Professional Development Centers
Program (OVAE)
The Literacy Information and Communication System (LINCS) Regional Professional Development Centers (RPDCs)
program establishes and carries out a program of national leadership activities to
enhance the quality of adult education and
literacy programs nationwide. Through
the LINCS RPDC grants funded under
this competition, ED intends to support
evidenced-based virtual or in-person adult
education professional development
(AEPD) activities in order to assist educators who provide adult education instruction to adult learners (adult educators). In
addition, the LINCS RPDC grants will
enhance the quality of adult education and
literacy nationwide by disseminating
information to each eligible agency
responsible for administering or supervising policy for adult education and literacy
programs and to adult education and
related organizations within each state
and outlying area. ED-GRANTS-063011001 (GG 6/30/11)

(DFG), the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences (JSPS), the Russian
Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR),
and the United Kingdom Research Councils (RC-UK), will support on a competitive basis, collaborative research projects
that are comprised of researchers from at
least three of the partner countries. Proposals will be jointly reviewed by the participating funding organizations and
successful projects are expected to demonstrate added value through multilateral
collaboration. Support for U.S.- based
researchers will be provided through
awards made by the National Science
Foundation. This Call aims to support
collaborations between experts in
research areas related to the global challenge of materials efficiency to address
one or more of seven potential strategies
for reducing material demand through
material efficiency: longer-lasting products; modularisation and remanufacturing; component re-use and re-cycle;
designing products with less material;
rethinking products and their use; redesigning the manufacturing processes;
replacement of scarce and expensive elements, notably those critical for energy
applications. NSF 11-068

Development Award (DOD)
The Idea Development Award supports
new ideas that represent innovative
approaches to prostate cancer research
and have the potential to make an important contribution to eliminating death and
suffering from prostate cancer. Although
groundbreaking research often involves a
degree of risk, applications should be
based on a sound scientific rational that is
established through logical reasoning and/
or critical review and analysis of the literature. W81XWH-11-PCRP-IDA (GG 4/

The Idea Award is designed to support
promising research that has extraordinary
potential to yield highly impactful data
and new avenues of investigation. This
mechanism supports innovative research
that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will
accelerate the eradication of breast cancer. Impact and Innovation are the most
important aspects of the Idea Award;
however, applications that have the potential for high impact, but are not considered innovative, will also meet the intent
of this award mechanism. W81XWH-11BCRP-IDEA (GG 4/19/11)
