Title: Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Effects of smoking and vaping on the risk and outcome of COVID-19 infection
Sponsor: National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
Deadline: Applications accepted until September 8, 2024
Submissions: Submit applications for this initiative using one of the following funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) or any reissues of these announcements through the expiration date of this notice:
PA-20-183 - NIH Research Project Grant (Parent R01 Clinical Trial Required)
PA-20-200 - NIH Small Research Grant Program (Parent R03 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
PA-20-195 - NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (Parent R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Description: The purpose of this notice is to communicate NIDA’s interest in supporting research on the effects of smoking or vaping tobacco or marijuana on the risk of acquiring COVID-19 and the clinical course of the infection. SARS-CoV-2 attaches to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) receptor, abundant in cardiac, lung, renal, liver and vascular organs, triggering massive cytokine responses. Recent studies suggest possible pathogenic roles between nicotine and angiotensin-2 receptors, investigations which are critical for understanding the multisystem pathogenesis of COVID-19, in which bradykinins and pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines play significant roles. Thus, studying the medical consequences of smoking and vaping in most vulnerable populations is of scientific relevance, especially in the elderly; in individuals with diabetes mellitus, hypertension or obesity; in individuals with chronic diseases of organs and systems rich in ACE-2 receptors; and in SUD and HIV populations. Research Objectives: NIDA is interested in receiving research applications focusing on individuals who smoke or vape either marijuana and/or tobacco to determine: 1) the risk of contracting a COVID-19 infection, 2) the effects on asymptomatic COVID-19 infected persons, and 3) the course of the COVID-19 infection.

Title: Archaeology and Archaeometry Doctoral Dissertation Research (DDRI)
Sponsor: National Science Foundation
Deadline: Applications Accepted Anytime
Amount: The DDRI competition provides up to $20,000 (+ university indirect/overhead costs).
Description: The goal of the Archaeology Program is to fund research which furthers anthropologically relevant archaeological knowledge. In accordance with the National Science Foundation’s mission such research has the potential to provide fundamental scientific insight. While within the broad range of “archaeology” the focus is on projects judged to be significant from an anthropological perspective, the Program sets no priorities based on time period, geographic region or specific research topic. For a detailed description of the Archaeology Program DDRI competition, see Solicitation NSF 15-554 which can be accessed via the Archaeology DDRI web site. It contains additional rules not presented in this synopsis. The DDRI competition provides up to $20,000 (+ university indirect/overhead costs) to permit graduate students enrolled in US universities to conduct dissertation research. The student need not be a US citizen or national. While the student writes the proposal and conducts/supervises the research, the dissertation advisor serves as the Principal Investigator and the student is listed as the Co-PI. Salary and normal living expenses are not eligible costs but per diem and most other research expenses are allowable. Both field and non-field projects are funded. Proposals may be submitted at any time and applicants are normally informally notified of the likely outcome within three months. Applications are sent for evaluation to six individuals (“ad hoc reviewers”) specifically selected for subject matter expertise. Students are allowed to resubmit one time if their original proposal is declined. Unless Program Officer dispensation is obtained, a student, through their advisor, may submit only two proposals (an original submission and a resubmission if necessary).
