GENERAL
12-1 Recovery Act Limited
Competition: Research to Address the
Heterogeneity in Autism Spectrum
Disorders (R01) (NIH)
This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided
to the NIH under the American Recovery
& Reinvestment Act of 2009, solicits
applications for the following topic areas
relevant to research on the heterogeneity
of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD):
Measurement development, Biomarkers/
biological signatures, Immune and central
nervous systems interactions, Genetics/
genomics, Environmental Risk Factors,
Model development, Treatment and intervention, and Services research. This FOA
will utilize the NIH Research Project
(R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with the following FOAs of essentially
identical scientific scope: 1) RFA-MH-09171, which solicits applications under the
NIH Collaborative Research Grant (R01)
award mechanism; 2) RFA-MH-09-172,
which solicits applications under the NIH
Exploratory/Developmental Research
Grant (R21) award mechanism; and 3)
RFA-MH-09-173, which solicits applications under the NIH Clinical Exploratory/
Developmental Research Grant (R34/Col-

12-2 Recovery Act Limited
Competition for NIH Grants:
Research and Research Infrastructure
Grant Opportunities (RC2) (NIH)
Under the Recovery Act, the NIH has
established a new program entitled
Research and Research Infrastructure
Grand Opportunities (GO) grants program. This new program will support
projects that address large, specific biomedical and biobehavioral research
endeavors that will benefit from significant 2-year funds without the expectation
of continued NIH funding beyond two
years. The research supported by the GO
grants program should have high shortterm impact, and a high likelihood of
enabling growth and investment in biomedical research and development, public health, and health care delivery. The
GO grants program will support largescale research projects that accelerate
critical breakthroughs, early and applied
research on cutting-edge technologies,
and new approaches to improve the synergy and interactions among multi and
interdisciplinary research teams. RFAOD-09-004 (GG 3/23/09)

12-3 Recovery Act Funds for
Administrative Supplements
Providing Summer Research
Experiences for Students and Science
Educators (NIH)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH)
announces the opportunity for investigators and United States institutions/organizations with active NIH Research
Grants to request administrative supplements. These supplements will encourage students to seriously pursue research
careers in the health related sciences, as
well as provide elementary, middle
school, and high school teachers, community college faculty, and faculty from
non-research intensive institutions with
short term research experiences in NIHfunded laboratories. This announcement
is for administrative supplements to
active NIH Research Grants, Research
Program and Center Grants (Ps), and
Cooperative Agreements (Us). Individual NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) have
more detailed eligibility information on
their own Web sites. NOT-OD-09-060

12-4 Recovery Act Funds for
Competitive Revision Applications
(NIH)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH)
announces the opportunity for investigators and United States institutions/organizations with active NIH-supported
research project grants (including SBIR
and STTR) to submit revision applications (formerly termed competitive supplements) to support a significant
expansion of the scope or research protocol of approved and funded projects. Support for these revision applications will
come from funds provided to NIH
through the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009. Recognize
that these are 2-year awards and probably
are most appropriate at the post-doctoral
level. (Note: Most Ks and Ts are eligible
for administrative supplements [see NOTOD-09-056].) Individual Institutes and
Centers (ICs) have more detailed eligibility information on their own Web sites.

12-5 Partnership to Promote
Innovation in Environmental Practice
(EPA)
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s National Center for Environmental Innovation (NCEI) is soliciting
proposals from institutions that are interested in organizing two symposia over
four years to promote sharing and transfer
of innovative environmental protection
approaches among States, EPA, and other
primarily governmental representatives.
EPA anticipates awarding one cooperative
agreement under this solicitation. The
goal is to increase understanding of new
approaches, to facilitate use of proven
concepts, and to encourage more innovation in environmental programs. EPAOPEI-NCEI-09-02 (GG 3/4/09)

The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the
development and adoption of innovative
conservation approaches and technologies
while leveraging the federal investment in
environmental enhancement and protection, in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead
to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innova-

tive approaches (such as market-based
systems) into NRCS technical manuals,
guides, and references, or to the private
sector. CIG does not fund research
projects. Instead, it is a vehicle to stimulate the development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that
have been studied sufficiently to indicate
a likelihood of success and to be candidates for eventual technology transfer or
institutionalization. Kansas NRCS will
accept applications for single or multiyear projects, not to exceed three years.
Kansas component CIG projects must
take place in Kansas; multi-state projects
will not be considered. USDA-NRCSKS-09-01 (GG 3/23/09)
