GENERAL
30-1 2014 Defense University Research
Instrumentation Program (DURIP)
(DoD)
The Department of Defense (DoD)
announces the Fiscal Year 2014 Defense
University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP), a part of the University
Research Initiative (URI). DURIP is
designed to improve the capabilities of
U.S. institutions of higher education to
conduct research and to educate scientists
and engineers in areas important to
national defense, by providing funds for
the acquisition of research equipment.
DURIP funds will be used for the acquisition of major equipment to augment current or develop new research capabilities
to support research in the technical areas
of interest to the DoD. Individual proposals may request funding for more than one
item of equipment if the requested items of
equipment comprise a “system” that is
used for a common research purpose. Proposals for purely instructional equipment
are not eligible. General-purpose computing facilities are not appropriate for
DURIP funding, but requests for computers for DoD-relevant research programs
are appropriate. PA-AFOSR-2013-0001

30-2 Office of Naval Research Young
Investigator Program (YIP) (DoD)
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is
interested in receiving proposals for its
Young Investigator Program (YIP).
ONR’s Young Investigator Program
(YIP) seeks to identify and support academic scientists and engineers who are in
their first or second full-time tenuretrack or tenure-track-equivalent academic appointment and for FY2014,
have begun their first appointment on or
after 01 November 2008, and who show
exceptional promise for doing creative
research. The objectives of this program
are to attract outstanding faculty members of Institutions of Higher Education
to the Department of the Navy’s research
program, to support their research, and to
encourage their teaching and research
careers. Proposals addressing research
areas as described in the ONR Science
and Technology (S&T) Department section of ONR’s website at
www.onr.navy.mil which are of interest
to ONR Program Officers and Division
Directors will be considered. Contact
information for each Division (a subgroup of an S&T Department) is also
listed within the S&T section of the website. Potential applicants may contact the
appropriate Division Director, or the Program Officer who is the point of contact
for a specific technical area, to discuss
their research ideas. Brief informal preproposals may be submitted to facilitate
these discussions. Such discussions can
clarify the content and breadth of the priority research areas and enhance the
match between a subsequent proposal
and Department of the Navy research
needs. ONRBAA13-023 (GG 8/13/13)

30-3 Support of NIGMS Program
Project Grants (P01) (NIH)
This funding opportunity announcement
(FOA) issued by the National Institute of
General Medical Sciences encourages
innovative, interactive Program Project
grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to conduct
research which aims to solve a significant biological problem, important for
the mission of NIGMS, through a collaborative approach involving outstanding
scientists. The Program Project grant is
designed to support research in which the
funding of several interdependent
projects as a group offers significant sci-
entific advantages over support of these
same projects as individual regular
research grants. PAR-13-280 (NIHG 7/

ARTS & HUMANITIES
30-4 Research: Art Works (NEA)
Research into the value and impact of the
arts is a core function of the National
Endowment for the Arts. Through accurate, relevant, and timely analyses and
reports, the NEA elucidates the factors,
conditions, and characteristics of the U.S.
arts ecosystem and the impact of the arts
on other domains of American life. To
advance this work further, the NEA welcomes grant applications for projects
seeking to use novel research questions
and/or techniques to analyze high-quality
datasets containing arts variables. The
NEA encourages applicants from diverse
research fields (e.g., sociology, economics, anthropology) and diverse areas of
expertise, including, but not limited to,
health, education, and urban and regional
planning. Although applicants must be
nonprofit organizations, they may partner
with for-profit entities, and/or use commercial and/or administrative datasets.

EDUCATION
30-5 Data- Intensive Research to
Improve Teaching and Learning - An
Ideas Lab to Foster Transformative
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
(NSF)
The goal of this activity is to foster novel,
transformative, multidisciplinary
approaches that address the use of large
data sets to create actionable knowledge
for improving STEM teaching and learning environments (formal and informal)
in the medium term, and to revolutionize
learning in the longer term. These
approaches will involve the work of
learning scientists, STEM disciplinary
experts, computer scientists, statisticians,
database experts and educational
researchers who design and study learning environments. Among the potential
benefits of integrating approaches from
these disciplines are improving student
learning and engagement, optimizing personalized instruction, and supporting
rapid decision making to help educators
respond more effectively to the learning
needs of individuals and groups of learners in multiple settings. These approaches

effort. Submitted proposals may be shared
with interested representatives from
AFOSR. EFRI seeks proposals with
transformative ideas that represent an
opportunity for a significant shift in fundamental engineering knowledge with a
strong potential for long term impact on
national needs or a grand challenge. The

30-10 Center for Space Radiation
Research (NASA/NSBRI)
The National Space Biomedical Research
Institute (NSBRI) is soliciting for program proposals to establish a Center for
Space Radiation Research (CSRR). The
CSRR) will build upon important discoveries made by the NSBRI Center of Acute
Radiation Research and extend them by
characterizing and quantifying the effects
of space radiation on living systems.
Operating in close partnership with
NASA’s Human Research Program, the
CSRR will be tasked with researching the
acute effects of space radiation, as well as
the longer term, so-called degenerative
effects of space radiation on the cardiovascular and circulatory systems. Accordingly, the CSRR will work to reduce the
radiation related health risks that will be
encountered by astronaut crews during
future missions to an asteroid, the Moon
or Mars. The CSRR will combine exposures to both solar and galactic particles,
thereby more closely mimicking the environment actually experienced by astronauts during exploration missions.
Pharmaceutical countermeasures will also
be evaluated for their ability to mitigate
the harmful effects of space radiation.
Scientific discoveries made by the CSRR
will not only enable safe and productive
human exploration of space, but may also
have the potential to improve life on
Earth. NSBRIRFA 1302
