Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) embodies an important forward-looking response by the Foundation to these profound challenges. NNA seeks innovations in fundamental convergence research across the social, natural, environmental, computing and information sciences, and engineering that address the interactions or connections among natural and built environments and social systems, and how these connections inform our understanding of Arctic change and its local and global effects.
This solicitation requests proposals that fall within one of three tracks:
- NNA Incubator Grants, dedicated to developing convergent teams to carry out research projects of larger scope in the future;
- NNA Research Grants, aimed to support creative projects on fundamental research that address convergent scientific and engineering challenges related to the rapidly changing Arctic; and
- NNA Collaboratory Grants, designed to support collaborative teams undertaking research and training initiatives addressing grand challenges related to the rapidly changing New Arctic.
NSF encourages NNA proposals that include international components.
|

Award size varies with proposal type-
**Incubator: up to $300,000; duration of 24 months
**Research: up to $3,000,000; duration of 5 years
**Collaboratory: no budget restrictions; duration of 5 years.
Deadline: February 8, 2023

The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to alert the community about this opportunity and disseminate knowledge and information on a program designed to foster the expansion of U.S.-Finland biomedical and behavioral research collaboration.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Academy of Finland (AKA), Finland are establishing the AKA-NIH Partnership Program. The AKA-NIH Partnership Program seeks to encourage increased collaborative research between investigators in the U.S. and Finland. This is to be facilitated through the submission of grant applications from U.S. institutions that include collaboration with Finnish investigators selected by AKA to participate in the joint research program. NIH will support the project through regular investigator-initiated NIH application processes and review.
AKA will fully fund Finnish investigators on collaborative grant applications that are selected for funding by participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) while NIH will fund the U.S. component. Research areas AKA may support through this program are described in AKA’s Finnish Research Flagships and need to align with research areas that fall clearly within the missions of participating NIH ICs.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) participating Institutes and Centers (ICs), in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD), invite applications for implementation research focused on addressing risk factors for common noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in World Bank-defined low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations in the United States (US). Air, water, and soil pollution; lack of greenspace; urban heat islands; lack of safe infrastructure for walking, cycling, and active living; lack of access to healthcare facilities, lack of health insurance, and cost of medications; housing condition; and wide availability of tobacco, alcohol, and unhealthy foods and beverages contribute to the NCD epidemic in city environments.
In the context of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), "cities" include urban centers, informal settlements, slums, and periurban areas. This FOA supports applications that propose implementation research to reduce the risks of NCDs in the context of cities in LMICs and/or among AI/AN populations in US cities, with the potential to equip policymakers and practitioners with evidence-based strategies for prevention and/or management of NCDs among disadvantaged populations globally. NIH defines implementation research as the scientific study of the use of strategies to adopt and integrate evidence-based health interventions into clinical and community settings to improve individual outcomes and benefit population health.
All applications must be within the scope of the mission of one of the Institutes/Centers listed above (see "Components of Participating Organizations," excluding the Fogarty International Center which manages this program but does not support awards). Applications will be accepted from US and World Bank-defined LMIC institutions only.

This FOA uses the bi-phasic, milestone driven R61/R33 grant mechanism. Awards made under this FOA will initially support a one-year milestone-driven initiation (R61) phase, with possible transition to an implementation (R33) phase of up to four additional years. Only projects that meet the scientific milestones and award requirements of the R61 phase may transition to the R33 phase. Applications submitted in response to this FOA must address both the R61 and R33 phases.
All applications must be within the scope of the mission of one of the Institutes/Centers listed above (see "Components of Participating Organizations," excluding the Fogarty International Center which manages this program but does not support awards). Applications will be accepted from US and World Bank-defined LMIC institutions only.

The IMMANA Fellowships aim to create a cadre of emerging leaders in agriculture, nutrition and health research. In each annual round, IMMANA will award six 12-month post-doctoral Fellowships to emerging leaders who are applying and/or validating new methodological approaches with mentors in ongoing research programmes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Fellows conduct their research in Africa or Asia under the joint supervision of two mentors, one from the applicant’s current or previous employer or academic institution, and one from a host institution where the applicant proposes to advance their work.
Successful applications will build on the candidate’s previous research, proposing a 12-month workplan on any aspect of the use or validation of new methods, mechanisms and metrics to guide improvements in agriculture and food systems for nutrition and health. Proposals will specify the existing data and methods they will bring to the project, and a realistic timeline for new data collection (if any), analysis and writing needed to complete new scientific manuscripts. Applications will be ranked based on realistic potential for submission of high-impact publications to specified target journals or other scientific outlets within the Fellowship year.
Eligible candidates may come from any country or background, with an earned doctorate in fields related to agriculture, nutrition or health (PhD, DPhil, DPH, MD, DVM or similar degree), and be building a career in research, education, and engagement at the intersection of two or more of these fields.
