33-3 Arctic Research Opportunities
Arctic Natural Sciences; Arctic Social
Sciences; Arctic System Science;
Arctic Observing Network and Polar
Cyberinfrastructure (NSF)
The National Science Foundation (NSF)
invites investigators at U.S. organizations to submit proposals to conduct
research about the Arctic. Arctic research
includes field and modeling studies, data
analysis, and synthesis about the arctic
region. The goal of the NSF Section for
Arctic Sciences, Division of Polar Programs (PLR), is to gain a better understanding of the Arctic’s physical,
biological, geological, chemical, social
and cultural processes; the interactions of
oceanic, terrestrial, atmospheric, biological, social, cultural, and economic systems; and the connections that define the
Arctic. The Arctic Sciences and other
NSF programs support projects that contribute to the development of the next
generation of researchers and scientific
literacy for all ages through education,
outreach, and broadening participation in
science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics. Program representatives
from polar and other non-polar NSF programs that support arctic research coordinate across NSF, including joint review
and funding of arctic proposals and
mutual support of special projects with
high logistical costs. NSF 13-592 (GG 8/

a weekly meeting devoted to an annual
theme, and participate in the intellectual
life of the Getty. Applications are welcome from researchers of all nationalities
who are working in the arts, humanities,
or social sciences. Getty Scholars may be
in residence for one of three periods ranging from three to nine months: September
to December 2014; January to June 2015;
or September 2014 to June 2015.

33-6 NEA Literature Fellowships:
Translation Projects, FY 2015 (NEA)
Through fellowships to published translators, the Arts Endowment supports
projects for the translation of specific
works of prose, poetry, or drama from
other languages into English. They
encourage translations of writers and of
work that are not well represented in
English translation. The work to be translated should be of interest for its literary
excellence and value. Priority will be
given to projects that involve work that
has not previously been translated into
English. 2014NEA03LFTP (GG 7/23/13)

33-7 Partnerships for Innovation:
Accelerating Innovation Research Research Alliance (PFI: AIR-RA)
(NSF)
The NSF Partnerships for Innovation
(PFI) program within the Division of
Industrial Innovation and Partnerships
(IIP) is an umbrella for two complementary subprograms, Accelerating Innovation Research (AIR) and Building
Innovation Capacity (BIC). Both programs are concerned with the movement
of academic research discoveries into the
marketplace, although each focuses on

different stages along the innovation
spectrum. The PFI:AIR program has two
additional subprograms: the PFI:AIRTechnology Translation (See NSF 13575) and PFI:AIR- Research Alliance
(this solicitation). This PFI: AIRResearch Alliance (RA) solicitation is
intended to accelerate the translation and
transfer of existing research discoveries
into competitive technologies and commercial realities by leveraging the investments NSF has made in research alliances
(e.g., consortia such as Engineering
Research Centers, Industry University
Cooperative Research Centers, Science
and Technology Centers, Nanoscale Science and Engineering Centers, Materials
Research Science and Engineering Centers, Centers for Chemical Innovation,
Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation grantees and others) and catalyzing
academic-based innovation ecosystems.
The goal is that these synergistic partnerships and collaborations between government, academia, and other public and
private entities will result in new wealth
and the building of strong local and
regional economies. A PI may submit
only one proposal to this PFI:AIR-RA
solicitation. NSF 13-591 (GG 8/26/13)

33-9 Collaborative Interdisciplinary
Team Science in NIDDK Research
Areas (R24) (NIH)
The purpose of this FOA is to encourage
applications that assemble an interdisciplinary, collaborative team of creative,
independent, and funded investigators to
address a complex and important problem
relevant to the mission of NIDDK. The
team should be able to provide an integrative plan of working together to effectively address the complex challenge at
hand. The team science approach encouraged by this FOA could be used to generate a research resource, which may
include discovery-based or hypothesisgenerative approaches, to advance the relevant area of biomedical research. PAR13-305 (NIHG 8/2/13)

33-10 Roybal Centers for Translational
Research on Aging (P30) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) solicits Edward R. Roybal Centers
for Translation Research in the Behavioral and Social Sciences of Aging. Center resources are intended for the
development and piloting of new and
innovative ideas for early stage as well as
late stage translation of basic behavioral
and social research findings about established or hypothesized mechanisms of
action, at the individual or population
level, into programs and practices that

33-11 Predoctoral and Postdoctoral
Fellowships for African American and
African Studies (WIAAAS)
URL: Since its inception in 1981, the
Woodson Institute’s Residential
Fellowship Program has attracted
outstanding scholars in the humanities
and social sciences who work on a wide
array of topics in African-American and
African Studies, as well as related fields.
These two-year fellowships—offered at
the pre-doctoral and post-doctoral
levels—are designed to facilitate the
writing of dissertations or manuscripts
and provide successful applicants the
opportunity to discuss and exchange
works-in-progress both with each other
and the larger intellectual community of
the University. Preference is given to
applicants whose research is substantially
completed, thus providing them the
maximum amount of time to complete
their manuscripts within the fellowship
term. Post-doctoral fellows are expected
to teach one upper-division seminar each
year within the African-American and
African Studies Program on a topic
chosen in consultation with the Director
of Undergraduate Studies (TGA 9/13)

33-12 East Asia and Pacific Summer
Institutes for U.S. Graduate Students
(EAPSI) (NSF)
NSF and selected foreign counterpart science and technology agencies sponsor
international research institutes for U.S.
graduate students in seven East Asia and
Pacific locations at times set by the counterpart agencies between June and August
each year. The Summer Institutes
(EAPSI) operate similarly and the
research visits to a particular location take
place at the same time. Although applicants apply individually to participate in a
Summer Institute, awardees become part
of the cohort for each location. Applicants
must propose a location, host scientist,
and research project that is appropriate for
the host site and duration of the international visit. An EAPSI award provides
U.S. graduate students in science, engineering, and education: 1) first-hand
research experiences in Australia, China,
Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore,
or Taiwan; 2) an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and 3)
an orientation to the society, culture, and
language. It is expected that EAPSI
awards will help students initiate professional relationships to enable future collaboration with foreign counterparts. NSF

Graduate Students and Post-Doctoral
Fellows for Cancer-Relevant Research,
Training, and Travel (JCRC)
The Johnson Cancer Research Center at
K-State supports students and post-doctoral fellows of center-affiliated faculty
researchers. Undergraduate students may
apply, along with center-affiliated faculty
researchers, for Cancer Research Awards.

their mentors’ laboratories and receive
$1,000 awards in late spring. Mentors
also receive $1,000 per student for
research expenses. Graduate students and
post-docs are eligible for Summer Stipends and Travel Awards to present at
professional meetings. Applications must
be submitted by faculty mentors.
