Executive Summary 
The Public Diplomacy Section at the U.S. Mission to Germany invites proposals under its Partnership Program to strengthen the transatlantic relationship between the United States and Germany. As the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of its founding (Freedom 250), this program supports forward-looking initiatives that highlight the enduring strength of the bilateral partnership and advance shared democratic principles.

The Partnership Program seeks innovative projects that deepen mutual understanding, foster collaboration, and engage key German audiences in meaningful dialogue with the United States. In recognition of the breadth of the transatlantic relationship, proposals are encouraged in areas central to U.S.–German cooperation, including collaboration in sports, science, and space; efforts to counter anti-Semitism and support freedom of speech; and initiatives that measure and amplify the long-term impact of exchange programs.

Programs focused on science, technology, and space may highlight U.S.–German cooperation in innovation, research, and exploration as a shared frontier advancing knowledge and partnership. Sports diplomacy initiatives may leverage major global sporting events to promote leadership, collaboration, and teamwork while advancing common goals. Projects addressing anti-Semitism and freedom of expression should combat hate, protect constitutionally protected speech, promote open dialogue, and strengthen institutional resilience. Proposals that assess and highlight the long- term impact of exchange programs and sister city partnerships are encouraged to demonstrate the lasting value of transatlantic engagement.

All projects must feature substantial U.S. elements, clearly define and prioritize German audiences, and present a strategic implementation plan. Competitive proposals will demonstrate measurable objectives designed to increase awareness, shape attitudes, strengthen skills, or build sustainable networks that advance U.S.–German cooperation.

Each application must include a robust monitoring and evaluation plan outlining how outputs and outcomes will be tracked and assessed. Successful programs will contribute directly to strengthening the transatlantic partnership and reinforcing the United States as a forward-looking, reliable partner guided by strong institutional principles.

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.

The Macy Faculty Scholars Program, now in its second decade, aims to identify and nurture promising early-career educators in medicine and nursing. The program will help develop the next generation of national leaders in medical and nursing education by identifying outstanding educators, physicians, nurses, and role models—individuals who represent the breadth of diversity seen in learners, patient populations, and health care settings around the country. By providing the Scholars with resources—especially protected time, mentorship, and a professional network of colleagues—the program aims to accelerate Scholars’ careers, to turn their teaching practice into scholarship, and to help them become impactful leaders locally, nationally, and beyond.

This is a career development award. The Foundation is interested in candidates for whom the program will have the maximum impact at this point in their career and who also have the greatest possibility for future impact at their home institutions and beyond. Macy Faculty Scholars will participate in the Macy Faculty Scholars Annual Meeting and will be part of the family of Macy Faculty Scholars for the remainder of their careers.

In order to develop the careers of educators who are future leaders, the Macy Faculty Scholars Program will provide salary support for each Scholar up to $100,000 per year, which will protect 50% of the Scholar’s time over two years. The Scholar will devote this time to a mentored educational scholarly project and other appropriate career development activities.

The Mathers Foundation Grants Program is a limited competition, where eligible organizations may submit up to three (3) institute-nominated Letter of Inquiry (LOI) applications per grant cycle. 

Program Overview
Full sponsor guidelines are linked here.

The mission of The G. Harold and Leila Y. Mathers Foundation is to advance knowledge in the life sciences by sponsoring scientific research that will benefit mankind. The foundation’s grants program seeks to support basic science, ideally with potential translational applications. Immunology, microbiome, genomics, structural biology, cellular physiology, neuroscience, etc., are some noteworthy examples of current research support.

For many years the Foundation has enjoyed special recognition in the research community for supporting “basic” scientific research, realizing that true transformative breakthroughs usually occur after a thorough understanding of the fundamental mechanisms underlying natural phenomena. More recently, and with the advent of newer investigative methodologies, technology, and tools, the Foundation now embraces innovative translational research proposals.

The grant duration must be three years. The budget should be reasonable based on the aims of the project. Indirect costs may not exceed 10%. Preliminary Budgets are required during the LOI phase. A detailed budget justification is not required until the proposal phase. The Foundation’s grant award is not intended to be utilized for purchasing capital equipment (“bricks-and-mortar”) for the lab and is intended only to support the actual investigation. The Foundation assumes and expects that capital equipment must be provided by the research institution or university.

Application Guidance:

• Grant budgets cannot exceed $600-750K
• The Foundation primarily supports basic science, ideally with potential translational applications.
• Immunology, microbiome, genomics, structural biology, cellular physiology, neuroscience, etc., are some noteworthy examples of current research support.
• Covid-19-related research projects (aims or sub-aims) will not be considered for support.
• Medical imaging technology-related projects and/or electrical engineering technology development projects will not be considered for support.
• Plant Biology Research, Oceanography, Space Exploration. and Global warming-related research will not be considered for support.
• As technology continues to advance, it is apparent that investigations in the area of basic science and translational research may become more and more reliant on collaborative, interdisciplinary projects. It is important to note that any interdisciplinary project proposals may require additional information regarding the collaborator(s)’ achievements and relevant expertise.
• Feedback for declined LOI Requests will not be provided; LOIs or Formal Proposals that have been declined should not be resubmitted at a later date for consideration.
• Renewal applications for the same or related research will not be accorded priority consideration. It is strongly advised that any re-application for grant renewal consider a new direction based on prior research or emphasize some new potential translational aspects and not merely an extension of previously funded research.
• Requests for funding previously federally supported research and/or applications pending federal approval will not be accorded priority consideration.
• Requests for support of clinical trials or drug discovery will not be approved. The Foundation will not support projects which we consider pre-clinical drug development.

Please note, while RDS and SPS will manage submitting the institutional nomination, it is the responsibility of the selected faculty members to complete the portal registration by the July 17, 2026 at 8pm EST deadline.
