Grant Opportunity Analysis
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) plans to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aimed at enhancing the understanding of the neurological effects associated with infection-related chronic illnesses, including conditions like Neuro-PASC, post-treatment Lyme disease, and ME/CFS. This initiative seeks applications that explore the neuropsychiatric manifestations of these illnesses, with a particular interest in projects that may identify common mechanisms across multiple conditions, although single-condition studies are also welcome. The anticipated funding amount for this grant is up to $500,000, with the NOFO expected to be published in Fall 2024 and applications due in Winter 2025. Interested applicants should prepare to collaborate and develop responsive projects, as the estimated award date is set for December 1, 2025.
