Tech + Innovation Funding Alerts | CrossComm

Every day, our partners talk to us about their goals, and the social impact they hope to achieve in the communities in which we live. Our role as a technology partner means we listen and learn about their opportunities and challenges. It comes with “big picture” expectations: people look to us to make sense of the technology, make sense of translating their project into a digital platform, and providing a unique perspective that enables our partners to move forward and shape their objectives.

CrossComm is dedicated to helping innovators create meaningful value, and part of that approach is to share resources and connections that empower our common cause — making a positive impact. Our Tech + Innovation Funding Alerts is a collection of funds and resources, both locally and nationally, aimed at supporting the development of disruptive technologies towards social good. If you are a change agent who would like to support innovative technologies, and have a resource or project you would like to include in our alerts, contact [email protected].

Laboratories to Optimize Digital Health
Application Due Date: March 1, 2022
NIMH seeks applications for innovative research projects to test strategies to increase the reach, efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of digital mental health interventions which may impact mental health outcomes, including suicide behaviors and serious mental illness. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to support the development of digital health test beds that leverage well-established digital mental health platforms and infrastructure to rapidly refine and optimize existing evidence-based digital health interventions and to conduct clinical trials testing digital mental health interventions that are statistically powered to provide a definitive answer regarding the intervention’s effectiveness.

Research on Emerging Technologies for Teaching and Learning
Proposal Deadline: October 18, 2021
The purpose of the Research on Emerging Technologies for Teaching and Learning (RETTL) program is to fund exploratory and synergistic research in emerging technologies (to include, but not limited to, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and immersive or augmenting technologies) for teaching and learning in the future. The program accepts proposals that focus on learning, teaching, or a combination of both. The scope of the program is broad, with special interest in diverse learner/educator populations, contexts, and content, including teaching and learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in foundational areas that enable STEM (e.g., self regulation, literacy, communication, collaboration, creativity, and socio-emotional skills).
