The John T. Sloper Community Fund, managed by the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, is dedicated to enhancing emergency medical services and improving accessibility to emergency health services in Southern Dutchess and Putnam counties, areas previously served by the Sloper-Willen Community Ambulance Service. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to support critical community needs, specifically in life-saving emergency health provisions. The program aims to save lives by equipping local organizations with essential resources and training. The grant targets tax-exempt organizations, police departments, fire companies, and volunteer ambulance services located in or serving Southern Dutchess County and Putnam County, New York. Additionally, for the Cardiovascular Fund, tax-exempt organizations in Dutchess County, New York are eligible. The primary impact goal is to strengthen the emergency medical response infrastructure within these communities, ensuring residents have timely access to critical care and equipment. The fund's priorities include providing Automatic External Defibrillator Devices (AEDs), including necessary materials and training, and supporting organizations in becoming First Responders in areas currently lacking such services. It also focuses on supplying equipment to enhance the overall delivery of emergency medical services. Approximately $20,000 is available annually, with up to $3,500 per grant anticipated for AEDs, training, and support materials, indicating a strategic focus on tangible and immediate improvements in emergency response capabilities. The expected outcomes are a significant increase in the availability of AEDs, a rise in trained First Responders, and an overall improvement in the quality and speed of emergency medical services. Measurable results will include the number of AEDs distributed, the number of individuals trained, and the establishment of new First Responder units. The foundation's theory of change posits that by directly investing in equipment and training for local emergency service providers, it can directly contribute to a more robust and responsive healthcare safety net, ultimately leading to more lives saved and healthier communities. Preference is given to organizations that have not received funding in the prior year, ensuring a broader reach and equitable distribution of resources.

The New York State Spinal Cord Injury Research Board (SCIRB) aims to accelerate the progress of spinal cord injury (SCI) research by supporting translational research efforts that bring preclinical findings closer to clinical application. The SCIRB is particularly focused on addressing key knowledge gaps that hinder scientific advancement in SCI research. This funding opportunity, known as the Translational Research Projects (TRP) in Spinal Cord Injury (Round 7), seeks to provide financial support for projects that validate, optimize, or refine tools, technologies, and treatments designed to alleviate or cure SCI-induced paralysis. The Request for Applications (RFA) under this program provides funding for researchers working on mid-to-late-stage translational research, ensuring a clear and feasible path from research findings to clinical implementation. The program supports projects that are based on well-established hypotheses and early translational findings and aims to improve SCI treatment methodologies significantly. While matching funds are not required, applicants and their collaborating institutions are encouraged to contribute additional cash or in-kind funds to support their projects. The SCIRB has allocated approximately $8 million in state funds for this funding cycle, supporting up to two awards. The specific number of awards granted will depend on the quality of applications received. Each award may include up to $1,000,000 in annual direct costs, with additional funding available for Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs capped at 20% of modified total direct costs. The contract term for awarded projects will be up to five years. Interested applicants must apply through the New York State Financial System (SFS) by searching for the grant opportunity name. While a Letter of Interest is not required, it is strongly encouraged. Questions related to the RFA must be submitted by April 15, 2025, with responses posted on or around April 22, 2025. The final application deadline is May 14, 2025, at 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. The funding opportunity is limited to researchers and institutions within New York State. All funded projects must be conducted within the state, aligning with SCIRB’s mission to advance SCI research locally. Applicants must follow all outlined submission requirements in the RFA and ensure their projects demonstrate a clear potential for clinical translation.
