The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications for research targeted at elucidating the effect of HIV and/or anti-retroviral therapy on the growth, development and functioning of the placenta in pregnant individuals with substance use/misuse, the impact of placental abnormalities on maternal outcomes, and the underlying mechanisms.

This grant is aimed at advancing research on the effects of HIV and anti-retroviral therapy (ART) on the growth, development, and functioning of the placenta in pregnant individuals with substance use or misuse. The funding opportunity seeks to explore how placental abnormalities impact maternal outcomes in people living with HIV (PLWH) who also struggle with substance use. Additionally, it aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms driving these effects, with a focus on improving maternal and fetal health outcomes.

The Foundation provides funds, resources and mentoring support to help individuals, groups, and communities. The DWF Foundation supports registered charities with an impact in health and wellbeing, homelessness, education, employability, or environment and sustainability. Grants are given to initiatives that develop and improve local communities by: 1) Tackling a specific community issue; 2) Helping voluntary and community groups become more effective and efficient; 3) Encouraging the involvement in the community of those too often excluded; 4) Enabling young people to develop skills for the benefit of the community.

This FOA encourages research relevant to the development of novel screening approaches and/or therapeutic interventions for potentially fatal or disabling conditions that have been identified through newborn screening, as well as for "high priority" genetic conditions where screening may be possible in the near future. Having an accurate screening test, as well as demonstrating the benefits of early intervention or treatment, are important criteria for including a condition on a newborn screening panel. This FOA defines a "high priority" condition as one where screening is not currently recommended, but infants with the condition would significantly benefit from early identification and treatment.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) solicits research applications that propose implementation science methodology to embed existing evidence-based coordinated pain care models into a variety of public and private health care systems (HCS) where this type of care does not exist.

This NOFO is intended to embed the coordinated care model under study into the health care delivery system of applicant institutions. Coordinated pain care approaches proposed for study are expected to include interventions from multiple disciplines as described below and should aim to improve pain management based on the biopsychosocial model of pain. Emphasis should be on reaching populations of patients with greatest need.

Models of coordinated care proposed by the study team should be aligned with health care resources of the participating HCS and should be informed through engagement of stakeholders including patients, providers, healthcare system executives, policymakers, and payors. The study teams are expected to include health care providers from multiple disciplines and implementation scientists.

Trials will be supported by the Coordinating Center (CC) of the HEAL Pragmatic and Implementation Studies to Improve the Management of Pain and Reduce Opioid Prescribing (PRISM) Program. The Coordinating Center will provide technical expertise in all aspects of research and coordination across studies awarded through this NOFO. Recipients will work with the CC to facilitate planning and refinement of proposed studies in partnership with health care delivery systems.
