GENERAL
4-1 Pollution Prevention Information
Network (PPIN) Grant Program (EPA)
Pollution Prevention Information Network (PPIN) grant program seeks to
improve development and dissemination
of P2 information by funding regional P2
information centers. These centers serve
state, tribal, and local government needs in
addition to providing P2 information
directly to businesses. The regional centers
collaborate and coordinate on P2 information development and dissemination activities nationally in order to decrease
duplication of effort and promote efficiency. Information and training are used
to assist businesses in identifying better
environmental strategies for reducing or
eliminating waste and conserving natural
resources. Grantees of this program have
created a national network called the Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange
(P2Rx) which provides information and
services on their websites. EPA-HQOPPT-2013-004 (GG 1/29/13)

4-2 Dear Colleague Letter - Call For
Nominations - Presidential Awards For
Vol. 22, No. 4
Excellence in Science, Mathematics,
and Engineering Mentoring
(PAESMEM) (NSF)
The Presidential Awards for Excellence
in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM) is a Presidential award established by the White
House in 1995. The purpose of the award
is to recognize U.S. citizens or permanent residents and U.S. organizations that
have demonstrated excellence in mentoring individuals from groups that are
underrepresented in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
education and workforce. Groups that are
underrepresented in STEM include
women, people with disabilities, underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities,
as well as individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds and some geographic regions such as urban and rural
areas. Individuals and organizations in
all public and private sectors are eligible
including industry, academia, primary
and secondary education, military and
government, non-profit organizations,
and foundations. Nominations are
encouraged from all geographical
regions in the U.S., its territories or possessions, particularly jurisdictions designated by Congress under NSF’s
Experimental Program to Stimulate
Competitive Research (EPSCoR). An
Individual or Organizational nominee
may be nominated only once per competition. Nominations for different Individual or Organizational awards may be
submitted from the same corporation,
institution, agency or organization in the
same competition. NSF 13-044

4-3 Broadening Participation
Research Initiation Grants in
Engineering 2013 (BRIGE) (NSF)
The Broadening Participation Research
Initiation Grants in Engineering
(BRIGE) solicitation is designed to promote the development of early career
faculty who will become champions for
diversity and broadening participation of
underrepresented groups in engineering
throughout their careers. BRIGE awards
will enable early career faculty to integrate effective diversity and broadening
participation strategies in their engineering research, education, and innovation
activities.Throughout this solicitation,
the term underrepresented groups will
refer to and include the following:
women, persons with disabilities, and
ethnic/racial groups that are in the minority in engineering, which include African
Americans, Hispanics, Native Ameri-
cans, Alaska Natives, and Native Pacific
Islanders. Proposals from early career
faculty who are members of underrepresented groups as well as from Minority
Serving Institutions are especially encouraged. Only one investigator per proposal
is allowed. NSF 13-534

4-4 Crosscutting Research:
Development of Novel Architecture for
Optimization of Advanced Energy
Systems (DOE)
The objective of this activity is to competitively solicit projects in novel technologies under the Crosscutting Research
Program Area to support Department of
Energy Strategic Goals. The United States
Department of Energy National Energy
Technology Laboratory is seeking innovative research and development of novel
sensor and control systems for use in
advanced power generation systems. New
sensor and control technology will contribute the goals of high efficiency, near
zero emission, and effective carbon capture for the next generation power generation technologies. These technologies
include advanced combustion, gasification, turbines, fuel cells, gas cleaning and
separation technologies, and carbon dioxide separation and capture technologies.
To manage complexity and achieve performance goals, advances in the capability and architecture of instrumentation,
sensors, and process controls are vital in
assuring integrated unit operations, predictive on-line maintenance, and continuous life cycle monitoring and real time
process optimization. DE-FOA-0000864

4-5 FOA: Advanced Biomass
Feedstock Logistics Systems II (DOE)
The lack of logistics systems capable of
handling and delivering sufficiently high
tonnage year-round volumes of high quality feedstocks to support the rapid escalation of cellulosic biofuels production has
been identified as a significant barrier to
the expansion of a sustainable domestic
biofuels industry. In particular, biomass
physical and chemical quality parameters
have repeatedly been identified as significant challenges to the smooth operation
and economic viability of biorefineries.
This FOA will focus on developing and
demonstrating strategies, equipment, and
rapid analytical methods to manage feedstock quality within economic constraints
throughout the feedstock supply chain.
The main effort in Proposals must be
directed toward full-scale demonstration
of integrated feedstock supply chain systems that can deliver the volume of high
quality, affordable, high impact feed-

4-6 Nuclear Energy University
Programs - General Scientific
Infrastructure Support (DOE)
The development of nuclear energyrelated infrastructure and basic capabilities in the university and college community is necessary to promote R&D that
supports nuclear science and engineering
(NS&E), DOE-NE’s mission, and the
Nation’s nuclear energy challenges. This
FOA is seeking applications from U.S.
universities and colleges for equipment
and instrumentation infrastructure to support nuclear energy-related engineering
and science teaching and research laboratories. The infrastructure requested by a
university should be individual, discrete,
and definable items or capabilities that
will support, maintain, or enhance the
university’s or college’s capacity to attract
and teach high quality students interested
in nuclear energy-related studies; build
the university’s or college’s NS&E basic
research or education capabilities; or
facilitate the university’s or colleges’
capability to perform R&D that is relevant to DOE-NE’s R&D mission. DEFOA-0000814 (GG 12/13/12)
