The purpose of this NOFO is to reduce the burden of vector-borne diseases by building public health entomology capacity within regional networks around the globe to improve surveillance and control of arthropods of public health importance. Key objectives include developing and expanding regional expertise in surveillance and control of arthropods of public health importance; formalizing and encouraging mechanisms for information exchange between public health entomologists; strengthening networks and through them improve the public health impact of vector control and emergency response preparedness; and long-term sustainability of networks. Additionally, this project will build on ongoing work with to strengthen preparedness and response capacity for arboviral outbreaks through implementation and evaluation of sterile insect technique (SIT) in the Pacific to reduce vectors and risk for arboviral diseases. The project will evaluate SIT in the field in 3 Pacific Island countries/territories at-risk for Aedes-borne diseases to build the evidence base for implementing such tools to improve public health outcomes. Additional activities include continued technical and coordination support for entomological and epidemiological aspects of the SIT evaluation, reviewing outcomes at trial mid- and end-points, assessing cost-effectiveness of SIT, exploring opportunities to support SIT projects in Paraguay and Argentina considering recent Aedes-borne disease, and working with partners to promote large-scale, robustly designed SIT trials in different eco-epidemiological settings.

With this solicitation, BJA seeks to support efforts by state, local, and federally recognized American Indian tribal governments to establish and enhance community courts in their jurisdictions.

U.S. Geological Surveys (USGS), Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), is offering a funding opportunity to improve Bayesian model-based inferences for bat surveys. Field methods for monitoring bat populations in the western United States consist of stationary acoustic surveys, mobile transects, and summertime colony counts. The North American Bat monitoring program (NABat) relies on these core data streams to inform species status and trends assessments at range-wide extents, periodically (Loeb et al. 2015). NOROCKs research statistician was involved in conceptualizing the NABat program, developed the probabilistic master sample design underpinning the collaborative monitoring effort, continues to identify emerging statistical research and development needs for the Bats Stats Team, and provides sustained programmatic guidance and direction for the NABat program.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations working to strengthen global efforts against chemical weapons threats by enhancing detection, response, and compliance capabilities.

This funding opportunity provides Amtrak with over $3 billion to upgrade its passenger rail infrastructure, replace outdated train cars, and ensure compliance with accessibility standards.

The purpose of this research is to monitor characteristics of periphyton downstream of CEPP, within Northeast Shark River Slough (NESRS) to determine pre-CEPP implementation baseline conditions for periphyton. The project objectives include: Objective 1: Collect quarterly samples at 35-40 sites in the northeast Shark River Slough to provide measures of mean periphyton cover, volume, biomass, chlorophyll a (chl a), and organic, total carbon (TC), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Objective 2: Establish and report the baseline condition of appropriate periphyton community metrics and parameters for future use in a Before, After, Control, Impact (BACI) assessment of CEPP project implementation. Objective 3: Demonstrate progress and present results in the form of quarterly status reports, annual reports, and a final report.

This funding opportunity is exclusively for Virginia Commonwealth University to conduct research that improves the analysis and interpretation of physical evidence in publicly funded forensic laboratories, enhancing the effectiveness of the criminal justice system.

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to bolster the capacity of obligated entities and government supervisors in El Salvador to develop and implement effective Anti-money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Finance (AML/CFT) compliance programs consistent with international standards and Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations.

The project aims to facilitate the implementation of effective risk-based AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism) compliance programs that are in line with the best practices in the industry. By adopting these measures, the project seeks to prevent and detect instances of money laundering in the country.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Global Health Security (GHS) Program seeks to prevent and mitigate the increasing occurrence and severity of epidemics, pandemics and other emerging infectious disease threats. We do this by partnering with countries, as well as global, regional, and local public and private sector organizations. These partnerships build and strengthen measurable, sustainable capacity while helping to develop and adopt evidence-based and innovative solutions to prevent, rapidly detect, effectively respond to, and ultimately recover from emerging infectious disease (EID) threats1 whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate.
