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.

Coordinating Agricultural Development & Innovation (CADI) to enable America First Trade Wins in Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia

Solicitation # USDA-FAS-10960-0700-109-26-0003

The Coordinating Agricultural Development & Innovation (CADI) initiative, funded through an interagency agreement between the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service and the State Department’s Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, aims to bolster U.S. agricultural trade in Eastern Europe (non-E.U.), the South Caucasus, and Central Asia by eliminating trade barriers and strengthening market access for American farmers, ranchers, and exporters. The program targets a collective economic impact of over $622 million through the removal of trade barriers and an additional $312 million through direct support to exporters and partners, while also safeguarding the U.S. economy from over $50 billion in potential losses caused by livestock disease incursions and new trade restrictions. The awardee will conduct applied research to measure and enhance the effectiveness of CADI’s projects, providing actionable recommendations and county-level economic impact estimates to ensure measurable progress toward predetermined trade goals. Specific targets are set for each country, including Armenia and Georgia, where U.S. wheat exports are projected to generate nearly $186 million combined through technical assistance, alongside gains in poultry, aquaculture inputs, and food safety compliance. Kazakhstan is targeted for a $28 million boost in wheat market expansion through improved agricultural data, while Ukraine represents the largest opportunity, with over $500 million in economic activity tied to maintaining existing exports, preventing African Swine Fever from disrupting pork market access, unlocking livestock genetics and purebred cattle markets, and expanding wheat and oilseed opportunities. Uzbekistan focuses on growing market share for soybeans and distilled spirits through sustained trade promotion. The awardee must deliver annual and final economic impact reports, quarterly progress briefings to USDA/FAS leadership, and at least one detailed success story per country each year, documenting how trade barriers were removed or exporters were supported. All work is unclassified, requires Public Trust (Moderate Risk) background checks for personnel handling non-public information, and includes mandatory travel—four international and four domestic trips—within the two-year performance period from November 1, 2026, through September 30, 2028, with potential for extension.

The period of performance will be for twenty-four (24) months. The scope of work requires executing the legislative mandate as set forth in Title IV (BIOECONOMY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT) Section 10405 (External review of ethical, legal, environmental, safety, security, and societal issues) of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (Pub.L. 117-167). NSF intends to award this requirement as a sole source contract to NAS. The services sought are those necessary to meet the requirements stated in Section 10405 of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. Specifically, NSF will enter into an agreement with the National Academies whereby the Academies will conduct an evaluation of ethical, legal, environmental, safety, security, and other appropriate societal issues related to engineering biology research and development, and to make recommendations on research needs and best means for incorporating consideration of these issues in the development and conduct of research. A Request for Information has not been published via SAM.gov as the legislative mandate precludes such action. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 41 U.S.C. 3304(a) (1), Use of Noncompetitive procedures, as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 -- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541720, with the size standard of $28M.
