      <title>Science of Science and Innovation Policy</title>
      <link>http://grantpedia.com/grant.cfm?FundingOppTitle=Science%20of%20Science%20and%20Innovation%20Policy&amp;FundingOppNumber=PD-09-7626</link>
      <description>The Science of Science &amp;amp; Innovation Policy (SciSIP) program supports research designed to advance the scientific basis of science and innovation policy. Research funded by the program thus develops, improves and expands models, analytical tools, data and metrics that can be applied in the science policy decision making process. For example, research proposals may develop behavioral and analytical conceptualizations, frameworks or models that have applications across a broad array of SciSIP challenges, including the relationship between broader participation and innovation or creativity.  Proposals may also develop methodologies to analyze science and technology data, and to convey the information to a variety of audiences. Researchers are also encouraged to create or improve science and engineering data, metrics and indicators reflecting current discovery, particularly proposals that demonstrate the viability of collecting and analyzing data on knowledge generation and innovation in organizations. Among the many research topics supported are:examinations of the ways in which the contexts, structures and processes of science and engineering research are affected by policy decision, the evaluation of the tangible and intangible returns from investments in science and from investments in research and development, the study of structures and processes that facilitate the development of usable knowledge, theories of creative processes and their transformation into social and economic outcomes,  the collection, analysis and visualization of new data describing the scientific and engineering enterprise. The SciSIP program invites the participation of researchers from all of the social, behavioral and economic sciences as well as those working in domain-specific applications such as chemistry, biology, physics, or nanotechnology. The program welcomes proposals for individual or multi-investigator research projects, doctoral dissertation improvement awards, conferences, workshops, symposia, experimental research, data collection and dissemination, computer equipment and other instrumentation, and research experience for undergraduates. The program places a high priority on interdisciplinary research as well as international collaboration. Investigators are encouraged to submit proposals of joint interest to the SciSIP Program and other NSF programs and NSF initiative areas. The program places a high priority on broadening participation and encourages proposals from junior faculty, women, other underrepresented minorities, Research Undergraduate Institutions, and EPSCoR states. The program also supports small grants that are time-critical and small grants that are high-risk and of a potentially transformative nature (see Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER).)For program specific guidelines on the Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants in SciSIP, please visit: Doctoral Preparation Checklist.  The Division of Science Resources Statistics (SRS) will provide special support for Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants that utilize SRS datasets.</description>

      <description>Ladies/Gentlemen:

USAID seeks to expand its use of more strategic alliances with the private and non-governmental sectors in order to further increase sustainable development impact and foster increased private sector-led growth in the developing world.  We seek to increase the overall strategic value of our alliances for fostering sustainable development in the developing world.

The USAID/Malawi mission invites interest from prospective local and international partner organizations to form Global Development Alliances to carry out activities in support of USAID/Malawi?s development objectives. Alliance partners are expected to bring significant new resources, ideas, technologies, and/or partners to address development problems that USAID/Malawi is currently working to address.  Successful applications will bring at least a 1:1 resource leveraging to priority development activities within USAID/Malawi?s strategic focus areas.

USAID/Malawi has cultivated more than 22 public-private alliances over the last 8 years with a combined public-private resource value of $140 million.  Through our Global Development Alliances, USAID/Malawi can facilitate access to broader financing options, assist in skill and knowledge development, and apply its extensive knowledge in Malawi to help strengthen and complement private development resources. This solicitation is encouraging and creating the competitive environment for new alliances to be created in FY10.</description>

      <description>The Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) is the National Institute of Food and Agriculture?s (NIFA) flagship competitive grant program and was established under section 7406 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill). AFRI supports work in six priority areas: plant health and production and plant products; animal health and production and animal products; food safety, nutrition, and health; renewable energy, natural resources, and environment; agriculture systems and technology; and agriculture economics and rural communities. In FY 2010, AFRI is soliciting applications through seven Requests for Applications (RFA). One RFA calls for research projects addressing the above six priority areas. Additional RFAs further address AFRI priority areas in five societal challenge areas. The five challenge area RFAs are: Childhood Obesity Prevention; Climate Change; Food Safety; Global Food Security; and Sustainable Bioenergy. These RFAs will support research, education, and extension to achieve significant, measurable outcomes. NIFA will also release a single, separate NIFA Fellowships Grant Program RFA to fund pre- and postdoctoral fellowship grants in April 2010. This RFA addresses Sustainable Bioenergy.</description>

      <description>The Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) is the National Institute of Food and Agriculture?s (NIFA) flagship competitive grant program and was established under section 7406 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill). AFRI supports work in six priority areas: plant health and production and plant products; animal health and production and animal products; food safety, nutrition, and health; renewable energy, natural resources, and environment; agriculture systems and technology; and agriculture economics and rural communities. In FY 2010, AFRI is soliciting applications through seven Requests for Applications (RFA). One RFA calls for research projects addressing the above six priority areas. Additional RFAs further address AFRI priority areas in five societal challenge areas. The five challenge area RFAs are: Childhood Obesity Prevention; Climate Change; Food Safety; Global Food Security; and Sustainable Bioenergy. These RFAs will support research, education, and extension to achieve significant, measurable outcomes. NIFA will also release a single, separate NIFA Fellowships Grant Program RFA to fund pre- and postdoctoral fellowship grants in April 2010. This RFA addresses Sustainable Bioenergy.</description>

      <title>Developing Global Scientists and Engineers (International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) and Doctoral Dissertation Enhancement Projects (DDEP))</title>
      <link>http://grantpedia.com/grant.cfm?FundingOppTitle=Developing%20Global%20Scientists%20and%20Engineers&amp;FundingOppNumber=04-036</link>
      <description>The United States needs to educate a globally-engaged science and engineering workforce capable of performing in an international research environment in order to remain at the forefront of world science and technology.  To support this aim, the Developing Global Scientists and Engineers program provides highest quality international research experiences for U.S. students.  Whereas the International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) component of the program supports groups of U.S. undergraduate or graduate students conducting research abroad in collaboration with foreign investigators, the Doctoral Dissertation Enhancement Projects (DDEP) component supports the dissertation research abroad of one doctoral student in collaboration with a foreign investigator.In addition to the activities described in this solicitation, the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) supports other targeted international research and education experiences for early-career scientists and engineers via the Research Experience for Undergraduates program, the East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes for U.S. Graduate Students, the Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (for advanced graduate students and post-doctoral fellows), and the International Research Fellowship Program (for post-doctoral fellows or new faculty). More information is provided below in Section IX. Other Programs of Interest.</description>

      <title>Documenting Endangered Languages:</title>
      <link>http://grantpedia.com/grant.cfm?FundingOppTitle=Documenting%20Endangered%20Languages%3A&amp;FundingOppNumber=06-577</link>
      <description>This multi-year funding partnership between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) supports projects to develop and advance knowledge concerning endangered human languages. Made urgent by the imminent death of an estimated half of the 6000-7000 currently used human languages, this effort aims also to exploit advances in information technology. Funding will support fieldwork and other activities relevant to recording, documenting, and archiving endangered languages, including the preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases. Funding will be available in the form of one- to three-year project grants as well as fellowships for up to twelve months. At least half the available funding will be awarded to projects involving fieldwork.The Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) will participate in the partnership as a research host, a non-funding role.</description>
