The NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO) has issued a funding opportunity under its FY2025 Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) Program. This program seeks to fund research that advances understanding of the Earth System, focusing specifically on the urban atmosphere and the impacts of climate and air quality mitigation strategies. Proposals are encouraged to address processes influencing atmospheric trace gases and aerosols and to support carbon and pollution management by contributing to improved models and data. The AC4 Program will accept proposals for research projects with budgets averaging $250,000 per year over a period of 2-3 years, with total anticipated awards ranging from 8 to 10. Proposals may be funded as grants; however, cooperative agreements may be issued if NOAA anticipates substantial involvement in project implementation, such as collaboration between NOAA scientists and recipients. Federal agencies are ineligible to receive these funds, but eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, nonprofits, commercial organizations, international entities, and state, local, and tribal governments. This opportunity does not have a cost-sharing requirement. Key submission deadlines are as follows: Letters of Intent (LOIs) are strongly encouraged and should be submitted via email by September 18, 2024, though submission of an LOI is not required to proceed with a full application.

NOAA will review applications based on criteria including technical merit, qualifications, project costs, and the significance of expected contributions to NOAA’s climate research goals. Reviews will occur in two stages: an initial technical review by subject matter experts, followed by a program relevance assessment. Selection factors include geographical balance, research priority alignment, and participation of targeted groups. Award notifications are expected in spring 2025, contingent on federal appropriations, with project start dates around September 1, 2025.

The purpose of the Health Financing Activity (HFA) is to improve access to equitable and quality health services and prevent catastrophic health expenditure through increased resources for health, efficient allocation and utilization, and enhanced financial risk protection in alignment with Ethiopias overall aim of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through Primary Health Care (PHC) by 2035. Health care financing reform in Ethiopia, initiated in 1998, aimed to improve the quality and equity of health services. The strategy focused on increasing resources for health care, promoting efficiency, and ensuring long-term sustainability through multiple financing mechanisms. Key interventions included revenue retention at health facilities, a fee-waiver system, standardized exemption services, and the introduction of health insurance schemes. These reforms have significantly improved health service delivery and financial protection for citizens. USAIDs investments in healthcare financing reform are largely focused on strengthening and institutionalizing health care financing (HCF) functions and systems to support universal health coverage of quality primary health care (PHC) services for Ethiopian citizens with reduced financial barriers. The HFA will build upon the lessons derived from previous USAID Ethiopia Health Care financing reform initiatives, including the recent five-year Health Financing Improvement Program (HFIP). The expected outcomes will be evidence-based and objectively measured through the progress made in the country's capacity to achieve sufficient, equitable, sustainable, and efficient financing for universal healthcare coverage.

Adolescence is a critical risk period for substance use initiation and adverse outcomes related to substance use, particularly as drug use has been found to escalate between ages 12 and 19. The goal of substance use prevention efforts is to prevent and/or delay the first use of substances. Research shows that early age of onset is an important predictor for the development of a substance use disorder later in life. Further, research shows that prevention interventions can have positive long-term effects in reducing substance use. Recognizing that preventing or delaying initiation of substance use can confer important health and social benefits, the purpose of the NCI is to serve as the training and technical assistance partner for DFC and non-DFC funded community coalitions across the country by enhancing the capacity of the prevention workforce and others in the prevention community to implement evidence-based interventions.
