Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Title: Dear Colleague Letter: Catalyzing Human-Centered Solutions through Research and Innovation in Science, the Environment and Society Application Deadline: Concept outlines are due May 26, 2023 Through this funding opportunity, NSF seeks to invest in ideas that can potentially serve as the basis for a larger, center-scale activity. This DCL is the first step in that process. NSF supports a variety of centers that contribute to its mission and goals. Centers leverage opportunities in science, engineering and technology when the complexity of the research program or the resources needed to solve the problem require greater scope, scale, duration, equipment, research infrastructure, facilities and people. Centers are a principal means by which NSF fosters interdisciplinary research. In this first call, NSF invites proposals of the following types that will bring together experts across disciplines to seed ideas and help inform the possible full-scale implementation of a CRISES center: (1) Conference proposals for up to $100,000, and (2) planning proposals for up to $100,000. Proposals must include the following: (i) A lead principal investigator who is a social, behavioral or economic scientist (with a degree in the SBE sciences or significant publications in SBE journals). (ii) A focus on at least one program area currently supported by the SBE directorate. (iii) Planned activities that will bring together experts from a range of disciplines to explore the creation of a center to study and develop solutions to one or more pressing societal issues. Funding Agency: Requests for Information: National Science Foundation Title: Dear Colleague Letter: Request for Information on Future Topics for Workforce Development in Emerging Technology Career Pathways Response Deadline: June 21, 2023 NSF is seeking novel approaches that lead to the recruitment of diverse and creative individuals into emerging technologies. The objective is to develop new funding opportunities that will accelerate efforts to increase both the rate and overall composition of domestic students enrolled in traditional academic pathways into STEM disciplines that will lead to emerging technology careers. Of equal priority is the interest in developing new funding opportunities that focus on flexible, non-traditional pathways into emerging technology careers, through support of continuous lifelong learning as a critical strategy to access high-paying jobs in these areas. For example, NSF’s new ExLENT Program (NSF 23-507) recognized the opportunity to engage the broadest range of traditional and nontraditional participants by creating three distinct tracks: Pivots (aimed to attract current professionals with transferrable soft skills to pivot into emerging tech), Beginnings (aimed at individuals with some STEM competencies to deepen their knowledge and skills in emerging tech), and Explorations (aimed to provide individuals with limited or no specialized STEM education an opportunity to explore emerging tech). Thus, NSF recognizes that there are many constituents with diverse perspectives that will work in partnership to effectively address grand challenges in workforce development. NSF seeks, through this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), input on ways to make educational pathways into emerging technology careers accessible to any American interested in participating in the U.S. research and innovation enterprise. Funding Agency: Requests for Information: National Science Foundation Title: Dear Colleague Letter: Request for Information on the Capacity of Institutions of Higher Education to Produce Graduates with Degrees, Certifications, and Relevant Skills Related to Artificial Intelligence Response Deadline: June 21, 2023 The primary objective of this DCL is to seek information that can help with an assessment of the capacity of institutions of higher education to produce graduates with degrees, certifications, and relevant skills related to AI. In addition, this DCL aims to collect information about existing resources for AI education, such as model curricula, concept inventories, or AI education and workforce development initiatives. Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Title: Dear Colleague Letter: Rapidly Accelerating Research on Artificial Intelligence in K-12 Education in Formal and Informal Settings Application Deadline: Required Concept Outlines may be submitted at any time. This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) invites researchers to submit Rapid Response Research (RAPID) proposals for time-sensitive research including, but not limited to:
- Developing AI tools and environments to advance age-appropriate equitable learning and inclusive teaching;
- Supporting learning about and interest in AI;
- Using AI to teach AI; and,
- Integrating generative AI in education in an ethical, responsible, and effective way.
Proposed projects must include strong data-driven research methods in need of a quick response due to rapidly changing AI. NSF strongly encourages proposals that will sustain and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM education research. Likewise, NSF is seeking proposals that will have an impact on underserved and underrepresented schools and communities. Requests for RAPID proposals may be for up to $200K and up to one year in duration.
