PH RFP 250031: Substance Use Prevention & Response Interventions

Limit: 1 // Available: 0 

S. Soto (Public Health, Policy & Translational Research)

Maricopa County is committed to tackling the challenges of substance use in our community. The opioid settlement funds provide only a small part of what’s needed to address substance misuse in Maricopa County. The challenges are complex and the intent of MCDPH is to ensure that every dollar is used wisely to create the most impact. This means:

  • Focus on projects that deliver immediate, measurable results and lay the groundwork for long-term change. The intent is to engage programs that meet urgent needs and address root causes of substance misuse so that the community benefits now and in the future. 

  • Use strong data collection and evaluation practices to measure how well the programs work. This helps MCDPH to make informed decisions, improve our strategies, and ensure that funded programs truly make a difference. 

  • Align our funding with other community resources. MCDPH will focus on areas where our money can fill gaps and support ongoing efforts, making our response as effective as possible. 

Organizations may choose to apply for one or more focus areas and may propose multiple activities under each focus area. However, each organization can only submit one application, and the total budget for all proposed activities may not exceed $500,000.

1. Increase capacity for food, garden, and nutrition education within host organizations or entities and school cafeterias and in the classroom;
2. Complement and build on the efforts of the farm to school programs implemented under section 18(g) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act [(42 U.S.C. 1769(g)]
3. Complement efforts by the Department and school food authorities to implement the school lunch programs established under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq,) and the school breakfast program established by section 4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1773);
4. Carry out activities that advance the nutritional health of children and nutrition education in elementary schools and secondary schools (as those terms are defined in section 9101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C 7801); and
5. Foster higher levels of community engagement and support the expansion of national service and volunteer opportunities.

FASLP supports projects that bring together stakeholders from the distinct parts of the food system to increase the capacity for food, garden, and nutrition education within host organizations or entities, such as school cafeterias and classrooms, while fostering higher levels of community engagement between farms and school systems. The goal of these efforts is to not only increase access to school meals for underserved children, but also to dramatically improve their quality.

FASLP is also focused on the development of leadership skills, knowledge, and qualities necessary to prepare students for food and agricultural and related careers in the private sector, government, and academia.

FY25 Mellon Foundation: Sawyer Seminar

Following this 2024-2025 cycle, the competition will be paused in 2025-2026 for an evaluation of the pilot’s outcomes that will inform a full re-launch planned for 2026-2027.

 

We are delighted to announce a pilot for Mellon’s re-envisioning of the Seminars, in celebration of their 30th anniversary this October. Since 1994, the Sawyer Seminar program has provided support for comparative research on historical and contemporary topics of scholarly significance. In recent years, Mellon’s grantmaking has reflected a new strategic priority of imagining and creating socially just, equitable futures. In an effort to align Sawyers more closely with this goal, we are reorienting the program for the 2024 competition and beyond to focus on the study of major social and political challenges that directly impact the structures and practices characterizing the American university.

Through this shift, we seek to celebrate the program’s original mission of elevating critical scholarship while also reframing the Seminars for our present moment, when universities—and, especially, humanities study—are facing a myriad of unprecedented challenges. We envision Sawyer Seminars, which for nearly three decades have been a vehicle for transformative thought, as a useful means through which humanities-grounded, multidisciplinary teams of faculty and other academic leaders can collaboratively address critical issues affecting their campuses. Accordingly, the subject we are asking applicants to consider this year is academic freedom and democracy in the American university.

The overall format of the envisioned seminars remains largely unchanged. The main variation is that, while earlier Sawyer competitions were largely centered on comparative historical study, this year's submissions should focus specifically on the future of the American university. We are especially eager to see innovative humanistic approaches and methods of inquiry brought to bear on the topic of academic freedom and democracy in the American university. More detailed guidelines, a program overview, and an official invitation to submit will be shared over the summer.

In the meantime, on behalf of the Higher Learning team, I thank you for your continued interest in Sawyer Seminars as we enter their next phase. We hope this brief update allows you to initiate plans for your internal search for proposals, and we look forward to being in touch again soon with further details.

Submit ticket request  // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1 

 

Only one (1) application will be accepted from a submitting organization.

The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to create and provide state and local criminal justice policy teams or pretrial services agencies with an implementation toolkit using A Framework for Pretrial Justice: Essential Elements of a Pretrial System and Agency Implementation.

DOJ O-OVW-2024-171935: 2024 Restorative Practices Pilot Sites Program

Submit ticket request  // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1 

 

OVW will consider only one application per organization for the same service area (i.e., the geographic area to be served). 

 

As people harmed by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking seek expanded options to address the harm they have experienced, communities have continued to strengthen and improve their responses, approaches, and services. One such approach is restorative practices.  Restorative practices incorporate an understanding of trauma and are intended to repair and address the harm experienced while providing meaningful accountability for the harm-doer. An effective restorative practices program is completely voluntary for the person harmed, promotes their autonomy, and prioritizes their safety, while promoting meaningful justice, accountability, and community safety.  

The Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022, 34 U.S.C. § 12514, authorizes funding to eligible entities to develop and implement a program, or to assess best practices for: 1) restorative practices to prevent or address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking; 2) training by eligible entities, or for eligible entities, courts or prosecutors, on restorative practices and program implementation; and 3) evaluations of a restorative practice, as defined within the statute.  Accordingly, OVW is launching the Restorative Practices Pilot Program in three (3) phases: 1) Training and Technical Assistance; 2) Evaluation; and 3) Pilot Sites.

Phase 3: Pilot Sites (this solicitation) -- This Restorative Practices Pilot Sites Program is a 60-month funding opportunity seeking to support, strengthen, enhance, and expand existing restorative practice programs that prevent or address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, in accordance with the “restorative practices” definition at 34 U.S.C. § 12514(a)(3), and build evidence for victimcentered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive restorative practices addressing these harms. 

 

OVW estimates that it will make up to 15 awards for an estimated $23,000,000. Awards under this program for FY 2024 will be made for up to $1,500,000.
