The objective of this FOA is to develop a scientific basis for maximizing developmental outcomes for the relatively rare conditions of DSD and to create a consortium of researchers for collaboration and data sharing. Proposals are due December 9, 2015. For more information, visit Grants.gov (R01) or Grants.gov (R03) Science Hall East Room 3054 D SEE YOU SOON !!!

Proposals are due December 13, 2015. For more information, visit Grants.gov Abuse Liability Associated with Reduced Nicotine Content Tobacco Products National Institute of Health (NIH); The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to generate data to inform the FDA on ways to reduce the addictiveness and resulting public health toll from tobacco product use in Prevention $ 96,288.00 August 2015 Awards Carmen Ortiz Educational Opportunity Fund NJ Secretary of Higher Education EOF, FY2016 $ 1,009,441.00 2015 - 2016 the United States. Nicotine is the primary constituent responsible for the addictiveness of cigarettes, resulting in smokers’ inability to quit and continued use. Research addressing nicotine and combusted tobacco product use behaviors (e.g., reinforcing effects, compensation, and amount used) and the dose-effects of nicotine will inform FDA regarding its tobacco regulatory authorities. Research projects must address the research priorities related to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) as mandated by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31. The awards under this FOA will be administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) using designated funds from the FDA CTP for tobacco regulatory science. Proposals are due October 30, 2015.

Grants.gov Federal portal to finding funding National Science Foundation (NSF); The Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Science Research (IBSS) competition promotes the conduct of interdisciplinary research by teams of investigators in the social and behavioral sciences. Emphasis is placed on support for research that involves researchers from multiple SBE disciplinary fields and that integrates scientific theoretical approaches and methodologies from multiple SBE disciplinary fields. Emphasis also is placed on the significance of expected intellectual contributions that are likely to yield generalizable insights and information that will enhance theoretical perspectives and advance basic knowledge and capabilities across multiple SBE disciplinary fields. Although the IBSS competition will consider any proposal that addresses a topic for which the proposal makes a compelling case that the research will enhance broader theoretical understanding across multiple social and behavioral science fields, social and behavioral science researchers are especially encouraged to submit proposals for research on one of the following three broadly defined topics: Population Change; Sources and Consequences of Disparities; and Technology, New Media, and Social Networks. Proposals are due December 1, 2015. For more information, visit Grants.gov Sparks! Ignition Grants for Museums opportunities and applying for support.

Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS); Sparks Grants are a special funding opportunity within the IMLS National Leadership Grants for Museums program. These small grants encourage museums to prototype and evaluate specific innovations in the ways they operate and the services they provide resulting in new tools, products, services, or organizational practices. Applicants may propose activities or approaches that involve risk, as long as the project results - be they success, failure, or a combination thereof - offer valuable information to the museum field and the potential for improvement in the ways museums serve their communities. Proposals are due December 1, 2015. For more information, visit imls.gov Museums for America Institute of Museums and Library Services (IMLS); The Museums for America (MFA) program supports projects that strengthen the ability of an individual museum to serve its public.
