Calls for Proposals:

  • American Mathematical Society: The American Mathematical Society has announced a new program to foster and support research collaboration by mathematicians employed full-time at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUI), i.e., those that do not award doctoral degrees in mathematics. With generous funding from the Simons Foundation, AMS expects to award at least 40 grants per year starting in 2023.

    This new three-year grant will provide $3,000 a year to awardees to support research-related activities. Eligible applicants will have earned their PhD degree at least five years before the start of the grant and will not concurrently hold external research funding exceeding $3,000 per year. The applicant’s research must be in an area on the Disciplinary Research Programs list published by the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the NSF.

    Applications will open January 2, 2023 and close March 20, 2023. Funds will be disbursed in July 2023.

Reminders:

  • The National Science Foundation’s decommissioning of FastLane is well under way. Effective November 21st, Award Documents, Organizational Reports, and Grants.gov integration in FastLane were retired and will be decommissioned. NSF is preparing to transition the preparation and submission of all new proposals from FastLane to Research.gov on January 30, 2023, when the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 23-1) becomes effective. More information, including important FastLane transition deadlines, can be found on the new FastLane Decommissioning webpage.

Did you know?

  • There is a new solicitation for the National Science Foundation’s Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, and the submission dates have changed! The two submission windows in 2023 will be January 16, 2023 – February 21, 2023 and October 16, 2023 – November 15, 2023. As mentioned in previous editions of GO News, the NSF MRI Program supports requests for up to $4 million from the NSF for the development or acquisition of multi-user research instruments that are critical to the advancement of science and engineering. If you’re planning to apply, please contact the grants office as soon as possible, so we can determine if there is a need for an internal selection process.

Upcoming Opportunities:

  • The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine: Ford Foundation Fellowships: Through its program of fellowships, the Ford Foundation seeks to increase the diversity of the nation’s college and university faculties by increasing their ethnic and racial diversity, maximize the educational benefits of diversity, and increase the number of professors who can and will use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students. Faculty who earned their Ph.D. no earlier than 12/8/2015 are eligible to apply for a $50,000 postdoctoral fellowship. Deadline is December 8, 2022, 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST)

  • LEF Foundation Moving Image Fund: Production and Post-Production Grants: LEF’s Moving Image Fund is now accepting letters of inquiry for projects in Production and Post-production. A maximum of seven grants of $15,000 each will be awarded to projects in the Production phase, and a maximum of four grants of $25,000 each will be awarded to projects in the Post-Production phase during LEF’s major grants review. All letters of inquiry are due on Friday, January 20 at 11:59pm ET.

  • Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation: Whiting Foundation Fellowships: The Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation awards fellowships to faculty in all disciplines with the aim to stimulate and broaden the awardees’ minds so as to improve and enhance the quality of their instruction. Grants are primarily for travel and related expenses and not as salary substitutes, scholarships, or grants in aid.

    Please contact the grants office, if you are interested in applying. Applications are due January 6, 2023.

  • James McKeen Cattell Fund: James McKeen Cattell Fund Fellowship: The Cattell Fund Fellowship supplements the regular sabbatical allowance provided by the recipients’ home institutions, to allow an extension of leave-time from one to two semesters. Eligible applicants are psychologists who are tenured faculty members at colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada, and are eligible, according to the regulations of their own institutions, for a sabbatical leave or its equivalent. The maximum award is $40,000. Applications are due January 15.

  • Hutchins Center for African & African American Research: Du Bois Research Institute Fellowship: This opportunity is for a residential fellowship at the W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute at Harvard University. Scholars who conduct research in a range of fields related to African and African American Studies are eligible to apply. Terms are available for the fall semester, spring semester, or full academic year. Stipend amounts vary but average about $65,000. Applications are due by January 23, 2023.
