ARPA-H announces a proposers’ day for the Ocular Laboratory for Analysis of Biomarkers (OCULAB) program.
The goal of the OCULAB program is to create a tear-based biomarker measurement device that can be inserted into the tear duct. This device could allow for the measurement of hormones, vitamins, medication, and proteins with less risk of damaging the sensor. The Ocular Laboratory for Analysis of Biomarkers Proposers’ Day is on December 12, 2024.
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation issues a request for research grant proposals.
Research grants are designed to support basic science research to increase the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis. These grants encourage the development of new information through studies at various levels, including subcellular, cellular, animal, or patient levels. Proposals must be hypothesis-driven and include sufficient preliminary data to justify support from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Applications are accepted in both Fall and Spring cycles.
| | | Limited Submission Opportunities | | Description: These are new institutional awards to stimulate the development of strong research, education, and public communications connections between fields that aim to understand and mitigate the impact of climate change on human health. In general, this award will support institutions or consortia that are already moving toward establishing themselves as centers of excellence for understanding climate change’s impact on human health and for leadership in climate education OR public communication around climate and health. Applications from institutions just starting to integrate Climate + Health into their planning are expected to be uncompetitive.
Limitation: one application per institution

| Description: This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) solicits proposals that are expected to establish research activities that will make significant contributions to NASA’s strategic research and technology development priorities and contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science, and technology capabilities of higher education, as well as the economic development of the jurisdiction receiving funding. Each funded NASA EPSCoR proposer shall work closely with a NASA researcher to focus on developing competitive research and technology for the solution of scientific and technical issues of importance to the NASA Mission Directorates and Centers as listed in the Appendix-A, NASA Mission Directorates and Center Alignment. This will allow EPSCoR researchers to work alongside NASA and commercial partners and is intended to strengthen the bonds among NASA EPSCoR jurisdictions, NASA, commercial partners, and other entities.
Limitation: three applications per institution
