Title: Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention (NEPQR) Simulation Education Training (SET) Program
Limited Submission Internal Deadline: 05/01/2020
Application Deadline: 06/01/2020

The purpose of this program is to enhance nurse education and strengthen the nursing workforce through the expansion of experiential learning opportunities. This includes using simulation-based technology, including equipment, to advance the health of patients, families, and communities in rural and medically underserved areas experiencing diseases and conditions that affect public health such as: high burden of stroke, heart disease, behavioral and mental health, maternal mortality, HIV/AIDS, and/or obesity.

Funding Agency: Moore Foundation
Title: Development of Clinical Quality Measures to Improve Diagnosis
Application Deadline: 06/30/2020

To align with the foundation’s principles of supporting work that is important, measurable, and impactful, we have identified three categories of disease that comprise the most common and most harmful diagnostic errors, including acute vascular events (such as stroke and myocardial infarction), infections (such as sepsis and pneumonia), and cancer (such as lung and colorectal cancer). Proposals must relate to one or more of these three broad categories.

Title: National Centers for Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NCBIB) (P41 Clinical Trials Optional)
LOI Deadline: 07/30/2020 (LOI required 12 weeks before application deadline)
Application Deadline: 09/25/2020

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages grant applications for Biomedical Technology Resource Centers (BTRCs). BTRCs are national resource centers for conducting research and development on new technologies that are driven by the needs of basic, translational, and/or clinical researchers. BTRCs also make their technologies available to other investigators, train members of the research community in the use of the technologies, and disseminate the technologies broadly.

Funding Agency: Department of Defense (DARPA)
Title: Artificial Intelligence Exploration (AIE) Opportunity: Techniques for Machine Vision Disruption
Application Deadline: 05/14/2020

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is issuing a new Artificial Intelligence Exploration (AIE) Opportunity entitled Techniques for Machine Vision Disruption (TMVD), which invites submissions of innovative basic or applied research concepts in the technical domain of disrupting machine vision systems without detailed knowledge of their internal architecture or how they were trained.

Funding Agency: National Science Foundation (NSF)
Title: NSF Program on Fairness in Artificial Intelligence in Collaboration with Amazon (FAI)
Application Deadline: 07/13/2020

NSF and Amazon are partnering to jointly support computational research focused on fairness in AI, with the goal of contributing to trustworthy AI systems that are readily accepted and deployed to tackle grand challenges facing society. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to transparency, explainability, accountability, potential adverse biases and effects, mitigation strategies, algorithmic advances, fairness objectives, validation of fairness, and advances in broad accessibility and utility. Funded projects will enable broadened acceptance of AI systems, helping the U.S. further capitalize on the potential of AI technologies.

Title: Dear Colleague Letter: Enabling Quantum Computing Platform Access for National Science Foundation Researchers with Amazon Web Services, IBM, and Microsoft Quantum
Application Deadline: 06/18/2020

Supplemental funding requests will be limited to research activities in one or more of the following research area(s):

• Quantum algorithms and their experimental realization;
• Quantum compiler and run-time infrastructure design;
• Fault-tolerant computing and other methods to boost the performance of existing quantum-computing hardware;
• Benchmarking of architectures, systems, algorithms, and scalable error-correction techniques;
• Quantum simulations, optimizations, cryptography, and machine learning; and
• Demonstrations of feasibility for applications of quantum algorithms.

Funding Agency: Department of Energy (DOE)
Title: Coal-Derived Materials for Building, Infrastructure and Other Applications
Application Deadline: 07/14/2020

The overall objective of the FOA is to support the development of value-added products from coal. This will be accomplished through the research and development of coal-derived components for residential, commercial, and infrastructure applications. Another path to developing value-added products from coal is the production of high-value specialty products, as well as research and development of technologies capable of producing carbon-based building materials using a continuous, rather than batch, manufacturing process. The FOA will also support the design, R&D, and validation of a prototype carbon-based building.

Funding Agency: AXA Research Fund
Title: Mitigating risks in the wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic
