Government in Antarctica. The goals are
to expand fundamental knowledge of the
region, to foster research on global and
regional problems of current scientific
importance, and to use Antarctica as a
platform from which to support research.
The U.S. Antarctic Program provides
support for fieldwork only when a compelling justification exists for doing the
work in Antarctica. The program also

Cooperative Research Projects (U01)
(NIH)
This FOA encourages grant applications
for Countermeasures Against Chemical
Threats (CounterACT) Cooperative
Research Projects (U01s). This mission of
the CounterACT U01 program is to
develop new and improved therapeutics
for chemical threats. Chemical threats are
toxic chemicals that could be used in a
terrorist attack or accidentally released
from industrial production, storage, or
shipping. They include traditional chemical warfare nerve agents such as sarin and
VX, and toxic industrial chemicals and
pesticides such as cyanide, chlorine, parathion, and sodium fluoroacetate. PAR11-155 (NIHG 3/18/11)

ARTS & HUMANITIES
17-6 Humanities Collections and
Reference Resources (NEH)
The Humanities Collections and Reference Resources program support projects
that provide an essential foundation for
scholarship, education and public programming in the humanities. Thousands
of libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country
maintain important collections of books
and manuscripts, photographs, sound
recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art and
material culture, and digital objects.
Funding from this program strengthens
efforts to extend the life of such materials
and make their intellectual content widely
accessible, often through the use of digital
technology. 20110720-PW (GG 4/6/11)

EDUCATION
17-7 Relation Between Education and
Social Opportunity (Spencer)
The Spencer Foundation provides funding
for research projects that study education
in the United States and abroad. The foundation seeks to shed light on the role education plays in reducing economic and
social inequalities—as well as, sometimes, reinforcing them—and to find
ways to more fully realize education’s
potential to promote more equal opportunity. The foundation’s interests extend to
studies that examine ways in which differences in educational experiences
(including quality and character of
schooling as well as number of years in
school) translate into differences in
employment, earning, and civic and social
outcomes. (COS)

17-8 Earth Sciences: Instrumentation
and Facilities (EAR/IF) (NSF)
The Instrumentation and Facilities Program in the Division of Earth Sciences
(EAR/IF) supports meritorious requests
for infrastructure that promotes research
and education in areas supported by the
Division. EAR/IF will consider proposals
for: 1) Acquisition or Upgrade of
Research Equipment that will advance
laboratory and field investigations, and
student research training opportunities in
the Earth sciences. 2) Development of
New Instrumentation, Analytical Techniques or Software that will extend current research and research training
capabilities in the Earth Sciences. 3) Support of National or Regional Multi-User
Facilities that will make complex and
expensive instruments or systems of
instruments broadly available to the Earth
sciences research and student communities. 4) Support for Early Career Investigators. Proposals for Acquisition or
Upgrade of Research Equipment will not
be accepted until July 26, 2012. Post July
26, 2012, proposals for Acquisition or
Upgrade of Research Equipment will be
accepted at any time. NSF 11-544

Sciences (MCTP) (NSF)
The long-range goal of the Division of
Mathematical Sciences (DMS) Workforce
program is to increase the number of
well-prepared U.S. citizens, nationals,
and permanent residents who pursue
careers in the mathematical sciences and
in other NSF-supported disciplines. The
Mentoring Through Critical Transition
Points in the Mathematical Sciences

EarthScope is an Earth science program
to explore the 4-dimensional structure of
the North American continent. The EarthScope Program provides a framework for
broad, integrated studies across the Earth
sciences, including research on fault
properties and the earthquake process,
strain transfer, magmatic and hydrous fluids in the crust and mantle, plate boundary processes, large-scale continental
deformation, continental structure and
evolution, and composition and structure
of the deep Earth. In addition, EarthScope
offers a centralized forum for Earth science education at all levels and an excel-
lent opportunity to develop
cyberinfrastructure to integrate, distribute, and analyze diverse data sets. This
Solicitation calls for single or collaborative proposals to conduct scientific
research associated with the EarthScope
Facility and support activities that further
the scientific and educational goals of
Earthscope. NSF 11-535

17-13 Biomarkers of InfectionAssociated Cancers (R01) (NIH)
This FOA, issued by the National Cancer
Institute (NCI) and the National Institute
The primary objective of this program is
to use a systems biology approach to
develop a comprehensive understanding
of innate or adaptive immune responses to
infection with and/or vaccination against
one or more pathogenic microbes, with a
focus on NIAID Emerging/Re-emerging
Pathogens of concern to human health.
The initiative will support quantitative
analyses that will identify and measure
dynamic networks regulating immune
responses. The basis of the research program will be genome wide screens of
mutant mice for identification of key regulatory immune response genes. The
studies will be complemented by detailed
genomics, proteomics, computational
biology and bioinformatics approaches
that focus on transcriptional regulation
and signaling mechanisms. Investigators
will analyze a subset of the newly discovered murine immune regulatory genes in
human correlation studies. RFA-AI-11017 (NIHG 3/25/11)
