The purpose of the Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25) is to attract to NIH-relevant research those investigators whose quantitative science and engineering research has thus far not been focused primarily on questions of health and disease. The K25 award will provide support and "protected time" for a period of supervised study and research for productive professionals with quantitative (e.g., mathematics, statistics, economics, computer science, imaging science, informatics, physics, chemistry) and engineering backgrounds to integrate their expertise with NIH-relevant research. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary clinical trial, as part of their research and career development. Applicants not planning an independent clinical trial, or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, must apply to companion FOA.

The Yampa Valley Community Foundation (YVCF) offers Community Grants with a philosophy of trust-based philanthropy, emphasizing transparency, dialogue, mutual learning, and streamlined applications. This approach aligns with their mission to build strong relationships with grantees and partner with local nonprofit organizations to achieve shared community goals. The foundation, in collaboration with the Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation and other granting endowments, provides annual grants of up to $10,000. The primary beneficiaries of these grants are organizations serving Routt and/or Moffat County in Colorado. Organizations operating beyond these two counties must apply for a programmatic grant and demonstrate how the funds will be used exclusively within Routt and/or Moffat County. The impact goal is to strengthen the community by supporting local nonprofits working towards shared objectives, fostering a more collaborative and effective effort in addressing community needs. Grant requests are limited to $10,000 or less, and eligible organizations must have IRS 501(c)(3) status or be fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3). The foundation prioritizes funding projects that contribute to the well-being of the specified counties and align with their non-discrimination policy. Funds are explicitly prohibited for debt reimbursement, retroactive grants, completed projects, religious activities, or political activities (with an exception for nonpartisan voter education). While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed beyond the grant size and geographic focus, the trust-based philanthropy model suggests an emphasis on ongoing dialogue and mutual learning as indicators of success. The foundation's strategic priority is to build strong community partnerships and empower local nonprofits through flexible and accessible funding. Their theory of change appears to be that by fostering trust, streamlining processes, and directly supporting local efforts, they can collectively achieve a stronger, more resilient community in the Yampa Valley.
