Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMM); This FOA
supports fundamental research leading to a theoretical foundation
for design and systems engineering. In particular, the Systems
Science program seeks intellectual advances in which underlying
theories (such as probability theory, decision theory, game theory,
organizational sociology, behavioral economics or cognitive
psychology) are integrated and abstracted to develop explanatory
models for design and systems engineering in a general, domainindependent fashion. Proposals are due February 16, 2016. For

Healthy Habits: Timing for Developing Sustainable Healthy
Behaviors in Children and Adolescents
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); National
Institute of Health (NIH); This FOA seeks to encourage
applications that employ innovative research to identify
mechanisms of influence and/or promote positive sustainable
health behavior(s) in children and youth (birth to age 21).
Applications to promote positive health behavior(s) should target
social and cultural factors, including, but not limited to: schools,
families, communities, population, food industry, age-appropriate
learning tools and games, social media, social networking,
technology and mass media. The ultimate goal of this FOA is to
promote research that identifies and enhances processes that
promote sustainable positive behavior or changes social and
cultural norms that influence health and future health behaviors.

Juvenile Drug Courts Training and Technical Assistance Program
Department of Justice (DoJ); Office of Justice Programs (OJP);
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)
envisions a nation where our children are healthy, educated, and

justice system, the contact should be rare, fair, and beneficial to
them. To help OJJDP fulfill this vision, this program will fund
training and technical assistance to states, state and local courts,
units of local government, and tribal governments that will build
their capacity to develop, maintain, and enhance juvenile drug
courts for substance-abusing youth. Proposals are due February 8,
2016. For more information, visit Grants.gov

Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related
Injury
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP); National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC); The NCIPC is
soliciting investigator-initiated research that will help expand and
advance our understanding of how best to disseminate, implement,
and translate evidence-based primary prevention strategies,
programs, and policies designed to reduce child abuse and neglect.
NCIPC is also soliciting investigator-initiated research to expand
our knowledge about what works to prevent violence by
rigorously evaluating primary prevention strategies, programs,
and policies, to address specific gaps in the prevention of injury
caused by child abuse and neglect, teen dating violence, intimate
partner violence, and sexual violence. This initiative is intended to
support primary prevention strategies, programs or policies that
target universal or selected high-risk populations. Proposals are
due March 1, 2016. For more information, visit Grants.gov

of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support
research to develop, refine, and pilot test innovative strategies to
improve management of type 1 diabetes in young children (under
5 years old) and/or school-aged children (ages 5-9 years old). At
the end of the funding period, there should be a well-developed
and well-characterized intervention that has been demonstrated to
be safe, feasible to implement, acceptable in the target population,
and, if promising, ready to be tested in a larger efficacy trial.

Mechanism for Time-Sensitive Drug Abuse Research (R21)
National Institutes of Health (NIH); This FOA will support pilot,
feasibility or exploratory research in 5 priority areas in substance
use epidemiology and health services, including: 1) responses to
sudden and severe emerging drug issues; 2) responses to emerging
marijuana trends and topics related to the shifting policy
landscape; 3) responses to unexpected and time-sensitive
prescription drug abuse research opportunities; 4) responses to
unexpected and time-sensitive medical system issues and 5)
responses to unexpected and time-sensitive criminal or juvenile
justice opportunities that relate to drug abuse and access and
provision of health care service. It should be clear that the
knowledge gained from the proposed study is time-sensitive and
that an expedited rapid review and funding are required in order
for the scientific question to be answered. For more information,
