GENERAL
34-1 Academic Research Enhancement
Award (R15) (NIH)
The National Institutes of Health has just
announced that, beginning with the October 25, 2009 deadline, eligibility requirements for applying for the Academic
Research Enhancement Award (AREA)
Award program have increased to include
institutions to include those that have
received less than $6 million dollars in
funding in each of four of the last seven
years from the NIH. Kansas State University and the K-State Veterinary School are
both now eligible for AREA awards. In
addition, the funding limit is raised to
$300,000 in direct costs for up to three
years. The purpose of the AREA program
is to stimulate research in educational
institutions that have not been major recipients of NIH support. AREA grants are
intended to support small-scale healthrelated research projects proposed by faculty members of eligible, domestic institutions. PA-06-042 (GG 9/22/09)

34-2 Exceptional, Unconventional
Research Enabling Knowledge
Acceleration (EUREKA) (R01) (NIH)
This FOA solicits Research Project
Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations proposing exceptionally innovative research on novel
hypotheses or difficult problems, solutions to which would have an extremely
high impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research that is germane to the mission of one or more of the participating
NIH Institutes. The FOA is for support of
new projects, not continuation of projects
that have already been initiated. It does
not support pilot projects, i.e., projects of
limited scope that are designed primarily
to generate data that will enable the PI to
seek other funding. RFA-GM-10-009

34-4 Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Sites and
Supplements (NSF)
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports
active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of
research funded by the National Science
Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing
research programs or in research projects
specifically designed for the REU program. This solicitation features two
mechanisms for support of student
research: 1) REU Sites are based on
independent proposals to initiate and
conduct projects that engage a number of
students in research. REU Sites may be
based in a single discipline or academic
department, or on interdisciplinary or
multi-department research opportunities
with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are
welcome. A partnership with the Department of Defense supports REU Sites in
DoD-relevant research areas. 2) REU
supplements may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects or may
be included as a component of proposals
for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements. NSF 09-598 (GG 7/28/

stipend, access to the extensive resources
of the Institute, including offices, access
to libraries, subsidized restaurant and
housing facilities, and some secretarial
services. The School of Historical Studies
supports scholarship in all fields of historical research, but is concerned principally
with the history of western, near eastern
and Asian civilizations, with particular
emphasis upon Greek and Roman civilization, the history of Europe (medieval,
early modern, and modern), the Islamic
world, East Asian studies, the history of
art, the history of science, philosophy, and
modern international relations. The
School also offers the Edward T. Cone
Membership in Music Studies. (TGA 8/

34-10 International Collaborations in
Chemistry between US Investigators
and their Counterparts Abroad (ICC)
(NSF)
The National Science Foundation (NSF)
seeks to enhance opportunities for collaborative activities between U.S. and foreign investigators. NSF Chemistry will
accept collaborative research proposals in
chemistry, written in English, which
establish new bilateral collaborations
between U.S. investigators and investigators from the partner countries. It is envisioned that the program will be expanded
to include additional partnering foreign
agencies in the coming years. The programs seeks new and highly innovative 3year collaborative projects that break new
ground and demonstrate a high level of
synergy between the collaborating investigators. The proposed 3-year projects
must be in areas that are supported by the
NSF Division of Chemistry’s newly
announced programs in Chemical Synthesis; Chemical Catalysis; Theory, Models
and Computational Methods; Chemical
Measurement and Imaging; Chemical
Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms;
Macromolecular, Supermolecular and
Nanochemistry; Environmental Chemical Sciences; or Chemistry of Life Process. It is generally not the practice of the
Chemistry Division to make multiple
awards to the same individual. Therefore,
potential applicants are strongly encouraged to choose between submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation and
submitting an unsolicited proposal to the
Division of Chemistry or submitting a
proposal to the Materials World Network
program of the Division of Material
Research (DMR) of NSF. NSF 09-608
