Paul Teschan Research Fund (PTRF)

Limit: 3 // Tickets Available: 0

G. Martin-Alemañy (Nutritional Sciences and Wellness)
B. Tanriover (COM-T)
S. Kharait (COM-T)

Limiting Language
A limit of three proposals from each sponsoring academic institution is imposed to enable fair and broad support for DCI-affiliated investigators.

Overview 
The Paul Teschan Research Fund (PTRF) of Dialysis Clinic, Inc. (DCI) offers grant support for research
related to human kidney disease. Research methods may range from basic science to clinical and
epidemiologic research. Support from this fund, named to honor Paul Teschan, MD, a distinguished
investigator, clinician and advisor to DCI, is intended to promote investigations of current or eventual clinical
significance that might not be able to achieve funding from NIH or other national sources because of their
clinical nature, their early stage of work, or other reasons. The PTRF is a source of funding for worthy
projects where other sources are unavailable.

A limit of three proposals from each sponsoring academic institution is imposed to enable fair and broad
support for DCI-affiliated investigators. Each individual grants are limited to $60,000 per year, including
institutional overhead. The funding period for PTRF research grants is Jan 1 – Dec 31. The initial award
installment is contingent on the project passing DCI’s legal, compliance and regulatory review. This includes
obtaining IRB or IACUC approvals. Subsequent installments are contingent upon adherence to the award
letter.

Preference will be given to earlier research career investigators and to projects considered most relevant
to understanding and treatment of clinical kidney conditions and their complications. All proposals will be
reviewed for scientific merit and significance by external reviewers and also by a panel of DCI-affiliated
nephrologists (Application Review Committee) as part of the competitive application process. Renewal of
ongoing PTRF funding projects is given preference, but is not automatic. Grant awards are merit based.
PTRF grants may not be used to fund salaries of investigators, but may support other personnel active in
the project as approved by DCI. Capital equipment costing $1500 or more may not be included in PTRF
budgets. Overhead is limited to 20% ($10,000). Travel may be requested in the budget during Year 2 and
Year 3 if work from the PTRF project is being presented at a conference, but this may not exceed $1500
per year. No travel will be supported by Year 1 funds. Projects will only be funded for one year at a time
and may be funded for a total of three (3) consecutive years. Year 2 and Year 3 applications will undergo
competitive review by the Application Review Committee for continued funding based on progress
described in a DCI PTRF Study Progress Report. Applications for Year 2 and Year 3 funding will be
reviewed in the same way as an initial application, including reassessment of the scientific merit of the work
proposed as well as the addition of a detailed review of the work accomplished. Grants may not be renewed
in the absence of progress satisfactory reports.

FY26 - FY28 Space Grant Augmentation for AI Workforce Development

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0 

T. Swindle (Lunar and Planetary Laboratory) 

Limiting Language 
Proposals will only be accepted from the lead institution of Space Grant consortia in each state along with the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. NASA will only accept one proposal per consortium. 

Executive Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) is accepting augmentation funding proposals for the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (Space Grant). Space Grant is dedicated to building, sustaining, and deploying a skilled, and high-performing aerospace workforce that meets the current and emerging needs of NASA and the nation. 

The rapid expansion of the space economy combined with renewed national priorities in human space exploration, has created an urgent demand for a robust, skilled technical workforce. However, the aerospace and defense sectors are facing critical labor shortages, particularly in technical roles such as machinists, electronics technicians, and systems integrators. These shortages are driven by an aging workforce, rising educational costs, limited awareness of career pathways, and fragmented coordination among education, industry, and workforce systems. 

This announcement is an augmentation to years two through four (2-4) of the FY2025-2028 base award (Announcement Number: NNH24ZHA003C-SG25). The overarching goal of this augmentation is to provide additional funding to increase artificial intelligence workforce development projects and student opportunities. 

For this augmentation, each recipient/proposer shall submit a Statement of Work and budget, not to exceed $200,000 per year, for years two through four (2-4) as well as a budget narrative and justification explaining how the funds will be expended and how the work scope for the existing award will be adjusted. The period of performance will not change.

FY 2026 U.S. Leadership in Education, Advanced Manufacturing, and Digital Skills (U.S. LEADS) Program

No Applicants // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

Limiting Language
Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization. In cases where more than one submission from an applicant appears in grants.gov, ECA will only consider the submission made closest in time to the NOFO deadline; that submission would constitute the one and only proposal ECA would review from that applicant.

Executive Summary
The United States Leadership in Education, Advanced Manufacturing, and Digital Skills (U.S. LEADS) Program celebrates America's 250th anniversary by showcasing U.S. leadership from the Industrial Revolution to the Digital Revolution, focusing on revitalizing manufacturing, advancing AI, and strengthening supply chains. This Freedom 250 initiative will spark collaboration between U.S. community colleges, international vocational leaders, and U.S. industry partners to address emerging labor market demands that advance U.S. interests and drive economic development. The program will launch with a summit in Washington, D.C. to highlight America’s industrial heritage, current leadership in manufacturing and AI, and the role of U.S. community colleges in preparing the workforce of tomorrow.

The program will also include a U.S. exchange for approximately 100 higher education officials, commerce leaders, and policymakers from countries strategically important to U.S. industry. The group should be divided into four cohorts comprised of approximately 25 representatives from approximately 3-4 countries, determined based on U.S. foreign policy priorities in consultation with ECA, U.S. embassies, and regional bureau input. These two-week regional programs will take place in approximately four U.S. cities with strong higher education-industry partnerships. Through site visits, hands-on learning, and industry engagement, international participants will gain knowledge of U.S. best practices in manufacturing and technology training, enabling them to adopt similar approaches and establish partnerships that advantage U.S. companies. The summit should occur between December 2026 and March 2027 and be followed immediately by the in-person regional exchanges. The successful applicant will provide responsive and flexible programming with activities tailored to U.S. priorities for vocational-technical education and commercial diplomacy that will lead to measurable positive policy change.
