As part of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First Program), the NIH invites applications to submit samples from pediatric cohorts for whole genome sequencing at a Kids First Program supported genomic data generating centers. Applicants are encouraged to propose sequencing of existing pediatric cancer or congenital anomaly cohorts to elucidate the genetic contribution (somatic and/or germline) to childhood cancers, to investigate the genetic etiology of congenital anomalies, to study the molecular basis of the associations between congenital anomalies and increased cancer risk, or to expand the range of pediatric disorders included within the Kids First Data Resource. The program will accept applications that propose whole genome, exome, and transcriptome sequencing, as well as clinical-grade sequencing, long-read sequencing, proteomics, and epigenomic assays of tumor or affected tissue, when justified. Applicants are encouraged to propose cohorts to increase representation of existing Kids First Program projects. These data, and associated clinical and phenotypic data, will become part of the Kids First Data Resource Center for sharing with the research community.

NIH R25 Summer Research Education Experience Program is a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that funds universities and institutions of higher education to provide summer research experiences in environmental health sciences to high school students, college undergraduates, and science teachers. Administered through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the program aims to attract young people to scientific careers and help teachers communicate about the scientific process more effectively. Eligible applicants are U.S. institutions eligible for NIH grants. The application deadline was March 17, 2026.
Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Impact of Technology and Digital Media Exposure Usage on Child and Adolescent Development is sponsored by National Institutes of Health (NIH), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). This funding opportunity will solicit applications for research on the impact of technology and digital media on children and adolescents, including potential broader effects on their families and communities. It aims to address the urgent need to understand how TDM use and exposure impacts children's health and development, as well as how it alters interactions between children and their family members, peers, and society at large.
NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award (K32) is a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented groups, to pursue research training in cancer-related fields. The K32 award supports fellows within 12 months prior to transitioning into, or within the first two years of, a postdoctoral position. The program, operated through NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), aims to enhance the pool of qualified diverse cancer researchers. Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.
Innovation Grant is a grant from the Delta Dental of Arizona Foundation that funds nonprofit organizations pursuing unique, high-impact projects that improve health and wellness in Arizona communities. This two-year award supports original initiatives with measurable real-world impact, including programs serving underserved and uninsured populations through oral health education, disease prevention, and nutritional access. Projects must demonstrate the potential to make a meaningful difference in the community and stand apart from conventional approaches. Eligible applicants are Arizona-based nonprofit organizations. Awards total $100,000 per recipient over two years. The 2026 application cycle closed October 16, 2025, with recipients notified in late 2025 and funding made available shortly after.
NIH's FY2026 budget held steady at $47.2 billion — yet by the end of February the agency had issued roughly 66% fewer competitive grant awards than its FY21–24 average, and by late spring award volume was still running dramatically below historical norms. The cause is not a budget cut. It is a pipeline failure: only 14 Notices of Funding Opportunity published by mid-March versus 756 in all of 2024, a workforce down nearly 20%, funds held by OMB into March, and new political-appointee sign-off on NOFOs. FY25 success rates fell to 17% — the lowest in 30 years — and early-stage investigators dropped to 18.5%. This is the definitive breakdown of what is happening, why the money isn't moving, and the concrete diversification strategy labs need for the next 18 months.
Read articleAfter an authorization lapse froze new SBIR/STTR awards for five months, NIH reopens its submission window on August 5, 2026, with a first standard deadline of September 8. Phase I awards run to $323,090, Phase II to $2,153,927, with published waiver topics reaching $700,000 and $3 million — and a new Phase IIB Strategic Breakthrough lane up to $30 million. Here is how the restarted omnibus is structured, why applying early matters more than usual this cycle, and how to position a life-science startup to win.
Read articleNIH has awarded 74% fewer new grants than its 2021-2024 average and is roughly $1 billion behind its normal timeline, but the FY2026 money still has to go out the door before the fiscal year ends. Here is why a year-end obligation cliff is coming, who is positioned to catch it, and how applicants should prepare for a compressed Q4 award rush.
