The Georgia Health Initiative invites organizations to apply for its 2024 Building the Field of Health Advocacy grant program, which aims to improve the health of people in Georgia through advocacy projects. This grant aligns directly with the Georgia Health Initiative's mission, vision, and values by supporting non-profit partners who are advancing advocacy initiatives to bring about change at a systems level. The overarching goal is to transform processes, power structures, policies, and/or relationships that determine how resources and services are distributed, ultimately advancing health equity across the state. The target beneficiaries are Georgians, with a focus on communities and populations that stand to benefit from improved health equity. The grant program seeks to support projects that elevate community voices to educate decision-makers on important health-related issues. The impact goals are centered around creating systemic change, ensuring a more equitable distribution of health resources and services throughout Georgia. Eligible organizations must be tax-exempt public charities, state or local government agencies, or coalitions/collaboratives using a fiscal sponsor, and must work in Georgia on behalf of Georgians. The priorities and focuses of this grant program are multifaceted. It aims to identify emerging opportunities to advance health equity in Georgia at the systems level, whether locally or statewide. Another key focus is to bolster the capacity of non-profit organizations to engage in effective advocacy efforts, which includes research, policy development, coalition building and mobilization, community education, and strategic communications. Furthermore, the initiative seeks to strengthen the overall field of health advocacy in Georgia. Expected outcomes and measurable results include the successful implementation of advocacy initiatives that lead to tangible changes in systems, policies, and power structures affecting health. This could manifest as new policies enacted, improved access to services, or stronger community engagement in health decision-making processes. The grant aims to foster a more robust and effective health advocacy ecosystem in Georgia, with a greater number of capable non-profit organizations driving positive change. The Initiative anticipates investing a total of $1.2 million, with organizations able to apply for up to $75,000 for projects lasting up to 12 months, allowing for sustained and impactful advocacy work.

Notice of Funding Opportunity Description Background Although vaccines are among the most effective approaches to control viral diseases, developing a prophylactic or therapeutic HIV vaccine has proven elusive. There are no licensed vaccines for HIV. Strategies for induction of HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies will likely require repeated exposures over long periods, including immunization with distinct antigens in sequential order. Such immunization strategies will require development of technologies for controlled vaccine release. Recent advances in materials-based science, controlled release technologies, delivery systems, and immunology provide opportunities to enhance the quality, potency and durability of vaccine-induced T cell and antibody responses to HIV-1. Materials-based approaches can be engineered to improve the stability, spatiotemporal release, and presentation of multiple vaccine components; for example, by controlling the time frame and dose of vaccine delivery over days to weeks. Recent studies have shown that a slow-release vaccine is superior to bolus administration at inducing breadth, potency, and durability of antibody responses to HIV antigens by prolonging antigen exposure in the germinal centers, thereby enhancing the maturation of B cells and generating stronger humoral immune responses. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the immunological improvements observed with slow-release vaccine delivery and to translate such concepts into clinical application. It will be crucial to determine how the duration of exposure to vaccine components impacts immune cell biology, and how to calibrate vaccine release to improve responses while avoiding immune exhaustion and over-activation. Advancing safe, effective, and well-tolerated controlled release vaccines is an unmet need that may enhance vaccine effectiveness and practicality, leading to better adherence to complex regimens, fewer adverse reactions, and cost savings. Finally, iterative behavioral studies during product development to determine vaccine/provider product expectation/preferences are critical to facilitate product uptake and use.
