Title: Healthy Families Community-Based Perinatal Health Initiative

Application Deadline:  July 18, 2023

The Office of Minority Health (OMH) is dedicated to improving the health of racial and ethnic minority populations through the development of health policies and programs that will help eliminate health disparities. Through its demonstration projects, OMH supports the identification of effective approaches for improving health outcomes with the goal of promoting dissemination and sustainability of these approaches.OMH intends projects funded under the Healthy Families Community-Based Perinatal Health Initiative (COPHI) to develop innovative models for integrating community-based maternal support services (COMSS) into perinatal systems of care.  COMSS are social and supportive services that address social determinants of health (SDOH), such as health literacy; pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting education; cultural and linguistic diversity; exposure to trauma, housing; food; and transportation. These services are provided during pregnancy, labor and delivery and after delivery by trained individuals, such as doulas and community health workers. Integrating COMSS into perinatal systems of care will ultimately improve pregnant and post-partum people's health outcomes and reduce racial and ethnic disparities.

Title: Next Generation Multipurpose Prevention Technologies (NGM) (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Application Deadline:  Multiple deadlines

The objective of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support the continued development of new and innovative on-demand, event-driven, and long-acting (systemic and non-systemic) multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs). It supports development of MPTs that prevent HIV infection and pregnancy (hormonal and non-hormonal methods); sexually transmitted infections (STI) and pregnancy; or multiple non-HIV STI or HIV/STI MPTs in cis and trans males and females of all ages. Applications for MPT development may involve pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), safety and, drug-drug interactions (DDI) studies using drug development, and formulation science supported by animal model testing. Also supported are biobehavioral and behavioral/social studies to identify MPT user-desired rheological and biophysical factors (look, feel, effectiveness, safety, and duration of action) and other behavioral/social factors that could promote increased MPT adoption and use.

Title: Quantifying the Impact of Environmental Toxicants on Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) Risk in Cohort Studies (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Application Deadline:  October 23, 2023

The causes of AD/ADRD are multi-factorial in nature, and include factors related to aging, genetics, and the environment. Large scale multi-omic projects have greatly contributed to increasing knowledge of genomic variants and molecular/biological pathways involved in the development of AD/ADRD. However, the role of environmental exposures and their mechanisms that contribute to the pathogenesis of sporadic AD/ADRD remains an area of research that requires further exploration. The evaluation of environmental exposures has been limited due, in part, to the variation of the methods of measuring environmental exposures, the number of exposures, the multiple sources of exposures, and rarity of certain exposures. Importantly, exposures earlier in life are likely to take decades to impact risk of developing AD/ADRD, and this adds a level of complexity to exposure research. This NOFO aims to generate high quality, high dimensional environmental exposure data that can be used by the greater research community for downstream multiscale modeling/systems biology analyses aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of the effect of toxicant exposure on AD/ADRD risk.

Title: Preclinical Studies to Characterize the Impact of Toxicants on Brain Aging and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Application Deadline:  October 23, 2023

It is well appreciated that the complexity and heterogeneity of AD/ADRD is a consequence of a dynamic interaction between genes and environment over the lifespan. Although a growing body of epidemiologic, genomic, and mechanistic research points to a significant contribution of various environmental factors (i.e., the exposome) on AD/ADRD risk and resilience, our understanding of the impact of the exposome on the etiology of AD/ADRD is still rudimentary. A large body of evidence from epidemiologic studies points to significant contribution of environmental toxicants (such as air pollution, toxic metals, and pesticides) to poor cognitive health and elevated risk of dementia. While studies in animal models have led to multiple mechanistic insights regarding the impact of individual toxicants on AD pathology, knowledge about the molecular mechanisms by which exposure to toxicants during early life and mid-life influences various aspects of brain aging is lacking. This initiative builds on NIA’s investment in the development and characterization of the next generation of mouse models of AD by the MODEL-AD consortium, the multi-omic mapping of AD in brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood conducted by the Accelerating Medicines Partnership for AD (AMP AD) and other NIA-supported systems biology consortia and the advances made in resolving the complex genetics of AD by the NIA-supported genetics consortia.
