GENERAL
24-1 DoD Autism Idea Development
Award (DOD)
The ARP Idea Development Award supports the development of innovative, highimpact ideas that advance the understanding of ASD and that ultimately will lead to
improved outcomes for individuals with
autism. Research involving human subject
participation is permitted under this funding opportunity, but is restricted without
Clinical Trials. Preliminary data relevant
to the proposed research project is
required. Preliminary data, unpublished
results the laboratory of the PI, research
team, or collaborators named on this applications, may be from outside of the ASD
research field. The FY10 ARP supports
collaborative research in order to bring a
new perspective to ASD research and/or
facilitate progress in the field by combined
effort. Therefore, up to three investigators
may work on a single project, each of
whom will be recognized as a PI and
receive a separate award. W81XWH-10ARP-IDA (GG 2/16/10)

24-2 Paleo Perspectives on Climate
Vol. 19, No. 24
Change (P2C2) (NSF)
The goal of research funded under the
interdisciplinary P2C2 solicitation is to
utilize key geological, chemical, and biological records of climate system variability to provide insights into the
mechanisms and rate of change that characterized Earth’s past climate variability,
the sensitivity of Earth’s climate system
to changes in forcing, and the response of
key components of the Earth system to
these changes. Important scientific
objectives of P2C2 are to: 1) provide
comprehensive paleoclimate data sets
that can serve as model test data sets
analogous to instrumental observations;
and 2) enable transformative syntheses
of paleoclimate data and modeling outcomes to understand the response of the
longer-term and higher magnitude variability of the climate system that is
observed in the geological record. NSF

24-5 Assay Development for High
Throughput Molecular Screening
(R21) (NIH)
This FOA will facilitate the discovery of
new molecular probes for investigating
biological function by funding the development and adaptation of biological
assays for use in automated HighThroughput Screen (HTS) projects. These
HTS-ready assays can then be screened
by the Molecular Libraries Productions
Centers Network (MLPCN) to identify
biologically active compounds in a large
library of small molecule chemical structures. This Program and the MLPCN are
both components of the NIH Molecular

Teams (NSF)
Centers of Excellence for Materials
Research and Innovation (CEMRIs) pro-
vide sustained support of interdisciplinary
materials research and education of the
highest quality while addressing fundamental problems in science and engineering. CEMRIs address research of a scope
and complexity requiring the advantages
of scale and interdisciplinarity provided
by a campus-based research center. A
CEMRI may be located at a single institution, or may involve multiple institutions
in partnership. Materials Interdisciplinary Research Teams (MIRTs) represent a
new award mechanism. These teams
share with CEMRIs the same emphasis on
the support of world class interdisciplinary materials research and the integration of research with education. A MIRT
may be located at a single institution, or
may involve multiple institutions. Only
one CEMRI or MIRT preliminary proposal may be submitted by any one organization as the lead organization in this

24-13 Roses 2010: Moon and Mars
Analog Missions Activities (NASA)
Through this research program element,
investigators will be selected to carry out
specific scientific research analogous to
investigations anticipated for missions to
the Moon and Mars. Areas of specific
interest to the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) include, but are not limited to:
1) Understanding and optimizing human
and robotic performance to maximize scientific return; 2) Defining science
requirements for early lunar missions
with humans, including requirements for
mobility, navigation, communications, in
situ analysis, surface laboratory functionality, crew scheduling, and sample acquisition, handling, documentation, and
curation; 3) Developing surface science
scenarios for use in architecture planning
and science payload manifesting; and 4)
Illuminating areas of critical importance
for robotic precursor missions, including
robotic operations of/with human-oriented systems during periods when
humans may not yet be present. Proposals
that directly address lunar scientific questions or Mars science using the Moon as
an operational analog will be given priority for funding at this time.
Promise Grants provide up to $6.5 million
over five years to support programs with
collaborative and cross-disciplinary
research projects that provide integrated
approaches to solving critical challenges
to the rapid translation of scientific discoveries into new or enhanced clinical
tools and applications that have the greatest potentials to significantly reduce
breast cancer incidence and/or mortality
within the next decade. Integrated programs of research projects addressing
critical challenges in population disparities in breast cancer outcomes and triple
negative breast cancer are of special interest and may receive funding priority.
