The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support research to characterize cellular and molecular constituents of the bat immune system and to understand protective innate and adaptive immune mechanisms in bats. Research projects supported by this NOFO will form a collaborative research network to advance understanding of the bat immune response. This NOFO will support research projects to characterize the bat immune system, including defining protective innate or adaptive immune molecules and mechanisms. As little is known about the bat immune system, projects may be descriptive in nature or may be supported by limited preliminary data. Projects should emphasize the strength of the conceptual framework and the potential of the project to advance understanding of the bat immune system. Projects may propose the development of critical reagents for the project, though those development and validation activities may be transferred to the Research Resource Program after award. Research areas of high priority include, but are not limited to, the following: Characterization of the cellular constituents of the bat immune system Dissection of the molecules and pathways involved in the regulation of the bat innate and/or adaptive immune system Mechanistic studies of bat immunity, including intrinsic immunity and regulation of inflammation Studies on the quality, magnitude, and kinetics of bat immune responses during pathogenic infection and after pathogen clearance Role of metabolism or other intrinsic factors in bat immune regulation Structural studies of bat immune proteins

The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) is the component of the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for advancing the practice of community policing by the nations state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies through information and grant resources. The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office, https://cops.usdoj.gov) is pleased to announce that it is seeking applications for funding for the FY 24 Tribal Resources Grant Program Technical Assistance (TRGP-TA) Alaska Tribal Law Enforcement Technical Assistance Project. FY24 TRGP-TA funds will be used to support technical assistance efforts to assist Alaska Tribes with law enforcementspecific needs, including starting law enforcement agencies, developing policies and procedures, addressing jurisdictional challenges, and other needs unique to Alaska Tribes and tribal law enforcement. Program funds will also support the development of a current State of Tribal Law Enforcement in Alaska report with an assessment of tribal law enforcement services and needs, challenges, areas of greatest need, and any unique barriers. The assessment will help shape technical assistance offered under the program along with areas for the COPS Office to focus on in future efforts.

The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) is the component of the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for advancing the practice of community policing by the nations state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies through information and grant resources. The COPS Office has been appropriated more than $20 billion to advance community policing, including grants awarded to more than 13,000 state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies to fund the hiring and redeployment of more than 136,000 officers. COPS Office information resources, covering a wide range of community policing topics such as school and campus safety, violent crime, and officer safety and wellness, can be downloaded via the COPS Offices home page, https://cops.usdoj.gov. The COPS Hiring Program (CHP) provides funding to law enforcement agencies to hire and/or rehire additional career law enforcement officers in an effort to increase their community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts. Anticipated outcomes of CHP awards include engagement in planned community partnerships, implementation of projects to analyze and assess problems, implementation of changes to personnel and agency management in support of community policing, and increased capacity of agency to engage in community policing activities. Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies that support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as violent crime, nonviolent crime, and fear of crime. To read an overview of the principles of community policing, please see the COPS Office publication Community Policing Defined. The COPS Office 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 and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and build trust between law enforcement and the community.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports applications to develop and implement investigator-initiated single site clinical trials including efficacy, comparative effectiveness, pragmatic and/or implementation research clinical trials. These trials may include ones that test different therapeutic, behavioral, and/or prevention strategies. Trials for which this FOA applies must be relevant to the research mission of the NHLBI and meet the NIH definition of a clinical trial (see NOT-OD-15-015). For additional information about the mission, strategic vision, and research priorities of the NHLBI, applicants are encouraged to consult the NHLBI website.This FOA will utilize a bi-phasic, milestone-driven mechanism of award. The objective of the application is to present the scientific rationale for the clinical trial and a comprehensive scientific and operational plan that describes it. The application should address project management, subject recruitment and retention, performance milestones, scientific conduct of the trial, and dissemination of results. The multiple PD/PI model is strongly encouraged but not required. Applicants are encouraged to include a PD/PI with expertise in biostatistics, clinical trial design, and coordination.
