Mobility Programme For Researchers
(INRA/Agreenium)
AgreenSkills is an international, open,
incoming-outgoing mobility programme
co-funded by the European Commission
in the frame of the COFUND-FP7 People Programme. This programme is coordinated by INRA and Agreenium, a
consortium comprising the main French
agricultural and veterinary research and
higher education organizations. AgreenSkills supports inventive, talented and
promising young researchers (post doc),

10-5 Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Sites and
Supplements (NSF)
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active
research participation by undergraduate
students in any of the areas of research
funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in
meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically
designed for the REU program. This
solicitation features two mechanisms for
support of student research: 1) REU Sites
are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a
number of students in research. REU
Sites may be based in a single discipline
or academic department or may offer
interdisciplinary or multi-department
research opportunities with a coherent
intellectual theme. Proposals with an
international dimension are welcome. 2)
REU Supplements may be included as a
component of proposals for new or
renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements or may be requested for ongoing
NSF-funded research projects. Undergraduate student participants in either
REU Sites or REU Supplements must be
U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or permanent residents of the United States. NSF

10-6 Field Research (NGS)
The National Geographic Society awards
grants for scientific field research and
exploration through its Committee for
Research and Exploration. All proposed
projects must have both a geographical
dimension and relevance to other scientific fields and be of broad scientific interest. Applications are generally limited to
the following disciplines: anthropology,
archaeology, astronomy, biology, botany,
geography, geology, oceanography, paleontology, and zoology. In addition the
committee is emphasizing multidisciplinary projects that address environmental issues (e.g., loss of biodiversity and
habitat, effects of human-population pressures). (TGA 12/12)

The United States Government, as represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for
Food Security (BFS), is seeking applications from qualified and eligible organizations to implement the Farmer-to-Farmer
(F2F) Special Program Support Project
(SPSP) program. The F2F Special Program Support Project (SPSP) program for
which applications are requested by this
RFA, will continue to provide for US voluntary assistance for economic growth in
the agricultural sector and will promote
voluntary technical assistance and peopleto-people engagement in international
agricultural development, strengthen F2F
Programs funded under other mechanisms; expand opportunities for new
organizations and individuals to participate in the F2F Program; and contribute
to international agriculture and rural
development. RFA-OAA-13-000007 (GG

10-9 Programming Grants to
Accompany NEH on the Road
Exhibitions (NEH)
These grants support ancillary public
humanities programs to accompany NEH
on the Road traveling exhibitions. Typical
formats involve lectures, reading and discussion programs, film discussion programs, Chautauqua presentations by
scholars, family programs, exhibition
tours, or other appropriate formats for

computational methods and information
systems that support decision making.
The algorithms, methods, techniques, and
strategies must support autonomous information processing systems that can successfully and securely execute a variety of
missions in complex environments while
exploiting multiple sources of sensor and
open domain data. The program will pursue a wide variety of approaches that
enable automated systems to, within the
context of a mission, automatically analyze multiple sources of data supporting
interpretation of the data; combine data
and generate interpretations from multiple
data sources to provide understanding of
the battle space, provide management of
sensor and other resources to maintain
and improve the battle space picture, and
to enable and build high performance
software systems that are defect free and
trustworthy to implement these algorithms, methods, techniques, and strategies. 13-SN-0009 (GG 3/11/13)

10-11 ROSES 2013: Carbon Cycle
Science (NASA)
NASA, USDA, DOE, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) seek proposals to improve
understanding of changes in the distribution and cycling of carbon among the
active land, ocean, and atmospheric reservoirs and how that understanding can be
used to establish a scientific foundation
for societal responses to global environmental change.The goals of the NASA
Earth Science Program for carbon cycle
science are to improve understanding of
the global carbon cycle and to quantify
changes in atmospheric CO2 and CH4
concentrations, as well as terrestrial and
aquatic carbon storage in response to fossil fuel combustion, land use and land
cover change, and other human activities
and natural events. NASA carbon cycle
research encompasses multiple temporal
and spatial scales and addresses atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic carbon
reservoirs, their coupling within the global carbon cycle, and interactions with
climate and other aspects of the Earth system. A focus on observations from space
pervades carbon cycle research by NASA
and is a basis for partnerships with other
U.S. Government agencies and institutions. NNH13ZDA001N-CARBON (GG

proposal submissions to external agencies. Proposals consistent with this theme
are encouraged. All full time researchers
at KCALSI key stakeholder institutions
are eligible to submit proposals in
response to this RFP. Proposals including
evidence of inter-institutional collaboration research are preferred for this funding program, but not an absolute
requirement.

10-13 Collaborations for
Macromolecular Interactions in Cells
(R01) (NIH)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) is to establish
inter-disciplinary collaborative projects to
advance studies of macromolecular interactions and their relationship to function
in cells. These collaborations are
designed to integrate additional research
strategies into NIGMS’ research base of
laboratories specializing in macromolecular function in living systems. Grantees
may use this funding opportunity to i)
complement each other’s capabilities (for
example, in biochemistry, genetics, chemistry, or pharmacology), where the innovation is in the biology rather than in the
technology; ii) apply proven technologies
that are technically challenging, expensive, or not yet widely used in cell biology and allied fields (for example, mass
spectrometry, high-throughput screening);
iii) develop, pilot, evaluate, and/or apply
emerging technologies (for example,
super resolution light microscopy); iv)
carry out feasibility studies or upstream
research and development of new technological concepts that are unproven, but
potentially useful for study of macromolecular interactions. RFA-GM-14-004
