GENERAL
20-1 Science and Society (S&S) (NSF)
S&S considers proposals that examine
questions that arise in the interactions of
engineering, science, technology, and society. There are four components: Ethics and
Values in Science, Engineering and Technology (EVS); History and Philosophy of
Science, Engineering and Technology
(HPS); Social Studies of Science, Engineering and Technology (SSS); and Studies of Policy, Science, Engineering and
Technology (SPS). The components overlap, but are distinguished by the different
scientific and scholarly orientations they
take to the subject matter, as well as by
different focuses within the subject area.
This program solicitation covers the following modes of support: 1) S&S Scholars
Award; 2) Standard Research Grants and
Grants for Collaborative Research; 3) S&S
Postdoctoral Fellowships; 4) S&S Professional Development Fellowships; 5) Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvements
Grants; 6) Small Grants for Training and
Research; 7) Conference and Workshop
Awards; 8) Other Funding Opportunities.

20-2 Applied Plant Genomics (USDA)
The Agriculture Department invites applications for research, extension and education grants that address priority mission
areas related to agricultural genomics,
such as food safety, food technology and
human nutrition, agriculture production
and natural resource management. The
focus in 2005 is large-scale translational
genomics for U.S. crop or forestry
improvement. The program seeks to bring
together a multi-state, multi-institution and
multidiscipline team to integrate discoveries and technology with breeding practice;
train scientists in the practical application
of genomics-based tools; and provide outreach efforts to inform consumers, producers, processors and scientists about the
potential benefits of applied plant genomics.

announces the Fiscal Year 2006 Defense
University Research Instrumentation
Program (DURIP), a part of the University Research Initiative (URI). DURIP is
designed to improve the capabilities of
U.S. institutions of higher education to
conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in areas important to
national defense, by providing funds for
the acquisition of research equipment.
DURIP funds will be used for the acquisition of major equipment to augment
current or develop new research capabilities to support research in the technical
areas of interest to the DoD. Individual
proposals may request funding for more
than one instrument if the requested
pieces comprise a system that is used for
a common research purpose. AFOSRBAA-05-4 (FG 5/23/05)
