The purpose of this NIDCD initiative is to encourage research in the development, characterization, and reproducibility/reliability of human auditory and vestibular organoids.Applications investigating animal organoids are allowable but only if accompanying comparative or other integrated companion studies with human organoids. Singular animal organoid studies alone are not responsive to this funding opportunity. This funding opportunity encourages innovative, reproducible, and novel methodologies and technologies that will drive the reproducibility and holistic longevity of hearing/balance sensory organoids as model systems. The development of novel tools to deliver genes, proteins, molecules, and synthetics that might lead to the successful expansion and longer-term survivability of organoid populations in a stable, reliable, and reproducible manner is highly encouraged. Subsequent characterization of the organoid platforms must be shown to mimic and recapitulate the native correlative biological function. Applications that provide approaches that remove current barriers and lessen challenges to improve current reproducibility and stability are highly encouraged. Applications that have breakthrough approaches and technologies using human auditory/vestibular organoids are highly encouraged.

The Posey County Community Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2024 Community Good Grants Program. This program aims to support a broad range of community needs within Posey County, Indiana, aligning with the Foundation's mission to foster overall community well-being. By offering these grants, the Foundation seeks to invest in initiatives that enhance the quality of life for residents and address critical local issues. The program targets nonprofit organizations deemed tax-exempt under sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as governmental agencies serving Posey County. Additionally, nonprofit organizations not classified as a 501(c)(3) public charity may be considered if their projects are charitable and support a community need, potentially requiring a fiscal sponsor. The ultimate beneficiaries are the residents of Posey County, who will benefit from the projects funded across various program areas. The Community Good Grants Program focuses on several key areas for funding, including Arts and Culture, Community Development, Education, Health, Human Services, and Other Civic Endeavors, which encompass Environment, Recreation, and Youth Development. These priorities reflect the Foundation's strategic approach to addressing diverse community needs and fostering a well-rounded and thriving environment within the county. The program specifically excludes funding for religious organizations for religious purposes, political parties or campaigns, endowment creation or debt reduction, capital campaigns, annual appeals or membership contributions, and travel requests for groups or individuals. While specific expected outcomes and measurable results are not explicitly detailed, the Foundation's theory of change appears to be rooted in a belief that by supporting a wide array of charitable endeavors, it can incrementally improve various facets of community life. The broad program areas suggest an intent to create a ripple effect of positive change, from fostering cultural enrichment and educational advancements to promoting better health outcomes and a more vibrant civic landscape. The Foundation's strategic priority is to empower local organizations to implement projects that directly respond to the identified needs and opportunities within Posey County.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks innovative grant applications in nonmalignant hematology research that will steer the field in new directions. Applications to this FOA should propose proof of principle research that is tightly focused into one specific aim, which can be accomplished within a 1-3 year project period, and is directed at validating novel concepts and approaches that promise to open new pathways for discovery.The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) have joined together to build research activities in nonmalignant hematology. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to promote innovative research projects in nonmalignant hematology that explore high impact and new directions of inquiry. While each Institute shares interests in nonmalignant hematology research, they also bring different perspectives, thereby expanding the scope of the SHINE II program beyond a single Institute's research mission. This "New Directions in Hematology Research (SHINE-II)" program invites investigator-initiated grant applications for basic or early translational, proof of principle research projects that are tightly focused and directed at validating novel concepts and approaches that promise to advance new pathways for discovery. This program may include clinical research involving human subjects that is directed at understanding disease pathogenesis and prognosis. Research applications submitted under this FOA should be more limited in scope (single aim with sub-aims, as appropriate) and duration (1-3 years) than typical R01 grant applications. The SHINE-II FOA seeks specifically to promote and support new directions of research in their early stages. Applications submitted to this FOA should include preliminary data that support the conceptual basis of the research proposed and the technical approaches to be used. Moreover, while research applications submitted under this FOA are expected to be more limited in scope and shorter in duration than typical R01 applications, achievement of the research objective(s) proposed should validate novel pathways of discovery and provide the basis for future high impact research endeavors. Principal areas of interest for this collaborative FOA include: (1) hematopoietic stem cell biology, (2) lineage fate determinants, (3) aging-related immune dysfunction and lymphocyte biology, (4) myeloid cell biology, and myelopoiesis, (5) platelet biology and dysfunction, (6) erythroid cell biology and erythropoiesis, (7) the molecular biology of heme and hemoglobin, (8) acquired and congenital disorders of red blood cell production and survival leading to chronic anemia or bone marrow failure, (9) and the uptake, utilization, storage, and transport of iron in health and disease. Inquiries to Scientific/Research staff prior to submission of an application to this FOA are strongly encouraged to discuss programmatic relevance and potential time tables for funding (see below, Section VII. Agency Contacts). The limited scope and shorter duration of the SHINE II R01 are not optimal for Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) and New Investigators (NIs), who should contact Scientific/Research staff prior to submission of an application to this FOA.

The purpose of this program is to enhance Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations capacity to implement core Public Health functions, services, and activities, and to further develop and improve their Public Health management capabilities. As part of the IHS mission to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level, this program seeks to build on and strengthen community resilience by supporting wider access to the 10 Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) in Indian Country, a framework designed to offer all people a fair and just opportunity to achieve optimal health and well-being. For more information on the EPHS, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/publichealthgateway/publichealthservices/essentialhealthservices.html. The framework of the EPHS has served as a guide to the public health field since 1994 and describes the public health activities that all communities should undertake, including, 1) monitor health status to identify and solve community health problems, and 2) Diagnose and investigate health problems and health hazards in the community. The EPHS framework was revised in 2020 with an emphasis on equity and reflects current and future priorities for public health practice. The EPHS have been included in the HHS Healthy People initiatives since 2010, when the initiative first included a focus area of Public Health Infrastructure with the goal to ensure that Federal, Tribal, State, and local health agencies have the infrastructure to provide essential public health services effectively.
