Four Federal Funding Records: One Closes 10/15/2026, Three NIH Forecasts
A Defense Health Agency health services research award on brain injury and psychological health closes 10/15/2026. Three NIH forecasts on health disparities, minority institutions and resilience list no close date.
Four federal funding records on Grants.gov cover four areas: health services research on traumatic brain injury and psychological health, a clinical research network to reduce health disparities, research centers in minority institutions, and interdisciplinary networks on resilience [1][2][3][4]. Only one record is posted with a close date. The other three are National Institutes of Health (NIH) records listed as forecasted with no close date [1][2][3][4]. This brief reports what each record states and what it leaves out [1][2][3][4].
Posted now: traumatic brain injury and psychological health
The DoW Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health, Health Services Research Award is funding opportunity HT942526TBIPHRPHSRA. It comes from the Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA), agency code DOD-AMRAA [2]. The record lists its status as posted, an open date of 05/21/2026, a close date of 10/15/2026, and assistance listing 12.420 [2].
The record summarized here gives the title, funder, identifiers and dates. It does not state eligibility, award size, the number of awards or submission requirements [2]. Teams that intend to apply should confirm those terms in the full announcement on the live record [2].
Forecasted: three NIH opportunities
All three NIH records list their status as forecasted and are listed under agency code HHS-NIH11 [1][3][4]. The titles of two of them describe an intent to publish: one is titled a "Notice of Intent to Publish a Forecast" and the other a "Forecast to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement" [1][3]. The title of the third record does not describe its stage [4].
- EmbraceHealth Clinical Research Network to Reduce Health Disparities – Research Sites (FOR-MD-25-008): forecasted, opened 06/27/2025, no close date, assistance listing 93.307 [1].
- Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) (FOR-MD-25-004): forecasted, opened 06/10/2025, no close date, assistance listing 93.307. The title specifies a U54 activity code and "Clinical Trial Optional" [3].
- Interdisciplinary Research Networks to Advance Biomedical Research on Resilience and Health Optimization (RFA-AT-26-001): forecasted, opened 09/23/2025, no close date, assistance listing 93.213 [4].
The two FOR-MD records share assistance listing 93.307 and both concern health disparities or minority institutions, according to their titles [1][3]. The resilience record has a different assistance listing, 93.213, and its identifier begins with RFA rather than FOR, although its status is also forecasted [4].
Who should look closer
The records do not define eligibility. The groups below are inferred from the titles only, as a prompt to read the full notices [1][2][3][4].
- Investigators and administrators working on health services research for traumatic brain injury or psychological health, particularly anyone with an application already underway, given the 10/15/2026 close date [2].
- Clinical research sites and health disparities investigators interested in participating in a research network, since the EmbraceHealth record is framed around research sites [1].
- Research offices at minority institutions and their collaborators, because the RCMI title names research centers in minority institutions. The record itself does not say which institutions qualify [3].
- Interdisciplinary teams in biomedical research on resilience and health optimization, since that record is framed around research networks [4].
Reading the status fields
All three forecast records list open dates in 2025 and no close date [1][3][4]. Their status reflects the records as captured, so grant managers should check each live record for updates before committing planning time [1][3][4]. For the posted award, the date that governs planning is the listed close date, 10/15/2026 [2].
Limitations
This brief draws only on short Grants.gov record summaries. Those summaries list titles, funders, identifiers, status, dates and assistance listings. They do not list eligibility, award amounts, project periods or application requirements [1][2][3][4]. The forecast records give no projected posting date, so the timing of any eventual solicitation cannot be stated from these sources [1][3][4].
