The American Competitiveness in Chemistry-Fellowship program is a program to support postdoctoral associates in chemistry.?? It seeks to (1) build ties between academic and industrial, and/or national laboratory, and/or Chemistry Division-funded center researchers (partners) and (2) involve beginning scientists in efforts to broaden participation in chemistry.?? Fellows will pursue research with industrial, and/or national laboratory, and/or Chemistry Division-funded center partners that will enrich their in-house research program.?? In addition, fellows will develop and implement their own plans for broadening participation in the chemical sciences.?? Successful applicants must propose a well-integrated, synergistic research plan with their chosen affiliate as well as an effective outreach plan that will broaden participation by underrepresented groups in chemistry.?? The research must be in a thematic area that is supported by the NSF Division of Chemistry.??????The Program will support Fellows for two years of postgraduate study.?? The Chemistry Division envisions that Postdoctoral Fellows with successful programs who pursue careers in academia will have opportunities for significant additional funding, either through supplements to their original ACC-F award, or through new awards from the Division.?? Future revisions of this solicitation will expand the scope of this program to other beginning scientists, pending availability of funds. Funding Opportunity Number: 08-541.

Computational neuroscience provides a theoretical foundation and a rich set of technical approaches for understanding the functions of complex neurobiological systems, building on the theory, methods, and findings of computer science, neuroscience, and numerous other disciplines. Through the CRCNS program, participating NSF Directorates and NIH Institutes support innovative interdisciplinary collaborative research to make significant advances in the understanding of nervous system function, mechanisms underlying nervous system disorders, and computational strategies used by the nervous system.Two classes of proposals will be considered in response to this solicitation:Research proposals describing new collaborative research projects, andData sharing proposals to enable sharing of data and other resources.As detailed in the solicitation, appropriate scientific areas of investigations may be related to any of the participating funding organizations. Questions concerning a particular project’s focus, direction and relevance to a participating funding organization should be addressed to the appropriate person in the list of agency contacts found in section VIII of the solicitation. Funding Opportunity Number: 08-514. Assistance Listing: 47.049,47.070,47.074,47.075,93.173,93.242,93.273,93.279,93.286,93.853,93.867. Funding Instrument: G. Category: ST.

The program “Physics of Living Systems” (PoLS) at the National Science Foundation evolved from the successful Biological Physics program, which supported projects that applied analytical and experimental tools of physics to the study of biological problems at the molecular level. PoLS is replacing the Biological Physics program and will target theoretical and experimental research exploring the most fundamental biological processes that living systems utilize to perform their functions in dynamic and diverse environments. PoLS will stimulate those investigations that have the potential to transform the study of living systems.PoLS will encourage research that will emphasize the physical principles of organization and function of living systems, including the exploration of artificial life forms. While the problems under study must be important to advancing our understanding of the living world in a quantitative way, particular emphasis will be placed on those projects in which lessons learned from the biological application also expand the intellectual range of physics. Awards will cover a broad spectrum of physics approaches in biology, ranging from the physical principles and mechanisms at the single cell level such as cellular organization (e.g. cytoskeleton), energy metabolism, gene regulation and intracellular and intercellular communication, to collective behavior and evolution of complexity in life forms and living populations of organisms. This systems approach in physics has been very successful in understanding inanimate systems, and has the potential to bring deep understanding of the world of animated, replicating systems, through falsifiable phenomenological theories. In vitro systems, if necessary for understanding of the physical principles in a living organism, will be supported as well. The program funds individual investigators, although collaborative proposals between physicists and biological researchers are welcome. Funding Opportunity Number: PD-08-7246.

The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) is pleased to invite eligible applicants to submit program ideas to implement the American Cybersecurity Enhancement Program (ACEP) for Thai Entrepreneurs. PDS Bangkok prioritizes selecting the best-qualified proposal from applicants that show clear alignment with and capability to advance shared goals and U.S. government priorities and interests, highlighting U.S. innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Applicants must demonstrate their intent to effectively and efficiently administer U.S. government funds in a way that strengthens the bilateral relationship between the United States and Thailand. This notice is subject to the availability of funding. Goal - The ACEP aims to introduce and leverage American technology, innovation, and standards to improve cybersecurity systems and create a more secure and safer digital environment in Thailand, thereby strengthening partnership between Thailand and the United States. This program will assist and prepare Thai entrepreneurs in mitigating the risks and damages of cyberattacks, stolen data, and financial losses. Objectives - The ACEP focuses on enhancing Thai entrepreneurs’ knowledge and skills in cybersecurity and introducing more secure systems by learning from American approaches and companies. This program also creates opportunities for Thai businesses to gain firsthand experience in implementing advanced cybersecurity measures. It will also encourage and create favorable conditions for U.S. business and economic partnership in Thailand. Target Audience - 45-60 beginning to mid-level entrepreneurs and SMEs that have been in business for 1 to 5 years with an interest in improving data safeguarding and cybersecurity systems. Proposed program activities should demonstrate strong ties to U.S. expertise, technology, and companies. This can include partnerships with U.S. organizations, the involvement of U.S. experts in the project, or collaboration with U.S. businesses Funding Opportunity Number: OFOP0001959.
