Summary 
This project will fund one technical assistance (TA) provider who will identify eight states with unmet need among communities disproportionately impacted by HIV. The TA provider will develop comprehensive asset maps (i.e., maps of services, epidemiologic data and other relevant information that provide a visual depiction of the HIV landscape)  or each state. These maps will include resources and potential new partners that can be leveraged to address out of care populations. The TA provider will then plan and execute a two to three day in-person meeting for each state; all Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) recipients in the state will be included in the meeting. During the meeting, the RWHAP Parts will review the asset maps and develop a plan that has concrete goals and objectives, as well as actionable steps for reaching and engaging out of care populations, and which outlines the responsible parties. The plan will directly support national HIV goals and serve as a tool to track and monitor progress toward meeting the project goals.

You may submit only one application in response to this NOFO. That application can apply to only one category of the NOFO.  Applications under which two or more entities (project partners) would carry out the federal award will be considered. However, only one entity may be the applicant for the NOFO; any others must be proposed as subrecipients. See the Application Resource Guide for additional information on subawards. 

Purpose of Funding 
This program will support the development, improvement, and/or implementation of emergency planning activities for state, Tribal, county, and local juvenile justice residential facilities. Funding will help ensure that facilities are prepared to prioritize the safety and well-being of youth and staff, keep families informed, continue operations, and reduce risk to the facility during and after an emergency. The goal of the program is to help facilities improve their ability to respond to and recover from these incidents. For the purposes of this program, emergency is defined as an incident—natural, technological, or nonnatural—that requires a response to protect life, property, or the environment. 

Funds may be used to restore essential services and operations. In general, funds may be used to cover costs that:  

•  Ensure safety and well-being for youth and staff during emergencies.  
• Maintain efficient continuation of facility operations to prevent disruptions and reduce risk to the facility.   

Submissions will require an institutional letter of support. Because of this support requirement, this is an Institutionally Coordinated Submission. For questions, please contact sponsored projects at sponsor@arizona.edu.

Please note, in accordance to the updated eligibility criteria, the University of Arizona is only eligible for tracks 2 and 3. Per S-STEM restrictions and current U of A S-STEM projects and proposals, applicants may not target STEM students in the following disciplines: Engineering, computer science, information science. The following majors may also be excluded: Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Geosciences, Geosciences and Society, Hydrology & Atmospheric Sciences, Applied Biotechnology, Biosystems Analytics & Technology, Environmental & Water Resource Economics, Environmental Science, Microbiology, Plant Science, Sustainable Plant System, BAS Applied Computing, BAS Cyber Operations, BAS Intelligence & Information Operations

For a given S-STEM deadline, an institution may submit up to two proposals in which it will be directly involved in providing scholarships. Multiple proposals from an institution must not overlap with regard to S-STEM eligible disciplines. See Additional Eligibility Information below for more details (see IV. Eligibility Information).

Institutions with a current S-STEM award should wait at least until the end of the third year of execution of their current award before submitting a new Track 2 or Track 3 S-STEM proposal focused on students pursuing degrees in the same discipline(s).

Program Overview 
The main goal of the S-STEM program is to enable academically talented, low-income students to pursue successful careers in promising STEM fields. Ultimately, the S-STEM program seeks to increase the number of academically promising low-income students who graduate with an S-STEM eligible degree and contribute to the American innovation economy with their STEM knowledge. Recognizing that financial aid alone cannot increase retention and graduation in STEM, the program provides awards to institutions of higher education (IHEs) not only to fund scholarships, but also to adapt, implement, and study evidence-based curricular and co-curricular[a] activities that have been shown to be effective in supporting recruitment, retention, transfer (if appropriate), student success, academic/career pathways, and graduation in STEM.

To be eligible, scholars must be domestic low-income students with academic ability, talent, or potential and demonstrated unmet financial need who are enrolled in an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree program in an S-STEM eligible discipline. Proposers must provide an analysis that articulates the characteristics and academic needs of the population of students they are trying to serve. NSF is particularly interested in supporting the attainment of degrees in fields identified as critical needs for the Nation. It is up to the proposer to make a compelling case that such a field serves a critical need in the United States.

[a] an activity at a school or college pursued in addition to the normal course of study.

Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Applied Science

Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Master of Engineering

Doctoral (Ph.D. or other comparable doctoral degree)

S-STEM Eligible Disciplines

Disciplinary fields in which research is funded by NSF, including technology fields associated with the S-STEM-eligible disciplines (e.g., biotechnology, chemical technology, engineering technology, information technology, etc.).

The following degrees and disciplines are excluded:

• Clinical degree programs, including medical degrees, nursing, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, and others not funded by NSF, are ineligible degrees.
• Programs for STEM teacher certification or licensure currently covered by the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program (NOYCE) are ineligible for S-STEM funding.
• Business school programs that lead to Bachelor of Arts or Science in Business Administration degrees (BABA/BSBA/BBA) are not eligible for S-STEM funding.
• Masters and Doctoral degrees in Business Administration are also excluded.

Proposers are strongly encouraged to contact Program Officers before submitting a proposal if they have questions concerning degree or disciplinary eligibility.

The S-STEM program particularly encourages proposals from 2-year institutions, predominately undergraduate institutions, and urban, suburban, and rural public institutions.

An institution may submit only one Center (and related Projects) application in response to this RFP.

Purpose
The intent of this initiative is to support a collaborative network of researchers whose collective efforts will lead to enhanced understanding of the earlier detection and/or delaying progression of valvular heart disease. Therefore, this Request for Proposals seeks applications that can address these critical questions and stimulate significant advances in these areas of valvular heart disease. All proposed projects must address valvular heart disease. Within that context and as presented above, an array of potential areas of investigation exists. Both human studies and appropriately designed animal models that can foster understanding of valvular heart disease may be proposed. 

STUDY POPULATION(S)

• For studies involving human subjects, researchers must ensure that participant populations accurately reflect those affected by the disease under investigation. Efforts should be made to include individuals whose health criteria align with the prevalence and impact of the disease, thereby enhancing the relevance and applicability of the study findings.
  
   
• Important: Applicants should design studies that incorporate both realistic recruitment goals and sufficient statistical power to ensure valid results.
