RESTORE Act Centers of Excellence Research Grants Program

U.S. Dept. of Treasury RESTORE Act Program·Government

This grant program funds state governments to establish one or more Centers of Excellence through competitive subawards to nongovernmental entities and consortia, including institutions of higher education, in the Gulf Coast Region. The centers will support science, technology, and monitoring related to coastal and deltaic sustainability, ecosystem research, offshore energy, sustainable and resilient growth, and Gulf of Mexico observation and mapping. The expected outcome is the creation of research and monitoring capacity that advances coastal resilience and related regional development objectives.

DoW Military Burn, Patient-Centered Research Award

Teresa M Parker-Reeser Grants Officer

This funding opportunity supports phased cooperative agreement research to plan and implement behavioral and social intervention clinical trials related to dental, oral, or craniofacial conditions. The UG3 phase funds trial planning activities, including protocol development, data management, and operational readiness, followed by a UH3 phase for conducting investigator-initiated intervention research. It is intended for eligible U.S.-based institutions and organizations that can carry out clinical trial research.

This is a U.S.-based clinical trial research opportunity focused on dental, oral, and craniofacial behavioral interventions, so it has limited strategic relevance for IFRC or National Societies. Eligibility is restricted to specific U.S. applicant types, and the source does not suggest an implementation or partnership route for international humanitarian actors.

The selected individual or experts will work with prosecutors, judges, and investigators in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska to strengthen prosecutorial methodology, case prioritization, and legal reform efforts. The intended outcome is stronger institutional capacity to manage complex organized crime and corruption cases, including cases with a U.S. nexus.

This is a U.S. Mission grant for individual experts focused on anti-organized crime and corruption capacity building in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is outside IFRC and National Society core mandates. Eligibility is restricted to individuals and the source gives no realistic role for Movement participation, so relevance is very low.
