14-5 Reducing Health Disparities
Among Minority and Underserved
Children (R01) (NIH)
This initiative encourages research that
targets the reduction of health disparities
among children. Specific targeted areas
of research include biobehavioral studies that incorporate multiple factors that
influence child health disparities such as
biological (e.g., genetics, cellular, organ
systems), lifestyle factors, environmental
(e.g., physical and family environments)
social (e.g., peers), economic, institutional, and cultural and family influences; studies that target the specific
health promotion needs of children with a
known health condition and/or disability;
and studies that test and evaluate the comparative effectiveness of health promotion
interventions conducted in traditional and
nontraditional settings. PA-14-033 (NIHG

AGRICULTURE
14-6 Funding to Train and Educate
Next Generation of Farmers and
Ranchers (USDA)
The Beginning Farmer and Rancher
Development Program (BFRDP) is an
education, training, technical assistance
and outreach program designed to help
farmers, ranchers and managers of nonindustrial private forest land—specifically those aiming to start farming and
those who have been farming or ranching
for 10 or fewer years. It is managed by the
National Institutes of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). NIFA will competitively
award grants to organizations conducting
programs to help beginning farmers and
ranchers. Priority will be given to projects
that are partnerships and collaborations
led by or including non-governmental,
community-based, or school-based agricultural educational organizations.

14-7 Supplemental and Alternative
Crops Competitive Grants Program
(USDA)
NIFA requests applications for the Supplemental and Alternative Crops Competitive Grants Program (SACC) for fiscal
year (FY) 2014 to significantly increase
crop production and/or acreage by developing and testing superior germplasm,
improving methods of planting, cultivation, and harvesting, and transferring new
knowledge to producers (via Extension)
as soon as practicable. Among supplemental and alternative crops, the United
States does not produce enough canola to
meet its consumption needs. Knowledge
and germplasm gaps must be filled,
including: 1) adaptation of varieties of
canola to address emerging issues of
importance to U.S. agriculture; 2) establishment and extension of various methods of planting, cultivating, harvesting,
and processing canola; and 3) transfer of
such applied research to on-farm practice
as soon as practicable. In FY 2014, the
SACC program will support the development of canola as a viable supplemental
and alternative crop in the United States.

EDUCATION
14-8 Advancing Informal STEM
Learning (AISL) (NSF)
The Advancing Informal STEM Learning
(AISL) program seeks to advance new
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 six types of projects: 1)
Pathways, 2) Research in Service to Practice, 3) Innovations in Development, 4)
Broad Implementation, 5) Conferences,
Symposia, and Workshops, and 6) Science Learning+ Proposals. NSF 14-555

14-9 GeoPrisms Program (NSF)
GeoPRISMS (Geodynamic Processes at
Rifting and Subducting Margins) is the
successor to the MARGINS Program.
GeoPRISMS will investigate the coupled
geodynamics, earth surface processes,
and climate interactions that build and
modify continental margins over a wide
range of timescales. These interactions
cross the shoreline and have applications
to margin evolution and dynamics, construction of stratigraphic architecture,
accumulation of economic resources, and
associated geologic hazards and environmental management. The GeoPRISMS
Program includes two broadly integrated
science initiatives (Subduction Cycles
and Deformation and Rift Initiation and
Evolution). NSF 14-556

14-10 Navy and Marine Corps Science,
Technology, Engineering (DoD)
The Office of Naval Research (ONR)
seeks proposals for developing innovative
solutions that directly support the development and maintenance of a robust Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) workforce. The
goal of any proposed effort should be to
provide game changing solutions that will
establish and maintain a diverse pipeline
of U.S. citizens who are interested in uniformed or civilian Naval STEM related
workforce opportunities. While this
announcement is relevant for any stage of
the STEM pipeline, for FY14, funding
efforts will be targeted primarily towards
High School, Undergraduate, and Graduate STEM education and outreach
designed to enhance the Navy and Marine
Corps STEM workforce and its mission
readiness. Currently, we are especially
interested in efforts related to developing
information technology/ computer science/ cyber security expertise, strengthening the engineering disciplines across all
Naval activities, as well as improving our
technician pipeline. ONRFOA14-002

INTERNATIONAL
14-11 International Research Network
Connections (IRNC) (NSF)
The International Research Network Connections (IRNC) program supports high
performance network connectivity
required by international science and
engineering research and education collaborations involving the NSF research
community. NSF expects to make a set of
awards to: 1) link U.S. research networks
with peer networks in other parts of the
world and leverage existing international
network connectivity; 2) support U.S.
infrastructure and innovation of open network exchange points; 3) drive innovation and state-of-the-art capabilities for
Research and Education (R&E) Network
Operation Centers (NOC); 4) stimulate
the development, application and use of
advanced network measurement capabilities and services across international network paths; and 5) support community
engagement in training and human and
network capacity building, and coordination in advanced network engineering.

14-13 Fellowships for University-Based
Doctoral Candidates and Faculty for
Research in Child Maltreatment (ACF)
This 24-month fellowship program is
designed to identify, develop, and
empower a new generation of scholars
who will use their research to generate
new knowledge in child maltreatment and
will pursue careers in child abuse and
neglect research and evaluation. This
funding opportunity announcement
(FOA) will provide support for doctoral
candidates who demonstrate a strong
commitment to the study of child maltreatment, and faculty who will conduct
research on critical issues in child abuse
prevention and treatment and provide
mentorship to the emerging scholars. The
Children’s Bureau will award fellowships
to applicants that utilize multi-method
research designs for: economic evaluations of interventions to improve outcomes of children and families in or at
risk of entering the child welfare system;
studies that examine the relationship
between neglect and poverty; studies that
examine resiliency and protective factors
for children experiencing or at-risk of
child maltreatment; and secondary
research on existing datasets. Doctoral
candidates concentrating on child maltreatment issues in the fields of social
work, social science, public health, medicine, and economics are the target of this
support. HHS-2014-ACF-ACYF-CA0803 (G.G. 4/8/14)
