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 West Haven ARPA Grant, administered by The Arts Council of Greater New Haven (ACGNH) in partnership with ArtsWest CT, aims to rapidly stimulate arts and culture activity in West Haven, CT. With $116,250 of ARPA funds from the City of West Haven, the program seeks to distribute microgrants of $2,500-$10,000 to artists, arts organizations, and creative businesses within the city. This initiative aligns with the ACGNH's mission to support and foster arts and culture within the greater New Haven area, extending its reach to West Haven to ensure a vibrant creative economy and community engagement. The target beneficiaries for these microgrants are individuals over 18 years of age, or organizations/collectives with a representative over 18, who are either based in West Haven or proposing a project that directly serves the West Haven community. The primary impact goal is to stimulate artistic, historical, and/or culturally-specific activities within West Haven during the project period of July-August 2024. The program prioritizes proposals that demonstrate feasibility and can be easily executed within the short timeframe, with a strong emphasis on projects that foster equity and inclusion, and strengthen community ties within West Haven. The grant focuses on two main categories for the use of funds: General Operating Support (GOS) and Project Support. GOS includes expenses like rent, equipment purchases/rentals, subscriptions, printing/mailing, and contract labor (e.g., graphic designers, consultants). Project Support covers physical materials, ground transportation, commissions, contract labor (e.g., performers, consultants, designers), advertising, and venue rental. Notably, expenses for salaried employees paid via payroll (W-2 employees) are not eligible, and recipients will receive a 1099, responsible for their own income taxes. Expected outcomes include a rapid increase in arts and culture activities within West Haven during the summer of 2024, with measurable results tied to the feasibility, equity, and community impact of the funded projects. The evaluation criteria, Feasibility, Equity + Inclusion, and Community, are designed to guide applicants towards projects that are not only achievable within the project period but also actively incorporate, serve, and support historically marginalized residents and activate and elevate the broader West Haven community through partnerships. This strategic approach reflects a theory of change where targeted financial support, with an emphasis on local engagement and accessible execution, leads to a flourishing local arts scene and enhanced community well-being.

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.
