Funding Agency: Frontiers Research Foundation Title: Frontiers Planet Prize 2024 Application Deadline: November 01, 2023 (Limited Opportunity: internal deadline is September 15, 2023) The Frontiers Planet Prize will be awarded to the best research published in established peer-reviewed scientific journals, with robust peer review and transparent publication procedures. The acceptance date of the article must fall within the 2 years prior to the launch of the competition (date of acceptance: 1 November 2021 to 31 October 2023). Scientific excellence is the default principle to participate in the Frontiers Planet Prize. The Foundation welcomes research across all disciplines, including social sciences, on condition that it is focused on planetary boundaries and offers new insights that help to reduce the destabilization of the Earth system. Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Title: Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention Phase II Application Deadline: December 08, 2023 Despite decades of research, scientists do not fully understand the dynamic nature of pathogen and disease emergence. Emerging (and re-emerging) pathogens represent a continuing risk to national security because they threaten health (animal, human, and ecosystem) and economic stability. Often, society falls short on the coordination and breadth of expertise needed to respond to such threats. Effective responses to emerging pathogens will require sustained, global-scale efforts of researchers and organizations. This can only be accomplished by synergistic integration of innovative scientific and technological advances across disciplines and scales, and effective knowledge transfer into practice. As part of these efforts, NSF is organizing a set of activities around the broad theme of Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention (PIPP). The PIPP initiative focuses on foundational research and development activities needed totackle grand challenges in infectious disease pandemics through prediction and prevention. The PIPP Phase II Centers Program expands upon the Phase I Development Grant Program and is the NSF’s flagship program to establish a network of Centers or large-scale awards/investments that will support interdisciplinary team-based approaches to accelerate research and development activities in emerging infectious diseases and pandemics. The overall goal of the PIPP Phase II Centers program is to support research and development activities needed to transform society’s ability to forecast the likelihood of pandemic-scale events, detect outbreaks early, and respond efficiently. Funding Agency: National Science Foundation Title: NSF-UEFISCDI Lead Agency Opportunity in the Mathematical Sciences Application Deadline: 60 days before deadline (see below). The Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) within the Mathematical & Physical Sciences Directorate (MPS) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Romanian Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation Funding (UEFISCDI) have created a partnership to support international collaboration under the NSF-UEFISCDI Lead Agency Opportunity in the Mathematical Sciences. The goal of this activity is to promote collaborative research within the mathematical sciences by reducing barriers to conducting research with international collaborators. The NSF-UEFISCDI Lead Agency Opportunity allows U.S. and Romanian researchers to submit a single collaborative proposal that will undergo a single merit review process through NSF as the lead agency. For NSF programs with a proposal submission deadline, project teams should submit the EOI at least 60 days ahead of the proposal submission deadline. For NSF programs without a proposal submission deadline, project teams should submit the EOI 60 days ahead of their intended proposal submission date. Funding Agency: Department of Energy: National Energy Technology Laboratory Title: BIL - Carbon Utilization Procurement Grants under Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Application Deadline: April 30, 2024 The overall objective of the planned Funding Opportunity Announcement is to support DOE’s current vision of the Carbon Utilization Procurement Grants Program which will illustrate that several incumbent products can be replaced or supplemented with alternatives that are derived from the conversion of anthropogenic carbon oxides, demonstrating that significant net reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are possible. These grants will illustrate that more sustainable alternatives are viable and will promote the deployment of these products even after the grant ends.

Funding Agency: Department of Defense: Army Research Laboratory Title: Invisible Materials Research in support of the Sciences of Extreme Materials Competency Application Deadline: Conduct a preliminary inquiry with an ARL TPOC The Invisible Materials Portfolio seeks to identify novel electromagnetic spectrum materials (EMS) for use in a wide range of military applications. The portfolio seeks materials with advanced capabilities to increase, decreases or alter the energy emitted, scattered or absorbed in a controlled manner. Funding Agency: Department of Defense: Army Research Laboratory Title: Invincible Materials Research in support of the Sciences of Extreme Materials Competency Application Deadline: Conduct a preliminary inquiry with an ARL TPOC The invincible materials portfolio focuses on the fundamental, basic and applied material science and engineering to identify novel and emerging materials, systems and technologies for use across multiple high valued platforms and systems. The portfolio seeks to expand knowledge of materials and the related science and engineering of all materials classes with respect to synthesis, processing, development of novel materials or feedstocks, methods, advanced manufacturing techniques, experimentation, high through put techniques, machine learning, characterization, and modeling and simulation. The portfolio seeks to enable the discovery, development, design and integration of emerging structural, chemical and biological protection, electronic, laser and energy, materials in traditional and extreme environments such as materials under high rate and dynamic conditions. The portfolio also seeks material science and manufacturing technologies that supports the soldier, combat vehicles, combat support vehicles and other high valued assets to enable improved performance and survivability. Funding Agency: Department of Defense: Army Research Laboratory Title: Electric- and Magnetic-Field Sensor Technology Application Deadline: Conduct a preliminary inquiry with an ARL TPOC Research proposals are desired that are related to small, rugged, low-power electric- and magnetic-field sensors that can be deployed on a battlefield using artillery-based delivery systems, or scattered from air or ground vehicles, or emplaced by individual soldiers. These sensors should be passive or semi-active (i.e., with no local field-generating element), and may operate at low frequencies in the quasi-static zone (or "near field"), where the electric and magnetic fields are not coupled. These sensors should be characterized by exceptionally low power, size, weight, and cost, and/or by exceptionally high sensitivity and low noise (i.e., with performance limited by the background environment). Sensor bandwidth generally falls between DC and ~1 MHz, but may be further limited for specific applications: e.g., 0.001-10 Hz for anomaly detection; 30-3000 Hz for electric-power sensing; 3-30 kHz for very low frequency (VLF) sensing. Funding Agency: Department of Defense: Army Research Laboratory Title: Advanced Manufacturing Research in support of the Sciences of Extreme Materials Competency Application Deadline: Conduct a preliminary inquiry with an ARL TPOC This area seeks transformational materials that can operate in extreme conditions, and methods to manufacture them readily in the organic US industrial base as well as in austere environments at the point of need.
