Grant Categories 
The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation awards four types of research grants: 

1. Legacy Researcher Grant (up to $100,000 per year, up to 2 years for translational research and up to $150,000 per year, for three years, for basic science research) 
   This grant is given to a long-standing PCRF-funded researcher for at least five years, who has demonstrated consistent progress and outcomes in pediatric cancer research. This funding category aims to support and sustain ongoing initiatives, ensuring that momentum is maintained on critical projects with potential for cures.  
2. Translational Research Grants (up to $100,000 per year, up to 2 years)  
   This grant is given to single or multi-institutional programs that involve open, cancer clinical trials or consortia, and implement new approaches to therapy. These grants support “bench to bedside” research, whose endpoint is often the planning or initiation of a clinical trial. 
3. Emerging Investigator Fellowship Grants (up to $75,000 for one year) 
   These grants are designed to support Post-Doctoral Fellowships and Clinical Investigator training for emerging pediatric cancer researchers to pursue exciting research ideas. Applicants must have completed two years of their fellowship or not more than two years as a junior faculty instructor or assistant professor at the start of the award period. These grants encourage and cultivate the best and brightest researchers of the future. 
4. Donor Designated Grant Programs 
   These grants fund projects in communities or regions local to the specific donor or fundraising activity. Outside contributing organizations, fundraisers and donors work with the Foundation to identify a specific project and/or specific doctor, focus on a specific disease type, facility or awareness program. Grants can be for any specific amount as designated by the donor or contributing organization. PCRF will not accept grant application without an approved Letter of Intent (LOI). Please refer to the guidelines contained in this document for the specific guidelines.

You may not submit more than one application. If you submit more than one
application, we will only accept the last on-time submission.|

If an entity applies as part of a consortium, the entity is not eligible to submit a
separate, stand-alone application.

Purpose
The purpose of the Addiction Medicine Fellowship (AMF) program is to expand the
number of fellows at accredited AMF and Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship (APF)
programs trained as addiction medicine specialists who practice in medically
underserved, community-based settings that integrate primary care with mental health
disorder and substance use disorder (SUD) prevention and treatment services. The
fellowship must include training in prevention and treatment services in medically
underserved, community-based settings, including in rural areas, that do not have
access or have limited access to SUD treatment. The program includes training for both
addiction medicine and/or addiction psychiatry fellows. Its goal is to increase the
number of physicians who are board-certified specialists in addiction medicine or
addiction psychiatry who will serve in medically underserved community-based
settings, including in rural areas, once trained. The program supports training to:
 

• Increase the number of fellows trained to practice addiction medicine and
  addiction psychiatry in rural and other medically underserved community-based
  settings.
• Establish partnerships with clinical rotation sites in rural or other underserved
  areas, that focus on the integration of primary care with mental health and SUD
  prevention and treatment services.
• Increase fellows’ knowledge and ability to assist their patients with referrals to
  navigate the legal and social systems related to patients’ clinical or care needs.
• Increase awareness of the specialty and reduce provider stigma to increase the
  number of physicians interested in pursuing careers in addiction medicine and
  addiction psychiatry through the provision of clinical rotations that expose
  medical residents to practice in these specialties and through education and
  consultation.

NIFA requests applications for the Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) program for fiscal year (FY) 2025 to address critical state, regional and national integrated pest management (IPM) needs to ensure food security and respond effectively to other major societal pest management challenges. The CPPM program supports projects that address these challenges with IPM approaches developed by coordinated state, regional, and national research, and extension efforts. The impact of these research and extension efforts will be increased by the establishment of communication networks and stakeholder participation in setting priorities. In FY 2025, NIFA will only accept competitive applications for funding in the Applied Research and Development Program (ARDP) area of CPPM. NIFA will fund current Extension Implementation Program (EIP) and Regional Coordination Program (RCP) area projects through continuation applications. 

Duplicate or Multiple Submissions – duplicate or multiple submissions are not allowed. NIFA will disqualify both applications if an applicant submits duplicate or multiple submissions. For those new to Federal financial assistance, NIFA’s Grants Overview provides highly recommended information about grants and other resources to help understand the Federal awards process. 

Match Required – Applicants for the ARDP areas MUST provide matching contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis for all Federal funds awarded under the CPPM program. By statute, match may include funds from an agricultural commodity promotion, research, and information programs. Non-Federal matching funds may include in-kind support. NIFA may waive the matching funds requirement for a grant if one of the following applies: 1. The results of the project, while of particular benefit to a specific agricultural commodity, are likely to be applicable to agricultural commodities generally; or 2. The project involves a minor commodity, the project deals with scientifically important research, and the grant recipient is unable to satisfy the matching funds requirement.

Purpose and Priorities
For the Women and Minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Fields (WAMS) program, NIFA will support projects with a target audience of K-14 students (kindergarten through twelfth grade plus two years of post-secondary schooling (e.g., vocational technical institutions or community or junior colleges)).  

Four-year undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral focused projects will not be awarded under this grant announcement. Projects with a primary target of four-year undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral studies should consider other NIFA workforce development focused programs. The purpose of this program is to support integrated education/teaching and extension/outreach projects that increase participation by women and underrepresented minorities from rural areas in STEM. For a definition of “underrepresented minorities” and “rural area” please visit Appendix III of this RFA. NIFA intends for this program to address educational needs, as determined by each institution, within broadly defined areas of food and agricultural sciences and their allied disciplines. 

Applications recommended for funding must highlight and emphasize the development of a competent and qualified workforce in the food and agricultural enterprise. WAMS-funded projects should improve the economic health and viability of rural communities by developing education and extension initiatives that focus on new and emerging employment opportunities in STEM occupations for women and underrepresented minorities. Projects that contribute to the economic viability of rural communities are also encouraged.  

Duplicate or Multiple Submission – Submissions of duplicate (other than revisions) or predominantly overlapping applications are not allowed. In FY2025, an eligible applicant may submit up to two applications on behalf of multiple institution’s staff whereas they are not essentially duplications of the same project or portions of the same project to multiple programs. NIFA will disqualify both applications if an applicant submits duplicate submissions. For additional information or clarification please contact the NIFA POC listed in this RFA.
