The Mercury Project The Mercury Project: 2023 Call for Proposals

In Fall 2021, the Social Science Research Council launched the Mercury Project , mobilizing social and behavioral scientists in a search for cost-effective and scalable solutions to build vaccination demand and healthier information environments.

With $25M in funding from The Rockefeller Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Craig Newmark Philanthropies, and the National Science Foundation, the teams in the Mercury Project consortium are evaluating a portfolio of interventions in 17 countries that vary in settings, target populations, and risk/reward ratios, with the goal of identifying those interventions that most cost-effectively and scalably increase science-based health decision making.  

We are excited to announce a new call for proposals with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Mercury Project now invites proposals to evaluate the causal impacts of online or offline interventions designed to increase demand for vaccinations consistent with national priorities, including childhood vaccines, HPV, polio, measles, and Covid-19 vaccinations, in low- and lower-middle income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean.

Applicants are encouraged to consider the Mercury Project’s Research Framework in developing proposals. Preference will be given to projects that:

• evaluate the effects of interventions on behavioral outcomes, including vaccination uptake;
• evaluate interventions that are designed and delivered in collaboration with governmental, NGO, and/or corporate partners;
• have demonstrated potential to be cost-effective at scale;
• include researchers and research institutions located in the countries in which the study is being conducted.

Proposed projects may have a duration of up to 30 months. Primary applicant organizations must be tax-exempt organizations or the equivalent in the local context (e.g., nonprofit organizations, universities, governmental units). Proposed budgets should be appropriate to cover project costs, with indirect costs not exceeding 15% of direct costs. 

Proposals will undergo confidential peer review by a panel of scientific experts. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of scientific merit, potential to cost-effectively increase vaccination demand at scale, and research team inclusivity. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis; we encourage applicants to submit proposals earlier rather than later. Applications will not be accepted after May 1, 2023.

Proposal Requirements

Applicants will be asked to provide the following information through the Mercury Project application portal.

• Identities of primary applicant organization and any proposed subaward organizations, including organizations’ tax-exempt (or equivalent) status;
• Identities of principal and co-investigators, including disciplinary and institutional affiliations, links to investigator websites or CVs, and contact information for principal investigator;
• Project description, including intervention design, proposed strategy to make causal inferences (e.g., randomized controlled trial or quasi-experimental design), potential causal mechanisms, sample size and power analysis, outcomes of interest, evidence for likely cost-effectiveness at scale, project duration and timeline, discussion of ethical considerations (6 pages maximum);
• Letters of collaboration from implementing partners;
• Project budget and budget narrative, with indirect costs not exceeding 15%.

The 2030 Project Fast Grants - Call for Proposals

Call for Research-to-Impact Fast Grant Proposals 2023

In order to mobilize Cornell to support ambitious climate action in this decisive decade, Cornell Atkinson and The 2030 Project: A Cornell Climate Initiative are issuing a special request for proposals for fast grant research-to-impact funding . We seek to enable faculty to seize urgent and unique opportunities to provide support for impact-oriented climate research, expected to be in the $10,000-$25,000 range. In select cases, the amount awarded could be higher for proposals that make a compelling case for greater funding.

We are interested in supporting projects that will use seed funding to:

• Better position research teams to submit new research proposals to external public agencies, foundations, or private-sector partners to inform long-term, large-scale efforts in the areas of emission reductions/decarbonization, carbon removal, natural, engineered and hybrid climate solutions, or climate preparedness and adaptation.
• Develop cross-disciplinary collaborations across various colleges or schools within Cornell.
• Eliminate or substantially reduce a major source of greenhouse gas emissions;
• Remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and/or ocean; and
• Prepare for a climate-change-impacted world. Note projects with quantifiable, scalable potential are especially welcome : i.e. .5 billion tons or more of annual emission reductions or removal; projects that impact >50,000 people, globally scalable to billions of tons and millions of people.
• Accelerate efforts to develop the food & farms of the future; the energy systems of the future; the materials of the future; and/or the societies of the future – systems that support human flourishing while minimizing harmful climate impacts. Including, but not limited to, zero-emission agriculture; renewable and zero-carbon energy production; decarbonized industrial processes and sustainable material extraction; climate finance and climate policy development.
• Support an equitable transition – improving quality of life, equity, legitimacy, or justice as part of a transition to prevent or prepare for climate change.
• Launch immediate efforts to inform and support the urgent response to climate change and help advance progress towards publicly articulated public or private climate goals.      Examples: United States emission nationally defined commitment goal under the Paris Agreement; the Global Methane pledge; NYS CLCPA goals; or a corporate Net-Zero pledge.
• Build new or deepen existing partnerships with key non-academic partners, such as a government, company, or organization to turn research into impact (e.g. EDF; Nature Conservancy; Clean Air Task Force; Rocky Mountain Institute).
• Advance a new entrepreneurial endeavor or enable technology commercialization

• News & Events

*The Second Call for Proposals Application Portal is now open and available on the new Pandemic Fund website . 

The Pandemic Fund has  opened its second Call for Proposals (CfP) on December 22, 2023  and is inviting interested Eligible Countries, Regional Entities, and Implementing Entities to develop full proposals for potential projects to be supported by this initial funding. The  online application portal  is now open and will be closed on May 17, 2024.

The envelope of funding for this CfP is US$ 500 million. The Pandemic Fund expects that further rounds of funding (3rd and 4th) will likely be launched in 2024-2025, subject to available resources and alignment with the Fund’s Strategic Plan.

In recognition of the high demand for funding demonstrated in the first CfP, the second CfP continues to prioritize high-impact investments in: 1) early warning and disease surveillance systems, 2) laboratory systems, and 3) strengthening human resources/public health and community workforce capacity, including workforce capacity related to human and animal health, to help countries prevent, prepare for and respond to health emergencies.

For the 2nd CfP, the 16 countries that were awarded single-country grants under the first CfP are not eligible to receive single-country grants under the second CfP. However, these countries may be included in “Multi-country” or “Regional Entity” proposals. Countries that were part of successful multi-country grants and/or covered under successful Regional Entity proposals in the first CfP are eligible to apply for both single- country and multi-country grants in the second CfP.

Unsuccessful Applicants from the first CfP are encouraged to re-apply during this CfP. It is recommended that applicants review the feedback provided to them on their previous submission before re-applying, and ensure their proposal reflects the considerations in  this Guidance Note , as well as information provided in the  Scoring and Weighting Methodology .

Timeline and process for the second round of funding

• December 22, 2023: 2nd Call for Proposals announced.  Guidance Note  released.  

March 5, 2024: Scoring and Weighting Methodology  released, which provides information on how the  Technical Advisory Panel  will score and evaluate proposals, and  online application portal  launched. Applicants should begin preparing detailed proposals. This is a mandatory step for all applicants requesting financing.

APPLICATION PORTAL  —  APPLY HERE  

• May 17, 2024: Deadline to submit proposals through the Pandemic Fund’s  application portal . The deadline for submission of proposals is May 17, 2024 at 23:59 Eastern Time.  
• June - August 2024: Review of eligible proposals by the  Technical Advisory Panel  based on the  Scoring and Weighting Methodology .  
• September – October 2024 (TBC in June 2024): Review of eligible proposals by the Governing Board. Announcement of selected proposals to be funded.  Exact dates will be communicated in June and will be based on the number of proposals received .

Priority areas of funding

This Call for Proposals will continue to prioritize high-impact investments in: i) early warning and disease surveillance systems; ii) laboratory systems (human and animal); and iii) strengthening human resources/public health and community workforce capacity, including workforce capacity related to human and animal health, which are in line with relevant Joint External Evaluation 3rd edition (JEE) targets, National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS), One Health and related national and regional health and community systems strengthening plans, as applicable, as well as with the  Pandemic Fund’s Results Framework . The second CfP will pay particular attention to community engagement, civil society involvement, gender and broader equity considerations in project design and implementation, and strongly encourages a One Health approach.

Financing is intended for projects that will help strengthen core capacities in one or more of these three priority areas, which present the promise of generating a visible impact in terms of prevention and preparedness to effectively detect and respond to disease outbreaks.  

Types of proposals accepted

There are three types of proposals that will be accepted, which include:

• Single-country proposal: This is a proposal submitted by one eligible country along with one or more approved IEs, where the activities of the proposal will occur in and benefit those at the national or sub-national level of the applying country.  
• Multi-country proposal: This is a proposal submitted by two or more eligible countries along with one or more approved IEs, where the activities of the proposal will occur in and benefit those at the national or sub-national level of  each  of the applying countries. A proposal from multiple countries in the same region would also be considered as a “multi-country proposal” and not a Regional Entity proposal.  
• Regional Entity proposal: This is a proposal submitted by a Regional Entity (or body or platform) along with one or more approved IEs, where the activities of the proposal will occur in and benefit those at the regional or sub-regional level. A Regional Entity proposal is different than a multi-country proposal because the primary grant beneficiary is a Regional Entity, and not countries.

Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property

Right to research in international copyright, call for research proposals .

USE THIS FORM TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

The Academic Network on the Right to Research in International Copyright is calling for  research relevant to the development of global norms on copyright policy in its application to research. Text and data mining research, for example, is contributing insights to respond to urgent social problems, from combatting COVID to monitoring hate speech and disinformation on social media. Other technologies make it possible to access the materials of libraries, archives and museums from afar - an especially necessary activity during the COVID pandemic. But these and other research activities may require reproduction and sharing of copyright protected works, including across borders. There is a lack of global norms for such activities, which may contribute to uncertainty and apprehension, inhibiting research projects and collaborations. 

We seek to partner with researchers interested in exploring the means and ends of recognizing a “right to research” in international copyright law. In our initial conception, there are at least three overlapping dimensions to the concept:

The first dimension relates to the work of academic and other investigators, whose success depends on their ability to access and analyze information that may be subject to copyright protection, and to make their findings available. 

The second dimension points toward the audience that learns from, applies, and further disseminates research findings. It sounds in the human right to “receive and impart information,” as well as the right to “benefit from” creativity and scientific progress.

The third dimension focuses on institutions. Researchers and consumers alike rely on institutions that can collect, preserve, and assure the results of research over time.

We seek the following categories of contributions relevant to the project, more detailed questions within each are available at https://tinyurl.com/rtr-questions : 

History and Theory. We seek papers that contextualize and conceptualize whether and how recognition of a “right to research” can frame and justify policies that promote the interests of researchers, their audiences, and the institutions that serve them. Some primary questions here may include: What lessons can we take from history about protections for research purposes in copyright law? What are the underlying theories and justifications for copyright and how do they justify or motivate applications to research uses of works? What are the Constitutional or fundamental rights underpinnings of a right to research? What lessons can be learned for copyright from other fields of law?

Empirical Research. We are interested in qualitative and quantitative research explaining whether and how copyright protection, apprehension, and limitation of and exceptions to such protection, impact research practices. We invite a variety of methodologies to identify research activities -- including collaboration across borders -- that are inhibited by inadequate research rights in copyright. We welcome empirical analysis drawing lessons from datasets of copyright provisions, including the User Rights Database and Review of Comparative Law on Research Exceptions .

Legal and Policy Analysis. We seek normative, doctrinal, comparative, and critical analysis (including critical race theory and other analysis of impacts on marginalized groups) that illuminates copyright policy options to promote the full realization of the right to research. We are particularly interested in proposals of options for interpretation, implementation or amendment of international treaties and domestic law. Some questions of interest here include: what should an international treaty commitment on the right to research provide, e.g. as an amendment to the Berne Convention, as a provision in the draft Broadcast Treaty, or in a World Trade Organization agreement? How should countries interpret or change place and format based restrictions on rights to research (e.g. limiting uses to “on the premises”), or of terms like “scientific” research?

Accepted Proposals

Accepted proposals will be included within a 3-year project that is linking academic research to the work of a global civil society coalition working on policy reform. Through this project, researchers will receive sustained opportunities for collaboration and presentation, publication, an honorarium and possibility of coverage of some ancillary costs.

Collaboration and presentation. Accepted proposals will receive multiple opportunities to receive feedback and input from a global network of scholars. All accepted proposals will be invited to workshops with the project’s Academic Advisory Committee, including to receive input on the proposal, to review a draft of the research output, and to foster ongoing collaboration. Finished work will receive opportunities to present in academic and policy making forums.

Publication. Works will be included in the American University Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property open access research paper series . The project will encourage and create opportunities for publication, including by partnering with legal, economic and other journals to host special thematic issues. 

Honorarium and ancillary costs.  Upon delivery of the final paper, approved by the Committee for publication in PIJIP’s open access working paper series, each paper, regardless of number of authors, will receive a $2,000 honorarium. Awardees will also be eligible to apply to a research dissemination travel fund to present the work, including to attend meetings and conferences hosted by the project. In special cases, researchers or their institutions may apply for larger awards for reimbursement of additional direct costs of research, such as costs of accessing proprietary data sets or engaging in other forms of data gathering. (Accepted proposals will be required to submit personal or institutional U.S. tax and wire transfer information to receive a monetary award from the project. Our agreement with the Arcadia Foundation prohibits the payment of indirect or administrative costs on any award from this fund.)

Applications

Proposals are being accepted through our online form .

Each proposal is requested to define: 

the problem the research seeks to address, including the gap in the existing literature to be filled; 

the hypothesis (or claim) and methodology of the research.

For applications for awards beyond the honorarium, a budget is required reflecting anticipated costs and cost shares from other sources, which will be reviewed and approved by the Committee with all the applications.

Evaluation Criteria 

The Academic Advisory Committee will review applications in late May, 2021. Proposals are due by May 15, 2021.

The criteria to be used to select awards will include:

The relation of the proposed research to the project’s goals (50 percent);

Feasibility of the proposed research in relation to its budget (where applicable), including completeness of application and assessment of other contributions to the project;

Geographic diversity reflecting the major regional groups of the Civil Society Network on the Right to Research (including regional teams in Latin America/GRULAC, Africa, Asia (including India), Europe, and North America);

Balance in the subjects of research within the three categories of research focus described above;

Potential for collaboration with other researchers and with the civil society partners of the project; 

Inclusion of research on and by people from underrepresented or marginalized groups.

Applications due June 13

Vanderbilt University may submit two proposals per year to the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation Grant Programs for Organizations . The proposals must be from separate departments and each proposal must be submitted to a different grant program .

The foundation currently offers 3 organizational grant programs: Humanities , Research Libraries  and the Venetian Program (*note Vanderbilt is ineligible to apply to the Performing Arts Program).

Awards typically range between $5,000 and $25,000 and are for single-year projects. Awards do not support indirect costs.

For examples of projects that the sponsor has supported in the past, see the Humanities , Research Libraries and Venetian Program grantees page.

• The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation intends to further the humanities along a broad front, supporting projects which address the concerns of the historical studia humanitatis : a humanistic education rooted in the great traditions of the past; the formation of human beings according to cultural, moral and aesthetic ideals derived from that past; and the ongoing debate over how these ideals may best be conceived and realized.
• Programs in the following areas are eligible : history; archaeology; literature; languages, both classical and modern; philosophy; ethics; comparative religion; the history, criticism, and theory of the arts; and those aspects of the social sciences which share the content and methods of humanistic disciplines . The Foundation welcomes projects that cross the boundaries between humanistic disciplines and explore the connection between the humanities and other areas of scholarship. The geographical concentration is primarily but not exclusively directed toward European and American history and letters, broadly defined.
• The Research Libraries Program concentrates primarily in those areas of its founders’ interests and aims to be fully complementary to the Foundation’s other program areas (i.e., humanities scholarship, performing arts, and Venetian history and culture).
• The overall objective of the Research Libraries Program is to improve the ability of research libraries to serve the needs of scholarship in the humanities and the performing arts, and to help make their resources more widely accessible to scholars and the general public. Wherever possible, grants to libraries seek to promote cooperative cataloging projects, with an emphasis on access to archival, manuscript, and other unique sources; some elements of interpretation and exhibition; scholarly library publications; bibliographical and publishing projects of interest to research libraries; and collection-level preservation/conservation work and research.
• Small-scale digitizing is eligible for support when the process is part of a clearly defined and timely scholarly project that incorporates recognized standards for metadata production, for preservation, and for distribution. The Foundation does not support massive digitizing projects of a general nature.
• The geographical concentration is primarily but not exclusively directed toward European and American history and letters, broadly defined. Technological developments that support humanities research and access to humanities resources are also eligible. A limited number of modest grants will also be available for projects related to the history of the book, book culture, printing history, and related programs. Conferences designed to address these issues in collaborative ways and programs formulated to enhance or leverage similar activity by other institutions, consortia, or funding agencies will also be considered.
• This program supports institutions engaged in the research and dissemination of scholarship on the history of Venice and the former Venetian empire as well as contemporary Venetian society and culture.

Call for Proposals: CEI Seed Program 2024

Due: June 5, 2024

I. Introduction

The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) saw Vietnam make a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. However, without immediate action, Vietnam is projected to lose approximately 12 to 14.5 percent of its GDP annually, according to the World Bank, due to the impacts of environmental pollution and climate change. Environmental stewardship — encompassing adaptation to climate changes, mitigation of emissions, and fostering a sustainable culture — is quickly becoming a key prerequisite for Vietnam’s growth strategy.

Acknowledging the urgent need of this new era to be both technologically creative and environmentally responsible, the Center for Environmental Intelligence (CEI) focuses on understanding and addressing environmental and sustainability challenges through interdisciplinary approaches. These approaches integrate insights from fields such as environmental sciences, computer sciences, economics, and green technology. CEI strives to drive transformative solutions for a sustainable future and facilitate connections among experts from around the world to collectively solve sustainable development issues on a global scale.

The Center focuses its resources on four main pillars: (i) Environmental Monitoring; (ii) Living lab: smart cities, energy efficiency, and green technologies; (iii) Digital Materials Science; and (iv) Environmental Sustainability/Community Resilience.
