GENERAL
6-1 NASA EPSCoR Program
Announcement (NASA/KS)
The NASA EPSCoR Program [DC Headquarters] has just announced a new round
of proposal requests for the Cooperative
Agreement Notice [CAN] funding stream.
This is a limited submission program—the
state is limited in what we can submit, and
all projects will be vetted by Scott Miller,
the Kansas NASA EPSCoR Director, at
Wichita State University. It is likely that
only one proposal will be forwarded to
Washington. The Office of Research and
Sponsored Programs will help in arranging
mandatory cost share requirements.

6-3 Organic Transitions Program
(USDA)
The overall goal of the Organic Transitions Program (ORG) is to support the
development and implementation of
research, extension and higher education
programs to improve the competitiveness
of organic livestock and crop producers,
as well as those who are adopting organic
practices. In FY 2012, ORG will focus
on environmental services provided by
organic farming systems that support soil
conservation and contribute to climate
change mitigation. Practices and systems
to be addressed include those associated
with organic crops, organic animal production (including dairy), and organic
systems integrating plant and animal production. USDA-NIFA-ICGP-004168

Next Phase (FIA-NP) (NSF)
Continuing its long-standing commitment
of supporting groundbreaking research in
large-scale networking systems, the
Directorate for Computer and Information
Science and Engineering (CISE) invites
research teams to submit innovative and
creative proposals that leverage and
enhance existing Future Internet Architecture (FIA) designs and seek to create
and demonstrate prototype systems that
will be tested and evaluated in one or
more relevant environments. Proposing
teams should include individuals with
expertise in a range of relevant disciplines
and/or research areas, from the theoretical
to experimental to those working in application domains, in order to address the
requirements of a FIA and successfully
satisfy the goals of a functioning prototype FIA. NSF 13-538

6-4 Preservation and Access
Education and Training Grants (NEH)
The Preservation and Access Education
and Training program is central to NEH’s
efforts to preserve and establish access to
cultural heritage collections. Thousands
of libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country
maintain important collections of books
and manuscripts, photographs, sound
recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art and
material culture collections, electronic
records, and digital objects. The challenge of preserving and making accessible such large and diverse holdings is
enormous, and the need for knowledgeable staff is significant and ongoing.
Preservation and Access Education and
Training grants are awarded to organizations that offer national or regional (mul-

Hydrologic Sciences (NSF)
The Hydrologic Sciences Program
focuses on the fluxes of water in the environment that constitute the water cycle as
well as the mass and energy transport
function of the water cycle in the environment. The Program supports studying
processes from rainfall to runoff to infiltration and streamflow; evaporation and
transpiration; as well as the flow of water
in soils and aquifers and the transport of
suspended, dissolved and colloidal components. Water is seen as the mode of
coupling among various components of
the environment and emphasis is placed
on how the coupling is enabled by the
water cycle and how it functions as a process. The Hydrologic Sciences Program
retains a strong focus on linking the
fluxes of water and the components carried by water across the boundaries
between various interacting components
of the terrestrial system and the mechanisms by which these fluxes co-organize
over a variety of timescales and/or alter
the fundamentals of the interacting components. The Program is also interested in
how water interacts with the solid phase,
the landscape and the ecosystem as well
as how such interactions and couplings
are altered by land use and climate
change. NSF 13-531

Initiative—Childhood Obesity
Prevention (USDA)
This Challenge Area Focuses on the societal challenge to end obesity among children, the number one nutrition-related
problem in the US. Food is an integral
part of the process that leads to obesity
and USDA has a unique responsibility for
the food system in the United States. This
program is designed to achieve the longterm outcome of reducing the prevalence
of overweight and obesity among children
and adolescents 2-19 years. The Childhood Obesity Program supports Multifunction Integrated Research, Education,
and/or Extension Projects and Food and

Diseases (U19) (NIH)
The purpose of this initiative is to establish 2-3 Genomic Centers for Infectious
Diseases as a collaborative program that
will utilize a combination of next generation sequencing and related genomic technologies, bioinformatics capabilities and
computational analyses to understand
infectious diseases, with a focus on the
pathogen and its interaction with the host.
The knowledge generated, including
research data, analytical software tools,
computational models, experimental protocols, and reagents, is expected to be
widely disseminated to the scientific community through publicly accessible databases and reagent repositories. RFA-AI13-009 (NIHG 2/8/13)

6-10 Small Grants for New
Investigators to Promote Diversity in
Health-Related Research (RO3) (NIH)
The purpose of this funding opportunity
announcement (FOA) is to provide support for New Investigators from backgrounds nationally underrepresented in
biomedical research to conduct small
research projects in the scientific mission
areas of the National Institute of Diabetes
and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Office of
Dietary Supplements (ODS). The R03
grant mechanism supports different types
of projects including pilot and feasibility
studies; secondary analysis of existing

6-12 Technology Development for
High-Throughput Structural Biology
Research (R01) (NIH)
This FOA issued by the National Institute
of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS),
National Institutes of Health, encourages
grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to develop novel
technologies and methodologies underpinning high-throughput structural biology. Applications for new ideas and
approaches for protein production and
structure determination for classes of
challenging proteins are appropriate.
Projects related to high-throughput structure determination by X-ray crystallography and NMR, as well as projects
addressing other constituent tasks of
structural biology, including structural
genomics, are relevant to this FOA.
Applications should focus on methods
development to solve challenging proteins that are not currently amenable to
high-throughput structural biology. These
challenging proteins include, but are not
limited to, membrane proteins, small protein complexes, and proteins from human
and other higher eukaryotes. PAR-13-032
