Important NIH Update: New Application Structure for International Collaborations (NOT-OD-25-155)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced significant changes to the application and award structure for grants involving international collaborations (NOT-OD-25-155). NIH published an article on Sept. 18, 2025, stating that “effective for due dates on or after Jan. 25, 2026, competing applications must be in response to a funding opportunity using a new grant type when requesting NIH funding for one or more foreign components.”

NIH is developing additional resources, FAQs, and training materials for these new activity codes. Sponsored Projects will distribute updates as they become available.

Please reach out to Paul Lekutai at plekutai@uci.edu or Jeff Warner at warnerj@uci.edu if you have any questions. 
 
 
Sign up for the Office of Research Listserv
To keep up with the latest updates from the Office of Research amid all the federal funding changes, be sure to subscribe to the CG-News listserv. Sign up by sending a blank email to cg-news+subscribe@uci.edu.
 
 
Federal Communications
Due to shifts in the federal agency funding landscape, do not sign any certifications or acknowledgments, complete any surveys, or respond regarding grant compliance, change in abstract or scope of work, or project activities. Instead, forward such communications to Jeff Warner, Senior Director, Sponsored Projects Administration. Authorized Organizational Representatives (AORs) in the Office of Research will handle these matters. If you have trouble getting in touch with your Sponsored Programs offices/Contracts and Grants office, contact Nancy Lewis, Associate Vice Chancellor for Research Administration. Learn more about the impact of federal executive orders and directives on federal grants and contracts.    

For other questions or concerns, contact Paul Lekutai, Director, Federal and Non-Federal Sponsored Projects, or Jeff Warner.

NIH Resources
New Tool to Explore NIH Grant Opportunities
Familiarize yourself with the new Explore NIH Grant Opportunities tool. Use its NIH-specific filters, sort, and advanced search options to help you quickly identify funding opportunities posted on Grants.gov. Starting in October 2025, Grants.gov is the single official source for NIH notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs). NIH will no longer post NOFOs in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Guide will continue as your primary source for policy and informational notices.

Highlighted Topics
Consider NIH’s centralized list of highlighted topics for your next investigator-initiated grant application. Each topic represents a selected research priority area within one or more NIH Institutes, Centers or Offices (ICOs) that may or may not have dedicated funding. Check the list regularly as new topics are added in the coming months and beyond. Read more about highlighted topics in the August 2025 NIH Extramural Nexus article.

In addition, the trainees will be provided with educational resources to provide the foundational knowledge required for clinical trial administration.

Eligibility:
  • Interest in serving as a principal investigator on clinical trials
  • Any faculty appointment in the School of Medicine with an active clinical practice
  • Commitment from department chair or division chief to dedicate 10% FTE to clinical trial activities
  • Commitment from a senior investigator already engaged in clinical trials to serve as a mentor and support the mentee in developing an independent clinical trial portfolio (incentive will be provided to the senior investigator for their commitment)

Visit the CTTP website to learn more and apply.

Deadline: Monday, Nov. 10, 2025

Good News!
 
Kei Igarashi, PhD (Anatomy & Neurobiology), received an NIH R01 titled, “Circuit vulnerability of the lateral and medial entorhinal cortices in tauopathy models of Alzheimer's disease.” No treatment currently exists for Alzheimer’s-induced impairments of memory formation, a devastating symptom contributing to the massive toll of the disease. This project will investigate vulnerable neuronal types to tauopathy using tauopathy mouse models. The project is expected to yield advances towards the development of therapeutics to rescue memory function in AD.

ICTS Translational Science Pilot Studies Award
The UC Irvine Institute for Clinical and Translational Science (ICTS) is pleased to announce a new call for pilot applications for the ICTS Translational Science Pilot Studies Award Program. One-year awards in the amount of $40,000 will be conferred in this round. The funding period is from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.

The ICTS Translational Science Pilot Studies Awards are intended to provide investigators with support to engage in proof-of-concept or preliminary research that addresses a common roadblock or bottleneck in translational research. Projects are expected to inform a subsequent application for extramural funding to extend the findings, which should be generalizable across multiple diseases and lead to improved efficiency or effectiveness of future translational research.

To be eligible to apply for Pilot Studies Awards, the Principal Investigator or co-Investigator MUST attend a workshop and be an ICTS Member.
