Grants alert (cont.)

ROSES 2021—Earth Surface and Interior (NASA)

Scope: The National Aeronautics and Space

Administration seeks applications for the ROSES

2021—Earth Surface and Interior announcement to use

NASA’s unique capabilities and observational resources

to better understand the structure and dynamics of the

core, mantle, and lithosphere, and interactions between

these processes and Earth’s uid envelopes.

Deadline: June 15, 2021.

Funds: $3 million per year for up to 20 awards. The

maximum project period is three years.

Eligibility: U.S. institutions.

Areas: NASA said the overarching themes of interest

include leveraging advances in technology and associated

data to address new solid-Earth science questions, or

revisit existing paradigms. These themes also include

advancing the understanding of how the solid Earth is

linked to and interacts with the broader Earth system,

including understanding the impact of human activities and

their interaction with the solid-Earth, which can both benet

society and provide avenues for innovative research.

ROSES 2021—Cryospheric Science (NASA)

Scope: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration

seeks applications for the ROSES FY2021—Cryospheric

Science announcement to support investigations of polar

ice, including the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, polar

glaciers, and sea ice in the Arctic and Southern Oceans,

that are based on satellite and airborne remote sensing.

Deadline: July 30, 2021.

Funds: In the rst year, $1.5 million for up to 10 awards.

The maximum project period is three years.

Eligibility: U.S. institutions.

Areas: NASA said this opportunity requests proposals

that use remote sensing data to provide new insights

into the stability of ice shelves of Greenland and

Antarctica in a changing climate, their governing

processes and inter-relationships, specically: surface

processes at the ice shelves (incl. surface mass

balance, surface hydrology, melt water routing); ice

shelf thermodynamic and mechanical behavior (incl.

hydrofracturing, marine ice cliff instability); and ice shelf-

ocean interactions.

SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 and Consequences

of Alcohol Use (NIAAA)

Scope: The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and

Alcoholism seeks (R01) research project grant applications

for the SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 and Consequences of

Alcohol Use announcement to support research grants

to address urgent, time-sensitive research questions

on the relationships between alcohol consumption and

COVID-19-related outcomes and consequences.

Deadline: Letters of Intent, March 14, 2021; proposals,

April 14, 2021.

Funds: Up to $1 million. The maximum project period is

three years.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities; for-prot

organizations, including small businesses; nonprot

organizations; state, local, special district, and Native

American tribal governments; and independent school

districts, among others.

Areas: NIAAA said priority areas for consideration

include but are not limited to: conducting secondary

analyses of COVID-19- and alcohol-related data sets;

determining the inuence of alcohol drinking history,

patterns, amount, and duration on susceptibility to SARS-

CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 prevalence, severity,

progression, and outcomes; determining how alcohol

misuse and alcohol use dependency may contribute to

neurological and psychiatric manifestation of COVID-19,

such as cognitive impairment, sleep disruption, pain,

anxiety, etc.; and characterizing changes in alcohol

consumption levels and patterns during the pandemic

and investigate the pandemic-related causes.

Signal transducers, small molecules-Modulating

opioid, other SUD relevant pathways (NIDA)

Scope: The National Institute on Drug Abuse seeks

(R01) research project grant applications for the High-

throughput Discovery and Validation of Novel Signal

Transducers or Small Molecules that Modulate Opioid

or other Substance Use Disorder Relevant Pathways

announcement.

Deadline: Letters of Intent, Aug. 15, 2021; proposals,

Sept. 15, 2021.

Funds: $3 million in FY22 for two to four awards. The

maximum project period is ve years.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities; for-prot

organizations, including small businesses; nonprot

organizations; state, local, special district, and Native

American tribal governments; and independent school

districts, among others.

Areas: NIDA said applications must propose one or more

aims that exploit a high throughput screening method to

identify novel addiction-relevant signal transduction targets,

genes, or small molecules; and proposed screens must

focus on SUD-relevant signal transduction pathways

including opioid, cannabinoid, dopamine, nicotinic,

or other appropriately justied signaling cascades or

regulatory pathways.
