41-2 Livelihoods Initiative in Ethiopia
(USAID)
USAID/DCHA/OFDA’s mandate is to
save lives, alleviate human suffering, and
reduce the economic impact of disasters.
In order to achieve this goal, USAID/
DCHA/OFDA’s strategy in Ethiopia in
FY-2006 will be to meet the critical needs
of populations affected by the ongoing
complex food insecurity crisis and
increase household level resilience to climatic, economic, and health shocks resulting in humanitarian crises. The broad
goals of this APS are to: Provide emergency, life-saving assistance to those populations most at-risk from food insecurity;
Vol. 14, No. 41
Increase the capacity of households and
communities to cope with recurrent
drought, economic, and health shocks to
reduce the need for large emergency
interventions in the future; Prepare communities to transition to longer-term
development initiatives that will further
reduce vulnerability to food insecurity by
addressing its root causes; and Assist
affected populations in the recovery process to promote self-sufficiency and minimize dependence on external assistance.

41-3 Bring Back the Natives Aquatic
Species Program (NFWF)
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, in cooperation with its partner agencies, requests pre-proposals from
nonprofit organizations; universities;
Native American tribes; and local, state,
and federal agencies interested in restoring native populations of sensitive or
listed aquatic species for its Bring Back
the Natives (BBN) program. The initiative funds on-the-ground efforts to
restore native aquatic species to their historic range. Projects should involve partnerships between communities, agencies,
private landowners, and organizations
that seek to rehabilitate streamside and
watershed habitats, and should focus on
habitat needs of species such as fish,
invertebrates, and amphibians that originally inhabited waterways across the
United States.

41-4 Puffin Foundation 2006 Artist
Grant Awards (Puffin)
The Puffin Foundation in Teaneck, New
Jersey, seeks to open the doors of artistic
expression by providing grants to artists
and art organizations often excluded
from mainstream opportunities. The
foundation makes grants that encourage
emerging artists in the fields of art,
music, theater, dance, photography, and
literature whose works, due to their genre
and/or social philosophy, might have difficulty being aired. The foundation does
not have the means, however, to fund
large film/documentary proposals, grants
for travel, continuing education, or the
writing or publishing of books.

41-6 Brownfields Assessment,
Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup
Grants (EPA)
Three competitive Brownfields grant
types are available: assessment grants,
revolving loan fund, (RLF) grants, and
cleanup grants. Assessment grants provide funding for a grant recipient to
inventory, characterize, assess and conduct cleanup and redevelopment planning
and community involvement related to
Brownfield sites. Applicants may apply
for both Community-Wide and Site-Specific assessment. However, an applicant is
limited to submitting only ONE hazardous substance assessment grant proposal
and ONE petroleum assessment proposal. In the event that an applicant submits more proposals than allowed, EPA
will contact the applicant and require that
it withdraw the excess proposal(s) from
the grants competition. An eligible entity
may submit no more than 2 assessment
proposals. Please contact Jim Guikema by

development to enhance forensic crime
scene examinations, specifically: 1)
Small, rugged, less costly, less labor
intensive, and nondestructive analytical
tools and technologies for onsite presumptive and/or confirmatory analysis of
forensic evidence at a crime scene; 2)
Sample location, identification, capture,
and stabilization technology suitable for
recovering trace particulate, liquid, chemical, and biological evidence at a crime
scene; 3) Improving basic and fundamental understanding of chemical and biological signatures found at crime scenes.
Forensic crime evidence typically consist
of, but is not limited to: latent prints,

41-11 Academic Research
Enhancement Awards (AREA) (NIH)
The purpose of the Academic Research
Enhancement Award (AREA) program is
to stimulate research in educational institutions that provide baccalaureate or
advanced degrees for a significant number of the Nation’s research scientists, but
that not have been major recipients of
NIH support. AREA grants are intended
to support small-scale health-related
research projects. Eligible Project Director/Principal Investigators may not be the
PD/PI of any active NIH research grant,
including another AREA grant, at the
time of award of an AREA grant. Only
the School of Veterinary Medicine at KState is eligible to submit grants to this
program. Note that applications for this
program are transitioning to SF425
(Research and Related (R&R) forms) and
electronic submission through Grants.gov
is required. PA-06-042 (NIHG 10/28/
