| Global Action to End Smoking | Advancing Innovative Smoking Cessation through Dissemination, Implementation & Training Grants (Large Scale Projects) Consistent with its charitable mission, Global Action to End Smoking (GA) seeks proposals for innovative grant programs that disseminate science-based information about smoking cessation tools that are available to people who smoke, their healthcare providers, health journalists including the wider media community, and the general public. This Request for Proposal (RFP) will fund diverse strategies within GA’s strategic plan relating to its Dissemination, Implementation, and Training (DIT) workstream, tailored to the needs of respective countries or populations, that: (1) increase awareness of locally available cessation options and their importance, (2) correct widespread misperceptions about the relative risk of nicotine compared to combusted tobacco, and (3) disseminate accurate and consistent messaging about the potential role of reduced-risk nicotine products for smokers who cannot or will not quit using traditional interventions. Additionally, GA encourages strong implementation research that examines the important and dynamic contextual factors that may influence the effectiveness of interventions in specific LMICs, or for marginalized populations in HICs. GA’s goal is to fund investigator-initiated projects that generate new knowledge specific to populations disproportionately burdened by the smoking epidemic, and those that experience persistent tobacco-related health disparities. A geographic priority is countries with high smoking rates and disease burden from traditional tobacco use, with a focus on LMICs and the populations most at risk for premature morbidity and mortality. GA also prioritizes programs specific to marginalized groups within HICs with historically high smoking rates and those with poor cessation outcomes including, but not limited to, people of low socioeconomic status, sexual and gender minorities, people with mental health conditions or substance use disorders, and Indigenous peoples. | $2,000,000 | 1/17/2025 | Quarterly submission dates will occur in January, March, June, and September. |
| Global Action to End Smoking | Advancing Innovative Smoking Cessation through Dissemination, Implementation & Training Grants (Small Scale Projects) Consistent with its charitable mission, Global Action to End Smoking (GA) seeks proposals for innovative grant programs that disseminate science-based information about smoking cessation tools that are available to people who smoke, their healthcare providers, health journalists including the wider media community, and the general public. GA’s strategic objective is to accelerate comprehensive, science-based global efforts to end the smoking epidemic, with a focus on low-and middle-income countries and marginalized populations in high-income countries. This RFP is specifically designed for small-scale or “developmental” programs that are smaller in scope than large-scale or confirmatory programs. | $500,000 | 1/17/2025 | Quarterly submission dates will occur in January, March, June, and September. |
| Global Action to End Smoking | Ending the Smoking Epidemic by Advancing Global Research for Innovative Smoking Cessation (Large Scale Projects) In support of its charitable mission, GA invites research grant proposals for Ending the Smoking Epidemic by Advancing Global Research for Innovative Smoking Cessation. GA’s strategic objective is to accelerate comprehensive, evidence-based global efforts to end the smoking epidemic, with a focus on LMICs and marginalized populations in HICs. Proposals responsive to this RFP should fill scientific gaps in the evidence base related to tobacco use and smoking cessation through novel and non-duplicative research. This may include traditional cessation approaches, as well as the potential role of reduced risk nicotine products. All proposals should have a rigorous research plan that clearly defines (a) a significant unsolved problem and (b) a corresponding research question that describes specific and measurable study aims. This RFP is specifically designed for large-scale, population-level, or confirmatory studies with sufficient preliminary data to justify the study design, aims, and hypotheses. | $2,500,000 | 1/17/2025 | Quarterly submission dates will occur in January, March, June, and September. |
| Global Action to End Smoking | Ending the Smoking Epidemic by Advancing Global Research for Innovative Smoking Cessation (Small Scale Projects) Consistent with its charitable mission, Global Action to End Smoking (GA) seeks research grant proposals that aim to fill scientific gaps and identify new solutions that help individual smokers quit cigarettes. GA funds research on different approaches aimed at ending the global smoking epidemic, including research on both traditional evidence-based interventions as well as newer reduced-risk nicotine products for smokers who cannot or will not quit using traditional interventions. Additionally, if cessation interventions have historically been developed in HICs, there is a need for strong implementation research to examine the important and dynamic factors that influence successful adaptation of these interventions to the unique contexts of LMICs (e.g., cultural, political, social, economic, regulatory, tobacco-type product use). GA invites proposals for Ending the Smoking Epidemic by Advancing Global Research for Innovative Smoking Cessation. GA’s strategic objective is to accelerate comprehensive, evidence-based global efforts to end the smoking epidemic, with a focus on LMICs and marginalized populations in HICs. This RFP is specifically designed for small-scale or “developmental” research projects that are smaller in scope than large-scale or confirmatory research. The overarching goal is to provide support for investigator-initiated projects in the early/conceptual phases of research or other small-scale projects with high research efficiency. | $500,000 | 1/17/2025 | Quarterly submission dates will occur in January, March, June, and September. |

| BASF | Quantum Machine Learning for Predicting Molecular Spectral Properties - DEADLINE EXTENDED Currently, we utilize classical simulation methods, such as density functional theory (DFT), to predict molecular spectral properties. While such classical simulation methods provide reliable results, they have limitations in computational efficiency and accuracy, especially for larger, more complex molecules or reactions. To overcome these challenges and enhance predictive power, BASF is interested in exploring Quantum Machine Learning (QML) techniques, which have the potential to significantly improve both the speed and precision of spectral property predictions. We are looking for promising QML methods with the potential to exceed classical methods in terms of speed and accuracy. In a joint research project, we would like to evaluate the proposed QML method. The developed method should ultimately be applicable to different molecules, perform well on provided datasets, and be demonstrated on similar use cases.

| Mitsubishi Corporation Foundation for the Americas | Environmental Grants The Mitsubishi Corporation Foundation for the Americas supports environmental causes to support projects that align with four central aims: Biodiversity conservation - We promote the conservation of biological diversity and natural resources by supporting research, the establishment of protected areas, and strategies for valuing the natural environment such as Payments for Ecosystem Services. Environmental education - We support environmental education programs that raise public awareness about the environment, and foster greater appreciation for the value and scarcity of natural resources, and the importance of environmental stewardship. Environmental justice - We promote environmental justice by supporting the rights of marginalized communities to live in a clean and safe environment and participate in decision-making that impacts their environment. This helps to ensure that the burdens of industrial development are not unfairly imposed on those communities that are the most vulnerable to negative environmental impacts. Sustainable development - We support sustainable development by means of local livelihood development for communities in environmentally sensitive areas, support for small and medium size enterprises in developing countries, and by promoting sustainable business practices.
