Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform almost everything around us. It can change the way humans interact with the world by making the objects around us “smart” — capable of constantly learning, adapting, and providing proactive assistance. The beginnings of this trend can already be seen in the new capabilities coming to smartphones (e.g., speech assistant, camera night mode) as well as the new class of “smart” devices such as smart watches, smart thermostats, and so on. However, the current class of “smart” devices run much of the computation on the cloud or a remote host, costing them transmission power and response latency as well as causing potential privacy concerns. This limits their ability to provide a compelling user experience and realize the true potential of an “AI-everywhere” world.
Facebook invites university faculty to respond to this call for research proposals on enabling execution of AI-based capabilities within the constraints of edge devices.

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites studies employing secondary analysis of existing cohorts, data sets and biorepositories to explore clinically related issues on aging changes influencing health across the lifespan, including diseases and disabilities in older persons. Use of cohorts that are linked to electronic health record systems and/or Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrative data are especially welcome. This FOA will support exploratory analysis of innovative hypotheses in clinical aging research and/or to inform design of future epidemiologic or human intervention studies. Costs related to data harmonization, archival activities and/or assay refinement may be included in the budget, as long as they are pertinent to the specific aims of the proposed project.

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications employing secondary analysis of existing data sets or stored biospecimens, to address clinically related issues on aging changes influencing health across the lifespan, and/or on diseases and disabilities in older persons. Use of cohorts that are linked to electronic health record systems and/or Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrative data are especially welcome. This FOA will support activities addressing specific hypotheses in clinical aging research and/or to inform the design and implementation of future epidemiologic or human intervention studies, or current geriatric practice in maintenance of health, management of disease, and prevention of disability. Existing data sets may also be used to develop and test new statistical analytical approaches. Costs for archiving of data to be made publicly available and those associated with data harmonization or assay refinement/validation may be included in the budget, as long as these activities are pertinent to the proposed secondary analyses.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications to conduct research on the effects of public policies on health-related behaviors and outcomes associated with alcohol, marijuana, and other substances. The purpose of the FOA is to advance understanding of how public policy may serve as a tool for improving public health and welfare through its effects on behaviors and outcomes pertaining to alcohol and other drugs. This FOA is intended to support innovative research to examine policy effects that have the potential to lead to meaningful changes in public health. Research projects that may be supported by this FOA include, but are not necessarily limited to: causal analyses of the effects of one or multiple public policies; evaluations of the effectiveness of specific public policies as tools for improving public health through their effects on alcohol-, marijuana-, and other substance-related behaviors and outcomes; and research to advance methods and measurement used in studying relationships between public policies and alcohol-, marijuana-, and other substance-related behaviors and outcomes. The R03 Small Research Grant Program supports discrete, well-defined projects that realistically can be completed in two years and that require limited levels of funding. This program supports different types of projects including (but not limited to) pilot or feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; and development of research methodology.

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages applications that propose to conduct secondary data analysis and integration of existing datasets and database resources, with the ultimate aim to elucidate the genetic architecture of cancer risk and related outcomes. The goal of this initiative is to address key scientific questions relevant to cancer epidemiology by supporting the analysis of existing genetic or genomic datasets, possibly in combination with environmental, outcomes, behavioral, lifestyle, and molecular profiles data. Applications to this FOA are encouraged to leverage existing genetic data and perform innovative analyses of the existing data. Applications may include new research aims that are being addressed with existing data, new or advanced methods of analyses, or novel combinations and integration of datasets that allow the exploration of important scientific questions in cancer research.

This FOA seeks low-cost, pragmatic research projects that leverage electronic clinical records to conduct studies that address novel health services questions about the treatment of alcohol use disorders (AUD) in routine clinical care settings. Although projects may be supplemented by other data sources, it is expected that major data collection activities will be integrated into, or obtained from, routine clinical records and other electronic resources, such as patient registries, electronic health records, data warehouses, billing data, pharmacy records, and/or administrative records. Projects should address questions with direct relevance for improving clinical care for patients with AUD, while contributing to an understanding of the current utility and remaining barriers to using electronic health records in the conduct of AUD treatment services research.

The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to efficiently use the existing cancer registry infrastructure by augmenting data already collected with additional information needed to understand health disparities among people diagnosed with cancer. Specifically, this FOA will support the study of factors influencing observed health disparities within the framework of population-based cancer registries by the inclusion of data not routinely collected by or linked to the registries. The studies should be hypothesis-driven and multidisciplinary approaches are encouraged. Investigators are encouraged to leverage the data already collected by the registries to investigate the determinates of health disparities. The goal of these analyses will be to understand why disparities in cancer treatment and outcomes persist by identifying factors contributing to disparities and their relative importance.
