The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation's Community Grant opportunity is designed to provide statewide support to communities and nonprofit organizations throughout Arkansas. Its primary mission alignment is to focus on oral health education and services, specifically targeting underserved and uninsured Arkansas residents. This grant program is a direct reflection of the foundation's strategic priority to increase access to oral health care, particularly through community partnerships that fund preventative services and/or treatment. The target beneficiaries of these grants include underserved individuals of all ages, ethnicities, genders, and socio-economic statuses in Arkansas. The overarching impact goal is to improve oral health outcomes by increasing access to dental care and promoting good oral health practices. The program supports transactional projects and services that aim to achieve this goal, aligning with the foundation's theory of change that by funding preventative services and treatment, health disparities can be reduced and overall community well-being enhanced. The grant program has two main focus areas: Prevention and Treatment. Under Prevention, the grants aim to provide preventive and basic oral healthcare needs for the community. Under Treatment, the focus is on treating at-risk or low-income populations with existing oral health conditions. The grant-making focus specifically supports projects centered on increasing access to both treatment and preventative care, as well as services that promote good oral health practices. Expected outcomes include providing oral health treatment, education, and disease prevention services; increasing access to oral health services for underserved Arkansans; and promoting collaboration across a wide range of health providers in the state. While measurable results are not explicitly detailed in terms of specific metrics, the prioritization of grant requests incorporating a clear oral health focus, a detailed project plan, active collaboration, inclusion of diverse groups, referral protocols, wrap-around support, and the initiation of oral health programs in underserved counties all point to an emphasis on tangible, community-level impact. Community Grants range from $2,500 up to $40,000 per organization, and funds can be used for programmatic, operational, capital needs, and dental clinic expenses.

The L-A-D Foundation, in partnership with the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, is offering grants to nonprofit and public interest organizations. This program aligns with the L-A-D Foundation's mission to benefit the natural and cultural resources of the Missouri Ozarks within its 12-county service area. The foundation seeks innovative projects that support the conservation of these resources. The target beneficiaries are 501(c)3 organizations or other IRS-approved entities, including government entities, school districts, and churches. These organizations must be working in Carter, Crawford, Dent, Madison, Maries, Oregon, Perry, Reynolds, Ripley, Ste. Genevieve, Shannon, or Texas counties. The impact goal is to foster conservation efforts and enhance the natural and cultural resources of the Missouri Ozarks. The grant program prioritizes projects in areas such as environmental and conservation education, grassroots organizing, new program start-up costs, capital support, seed money, and workshops. It explicitly excludes requests for annual or operating support, social events, or benefits. This focus demonstrates the foundation's strategic priority on initiating and supporting specific, impactful conservation projects rather than ongoing operational expenses. Expected outcomes include tangible improvements in conservation efforts, increased environmental awareness through education, and the successful establishment of new programs or initiatives that protect the Ozarks' unique heritage. While specific measurable results are not detailed, the emphasis on "innovative projects" suggests a desire for demonstrable progress and impact within the chosen project areas. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by strategically funding targeted, innovative projects, they can catalyze significant positive change in the conservation landscape of the Missouri Ozarks.

Reissue of RFA-MH-22-220 to comply with DMSP. This FOA supports the development of software to visualize and analyze the data as part of programs of building the informatics infrastructure for the BRAIN Initiative. Other informatics programs include developing data standards that are needed to describe the new experiments that are being created by or used in the BRAIN Initiative ( RFA-MH-19-146 ), and creating the data infrastructures that will house the data from multiple experimental groups ( RFA-MH-19-145 ). Each of the programs is aimed at building an infrastructure that is used by a particular sub-domain of experimentalists rather than building a single all-encompassing informatics infrastructure now. Building the infrastructure one experimental area at a time will ensure that the infrastructure is immediately useful to components of the research community. As our understanding of the brain improves, it may be possible to create linkages between these various sub-domain specific informatics programs. Investigators of the informatics programs should keep that goal in mind and build for the future even though the current efforts are more limited in scope.
