: Focus on Recruiting Emerging Climate and Adaptation Scientists and Transformers
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
Focus On Recruiting Emerging Climate and Adaptation Scientists and Transformers (FORECAST) seeks to
facilitate the transition from status quo graduate career preparation to a student-centered model with a
particular emphasis on building entrepreneurial and innovation capacity at emerging research institutions
(ERIs). Transformers are scientists ready to tackle the challenges the nation and world are facing due to
climate change. This opportunity will adopt the spirit of multiple directives for the research community;for example, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report on Earth
System Science and the Advisory Committee for Environmental Research and Education report on
Engaged Research. These directives call on the research enterprise to support the building of a robust
scientific workforce ready to work with communities in addressing societal challenges. Through
convergence research approaches to address societal challenges, the transdisciplinary researchers
engaged in FORECAST will foster community resilience and the translation of research outcomes for
societal benefits, as well as gain a broader understanding of the governmental context related to these
issues. A new generation of scientists trained in "engaged research" will be expected to have a national
impact in communities that may be disproportionately affected by climate change impacts. The program
will build cohorts of innovative scholars from the full spectrum of diverse talent at emerging research
institutions to include groups historically excluded in science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM). Participants, who are senior students in undergraduate programs and students who are in
master's degree programs, will be supported through intentional professional development activities.
FORECAST participants must be US citizens or permanent residents.
FORECAST proposals will fall into three categories: Track 1, Track 2, and FORECAST Planning grants. Track
1 will support one Coordination Hub, to coordinate support for rising seniors from emerging research
institutions (ERIs) or historically excluded and underserved groups as part of a national cohort to
participate in structured professional development opportunities. Track 2 projects will support cohorts of
Master's degree students at ERIs. Mentorship and capacity building should be central to the cohort
approach. FORECAST Planning grant proposals will build capacity at ERI institutions and with the
appropriate partners to undertake the activities necessary to establish a future FORECAST track 2 cohort

Title
Advanced Computing Systems & Services: Adapting to the Rapid Evolution of Science and Engineering Research
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The intent of this solicitation is to request proposals from organizations who are willing to serve as resource providers within the NSF
Advanced Computing Systems and Services (ACSS) program. Resource providers would (1) provide advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI)
resources in production operations to support the full range of computational- and data-intensive research across all of science and
engineering (S&E), and (2) ensure democratized and equitable access to the proposed resources. The current solicitation is intended to
complement previous NSF investments in advanced computational infrastructure by provisioning resources, broadly defined in this solicitation
to include systems and/or services, in two categories:
Category I, Capacity Resources: production computational resources maximizing the capacity provided to support the
broad range of computation and data analytics needs in S&E research; and
Category II, Innovative Prototypes/Testbeds: innovative forward-looking capabilities deploying novel technologies,
architectures, usage modes, etc., and exploring new target applications, methods, and paradigms for S&E discoveries.
Resource Providers supported via this solicitation will be incorporated into NSF’s ACSS program portfolio. This program complements
investments in leadership-class computing and funds a federation of nationally available HPC resources that are technically diverse and
intended to enable discoveries at a computational scale beyond the research of individual or regional academic institutions. NSF anticipates
that at least 90% of the provisioned resource will be available to the S&E community through an open peer-reviewed national allocation
process and have resource users be supported by community and other support services. Such allocation and support services are expected
to be coordinated through the NSF-funded “Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support” (ACCESS) suite of
services, or an NSF-approved alternative as may emerge. If this is not feasible for the proposed resource, proposers must clearly explain in
detail why this is the case and how they intend to make the proposed resource available to the national S&E community.
The ACSS Program especially seeks broad representation of PIs (including women, underrepresented minorities, and individuals with
disabilities) and institutions (including those that have not historically provided nationally allocatable cyberinfrastructure) in both the community
of resource awardees and resources users to continue growing the scale and diversity of the S&E community.

Submission Limits
Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization:1
An organization may submit only one proposal but may be a subawardee on other proposals responding to this solicitation. The restriction to
no more than one submitted proposal as lead institution is to help ensure that there is appropriate institutional commitment necessary for
responsible oversight, by the potential awardee institution, of a national resource.
Collaborative projects may only be submitted as a single proposal in which a single award is being requested (PAPPG Chapter II.E.3.a). The
involvement of partner organizations should be supported through subawards administered by the submitting organization.
These eligibility constraints will be strictly enforced in order to treat everyone fairly and consistently. In the event that an organization exceeds
this limit, the proposal received within the limit will be accepted based on the earliest date and time of proposal submission (i.e., the first
proposal received will be accepted and the remainder will be returned without review). No exceptions will be made.
Limit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI: 1
An individual may be the PI or co-PI on no more than one proposal that responds to this solicitation. There is no limit on the number of
proposals with which an individual may be associated in other capacities, such as senior personnel.

Title
Major Research Instrumentation Program: (MRI) Instrument Acquisition or Development
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program (MRI Program Website) serves to increase access to multi-user scientific and
engineering instrumentation for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education and not-for-profit
scientific/engineering research organizations. An MRI award supports the acquisition of a multi-user research instrument that is commercially
available through direct purchase from a vendor, or for the personnel costs and equipment that are required for the development of an
instrument with new capabilities, thereby advancing instrumentation capabilities and enhancing expertise for instrument design and fabrication
at academic institutions. MRI instruments are, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs.
MRI provides support to acquire critical research instrumentation without which advances in fundamental science and engineering research
may not otherwise occur. MRI also provides support to obtain next-generation research instruments by developing instruments with new
capabilities that open new opportunities to advance the frontiers in science and engineering research. Additionally, an MRI award is expected
to enhance research training of students who will become the next generation of instrument users, designers and builders.
An MRI proposal may request from NSF up to $4 million for either acquisition or development of a research instrument. Each performing
organization may submit in revised "Tracks" as defined below, with no more than two (2) submissions in Track 1 and no more than one (1)
submission in Track 2. For the newly defined Track 3, no more than one (1) submission per competition is permitted. As a result, it is now
possible for an institution to submit up to four MRI proposals within the Track limits as described above.
Track 1: Track 1 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than $100,0001 and less than $1,400,000.
Track 2: Track 2 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $1,400,000 up to and including
$4,000,000.
Track 3: Track 3 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,0001 and less than or equal to
$4,000,000 that include the purchase, installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment and instrumentation to conserve or
reduce the consumption of helium. Institutions may submit no more than one Track 3 proposal. Submission of a Track 3
proposal does not impact limits that apply for Track 1 and Track 2 proposals.
Cost sharing requirements for new awards in the MRI Program are waived for a period of 5 years beginning with the FY 2023 MRI
competition. Institutional submission limits for Track 1, Track 2 and Track 3 proposals remain.
The MRI Program especially seeks broad representation of groups, institutions, and geographic regions that are underrepresented in STEM
disciplines. Proposals from women, underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities and early-career PIs are encouraged, as are
proposals that benefit early-career researchers and proposals with PIs from geographically under-served regions, including EPSCoR
jurisdictions. Additionally, proposals are encouraged from under-resourced institutions, including from emerging research institutions, where
MRI can significantly build capacity for research.
1 Track 1 proposals requesting funds from NSF less than $100,000 will be accepted only from: a) eligible performing organizations requesting
instrumentation supporting research in the disciplines of mathematics or social, behavioral and economic sciences; or b)

Submission Limits
Two (2) in Track 1, one (1) in Track 2 and one (1) in Track 3 as described below. Potential PIs are advised to contact their sponsored projects
office well in advance of the MRI submission window regarding processes used to select proposals for submission.
The MRI program requires that an MRI-eligible organization may, as a performing organization, submit or be included as a significantly
funded2 subawardee in no more than three MRI proposals in Tracks 1 and 2 as defined below, with no more than two (2) submissions in Track
1 and no more than one (1) submission in Track 2. One (1) additional submission is permitted in the newly defined Track 3. As a result, it is
now possible for an institution to submit up to four MRI proposals within the Track limits described above.
Any MRI proposal may request support for either the acquisition or development of a research instrument or an upgrade of an existing
research instrument. Within their submission limit, NSF strongly encourages an organization to submit proposals for innovative development
projects.
Track 1: Track 1 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,0001 and less than $1,400,000.
Track 2: Track 2 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $1,400,000 up to and including
$4,000,000.
Track 3 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,0001 and less than or equal to
$4,000,000 for requests that include the purchase,

General Social Survey Competition
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The General Social Survey (GSS) is a nationally representative interview survey of the United States adult
population that collects data on a wide range of topics: behavioral items such as group membership and
participation; personal psychological evaluations including measures of well-being, misanthropy and life
satisfaction; attitudinal questions on such public issues as crime and punishment, race relations, gender
roles and spending priorities; and demographic characteristics of respondents and their parents. The GSS
has provided data on contemporary American society since 1972, serving as a barometer of social change
and trends in attitudes, behaviors and attributes of the United States adult population. In 1984, the GSS
stimulated cross-national research by collaborating with Australia, Britain and Germany to develop data
collection programs modeled on the GSS. This program of comparative cross-national research, called the
International Social Survey Program (ISSP), now includes 43 nations and enables researchers and analysts
to place findings and trends from the United States within a comparative context.
Since its inception, the GSS has completed 34 in-person, cross-sectional surveys of the adult household
population of the United States with response rates that exceed 50 percent. The survey is currently fielded
biennially. Data from the GSS are made available to scholars, students and the public for research,
analysis and educational activities within 12 months of data collection.
Several innovations have been initiated over the past 15 years, most of which warrant continuation. Most
significantly, the GSS has been exploring a substantial use of web mode while maintaining the integrity of
the time series. The 2022 and 2024 surveys used web mode in various combinations with face-to-face
administration for purposes of testing and comparison. A collaboration with the American National Election Studies (ANES) was initiated for the 2020 election and continued for the 2024 election. Other
innovations are linkages with administrative data made possible by asking respondents for permission
(since 2018) and use of post-stratification weights (since 2020).
The Research Infrastructure in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Program (RISBS) in the Directorate for
Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences expects to make one award for the next four-year funding cycle,
fiscal years 2025-2028, to support the 2026 and 2028 GSS and the U.S. component of the ISSP survey. We
anticipate an award in the range of $14 million and at most $16 million over four years to support two
waves of data collection, dissemination activities, and outreach. The expected starting date is August 2025.

Title
CyberCorps(R) Scholarship for Service (SFS)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
Cyberspace has transformed the daily lives of people. Society's overwhelming reliance on cyberspace, however, has exposed the system's
fragility and vulnerabilities: corporations, agencies, national infrastructure, and individuals continue to suffer cyber-attacks. Achieving a truly
secure cyberspace requires addressing both challenging scientific and engineering problems involving many components of a system, and
vulnerabilities that stem from human behaviors and choices. Examining the fundamentals of security and privacy as a multidisciplinary subject
can lead to fundamentally new ways to design, build, and operate cyber systems, protect existing infrastructure, and motivate individuals to
learn about cybersecurity. The Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014, as amended by the National Defense Authorization Acts for 2018 and
2021, and the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, authorizes the National Science Foundation (NSF), in coordination with the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to offer a scholarship program to recruit and train the next generation
of cybersecurity professionals to meet the needs of the cybersecurity mission of federal, state, local, and tribal governments. The goals of the
CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program are aligned with the U.S. strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce. The
program goals are to: (1) increase the number of qualified and diverse cybersecurity candidates for government cybersecurity positions; (2)
improve the national capacity for the education of cybersecurity professionals and research and development workforce; (3) hire, monitor, and
retain high-quality CyberCorps® graduates in the cybersecurity mission of the Federal Government; and (4) strengthen partnerships between
institutions of higher education and federal, state, local, and tribal governments. While all three agencies work together on all four goals, NSF’s
strength is in the first two goals; OPM’s in goal (3); and DHS in goal (4).
The SFS Program welcomes proposals to establish or to continue scholarship programs in cybersecurity. A proposing institution must provide
clearly documented evidence of a strong existing academic program in cybersecurity. In addition to information provided in the proposal
narrative, such evidence can include ABET accreditation in cybersecurity; a designation by the National Security Agency and the Department
of Homeland Security as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE), in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO) or in
Research (CAE-R); or equivalent evidence documenting a strong program in cybersecurity.
Service Obligation: All scholarship recipients must work after graduation in the cybersecurity mission of a federal, state, local, or tribal
government organization, or certain other qualifying entities, for a period equal to at least the length of the scholarship.
The SFS Program also supports efforts leading to an increase in the ability of the United States higher education enterprise to produce
cybersecurity professionals. Funding opportunities in this area are provided via the Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace - Education
Designation (SaTC-EDU) and other programs (see the section "Increasing National Capacity in Cybersecurity Education" for more details.)

Public Interest Technology University Network Challenge (PIT-UN)
Description
The Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) Challenge is a unique program that drives equitable innovation in technology across academia, government, industry and civil society. Since 2019, the Challenge has deployed over $15 million to build new courses, research centers, community and government partnerships, certificates and degrees, internships, fellowships and more.
In 2023, 14 grants totaling $1.5 million were awarded to further develop a research community and workforce as passionate about public interest as they are about developing breakthrough technologies.
In 2024, Year 6 of the Network Challenge, we anticipate supporting 10 – 15 projects led by PIT-UN Members that are:
Educational offerings that foster cross-disciplinary perspectives and credentialing, or
Career pipeline/placement efforts to develop a public interest technology workforce in government, industry, and social impact organizations.
Members of PIT-UN lead Network Challenge projects, often in partnership with other universities, community organizations, nonprofits, government offices or companies. In Year 6, the Challenge will support new ideas and frameworks for advancing public interest technology in the following area:
Climate and Environment
State & Local Government Partnerships
Democracy & Elections
AI, Quantum & Emerging Technologies
Gender Justice
We are particularly interested in projects that do not replicate existing and previously funded projects but offer a new approach or lens for public interest technology. Each of the past 145 Network Challenge projects has a distinctive strategy to advance technology that serves all communities, especially those historically excluded from or marginalized by technology’s design, deployment and governance.
Successful Network Challenge applications require a thorough and ongoing review of past projects and the full Request for Proposals.

Title
Youth Open Geospatial Data Activity (USAID YODA)
Agencies
USAID (USAID)
Description
Through the USAID Youth Open Geospatial Data Activity (USAID YODA) Addendum to the
YouthPower 2 (YP2) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA20APS00007, the
USAID GeoCenter intends to empower local communities by equipping university-aged
youth to use open source geospatial data and technology to address local challenges.
Concepts should focus on youth development of skills to create new geographic data,
make maps, and perform geospatial analysis using remote sensing and geographic
information systems (GIS). Concepts should also emphasize the creation of geospatial
data as a digital public good (DPG) to support local resilience, economic opportunity,
and overall citizen empowerment.
Data and analyses created as part of this Addendum will address USAID priorities such
as climate change, public health, food security, gender equity, and those that serve
development and humanitarian assistance efforts. USAID’s principles of equity and inclusion are paramount and should be integral to any program considered under this APS. Subject to the availability of funds, the USAID GeoCenter anticipates supporting
one to three new awards of up to $7.5 million over the course of five years.
USAID encourages applicants to become aware of the prohibitions associated with
Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal
Year (FY) 2019 Section (a)(1)(B) and Section (b)(1) of the law. Effective August 13, 2020,
2 CFR 200.216 for U.S. organizations and the mandatory standard provision “Prohibition
on Certain Telecommunication and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment (August
2020)” for non-U.S. organizations prohibits the use of award funds, including direct and
indirect costs, cost-share and program income, to procure covered telecommunication
and video surveillance services or equipment. Applicants should reference the USAID
Section 889 Partner website for more information.
Unless otherwise stated herein, all terms and conditions of the YP2 APS apply.
