The Mississippi Delta is a historically and culturally rich region of the United States. The architecture, French, Spanish, British, and German, is as diverse as the people whose origins are European, Native American, Spanish, African, and more. But for all its cultural wealth, there is a poverty of health and healthcare in the region. Residents of the 18-county region contend with persistent poor health outcomes compounded by challenges to attaining preventive services and care, poor quality of care, and stagnant opportunity structures, particularly as it relates to cardiovascular disease (CVD).Roughly 1 in 10 (9.9% ≈ 28.6 million) adults in the US have at least 1 type of CVD, including coronary heart disease, heart failure, or stroke. This number excludes hypertension, a risk factor for and cause of CVD but not a type of CVD. However, hypertension or high blood pressure is a critical risk factor for stroke. An estimated 120 million American adults (48.1%) have it, most (3 in 4) don’t have it controlled, and 1 in 5 adults is unaware they have hypertension.In 2012 CVD, particularly heart disease, was the leading cause of death in the Delta (244.4 deaths per 100,000). The region’s residents experience age-adjusted death rates due to heart disease, stroke, and other CVDs that are considerably higher than national rates and the rest of Mississippi. According to the 2018 Cardiovascular Health Examination Survey (CHES) in the Mississippi Delta, the adjusted overall prevalence of hypertension among adults in the region 18 and older was 42.8%.The persistence of these outcomes in the Delta is attributable to modifiable CVD conditions and risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, coronary heart disease, COPD, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke. To sufficiently address these conditions, interventions must include evidence-based and practice-based approaches that are innovative and tailored to the unique challenges and strengths of the 18-county MS Delta Region. These interventions are needed in strategies that are focused on health systems, team-based care, and linkages to community resources and clinical services that address the social conditions that contribute to the prevalence of CVD in the MS Delta Region. This cooperative agreement builds from lessons learned from previous iterations. It focuses on policy, systems, and environmental changes that impact clinical and community settings and lifestyle changes that reduce uncontrolled blood pressure and CVD within the MS Delta Region.

Eligibility: Financial assistance from this Notice of Funding Opportunity will be provided only to the Mississippi Department of Health /Mississippi Delta Health Collaborative (MDHC). No other applications will be solicited or reviewed.

A key pillar of U.S. strategy in India is to strengthen India’s innovation and entrepreneurship eco-system while also advancing the role of women in the economy and the workforce. Building on the success of our Academy of Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) 2023 program, U.S. Consulate General Hyderabad proposes in 2024 to create an AWE program of 60 total participants for an intensive, four month, “workshop” style training and mentorship program. Our AWE program will provide training in basic business principles using the established Academy of Women Entrepreneurs/DreamBuilder curriculum. Building on the DreamBuilder framework, we seek to add value for participants by including extensive USG alumni engagement, including the participation of distinguished alumni as speakers and as informal mentors to all participants. Hyderabad’s AWE program will again also tap into existing U.S. government-funded resources to provide additional value to participants, including the use of our American Corners for in-person event locations and the use of a specialist to help participants hone their business communications and presentation skills. For 2024, priority for participation will be given to underrepresented groups, including Muslim women.

The MSRP EHDA supports the initial exploration of innovative, high-risk, high-gain, and potentially groundbreaking concepts in the MS research field. The studies supported by this award mechanism are expected to lay the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and study design. The presentation of preliminary and/or published data is not required. The proposed research project must be innovative. Innovative research may examine a novel paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from novel perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance beyond ongoing research or published data is not considered innovative and is not consistent with the intent of this award mechanism. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to clearly and explicitly articulate how the proposed research project is innovative in the field of MS research. For the “Correlates of Disease Activity and Progression in MS” Focus Area, applications must demonstrate access to the relevant specimens and/or data of the proposed cohort. Refer to Attachment 9: Letter(s) Confirming Access to Specimens and/or Data for more details. Note for projects involving animal models of MS: Applicants should be prudent in the choice of animal model(s) for their proposed research project. Applicants must justify the relevance of their proposed animal model(s) to the specific aspect of human MS to be studied. New Investigator option: The FY24 MSRP EHDA mechanism encourages applications from investigators in the early stages of their MS research career. The New Investigator option is designed to support the continued development of promising independent investigators that are early in their faculty appointments. Applications from Established Investigators and New Investigators will be peer- and programmatically reviewed in separate groups. PIs applying under the New Investigator option are encouraged to strengthen their applications through collaboration with investigators experienced in MS research and/or possess other relevant expertise as demonstrated by a record of funding and publications.
