GENERAL
21-1 Services Research for Autism
Spectrum Disorder across the Lifespan
(ServASD): Research on Early
Identification and Linkage to Services
for ASD (R01) (NIH)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) is to support
research that develops and tests service
system interventions that are broadly
implementable and that rapidly engage
young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in evidence-based treatment
and services early in life. The goals of this
FOA are to: 1) develop a service system
intervention that coordinates ASD identification, evaluation, and linkage to treatment and services for children with ASD
within the first two years of life; 2) test the
feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention in engaging young children with
ASD in care in multiple community settings; and 3) empirically demonstrate the
intervention’s implementability and generalizability to settings across the U.S. This
FOA focuses on intervening to improve
ASD service systems. It is not intended to
support the development or adaptation of
ASD screening tools, revalidation of
assessment instruments for use under
DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, nor the devel-

21-2 Expert IPM Decision Support
System (USDA)
The purpose of the EIPMDSS program is
to support development of expert systems that help guide, demonstrate and
multiply impacts of USDA supported
IPM programs. The goals of these IPM
programs are: 1) Improve cost benefit
analyses when adopting IPM practices,
2) Reduce potential human health risks
from pests and related management strategies, and 3) Minimize adverse environmental effects from pests and related
management strategies. Both the efficiency and effectiveness of these individual programs have historically been
increased by the expert systems made
available to the participants. The EIPMDSS created and maintained by the
successful applicant will help these programs maintain and communicate IPM
research, education, and extension priorities; allow a diverse group of stakeholders to obtain access to selected program
outputs; compile LOGIC model based
program reports; and synthesize program
impacts. EIPMDSS projects should substantially contribute to the long-term
improvement and sustainability of the
IPM portfolio. USDA-NIFA-SRGP004295 (GG 5/30/13)

Quality Program (USDA)
The goal of the National Integrated
Water Quality Program (NIWQP) is to
contribute to the improvement of the
quality of surface water and groundwater
resources through research, education,
and extension activities. Projects funded
through this program will work to solve
water resource problems by advancing
and disseminating the knowledge base
available to agricultural, rural, and
urbanizing communities. Funded

21-4 Digital Humanities Start-up
Grants (NEH)
The Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants
program awards relatively small grants to
support the planning stages of innovative
projects that promise to benefit the
humanities. Digital Humanities Start-Up
Grants may involve • research that brings
new approaches or documents best practices in the study of the digital humanities; • planning and developing prototypes
of new digital tools for preserving, analyzing, and making accessible digital
resources, including libraries’ and museums’ digital assets; • scholarship that
focuses on the history, criticism, and philosophy of digital culture and its impact
on society; • scholarship or studies that
examine the philosophical or practical
implications and impact of the use of
emerging technologies in specific fields
or disciplines of the humanities, or in
interdisciplinary collaborations involving
several fields or disciplines; • innovative
uses of technology for public programming and education utilizing both traditional and new media; and • new digital
modes of publication that facilitate the
dissemination of humanities scholarship
in advanced academic as well as informal
or formal educational settings at all academic levels. 20130912-HD (GG 5/31/

21-5 Enduring Questions (NEH)
The NEH Enduring Questions grant program supports faculty members in the
teaching and development of a new
course that will foster intellectual community through the study of an enduring
question. This question-driven course will
encourage undergraduates and teachers to
grapple with a fundamental concern of
human life addressed by the humanities,
and to join together in a deep and sustained program of reading in order to
encounter influential thinkers over the
centuries and into the present day. What is
an enduring question? The following list
is neither prescriptive nor exhaustive but
serves to illustrate. • What is good government? • Can war be just? • What is
friendship? • What is evil? • Are there
universals in human nature? • What are
the origins of the universe? Enduring
questions are questions to which no discipline, field, or profession can lay an
exclusive claim. In many cases they predate the formation of the academic disciplines themselves. 20130912-AQ (GG 5/

21-6 ROSES 2013: Rapid Response
and Novel Research in Earth Science
(NASA)
In order to address its strategic goals and
objectives, the Earth Science Division
(ESD) of the Science Mission Directorate
(SMD) acknowledges that there are
important and highly relevant research
topics and opportunities that cannot be
anticipated in annual disciplinary and
cross-disciplinary ROSES elements. In
particular, it is usually not possible to
solicit the following two types of activities: Research on Earth system events or
opportunities to collaborate that occur
unpredictably as rare and valuable targets
of opportunity and that require rapid provision of resources to enable immediate
research activity to take advantage of that
target of opportunity, and First-Time
investigations applying novel and innovative ideas to advance Earth remote sensing in a previously undeveloped area of
remote sensing theory, technology utilization, or scientific application. This program element solicits proposals that
advance the goals and objectives of
NASA’s Earth Science Division by conducting unique research to investigate 1)
unforeseen or unpredictable Earth system
events and opportunities that require rapid
response, and 2) novel new ideas of
potential high merit and relevance for
ESD science that have not otherwise been
solicited by NASA in the past three years.
