| Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP)
NSF 09-611
Deadline Date: 01/26/2010 This program is a continuation of the Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) that began in FY 1998 as part of the National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI). The goal of the NPGI is to develop a basic knowledge of the structures and functions of plant genomes and translate this knowledge to a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of economically important plants and plant processes of potential economic value. Funding: Various Sposor: National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Biological Sciences |
| Recovery Act - Seismic Upgrades
09HQPA0021 Deadline Date: 07/08/2010 The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will support the replacement of outdated equipment used to monitor and report on earthquake activity in the U.S. and will improve the data centers and processing capabilities that generate earthquake information products and manage seismic data. These upgrades will further the development of the Advanced National Seismic System. Systems to be upgraded will include existing urban, regional and national seismic networks. Support for objectives to be completed by the resulting assistance awards will utilize funds provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. |
| NIOSH Small Research Grant Program (R03) Deadline Date: 09/08/2012 The purpose of this grants program is to develop an understanding of the risks and conditions that are associated with occupational diseases and injuries, to explore methods for reducing risks and for preventing or minimizing exposure to hazardous conditions in the workplace, and to translate significant scientific findings into prevention practices and products that will effectively reduce work-related illnesses and injuries. Funding: $50,000 Sponsor: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention |
| Recovery Act Funds - Environmental Internships
ARRA-FWS-09-010 Deadline Date: 09/30/2010 The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is an environmental Federal Agency with offices throughout the United States. Through on-site activities located at a variety of field stations, including wildlife refuges, fish hatcheries, and ecological services offices, individuals or groups will be introduced to natural resource careers through "hands-on" work with, and training by, natural resource professionals employed by the USFWS. The goal is to help develop a new generation of enthused and effective conservationists and ecologists. Funding: 500,000 (award ceiling) Sponsor: United States Department of the Interior (DOI) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) |
| DOE Office of Science Graduate Fellowship Program (ARRA, Recovery Act) Deadline Date: 11/30/2009 The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) has established the DOE Office of Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE SCGF) program to provide support for outstanding students to pursue graduate training in basic research in areas of physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, computational sciences, and environmental sciences relevant to the Office of Science and to encourage the development of the next generation scientific and technical talent in the U.S.. Fellowships awarded in the first year of the DOE SCGF program will be funded in part by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. |
| Recovery Act - Workforce Training for the Electric Power Sector
DE-FOA-0000152 Deadline Date: 11/30/2009 This FOA supports the development and deployment of Training Program(s), as well as teh actural training of personnel. However, federal funds shall not be used to support construction of training facilities (e.g., building infrastructure). DOE seeks applications that will support and greatly expand job creation and career advancement opportunities within the utility industry and the electric power system equipment manufacturing sector. Job categories include technicians and skilled workers, as well as utility energy efficiency program staff, cyber security experts, transmission planners, and system operators. |
| CHE-DMR-DMS Solar Energy Initiative (SOLAR)
NSF 09-604
Deadline Date: 12/08/2009 The purpose of the CHE-DMR-DMS Solar Energy Initiative is to support interdisciplinary efforts by groups of researchers to address the scientific challenges of highly efficient harvesting, conversion, and storage of solar energy. Funding: 500,000 per year (for up to three years) Sponsor: National Science Foundation |

| ERDC BAA - Manatee Protection Systems (EL-23-1) (ARRA, Recovery Act)
W912HZ09BAA07 Deadline Date: 12/31/2009 The ERDC is seeking proposals under their current Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) that will be awarded as a result of funding under The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The focus of research should be new ways to improve manatee protection and system reliability. 1. Improved physical or electronic systems for culverts a. Maintenance and operational readiness obtainable without the dewatering of the culvert. b. Repairs and upgrades cost and time efficient. 2. Advanced methods of monitoring local manatee movement as well as automated critical proximity alerts. 3. Safe and cost effective methods for manatee movement relocation. 4. Update and repair current systems. 5. Constant remote system status monitoring equipped with automated system failure alerts. |
