GENERAL14-1 Manhattan Community Grants (MCF)The Manhattan Community Foundation is pleased to invite non-profit, tax-exempt organizations in the greater Manhattan area to apply for grants for charitable purposes. Areas include: Arts and Humanities; Basic Human Needs and Disaster Relief; Community Development and Leadership; Preservation, Conservation and Beautification; Education, Children and Youth; The Elderly; and Health Care and Mental Health. 14-2 Decision Making in Health: Behavior Maintenance (NIH)The purpose of this initiative is to invite applications for research projects that will expand our knowledge of basic decision-making processes underlying initiation and long-term maintenance of healthy lifestyle behaviors that may reduce one's risk of cancer and other chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and addiction. The NCI, NIDA, and NIAAA encourage collaborations between basic judgement and decision-making researchers, and applied cancer control or addiction researchers that will elucidate the basic cognitive and affective processes involved in decisions that are made repeatedly over time, such as adhering to weight-loss programs or smoking cessation programs. PA-05-016 (NIHG 11/26/04) 14-3 Tibet Professional, Educational, and Cultural Exchange (STATE)The Office of Citizen Exchanges welcomes proposals in an open competition for Tibet Professional Educational and Cultural Exchange Projects that focus on the themes of Cultural Preservation and Economic Self-sufficiency. The Office seeks proposals that train and assist Tibetans living in Tibetan communities in China by providing professional experience and exposure to American life and culture through internships, workshops and other learning and sharing experiences hosted by local U.S. institutions. The experiences also will provide Americans the opportunity to learn about Tibetan culture and the social and economic challenges Tibetans face today. These two-way exchanges should not be simply academic in nature but should provide practical, hands-on experiences in U.S. public or private sector settings that may be adapted to an individual's institution upon return home.

The first CI_TEAM solicitation seeks promising demonstration project proposals from partnerships of organizations committed to the preparation of a diverse cyberinfrastructure-savvy science and engineering workforce. An organization may submit only one CI-TEAM proposal. Please contact Jim Guikema, 532-6195, guikema@ksu.edu, by April 18 if you are interested in submitting. Posted 3/14/05 (NSF 05-560) 14-9 ROSES-2005 Amendment (NASA)NASA has released an amendment to its ROSES-2005 Research Announcement. Several solicitations have been canceled: Virtual Observatories for Solar and Space Physics Data; Astrophysics Data Analysis; Long Term Space Astrophysics. Due dates have been postponed for NASA Energy and Water Cycle Study (NEWS) program (now August 18, 2005) and Terrestrial Hydrology (now September 16, 2005). There are also clarifications to several programs. NNH05ZDA001N HEALTH & LIFE SCIENCES14-10 Sunflower Foundation Grants (SF)The Sunflower Foundation is pleased to announce a new Request for Proposals. This is a comprehensive RFP across the foundation's three program areas: Access to Health Care (Addressing Health Disparities); Capacity Building; and Healthy Behaviors and Prevention (Promoting Physical Activity, Walking Trails (Built Environment). The foundation will host briefings via teleconference on April 20 and 22, 2005, to discuss the RFP and answer questions. Initial submission is a Concept Paper. (06-101) 14-11 Identification of Alcohol Biomarker Signatures (NIH)This Request for Applications (RFA) fosters the utilization of genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic technologies for the development of diagnostic biomarker signatures for alcohol consumption and alcohol-induced tissue injury. Specifically, the research program is aimed at identifying signatures of acute and chronic alcohol consumption for diagnosing high-risk drinking, detecting relapse to drinking, disclosing recent drinking in high risk situations such as pregnancy, as well as signatures for alcohol-induced early tissue damage including brain damage, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), pancreatitis, immune disorders, cancer, cardiomyopathy and other alcohol-induced diseases.
