Limited submission programs have
sponsor restrictions on the number of
proposals that may be submitted by a
single institution and will require institutional screening to determine which
applications will be submitted. Dr. Jim
Guikema, Associate Vice President for
Research, is the internal coordinator for
limited submission programs. Please
notify him at 785-532-6195, email:
guikema@ksu.edu, by the Internal due
date listed in the Funding Bulletin or by
at least two months prior to the sponsor
deadline if you wish to submit to a limited submission program. Currently

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by NIH, encourages
applications for research that will
improve understanding of the basic
mechanisms of research integrity by
bridging work in the laboratory and the
field. This understanding will advance
several goals, including: the identification of the optimal targets and time
points in the life course for Responsible
Conduct of Research (RCR) education
and the identification of common mechanisms of behavioral change related to
research integrity. This initiative seeks to
capitalize on emerging basic science to
accelerate the investigation of common
mechanisms that play a role in initiating
or maintaining research integrity and are
applicable across a broad range of
research-related behaviors. By focusing
basic research on the mechanisms of
research integrity, and by integrating
work across laboratory and field contexts, this initiative should transform the
efficacy and effectiveness of RCR education and cost efficiency of behavior
change interventions when research misconduct is found. RFA-ES-11-009

31-1 2012 NIH Director’s New
Innovator Award Program (DP2) (NIH)
The NIH Director’s New Innovator (DP2)
Award program was created in 2007 to
support a small number of early stage
investigators of exceptional creativity who
propose bold and highly innovative new
research approaches that have the potential
to produce a major impact on broad,
important problems in biomedical and
behavioral research. The NIH Director’s
New Innovator Award Program is a HighRisk Research initiative of the Common
Fund. For the purpose of this FOA, multiple PDs/PIs are not allowed. Applicants
must meet the definition of an Early Stage
Investigator (ESI). An ESI is a new investigator (defined as a PD/PI who has not
competed successfully for a significant
NIH independent research award) who is
within 10 years of completing his/her terminal research degree or is within 10 years
of completing medical residency (or the
equivalent). RFA-RM-11-005 (NIHG 8/

The National Institute on Drug Abuse
and the National Institute on Alcohol
Abuse and Alcoholism seeks to stimulate
and expand research on the interplay of
genetic and environmental factors in the
genesis, course, and outcomes of substance and alcohol use disorders (SUDS).
Previous work in genetic epidemiology
and molecular genetics has established
that SUDs are highly heritable, developmental disorders with important genetic
substrates. Building on these findings,
new studies using genetically informative approaches are needed to elucidate
the complex interplay of genetic and
environmental factors in developmental
trajectories of SUDs and comorbid conditions, deepen and refine phenotypic
definitions of SUDs, and meet the methodologic challenges of the field. Such
studies hold great potential to promote
understanding of the true contributions
of both genetic and environmental factors to initiation, progression, comorbidity, adverse outcomes, and desistance of
SUDs; to elucidate mechanisms of risk;
and to enhance opportunities for translation to treatment, prevention, gene-finding and molecular studies. Companion

31-5 NEA Research: Art Works, FY
2012 (NEA)
The NEA will make grants for research
projects that use existing datasets to mine
data for analyses of the value and impact
of the U.S. arts sector on the nation,
whether on individuals or communities.
Applications should present novel
research questions that have not previously been explored with the referenced
dataset(s). Projects that will be conducted
in partnership with for-profit entities, and/
or which use commercial and/or administrative datasets, are also encouraged.
Organizations will be asked to address the
anticipated results of their projects in their
applications. 2012 NEAORA (GG 8/4/11)

31-7 Dear Colleague Letter: United
States and Ireland (NSF)
The United States, Northern Ireland and
the Republic of Ireland have recently
renewed a unique partnership as a way of
increasing the level of collaborative R&D
among researchers across the jurisdictions
that will generate innovation and lead to
improvements in society. The agencies
involved in this effort are: the National
Science Foundation (U.S.), Science Foundation Ireland (Republic), Invest Northern Ireland (Northern), and the
Department of Employment and Learning
(Northern). The objective is to encourage
the development and submission of transnational and collaborative research
projects that address the exciting research
challenges in the areas of nanotechnology,
sensors, telecommunications, and energy
and sustainability. Potential proposals
generated as a result of this partnership
should be submitted to relevant NSF programs in accordance with the program’s
proposal due date(s) and will be reviewed
in accordance with the standard NSBapproved review criteria. No specific
funding is set aside for this partnership.

Cardiovascular and Pulmonary
Disease Mechanisms (R01) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) issued by the National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute and National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences National Institutes of Health,
invites applications that propose to better
characterize the dose-response relationship between secondhand smoke (SHS)
