The goals of the CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program are aligned with the U.S. strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce. These goals are to increase the quantity of new entrants to the government cyber workforce, to increase the national capacity for the education of cybersecurity professionals, to increase national research and development capabilities in critical information infrastructure protection, and to strengthen partnerships between institutions of higher education and relevant employment sectors. The SFS program welcomes proposals to establish or to continue scholarship programs in cybersecurity. All scholarship recipients must work after graduation for a federal, state, local, or tribal Government organization in a position related to cybersecurity for a period equal to the length of the scholarship. A proposing institution must provide clearly documented evidence of a strong existing academic program in cybersecurity. Such evidence can include ABET accreditation in cybersecurity; a designation by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE), in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO) or in Research (CAE-R); or equivalent evidence documenting a strong program in cybersecurity.

UArizona is ineligible to submit to the 2022 due date for this solicitation. RDS does not anticipate eligibility until 2024.

The LOI deadline has been extended from 3/10/2022 to 5/10/2022.

UArizona may submit one full proposal as the lead. This opportunity is Institutionally Coordinated. Please contact RDS for more information.

Limited submission language from the solicitation: An organization may submit only one CISE-RV proposal in which it is the lead institution. This limit has been set to ensure that a single organization submits a strong and focused proposal that leverages all the resources available to that organization. In the event that an organization exceeds this limit, proposals will be accepted based on earliest date and time of proposal submission, i.e., the first proposal from that organization will be accepted, and the remainder will be returned without review. No exceptions will be made.

This opportunity is Institutionally Coordinated to prevent overlapping topic area submissions.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Health Workforce Research Center (HWRC) Cooperative Agreement Program. The purpose of this program is to support and disseminate rigorous research that strengthens evidence-based policy and enhances understanding of issues and trends in the health workforce.

Limited submission language in the solicitation:

NOTE: Multiple applications from an organization with the same DUNS number or Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) are allowable if the applications propose separate and distinct projects and the applicants meet the two following conditions:

1. Each campus of the applicant organization is allowed to submit one application per HWRC topic area (from Section I.1 of this notice). A campus is defined as a division of a university that has the same name yet is separate with its own grounds, buildings (e.g., school of nursing) and faculty; a single department or agency of a state or local government. For example, the University of ABC – Springfield and the University of ABC – Goldboro can each submit an application for the same HWRC topic area under this program.
2. You can submit only one application per campus for each of the eight (8) HWRC topic areas identified in Section I.1. For example, the University of ABC – Springfield can submit one application for the Health Equity in the Health Workforce topic area AND one application for the Behavioral Health Workforce topic area. Alternatively, the University of ABC – Springfield can submit one application for the Health Equity in the Health Workforce topic area, and the University of ABC – Goldboro can submit one application for the Behavioral Health Workforce topic area.

The US Department of State (DOS) issues a range of funding opportunities, and some but not all are limited submissions. Historically RDS has received very few responses to these opportunities. In order to streamline the limited submission process, reduce faculty and administration burden, and determine an institutional selection expeditiously when deadlines are approaching, RDS will not be posting each opportunity individually. We will consider these DOS opportunities to be "Open" under the UArizona Limited Submission Process unless they are specifically designated otherwise on the Limited Submissions Table.

If you would like to search the current opportunities from the Department of State, please visit https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-grants.html and filter under “Agency” for Department of State. Funding opportunities are also available on the Department of State website listed under the Bureau or Office that oversees the program. Before submitting a limited submission ticket request, interested PIs should verify their eligibility to apply for the specific funding opportunity under the University of Arizona RII Principal Investigator Guidelines.

If you find a US Department of State opportunity you would like to apply for, please check the solicitation language to determine whether it is a limited submission. Common phrases indicating it is limited include: “institutions may submit only one application/two applications/etc.,” “multiple applications from an organization are not allowed,” or “organizations are permitted one application per program area/track, etc.” This is usually under the "Eligibility" section of the solicitation. If it is institutionally limited, please submit a pre-proposal through this website at the "Submit UA LS Ticket Request" button above. Under the UArizona Limited Submission Process for "Open" opportunities, PIs/Teams are given priority to submit based on the order in which requests are received.

The application slot(s) for Department of State limited submissions will be filled on a rolling basis, so please request the LS ticket as soon as possible. For any questions or concerns, please contact RDS at limitedsubmissions@email.arizona.edu.
