Thu Jun 1 15:16:34 MST 2023

Dear Colleagues:

I am writing to highlight a few opportunities that I have become aware of recently. I hope that you can take advantage of at least one of them.

SensorLab Seed Grants - now due June 9th, 2023
The SensorLab Seed Grants are designed to support “sensor-based” research by either supporting innovative and impactful research using sensors or augmenting current research by adding sensors. The award will support up to $50,000 in staff, student wages, consultants, supplies, travel, and equipment/sensors specific to the project to be used in SensorLab.

AstraZeneca is seeking proposals from outstanding final year MD and/or PhD students or Postdoctoral Researchers within three years of receiving their advanced postgraduate degree (MD and/or PhD by 31 December 2023). Candidates may be based anywhere in the world and have an innovative idea that could push the boundaries of science, in AstraZeneca’s focus areas of cardiovascular, renal & metabolic diseases, respiratory & immunology, common infectious and rare diseases. AstraZeneca is also interested in new innovative technologies to improve the development of novel therapeutics and treatment approaches.

Recruiting Reviewers for NSF: Building the Prototype Open Knowledge Network (Proto-OKN) - ASAP
NSF is inviting individuals interested in serving as reviewers for the Building the Prototype Open Knowledge Network (Proto-OKN) Program<https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/building-prototype-open-knowledge-network-proto>. This program is a joint initiative between NSF and five other U.S. government agencies, constituting a $20 million funding opportunity. The objective is to create a prototype open knowledge network – a combined data and knowledge framework. In order to further the vision of an open network and to ensure that the prototype open knowledge network is optimally positioned to address complex societal challenges from climate change to social equity, we aim to engage with professionals across academia, private industry, government agencies, and non-profit foundations, whose work and expertise align with our program objectives. We are particularly interested in individuals who would consider serving as technical reviewers. Should you be interested in acting as an NSF reviewer in one or more of the aforementioned Themes, we kindly request you to complete the survey below and indicate your availability between July 10th and July 28th, 2023.  Please complete this survey even if you are submitting to the Proto-OKN program opportunity. Submitting to the Proto-OKN opportunity will NOT automatically exclude you from being a reviewer! Should you be available to assist, we will delegate you to review proposals from a different Theme and/or panel distinct from where your proposal is submitted.
