The matrix uses locations, participants, and types of activity risks to determine the overall risk of each study.

Please note:
·     As usual, lab PIs must obtain approval from the Institutional Review Board<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqO4JtAGrS10RX3U732JAuVJVFWmdqgOGx9KOXoiDMM-PbTuK-eNagN5iMMJxQgYsTeOfmgTjKwqaqJgo4XfUYWiqgM8RasbiZbN56vr-nazE&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==> (IRB) before conducting the study. If the study has already been approved and not expired, and will be implementing no modifications, then no new approval from the IRB is needed.
·     PIs must submit Work Site Specific Plans<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqJH6weReS8jzJcqOxKLiyxv86fBzwgTlrO5WZjOCzqWDFLCJRXmwS1eYEK5igDrfdTdSVNU27aAjfpBEF9wS_BkaN5Byv33azNRqZo_sJHaKpVTTFI0jMpCU44m7upAwhYgAgTz9BUfM&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==> to Environmental Health and Safety for approval.
·     All involved in the study must wear facemasks, practice physical distancing as described in the matrix, and have access to cleaning and hand washing supplies.
·     All participants will have to fill out a daily Research Human Subject Wellness Survey<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqJH6weReS8jzF0NviOAqgyDUumK7Ld50krRpoQPRHdx0LPL02DrJcHkvxNFYV7NjHaUq_gYejHHJizw-gSKsZIBeFyfJASPRxGd0Cahpfhs42Z-mYgCfR0KGHEJerupcmsChSOMyjpfbUaqS0mxW8sg=&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==> for each day of the study.
·     When possible, researchers must opt for phone/video sessions in place of in-person study visits.
·     Researchers are strongly encouraged to use study areas that accommodate physical distancing.

OASIS: Opportunities to Advance Sustainability, Innovation, and Social Inclusion
We have been conducting extensive conversations in several internal and external fora about our economic development plan OASIS. As you may have heard already, the OASIS Hub is a regional economic development initiative envisioned as a combination of research laboratories, technology incubator, training facilities, and community spaces dispersed around the region that will catalyze research partnerships, technology transfer, and the creation and attraction to the region of innovation-based companies. OASIS aims to anchor a cluster of diverse and strategic stakeholders, including the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the County and City of Riverside, and other community partners to activate and accelerate the growth of innovation clusters around clean logistics, agriculture, air quality and resource management, and address health disparity and other economic and social needs of the Inland Empire. We have now secured the assistant of Brailsford and Dunlavey (B&D), a nationally recognized development and management advisory services firm, to support us on the first phase of this important project. B&D has previously worked on planning efforts for UC Riverside and has extensive experience engaging with other universities on similar projects, such as the OASIS Hub. Please be alert for a soon upcoming townhall meeting at which we will provide additional information and hope to receive further feedback from our campus community.

UC-National Laboratory Southern California Hub (SoCal Hub)
Collaborations between UC faculty and colleagues at UC managed national laboratories span many different science and engineering disciplines. In the past, these collaborations have led to many high-profile science breakthroughs, yet the breadth and depth of these interactions have been limited by institutional barriers and physical distance, particularly for UC campuses in Southern California. Last year, in partnership with UCOP National Laboratory Office (UCNL) and the two UC managed NNSA laboratories (Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), the Irvine, Los Angeles, and San Diego UC campuses proposed a UCNL- SoCal Hub framework to sustain and expand critical campus-Laboratory collaborations. The vision for the Hub is to build/enhance collaborative networks between the UC managed National Labs and the UC campuses in the southern part of the state through a series of coordinated activities, e.g. workshops, working groups, strategic visits, and proposal development, which engage faculty and staff on high impact research collaborations, provide new training, education and career opportunities, and facilitate the development of strong pipelines with special attention to diversity and inclusion, from the southern California universities into the UC managed national laboratories.

I am very excited to report that UC Riverside has now been included as a full partner in the SoCal Hub with great enthusiasm from the existing partners. I am also very grateful that Professors Amit Roy-Chowdhury and Srikanth Krishnamurthy, co-directors of NC4: Center for Networked Configurable Command, Control and Communications for Rapid Situational Awareness<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqJH6weReS8jzNAR3lUwDbQ0t6SoQpXoKTUbCI3WkMmJASa_hn6tC3Al368vW4tasDQc9PrkRU8SXbFfoPI2ZcTk=&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==>, have kindly agreed to be our faculty representatives in the governance of SoCal Hub, which also includes the VCRs of the four UC campuses involved and the directors of the national labs. UCR will be responsible for organizing one of the workshops for this coming year. Please stay tuned for further information as this new opportunity for research and collaboration develops.

Sponsored Programs Update

NSF NEWS

Effective today, the National Science Foundation (NSF) added functionality to enable Principal Investigators (PIs) to remove publications both from the NSF Public Access Repository (NSF-PAR) and from in-progress project reports in the Research.gov Project Reporting System without assistance from the NSF Help Desk. Streamlining this process helps to reduce administrative burden for both PIs and NSF staff and improves NSF-PAR and project report data quality. There are no changes to NSF’s Public Access policy or project reporting requirements.

Here's what you need to know:

NSF-PAR Publication Removals
·     Only the PI or co-PI who initially deposited a publication or associated an NSF award to a deposited publication can disassociate an NSF award from a publication in NSF-PAR.

In-progress Project Report Publication Removals
·     Only the PI or co-PI who initially deposited a publication or associated an NSF award to a deposited publication in NSF-PAR can remove the publication from a related in-progress project report in the Research.gov Project Reporting System.
·     Publications cannot be removed from approved project reports or from submitted project reports that are awaiting NSF review and approval.
·     Removing a publication from an in-progress project report in Research.gov does not remove the publication from NSF-PAR.
·     Research.gov processes NSF-PAR publication updates within six hours. After NSF-PAR removal information has been processed in Research.gov, an in-progress project report that still includes a publication removed from NSF-PAR will have a visual indicator reminding the PI or co-PI to delete the publication from the project report.

Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World is a new international funding opportunity supporting social, behavioral and economic science research on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organized through the Trans-Atlantic Platform, the endeavor is a partnership between the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences and scientific funding agencies in 11 other countries.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has affected so many aspects of our lives, challenging people and families around the world. It raises new questions about social and behavioral aspects of public health, the economy, education and more,” says Arthur Lupia, head of NSF’s Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences. “Social science research on an international scale can improve our understanding of the pandemic’s effects and accelerate a robust recovery for communities large and small.”

Proposals must be submitted by July 12, 2021 through the Trans-Atlantic Platform’s website<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqJH6weReS8jzMS_NlTDV-mup8xzH2DDv2FGWJQF2JHkeLOG6KhovSEyNjvR7nwYUWNFuolLdcc3XDFJasDz_Z7HiYYAVRT0oFndcsIK0VwhKz7gwxC3YnmVDrhwlfoMfjQXLdmuZbCZHsf1EQtVIrEqyqhXY1EOfqbJyJzvqAnH-af8JnwD_imzcUrFVwEbdZV2hq9Jb7i8KPRc4f5NqWygS71Ng4VDq4uujHJ51LIYdVMldod83GUz-HgTzSXIb9w==&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==>.

MCB gives high priority to research projects that use theory, methods, and technologies from life and physical sciences, mathematics, computational sciences, and engineering to address major biological questions that elucidate the rules governing subcellular and cellular processes. Research supported by MCB uses a range of experimental and computational approaches—including in vivo, in vitro and in silico strategies—and a broad spectrum of model and non-model organisms, including microbes and plants. Typical research supported by MCB integrates theory and experimentation. Projects are particularly welcome that address the emerging areas of: multi-scale integration; transformative methods and resources (when driven by compelling biological questions); molecular and cellular evolution; the synthesis of lifelike systems; and the quantitative prediction of the phenome from genomic information. Highest funding priority is given to applications that have outstanding intellectual merit and strong broader impacts, while proposals with weaknesses in either category (or those that are perceived as likely to have an incremental impact) will not be competitive. Proposals that are motivated by relevance to human health and disease treatment are not appropriate for the Division and will be returned without review.





Launching Early-Career Academic Pathways in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (LEAPS-MPS)

Deadline for Submission: June 14, 2021

Please see https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?WT.z_pims_id=505892&ods_key=nsf21570<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqJH6weReS8jzlBwF7Bdl2t53OIQacRgMWn3m13YI3Y2hDrIErTYyaDneDyVTdWkBz-KwrSIHz9ZZCS-572cjfaJMye0-9TYrHoODWVNPAYoECnKi-WWbDPYlyprOsEIgfl3UZlrI_bxjTfarkVSyz0AlooYB0jzd50d7q7SR3kunZScM05MsjnY=&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==> for details.

With emphasis in helping to launch the careers of pre-tenure faculty in Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) fields at minority-serving institutions (MSIs), predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs), and Carnegie Research 2 (R2) universities, and with the goal of achieving excellence through diversity, the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences hereby announces a call for Launching Early-Career Academic Pathways (LEAPS-MPS) proposals. This LEAPS-MPS call also aims to broaden participation to include members from groups underrepresented in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences, including Blacks and African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders.

These grants are intended to support MPS principal investigators in initiating their research programs early in their careers, particularly at the aforementioned institutions. By providing this funding opportunity, MPS intends to help initiate viable independent research programs for researchers attempting to launch their research careers such that LEAPS-MPS awards are followed by competitive CAREER or individual-investigator grant submissions that build upon the research launched through this mechanism. This LEAPS-MPS solicitation welcomes proposals from principal investigators who share NSF's commitment to diversity.

Awards are for 24 months and are up to $250,000 total costs (direct plus indirect). Principal Investigators must be U.S. citizens or lawfully admitted U.S. permanent residents at the time of proposal submission; visa-holders are not eligible.

Proposals in response to this solicitation must be submitted to the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) in the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS); they will subsequently be transferred to and managed by an appropriate MPS Division.



Research Experience for Post-Baccalaureate Students (REPS) in the Biological Sciences Supplemental Funding Opportunity

The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) recognizes the importance of early-career research experiences, especially for individuals contemplating a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research, and the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused on the career trajectories of undergraduate students who were denied such a research experience.

Many undergraduates who had been planning to participate in research experiences this past year– whether through Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites, REU supplements, or individual arrangements with faculty mentors– found that their host labs or research settings were not able to accommodate them due to restrictions imposed by the pandemic. Students from underrepresented groups and those from schools with no access to research are particularly impacted, because such research experiences are often the only way that these individuals get exposure to the kinds of field-, computationally- and/or laboratory-based research that will motivate them to enter a STEM graduate program or career. Students who are still enrolled as undergraduates may have future opportunities to participate in an REU once pandemic restrictions relax. However, those who graduated and obtained their baccalaureate degrees are no longer eligible to participate as an REU student and, thus, may have been denied the valuable opportunity to engage in independent research. The purpose of this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) is to provide a mechanism to help fill this gap.

NSF BIO invites Principal Investigators (PI) of active awards to submit a supplemental funding request to support the research training of post-baccalaureate students. For the purposes of this DCL, a post-baccalaureate student is defined as an individual who has a bachelor's degree but is not currently enrolled in another degree program. The Research Experience for Post-Baccalaureate Students (REPS) DCL encourages requests for supplemental funding to existing awards for the purpose of supporting research experiences for post-baccalaureate students who desire to engage in research or who want to pursue a career in STEM but were unable to have the opportunity to begin or complete a research experience as an undergraduate student due to pandemic-related interruptions. We expect that PIs will provide the REPS participants with an independent but guided research project and professional development to better prepare them for graduate education or entry into the workforce. Ideally, the REPS participants will be involved in the development of their research project. PIs are encouraged to use the resources available at their own institution or at http://www.bioreu.org<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqJH6weReS8jzG6cptFGdpfzbvBUIEWnOTjwXfRiMiibTelMPhTGEgger-qdco6xMP7Cly6aDPhqTREVR6vDptHVTftr0ODZ8LXIuyDJeHMBMUfSOi_MRQY6mAOpVSVmyitjM4ACY5aYkAbAsqlWtBGY=&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==> to design a program that aims to develop further the participants' competency as a research scholar. At a minimum, PIs are expected to provide training in ethics and the responsible conduct of research and to inform participants of institutional policies or code of conduct on sexual harassment.

NSF BIO is particularly interested in increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in biological research and education such as women, persons with disabilities, underrepresented minorities [1<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqJH6weReS8jzwH3NkI4YSKcfSELhibu4QkTNWld5ZFEyeCd3znZHSwDbTGPgZZbBKVvTR-aCjrtzD3NTrqsTWMbfr5TiWdsFkQcaCyteM7DWZlHbt_sC6VNTnk2gubzGg6rFrIb8dSo-&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==>][2<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqJH6weReS8jzIVRE2LnV2IryAVX7RDLTvCcrGxtik67N2XQ6lTborhSvMWspk4igSuerS2dxQMRaOGKPvqWsUV90bhuDQvrl81sRRcH3OSWiSVQyLJcrV7vHXM9uM6N8CYUAJaLNc_QrGegpGUWkCfdlm__LW_QOiBMae3IhPikYh4WbcYWYAyva7W8HX3uTuA==&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==>], and those from geographically underrepresented areas in STEM. Proposals submitted in response to this DCL are strongly encouraged to substantively involve participants who are members of these groups. Proposers are also strongly encouraged to consider involving veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces as part of NSF's broader effort to promote veteran involvement in STEM research and education.

DESCRIPTION OF THE OPPORTUNITY
NSF BIO will consider supplemental funding requests for up to 12 months of participant support on active BIO-supported grants. Although participants are expected to do full time research, PIs should consider the individual needs of the participants so that they are able to balance their family or other obligations. Person-related participant support costs can include a stipend (recommended at $650/week for full-time participation) and, as appropriate, fringe benefits, and travel. NSF expects that participant costs are included under the Participant Support costs category (Line F) in the budget. A modest amount for materials and supplies can be requested and should be included on line G1 in the budget. All costs should be clearly explained in the budget justification. Indirect costs should be calculated only on the amount listed on line G1. A supplemental funding request may include support for more than one student. However, PIs are reminded that there is limited funding for this program, and requests for more than one student should be justified.

The supplemental funding request should be submitted in FastLane in accordance with the guidelines found in the PAPPG<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RWCAWZ2fUQbHDXLC2oR5Yd4dGAI9lkIEQ7BuldIxhDAQy8YexQryqBg26pNqPuAODB7Cc5Ty9SJLaHRjuu1Gr7QApL4T3-D82xGUZxKUpmMeo12swyoiSJF8QrbP2UUOlFLG-weS7_j98A2gyuaLLY_FVqQw8XgNGm-k_W3cErCZzHIFCMY7NwOqhTMLHh38Fq_17JUC1BI=&c=1fwzla49VyRxIy5bl5TNR976hGqZSQbIirtvovXmg24zLKSRSgCApA==&ch=H8mj82Qnbm6sLaZsbHI_8OTVZ0I2XuqRpRtU-4pR46_lN8UR24PNiw==>. The guidance below might be helpful in preparing the request.

·     In the section entitled "Summary of Proposed Work," state that this is a REPS request and provide brief information on the number of participants, the mentor names and potential projects, and professional development activities that will be part of the program. This section typically does not exceed one page.
·     In the section entitled "Justification for Supplement," describe in detail the participant's involvement in the research project, a description of the potential project, the mentoring plan for the participant including any professional development activities, and information on the recruited participant, including a brief biographical sketch. Describe how the proposed program would contribute to the participants' long-term career goal and how the supplemental funding will serve to broaden participation.

REPS supplemental funding requests will be reviewed for funding consideration upon receipt. To receive full funding consideration for FY2021, requests should be submitted by July 2, 2021. Supplemental funding requests submitted after that date will be considered if funds are available.
