Submission of a Letter of Intent (LOI) is not required for this ASCENT competition. The program now accepts both types of collaborative proposals described in Chapter II.E.3 of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide. The topic at the heart of the proposal must lie within the scopes of at least two of the three ECCS clusters (CCSS, EPMD, EPCN). Research proposals spanning three clusters are highly encouraged. In FY25 ASCENT will focus on wafer-scale or panel-scale heterogeneous integration of innovative semiconductor systems through advanced packaging. Novel ideas to advance wafer-scale or panel-scale heterogeneous integration technologies are also encouraged. Intel is a funding partner.

Dear Colleagues:

America’s leadership in the bioeconomy is vital to U.S. global competitiveness, security, and economic growth. The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has long supported discoveries in biotechnology, leading to development of novel biopolymers, green fluorescent proteins, gene editing techniques, and other innovations that have advanced fields from biomanufacturing to health care to food production. In response to the Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe and Secure American Bioeconomy1, as well as the CHIPs and Science Act2, NSF seeks to create opportunities for basic researchers to participate alongside more translationally focused research and development institutes to support the growth of biomanufacturing within the U.S.

With this Dear Colleague Letter, NSF announces its partnership with BioMADE, one of the Manufacturing Innovation Institutes

October 11, 2024

Dear Colleagues:

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing security and safeguarding NSF’s IT systems, user accounts, personal and scientific data, and the integrity of the merit review process, effective on October 27, 2024, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is implementing multifactor authentication (MFA) for Research.gov. With the growing number of cyber threats, traditional password-only security is no longer sufficient. MFA provides an added layer of security and helps to ensure that only authorized users can access Federal resources online.

How does this change impact the external research community starting on October 27?

Effective on October 27, all external users must first complete a one-time MFA enrollment process and use the selected MFA method to sign into Research.gov. The MFA options for each user depend

Important Information And Revision Notes

This solicitation provides instructions for preparation of all proposals submitted to the Cultural Anthropology Program other than proposals for Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (DDRIG). Researchers submitting DDRIG proposals should consult the CA-DDRIG solicitation.

If a researcher is unsure whether the Cultural Anthropology Program is appropriate for a proposal topic, they are encouraged to email a one-page summary of their project to the program officer(s) prior to proposal submission. That summary should address the core research question or objective, relevant theoretical background, the methodological and analytical design and the broader impacts of the project.

This revision also provides additional guidance on types
