Limited Submissions
Limited submission programs have
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

research practice and findings into K-12
learning settings. Through collaborations
with other graduate fellows and faculty
from STEM disciplines, teachers and students in K-12 environments, and community partners, graduate students can
gain a deeper understanding of their own
research and place it within a societal
and global context. The limit on the number of proposals per organization is one.

14-3 Entrepreneur Postdoctoral
Fellowships (Kauffman)
The Kauffman Foundation has
announced a new postdoctoral fellowship
program designed to advance innovation
and entrepreneurship among scientists.
The fellowship will engage 12 postdoctoral researchers in a yearlong program
of training and mentorship. The goal of
the program is partly to teach the fellows
the intricacies of commercializing a scientific breakthrough and partly to spark
their entrepreneurial fire.

14-1 Air Force Fiscal Year 2010 Young
Investigator Research Program (DOD)
The AFOSR’s Young Investigator
Research Program (YIP) is to support scientists and engineers who have received
Ph.D. or equivalent degrees in the last five
years (on or after 1 May 2004) and who
show exceptional ability and promise for
conducting basic research. The objective
of this program is to foster creative basic
research in science and engineering,
enhance early career development of outstanding young investigators, and increase
opportunities for the young investigators
to recognize Air Force mission and the
related challenges in science and engineering. Proposals addressing the research
areas of interest for the Air Force Research
Laboratory will be considered. AFOSRBAA-2009-2 (GG 4/3/09)

14-4 Global Change Ultraviolet
Radiation Monitoring Program
(USDA)
The purpose of the GCUVM Program is
to support research which: 1) Generates
an uninterrupted stream of climatology
data; 2) Determines mechanisms and
symptoms of plant and animal response;
and 3) Develops tightly integrated models to assess regional and national
impacts of multiple plant stressors. Climatology data provide a much needed
history of dosage, along with seasonal
and geographic variability. The GCUVM
also seeks to understand how ultraviolet
radiation alters plant and animal physiology, development, and ecosystems.
Finally, based on crop growth models
(adapted fur UV-B inputs), data on
Earth’s climate, radiation data, and satellite data, will enhance understanding of
regional climate-crop interactions. This
climate-crop assessment framework is
used to predict crop responses to environmental stressors, and ultimately provide valuable information for producers
and policy makers as they deal with a
changing climate. This program
announcement will compete and fund
these three program areas separately.

14-5 Interregional Research Project
#4 Minor Crop Pest Management
Program (USDA)
The primary goal of the Ir-4 program is to
provide safe, effective and economical
pest management solutions for growers of
minor/specialty crops. IR-4 facilitates
crop protection by providing expert assistance with product development and registration. Successful applicants will
demonstrate the capacity and commitment required to accelerate the registration of newer, reduced risk pest
management tools; expedite access to
these pest management tools for minor/
specialty crop growers, and conduct efficacy research to identify new and more
effective minor/specialty crop pest management solutions. The FY 2009 IR-4
Program will fund four geographicallybased IR-4 Regional Centers and an IR-4
National Headquarters. (GG 4/3/09)

to encourage outstanding students to pursue and complete graduate degrees in critical areas of national need, through
graduate programs at eligible institutions.
For the FY 2009 award cycle CSREES
intends to support graduate Fellowship
training grants for both Master’s and doctoral levels of study. Also, Special International Study or Thesis/Dissertation
Research Travel Allowances (IRTA)
awards will provide support for eligible

14-8 Teacher Quality Partnership
Grants Program- Recovery Act
(ARRA) (ED)
These supplemental funds, appropriated
under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), are
intended to help stimulate the American
economy. The Teacher Quality Partnership program seeks to improve the quality
of new teachers working in high-need
local educational agencies (LEAs) and
high-need schools by creating successful
and high-quality model Pre-Baccalaureate
Teacher Preparation programs and/or
Teaching Residency programs for those
qualified to begin teaching. Projects may
also include a school leadership component to train superintendents, principals,
early childhood educator program directors and other school leaders in high-need
or rural LEAs. The full program

14-9 American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act Research ProgramPresolicitation Notice (AFOSR)
This American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Research Program will create
new research jobs and new technologies
that will provide further economic stimulus. This ARRA Research Program will
investigate the underpinning science necessary to develop nanoscale additives for
novel fuels. The ability to dissolve or suspend additives or catalysts in fuels has
created the opportunity to develop new
sets of desirable properties for fuels for
aircraft, rockets, and satellites. An understanding of how these new catalytic processes occur and how multifunctional
catalysts can be developed will be investigated. A multidisciplinary effort is
required to address this developing opportunity including fundamental research in
chemistry, physics, surface and materials
science, and computational simulation
and modeling. Full Announcement
AFOSR-BAA-2009-3 will be posted
within 10 days of this presolicitation

14-13 Atmospheric Composition:
Modeling and Analysis (NASA)
The Atmospheric Composition Modeling
and Analysis program (ACMAP) at
NASA is oriented toward understanding
the chemical, radiative, and dynamical
processes controlling atmospheric composition of the troposphere and stratosphere. It achieves this through the
analysis of atmospheric composition
observations and their use to rigorously
test the theoretical understanding of the
atmosphere that is expressed in atmospheric models. ACMAP is also interested in prognostic studies utilizing tested
models, such as those that are often
requested for international assessment
activities. Preference is given toward
analysis of NASA observation utilizing
NASA-supported modeling tools.
