GENERAL
23-1 Sloan Research Fellowships
(Sloan)
These fellowships are awarded to enhance
the careers of the very best young faculty
members in specified fields of science.
Currently, fellowships are awarded annually in chemistry, computational and evolutionary molecular biology, computer
science, economics, mathematics, neuroscience, and physics. Candidates are nominated by department heads or other senior
researchers. More than one candidate from
a department may be nominated, but the
foundation recommends no more than
three. Direct applications are not accepted.

23-2 Recovery Act Limited
Competition: Biomedical Research,
Development, and Growth to Spur the
Acceleration of New Technologies
(BRDG-SPAN) Pilot Program (RC3)
(NIH)
This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided
to the NIH under The American Recovery
Vol. 18, No. 23
& Reinvestment Act of 2009, solicits
grant applications for a new initiative
called Biomedical Research, Development, and Growth to Spur the Acceleration of New Technologies (BRDGSPAN) Pilot Program (RC3). The purpose of this pilot program is to address
the funding gap between promising
research and development (R&D) and
transitioning to the market—often called
the Valley of Death —by contributing to
the critical funding needed by applicants
to pursue the next appropriate milestone(s) toward ultimate commercialization; i.e., carry out later stage research
activities necessary to that end. RFAOD-09-008 (NIHG 6/5/09)

This program makes grants to institutions
of higher education to support scholarships for academically talented, financially needy students, enabling them to
enter the workforce following completion
of an associate; baccalaureate; or graduate
level degree in science and engineering
disciplines. Grantee institutions are
responsible for selecting scholarship
recipients, reporting demographic information about students scholars, and managing the S-STEM project at the
institution. An institution may submit one
proposal from each constituent school or
college that awards degrees in an eligible
field. NSF 09-567

23-6 Integrated Organic and Water
Quality Program, ICGP (CSREES)
CSREES is interested in funding comparisons between certified organic farms and
conventional farms of sediment delivery,
nutrient use and transport, and overall
water availability at the farm or field
scale. Projects are expected to combine
physical measurements of soil and surface
and/or groundwater conditions at the field
or farm scale with modeling information
generated at the same spatial and temporal scale. Successful projects must
describe expected outcomes in terms of
changes in knowledge, and changes in
behaviors, and changes in environmental
conditions. USDA-CREES-ICGP-002403

ARTS & HUMANITIES
23-7 Fellowships at Digital
Humanities Centers (NEH)
NEH Fellowships at Digital Humanities
Centers (FDHC) support collaboration
between digital centers and individual
scholars. An award provides funding for
both a stipend for the fellow and a portion
of the center’s costs for hosting a fellow.
Awards are for periods of six to twelve
months of continuous full-time research.
The intellectual cooperation between the
fellow and the center may take many different forms and may involve humanities
scholars of any level of digital expertise.
Awards support projects at any stage of
development. FDHC grants are made to
digital humanities centers and, therefore,

Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that
propose collaborative systems biology
research projects by multi-disciplinary
teams to advance our understanding of
normal physiology and perturbations
associated with heart, lung, blood and

23-12 Cancer Research Program
Concept Award (DOD)
The goal of the Peer Reviewed Cancer
Research Program is to improve quality
of life by significantly decreasing the
impact of cancer on service members,
their families, and the American public.
The PRCRP Concept Award supports the
exploration of a highly innovative new
concept or untested theory. The Concept
Award is not intended to support a logical
progression of an already established
research project but, instead, supports
high-risk studies that have the potential to
reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. For FY09, the Concept Award is
being offered in two congressionally
directed topic areas: 1) Noninvasive cancer ablation research including selective
targeting with nano-particles, and 2)
genetic cancer research and its relation to
exposure to the various environments that
are unique to a military lifestyle.

Transmission Among High Risk
Minority Youth and Adolescents
(CHAT) by Utilizing a Peer-to-Peer
Outreach Model and New Application
Technologies (OPHS)
As the lead agency to improve and protect
the health of racial and ethnic minority
populations through the development of
health policies and programs that will
eliminate health disparities, the Office of
Minority Health, through the mechanism
of the CHAT Program, seeks to improve
the HIV/AIDS health outcomes of high
risk minority youth by supporting community-based efforts to increase HIV/
AIDS prevention/education efforts, testing, counseling and referrals. It is
expected that applicants will ensure that
their efforts will enhance current efforts
and expand established capacity by federal agencies, and public and private
youth service providers to engage youth
who are currently in alternative education
settings, alternative living arrangements
ordered by the courts; and juvenile detention facilities. MP-YEP-09-001 (GG 6/
