NLM wishes to accelerate the availability of and access to secure, complete data sets and computational models that can serve as the basis of transformative biomedical discoveries by improving the speed and scope of the curation processes.NLM wishes to accelerate the availability of and access to secure, complete data sets and computational models that can serve as the basis of transformative biomedical discoveries by improving the speed and scope of the curation processes. This Funding Opportunity Announcement is focused on automating curation of biomedical digital assets in support of Goal 1. Objective 1.1 of the NLM Strategic Plan 2017-2027: An important research direction will develop strategies for curation at scale." The ability to re-use, integrate or add to existing data sets will open new avenues of opportunity and can speed discoveries that will improve health. But this promise will go unrealized without advances in automated and autonomous curation. Objective 1.2: Automatic, autonomous curation strategies will allow for operational efficiency as well as accelerate the speed of discovery Digital curation involves characterizing, annotating, managing, and preserving digital assets such as research data sets, computational and other types of models, reusable visualization tools, and other digital assets. Proficient curation of digital assets maximizes their reuse potential, mitigates risk of obsolescence, reduces the likelihood that their long-term value will diminish or be lost, and helps assure reproducibility of research. The evolving digital ecosystem supports data-driven biomedical discovery by providing access to large quantities of biomedical and health-related data, to computational models and to open source software and code. The scope, scale and heterogeneity of digital data alone are vast, ranging from genome sequences to biomedical images, from observational health findings to environmental measurements, from family histories to sensor readings from personal trackers. As the amount and complexity of digital assets continue to grow, manual curation will not scale to meet future needs. At the same time, as researchers make research data sets, models and other tools available for new uses or re-analysis, it is important to minimize duplication and simplify the process of finding, managing, visualizing and mining all types of digital assets. To help researchers who want to find, interoperate and use these data sources to make new discoveries, and to share their findings so others can build upon them, the purpose of this funding announcement is to encourage applications for new approaches that (1) increase the speed and assure quality and security of storage techniques, retrieval strategies, annotation methods, data standards, visualization tools and other advanced data management approaches and (2) improve our ability to make biomedical data and other digital research assets findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR).

This grant provides funding for organizations to implement home visits by nurses for new and expectant parents in Ohio, helping them with parenting support, health assessments, and community resource referrals.

Research shows that HIV care must increasingly address the management of individuals with multiple coexisting diseases (p.357) such as infectious and chronic diseases, mental health and behavioral disorders, food insecurity, substance use, etc. Since individual diseases do not exist in a vacuum, neither does the management, or burden of disease on community well-being. In response, syndemic theory and approaches are used to (1) increase the focus on co-occurring and interacting disease and social conditions that exacerbate health inequities, and (2) advance the evidence base for effective approaches to assess, monitor, and intervene with respect to these co-occurring and interacting factors for optimal outcomes in HIV treatment and care. The purpose of this project is to design, implement, and evaluate innovative comprehensive interventions part of an integrated treatment plan , using a syndemic approach to address co-occurring and interacting conditions of HIV, substance use disorder, intimate partner violence (IPV), and other social determinants of health that impact health outcomes of racial and ethnic minorities with HIV.

The purpose of the Pathway to Independence Award in Tobacco Regulatory Research (K99/R00) is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented independent investigators conducting research that will inform the development and evaluation of regulations on tobacco product manufacturing, distribution, and marketing. This program is designed to facilitate a timely transition of outstanding postdoctoral researchers with a research and/or clinical doctorate degree from mentored, postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions

The purpose of this initiative is to: 1.Support mining of SCORCH data to identify cell types, transcripts, enhancers, or transcriptional networks that play a role in HIV/ART or SUD molecular responses 2.Support functional validation studies (e.g. epigenomic or transcriptomic manipulation, high throughput secondary screening, etc.) to confirm or deny a biological role for data-mined cell types, transcripts, enhancers, or transcriptional networks in HIV/ART or SUD molecular responses 3.Provide foundational knowledge for understanding SUD and/or HIV/ART molecular mechanisms and to generate validated targets that could serve as a foundation for new SUD or HIV therapeutics (including NeuroHIV cognitive phenotypes)

The purpose of this supplemental funding is to strengthen organizational capacity to respond to the changing health care landscape and increase access to high quality family-centered HIV primary health care services for low income women, infants, children and youth (WICY) with HIV. The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part D funds outpatient family-centered primary and specialty medical care for low-income women, infants, children, and youth with HIV. Part D funding also may be used to provide support services to people with HIV and their affected family members. The Enhancing HIV Care of Women, Infants, Children and Youth: Building Capacity through Communities of Practice program is a platform for RWHAP Part D recipients to increase the delivery of evidence-based interventions, evidence-informed interventions, and emerging interventions that enhance client outcomes; increase the skill level of the HIV workforce providing care and treatment to women, infants, children, and youth; and involve partner collaboration for dissemination of best practices. During the four-year initiative, which began in fiscal year (FY) 2023, the Communities of Practice are focusing on three areas: ■ Pre-conception counseling, including sexual health (2023–2024) ■ Trauma-informed care (2024–2025) ■ The transition from youth services to adult care (2025–2026)

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), intends to publish a reissue Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for innovative, interactive research to answer significant scientific questions that are important for the mission of NINDS, via a synergistic collaboration between outstanding scientists who might not otherwise collaborate. The program project grant is designed to support research in which the funding of several interdependent highly meritorious projects as a group offers significant scientific advantages over support of these same projects as individual research grants.. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO is expected to be published in April 2024 with an expected application due dates in May and September 2024. NINDS will not have any receipt dates after September 2024, thus ending the program. This NOFO will utilize the P01 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.
