This FOA encourages applications at the intersection of HIV and aging by addressing two overarching objectives: 1) to improve understanding of biological, clinical, and socio-behavioral aspects of aging through the lens of HIV infection and its treatment; and 2) to improve approaches for testing, prevention, and treatment of HIV infection, and management of HIV-related comorbidities, co-infections, and complications in different populations and cultural settings by applying our current understanding of aging science.

The James S McDonnell Foundation (JSMF) announces a new program in 2017 that will fund education research on the science of teaching and expand our understanding of teachers as learners and as agents of change in education.

This solicitation seeks to build knowledge and research-informed evidence related to strategies for effective prevention and intervention of domestic radicalization and violent extremism in the U.S. This funding will support both programmatic evaluations and foundational research to better understand causes and contributing factors to radicalization. Areas of focus will include (but are not limited to): risk factors and risk assessment tools; development of instruments, procedures, and practices; and comparative/multi-site programmatic evaluations and analyses.
