4-3 2009 CARE Request for
Proposals (EPA)
Funding will be available in 2009 to support community-based partnerships to
reduce pollution at the local level
through the Community Action for a
Renewed Environment (CARE) program. EPA anticipates awarding CARE
cooperative agreements in two levels.
Level I cooperative agreements range
from $75,000 to $100,000 and will help
establish community-based partnerships
to develop local environmental priorities.
Level II awards, ranging from $150,000
to $300,000 each, will support communities which have established broad-based
partnerships, have identified the priority
toxic risks in the community, and are prepared to measure results, implement risk
reduction activities and become self-sustaining.

4-2 Organic Agriculture Research
and Extension Initiative (USDA)
CSREES announces the availability of
grant funds and requests applications for
the Organic Agriculture and Extension Initiative (OREI) for fiscal year (FY) 2009 to
solve critical organic agriculture issues,
priorities, or problems through the integration of research and extension activities.
OREI funds research and extension programs that enhance the ability of producers
and processors who have already adopted
organic standards to grow and market high
quality organic agricultural products. Pri-
Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) requests applications for Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) to
stimulate the development and adoption
of innovative conservation approaches
and technologies. There are four CIG
categories available in FY 2009: Natural
Resource Concerns Category, Technology Category, Chesapeake Bay Watershed Category, and Grant Leveraging
Category. CIG projects are expected to
lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and
innovative approaches (such as marketbased systems) into NRCS technical
manuals, guides, and references or to the
private sector. CIG does not fund
research projects. It is a vehicle to stimulate the development and adoption of
conservation approaches or technologies
that have been studied sufficiently to
indicate a likelihood of success, and to be
candidates for eventual technology transfer or institutionalization. USDA-NRCSNHQ-09-01 (GG 1/16/09)

4-7 Basic Research in Rotorcraft
Technology (DOD)
The Office of Naval Research (ONR),
Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department (ONR 35) is interested in receiving
technical and cost proposals for conduct
of basic research in technology areas relevant to rotorcraft. As basic research, proposed projects should develop new
scientific knowledge, improve theoretical
understanding, and provide a basis for
advances in rotorcraft technology.
Research topics should have the potential
for making significant contributions
towards Navy research thrusts and DoD
goals and missions. ONRBAA09-007

4-8 DoD Breast Cancer Impact and
Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Awards
(Army)
The Impact Award supports unique
research projects or ideas (from small- to
large-scale) that specifically focus on scientific and clinical breast cancer issues,
which, if successfully addressed, could
ultimately revolutionize the understanding and/or treatment of breast cancer and
move closer to the goal of eradicating the
disease. The most important aspect of the
Impact Award is the potential of the proposed research to have a radical, revolutionary impact on an area of paramount
importance in breast cancer. The research
project may be basic, translational, or
clinical. Pre and Postdoctoral awards support promising graduate students and new
doctoral graduates studying breast cancer
for up to three years. W81XWH-09BCRP-IMPT (GG 1/24/09)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) issued by the National Center for
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), the National Cancer
Institute (NCI), and the Office of Dietary
Supplements (ODS), National Institutes
of Health (NIH), encourages complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and
conventional researchers to carry out
basic and/or preclinical research on CAM
areas of special interest with an aim to
understand the mechanisms of action of a
CAM modality. This FOA will utilize the
Research Project Grant (R01) award
mechanism and runs in parallel with an
FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-08185, that solicits applications under the
Exploratory/Development (R21) grants
mechanism. PA-09-010 (NIHG 10/31/08)

4-11 Grants to Enhance Culturally
and Linguistically Specific Services for
Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating
Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking
Program (DOJ)
This program creates a unique opportunity for targeted community-based organizations to address the critical needs of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking victims in a manner that affirms a victim’s culture and
effectively addresses language and communication barriers. Research indicates
that survivors are more inclined to seek
services from organizations that are
familiar with their culture, language and
background that there is no one size fits
all approach to adequately addressing
these critical needs. OVW-2009-2043

4-12 Social Science Research on
Wrongful Conviction (NIJ)
The National Institute of Justice solicits
applications to inform its search for the
knowledge and tools to guide policy and
practice. NIJ is interested in stimulating a
scientifically rigorous body of research on
the topic of wrongful convictions, specifically focusing on the 200-plus cases of
exonerations based on the post-conviction
DNA examinations, and comparisons of
DNA-based and non-DNAbased exonerations. This solicitation is intended to support a more expansive and empirical
examination of wrongful convictions than
currently exists. In particular, this solicitation seeks to fund research on post-conviction DNA exonerations in the
investigation, trial, and post-conviction
stages of the criminal justice process as
well as a comparison to non-DNA exonerations. Proposals should seek to optimize the extent of the data that can be
collected in each of these three stages. A
strong preference will be given to proposals for the collection and analysis of data
in all three of these stages. NIJ-20091936 (GG 1/14/09)
