NASA EPSCoR Research Collaboration |
|
Webinar about this solicitation will be held Monday, June 26, 2023 at 11 am PT. Use this Microsoft Teams link to attend: JOIN THE MEETING
The National NASA EPSCoR Program will be releasing the 2024 Research Collaboration Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in September 2023. NV NASA EPSCoR will be permitted to submit a single full proposal, which will likely be due in mid-December 2023. To allow sufficient time to select and develop a single strong full proposal from Nevada, letters of intent and pre-proposals are being solicited in advance of the Federal NOFO release. The LOIs are required to submit a pre-proposal and will be used to select review panel members for the pre-proposal competitive external review. The results of the external review will result in the selection of one pre-proposal that will advance to full proposal development. Note: The National NASA EPSCoR NOFO will only permit one full proposal submission per EPSCoR state.
Eligibility: Faculty at NSHE institutions, particularly junior faculty, women, and members of other underrepresented populations are encouraged to apply. Faculty who have a current National NASA EPSCoR Research Collaboration NOFO project are not eligible to apply while their project is on-going. Pre-proposals must include Co-PIs from at least three NSHE institutions.
Funding: The NASA EPSCoR Research Collaboration NOFO will provide an award of $1,125,000 total for a three-year period with the expectation of a 2:1 match; i.e., $750K in Federal funds and $375K in state matching funds (contingent on matching fund availability) and/or institutional match.
Letters of Intent must be submitted no later than 5:00 pm PT on July 21, 2023.
Pre-proposals must be submitted no later than 5:00 pm PT on August 25, 2023.

NIA Toxicants on Brain Aging and Alzheimer's |
|
The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications that propose to use mouse models to evaluate the molecular, pathologic, and functional consequences of major toxicants known to be associated with elevated Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) risk by conducting cross-sectional/longitudinal multi-modal (i.e., molecular, biochemical, pathologic and behavioral) phenotyping.
The central goal is to examine the consequences of early and mid-life exposure on late life brain health, including the impact of genetic diversity and sex differences on exposure-related AD/ADRD outcomes across brain and peripheral tissues.
