Internal (USF) Letter of Intent
Deadlines for March 2005

Internal Due Date # of Submissions
Allowed
  Title
March 4, 2005 Limited applications accepted. In any one competition, an institution may submit only one proposal, either for Track 1 or Track 2. This program supports fellowships and associated training that enable graduate students in National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to acquire additional skills that will broadly prepare them for professional and scientific careers in the twenty-first century.

NSF Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12)

 

NSF 05-553 replaces NSF 04-533

Agency Deadline:
May 4, 2005

 

March 11, 2005 Limited applications accepted. An institution may be involved as a partner in more than one Bridges program, but can be the applicant institution for only one program. Institutions submitting their own applications may participate in programs with other applicant institutions as long as these interactions are consistent with the institutions' resources and plans. The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) and the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, National Institutes of Health (NIH), reannounce opportunities to apply for funding for the Bridges to the Future Program. The mission of the Bridges to the Future Program, established in 1992, is to make available to the biomedical science research enterprise and to the nation the intellectual talents of an increasing number of underrepresented minority students. Bridges to the Future accomplishes this mission by supporting programs that facilitate the transition of students from associate- to baccalaureate-degree granting institutions and from master's- to doctoral-degree granting institutions. Bridges to the Future promotes effective inter-institutional partnerships to improve the quality and quantity of underrepresented minority students being trained as the next generation of scientists.

March 11, 2005 Limited applications accepted. Applicants may submit one Phase I inquiry per twelve-month period to each of the program areas.
The W. M. Keck Foundation's Medical Research grant program focuses on basic biomedical research in the areas of neuroscience, immunology, molecular genetics, and structural biology. It does not provide support for clinical trials or training. Support for research in hospitals is not currently a focus of the foundation.

March 11, 2005 Limited applications accepted. Applicants may submit one Phase I inquiry per twelve-month period to each of the program areas.
The W. M. Keck Foundation seeks to enrich research and teaching through support for equipment, facilities, faculty, and curriculum development at the frontiers of science and engineering. Recognizing the importance of undergraduate instruction, the foundation also supports excellent undergraduate college science and engineering programs, and encourages multidisciplinary projects and multi-college cooperative science ventures. The focus of the undergraduate program is primarily on private, predominately undergraduate institutions.

Awards are also made each year to support exceptional undergraduate projects in all of the liberal arts. Past grants have focused on faculty-student research and incorporating new instructional technologies into the liberal arts curriculum.

Although not required, prospective applicants are asked to submit a letter of intent by April 26, 2005.

Research in musculoskeletal disorders is at a stage where a number of areas are making broad advances that can be effectively fostered by research core centers.centers. Examples of these areas include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Regulation of skeletal growth and remodeling by systemic and local factors; diagnostic markers of skeletal remodeling; and genetic basis of skeletal morphogenesis, growth, and disease

2. Mechanisms of bone repair and regeneration, including fracture healing; development of techniques for growth plate repair; reconstitution of large defects; and limb lengthening, including use of autografts and allografts, tissue engineering and distraction osteogenesis

3. Mechanisms of cartilage repair and regeneration, including chondroprogenitor cell biology, genetics, and biomechanical signaling; and development of techniques for chondroprotection and repair of the articular surface, including gene therapy approaches and tissue engineering.

The investigators make the choice of research area upon which the Core Centers for Musculoskeletal Disorders (CCMD) would focus.
