29-1 Expert IPM Decision Support
System (EIPMDSS) (USDA)
The purpose of the EIPMDSS program is
to support development of expert systems
that help guide, demonstrate and multiply
impacts of USDA supported IPM programs. The goals of these IPM programs
are: 1) Improve cost benefit analyses when
adopting IPM practices, 2) Reduce potential human health risks from pests and
related management strategies, and 3)
Minimize adverse environmental effects
from pests and related management strategies. Both the efficiency and effectiveness
of these individual programs have historically been increased by the expert systems
made available to the participants. The
EIPMDSS created and maintained by the
successful applicant will help these programs maintain and communicate IPM
research, education, and extension priorities; allow a diverse group of stakeholders
to obtain access to selected program outputs; compile LOGIC model based program reports; and synthesize program
impacts. USDA-NIFA-SRGP-003909 (GG

The Ecology and Evolution of Infectious
Diseases program supports research on
the ecological, evolutionary, and socioecological principles and processes that
influence the transmission dynamics of
infectious diseases. The central theme of
submitted projects must be quantitative or
computational understanding of pathogen
transmission dynamics. The intent is discovery of principles of infectious disease
transmission and on testing mathematical
or computational models that elucidate
infectious disease systems. Projects
should be broad, interdisciplinary efforts
that go beyond the scope of typical studies. They should focus on the determinants and interactions of transmission
among humans, non-human animals, and/
or plants. This includes, for example, the
spread of pathogens; the influence of
environmental factors such as climate; the
population dynamics and genetics of res-

ervoir species or hosts; or the cultural,
social, behavioral, and economic dimensions of disease transmission. Research
may be on zoonotic, environmentallyborne, vector-borne, or enteric diseases of
either terrestrial or freshwater systems
and organisms, including diseases of animals and plants, at any scale from specific
pathogens to inclusive environmental systems. Proposals for research on disease
systems of public health concern to developing countries are strongly encouraged,
as are disease systems of concern in agricultural systems. Investigators are
encouraged to involve the public health
research community, including for example, epidemiologists, physicians, veterinarians, food scientists, social scientists,
entomologists, pathologists, virologists,
or parasitologists with the goal of integrating knowledge across disciplines to
enhance our ability to predict and control
infectious diseases. NSF 12-587

Collaborations (NSF)
29-11 Scholars in Health Policy
Research (RWJF)
The Catalyzing New International Collaborations program supports the participation of U.S. researchers and students in
activities intended to catalyze new international collaborations. NSF will consider proposals from U.S. institutions for
collaborative work with any country that
is not explicitly proscribed by the Department of State. Activities can be in any
field of science and engineering research
and education supported by NSF. This
solicitation offers support for the initial
phases of an international collaboration
with the strong expectation that the next
phase will involve submission by U.S.
investigators of a follow-on proposal to
an NSF Directorate for continued funding
of the research initiated with the CNIC
grant. To facilitate this end, prior to submission in response to this solicitation, it
is required that PIs establish communication with the cognizant Program Officer
in the NSF Division to which the followon proposal would be submitted. Alternatively, PIs may contact the CNIC Program
Director who will consult with the appropriate program director on behalf of the
proposer. NSF 12-573 (GG 7/12/12)

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Scholars in Health Policy Research program is designed to develop and support a
new generation of creative health policy
thinkers and researchers within the disciplines of economics, political science, and
sociology. Each year the program selects
up to nine highly qualified individuals for
two-year fellowships at one of three
nationally prominent universities—the
University of California, Berkeley (in collaboration with the University of California, San Francisco); the University of
Michigan; and Harvard University—with
the expectation that they will make
important research contributions to health
policy in the United States. Scholars will
be free from teaching, consulting, and
administrative responsibilities during the
participation in the program. The foundation provides support directly to participating universities, which in turn provide
stipends to the scholars. Some financial
support also is available for scholars’
research expenses, including travel.
Recent graduates of doctoral programs in
economics, political science, and sociology, including junior faculty, are invited
to apply. Preference will be given to
applicants who have not previously
worked extensively in health or health
policy research. (PND 7/20/12)

Research Careers of Students in
Biomedical and Behavioral Sciences
(R01) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) issued by the National Institute of
General Medical Sciences (NIGMS),
National Institutes of Health (NIH) solicits applications that propose research
designed to test assumptions and hypotheses regarding social and behavioral factors with the aim of advising and guiding
the design of potential interventions
intended to increase interest, motivation
and preparedness for careers in biomedical and behavioral research. NIGMS is
particularly interested in those interventions that are specifically designed to
increase the number of students from
backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical research entering careers in these disciplines. The proposed research need not
be restricted to students from underrepresented backgrounds. Comparative
research that analyzes the experience of
all groups in order to place that of underrepresented students in context and to
learn whether and how interventions
should be tailored to make more students
