Tuesday, May 21, 2024, Virtual
In this session, we'll cover the basics around NVIDIA's Omniverse platform for 3D Design Collaboration and Simulation and the ecosystem of building Digital Twins. We'll touch on not only how to set up and rollout an Omniverse environment, but also how to integrate frameworks, like Modulus (physics…
Tuesday, May 28, 2024, Virtual
In this session, we'll focus on NVIDIA's Isaac Sim platform, which is an extensible robotics simulator that gives researchers and practitioners a faster, better way to design, test, and train AI-based robots. Isaac Sim is powered by NVIDIA Omniverse and able to deliver scalable, photorealistic, and…
Friday, May 31, 2024, UC Berkeley Campus
The Berkeley-Stanford Veridical Data Science Workshop is focused on showcasing and promoting veridical (truthful) data science (VDS) for reproducible, reliable data analysis and decision-making. It intends to build a community of veridical data science researchers for trustworthy data science,…

Environmental Protection Agency
Deadline:
Request for Applications (RFA) from eligible entities to improve the understanding of toxics and their effects on water quality in the Columbia River Basin by increasing the number, type, and scientific rigor of toxics monitoring projects in the Columbia River Basin through specific actions in three program priority areas (see within).
Various
Deadline:
Opportunities with BASF, Kraft Heinz, Bayer Pharma, and other industry sponsors focused on topics like micro-algae production, aluminum foil alternatives, digital solutions in agriculture, and more.
The American Society of Biomechanics
Deadline:
The purpose of the Diversity Travel Award is to encourage access and equity at the Annual Meeting, August 5-8, 2024, held in Madison, WI, by supporting the attendance of individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Michelson Medical Research Foundation
Deadline:
While the Michelson Prizes are focused on research in the fields of immunology, vaccine, and immunotherapy discovery, applicants from the full spectrum of related disciplines, including clinical research, biochemistry, molecular biology, protein engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence/machine learning, biophysics, nanotechnology, etc., are encouraged to apply.
Vilcek Foundation
Deadline:
The Vilcek Foundation will award three Vilcek Prizes for Creative Promise of $50,000 each to young, immigrant biomedical scientists who demonstrate outstanding early achievement.
Prevent Cancer Foundation
Deadline:
The Foundation funds research projects that reduce the frequency of neoplasms including but not limited to brain, bladder, breast, colon and rectum, endometrium, head and neck, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, pancreas, prostate, skin (including melanoma), stomach as well as HPV related cancers and hematologic malignancies.
The Helen Hay Whitney Foundation
Deadline:
The Helen Hay Whitney Foundation supports early postdoctoral research training in all basic biomedical sciences.
Amcor Limited
Deadline:
Apply through Halo (easy apply). Amcor is seeking a partner to create a model to automate and optimize the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) container design process, setting new industry standards in the development and manufacturing of custom PET containers.
Private company (apply through Halo)
Deadline:
We are looking for mechanism- and target-based approaches to explore mitochondrial biology in immune related diseases. Our focus is on integrating these approaches in foundational research models, to explore the fundamental biological and pathological processes of a disease, and in translational settings, to develop or test a new treatment.
BASF
Deadline:
Apply through Halo (easy application). We would like to find new approaches existing in academia and start-ups for boosting efficiencies in micro-algae production and processing towards bio-naphtha or other base chemicals.
Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) Research Foundation
Deadline:
The Research Foundation is focused on funding projects grounded in basic laboratory science and the education of scientists working on breakthroughs directed toward a cure for paralysis, secondary health effects and technologies associated with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D).
BrightFocus Foundation
Deadline:
[Letter of Intent] BrightFocus provides research funds for U.S. domestic as well as international researchers pursuing pioneering research leading to greater understanding, prevention, and treatment of age-related macular degeneration.
National Science Foundation
Deadline:
Developmental Sciences supports basic research that increases our understanding of perceptual, cognitive, linguistic, social, cultural, and biological processes related to human development across the lifespan.
National Science Foundation
Deadline:
The objective of the PACSP Program is to support conservation research that investigates organismal biology, ecology, and/or evolution and is designed to contribute to the development and implementation of evidence-based activities and/or technology solutions to advance biodiversity conservation.

Rolling opportunities

Faculty funding opportunities with no set deadline. You can also view a full, filterable list of funding opportunities for faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.

Various
This site includes postings for paid jobs, Postdoctoral Fellowships, etc from all over the country.
National Science Foundation
NSF seeks to catalyze research that leverages the full diversity and complexity of life to focus attention on the discovery of molecular and evolutionary mechanisms that have permitted organisms, over millions of years of evolution, to innovate and thrive, often in hostile and changing environments.
Graduate School
Award amounts vary based upon hardship and need but will typically not exceed $1500 per student per academic year.
OSU Departmental Opportunity
The Mehl Lab in the Biochemistry & Biophysics Department at Oregon State University is looking for multiple creative and ambitious postdocs who are interested in expanding our recent developments in genetic code expansion, protein engineering, structural biology and studies on protein post-translational modifications.
OSU Graduate School
The Graduate School offers the Scholarly Presentation Award to provide graduate students with financial support to assist with certain costs associated with presenting their scholarly work at academic conferences and meetings.
National Institute on Aging
This FOA promote diversity in the translational research workforce for Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD).
U.S. Department of Defense
CCDC-SC is offering a novel research opportunity focusing to treat nanoparticles as giant atoms and construct new "molecules" out of them. The goal of this project is to translate this atomic level reality to nanoparticles by viewing them as atoms and generating nanoparticle "molecules" that will show new optical, electronic, mechanical, and catalytic properties.
OSU Graduate School
The Professional Development Award from the Graduate School reimburses eligible students up to $250 to pay for training, conference fees, webinars, and more.
