The Orange Effect Foundation Grants is a program from The Orange Effect Foundation (OEF) that funds speech therapy and communication technology for children and young adults with speech disorders. Founded in 2014, OEF empowers individuals up to age 21 to communicate effectively through grants for technology and speech therapy services. The program is a funder of last resort—all insurance coverage must be exhausted before a grant can be implemented. Due to high demand, households with income over $100,000 are generally not considered unless strong financial need is documented. Application deadlines are quarterly: February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1, with the next deadline November 1, 2026. Grant decisions are communicated within 40 days of each deadline.

NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award (K32) is a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented groups, to pursue research training in cancer-related fields. The K32 award supports fellows within 12 months prior to transitioning into, or within the first two years of, a postdoctoral position. The program, operated through NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), aims to enhance the pool of qualified diverse cancer researchers. Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.
