The Rhode Island Foundation's Program for Animal Welfare is a grant initiative designed to promote and provide humane treatment for animals across Rhode Island. This program aligns directly with the Foundation's broader mission to take a leading role on animal welfare issues, leveraging thirteen special funds dedicated to the humane treatment and protection of animals. These collective funds underscore the Foundation's strategic priority to address animal welfare comprehensively, reflecting a theory of change that posits that targeted financial support can significantly improve animal well-being at both statewide and community levels. The primary beneficiaries of this program are organizations in Rhode Island that actively work to promote and/or provide humane treatment of animals. This includes organizations focused generally on animal welfare, as well as those with specific projects or programs. The overarching impact goal is to create a positive impact statewide or in individual communities regarding the care, shelter, and maintenance of animals, education about their humane treatment, and general animal welfare. The program specifically excludes individuals from grant eligibility, focusing its resources on established organizations. The program's priorities and focuses are clearly defined. It supports initiatives that improve animal care, shelter, and maintenance, as well as educational efforts that promote humane treatment. Previously funded programs, such as statewide humane education efforts and low-cost spay and neuter initiatives, serve as examples of the types of projects the Foundation prioritizes. The Foundation is also open to considering capital projects, demonstrating a flexible approach to supporting the infrastructure necessary for effective animal welfare work. Expected outcomes include a measurable improvement in animal welfare conditions across Rhode Island, an increase in community awareness regarding humane treatment of animals, and a reduction in issues related to animal neglect or mistreatment. By funding programs like spay and neuter initiatives, the Foundation anticipates a direct impact on controlling animal populations and improving overall animal health. Through humane education, the program aims to foster a more compassionate and responsible community towards animals, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the quality of life for animals throughout the state.

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support the research and development necessary to advance non-invasive (e.g., quantitative tomography-based) technologies, including the development of apparatus, methods, study designs, and methods of data analysis, to characterize and compare the rate and extent to which a topically applied drug becomes available at or near a site of action within the skin in vivo. The expectation is that the funded work will produce an accurate, sensitive and reproducible approach that rapidly measures the (relative) amount of drug present in the skin at a series of depths below the skin surface, which can be utilized to monitor the cutaneous pharmacokinetics (PK) of the drug at selected depths (e.g., in the epidermis) by repeated, serial measurements over time. The intent is to support the eventual development of an alternative, scientifically valid, in vivo cutaneous PK-based approach that can be used to efficiently demonstrate the bioequivalence (BE) of topical products.

The purpose of the funding opportunity is to expand and advance FDA's Office of Minority Health and Health Equity (OMHHE) work with stakeholders and partners for education, outreach, and public awareness activities on potential risks from skin lightening products containing hydroquinone and/or mercury.Applicants will research and propose innovative and community-based strategies and activities that have the potential to strengthen the science base for education and public health awareness on the use of and potential risks from over-the-counter (OTC) skin lightening products.

The Green Transportation Capital Grant Program, administered by the Washington State Department of Transportation, aims to fund cost-effective capital projects for transit authorities. Its core mission is to reduce the carbon intensity of Washington's transportation system, aligning with broader climate action efforts supported by the state's Climate Commitment Act (CCA). The CCA's strategic priority is to decrease climate pollution, create jobs, and enhance public health, making this grant a direct mechanism to achieve these goals by investing in sustainable transportation solutions. The primary beneficiaries of this program are transit agencies within Washington state, including various city, county, metropolitan, public, unincorporated, regional, and special purpose district transit systems. The impact goals are centered on transforming public transportation infrastructure to be more environmentally friendly. This includes the electrification of transit vehicle fleets and the development of necessary supporting infrastructure, such as charging and fueling stations, and associated electrical system upgrades. The program prioritizes capital projects that directly contribute to fleet electrification and the transition to zero-emission transportation. Eligible projects encompass the acquisition of battery and fuel cell-operated electric vehicles, modification of facilities for electrification or hydrogen refueling, and the construction of new facilities that primarily support electrified fleets. Additionally, it covers essential upgrades to electrical transmission and distribution systems, in-house staff managing capital construction, and property rights acquisition for these projects. The expected outcomes and measurable results include a significant reduction in carbon emissions from the Washington transportation sector, directly contributing to the state's climate goals. Historically, the program has awarded between $12 million and $50 million per biennium, indicating a substantial investment in achieving these outcomes. The project period for most applications is two years (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2027), with construction projects potentially extending to four years, allowing for tangible progress in transitioning to green transportation.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for new researchers from diverse backgrounds to conduct small-scale health-related studies, helping them advance towards independent research careers.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for Diabetes Research Centers (DRCs) that are designed to support and enhance the national research effort in diabetes, its complications, and related endocrine and metabolic diseases. The purpose of this Centers program is to bring together basic and clinical investigators to enhance communication, multidisciplinary collaboration, and effectiveness of ongoing research in Diabetes Research Center topic areas. By providing shared access to specialized technical resources (research cores) and supporting a Pilot and Feasibility Program (P and F), DRCs are intended to create an environment that provides the capability for accomplishments greater than those that would be possible by individual research project grant support alone. New Center programs that bring in diverse perspectives, propose unique scientific themes, or provide innovative resources are encouraged. Emphasis will be placed on Center programs that propose enhanced synergies with other NIDDK-funded programs as well as providing a rich mentoring environment for future diabetes researchers. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material.
