Grants alert (cont.)

Deadline: Sept. 30, 2020.

Funds: $5.8 million total for up to nine awards.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities.

Areas: NSF said there are two mechanisms for

support of in-service and pre-service K–12 STEM

teachers and full-time community college faculty:

(1) RET supplements to ongoing NSF Directorate

for Engineering and Directorate for Computer and

Information Science and Engineering awards and (2)

new RET Site awards.

Computational and Data-Enabled Science

and Engineering (NSF)

Scope: The National Science Foundation seeks

applications for the Computational and Data-Enabled

Science and Engineering announcement to identify

and capitalize on opportunities for major scientic and

engineering breakthroughs through new computational

and data analysis approaches.

Deadline: Nov. 16, 2020. See the announcement for

division details.

Funds: To be determined.

Eligibility: Unrestricted.

Areas: NSF said areas of research include but are not

limited to those supported through the participating

divisions that address at least one of the following

criteria: promoting the creation, development and

application of the next generation of mathematical,

computational and statistical theories and tools that

are essential for addressing the challenges presented

to the scientic and engineering communities by the

ever-expanding role of computational modeling and

simulation and the explosion and production of digital

experimental and observational data; and promoting and

encouraging integrated research projects that create,

develop and apply novel computational, mathematical

and statistical methods, algorithms, software, data

curation, analysis, visualization and mining tools to

address major, heretofore intractable questions in

core science and engineering disciplines, including

large-scale simulations and analysis of large and

heterogeneous collections of data; among many others.

Human-Environment and Geographical Sciences

Program (NSF)

Scope: The National Science Foundation seeks

applications for the Human-Environment and

Geographical Sciences (HEGS) Program—Doctoral

Dissertation Research Improvement Awards to support

basic scientic research about the nature, causes and/

or consequences of the spatial distribution of human

activity and/or environmental processes across a range

of scales.

Deadline: Proposals are accepted at any time.

Funds: Up to $600,000 for up to 30 awards.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities.

Areas: NSF said projects about a broad range of

topics may be appropriate for support if they enhance

fundamental geographical knowledge, concepts,

theories and methods, and their application to

societal problems and concerns. Recognizing the

breadth of the eld’s contributions to science, the

HEGS Program welcomes proposals for empirically

grounded, theoretically engaged and methodologically

sophisticated geographical research.

Marine Debris Removal (DOC)

Scope: The Commerce Department’s National

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

seeks applications for the FY2021 Marine Debris

Removal announcement to support the development

and implementation of locally driven, marine debris

assessment, removal and prevention projects that

benet coastal habitat, waterways and NOAA trust

resources.

Deadline: Letters of Intent, Sept. 4, 2020; proposals,

Dec. 4, 2020.

Funds: $2.5 million total for up to eight awards ranging

from $25,000 to $250,000.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities; for-prot

organizations; nonprot organizations; and state, local

and Native American tribal governments; among others.

Areas: DOC said the highest program priorities for this

solicitation are the detection and removal of derelict

shing gear, abandoned and derelict vessels, and

medium- to large-scale marine debris that have a

negative impact on NOAA trust resources and important

habitat areas. Derelict shing gear includes but is not

limited to such items as abandoned crab or lobster pots/

traps, shing nets and synthetic (e.g., monolament,

polypropylene) line.
