A few changes to note from the previous RFA:

  *   Regular grant applicants can request up to $400,000 for their projects
  *   We will be accepting both education/teaching projects and Community Development projects for Regular Grant consideration in FY2023. See pgs. 9-10 of the RFA for additional details. The Community Development Projects are a new project type in this RFA.

NSF announces solicitation for open-source ecosystems

Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) program supports the facilitation, creation and growth of open-source ecosystems for new, impactful technology solutions

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) published a solicitation for the Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems, or POSE<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAyMDIuNzA5MTg2NjEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2JldGEubnNmLmdvdi9mdW5kaW5nL29wcG9ydHVuaXRpZXMvcGF0aHdheXMtZW5hYmxlLW9wZW4tc291cmNlLWVjb3N5c3RlbXMtcG9zZT91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkifQ.Va9lXwYnXv7c2eqrlJs6Vu-AF5CETzjm4Bc7qVpJMno/s/381559306/br/153920249017-l>, program that aims to harness the power of open-source development as a platform of innovation to address challenges of societal and economic importance.

The expected outcomes of the POSE program are to grow the communities of researchers and innovators who develop and contribute to open-source ecosystems (OSEs), and to enable pathways for the safe and secure development of OSEs that have broad societal and economic impacts. OSEs can emerge from all areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research and innovation.

The POSE program solicitation seeks two types of proposals: teams propose specific activities to scope and plan the establishment of an OSE (Phase I for 1 year and up to $300,000 per project), or establish a sustainable OSE based on a robust open-source product that shows promise in its ability to both meet an emergent societal or economic need and build a community to help develop it (Phase II for 2 years and up to $1.5 million per project).

"This program will ensure more secure open-source products, increased coordination of developer contributions, and a more focused route to impactful technologies," said Barry Johnson, division director for the Division of Translational Impacts within TIP.

Launched by NSF's Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships, or TIP, and in collaboration with all of NSF's other directorates, the POSE program constitutes a pathway to translate scientific and engineering innovations. The program supports managing organizations that will facilitate the creation and growth of sustainable high-impact OSEs around already-developed open-source products, many of which are the result of prior NSF-funded research.

Deadlines for full proposal submissions can be found in the POSE solicitation<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAyMDIuNzA5MTg2NjEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5uc2YuZ292L3B1YnMvMjAyMy9uc2YyMzU1Ni9uc2YyMzU1Ni5odG0_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5In0.o7Y3WPDGOiMIoxoxwA6_DbqkR63KVhKDh85umyqB4o0/s/381559306/br/153920249017-l>.

Cost Scare Share: The Good, the Bad and the Horror!

Please join Research Administrators INC for a 90-minute session focusing on Cost Sharing.

Cost sharing can be a challenge to research administrators, new and old, and it can present a lot of burdens, some may say horror! This webinar is designed to provide an overview and share horror stories and tips for navigating cost share across the lifecycle, including at the proposal, award receipt, award management, and closeout stages.  Attend this webinar to learn from real-life case studies and make cost-sharing less of a nightmare!
This presentation will help attendees define cost sharing, identify the types of cost sharing, explain how cost sharing can go wrong, and touch on best practices and experiences from the presenters' time in research administration.
WHEN:             Thursday, February 23rd from Noon - 1:30PM  (90 minutes)                         To attend this webinar, please register here<http://research.ucr.edu/OrApps/Org/OrgEvents/Default.aspx?g=inc>.

WHERE:            ZOOM Video Conferencing - (The ZOOM invite will be emailed to all registrants on the morning of the event.)

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
*        Participants will be able to apply the principles of the federal Uniform Guidance that govern federal cost-share requirements.
*        Participants will take away "lessons learned" from cost-sharing case studies.
*        Participants will understand the key cost-sharing issues across the lifecycle of an award.

SPEAKERS:
Erin Bailey, Chief Financial Officer, Clinical and Translational Research Institute
University at Buffalo

Jeff Derr, Sponsored Research Manager, Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy
California Institute of Technology

Roseann Luongo
Higher Ed Consulting Director
