Basic Energy Sciences - Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (BES-RENEW)
Agencies
Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW) aims to build foundations for Office of Science (SC) research and training at institutions historically underrepresented in the SC research portfolio. RENEW leverages SC’s unique national laboratories, user facilities, and other research infrastructures to provide undergraduate and graduate training opportunities (i.e., internships) for students and academic institutions not currently well represented in the U.S. science and technology (S&T) ecosystem. The hands-on experiences gained through the RENEW initiative will open new career avenues for participants, forming a nucleus for a future pool of talented young scientists, engineers, and technicians with the critical skills and expertise needed for the full breadth of SC research activities. Principal Investigators, key personnel, students and postdocs of RENEW awards will be invited to participate in cross-Basic Energy Sciences researcher meetings and/or SC-wide professional development and collaborator events.
The goal of the Basic Energy Sciences (BES) RENEW program is to increase participation of underrepresented groups in BES’s clean energy research portfolio. BES is fully committed to advancing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive research community, which is key to providing the scientific and technical expertise for U.S. scientific leadership. This pilot program is intended to leverage BES’s world-unique national laboratories and user facilities to provide training and research opportunities for students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty from non-R1 minority serving institutions (MSIs) [1,2], including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) [3], currently underrepresented in the BES portfolio [4]. Institutions with the R1 Carnegie Classification are excluded from applying. The hands-on experiences gained through research internships at a DOE national laboratory can open new career avenues for the participants, who will gain the critical skills and expertise needed for the full breadth of BES research activities
Proposals for BES-RENEW awards are limited to hypothesis-driven basic and fundamental chemical and materials sciences research that underpins clean energy technologies and low-carbon manufacturing in at least one of two topic areas:
• Basic and Fundamental Science to Enable Clean Energy: Research to provide understanding and scientific foundations for clean energy, including but not limited to direct air capture of carbon dioxide; hydrogen production, storage, and use; solar energy conversion to electricity and fuels; and electrical and thermal energy storage.
• Basic and Fundamental Science to Transform Low-Carbon Manufacturing: Research to understand fundamental chemical and materials processes for low-carbon, circular, clean, and scalable manufacturing, synthesis, and processing; to advance transformational operando characterization and multiscale models and tools related to these areas; and to co-design materials, processes, and products for functionality and use.

Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas.
The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. Activities supported through the program are in all sub-fields of physics within the purview of the Division of Physics: atomic, molecular, optical, plasma, elementary particle, nuclear, particle astro-, gravitational, and biological physics. Interdisciplinary projects at the interface between these physics areas and other disciplines and physics sub-fields may also be considered, although the bulk of the effort must fall within one of those areas within the purview of the Division of Physics.
The successful PFC activity will demonstrate: (1) the potential for a profound advance in physics; (2) creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, diversity, and public outreach; (3) potential for broader impacts, e.g., impacts on other field(s) and benefits to society; (4) a synergy or value-added rationale that justifies a center- or institute-like approach.
The PFC program is designed to provide support to enable research at the frontiers of physics when the activities are of a scope and complexity that would not be feasible with standard individual investigator or small group support. Through the PFC program university researchers can form centers, institutes, or large group efforts that lead to major new ideas, discoveries, or broad advances in physics or at the boundaries of physics with other disciplines. Proposals for PFC support may address any area within the purview of the Division of Physics, including interdisciplinary and emerging areas of research.
The main characteristics of a PFC-supported unit are tailored by the Principal Investigators to most effectively address the chosen physics goals. Therefore, every unit will be different. Some may be centers; others may be institutes. Some may be stand-alone efforts; others may be intellectually-connected parts of a larger unit. Whatever the type of organization, it is expected that the PFC-supported unit will have some or all of the following characteristics of successful units of similar size and complexity in physics and other fields. In no particular order, these are: (1) combining talent, skills, or facilities required for a major advance in physics; (2) combining groups, departments, institutions, etc. required to make a major advance in physics; (3) providing critical mass or specialized infrastructure needed for an advance by the unit, and often the broader field; (4) providing the context and/or organization to bring together leaders and students to initiate work in a promising new area, a new interdisciplinary field, an important application, or a new facility of strategic importance to physics; (5) fostering field-wide exploration of frontier research within the community at large; (6) making available specialized infrastructure to others; and (7) creating innovative projects to promote education, the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups in science, and public outreach using the center as a focal point.
Investigators making up the unit requesting PFC funding may already have, or choose to apply for, funding outside the context of the PFC funds. The combination of PFC support with other support for the major investigators will be handled in the following way: If the existing individual support is for work not related to the PFC, it must be listed in the proposal to indicate the context of the proposed work. If an existing grant is related to the objectives of the proposed PFC, that support could be considered to be a base for the incremental PFC support that would then contribute to the additional benefits expected from the PFC. If no related support exists, or if the PIs so choose, the PFC budget can include all support for the activity. Examples of both approaches exist, and the PIs are encouraged to discuss such matters with the cognizant Program Director prior to submitting the preliminary proposal. Whatever the choice made, however, it is critical to demonstrate that the research for which PFC funds are requested is connected to the overall PFC-supported activity in such a way as to foster progress that would not be realized in the absence of the synergy provided by the PFC effort.
Preliminary Proposals (required): Preliminary proposals are required and must be submitted via Research.gov even if full proposals will be submitted via Grants.gov.

REACHING A NEW ENERGY SCIENCES WORKFORCE FOR HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS (RENEW-HEP)
Agencies
Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
The DOE SC High Energy Physics (HEP) program hereby announces its interest in receiving
applications for the REaching a New Energy sciences Workforce for High Energy Physics
(RENEW-HEP) initiative. This program is intended to support training and research experiences
in support of particle physics for members of underserved communities, with the dual goals of :
(1) increasing the likelihood that participants from underrepresented populations, such as those
present at minority serving institutions (MSIs)1
, will pursue a career in a Science, Technology,
Engineering or Math (STEM) related field; and (2) supporting investigators and building
research infrastructure at institutions that have not traditionally been part of the particle physics
portfolio.
This program is informed and influenced by the recommendations in recent reports including the
American Institute of Physics TEAM-UP report (AIP TEAM-UP Report webpage, n.d.) [1].
Applicants to this FOA should be aware of factors identified within that report that may influence the success or failure of trainees funded through this FOA. Some of the most relevant factors include the creation of an environment conducive to the development of a sense of belonging amongst participants, success in fostering a strong sense of physics identity among the participants, and the availability of support to “help students advance academically while earning money”. In addition, the longer duration of the traineeships envisioned here can provide opportunities for more senior participants to help mentor incoming participants, an activity that can support the desire to give back to one’s community and further bolsters physics identity.
Awards for traineeships are expected to include support for research in the particle physics
portfolio as articulated in DE-FOA-0002546[2]. Applications from MSIs are particularly sought,
though it is anticipated that groups from research institutions where substantial research infrastructure is already in place may play an important role in recruiting and hosting participants or cohorts of participants from neighboring institutions, either directly or through partnering arrangements.

IUSE / Professional Formation of Engineers: RevolutionizingEngineering Departments(IUSE/PFE: RED)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (hereinafter referred to as RED) is designed to build upon previous efforts in engineering education research. Specifically, previous and ongoing evaluations of the NSF Engineering Education and Centers Division program and its predecessors, as well as those related programs in the Directorate of Education and Human Resources, have shown that prior investments have significantly improved the first year of engineering students’ experiences, incorporating engineering material, active learning approaches, design instruction, and a broad introduction to professional skills and a sense of professional practice – giving students an idea of what it means to become an engineer. Similarly, the senior year has seen notable change through capstone design experiences, which ask students to synthesize the technical knowledge, skills, and abilities they have gained with professional capacities, using reflective judgment to make decisions and communicate these effectively. However, this ideal of the senior year has not yet been fully realized, because many of the competencies required in capstone design, or required of professional engineers, are only partially introduced in the first year and not carried forward with significant emphasis through the sophomore and junior years.
The Directorates for Engineering (ENG) and Education and Human Resources (EHR) are funding projects as part of the RED program, in alignment with the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) framework and Professional Formation of Engineers (PFE) initiative. These projects are designing revolutionary new approaches to engineering education, ranging from changing the canon of engineering to fundamentally altering the way courses are structured to creating new departmental structures and educational collaborations with industry. A common thread across these projects is a focus on organizational and cultural change within the departments, involving students, faculty, staff, and industry in rethinking what it means to provide an engineering program.
In order to continue to catalyze revolutionary approaches, while expanding the reach of those that have proved efficacious in particular contexts, the RED program supports three tracks: RED Innovation, RED Adaptation and Implementation (RED A&I) and RED Two-Year. RED Innovation projects will develop new, revolutionary approaches and change strategies that enable the transformation of undergraduate engineering education. RED Adaptation and Implementation projects will adapt and implement evidence-based organizational change strategies and actions to the local context, which helps propagate this transformation of undergraduate engineering education. RED Two-Year projects will develop radically new approaches among multiple two-year institutions to expand the path to engineering and engineering technology education. Projects in all tracks will include consideration of the cultural, organizational, structural, and pedagogical changes needed to transform the department to one in which students are engaged, develop their technical and professional skills, and establish identities as professional engineers or technologists.
