TheMacrosystems Biology and NEON-Enabled Science (MSB-NES): Research on Biological Systems at Regional to Continental Scalesprogram will support quantitative, interdisciplinary, systems-oriented research on biosphere processes and their complex interactions with climate, land use, and changes in species distributionatregional to continental scales as well as training activities to broaden participation of researchers in Macrosystems Biology and NEON-EnabledScience. MSB-NES projects that use data and/or resources fromthe National Ecological Observatory Network(NEON) are encouraged. Substantive NEON-enabled projects rely on data and/or samples collected by NEON and/or co-locate research activities at NEON sites. Projects may develop tools that will explicitly enhance the processing, use, and/or analysis of NEON data or collections, in the context of addressing a specific research question or hypothesis. However, proposals primarily focused on tool development that can be used for a broad class of research questions or for topics that meet the needs of a community of researchers should be directed toward the Infrastructure Innovation for Biological Research (Innovation) or Infrastructure Capacity for Biological Research (Capacity) programs in the Division of Biological Infrastructure.

The National Academy of Sciences Gulf Research Program is investing $50 million in the Gulf Futures Challenge to fund projects addressing critical challenges in the Gulf region. The Challenge aims to discover and promote innovative and transformative solutions by leveraging the talent and knowledge of the Gulf's people. The competition focuses on three main areas: energy transition, environmental change along the coast, and healthy and resilient communities. Up to ten finalists will receive up to $1 million in project development support, with two finalists awarded $20 million each to implement their solutions. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, state, local, and tribal governments, and academic institutions from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas, with projects located within 100 miles of the Gulf coastline. The registration deadline is August 20, 2024, and the application deadline is September 20, 2024.

This grant invites academic institutions, private companies, and nonprofit organizations to propose innovative research projects that advance national security and defense technologies, with a focus on disruptive solutions across various domains.

This grant provides funding to various organizations for projects that restore and protect aquatic ecosystems in South Florida, focusing on improving water quality and habitats in sensitive environments like the Everglades and coral reefs.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research on coastal wetland and seagrass ecology, specifically targeting member universities in California to enhance natural resource management and national security in Pacific Coast ecosystems, particularly in the Mariana Archipelago.

This initiative seeks input from energy stakeholders to identify and develop large-scale electric grid projects that can meet the increasing energy demands of industries like data centers and advanced manufacturing.

This initiative provides up to $100,000 in technical assistance vouchers to businesses and organizations seeking to commercialize scientific innovations through collaboration with experts at U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratories.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to Massachusetts state agencies focused on law enforcement to address critical public safety issues through evidence-based projects and initiatives.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals to develop systemic drug delivery platforms for medical countermeasures (MCMs). The Hermes program is explicitly seeking transformative approaches enabling the development of delivery platforms with systemic biodistribution, exceptional endosomal escape efficiency, and minimal toxicity. Successful proposals will include a detailed description of the proposed delivery platform including 1) screening pipeline, 2) reporter systems for monitoring biodistribution and expression in animal models, 3) methods to monitor immunogenicity/toxicity, and 4) chosen therapeutic cargo and justification. Systemic delivery platforms developed under the Hermes effort will be transferred to U.S. Government stakeholders for further development.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to nonprofit universities, colleges, and research institutions in the U.S. to advance aquaculture research and technology, aiming to improve seafood production and sustainability.

This grant provides funding to organizations that will deploy Starlink satellite internet units to improve connectivity for rural tribal nations in Arizona, enhancing access to essential services and benefits for veterans.

This grant provides funding for collaborative biomedical and behavioral research projects between U.S. institutions and Finnish researchers, focusing on areas like population health and disease prevention.
