Corporate & Foundation Funding
The University of Utah Corporate and Foundation Relations program can help build a relationship between you and potential private funding partners.
Our team can advise on strategic approaches, arrange visits, review draft proposals
and help translate ideas into fundable projects or programs. Please contact Chris Ostrander at 5-7220 if you are interested in applying for an opportunity listed below, or on
the CFR Funding Opportunity website.
Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation — Machine Learning in the Chemical Sciences and
Engineering
Deadline: April 2, 2020
Amount: The amount of support requested is determined by the applicant.
The Dreyfus program for Machine Learning in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering provides funding for innovative projects in any area of Machine Learning (ML) consistent with the Foundation’s broad objective to advance the chemical sciences and engineering. The Foundation anticipates that these projects will contribute new fundamental chemical insight and innovation in the field.
The Foundation encourages proposals to significantly stimulate and accelerate the development of the use of ML and other related aspects of data science to the Chemical Sciences and Engineering. Below are some examples this program may support:
- molecular synthesis, including mechanisms, techniques, and applications
- theory, computation, physical properties of molecules or materials
- rates and mechanisms of new chemical processes
- new or improved materials and materials applications
- postdoctoral support for collaborations that combine chemical science research with ML expertise
- collaborative sabbaticals, extended visits, and meetings
- education, e.g., new courses, seminar series, MOOCs,…
- public libraries of chemistry and chemical engineering data for use in ML
Simons Foundation for Autism Research Initiative (SFARI): Collaborative Awards for
Sex Differences in Autism Research
Deadline: April 21, 2020
Amount: Up to $8,000,000 over 3 years
For this SFARI Collaboration, we welcome proposals that will use an array of modern
technologies to examine sex differences in brain function, within and across species,
including humans, to identify key differences in gene, cell and circuit function that
account for the observed differential sensitivities of the two sexes to ASD. A successful
Collaboration must enhance our understanding of the biological bases for sex-specific
differences in ASD and set the stage for development of novel interventions.
William T. Grant Foundation — Reducing Inequality Research Grants
Deadline: May 6, 2020
Amount: Up to $600,000
The William T. Grant Foundation is inviting applications for its Research Grants on
Reducing Inequality program. The program supports high-quality field-initiated studies
from a range of disciplines and methodologies that are relevant to policies and practices
that affect the lives of young people between the ages of 5 and 25 in the United States. Through the program,
grants of up to $600,000 over a period of up to three years will be awarded in support
of major research designed to build, test, or increase understanding of programs,
policies, or practices with the potential to reduce inequality in the academic, social,
behavioral, or economic outcomes of young people. Descriptive studies that clarify
mechanisms for reducing inequality or elucidate how or why a specific program, policy,
or practice operates to reduce inequality are welcomed.
The foundation prioritizes studies about reducing inequality on the basis of race,
ethnicity, economic standing, language, minority status, or immigrant origin. It also
welcomes studies from a range of disciplines, fields, and methodologies and encourages
investigations into various systems, including justice, housing, child welfare, mental
health, and education. Competitive proposals often incorporate data from multiple
sources and often involve multidisciplinary teams. In addition to financial support,
grantees receive significant time and capacity-building resources from the foundation.
Projects led by African American, Latinx, Native American, and Asian Pacific American
researchers are encouraged.
Russell Sage Foundation — Social Science Research Grants
Deadline: May 21, 2020
Amount: Up to $175,000
The Russell Sage Foundation invites letters of inquiry for four of their core program areas:
- The program on Behavioral Economics supports research that uses insights and methods from psychology, economics, sociology,
political science and other social sciences to examine and improve social and living
conditions in the United States
- The Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration program is concerned with the social, economic, and political effects of the changing
racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population, including the transformation
of communities and ideas about what it means to be American.
- The program in Social, Political, and Economic Inequality focuses on whether rising economic inequality has affected social, political, and
economic institutions in the U.S., and the extent to which increased inequality has
affected equality of opportunity, social mobility, and the intergenerational transmission
of advantage.
- In partnership with the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Initiative on Immigration and Immigrant Integration seeks to support innovative research on the effects of race, citizenship, legal status
and politics, political culture, and public policy on outcomes for immigrants and
for the native-born of different racial and ethnic groups and generations.
