25-2 Grants in Music Research and
Preservation Projects (Grammy)
The Grammy Foundation annually provides support for music archiving and
preservation efforts and for scientific
research projects related to the impact of
music on the human condition. Scientific
Research Projects Grants include the
study of the effects of music on mood,
cognition and healing; the medical and
occupational well-being of music professionals; and the creative process underlying music. The Archiving and
Preservation Projects Grants are awarded
to organizations and individuals in support of efforts that advance the archiving

25-1 Healthy Schools: Environmental
Factors, Children's Health and
Performance, and Sustainable Building
Practices (EPA)
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to
Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research that
will inform school (K-12 educational facilities) building design, construction and
operation practices in order to foster safe
and healthy school environments and maximize student achievement and teacher and
staff effectiveness. Specifically, the goal is
to understand the relationship between
environmental factors defined broadly and
the health, safety and performance of students, teachers and staff. In addition to
health-related concerns, the school environment may similarly impact the performance of students, teachers and staff,
including lowering student achievement
outcomes, and reducing teacher effectiveness. Accordingly, research is needed to
better understand the negative impacts of
the school environment on students’
health, safety, and achievement, and to
measure the positive potential benefits of
effectively managing environmental factors and applying sustainable building
A program of the American Academy in
Rome, the Rome Prize is annually
awarded to thirty emerging artists and
scholars in the early or middle stages of
their careers who exemplify the highest
standard of excellence in arts and
humanities scholarship, in order to allow
them to pursue their work in an atmosphere conducive to intellectual and
artistic freedom, interdisciplinary
exchange, and innovation. Fellows are
chosen from the disciplines of architecture, design, historic preservation and
conservation, landscape architecture, literature, musical composition, visual arts,
ancient studies, medieval studies,
Renaissance and Early Modern studies,
and Modern Italian studies. Each Rome
Prize winner is provided with a stipend,
meals, a bedroom with private bath, and
a study or studio. (PND 6/21/13)

25-4 Innovation in Archives and
Documentary Editing (NARA)
The National Historical Publications and
Records Commission seeks projects that
are exploring innovative methods to
improve the preservation, public discovery, or use of historical records. Projects
may also focus on techniques and tools
that will improve the professional performance and effectiveness of those who
work with such records, such as archivists, documentary editors, and records
managers. Projects must anticipate results
that will affect more than a single institution or a single state. Projects may focus
on methods of working with records in
any format, including born-digital
records. Projects designed to publish historical records must focus on innovative
methods of presenting archival records as
primary sources. The Commission does
not fund projects focused on artifacts or
books. INNOVATION-201310 (GG 6/7/

25-5 Research in Quantum
Computing (ARO)
The Army Research Office is issuing a
Broad Agency Announcement for the
establishment of Research in Quantum
Computing. There are two separate
research topics: 1) Quantum characterization, verification, and validation which
seeks proposals addressing the development of theoretical and experimental
techniques, procedures, and methods for
characterizing few-qubit systems with a
focus on metrics relevant to robust faulttolerant quantum computation (FTQC); 2)
Advanced quantum computing measurement technology Quantum information
systems to demonstrate novel qubit measurement techniques for existing qubits.

Venture (EV) is an important element
within the Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) Program. This Earth Venture Suborbital-2 program element
solicits proposals for complete suborbital,
principal investigator-led investigations
to conduct innovative, integrated, hypothesis, or scientific question driven
approaches to pressing Earth system science issues. These new investigations will
be competitively selected to provide
opportunity for investment in innovative
Earth system science to enhance our capability to better understand the current state

25-7 Revolutionary Genome
Sequencing Technologies - The $1000
Genome (R01) (NIH)
The National Human Genome Research
Institute (NHGRI) solicits R01grant
applications to develop novel technologies that will enable extremely low-cost,
high quality DNA sequencing. The goal
of this initiative is to reduce the cost of
sequencing a mammalian-sized genome
for approximately $1000. Applicants may
propose to develop full-scale sequencing
systems or to investigate challenges
underlying key system components.
Exploration of methods other than those
currently being pursued as potential
$1000 genome technologies is encouraged. RFA-HG-13-115 (NIHG 6/30/13)

25-8 Recognition Grants (KHF)
Recognition Grants from the Kansas
Health Foundation expand the Foundation's support to a broad range of organizations throughout the state. The grants
are targeted to organizations and agencies
proposing meaningful and charitable
projects that fit within the Foundation's
mission of improving the health of all
Kansans. In addition to supporting
projects, the Foundation also seeks to
support initiatives that focus on promoting policy, systems and environmental
transformations that support health.

25-9 Cancer Idea Award with Special
Focus (DoD)
The PRCRP Idea Award with Special
Focus mechanism is intended to support
innovative, untested, high-risk/potentially high-reward concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods in cancer
research that are directly relevant to service members, their families, and other
military beneficiaries. The proposed
research project should include a wellformulated, testable hypothesis based on
strong scientific rationale and study
design. The Idea Award with Special
Focus is not intended to support a logical
progression of an already established
research project. The proposed research
project should be novel and innovative.
Innovative research may introduce a new
paradigm, challenge existing paradigms,
look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. Research that an
incremental advance upon published data
is not considered innovative and will not
be considered for funding under this
award mechanism. W81XWH-13PRCRP-IA (GG 5/21/13)

25-10 NINDS Research Education
Opportunities (R25) (NIH)
The purpose of this funding opportunity
announcement is to request applications
for the initiation or continuation of
nationally-available neuroscience
research education programs that will significantly advance the mission of NINDS.
The NIH Research Education (R25) grant
mechanism is designed to support the
development and implementation of creative and innovative neuroscience
research education programs for biomedical, behavioral, and clinical researchers.
Proposed research education programs
submitted to this FOA are expected to be
designed for, and available to, a national
audience. Programs intended for a local
or regional audience are not appropriate
for this FOA. R25 programs may complement ongoing research training and education occurring in the U.S., but the
proposed educational experiences must be
distinct from those research training and
research education programs currently
receiving federal support. PAR-13-240
