The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support projects which replicate successful models developed by Innovations in Nutrition Programs and Services grantees that have the potential that enhance the quality, effectiveness and proven outcomes of nutrition services programs within the aging services network which are located here: https://acl.gov/senior-nutrition/network-experience. The Older Americans Act (OAA) provides funding to States and Tribal Organizations to support a broad array of services that enable older adults to remain in their homes and communities and assist family and informal caregivers to care for their loved ones for as long as possible. Projects proposed under this grant program must have the potential for broad implementation throughout the aging services network and have demonstrated value, i.e., improvements in participant well-being, cost savings, etc. In addition, projects must target services to underserved older adults with greatest social and economic need, and individuals at risk for institutional placement, to permit such individuals to remain in home and community-based settings thereby avoiding the need for more costly medical interventions.

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Program. The purpose of the AHEC Program is to develop and enhance education and training networks within communities, academic institutions, and community-based organizations. In turn, these networks seek to increase diversity among health professionals, broaden the distribution of the health workforce, enhance health care quality, and improve health care delivery to rural and underserved areas and populations.

UA may submit more than one application. 

There is no restriction on the number of applications an institution can submit to the SIG and/or High-End Instrumentation (HEI) Programs each year, provided the applications request different types of equipment. To prevent duplication of applications, this opportunity is Institutionally Coordinated by RII/UAHS.

The Shared Instrument Grant (SIG) Program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade a single item of high-priced, specialized, commercially available instruments or integrated instrumentation system. The minimum award is $50,000. There is no maximum price limit for the instrument; however, the maximum award is $600,000. Instruments supported include, but are not limited to: X-ray diffractometers, mass spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, flow cytometers, and biomedical imagers.

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to conduct high quality clinical and applied fungal public health research activities to improve fungal public health outcomes in the United States and territories. Projects may be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods epidemiological studies, laboratory-based studies, or other types of research projects focusing on:
a) Improving the understanding of fungal disease epidemiology;
b) Optimizing the diagnosis and treatment of patients with fungal diseases;
c) Understanding the impact of public health interventions to mitigate the impact of fungal diseases.

This NOFO intends to support research to: 1) optimize and standardize implementation of existing strategies to reduce the abundance of host-seeking Ixodes scapularis nymphs infected with human pathogens, especially Lyme disease spirochetes (DIN); 2) evaluate efficacy and reproducibility of operational use (e.g., in the hands of pest control professionals or the public, as appropriate) of these protocols in high-risk settings (e.g., wooded residential properties, high-use wooded recreational areas) across the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States where baseline DIN is elevated; and 3) develop standard operating procedures that may be used by homeowners or vector control professionals to implement these interventions within communities at risk for exposure to Lyme disease spirochetes and other I. scapularis-borne pathogens.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2022 Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention-Mobile Health Training Program (NEPQR-MHTP). The purpose of this program is to strengthen the nursing workforce through education and training to provide culturally aligned quality care in rural and underserved areas and training of diverse nursing students to address and manage Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) factors and improve health equity and health literacy of vulnerable populations in rural and underserved communities through nurse-led mobile health training sites. The NEPQR-MHTP will create and expand experiential learning opportunities for nursing students, including: the provision of high-quality culturally sensitive care, identify and understand SDOH in local communities, engagement in critical thinking, and clinical practice highlighting a collaborative team approach to care.
