Title: Collaborations with National Centers for Biomedical Computing (R01)

Brief Description: -Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is for projects from individual-investigators or small groups to collaborate with the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBCs). For a description of the NCBCs see http://www.bisti.nih.gov/ncbc/. The intention of the collaborating projects is to engage researchers across the nation in building an excellent biomedical computing environment, using the computational tools and biological and behavioral application drivers of the funded NCBCs as foundation stones. -Mechanism of Support. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the R01 grant mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PAR-08-183 that solicits applications under the R21 mechanism, and which solicits innovative, high risk/high impact new areas that are lacking preliminary data or development. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.

Title: Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC)

Brief Description: The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's (SERC) Internship Program offers undergraduate and beginning graduate students a unique opportunity to gain exposure and experience in a research environment. The program enables students to work on specific projects under the direction of the Center's professional staff and is tailored to provide the maximum educational benefit to each participant.

Students applying to the program have the option of selecting an internship project from the following categories: Global Change, Landscape Ecology, Ecology of Coastal Ecosystems, Population and Community Ecology, Environmental Engineering, and Environmental and Ecology Education. Students will become familiar with much of the research being conducted at SERC, but they will devote most of their time to a project and content area of particular interest to them. In addition to their research, students participate in field trips, seminars, lectures, and an intern open house. All participants are expected to integrate what they have learned during their experience and present a brief seminar at the end of their stay.

Proposed Funding: Term: 10 to 16 weeks, Stipend: $400/wk

Agency Deadlines: February 1st for Summer positions (May to August), November 15th for Spring positions (January to April), June 1st for Fall positions (September to December)
