Reissue of RFA-MH-22-115 to comply with DMSP policy. The purpose of this Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is to encourage applications that will develop and validate novel tools to facilitate the detailed analysis and manipulation of complex circuits and provide insights into cellular interactions that underlie brain function. Critical advances in the treatment of brain disorders in human populations are hindered by our lack of ability to monitor and manipulate circuitry in safe, minimally-invasive ways. Clinical intervention with novel cell and circuit specific tools will require extensive focused research designed to remove barriers to delivery of gene therapies. In addition to identification and removal of barriers, the need to specifically target dysfunctional circuitry poses additional challenges. Neuroscience has experienced an impressive influx of exciting new research tools in the past decade, especially since the launch of the BRAIN Initiative. However, the majority of these cutting edge tools have been developed for use in model organisms, primarily rodents, fish and flies. These cutting edge tools, such as viral delivery of genetic constructs, are increasingly adaptable to large brains and more importantly are emerging as potential human therapeutic strategies for brain disorders. A pressing need to develop tools for use in large brains, more directly relevant to the human brain is the focus of this initiative. The new tools and technologies should inform and/or exploit cell-type and/or circuit-level specificity. Plans for validating the utility of the tool/technology will be an essential feature of a successful application.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to nonprofit organizations in Napa County that deliver essential services to working families and vulnerable populations facing increased needs and reduced public funding.

The Austin Community Foundation is offering grants through its Women's Fund to advance the economic mobility of women and children in the Central Texas region, encompassing Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, Burnet, and Caldwell Counties. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to address systemic barriers and provide direct services to improve the lives of these vulnerable populations. The grant program seeks to support organizations that are committed to creating lasting, positive change for women and children facing economic hardship. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are women and children with low incomes in the six-county Central Texas area. The program's impact goals are centered on increasing access to essential resources and opportunities that promote economic stability and long-term well-being. This includes fostering affordable housing solutions, expanding access to quality childcare, supporting women's educational pursuits, providing resources for unintended pregnancy prevention, and reducing health disparities, particularly for women of color. The Women's Fund has identified several key strategic areas for funding: Housing, Child Care, Education, Unintended Pregnancy Prevention, and Women's Health. Within these priorities, the foundation seeks proposals that offer both direct services and systems-level changes. This indicates a focus on both immediate relief and broader, more sustainable solutions that address the root causes of economic instability. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by investing in these critical areas, they can create an ecosystem of support that empowers women and children to overcome economic challenges and achieve greater self-sufficiency. Expected outcomes include increased access to affordable housing with support networks, expanded availability of safe and affordable childcare, improved educational attainment for women, enhanced access to unbiased pregnancy prevention resources, and a reduction in health disparities among women of color. The grant sizes range from $100,000 to $500,000 with a duration of two years, suggesting a commitment to substantial and sustained impact. Specifically, a total of $500,000 in unrestricted, general operating support will be awarded to 15 different nonprofit organizations, with individual awards for winning finalist ($55,000 total over two years), runner-up finalist ($30,000 in 2024), and semifinalist ($15,000 in 2024).
