Sloan Centers for Systemic Change
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
Pre-preposal submissions due by May 5, 2023
|
|
|
|
The Sloan Foundation will award seed grants of up to $250,000 to U.S. STEM doctoral programs advancing systemic change to dramatically increase diversity, foster inclusion, and close equity gaps, with the potential for large-scale, long-term investment to follow.
These seed grants will allow institutions to put in place new projects-and strengthen existing ones-to improve participation rates, experiences, and outcomes for Black, Indigenous, and Latina/o/x populations, as for all students. This work will pursue systemic change at the university, college, and departmental levels, and as such, project designs will incorporate cross-departmental collaboration and leadership as primary drivers of project activities.

Global Centers Program:
Use-inspired research addressing global challenges in climate change and clean energy
An international funding initiative
Proposals due: May 10, 2023
|
|
|
|
The Global Centers program is an NSF-led effort, implemented in partnership with like-minded international funders, to encourage and support large-scale international collaborative research on use-inspired themes in climate change and clean energy.
The program is a joint initiative between the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the US National Science Foundation (NSF), Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

Institutional Challenge Grant Program
William T. Grant Foundation
Start planning today for the next funding cycle!
|
|
|
|
Research-practice partnerships bring together experts from the research and practice communities to develop a joint research agenda to address pressing questions. However, despite its considerable benefits, collaborative work of this type is not always valued by universities and, as a result, policies and practices within universities can inadvertently create disincentives for faculty members to participate in research-practice partnerships.
In response to these obstacles, the William T. Grant Foundation established the Institutional Challenge Grant program, encouraging research institutions to remove barriers that inhibit collaborative work. In addition to supporting an existing institutional partnership to pursue a joint research agenda in order to reduce inequality in youth outcomes, these grants enable changes in institutional policy and practice to value research-practice partnerships and enhance the capacity of researchers and practitioners to together produce and use rigorous research results.

Accelerating Research Translation
National Science Foundation
Proposals due: May 9, 2023 and Sep 18, 2024
|
|
|
|
The National Science Foundation seeks to increase the scale and pace of advancing discoveries made while conducting academic research into tangible solutions that benefit the public. This is the primary aim of the Accelerating Research Translation program. The primary goals of this program are to build capacity and infrastructure for translational research at U.S. Institutions of Higher Education and to enhance their role in regional innovation ecosystems. In addition, this program seeks to effectively train graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in translational research, benefiting them across a range of career options.
