This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations that train and assist state agencies in delivering independent living services to older individuals who are blind, helping them achieve greater independence and self-sufficiency.

Through this funding opportunity announcement, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) solicits applications to Cancer Epidemiology Cohorts: Building the Next Generation of Research Cohorts PAR. This funding opportunity announcement seeks to support initiating and building the next generation of population-based cancer epidemiology cohorts to address specific knowledge gaps in cancer etiology and survivorship. Specifically, it will support methodological work necessary to initiate and build cancer epidemiology cohorts that can address critical scientific gaps concerning (i) new or unique exposures in relation to cancer risks and outcomes and (ii) achievement of diverse populations in cohorts with the inclusion of understudied populations (e.g., racial/ethnic groups, rural populations, and persistent poverty areas) with substantial community engagement.

This funding opportunity supports graduate students from diverse backgrounds in neuroscience to complete their Ph.D. and transition into postdoctoral research positions, promoting career development and research training.

This grant provides funding to support early-career researchers from diverse backgrounds in developing independent careers focused on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias through mentored training and research opportunities.

This funding opportunity supports higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations in developing educational programs that promote diversity and encourage individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue careers in biomedical and behavioral research.

This program provides funding to enhance research opportunities and collaborations at Minority-Serving Institutions, aiming to diversify the STEM workforce in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences.

This grant provides funding for research on the social and historical aspects of science and technology, aimed at scholars and institutions exploring how STEM fields impact society and address complex challenges.

The INQS program is a collaboration between AFOSR and LPS, and we seek revolutionary qubit approaches to quantum computation that have the potential to significantly advance scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) beyond current state-of-the-art methods. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites proposals for basic research into solid-state qubits for quantum computing at various stages of maturity. Qubits of interest may support one or more of the required functions in a FTQC system. These functions may include, but are not limited to, data processing, memory storage, communication, spectator roles, or measurement. Proposals should clearly address: (1) the function(s) the qubit is expected to serve, (2) how it can be integrated into a plausible FTQC system, and (3) its potential to advance toward qubits suitable for FTQC. Furthermore, proposals must align with one of the following themes: Theme 1: New Qubits This theme explores completely novel or underdeveloped qubits that have both a credible research path toward utility in an FTQC system and promising advantages over current state-of-the-art methods. Theme 2: Renew Qubits This theme focuses on applying unconventional approachessuch as novel qubit operation techniques, fabrication methods, or designsto significantly advance specific qubit functions in state-of-the-art quantum processors1 for utility in plausible FTQC systems. This opportunity seeks to fund proposals in two (2) specific theme areas. Please see the announcement for more information.
