The NSF requests proposals for the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) Program.
The AISL Program is committed to funding research and practice, with continued focus on investigating a range of informal STEM learning (ISL) experiences and environments that make lifelong learning a reality. This program seeks proposals that center engagement, broadening participation, and belonging, and further the well-being of individuals and communities who have been and continue to be excluded, underserved, or underrepresented in STEM along several dimensions.
The DOD Glioblastoma Research Program (GBMRP) is requesting pre-applications.
The GBMRP works to promote rigorous, high-impact research to drive scientific discovery and advances in diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for patients with glioblastoma. This program has two mechanisms: the Resource Development Award and the Hypothesis Development Award. | | Limited Submission Opportunities | | Description: The DOE Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DOE EPSCoR) announces its interest in receiving new and renewal applications from applicants within eligible jurisdictions for Implementation Grants.
