National Institutes of Health
The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research seeks to advance its mission by soliciting applications to advance research on the mechanisms of aggressive behavior across species and disciplines, consistent with OBSSR’s Congressional authorization to develop and coordinate research on violent behavior. Aggressive behavior is associated with numerous chronic diseases, especially psychiatric and neurological conditions. Additional scientific resources and capacity are needed to accelerate and enhance research to address this public health challenge through improved mechanistic understanding, prevention, and treatment of aggressive behavior. Priority areas for this NOFO will include: naturalistic and ecologically valid experimental paradigms that can be applied analogously across both animal and human research to bridge disciplinary silos and translational gaps; improved measurement tools to catalyze progress and improve causal inference, rigor, and reproducibility; and cross-species data repositories (e.g., behavioral, brain, genetic, and physiological data) to accelerate research advances to improve human health and well-being. Priority approaches will include: team science to promote innovation and collaboration across levels of analysis, disciplines, and the translational continuum; mentorship and career development to build a robust cohort of investigators; integrated bioethical perspectives; and outreach to and collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and patients to ensure use-inspired research with a strong foundational basis. Applications are not being solicited at this time. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the R24 activity code. Investigators with expertise in neuroscience, psychology, evolutionary biology, behavioral genetics, sociology, criminology, ethics, and other related disciplines are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO. Collaborative teams combining expertise in animal and human research will be encouraged.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA
The purpose of the R01 grant program is to (1) improve understanding of the risks and conditions associated with occupational diseases and injuries, (2) identify and evaluate methods to reduce risks and prevent or minimize exposure to hazardous workplace conditions, and (3) translate scientific findings into practical prevention strategies, interventions, and products that reduce work-related illnesses and injuries. The Research Project Grant (R01) supports a discrete, specified research project in scientific areas that reflect the investigator's expertise and interests and that align with the mission of NIOSH. Applicants must concisely describe the occupational health problem their proposal addresses and explain how the proposed research activities will lead to outputs that help address this problem. Applicants should clearly describe the expected impacts of the proposed research, both during the project period and beyond.

Office of Naval Research
Established in 1985, the Department of War Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program funds U.S. academic research teams to conduct high-impact basic research that addresses future challenges faced by the Department of War. The MURI program specifically supports U.S. university teams investigating complex, DoW-relevant problem sets at the intersection of multiple scientific disciplines. MURI teams bring together world-class faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students - helping to develop a technically advanced, defense-aware scientific workforce and strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base.

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the BJA FY 2026 DNA Capacity Enhancement for Backlog Reduction (CEBR) - Formula Grants Program. This opportunity will support states and units of local government with existing crime laboratories that conduct DNA analysis to process, and/or to increase the capacity to process, more DNA samples for entry into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), thereby helping to reduce the number of forensic DNA and DNA database samples awaiting analysis and/or to prevent a backlog of forensic and database DNA samples.
