GENERAL
17-1 ROSES 2013: The GLOBE
Implementation Office (NASA)
The Global Learning and Observations to
Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program is an important element of NASA’s
commitment to promoting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM) education among the youth of the
United States and worldwide and to
enhancing its international collaboration
through the peaceful use of space. The
Earth Science Division of NASA’s Science
Mission Directorate solicits proposals for
an organization or a consortium of organizations to host the GLOBE Implementation Office and collaborate with NASA in
the implementation of GLOBE, with the
objective of strengthening the programmatic support for GLOBE and enhancing
the value of GLOBE to its worldwide
community of Partners, Students, Teachers, and Scientists. The GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO) shall perform
functions related to GLOBE science, education, evaluation, and communication, as
well as other functions supporting the
GLOBE community. These functions
include, but are not limited to, the following: GLOBE community engagement and
development; Operation and analysis of
Vol. 22, No. 17
GLOBE resources and activities;
GLOBE community coordination services; GLOBE Help Desk operation.

ARTS & HUMANITIES
17-2 Summer Stipends (NEH)
Summer Stipends support individuals
pursuing advanced research that is of
value to humanities scholars, general
audiences, or both. Recipients usually
produce articles, monographs, books,
digital materials, archaeological site
reports, translations, editions, or other
scholarly resources. Summer Stipends
support continuous full-time work on a
humanities project for a period of two
months and support projects at any stage
of development. Summer Stipends are
awarded to individual scholars. Organizations are not eligible to apply. Faculty
members teaching full-time at colleges
or universities must be nominated by
their institutions to apply for a Summer
Stipend. The following sets of individuals may apply without being nominated:
independent scholars, college or university staff members who are not faculty
members and will not be teaching during
the academic year preceding the award
tenure, emeritus scholars, adjunct faculty, part-time faculty, and applicants
with academic appointments that terminate by the summer of the award tenure.
K-State faculty must contact the Dean’s
office, Arts & Sciences for nomination
procedures. 20130926-FT (GG 5/1/13)

17-4 ROSES-13 Appendix A.7,
Carbon Monitoring System (NASA)
The NASA Carbon Monitoring System
(CMS) is a forward-looking initiative
designed to make significant contributions in characterizing, quantifying,
understanding, and predicting the evolution of global carbon sources and sinks
through improved monitoring of carbon
stocks and fluxes. Initiated and directed
through a 2010 Congressional Appropriation, the program conducts pre-Phase A
and pilot initiatives for the development
of a carbon monitoring system. This
solicitation seeks new work directed
towards 1) acquisition, field sampling,
quantification, and development of prototype Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) system capabilities which can
provide transparent data products achieving levels of precision and accuracy
required by current carbon trading protocols, 2) use of this type of information for
local and regional applications related to
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation
and Forest Degradation (REDD) in developing nations, and/or 3) filling gaps in
ongoing NASA CMS research regarding
quantification of errors and uncertainties
in NASA CMS products and in understanding and engaging the users of carbon
monitoring information.

17-5 Pathway to Stop Diabetes
Research Awards (ADA)
To accelerate the research needed to discover solutions to and ultimately end the
deadly diabetes epidemic, the Association
has launched Pathway to Stop Diabetes.
With a goal of funding 100 new diabetes
investigators over the next decade, Pathway will support creative scientists who
are just starting their careers in diabetes
research, or are already established in
another field but want to expand their
focus to diabetes research. Through individual awards of up to $1.625 million,
Pathway will provide researchers with the
freedom and autonomy to pursue innovative ideas and transformational
approaches. Pathway seeks exceptional
nominees from a broad range of disciplines, including medicine, biology,
chemistry, engineering, physics, and
mathematics. The association encourages
nomination of individuals from diverse
backgrounds, including minorities that
are underrepresented in research. An

17-6 Research to Prevent Childhood
Obesity (RWJF)
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is
accepting concept papers for research on
environmental and policy strategies with
the potential to promote healthy eating
and prevent childhood obesity, especially
among lower-income and racial and ethnic populations at highest risk for obesity.
Through its Healthy Eating Research:
Building Evidence to Prevent Childhood
Obesity program, the foundation will
award grants in two categories, Round 8
grants and RWJF New Connections
grants, with the aim of providing advocates, decision-makers, and policy makers
with evidence needed to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic. Round 8 grants
will provide up to $170,000 for a period
of up to eighteen months to support innovative, solution-oriented, policy-relevant
environmental and policy studies. RWJF
New Connections grants will support policy-relevant research by early-career
investigators from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities. (PND 4/26/13)

Research in Biomedicine and
Agriculture Using Agriculturally
Important Domestic Animal Species
(R01) (NIH)
This interagency Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) issued by the
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute
of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) is
to invite the submission of grant applications that utilize agriculturally important
domestic animal species to improve
human health through the advancement of
basic and translational research deemed
highly relevant to both agricultural and
biomedical research. This initiative is
designed to facilitate and encourage comparative medicine research studies
through the careful selection and refinement of farm animal models that mimic
human developmental, physiological and
etiological processes to better understand
disease origins and improve assisted
reproduction efficiencies. The anticipated
outcomes include both the elucidation of
fundamental information relevant for the
improvement of human health and an
increase in food animal production and
improvement in animal health and prod-
uct quality. It is envisioned that each
application will address mission-relevant
areas of both agencies. PAR-13-204

17-8 Biophysical and Biomechanical
Aspects of Embryonic Development
(R01) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) encourages Research Project
Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to
advance our knowledge in the area of the
physics and mechanics of embryonic
development. Applicants must propose
hypothesis-driven developmental
research with the prospect of gaining new
and critical information about tissue
mechanics relevant to vertebrate development and understanding the basis for
developmental disorders. Investigators
are encouraged to explore approaches and
concepts new to the area of developmental tissue mechanics, and use newly
developed techniques superior to the ones
currently used in the field. It should be
noted that applications using the NIH R01
grant mechanism will require sufficient
preliminary data to substantiate the validity of the proposed research and feasibility of new technologies or tools. A
companion funding opportunity is PAR13-206, R21 Exploratory/Developmental
Grant. PAR-13-207 (NIHG 4/26/13)

17-9 DOD Military Infectious
Diseases Applied Research Award
(DoD)
All applications MUST specifically
address at least one of the MID-ARA
Focus Areas related to combat-related or
trauma-induced wound infections.
Research projects incorporating highthroughput drug screening and/or in silico
modeling, as well as applications focused

closure time, optimal duration of antibiotics for osteomyelitis). • Development and
preclinical testing of novel chemotypes
(chemical classes/materials), biologics as
potential therapeutics or prophylactics for
wound infection, and/or biofilm formation, maintenance, or propagation. Innovative treatment approaches (e.g.,
chelators, antibody, phage, antimicrobial
