Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC) - NSF 21-528 Proposals Due: 03/01/2021 and 10/11/2021

Equipment costs are not allowed in this program area. Proposals for Planning Grants are limited to $100,000 and required to have titles that begin with "CC* Planning:" followed by the title of the project. Proposals for CI-Research Alignment are limited to $200,000 and required to have titles that begin with "CC* CIRA:" followed by the title of the project.
The Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) program invests in coordinated campus-level networking and cyberinfrastructure improvements, innovation, integration, and engineering for science applications and distributed research projects. Learning and workforce development (LWD) in cyberinfrastructure is explicitly addressed in the program. Science-driven requirements are the primary motivation for any proposed activity.
Reproducible Cells and Organoids via Directed-Differentiation Encoding (RECODE) - NSF 21-532
Preliminary Proposal Due (required): 02/18/2021
Full Proposal Due: 05/18/2021
Collaborative proposals, of a duration up to 4 years, with budgets up to $1,500,000 total will be considered
Projects responsive to this solicitation must aim to establish a robustly validated and reproducible set of differentiation design rules, mechanistic models, real-time sensing, control, and quality assurance methods, and integrate them into a workable differentiation strategy. They must deepen our fundamental understanding of how cells develop and differentiate, providing insights into mechanisms, molecular machinery, dynamics, and cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions, and use this understanding to manipulate cells purposefully. 
DOE FY2021 Research Opportunities in High Energy Physics - DE-FOA-0002424
Letter of Intent Due: 12/15/2020
Applications Due: 01/26/2021
$20,000 - $5,000,000 per year
The mission of the HEP program is to understand how the universe works at its most fundamental level, which is done by discovering the elementary constituents of matter and energy, probing the interactions between them, and exploring the basic nature of space and time. The HEP program focuses on three (3) experimental scientific frontiers: Energy Frontier; Intensity Frontier; and Cosmic Frontier.
Collaborative Research in Magnetic Fusion Energy Sciences on Long-Pulse International Sellarator Facilities - DE-FOA-0002429
Pre-Application Due: 12/14/2020
Applications Due: 01/25/2021
$50,000 - $700,000 per year for 3 years
The research should be related to the planning, execution, and analysis of experiments concerning the topical areas described below. The FES Burning Plasma Science: Long Pulse portfolio supports U.S. researchers who work in collaboration with foreign scientists to explore critical science and technology issues at the frontiers of magnetic fusion research. These collaborations take advantage of the unique capabilities of the most advanced overseas research facilities.
Environmental System Science - DE-FOA-0002392
Pre-Application Due: 12/17/2020
Applications Due: 03/04/2021
Up to $1,000,000
This FOA will consider applications that focus on measurements, experiments, field data, and modeling to provide improved understanding and representation of ecosystems and watersheds in ways that advance the sophistication and capabilities of models that span from individual processes to Earth system scales.
