GENERAL
25-1 Outstanding New Environmental
Scientist Award (ONES) (R01) (HHS)
The goal of the Outstanding New Environmental Scientist Award is to identify and
attract outstanding new environmental
health researchers and encourage their
early transition to independence. This
funding opportunity announcement (FOA)
targets exceptionally talented early stage
investigators who intend to make a longterm career commitment to research in the
mission areas of the NIEHS and assist
them in launching an innovative research
program focusing on problems of environmental exposures and human biology,
human pathophysiology and human disease. One application per school or college
within a university will be accepted. RFAES-10-004 (NIHG 6/18/10)

The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH)/ Centers for
Vol. 19, No. 25
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
invites grant applications for Education
and Research Centers (ERC) that are
focused on occupational safety and
health training and research training.
ERCs are academic institutions that provide interdisciplinary graduate training
and continuing education in the core
occupational safety and health areas of
industrial hygiene (IH), occupational
health nursing (OHN), occupational
medicine residency (OMR), occupational
safety (OS), as well as other closely

25-4 Small Business Innovation
Research Program Phase I (USDA)
The purpose of the SBIR program is to
provide an opportunity for US-owned,
for-profit small business firms to submit
innovative, applied, research and development projects that address important
problems facing American agriculture
and have the potential to lead to significant public benefit if the research is successful. Research proposals are accepted

25-5 Rapid Response Research
Grants
In light of the recent oil spill in the Gulf
of Mexico, NSF would like to remind you
that the National Science Foundation has
in place a mechanism to receive and
review proposals having a severe urgency
with regard to availability of, or access to
data, facilities or specialized equipment,
as well as quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters and similar unanticipated events. RAPID is a
special grant mechanism developed specifically to respond to unusual circumstances where a timely response is
essential to achieving research results. To
help determine whether the proposed
research is appropriate for NSF’s RAPID
funding, potential investigators must contact the NSF program officer(s) most germane to the proposal topic before
submitting a RAPID proposal. To ensure
that all resources and possible innovations
are available to help solve this terrible
disaster, NSF is encouraging all companies that have viable solutions to help
solve this problem to submit a one time
only proposal to this special announcement. NSF 10-060

byproduct, source, and special nuclear
material to ensure adequate protection of
public health and safety, to promote the
common defense and security, and to protect the environment. The Energy Policy
Act of 2005 authorized the NRC Nuclear
Education Grant Program to support
courses, studies, training, curricula, and
disciplines pertaining to nuclear safety,
nuclear security, and nuclear environmental protection, and other fields that the
commission determines to be critical to
the NRC’s regulatory mission. The NRC
Nuclear Education Grant program’s primary purpose is supporting and developing the educational infrastructure
necessary to allow the Nation to safely
move its nuclear energy initiatives forward. HR-FN-0610-EDUS (GG 6/2/10)

DARPA is soliciting innovative research
proposals in the area of knowledge management and software support for mission
planning. Proposed research should
investigate innovative approaches that
enable revolutionary advances in science,
devices, or systems. Specifically excluded

25-8 Frontiers in Earth System
Dynamics (NSF)
The Earth is often characterized as
dynamic because its systems are variable
over space and time, and they can respond
rapidly to multiple perturbations. The
goals of the Frontiers in Earth-System
Dynamic (FESD) program are to: 1) foster an interdisciplinary and multi-scale
understanding of the interplay among and
within the various sub-systems of the
Earth, 2) catalyze research in areas poised
for a major advance, 3) improve data resolution and modeling capabilities to more
realistically stimulate complex processes
and forecast disruptive or threshold
events, and 4) improve knowledge of the
resilience of the Earth and its subsystems.
An individual may serve as Director
(project, center or collaboratory director)
on only one FESD proposal (either Type I
or Type II), but may be involved in a second proposal in another capacity. NSF 10577

(FOA) issued by the National Cancer
Institute (NCI), and the National Center
for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, (NCCAM) encourages the submission of grant applications that
characterize the effects of microbially
generated metabolites of dietary components on host cell biology. One of the

Development Program (U01) (NIH)
(HHS)
The objective of this solicitation is to
stimulate research in the pre-clinical
development and testing of novel therapeutic compounds aimed at slowing, halting, or reversing the progressive decline
in cognitive function and modifying the
behavioral symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease (AD); or delaying the onset of or preventing AD, mild cognitive impairment
(MCI), or age-related cognitive decline.
For this program neither mechanistic/
basic studies nor clinical trials will be
supported; only applications to develop a
therapy will be accepted. PA-10-205

25-11 Small Grants on Primary
Immunodeficiency Diseases (R03)
(NIH)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) is to support small
grants in primary immunodeficiency diseases focusing on ex vivo studies with
human specimens and on studies with
current or new animal models, including
novel clinical strategies for detecting,
identifying the molecular basis of, or
developing innovative therapies for primary immunodeficiency diseases. The
R03 grant mechanism supports different
types of projects including pilot and feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research
projects; development of research methodology; and development of new
research technology. This FOA will utilize the NIH Small Research Grant (R03)
award mechanism and runs in parallel
with an FOA of identical scientific scope,
PA-10-148, that encourages applications
under the R21 grant mechanism. PA-10147 (NIHG 3/26/10)

25-12 Establishment of a Partnership
in English with Kabul University,
Afghanistan (USAID) (STATE)
The Public Affairs Section of the U.S.
Embassy in Kabul announces an open
competition for a cooperative agreement
to establish a Partnership between a U.S.
four year college or university, or a U.S.
non-profit organization in partnership
with a U.S. four-year college or university, and Kabul University in the primary
field of the teaching and learning of
English language and literature. This partnership will focus on creating a framework for evaluating learning that is based
on educational research methodologies
and that can be applied in university
classrooms and in university computer
learning centers. The strengthening of
higher education in Afghanistan is a compelling and critical need. There is a shortage of professionals and leaders to meet
the needs of reconstruction, growth, and
poverty reduction. It is essential to establish and maintain high academic standards at the university level to improve
the quality of the education sector.
