This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support extramural research to investigate and mitigate challenges facing clinical assay development and subsequent analytical validation due to preanalytical variability in tumor tissue biopsies, blood biospecimens utilized as liquid biopsies", or other biospecimens as described in this FOA. Extramural research funded under this FOA may include investigations of preanalytical variability associated with the procurement and study of small biopsies (core biopsies, small excision samples), blood utilized for "liquid biopsies", tissue swabs, tissue secretions, pleural and esophageal aspirates, feces, or bodily fluids like sweat, urine, CSF, breast milk and saliva. Investigator-designed experiments will explore how different biospecimen preanalytical conditions affect emerging and clinically relevant biomarkers quantified by a variety of testing platforms. The results from this research program will improve the understanding of how analytical quantification of clinically relevant biomarkers is affected by variation in biospecimen collection, processing, and storage procedures. The overall goal is to expedite biomarker clinical assay development through evidence-based standardization of biopsy handling practices.

The "Modulating Human Microbiome Function to Enhance Immune Responses Against Cancer" grant aims to fund preliminary research into how the human microbiome affects the body's immune response to cancer, with a focus on how specific microbes or their byproducts can either increase or prevent tumor formation, and how the amount, timing, and duration of beneficial microbes can impact their effectiveness.

This NOFO/RFP solicits applications for 2024-25 regular school year projects to provide supplemental education and support services to eligible migratory children and youth. The MEP offers regular school year programs for migratory children from prekindergarten through high school and out‐of‐school youth. Educational support services fall into the following areas: reading and mathematics; school readiness; high school graduation and services to secondary‐aged youth, including dropouts and out‐of‐school youth; and ancillary and support services. The Illinois Migrant Education Program Service Delivery Plan and the Illinois Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) State Plan set the parameters for local projects. The measurable program outcomes and strategies contained in the Service Delivery Plan are listed in Exhibit A on page 15 of this document. The Service Delivery Plan is updated regularly to reflect changes in federal regulations, migratory population needs, and program evaluation results as part of a cycle of continuous improvement. Funded projects must carry out activities that align with the state Service Delivery Plan to address identified needs of migratory children and youth. The Service Delivery Plan includes broad statements of needs, and local projects document the strengths, interests, and need of the migratory children in their areas to tailor services to the population. All services must be culturally and linguistically appropriate for the migratory student population.
