This Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) intends to supports studies that are both necessary and sufficient to inform the planning of a Phase II-IV clinical trial within NHLBI's mission. The NHLBI expects that applications to this NOFO will describe the planned clinical trial and in so doing demonstrate that the proposed (R34) research is scientifically necessary to design or plan the subsequent trial. Furthermore, this NOFO will support research projects that are designed to provide results that will be sufficient to inform the future trial without further studies. The planned Phase II, III, or IV trial must be primarily intended to test the efficacy, safety, clinical management, or implementation of intervention(s) in the prevention and/or treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders. In contrast to the study start up or preparation phase of NHLBI funding opportunities for clinical trials (as described at https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/grants-and-training/funding-opportunities-and-contacts/clinical-trials-optimization), the R34 mechanism is intended to provide new information that answers a scientific or operational question(s) which may be pragmatic in nature and, therefore, informs the final development of a Phase II-IV clinical trial. Regardless of the results of the R34, support of the proposed future clinical trial will require a new application.

Please note that this program requests optional Notices of Intent, which are due via NSPIRES by April 15, 2024. See the full posting on NSPIRES for details. Proposers must retrieve the instructions document (zip file) associated with the application package for this opportunity as there is at least one required form that must be attached to the submitted proposal package. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) released its annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024 (OMB Approval Number 2700-0092, CFDA Number 43.001) on February 14, 2024. In this case "omnibus" means that this NRA has many individual program elements, each with its own due dates and topics. All together these cover the wide range of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences supported by SMD. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. However, most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES will be grants, and many program elements of ROSES specifically exclude contracts, because contracts would not be appropriate for the nature of the work solicited. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. In most cases, organizations of every type, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, domestic and foreign (with some caveats), may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Tables listing the program elements and due dates (Tables 2 and 3), a table that provides a very top level summary of proposal contents (Table 1), and the full text of the ROSES-2024 "Summary of Solicitation", may all be found NSPIRES at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024. This synopsis is associated with one of the individual program elements within ROSES, but this is a generic summary that is posted for all ROSES elements. For specific information on this particular program element download and read the PDF of the text of this program element by going to Tables 2 or 3 of this NRA at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024table2 and http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024table3, respectively, click the title of the program element of interest, a hypertext link will take you to a page for that particular program element. On that page, on the right side under "Announcement Documents" the link on the bottom will be to the PDF of the text of the call for proposals. For example, if one were interested in The Lunar Data Analysis Program (NNH24ZDA001N-LDAP) one would follow the link to the NSPIRES page for that program element and then to read the text of the call one would click on C.8 Lunar Data Analysis Program (.pdf) to download the text of the call. If one wanted to set it into the context of the goals, objectives and know the default rules for all elements within Appendix C, the planetary science division, one might download and read C.1 Planetary Science Research Program Overview (.pdf) from that same page. While the letters and numbers are different for each element within ROSES (A.12, B.7, etc.) the basic configuration is always the same, e.g., the letter indicates the Science Division (A is Earth Science, B is Heliophysics etc.) and whatever the letter, #1 is always the division overview. Frequently asked questions for ROSES are posted at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs. Questions concerning general ROSES-2024 policies and procedures may be directed to Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at sara@nasa.gov, but technical questions concerning specific program elements should be directed to the point(s) of contact for that particular element, who may be found either at the end of the individual program element in the summary table of key information or on the web list of topics and points of contact at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list.

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals that support the work of state historical records advisory boards through projects that engage the public, expand civic education, and promote understanding of the nations history, democracy, and culture. The Commission welcomes projects that commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and that use collections to examine the ideals behind the founding of the United States and the continual interpretation and debate over these ideals over the past 250 years. Collections that center the voices and document the history of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are especially encouraged. The purpose of this grant program is to assist state boards to broaden preservation of, and increased online access to, historical records; develop and promote best practices; support activities that put the American people in touch with primary sources in their communities and online; promote the institutional advancement of organizations in underserved communities; and assist locally based repositories with training and tools to improve their stewardship abilities. The Commission will award grants to state historical records advisory boards to: ? Operate state-based regrant programs that preserve historical records and make them available online ? Carry out traveling archivist programs that provide onsite assistance and follow-up advice to repositories ? Provide educational and outreach programs, workshops, and other activities that enhance citizen and student engagement with historical records ? Offer scholarships, training opportunities, and other programs that support institutional advancement among records repositories, especially those in underserved communities ? Collaborate on projects with other organizations to address common problems or shared opportunities within a state or among a consortium of state archives ? Hold or participate in meetings and public forums on statewide or national archival issues. State boards should review the NHPRCs strategic plan and consider its goals, objectives, and tactics when evaluating the boards current programming and considering new programs. Some tactics call on the NHPRC to partner with state boards to undertake particular activities, and other tactics relate to activities that are already common among state boards. Applications that outline programs that address the following tactics, and others that relate to the work of the state boards, will be more competitive: ? Target institutional advancement for small and underserved local archives and repositories, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Minority-Serving Institutions, and tribal entities. ? Develop outreach strategies to historical records collections that center the voices and perspectives of African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans. ? Support opportunities for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in professional development as archivists. ? Offer workshops through a variety of sponsors to educate potential applicants about project design and the NHPRC application process. ? Implement local and statewide projects that enhance public participation and engagement in the work of archives. Projects utilizing traditional approaches with a proven record of success, as well as projects testing innovative approaches, are welcome. All applications should outline a process for contacting institutions and individuals who participate in the boards programs (i.e., regrant and training scholarship recipients, workshop attendees, etc.) to determine how they benefited. Applications should also outline a process for evaluating the boards programs, determining their effectiveness, and proposing appropriate changes. For a comprehensive list of Commission limitations on funding, please see: "What we do and do not fund." Applications that consist entirely of ineligible activities will not be considered. State boards, as well as state archives, are encouraged to consider also applying under the Commissions Archival Collaboratives: Planning and Implementation Grants program. Funding from this program can be used to build on the current efforts of state archives and state boards to address the needs of small and underrepresented archives; utilize best practices, tools, and techniques; and implement management structures that will promote long-term sustainability and growth. The Archives Collaboratives program can provide the funding necessary to support the staffing, consultants, travel, and other expenses related to the development of archival collaboratives within the state or among several states. The development of collaboratives will provide a mechanism for repositories to work together on a continuing basis to expand on what they have learned through a regrant project, a workshop, or some other program opportunity. These collaboratives can also be used to expand the capabilities of institutions so that they are in a position to apply for a regrant or for funding directly from the NHPRC, either individually or as a collaborative. Award Information The Commission offers two levels of funding. A Level I grant is for one year and for up to $12,000. A Level II grant is for one year and for up to $40,000 or for two years and for up to $80,000. Applicants may request either Level I or Level II funding, but not both. The Commission expects to make up to a total of 30 grants in this category for a total of up to $800,000. Grants begin no earlier than January 1, 2025. The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all publicity, publications, and other products that result from its support. Eligibility These grants are awarded only to state historical records advisory boards in each state, or to the state agency responsible for the state board, ordinarily the state archives. Another state agency, or a non-profit organization, such as a foundation or university, acting on behalf of the designated state agency may apply. States also include the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and United States territories. Projects must include at least one of the eligible activities described for the program. Applicants must include all required elements (SF 424, Narrative, NHPRC Budget Form, and Supplemental Materials). Applications that do not meet either of these criteria will not be considered. In order to ensure eligibility, applicants should first review the rules and regulations governing NHPRC grants under the Administering an NHPRC Grant section. Cost Sharing The total costs of a project are shared between the NHPRC and the applicant organization. Cost sharing is required. The applicant's financial contribution may include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. NHPRC grant recipients are not permitted to use grant funds for indirect costs (as indicated in 2 CFR 2600.101). Indirect costs must be listed under the applicant's cost sharing contribution if they are included in the budget. The Commission provides no more than 75 percent of total project costs in the State Board Programming Grants category. For example, a request of $40,000 in NHPRC grant funds means the applicant institution must provide at least $13,333 in cost share.
