The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support the development of Clinical Outcome Assessments (COA) for Substance Use Disorders (SUD). The COA development plan is expected to progress into the FDA drug development tool qualification program. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) utilizes the UG3/UH3Phased Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement grant mechanism that includes two phases. The applications responding to this NOFO should contain a COA development plan that will cover both UG3 and UH3 phases. In the first 2-year UG3 phasethe project must have a set of operational milestones to be completed by the end of this period. Once NIDA program has evaluated the progress of the UG3 phase and determined that the UG3 phase has been successfully completed, it transitions to the UH3 phase to be funded for three additional years.The goal of this NOFO is to expand the armamentarium of COA that are FDA qualified as drug development tool (DDT) in the context of use (COI) of a SUD. Achieving this goal will greatly facilitate the development of treatments for SUDs. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material.

HIV infection and substance use are comorbid conditions that bidirectionally and synergistically influence the deleterious outcomes in people who suffer from substance use disorders (SUD). The persistence and transcriptional reactivation of HIV lead to the development of neuropathological complications. Strategies to address viral latency include silencing of HIV transcription and reactivation and clearance. The goal of this initiative is to support research aimed at (1) identification of targets and pathways by which transcriptional activity of HIV can be suppressed in HIV reservoirs including the CNS in people with SUD, and (2) application of emerging small molecule drug discovery approaches to identify novel compounds that can be utilized as pharmacological probes and as drugs to suppress HIV transcription in people with HIV-SUD comorbidity.

The program specifically focuses on under-resourced communities, including rural areas, high-poverty regions, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) groups, and individuals with disabilities. This targeted approach seeks to ensure that state support reaches a broader and more equitable demographic of Illinois communities. The initiative's core aims include analyzing the demographic distribution of past awards, engaging constituents for feedback on their needs and experiences, identifying areas for improvement in the IACA's funding approach regarding equity, and recommending actionable steps to achieve greater grant-making equity. These objectives are designed to build an evidence base that can be used to advocate for the resources necessary to expand state support to a wider array of Illinois communities. Expected outcomes and measurable results revolve around a more equitable distribution of arts funding and increased access to arts programming for under-resourced communities. The IACA anticipates that by addressing equity strengths and weaknesses and implementing recommended actions, they will successfully reach more diverse communities. Allowable expenses cover a wide range of operational costs, from artist fees and salaries to facilities, supplies, technology, marketing, and general administrative overhead, ensuring that organizations can effectively implement their programs and achieve their community impact goals.

The William Penn Foundation is offering Climate Resilience Planning Grants to support community-driven, place-based climate resilience plans. This initiative aligns with the foundation's broader mission to foster a sustainable and vibrant future by addressing critical environmental challenges. By focusing on planning efforts, the foundation aims to empower communities to proactively adapt to the impacts of climate change, thereby strengthening their long-term resilience and well-being. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are residents living in census tracts designated as overburdened and underserved by the Council on Environmental Quality’s Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, located within the cities of Philadelphia or Camden. The impact goal is to advance equitable climate resilience planning, ensuring that vulnerable communities are at the forefront of developing solutions that address their specific needs and vulnerabilities. The foundation seeks to support plans that will primarily serve these populations, promoting environmental justice and fostering a more equitable distribution of resources and protective measures against climate impacts. The program prioritizes projects occurring in Philadelphia or Camden, with a particular interest in plans that will serve overburdened and underserved communities. While organizations proposing projects in partnership with others will be considered on their individual merits, the most competitive proposals are expected to demonstrate robust partnerships that leverage complementary strengths, resources, and expertise. This focus on collaboration underscores the foundation's strategic priority of fostering collective action to tackle complex environmental issues effectively. Expected outcomes include the development of comprehensive, community-driven climate resilience plans that are tailored to the unique contexts of Philadelphia and Camden. Measurable results could include the creation of actionable strategies for climate adaptation, increased community engagement in resilience planning, and the establishment of strong, collaborative networks among organizations working on climate issues. The foundation's theory of change likely posits that by investing in robust planning and fostering partnerships, communities will be better equipped to implement effective resilience strategies, ultimately leading to a more climate-resilient region and improved quality of life for its residents.
