The Long Beach Safe & Secure Program provides Long Beach, California small businesses with reimbursement grants of up to $750 or $1,500 (depending on business size) to fund security upgrades to their storefronts. Administered by the City of Long Beach, the program offers two tiers of funding: businesses with storefronts of 1,500 square feet or less may receive up to $750, while businesses with storefronts between 1,500 and 5,000 square feet, or with 25 or more linear feet of street frontage, may qualify for up to $1,500. The higher funding level is intended to support more comprehensive security installations that reduce cash exposure and deter crime. Grant funds may be used for security upgrades including cameras, floodlighting, alarm systems, and point-of-sale systems. The program operates on a reimbursement basis, and applicants must submit receipts documenting completed purchases along with photos of the storefront or area that was improved as part of the application. To qualify, businesses must operate a publicly accessible storefront physically located within Long Beach city limits (PO Boxes and shipping center addresses are not eligible), hold an active City of Long Beach business license (or be current on a payment plan for license fees), be currently open and active, and earn no more than $5 million in annual gross revenue. Eligible business types include independently-owned and operated for-profit businesses (including sole proprietorships and franchises, though publicly traded companies are not eligible) and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Landlords are also eligible to apply on behalf of commercial storefronts, whether vacant or occupied. Corporations, limited liability companies, and limited partnerships must hold "active" status with the California Secretary of State. Storefront size (which determines the applicable grant tier) must be verified through a lease agreement, floor plan, or property records.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) announces this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research on how mind and body interventions through psychological and/or physical inputs (e.g., mindfulness meditation, yoga, acupuncture, massage, and other brain and/or body based interventions) impact mechanisms of emotional well-being (EWB) and their associations with whole person health (WPH), consistent with the NIH priority to address the health needs of the American people and improve their well-being. The NOFO will support rigorous and well-powered mechanistic research studies that are supported by strong preliminary data. The studies should examine the effects of mind and body interventions on innovative mechanisms of EWB (as the primary outcome), as well as the associated relationship with the Whole Person Health Index (WPHI, as a secondary outcome).
