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.

IUCRC Proposals for Research and Thought Leadership on Insurance Risk Modeling and Underwriting Related to Terrorism and Catastrophic Cyber Risks: A Joint NSF and U.S. Department of the Treasury Federal Insurance Office Call

Dear Colleagues:

This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) invites submission of proposals to the U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) program to provide use-inspired research analysis and thought leadership on issues affecting the insurance sector's modeling and underwriting of terrorism and catastrophic cyber risks. The goal of this DCL is to stimulate research in areas that support the effective provision of insurance against terrorism and catastrophic cyber risks. Such research will, in turn, develop best practices and tools; assess policy reforms or solutions that could provide insurers, governments, and other stakeholders with new data; and develop improved modeling and underwriting tools, methodologies, and practices. The DCL is jointly sponsored by the U.S. Department of Treasury Federal Insurance Office (FIO) and the NSF's Directorates for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP), Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), and Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE).

In this partnership, NSF and FIO support their respective missions. NSF has a mission to promote the progress of science; advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and secure the national defense. FIO has the authority to monitor all aspects of the insurance sector and administers the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program which provides a system of shared public and private compensation for insured losses resulting from acts of terrorism and ensures continued widespread availability and affordability of terrorism risk insurance. Further, as directed by the 2023 National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan and at the recommendation of the Government Accountability Office, FIO assesses the need for and possible structures of a federal insurance response to catastrophic cyber incidents. In support of these missions, this NSF/FIO partnership fosters collaboration between industry, academic teams, and the United States government to better predict and insure against the impacts of terrorism and catastrophic cyber risks. Achieving success will depend on cutting-edge scientific research, innovations in financial resilience, and the development of related tools, analytics, and other technologies.

Both terrorism events and catastrophic cyber incidents (whether terrorism related or not) present serious risks that share many common modeling and underwriting challenges. Challenges include the paucity of data for such events due to their historically low frequency of occurrence. The lack of historic event data limits the ability of insurers to predict future risk based upon past loss experience. In addition, both terrorism and catastrophic cyber risk present the potential for high losses because such events are commonly intentional and designed to maximize damage, resulting in significant potential insurer liability with impacts that can spread far beyond the initial target including cascading losses across broad geographic areas and business sectors.

These challenges hinder insurers' capabilities to adequately estimate financial exposure to terrorism and catastrophic cyber risk. The lack of accurate estimates, in turn, impedes insurers from fully underwriting these risks on a commercial basis (i.e., without a government backstop or other support).

NSF and FIO have an interest in supporting an IUCRC project that will focus on developing and refining terrorism and catastrophic cyber insurance modeling and underwriting with a view to strengthening the resilience of the United States' financial system. The objectives of the new IUCRC include: (1) helping insurers to estimate risk with greater certainty, thereby improving insurance pricing, coverage, and policyholder uptake; (2) contributing to the potential expansion of reinsurance and capital markets to help support these risks; and (3) informing the treatment of terrorism and catastrophic cyber risks in government programs.

PROJECT INFORMATION

IUCRC proposals in response to this DCL should be designed to bring together the insurance sector, academic teams, government, and other stakeholders to innovate and advance current terrorism and catastrophic cyber risk modeling and underwriting in support of the goals stated above. Teams responding to this call should conduct research on practice and policy reforms and/or solutions that provide insurers and other insurance industry stakeholders with improved or additional tools, data, and methodologies to increase their assumption of terrorism and cyber risk. Proposals should include plans to bolster the insurance sector's understanding of terrorism and catastrophic cyber risks by evaluating current modeling and underwriting practices and identifying data and issues that affect terrorism and catastrophic cyber risk perception and risk exposure within the United States.

IUCRC PROGRAM OVERVIEW

IUCRCs are powerful vehicles, developed by NSF, through which university faculty and students work with an industry consortium to carry out cutting-edge, use-inspired research focused on the collective needs of a sector of the U.S. economy. Information on IUCRCs, how they work, and other relevant information about them can be found on the IUCRC website: https://iucrc.nsf.gov/about/ and the IUCRC program solicitation: https://iucrc.nsf.gov/universities/solicitation/ .

To initiate an IUCRC, interested faculty teams at one or more universities should interview members of a targeted sector to: (1) identify the most important and high priority challenges facing the sector; (2) converge on a theme of high sector and university faculty interest; and (3) identify companies and other entities willing to participate in a center on the proposed topic.

The first formal step to forming an IUCRC is submitting an IUCRC Planning Grant proposal that demonstrates the interest of the private sector and other stakeholders in the proposed center. Planning Grant proposals or waivers of the planning grant process require submission of a preliminary proposal. If awarded, the proposal team receives funding to carry out industry sector discovery to refine their center research agenda and identifies potential center members willing to pay membership fees and join an industry advisory board for the center.

Investigators responding to this DCL with a Planning Grant proposal should use the following title format: "IUCRC: NSF/FIO: (title)."

A successful planning phase is followed by submission of a proposal for a Phase I IUCRC that has the potential to run for five years. After successful completion of Phase I, the center can compete for another 5 years (Phase II). During this time, center leadership and faculty continue to recruit dues paying members for their advisory board with the goal that, by the end of Phase II, the center is self-supporting without further federal investment.

SUBMISSION and AWARD INFORMATION

Planning Grant proposals or waivers of the planning grant process require submission of a preliminary proposal. Target dates for Planning Grant preliminary proposals are the second Wednesdays in September and March. Full proposal target dates are the second Wednesdays of December and June. See the NSF IUCRC solicitation for more details.

The review of submitted proposals to this DCL and any subsequent awards will be managed by NSF. NSF may share the identities of the Principal Investigator(s) (PI and Co-PI(s)) and the universities and industrial partners as well as the Project Summary of the proposed project and the unattributed reviews with FIO in order for the agencies to discuss and coordinate award funding. No other proposal documentation will be shared. As a funding partner of the IUCRC, FIO may also request access to data, software artifacts, and information provided by the PI if their proposal is awarded. Providing such access is at the sole discretion of the PI and is not a condition of an award.

FIO will be invited to post award meetings and discussions with recipients, as appropriate. FIO understands and acknowledges that the information about PIs, their proposal, and reviewers of such proposals is protected by the Privacy Act of 1974, and is to be treated as confidential.

Funding Radar: This week’s eight most interesting calls for proposals supporting the green transition

Here’s a list of funding opportunities in the EU, Africa and the US

In December 2019 the Commission launched the European Green Deal, a set of initiative s intended to put the EU on the path towards  the green transition , with the ultimate goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2050.

Although this was backed up by a flurry of climate regulations , progress has been slow and in the face of spiralling costs there has been a pushback against this ambition.

That led to a change of tack and d uring the  last Parliament plenary in Strasbourg , MEPs adopted the  Net Zero Industry Act , an attempt t o remodel the political ambition of cutting carbon emissions on the continent and present it as an industrial strategy.

However, politicians on the right are saying more is needed to ensure the Green Deal is a spur to economic growth. In a paper released last month , the European People’s Party (EPP) think thank , the Wilfried Martens Centre , says the Green Deal should be refocused away from climate policies and on to economic growth. The green policies of Ursula von der Leyen’s Commission have led to an “investment deficit” in Europe and has harmed industry, the report says.

V on der Leyen is vow ing to upheld the Green Deal in her campaign for a second term , but the co-leaders of the Greens party, Philippe Lamberts and Terry Reintke said the EU Green Deal is under threat of being dismantled if the far right gains significant ground in next month’s European elections . Given this, climate efforts would be replaced by a stronger focus on competitiveness and industrial innovation to fight the EU's low productivity and slow economic growth.

In the face of political uncertainties, the Commission is still putting out climate change related calls - with over 35% of Horizon Europe ’s budget allocated to research in this field .

A head of the elections, Science|Busines s has been looking at current grant opportunities in climate and green technologies.

The first is a call for proposals to overcome barriers and deliver solutions to enable the green transition under the Horizon Europe programme . Successful projects are expected to address barriers to adopting new knowledge and innovation for the green transition in Cluster 6 sectors (Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment), proposing pathways and facilitating the deployment of solutions for improved adoption by stakeholders and decision makers. Candidates can submit proposals up to 24 September 2024. More details are available here . 

The Horizon Europe’s Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change opened nine calls, with topics that range from developing and refining outcome indicators to measure progress on climate resilience, to researching the complex interplay between the climate and biodiversity crises towards more systemic approaches and solutions. The closing date is 18 September. More details are available here .

In addition, the Commission opened a call for proposals for financial support for SMEs in the agrifood sector under the GRAINS Project , which is allocating total funding of €490,500. Up to 60 agri-food SMEs will get up to €8,175 to implement green initiatives. The call is open until 31 May. More details are available here .

One of the partnerships funded by the EU , the Africa Europe Foundation is offering funding to establish a research partnership running from July 2024 to December 2025 in fields including sustainable finance, climate and development, and science, education and culture. The call is open until 23 May. More details here .

T he European Space Agency (ESA) is offer ing funding to develop and evaluate business ideas that use space resources to help companies address financial challenges and opportunitie s related to transitioning to a net-zero, climate-neutral economy and advancing green initiatives. ESA will co-fund 80% of the cost, or up to €200,000 , per award. The deadline for proposals is 19 May. More details are available here .

The World Health Organisation is allocating award s of up to US$25,000 to help in the promotion of ethically sound and equitable climate and health research . The agency will consider funding a small number of proposals up to US$ 50,000 for multi-country/multi-region studies. The deadline for proposals is 17 June. More details are available here .

There is an open call for America’s Seed Fund powered by National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund US - based SMEs working on environmental technologies and energy technologies. Each start - up can receive up to $2 million , and NS F a ccept s project pitches at any time. If chosen, the company will have to submit the full proposal anytime within a year of receiving the official invitation from NSF. More details are available here .

Rounding up this trawl is a call from the US Department of Energy’s agency Golden Field Office offer ing $30 million in grants to develop technology for concentrating solar flux to heat and power. Individual awards may vary between $750,000 and $10,000,000. Concept papers are due May 16, while the full application is due August 8. More details here .

In other funding news

Last week the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) partnership in health research, released the draft topics ahead of a call it will soon launch , to give applicants time to start networking and preparing a proposal. General details about the call are available here .

The four topics in the draft are still under consultation, so the final version could change.

One topic is a city-based approach to reducing cardiovascular mortality in Europe. The research aims to achieve improved outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) through better prevention, diagnosis and access to innovative treatments, while also providing healthcare providers with updated guidelines and more efficient pathways for managing CVD. More details here.

The second topic is finding novel endpoints for osteoarthritis (OA) by applying big data analytics to better understand and predict disease progression, validate patient-centered endpoints, and incorporate feedback from stakeholders, ultimately advancing OA management and treatment strategies. More details here .

Modelling regulatory sandbox mechanisms and enabling their deployment to support breakthrough innovation is the third topi c. The aim is to advance and facilitate the setting up of regulatory sandboxes for healthcare innovation , by cultivating understanding of the role they can play in product development and the steps involved in their implementation. More details here .

The final topic is deriving patient-centered clinical study endpoints f rom digital health technologies in order to establish a unified framework and consensus-based guidelines. This initiative aims to integrate patient-centered data into clinical trials, ensuring that therapies addressing patient needs are approved and reimbursed at levels reflective of their value to patients. More details here .
