NIEHS - National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

ABSTRACT/PROJECT SUMMARY The International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE) North America Chapter (NAC) was formed in 2019 focusing on promoting research collaborations across North American institutions. Since then, it has grown to host 1055 members from or residing in the United States (US), Bermuda, Canada, and Greenland. Although ISEE Global hosts an annual international meeting, this meeting is held on different continents each year, and visa issues and travel expenses often inhibit attendance by students, trainees, and early career researchers. Therefore, the ISEE-NAC started hosting regional meetings in 2023 to accommodate members with barriers to attending the global meeting when the location is not in America. Given the success of our previous regional meeting, recent changes in institutional funding allocation, and travel restrictions for international students and trainees and federal employees, we have experienced an increased interest in hosting the ISEE-NAC meeting in 2026. This meeting will enhance the mission of ISEE-NAC by providing a venue for environmental health and epidemiologic researchers, practitioners, and government personnel located in North America to network with potential new collaborators. The 2026 ISEE-NAC regional meeting will be held with a theme of “translating environmental health research to inform public health practice” and will be critical to moving our field forward. Meeting planning is already underway. Together with the organizing committee, we are planning a 2.5 day in-person meeting in Baltimore, MD (June 1-4, 2026) at the Johns Hopkins University Homewood Campus. The purpose of this meeting is to: provide networking and professional development opportunities for students, trainees, and early career scientists in environmental epidemiology (Aim 1); illuminate environmental epidemiology research throughout North America (Aim 2); and highlight research related to environmental health and epidemiology intervention, translational research, and community engagement (Aim 3). By focusing on community engagement, translation, and implementation, this meeting supports NIEHS Strategic Plan 2025-2029 items related to solutions-focused research and translation, building collaboration and partnership, and supporting training and workforce development through increasing public access to important environmental health findings.

NIGMS - National Institute of General Medical Sciences

Project Summary. Improving the health of all Americans requires a well-trained and highly skilled biomedical PhD workforce that will ultimately drive scientific breakthroughs and innovation in life-saving medical research. NIH support for comprehensive pre-doctoral training programs is vital because the evolving career landscape for biomedical PhD graduates demands a robust and flexible set of competencies to complement research expertise. In response, PhD programs must increasingly emphasize cultivating transferable competencies and skills that equip students for long-term success across the biomedical professions. These proficiencies are critical for graduate students to flourish in today’s complex work environments, adapt to change, and lead scientific and organizational innovation. To succeed in this dynamic scientific and biomedical climate, PhD students must acquire broad professional skills that extend beyond their technical research expertise including effective scientific communication, grant writing, ethical research conduct, rigor and reproducibility, acquisition of computational tools to manage complex data, resource management, leadership, mentoring, and career guidance. From 2001 to 2025, our previous Loma Linda University (LLU)-NIH Initiative for Maximizing Student Development Program (IMSD) R25 program trained and graduated a large cohort of PhD students that successfully transitioned into the biomedical workforce, becoming experts and leaders in their respective fields. The present application proposes a plan to implement, in a personalized fashion, the new LLU Basic Biomedical Research T32 Program (LLU-BBR T32), which will entail a dynamic, skill-building co-curriculum aimed at enhancing the research and professional proficiency of graduate students enrolled in the LLU School of Medicine’s Integrative Biomedical Graduate Studies (IBGS) PhD program. The IBGS involves two basic biomedical departments, several autonomous centers of biomedical research excellence (COEs), and four modern PhD biomedical tracks. The Specific Aims are: Aim 1: Recruit and support five new PhD students per year in the LLU-BBR T32 program, thereby sustaining a pipeline of highly skilled biomedical researchers. Aim 2: Provide a supportive academic and financial training environment designed to achieve a 90% PhD completion rate within five years, in alignment with national benchmarks for timely degree completion. Aim 3: Enhance the Trainees’ academic and research competencies through an individualized training plan integrating rigorous coursework, research milestones, mentoring, and professional development. T32 Trainees will participate in a Personalized Training Program (PTP) to acquire additional skills and career development starting the summer before the first year of graduate school and lasting during their tenure in the PhD program. The T32 program's proposed enhanced curriculum, training plan, and outcomes will provide Trainees with the necessary professional and scientific skills to increase their likelihood of successful completion of the PhD degree in a timely manner and transition to a biomedical postdoctoral career.

NHLBI - National Heart Lung and Blood Institute

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Food insecurity is a demonstrated risk factor for disordered eating (e.g., loss of control eating) and cardiometabolic health concerns, and Hispanic/Latino adolescents experience disproportionate risk. The proposed project aims to understand the mechanisms underlying the relationships amongst food insecurity, loss of control eating, and cardiometabolic health using longitudinal data capture over a 6-month study period (i.e., data collection at Baseline, 3-months, 6-months) in Hispanic/Latino adolescents. This will occur in conjunction with qualitative interviews with their caregivers (inclusive of Spanish-speaking caregivers) regarding intergenerational factors affecting eating behavior, experiences of community food access, and perceived needs pertaining to food insecurity and healthful eating. Fasting labs to assess each adolescent’s cardiometabolic health indicators will occur at Baseline and 6-month follow-up visits. These data will inform intervention development with planned steps to define modifiable targets of the intervention, adapt evidence-based intervention components tailored to participant needs, and refine intervention content based on focus group feedback (ORBIT Phase Ia and Ib). The career development plan will provide the K23 PI, Dr. Bejarano, with necessary training in community-engaged research strategies with Hispanic/Latino populations, ORBIT intervention development and clinical trials, and prevention science with mentorship from interdisciplinary experts in these areas (Drs. Zeller, Shah, Shomaker, and Jacquez). Upon completion of the K23 career development and research plan with the support of her mentorship team, Dr. Bejarano will be prepared to test an adapted intervention designed to be preventive to disordered eating and cardiometabolic health risk. This study is novel in its assessment of individual experience and qualitative perspectives of food insecurity and loss of control eating in Hispanic/Latino adolescents, in relation to longitudinal cardiometabolic health outcomes, with the inclusion of perspectives of Spanish-speaking caregivers. Dr. Bejarano’s K23 aligns with priorities stated by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to investigate multi- level impacts of food insecurity, develop novel interventions, and sustain a scientific workforce prepared to contribute to the institutes’ missions to promote cardiometabolic health and prevent disease.

Dept of the Army -- Materiel Command

The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) in partnership with NSA s Laboratory for Physical Science (LPS) is soliciting Incubator, Collaboration, and Fellowship research proposals for participation in the LPS Qubit Collaboratory (LQC). The mission of the LQC can be captured in three broad goals: 1) pursue disruptive fundamental research and enabling technologies with a focus on qubit development for quantum computing and other applications (such as sensing); 2) grow deep, collaborative partnerships to tackle the most difficult and relevant long-term problems in quantum information science and technology; and 3) build a quantum workforce of tomorrow through research experiences in government at LPS and at LQC partners. The LQC will offer a mechanism for collaborative research between LPS and academia, industry, FFRDCs, and Government Laboratories to advance foundational and transformative research on challenging problems that have hindered progress in quantum information processing and associated technologies.The goal of this BAA is to seek proposals that bring together expertise from the public and private sectors and their respective research infrastructures to advance solutions that may be best approached as a collaborative team. A Collaboratory is a center without walls, in which the nation s researchers can perform their research without regard to physical location, interacting with colleagues, accessing instrumentation, sharing data and computational resources, [and] accessing information in digital libraries. This BAA introduces LQC Research Thrusts (A.1.1) which are the technical areas of interest which will be updated periodically where partners of the LQC will pursue joint research with LPS through Incubator (A.1.2) and Collaboration (A.1.3) collaborative agreements. The LQC BAA also fulfills the Government s overarching interest--through the proposed research and on-site research experiences--in creating and training a workforce in quantum science and technology, generating pathways of solutions that feed technology development, establishing partnerships, and creating transition opportunities. In further support of training through research, Section A.1.4 calls for Quantum Computing Research (QuaCR) Graduate and Postdoctoral Fellowships for US citizens working in areas of interest.Substantial progress on solving the most difficult and long-term Quantum Information Science &amp; Technology (QIST) research problems that unleash further rapid progress in the field will constitute LQC success. Examples of such research problems include (but are not limited to): limits of performance due to device design, material selection, and/or control, the exploration of alternative qubit physics (e.g., different approaches to qubit encoding or types of gates) and lowering of barriers to such approaches, advances in materials that improve qubit gate fidelity, reducing the overhead of classical components in quantum information technology and optimizing classical performance, and the exploration of applications of quantum technologies to new domains.Three categories of proposals are sought for this BAA:1.Incubator opportunities seek partnership proposals from single investigators and small research groups, including teaching colleges, who may have unique skillsets to contribute toward the pursuit of the research thrusts presented in A.1.1. Incubator proposals may also be the development of concepts into a detailed technical research approach to advance solution of problems of high interest to quantum information science research. Incubator proposals would avail themselves of the collaboration opportunities with LPS research staff and infrastructure made available at the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) to lay the groundwork for concepts that may be suitable for a Collaboratory proposal or responses to other DoD quantum information science research opportunities.2.Collaboratory proposals seek research proposals that bring together a strong significant collaboration--researchers from academia, industry, FFRDCs, and/or Government Laboratories--to pursue long-term projects focused on fundamental problems of interest to qubit development and/or associated science and technology. These collaborative groups will propose to work together in a focused manner for a period of time expected to be one to three years in order to demonstrate a proof-of-concept experiment and/or theory exploration to determine the feasibility of their creative idea.3.QuaCR Research Fellowship proposals seek to support talented U.S. citizen graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the field of quantum information processing (primary interest) and quantum sensing (secondary interest). Applicants with a background from either within or outside QIS are encouraged. The proposed research areas are described in this BAA and must enhance active Quantum Information Science research efforts being supported by the Army Research Office and/or LPS. Research fellows are encouraged to complete an LPS Internship during their graduate career or visit during their postdoctoral fellowship.Funding Opportunity Title: LPS Qubit Collaboratory Special Research Topics Announcement: W911NF21S0009-SPECIALNOTICE-1The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), Army Research Laboratory (ARL)-Army Research Office (ARO) is looking for proposed research and development solutions under the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) W911NF21S0009-2 for Basic and Applied Scientific Research in Quantum Computing.
