The National Endowment for the Humanities’ Archaeological and Ethnographic Field Research program makes awards for empirical field research to answer significant questions in the humanities. Archaeology and ethnography are important methodologies utilized by many disciplines across the humanities and social sciences that provide observational and experiential data on human history and culture.
The National Science Foundation’s Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace program welcomes proposals that address cybersecurity and privacy, and that draw on expertise in one or more of these areas: computing, communication, and information sciences; engineering; education; mathematics; statistics; and social, behavioral, and economic sciences.

Frontiers Mock Study Section |
|
Frontiers Clinical and Translational Science Institute will host Mock Study Sections semiannually to facilitate pre-submission review of National Institutes of Health, or NIH, R and K series grant applications. These sessions are intended to provide an advance review of planned proposal submissions by Frontiers-affiliated clinical and translational science researchers. The purpose of this program is to increase the likelihood of NIH funding success by providing feedback to prospective applicants on grant proposals prior to submission. The mock study sections simulate an actual NIH study section, providing timely feedback to prospective applicants using the NIH's review criteria.
Researchers who are interested in pre-review of an NIH grant proposal through the mock study section should complete the online Letter of Intent Form by the program cycle deadline. The LOI deadline for the fall 2022 mock study session is Monday, September 26. Frontiers Central will review LOI submissions to confirm eligibility and applicability of the mock study section review process. Accepted applicants will receive a link to submit their completed draft proposal as a single PDF by 5 p.m. on Monday, October 24, 2022.

The researchers determined several key dates in the inner core's history, including a more precise estimate for its age. The research provides clues about the history and future evolution of Earth and how it became a habitable planet, as well as the evolution of other planets in the solar system. NSF
Transplanting human cells into animal brains brings insights into development and disease along with new ethical questions….using neural chimaeras, scientists have found differences in how neurons develop and behave in Down’s syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease. But others warn that such chimaeras represent an ethical grey zone, because of the potential to blur the line between humans and other animals, …There will be plenty for regulators to keep an eye on.

Roughly 4% of the world’s population has used cannabis in the past year, so studying the effects of the drug matters on a global scale. As regulations continue to relax — the United Kingdom legalized medical cannabis in 2018, and, in April, New Jersey became the 18th US state to legalize it for recreational use — the opportunities for research into the drug are bound to expand. Nature
Grasses are highly diverse, yet only six or seven grass species provide most of the calories that humans consume. Domestication of grasses as crops began some 10,000 years ago and continues today to optimize the genetic basis of traits useful for crop cultivation. Techniques to maximize yields and utility of staple grain crops still dominate modern agriculture. Science
