National Endownment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipends Program 

The NEH Summer Stipends funding opportunity supports individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Faculty members with tenured or tenure-track positions who teach full-time at institutions of higher education must be nominated by their institutions to apply for a 2025 Summer Stipend. Rowan may nominate one faculty member. Given this limitation, we are posting this funding opportunity as a limited submission solicitation.

Pre-proposals must be submitted no later than Friday, August 5th to the Office of Research Development at ORD@rowan.edu. Please review the full details prior to deciding to respond to this call. For more information, contact John Manuel at manuel@rowan.edu.

National Science Foundation National STEM Teacher Corps Pilot Program proposals due October 1, 2024

In response to the CHIPS Act of 2022, the National Science Foundation is establishing the National STEM Teacher Corps Pilot Program. This program will elevate the profession of STEM teaching by recognizing outstanding STEM teachers in our nation’s classrooms, rewarding them for their accomplishments, enhancing their public profile, and creating rewarding career paths to which all STEM teachers can aspire, both to prepare future STEM researchers and to create a scientifically literate public. This program will establish a set of Regional Alliances responsible for recruiting eligible applicants to become members of the National STEM Teacher Corps, screening, interviewing, and selecting members, and supporting other activities.

 

National Science Foundation Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence proposals due October 10, 2024 

Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to support research focused on the most challenging theoretical questions aimed at understanding the capabilities, limitations, and emerging properties of AI methods as well as the development of novel, mathematically grounded design and analysis principles for the current and next generations of AI.

 

National Science Foundation released new Cyber-Physical Systems Program solicitation

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computation and physical components. New, smart CPS drive innovation and competition in a range of application domains including agriculture, aeronautics, building design, civil infrastructure, energy, environmental quality, healthcare and personalized medicine, manufacturing, and transportation. The integration of artificial intelligence with CPS, especially for real-time operation, creates new research opportunities with major societal implications. The CPS program aims to develop the core research needed to engineer complex CPS, some of which may also require dependable, high-confidence, or provable behaviors. Core research areas of the program include control, data analytics, and machine learning  including real-time learning for control, autonomy, design, Internet of Things (IoT), mixed initiatives including human-in- or human-on-the-loop, networking, privacy, real-time systems, safety, security, and verification. The program seeks to reveal cross-cutting, fundamental scientific and engineering principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements across all application domains and fosters a research community committed to advancing education and outreach in CPS and accelerating the transition of CPS research into the real world.
