Research and Innovation

Market-aligned interventions for cleaner production in the textiles value chain, in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa

Implementation-focused projects that prove the viability of, or pilot, solutions in commercial value chains, that address problematic practices in this sector, including but not limited to excessive consumption of raw materials, water, and energy; and generation and poor management of liquid effluents and solid waste. Projects should bring together the following parties:

Leakey Foundation Grants related to human origins

The Leakey Foundation exclusively funds research related to human origins. Priority of funding is commonly given to exploratory phases of promising new research projects that meet the stated purpose of the Foundation. The majority of The Leakey Foundation’s Research Grants awarded to doctoral students are in the $3,000-$15,000 range with a funding limit of $20,000. Larger grants given to senior scientists and post-doctoral researchers may be funded up to $30,000.

Behavioral & Integrative Treatment Development Program (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage research grant applications on the development and testing of behavioral and integrative treatments for drug and alcohol use, abuse, and dependence. This FOA reaffirms the continued commitment of NIDA to major programs of research on behavioral and integrative treatments. The term "behavioral treatments" is used here in a broad sense and includes but is not limited to psychotherapies, cognitive, relapse prevention, remediative, rehabilitative, skills training, counseling, family, and exercise therapies.

NIDCR Small Research Grants for Oral Health Data Analysis and Statistical Methodology Development (R03 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The goal of this funding opportunity announcement is to support meritorious research projects that involve secondary data analyses of existing oral or craniofacial database resources, or that develop needed statistical methodology for analyzing existing dental, oral or craniofacial databases.

Development of Innovative Informatics Methods and Algorithms for Cancer Research and Management (R21 Clinical Trial Optional)

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite exploratory/developmental research grant applications (R21) for innovative informatics methods and algorithms to improve the acquisition, analysis, visualization, or interpretation of data across the cancer research continuum including cancer biology, cancer treatment and diagnosis, early cancer detection, risk assessment and prevention, cancer control and epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities.

Development Innovation Ventures

Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) provides grant funding to innovators and researchers to test new ideas, take strategic risks, build evidence of what works, and advance the best solutions.

DIV’s tiered-funding model embraces risk at early stages and mitigates risk at later stages, ensuring that funding is targeted to the most cost-effective innovations that can improve people’s lives.DIV takes a broad approach to innovation; innovations can be business models, products, behavioral interventions, applied research, or replications of proven innovations in novel environments. 

Biomarker Signatures of TB Infection in Young Children With and Without HIV

The goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to advance research to discover and validate novel biomarkers of TB infection and subsequent risk of progression to TB disease in young children with and without HIV.

National Eye Institute Clinical Research Study Planning Grant

The NEI supports large-scale clinical vision research projects, including randomized clinical trials and epidemiologic studies on eye/vision conditions. At the time of submission, applications requesting support for these activities are expected to provide detailed information regarding the study rationale, design, analytic techniques, protocols and procedures, facilities and environment, organizational structure, and collaborative arrangements. This information is best conveyed in a Manual of Procedures (MOP), the development of which represents a costly and time-consuming activity.

Better Methods, Better Research

Apply for funding to improve the methods used by others in biomedical and health research. You must be a researcher based at an organisation eligible for UKRI funding. Projects are sought in at least one of the following categories:

  • Methodology research
  • Improving methods used
  • Improving research outputs

These should be focused around the following research themes:
