The Silicon Carbide (SiC) Packaging Prize, a three-phase competition launched by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Electricity, aims to accelerate the development of state-of-the-art SiC packaging prototypes. This initiative aligns with the DOE's mission to advance energy technologies and strengthen grid-based applications. The program's core objective is to push the industry beyond its current limitations in semiconductor packaging, specifically targeting the expansion of SiC power module capabilities to handle higher voltage and current. By fostering innovation in SiC packaging, the DOE seeks to enable more efficient and robust high-performance power electronics for future grid applications. The target beneficiaries of this prize are private entities (for-profits and nonprofits), nonfederal government entities (states, counties, tribes, and municipalities), academic institutions, and individuals based in the United States. The impact goal is to develop 10-kV, 2,000-A rated SiC power modules, addressing existing challenges such as parasitic inductance and heat dissipation that limit the performance of current SiC power modules. The program prioritizes solutions related to the SiC semiconductor packaging industry, with the majority of activities performed in the U.S. and benefiting the U.S. market. It seeks innovations that move the industry forward, are based on fundamental technical principles, and demonstrate a clear intent for commercialization and the establishment of viable U.S.-based businesses. The competition is structured into three phases, each with specific focuses and expected outcomes. Phase 1, "Design Study," requires competitors to describe their teams, plans, and current prototypes, with the goal of developing design documents for a Phase 2 prototype. Phase 2, "Initial Demonstration," will see winners from Phase 1 showcasing advancements in packaging solutions, aiming for progress towards Phase 2 performance metrics and innovation beyond the state-of-the-art. Finally, Phase 3, "Final Demonstration," focuses on achieving high voltage and high current targets for SiC modules, demonstrating significant improvements in packaging solutions and creating transformative technologies. Measurable results are tied to the prize structure, with financial incentives at each phase. Phase 1 offers up to 10 winners $50,000 each, Phase 2 provides up to 4 winners $250,000 each, and Phase 3 culminates with up to 1 winner receiving $750,000. These prizes incentivize progress towards the ultimate goal of developing advanced SiC power modules, with the program's strategic priority being the commercialization of early-stage technology and the growth of U.S.-based businesses. The theory of change behind this prize is that by fostering competition and providing financial support, the DOE can stimulate rapid innovation in a critical technology area, thereby improving grid reliability and performance while bolstering domestic manufacturing capabilities.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for early-stage researchers in the U.S. to explore innovative studies on HIV-related health issues, such as comorbidities and coinfections, with the potential to transform understanding and treatment in this field.

Middle East Regional Cooperation (MERC): This grant program, managed by USAID, aims to fund collaborative research projects between Israeli and MENA region partners to address shared challenges, particularly in food security, and promote lasting peace through applied scientific research and technological development.

The "Reducing Barriers that Impede Access to Education and Decent Work for LGBTQI+ Youth in Brazil and the Latin American and Caribbean Region" grant is a $4 million funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Labor to support a project that enhances understanding of, coordination for, and capacity to provide safe environments for LGBTQI+ youth, thereby improving their access to education and decent work in Brazil and the Latin American and Caribbean region.

With this solicitation, BJA seeks to support state, local, and tribal governments, as well as community-based nonprofit organizations, to establish, expand, or improve treatment and recovery support services for people with substance use disorders (SUDs) during their incarceration and upon reentry into the community. This program seeks to reduce crime and recidivism, expand access to evidence-based treatment, and promote long-term recovery for people leaving incarceration, and, in the process, improve public safety and public health.

This funding opportunity supports researchers and organizations developing innovative tissue grafts to restore damaged brain tissue, targeting chronic neurological conditions affecting millions of people.

The purpose of this initiative is to advance research that reduces firearm injury and disparities through the development and evaluation of firearm injury primary prevention interventions leveraging community healthcare settings. This funding opportunity solicits applications that focus on primary prevention of firearm injury leveraging community healthcare settings. Applications may propose intervention studies with a rigorous design including, but not limited to, policy implementation studies, natural experiments and other studies with a quasi-experimental design, as well as those meeting the NIH definition of a clinical trial. Aims may focus on efficacy, effectiveness, or hybrid effectiveness/implementation research. Health or behavioral outcomes for this funding opportunity should be appropriate to the aims and should include, but are not limited to, changes in behavior related to firearm injury prevention and firearm safety procedures, and implementation outcomes. Change in knowledge of firearm injury prevention measures may be a secondary outcome (e.g., as a mechanism of action) but should not be the focus of the project. Multi-level, multi-disciplinary interventions and outcomes are encouraged, including individual, interpersonal, organizational, and community levels. Individual level outcomes should be one of the outcome levels included. Rigorous methods that address potential sources of bias that are appropriate to the study design are expected. Intervention studies are expected to include a theory-informed examination of the mechanisms of intervention effects. Projects that are responsive to this funding opportunity include R01 studies of all size, from small, single-site, three-year projects such as to adapt an intervention to the community or to test efficacy of an intervention, to large multi-site trials to test effectiveness and implementation strategies. Applications that meet any of the non-responsiveness criteria will be considered non-responsive and will not be reviewed. Implementation studies should include an evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention in the site or sites. Years requested and project budgets should reflect the scope of the project. A description of plans for community engagement, including clear justification of the planned approach, is required. Projects that focus on populations that experience health disparities are highly encouraged.
