Wastewater Based Epidemiology involves analyzing the chemical and biological components present in wastewater to gather information about the health and behavior of a population. Localities have used it to monitor drug consumption patterns in their communities and understand local drug usage trends. It holds promise for monitoring the emergence and geographic distribution of novel substances often referred to as emerging threats. In FY2023, the United States Government funded pilot WBE drug projects that collected wastewater samples in over 70 United States communities representing tens of millions of Americans. The samples were analyzed for parent drugs, such as fentanyl and methamphetamine, and metabolites. Researchers shared results with participating sampled communities, local and state partners, and to a limited extent, the government sponsors.

The purpose of the NINDS Research Program Award (RPA) is to provide longer-term support, and increased freedom and flexibility, to Program Directors (PDs)/Principal Investigators (PIs), to allow them to redirect their time away from the administrative burden of writing and managing multiple grant applications and towards engaging in the lab. This RPA affords investigators at most career stages the opportunity to advance their long-term research goals, rigorously explore exciting research opportunities, and mentor students and postdoctorates, which support and align with the mission of NINDS. RPAs will support the overall research programs of NINDS-funded investigators for up to 8 years, at a level commensurate with a PD/PIs recent NINDS support (Part 2, Section II). This funding stability will provide eligible investigators increased security, allowing them to undertake research projects that require a longer timeframe or to embark upon research that breaks new ground. Research activities outside of the NINDS mission, or traditionally supported by another NIH Institute or Center, will not be considered through this program. Benefits of the RPA include: A more stable funding environment, facilitating the pursuit of longer-term research goals; Flexible funding, enabling investigators to pursue research opportunities as they arise, not tied to specific aims; Reduced time spent writing grant applications and managing multiple grant awards, allowing investigators to spend more time conducting and overseeing research; More time for PDs/PIs to mentor and foster a diverse workforce in their laboratories. NINDS is committed to enhancing the diversity and inclusiveness of the neuroscience workforce. A diverse NIH-supported scientific workforce, including individuals from underrepresented groups, fosters scientific innovation, enhances global competitiveness, contributes to robust learning environments, and improves the quality of the research.

The Lola Wright Foundation is a private, non-profit charitable foundation dedicated to supporting community-based organizations. Its overarching mission is to bolster entities that are granted tax exemption under the Internal Revenue Code, Section 501(c)(3), particularly those operating primarily within a 50-mile radius of Austin, Texas. This geographic focus ensures that the Foundation's efforts are concentrated on local community development and impact, aligning its grant-making activities directly with the needs of the Austin area. The Foundation targets a diverse range of beneficiaries, including children and youth, individuals in need of public health and human services, and groups benefiting from education and community development initiatives. It also extends its support to arts and culture organizations. Specific populations like minorities, the homeless, and the elderly are explicitly mentioned as funding emphases, indicating a strategic priority to reach vulnerable and underserved segments of the community. The impact goals revolve around fostering social well-being, promoting health, supporting educational advancement, and enriching cultural life within its defined geographic area. The Foundation's priorities and focuses are clearly delineated across several key fields of interest: Children and Youth, Public Health and Human Services, Education and Community Development, and Arts and Culture. These areas represent the strategic pillars of its grant-making. The Foundation generally does not provide funding for day-to-day operating costs or expenses, preferring to support projects and initiatives that align with its broader objectives. This suggests a focus on sustainable, project-based impact rather than routine operational support. While specific expected outcomes and measurable results are not explicitly detailed as quantitative metrics in the provided text, the Foundation's theory of change appears to be rooted in strengthening community infrastructure through strategic investment in key social, health, educational, and cultural sectors. By supporting 501(c)(3) organizations, it aims to empower local groups to address pressing community needs. The restriction on reapplying for a grant for at least twelve months after receiving one suggests a desire to allow funded projects sufficient time to demonstrate impact before further consideration, promoting a cycle of focused investment and evaluation.

The Islamic Scholarship Fund (ISF) initiated the Film Grant program in 2014 with the core mission of creating a stronger narrative of Muslim stories and supporting Muslim filmmakers. This aligns directly with ISF's broader goal of changing the narrative and empowering Muslim voices. Since its inception, the program has grown significantly, awarding $510,000 to promising filmmakers and cultivating a pipeline of over 96 American Muslim filmmakers, demonstrating a clear commitment to fostering talent within the community. The grant specifically targets emerging Muslim filmmakers who are creating artistic, engaging, and positive stories about their community. This focus on emerging talent aims to diversify storytelling and empower new voices within the film industry. The program's impact goals include not only providing financial support but also offering crucial mentorship and networking opportunities from industry professionals, thereby contributing to the long-term career advancement and success of grant recipients. The program prioritizes projects that are either narrative or documentary, and it supports various formats including feature-length films, short films, and animation (web series are not accepted). Key focuses for eligibility include that the filmmaker must be a U.S. citizen, at least one member of the creative team (producer or director) must be Muslim, and the content must feature American Muslim characters or themes. Additionally, at least 50% of the project must be filmed in the U.S., emphasizing the grant's commitment to American Muslim storytelling. Expected outcomes of the ISF Film Grant include the production of high-quality films that offer positive and authentic portrayals of American Muslim experiences. Measurable results include the number of grants awarded (ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 per category), the provision of creative support, and the facilitation of networking opportunities. The ISF also organizes screenings after film completion, providing a platform for visibility and audience engagement. This comprehensive approach reflects ISF's strategic priority of cultural empowerment through media, aiming to shift perceptions and build understanding through the power of storytelling.
