This notice announces the opportunity for health centers funded by HRSA under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act to apply for funding under Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Quality Improvement Fund Transitions in Care for Justice-Involved Populations (QIF-TJI). The purpose of this funding opportunity is to strengthen transitions in care for individuals who will soon be released from incarceration, increasing their access to community-based, high-quality primary care services. Through this one-time investment, health centers will build upon existing evidence-based models to pilot innovative approaches that connect or reconnect justice-involved individuals reentering the community (JI-R) to in-scope health center services that address critical health and health-related social needs. FY 2025 QIF-TJI award recipients will pilot models of care that increase access to and engagement with health center services for JI-R individuals as they prepare for release from incarceration and return to living in the community. Your proposed QIF-TJI activities must align with the Health Center Program Scope of Project Policy Manual (Scope Policy Manual). A list of in-scope services for JI-R individuals is included in Appendix C. Carceral authorities are obligated to provide medical care to incarcerated individuals within the carceral setting. Health centers may not use QIF-TJI funding to replace the obligations of carceral authorities to provide medical care or for any activities that are not specifically focused on engaging JI-R individuals with health center community-based primary health care to support transitions in care. In addition, health centers cannot use QIF-TJI funding to provide medical care to individuals who are more than 90 days from scheduled or expected release from incarceration or activities that are not aligned with associated guidance in this NOFO and its appendices. For more details, see Program Requirements and Recommendations.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is publishing this Request for Information (RFI) to obtain information and inputs from all capable and interested entities for the anticipated USAID Malaria Vector Control Activity designed to identify and implement proven, evidence-based vector control approaches in Tanzania, in support of reducing the overall malaria burden, and moving Tanzania closer to malaria elimination. The purpose of the activity is to identify and implement proven, evidence-based vector control approaches in Tanzania, in support of reducing the overall malaria burden, and moving Tanzania closer to malaria elimination. This activity does not include implementation of indoor residual spraying (IRS) or larval source management. The activity has three primary components: (1) Insecticide-treated mosquito net (ITN) distribution, (2) Social and behavior change (SBC) for ITN use and other vector control interventions, and (3) Entomology Monitoring, and use of data to provide quality technical expertise to the Government of Tanzania and malaria partners on technical guidance concerning new developments in vector control, and as appropriate, develop plans for implementation of modified or new vector control approaches in Tanzania.

The Multipurpose Drainage Management grant program, offered by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), aims to provide financial assistance for projects and practices that control water volume and rates. This program aligns with the broader mission of protecting infrastructure, improving water quality, and delivering related public benefits, while also mitigating climate change impacts. It serves as a competitive grant opportunity, with $900,000 available in FY24, to support multipurpose drainage management activities. The program's core objective is to reduce critical pollution in source areas, thereby decreasing erosion and sedimentation, lessening peak flows and flooding, and enhancing water quality. Simultaneously, it seeks to preserve drainage system efficiency and lower maintenance requirements for priority Chapter 103E drainage systems. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are Chapter 103E drainage authorities, including County, Joint County Boards, or Watershed Districts, and Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs). The program strongly encourages partnerships between these entities to apply for and utilize the grant funds effectively. Local governments, such as counties, watershed districts, watershed management organizations, and SWCDs, are also eligible if they are operating under current State-approved and locally adopted water management plans. Municipalities can qualify if they have an approved water plan or adopted a comprehensive watershed management plan. Counties in the seven-county metropolitan area are eligible if they have adopted a county groundwater plan or a county comprehensive plan approved by the Metropolitan Council. The impact goals are centered on comprehensive water resource management, aiming for widespread environmental and infrastructural improvements across Minnesota. The grant program prioritizes a range of activities, including structural and non-structural practices and projects, project support, and grant management and reporting. Technical and engineering assistance is considered an essential component of eligible activities, to be factored into the total project or practice cost. The focus is explicitly on multipurpose drainage management practices that target specific pollution sources. By doing so, the program aims to address multiple environmental challenges simultaneously, such as reducing the physical degradation of land through erosion, preventing widespread water damage from flooding, and improving the overall ecological health of water bodies. This integrated approach ensures that interventions are holistic and yield compounded benefits. Expected outcomes from the funded projects include a measurable reduction in erosion and sedimentation, which will contribute to clearer waterways and healthier aquatic ecosystems. A decrease in peak flows and flooding is anticipated, leading to enhanced protection for infrastructure and agricultural lands, thereby reducing economic losses associated with water damage. Critically, the program expects a tangible improvement in water quality, which has direct public health and environmental benefits. Furthermore, by improving drainage system efficiency and reducing maintenance needs for Chapter 103E drainage systems, the program aims to create more sustainable and cost-effective water management solutions for the long term. These measurable results collectively support the strategic priorities of BWSR in fostering responsible water stewardship and resilience against climate change impacts.

The ITP ASH 2024 grant initiative, offered by SANOFI, is designed to identify and fund projects that aim to close significant healthcare gaps related to the treatment and management of Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP). ITP is a rare blood disorder characterized by a significantly reduced platelet count, leading to a heightened risk of bleeding and serious health complications such as thrombosis and hematologic malignancy. The chronic nature of ITP often results in a diminished quality of life for patients, manifesting in anxiety, fatigue, and depression due to ongoing concerns about bleeding risks and ineffective current therapies. SANOFI is particularly interested in supporting educational and therapeutic strategies that promise to enhance the clinical handling of ITP, focusing on innovative treatment methodologies and educational activities that can lead to improved patient outcomes. Proposals are invited for projects including, but not limited to, live symposiums at medical conferences, enduring materials for broader educational reach, and both accredited and non-accredited Independent Medical Education (IME) activities. A budget cap of $425,000 is set for the grant, with a strong preference for proposals that incorporate evidence-based approaches and demonstrate potential to address knowledge gaps among healthcare providers, thus improving treatment practices.
