Advancing Behavioral Health in Corrections: Training and Policy Innovation Initiative

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

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

Executive Summary
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) acknowledges the pressing challenges facing behavioral health care within correctional settings nationwide. Correctional facilities increasingly contend with complex mental health and substance use issues among incarcerated individuals, yet existing behavioral health services are consistently limited by service gaps, inconsistent institutional policies, and insufficient staff training, as revealed through research and dialogue with NIC’s Mental Health Network. These shortcomings jeopardize the rehabilitation and well- being of those in custody, while also causing elevated staff stress, burnout, and organizational instability. 

Through this cooperative agreement, NIC will launch a comprehensive initiative to address these systemic concerns. The project will encompass an in-depth gap analysis of behavioral health services, a rigorous review of institutional policies to ensure alignment with national standards, and robust stakeholder engagement to inform program development. Input from corrections professionals and behavioral health experts will play a pivotal role in shaping project strategies and solutions.

A primary outcome of these efforts will be the creation of a dynamic behavioral health training e-course designed for correctional staff. This curriculum will draw on evidence-based best practices—including trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders, and crisis intervention strategies. By equipping staff with practical, accessible tools rooted in the realities of correctional work, the initiative will enhance staff skills, foster professional development and wellness, and ultimately contribute to a safer and more stable correctional environment.

Reducing the burden of parasitic infections in the United States through evidence-based prevention and control activities

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

Limiting Language 
Under this NOFO, you may submit only one application under your organization’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).

Summary 
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to decrease the impact of specific parasitic infections in the U.S. with public health practices and disease control strategies. The NOFO focuses on three parasitic infection areas: 
• Chagas disease.
• Soil-transmitted helminths. 
• Other parasitic diseases of domestic concern in the U.S. 

This NOFO will continue CDC’s Parasitic Disease Branch work to help healthcare providers (HCPs) better understand, detect, treat, and prevent parasitic infections. Improved understanding and management of parasitic diseases in the U.S. will help make Americans stronger, safer, and more prosperous. There are three components of this NOFO. You may apply for only one: 
• Component A will improve HCPs’ knowledge and practices. Increase testing and management of people with or at risk of Chagas disease. Expand the use of best practices, training tools, and materials. 
• Component B will strengthen public health efforts to monitor and control soil-transmitted helminth infections (like hookworm). It focuses on areas in the Southeastern U.S. (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) that are historically affected. 
• Component C will target the prevention, control, health education, and, where applicable, elimination of other parasitic diseases in the U.S. Diseases include cyclosporiasis, cysticercosis, echinococcosis, leishmaniasis, lymphatic filariasis, and toxoplasmosis.

We will not accept proposals focused on malaria, amoebiasis,cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, or any international activities. Your strategies should aim for significant public health benefits and reach a large portion of at-risk populations.

Caterpillar Building the Future Workforce Challenge

Limit: 1 per School or Department

O. Leal-Neto (Global Health Institute) 

Limiting Language
Each Lead Organization may only complete one submission, except as described below. An organization can serve as a partner on a team for multiple applications provided that each application proposes a separate, distinct solution. This means each solution can only be submitted once, and we leave it up to each team to designate their eligible Lead Organization.  

Regional or location-specific branches of larger organizations, as well as departments, schools, and nonprofits within or based in a college/university, can each register and submit separately as the Lead Organization on one application. Participants may list both the parent organization and the specific applicant/project in the Lead Organization field on the registration form, such as College/Department (Parent organization) or Parent Organization – Project Name.

In all circumstances described above, the proposed projects must be separate and distinct. There should be no overlap in team members. The intent of the policy is to ensure that any team is concentrating their best effort into a single application. We encourage teams to select a single project that best represents your organization's ability to deliver a solution that meets the scoring criteria.

Summary
As part of the Caterpillar Building the Future Workforce Initiative, Caterpillar has designated $25 million of its $100 million pledge to launch the Building the Future Workforce Challenge. This includes an initial $5 million allocation in year one to support future‑ready training for high‑demand manufacturing and technician roles.

The Building the Future Workforce Challenge welcomes bold ideas from all sectors and regions, awarding up to five teams $1 million each plus the opportunity to implement their transformative solutions in one or more Caterpillar communities and facilities in the United States, Brazil, India, or Mexico over a two‑year project period.

The Caterpillar Building the Future Workforce Challenge seeks bold, sustainable, tech‑forward training solutions that can close today’s—and tomorrow’s—advanced manufacturing and industry technician skill gaps. We’re looking for ideas that can flex with rapid technological change and strengthen the talent pipelines our communities and industry depend on. Eligible nonprofit and for‑profit organizations anywhere in the world are invited to propose solutions that can be implemented in the United States, Brazil, India, or Mexico. Winning solutions will have the opportunity to be implemented in Caterpillar facilities and Caterpillar communities—providing a testing ground for introduction, replication, and scale.

Take our readiness tool to help determine your fit for the challenge, and review our resources and scoring rubric to learn more about solution categories, problem statements, evaluation criteria, how we’ve defined a strong proposal, and more.
