Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Title: Geosciences Open Science Ecosystem Application Deadline: March 16, 2023 The Geosciences Open Science Ecosystem (GEO OSE) program seeks to support sustainable and networked open science activities to foster an ecosystem of inclusive access to data, physical collections, software, advanced computing, and other resources toward advancing research and education in the geosciences. The purpose of this support is to broadly enable geoscientists to leverage expanding information resources and computing capabilities to address interdisciplinary grand challenge research questions at the forefront of the geosciences. Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Title: Strengthening American Infrastructure Application Deadline: March 15, 2023 Strengthening American Infrastructure (SAI) is an NSF program seeking to stimulate human-centered fundamental and potentially transformative research aimed at strengthening America’s infrastructure. Effective infrastructure provides a strong foundation for socioeconomic vitality and broad improvement in quality of life. Strong, reliable and effective infrastructure spurs private-sector innovation, grows the economy, creates jobs, makes public-sector service provision more efficient, strengthens communities, promotes equal opportunity, protects the natural environment, enhances national security and fuels American leadership. Achieving these objectives requires the integration of expertise from across all science and engineering disciplines. SAI focuses on how fundamental knowledge about human reasoning and decision-making, governance, and social and cultural processes enables the building and maintenance of effective infrastructure that improves lives and society and builds on advances in technology and engineering. Successful projects will represent a convergence of expertise in one or more social, behavioral or economic sciences, deeply integrated with other disciplines to support substantial and potentially pathbreaking fundamental research applied to strengthening a specific focal infrastructure. Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Title: Design for Environmental Sustainability in Computing Application Deadline: March 17, 2023 (Type I and Type II projects; Type III projects are accepted anytime) The DESC solicitation seeks to bring together teams to work toward solutions that address sustainability in new and measurably different ways that are inclusive of the breadth of computing and information science and engineering research, with the ultimate goal of holistic order of magnitude improvements in the environmental sustainability of computing. DESC projects should go beyond solely energy efficiency to address a more complete set of environmentally sustainable outcomes in terms of (but not limited to) metrics of GHGs, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), consumption and disposal of rare materials, heat, wastewater, recyclability, and longevity, along with potential interactions between these metrics. Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Title: Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future Application Deadline: March 13, 2023 This solicitation is open to all materials research topics. DMREF reflects the Administration’s priorities for strengthening American leadership in technologies and industries of the future that are critical to the nation’s health, economic prosperity, national security, and scientific enterprise. DMREF aligns with emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, quantum information science, semiconductors and microelectronics, advanced manufacturing, advanced communication technologies, and biotechnology. DMREF is supportive of OSTP’s multi-agency research and development priorities including clean energy technologies and infrastructure. Furthermore, DMREF aligns with national priorities for defense and homeland security, information technologies and high-performance computing, critical minerals and sustainability, and human health and welfare. DMREF supports the development of critical and emerging technologies as have been identified in a recent report by the NSTC. Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Title: Research Coordination Networks (RCN) Application Deadline: Proposals accepted anytime The goal of the RCN program is to advance a field or create new directions in research or education by supporting groups of investigators to communicate and coordinate their research, training and educational activities across disciplinary, organizational, geographic, and international boundaries. The RCN program provides opportunities to foster new collaborations, including international partnerships where appropriate, and address interdisciplinary topics. Innovative ideas for implementing novel networking strategies, collaborative technologies, training, broadening participation, and development of community standards for data and meta- data are especially encouraged. RCN awards are not meant to support existing networks; nor are they meant to support the activities of established collaborations. RCN awards also do not support primary research. Rather, the RCN program supports the means by which investigators can share information and ideas; coordinate ongoing or planned research activities; foster synthesis and new collaborations; develop community standards; and in other ways advance science and education through communication and sharing of ideas. Funding Agency: Department of Energy Title: Nonproliferation & Arms Control Program Studies, Training & Outreach Application Deadline: February 17, 2023 The U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA), Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (DNN), Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control (DNN NPAC) is soliciting applications for nuclear safeguards, export controls, verification, and policy needs described herein. Funding Agency: Department of Energy Title: Office of Science Distributed Resilient Systems Application Deadline: March 30, 2023 The computational workflows associated with modern science are becoming increasingly complex, often processing an astounding amount of data generated by geographically-distributed instruments. The data is analyzed using a variety of local and remote compute resources and integrated with simulations and artificial intelligence (AI)--enhanced models to both direct the ongoing experiments and inform scientific progress. The future continuation of this trend is outlined by the 2022 report on Envisioning Science in 2050. Pursuing innovative research directions in techniques for advanced middleware and operating and runtime systems is critical to address the unprecedented challenges in implementing future workflows. These research directions may involve, but are not limited to, coordinating work on: a) billions of threads of execution on a supercomputer; b) several geographically-separated supercomputers; c) advanced experimental systems which produce hundreds of petabytes of data each day; and/or d), billions of distributed sensors monitoring the climate or other systems of interest. Recognizing that in systems of this size and complexity sporadic failures of individual components are inevitable, scientific workflows and their supporting middleware and system software must be designed with resilience in mind. Funding Agency: Department of Energy Title: Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers & Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) – 2022/2023 Application Deadline: April 05, 2023 The 2022/2023 BENEFIT FOA will invest up to $15.35M -$45.2M across 5 topic areas to allow all interested parties to research and develop high-impact, cost-effective technologies and practices that will reduce carbon emissions, improve flexibility and resilience, as well as lower energy costs.
- Topic 1: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning and Water Heating: Technologies with improved materials, components, equipment design and engineering, lower cost manufacturing processes, and easier installation.
