Executive Summary 
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor,
Office of International Religious Freedom (IRF) announces an open competition
for organizations interested in submitting applications for a program to provide
emergency financial assistance to victims of religious persecution and defenders of religious freedom.

IRF promotes religious freedom as a core objective of U.S. foreign policy that
makes America stronger, safer, and more prosperous. IRF’s mission is guided by
its statutory mandate established by the International Religious Freedom Act of
1998 (IRF Act) and the Frank Wolf International Religious Freedom Act of 2016
(Wolf Act). The IRF Act provides that it is the policy of the United States,
“standing for liberty and standing with the persecuted, to...promote respect for
religious freedom by all governments and peoples.” To that end, the Wolf Act calls
for the State Department to issue foreign assistance awards to promote respect for
religious freedom and combat religious freedom violations.

As declared in President Trump’s Executive Order 13926, the promotion of
international religious freedom is a “national security imperative” and “a foreign
policy priority of the United States.” Pursuant to that Executive Order, IRF funds
foreign assistance programs to “anticipate, prevent, and respond to attacks against
individuals and groups on the basis of their religion, including programs designed
to help ensure that such groups can persevere as distinct communities; to promote
accountability for the perpetrators of such attacks; to ensure equal rights and legal
protections for individuals and groups regardless of belief; to improve the safety
and security of houses of worship and public spaces for all faiths; and to protect
and preserve the cultural heritages of religious communities.”

Information on religious freedom conditions globally can be found in the State
Department’s annual International Religious Freedom Report.

Applicants will be responsible for ensuring program activities and products are
implemented in accordance with the Establishment Clause of the United States
Constitution. 

The University of Arizona is not eligible to apply to this cycle as the NEA limits one application per applicant per calendar year. The University of Arizona's institutional submission was utilized in the February cycle (GAP 1).

Background
The first heart transplant was performed in 1967, one of the most extraordinary feats of modern medicine. The system that supports it, however, has failed to evolve significantly since then, with none of the astonishing novel therapies we see being developed in other areas of medicine. Despite decades of innovation in almost all the other cardiovascular spheres, heart transplant care remains fragmented, inequitable, and frustratingly stagnant. Patients face ongoing cardiac rejection with imprecise methods to detect the immunologic process, potentially toxic immunosuppressive regimens which have not been updated substantially for two decades, and inconsistent outcomes—especially among Black recipients and pediatric populations. Data are siloed, research is underfunded, and quality improvement is virtually nonexistent. The majority of clinical practice guideline recommendations are driven by consensus rather than an evolving catalog of evidence. 

There is no unified national data infrastructure that can support retrospective and prospective research, no standardized quality improvement framework, and no coordinated research agenda to address these challenges. In short, we are crawling in one of the most high-stakes areas of healthcare. 

The American Heart Association is launching a bold, multi-phase initiative to transform heart transplantation care across the United States, a transformation in treatment built on three pillars: 

• A Global Heart Transplant Data Infrastructure In collaboration with key transplant organizations, the American Heart Association will manage a comprehensive heart transplant database, designed not as a static registry, but as a dynamic, harmonized data platform to drive research, quality improvement, and policy change.
• A Research Network for Breakthrough Science We are now recruiting from leading institutions to launch a research network focused on rejection detection, remote monitoring, viral load surveillance, and innovative, safer therapies. This network will be the sandbox for high-impact studies, including planning grants for clinical trials in immune tolerance, and chronic rejection.
• A Quality Improvement Infrastructure Modeled after our Get With The Guidelines® success, we will build a scalable Quality Improvement (QI) framework to standardize transplant care, reduce disparities, and improve long-term outcomes. This will drive system-wide change.

The Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) is a key component of the Department’s and ACN’s efforts to advance the Administration’s top national security and foreign policy objectives in a cost-effective and impactful manner.  CTR uses programming and training with foreign partners to advance President Trump’s America First Investment Policy (NSPM-3) and America’s AI Action plan by disrupting the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) exploitation of critical U.S. intellectual property (IP) and dual-use technologies, including AI, biotechnologies, quantum, semiconductor, and space technologies, through research security, cybersecurity and IP protection training.  As the programmatic lead for the Foundational Infrastructure for the Responsible Use of Small Modular Reactor [SMR] Technology (FIRST) program, CTR implements Section 8(e) of EO 14299 on Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security by helping U.S. vendors deploy secure, safe U.S. SMRs to strategic regions, including Latin America, the Indo-Pacific, and the Middle East, to outcompete strategic competitors for decades-long partnerships, generating multi-billion dollar deals for U.S. companies and creating thousands of American jobs.  CTR implements maximum pressure on Iran (NSPM-2), by training foreign partner countries to implement U.S. sanctions on Iran’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, and disrupts proliferation networks tied to the CCP, DPRK, and Russia that undermine U.S. interests.  CTR also advances EO 14292 by preventing U.S. adversaries from advancing biological weapons capabilities through targeted biosecurity, physical security, and cybersecurity trainings and disrupts Iran’s and other U.S. adversary chemical weapons programs through assisting supply chain security of precursor chemicals and equipment. Finally, CTR advances EO 14285 Unleashing America’s Offshore Critical Minerals, by training critical mineral holders to derisk from reliance on Chinese and Russian Private Military Companies in favor of U.S. security firms.

An organization may only apply for this grant through one application per year and cannot apply for itself and be part of an application involving more than one organization.

Program Overview
Community Care Corps encourages organizations across the country to apply for 18-month grants ($30,000–$200,000) to develop and scale innovative volunteer programs that provide nonmedical assistance to older adults, adults age 18 and older with disabilities and family caregivers.

Projects funded through this initiative will increase the number of community-based volunteer programs available to provide nonmedical assistance while decreasing the number of older adults, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers who need assistance in maintaining independence in the community but are unable to obtain help. In doing so, the initiative will strengthen community-based supports that help people maintain independence, reduce unmet needs, and improve overall well-being.
