SUMMARY:Boost Funding Applications Due
DESCRIPTION:NC School of Medicine (SOM) faculty are extremely successful in their efforts to obtain funding for their research\, although the SOM recognizes that it often takes multiple submissions and additional experimental data to get a new project funded\, particularly as a new investigator\, or with a more complex\, multi-PI project. \nIn support of these efforts\, the SOM Office of Research is inviting applications from faculty for Boost awards\, which are designed to boost the chances of funding for an NIH grant (or similar) that has been reviewed favorably but needs additional revisions and preliminary data in order to be funded on resubmission.  Please note that Boost awards are distinct from the OoR bridge funding program\, which provides funds for bridging A1 renewal applications for ongoing\, not new\, projects. \nThe most recent memo can be found here. \nPlease direct questions and email your applications to Jen Brennan at OoR_Submissions@med.unc.edu.

SUMMARY:Bridge Funding Applications Due
DESCRIPTION:Bridge funding applications are typically accepted 3 times during the academic year.  A memo is sent to Department Chairs to share with their faculty giving specific due dates. \nThe most recent memo can be found here. \nEligibility criteria: \n\nThe grant has been reviewed and received a written critique\nThe PI has no more than 2 active R01s or the equivalent level of funding\nThe PI does not have more than $50k of additional sources of lab support\, e.g. trust fund\, startup\, retention\, royalties.\nIf the grant’s NIH number identifies the grant as a ‘new’ grant\, the PI must include a cover letter explaining how the new grant is a repackaged version of previously funded research\nThe grant under consideration must be administered in an SOM unit\nThe department/center agrees to match the funding from the Dean’s Office.\n\nThe application for bridge funding much include: \n\ncover letter\nletter of support\ncurrent 3-4 page NIH biosketch\npublications\nresearch section of the original grant application\nthe NIH review of that application\na draft rebuttal for the revised application\nproposed budget for the bridge funds.\n\nPlease direct questions and email your applications to Jen Brennan at OoR_Submissions@med.unc.edu.

Last year’s RFA can also be found here.  Please consider nominating your students if they fit the eligibility criteria.  Only one proposal per institution is allowed so there will be an internal selection process to identify the best candidate. \nThe purpose of the award is to facilitate the transition of talented graduate students into successful cancer research postdoctoral appointments\, and provide opportunities for career development activities relevant to their long-term career goals of becoming independent cancer researchers. \nThe F99/K00 award is meant to provide up to 6 years of support in two phases and is intended for individuals who require 1-2 years to complete their Ph.D. dissertation research training (F99 phase) before transitioning to mentored postdoctoral research training (K00 phase). Consequently\, applicants are expected to propose an individualized research training plan for the next 1-2 years of dissertation research training and a plan for 3-4 years of mentored postdoctoral research and career development activities that will prepare them for independent cancer-focused research careers. \nThe applicant must have a baccalaureate degree and be currently enrolled as a graduate student in the third or fourth year of a mentored PhD or equivalent research degree program in the biomedical\, behavioral\, or clinical sciences. The applicant must be at the dissertation research stage of training at the time of award\, and must show evidence of high academic performance in the sciences and commitment to a career as an independent cancer research scientist \nSince this is a limited submission\, the OoR will conduct the SOM review and coordinate the final review and selection with other schools that have nominated applicants. \nFaculty mentors with primary appointments in the School of Dentistry\, School of Pharmacy\, or School of Public Health should direct their nominations to their School. \nFor faculty mentors in the SOM\, the items below should be emailed to the Office of Research (oor_submissions@med.unc.edu) by Thursday\, September 1\, 2022. \n\nTitle Page including:\n\n-Nominee name\, department\, PhD program\, current year in the graduate program \n-Mentor name\, department \n-Citizenship status or current Visa \n\nNomination letter from the primary mentor. This letter should confirm that the nominee will be at the dissertation research stage of training at the time of award\, and must provide “evidence of high academic performance in the sciences and commitment to a career as an independent cancer research scientist” .  The primary mentor must confirm his/her “successful track record of mentoring predoctoral students”.\n\n\nDissertation Aims / Summary (1 page) prepared by the nominee\nNIH biosketch for the candidate (please address future plans and relevance to cancer in your personal statement)\nNIH biosketch for the faculty mentor\n\n  \nUNC has had three students that have been selected for this program previously:  Sarah Shelton / BME (2016) and Ning Cheng / Oral biology (2017) and Megan Agajanian / Pharmacology (2019). \n  \nMore information including slides and recording of webinars from last year can be found here under the Resources tab at the end of the page.

SUMMARY:Limited Submission Internal Deadline: NSF Partnerships for Innovation (PFI)
DESCRIPTION:Limited Submissions: Internal Call for Proposals  \nNSF Partnerships for Innovation (PFI)  \nUNC Internal Deadline: 11:59PM\, Monday\, May 23\, 2022  \n                \n  \n*Please distribute to relevant faculty*  \nKey Dates \nUNC Internal Deadline: 11:59PM\, Monday\, May 23\, 2022 \nNSF Full Proposal Deadline: July 13\, 2022  \nImportant Information \n\nNumber of Applications per Institution: There is no limit on the number of PFI-TT proposals an organization may submit to a deadline of this solicitation. However\, an organization may not submit more than one (1) new or resubmitted PFI-RP proposal to a deadline of this solicitation.  \nWEBINARS: Webinars will be held to answer questions about the solicitation. Registration will be available on the NSF Partnerships for Innovation website (https://www.nsf.gov/PFI). Potential proposers and their partners are encouraged to attend.  \n\nAward Information  \nPFI-RP projects will be funded for up to $550\,000 for 36 months. Approximately 10-15 awards are anticipated.  Please carefully review the current NSF solicitation as there are significant programmatic changes since the prior PFI call. \nTo Apply \nSubmit the following via LAMSeS by 11:59PM\, Monday\, May 23\, 2022. \n\nPI/ Team members NSF-formatted biosketch \nProject Summary + Project Track Confirmation + Industrial Partner (four-page maximum)\nList of potential collaborators (internal and external to UNC) \nNames of three internal (to UNC) experts who could speak knowledgeably about the candidate’s research and who could potentially serve on an internal review panel. \n\nPlease do not include the names of faculty named on the project\, chairs\, deans\, directors\, direct reports\, or others who have a conflict of interest\nPlease notify all potential internal reviewers before submitting the pre-proposal packet to ORD\n\n\n\nProgram Description  \nThe Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) Program within the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (IIP) offers researchers from all disciplines of science and engineering funded by NSF the opportunity to perform translational research and technology development\, catalyze partnerships and accelerate the transition of discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace for societal benefit. \nPFI has five broad goals:   \n\nIdentifying and supporting NSF-sponsored research and technologies that have the potential for accelerated commercialization;\nSupporting prior or current NSF-sponsored investigators\, institutions of higher education\, and non-profit organizations that partner with an institution of higher education in undertaking proof-of-concept work\, including the development of technology prototypes that are derived from NSF-sponsored research and have potential market value;\nPromoting sustainable partnerships between NSF-funded institutions\, industry\, and other organizations within academia and the private sector with the purpose of accelerating the transfer of technology;\nDeveloping multi-disciplinary innovation ecosystems which involve and are responsive to the specific needs of academia and industry;\nProviding professional development\, mentoring\, and advice in entrepreneurship\, project management\, and technology and business development to innovators.\n\nThe 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. PFI-RP proposals require a minimum of one (1) Industrial Partner. This partner (i.e.\, either a for-profit or not- for-profit entity that fulfills the minimum requirement) must be U.S.-based and have an established record of commercial revenues that include sales\, services\, or licensing.  \nThe intended outcome of the track is:   \n\nThe commercialization of new intellectual property derived from NSF-funded research outputs;\nThe creation of new or broader collaborations with industry (including increased corporate sponsored research);\nThe licensing of NSF-funded research outputs to third party corporations or to start-up companies funded by a PFI team; and d) the training of future innovation and entrepreneurship leaders.\n\nEligibility  \nNSF Lineage Requirement: All proposals submitted to the PFI program must meet a lineage requirement under one of the following two paths: (1) NSF-supported research results\, or (2) NSF-supported customer discovery results through the NSF I-Corps Teams Program. \n  \n\n NSF-supported research results in all fields of science and engineering: Principal Investigator (PI) or a co-PI must have had an NSF award that ended no more than seven (7) years prior to the full proposal deadline date or be a current NSF award recipient. The proposed technology development project must be derived from the research results and/or discoveries from this underlying NSF award.\n\nOR \n\n NSF-supported customer discovery results through the NSF I-Corps TeamsProgram. The Principal Investigator (PI) or a co-PI must have been a member of an award under the NSF I-Corps Teams Program (https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/teams.jsp). The PI or co-PI must have fully completed the training provided under the I-Corps Team award within the past four (4) years. The customer discovery activities performed under the NSF-funded I-Corps award must be based on the technology that is proposed to be translated within the PFI proposal.\n\n  \nOBJECTIVES NOT RESPONSIVE TO THIS SOLICITATION \nProposals that pursue the following activities are not responsive to this solicitation and may be returned without review: basic research projects that do not involve technology translation and development activity; clinical trials\, clinical efficacy or safety studies\, development or validation of pre-clinical or clinical-stage drug candidates\, medical devices or information technologies\, or activities performed for regulatory purposes; commercial activities such as marketing\, sales\, corporate or business development\, fundraising\, intellectual property or regulatory work; straightforward engineering work; incremental development of existing products; or evolutionary modifications to broaden the scope of existing products or applications. \n  \nInternal Review Criteria  \nAll PFI proposals must address the following five elements. Please view the NSF solicitation for additional details. \n\nTechnology Development\nDemonstration of Commercialization Potential\nPartnerships\nEducation and Leadership Development in Innovation and Entrepreneurship\nBroadening Participation\n\nAdditional Information  \nFull solicitation: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2019/nsf19506/nsf19506.htm \nPlease contact the Limited Submissions Team with questions at Limited_Submission@unc.edu. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLimited Submissions Team \nOffice of Research Development \nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \n

SUMMARY:Limited Submission Internal Deadline: NSF IUSE/Professional Formation of Engineers: Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (IUSE/PFE: RED)
DESCRIPTION:Limited Submissions: Internal Call for Proposals \nNSF IUSE/Professional Formation of Engineers: Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (IUSE/PFE: RED) \nUNC Internal Deadline: 11:59PM\, Wednesday\, May 18\, 2022 \n  \n*Please distribute to relevant faculty* \nKey Dates \n  \nUNC Internal Deadline: 11:59PM\, Wednesday\, May 18\, 2022 \nNSF Full Proposal Deadline: July 18\, 2022 \nImportant Information \n  \nNumber of Applications per Institution: An eligible institution may submit a maximum of two proposals (e.g. 2 RED Innovation Track or 1 RED A&I Track and 1 RED Two-year Track). \nAward Information \n2-3 RED Innovation awards are anticipated; the budget for RED Innovation proposals is between $1\,000\,00-$2\,000\,000 for a duration of up to 5 years for a single institution or between $1\,500\,000-$3\,000\,000 for up to 5 years for department-level collaborations across multiple institutions. 2 – 3 RED A&I awards are anticipated; the budget for RED A&I proposals has a maximum of $1\,000\,000 for a duration of up to 5 years. 2-3 RED Two-Year awards are anticipated; the budget for RED Two-Year proposals is between $1\,000\,000-$2\,000\,000 for a duration of up to 5 years for collaborations across multiple two-year institutions. \nTo Apply \nSubmit the following via LAMSeS by 11:59PM\, Wednesday\, May 18\, 2022. \n\nPI/ Team members NSF-formatted biosketch \nProject Summary + Project Track Confirmation (four-page maximum)\nList of potential collaborators (internal and external to UNC) \nNames of three internal (to UNC) experts who could speak knowledgeably about the candidate’s research and who could potentially serve on an internal review panel. \n\nPlease do not include the names of faculty named on the project\, chairs\, deans\, directors\, direct reports\, or others who have a conflict of interest\nPlease notify all potential internal reviewers before submitting the pre-proposal packet to ORD\n\n\n\nProgram Overview \n  \nWhile previous efforts have made pedagogical changes to the way engineers and engineering technologists are educated\, RED projects must consider the cultural\, organizational\, structural\, and pedagogical changes needed to transform the department to one in which students are engaged\, develop their technical and professional skills\, and establish identities as professional engineers or technologists. In recent years there has been a growing recognition of the need to create and support an innovative and inclusive engineering profession for the 21st Century. Doing so requires understanding of how engineers are formed and how to inculcate them with the technical and professional skills needed to solve the complex problems facing society. While some innovation has been adopted in the freshman and senior years\, the middle two years remain largely untouched [4]. Educating the next generation requires that coherent technical and professional threads be developed and woven across all four years. The RED program is focusing on the middle two years because of the lack of attention this period has received in the past. Further\, the RED program focuses on structural and cultural change because past attempts have shown that curricular and pedagogical change does not take hold if underlying structures remain the same. In addition\, RED funding has demonstrated the need to engage both internal and external stakeholders to build shared vision in departmental change projects [5\,6]. RED projects should create a seamless educational experience for students in their disciplinary degree programs\, bridging the foundational science and engineering courses and capstone projects. The result will be students who are prepared to be professionals in their chosen paths after graduation. Proposals from IHEs with documented success in awarding degrees to students from groups underrepresented in engineering (such as minority-serving institutions\, women’s colleges\, IHEs primarily serving persons with disabilities) are strongly encouraged. \n  \nStrategies should be developed with impact on the student as the focus. Proposed efforts must be grounded in sound educational theory and work to enable a continuous progression of professional formation through the four-year experience. Efforts should address 21st Century T-shaped skills (i.e.\, cross-disciplinary breadth)\, and they should be aligned with stakeholder expectations. \n  \n  \nSpecific activities supported by the RED solicitation may include\, but are not limited to:  \n\nEstablishing convergent technical and professional threads that must be woven across the four years\, especially in core technical courses of the middle two years\, in internship opportunities in the private and public sectors\, and in research opportunities with faculty;\nExploring strategies for institutional\, systemic\, and cultural change\, including new approaches to faculty governance or department structures and to restructuring faculty incentive or reward systems;\nExploring collaborative arrangements with industry and other stakeholders who are mutually interested in developing the best possible professional formation environment and opportunities for students;\nExploring strategies to bridge the engineering education research-to-practice gap\, primarily through faculty development and adoption of best practices in the professional formation of engineers; and\nExploring revolutionary means of recruiting and retaining students and faculty reflective of the modern and swiftly changing demographics of the United States.\nExploring new modes of delivering content (or facilitating learning) that respond to the learning needs of a diverse student body\, making engineering more accessible.\n\nRED Innovation track: The RED Innovation track supports projects that involve radically\, suddenly\, or completely new approaches and action; producing fundamental\, structural change; and that go outside of or beyond existing norms and principles. Innovations in similar departments across multiple institutions is particularly encouraged. This track has two goals: \n\nGenerate new knowledge on best practices for meaningfully and thoughtfully incorporating into the middle two years at four-year institutions and technical core of the engineering curriculum oft-neglected “professional skills” (i.e. 21st Century skills\, design\, communication\, teamwork\, historical and contemporary social context\, lifelong learning\, and ethics). Changes in the middle two years need to be integrated with freshman and senior experiences in order to form an unbroken sequenced thread through the curriculum so that the process of professional formation deepens and strengthens as students move through engineering programs.\nGenerate new knowledge on how to transform the departmental cultures to be environments that are inclusive\, innovative\, equitable and supportive of faculty\, faculty development to support cultural change\, and build new department structures and cultures through innovative practices and policies that support significant holistic professional formation.\n\nRED A&I Track: The RED A&I track support projects that use evidence-based and evidence-generating change strategy approaches and actions that are adapted to the local context. The goal of this track is to: \n\nGenerate new knowledge related to the adaptation of proven change strategies and actions in a new context.\n\nThis track encourages proposals from two-year or four-year institutions that are interested in adopting change strategies at a single institution. \nRED Two-Year Track: The RED Two-Year track supports projects that involve radically new approaches among multiple two-year institutions that result in structural changes beyond existing norms and principles. The goal of this track is to: \n\nGenerate new knowledge on best practices for preparing engineers and technologists for future professions and integrating professional skills into the curriculum at two-year institutions through supporting partnerships. The focus is expected to be on students who would transfer to accredited four-year engineering or engineering-technology institutions.\n\nEligibility \n  \nWho May Serve as PI: For all tracks\, the Principal Investigator must be a department chair/head (or equivalent) to provide leadership for the change process. For the RED Two-Year Track\, the PI must be at a two-year institution. Additionally\, there must be a RED team that includes (at a minimum) an expert in engineering education research who can provide guidance on evidence-based practices\, and an organizational change expert who can advise on strategies for developing a culture of change and on strategies for creating meaningful collective ownership of the effort among faculty\, students\, and staff. The engineering education and organizational change experts may be at different institutions from the proposing institution. Funding for these experts at other institutions may be supported as consultants\, through a subaward\, or through a separately submitted collaborative proposal. \nReview Criteria \nThe internal review criteria will mirror the guidelines as described within the program solicitation. \nAdditional Information \nFull solicitation: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2022/nsf22587/nsf22587.htm \nPlease contact the Limited Submissions Team with questions at Limited_Submission@unc.edu. \n  \n  \n  \nLimited Submissions Team \nOffice of Research Development \nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \n
