FUNDING
SF Foundation Equity Grants opportunity is now open, https://sff.org/what-we-do/
Framingham Heart Study. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) plans to fund a limited clinic exam cycle in the Generation 3 and Omni 2 Cohorts of the Framingham Heart Study (FHS). The examination is expected to begin on or about January 2, 2022. The exam is intended in part to serve as a platform for additional, independently funded exam components via investigator-initiated grants or other independently funded projects to enrich the exam data collection with additional hypothesis-driven content. The research aims of such exam-related ancillary projects need not be limited to those within the mission of the NHLBI but must be consistent with and/or complement FHS study objectives. This Notice allows interested researchers to develop their research hypotheses and designs; comply with any applicable cohort study-specific and NIH $500K requirements; submit and, if necessary, re-submit their grant applications; receive funding awards; and participate in exam planning and coordination prior to the exam start. THIS IS NOT A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT. NO SOLICITATION FOR GRANT APPLICATIONS WILL BE ISSUED FOR THIS PURPOSE. APPLICANTS MUST USE EXISTING PARENT OR OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS AS APPROPRIATE. For more information, see https://grants.nih.gov/grants/

A report appendix discusses sampling and other methodological issues in depth. The survey was sponsored by JCA (Jewish Communal Appeal) and the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation at Monash University, with David Graham and Andrew Markus serving as principal investigators.
