16-537 Enhancing Access to the Radio Spectrum
The National Science Foundation's Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), Engineering (ENG), and Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) are coordinating efforts to identify bold new concepts with the potential to contribute towards significant improvements in the efficiency of radio spectrum utilization, protection of passive sensing services, and the ability for traditionally underserved Americans to benefit from current and future wireless-enabled goods and services.
DE-FOA-0001531 Regional and Global Climate Modeling and Integrated Assessment Research: An Integration Framework for Multi-Model, U.S. Regional Climate Evaluation that Incorporates Local Human Influences for Research at the Energy-Water-Land Nexus
This FOA seeks to enhance the predictive understanding and modeling of climate variability and change by advancing capabilities to design, evaluate, diagnose, and analyze global and regional earth system model simulations informed by observations.
DE-FOA-0001530 Climate Model Development and Validation
This FOA solicits university and other non-DOE-Laboratory investigators to participate as collaborators in team projects led by DOE National Laboratories that will work in an end-to-end manner between measurements and modeling, and across scales from local and/or regional to global, in order to improve the fidelity of global climate model simulations, with a view to enhanced predictability and address critical climate science challenges.
16-535 Expeditions in Computing
The Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) has created the Expeditions in Computing (Expeditions) program to provide the CISE research and education community with the opportunity to pursue ambitious, fundamental research agendas that promise to define the future of computing and information.
DE-FOA-0001512 Request for Information (RFI) DE-FOA-0001512: Accounting Conventions for Non-Combustible Renewable Energy
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to the proposed modification to the accounting of renewable energy (RE) source energy. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) proposes to replace the “fossil-fuel equivalency” approach with the alternative “captured energy” (view link for more information) This would impact the site-to-source ratios used in analyses that inform EERE reports, standards, and evaluations. This methodological choice is important as renewable generation continues to grow and accounts for more significant portions of the nation’s electricity production.
EPA-G2016-ORD-B1 National Priorities: Impacts of Water Conservation on Water Quality in Premise Plumbing and Water Distribution Systems
EPA is issuing this Request for Applications (RFA) to fund research into issues of water quality and availability related to distribution systems and premise plumbing systems under lower-flow conditions.
Dear Colleague Letter: Mathematical Sciences Funding Opportunities in Sustainable Infrastructure
The Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) participates in the array of National Science Foundation programs supporting fundamental research that aims to advance knowledge and to create tools for strengthening sustainable infrastructure. A natural way for mathematicians and statisticians to become involved in such work is by lending mathematical sciences expertise to interdisciplinary teams of researchers engaging in collaborative research projects in these important areas.
Funding areas include: 1) innovations at the nexus of food, energy and water systems 2) Risk and resilience and 3) global change and earth systems modeling. Additional opportunities can be found at the Mathematical Sciences Innovation Incubator (MSII) website -

NOAA Sea Grant Aquaculture Research Program 2016 FFO
Depending on the availability of funds, NOAA Sea Grant expects to have up to $3,000,000 available for a national competition to fund new FY 2016 aquaculture research projects.This is part of the overall plan to support the development of environmentally and economically sustainable ocean, coastal, or Great Lakes aquaculture.Topical priorities for this FY 2016 competition are, briefly: a) Research to inform pending, regulatory decisions regarding aquaculture on the local, state, or federal level leading to an information product—such as tool, technology, template, or model—needed to make final decisions on a specific question; b) Research that supports the introduction, and/or increase in production of new and emerging species of aquaculture interest; c) Research that supports continued seafood safety and product quality; and d) Social and/or economic research targeted to understand aquaculture issues in a larger context.Applicants must describe how their proposed work will rapidly and significantly advance U.S. aquaculture development in the short term (1-2 years after project completion).
Eligibility:Institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, State, local and Indian tribal governments are eligible.Federal agencies and their personnel are not permitted to receive federal funding under this competition; however, federal scientists can serve as uncompensated partners or co-Principal Investigators on proposals.Directors of the state Sea Grant Programs are not eligible to compete for funds under this announcement.
Deadlines:Pre-proposals must be received by electronic mail to the National Sea Grant Office by5:00 p.m.Eastern Time on March 10, 2016.
