UArizona is invited to submit one proposal.

1/10/22 UPDATE: The internal deadline has been extended to February 2, 2022, at 5p AZ.

The Mellon Foundation's Sawyer Seminars were established in 1994 to provide support for comparative research on the historical and cultural sources of contemporary developments. The seminars, named in honor of the Foundation's long-serving third president, John E. Sawyer, have brought together faculty, foreign visitors, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from a variety of fields mainly, but not exclusively, in the arts, humanities, and interpretive social sciences, for intensive study of subjects chosen by the participants. Foundation support aims to engage productive scholars in comparative inquiry that would (in ordinary university circumstances) be difficult to pursue, while at the same time avoiding the institutionalization of such work in new centers, departments, or programs. Sawyer Seminars are, in effect, temporary research centers.

UArizona is invited to nominate two candidates.

The Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering program invests in future leaders who have the freedom to take risks, explore new frontiers in their fields of study, and follow uncharted paths that may lead to groundbreaking discoveries. 

Candidates must be faculty members who are eligible to serve as principal investigators engaged in research in the natural and physical sciences or engineering and must be within the first three years of their faculty careers. Disciplines that will be considered include physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, astronomy, computer science, earth science, ocean science, and all branches of engineering. Candidates engaged in research in the social sciences will not be considered. 

Candidates must be faculty members in the first three years of their faculty careers, that is, whose initial faculty appointments began no earlier than May 31, 2019, and no later than May 31, 2022.

UArizona may submit one application.

This opportunity is Institutionally Coordinated.

Institutional Ticket: J. Sweasy

Ticket #1: E. Ratcliff 

Ticket #2: O. Monti 

Ticket #3: V. Coropceanu

UArizona may submit three pre-applications. The pre-application institutional selections are also the selections for the application step should DOE approve a full application.

The DOE SC program in Basic Energy Sciences (BES) announces a re-competition of the Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) program and encourages both new and renewal applications. Applications from multi-disciplinary teams will be required to propose both discovery science and use-inspired basic research that addresses priority research directions and opportunities identified by a series of BES workshop and roundtable reports. DOE encourages applications that propose fundamental chemical sciences, materials sciences, geosciences, and biosciences research that will enable future clean energy technologies and advanced manufacturing. Coordination across programs is a high priority for DOE. EFRCs under this FOA will include awards for fundamental science that underpins the Energy Earthshots Initiative.

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to conduct high quality clinical and applied fungal public health research activities to improve fungal public health outcomes in the United States and territories. Projects may be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods epidemiological studies, laboratory-based studies, or other types of research projects focusing on:
a) Improving the understanding of fungal disease epidemiology;
b) Optimizing the diagnosis and treatment of patients with fungal diseases;
c) Understanding the impact of public health interventions to mitigate the impact of fungal diseases.

UArizona may submit two Letters of Intent

DOE SC Program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR), in collaboration with the Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program, hereby announces its interest in receiving five-year, multi-institutional applications for the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) Partnerships program https://www.scidac.gov/.

This FOA invites new research applications for the SciDAC-5 Partnerships that enable or accelerate scientific discovery employing deep, necessary, and productive collaborations between nuclear scientists/engineers and applied mathematicians and computer scientists, that fully exploit the capabilities of DOE High-Performance Computing (HPC) in order to accelerate and enhance NE objectives.

This NOFO intends to support research to: 1) optimize and standardize implementation of existing strategies to reduce the abundance of host-seeking Ixodes scapularis nymphs infected with human pathogens, especially Lyme disease spirochetes (DIN); 2) evaluate efficacy and reproducibility of operational use (e.g., in the hands of pest control professionals or the public, as appropriate) of these protocols in high-risk settings (e.g., wooded residential properties, high-use wooded recreational areas) across the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States where baseline DIN is elevated; and 3) develop standard operating procedures that may be used by homeowners or vector control professionals to implement these interventions within communities at risk for exposure to Lyme disease spirochetes and other I. scapularis-borne pathogens.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2022 Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention-Mobile Health Training Program (NEPQR-MHTP). The purpose of this program is to strengthen the nursing workforce through education and training to provide culturally aligned quality care in rural and underserved areas and training of diverse nursing students to address and manage Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) factors and improve health equity and health literacy of vulnerable populations in rural and underserved communities through nurse-led mobile health training sites. The NEPQR-MHTP will create and expand experiential learning opportunities for nursing students, including: the provision of high-quality culturally sensitive care, identify and understand SDOH in local communities, engagement in critical thinking, and clinical practice highlighting a collaborative team approach to care.

Only one application per school or college within a university will be accepted. For example, within a university, one application can be submitted from each of the schools of medicine, public health, arts and sciences, etc. 

The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) Award is intended to identify the most talented Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) who intend to make a long-term commitment to research in the Environmental Health Sciences and assist them in launching an innovative research program focused on understanding the effects of environmental exposure on people’s health.

UArizona may participate in two Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) proposals per competition. Participation includes serving as a lead organization on a non-collaborative proposal or as a lead organization, non-lead organization, or subawardee on a collaborative proposal.

The Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative approaches to STEM graduate education training. The 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.
