Opportunities

From NSF ---

Outreach:

 The American Meteorological Society's Annual Meeting is just up the road from NSF HQ, and many NSF program directors will be in Baltimore next week.  NSF will have an exhibit hall booth and we will provide a schedule of times that program directors will be available at the booth.

 New and Updated Funding Opportunities:

•  NSF has released the Responsible Design, Development, and Deployment of Technologies (ReDDDoT) solicitation, which is a unique partnership between NSF and private foundations.  The intent of ReDDDoT is to facilitate the embedding of ethical, legal, and societal considerations and community values across the lifecycle of technology creation and use.  Proposals should focus on one of three priority areas:  artificial intelligence, biotechnology, or natural and anthropogenic disaster prevention or mitigation including, but not limited to, climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability.  Proposals are due in April.  Please register for the upcoming webinar on February 9^th and/or the office hour on February 16^th.
• An updated solicitation for EPSCoR Research Fellows has also been released.  EPSCoR Research Fellows provides awards to build research capacity in institutions and transform the career trajectories of investigators and further develop their individual research potential through collaborations with investigators from the nation's premier private, governmental, or academic research institutions and/or centers.  The solicitation has two tracks, one that is open to a broad community and second that is focused on collaboration with researchers at NASA research centers.  Proposals are due on April 22^nd, 2024.
• The Growing Convergence Research solicitation has been updated.  This program targets multidisciplinary teams who are embracing convergence research as a means of developing highly innovative solutions to complex research problems. GCR proposals are expected to be bold and address scientific or technical challenges and bottlenecks which if resolved have the potential to transform scientific understanding and solve vexing problems. Successful GCR projects are anticipated to lead to paradigm shifting approaches within disciplines, establishment of new scientific communities, or development of transformative technologies that have the potential for broad scientific or societal impact.
