Federal Funding Opportunities
The purpose of the Higher Education Challenge Grants Program is to strengthen institutional capacities, including curriculum, faculty, scientific instrumentation, instruction delivery systems, and student recruitment and retention, to respond to identified state, regional, national, or international educational needs in the food and agricultural sciences, or in rural economic, community, and business development. Successful projects will address a state, regional, national, or international educational need, involve a creative or non-traditional approach toward addressing that need that can serve as a model to others, encourage and facilitate better working relationships in the university science and education community, as well as between universities and the private sector, to enhance program quality and supplement available resources, and result in benefits that will likely transcend the project duration.
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to implement activities that modernize and improve the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) and advance the science of geodesy in the U.S. The program priorities under this grant program include:
- Research and develop new methodologies for defining and applications for working with the NSRS;
- Develop and evaluate tools, models, and guidelines to access, analyze, and manipulate geodetic data;
- Enhance infrastructure of geodetic control, coastal remote sensing data, survey measurements, and other physical datasets that comprise the NSRS;
- Support education, capacity building, and technology transfer for the future of geodesy; and
- Coordinate through partnerships with local, state, and regional users.
Proposals that include student collaboration and eduction as well as those that support the principals of diversity and inclusion are encouraged.
This program supports high-risk basic research in science and engineer that is of potential interest to the Department of Defense, and attempts to understand or achieve something that has never been done before that will result in significant scientific breakthroughs with far reaching consequences to the fields of science, economic growth, and revolutionary new military technologies.
The purposes of this program are to help address State-identified needs for personnel preparation in special education, early intervention, related services, and regular education to work with children, including infants, toddlers, and youth with disabilities, and ensure that those personnel have the necessary skills and knowledge, derived from practices that have been determined through scientifically based research, to be successful in serving those children.
The goal of this funding opportunity is to advance the performance limits of silicon, wide bandgap, and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor devices and significantly improve their actuation methods to support a more capable, resilient, and reliable future grid. This new program seeks to engage technical experts from power electronics, optoelectronics, photonics, and other related fields to support the development of next-generation ultra-fast semiconductor devices and modules for enhanced resiliency, reliability, and control of power flow at all grid interfaces.
Carbon capture large-scale pilot projects will generate operational data for verification and validation of the commercial potential of innovative technologies, including data on technology performance, non-carbon dioxide air emissions, process models, life cycle impacts, costs, scaling factors, and community benefits or negative impacts of carbon capture technologies. These pilots will help mitigate risks and aid in commercial adoption as learnings obtained from these pilots are expected to inform subsequent large-scale demonstration or commercial deployment plans.
The purpose of this program is to create a pathway from academic training to clinical practice through the creation and implementation of Licensed Practical Nurse/Licensed Vocational Nurse to Registered Nurse Bridge Programs and employment of Clinical Nurse Faculty.
Care delivery, in which a patients health is viewed apart from their social context, must be reimagined to make meaningful improvements in health, eliminate health disparities, and advance health equity. The purpose of the Bridge-to-Care initiative is to promote research that links clinical care with community services and resources to address unmet social needs and adverse social conditions. Specifically, this funding opportunity invites intervention research studies, conducted in partnership with healthcare and community organizations, that address individuals’ and families’ unmet social needs and communities’ adverse social conditions, with a focus on populations that bear an excess burden of morbidity and mortality.
The National Institute of Justice seeks proposals for rigorous research and evaluation projects to fill knowledge gaps in two topical areas: studies on the root causes and consequences of school violence, and examinations of the impact and effectiveness of school safety approaches implemented for purposes authorized under the STOP School Violence Act.
The purpose of this program is to strengthen the institutional base of the humanities by enabling infrastructure development and capacity building. This program supports the purchase, design, construction, restoration, or renovation of facilities for humanities activities. Projects are financed through a combination of federal matching funds and related fundraising from nonfederal third parties.
