Title: “DoD JPC8/CRMRP Regenerative Medicine Focused Research Award (AFIRM III)”
Pre-Application Deadline: 8/7/19
Application Deadline: 11/20/19

As part of the JPC-8/CRMRP, its regenerative medicine portfolio supports research aimed at providing solutions to repair, reconstruct, or regenerate tissue lost or damaged due to traumatic injury, particularly tissues of the extremities and craniomaxillofacial compartment.

Regenerative medicine encompasses multiple approaches (engineered/synthetic, pharmacologic, biologic, and combinatorial) to the treatment of damaged tissues by using therapies that promote the self-regenerative capacity of the body. To address this effort, the JPC-8/CRMRP is offering the Regenerative Medicine Focused Research Award (RMFRA) as its next iteration of the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine, AFIRM III, in FY19 to continue its effort to support the development of regenerative medicine solutions.

Title: “Chemistry of Indoor Environments”
Application Deadline: Continuous

The program makes grants to achieve a series of interrelated goals.

• Generate new knowledge by directly supporting original, high-quality research to identify indoor chemical sources, characterize the chemical and physical transformations taking place indoors, and determine how indoor chemistry is shaped by building attributes and occupancy.
• Develop a modeling consortium to improve the cohesiveness of the community and its ability to integrate findings.
• Build a thriving, multidisciplinary research community of chemists; environmental, civil, and mechanical engineers; architects; atmospheric scientists; microbiologists; and environmental health experts that will endure beyond the program's timeline.
• Train the next generation of scholars and practitioners. An important component of this program is introducing new voices into the field and training the next generation of researchers.
• Develop community-wide research protocols, and norms.
• Advance capacity for discovery through development of new tools for data collection, sampling, analysis, and visualization.

Title: “Composite Airframe Life Extension (CALE)”
Application Deadline: 10/10/20

The CALE initiative technology will be selected and developed to accomplish three mutually supportive Technical Goals as follows:

• Technical Goal 1: Increased use of progressive damage failure analysis methods for composite structures to predict the initiation and progression of damage in composite structures, coupled to damage tolerant design approaches for composite structures.
• Technical Goal 2: More accurately predict the service life of composite airframe structures, including predicting residual strength as a function of age, environment, and service usage.
• Technical Goal 3: Reduce reliance on empirical data and empirical testing during the design, development, and airworthiness verification of composite airframe structures, and reduce the scope, expense, time and risk of structural building block programs to ensure transition of advanced structural concepts.

Title: “National Policy Development Center for Preparing Youth and Young Adults with Disabilities for Employment”
Deadline: 7/23/19

This FOA solicits innovative applications to improve the capacity within and across both general and disability-specific youth service delivery systems to improve employment and post-secondary education outcomes for youth and young adults with disabilities.

Applicants are encouraged to think broadly about recent changes in national and state policy such as the implementation of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, reauthorization of the Perkins Act, efforts to modernize the national apprenticeship system, and passage of the First Step Act as they consider new, strategic ways to remove barriers and promote access to employment for youth and young adults with disabilities.

Title: “Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program: Independent Living Transition Services for Youth and Young Adults with Significant Disabilities from Minority Backgrounds”
LOI Deadline: 7/24/19
Deadline: 8/19/19

The purpose of NIDILRR's DRRPs, which are funded through the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by developing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that advance a wide range of independent living, employment, and health and function outcomes for individuals with disabilities, especially individuals with the most significant disabilities.

Under this particular DRRP priority, grantees must contribute to the evidence base for CILs' provision of effective services to help youth with significant disabilities -- particularly those from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds -- transition to post-secondary life.
