13-2 Recovery Act Limited
Competition: Extramural Research
Facilities Improvement Program
(C06) (NIH)
This FOA issued by the National Center
for Research Resources, National Institutes of Health, solicits applications from
institutions that propose to expand,
remodel, renovate, or alter biomedical or
behavioral research facilities. The major
objective of this FOA is to facilitate and
enhance the conduct of Public Health
Service-supported biomedical and
behavioral research by supporting the
costs of improving non-Federal basic
research, clinical research, and animal
facilities to meet the biomedical or
behavioral research, research training, or
research support needs of an institution.
Since the funds for this FOA come from
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, it is expected that all
awards will be expended expeditiously
and that applicants will consider green/
sustainable technologies and design
approaches. RFA-RR-09-008 (NIH 3/6/

13-1 Basic Research to Enable
Agricultural Development (BREAD)
(NSF)
The National Science Foundation (NSF)
today announced a nearly $50 million partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation to support innovative solutions
to critical agricultural challenges in developing countries. Each organization will
provide $24 million over five years to support a competitive awards program for science research projects that address
drought, pests, disease and other serious
problems facing small farmers and their
families who rely on their crops for their
food and income. The award program will
support a competitive award program for
science research projects that develop
innovative approaches and technologies to
boost agricultural productivity in developing countries. A solicitation for funding
proposals under the BREAD program will
be available in early June on the BREAD
Web site. Prior to release of the Program
Solicitation, NSF intends to hold workshops to provide additional information
about the BREAD Program and its goals.
Once final plans for the workshops are
developed they will be posted on the Plant
Genome website.

13-8 Instrumentation for Materials
Research—Major Instrumentation
Projects (NSF)
The Instrumentation for Materials
Research-Major Instrumentation Project
(IMR-MIP) program in the Division of
Materials Research provides support for
the design and construction of major
instruments costing more than $4 million
but less than $20 million. The program
also supports the development of detailed
conceptual and engineering design for
new tools for materials preparation or
characterization at major user facilities.
The program supports two types of
awards: Conceptual and Engineering
Design (CED) awards and Construction
(CNST) awards. A CED award will
enable the proposer to do the necessary
engineering design of the instrument. A
CNST proposal may only be submitted
after a satisfactory engineering design of
the instrument has been completed and
has been approved by both the facility at
which the instrument will be situated and
by NSF. An institution may submit at
most one IMR-MIP proposal in a given
year. NSF 09-547 (GG 3/27/09)
