The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) announces the availability of grants to develop, test, and evaluate the impact of various simulation approaches for the purpose of improving the safe delivery of health care. As a training technique, simulation in health care uses a variety of approaches – mannequins, task trainers, virtual reality, in situ scenarios, hybrid configurations, and standardized patients – to expose individuals and teams to realistic clinical challenges. A distinguishing feature of simulation is that it allows participants to experience, in real- or near real-time, the consequences of their decisions and actions as they learn new skills and address system anomalies in an environment that does not put patients at risk. Simulation also can be used as a test-bed to identify failure modes and other areas of concern in new clinical processes, procedures, and technologies that might threaten patient safety. Another use of simulation is as a vehicle to help establish performance competency benchmarks of interest to credentialing and certification initiatives. AHRQ is seeking applications that address a variety of clinical settings. Yet other investigators have used computerized modeling as a way of representing a system that is infeasible to study directly for the purpose of forecasting the effect of changes under different conditions. The projects funded under this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will inform providers, health educators, payers, policy makers, AHRQ, patients, and the public about the effective use of simulation in improving patient safety.

The Association for Women in Mathematics has administered the NSF-AWM Travel Grant Program for Women since 1988, supporting both travel to domestic or foreign research conferences and, more recently, longer-term visits with a mentor. Travel Grants. Enabling women mathematicians to attend conferences in their fields provides them a valuable opportunity to advance their research activities and their visibility in the research community. Having more women attend such meetings also increases the size of the pool from which speakers at subsequent meetings may be drawn and thus addresses the persistent problem of the absence of women speakers at some research conferences. The Mathematics Travel Grants provide full or partial support for travel and subsistence for a meeting or conference in the applicant’s field of specialization. Mentoring Travel Grants. The objective of the NSF-AWM Mathematics Mentoring Travel Grants is to help junior women to develop a long-term working and mentoring relationship with a senior mathematician. This relationship should help the junior mathematician to establish her research program and eventually receive tenure. Each grant funds travel, accommodations and other required expenses for an untenured woman mathematician to travel to an institute or a department to do research with a specified individual for one month. The applicant’s and mentor’s research must be in a field which is supported by the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation.

<p>Competition Theme The Global Development Network (GDN) invites researchers from low-income or middle-income countries to submit research proposals within the theme ‘Post-COVID-19 Governance - Learning from challenging circumstances to build better governance systems’ for the Japanese Award for Outstanding Research on Development (ORD). More information about the theme of the competition is available at the end of this document.</p> <p>The Award The Japanese Award for Outstanding Research on Development is a competitive research grant program under the umbrella of the Global Development Awards Competition (GDAC), administered by GDN, funded under the Policy and Human Resources Development Fund (PHRD) trust fund managed by the World Bank, and generously supported by the Ministry of Finance, Government of Japan. This award program identifies and funds outstanding research proposals in low- or middle-income countries with high potential for excellence in research and clear policy implications for addressing development issues. The three winning projects will receive grants worth US$ 60,000.</p> <p>Finalists will be invited to join a communications training in preparation of a pitch of their project in front of a high-level Jury, which will decide which research proposal to award. A physical event is planned in early November 2022 for the presentations to the high-level Jury by the finalists, if conditions allow it, and projects are expected to start in early 2023.</p> <p>In case social distancing policies do not make travelling possible, the event will be held on a virtual setting. The awards will be given to the researcher(s) whose proposals hold the greatest promise for improving our understanding of development issues and puts forth clear, articulate and well researched policy implications to address relevant developmental problems. The first prize winner will receive a grant of US$ 30,000. The second prize and third prize winners will receive a grant of US$ 20,000 and US$ 10,000 respectively. The funds will be used to support the research work proposed by the winners towards the completion of their research. Additionally, awardees will be paired with world-class academic in their area of work who will play the role of a Scientific and Technical Advisor.</p> <p>The deadline for submission of applications is on the 14 November 2022 (Indian Standard Time 6:00 PM) Gender Bias GDN recognizes the imbalance in the opportunities provided to women in professional research, as well as the consequences of unconscious gender bias in review processes in environments across the world. GDN also recognizes the impact these factors can have on the prospects of women researchers in securing awards and funding. Starting with the 2022 edition, GDN is planning to embed more equitable grant-making processes to guarantee that more women have the opportunity to compete and win while still maintaining a high-quality standard on the evaluation.</p> <p>Therefore, GDN will institute a selection process for GDAC where we will make all efforts to guarantee gender representation amongst the 3 finalists of the ORD category. We are taking this step in parallel to a revamped Capacity-building Framework for individuals or NGOs that are interested in GDAC since we will aim to support them regardless of their success in the review process. This means that we will develop activities for prospective applicants, grantees, and past grantees so that they develop some skills useful for other competitions or endeavors. We hope this will contribute to building capacity and empowering southern researchers including women.</p> <p>GDN strongly encourages female researchers to engage and apply. Connector Grant The 2022 edition will introduce the Connector Grant which aims to stimulate international cooperation through the development of collaborative projects to support scale-up efforts with research-based evidence. The Connector grant will be awarded to ORD grantees, based on a project developed in collaboration with the MIDP grantees who received the JSDF grant. </p> <div style="caret-color: #222222; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Additional information about the open sessions are below.

<p>In 2022, the Doherty Institute received a significant philanthropic donation from Mr Geoff Cumming to establish the Cumming Global Centre for Pandemic Therapeutics (Cumming Global Centre). This mission-driven, globally connected research centre will enable rapid design and development of treatments for pathogens of pandemic potential.</p> <p>The Centre will provide long-term research funding through a variety of research programs, transforming the management of future pandemics and saving lives. In alignment with the Cumming Global Centre mission, the 2023 Foundation Grants have been launched to fund projects which aim to identify approaches to develop novel therapeutics at far greater speed than current technologies allow.</p> <p>Internal investigators were invited to apply through the first round, which has now closed and was open exclusively to Doherty Institute, University of Melbourne, and Royal Melbourne Hospital applicants.</p> <p>The second round has the same research parameters but is open globally, with support for three years of funding.</p> <p>Work on all pathogens is welcome, providing the research is directly relevant to a pathogen of pandemic potential. High throughput screens for small molecules or rational drug design that are only focused on a single pathogen and not families of pathogens will not be funded. Clinical trials will also not be funded.</p> <p>Main focus areas will include:</p> <ul> <li>Development of platform technologies that will develop therapeutics for pathogens of pandemic potential at speed</li> <li>Fundamental virology, bacteriology or immunology that will identify novel targets for therapeutics for pathogens of pandemic potential</li> <li>Development of therapeutics that have activity across viral or relevant bacterial families e.g. therapeutics that have activity against all sarbecoviruses not just SARS-CoV-2</li> <li>Innovation in relation to enabling capabilities such as animal models, organoid systems, assay development, bioinformatics, genomics or biomarkers or other capabilities that can support therapeutic development</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>This second round is open to investigators from organisations and institutions globally.</p>
<p>Projects proposed for the BYI program should be truly innovative, high-risk, and show promise for contributing to significant advances in chemistry and the life sciences.</p> <p>They should represent a departure from current research directions rather than an extension or expansion of existing programs.</p> <p>Proposed research that cuts across traditional boundaries of scientific disciplines is encouraged.</p> <p>Proposals that open new avenues of research in chemistry and life sciences by fostering the invention of methods, instruments and materials will be given additional consideration.</p> <p>The BYI program funds promising young scientists early in their careers who have not yet received a major award from another organization.</p> <p>Proposals that already have substantial funding will not be considered for the BYI award (see eligibility for more information).</p>
<p>The Medical Research Council collaborates with Encephalitis International to offer a jointly funded clinical research training fellowship.

The Integrative Action for Resilience initiative is a two-phase opportunity for local community leaders—who are interested in designing and implementing rigorous resilience research to generate evidence that can inform their own decision-making about policies and projects needed to build resilience in their community, and for researchers—who are interested in partnering in new ways with community-based organizations to apply their analytic capabilities to community-identified challenges. This is a unique opportunity to connect community leaders and researchers who have not worked together before but may be interested and well-suited to pursue resilience research together. Current community-research partnerships are important, but this call is for new partnerships to develop between community leaders and researchers who have not previously worked together but will find complementary benefits from engagement.

To honour the life and work of William St Clair, the St Clair family has established an Early Career funded fellowship at The School of Advanced Study to help support the research and professional development of early career researchers in languages, literatures and cultures. Fellows are expected to pursue their own research during the five months of the Fellowship and to contribute to the work of the Institutes of Classical Studies, English Studies, and Languages, Cultures and Societies as appropriate. A distinguished independent scholar, William St Clair was a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute of English Studies, whose wide-ranging multi-disciplinary research interests encompassed literary history and biography, Romanticism, archaeology and classical antiquities, and the history of the book and publishing, particularly open-access publishing. We invite applications from early career scholars who have active research interests in any of these areas. The Fellows will be based in the Institutes of Classical Studies, English Studies, and Languages, Cultures and Societies, as appropriate. Applicants are invited to submit a research proposal on a topic of their choice. This should specify as an objective a defined outcome for the research carried out during the period of the fellowship, such as a grant proposal, an article, chapter in a book and/or detailed proposal for a book. The Fellowships will last five months. Because of the nature of the funding, successful applicants must be available to take up the fellowship by January 2025 at the earliest or by the end of June 2025 at the latest. Fellows will receive a stipend of £2,000 per month; this may be used as a contribution towards travel and/or accommodation costs during the Fellowship, though residence in London is not a requirement of these posts. Payment will be made in two instalments during the course of the Fellowship, at commencement and in month 3. The overall payment is £10,000 or pro rata if the fellowship is terminated early. Some additional funding will be available to support events and activities. The Fellowships are intended to support early career researchers without a permanent academic post. In order to be eligible for the scheme, early career scholars (i.e. scholars within eight years of PhD award, not including any period of career break) must have been awarded their PhD by the start of the fellowship. Independent researchers without a PhD would not normally be eligible.
