Purpose

CDC supports efforts to improve the health of populations disproportionately affected by
infectious diseases by maximizing the health impact of public health services, reducing disease
incidence, and advancing health equity.
A health disparity occurs when a health outcome is seen to a greater or lesser extent between
populations. Health disparities in infectious diseases are inextricably linked to a complex blend
of social determinants that influence which populations are most disproportionately affected by
these infections and diseases.
Social determinants are conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play that
affect a wide range of health and quality-of life-risks and outcomes
(https://www.cdc.gov/socialdeterminants/index.htm). These include conditions for early
childhood development; education, employment, and work; food security, health services,
housing, income, and social exclusion. Health equity is a desirable goal that entails special
efforts to improve the health of those who have experienced social or economic challenges. It
requires:
 Continuous efforts focused on elimination of health disparities, including disparities in
health and in the living and working conditions that influence health, and
 Continuous efforts to maintain a desired state of equity after health disparities are
eliminated.
Applicants should use data, including social determinants data, to identify communities within
their jurisdictions that are disproportionately affected by infectious diseases and related diseases
and conditions, and plan activities to help eliminate health disparities. In collaboration with
partners and appropriate sectors of the community, applicants should consider social
determinants of health in the development, implementation, and evaluation of specific efforts and
use culturally appropriate interventions and strategies that are tailored for the communities for
which they are intended.

to local environments to maximize potential for uptake and sustainability.
Goal 3: Reduce HIV-Related Disparities and Health Inequities
 3.1.1 Strengthen enforcement of civil rights laws (including language access services and
disability rights), promote reform of state HIV criminalization laws, and assist states in
protecting people with HIV from violence, retaliation, and discrimination associated with
HIV status, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, racism, substance use, and sexism.
 3.1.2 Ensure that health care professionals and front-line staff complete education and
training on stigma, discrimination, and unrecognized bias toward populations with or
who experience risk for HIV, including LGBTQI+ people, immigrants, people who use
drugs, and people involved in sex work.
 3.1.3 Support communities in efforts to address misconceptions and reduce HIV-related
stigma and other stigmas that negatively affect HIV outcomes.
 3.1.4 Ensure resources are focused on the communities and populations where the need is
greatest, especially Black, Latino, and American Indian/Alaska Native and other people
of color, particularly those who are also gay and bisexual men, transgender people,
people who use substances, sex workers, and immigrants.
 3.1.5 Create funding opportunities that specifically address social and structural drivers
of health as they relate to Black, Latino, and American Indian/Alaska Native and other
people of color.
 3.4.4 Develop and implement effective, evidence-based, and evidence-informed
interventions that address social and structural determinants of health among people with
or who experience risk for HIV including lack of continuous health care coverage, HIVrelated stigma and discrimination in public health and health care systems, medical
mistrust, inadequate housing and transportation, food insecurity, unemployment, low
health literacy, and involvement with the justice system.
 3.5 Expand effective communication strategies between providers and consumers to build
trust, optimize collaborative decision-making, and promote success of evidence-based
prevention and treatment strategies.

Purpose

This multitopic FOA is a joint effort between EERE’s Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO), the Building Technologies Office (BTO), and DOE’s Office of Electricity (OE). The mission of AMMTO is to advance energy-related materials and manufacturing technologies to increase domestic competitiveness and build a clean, decarbonized economy. This is in alignment with AMMTO’s vision for the future – a competitive U.S. manufacturing sector that accelerates the adoption of innovative material and manufacturing technologies in support of a clean, decarbonized economy. Until October 9,
2022, the relevant workshops and prior research highlighted in the various subtopic descriptions below were supported by EERE’s Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO). On October 9, AMO officially split into two offices within EERE: the Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) and AMMTO.

BTO develops, demonstrates, and accelerates the adoption of cost-effective technologies, techniques, tools and services that enable high-performing, energy-efficient and demand-flexible residential and commercial buildings in both the new and existing buildings markets, in support of an equitable
transition to a decarbonized energy system by 2050, starting with a decarbonized power sector by 2035.

OE provides national leadership to ensure that the Nation’s energy delivery system is secure, resilient, and reliable. Through research and development, OE develops new technologies to improve the infrastructure that effectively and securely brings electricity into our homes, offices, and factories, and also
oversees the Federal and state electricity policies and programs that shape electricity system planning and market operations. Specifically, the goals of this multi-topic FOA are to:
1) Validate and demonstrate next generation materials and manufacturing processes including domestic pilot demonstrations and related technologies to support the transition to U.S. manufacturing;
2) Enable environmentally and socially responsible domestic manufacturing with diversified domestic supply of feedstocks including from recycled goods; and

3) Mature nascent technologies, processes, and methods that improve the performance and market penetration of clean energy technologies and emerging building efficiency technologies.

Purpose

Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW) aims to build foundations for Office of Science (SC) research and training at institutions historically underrepresented in the SC research portfolio. RENEW leverages SC’s unique national laboratories, user facilities, and other research infrastructures to provide undergraduate and graduate training opportunities for students and academic institutions not currently well represented in the U.S. science and technology (S&T) ecosystem. The hands-on experiences gained through RENEW will open new career avenues for participants, forming a nucleus for a future pool of talented young scientists, engineers, and technicians with the critical skills and expertise needed for the full breadth of SC research activities. Principal Investigators, key personnel, and students and postdocs of RENEW awards will be invited to participate in ASCR researcher meetings and/or SC-wide professional
development and collaborator events.
The goal of ASCR’s RENEW program is to increase participation of underrepresented groups in the advanced scientific computing workforce and to increase participation of underrepresented institutions in advanced scientific computing workforce training. ASCR announces its interest in receiving applications for collaborative projects to enhance training opportunities for students and postdoctoral researchers from underrepresented groups and at institutions that are currently underrepresented in the ASCR portfolio such as non-R12 institutions of higher education and minority serving institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Program Objective
ASCR’s mission is to advance applied mathematics and computer science; deliver the most advanced computational scientific applications in partnership with disciplinary science; advance computing and networking capabilities; and develop future generations of computing hardware and software tools for science and engineering, in partnership with the research community, including U.S. industry. The ASCR program gives the science and technology community, including U.S. industry, access to world-class supercomputers and the tools to use them for science and engineering. ASCR accomplishes this by developing and maintaining world-class computing and network facilities for science; and advancing research in applied mathematics, computer science, and advanced networking.
