| NIGMS' Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) Description: The goal of the Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) is to encourage individuals from underrepresented groups who have recently obtained their baccalaureate degrees to complete for Ph.D. degree programs in biomedically relevant sciences through extensive academic enhancements and research experience. Restrictions: Internal coordination required. Applicants may not submit, or have pending, more than one PREP grant application. Eligible institutions may hold only one PREP award. Internal Deadline: 11/23/2009 Agency Deadline: 1/22/2010 [ Email to a Colleague ] |
| Engineered Nanomaterials: Linking Physical and Chemical Properties to Biology (U19) Description: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences invites applications that will (1) determine which physical or chemical characteristic of an engineered nanomaterial (ENM), or cluster of characteristics, is integral to ENM-molecular interactions in a cellular process or organ system and (2) relate these findings to potential health effects. NIEHS recognizes that three types of activities need to converge to accomplish this research agenda. The first activity should focus on a detailed understanding of how physical and chemical characteristics of ENMs influence their molecular interactions at the cellular level, while the second activity should determine how the physical and chemical characteristics critical to that interaction are associated with any observed physiological or pathobiological events. The third activity will capitalize on these multidisciplinary efforts through integration of biochemical, molecular, and physiological mechanisms to expand traditional hazard identification and health risk assessment. An extraordinary level of synergy, integration, and potential for advancement of ENM hazard identification and risk assessment is expected. Restrictions: Internal coordination required. Applicants may submit only one application. Internal Deadline: 11/23/2009 Agency Deadline: 1/22/2010 [ Email to a Colleague ] |

| Fundamental Research Supplement Opportunity for I/UCRCs - NSF 08-068 Description: NSF invites supplemental requests for fundamental research in NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC). This supplemental opportunity is intended to support fundamental research, an activity designed to broaden scientific and technical knowledge beyond the more applied research interests of the industries served by the I/UCRC. The Fundamental Research Supplement program intends to provide the opportunity for its centers to conduct fundamental research to better position themselves as leaders for emerging areas that could benefit the industries that they serve. Industry members are increasingly reluctant to invest in fundamental research as they are under pressure by investors and other stakeholders to maximize profits and their returns on investments. Supplements must discuss how the proposed research will benefit current industry members and attract new industry members. Restrictions: Internal coordination required. One supplemental funding request per center is allowed. Multi-university supplemental funding requests must be part of the same integrated research experimental plan of the center. The total budget for all site submissions from a center cannot exceed the maximum award. Internal Deadline: 12/4/2009 Agency Deadline: 2/3/2010 [ Email to a Colleague ] |
