The goal of the training grant program is to enhance the quality and availability of safety training for United States commercial fishermen. Availability includes the frequency, geographic considerations, channels or partners of dissemination, culturally and/or educational appropriate training material, and other characteristics of a successful training program. As a result, the Coast Guard and NIOSH invite applications to support the development and implementation of training and education programs that: develop and deliver training which addresses the needs of commercial fishermen in the United States provide qualified marine safety instructors, or otherwise accepted by the National Maritime Center instructors and faculty to conduct the training evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the training program on reducing injuries among fishermen coordinate with existing training programs and partnerships with industry fishermen, and agencies conform to 46 U.S.C. § 4502 (i) Safety Standards for commercial fishing safety training In order to support and administer the grant program, the Coast Guard and NIOSH signed a Memorandum of Understanding on May 17, 2018. While the Coast Guard, along with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), provides regulatory oversight for safety and health matters within the commercial fishing industry, NIOSH is an agency operating under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with the mission of generating new knowledge in occupational safety and health and transferring that knowledge into practice to prevent worker injury, illness and death. NIOSH conducts and funds scientific research, develops methods to prevent occupational hazards, develops guidance and authoritative recommendations, translates scientific knowledge into products and services, disseminates information, identifies factors underlying work-related disease and injury and responds to requests for workplace health hazard evaluations.

The Mecklenburg County Business Investment Grant provides qualifying companies relocating to or expanding within Mecklenburg County, North Carolina with a partial refund of the new ad valorem property taxes generated by their project. Administered by the Mecklenburg County Office of Economic Development (OED) in collaboration with the City of Charlotte's Business Recruitment and Expansion team and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, the program is designed to attract significant new investment and job creation to the county. To qualify, a company must commit to bringing at least 20 new jobs and a minimum of $3 million in capital investment to Mecklenburg County. Grant terms — including the percentage of taxes refunded (typically 50% to 90%) and the length of the reimbursement period (generally three to seven years, with existing local companies eligible for extended terms) — are determined based on the number of jobs created, the size of the capital investment, average annual wages, the project's geographic location within the county, and whether the company falls within one of the area's identified target industries. The grant is structured as a reimbursement, meaning the company first pays its full property tax bill and is then refunded a portion of the incremental taxes generated by the new investment.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications that propose to use mouse models to conduct rigorous preclinical testing of drugs or drug combinations currently used for other conditions, as well as investigational drugs at various stages of clinical development, predicted to be efficacious in AD/ADRD. This initiative will also support preclinical testing of repurposable or investigational drug candidates in combination with non-pharmacologic interventions leading to robust translational outcomes. The central goal is to establish robust proof of concept that will enable rational drug repurposing and combination therapy development for the treatment and prevention of AD/ADRD.
