Upcoming Internal Funding Deadlines 

Non-Limited Funding Opportunities
NSF: Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace Frontiers (SaTC Frontiers) 
The SaTC program welcomes proposals that address cybersecurity and privacy, and draw on expertise in one or more of these areas: computing, communication and information sciences; engineering; economics; education; mathematics; statistics; and social and behavioral sciences.  Through this solicitation, NSF specifically seeks ambitious and potentially transformative center-scale projects in the area of security and privacy that (1) catalyze far-reaching research explorations motivated by deep scientific questions or hard problems and/or by compelling applications and novel technologies that promise significant scientific and/or societal benefits, and (2) stimulate significant research and education outcomes that, through effective knowledge transfer mechanisms, promise scientific, economic and/or other societal benefits. 
Deadline - LOI: 7/5/19; Full proposal: 9/30/19

NIH: NCI Informatics Technology for Cancer Research Program
Deadline - LOI: 30 days prior; Full Applications: 6/11/19, 11/20/19
NCI has released a suite of Funding Opportunity Announcements to support their Informatics Technology for Cancer Research Program. The central mission of ITCR is to promote research-driven informatics technology across the development lifecycle to address priority needs in cancer research including cancer biology, cancer treatment and diagnosis, early cancer detection, risk assessment and prevention, cancer control and epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities.
This FOA is designed to encourage the research community to develop a range of approaches for preventing Tick Borne Diseases in humans using both established and novel technologies. This FOA will support approaches including, but not limited to: 1) Identifying and testing antigens for human vaccines against tick-borne pathogens; 2) Development and evaluation of vaccine candidates (excluding clinical trials); 3)“Anti-tick” vaccines to elicit immune responses against tick salivary proteins or other antigens; 4) Reservoir-targeted vaccines to interrupt sylvatic transmission; 5) Other reservoir-targeted approaches to interrupt the natural history of infection; and 6) Transgenic and para-transgenic approaches in ticks or reservoirs to interrupt tick-borne pathogen uptake, colonization, or transmission.
Deadline - LOI 7/6/19; Full Application: 8/6/19
NIH: Revolutionizing Innovative, Visionary Environmental health Research (RIVER) (R35 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
The NIH Director’s Pioneer Award Program supports individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose highly innovative and potentially transformative research towards the ultimate goal of enhancing human health. Applications in all topics relevant to the broad mission of NIH are welcome, including, but not limited to, topics in the behavioral, social, biomedical, applied, and formal sciences and topics that may involve basic, translational, or clinical research. To be considered pioneering, the proposed research must reflect substantially different scientific directions from those already being pursued in the investigator’s research program or elsewhere. Awards are $700,000 direct costs per year, and require PIs to commit 6 months of effort initially.
Deadline - 9/9/19
