28-4 Digital Innovation Fellowships
(ACLS)
With support from the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation, the American Council of
Learned Societies is inviting applications
for the sixth annual ACLS Digital Innovation Fellowships. The program supports
digitally based research projects in all disciplines of the humanities and humanities-related social sciences. ACLS Digital
Innovation Fellowships are intended to
support an academic year dedicated to
working on a major scholarly project that
takes a digital form. Projects may involve
development of new digital tools that further humanistic research (such as digital
research archives or innovative databases), research that depends on or is
greatly enhanced by the use of such tools,
the representation of such research, or
some combination of these features.

tion, and attract broad scientific and public interest. CCIs are agile structures that
can respond rapidly to emerging opportunities and make full use of cyberinfrastructure to enhance collaborations. CCIs
may partner with researchers from industry, government laboratories and international organizations. CCIs integrate
research, innovation, education, and public outreach and include a plan to broaden
participation of underrepresented groups.
The CCI program is a two-phase program. Phase I CCIs receive significant
resources to develop the science and integrative elements of a CCI before requesting Phase II funding. Only one proposal
per eligible PI is allowed. NSF 10-585

28-7 Market-Based Approaches to
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
through Energy Efficiency in Homes
and Buildings (EPA)
The Climate Protection Partnerships Division seeks proposals from eligible entities
to advance national, regional, state, and
local energy efficiency programming by
utilizing market-based approaches to program design and delivery by fostering
information exchange on policies that are
supportive of these approaches. Proposals
must demonstrate the potential to create a
sustainable change in the market for
energy efficient products, services, and
best practices. Additionally, proposals
submitted for consideration must address
the following components: 1) identify
unique constituencies and approaches or
channels for working with stakeholders;
2) demonstrate an understanding of the
technologies and market structure for
delivery of the technologies, or best practices, to end users; 3) identify market barriers to greater adoption of energy
efficient technologies, or best practices;
and 4) delineate strategies for overcoming
barriers identified. The applicant must
also emphasize how the project will promote addressing environmental justice
(EJ) issues and concerns. EPA-OARCPPD-10-11 (GG 7/14/10)

HEALTH & LIFE SCIENCES
28-9 Epigenomics of Human Health
and Disease (R01) (NIH)
This funding opportunity announcement
(FOA) invites applications proposing
highly innovative research that will investigate the epigenetic basis of human diseases. These studies will discover and
define epigenetic marks or features and
their possible interactions in cells and tissues that are representative of various
human disease states, conditions, or precesses. Studies may also investigate the
mechanism by which epigenetic changes
occur in diseased or otherwise compromised states, and how these changes
result in phenotypic differences. RFA-ES10-002 (NIHG 7/9/10)

28-10 Partnerships for Next
Generation Biodefense Diagnostics
(R01) (NIH) (HHS)
The National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National
Institutes of Health (NIH) supports extramural research focused on understanding, controlling and preventing diseases
caused by virtually all infectious agents.
In response to threats presented by bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases,
the NIAID Division of Microbiology and
Infectious Diseases (DMID) has established research programs to facilitate
development of countermeasures for certain pathogens and toxins. Through this
FOA, the NIAID invites applications for
research focused on early stage product
development projects to establish proofof-concept for novel or emerging, rapid
and innovative clinical diagnostic technologies, that do not involve nucleic acid
amplification methods to detect NIAID
Category A, B, or C Priority Pathogens

28-11 Investigators in the Pathogenesis
of Infectious Disease (BWF)
This program provides opportunities for
assistant professors to bring multidisciplinary approaches to the study of human
infectious diseases. The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for
accomplished investigators still early in
their careers to study the pathogenesis of
infectious disease at its most fundamental
level - the points where human and microbial systems connect. The program supports research that sheds light on the
fundamentals that affect the outcomes of
this encounter: how colonization, infec-
tion, commensalism, and other relationships play out at levels ranging from
molecular interactions to systemic ones.
BWF is particularly interested in work
focused on the host, as well as host-pathogen studies originating in viral, bacterial,
fungal, or parasite systems. A U.S. or
Canadian institution - including its medical school graduate schools, and all affiliated hospitals and research institutes may nominate up to two candidates.

SOCIAL SCIENCES
28-12 Social Change Research (SIF)
The Sociological Initiatives Foundation,
which was established to support research
that furthers social change, including language learning and behavior and its intersection with social and policy questions,
is accepting concept applications for its
annual grant program. The foundation
specifically supports research that focuses
on social policy objectives, institutional
and educational practices, legislative and
regulatory changes, linguistic issues (e.g.,
literacy, language loss and maintenance,
language policy, language and national
security, bilingualism, language and gender, language and law, language disabilities, language and health, language and
education, different language cultures),
and development of community capacity
and organization of previously unorganized groups. Funded research should
ideally build an organization or constituency’s potential to expand public knowledge, impact policy, and create social
change. (PND 7/9/10)
