Announcement from NIH: New Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) which will support a consortium to phenotype 0-2 year old children with severe viral lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) with follow up until pre-school age for pulmonary sequelae. The Notice of Intent to Publish is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop responsive projects. NHLBI intends to utilize the paired activity codes U24 to fund the Data and Analytics Co-ordinating Center (DACC) and the linked UG3/UH3 (Phased award with built-in milestones for transition) to fund one Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) and Biorepository along with four Clinical Centers (CCs). The anticipated project period of both awards is TBD, with a likely budget of up to $7.3 million in total costs to support the DACC (U24), up to $15 million in total costs to fund the CCC and Biorepository (UG3/UH3), and up to $9.3 million in total costs to support each of the four CCs.
Further details regarding these funding opportunities can be found at:
Please feel free to contact Dr. Marrah Lachowicz-Scroggins, PhD at marrah.lachowicz-scroggins@nih.gov with any remaining questions.

Fall 2025 Clinical Research Course – Save the Date!
The Clinical Research Course is PALISI’s one-day “boot camp” for early-career clinician-scientists. Through a blend of high-yield lectures and hands-on, small-group workshops, the course equips junior investigators with practical tools to carve out a research niche in pediatric critical care, secure funding, excel in multi-center collaborations, and communicate science with impact.
This year’s program, scheduled for Monday, September 8 in Montreal, will feature 25 nationally recognized faculty members whose diverse expertise spans basic, translational, and clinical research arenas.
Registration is open now. Please share this opportunity with interested fellows and junior faculty so they can reserve a spot as soon as it becomes available. Questions? Please contact course directors Brad Lindell (LindellR@chop.edu) and Lee Polikoff (Lee.Polikoff@brownhealth.org). The Independent Clinician-Scientist track will close on September 1st at 5:00 PM. All late registrants will be placed in the Collaborative Clinician-Researcher track.

Research Opportunity - Nutrition in Severe TBI Site Solicitation
We are looking for sites willing to consider participating in a multi-centered study to determine if one of three different nutrition strategies will improve outcomes of children with severe traumatic brain injury. We are envisioning a new collaboration between Montana State University, Duke University, the University of Texas Southwestern and a total of 63 clinical sites. We are looking for funding from PCORI. We have already submitted a letter of intent and have been approved to submit a final grant in September. The proposal will be reviewed by the PALISI Scientific Committee. We currently have ~50 sites who are interested in participating but are looking for additional sites. If you are interested in participating, please contact Dr. Michael
Bell at Michael.Bell@UTSouthwestern.edu
Foundation Funding Opportunities
The Pathways to Independence SIG held a discussion on foundation funding at the PALISI meeting in Santa Fe, NM, on April 1st. Here is their summary – thank you to this team, led by Erin Carlton, Anoop Bhalla, and Liz Killien, for completing this work and requesting we share it with our membership!
General Points to Consider
Shorter timeline to complete and require specific deliverables required for these types of grants. Most want immediate clinical impact.
Can use for equipment or to fund gathering preliminary data for research program
Good opportunity to get peer review
Need to write these differently, discuss with your foundation liaison at your institution. Sell the story of your research.
Needs to be supported by division chief. Often limited/no indirects and salary support.
Overdeliver and they may seek you out for additional research
Develop a 1-page summary of research that can be handed out by your philanthropy department
With an associated 4-5 page document that goes into more details about each component of your research you need funded.
Partner with your foundations/philanthropy team
Look to your institution’s office of research/OVPR for external grant opportunities
