The NIH Common Fund Transformative Health Disparities (THD) Program supports innovative research projects to prevent, reduce, or eliminate health disparities and advance health equity. In this webinar, lead researchers from three THD awards presented highlights and goals from their research projects, including intervention progress, community engagement activities, promising practices, and lessons learned. Following their presentations, the researchers participated in a panel discussion highlighting progress and barriers to addressing social determinants of health, reducing health disparities, and advancing health equity within communities across the nation.

Part of the High-Risk, High-Reward Research program, the Early Independence Award supports promising, newly graduated scientists with the intellect, scientific creativity, drive, and maturity bypass the traditional postdoctoral training period to launch independent research careers.

Part of the High-Risk, High-Reward Research program, the Transformative Research Award supports individuals or teams proposing transformative projects that are inherently risky and untested but have the potential to create or overturn fundamental paradigms and may require very large budgets.

Part of the High-Risk, High-Reward Research program, the New Innovator Award supports early career investigators of exceptional creativity who propose bold and highly innovative research projects with the potential to produce a major impact on broad, important areas relevant to the NIH mission.

Part of the High-Risk, High-Reward Research program, the Pioneer Award supports scientists with outstanding records of creativity pursuing new research directions to develop pioneering approaches to major challenges in biomedical, social science, and behavioral research.

On April 4, the NIH Common Fund's Development and Application of Imaging Technologies for Oculomics (Oculomics) Venture Initiative hosted a Pre-Application Webinar for OTA-24-006: Development and Application of Ophthalmic Imaging Technologies to Advance Our Understanding of Systemic Diseases Research Opportunity Announcement.

The goal of this webinar was to provide an overview of the Oculomics initiative, and to outline the Research Opportunity Announcement (ROA), OTA-24-006. The opportunity is available at: https://go.nih.gov/OculomicsROA

During this session, attendees learned about the NIH Common Fund's Venture Program Oculomics Initiative, the Other Transactions funding mechanism, the ROA application process, and tips to creation of a successful application. Attendees had a chance to ask question to presenters during an open Q&A session. The informational webinar was open to the public. Attendance was not required in order to apply to the Research Opportunity Announcement.

The NIH Common Fund Venture Space recently published a new Research Opportunity Announcement (ROA), OTA-24-008, inviting applications from eligible organizations to establish the Common Fund Systems Biology Data Platform (SysBio) Leveraging the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP). Award(s) made through this announcement will provide technical and administrative coordination and support to enable interoperable use of the data sets and knowledge generated by the different AMP initiatives, potentially in combination with other complementary data sets. For more information about the NIH AMP Program, please visit: https://www.nih.gov/research-training/accelerating-medicines-partnership-amp

On March 18, the Common Fund hosted a Pre-Application Webinar for OTA-24-008: Systems Biology Data Platform Leveraging the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (OT2).
The goal of this webinar was to provide an overview of the SysBio initiative and ROA.

The SysBio ROA can be found on the Common Fund website: https://commonfund.nih.gov/venture/sysbio/fundingopportunities

The goal of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First) is to help researchers uncover new insights into the biology of childhood cancer and structural birth defects, including the discovery of shared genetic pathways between these disorders. Kids First is achieving this goal through two initiatives: 1) identifying children with childhood cancer and structural birth defects and their families for whole genome sequencing; and 2) developing the Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource-- a large-scale database of clinical and genetic data from patients and families directly affected by with childhood cancers and structural birth defects. The Kids First program continues to make interoperable data and unique data analysis tools available to investigators for concurrent study, and to engage the research community using these resources in activities such as integration, curation, data harmonization and workflow development which further increase the value of Kids First data resources. The research supported by Kids First is poised to shift the scientific landscape for patients and patient families who are experiencing childhood cancer and structural birth defects.
