Simons Collaborations in Mathematics and the Physical Sciences (MPS) Program
Up to $2 Million/yr for an initial period of 4 years
LOI Due 10/1/2020 Full Proposal Due 02/14/2021
|
|
The aim of the Simons Collaborations in MPS program is to stimulate progress on fundamental scientific questions of major importance in
mathematics, theoretical physics and theoretical computer science
.
Simons Collaboration in MPS should address a mathematical or theoretical topic of fundamental scientific importance, where a significant, new development creates a novel area for exploration or provides a new direction for progress in an established field. The questions addressed by the collaboration may be concrete or conceptual, but there should be little doubt that answering them would constitute a major scientific milestone. The project should have clearly defined initial activities and goals by which progress and success can be measured. The support from the foundation should be seen as critical for the objectives of the project.

Mechanistic Studies of the Interaction between SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 and Diseases and Organ Systems of interest to National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) RFA-DK-20-021
|
|
$250,000/yr up to maximum of 3 yrs
Application Due 12/16/2020
|
|
|
NIDDK solicits new research in
human subjects or model organisms, using isolated tissues, cells, or in vivo approaches
to delineate and address mechanisms by which people with diseases in the mission of NIDDK have poor outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection, including variable susceptibility, altered course of disease, morbidity and mortality. Research focused on how SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 lead to acute or chronic damage to organs, contributing to development of the diseases of interest to NIDDK, is also responsive. The knowledge gained will contribute a new evidence base to accelerate advances in diagnostics, therapeutics, clinical management, and public health innovation, as related to diseases and outcomes of interest to NIDDK.

Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) NSF 16-552
$2,000,000 maximum
Proposal Due 12/11/2020
|
|
|
The Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program seeks to advance knowledge about models to improve pathways to the professoriate and success for
historically underrepresented minority doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty
, particularly African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians,Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders, in specific STEM disciplines and/or STEM education research fields. New and innovative models are encouraged, as are models that reproduce and/or replicate existing evidence-based alliances in significantly different disciplines, institutions, and participant cohorts.
The AGEP program goal is to increase the number of historically underrepresented minority faculty, in specific STEM disciplines and STEM education research fields, by advancing knowledge about pathways to career success. The program objectives include: To support the development, implementation and study of innovative models of doctoral education, postdoctoral training, and faculty advancement for historically underrepresented minorities in specific STEM disciplines and/or STEM education research fields; and to advance knowledge about the underlying issues,policies and practices that have an impact on the participation, transitions and advancement of historically underrepresented minorities in the STEM academy.
