GENERAL
42-1 Plant Feedstock Genomics for
Bioenergy (DOE)
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of
Science, Office of Biological and Environmental research (OBER), and the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s National
Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA),
announce their interest in receiving applications for genomics-based research that
will lead to the improved use of biomass
and plant feedstocks for the production of
fuels such as ethanol or renewable chemical feedstocks. Specifically, applications
are sought for fundamental research on
plants that will improve biomass characteristics, biomass yield, or sustainability.
Systems biology approaches to identify
genetic indicators enabling plants to be
efficiently bred or manipulated, or
research to predict phenotype form underlying genotype that could lead to improved
feedstock characterization and sustainability are also encouraged. DE-FOA-0000417

42-4 Major Research
Instrumentation Program (NSF)
The Major Research Instrumentation
Program (MRI) serves to increase access
to shared scientific and engineering
instruments for research and research
training in our Nation’s institutions of
higher education, museums, science centers, and not-for-profit organizations.
This program especially seeks to
improve the quality and expand the
scope of research and research training in
science and engineering, by providing
shared instrumentation that fosters the
integration of research and education in
research-intensive learning environments. Development and acquisition of
research instrumentation for shared interand/or intra-organizational use are
encouraged, as are development efforts
that leverage the strengths of private sectors partners to build instrument development capacity at academic institutions.
Cost-sharing at the level of 30% of the
total project cost is required for Ph.D.granting institutions of higher education
and for non-degree-granting organizations. Non-Ph.D.-grant institutions of
higher education are exempt from the
cost-sharing requirement. The limit on
number of proposals per organization is
three. If three proposals are submitted, at
least one of the proposals must be for
instrument development (i.e., no more
than two proposals may be for instru-
ment acquisition. NSF 11-503

42-5 Laura Bush 21st Century
Librarian Program (IMLS)
This program supports projects to develop
faculty and library leaders, to recruit and
educate the next generation of librarians,
to conduct research on the library profession, and to support early career research
on any area of library and information science by tenure-track, untenured faculty in
graduate schools of library and information science. It also supports projects to
attract high school and college students to
consider careers in libraries, to build institutional capacity in graduate schools of
library and information science, and to
assist in the professional development of
librarians and library staff. L21-FY11

data. Specific NSDI CAP areas of emphasis include: documenting, implementing,
and providing outreach for FGDC
geospatial standards including metadata;
expanding geographic information coordination and collaboration across and
between organizational levels; promoting
geospatial best practices; and advancing
the implementation and exchange of common geospatial data, services, and applications.

Asia Composition, Cloud, Climate Coupling Regional Study (SEAC4RS) solicits
proposals for participation in two airborne
campaigns to be conducted in 2010 to
investigate atmospheric processes related
to deep convection, chemistry/photochemistry, aerosols and clouds in mid-latitude and tropical environments. Multiple

NASA and the National Science Foundation plan to collaborate to conduct two
synergistic campaigns designed to sample
the atmosphere in two very different convective environments: summer mid-latitude continental North America and fall
tropical Southeast Asia. Through this call,
the Upper Atmosphere Research Program, the Radiation Science Program, the
Tropospheric Chemistry Program, and the
Atmospheric Composition Modeling and
Analysis Program seek campaign leadership, instrumentation teams, satellite
teams and campaign support/data analysis
teams for participation in these studies.

The Ecology of Infectious Diseases program supports the development of predictive models and the discovery of
principles governing the transmission
dynamics of infectious disease agents.
Research proposals should focus on
understanding the ecological, evolutionary and socio-ecological determinants of
transmission by vectors or abiotic agents;
the population dynamics and genetics of
reservoir species; the transmission to
humans, other non-human animals or
plants; or the cultural, social behavioral
and economic dimensions of disease communication. Research may be on
zoonotic, vector-borne or enteric diseases
of either terrestrial, freshwater, or marine
systems and organisms, including diseases on non-human animals and plants,
at any scale from specific pathogens to
inclusive environmental systems. Proposals for research on disease systems of
