The FY 2024 Teams Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II) STEM Innovator Award is a grant offered by NASA's Next Gen STEM Project, aimed at supporting informal education organizations and libraries in providing NASA-aligned, inquiry-based STEM educational opportunities to students and educators, with the goal of expanding their regional reach, enhancing innovative practices, and benefiting diverse local communities.

The purpose of the NIDA Animal Genetics Program is to identify genetic, genomic, and molecular (epi)genetic variants that underlie: 1. Phenotypes associated with addictive behaviors and/or vulnerability to distinct stages along the substance use disorder (SUD) trajectory (e.g. initial/acute use, escalation of use, acquisition of tolerance, dependence, uncontrolled use, abstinence and relapse or recovery); 2. Behaviors associated with SUD (e.g. impulsivity, novelty seeking, delayed discounting, and other genetically-associated phenotypes); and 3. Comorbidities that demonstrate genetic correlations with phenotypes and behaviors linked with SUD (e.g. anxiety, stress, poor maternal care, social defeat, and other paradigms). Applications may examine any type of variant, including single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, large and small structural variants, and all types of mobile DNA. NIDA encourages applications that take genomics, multi-omics, and/or data-based approaches that integrate multi-level omics data, delineate gene networks, and/or uncover the function of known or newly discovered genetic or epigenetic variants. NIDA expects these studies to uncover novel mechanisms that contribute to SUD and facilitate the discovery of targets for intervention and guide the development of individualized therapeutics to treat these different aspects of SUD.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research and evaluation projects aimed at improving malaria control and prevention strategies in Kenya, specifically targeting collaborations with local health institutions.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to community coalitions focused on preventing and reducing opioid and methamphetamine use, as well as prescription drug misuse among youth aged 12 to 18 in areas experiencing higher-than-average substance misuse rates.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for innovative research in advanced scientific computing and extreme-scale science, targeting a wide range of applicants including universities, for-profit companies, and federal laboratories, to tackle challenges in high-performance computing, quantum technologies, and artificial intelligence.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to nonprofit organizations and government entities to establish a nationwide communication system that assists runaway and homeless youth by connecting them with crisis intervention services and resources.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to early-career researchers who have received specific NIAMS awards, enabling them to conduct small-scale studies and gather data to advance their research and secure future funding.

This funding opportunity supports research to develop and test behavioral interventions aimed at reducing sexual risk behaviors and increasing the use of HIV prevention methods among HIV-negative Black and Hispanic men who have sex with men and use substances before or during sex.

This funding opportunity provides support for the development and management of early-phase cancer prevention clinical trials, focusing on evaluating interventions to reduce cancer risk across various organ sites.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for rural communities to develop renewable wood energy systems and innovative wood product facilities, promoting economic growth and forest health.

This grant provides funding to educational agencies and their partners to develop and implement performance-based compensation systems that improve teacher effectiveness and student achievement, particularly in high-need schools.

The "Advanced Development and Validation of Emerging Biospecimen Science Technologies for Basic and Clinical Cancer Research" grant aims to fund exploratory research projects that focus on improving the quality of cancer samples through the development and validation of innovative technologies, which will help in preserving sample integrity, establishing quality control, and reducing variations in sample quality, ultimately enhancing cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for organizations to conduct research on telehealth services, particularly focusing on improving access and addressing disparities for underserved populations in the United States.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations that will effectively share and translate rural health research findings to improve healthcare access and outcomes in underserved rural communities across the U.S.

This funding opportunity supports researchers in conducting single-site clinical trials focused on heart, lung, and blood health, encouraging innovative trial designs and community engagement.

The "HEAL Initiative: Understanding Individual Differences in Human Pain Conditions" grant aims to fund research that explores the differences in how individuals experience pain, with the goal of improving personalized pain treatment strategies and understanding the impact of factors like additional health conditions or substance use.

HIV infection and substance use are comorbid conditions that bidirectionally and synergistically influence the deleterious outcomes in people who suffer from substance use disorders (SUD). The persistence and transcriptional reactivation of HIV lead to the development of neuropathological complications. Strategies to address viral latency include silencing of HIV transcription and reactivation and clearance. The goal of this initiative is to support research aimed at (1) identification of targets and pathways by which transcriptional activity of HIV can be suppressed in HIV reservoirs including the CNS in people with SUD, and (2) application of emerging small molecule drug discovery approaches to identify novel compounds that can be utilized as pharmacological probes and as drugs to suppress HIV transcription in people with HIV-SUD comorbidity.

This funding opportunity supports a wide range of organizations in conducting research to improve nutrition-related health outcomes and reduce health disparities across all life stages by addressing social factors that influence nutrition.
