National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF)
Program: Mojave Desert Tortoise Recovery Partnership 2025 Request for Proposals
Synopsis: Supports projects that produce measurable outcomes for the threatened Mojave desert tortoise in California’s Western Mojave Desert Recovery Unit focal areas. Priority projects will address the leading factors in the Mojave Desert tortoise decline such as habitat alteration and fragmentation, environmental change, and direct tortoise mortality. The primary goal of this program is to marshal resources in a coordinated manner to work to recover the species by protecting Mojave Desert tortoises from reducing or eliminating threats to the tortoise and restoring critical habitat. Conservation activities referenced in NFWF’s Mojave Desert Tortoise Recovery Implementation Plan will be most competitive. Projects that address desert tortoise conservation needs should be located in one or more of the six focal areas in the Western Mojave Recovery Unit as shown in the request for proposals. Successful projects will incorporate multiple approaches to maximize impact for tortoise populations. Priority areas include (partial)
  -  Species monitoring – Support ongoing and new Mojave Desert tortoise monitoring and analysis.
  -  Head-starting and reintroduction – Support efforts to obtain adult tortoises for progeny, captive-rearing of offspring, and reintroduction of tortoises to appropriate locations that are sufficiently protected, maintained, and monitored to augment existing populations.
  -  Demonstration projects for watershed-scale landscape resilience throughout the Mojave Desert Landscape.
Award details: No specific amount stated. Award payments are primarily reimbursable.  Projects may request funds for reimbursement at any time after completing a signed agreement with NFWF.  A request for an advance of funds must be due to an imminent need of expenditure and must detail how the funds will be used and provide justification and a timeline for expected disbursement of these funds. While matching contributions are not required, they are encouraged. Matching Contributions consist of cash, contributed goods and services, volunteer hours, and / or property raised and spent for the Project during the Period of Performance. Larger match ratios and matching fund contributions from a diversity of partners are encouraged and will be more competitive during application review.

Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) / Defense Science Office / Advanced Research Concepts (ARC)
Program: Methodological Advancements for Generalizable Insights into Complex Systems (MAGICS)
NOFO #: DARPA-EA-25-02-05

Synopsis: Supports innovative exploratory research concepts in the technical domain of computational science research in complex, dynamic, evolving systems. This ARC opportunity is soliciting ideas to explore the question: Are there new methods and paradigms for modeling collective human behavior capable of overcoming limits of statistical approaches to accurately predict complex social phenomena and capture the dynamics of evolving, open, time-varying, recursive, reactive, non-ergodic systems?
Areas of interest are described in detail in the solicitation, but, broadly include
  -  Data inference boundaries and limitations

  -  Alignment validation limitations
  -  Adaptation limitations and model obsolescence
  -  Psychosocial domain limitations

  -  Complex phenomena

 ARC Opportunities are designed to allow an individual researcher the opportunity and time to focus on nascent, paradigm-shifting ideas for national security applications. While multiple researchers from the same organization may propose, the aggregate level of effort for a proposed research concept is expected to be equivalent to one full-time equivalent and 12 months, as ARC topics are designed for ideas that nominally would take a full year effort to properly validate.

Award details: Each ARC award's total cost ranges from $100K to $300K, including direct and indirect costs and graduate student tuition, if applicable, for 1 year.
