OPEN DEADLINE

Funding Programs with Open Deadlines Sponsor Andrew W Mellon Foundation, US Program Name/ URL Grants Synopsis The Foundation has a long-standing interest in scholarly Open communications. The primary objective of the foundation’s interest in scholarly communications is to promote the cost-effective creation, dissemination, accessibility, and preservation of high-quality scholarly resources in humanistic studies, broadly defined. Within the scholarly communications program, grant making occurs in these four main categories: new methods of creating scholarly resources; innovations in scholarly publication; cataloging and other forms of intellectual access, Research in Information Technology ,Museums and Art Conservation, Performing Arts ,Conservation and the Environment. This program provides funding for solutions to urgent health challenges in the developing world, including but not limited to HIV/Aids, malaria, tuberculosis, acute diarrhea illness, acute lower respiratory infections, reproductive and maternal health, vaccine-preventable diseases and malnutrition. The foundation favors preventive approaches and collaborative endeavors with government, philanthropic and not-for-profit partners. Open Deadline Bill and Melinda Global Health Grants Gates Foundation Throughout the year British Geriatrics Therapist's Study Grant in Society the Care of Older People (Travel Grant or Conference Attend) Carnegie Corporation Education The Society offers a limited number of grants to qualified Any time of the year therapists with an expressed special interest in the care of older patients to: attend conferences, seminars and meetings of an innovative nature which will enhance their understanding and appreciation of the special needs of older patients; and/or visit a geriatric ward which has an innovative service approach, special program or project for the care of older patients. Program supports efforts to improve teaching and learning Open that have the potential to make a lasting and long-term contribution to the field of education. That history resonates throughout our current educational work in education, which is focused on three major areas: 1) advancing literacy: reading to learn, 2) urban school reform, and 3) teacher education reform. A theme that unites these subprograms is the overall goal of increasing access to quality education and a rich educational experience for all students that will prepare them for success in today's knowledge-based economy. Sponsor is committed to the advancement of scientific Open research and recognizes the importance of attending meeting and conferences. In order to provide more opportunities for young investigators, the sponsor is offering limited funding to cover scientific meeting expenses. Payments will be made only as reimbursement for expenses already incurred. Applicants who request partial payment are more likely to be funded than those seeking full reimbursement for the entire conference cost.

It favors solutions which directly benefit local communities and serve as exemplars for saving species and wild lands. It recognizes the imperative to reconcile nature preservation with human needs and aspirations. Supports projects dealing with the survival of wildlife, wild land, and the vitalities of human communities with which they are linked. The sponsor focuses on projects in developing countries and the US. Program supports scholarly field research worldwide in the biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences. Earthwatch's mission is to provide scientists with the funding and labor they need in the form of motivated, dedicated, paying volunteers. This unique funding model enables Earthwatch to support research in a variety of disciplines, dependent only on a researcher's need for volunteers and Earthwatch's ability to find them. In particular, Earthwatch is interested in supporting typically under-represented groups, such as early career scientists, women in science, and developing country nationals.

To meet these broad objectives, the international program focuses on several areas of concern. The Foundation works to encourage peace within and among countries, conserve global biological diversity, support responsible reproductive choices and reduction of maternal mortality, and protect human rights and strengthen the system of international justice. While migration is an age-old phenomenon, its current scale and particular characteristics make it an issue of rising global concern at the outset of the 21st century. Immigration into the United States and Western Europe is part of a global system of population movement. Worldwide, some 200 million people are now living outside their country of origin. Today’s migrants use contemporary transportation and communication technologies to maintain strong home country ties; these same technologies encourage the back-and-forth movements of “circular migration.” The John Merck Fund makes grants in five program areas: Developmental Disabilities, Environment, Reproductive Health, Human Rights and Job Opportunities.
