This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is being issued by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) on behalf of the Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), the Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO), as well as the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).
The goals of this FOA are to:
- Improve the reliability of moorings for floating offshore wind energy and marine energy converters; and
- Reduce noise associated with installing fixed-bottom offshore wind energy foundations.
These goals align with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) priorities in advancing clean energy applications and energy savings; the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI)’s priorities of accelerating responsible development of renewable energy; and the national goals to deploy 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 20301 and 15 GW of floating offshore wind by 20352 while advancing environmental justice, protecting biodiversity, supporting the creation of good-paying jobs, and promoting ocean co-use.
The research, development and demonstration (RD&D) activities to be funded under this FOA will support the government-wide approach to the climate crisis by driving the innovation that can lead to the deployment of clean energy technologies, which are critical for climate protection. Specifically, this FOA will further reduce risk and improve environmental compatibility of U.S. offshore wind energy and marine energy deployments. It will do this through research into the integrity and monitoring of mooring lines for floating offshore wind energy systems and marine energy converters, as well as reducing noise generation and propagation during the installation of fixed-bottom offshore wind foundations.

The desired outcomes of this project are:
- develop a comprehensive framework to maximize the effectiveness of water utilities’ limited resources and ratepayer funds, ensure the long-term sustainability of water services, and promote climate-resilient, multi-beneficial solutions;
- advance quantitative approaches to promoting climate-resilient infrastructure and approaches in concert with competing utility objectives; and
- enhance utilities’ ability to communicate with and engage stakeholders about climate adaptation investments and approaches.
Climate adaptation/resilience is one challenge within a complicated web of regulatory compliance, environmental stewardship, affordability, and asset management challenges facing water utilities today.
The decision-support tool should integrate key climate factors, as well as consider other adjacent factors:
- Climate projections and their inherent uncertainty
- Asset management, identification of vulnerability hotspots, and sensitivity of assets to climate change impacts
- Risk mitigation priorities
- Climate resilience/level of service goals
- Adaptive management approaches and opportunities to distribute risk mitigation investments over time based on climate change outcomes
- Thorough consideration of costs and benefits, including operations and maintenance costs, direct and indirect benefits (e.g., social costs and benefits, such as reduced public health costs, reduced insurance premiums), and avoided future costs under different climate scenarios.

This project is funded by The Water Research Foundation (WRF) as part of WRF’s Research Priority Program. Many water and wastewater utilities want to embed GHG mitigation into their capital planning processes. This is particularly impactful when done at a very early stage while asking questions like, “What unit treatment process should we choose?” and “What is the best use of our biogas if related GHG emissions are also considered?” A “GHG Emissions Library” would help utilities, practitioners and designers include GHG emissions in decision-making. In addition, there is a need for better GHG emission estimates at the level of unit treatment processes for existing and proposed facilities. This will enhance the understanding of GHG emissions for common unit processes as “building blocks” to assess the impact of changing processes/operations.
Project Objectives
- Develop a standardized approach for the water sector to determine baseline greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to common unit processes and evaluate the impact of process/operational changes to their systems
- Establish a “GHG Emissions Library” with a basic framework in place that allows future updates as GHG emissions data from unit processes become more available.
The research team will conduct an online survey and virtually interview selected utilities, focusing on the perspective of utilities in North America with the aim of building from publicly available data and synthesizing the latest real-world practices on unit processes across diverse geographic regions. The research team will connect national organizations (e.g., Water Environment Federation, American Water Works Association, US Water Alliance, International Water Association, and others as needed) and their respective networks to advance the exchange of best available information to date regarding the current practices. In addition, the team will collaborate with participating utilities and perform one additional study (e.g., field monitoring) for selected unit processes that would be required to validate the estimation of GHG emissions for a given process to supplement the desktop analysis. This will provide some first-hand experience in terms of data generation, quality assurance/control process, and subsequent inclusion into the database/library of data.
The team will develop an expandable database of information that can be updated in the future, including full referencing of all source data and assumptions. The team is expected to conduct multiple updates to add in processes throughout the project duration (approximately two years) and one additional year after project completion to ensure incorporation of users’ feedback from the first year after launch. The supporting database must be meticulously referenced so that users can clearly access the setup, methodologies, and/or estimates/calculations. This could be achieved by developing a user guide for the database. Given the current state-of-the-practice, this first version of the supporting database intends to cover basic available data while allowing for straightforward future updates as GHG emission data from unit processes becomes more available.

The overarching purpose of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) is to address regional and national needs for ocean information, to gather reliable data on key coastal, ocean, and Great Lakes variables, and to ensure timely and sustained dissemination and availability of these data. IOOS is a national, regional and private-sector partnership working to enhance the nation’s ability to collect, disseminate, and use ocean information.
IOOS is designed to address regional and national needs for ocean information, to gather specific data on key coastal, ocean, and Great Lakes variables, and to ensure timely and sustained dissemination and availability of these data to support national defense, marine commerce, navigation safety, weather, climate, and marine forecasting, energy siting and production, economic development, ecosystem-based marine, coastal, and Great Lakes resource management, public safety, and public outreach training and education.
The IOOS Coastal and Ocean Modeling Testbed (COMT) is an ongoing, multi-year effort to transition prototype ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes models, modeling tools and techniques, products, and data management advances to operations using a process that includes stakeholder engagement from industry, government, academia, and others invested in the modeling and prediction of the nation’s ocean and coastal regions. IOOS, along with the other seven program offices within the National Ocean Service (NOS), has recently published a NOS Modeling Strategy that describes a holistic, interdisciplinary, and community built modeling portfolio to deliver the applications and services needed to reduce risks to life and property, enhance the economy, and promote social well-being in concert with our ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes environments.
The COMT program aims to bring this vision to fruition through co-development of operational models. Operational mode is defined as the actual application of the technology in its final form and under mission requirements. Within this context, the U.S. IOOS Program is managing a competitive research and development project in which the IOOS Program funds advanced ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes modeling, prediction innovation projects designed to enable evaluation and transition of these models, modeling tools and techniques to operations mode.

The Wellcome Trust’s mental health strategic aim is to drive a transformative change in our ability to intervene as early as possible in the course of anxiety, depression and psychosis, in ways that reflect the priorities and needs of people who experience these problems. This call will fund research that advances scientific understanding of the causal mechanisms through which brain, body and environment interact over time in the development, persistence and resolution of anxiety- and trauma-related disorders.
This award will fund researchers to investigate the causal mechanisms through which brain, body and environment interact over time in the development, persistence and resolution of anxiety- and trauma-related disorders. Knowing more about these mechanisms will help us find better ways to identify these problems and intervene at an early stage.
Existing evidence suggests that many factors contribute to the development, persistence and resolution of anxiety-related problems. For example:
- Genetics
- Childhood maltreatment
- Traumatic life experiences
- Poverty
- Negative social experiences such as bullying
- Environmental exposures such as air pollution.
- However, we know much less about the biological, psychological and social causal mechanisms underpinning how and why these factors influence the trajectory of these problems over time. With this funding opportunity, we want to move beyond correlational evidence to a deeper consideration of the causal mechanisms underpinning anxiety-related problems. This mechanistic understanding will help us develop new and improved ways to predict, identify and intervene as early as possible.
A focus on anxiety-related problems is needed because:
- anxiety is the mental health condition that affects the greatest number of people worldwide, with an estimated 301 million people living with an anxiety-related problem.
- anxiety has the earliest onset of all mental health disorders on average, emerging earlier than other disorders such as depression or schizophrenia.
- anxiety can both precede and coexist with other diagnoses such as depression and psychosis. In addition to the severe impact it can have on people’s lives on its own, it might also be a target to prevent the development of additional mental health problems.
- the neurobiology of anxiety-related problems is relatively well understood, both in humans and in animal models, meaning that the field is well placed to make new, interdisciplinary and cross-species links to enhance our understanding of causality.
Despite all this, anxiety-related problems remain under-researched and underfunded relative to other mental health problems. By improving our understanding of these problems, we will gain knowledge that can be used for translational purposes. This will help us find better ways to identify problems early on and to intervene at the most critical and earliest possible points (for example, through new therapeutic targets, new markers and new and improved early interventions).

Develop Innovative Research Through International Collaboration
Through the Distinguished International Scientist Collaboration Program, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) seeks to enhance international collaborative research on drug abuse and drug-related consequences. Through the competitive Distinguished International Scientist Collaboration Awards (DISCA) and the Distinguished International Scientist Collaboration Awards for U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents (USDISCA) senior researchers from other countries and NIDA-funded senior researchers apply to work together in the most suitable locale for their joint research.
The Program allows participants to choose the travel option that works best for their research. If the project would best be conducted outside the United States, NIDA grantees should apply for a USDISCA award to visit their partner's home country. If the project would best be conducted in the United States, international drug abuse researchers should apply for a DISCA award to visit their U.S. partners.
Successful candidates will be highly qualified researchers, and priority will be given to new collaborations. Applicants must propose an innovative collaboration that can produce outcomes—such as a new investigative finding, scientific publication, or research grant proposal—and that falls within the NIDA research mission.

In 2012, the BSF signed an umbrella Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), for cooperation in joint funding of collaborative U.S.-Israeli scientific research. Consequently, the BSF signed a series of specific Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Letter of Intent (LOI) with a number of NSF units, for the joint funding of collaborative research programs. Presently, BSF has joint programs with all of the NSF grant making directorates and in each, with all or most divisions.
Financial support for the U.S. scientists in the joint NSF-BSF funding programs comes from the internal resources of the NSF, as part of its regular activity. The NSF does not set aside any money for these collaborations, and they are part of the core programs of the relevant divisions. Financial support for the Israeli scientists in these programs is from annual allocations from the Israeli Committee for Planning and Budgeting (CPB). CPB funds are specifically to support the Israeli researchers in the NSF-BSF programs, and they do not affect the traditional BSF programs.
The following areas of research will be eligible for submission:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Life Sciences
- Medicine
- Psycobiology

This Fellowship, made possible by The Lila Wallace – Reader’s Digest Fund, is designed for scholars who explore “Italy in the World.” Projects should address the transnational dialogues between Italy and other cultures (e.g. Latin American, Mediterranean, African, Asian etc.) during the Renaissance, broadly understood historically to include the period from the 14th to the 17th century. This is a residential fellowship of 4 or 6 months in length. Up to four fellowships will be awarded every year. Fellows must live in the Florence (Italy) area and spend at least three days a week at the center.
The fellowship is named after Bernard Berenson, who in his 1956 statement ‘On the Future of I Tatti’ expressed the hope that not only would scholars come from many countries, but that they would also travel in “what was the ancient Oecumene, not going farther East than the Euphrates and not farther South than Egypt and the great desert of North Africa” and be intimately acquainted with the Mediterranean countries and their “Hinterland.” Taking a broad geographic view of the Renaissance more than half a century ago, Berenson was a pioneer of the geographically expansive approach to the early modern world that this Fellowship wishes to encourage. Scholars working in all the fields supported by I Tatti—architecture and the arts, history, philosophy, literature, music and history of science—are encouraged to apply.
I Tatti offers Fellows the precious time they need to pursue their studies with a minimum of obligations and interruptions together with a maximum of scholarly resources—a combination that distinguishes the Harvard Center from similar institutions. Each year, a limited number of activities organized at I Tatti are reserved for the Fellows, and they are expected to join the wider community at conferences, lectures, and concerts.

Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity are activists, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners who believe inequality can be defeated. The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity (AFSEE), based at the London School of Economics and Political Science, is an innovative fully-funded fellowship that brings together policymakers, activists, practitioners, artists, and researchers from around the world to explore and challenge the root causes of inequality.
Our fellowship programme offers two tracks: Residential and Non-Residential. Participants in both tracks participate in rigorous academic coursework, leadership and skills development, and practical approaches to fostering social change.
Residential Fellows undertake a full-time, one-year MSc in Inequalities and Social Science at LSE, in addition to participating in the bespoke AFSEE Modules. This is why the Residential track is only suitable for people who are able to dedicate themselves to full-time study for a full academic year. Residential Fellows are required to relocate to London for the duration of the MSc programme. For the 2023-24 cohort, Residential Fellows will be expected to be resident in London from September 2023.
The MSc in Inequalities and Social Science is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and wide-ranging programme that draws on expertise from leading academics in LSE departments including Sociology, Social Policy, Media and Communications, Economics, Gender, Government, and Methodology. Its core course provides a strong grounding in the study, measurement and structures of inequalities. Additional elective courses, suited to a broad range of interests, are offered.
Non-Residential Fellows are offered a unique opportunity to investigate inequalities over a period of 12 months via a set of distinct, comprehensive AFSEE Modules, and practice-based project work. Non-Residential Fellows remain based in their home and professional environments, and travel to attend in-person Modules.
Because of the reduced time and location commitment, this fellowship track is ideal for applicants who are unable to take a full year off from their work. However, they will be expected to commit time, at least three hours per week in addition to their Module commitments, for reading, coursework, and project work. Non-Residential Fellows undertake a project that aims to offer a new insight, challenge, or solution to inequalities that are central to Fellows’ future social-change agendas. Carried out through independent study, the project is a substantial piece of written or practical work that allows Fellows to showcase their own approaches and methods for social change and detail how these can be successfully applied.
