The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the next 5-year award period of the Clinician-Scientist Transdisciplinary Aging Research Coordinating Center (Clin-STAR CC), whose mission is to serve as a national resource for clinician-investigators across specialties and disciplines who are focusing their careers on aging research. The specific goals of this initiative are to convey scientific and research knowledge on aging research; foster networking and collaboration between clinician-scientist leaders in aging research and clinician-investigators across specialties and disciplines who wish to focus on aging research; provide mentoring and career development support for emerging clinician-scientists committed to pursuing aging research in their clinical specialty or discipline; and advance interdisciplinary research projects in aging. Ultimately, the Clin-STAR CC is intended to provide a multi-faceted national research platform leading to improved patient-centered care for older adults across specialties and disciplines. In addition, the next 5-year funding period of the Clin-STAR CC will support expanded functions to broaden the scope and reach of its high-value activities. A key priority in this re-issuance will be an increased focus on promoting geographic representation and a breadth of clinical disciplines among early career clinician-scientists in aging research.


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 intends to utilize the U24 activity code

NextSTEP-3 Appendix B: Moon Base Demonstrations
Solicitation # M2M-MSFC-0001
The solicitation for NextSTEP-3 Appendix B: Moon Base Demonstrations, issued under solicitation number 80MSFC26R0003 by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, seeks industry-led demonstrations to advance the development of a permanent lunar base at the Moon’s South Pole, aligning with national space policy goals of sustained lunar presence and deep space exploration readiness. This initiative targets technology readiness levels 6 and above to bridge the gap between innovation and operational mission needs, with an emphasis on architectural studies, risk reduction, and capability maturation rather than hardware production. The procurement employs a two-step process: initial White Paper submissions followed by invited full proposals under a Multi-Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) structure, with all awards structured as Firm-Fixed-Price contracts featuring performance-based milestone payments. The solicitation operates under a dual-path approach, combining Directed-Topic Calls that address specific, evolving mission needs with Open-Topic Calls that invite broader, unanticipated innovations—though submissions duplicating Directed-Topic concepts will be deemed ineligible. Evaluation is based on a non-trade-off, best-value selection process where Technical Capability (including Capability and Past Performance) is weighted at 1,000 points and must meet minimum thresholds for eligibility, while Price is assessed solely for reasonableness and completeness and does not factor into ranking. Proposals must adhere to strict formatting rules, including page limits and submission as a single searchable PDF, with key personnel qualifications, organizational conflict of interest plans, and intellectual property disclosures required as attachments. All contractors must maintain active SAM.gov registration, submit required certifications and representations, and comply with NASA-specific clauses related to data rights, payments, changes, subcontracting, whistleblower protections, and safety and liability waivers. Performance will be conducted under the NASA FAR Supplement, with invoicing required through the NASA Shared Services Center and all delivery and inspection terms left intentionally unspecified, reinforcing the analytical nature of deliverables—reports, models, simulations, and feasibility studies—rather than physical products. The contracting office at Huntsville, Alabama, remains the point of contact, with questions directed to the designated Contracting Officer, and submissions must be completed by the stated deadline to remain valid.

Partnership with Common Fund Data Ecosystem ResourcesThe NIH Office of Strategic Coordination through its Common Fund is seeking partnerships between Common Fund data programs and external biomedical data resources to improve the reusability and integration of Common Fund datasets within broader scientific ecosystems. The initiative aims to advance the FAIR principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable—by fostering collaborations that bridge the Common Fund Data Ecosystem with other significant NIH data platforms such as the HEAL Data Ecosystem, BRAIN Initiative, Cancer Research Data Commons, ImmPort, TOPMed, and the Medical Imaging and Data Resource Center. These partnerships are intended to develop shared resources that enhance data connectivity, enable cross-platform analysis, and promote broader scientific utility of Common Fund data without supporting new clinical trials. The funding opportunity is open to non-CF biomedical data resources that can contribute infrastructure, tools, or expertise to amplify the impact of Common Fund datasets. Applicants must propose concrete plans for integration, interoperability, and sustainability of jointly developed resources. While no specific funding amount or deadline is indicated in the provided data, the solicitation was posted on August 6, 2026, and inquiries may be directed to the Common Fund Data Ecosystem Program via cfde@od.nih.gov. This effort reflects a strategic push by the NIH to unify diverse biomedical data ecosystems under common standards, enabling more comprehensive and efficient data-driven research across disciplines and institutions.
