NSF Likely to Rename "Broader Impacts" and Assign Subscore
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is considering a change in how it evaluates grant proposals. Currently, reviewers assess both the “intellectual merit” and “broader impacts” of proposed research. However, concerns have arisen that the broader impacts criteria are not given enough attention. As a result, the NSF’s governing board plans to recommend renaming the broader impacts criteria to “societal benefits.” This shift aims to emphasize the project’s potential to contribute to society, including aspects like public health, economic well-being, and scientific workforce diversity. In addition, the governing board may recommend having reviewers assign a subscore to "societal benefits" so that applicants will know how that section factored into their overall score.

UCI Microbiome Series
Dietary fiber effect on fructose-induced hepatic steatosis
Cholsoon Jang, University of California, Irvine
Professor Jang's goal is to understand how dietary nutrients are metabolized by complex interactions between organs and gut microbiota and how disruption of such fundamental processes contributes to disease. His lab focuses on disease-associated nutrients such as branched-chain amino acids, fructose, and alcohol to identify metabolic fates and inter-organ exchange in diverse physiological and pathological conditions.

James L. McGaugh Distinguished Seminar
A master regulator of opioid reward in ventral prefrontal cortex
Paul J. Kenny, Mount Sinai
Dr. Kenny's multidisciplinary research involves the study of behavioral paradigms, physiological analyses, and the molecular underpinnings of neurobehavioral disorders. He is actively investigating the brains of rodents to uncover new signaling cascades that may play a role in addiction-like behaviors.

Perturbing Protein and Ligand Conformational Landscapes to Link Dynamics and Function in Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases
Daniel Keedy, City College of New York
Professor Keedy develops experimental and computational methods to control proteins. His work reveals new opportunities to modulate the activities of therapeutic targets such as tyrosine phosphatases with small molecules and protein engineering, and also offers insights into more general evolutionary processes that led to functional diversity in the human genome.

Anatomy and Neurobiology Seminar
A master regulator of opioid reward in ventral prefrontal cortex
Krishna Jayant, PhD, Purdue University
Dr. Jayant's research is interested in elucidating the fundamental biophysical mechanisms by which single neurons process and integrate information, and how these features influence and decide population coding, plasticity, and sensory input processing in the brain. To this end, it focuses on the computational role that synapses and dendrites play in deciding and influencing the overall input-output transfer function of a neuron.ignaling cascades that may play a role in addiction-like behaviors.

NCI Transition Career Development Award (K22)
Designed to infuse use-inspiration and critical funds into commercially promising research projects. Through rigorous review, feedback and selection by domain experts, researchers can seek up to $100,000 in critical funding to advance commercialization. This crucial support underwrites a spectrum of activities, including customer discovery efforts, feasibility studies, and prototype development. These pivotal phases of commercial validation enhance a project’s appeal to investors and refine its marketability with industry partners.

Hispanic-Serving Institutions: Enriching Learning, Programs, and Student Experiences (HSI:ELPSE)
Supports projects that are purposefully designed to meet students where they are, accounting for both their assets and the challenges they may face. Identities and experiences are not determined solely by membership in a single monolithic population of students (e.g., Hispanic, first-generation, commuter, etc.). Consequently, institutions are expected to use institutional data to identify equity gaps, identify areas of need, and unpack the factors that shape students’ individual realities and shared experiences. Perspectives gained from these data should be central to the design of the project.
Deadline: June 04, 2024
