Program Description
Full sponsor guidelines are linked here.

The NIH Director's Early Independence Award helps talented new researchers begin their own independent research program soon after finishing their doctoral degree or clinical training, without first doing postdoctoral training.The award accepts applications on any topic fitting the NIH mission. It is part of the NIH Common Fund's High-Risk, High-Reward Research program.

Eligible Individuals (Program Director/Principal Investigator)
Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) is invited to work with their organization to develop an application for support. 

Requirements

• One PD/PI only: Applications can have only one PD/PI. Multiple PD/PIs are not allowed. Only the PD/PI may be listed as Senior/Key Personnel and submit a biosketch.
• Citizenship: U.S. citizenship is not required. If the PD/PI is not a U.S. citizen, the institution must ensure the visa permit allows them to do the proposed research in the U.S. for the full project period.
• Degree or clinical training dates: The PD/PI must complete their terminal doctoral degree or post-graduate clinical training between May 1, 2025, and September 30, 2027.
  • The date shown on the official transcript is considered the date the degree was completed.
  • Clinical training includes residency and fellowship.
  • At the time of award, either:
    • The PD/PI must have an eligible doctoral degree from an accredited U.S. or foreign institution, oR
    • An authorized official must confirm all degree requirements are complete and the degree will be awarded before September 30, 2027.

Executive Summary
The U.S. Department of State’s Consulate General Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and U.S. Consulate General Surabaya, Indonesia announces an open competition to implement a program to organizations.

In 2024, trade in goods and services between the United States and ASEAN reached almost $572 billion, supporting over 625,000 American jobs. As a hub for some of the world’s most important manufacturers and shipping routes, Southeast Asia depends on secure, resilient, and diversified supply chains grounded in fair and reciprocal trade practices. President Trump’s America First foreign policy prioritizes secure supply chains that strengthen U.S. economic and national security while advancing cooperation with allies and partners. This is especially important in the critical minerals sector, where the United States is working with regional partners to diversify supply chains in alignment with Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American Energy.” 

Against this backdrop, the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) will host a regional workshop titled Securing Supply Chains: Market Opportunities in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. U.S. Consulate General Ho Chi Minh City and U.S. Consulate General Surabaya seek proposals to design and implement a four-day workshop in Vietnam and Indonesia for up to 55 ASEAN leaders ages 22–35 occurring in May 2027. Vietnam and Indonesia represent two of the most promising markets for increased commercial cooperation with the United States and bring complementary expertise in critical minerals (Indonesia) and in integrated and resilient supply chains (Vietnam). 

Participants will examine supply chain resilience, critical minerals, and emerging technologies such as blockchain and AI through case studies, interactive exercises, and collaborative problem- solving. The program will equip early-stage professionals with practical skills to strengthen regional supply chains, support informed investment decisions, and advance U.S. and Southeast Asian prosperity and security.

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.
