The National Science Foundation (NSF) Convergence Accelerator program addresses national-scale societal challenges through use-inspiredconvergence research. Using a convergence approach and innovation processes like human-centered design, user discovery, and team science and integration of multidisciplinary research, the Convergence Accelerator program seeks to transition basic research and discovery into practiceto solve high-impact societal challenges aligned with specific research themes (tracks). NSF Convergence Accelerator tracks are chosen in concordance with the themes identified during the programs ideation process that have the potential for significant national impact.The NSF Convergence Accelerator implements a two-phase program. Both phases are described in this solicitation and are covered by this single solicitation and corresponding Broad Agency Announcement. The link to the corresponding Broad Agency Announcement can be found at https://sam.gov/opp/0c859c722d1148a983447287ccd81c61/view.The purpose of this parallel funding opportunity is to provide increased opportunities for proposals that are led by nonacademic entities. Proposals that are led by Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), non-profits, independent museums, observatories, research labs, professional societies and similar organizations should respond to this solicitation. Proposals led by forprofit or similar organizations should respond to the BAA.Phase 1 awardees receive resources to further develop their convergence research ideas and to identify important partnerships and resources to accelerate their projects. Phase 2 awardees receive significant resources leading to deliverable research prototypes and sustainability plans. This solicitation for FY 2023 invites proposals for the following Track Topics: Track K: Equitable Water Solutions The objective of the NSF's Convergence Accelerator Track K: Equitable Water Solutions is to build upon foundational knowledge and advancements in environmental sciences, geosciences, engineering, computing, social and behavioral sciences, as well as other areas to develop viable solutions for water quality, quantity, and equity issues. Track L: Real-World Chemical Sensing Applications The overarching goal of NSF's Convergence Accelerator Track L: Real-World Chemical Sensing Applications is to develop novel energy-efficient and miniaturized or portable biological and chemical sensors for tangible applications. Track M: Bio-Inspired Design Innovations The overarching goal of NSF's Convergence Accelerator Track M: Bio-Inspired Design Innovations is to bring together scientists and practitioners to develop concepts, approaches, and technologies that build and control in the same way nature does capitalizing on millions of years of evolution to find novel solutions to major societal and economic challenges. It must be evident how the proposed work will be integrated to achieve success of the entire track. Each proposal should include a description of how the proposed project will contribute to an integrated environment that will deliver beneficial outputs for the track. It should also be clear how the projects will convergently align with the overarching goal of each track rather than as independent projects. Proposers are required to submit a Letter of Intent in order to submit a Phase 1 Full Proposal. The information required in the Letter of Intent is described in Section V. Letters of Intent should identify a team with the appropriate mix of disciplinary and cross-sector expertise required to build a convergence research effort. Letters of Intent must identify one or more deliverables, how those research outputs could impact society at scale, and the team that will be formed to carry this out. Phase 1 proposals must describe the deliverables, a research plan, and the process of team formation that will help lead to a proof-of-concept during Phase 1. If selected, Phase 1 awards may receive funding up to $750,000 for 12 months duration, of which nine months includes intense hands-on activities, centering around the Programs innovation curriculum, and three months of other activities, such as participation in the NSF Convergence Accelerator Pitch Presentations. During the nine-month intensive planning phase, teams will participate in a curriculum that will assist them in strengthening team convergence and accelerating the identified idea toward Phase 2. The curriculum provides modules on innovation processes, including human-centered design, user discovery, team science, and integration of multidisciplinary partnerships. Teams will also be provided with coaches who will support them in Phase 1 and who may continue with them into Phase 2 if the teams choose to continue with the same coach. Alternatively, the teams can request to work with a different coach. Only awardees of Phase 1 awards under this solicitation may submit a Phase 2 proposal. Phase 2 proposals must outline a 36-month research and development plan that transitions research into practice through convergence activities, multi-sector partnerships, and collaboration with other partners and end-users. If selected for Phase 2, teams will be expected to apply program fundamentals and innovation processes gained in Phase 1 to enhance partnerships, develop a solution prototype, and build a sustainability model to continue societal impact beyond NSF support. Phase 2 awards may be up to $5 million for 36 months. Phase 2 proposals must clearly describe deliverables that will be produced within 36 months. The Phase 2 teams must include partnerships critical for success and end-users (e.g., industry, Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), non-profits, government, and others), each with a specific role(s) in deliverable development and facilitating the transition of research outputs into practical uses. Successful Phase 2 proposals will be funded initially for 12 months, with subsequent years being provided on the basis of an assessment of performance (see below). Each Phase 2 teams progress will be assessed during the year through approximately four virtual and/or in-person meetings with NSF program staff. At the end of 12 months, overall progress will be evaluated based on a report and presentation that the team presents to a panel of internal and/or external reviewers. The review panel will include NSF reviewers and staff, and competing teams only.Phase 2 teams that show significant progress during the first year in accordance with the agreed timetable of milestones and deliverables will receive funding for subsequent years. Phase 2 teams must plan on completing the effort within 36 months. No-cost extensions arenotpermitted except under clearly documented exceptional circumstances. Grantees must first contact the cognizant Program Officer prior to submitting a request. The NSF Convergence Accelerator program is committed to research that derives expertise from and provides broad benefits to everyone.

Program Mission: The IUCRC program catalyzes breakthrough pre-competitive research by enabling close and sustained engagement between industry innovators, world-class academic teams, and government agencies. IUCRCs help industry partners and government agencies connect directly and efficiently with university researchers to achieve three primary objectives:1) Conduct high-impact research to meet shared and critical industrial needs in companies of all sizes; 2) Enhance U.S. global leadership in driving innovative technology development, and 3) Identify, mentor and develop a diverse, highly skilled science and engineering workforce. Program Overview: The IUCRC program provides a structure for academic researchers to conduct fundamental, pre-competitive research of shared interest to industry and government organizations. These organizations pay membership fees to a consortium so that they can collectively envision and fund research, with at least 90% of Member funds allocated to the direct costs of these shared research projects. IUCRCs are formed around research areas of strategic interest to U.S. industry.Industry is defined very broadly to include companies (large and small), startups and non-profit organizations. Principal Investigators form a Center around emerging research topics of current research interest, in a pre-competitive space but with clear pathways to applied research and commercial development.Industry partners join at inception, as an existing Center grows or they inspire the creation of a new Center by recruiting university partners to leverage NSF support.Government agencies participate in IUCRCs as Members or by partnering directly with NSF at the strategic level. Universities, academic researchers, and students benefit from IUCRC participation through the research funding, the establishment and growth of industry partnerships, and educational and career placement opportunities for students. Industry Members benefit by accessing knowledge, facilities, equipment, and intellectual property in a highly cost-efficient model; leveraging Center research outcomes in their future proprietary projects; interacting in an informal, collaborative way with other private sector and government entities with shared interests; and identifying and recruiting talent. NSF provides funding to support Center administrative costs and a governance framework to manage membership, operations, and evaluation. Successful IUCRCs require: A capable research/management team with an entrepreneurial mindset; Universities, faculty, and students interested in engaging in research of interest to industry; A community of industry partners seeking pre-competitive, use-inspired research projects. Each IUCRC is expected to grow and become independently sustainable by the end of the NSF support.

U.S. Embassy Cotonou is pleased to announce an open competition for non-governmental organizations to apply for a Local Governance and Accountability Project in Borgou Department under the Prevention and Stabilization Fund (PSF). This project seeks to improve civic participation and government engagement in marginalized communities in northern Benin, fostering transparency, accountability, and collaboration by providing tools, knowledge, and resources for marginalized communities and their associated civil society groups to actively engage in local governance and the political sphere to achieve representation and receive improved service delivery. Detailed description of the grant and guidelines are below. Please read carefully to see if your project is eligible. A grant of $250,000 U.S. Dollars (USD) in FY 2023-FY 2025 Economic Support Fund (ESF) resources will be awarded (pending availability of funds) for work that will support program objectives below. Priority Region: Borgou Department with special emphasis on the communes of Bembereke, Kalale, Perere, and Sinende. Additional departments and communes may be considered at a later stage. Background: In Benin, the practice of decentralization since 2013 has gradually strengthened citizen participation in local governments by bringing citizens closer to local governments. However, marginalized communities at the local level in rural communities are not always integrated into the decision-making processes in central and local governments (communes). This compromises their ability to influence policies creating the impression central authorities are not prioritizing their needs. Of particular concern are the 6,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Benin displaced by violence and insecurity in northern departments. Encouraging greater participation in party politics, voting, and civic engagement equates to empowering these groups politically as majority political parties continue to exercise significant influence over the management of communes. Civil society organizations acknowledge the need to include the local public, including marginalized communities and underrepresented groups in decision-making so that local governments ensure that all citizens needs are met through the principles of good governance. Promoting greater engagement and a more inclusive and responsive political system ensure that citizens needs and aspirations are met, which prevents violent conflicts caused by social resentment. In support of the stated goal, project objectives may include, but are not limited to, the following: Objective 1: Build capacity of women, minority ethnic groups, LGBTQI+ persons, religious minorities, and in particular internally displaced persons (IDPs) to actively participate in policy dialogue, political processes, and upcoming local and national elections. Objective 2: Promote greater civic awareness, citizen engagement and ultimately a more inclusive and responsive political system that better serves the need and aspirations of targeted groups. Objective 3: Protect and promote human rights and equal protection under the law of targeted groups and other community at risk. B.
