Notice of Funding Opportunity Description Background Although vaccines are among the most effective approaches to control viral diseases, developing a prophylactic or therapeutic HIV vaccine has proven elusive. There are no licensed vaccines for HIV. Strategies for induction of HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies will likely require repeated exposures over long periods, including immunization with distinct antigens in sequential order. Such immunization strategies will require development of technologies for controlled vaccine release. Recent advances in materials-based science, controlled release technologies, delivery systems, and immunology provide opportunities to enhance the quality, potency and durability of vaccine-induced T cell and antibody responses to HIV-1. Materials-based approaches can be engineered to improve the stability, spatiotemporal release, and presentation of multiple vaccine components; for example, by controlling the time frame and dose of vaccine delivery over days to weeks. Recent studies have shown that a slow-release vaccine is superior to bolus administration at inducing breadth, potency, and durability of antibody responses to HIV antigens by prolonging antigen exposure in the germinal centers, thereby enhancing the maturation of B cells and generating stronger humoral immune responses. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the immunological improvements observed with slow-release vaccine delivery and to translate such concepts into clinical application. It will be crucial to determine how the duration of exposure to vaccine components impacts immune cell biology, and how to calibrate vaccine release to improve responses while avoiding immune exhaustion and over-activation. Advancing safe, effective, and well-tolerated controlled release vaccines is an unmet need that may enhance vaccine effectiveness and practicality, leading to better adherence to complex regimens, fewer adverse reactions, and cost savings. Finally, iterative behavioral studies during product development to determine vaccine/provider product expectation/preferences are critical to facilitate product uptake and use.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is seeking applications for funding. OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety, protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, OVC seeks to enable an organization to provide financial and technical assistance to approximately 300 communities (100 each year) nationwide to conduct public education and awareness activities on crime victims rights and services in their jurisdictions during the 20252027 National Crime Victims Rights Weeks (NCVRW). This program furthers the DOJs mission to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights.

Historic battlefields and sites of armed conflict are powerful reminders of the shared heritage of all Americans. As an ongoing effort to engage all Americans in the preservation of cultural resources beyond our park boundaries, the National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program (NPS ABPP) promotes the preservation and interpretation of these important places. NPS ABPP awards financial assistance to support community-driven stewardship of battlefields and sites of armed conflict through four grant opportunities Preservation Planning, Battlefield Restoration, Battlefield Interpretation, and Battlefield Land Acquisition.NPS ABPP administers Battlefield Interpretation Grants to provide assistance for projects that deploy technology to modernize and enhance battlefield interpretation and education at Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War battlefield sites eligible for assistance under the Battlefield Acquisition Grant Program established under 54 U.S.C. 308103(b). These grants are funded from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which invests earnings from offshore oil and gas leasing to help strengthen communities, preserve history and protect the national endowment of lands and waters. Funding will support scoping and implementation activities for historic preservation projects at eligible sites and will be awarded competitively. Grants require a dollar-for-dollar non-Federal match. State, local, and tribal governments, as well as nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply.Successful applicants typically provide straightforward answers to the Merit Review Criteria, backed by clear and concise supporting documentation, including but not limited to GIS maps, resumes/CVs, charts, graphs, spreadsheets, summary tables, and other relevant information. These applicants also tend to have a plan for making contact, or have already established contact, with landowners or organizations with an economic or legal interest in the proposed project sites. NPS ABPP encourages all applicants to consider forming inclusive preservation partnerships with these landowners/organizations as well as descendant communities, Native American Tribes, state and/or tribal historic preservation offices, and other nonprofit organizations that may help guide, or want to actively participate in, the proposed project.Two categories of grants are available for battlefield interpretation projects in different stages: Scoping Grants: These are available to fund the early stages of project development, such as research and content creation, consultation with stakeholders, exploration of available technologies, audience research, and development of technical proposals. The federal share for these grants should range from $20,000-$50,000 and have a period of performance of 1-2 years.Implementation Grants: These are available to applicants who have completed interdisciplinary scoping prior to the application and can provide draft content and design plans. The federal share for these grants should range from $50,000-$200,000 and have a period of performance of 2-3 years.
