Cooperative agreements under the Alzheimer's Disease Program Initiative (ADPI) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), are intended to support and promote the development and expansion of dementia-capable home and community-based service (HCBS) systems in States and Communities. There are two application options contained in this single NOFO: Grants to States (Option A) and Grants to Communities (Option B). No entity is eligible to apply for both State and Community options and no entity is eligible to hold more than one ADPI grant at a time. The dementia-capable systems resulting from program activities under either option are expected to provide quality, person-centered services and supports that help individuals living with dementia and their caregiver remain independent and safe in their communities.OPTION A: Grants to StatesApplicants for Option A (36 month cooperative agreements) are the governmental entities within states and territories designated as the state agency for dementia-capability and that have working relationships with their state agencies that enable creating and sustaining a dementia- capable HCBS System. Option A has two required objectives, the first of which is the creation, expansion and sustainability of a dementia-capable state HCBS system that includes Single Entry Point/No Wrong Door (SEP/NWD) access for people with dementia and their family caregivers. The second objective is to ensure access to a comprehensive, sustainable set of quality state HCBS that are dementia-capable and provide innovative services to the population with dementia and their caregivers.States and territories eligible for Option A are those that do not have active ACL ADPI State dementia-capability grants. All states without active grants are eligible to apply, however those states that have not benefited from ADSSP grants since before 2014 will be given priority consideration in the post-review decision-making process.OPTION B: Grants to CommunitiesCooperative agreements under Option B (36 month cooperative agreements) are available to private and/or public community-based organizations (CBO) that are able to: 1) demonstrate their operation within an existing dementia-capable HCBS system dedicated to the population that they serve; and 2) articulate opportunities and additional services in the targeted gap areas that would enhance and strengthen the existing system.Option B cooperative agreements are designed to aid community-based HCBS providers in addressing three specific service gaps in existing dementia-capable HCBS systems for persons living with or those at high risk of developing Alzheimers disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers.Option B applicants must address each of the following three gap areas:Provision of effective supportive services to persons living alone with ADRD in the community;Improvement of the quality and effectiveness of programs and services dedicated to individuals aging with intellectual and developmental disabilities with ADRD or those at high risk of developing ADRD; and Delivery of behavioral symptom management training and expert consultations for family caregivers.Community-based organizations are only eligible to hold one ADPI grant at a time. All community-based organizations without active ADPI grants are eligible to apply, however those that have not benefited from ADI-SSS and ADPI grant programs since before 2014 will be given priority consideration in the post-review decision-making process.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks innovative grant applications in nonmalignant hematology research that will steer the field in new directions. Applications to this FOA should propose proof of principle research that is tightly focused into one specific aim, which can be accomplished within a 1-3 year project period, and is directed at validating novel concepts and approaches that promise to open new pathways for discovery.The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) have joined together to build research activities in nonmalignant hematology. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to promote innovative research projects in nonmalignant hematology that explore high impact and new directions of inquiry. While each Institute shares interests in nonmalignant hematology research, they also bring different perspectives, thereby expanding the scope of the SHINE II program beyond a single Institute's research mission. This "New Directions in Hematology Research (SHINE-II)" program invites investigator-initiated grant applications for basic or early translational, proof of principle research projects that are tightly focused and directed at validating novel concepts and approaches that promise to advance new pathways for discovery. This program may include clinical research involving human subjects that is directed at understanding disease pathogenesis and prognosis. Research applications submitted under this FOA should be more limited in scope (single aim with sub-aims, as appropriate) and duration (1-3 years) than typical R01 grant applications. The SHINE-II FOA seeks specifically to promote and support new directions of research in their early stages. Applications submitted to this FOA should include preliminary data that support the conceptual basis of the research proposed and the technical approaches to be used. Moreover, while research applications submitted under this FOA are expected to be more limited in scope and shorter in duration than typical R01 applications, achievement of the research objective(s) proposed should validate novel pathways of discovery and provide the basis for future high impact research endeavors. Principal areas of interest for this collaborative FOA include: (1) hematopoietic stem cell biology, (2) lineage fate determinants, (3) aging-related immune dysfunction and lymphocyte biology, (4) myeloid cell biology, and myelopoiesis, (5) platelet biology and dysfunction, (6) erythroid cell biology and erythropoiesis, (7) the molecular biology of heme and hemoglobin, (8) acquired and congenital disorders of red blood cell production and survival leading to chronic anemia or bone marrow failure, (9) and the uptake, utilization, storage, and transport of iron in health and disease. Inquiries to Scientific/Research staff prior to submission of an application to this FOA are strongly encouraged to discuss programmatic relevance and potential time tables for funding (see below, Section VII. Agency Contacts). The limited scope and shorter duration of the SHINE II R01 are not optimal for Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) and New Investigators (NIs), who should contact Scientific/Research staff prior to submission of an application to this FOA.
