This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks innovative grant applications in nonmalignant hematology research that will steer the field in new directions. Applications to this FOA should propose proof of principle research that is tightly focused into one specific aim, which can be accomplished within a 1-3 year project period, and is directed at validating novel concepts and approaches that promise to open new pathways for discovery.The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) have joined together to build research activities in nonmalignant hematology. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to promote innovative research projects in nonmalignant hematology that explore high impact and new directions of inquiry. While each Institute shares interests in nonmalignant hematology research, they also bring different perspectives, thereby expanding the scope of the SHINE II program beyond a single Institute's research mission. This "New Directions in Hematology Research (SHINE-II)" program invites investigator-initiated grant applications for basic or early translational, proof of principle research projects that are tightly focused and directed at validating novel concepts and approaches that promise to advance new pathways for discovery. This program may include clinical research involving human subjects that is directed at understanding disease pathogenesis and prognosis. Research applications submitted under this FOA should be more limited in scope (single aim with sub-aims, as appropriate) and duration (1-3 years) than typical R01 grant applications. The SHINE-II FOA seeks specifically to promote and support new directions of research in their early stages. Applications submitted to this FOA should include preliminary data that support the conceptual basis of the research proposed and the technical approaches to be used. Moreover, while research applications submitted under this FOA are expected to be more limited in scope and shorter in duration than typical R01 applications, achievement of the research objective(s) proposed should validate novel pathways of discovery and provide the basis for future high impact research endeavors. Principal areas of interest for this collaborative FOA include: (1) hematopoietic stem cell biology, (2) lineage fate determinants, (3) aging-related immune dysfunction and lymphocyte biology, (4) myeloid cell biology, and myelopoiesis, (5) platelet biology and dysfunction, (6) erythroid cell biology and erythropoiesis, (7) the molecular biology of heme and hemoglobin, (8) acquired and congenital disorders of red blood cell production and survival leading to chronic anemia or bone marrow failure, (9) and the uptake, utilization, storage, and transport of iron in health and disease. Inquiries to Scientific/Research staff prior to submission of an application to this FOA are strongly encouraged to discuss programmatic relevance and potential time tables for funding (see below, Section VII. Agency Contacts). The limited scope and shorter duration of the SHINE II R01 are not optimal for Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) and New Investigators (NIs), who should contact Scientific/Research staff prior to submission of an application to this FOA.

The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) forecast provides information for eligible candidates interested in submitting applications for the Next Generation Child Support Employment Services Demonstration (NextGen). The NextGen program model is based on lessons learned from the National Child Support Noncustodial Parent Employment Demonstration. Its goal is to expand and enhance child support-led employment services for noncustodial parents. All state and tribal child support programs are eligible. Each applicant will self-identify into one of the following three mutually exclusive groups:Tribal child support agenciesState child support agencies where at least one local jurisdiction participating in the demonstration does not currently have an employment and training program or the program has been in operation for less than 5 yearsState child support agencies where all local jurisdictions participating in the demonstration have had an employment and training program in operation for at least 5 yearsAll groups are expected to implement their employment and training programs according to the program design elements described below. Deviations are allowed, but they must be justified, and the applicant must explain how they propose to handle the design elements described below.All groups are expected to provide the following child support and related services to noncustodial parents who receive employment and training services:Initiating and expediting order review and if appropriate modificationSuspending enforcement tools while participating in the program, including removing license suspensions and bench warrantsProviding debt reduction if permitted by state lawHelping with parenting time ordersWraparound services, such as fatherhood and parenting classes, substance abuse, or mental health services, are a plus but not required. OCSS anticipates that the grant recipient will partner with other agencies and programs to provide the employment and training services and other wraparound services.Experience shows that programs work best if each partner focuses on their core competencies. The child support program is expected to be the fiscal agent, manage the day-to-day operation of the program, and provide child support and related services, including those listed above. OCSS does not anticipate that child support staff will provide the employment and training services or wraparound services since these are not the child support program core competencies. These services may be paid for by the grant, but in most instances, they will be delivered by partnering agencies.This grant program will have a 60-month project period with five 12-month budget periods. Year 1 will focus on start-up and development of the program design. Years 2, 3, and 4 will be devoted to providing services, and the final year will be dedicated to evaluation, close-out, and sustainability work. Grant recipients will receive technical assistance and evaluation support from the recipient of the Technical Assistance and Evaluation of the Next Generation Child Support Employment Services Demonstration grant (see companion forecast). They will also participate in peer-to-peer learning opportunities.Recipients may receive between $350,000 and $2,102,941 over the 5-year project period. The award ceilings and floors for each project year is as follows:Year 1 (initial application): $588,235 ceiling and $100,000 floorYear 2: $588,235 ceiling and $100,000 floorYear 3: $308,824 ceiling and $50,000 floorYear 4: $308,824 ceiling and $50,000 floorYear 5: $308,824 ceiling and $50,000 floorOCSS anticipates that the budget requested will be scaled up or down according to the number of people served by the project.

The purpose of this program is to enhance Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations capacity to implement core Public Health functions, services, and activities, and to further develop and improve their Public Health management capabilities. As part of the IHS mission to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level, this program seeks to build on and strengthen community resilience by supporting wider access to the 10 Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) in Indian Country, a framework designed to offer all people a fair and just opportunity to achieve optimal health and well-being. For more information on the EPHS, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/publichealthgateway/publichealthservices/essentialhealthservices.html. The framework of the EPHS has served as a guide to the public health field since 1994 and describes the public health activities that all communities should undertake, including, 1) monitor health status to identify and solve community health problems, and 2) Diagnose and investigate health problems and health hazards in the community. The EPHS framework was revised in 2020 with an emphasis on equity and reflects current and future priorities for public health practice. The EPHS have been included in the HHS Healthy People initiatives since 2010, when the initiative first included a focus area of Public Health Infrastructure with the goal to ensure that Federal, Tribal, State, and local health agencies have the infrastructure to provide essential public health services effectively.
