The NSF requests proposals to the Fire Science Innovations through Research and Education (FIRE) program.
This program seeks to promote integrated research and education in the field of wildland fire science. The FIRE program supports work across 3 focus areas: 1.) Next Generation Coupled Fire Models (FIRE-MODEL), 2.) Enhancing Capacity for Fire Resilience in the Wildland-Urban Interface (FIRE-WUI), and 3.) Fire Science Innovations through Research and Education (FIRE) Networks (FIRE-NET).
The Whitehall Foundation seeks proposals for Research Grants in neurobiology.
The Whitehall Foundation focuses on fundamental research in neurobiology, including both invertebrate and vertebrate studies (excluding clinical aspects). The primary aim is to enhance understanding of behavioral outcomes or brain mechanisms underlying behavior. Research primarily centered on diseases is not supported unless it also provides insights into normal functioning. Note: The Foundation funds investigators without substantial extramural funding. | | | Limited Submission Opportunities | | Description: The Huo Family Foundation invites applications for special projects. These larger and longer-term research awards would allow researchers of all career stages, collaborating as a multi-disciplinary team with different expertise and skills, to take an integrated approach to tackle the more difficult questions in this domain. Proposals should be tackling key questions within the broad topic of the effects of usage of and exposure to digital technologies on brain development and function (including physiological responses), social behavior and interactions, and mental health of children and young people.
Limitation: one application per institution
Internal Submission Deadline: Monday, April 14, 2025
Sponsor Deadline: Friday, May 23, 2025
| Description: This program is designed to support high-risk, high-reward projects that address critical scientific and therapeutic roadblocks. If successful, these projects will have high impact outcomes that open new avenues for treating, curing, and improving the lives of individuals suffering from disease. The Program has three principal areas of focus: 1) Identification of biological markers of disease activity and progression, 2) Identification of targets for therapeutic interventions, and 3) Development of therapeutic agents that will disrupt, arrest, or prevent the disease process.
Limitation: two applications per institution
Internal Submission Deadline: Tuesday, April 22, 2025
Sponsor Deadline: Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 1:00pm
