Submission Limits
Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization: 1
Only one MRSEC preliminary proposal may be submitted by any one organization as the lead institution in this competition. An institution proposing research in several groups should submit a single MRSEC proposal with multiple Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs). A MRSEC proposal must contain a minimum of 2 IRGs and a maximum of 3 IRGs. The IRGs in a Center may be thematically related, or they may address different aspects of materials science typically supported by DMR. A single Center at an organization allows efficient usage of resources, including common infrastructure, and better coordination of education and other activities of the Center.
Institutions that were awarded a MRSEC in the FY 2020 competition as the lead institution are not eligible to submit a MRSEC proposal as a lead institution in this competition.
MRSEC full proposals may be submitted by invitation only.

Title
Scholarships in STEM Network (S-STEM-Net)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
Through this solicitation, NSF seeks to foster a network of S-STEM stakeholders and further develop the infrastructure needed to generate and disseminate new knowledge, successful practices and effective design principles arising from NSF S-STEM projects nationwide. The ultimate vision of the legislation governing the S-STEM parent program[1] (and of the current S-STEM-Net solicitation) is that all Americans, regardless of economic status, should be able to contribute to the American innovation economy if they so desire.
To support collaboration within the S-STEM network, NSF will fund several S-STEM Research Hubs (S-STEM-Hub). The S-STEM Network (S-STEM-Net) will collaborate to create synergies and sustain a robust national ecosystem consisting of multi-sector partners supporting domestic low-income STEM students in achieving their career goals, while also ensuring access, inclusion, and adaptability to changing learning needs. The Hubs will investigate evolving barriers to the success of this student population. It will also disseminate the context and circumstances by which interventions and practices that support graduation of domestic low-income students (both undergraduate and graduate) pursuing careers in STEM are successful.
The target audience for this dissemination effort is the community of higher education institutions, faculty, scholars, researchers and evaluators, local and regional organizations, industry, and other nonprofit, federal, state, and local agencies concerned with the success of domestic low-income STEM students in the United States.

: 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
Strengthening the Cyberinfrastructure Professionals Ecosystem (SCIPE)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The overarching goal of this solicitation is to democratize access to NSF’s advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) ecosystem.
All projects are expected to clearly articulate how they address essential community needs, will provide resources that will be widely available to and usable by the research community, and will broaden participation from underrepresented groups.
Activities funded through this solicitation are expected to span targeted, multidisciplinary communities, and lead to transformative changes in the state of research workforce preparedness for advanced CI-enabled research in the short- and long-term. This solicitation also seeks to broaden CI access and adoption by (i) increasing the adoption of advanced CI and computational and data-driven methods to a broader range of S&E disciplines and institutions; (ii) enhancing the incorporation of CI professionals into the research enterprise – highlighting the value of those professionals in S&E research; and (iii) effectively utilizing the capabilities of individuals from a diverse set of underrepresented groups. Proposals from, and in partnership with, the communities mentioned above are especially encouraged.
In the short term, projects must catalyze potentially transformative fundamental research in specific NSF-supported disciplines by: providing researcher-facing CIP services; producing innovative, scalable, informal/formal training and educational activities; fostering CIP recognition and career path development in institutions; and informing best practices. The project should focus on recognizing CI professionals in not only a research support role, but rather in integral career paths that center on partnering with research projects within the institution and across institutions on shared research goals.
In the long term, projects should contribute to the larger goals of an educational and research ecosystem that enables computational and data-driven science for all scientists and engineers, with an understanding of computation as the third pillar and data-driven science as the fourth pillar of the scientific discovery process.
