Title Critical-Zone Collaborative Network Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description NSF seeks proposals to establish an adaptive and responsive research network that supports investigations of the Earth’s Critical Zone. This network will consist of two components that will work together to advance knowledge, education, and outreach in this convergent science: 1) Thematic Clusters of fixed or temporary locations will conduct basic research on significant, overarching scientific questions concerning the structure, function, and processes of the Critical Zone. These U.S.-based Clusters could include existing observatories engaged in collecting environmental data, other monitoring locations that have been in operation for extended periods of time, and new sites that will support the scientific goals of the Cluster; 2) A Coordinating Hub that will oversee the compatibility and archiving of the data resulting from the Thematic Clusters, coordinate outreach and community-building activities, support the use of network facilities by outside researchers, and plan for infrastructure needs of the network. This solicitation invites proposals for either of the two components: 1) Thematic Cluster or 2) Coordinating Hub. The Thematic Clusters will carry out interdisciplinary research on scientific questions and manage part of the network infrastructure; the Coordinating Hub will serve as the national center for the network. The infrastructure of the network will be accessible to other research teams pursuing research in the Critical Zone. More Information https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2019/nsf19586/nsf19586.htm Submission Limits Thematic Clusters: 3 proposals per organization Coordinating Hub: 1 proposal per organization An organization may submit a total of 4 proposals to this competition, 1 for the Coordinating Hub and 3 for the Thematic Clusters.

Title Sound Health Network Agencies National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Description The Sound Health program seeks to expand public understanding of the connections between music and wellness: how music is processed by the brain, how music can impact development and learning, and the therapeutic use of music for specific health conditions. Launched in 2016, Sound Health is a partnership between the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (“Kennedy Center”), in association with the National Endowment for the Arts (“Arts Endowment”) (individually known as “Partner” and collectively known as “the Partnership”). Together with soprano Renée Fleming, the Kennedy Center’s Artistic Advisor at Large, the Partnership has produced concerts, workshops, symposia, and other events to spotlight novel work at the intersection of music, neuroscience, music therapy, and music education. Following publication of a jointly-authored article in the scientific journal Neuron, NIH announced a trans-agency working group and, later, a $5 million research funding opportunity cosponsored by the Arts Endowment. On a parallel track, the Arts Endowment provided support for several NEA Research Labs focused on music and its relationship to neuroscience, cognition, and health and wellness. It has become clear that greater organizational capacity is needed to create and sustain a trans-disciplinary network of researchers and practitioners to promote knowledge about music’s role in brain development and health and wellness across the lifespan. In response to this need, the Arts Endowment will establish the Sound Health Network to connect relevant subject matter experts (individuals and organizations) and other appropriate entities together in order to leverage and inform each other’s work. The Sound Health Network will identify and distribute compelling research, news, and information across to the public; it will regularly convene Sound Health Network participants with audiences and stakeholders who can benefit directly from this knowledge; and it will provide technical and logistical support for collaborations that may occur between participants within the Sound Health Network. Longer-term, the Sound Health Network also will consider the feasibility of exploring how other art forms, in addition to music, may connect with brain and wellness issues. More Information https://www.arts.gov/sites/default/files/FY20-Sound-Health-Network-Program-Solicitation.pdf Submission Limits An organization may submit only one proposal under this program solicitation.

Title National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) Program Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative models for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduate education training. The NRT program seeks proposals that explore ways for graduate students in researchbased master's and doctoral degree programs to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers. The program is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas, through the use of a comprehensive traineeship model that is innovative, evidencebased, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs. Proposals are requested in any interdisciplinary or convergent research theme of national priority, with special emphasis on the research areas in NSF's 10 Big Ideas. The NSF research Big Ideas are Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR), The Future of Work at the HumanTechnology Frontier (FW-HTF), Navigating the New Arctic (NNA), Windows on the Universe: The Era of MultiMessenger Astrophysics (WoU), The Quantum Leap: Leading the Next Quantum Revolution (QL), and Understanding the Rules of Life: Predicting Phenotype (URoL). The NRT program addresses workforce development, emphasizing broad participation, and institutional capacity building needs in graduate education. Strategic collaborations with the private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, national laboratories, field stations, teaching and learning centers, informal science centers, and academic partners are encouraged. NRT especially welcomes proposals that will pair well with the efforts of NSF Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (INCLUDES) to develop STEM talent from all sectors and groups in our society (https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/nsfincludes/index.jsp). Collaborations are encouraged between NRT proposals and existing NSF INCLUDES projects, provided the collaboration strengthens both projects.
