Funding Opportunities
Sign In/Sign UpThe COBRE in Cardiovascular Health is pleased to announce a call for pilot research proposals to expand and enhance the scientific goals of the center. Pilot projects will be awarded for 1 year, have a budget of up to $50,000 in direct costs and have an estimated start date of February 1, 2025 (pending NIH approval). Pilot Project Goals: We are seeking proposals that have applications to cardiovascular health in the broadest sense. Investigators have the opportunity to study a wide range of cardiovascular related topics that may be in the form of technology development, basic, translational, clinical or community-engaged research and could occur at the level of the cell or at higher levels up to and including the community. Eligibility: NIH defined Early Stage and New Investigators are eligible to apply and are required to have a mentor. Faculty who have previously been awarded NIH funding may also apply.
The Delaware Center for Musculoskeletal Research (DCMR) is an NIH Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) and is preparing submission for the Phase II COBRE proposal in May 2025. We are requesting Research Project Proposals for new Research Project Leads (RPL). RPLs will be funded for $125,000 direct/year for up to 3 years or until NIH R01-equivalent funding is obtained. Proposal are due September 15, 2024. We will select up to 4 new Research Project Leads for inclusion in the Phase II COBRE proposal (expected start 2/1/2026). From the four selected RPLs, two will be funded starting 2/1/2025 as part of the ongoing Phase I COBRE and two will be selected as Pilot Projects ($50K). All selected Project Leads will work with the DCMR team to edit their proposal for inclusion in the Phase II proposal due May 2025. Faculty are strongly encouraged to contact Dawn Elliott for guidance about alignment of research with DCMR, mentor selection, and Research Core use
The NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellowship Program (EGFP) provides an opportunity for applicants who received the distinction of GRFP Honorable Mention no more than three years before the proposal due date to be named NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellows and obtain financial support for their graduate education at an institution in an EPSCoR jurisdiction.
The purpose of the NEH Summer Stipends program is to stimulate new research and publication in the humanities. Summer Stipends support continuous, full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research.
This solicitation is requesting proposals from organizations who are willing to serve as resource providers within the NSF Advanced Computing Systems and Services (ACSS) program. Resource providers would (1) provide advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) resources in production operations to support the full range of computation, data-analysis, and AI research across all of science and engineering (S&E), and (2) enable democratized and equitable access to the proposed resources. The current solicitation is intended to complement previous NSF investments in advanced computational infrastructure by provisioning resources, broadly defined in this solicitation to include systems and services, in two categories: Category I, Capacity Resources: production computational resources maximizing the capacity provided to support the broad range of computation, data analytics and AI needs in S&E research; and Category II, Innovative Prototypes/Testbeds: innovative forward-looking capabilities deploying novel technologies, architectures, usage modes, etc., and exploring new target applications, methods, and paradigms. Resource Providers supported via this solicitation will be incorporated into NSF’s ACSS 2.0 program portfolio. This program complements investments in leadership-class computing and funds a federation of nationally available advanced computing resources that are technically diverse and intended to enable discoveries at a computational scale beyond the research of individual or regional academic institutions.
The Searle Scholars Program makes grants to selected universities and research centers to support the independent research of exceptional young faculty in the biomedical sciences and chemistry who have recently been appointed as assistant professors on a tenure-track appointment. The Searle Scholars Program supports high risk, high reward research across a broad range of scientific disciplines.
