The CIRI Foundation offers the "Increased Alaska Native Art & Culture Grant," also known as "A Journey to What Matters" (JWM) grant program, with the mission to perpetuate and promote the artistic and cultural traditions of Alaska Native peoples. This program directly aligns with the foundation's strategic priority to support and preserve the rich heritage of Alaska's indigenous communities, encompassing Yup’ik, Inupiat, Aleut/Alutiiq, Athabascan, Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian traditions that span over 12,000 years. The foundation's theory of change posits that by investing in tangible art traditions and the intergenerational transfer of knowledge, it can ensure the continuity and vitality of these cultural practices. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are Alaska Native artists and the broader Alaska Native communities. The impact goals are to promote the intergenerational transference of knowledge of Alaska Native artistic and cultural practices and to support Alaska Native artists. While language acquisition, storytelling, dance, and theater arts may be components of proposed projects, JWM grant funds are specifically allocated for expenses related to tangible arts, ensuring a direct focus on the creation and preservation of physical artistic expressions. The program prioritizes proposals that demonstrate the ability to obtain at least a one-to-one funding match, indicating a focus on leveraging additional resources and fostering collaborative investment in cultural preservation. Preference is also given to applicants who have not been awarded within the last year, promoting broader access to funding across the community. All funded project activities must take place within the state of Alaska, reinforcing the localized impact and benefit to the indigenous communities within the region. Expected outcomes include a measurable increase in the promotion and perpetuation of Alaska Native tangible art traditions, enhanced intergenerational learning, and sustained support for individual Alaska Native artists. Grantee organizations are required to report on the project’s programmatic progress and financial expenditures, ensuring accountability and enabling the foundation to assess the effectiveness and impact of its investments. The typical project duration is 12 months, allowing for focused and achievable outcomes, with consideration for multi-year grants when appropriate. The foundation explicitly does not fund endowments, buildings, equipment, loans, projects completed prior to proposal action, re-granting of funds, other private foundations, or lobbying efforts.

The purpose of the NIDA Animal Genetics Program is to identify genetic, genomic, and molecular (epi)genetic variants that underlie: 1. Phenotypes associated with addictive behaviors and/or vulnerability to distinct stages along the substance use disorder (SUD) trajectory (e.g. initial/acute use, escalation of use, acquisition of tolerance, dependence, uncontrolled use, abstinence and relapse or recovery); 2. Behaviors associated with SUD (e.g. impulsivity, novelty seeking, delayed discounting, and other genetically-associated phenotypes); and 3. Comorbidities that demonstrate genetic correlations with phenotypes and behaviors linked with SUD (e.g. anxiety, stress, poor maternal care, social defeat, and other paradigms). Applications may examine any type of variant, including single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, large and small structural variants, and all types of mobile DNA. NIDA encourages applications that take genomics, multi-omics, and/or data-based approaches that integrate multi-level omics data, delineate gene networks, and/or uncover the function of known or newly discovered genetic or epigenetic variants. NIDA expects these studies to uncover novel mechanisms that contribute to SUD and facilitate the discovery of targets for intervention and guide the development of individualized therapeutics to treat these different aspects of SUD.

HUD is funding studies to improve knowledge of housing-related health and safety hazards and to improve or develop new hazard assessment and control methods, with a focus on lead and other key residential health and safety hazards. HUD is especially interested in applications that will advance our knowledge of priority healthy homes issues by addressing important gaps in science related to the accurate and efficient identification of hazards and the implementation of cost-effective hazard mitigation. This includes studies using implementation sciences in identifying specific conditions under which residential environmental hazard interventions, that have been shown to be effective in specific housing types and residential settings, can be assessed in other contexts.

This funding opportunity supports institutions conducting clinical trials focused on improving dental, oral, and craniofacial health by allowing them to extend or revise ongoing studies to gather more data or address new research needs.

This NOFO aims to conduct diabetes surveillance across health system and/or health plan membership-based centers to: (1) Estimate incidence and prevalence of diabetes in youth (;lt; 18 years) and young adults (1844 years) in the United States. These estimates are sought by diabetes type, demographic traits, health insurance status, and geographic area to identify disparities in diabetes burden; and (2) Ascertain the prevalence of risk factors for diabetes complications, occurrence of acute and chronic diabetes complications, and use of diabetes medications among youth and young adults with diabetes. This NOFO has two (2) components to achieve the purpose of the program. Component A focuses on surveillance of diabetes among youth (;lt; 18 years) and young adults (1844 years). Component B serves as a Coordinating Center to provide an infrastructure for standardized approaches, analytical methods, and measures to be used for surveillance across sites. It will also develop validation protocols, serve as a data repository, and provide statistical expertise.

This funding opportunity is designed to establish a center that will coordinate and advance research on whole person health by integrating diverse biomedical knowledge and fostering collaboration among researchers.
