NSF Expanding Geographic and Institutional Diversity in Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences
The National Science Foundation (NSF) released the Dear Colleague Letter: Expanding Geographic and Institutional Diversity in Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE). This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) aims to broaden geographic and demographic participation, to promote SBE-funded activities, and enable sustainable growth in the competitiveness of EPSCoR jurisdictions, including but not limited to:
- Research proposals to SBE core and cross-cutting programs, including Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER), Rapid Response Research (RAPID), and conference proposals.
- Supplemental funding for existing awards.
- Proposals to NSF-wide programs involving the SBE sciences.
- Infrastructure investments to build research capacity.
NSF Enhancing STEM Education, Research Capacity, and Workforce Development in EPSCoR Jurisdictions
The National Science Foundation (NSF) released the Dear Colleague Letter: Enhancing STEM Education, Research Capacity, and Workforce Development in Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Jurisdictions. This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) calls for proposals and supplemental funding requests that address one or more of the following goals of the Directorate for STEM Education (EDU):
- Prepare the next generation of STEM professionals and attract and retain more Americans to STEM careers.
- Develop a robust research community that can conduct rigorous research and evaluation that will support excellence in STEM education and that integrates research and education.
- Increase the technological, scientific, and quantitative literacy of all Americans so that they can successfully participate in every realm of citizenship, living productive lives in an increasingly technological society.
- Broaden participation (e.g., individuals, geographic regions, types of institutions, and STEM disciplines) and close achievement gaps in all STEM fields.
Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center
The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC) has two current funding opportunities open to faculty and researchers.
FY2025 NW CASC Project Solicitation
The NW CASC invites Statements of Interest for their Federal Fiscal Year 2025 Research Project solicitation, for projects that focus on developing knowledge and resources to address 1) the effectiveness of management or adaptation strategies, 2) climate adaptation strategies for estuaries and coastal ecosystems and 3) management and climate adaptation strategies for sagebrush and juniper ecosystems, with a focus on the Great Basin. Proposals developed in response to this project solicitation should focus on developing scientific information and products that can be directly applied to specific management challenges, either locally or broadly across landscapes in Idaho, Oregon, Washington and western Montana.
Amount
Up to $350,000
Duration
24-36 months
Due Date
Statements of Interest due May 23, 2024
FY2025 Faculty Fellowship Program
The NW CASC is now accepting proposals for their 2025 Faculty Fellowship Program. This one-year, last-mile program aims to support efforts to make existing research more usable for natural and cultural resource managers facing climate-related risks and challenges. To achieve this aim, the program supports research involving faculty at NW CASC Consortium institutions and provides skills-building opportunities around the co-production of decision-relevant (i.e., “actionable”) science. The NW CASC invites proposals from faculty and non-faculty scientists with primary investigator status. The NW CASC 2025 Faculty Fellowship Program funding will run from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.
