8-3 America’s Farmers Grow Rural
Education Grant Program (Monsanto)
Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of
the Monsanto Company, has announced
the launch of its America’s Farmers
Grow Rural Education program. The
grant program will provide grants in over
twelve hundred counties across thirtynine states to help strengthen local communities and education systems, especially in the areas of science and/or math.
Grants will be awarded based on merit,
need, and community support. The program invites farmers to nominate a public school district in their community to
compete for a grant. Administrators from
nominated school districts can then submit an application for either a $10,000 or
$25,000 grant to support a science and/or
math education program. To be eligible
to submit a nomination, farmers must be
at least 21 years old and actively engaged
in farming a minimum of two hundred
and fifty acres of corn, soybeans, and/or
cotton, and/or forty acres of open field
vegetables, or at least ten acres of vegetables grown in protected culture; and must
reside in eligible counties where a minimum of thirty thousand acres of corn
and/or soybeans and/or cotton and/or
vegetables are planted each year. (PND

Temperature Fluids (DOE)
8-13 Projects in Aging (RRF)
The objective of the Multidisciplinary
University Research Initiative (MURI):
High Operating Temperature Fluids
(“HOT Fluids”) Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) is to support
research into fluid materials development
that will enable Concentrating Solar
Power (CSP) systems to integrate with
energy conversion devices capable of
thermal to electric conversion efficiencies
greater than 50%. This FOA will take a
MURI approach that ensures awardees
bring together researchers from various
technical backgrounds in order to achieve
the discovery and a development of a liquid that is stable as a liquid from 0°C to
1300°C. This target must be achieved
while also ensuring that the fluid has the
necessary properties to be used in current
CSP plant designs. DE-FOA-0000567

GeoPrisms Program (NSF)
GeoPRISMS (Geodynamic Processes at
Rifting and Subducting Margins) is the
successor to the MARGINS Program.
The GeoPRISMS Program includes two
broadly integrated science initiatives
(Subduction Cycles and Deformation and
Rift Initiation and Evolution), linked by
five overarching scientific topics and
themes, where transformative advances
are likely to occur in the next decade, and
where a focused scientific program could
be most effective. These overarching science topics include 1) Origin and evolution of continental crust; 2) Fluids,
magmas and their interactions; 3) Climate-surface-tectonics feedbacks; 3)
Geochemical cycles; and 5) Plate boundary deformation and geodynamics. NSF

Research Initiative: High Operating
8-14 Research and Evaluation on
Violence Against Women: Sexual
Violence, Stalking, and Teen Dating
Violence (DOJ)
NIJ seeks proposals for research and evaluation on specific issues related to sexual
violence, stalking, and teen dating violence. The issue areas for sexual violence
research are the criminal justice response
to particular underserved populations, the
development and testing of instruments
with diverse populations, and testing of
innovative interventions aimed at improving initial criminal justice responses to
victims of sexual violence. Priority areas
for research on stalking are evaluating
offender interventions specific to stalking
behavior by current or former intimate
partners, and law enforcement and prosecutorial actions regarding particular stalking issues. In the area of teen dating
violence (i.e., adolescent relationship
abuse), applications are sought for additional waves of data for existing longitudinal projects. NIJ-2012-3089 (GG 1/27/
