Funding Opportunity RFA-AA-24-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is to support the planning phase of the Model Continuums of Care Initiative (MCCI) to Advance Health Equity and End Health Disparities Among Women and Girls in Racial/Ethnic Minority and Other Underserved Communities. MCCI is a multi-ICO dissemination and implementation science initiative to advance health equity and end health disparities in racial/ethnic minority women and girls of reproductive age. Specifically, the Model Continuums of Care Initiative will apply the latest dissemination and implementationscience approaches to significantly reduce the prevalence and impact of multi-morbidity among racial/ethnic minority women and girls of reproductive age at risk and living with mental health disorders, substance use disorders, chronic stress, cardiopulmonary diseases, common metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes), cancer, and HIV/AIDS. This concept proposes a continuum of care approach that integrates preventive health services, primary care, behavioral health, integrative care, and cardiopulmonary and endocrine specialties to fully address health care needs in each of these domains, and to have maximum impact on the overall health and well-being ofracial and ethnic minority and other underserved women and girls. While MCCI is not a maternal health initiative, women and girls ages 15-44 yrs. are centered because it is during the early reproductive period, i.e., adolescence, that multimorbidity typically begins and rapidly progresses, setting the stage for multiple chronic debilitating conditions in later life. Special emphasis will be placed on using stakeholder partnerships, provider training, and infrastructure changes to improve access for subgroups of racial/ethnic minority women and girls who currently have the least access to high quality health care (e.g., racial/ethnic minority women and girls living in low resource settings).

Funding Opportunity RFA-NR-24-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this initiative is to support research to improve health and promote health equity in rural populations. Rural populations experience high rates of many causes of morbidity and disability, and high and increasing rates of premature death. Meaningful and sustained improvements in the health of rural populations require effective solutions to address the underlying causes. Applications responding to this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) should develop, adapt, or implement intervention strategies addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) to improve health and promote health equity in rural populations. This funding opportunity encourages studies that use a wide range of methodological approaches that enhance access to, and acceptability and effectiveness of, interventions in rural populations, such as community-engaged research approaches that build on the strengths of rural communities.

Funding Opportunity RFA-AA-24-004 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this limited competition Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to leverage the established clinical infrastructure of the previously funded program on Late Phase Clinical Trials and Observational Studies in Alcoholic Hepatitis. The existing program of AH Clinical and Translational Network, hereafter termed AlcHepNet, has been sponsored by the NIAAA since 2012 and was renewed in 2018. In the next cycle the program will consist of up to six Clinical Study Sites and one Data Coordinating Center to conduct an integrated treatment clinical trial that incorporates active treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) with treatment of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The targeted patient population will include severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (sAH) and decompensated alcohol-associated cirrhosis (deAC). Through this Request for Applications (RFA), U01 Collaborative Cooperative Agreement applications are sought to conduct an investigator-initiated common protocol integrated ALD-AUD treatment clinical trial and site-specific ancillary studies. Each Clinical Center application must consist of a multidisciplinary investigative team that includes a hepatologist and an addiction medicine specialist, and be comprised of primary and if necessary, subsites with a track record of successful enrollment in past clinical trials.

Funding Opportunity RFA-AT-24-008 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) will support development, adaptation, and/or applications of computational tools to aggregate and analyze orthogonal chemical and/or biological data sets related to natural products with the aim of generating novel testable hypotheses regarding their biological activity and role in the context of whole person health research. Projects must leverage and merge multiple compatible or interoperable sources and/or types of data. Use of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches is encouraged. This NOFO is part of the Consortium Advancing Research on Botanicals and Other Natural Products (CARBON) Program. Other components of this Program include the Botanical Dietary Supplements Translational Research Teams (RM1) and Limited Competition: Research Resource for Natural Product Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Data (R24).

Funding Opportunity PAR-24-128 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is to develop a diverse pool of highly trained physician-scientist leaders available to meet the needs of the Nations biomedical research agenda. Specifically, this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) provides support to eligible domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-based approaches to integrated dual-degree training leading to the award of both professional medical doctorate degrees and research doctorate degrees (Ph.D. or equivalent). With the dual qualification of rigorous scientific research and clinical practice, graduates will be equipped with the skills to develop research programs that accelerate the translation of research advances to the understanding, detection, treatment and prevention of human disease, and to lead the advancement of biomedical research. Areas of particular importance to NIGMS are the iterative optimization of MSTP training efficacy and efficiency, fostering the persistence of MSTP alumni in research careers, and enhancing the diversity of the physician-scientist workforce. NIGMS expects that the proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, mentoring and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation.

Funding Opportunity RFA-MD-24-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this initiative is to support research to determine the underlying mechanisms that contribute to health disparities in HIV and aging and how multiple comorbidities influence overall health outcomes and quality of life among people with HIV from populations that experience health disparities.
