Targeted Request for Applications

Targeted Funding Opportunity:

The National MS Society is pleased to announce the opening of a request for applications (RFA). This opportunity will be administered through the FIRST-MS initiative. By supporting the development of innovative risk identification and screening technologies, FIRST-MS (Faster Identification, Recognition, and Screening for Timely MS Diagnosis) aims to enable earlier diagnosis, thereby shortening time to treatment, and improving long-term outcomes for people with MS.

This funding opportunity seeks innovative screening technologies that can identify individuals likely to have MS within populations already enriched for MS risk. The goal of this global initiative is to support development and validation of scalable, clinically practical, and economical screening approaches that can be used across a wide variety of healthcare settings (e.g., primary care, specialty care, or community-based settings). Successful technologies will improve the identification of individuals who should undergo comprehensive neurological evaluation for MS, ultimately accelerating time to diagnosis.

Up to 10 recipients will be awarded Planning Grants with up to $25,000 over 3 months.

John R. Justice (JRJ) Program

Formula

The Bureau of Justice Statistics will calculate a minimum base allocation for each state and the District of Columbia, which is then enhanced by an amount proportional to the state's share of the national population.

Governor-designated state agencies (or in the case of Washington, D.C., a Mayor-designated agency) will administer the JRJ Program in each state. We encourage prosecutors and public defenders with specific questions about the JRJ Loan Repayment application process to contact the Governor-designated (or Mayor-designated) agency in the state within which they work.

CEPRA funds are appropriated by the Legislature on a two-year cycle that coincides with the Texas Legislative biennium. The funds are awarded through a competitive application process in which all applications are evaluated by the GLO’s CEPRA team. Selected projects are approved by the Land Commissioner. Projects selected for funding must comply with administrative and budgetary requirements set forth in the CEPRA rules.

Our work ensures that occupational therapy interventions are grounded in rigorous scientific evidence, ultimately improving outcomes for millions of people worldwide.

Hand in Hand Research Grant

Background

To address the urgent need for more practice evidence in hand and occupational therapy, the American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF), American Society of Hand Therapists (ASHT), and the American Hand Therapy Foundation (AHTF) have joined forces to launch the Hand in Hand Research Grant- a proof-of-concept initiative designed to close the gap between research and real-world practice.

Program Mission

The Hand in Hand Research Grant aims to spark innovative, early-stage research that is deeply rooted in community engagement. This grant is designed to help lay necessary groundwork for future large-scale studies by supporting foundational work that advances real-world impact in hand and upper extremity therapy.

This grant seeks to catalyze partnerships among researchers, clinicians, and community stakeholders, fostering collaboration at every stage of the research process. By prioritizing research that is grounded in the lived experiences and practical realities of diverse communities, this initiative aims to ensure that findings are not only evidence-informed but also actionable in everyday practice settings.

Grant Details

Grant Amount: $50,000

Duration: 1 year

Priority areas for research include, but are not limited to:
