Funding Opportunities Announcements Chemistry, Toxicology, and Addiction Research on Waterpipe Tobacco Grants 101: The Anatomy US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); National Institute of Health (NIH); The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is of Writing Grants Thursday, Oct. 1, 2015 12.30 pm – 2.00 pm Valley Road Room 1020 SEE YOU THERE! August 2015 Proposals Jane Stein College of Arts & Comm. Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation City of Poets $ 2,000 Sherrine Schuldt Student Development NJ Dept. of Mental Health and Addiction Services Strategic Framework Prevention $ 96,288.00 August 2015 Awards Carmen Ortiz Educational Opportunity Fund NJ Secretary of Higher Education to encourage biomedical, behavioral, and social science research that will inform the development and evaluation of possible regulatory action on waterpipe (or hookah) tobacco products. Proposals are due October 13, 2015. For more information, visit Grants.nih.gov Mathematical Biology National Science Foundation (NSF); Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS); This program supports research in areas of applied and computational mathematics with relevance to the biological sciences. Successful proposals are mathematically innovative and address challenging problems of interest to members of the biological community. Projects may include development of mathematical concepts and tools traditionally seen in other disciplinary programs within the DMS, e.g., topology, probability, statistics, and computation, etc. To receive appropriate and timely review, such proposals should be submitted directly to the relevant disciplinary program that has the earliest deadline, but they will be considered for co-review by this program, which may be selected as a secondary program. Note that proposals that use established mathematical, statistical, and computational tools to address problems in the biological sciences are typically not appropriate for consideration by the disciplinary programs within DMS. Proposals are due November 16, 2015. For more information, visit NSF.gov Applied Mathematics National Science Foundation (NSF); Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS); Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS); The program supports mathematics research motivated by or having an effect on problems arising in science and engineering. Mathematical merit and novelty, as well as breadth and quality of impact on applications, are important factors. Proposals are due November 15, 2015. For more information, visit NSF.gov Probability National Science Foundation (NSF); Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS); The program supports research on the theory and applications of probability. Subfields include discrete probability, stochastic processes, limit theory, interacting particle systems, stochastic differential and partial differential equations, and Markov processes. Research in probability that involves applications to other areas of science and engineering is especially encouraged. Proposals are due November 7, 2015. For more information, visit NSF.gov Computational Math National Science Foundation (NSF); Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS); This FOA supports mathematical research in areas of science where computation plays a central and essential role, emphasizing analysis, development and implementation of numerical methods and Kevin Walsh algorithms, and symbolic methods. The prominence of computation with analysis Ed Leadership and Prof. and ultimate implementation efficiency of the computational methods in the research is a hallmark of the program. Proposals ranging from single-investigator Studies projects that develop and analyze innovative computational methods to US Dept. of Education interdisciplinary team projects that not only create and analyze new Turnaround Partnership – NJ mathematical and computational techniques but also use/implement them to $ 1,999,265.74 model, study, and solve important application problems are strongly encouraged. 2015 - 2018 Proposals are due December 1, 2015.

Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies National Science Foundation (NSF); The intention of this program is to advance technologies that specifically focus on the experiences of learners; innovations that simply focus on making teaching easier will not be funded. Proposals that focus on teachers or facilitators as learners are invited; the aim in these proposals should be to help teachers and facilitators learn to make the learning experiences of learners more effective. Proposals are due December 7, 2015. For more information, visit NSF.gov Social Psychology Program National Science Foundation (NSF); Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE); The program supports basic research on human social behavior, including cultural differences, and development over the life span. Among the many research topics supported are attitude formation and change, socialcognition, personality processes, interpersonal relations and group processes, the self, emotion, social comparison and social influence, and the psychophysiological and neurophysiological bases of social behavior. Proposals are due January 15, 2016. For more information, visit NSF.gov Research Grants American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP); The program supports research on suicide and suicide prevention from a variety of disciplines: psychiatry, medicine, psychology, genetics, epidemiology, neurobiology, and others. Grants are awarded for one to two years under five programs: Young Investigator Grants ($85K); Standard Research Grants ($90K) & Linked Standard Research Grants ($225K); Distinguished Investigator Grants ($100K); Postdoctoral Research Fellowships ($104K); and Pilot Grants ($30K). Proposals are due annually on November 15. For more information, visit aascu.org Pragmatic Research in Healthcare Settings to Improve Diabetes National Institute of Health (NIH); The purpose of this Research Demonstration and Dissemination Projects (R18) is to encourage research applications to test approaches to improve diabetes and obesity prevention and/or treatment in routine healthcare settings. Research applications should be designed to test practical and potentially sustainable strategies to improve processes of care and health outcomes for individuals who are overweight or obese or at risk for becoming overweight or obese and/or at risk for or have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Proposals are due November 2, 2015.
