The FY23 PRARP TRA is intended to support studies that will make transformative and advanced contributions to reduce risk of or prevent the development of AD/ADRD. Risk reduction considering TBI and/or military service is of particular interest to the program. The work should significantly accelerate efforts in AD/ADRD research and demonstrate significant positive impact toward improving patient care and/or quality of life.Key elements of this award mechanism include:• Research should be robust: The FY23 PRARP TRA mechanism is geared toward supporting robust, well designed research projects that provide significant, near-term impact on the AD/ADRD field, persons living with dementia, and their families, care-partners/caregivers, and communities. To ensure near-term applicability, inclusion of collaborative community partner approaches is strongly encouraged for all projects and is required for all projects involving clinical research.• Non-incremental advancement: Research projects should leverage existing knowledge to accelerate ideas, strengthen evidence, and move the field forward toward nearer-term impact. Projects proposing incremental advances that do not significantly propel the field are not appropriate for this mechanism.• Feedback to the community: Results and outcomes of the research supported by this mechanism must be relayed back to the community to allow for continued knowledge building.Inclusion of preliminary data is required. Use of animal models must be fully justified for relevance to human health. Clinical research applications are required to include a community collaboration research element.

To increase research capacity for NF, the NFRP is offering the NFRA. The intent of the NFRA is to provide a framework of intensive mentoring and iterative guidance with proposed research, national networking, collaborations, and a peer group of junior faculty (Scholars). The NFRP NFRA will bring together established NF investigators (one Director and one Deputy Director) and early-career independent investigators (Scholars) and their Career Guides to develop successful, highly productive NF scientists and clinicians that will conduct research with the aim of lessening the clinical impact of NF1, NF2, and schwannomatosis. The NFRA is a multi-institutional interactive virtual academy platform designed to offer support to NFRA Scholars with the goal to advance innovative, high impact NF research through a collaborative and career development environment.The functioning NFRA will consist of Scholars and their Career Guides (mentors) from different institutions, and an Academy Director and Deputy Director (see Figure 1 below). The Academy Director and Deputy Director will catalyze the growth and professional development of the Scholars in collaboration with their Career Guides, assess the progress of the Scholars, and facilitate communication and collaboration among all Academy members. The Career Guide is not required to be at the same institution as the Scholar; however, if the (primary) Career Guide is from a different institution, a secondary Career Guide at the Scholar’s institution is needed. The NFRA will afford Scholars opportunities to operate in a collegial, highly dynamic, and cutting-edge center to move early-career investigators towards positions as leaders in NF conducting impactful research.During this first phase of the academy, the NFRP is offering the FY24 NFRALA funding opportunity to solicit applications for an Academy Director and Deputy Director to lead the NFRA. The Academy Director and Deputy Director (referred to as Academy Leadership) must be established NF researchers and can be at different institutions. The Academy Leadership must demonstrate a strong record of mentoring and training early-career independent investigators, a commitment to leadership, the ability to articulate methods toward research collaborations, and the ability to objectively assess the progress of all Scholars in the NFRA. An objective of the NFRA leadership team is to establish the Academy structure in its first year and in subsequent years, conduct oversight of this activity. Other objectives will include execution of research that will engage NFRA FY25 Scholars (including subsequent-year Scholars), develop tools for Scholars to enable success, and provide opportunities to broaden their knowledge in NF disorders. The leadership team will identify and offer opportunities to network with other NFRP FY25 Early Investigator Research Award recipients (and subsequent year awardees) and NFRP FY25 New Investigator Award – Early-Stage Investigator (NIA – ESI) Award recipients (and subsequent year awardees). In the second stage of the academy, the NFRP anticipates release of funding opportunities for the Scholars who will conduct their research under the guidance of the NFRA leadership team.

Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) Research Advancement Award supports fundamental research studies that will make an important contribution towards research, patient care, and/or quality of life for a disease or condition related to one of the congressionally directed FY26 PRMRP topic areas and one of the FY26 PRMRP portfolio-specific strategic goals.Distinctive Features: Applications must include preliminary data. The Research Advancement Award supports use-inspired basic research to further or validate preliminary findings for short- and long-term impact. Proposed research projects may range from hypothesis testing to expansion of mature data.Funding Details: The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) expects to allot roughly $19.6M to fund approximately 14 Research Advancement Award applications with total cost caps of $1.4M per award. The maximum period of performance is 4 years. It is anticipated that awards made from this FY26 funding opportunity will be funded with FY26 funds, which will expire for use on September 30, 2032. Awards supported with FY26 funds will be made no later than September 30, 2027. Funding Opportunity Number: HT942526PRMRPRAA. Assistance Listing: 12.420. Funding Instrument: CA,G. Category: ST.

Human-Environment and Geographical Sciences Program (HEGS) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). Supports basic scientific research about the nature, causes, consequences, or evolution of the spatial dimensions of human behaviors, activities, and dynamics as well as their interactions with environmental and social processes across a range of scales. This includes research on socio-environmental systems and human-environmental interactions, which can encompass aspects of polycentric governance and common pool resources. The program has a new Transdisciplinary REsearch in Environmental Social Science (TREES) track for integrating social and environmental science.
The FY2026 Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program supports basic research in science and engineering at U.S. institutions of higher education, with emphasis on multidisciplinary research where more than one traditional discipline interacts. The Army, Navy, and Air Force basic research offices are seeking applications across 22 topic areas including artificial intelligence and autonomy, information sensing and processing, and systems manipulation. MURI grants typically provide $1.25 million to $1.5 million per year for three years with option to extend two additional years. Approximately $170 million in total funding is available annually across all topics. The program is administered through the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Army Research Office (ARO), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).

After SBIR reauthorization, the U.S. Army released five new small-business topics under Army FUZE — Ka-Band metamaterial radar, a Li-ion 6T battery open topic, in-transit-visibility blockchain, modular UAS payloads, and the xTech|Phantum prize competition. Awards run from $150K to $300K per Phase I. But the bigger story is the Army's shift from funding parts to funding whole systems. Here is what each topic funds and how to compete.
