The National Science Foundation’s Organismic Response to Climate Change program’s goal is to invite mechanistic studies of organismal response to climate change as a foundation that, when integrated with research at other levels of organization, will lead to a deeper understanding and better predictions of the integrity, the resilience, and the adaptation of biological systems to climate change.
The National Science Foundation’s Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace program welcomes proposals that address cybersecurity and privacy, and that draw on expertise in one or more of these areas: computing, communication, and information sciences; engineering; education; mathematics; statistics; and social, behavioral, and economic sciences.

|
|
Noon-1 p.m.
Thursday, Oct. 28
Federal regulations have been tightening around potential conflicts of interest and the access of foreign governments to U.S.-sponsored research. This session will highlight sensitive issues around reporting conflict of interest and plans to update the annual reporting process. It will also cover the topic of participation in foreign government talent recruitment programs and the potential ramifications of such participation.
Please register to attend by 10 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28 using your K-State email address.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Please add this information to your calendar.

Information and Intelligent Systems Office Hours |
|
Noon-1 p.m,
Thursday, Oct. 28
The Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, or IIS, office hours are for researchers interested in learning about programs and policies in IIS in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate at the National Science Foundation. Office Hours are designed to give current and potential investigators a window into IIS. Each session will feature a topic of interest to a diverse group of researchers. Attendance at office hours is voluntary and designed to help investigators gain information that can help them strengthen their proposals. Short summaries will be posted after each session. Sessions will be closed-captioned.
Please note that the office hours are designed to answer questions for a broad range of researchers and not inquiries about specific proposals.

Spaceflight for Everybody Virtual Symposium |
|
November 8-10
The purpose of the Spaceflight for Everybody Symposium is to communicate the current state of NASA spaceflight health knowledge. Speakers will highlight NASA’s operational medicine and biomedical research findings that are establishing how the human body adapts to the space environment during space missions. Additionally, other health and medical topics will be discussed including future goals for spaceflight participation for other nontraditional able-bodied people. Discussion will include how to expand commercial spaceflight activities and opportunities. The end goal of the symposium is a better awareness of how NASA protects the health of all astronauts and the agency’s plans to do so in the future.
Panelists seek to:
- Educate and excite the public about future possibilities in human spaceflight
- Demonstrate how precision health and other innovations expand spaceflight opportunities to a more diverse group of space explorers
- Identify spaceflight health challenges and how we mitigate and counter them
- Demonstrate how NASA’s partnerships with commercial space providers are enabling increased access to space
- Highlight efforts to broaden exploration opportunities from the ground up – through
- leadership, engineering, science, participants, etc.
The symposium will take place virtually, and NASA will provide a live stream including an ASL translator. Scientists, researchers, healthcare workers, especially those interested in space medicine, and other interested parties who would like to be able to contribute to the virtual chat can register to join the WebEx connection for each day.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been much uncertainty about how long immunity lasts after an unvaccinated person is infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Now, U.S. National Science Foundation-funded scientists at the Yale School of Public Health and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have an answer: Strong protection following natural infection is short-lived. nsf.gov
Despite 30 years of climate diplomacy, urgent and aggressive action is needed to halt global warming. Nature explains what success looks like, and what’s on the line. nature.com
The pandemic led to a surge in COVID-19 research, but it severely disrupted other fields—shuttering labs, restricting travel, and leaving scientists with young children struggling to work without adequate child care. A flurry of studies indicates the productivity of women scientists slowed during the pandemic to a greater extent than their male colleagues. Now, a survey of a large swath of the scientific community reveals those impacts may be felt for years to come because many investigators—especially women and those with young children—were unable to start new research projects in 2020. science.org
The National Institutes of Health is investing about $74.5 million over five years to advance data science, catalyze innovation and spur health discoveries across Africa. Under its new Harnessing Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa program, the NIH is issuing 19 awards to support research and training activities. DS-I Africa is an NIH Common Fund program that is supported by the Office of the Director and 11 NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices. nih.gov
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has released a National Intelligence Estimate on climate change. dni.gov
