the bio-economy, the escalation of establishment and production of energy crops
across the agricultural, forestry, and rural
landscape will need to be correspondingly rapid and must happen in parallel
with the development of biorefineries.

The AFSOR’s Young Investigator
Research Program (YIP) is to support
scientists and engineers who have
received Ph.D. or equivalent degrees in
the last five years (on or after 1 May
2005) and who show exceptional ability
and promise for conducting basic
research. The objective of this program is
to foster creative basic research in science and engineering, enhance early
career development of outstanding young
investigators, and increase opportunities
for the young investigators to recognize
Air Force mission and the related challenges in science and engineering.

Program (Grant)
GENERAL
22-1 Development of Methodologies
for Determining Preferred Landscape
Designs for Sustainable Bioenergy
Feedstock Productions Systems at a
Watershed Scale (DOE)
In order to displace 30 percent or more of
the country’s present petroleum consumption, approximately one billion dry tons of
sustainably produced feedstocks would
need to be produced each year. It is anticipated that the feedstock required to
achieve the anticipated rapid expansion of
the commercial domestic biofuels industry will come predominantly from dedicated energy crops. The lack of verifiable
and reliable environmental data at the
watershed scale for high-yielding energy
crops and other feedstocks removed from
the landscape to ascertain the sustainability of these production systems has been
identified as a barrier to the development
of a large and significant biofuel and
biopower industry. Furthermore, there
exists only limited information and few
tools for implementing and managing sustainable high-yield energy crops across the
landscape. There is little scientific information and no validated methodology for
optimizing sustainable cellulosic biomass
production systems beyond the plot and
The Foundation supports research to
understand and improve the everyday
settings of youth ages 8 to 25 in the
United States. The William T. Grant
Scholars Program support promising
early-career researchers from diverse disciplines, who have demonstrated success
in conducting high-quality research and
are seeking to further develop and
broaden their expertise.

22-5 Expert IPM Decision Support
System (USDA)
The purpose of the Expert Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) Decision Support
System (EPIMDSS) program is to support
development of expert systems that help
guide, demonstrate and multiply impacts
of USDA supported IPM programs. The
EIPMDSS created and maintained by the
successful applicant will help these programs establish and communicate IPM
research, education, and extension priorities; allow a diverse group of stakeholders
to obtain access to selected program outputs; compile LOGIC model based program reports; and synthesize program
impacts. USDA-NIFA-SRGP-003219

22-6 Refugee Agricultural
Partnership Program (ACF) (HHS)
The purpose of this program is to support
rural and urban farming, gardening and
food systems projects that use partnerships to create income, have healthier
food and better nutrition, and enhance
integration into American society on the
part of refugee families. A holistic
approach that encompasses the elements
of production, training, accessing land,
financing, developing partnerships, and
client culture, language and literacy are
expected in applications. In addition to
having farming and gardening activities,
projects may promote the purchase of
fresh produce at farmers markets and
other outlets from personal earnings and
programs of the USDA Food; Nutrition
Service that include SNAP (Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program), WIC
(Women Infants Children) and Seniors
Coupons. HHS-2010-ACF-ORR-ZR0037 (GG 5/28/10)

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY
(USDA)
The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the
development and adoption of innovative
conservation approaches and technologies
while leveraging the federal investment in
environmental enhancement and protection, in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead
to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based
systems) into NRCS technical manuals,
guides, and references or to the private
sector. CIG does not fund research
projects. CIG funds projects targeting
innovative on-the-ground conservation,
including pilot projects and field demonstrations. The Kansas NRCS will accept
applications for single or multi-year
projects, not to exceed three years, submitted to NRCS from eligible entities
including federally recognized Indian
tribes, state and local governments, and
non-governmental organizations and individuals. Kansas component CIG projects
must take place in Kansas; multi-state
projects will not be considered. USDANRCS-KS-10-01 (GG 6/1/10)

22-8 Native Plant Conservation
(NFWF)
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is soliciting proposals for the Native
Plant Conservation Initiative grants cycle.
The NPCI grant program is conducted in
cooperation with the Plant Conservation
Alliance, a partnership between the foundation, ten federal agencies, and more
than 270 non-governmental organizations. There is a strong preference for onthe-ground projects that provide plant
conservation benefit according to the priorities established by one or more of the
funding federal agencies and to the Plant
Conservation Alliance strategies for plant
conservation. In 2010, NPCI is particularly interested in projects that focus on
the effects of climate change. Projects that
include a pollinator conservation component are also encouraged. (PND 5/28/10)

22-9 Preservation and Access
Education and Training Grants (NEH)
The Preservation and Access Education
and Training program is central to NEH’s
efforts to preserve and establish access to
cultural heritage resources. 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 ethnographic artifacts, art and material culture collections, electronic records,
and digital objects. The challenge of preserving and making accessible such large
and diverse holdings is enormous and the
need for knowledgeable staff is signifi-
cant and ongoing. Preservation and
Access Education and Training grants
help the staff of cultural institutions, large
and small, obtain the knowledge and
skills needed to serve as effective stewards of humanities collections. Grants
also support educational programs that
prepare the next generation of conservators and preservation professionals, as
well as projects that introduce the staff of
cultural institutions to new information
and advances in preservation and access
practices. 20100701-PE (GG 5/25/10)

EarthScope is an Earth science program
to explore the 4-dimensional structure of
the North American continent. The EarthScope Program provides a framework for
broad, integrated studies across the Earth
sciences, including research on fault
properties and the earthquake process,
strain transfer, magmatic and hydrous fluids in the crust and mantle, plate boundary processes, large-scale continental
deformation, continental structure and
evolution, and composition and structure
of the deep-Earth. In addition, EarthScope
offers a centralized forum for Earth science education at all levels and an excellent opportunity to develop
cyberinfrastructure to integrate, distribute, and analyze diverse data sets. This
Solicitation calls for single or collaborative proposals to conduct scientific
research associated with the EarthScope
Facility and support activities that further

time series of biological and environmental data to address ecological and evolutionary processes and resolve important
issues in organismal and environmental
biology. Researchers must have collected
at least six years of previous data to qualify for funding, and these data must motivate that proposed research. The proposal
also must present a cohesive conceptual
rationale or framework for ten years of
