33-3 Fellowships (Radcliffe)
The Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program is a scholarly community where
individuals pursue advanced work across
a wide range of academic disciplines,
professions, and creative arts. Radcliffe
Institute fellowships are designed to support scholars, scientists, artists, and writers of exceptional promise and
demonstrated accomplishment who wish
to pursue work in academic and professional fields and in the creative arts. In
recognition of Radcliffe’s historic contributions to the education of women and to
the study of issues related to women, the
Radcliffe Institute sustains a continuing
commitment to the study of women, gender, and society. Applicants’ projects
need not focus on gender, however.

33-2 Psychosocial Stress and Behavior:
Integration of Behavioral and
Physiological Processes (R01) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) issued by the NIH Basic Behavioral
and Social Sciences Opportunity Network
(OppNet) solicits Research Project Grant

Stabilization and Long-Term
Development Objectives through
Revitalization of Afghan Agriculture
(USAID)
The goal of this activity is to support the
Government of the Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan (GIRoA) and the United
States Government (USG) priorities to
increase employment and income in the
agricultural and livestock sectors. Activities undertaken should reflect an integrated approach to these goals taking
advantage of ongoing and past work of
other USAID programs in Infrastructure,
Agriculture, and Economic Growth.
Activities should account for, but are not
limited to, opportunities such as invigorating agribusiness, enhancing the
enabling environment for businesses,
improving the profitability of cereal, horticulture, and livestock production, rehabilitating watersheds, improving
irrigation systems, improving access to
financial services, strengthening trade
capacity, and revitalizing research and
education. APS-306-10-0021 (GG 5/6/

ARTS & HUMANITIES
33-5 External Faculty Fellowships
(Stanford)
External fellowships are intended primarily for individuals currently teaching in
or affiliated with an academic institution,
but independent scholars may apply. Faculty fellowships are awarded across the
spectrum of academic ranks (assistant,
associate, and full professor) and a goal of
the selection process is to create a diverse
community of scholars. Research projects
must be in the humanities; creative arts
projects are not eligible. All applicants
must have a Ph.D. and be at least three
years beyond receipt of the degree at the
start of the fellowship year.

33-6 Fellowships for Creative and
Performing Artists and Writers (AAS)
The American Antiquarian Society
(AAS), a national research library and
learned society of American history and
culture, is calling for applications for visiting fellowships for historical research by
creative and performing artists, writers,
film makers, journalists, and other persons whose goals are to produce imaginative, non-formulaic works dealing with
pre-twentieth-century American history.
Successful applications are those who
work is for the general public rather than
for academic or educational audiences. At
least three fellowships will be awarded
for residence of four weeks at the Society
at any time during the period January 1
through December 31.

33-7 ROSES 2010: Living with a Star
Targeted Research and Technology
(NASA)
The goal of NASA’s Living with a Star
(LWS) Program is to develop the scientific understanding needed for the United
States to effectively address those aspects
of Heliophysics science that may affect
life and society. The LWS Targeted
Research and Technology (TR&T) program element solicits proposals leading to
a physics-based understanding of the integral system linking the Sun to the Solar
System, including the impact on the
heliosphere, planetary magnetospheres,
and ionospheres. The TR&T program’s
objectives can be achieved by data analysis, theory, and modeling, and the development of tools and methods (e.g.,

Program (AFOSR)
AFOSR, in conjunction with the AFRL
Space Vehicles Directorate (AFRL/RV)
announces a program to promote and sustain university research and education
focused on small satellites (nanosats) and
related technologies. The primary outcome of individual projects funded under
this program is the design, fabrication and
functional testing of a nanosat. Secondary
objectives are to foster research in
enabling technologies for nanosats and
the design of experiments that can be performed by nanosats in orbit. In a separate
but related activity, the American Institute
of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)
will sponsor a competition to recognize a
small number of nanosats that have displayed the ability for space launch and
operation. AFOSR-BAA-2010-6 (GG 8/

Adult Alcohol Prevention Trials (R01)
(NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) invites research grant applications
that will advance the science of alcohol
prevention and treatment through evaluations of multicomponent community programs, with a specific focus on
adolescents and young adults. It seeks
proposals to test the relative effectiveness
and cost of: 1) Community based programs comprised of environmental interventions to reduce underage and binge
drinking among young adults and related
harmful behaviors; 2) Community based
programs that increase alcohol screening,
brief intervention, and access to formal
treatment for adolescents and young
adults in multiple community settings
(e.g. primary care, emergency departments, school- and work-based settings,
and web-based venues); and 3) Programs
that combine both strategies. RFA-AA11-001 (NIHG 5/7/10)

Abuse (R01) (NIH)
This FOA issued by the National Institute
on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health, encourages Research
Project Grant (R01) applications from
institutions/organizations that are relevant
to the understanding of the process(es)
and mechanisms underlying drug abuse
and addiction, including use, dependence,
addiction, withdrawal, and treatment, and
may be conducted using model systems,
animals, and/or humans. This FOA will
utilize the R01 grant mechanism and runs
in parallel with FOAs of identical scientific scope, PA-10-269, that encourages
applications under the R21 mechanism,
and PA-10-270 that encourages applications under the R03 mechanism. PA-10268 (NIHG 8/20/10)

33-11 Basic Mechanisms Influencing
Behavioral Maintenance (R01) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) issued by the NIH Basic Behavioral and Social Science Opportunity Network (OppNet) solicits research
applications examining basic mechanisms
of behavioral maintenance. The intent of
this FOA is to advance research on basic
processes and mechanisms involved in
sustaining learned behavior over time and
in the context of dynamic environmental
influences and changing psychological
and biological states. This FOA requests
applications that will improve our understanding of how newly learned, effortful,
and goal-directed behaviors transition to
less effortful, automatic, and essentially
non-goal-directed behaviors that are more
easily maintained over time. A range of
possible processes and mechanisms (e.g.,
neurobiological, cognitive, and environmental) may be proposed for study, and
applicants are encouraged to study multiple mechanisms and their potential interactions. RFA-HL-11-035 (GNIHG 8/20/

and Conceptually-based Measures of
Psychosocial Stress (R21) (NIH)
This FOA issued by the NIH Basic
Behavioral and Social Sciences Opportunity Network (OppNet) solicits Research
Project Grant (R21) applications from
institutions and organizations that propose to develop and test conceptuallybased and comprehensive measures of
psychosocial stress that can be applied
across species and across the lifespan.
Applicants submitting proposals under
this FOA are encouraged to incorporate
variations in exposures, chronicity, environments (including toxicants and social
environments), cognitions, and responses,
as well as capture important factors for
measuring stress in both humans and animals, in men and women, and across the
lifespan. Such studies should demonstrate
that the measures, coupled with appropriate bridges between laboratory and population-based designs, advance our
understanding of the components of psychosocial stressors that are most relevant
to disease, and provide comparability
across studies. RFA-HL-11-034 (NIHG 8/
