The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Research Cooperation. The MOU provides an overarching framework to encourage collaboration between U.S. and French research communities and sets out the principles by which jointly supported activities might be developed. The MOU is a lead agency opportunity whereby collaborative proposals between U.S. and French researchers are submitted to only the lead agency for review, and the partner agency accepts that review. Based on the lead agency review of collaborative proposals, NSF and ANR will jointly fund meritorious collaborative projects. The lead agency opportunity allows for reciprocal acceptance of merit review through unsolicited mechanisms with the goal of reducing some of the current barriers to international collaborations.
Proposals relevant to the following area and agency programs are eligible for submission under this lead agency opportunity in FY 2024.
Sustainable Chemistry: Catalysis with Earth-Abundant Elements
Among current sustainability challenges, the development of more sustainable catalysts or catalytic processes needs to be addressed to unlock the potential of many innovations. In this context, ANR and NSF aim to strengthen the research on catalysis with earth abundant elements by fostering collaborations and synergies between research teams in France and in the US.
To this end, the scope of this call for proposals is fundamental research in homogeneous catalysis with Earth-abundant elements. It will include organometallic catalysis, organocatalysis, and photocatalysis. The focus of the proposals should be on advances related to the development of new catalysts and catalytic strategies, mechanistic studies, and characterization methods. Electrocatalytic reactions are out of scope and excluded from this call.
Sample Research topics:
- Design, synthesis, and study of new organometallic catalysts using earth abundant metals, organocatalytic systems, and photocatalytic systems.
- Development of new reaction methods and processes including catalyst recycling and new routes to valorize waste materials.
- Mechanistic studies of catalytic processes including characterization of intermediates, particularly with advanced spectroscopic techniques.
- Proposals that include elements of computational modeling or the development or deployment of new analytical methods by at least one of the collaborating partners are encouraged.

Through its focus on Climate Action, the Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge also aims to recognize the pivotal role women play in combating climate change. UN Women reports that globally, one fourth of all economically active women are engaged in agriculture, where they must contend with climate consequences such as crop failure, and also have the disproportionate responsibilities for collecting increasingly scarce water and fuel. Projects submitted to the Challenge must therefore take into consideration gender components such as addressing the role of women in adapting to climate shifts and participating in policymaking and leadership roles.
Proposals need to have all the criteria described below, namely have a strong green & sustainable chemistry component, using a novel approach for a solution to an urgent problem, be applicable in and suitable for low- and middle-income countries, replicable, scalable, sustainable and, have an impactful gender component.
Projects will be reviewed according to the criteria below:
- The proposal clearly describes the urgency of the problem.
- The project utilizes innovative green and sustainable chemistry and chemical sciences approach, for example: o CO2 reduction and utilization, cleaner production, energy conversion and storage Reduces or eliminates the use or generation of one or more hazardous substances or materials; More sustainable use of resources and cleaner low energy production; o Increase reuse or recyclability of chemicals/product; Designs a new business model related to the circular economy.
- The project is replicable, scalable, sustainable (make sure to specify why), and sets a benchmark for innovation – new ideas or concepts in development will be given preference over more advanced projects.
- The proposal highlights the novelty of your approach and gives a short literature overview of what has been done before, both by you and others (“background”).
- The project is applicable in and suitable for developing countries. Describe the project’s social impact on local communities, including gender equality either in design or implementation.
- The project must have an impactful gender component, and if relevant describing the sex/gender dimensions of the research.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) mission is to work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The International Affairs Program delivers this mission through its financial assistance programs by supporting strategic projects that deliver measurable conservation results for priority species and their habitats around the world. African elephant (Genus: Loxodonta) numbers in the wild have fallen from as many as 26 million individuals at the end of the 18th century to an estimated 415,000 today, due to poaching for ivory, habitat loss, and human-elephant conflict.
In 1988, the U.S. Congress passed the African Elephant Conservation Act in response to the alarming decline of African elephant populations. The Act provides for the establishment of the African Elephant Conservation Fund to provide financial assistance in support of projects that will enhance sustainable conservation programs to ensure effective, long-term conservation of African elephants. In 2021, the African elephant was re-classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) African Elephant Specialist Group (AfESG) as two separate species, with the African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) now listed as “Critically Endangered” and the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) listed as “Endangered” under the IUCN’s 2020 African elephant Red List Assessment.
The Service works closely with national governments, U.S. agencies, and a range of other partners to ensure a strategic, results-based approach to conservation of both elephant species across Africa’s 37 elephant range states. The goal of the Service’s African Elephant Conservation Fund Program is to ensure healthy African elephant populations in the wild, while improving pathways for human-elephant coexistence. We achieve this through stewardship of a three-decade-old financial assistance program, convening and connecting partners, informing conservation decision making with technical expertise and data, and cultivating long-term partnerships and relationships with field projects and other key stakeholders across African elephant range states.

The Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) encourages the U.S. research community to submit innovative proposals for fundamental research to better understand GreenHouse Gas mixing/exchange, transport, and fate throughout the atmosphere in the Planetary Boundary Layer and Above (GHG-PBLA).
It is a general consensus, both nationally and internationally, that a better and more accurate measuring, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV) program is needed to quantify emissions and removal of GHGs from the atmosphere across all geographic regions and all sectors of the economy, to mitigate climate change in a meaningful way. In furtherance of this objective, NSF will support fundamental research needed to provide science-based knowledge, requirements, and technologies for policy and decision makers.
In November 2022, the Cooperative Programs for Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS) at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) held a community workshop on this topic. The workshop report identified gaps in current technologies, modeling, and measurements of GHGs, particularly in the atmospheric boundary layer. Gaps in measurement techniques and modeling prevent reliable estimates of GHG mixing/exchange, transport, and atmospheric fate. Two specific knowledge gaps were discussed in the workshop report: 1) sub-mesoscale processes, including turbulent eddies and atmospheric chemistry; 2) the "scale-up" of how smaller scale processes translate to mesoscale, large-scale, and global scale mixing and transport processes of GHGs in the atmosphere.
NSF-AGS is inviting proposals from the U.S. research community in the following priority areas:
- Atmospheric modeling for improved understanding of GHG distribution processes to provide reliable GHG estimates and minimizing of concentration uncertainties.
- Measurement opportunities for improved understanding of planetary boundary layer (PBL) processes and reduction of GHG source attribution uncertainties.
- Modeling and parameterization to bridge the scale gaps and to better depict GHG transport and fate.
- Protocols for robust inter-comparison and assessment of the modeling of PBL processes and GHG exchanges between Earth's surface and its atmosphere.
Depending on the proposal focus, research topic, and scale of the science problem, proposals may be submitted to any AGS Atmosphere Section core program, which includes Physical and Dynamic Meteorology (1525), Atmospheric Chemistry (1524), Climate and Large-scale Dynamics (5740), and Paleoclimate (1530). To determine a proposal's programmatic fit, reference the relevant AGS program description on the NSF website and/or contact the cognizant program director.

Partnership for Forests promotes partnerships among governments, civil society, and private enterprises to address deforestation and improve livelihoods by investing in forests and sustainable land use in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. The program provides a combination of grants and technical assistance to help selected partnerships move towards commercial scale-up.
Forest Partnerships' main focus is on incubating projects that can catalyze private-sector investment in sustainable land-use. They are looking to help selected partnerships move through the stages required to get to market – from idea development to business planning, to deal negotiation and piloting, and finally to commercial scale-up. We are therefore looking for proposals from partners, or prospective partners, that not only provide details of their project but also explain the specific support they need in order to progress to the next step towards scale-up.
Forest Partnerships will support partnerships at different levels of maturity, from those that are only ideas through to projects that have already been piloted and are looking to scale up. However, all partnerships should have the potential to deliver impact at scale, either through their own operations or replication elsewhere.
Examples for an early-stage partnership
- Technical assistance for early-stage partnerships could include advising on the business case, improving the financial model, supporting organizational design, providing access to data on commodities and identifying and mitigating risks.
- Grants for early-stage partnerships could include support for setting up organizations and capacity building, introducing high standards for community consultation or social and environmental impact assessments, and external advisors to facilitate deals between partners.
Examples for a later-stage partnership
- Technical assistance for later-stage partnerships could include advising on strategy, developing the business case for commercial scale-up and making introductions to potential investors.
- Grants for partnerships that have already piloted could include grants for expert advice and problem-solving teams in order to achieve commercial scale-up, identifying new locations for growth, new monitoring and reporting tools, and new approaches to the management of social and environmental impact.

The FORSATY Research for Adaptation and Learning (REAL) will support stakeholders – GOM, USAID, partners, civil society – in addressing challenges to measuring the impacts of interventions on countering violent extremism (CVE), youth and community outcomes. REAL will seek to not only support testing and measurement of program outcomes, but also contribute to the development of innovative measurements of VE risk probability and impact.
The REAL program will work hand in hand with the FORSATY (USAID/Morocco’s follow on CVE program) implementing partner. Ultimately, by building partnerships and approaches to better test, measure, adapt and learn from youth and CVE programs, REAL will contribute to stronger interventions, programs and policies.
The purpose of REAL is to strengthen the evidence base to effectively measure and assess the impact of youth and countering violent extremism programs and interventions in Morocco. By strengthening local monitoring and data systems and by supporting robust research, evaluation and learning methodologies, the program will provide valuable insights and data-driven evidence to improve program design, implementation, and decision-making.
REAL has three objectives jointly contributing to the achievement of the program goal:
- Establish, in partnership with USAID, GOM, and FORSATY partners, a youth longitudinal study that enables stakeholders to better understand the role that youth and CVE programs and strategies played in furthering youth wellbeing and decreasing vulnerability to violent extremism.
- Strengthen the capacity of key Moroccan institutions, USAID, and partners (with a focus on FORSATY partners) to improve measurement, evaluation, and evidence-based adaptations of youth and countering violent extremism programming.
- Promote effective youth and countering violent extremism interventions, and knowledge sharing through a collaborative learning network, within and beyond Morocco.

The contemporary research landscape is a collaborative and international enterprise requiring high level coordination among multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural teams. As such, the Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations program (AccelNet) values cooperation over competition.
Program goals are to:
- leverage prior NSF support for building research capacity towards activities that launch international research network of networks (NoN) that will lead to an accelerated advancement of an area of science after the award period and
- recruit and foster a diverse and internationally competent US-based workforce trained in conducting and leading multi-team international collaboration.
Any area funded by the National Science Foundation is eligible, particularly those addressing grand research challenges identified within research communities and/or by NSF.
Successful proposals will demonstrate that the proposed activities will: 1) accelerate scientific research at a rate that would not be possible without concerted international cooperation in research planning; 2) make NoN members more competitive for research awards following the period of award; 3) recruit and foster a US-based diverse and internationally competent workforce trained in conducting and leading multi-team international collaboration. Proposals must include detailed plans for collaborative networking activities that will result in a synergy of effort across the entire NoN.
The AccelNet Program has two tracks. The Design Track allows PIs to build on prior NSF research awards by providing time and resources for building capacity across teams to launch a synergistic international NoN. The Implementation Track allows PIs to build on prior research or networking awards, such as AccelNet Design or Research Coordination Networks (RCN) by providing time and resources to implement an international NoN. There are two phases to the Implementation Track.
Phase 1 funding is for activities related exclusively to NoN activities and is open to all PIs, including but not limited to prior successful Design Track PIs. Phase 2 funding is for early concept research arising from Phase 1 activities and is only open to Phase 1 PIs who have identified a critical research gap during synergistic networking activities in the first 18-24 months of Phase 1 awards.

The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation New Professorships in Buddhist Studies offer multi-year grants to colleges and universities wishing to establish or expand teaching in Buddhist Studies.
- The proposed position should be a new position. If the proposed position is a replacement for a retirement or otherwise vacated position where Buddhist Studies at the institution would be significantly affected without award funds, the proposal should make that case and note why the previous position could not be filled.
- The establishment of the position must contribute significantly to the institution. This means establishing a curriculum in Buddhist Studies where none has existed or where such a curriculum was in clear and urgent need of additional support.
- Award funds should be used only for the new professor’s salary, benefits, and research expenses. The funds may not be used for university overhead or any indirect/administrative costs or office expenses.
- Institutions must commit to maintaining the seeded position as a permanent, tenure-track post after the expiration of The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Global’s funding. At institutions without a tenure-track system, the applicant institution must commit to continuing the position for a substantial period after the expiration of this grant’s funding.
- The heart of the application is a statement outlining the proposed position—its responsibilities, departmental location, rank, and fit with the institution’s mission and curricular plans, and the qualifications sought in potential appointees. The statement should describe the process of identifying the appointee.

Established in 1967, the International Affairs Fellowship (IAF) is the hallmark fellowship program of the Council on Foreign Relations (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.
Over the years, the IAF program has produced approximately six hundred alumni who span the who’s who of the U.S. foreign policy community, including a former secretary and several undersecretaries of state, U.S. ambassadors to NATO and the United Nations, and many other influential leaders in government, academia, and the private sector.
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.
