Dear Colleagues:

With this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP) and the Department of Energy’s Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) announce their intent to together establish a strategic leadership network on climate action engagement aimed at the transition from the linear economy of today to a circular economy of tomorrow, including one that will better integrate university research and community needs. With this investment, NSF and DOE aim to organize “Climate Action Ambassadors” into an effective national network of professionals to develop evidence-based models, program concepts and recommendations that share, implement, and scale university-community partnerships in this national priority area.

Dear Colleagues:

This DCL aims to advance NSF’s Vision of a “nation that leads the world in science and engineering research and innovation, to the benefit of all, without barriers to participation”, which is closely aligned with the NSF 2022-2026 Strategic Plan and the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Data Action Plan. NSF is fully committed to the development of a future-focused science and engineering workforce that draws on the talents of all Americans, including those in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) communities.

This DCL encourages four proposal types:

Proposals for fundamental, use-inspired, and/or translational research and/or research syntheses. Proposed projects may involve the collection and analysis of new and/or existing data, meta-syntheses, meta-analyses, and/or structured literature reviews. Project topics may include,

Dear Colleagues:

SCOPE

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Research Cooperation. The MOU provides an overarching framework to encourage collaboration between U.S. and U.K. research communities and sets out the principles by which jointly supported activities might be developed. The MOU provides for a Lead Agency Opportunity whereby proposals may be submitted to either NSF or UKRI.

Through this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (NSF/BIO) and the UKRI Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) are pleased to announce 2024/2025 topical areas associated with this Lead Agency Opportunity.

The goal of this activity is to promote transatlantic collaborative research by reducing some of the barriers that researchers may encounter. The
