Whitehall Foundation Invites LOIs for Bioscience Research Projects
AMOUNT: up to $225,000/3yrs.
DEADLINE: October 1, 2016 (Letters of Intent)
The Whitehall Foundation assists scholarly research in the life sciences through its research grants and grants-in-aid programs. It is the foundation's policy to support those dynamic areas of basic biological research that are not heavily supported by federal agencies or other foundations with specialized missions. The foundation emphasizes the support of young scientists at the beginning of their careers and productive senior scientists who wish to move into new fields of interest.
1) Research: Research grants of up to $225,000 over three years will be awarded to established scientists of all ages working at accredited institutions in the United States. Grants will not be awarded to investigators who have already received, or expect to receive, substantial support from other sources, even if it is for an unrelated purpose.
2) Grants-in-Aid: One-year grants of up to $30,000 will be awarded to researchers at the assistant professor level who experience difficulty in competing for research funds because they have not yet become firmly established. Grants-in-Aid can also be made to senior scientists.
To be eligible, applicants must hold the position of assistant professor or higher; must hold Principal Investigator status; and be considered an "independent investigator" with his/her own dedicated lab space or with lab space independent of another investigator.
Letters of Intent must be received no later than October 1, 2016. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit complete applications, which must be returned by February 15, 2017.
Lung Cancer Research Foundation Invites Applications for Research Projects
AMOUNT: up to $75,000/2 yrs.
DEADLINE: July 1, 2016
The Lung Cancer Research Foundation’s mission is to improve and save lives by funding groundbreaking research for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and the cure of lung cancer.
To that end, the foundation encourages applications for projects investigating a wide variety of lung cancer research topics from institutions of all sizes — both nationally and internationally. Grants of up to $75,000 over two years will be awarded for projects focused on basic science, translational research, clinical research, supportive care, and/or quality of care/outcomes.
To be eligible, applicants must be junior investigators (e.g. graduate students, medical students, post-doctoral fellows), senior faculty (e.g. assistant/associate/full professors), physicians, and/or nurse researchers.
American Academy of Neurology Institute Invites Applications for 2016 Medical Education Research Training Fellowship
AMOUNT: $65,000
DEADLINE: October 1, 2016
Through the annual fellowship program, AANI will award one-year grants of $65,000 in support of education and research activities at the applicant’s institution or elsewhere. Supplementation of the stipend with other grants or by the fellowship institution is permissible, but fellows may not accept other fellowships, similar awards, or have another source of support for more than 50 percent of their research salary. Only direct costs will be funded by this fellowship.
To be eligible, all applicants must be an AAN member (Active or Junior) embarking on a career in medical education research who has completed a neurology, child neurology, or neuro-developmental disabilities residency or neurology fellowship within the past five years.
APF Seeks Applications to Support Mental Health Projects for the Underserved
AMOUNT: $12,000
DEADLINE: December 31, 2016
The American Psychological Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American Psychological Association, is accepting applications from mental health clinicians for projects designed to address and improve areas of critical need in society and to encourage early-career psychologists to devote their careers to underserved populations.
Through the Pearson Early Career program, the foundation will award a single grant of $12,000 to a clinician in support of an innovative, scientifically based clinical project in the area of serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, incarcerated or homeless individuals, children with serious emotional disturbance, and adults with serious mental illness.
To be eligible, psychologists must hold an Ed.D., Psy.D., or Ph.D. from an accredited university and be no more than seven years postdoctoral.

Funding Opportunity Title: |
Pilot and Feasibility Studies Evaluating the Role of RNA Modifications (the 'epitranscriptome') in Cancer Biology (R21) |
Standard Due Dates: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/how-to-apply-application-guide/due-dates-and-submission-policies/standard-due-dates.htm
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages basic research into the role of RNA chemical modifications and their corresponding writers, readers and erasers in the initiation and progression of cancer. Chemical modifications of RNA bases have been reported to regulate the fate and function of both coding and noncoding RNAs and are emerging as a critical element of post-transcriptional gene regulation. This FOA will utilize the Exploratory/Developmental (R21) mechanism which supports investigation of novel scientific ideas or new model systems, tools or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research.
