RFP - National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is partnering with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative in support of new funding opportunities aimed at recognizing and furthering the leadership and scientific accomplishments of excellent biomedical researchers who—through their outreach, mentoring, and teaching—have a record of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in their scientific fields.
The Science Diversity Leadership (SDL) program will support projects led by outstanding early- to mid-career faculty at U.S. universities, medical schools, and nonprofit research institutes who advance research and act as mentors, sponsors, and role models for underrepresented groups in biomedical science.
Applicants should have made significant research contributions to the biomedical sciences, shown promise for continuing scientific achievement, and demonstrated leadership in diversifying the sciences. Principal investigators and laboratory staff who are leading projects supported by these grants will participate in annual in-person meetings and online webinars organized by CZI and will be connected to national and international scientific leaders through CZI convenings.
Each grant recipient will be awarded a total of $1.15 million over five years, with the first two cohorts of grantees selected in 2022 and 2023. Investigators leading the grantees’ projects will use funds to support research programs and outreach, mentoring, and teaching activities. Direct costs of $200,000 per year may be used to support the principal investigator's research and their outreach, mentoring, and teaching activities.
To be eligible, the principal investigator must be someone who:
- performs research relevant to the biomedical sciences and holds an MD, PhD, ScD, MD/PhD, DDM, DVM, or equivalent degree;
- leads an independent research laboratory—defined as having control of its budget, grants, and space—in a university, medical school, or nonprofit research institution in the U.S. or a U.S. territory; and
- started their first independent laboratory no earlier than January 1, 2012.

National Institutes of Health - Bioengineering Partnerships with Industry
Supports research partnerships formed by academic and industrial investigators to
accelerate the development and adoption of promising bioengineering tools and technologies
that can address important biomedical problems. The objectives are to establish these
tools and technologies as robust, well-characterized solutions that fulfill an unmet
need and can enhance the understanding of life science processes or the practice of
medicine. Awards will focus on supporting multidisciplinary teams that apply an integrative,
quantitative bioengineering approach to developing technologies. The program goal
is to support technological innovations that deliver new capabilities which can realize
meaningful solutions within five to 10 years.
Awards: Multiple awards of negotiable amounts
Eligibility: Unrestricted
Deadline: 05/26/2022
