Nominations are being accepted for the IBM Ph.D. Fellowship Awards Program

IBM invites applications for the IBM PhD Fellowship Awards from students whose graduate research work aligns with IBM’s strategic directions in Semiconductor Technology, Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Multi-Cloud Computing and Hybrid Cloud Platforms for AI, Security, and Responsible Computing. Current topics of interest within these areas include:

• Two-Dimensional (2D) Materials
• Back-End-Of-Line (BEOL) Interconnects
• Quantum Algorithms Theory
• Quantum Algorithms Engineering
• Building a Vibrant AI Hardware Ecosystem
• Tools for AI Model and Application Building
• Expanding the Ecosystem of Open Models and Datasets
• Generative AI for Security
• Security of Generative AI
• Quantum-safe cryptography.

Please see the website for complete details, full eligibility, and submission guidelines: https://research.ibm.com/university/awards/index.html

UA Research Development Services (RDS) has advised that faculty should coordinate their nomination(s) with their department chair because there is a limit of three nominations per department. Four nominations are allowed from each university. If four nominations are submitted, it is IBM Global University program’s expectation that two of the four applications are for diversity candidates or underrepresented populations in technology. Contact RDS at limitedsubmissions@arizona.edu with questions on the limits.

All nominees must be nominated by a doctoral faculty member; students cannot nominate themselves.

The nomination period for the 2024 PhD Fellowships will be open from July 15, 2024, through August 30, 2024, 11:59PM Eastern Time.

Organizations may submit no more than two (2) SOIs and only one (1) SOI per category. The applicant must explicitly identify the category for each SOI submitted.

This solicitation is specific to Costa Rica and includes two (2) categories under which applicants may submit SOIs:
1) Workforce Development
2) Policy and Regulatory Reform

The submission of the SOI is the first step in a two-step process. Applicants must first submit a concise no more than three (3) page statement of interest designed to clearly communicate the program idea and objectives. This is not a full proposal. The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants to submit program ideas for evaluation prior to requiring the development of a full proposal application. Upon a merit review of eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to expand on their program idea(s) by submitting a full proposal application. Full proposals will go through a second merit review before final funding decisions are made.  

EB administers a portion of the ITSI Fund, the “ITSI Promote” line of effort, to help expand international semiconductor assembly, testing, and packaging (“ATP” or “downstream”) capacity in key partner countries that will in turn diversify the global semiconductor supply chain. EB’s objectives under the ITSI Fund are to: 1) Expand and diversify the required workforce for semiconductor ATP facilities to ensure growth; and 2) Improve regulatory environments that will encourage private sector efforts that generate additional capabilities in ATP facilities.

The purpose of FASLP (Assistance Listing 10.522) is to increase knowledge of agriculture and improve the nutritional health of children. The primary goals of FASLP are to:
1. Increase capacity for food, garden, and nutrition education within host organizations or entities and school cafeterias and in the classroom;
2. Complement and build on the efforts of the farm to school programs implemented under section 18(g) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act [(42 U.S.C. 1769(g)]
3. Complement efforts by the Department and school food authorities to implement the school lunch programs established under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq,) and the school breakfast program established by section 4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1773);
4. Carry out activities that advance the nutritional health of children and nutrition education in elementary schools and secondary schools (as those terms are defined in section 9101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C 7801); and
5. Foster higher levels of community engagement and support the expansion of national service and volunteer opportunities.

FASLP supports projects that bring together stakeholders from the distinct parts of the food system to increase the capacity for food, garden, and nutrition education within host organizations or entities, such as school cafeterias and classrooms, while fostering higher levels of community engagement between farms and school systems. The goal of these efforts is to not only increase access to school meals for underserved children, but also to dramatically improve their quality.

FASLP is also focused on the development of leadership skills, knowledge, and qualities necessary to prepare students for food and agricultural and related careers in the private sector, government, and academia.
