Limited Submissions
Limited submission programs have
sponsor restrictions on the number of
proposals that may be submitted by a
single institution and will require institutional screening to determine which
applications will be submitted. Dr. Jim
Guikema, Associate Vice President for
Research, is the internal coordinator for
limited submission programs. Please
notify him at 785-532-6195, email:
guikema@ksu.edu, by the Internal due
date listed in the Funding Bulletin (FB
23-1, 23-2) or by at least two months
prior to the sponsor deadline if you wish
to submit to a limited submission program. Currently posted Internal Deadlines: http://www.k-state.edu/research/

GENERAL
23-1 Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics Talent Expansion
Program Centers (STEP Centers) (NSF)
The STEP Centers competition allows a
group of faculty representing a cross section of institutions of higher education to
identify a national challenge or opportunity in undergraduate education in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM) and to propose a comprehensive
and coordinated set of activities that will
be carried out to address that challenge or
opportunity within a national context. In
the current competition, efforts must be
related to the biological sciences, engineering, or the geological sciences. An
institution is allowed to be the lead institution on only one proposal to the HERENG STEP Centers competition, and only
one proposal to the HER-GEO STEP Centers competition. Thus, a given institution
may be the lead institution on up to three
proposal submissions in total. An institution may be a partner institution on any
number of submissions. This Solicitation
represents a new initiative within the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program
(STEP). The existing STEP Solicitation
NSF 08-569 also remains in effect. Appli-
Vol. 19, No. 23
cations to the STEP Centers competition
are independent of applications under
STEP Solicitation NSF 08-569. Applications to the STEP Centers competition do
not affect the number of proposals that
may be submitted by institutions to the
competition under STEP Solicitation
NSF 08-569, nor do applications submitted to STEP Solicitation NSF 08-569
affect the number of proposals that may
be submitted by an institution to the
STEP Centers competition. NSF-10-569

encourages dynamic partnerships
between biomedical and clinical
researchers and PreK-12 teachers and
schools and other interested organizations. Particular importance will be given
to applications that target PreK-12 and/or
ISE/media topics that may not be
addressed by existing curriculum, community-based or ISE/media activities. An
applicant organization or institution may
submit only one application. PAR-10206 (NIHG 5/28/10)

ARTS & HUMANITIES
23-4 Grants to America’s Historical
and Cultural Organizations (NEH)
America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations grants support projects in the
humanities that explore stories, ideas, and
beliefs in order to deepen our understanding of our lives and our world. The Division of Public programs supports the
development of humanities content and
interactivity that excite, inform, and stir
thoughtful reflection upon culture, identity, and history in creative and new ways.
Grants for America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations should encourage dialogue, discussion, and civic engagement,
and they should foster learning among
people of all ages. NEH offers two categories of grants for America’s Historical
and Cultural Organizations: planning and
implementation Grants. 20100818-GE

23-5 Humanities Collections and
Reference Resources (NEH)
The Humanities Collections and Reference Resources program supports projects
that provide an essential foundation for
scholarship, education, and public programming in the humanities. Thousands
of libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country
maintain important collections of books
and manuscripts, photographs, sound
recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographical artifacts, art
and material culture, and digital objects.
Funding from this program strengthens
efforts to extend the life of such materials
and make their intellectual content widely
accessible, often through the use of digital
technology. Awards are also made to create various reference resources that facilitate use of cultural materials, from works
that provide basic information quickly to
tools that synthesize and codify knowledge of a subject for in-depth investigation. 20100715-PW (GG 4/14/10)

23-11 Opportunities for Promoting
Understanding through Synthesis
(OPUS) (NSF)
All four cultures within the Division of
Environmental Biology (Population and
Community Ecology, Ecosystem Science,
Evolutionary Processes and Systematic
Biology and Biodiversity Inventories)
encourage the submission of proposals
aimed that synthesizing a body of related
research projects conducted by a single
individual or a group of investigator over
an extended period. OPUS proposals will
often be appropriately submitted in midto-late career, but will also be appropriate
early enough in a career to produce
unique, integrated insight useful to the
scientific community and to the development of the investigator’s future work. In
cases where multiple scientists have
worked collaboratively, an OPUS award
will provide support for collaboration on
a synthesis. NSF 10-557
