The National Institutes of Health is issuing a forecast for the Parent R35 Investigator-Focused Award to support research programs for investigators at all career stages, including Early Stage Investigators. Unlike traditional grants that fund specific projects with predefined aims, this award focuses on the investigator's overall research program within the mission of the awarding Institute or Center. It is intended to serve as the recipient's primary or sole source of research funding from the awarding entity. This funding mechanism is designed to provide scientific freedom and stability, allowing researchers to pursue ambitious and innovative studies without the constant need to seek new funding streams. By reducing the administrative burden of grant management, the award enables investigators to dedicate more time to research, mentoring, and scientific service, thereby increasing the potential for significant scientific breakthroughs.

Full Description

Show more

The National Institutes of Health intends to publish a Parent R35 "Investigator-Focused Award" Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to fund research programs for investigators at all career stages, including Early Stage Investigators (ESIs). The Parent R35 Investigator-Focused Award is intended to provide support for an investigator's program of research within the mission of the awarding Institute or Center (IC) rather than support for a pre-defined project with specific aims. 

The R35 is typically expected to be an investigator's primary (or only) source of research funding from the awarding IC.  

An R35 award gives investigators funding stability and scientific freedom. With R35 support, researchers can pursue ambitious and innovative studies without the pressure of constantly seeking new funding streams. Key benefits include: 

  • Providing flexibility to follow the science as it evolves within the awarding IC's mission.
  • Providing stability to take on important, challenging research questions.
  • Allowing recipients to devote sufficient time to research, mentoring, and scientific service, and less time to grant administration.
  • Providing a high potential for scientific breakthroughs by enabling investigators to think broadly and pursue promising opportunities.

Solicitation # 75N98026R00085
The National Institutes of Health intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with the University of Illinois at Chicago for preclinical animal research services. The project focuses on evaluating the therapeutic effects of soluble adenylyl cyclase inhibition on pulmonary arterial hypertension using a specific endothelial cell-specific Cav1 knockout murine model. The University of Illinois at Chicago is identified as the sole source because it maintains the necessary mouse colony required for the study, which is not known to be available at other laboratories. This special notice, identified by solicitation number 75N98026R00085, is not a request for competitive quotations, though interested responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration. The performance of the research will take place in Chicago, Illinois. The response deadline for any interested parties to submit documentation is September 21, 2026.

Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) Clinical Networks of Diagnostic ExcellenceThe National Institutes of Health, through NINDS, plans to support multiple clinical Networks of Diagnostic Excellence as part of the next phase of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. These networks will operate as geographically distributed regional entities rather than single-site centers, leveraging partnerships with academic medical centers, hospitals, and community-based clinics to increase access to specialized diagnostic expertise. The primary goal is to provide coordinated, multidisciplinary, and participant-centered evaluations for individuals with highly challenging and difficult-to-diagnose conditions. Clinical NODEs will be responsible for recruiting participants, conducting medical record reviews, and coordinating evaluations with local partners. Beyond direct patient care, these networks will develop innovative diagnostic tools, re-evaluate unsolved cases, and conduct research to improve the participant experience. They are also expected to engage in network governance, provide standardized training, and incorporate community input through advisory boards. This notice serves as a forecast to allow potential applicants to establish the necessary regional collaborations and partnerships before formal applications are solicited.
