GENERAL
3-1 Scholar Awards in Complex
Systems Science (McDonnell)
The Complex Systems program supports
scholarship and research directed toward
the development of theoretical and mathematical tools that can be applied to the
study of complex, adaptive, nonlinear systems. It is anticipated that research funded
in this program will address issues in fields
such as biology, biodiversity, climate,
demography, epidemiology, technological
change, economic development, governance, or computation. The JSMF Scholar
Awards are designed to support research
with a high probability of generating new
knowledge and insights. (TGA 1/13)

3-3 Dear Colleague Letter - Basic
Research to Enable Agricultural
Development (BREAD) Ideas
Challenge (NSF)
In 2009, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation (BMGF) announced a partnership program entitled “Basic
Research to Enable Agricultural Development” or “BREAD” administered by
NSF. The objective of BREAD is to support innovative basic scientific research
designed to address key constraints to
smallholder agriculture in the developing
world. The fourth competition will take a
novel approach to fulfilling BREAD’s
goals by division into two separate
stages. The first stage will comprise an
Ideas Challenge offering up to 25 prizes
of $10,000 each for the best ideas for
innovative, potentially transformative
research foci that, if successfully
addressed, could eventually be of significant benefit to smallholder farmers in
developing countries. Ideas will be
accepted in any area of basic research
and technology development in all fields
of biological and physical sciences and
engineering as long as the proposed
research challenge or idea is consistent
with the BREAD Program objectives.
The winning ideas will be focus areas for
the second stage of the program, Early
Concept Grants for Exploratory Research
(EAGER) proposals, although all ideas
within the scope of the BREAD Program
will continue to be welcome. NSF 13035

Environmental Technology
Demonstrations (SERDP)
The Department of Defense (DoD),
through the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP),
supports the demonstration of technologies that address priority DoD environmental requirements. The goal of ESTCP
is to promote the transfer of innovative
environmental technologies through demonstrations that collect the data needed for
regulatory and DoD end-user acceptance.
Projects conduct formal demonstrations at
DoD facilities and sites in operational settings to document and validate improved
performance and cost savings.

3-5 Precision Measurement Grant
Program (PMGP) (NIST)
Since 1970, NIST, as part of its research
program, has provided funding under the
Precision Measurement Grant Program
(PMGP) primarily to universities and colleges so that faculty may conduct significant research in the field of fundamental
measurement or the determination of fundamental constants. NIST sponsors these
research projects primarily to encourage
basic, measurement-related research in
universities and colleges and other
research laboratories and to foster contacts between NIST scientists and those
faculty members of academic institutions
and other researchers who are actively
engaged in such work. The PMGP also is
intended to make it possible for researchers to pursue new ideas for which other
sources of support may be difficult to
find. 2013-NIST-PMGP-01 (GG 1/14/13)

3-6 EarthCube: Developing a
Community-Driven Data and
Knowledge Environment for the
Geosciences (NSF)
EarthCube is a community-driven activity
sponsored through a partnership between
the NSF Directorate of Geosciences and
Office of Cyberinfrastructure to transform
the conduct of geosciences research and
education. EarthCube aims to create a
well-connected and facile environment to
share data and knowledge in an open,
transparent, and inclusive manner, thus
accelerating the ability of the geosciences
community to understand and predict the
Earth system. Proposals are requested to
develop and test an EarthCube governance. The critical importance of a community-driven and operated governance
framework for EarthCube activities has
been highlighted in two 2012 EarthCube
community documents. Test Enterprise
Governance proposals must be collabora-

tive and broadly inclusive of geoscientists, cyberinfrastructure and computer
scientists. They should effectively engage
interested agency, industry and international partners. This is a phased planning
and implementation activity. The EarthCube Test Enterprise Governance phase
entails three specific responsibilities, a
Planning stage, a Demonstration stage
and on-going Outreach activities. NSF
also solicits proposals for EarthCube
Research Coordination Networks (RCN).
EarthCube RCNs are intended to advance
geosciences cyberinfrastructure through
interaction and understanding between
geoscientists, CI experts, and computer
scientists. RCNs will provide geosciences
communities with the opportunity to
present coherent and representative plans
for their cyberinfrastructure needs. Outcomes should impact the communities
involved, moving them closer to shared
goals. They will provide a voice and
impact on the EarthCube process for the
geosciences end-user communities, influencing the direction of EarthCube architecture and cyberinfrastructure
developments. NSF 13-529

Engineering Program (CC-NIE) (NSF)
The Campus Cyberinfrastructure - Network Infrastructure and Engineering (CCNIE) program invests in improvements
and re-engineering at the campus level to
support a range of data transfers supporting computational science and computer
networks and systems research. The program also supports Network Integration
activities tied to achieving higher levels
of performance, reliability and predictability for science applications and distributed research projects. Two types of
CC-NIE awards will be made. Data
Driven Networking and Infrastructure for
the Campus and Researcher awards will
be supported at up to $500,000 total for

3-8 University Transportation
Centers Open Competition 2013 (DOT)
The Research and Innovative Technology
Administration (RITA) of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (US DOT)
is seeking applications from non-profit
institutions of higher education to operate
National, Regional and Tier 1 University
Transportation Centers (UTCs or Centers). The purpose of these Centers is to
advance U.S. technology and expertise in
the many modes and disciplines comprising transportation through the mechanism
of research, education, and technology
transfer; to provide a critical transportation knowledge base outside the US DOT;
and to address vital workforce needs for
the next generation of transportation leaders. A UTC must be located in the United
States or territories. It may be a single
university or a consortium of tow or more
universities. Each Center is required to
obtain matching funds from non-federal
sources. UTCOPENCOMP2013 (GG 12/

3-12 Violent Gang and Gun Crime
Reduction Program (Project Safe
Neighborhoods) (DOJ)
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is
designed to create safer neighborhoods
through a sustained reduction in crime
associated with gang and gun violence,
and violent offenders. The program’s
effectiveness is based on the cooperation
of local, state, and federal agencies
engaged in a unified approach led by the
U.S. Attorney (USA) in each district. The
USA is responsible for establishing a collaborative PSN task force of federal, state,
and local law enforcement and other community members to implement gang and
gun crime enforcement, intervention and
prevention initiatives within the district.
Through the PSN task force, the USA will
implement the five design features of
PSN—partnerships, strategic planning,
training, outreach, and accountability—to
address specific gun and gang crime, and
violent offenders, in the most violent
neighborhoods. BJA-2013-3476 (GG 1/9/
