Funding Opportunities

As funding opportunities are announced and shared with the Office for Research & Graduate Education we will compile a full list of opportunities on our website. This page will be updated periodically as new opportunities are discovered

Rapid Response to Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)<https://nifa.usda.gov/funding-opportunity/agriculture-and-food-research-initiative-foundational-applied-science-program> Impacts Across Food and Agricultural Systems Program Area<https://nifa.usda.gov/funding-opportunity/agriculture-and-food-research-initiative-foundational-applied-science-program>

This program area priority addresses the need to develop and deploy rapid, reliable, and readily adoptable strategies across the food and agriculture enterprise in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Strategies should mitigate urgent threats from the COVID19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) and ensure the availability of an accessible, safe, nutritious, and abundant food supply. Can be local, regional, or national in scope and should employ interdisciplinary teams.
Deadline: June 4, 2020

2020 NSF Convergence Accelerator Phase I and II Program<https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2020/nsf20565/nsf20565.pdf>

This program promotes use-inspired, convergence research in areas of national importance via partnerships between academic and non-academic stakeholders. This solicitation seeks to support and facilitate research that advances ideas from concept to deliverables in two overall convergence topics (tracks). The 2020 NSF Convergence Accelerator tracks are related to both Industries of the Future (IotF), and NSF's Big Ideas.
Deadline for Preliminary Proposals: May 11, 2020

CFAES Virtual Poster Competition - Live!<https://grad.cfaes.ohio-state.edu/current-students/2020-poster-competition>

In lieu of an in person poster showing, we have moved all of our posters online for the 2020 competition. Our researchers have worked incredibly hard putting together these posters and supplemental audio and video narrations. To show support of our researchers during this time, we are challenging all CFAES faculty, staff, and graduate students to view and provide comments or questions on 3 research posters prior to May 15 (when posters will be taken down). This feedback is highly valued by our poster authors and we know you will enjoy seeing the various research projects going on at the college. We will provide periodic updates about participation until the May 15 deadline has passed. If you have any questions about the virtual poster competition, please contact Kayla Arnold<mailto:arnold.1065 at osu.edu?subject=CFAES%20Virtual%20Poster%20Competition%20>.

Use EngageOSU to Find University Collaborators<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ohio-state.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9f146adc0225d6631b9cddd4b&id=2aaa48ce8f&e=621077d56a__;!!KGKeukY!lIyJ0P9528GCGs_8NOcdMOe0Y36tGbtCvMAQbEVNH2wI-lMJweuOg5Q0DoMP9MSleY4$>

EngageOSU is an online portal into the research portfolio of Ohio State University. It enables users to search the entire scope of OSU research expertise in all fields from all Ohio State campuses. A variety of search functionalities are available (i.e., Boolean, fuzzy, proximity). The results list provides a list of faculty members with their associated research productivity - number of collaborators, articles, books, grants, etc. Clicking on the faculty name in the return list provides a visual representation of their collaborators and the OSU program with which they are associated. Clicking on the blue person icon provides a word cloud and the details on research productivity as well as contact information.

NIFA FAQ Regarding New Agency Flexibility<https://nifa.usda.gov/resource/nifa-20-005-nifa-coronavirus-faqs?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term=>

NIFA published a set of frequently asked questions regarding new agency flexibilities that may help our partners cope with current social distancing efforts taking place across the country. The document states that awardees are authorized to continue to charge salaries, stipends, and benefits to currently active USDA NIFA awards consistent with the recipient's policy of paying salaries (under unexpected or extraordinary circumstances) from all funding sources, Federal and non-Federal. This includes both "competitive" and "capacity" funds. Further, it provides instructions to project directors if a project cannot work towards its science objectives during this time and what they should do if a competitively awarded project cannot be completed within its original time frame or budget.

NIH & NSF Coronavirus Resource Pages

NIH & NSF have both developed Coronavirus resource websites for the research community. The NIH site<https://grants.nih.gov/policy/natural-disasters/corona-virus.htm> includes proposer and awardee guidance; information on human subjects, clinical trials, animal welfare; and funding opportunities related to COVID-19. The NSF site<https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/coronavirus/> houses CDC guidance and Department of State travel information, proposer and awardee guidance, and funding opportunity information.
