This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications to participate in a research program cooperative agreement to support theOptimizing Health of Children and Adolescents with Perinatal HIV Exposure Initiative. The objective of this NOFO is to generate information needed to develop and to test interventions for the early detection and reduction of long-term effects of in utero/perinatal exposure toantiretroviral therapy (ART) and/or HIV among individuals who are HIV exposed but uninfected (IHEU).Investigators with innovative thinking and new approaches to address the public health issues facing IHEUs are encouraged to apply.

This grant provides funding for innovative research on the effects of HIV on aging, targeting projects that explore the health and quality of life of older adults living with HIV.

This grant provides financial support to early-stage cancer researchers transitioning to independent faculty positions, helping them develop their research skills and generate preliminary data for future funding applications.

This funding opportunity supports researchers at various institutions to investigate how combining vaccine adjuvants can improve immune responses, ultimately leading to better vaccine designs for different diseases.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations that deliver risk management education and training to U.S. agricultural producers, particularly those from underserved communities, helping them navigate various risks in farming.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for researchers to develop and test innovative strategies aimed at preventing prenatal alcohol exposure and improving outcomes for individuals affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.

This funding opportunity supports researchers and organizations in developing innovative artificial intelligence and machine learning methods to accelerate drug discovery and preclinical development for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

This funding opportunity provides early career scientists with flexible financial support to develop their research programs in fundamental biological processes without the need for extensive preliminary data.

This grant provides funding for research aimed at understanding the factors that contribute to health disparities in HIV and aging among racial and ethnic minorities, low-income populations, and other underserved groups, focusing on how multiple health conditions affect their overall well-being and quality of life.

This funding opportunity supports early-career rehabilitation researchers in conducting small-scale studies that will help them gather preliminary data for future larger research projects focused on improving recovery and rehabilitation for individuals with disabilities.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals to rethink and accelerate distributed additive manufacturing of critical structural parts. Structures Uniquely Resolved to Guarantee Endurance (SURGE) will develop methods to predict part life directly from data collected during additive manufacturing (AM) in a way that is transferable across disparate machines, materials, locations, and geometries. Research will merge in-situ sensing technologies, process modeling, and microstructure-based fatigue life methods to quantify the useful life of manufactured hardware. Predictions will be backed by extensive experimental validation demonstrating a new paradigm for efficient part qualification. Proposed research must investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in distributed AM capability. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces funding for the Refugee Career Pathways (RCP) program. Through the RCP program, ORR will provide funding to enable refugees and other eligible populations to achieve self-sufficiency by obtaining the means to secure professional or skilled employment drawing upon previously acquired knowledge, skills, and experience. Under the RCP program, the primary focus is to assist participants in learning about career pathways and developing individualized plans to gain employment and advance within their chosen career field. Allowable activities will include case management, training and technical assistance, specialized English language training, and mentoring. In addition, eligible refugee participants may receive federal financial assistance for costs related to the establishment or re-establishment of credentials, such as obtaining educational credits or enrollment in required certification programs. ORR is requiring that RCP programs have a partnership with at least one educational institution (i.e., university, college, community college, or other institution with expertise in career and technical education) to facilitate career opportunities in ways that supplement, rather than supplant, existing services. RCP programs implemented by an educational institution must collaborate with at least one refugee-focused entity (i.e., resettlement office and/or other organization with programming specifically aimed at refugees).

This funding opportunity supports research collaborations between U.S. and Latin American institutions to address health disparities related to chronic diseases among Hispanic/Latino populations in the U.S. and Latin America.

This funding opportunity supports U.S.-based researchers and organizations in developing innovative cancer communication strategies using advanced technologies to improve cancer prevention, control, and patient care.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to early-career researchers currently holding specific NIAMS career development awards, helping them advance their research projects and transition to independent research careers in arthritis, musculoskeletal, and skin diseases.

This funding opportunity provides $350,000 annually to organizations that will establish a collaboration office to improve early childhood education and support services for American Indian and Alaska Native children and families.

This grant provides funding to researchers for planning clinical trials that improve cancer prevention, treatment, and care, addressing gaps in knowledge and feasibility to enhance study design and outcomes.

This funding opportunity supports healthcare systems in implementing and studying coordinated pain care models that improve pain management for underserved populations through collaborative, evidence-based approaches.

This funding opportunity supports high-risk, multi-center clinical trials aimed at addressing significant health issues related to diabetes, digestive diseases, and kidney disorders, encouraging diverse institutions to apply for impactful research that can transform clinical practices.

This FOA solicits the development of theories, computational models, and analytical tools to derive understanding of brain function from complex neuroscience data. Proposed projects could develop tools to integrate existing theories or formulate new theories; conceptual frameworks to organize or fuse data to infer general principles of brain function; multiscale/multiphysics models to generate new testable hypotheses to design/drive future experiments; new analytical methods to either support or refute a stated hypothesis about brain function. It is expected that the tools developed under this FOA will be made widely available to the neuroscience research community for their use and modification. Investigative studies should be limited to model parameter estimation and/or validity testing of the tools being developed.
