NIH and NSF collaborate to release the Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science Program.
The purpose of this interagency program solicitation is to support the development of transformative high-risk, high-reward advances in computer and information science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, behavioral and/or cognitive research to address pressing questions in the biomedical and public health communities. Transformations hinge on scientific and engineering innovations by interdisciplinary teams that develop novel methods to intuitively and intelligently collect, sense, connect, analyze and interpret data from individuals, devices and systems to enable discovery and optimize health. Upcoming proposal deadlines are November 9, 2023, October 3, 2024, and October 3, 2025.

Department of Energy announces up to $500 Million for basic research to advance the frontiers of science.
The funding will advance the priorities of DOE’s Office of Science and its major programs, including Advanced Scientific Computing Research, Basic Energy Sciences, Biological and Environmental Research, Fusion Energy Sciences, High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, Isotope R&D and Production, and Accelerator R&D and Production. The Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), informally known as the “Open Call,” is issued annually at the beginning of each Fiscal Year (FY). It provides a vehicle for the Office of Science to solicit applications for research support in areas not covered by more specific, topical FOAs that are issued by the office in FY 2024. The FOA is entitled FY 2024 Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program.
Details | | | Limited Submission Opportunities | | Description: The Moore Inventor Fellows fellowship focuses on supporting scientist-inventors at a critical prototyping stage to capture opportunities that otherwise might be missed. We seek to provide freedom and support to promising inventors with the most compelling ideas to pursue creative and disruptive innovations. The scope of this call is intentionally wide: proposed projects do not need to fall within our current funding priorities but should be broadly within the program areas of foundation interest (science, environmental conservation and patient care). Patient care inventions should resonate with our focus on improving the experience and outcomes of patients with solutions that improve clinical diagnosis.
Eligibility: Candidates must be faculty, research scientists, postdocs or other full-time staff who can receive funding through their institutions. Candidates must be no more than 10 years past receiving the terminal advanced degree in their field (M.S., Ph.D. or M.D. received on or after 2014).
Limitation: two nominations per institution

Sponsor Concept Paper Deadline: Tuesday, November 14, 2023
Sponsor Deadline: Monday, February 5, 2024 | Description: The purpose of this Healthy Start (HS) program is to improve health outcomes before, during, and after pregnancy, and reduce racial/ethnic differences in rates of infant death and adverse perinatal outcomes. HS is intended to support projects in communities and populations experiencing the greatest disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes.
HS has two focus areas: 1) providing direct and enabling services (for example, screening and referrals, case management and care coordination, health and parenting education, and linkage to clinical care) to enrolled HS participants; and 2) convening Community Consortia (formerly known as Community Action Networks or “CANs”) comprised of diverse, multi-sector partners to advise and inform HS activities as well as to develop and implement plans to improve perinatal outcomes within the selected project area.
Limitation: one application per institution
Internal Submission Deadline: Wednesday, November 1, 2023
Sponsor Deadline: Friday, December 15, 2023 | | Description: The purpose of this solicitation is to broaden participation in innovation ecosystems that advance key technologies (e.g., advanced manufacturing, advanced wireless, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum information science, semiconductors, novel materials, and microelectronics) by supporting capacity-building efforts at institutions of higher education (IHEs) interested in growing external partnerships. Creation of this program is motivated by the commitment of the National Science Foundation (NSF), including the newly established NSF Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP), to accelerate scientific and technological innovation nationwide and empower all Americans to participate in the U.S. research and innovation enterprise.
Limitation: one application per institution
Internal Submission Deadline: Thursday, November 2, 2023
Sponsor Preliminary Proposal Deadline: Friday, December 15, 2023
Sponsor Deadline: Thursday, May 16, 2024 | Description: The Conservation, Food and Health Foundation seeks to protect the environment, improve food production, and promote public health in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East. The Foundation supports projects and applied research that: 1) Generate local or regional solutions to problems affecting the quality of the environment and human life; 2) Advance local leadership and promote professional development in the conservation, agricultural, and health sciences; 3) Develop the capacity of local organizations and coalitions; and 4) Address challenges in the field. The Foundation prefers to support projects that address under-funded issues and geographic areas.
