FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES The USC Office of Research is accepting applications for the following limited submission: NSF-19-506: 2019 Partnerships for Innovation: PFI-RP Track. A PFI-RP project requires the creation of partnerships between academic researchers and third-party organizations such as industry, non-academic research organizations, federal laboratories, public or non-profit technology transfer organizations or other universities.  The intended outcomes of the PFI-RP track are: a) the commercialization of new intellectual property derived from NSF-funded research outputs; b) the creation of new or broader collaborations with industry (including increased corporate sponsored research); c) the licensing of NSF-funded research outputs to third party corporations or to start-up companies funded by a PFI team; and d) the training of future innovation and entrepreneurship leaders. Amount: up to $550,000 for three years Internal Deadline: March 8, 2019

Amount: varies
Application Deadline:varies—-The William T. Grant Foundation requests proposals for its Research Grants on Reducing Inequality program. The program supports research to build, test, and increase understanding of approaches to reducing inequality in youth outcomes, especially on the basis of race, ethnicity, economic standing, language minority status, or immigrant origins. The foundation is interested in research on programs, policies, and practices to reduce inequality in academic, social, behavioral, and economic outcomes.
Amount: $100,000 – $600,000 over 2-3 years LOI Deadline:May 1, 2019
—-The William T. Grant Foundation requests proposals for its Research Grants on Improving the Use of Research Evidence. In this focus area, we support research to identify, build, and test strategies to ensure that research evidence is used in ways that benefit youth. We are particularly interested in research on improving the use of research evidence by state and local decision makers, mid-level managers, and intermediaries. Research funded via this program must 1. Identify or test strategies to improve the use of existing research, 2. Identify or test strategies for producing more useful research evidence, or 3. Test the assumption that using high-quality research improves decision making and youth outcomes.
Amount: up to $100,000 – $1,000,000 over 2-4 years
Application Deadline:May 1, 2019
