NEW Limited Submissions Programs and Strategic Grants
|
| |
Dear Faculty,
Happy summer! Here are the Top-of-the-Month limited submissions and strategic grants highlights for July. All three limited submissions are NSF grants that support students and have rapidly approaching deadlines; in particular, the NSF NRT has an internal deadline on July 29th. Up-to-date information is also available anytime on our SJSU InfoReady Portal (for limited submissions) and via our SJSU Strategic Grants list within Pivot — SJSU’s go-to tool for finding funding. Past “top-of-the month” communications and our monthly AVP for Research email can be found on the Office of Research website under Communications.

Newly Released Limited Submissions & Upcoming Deadlines
|
| |
NSF | National Science Foundation Research Traineeship Program (NRT)
NSF 21-536 Track 1: $3M | Track 2: $2M
Internal SJSU Deadline: July 29, 2022 | Sponsor Deadline: September 6, 2023
The NRT program addresses workforce development, emphasizing broad participation, and institutional capacity building needs in graduate education. The program encourages proposals that involve strategic collaborations with the private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, national laboratories, field stations, teaching and learning centers, informal science centers, and academic partners. Collaborations between NRT proposals and existing NSF INCLUDES projects should strengthen both NRT and INCLUDES projects.
NSF | HSI Program Network Resource Centers and Hubs
NSF 22-602: $3M-$7M
Internal Submission Deadline: August 19, 2022 | Sponsor's Letter of Intent Deadline (required): November 14, 2022 | Deadline: December 15, 2022
This solicitation invites proposals with distinct objectives and goals to the HSI-Net: 1) HSI Program Center for Community Coordination (HSI-CCC); 2) HSI Center for Evaluation, Research and Synthesis (HSI-CERS); and 3)HSI Program Resource Hubs (HSI-Hubs).
Please Note: CSU STEM-Net Direct Frank Gomez (fgomez@calstate.edu) is exploring the submission of a multi-campus HSI-Hub proposal. Please contact him if interested in joining that effort.
NSF | NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM)
NSF 22-527: ≤ $250K
Internal SJSU Deadline: August 19, 2022 | Sponsor Deadline: February 20, 2023
Ultimately, the S-STEM program seeks to increase the number of low-income students who graduate with a S-STEM eligible degree and contribute to the American innovation economy with their STEM knowledge. Recognizing that financial aid alone cannot increase retention and graduation in STEM, the program provides awards to institutions of higher education (IHEs) not only to fund scholarships, but also to adapt, implement, and study evidence-based curricular and co-curricular[1] activities that have been shown to be effective supporting recruitment, retention, transfer (if appropriate), student success, academic/career pathways, and graduation in STEM.
