Proposal due 1/17:
Dana Foundation David Mahoney Neuroimaging Program

The Research & Innovation Office (RIO) announces a limited submission internal competition for the Dana Foundation's David Mahoney Neuroimaging Program. The program focuses on improving human brain and brain-immune functioning to promote health, and prevent and treat disease. Funds support pilot-testing by investigators, who are early in their research careers, to enable them to pursue promising, high-risk, and innovative ideas that have a direct clinical application. The pilot data are anticipated to help increase competitiveness for seeking larger-scale support from other funders.

The internal application requirements and link are below. Questions should be sent to ltdsubs@colorado.edu.

All interested applicants should review the Procedures for Limited Campus Competitions.

Program Summary

The Dana Foundation's David Mahoney Neuroimaging Program, like all other Dana-supported research, is designed to improve human health. Investigations need to be applicable to human brain or brain-immune functioning or malfunctioning. To be considered for funding, submitted proposals should focus on imaging in patients or patient tissues, and healthy volunteers.

Previously funded studies under this Program have focused primarily on:

Understanding normal brain functioning, how it is altered by disease or injury, and how it recovers or repairs;
Assessing and improving diagnostic and therapeutic approaches; and
Refining and advancing imaging technologies to address specific clinical questions.

In addition to these three general areas of continued interest, it is becoming increasingly apparent that neurodegenerative diesases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and depression, start long before they are clinically evident. The Foundation, therefore, encourages studies that seek to understand developmental processes of disease, surrogate measures of early disease existence, and measures of disease progression.

NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Pathways into Geoscience (IUSE: GEOPATHS)

The Research & Innovation Office announces a limited submission internal competition for NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Pathways into Geoscience (IUSE: GEOPATHS). Please share with faculty within your department or unit.

The internal application requirements and link are below. Questions should be sent to Ryan Reeves at ltdsubs@colorado.edu.

Program Summary

A well-prepared, innovative science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce is crucial to the Nation's health and economy. Indeed, recent policy actions and reports have drawn attention to the opportunities and challenges inherent in increasing the number of highly qualified STEM graduates, including STEM teachers. Priorities include educating students to be leaders and innovators in emerging and rapidly changing STEM fields as well as educating a scientifically literate populace. Both of these priorities depend on the nature and quality of the undergraduate education experience. In addressing these STEM challenges and priorities, the National Science Foundation invests in evidence-based and evidence-generating approaches to understanding STEM learning; to designing, testing, and studying instruction and curricular change; to wide dissemination and implementation of best practices; and to broadening participation of individuals and institutions in STEM fields. The goals of these investments include: increasing the number and diversity of STEM students; preparing students well to participate in science for tomorrow; and improving students' STEM learning outcomes.

NSF's Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) initiative, launched in Fiscal Year 2014, supports a coherent set of investments to address immediate challenges and opportunities that are facing undergraduate STEM education, as well as those that anticipate new structures (e.g. organizational changes, new methods for certification or credentialing, course re-conception, cyberlearning, etc.) and new functions of the undergraduate learning and teaching enterprise. The NSF-wide IUSE initiative acknowledges the variety of discipline-specific challenges and opportunities facing STEM faculty as they strive to incorporate results from educational research into classroom practice and work with education research colleagues and social science learning scholars to advance our understanding of effective teaching and learning.

The Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) contributes to the IUSE initiative through the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Pathways into Geoscience (IUSE: GEOPATHS) funding opportunity. IUSE: GEOPATHS invites proposals that specifically address the current needs and opportunities related to undergraduate education within the geosciences community. The primary goal of the IUSE: GEOPATHS funding opportunity is to increase the number of undergraduate students interested in pursuing undergraduate degrees and/or post-graduate degrees in geoscience through the design and testing of novel approaches for engaging students in authentic, career-relevant experiences in geoscience. In order to broaden participation in the geosciences, engaging undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented groups or from non-geoscience degree programs is a priority. The IUSE: GEOPATHS solicitation features two funding tracks: (1) Engaging students in the geosciences through extra-curricular experiences and training activities (GEOPATHS-EXTRA), and (2) Improving pathways into the geosciences through institutional collaborations and transfer (GEOPATHS-IMPACT).

Any such future Cooperative Agreements, however, would be subject to agency priorities, the availability of funds, Cooperator performance, and the agency’s regular review process.

Contingent upon the agency’s Fiscal Year 2018 budget, the National Endowment for the Arts expects to award Cooperative Agreements of up to $150,000 to each NEA Research Lab. This Cooperative Agreement requires a nonfederal cost share/match of at least 1 to 1. Matching funds cannot include funds from any National Endowment for the Arts or other federal sources.

Internal Expression of Interest due 4/12:
NASA Stem Education and Accountability Projects (SEAP)

The Research & Innovation Office announces a limited submission call for interest for the National Aeronautics & Space Administration's (NASA) STEM Education and Accountability Projects (SEAP). An expression of interest, which is a simple statement via email indicating your interest in applying to a specific program, should be sent to Ryan Reeves at ltdsubs@colorado.edu by the posted deadline.

Program Summary

NASA's Office of Education, in cooperation with NASA Headquarters’ Offices of Communications, Chief Scientist, and Chief Technologist, the Mission Directorates, and Mission Support Directorate, solicits proposals led by Informal Education Institutions (IEIs) to uniquely perform NASA education or research engagement and/or exhibits through partnerships with K-e12 schools, youth-serving organizations, libraries, higher education institutions, and/or other agencies that support Federal STEM education goals through inquiry- or experiential-based activities that feature NASA’s missions, science, engineering, exploration, or technologies. This solicitation further seeks projects that feature NASA-themed content in space exploration, aeronautics, space science, Earth science, or microgravity, or a combination of these topics to support federal and NASA education outcomes.

Please review the full notice for more detailed program information.

Deadlines

Internal Expression of Interest Deadline: 3:00pm MST April 12, 2017
NASA Notice of Intent Deadline: April 19, 2017
NASA Proposal Deadline: June 14, 2017

Eligibility

Organizations submitting a proposal under this NRA (other than those applying to Appendix R), are certifying that they meet the following criteria to propose as the lead or managing organization:

legally recognized by a federal, state or local authority as a non-profit;
located in the United States or its Territories; and
provide STEM education programming, (such as but not limited to exhibits) through partnerships with K-12 schools or districts, youth-serving organizations, higher education, and/or other federal, state, or local agencies.

An eligible institution is not required to have the words museum, visitor center, science, planetarium, youth, or library in its legal name. All types of NASA Visitor Centers (e.g., private, state or federal entities) are eligible to propose (see Appendix D, Identification of Entities as NASA Visitor Centers Special Guidance: STEM Education Activities and NASA Visitor Centers).

Eligible institutions are established or chartered in order to enhance learning and/or engagement, including but not limited to: the study and display of STEM, or established to honor NASA history, personnel, and missions.

Please review the full notice for more detailed eligibility information.

Limited Submission Guidelines

Organizations shall submit only one (1) proposal per Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number. If an organization submits more than one proposal using the same DUNS number, then none of its proposals will be evaluated. However, there is no limit on the number of times an entity may be proposed by another institution as an unfunded partner or as a sub-award. Eligible institutions may submit a proposal as a lead organization or be proposed for a sub-award as part of other organizations’ proposals, or both.

Award Information

Subject to Congressional appropriation of sufficient funds in Fiscal Years 2017-2018, and also pending NASA’s receipt of proposals of adequate merit, NASA expects to select between one (1) and twenty (20) proposals for award. NASA reserves the right to make a full or partial selection of any proposal. Individual total award values will not exceed a maximum of $1,000,000.

For proposals of Type (2) Pilot Projects, the lowest amount that may be proposed is $300,000, with a period of performance not to exceed two years. For projects classified as Type (1) Project Development and Implementation, or Type (3) Combination, the lowest amount that may be proposed is $500,000, with a period of performance not to exceed three years.

Note: The accountability, reporting, and evaluation requirements for CP4SMPVC make it unlikely that a viable project could be accomplished for less than $300,000 for Type (2) Pilot Projects, or $500,000 for Type (1) Project Development and Implementation or Type (3) Combination. Proposals budgeted for less than these amounts are unlikely to advance to external peer review.
