NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI)
The Research Development Office's internal deadline for internal Letters of Intent for the NSF Major Research Instrumentation program is 7/25/19. Your college may set additional deadlines. You can find full details on NC State's internal process here.
Before submitting an internal pre-proposal to RDO, PIs must get approval from their Associate Dean for Research. Each college is limited to three internal pre-proposals in Track 1, and one proposal in Track 2. Shared Core Research Facilities are also invited to submit internal pre-proposals, and are limited to one proposal, independent of track.
Please direct questions about your college's selection process to your College Research Office. Other questions about NC State's internal review can be directed to limited-submission@ncsu.edu.
Limited Submission Announcements
These programs are those that limit the number of applications that the university can submit. If you are interested in applying to one of these programs, please click the "Notification of Interest" link and fill out the form. Only those who fill out the form by the deadline will be eligible to participate in internal reviews. For more information about the limited submission process and the limited submission calendar, go here.
The Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) track seeks to achieve the same goals as the PFI-TT track by supporting instead complex, multi-faceted technology development projects that are typically beyond the scope of a single researcher or institution and require a multi-organizational, interdisciplinary, synergistic collaboration. A PFI-RP project requires the creation of partnerships between academic researchers and third-party organizations such as industry, non-academic research organizations, federal laboratories, public or non-profit technology transfer organizations or other universities. Such partnerships are needed to conduct applied research on a stand-alone larger project toward commercialization and societal impact. In the absence of such synergistic partnership, the project’s likelihood for success would be minimal.
Limit - 1 per institution
Sponsor deadline - July 10, 2019
This program supports active long-term collaborative partnerships between K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering, Computer and Information Science, and Mathematics (STEM) in-service and pre-service teachers, full-time community college faculty, and university faculty and students to enhance the scientific disciplinary knowledge and capacity of the STEM teachers and/or community college faculty through participation in authentic summer research experiences with engineering and computer science faculty researchers. The research projects and experiences all revolve around a focused research area related to engineering and/or computer science that will provide a common cohort experience to the participating educators. The K-12 STEM teachers and/or full-time community college faculty also translate their research experiences and new scientific knowledge into their classroom activities and curricula.
Limit - 3 per institution, 1 per PI or Co-PI
Sponsor deadline - September 18, 2019
*Date Change* NSF: Advanced Computing Systems & Services: Adapting to the Rapid Evolution of Science and Engineering Research
The intent of this solicitation is to request proposals from organizations willing to serve as service providers (SPs) within the NSF Innovative High-Performance Computing (HPC) program to provide advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) capabilities and/or services in production operations to support the full range of computational- and data-intensive research across all of science and engineering (S&E). The current solicitation is intended to complement previous NSF investments in advanced computational infrastructure by provisioning resources.
Limit - 1 per institution
Sponsor deadline - November 5, 2019
Other upcoming limited submission deadlines:
**student opportunity** PhRMA Foundation Pre-Doctoral Fellowship in Pharmacology/Toxicology - Notification of interest: 6/27/19
Upcoming Internal Funding Deadlines
Non-laboratory Scholarship/Research Support Program (NSRP) - September 26, 2019
Laboratory Research Equipment Program (LREP) - October 10, 2019
METRIC Pilot Project Program - October 17, 2019
*New* Non-limited Funding Opportunities
The Technology Translation (PFI-TT) track offers the opportunity to translate prior NSF-funded research results in any field of science or engineering into technological innovations with promising commercial potential and societal impact. PFI-TT supports commercial potential demonstration projects for academic research outputs in any NSF-funded science and engineering discipline. This demonstration is achieved through proof-of-concept, prototyping, technology development and/or scale-up work. Concurrently, students and postdoctoral researchers who participate in PFI-TT projects receive education and leadership training in innovation and entrepreneurship. Successful PFI-TT projects generate technology-driven commercialization outcomes that address societal needs.
Deadlines: Full proposal deadline - July 10, 2019 & January 8, 2020
NIH: Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health
NIH’s program in Dissemination and Implementation Research is supported by 14 Institutes and 3 Offices within the Office of the Director. The purpose of the program is to support innovative approaches to identifying, understanding, and developing strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines. Conversely, there is a benefit in understanding circumstances that create a need to stop or reduce (“de-implement”) the use of interventions that are ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. There are three coordinated funding opportunity announcements:
- R01 - https://grants.nih.gov/grants/
guide/pa-files/PAR-19-274.html - The R01 program is for longer term projects (up to 5 years), and does not have budget cap. Studies that build on an existing body of work would be appropriate for the R01 mechanism. - R21 - https://grants.nih.gov/grants/
guide/pa-files/PAR-19-275.html - The R21 program is for exploratory and developmental research projects, such as developing new methodologies or exploring the feasibility of new technological application. Project periods are limited to 2 years, and total direct costs may not exceed $275,000. - R03 - https://grants.nih.gov/grants/
guide/pa-files/PAR-19-276.html - The R03 program is for small scale projects such as pilot studies or secondary analysis of existing data sets. Project periods are limited to 2 years, and direct costs may not exceed $50,000 per year.
The National Institute of Aging is looking for applications that propose Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and/or Deep Learning approaches to identify gene mutations/variants that cause or contribute to the risk of or protection against the development of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. This program is a cooperative agreement because NIA anticipates significant involvement in mediating access to already sequenced and phenotyped cohort data found in the National Institute on Aging Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease Data Storage Site (NIAGADS). Projects are limited to 5 years, with no budget limits.
Deadlines February 5th, June 5th, and October 5th (through 9/8/2022).
