Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) that were developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) have significant protective effects for cardiac and renal diseases for people with and without diabetes. However, SGLT2i are not currently approved for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and there is an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) for this population. Despite this concern, these drugs are increasingly being prescribed off-label for people with T1D. Continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) is a rapidly evolving technology that could be utilized clinically to prevent DKA by an early warning of elevations in ketone levels.The purpose of this NOFO is to solicit applications for studies that will develop and test risk mitigation strategies that involve the clinical integration of CKM for the safe use of SGLT2i for people living with T1D so that they may benefit from the cardiac and renal protection and glucose-lowering effects of this drug class. The NOFO will support short-term, clinical trials to gain and disseminate knowledge on safety and glucose control with CKM and SGLT2i use.Possible topics include testing optimal insulin delivery in open and closed loop systems or multiple daily injections and developing clinical protocols to control or ameliorate elevated ketone levels in individuals with T1D who are receiving adjunct therapy with SGLT2i.

The Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) is offering the Community Tree Planting Program, funded by the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP) through the 2008 State Legislature. This grant program is administered by the Division of Forestry’s Urban and Community Forestry Program. The core mission of this grant is to increase the tree resource base in cities and towns across Tennessee, focusing on the functional benefits of urban trees rather than solely on beautification. The primary beneficiaries of this program are communities and local units of government, non-profit organizations, and elementary, secondary, and higher education institutions within Tennessee. The impact goal is to enhance the state's urban tree resources to provide direct cost-saving benefits to communities. These benefits include energy savings through shading, storm water mitigation, rain interception, and improved air quality through filtration and absorption. The program's priorities and focuses are explicitly not beautification but rather the practical, environmental services that trees provide. It emphasizes that trees are "work horses for communities." Recommended goals and objectives for applicants include statements about urban trees providing cooler temperatures, cleaner air, reduced flooding and erosion, improved human health, and food and shelter for wildlife. Expected outcomes and measurable results revolve around the increase in the tree resource base and the subsequent realization of the aforementioned environmental and economic benefits. While specific metrics are not detailed in the provided text, the focus on quantifiable benefits like energy savings and storm water mitigation implies an expectation of measurable improvements in these areas. The grant contracts will run from December 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025, suggesting that the initial outcomes will be assessed within this timeframe. Eligible applicants can apply for grants ranging from $500 to $20,000, which further indicates a focus on smaller, community-level projects with clear, achievable objectives.

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages applications that propose to develop studies that will lead to a broad understanding of the natural history of disorders that already do or could potentially benefit from early identification by newborn screening. A comprehensive understanding of the natural history of a disorder has been identified as a necessary element to facilitate appropriate interventions for infants identified by newborn screening. By defining the sequence and timing of the onset of symptoms and complications of a disorder, a valuable resource will be developed for the field. In addition, for some disorders, specific genotype-phenotype correlations may allow prediction of the clinical course, and for other disorders, identification of modifying genetic, epigenetic, or environmental factors will enhance an understanding of the clinical outcomes for an individual with such a condition. Comprehensive data on natural history will facilitate the field;apos;s ability to: 1) accurately diagnose the disorder; 2) understand the genetic and clinical heterogeneity and phenotypic expression of the disorder; 3) identify underlying mechanisms related to basic defects; 4) potentially prevent, manage, and treat symptoms and complications of the disorder; and 5) provide children and their families with needed support and predictive information about the disorder.

This grant opportunity, offered by Sanofi, aims to address gaps and provide educational resources related to the diagnosis and treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). CIDP is a heterogeneous, immune-mediated neuropathy characterized by demyelination of motor and sensory nerves, leading to various clinical challenges. Sanofi seeks proposals for educational programs, particularly those that can effectively recap information from the 2024 Peripheral Nerve Society Annual Meeting and offer independent medical education (IME) activities. Programs should focus on key evidence-based data and offer recommendations to healthcare providers dealing with CIDP, particularly in areas such as treatment options, clinical challenges, and the role of complement therapeutics in CIDP care.

The Secured School Safety Grant (SSSG) program is an Indiana state-allocated fund designed to enhance school safety through matching grants. This program directly aligns with a foundation's mission focused on ensuring the well-being and security of educational environments, as it provides critical resources for creating safer schools. The grants are available to school corporations, accredited non-public schools, charter schools, and coalitions of school corporations, ensuring a broad reach across the state's educational landscape. The core objective is to mitigate threats, improve emergency response capabilities, and foster a secure learning atmosphere for students and staff. The target beneficiaries of the SSSG program are primarily students, school employees, and the broader school communities within Indiana. The impact goals are comprehensive, aiming to reduce the incidence of violence, enhance preparedness for critical incidents, and support the mental and behavioral health of students. The grant seeks to achieve these goals by funding initiatives that directly address vulnerabilities and promote a proactive approach to safety. The SSSG program focuses on several key priorities. These include the employment of school resource officers or law enforcement officers, conducting site vulnerability assessments and critical incident digital mapping, and purchasing equipment to restrict access, manage visitors, expedite first responder notification and access, and detect various threats. The program also prioritizes enhancing emergency communications, assisting with emergency medical response, implementing student and parent support services, and providing training for canine units and school employees on safety-related topics. Furthermore, it supports the design and construction of security-enhancing additions or renovations, bullying prevention programs, and active event warning systems.
