This FOA is intended to support exploratory biomedical informatics and computational biology research--applications should be innovative, with high risk/high impact in new areas that are lacking preliminary data or development. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Development (R21) grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA identical scientific scope, PAR-08-184, that solicits applications under the R01 mechanism. PAR-08-183 (NIHG 6/27/08) 30-2 Economics of Treatment and Prevention Services for Drug & Alcohol Abuse (R03) (NIH)This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) encourages Research Project Grant (R03) applications on the economics of prevention and treatment services for drug and alcohol abuse. Such research projects might emphasize any of the following subjects: 1) financing and purchasing of drug and alcohol treatment and prevention services, including studies of health and insurance and payment mechanisms; 2) economic incentives used to improve the quality and economic efficiency of treatment and prevention services; 3) alternative delivery systems and managed care; 4) cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness, or cost-utility analyses; 5) service costs, production, and economic efficiency; and 6) research to develop or improve methods to be used in the economic study of drug and alcohol services. This FOA will utilize the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism and runs in parallel with FOAs of identical scientific scope, PA-08-174 that encourages applications under the R01 mechanism and PA-08-173 that encourages applications under the R21 mechanism. PA-08-172 (NIHG 6/6/08) EDUCATION30-3 Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE) (NSF)The Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (DRL) in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (HER) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) supports basic research and evaluation that enhance science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning and teaching. The Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE) program aims at advancing research at the frontiers of STEM learning, education, and evaluation, and at providing the foundational knowledge necessary to improve STEM teaching and learning at all educational levels and in all settings. This solicitation calls for three types of proposals--Knowledge Diffusion, Empirical Research, and Large Empirical Research. NSF 08-585 (GG 7/18/08) Deadline: Letters of Intent 10/17/2008; Proposals 11/21/2008 ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS & PHYSICAL SCIENCES30-4 Cost-Effective Approaches to Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Through Energy Efficiency, Clean Energy, and Corporate Greenhouse Gas Management (EPA)This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits proposals to advance energy efficiency and clean energy programming and policies, including corporate greenhouse gas management, through cost-effective strategies. Proposals submitted for consideration should: 1) identify specific approaches for working with stakeholders; 2) demonstrate an understanding of the technologies and market structure for delivery of the technologies, or best practices, to energy end users; 3) identify market barriers to greater adoption of energy efficient and clean energy technologies, or best practices, and 4) delineate strategies for overcoming barriers identified. EPA-OAR-CPPD-08-04 (GG 7/18/08) 30-5 Multicore Chip Design and Architecture: (MCDA) (NSF)As Moore's law scaling runs its course, researchers in industry and academia must explore new means by which to ensure continued technological advances in computing. CMOS scaling is increasingly limited by the realities imposed by physics, making architectural innovations the most likely means by which to achieve increased computational performance. Multicore-based systems that modularly integrate multiple, heterogeneous processor cores on a single chip promise computational performance enhancements for both high and low end computing platforms (e.g., from petaflop machines to embedded systems). Novel research is needed on design, fabrication, architecture and programmability of homogeneous as well as heterogeneous multicore systems that will address virtually all hardware and software aspects of computing system design. NSF and the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) recognize this need, and have agreed to embark on this new collaborative research program to address compelling research challenges in multicore-based systems that are of paramount importance to industry, academia and society at large. An individual may participate in at most one proposal as PI, co-PI, or senior personnel. NSF 08-584 (GG 7/17/08) 30-6 Computer and Network Systems (CNS): Core Programs (NSF)CISE's Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) supports research and education projects that develop new knowledge in two core programs: The Computer Systems Research (CSR) program; and The Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program. Proposers are invited to submit proposals in three project classes, which are defined as follows: Small Projects- with durations up to three years; Medium Projects- up to four years; and Large Projects- with durations up to five years. In any contiguous August through December period, an individual may participate as PI, Co-PI or Senior Personnel in no more than two proposals submitted in response to the coordinated solicitation (where coordinated solicitation is defined to include the Computer and Network Systems (CNS): Core Programs, the information and Intelligent Systems (IIS): Core Programs and the Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF): Core Programs solicitations). NSF 08-576 (GG 6/30/08) 30-7 Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF): Core Programs (NSF)CISE's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF) supports research and education projects that develop new knowledge in three core programs: The Algorithmic Foundations program; The Communications and Information Foundations program; and The Software and Hardware Foundations program.
