The Village Safe Water (VSW) Program in Alaska outlines a clear process for communities seeking funding for water and sewer improvement projects. Eligibility is determined based on community type and the existence of an approved Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) or Technical Memorandum. All applications must be linked to a specific project in the Sanitation Deficiency System (SDS) and, for first-time piped service projects, must include an approved Sustainability Plan. The application process involves submitting a community letter requesting the project, indicating the name and cost, and either mailing or emailing the completed application package by 11:59 p.m. on May 3, 2024. Project funding becomes available in Fall 2024, with the expectation that projects will be completed by Fall 2029.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission invites applications for funding under the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) Services grant. This grant supports the establishment and operation of ADRCs in seven designated Planning and Service Areas (PSAs) across Texas. These centers aim to provide a comprehensive, streamlined access system for older adults and individuals with disabilities, facilitating easier connection to long-term services and supports. The grant focuses on enhancing several core services, including specialized information, referral and assistance services, respite care referrals, local contact agency services for community living transitions, housing navigator services to increase accessible and affordable housing, and outreach activities for Medicare-related benefits. This initiative is a part of the broader No Wrong Door system, which involves multiple federal agencies to improve the quality and accessibility of long-term care and supports. The project stresses collaboration with local agencies and community organizations to ensure a wide-reaching impact.

This funding opportunity supports the establishment of Clinical Coordinating Centers for multi-site clinical trials focused on heart, lung, and blood health issues, encouraging collaboration and community engagement to improve trial efficiency and address health disparities.

The purpose of this Negotiation Cooperative Agreement is to provide Tribes with resources to help defray the costs associated with preparing for and engaging in TSGP negotiations. TSGP negotiations are a dynamic, evolving, and tribally driven process that requires careful planning, preparation, and sharing of precise, up-to-date information by both Tribal and Federal parties. Because each Tribal situation is unique, a Tribes successful transition into the TSGP, or expansion of their current program, requires focused discussions between the Federal and Tribal negotiation teams about the Tribes specific health care concerns and plans. One of the hallmarks of the TSGP is the collaborative nature of the negotiations process, which is designed to: 1) enable a Tribe to set its own priorities when assuming responsibility for IHS PSFAs; 2) observe and respect the government-to-government relationship between the U.S. and each Tribe; and 3) involve the active participation of both Tribal and IHS representatives, including the OTSG. Negotiations are a method of determining and agreeing upon the terms and provisions of a Tribes Compact and FA, the implementation documents required for the Tribe to enter into the TSGP. The Compact sets forth the general terms of the government-to-government relationship between the Tribe and the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The FA: 1) describes the length of the agreement (whether it will be annual or multi-year); 2) identifies the PSFAs, or portions thereof, the Tribe will assume; 3) specifies the amount of funding associated with the Tribal assumption; and 4) includes terms required by Federal statutes and other terms agreed to by the parties. Both documents are required to participate in the TSGP and they are mutually negotiated agreements that become legally binding and mutually enforceable after both parties sign the documents. Either document can be renegotiated at the request of the Tribe.

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support formative research and pilot testing of culturally sensitive, innovative interventions to identify and mitigate the risk of suicidal ideation and behavior (SIB), and/or non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). The proposed research initiatives must incorporate a plan to strengthen research capacity within the LMIC community where the study will be conducted.
