Public Engagement with Historical Records<\/strong>
\nThe National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks projects that encourage public engagement with historical records, including the development of new tools that enable people to engage online. The NHPRC is looking for projects that create models and technologies that other institutions can freely adopt.

Projects that focus on innovative methods to introduce primary source materials and how to use them in multiple locations also are more likely to create a competitive proposal. Projects might create and develop programs to engage people in the study and use of historical records for institutional, educational or personal reasons. For example, an applicant can: Enlist volunteer \u201ccitizen archivists\u201d in projects to accelerate access to historical records, especially those online.

Tibet Community Grants for Tibetan Scholarship Program Alumni<\/strong>
\nThis funding opportunity seeks to establish the Tibet Community Grants Fund (TCGF) for TSP alumni as a pilot initiative which represents a new avenue for outreach to the TSP alumni community in India. TCGF will provide funding to TSP alumni through sub-awards for social impact projects at the micro- to small-scale level in support of Mission priorities and development goals of the Tibetan Community-in-Exile in India. Individual TSP alumni may apply for up to USD 2,000 to develop and implement projects; teams of two to six TSP alumni are eligible to apply for up to USD 8,000. TSP alumni will conceptualize, initiate, and implement all projects. Preferred fields include, but are not limited to, entrepreneurship, education, environment, health, media, youth empowerment, and women\u2019s empowerment. In addition, hardships imposed on the Tibetan Community-in-Exile by the COVID-19 pandemic may offer opportunities for TSP alumni to propose community support projects under this program. While not limited in any manner to activities that address COVID-19 pandemic issues, this project encourages proposals that consider how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the Tibetan-Community-in-Exile and offers creative ideas on how a micro and small grants program can support those most negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. With a streamlined application process and quick turnaround on funding decisions, this initiative aims to inspire TSP alumni to develop and implement micro- and small-scale social impact projects, with the goal of increasing the number of such projects across the Tibetan Community-in-Exile in India. TCGF represents an opportunity for TSP alumni to strengthen their leadership skills, contribute to their communities, support Mission goals, and increase engagement with the Mission. This initiative will be a cooperative agreement between Mission India and the selected grantee. The grantee will also coordinate directly with the Tibetan Scholarship Program Alumni Association. The association serves as a platform for TSP alumni from the previous two and half decades to network and to provide guidance to new TSP candidates. Further information about the alumni association can be found at http:\/\/www.tspalumni.org\/.<\/p>\n

NCCIH Natural Product Mid Phase Clinical Trial Cooperative Agreement (U01 Clinical Trial Required)<\/strong>
\nThis Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement applications for investigator-initiated mid-phase clinical trials of natural products.\u00a0 All applications submitted under this FOA must be supported by sufficient preliminary data of bioavailability and documentation that the natural product produces a replicable and measurable impact on a biological signature (i.e., measure of the mechanism of action). Only in cases when it is not possible\/practical to measure a biological signature in the patient population of interest or when there is a fundamental understanding of the products mechanism of action will this preliminary data requirement be waived.\u00a0 Applications submitted to this FOA should propose a mid-phase clinical trial to do the following: determine the optimal dose or formulation of a given natural product for use in a future multi-site clinical trial; or determine which patient phenotypes will be responders versus non-responders to the natural product to inform inclusion\/exclusion criteria of a future efficacy study. Clinical trials submitted under this FOA are expected to be hypothesis based, milestone-driven, and directly related to the research priorities and mission of NCCIH. This FOA will not support single-site or multi-site efficacy or effectiveness trials, nor will it support trials to test natural products for the treatment or prevention of cancer.\u00a0 Applicants are encouraged to contact the appropriate NCCIH Scientific\/Research contact for the area of science for which they are planning to develop an application prior to submitting to this FOA.<\/p>\n

NCCIH Natural Product Early Phase Clinical Trial Phased Innovation Award (R61\/R33 Clinical Trial Required)<\/strong>
\nThis Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for investigator-initiated, early phase, clinical trials of natural products (i.e., botanicals, dietary supplements, and probiotics), which have a strong scientific premise to justify further clinical testing. Under this FOA, trials must be designed so that results, whether positive or negative, will provide information of high scientific utility and will support decisions about further development or testing of the natural product. This FOA will provide up to two years (R61 phase) of support for milestone-driven testing of bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and assessment of the natural products effect (i.e., measure of mechanism of action) when used by humans on a biological signature(s). If milestones in the R61 phase are achieved, up to 3 years of additional support (R33 phase) may be awarded to replicate the impact of the natural product on the biological signature(s) when used by humans and assess whether there is an association between the degree of the impact on the biological signature and functional or clinical outcomes in a patient population. Applications can design R33 studies to determine how to optimize the impact of the natural product on the biological signature by (1) optimizing the delivery of the natural product by dose or formulation; (2) combining the natural product with another treatment approach that is known to impact the same biological signature; or (3) studying the impact of the natural product in a target population that is more responsive. Clinical trials submitted under this FOA are expected to be hypothesis based, milestone-driven, and directly related to the research priorities and mission of NCCIH. This R61\/R33 funding mechanism is intended to accelerate the translation of emerging basic science findings about natural products into early-stage clinical testing to determine whether continued clinical research is warranted.<\/p>\n
