Developing and Disseminating Strategies to Build Sustainable Lupus Awareness, Knowledge, Skills, and Partnerships
Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease. It is estimated 161,000 to 322,000 Americans have the most common type of lupus, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although anyone can get lupus, 9 out of 10 diagnoses of lupus are in women ages 15 to 44. African American and Latino women are at greater risk for lupus than white women and usually get it at a younger age and have more severe symptoms. Lupus is also more common in Hispanic, Asian, and Native American and Alaskan Native women. The causes of lupus are unknown but are believed to be linked to genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. Lupus is difficult to diagnose, hard to live with and challenging to treat. Lupus has a range of symptoms often confused with other conditions, making it difficult to recognize and diagnose. Its symptoms and outcomes can be severe or fatal, its onset can be sudden, its causes are unclear and there is no known cure. This NOFO addresses several persisting gaps and inequities related to lupus. Lupus can result in a range of negative outcomes including disability, social stigma, lost productivity, absence from the workforce, reduction in quality of life, organ damage or failure or early death. Undiagnosed or late diagnosis of lupus can increase the likelihood or worsen the severity of many of these outcomes. Even with a correct diagnosis, lupus is challenging to treat. Much is needed to improve the care and quality of life for people living with the disease. The public health sector can contribute a great deal to this end and help mitigate these gaps and inequities. The purpose of the NOFO is to support national organizations implementing national efforts to help reduce time to lupus diagnoses, increase number of people with lupus getting needed care and ongoing treatment, improve lupus care, care transition and care coordination, improve lupus patients’ self-management behaviors, and improve quality of life and health outcomes among people with lupus. This NOFO will focus on two key strategies and their associated activities: Strategy A: Increase awareness, knowledge and skills among healthcare providers to appropriately recognize the signs and symptoms of lupus, what to do if lupus is suspected, and provide quality, well-coordinated lupus care. Activities are to :Develop and promote healthcare provider lupus training and education. Increase the role of technology in the clinical setting. Collaborate with health professional associations to establish or increase sustainable educational opportunities. Develop and promote practice procedures for transition of lupus care from pediatric to adult care. Strategy B: In collaboration with key stakeholders promote the national uptake and use of effective lupus self-management tools and/or services. Activities are to: Raise awareness about lupus signs and symptoms and what to do if you have lupus among targeted populations using existing national lupus campaigns, websites, and tools. Support implementation and evaluation of lupus-specific self-management tools and/or services. Promote the national uptake and use of lupus self-management tools and/or services among women ages 15 to 44 and key stakeholders. Apply electronic health or medical record systems or other medical information technology to refer patients to appropriate lupus self-management tools/services, and track patient information. Identify and address lupus patients’ barriers to access effective lupus self-management tools and/or services. These strategies and activities are intended to result in the following outcomes: Increased number of healthcare providers recognizing the signs and symptoms of lupus and what to do if lupus is suspected. Increased number of healthcare providers using tele-health and/or electronic health records to identify lupus cases and treatment gaps. Increased number of settings receiving guidance on transition of pediatric lupus care to adult care. Increased number of people living with lupus engaged in the use of lupus self-management tools and/or services. Increased number of referrals to lupus self-management tools and/or services using electronic health or medical record systems or other medical information technology. Improved self-management behaviors among people with lupus. The NOFO will fund TWO awards, ONE award will be issued for each Strategy. Applicant can apply for one or both Strategies but must submit a separate application for each Strategy. A total of $2,670,230 is available for annual funding, a range of $1.1 Million to $1.5 Million will be awarded to each successful applicant.

Desalination and Water Purification Research Program Pitch to Pilot for Fiscal Year 2020
Reclamation is interested in research where the benefits are widespread but where private-sector entities are not able to make the full investment and assume all the risks. Reclamation is also interested in research that has a national significance—where the issues are of large-scale concern and the benefits accrue to a large sector of the public. The goal of the Desalination and Water Purification Research (DWPR) program is to address the need to reduce the costs, energy requirements, and environmental impacts of treating impaired and unusable water. DWPR program activities further support multiple Administration initiatives, including the 2018 Presidential Memorandum Promoting the Reliable Supply and Delivery of Water in the West as well as the 2020 National Water Reuse Action Plan. Eligible projects are pilot-scale technologies or processes that incorporate or are innovative and disruptive technologies involving flow rates above one gallon per minute and that need to be tested using natural water sources rather than synthetic or laboratory-made feed water. These projects are typically used to determine the technical, practical, and/or economic feasibility of a process. Preliminary costs can be developed for capital and operation and maintenance costs. The description of the technology or process should identify the uniqueness and the disruptive nature of the technology or process itself and/or the testing of it. The objectives of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) are to develop innovative and disruptive new technologies or processes: To treat brackish groundwater in a less energy-intensive way than current processes and technologies; Manage reverse osmosis/nanofiltration concentrate by reducing cost, energy, and/or environmental impacts; Improve efficiency of water treatment processes—either by improvements to pre-treatment, post-treatment, monitoring, sensors, or other innovative process/technology; To address costs, energy usage, and/or environmental impacts of seawater desalination, including intakes and/or outfalls; and To reduce the costs, energy requirements, and/or environmental impacts of treating impaired and unusable water to standards necessary for an identified beneficial use.

Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS)
The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), initiated in 1987 due to stagnant infant mortality rates, collects jurisdiction-specific, population-based data on maternal attitudes and experiences before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. The survey asks new mothers questions about their pregnancy and their new baby and the data are used to monitor the prevalence of maternal behaviors and experiences to inform programs and systems changes that influence maternal and infant health, as well as conduct research. PRAMS provides jurisdiction-specific and population-based data on the population of women recently delivering a live birth or stillborn infant. Because less than 5% of the general population is pregnant at any time, there is a need for data that purposely samples from this population to provide stable estimates that can be stratified by population subgroup, as well as to provide jurisdiction-specific estimates of maternal experiences and behaviors that occur before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. PRAMS data are used to examine the associations between risk factors and outcomes, explore disparities by subpopulations, and compare health indicators across jurisdictions. For example, PRAMS data have been used to monitor progress over time for safe infant sleep practices, unintended births, and patterns of health insurance coverage. PRAMS data are used to conduct research at the state and federal level and are used to investigate emerging issues in the field of reproductive health. This NOFO solicits applications to: 1) implement standardized surveillance of postpartum women with a recent live birth or stillbirth on selected maternal behaviors and experiences that occur prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy; 2) implement surveillance on emerging issues related to maternal and child health that arise during the data collection cycle including post-disaster or emergency surveillance; and 3) ensure collection of timely, high quality data for ongoing monitoring of maternal and infant health to inform programs, research, and system changes. The activities in the NOFO will be conducted under three separate Components of funding: Component A: Core Surveillance – To implement population-based surveillance on selected maternal behaviors and experiences that occur prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy, including emerging issues, among women with a recent live birth in up to 53 vital records jurisdictions; Component B: Point-in-time Tribal Surveillance – To implement a point-in-time (one time, one birth year) surveillance on selected maternal behaviors and experiences that occur prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy among women with a recent live birth in up to 2 federally recognized American Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Villages, or Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs) with at least 1,000 live births annually or tribal organizations that support American Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Villages or Urban Indian Organizations with a service area that covers at least 1,000 live births annually; Component C: Stillbirth Surveillance – To implement population-based surveillance on selected maternal behaviors and experiences that occur prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy among women who recently experienced a stillbirth in up to 2 vital records jurisdictions.

2020 International Agricultural Education Fellowship Program
USDA will provide opportunities to eligible U.S. citizens to assist developing countries in establishing school-based agricultural education and youth extension programs under the International Agricultural Education Fellowship Program (IAEFP) under the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, PL 115-334, Sec. 3307, 7 USC § 3295. The intention of the IAEFP is to develop globally minded United States agriculturalists with experience living abroad, focus on meeting the food and fiber needs of the domestic population of eligible countries, and strengthen and enhance trade linkages between eligible countries and the United States agricultural industry. Proposal submission should include, but not limited to, classroom instruction, field demonstrations, entrepreneurship projects, and leadership development. The proposal should address host country’s receptiveness of the IAEFP. Host country’s government, agriculture community, and local authorities should demonstrate support and commitment to collaborate on the implementation and execution of the IAEFP. The recipient should provide a suggested curriculum to all fellows that is tailored to the needs of the host country. Fellows training topics should align with USDA and the host country’s agricultural policy, development, and extension goals. Topics should also promote bilateral agricultural trade between the host country and the United States. For additional recipient requirements, please see the performance expectations section. United States fellows participating under IAEFP must hold a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in an agriculture-related field and understand U.S. school-based agricultural education and youth extension programs. In addition, the NaCouncil must be consulted on U.S. fellow selections. Fellows do not need to be previously affiliated with the selected recipients.
Program Objective: USDA anticipates issuing up to two awards to improve developing countries ability to meeting food and fiber needs as well as strengthen trade linkages between the United States and selected countries. Each award is expected to support up to nine (9) fellows. Programs for fellows are expected to last 8-9 months in concurrence with the host country’s academic year. After selection, recipients will be expected to identify fellows, proposing selections to USDA for final concurrence. Although each fellow should be assigned a specific country and site, USDA envisions fellows will participate as a cohesive cohort, rather than at individual times, and applicants should prepare their approach accordingly. Award recipients will be required to work with relevant FAS Posts, as well as appropriate U.S. Embassy personnel, on all programmatic issues including providing periodic updates on program implementation.tional FFA Organization and the National 4-H

2020 Borlaug Fellowship Program World Food Prize Event
Program Overview, Objectives, and Priorities: The Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellowship Program (Borlaug Fellowship Program) advances USDA’s agricultural research goals of promoting collaborative programs among agricultural professionals of eligible countries, agricultural professionals of the United States, the international agricultural research system, and United States entities conducting research by providing fellowships to individuals from eligible countries who specialize or have experience in agricultural education, research, extension, or other related fields. Fellowships promote the expansion of domestic and international markets in eligible countries by educating a new generation of agricultural scientists, increasing scientific knowledge and collaborative research to increase trade and agricultural economic activity by extending that knowledge to users and intermediaries in the marketplace. The collaborative nature of the training and research programs not only benefits the Fellow, his or her home institution, and partner country; the U.S. host institution, its professors, researchers, and students; and the global agricultural sector by improving agricultural productivity, systems, and processes in partnering nations through the transfer of new science and agricultural technologies. As part of the Borlaug Fellowship Program, Fellows will attend the Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium (Borlaug Dialogue) hosted by the World Food Prize in Des Moines, Iowa during the week of October 11, 2020. Dr. Norman E. Borlaug envisioned a prize that would honor those who have made significant and measurable contributions to improving the world’s food supply. His vision was achieved in 1986 through the World Food Prize, the hosting organization for the Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium each year during October in Des Moines, Iowa. The World Food Prize (WFP) is the foremost international award for the achievements of individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity, or availability of food in the world. The World Food Prize recognizes contributions in any field involved in improving the world food supply, including food and agriculture science and technology, manufacturing, marketing, nutrition, economics, poverty alleviation, political leadership, and the social sciences. The World Food Prize emphasizes the importance of a nutritious and sustainable food supply for all people. The World Food Prize also annually hosts the Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium to bring the world’s foremost experts and leaders together to discuss cutting-edge issues in food security and multiple youth education programs to inspire the next generation to study and work in fields related to global agriculture. The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) participates in the Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium annually. Each year, FAS organizes training and events fornetwork with other Borlaug Fellows, scientists and leaders from around the globe on issues related to food security.
Objective: The selected award recipient will collaborate with FAS Global Programs, Fellowship Programs staff members to organize and execute two workshops adjacent to the annual World Food Prize Borlaug Dialogue: Borlaug Fellows and their mentors. Approximately 60 Borlaug Fellows and their Mentors attend the Borlaug Dialogue each year providing opportunities to • the USDA Borlaug Fellowship Program World Food Prize Event (Event), from approximately 9am – 5pm on Monday, October 12, 2020. This event should stimulate discussion among fellows and mentors regarding collaborative agricultural research, transfer of new science and agricultural technologies to strengthen agricultural practice, reduction of barriers to technology adoption, and/or development of agricultural extension services. It should also provide an opportunity for fellows to build a community of practice to foster improved use of agricultural science worldwide. A formal breakfast workshop from approximately 7:30am – 10am for Fellows and their Mentors, featuring a USDA principal. FAS will confirm the date for the Breakfast meeting not later than three weeks in advance. This workshop will provide the opportunity for USDA and other presenters to discuss USDA’s vision for international agricultural education, research, and extension.The selected recipient will also be expected to provide necessary support to facilitate the above events, as further delineated in Section F. Fellows’ research interests will fall within the scope of “food and agricultural sciences” as defined by 7 USC 3103(9); USDA will confirm the number of fellows and their particular research interests not later than three weeks prior to the event date.
