Application Deadlines: October 2, 2023, December 1, 2023, and February 1, 2024
Purpose: 鈥淭his Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is intended to support novel environmental
health research in which an unpredictable event or policy change provides a limited
window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or environmental exposure
data. The primary motivation of the NOFO is to understand the consequences of natural
and human-made disasters, emerging environmental public health threats, and policy
changes in the U.S. and abroad. A distinguishing feature of an appropriate study is
the need for rapid review and funding, substantially shorter than the typical NIH
grant review/award cycle, for the research question to be addressed and swiftly implemented.鈥�
Amount: The combined budget for direct costs for the two-year project period may not
exceed $275,000.
Funding Agency: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Title:
Application Deadlines: October 2, 2023, June 3, 2024 and June 2, 2025

studies in an established rare disease preclinical model to demonstrate that a proposed
therapeutic agent warrants further development. In addition to preclinical efficacy,
accompanying pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies would be supported. Therapeutic
agents include small molecules, biologics or biotechnology-derived products. The goal
of this NOFO is to spur therapeutic development for rare diseases by advancing projects
to the point where they would attract subsequent investment supporting full Investigational
New Drug application development or progression to clinical trials in the case of
repurposing or repositioning.鈥�
Amount: The combined budget for direct costs for the two-year project period may not
exceed $275,000.
