Grants for Nonprofits - Science and Technology

In FY23, the OCRP established a new academy, the Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial Academy (OCCTA), which will focus on clinical trial research in ovarian cancer. The intent of the OCCTA is to enhance knowledge within next generation of Early-Career Investigators (ECIs) in clinical trial research and to produce effective treatments and cures for ovarian cancer. The OCCTA will bring together established investigators (the Academy Dean and Assistant Dean), established Career Guides (mentors), and a group of ECIs/Scholars to conduct successful, highly productive clinical trials in ovarian cancer. The OCCTA strives to develop successful, highly productive ovarian cancer clinical trialists in a collaborative research and career development environment, providing intensive mentoring, national networking, collaborations, and a peer group for junior clinical trialists. The OCCTA, through its Leadership, provides for professional and leadership development of the ECIs to include skills and competencies needed to execute clinical trials.

The intent of this solicitation is to request 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 computational- and data-intensive research across all of science and engineering (S), and (2) ensure 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/or services, in two categories: Category I, Capacity Resources: production computational resources maximizing the capacity provided to support the broad range of computation and data analytics needs in S 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 for S discoveries. Resource Providers supported via this solicitation will be incorporated into NSFs ACSS program portfolio. This program complements investments in leadership-class computing and funds a federation of nationally available HPC resources that are technically diverse and intended to enable discoveries at a computational scale beyond the research of individual or regional academic institutions. NSF anticipates that at least 90% of the provisioned resource will be available to the S community through an open peer-reviewed national allocation process and have resource users be supported by community and other support services. Such allocation and support services are expected to be coordinated through the NSF-funded Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services Support (ACCESS) suite of services, or an NSF-approved alternative as may emerge. If this is not feasible for the proposed resource, proposers must clearly explain in detail why this is the case and how they intend to make the proposed resource available to the national S community. The ACSS Program especially seeks broad representation of PIs (including women, underrepresented minorities, and individuals with disabilities)and institutions (including those that have not historically provided nationally allocatable cyberinfrastructure)in both the community of resource awardees and resources users to continue growing the scale and diversity of the S community.

Grant Opportunity: Grand Strategy Research Grants Funder: Charles Koch Foundation The Grand Strategy Research Grants program, funded by the Charles Koch Foundation, aims to support scholars and research institutions interested in challenging the current approach to U.S. foreign policy and providing alternative visions. The program is open to proposals from various fields, with a particular interest in political science, international relations, history, and economics. The grant opportunity seeks research projects that explore topics such as a grand strategy of restraint, the role of values and ethics in U.S. foreign policy formulation, unintended consequences of military actions abroad, impact on American society and civil liberties, executive-legislative relations in foreign policy, influence of interest groups on foreign policy decisions, growth of intelligence and national security establishments since 9/11, costs and impacts of foreign aid and alliance commitments, Pentagon spending and defense policy demands, consequences of a multipolar world, and leveraging technology for a sound approach to grand strategy. Applicants are required to submit a two-to-five page abstract of the project along with a CV or résumé and a brief itemized budget. Final projects should be original and meet high standards in their respective fields. Funding levels will depend on the research requirements and potential for advancing understanding of critical issues. Accepted proposals may also receive support for disseminating research findings. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis. Interested applicants can find more information about the grant opportunity and access the application form on the Charles Koch Foundation's website at https://charleskochfoundation.tfaforms.net/344037?tfa_13=tfa_22
