Dear Colleagues:

A strategic focus of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is fostering the growth of a globally competitive and diverse research workforce. NSF’s Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) invites Principal Investigators (PIs) of active awards to submit a supplemental funding request to support the research and training of post-baccalaureate students (post-baccs) who wish to engage in research or who want to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) but have faced barriers to participation in research experiences as an undergraduate student.

For the purposes of this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), a post-bacc is defined as an individual who has a bachelor’s degree but is not currently enrolled in another degree program and is not the recipient of a graduate degree. We expect that

Important Information And Revision Notes

The solicitation has been updated to remove the requirement for a Mentoring Student Researchers section in the Project Description, update the types of research questions of interest to the program, replace the Institutional Transformation Project proposal type with the Partnership for Transformational Research (PTR) Project proposal type, and add the requirement that each PTR proposal include a Project Management Plan (PMP) as a supplementary document.

Important Information

The ER2 program does not normally consider proposals

Dear Colleagues:

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports research at the frontiers of current knowledge, across all fields of science, engineering and education in all 50 states and U.S. territories. NSF is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to seek input to inform the development of the agency’s response to Section 10343. Research Ethics in the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-167). NSF welcomes feedback from interested parties. This includes representatives from non-profit organizations, philanthropies, industry, local, state, and tribal government offices/agencies, K-12 schools and districts, institutions of higher education, trade, and/or vocational schools.

While the NSF has funding opportunities in the area of ethical and societal risks such as Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) and Responsible Design,

Dear Colleagues:

The Mathematical & Physical Sciences Directorate (MPS) of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Romanian Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation Funding (UEFISCDI) are in a partnership to support international collaboration under the NSF-UEFISCDI Lead Agency Opportunity in Mathematical and Physical Sciences. The goal of this activity is to promote collaborative research within the mathematical sciences by reducing barriers to conducting research with international collaborators. The NSF-UEFISCDI Lead Agency Opportunity allows U.S. and Romanian researchers to submit a single collaborative proposal that will undergo a single merit review process through NSF as the lead agency.

This document provides guidelines for the preparation, submission, review and award of NSF-UEFISCDI Collaborative Proposals.

Under the NSF-UEFISCDI Lead Agency Opportunity, proposals may be accepted for
