The purpose of this NOFO is to implement and evaluate PrEPmate, a mobile health (mHealth) intervention to increase HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) adherence and retention in PrEP care among young men who have sex with men (collectively referred to as YMSM) and transgender women of color. PrEPmate features youth-tailored interactive content, reminders (e.g., clinic appointments, prescription refills, and dosing reminders), short message service (SMS) for PrEP clinic patients and clinical providers, and a dashboard that may be integrated into electronic medical records (EMR) or as a stand-alone digital patient monitoring system. The recipient will facilitate implementation of the PrEPmate intervention at three clinical sites located in the southern region of the United States, where there is increased HIV disease burden. The recipient will monitor and evaluate how a mHealth intervention is integrated into the delivery of clinical services to improve PrEP adherence and retention in care. Evaluation will be conducted using a mixed-method approach involving EMR reviews and interviews with agency staff that implement PrEPmate. The project's primary outcomes include increased PrEP medication adherence and retention in PrEP care among patients and increased adaptability and sustainability among clinical providers. A secondary outcome will be the identification of best practices and lessons learned for implementing PrEPmate in clinics serving YMSM and transgender women of color.

The Tarrant Foundation awards between 50 – 70 competitive grants annually. Because we believe we can have the most impact by concentrating these funds in Vermont, applications are accepted only from Vermont organizations. Seniors: Comfort and Dignity in Aging We believe in ensuring that seniors’ most basic needs are met, and in community-based supports that promote wellbeing and fight the premature limitation of independence. Our focus includes: independent living, nutrition, and activity & enrichment.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in conducting interventional clinical trials aimed at improving health outcomes, providing resources for trial preparation and execution.

This funding opportunity supports researchers conducting feasibility trials of mind and body interventions for high-priority health conditions, aiming to gather essential data for future large-scale clinical studies.

This funding opportunity provides support for researchers conducting early-stage clinical trials focused on innovative interventions for vision disorders that involve greater than minimal risk.

The Alliance’s Housing Fund provides capital funds for building, renovating, and furnishing permanent housing units, as well as establishing recuperative care facilities and short-term post-hospitalization housing units. This initiative operates across the Alliance's service area, reflecting a core belief that "housing is health care." The program directly aligns with the foundation's mission to improve health outcomes by addressing social determinants of health, particularly stable housing, for Medi-Cal members. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are Medi-Cal members residing in the Alliance’s service areas. The fund aims to expand both temporary and permanent housing opportunities, directly impacting individuals who require stable living conditions for improved health and recovery. The overarching impact goal is to enhance the health and well-being of Medi-Cal members by providing access to safe and appropriate housing solutions. The grant prioritizes projects in Mariposa, Merced, Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties, which are the specific areas where Letters of Intent (LOIs) are currently being accepted. This is a one-time funding opportunity with a focus on projects that can be completed within a maximum timeline of 39 months. The program's strategic focus is on expanding housing access to address health disparities within these communities. Expected outcomes include an increase in the number of available permanent housing units, recuperative care facilities, and post-hospitalization housing options. Measurable results will likely be tracked through the number of units developed or renovated, the number of individuals served, and the duration of project completion within the 39-month timeframe. The foundation's theory of change posits that by investing in housing, they can directly contribute to better health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs for Medi-Cal members.

Applications must be submitted via VA Grants Management System and not grants.gov. For more information about how to apply, go to www.mentalhealth.va.gov/smr. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is announcing the availability of funds for Cooperative Agreements (CA) establishing Suicide Mortality Review (SMR) processes and SMR committees (SMRC). Awards made for SMR-CA are anticipated to be funded by September 30, 2024. This is anticipated to be a one-year award with an optional one-year extension possible. This opportunity supports States, territories, and Tribal entities in establishing, coordinating, and managing SMRCs to identify and characterize suicide deaths and support the capacity to develop and implement data-informed strategies to prevent suicide, including suicide among veterans. These SMR-CAs aim to establish and increase the capacity of States, territories, and Tribes to collect high-quality uniform suicide death data, expand suicide death reviews, and ultimately translate data into suicide prevention actions at community, State, territorial, Tribal, and national levels. States, territories, and Tribes may identify key counties, cities, municipalities, or other political subdivisions in their own jurisdictions with whom they wish to coordinate for local SMRC development and implementation.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for new and underrepresented researchers in the health sciences to conduct projects aligned with the missions of NIAID or NIDDK.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages studies that develop and test the effectiveness of strategies for implementation and sustainable delivery of evidence-based mental health treatments and services to improve mental health outcomes for underserved populations in under-resourced settings in the United States. Studies should identify and use innovative approaches to remediate barriers to provision, receipt, and/or benefit from evidence-based practices (EBPs) and generate new information about factors integral to achieving equity in mental health outcomes for underserved populations. Research generating new information about factors causing/reducing disparities are strongly encouraged, including due consideration of the needs of individuals across the life span.

Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to stimulate translation of scientific discoveries and engineering developments in imaging, data science and/or spectroscopic technologies into methods or tools that address contemporary problems in understanding the fundamental biology, potential risk of development, diagnosis, treatment, and/or disease status for cancer or other disease.
