CCMBM is pleased to announce the CCMBM Fall 2023 Junior Investigator Travel Award, which is intended to support the travel of trainees to develop expertise, network, or acquire skills in a field at a scientific conference that the applicants may otherwise be unable to attend. The award is particularly designed to encourage travel to a conference where the trainee may not be presenting an abstract, but where interactions with other attendees and participation in conference activities can serve as a springboard for trainees to transition to the next stages in their scientific careers.
June 9, 10:00-11:00am; Virtual Event
Investigators can present their clinical research grants or data and receive feedback and informal consultation from peers and senior investigators. Please contact Lucy Wu for more information or if you'd like to present your research at an upcoming meeting.

Starting in January of 2023, NIH will be implementing a new Data Management and Sharing Policy. This policy will require all NIH researchers to prospectively plan for how their scientific data will be preserved and shared through submission of a Data Management and Sharing Plan. This session will give an overview of data management plans (DMPs), dive deep into the new NIH requirements, and share local resources and tools to help you work reproducible data sharing into your research workflow.

FUNDING & OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
The first Open ARPA-H Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) has been announced and is accepting innovative high-impact biomedical and health research proposals. The BAA seeks funding proposals for research aiming to improve health outcomes across patient populations, communities, diseases, and health conditions. Proposals should investigate unconventional approaches, and challenge accepted assumptions to enable leaps forward in science, technology, systems, or related capabilities. ARPA-H also encourages concepts to advance the objectives of President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot, as well as more disease-agnostic approaches. View the Open BAA here.

Prior to submitting an abstract, proposers are strongly encouraged to contact the ARPA-H BAA technical point of contact for their research topic/subtopic of interest. Abstracts must be submitted electronically to https://ecps.nih.gov.
The FY23 Defense Appropriations Act is anticipated to provide funding for the JWMRP to augment and accelerate progress toward critical Department of Defense (DOD) medical capability gaps and requirements through the continuation of research and development initiatives that were previously supported by DOD core and/or DOD congressionally directed funding and that are close to achieving their objectives and yielding a benefit to military medicine. Funds shall be awarded following a review of military medical research and development gaps, as well as unfinanced medical requirements of the Services. The managing agent for the anticipated funding opportunities is the CDMRP at the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC).

Pre-application and application deadlines are forthcoming. Learn more here.
