The purpose of this program is to (a) promote full integration and collaboration in clinical practices between physical and behavioral health care; (b) support the improvement of integrated care models for physical and behavioral health care to improve overall wellness and physical health status; and (c) promote the implementation and improvement of bidirectional integrated care services, including evidence-based or evidence-informed screening, assessment, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and recovery services for mental and substance use disorders, and co-occurring physical health conditions and chronic diseases through integrated care. State recipients are expected to partner with qualified community programs, health centers, rural health clinics, or Federally Qualified Health Centers to develop and implement an integration program plan. With this program, SAMHSA aims to improve the health outcomes for persons with behavioral health conditions by supporting the adoption and improvement of integrated care models for behavioral and primary physical health.

The FY 2024 Rural Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Training Program, funded by SAMHSA, aims to support rural EMS agencies in training EMS personnel, particularly to address substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Grants of up to $200,000 annually, for a project period of two years, are available to rural EMS agencies operated by local or tribal governments or as non-profit entities. Applications for the FY 2024 cycle are due by March 20, 2024, and for FY 2025 by March 20, 2025. This NOFO allows agencies that applied in a previous fiscal year but did not receive funding to reapply in subsequent years. The program’s key activities include training EMS personnel on identifying and managing substance use and mental health disorders, using trauma-informed and recovery-based approaches, and maintaining relevant certifications. Required activities encompass training on overdose reversal using naloxone, motivational interviewing, working with peer support specialists, and reporting overdose incidents to public health departments. Additionally, grantees can acquire necessary medical and emergency equipment with SAMHSA's prior approval. Optional activities include recruiting and training volunteer EMS personnel, acquiring personal protective equipment (PPE), and training on opioid overdose treatment using medications like buprenorphine. Eligibility for this funding is limited to rural EMS agencies as defined by either nonmetropolitan statistical areas or state designations of rural areas. Each application must include a project narrative of no more than ten pages, budget details, and a certification that the project will serve rural populations. There is a 10% matching funds requirement, and applicants must be registered with eRA Commons, Grants.gov, and SAM.gov before submission. Applications exceeding page or budget limits will not be reviewed. Evaluation criteria include the project's relevance to community needs, feasibility, and organizational capability to deliver training. Additional consideration is given to applications serving underserved communities and advancing DEIA principles. Awardees are required to submit progress reports at six and twelve months, as well as a final project report.

This funding opportunity supports collaborations between academic institutions and industry to develop innovative technologies that improve disease diagnosis, treatment, and management, particularly for underserved populations.

This funding opportunity is designed for previously funded organizations to continue their research on integrating genomic risk assessments into clinical practice, focusing on long-term patient outcomes and data analysis.

This funding opportunity supports research into how certain diabetes medications may influence cancer risk, encouraging studies that explore the underlying biological mechanisms involved.

Wastewater Based Epidemiology involves analyzing the chemical and biological components present in wastewater to gather information about the health and behavior of a population. Localities have used it to monitor drug consumption patterns in their communities and understand local drug usage trends. It holds promise for monitoring the emergence and geographic distribution of novel substances often referred to as emerging threats. In FY2023, the United States Government funded pilot WBE drug projects that collected wastewater samples in over 70 United States communities representing tens of millions of Americans. The samples were analyzed for parent drugs, such as fentanyl and methamphetamine, and metabolites. Researchers shared results with participating sampled communities, local and state partners, and to a limited extent, the government sponsors.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations working to combat domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in rural communities across the U.S.

This grant provides funding for innovative research using invasive brain recording and stimulation techniques in humans to improve understanding of the neural circuits involved in mental health disorders.

The purpose of the NINDS Research Program Award (RPA) is to provide longer-term support, and increased freedom and flexibility, to Program Directors (PDs)/Principal Investigators (PIs), to allow them to redirect their time away from the administrative burden of writing and managing multiple grant applications and towards engaging in the lab. This RPA affords investigators at most career stages the opportunity to advance their long-term research goals, rigorously explore exciting research opportunities, and mentor students and postdoctorates, which support and align with the mission of NINDS. RPAs will support the overall research programs of NINDS-funded investigators for up to 8 years, at a level commensurate with a PD/PIs recent NINDS support (Part 2, Section II). This funding stability will provide eligible investigators increased security, allowing them to undertake research projects that require a longer timeframe or to embark upon research that breaks new ground. Research activities outside of the NINDS mission, or traditionally supported by another NIH Institute or Center, will not be considered through this program. Benefits of the RPA include: A more stable funding environment, facilitating the pursuit of longer-term research goals; Flexible funding, enabling investigators to pursue research opportunities as they arise, not tied to specific aims; Reduced time spent writing grant applications and managing multiple grant awards, allowing investigators to spend more time conducting and overseeing research; More time for PDs/PIs to mentor and foster a diverse workforce in their laboratories. NINDS is committed to enhancing the diversity and inclusiveness of the neuroscience workforce. A diverse NIH-supported scientific workforce, including individuals from underrepresented groups, fosters scientific innovation, enhances global competitiveness, contributes to robust learning environments, and improves the quality of the research.

The Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services (CMS), through its Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, is soliciting applications for the Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model. This is a voluntary, 10-year service delivery and payment model designed to improve maternal health care outcomes for people enrolled in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The TMaH Model will test whether targeted technical (TA) assistance, coupled with payment and delivery system reforms, can drive a whole-person care-delivery approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care while reducing Medicaid and CHIP program expenditures. CMS will select up to 15 state Medicaid agencies (SMAs or Recipients) to participate in the TMaH Model. Up to $17 million dollars in Cooperative Agreement funding will be available to each selected Recipient over the course of the 10-year period of performance for a total of up to $255M investment. CMS will evaluate the following: the TMaH Models impact on rates of lower c-risk cesarean section (c-section), severe maternal morbidity (SMM), incidence of low birthweight infants, changes in experience of care for pregnant and birthing people, and changes in Medicaid and CHIP program expenditures. The TMaH Model aims to improve maternal and child health outcomes while reducing Medicaid and CHIP program expenditures for maternal care through reduced spending on high-cost procedures such as c-sections for low-risk beneficiaries.
