Looking for funding? Here are some opportunities with upcoming deadlines:
1) Clean Energy Careers For All (CEC4A)
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has launched the Clean Energy Careers for All (CEC4A) program, offering nearly $3 million to educational organizations to develop a diverse clean energy workforce. The program will target K-12 and university students, veterans, academic professionals, and formerly incarcerated individuals. Eligible initiatives will focus on work-based learning opportunities, career coaching, education development, and exposure to clean energy careers, aiming to increase interest and participation in STEM fields.
Deadline: December 13, 2024
2) Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related Injury (R01)
This NOFO from the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers $9.6 million in total funding to support research evaluating programs, practices, or policies aimed at preventing community violence and reducing racial and ethnic inequities, specifically among individuals aged 10-34. The program will fund up to 8 awards, each with a budget of up to $400,000 per year for a three-year period, with a total award cap of $1.2 million. Applicants are encouraged to evaluate new or previously implemented approaches that have not been rigorously tested, focusing on outcomes such as fatal and nonfatal assaults, using data from sources like police records and hospital reports.

Deadline: January 1, 2025
3) ACED: Accelerating Computing-Enabled Scientific Discovery
The National Science Foundation's ACED program aims to advance scientific discovery through computational technologies while fostering novel computing advancements. The program promotes continuous collaboration between researchers in computing—supported by NSF’s Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) directorate—and those in disciplines like Biological Sciences, Engineering, or Mathematical and Physical Sciences. With a total funding cap of $3 million over four years, the ACED program offers two proposal tracks.
Track I: Emerging Ideas supports speculative multidisciplinary projects that explore bold new research directions, offering up to $500,000 for 18-24 months. Proposals are due in 2024.
Track II: Discovery supports transformative research that advances both computing and scientific disciplines, offering up to $750,000 per year for a four-year period, with a total budget of up to $3 million.
Deadline: January 14, 2025
