Limited Submissions
Limited submission programs have
sponsor restrictions on the number of
proposals that may be submitted by a
single institution and will require institutional screening to determine which
applications will be submitted. Dr. Jim
Guikema, Associate Vice President for

limited submission programs. Please
notify him at 785-532-6195, email:
guikema@ksu.edu, by the Internal due
date listed in the Funding Bulletin or by
at least two months prior to the sponsor
deadline if you wish to submit to a limited submission program. Currently

GENERAL
38-1 Innovation in Regulatory Science
Awards (BWF)
The Burroughs Wellcome Fund offers
Innovation in Regulatory Science Awards
to provide up to $500,000 over five years
to academic investigators who are addressing research questions that will lead to
innovation in regulatory science, with ultimate translation of those results into
improving the regulatory process. These
awards are intended to provide support for
Vol. 22, No. 38
academic researchers developing new
methodologies or innovative approaches
in regulatory science that will ultimately
inform the regulatory decisions the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) and others make. This would necessarily draw
upon the talents of individuals trained in
mathematics, computer science, applied
physics, medicine, engineering, toxicology, epidemiology, biostatistics, and systems pharmacology, to name a few.
Candidates who meet the eligibility
requirements may self-nominate by submitting an electronic preproposal by the
deadline.

38-2 Modeling Social Behavior (R01)
(NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for
developing and testing innovative theories and computational, mathematical, or
engineering approaches to deepen our
understanding of complex social behavior. This research will examine phenomena at multiple scales to address the
emergence of collective behaviors that
arise from individual elements or parts of
a system working together. Emergence
can also describe the functioning of a
system within the context of its environment. Often properties we associate with
a system itself are in actuality properties
of the relationships and interactions
between a system and its environment.
This FOA will support research that
explores the often complex and dynamic
relationships among the parts of a system
and between the system and its environment in order to understand the system as
a whole. To accomplish the goals of this
initiative, we encourage applications that
build transdisciplinary teams of scientists
spanning a broad range of expertise.
Minimally this team should include
investigators with expertise in the behavioral or social sciences as well as in computational and systems modeling
(computer science, mathematics, engineering, or other systems sciences).
Applications should demonstrate bridgebuilding between disciplines, scales and
levels. PAR-13-374 (NIHG 10/1/13)

ARTS & HUMANITIES
38-3 Heritage Grants (KHC)
Heritage Grants from the Kansas
Humanities Council are intended to support projects that preserve and interpret
local historical and cultural resources.
The goals of the program are 1) Provide
support for preservation and interpretation projects, 2) Encourage the use of
methods consistent with best standards
and practices in the field, 3) Increase public access to local and regional cultural
resources, 4) Strengthen relationships
between organizations through the use of
heritage consultants. Projects eligible for
heritage grant support include research,
oral histories, collections care, collection
digitization, language preservation, and
hands-on training. Using a knowledgeable heritage consultant and implementing acceptable best practices are the keys
to successful projects. This program is a
partnership between the Kansas Humanities Council and the Kansas Historical
Society.

38-4 Sustaining Cultural Heritage
Collections (NEH)
Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections
(SCHC) helps cultural institutions meet
the complex challenge of preserving large
and diverse holdings of humanities materials for future generations by supporting
preventive conservation measures that
mitigate deterioration and prolong the
useful life of collections. Libraries,
archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country are responsible
for collections of books and manuscripts,
photographs, sound recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art, and historical
objects that facilitate research, strengthen
teaching, and provide opportunities for
life-long learning in the humanities. To
preserve and ensure continued access to
such collections, institutions must implement preventive conservation measures,
which encompass managing relative
humidity, temperature, light, and pollutants in collection spaces; providing protective storage enclosures and systems for
collections; and safeguarding collections
from theft and from natural and manmade disasters. As museums, libraries,
archives, and other collecting institutions
strive to be effective stewards of humanities collections, they must find ways to
implement preventive conservation measures that are scientifically sound and sustainable. This program therefore helps
cultural repositories plan and implement
preservation strategies that pragmatically
balance effectiveness, cost, and environmental impact. 20131203-PF (GG 10/21/

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY
Research Fellowships (JCBL)
The John Carter Brown Library will
award forty Research Fellowships for the
year July 1, 2014–June 30, 2015. Sponsorship of research at the John Carter
Brown Library is reserved exclusively for
scholars whose work is centered on the
colonial history of the Americas, North
and South, including all aspects of the
European, African, and Native American
involvement. Short-term John Carter
Brown Library Fellowships are available
for periods of two to four months and
carry a stipend of $2,100 per month.
These Fellowships are open to citizens of
the United States and foreign nationals
who are engaged in pre- or post-doctoral,
or independent, research. The Library
also offers Long-Term Fellowships, several of which are funded by the National
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Long-Term Fellowships are for five to ten
months with a monthly stipend of $4,200.
These include NEH Fellowships, for
which an applicant must be a citizen of
the United States of America or have
lived in the U.S. for the three years preceding the application deadline. (TGA 10/

EDUCATION
38-6 Research & Program
Evaluations in Early Education (BEF)
The Brady Education Foundation seeks to
close the achievement gap for children at
risk for poor school outcomes due to environmental factors associated with living
in poverty. The Foundation pursues its
mission by promoting collaboration
between researchers and educators via the
funding of research and program evaluations in education. The Foundation funds
two types of projects: 1) Evaluations of
existing model programs 2) Innovative
research on model development, including both efficacy and effectiveness studies. The Foundation favors projects that
bring researchers and service providers
together to prove and improve the effectiveness of early care and education environments for children at risk for poor
school outcomes due to environmental
factors associated with living in poverty
projects that leverage other funds,
projects with the potential to inform or
guide policy of funding decisions,
projects that structure time for researchers/evaluators and program providers to
collaborate.

approaches to and evidence-based understanding of the design and development
of STEM learning in informal environments; provide multiple pathways for
broadening access to and engagement in
STEM learning experiences; advance
innovative research on and assessment of
STEM learning in informal environments;
and develop understandings of deeper
learning by participants. The AISL program supports five types of projects: 1)
Pathways, 2) Research in Service to Practice, 3) Innovations in Development, 4)

38-8 Petrology and Geochemistry
(CH) (NSF)
The Petrology and Geochemistry Program supports basic research on the formation of planet Earth, including its
accretion, early differentiation, and subsequent petrologic and geochemical modification via igneous and metamorphic
processes. Proposals in this program generally address the petrology and hightemperature geochemistry of igneous and
metamorphic rocks (including mantle
samples), mineral physics, economic
geology, and volcanology. Proposals that
are focused on the development of analytical tools, theoretical and computational
models, and experimental techniques for
applications by the igneous and metamorphic petrology, and high temperature
geochemistry communities are also
invited. Only two proposals per investigator, either as a PI, co-PI or in a subcontract, are allowed per CH target date. NSF
