sponsor restrictions on the number of
proposals that may be submitted by a
single institution and will require institutional screening to determine which
applications will be submitted. Dr. Jim
Guikema, Associate Vice Provost for
Research, is the internal coordinator for
limited submission programs. Please
notify him at 785-532-6195, email:
guikema@ksu.edu, by the Internal due
date listed in the Funding Bulletin (FB
43-3) or by at least two months prior to
the sponsor deadline if you wish to submit to a limited submission program.

GENERAL
43-1 Virtual Organizations as
Sociotechnical Systems (NSF)
A virtual organization is a group of individuals whose members and resources
may be dispersed geographically, but who
function as a coherent unit through the use
of cyberinfrastructure. Focused investments in sociotechnical analyses of virtual
organizations are necessary to harness
their full potential and the promise they
offer for discovery and learning. The Virtual Organizations as Sociotechnical Systems (VOSS) program supports
fundamental scientific research, particularly advances in social, organizational and
design science understanding, directed at
advancing the understanding of how to
develop virtual organizations and under
what conditions virtual organizations can
enable and enhance scientific, engineering,
and education production and innovation.
An investigator may participate as a PI,
Co-PI, or other senior personnel in no
more than two proposals submitted in FY
2010 in response to this program solicitation. NSF 10-504 (GG 11/18/09)

43-2 Approaches to Assessing
Potential Food Allergy from
Genetically Engineered Plants (EPA)
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to
Achieve Results (STAR) program, is
issuing this request for applications
(RFA) for applied research on innovative
or improved methods to predict whether
or not a pesticide protein is a food allergen. Research to characterize the key
factors that influence human immune
responses to dietary proteins is needed in
order to better assess potential food
allergy from genetically engineered
plants. Proposals are requested on the
role of dose, route of sensitization, and/
or the physicochemical properties of
ingested proteins and their influence on
the development of immune sensitization, oral tolerance, or the elicitation of
allergic symptoms. The overall aim of
the research program is to improve safety
assessment for genetically engineered
plants by enhancing the ability to estimate the potency of unknown proteins
relative to known allergenic and nonallergenic proteins. EPA-G2009-STARH1 (GG 10/6/09)

43-3 Ethics Education in Science and
Engineering (EESE) (NSF)
The Ethics Education in Science and
Engineering (EESE) program accepts
proposals for research and educational
projects to improve ethics education in
all of the fields of science and engineering that NSF supports, especially in
interdisciplinary or interinstitutional contexts. Proposals must focus on improving
ethics education for graduate students in
those fields, although the proposed programs may benefit advanced undergraduates in addition to graduate students. An
eligible organization, as defined above,
may submit only one proposal as the lead
organization. NSF 08-530

43-4 Special Research Grants
Program- Potato Breeding Research
(USDA)
The purpose of this grant program is to
support potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
research that focuses on varietal development/testing and whose output will be or
include potato varieties. As used herein,
varietal development/testing is research
using traditional and biotechnological
genetics to develop improved potato
variety(ies). Aspects of evaluation,
screening and testing must support or
complement the development of
improved varieties. USDA-NIFA-SRGP002716 (GG 11/20/09)

43-5 Organic Agriculture Research
and Extension Initiative (OREI)
(USDA)
The OREI seeks to solve critical organic
agriculture issues, priorities, or problems
through the integration of research and
extension activities. The purpose of this
program is to fund projects that will
enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic
standards to grow and market high quality
organic agricultural products. Priority
concerns include biological, physical, and
social services, including economics. The
OREI is particularly interested in projects
that emphasize research and outreach that
assist farmers and ranchers with whole
farm planning and ecosystem integration.
Fieldwork must be done on certified
organic land or on land in transition to
organic certification, as appropriate to
project goals and objectives. USDANIFA-ICGP-002696 (GG 11/18/09)

43-6 Agrarian Studies Postdoctoral
Fellowships (Yale)
The Agrarian Studies Program appoints
fellows annually who are in residence for
the year, present a paper, and attend the
colloquia. This year the Program has four
Fellows whose diversity reflects the
breadth of the program, and a Research
Affiliate who has already made an important contribution to agrarian studies.
Applications are encouraged from knowledgeable “activists” and “public intellectuals” whose work on rural life transcends
the academy. The broad theme for the colloquium series of the Program in Agrarian
Studies, will be “Hinterlands, Frontiers,
Cities, and States: Transactions and Identities.” (TGA 10/09)
