2022 The Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering

C. Williams
S. Sullivan

UArizona is invited to nominate two candidates.

The Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering program invests in future leaders who have the freedom to take risks, explore new frontiers in their fields of study, and follow uncharted paths that may lead to groundbreaking discoveries. 

Candidates must be faculty members who are eligible to serve as principal investigators engaged in research in the natural and physical sciences or engineering and must be within the first three years of their faculty careers. Disciplines that will be considered include physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, astronomy, computer science, earth science, ocean science, and all branches of engineering. Candidates engaged in research in the social sciences will not be considered. 

Candidates must be faculty members in the first three years of their faculty careers, that is, whose initial faculty appointments began no earlier than May 31, 2019, and no later than May 31, 2022.

2022 Energy Frontier Research Centers

Ticket #1: E. Ratcliff 

Ticket #2: O. Monti 

Ticket #3: V. Coropceanu

UArizona may submit three pre-applications. The pre-application institutional selections are also the selections for the application step should DOE approve a full application.

The DOE SC program in Basic Energy Sciences (BES) announces a re-competition of the Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) program and encourages both new and renewal applications. Applications from multi-disciplinary teams will be required to propose both discovery science and use-inspired basic research that addresses priority research directions and opportunities identified by a series of BES workshop and roundtable reports. DOE encourages applications that propose fundamental chemical sciences, materials sciences, geosciences, and biosciences research that will enable future clean energy technologies and advanced manufacturing. Coordination across programs is a high priority for DOE. EFRCs under this FOA will include awards for fundamental science that underpins the Energy Earthshots Initiative

2022 Science and Technology Centers: Integrative Partnerships

UArizona may submit three preliminary proposals. One institutional limited submissions Tickets is available through this internal competition.

The Science and Technology Centers (STC): Integrative Partnerships program supports exceptionally innovative, complex research and education projects that require large-scale, long-term awards. STCs focus on creating new scientific paradigms, establishing entirely new scientific disciplines and developing transformative technologies which have the potential for broad scientific or societal impact. The UArizona pre-proposal mirrors the NSF preliminary proposal contents. Include the following sections in the two-page concept paper: Center Rationale, Center Plan, Integration Strategies.

Ticket #1: P. Deymier
Ticket #2: J. Chorover
Ticket #3: F. Ozel

2022 January NSF Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) Research Partnerships track

No applicants // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1 

 

UA may submit one proposal under the Research Partnerships track.

There is no institutional limitation on the Technology Translation track; however, we encourage you to contact RDS for industry engagement and proposal development supportContact RDS if you are interested in applying to the Technology Translation track.

The Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) Program within the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (IIP) offers researchers from all disciplines of science and engineering funded by NSF the opportunity to perform translational research and technology development, catalyze partnerships and accelerate the transition of discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace for societal benefit.

Centers for Innovation and Community Engagement in Solid Earth Geohazards

J. Pelletier

UArizona may submit no more than two proposals across both tracks as the lead institution.

The Program has two tracks, both of which are described in this solicitation. Track I – Center Catalyst awards are intended to provide resources to catalyze initiatives to develop future centers. These awards would support groups to develop the science, management, and broader impact concepts for of a major research center. Track II – Center Operation awards are intended to support the operation of a fully developed center.
