Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Data Integration, Systems, and Quality Technical Assistance (DISQ) is a national training and technical assistance (T/TA) program to support RWHAP recipients and subrecipients. It funds activities to increase access to high-quality HIV care and support services for low-income people with HIV in the United States. The DISQ program develops and disseminates T/TA to help RWHAP recipients and subrecipients develop and implement data collection activities related to HIV care. This program will improve RWHAP recipients and subrecipients capacity to meet data-related program requirements and help them use data to make their programs more efficient and effective. We will award one cooperative agreement to a technical assistance provider. This provider will be responsible for on-site and virtual T/TA to RWHAP recipients and subrecipients.

The Supporting Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Screening and Intervention program helps reduce alcohol use during pregnancy and improves outcomes for children with FASD nationwide, especially in communities where theres a high rate of binge drinking during pregnancy. The program focuses on educating Primary Care Providers (PCPs) and increasing the use of screening, intervention, and referral processes for high-risk pregnancies. The programs goals include increasing PCPs knowledge of the risks of drinking alcohol during pregnancy as well as promoting recommended screenings, interventions, and referral approaches. In addition, PCPs who provide health care to children and adolescents will develop skills to identify and manage FASD, with a particular emphasis on fostering effective communication with families. Through recruitment, education, and technical assistance, the program aims to make lasting positive changes. Engaging a minimum of 80 practices over 5 years, the Supporting FASD Screening and Intervention program strives for widespread impact, particularly in communities that have high rates of binge drinking during pregnancy, including rural areas and medically underserved communities.

This funding opportunity is designed to support researchers investigating the connections between HIV/AIDS and various health issues related to diabetes, digestive, kidney, and metabolic diseases, particularly focusing on the complications and social factors affecting people living with HIV.

The "Engineering Durable HIV Vaccine Responses (ENDURE)" grant aims to fund research that explores the factors influencing the longevity of vaccine responses, with a focus on HIV, in order to improve vaccine design and development, and to devise better methods for measuring long-term immune responses.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages pilot and preliminary research in preparation for larger-scale services research effectiveness trials. Relevant trials may test a wide range of approaches, including interventions, practices, and policies designed to optimize access to, and the quality, effectiveness, affordability and utilization of drug, tobacco, or alcohol use disorder treatments and related services, as well as services for comorbid medical and mental disorder conditions. Relevant approaches may include both those that are novel, and those that are commonly used in practice but lack an evidence base. This FOA provides resources for assessing the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of these approaches, in addition to usual trial preparation activities.

This funding opportunity supports research projects that utilize existing cancer epidemiology cohort data to investigate important questions about cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship, particularly for underserved populations and rare cancers.

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders (NIDDK) intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the TrialNet Coordinating Center (TNCC). The TrialNet network identifies people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) at stages before and after onset of clinical symptoms and enrolls them in trials and studies aimed at prevention of progression to clinical disease and preservation of insulin production. The TNCC participates in ongoing studies and intervention trials as well as the design and conduct of new studies and intervention trials. The TNCC will: (1) support a wide range of research projects in varying stages of development, implementation and completion, and (2) provide data and sample management, including standardized acquisition, quality control, dissemination and public accessibility. The TNCC will be responsible for network administration and operations, including the evaluation, selection, and funding (through subcontracts) of Clinical Centers and central support units (such as laboratories) necessary for the conduct of TrialNets clinical studies. The TNCC PD/PI will be a voting member of the TrialNet Executive and Steering Committees, contributing to network leadership. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO is expected to be published in Spring 2024 with an expected application due date in Summer 2024. This NOFO will utilize the U01 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.
