The objective of the NATO Science Fellowships program is to prepare for
the long-term future by training young researchers. Science fellowships
provide opportunities for scientists of NATO's Partner countries to pursue
their research work or continue their training in a NATO country, and vice-versa.
Basic Fellowships for those who have a first university degree, Advanced
Fellowships for scientists with a PhD, and Senior Fellowships for senior
scientists to lecture or pursue research in institutions abroad are supported.

The PAESMEM Program seeks to identify outstanding mentoring efforts that
enhance the participation of groups (i.e., women, minorities, and persons
with disabilities) that are underrepresented in the sciences, mathematics,
and engineering. Individual Nominees must have demonstrated outstanding
and sustained mentoring and effective guidance to a significant number
of students at the K-12, undergraduate, or graduate education levels. Institutional
Nominees must be institutions with program activities that have enabled
a substantial number of students drawn from populations underrepresented
in science, mathematics, and engineering (i.e., women, minorities, and
persons with disabilities) to successfully pursue and complete the relevant
degree programs. Only one application per single institution or for an
individual at that institution is allowed. Please contact Jim Guikema,
Associate Dean, 532-6191, guikema@ksu.edu, by March 23 if you are interested
in making a nomination.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) seeks applications
to support research to identify and characterize the role of alcohol in
the etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, treatment and control of HIV/AIDS.
As understanding of the pandemic process, and as HIV/AIDS research becomes
more focused, it is apparent that the cofactor alcohol consumption is likely
to play an important role in sexual transmission, susceptibility to infection,
and progression of HIV disease. The purpose of this Request for Application
(RFA) is to encourage multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary studies that
focus on a range of population, etiological, and intervention issues within
HIV and alcohol. AA-01-004

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Research and
Development solicits grant applications for establishing ecological classification
schemes and reference conditions to support development of biological criteria
for aquatic ecosystem health in one or more of the following resources:

The Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program promotes improvement
in technological education at the undergraduate and secondary school levels
by supporting curriculum development; the preparation and professional
development of college faculty and secondary school teachers; internships
and field experiences for faculty, teachers, and students; and other activities.
With an emphasis on two-year colleges, the program focuses on the education
of technicians for the high-technology fields that drive our nation's economy.
The program also promotes articulation between programs at two-year colleges
and four-year colleges and universities--in particular, articulation between
two-year and four-year programs for prospective teachers and between two-year
and four-year programs in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology
(with a focus on disciplines that have a strong technological foundation).

The Environmental Protection Agency is inviting applications for projects
that promote pollution prevention approaches in communities disproportionately
affected by environmental problems. This year's project categories are:
helping small businesses and institutions prevent pollution in communities;
fostering partnerships between industrial facilities and communities; demonstrating
agricultural pollution prevention; and improving tribal environments.

This program provides awards to enhance the quality of science, mathematics,
engineering and technology (SMET) instructional and outreach programs,
with an emphasis on the leveraged use of information technologies at Tribal
Colleges and Universities, Alaskan Native-serving Institutions and Native
Hawaiian-serving institutions. Support is available for the implementation
of comprehensive institutional approaches to strengthen SMET teaching and
learning in ways that improve access to, retention within and graduation
from SMET programs, particularly those that have a strong technological
foundation. NSF 01-61

The National Cancer Institute and NASA have announced a new solicitation
for proposals called Fundamental Technologies for the Development of Biomolecular
Sensors. NCI/NASA are specifically soliciting projects to develop the fundamental
elements of technology systems or system components that will measure,
analyze, and manipulate molecular processes at appropriate scale in the
living body. The discoveries from this program are intended to enable the
development of complete systems for the in vivo sensing of signatures of
pathologic cell types or closely associated microenvironmental factors
that provide a seamless interface between sensing/detection and delivery
of signature-specific intervention.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) invites applications for Cutting-Edge
Basic Research Awards (CEBRA) to foster highly innovative or conceptually
creative research that advances our understanding of drug abuse and addiction
and how to prevent and treat them. The CEBRA is a new mechanism designed
by NIDA to foster novel research approaches and represents the high priority
placed by NIDA on identifying such research. The CEBRA is specifically
designed to support research that is high-risk and potentially high-impact
and that is underrepresented or not included in NIDA's current portfolio.
It is aimed at experienced drug abuse research investigators who wish to
develop or adapt new methods or techniques and at new investigators or
scientists with expertise in fields other than drug abuse who wish to establish
new programs in drug abuse research. PAR-01-047

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute
of Nursing Research (NINR) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
invite research grant applications that target research on the translation
and adoption of empirically tested and proven HIV research-based prevention
interventions into community-based public health settings. Areas of research
include: studies of implementation approaches and organizational and environmental
characteristics that impede or foster implementation; cost effectiveness
of efficacious strategies; identification of characteristics of community
organizations most prepared to implement research-based interventions;
and studies of the impact of efficacious interventions in community settings.
Multidisciplinary teams and collaborative alliances are strongly encouraged.
