GENERAL
26-1 Research to Characterize and
Reduce Stigma to Improve Health (R01)
(NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) encourages research grant applications to characterize the role of stigma in
health, life course development, and aging,
both in the U.S. and globally, and to test
interventions to prevent or reduce the
impact of stigma at the individual, community, health care system, and policy levels.
The goal of this FOA is to promote
research addressing the health-related
aspects of stigma, including the etiology
and perpetuation of stigma; its impact on
physical and mental health, well-being,
life course development, and aging; its
influence on health behaviors and on use,
access to, and quality of received healthcare services; its contribution to health disparities affecting vulnerable demographic
groups; and intervention strategies to
reduce health-related stigma and/or the
negative health and life course developmental impacts of stigma. Companion programs are PA-13-246, R21 Exploratory/

26-3 Networking Technology and
Systems (NeTS: JUNO) Japan-US
Network Opportunity: R&D for
Beyond Trillions of Objects (NSF)
The Division of Computer and Network
Systems (CNS) supports research and
education activities that invent new computing and networking technologies and
that explore new ways to make use of
existing technologies. The Networking
Technology and Systems (NeTS) program supports transformative research on
fundamental scientific and technological
advances leading to the development of
future-generation, high-performance networks and future Internet architectures.
Under this umbrella, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National
Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan have
agreed to embark on a collaborative
research program to address compelling
research challenges that arise from networks supporting future demands of
device proliferation and data objects.
This NSF solicitation parallels an equivalent NICT solicitation. Proposals submitted under this solicitation must
describe joint research with Japanese
counterparts who are requesting funding
separately under the NICT solicitation.
This program seeks joint Japan-US
research projects that leverage each
nation’s expertise and address these challenges via work in three areas: 1) Network Design and Modeling; 2) Mobility;
3) Optical Networking. NSF 13-574

26-4 Advancing Digitization of
Biodiversity Collections (ADBC) (NSF)
This program seeks to enhance and
expand the national resource of digital
data documenting existing vouchered biological and paleontological collections
and to advance scientific knowledge by
improving access to digitized information
(including images) residing in vouchered
scientific collections across the United
States. The information associated with
various collections of organisms, such as
geographic, paleogeographic and stratigraphic distribution, environmental habitat data, phenology, information about
associated organisms, collector field
notes, and tissues and molecular data
extracted from the specimens, is a rich
resource providing the baseline from
which to further biodiversity research and
provide critical information about existing gaps in our knowledge of life on
earth. The national resource is structured
at three levels: a central coordinating
organization, a series of thematic networks based on an important research
theme, and the physical collections. The
national resource builds upon a sizable
existing national investment in curation of
the physical objects in scientific collections and contributes vitally to scientific
research and technology interests in the
United States. It will become an invaluable tool in understanding contemporary
biological issues and challenges. Only
one Thematic Collections Networks
(TCN) proposal may be submitted by any
one organization as the lead organization.
Organizations may be involved in more
than one collaborative effort as a non-lead
proposal. NSF 13-569

26-5 Susceptibility and Variability in
Human Response to Chemical
Exposure (EPA)
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to
Achieve Results (STAR) program, is
seeking applications proposing research
to study life stage and/or genetic susceptibility in order to better characterize the
sources of human variability in response
to chemical exposure. The adverse outcome pathways (AOP) concept has the
potential to serve as a framework for
using susceptibility indicators, biomonitoring, and high throughput screening
(HTS) data in an integrated manner to
predict population responses to novel,
potentially harmful, chemicals. While
much emphasis has been placed on
improved biomonitoring and HTS
approaches, research is needed to under-

26-6 Investigators in the Pathogenesis
of Infectious Disease (BWF)
Five-year awards provide $500,000 to
support accomplished investigators at the
assistant professor level to study pathogenesis, with a focus on the interplay
between human and microbial biology,
shedding light on how human and microbial systems are affected by their encounters. The awards are intended to give
recipients the freedom and flexibility to
pursue new avenues of inquiry and
higher-risk research projects that hold
potential for significantly advancing the
biochemical, pharmacological, immunological, and molecular biological understanding of how microbes and the human
body interact. 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. To encourage applications from veterinarians, institutions that
nominate a researcher who holds the
D.V.M. will be allowed three nominations. Institutions may have a single additional nomination if they nominate a
researcher working in pathogenic helminths, mycology, or reproductive science.
