47-2 Smithsonian Institution
Fellowship Program (Smithsonian)
The Smithsonian Institution encourages access to its collections, staff specialties, and reference resources by visiting scholars, scientists, and students. The Institution offers in-residence appointments for research and study using its facilities, and the advice and guidance of its staff members in fields that are actively pursued by the museums and research organizations of the Institution. At present these fields include: Animal behavior, ecology, and environmental science, including an emphasis on the tropics;
Anthropology, including archaeology,
Astrophysics and astronomy; Earth sciences and paleobiology; Evolutionary and systematic biology; History of science and technology; History of art, especially American, contemporary,
African, and Asian art, twentieth-century
American crafts, and decorative arts;
Social and cultural history of the United
States; and Folklife. Proposals should fall under at least one of the Smithsonian
Institution’s four grand challenges:
Unlocking the Mysteries of the Universe,
Understanding and Sustaining a Biodiverse Planet; Valuing World Cultures; and/or Understanding the American
Experience.

47-3 Advanced Health Services through System Modeling Research
(NSF)
NSF, in collaboration with the Health
Information Technology (IT) Portfolio at the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ), will accept and review investigator-initiated proposals that address systems modeling in health services research. The Service Enterprise
Systems program in the Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation
(CMMI) division of the Engineering
Directorate will be the lead program on this interdisciplinary topic. Through this partnership, NSF and AHRQ look to foster new collaborations among health services researchers and industrial and systems engineers with a specific emphasis on the supportive role of health IT.

47-4 Precision Measurement Grant
Program (PMGP) (NIST)
Since 1970, NIST, as part of its research program, has provided funding under the
Precision Measurement Grant Program
(PMGP) primarily to universities and colleges so that faculty may conduct significant research in the field of fundamental measurement or the determination of fundamental constants. NIST sponsors these research projects 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 PMGP is also intended to make it possible for researchers to pursue new ideas for which other sources of support may be difficult to find. There is some latitude in research topics that will be considered under the
PMGP. The key requirement is that the proposed project is consistent with
NIST’s ongoing work in the field of basic measurement science. 2012-NIST-

47-5 Dear Colleague Letter:
Computational and Data-Enabled
Science and Engineering in
Mathematical and Statistical Sciences
(CDS&E-MSS) (NSF)
The Division of Mathematical Sciences and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure of the National Science Foundation recognize the importance of fundamental mathematical and statistical research in this field of computational and data-enabled science and engineering (CDS&E) and envision that the mathematical and statistical research communities will play a leading role in the future development of this emerging science. In partnership with the Office of Cyberinfrastructure, the
CDS&E-MSS program in DMS supports fundamental mathematical and statistical research at the core of this emerging discipline. The goal of the program is to promote the creation, development, and application of the next generation of mathematical and statistical theories and tools that will be essential for addressing the challenges presented to the scientific and engineering communities by the everexpanding role of computational modeling and simulation on the one hand, and the explosion in production of digital and observational data on the other. The program has strong interest in multidisciplinary collaboration and the training of next-generation mathematicians and statisticians firmly grounded in CDS&E.

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

the Office of Physical Sciences-Oncology
(OPSO) of the National Cancer Institute will accept and review investigator-initiated proposals related to the application of physical and engineering sciences knowledge towards understanding cancer diseases. Researchers have the opportunity to submit proposals to advance the understanding of cancer processes (e.g. initiation and progression, invasion and metastasis, heterogeneity or resistance, etc.) at various temporal and/or spatial scales with perspectives from physical sciences and engineering. Considering these opportunities and areas of needed knowledge, competitive proposals submitted in response to this announcement should 1) develop novel non-traditional physical and engineering sciences based approaches, materials, or platforms to understand and/or control cancer; 2) generate unique sets of physical measurements that can provide insight into molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, metastasis, drug resistance or other aspects of cancer that could eventually lead to more effective disease treatment;
3) develop and evaluate theoretical approaches (using simulation or control theory, for example) to provide a comprehensive and dynamic understanding of cancer. NSF 12-514

47-7 Development of Courses or
Workshops in Metabolomics (R25)
(NIH)
Metabolomics represents a rapidly growing field that has the potential to advance our understanding of human diseases and patient responses to therapeutic procedures. This R25 grant program supports the development of innovative courses or workshops to educate students and investigators who wish to receive training in the field of metabolomics. The ultimate goal of these programs is to prepare investigators to advance the use of metabolomics in translational research and to support highly interdisciplinary teams that are conducting metabolomic studies.
This award is intended to a) support planning and implementation of new workshops or courses in the varied disciplines needed for metabolomics or b) support the expansion of existing workshops or educational courses in metabolomics.

(IREX)
The Short-Term Travel Grants Program
(STG) is a flexible fellowship offering support to postdoctoral scholars and professionals to conduct research in Eastern
Europe and Eurasia on issues relevant to the U.S. Government. Because STG supports research for a maximum of eight weeks, fellows have the ability to conduct shorter research trips without significantly affecting their teaching and work schedules. (TGA 11/11)

47-11 Evaluation of NIAAA’s Alcohol
Screening Guide for Children and
Adolescents (R01) (NIAAA)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity
Announcement is to solicit applications to evaluate the new NIAAA alcohol screener for youth as described in “Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention for
Youth: A Practitioner’s Guide”. Although the questions were empirically developed, are based on a vast amount of data from national surveys as well as numerous prospective studies, and have high sensitivity and specificity in the sample studied, it is important that the precision of the screener be evaluated in practice. Applications are being sought that will evaluate the two question screener in youth ages 9 to 18 both: 1) as a predictor of alcohol risk, alcohol use, and alcohol problems including AUDs; and 2) as an initial screen for other behavioral health problems, for example other drug use, smoking, or conduct disorder.
