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 Jun 15, 2020 Notification of Internal Competition Jun 16, 2020 Internal Pre-proposal Jun 30, 2020 Results of Internal Competition Aug 17, 2020 Agency Notice of Intent/Pre-proposal N/A Agency Proposal Nov 1, 2020

	Notice of Intent Deadline of Jun 7, 2020 Has Passed — [All slots are filled]
Title Beckman Young Investigators Program Agencies Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation (Beckman) Description The Beckman Young Investigator (BYI) Program provides research support to the most promising young faculty members in the early stages of their academic careers in the chemical and life sciences, particularly to foster the invention of methods, instruments and materials that will open up new avenues of research in science. Projects proposed for the BYI program should be truly innovative, high-risk, and show promise for contributing to significant advances in chemistry and the life sciences. They should represent a departure from current research directions rather than an extension or expansion of existing programs. Proposed research that cuts across traditional boundaries of scientific disciplines is encouraged. Proposals that open new avenues of research in chemistry and life sciences by fostering the invention of methods, instruments and materials will be given additional consideration. The BYI program funds promising young scientists early in their careers who have not yet received a major award from another organization. Proposals that already have substantial funding will not be considered for the BYI award (see eligibility for more information). Projects are normally funded for a period of four years. Grants are in the range of $600,000 over the term of the project, contingent upon demonstrated progress after the second year of the award. The Foundation does not provide for overhead or for indirect costs. The BYI program is open to those within the first three years of a tenure-track position, or an equivalent independent research appointment, at a United States academic or non-profit institution that conducts research in chemical and life sciences. Tenure-Track dates for the 2021 program must start after 8/6/2017 AND before 8/6/2020. Candidates must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States at the time of application. Persons who have applied for permanent residency but have not received their government documentation by the time of application are not eligible. No individual may apply for a Beckman Young Investigator award more than two times. Investigators can have no more than $225,000 in direct, annualized external funding grants during any BYI Program Year (Aug-July) at time of application. Start-up funds, department-wide instrumentation grants, and "Transition" grants (such as NIH K99/R00) are not counted toward this total. Institutions are not limited in the number of applicants who apply at the Letter of Intent stage. Institutions with a currently funded BYI are eligible for award consideration. More Information http://www.beckman-foundation.org/programs/beckman-young-investigators-program-information Submission Limits Submissions to this program are not limited by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation, however, institutional endorsements are required. The limited submissions system is therefore being used in order to coordinate this process.

Title Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA): Future Research Directions for the Engineering Research Community Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description The National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering (NSF/ENG) invites the engineering research community to establish an organization that will serve to identify and develop bold and societally impactful new engineering research directions and thereby catalyze the engineering research community's pursuit of innovative, high-impact research. Specifically, NSF/ENG calls on the engineering research community to establish an Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA) that ENG will support to facilitate the articulation of compelling research visions that align with national and global challenges. This organization will be charged with obtaining and integrating input from all stakeholders with interest in engineering research, including academia, industry, societies, government agencies and the public. A reciprocal goal of the organization will be to communicate coordinated information on nascent opportunities and priorities in engineering research to these stakeholders. It is anticipated that through its activities the ERVA will strengthen connectivity across these diverse stakeholders, and increase coordination among engineering disciplinary communities. The ERVA should have membership/representation of academic, industrial and other stakeholders, and should be inclusive of all engineering disciplines. Through its proposed activities, the ERVA should provide the engineering community with a process for identifying future research challenges and enable the engineering research community to speak with a unified voice. More Information https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf20551 Submission Limits An organization may submit only one ERVA proposal on which it is the lead institution.

Title Instrument Development for Biological Research (IDBR) Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description The program will accept two types of proposals: Type A - Innovation: For the development of novel instrumentation that provides new research capabilities or, where appropriate, that significantly improves current technologies by at least an order of magnitude in fundamental aspects such as accuracy, precision, resolution, throughput, flexibility, breadth of application, costs of construction or operation, or user-friendliness. These proposals should have the capacity to transform or enhance biological studies. Type B - Bridging: For transforming ‘one of a kind' prototypes or high-end instruments into devices that are broadly available and utilizable without loss of capacity. These proposals should significantly broaden access to complex and/or expensive ‘one of a kind' research tools. This program does not support access to an individual instrument in a user facility, or to data collected thereby; such proposals should be submitted to other relevant programs or agencies. Projects focused on enhancing research capabilities in a specific research lab, institution, center or consortium are not eligible for IDBR support. Similarly not eligible are projects for the development of methods, assays, or software for instrument operation, data acquisition or analysis, except as a component of the instrument development and testing. More Information https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13561/nsf13561.htm Submission Limits There is no limit on the number of proposals that may be submitted by an investigator or institution. However, in the interest of diversifying the number of PIs, gender, geography, etc., in each competition it is unlikely that multiple awards to a single PI or institution will be made. Also note per GPG Chapter I.G.2. Submission Instructions: The same work/proposal cannot be funded twice. If the proposer envisions review by multiple programs, more than one program may be designated on the Cover Sheet. The submission of duplicate or substantially similar proposals concurrently for review by more than one program without prior NSF approval may result in the return of the redundant proposals. (See GPG Chapter IV.B for further information.) Research proposals to the Biological Sciences Directorate ONLY (not proposals for conferences or workshops) cannot be duplicates of proposals to any other Federal agency for simultaneous consideration.

	Notice of Intent Deadline of May 1, 2020 Has Passed
Title General Social Survey (GSS) 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 crossnational 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. The Sociology Program in the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences expects to make one award for the next four year funding cycle, fiscal years 2021-2024, to support the 2022 and 2024 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 2021.
