Kickstart Facility Grant Program | Ohio State Kickstart Facility Grant Program The Ohio State University Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research invites proposals to its Kickstart Facility Grant Program. The Ohio State University Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research (IMR) invites proposals to its Kickstart Facility Grant Program.
IMR Kickstart Facility Grants make shared campus research facilities more accessible to demonstrate materials-related research results with the goal of strengthening near- term research proposals for external support.
Preference is given to research conducted in one of IMR’s core materials research facilities, including: Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME) Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS) Nanosystems Laboratory (NSL) Nanotech West Laboratory (NTW) Semiconductor Epitaxy and Analysis Laboratory (SEAL) AFM Core Facility in Scott Laboratory W374B Request for Proposals: Kickstart Facility Grants Spring 2025 Proposal Form: Kickstart Facility Grants Spring 2025 Each grant provides $2,500 to offset the cost of user fees and access fees associated with participating facilities.
Available to non-tenured faculty (regular and research), with special consideration given to new faculty within 5 years of appointment; senior research staff with Principal Investigator status at Ohio State; and postdoctoral researchers who wish to perform research independent of their current advisor, as a path towards a future independent academic career.
This is an excellent training opportunity for post-candidacy graduate students, fellows, and postdoctoral fellows to co-author proposals, and we encourage faculty to engage their students and staff in their proposal development.
To support research aligned with one or more of IMR’s Signature Areas and Strategic Themes Request for Proposals Release: Tuesday, April 8, 2025 Submission Deadline: Friday, May 9, 2025 at 5:00 PM Submit your application as an email attachment in PDF format to Joanna Gardner at gardner. 306@osu.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I. For Phase I, all applicants must submit Preliminary Proposals by the September 20th deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity. For Phase II, only selected applicants will be invited to submit Full Proposals, and only those Invited Full Proposals will be considered for funding. Invited Full Proposals will be due March 20, 2024. Funding Opportunity Number: NLG-LIBRARIES-FY24. Assistance Listing: 45.312. Funding Instrument: G. Category: AR,HU. Award Amount: $50K – $1M per award.
The California Department of Education (CDE) Early Education Division is making approximately .7 million available to expand California State Preschool Program (CSPP) services statewide, appropriated under the 2021 Budget Act. Eligible applicants are local educational agencies (LEAs), including school districts, county offices of education, community college districts, and direct-funded charter schools—both current CSPP contractors and new applicants. Funding supports full-day/full-year or part-day/part-year preschool services for income-eligible children beginning in FY 2024–25. Awards are allocated by county based on Local Planning Council priority areas and application scores, with redistribution provisions if county allocations are underutilized.
