GENERAL
26-1 Visiting professorships in
Germany (DAAD)
This program serves to strengthen the
internationalization of the educational
experience for scholars, host institutions
and students by welcoming educators from
abroad to university campuses in Germany
for guest teaching assignments. The recent
development of international degree programs and traditional curricula looking to
infuse an international aspect provide
opportunities for professors from other
countries to contribute their expertise in
particular subjects and teaching methods.
Courses need not be taught in German.
Highly qualified scholars in all academic
disciplines, preferably those who hold a
doctoral or other terminal degree and have
an affiliation with an institution of higher
education, are eligible. Candidates must
secure an invitation from a German host
institution and teach courses integrated
into the regular curriculum.

26-2 Biophysical and Biomechanical
Aspects of Embryonic Development
Vol. 19, No. 26
(R21) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development,
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging
and Bioengineering (NIBIB), and
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is intended to encourage
innovative and high risk/impact research
in the area of physics/mechanics of
embryonic development to be explored
in model organisms. The research proposed to this program can explore
approaches and concepts new to the area
of developmental tissue mechanics;
research and development of new technologies; or initial research and development of data upon which significant
future research may be built. PAR-10222 (NIHG 6/25/10)

26-3 Fellowships (Wilson Center)
The Woodrow Wilson Center awards
approximately 20-25 residential fellowships annually in an international competition. Successful fellowship applicants
submit proposals in a broad range of the
social sciences and humanities on
national and/or international issues-topics and scholarship that relate to key public policy challenges or provide the
historical and/or cultural framework to
illuminate policy issues of contemporary
importance. Fellows will be affiliated
with one of the more than 20 Wilson
Center programs/projects. They will be
expected to interact with policymakers in
Washington and with Wilson Center staff
who are working on similar topics. The
Woodrow Wilson Center devotes significant attention to the exploration of broad
thematic areas. Primary themes are: 1)
governance, including such issues as the
key features of the development of democratic institutions, democratic society,
civil society, and citizen participation; 2)
the U.S. role in the world and issues of
partnership and leadership—military,
political, and economic dimensions—
and (3) key long-term future challenges
confronting the United States and the
world.

26-4 Instrument Development for
Biological Research (IDBR) (NSF)
The Instrument Development for Biological Research (IDBR) Program supports
the development of instrumentation that
addresses demonstrated needs in biological research, in areas supported by NSF
Biology programs. The program accepts
two types of proposals: A) Innovation
Proposals: Proposals for the development
of innovative instrumentation that permits
new kinds of measurements, or instruments that significantly improve current
technologies by at least an order of magnitude in fundamental aspects (such as
accuracy, precision, resolution, throughput, flexibility, breadth of applications,
cost of construction or operation, or userfriendliness). B) Bridging Proposals: Proposals for transforming, one of a kind
prototypes or high-end instruments into
devices that are broadly available and utilizable without loss of capacity. If appropriate, PIs should seek SBIR, STTR or
similar support mechanism for implementation of broad distribution following an
IDBR award. NSF 10-563

EDUCATION
26-5 Alliances for Broadening
Participation in STEM (NSF)
The Alliances for Broadening Participation in STEM (ABP) solicitation includes
the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority
Participation (LSAMP) program, and the
Alliances for Graduate Education and the
Professoriate (AGEP) program. This portfolio of programs seeks to increase the
number of students successfully completing quality degree programs in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM). Particular emphasis is placed on
transforming STEM education through
innovative academic strategies and experiences in support of groups that historically have been underrepresented in
STEM disciplines. African-American,
Alaskan Natives, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Pacific
Islanders. Managed synergistically, the
ABP cluster enables seamless transitions
from the STEM baccalaureate to attainment of the doctorate and entry to the
STEM professoriate. ABP support begins
at the baccalaureate level through the
LSAMP program. LSAMP emphasizes
development of broad-based regional and
national alliances of academic institutions, school districts, state and local governments, and the private sector to
increase the diversity and quality of the
STEM workforce. No proposals requesting support under the Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate
(AGEP) program will be accepted in Fiscal Year 2010. LSAMP and LSAMP-BD
allow only one proposal per alliance.
LSAMP Educational Research Proposals
allow only one education research proposal per alliance. NSF 10-522 (GG 12/

(P30) (NIH)
The NIDCD P30 Core Center grant contains one or more research-serving cores,
providing centralized resources and facilities for funded R01 research projects.
Although no funds are provided for direct
support of research projects, a P30 helps
to integrate and promote research in existing funded projects, and may include
multi-disciplinary and regional collaborations. A Core Center must be an identifiable organizational unit either within a
single grantee institution or representing a
consortium of cooperating institutions
(e.g., geographic or web-based). Only one
P30 award is allowed per institution.

Program (R03) (NIH)
Representatives of the United States and
the Government of India signed a Memorandum of Understanding on July 9, 1987
implementing the Indo-U.S. Vaccine
Action Program (VAP) in order to expand

vaccine-related research projects that ultimately reduce the burden of infectious
diseases of importance in India, the U.S.,
the South Asian region and globally.
Applications are encouraged from organizations/institutions that propose to conduct vaccine-related research through
well-established collaborations with
Indian investigators on the following:
dengue, influenza (including avian influenza), HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis.
Basic, translational, clinical, or epidemiological vaccine research may be proposed. Clinical trials will not be
supported by this initiative. PA-10-115

Research on Understanding and
Reducing Health Disparities (R01)
(NIH)
Health disparities between, on the one
hand, racial/ethnic populations, lower
socioeconomic classes, and rural residents and, on the other hand, the overall
U.S. population are major public health
concerns. Emphasis is placed on research
in and among three broad areas of action:
1) public policy, 2) health care, 3) disease/
disability prevention. Particular attention
is given to reducing health gaps among
groups. Proposals that utilize an interdisciplinary approach, investigate multiple
levels of analysis, incorporate a lifecourse perspective, and/or employ innovative methods such as system science or
community-based participatory research
are particularly encouraged. This FOA
will utilize the NIH Research Project
Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs
