 Science | Research Funding
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220419

CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim:  Open source software is critical to modern scientific r
 esearch\, advancing biology and medicine while providing reproducibility a
 nd transparency. Hundreds of software packages\, libraries\, and applicati
 ons have become essential tools for research—so much so that many resear
 chers could not continue their work without them. \n \nThe Chan Zuckerbe
 rg Initiative (CZI) seeks letters of intent to apply for funding for softw
 are projects that are essential to biomedical research\, as part of our Es
 sential Open Source Software for Science (EOSS) RFA. The goal of the progr
 am is to support software maintenance\, growth\, development\, and communi
 ty engagement for these critical tools. This fifth RFA cycle will continue
  with this approach\, while also encouraging applications from areas of pa
 rticular focus relevant to CZI Science—infectious disease\, imaging\, an
 d single-cell biology. \n\nFunding:       max. $400\,000\n\nDuratio
 n:      2 years\n\nEligibility: Applications may be submitted by non-
 profit and for-profit organizations\, public and private institutions\, su
 ch as colleges\, universities\, hospitals\, laboratories\, units of state 
 and local government\, companies\, and eligible agencies of the federal go
 vernment. Applications are welcome from any country\, provided the propose
 d work is compliant with the United States Treasury Department’s Office 
 of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) sanctions program.\n\nHow to Apply: The EO
 SS RFA will be a two-step process: an initial Letter of Intent (LOI)\, fol
 lowed by invitations to a select number of applicants to submit a Full App
 lication. LOIs do not need a full budget\, a finalized list of personnel\
 , deliverables\, or institutional sign-off. A subset of the LOI applicants
  will be invited to submit a full application. Detailed budgets are requir
 ed at the full application stage\, and should include overhead of 15%. Ins
 titutional Approval Forms are also required at the full application stage\
 ; please contact the Research Office for this step.\n\nDeadline (LOI):  
                                      
     19 April 2022 (5:00 pm PT)\nDeadline (Full proposal\, by invite): 
                  02 June 2022\n\nFurther information\n\n	C
