The Chilkat Valley Community Foundation (CVCF), an affiliate of The Alaska Community Foundation (ACF), is offering grants to qualified, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations (or equivalents like Tribal entities, schools, and faith-based organizations) that support charitable programs in the Chilkat Valley area. This grant program aligns with the foundation's mission to address a broad range of community needs. Grants are available in three categories: Operating Support, New Program and Special Project, and Capital Grants. The typical grant awards range from $500-$3,500, with an overall grant size ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. The target beneficiaries are organizations serving the Chilkat Valley, with an emphasis on local, sustainable organizations for operating support, and those undertaking new or special projects. The impact goals are to support various community needs including health and wellness, education, the great outdoors, arts and culture, and community development. Capital grants are also available for construction, remodel, renovation, technology, furniture, and equipment, aiming to enhance the infrastructure and resources of community organizations. The program prioritizes organizations that are tax-exempt 501(c)(3) or equivalent. Capital Grant applicants receive extra scoring points if they have previously applied for other grants for the same project. Ineligible organizations include individuals, for-profits, specific non-profits (501(c)(4), 501(c)(6)), non-Alaska based organizations, private foundations, government agencies, and ad hoc groups. Activities such as religious indoctrination, endowment building, fundraising, lobbying, and political activities are also ineligible. Exceptions are made for faith-based organizations or governmental units whose proposals broadly benefit the community, and ineligible organizations can apply through fiscal sponsorship. Expected outcomes include the completion of grant projects within one year of the award, subject to the grantee completing an online grant agreement. The measurable results are tied to the successful implementation of supported programs and projects, contributing to the health, education, cultural enrichment, environmental preservation, and overall development of the Chilkat Valley. The foundation's strategic priority is to foster a vibrant community by supporting a diverse array of charitable initiatives, operating under the theory that targeted financial assistance to qualifying organizations will lead to improved community well-being and sustained local development.

This award mechanism seeks to support the delivery of evidence-based clinical services to screen for cancer and pre-cancer in underserved populations who do not have adequate access to cancer early detection interventions and health care, bringing together networks of public health and community partners to carry out programs tailored for their communities. Projects should identify cancers that cause the most burden in the community, have nationally recommended screening methods, and use evidence-based methods to screen for these cancers. Award: Maximum of $1M for new projects and $2.5M for expansion projects Duration: Maximum 5 years

The Connection, Health, & Equity through Food (CHEF) Grant Program is a collaborative initiative across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Eastern Massachusetts, and Upstate New York, administered by the Maine Council on Aging. The program's core mission is to increase older adults’ equitable access to healthy food and social connection, aligning with a broader goal of addressing systemic issues like food insecurity and social isolation. This grant program seeks to support older adults by fostering programmatic infrastructure, expanding existing programs, and launching innovative new initiatives that cater to their food and social connection needs. The target beneficiaries of the CHEF Grant Program are primarily older adults, with a specific focus on underserved and marginalized populations. These include BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), LGBTQ+, women, veterans, people living with disabilities, and individuals residing in rural communities. The program's impact goals are centered on enhancing the quality of life for these older adults by improving their access to nutritious food and opportunities for social engagement. Projects that serve diverse older people, veterans, and older people living with disabilities are given priority. The CHEF program prioritizes finding solutions to the root causes of food insecurity and social isolation. These root causes include poverty, transportation barriers, rurality, and language barriers. While the grant does not explicitly detail the foundation's strategic priorities or a formal theory of change, the emphasis on equitable access, addressing systemic issues, and supporting vulnerable populations suggests a strategy focused on community-based interventions and empowerment. The program's design indicates a theory that by investing in local organizations and initiatives, significant improvements can be made in the well-being of older adults. Expected outcomes include increased access to healthy food for older adults, enhanced social connections within communities, and a reduction in the prevalence of food insecurity and social isolation among the target populations. While specific measurable results are not explicitly outlined, the program's focus on data for older people served (50.1% of the overall population served) suggests an intent to track the reach and impact on the primary beneficiary group. The grant duration is not mentioned, but the anticipated grant size of $2,000 – $10,000 for most grants indicates support for projects with tangible, localized impacts.

The Diversity Center for Genome Research (DCGR) program aims to establish Genomic Research Centers at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) as defined in Part 2, section III of the FOA. The MSIs must have a mission to serve historically underrepresented populations in biomedical research that award doctorate degrees in the health professions or the sciences related to health, and have received an average of less than $50 million per year in NIH support and less than $25 million per year of R01 total cost of NIH support for the past three fiscal years. Each DCGR award will support a multi-investigator, interdisciplinary team to develop 2-3 interrelated, innovative genomic research projects. Each project should address one or more critical issues in genomics including: genomic technology and methods development; genome structure; genome function; genomics of disease; use and impact of genomic information in clinical care; genomic data science and computational genomics; ethical, legal, and social implications of genomic research; and/or genomics and health equity. Along with its scientific goals, the DCGR should expand the pool of diverse genomic scientists, clinician scientists, and researchers who can perform innovative genomics research by providing didactic, practicum and research activities and experiences that are aligned with the research projects.

NIA intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) soliciting applications that aim to develop Common Data Elements (CDEs) for Alzheimers disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) using Real-World Data (RWD) from electronic health records and Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services (CMS) claims. The CDEs will foster data harmonization and interoperability among data systems that involve disparate and unaligned RWD. By reducing the efforts required for data harmonization in using RWD for cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis, the NOFO may enable researchers to utilize RWD more efficiently and produce real-world evidence in a faster manner. The NOFO is expected to be published in March 2024 with an expected application due date in June 2024. Please note that these time frames are simply estimations, and they may change. The NOFO is expected to utilize the Resource-Related Research Projects Cooperative Agreements (U24) activity code. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. Additional details regarding the planned NOFO are below.
