1 Foundations - Open Grant Opportunities Sponsor Name of Program Brief Description Opportunity ID The Kentucky Spinal Cord and Head Injury Research Board 8 /1 /2018 The Kentucky Spinal Cord and Head Injury Research Board (the Board) was established by the enactment of House Bill No. 158 during the regular session of the 1994 General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The bill established the Kentucky Spinal Cord and Head Injury Trust (the Trust). Funds from the Trust are allocated by the Board to fund spinal cord and head injury research undertaken at the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville. The Board will allocate these research funds to the universities in such a way as to increase the understanding, facilitate treatment and eventual reversal of the sequelae resulting from spinal cord and head injury trauma. Research proposals that focus on both the acute and chronic phases of spinal cord/brain trauma will be considered. Priority for funding will be given to the areas listed below: 1. In vivo and in vitro studies on naturally occurring phenomena that may promote neuronal growth, encourage the formation of synapses, enhance the production of myelin, restore conduction capabilities, or may otherwise lead toward restoring compromised circuitry in the injured spinal cord or brain. 2. Evaluation of the efficacy of pharmacological agents or other interventions that protect against secondary neuronal injury, improve function in chronic spinal cord and brain injury or that provide insight into the mechanisms causing such damage. 3. Biological characterization of spinal cord/head injury in well-defined animal models and in the human spinal cord/brain, specifically documenting the neuronal systems that are most vulnerable to the functional losses that occur as a result. 4. Development of new and more sensitive approaches for evaluating recovery after injury. 5. Studies that clearly demonstrate direct application to preventing functional neurologic decline, enhancing regeneration, or restoring function following spinal cord/brain injury. Three year awards with a maximum funding level of $100,000 per year (direct plus indirect costs). Indirect costs cannot exceed 10%. No inflationary increase will be provided in years two and three of the grant period. THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR (PI) MUST BE A FULL TIME FACULTY MEMBER AT EITHER THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY OR THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE. 600 Friday, June 22, 2018 Page 1 of 5

2 The Spencer Foundation 8 /1 /2018 Small Research Grants Program American Hearing Research Foundation 8 /15/2018 AHRF Regular Grants The Small Research Grants program is intended to support education research projects with budgets of $50,000 or less. In keeping with the Spencer Foundation s mission, this program aims to fund academic work that will contribute to the improvement of education, broadly conceived. Teaching, Learning, and Instructional Resources: Studies in this area would be those that will lead to better understanding and improvements in the intellectual, material, and organizational resources that contribute to successful teaching and learning. They may investigate questions that are grounded directly in teaching practice, as well as research about important aspects of child and adult learning processes and contexts that hold promise for guiding informed policymaking. Small Research Grant proposals are accepted 4 times per year. The next deadline is at 4:00pm CST, February 1, The following deadlines will fall on May 1, 2017, August 1, 2017 and November 1, The Foundation typically funds six (6) to eight (8) regular research grants that investigate various aspects of hearing and balance disorders related to the inner ear. Grants are for either $20,000 or $40,000 for one (1) year of research. Priority is given to investigators early in their careers who need seed funds to generate results and data that can be used to support applications for larger grants (i.e., NIH grants) in the future. Grant funds may only be used for direct costs, including salaries of technical and supporting staff, equipment related to the research, and supplies. Funding may not be used for salary of the principal investigator, travel or conference attendance, or educational costs American Psychological Foundation 10/1 / Lizette Peterson Homer Memorial Injury Research Grant Research topics: Proposals should relate to the hearing or balance functions of the ear. Both basic and clinical studies may be proposed that investigate aspects of the auditory and vestibular systems including but not limited to genetics, neurotology, anatomy, auditory processing, molecular and cellular biology, therapeutic studies, and investigations of current or experimental devices (i.e., cochlear implants). The Lizette Peterson Homer Memorial Injury Research Grant supports research into psychological and behavioral aspects of the prevention of injuries in children and adolescents as reflected in the activities and interests within pediatric psychology of the late Lizette Peterson-Homer and her commitment to improving the status of children in the face of the most significant threats to their health and development. IRB approval must be received from host institution before funding can be awarded if human participants are involved. This grant is open to students and faculty to support research related to the prevention of injuries in children and adolescents. Funding is available up to $5,000 and is sponsored jointly by the American Psychological Foundation and APA Div Friday, June 22, 2018 Page 2 of 5

3 The Spencer Foundation 10/2 /2018 Lyle Spencer Research Awards program. The Lyle Spencer Research Awards Program is intended to support intellectually ambitious research oriented to improving the practice of education, independent of any particular reform agendas or methodological strictures. It supports projects with budgets up to $1 million. In this program, we envision a large-minded conception of educational practice that encompasses formal and informal learning as well as the institutional, policy, and normative frameworks that influence and are influenced by learning and developmental processes. Moreover, we recognize learning occurs across settings from the classroom to the workplace and even onto the playing field any of which may, in the right circumstance, provide the basis for rewarding study. Grants of up to $1 million will be awarded NATA Research & Education Foundation New Investigator Grant 11/30/2018 LOIs must be received no later than October 2, Upon review selected applicants will be invited to submit a brief essay explaining the aims, context, and rationale for the proposed project. Eligibility Requirements: Principal Investigator (PI) must be a current NATA member and BOC certified athletic trainer in good standing. PI has not received a single research/project grant greater than $50,000 (total costs) (PI or Co-PI) (If you have questions about your eligibility then contact the chair of the research committee) PI must hold the academic rank no higher than assistant professor at the time of original submission or re-submission. 258 Grant Funding Limit: $20,000 total direct costs + indirect costs NATA Research & Education Foundation 11/30/2018 General Grant Program The NATA Foundation provides funds for exceptional research projects submitted to the General Grant Program. Applications to this program are solicited through a pre-proposal process for both the General Grant Program and in response to any active Request for Proposals (RFP). Grant awards in the General Grant Program for single and multi-year projects are limited to a maximum of $50,000 in direct costs over no more than three years. The NATA Foundation will continue to allow indirect costs up to 15% of the total direct costs. 256 Friday, June 22, 2018 Page 3 of 5

4 American Speech-Language-Hearing Association 12/1 /2018 Lessons for Success 3-day grantwriting bootcamp Lessons for Success (LfS) aims to provide intensive training to a promising group of early career scientists in the areas of (a) grant preparation and funding opportunities, (b) development and management of a successful program of research, and (c) advancement of professional competencies. With participants completing assignments prior to and during the conference, this grant-writing "boot camp" provides invaluable advice and guidance from senior faculty with strong histories of research funding American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine 1 /1 /2019 AOSSM/Sanofi Osteoarthritis Grant They select 30 participants each year to attend a 3-day grantwriting bootcamp. AOSSM, in partnership with Sanofi, offers a research grant program to fund investigations related to early osteoarthritis (OA) and/or prevention of OA progression. This grant reflects the growing recognition of the importance of osteoarthritis within sports medicine and orthopaedics. The grant will be for $50,000 to support either a clinical research study or a lab/basic science project. Proposed studies need not relate specifically to sports injuries and should also have broad applicability to OA in the general population. Projects involving viscosupplementation will not be considered American Heart Association 2 /14/2019 Grant-in-Aid Applications will be reviewed for their potential impact on the field, the quality of study approach, and ability of investigator and site(s) to conduct and complete the proposed research. The Principal Investigator or at least one co-investigator on all applications must be an AOSSM member who has completed his or her training. It is expected that grantees will submit the results from their funded study to AOSSM for podium presentation and to AJSM for publication.
