Thematic Areas (RC4) (NIH)
This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided
to the NIH under the American Recovery
& Reinvestment Act of 2009, solicits
through this limited competition applications from domestic (United States) institutions/organizations proposing to develop
and implement critical research innovations in one or more of the following five
thematic areas: 1) Applying Genomics and
Other High Throughput Technologies; 2)
Translating Basic Science Discoveries into
New and Better Treatments; 3) Using Science to Enable Health Care Reform; 4)
Focusing on Global Health; and 5) Reinvigorating the Biomedical Research Community. Applicants may propose to address
either a specific disease- or technologyrelated research question relevant to the
mission of one or more participating Institutes and Centers, or propose the creation
of a unique infrastructure/resource
designed to accelerate scientific progress
in the future. RFA-OD-10-005 (NIHG 1/1/

The Integrative Graduate Education and
Research Traineeship (IGERT) program
has been developed to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists
and engineers who will pursue careers in
research and education, with the interdisciplinary backgrounds, deep knowledge
in chosen disciplines, and technical, professional, and personal skills to become,
in their own careers, leaders and creative
agents for change. The program is
intended to catalyze a cultural change in
graduate education, for students, faculty,
and institutions, by establishing innovative new models for graduate education
and training in a fertile environment for
collaborative research that transcends
traditional disciplinary boundaries. It is
also intended to facilitate diversity in student participation and preparation, and to
contribute to a world-class, broadly
inclusive, and globally engaged science
and engineering workforce. There is a
limit of four (4) preliminary proposals
that may be submitted by an institution
either as a single institution or as a lead
institution in a multi-institution preliminary proposals. NSF 10-523

The Research on Gender in Science and
Engineering program supports efforts to
understand and address gender-based differences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education
and workforce participation through
research, the diffusion of research-based
innovations, and extension services in
education that will lead to a larger and
more diverse domestic science and engineering workforce. Typical projects will
contribute to the knowledge base addressing gender-related differences in learning
and in the education experiences that
affect student interest, performance, and
choice of careers; how pedagogical
approaches and teaching styles, curriculum, student services, and institutional
culture contribute to causing or closing
gender gaps that persist in certain fields.

IceBridge (NASA)
IceBridge is a new NASA airborne mission making altimetry, radar, and other
geophysical measurements to monitor and
characterize the Earth’s cryosphere. The
IceBridge mission began operation in
2009 and will continue until the launch of
ICESat-2, currently estimated for early
2016. The Earth’s cryosphere is in a
period of rapid change. Understanding
these changes, their causes, and impacts is
critically important to understanding the
impacts of future global climate change.
Data collected under the IceBridge program will make fundamental contributions to understanding changes occurring
in extent and thickness of the Arctic sea
ice cap and contribute to improved modeling of the increases in global sea level
from the world’s major ice sheets in
Greenland and Antarctica.

is soliciting applications for financial
assistance for FY2010. The Precision
Measurement Grants Program is seeking
proposals for significant research in the
field of fundamental measurement or the
determination of fundamental constants.
NIST sponsors these grants and cooperative agreements primarily to encourage
basic, measurement-related research in
universities and colleges and other
research laboratories and to foster contacts between NIST scientists and those
faculty members of academic institutions
and other researchers who are actively
engaged in such work. The Precision
Measurement Grants are also intended to
make it possible for researchers to pursue
new ideas for which other sources of support may be difficult to find. 2010PMGP-01 (GG 12/29/09)

1-7 Remote Sensing Theory for
Earth Science (NASA)
Remote sensing science to establish a theoretical basis for measuring Earth surface
properties using reflected, emitted, and
scattered electromagnetic radiation and to
develop the methodologies and technical
approaches to analyze and interpret such
measurements lies at the heart of NASA’s
mission. The objective of the Remote
Sensing Theory (RST) program element,
a new multidisciplinary /interdisciplinary
program, is to support fundamental scientific advances in remote sensing theory
and radiative transfer, including advancement of retrieval algorithms to be used for
space-based remote sensing of the Earth’s
atmosphere, oceans, and biosphere, cryosphere, land surface, and/or Earth interior.
