GENERAL
2-1 Ethics Education in Science and
Engineering (EESE) (NSF)
The Ethics Education in Science and Engineering (EESE) program funds research
and educational projects that improve ethics education in all fields of science and
engineering that NSF supports, with priority consideration given to interdisciplinary,
inter-institutional, and international contexts. Although the primary focus is on
improving ethics education for graduate
students in NSF-funded fields, the proposed programs may benefit advanced
undergraduates as well. NSF 11-514

2-2 NOAA Climate Program Office
(NOAA)
The NOAA Climate Program Office’s
(CPO) Regional Integrated Sciences and
Assessments (RISA) program supports
research teams that conduct innovative,
interdisciplinary, user-inspired, and
regionally relevant research that informs
resource management and public policy.
CPO funds eleven different RISA teams
Vol. 22, No. 2
across the United States and Pacific
Islands, many of which are a model for
interdisciplinary science and assessment. In FY2013, NOAA CPO and its
partners are holding two competitions for
research funding. Competition 1 is soliciting proposals to two priorities: one
RISA team focused on the South Central
region of the US, and one RISA team
focused on the upper Midwestern US.
Competition 2 is soliciting proposals
only from RISA teams and their partners
to conduct projects relevant to one of
four priorities: Preparing for floods in
urban coastal communities (Priority 3);
Scenario and management planning processes (Priority 4); Drought monitoring
and prediction products to support decision making (Priority 5); and Climate
impacts on marine and Great Lakes ecosystems (Priority 6). NOAA-OAR-CPO2013-2003599 (GG 1/7/13)

2-3 Software Infrastructure for
Sustained Innovation - SSE & SSI (SI2
- SSE&SSI) (NSF)
Software Infrastructure for Sustained
Innovation (SI2) program is a long-term
investment focused on catalyzing new
thinking, paradigms, and practices in
developing and using software to understand natural, human, and engineered
systems. The SI2 program includes three
classes of awards: 1) Scientific Software
Elements (SSE) that targets small groups
that will create and deploy robust software elements for which there is a demonstrated need that will advance one or
more significant areas of science and
engineering; 2) Scientific Software Integration (SSI) that targets larger, interdisciplinary teams organized around the
development and application of common software infrastructure aimed at
solving common research problems; and
3) Scientific Software Innovation Institutes (S2I2) to focus on the establishment
of long-term hubs of excellence in software infrastructure and technologies,
which will serve a research community
of substantial size and disciplinary
breadth. This solicitation includes SSE
and SSI awards only. S2I2 awards will be
competed in a separate solicitation. NSF

those personnel have the necessary skills
and knowledge, derived from practices
that have been determined through scientifically based research and experience, to
be successful in serving those children.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) issued by the National Institute of
General Medical Sciences (NIGMS),
National Institutes of Health (NIH),
encourages Research Education Grant
(R25) applications from institutions that
propose to develop recent baccalaureate
science graduates from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical
and behavioral sciences so that they have
the necessary knowledge and skills to
pursue PhD or MD-PhD degrees in these
fields. The program provides support for
well-designed academic enhancements
and extensive research experiences aimed
at preparing individuals from diverse
backgrounds to complete PhD or MDPhD degree programs in these disciplines.

2-9 Research Opportunities in
Complex Fluids and Macromolecular
Biophysics (NASA)
This NRA solicits research proposals for
two distinct themes: Complex Fluids and
Macromolecular Biophysics. For the first
theme, this NRA solicits research proposals to participate in the Advanced Colloids Experiment (ACE) test series, which
will observe the behavior of colloidal systems using a microscope in the microgravity environment of the Internation
Space Station. For the second theme, this
NRA solicits research proposals to conduct experiments using the Light Microscopy Module (LMM) and any of the
related hardware being developed for the
ACE test series to observe the mass transport and crystal growth behavior of biological macromolecules on the
International Space Station.

HEALTH & LIFE SCIENCES
2-10 Bloat Initiative Request for
Proposals (AKC)
Gastric dilation-volvulus (GDV), commonly known as bloat, is a rapidly progressing and devastating condition that
can develop in multiple breeds of dogs.
Bloat is of foremost concern to the AKC
Canine Health Foundation and its donors,
and as such will require a major research
effort to identify the underlying mechanisms of this disease. In response to donor
concern, we are launching a Bloat Initiative to better define, and ultimately eradicate, bloat in dogs. In order to accomplish
this goal, the Bloat Initiative RFP will
support hypothesis-driven and discovery
research; however, genomic studies in the
absence of complementary proteomic,
epigenomic, metabolomic, transcriptomic or pathophysiology studies will not
be considered responsive to this RFP.
Similarly, studies designed to enhance
surgical technique must be paired with
pathophysiology research in order to be
considered responsive. Basic science
applications should have a well-defined
translational endpoint. Collaborative,
multidisciplinary teams of researchers are
strongly encouraged.

2-11 Plant Genome Research
Program (PFRP) (NSF)
This program is a continuation of the
Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP)
that began in FY 1998. Four kinds of
activity will be supported in FY 2013: 1)
Genomics-empowered plant research to
tackle fundamental questions in plant sciences on a genome-wide scale; 2) Development of tools and resources for plant
genome research including novel technologies and analysis tools to enable discovery; 3) Mid-Career Investigator Awards in
Plant Genome Research (MCA-PGR) to
increase participation of investigators
trained primarily in fields other than plant
genomics; and, 4) Novel Methods for
Generating Physical Frameworks for
Plant Genomes (GPF-PG) to develop new
and cost effective strategies for the construction of the genomes of plants of economic importance. Proposals addressing
these opportunities are welcomed at all
scales, from single-investigator projects
through multi-investigator, multi-institution projects, commensurate with the
scope and scale of the work proposed.

2-13 OJJDP FY 2013 Mentoring Best
Practices Research (DOJ)
This program seeks to enhance what is
understood about mentoring as a prevention and intervention strategy for youth
who are at risk of involvement or already
involved in the juvenile justice system.
While mentoring appears to be a promising intervention for youth, more evaluation work is needed to further highlight
the characteristics and components of a
mentoring program that are most effective. Research is also needed to demonstrate the specific components of
mentoring programs that have a significant impact in reducing juvenile delinquency and offending. This solicitation
will fund research studies that will inform
the design and delivery of mentoring programs. OJJDP-2013-3415 (GG 12/21/12)
