Funding Landscape

ARPA-H Advances Initiative to Improve Clinical Trials for All Americans

The Advancing Clinical Trial Readiness initiative seeks to improve the nation’s ability to conduct clinical trials safely, quickly, and equitably. This is important to advance, integrate, and extend clinical trial capabilities that overcome challenges in evaluating new technologies, therapies, and platforms. Ambitiously, this effort seeks to enable 90% of all Americans to take part in a clinical trial within a half hour of their home. ARPA-H is currently seeking feedback through a Network Activation Call. All organizations with relevant experience and expertise are invited to respond. The deadline to provide feedback is December 1, 2023.

Limited Submission Opportunities

DOE: Environmental System Science

Description: The goal of the ESS program in BER is to advance an integrated, robust, and scale-aware predictive understanding of terrestrial systems and their interdependent microbial, biogeochemical, ecological, hydrological, and physical processes. To support this goal, the program uses a systems approach to develop an integrative framework to elucidate the complex processes and controls on the structure, function, feedbacks, and dynamics of terrestrial systems, that span from molecular to global scales, and extend from the bedrock through the soil, rhizosphere, and vegetation to the atmosphere. The ESS program scope advances foundational process knowledge with an emphasis on understudied ecosystems.
Limitation: one application per institution
Internal Submission Deadline: Thursday, November 16, 2023
Sponsor Application Deadline: Wednesday, November 29, 2023

 

Mary Kay Foundation: Innovative/Translational Cancer Research Grant Program 2024

Description: The Mary Kay Ash Foundation is a non-profit public foundation, which focuses on funding research for innovative grants for translational research of cancers affecting women (ovarian, uterine, breast, endometrial or cervical cancer among others). Translational research is broadly defined as research that will provide a scientific link between laboratory research and the clinic. Such research would lead to improvement in diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, or treatment of the cancer.
Limitation: one application per institution
Internal Submission Deadline: Tuesday, December 12, 2023
Sponsor Deadline: Thursday, February 1, 2024

 

NEH: National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP)

LC will permanently maintain this searchable database, which will be freely accessible online (see Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers). An accompanying national newspaper directory of bibliographic and holdings information on the website directs users to newspaper titles available in all types of formats. During the course of its partnership with NEH, LC will digitize and contribute a significant number of newspaper pages drawn from its own collections to Chronicling America.
Limitation: one application per institution
