RFA-TR-22-058: Emergency Awards: HEAL Initiative – Translational Science Career Enhancement Awards for Early and Mid-career Investigators (K18 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
First application due date: March 15, 2022 with additional due dates later in the year and in 2023.
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from early and mid-career investigators (i.e. postdoctoral fellow/associates – associate professor) who strive to expand their research trajectories through the acquisition of new knowledge and skills in the areas of therapeutic drug, biologic, or device development. This FOA is designed for early- and mid- career scientists with pain or opioid abuse expertise interested in receiving hands-on experience in translation at an industry laboratory, or an academic or government research center performing therapeutic development activities. The selected research environment should have the requisite capabilities and employ scientists and staff with expertise across the entire translational space for small molecule, biologic, or device development. Areas of requisite capabilities and expertise include, but are not limited to: assay development, high-throughput screening technology, medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry, advanced informatics, chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC), formulation, and toxicology needs assessments, risk assessment, benchtop models, in vitro models, in vivo models, cadaver testing, biocompatibility, shelf-life/stability, sterilization, leachables/extractables, electromagnetic compatibility, quality and data management systems, Phase I, II, III clinical trials, FDA regulatory requirements, human subjects protections, and data and safety monitoring. Potential instructional sites included: academic laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, biotechnologies companies, and non-profit research organizations. translating small molecules, biologics or devices. Career enhancement learning is not limited to these types of settings and this list is provided to facilitate preparation of applications, not an endorsement of these training sites (https://ncats.nih.gov/heal/funding/heal-translational-training-opportunity).
