The NIH ?Research With Activities Related to Diversity (ReWARD) Program's overarching goal is to enhance the breadth and geographical location of research and research-related activities supported by NIH. The ReWARD program provides support for the health-related research of scientists who are making a significant contribution to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) and who have no current NIH research project grant funding. The ReWARD program provides funding for both the scientific research and the DEIA activities of investigators. The grant will support scientific research in areas related to the programmatic interests of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) and ongoing DEIA activities focused on enhancing diversity in the biomedical research enterprise within the United States and territories.

Reissue of RFA-NS-18-020: Understanding the dynamic activity of brain circuits is central to the NIH BRAIN Initiative. This FOA seeks applications for proof-of-concept testing and development of new technologies and novel approaches for recording and modulation (including various modalities for stimulation/activation, inhibition and manipulation) of cells (i.e., neuronal and non-neuronal) and networks to enable transformative understanding of dynamic signaling in the central nervous system (CNS). This FOA seeks exceptionally creative approaches to address major challenges associated with recording and modulating CNS activity, at or near cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and/or temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain. It is expected that the proposed research may be high-risk, but if successful, could profoundly change the course of neuroscience research. Proposed technologies should be compatible with experiments in behaving animals, validated under in vivo experimental conditions, and capable of reducing major barriers to conducting neurobiological experiments and making new discoveries about the CNS. Technologies may engage diverse types of signaling beyond neuronal electrical activity such as optical, magnetic, acoustic and/or genetic recording/manipulation. Applications that seek to integrate multiple approaches are encouraged. If suitable, applications are expected to integrate appropriate domains of expertise, including biological, chemical and physical sciences, engineering, computational modeling and statistical analysis.

Reissue of RFA-NS-18-019: Understanding the dynamic activity of neural circuits is central to the NIH BRAIN Initiative. The invention, proof-of-concept investigation, and optimization of new technologies through iterative feedback from end users are key components of the BRAIN Initiative. This FOA seeks applications to optimize existing or emerging technologies through iterative testing with end users. The technologies and approaches should have potential to address major challenges associated with recording and modulation (including various modalities for stimulation/activation, inhibition and manipulation) of cells (i.e., neuronal and non-neuronal) and networks to enable transformative understanding of dynamic signaling in the central nervous system (CNS). These technologies and approaches should have previously demonstrated their transformative potential through initial proof-of-concept testing and are now ready for accelerated refinement. In conjunction, the manufacturing techniques should be scalable towards sustainable, broad dissemination and user-friendly incorporation into regular neuroscience research.Proposed technologies should be compatible with experiments in behaving animals, validated under in vivo experimental conditions, and capable of reducing major barriers to conducting neurobiological experiments and making new discoveries about the CNS.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce a call for proposals from U.S.-based organizations and universities for its English Language Capacity Building program. The program invites U.S.-based organizations and universities to submit a proposal to conduct a comprehensive training certificate program for English-language teachers working in public schools throughout Azerbaijan. The program should be innovative and cost-effective with both virtual and in-person components and utilize a synchronous online learning platform, practical curriculum, and live personal coaching in support of a key Embassy goal in Azerbaijan: improve the quality of English language instruction and increase English language fluency of Azerbaijani students at all levels of education. The program’s objectives are: · Provide professional development opportunities to Azerbaijani English language teachers to enhance the quality of English language teaching in Azerbaijan by helping teachers reinforce their English skills and learn the latest strategies and methods for teaching English as a foreign language. · Offer a high-quality English-language training certificate program that is based on communicative teaching methods and that focuses on enhancing the teachers and eventually their students’ conversational and comprehension skills while taking into account the elements of the National Curriculum of the Republic of Azerbaijan. · Strengthen people-to-people ties between the United States and Azerbaijan through promotion of community service and activities to enhance critical-thinking skills among participants, information sharing, and experiences between American experts and target audiences that increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and Azerbaijan. Participants and Audiences: The intended audiences for potential projects are young and less-experienced Azerbaijani English language teachers exposed to minimum or no prior professional development opportunities working at public schools. Special consideration will be given to programs that focus on secondary school English language teachers working with disadvantaged communities (rural areas, low-income, IDP etc.) in regions outside of Baku.

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a diverse workforce, which includes individuals from backgrounds that are not well represented in biomedical research (see NIH Interest in Diversity: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-20-031.html), to meet the nations biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Courses for Skills Development. The purpose of this PAR is twofold: 1) develop, implement, and evaluate modules of genomics-related curriculum for the diverse entry-level biomedical research workforce by supporting lead sites teamed with partner sites, such as community, technical, or tribal colleges; and 2) support and facilitate opportunities for the entry-level research workforce to enhance diversity in genomics. The training modules will be made freely available, at no cost to the broader community.
