16-3 Computational Toxicology:
Biologically-Based Multi-Scale
Modeling (EPA)
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to
Achieve Results (STAR) program, is
seeking applications for research in
developing quantitative, dose-response
models to elucidate the associations
between environmental agents and toxicity pathways across multiple scales of
biological organization. Additionally,
this solicitation calls for research into
way in which the data underlying these
models can be managed and shared for
easier access, interpretation and use by
the broader community for researchers
and risk assessors.

16-5 Fellowships for Early Career
Researchers (NASA)
The Early Career Fellowship program
was established to facilitate the integration of new planetary science researchers
into the established research funding programs and to provide tools and experiences useful when searching for a more
advanced (i.e., tenure-track, civil servant,
or equivalent) position. Two proposals
opportunities are offered under the Early
Career Fellowship program in ROSES2010. The first is an opportunity for
researchers to be selected as Early Career
Fellows. Early career researchers are
encouraged to apply for the Fellowship
through any participating Planetary Science Research Program element of this
ROSES NRA). The second is an opportunity for current Fellows (selected in a
prior solicitation) to apply for start-up
funds. Selected Fellows have the opportunity to apply directly to the Early Career
Fellowship program for up to $100K in
start-up funds when they obtain a tenuretrack or equivalent position.

16-6 Decadal and Regional Climate
Prediction using Earth System Models
(EaSM) (NSF)
This activity enables interagency cooperation on one of the most pressing problems of the millennium—climate
change—how it is likely to affect our
world, and how we can proactively plan
for its consequences. It allows the partner
agencies—National Science Foundation
(NSF), U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA), and U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE)—to combine resources to identify
and fund the most meritorious and highest-impact projects that support their
respective mission, while eliminating
duplication of effort and fostering collaboration between agencies and the investigators they support. This interdisciplinary
grand challenge calls for the development
of next-generation Earth System Models
that include coupled and interactive representations of ecosystems, agricultural
working lands and forests, urban environments, biogeochemistry, atmospheric
chemistry, ocean and atmospheric currents, the water cycle, land ice, and
human activities. An individual may
appear as Principal Investigator (PI), coPI, or other senior personnel on only one
Type 2 proposal in response to this solicitation (the submission limit does not
apply to Type 1 proposals). NSF 10-554

to expand fundamental knowledge of the
region, to foster research on global and
regional problems of current scientific
importance, and to use Antarctica as a

The U.S. Antarctic Program provides support for field work only when a compelling justification exists for doing the work
in Antarctica (i.e., the work can only be
done, or is best done, in Antarctica). The
program also supports Antarctica-related
analytical research performed at home
organizations. NSF 10-543 (GG 2/24/10)

16-8 Critical Issues: Emerging and
New Plant and Animal Pests and
Diseases (USDA)
This program is designed to provide onetime seed funding to help initiate work
requiring immediate attention until other
longer-term resources can be secured to
address the issue. NIFA will be soliciting
proposals on an as-needed basis during
the year to address specific new or emerging issues. For this particular solicitation
NIFA is requesting proposals that address
specific aspects of the following plant
pest and disease issues: Redbay ambrosia
beetle in avocados; Brown marmorated
stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) in agronomic, fruit and vegetable crops; Trochanter mealybug (Pseudococcus
sorghiellus) in soybeans; Uganda (Ug99)
Strain of Wheat Stem Rust; and Glyphosate resistant broadleaf weeds. Priority
will be given to proposals that demonstrate evidence of collaboration and communication with working groups and
approved multi-state research committees, however all applicants qualified to
conduct the research are encouraged to
apply. USDA-NIFA-OP-003156 (GG 4/

16-10 Bridging Cultures: Planning and
Implementation Grant for Academic
Forums and Program Development
Workshops (NEH)
To help American better understand our
own rich cultural heritage, while enhancing public knowledge of and respect for
others both here and abroad, NEH has
launched a new initiative, called Bridging
Cultures. The initiative encourages
projects that explore the ways in which
cultures from around the globe, as well as
the myriad within America’s borders,
have influenced American society. As
part of its Bridging Cultures initiative,
NEH welcomes proposals to plan and
implement a program consisting of a
forum and a workshop on one of two
humanities themes: “Civility and Democracy” or “The Muslim World and the
Humanities.” PND 4/16/10

16-11 Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC)
(NSF)
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers
and institutes where the collective efforts
of a larger group of individuals can enable
transformational advances in the most
promising research areas. The program is
designed to foster major breakthroughs at
the intellectual frontiers of physics by
providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines,
and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators
or small groups, in an environment in
which the collective efforts of the larger
group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science
and the education of students. Activities
supported through the program are in all
sub-fields of physics within the purview
of the Division of Physics: atomic, molecular, optical, plasma, elementary particle,
nuclear, astro-, gravitational, and biological physics. Interdisciplinary projects at
the interface between these physics areas
and other disciplines and physics subfields, e.g. biology, quantum information
science, mathematical physics, condensed
matter physics, and emerging areas of
physics are also included. No more than
two preliminary proposals may be submitted by any one institution. The same
limitation applies to full proposals. Any
one individual may be the Principal
Investigator (PI) or co-Principal Investigator (co-PI) for only one preliminary
proposal. The same limitation applies to
full proposals. NSF 10-560

the Defense Threat Reduction Agency
(DTRA) to develop the next generation of
mathematical and statistical algorithms
for the detection of chemical and biological threats. We solicit proposals from the
mathematical sciences community in two
main thrust areas: mathematical and statistical techniques for genomics and
mathematical and statistical techniques of
data for sensor systems. NSF 10-540 (GG
