The NIAID Research Opportunities for New and "At-Risk" Investigators to Promote Workforce Diversity (R01 Clinical Trial Optional), designated as PAR-22-241, is a funding opportunity issued by the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The program targets New Investigators (NI) and At-Risk Investigators from underrepresented backgrounds in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences. New Investigators are those who have not previously secured substantial independent NIH funding, while At-Risk Investigators are those with previous funding but face a lack of funding in the following fiscal year unless a new grant is awarded. This initiative aligns with the goals of the 21st Century Cures Act to encourage new researchers, foster early independence, and support a more diverse scientific workforce. This funding announcement supports research relevant to the NIAID mission, including the study and treatment of infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases. Research areas of focus include microbiology, immunology, infectious diseases, AIDS, transplantation, and emerging diseases. Although clinical trials are optional, applicants proposing NIH-defined clinical trials must consult with NIAID before submission. The funding opportunity is open to projects that advance diversity in the R01 investigator pool and those promoting representation from underrepresented groups in line with NIH’s interest in enhancing diversity across all health-related fields. To apply, investigators must be affiliated with U.S.-based higher education institutions or eligible nonprofits and for-profit organizations. This opportunity is also open to minority-serving institutions, such as Hispanic-serving Institutions, HBCUs, and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible, although foreign components of U.S. organizations are permitted. An essential part of the application process is an Eligibility Certification Letter from the applicant institution verifying the applicant’s eligibility and alignment with the program’s diversity objectives. Applications missing this letter will be considered incomplete. Funding levels are based on the project’s actual needs and are not capped, with a project duration of up to five years. NIAID also expects applicants to allocate funding in their budgets for mandatory attendance at a workshop designed to foster networking, collaboration, and professional growth among awardees, to be held every three years starting in 2025. Additional support for necessary accommodations for researchers with disabilities may also be included in the budget. The application process requires thorough adherence to NIH’s submission guidelines, which include registrations with SAM, Grants.gov, eRA Commons, and the acquisition of a UEI. Applications are accepted electronically through the NIH ASSIST system, Grants.gov Workspace, or a system-to-system solution. The next deadline cycle follows NIH’s standard due dates, with submissions due at 5:00 PM local time. Applicants are advised to submit early to address potential errors before the due date. Applications will be evaluated on scientific merit and alignment with program priorities, using criteria focused on the significance of the research, investigator qualifications, project innovation, approach, and institutional environment. Specific review criteria for clinical trials include the adequacy of study design, data management, and statistical analysis plans. Following peer review, recommended applications will receive secondary review by the NIAID advisory council. Final award decisions consider both scientific merit and relevance to NIAID’s mission and diversity goals.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (“NOFO”) solicits applications for the State Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program (“Capacity Grant Program” or “Program”), the second of three digital equity programs authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, Division F, Title III, Public Law 117-58, 135 Stat. 429, 1209 (November 15, 2021) (“Infrastructure Act” or “IIJA”) also known as the (“Digital Equity Act” or “DE Act”). The Digital Equity Act appropriated $2.75 billion to be awarded by the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information (“Assistant Secretary”) to promote digital inclusion activities and achieve digital equity. The Digital Equity Act consists of three funding programs: (1) the $60 million State Digital Equity Planning Grant Program; (2) the $1.44 billion State Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program; and (3) the $1.25 billion Competitive Grant Program. NTIA released the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the State Digital Equity Planning Grant Program (“Planning Grant Program”) on May 13, 2022, making funds available to States and Territories to develop State Digital Equity Plans (“Digital Equity Plans”). The Capacity Grant Program will provide funds to States and U.S. Territories to implement the State Digital Equity Plans developed pursuant to the State Digital Equity Planning Grant Program. The Digital Equity Plans identify the barriers to achieving digital equity faced by certain populations defined by the statute (i.e. “Covered Populations”), and include measurable objectives to promote: (1) the availability and affordability of access to broadband technology; (2) online accessibility and inclusivity of public resources and services; (3) digital literacy; (4) awareness of online privacy and cybersecurity; and (5) the availability and affordability of consumer devices and technical support for those devices. In addition, this NOFO establishes a competitive process to make both State Digital Equity Planning Grant Program funds and State Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program funds available to Native Entities to carry out digital equity and inclusion activities consistent with the Digital Equity Act. These proposed projects must include measurable objectives and evaluation criteria as part of their program design and will likewise address barriers to digital equity and promote the availability and affordability of access to broadband technology, online accessibility and inclusivity of public resources and services, digital literacy, awareness of online privacy and cybersecurity, and the availability and affordability of consumer devices and technical support for those devices. Because funding for States and U.S. Territories is based on a statutory allocation formula and funding for Native Entities will be determined through a separate competitive process, this NOFO is divided into sections to help clarify specific requirements applicable to different entities applying for funding. The procedures through which States and U.S. Territories can seek funding are outlined in Section II. Procedures for Native Entities to obtain funding are addressed in Section III. The remaining sections are common to both types of entities. Recognizing that achieving digital equity for all people, including Indigenous peoples of the United States and Territories, is a matter of social and economic justice, this NOFO seeks to enable any entity that is awarded a grant under this Program to better understand, measure, and address systemic barriers to digital equity and, in collaboration with the communities most impacted, co-create the conditions necessary for long-lasting and meaningful change to ensure a sustainable future. Focusing investments on creating these conditions for change will allow entities awarded a grant under this Program to address the causes of socioeconomic disparities and will result in improved outcomes in health, education, economic stability, and quality of life among the Covered Populations.
