1-5 2012 Conservation Innovation
Grant Funding Opportunity (USDA)
The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the
development and adoption of innovative
conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and
protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are
expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches into
NRCS policy, technical manuals, guides,
and references, or to the private sector.
CIG does not fund research projects.
Projects intended to test hypotheses do
not qualify for a CIG grant. CIG is used to
apply or demonstrate previously proven
technology. It is a vehicle to stimulate
development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have
been studied sufficiently to indicate a
high likelihood of success, and that are a
candidate for eventual technology transfer
or institutionalization. USDA-NRCSNHQ-12-01 (GG 1/4/12)

1-8 Math and Science Partnership
(MSP) (NSF)
The Math and Science Partnership (MSP)
program is a major research and development effort that supports innovative partnerships to improve K-12 student
achievement in mathematics and science.
MSP projects are expected to raise the
achievement levels of all students and significantly reduce achievement gaps in the
STEM performance of diverse student
populations. MSP projects contribute to
what is known in K-12 STEM education.
All STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields supported by NSF may be involved in this
work, with special encouragement to
areas that are gaining increased traction at
the K-12 level, such as computer science
and engineering, in addition to mathematics and science. MSP projects also serve
as models that have a sufficiently strong
evidence/research base to improve STEM
education outcomes for all students.
Through this solicitation, NSF seeks to
support two levels of Targeted Partnership awards, Implementation and Prototype. Implementation awards are intended
to develop and put into practice innovative approaches and strategies in education. Prototype awards explore potentially
innovative approaches and strategies in
education. Both types of Partnerships
incorporate significant new innovations to
STEM education, linked to a strong educational research agenda, in one of four
focal areas: Community Enterprise for
STEM Learning; Current Issues Related
to STEM Content; Identifying and Cultivating Exceptional Talent; and K-12
STEM Teacher Preparation. In addition,
there are three types of Research, Evaluation and Technical Assistance (RETA)
project opportunities in this solicitation:
research related to sustainability, or policies, or state plans for STEM education;
technical assistance for evaluators of
MSP projects; and the STEM Education
Resource Collaboratory. An individual
may serve as Principal Investigator or CoPrincipal Investigator on only one proposal (Prototype or Implementation) per
focal area. RETA proposers may submit
one or more RETA proposals, but they
may submit only one proposal (Prototype
or Implementation) per focal area. NSF
