A-T Children's Project

Research Grant

$75,000
2 years
Research We Support

The A-T Children’s Project supports promising research with sound scientific rationale. No idea is too novel for us to consider, as long as it has clear relevance for people with ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) and the potential to lead to a therapy. We welcome applications from academia and industry scientists, small biotechnology and large pharmaceutical companies, and even from venture capital firms that are incubating new technologies which may hold promise for A-T. Our portfolio spans basic, translational and clinical research.

Open to Ideas

We are open to creative ideas conceived by investigators. From time to time, we also encourage projects that address a specific gap in scientific understanding, patient need or therapeutic development. In addition, we sometimes provide add-on, supplemental funding if a grant we already awarded shows significant progress and continued potential.

Our grants come with more than money. We frequently guide researchers to research tools such as A-T animal models, cell-based assays, patient biospecimens and clinical datasets. We also help grant recipients connect with advisors who have been in the A-T field for a long time and with collaborators whose work may have synergies. A-T researchers may also attend virtual and in-person meetings that we organize.

Focused Ultrasound Foundation

Pre-Clinical Awards

$100,000
1 year

The Foundation strives to create knowledge by funding research to accelerate the field of focused ultrasound toward the clinic and to improve patient care. Our funding supports investigators in academia and medical research disciplines around the globe and projects across various stages of research. 


Our Pre-Clinical Awards Program support investigator-initiated research projects in the form of one-year awards totaling approximately $100,000, paid out in three or more installments tied to progress reports throughout the term of the project. This program typically does not fund large capital purchases, overhead or institutional expenses, and the development of new focused ultrasound equipment. Exceptions to these guiding principles may be considered if the project addresses a gating factor in the near-term development of a reimbursable clinical application. Robust scientific design is prioritized over positive results (high failure risk is acceptable), and translational projects are preferred.

This research funding mechanism is driven by a two-step application submitted online by the investigator. A one-page Research Abstract (step 1) must be submitted first. The Foundation will invite full Research Proposals (step 2) from authors of approved Research Abstracts. The Research Proposals are then assigned to a program track (see below for more information) and sent for external peer-review. Funding decisions (fund, revise, or reject) are returned to the applicant approximately three months after their application is submitted. In general, investigators from whom revisions are requested will have only one opportunity to address reviewer comments before a final decision (fund or reject) is made. Please bear in mind that the review timelines depend on the program track assigned. Tracks include: General Awards Program, Brain Program, Cancer Immunotherapy Program, Pediatrics Program, Veterinary Program, Industry Award Program, Education Program

National Institute of Aging (NIA)

GEMSSTAR Grant

$50,000
2 years

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) offers a Grant for Early Medical/Surgical Specialists' Transition to Aging Research (GEMSSTAR). The goal of the two-year NIA GEMSSTAR is to provide support for early career physician-investigators trained in medical or surgical specialties and early career dentist-scientists to launch careers as future leaders in aging- or geriatric-focused research.

Applying to the NIA’s GEMSSTAR program involves submission of an application to the NIA for a small research project using the R03 mechanism. Physician investigators interested in GEMSSTAR are highly encouraged to submit a Professional Development Plan (PDP) along with their application. This is where FAER comes in. 

FAER GEMSSTAR

While the inclusion of a PDP is highly encouraged when submitting a GEMSSTAR application to the NIA using the R03 mechanism, funding for the PDP is not covered by the R03 award. Instead, funding for the PDP is most often supported by a research foundation related to the specialty of the applicant. The FAER GEMSSTAR Grant supports anesthesiology-focused NIA GEMSSTARs by supplementing the research project funding provided by the R03 with concurrent funding for the associated PDP. The PDP supports the primary investigator by funding activities to support their education in training and techniques as a physician-investigator.

Research Areas: All research topics related to aging and funded by the National Institute of Aging (NIA)

We may provide financial and/or product support to independent third-party organizations who organize educational, scientific, or policymaking programs that further medical and scientific knowledge. We believe that such programs are critical to advancements in the medical community, and we support a wide range of programs at the local, regional and national level.

We respect the Standards for Commercial Support of Continuing Medical Education as published by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and as such will not seek to control the content or management of third-party programs (for example, selection of topics, faculty, and attendees). Also, our support of a program will not depend on the program sponsor's selection of particular topics, faculty or attendees.

Our policies, as well as industry standards embodied in the AdvaMed Code of Ethics on Interactions with Health Care Professionals, limit our ability to pay for certain educational conference costs. We do not directly pay for conference costs such as facilities, faculty honoraria and travel expenses – all support is provided to the conference provider to offset overall conference expenses. We do not subsidize the costs of travel, lodging or tuition for conference attendees. Medical students, fellows and other health care providers in training may periodically be eligible to receive scholarship funds to cover tuition and reasonable travel expenses to attend qualified educational conferences.

We may provide grants to support the following types of educational programs:

  • Institutional, national, regional or local continuing medical education conferences and professional meetings
  • "Grand rounds" presentations and patient group (Angio Club, Patient Advocacy) meetings

Causal Research on Community Safety and the Criminal Justice System

4 years

Arnold Ventures (AV) is a nonpartisan philanthropy whose core mission is to invest in evidence-based solutions that maximize opportunity and minimize injustice. AV focuses on correcting system failures in the United States through evidence-based solutions.

AVs’ Criminal Justice Initiative seeks to generate new evidence to inform policies that will make communities safer and make the criminal justice system more fair and effective. This Request for Proposals (RFP) from the Criminal Justice Initiative (CJI) seeks letters of interest to conduct causal research projects of policies, practices, and interventions related to community safety and the criminal justice system.

To be eligible to submit through this funding opportunity, research projects must adhere to the following criteria:

• Propose a strong causal research design, which can reliably and validly isolate the treatment effect of a policy, practice, or intervention. Examples of such research designs include difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, instrumental variable, and randomization.

• The policy, practice, or intervention being tested is in the United States.

• Outcomes include measures of real-world behaviors (such as crime rates or criminal justice involvement), as opposed to measures collected in a controlled lab setting or measures of perceptions.

Strengthening Evidence: Support for RCTs to Evaluate Social Programs and Policies

The Evidence and Evaluation team aims to identify, evaluate, and scale evidence-based solutions targeting the nation’s most pressing social problems. One of the strongest tools in the evidence-building toolkit is the randomized controlled trial (RCT). While not applicable to all policy and program contexts, RCTs are often the strongest choice for evaluating social programs because they fairly compare results between a treatment group and a control group, making it clear whether the program or policy truly works. This strong evidence can be important for informing decision-makers and stakeholders to support effective programs.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) aims to build the body of proven, effective policies, programs, and interventions by funding researchers to conduct rigorous RCTs across the spectrum of social policy.

(If you are thinking about other causal designs, you should check out our other RFP focused on quasi-experimental designs and if you are focused on criminal justice outcomes see a separate RFP.)

Path to a Cure-Pioneer Award

Academic programs supported through the Path to a Cure: Pioneer Award will focus on two core strategies to address the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis: Restoring CFTR protein.


Successfully restoring CFTR protein production when none is present would enable chloride transport in and out cells, increasing fluid at the cell surface, and reducing or thinning the thick, sticky mucus that affects the lungs and other organs in people with CF. Areas of interest include approaches that target premature termination codons (PTC) mutations and other rare mutations — including transfer RNA therapy, readthrough agents, nonsense-mediated decay inhibitors, and short nucleotide therapies — in addition to mutation-agnostic treatments that could help all people with CF, such as messenger RNA therapy.

Open Philanthropy Course Development Grants

$50,000

This program aims to provide grant support to academics for the development of new university courses (including online courses). At present, we are looking to fund the development of courses on a range of topics that are relevant to certain areas of Open Philanthropy’s grantmaking that form part of our work to reduce global catastrophic risks (potential risks from advanced AI, biosecurity and pandemic preparedness, other global catastrophic risks), or to issues that are of cross-cutting relevance to our work. We are primarily looking to fund the development of new courses, but we are also accepting proposals from applicants who are looking for funding to turn courses they have already taught in an in-person setting into freely-available online courses.

1. Possible Topics

We are interested in funding the development of courses on the following topics:

  • Technical work on AI alignment, i.e. the problem of creating AI systems that will reliably do what their designers want them to do even when AI systems become much more capable than their designers across a broad range of tasks. We would be interested in funding the development of courses that discuss the nature of AI alignment risk(s) (especially potential existential risks), explore relevant areas of technical AI research (see here for a non-exhaustive list of examples), and examine how this work bears on the problem.
  • Other topics relevant to understanding the long-run impacts of transformative developments in AI. For example, we would be interested in funding the development of courses on the likely effects of human-level or near-human-level AI on economic growth (as discussed e.g. in this paper).
  • Global catastrophic biological risks. We are concerned that as biotechnology progresses, it will become easier to develop biological agents with even more destructive potential than COVID-19, to the extent that they could threaten humanity’s long-term future. We are interested in funding the development of courses that focus to a substantial degree on averting these global catastrophic biological risks, either via exploring potential technical countermeasures or governance/policy solutions.

Funding for work that builds capacity to address risks from transformative AI

Undefined

We think it’s possible that the coming decades will see “transformative” progress in artificial intelligence, i.e., progress that leads to changes in human civilization at least as large as those brought on by the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. It is currently unclear to us whether these changes will go well or poorly, and we think that people today can do meaningful work to increase the likelihood of positive outcomes.

To that end, we’re interested in funding projects that:

  • Help new talent get into work focused on addressing risks from transformative AI.
  • Including people from academic or professional fields outside computer science or machine learning.
  • Support existing talent in this field (e.g. via events that help build professional networks).
  • Contribute to the discourse about transformative AI and its possible effects, positive and negative.

This is a wide-ranging call for applications, seeking to fund programs and events in a variety of areas of interest to Open Philanthropy — including effective altruism, global catastrophic risks, biosecurity, AI for epistemics, forecasting, and other areas. In general, if the topic of your program or event falls within one of our GCR focus areas, or if it’s similar to work we’ve funded in the past in our GCR focus areas, it may be a good fit for this program. If you’re unsure about whether to submit your application, we’d encourage you to err on the side of doing so. 

By “programs and events” we mean scholarship or fellowship programs, internships, residencies, visitor programs, courses[1], seminars, conferences, workshops, retreats, etc., including both in-person and online activities. We’re open to funding programs or events aimed at individuals at any career stage, and with a wide range of potential purposes, including teaching new skills, providing new career opportunities, offering mentorship, or facilitating networking.

Examples of programs and events of this type we’ve funded before include:

  • Condor Camp, a summer program for Brazilian students interested in existential risk work.
  • The Future of Humanity Institute’s Research Scholars Program supporting early-career researchers in global catastrophic risk.
  • Effective Altruism Global, a series of conferences for individuals interested in effective altruism.

Hillman Emergent Innovation: Serious Illness and End of Life Program

$50,000
1.5 years

In partnership with The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, the foundation invites applications for the Hillman Emergent Innovation: Serious Illness and End of Life (HSEI) program, which provides grants to accelerate the development of bold, nursing-driven interventions that improve the health and health care of marginalized populations, including Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), the economically disadvantaged, LGBTQ+ people, people experiencing homelessness, rural populations, immigrant and refugee populations, and other groups that encounter obstacles to accessing quality healthcare services.

The HSEI program seeks proposals for innovative, early-stage nursing-driven interventions that challenge conventional strategies for delivering and improving care to marginalized populations in the United States, demonstrate potential as a best-in-class intervention, narrow gaps in health equity, and show potential for scalability.

Additional priority consideration will be given to proposals that include one or more of the following: build trust and credibility in programs or systems of care; engage patients, families, caregivers, and/or community organizations; foster inter-professional or multidisciplinary collaboration; encourage institutional and community partnerships; provide care in non-hospital settings; and establish measurable goals and outcomes.

Emily Hall Tremaine’s artistic vision helped her to collect works from artists who at the time were just starting to define contemporary art. Together, the Tremaines selected works that would influence successive generations of artists and art collectors. In the words of Robert Rosenblum, the collection in its entirety invoked "new constellations of meaning and importance.” It broke with tradition and convention yet conveyed a sense of spirituality and contemplation. Its complexity offered many layers of meaning and insight to the viewer. For these reasons, the Exhibition Award encourages curators to challenge conventional thought through the exploration of critical ideas.

Clinical Fellowship Awards

$102,000
2 years

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Physician Training & Career Development Programs (PTPs) aim to attract, develop, and retain exceptional clinicians and investigators into cystic fibrosis to address the evolving needs of the CF community. The PTPs ensure that there is a physician workforce that meets the healthcare and research needs of the CF community by requesting applications for the Clinical Fellowship Awards (divided into Education and Training Awards and Research Awards).


This mechanism replaces (and is structured nearly identical to) the First-and-Second-Year Fellowships and is intended for fellows who are either early in their subspecialty training (e.g., rising first or second year fellows) OR later in training and strongly committed to a career in care for people with CF but not in a position to submit a competitive research grant (e.g., third year fellows who are pursuing a career in medical education).

The intent of this program is to encourage specialized training in the early career development stage, provide exposure to CF research and patient care, and prepare well-qualified candidates for careers related to CF. Applications are welcome from residents and early stage fellows who have limited experience or exposure to CF, but are interested in learning more and gaining more exposure over the first few years of fellowship; or from later stage fellows who have a demonstrated commitment to CF care, but do not intend to pursue an academic research career.

Applications can be submitted for either one fellowship year or two fellowship years. The maximum award amount is $67,000 per year. This includes $65,000 for salary and benefits and $2,000 for travel and/or registration fees to attend the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC). Indirect costs are not allowed.

The American Fibromyalgia Syndrome Association Grant


$85,000
2 years

Proposals submitted for review should be relevant to AFSA's research priorities. By investigating the areas described below, AFSA believes that better diagnostic tools and treatments will be made available to patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and its overlapping conditions.

In the past, AFSA’s focus has been on pain mechanisms and treatment. While advances have been achieved in these areas, little progress has been made toward characterizing the sleep disturbances in FMS patients. This is why AFSA is putting aside $300,000 for studies pertaining to sleep. The purpose of AFSA’s sleep research initiative is to gain a better understanding of the relationship between the neurobiology of sleep in people with FMS and the various symptoms of this condition.

In addition to sleep, AFSA strongly encourages investigators to submit proposals that address the “other important priorities” listed in the second section. AFSA currently has $300,000 available to fund grants up to $50,000 for each proposal that addresses these other priorities. Depending upon AFSA’s fund-raising success, additional funds may be available to study these other areas of priority.

Investigator qualifications, guidelines for LOIs and full grant applications (submitted after a favorable review of your LOI), and conditions of award are explained on AFSA’s website at www.afsafund.org. If you reside outside the United States, AFSA still welcomes your LOI as long as you are fluent in English.

Keep in mind, AFSA does not fund studies related to behavioral, psychosocial, self-help, or movement therapies. If you are assessing a medication that is commonly prescribed for patients, then your project should provide new insights about the drug’s mechanism of action.

Knowledge for Freedom-March

$300,000
3 years

The Knowledge for Freedom initiative supports programs that invite underserved high school students to college to study humanity’s deepest questions about leading lives of purpose and civic responsibility. Grants of varying amounts, ranging from $100,000-$300,000 over a 36-month period, will be made to each funded project participating in this initiative. The size of the grant will be based on the scope of the project. Colleges and universities interested in launching Knowledge for Freedom programs are encouraged to apply for planning grants, ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 over a 6-12 month period.


The Knowledge for Freedom initiative is designed to be adaptable enough to reflect the assets and needs of each institution and coherent enough to create a community of shared practice among programs across the nation. All Knowledge for Freedom programs reflect certain common features: 

  • All programs bring low-income high school students onto a college campus for an intensive summer seminar in the humanities taught by college faculty and supported by undergraduate teaching assistants.
  • All syllabi include transformative texts in the humanities connected by ideas or questions about the nature of government, freedom, and democracy. We define transformative texts as works—whether ancient or recent—that have transformed the world and that continue to transform individual lives by the power of their ideas and expression.
  • During the following academic year, all programs offer formalized assistance with college applications and direct students in a civic engagement or public service project.

Education for American Civic Life-March

$300,000
3 years

The Education for American Civic Life initiative supports efforts to prepare students to become informed and engaged participants in the civic life of their local and national communities. Grants of varying amounts, ranging from $100,000-$300,000 over a 24-36 month period, will be made to each funded project participating in this initiative. The size of the grant will be based on the scope of the project. We expect this grant program will remain open for approximately three to five years.


The Education for American Civic Life Initiative is focused on funding in two particular areas: (1) anchoring significant questions in democratic thought in local history and community and (2) strengthening preparation for public service.

  • Anchor Significant Civic Questions of Democracy in Local History
  • Projects are anchored by a significant question concerning the past and present challenges of democracy in the community in which the college or university is located—whether this is a metropolitan center such as Newark, New Jersey, with a long history of successive migrations into and out of the city, or rural Virginia, site of a major Civil War campaign and the struggle over segregation and civil rights. Some of our partner institutions design first-year core curricula while others work within divisions such as an honors college or a pre-professional program. In both cases, faculty design a series of courses to ensure that students are prepared to be informed and engaged civic participants in their local and national communities. These programs explicitly help students grasp the lived experience—past and present—of their neighbors outside the campus gates as a valuable aspect of a civic education that builds on their education in areas like governance, history, literature, and law.

Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts-March

The Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts initiative is jointly sponsored by the Teagle Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations to support statewide, regional, or consortial academic partnerships between public two-year and private four-year colleges to facilitate transfer and completion of the baccalaureate in the liberal arts.


We welcome proposals from regional and statewide consortia or associations of independent colleges working in partnership with community colleges and other appropriate bodies (e.g., state councils for transfer) for the Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts initiative. Implementation grants in the range of $250,000-$350,000 over 24-36 months will be considered under this initiative. Planning grants in the range of $25,000 over 6-12 months are strongly encouraged to bring together constituents from the community college and independent college sectors and to lay the groundwork for collaborative development of statewide, regional, or consortial frameworks to promote transfer into liberal arts baccalaureate programs at independent colleges. The size of grant awards will be based on the number of institutions involved and the scope of the project.

  • A faculty-led and faculty-owned initiative
  • The Teagle Foundation and Arthur Vining Davis Foundations approach the challenges of improving teaching and learning with the conviction that faculty must lead the way. Although the support of senior leadership and trustees is essential, it is the faculty’s responsibility to ensure that the curriculum is thoughtfully designed and well delivered to meet the needs of students, including transfer students. Accustomed to seeing themselves as a community of scholars, faculty members are encouraged by way of this initiative to view themselves also as a community of teachers who seek a better understanding of how reshaping the curriculum influences learning and success whether students matriculate directly from high school or transfer in as community college students . We encourage faculty to work together across departments and across sectors on a shared endeavor to promote transfer pathways for community college students aspiring to study the liberal arts.
  • A consortial approach that takes advantage of existing state transfer policy

Tree Research and Education Endowment Fund (TREE Fund) and Utility Arborist Association (UAA) established the Utility Arborist Research Fund (UARF) in 2010 to finance work with real importance and benefit to utility tree care professionals. In 2017, the UARF endowment reached its $1.0 million activation goal, and the first grant under this program was awarded in 2018. TREE Fund manages the UARF endowment and administers all research grants awarded, while UAA’s Research Committee advises TREE Fund with respect to research priorities. Given the immense scope of annual utility arboriculture work on a global basis, if UARF-funded research can generate even a 1.0% reduction in tree-related outages, customer complaints, vegetation management complexity or emergency tree work, the financial, public relations, and worker safety returns on investment will be immense.

2024 FUNDING LEVELS AND PRIORITIES

A total of $50,000 is available for award in 2024; the minimum award considered will be $10,000, the maximum $50,000, so that one to five grants may be awarded, subject to receipt of compliant applications. Work funded by UARF is expected to be completed within one to three years of award.

For 2024, TREE Fund and UAA are seeking UARF proposals guided by the prioritized summary of research topics polled from our wider membership, prioritized as follows, with equal consideration given to these topics:

  • Employee, Contractor and Public Safety (including training relevance and quality, and training frequency);

The good fortune to travel to Connecticut and earn an education was a symbolic gateway to a brighter future for Sidney. Two years into his tenure at Yale, Sidney had a schizophrenic episode and was forced to drop out of the university.The Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Foundation provides grants that afford individuals living with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder the same opportunity at an education that Sidney received. We are also passionate about fostering additional financial and academic resources that, if in existence at the time, would have greatly benefited Sidney during his time in school. From direct scholarships to the sponsorship of academic programs for those resuming their education after experiencing mental health issues, The Sidney R. Baer Jr. Foundation views education as a priceless resource for the mentally ill.

LCRF Minority Career Development Award (CDA) in Lung Cancer

$150,000
2 years

National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding is considered a prerequisite for establishing independence, academic promotion, recognition as an expert, serving on grant review panels, and leadership roles. Minority applicants are less likely to receive grants, to have the R phases of K01 or K99 awards activated, need more submissions to obtain funding, and often will not resubmit proposals. As minority applicants must overcome systemic and structural barriers due to race, ethnicity, country of origin, socioeconomic status, and/or language, many leave academia which further exacerbates the lack of diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and medical fields. To provide protected time and mentoring to these trainees, we continue to offer the LCRF Minority Career Development Award (CDA) for Lung Cancer for minority postdoctoral/clinical fellows and assistant professors within 10 years of completing their MD and/or PhD degrees to submit proposals.

We encourage applications on a wide variety of topics including but not limited to the following:

  • Lung cancer biology
  • Risk reduction and screening for early detection
  • Identification of new biomarkers
  • Development of more effective and less toxic therapies including but not limited to targeted and immune-therapies

2024 Mental Well-being Funding Priorities

Florida Blue Foundation’s overall goal for both priorities is to move families, children, individuals, and communities from having mental health issues to living healthy and well.

Priority 1: Addressing youth mental health challenges.

Services to address mental/behavior health for children, teens, and their parents/caregivers that are struggling to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges brought on in recent years by social media and the pandemic. Priority 2: Increase the pipeline of mental health professionals. As people continue to seek mental health services, mental health professionals are experiencing an increase in demand. Yet the pool of waiting professionals is low. This is due, in part, to retirements and not enough newer professionals entering into this field.


When completing the on-line application, please keep in mind that the Florida Blue Foundation is looking for nonprofit charitable organizations to propose proven services that will be implemented to serve primarily underserved, underinsured, and low-income individuals in Florida and to reach more individuals in rural communities. Priority will be given to organizations that provide services in the following ZIP codes: 32206, 32805, 33612/33613, 33142, and 33311 plus Florida’s rural counties –- reference the Florida Department of Health map of rural counties provided in the Details section of the application portal and the Important Information and Attachments sections of the application (with the Program Milestone Document information).

This year’s eligible projects will help incentivize, build the case for, and provide the means necessary to shift the United States food system away from factory farming to practices that benefit animals, farmers and all those impacted by our current food system.

Currently more than 9.5 billion chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows, and other land animals are slaughtered every year for food in the United States. The vast majority of these animals are raised on “factory farms,” where they are confined in huge numbers in barren, industrial settings. These facilities are not just inhumane to animals, they threaten the livelihoods of farmers, are environmentally unsound, and jeopardize public wellbeing. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ® (ASPCA ®) is calling for increased transparency in animal agriculture, an end to the cruelest factory farming practices, and adequate funding for a more humane food system. Learn more about our work.

All projects should include a public dissemination component to inform and educate about the project impact. This could be in written form (such as policy reports, whitepapers or articles), digital content (social media or campaign websites) or audio/visual (such as videos, photos, webinars, podcasts or infographics).

CS Fund Just Transitions

Undefined

CS Fund is launching a new funding program on Just Transitions to advance social and ecological justice for a future grounded in justice, joy, belonging, and liberation for all beings. We are inspired by movement leaders in environmental justice, worker justice, climate justice, Indigenous Sovereignty, Black Liberation and more in their collective framing of Just Transition: “Transition is inevitable. Justice is not.” After hundreds of conversations with movement leaders, frontline organizations, and other funding allies around the globe, the message that CS Fund repeatedly received regarding how we can support work toward Just Transitions is to resource the building of translocal and transnational connective tissue and relationship between and across movement sectors and cultures.


Grants will be made across two categories: core and experimental. Core grantees will be those

that are recognized as being established by and core to the communities and fields in which

they work. These grants will help scale and spread their work. Experimental grants will support

work in new directions and approaches. These grants could support emerging organizations or

PCF Young Investigator Awards

$225,000
3 years

PCF Young Investigator Awards will be three (3) years in duration and will provide $75,000 per year. The award funds may be used innovatively and flexibly to advance the career and research efforts of the awardee. This for example, includes funding “protected time” or direct costs for laboratory science. This award does not support indirect costs such as institutional overhead. Every PCF Young Investigator is required to be under the direct supervision of 1-3 mentors. Young Investigator awardees are required to attend the Annual PCF Scientific Retreat and Young Investigator Day, typically held in October, throughout the duration of their award.

PCF seeks applications from the global biomedical research community. Applicants traditionally under-represented in science and medicine are highly encouraged.  We seek applications from early-career basic scientists, medical oncologists, pathologists, urologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, public health experts, bioinformaticians, bioengineers, or professionals from any other field that could contribute to the end of prostate cancer. Applicants may be working in basic, translational, computational or clinical research and need not be trained specifically in prostate cancer research to be highly competitive. However, successful applicants should be working in an academic research environment capable of supporting transformational prostate cancer research. Access to and real-time interaction with a clinical environment and translational prostate cancer physician-scientists is highly desired.

Research proposals addressing disparities in care experienced by patients with prostate cancer may focus on implementation research in various populations (e.g. urban vs rural, racial, geographic or financial) or in biological drivers of care and outcome disparities that could potentially be addressed through changes in policy, advocacy or education. Applicants are encouraged to solicit and integrate advice from patients, patient support groups or advocates. Letters of support demonstrating such relationships are recommended.

Career Development Award

$150,000
2 years

To provide young surgeons with the support necessary for the initiation and development of an academic career in colorectal surgery. The CDA focuses on career development and mentorship of the individual rather than solely on the research proposal. The award is intended for the academic investigator demonstrating significant creativity in research relevant to the pathophysiology or management of diseases of the colon, rectum, anus or small bowel.

Early
  • The Career Development Award (CDA) is intended for early career investigators. Applicants should be full-time faculty members, preferably at the assistant professor level, in a United States or Canadian government, public, or private, not-for-profit medical institution. Applicants must be within 5 years of starting their first faculty position on the date the grant is submitted (e.g., start date as faculty needs to be 5 years before day the grant is due to the Research Foundation of the ASCRS). 
  • Applicants are welcome to resubmit a new or revised application within five years of starting their first faculty position OR within 12 months of the first submission if their initial submission was unsuccessful.
  • Extensions up to two years (increasing eligibility period to 7 years total) will be considered if personal or family situations such as parental leave, childcare, elder care, medical conditions, or a disability delay readiness for applying for CDA. To be considered for accommodation, we ask the applicant to write to the Research Foundation of the ASCRS to discuss the individual situation before applying. The requests will be reviewed by the Research Committee Chair and Research Foundation President.
  • ASCRS members only.
  • Grant can support up to 10% of the of the NIH Cap salary ($212,100, Jan. 1 - Sept. 30, 2023). Applications should also include a letter of support from the department of surgery chair confirming at least 25% non-clinical time will be committed to the applicant.
  • Applicant must not currently have or have previously received a career development award from another external funding source. If the applicant receives the Career Development Award from the Research Foundation of the ASCRS and is subsequently awarded another career development award from another external funding source with overlapping funding period, the applicant must return the residual funds to the Research Foundation of the ASCRS, or decline the funding from another source. The exception is a career development award from the NIH K-series award or funding from the applicants own institution.

J. M. Kaplan Fund (Furthermore)

Furthermore Foundation Grant (March)


$15,000
1 year

Furthermore grants assist nonfiction books having to do with art, architecture, and design; cultural history, the city, and related public issues; and conservation and preservation. We look for work that appeals to an informed general audience, gives evidence of high standards in editing, design, and production, and promises a reasonable shelf life.

The grants, ranging roughly from $1,500 to a maximum of $15,000, are awarded twice annually with application deadlines of March 1 and September 1. Funds apply to such specific publication components as writing, research, editing, indexing, design, illustration, photography, and printing and binding.

Book projects to which a university press, nonprofit or trade publisher is already committed and for which there is a feasible distribution plan are usually preferred. Recipients of Furthermore grants are located throughout the U.S. and abroad but mainly in New York City and New York State and its Hudson Valley.

Grant applicants must be 501(c)3 organizations; applications from individuals cannot be accepted. They have included civic and academic institutions, museums, independent and university presses, and professional societies. While grant recipients must have 501(c)3 status, the book projects assisted by Furthermore sometimes result in trade publication.

The goal is to fund applicants who will go on to be independent investigators. The Fund will make up to 32 awards total with two funding cycles (16 awards each).

Research Interests

The Fund is open to a wide variety of research topics. We do not focus on a particular ​disease, but all our funded projects deal directly with children's health.

In the Early Career Award Program, the Fund is particularly interested in applicants that show great potential to impact that field of children's health through medical research. Both an applicant's aptitude and inclination toward research are considered. The quality of the mentor and the mentoring relationship are also considered to be important predictors of success.

Early
Post-Doc

Those eligible to apply include:

1. Physicians who are in a residency/fellowship training program, or who completed that program no more than one year before the date of submission of the Concept Paper.

2. Post-doctoral researchers who received the doctoral level degree no more than three years prior to the date of submission of the Concept Paper.

Extensions may be granted for parental, family, or medical leave. Please contact the fund to discuss your specific case.

While the award is open to all who are eligible, we especially hope to encourage applications from those in the United States who are part of underrepresented minority groups in research. More information can be found at https://www.thrasherresearch.org/diversity

Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program (AMFDP)

$420,000
4 years

RWJF has been investing in leaders to create change since our inception in 1972. Most recently, we identified leadership as a core strategic approach to addressing one of the biggest barriers to health in America: structural racism. The sheer scale and complexity of the systems change needed to dismantle structural racism requires RWJF to take bold, creative steps to support leaders who are committed to addressing structural racism. Our leadership programs will equip leaders, particularly those in positions of power, with the skills and support needed to lead in transformative and equitable ways.

The Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program (AMFDP) offers four-year postdoctoral research awards to faculty from historically marginalized backgrounds who can achieve senior rank in academic medicine, dentistry, or nursing. We seek leaders whose background, identity, or lived experiences have positioned them to contribute to the program’s goals.

This program supports the development of faculty to enhance their influence as leaders, researchers, and advisors in supporting a Culture of Health, in which everyone has the chance to live the healthiest life possible. AMFDP applicants should be committed to: developing careers and achieving senior rank in academic medicine, dentistry, or nursing; fostering the development of succeeding classes of physicians, dentists, and nurses from historically marginalized backgrounds; and improving the health of underserved populations or working toward understanding and eliminating health disparities.

Post-Doc

To be eligible for this award, applicants must be physicians, dentists, or nurses who:

  • are from historically marginalized backgrounds;
  • are U.S. citizens or permanent residents at the time of application, or individuals granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at the time of application (changes in federal policy or law may necessitate that we consider adjustments in eligibility and grant terms);
  • are completing or have completed their formal clinical training (we will give preference to those who have recently completed their formal clinical training or—in the case of nurses—their research doctorate);
  • are not related by blood or marriage to any Officer or Trustee of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, nor are a descendant of its founder, Robert Wood Johnson.

Research Grants -Program

$1,500,000
3 years

HFSP Research Grants support innovative basic research into fundamental biological problems with emphasis placed on novel and interdisciplinary approaches that involve scientific exchanges across national and disciplinary boundaries (see guidelines).

Participation of scientists from disciplines outside the traditional life sciences such as biophysics, chemistry, computational biology, computer science, engineering, mathematics, nanoscience or physics is recommended because such collaborations have opened up new approaches for understanding the complex structures and regulatory networks that characterize living organisms, their evolution and interactions.

Research grants are provided for teams of scientists from different countries who wish to combine their expertise in innovative approaches to questions that could not be answered by individual laboratories. Preliminary results are not required and applicants are expected to develop new lines of research through the research collaboration.

It is understood that such research inherently contains risks and HFSP expects that teams of applicants address the risks and outline mitigation strategies for their research in case of failure and how they intend to achieve their goals.

Awarded to teams of independent researchers at any stage of their careers. The research team is expected to develop new lines of research through the collaboration. Applications including independent investigators early in their careers are encouraged.

Health Equity Research Grant

$200,000
2 years

Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance is requesting Letters of Intent (LOI) for the 2025 Health Equity Research Grant.

Despite major advances in ovarian cancer research over the past 20 years, addressing health disparities is an area in which significant progress has yet to be made. OCRA believes that every ovarian cancer patient should have the opportunity to attain the best possible care and treatment outcomes, and that their socioeconomic status, geographic location, or racial or ethnic background should not impact the likelihood of reaching those goals.

The objective of this grantmaking program is to support research projects that promote equity, inclusivity, and evidence-based approaches to overcome the barriers faced by marginalized communities with a focus on ovarian cancers and/or related gynecologic cancers. For the purposes of this grant, marginalized communities are defined as groups that have historically struggled with equal access to care due to gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, disability status, and language barriers. We encourage researchers that are from groups underrepresented in sciences to apply, but this is not a requirement of the grant.

Research Projects may encompass a wide range of research areas, including but not limited to:

• Identifying and addressing social, cultural, and economic factors that contribute to health disparities in ovarian cancer

• Improving access to quality care, diagnostic tools, and treatment options for underserved communities affected by ovarian cancer

Kenneth Rainin Foundation

The Early Career Catalyst Award

$500,000
5 years

The Kenneth Rainin Foundation invites Letters of Inquiry for the Early Career Catalyst Award from March 1 through March 29, 2024. The Foundation is making these one-time awards, totaling $1 million, to commemorate our 15th anniversary of formal grantmaking. The Early Career Catalyst Award will provide $500,000 each to support the work of two early career investigators, in any field, whose research has the potential to improve the lives of people living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). One grant will support a basic research project, and the other grant will support a translational/therapeutic research project.


Ensuring a robust pipeline of scientists is essential to finding a cure for IBD. Early career researchers bring new lines of thinking and introduce technologies and directions that are invigorating the field and enhancing quality of life for IBD patients. Building their capacity and programs is beneficial and essential to scientific discoveries and innovations.

“The Rainin Foundation funds novel ideas across a wide range of research areas and fields that could lead to groundbreaking advancements in preventing and treating IBD. Marking our 15th anniversary by supporting early career researchers and broadening research perspectives is an investment in finding a cure for IBD,” said Dr. Laura Wilson, Director of Health Strategy & Ventures.

Early
  • Applicant must be an Assistant Professor or equivalent. If an applicant is not currently a faculty member but will be by October 1, 2024, they will need to include a letter from the institution to confirm the institution’s commitment to the applicant and the applicant’s official start date.
  • Applicant must be an independent researcher, with a doctoral degree and no more than five years from the time of appointment to an independent faculty position, including institutional support of at least $750,000 and lab space. If an applicant has had time off for family or personal reasons, this time will not count toward the five years.
  • We encourage investigators from underrepresented groups in science to apply.
  • Researchers from any scientific discipline worldwide are eligible for funding.

Fibrosis in IBD Research Initiative

$900,000
1.5 years

Half of all Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients will develop disease complications, one which is development of fibrotic strictures (fibrostenosis), leading to GI tract obstruction and severe clinical consequences. Fibrostenosis is also a serious problem for ulcerative colitis (UC) with approximately 8% incidence over the lifetime. Currently there is no clinical solution for preventing or treating fibrostenosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), except for surgical intervention. Therefore, there is a great unmet need to understand fibrotic complications in IBD and how to prevent and treat them.


The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation in collaboration with Takeda seeks to fund studies focused on investigating the biological mechanisms leading to, and protecting from, fibrosis in IBD. These studies should be built upon clinical observations and/or published evidence in human IBD. Particular interest will be on proposals that address one or more of the following areas:

  • Pathophysiology of fibrosis and patient segmentation/endotyping based on multi-omics analysis
  • Datasets and biosamples derived from demographically and ethnically diverse cohorts are also preferred.
  • Evaluation of therapeutic potential of modulating specific fibrotic pathways

Alice Award (Furthermore)

$25,000

In 2013, Joan K. Davidson, president of Furthermore, established the Alice award to honor her mother, Alice Manheim Kaplan. Alice loved and collected the illustrated book as a work of art in itself and an essential document of a civilized society.

The $25,000 Alice award is given annually to a richly illustrated book that makes a valuable contribution to its field and demonstrates high standards of production. Books selected by the award jury for the Alice Short List each receive $5,000.

The award is intended to buttress the kind of slow reading movement that recognizes and cherishes the lasting values of the well-made illustrated book, and the special sense of intimacy it affords. Fields considered include the fine arts and the natural and built environments and related public issues.

The organization submitting the book must be a 501(c)3 and have acted as a partner in the book’s production. Organizations may submit up to two books annually. Books published in the calendar year prior and up to the submission deadline will be considered.

Submission opens 1 January and closes 1 April. Besides submitting the brief online form, two copies of the book must be mailed to the Furthermore offices postmarked by April 1.

The Shark Conservation Fund (SCF) is a collaboration of philanthropists dedicated to solving the global shark and ray crisis. Our goal is to halt the overexploitation of the world’s sharks and rays, prevent extinctions, reverse population declines and restore imperiled species through strategic and catalytic grantmaking. SCF is a sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, Inc., a registered 501(c)3 public charity. Our objectives are to:

1.Combat Unsustainable Fishing through implementation of CITES listings.
2.Prevent the extinction of the most imperiled sharks and rays by enhancing legal protections in priority countries.
3.Enhance Marine Biodiversity by creating and redesigning Marine Protected Areas to include shark conservation measures.

The Small Grant Fund supports these objectives by providing grants that do not exceed $25,000 and are 18 months in duration. Annually, we have $250,000 available for Small Grants, which typically allows us to make up to 10 grants per year. There is no guarantee that the submission of a Small Grant application will lead to funding.

Types of projects eligible for Small Grants include:

Existing SCF grantees are not eligible to receive a Small Grant, but former SCF grantees are eligible. Only individuals, or groups of individuals, associated with a non-profit organization or an academic institution are eligible to receive funding. Undergraduate and graduate students may receive funding for discrete projects that will lead directly to improved shark and ray conservation and will produce results within 18 months. Only one application per entity will be considered if the applicant is a nonprofit organization, but multiple applications from individuals associated with an academic institution will be considered. Government entities are not eligible for funding with the exception of academic institutions such as universities.

Promoting Educational Attainment and Economic Mobility among Racially, Ethnically, and Economically Diverse Groups after the 2023 Supreme Court Decision to Ban Race-Conscious Admissions at Colleges and Universities

$200,000
2 years

The Russell Sage Foundation, in collaboration with the Hewlett, Spencer, and William T. Grant Foundations, seeks to support innovative research on the aftermath of the 2023 Supreme Court decision striking down race-conscious college and university admissions policies. The initiative focuses on ways to promote educational attainment and economic mobility among racially, ethnically, and economically diverse groups following the court’s ruling that the declared that use of race-conscious admissions policies violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and was, therefore, unconstitutional.

Background

In a June 2023 decision, the Supreme Court held that admission practices at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina-Chapel-Hill were unconstitutionally race-conscious and violated the 14th Amendment. Proponents of race-conscious admissions policies have argued that such policies acknowledge and help compensate for systemically unequal opportunities in education and contribute to a more diverse workforce. Critics have argued that race-conscious admissions policies limit opportunities for Asian and white applicants. The Court’s decision may also have effects on employment and promotion decisions in the workplace and other settings.

Prior to this decision, ten states had banned the use of race-conscious admissions for their public colleges and universities: Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington. Research on alternative methods for achieving diversity suggests that they do not work as well as race-conscious policies in diversifying college and graduate and professional school enrollment. As a result, the Supreme Court’s decision is likely to generate experimentation with a range of methods to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education and the educational attainment and economic mobility of underrepresented and lower-income groups.

We are especially interested in proposals that will advance social science research on the social, political, and economic effects of the Supreme Court decision and the future of race-conscious policies more generally. Examples of the kinds of topics and questions that are of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • What are the short- and long-run effects of the June 2023 Supreme Court ruling that restricts race-conscious policies in university and college admissions on who attends college and where?

Healthy Eating Research

$275,000
2 years

Healthy Eating Research (HER) is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) committed to building a Culture of Health through identifying effective strategies to improve children’s nutrition and weight. HER’s mission is to support and disseminate research on policy, systems, and environmental strategies that promote healthy eating among children and advance nutrition security and health equity. Some goals of the program are to: build a vibrant, inclusive, interdisciplinary research base in the areas of healthy

food access, nutrition security, diet quality, and healthy weight; and communicate research findings to accelerate policy, systems, and environmental changes. HER issues calls for proposals (CFPs) to solicit scientifically rigorous, solution-oriented proposals from investigators representing diverse disciplines and backgrounds.

Access to affordable, nutritious, culturally appropriate food should be a human right. All families in the U.S. should be able to provide their children with nutritious foods that support optimal growth and development.

Healthy Eating Research supports this goal through improving diet quality and nutrition for all Americans. This CFP hopes to generate evidence on supportive family policies and programs that have strong potential to impact equitable access to nutritious food in communities, nutrition security, diet quality, and improved nutrition and health outcomes. Programs that will be studied are in the areas of: federal nutrition assistance programs; hunger-relief programs; community-powered food systems efforts; and social and economic programs (nonfood policies). We are especially interested in strategies to improve health outcomes for children ages 0 to 18 at highest risk for poor nutrition, specifically lower-income families, as well as the racially and ethnically diverse populations experiencing higher rates of health disparities.

Through this CFP, we seek to learn what does and does not work and why; under what circumstances, who most benefits from these policies and programs; and if disparity gaps are reduced. We are interested in solution-oriented research that focuses on policy, systems and environmental (PSE) change at the national, state, local, and tribal levels. The PSE research strategies can focus on: how to strengthen existing policies or programs; evaluation of current policies or programs; or designing and pilot-testing new innovative programs that are policy-relevant. Findings will be used to guide and inform decisionmaking about policy and system changes that can advance nutrition equity and improve health.

To learn more about the program, we encourage applicants to visit the Healthy Eating Research website at www.healthyeatingresearch.org.

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is pleased to announce the 2024 National Coastal Resilience Fund (NCRF) Request for Proposals (RFP). NFWF will make investments in planning, design, and implementation of natural and nature-based solutions. The goal is to enhance protection for coastal communities from the impacts of storms, floods, and other natural coastal hazards and to improve habitats for fish and wildlife.


NFWF will award approximately $140 million in grants to create and restore natural systems to increase protection for communities from current and future coastal hazards and improve habitats for fish and wildlife species. The availability of federal funds estimated in this solicitation is contingent upon the federal appropriations process; funding decisions will be made based on level of funding and timing of when it is received by NFWF.


Natural habitats such as coastal marshes and wetlands, coastal forests, rivers, lakes, and streams, dune and beach systems, and oyster and coral reefs – maintained at a significant size for the habitat type and natural hazard being addressed – can provide communities with enhanced protection and buffering from the growing impacts of natural coastal hazards, including rising sea- and lake- levels, changing flood patterns, increased frequency and intensity of storms, and other environmental stressors. NFWF’s regional coastal resilience assessments identify areas, called Resilience Hubs1, where natural resource restoration efforts will have the greatest impact for human community resilience and fish and wildlife. Projects need not be located in an area identified by NFWF as a Resilience Hub to be eligible, but applicants may find this tool useful to assess projects based on the dual benefits to habitats and human communities. Applicants may explore Resilience Hubs on the Coastal Resilience and Evaluation Siting Tool (CREST)

Research Grants (Fall)

$300,000
3 years

Research grants are available to established scientists of all ages working at accredited institutions in the United States. Applications will be judged on the scientific merit and the innovative aspects of the proposal as well as on the competence of the applicant. Research grants of up to three years will be provided. A renewal grant with a maximum of two years is possible, but it will be awarded on a competitive basis. Research grants will not be awarded to investigators who have already received, or expect to receive, substantial support from other sources, even if it is for an unrelated purpose. The maximum budget is $100,000 per year for the two- and three-year research grants.


The Foundation is currently interested in basic research in neurobiology, defined as follows: Invertebrate and vertebrate (excluding clinical) neurobiology, specifically investigations of neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other complex functions of the whole organism as these relate to behavior. The overall goal should be to better understand behavioral output or brain mechanisms of behavior.

Early
Middle
Established

The Foundation emphasizes the support of young scientists at the beginning of their careers and productive senior scientists who wish to move into new fields of interest. Consideration is given, however, to applicants of all ages. The chief criteria for support are the quality and creativity of the research as well as the commitment of the Principal Investigator (a minimum time allocation of 20% is required). The principal investigator must hold no less than the position of assistant professor, or the equivalent, in order to participate in the application process. The applicant need not be in a tenure track position but must be an independent researcher and have Principal Investigator status at his/her institution, usually construed as having lab space independent of another Principal Investigator.

The Foundation does not award funds to investigators who have substantial extramural funding, even if it is for an unrelated purpose. While it is difficult to assign a specific dollar amount to this policy and each case is unique, the Foundation currently defines "substantial" as approximately $200,000 per year (including both direct and indirect expense but excluding the Principal Investigator's salary).

Genentech Health Equity Innovation Fund

$750,000
3 years

We are at a critical inflection point in our efforts to eliminate health inequities. Across the conditions that our medicines treat, there are significant barriers for patients at every point in the care journey. Often, these unjust and avoidable barriers are the result of systemic racism, and cannot be overcome by individual behavior change alone.


At Genentech, we prioritize health equity in everything we do – from clinical study design to our access/policy priorities to our philanthropic investments. That’s why, in 2019, we launched the Genentech Health Equity Innovation Fund to catalyze efforts to eliminate inequities in patient health outcomes. Through the 2024 Innovation Fund, we are seeking to fund teams focused on measurably and sustainably closing racial/ethnic inequities in healthcare to create a future where:


  • All patients – especially those marginalized by our healthcare system – define and attain their highest levels of health supported by a system that is accountable for delivering high-quality competent care.
  • The medical/scientific workforce is diverse, inclusive, thriving and accountable to all patients.

MIT Solve-2024 Global Economic Prosperity Challenge

$10,000
Undefined

Peace and stability are baseline conditions for economic prosperity and a thriving society, and both are at risk with escalating conflicts and economic shocks. Instability and conflict can severely erode economic prospects, reverse years of development gains, and exacerbate vulnerabilities. Poverty and lack of quality jobs contribute to conflict. With 114 million people forcibly displaced due to war, violence, and climate-related disasters, two billion workers worldwide in informal, precarious jobs, and disruptions from AI and other tech, the stakes are high.

Technology and innovation can be powerful tools to promote peace and prosperity. Social media has increased misinformation and polarization, but when well-designed, it also improved cohesion and civic participation and reduced the odds of violent conflict. Similarly, while technology can lead to more precarity, it can also facilitate more inclusive financial systems, new job opportunities, and more resilience. Ethically designing and implementing technology is a key component of building and maintaining more peaceful communities and inclusive economies. 

MIT Solve seeks exceptional solutions leveraging technology to increase peace and prosperity. Our focus for 2024 centers on solutions that: 

  • Promote and sustain peace by increasing community dialogue, civic participation, reconciliation, and justice efforts; strengthening cyber security, and monitoring or preventing violence, misinformation, and polarization.
  • Foster financial and digital inclusion by supporting access to credit, digital identity tools, and insurance while securing privacy and personal data.
  • Generate new economic opportunities and buffer against economic shocks for workers, including good job creation, workforce development, and inclusive and attainable asset ownership.

MIT Solve-2024 Global Learning Challenge

$10,000
Undefined

The world faces persistent gaps in learning and educational opportunities. Globally, 250 million children are not in school, and hundreds of millions are in classrooms that lack adequate access to learning materials or disability-adapted infrastructure. In addition, the skills taught—in school or via other informal pathways—may not allow people to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Technology in education works best when centered on the needs of communities and learners, and when designed to complement rather than replace human interaction. In doing so, it can offer new assistive tools, help cross language barriers, and support educators in creating more adaptive and inclusive learning opportunities. High-impact ideas can use technology for efficient network and scale, even as the end goal remains learner success.  

MIT Solve seeks exceptional solutions leveraging technology to address equity gaps in learning. While we are excited to select and support innovators across any learning area, we have a particular interest for 2024 in solutions that: 

  • Ensure that all children are learning in good educational environments, particularly those affected by poverty or displacement.
  • Use inclusive design to ensure engagement and better outcomes for learners with disabilities and neurodivergent learners, while benefiting all learners.
  • Provide the skills that people need to thrive in both their community and a complex world, including social-emotional competencies, problem-solving, and literacy around new technologies such as AI.

MIT Solve-2024 Global Climate Challenge

$10,000
Undefined

Climate change is an omnipresent issue with the hottest recorded year, continuous extreme weather, and long-term impacts that will be determined by near-term choices. While driven by emissions from energy, industry, and agriculture in a concentrated set of economies, climate change disproportionately impacts the up to 3.6 billion people living in contexts that are highly vulnerable to impacts including extreme heat, flooding, and droughts. The climate crisis requires dramatic action, including rapid technology deployment alongside bold policies, financial commitments from governments, private capital, and philanthropy, and global market shifts.

Technology and innovation have an important role to play in contending with the effects of climate change. Technology exists to replace or mitigate all major areas of current emissions but often has minimal adoption due to high costs, a lack of engagement with communities, and the need for design at scale. Innovation can offer new business models, decreased costs, and approaches to scaling impact alongside or in place of new technologies that can help meet mitigation and adaptation goals at the speed of the crisis. 


MIT Solve seeks exceptional solutions that leverage technology to address the causes and impacts of the climate crisis. While we are excited to select and support innovators across any climate area, we have a particular interest for 2024 in solutions that: 

  • Adapt cities to more extreme weather, including through climate-smart buildings, incorporating climate risk in infrastructure planning, and restoring regional ecosystems.
  • Enable a low-carbon and nutritious global food system, across large and small-scale producers plus supply chains that reduce food loss.

MIT Solve-2024 Global Health Equity Challenge

$10,000

Every person has the right to access the full range of quality health services they need, when and where they’re needed. While there has been some progress towards these goals over the last few decades, much of that progress has now slowed or reversed. Currently, half the world lacks access to comprehensive health services. Two billion people face financial hardship due to out-of-pocket healthcare costs. Under-resourced communities (including but not limited to women and girls, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and older adults) are often disproportionately affected and experience systematically worse health outcomes


Technology and innovation have an important role to play in improving health and well-being for all. New technologies can improve health outcomes and access, but only when utilized effectively. Innovation can help these technologies be more affordable, scalable, sustainable, and community-focused. Opportunities for positive change exist across many areas of care including primary care, mental health, and infectious diseases. 

MIT Solve seeks exceptional solutions—rooted in and driven by communities—that leverage technology to increase access to quality care and good health. While we are excited to select and support innovators across any health area, we have a particular interest in solutions that: 

  • Ensure health-related data is collected ethically and effectively, and that AI and other insights are accurate, targeted, and actionable.
  • Increase capacity and resilience of health systems, including workforce, supply chains, and other infrastructure.

Indigenous innovation is as diverse and expansive as Indigenous communities, with entrepreneurs harnessing traditional knowledge systems, values, and teachings to reimagine and renew what is possible in their communities and beyond. The Tohono O’odham Nation, a sovereign tribe with the landmass of Connecticut, has recently deployed affordable wireless internet service across its citizens. In Canada, the Sanyakola Foundation is working directly with First Nations and Métis elders to develop language revitalization technologies for dying or presumed extinct Indigenous languages. Indigenous innovators across the US and Canada are committed to creating bright and prosperous futures for all. Solve continues to hear from Indigenous leaders about the essential role culture and traditional knowledge systems must play in any business, nonprofit, or social enterprise designed by and for their communities. Moreover, there is an ever-increasing callfrom Indigenous peoples to generate, modify, and control their own technologies for the sake of their communities. Whether working with data banks, financial institutions, agriculture, energy, and more, the time is past due for local control of the services and technologies serving Indigenous peoples. 

MIT Solve seeks exceptional innovators supporting community-based solutions by and for Indigenous communities across the United States and Canada. While we are excited to select and support innovators with any focal area, we have a particular interest for 2024 in solutions that: 

  • Strengthen sustainable energy sovereignty and support climate resilience initiatives by and for Indigenous peoples.
  • Drive positive outcomes for Indigenous learners of any age and context through culturally grounded educational opportunities.
  • Promote culturally informed mental and physical health and wellness services for Indigenous community members.
  • Advance community-driven digital sovereignty initiatives in Indigenous communities, including the ethical use of AI, machine learning, and data technologies.

Health Equity Team Science Award

$800,000
4 years

For this award, a single Health Equity Team must have at least two — and up to four — related research projects (each led by a separate principal investigator with a separate application) that share a well-defined theme and overall objective. The research projects should have the potential to improve our understanding of or have a positive impact on identified barriers to optimal health outcomes for all people with CF related to race and ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender, or socioeconomic status. The projects may be designed to: 

  • Test new hypotheses and/or new methods
  • Advance established results 

Proposed projects may be designed using clinical (observational/interventional), translational, epidemiologic, and/or implementation science methodology. 

Each investigator is expected to be a significant contributor and share the responsibility and authority for leading and directing the project. Given the wide-ranging nature of cystic fibrosis care, it is imperative that research teams should include a transdisciplinary assortment of investigators. It is strongly encouraged that each study team include at least one member with a strong track record of publishing in the health equity research field demonstrating established expertise in health equity research. Investigators are expected to be thought partners on the proposed work with each investigator carrying a nearly equal role in the conduct of the work, and being fundamental to the ability to address the overarching research objective(s). 

The Health Equity Team Science Award should not be used to support multi-site studies where one principal investigator’s (PI) role is solely to support enrollment, provide samples or data, or serve in a consulting role (please see the Clinical Research Award or Clinical Pilot & Feasibility Award request for applications for these projects). We strongly encourage investigators to use this award mechanism to launch interdisciplinary collaborations.

Applicants must speak with program staff prior to submission to ensure the project design is in line with the goals of this request for application.


  • Applicants must be independent investigators. An independent investigator is an individual who is out of fellowship training and whose institution allows them to submit applications for research funding as a PI. Clinical fellows and postdoctoral fellows may not be listed as a lead PI on any project.

Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF)

Climate Change and Human Health Seed Grants-April2025

$50,000
2 years

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund aims to stimulate the growth of new connections between thinkers working in largely disconnected fields who might together change the course of climate change’s impact on human health. In the three years between Fall 2023 and Summer 2026, we will dedicate $1M to supporting small, early stage grants of $2,500–$50,000 toward achieving this goal.

We are mainly but not exclusively interested in activities that build connections between basic/early biomedical scientific approaches and ecological, environmental, geological, geographic, and planetary-scale thinking, as well as with population-focused fields, including epidemiology and public health, demography, economics, and urban planning. Also of interest is work piloting new approaches or interactions toward reducing the impact of health-centered activities, such as developing more sustainable systems for health care, care delivery, and biomedical research systems.

Another area of interest is preparation for the impacts of extreme weather and other crises that can drive large-scale disruptions that will immediately impact human health and the delivery of health care. Public outreach, climate communication, and education efforts focused on the intersection of climate and health are also appropriate for this call. This program supports work conceived through many kinds of creative thinking. Successful applicants include academic scientists, physicians, and public health experts, community organizations, science outreach centers, non-biomedical academic departments, and more.

Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis through July 2026. A review will be conducted quarterly.

For the purpose of this funding announcement, health disparities are defined as “systematic, plausibly avoidable health differences adversely affecting socially disadvantaged groups.” (Braveman et al. 2011 ). CCRF will consider disparities based on race/ethnicity, sex or gender, socioeconomic status, language, geography, or other social determinants of health, so long as their evaluation is supported by the literature. Proposals that identify modifiable risk factors, elaborate mechanisms of disparities or inequities, or which plausibly propose to reduce them, will have greater priority for funding than proposals that simply describe them.

Exhibition Grant-American Art

Undefined

The American Art Program supports scholarly loan exhibitions that contribute significantly to the study and understanding of art of the United States, including all facets of Native American art. The loan exhibition grants advance the Program’s efforts to empower art museums to reconsider accepted histories, foreground the voices and experiences of underrepresented artists and cultures, and welcome diverse collaborators and communities into dialogue.

Proposals for loan exhibitions are considered in a single cycle each year. The entrants are judged as a pool over the course of three stages of review. An external panel of advisors, including academic art historians and curators, participates in the advanced stages of the competition. Winning proposals are distinguished by the cultural significance of the art, and the intellectual rigor and originality of the exhibition’s conceptual framework. Institutional capacity and feasibility of project plans are also considered. See recently funded exhibitions.



Institutional

Eligible projects may address any time period and/or medium, with the exceptions of performance art, film, and the work of emerging artists. The projects must result in substantial exhibitions and preferably have accompanying publications. Proposals will be judged on the cultural significance of the art under consideration, as well as on the intellectual rigor and originality of the exhibition’s conceptual framework.

Should you have questions in advance of completing the concept note, you may e-mail them to Dr. Teresa A. Carbone, Program Director for American Art at tcarbone@hluce.org.

  • Concept Notes must be submitted online by the originating institution and not by a participating-venue institution. (Letters are not accepted from individuals.)
  • Art of the United States, including Native American art, should constitute significantly more than half of the checklist.
  • The organizing institution’s permanent collection should not constitute more than half of the exhibition checklist.
  • A single, privately held collection should constitute no more than half of the exhibition checklist.

Grant-Spring

$75,000

Most research awards range from $5,000 to $75,000 and are based on one-year contracts. A second year may be considered contingent upon the grantee submitting a six-month progress report, a 12-month progress report and a continuation application that is favorably reviewed by MCPF’s Grant Committee.

MCPF encourages research grant applicants to seek support from more than one funding source. Where applicable, MCPF may co-fund projects that have overlapping funding requests approved by another organization.

Applications for research grants are accepted from American or international investigators located at institutions that have clearly established lines of accountability and fiscal responsibility. Applications must include institutional assurances regarding research on human subjects and/or on ani­mals and must be signed by the individual responsible for administration of the contract. Funds are awarded to the principal investiga­tor's host institution. If the PI moves after the initiation of the contract to a new host institution, all efforts will be made by MCPF to ensure the continuation of the specific research project. However, as a small organization, MCPF reserves the right to request reimbursement of our grant if the project is not completed. This provision will be in the contract the institution must sign prior to receiving the grant.

The intent of these awards is to promote inno­vative and groundbreaking work, not to provide ongoing, long-term support. Awardees are eligible to apply for subsequent funding, but such applications will be reviewed competitively.

We have a ‘totality of assets’ approach, meaning we leverage the full power of the foundation’s financial and non-financial assets for impact. There are two types of funding opportunities: grants and program-related investments (PRIs). Both grant and PRI proposals must align with our interconnected goals of racial justice, economic justice, and/or environmental justice (REEJ). 


We support racial justice work that:

  • Fosters civic engagement: BIPOC and other marginalized communities face long-standing and concerted efforts to restrict and suppress their participation in the public sphere, especially in civic processes. We support efforts to ensure these communities have the access and capacity to participate freely in shaping the policies, practices, and institutions that impact their everyday lives. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, work that:
  • Decreases regressive policies aimed at disenfranchising BIPOC communities and limiting political participation
  • Fosters leadership development for public servants including advocates and elected officials

Scope

Grants should be consistent with advancing engineering.

Certain UEF preferences should be understood by proposers:

  • Broad-based, interdisciplinary proposals that further the engineering profession as a whole are preferred.
  • Multiple-year proposals are welcome, but funding is awarded for a single year only. Proposals for subsequent years follow procedures identical to that of single-year proposals. No commitment for funding of subsequent years of a multiple-year project should be inferred from funding of a prior year.

The Foundation seeks research proposals that focus on identifying unmet clinical needs and developing new diagnostic, experimental, and computational approaches and technologies to improve patient care and management.

Forced Migration Funding Program

$37,200
Undefined

Forced migration and the treatment of refugees and other displaced people currently find themselves at the center of many political, social, and academic debates. Yet forced migration is neither limited to certain regions nor to present-day developments. It is, indeed, a global phenomenon that has shaped humankind since time immemorial. Risks such as violent conflicts and wars, persecution, discrimination, poverty, as well as changes in climate and environment can all prompt people to leave their places of origin.

While forced migration has been a subject of research in Anglo-Saxon scholarship since the 1980s, the attention paid thereto has recently seen significant increase in a number of specific European academic landscapes. African, Asian, Australian, and Latin American research has also seen a proliferation of such inquiries. Thus far, however, the approaches taken have been fragmented and there remain various thematic gaps, methodological deficits, and limited broader geographic connections. Hence there is a need to strengthen this core research and further expand the horizons of the interdisciplinary field of Forced Migration Studies going forward.

For the Gerda Henkel Foundation this marks an opportunity to commence its funding programme on “Forced migration” and therewith build on the promising approaches and developments of global research but also respond to the existing desiderata in related scholarship. The funding programme aims to support, in particular, internationally oriented, multidimensional research projects on forced migration that address questions receiving insufficient attention in the relevant debates thus far. This also involves further linking theoretical core research with concepts vital to social, humanitarian, and political praxis.

The Foundation welcomes research projects that adopt multidisciplinary approaches within this framework. Engaging in comparisons across regions and time periods should also be a priority here. Projects that incorporate intersectional perspectives and issues are highly desirable too. Depending on the research approach taken and possibilities at hand, cooperation with local knowledge-producers (researchers as well as civil society actors), or people affected by displacement within countries of origin or asylum (particularly in the “Global South”), is strongly encouraged.

The Foundation expects applicants to reflect on the ethical implications of their work, and also to develop plans to disseminate research results—including finding meaningful ways to address social, humanitarian, and/or political actors, as well as the nonspecialist public media and populace at large.

The funding programme is aimed at researchers across a number of disciplines: Humanities, Social Sciences, Cultural Studies, Law, and Economics. Funding for research scholarships and for the implementation of research projects is offered. PhD scholarships are only granted in tandem with a specific research project.

HD Human Biology Project

$150,000
2 years

Despite the identification of the gene responsible for Huntington’s disease (HD) over 25 years ago, to date there are no effective treatments available to patients to modify disease progression. Although animal models have been instrumental to our understanding of HD biology, the most physiologically relevant scientific observations are those that are recorded in humans with HD. As a result, the Huntington’s Disease Society of America has adopted a patient-centric research strategy to push the field closer to meeting our goal of identifying effective therapies. The HD Human Biology Project is the cornerstone of this strategy. To date, HDSA has committed more than $7 million dollars to support this program!

The Human Biology Project was launched in 2013 with the goal of fostering innovative research in collaboration with HD clinics to better understand the biology of Huntington’s disease as it occurs in humans. HDSA encourages researchers to consider one of HDSA’s Centers of Excellence as a potential collaborator, but applicants may propose to work with any HD clinic around the world.

Path to a Cure Pilot and Feasibility Award-Academic Programs-Research Grant-PTAC Research Grant (May)

$750,000
3 years

Small-molecule CFTR modulators that directly target the mutant protein are powerful therapies that will likely benefit 90 percent of people with cystic fibrosis in the near future. However, there is still a significant unmet need for people with CFTR mutations who either do not respond to modulators, do not generate sufficient quantities of protein for correction, or block protein synthesis (i.e., premature stop codon mutations, splice mutations, insertion/deletion mutations, etc.). To ensure all people with CF have access to effective CFTR-directed therapies, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announced the Path to a Cure (PTAC) initiative in 2019.


Projects supported through the PTAC initiative should focus on foundational concepts, strategies, novel tools and methods, and/or technologies that have the potential to inform or ultimately translate into novel therapies to restore CFTR protein function or fix/replace the defective CFTR gene:

  • Identifying, characterizing, and validating potential targets to promote nonsense mutation suppression, which includes understanding the pathways and mechanisms that regulate translation termination and nonsense mediated decay (NMD)
  • Developing novel means of repairing and/or replacing the mutant CFTR gene
  • Characterization of cellular targets for CFTR correction, including airway progenitor cells and other affected epithelial tissues (biliary tract, GI tract, pancreas)

Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction Biomarkers RFA

$800,000

Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the primary cause of long-term mortality in lung transplant recipients. Current understanding of pathogenesis is limited, contributing to the lack of targeted therapeutics.

Although CLAD is presumed to be the result of cellular and/or antibody-driven immune responses, airway infections, aspiration, and other mechanisms of airway injury, the mechanism(s) for bronchiolitis obliterans lung fibrosis after lung transplant remains poorly defined. Research projects may address the endotyping and mechanistic understanding of CLAD, identification and validation of biomarkers for early detection and monitoring of CLAD, and discovery of therapeutic targets for treatments that might prevent or treat CLAD. Please note: This is a one-time request for applications (RFA) with a letter of intent (LOI). Full applications will be solicited by invitation only. 

Applicants may request funding of up to $150,000 per year for up to two years, plus an additional 12% indirect costs for independent research; and up to $350,000 per year for up to two years, plus 12% indirect costs for collaborative research.

MIT Solve-Learner//Meets//Future: AI-ENabled Assessments Challenge

$35,000
Undefined

Being able to accurately assess what, how, and when students learn is a critical component for thriving educational settings. For elementary and middle school learners and teachers in the United States, the assessment experience typically involves completing multiple-choice questions, true/false statements, and fill-in-the-blank exercises and a lengthy review and grading phase after the fact. In early learning, high stakes observational assessments may result in mis-labeling children’s abilities, having a profound impact on their future learning pathways. These traditional methods do not provide a comprehensive understanding of students' knowledge, skills, and abilities. Such tests don’t take into account the cultural, language, and learning differences among students, contributing to inequitable learning outcomes across racially and economically diverse populations. The testing experience can be intimidating to learners, further complicating the efficacy of traditional classroom assessments. (1)

There is an incredible opportunity to innovate assessment practices in US classrooms to better meet the diverse needs of learners. Technology-enabled tools can assess student learning in more authentic and nuanced ways. Additionally, the use of such tools can save assessment delivery time for educators and present new ways for learners to receive real-time actionable feedback. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a particularly useful technology for assessment, because of its ability to track massive amounts of data, synthesize and analyze these data, and share insights that both the learner and teacher can engage with. AI-enabled assessments can help educators measure what students do, not just what they say (or write, or think) they can do. They also hold potential to be powerful learning experiences in and of themselves, allowing learners more latitude to explore and engage throughout the assessment. (2)


Even with the opportunity to increase learner engagement and confidence, support continuous feedback, and reduce burdens on educators, the idea of implementing AI-enabled assessments in US educational settings raises many ethical and equity concerns that technology designers, policymakers, and education leaders must consider. The responsible use of AI in assessment must include ways to combat algorithmic bias, ensure privacy and data security, allow for rigorous efficacy research, and ensure equitable access for all learners. Moreover, human oversight and input remains essential, meaning educators and administrators will need support and resources as they implement new assessment practices.


AI-enabled assessment is a very new space for many innovators. We do not expect fully developed and tested solutions to surface (but welcome those that exist!). This Challenge seeks innovative solutions that have strong potential to be pilot tested in US schools serving priority learners in Pre-K - Grade 8. Solutions must benefit all students but should prio

Florida Blue Foundation

Food Security

$400,000
4 years

Florida Blue Foundation’s overall goal is to move families, children, individuals, and communities from food insecurity to food security.

Priority: Improving Access to Healthy Food Food insecurity and the lack of access to affordable, nutritious food are linked to a higher risk of chronic health conditions. Conversely, access to fresh food plays a critical role in promoting healthier choices and improving overall health outcomes within communities. This program is dedicated to improving access to healthy foods and developing self-sufficiency by creating sustainable solutions to enhance food security. Programs should incorporate a strong nutrition education component to address health risks associated with food insecurity.

Special Note

When completing the on-line application, please keep in mind that Florida Blue Foundation is looking for nonprofit charitable organizations to propose proven services that will be implemented to serve primarily underserved, underinsured, and low-income individuals in Florida and to reach more individuals in rural communities. Priority will be given to organizations that provide services in the following ZIP codes: 32206, 32805, 33612/33613, 33142, and 33311 plus Florida’s rural counties – reference the Florida Department of Health map of rural counties provided in the Details section of the application portal and the Important Information and Attachments sections of the application (with the Program Milestone Document information).

First Nations will award 10 fellowships of $75,000 each to 10 outstanding Native knowledge holders and knowledge makers engaged in meaningful work that benefits Indigenous people and communities in either reservation and/or urban settings. These fellowships support the work of Native knowledge holders and knowledge makers as they significantly advance their work and spark transformative change in their communities. In this sense, community is broadly defined and can include your Native community, knowledge community, etc.

The fellowship is a two-year, self-directed enrichment program designed to support the process of growth, development, knowledge, and networks of Native leaders and thinkers. This unique and exciting fellowship seeks to support individuals from diverse fields and engaged in different modes of expression. The fellowship is open to both emerging and experienced leaders and thinkers from a wide variety of fields, including but not limited to agriculture, food systems, youth leadership development, natural resource management, climate change, economic development, journalism, language and cultural revitalization, traditional and contemporary arts, and more.

During the fellowship period, fellows will gather together three times during the initial fellowship year to pool their collective knowledge, and create a community of practice that crosses fields, geographies and tribal cultures. These three required convenings will give fellows the opportunity to engage in rich conversations intended to strengthen their leadership skills, reflect on their impact, share their learning and experiences and promote enduring professional relationships. These cohorts will empower fellows to overcome any geographic and cultural isolation they may experience by being a Native knowledge holder or knowledge maker, possibly as the only one in their field.

Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials: Career Development Award (Winn CDA)

$240,000
2 years

The Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials: Career Development Award (Winn CDA), supported by the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, is a 2-year program designed to support the career development of early-stage investigator (as defined by NIH) physicians from diverse backgrounds, and physicians who have a demonstrated commitment to increasing diversity in clinical research, to become independent clinical trial investigators who are engaged in advancing health equity through their research and mentoring. Currently, our clinical research areas include cancer, cardiovascular disease and immunologic disorders.

The Winn CDA offers a comprehensive and integrated approach to increasing diversity in clinical trials through workforce development and mentoring.


The Winn CDA provides $120,000 annually for two years to institutions sponsoring scholars. The funds are expected to cover a percentage of each scholar’s salary, equivalent to 40% of their time. Scholars are required to receive mentorship from a seasoned clinical investigator at a clinical trial site or institution and are expected to actively participate in their mentor’s clinical trial, which must meet the FDA Clinical Trial Definition. Scholars aren’t expected to run their own trials.


Mentorship is a critical aspect of the Winn CDA. Mentors provide guidance on career and professional development with a particular focus on challenges, opportunities, and strategies for researchers from underserved backgrounds. Through this process, mentors will share personal experiences that have influenced their career pathways.

Reproductive Scientist Development Program

$250,000

The RSDP program is more flexible in terms of research proposals. Due to its focus on young scientists who may not have had rigorous experience or training in scientific inquiry or publication, recipient acceptance into the program does not imply a need to conduct and publish novel, breakthrough scientific work in the OB/GYN space, as this in and of itself is rare. Rather, the program is a March of Dimes effort to recognize and strengthen the wide breadth of human talent in the OB/GYN field and spark a lifelong confidence, passion and commitment to maternal fetal health research that will undoubtedly change not only clinical outcomes, but lives, in the decades to come. 


As such, research proposals must be translational in nature and relate to the field of maternal fetal health – with a focus on prematurity, maternal and infant morbidity and mortality and health equity – but the outcome of the work is less important than the training and shaping of the recipient during the grant period.


This program is administrated by a host institution and is funded by a coalition of organizations including the March of Dimes, with coalition members pooling funding to support the research work of about a dozen grant recipients annually, the grant structure has recently changed, with each coalition organization funding a specific recipient.

Simons Foundation

Pivot Fellowship Request for Applications

$50,000
1.5 years

Science benefits from an exchange of ideas, knowledge and approaches across disciplines. Some of the most impactful work in history has come from individuals who studied across fields. Marie Curie was a physicist and a chemist, winning a Nobel prize in both categories. Her contributions to physics were recognized for the discovery of radium, and her isolation of the element earned the prize for chemistry. Louis Pasteur was a chemist whose doctoral thesis focused on arrangement of atoms in solids using crystallography. Following an interest in the molecular asymmetry of biological molecules of microorganisms, he made his famous discovery that microorganisms cause disease. These extraordinary individuals brought knowledge and insight from one field to another and made an outsized impact on the pursuit of scientific understanding.

In this spirit, the Simons Foundation invites applications for the Pivot Fellowship program which will support researchers who have a strong track record of success and achievement in their current field, and a deep interest, curiosity and drive to make contributions to a new discipline. The fellowship will enable today’s brightest minds to apply their talent and expertise to a new field and will consist of one training year where the fellow will be embedded in a lab of a mentor to learn the new discipline and its culture. Mentorship and support are essential for learning a new discipline and culture. In addition to the qualifications and potential of the applicant, the suitability of the mentor and the environment for mentorship will be strongly considered in the application process.

Changemakers in Family Planning

$67,000
1.5 years

Institutionalized racism, past and present, is a barrier to the full participation of people of color in science. This systematic maldistribution of resources, power, and opportunity negatively affects scholars of color who enter the academic sphere and the research produced. The science of family planning is no exception; the underrepresentation of people of color inhibits the generation of research on abortion and contraception.


As a core strategy, the Society of Family Planning is seeking to build and support a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and multidisciplinary community of all engaged in the science of abortion and contraception. Underlying this strategy is the knowledge that the full participation of scholars of color is essential to pursuing the ambitious vision of just and equitable abortion and contraception informed by science. This knowledge is further echoed in the Society’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Vision Statement.

Infectious Disease Award: Understanding dengue and Zika spread, immunity and clinical outcomes

$6,000,000
5 years

This funding call will support multidisciplinary teams to generate evidence on where dengue and Zika viruses co-circulate and investigate the implications this has on host immune responses and clinical outcomes. Research funded through this award will support global efforts to understand and predict the spread of these pathogens, especially where data are limited. Funded projects will also help to design and implement future interventions to reduce dengue and Zika’s growing burden and impact on health.


Dengue and Zika viruses are closely related flaviviruses that share common mosquito vectors and are known to co-circulate in human populations. Data on their epidemiology and disease burden are limited in critical geographical regions, especially in Africa and Asia. The limited availability of data on co-circulation and cross-reactivity prevents the effective design and implementation of interventions against the current and future spread of the two viruses. 

Individuals can experience simultaneous infections with dengue and Zika, or infection with one virus followed by the other (sequential infection), potentially triggering cross-reactive immunity. Cross-reactivity between dengue and Zika may influence the level of protection against future infections with the two pathogens, therefore affecting spread, disease burden and clinical outcomes.

This call aims to fund projects that explore the effects of dengue and Zika co-circulation on host immune responses and clinical outcomes, with a particular focus on areas where epidemiological and immunological data are limited or underused. Proposals can additionally include investigations into socio-demographic, climatic and land-use drivers of dengue and Zika co-circulation and spread.

We will prioritise proposals that consider the co-circulation of the two viruses and include:

Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain - Conference Awards

$50,000

The Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain (SCGB) is accepting applications for funding of courses or conferences relevant to the SCGB mission. Of particular interest are courses that focus on training in computational and theoretical neuroscience. Courses and conferences that focus on the fields of systems and computational neuroscience are also encouraged to apply. You can find more information on the SCGB program here.


Traditionally, neuroscience research has relied heavily on studies of sensory and motor systems to reveal the principles of brain function. But much of what goes on in the brain is internal — states that control motivation and decision bias, representations of remembered events and cognitive explorations. These internal states play against and interact with sensory and motor signals in a way that has been difficult to explore in the absence of methods for reading out and affecting neural responses that do not rely solely on manipulating stimuli or monitoring actions. The time has come to extend our domain of study to include internal activity because the right methods now exist: We can record simultaneously from large numbers of neurons, we can manipulate their activity with optogenetics and we have the theoretical tools to decipher the signals that they encode. This allows us to recognize internal brain states from activity alone, unprecedented in the history of brain research. By combining this analysis of internal states with the analysis of sensory and motor processing, we can exploit new experimental and theoretical tools to span the arc from sensation to action, and to discover the nature, role and mechanisms of the neural activity that produces cognition.

Side effects matter: Centering people’s experiences with contraceptive side effects

$25,000
1.5 years

Side effects are one of the most common reasons why people who are trying to avoid pregnancy report being dissatisfied with or decide to discontinue contraception. Despite the prominence of side effects in people’s contraceptive experiences and decision making, people’s concerns about and experiences with side effects are often minimized, especially among those whose fertility is problematized within existing systems of oppression.

Recognizing that side effects influence people’s willingness and ability to use contraception, there is a need to build on current evidence exploring people’s experiences of side effects and the clinical response to people’s experiences with side effects. Further research is needed on questions such as:


How does social location shape people’s experience of side effects?

What factors shape people’s tolerance for side effects?

What are people’s expectations about clinical support around side effects?

Racial Equity Research Grant

$75,000

The Racial Equity Research Grants program supports education research projects that will contribute to understanding and ameliorating racial inequality in education. We are interested in funding studies that aim to understand and disrupt the reproduction and deepening of inequality in education, and which seek to (re)imagine and make new forms of equitable education. Thus, we are interested in research projects that seek to envision educational opportunities in a multiplicity of education systems, levels, settings, and developmental ranges and that reach beyond documenting conditions and paradigms that contribute to persistent racial inequalities.

Our goal for this program is to support rigorous, intellectually ambitious, and technically sound research that is relevant to the most pressing questions and compelling opportunities in relation to racial equity in education. In this cycle of funding, we will continue to fund scholarship focused on a range of communities and issues with respect to equity. However, we want to especially encourage proposals that focus on Indigenous education and scholarship focused on issues of equity in international contexts. 

As with other Spencer grant programs, this program is “field-initiated” in that proposal submissions are not required to be developed around a particular research topic, discipline, design, method, or geographic location. We will be accepting applications for projects ranging from one to five years with budgets up to $75,000.

Lost Cities Funding Programme

$111,600
3 years

The funding programme is designed to be interdisciplinary and to facilitate projects in which there are varied dimensions to the examination of abandoned cities. At the same time, there should be a focus on causal correlations, both with regard to specific individual cultures and spanning all cultures, and on specifics of place and time. Thus far, such places have emerged for very different reasons, including military destruction, natural disasters, epidemics, environmental pollution, economic collapse, financial speculation, mobility, migration, centralization, deindustrialization, or post-colonial change, to name but a few.

The aim of the programme is to describe the tangible cultures of interpretation, knowledge and perception within these different contexts. Lost Cities are part of a distinct culture of memory, for example, which serves for the negotiation of identities, the preservation of knowledge cultures, the formulation of criticism of progress, or the construction of mythical or sacral topographies as part of a veritable “ruin cult”. On this basis, the focus here should not be on the question of which factors led to the city’s abandonment. Rather, it is the abandoned cities themselves that are of particular interest, as well as the different forms of their interpretation, instrumentalization and coding in various cultures and time frames.

The Foundation's Board of Trustees decides on the applications on the basis of recommendation by an Advisory Committee. As expert reviewer contributes: Prof. Dr. Martin Zimmermann, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. 

Post-Doc
Early

Eligible to apply are post-doctoral researchers based in a university and working in the area of the humanities and the social sciences. Funding can be provided for projects with a thematic focus being addressed by a group of researchers. The Foundation uses the term “group of researchers” to mean associations of at least two researchers actively involved in the project work which is to be funded by means of scholarships from the Foundation and who are carrying out research into the same issues. Applications can only be made for PhD or research scholarships. Applications for a research scholarship by the applicant (project leader) are also possible. A maximum total of three scholarships per group of researchers can be applied for, as well as funds for travel and materials. A fundamental prerequisite for a grant is that project staff conduct their own research, which is published under their name. Other contributors who are not financed by scholarships can also be involved in the project. Scholarship applications made by individual researchers outside of the group are not accepted. The funding programme also provides for the project partners to participate in a public “workshop discussion on Lost Cities” organised by the Foundation.

The Foundation generally accepts applications for research projects made by universities, other research institutes or comparable institutions as well as by one or several Postdocs or scholars with Post Doctoral Lecture Qualification.

The grants for research projects involve, depending on the type of project, the assumption of costs for personnel, travel, materials and/or other costs.

The maximum duration is 36 months.

The applicants must be actively involved in the research work of the project.

Project staff on research projects may only be financed by PhD or research grants. A fundamental prerequisite for a grant is that project staff conduct their own research, which is published under their name. The simultaneous receipt of salary or retirement pension and a research scholarship is not possible. The period of support for Foundation stipend holders working on Ph.D. or research projects can be extended by up to 12 months if the holder becomes a parent during the period covered by the stipend and has an entitlement to maternity or parental leave. Individual arrangements must be discussed with the Foundation’s administrative office.

Health System Strategies to Address Disparities in Hypertension Management & Control - Cycle 2

$15,000,000
5 years

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) plans to reissue a Targeted PCORI Funding Announcement on May 2, 2023 (Cycle 2 2023) seeking to fund large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing health system strategies to improve hypertension control and health outcomes for populations experiencing disparities in outcomes, e.g., Black, Hispanic, rural, and/or uninsured individuals. This preannouncement provides potential applicants additional time to identify collaborators; obtain patient and stakeholder input on potential studies; and develop responsive, high-quality applications.

Hypertension affects almost half of US adults, with the highest prevalence among non-Hispanic Black men and women. Despite hypertension’s treatability, most US adults with hypertension do not have their blood pressure under control, especially people of color, those without access to care or health insurance, and individuals living in rural areas. Health systems factors including the delayed identification of high-risk patients, insufficient linkage to treatment and services, and/or a failure to initiate or intensify treatment when needed may inhibit patients’ ability to control their blood pressure. Implicit bias among healthcare providers may contribute to treatment inertia; inhibit timely, appropriate care delivery; and encumber patient-provider communication, further contributing to poor health outcomes for patients.

National organizations have identified several effective health systems strategies—including practice facilitation, team-based care, health coaching, and home blood pressure monitoring—to be effective for improving rates of hypertension control when implemented as part of multicomponent, multilevel health systems strategies. Although the evidence base for these health systems strategies is robust, questions remain about the optimal health system strategies to eliminate disparities in hypertension control; strategies for the integration of and communication with community-based team members (nurse, pharmacist, community health worker); models for the provision of simplified pharmacotherapy regimens or free or low-cost medications; and the impact of remote care delivery on the initiation and intensification of treatment, patient engagement and experience, and clinical outcomes, especially in historically excluded, under-researched, and/or under-resourced populations and safety net healthcare settings.

This Targeted PCORI Funding Announcement will solicit applications that respond to the following question:

What is the comparative effectiveness of health system strategies to improve hypertension control for populations experiencing disparities in hypertension control and associated health outcomes, e.g., Black, Hispanic, rural, and/or uninsured individuals?

The reissued funding announcement will emphasize the following:

Comparative Effectiveness of Novel Pharmacologic and Evidence-Based Nonpharmacologic Treatments for Migraine Prevention - Cycle 2

$10,000,000
5 years

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) plans to reissue a modified Targeted PCORI Funding Announcement on May 2, 2023 (Cycle 2 2023) seeking to fund rigorous, large-scale pragmatic trials that compare newly available pharmacologic and/or evidence-based nonpharmacologic treatments for the prevention of migraine. For this funding announcement, applicants may request coverage of patient care costs (including medical products, procedures, and care services) for potential funding by PCORI. For additional information, please see the full announcement upon posting.

Preventive treatments include both pharmacological and nonpharmacological options, with the goal of reducing the frequency, severity, and duration of attacks. Although there are many pharmacological options used for migraine prevention, most options were originally developed for the treatment of other conditions. Newly approved treatments such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists have been developed specifically for migraine prevention and have been shown to be efficacious. However, there are uncertainties regarding the long-term comparative effectiveness of CGRP inhibitors compared with commonly prescribed preventives. Further, there is growing interest in the use of nonpharmacological therapies and additional research is needed to understand the role of such options in the prevention of migraine.

This Targeted PCORI Funding Announcement will solicit applications that respond to the following question:

What is the comparative effectiveness of novel pharmacologic and/or evidence-based nonpharmacologic treatments for the prevention of migraine? 

PCORI is particularly interested in studies that compare emerging pharmacological options such as CGRP antagonists to standard prophylactic therapy or to each other. PCORI is also interested in studies that examine the comparative effectiveness of evidence-based nonpharmacological options for migraine prevention. As appropriate, studies may include nonpharmacological interventions as standalone therapy or as an adjunct to pharmacological options. 

Proposed studies should examine large and diverse populations, as appropriate, with an overall sample size that allows precision in the estimation of hypothesized effect sizes. The application must also have planned subgroup analyses aimed at generating meaningful information to inform clinical practice. Applicants should also clearly define criteria for the initiation of preventive therapy based on guideline recommendations.

Implementation of Effective Shared Decision Making Approaches in Practice Settings PFA - Cycle 2

$1,500,000
3 years

This PCORI Funding Announcement (PFA) is intended to promote the targeted implementation and systematic uptake of shared decision making (SDM) in healthcare settings, in line with PCORI’s goal of supporting patients in making informed decisions about their care.


For this PFA, PCORI defines an SDM strategy as an intervention or approach that draws on and presents evidence to inform patients of available treatment options and their risks and benefits, and either engages patients in a decision-making process with their clinician or promotes their ability to engage in such a process.

This initiative will support projects that propose active, multi-component approaches to implementing effective shared decision making strategies that address existing barriers and obstacles to uptake and maintenance, so that these interventions are effectively and sustainably integrated into practice. The SDM strategy must have demonstrated effectiveness on patient, caregiver, or healthcare provider decision making using widely accepted metrics; the corresponding implementation approach must have potential for use and scalability beyond the targeted implementation setting.

Applicants should ensure that the proposed project team draws on sufficient expertise in both SDM and implementation science. Projects must incorporate rigorous evaluation of the implementation of SDM approaches, as well as the impact of the SDM processes in the targeted settings.

Obesity Treatment in Primary Care SettingsIn spring 2014, PCORI issued a targeted funding announcement for pragmatic clinical trials to evaluate obesity treatment options in primary care for underserved populations. Two completed PCORI-funded studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of practical, intensive lifestyle interventions that led to weight loss. These interventions were tested with patient groups that disproportionately experience obesity, including racial and ethnic minorities, people with lower socioeconomic status, and rural residents. These studies include:

Improving Postpartum Maternal Outcomes for Populations Experiencing Disparities - Cycle 2

$15,000,000
5 years

This Targeted PCORI Funding Announcement (Targeted PFA) seeks to fund large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and/or well-designed observational studies comparing multicomponent strategies to improve early detection of, and timely care for, complications up to six weeks postpartum for groups more often underserved or experiencing the greatest disparities in health outcomes, including Black, American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), Hispanic, rural, and low socioeconomic status (SES) populations.

The United States ranks lowest among high income countries in parameters for maternal health, and 40 percent of US maternal mortality occurs during the first six weeks following delivery. Significant disparities for maternal outcomes have been reported for Black, AI/AN, Hispanic, rural, and low SES women. Although evidence-based treatments and care protocols exist for the prevention of postpartum severe maternal morbidity and mortality, postpartum care is typically limited, and there is evidence that important warning signs may be missed or dismissed by patients, as well as clinicians and systems. Signs or symptoms may overlap with those of other conditions and with those of recovery from delivery. Patients and primary or emergency care clinicians also may be unaware of the importance of recent pregnancy status for the interpretation of some symptoms and may not discuss it, and patients experiencing complications in the hospital may not receive referrals to appropriate specialty care. In addition, systemic racism and bias (conscious and unconscious) affect access to and quality of care, and significant inequities persist in access to and availability of timely, appropriate, and respectful postpartum care.

Various strategies to improve postpartum care and outcomes and eliminate disparities and advance health equity have been recommended and/or implemented by professional organizations, health systems and clinicians. Such strategies may be designed to increase awareness and detection of postpartum complications by patients and clinicians, and/or to improve structural competence and overcome bias and inequities in postpartum care.  

This Targeted PFA will solicit applications that respond to the following question:

What is the comparative effectiveness of multicomponent interventions to improve early detection of, and timely care for, risk factors for postpartum complications and for complications during the first six weeks postpartum for Black, AI/AN, Hispanic, rural, and low SES patients?

Building Evidence: Support for Causal Studies to Evaluate Social Programs and Policies

The Evidence and Evaluation team aims to identify, evaluate, and scale evidence-based solutions targeting the nation’s most pressing social problems. This funding targets the first two phases of that goal – identifying and evaluating potential solutions – and is geared toward studies examining the causal effects of a policy, program, or intervention that aligns with key AV policy areas. Causal research employing strong, quasi-experimental methods are a critical component of the evidence-building process and are important for increasing the knowledge base for decision-makers and stakeholders. Examples of causal research methods include natural experiments, regression discontinuity, difference-in-differences, and instrumental variable designs.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) aims to bolster the knowledge base about potentially effective policies, programs, and interventions by funding researchers to conduct rigorous, causal research that aligns with key AV policy areas.

We seek studies that will advance the knowledge base within key AV policy areas, including higher education, infrastructure, contraceptive choice and access, and public finance.

(If you are thinking about a study employing random assignment, you should check out our other RFP focused on randomized controlled trials here and if you are focused on criminal justice outcomes see a separate RFP here).

• Higher Education: The Higher Education initiative seeks to identify and scale effective practices that improve student success and address equity gaps in higher education outcomes. Projects responding to this RFP will help build credible evidence about ‘what works’ to improve student success outcomes, including but not limited to student learning, persistence, degree or certificate completion, job placement, post-college earnings, and debt burden.

• Infrastructure: The Infrastructure initiative supports research, policy development, and advocacy aimed at bolstering U.S. capacity to build infrastructure – including housing, transportation, climate and clean energy infrastructure – faster, better, and at a lower cost. Projects responding to this RFP will expand the knowledge base of ‘what works’ when building infrastructure in the United States at any level of government. This initiative is particularly interested in using rigorous research to address cross-cutting challenges, such as supply-side bottlenecks, accelerating the permitting process, and improving state capacity.

Digital Infrastructure Insights Funds

$100,000
1 year

To further pursue D//Fs agenda, the 2024 RFP invites new research proposals to study the rationales, production, use, governance and maintenance of open digital infrastructures. 

These investigations could be looking at, but are not limited to, the aspects listed below in the scope of the fund: 

Open Digital Infrastructure as Digital Commons 

Open Digital Infrastructure (ODI) represents the set of Open Source code, institutional settings (f.i. technical standards) as well as knowledge assets that building block- technologies (like software libraries, compilers, or communication- and network protocols) are composed of. They are created by individuals, in volunteer communities, in research institutions and SMEs or other corporate environments. Together, they form a foundation of free and public code that is designed to solve common challenges- firstly, in programming, but when applied, also to provide a multitude of (digital) core functions for society.

ODI is a distinct area of focus sitting in intersection with other critical technology ecosystems like hardware, the internet and data, has personal (needs-related), social (functions), economic (business activities), and cultural- political components. It hence can be classified as a genuine common and pertains to us all (see Eghbal, Roads and Bridges 2016): 

Everything in our modern society, from social services and hospitals to banks and collaborative research depends on it. Open Digital Infrastructure provides essential functions for society by f.i. reducing the cost of establishing new businesses, supporting data-driven discovery across research disciplines, and granting access to crucial technical innovations like encryption that would otherwise be too expensive.

Culture of Health Prize


$250,000

We all have dreams for ourselves and our families. But we don’t all have the same opportunities to make those dreams come true. For too long, our social practices, laws, and policies have placed more value on some lives than others based on race, class, and other factors. To achieve health equity, we have to uproot this hierarchy of human value and dismantle the structural racism that permeates society with the ambitious goal of building the future we all want for our children and grandchildren. We believe that, together, we can build a world where health is no longer a privilege, but a right.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Culture of Health Prize honors the work of communities that are at the forefront of addressing structural racism and other injustices to advance health, opportunity, and equity for all. Since its launch in 2013, the Prize has recognized more than 60 communities across the country, inspiring change and highlighting community-led solutions that show us that a more just and equitable world is possible. Previous Prize winners are creating the conditions to enable residents to reach their best health and wellbeing, each working on several key aspects-such as access to healthy foods, transportation, safe and affordable housing, economic opportunity, clean water and air, reproductive justice, and Native and Indigenous peoples’ sovereignty.

Partnership within communities is at the heart of the Prize. This call for applications will enable us to select up to 10 communities to receive the Prize. To be eligible, applications should represent a partnership of multiple unique organizations whose collaboration predates the Prize application. We recognize the collective work of communities whose efforts show us that improving health and equity is possible.

MIT Solve –– Gender Equity in STEM Challenge


$250,000
Undefined

Gender inequity in STEM education and careers not only impacts women, but also has a ripple effect across society. A lack of gender equity in STEM limits women’s earning potential, compounds shortages of technical talent, and stifles innovation. In the United States, the gender gap in STEM appears early in life, and it persistently shows up along education and career pathways with each transition diminishing the likelihood that a woman will work and thrive in a STEM field. 

Despite comparable levels of achievement in science and mathematics in K-12 education, by middle school, boys are already twice as likely to show interest in a science or engineering-related job; by college they are five times more likely to choose a STEM career path. In the STEM workplace, male-dominated company cultures, lack of women’s representation at leadership levels, and gender biases hinder the successful retention and progression of women in STEM careers. In recent years, the pandemic has exacerbated these trends and we have seen women in STEM fields leaving the workforce at twice the rate of women in other sectors. Additionally, women entrepreneurs face significant barriers to starting STEM focused ventures, with women in technology less likely to be awarded grants, qualify for loans or credit products, or to receive equity-based funding than their male-counterparts. In order for the STEM field to effectively design solutions for everyone, it is critical for women to figure more prominently in this landscape.

While government action and sound policies play a critical role in addressing these challenges, so does strong engagement from the public and private sector. To that end, Tiger Global Impact Ventures and MIT Solve are seeking to support US-based solutions that address barriers and unlock the untapped potential of girls and women in STEM across the country. Solutions should include one or more of the following focus areas:

Measuring Metabolism Across Scales

$500,000
2 years

To measure human biology, we need to understand the mysteries of the cell and how cells interact within and as systems. Metabolism is a complex and highly interconnected process, with many different pathways that feed into one another. It encompasses various biochemical processes, chemical reactions, and conversions that transform one form of energy into another, regulating the rate of nutrient uptake from the immediate environment to essentially maintain the living state of a cell or an organism. Metabolic physiology goes beyond studying metabolic pathways and requires consideration of dynamic processes that cross time and space scales. To clarify metabolism and its connection to diseases requires investigating how metabolism is integrated within molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, and organisms, further suggesting that multiple experimental and technological approaches are needed to measure metabolism in action. Mapping, measuring, and integrating metabolism across scales and systems is a path to understanding various facets of human physiology and addressing many common and rare diseases.

Scope and Project Specifications

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) seeks to support two-year collaborative research projects focused on measuring metabolism across organelles and cells. The ability to characterize temporally and spatially the broad molecular profiles, heterogeneity, and phenotypic diversity of organelles and cells and how they interact within and as systems are key to measuring human biology, understanding disease mechanisms, and finding treatments and cures. This Request for Applications (RFA) aims to accelerate innovative discoveries in metabolism and metabolic physiology in health and disease. Applications for two types of grants are welcome: Expanded Projects and Focused Projects. The maximum budgets for proposed projects are $500,000 total costs for Expanded Projects and $250,000 total costs for Focused Projects. All project awards will be for a 24-month duration.

The long-term goal of this opportunity is to investigate the metabolic processes that maintain physiological homeostasis at the sub-cellular and cellular levels, and understand how and when these normal processes go awry. This two-year funding opportunity is explicitly aimed at addressing the mechanisms of metabolism, including its dynamics and resolution, molecular drivers, and the effects of genetic and environmental risk factors on relevant sub-cellular and cellular properties and interactions, and precisely mapping metabolic changes and states across various scales using a broad range of technologies. The projects should aim to use diverse experimental systems beyond immortalized cell lines to ensure the broadest possible insights into cellular and organelle biology. These grants are not intended to support translational research, clinical trials, or drug development.

Examples of potential areas within the scope of this RFA include, but are not limited to:

Data Visualization of Structural Racism and Place

$250,000
Undefined

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), its grantees, and partners have demonstrated the impact of using data to communicate and increase understanding of how the conditions of place impact community health. Structural racism produces a complex set of barriers (often invisible) that undermines opportunities for health and wellbeing for many communities. Yet researchers and data producers—especially those with vital comprehensive, nationwide data that include findings at smaller state and local levels—often struggle to communicate their findings in ways that resonate for policymakers, community partners, and others who are best positioned to make decisions informed by this information. Data visualization, or tools that make it easy to visualize complex measures, can be a powerful means to communicate data showing structural racism’s impact on communities and to contextualize the legacy of racism.


This Call for Proposals will fund up to eight interdisciplinary teams that each consist of researchers/data producers, data scientists, communications experts, designers, and national social change networks/alliances or national-level social change organizations. Funding will support the creation of data visualizations as tools to provide an understanding of structural racism’s impact on place, health, and wellbeing.


Because organizations in individual sectors may find it difficult on their own to communicate an effective understanding of the impact of structural racism to diverse audiences (e.g., policymakers, advocates, funders and investors, or the media), collaboration is needed across organizations and/or disciplines such as academia, design, media, policy, public health, and social services. Together, these sectors can combine their relevant expertise to design new ways to understand and communicate the impacts of structural racism.

RFA Research on the Language and Messaging of Prevention and Responsible Gambling Programs-June Deadline

$402,500
3 years

The International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) invites investigators to apply for a three-year grant to study the impact of safer gambling messaging including its impact on gambling behavior and use of responsible gambling tools. The field of addictions has long recognized the power of language in treatment, public discourse and public health policy and has advocated for removal of negative, stigmatizing

messaging to people struggling with addiction. At the same time, it is important that messages promoting safer gambling have the intended impact at reducing gambling related harm.

In order to eventually create standards for companies and organizations that promote safer gambling and responsible gambling programs, we need empirical evidence to provide guidance. Applicants for this funding mechanism should consider incorporating the work of communications specialists and public health messaging experts as well as scientists experienced in research on gambling-related harms and responsible gambling. A successful application will utilize a community advisory board or community participatory engagement approach to developing and refining messaging.

Phased Large Awards for Comparative Effectiveness Research (PLACER) -- Cycle 2

$22,000,000
6.5 years

This PCORI Funding Announcement (PFA) invites applications for high-quality comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) projects that will address critical decisions faced by patients, caregivers, clinicians, and stakeholders across the health and healthcare community and for which there is insufficient evidence. Investigators should propose an individual-level or cluster randomized controlled trial of significant scale and scope for this PFA. The proposed trials should address critical decisional dilemmas that require important new evidence about the comparative clinical effectiveness of available interventions. Proposed studies should compare interventions that already have evidence of efficacy or are in widespread use. Clinical interventions (such as medications, diagnostic tests, or procedures) and delivery system interventions are appropriate for these studies.

This funding announcement anticipates that proposed research projects will require two phases of funding. The initial phase (feasibility phase) of funding supports a distinct feasibility phase intended for purposes of study refinement, infrastructure establishment, stakeholder engagement, and feasibility testing of study operations, including the ability to recruit and enroll participants successfully. Using the feasibility phase to establish evidence of an intervention’s efficacy is not permitted. Approval to proceed to the second phase will be contingent on achieving specific milestones and deliverables established for the feasibility phase.

Considering the scale, complexity, and scope of trials being solicited under this PFA, PCORI requires that applications include shared trial leadership by a data coordinating center to provide an independent role in study leadership, advising on the analytical, statistical, and data management aspects of both study phases.

Advancing the Science of Engagement PCORI Funding Announcement-June deadline

$5,000,000
3 years
  • This PCORI Funding Announcement (PFA) seeks to fund studies that build an evidence base on engagement in research, including: Measures to capture structure/context, process, and outcomes of engagement in research
  • Techniques that lead to effective engagement in research
  • How these techniques should be modified and resourced for different contexts, settings, and communities to ensure equity in engagement and research
  • How engagement supports successful research, thereby advancing PCORI’s National Priorities for Health

Over the past decade, by requiring the engagement of patients and other stakeholders, PCORI has transformed how research is conducted. Such engagement is defined as the meaningful involvement and partnership of stakeholders throughout the research process—from planning to conducting the study, to ultimately disseminating study results.

Much has been learned about engagement from PCORI’s investments, yet significant evidence gaps remain. There is presently no consensus on how to define or measure engagement, and there has been little systematic study of which engagement techniques are most effective. Methods for engaging and facilitating the inclusion of historically underrepresented populations as study partners is a further critical gap.

Addressing Rare Diseases Topical PCORI Funding Announcement -– Cycle 2 2024

$12,000,000
5 years

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) intends to issue a Topical PCORI Funding Announcement (PFA) on May 7, 2024, seeking to fund high-quality, patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) projects that focus on rare diseases. This preannouncement provides potential applicants additional time to identify collaborators; obtain patient and stakeholder input on potential studies; and develop responsive, high-quality proposals.


PCORI uses the National Institutes of Health's definition of a rare disease, defined as a condition that affects less than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Though each disease is rare individually, it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 rare diseases affecting about 30 million Americans. People with many different types of rare diseases and their caregivers often experience similar challenges such as finding reliable information and relevant resources, receiving an accurate diagnosis and gaining access to adequate and appropriate care. This Topical PFA will solicit applications proposed to address patient-centered CER questions that will fill important rare disease research gaps. Applications addressing critical decisional dilemmas that span multiple rare diseases are encouraged.

PCORI is particularly interested in submissions that address the following Special Areas of Emphasis (SAEs). The purpose of identifying these SAEs is to encourage submissions to these areas, not to limit submissions to these topics. Applicants addressing an SAE should identify the area that is best associated with their research approach. 

1.Approaches to symptom management for individuals with rare disease: As few rare diseases have curative treatments and many patients with a rare disease focus their efforts on managing their disease symptoms, PCORI is interested in funding CER comparing symptomatic care, particularly for symptoms that occur in multiple rare diseases. Some examples include behavioral and symptom relief treatments/techniques for sleep disturbance, pain, pruritis and comorbid mental health diagnoses (e.g., anxiety and depression).
2.Approaches for timely diagnosis of rare diseases: Between 3 and 15 years is a common timeline for receiving a correct rare disease diagnosis, with an average of approximately five years. During this period, frequently referred to as the “diagnostic odyssey,” individuals may experience numerous care visits, a multitude of tests and procedures and inaccurate or missed diagnoses. PCORI is interested in CER studies comparing approaches to decrease the length of the diagnostic odyssey — for example, by comparing genetic testing approaches for newborns with serious illnesses of unknown cause.

Among those aged 12 or older in the United States, around 60 percent reported current use of tobacco products, nicotine, alcohol or an illicit drug in 2022. Nationally, over 48 million people aged 12 or older were diagnosed with a substance use disorder in 2022, of which an estimated 76 percent received no treatment. Rates of both diagnosed substance use disorders and of overdose have escalated in recent years. This Topical PFA will solicit applications focused on substance use/misuse and substance use disorders.

PCORI is particularly interested in applications focusing on substance use/misuse and substance use disorders in high-need and/or underserved populations, including but not limited to rural populations, low-income populations, sexual/gender minorities, racial/ethnic minorities, pregnant persons, those involved with the justice system, youth, older adults and individuals with co-occurring mental and physical health conditions. Applications may propose CER studies of prevention, screening, harm reduction, treatment and recovery approaches for substance use/misuse and substance use disorders at the individual, community or systems level to improve patient-centered substance-use-related outcomes. At least one primary outcome must be focused on substance use.

Substances of interest include but are not limited to alcohol, opioids, nicotine and polysubstance use.

Applications proposing novel interventions and/or aiming to develop new technologies (such as mobile apps) or decision support tools/aids will be considered nonresponsive. Adaptations of efficacious interventions used in the general population may be responsive, but the level of adaptation must be clearly described and justified a priori.

PCORI is particularly interested in submissions that address the following Special Areas of Emphasis (SAEs). The purpose of identifying these SAEs is to encourage submissions to these areas, not to limit submissions to these topics. Applicants addressing an SAE should identify the area that is best associated with their research approach.

1.Evidence-Based Strategies to Advance Equity in the Prevention and Treatment of Substance Use Disorders: Historically underserved and underresourced populations experience significant disparities in outcomes and inequities in access to the continuum of care for substance use/misuse and substance use disorders. PCORI is interested in evidence-based approaches that advance health equity, with a strong recommendation to include individuals with lived experience contributing to the design of the study. Studies could include community-centered recovery models, trauma-informed care, and peer support interventions.

Florida Humanities’ Community Project Grants provide support to eligible nonprofit organizations to develop engaging public humanities programs and resources that promote a deeper understanding of Florida’s diverse cultures, histories, and ideas. We seek proposals that encourage collaboration, dialogue, critical thinking, and foster a sense of shared community.

Projects funded by Community Project Grants should be designed for broad and diverse public audiences. Organizations with proposals utilizing creative methods to engage new and/or underserved audiences are especially encouraged to apply. Programming may be presented in-person, virtually, or in a hybrid format.


Community Project Grants support an array of public humanities programs and resources that encourage community engagement in the humanities. The “humanities” can be defined as the study of human culture through various academic disciplines. These disciplines include, but are not limited to: literature, history, philosophy, art history, musicology, anthropology, ethics, film studies, and cultural studies. Humanities projects bridge the gap between these academic disciplines and the public through the delivery of programming that contributes to the cultural enrichment of communities.

Examples of funded projects include: community conversations, interpretive exhibits (permanent or traveling, physical or digital), lecture series, community-wide reads, film and discussion programs, oral history and story collection projects, interpretive tours, and other types of site- or place-based humanities programming. Media projects such as radio and television productions as well as podcasts and other digital formats with humanities focused content may also be considered.

All Community Project Grants MUST

Closing Local Coverage Gaps

$200,000
2 years

Press Forward’s first open call will address the longstanding inequalities in journalism coverage and practice in the U.S., by investing in small, local newsrooms that provide original reporting in underserved communities.

Through this Open Call on Closing Local Coverage Gaps, at least 100 newsrooms will receive around $100,000 each over two years in unrestricted funds. News organizations with budgets of up to $1 million are eligible.

In the U.S., the news media has not adequately represented, reached nor uplifted the voices of under-represented groups in their coverage. As a result, entire communities are left out of the conversation on the issues that most affect their lives, resulting in lower levels of voting and civic engagement, deeper polarization and a higher cost for government services.

Press Forward wants to ensure that local coverage meets the needs of communities of color, linguistically diverse communities, low-wealth rural communities, and others not adequately served, reached or represented. This open call offers funding to smaller news organizations that are providing the hyperlocal, original reporting people need to make important decisions.

2025 Pilot Award

$500,000
2 years

The goal of the Pilot Award is to provide early support for exploratory ideas considered higher risk but with the potential for transformative results, particularly those with novel hypotheses for autism. This funding mechanism is particularly suitable for investigators new to the autism field, though we encourage applicants to consult with experts in autism research to ensure their projects are relevant to the human condition. We encourage applications that propose research to link genetic or other ASD risk factors to molecular, cellular, circuit or behavioral mechanisms and set the stage for development of novel interventions, including work in human subjects.


The goal of the Pilot Award is to provide early support for exploratory ideas, particularly those with novel hypotheses. Appropriate projects for this mechanism include those considered higher risk but with the potential for transformative results, including work in human subjects. Projects that represent continuations of ongoing work (whether funded by SFARI or other funders) are not appropriate for this mechanism.

This funding mechanism is particularly suitable for investigators who are new to the autism field, though we encourage those new to the field to consult with experts in autism research to ensure their projects are relevant to the human condition.

In particular, we encourage applications that propose research to link genetic or other ASD risk factors to molecular, cellular, circuit or behavioral mechanisms and set the stage for development of novel interventions. Please read more about SFARI’s scientific perspectives. We also strongly advise applicants to familiarize themselves with the currently funded projects and resources that SFARI supports and to think about how their proposals might complement existing efforts.

As with other Pilot projects, proposals in human subjects should be relevant, novel, exploratory, high-risk and with the potential for transformative results. They may test new mechanisms, employ new technology or analytics, or take innovative approaches to phenotyping or stratification that stand to move the field forward in transformative ways. Given the heterogeneity and multifactorial causes of ASD, SFARI places a premium on the use of well-characterized and sufficiently powered cohorts. To facilitate recruitment of cohorts with well-characterized ASD and associated neurodevelopmental disabilities, SFARI has developed the Research Match program, which helps investigators recruit participants from Simons collections, including SPARK and Simons Searchlight. RFA applicants are strongly encouraged, but not required, to use Research Match as part of their participation recruitment strategy. Recognizing that sufficiently-powered work in humans can be costly, projects employing human subjects will have the option for a separate (higher) budget track, as detailed below.

In 2021, The LAM Foundation (TLF) Board of Directors renamed the Career Development Award to honor Dr. Francis X. McCormack's legacy. Dr. McCormack was the founding scientific director of TLF and tirelessly served the LAM community in this role for 25 years. Dr. McCormack was the leading architect behind the multiple transformative advancements in LAM, including, but not limited to, the development of a blood-based biomarker for disease diagnosis, FDA-approved treatment, and clinical practice guidelines. A key feature of Dr. McCormack's professional life included the selfless promotion of young investigators to empower them in their career pursuits. Dr. McCormack's dedication to the LAM community and the principle of keeping the LAM patients at the front and center of every decision has served as an inspiration for numerous investigators beginning their careers. The intent of this award is to develop future principal investigators who focus their time and energy advancing the field of LAM. It is our hope that the recipients of this award will help us carry Dr. McCormack's legacy forward by exhibiting a life-long dedication towards LAM research.

The Foundation's interest in preventing death and serious injury in the workplace stems from the family's company, Industrial Scientific Corporation, which manufactures life-saving gas-monitoring devices. The McElhattan family is deeply committed to ending death on the job by 2050, and we expect the majority of our grant budget will be dedicated to this effort. We are especially interested in innovative safety technology, including virtual and augmented reality. 

We do not fund applications from nonprofits for employee training or installing/buying safety equipment; we also do not fund road safety initiatives. If you've found us and are seeking funding for any of these things, we wish you the best of luck-- our team is small and it's necessary for us to stay within our particular areas of focus in this program area.

End-of-Life Planning and Care Grant (Fall Cycle)

$50,000
1 year

The McElhattan Foundation believes it is possible for most people to have a higher quality of life at the end of life. Grants in our End-of-Life Planning and Care program area will support initiatives in three strategic areas: Awareness and Documentation, Caregiver/Provider Training and Support, and Technological Innovation. As always, we seek to fund changemakers—visionary leaders and strong teams who will create dramatic, measurable improvement in how patients and their families experience the inevitable process of dying.


TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

We believe technology can play a role in improving the “quality of death” for many people. Perhaps there is an application for existing technology, like augmented reality, in training caregivers, or perhaps someone can use emerging technology to prevent pressure sores. We would love to see this innovation begin in Pittsburgh, but we are open to applications from end-of-life tech innovators anywhere in the U.S. (To clarify: the bar here is high. We are not funding requests to purchase equipment like VR headsets, iPads, etc. We are looking for game-changing new ideas that could move the entire field of end-of-life care forward.)


Note: Our focus is “Quality of life at the end of life.” We realize “end of life” is broad, but we’ve chosen it intentionally, building upon our mission of preserving and enhancing human life and our vision of eliminating end-of-life suffering. “Hospice care” has a specific definition under Medicare, and we want to support more than hospice programs. “Palliative care” can apply to conditions that are not necessarily fatal, but we’re concerned with issues that come up in association with death. “End of life,” to us, also includes more than just medical care. For many people, dying also raises legal, spiritual, and cultural questions that need to be addressed with just as much attention as, for example, pain control.

The RPB International Research Collaborators Award-Fall Cycle

$75,000
Undefined

The RPB International Research Collaborators Award promotes international collaborations through which collaborating researchers in the U.S. and outside the U.S. gain new knowledge and skills. These international collaborations have the potential to accelerate the development of treatments for blinding disorders, positively affecting large populations worldwide for years to come. 

Under a reciprocal arrangement, a U.S.-based researcher -- MD, PhD, or MD/PhD with a primary appointment in the department of ophthalmology or a relevant department as an Assistant Professor through full Professor -- will be funded to go for a period of time to an institution outside the U.S. to gain new knowledge and/or skills, and deepen collaborative relationships with researchers there that will be conducive to future research collaborations. In turn, the institution outside the U.S. will send a researcher for a period of time to the U.S. institution from which the U.S. researcher came. An extended stay in the other country is expected by each researcher or a member of each researcher's lab. A fair amount of flexibility in how this expectation can be implemented will be allowed. 

The collaboration should provide a synergistic benefit to each researcher and to the culminating project. The submission must spell out specific and cogent objectives to be accomplished by each of the collaborating researchers toward the fulfillment of two broad goals: (1) gaining new knowledge and skills; and (2) strengthening collaborations across international boundaries. Successful candidates will leverage the unique expertise of each researcher, whereby their collaboration creates a work product that is more than the sum of its parts. An award of up to $75,000 is available. Matching funds are not required, however, a match is encouraged by the department and/or the institution outside the U.S. Only one nomination per department per school will be considered in this grant category.

RPB Stein Innovation Awards-Fall Cycle

$300,000
3 years

RPB Stein Innovation Awards provide funds to two groups of researchers, both with a common goal of understanding the visual system and the diseases that compromise its function. These awards are intended to provide seed money to proposed high-risk / high-gain vision science research which is innovative, cutting-edge, and demonstrates out-of-the-box thinking.


The Stein Innovation Awards are not to serve as venture philanthropy for start-up companies. The application should also not be a natural extension of the candidate's research progress to date; it should catalyze a new line of inquiry or otherwise show a departure from previously funded research. The proposed research in the application should provide a clear and rational research plan, compelling preliminary data, and careful consideration of pitfalls, which should be addressed in the candidate's scientific statement. Additionally, the application should be substantially different than an R01-type research endeavor. The proposed research should be something that federal funders are not apt to finance due to its unconventional and novel reasoning. 

Department chairs (including interim or acting Chairs) can nominate multiple candidates per department per school. Though multiple candidates can be nominated, only one award per department can be approved. Candidates in either cycle must be either MDs, PhDs, or MD/PhDs with an academic position of Associate Professor through full Professor. Candidates must provide not less than 5% effort for the proposed research. The award, $300,000, is payable in two (2) payments, $150,000 per payment upon approval of a 14-month substantive progress report.


For the July deadline, scientists outside the department of ophthalmology who are actively engaged in innovative vision research may submit an application.

Collaborative Pairs Pilot Project Awards

$200,000
1.5 years

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative invites applications for the second cycle of the Collaborative Pairs Pilot Project Awards. These grant awards support pairs of investigators and their teams to explore innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to address critical challenges in the fields of neurodegenerative disease and fundamental neuroscience. Awards are $200,000 in total costs per collaborating pair for a period of 18 months, after which successful projects will be eligible to apply for additional four-year acceleration grants that build on pilot phase studies. Collaborative Pairs teams will benefit from the support, mentoring and collaborative interactions of the Challenge Network, as well as interactions with the broader CZ Science programs and grantee network.

The CZI Neurodegeneration Challenge Network (NDCN) was launched in 2018 as a new type of collaborative research network that brings together biologists, computational scientists, engineers, and physicians from across broad research areas who are motivated by collaboration and open science to tackle unsolved challenges in neurodegenerative disease. Collaboration has been at the core of the vision for the Challenge Network approach and in developing the NDCN program strategy, we have sought to develop funding mechanisms that motivate and support novel collaborative approaches that will lead to bold, innovative, risk-taking science.


The Collaborative Pairs Pilot Project Awards (Cycle 2): 

The Collaborative Pairs program will be a two-phase process:

Phase 1 of the Collaborative Pairs grants RFA will provide seed funds for new interdisciplinary collaborations involving a pair of investigators and their labs to pursue a pilot project towards addressing a critical gap in the field (see section on scope below). Each pair is required to include at least one early or mid-career researcher (less than 10 years in an independent academic PI role). Collaborative Pairs projects will be funded for 18 months ($200,00 total costs/collaboration) for a pilot phase where teams will generate tools and data and further develop their project proposal and team, with the main goal being the development of a project plan for Phase 2. Funded teams will benefit from the support, mentoring and collaborative interactions of the Challenge Network, as well as interactions with the broader CZ Science programs and grantee network.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)

Addressing Structural Barriers to Economic Inclusion for Children and Families Elevating and Accelerating Promising Approaches

$750,000
2 years

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has a vision of a Culture of Health rooted in equity where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to reach their best health and wellbeing, no matter their race, ethnicity, or social class. Economic inclusion for family wellbeing is one of RWJF’s central goals and the heartbeat of the Healthy Children and Families (HCF) theme. At RWJF, we envision a society in which all parents and caregivers are fully integrated into our economy, the barriers to wealth and prosperity are removed, and every child has an array of opportunities that helps them grow up healthy.

Evidence reveals a robust causal link between access to economic resources and opportunity for health and wellbeing. The U.S. economy and many systems that families interact with prioritize production and economic growth, excluding some people—particularly Black, Indigenous and immigrant families—from the nation’s shared prosperity based on factors such as participation in the traditional labor market. HCF’s goal is to disrupt current economic paradigms that value production over wellbeing by addressing the structural factors in economic systems, policies, and decisionmaking.

We seek efforts to bring a new social contract for children and families to life–one that acknowledges our collective interdependence; the need for shared prosperity; and that all families and children have inherent value and dignity. This call for proposals will create a portfolio of grants addressing structural issues that hinder children and families from thriving in our economy. We are interested in frameworks, ideas, models, or approaches that demonstrate an alternative economic vision that positions families at the center–challenging the idea that the value of families can only be understood in connection to work or production.

The focus is on systems change—shifting from programs, policies, and services that fill gaps in families’ resources to the longer-term structural and systemic changes that will ensure all families have the resources they need to raise thriving children. We aim to build evidence for and to elevate promising and innovative models, their connections to current approaches, and how they might help realize a vision that prioritizes child and family health and wellbeing as a core goal of our nation and the infusion of such into the economy.

Democratic Inputs to AI

$100,000
6 months

AI will have significant, far-reaching economic and societal impacts. Technology shapes the lives of individuals, how we interact with one another, and how society as a whole evolves. We believe that decisions about how AI behaves should be shaped by diverse perspectives reflecting the public interest. 

​​Laws encode values and norms to regulate behavior. Beyond a legal framework, AI, much like society, needs more intricate and adaptive guidelines for its conduct. For example: under what conditions should AI systems condemn or criticize public figures, given different opinions across groups regarding those figures? How should disputed views be represented in AI outputs? Should AI by default reflect the persona of a median individual in the world, the user’s country, the user’s demographic, or something entirely different? No single individual, company, or even country should dictate these decisions. 

AGI should benefit all of humanity and be shaped to be as inclusive as possible. We are launching this grant program to take a first step in this direction. We are seeking teams from across the world to develop proof-of-concepts for a democratic process that could answer questions about what rules AI systems should follow. We want to learn from these experiments, and use them as the basis for a more global, and more ambitious process going forward. While these initial experiments are not (at least for now) intended to be binding for decisions, we hope that they explore decision relevant questions and build novel democratic tools that can more directly inform decisions in the future.

The governance of the most powerful systems, as well as decisions regarding their deployment, must have strong public oversight. This grant represents a step to establish democratic processes for overseeing AGI and, ultimately, superintelligence. It will be provided by the OpenAI non-profit organization, and the results of the studies will be freely accessible.

What do we mean by a “democratic process”?

By “democratic process”, we mean a process in which a broadly representative group of peopleA exchange opinions, engage in deliberative discussionsB, and ultimately decide on an outcome via a transparent decision making processC. There are many ways such a process could be structured — we encourage applicants to be innovative, building off known methodologies, and coming up with wholly new approaches. Examples of creative approaches that inspire us include Wikipedia, Twitter Community Notes, DemocracyNext, Platform Assemblies, MetaGov, RadicalxChange, People Powered, Collective Response Systems, and pol.is. Another notable ongoing effort is led by the Collective Intelligence Project (CIP), with whom we are partnering on public input to AI, contributing to their upcoming Alignment Assemblies. We also encourage applicants to envision how AI could enhance the democratic process. For example, AI could enable more efficient communication among numerous people.

Communication and Public Opinion

$115,000

The Foundation supports projects that seek to enhance communication and mutual understanding between the American and Japanese people. Technology has evolved, and the institutions and topics of conversation keep changing, but the high value of greater awareness and communication among average citizens, as well as leaders in a variety of fields from our two countries is a constant.

The Foundation will consider communication and public opinion projects that not only raise awareness about Japan in the US and/or US in Japan, but also deal with concrete issues that affect the bilateral relationship (or are faced by the two nations). As foreign policy increasingly is subject to public opinion (and is often influenced by non-governmental actors), there is a need in both countries for increased and more diversified coverage of international news and current events, as well as strong links between certain non-government organizations (NGOs) to enhance bilateral and multilateral cooperation.

In addition, since mutual understanding between American and Japanese society requires deeper cultural knowledge, the Foundation occasionally supports documentary films, performances, exhibitions, and lectures that focus on Japanese/American culture.

A look at our recent grant activity (link here) will help potential applicants understand the diversity of projects supported under this program. As with all other Foundation Programs, priority is given to projects that can demonstrate originality, broad appeal, enduring impact, excellent management and a well constructed plan for execution and success.

Communication and Public Opinion grants focus on the following areas:

Print Media – Exchange programs, Fellowships, Research, Symposia, etc. involving journalists, editors, or other print media professionals leading to professional development and/or an article series or publication.

Policy projects we fund:

Emphasize research over dialogue

Although the Foundation recognizes that frank and frequent dialogue among US-Japan policymakers and specialists is important for the bilateral relationship, we favor proposals containing a strong original research component. Research has a broad meaning in this context. It often includes a structured analysis of data or policies that yields a publishable result and makes a contribution to the body of evidence in support of viable solutions to problems of common US-Japan interest. It could also include visiting fellowships in particular policy areas, study groups or other formats. Collaboration between US and Japanese institutions is encouraged.

Have lasting impact and practical relevance to US-Japan policymakers

The Foundation favors projects that offer practical tools and information of lasting value to policymakers for current and emerging US-Japan-related issues. There is an important balance to be struck between idealistic, long-term planning approaches and the development of practical, short-term policy recommendations.

Encourage growth, education and interaction of younger scholars and policymakers in both countries

RPB Unrestricted Grants-Fall Cycle


$575,000
5 years

RPB Unrestricted Grants provide maximum flexibility in developing and expanding eye research programs. These annual $115,000 grants provide opportunities for creative planning that go beyond the scope of restricted project grants which scientists normally depend upon for their principal support. Only departments of ophthalmology with a full-time, permanent chair at university-connected medical schools are eligible for support.

Funds automatically renew for five (5) years unless the ophthalmology chair steps down or RPB requires the department to re-apply earlier. Advance notice will be given if the grant is to be terminated. Should the chair step down, RPB may provide one additional payment before the grant is terminated. An acting or interim chair cannot re-apply for continued support.

The Unrestricted Grant is intended for current Unrestricted Grantee departments or RPB supported departments whose Challenge Grants are ending. Departments not supported by an Unrestricted Grant are strongly encouraged to apply for RPB's Challenge Grant. New chairs at RPB supported departments should speak with RPB prior to the submission of an Unrestricted Grant application (contact Pattie Moran). We suggest new chairs be active at least six months prior to submitting an application. If a proposal for an Unrestricted Grant is rejected, the chair must wait two years before reapplying, so RPB strongly encourages thorough preparation and planning before an application is submitted.

Cottrell Scholar Award

$120,000
3 years

CSA proposals contain a research plan, an educational plan, and a clear statement on how the applicant will become an outstanding teacher-scholar with strong academic citizenship skills. Proposal plans must be for a period of three years. The ability of applicants to mount a strong and innovative research program, achieve excellence in education, and develop effective academic citizenship skills are key criteria in the selection process.

In applying for, and in accepting funds from Research Corporation for Science Advancement, each scientific investigator pledges to maintain a safe and harassment-free working environment, which includes appropriate training of all members of the research group and compliance with the requirements and guidelines established by that investigator’s institutional research safety office.

Research Plan. Successful research plans identify relevant problems of high scientific significance and describe innovative and feasible approaches toward solutions. Each research plan may or may not describe a new scientific thrust for the applicant, but new directions and outcomes (different from what is already funded by other sources) need to be clearly highlighted. A winning proposal must convince external reviewers and the RCSA Cottrell Scholar Selection Committee that the applicant is pursuing an important and independent program of research that is likely to have significant impact.

The primary criterion for the Cottrell Scholar Award is that the proposed research will add to fundamental scientific knowledge in one of the three core disciplines (Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy) and hence, applied research without a significant fundamental component is not funded. "Applied research" is interpreted as any type of research aimed at developing known science into new technology, methods, or techniques, or the applications of methods and techniques to topics in disciplines other than the three core disciplines. Furthermore, as applications must include both research and educational plans, applications are not accepted if the research plan, itself, would be on science education. If unclear on whether a particular research area fits programmatic guidelines, please contact program director Silvia Ronco.

Educational Plan. The educational plan should identify a significant problem in undergraduate or graduate science education and offer a feasible strategy to address it. Main criteria for evaluating the educational plan include: (a) the originality of the proposal; (b) the potential impact in undergraduate or graduate science courses; (c) the potential impact in student demographics; (d) the applicant’s commitment to excellence in education; (e) knowledge of current science education literature; (f) assessment of the proposed educational plan; and (g) suitability and sustainability within the institutional setting.

Because each institutional setting is unique and has different needs, the components of a successful educational plan

RPB Challenge Grant - Fall Cycle

$300,000
4 years

RPB Challenge Grants encourage growth for newly emerging eye research programs and recently appointed department chairs at non-grantee ophthalmology departments at university-connected medical schools. The Challenge Grant is designed to enhance a department's environment and capability to conduct vision research, to facilitate collaborative studies of the visual system, and to attract researchers to the department. The Challenge Grant is intended for ophthalmology departments which have not received RPB departmental support (Unrestricted or Challenge) in the last four (4) years. An existing base of high-quality National Eye Institute (NEI) or vision-related research grants is a primary requirement. The department must be in an upward trajectory and strong faculty/professional development programs must be in place. A commitment by the medical school to match the RPB Challenge Grant is required. Payments of these unrestricted $300,000 grants can continue for up to four (4) years upon approval of a two-year substantive progress report. After four (4) years, chairs will then be invited to apply for an Unrestricted Grant. Should the chair step down during the four-year Challenge Grant, RPB may provide one additional payment before the grant is terminated. Department chairs receiving an Unrestricted Grant and individual members of their faculties are not eligible to apply for this grant.

New chairs should speak with RPB prior to the submission of a Challenge Grant application (contact Pattie Moran). We suggest new chairs be active at least six months prior to submitting an application. If a proposal for a Challenge Grant is rejected, the chair must wait two years before reapplying, so RPB strongly encourages thorough preparation and planning before an application is submitted.

The spring cycle application deadline for the RPB Challenge Grant is January 10. The fall cycle application deadline is July 1. (If the application deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, consider the following business day the deadline.) The application forms for this award are not available online. Contact Pattie Moran to obtain the Challenge Grant application forms.

Therapeutic Approaches

Gene and Cell Therapy Strategies for Myhre Syndrome: Prime Gene Editing Strategies or Cell Therapy

$450,000
3 years

The objective of this RFP is to identify promising gene and cell therapies that have the potential to dramatically reduce pathologic burden in MS patients. Potential areas of interest include:

• Gene Editing: MS-identified pathogenic variants are limited to missense single nucleotide mutations SMAD4 I500V/T/M/L and R496C. MS is autosomal dominant, usually de novo, with a gain of function. Haploinsufficiency and loss of function of SMAD4 are highly pathogenic and push for a gene-editing therapeutic approach. Proposals using prime gene editing strategies would be preferred.

• Fibrosis Cell/Gene therapy: Fibroproliferative reactivity is one of the threats and burdens of MS patients, and efficient therapeutic options in anti-fibrosis remain a major challenge for the treatment of MS. Proposals aimed at developing innovative therapeutics, other than the use of small molecules capable of

meeting these challenges are of significant interest.

KEY SELECTION CRITERIA

• Innovative and transformative research: Novel non-small molecule approaches with a strong scientific rationale that could advance the development of a therapeutic strategy to ‘cure’ the disease or address fibrosis.

Early

Launched in 2021, the Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children's Mental Health Innovation Awards initiative aims to identify and fund mental healthcare solutions for children and young adults across the United States. This program specifically addresses the lack of both private and public investment in children’s mental health and of effective ways to connect innovative ideas with capital. The resulting systemic funding gap has only increased with the deepening crisis in children’s mental health due to COVID-19-related repercussions and ongoing social injustice issues.


We are looking for new or piloted projects from direct-service organizations that will help address the far-reaching challenge of stress, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues in children and young adults on a national or local level in the U.S. Projects must tackle specific issues and address unmet needs, with a goal of reducing stigma, increasing access to care, improving equity in mental health, enabling early identification/prevention or enhancing intervention, especially among disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. Organizations that are shortlisted for selection must agree to applicable terms and conditions in order to be eligible for final selection and awarding of any grants.

Fanconi Cancer Foundation-AACR NextGen Grant for Transformative Cancer Research

$450,000
3 years

The Fanconi Cancer Foundation-AACR NextGen Grant for Transformative Cancer Research represents the AACR’s flagship funding initiative to stimulate highly innovative research from young investigators. This grant mechanism is intended to promote and support creative, paradigm-shifting cancer research that may not be funded through conventional channels. It is expected that this grant will catalyze significant scientific discoveries and help talented young investigators gain scientific independence.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in any one of 22 FA genes, which are integral to the FA/BRCA DNA repair pathway and include the breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. The disease is marked by congenital abnormalities, bone marrow failure, and a high risk of solid tumors and leukemia. Individuals with FA have a hundreds- to thousands-fold increased risk of developing squamous cell cancers of the head and neck, esophagus, and anogenital regions, in addition to an elevated risk for other solid tumors.

Advancements in stem cell transplants have extended the lifespan of individuals with FA, transforming the perception of the disease from only a childhood disease characterized by bone marrow failure. FA is now recognized as a cancer predisposition syndrome, with mortality from cancer emerging as the primary cause of death for young adults with FA. This is due to the challenges inherent in treating tumors in a population with underlying defects in the FA/BRCA DNA repair pathway.

The study of the FA/BRCA DNA repair pathway and its link to FA-associated cancers not only yields critical insights into the disease itself, but also enhances our understanding of the intricate interplay between DNA repair mechanisms and cancer. Research on FA-associated cancers holds promise for informing the development of novel diagnostics, preventive strategies, and therapies for people with FA, as well as for individuals in the general population diagnosed with sporadic cancers of the same type.

The Fanconi Cancer Foundation supports an FA research resource repository in parternship with the Oregon Health Sciences University that provides antibodies and cell lines to researchers internationally. The repository also provides information and access to investigators in support of active sharing of FA research resources created with FCF funding.

Applications are invited from researchers currently working in the FA field as well as investigators with experience in other areas of cancer or biomedical research with an interest in studying FA-associated cancers.

E.W. "AI" Thrasher Awards-Spring 2025

$550,000
3 years

E.W. "Al" Thrasher Awards focus on projects that are changing pediatric clinical care. Each award is a novel approach to problems plaguing pediatrics. The award is open to applications focusing on any disease or topic within the umbrella of pediatrics, both in and outside the United States. 

Ideal applications for the Thrasher Award address significant health problems, offering the potential for practical solutions to these problems. Typically, the primary outcome is a health outcome in children. Solutions should be innovative and have the potential for broad applicability with low barriers to implementation. Projects with a shorter distance to clinical applicability are given priority.​ Hypothesis-driven research is critical, exploratory, or hypothesis-generating research will not be competitive. 

For projects focused on improving disease diagnosis, please ensure that there are well researched, effective treatment options available to patients upon diagnosis.


Thrasher's focus is on child outcomes- we want to fund science that will make meaningful progress in the way diseases are diagnosed and treated. Competitive grants often, but are not required to, focus on severe or high incidence diseases. The aims include child driven outcomes, and the proposals are far enough along in the research process to make a clinical difference within a few years.

Screening Improvement Program Award

$150,000
2 years

This request for applications (RFA) is focused on improving equity and expediting the early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis through uniformly accelerated newborn screening (NBS) that includes as a priority addressing the special needs of the diverse populations of U.S. infants. However, this RFA is not intended to support projects devoted to clinical trials/interventions.

NBS programs are organized as population-based public health services applying preventive medicine principles in defined regions to reduce morbidity and mortality from genetic disorders by pre-symptomatic detection of risk. The programs use dried blood specimens from newborns analyzed in central laboratories that are linked to clinical follow-up programs for diagnosis and rapid institution of specialized therapies.

The organization of NBS programs features a system of care that includes education, the screening test(s) per se, follow-up, diagnosis, evaluation/management, and quality assurance. The timeliness of diagnosing CF through efficient, equitable NBS can be challenging. Although guidelines for CF NBS published by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute state that the goal is for all infants with CF to be diagnosed and integrated into clinical care systems at CF clinics by 2-3 weeks of age, data stored in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry have revealed that many states are experiencing delays and not routinely diagnosing CF through NBS during the neonatal period, i.e., the first 28 days of life. The Foundation believes that the timeliness aspect of this care delivery challenge, improvements in equity, and all the other components of the NBS system can be enhanced by quality improvement (QI) projects.

Applicants are encouraged to refer to The Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence (SQUIRE 2.0) revised publication guidelines to see what is required for work on QI-focused projects to be published.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents (prior to the time of application), actively engaged in CF newborn screening programs, and involved in the second, third, and fourth components listed below:

Investigators in Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease (PATH)

$505,000
5 years

The Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease (PATH) program provides opportunities for assistant professors to bring multidisciplinary approaches to the study of human infectious diseases. The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for accomplished investigators at the assistant professor level to study what happens at the points where the systems of humans and potentially infectious agents connect. The program supports research that sheds light on the fundamentals that affect the outcomes of these encounters: how colonization, infection, commensalism, and other relationships play out at levels ranging from molecular interactions to systemic ones.


This award provides $505,000 over a period of five years to support accomplished investigators at the assistant professor level to study pathogenesis, with a focus on the interplay between infectious agents and their hosts, shedding light on how both are affected by their encounters. Associate professors may not apply. This is a career development award for individual investigators and does not support collaborative teams.


The awards are intended to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to pursue new avenues of inquiry and higher risk research projects that hold potential for significantly advancing understanding of the pathogenesis of infectious disease. Researchers who start from the human host are appropriate applicants, as are those who start from the microbe or virus. Research on under-studied infectious diseases, including emerging diseases as well as well established ones, is encouraged. Work on fungal, protozoan, and metazoan diseases and emerging infections is especially of interest. In addition, excellent animal models of human disease, including in veterinary research settings, are within the program’s scope. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. Work connecting pathogenesis itself to climate change is also encouraged. Work that additionally involves more elements, for example, vector biology, is very welcome.

The Artificial Intelligence to Accelerate Inclusion Challenge (AI2AI Challenge) is a global call for existing innovative AI solutions seeking scale to accelerate inclusion and economic empowerment. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, there is a pressing need to ensure that AI solutions advance inclusive economic growth, promote inclusion, and address inequalities for individuals and communities. With the launch of this challenge, data.org and the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, with regional support from Dasra, aim to foster applications focused on inclusive growth that are climate-aware, gender-equitable, racially sensitive, and locally informed, all while focusing on responsible AI principles and practices. 


  • he Challenge will employ the following key considerations as the design philosophy to modulate the application and selection processes to encourage applicants from communities and environments marked by systemic inequities and digital disparities:  Ensure that proposed AI solutions serve the public good to transform society for the better, uplift people’s lives, and help to advance economic growth for individuals in underserved communities – and do not further widen the digital divide in these communities.  
  • AI is advancing quickly and can exacerbate and widen inequalities. We seek proposals where communities are positioned as active drivers of the design and application of inclusive AI.  
  • To underscore Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) principles, we are seeking proposals from the diverse range of communities that are frequently left out of the AI for social impact conversation. 
  • The challenge seeks to democratize AI services and solutions for historically underserved populations. We are putting a holistic process in place to mobilize resources (award money, technical assistance, access to an enabling environment) to support organizations as they advance their AI solutions.

Cystic fibrosis results from the dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, which affects both bicarbonate and chloride transport and many different organ systems. Although most commonly described as a lung disease, CF also is associated with an increased risk of diabetes. Cystic fibrosis–related diabetes (CFRD) affects up to 50% of adults with CF and is associated with significantly increased mortality. The mechanisms by which CFTR dysfunction contributes to diabetes remain poorly defined.

To better understand the biological underpinnings of CFRD, we are soliciting applications for basic research projects on the topic. Topics of interest to the CF Foundation include — but are not limited to  the following: 

  • Exocrine/endocrine interactions including:
  • Absent/altered acinar cell signaling 
  • Incretins and enteroinsular axis 
  • Impact of exocrine pancreatic disease on endocrine pancreas

Gastrointestinal Manifestations of CF: Basic Science Projects

$450,000

Cystic fibrosis results from inadequate functional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, which may affect both bicarbonate and chloride transport in many different organ systems. Although most commonly described as a lung disease, nearly all people with CF experience at least one gastrointestinal (GI), pancreatic, or hepatic complaint during their lifetime. Studies have shown that the recognition and management of extrapulmonary complications is important for maintaining health in CF — including but not limited to improving growth, nutrition, and pulmonary function — but also has significant impacts on quality of life. 

The landscape of CF has changed significantly over the last decade with the introduction of CFTR modulating drugs that target the basic CFTR defect for nearly 90% of people in the U.S. living with CF. Although modulators have significantly improved health outcomes for many people with CF, we also are starting to realize the changing course of the disease and some of the complications that persist with treatment, as well as new aspects of the disease that people are experiencing for the first time. 

Some of the major GI complications/manifestations experienced by people with CF include: 

  • Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS)
  • Motility issues/disorders
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Climate Change and Human Health Seed Grants-July 2025

$50,000
2 years

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund aims to stimulate the growth of new connections between thinkers working in largely disconnected fields who might together change the course of climate change’s impact on human health. In the three years between Fall 2023 and Summer 2026, we will dedicate $1M to supporting small, early stage grants of $2,500–$50,000 toward achieving this goal.

We are mainly but not exclusively interested in activities that build connections between basic/early biomedical scientific approaches and ecological, environmental, geological, geographic, and planetary-scale thinking, as well as with population-focused fields, including epidemiology and public health, demography, economics, and urban planning. Also of interest is work piloting new approaches or interactions toward reducing the impact of health-centered activities, such as developing more sustainable systems for health care, care delivery, and biomedical research systems.

Another area of interest is preparation for the impacts of extreme weather and other crises that can drive large-scale disruptions that will immediately impact human health and the delivery of health care.

Hurricane Response Marine Debris Removal Fund

4 years

This year, the program will award up to $6 million in grants to projects that reduce marine debris from coastal habitats and nearshore waters of coastal counties in Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Puerto Rico and South Carolina impacted by the 2022 hurricanes Fiona, Ian and Nicole and Typhoon Merbok. This program will prioritize projects that provide dual benefits – both benefit for human communities and benefits for fish and wildlife. The program will use assessment and prioritization efforts conducted by local, state and federal response agencies or their designees to prioritize projects that will address marine debris in areas of greatest impact and most critical to prevent communities and ecosystems from further harm. 


Severe storms can cause significant debris in the way of capsized vessels, moved and lost fishing gear, large terrestrial debris such as structures washed out to sea and torn up coastal infrastructure like docks or piers. This debris can cause both immediate and prolonged harm to already impacted coastal communities in navigation safety, coastal and marine economic and cultural services, and potentially human safety and health. Marine debris can also have immediate and prolonged impact on wildlife through entanglement and ingestion and on habitats from scouring and smothering.


This program will prioritize projects that provide dual benefits – both benefit for human communities and benefits for fish and wildlife. The program will use assessment and prioritization efforts conducted by local, state, and federal response agencies or their designees to prioritize projects that will address marine debris in areas of greatest impact and most critical to prevent communities and ecosystems from further harm. The majority of funds are anticipated to support direct removal and proper disposal efforts although limited funding may also be available for assessment and capacity building for future response. 

All proposals must clearly describe how projects will support achieving the overall goals of the Hurricane Response Marine Debris Removal Fund, including:

Early
Middle
Established
Institutional

The Hurricane Response Marine Debris Removal Fund will award up to $6 million in grants in 2024. While there is no minimum or maximum expected award amount, funding request amounts should be appropriate relative to the overall scale and impact of the project.


As this program will award grants of Federal financial assistance funds, applicants must be able to comply with the OMB guidance in subparts A through F of 2 CFR 200 (OMB Uniform Guidance). 


Due to the relief nature of the funding and immediate need for project implementation, matching funds will not be required for this program. However, NFWF encourages matching contributions where possible to foster partnerships and collaborative implementation. Matching contributions consist of non-federal cash, contributed goods and services, volunteer hours, and/or property raised and spent for the Project during the Period of Performance.

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF)

Path to a Cure — Collaborative Research Grant


$1,000,000
3 years

Small molecule CFTR modulators that directly target the mutant protein are powerful therapies that will likely benefit 90% of people with CF in the near future. However, there is still a significant unmet need for people with CFTR mutations who do not respond to modulators, do not generate sufficient quantities of protein for correction, or block protein synthesis (i.e., premature stop codon mutations, splice site mutations, indels, etc.). To ensure all people with CF have access to effective CFTR-directed therapies, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announced the Path to a Cure initiative in 2019. 

Projects supported through the Path to a Cure: Collaborative Research Grant should be ambitious in scope and utilize cutting-edge technologies and strategies that have the potential to inform or translate into novel therapies to restore CFTR protein function by fixing and/or replacing the defective CFTR gene. 

Collaborations that bring new investigators into the CF research community are a high priority. A single Collaborative Research Grant proposal must have at least two -- and may include up to four — related research projects (each led by a separate principal investigator) that share a well-defined theme and overall objective. Proposals must contain sufficient preliminary data to justify support from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Total direct costs for the Collaborative Research Grant may not exceed $1,000,000 per year for up to three years. The application must consist of at least two projects, each led by an independent investigator. The lead institution may request up to $25,000 direct costs per year to support an administrative core, however, total direct costs may not exceed the $1,000,000 cap per year. An additional 12% of indirect costs per year may be requested.

The Grand Challenge welcomes transformative ideas that will accelerate efforts to address climate change and nature loss through the use of modern AI. The first round of the Grand Challenge will focus on sustainable proteins, power grid optimization, and biodiversity conservation — as well as other visionary wildcard solutions.


1) Sustainable proteins

How can we feed the Earth’s growing population without hurting the environment? Can AI help sort through millions of protein combinations to produce meat alternatives that are just as delicious but more affordable and with a much smaller environmental footprint? While the current generation of sustainable proteins may not appeal to all consumers, new applications of AI have the potential to help identify formulations and processing approaches to advance a new generation of delicious, affordable, and nutritious protein products. Learn more about sustainable proteins (PDF).

AOSSM Sandy Kirkley Clinical Outcome Research Grant

$20,000
1 year

OBJECTIVE: This research grant opportunity aims to honor the memory and spirit of the late Dr. Sandy Kirkley by providing start-up, seed, or supplemental funding for an outcome research project or pilot study. Dr. Kirkley was a passionate advocate for well-conducted randomized controlled trials that evaluate the efficacy of interventions in orthopaedic sports medicine. It was her strong contention that the field must "rise to the challenge of designing and implementing clinical trials that provide the same level of evidence in support of treatments as our nonsurgical colleague’s demand." It is one of her intellectual legacies, then, that our profession in general and AOSSM specifically embrace and support clinical outcome research.

RESEARCH PRIORITIES:

Clinical outcomes research in areas of study indicated on the AOSSM Research Agenda may receive favorable consideration for funding. Any “clinical outcome research” project that ha

Projects proposed for the BYI program should be truly innovative, high-risk, and show promise for contributing to significant advances in chemistry and the life sciences. They should represent a departure from current research directions rather than an extension or expansion of existing programs. Proposed research that cuts across traditional boundaries of scientific disciplines is encouraged. Proposals that open new avenues of research in chemistry and life sciences by fostering the invention of methods, instruments and materials will be given additional consideration.

  • The BYI program funds promising young scientists early in their careers who have not yet received a major award from another organization. Proposals that already have substantial funding will not be considered for the BYI award (see eligibility for more information).
  • Projects are normally funded for a period of four years. Grants are in the range of $600,000 ($150,000 annually) over the term of the project, contingent upon demonstrated progress after the second year of the award.

Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research

Engaged Research Grant

$20,000
Undefined

This program supports research partnerships that empower those who have historically been the subjects of anthropological research, rather than researchers themselves. Designed in alliance with individuals who have borne the impact of marginalization, these partnerships bring together scholars and their interlocutors in an effort to expand anthropological knowledge, combat inequality, and help communities flourish. The program supports projects that will make a significant contribution to anthropological conversations through collaboration and engagement.

Anthropological research involves forging ethical relationships. Researchers must acknowledge the contributions of interlocutors and compensate them appropriately for their labor and time. Projects funded by Engaged Research Grants go even further. Not only are interlocutors participants in the research, but they have an active role in determining the problems explored. This grant program targets projects that show greater potential when undertaken as a partnership, beginning with the formulation of research questions and extending to data gathering, skill sharing, scholarly communication, and public mobilization. Engaged research occurs in a broad range of settings, including communities, courtrooms, government offices, and laboratories. It results in findings that are meaningful and potentially transformative for research participants and others with a stake in the collaboration. Through this program, the Foundation seeks to demonstrate how engagement can foster innovation and further anthropological knowledge.

Knowledge for Freedom-August

$300,000
3 years

The Knowledge for Freedom initiative supports programs that invite underserved high school students to college to study humanity’s deepest questions about leading lives of purpose and civic responsibility. Grants of varying amounts, ranging from $100,000-$300,000 over a 36-month period, will be made to each funded project participating in this initiative. The size of the grant will be based on the scope of the project. Colleges and universities interested in launching Knowledge for Freedom programs are encouraged to apply for planning grants, ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 over a 6-12 month period.


The Knowledge for Freedom initiative is designed to be adaptable enough to reflect the assets and needs of each institution and coherent enough to create a community of shared practice among programs across the nation. All Knowledge for Freedom programs reflect certain common features: 

  • All programs bring low-income high school students onto a college campus for an intensive summer seminar in the humanities taught by college faculty and supported by undergraduate teaching assistants.
  • All syllabi include transformative texts in the humanities connected by ideas or questions about the nature of government, freedom, and democracy. We define transformative texts as works—whether ancient or recent—that have transformed the world and that continue to transform individual lives by the power of their ideas and expression.
  • During the following academic year, all programs offer formalized assistance with college applications and direct students in a civic engagement or public service project.

Education for American Civic Life-August

$300,000
3 years

The Education for American Civic Life initiative supports efforts to prepare students to become informed and engaged participants in the civic life of their local and national communities. Grants of varying amounts, ranging from $100,000-$300,000 over a 24-36 month period, will be made to each funded project participating in this initiative. The size of the grant will be based on the scope of the project. We expect this grant program will remain open for approximately three to five years.


The Education for American Civic Life Initiative is focused on funding in two particular areas: (1) anchoring significant questions in democratic thought in local history and community and (2) strengthening preparation for public service.

  • Anchor Significant Civic Questions of Democracy in Local History
  • Projects are anchored by a significant question concerning the past and present challenges of democracy in the community in which the college or university is located—whether this is a metropolitan center such as Newark, New Jersey, with a long history of successive migrations into and out of the city, or rural Virginia, site of a major Civil War campaign and the struggle over segregation and civil rights. Some of our partner institutions design first-year core curricula while others work within divisions such as an honors college or a pre-professional program. In both cases, faculty design a series of courses to ensure that students are prepared to be informed and engaged civic participants in their local and national communities. These programs explicitly help students grasp the lived experience—past and present—of their neighbors outside the campus gates as a valuable aspect of a civic education that builds on their education in areas like governance, history, literature, and law.

Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts-December

$350,000
3 years

The Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts initiative is jointly sponsored by the Teagle Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations to support statewide, regional, or consortial academic partnerships between public two-year and private four-year colleges to facilitate transfer and completion of the baccalaureate in the liberal arts.


We welcome proposals from regional and statewide consortia or associations of independent colleges working in partnership with community colleges and other appropriate bodies (e.g., state councils for transfer) for the Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts initiative. Implementation grants in the range of $250,000-$350,000 over 24-36 months will be considered under this initiative. Planning grants in the range of $25,000 over 6-12 months are strongly encouraged to bring together constituents from the community college and independent college sectors and to lay the groundwork for collaborative development of statewide, regional, or consortial frameworks to promote transfer into liberal arts baccalaureate programs at independent colleges. The size of grant awards will be based on the number of institutions involved and the scope of the project.

  • A faculty-led and faculty-owned initiative
  • The Teagle Foundation and Arthur Vining Davis Foundations approach the challenges of improving teaching and learning with the conviction that faculty must lead the way. Although the support of senior leadership and trustees is essential, it is the faculty’s responsibility to ensure that the curriculum is thoughtfully designed and well delivered to meet the needs of students, including transfer students. Accustomed to seeing themselves as a community of scholars, faculty members are encouraged by way of this initiative to view themselves also as a community of teachers who seek a better understanding of how reshaping the curriculum influences learning and success whether students matriculate directly from high school or transfer in as community college students . We encourage faculty to work together across departments and across sectors on a shared endeavor to promote transfer pathways for community college students aspiring to study the liberal arts.
  • A consortial approach that takes advantage of existing state transfer policy

Individual Freedom & Free Markets

$5,500,000
5 years

What human beings are capable of when free to direct their own lives and pursue their unique ends is awe-inspiring. Freedom allows people to build lives of meaning and purpose, and is an essential component of human flourishing. In turn, the freedom to explore, create, and innovate are what drives human progress, creating prosperous communities and healthy societies.

The Individual Freedom & Free Markets Funding Area supports education, research, and outreach projects to promote individual freedom, free markets, free competition, and entrepreneurship. Grounded in the ideas of classical liberal political economy and with a commitment to the moral equality of all human beings, we seek and develop projects that aim to advance freedom, widespread prosperity, and human flourishing for all. Whether by academic research, instruction, public outreach, or supporting debate on public policy, our grants contribute toward making the world more just, more prosperous, and more conducive to human flourishing.

We welcome projects on any of the above topics, but we are especially interested in projects that could contribute to one of the following themes.

1.Projects advancing current research in and scholarly engagement with the classical liberal tradition (and fields related to political economy and Politics, Philosophy, & Economics), building on the work of figures such as Adam Smith and Friedrich Hayek. We are especially interested in projects that bring together scholars from diverse disciplinary and ideological backgrounds and that engage with the strongest challenges to liberalism, such as those related to inequality and economic dynamism.
2.Projects that bring greater attention to the important role of basic political freedoms and explore how those rights are effectively maintained in pluralist societies. We seek to better understand the institutional environments most conducive to free and flourishing societies, and we welcome projects with a particular emphasis on the role of free expression, free press, religious liberty, and equality before the law.
3.Projects that explore market and enterprise-based solutions to poverty (domestically in the U.S. and internationally). We seek projects that help us better understand how markets can help the most vulnerable and marginalized communities, including projects that study entrepreneurship, identify and remove barriers to enterprise, strengthen property rights, improve the ease of doing business, and promote principled entrepreneurship.

For millennia, humanity has found awe and wonder in contemplating the cosmos. Today, scientists use ever-evolving tools to push the boundaries of our knowledge of the universe and our place and purpose within it.  In our Mathematical and Physical Sciences funding area, we support research seeking to shed light on the fundamental concepts of physical reality. We also explore the interplay between these sciences and broader human experience.

What is the nature of the universe that we inhabit? What are the most fundamental, microscopic constituents of physical reality? How are physical systems more than “the sum of their parts?” How do these various ideas come together? The John Templeton Foundation is interested in fundamental questions in the mathematical and physical sciences and how they might converge to form a coherent picture of physical reality.

We also want to understand the roles and implications of the sciences within a wider context of human purposes. How do discoveries in the mathematical and physical sciences challenge our ways of thinking and reasoning? How do cultures, institutions, or societies impact how such research is conducted and vice versa? How can we further inspire awe and wonder at the unveiling of nature’s mysteries?

The grantmaking approach of this funding area is to support work that engages substantively and critically with the sciences on themes relevant to understanding how humans navigate spiritual and scientific questions within our diverse social and cultural environments. Our approach prioritizes interdisciplinary collaborations, including philosophical or theological engagement with the findings and methods of the sciences. Supported work should draw from a range of intellectual, religious, and spiritual traditions and demonstrate exceptional promise to transform human knowledge or have high potential to meet critical methodological or conceptual challenges. Broadly speaking, we are interested in asking questions such as:


What can we learn from the world’s wisdom traditions about living good and purposeful lives?

How are religious beliefs, practices, and communities changing and being changed by the world today?

What does it mean to be spiritual and how does this impact our beliefs, values, and customs?

American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Foundation

Research Grant


$30,000
1 year

The ASID Foundation is pleased to announce the 2023 Research Grants to provide essential funding to address critical gaps in industry knowledge, advance design understanding, and transform the practice of interior design for improving the human experience. Up to three (3) research grants may be awarded, with each grant not to exceed $30,000. 

This year's Research Grant program has prioritized two (2) topics of interest. These topics align with the objectives of the ASID Foundation, engage ASID members and the profession, and offer an opportunity for continued research on topics previously funded, yielding greater breadth, depth and longevity of the work.

1.DESIGNING HUMANIZING ENVIRONMENTS FOR IMPERILED PEOPLE: ‘Imperiled people’ includes those fleeing not only natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, wildfires, and drought, but also economic and political upheaval. Well-designed spaces, temporarily occupied by this population in the midst of natural, financial, or political crises, can support this population and ensure greater resiliency during times of tension, disruption, disorder and confusion. Given that design should be used to positively impact lives, how can design create more humane spaces for populations of imperiled peoples? What attributes of environments can propel more humane alternatives?
2.ACTIVATING DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION IN DESIGN SOLUTIONS: Interior design continues to play a critical role in impacting the human experience. The COVID-19 pandemic unearthed many discrepancies in society, including economic and social inequalities. Given that interior environments have the power to positively, or negatively, impact our quality of life, how can interior design and its positive impact be available, accessible, and achievable to the larger population? What needs to be considered when designing environments to be more equitable and inclusive to diverse occupants? How can organizations use interior design as a tool to increase engagement of diverse populations of employees, clients and users for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion?

Character Virtue Development

$5,000,000
5 years

We believe that the cultivation of good character enables people to create lives of purpose and meaning. We also believe that people who practice good character are motivated to serve others and work for the common good. Yet, we still have much to learn about the process and practice of character development. The Character Virtue Development area funds research to advance the science and practice of character, with a focus on moral, performance, civic, and intellectual virtues such as humility, gratitude, curiosity, diligence, and honesty. We believe these virtues enhance human flourishing by helping all of us to create lives of beneficial purpose focused on serving others. Research we fund promises greater insight into the developmental science of virtues and character, including the identification of relevant precursors, correlates, and developmental trajectories, as well as the assessment of potential interindividual differences. We also provide support to organizations such as schools, religious institutions, and community organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate applied and translational research on character and virtue. Our current priorities include applied research and programmatic work on: 1.) Intellectual Humility. Our plans for this priority include, but are not limited to, support for the following activities:     Investigating aids and impediments. We fund research that aims to discover more about the factors that enhance and inhibit intellectual humility, as well as research that identifies practices and interventions that foster such humility.    Developing Causal Models. We will support efforts aimed at developing, consolidating, and otherwise improving causal models of intellectual humility. We are interested in further understanding the causes and consequences of intellectual humility. 2.) Love is critically important to advancing the John Templeton Foundation’s mission to support human flourishing. We seek to strengthen the conceptual and empirical work on love. We are especially interested in research that engages more than one academic discipline. We will prioritize research and programs that focus on how individuals can extend love beyond their close relationships (e.g., coworkers, neighbors, strangers, and even enemies). 3.) Cultivating Character in the Digital Age. Advances in technology are rapidly changing the way children and adolescents learn and interact with others. How will these changes influence the development of character virtues? How can we strengthen character offline, to protect against potential negative interactions online? How might programs be able to leverage technology to promote character development? Can digital platforms be designed in a way that promote virtuous use? How can we promote the cultivation of positive norms and narratives in online contexts? To address these and related questions (and many more), we seek proposals from university partners, youth-serving organizations, faith-base

Cultural and Global Perspectives

$3,250,000
5 years

The cultural and spiritual achievements of diverse human societies are a common source of wonder and inspiration. At the John Templeton Foundation we fund research into those achievements and catalyze conversations about them to enable a greater part of humanity to create lives of meaning and purpose. Supported work will draw from a range of fields and intellectual traditions looking to better understand the role of culture in our lives, how our cultures change, and the ways in which religions, values, customs, and institutions might help address global challenges. We are currently giving special attention to research and projects in cultural evolution, Islam science and society, and areas where these themes might overlap, such as in science-technology studies.

We seek projects that take a cultural perspective to such areas as the following:

1.) Addressing contemporary global issues—for example public health, societal disruptions relating to climate change, upholding human rights and responsibilities in the digital age, and the effects of social polarization in governance, education and community.

2.) Drawing from the world’s cultures to enhance scientific progress, or for insight into how our self-conception is affected by the human-constructed aspects of our world. Some examples could include (but are not limited to) emergent technologies, the urban-rural dynamic, or bio-engineering.

3.) Research and programs cultivating Islamic perspectives on human flourishing and shared global challenges for the present and coming age.

4.) Potential applications, such as experiments in guided culture change, drawing on research and methods of either of these primary themes.

The National Park Foundation (NPF), in collaboration with the National Park Service (NPS), is issuing a Request for Proposals for a pilot grant program focused on accessibility in national parks. The goal of this grant is to improve trip planning and elevate inclusive park experiences for visitors with disabilities. The program will fund accessibility projects that provide information for visitors, build community connections, expand trainings, and improve access to equipment. The RFP is open to NPS entities and non-profit organizations.


NPF seeks proposals to expand accessibility information and tools at parks sites in order to improve visitor trip planning and park experiences.


Members of the disability community want and need better information in order to make their own decisions about whether they can access park facilities and programs meet based on their needs. Related, parks have been successful in improving access when engaged with local and state disability groups and associations, but resources and expertise are not always available to make these important connections. Local organizations can also provide and manage equipment (e.g., all-terrain mobility devices) that visitors need to experience their parks.

Therefore, the purpose of this grant opportunity is to provide funding for accessibility projects that:

The Private Higher Education Program Area supports colleges and universities that prioritize undergraduate education and emphasize the liberal arts. The Foundations provide grants directly to private colleges and universities as well as to consortia that support those institutions in their educational mission.


As a graduate of Amherst College, Arthur Vining Davis experienced first-hand the value of a liberal arts education. The broad training that he received as a student equipped him to play a number of roles during his career: scientific innovator, corporate entrepreneur, real estate developer, and orchid farmer, to name just a few. His recognition of the transformative impact of liberal learning led him to give regularly to numerous private colleges and universities, and to encourage his Foundations to continue to provide this support.


Although the Foundations fund a variety of programs in higher education, grants typically support projects that improve student outcomes or enhance faculty leadership. The Foundations do not provide grants to support capital projects or endowment.

Mr. Davis could see then what is equally true today: most Americans draw on religious convictions in ways that motivate their thoughts and action and inspire them to love and serve their fellow citizens. As one of the most religiously diverse nations in human history, the United States faces the challenge of nurturing an increasingly religiously pluralistic society while also moderating religious tension. Achieving these twin goals requires Americans to embrace a deeper understanding and appreciation for religious traditions other than their own, and to cultivate opportunities for collaborations and friendships across religious divides. Request Amounts Interfaith Leadership and Religious Literacy grants typically range from $100,000-$300,000, although the Foundations will entertain larger requests.

The Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts initiative is jointly sponsored by the Teagle Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations to support statewide, regional, or consortial academic partnerships between public two-year and private four-year colleges to facilitate transfer and completion of the baccalaureate in the liberal arts.


We welcome proposals from regional and statewide consortia or associations of independent colleges working in partnership with community colleges and other appropriate bodies (e.g., state councils for transfer) for the Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts initiative. Implementation grants in the range of $250,000-$350,000 over 24-36 months will be considered under this initiative. Planning grants in the range of $25,000 over 6-12 months are strongly encouraged to bring together constituents from the community college and independent college sectors and to lay the groundwork for collaborative development of statewide, regional, or consortial frameworks to promote transfer into liberal arts baccalaureate programs at independent colleges. The size of grant awards will be based on the number of institutions involved and the scope of the project.

  • A faculty-led and faculty-owned initiative
  • The Teagle Foundation and Arthur Vining Davis Foundations approach the challenges of improving teaching and learning with the conviction that faculty must lead the way. Although the support of senior leadership and trustees is essential, it is the faculty’s responsibility to ensure that the curriculum is thoughtfully designed and well delivered to meet the needs of students, including transfer students. Accustomed to seeing themselves as a community of scholars, faculty members are encouraged by way of this initiative to view themselves also as a community of teachers who seek a better understanding of how reshaping the curriculum influences learning and success whether students matriculate directly from high school or transfer in as community college students . We encourage faculty to work together across departments and across sectors on a shared endeavor to promote transfer pathways for community college students aspiring to study the liberal arts.

We seek to collaborate with and support nonprofit organizations that leverage evidence-informed programs and services to help local veterans feel stable where they live and ultimately create positive impact on their mental health. This includes underserved populations such as women, Hispanic, and Black veterans.

For the first year, we are focused on investing in approaches that may leverage the Housing First model, but that is not required. We look forward to partnering with nonprofit organizations that align to at least one of these grant program goals:

  • Increase permanent housing available for veterans.
  • Improve affordability for housing for veterans through rental or mortgage assistance.
  • Enhance the offering of wraparound services for veterans transitioning from shelters.

American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation

Researcher-Practitioner Collaboration Grant

$35,000
1 year

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHFoundation) invites investigators to submit proposals in competition for up to six research grants of $35,000 for each partnership. The Researcher-Practitioner Collaboration Grant supports partnerships between academic or organizational researchers and clinical practitioners to conduct collaborative studies designed to enhance evidence for improving communication sciences and disorders (CSD) services. The funding can be applied to one- or two-year studies.

Applying evidence to enhance assessment and treatment practices for addressing the needs of individuals with communication disorders is critical in health care and educational settings. The ASHFoundation recognizes the value of strong collaborations between academic or organizational researchers and clinical practitioners to accelerate evidence-based practices. The goal of this grant is to encourage collaborative research that will be conducted in practice settings with the explicit aim of increasing knowledge that will improve services to individuals with communication disorders.

Proposed studies must address a clinical problem/question that has direct application and is compatible to practice. This grant is designed to support preliminary research that will lead to a larger-scale study. The research question may originate with the researcher or the practitioner, but be of substantial interest to both in their mutual areas of expertise. The collaborative effort is central to this unique funding opportunity.

In 2018, the ASHFoundation presented an introductory webinar for potential investigators to learn more about the specific requirements and application process for this new research grant. View the presentation slides [PDF], and frequently asked questions [PDF].

Note for 2022: In preparation for the grant submission and review processes, the ASHFoundation requests that potential investigators complete an Intent to Submit Form by March 2 to provide information regarding their proposed studies. When investigators log in to the online submission system, they will be prompted to complete the Intent to Submit Form. This step must be completed before proceeding to the proposal submission process.

AAS/ AASF Henri Ford Junior Faculty Research Award

$50,000
1 year

The Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) believes that diversity in experience and thought is essential for accomplishing critical changes needed in the field of academic surgery to adequately serve our communities and achieve health equity. Despite the rapidly changing ethnic and racial demographics of the United States, lack of diversity within the physician workforce – and particularly in academic surgery – remains a significant public health concern. We recognize our obligation to address this issue as we continue to deliver care to an increasingly diverse patient population.

Recent events have highlighted that our efforts thus far have been insufficient, but have strengthened our commitment to changing this status quo.

This commitment complements the mission of the Association for Academic Surgery Foundation (AASF) and led to the creation of the Henri Ford Junior Faculty Research Award named in honor of Dr. Ford, the first Black president of the AAS. Dr. Ford has set the bar for excellence in academic surgery and for this, we honor him.


Dr. Ford has left an indelible impact on academic surgery and on the AAS and AASF. He was born in Haiti and moved to the United States at age 14, excelling in school despite speaking no English when he first arrived. Dr. Ford graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Medical School and then completed his surgical internship and residency at Weill Cornell Medical College. 

Dr. Ford is currently Dean and Chief Academic Officer of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He previously served as Surgeon in Chief at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Vice Dean for Medical Education at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.

Crohn's & Colitis Foundation

IBD Therapeutics Incubator

$1,500,000
3 years

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation (Foundation) is dedicated to addressing the unmet needs of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The goal of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to support research to create new therapeutic product opportunities derived from breakthrough academic research, which has identified novel and differentiated drug targets for the treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

 

Under the IBD Therapeutics Incubator program, the Foundation will partner with academic researchers and a specialized contract research organization (CRO) to provide drug discovery and development resources to generate a drug discovery preclinical package, that can be further advanced by larger venture investors and pharmaceutical/biotech companies, into new therapeutic products to address medical unmet needs of patients with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

 

Specifically, this incubator-like mechanism enables the advancement of novel and validated drug targets discovered in academia and for which academic researchers lack adequate expertise and resources for drug discovery and development. In this therapeutics incubator model, the expert drug discovery and development staff of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation will take an active role in designing and leading the project(s), in collaboration with the academic applicant(s) and CRO scientists. The R&D work will be mainly performed by the CRO, and if required, some of the research activities can be performed by the academic partner at their facility.

Dystonia is a multifaceted neurological disorder. Despite advances in clinical management and research, the diagnosis of dystonia continues to be, far too often, delayed or missed. Although treatment options have expanded with the recent approval of botulinum neurotoxins and the success of deep brain stimulation, patients with dystonia continue to report difficulties in locating physicians who know how to evaluate their individual needs and to develop an appropriate treatment plan. In addition, there is a great need for better understanding of the disorder in its various clinical manifestations and for the development of better treatments. This emphasizes the urgent need for training more experts in dystonia, which can be best achieved by additional fellowship training in movement disorders with special emphasis on dystonia.

DMRF is pleased to offer one-year clinical fellowships to support the training of exceptionally qualified physicians in preparation for their clinical and/or research career in movement disorders with emphasis on dystonia and a special competence in use of botulinum toxins.

New research from the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative uncovers the unfortunate consequences this lack of access has on the narratives told on screen. As a partner on this research, Pillars Fund is making a commitment to invest in Muslim artists who can shift the lens through which our stories are told to one that is complex, accurate, and honest.

The Pillars Artist Fellowship—created by Pillars in partnership with Riz Ahmed and Left Handed Films—champions and mentors Muslim directors and writers whose presence behind the screen will be game-changing for the film and television industries. In addition to an unrestricted award of $25,000, each fellow will receive mentorship from industry experts on how to navigate the business of Hollywood, professional development and creative guidance in their fields, and access to a trailblazing advisory committee of award-winning Muslim actors, directors, producers and writers.

Curatorial Research Fellowship


$50,000
2 years

Proposals are accepted from 501c3 arts organizations on behalf of curators at any stage of their careers, with or without institutional affiliation, working towards projects that will manifest at least two years after a grant is made.

A letter of support from the director of the sponsoring organization must accompany the proposal.

Grants are up to $50,000 and are intended to cover expenses incurred during the research and development stage of an exhibition, public-facing project, or other visual arts-based initiative that contributes in an original way to contemporary visual arts discourse

Proposals should present the topic for which research is being undertaken in narrative form. It can be helpful to discuss the origin of the applicant’s interest in the topic, the work undertaken to date; it is expected that projects will evolve over the course of the research and outcomes need not be predicted.

It is important to situate the research project in relation to historical and contemporary art precedents and practices

Strong proposals explore topics that are understudied and artists whose practices (or aspects of whose practices) are experimental, hard to categorize, and otherwise less well known to the general public.

Multi-year Program Support

$100,000
2 years

Proposals are accepted for two years of visual arts programming. This can include exhibitions, residencies, public art works, screenings, performances, lectures, publications, mentorships and other professional development opportunities for artists.

Grants range from $60,000-$100,000 and should represent no more than 25% of an organization’s annual operating budget.

Proposals should start off with a description of the organization that is applying. Please give a holistic picture of the opportunities it provides to artists and describe what makes an artist’s experience there unique.

Describe the process by which artists are selected or invited to work with the organization. Is there a curator or visual arts director? Please name them. Is there an advisory board? Who is on it? Is there an open call for artists? A nominating process? An array of ways an artist might approach the organization?

Indicate if there is a particular population of artists being served. Is the focus on emerging artists? Mid-career artists? Artists whose practices have been marginalized in the mainstream art world? Artists with experimental, hard to categorize practices?

Proposals should encompass all programs – not single out specific program streams for funding – and these programs should be up and running. Brand new initiatives are unlikely to be funded until they have had a few trial runs. This allows the description of the opportunities they provide to artists to be concrete and based on experience.

CCCC Emergent Researcher Awards

$10,000
2 years

As teachers and scholars within the discipline and within CCCC undertake increasingly complex research projects, the nature of grant applications submitted to CCCC for research funding has changed. A greater number are submitted each year. But more important, the quality of these applications has improved considerably, and the types of projects for which funding is being sought are more diverse. As an organization, CCCC is committed to supporting the diversity of applicants, projects, and research strategies included in these awards. The CCCC Emergent Researcher Awards reflect this commitment and are intended to invest in our organization’s members by rewarding and supporting early-career researchers, especially

  • faculty/instructors who have not had the opportunity to engage in funded research, and
  • faculty/instructors who do not have support for research within their institutions.

Only researchers who have not received previous funding from CCCC for research are eligible to apply for these awards. In addition to research funding, the Emergent Researcher Awards provide mentoring support. All selected recipients (or recipient teams) will be matched with research mentors on their projects. These established scholars will have a successful record of mentoring and publication experience. Mentoring pairs will determine procedures through which they collaborate. However, the expectation is that the mentor will be available to consult with the researcher(s) at each stage of selected projects on issues ranging from design to methodology, writing to circulation.


As with the CCCC Research Initiative, the Emergent Researcher Awards are intended to contribute to CCCC’s efforts for the organization and its members to become a clear, trusted public voice on issues of writing and writing instruction. To this end, we invite proposals for projects that can contribute to or influence discussions about literacy and writing instruction in and out of formal education. The initiative also asks recipients to clearly address the impact their research might have on these conversations, conveying the implications of their work in at least two final products: one that is addressed to a scholarly audience of researchers and teachers in the field, and one that is addressed to a specifically identified more public audience.

Furthermore Foundation Grant (September)


$15,000
1 year

Furthermore grants assist nonfiction books having to do with art, architecture, and design; cultural history, the city, and related public issues; and conservation and preservation. We look for work that appeals to an informed general audience, gives evidence of high standards in editing, design, and production, and promises a reasonable shelf life.

The grants, ranging roughly from $1,500 to a maximum of $15,000, are awarded twice annually with application deadlines of March 1 and September 1. Funds apply to such specific publication components as writing, research, editing, indexing, design, illustration, photography, and printing and binding.

Book projects to which a university press, nonprofit or trade publisher is already committed and for which there is a feasible distribution plan are usually preferred. Recipients of Furthermore grants are located throughout the U.S. and abroad but mainly in New York City and New York State and its Hudson Valley.

Grant applicants must be 501(c)3 organizations; applications from individuals cannot be accepted. They have included civic and academic institutions, museums, independent and university presses, and professional societies. While grant recipients must have 501(c)3 status, the book projects assisted by Furthermore sometimes result in trade publication.

Recognizing the vital role cross-trained scientists will play in furthering biomedical science, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund

developed the Career Awards at the Scientific Interface. These grants are intended to foster the early career development of researchers who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research. The specific target group are researchers who have transitioned from graduate work in the physical/mathematical/computational sciences or engineering into postdoctoral work in the biological sciences. BWF’s Career Awards at the Scientific Interface (CASI) provide $500,000 over five years to bridge advanced postdoctoral training and the first three years of faculty service.


These awards are open to U.S. and Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or temporary residents. Scientific advances such as genomics, quantitative structural biology, imaging techniques, and modeling of complex systems have created opportunities for exciting research careers at the interface between the physical/computational sciences and the biological sciences. Tackling key problems in biology will require scientists trained in areas such as chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering..

Purpose

To enhance the integrated research and clinical training of promising students who are matriculated in pre-doctoral or clinical health professional degree training programs and who intend careers as scientists, physician-scientists or other clinician-scientists, or related careers aimed at improving global cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and brain health.

  • The trainee and mentor should collaboratively provide a thoughtfully planned, systematic proposal aimed at clearly answering an investigative question in cardiovascular, cerebrovascular or brain health research. (5-page limit). A fellow must have primary responsibility for the writing and the preparation of the application, understanding that the mentor will play a significant part in providing guidance to the applicant. Because the fellow receives only a stipend from the award, additional monetary support for the proposed work MUST come from the mentor's laboratory. Therefore, the proposal will likely be related to the mentor's currently funded work. The mentor should clarify the role the applicant played in developing the proposal, the relationship of the proposal to ongoing work in the mentor's laboratory, and how the proposal will contribute toward the training and career development of the applicant.
  • A new fellow may not have had adequate time to generate preliminary data; therefore, applicants may present preliminary data generated by the mentor. The assessment of preliminary data, whether generated by the mentor or the applicant, should be put into perspective so that bold new ideas and risk-taking by beginning investigators are encouraged rather than stymied. Submission of an application to the AHA with identical or significantly similar content as a submission by another investigator is prohibited. Also, the submission of an application to the AHA with identical or significantly similar content from a mentor to a grant program and his/her fellow to a fellowship program is prohibited. In such cases, both applications may be removed from funding consideration. If a grant application is submitted by the sponsor of a fellowship application, both applications may be funded if there is no duplication of aims.

The purpose of this program is to encourage the development of researchers in child health by awarding small grants to new researchers, helping them gain a foothold in this important area. The goal is to fund applicants who will go on to be independent investigators. The Fund will make up to 32 awards total with two funding cycles (16 awards each).

Research Interests

The Fund is open to a wide variety of research topics. We do not focus on a particular ​disease, but all our funded projects deal directly with children's health.

In the Early Career Award Program, the Fund is particularly interested in applicants that show great potential to impact that field of children's health through medical research. Both an applicant's aptitude and inclination toward research are considered. The quality of the mentor and the mentoring relationship are also considered to be important predictors of success.

Early
Post-Doc

Those eligible to apply include:

1. Physicians who are in a residency/fellowship training program, or who completed that program no more than one year before the date of submission of the Concept Paper.

2. Post-doctoral researchers who received the doctoral level degree no more than three years prior to the date of submission of the Concept Paper.

Extensions may be granted for parental, family, or medical leave. Please contact the fund to discuss your specific case.

While the award is open to all who are eligible, we especially hope to encourage applications from those in the United States who are part of underrepresented minority groups in research. More information can be found at https://www.thrasherresearch.org/diversity

There are no restrictions with regard to citizenship. The Fund is open to applications from institutions both inside and outside the United States. These eligibility guidelines were developed from the prospective of a US training system, we are happy to discuss eligibility under different training systems and encourage applicants from outside the US to apply.

The Alzheimer's Association recognizes the need to support the training of clinician scientists in Alzheimer's and all other dementias. For the purpose of this program, a clinician scientist is defined as an individual already trained, licensed and practicing in a clinical field that includes patient contact (e.g., neurology, psychiatry, geriatrics, psychology) or patient-related diagnostic studies (e.g., neuropathology and radiology).

Applicants who are with within 18 years of receiving their M.D., D.O. or Ph.D. (or equivalent) and have licensure for clinical practice, including postdoctoral fellows through Assistant Professors, are eligible. Positions higher than Assistant Professor will not be considered.

The areas of research that the clinician scientist proposes for funding are not limited to patient-oriented, human subject research, but may also include translational research specifically designed to develop treatments or enhance diagnosis of neurological disease. These translational areas of research include epidemiologic or behavioral studies, clinical trials, studies of disease mechanisms, mapping disease features or spread the development of new technologies and health services and outcomes research. Disease related basic science studies not directly involving humans or human tissue are also encouraged if the primary goal is the development of therapies, diagnostic tests, or other tools to prevent or mitigate neurological diseases.

The Alzheimer's Association feels strongly that the mentoring and involvement of researchers from diverse backgrounds and perspectives is essential to engaging cutting edge ideas and thinking in addressing scientific gaps for Alzheimer’s and all dementias.

The mechanism of the award is the individual research grant. The maximum allowable duration is three years (minimum two years).

Alzheimer's Association Clinician Scientist Fellowship to Promote Diversity (AACSF-D)

$250,000
3 years

The Alzheimer's Association recognizes the need to increase the number of underrepresented clinicians participating in clinical research. We anticipate that by providing this funding opportunity, the number of underrepresented physicians entering and remaining in clinical careers in Alzheimer's and all other dementia will increase.

The areas of research that a clinician scientist proposes for funding through the AACSF-D grant program are not limited to patient-oriented, human subject research, but may also include translational research specifically designed to develop treatments or enhance diagnosis of neurological disease. These translational areas of research include epidemiologic or behavioral studies, clinical trials, studies of disease mechanisms, the development of new technologies and health services and outcomes research. Disease-related basic science studies not directly involving humans or human tissue are also encouraged if the primary goal is the development of therapies, diagnostic tests, or other tools to prevent or mitigate neurological diseases.


The Alzheimer's Association recognizes the need to support the training of clinician scientists in Alzheimer's and related dementia. For the purpose of this program, a clinician scientist is defined as an individual already trained, licensed and practicing in a clinical field that includes patient contact (e.g., neurology, psychiatry, geriatrics, psychology) or patient-related diagnostic studies (e.g., neuropathology and radiology). 


Applicants who are within 18 years of receiving their M.D., D.O. or Ph.D. (or equivalent) and have licensure for clinical practice, including postdoctoral fellows through Assistant Professors, are eligible. Positions higher than Assistant Professor will not be considered.  

Post-Doc
Early
Middle

Applicants must be clinicians (clinical fellows, postdoctoral fellows through assistant professors; or equivalent positions) interested in an academic career who have:

  • Full-time positions 
  • Less than 18 years of research experience after receipt of their terminal degree
  • Licensure for clinical practice and evaluate patients
  • The Alzheimer's Association will make exceptions to the terminal degree requirement when the individual applicant has a full-time faculty position of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) or Associate Professor and is expert in the area of public health, social work, neuropsychology, legal, bioethics or a related area of psychosocial research

Specific for the AACSF-D program, eligible applicants have the same requirements as the AACSF-D program, but are an underrepresented faculty in biomedical and behavioral research on a national, international or institutional basis. The world’s low and middle income countries (LMICs) are a diverse group by size, population, and income level. Researchers from these countries are encouraged to apply.

In line with Ploughshares Fund’s organizational goals and priorities, our grantmaking and programmatic activities are focused on the following areas:


Near-term Steps: Drive policies and activities that help eliminate nuclear threats or address regional conflicts. This category will fund projects that support necessary near-term steps to: address the nuclear implications of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine (in particular, preventing the war from entrenching a narrative that nuclear weapons keep us safe); reverse modernization trends (with an emphasis on the cancellation/retiring of unnecessary and expensive weapons systems, like the B-83 bomb or the proposed Sea-Launched-Cruise Missile); advance arms control and diplomacy (in particular, maintaining the political space for future arms control efforts between the United States, Russia, and other nuclear states, when appropriate); and resolve related regional conflicts. In some cases, projects may focus on specific policy steps essential to long-term change. In other cases, projects may involve specific regional focuses with nuclear intersections. Among other goals, this funding area aims to support a broad emphasis on diplomacy-first foreign policy and an increase in the number and influence of voices—both civil society and political – that advance our mission.


Strengthened Community: Create a stronger, more resilient nuclear field. Advances in nuclear policy require sustained and focused attention from our community and the public to create the pressure and options to reduce and eliminate nuclear threats and build a more peaceful world. This area of funding will support the core organizations and individuals that the nuclear field needs to make a policy and cultural impact in both the short and long terms. It will also include targeted interventions—such as fellowships, diversity and leadership initiatives, and training in forecasting and systems thinking—that will help increase the nuclear field’s capacity and allow it to thrive. The goal is to build a nimbler, stronger community of advocates, scholars, and creative thinkers that will effect change in policy and partner with other movements.

Linking Early Neurodevelopment to Neural Circuit Outcomes RFA

$900,000
4 years

The Linking Early Neurodevelopment to Neural Circuit Outcomes RFA aims to bridge the gap in our understanding of whether and how developmental phenotypes caused by autism risk gene mutation lead to altered circuit formation and function. We strongly encourage proposals involving close collaboration between investigators of diverse expertise, such as developmental neurobiologists and circuit neuroscientists, in order to convincingly demonstrate causal links between disparate phenotypes in the chosen model(s).


The Linking Early Neurodevelopment to Neural Circuit Outcomes RFA will support research that aims to directly connect neurodevelopmental changes to ASD-relevant circuit phenotypes in order to advance our understanding of how ASD risk genes contribute to the neurobiology of autism. We invite proposals that will elucidate the impact of well-defined developmental alterations on the structure, function and/or output of neural circuits relevant to ASD phenotypes. To this end, experimental endpoints need not be behavioral readouts, but should be phenotypes that would reasonably be expected to drive alterations in function at the organism level (e.g., changes in synaptic connectivity or plasticity, or altered local or mesoscale neural dynamics and/or coding, ideally assessed with cell-type specificity). To facilitate rigorous assessments of causality, we imagine that successful applications will connect phenotypes at adjacent biological scales (e.g., from neuronal migration defect to aberrant connectivity or from aberrant connectivity to altered neural dynamics), linking across as many levels of analysis as possible within the time and budget provided by the grant. Because the goal of this RFA is to establish causal links between temporally distant phenotypes, we encourage dense and/or longitudinal sampling whenever appropriate, in order to rigorously characterize the relative timing and stability of the phenotypes of interest.

Competitive applications will provide strong evidence in support of the chosen phenotypic starting point(s) in the form of published or high-quality preliminary data, as well as a statement of the direct relevance of the proposed work to ASD.

While we envision many successful projects will take a “forward” approach (starting with a developmental phenotype and following it to circuit function), we are open to considering proposals adopting a “reverse” approach (starting with a later-manifesting phenotype and working backward to uncover its developmental underpinnings), provided that the motivating phenotype is well established and that there is a specific and well-supported hypothesis regarding its potential developmental origin.

Whenever possible, we encourage applicants to demonstrate evolutionary conservation of their chosen phenotypes. We also encourage, but do not require, that studies consider convergence in the function of ASD risk genes within their proposed framework. Because the work supported by this RFA is likely

Linking Early Neurodevelopment to Neural Circuit Outcomes

$3,600,000
4 years

The last decade has seen the discovery and functional annotation of numerous high-confidence autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk genes. In the time since, much effort has been dedicated to understanding how these genes impact nervous system development. A consensus has emerged that many genes implicated in ASD susceptibility impact early steps in neurodevelopment, such as the timing and execution of neural differentiation, migration and synaptogenesis, with such cellular phenotypes thought to be rooted in altered epigenomic and transcriptomic landscapes.


In parallel, SFARI has invested in efforts to characterize the impact of ASD risk gene mutation on the neural circuits underlying ASD-relevant phenotypes, with notable advances made in understanding the contribution of peripheral and central circuits to ASD-related sensory atypicalities, motor phenotypes, sleep disruptions and social behavioral deficits, among other phenotypes.


While progress has been made toward understanding early development and mature functional outcomes in isolation, studies causally linking disruptions of early neurodevelopment to alterations in ASD-relevant neural circuits remain rare. The objective of this RFA is to bridge this critical gap in our understanding of how developmental events impact later processes of circuit formation and function in ASD.

We envision that this RFA will bring together scientists of diverse expertise, such as developmental neurobiologists and circuit neuroscientists, to collaboratively conduct thorough characterizations of how early developmental events result in alterations to ASD-relevant neural circuitry in carefully chosen models.

Health and economic outcomes, post-Dobbs

$75,000
1 year

Abortion access is critical for the health and economic well-being of pregnant people and their families. While some of the immediate impacts of the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling have been documented, its impact on population-level health and economic outcomes are just beginning to be explored. These outcomes are particularly important to understand given the potential for Dobbs to further entrench health inequities for people whose access to care is constrained by systems of oppression.


To that end, the Society of Family Planning is offering the Health and economic outcomes, post-Dobbs funding opportunity. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to generate evidence on how the Dobbs decision has impacted health and economic outcomes at the population level.


We invite proposals that leverage existing quantitative data to document population-level health and/or economic outcomes of the Dobbs decision. Primary data collection will not be supported as part of this funding opportunity. Teams may explore outcomes at the state, multi-state, or national level. If teams intend to make comparisons between states, they must bring careful attention to the breadth of state-level policies enacted in the wake of the Dobbs decision (eg, bans, severe restrictions, policies intended to expand access).

Florida Blue Foundation

Maternal Health Grant Program

$400,000
4 years

Florida Blue has identified two priorities for the funding opportunity:

 

  • Priority 1: Improving Access to Quality Maternal Health Care Services: Women who do not have access to quality maternal health services may face higher rates of medical interventions, longer and more complicated labors, lower breastfeeding success rates, and potentially unsatisfactory childbirth experiences. Increasing access and programming to physicians, community professionals, birth workers, lactation consultants, doulas, midwives, community health workers, and/or other social support services are pivotal in enhancing health, contributing significantly to positive experiences. It not only improves clinical outcomes but also empowers women with knowledge and support and fosters confidence, autonomy, and satisfaction in their journey through pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood.
  • Priority 2: Perinatal and Postpartum Maternal Mental Health Support: Perinatal and postpartum maternal mental health support is critical for the well-being of women during and after pregnancy. This specialized care focuses on addressing issues such as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, toxic stress, postpartum depression, and other mental health challenges that women may face. It encompasses a range of services and interventions, including counseling, support groups, education programs, screening tools, and referral programs tailored to address the unique mental health needs of perinatal and postpartum women. These services aim to prevent and manage conditions, ensuring that women at risk receive the access and support they need for optimal health outcomes.

It supports research that goes beyond current work in bioethics to help resolve pressing ethical issues in clinical, biomedical, and public health decision-making, policy, and practice, and creates a community that enhances future bioethics research by Scholars and Alums.

Each year, the Foundation selects approximately three Greenwall Faculty Scholars to receive 50 percent salary support for three years to enable them to carry out a specific research proposal and develop their research program.

Scholars and Alums attend twice-yearly meetings, where they present their works in progress, receive feedback and mentoring from the Faculty Scholars Program Committee and other Scholars and Alums, and have the opportunity to develop collaborations with other researchers. Third-year Scholars are expected to help plan these meetings. Ongoing involvement of Alums with the Program provides continued opportunities for professional development and feedback, and engages them in mentoring of early-career Scholars. In addition, all first-year Scholars participate in a philosophical bioethics seminar series; additional professional development opportunities may also be offered.

ISHLT Multimodality Research on Heart Transplant and Patient Care

$40,000
1 year

The grant will fund research that tests the utility of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd- cfDNA) and gene expression profiling (GEP). The research will focus on the combination of dd-cfDNA and GEP, to further the use of multimodal surveillance strategies for heart transplant recipients.


Although rates of acute rejection have declined after solid organ transplantation, there is an unmet need to better define the molecular phenotype of rejection and provide non-invasive, precision medicine tools to better detect rejection. The standard-of-care for detecting allograft rejection is pathology-read biopsies, which suffer from sampling error, interobserver variability, and artefacts that result in often subjective and varying diagnoses of allograft rejection. Genomic medicine, including biomarkers such as donor-derived cell-free DNA may permit non-invasive and earlier detection of allograft injury and rejection, and may allow for quantitative serial monitoring of graft health and response to rejection treatment. Another genomic medicine technique for monitoring allograft function is gene expression profiling (GEP) of peripheral blood. GEP characterizes changes in gene expression (upregulation and downregulation of genes) that identify pathologic states.


GEP and dd-cfDNA, separately and in combination, show potential utility for monitoring allograft health and identifying graft injury sooner and more accurately than the standard-of-care. We seek investigators who will evaluate the value of multimodality testing for allograft surveillance through improved outcomes, reduction in mortality and mobility to patients, increased graft survival, improved quality of life and reduced costs to the health system. There is also scope for genomic medicine tools to guide immunosuppression and rejection treatment. Proposals that aim to determine if multimodality can improve outcomes through immunomodulation or guiding rejection treatment are also encouraged.

ACLS invites research proposals from scholars in all disciplines of the humanities and interpretive social sciences. Given the disproportionate effect the pandemic’s social and economic disruptions have had on emerging, independent, and untenured scholars, ACLS will continue in the 2023-24 competition year to offer these fellowships solely to untenured scholars who have earned the PhD within eight years of the application deadline. ACLS welcomes applications from scholars without faculty appointments and scholars off the tenure track.


In 2023-24, the program will award up to 60 fellowships. ACLS invites applications from scholars pursuing research on topics grounded in any time period, world region, or humanistic methodology. ACLS aims to select fellows who are broadly representative of the variety of humanistic scholarship across all fields of study. We also believe that diversity enhances scholarship and seek to recognize academic excellence from all sectors of higher education and beyond. In ACLS’s peer review, funding packages, and engagement with fellows, we aspire to enact our values of equity and inclusion.


The ultimate goal of the project should be a major piece of scholarly work by the applicant, which can take the form of a monograph, articles, publicly-engaged humanities project, digital research project, critical edition, or other scholarly resources. The fellowships support projects at any stage of development – beginning, middle, or end. This program does not fund works of fiction (e.g., novels or films), textbooks, straightforward translation, or pedagogical projects.

ACLS Fellowships are intended to help scholars devote six to twelve months to full-time research and writing. (See FAQ) The awards are portable and are tenable at any appropriate site for research. An ACLS Fellowship may be held concurrently with other fellowships and grants and sabbatical pay. For fellows with tenure-track academic appointments, the total amount of support, including the ACLS Fellowship, may not exceed the candidate’s 2024 academic year salary. Fellows without tenure-track academic contracts may teach up to one course per semester (if desired), or perform the equivalent of one course per semester in administrative work, during the fellowship term. (See FAQ) Tenure of the fellowship may begin no earlier than July 1, 2024 and no later than July 1, 2025. The fellowship term must conclude no later than December 31, 2025.

ISHLT Pulmonary Function Test/Spirometry and Co-Relationships with Lung Transplantation and BOS Research Grant | ISHLT

$20,000
1 year

Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) is a severe and progressive lung disease that occurs in individuals who have undergone lung transplantation. BOS is characterized by inflammation and scarring of the small airways in the lungs, leading to a decline in pulmonary function and respiratory symptoms.


Pulmonary function testing is a crucial tool for diagnosing and monitoring BOS. Specifically, spirometry and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) are the most used tests to assess lung function in patients with BOS. These tests allow for the early detection of changes in lung function, which can prompt early intervention and potentially improve outcomes.


Despite the importance of pulmonary function testing in BOS, there are still significant gaps in our understanding of the disease and its relationship with lung function testing. Therefore, further research is needed to identify novel biomarkers and better understand the pathophysiology of BOS, ultimately leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for patients.

ISHLT Noninvasive Biomarker Research on Lung Transplant Patient Care with Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA Grant

$40,000
1 year

The grant will fund research that tests the utility of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd- cfDNA). The research will focus on the utility of dd-cfDNA to measure of allograft injury and detect rejection for lung transplant recipients.


Although rates of acute rejection have declined after solid organ transplantation, there is an unmet need to better define the molecular phenotype of rejection and provide non-invasive, precision medicine tools to better detect rejection. The standard-of-care for detecting allograft rejection is pathology-read biopsy, which suffers from sampling error, interobserver variability, and artefacts that result in often subjective and varying diagnoses of allograft rejection. Genomic medicine, including biomarkers such as donor-derived cell-free DNA, may permit non-invasive and earlier detection of allograft injury and rejection, and may allow for quantitative serial monitoring of graft health and response to rejection treatment. dd-cfDNA shows potential utility for monitoring allograft health and identifying graft injury sooner and more accurately than the standard-of-care. We seek investigators who will test the value of dd-cfDNA for allograft surveillance through improved outcomes, reduction in mortality and mobility to patients, increased graft survival, improved quality of life and reduced costs to the health system. There is also scope for non-invasive tools to guide immunosuppression and rejection treatment. Proposals that aim to determine if dd-cfDNA can improve outcomes through immunomodulation or guiding rejection treatment are also encouraged.

Purpose

The purpose of this grant is to fund research that supports transplantation and immunology research by testing the utility of donor- derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) for lung transplant recipients.

Solar Radiation Management

$1,500,000
3 years

The Simons Foundation has launched an international collaborative research program designed to fill fundamental scientific knowledge gaps relevant to Solar Radiation Management. SRM is an emerging collection of approaches, including stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), marine cloud brightening (MCB) and cirrus cloud thinning (CCT), designed to modify the Earth’s radiative balance and cool the planet. Although reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations is the only long-term strategy to mitigate climate change and other impacts, SRM might be able to ameliorate some of the negative impacts this century. However, SRM also may pose significant environmental and societal risks, including stratospheric warming, ozone depletion and changes in rainfall, thereby affecting water resources and agriculture. At present, not enough is known about SRM systems and their potential impacts to allow informed decision-making. This call aims to help fill key fundamental knowledge gaps in the science of SRM.

Priority areas for this call include:

  • Environmentally benign materials discovery for SAI and CCT.
  • Laboratory physicochemical characterization of SAI and CCT materials and their interactions with light, clouds, atmospheric trace gases and with themselves or ambient aerosols, with the aim to improve microphysical inputs to existing climate models.
  • Approaches to minimize cirrus cloud formation, including from aircraft emissions.
  • Assessments of near-field (<100 km) atmospheric turbulence and its impact on SAI and CCT interventions, primarily through modeling.

A Simons Fellow in Mathematics must have a teaching or administrative tenured position at the same U.S. or Canadian college or university within the mathematics department at the time of application, throughout the course of the sabbatical research leave and in the term following the leave. This must be the applicant’s primary position. Applied mathematics and statistics disciplines are eligible as long as the applicant resides within the mathematics, and not statistics, department. Those doing primarily mathematical education research are not eligible. In addition, a Fellow must have an active, current research program. Fellows cannot simultaneously hold a Simons Investigator award.


Eligibility is restricted to sabbatical or equivalent leave-eligible faculty who wish to use the Simons Fellowship award for the purpose of extending at least a single-term sabbatical research leave to a full academic year without teaching or administrative responsibilities. The fellowship program will not support the extension of a full year of sabbatical research leave to an additional term. In order to receive the fellowship, you must be approved by your institution for a full year of sabbatical research leave, consisting of two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters with at least 50 percent of the year fully paid by the home university and no more than 50 percent fully or partly supported by the fellowship.

Research Grants (Spring)

$300,000
3 years

Research grants are available to established scientists of all ages working at accredited institutions in the United States. Applications will be judged on the scientific merit and the innovative aspects of the proposal as well as on the competence of the applicant. Research grants of up to three years will be provided. A renewal grant with a maximum of two years is possible, but it will be awarded on a competitive basis. Research grants will not be awarded to investigators who have already received, or expect to receive, substantial support from other sources, even if it is for an unrelated purpose. The maximum budget is $100,000 per year for the two- and three-year research grants.


The Foundation is currently interested in basic research in neurobiology, defined as follows: Invertebrate and vertebrate (excluding clinical) neurobiology, specifically investigations of neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other complex functions of the whole organism as these relate to behavior. The overall goal should be to better understand behavioral output or brain mechanisms of behavior.

Early
Middle
Established

The Foundation emphasizes the support of young scientists at the beginning of their careers and productive senior scientists who wish to move into new fields of interest. Consideration is given, however, to applicants of all ages. The chief criteria for support are the quality and creativity of the research as well as the commitment of the Principal Investigator (a minimum time allocation of 20% is required). The principal investigator must hold no less than the position of assistant professor, or the equivalent, in order to participate in the application process. The applicant need not be in a tenure track position but must be an independent researcher and have Principal Investigator status at his/her institution, usually construed as having lab space independent of another Principal Investigator.

The Foundation does not award funds to investigators who have substantial extramural funding, even if it is for an unrelated purpose. While it is difficult to assign a specific dollar amount to this policy and each case is unique, the Foundation currently defines "substantial" as approximately $200,000 per year (including both direct and indirect expense but excluding the Principal Investigator's salary).

Grants-in-Aid are awarded for a one-year period and do not exceed $30,000.

Applicants for the Grants-in-Aid program are reviewed and ranked together with the traditional research grant program. This program is not a pre-requisite to a two- or three-year research grant. The majority of the applications received are for a three-year research grant.

The Foundation is currently interested in basic research in neurobiology, defined as follows: Invertebrate and vertebrate (excluding clinical) neurobiology, specifically investigations of neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other complex functions of the whole organism as these relate to behavior. The overall goal should be to better understand behavioral output or brain mechanisms of behavior.

The Foundation emphasizes the support of young scientists at the beginning of their careers and productive senior scientists who wish to move into new fields of interest. Consideration is given, however, to applicants of all ages. The chief criteria for support are the quality and creativity of the research as well as the commitment of the Principal Investigator (a minimum time allocation of 20% is required). The principal investigator must hold no less than the position of assistant professor, or the equivalent, in order to participate in the application process. The applicant need not be in a tenure track position but must be an independent researcher and have Principal Investigator status at his/her institution, usually construed as having lab space independent of another Principal Investigator.

The Foundation does not award funds to investigators who have substantial extramural funding, even if it is for an unrelated purpose. While it is difficult to assign a specific dollar amount to this policy and each case is unique, the Foundation currently defines "substantial" as approximately $200,000 per year (including both direct and indirect expense but excluding the Principal Investigator's salary).

Implementation of Effective Shared Decision Making Approaches in Practice Settings PFA -- Cycle 1

$1,500,000
3 years

This PCORI Funding Announcement (PFA) is intended to promote the targeted implementation and systematic uptake of shared decision making (SDM) in healthcare settings, in line with PCORI’s goal of supporting patients in making informed decisions about their care.


For this PFA, PCORI defines an SDM strategy as an intervention or approach that draws on and presents evidence to inform patients of available treatment options and their risks and benefits, and either engages patients in a decision-making process with their clinician or promotes their ability to engage in such a process.

This initiative will support projects that propose active, multi-component approaches to implementing effective shared decision making strategies that address existing barriers and obstacles to uptake and maintenance, so that these interventions are effectively and sustainably integrated into practice. The SDM strategy must have demonstrated effectiveness on patient, caregiver, or healthcare provider decision making using widely accepted metrics; the corresponding implementation approach must have potential for use and scalability beyond the targeted implementation setting.

Applicants should ensure that the proposed project team draws on sufficient expertise in both SDM and implementation science. Projects must incorporate rigorous evaluation of the implementation of SDM approaches, as well as the impact of the SDM processes in the targeted settings.

Phased Large Awards for Comparative Effectiveness Research (PLACER) -- Cycle 3

$22,000,000
6.5 years

This PCORI Funding Announcement (PFA) invites applications for high-quality comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) projects that will address critical decisions faced by patients, caregivers, clinicians, and stakeholders across the health and healthcare community and for which there is insufficient evidence. Investigators should propose an individual-level or cluster randomized controlled trial of significant scale and scope for this PFA. The proposed trials should address critical decisional dilemmas that require important new evidence about the comparative clinical effectiveness of available interventions. Proposed studies should compare interventions that already have evidence of efficacy or are in widespread use. Clinical interventions (such as medications, diagnostic tests, or procedures) and delivery system interventions are appropriate for these studies.

This funding announcement anticipates that proposed research projects will require two phases of funding. The initial phase (feasibility phase) of funding supports a distinct feasibility phase intended for purposes of study refinement, infrastructure establishment, stakeholder engagement, and feasibility testing of study operations, including the ability to recruit and enroll participants successfully. Using the feasibility phase to establish evidence of an intervention’s efficacy is not permitted. Approval to proceed to the second phase will be contingent on achieving specific milestones and deliverables established for the feasibility phase.

Considering the scale, complexity, and scope of trials being solicited under this PFA, PCORI requires that applications include shared trial leadership by a data coordinating center to provide an independent role in study leadership, advising on the analytical, statistical, and data management aspects of both study phases.

Advancing the Science of Engagement PCORI Funding Announcement-Cycle 3 2024 October

$5,000,000
3 years
  • This PCORI Funding Announcement (PFA) seeks to fund studies that build an evidence base on engagement in research, including: Measures to capture structure/context, process, and outcomes of engagement in research
  • Techniques that lead to effective engagement in research
  • How these techniques should be modified and resourced for different contexts, settings, and communities to ensure equity in engagement and research
  • How engagement supports successful research, thereby advancing PCORI’s National Priorities for Health

Over the past decade, by requiring the engagement of patients and other stakeholders, PCORI has transformed how research is conducted. Such engagement is defined as the meaningful involvement and partnership of stakeholders throughout the research process—from planning to conducting the study, to ultimately disseminating study results.

Much has been learned about engagement from PCORI’s investments, yet significant evidence gaps remain. There is presently no consensus on how to define or measure engagement, and there has been little systematic study of which engagement techniques are most effective. Methods for engaging and facilitating the inclusion of historically underrepresented populations as study partners is a further critical gap.

Promoting Healthy Children and Youth Topical PCORI Funding Announcement--Cycle 3 2024

$12,000,000
5 years

PCORI uses the World Health Organization’s definition of children and youth, defined as persons between 0 and 24 years of age. Children and youth comprise more than 30 percent of the population and are the most racially and ethnically diverse age group in the United States. Individuals within this population face multiple challenges to their mental and physical health as evidenced by increasing rates of depression, anxiety, obesity and deaths due to injuries and drug misuse. The promotion of health for this large and diverse population requires interventions across the care continuum including supporting optimal growth and development, screening and prevention, treatment of acute and chronic illnesses and the transition to adult care. Compared to adults, available choices of interventions for children and youth may be distinctive and varied based on their stage of physical, cognitive and emotional maturity. Multiple systems and external structures also influence child health, development and functioning, and can facilitate or impede successful health outcomes.

To increase evidence that addresses meaningful decisional dilemmas faced by patients, families, clinicians and other health and healthcare community members, this opportunity aims to fund CER studies that compare interventions across the care continuum to improve patient-centered outcomes in children and youth. Applications may propose comparative effectiveness studies of prevention, screening, diagnostic, treatment and management approaches, and pharmacologic, non-pharmacologic and/or combination therapies, as appropriate. Studies may also focus on improving system-level strategies delivered in hospitals, clinics or community settings to improve patient-centered outcomes.

Special Areas of Emphasis

PCORI is particularly interested in submissions that address the following Special Areas of Emphasis (SAEs). The purpose of identifying these SAEs is to encourage submissions to these areas, not to limit submissions to these topics. Applicants addressing one of the below SAEs should identify the area that is best associated with their research approach.

1.Prevention and treatment of obesity
2.Obesity is a complex disease associated with sequelae that can impair a child’s well-being and quality of life during a critical time for growth and development. Rates of pediatric obesity remain high in the United States and disproportionally affect Black and Hispanic or Latino/a youth and those from low-income households. PCORI is interested in funding CER studies comparing evidence-based obesity prevention and treatment approaches for children and adolescents, including dietary, physical activity, lifestyle modification, behavioral, psychosocial, adjunctive pharmacologic or surgical, and/or combination approaches, as appropriate. Proposed prospective interventional studies should include a multicomponent intervention that utilizes combination strategies of nutrition, physical activity or psychosocial support,

Telehealth to Optimize Management of Multiple Chronic Conditions among Vulnerable Populations in Primary Care -- Cycle 3

$10,000,000
5 years

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is seeking to fund high-quality, comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) projects that focus on different approaches to incorporating access to and use of telehealth to optimize management of multiple chronic conditions in primary care, particularly among vulnerable populations.

Research Initiative Highlights

The COVID-19 pandemic compelled a rapid expansion of the use of telehealth modalities for remote care delivery. With this expansion of use, a clear need has emerged to identify the most effective, evidence-based ways to incorporate telehealth as part of routine clinical workflow to facilitate optimal chronic disease management beyond the pandemic and, specifically, among individuals with multiple chronic conditions in primary care settings. The use of telehealth modalities also has the potential to overcome barriers of distance and access to care, but future research should address the disparities that exist in access to and use of telehealth and ensure that any expanded use of telehealth ultimately mitigates, and does not exacerbate, existing documented health disparities among vulnerable populations (those who are elderly, rural dwelling, and/or low income; those in racial/ethnic minority groups; those with low health and/or limited digital literacy; those with physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities; those living in unstable circumstances; and/or those with limited English proficiency).

This Targeted PCORI Funding Announcement is soliciting applications that respond to the following question: What is the comparative clinical effectiveness of different approaches to incorporating access to and use of telehealth to optimize management of multiple chronic conditions in primary care, particularly among vulnerable populations?

Applications should focus on community-dwelling individuals with multiple chronic conditions and should be powered to allow for conclusions regarding one or more vulnerable populations of interest. Potential comparisons may include studying the comparative clinical effectiveness of telehealth modalities to optimize care delivery (e.g., utilizing telehealth to augment evidence-based models of care delivery for chronic disease management), engaging support personnel to facilitate telehealth use (e.g., strategies involving the use of interpreters), or comparing different state-level public policy regarding telehealth (e.g., regulatory changes involving payment parity across states that directly influence access to care and health outcomes). The focal setting should be primary care, but studies can incorporate home-based care and include specialty care as appropriate.

Applicants are encouraged to propose multisite individual, or cluster randomized clinical trials or natural experiments and are strongly encouraged to assess issues of intervention implementation with an aim of facilitating widespread uptake of findings after completion of the stud

Healthy Aging: Optimizing Physical and Mental Functioning Across the Aging Continuum -- Cycle 3

$5,000,000
5 years

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is seeking to fund high-quality, comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) projects that focus on optimizing physical and mental functioning for community-dwelling older adults and their caregivers.

Research Initiative Highlights

By 2060, the number of Americans over 65 is projected to reach around 95 million, making up almost a quarter of the U.S. population. The number of people of color among the older adult population is also projected to increase significantly. Many older adults live with multiple chronic conditions, with a disproportionately greater burden experienced by people of color. Most older adults, including those with multiple chronic conditions, prefer to stay in their homes and communities for as long as possible, a concept referred to as “aging in place.” Family members or close friends often serve as the primary caregiver to older adults and play a critical role in helping them age in place by directly addressing their care needs and helping them navigate a fragmented healthcare system. As the needs of older adults become more complex, the caregiving role also intensifies, often resulting in a detrimental impact on caregiver well-being. Currently, the healthcare system is not well-equipped to address these complex care needs of the rapidly growing and diverse older adult population in the United States.

The Healthy Aging Targeted PCORI Funding Announcement will solicit applications for CER studies that focus on different phases of the aging continuum and aim to achieve one or more of the following four goals:

  • maintaining function and independence
  • facilitating chronic disease management

AHA/AV Collaborative Sciences Awards in Single Ventricle Heart Disease

$2,250,000
3 years

Together, the American Heart Association (AHA) and Additional Ventures (AV) have established this jointly funded Request for Proposals (RFP) for the AHA/AV Collaborative Sciences Awards in Single Ventricle Heart Disease (CSAs). The AHA and AV invite applications to the CSAs to support multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research teams to address key knowledge gaps in the clinical sequelae of single ventricle heart disease (SV) and its treatment paradigm (i.e., the Fontan circulation).


We encourage a forward-thinking approach to research that is not constrained by long-held hypotheses and dogma, and that is conducted in an environment of trust. As such, we seek to bring together investigators who are enthusiastic about working transparently in a highly collaborative network – one that includes field experts working with investigators with no previous record of SV research, who prioritize innovation over safe bets, and who are willing to risk testing unconventional ideas.

Each individual award seeks to support between two and four research groups, and totals $2.25M in direct research costs, spanning up to three years. The 2 to 4 lead PIs collectively comprise the Core Leadership Team of each award. As part of this award program, we will create a “Network of Networks” in which all Core Leadership Teams are provided in-kind project management support in addition to all-expense paid bi-annual meetings and other networking opportunities. We anticipate approximately 8-20 total PIs to be part of this network. We anticipate funding five AHA/AV Collaborative Sciences Awards, for approximately $13.2M in total costs for our collective investment.


The AHA/AV CSAs are intended to foster innovative collaborative approaches to research projects that propose novel pairings of research teams from at least two broadly disparate disciplines – providing up to $2.25M in direct costs for teams of 2 to 4 labs each for projects lasting up to three years

Early
Middle
Established
  • The Core Leadership of each team should consist of two to four members, including a Coordinating Co-Principal Investigator and up to three additional Co-Principal Investigators (Co-PIs). 
  • Teams are required to consist of Co-PIs with expertise from at least two different disciplines:
  • At least one Co-PI must work in research directly related to SV as demonstrated by prior publications and/or biosketch.
  • At least one Co-PI must work in a divergent/disparate discipline (e.g., engineering, computer science, chemistry, mathematics, psychology, health law, etc.) and/or without prior focus in cardiovascular-related research.
  • Co-PIs must be independent researchers (i.e., must meet their institution’s eligibility to apply for independent awards). This award is not intended for individuals in research training or fellowship positions.
  • Co-PIs should adequately convey that they are of equal stature in the project. Any additional personnel included, beyond the co-PIs, are to be included as collaborating investigators or consultants.

Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome (MMIHS) Research

$30,000
1 year

NORD, with funding from the MMIHS Foundation, is accepting applications for one grant, $30,000 US per grant, for scientific and/or clinical research studies related to megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome.


Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare motility disorder of gastrointestinal and urinary tract characterized by a dilated non-obstructed urinary bladder (megacystis), microcolon and decreased or absent intestinal peristalsis. Affected infants may have an intestinal pseudo-obstruction, leading to bile-stained vomiting, failure to pass meconium, pain and nausea. Other abnormalities may be present such as intestinal malrotation, and children may experience bladder and kidney dysfunction. MMIHS is part of a group of conditions caused by pathogenic variants (mutations) in the ACTG2 gene. The ACTG2 gene encodes the gamma-2 actin protein that is involved in smooth muscle contraction. MMIHS can be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, but many cases are thought to be caused by de novo changes in the ACTG2 gene in the egg or sperm cell from one of the parents or early in development. No disease modifying therapy is currently available.

Exploring patterns of LARC use through mixed methods research

$125,000
1.5 years

Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are important tools for some people desiring to manage their fertility. At the same time, there is a long history of coercive practices around contraception in general and LARCs specifically, especially among those whose fertility is problematized within existing systems of oppression. Given this, it is critical to center the needs, preferences, and values of people using LARCs in order to uphold people’s reproductive autonomy.


Mixed methods research on patterns of LARC use can be used in service of this goal, bringing together quantitative data with qualitative data to shed light on how patterns of use align with people’s needs, preferences, and values. To date, much of the discourse around patterns of use has focused around the method (eg, effectiveness window), rather than the people using it. As such, the Society of Family Planning is offering the Exploring patterns of LARC use through mixed methods research funding opportunity. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to generate mixed methods research on patterns of LARC use that can be used to inform person-centered contraceptive care.


We invite proposals that utilize mixed methods research to describe patterns of LARC use among people in the US, with specific attention to desired duration of use. We hope that research supported through this funding opportunity will expand the evidence base around LARC use in a way that centers people using LARCs. As such, because quantitative measures of use may not be reflective of desired use, proposals should leverage qualitative methods to bring nuance to these data, exploring topics such as but not limited to: alignment between duration of use and needs, preferences, and values; ability to get method when desired; and reasons for or barriers to removal.

RFA Research on the Language and Messaging of Prevention and Responsible Gambling Programs-October Deadline

$437,500
3 years

The International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) invites investigators to apply for a three-year grant to study the impact of safer gambling messaging including its impact on gambling behavior and use of responsible gambling tools. The field of addictions has long recognized the power of language in treatment, public discourse and public health policy and has advocated for removal of negative, stigmatizing messaging to people struggling with addiction. At the same time, it is important that messages promoting safer gambling have the intended impact at reducing gambling related

harm.


In order to eventually create standards for companies and organizations that promote safer gambling and responsible gambling programs, we need empirical evidence to provide guidance. Applicants for this funding mechanism should consider incorporating the work of communications specialists and public health messaging experts as well as scientists experienced in research on gambling-related harms and responsible gambling. A successful application will utilize a community advisory board or community participatory engagement approach to developing and refining messaging.

Profound Autism Pilot Grants

$35,000
1 year

Past research has established that individuals with autism exhibit a wide range of abilities and disabilities and that those with challenging or problematic behavior, minimal verbal ability, and/or intellectual disability are demonstrably underrepresented in research. Their exclusion prevents generalizability of research discoveries and impedes our understanding of the supports and interventions they require to live fulfilling lives.The Lancet Commission on the Future of Care and Clinical Research in Autism determined that term “profound autism” should be used to describe autistic people who are at least 8 years old, minimally verbal or nonverbal, have IQ below 50, are not able to advocate for themselves, and will likely require 24‐hour access to an adult who can care for them for the rest of their lives.

In order to ensure that individuals across the spectrum are included in the research, ASF is interested in supporting projects that will either a)increase the opportunity for people with profound autism to participate in research or will b) identify and characterize the underlying biological mechanisms of profound autism, or will c) develop treatments specifically for those with profound autism. 

In addition, this RFA welcomes research broader in scope than the Lancet definition of “profound autism” to include research on severe and challenging behaviors including self-injury, aggression, and irritability, and research focused on children under age 8.

Investigators must include a letter of support from an advocacy organization involved in profound autism. These organizations can include Patient Advocacy Groups (PAGs) that represent families with idiopathic autism or with rare genetic syndromes that result in a high prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. Many of these groups are represented in the Alliance for Genetic Etiologies in Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Autism (AGENDA). Investigators may also partner or collaborate with groups like the National Council for Severe Autism (NCSA) or the Profound Autism Alliance. They may also choose to collaborate with a local organization or another advocacy organization that focuses on the needs of people with profound autism.

ACLS invites applications for Luce/ACLS Dissertation Fellowships in American Art, which support graduate students pursuing research on the history of art and visual culture of the United States, including all aspects of Native American art, and who are at any stage of PhD dissertation research or writing. ACLS believes that humanistic scholarship benefits from inclusivity of voices, perspectives, narratives, and subjects that have historically been underrepresented in academe. We also believe that diversity enhances the scholarly enterprise, and we encourage applications from PhD candidates from all degree-granting institutions in the United States. 

The program offers seven fellowships for a non-renewable, continuous nine-to-twelve month term to be held between July 2024 and May 2026. The fellowships may be carried out in residence at the fellow’s home institution or any other appropriate site for the research. The fellowships may not be used to defray tuition costs or be held concurrently with any other major fellowship or grant. The entire fellowship term must conclude before the fellow receives the PhD.

The total award of $42,000 includes a stipend and additional funds for travel and research. This program is made possible by the generous support of the Henry Luce Foundation.

Graduate Student

Applicants must:

  • be a doctoral student at a university in the United States in art history or a related field, such as Native American and Indigenous studies, ethnic studies, or African American studies. (Students preparing theses for the Master of Fine Arts degree are not eligible.)

Simons Collaborations in Mathematics and the Physical Sciences

$8,000,000
4 years

The aim of the Simons Collaborations in MPS program is to stimulate progress on fundamental scientific questions of major importance in mathematics, theoretical physics and theoretical computer science.


Basis for Awards

A Simons Collaboration in MPS should address a mathematical or theoretical topic of fundamental scientific importance, where a significant, new development creates a novel area for exploration or provides a new direction for progress in an established field. The questions addressed by the collaboration may be concrete or conceptual, but there should be little doubt that answering them would constitute a major scientific milestone. The project should have clearly defined initial activities and goals by which progress and success can be measured. The support from the foundation should be seen as critical for the objectives of the project.

The project should involve outstanding researchers in a range of career stages. Excellence of the scientific leadership is one of the main criteria in the selection process. The project should be organized and managed in a manner engendering a high level of collaboration.

Early
Middle
Established

Personnel: The collaboration director must hold a tenured faculty, or equivalent, position at a U.S. or Canadian educational institution, on a campus within these countries, with a Ph.D. program in the director’s department at the time of application. PIs and co-Investigators (co-Is) must hold a tenured or tenure-track faculty, or equivalent, position at an educational institution at the time of application. There are no restrictions on the department and/or discipline of the director or PIs/co-Is. PIs, co-Is and other collaboration participants may be from non-U.S. institutions. A co-I must be employed by or be affiliated with a PI institution or another organization participating in the project under a consortium agreement. Please see the foundation’s grant policies for further information regarding requirements and responsibilities of PIs and co-Is.

An individual may be part of more than one letter of intent (LOI) or full proposal, as long as all eligibility requirements are met. There is no LOI limit per institution or individual. An active PI on a currently funded collaboration project can be part of an LOI or proposal but cannot participate on more than one funded collaboration. Additionally, active Math+X Investigators cannot be a funded director or PI in a collaboration.

Institutions: Funding to U.S. national labs or salary support of scientists employed at these labs is not allowed. Scientists employed at national labs may be non-funded collaboration members, and collaboration funding may be used to support travel or local expenses related to the participation of the lab-based scientist in collaboration activities or to support travel and local expenses of students or postdoctoral fellows appointed at universities who work with collaboration members at national labs. For-profit institutions are also not eligible to receive grant funds.

Morton Cure Paralysis Fund (MCPF)

Grant - October

$75,000
1 year

Most research awards range from $5,000 to $75,000 and are based on one-year contracts. A second year may be considered contingent upon the grantee submitting a six-month progress report, a 12-month progress report and a continuation application that is favorably reviewed by MCPF’s Grant Committee.

MCPF encourages research grant applicants to seek support from more than one funding source. Where applicable, MCPF may co-fund projects that have overlapping funding requests approved by another organization.

Applications for research grants are accepted from American or international investigators located at institutions that have clearly established lines of accountability and fiscal responsibility. Applications must include institutional assurances regarding research on human subjects and/or on ani­mals and must be signed by the individual responsible for administration of the contract. Funds are awarded to the principal investiga­tor's host institution. If the PI moves after the initiation of the contract to a new host institution, all efforts will be made by MCPF to ensure the continuation of the specific research project. However, as a small organization, MCPF reserves the right to request reimbursement of our grant if the project is not completed. This provision will be in the contract the institution must sign prior to receiving the grant.

The intent of these awards is to promote inno­vative and groundbreaking work, not to provide ongoing, long-term support. Awardees are eligible to apply for subsequent funding, but such applications will be reviewed competitively.

The McKnight Neurobiology of Brain Disorders Award (NBD Award) assists scientists working to apply the knowledge achieved through basic research to human brain disorders, and who demonstrate a commitment to equitable and inclusive lab environments.

Each year, up to four awards are given. Awards provide $100,000 per year for three years. Funds may be used toward a variety of research activities. They may not be used for the recipient’s salary

Use of Award Funds

We are interested in proposals that address the biological mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric disorders. This includes proposals that provide mechanistic insights into neurological functions at the synaptic, cellular, molecular, genetic or behavioral level across different species, including humans and vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms. A new additional area of interest is the contribution of the environment to brain disorders. We are particularly interested in proposals that incorporate new approaches and in those that provide potential paths for therapeutic interventions. Collaborative and cross-disciplinary applications are encouraged.

Environmental Contributions to Brain Disorders

Early-life environmental stress is a powerful disposing factor for later neurological and psychiatric disorders. Studies show communities of color are at higher risk for these stressors, which range from environmental (e.g. climate, nutrition, exposure to chemicals, pollution) to social (e.g. family, education, housing, poverty). From a clinical perspective, understanding how environmental factors contribute to brain disease is essential for developing effective therapies.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is taking bold leaps to transform health in our lifetime and pave the way, together, to a future where health is no longer a privilege, but a right. RWJF’s Health Policy Fellows program supports this vision by creating a strong and diverse leadership in health policy committed to advancing health.

Health Policy Fellows is a nonpartisan program located in Washington, D.C., that engages midcareer professionals interested in increasing their expertise in health policy. We are seeking applicants with deep experience and subject matter expertise in a discipline that influences health. Applicants should be committed to contributing to the health policy field for at least 10 years after the fellowship. The fellowship strongly encourages individuals with diverse backgrounds, ideologies, and perspectives to apply.

During their 12–24 month placements, fellows will be full-time, contributing participants in the policymaking process with either members of Congress, a congressional committee, or in the executive branch. The activities during the fellowship—developing legislative proposals; organizing hearings; meeting with constituents; briefing officials on health issues—will advance fellows’ leadership skills in health policy and their ability to influence policymaking to improve health.

  • Exceptional midcareer professionals from academic institutions, not-for-profit organizations, or government (including military; U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs; U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps; and state offices who are not considered government officials under Section 4946 of the Internal Revenue Code);
  • Applicants must have earned an advanced degree (masters or doctoral degree);
  • In addition, applicants must have deep experience and subject matter expertise in a health-related discipline. Examples include but are not limited to medicine; nursing; public health; law; dentistry; economics and other social sciences (especially disciplines related to factors that influence population health, such as housing, transportation, nutrition, wealth, employment, education, and environmental and community conditions); health services and social work/behavioral health; and other health professions;
  • Individual candidates for receipt of award funds must be U.S. citizens, or permanent residents at the time of application. Because the RWJF Health Policy Fellows are placed in assignments in the federal government, changes in federal policy or law may necessitate that RWJF consider adjustments in eligibility and grant terms, as well as placements in the program.

Grant Cycle

$50,000
1 year

The TANGO2 Research Foundation (T2RF) research grants provides essential funding for seed or pilot research projects, fostering the exploration of groundbreaking research concepts. These awards support initial testing phases, allowing researchers to embark on smaller-scale endeavors. The emphasis lies in evaluating feasibility and refining methodologies, shaping the trajectory of potential larger-scale studies. Through this funding mechanism, we empower researchers to take innovative ideas from conception to a vital stage of validation, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and discovery. We seeks to fund rigorous, high-quality research studies in efforts to fulfill our foundation’s mission enthusiastically. 

T2RF funds two types of Research Grants:

  • Single-Institution – This grant supports a research initiative within a single institution that may or may not involve multiple research investigators and/or a multi-departmental research team.
  • Multi-Institution – This grant supports a collaborative research initiative conducted in conjunction with an institution(s) or with personnel not affiliated with the awarded PI/PD’s academic/research institution.

Endangered Archives Program

$150,000
2 years

The Endangered Archives Programme (EAP) seeks to preserve cultural heritage and make it available to as wide an audience as possible. To achieve this we provide grants to applicants to digitise and document archives. ‘Endangered’ means material that is at risk of loss or decay, and is located in countries where resources and opportunities to preserve such material are lacking or limited. ‘Archives’ refers to materials in written, pictorial or audio formats, including manuscripts, rare printed books, documents, newspapers, periodicals, photographs and sound recordings. The material can date from any time before the middle of the twentieth century, though archives that cross over to some extent into the second half of the twentieth century may be accepted if the majority of the material is earlier. It is one of our key principles that the original material remains in the country in which it is located.

Digitisation and digital collections

The Endangered Archives Programme primarily funds digitisation projects to record and preserve the content of archives. Our projects create digital material in a format that facilitates long-term preservation, and at least two copies of these are stored: a primary copy that remains at an appropriate repository in the country of origin, and a secondary copy held at the British Library. Applicants must ensure that the appropriate permissions are gained before embarking on the project, as copyright in the material will remain with the copyright holder. The EAP website provides access to these digital collections for research, education and enjoyment. We do not however distribute high resolution, print quality versions of images, referring requests for these back to the original holders of the archive. We also seek to ensure that the values of the people and communities from which the archives have come are respected and that they are consulted in any significant re-use of the digital material.

How EAP projects work

The Endangered Archives Programme welcomes applications for project funding to investigate, digitise and preserve the content of archives. We expect projects to enhance local capability to manage and preserve these collections into the future. Therefore all applications for funding must involve at least one archival partner in the country where the material is based, training should be provided for local staff, and digitisation equipment must remain in the country. Applications are made via a host institution, such as a university, library or government archive which administers the award. The host institution can be based anywhere in the world, though applications from those based in the project country are particularly welcomed.


Institutional

Material must be pre-20th century or early 20th century.

Kaiser Permanente Center of Gun Violence Research and Education Spring 2024

$600,000
3 years
Spring 2024 Funding Opportunity

The Center seeks to broaden the field of gun violence research to include more researchers and organizations that work closely with communities affected by gun violence. The Spring 2024 Funding Opportunity aims to invest in efforts that advance evidence for interventions that reduce the incidence and impact of community gun violence and firearm suicide and promote well-being and healing where it is needed most.

Why:

There is an urgent need for better solutions to prevent community gun violence and firearm suicide and minimize the indelible impact it has on all communities, especially communities of color. There is also an urgent need for evidence on what works and for communities to have a more prominent role in leading and producing this knowledge.

Who:

The Center’s Spring 2024 Funding Opportunity seeks to support individuals, institutions, and organizations that intend to engage or are already engaged in research on gun violence prevention. It will also support projects that educate and change narratives regarding gun violence, focused on the public health approach. Funding support will be prioritized for organizations led by or meaningfully serving communities disproportionately impacted by gun violence.

CFF/NIH K-Unfunded Award

$160,000
2 years

In an effort to assure that all meritorious cystic fibrosis-related research is supported, and to support the career development of CF-focused researchers, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has developed the CF Foundation/NIH K-Unfunded Award mechanism to provide bridge funding for well-qualified applicants. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation does not intend to assume the role of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other governmental funding agencies, but instead wishes to ensure that the momentum in CF research and development of a cohort of CF-focused researchers are not irreversibly slowed due to budget constraints.

The CFF/NIH K-Unfunded Award offers a temporary mechanism for supporting highly meritorious K-award applicants until NIH funding can be obtained. The Foundation will continue to vigorously encourage the NIH to assume support of meritorious CF-focused projects and investigators.

To be considered for this program, applications clearly relevant to advancing the Foundation mission must have been submitted to NIH as a K01, K08, K22, K23, K24, K25 or K99/R00 application. The application must have been reviewed by an NIH study section and presented to an institute council within 12 months of applying for Foundation support.

If awarded, a revised application must be submitted to the NIH within one year of receiving the Foundation award.

The CF Foundation offers funding of up to $80,000 per year for up to two years (direct costs only).

The only predoctoral award dedicated exclusively to architectural scholarship, the Carter Manny Award recognizes emerging scholars whose work promises to challenge and reshape contemporary discourse and impact the field at large. Eligible dissertation projects must focus on architecture, though scholarly investigations may be grounded in a range of academic disciplines and fields of inquiry that align with the mission of the Graham Foundation. These include: architecture and architectural history; art and art history; design; engineering; landscape architecture; urbanism; and other related fields. (See the Overview of our grant programs). The award assists students enrolled in graduate programs in architecture, art history, the fine arts, humanities, and the social sciences working on architecture topics.

Each year the Graham Foundation offers two Carter Manny Awards: one Research Award for a student at the research stage of the doctoral dissertation and one Writing Award for a student at writing stage of the doctoral dissertation. The Research Award is acknowledged with up to $15,000 and the Writing Award is acknowledged with up to $20,000.

The Carter Manny Award applications are reviewed by a diverse panel of recognized scholars in the fields of inquiry represented by the award.

The Graham Foundation offers this prestigious annual award in honor of Carter H. Manny (1918–2017) and his long and distinguished service to the Graham Foundation. Manny served the Foundation since its inception in 1956, first as a trustee, then as the director from 1971, and after his retirement in 1993, as director emeritus.

Graduate Student

PhD students who are presently candidates for a doctoral degree are eligible to apply.

  • Students must be nominated by their department to apply for the Carter Manny Award.
  • A department may nominate up to two candidates: one for the Research Award and one for the Writing Award.
  • At the time of application, students must have completed all requirements for the PhD except the dissertation and have had their dissertation proposals formally approved by their academic departments.
  • A student may reapply for the Carter Manny Award if a previous application was not successful. Due to limited funds, a student who received a Research Award or a Writing Award is not eligible to apply for another Carter Manny Award in subsequent years.
  • The award is open to students officially enrolled in schools in the United States and Canada, regardless of citizenship.

Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research

Conference and Workshop Grants - Anthropology

$20,000
1 year

This grant program supports meetings and events that promote the development of inclusive communities of anthropologists and advance significant and innovative research. Conferences that we support are public events directed at large audiences of anthropologists. We prioritize scholarly gatherings that bring together members of large, international anthropological organizations. Workshops that we support are closed meetings focused on pressing topics in anthropology. Small groups of scholars gather for several days to work intensively on particular themes. Our aim is to help organizers make these conferences and workshops more inclusive and accessible by covering costs for scholars who might not otherwise be able to attend.

Early

The Foundation supports multidisciplinary meetings but only if the event’s primary aim is to advance anthropological conversations. Although we welcome applications from teams of scholars, the primary organizer must hold a doctorate in anthropology or a related field. Individuals cannot be the primary organizer or co-organizer for more than one Conference and Workshop Grant application per season. Graduate students are welcome to act as co-organizers, but they must be listed as co-applicants for the purpose of the grant. We do not accept requests from individuals for grants to attend meetings.

To receive a new award for a conference or workshop, Conference and Workshop Grantees must complete all requirements of their current grant, including submission of the final report. Additional considerations are as follows:

  • Current Conference and Workshop Grant recipients may apply for an Engaged Research Grant or a Post-PhD Research Grant before the completion of their award
  • Current Engaged Research Grant and Post-PhD Research Grant recipients may apply for a Conference and Workshop Grant before the completion of their award
  • An individual may apply for a Conference and Workshop Grant at the same time the Foundation is considering their application for an Engaged Research Grant or a Post-PhD Research Grant.

For conferences, organizers should use the majority of our funds to cover the expenses of international scholars who are making presentations or contributing to the conference in other critical ways. Due to high demand, we can only provide funding for annual meetings every other year. Annual conferences organized by national associations are not eligible for funding, irrespective of their international membership. Panels or sessions that are part of larger meetings are not eligible for support.

Physician-Scientist Training Award

$460,000
4 years

Physician-scientists who are both clinically trained and expert researchers are essential to the successful translation of scientific discovery into more effective patient therapies. They have the unique capacity to blend their insights from treating patients and working in the laboratory in a way that enables and accelerates medical advances. However, the pipeline of physician-scientists is dwindling. The decline in this vital cadre of cancer researchers is occurring at a time when cancer research holds the greatest promise of improving survival and quality of life among cancer patients. A growing shortage of physician-scientists means that major laboratory research discoveries will progress to patient application ever more slowly. If the shortage continues unabated, some may not reach patient application at all, thus presenting a crisis in cancer research.

Early

Physician-scientist applicants (MDs and DOs only) must have completed their residencies and clinical training, be U.S. Specialty Board eligible prior to the award start date, and be able to devote at least 80% of their time and effort to research. MD/PhDs are not eligible to apply. Applicants cannot be pursuing a PhD.

The candidate may not have had more than three years of postdoctoral laboratory research experience. (This includes any time spent conducting research during the clinical fellowship).

Applicants may apply at any time prior to their initial assistant professorship appointment (or equivalent). Postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows, and clinical instructors are eligible to apply. If the awardee transitions to a fully independent assistant professorship appointment (or equivalent) during the award term, they must terminate the award (see Terms of the Award below).

Candidates holding or awarded NIH K awards at the time of application are not eligible to apply. (Candidates holding institutional K12 awards may apply, but must return their K12 funding to the U.S. Government/NIH if they are awarded a Damon Runyon Physician-Scientist Training Award.)

Candidates must apply with a Mentor. The Mentor’s role is to foster the development of the applicant’s knowledge, technical and analytical skills, and capacity for scientific inquiry in the field of basic or translational research chosen by the candidate and in which the Mentor is an outstanding figure. The Mentor will also serve as an advocate for the applicant at departmental, institutional, and other relevant professional levels.

  • Only one application will be accepted from a Mentor per review session (including Co-Mentors); there is no limit, however, to the number of applications from an institution.

Grant applications are evaluated on the basis of their scientific merit, relevance to and impact on transfusion medicine, focus and appropriateness to the scope of funding, and likelihood of yielding meaningful data.

Early
  • An applicant must be a doctor (MD or PhD), medical technologist, transfusion medicine or biotherapies professional. All applicants will be considered regardless of age, race, gender, national origin or religion.
  • The NBF accepts national and international early-career applicants. How does NBF describe early-career?
a.An early-stage investigator is a new investigator who has completed a terminal research degree or medical residency – whichever date is later – within the past 10 years of the grant application deadline and has not yet been awarded a substantial research grant (i.e. NIH R01). Of note, there is a 13-month period during which an investigator can resubmit a revised application and retain early-stage investigator status.
b.Clinical fellowship training in a medical specialty or subspecialty training in the years that follow the internship/residency period is not considered a part of the residency. Often the clinical fellowship period will consist of a mixture of clinical and research training. The time spent in research training will be considered as applicable toward the 10 years of research and research training.
c.If you have competed successfully for a substantial research grant (i.e. NIH R01) at any time in your career, you are NOT considered early-career and therefore you are not eligible for an NBF early-career Scientific Research Grant.
  • The NBF intends to fund researchers on a path towards independence.

Knowledge for Freedom-December

$300,000

The Knowledge for Freedom initiative supports programs that invite underserved high school students to college to study humanity’s deepest questions about leading lives of purpose and civic responsibility. Grants of varying amounts, ranging from $100,000-$300,000 over a 36-month period, will be made to each funded project participating in this initiative. The size of the grant will be based on the scope of the project. Colleges and universities interested in launching Knowledge for Freedom programs are encouraged to apply for planning grants, ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 over a 6-12 month period.


The Knowledge for Freedom initiative is designed to be adaptable enough to reflect the assets and needs of each institution and coherent enough to create a community of shared practice among programs across the nation. All Knowledge for Freedom programs reflect certain common features: 

  • All programs bring low-income high school students onto a college campus for an intensive summer seminar in the humanities taught by college faculty and supported by undergraduate teaching assistants.
  • All syllabi include transformative texts in the humanities connected by ideas or questions about the nature of government, freedom, and democracy. We define transformative texts as works—whether ancient or recent—that have transformed the world and that continue to transform individual lives by the power of their ideas and expression.
  • During the following academic year, all programs offer formalized assistance with college applications and direct students in a civic engagement or public service project.

Cornerstone: Learning for Living

$300,000

The Teagle-NEH initiative aims to reinvigorate the role of the humanities in general education, and in doing so, expose a broad array of students to the power of the humanities; help students of all backgrounds build a sense of belonging and community; strengthen the coherence and cohesiveness of general education; and increase teaching opportunities for humanities faculty.


This initiative is dedicated to the proposition that transformative texts—regardless of authorship, geography, or the era that produced them—perform a democratizing function in giving students the analytical tools and historical awareness to interrogate themselves as well as the culture and society by which we are all partially formed. Such texts give students access to a wide range of lived experiences and form the basis for creating a common intellectual experience that fosters a sense of community.


Balancing commonality with faculty choice in syllabi needs to be thoughtfully negotiated within each institution as it strives for both. Faculty recognize the value of shared texts across sections, but they also expect some degree of freedom in designing their own syllabi and time to build a workable consensus with one another on which texts work best and are essential to teach.

WITH Foundation was created to provide financial support to organizations that promote comprehensive healthcare for adults with developmental disabilities. All grant applications should complement this mission and demonstrate how they will accomplish this overarching goal.

All applicants must have tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status as a nonprofit organization as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. Proposals must describe an explicit, identifiable need.

WITH Foundation is a national grantmaker. While applications from the San Francisco Bay Area may be given preferential consideration, applications from other areas in the United States are NOT excluded. WITH does not provide funding to organizations and programs based outside of the United States.

WITH Foundation has three grant cycles per year, two open grant cycles when any organizations that meets our grant guidelines may apply and one Request For Proposals (RFP) cycle. To learn more about our grant cycles, please visit the “How Do I Apply” page.

During our traditional grant cycles (OPEN and RFP cycles) WITH will consider grants of up to $150,000. We will give preference to organizations that share our core values and work to support comprehensive healthcare for adults with I/DD. During our traditional grant cycles we will also consider research-focused grants. Research-focused grants can be up to $250,000, recognizing the pivotal role research plays in propelling positive change in the realm of disability healthcare. Grants from WITH typically provide one year of support but may cover as much as three years to support programming that warrants extended funding.

Children's Tumor Foundation

Young Investigator Award


$210,000
3 years

The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF), established in 1978 as the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation, is a non-profit organization committed to promoting research and identifying  effective therapies for neurofibromatosis (NF) and to improving the lives of those living with this disease.  NF includes neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and all types of schwannomatosis (SWN), including NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN), formerly known as neurofibromatosis type 2. Since its inception, CTF has committed over $50 million to research grants and initiatives, supporting scientists around the world to conduct groundbreaking NF research.


The Young Investigator Award (YIA), CTF’s longest-running competitive award program from the mid 1980s, has traditionally provided two years of funding to early-career NF researchers. The goal is to enable these trainees to become established independent investigators in NF-related fields. The YIA program provides seed funding to attract researchers to the field and to enable them to generate data to secure larger grants, such as from the NIH and CDMRP NFRP.  Several former YIAs are now leaders in the NF research and clinical communities. In fact, CTF’s ‘seeding’ of the NF field with new talent has been hailed as one of the key reasons for rapid advancements in NF research in recent years.


The YIA mechanism supports basic and translational research towards -

  • Understanding cellular, genetic, and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of NF1 and all types of schwannomatosis (SWN) including NF2-related schwannomatosis

As a result of funding constraints on governmental agencies in the United States and other countries, coupled with the growing interest in cystic fibrosis research, occasions arise in which highly meritorious grant applications are submitted to these governmental agencies but are not funded. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation does not intend to assume the role of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other governmental funding agencies elsewhere, but instead wishes to ensure that the momentum in CF research is not irreversibly slowed.

Support from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is intended to provide for the development of preliminary data to make CF-related grant applications highly competitive at the NIH (or in review processes of governmental funding agencies in other countries).

To be considered for this program, applications must have been submitted to:

NIH as an R01 and fall within the upper 40th percentile

OR

Governmental funding agencies in other countries with an NIH R01-equivalent funding program that provides reviewer critiques and a report indicating the application scored in the upper 40th percentile.

Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Translation Grants in Buddhist Studies

$50,000
1 year

Translation has been at the core of Buddhism since the Buddha’s instruction to his monks to teach the dharma in many languages.


These grants support translations of important Buddhist texts for the benefit of contemporary audiences (e.g., communities of scholarship and Buddhist practice) who currently do not have access to them in their own languages. Applicants may propose the translation of works from any genre of Buddhist literature from any period and region. Priority will be given to the translation of works that have never been translated into a modern language. There are no restrictions as to the language of the final product prepared for publication.

Collaborative projects are welcome. Projects that aim to reach Buddhist communities of practice and broader publics through open access, popular translation, or community-engaged research are also strongly encouraged.

While a critical edition may be necessary to produce a translation, translation should be the focus of the project. 

Applicants must state if they will use machine translation in their projects. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) or translation software is not prohibited; however, applicants must describe if and how they will use it. Applicants proposing projects that will support the training of large language models (LLMs) should contact BuddhistStudies@acls.org in advance of the deadline.

Growing evidence suggests the interrelatedness of the duration of pregnancy, fetal growth, and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, stillbirth, and maternal medical complications including maternal mortality.

Other areas of interest are climate change and environmental impact on pregnancy, complications associated with ART, and epigenome-wide association studies. The initiative is designed to stimulate both creative individual scientists and multi-investigator teams to approach healthy and adverse pregnancy outcomes using creative basic and translation science methods. The formation of new connections between reproductive scientists and investigators who are involved in other areas is particularly encouraged.

Data Insights Cycle 3

$400,000
1.5 years

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) seeks to support projects that will advance the fields of single-cell biology and data science. Grantees will be expected to interact with existing groups to build community and accelerate progress. Applications are encouraged from computational experts outside the field of single-cell biology, but with expertise relevant to overcoming current bottlenecks and driving discoveries in the single-cell biology field. Projects may include: dedicated efforts to democratize access and usability of existing datasets; demonstration of utility by leveraging existing datasets to address impactful and challenging biological questions; and developing methods that enable greater biological insight and other major challenges brought forward. This request for applications is the last of three currently planned cycles, with successful projects receiving 18 months of funding support.

Scope 

Applications for two types of grants are welcome and will be reviewed independently. The maximum budgets for proposed projects are $400,000 total costs for Expanded Projects and $200,000 total costs for Focused Projects. All project awards will be for an 18-month duration. The goal of this opportunity is to create a network of projects that address broad computational challenges and needs within single-cell biology at a variety of scales. Applicants may highlight existing or prospective collaboration among projects, but should note that all applications will be reviewed for their individual merit and impact. 

Single-cell biology has undergone rapid growth over the last five years, with a recent increase in the volume of available and openly accessible datasets and cell atlases, including the release of the 37+ million cells CZ CELLxGENE Discover Census. This funding opportunity is specifically intended to motivate and incentivize the development, refinement, and implementation of approaches that make it possible for greater insights to be gained from available single-cell data. With this in mind, any form of data generation is considered out of scope. Projects must propose and rely on existing data that is openly and freely available (count matrices at minimum) at the time of application via the inclusion of a link to specific datasets in the applications. Furthermore, we strongly encourage applications to use data generated outside of their labs to enable interoperability and advances that are extensible to a wider segment of interested researchers. 

Addressing computational challenges and bottlenecks in single-cell biology will drive the field forward and make it possible for a greater number of scientists to benefit from emerging datasets and tissue atlases. This opportunity puts forward a broad scope that fundamentally aims to enable greater insight into specific biological questions to be gleaned from single-cell data. Successful proposals are likely to incorporate some or multiple of the following attributes:

Community Project Grants-December

$10,000
1 year

Florida Humanities’ Community Project Grants provide support to eligible nonprofit organizations to develop engaging public humanities programs and resources that promote a deeper understanding of Florida’s diverse cultures, histories, and ideas. We seek proposals that encourage collaboration, dialogue, critical thinking, and foster a sense of shared community.

Projects funded by Community Project Grants should be designed for broad and diverse public audiences. Organizations with proposals utilizing creative methods to engage new and/or underserved audiences are especially encouraged to apply. Programming may be presented in-person, virtually, or in a hybrid format.


Community Project Grants support an array of public humanities programs and resources that encourage community engagement in the humanities. The “humanities” can be defined as the study of human culture through various academic disciplines. These disciplines include, but are not limited to: literature, history, philosophy, art history, musicology, anthropology, ethics, film studies, and cultural studies. Humanities projects bridge the gap between these academic disciplines and the public through the delivery of programming that contributes to the cultural enrichment of communities.

Examples of funded projects include: community conversations, interpretive exhibits (permanent or traveling, physical or digital), lecture series, community-wide reads, film and discussion programs, oral history and story collection projects, interpretive tours, and other types of site- or place-based humanities programming. Media projects such as radio and television productions as well as podcasts and other digital formats with humanities focused content may also be considered.

All Community Project Grants MUST

Institutional

Higher education departments (i.e. Department of History), humanities centers, institutes, and programs associated with Florida colleges and universities are eligible to apply for Community Project Grant funding. Colleges and universities may submit up to three applications from their institution per deadline, however, each application must come from a different department.

Although eligible to apply for Community Project Grants, colleges and universities are strongly encouraged to partner with and apply through a local nonprofit organization.

Purpose
  • To support highly innovative, high-impact research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate the field of cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular research.
  • Research deemed innovative may introduce a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities.
  • The Innovative Project Award (IPA) promotes unexplored ideas; therefore, preliminary data is not required and not accepted as part of the proposal. However, a solid rationale for the work must be provided. If you provide preliminary data, the application will be disqualified.
  • Should you include information about preliminary work, then the proposal is not innovative. You may refer to previous projects you have conducted to demonstrate that you possess a competency or technique that equips you to take on this new direction. Proposals may also refer to existing, unanalyzed datasets and the types of data they contain (e.g., geospatial, demographic, billing, molecular) that could be leveraged in conducting the proposed work, but there should be no preliminary descriptive summaries of the data itself.
  • Proposed work should not be the next logical step of previous work, but should have a high probability of revealing new avenues of investigation, if successful.

$750,000
3 years

Small-molecule CFTR modulators that directly target the mutant protein are powerful therapies that will likely benefit 90 percent of people with cystic fibrosis in the near future. However, there is still a significant unmet need for people with CFTR mutations who either do not respond to modulators, do not generate sufficient quantities of protein for correction, or block protein synthesis (i.e., premature stop codon mutations, splice mutations, insertion/deletion mutations, etc.). To ensure all people with CF have access to effective CFTR-directed therapies, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announced the Path to a Cure (PTAC) initiative in 2019.


Projects supported through the PTAC initiative should focus on foundational concepts, strategies, novel tools and methods, and/or technologies that have the potential to inform or ultimately translate into novel therapies to restore CFTR protein function or fix/replace the defective CFTR gene:

  • Identifying, characterizing, and validating potential targets to promote nonsense mutation suppression, which includes understanding the pathways and mechanisms that regulate translation termination and nonsense mediated decay (NMD)
  • Developing novel means of repairing and/or replacing the mutant CFTR gene
  • Characterization of cellular targets for CFTR correction, including airway progenitor cells and other affected epithelial tissues (biliary tract, GI tract, pancreas)

Scientific Software Research Faculty Award

$500,000
5 years

The Simons Foundation’s Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MPS) division invites applications for its Scientific Software Research Faculty Award (SSRF Award) in the MPS program for faculty appointments to start between September 2025–September 2026. The foundation strongly encourages scientists from disadvantaged backgrounds or underrepresented groups to apply.


Scientific software is a critical component of research, enabling scientists to analyze and reduce data, perform simulations, automate tasks, and produce and visualize results. As such, the development and maintenance of broadly-applicable scientific software has become an increasingly important intellectual endeavor. While scientific software experts are crucial members of research ventures, their career prospects beyond postdoctoral-level positions are limited.

The Simons Foundation invites applications for funding to support new research professor positions (e.g., “clinical professor,” “professor of practice” or “research professor,” the titles and roles depending on the university) in existing academic departments (the “host institutions”) to be filled by scientific software-focused researchers. The SSRF Award will support researchers who have a strong track record of leadership in scientific software development. The aim of this program is to stimulate the development and maintenance of core scientific software infrastructure in academic environments through creating a new, long-term, faculty-level career path.

Early
Middle
Established

A Scientific Software Fellowship provides five years of 50 percent salary support of the awardee’s academic-year salary and fringe benefits, whether normally paid over 9 or 12 months, along with a yearly $50,000 research allowance for the awardee, as well as indirect costs for the host institution (limited to 20 percent of the modified total direct costs, see Simons Foundation Policies). The host university is expected to provide the other 50 percent of salary support for teaching work through existing department channels. This funding is potentially renewable.


Applicants must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent degree) in mathematics, astronomy or theoretical physics and have played a leading role in developing or maintaining scientific software in one or more of these fields. Awards may be hosted at any public or private Ph.D.-granting institution in the United States. There are no citizenship or country requirements to apply.

Awardees must be hired into clinical professor, professor of practice or equivalent-level positions in a mathematics, astronomy or physics department such that a maximum of 50 percent of their time is dedicated to teaching and/or supporting computational efforts within the department. The position need not be tenure track but must not be term limited. Awardees must be allowed to have principal investigator (PI) status on grants.

AFTD Pilot Grants-Well-Being in FTD

$110,000
1 year

AFTD Pilot Grants provide seed funding for novel research in the initial phase of development across the full spectrum of FTD disorders (behavioral variant FTD, primary progressive aphasia, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome, and FTD-ALS) by early-stage researchers. Pilot Grants advance the careers of new investigators focused on FTD and generate data that will be the basis for follow-on funding applications to government funders or other public or private agencies.

AFTD funds two types of Pilot Grants:

  • Pathways for Hope Pilot Grants – These grants support both basic research on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying FTD and translational research to improve clinical practice or advance biomarker and drug development. This new all-inclusive category replaces the previous Basic Science and Translational Research Pilot Grant categories.
  • Well-Being in FTD Pilot Grants – These grants support the development of non-pharmacological interventions for improving the quality of life for people living with FTD and their families, mitigating caregiver burden, or advancing person-centered approaches to FTD care in out-of-home settings.

McElhattan Foundation

Workplace Safety (Spring Cycle)

$50,000
1 year

The Foundation's interest in preventing death and serious injury in the workplace stems from the family's company, Industrial Scientific Corporation, which manufactures life-saving gas-monitoring devices. The McElhattan family is deeply committed to ending death on the job by 2050, and we expect the majority of our grant budget will be dedicated to this effort. We are especially interested in innovative safety technology, including virtual and augmented reality. 

We do not fund applications from nonprofits for employee training or installing/buying safety equipment; we also do not fund road safety initiatives. If you've found us and are seeking funding for any of these things, we wish you the best of luck-- our team is small and it's necessary for us to stay within our particular areas of focus in this program area.

End-of-Life Planning and Care Grant (Spring Cycle)

$50,000
1 year

The McElhattan Foundation believes it is possible for most people to have a higher quality of life at the end of life. Grants in our End-of-Life Planning and Care program area will support initiatives in three strategic areas: Awareness and Documentation, Caregiver/Provider Training and Support, and Technological Innovation. As always, we seek to fund changemakers—visionary leaders and strong teams who will create dramatic, measurable improvement in how patients and their families experience the inevitable process of dying.


1. AWARENESS & DOCUMENTATION

We will support initiatives that educate and empower our community—Western Pennsylvania—about end-of-life decision-making, including clarifying the option of hospice care. We are open to funding broad awareness campaigns as well as targeted efforts aimed at reaching specific segments of the population, especially underserved groups. Once an individual understands their end-of-life options and decides upon their preferences, it’s essential for that person to make their wishes known, in advance and in writing, to their loved ones and medical providers. We will support initiatives designed to make recording and sharing this information easier.

Pre and Postdoctoral Training Awards

$50,000
1 year

The Autism Science Foundation invites applications for its Pre- and Postdoctoral Training Awards from graduate students, medical students and postdoctoral fellows interested in pursuing careers in basic and clinical research relevant to autism spectrum disorders.

The proposed training should be scientifically linked to autism, but may be broadened to include training in a closely related area of scientific research. The Autism Science Foundation will consider all areas of related basic and clinical research, including but not limited to: human behavior and co-occurring medical conditions across the lifespan (language, learning, behavior, communication, social function, motor skills & planning, epilepsy, sleep, repetitive disorders); neurobiology (anatomy, development, neuroimaging); pharmacology; studies that address disparities in access, care and research; improving research in underserved communities; neuropathology; genetics and gene/environment interactions; epigenetics; immunology; molecular and cellular mechanisms; studies employing model organisms and systems; intervention research (behavioral, pharmacological or a combination of the two), and studies of treatment and service delivery.  

ASF welcomes scientific research in all fields. However, we are especially interested in projects which address previously under researched communities. These include: profound autism, those with severe and challenging behaviors, and autism disparities in racial and ethnic minority groups or those with socioeconomic challenges.

Awards:

The Autism Science Foundation will make a number of awards determined by its available financial resources. The term of the award will be a period of one year and will include:

  • For predoctoral students: $35,000 USD

Projects investigating age-related diseases are supported if approached from the point of view of how basic aging processes may lead to these outcomes. Projects concerning mechanisms underlying common geriatric functional disorders are also encouraged, as long as these include connections to fundamental problems in the biology of aging. Projects that deal strictly with clinical problems such as the diagnosis and treatment of disease, health outcomes, or the social context of aging are not eligible.

Examples of potentially fundable areas of research include, but are not limited to:

  • Aging and immune function
  • Stem cell aging
  • Inflammation
  • Genetic control of longevity

The RPB International Research Collaborators Award-Spring Cycle

$75,000
Undefined

The RPB International Research Collaborators Award promotes international collaborations through which collaborating researchers in the U.S. and outside the U.S. gain new knowledge and skills. These international collaborations have the potential to accelerate the development of treatments for blinding disorders, positively affecting large populations worldwide for years to come. 

Under a reciprocal arrangement, a U.S.-based researcher -- MD, PhD, or MD/PhD with a primary appointment in the department of ophthalmology or a relevant department as an Assistant Professor through full Professor -- will be funded to go for a period of time to an institution outside the U.S. to gain new knowledge and/or skills, and deepen collaborative relationships with researchers there that will be conducive to future research collaborations. In turn, the institution outside the U.S. will send a researcher for a period of time to the U.S. institution from which the U.S. researcher came. An extended stay in the other country is expected by each researcher or a member of each researcher's lab. A fair amount of flexibility in how this expectation can be implemented will be allowed. 

The collaboration should provide a synergistic benefit to each researcher and to the culminating project. The submission must spell out specific and cogent objectives to be accomplished by each of the collaborating researchers toward the fulfillment of two broad goals: (1) gaining new knowledge and skills; and (2) strengthening collaborations across international boundaries. Successful candidates will leverage the unique expertise of each researcher, whereby their collaboration creates a work product that is more than the sum of its parts. An award of up to $75,000 is available. Matching funds are not required, however, a match is encouraged by the department and/or the institution outside the U.S. Only one nomination per department per school will be considered in this grant category.

The RPB / Lions Clubs International Foundation Low Vision Research Award (LVRA)

$300,000
3 years

The RPB / Lions Clubs International Foundation Low Vision Research Award (LVRA) focuses on the visual system that is damaged, and seeks greater understanding of how the visual system and brain respond to severe and chronic visual loss by answering such questions as: What is the nature of the visual impairment; what aspects of visual function are affected? How is the degraded input processed? What are the adaptive strategies in the visual pathway in response to visual impairment? How does the brain re-organize itself with visual damage? What novel environmental adaptations and technologies can be used to help affected individuals overcome the visual impairments? How, for instance, can the visibility of objects be enhanced? 

The LVRA, a $300,000 award payable in two installments of $150,000 a payment with the second payment contingent upon approval of a 14-month substantive progress report, is intended to provide seed funding for high-risk / high-gain, innovative, cutting-edge research which demonstrates out-of-the-box thinking. We strongly encourage interdisciplinary collaboration within the scope of the proposed research. The LVRA will not fund evaluations of existing interventions and educational programs; epidemiological or demographic studies; or Phase III trials. Intervention development, proof of concept studies, and feasibility studies are eligible assuming the research proposal addresses one or more of the questions noted above. Phase II trials are eligible if the applicant clearly demonstrates that the LVRA budget covers the cost of the Phase II trial; or if not, the applicant needs to explain how he/she proposes to secure additional funding. The proposed research cannot be funded – previously or currently – by the NEI, NIH, or other federal funders, although modest initial funding by private funders / foundations is acceptable. The purpose of this award is to serve as a catalyst to specific lines / kinds of research not currently happening.

RPB Stein Innovation Awards-Spring Cycle

$300,000
3 years

RPB Stein Innovation Awards provide funds to two groups of researchers, both with a common goal of understanding the visual system and the diseases that compromise its function. These awards are intended to provide seed money to proposed high-risk / high-gain vision science research which is innovative, cutting-edge, and demonstrates out-of-the-box thinking.


The Stein Innovation Awards are not to serve as venture philanthropy for start-up companies. The application should also not be a natural extension of the candidate's research progress to date; it should catalyze a new line of inquiry or otherwise show a departure from previously funded research. The proposed research in the application should provide a clear and rational research plan, compelling preliminary data, and careful consideration of pitfalls, which should be addressed in the candidate's scientific statement. Additionally, the application should be substantially different than an R01-type research endeavor. The proposed research should be something that federal funders are not apt to finance due to its unconventional and novel reasoning. 

Department chairs (including interim or acting Chairs) can nominate multiple candidates per department per school. Though multiple candidates can be nominated, only one award per department can be approved. Candidates in either cycle must be either MDs, PhDs, or MD/PhDs with an academic position of Associate Professor through full Professor. Candidates must provide not less than 5% effort for the proposed research. The award, $300,000, is payable in two (2) payments, $150,000 per payment upon approval of a 14-month substantive progress report.


For the January deadline, department of ophthalmology faculty who are performing innovative vision research may submit an application.

The Clinical Scientist in Nephrology program has trained some of nephrology's brightest scholars who have gone on to become leaders in the field and mentors to new generations of scientists studying kidney disease. Many former CSN fellows have conducted groundbreaking research that advances knowledge and treatment of kidney disease.

A Clinical Scientist in Nephrology fellowship may be granted yearly, with a maximum duration of two years for each fellowship. The maximum level of funding of $90,000 per year shall be used principally to support the candidate and his or her career development. This sum is expected to cover the individual fellow's salary (not to exceed $65,000) as well as training-related expenses.

APDA Social Sciences in PD Research Grant 

$75,000
1 year

Beyond the clinical symptoms of PD, individuals and their care partners are often socially challenged with issues like stigma, isolation, and a lack of accessible support networks. These social issues can exacerbate the already considerable burden of the disease, leading to a diminished quality of life for those affected. 

This year, APDA is pleased to announce our fifth grant category: the Social Sciences in PD Research Grant. It is a one-year grant of up to a maximum of $75,000, awarded to research scientists studying social issues related to PD in the United States. Researchers from various fields including sociology, psychology, public health, health communication, social work, health policy and management, gerontology, rehabilitation science, physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc. may wish to apply.

The Cooley’s Anemia Foundation invites national and international applicants to apply for grants to support ongoing clinical research projects in thalassemia.

The goal of this initiative is to support investigators from all disciplines and backgrounds (MD, RN, PhD, MPH, MSW or other disciplines) with their ongoing clinical projects to address one or more of the following areas impacting patients with thalassemia, including but not limited to: cardiac issues and iron overload; fertility, pregnancy and family planning; bone health, quality of life, psychosocial impact and/or burden of disease.

The stipends will be $50,000 annually with possibility of one-year renewal upon submission of a renewal application. Approval will be based upon determination of

Satisfactory progress and availability of funds. Funds may be used for either salary or non-salary purposes, but the administrative cost is limited to 10% of the total amount granted.

This level of funding would be appropriate for support of innovative small-scale pilot studies, observational trials, or ancillary support for ongoing interventional studies (for example, support of a trainee joining an existing trial, or new biological endpoint analyses for an existing trial). In the case of ancillary studies, investigators should clearly document the support for the parent trial in their “other support” declarations.

Junior and senior faculty are eligible; fellows and trainees are not eligible. Investigators must interact directly with patients or patient-related data. Basic research, when included in this “Ongoing Clinical Research” program, must be related to a direct clinical focus of the grant application.

RFP: Unveiling the Mechanisms of Micturition Inhibition in Public Restrooms

$10,000
1 year

Paruresis, a form of urinary hesitancy, is a condition characterized by the inability to urinate in public restrooms. This significantly impacts a person's quality of life, and can cause anxiety, social isolation, and hinder daily activities. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms of paruresis remain poorly understood. This project proposes a collaborative research effort to investigate the physiological and biochemical factors that contribute to micturition inhibition in public settings, with the ultimate goal of identifying a medication to allow people to freely urinate in public.

Ideal Research Goals:

  • Identify the neural correlates of paruresis using neuroimaging modalities such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
  • Pinpoint the neural circuits and brain regions implicated in paruresis using advanced imaging techniques.
  • Investigate the physiological responses, including autonomic nervous system activity and hormonal fluctuations, during paruresis inducing stimuli
  • Figure out the biochemical mechanism causing paruresis and discover medications to help people urinate.

MDA Kickstart Program

2 years

Gene therapy delivered via adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) has proven to be a feasible strategy to treat the underlying genetic cause of numerous neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). Accordingly, many investigators have pursued AAV-based gene replacement strategies to correct various forms of NMDs, with in vitro and in vivo proof-of-concept data at hand and ready for the next step towards clinical translation. While there is expanding interest from industry to support translation studies for AAV gene therapies, these have been limited to more common NMD disease subtypes, with minimal commercial interest for the ultra-rare indications. As a strategy to lower commercial barriers and de-risk development of gene therapies for ultra-rare neurological diseases, the NIH has created funding and resource support via the Ultra-rare Gene-based Therapy Network (URGenT) program. The entry requirements for NIH’s URGenT program is largely targeted toward IND-enabling studies. MDA recognizes that investigators may not have access to personnel with the required expertise or resources required to reach earlier stages such as assembly of a pre-IND package. As a strategy to address the pressing need to lower barriers for ultra-rare gene therapies, MDA is introducing the Kickstart Program to support selected gene therapy programs reach the pre-IND stage of the clinical translation process. Successful grant applicant(s) of the Kickstart Program will have access to resources such as contract research organizations (CROs) and personnel support required for pre-IND package development. MDA’s Kickstart Program will put together a collaborative team consisting of in-house and external experts, and the applicant, to drive the chosen project(s) towards a complete pre-IND package, thus moving the program into position for follow-on grant funding.

Crazy 8 Predisposition RFA

$5,000,000
4 years

In 2024, ALSF Crazy 8 Initiative will focus on Childhood Cancer Predisposition and Prevention. It is now estimated that at least 15-20% of children with cancer harbor a germline cancer predisposition gene. Although currently about 100 cancer predisposition syndromes are known, there are clearly more syndromes and more genes to be discovered. There is a need to identify cancers in these individuals early to establish surveillance protocols for effective treatment. In addition, there is a need to develop effective approaches to prevent or delay tumor onset in children determined to be genetically at risk. The focus of this award will be on multiple aspects of a single cancer predisposition syndrome, or on a broader area (e.g. surveillance) across a number of different syndromes. Five major areas of focus have been identified for this Crazy 8 RFA:

•New Gene Discovery

•Genotype-phenotype correlations

•Surveillance optimization

•Predisposition Models

•Cancer Prevention

AHA Data Grant: Debiasing Clinical Care Algorithms

$50,000
1 year
Overview

The American Heart Association is committed to research that evaluates the role of race in clinical algorithms.

Purpose

The purpose of this Request for Proposal is to reevaluate risk prediction models and algorithms in the field of cardiovascular and stroke science that have been adjusted for race.  One such example is the Pooled Cohort Equation for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.1 The Pooled Cohort Equation predicts 10-year risk for a first atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease event.

In the process of reevaluating the use of race in risk prediction models and algorithms, a researcher might assess the complex interactions among ancestry, race, racism, socioeconomic status and the environment. A researcher may focus on whether removal of race in a clinical algorithm relieves or exacerbates inequities.

Examples of topics that would be responsive to this RFP include:

Pro-WASH & SCALE Applied Research Award

$200,000
1.5 years

The PRO-WASH & SCALE Award is excited to announce its first applied research request for applications (RFA)! We are soliciting applications to explore sustainability in the domains of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), agriculture, natural resource management (NRM), water resources management (WRM), livelihoods, markets, cash-for-work (CFW), vouchers-for-work, and food-for-work interventions on closed USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA)-funded development/resilience food security activities (DFSAs/RFSAs) as well as legacy Food for Peace-funded development food assistance projects (DFAPs). 

Successful applicants will have the opportunity to generate robust evidence around under-studied thematic areas. The results from the sustainability review will expand the evidence base of interventions and approaches that foster lasting outcomes and contribute to the improved design, implementation, and overall effectiveness of programming by BHA implementing partners.


Sustainability of WASH, agriculture, NRM, WRM, livelihoods, markets, CFW, vouchers-for-work, and food-for-work activities have been identified as a challenge by stakeholders across many RFSAs. This challenge is not unique to these activities as sustainability is a widely recognized challenge. A myriad of interconnected and dynamic factors such as financial, institutional, environmental, technical, and social factors are recognized to influence sustainability.

The purpose of this RFA, therefore, is to address knowledge gaps related to the sustainability of select cross-sectoral interventions implemented by RFSAs that have since closed. The study will provide actionable recommendations for future implementing partners in the selected domains. 

Criteria for selecting county and activity of focus are listed in the RFA.

Catapult Award

$2,500,000
3 years

CureSearch’s Catapult Award program aims to accelerate the development of novel, innovative, less-toxic treatments for children with cancer. The goal of the Catapult Award is to overcome barriers to pediatric cancer drug development by providing meaningful funding and expert scientific guidance in order to advance the development of promising oncology research out of the lab and into clinical trials, with the ultimate goal of improving clinical outcomes in childhood cancer patients and making more effective and less toxic treatments widely available. Program Description The Catapult Award is currently soliciting proposals for its 2024 award cycle. CureSearch for Children’s Cancer will review and fund projects advancing promising therapies for pediatric cancer into or further along in clinical development, showing strong potential for future approval and commercialization. Awards will be granted for 1-3 years, based on the project's needs. The Catapult Award will provide funding support, as requested, up to $2.5M for the entire award period, for “clinic-ready” projects that fit the following parameters: o Phase 1 or Phase 2 pediatric clinical trials that seek to test single or combination therapies for a pediatric cancer indication. o Preference will be given to projects that address areas of high unmet need in pediatric oncology, such as high-risk, relapsed, and metastatic disease and adolescent and young adult patient populations. o All pediatric clinical trial projects should be either IND-ready (that is, with sufficient data to support the submission and approval of an IND or IND equivalent), available for clinical trial use under an existing, active IND (or IND-equivalent), or have already gained approval by the FDA or other competent regulatory authority for an adult indication, but having not been studied in pediatric oncology indications. o All pediatric clinical trial projects are expected to meet the following established milestones: enrollment of the first patient in the first year, completion of patient accrual within the second year, and manuscript submission by the end of the third year of funding. o For “first in human” clinical studies, all pre-clinical pharmacology and nonhuman safety and toxicology studies should be completed. o CureSearch is strongly interested in collaborative projects that leverage existing regulatory guidelines or governmental programs that require or reward research in developing new therapies for pediatric patients. Collaborative projects between academia and industry are strongly encouraged (see eligibility below). o Notice of Special Interest for projects addressing therapies in neuroblastoma.

Public Agenda

Democracy Renewal Project 2023 Request for Proposals

$50,000
Undefined

OVERVIEW

Americans across the political spectrum believe that our democracy is at risk. A growing body of evidence shows that citizens with disparate political perspectives share a sense of frustration and dissatisfaction with our current system. In response, organizations and philanthropists are pursuing innovations to strengthen American democracy. 

In our inaugural Democracy Renewal Project grantmaking cycle, Public Agenda seeks to support this movement to renew democracy with evidence on how to achieve full access to electoral participation for all citizens while strengthening trust and confidence in elections. While both of these goals are at the foundation of legitimate and sustainable democracy, they are often pursued separately. In the worst cases, bad faith efforts to persuade members of the public that elections are not trustworthy have laid the groundwork for legislative restrictions on ballot access. While it is essential that pro-democracy actors do not capitulate to these narratives, ideally efforts to build access would not provide momentum for disinformation that may accelerate anti-democratic dynamics. Our goal is to support research that addresses both access and trust. We have timed this grantmaking cycle to enable researchers to take advantage of the 2024 election cycle.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Public Agenda does not support any candidate or party. As a matter of mission, Public Agenda does not seek to advance any specific political ideology or policy agenda. We will fund projects that contribute to the health and strength of a pluralistic democracy.

FUNDING PRIORITIES

Public Agenda is committed to providing rigorous, actionable evidence to diverse pro-democracy stakeholders. Preference will be given to projects that have a strong potential to produce evidence that can inform the work of practitioners, advocates, policymakers, and funders.

RFA Research on Gambling Among Underserved Communities

$172,500
2 years

In the USA, racial and ethnic minorities constitute approximately a third of the population and are expected to become the majority by 2050. Earlier studies have found higher rates of gambling disorder among people who identify as ethnic and racial minorities and who have high economic burden. In particular, the expansion of gambling points to a critical need to clarify the prevalence and impact of gambling disorder on indigenous peoples in the U.S. and Canada. The health disparities that prevent these groups from receiving treatment needs to be explored, and culturally appropriate interventions for gambling problems need to be identified. For example, current endeavors to translate evidence-based strategies for other addictive disorders into Native American culture could be expanded to include gambling disorder.


The International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) invites applicants to focus on the impact of gambling on under-served groups in the U.S. or Canada. Applicants may request up to $75,000 per year for a two-year Large Grant with no more than 15% of direct costs for Facilities and Administration. Total requested may not exceed $172,500.

Sarcoma Foundation of America

The Last Mile Sarcoma Research Award

$150,000
1 year

Overview

The Sarcoma Foundation of America (SFA) is pleased to announce a research funding opportunity to provide one-year grants in the amount of $150,000, to support translational science research on the etiology, molecular biology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of human sarcomas.

In support of our overall mission to fund research and increase awareness and advocacy for sarcoma patients and their families, the goal of the SFA grant program is to encourage research that results in improved therapeutic options for sarcoma patients.

Description

This grant mechanism is available for sarcoma researchers to provide funding to strengthen the first resubmission of a National Institutes of Health NIH R01 proposal where the member is the project director and principal investigator on the application. The R01 must have scored in the 50th percentile or better, but outside the NIH pay line.

Considerations in a funding decision will include the following: the innovation and impact of the research proposed, the financial circumstances and needs of the investigator, and the likelihood of a success in moving the proposal's score within the funding range following resubmission. The application for this grant should be within 9 months from the initial R01 notification. If funded by SFA, the expectation is that funded applicants would be successfully resubmitted to the NIH.

Early

• Applicants must be an MD, DO, PhD, or international equivalent with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed sarcoma research;

• Applicants must be within the first ten years of faculty appointment (beginning with instructor/assistant professor or the equivalent).

• Each proposal must identify only one lead PI. The PI is responsible for the overall grant management, coordination and research oversight to include the deliverables;

• Returning SFA PIs and organizational grantees must be in compliance with any/all previous SFA grant deliverables;

Florida Humanities

Community Project Grants-Spring

$10,000
1 year

Florida Humanities’ Community Project Grants provide support to eligible nonprofit organizations to develop engaging public humanities programs and resources that promote a deeper understanding of Florida’s diverse cultures, histories, and ideas. We seek proposals that encourage collaboration, dialogue, critical thinking, and foster a sense of shared community.

Projects funded by Community Project Grants should be designed for broad and diverse public audiences. Organizations with proposals utilizing creative methods to engage new and/or underserved audiences are especially encouraged to apply. Programming may be presented in-person, virtually, or in a hybrid format.


Community Project Grants support an array of public humanities programs and resources that encourage community engagement in the humanities. The “humanities” can be defined as the study of human culture through various academic disciplines. These disciplines include, but are not limited to: literature, history, philosophy, art history, musicology, anthropology, ethics, film studies, and cultural studies. Humanities projects bridge the gap between these academic disciplines and the public through the delivery of programming that contributes to the cultural enrichment of communities.

Examples of funded projects include: community conversations, interpretive exhibits (permanent or traveling, physical or digital), lecture series, community-wide reads, film and discussion programs, oral history and story collection projects, interpretive tours, and other types of site- or place-based humanities programming. Media projects such as radio and television productions as well as podcasts and other digital formats with humanities focused content may also be considered.

All Community Project Grants MUST

Institutional

Higher education departments (i.e. Department of History), humanities centers, institutes, and programs associated with Florida colleges and universities are eligible to apply for Community Project Grant funding. Colleges and universities may submit up to three applications from their institution per deadline, however, each application must come from a different department.

Although eligible to apply for Community Project Grants, colleges and universities are strongly encouraged to partner with and apply through a local nonprofit organization.
