CK. Chan (Astronomy) - Track 1: ExpandAI Capacity Building Pilots.

Eligible MSIs can submit a Concept Outline at any time. Those that have been invited to submit a full proposal can submit a proposal based on that Concept Outline at any time during one of the submission windows.

NSF and its partners support the continued growth of a broad and diverse interdisciplinary research community for the advancement of AI and AI-powered innovation, providing a unique opportunity to broadly promote the NSF vision and core values, especially inclusion and collaboration. The Expanding AI Innovation through Capacity Building and Partnerships (ExpandAI) program aims to significantly broaden participation in AI research, education, and workforce development through capacity development projects and through partnerships within the National AI Research Institutes ecosystem.
 

Track 1: ExpandAI Capacity Building Pilots
Up to $400,000 total budget over two years

Capacity Building Pilots (CAP) are planning and growth efforts focused on the establishment of AI activities at the funded MSI and the early exploration of future synergistic partnerships that have the potential to be part of prospective ExpandAI Partnerships. Successful pilots will result in establishing new AI research capacity, education/workforce development in AI, and/or AI infrastructure capacity at the proposing institution and, potentially, a basis for future AI partnerships. CAP activities should plan for engaging appropriate communities to test the feasibility of partnerships as well as developing plans for continuing capacity development. Plans should consider required research infrastructure, plans to leverage established groups in related research areas, and inclusion of faculty training and research experiences that emphasize the diversification of investigators.

Track 2: ExpandAI Partnerships
$300,000 to $700,000/year for up to 4 years

The ExpandAI Partnership (PARTNER) track is an opportunity for MSIs to scale up already-established AI research and/or education programs and to initiate/leverage new collaborations with AI Institutes. These partnerships will be multi-organization collaborations submitted by an MSI and will include a subaward to an AI Institute. PARTNER projects are centered around shared, complementary goals. Proposals will be submitted as single-organizational collaborative proposals. PARTNER proposals may only be submitted by a qualifying MSI as indicated in Eligible Institutions in this solicitation.

UA may submit one proposal.

Through project-based funding, the program supports public engagement with, and access to, various forms of art across the nation, the creation of art, learning in the arts at all stages of life, and the integration of the arts into the fabric of community life. We fund arts projects in the following disciplines: Artist Communities, Arts Education, Dance, Design, Folk & Traditional Arts, Literary Arts, Local Arts Agencies, Media Arts, Museums, Music, Musical Theater, Opera, Presenting & Multidisciplinary Arts, Theater, and Visual Arts.

A project may consist of one or more specific events or activities; it may be a new initiative or part of your organization’s regular season or activities. Organizations that undertake a single short-term program in a year could apply for that event, or they could identify certain components (such as the presentation of a particular artist and the associated activities) as their project. Organizations may apply for any or all phases of a project, from its planning through its implementation. A project should not encompass all of an organization’s activities or costs in a given year.

Additional submission information:

• An organization may submit only one application under these FY 2024 Grants for Arts Projects guidelines (i.e., one application per calendar year).
• All Artist Communities and Design applicants must apply at the February 9, 2023, deadline.
• An organization may not apply to both the Challenge America category and the Grants for Arts Projects category in the same calendar year. UA is not eligible to apply to the Challenge America, due an active award.
• An organization may apply to other NEA funding opportunities, including Our Town, in addition to Grants for Arts Projects. If you submit applications to other opportunities, each request must be for a distinctly different project or a distinctly different phase of the same project, with a different period of performance and costs.

   

Exceptions to the one-application rule are made only for:

• Parent (and Related) Organizations
  A parent organization that comprises separately identifiable and independent components (e.g., a university campus that has a presenting organization and a radio station) may submit an application for each such component. In addition, a parent organization also may submit one application on its own behalf for a project that is different from any project submitted in an application by its independent component(s).

• Applicants to the Media Arts discipline at the July 6, 2023, deadline
  An organization of any artistic discipline may submit one additional application in the Grants for Arts Projects category through the Media Arts discipline at the July 6, 2023, deadline. The additional application must be for a distinctly different project and must align with certain programmatic requirements described here: Additional Applications in Media Arts.

   

Areas of particular interest:

• Elevate artists as integral and essential to a healthy and vibrant society.
• Celebrate the nation’s creativity and/or cultural heritage.
• Facilitate cross-sector collaborations that center the arts at the intersection of other disciplines, sectors, and industries.
• Contribute to healthy and thriving local, regional, state-wide, and national arts ecosystems and arts infrastructures.
• Invest in organizational capacity-building and leadership development for arts organizations, arts workers, and artists.
• Build arts organizations’ capacity to serve a broad public through digital or emergent technology and/or support tech-centered creative practices across all artistic disciplines and forms.
• Originate from or are in collaboration with the following constituencies encouraged by White House Executive Orders:
  • Historically Black Colleges and Universities,
  • Tribal Colleges and Universities,
  • American Indian and Alaska Native tribes,
  • Predominantly Black Institutions,
  • Hispanic Serving Institutions,
  • Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, and
  • Organizations that support the independence and lifelong inclusion of people with disabilities.

UArizona may only apply for and propose grant projects which address one of the training tracks identified.

The DOL Nursing Expansion Grant Program will build a pipeline of skilled and diverse workers that will help the U.S. meet current and future demand for nurse education professional and nursing occupations. Successful applicants will address the goals of the grant program by designing their grant projects from both (1) a strategic level, such as describing their planned activities for convening sector partnerships, assessing the healthcare needs within a particular geographic scope, and devising a comprehensive workforce strategy; and (2) an operational level, such as incorporating in their plans how they will implement their comprehensive workforce strategy and deploy the training activities.

Program Tracks:

• Nurse Education Professional Track: Increasing Nursing Instructors and Educators to Train the Next Generation Healthcare Workforce and Build More Resilient Healthcare Systems
• Nursing Career Pathways Track: Expanding the Pipeline of Nursing Professionals
