The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), invites grant applications for Education and Research Centers (ERCs) that are focused on occupational safety and health training. NIOSH is mandated to provide an adequate supply of qualified personnel to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the ERCs are one of the principal means for meeting this mandate. ERCs are academic institutions that provide high-quality interdisciplinary graduate and post-graduate training, research training, continuing education, and outreach in the core occupational safety and health disciplines of industrial hygiene, occupational health nursing, occupational medicine, and occupational safety, as well as allied disciplines. Research and research training are integral components of ERCs, with ERC faculty and NIOSH trainees conducting research on issues related to the NIOSH National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) and emerging issues to advance the field of occupational safety and health. NIOSH ERCs have regional presence to further diversify the occupational safety and health profession through their core values, mission statements and outputs. ERCs serve as resources for our nation's workforce through continuing education, outreach and strong collaboration with professional associations, worker advocacy groups, businesses, industries, and public health agencies. ERCs work with other institutions and organizations, including Minority Serving Institutions and other NIOSH supported training programs to have a positive impact on worker health, safety, and well-being.

The purpose of the Health Financing Activity (HFA) is to improve access to equitable and quality health services and prevent catastrophic health expenditure through increased resources for health, efficient allocation and utilization, and enhanced financial risk protection in alignment with Ethiopias overall aim of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through Primary Health Care (PHC) by 2035. Health care financing reform in Ethiopia, initiated in 1998, aimed to improve the quality and equity of health services. The strategy focused on increasing resources for health care, promoting efficiency, and ensuring long-term sustainability through multiple financing mechanisms. Key interventions included revenue retention at health facilities, a fee-waiver system, standardized exemption services, and the introduction of health insurance schemes. These reforms have significantly improved health service delivery and financial protection for citizens. USAIDs investments in healthcare financing reform are largely focused on strengthening and institutionalizing health care financing (HCF) functions and systems to support universal health coverage of quality primary health care (PHC) services for Ethiopian citizens with reduced financial barriers. The HFA will build upon the lessons derived from previous USAID Ethiopia Health Care financing reform initiatives, including the recent five-year Health Financing Improvement Program (HFIP). The expected outcomes will be evidence-based and objectively measured through the progress made in the country's capacity to achieve sufficient, equitable, sustainable, and efficient financing for universal healthcare coverage.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the RNA Modifications Driving Oncogenesis (RNAMoDO) Initiative. It aims to promote mechanistic research in the emerging area of RNA modifications that drive oncogenesis, with a focus on the central role of RNA modifications in translational reprogramming of cancer cells. RNA modifications have been recognized to exert a substantial impact on gene expression and function and their de-regulation has been linked to the cancer phenotype. In particular, recent insights point to a crucial role for mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA modifications in translational reprogramming during tumor initiation, progression, and adaptation to therapy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this reshaping of the translatome caused by dynamic changes in RNA modifications, and especially the interplay between different RNA modifications within and across RNA molecules during translation, are not understood and represent the focus of this initiative. Historically, the research community has largely pursued investigations of RNA modifications by studying single RNA species and modification types. However, elucidating how dysregulation of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA modifications reprograms translation to drive oncogenesis is not likely feasible for any single research laboratory, but will require the combination of expertise in mRNA, tRNA and rRNA biology, translational regulation, and cancer research. To stimulate progress in this emerging field, the RNAMoDO program will support collaborative research projects, preferably using an MPI structure, on how modifications in mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA molecules can drive the oncogenic process through translational reprogramming. To be responsive to the NOFO, each project will also explore the impact of interactions between modifications residing on the same or different RNA molecules during translation. This Notice of Intent to Publish (NOITP) is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO is expected to be published in the early Fall of 2024, with an expected application due date in November 2024. The NOFO will utilize the U01 mechanism for Research Project Cooperative Agreement (Clinical Trial Not Allowed). Potential applicants are encouraged to view the presentation of this initiative to the NCI Board of Scientific Advisors (BSA), available at: (https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=54423) beginning at 1 hour, 32 minutes, 52 seconds. Presentation slides are downloadable at https://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/advisory/bsa/0324/Maas.pdf.

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nations biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs.The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. To accomplish the stated overarching goal, this FOA will provide support to recipients of Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) for creative educational activities with a primary focus on research experiences designed to ensure that the participants receive exposure to the scientific and operational principles underlying each step of the translational process so that they can apply these principles to clinical and translational science research areas such as: 1) pre-clinical research, 2) clinical research, 3) clinical implementation, and 4) public health.
