T. Bheemasetti (Civil and Architectural Engineering and Mechanics) 

Limiting Language
Only one application per institution (normally identified by having a unique UEI number) is allowed. As defined in the HHS Grants Policy Statement, applications received in response to the same NOFO generally are scored individually and then ranked with other applications under peer review in their order of relative programmatic, technical, or scientific merit. CDC/NIOSH will not accept any application in response to this NOFO that is essentially the same as one currently pending initial peer review unless the applicant withdraws the pending application.

Purpose
 
NIOSH is seeking applications from qualified organizations for a National Center for Construction Safety and Health Research and Translation (also known as the NIOSH National Construction Center). Applicants are expected to propose multi-disciplinary approaches for impactful applied and intervention research and hazard identification and controls, to develop partnerships for implementing prevention and intervention activities, and to serve as leaders in research translation and research-to-practice for the protection of construction workers in the United States. The NIOSH National Construction Center will accomplish these goals by 1) integrating and advancing research, 2) translating and disseminating best practices, 3) disseminating information, 4) informing policy, and 5) building capacity. Applicants must describe the occupational health and safety burden(s) addressed in their proposals. In addition, they must link the need for the proposed research and related activities to the planned outputs and outcomes that will help address or alleviate the construction sector burdens described. Applicants should also describe the anticipated impacts and potential outcomes of the proposed research and related activities that will occur during the 5-year project period and beyond.

Paul Teschan Research Fund (PTRF)

Limit: 3 // Tickets Available: 0

G. Martin-Alemañy (Nutritional Sciences and Wellness)
B. Tanriover (COM-T)
S. Kharait (COM-T)

Limiting Language
A limit of three proposals from each sponsoring academic institution is imposed to enable fair and broad support for DCI-affiliated investigators.

Overview 
The Paul Teschan Research Fund (PTRF) of Dialysis Clinic, Inc. (DCI) offers grant support for research
related to human kidney disease. Research methods may range from basic science to clinical and
epidemiologic research. Support from this fund, named to honor Paul Teschan, MD, a distinguished
investigator, clinician and advisor to DCI, is intended to promote investigations of current or eventual clinical
significance that might not be able to achieve funding from NIH or other national sources because of their
clinical nature, their early stage of work, or other reasons. The PTRF is a source of funding for worthy
projects where other sources are unavailable.

A limit of three proposals from each sponsoring academic institution is imposed to enable fair and broad
support for DCI-affiliated investigators. Each individual grants are limited to $60,000 per year, including
institutional overhead. The funding period for PTRF research grants is Jan 1 – Dec 31. The initial award
installment is contingent on the project passing DCI’s legal, compliance and regulatory review. This includes
obtaining IRB or IACUC approvals. Subsequent installments are contingent upon adherence to the award
letter.

Preference will be given to earlier research career investigators and to projects considered most relevant
to understanding and treatment of clinical kidney conditions and their complications. All proposals will be
reviewed for scientific merit and significance by external reviewers and also by a panel of DCI-affiliated
nephrologists (Application Review Committee) as part of the competitive application process. Renewal of
ongoing PTRF funding projects is given preference, but is not automatic. Grant awards are merit based.
PTRF grants may not be used to fund salaries of investigators, but may support other personnel active in
the project as approved by DCI. Capital equipment costing $1500 or more may not be included in PTRF
budgets. Overhead is limited to 20% ($10,000). Travel may be requested in the budget during Year 2 and
Year 3 if work from the PTRF project is being presented at a conference, but this may not exceed $1500
per year. No travel will be supported by Year 1 funds. Projects will only be funded for one year at a time
and may be funded for a total of three (3) consecutive years. Year 2 and Year 3 applications will undergo
competitive review by the Application Review Committee for continued funding based on progress
described in a DCI PTRF Study Progress Report. Applications for Year 2 and Year 3 funding will be
reviewed in the same way as an initial application, including reassessment of the scientific merit of the work
proposed as well as the addition of a detailed review of the work accomplished. Grants may not be renewed
in the absence of progress satisfactory reports.

Transatlantic Partnership Program

No Applicants // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

Limiting Language
Applicants may submit one proposal per organization. Please note that if we receive multiple proposals from the same organization, we will be unable to consider any of them for funding under this opportunity.

Executive Summary 
The Public Diplomacy Section at the U.S. Mission to Germany invites proposals under its Partnership Program to strengthen the transatlantic relationship between the United States and Germany. As the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of its founding (Freedom 250), this program supports forward-looking initiatives that highlight the enduring strength of the bilateral partnership and advance shared democratic principles.

The Partnership Program seeks innovative projects that deepen mutual understanding, foster collaboration, and engage key German audiences in meaningful dialogue with the United States. In recognition of the breadth of the transatlantic relationship, proposals are encouraged in areas central to U.S.–German cooperation, including collaboration in sports, science, and space; efforts to counter anti-Semitism and support freedom of speech; and initiatives that measure and amplify the long-term impact of exchange programs.

Programs focused on science, technology, and space may highlight U.S.–German cooperation in innovation, research, and exploration as a shared frontier advancing knowledge and partnership. Sports diplomacy initiatives may leverage major global sporting events to promote leadership, collaboration, and teamwork while advancing common goals. Projects addressing anti-Semitism and freedom of expression should combat hate, protect constitutionally protected speech, promote open dialogue, and strengthen institutional resilience. Proposals that assess and highlight the long- term impact of exchange programs and sister city partnerships are encouraged to demonstrate the lasting value of transatlantic engagement.

All projects must feature substantial U.S. elements, clearly define and prioritize German audiences, and present a strategic implementation plan. Competitive proposals will demonstrate measurable objectives designed to increase awareness, shape attitudes, strengthen skills, or build sustainable networks that advance U.S.–German cooperation.

Each application must include a robust monitoring and evaluation plan outlining how outputs and outcomes will be tracked and assessed. Successful programs will contribute directly to strengthening the transatlantic partnership and reinforcing the United States as a forward-looking, reliable partner guided by strong institutional principles.
