This grant provides funding for research projects that explore the complex relationship between adolescent social media use and mental health, particularly focusing on risks, resilience factors, and the experiences of underserved youth.

This funding opportunity supports researchers conducting early-phase clinical trials for new treatments and diagnostics related to heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders in both adults and children.

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support radiation research at all stages of development for the identification of biomarkers of injury and the development of assays or devices for the purpose of triage, including assessing absorbed dose or predicting health outcomes of acute or delayed injuries resulting from radiation exposure during a public health emergency. This NOFO will support the development of these approaches, with the goal of future regulatory approval. The focus of this NOFO is the development and validation of rapid, reliable, inexpensive, and easy-to-use techniques/assays and devices for use in all segments of the civilian population including geriatric, pediatric, and immune-compromised individuals. Thus, research activities ranging from immediate, early, and delayed changes in radiation-related biomarkers, studies exploring the biokinetics of the proposed biomarker signature, and studies to predict the acute or chronic health outcome in one or more organs are requested. The selection of radiation exposure type, dose level, and dose rates proposed for studies should be relevant to a radiological or nuclear incident and verified by appropriate dosimetry assessments. The ideal radiation signature will be measurable in a non-invasive or minimally invasive way (e.g., finger stick, urine, saliva, or skin scraping as opposed to spinal fluid or complex imaging) that will allow for repeated assays over time, is sensitive to incremental differences in radiation exposure, is specific over a wide range of radiation doses and dose rates and has utility for different qualities of radiation (high and low linear energy transfer).

This funding opportunity supports researchers exploring the use of microorganisms for innovative cancer therapies and imaging techniques, particularly in areas where traditional treatments fall short.

The IIJA/IRA Bureau of Land Management National Operations Center (NOC) Plant Conservation and Restoration Management grant aims to fund projects that increase the use of locally adapted native seeds for public land restoration, enhance biodiversity, improve climate resilience, and involve underserved communities, with a total of $800,000 available for individual awards ranging from $25,000 to $500,000.

This funding opportunity supports research aimed at improving drug safety and effectiveness for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children, encouraging innovative studies that address their unique health needs.

This funding opportunity provides access to a specialized facility for researchers developing innovative, safe, and effective non-hormonal contraceptive methods for men and women, supporting preclinical studies necessary for future clinical trials.

This funding opportunity supports research projects that develop and evaluate interventions to improve long-term health outcomes for individuals living with traumatic brain injury, particularly focusing on chronic care management and community-based support.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for under-resourced U.S. institutions to acquire advanced scientific instruments that enhance biomedical research and education, particularly for students from diverse and underserved backgrounds.

FY 2024 Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant

This program provides financial support to individuals who become living organ donors, helping cover costs like lost wages, transportation, and care for dependents, particularly for those from underserved communities.

This funding opportunity supports research collaborations between academic institutions and community behavioral health organizations to improve outpatient mental health and substance use treatment through evidence-based practices.

The "Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. Systems Coordination Provider" grant aims to fund technical assistance and systems coordination in specific U.S. jurisdictions to reduce new HIV infections by diagnosing, treating, preventing, and responding to HIV outbreaks, while also encouraging innovative approaches and coordination of resources to maximize the impact of HIV care delivery systems.

The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies in conjunction with agricultural production in the United States and its territories. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) to agricultural producers, into government technical manuals and guides, or to the private sector. CIG generally funds pilot projects, field demonstrations, and on-farm conservation research. On-farm conservation research is defined as an investigation conducted to answer a specific applied conservation question using a statistically valid design while employing farm-scale equipment on farms, ranches or private forest lands. The CIG program is not a NRCS producer financial assistance program. Project outcomes should benefit a region of a state or the entire state and not just benefit one farm. NRCS will prioritize projects that will implement climate-smart agriculture conservation activities which are targeted to assist agricultural producers and nonindustrial private forestland owners in directly improving soil carbon, reducing nitrogen losses, or reducing, capturing, avoiding, or sequestering carbon dioxide, methane, or nitrous oxide emissions, associated with agricultural production. All CIG projects must involve EQIP-eligible producers that meet EQIPs eligibility requirements listed in 7 CFR 1466.6(b)(1) through (3).

This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations that improve legal representation for juveniles in the justice system, focusing on enhancing defense services and ensuring equitable access for marginalized youth.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations looking to establish or expand comprehensive healthcare services for elderly individuals in underserved rural areas.
