To address the problem, challenge, grants of up to $200,000 will be awarded to innovators in support of ideas aimed at improving pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care for women, making birth safer in the United States and potentially changing the trajectory of health for a lifetime. In addition, awardees will receive access to the global JLABS network and mentorship from experts at the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies.

JLABS has shown a particular interest in the following areas: consumer healthcare; community health approaches; health technologies; medical devices; patient care; pharmaceuticals; and cross-sector Initiatives. Priority will be given to science-based potential innovations backed by data.

The American Psychological Foundation welcomes applications for the Kenneth B. and Mamie P. Clark Fund, which is named in honor of the first and second African-Americans to receive PhDs from Columbia University. The Clarks’ doll experiments, in which they asked children to express their likes and dislikes about brown- and white-skinned dolls, led them to conclude that segregation in schools and society was psychologically damaging to children.

Through the fund, a single grant of up to $9,000 will be awarded in support of research and demonstration activities that promote the understanding of the relationship between self-identity and academic achievement, with a focus on children in grades K-8.

The grant award alternates every other year between an early-career psychologist and a graduate student and in 2020 will support a grad student.

To be eligible, familiarity with the Clarks’ work is essential.

See the American Psychological Foundation website for complete program guidelines, application instructions, and information about previous recipients.

In an effort to improve the financial wellness of the state and local public sector workforce, a new national initiative administered via the Center for State & Local Government Excellence, the International Public Management Association for Human Resources, and the National Association of State Treasurers Foundation, with the support of the Wells Fargo Foundation, is offering up to $1.4 million in grants to selected state and local governments to establish or improve on financial wellness programs for their employees.

The effort comes as state and local governments confront unprecedented budget shortfalls and employees face financial challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 health and economic crisis. Even before the crisis, state and local governments were seeking ways to strengthen employee financial literacy.

The purpose of the RFP is to solicit proposals from local government and state governmental entities that have the interest and capacity to develop and offer a financial wellness program to their employees. The partner organizations seek proposals that will reach employees in one or a combination of formats (e.g., conferences, courses, presentations, project-based materials, curriculum, financial coaching/counseling, online training, or through traditional and social media) and improve the awareness, knowledge, and financial wellness behavior of their employees. The target audience may be an entire jurisdiction or specific departments, and partnerships between entities are encouraged.

Grants funds awarded through the program can be used to expand programming already offered, to establish new programs and initiatives, to work with trusted third-party vendors to reach the public sector workforce, and/or to reach a wider audience through other quality programming.

Up to twenty-six non-renewable one-year grants will be awarded through the RFP. Grant amounts will be based on jurisdiction workforce size, with up to $100,000 available for state and local governments with 2,500 or more employees.

Proposals are encouraged from any local government and/or state governmental entity of any size and from any part of the United States, including Washington, D.C., and its territories. Collaborative partnerships amongst these entities are encouraged. Up to twenty-six grants will be offered for this one-year, non-renewable initiative.

Proposals are due by July 15, 2020, and grant recipients will be notified of their awards by September 14, 2020.

SLGE, IPMA-HR, and NASTF will be hosting a webinar on Thursday, May 28 at 3:00 p.m. ET. (Registration required.) Participants are invited to submit questions prior to the call at grants@NAST.org.

See the National Association of State Treasurers Foundation website for additional information.

This is intended to help train students how to identify misinformation and begin the process of slaying it. The entire world has a responsibility to share accurate information about COVID-19 with their networks and figure out ways to ensure mis-information disappears. Our lives may depend on it.

Students can choose to use this tool as an individual learner or facilitated by an educator. The module is particularly useful for civic engagement offices, global service-learning courses, and faculty looking to connect their virtual coursework to relevant and urgent social action. In addition to this tool, Amizade has also developed a series of virtual service-learning experiences, internships, and courses with our community partners around the world. You can learn about those here: https://amizade.org/programs/vsl/

To complement the COVID-19 mis-information module, we’ve also launched a live talk show in which Amizade community leaders from around the world share real-time updates and reflections on how COVID-19 is impacting their neighborhoods.
