NSF CAREER Evaluation Workshop | |
|
The National Science Foundation’s CAREER program awards require recipients to show evidence of research and education excellence. On April 30, 2024 at 3:30 pm the Office of Educational Innovation and Evaluation (OEIE) will be conducting a workshop to show you how to develop an evaluation program to demonstrate this excellence.
During this workshop, OEIE will provide resources to assist CAREER award applicants and recipients in developing evaluation plans and collecting evaluation data. Logic models will serve as the foundation for the discussion about how to 1) determine evaluation activities based on professional goals, 2) consider data collection methods that fit the award timeline, and 3) tailor reporting to demonstrate the overall impact of the work.
If you are interested in attending, please register here.

NEH Summer Stipends Program | |
|
The National Endowment for the Humanities’ (NEH) Summer Stipends program supports continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research. This is a limited submission; thus, if you are interested in submitting to this program you must notify (working title and a short, two to three sentence synopsis of your project) the Office of Research Development by August 2, 2024 via ordlimitedsubs@ksu.edu. If more than two faculty members notify by this date, an internal competition will be held with preproposals due by August 16, 2024.
This program’s anticipated due date to NEH is September 18th , 2024. The new 2024 application should be available on the NEH website by June 18. Typically, NEH hosts a webinar for this program in mid-August which will be announced on the website linked above. This is also the site where you can find the new application when it is available. Again, remember that to apply to this program, you must first go through the internal process outlined above because K-State can only nominate two tenure-track/tenured faculty to apply to this program. However, non-tenure track faculty may apply without nomination and without going through this process, but the Office of Research Development (ord@ksu.edu) would like to know in this case if you will be submitting.

External events and announcements | |
If you have ever wondered about the funding rate at the National Science Foundation (NSF) or awards by geographic area, you should check out NSF’s new website—NSF by the Numbers. It provides this information as well as: yearly trend lines for proposals evaluated, new awards funded, and funded institutions; award information such as award duration, institution, obligation amount and more by fiscal year; the ability to search for an Institution and see summary information about its history of activity with NSF; and information on proposal submissions from underrepresented and underserved applicants and communities. This dashboard tool shows 10 years of data and is updated annually when the fiscal year is complete. | |
NSF’s New Suitability & Proposal Concept Tool | |
|
The National Science Foundation’s Program Suitability & Proposal Concept Tool (ProSPCT) is for prospective Principal Investigators (PIs) to contact the National Science Foundation (NSF) to determine suitability of a project idea prior to submission of a proposal. Log in to ProSPCT via Login.gov then click “Submissions” to get started. Do not use this site for general correspondence with NSF. Questions about proposals or awards should be sent directly to the cognizant Program Officer or Grants and Agreements Officer.
Concept outline submissions made via this form will be routed within NSF for initial review by relevant program staff and made available to other NSF units with expertise germane to the project topic. An assigned cognizant Program Officer will respond to your submission. Please note, concept outlines are not full proposals and need only convey sufficient information for a Program Officer to determine whether submission of a full proposal is warranted. To get help with preparing a concept outline, contact the Office of Research Development via ord@ksu.edu.
For more information about this tool, see: https://suitability.nsf.gov/s/.

Join us on Thursday, April 18th, 12 -1 p.m. for the next IOS Virtual Office Hour where we will discuss how to write a brief description of your research idea (called a 1-pager or concept outline) and talk to a Program Director.
A 1-pager develops your framework for a submission and is used to request feedback from a Program Director about fit to one or more NSF funding opportunities. We will provide details about what to include in a 1-pager so that Program Directors can help you identify recommended program(s) for submission and review of your proposal.
We will also provide information on what to expect when talking to a Program Director about your research ideas and conclude with a Q&A session, where the audience can ask about writing 1-pagers or any general questions.

Call for Nominations for the 2025 Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award
| |
|
Dear Colleagues,
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science invites nominations for the 2025 Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award, one of the longest running and most prestigious science and technology awards given by the U.S. government. The Lawrence Award is presented by the Secretary of Energy to honor mid-career U.S. scientists and engineers for exceptional technical contributions and achievements in research and development supporting DOE’s mission and its programs to advance the national, economic, and energy security of the United States.
Awards will be considered in each of the following nine categories: Atomic, Molecular, and Chemical Sciences; Biological and Environmental Sciences; Computer, Information, and Knowledge Sciences; Condensed Matter and Materials Sciences; Energy Science and Innovation; Fusion and Plasma Sciences; High Energy Physics; National Security and Nonproliferation; and Nuclear Physics.
The deadline to submit a nomination is Thursday, May 9, 2024, 4 p.m. Nominations must include statements summarizing the candidate’s achievements and connection to DOE support, three to six letters of support, a curriculum vitae, and a short bibliography. An independent panel of eminent experts will be convened by DOE to review nominations in each award category and inform award recommendation(s) submitted to the Secretary of Energy. Final award selections are made by the Secretary of Energy. Each Lawrence Award category award winner receives a citation signed by the Secretary, a gold-plated medal bearing the likeness of Ernest O. Lawrence, and a $20,000 honorarium. In the event the award is given to more than one individual within an award category, the recipients share the honorarium equally. To read nomination guidelines and submit a nomination visit Lawrence Award Nomination & Selection Guidelines.
The Lawrence Award was established in 1959 to honor the memory of the late E.O. Lawrence, who won the 1939 Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the cyclotron (a particle accelerator) and after whom two DOE national laboratories, one in Berkeley and the other in Livermore, California, are named. Office of Science Administers the Lawrence Award on behalf of the Department of Energy. DOE encourages nominations of individuals from underrepresented groups and is committed to fostering safe, diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible work, research, and funding environments. Read the Office of Science’s Statement of Commitment for more information.
Please consider nominating a colleague and encouraging nominations by sharing this letter broadly with colleagues and professional networks. Thank you for your help with this important award program.
Questions may be addressed to Kaitlyn (Katie) Schroeder-Spain, Ph.D., Lawrence Award Program Manager, at SCLawrence.Award@science.doe.gov.

AI model has potential to detect risk of childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder
Researchers have adapted an artificial intelligence (AI) program to identify signs of childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) by evaluating short narrative statements of patients who have given birth. The program successfully identified a large proportion of participants likely to have the disorder, and with further refinements—such as details from medical records and birth experience data from diverse populations—the model could potentially identify a large percentage of those at risk.
