The Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Grants (AAG) Program supports research in the astronomical sciences, based on an inclusive and flexible approach. The Program allows for collaborative research grants for observational, theoretical, laboratory, and archival data studies in astronomy and astrophysics. The Program also considers proposals for projects and tools that enable or enhance astronomical research. Proposals may span multiple disciplines and/or areas of study, and may utilize multiple techniques.
In all cases, proposals must demonstrate the astronomical context of the work. (Proposals that do not adequately demonstrate the astronomical context shall be returned without review.)

General Research Priorities: • Strengthen local crop production and enhance food security.
• Address GPS disruptions affecting agriculture.
• Improve profitability through precision agriculture and sustainable practices.
• Explore new crops and enhance environmental protection in crop management.
Proposals should be submitted in one of four categories, ranging from regional one-year studies to multi-year national research projects. Economic contributions and the potential impact on the sector will also be considered.
Budget and Duration:
1. Regional/One-Year Proposals: Up to 10,000₪ for 1 year
2. National Scope Proposals: Up to 30,000₪ for 1 year
3. Multi-Year Expanded Proposals: 30,000₪ per year for up to 3 years
Prevalence of Various Forms of Distractions and Factors that Influence Driver Engagement.
This call seeks to explore the evolution and prevalence of driver distractions, with a focus on documenting new and emerging forms. Research should update recent developments, including but not limited to distractions from smartphones.
Budget and Duration: Depending on the project scope
Eligibility: Organizations outside of the U.S. should detail how regular project status meetings with AAA Foundation staff will take place
Individual, social, and contextual factors that impact motorists' decisions to drive while impaired
Research should review and synthesize factors influencing impaired driving, conduct research on how personal and contextual characteristics affect these decisions, and recommend actions to reduce impaired driving. The focus is on U.S. populations, with comparisons to other countries, and recommendations should follow the Safe System approach to enhance road safety.

These grants support investigator-initiated projects in all areas of ovarian cancer research. Projects designed to analyze data from already funded clinical trials are also considered.
The Drug Discovery Award program is designed to accelerate the translation of academic discoveries into new cancer therapies. It supports independent researchers at nonprofit institutions who are focused on lead discovery or optimization of therapeutic agents. Eligible therapeutic approaches include large molecules/biologics, small molecules, peptides, conjugates, and nucleic acids. Grantees benefit from the expertise of experienced biopharma R&D scientists, guiding them through the complex process of developing new treatments.
In collaboration with a major defense industry partner, iHLS is seeking companies/ researchers with proven capabilities in various fields for participation in a capabilities demonstration by the end of 2024. They are looking for AI algorithms designed to enhance battlefield understanding, provide recommendations, and support soldiers with the goal of improving operational efficiency and increasing system autonomy.
Key Areas of Interest:
Algorithms for object classification based on electro-optical sensors (ATR) on the ground, at near-ground flight level, and in the maritime arena.
Algorithms capable of data fusion from different modalities for scene analysis and understanding.
Algorithms for constructing situational awareness based on data obtained from various ground, air, sea, and multi-domain platforms.
Algorithms that combine the construction of a situational report and plan of action in order to give recommendations for decision-making and to drive an autonomous platform. The platform can be on land or airborne
Algorithms designed for running on endpoint hardware and can be used in stationary or deployed command and control systems.
Funding: Parties offering complete or partial solutions are encouraged to apply. Funding and resources will be allocated based on the scope of the proposed solution and its alignment with the project objectives.
Submission Process: Interested companies should submit their proposals through Call for AI Technologies - iHLS (i-hls.com) . Proposals should include a brief description of the technology, relevant experience, and how the proposed solution meets the key areas of interest.
