Description: The National Science Foundation seeks proposals for grant funding as part of the Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) Program, designed to encourage development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative approaches to STEM graduate education training. The program supports piloting, testing, and validating novel models or activities and examining systemic innovations with high potential to enrich and extend the knowledge base on effective graduate education approaches. The program addresses both workforce development, emphasizing broad participation, and institutional capacity-building needs in graduate education. Strategic collaborations with the private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, national laboratories, field stations, teaching and learning centers, informal science organizations, and academic partners are encouraged. Awards range from $300,000 to $1,000,000.

Description: The Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian (ANNH) Program provides grants to eligible institutions of higher education (IHEs) to enable them to improve and expand their capacity to serve Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian students. Grant funds may be used to plan, develop, or implement activities that strengthen the institution. Through the FY 2024 ANNH competitive preference priorities, the Department encourages projects that are designed to reduce disparities in college access and completion among Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian students by addressing students' social, emotional, and academic needs, as well as projects designed to increase access and success in postsecondary education.

Funder: NSF, in partnership with DHS and DOE

​

Description: NSF seeks proposals for projects that address community-challenges identified via tight collaboration between civic and academic partners, with the goal of achieving concrete impacts in the communities. This round of CIVIC is centered around two tracks:
Track A: Climate and Environmental Instability - Building Resilient Communities through Co-Design, Adaption, and Mitigation
Track B: Bridging the Gap between Essential Resources and Services & Community Needs

​

Description: USDE seeks applications for the GEAR UP program, a discretionary grant program that encourages eligible entities to provide support and maintain a commitment to eligible students from low-income backgrounds, including students with disabilities. Under this solicitation, the Department will award grants partnerships consisting of at least one degree-granting institution of higher education (IHE) and at least one local educational agency (LEA), to assist the students in obtaining a secondary school diploma (or its recognized equivalent) and to prepare for and succeed in postsecondary education.

Activities must include providing financial aid information for postsecondary education, encouraging enrollment in rigorous and challenging coursework in order to reduce the need for remediation at the postsecondary education level, and implementing activities to improve the number of participating students who obtain a secondary school diploma and who complete applications for and enroll in a program of postsecondary education. Activities may also include mentoring; tutoring; supporting dual or concurrent enrollment programs; providing special programs or tutoring in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM); academic and career counseling; financial and economic literacy education; and exposure to college campuses.

Description: The MHSP Program provides competitive grants to support and demonstrate innovative partnerships to train school-based mental health services providers for employment in schools and local educational agencies (LEAs). The goal of this program is to increase the number and diversity of high-quality, trained providers available to address the shortages of mental health services professionals in schools served by high-need LEAs. In addition to the placement of graduate students in school-based mental health fields into high-need schools served by the participating high-need LEAs, grantees may also develop mental health career pathways as early as secondary school, through career and technical education opportunities, or through paraprofessional support degree programs at local community or technical colleges.

Description: The Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Computing in Undergraduate Education (IUSE: CUE) program aims to better prepare a wider, more diverse range of students to collaboratively use computation across a range of contexts and challenging problems. With this solicitation, IUSE: CUE invites proposals for partnerships to re-envision how to teach computing effectively in a scalable manner focusing on those undergraduate students from groups underserved by traditional computing courses and careers. Proposals will be funded across three tracks that focus on evidence-based transformative efforts to modernize computing courses and accelerate student success in the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of current and emerging industries, and/or explore effective pathways to computing degrees and careers that involve two-year colleges and industry partnerships. NSF anticipates awarding three to six grants totaling $7,5000,000.
