The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on applications of isotopic and elemental geochemistry to ecologic as well as surface and groundwater hydrologic problems. Essential components of the funding opportunity are: 1) student, faculty, and laboratory support for application, refinement, and development of geochemical methods, that 2) address solute and water sources and transport pathways, through 3) application of a wide range of stable and radioisotopic systems (ranging from hydrogen, helium, and lithium through uranium and lead), by 4) analysis of the isotopic and elemental composition of diverse sample media (including plant and animal tissue, sediment, rock, and aqueous phases, especially high salinity brine).

With this solicitation, NIJ seeks applications for funding of rigorous, independent evaluation projects funded under the OJP Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative (CVIPI). This solicitation includes two funding categories: 1) Evaluation research of programmatic sites funded under the OJP FY23 and FY24 CVIPI solicitations; and 2) evaluation research of other community-violence programs.

This funding opportunity supports U.S. and eligible international institutions in developing innovative research and technology projects for lunar surface exploration, adaptable to various landing sites on the Moon.

The National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) has announced the FY24 American Lobster Research Program to support projects that advance the scientific understanding of the American Lobster fishery and aid the resilience of fishing communities against environmental changes and economic uncertainties. Approximately $2 million in federal funds is expected to be available in FY2024, with individual awards capped at $600,000 for projects lasting one to two years. Applicants are required to provide a 50% non-federal match. Eligible projects must occur within the U.S. or its territories and waterways. This opportunity encourages projects involving partnerships across industry, state agencies, academia, and community members to address the fishery's complexities, including its ecological and economic aspects. Grant renewed every year.

This funding opportunity is designed to support innovative research aimed at protecting military personnel from diseases transmitted by insects, focusing on new insecticides, personal protection technologies, and improved pest management strategies.

This grant provides funding for research and projects that develop climate change predictions and analyses to help industries adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate-related challenges through 2050.

This grant provides funding for innovative technologies that improve the Navy and Marine Corps' electronic warfare and surveillance capabilities, targeting researchers and companies developing advanced signal processing, countermeasures, and ISR systems.

This funding opportunity supports partnerships that include domestic academic institutions to develop innovative technologies for extracting and refining rare earth elements from unconventional sources, enhancing the U.S. supply chain and reducing environmental impact.

This funding opportunity supports collaborative research teams from multiple institutions to explore and develop innovative quantum systems influenced by time-periodic driving forces, enhancing national security and technological innovation.

This funding opportunity supports U.S. institutions conducting research and developing technologies to detect and mitigate potential asteroid and comet threats to Earth.

This funding opportunity supports early career scientists in the U.S. who are working on planetary science research, helping them advance their projects and professional development through financial support.

This grant provides funding for early-phase clinical trials aimed at improving treatments for service-connected eye injuries and visual dysfunction in military personnel and veterans.

This funding opportunity supports U.S.-based researchers and organizations in using commercial satellite data to advance Earth science research and applications.

This funding opportunity is designed for research institutions and organizations affiliated with the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit to investigate remote sensing techniques for monitoring dissolved organic matter in water, ultimately improving water quality management across the United States.

The PRMRP Technology/Therapeutic Development Award (TTDA) is a product-driven award mechanism intended to provide support for the translation of promising preclinical findings into products for clinical applications, including prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, or quality of life, for a disease or condition related to one of the FY24 PRMRP Topic Areas and one of the FY24 PRMRP Strategic Goals. Products in development should be responsive to the health care needs of military Service Members, Veterans, and their Families. The product(s) to be developed under the PRMRP TTDA mechanism may be a tangible item, such as a pharmacologic agent (drugs or biologics) or device, or a knowledge-based product. (A knowledge product is a non-materiel product that addresses an identified need in a topic area, is based on current evidence and research, aims to transition into medical practice, training, tools, or to support materiel solutions [systems to develop, acquire, provide, and sustain medical solutions and capabilities], and educates or impacts behavior throughout the continuum of care, including primary prevention of negative outcomes.)The Technology/Therapeutic Development Award is not intended for basic research. Applicants generating preliminary data, basic research, performing high-risk/high-gain studies should consider one of the other FY24 PRMRP program announcements being offered. For information about these award mechanisms, see Section II.A.1, FY24 PRMRP Research Development Pipeline.

This funding opportunity is designed to support researchers at U.S.-based institutions in conducting studies related to Earth's surface and interior, with potential participation from foreign organizations under specific guidelines.

The purpose of the RRTCs, which are funded through the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, is to achieve the goals of, and improve the effectiveness of, services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act through well-designed research, training, technical assistance, and dissemination activities in important topical areas as specified by NIDILRR. These activities are designed to benefit people with disabilities, family members, rehabilitation service providers, policymakers and other research stakeholders. The purpose of this particular RRTC is to conduct research, training, technical assistance, and related activities to contribute to improved health and function among people with physical disabilities. NIDILRR plans to make one grant under this opportunity. The grant will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods.
