The STOP School Violence Program is designed to improve school safety by providing students, teachers, and staff with the tools they need to recognize, respond quickly to, and prevent acts of violence. It provides funding to states, units of local government, federally recognized Indian tribes, public agencies (e.g., school districts, towns, cities and municipalities, individual schools, police departments, sheriff’s departments, governmental mental health service providers, and health departments), and nonprofit entities (including private schools). The program implements training that will improve school climate using school-based behavioral threat assessments and/or intervention teams to identify school violence risks among students, technological solutions shown to increase school safety such as anonymous reporting technology, and other school safety strategies that assist in preventing violence.  

With this solicitation, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) seeks to increase school safety by implementing solutions that will improve school climate. Solutions include school-based behavioral threat assessments and/or intervention teams to identify school violence risks among students, technological innovations that are shown to increase school safety such as anonymous reporting technology, and other school safety strategies that assist in preventing violence.

This NOFO is the second in a series that NTIA will issue and administer under the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund (Innovation Fund). This NOFO is divided into two topic areas: open radio unit (RU) commercialization and open RU innovation. Throughout this document, open RU commercialization is referred to as “specific research focus area 1” (SRFA 1) and open RU innovation is referred to as “specific research focus area 2” (SRFA 2). A brief description of each SRFA is below:
 

• SRFA 1: Accelerating the development of open RU products to the point where they meet carrier needs and are ready for commercial trials; and
• SRFA 2: Improving the overall performance and capabilities of open RUs through targeted research and development.

Applications in response to this NOFO must address either SRFA 1 or SRFA 2. A single application cannot address both SRFAs. If an application is submitted addressing both SRFAs, it will be rejected. Applicants interested in applying for both SRFAs must submit a separate application for each SRFA. Applicants may only include one project per application, regardless of SRFA. Individual submissions containing multiple proposed projects will be rejected. Each applicant may submit a maximum of one SRFA 1 application and three SRFA 2 applications. Each SRFA 2 application must address at least one, and may address more than one, topic area listed in Section 3.3.1.

NTIA will award up to $420,000,000 under this NOFO. The amount of funding NTIA expects to award per project differs by SRFA, as follows:
• SRFA 1: NTIA expects to award $25,000,000-$45,000,000 per project.
• SRFA 2: NTIA expects to award $5,000,000-$10,000,000 per project.

In 2024, the Network Challenge focuses on two specific areas:

• Educational offerings that foster cross-disciplinary perspectives and credentialing.
• Career pipeline/placement efforts to develop a public interest technology workforce in government, industry, and social impact organizations.

Project themes may include:

• Environmental, climate, or sustainability projects that provide for opportunities for storytelling around the importance of PIT.
• Policy projects with state and local governmental partnership research or briefs that advance PIT in these key fields: data science, artificial intelligence (AI), or quantum computing.
• Technical projects where students and researchers explicitly engage in storytelling about PIT within the work (Quantum, AI, augmented analytics, machine learning, robotics).
• Democracy and voting projects that explore ways to strengthen public interest systems and broaden participation at the local, state, and federal government levels.
• The intersection of gender and technology in the pursuit of justice and equity.

Funding and Allowable Uses

PIT-UN is inviting proposals in two funding tranches. Budgets should be inclusive of an indirect rate, set at 20% of total direct costs.

Note: Tranche 2 funding has changed for 2024

1. Tranche 1: Up to $90,000 for direct and indirect costs (indirect costs are capped at 20%)
2. Tranche 2: From $90,001 to $145,000 for direct and indirect costs (indirect costs are capped at 20%)

Proposals requesting Tranche 2 funding must include at least 50% in-kind contribution funding from the primary institution.

Note: If the required institutional in-kind funding is less than 50%, the proposal will not be considered.

Eligibility

In this sixth year of the Network Challenge, PIT-UN will accept the following types of proposals in response to its RFP:

1. New Projects: Projects that have not received prior funding from the PIT-UN Challenge (“new projects”).
2. Expansion and Scale of Existing Projects: Projects that have received prior funding from the PIT-UN Challenge in 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2022, but have not received three years of Network Challenge funding can apply for additional funding to expand and/or scale their project (“previously funded projects”).

Projects ineligible to apply for funding are Network Challenge projects of any year that have not submitted their project's final reports (narrative and budget reconciliation) to New Venture Fund using the Submittable grant management system.

Limits

Limited Submissions

The PIT-UN Network Challenge is a limited submission funding opportunity and limits the number of applications from one institution. These “limited submission” funding opportunities must undergo an internal selection process (also known as an internal competition), which is coordinated by the institution. Please consult your institution before you develop any applications.

Additionally, there is a limit to the number of proposals a PIT-UN member university can submit:

• Proposals for up to a total of three new projects. Only one of these can fall within the funding Tranche 2 ($90,001–$145,000).
• Proposals to expand/scale previously awarded projects, outlined in Eligibility section ii, can fall into either funding Tranche 1 (up to $90,000) or Tranche 2* ($90,001–$145,000).

Proposals requesting Tranche 2 funding must include at least 50% in-kind contribution funding from the primary institution. Proposed budgets should be inclusive of an indirect rate, set at 20% of total direct costs.

Note: Proposals can only be funded with Network Challenge funding for three years.

A person may be listed as the principal investigator (PI) on only one Network Challenge application, but individuals may be listed as collaborators on multiple applications.

Projects that are a partnership between two or more universities should submit one single application from the lead institution. Projects should explain the nature of the partnership, including the division of labor and funds in the proposal.

Each PIT-UN member has identified one point of contact for submitting all grant applications for their institutions. Only that point of contact should be accessing the online grant platform. If you do not know who your PIT-UN member Network Challenge point of contact is, get in touch with your institution's PIT-UN designee.

One application per institution (normally identified by having a unique DUNS number or NIH IPF number) is allowed. This FOA seeks to support programs that include innovative approaches to enhance biomedical engineering (BME) designeducation to ensure a future workforce that can meet the nation’s needs in biomedical research and healthcare technologies.

Applications are encouraged from institutions that propose to establish new or to enhance existing team-based design courses orprograms in undergraduate biomedical engineering departments or other degree-granting programs with biomedical engineeringtracks/minors. This FOA targets the education of undergraduate biomedical engineering/bioengineering students in a team-basedenvironment. Health equity and universal design topics must be integrated throughout the educational activities. While current bestpractices such as multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary education, introduction to the regulatory pathway and other issues related tothe commercialization of medical devices, and clinical immersion remain encouraged components of a strong BME program, thisFOA also challenges institutions to propose other novel, innovative and/or ground-breaking activities that can form the basis of thenext generation of biomedical engineering design education.
