Program Description 
NSF NQNI responds to national and community research priorities that will advance nanoscale and quantum science and engineering and grow U.S. leadership in critical and emerging technologies. These include quantum technology, semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), manufacturing, biotechnology, and others.

NQNI will provide broad access to domestic QISE research infrastructure as called for in the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-368) and Administration priorities. NSF support for world-class research infrastructure will help U.S. researchers meet the needs of innovative quantum systems.

NSF developed the NQNI program with input on future research infrastructure needs from academia, government, industry, and U.S. National Laboratories. The workshop report, Nanotechnology Infrastructure of the Future (2023, NSF award 2331369), emphasized the need to continue supporting nanotechnology infrastructure; it concluded that such resources are "essential for quantum science and engineering and other emerging national research priorities." The workshop report, Workshop on Quantum Engineering Infrastructure II (2025, NSF award 2405015), affirmed that NSF nanofabrication infrastructure programs are highly valuable for quantum research; it also stated that such infrastructure should support quantum "technologies that require higher-levels of integration, yet have the flexibility to work with emerging platforms."

Purpose
CMS, through its Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ), is accepting applications for cooperative agreements to entities to administer financial incentives, such as loan repayment and stipends, to RNs and LPNs to work in a qualifying nursing home or in an oversight role with a state agency for three years.

CMS will enter into cooperative agreements with organizations, which will become Financial Incentive Administrators (FIAs). These FIAs will identify and accept applications from individuals, who would then receive funds contingent on their working in a qualifying nursing home or state survey agency for three years (with an average of 30 or more hours per week).

In addition, FIAs will coordinate closely with individual states, which will provide additional funding directly to the FIA to increase the number of financial incentives available to recruit nurses in their state, and to gain a deeper understanding of each state’s specific staffing needs. FIAs will also work with other stakeholders, such as nursing homes, associations, or private organizations, which may contribute additional funds to the campaign or identify other ways to enhance the program.

Institutionally Coordinated - The University of Arizona may submit more than one proposal provided that each application is scientifically distinct. This is an Institutionally Coordinated Submission. Only proposals selected through U of A  Competition Space will be authorized for submission.

ORIP's S10 Instrumentation Grant Programs support purchases of state-of-the-art commercially available instruments to enhance research of NIH-funded investigators. Instruments that are awarded are typically too expensive to be obtained by an individual investigator with a research project grant. Every instrument awarded by an S10 grant is to be used on a shared basis, which makes the programs cost-efficient and beneficial to thousands of investigators in hundreds of institutions nationwide.

To be eligible for an S10 award, an institution must identify three or more principal investigators with active NIH research awards who demonstrate a substantial need for the requested instrument. Matching funds are not required. Types of instruments supported by S10 funding include, but are not limited to, X-ray diffraction systems, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and confocal microscopes, cell-analyzers, and biomedical imagers.

Active RFPs are: 

• Basic Instrumentation Grant Program (BIG) – University of Arizona is not eligible
• Shared Instrumentation Grant Program (SIG) – The SIG Program funds grant awards in the $50,000 to $600,000 range.
• High-End Instrumentation Grant Program (HEI) – The HEI Program funds grant awards in the $600,001 to $2,000,000 range.

There is no restriction on the number of applications an institution can submit to the SIG and/or High-End HEI Grant Programs. However, institutional internal coordination is required for concurrent SIG or HEI applications to verify each proposal is requesting different types of equipment.

The number of allowed institutional submissions is no longer limited by the Beckman Foundation. Per the funding opportunity webpage: Institutions are not limited in the number of applicants who apply at the Letter of Intent stage.

Executive Summary 
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor, Office of International Religious Freedom (IRF) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for a program to provide emergency financial assistance to victims of religious persecution and defenders of religious freedom. 

IRF promotes religious freedom as a core objective of U.S. foreign policy that makes America stronger, safer, and more prosperous. IRF’s mission is guided by its statutory mandate established by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (IRF Act) and the Frank Wolf International Religious Freedom Act of 2016 (Wolf Act). The IRF Act provides that it is the policy of the United States, “standing for liberty and standing with the persecuted, to...promote respect for religious freedom by all governments and peoples.” To that end, the Wolf Act calls for the State Department to issue foreign assistance awards to promote respect for religious freedom and combat religious freedom violations.

As declared in President Trump’s Executive Order 13926, the promotion of international religious freedom is a “national security imperative” and “a foreign policy priority of the United States.” Pursuant to that Executive Order, IRF funds foreign assistance programs to “anticipate, prevent, and respond to attacks against individuals and groups on the basis of their religion, including programs designed to help ensure that such groups can persevere as distinct communities; to promote accountability for the perpetrators of such attacks; to ensure equal rights and legal protections for individuals and groups regardless of belief; to improve the safety and security of houses of worship and public spaces for all faiths; and to protect and preserve the cultural heritages of religious communities.”

Information on religious freedom conditions globally can be found in the State Department’s annual International Religious Freedom Report.

Applicants will be responsible for ensuring program activities and products are implemented in accordance with the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution.
