The purpose of the NIH Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24) is to provide support to mid-career health-professional doctorates for protected time to devote to patient-oriented research (POR) and to act as research mentors primarily for clinical residents, clinical fellows and/or junior clinical faculty. Section I. Funding Opportunity Description The overall goal of the NIH Research Career Development program is to help ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists is available in appropriate scientific disciplines to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) support a variety of mentored and non-mentored career development award programs designed to foster the transition of new investigators to research independence and to support established investigators in achieving specific objectives. Candidates should review the different career development (K) award programs to determine the best program to support their goals. More information about Career programs may be found at the NIH Extramural Training Mechanisms website. The NIH Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24) is designed to enable mid-career clinician-scientists to: Devote more time to augment their capabilities in Patient-Oriented Research (POR); and Provide mentoring to junior clinical investigators in the conduct of POR (see below for definition). The K24 award is intended to provide protected time to mid-career clinical investigators to provide mentoring to junior clinical investigators, particularly K23 grantees, in POR and to stabilize the careers of these investigators. The intent is to allow these investigators to continue to conduct POR and be available as mentors in POR. It is expected that K24 recipients will obtain new or additional independent, peer-reviewed funding for POR as PD/PI and establish and assume leadership roles in collaborative POR programs. In addition, it is expected that there will be an increased effort and commitment to act as a mentor to beginning clinician investigators in POR to enhance the research productivity of both the K24 investigator and increase the pool of well-trained clinical researchers of the future. For the purposes of the K24 award, Patient-Oriented Research is defined as research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. This area of research includes: (1) mechanisms of human disease; (2) therapeutic interventions; (3) clinical trials, and; (4) the development of new technologies. Excluded from this definition are in vitro studies that utilize human tissues but do not deal directly with patients. In other words, patient-oriented research is research in which it is necessary to know the identity of the patients from whom the cells or tissues under study are derived. Studies falling under Exemption 4 for human subjects research are not included in this definition. See also the NIH Director's Panel on Clinical Research Report. NIH defines a clinical trial as "A research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioral outcomes." (NOT-OD-15-015). NIH not only supports trials of safety and efficacy, it also supports mechanistic exploratory studies that meet the definition of a clinical trial and are designed to explore or understand a biological or behavioral process, the pathophysiology of a disease, or the mechanism of action of an intervention. These studies may focus on basic and/or translational discovery research in healthy human subjects and in human subjects who are affected by the pathophysiology of diseases and disorders. By addressing basic questions and concepts in biology, behavior, and pathophysiology, these studies may provide insight into understanding human diseases and disorders along with potential treatments or preventive strategies. NIH also supports biomarker studies that meet the definition of a clinical trial and that may provide information about physiological function, target engagement of novel therapeutics, and/or the impact of therapeutics on treatment response. NIH thus supports studies that meet the definition of clinical trials (as noted above) but do not seek to establish safety, clinical efficacy, effectiveness, clinical management, and/or implementation of preventive, therapeutic, and services interventions. Note: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary clinical trial, as part of their research and career development. Applicants not planning an independent clinical trial, or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, must apply to companion FOA Special Note: Because of the differences in individual Institute and Center (IC) program requirements for this FOA, prospective candidates are strongly encouraged to consult the Table of IC-Specific Information, Requirements and Staff Contacts, to make sure that their application is appropriate for the requirements of one of the participating NIH ICs. See Section VIII. Other Information for award authorities and regulations. Section II.

Johnson County is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Permanent Supportive Housing, specifically designed for households with children. The program aims to reduce barriers to housing and promote housing stability through trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and interdisciplinary services. These services must effectively engage families with complex needs, being comprehensive, coordinated, readily accessible, and family-centered. A key focus of this RFP is to demonstrate racial equity in the provision of proposed services, aligning with a mission to address systemic inequalities in housing access and stability. The target beneficiaries for this program are families experiencing repeated and/or chronic homelessness, with incomes at or below 30% of the area median income as defined by HUD at the time of entering housing. This population often faces multiple barriers to housing stability, including poverty, brain health disorders, substance use, and other chronic health conditions. The program's impact goals are to provide housing stability for these families, ultimately leading to other positive outcomes beyond just housing, such as improved health and overall well-being. The program prioritizes a Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) model, which combines affordable housing with voluntary support services. This intervention is a proven successful model in providing housing stability for families experiencing long-term homelessness. The expected outcomes include a reduction in repeated and chronic homelessness for the target population, as well as improved housing stability. Measurable results would likely include tracking the number of families housed, the length of time families remain housed, and improvements in associated social and health indicators. Funding of up to $220,000 will be awarded annually under this RFP, with the possibility of renewal for up to three years. The contract term is from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. Eligible organizations are nonprofit organizations providing services in and for Johnson County residents. This initiative reflects a strategic priority of Johnson County to support its vulnerable populations through a comprehensive and equity-focused approach to housing, embodying a theory of change that by providing stable housing and robust support services, long-term homelessness can be effectively combated and families can achieve greater overall well-being.
