The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences is planning to release a Notice of Funding Opportunity under the R01 activity code to support research on the gut microbiome-brain axis. The program aims to identify improved detection, prevention, and intervention strategies for neurological diseases induced by environmental exposures. This includes a broad scope of outcomes such as mental health disorders and chronic neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The primary objective is to develop gut-focused interventions, including probiotics, nutritional supplements, microbial biomarkers, and novel therapeutics, to reduce risk or slow the progression of these conditions. While applications are not yet being accepted, the agency is encouraging investigators with expertise in toxicology, neuroscience, and the microbiome to form collaborative partnerships in preparation for the upcoming solicitation.

Full Description

Show more

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research that builds on our understanding of the gut microbiome-brain axis for the purpose of identifying improved detection, prevention, and intervention strategies for environmental exposure-induced neurological diseases. Given the overlapping gut-brain signaling pathways and the prevalence of neurological conditions with gut-related comorbidities, the scope of this program would be inclusive of a wide range of neurological outcomes, including mental health disorders and chronic neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. The objective of this program is to develop gut-focused intervention strategies (e.g., probiotics, microbial biomarkers, nutritional supplements and novel therapeutics) to decrease risk, slow progression, or possibly reverse these neurological condition(s). Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the R01 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of biological mechanisms underlying the effects of environmental exposures on neurological outcomes and the mediating role of the gut-brain axis are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO. In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in toxicology, microbiome, and neuroscience will be encouraged and these investigators should also begin considering applying for this application.

Fast Assessment of Solutions, Therapeutics, Pharmaceuticals, and SupplieS (FASTPASS) Innovative Solutions Opening
Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-160
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is seeking multiple awardees under Other Transaction Agreements for the Fast Assessment of Solutions, Therapeutics, Pharmaceuticals, and SupplieS (FASTPASS) program. The objective is to develop a near real-time, non-destructive, AI-enabled system capable of screening pharmaceutical products and inputs through their packaging at ports of entry and other supply-chain nodes. By integrating multi-modal sensing, signal processing, and data fusion, the system aims to augment FDA oversight by detecting contamination, adulteration, and formulation variability without opening containers. The program is structured as a 54-month effort divided into three 18-month phases, culminating in a fieldable platform with integrated visual imaging and machine-readable code documentation. Eligible respondents include universities, non-profit organizations, small businesses, and other commercial entities, provided they maintain active registration in SAM.gov and are not entities of concern under the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. The submission process requires a mandatory Solution Summary Presentation by September 21, 2026, followed by a full proposal due by November 10, 2026. Full proposals must include a technical and management plan, a task description document, a cost proposal narrative and workbook, and a milestone payment schedule. Selection will favor technologies capable of analyzing a broad range of products and packaging, while destructive testing methods and technologies requiring the opening of samples are explicitly excluded from the scope.

HYDROSPHERE, BIOSPHERE, & GEOPHYSICS (HBG) SUPPORT SERVICES II - FINAL REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (FRFP)
Solicitation # 80GSFC27R0015
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center is soliciting proposals for the Hydrosphere, Biosphere, and Geophysics (HBG) Support Services II contract, under solicitation number 80GSFC27R0015. This small business set-aside is a hybrid Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year effective ordering period. The contract allows for the issuance of both Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) and Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) task orders to support science research and computing activities across various laboratories, including the Cryospheric Sciences, Ocean Ecology, Hydrological Sciences, Biospheric Sciences, Geodesy and Geophysics, and the Terrestrial Information Systems Laboratory. The primary objective is to develop and apply space, field-deployed, and laboratory-based technologies to address societal issues related to water resources, ecosystems, sea level change, and the Earth's magnetic and gravity fields. The scope of work encompasses scientific modeling, simulation, data assimilation, satellite instrument performance analysis, and the planning and execution of field campaigns. Performance will occur at the Goddard Space Flight Center and the contractor's facilities, with acceptance managed by the Contracting Officer or a designated representative. Award selection will be based on a tradeoff approach, prioritizing Mission Suitability as the most important factor, followed by Cost and Past Performance. Proposals must be submitted in four volumes, including a numerically scored Mission Suitability volume and a detailed Cost volume. Additionally, the contractor must adhere to strict security requirements, including the provision of a Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management plan and compliance with NDAA Section 889 regarding telecommunications and surveillance equipment.

Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource-Constrained Settings--Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN)The Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource Constrained Settings Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN) is a National Institutes of Health initiative focused on conducting implementation science research to combat adolescent HIV. By developing and testing scalable, low-resource care delivery models in low- and middle-income countries, the network aims to generate robust evidence on HIV incidence, prevention uptake, and viral suppression. These international studies leverage large adolescent populations and innovative, cost-effective service delivery methods to create practice-ready strategies that can be adapted for marginalized and high-burden populations within the United States. The program addresses critical gaps in the U.S. healthcare system where adolescents face similar barriers to care as those in resource-constrained global settings, including poverty, stigma, and fragmented services. Comprising Clinical Research Centers and a Data and Coordinating Center, PATC3H-IN supports the goals of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative by accelerating the translation of resilient and cost-conscious care models into domestic practice. This effort is authorized under the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to improve overall care outcomes and prevent new HIV acquisitions among at-risk youth.
