approaches to the analysis and dissemination of biological knowledge for the
benefit of both the scientific community
and the broader public. The ABI program
is especially interested in the development of informatics tools and resources
that have the potential to advance, or
transform, research in biology supported
by the Directorate for Biological Sciences at the National Science Foundation. The ABI program accepts two
major types of proposals: Innovation

for Energy and the Environment
(DOE)
The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) announces interest in receiving applications for research
that supports the Genomics Science Program and addresses DOE’s missions in
energy and the environment in the following research areas: a) Microbial Environmental Processes: To develop a systemslevel understanding of the functional processes used by microbes and microbial
consortia that link the internal metabolic
processes of microbial species to their
external biogeochemical activities; b)
Microbial and Plant Processes for Bioenergy: To develop new approaches that
advance our understanding of the systems
biology of plant and microbes in producing biofuels including the utilization of
lignocellulosic biomass and microbial
synthesis of advanced biofuel; c) Characterizing Key Molecular Species, Events,

(ISE) (NSF)
21-4 Centers of Excellence in
Genomic Science (CEGS) (P50) (NIH)
The Centers of Excellence in Genomic
Sciences (CEGS) program establishes
academic Centers for advanced genome
research. Each CEGS grant supports a
multi-investigator, interdisciplinary team
to develop innovative genomic
approaches to address a particular biological problem. A CEGS project will
address a critical issue in genomic science, proposing a solution that would be
a very substantial advance. Thus, the
research conducted at these Centers will
entail substantial risk, balanced by outstanding scientific and management
plans and very high potential payoff. A
CEGS will focus on the development of
novel technological or computational
methods for the production or analysis of
comprehensive data sets, or on a particular genome-scale biological problem, or
on other ways to develop and use
genomic approaches for understanding
The ISE program supports innovation in
anywhere, anytime, lifelong learning,
through investments in research, development, infrastructure, and capacity-building for STEM learning outside formal
school settings. NSF 10-565

21-8 Organic Transitions Program
(ORG) (USDA)
The overall goal of the Organic Transitions Program (ORG) is to support the
development and implementation of
research, extension and higher education
programs to improve the competitiveness
of organic livestock and crop producers,
as well as those who are adopting organic
practices. In FY 2010, ORG will focus on
environmental services provided by
organic farming systems that support soil
conservation and contribute to climate
change mitigation. Practices and systems
to be addressed include those associated
with organic crops, organic animal production (including dairy), and organic
systems integrating plant and animal production. USDA-NIFA-ICGP-003218 (GG

21-9 Material Logic (DARPA)
DARPA is soliciting innovative research
proposals in the area of adaptive, high
performance military systems. As the
demands on military platforms and buildings increase, so does the need for materials that can mitigate the shock and
vibrations applied by dynamic environments. Today’s materials exhibit limited
adaptability and typically achieve only
extreme stiffness. The Material Logic
program seeks to enable material systems
that adapt to varying loads and simultaneously exhibit both high stiffness and
high damping. By demonstrating the ability to combine stiffness, damping, and
adaptive dynamic range in a single material, the Material Logic program will
enable the design of military platforms,
and buildings with the ability to continually change their properties to match the
demands of an ever evolving environment. DARPA-BAA-10-64 (GG 5/24/10)

21-10 DOD Peer Reviewed Cancer
Idea Award (DOD)
The Idea Award is intended to promote
the exploration of ideas that are still in the
early stages of development yet have the
potential to yield high-impact results and
open new avenues of investigation in the
relevant FY10 PRCRP Topic Areas. This
mechanism supports conceptually innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that
could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements. Preliminary
data are not required. However, research
projects should include a well formulated,
testable hypothesis based on a strong scientific rationale. FY10 PRCRP funds
appropriated by Congress are directed for
research in the following areas: Melanoma and other skin cancers; Pediatric
brain tumors; Genetic cancer research and
genomic medicine; Kidney cancer; Blood
cancers; Colorectal cancer; Listeria vaccine for cancer; Radiation protection utilizing nanotechnology. W81XWH-PRCRP-IDA (GG 5/20/10)

21-11 Active Living Research: Building
Evidence to Prevent Childhood Obesity
(RWJF)
Active Living Research is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that supports research to inform
policy and environmental strategies for
increasing physical activity among children and adolescents, decreasing their
sedentary behaviors and preventing obesity. The program places special emphasis
on reaching children and youth between
the ages of three and 18 who are highest
risk for obesity - black, Latino, American
Indian, and Asian/Pacific Islander children, as well as children who live in
under-resourced and lower-income communities. The program has released a call
for proposals for opportunistic, time-sensitive studies on emerging or anticipated
changes in physical activity-related policies or environments. Studies should be
completed in as short a time frame as realistically possible and results disseminated
using methods designed to reach local,
state, or national decision-makers in time
to help inform key policy decisions.

21-12 Field Initiated Research and
Evaluation Program (DOJ)
OJJDP’s Field Initiated Research and
Evaluation (FIRE) Program funds
research and evaluation that address how
the juvenile justice system responds to
juvenile delinquency. Research projects
funded through this solicitation will seek
answers to questions that will inform policy and suggest ways to enhance the juvenile justice system. OJJDP may conduct
research or evaluation in juvenile justice
matters, for the purpose of providing
research and evaluation relating to control
of juvenile delinquency and serious crime
committed by juveniles; successful efforts
to prevent first-time minor offenders from
committing subsequent involvement in
serious crime; successful efforts to prevent recidivism; and the juvenile justice
system. OJJDP-2010-2767 (GG 5/27/10)

the New York University Caregiver Intervention (NYUCI), Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer’s Caregiver health
intervention (REACH II) and Savvy Caregiver Interventions, that help family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s
Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD),
can be translated into effective programs
at the community-level. This is a limited
competition and applications will only be
accepted from instrumentalities of state or

21-14 Group Mentoring Research and
Evaluation Program (DOJ)
OJJDP seeks to expand what is known
about nontraditional mentoring programs
as a prevention and intervention strategy
for juvenile delinquency. While mentoring appears to be a promising intervention
for disadvantaged youth, more evaluation
work is required to identify the programs
and program elements that best bring
about desired changes in participating
youth. OJJDP seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of a select group mentoring programs supported by local Boys and Girls
Clubs. The evaluator will work with the
Boys and Girls Clubs of America
(BGCA) to identify the project’s scope
and will monitor the implementation of
mentoring programs at several sites
across the country. OJJDP-2010-2760
