The Unity Foundation of La Porte County is offering "Power for Good" Grants to support qualified nonprofit organizations, governmental bodies, and educators serving La Porte County, Indiana. This grant program aligns with the Foundation's mission to enhance the quality of life and strengthen the county by supporting innovative projects.

The Foundation encourages submission of innovative projects that will further enhance the quality of life and strengthen the county, seeking new concepts rather than repetitive projects. Priorities for funding include one-time projects or needs, projects that provide leverage for generating other funds and community resources, and projects that facilitate cooperation and collaboration between organizations and communities within La Porte County. Funding requests should be at least $500 and no more than $5,000. Eligible applicants generally include charitable organizations with verifiable 501(c)(3) status operating or offering programs in La Porte County, Indiana. Governmental bodies (such as townships and fire districts) and educational institutions (including teachers) are also eligible, with additional restrictions noted under General Grant Making Policies. Churches may request funds for non-religious purposes only. The expected outcomes are innovative solutions that address community needs, leverage additional resources, and foster collaboration, ultimately leading to a stronger and more vibrant La Porte County.

The purpose of the NIH Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24) is to provide support to mid-career health-professional doctorates for protected time to devote to patient-oriented research (POR) and to act as research mentors primarily for clinical residents, clinical fellows and/or junior clinical faculty. Section I. Funding Opportunity Description The overall goal of the NIH Research Career Development program is to help ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists is available in appropriate scientific disciplines to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) support a variety of mentored and non-mentored career development award programs designed to foster the transition of new investigators to research independence and to support established investigators in achieving specific objectives. Candidates should review the different career development (K) award programs to determine the best program to support their goals. More information about Career programs may be found at the NIH Extramural Training Mechanisms website. The NIH Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24) is designed to enable mid-career clinician-scientists to: Devote more time to augment their capabilities in Patient-Oriented Research (POR); and Provide mentoring to junior clinical investigators in the conduct of POR (see below for definition). The K24 award is intended to provide protected time to mid-career clinical investigators to provide mentoring to junior clinical investigators, particularly K23 grantees, in POR and to stabilize the careers of these investigators. The intent is to allow these investigators to continue to conduct POR and be available as mentors in POR. It is expected that K24 recipients will obtain new or additional independent, peer-reviewed funding for POR as PD/PI and establish and assume leadership roles in collaborative POR programs. In addition, it is expected that there will be an increased effort and commitment to act as a mentor to beginning clinician investigators in POR to enhance the research productivity of both the K24 investigator and increase the pool of well-trained clinical researchers of the future. For the purposes of the K24 award, Patient-Oriented Research is defined as research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. This area of research includes: (1) mechanisms of human disease; (2) therapeutic interventions; (3) clinical trials, and; (4) the development of new technologies. Excluded from this definition are in vitro studies that utilize human tissues but do not deal directly with patients. In other words, patient-oriented research is research in which it is necessary to know the identity of the patients from whom the cells or tissues under study are derived. Studies falling under Exemption 4 for human subjects research are not included in this definition. See also the NIH Director's Panel on Clinical Research Report. NIH defines a clinical trial as "A research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioral outcomes." (NOT-OD-15-015). NIH not only supports trials of safety and efficacy, it also supports mechanistic exploratory studies that meet the definition of a clinical trial and are designed to explore or understand a biological or behavioral process, the pathophysiology of a disease, or the mechanism of action of an intervention. These studies may focus on basic and/or translational discovery research in healthy human subjects and in human subjects who are affected by the pathophysiology of diseases and disorders. By addressing basic questions and concepts in biology, behavior, and pathophysiology, these studies may provide insight into understanding human diseases and disorders along with potential treatments or preventive strategies. NIH also supports biomarker studies that meet the definition of a clinical trial and that may provide information about physiological function, target engagement of novel therapeutics, and/or the impact of therapeutics on treatment response. NIH thus supports studies that meet the definition of clinical trials (as noted above) but do not seek to establish safety, clinical efficacy, effectiveness, clinical management, and/or implementation of preventive, therapeutic, and services interventions. Note: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary clinical trial, as part of their research and career development. Applicants not planning an independent clinical trial, or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, must apply to companion FOA Special Note: Because of the differences in individual Institute and Center (IC) program requirements for this FOA, prospective candidates are strongly encouraged to consult the Table of IC-Specific Information, Requirements and Staff Contacts, to make sure that their application is appropriate for the requirements of one of the participating NIH ICs.
