Submissions for Basic Biomedical Science Funding Due Soon
The HEALTH Research Institute was established at the University of Houston to address the health challenges faced by our communities by leveraging transdisciplinary team science to provide innovative, empirically-grounded, culturally-informed and community-embedded solutions. Our goal is to become a model for advancing transdisciplinary health science through strong partnerships with communities, organizations, and other key stakeholders.
The purpose of the pilot research program is to strategically seed feasibility and proof of concept studies that will lead to the development of novel findings that address one or more health challenges faced by our local, state, or national communities. This request for pilot project applications is intended to expand the HEALTH Research Institute in the area of basic biomedical science.

Title: Advanced Computing Systems & Services: Adapting to the Rapid Evolution of Science and Engineering Research
Internal Deadline: 8/6/19
Proposal Deadline: 11/5/19
The intent of this solicitation is to request proposals from organizations willing to serve as service providers (SPs) within the NSF Innovative High-Performance Computing (HPC) program to provide advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) capabilities and/or services in production operations to support the full range of computational- and data-intensive research across all of science and engineering (S&E).
The current solicitation is intended to complement previous NSF investments in advanced computational infrastructure by provisioning resources, broadly defined in this solicitation to include systems and/or services, in two categories: Category I, Capacity Systems: production computational resources maximizing the capacity provided to support the broad range of computation and data analytics needs in S&E research; and Category II, Innovative Prototypes/Testbeds: innovative forward-looking capabilities deploying novel technologies, architectures, usage modes, etc., and exploring new target applications, methods, and paradigms for S&E discoveries.

Title: ROSES 2019: Studies with ICESat-2
NOI Deadline: 8/1/19
Proposal Deadline: 10/8/19
NASA solicits proposals for Earth science research using observations from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2), which was launched on September 15, 2018. The Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instrument on ICESat-2 is the most advanced, highest-resolution altimetry instrument ever placed in Earth orbit.
ATLAS is a photon-counting LIDAR with six beams and ICESat-2's near-polar orbit is optimized to enable it to characterize elevation changes in Earth’s polar ice. The mission collects measurements globally – away from the poles – particularly to enable independent determination of vegetation height, but also to support research in hydrology, oceanography, atmospheric sciences, and other Earth and applied sciences.

Title: Development of Microgravity Food Production: Plant Watering, Volume Management, and Novel Plant Research on the International Space Station
Step 1 Deadline: 7/5/19
Step 2 Deadline: 9/26/19
This Space Biology Appendix to ROSBio-2018 represents a collaboration between NASA’s Space Life and Physical Science Research and Applications Division (SLPSRAD) and NASA’s Advanced Exploration Systems (AES). The goal of this collaboration is to solicit research and development (R&D) projects that will lead to the development of a more reliable water and nutrient delivery approach/concept for growing edible pick-and-eat plants for multiple generations in microgravity, that will eventually lead to new hardware.
Through this solicitation, NASA seeks proposals for the integrated research and development of: 1) Edible Plant Water and Nutrient Delivery Systems for Microgravity Spaceflight that will provide sufficiently uniform wetting of the roots, avoid the release of free water, and maintain sufficient aeration and oxygen; and 2) Edible Plant Spacing Systems that will optimize the use of plant-growing volume in space.
