26-1 Antarctic Artists and Writers
Program (OPP)
The Antarctic Artists and Writers program
furnishes U.S. Antarctic program operational support, and round-trip economy air
tickets between the United States and the
Southern Hemisphere, to artists and writers whose work requires them to be in the
Antarctic to complete their proposed
project. It does not provide funds for salary, materials or completion of the envisioned work. The Antarctic Artists and
Writers Program supports writing and
artistic projects specifically designed to
increase understanding and appreciation of
the Antarctic and of human activities on
the southernmost continent. The program
does not support short-term projects that
are essentially journalistic in nature. NSF

26-9 Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
(NSF)
The CPS program is seeking proposals
that address research challenges in three
CPS themes: Foundations; Methods and
Tools; and Components, Run-time Substrates, and Systems. Foundations
research will develop new scientific and
engineering principles, algorithms, models, and theories for the analysis and
design of cyber-physical systems.
Research on Methods and Tools will
bridge the gaps between approaches to the
cyber and physical elements of systems
through innovations such as novel support
for multiple views, new programming
languages, and algorithms for reasoning
about and formally verifying properties of
complex integrations of cyber and physical resources. The third CPS theme concerns new hardware and software
Components, Run-time Substrates (Infrastructure and platforms), and (engineered)
Systems motivated by grand challenge
applications. In all CPS themes, concepts
should be developed that contribute to
new Cyber-Physical Systems science.
These concepts may include fault tolerance, availability, reliability, reconfigurability, and cybersecurity aspects of
certifiably-dependable CPS. An individual may participate as PI, co-PI, or Senior
Personnel in no more than 2 proposals
submitted in response to this solicitation
in any annual competition. NSF 11-516

26-12 Advancing HIV Prevention
through Transformative Behavioral
and Social Science Research (RO1)
(NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) encourages applications that will
advance generalizable knowledge about
HIV prevention through transformative
behavioral and social science research.
An underlying assumption for this funding opportunity is that methods of and
findings from social and behavioral studies can make essential contributions to
research that utilizes biomedical modalities. In addition, biomedical perspectives
are essential for the advancement of
social and behavioral HIV research on
HIV prevention. Therefore, this FOA
invites studies that are comprehensive in
the sense that the reciprocal influences of
relevant variables, whether social, behavioral, or biomedical are included in study
design and interpretations. RFA-MH-12080 (NIHG 6/24/11)

communities, and diverse population
groups. This Program strongly encourages applications that address multiple
levels of causation, reflecting the breadth
of epidemiology research that are transdisciplinary in nature and apply novel
methods that allow for the advancement
of science (e.g., those that investigate
interplay among genetic, environmental,
and developmental factors, or those that
examine how aspects of social environments affect health outcomes), as well as
those that take advantage of the investments made by NIH and other funders by
using existing data to inform our understanding of drug abuse epidemiology and
etiology in a creative and cost efficient
manner. Companion FOAs are PA-11231, R21, Exploratory/Developmental
Grant and PA-11-232, R03 Small Grant

Program- Senior Fellowships (USIP)
The Jennings Randolph (JR) Senior Fellowship provides scholars, policy analysts, policy makers, and other experts
with opportunities to spend time in residence at the Institute, reflecting and writing on pressing International peace and
security challenges. Senior Fellowships
usually last for ten months, starting in
October, but shorter-term fellowships are
also available. Priority is given to proposals deemed likely to make timely and significant contributions to the
understanding and resolution of ongoing
and emerging conflicts and other challenges to international peace and security.
Applications are invited from all disciplines and professions. (TGA 6/11)
