Full Description

Show more

The Bioengineering Research, Innovation and Technology Education (BRITE) Program is designed to foster the development of undergraduate freshmen and sophomores to pursue further studies and careers in bioengineering, biomedical imaging or other STEM fields relevant to NIBIB’s scientific mission. Applications are encouraged to propose integrated educational activities that include three elements: 1) a summer bridge program for incoming freshmen, and 2) in the freshman and sophomore years, educational activities during the academic year, and 3) summer research experiences. The BRITE program is intended to expose students to bioengineering and biomedical imaging and provide research, innovation and entrepreneurship training early in their college careers by incorporating didactic, experiential, mentoring and career development opportunities.

Student participants will receive support for the first two years of their undergraduate training. To enhance capacity for rigorous bioengineering training, this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will support programs at baccalaureate degree granting institutions with modest levels of NIH research project grant funding.

The ultimate goal is for participants to pursue a doctoral degree or a subsequent research career in bioengineering, biomedical imaging or other NIBIB-relevant field that will in turn have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation.

Accelerating Research and Development of Next Generation Vaccines against Malaria - a Model for Mosquito-Borne Diseases (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Solicitation # RFA-AI-28-024
The National Institutes of Health, under the Department of Health and Human Services, is soliciting applications for RFA-AI-28-024 to support the research and preclinical development of highly efficacious malaria vaccines. The initiative focuses on utilizing structure-based immunogen design, improved formulations, and combination vaccines to create long-lasting protection that can serve as a model for other mosquito-borne diseases. This funding opportunity is structured as a phased award, consisting of an R61 exploratory phase for up to three years with annual direct costs up to 400,000 dollars, and an R33 development phase for up to two years with annual direct costs up to 750,000 dollars. The maximum total project period is five years, and clinical trials are strictly prohibited. Applications will be evaluated through the NIH peer review system based on the importance of the research, rigor and feasibility of the approach, and the expertise of the investigators and their environment. Key requirements include the establishment of quantifiable R61 transition milestones and clear translational Go/No-go criteria for vaccine candidates. Applicants must maintain active SAM registration and provide a Data Management and Sharing Plan. Additionally, recipients must adhere to strict cybersecurity protocols modeled after the NIST framework, including multifactor authentication and a 48-hour incident notification requirement, and ensure all research involving human subjects or vertebrate animals complies with federal regulations and ethical guidelines.

Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet): SenNet Technology Projects (SenTecs) (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Solicitation # RFA-RM-27-007
The National Institutes of Health, under the Department of Health and Human Services, is soliciting the development or adaptation of innovative senescence technologies (SenTecs) through solicitation RFA-RM-27-007. These technologies aim to identify, characterize, and understand senescent cell heterogeneity within tissue environments and secretomes to improve strategies for modulating these cells in human aging and disease. The program utilizes a five-year, milestone-driven award structure divided into two phases: a two-year UG3 phase focused on development and feasibility, and a three-year UH3 phase dedicated to optimization, refinement, and validation. Transition to the UH3 phase is not automatic and requires an administrative review at the end of year two. The final year of the award requires a collaborative demonstration project within the SenNet consortium. The NIH intends to commit 5.4 million dollars in total costs for fiscal year 2027 to fund up to nine awards, with direct cost caps of 400,000 dollars per year for the UG3 phase and 550,000 dollars per year for the UH3 phase. Applications are evaluated based on the importance of the research, scientific rigor, feasibility, and the expertise of the investigators. Required submissions include an Intellectual Property Strategy and a Data Management and Sharing Plan. Awardees must adhere to strict cybersecurity incident reporting, maintain a seven-year confidentiality agreement for non-public information, and ensure all technical assets and data are deposited into the SenNet Data Portal. Clinical trials are not allowed under this specific opportunity.

Continuation of the Exceptional Longevity Data Management and Coordinating Center (EL DMCC) (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)The National Institute on Aging intends to issue a single U24 cooperative agreement award to support the continued operation and expansion of the Exceptional Longevity Data Management and Coordinating Center. Serving as the central hub for human longevity translational research, the center integrates deeply phenotyped cohorts and multi-omics datasets to enable cross-cohort analyses and collaborative research. Key responsibilities include data harmonization, the implementation of common data standards, and the management of the ELITE Portal, which provides the research community with secure access to analytical tools and cloud-based computational workspaces. The upcoming funding opportunity will require the Coordinating Center to expand its capabilities in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the integration of diverse datasets across different species. Future objectives include the development of curated target knowledgebases for therapeutic targets, the enhancement of portal interoperability according to FAIR data principles, and the strengthening of community engagement through specialized training and workshops. This notice serves as a forecast to allow potential applicants to establish collaborations before the official solicitation is released.
