2-2 Particulate Matter and Related
Pollutants in a Changing World (EPA)
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Vol. 23, No. 2
Agency announces the posting of the
Request for Applications (RFA), Particulate Matter and Related Pollutants in a
Changing World. Specifically, research is
sought on the changing spatiotemporal
patterns or environmental impacts of particulate matter in the United States, the
challenges that various aspects of global
change pose for the management of particulate matter and related pollutants, the
rates and timescales at which global
change can impact United States air quality, and stronger linkages between the
modeling of atmospheric processes and
other processes. In order to understand
and adapt to future changes, environmental planners and decision makers need
information on the challenge global
change presents for protecting the environment and human health; this solicitation seeks research on these challenges.

AGRICULTURE
2-6 Agriculture and Food Research
Initiative: Food Security Challenge
Area (USDA)
The long-term goal of the AFRI Food
Security Challenge Area is to sustainably
increase agricultural productivity and the
availability and accessibility of safe and
nutritious food. In FY 2014, priority will
be given to projects that will improve prevention, early detection, rapid diagnosis,
containment, mitigation, and recovery
from new, foreign or emerging pests and
diseases of crops or livestock that have
the potential to cause major impacts on
food security. The purpose of this work
should be the discovery of principles of
infectious disease transmission and the
spread of pests that can be integrated into
disease and pest management systems
during the course of the award period and
beyond. This includes, for example, the
spread of pathogens, the influence of
environmental factors such as climate; the

population dynamics and genetics of
reservoir species or hosts; or the cultural,
social, behavioral, and economic dimensions of disease and pest transmission.
Successful proposals will have the potential to significantly improve food security,
will identify achievable outcomes and
deliverables using a logic model, and will
demonstrate a close working relationship
with stakeholder groups. USDA-NIFAAFRI-004417

2-8 Landmarks of American History
and Culture: Workshops for School
Teachers (NEH)
The Landmarks of American History and
Culture program supports a series of oneweek residence-based workshops for a
national audience of K-12 educators.
NEH Landmarks of American History
and Culture Workshops use historic sites
to address central themes and issues in
American history, government, literature,
art, music, and related subjects in the
humanities. Each workshop is offered
twice during the summer. Workshops
accommodate thirty-six school teachers
(NEH Summer Scholars) at each oneweek session. The goals of the workshops
are to increase knowledge and appreciation of subjects, ideas, and places significant to American history and culture
through humanities reading and site
study; build communities of inquiry and
provide models of civility and of excellent scholarship and teaching; provide
teachers with expertise in the use and
interpretation of historical sites and of
material and archival resources; and foster interaction between K-12 educators
and scholarly experts. (GG 12/30/13)

2-12 Evaluating Promising Strategies
to Build the Evidence Base for Sexual
Violence Prevention (CDC)
The purpose of this announcement is to
support research to rigorously evaluate
the effectiveness of primary prevention
strategies for the perpetration of sexual
violence. The National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control’s research priorities for sexual violence prevention
include evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of programs, strategies, and policies across all levels of the social ecology
to prevent and interrupt the development
of sexual violence perpetration. In addition, the Center’s research priorities highlight the need to identify effective
programs, strategies, and policies that
might prevent multiple types of violence
concurrently, including sexual violence,
intimate partner violence, and other forms
of violence, and evaluating the economic
efficiency of such programs, strategies
and policies. Research funded under this
announcement will address these priorities by rigorously evaluating programs,
strategies, or policies for their impact on
rates of sexual violence perpetration in
one of two areas: a) strategies that engage
boys and men, or b) structural, environmental, and/or policy interventions. RFACE-14-005 (GG 12/16/13)
