Grants for State governments - Health

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Grant Program, offered through the United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia in partnership with the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), aims to provide federal funds for comprehensive, collaborative, and community-based approaches to reducing violent crime. The program's mission aligns with supporting organizations within the Western District of Virginia in their efforts to mitigate gun and gang violence. This initiative seeks to foster public safety by supporting a broad range of activities, including deterrence efforts, evidence-based programs, proven enforcement strategies, and the prosecution of significant firearm, controlled substance, and violent crime offenses. The grant targets local and state law enforcement agencies, local and state governmental entities, educational institutions, and 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations located in or serving the cities of Roanoke, Lynchburg, Danville, and Charlottesville (including Albemarle County). Multi-jurisdictional partnerships are also eligible. The primary impact goal is to reduce violent crime through a full range of appropriate strategies. Expected outcomes include a decrease in gun and gang violence, stronger community trust in law enforcement, and a more effective justice system in addressing violent offenses. The program prioritizes four key PSN design features. "Community Engagement" emphasizes meaningful communication and relationship-building between communities, law enforcement, prosecutors, and other stakeholders to build trust and shared public safety values. "Prevention and Intervention Effective" focuses on problem-solving approaches that address violent crime by leveraging resources like education, social services, job training, and reentry programs to provide individuals with skills and alternatives. "Focused and Strategic Enforcement" directs efforts towards identifying and addressing problem places and prolific offenders driving violent crime, often involving gangs and violent street groups. This includes utilizing technology and analytics, developing enforcement strategies, and deterring violence through public awareness. Finally, "Accountability" highlights the importance of analyzing and assessing the impact of PSN strategies on violent crime and community health, often in partnership with research entities, to ensure the program's success and credibility. The funding available is approximately $302,000, with grants awarded for a twelve-month period, potentially extending to 24 months based on need.

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to invite applications to establish integrated and collaborative Stillbirth Research Centers, as part of a new Stillbirth Research Consortium. The Centers will support cutting-edge basic, translational, clinical, and/or data sciences research and generate knowledge to fuel advancement of stillbirth-relevant research in the United States, with a particular emphasis on approaches that utilize an equity lens to identify ways to decrease the incidence of stillbirth in vulnerable populations. A Data Coordinating Center (described in the companion announcement NOT-HD-24-010) will support the work of the research projects funded under the Stillbirth Research Consortium. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants additional time to develop meaningful collaborations, interdisciplinary teams, and responsive applications. International collaboration is encouraged and allowable. The NOFO is expected to be published in Summer 2024 with an expected application due date in Winter 2024. This NOFO will utilize the UG1 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.

The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) is requesting proposals for grants for the Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP). This program aims to develop and implement effective and equitably targeted Firearm Restraining Order (FRO) public information, outreach, and training strategies. The focus is on supporting FRO partner agencies (courts, law enforcement, and behavioral health providers), potential FRO petitioners, individuals and organizations in contact with persons at risk, and the general public. Grants can be used to subaward to local governments and non-profits. A total of $655,741 is available for a 12-month period from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025.

This R21 funding opportunity encourages projects that test, in animals and/or humans, whether modifying electrophysiological patterns can improve cognitive, affective, or social processing. This R21 has a companion R01 (TEMP-10327). The proximal goal of this FOA (and its companion R01) is to encourage investigators to test whether modifying specific patterns of coordinated neural activity in vivo can improve cognitive, social, or affective processes. These studies should be based on a rational understanding of the role of specific neural activity rhythms in, for example, the routing of information among brain regions or in improving the ability of afferent information to affect local processing via coherence of underlying oscillatory activity.

This funding opportunity supports institutions conducting clinical trials focused on improving dental, oral, and craniofacial health by allowing them to extend or revise ongoing studies to gather more data or address new research needs.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to community coalitions focused on preventing and reducing youth substance use, helping them implement effective strategies and strengthen local partnerships.
