New Funding Opportunity Seeks to Invest in Additional NSF Regional Innovation Engines

Pending congressional appropriations, the NSF Engines program aims to add additional regions to the 10 inaugural awardees announced earlier this year, expanding innovation potential across the U.S.
In this round of funding, the NSF Engines program is only accepting proposals for full NSF Engines, competing for up to $160 million over 10 years. Proposers will be asked to submit a letter of intent in place of a concept outline and a short preliminary proposal. NSF does not require that proposers have an NSF Engines Development Award nor previous support from NSF or other federal agencies. Any organization that meets the eligibility requirements specified in the funding opportunity may apply.
Proposals must be submitted via Research.gov. Letters of intent are due by June 18 by 5 p.m. submitter’s time.
More information can be found on the NSF Engines program website<https://new.nsf.gov/funding/initiatives/regional-innovation-engines>. Register for the “2024 NSF Engines Funding Opportunity Webinar<https://nsf.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_NyDVacS_QRG7EPhmXs47nA#/registration>” on April 25, 2024 at 2PM ET.

One Scientist Neglected His Grant Reports. Now U.S. Agencies Are Withholding Grants for an Entire University (The Chronicle)

The National Institutes of Health, the Office of Naval Research, and the U.S. Army are withholding all of their grants from the University of California at San Diego because one scientist failed to turn in required final reports for two of his grants, according to a message sent to the campus community on Tuesday… Peek-Asa's message linked to a webpage<https://u2306505.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.HVdtiAQqH-2BBO4EFdv7-2BOci6whLT02VAzBWOv9xuIYSla53r8besyAMXi-2BdmHW1LdM8pvNVjdN0wljMiYiDmrkGIDjfD-2B-2BohXmc6CSGKHW1tv8YYY0NZc1-2FBCMYWYVqKZzK1LqkBQL1-2FmBetrAvNCeNorDSqVEiB-2BVehjnqZEBI5h7OBbDrkoMys0iCWWBoAmrjc-2BAY2tlEbg-2FcLqQEqi-2FA-3D-3DTNkP_KjtStQnkO7CMguDJb8bjqRXN07xK8u9ETzQdf-2FF8BxHFiD1jPNDVoUQDCMjimhuRCcskuAxGDS-2F-2BfrvcldwKwDuSnkwVqKP486AbR729aPv9IEAGo9bhe-2BdGwsdP1-2BMZmQpRb-2FtuvAzN7Gnt4CiGwwVtZlfTSSc-2BGG8QEL63TU4ssN8g3GyzpvoBDhBH9DTwyEbQvwzwGWT6OAWeCQXDY7n-2BmnGVUoM7G0-2B1Jzv9-2BBJ7iAzsqFutlSrLCsJgiMu2QXDIZTRt6o7ppcG08TNgXOBVkPsvac169TAIceUbHJhNgJwrZdYB7bZ2fnnEBjsg> where the federal government posts a spreadsheet of grants for which it believes grantees haven't fulfilled their responsibilities.
