Modern Equipment for Shared-use Biomedical Research Facilities: Advancing Research-Related Operations
🇺🇸NIH · United States
Funds up to $350,000 of equipment that keeps a shared research facility running — but explicitly not scientific instruments. A cost share is required.
NHLBI Program Project Applications
🇺🇸NIH · United States
Funds at least three interlocking projects on one heart, lung, blood or sleep question — a programme, not a collection of separate grants.
Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs) in Human Cancers for Years 2024, 2025, and 2026
🇺🇸NIH · United States
Funds translational cancer centres built around one organ system, or one biological mechanism that drives cancer across several. A clinical trial is required.
Utilizing Equipment to Study Environmental Extrinsic Factors and Enhance Rigor and Reproducibility of Animal Research (Clinical Trials Not-Allowed)
🇺🇸NIH · United States
Funds the kit that measures what else is happening to lab animals — light, noise, temperature — because those variables quietly wreck reproducibility.
DoW Kidney Cancer, Academy of Kidney Cancer Investigators - Early-Career Scholar Award
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds an early-career researcher's kidney cancer project alongside paired mentoring inside the program's own investigator academy.
DoW Kidney Cancer, Idea Development Award
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds an early-stage kidney cancer research idea built on a clear hypothesis and a strong scientific rationale.
Limited Competition: High Impact Specialized Innovation Programs in Clinical and Translational Science (RC2)
🇺🇸NIH · United States
Funds an existing CTSA hub to build a capability the whole network is missing — and to prove it can be handed to other hubs afterwards.
DARPA BTO Office-wide BAA
🇺🇸DARPA · United States
Funds United States convergence work in biology, neurotechnology, and synthetic biology for strategic defense purposes.
Biological Technologies
🇺🇸DARPA · United States
Funds biological science pushed toward protecting warfighters, not incremental upgrades to existing methods.
Continuation of Solicitation for the DOE Office of Science Financial Assistance Program
🇺🇸DOE SC · United States
Supports unsolicited basic research proposals across all Office of Science thematic areas in the United States.
DOE Office of Science Open Solicitation
🇺🇸DOE SC · United States
Connects research teams and institutions for DOE Office of Science Solicitation in artificial intelligence, energy systems, and fusion research.
DoW Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Research Program, Clinical Outcomes and Biomarkers Award
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds developing or validating the biomarkers and outcome measures that make ALS clinical trials sharper, not the trials themselves.
DoW Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Research Program, Pilot Clinical Trial Award
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds a phase 1 or small phase 2 ALS clinical trial that must start within a year of the award, with a biomarker built in for any drug, biologic or device.
DoW Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Research Program, Therapeutic Development Award
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds preclinical-to-IND-enabling work on an ALS drug that already has proof-of-concept efficacy data and a lead compound in hand.
DoW Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Research Program, Therapeutic Idea Award
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds an early, hypothesis-driven ALS drug or therapy idea before there's data proving it will work.
DoW Breast Cancer, Breakthrough Award Level 3
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds breast cancer research mature enough to run a small clinical trial, though a trial is not required at this level.
DoW Breast Cancer, Breakthrough Award Level 4
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds a single, large breast cancer research effort built around a clinical trial that has to happen.
DoW Breast Cancer, Transformative Breast Cancer Consortium Award
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds a large, multi-institution team of scientists, clinicians and advocates tackling one breast cancer problem too big for a single lab.
DoW Rare Cancers Concept Award
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds an untested, high-risk idea in rare cancers, judged with no names attached to keep the review blind.
FY 2026 Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program
🇺🇸DOE SC · United States
Funds DOE Office of Science research in computing, energy sciences, biology, fusion, high-energy and nuclear physics, and isotopes — open to any applicant type.
NOAA NMFS BAA
🇺🇸NOAA · United States
Supports fisheries and marine management research aligned with NOAA mission in the United States.
NOAA-wide BAA FY
🇺🇸NOAA · United States
Supports research, education, and outreach across NOAA domains when no other program fits.
NRL Broad Agency Announcement
🇺🇸Navy · United States
Supports naval research collaborations with universities, firms, and consortia for practical outcomes.
DoW Ovarian Cancer, Clinical Trial Award
🇺🇸MRDC / CDMRP · United States
Funds clinical trials of ovarian cancer drugs, biologics, devices or guidance, from small pilots to large efficacy studies.
