Sponsor Deadline: October 31, 2019
Award Amount: stipend of $100,000 

The International Affairs Fellowship is the hallmark fellowship program of CFR. It aims to bridge the gap between the study and making of U.S. foreign policy by creating the next generation of scholar-practitioners. The program offers its fellows the unique chance to experience a new field and gain a different perspective at a pivotal moment in their careers. Academics are thus placed in public service and policy-oriented settings, while government officials are placed in scholarly settings. 

The IAF Program is only open to mid-career professionals who have a demonstrated commitment to a career in foreign policy. The program welcomes applicants from a broad range of professional, academic, and personal backgrounds. Although a PhD is not a requirement, selected fellows generally hold an advanced degree and possess a strong record of work experience as well as a firm grounding in the field of foreign policy. The program does not fund pre- or postdoctoral research, work toward a degree, or the completion of projects on which substantial progress has been made prior to the fellowship period. Qualified candidates must be U.S. citizens.  The duration of the fellowship is twelve months, preferably beginning in September.

The Psychological Health/Traumatic Brain Injury Research Program (PH/TBIRP) mission is to establish, fund, and integrate both individual and multi-agency research efforts that will lead to improved prevention, detection, and treatment of PH issues and TBI. The vision of the PH/TBIRP is to prevent, mitigate, and treat the effects of traumatic stress and TBI on function, wellness, and overall quality of life for Service members as well as their caregivers and families. The Joint Program Committee-6/Combat Casualty Care Research Program (JPC-6/CCCRP) Neurotrauma Portfolio's mission is focused on closing military-relevant gaps across a broad range of research areas to improve the prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment of TBI and related sequelae from point of injury through recovery. The goal is to decrease morbidity and mortality from neurotrauma, mitigate secondary brain injury across all TBI severities and all roles of care, advance materiel and knowledge development, and expand and develop clinical guidelines, care algorithms, therapies, devices, and procedures that advance the decision-making capabilities of medical personnel, enabling earlier intervention and improved outcomes.

The JPC-6/CCCRP has identified the following Topics of Interest for funding under the FY19 Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR) Analysis Award. Applicants are not restricted to this list and may propose other retrospective studies of FITBIR data that align to the intent of the mechanism. However, funding for the FITBIR Analysis award will only support studies that utilize existing FITBIR data. The FY19 FITBIR Analysis Award Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Identification of unique clinical outcomes for civilians and Service members
  • Utilization of FITBIR data to inform clinical practice guidelines for TBI
  • Examination of treatment responders vs. non-responders to better understand the profiles of injury
  • Analysis of how TBI outcomes relate to quality of life, employment, and other psychosocial measures
  • Correlation of injury severity and response to treatment in patients with varying TBI severities (mild, moderate, severe)
  • Exploration of chronic (more than one year post injury) patient characteristics (e.g., psychiatric symptoms, sleep disturbance, cognitive deficits) that suggest particular treatment approaches
  • Definition and analysis of outcomes related to post-concussion syndrome, from weeks, months, or years after injury
  • Determine the best classification parameters for initial injury based on evolving clusters of symptoms or sequelae
  • Correlation of the time between injury and initial treatment with long-term outcomes
  • Correlation of TBI assessment/diagnostic devices with diagnosis and outcomes
  • Analysis of the exacerbation or regression of specific sequelae or symptoms at intermediate and long-term time points
  • Identification of signs and symptoms of neurodegenerative disease during follow-up
  • Generation of data on signs of neurodegenerative disorders that appear during follow-up and  how these signs may affect long-term outcome
  • Exploration of the relationship between intensity of emergency, critical, and acute care to long-term disability

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks projects that ensure online public discovery and use of historical records collections. The Commission is especially interested in collections of America's early legal records, such as the records of colonial, territorial, county, and early statehood and tribal proceedings that document the evolution of the nation's legal history. All types of historical records are eligible, including documents, photographs, born-digital records, and analog audio and moving images. Projects may preserve and process historical records to:
  • Create new online Finding Aids to collections
  • Digitize historical records collections and make them freely available online
The NHPRC encourages organizations to actively engage the public in the work of the project.

Award Amount: $50,000 - $150,000; the Commission provides no more than 50 percent of the total project costs/cost sharing is required 

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks projects that encourage public engagement with historical records, including the development of new tools that enable people to engage online. The NHPRC is looking for projects that create models and technologies that other institutions can freely adopt. In general, collaborations between archivists, documentary editors, historians, educators, and/or community-based individuals are more likely to create a competitive proposal. Projects that focus on innovative methods to introduce primary source materials and how to use them in multiple locations also are more likely to create a competitive proposal. Projects might create and develop programs to engage people in the study and use of historical records for institutional, educational or personal reasons. For example, an applicant can:
  • Enlist volunteer "citizen archivists" in projects to accelerate access to historical records, especially those online. This may include, but is not limited to, efforts to identify, tag, transcribe, annotate, or otherwise enhance digitized historical records.
  • Develop educational programs for K-12 students, undergraduate classes, or community members that encourage them to engage with historical records already in repositories or that are collected as part of the project.
  • Collect primary source material from people through public gatherings and sponsor discussions or websites about the results.
  • Use historical records in artistic endeavors. This could include K-12 students, undergraduate classes, or community members. Examples include projects that encourage researching and writing life stories for performance; using record facsimiles in painting, sculpture, or audiovisual collages; or using text as lyrics for music or as music.
  • Develop technologies that encourage the sharing of information about historical records.

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to publish documentary editions of historical records. Projects may focus on broad historical movements in U.S. history, such as politics, law (including the social and cultural history of the law), social reform, business, military, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience, or may be centered on the papers of major figures from American history. Whether conceived as a thematic or a biographical edition, the historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project. All new projects (those which have never received NHPRC funding) must have definitive plans for publishing and preserving a digital edition which provides online access to a searchable collection of documents. New projects may also prepare print editions (including ebooks and searchable PDFs posted online) as part of their overall publishing plan, but the contents of those volumes must be published in a fully-searchable digital edition within a reasonable period of time following print publication. The NHPRC encourages projects to provide free access to online editions. Projects that do not have definitive plans for digital dissemination and preservation in place at the time of application will not be considered.

This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) is intended to highlight for the research community that NSF, as a primary federal funder of basic science and engineering research in the United States, continues to welcome and support competitive, peer-reviewed research that advances fundamental knowledge about the nature and underlying dynamics of sexual and other forms of harassment, and mechanisms for evaluating harassment prevalence, prevention, and responses, in a range of STEM education, research, and workplace settings. A number of programs across the Foundation may be appropriate for proposals that have clear, theoretically-driven research orientations and advance generalizable knowledge about sexual or other forms of harassment in STEM contexts. Examples of potential research foci include: the nature and dynamics of harassment, including underlying social and behavioral processes; mechanisms for assessing and evaluating harassment prevalence, prevention, and responses across a range of organizational levels; and harassment dynamics with respect to ethics, diversity, and inclusivity in science. Additionally, NSF programs in any research area may elect to support basic research or conferences about sexual or other forms of harassment in a specific research field, group, or context. Proposals involving international collaboration, in which NSF supports the U.S. component of the collaborative activities, may also be considered.

To determine whether a research idea is within the scope of this DCL and appropriate for a particular program, prospective principal investigators are strongly encouraged to contact, prior to submitting proposals, the directorate/office Liaison(s) for Harassment Research  most closely aligned with the research activities to be proposed.
