This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aims to support research on interdisciplinary population approaches to increasing awareness of the relationship between alcohol and cancer risk, understanding and changing social norms related to alcohol consumption, developing and/or evaluating alcohol policy approaches, and the development, testing, and implementation of population-level interventions to reduce alcohol-related cancer risk. Applications that address multiple levels of consumption, such as moderate and heavy drinking, are of particular interest, as well as those focusing on alcohol use disorder (AUD) from the perspective of cancer prevention and control. Proposals addressing understudied areas are encouraged, as is attention to underrepresented minority (URM) populations experiencing cancer and alcohol-related disparities such as American Indian, Alaskan Native, and sexual and gender minority populations.

The Appalachian Region Healthcare Support Program provides technical assistance (TA) to help rural healthcare organizations, including critical access hospitals (CAHs), small rural hospitals, rural health clinics, tribal healthcare facilities, and other healthcare organizations located in the rural counties served by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) with planning and implementing health care service improvements. The goal of this program is to strengthen healthcare delivery in rural areas of the Appalachian Region by improving financial and operational performance as well as the quality of care in rural healthcare organizations. The TA provider funded under this cooperative agreement will work with individual healthcare organizations to meet the following program objectives: Provide objective analysis and assessment of healthcare organizations financial status, market share, quality indicators, locally available human services, and gaps in services so that organizations can make actionable change; Identify clinical areas where expansion of services within a rural healthcare organization would meet local need, keep health care services available locally, and build capacity to improve financial and operational performance as well as quality of care. Support healthcare organizations in implementing best practice recommendations prioritized in TA action plans. For purposes of this notice of funding opportunity, rural healthcare organization is a health care organization located in a rural area in the Appalachian Region. A healthcare organization includes critical access hospitals, small rural hospitals, rural health clinics, tribal healthcare facilities, and other healthcare organizations. To determine if a health care organization is located in a rural area, visit https://data.hrsa.gov/tools/rural-health. To determine if a county is in the Appalachian Region, visit https://www.arc.gov/appalachian-counties-served-by-arc.For more details, see Program Requirements and Expectations.

The intent of the FY24 ERP IDA is to solicit novel, innovative research that has the potential to increase our understanding of PTE to improve quality of life, especially in Service Members, Veterans, and/or their care partners. The work should innovatively challenge existing research paradigms or exhibit high levels of creativity. The FY24 ERP IDA offers two levels of funding dependent upon the level of experience of the Principal Investigator (PI). Funding Level I - Pathway to Independence Option: Early-career investigators ranging from the postdoctoral level (e.g., research associate, fellows, residents, or equivalent) to within 3 years of their first independent faculty position (or equivalent) may be named by the organization as the PI on the application (mentor required). Funding Level II - Innovative New Direction Option: Investigators at all career levels may be named by the organization as the PI on the application.

The intent of the FY24 ERP LRA is to leverage ongoing or completed research studies for which PTE was not an original focus and to provide support to expand the research to develop such a focus and increase our understanding of PTE. The project may include basic, translational, and/or clinical research studies. The study must be associated with an ongoing or completed research effort in which PTE is/was not a research priority and for which addition of cohorts, outcomes, assessments, or analysis specific to PTE would be scientifically justified to increase our understanding of PTE. Examples of allowable research include but are not limited to: Secondary analysis of epilepsy surveillance data to evaluate PTE risk; Addition of a chronic TBI cohort in an ongoing preclinical animal study to evaluate seizure outcomes and epileptogenesis; Recruitment/Analysis of a PTE cohort within an ongoing observational longitudinal study for a known concomitant comorbidity of PTE such as depression, cognitive deficits, sleep disorder, etc.
