viruses. Many of these pathogens, particularly RNA viruses, are characterized by
a high mutation rate that allows for rapid
adaptation to a changing environment.
DARPA is soliciting proposals for Prophecy, a new program seeking interdisciplinary solutions to transform today’s
vaccine and drug development enterprises
from observational and reactive to predictive and preemptive. The program is a
multi-year effort of increasing complexity
focused on the development of predictive
algorithms of viral evolution that are
informed and validated experimentally
using high throughput biological platforms that recapitulate relevant virus-host
interactions. DARPA-BAA-10-93 (GG 9/

37-4 Cyberlearning: Transforming
Education (NSF)
Through the Cyberlearning: Transforming Education program, NSF seeks to
integrate advances in technology with
advances in what is known about how
people learn to: better understand how
people learn with technology and how
technology can be used productively to
help people learn, through individual use
and/or through collaborations mediated
by technology; better use technology for
collecting, analyzing, sharing, and managing data to shed light on learning, promoting learning, and designing learning
environments; and design new technologies for these purposes, and advance
understanding of how to use those technologies and integrate them into learning
environments so that their potential is
fulfilled. An individual may participate
as PI or co-PI in no more than three proposals: at most, two proposals in the
Exploratory (EXP) and Design and
Implementation (DIP) categories combined, and at most one (1) proposal submitted in response to this solicitation in

37-8 Scalable Nanomanufacturing
(SNM) (NSF)
The National Science Foundation (NSF)
announces a program on collaborative
research and education in the area of scalable nanomanufacturing, including the
long-term societal implications of the
large-scale implementation of nanomanufacturing innovations. This program is in
response to and is a component of the
National Nanotechnology Initiative Signature Initiative: Sustainable Nanomanufacturing—Creating the Industries of the
Future. Although many nanofabrication
techniques have demonstrated the ability
to produce relatively small quantities of
nanomaterials and devices, the emphasis
of this program is research that supports
the identification and demonstration of
nanomanufacturing processes with high
potential to scale to economically and
industrially relevant production level. The
mode of support is Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research teams (NIRT). Proposals
submitted to this program must address at
least one, and preferably more than one,
of the following interconnected themes:
1) Novel processes and techniques for
continuous and scalable nanomanufacturing; 2) Directed (physical/chemical/biological) self-assembly processes leading
to heterogeneous nanostructures with the
potential for high-rate production; 3)
Principles and design methods to produce
machines and processes to manufacture
nanoscale structures, devices and systems; and/or 4) Long-term societal and
educational implications of the largescale production and use of nanomaterials, devices and systems, including the
life-cycle analysis of such nanomaterials,
devices and systems. An academic institution--a university, or a campus in a
multi-campus university--may submit no
more than one proposal on which it is the
lead organization in response to this solicitation. NSF 10-618

Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) continues the long standing program project
program detailed at http://
www.nhlbi.nih.gov/funding/resmech.htm
and invites submission of investigator-initiated Program Project (P01) applications.
The proposed programs may address scientific areas relevant to the NHLBI mission including the biology and diseases of
the heart, blood vessels, lung, and blood;
blood resources; and sleep disorders.

Structural Biology Research (U01)
(HHS)
This FOA encourages applications to
establish partnerships between researchers interested in a biological problem of
significant scope and researchers providing high-throughput structure determination capabilities through the NIGMS
PSI:Biology network. Applicants to this
FOA should propose work to solve a substantial biological problem for which the
determination of many protein structures
is necessary. The proteins should be amenable to high-throughput structure determination and/or should provide suitable
targets to motivate new technology development. Awardee principal investigators
will become part of the PSI:Biology Network Steering Committee and will work
jointly with other investigators and NIH
staff to manage the overall PSI:Biology

SMALL BUSINESS
37-11 Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) Funding (DOE)
Phase 1 grants resulting from this competition will be made during Fiscal Year
2011 to small businesses to evaluate,
insofar as possible, the scientific or technical merit feasibility of ideas that appear
to have commercial potential and/or substantial applications in support of DOE
mission research facilities. Success in a
DOE Phase 1 is a prerequisite to further
DOE support in Phase 2. An important
goal of these programs is the commercialization of DOE-supported research or
R&D. Following the start of the Phase 1,
DOE encourages its awardees to begin
thinking about and seeking commitments
from private sector or Federal non-SBIR/
STTR funding sources in anticipation of
Phase 2 and 3. DE-FOA-0000413 (GG 9/

Bureau. The activities will be expected to
advance both fundamental and applied
knowledge as well as further the training
of current and future generations of
researchers in research skills of relevance
to the measurement of economic units,
households, and persons. There is a limit
