Multi- and inter-disciplinary teams of domestic and international investigators will conduct innovative, collaborative One Health (approach that recognizes the health of humans is interconnected with that of animal health and the shared environment) based research projects and will mount a rapid and effective research response to outbreaks through coordination, collaboration, and cooperation across the CREID Network.

The PATH Foundation’s **Better Together Fund** is designed to strengthen community connections by supporting local events that bring people together in celebration, collaboration, and shared purpose. Established in 2021, the fund reflects PATH’s mission to enhance the quality of life in Virginia’s Piedmont region by fostering engagement, well-being, and unity among residents. Through this program, the foundation aims to make small but meaningful investments in events that inspire belonging and reinforce the social fabric of local communities. Eligible nonprofits and organizations operating in **Fauquier, Rappahannock, and Culpeper counties** may apply for grants of up to **$2,500 per event**. Funding can be used to support a wide variety of community-facing gatherings—such as festivals, cultural celebrations, educational activities, and other inclusive events that encourage participation and connection among local residents. The initiative is particularly focused on efforts that celebrate diversity, build relationships, and create shared experiences that strengthen the sense of community. To qualify, events must take place within one year of submission and comply with all applicable health and safety guidelines. Applicants must be recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, religious institutions, or local government entities. The program’s flexible structure allows for a broad range of creative and community-driven ideas, ensuring that small towns and neighborhoods have the opportunity to host meaningful events that align with PATH’s goal of cultivating healthier, more connected communities. While the grant duration is not specified, the funding operates on a rolling basis, emphasizing timeliness and local relevance. Events supported by the Better Together Fund are intended to be accessible, inclusive, and beneficial to the broader public rather than serving narrow organizational or private interests. The fund’s straightforward application process encourages both established and smaller community groups to apply, removing barriers for those who may not typically pursue grant funding. Through the Better Together Fund, the PATH Foundation continues to champion collaboration and social cohesion as essential pillars of community health. By investing in shared experiences that unite people across backgrounds, the foundation underscores its belief that thriving communities are built not just through infrastructure and services—but through connection, empathy, and collective joy.

The National Cancer Institute intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for pilot/exploratory research on the confluence of cancer stigma and HIV stigma in HIV-positive individuals diagnosed with cancer. This NOFO will utilize the R21 grant mechanism (clinical trial optional), which is intended to encourage exploratory/developmental research by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of project development. Up to three (3) R21 awards are expected to be funded as part of the initiative. Research projects will advance the current understanding of the confluence of cancer stigma and HIV stigma in people with HIV (PWH) diagnosed with cancer; investigate the resultant impact of these dual stigmas on cancer outcomes among PWH with cancer; and promote research in diverse domestic and international contexts, focusing on regions in which the HIV-cancer burden is elevated. Pilot interventional research, which addresses modifiable mechanisms of stigma that contribute to negative cancer outcomes among PWH with cancer, is also suitable for this funding mechanism. The NOFO is expected to be published in late Summer 2024 with an expected application due date in late Fall 2024. Details of a pre-application webinar will be announced after the publication of the NOFO. This Notice is being provided to allow sufficient time for potential applicants with relevant expertise and insights to consider applying for this NOFO. Potential applicants are encouraged to view the presentation of this initiative to the Joint Virtual Meeting of the NCI Board of Scientific Advisors and the National Cancer Advisory Board available at https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=54859 beginning at 3 hour, 39 minutes.
