Emory - Georgia Tech Collaborative Research Seed Grant Program: AI.Humanity
Deadline April 27, 2022, at 5:00 p.m.
The Office of the Senior Vice President for Research (SVPR) at Emory University and the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research (EVPR) at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) are delighted to announce a new collaborative research seed grant program.
The purpose of the AI.Humanity seed grant is to spur new research collaborations and expand existing partnerships to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to improve society and our daily lives. Projects may incorporate research including, but not limited to, aspects of ethical and social considerations, social justice, health disparities or bias in AI data. Applied projects are welcome.
This jointly funded program will provide a maximum of $100,000 over a one-year project period to support research projects that will explore how AI can be improved or used for societal good.

NIH Request for Information (RFI) on Interdisciplinary Research Opportunities that Bridge Neuroscience and Environmental Health Science
Deadline: May 7, 2022
This Request for Information (RFI) seeks input on challenges and opportunities for interdisciplinary research that brings together neuroscientists, environmental health scientists, and scientists from other related disciplines to form new teams to advance understanding of the contribution of environmental toxicants to impaired function of the nervous system across the life span.
For the purpose of this RFI, environmental toxicants of primary interest include industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, plastics, fungal exposures, and bacterial or biologically derived toxins. Expression of toxicity can take many forms across different ages and developmental stages, ranging from neurodevelopmental to neurodegenerative disorders, and encompassing alterations in cognition and behavior that range from subtle to severe. The full range of nervous system outcomes is relevant to this RFI.

ORAU-Directed Research and Development Grants
Deadline: June 2022
Emory University is a Member!
This investment program provides a path for funding innovative research-based approaches/solutions that fall within the intersection of core capabilities of ORAU and our member universities’ research interests. We envision ODRD-funded projects to result in proposals that can generate new sponsored research jointly performed by ORAU and partner universities.
ODRD funding, distributed through a competitive process, serves as seed money for exploratory research and collaboration opportunities between ORAU subject matter experts and our university partners. This seed money and exploratory research provides greater potential for significant funding from external sources.
- ODRD supports university-engaged, applied research while increasing the potential for significant external research funding and strengthening ORAU’s ability to address current and future customer needs.
Contact Robert Nobles if you are interested in being connected to this opportunity!

Emory University and University of St Andrews Collaborative Research Grants – 2022 Guidelines for Applicants
Deadline: April 21, 2022
This Collaborative Research Grant, offered by Emory University’s Halle Institute for Global
Research and the University of St Andrews, fosters international research broadly. Applicants from all schools and disciplines are encouraged to submit funding applications for innovative and sustainable projects built around collaborative research linking faculty from the University of St Andrews and Emory University. The research may take place in any country as long as it is done collaboratively. The expectation is that these initial projects will lead to longer-term collaborations, institutional and research relations, and when applicable, generate publications, art, exhibitions and/or external funding for ongoing collaboration. Applications that include students and/or collaborations across schools, disciplines and units are encouraged.

NSF Convergence Accelerator has issued a new funding opportunity
Deadline: May 31, 2022
The NSF Convergence Accelerator has issued a new funding opportunity for three new research track topics aligned to the 2022 cohort. Researchers and innovators have two submission pathways to submit their proposals: Solicitation, NSF-22-583 and Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), NSFBAA-CA22-02.
The Funding Tracks:
|
|
Track H:
Enhancing Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities
This track will converge a wide range of disciplines to include social sciences, behavioral sciences, engineering, computer science, ethics, and economics to develop use-inspired solutions to enhance the quality of life, employment access, and opportunities for persons with disabilities (PWDs)
|
|
Track I:
Sustainable Materials for Global Challenges
This track will converge advances in fundamental materials science with materials design and manufacturing methods with the goal to couple their end-use and full life-cycle considerations for environmentally and economically sustainable materials and products that address global challenges.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), an Australian Government agency, is partnering with the NSF Convergence Accelerator on Track I. Australian researchers have the opportunity to be on multidisciplinary teams that submit proposals aligned to Track I.
|
|
Track J:
Food and Nutrition Security
This track will converge a wide range of disciplines to address intertwined challenges in supporting population health, combating climate change, and addressing the nutritional needs of the most vulnerable by empowering youth, women, and disadvantaged communities.
