The U.S. Embassy in Prague Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce an opportunity for not-for-profit organizations/non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or academic institutions to submit project proposals to carry out a program of empowering young Roma individuals in the Czech Republic through the development and implementation of a comprehensive English language training program, complemented by soft skills training tailored specifically for this demographic. The overarching goal of this program is to address the critical need for enhanced English language proficiency and the cultivation of essential soft skills among the Roma youth population. This program aims to create pathways for improved access to education, expanded employment opportunities, increased social integration for Roma youth across the Czech Republic, and greater capacity to participate in international exchanges and collaborate with international NGOs. Priority Region: Czech Republic, with particular emphasis on activities outside the capital of Prague Participants and Audiences: The program targets young Roma individuals aged 15-25 residing in the Czech Republic, with a particular emphasis on reaching those facing socio-economic barriers to education and employment opportunities. Competitive proposals will create program cohorts in more than one Czech city. Proposals should include information on which specific cities will be targeted for courses, how many students will be enrolled, and what age cohorts within the target will be included in the proposed programs. Project Activities: Project activities, which can be carried out directly by the primary implementing organization or which may include sub-awards to partner organizations, should include all the following components: English Language Proficiency Enhancement: Develop a dynamic and interactive English language curriculum catered to the specific needs and backgrounds of young Roma individuals. Develop a schedule of courses that utilize innovative teaching methodologies, multimedia resources, and culturally relevant content to create a supportive and engaging learning environment. Soft Skills Development: Develop and provide comprehensive and age-appropriate training modules focusing on essential soft skills, which may include topics such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, job interviews, public speaking, computer skills, and leadership. Through experiential learning activities, role-playing scenarios, and real-world applications, participants should gain the necessary skills and confidence to navigate academic, professional, and social contexts effectively. Empowerment and Opportunities: Offer mentorship opportunities, networking, and access to resources aimed at holistic personal and professional development. This includes guidance on career pathways, educational opportunities, and strategies for overcoming societal barriers faced by Roma youth. Monitoring and Evaluation: Implement robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to track the progress and impact of the program. Regular assessments, feedback sessions, and qualitative analysis will ensure continuous improvement and accountability throughout program implementation. Proposals should note how many students will participate, expected completion rates, and how progress on skills will be measured, including whether participants will receive any kind of certification for completing the program. Program Performance Period: Proposed programs should be completed in 24 months or less. All application materials must be submitted by email to grantsprague@state.gov with the subject line Empowerment for Young Roma through English Language. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered.

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications proposing mechanistic transdisciplinary research in animal models that integrates approaches across social/cognitive neuroscience with perspectives from fields with complementary approaches to the study of social behavior, with the goal of developing a testable conceptual or computational model that provides mechanistic insights into social behavior and its relationships with the onset, trajectory and impact of Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and comorbidities. This NOFO is intended to support basic or translational research in non-human animal models, including secondary analysis of data from research in animal models. Applications including studies involving human subjects should submit under one of the companion NOFOs.

The overarching goal of the supported research projects will be to determine neural and cognitive mechanisms that underlie the relationship between social cognition/behavior and the SUD trajectory. The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications proposing mechanistic, transdisciplinary research on social behavior and its relationships with the onset, trajectory, and impact of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and comorbidities. This NOFO is intended to support basic or early translational studies that may, but need not, be considered NIH clinical trials; this may include mechanistic clinical trials, observational studies, or secondary analysis of human data. Clinical trials supported by this funding opportunity are limited to mechanistic clinical trials. A mechanistic clinical trial is designed to understand a biological or behavioral process, the pathophysiology of a disease, biomarkers for a disease or response to treatment, or the mechanism of action of an intervention. It is not designed to test the safety or demonstrate the efficacy/effectiveness of an intervention. This NOFO is not intended to support studies designed to test the safety or demonstrate the efficacy of an intervention. Application budgets are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
