The Continuing Human Enabling, Enhancing, Restoring and Sustaining (CHEERS) Multiple Authority Announcement (MAA), managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Human Effectiveness Directorate and the United States Air Force School of Medicine, establishes a comprehensive research and technology development strategy that spans basic research through technology maturation and transition. This initiative leverages multiple acquisition authorities such as Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs), and cooperative agreements under various U.S. Code sections, to facilitate a broad spectrum of innovative projects in human effectiveness and cognitive warfare. The program issues a suite of solicitations aimed at advancing specific technical objectives defined in Statements of Objectives (SOO), addressing areas like holistic decision-making models, information mastery in cognitive warfare, and other human-centric technologies. Notably, the program has implemented a series of moratoria impacting particular technical areas to maintain fair competition and program integrity. As of April 2026, the Technical Area 3.3.2.2.1.1, “Holistic Models for Decision-Making LOE 1,” is closed to new submissions for six months following the proposal receipt deadline in April 2026. Similarly, earlier restrictions were placed on areas such as “Information Mastery in Cognitive Warfare LOE 2” and other segments of the SOO, each closed for a six-month period subsequent to their respective proposal deadlines. Currently, three active solicitations under the CHEERS MAA—covering Broad Agency Announcements, Procurement for Experimental Purposes, and Commercial Solutions Openings—continue to accept white paper proposals. These solicitations provide detailed technical areas and attachment resources that must be reviewed together to ensure compliance and full understanding. The program centralizes outreach through designated contracting officers and technical points of contact, reinforcing clear communication channels for prospective participants. The work is primarily conducted in Dayton, Ohio, reflecting the operational hub for this broad research endeavor.

World Trade Center Youth Research Coordinating Center (U54)The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is preparing to award a U54 cooperative agreement to establish a World Trade Center Youth Research Coordinating Center. This initiative responds to a 2022 congressional mandate requiring the WTC Health Program to create a research cohort of individuals who were 21 years old or younger, including those exposed in utero, at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and who were within a defined proximity to the WTC site. The Center’s primary mission is to build and sustain this cohort to enable long-term studies on the health and educational consequences of early-life exposure to 9/11-related environmental hazards, with a focus on developmental, cognitive, and lifelong health outcomes. It will integrate multidisciplinary expertise in epidemiology, environmental health, data management, and community engagement to ensure robust, representative research. The Center will operate through four core functions: planning, administration, and evaluation; information technology and data management; communication, outreach, and community engagement; and direct research activities. Community involvement is foundational, with an emphasis on transparent stakeholder communication and inclusive participation. The project aims to close critical knowledge gaps regarding how early exposure to the 9/11 disaster affects individuals across their lifespan, providing evidence to inform public health strategies and support services for affected populations. The funding opportunity is forecasted to be posted on July 31, 2026, and inquiries may be directed to the designated scientific program official at the CDC.

Implementation Research on Coordinated Combinations of Community-Clinical Linkage Strategies for Diabetes Prevention and ManagementDiabetes is a significant public health burden in the United States, contributing to substantial illness, mortality, and healthcare costs, with Federally Qualified Health Centers and other safety-net clinics serving populations at heightened risk. This initiative seeks to advance understanding of how coordinated combinations of community-clinical linkage strategies can be effectively implemented to improve diabetes prevention and management in real-world primary care settings. While individual strategies have demonstrated benefits, there is limited knowledge about how to integrate multiple approaches in a synergistic manner, and this research aims to uncover the facilitators and barriers to adopting, integrating, and sustaining these combined interventions. The program will conduct implementation research within actual FQHCs to generate practical, actionable evidence that can inform scalable best practices. The focus is on identifying the factors that influence the successful adoption and long-term viability of coordinated community-clinical linkages, with the goal of strengthening diabetes care in underserved communities. Led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the Department of Health and Human Services, this effort is designed to produce insights that bridge the gap between research and practice, ultimately supporting more effective, system-level approaches to tackling diabetes in high-need populations.

Solicitation # USDA-FAS-10960-0700-109-26-0003
The Coordinating Agricultural Development & Innovation (CADI) initiative, funded through an interagency agreement between the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service and the State Department’s Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, aims to enhance U.S. agricultural trade competitiveness in Eastern Europe (non-E.U.), the South Caucasus, and Central Asia. The program supports a portfolio of projects focused on removing trade barriers, expanding market access, and promoting U.S. agricultural exports through technical assistance, training, and data-driven interventions. The awardee will conduct applied research to quantify the economic impact of these projects, with targets including adding over $622 million to the U.S. economy by eliminating trade impediments and generating an additional $312 million through direct support to exporters and partners, while also preventing over $50 billion in potential losses from livestock disease incursions and lost market access. The work will deliver annual and final economic impact reports, quarterly briefings to USDA/FAS leadership, and country-specific success stories detailing achievements in barrier removal and exporter support. Key economic outcomes are tracked at the country level, including specific targets for wheat, poultry, soybeans, distilled spirits, and livestock genetics in Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, with Ukraine accounting for the bulk of the projected economic activity through sustained export flows and market share gains. The contract requires the awardee to conduct original research and provide actionable recommendations aligned with the America First trade agenda, with performance spanning from November 1, 2026, through September 30, 2028, and potential for extension. The awardee must include four one-week international TDY trips to target regions and four domestic trips in their budget, while ensuring all personnel with access to non-public information complete a Public Trust (Moderate Risk)—T2 background investigation issued by USDA prior to beginning work. The solicitation is open to state cooperative institutions and universities, with proposals evaluated on technical expertise (30 points), experience managing USDA/FAS agricultural initiatives (30 points), research plan quality (25 points), budget reasonableness (10 points), and overall application quality (5 points), using a trade-off selection process rather than lowest-price technically acceptable. Applications must be submitted electronically through ezFedGrants by September 28, 2026, with no page limits, and require a Unique Entity ID, SF-424, SF-424A, budget narrative, and project plan.
