GENERAL
22-1 Water Sustainability and Climate
(WSC)(NSF)
The goal of the Water Sustainability and
Climate (WSC) solicitation is to understand and predict the interactions between
the water system and climate change, land
use (including agriculture, managed forest
and rangeland systems), the built environment, and ecosystem function and services
through place-based research and integrative models. Studies of the water system
using models and/or observations at specific sites singly or in combination that
allow for spatial and temporal extrapolation to other regions, as well as integration
cross the different processes in that system
are encouraged, especially to the extent
that they advance the development of theoretical frameworks and predictive understanding. NSF-11-551

22-2 High-End Instrumentation Grant
Program (S10) (NIH)
The NCRR High-End Instrumentation
Grant (HEI) program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported inves-
Vol. 20, No. 22
tigators to purchase a single major item
of equipment to be used for biomedical
research that costs at least $750,000. The
maximum award is $2,000,000. Instruments in this category include, but are
not limited to, structural and functional
imaging systems, macromolecular NMR
spectrometers, high-end resolution mass
spectrometers, cryoelectron microscopes
and supercomputers. For eligibility, a
major user group of three or more investigators who are PD/PI on active NIH
research grants with the following activity codes, P01, R01, U01, R35, R37, DP1
and DP2 must be identified. Once this
eligibility requirement has been met,
additional users with other types of
active NIH research grants (such as but
not limited to R02, R21, P30, P41, P50)
mechanisms can be added as major or
minor users. There is no limit on the
number of applications an institution
may submit provided the applications are
for different types of equipment. PAR11-228 (NIHG 6/10/11)

22-3 Support of NIGMS Program
Project Grants (P01)(NIH)
This funding opportunity announcement
(FOA) issued by the National Institute of
General Medical Sciences encourages
innovative, interactive program project
grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to conduct
research which aims to solve a significant biological problem, important for
the mission of NIGMS, through a collaborative approach involving outstanding
scientists who might not otherwise collaborate. The program project grant
mechanism is designed to support
research in which the funding of several
interdependent projects as a group offers
significant scientific advantages over
support of these same projects as individual regular research grants. PAR-11-220

22-4 Risk Management Education
and Outreach Partnerships Program
(USDA)
The purpose of this combined cooperative partnership agreements program is
to deliver crop insurance education and
risk management training to U.S. agricultural producers to assist them in identifying and managing production,

risk. The program gives priority to: 1)
educating producers of crops currently
not insured under Federal crop insurance,
specialty crops, and underserved commodities, including livestock and forage;
and 2) providing collaborative outreach
and assistance programs for limited
resource, socially disadvantaged and
other traditionally under-served farmers
and ranchers. USDA-RMA-RME-SSGP002011 (GG 6/16/11)

ARTS & HUMANITIES
22-6 America’s Historical and
Cultural Organizations Grants (NEH)
America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations grants support projects in the
humanities that explore stories, ideas, and
beliefs in order to deepen our understanding of our lives and our world. The Division of Public Programs supports the
development of humanities content and
interactivity that excite, inform, and stir
thoughtful reflection upon culture, identity, and history in creative and new ways.
NEH offers two categories of grants for
America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations: planning and implementation
grants. Planning grants are available for
projects that may need further development before applying for implementation.
This planning can include the identification and refinement of the project’s main
humanities ideas and questions, consultation with scholars, preliminary audience
evaluation, preliminary design of the proposed interpretive formats, beta testing of
digital formats, development of complementary programming, research, or the
drafting of interpretive materials. Implementation grants support the final preparation of a project for presentation to the
public. 20110817-GE (GG 6/13/11)

Related Arts (Graham)
The Graham Foundation for Advanced
Studies in the Fine Arts makes projectbased grants to individuals and organizations and produces public programs to
foster the development and exchange of
diverse and challenging ideas about architecture and its roles in the arts, culture,
and society. In the Foundation’s words:
“Architecture and related spatial practices
engage a wide range of cultural, social,
political, technological, environmental,
and aesthetic issues. We are interested in
projects that investigate the contemporary
condition, expand historical perspectives,
or explore the future of architecture and
the designed environment. We support
innovative, thought-provoking investigations in architecture; architectural history,
theory, and criticism; design; engineering;
landscape architecture; urban planning;
urban studies; visual arts; and related
fields of inquiry. Our interest also extends
to work being done in the fine arts,
humanities, and science that expands the
boundaries of thinking about architecture
and space.” (TGA 6/11)

22-9 Special Program Announcement
for Office of Naval Research STEM
Grand Challenge Adaptive,
Generalizable Intelligent Tutors for
STEM and Naval Training and
Education (ONR)
The proposed topic will lead to new
approaches for building adaptive and
individualized intelligent tutors for STEM
training and education that are able to:
Increase comprehension for instructional
content over a fixed teaching duration and
curriculum; Train to higher standards of
competence (e.g., expertise), not simply
enabling better recall; and accelerate the
development of problem solving, reasoning, and decision-making skills. The program will pursue a wide variety of
approaches that address six issues that are
key to developing the next generation of
intelligent tutoring systems for STEM
applications: 1) Designing computational
cognitive models for student performance; 2) Enabling realistic and effective
student- intelligent tutor interactions; 3)
Creating individually-tailored instructional strategies for delivering a large corpus of course material; 4) Generalizing
the underlying technologies to multiple
educational domains and populations; 5)
Using the most current empirical research
on the science of learning pedagogical
approaches (e.g., self-explanation); and 6)
Designing tools for reducing the time and
expertise needed to build these tutors. 11SN-0019 (GG 6/15/11)
