The purpose of this Planning Cooperative Agreement is to provide resources to Tribes interested in entering the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP) and to existing Self Governance Tribes interested in assuming new or expanded PSFAs. Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) requires a Tribe or Tribal organization (T/TO) to complete a planning phase to the satisfaction of the Tribe. The planning phase must include legal and budgetary research and internal Tribal government planning and organizational preparation relating to the administration of health care programs. The planning phase is critical to negotiations and helps Tribes make informed decisions about which Programs, Services, Functions, and Activities (PSFAs to assume and what organizational changes or modifications are necessary to successfully support those PSFAs. A thorough planning phase improves timeliness and efficient negotiations and ensures that the Tribe is fully prepared to assume the transfer of IHS PSFAs to the Tribal health program. A Planning Cooperative Agreement is not a prerequisite to enter the TSGP and a Tribe may use other resources to meet the planning requirement. Tribes that receive Planning Cooperative Agreements are not obligated to participate in the TSGP and may choose to delay or decline participation based on the outcome of their planning activities. This also applies to existing Self Governance Tribes exploring the option to expand their current PSFAs or assume additional PSFAs.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) intends to publish a Request for Applications (RFA) seeking applications for a multisite clinical trial that will test a screening approach to identify coronary atherosclerosis and test interventions to reduce the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. There will be only one award for this RFA. The planned RFA will utilize the UG3/UH3 activity code with details provided below. The planned RFA will support a Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) and will run in parallel with a companion RFA for a collaborating Data Coordinating Center (DCC) application.This RFA will accept only an application that is part of a collaborative pair of applications. The pair must include one application to the CCC UG3/UH3 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) plus one application to the companion DCC U24 NOFO.Both a CCC application and a collaborating DCC application must be submitted on the same due date for consideration by NHLBI. CCC (UG3/UH3) applications submitted without a collaborative DCC (U24) application will be deemed incomplete and will not proceed to review. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The planned RFAs are expected to be published in Summer 2024 with an expected application due date in Fall 2024.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to state, local, and territorial public health departments to strengthen their ability to detect, respond to, and prevent emerging infectious diseases.

Reissue of RFA-MH-20-401.This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports pilot work for subsequent studies testing the effectiveness of strategies to deliver evidence-based mental health services, treatment interventions, and/or preventive interventions (EBPs) in low-resource mental health specialty and non-specialty settings within the United States. The FOA targets settings where EBPs are not currently delivered or delivered with fidelity, such that there are disparities in mental health and related functional outcomes (e.g., employment, educational attainment, stable housing, integration in the community, treatment of comorbid substance use disorders, etc.) for the population(s) served. Implementation strategies should identify and use innovative approaches to remediate barriers to provision, receipt, and/or benefit from EBPs and generate new information about factors integral to achieving equity in mental health outcomes for underserved populations.

Black/African Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV since the early days of the epidemic and that disparity has deepened over time. Although they represent only 12% of the population, Black/African Americans account for approximately 43% of new HIV diagnosis. This disparity is further exacerbated by the critical shortage of primary care providers trained to provide counseling, HIV testing, prescribe PrEP and HIV care and treatment. This is especially true for the number of providers working in communities most at-risk for HIV. The purpose of the Building Workforce Capacity through Pathways in HIV Residency Training Program (Pathways Program) is to train internal and family medicine residents in HIV treatment and care management with the goal of increasing the number and diversity of HIV providers.
