Art Works: Arts Education
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA); The NEA recognizes these catalytic
effects of excellent art, and the key role that arts and design organizations play in
revitalizing them. To deepen and extend the arts' value, including their ability to
foster new connections and to exemplify creativity and innovation, we welcome
projects that:
- Are likely to prove transformative with the potential for meaningful change,
whether in the development or enhancement of new or existing art forms, new
approaches to the creation or presentation of art, or new ways of engaging the
public with art;
- Are distinctive, offering fresh insights and new value for their fields and/or the
public through unconventional solutions; and
- Have the potential to be shared and/or emulated, or are likely to lead to other
advances in the field. Proposals are due February 18, 2016. For more information,
visit arts.gov
NEA Art Works Creativity Connects Projects
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA); Creativity Connects is an initiative
that will show how the arts are central to the country's creativity ecosystem,
investigate how support systems for the arts have changed, explore how the arts
connect with other industries, and invest in innovative projects to spark new
ideas for the arts field. A key component to the Creativity Connects initiative is a
pilot grant opportunity in the Art Works category to support partnerships
between arts organizations and organizations from non-arts sectors that include,
but are not limited to, business, education, environment, faith, finance, food,
health, law, science, and technology. Proposals are due March 3, 2016. For more
information, visit arts.gov
NEA Challenge America
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA); The Challenge America category
offers support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations for projects that
extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations -- those whose
opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity,
economics, or disability. Age alone (e.g., youth, seniors) does not qualify a group
as underserved; at least one of the underserved characteristics noted above also
must be present. Grants are available for professional arts programming and for
projects that emphasize the potential of the arts in community development.
Proposals are due April 14, 2016. For more information, visit arts.gov

(STEM+C) program seeks to advance a 21st century conceptualization of
education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) that
includes computing, both as a STEM discipline in its own right consistent with
the STEM Education Act of 2015, which explicitly includes computing as a STEM
discipline for purposes of federal programs [1] and as a discipline integral to the
practice of all other STEM disciplines. Proposals are due March 28, 2016. For

and achieve greater levels of health equity.
The informational webinar will be held on February 16 from 1–2 p.m. ET.
Proposals are due March 15, 2016. For more information and to sign up for the

Program are to: advance fundamental knowledge about learning through
integrative research; connect the research to specific scientific, technological,
educational, and workforce challenges; and enable research communities to
capitalize on new opportunities and discoveries. The program supports projects
that emphasize consilience of knowledge, adopting diverse disciplinary
approaches to shared research questions. The program seeks to develop robust
and integrated accounts of contexts, mechanisms, and effective strategies of
learning. Proposals are due March 1, 2016. For more information, visit NSF.gov
Prevention Research in Mid-Life Adults
National Institutes of Health (NIH); This Funding Opportunity Announcement

provably accurate algorithms for various computational models; and (ii) other
computing and information researchers including a combination of systems and
domain experts who focus on the particular design constraints of applications
and/or computing devices. Each proposal must have at least one co-PI interested
in theoretical computer science and one interested in any of the other areas
typically supported by CISE. Proposals are due March 3, 2016. For more
