2025 Burroughs Wellcome Fund's Climate + Health Excellence Centers (CHEX)

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0

K. Ernst (Public Health)

Program Overview
New institutional awards of up to $10,000,000 to stimulate development of strong research, education, and public communications connections between fields that aim to understand and mitigate the impact of climate change on human health. In general, this award will support institutions or consortia that are already moving toward establishing themselves as centers of excellence for understanding climate change’s impact on human health and for leadership in climate education OR public communication around climate and health. Applications from institutions just starting to integrate Climate + Health into their planning are expected to be uncompetitive. Up to three awards will be made over two rounds of competition. Providing support for U.S. and Canadian research and educational Institutions or consortia of research and educational institutions


Eligibility
Institutions should only submit one proposal that reflects the institution’s strategic goals in basic, applied, and implementation research in the area of Climate + Health. Individual departments, centers, etc. within an institution may be part of separate consortium applications—for example, a consortium focusing on shared interests around a region might include participation by several institutions around the region and would not disrupt those institutions own applications as long as there is not significant overlap between the proposals.

Fiscal Year 2024 Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) Grant Program

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0

J. Burgess (Public Health)

Executive Summary
The focus of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) Grant Program (hereafter referred to as the FP&S Program) is to enhance the safety of the public and firefighters with respect to fire and fire-related hazards. The FP&S Program provides grants directly to eligible entities for fire prevention programs and firefighter health and safety research and development.


Eligibility
The maximum number of applications that can be submitted is: 1. One application per eligible entity, per activity (up to one application under the FP&S Activity (not eligible) and up to one application under the R&D Activity)

Each application may include up to three projects. Each project withinan application must be presented separately as a free-standingproposal. Each project requires its own separate supporting budget and narrative statement.

If an applicant submits two or more applications for the same activity, both applications may be disqualified. 

  • This is different from when an entity is applying on behalf of other organizations that are agencies or instrumentalities of the applicant (e.g., multiple fire departments under the same county, city, borough, parish, or other municipality)
  • In that situation, the applicant may request similar or the same costs as long as the application clearly states which costs (including quantities) are for which agency/instrumentality
  • This is permissible even if that entity submits multipleapplications across regional versus direct applications

G. Chism (College of Information Science)
T. Robinson (Lunar and Planetary Lab) 

Eligibility
An eligible IHE may participate in only two (2) proposals per NRT competition as lead or collaborative nonlead. All Track 1 and/or Track 2 NRT proposals will be counted toward this total limit of two proposals per institution. 

Participation includes serving as a lead institution or a non-lead institution (i.e., as part of a separately submitted collaborative proposal or as a sub-recipient) on any proposal. Organizations participating only as evaluators on projects are excluded from this limitation. Planning proposals, described in Section II, Program Description, are also excluded from this limitation. Proposals that exceed the organizational eligibility limit will be returned without review regardless of whether the institution on such a proposal serves as lead or non-lead collaborative institution. Potential PIs are advised to contact their institutional office of research regarding processes used to select proposals for submission.

Proposals may only be submitted by the following: 
Track 1: All Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members and that award a research-based master's degree and/or a doctoral degree in STEM disciplines supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation. Track 2 and 

Track 2 Planning Grants: Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members that award a research-based master's degree and/or a doctoral degree in STEM disciplines supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation including: Master's Colleges and Universities and D/PU Doctoral/Professional Universities that award fewer than 20 research/scholarship doctoral degrees and Doctoral Universities: High Research Activity (R2, as defined in the Carnegie classification of higher education institutions). Doctoral Universities: Very High Research Activity (R1) are not eligible for Track 2 consideration. The University of Arizona is not eligible for Track 2. 

Program Synopsis

The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program seeks proposals that explore ways for graduate students in research-based master's and doctoral degree programs to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers. The program is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas, through a comprehensive traineeship model that is innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs. Proposals are requested that address any interdisciplinary or convergent research theme of national priority, as described in section II.D below. The NRT program addresses workforce development, emphasizing broad participation, and institutional capacity building needs in graduate education. The program encourages proposals that involve strategic collaborations with the private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, national laboratories, field stations, teaching and learning centers, informal science centers, and academic partners. NRT especially welcomes proposals that reflect collaborations between NRT proposals and existing NSF Eddie Bernice Johnson Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (INCLUDES) Initiative, Undergraduates (REU), Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP), Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM), and Research Experiences for NSF Scholarships in NSF STEM Ed Organizational Postdoctoral Fellowship program (STEM Ed OPRF) projects, provided the collaboration will strengthen both projects. Researchers at minority serving institutions and emerging research institutions are strongly encouraged to submit proposals. Collaborations between NRT proposals and existing NSF INCLUDES projects should strengthen both NRT and INCLUDES projects.
