For the 2027 award, one nomination will be invited from each of the participating institutions. 

Program Overview
The Pew-Stewart Scholars for Cancer Research supports assistant professors of outstanding promise in science relevant to the advancement of a cure for cancer. The award provides $300,000 in flexible support—$75,000 per year for a four-year period. For the 2027 award, one nomination will be invited from each of the participating institutions listed at the bottom of this page.

In line with The Alexander and Margaret Stewart Trust’s mission to invest in innovative, cutting-edge cancer research that may accelerate and advance progress toward a cure for cancer, applications are invited from nominees conducting cancer research. This program is distinct from the Pew Scholars Program, and it follows a different, but parallel set of guidelines and procedures for nominating an applicant whose research is related to cancer.

Eligibility
Candidates must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:

• Hold a doctorate in biomedical sciences, medicine, or a related field, including engineering or the physical sciences.
• As of Aug. 27, 2026, run an independent lab and hold a full-time appointment at the rank of assistant professor. (Appointments such as research assistant professor, adjunct assistant professor, assistant professor research track, visiting professor, or instructor are not eligible.)
  • Current appointments such as research assistant professor, adjunct assistant professor, assistant professor research track, visiting professor, or instructor are not eligible to apply.
• Must not have been appointed as an assistant professor at any institution prior to June 10, 2023, whether or not such an appointment was on a tenure track. Time spent in clinical internships, residencies, in work toward board certification, or on parental leave does not count as part of this three-year limit. Candidates who need an exception on the three-year limit should contact Pew’s program office to ensure that application reviewers are aware an exception has been given.
• May apply to the program a maximum of two times. All applicants must be nominated by their institution and must complete the 2027 online application.
• If applicants have appointments at more than one eligible nominating institution or affiliate, they may not reapply in a subsequent year from a different nominating entity.
• May not be nominated for the Pew Scholars Program and the Pew-Stewart Scholars Program for Cancer Research in the same year.

Based on their performance during their education and training, candidates should demonstrate outstanding promise as contributors in science relevant to the field of cancer. This program does not fund clinical trials research. Strong proposals will incorporate particularly creative and pioneering approaches to basic, translational, and applied cancer research. Candidates whose work is based on biomedical principles but who bring in concepts and theories from more diverse fields are encouraged to apply.

Ideas with the potential to produce an unusually high impact are encouraged. Selection of the successful candidates will be based on a detailed description of the work that the applicant proposes to undertake, evaluations of the candidate’s performance, and notable past accomplishments, including honors, awards, and publications. In evaluating the candidates, the National Advisory Committee gives considerable weight to both the project proposal and the researcher, including evidence that the candidate is a successful independent investigator and has the skill set needed to carry out their high-impact proposal.

Funding from the NIH, other government sources, and project grants from nonprofit associations do not pose a conflict with the Pew-Stewart program. If you have questions concerning eligibility, please contact Pew Biomedical Programs (Pew-Stewart@pewtrusts.org) in advance of applying.

Program Description
Full sponsor guidelines are linked here.

The Critical Minerals and Materials (CMM) Accelerator program is an initiative from the U.S. Department of Energy to strengthen domestic CMM supply chains. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), issued by the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) and the Office of Geothermal (OG), provides up to $69 million to directly address the national imperative to secure a reliable, predictable, and affordable domestic supply of CMMs which are foundational to U.S. energy dominance, national security, and industrial competitiveness.

The CMM Accelerator program targets innovative CMM production technologies that have demonstrated promising results at the bench scale (Technology Readiness Level 3-4) but require further development to achieve commercial viability. A significant challenge lies in advancing these laboratory-scale innovations beyond the "valley of death" to industrially relevant scales. This NOFO is designed to overcome this barrier by funding collaborative industry partnerships for prototyping and small-scale piloting of these critical processes and materials. Over a decade of DOE funding has laid the groundwork, and this program builds upon that to validate technologies and establish the confidence needed for substantial follow-on investment. 

The primary goals are to foster industry partnerships, validate technologies for material optimization and cost-competitive production, enable informed decisions through rigorous analysis, and accelerate domestic CMM manufacturing capabilities. The NOFO includes three key Topic Areas: (1) recovery and production of critical materials from secondary sources such as post-industrial scrap and e-waste; (2) processes to refine and alloy gallium, gallium nitride, germanium, and silicon carbide for semiconductor applications; and (3) technologies for cost competitive direct lithium extraction, separation, and processing. Projects are expected to mature technologies to Technology Readiness Levels 6 (TRL 6), demonstrating economic viability, material efficiency, and reduced reliance on external CMM sources. Projects must also significantly reduce adoption readiness risks, meaning they should address non-technical barriers such as market acceptance, resource availability, supply chain integration, cost effectiveness, and regulatory hurdles to ensure these technologies can be successfully integrated and utilized commercially. 

The target audience for this NOFO includes a broad range of domestic entities. Eligible applicants are defined below in section II.A. This NOFO intends to fund a collaborative approach to harness the full spectrum of innovation. Awarded Phase 1 projects will also be eligible to compete for a distinct Phase 2 pilot-scale project through a down-select process, furthering the program's commitment to delivering technologies ready for real-world deployment and impact.

Executive Summary 
The Office of Sports Diplomacy of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites proposals for the Sports Visitor Program. This international exchange program uses sports to advance the Administration’s foreign policy priorities, promote American leadership, and support the U.S. sports economy. The Sports Visitor Program includes countries from all six regions of the world, as determined in consultation with the Department’s regional bureaus. The program is authorized under the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Fulbright-Hays Act), which aims to increase mutual understanding and strengthen ties between the people of the United States and other nations. 

The Sports Visitor Program brings together American and international youth and adult coaches/chaperones for thematic, sports-based exchanges. The target audience for this program is American and international youth (ages 15- 23) and their adult coaches/chaperones. The program is not intended for elite or professional athletes. Through both U.S.-based and international exchanges, participants develop leadership skills, build lasting bilateral relationships, and explore the positive impact of U.S. laws – such as Title IX and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – on sports and society. The program focuses on peer-to-peer engagement, cultural exchange, and helping youth become role models and community leaders. 

Key program components include: 

• Organizing thematic exchanges to meet program goals;
• Integrating with existing youth sports camps and/or creating customized camps to maximize interaction between American and international participants;
• Balancing on-the-field sports training with off-the-field workshops, community service, and cultural activities;
• Launching special initiatives to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and major sporting events hosted in the United States; and
• Providing comprehensive orientations, strong media and communication strategies, and ongoing alumni engagement and follow-on activities. 

ECA funding will support approximately five U.S.-based exchanges and approximately seven international-based exchanges, each lasting at least two weeks. The program will also support follow-on projects so participants can share what they learned in their home communities. The award will fund approximately 265 Sports Visitor Program participants (130 foreign and 135 American as detailed in Section 3). Applicants are encouraged to exceed these numbers should their expertise lead to cost-efficiencies. 

Eligible applicants include U.S. not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and NGOs) and U.S. not-for-profit public and private educational institutions with at least four years of experience conducting international exchanges. Applicants must be registered in SAM.gov with a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Only one proposal per organization will be considered. 

ECA anticipates that a single award recipient will manage all organizational and administrative responsibilities of the program and select qualified partners (subaward recipients) to implement the international-based exchanges. Applicants should explain how they will manage and oversee these sub-awards.
