Idaho Science and Technology Policy Fellowship (ISTPF)
The Idaho Science and Technology Policy Fellowship (ISTPF), a nonpartisan program, is thrilled to announce the third call for ISTP fellows. This is an opportunity for outstanding scientists, social scientists, and engineers to learn firsthand about policymaking while using their knowledge and skills to address pressing challenges facing Idaho. Fellows support decision-makers in Idaho, serving in yearlong assignments across state government. Portfolios include topics such as water, energy, fire, public health, economic development, and more. As an ISTP fellow, you will have the opportunity to use your expertise to help shape policies that affect all Idahoans. Fellows are provided with compensation, benefits, orientation, professional development, mentorship, a travel allowance, and administrative support. If you have questions about the ISTPF, then please contact istpf@uidaho.edu. An online information session will be held in February; details to come. The ISTPF is a collaborative effort among Boise State University, Idaho State University, and University of Idaho, and is led by the McClure Center for Public Policy Research.
Due Date: March 27, 2022

Idaho State and Shoshone Bannock Tribe Workshop Series
(Re)Cultivating & (Re)Newing Reciprocal Research: Working toward collaborative Tribal-University research relationships
Idaho State University, in collaboration with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe, is hosting a workshop series in spring 2022: Native-University Collaborative Research Workshop Series. The workshop series is designed to train Native and non-Native researchers to support more equitable collaborative research relationships among Idaho Tribes, communities, and universities. This is an in-person workshop series that is funded by the National Science Foundation Idaho EPSCoR Program under award number OIA-1757324.
This workshop series is designed to facilitate co-investigation, introspection, and discussion about the development of more equitable, collaborative research relationships among Idaho Tribes, communities, and universities.
Each workshop features a keynote address and hands-on/discussion-based activities. The first day of the workshop series (February 4th) is now online. The second and third workshop days (March and April ) are currently planned in person, with the possibility of moving online. The workshop series is designed to be cumulative, so participation in all three dates is encouraged. Registration will be limited to the first 100 participants.

New NIH Equipment Opportunities
High-End Instrumentation (HEI)
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to continue the High-End Instrumentation (HEI) Grant Program administered by ORIP. The objective of the Program is to make available to institutions high-end research instruments that can only be justified on a shared-use basis and that are needed for NIH-supported projects in basic, translational, and clinical biomedical or biobehavioral research. The HEI program provides funds to purchase or upgrade a single item of expensive, leading-edge, specialized, commercially available instrument or an integrated instrumentation system. An integrated instrumentation system is one in which the components, when used in conjunction with one another, perform a function that no single component can provide. The components must be dedicated to the system and not used independently.
Open Date: May 1, 2022
Funding Amount: $600,001 – $2,000,000

Shared Instrumentation Grant (SIG)
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to continue the Shared Instrumentation Grant (SIG) Program administered by ORIP. The objective of the Program is to make available to institutions high-priced research instruments that can only be justified on a shared-use basis and that are needed for NIH-supported projects in basic, translational, or clinical biomedical and biobehavioral research. The SIG Program provides funds to purchase or upgrade a single item of expensive, state-of-the-art, specialized, commercially available instrument or an integrated instrumentation system.
