GENERAL
-
The IGERT program was developed to meet the challenges of educating Ph.D.
scientists and engineers with the multidisciplinary backgrounds and the
technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands
of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in
graduate education, for students, faculty, and universities, by establishing
new, innovative models for graduate education and training in a fertile
environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary
boundaries. It is also intended to facilitate greater diversity in student
participation and preparation. Invitation to submit a full proposal is
based on merit review of the preproposal. An institution may submit no
more than two single-institution full proposals and, as lead institution,
one multi-institution full proposal. Please contact Jim Guikema, Associate
Dean, 532-6191, e-mail guikema@ksu.edu, by May 1, 2001 if you are contemplating
submitting a preproposal. NSF 00-78

The National Science Foundation is announcing a grants competition in the
areas of children's research. The purpose of this solicitation is to inform
the research community that support for developmental science will now
receive added emphasis at the National Science Foundation via funding through
the Children's Research Initiative (CRI) to support research centers and
collaborations. This solicitation will also enable scientists to form research
partnerships through planning or incubation grants, workshops, and small
conferences in the areas of human sciences. NSF will also support individual
investigator projects under this solicitation. NSF 01-85

The National Institutes of Health invite applications in response to the
Research on Child Neglect Program that will enhance our understanding of
the etiology, extent, services, treatment, management, and prevention of
child neglect. While increasing attention is being paid to the issue of
child abuse, little systematic research has yet addresses the equally significant
problem of child neglect. Child neglect is a serious public health, justice,
social services, and education problem, not only compromising the immediate
health of our nation's children, but also threatening their growth and
intellectual development, their long-term physical and mental health outcomes,
their propensity for pro-social behavior, their future parenting practices,
and their economic productivity as eventual wage earners. PA-01-060

Deadline: 6/1/01, 10/1/01, 2/1/02
EDUCATION
-
The Assessment of Student Achievement in Undergraduate Education program
supports the development and dissemination of assessment practices, materials
(tools), and measures to guide efforts that improve the effectiveness of
course, curricula, programs of study, and academic institutions in promoting
student learning in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. NSF
has identified four broad areas of focus: 1) Developing and adapting assessment
material that can be used to improve the design and conduct of courses
and curricula to achieve explicit learning objectives; 2) Developing tools,
procedures and measures for assessing student learning or achievement resulting
from a group of courses constituting a minor or major field of study; 3)
Assessing the effectiveness of efforts to improve the undergraduate learning
environment; 4) Developing indicators of student learning within certain
domains, and measures of institutional program quality. NSF 01-82

NSF and EPA are providing funds for fundamental and applied research in
the physical sciences and engineering that will lead to environmentally
benign methods for industrial processing and manufacturing. The competition
addresses technological environmental issues of design, synthesis, processing,
and the production, use, and ultimate disposition of products in continuous
and discrete manufacturing industries. Appropriate research areas are:
Chemistry and Chemical Reaction-based Engineering for Pollution Avoidance
or Prevention; Non-reaction-based Engineering for Pollution Avoidance and
Prevention; and Green Design, Manufacturing, and Industrial Ecology for
Sustainable Product/Services Realization. NSF 01-76

The Shelf-Basin Interactions (SBI) project focuses on shelf, shelf break
and upper slope water-mass and ecosystem modifications, material fluxes
and biochemical cycles. The geographical focus is on the Chukchi and Beaufort
seas adjacent upper slopes and the ultimate realization of these results
into Pan-Arctic and global models. The SBI project is progressing in three
phases over a 10-year period. Phase 1 (1998-2001) is in progress and involves
analyses and synthesis of historical data, opportunistic field investigations,
and limited regional surveys. This solicitation calls for proposals for
work under SBI Phase II which will constitute the core field program which
is to take place in the Bering Strait region. NSF 01-78

The Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory is soliciting
cost-shared applications for research and development that will lead to
advanced clean fuels that: are derived from a diverse mix of secure energy
resources; enable mobile and stationary systems to comply with increasingly
stringent emissions standards; are compatible with the existing liquid
and future transportation fuels infrastructures; satisfy commercial and
military requirements; enable the efficiency of the transportation fleet
to be more than doubled; and are cost competitive with conventional and
other alternative fuels. Solicitation DE-PS26-01NT41114

type of Differential Global Positioning System in conjunction with accurate
digital maps are acceptable and are encouraged. Sol. DTFH61-01-X-00053

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) seeks grant
applications to conduct exploratory and developmental research on high
alcohol content malt and wine specialty consumption as risk factors for
alcohol-related health and social problems in racially, ethnically and
economically diverse communities. For the purpose of this RFA, the beverages
of interest are those with an alcohol content above 5 percent, often sold
in similar containers as malt and wine cooler products having an alcohol
content of 5 percent or lower. This RFA will support research that adds
to our knowledge of the consumption patterns of these beverages and adverse
health and social outcomes, if any. AA-01-003 (NIHG 01/30/01)

This Program Announcement calls for basic, applied, and methodological
research that can advance knowledge about the influence of social networks
on HIV risk and the application of that knowledge to HIV prevention and
treatment efforts. Through this announcement, the NIH seeks to advance
scientific knowledge and strategies directed at the sexual transmission
of HIV in vulnerable populations, especially including adolescents, young
adults, and minority populations. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse
and Alcoholism seeks to expand prior work on the role of social environmental
influences on alcohol consumption and sexual risk behaviors by systematically
examining the relationships among social environmental factors, alcohol
use, sexual risk behaviors, and sexually transmitted infectious (STI) for
groups at high risk of acquiring and transmitting STIs. PAS-01-068
