Number: 09-534 Title: Broadening Participation in Computing Brief Description: The Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) program aims to significantly increase the number of U.S. citizens and permanent residents receiving post secondary degrees in the computing disciplines, with an emphasis on students from communities with longstanding underrepresentation in computing. Those underrepresented groups are women, persons with disabilities, African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. The BPC program seeks to engage the computing community to develop and implement innovative methods, frameworks, and strategies to improve recruitment and retention of these students through undergraduate and graduate degrees. Projects that target stages of the academic pipeline from middle school through the early faculty ranks are welcome. New with this solicitation is the emphasis on national impact: All BPC projects must have the potential for widespread impact. That is, they should either develop an effective practice that could be widely deployed or they should deploy existing effective practices so as to reach larger audiences. The BPC program will support three categories of awards: Alliances, Demonstration Projects, and Leveraging, Scaling, or Adapting Projects.Alliance and Alliance Extension Projects are broad coalitions of academic institutions of higher learning, secondary (and possibly middle) schools, government, industry, professional societies, and other not-for-profit organizations that design and carry out comprehensive programs addressing underrepresentation in the computing disciplines. They have a large regional or national scope. Typically, Alliances operate across multiple stages of the academic pipeline and address multiple targeted groups. Together, Alliance participants (1) develop and implement interventions that support students and early career faculty, (2) create sustainable changes in culture and practices at the institutional, departmental, and organizational levels, (3) serve as models and contribute to repositories for effective practices to broaden participation, and (4) leverage the work of existing BP efforts and other Alliances. Competitive projects will have significant impact both in the quality of opportunities afforded to participants and in the number of participants potentially served. Successful Alliances are eligible to compete for additional funding: an Alliance Extension increases the duration of the Alliance award as well as its scope, introducing additional targeted student groups, partners, and/or projects.Demonstration Projects (DPs) are more focused than Alliance projects. Typical DPs pilot innovative programs that, once fully developed, could be incorporated into the activities of an Alliance or otherwise scaled for widespread impact. Projects might, for example, be proposed by a single institution or might focus on a single underrepresented community, a single point in the academic pipeline, or a single impediment to full participation in computing.Leveraging, Scaling or Adapting (LSA) Projects are intended to extend the impact of our most effective practices through leveraging, scaling and/or adaptation. Typical LSA projects will use existing organizational structures and demonstrated best practices. They can leverage the work of BPC-funded Alliances or DPs, as well as efforts by other organizations. They might, for example, copy and adapt a successful regional Alliance infrastructure for a new region, combine and leverage the work of two or more Alliances, adapt an effective intervention for a different audience, or take an effective intervention and implement it across an Alliance or other organization with a broad reach.All BPC projects have significant assessment and evaluation efforts with both formative and summative components.

Number: W81XWH-09-BCRP-MTA Title: DoD Breast Cancer Multi-Team Award Brief Description: The BCRP Multi-Team Award mechanism is a new award for FY09. The Multi-Team Award supports the creation of a collaborative research project among three teams, each led by a Principal Investigator (PI) with a history of creativity and innovation, to focus on a critical area of breast cancer. The Multi-Team Award should create an environment that fosters and supports innovation and creativity, with consistent, intensive interaction across teams in a way that engages all members of the teams in all aspects of the research project. The multi-team approach is expected to transform the research process through the integration of basic and clinical disciplines, substantive cross-disciplinary training among the team members, and integral participation of consumer advocates. The requirements for this award are as follows: Research Question: Research proposed under the Multi-Team Award must focus on a question of significant importance to breast cancer that has been inadequately addressed, or for which there may be an absence of an established paradigm or technical framework. The research question should address overarching issues that have broad implications for the disease and risk management (e.g., risk factors, dormancy) and not focus merely on the study of specific pathways or genes. Clinical research or a clinical trial (Phase 0, I, I/II, or II) must be included as part of the proposed work. PIs and Teams: The Multi-Team Award PIs must include at least one basic scientist, one clinician, and one additional individual from an appropriate area of expertise (e.g., epidemiology). At least two different institutions must be involved. Each of the three PIs is expected to have a track record of innovation and creativity and be well qualified to lead his/her respective team in this intensive collaboration. The collaborating PIs should work together to develop the research plan, determine the management structure, and prepare the application. It should be clear that all PIs have an equal level of intellectual input into the proposed project.

Number: W81XWH-09-BCRP-IMPT Title: DoD Breast Cancer Impact Award Brief Description: The Impact Award supports unique research projects or ideas (from small- to large-scale) that specifically focus on scientific and clinical breast cancer issues, which, if successfully addressed, could ultimately revolutionize the understanding and/or treatment of breast cancer and move closer to the goal of eradicating the disease. The critical components of this award mechanism are as follows: Impact: The most important aspect of the Impact Award is the potential of the proposed research to have a radical, revolutionary impact on an area of paramount importance in breast cancer. The research project may be basic, translational, or clinical. The potential impact may be near-term or long-term, but it must be transformative. It is the responsibility of the applicant to clearly and explicitly articulate the potential impact on breast cancer, including how it would be transformative. Research Question: Research proposed under the Impact Award must address an underexplored issue of critical significance in breast cancer. The BCRP particularly encourages applications that focus on less explored or poorly understood areas that are of high importance in breast cancer, such as those related to prevention, susceptibility, protection, recurrence, and metastasis. The proposed work must be based on a sound overall research strategy and may be from any discipline or combination of disciplines (from all areas of basic, translational, clinical, behavioral, and epidemiological research). Applications submitted under the Impact Award mechanism should not meet the intent of the other award mechanisms offered by the BCRP in FY09. NEW for FY09: A preproposal is required as part of the pre-application; application submission is by invitation only.

Number: W81XWH-09-PCRP-SIDA Title: FY09 DOD Prostate Cancer Synergistic Idea Development Award Brief Description: The PCRP Synergistic Idea Development Award mechanism was introduced in FY07. Since then, 160 applications have been received and 14 (representing 30 individual awards) have been recommended for funding. The Synergistic Idea Development Award supports innovative approaches to prostate cancer research involving two or three independent, faculty-level (or equivalent) PIs. These investigators should use synergistic and complementary perspectives to address a central problem or question in prostate cancer research. This award is designed to encourage and support both new and pre-existing partnerships. The overall goal of this award is to accelerate advances in prostate cancer research to support the PCRP vision of conquering prostate cancer. The Synergistic Idea Development Award requires that investigators jointly design a single project. However, each partner will be recognized as a PI, submit a separate application, and receive an individual award. The research project must be supported by the unique expertise of each PI and must clearly define the synergistic components that will facilitate and accelerate progress in a way that could not be accomplished through independent efforts. Multidisciplinary projects are encouraged, and multi-institutional projects are allowed. Each proposed study must include clearly stated plans for interactions among all PIs and institutions involved. The plans must include ongoing communication, coordination of research progress and results, and data transfer. Additionally, multi-institutional applications must provide an intellectual property plan to resolve potential intellectual and material property issues and to remove institutional barriers that might interfere with achieving high levels of cooperation to ensure the successful completion of this award. The PCRP seeks applications from all areas of basic, preclinical, behavioral, and epidemiological research, which should be responsive to one or more of the FY09 PCRP focus areas. NEW FOR FY09: PIs wishing to apply for funding for population-based studies should consider submitting an application for the Population-Based Idea Development Award. NOTE: Clinical trials are not allowed under this mechanism. Refer to the Application Instructions and General Information, Appendix 6, for helpful information about distinguishing clinical trials and clinical research. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigators (PIs) to clearly and explicitly articulate how the project addresses the following important aspects of the Synergistic Idea Development Award: FY09 DOD Prostate Cancer Synergistic Idea Development Award 4 1. Synergy: Synergy is a significant feature of this mechanism. These awards should accelerate research progress through ongoing communication and problem solving that approach the research problem from a variety of perspectives. The combined efforts of the PIs should result in a level of productivity that is greater than that achievable by each PI working independently. It should be clear that all PIs have an equal level of intellectual input into the proposed project. Contributions to the project are expected to be balanced between all PIs unless otherwise justified.

Number: 09-528 Title: CISE Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education Brief
Description: Computing has permeated and transformed almost
all aspects of modern life. As computing becomes more important
in all sectors of society, so does the preparation of a globally
competitive U.S. workforce able to apply core computing concepts,
methods, technologies, and tools - referred to here as Computational
Thinking (CT) - to a broad range of societal challenges and opportunities.
CT capitalizes on concepts, methods, technologies, and tools fundamental
to the fields of computing, i.e. computer and information science
and engineering. For example, computing concepts and methods equip
us to reason at multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously, to
think algorithmically and apply foundational mathematical concepts
to solve complex problems, and to understand the dimensions and
consequences of scale. However, it is only when computing concepts
and methods are combined with the power of automation afforded by
contemporary computing technologies and tools that the full potential
of CT is unleashed. Drawing deeply on computational concepts, methods,
technologies and tools, CT serves as a powerful strategy to more
effectively design, understand and solve problems associated with
complex systems in many aspects of modern life. The CISE Pathways
to Revitalized Undergraduate Education in Computing (CPATH) program
recognizes the growing importance of CT in society. The goals of
the program are to:contribute to the development of a globally competitive
U.S. workforce with CT competencies essential to U.S. leadership
in the global innovation enterprise;increase the number of students
developing CT competencies by infusing CT learning opportunities
into undergraduate education in the core computing fields - computer
and information science and engineering, and in other fields of
study; and,demonstrate transformative CT-focused undergraduate education
models that are replicable across a variety of institutions.Through
the CPATH program, CISE challenges the academic community to identify
and define the core computing concepts, methods, technologies and
tools to be integrated into promising new undergraduate education
models, and to demonstrate effective strategies to develop and assess
CT competencies in the relevant learning communities. While aimed
primarily at revitalizing undergraduate education, CISE encourages
the exploration of new models that extend from institutions of higher
education into the K-12 environment; activities that engage K-12
teachers and students to facilitate the seamless transition of secondary
students into CT-focused undergraduate programs are particularly
encouraged. Successful CPATH proposals will include administrators,
researchers, educators and students in institutions of higher education.
Further, the engagement of stakeholders in other types of organizations
including, but not limited to, K-12 schools and school districts,
industry, and professional societies is also encouraged. Every CPATH
proposal must demonstrate the engagement of faculty with expertise
in the core computer and information science and engineering (CISE)
disciplines. The CPATH program seeks proposals in two size classes:
Class I projects with project budgets totaling no more than $300,000
for 1-, 2- or 3-year durations; and, Class II projects with project
budgets totaling no more than $800,000 each for 2- or 3-year durations.

Number: 09-502 Title: Major Research Instrumentation Program Brief
Description: The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI)
serves to increase access to shared scientific and engineering instruments
for research and research training in our Nation's institutions
of higher education, museums and science centers, and non-profit
organizations. This program especially seeks to improve the quality
and expand the scope of research and research training in science
and engineering, by providing shared instrumentation that fosters
the integration of research and education in research-intensive
learning environments. Development and acquisition of research instrumentation
for shared inter- and/or intra-organization use is encouraged, as
are development efforts that leverage the strengths of private sector
partners as appropriate for the goals of the MRI Program. To accomplish
these goals, the MRI program assists with the acquisition or development
of shared research instrumentation that is, in general, too costly
and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. For
the purposes of the MRI Program, proposals must be for either acquisition
or development. Instruments are expected to be operational for regular
research use by the end of the award period. A key recommendation
of a 2006 National Academies report on “Advanced Research
Instrumentation and Facilities” (ARIF) was that the NSF
should expand the MRI program so that it includes “mid-scale”
instrumentation whose capital costs are greater than $2 million,
but with costs that are not appropriate for NSF’s Major
Research Equipment and Facilities Construction account. The MRI
program now accepts proposals requesting over $2 million in NSF
support (to the maximum request of $4 million) for the acquisition
of a single instrument. For proposals requesting $2 million or less,
investigators may seek support for instrument development or for
acquisition of a single instrument, a large system of instruments,
or multiple instruments that share a common or specific research
focus. Proposed Funding: $115,000,000 Estimated Number of Awards: 235 Agency

Number: 06-559 Title: Computational Science Training for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS) Brief Description: The goal of Computational Science Training for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS) is to enhance computational aspects of the education and training of undergraduate students in the mathematical sciences -- mathematics and statistics -- and to better prepare these students to pursue careers and graduate study in fields that require integrated strengths in computation and the mathematical sciences. The core of the activity is long-term research experiences for cohorts of at least six undergraduates. Projects must focus on research topics that require interplay between computation and mathematics or statistics. They should expose students to contemporary mathematics, statistics, and computation, addressed with modern research tools and methods. That is, projects must be genuine research experiences rather than rehearsals of research methods. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged, and appropriate mentorship from the disciplines involved is welcomed. In addition, we expect that projects will strengthen the research and education capacity, infrastructure, and culture of the participating institutions. To this end, we welcome projects that create models for education in the mathematical sciences and influence the direction of academic programs for a broad range of students. CSUMS is a joint effort of the Education and Human Resources (EHR) and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) directorates at the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Developmental and Learning Sciences Brief
Description: DLS supports fundamental research that increases
our understanding of cognitive, linguistic, social, cultural, and
biological processes related to children's and adolescents' development
and learning. Research supported by this program will add to our
basic knowledge of how people learn and the underlying developmental
processes that support learning, with the objective of leading to
better educated children and adolescents who grow up to take productive
roles as workers and as citizens. Among the many research topics
supported by DLS are: developmental cognitive neuroscience; development
of higher-order cognitive processes; transfer of knowledge from
one domain or situation to another; use of molecular genetics to
study continuities and discontinuities in development; development
of peer relations and family interactions; multiple influences on
development, including the impact of family, school, community,
social institutions, and the media; adolescents’ preparation
for entry into the workforce; cross-cultural research on development
and learning; and the role of cultural influences and demographic
characteristics on development. Additional priorities include research
that: incorporates multidisciplinary, multi-method, microgenetic,
and longitudinal approaches; develops new methods, models, and theories
for studying learning and development; and integrates different
processes (e.g., learning, memory, emotion), levels of analysis
(e.g., behavioral, social, neural), and time scales (e.g. infancy,
middle childhood, adolescence). This program supports Integrative
Research Activities for Developmental Science (IRADS). The program

Description: New and innovative advances are needed in every
area of pain research, from the micro perspective of molecular sciences
to the macro perspective of behavioral/social sciences. Although
great strides have been made in some areas, such as the neural pathways
of pain, pain and the challenge of its treatment have remained uniquely
individual and largely unsolved. Proposals that seek to improve
the understanding of the causes, costs, and societal effects of
both acute and chronic pain and the relationships between the two
are highly encouraged. Additionally, proposals that link such understandings
to the development of better approaches to therapeutic interventions,
including complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) interventions,
and management of acute and chronic pain are in keeping with the
current translational focus of NIH and are encouraged. Proposed

Description: The GOALI program aims to synergize university-industry
partnerships by making funds available to support an eclectic mix
of industry-university linkages. Special interest is focused on
affording the opportunity for: (1) faculty, postdoctoral fellows
and students to conduct research and gain experience with production
processes in an industrial setting, (2) industrial scientists and
engineers to bring industry's perspective and integrative skills
to academe, and (3) interdisciplinary university-industry teams
to conduct long-term projects. This initiative targets high-risk/high-gain
research with a focus on fundamental topics that would not have
been undertaken by industry, new approaches to solving generic problems,
development of innovative collaborative industry-university educational
programs, and direct transfer of new knowledge between academe and
industry. To meet this objective, the GOALI program provides funding,
for example, for faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students to
develop creative modes of collaborative interactions with industry
through individual or small-group projects, and industry-based fellowships
for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. Agency Deadline: Proposals accepted anytime Cost Sharing or Matching Requirement: No Website Address: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=501016 Solicitation

College of Sciences and the College of Engineering Brief Description: The goal of Computational Science Training for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS) is to enhance computational aspects of the education and training of undergraduate students in the mathematical sciences -- mathematics and statistics -- and to better prepare these students to pursue careers and graduate study in fields that require integrated strengths in computation and the mathematical sciences. The core of the activity is long-term research experiences for cohorts of at least six undergraduates. Projects must focus on research topics that require interplay between computation and mathematics or statistics. They should expose students to contemporary mathematics, statistics, and computation, addressed with modern research tools and methods. That is, projects must be genuine research experiences rather than rehearsals of research methods. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged, and appropriate mentorship from the disciplines involved is welcomed. In addition, we expect that projects will strengthen the research and education capacity, infrastructure, and culture of the participating institutions.

Number: Brief Description: The sponsor supports organizations that address human needs in disadvantaged communities, with strong emphasis on organizations that include service, advocacy and empowerment in their approach, with particular interest in efforts that combine two or all three of these elements. The sponsor provides both general support and project-specific grants. Although most grants cover a period of one year, the sponsor accepts requests for funding renewals and also makes multi-year grants. Proposed Funding: The sponsor's average grant is $45,163. All requests should be relative to the budget and needs of the organization applying; however, it would be unusual for the sponsor to make a very large (over $50,000) grant to an organization it has not worked with before. It is also unlikely that a first-time grant would exceed half of the proposed budget.
