(U54) (NIH)
Program (Grammy)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for
Centers of Excellence in Modeling of
Infectious Diseases. This FOA is a reissuance of a prior FOA (RFA-GM-09003). The Centers will comprise a component of the Modeling of Infectious
Disease Agents Study (MIDAS) network, consisting of Centers of Excellence, a centralized Information
Technology Resource (announced separately), and research projects (announced
separately). The overall objective of
MIDAS is the coordination of a cadre of
multidisciplinary scientists conducting
computational and mathematical
research to provide the U.S. scientific
and public health communities better
resources, knowledge, and tools to prepare for, identify and prevent the spread
of infectious diseases caused by naturally
occurring or intentionally released pathogens, including those relevant to biodefense. The Centers will address four
major thematic areas—infectious disease research; computational, statistical,
and mathematical research; education
and outreach; and public health policy.

With funding generously provided by The
Recording Academy, the Grammy Foundation Grant Program awards grants each
year to organizations and individuals to
support efforts that advance the archiving
and preservation of the music and
recorded sound heritage of the Americas
for future generations, and research
projects related to the impact of music on
the human condition. Grant funds have
been utilized to preserve private collections as well as materials at the Library of
Congress, the Smithsonian and numerous
colleges and universities. Research
projects have studied the links between
music and early childhood education,
treatments for illnesses and injuries common to musicians, and the impact of
music therapy on populations from
infants to the elderly.

19-1 Research on Autism Spectrum
Disorders (R01) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) encourages research grant applications to support research designed to elucidate the etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis,
treatment, and optimal means of service
delivery in relation to autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Autism Spectrum Disorders
share a cluster of impairments in reciprocal social interaction, communication, and
the presence of stereotyped behavior, interests, or activities. The etiologies of these
disorders are not yet understood, but may
include a combination of genetic, metabolic, immunologic, infectious or other
environmental influences. Basic, clinical,
and applied studies are encouraged. Companion funding opportunities are PA-13217, R21 Exploratory/Developmental
Grant, and PA-13-218, R03 Small Grant
Program. PA-13-216 (NIHG 5/3/13)

19-2 Modeling of Infectious Disease
Agent Study Centers of Excellence
This FOA encourages R01 applications
from institutions/organizations that propose to study neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms contributing to
concurrent alcohol and nicotine coaddiction. The National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
(NIAAA) encourages grant applications
to examine mechanisms contributing to
concurrent alcohol and nicotine dependence. Research suggests that alcohol
dependence and nicotine dependence
have similar genetic, neurochemical and
behavioral characteristics. It is not well
understood, however, whether common
mechanisms underlie the comorbidity of
alcohol and nicotine use and dependence.
The purpose of this funding opportunity
announcement is to promote research to
study neurobiological and behavioral
mechanisms of dependence and how
alcohol and nicotine use interact through
these mechanisms to promote dependence. PA-13-194 (NIHG 4/12/13)

19-5 Family Learning Literacy
Programs (Toyota)
The National Center for Family Literacy
is accepting applications from organizations and educational institutions for
projects that engage families in literacy
and mentoring. Through the Toyota Family Learning initiative, NCFL will award
five three-year grants of $175,000 each,
as well as a wide range of NCFL training
and communications support, to implement services that engage families in

given to projects that adapt existing family engagement in education programs to
include the implementation of family
mentoring and service learning components, including interactive literacy activities between parents and children,
training for parents to be the primary
teacher for their children and full partners
in the education of their children, families
mentoring other families to learn together
and participate, and family service learning through projects and the sharing of
those projects, activities, and experiences
on the Toyota Family Learning community Web site. Eligible applicants include

19-6 NSF/EPRI Collaboration on
Water for Energy- Advanced Dry
Cooling for Power Plants (NSF/EPRI)
The Directorate of Engineering at the
National Science Foundation (NSF) and
the Electric Power Research Institute
(EPRI) have established a collaboration to
jointly address the critical problem of
water usage and consumption in power
plant cooling. The water-for-energy issue
is an important piece of the Energy-Water
nexus. The goal of this collaboration is to
leverage the complementary missions of
applied research and commercialization
(EPRI) and fundamental research and
education (NSF) to foster enabling
research and technology development that
will lead to significant reductions or elimination of the use of water for cooling
power plants. NSF 13-564

19-8 National Consumer Food Safety
Education Conference (U13) (FDA)
The purpose of the National Consumer
Food Safety Education Conference is to
advance the knowledge, practice and
effectiveness of health and food safety
educators in support of two Healthy People 2020 goals: FS-1: To reduce infections caused by key pathogens transmitted
commonly through food; FS-5: To
increase the proportion of consumers who
follow key food safety practices. The proposed conference follows on prior successful conferences (1997, 2002, 2006,
and 2010) that were jointly sponsored by
the US Department of Agriculture, Food
Safety and Inspection Service, and the
Food and Drug Administration for the
purposes of enhancing public education
and outreach to improve food handling
practices, and for strengthening collaboration among internal and external stakeholders to prevent foodborne illness.
There is great potential to engage health
and food safety educators more directly as
partners in support of the government’s
efforts to prevent foodborne illness. A
conference designed to activate fieldbased educators can be a powerful way to
exponentially increase exposure of American consumers to critical evidence-based
food safety practices that can reduce incidence of foodborne illness. RFA-FD-13003 (NIHG 5/17/13)

between community partners and
researchers to engage in research that
benefits community is a central tenet to
CEnR. Even though the use of these
methodologies are commonly used, gaps
remain in how these processes work or
how the success of these programs can be
measured, such as public trust, collaboration, capacity and empowerment. The
knowledge gained by measuring trust,
collaboration, and empowerment will
inform future efforts when working
within a community. A challenge to
understanding the impact of engagement
efforts and participation in health
research, whether it is health promotion,
intervention research, comparative effectiveness or, a clinical trial, is the paucity
of measurement tools that are tested and
validated. There is a need to develop valid
and reliable tools that measure effective
engagement when working with communities. A companion funding opportunity
is PA-13-212, R21 Exploratory/Developmental Grants. PA-13-209 (NIHG 4/26/
