Ticket #1: I. Djordjevic
Ticket #2: B. Bash

UArizona may submit two preliminary proposals.

The Quantum Sensing Challenges for Transformational Advances in Quantum Systems (QuSeC-TAQS) program supports interdisciplinary teams of three (3) or more investigators to explore highly innovative, original, and potentially transformative research on quantum sensing. The QuSeC-TAQS program supports coordinated efforts to develop and apply quantum sensor systems, with demonstrations resulting in proof of principle or field-testing of concepts and platforms that can benefit society. The QuSeC-TAQS program aligns with recommendations articulated in the strategy report, Bringing Quantum Sensors to Fruition, that was produced by the National Science and Technology Council Subcommittee on Quantum Information Science, under the auspices of the National Quantum Initiative.

UArizona may submit one proposal.

Review and selection of the UArizona institutional submission will be determined by UA Foundation and RII Leadership. Only pre-proposals for the Large Grant – from $100,000 to $1,000,000 – will be accepted for this internal competition.

The Mission of Angel Charity for Children, Inc. (a 501(c)(3)) is to improve the quality of life for children in our community. This is accomplished through an established program of fundraising for the beneficiary(ies) selected annually by the General Membership. It is our hope that the community supports the mission of Angel Charity until all the needs of Pima County’s children have been met.

Submissions must be institutionally coordinated.

UArizona may submit only one Concept Paper and one Full Application for each topic area as the lead applicant.  There are no limitations on partnerships or subrecipients on other applications.

This FOA will fund high-impact, applied research and development and prototype or pilot-scale technology validation and demonstration projects in order to expedite the adoption of transformational industrial technology necessary to increase energy efficiency across industry and in high GHG-emitting industrial subsectors, reducing both energy usage and GHG emissions. This includes cross-sector industrial decarbonization approaches via opportunities in energy efficiency; industrial electrification; low carbon fuels, feedstocks and energy sources; and industrial carbon capture and utilization. This FOA and its associated projects are separate from any forthcoming efforts to be funded under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, including activities related to Industrial Emissions Demonstration Projects.

2. Decarbonizing Iron and Steel
3. Decarbonizing Food and Beverage Products
4. Decarbonizing Cement and Concrete
5. Decarbonizing Paper and Forest Products
6. Cross-sector Decarbonization Technologies

UArizona is invited to submit up to three nominations, one for each of the three disciplinary categories: Life Sciences; Physical Sciences & Engineering; and Chemistry.

The Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists recognize the United States' most promising faculty-rank researchers in Life Sciences, Physical Sciences & Engineering, and Chemistry. One Blavatnik National Awards Laureate in each disciplinary category will receive $250,000 in unrestricted funds, and additional nominees will be recognized as Finalists.

This is an Institutionally Coordinated nomination. Interested applicants or nominators should contact Marie Teemant, Associate, Research Development Services.

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) invites applications for the George M. O’Brien Kidney Consortium -- National Coordination Center (NCC) to lead a nation-wide effort to advance kidney research. The O’Brien Kidney Consortium will consist of ~8 National Resource Centers (NRCs) tasked with developing and sharing specialized kidney resources tools, technologies, services, and expertise and one NCC to lead, manage, and harmonize all aspects of the Consortium. Specifically, the NCC will: (1) provide administrative support and coordination for the entire Consortium, (2) establish and curate a “one-stop-shop” sharing portal for the entire Consortium, (3) develop and implement a multipronged communication and education plan for researchers and students interested in conducting kidney research to maximize national outreach and impact, (4) ensure that patient viewpoints, priorities, and preferences inform all aspects of the Consortium, and (5) administer and manage a national Opportunity Pool program to address gaps and promote collaboration.

The purpose of the DRC is to support Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant programs, hereafter referred to as Title V programs, and other MCH partners in accessing and effectively utilizing national and state-level National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) data to inform policy and practice. Additionally, the purpose of the DRC is to support broad access to and utilization of the NSCH data through an easy-to-use web platform which provides a user-defined query system for point-and-click access to state and national estimates, curated data files for analyses, maps, and methodological documents designed for a wide audience.

Ticket #2, Track 1: Confidential
Ticket #3, Track 2: Confidential
Ticket #4, Track 3: Confidential (Contact RDS for more information. PI names will be posted after the sponsor's deadline.)

NEW to NSF 23-519:
Track 3: Track 3 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,0001 and less than or equal to $4,000,000 that include the purchase, installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment and instrumentation to conserve or reduce the consumption of helium. Institutions may submit no more than one Track 3 proposal. Submission of a Track 3 proposal does not impact limits that apply for Track 1 and Track 2 proposals.

The Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program serves to increase access to multi-user scientific and engineering instrumentation for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education and not-for-profit scientific/engineering research organizations. An MRI award supports the acquisition or development of a multi-user research instrument that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs.

MRI provides support to acquire critical research instrumentation without which advances in fundamental science and engineering research may not otherwise occur. MRI also provides support to develop next-generation research instruments that open new opportunities to advance the frontiers in science and engineering research. Additionally, an MRI award is expected to enhance research training of students who will become the next generation of instrument users, designers and builders.
