Title Medical Research Program Agencies W. M. Keck Foundation Description The Foundation strives to fund endeavors that are distinctive and novel in their approach. It encourages projects that are high-risk with the potential for transformative impact. "High-risk" comprises a number of factors, including questions that push the edge of the field, present unconventional approaches to intractable problems, or challenge the prevailing paradigm. In all our programs, "transformative" may mean creation of a new field of research, development of new instrumentation enabling observations not previously possible, or discovery of knowledge that challenges prevailing perspectives. In addition to the above, in the Southern California Program, transformative may also mean positioning an organization for growth and adaptability. Applicants may find it helpful to look over the abstracts of recent grants for understanding funding priorities. Grant abstracts may be found on our website within the particular program of interest. Funding is awarded to universities and institutions nationwide for projects in research that: 1. Focus on important and emerging areas of research 2. Have the potential to develop breakthrough technologies, instrumentation or methodologies 3. Are innovative, distinctive and interdisciplinary 4. Demonstrate a high level of risk due to unconventional approaches, or by challenging the prevailing paradigm 5. Have the potential for transformative impact, such as the founding of a new field of research, the enabling of observations not previously possible, or the altered perception of a previously intractable problem 6. Does not focus on clinical or translational research, treatment trials or research for the sole purpose of drug development 7. Fall outside the mission of public funding agencies 8. Demonstrate that private philanthropy generally, and the W. M. Keck Foundation in particular, is essential to the project’s success More Information http://www.wmkeck.org/ Submission Limits One per deadline Deadlines Internal Notice of Intent Dec 22, 2020 Notification of Internal Competition Dec 23, 2020 Internal Pre-proposal Jan 5, 2021 Results of Internal Competition Jan 18, 2021 Agency Notice of Intent/Pre-proposal N/A Agency Proposal May 1, 2021

Title Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) funds research projects that identify (1) factors that are effective in the formation of ethical STEM researchers and (2) approaches to developing those factors in all STEM fields that NSF supports. ER2 solicits proposals for research that explores the following: "What constitutes responsible conduct for research (RCR), and which cultural and institutional contexts promote ethical STEM research and practice and why?" Do certain labs have a "culture of academic integrity?" What practices contribute to the establishment and maintenance of ethical cultures and how can these practices be transferred, extended to, and integrated into other research and learning settings?" Factors one might consider include: honor codes, professional ethics codes and licensing requirements, an ethic of service and/or service learning, life-long learning requirements, curricula or memberships in organizations (e.g. Engineers without Borders) that stress responsible conduct for research, institutions that serve under-represented groups, institutions where academic and research integrity are cultivated at multiple levels, institutions that cultivate ethics across the curriculum, or programs that promote group work, or do not grade. Successful proposals typically have a comparative dimension, either between or within institutional settings that differ along these or among other factors, and they specify plans for developing interventions that promote the effectiveness of identified factors. ER2 research projects will use basic research to produce knowledge about what constitutes or promotes responsible or irresponsible conduct of research, and how to best instill this knowledge into researchers and educators at all career stages. In some cases, projects will include the development of interventions to ensure ethical and responsible research conduct. Proposals for awards from minority-serving institutions (e.g., Tribal Colleges and Universities, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions), women's colleges, and organizations primarily serving persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged. Proposals including international collaborations are encouraged when those efforts enhance the merit of the proposed work by incorporating unique resources, expertise, facilities or sites of international partners. If possible, the U.S. team's international counterparts should obtain funding through other sources. More Information https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2019/nsf19609/nsf19609.htm Submission Limits Only one proposal may be submitted by an eligible organization, as defined above, in which a member of their organization serves as the PI.
