22-3 Global Climate Change
Education Research Experiences
Teaching Learning (NASA)
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration Office of Education, in
cooperation with NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, is accepting proposals
in response to the NASA Cooperative
Agreement Notice (CAN): “Global Climate Change Education: Research Experiences, Teaching and Learning”. The

(GCCE) project is designed to improve
the quality of global climate change and
Earth system science education at the
elementary, secondary and undergraduate
levels, and through lifelong learning.
Each funded proposal is expected to take
advantage of NASA’s unique contributions in climate science to enhance learners’ academic experiences and/or to
improve educator’s abilities to engage
and stimulate their students.

22-4 Improvements to Biological
Research Collections (BRC) (NSF)
The Biological Research Collections
Program provides support for biological
collection enhancement, computerization
of specimen-related data, research to
develop better methods for specimen
curation and collection management, and
activities such as symposia and workshops to investigate support and management of biological collections. Biological
collections supported include those housing natural history specimens and jointly
curated collections such as frozen tissues
and other physical samples, e.g. DNA
libraries and digital images. NSF 09-548

22-5 Innovative Food Defense
Projects (R18) (FDA)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA), issued by the Food and Drug
Administration under Grant mechanism
(R18), solicits applications from institutions/ organizations that propose to
develop Innovative Food Defense programs within the United States. Food
defense is a term used to describe activities associated with protecting the
nation’s food supply from intentional contamination. The Food and Drug Administration has adopted 3 broad strategies that
encompass its food defense activities: (1)
Awareness (Prevention/Preparedness):
Increase awareness among federal, state,
local, and tribal governments, and the private sector, to better understand where the
greatest vulnerabilities lie and develop
effective protection/mitigation strategies
to shield the food supply from intentional
contamination; (2) Response: Develop the
capacity for a rapid coordinated response
to a food borne terrorist attack; and (3)
Recovery: Develop the capacity for a
rapid coordinated recovery to a food
borne terrorist attack. PAR-09-203

22-6 Basic Research to Enable
Agricultural Development (BREAD)
(NSF)
The National Science Foundation (NSF)
and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
(BMGF) are partnering to support a new
research program to be administered by
NSF. The objective of the BREAD Program is to support innovative scientific
research designed to address key constraints to smallholder agriculture in the
developing world. A significant distinction between BREAD and other NSF programs is that proposals to BREAD must
make a clear and well-defined connection
between the outcomes of the proposed
research and its direct relevance and
potential application to agriculture in the
developing world. The Program’s focus is
on novel, transformative research at the
proof-of-concept stage rather than its
application or development. Especially
encouraged are original proposals that
address major constraints to the productivity of crops important to smallholder
farmers, or on the development of novel
and efficient production practices. An
investigator may serve as PI or Co-PI on
only one proposal submitted in response
to this solicitation. NSF 09-566

ARTS & HUMANITIES
22-7 Humanities Collections and
Resources (NEH)
The Humanities Collections and Reference Resources program supports projects
that provide an essential foundation for
scholarship, education, and public programming in the humanities. Thousands
of libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country
maintain important collections of books
and manuscripts, photographs, sound
recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art and
material culture, electronic records, and
digital objects. Funding from this program strengthens efforts to extend the life
of such materials and make their intellectual content widely accessible, often
through the use of digital technology.
Awards are also made to create various
reference resources that facilitate use of
cultural materials, from works that provide basic information quickly to tools
that synthesize and codify knowledge of a
subject for in-depth investigation. (GG 4/

22-10 Industry/University Cooperative
Research Centers Program (I/UCRC)
(NSF)
The Industry/University Cooperative
Research Centers (I/UCRC) program
develops long-term partnerships among
industry, academe, and government. The
centers are catalyzed by a small investment from the National Science Founda-
tion (NSF) and are primarily supported by
industry center members, with NSF taking a supporting role in the development
and evolution of the center. Each center is
established to conduct research that is of
interest to both the industry members and
the center faculty. An I/UCRC not only
contributes to the Nation’s research infrastructure base and enhances the intellectual capacity of the engineering and
science workforce through the integration
of research and education, but also
encourages and fosters international
cooperation and collaborative projects.
