About The Sontag Foundation
The Sontag Foundation, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, is one of the largest private funders of brain cancer research in North America. The Foundation was established in 2002 by Frederick and Susan Sontag following Susan’s battle with a normally lethal form of brain cancer. To date, the Foundation has granted over $55 million in funding to support brain cancer research.
In 2014, the Sontags established The Brain Tumor Network, to provide free navigation services for patients with brain tumors, helping to connect them to brain cancer specialists, second opinions and clinical trials. To date, the Sontags have contributed over $20 million in support of the critical services The Brain Tumor Network provides to patients with a brain tumor diagnosis and their caregivers.

REASON (Rapid Explanation, Analysis and Sourcing Online) Proposers Day Event
IARPA has just announced the REASON (Rapid Explanation, Analysis and Sourcing Online) Program, which aims to develop technology to provide automated suggestions to intelligence analysts to help them improve the evidence and reasoning in their analytic reports in much the same way that automated grammar checkers provide suggestions to writers. This research will benefit from contributions of computer scientists, social scientists, and experts in philosophy, argumentation and logic.
IARPA will hold a “Proposers’ Day” event on Wednesday, January 11, 2023 for people interested in learning more about the program. The event will include a presentation about REASON, a Q&A session, lightning talks, and opportunities to identify teaming partners. This will be a hybrid virtual/in-person event (in Northern Virginia) with a registration deadline of January 6, 2023.
For more information about REASON, please visit https://www.iarpa.gov/research-programs/reason
To register for the Proposers’ Day, please visit https://www.client-meeting.net/reason-proposers-day

Racial Justice/Racial Equity Seed Funding (Provost Office)
Societal inequities along racial lines have deep historical and systemic roots and span many areas, including but not limited to education, housing, health, economic security, voting and political participation, and the criminal justice system. Understanding racial inequalities that exist in our society and identifying mechanisms to address them is critical to achieving a more equitable society.
This funding opportunity seeks to identify and support research proposals from current, full-time members of the Emory faculty whose research, scholarly efforts, and creative activities address racial justice/racial equity. At Emory University, racial justice means making sure our society works for every citizen. Specifically, it is about working toward equity for individuals and groups systematically excluded and disadvantaged in the United States, whether that exclusion has historic origins or stems from current biased practices.
Deadline: 1/31/2023

Design for Environmental Sustainability in Computing (DESC)
The goal of the Design for Environmental Sustainability in Computing (DESC) program is to address the substantial environmental impacts that computing has through its entire lifecycle from design and manufacturing, through deployment into operation, and finally into reuse, recycling, and disposal.
These impacts go well beyond commonly-considered measures of energy consumption at run-time and include greenhouse warming gas emissions (GHGs), depletion of scarce resources like rare earth elements, and the creation of toxic byproducts.
For instance, embodied energy, GHGs, and other harmful emissions from manufacturing computing systems can often be higher than the operational energy and resulting GHGs and harmful emissions systems will use and emit during their lifetime.
Data centers can directly impact local ecosystems through heat management practices, as well as impacting local power management and capacity.
Deadline: 3/17/2023

Identifying and Addressing Historical and Structural Drivers of Medical Mistrust among Hispanic/Latino Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men (HLMSM) for HIV Prevention
Medical mistrust (MM) is associated with HIV disparities among Hispanic/Latino (H/L) gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (HLMSM), preventing or delaying access to HIV services.
Because its root causes in this priority group are unknown, understanding
pathways that lead to MM would allow targeted interventions to address MM in this population.

Long-Acting Injectables for the Treatment of HIV in Non-Clinic Community-Based Settings
Long-acting injectable (LAI) antiretroviral therapy (ART) offers many potential advantages over daily oral treatment such as improved convenience, adherence, and treatment satisfaction.
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support research on LAI-ART by implementing LAI-ART administration in non-clinic settings.
A multi-site, effectiveness implementation research study, designed to compare receiving LAI-ART in non-clinic community settings with the oral standard-of-care HIV clinical treatment, should offer a unique source of information for improving acceptability, availability, and uptake of LAI-ART.

Advanced Development and Validation of Emerging Biospecimen Science Technologies for Basic and Clinical Cancer Research (R33 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on further development and validation of emerging technologies that improve the quality of the samples used for cancer research or clinical care.
This includes new capabilities to address issues related to pre-analytical degradation of targeted analytes during the collection, processing, handling, and/or storage of cancer-relevant biospecimens.
This FOA solicits R33 applications where major feasibility gaps for the technology or methodology have been overcome, as demonstrated with supportive preliminary data, but still require further development and rigorous validation to encourage adoption by the research community.
The overall goal is to support the development of highly innovative technologies capable of maximizing or otherwise interrogating the quality and utility of biological samples used for downstream analyses.
This FOA will support the development of tools, devices, instrumentation, and associated methods to preserve or protect sample integrity, or establish verification criteria for quality assessment/quality control and handling under diverse conditions.

Climate Program Office (CPO), Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) Division - Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)
Threats from flooding and wildfire are some of the most significant risks of climate change facing communities in the U.S. and its territories.
Since 2020, flooding and wildfire have caused over $20 Billion in damages (NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, U.S. Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters (2022)).
These impacts are most acute in Frontline communities. Frontline communities are defined here as those communities who are the most vulnerable to and will be the most adversely affected by climate change and inequitable actions because of systemic and historical socioeconomic disparities, environmental injustices, or other forms of injustice.
However, it is also understood that characterizing identity is inherently complex, changes over time, and is best defined by communities in their own terms.

Biodiversity on a Changing Planet (BoCP)
The biodiversity found in nature is essential for healthy ecosystems and human well-being. However, the disruption and decline of Earth’s biodiversity is currently occurring at an unprecedented rate.
The resulting shifts in biodiversity dynamics-- including changes in the scope and structure of biodiversity-- are increasingly significant but not well-understood. Shifting biodiversity dynamics in turn influence functional biodiversity, which includes the roles of traits, organisms, species, communities, and ecosystem processes in natural systems.
Changes in biodiversity dynamics and functional biodiversity are essential factors for future planetary resilience under environmental change, including climate change.

The FOA targets settings where EBPs are not currently delivered or delivered with fidelity, such that there are disparities in mental health and related functional outcomes (e.g., employment, educational attainment, stable housing, integration in the community, treatment of comorbid substance use disorders) for the population(s) served.
