AGRICULTURE
2-4 Special Research Grants
Program - Pest Management
Alternatives (USDA)
The purpose of Pest Management Alternatives Program (PMAP) is to provide
for and encourage the development and
implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) practice, tactics, and systems for specific pest problems while
reducing human and environmental risks.
This purpose addresses the broad goals
outlined in the “National Roadmap for
Integrated Pest Management,” developed
by federal and non-federal IPM experts,
practitioners, and stakeholders in 2004.
The successful management of pest
problems in commercial production is
facing severe challenges due to regulatory changes, emergence of new pest
problems, and the development of pest
resistance to present management technologies. The greatest impact on current
management technologies is in the production of speciality crops; however,
other crops, including grain, forage and
fiber, as well as animal health, are also
being impacted by these changes.

2-8 Cyber-Enabled Discovery and
Innovation (NSF)
Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) is NSF’s bold five-year initiative to create revolutionary science and
engineering research outcomes made possible by innovations and advances in
computational thinking. Computational
thinking is defined comprehensively to
encompass computational concepts,
methods, models, algorithms, and tools.
CDI seeks ambitious, transformative,
multidisciplinary research proposals
within or across the following three thematic areas: From Data to Knowledge:
enhancing human cognition and generating new knowledge from a wealth of heterogeneous digital data; Understanding
Complexity in Natural, Built, and Social
Systems: deriving fundamental insights
on systems comprising multiple interacting elements; and Virtual Organizations:
enhancing discovery and innovation by
bringing people and resources together
across institutional, geographical and cultural boundaries. Two types of CDI
awards will be supported as a result of the
FY 2010 CDI competition: Type I awards
will require efforts up to a level roughly
comparable to: summer support for two
investigators with complementary expertise; two graduate students; and their collective research needs (e.g. materials,
supplies, travel) for three years. Type II
awards will require larger efforts up to a
level roughly comparable to: summer
support for three investigators with complementary expertise; three graduate students; one or two senior personnel
(including post-doctoral researchers and
staff); and their collective research needs
(e.g. materials, supplies, travel) for four
years. The integrative contributions of the
Type II team should clearly be greater
than the sum of the contributions of each
individual member of the team. NSF 10506 (GG 11/18/09)

HEALTH & LIFE SCIENCES
2-9 NIDCD Research Core Centers
(P30) (NIH)
The NICDC P30 Core Center grant contains one or more research-serving cores,
providing centralized resources and facilities for funded R01 research projects.
Although no funds are provided for direct
support of research projects, a P30 helps
to integrate and promote research in existing funded projects, and may include
multi-disciplinary and regional collaborations. A Core Center must be an indentifiable organizational unit either within a
single grantee institution or representing a
consortium of cooperating institutions
(e.g., geographic or web-based). The Center may serve as an intellectual hub to
stimulate cooperative research, to
increase the effectiveness, capabilities or
productivity of current research, and/or to
promote new research directions through
collaborations. Only one P30 award is
allowed per institution; exceptions may
be made with documented prior NIDCD
approval for different user groups working in different NIDCD mission areas
within the same institution, but no R01
grants may be counted as qualifying for
more than one P30. PAR-10-077 (NIHG
