National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has posted a grant opportunity titled "ECosystem for Leading Innovation in Plasma Science and Engineering". This grant aims to advance knowledge and technological innovation in the field of plasma science and engineering. The program seeks to bring together scientists and engineers from multiple NSF Directorates to conduct translational research at the interface of fundamental plasma science and technological innovation. The program encourages proposals in various topical areas, including plasma surface interactions, atmospheric pressure plasmas, dusty plasmas, sensor development, computational modeling, plasmons in nano-photonics, and chemical measurement science. Proposals should address societal or technological needs within the scope of science and engineering supported by the NSF. The program also emphasizes the importance of diversity and inclusion in the ECLIPSE community and encourages proposals from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and institutions in EPSCoR-eligible jurisdictions. The ECLIPSE program does not replace existing programs and proposals should be submitted to the relevant program. The deadline for proposal submission varies depending on the program.

Division of Physics: Investigator-Initiated Research Projects
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Division of Physics: Investigator-Initiated Research Projects". This grant aims to support physics research and the development of future scientists in colleges and universities across various physics disciplines. The grant covers a wide range of research areas, including atomic, molecular and optical physics, elementary particle physics, gravitational physics, integrative activities in physics, nuclear physics, particle astrophysics, physics at the information frontier, physics of living systems, plasma physics, and quantum information science. The NSF encourages Principal Investigators (PIs) to consider efforts to increase diversity in the physics community and promote the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM fields. It is important to note that the NSF strongly encourages single proposal submissions for possible co-review, rather than multiple related proposals to different programs. The grant is open to various types of organizations, including foreign organizations (with support limited to the U.S. portion of cooperative projects), for-profit organizations (U.S.-based commercial organizations with strong capabilities in scientific or engineering research or education), non-profit non-academic organizations (independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies, and similar organizations directly associated with educational or research activities), other Federal Agencies and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), state and local governments (state educational offices or organizations and local school districts), and institutions of higher education (two- and four-year IHEs accredited in the U.S.). The grant has an estimated total program funding of $120,000,000. The close date for submission is December 10, 2024.
