Synopsis

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation (the foundation) are continuing their partnership to support this program, to be administered by NSF, supporting conservation science and science-informed conservation practice in the United States. The objective of the PACSP Program is to support conservation research that investigates organismal biology, ecology, and/or evolution and is designed to contribute to the development and implementation of evidence-based activities and/or technology solutions to advance biodiversity conservation. We seek proposals that involve the implementation of conservation activities based on conservation science principles via academic-conservation organization partnerships. The strongest projects will involve ongoing assessment of biodiversity outcomes, for instance via an adaptive management framework, that inform both scientific understanding and conservation actions. Proposals submitted to the PACSP program must make clear and well-defined connections between basic research questions and the implementation of conservation focused

Synopsis

Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes are large-scale interdisciplinary research projects motivated by major challenges at the frontiers of quantum information science and technology (QIST). Institutes are expected to catalyze breakthroughs on important problems underpinning QIST, for example in the focus areas of quantum computation, quantum communication, quantum simulation and/or quantum sensing. Successful institutes will coordinate a variety of approaches to specific scientific, technological, and educational goals in these fields, including multiple institutions and building upon multiple disciplines, as motivated by the science and engineering challenges. In so doing, Institutes will nurture a culture of discovery, provide education, training, and workforce development opportunities in the context of cutting-edge research, and demonstrate value-added from synergistic coordination within the institute and with the broader community. Partnerships, infrastructure, industry engagement, outreach, international collaboration, and new applications for QIST should be fostered by Institutes in support of their research, education, and

Synopsis

To advance the understanding of novel quantum systems under the influence of time-periodic driving forces, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have a mutual interest in exploring innovative concepts on the REsearch in FLoquet Engineered QuanTum Systems (REFLEQTS). For transformational capabilities promised by quantum science to become deployable, new approaches must be developed to create, control, and conserve fragile quantum states on demand.

This topic aligns with the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) as described in the National Science and Technology Council’s strategy to extend the research opportunity of Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) by broadening the interagency collaboration and increasing global competitiveness in QISE research outcome that can strengthen National Security. 

This solicitation encourages research teams consisting of multiple Principal Investigators (PIs) from multiple institutions to submit proposals on transformative approaches and solutions in materials,
