This funding opportunity supports institutions in creating collaborative training networks for early-career researchers focused on advancing studies in kidney, urologic, and hematologic diseases.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages grant applications from investigators interested in conducting basic, mechanistic research into the biological/genetic causes of cancer health disparities. These research project grants will support innovative studies designed to investigate biological/genetic bases of cancer disparities, such as (1) mechanistic studies of biological factors associated with cancer disparities, including those related to basic research in cancer biology or cancer prevention strategies, (2) the development and testing of new methodologies and models, and (3) secondary data analyses. This FOA is also designed to aid and facilitate the growth of a nationwide cohort of scientists with a high level of basic research expertise in cancer health disparities research who can expand available resources and tools, such as biospecimens, patient derived models, and methods that are necessary to conduct basic research in cancer health disparities.

This funding opportunity supports researchers exploring the causes and effects of mood and psychotic disorders during menopause, aiming to improve mental health interventions for women experiencing this transition.

This grant provides funding to support the career development of underrepresented clinical scientists in cancer research, helping them gain the skills and experience needed to advance in their field.

This funding opportunity provides substantial financial support to higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations to establish collaborative centers that advance research and resources for HIV/AIDS.

This program provides funding to healthcare providers and organizations to improve mental health and substance use services for women, particularly those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to enhance the participation of individuals from nationally underrepresented backgrounds to enhance the participation of individuals from nationally underrepresented backgrounds in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic and sleep disorders research across the career development continuum by providing support to institutions that promote diversity. The NHLBI's T32 Training Program for Institutions That Promote Diversity is a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Program intended to support training of predoctoral and health professional students and individuals in postdoctoral training institutions with an institutional mission focused on serving health disparity populations not well represented in scientific research, or institutions that have been identified by federal legislation as having an institutional mission focused on these populations, with the potential to develop meritorious training programs in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic diseases, and sleep disorders. These institutions are uniquely positioned to engage minority and other health disparity populations in research, translation, and implementation of research advances that impact health outcomes, as well as provide health care for these populations.This NOFO does not allow appointed trainees to lead an independent clinical trial but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) is a grant that supports educational activities, including courses for skills development, research experiences, and mentoring activities, aimed at enhancing the training of a diverse workforce for biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs, with a focus on responsible conduct and diversity enhancement.

Grant Title: Co-infection and Cancer (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) - This grant aims to improve our understanding of how co-infections (excluding HIV) contribute to cancer, particularly in under-studied populations, to identify new prevention and treatment strategies.

This funding opportunity supports organizations in coordinating research efforts to address multiple chronic diseases and reduce health disparities, particularly in underserved communities.

This funding opportunity supports the development of innovative computational tools to analyze complex brain data, inviting a diverse range of researchers and organizations to enhance our understanding of neural circuits and their functions.

This grant provides funding for researchers to conduct innovative analyses of existing data to better understand substance use disorders and related behaviors, particularly focusing on vulnerable populations and the effectiveness of interventions.

This program provides low-interest loans to local governments and entities in Illinois for improving wastewater, stormwater, and drinking water infrastructure to enhance public health and environmental quality.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in the field of clinical neurosciences to conduct studies that compare the effectiveness of various preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders.

This funding opportunity provides support for researchers to plan and implement clinical trials focused on developing and testing behavioral and social interventions for dental, oral, or craniofacial health issues.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for small-scale research projects that investigate the ethical, legal, and social challenges arising from advancements in human genetic and genomic research.

The Food Safety Education Fund grants program, administered by the Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development (MDARD), is designed to enhance food safety throughout Michigan. Funded by assessments on licensed food establishments, the program aligns with a mission to protect public health by providing critical food safety training and education. This initiative directly supports the broader goal of ensuring a safe food supply for all Michigan residents. The foundation's strategic priority is to prevent foodborne illness through proactive education and the empowerment of various stakeholders within the food system. The program primarily targets two key beneficiary groups: Michigan consumers and food service establishment employees, as well as agents of the director who enforce food regulations (e.g., local health department sanitarians and MDARD food safety inspectors). The impact goal is to improve food safety knowledge and practices among these groups, ultimately reducing the incidence of foodborne illnesses. Eligibility is restricted to Michigan governmental and non-profit organizations and entities, ensuring that the grants support organizations deeply embedded in community health and public service. Producers, marketers, processors, and growers are explicitly excluded to maintain the program's focus on education and training. For the 2024-2025 grant cycle, up to $365,600 is available, with a specific allocation of $242,500 for consumer food safety education and $114,100 for food service establishment employees and regulatory agents. This demonstrates a clear prioritization of widespread public education while also fortifying the knowledge base of those directly involved in food handling and enforcement. The grant duration is typically one year, though multi-year proposals are considered on an individual basis, contingent on future funding availability. Proposals should specifically avoid requesting funding for routine or required training, such as HACCP or ServSafe certification, emphasizing a focus on innovative and supplementary educational initiatives. Proposals are evaluated based on several key criteria, including goals and objectives to improve food safety, assessment of statewide need and audience, measurable outcomes, potential for partnering with other organizations, inclusion of matching funds, and opportunities to build upon previously funded projects. These selection criteria reflect the program's theory of change, which posits that strategic partnerships, evidence-based interventions, and quantifiable results are essential for achieving sustainable improvements in food safety. The expected outcomes include a more informed public, better-trained food service professionals, and more effective enforcement of food safety regulations, all contributing to a safer food environment across Michigan.
