NIH Request for Information (RFI): Strategy for Research in Coronavirus Serology Testing and Serological Sciences
This Notice is a time-sensitive Request for Information (RFI) inviting comments and suggestions on the topic of research approaches and priorities related to SARS-CoV-2 serology. Responses must be received by 11:59 pm (ET) on May 26, 2020.
On April 23, 2020, in response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Congress approved the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, providing $306M to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), working with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and other parts of the NIH “to develop, validate, improve, and implement serological testing and associated technologies.” As a result of this Congressional mandate, the NCI and NIAID are soliciting community input via this RFI on the topic of research priorities for serological research and related technologies to address the immense public health and economic burdens created by COVID-19. Responses are due by

Highlighted Opportunity
Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Systems Initiative (EPiQS) Flexible Funding - Equipement and Rapid Response Grants
Moore Foundation
The goal of flexible funding grants is to drive scientific innovation by enhancing experimental capabilities at leading research institutions and supporting projects with significant potential to create breakthroughs in the field of quantum materials. These grants have two varieties: equipment grants and rapid response grants
- Equipment grants support the development of sophisticated and sometimes one-of-a-kind instrumentation at institutions with active research programs in quantum materials.
- Rapid response grants support projects that are exceptionally timely and have very high potential impact. These projects may include experimental tests of novel important theoretical concepts and innovative, unconventional research endeavors that are unlikely to be supported through traditional funding channels due to their high-risk nature.
