Grants for Public and State controlled institutions of higher education - Federal

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to increase basic access to justice in rural regions and for vulnerable populations throughout the Central African Republic.Central Africans in remote and conflict-affected communities continue to lack basic access to justice services and require assistance relating to crimes against vulnerable populations, such as children, elderly, widows, and orphans, LGBTQI+, and victims of sexual- and gender-based violence (SGBV). Despite substantial progress in recent years, CARs justice institutions lack the infrastructure and resources to provide legal services to a substantial section of the countrys population. CAR remote populations possess limited knowledge of how court system operations, available legal protections, and difficulty accessing courts with limited functionality. The absence of accessible, functional, and credible justice institutions has a profound impact on the lives of marginalized Central African populations as the risk of physical violence remains.

This(NOFO) aims to innovate, implement, and evaluate approaches to One Health laboratory diagnostic network optimization and specimen transport in Liberia. This multi-component NOFO is designed to address the inter-dependence of a comprehensive, resource-mapped, accredited national and sub-national laboratory network, the physical transportation architecture required to transfer network commodities (namely human, animal, and environmental specimens) point-to-point, and the optimization of digital communication, information, and supply chain systems necessary to sustain the network itself.

Reissue PAR-21-122. This NOFO provides funding to conduct pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and in vivo efficacy studies to demonstrate that proposed therapeutic agent(s) have sufficient biological activity to warrant further development to treat neurological or neuromuscular disorders that fall under the NINDS mission. Therapeutic agents include small molecules, biologics or biotechnology-derived products. This FOA is part of a suite of Innovation Grants to Nurture Initial Translational Efforts (IGNITE) to advance projects to the point where they can meet the entry criteria for the Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network or other translational programs.

YTL is a new initiative based on the outcomes of the 2023 Camp David Trilateral Leaders Summit and 2024 U.S.-ROK-Japan Trilateral Global Leadership Youth Summit that seeks to include youth aged 20-35 in meaningful dialogue about the shared opportunities and challenges facing the United States, Republic of Korea, and Japan. The inaugural YTL programmatic year will focus on a series of regional workshops that encourage Korean and Japanese youth to collaborate with -- and learn from -- American peer experts on issues related critical and emerging technologies. Workshops should explore how youth living in the ROK, Japan, and U.S. can leverage new technologies to tackle the most challenging issues facing the Indo-Pacific region today. Potential programmatic topic areas could include: AIs impact on democratic institutions and education systems Quantum computing Social media mis/disinformation Young womens participation and success in STEM fields Semiconductors Games and immersive technologies as collaborative spaces Next generation clean energy technology Leveraging new technologies to encourage youth civic participation Space exploration Based on their organizational expertise, applicants may also propose other critical and emerging technology topics that are not listed here. Please refer to the White Houses Critical and Emerging Technologies List for more detailed information. Target Audience: Korean and Japanese college students and young professionals aged 20-35 from diverse backgrounds who work, study or have a demonstrated interest in critical emerging technologies, speak fluent English, and are interested in trilateral collaboration. The total number of participants should be adjusted based on the available budget. Participants should reflect the United States governments commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and accessibility Location: Workshops must take place in both the Republic of Korea and Japan. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit proposals that include most of their programming outside of the Seoul and Tokyo metropolitan areas. Virtual components should supplement in-person activities. Timeline: Successful proposals should include a series of focused programs on topics of interest that will take place starting throughout 2025. Alumni Engagement: Proposals must explain how the inaugural program year will build a tight-knit network of program alumni and should include a robust and realistic alumni engagement plan. Monitoring and Evaluation (M): Proposals must include a substantive monitoring and evaluation plan that sets clear goals and metrics to be tracked throughout the project. In addition, M plans should include data collection (via focus groups, surveys, etc.) of participant populations to capture their feedback on the program and opinions on broader trilateral cooperation. Misc: Proposals must include an American element or connection with U.S. experts, organizations, or institutions. Proposals may include requests for international travel and related costs of experts, speakers, and key individuals in support of broader activities. Given the nature of trilateral programs, programs should be conducted in English or if the target population lacks English fluency, must include interpretation. Programs whose exclusive goal is teaching English will not be considered. Note: Not mandatory, but you may use the templates provided here: Proposal Template / Budget Template All application materials must be submitted by email to [email protected]

The Cooperative Agreement to Support Navigators in Federally-facilitated Exchanges (Funding Opportunity) will enable recipients to operate as Exchange Navigators in states with a Federally facilitated Exchange (FFE), as authorized by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Each year, the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services (CMS) makes grant awards to organizations who serve as Navigators in FFE states. Navigators help consumers prepare applications to establish eligibility and enroll in coverage through the Exchanges, and help determine whether consumers potentially qualify for insurance affordability programs. They also provide outreach and education to raise awareness about the Exchanges. As trusted community partners, Navigators are required to provide targeted assistance to underserved and vulnerable populations within the Exchange service area, which is critical to improving access to health care coverage for communities that often experience a disproportionate burden of disease. In furtherance of the Biden Administrations goals on ensuring access to and expanding affordable and high-quality health care coverage and improving health equity, Navigators are well positioned to reach historically underserved and vulnerable communities, especially those who continue to face significant health disparities. Navigators operate year-roundincreasing awareness among the remaining uninsured about the coverage options available to them, helping consumers find affordable coverage that meets their needs, and assisting consumers beyond the enrollment process to ensure theyre equipped with the tools and resources needed to utilize and maintain their health coverage all year. The increased funding available to applicants through this Funding Opportunity will enable FFE Navigators to further expand their reach, with a renewed focus on outreach to diverse, underserved, and vulnerable communities.
