The NIH Common Fund has active funding opportunities for the High-Risk, High-Reward Research program. These funding opportunities seek outside-the-box research ideas that if successful would have a large impact on an area of research relevantg to the broad mission of NIH. Though this program is a time-tested approach for sparking innovation, NIH is not fully tapping into the scientific potential of the nation in terms of the diversity of applicants, institutions, or scientific topics. This is an opportunity for you to speak with NIH Program Officers and have your questions directly answered about the four initiatives the HRHR program offers. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION

UNIVERSITY OF UTAH GRANT WRITING COACHING GROUP STUDY - Applications for Cohort 5 are due by Sept 13, 2021.  Are you finding it challenging to learn the intricacies of writing NIH-style research proposals? Do you struggle with making a compelling case to reviewers for the importance of your research project? Are you having trouble getting consistent feedback from experts as you write research proposals? If any or all of these apply to you, then consider applying for entry into the University of Utah Grant Writing Coaching Group Study. Group coaching for Cohort 5 will take place Jan-May 2022. You must be targeting an NIH submission deadline of May-Sept 2022, or Oct-Dec 2022. All study participants will engage in a 5-month long, writing-intensive, small group coaching experience designed to refine their proposal writing skills and facilitate timely submission of their proposals. The coaching used in this study has been developed for over 10 years and expanded to national groups since 2014 through the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN). Find more information here.

A team of UA biomedical researchers have joined a federally funded effort to improve tracking of COVID-19 variants throughout the state. The NIH grant supports efforts to sequence and analyze genomes of variants circulating in Alaska. Participants include UAF researchers Jack Chen and Devin Drown, and UAA researchers Jason Burkhead, Cindy Knall and Eric Bortz. Other collaborators on the project include the Southcentral Foundation and the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium.
