University of Kentucky CCTS Small Grants
Sponsor: UK Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS)
Amount: up to $5,000
Deadline: Rolling
Description: Small grants of up to $5000 are available to help strengthen applications for extramural research grants (for example, NIH R or K-awards or awards from private foundations). These grants are limited to six months in duration. This mechanism will not fund clinical trials (NIH definition). Emphasis is given to applications that promote translational research on human conditions and involve a clinician in the investigating team (i.e. physician, nurse, pharmacist, clinical social worker, etc.).

Research
Increasing Uptake of Evidence-Based Screening in Diverse Adult Populations (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
Sponsor: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Amount: Application budgets are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
Deadline: Cycle I Feb 5, 2021 5:00pm, Cycle 2 June 5, 2021, Cycle 3 November 5, 2021
Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications that seek to understand strategies to reduce disparities in the uptake of evidence-based screening (e.g. screening recommendations proven to be effective based on rigorous systematic review of scientific evidence by authoritative committees) across the adult lifespan. In this program announcement, screening is defined as a preventive service focused on detection of an undiagnosed disease in asymptomatic populations. Research supported by this initiative should enhance the screening process related to use: (1) in diverse populations, (2) in diverse clinical and community settings, and/or (3) with traditional, non-traditional and/or allied health care providers. The scope of the proposed project should determine the project period. The maximum project period is 5 years.

Notice of Special Interest: Health Services Research on Minority Health and Health Disparities (R01- Clinical Trial Optional)
Sponsor: National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Amount: Application budgets are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
Deadline: Cycle I Feb 5, 2021 5:00pm, Cycle 2 June 5, 2021, Cycle 3 November 5, 2021
Description: The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest is to encourage innovative health services research that can directly and demonstrably contribute to the improvement of minority health and/or the reduction of health disparities at the health care system-level as well as within clinical settings. See additional details in the notice. The scope of the proposed project should determine the project period. The maximum project period is 5 years.

American Academy of Implant Dentistry Foundation (AAIDF) Large Research Grants: AAIDF funds up to four research grants from $10,000 to $25,000. These grants are awarded to faculty, clinicians, or researchers in the field of implant dentistry. The grants are evaluated and funded based on the proposal’s scientific nature and ability to advance the art and science of implant dentistry. This application opened on March 16, 2020. The application deadline for clinical grants is July 15, 2021. The Large Research Grant application can be found here.
Healthy Habits: Timing for Developing Sustainable Healthy Behaviors in Children and Adolescents (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) [if you have an interest in this sector of the population]
Sponsor: National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Nursing Research
Deadline: Standard dates (February 5, June 5, October 5 until January 8, 2021)
Amount: Not limited but needs to reflect scope of project; up to five years.
Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications that employ innovative research to identify mechanisms of influence and/or promote positive sustainable health behavior(s) in children and youth (birth to age 18). Positive health behaviors may include: developing healthy sleep patterns, developing effective self-regulation strategies, adaptive decision-making in risk situations, practicing proper dental hygiene, eating a balanced and nutritious diet, engaging in age-appropriate physical activity and/or participating in healthy relationships. Topics to be addressed in this announcement include: effective, sustainable processes for influencing young people to make healthy behavior choices; identification of the appropriate stage of influence for learning sustainable lifelong health behaviors; the role of technology and new media in promoting healthy behavior; identification of factors that support healthy behavior development in vulnerable populations; and, identification of mechanisms and mediators that are common to the development of a range of habitual health behaviors. Given the many factors involved in developing sustainable health behaviors, applications from multidisciplinary team that include nurse scientists are strongly encouraged. The goal of this FOA is to promote research that identifies and enhances processes that promote sustainable positive behavior or changes social and cultural norms that influence health and future health behaviors. Note: companion FOA for an R21.

Biological Factors Underlying Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Health Disparities (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Sponsor: National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities
Deadline: Standard dates (February 5, June 5, October 5 until September 8, 2021)
Amount: Not limited but needs to reflect scope of project; up to five years.
Description: The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support investigator-initiated studies designed to identify and understand biologic factors (microbial, immune, genetic) that contribute to disparities in dental, oral, and craniofacial disease onset, progression, and persistence. Note: companion FOA for an R21.

Technologies
Advancing Imaging, Device Production, and Clinical Capabilities in Digital Dentistry (R41/R42 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Sponsor: National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research
Deadline: Standard dates (April 5, September 5, January 5 until September 6, 2021)
Amount: Phase I - $150,000 for 1 year and Phase 2 - $1,000,000 for 2 years.
Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages innovation, optimization and customization of core technologies in digital dentistry that improve efficiency of oral healthcare delivery, effectiveness of clinical decision-making and outcomes of treatments associated with dental, oral and craniofacial (DOC) tissues. Among the areas of interest of this FOA are development of digital imaging and image processing capabilities for dental radiology, and the integration of 3-dimensional (3D) additive manufacturing (e.g., 3D printing) with imaging tools. This FOA also supports efforts to develop, integrate, adapt, optimize, and validate new and existing dental materials designed for additive manufacturing approaches in the repair, replacement and restoration of DOC tissues. Note: This also has a companion FOA for an R41/R42.
