DOE 12b: Magnetocaloric Materials Development

Magnetocaloric materials (MCMs) have great potential to lower the energy consumption and carbon footprint of technologies used in building cooling, refrigeration, and gas liquefaction (e.g. in the liquefaction of hydrogen or natural gas).

DOE 11a: Energy Efficient Solid-State Lighting Luminaires, Products, and Systems

The DOE has estimated that advancing energy efficient electric lighting in U.S. buildings could conserve more than 50% of lighting energy with corresponding savings in electricity costs to building operators. These technologies also could reduce utility generation costs with reductions in load, especially during peak consumption. Although SSL sales increase annually, industry stakeholders generally acknowledge that even higher rates of growth and attendant energy conservation are possible by developing and promoting advanced SSL luminaire designs, components, controls and systems that take full advantage of the unique performance capabilities of emerging SSL technology. This is the subject of the present technical topic.

NIH: Image-guided Drug Delivery

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support innovative research projects that are focused on image-guided drug delivery (IGDD), including real-time image guidance, monitoring, quantitative in vivo characterizations and validation of delivery and response. It will support research in development of integrated imaging-based systems for delivery of drugs or biologics in cancer and other diseases, quantitative imaging assays of drug delivery, and early intervention.

NIH: Exploratory/Developmental Bioengineering Research Grants (EBRG) [R21]
November 24,2015

NIH: Exploratory/Developmental Bioengineering Research Grants (EBRG) [R21]

The purpose of this FOA is to encourage Exploratory/Developmental Bioengineering Research Grants (EBRG) applications which establish the feasibility of technologies, techniques or methods that: 1) explore a unique multidisciplinary approach to a biomedical challenge; 2) are high-risk but have a considerable pay-off; and 3) develop data which can lead to significant future research. An EBRG application may propose hypothesis-driven, discovery-driven, developmental, or design-directed research and is appropriate for evaluating unproven approaches for which there is minimal or no preliminary data.
