Program Overview
The goal of the Jonas Scholars program is to improve health care by expanding the pool of PhD and DNP-prepared nurses needed to educate the next generation of nurse leaders. The Jonas Scholars program provides financial assistance, a curriculum of leadership and learning opportunities, and networking support to expand the pipeline of nurse educators. Launched in 2008, the Jonas Scholars program is the signature initiative of Jonas Nursing, whose mission is to enhance the nursing profession by developing nurse leaders who will address the nursing shortage by educating the future nursing workforce.

Summary
The Maternal Health Emergency Management Training (MHEMT) program increases capacity and helps clinicians and first responders provide better care to pregnant and postpartum women, especially in places without delivery services or with limited health care resources. 

The program addresses a persistent gap in workforce training in these settings where maternal health emergencies are encountered infrequently but require rapid recognition, stabilization, and coordination of care. 

Challenges in care delivery are also worsened by the growing number of counties with no hospital-based obstetric services in the United States. 

The program is designed around two distinct initiatives.

Executive Summary 
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting applications under the authority of the Clean Water Act (CWA) section 104(b)(8) to provide Technical Assistance and Training for Rural, Small and Tribal Municipalities and Wastewater Treatment Systems. The program supports small, rural, and Tribal communities’ efforts to identify water challenges, develop plans, build technical, financial, and managerial capacity, comply with CWA requirements, and access water infrastructure funding. 

Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity under the Clean Water Act, EPA will achieve greater protection of public health and the environment through an increase in trained water sector personnel, access to funding and financing for wastewater treatment facilities, and Clean Water Act compliance. This action advances the Administration’s priorities, including to Make America Healthy Again, by improving water quality and reducing exposure risks, and enabling responsible economic growth for small, rural, and tribal communities through improved wastewater infrastructure. In partnership with States, Tribes, and local governments and grounded in sound science and the law, EPA will deliver cleaner water, stronger infrastructure, and long-term environmental stewardship for all Americans. 

The proposed activities support the Agency’s Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative’s Pillar 1: Clean Air, Land, and Water for Every American. Priority Areas identified in this opportunity are: 

1. Technical assistance and training for rural, small, and Tribal municipalities for planning, developing and acquisition of financing/funding for eligible projects and activities. 
   • Technical assistance and training for rural, small, and Tribal publicly owned treatment works and decentralized wastewater systems to help improve water quality and to achieve and maintain compliance.
2. Technical assistance and training focused specifically on Tribes for planning, developing and acquisition of financing/funding, to help improve water quality and achieve and maintain compliance, and/or to support emerging contaminants project development. 
3. Information dissemination, technical assistance and training focused specifically on decentralized wastewater treatment systems to support planning, development and acquisition of financing.

Eligible entities for this grant program include nonprofit organizations and institutions of higher education that can provide technical assistance and training to rural, small, and Tribal municipalities, publicly owned wastewater treatment works, and decentralized wastewater treatment systems. Assisting systems with their technical, managerial, and financial capacity to achieve long-term compliance is a key priority for the Agency. Infrastructure construction projects such as repairing water or sewer lines, adding new equipment, or upgrading, retrofitting, or rehabilitating existing equipment are not eligible for funding under this announcement.

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.

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.

The purpose of the Maternal Produce Prescription Program (MP3) is to support community- based organizations to develop produce prescription intervention programs that promote access to healthy foods for pregnant and post-partum women and their families in low-income and underserved areas. The program will: 
• Create community-based produce prescription programs. 
• Provide nutrition education to maternal populations. 
• Build and strengthen community partnerships to increase access to healthy foods. 
• Demonstrate improvements in fruit and vegetable intake, household food security, and health outcomes. 
Projects are expected to provide produce prescription programs (which may use vouchers or physical prescriptions) as well as nutrition education for eligible participants. 

Projects are expected to partner with at least one healthcare provider and at least one community- based organization.
