KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY
“UTSR” program addresses key technologies needed to enable the development of
advanced turbines and turbine-based systems that will operate cleanly and efficiently when fueled with coal-derived
synthesis gas and hydrogen fuels. Developing turbine technology to operate on
coal-derived synthesis gas and hydrogen
is critical to the development of advanced
coal based power generation technologies
such as integrated gasification combined
cycle (IGCC) and the deployment of
IGCC power plants that capture and
sequester carbon dioxide. The Advanced
Turbine Program is an investment in
secure U.S. electric power production that
is clean, efficient, affordable, and fuelflexible, and will make possible the continued use of coal, our Nation’s largest
domestic fossil energy resource. DEFOA-0000459 (GG 2/16/11)

Program (NCGP) (DOC)
The National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), United States (U.S.)
Department of Commerce (DoC), is soliciting grant proposals for the construction
of new research science buildings or for
the expansion of existing buildings to
increase the space currently available for
supported scientific research activities.
For purposes of the Program, “research
science building” means a building or
facility whose purpose is for the conduct
of scientific research, including laboratories, test facilities, measurement facilities,
research computing facilities, and observatories. In addition, “expansion of existing buildings” means that space to
conduct scientific research is being
expanded from what is currently available
for the supported research activities. Only
2 solicitations per institution are allowed.

6-12 Targeting Resistance in Select
Gram-Negative Pathogens (R21/R33)
(NIH)
Escalating resistance to antibacterial
agents in healthcare settings is an increasing contributor to morbidity, mortality
and rising healthcare costs. In addition to
antimicrobial stewardship and hospital
hygiene measures, there is a critical need
for the development of novel therapeutic
approaches to treat antibiotic resistance
infections. While several drug candidates
are in development for gram-positive
pathogens of concern, significant obstacles remain in the development of new
treatment for infections caused by resistant gram-negative bacteria. Antibacterial agents not subject to currently
observed resistance mechanisms are desperately needed. An alternative approach
to combating these infections is to
develop adjunctive therapies to potentiate
the activity of existing antimicrobials.

6-14 Building and Enhancing
Criminal Justice ResearcherPractitioner Partnerships (DOJ)
NIJ is interested in funding multiple
projects in support of criminal justice
researcher-practitioner partnerships, as
well as capturing, in detail, relevant
accounts of these collaborations. Such
partnerships have frequently been encouraged in solicitations for research. However, this solicitation specially aims to
support activities that capture and build
on these efforts and that provide opportunities for creating, enhancing, and sustaining criminal justice researcherpractitioner partnerships that will lead to
better criminal justice policy, practice,
and research. Projects that address issues
and agencies in the juvenile justice system are also eligible. For the purpose of
this solicitation, practitioner or criminal
justice practitioner refers to those persons
working in public-, private-, or community-based agencies related to law
enforcement; corrections, including
parole, probation, and offender reentry;
the criminal judicial system; forensic sciences; or crime victim services. Similarly,
practice-based organizations or agencies
refer to public-, private-, or communitybased criminal justice agencies. NIJ2011-2819 (GG 12/1/10)
