Rapid advances in genotyping and next generation sequencing technologies have led to the identification of genetic variants that are associated with a wide variety of congenital defects including structural birth defects (SBDs), intellectual developmental disabilities (IDDs) and inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). Large quantities of genomic data collected from pediatric birth defects cohorts are available to the research community through several databases such as the Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP), the Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource Portal, the European Genome-Phenome Archive and Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen). The purpose of this initiative is to promote the screening, functional validation and characterization of birth defects-associated genetic variants identified through public facing databases and individual efforts using in-silico tools, appropriate animal models, in vitro systems or multi-pronged approaches. This initiative addresses a challenging gap between identifying sequence variations of potential interest and recognizing which of those variations have functional effects on the phenotype of interest.

CDC announces availability of fiscal year 2024 funding for a cooperative agreement for Cycle 5 of the STD Surveillance Network (SSuN). Continuing resurgence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), along with the imperative to implement syndemic approaches to disease surveillance addressing related epidemics such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Mpox (Orthopox virus previously referred to as monkeypox) inform this competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) which will support integrated sentinel and enhanced surveillance at the local, state, and national level. Emergent issues of concern such as Mpox and antimicrobial resistant STIs add urgency to the maintenance of robust syndemic surveillance at the community level and in sexual health clinical settings. The purpose of this NOFO is to support sentinel and enhanced surveillance for STDs providing complete demographics, behavioral risk, clinical and preventive services data missing in routine reporting. Sentinel clinic surveillance, enhanced investigations of reported cases, and special projects funded by this NOFO will provide epidemiologic and preventive services information filling gaps in knowledge regarding STI prevention priorities. These data improve the ability of public health agencies to address STI/HIV health equity outcomes and syndemic interactions in populations with shared risks.This NOFO supports two core strategies for (A) sentinel surveillance in sexual health clinical facilities, and (B) enhanced case-based surveillance in community settings. Both core strategies integrate a syndemic approach to monitoring STIs, HIV, behavioral data, and on preventive services accessed by all persons presenting for care in sexual health settings, and persons diagnosed and reported with selected STIs from all provider settings in defined geographic areas. The goal of this NOFO is to monitor and report trends in patient characteristics, screening, and diagnoses to identify opportunities and gaps across the STI/HIV prevention continuum. Protocols are designed to address critical information gaps in routine national case reporting and incorporate local flexibility to respond to emergent health issues by supporting a network of geographically diverse health departments and an expanded network of clinical partners. These efforts complement existing state, local and national surveillance strategies and enhance the capacity of health departments to collect high-quality, timely data to inform disease prevention and control activities.

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support the development of Clinical Outcome Assessments (COA) for Substance Use Disorders (SUD). The COA development plan is expected to progress into the FDA drug development tool qualification program. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) utilizes the UG3/UH3Phased Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement grant mechanism that includes two phases. The applications responding to this NOFO should contain a COA development plan that will cover both UG3 and UH3 phases. In the first 2-year UG3 phasethe project must have a set of operational milestones to be completed by the end of this period. Once NIDA program has evaluated the progress of the UG3 phase and determined that the UG3 phase has been successfully completed, it transitions to the UH3 phase to be funded for three additional years.The goal of this NOFO is to expand the armamentarium of COA that are FDA qualified as drug development tool (DDT) in the context of use (COI) of a SUD. Achieving this goal will greatly facilitate the development of treatments for SUDs. 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.
