18-2 Canadian Studies Grants (Canada)
-
The Canadian Studies Grant Program offers grants to increase knowledge
and appreciation of Canada in the U.S. through the support of teaching,
research, and program activities in a wide range of disciplines. The Canadian
government is particularly interested in projects that focus on the diverse
aspects of Canada-U.S. relations. Priority topics include bilateral trade
and economics, Canada-U.S. border issues, cultural policy and values, environmental,
natural resources, and energy issues, and security cooperation. In addition,
projects that examine Canadian politics, economics, culture, and society
as well as Canada's role in international affairs are welcome. Grants are
available for research, faculty enrichment, conferences, program enhancement,
and graduate student fellowships.

The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide
activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious
awards for new faculty members. CAREER awardees will be selected on the
basis of creative career-development plans that effectively integrate research
and education within the context of missions of their institution. Each
year NSF selects nominees for Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists
and Engineers (PECASE) from among the most meritorious new CAREER awardees.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) awards funds
to nonprofit organizations to conduct safety and health training and education
in the workplace. This notice announces grant availability for training
in safety and health programs in construction; in ergonomics; in blood
borne pathogens; in electrical power generation, transmission and distribution;
and for hard-to-reach workers. Susan Harwood Grants provide funds to train
workers and employers to recognize, avoid, and prevent safety and health
hazards in their workplaces. The program emphasizes three areas: Educating
workers and employers in small businesses; Training workers and employers
about new OSHA standards; and Training workers and employers about high
risk activities or hazards identified by OSHA through its Strategic Plan,
or as part of an OSHA special emphasis program.

The Biodiversity and Ecosystem Informatics program seeks to support
proposals for high-risk, small-scale planning or incubation activities
that will likely catalyze rapid and innovative advances in the new interdisciplinary
research community of biodiversity and ecosystem informatics. Successful
proposals will foster novel and synergistic interdisciplinary work between
the computer and information science community and biodiversity and ecological
science community. Rather than incremental extensions of current work,
proposals are expected to address new and exciting Computer Science and
Information Technology (SC/IT) research directions, while at the same time
helping to identify the next-generation biodiversity and ecosytems information
infrastructure. Proposals that involve collaborations with one or more
Federal agencies are strongly encouraged.

the advance of technology and the preservation of the natural/human environment.
Lindbergh Grants are made in the following categories: agriculture; aviation/aerospace;
conservation of natural resources--including animals, plants, water, and
general conservation (land, air, energy, etc.); education--including humanities/education,
the arts, and intercultural communication; exploration; health--including
biomedical research, health and population sciences, and adaptive technology;
and waste minimization and management.

The purpose of the Planning Grants for Molecular Epidemiology in
the Environmental Genome Project is to build collaborations between scientists
working in the fields of epidemiology, environmental health sciences, molecular
biology, and biostatistics to plan novel and innovative molecular epidemiology
studies of environmentally induced diseases. A focus on using high through-put
technology in molecular epidemiology studies of environmental response
genes is intended, as well as the development of new biostatistics methods
to support such studies. RFA-ES-01-005 (NIHG 04/20/01)
