GENERAL
19-1 Biodiversity Understanding in
Infrastructure and Landscape
Development (BUILD) (USAID)
The goal of this USAID program is to
maximize human and ecological outcomes by reducing the threat of infrastructure development to high-biodiversity
ecosystems through effective policy, regulatory and planning approaches focused on
engagement with government decisionmakers, local stakeholders, and civil society. USAID will support the development
and testing of innovative and catalytic
approaches in the policy, regulatory and
planning realm to reduce the threat of
infrastructure development to high-biodiversity ecosystems. BUILD will capture
and disseminate best practices in order to
scale-up what works. This investment will
further Agency efforts to support integrated approaches to development by
focusing on the nexus of conservation and
infrastructure sectors. RFA-OAA-11000010 (GG 5/18/11)

Quality Program (USDA)
Competitiveness (EDA)
The goal of the National Integrated
Water Quality Program (NIWQP) is to
contribute to the improvement of the
quality of our Nation’s surface water and
groundwater resources through research,
education, and extension activities.
Projects funded through this program
will work to solve water resource problems by advancing and disseminating the
knowledge base available to agriculture,
rural, and urbanizing communities.
Funded projects should lead to sciencebased decision making and management
practices that improve the quality of the
Nation’s surface water and groundwater
resources in agricultural, rural, and
urbanizing watersheds. USDA-NIFAICGP-003447 (GG 5/20/11)

This posting announces the availability of
funding for the Jobs Accelerator. Regions
across the nation can compete for complementary Federal resources that will be targeted to address the gaps and
opportunities specific to their self-identified, high-potential industry clusters. The
Jobs Accelerator leverages existing financial and technical resources from 16 Federal agencies and bureaus to support the
development of approximately 20 highgrowth industry clusters selected through
a competitive inter-agency grant process.

ARTS & HUMANITIES
19-3 Grants for Fellowship Programs
at Independent Research Institutions
(NEH)
Grants for Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions support
fellowships at institutions devoted to
advanced study and research in the
humanities. NEH fellowships provide
scholars with research time and access to
resources that might not be available at
their home institutions. Fellowship programs may be administered by independent centers for advanced study, libraries,
and museums in the United States;
American overseas research centers; and
American organizations that have expertise in promoting research on foreign cultures. Individual scholars must apply
directly to the institutions themselves. A
list of currently funded institutions is
available. In evaluating applications
from programs at institutions located in
the United States, priority is given to
those with library holdings, archives, or
other special collections either on site or
nearby that are available as resources for
NEH fellows. American overseas
research centers should demonstrate a
particular benefit to NEH fellows by virtue of their location and other resources.
FPIRI grants provide funding to programs for humanities fellowships of four
to twelve months. 20110817-RA (GG 5/

19-6 Terrestrial Ecosystem Science
(DOE)
The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER), U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE), announces its interest
in receiving applications for terrestrial
ecosystem science that will improve the
understanding of the role of terrestrial
ecosystems in climate forcing related to a
changing climate. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) program will consider
applications on measurements, experiments, modeling and synthesis that provide improved quantitative and predictive
understanding of the terrestrial ecosystem
that can affect atmospheric greenhouse
gas concentration changes and thereby
affect the anthropogenic gas forcing of
climate. The emphasis of this FOA is to
understand the impact of, and feedbacks
from a changing climate on non-managed
terrestrial I ecosystems. DE-FOA0000536 (GG 5/11/11)

Health Care (R21/R33) (NIH)
This funding opportunity announcement
(FOA) issued by National Institute on
Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) invites Exploratory/
Developmental Phased Innovation (R21/
R33) grant applications to support
research and/or infrastructure needs leading to more accessible and affordable
hearing health care (HHC). For the purpose of the working group and this FOA,
hearing health care includes assessment
(including screening) and nonmedical
treatment and rehabilitation of HL,
including hearing aid selection and fitting
and aural rehabilitation (counseling, auditory training). The proposed research
aims should lead to the delivery of better
healthcare access and outcomes and be
directed to solutions that are effective,
affordable, and deliverable to those who
need them. RFA-DC-12-003 (NIHG 5/20/

19-8 Toward An Improved
Understanding of HDL Function,
NHLBI (R01) (NIH)
This FOA encourages grant applications
that propose to develop, validate, and
standardize assays to measure HDL function and biomarkers for HDL function
and to identify novel genes, pathways,
and potential HDL targets in the relationship to HDL function. Innovative methods to determine HDL functional
properties such as in vivo reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), anti-oxidant, antiinflammatory, and antithrombotic activities, and biomarkers for HDL function are
encouraged. Projects that will explore
HDL functional pathways, new genes,
and therapeutics related to HDL function
are also encouraged. PA-11-012 (NIHG

19-10 Improving Service Delivery to
Youth in the Child Welfare System
(ACF)
The purpose of this funding opportunity
announcement (FOA) is to develop and
evaluate programs that promote the safety
and well-being of children and families
and that allow youth, where safe and
appropriate, to return to families from
which they have been removed, by building relationship skills to mitigate risk and
to promote protective and resiliency factors in youth who have experienced
trauma or abuse. Projects will target youth
in the child welfare system, or those at
risk of entering the child welfare system,
including LGBTQ, pregnant and parenting teens, and other youth with serious
risk factors. (HHS-2011-ACF-ACYFCW-0186 (GG 5/18/11)

19-11 Early Head Start University
Partnership Grants: Buffering
Children from Toxic Stress (ACF)
The Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) announces the Early
Head Start University Partnership Grants:
Buffering Children from Toxic Stress.
These grants fund research activities to
implement promising parenting interventions which augment ongoing Early Head
Start services, in order to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable infants and
toddlers. The purpose of this announcement is to report the availability of grant
projects to promote knowledge of how
Early Head Start programs can buffer
children from the effects of toxic stress by
supporting parenting/caregiving. Grantees
will be required to demonstrate a partnership or partnerships with early Head Start
programs as an integral part of the
research plan development and execution.
They will implement a promising parenting interventions model, augmenting
existing Early Head Start services, for
those children and families at the highest
levels of stress. The evaluation component will include a validation of the
selected risk factors as indicating a risk
for toxic stress, and implementation study
of the parenting intervention, as well as a
rigorous test of the effectiveness of the
intervention. HHS-2011-ACF-OPREYR-0204 (GG 5/19/11)

This FOA invites applications to conduct
research on the effects of alcohol-related
public policies on heath, economic, and
social behaviors and outcomes. The purpose of the FOA is to advance understanding of public policy pertaining to
alcohol as a tool for improving public

System (APIS) as a resource for researchers conducting studies in this area; studies
that make use of the information available
through APIS are particularly encouraged. Research supported by this FOA
includes, but is not necessarily limited to,
studies examining the effects of alcoholrelated public policies on health-related
behaviors and outcomes, evaluations of
public policies as tools for improving
public health, and research to advance
