28-3 Paleo Perspectives on Climate
Change (P2C2) (NSF)
The goal of research funded under the
interdisciplinary P2C2 solicitation is to
utilize key geological, chemical, atmospheric (gas in ice cores), and biological
records of climate system variability to
provide insights into the mechanisms and
rate of change that characterized Earth’s
past climate variability, the sensitivity of
Earth’s climate system to changes in forcing, and the response of key components
of the Earth system to these changes.
Important scientific objectives of P2C2
are to: 1) provide comprehensive paleoclimate data sets that can serve as model
test data sets analogous to instrumental
observations; and 2) enable transformative syntheses of paleoclimate data and
modeling outcomes to understand the
response of the longer-term and higher
magnitude variability of the climate system that is observed in the geological and
cryospheric records. NSF 13-576

28-4 Laura Bush 21st Century
Librarian Program (IMLS)
The Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian
Program (LB21) invests in the nation’s
information infrastructure by funding
projects designed to address the education
and training needs of the professionals
who help build, maintain, and provide
public access to the world’s wide-ranging
information systems and sources. In 2013,
the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian
Program will support projects to develop
faculty and library leaders, to recruit and
educate the next generation of librarians
and archivists, to build institutional
capacity in graduate schools of library
and information science, and to assist in
the professional development of librarians
and archivists. This grant program is
especially interested in developing information professionals who can help manage the burgeoning data generated by the
nation’s researchers, serve as stewards of
the nation’s cultural legacy, and meet the
information needs of the underserved.
The program also seeks to help librarians
develop the information and digital literacy of their communities, as well as other
critical skills their users will need to be
successful in the 21st century. This program addresses the field’s need to
advance the work of new faculty in
library and information science by supporting an early career development program for untenured, tenure-track faculty.
Research conducted under the early
careers program should be in the faculty
member’s particular research area and is
not restricted to research on the profession. L21-FY14 (GG 7/22/13)

28-6 Partnerships for Innovation:
Accelerating Innovation ResearchTechnology Translation (PFI:AIR-TT)
(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). In the final
analysis, 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 subject of this
solicitation is PFI: AIR Technology
Translation (TT) only. The PFI: AIR-TT
solicitation is intended to help bridge the
funding gap between existing research
discoveries that validate relevant science
and engineering fundamentals and their
translation through proof-of-concept, prototype, or scale-up along a path toward
commercialization and engage faculty
and students in entrepreneurial/innovative
thinking. The proposal must have at least
one and no more than four co-PIs. One
co-PI must have explicit business experience (for example, someone from the
technology transfer office, the business
school or a local/regional development
office) and must have an active role that is
explicitly described along with the specification of a time commitment on the
project. NSF 13-575

Infectious Diseases (EEID) (NSF)
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 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 reservoir 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 13-577
