Cybersecurity Innovation for Cyberinfrastructure

Deadline:   March 1, 2017

Advancements in data-driven scientific research depend on trustworthy and reliable cyberinfrastructure. Researchers rely on a variety of networked technologies and software tools to achieve their scientific goals. These may include local or remote instruments, wireless sensors, software programs, operating systems, database servers, high-performance computing, large-scale storage, and other critical infrastructure connected by high-speed networking.

Energy-Efficient Computing: from Devices to Architectures

Deadline: March 7, 2017

This partnership will specifically support new research to minimize the energy impacts of processing, storing, and moving data within future computing systems, and will be synergistic with other research activities that address other aspects of this overarching energy-constrained computing performance challenge.

NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program

Deadline: March 29, 2017

Recognizing that financial aid alone cannot increase retention and graduation in STEM, the program provides awards to Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) to fund scholarships and to advance the adaptation, implementation, and study of effective evidence-based curricular and co-curricular activities that support recruitment, retention, transfer (if appropriate), student success, academic/career pathways, and graduation in STEM.

February NSF Opportunities

Posted on by

Perception, Action & Cognition (PAC)

Deadline: February 1, 2017

The PAC program funds theoretically motivated research on a wide-range of topic areas focused on typical human behavior. The aim is to enhance the fundamental understanding of perceptual, motor, and cognitive processes and their interactions. Central research topics for consideration by the program include (but are not limited to) vision, audition, haptics, attention, memory, reasoning, written and spoken language, motor control, categorization, and spatial cognition.

Science of Organizations  (SoO)

Deadline: February 2, 2017

The Science of Organizations (SoO) program funds basic research that yields a scientific evidence base for improving the design and emergence, development and deployment, and management and ultimate effectiveness of organizations of all kinds.

Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science  (NSF INCLUDES)

Deadline: Preliminary Proposal due February 14, 2017.  Full Proposal due May 16, 2017

Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) is a comprehensive national initiative designed to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) discoveries and innovations focused on NSF’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and broadening participation in these fields.

SOCIOLOGY PROGRAM – Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Awards  (Soc-DDRI)

Deadline: February 28, 2017

The Sociology Program supports basic research on all forms of human social organization — societies, institutions, groups and demography — and processes of individual and institutional change. The Program encourages theoretically focused empirical investigations aimed at improving the explanation of fundamental social processes.

Development of Psychosocial Therapeutic and Preventive Interventions for Mental Disorders

Deadline: January 15, 2017

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage Phased Innovation (R61/R33) grant applications that focus on psychosocial intervention development consistent with the NIMH emphasis on the experimental therapeutic approach for the treatment and prevention of mental disorders in adults and children. In this approach, clinical trials should be designed so that even negative results will provide information to guide further intervention development efforts.

Clinical Trials to Test the Effectiveness of Treatment, Preventive, and Services Interventions

Deadline: January 15, 2017

The purpose of this FOA is to support research to test the therapeutic value of treatment, preventive, and services strategies for which there is already evidence of efficacy, for use in community and practice settings and to test hypotheses regarding moderators, mediators, and mechanisms of action of these interventions.

Confirmatory Efficacy Clinical Trials of Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Mental Disorders

Deadline: January 15, 2017

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support confirmatory efficacy testing of non-pharmacological therapeutic and preventive interventions for mental disorders in adults and children that address unmet therapeutic needs, and are consistent with the NIMH emphasis on the experimental therapeutics approach. In this approach, clinical trials should be designed to increase knowledge of the relationship between underlying disease processes and the mechanisms of action through which any intervention produces therapeutic change.

NSF Announcement

Dear Colleagues:

We are pleased to announce that a revised version of the NSF Grants.gov Application Guide has been issued.  The NSF Grants.gov Application Guide has been updated to align with changes to NSF’s Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 17-1). All References to the Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) and Award & Administration Guide (AAG) have been replaced with references to the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG). Editorial changes have also been made to either clarify or enhance the intended meaning of a sentence or section or to ensure consistency with data contained in NSF systems or other NSF policy documents.

The new NSF Grants.gov Application Guide will be effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 30, 2017.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact the Policy Office on (703) 292-8243 or by e-mail to policy@nsf.gov. For technical questions relating to Grants.gov, please contact Grants.gov directly at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
