(Spencer)
The Foundation has its primary mission to
investigate ways in which education can
be improved, around the world. The
Foundation’s Major Research Grants Program supports research projects requiring
more than $40,000. Research projects

studies that can be completed within a
year by an individual researcher to more
extensive collaborative studies that last
several years. Beginning in March 2005,
the Major Grants program will accept preliminary proposals that fit within one or
more of four areas of inquiry: a) The
Relation between Education and Social
Opportunity; b) Organizational learning
in Schools, School Systems, and Higher
Education Institutions; c) Teaching,
Learning, and Instructional Resources;

research on: 1) when and how the climate
change stressors produce nonlinear ecological responses in linked aquatic and
terrestrial systems and 2) when and how
multiple global change factors might alter
the structure and function of terrestrial
ecosystems. Proposals must address linear ecological responses caused by climate change and variability on the scale
of decades or longer. Linked ecosystems
are of particular interest to EPA and
include: freshwater wetlands, riparian
areas, watersheds, and near-coastal environments such as estuaries. Unmanaged
and managed terrestrial systems such as
forests, grasslands, woodlands, deserts,
and field crops are of interest to DOE.

27-10 Cancer-Relevant Research and
Training (KSU)
The Terry C. Johnson Center for Basic
Cancer Research at K-State strives to support and enhance cancer-related research
and training at K-State. K-State scientists
performing cancer-related research, even
if only potentially relevant to cancer biology, are invited to become affiliated scientists, a status that is simple to acquire,
and apply for various cancer center
awards. Innovative Research Awards provide funds for “seed money” projects to
gather preliminary data crucial for future
major grant proposals. Faculty Equipment
Awards provide funds for new equipment
not covered by other funding but crucial
for modernizing the laboratory. Travel
Awards are provided in modest amounts
to affiliates who must travel to learn new
scientific techniques or visit with collaborators at other institutions. All awards are
competitive, and the number of affiliates
to benefit from each award is also considered.
