Other Research Grant Opportunities

In addition to the Research Award and Research Grant opportunities offered by IFFGD, a few other organizations also offer research funding opportunities:

Research Grant Opportunities:


Implementation Research for Multi-morbidity Management in the Context of Non-communicable Diseases in Low- and Middle-Income Countries and US Tribal Populations (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Deadline: 1/7/2026

Funding Opportunity Number (FON): PAR-25-213

Description: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) participating Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs), in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD), invite applications for implementation research that aims to improve the availability of effective, equitable, efficient, integrated, patient-centered, safe, and timely care for people living with multiple long-term conditions (non-communicable disease (NCD) multimorbidity) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and/or within American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations in the United States. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports innovative approaches to identifying, understanding, developing, and implementing strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures into application are encouraged.

Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Deadline: 1/5/2025

Funding Opportunity Number (FON): PAR-22-105

Description: The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies that will identify, develop, and/or test strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, practices, programs, tools, treatments, guidelines, and policies. Studies that promote equitable dissemination and implementation of evidence-based interventions among underrepresented communities are encouraged. Conversely, there is a benefit in understanding circumstances that create a need to stop or reduce ( de-implement ) the use of practices that are ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. Applications that focus on re-implementation of evidence-based health services (e.g. cancer screening) that may have dropped off amidst the ongoing COVID pandemic are encouraged.

Issued by: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) & National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD)

Notice of Special Interest: Women’s Health Research

Deadline: 11/5/2027

Funding Opportunity Number (FON): NOT-OD-24-079

Description: In alignment with the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is issuing this Notice of Special Interest to highlight interest in receiving research applications focused on diseases and health conditions that predominantly affect women (e.g., autoimmune diseases; depressive disorders, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (ADRD), gender-based-violence), present and progress differently in women (e.g., cardiovascular disease; HIV; reproductive aging and its implications), or are female-specific (e.g., uterine fibroids; endometriosis; menopause).

For consideration under this NOSI, applications must have a central focus on the health of women, as demonstrated through specific aims that EITHER explicitly address a particular condition in women OR focus on one of the high priority topics below. In either approach, intersectional and/or multidimensional approaches that consider the health of women in context (e.g., projects accounting for social and structural variables—including race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status , and State and Federal policies— that affect women’s health) are strongly encouraged. For consideration under this NOSI, projects are not required to exclusively focus on women. However, studies that include more than one sex or gender should be designed and powered to make generalizable conclusions about women and enable sex or gender difference comparison.

Issued by:

  • National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
  • National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD)
  • Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH)
