NSF and NIH Funding for COVID-19 Research
In light of the emergence and spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States and abroad, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is accepting proposals to conduct non-medical, non-clinical-care research that can be used immediately to explore how to model and understand the spread of COVID-19, to inform and educate about the science of virus transmission and prevention, and to encourage the development of processes and actions to address this global challenge. Proposers may respond through existing funding opportunities or through the Rapid Response Research (RAPID) funding mechanism. Read the initial Dear Colleague Letter (20-052) and the Dear Colleague Letter (20-055) on provisioning advanced cyberinfrastructure.
Additionally, the NSF's Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) is specifically interested in research on the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on undergraduate education. The outbreak has altered undergraduate education in unforeseen ways, including forcing temporary closures and unplanned switches to online classes. DUE thinks that research about the impacts of such responses on students and educators could provide important new knowledge about STEM learning, virtual learning environments, the impact of stress on learning, and many other important topics. If you are engaged in such research or would like to do so, DUE encourages you to consider submitting a proposal to any of its relevant funding programs, including the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE): EHR program, the IUSE:HSI program, the S-STEM program, the ATE program, the Noyce Program, and the ECR Core research program.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is taking several approaches to support new research in response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019). If you are a grantee currently supported by active NIH funding, you may be eligible to apply for an administrative supplement to support SARS-CoV-2/COVID-2019 research. Further, in response to the COVID-2019 outbreak caused by SARS-CoV-2, NIAID, together with the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), is using the NIH Urgent Award mechanism for the first time. The corresponding Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) Regarding the Availability of Urgent Competitive Revisions for Research on the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) highlights the urgent need for research on SARS-CoV-2.
