Description

The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "Partnerships for Research and Education in Physics". This grant aims to enable and grow partnerships between minority-serving institutions and Division-supported Physics Frontiers Centers or eligible centers and institutes. The goal is to increase the participation of members of traditionally underserved and underrepresented groups in physics through excellent research and education endeavors that advance physics research goals. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the category of funding activity is Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The grant has a total estimated program funding of $4,000,000, with an award ceiling of $900,000. The expected number of awards is 10. The eligible applicants are others, specifically eligible minority-serving colleges or universities not already listed as a key participant in the partnering center or institute. The lead principal investigator must hold a faculty appointment at an eligible minority-serving college or university, and a co-PI must be identified who is a Director of one of the eligible partnering centers or institutes. Additional faculty from the lead institution or from the partnering center or institute may be listed as co-PIs. The grant opportunity is currently open and the closing date for submissions is March 12, 2024. For more information and to submit a proposal, please visit the additional information URL provided.

National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "Plasma Physics". This grant is in the category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The funding instrument type is a grant. The opportunity is discretionary and is open to unrestricted applicants. The close date for this grant is November 18, 2024. The expected number of awards is 25. The grant is focused on proposals in the area of plasma physics. Plasma physics is the study of matter and physical systems that are governed by collective interactions of large ensembles of free charged particles. It is estimated that 99.9% of the visible Universe consists of plasmas. The understanding of plasma physics has applications in various fields such as space physics and astrophysics, materials science, applied mathematics, fusion science, accelerator science, and engineering. The Plasma Physics program supports research in several sub-areas of the discipline, including magnetized plasmas, high energy density plasmas, low temperature plasmas, dusty and strongly coupled plasmas, non-neutral plasmas, and intense field-matter interaction in plasmas. The program aims to generate a fundamental understanding of the physical behavior of plasmas and improve the basic understanding of the plasma state for other areas of science and engineering. Principal Investigators (PIs) are encouraged to include efforts to increase diversity in the plasma physics community and broaden participation of under-represented groups in STEM fields as part of their proposed work. The development of new undergraduate and graduate plasma physics curricula or enhancement of existing curricula is also encouraged. The grant provides an opportunity for researchers to contribute to the field of plasma physics and advance our understanding of plasma behavior.

Partnerships in Astronomy & Astrophysics Research and Education
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "Partnerships in Astronomy & Astrophysics Research and Education". This grant aims to improve the quality and environment of astronomy and astrophysics research and education by fostering long-term partnerships. The partnerships should provide authentic pathways into the research enterprise and broaden participation in astronomy by encouraging proposals from underrepresented groups. The grant seeks to support institutions that are dedicated to creating opportunities for student and faculty research, with the goal of increasing recruitment, retention, and success of individuals from historically underrepresented backgrounds. The partnerships should also aim to build or strengthen research capacity and foster a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment for astronomy and astrophysics research and education. The grant has an estimated total program funding of $1,500,000 and expects to make 5 awards. The deadline for submission is February 18, 2025.

Launching Early-Career Academic Pathways in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (LEAPS-MPS)
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has posted a grant opportunity titled "Launching Early-Career Academic Pathways in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (LEAPS-MPS)". This grant aims to support pre-tenure faculty in Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) fields at institutions that typically do not receive significant amounts of NSF-MPS funding, such as minority-serving institutions (MSIs), predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs), and Carnegie Research 2 (R2) universities. The LEAPS-MPS grant has two main goals: to help launch the careers of MPS principal investigators at the aforementioned institutions and to achieve excellence through diversity by including members from historically excluded and currently underrepresented groups in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences. This includes Blacks and African Americans, Hispanics, Latinos, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native Pacific Islanders. The grants provided through LEAPS-MPS are intended to support MPS principal investigators, particularly at the mentioned institutions, in order to enable them to submit subsequent successful proposals to traditional NSF funding opportunities. These opportunities may include individual investigator programs, CAREER competitions, and more. The goal is to initiate viable independent research programs for researchers attempting to launch their research careers, with the hope that the research launched through this mechanism will lead to competitive grant submissions in the future. The LEAPS-MPS solicitation welcomes proposals from principal investigators who share NSF's commitment to diversity. The awards are for 24 months and can be up to $250,000 in total costs (direct plus indirect). Interested applicants must submit their proposals to the appropriate program in one of the five MPS Divisions. For more information on this grant opportunity, including eligibility requirements and submission details, please visit the [NSF Publication 22-604](http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf22604) webpage.

National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has posted a grant opportunity titled "Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology". This grant aims to enhance the research capabilities of Minority-serving institutions (MSIs) by establishing centers that integrate education and research. The grant focuses on promoting the development of new knowledge, enhancing research productivity, and increasing the presence of historically underrepresented students in STEM disciplines. The grant requires evidence-based and innovative strategies to address broadening participation and workforce development issues. Successful proposals are expected to achieve national research competitiveness, broaden participation in STEM, and generate sustained funding from federal, state, and private-sector sources. The grant provides multi-year support for institutions that demonstrate a strong research base. Phase I and Phase II projects are required, with Phase I providing funding for five years of research on a specific NSF-supported topic. Phase II allows institutions to continue research in the same disciplinary area or explore a significantly different area. Additionally, current CREST Center awardees can request supplemental funding to establish or strengthen partnerships and collaborations with other research centers, private sector labs, K-12 schools, and informal science entities. For more information and to submit a proposal, visit the NSF Publication 23-595 at http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf23595. The deadline for submission is December 6, 2024, and any inquiries can be directed to grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov.
