The Rural Health Network Development Planning Program supports the planning and development of rural integrated health care networks with specific focus on collaboration of entities to establish or improve local capacity and care coordination in underserved communities. Specifically, the program uses the concept of developing networks as a strategy for linking rural health care network participants together to achieve greater collective capacity to overcome local challenges, expand access and improve the quality of care in the rural communities these organizations serve. The program helps network participants work together on three legislative aims: Achieve efficiencies. Expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of basic health care services and associated health outcomes. Strengthen the rural health care system as a whole. The intent is that rural health networks will do the following: Expand access to care. Increase the use of health information technology. Explore alternative health care delivery models. Continue to achieve quality health care across the continuum of care.

The DOE SC program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) hereby announces its interest in basic computer science and applied mathematics research in the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for science. Specifically, advancements in this area are sought that can enable the development of: Foundation models for computational science; Automated scientific workflows and laboratories; Scientific programming and scientific-knowledge-management systems; Federated and privacy-preserving training for foundation and other AI models for science; and Energy-efficient AI algorithms and hardware for science. The development of new AI techniques applicable to multiple scientific domains can accelerate progress, increase transparency, and open new areas of exploration across the scientific enterprise. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION AI is one of the most powerful technologies of our time[1] and DOE is at the forefront of research and development in AI technologies for enabling scientific discovery and innovation. Core components of the scientific method remain unchanged: Observation, Hypothesis, Experiments, and Analysis. However, DOE recognizes that abundant sources of data, high-performance computing (HPC) and networking, energy-efficient algorithms, and AI-related technologies can be harnessed to significantly accelerate and expand the impact of scientific research. The breadth of applications spans climate science, cybersecurity and electric grid resilience, biotechnology, microelectronics, disaster response, and beyond. Research to address national priorities will require advances and AI innovations in high-level capabilities such as: monitoring and predicting the onset of real-world anomalies and extreme events; adaptive strategies to control the real-time behavior of complex systems, infrastructure, and processes; approaches for the optimal development and design of physical systems; decision-support for planning, risk, and policy formulation; and tools that synthesize scientific knowledge and accelerate the design, manufacturing, testing, and optimization of new technologies. The focus of ASCR research and development investments is on the underlying approaches for AI-enhanced scientific and engineering capabilities and to significantly transform the scientific method for accelerated discovery and innovation. Realizing the next generation of AI for science will require innovations in both hardware and algorithms. Future AI-enabled scientific workflows are expected to use Machine Learning (ML) to enhance numerical modeling and data analysis along with technologies that process natural and computer-programming languages. DOEs exascale supercomputers[2] are some of the Nations most powerful systems for large-scale AI training and for tasks integrating AI, modeling, simulation, and data analysis. These exascale and future systems complement the vast array of other AI-enabled HPC and edge systems, including automated laboratories and facilities, that will significantly accelerate scientific progress in the coming decades. DOEs scientific community has collectively articulated important research directions toward realizing the promise of AI for science and other DOE missions in the recently-released AI For Science, Energy, and Security report [1], building on the preceding AI for Science report [2], and complementing the report on Opportunities and Challenges from Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for the Advancement of Science, Technology, and the Office of Science Missions [3]. The research directions highlighted in these reports, and others, appear prominently in the National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan [4]. This FOA addresses a broad spectrum of research priorities described in these documents that are critical to enabling trustworthy AI for scientific applications advancing human understanding and addressing national needs.

The purpose of the Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25) is to attract to NIH-relevant research those investigators whose quantitative science and engineering research has thus far not been focused primarily on questions of health and disease. The K25 award will provide support and "protected time" for a period of supervised study and research for productive professionals with quantitative (e.g., mathematics, statistics, economics, computer science, imaging science, informatics, physics, chemistry) and engineering backgrounds to integrate their expertise with NIH-relevant research. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial. Applicants to this FOA are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor. Applicants proposing a clinical trial or an ancillary clinical trial as lead investigator, should apply to the companion FOA ().
