45-1 2011 Conservation Innovation
Grant Funding Opportunity (USDA)
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 innovative approaches (such as market-based
systems) into NRCS policy, technical manuals, guides, and references or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research

45-3 Small Molecule Activation
(AFOSR)
AFOSR announces a fiscal year 2011
competition for research to promote and
sustain university research and education
focused on small molecule activation
chemistry and related technologies.
AFOSR is seeking unclassified, fundamental research proposals that do not contain proprietary information. The focus of
this research project is to develop the
mechanistic understanding of catalytic
processes that activate small inorganic
compounds (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen,
hydrogen, sulfur, silicon, boron, aluminum, phosphorus, carbon and their oxides
and hydrides) to do synthetically useful
chemistry between themselves and with
carbon sources. Catalytic homogeneous
processes that lead to products under mild
reaction conditions (low temperature and
pressure) are preferred. BAA-AFOSR2011-02 (GG 12/1/10)

45-5 CHE-DMR-DMS Solar Energy
Initiative (SOLAR) (NSF)
The purpose of the CHE-DMR-DMS
Solar Energy Initiative is to support interdisciplinary efforts by groups of researchers to address the scientific challenges of
highly efficient harvesting, conversion,
and storage of solar energy. Groups must
include three or more co-Principal Investigators, of whom one must be a
researcher in chemistry, a second in materials, and a third in mathematical sciences, in areas supported by the Division
of Chemistry, Materials Research, and
Mathematical Sciences, respectively. The
intent is to encourage new collaborations
in which the mathematical sciences are
linked in a synergistic way with the chemical and materials sciences to develop
novel, potentially transformative
approaches in an area of much activity but
largely incremental advances. Successful
proposals will offer potentially transformative projects, new concepts, and interdisciplinary education through research
involvement based on the integrated
expertise and synergy from the three disciplinary communities. NSF 10-613

45-6 Industry/University Cooperative
Research Centers (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 Foundation (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 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. As appropriate, an I/
UCRC uses international collaboration to
advance these groups within the global
context. NSF 10-595

to support: 1) Bridging Grants, 2) Institutional Core Facilities, 3) Partnerships for
Translational Research Training, and 4)
Postdoctoral awards. The purpose of this
research support is to further the ability of
Kansas researchers to complete successfully for NIH funds. A Bridging Grant
provides interim support to help a project
in Cell and Development Biology continue for an eligible investigator who has
submitted a grant to NIH that was
approved on the basis of scientific merit,
but fell short of the funding range (applications with a score of 4.5 or higher will
be triaged). These funds should assist in
providing data needed to resubmit a
revised application to NIH. Core Facility
awards are for the purpose of providing
funds to institutional core facilities that
support the research focus of the KINBRE, Cell and Developmental Biology.
Partnership awards are one-year awards
offered for the purpose of facilitating the
initiation of clinical/basic science
research projects directed toward a translational goal. Post-doctoral awards are
one-year mentored awards offered for the
purpose of facilitating applications to support 1) initiation of post-doctoral research
projects and 2) transition for the post-doctoral position to early investigator status.
