The Program will address resiliency from any aspect: social, economic,
environmental and/or infrastructure resiliency, as long as the design shows
strong potential to have a demonstrable impact on public decision making,
recovery and long-term resilience. The Program is intended to increase
engagement and collaboration at a regional level while strengthening
resilience. All applicants are required to participate in a mandatory webinar
information session from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on October 13, 2015 to learn about

Super School Project
The Super School Project is an open call to reimagine and design the next
American high school. In towns and cities far and wide, teams will unite and
take on this important work of our time: Rethinking and building schools that
deeply prepare our students for the rigorous challenges of college, jobs, and
life.
This is a challenge to empower all of America to change high school. Together,
we can transform communities and build schools that inspire new possibilities.
Over the next few months, we will accept your proposals. Then we’ll partner
with the winning teams and provide them expert support and a fund of $50
million to support at least five schools over the next five years to turn their
ideas into real Super Schools.

Focused Research Groups in the Mathematical Sciences (FRG)
National Science Foundation (NSF); The purpose of the FRG activity is to
allow groups of researchers to respond to recognized scientific needs of
pressing importance, to take advantage of current scientific opportunities, or to
prepare the ground for anticipated significant scientific developments in the
mathematical sciences. Groups may include, in addition to mathematicians and
statisticians, researchers from other science and engineering disciplines
appropriate to the proposed research. The activity supports projects for which
the collective effort by a group of researchers is necessary to reach the
scientific goals. Projects should be scientifically focused and well-delineated. It
is not the intent of this activity to provide general support for infrastructure.
Projects should also be timely and substantial in their scope and impact.
Proposals are due September 16, 2016. For more information, visit NSF.gov
