Internal (USF) Letter of Intent
Deadlines for December 2004

Internal Due Date # of Submissions
Allowed
  Title
December 3, 2004

Submission of a preliminary preposal is required and due by February 4, 2005. Full proposals are due by August 25, 2005, by invitation only.

Limited applications accepted. There is no limit to the number of preapplications that an institution may send; however, an institution may submit no more than two single-institution full proposals and, as lead institution with other participating U.S. academic institutions, one multi-institution full proposal. There is no limit on the number of multi-institution full proposals on which an institution may participate as non-lead institution.

The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program has been developed to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers who will pursue careers in research and education, with the interdisciplinary backgrounds, deep knowledge in chosen disciplines, and technical, professional, and personal skills to become, in their own careers, leaders and creative agents for change. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education, for students, faculty, and institutions, by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. It is also intended to facilitate diversity in student participation and preparation, and to contribute to the development of a diverse, globally engaged, science and engineering workforce.

December 3, 2004 A letter of intent is required for the NISE program and due by February 6, 2005. Full proposals are due April 6, 2005, for both the NISE and NUE programs.

Limited applications accepted. For NISE, an eligible organization may participate in only one proposal, as either a lead and or as a partner organization. For NUE, only one proposal may be submitted by any institution as the lead institution with the following exception: an institution may submit a second proposal as the lead institution, if it is focused on the societal, ethical, economic, or environmental implications of nanoscale science and technology; two proposals focused on these areas are not allowed.

This solicitation continues a comprehensive effort on the part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to enhance formal and informal education in nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. Its goals are to develop strong partnerships linking science educators with nanoscale science and engineering researchers, and to increase knowledge of advances in nanoscale research and technology and their impact on society.

December 10, 2004 Limited applications accepted. Every year, the foundation's Fellowship Advisory Panel invites the presidents of 50 universities to nominate two young professors from each of their institutions. The foundation established the Fellowships for Science and Engineering to allow the nation's most promising young professors to pursue their science and engineering research with few funding restrictions and limited paperwork requirements. Disciplines that will be considered include physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, astronomy, computer science, earth science, ocean science, and all branches of engineering. Candidates engaged in research in the social sciences will not be considered.

December 24, 2004

Limited applications accepted. Only one RDE proposal may be submitted by a RAD lead institution or by a DEI, FRI, or RAD principal investigator or co-principal investigator to each year's competition. An institution or organization may be included in only one RDE proposal, either as a lead institution or as a partner organization, but not both.

A preliminary proposal is required for the Regional Alliances for Persons with Disabilities (RDE-RAD) track only, and due by February 28, 2005.

Full proposals are due by April 18, 2005, for all program tracks.

The Research in Disabilities Education (RDE) program supports efforts to increase the participation and achievement of persons with disabilities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and careers. Meritorious projects from a diversity of institutions are supported via the RDE Demonstration, Enrichment, and Information Dissemination (RDE-DEI) program track. Promising research efforts are also developed further via awards under the Focused-Research Initiatives (RDE-FRI) program track. In the third program track, broadly applicable methods and products are disseminated for widespread use, commercialization, or inclusion in the activities of program-sponsored Regional Alliances for persons with disabilities in STEM education (RDE-RAD). RDE Alliances serve to inform the public, government, and industry about proven-good practices in the classroom, promote broader awareness of disabilities issues, and define specific areas of accessibility and human learning in need of further attention by educators and the research community.
