11-1 Speciality Crop Grants (KDA)
The purpose of the speciality crop program is to enhance the competitiveness of speciality crops, which are defined by USDA as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, and nursery crops, including floriculture. Applications will be evaluated by a team of external reviewers with ratings based on the ability to successfully promote specialty crops in Kansas and make a positive impact on the Kansas economy.

11-2 Agriculture and Food Research
Initiative—Food Security (USDA)
In FY 2013 only proposals that focus on reducing crop and livestock losses in U.S.
Agricultural systems will be considered for funding. Proposed projects should develop and extend sustainable, integrated management strategies that reduce pre and post-harvest losses caused by diseases, insects, and weeds in crop and animal production systems, while maintaining or improving product quality and production efficiency. Proposals should aim to develop approaches for managing losses throughout the whole food system (production, harvesting, storage, processing, distribution, and consumption), and should address the social, economic, and behavioral aspects of food security.
Project types supported by AFRI within this Challenge Area will propose multifunction Integrated Research, Education, and/or Extension Projects, Food and
Agricultural Science Enhancement
Grants, and conferences and/or workshops. USDA-NIFA-AFRI-004192 (GG

11-6 Regional and International
Differences in Health and Longevity at
Older Ages (R01) (NIH)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) encourages Research Project
Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations proposing to advance knowledge on the reasons behind the divergent trends that have been observed in health and longevity at older ages, both across industrialized nations and across geographical areas in the United States.
This FOA is intended to capitalize on provocative findings in the literature which have been insufficiently understood and addressed. This FOA is also intended to capitalize on NIA’s investment in the development of cross-nationally comparable datasets that can be harnessed to study these research questions; these include the Health and Retirement Study
(HRS), the English Longitudinal Study on
Ageing (ELSA), the Survey of Health,
Ageing and Retirement in Europe
(SHARE), and the Human Mortality Data
Base. Applications proposing secondary analysis, new data collection, calibration of measures across studies, development of innovative survey measures, and linkages to administrative sources are encouraged. Applications are not restricted to projects using the NIA-supported datasets above and may propose research using any relevant data. PA-13-125 (NIHG 2/

Research (R01) (NIH)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) is to inform the scientific community of the pain research interests of the various Institutes and Centers (ICs) at the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) and to stimulate and foster a wide range of basic, clinical, and translational studies on pain as they relate to the missions of these ICs. New advances are

needed in every area of pain research, from the micro perspective of molecular sciences to the macro perspective of behavioral and social sciences. Although great strides have been made in some areas, such as the identification of neural pathways of pain, the experience of pain and the challenge of treatment have remained uniquely individual and unsolved. Furthermore, our understanding of how and why individuals transition to a chronic pain state after an acute injury is limited. Research to address these issues conducted by interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research teams is strongly encouraged, as is research from underrepresented, minority, disabled, or women investigators.

While they are similar in theme to the previous funding for environmental policy, economic policy and governance issues, each thematic program has been redefined and reoriented with respect to specific priorities: 1)
Democratic Governance; 2) Education; 3)
Sustainable Resource Management; 4)
U.S. Policy toward Latin America; and 5)
Antarctica Science and Policy. The latter two program areas have very limited funding. (TGA 12/12)

11-8 Short-term Mentored Career
Enhancement Awards in the Basic
Behavioral and Social Sciences: Cross-
Training at the Intersection of Animal
Models and Human Investigation
(K18) (NIH)
This funding opportunity announcement
(FOA), issued by the NIH Basic Behavioral & Social Science Opportunity Network (OppNet), invites applications for short-term mentored career enhancement
(K18) awards in basic behavioral and social sciences research (b-BSSR). This funding mechanism will support development of research capability in b-BSSR, with specific emphasis on cross-training and establishing collaborations between researchers with expertise in animal models of basic behavioral and social processes and those studying similar or related processes in human subjects.
Basic research using any non-human species or with human subjects in laboratory- or field-based settings is appropriate for this FOA. Eligible candidates for this K18 will be either: a) scientists conducting b-
BSSR in animal models who seek training in the study of similar or related behavioral or social processes in humans; or b) investigators conducting b-BSSR in human subjects who seek training in the study of similar or related processes in animal models. Candidates may be at any rank or level of research/academic development beyond three years of postdoctoral experience. RFA-DA-14-002 (NIHG

11-10 NIJ Graduate Research
Fellowship Program (DOJ)
The National Institute of Justice Graduate
Research Fellowship (GRF) program provides awards for research on crime, violence, and other criminal justice-related topics to accredited universities that offer research-based doctoral degrees. NIJ invests in doctoral education by supporting universities that sponsor students who demonstrate the potential to successfully complete doctoral degree programs in disciplines relevant to the mission of NIJ and who are in the final stages of graduate study. Applicants sponsoring doctoral students are eligible to apply only if the doctoral research dissertation has direct implications for criminal justice policy and practice in the United States and is in an NIJ-supported discipline; e.g., social and behavioral sciences, operations technology, information and sensors research and development, and investigative and forensic sciences. Awards are granted to successful applicants in the form of a grant to cover a doctoral student fellow-
