Timeline
    Description

    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a funding opportunity for research into the biology of bladder cancer, designated as the R01 Clinical Trial Optional grant (FOA Number PAR-22-218). This initiative aims to support investigations that explore the underlying mechanisms of bladder cancer, which poses a significant health challenge due to its high incidence and recurrence rates. The program encourages multidisciplinary applications that focus on both normal bladder biology and the alterations associated with cancer, with a strong emphasis on biological research rather than clinical outcomes in muscular invasive bladder cancer. Interested applicants must submit their proposals by September 7, 2025, and can find additional information and application guidelines at the NIH website or contact the NIH OER Webmaster at OERWebmaster03@od.nih.gov for further inquiries.

    PAR-22-218.html
    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has reissued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for research into the biology of bladder cancer (FOA Number PAR-22-218). This initiative encourages investigations that illuminate the mechanisms underlying bladder cancer, given its significant health burden due to high incidence and recurrence rates. Researchers are invited to apply for R01 Research Project Grants with the option of including clinical trials. Key dates for submission are outlined, with applications due by 5 PM local time on specified dates, with a maximum project period of 5 years. The announced efforts focus on understanding normal bladder biology and the changes associated with cancer, aiming to develop new interventions. Applications must have a strong emphasis on biological research, with a mandate to involve diverse co-investigators to enhance the project's breadth. The FOA specifically discourages applications centered around clinical outcomes in muscular invasive bladder cancer. This funding is particularly critical as bladder cancer remains understudied, despite its prevalence, demanding further exploration to improve patient outcomes and prevention strategies.
