Mellon Foundation and the Trust for Mutual Understanding, the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation has announced a major expansion of the USArtists International, a national initiative solely dedicated to promoting the work of American performing artists abroad. Formerly limited to supporting dance and music ensembles invited to perform at international festivals, USAI will now encompass festivals anywhere in the world outside the United States. The program also will be open to support American theater companies and solo performances in all performing arts disciplines. Grants are available to American dance, music, and theater ensembles and solo artists that have been invited to participate in international festivals outside the United States.

ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS & PHYSICAL SCIENCES

46-8 Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL S4) (NSF)

The particle physics, cosmology/astrophysics and nuclear physics communities have identified the need for a deep underground laboratory infrastructure in order to address some of the most compelling, transformational questions at the frontier of their disciplines. The Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) is proposed to address the need for such an underground infrastructure, and is in the planning stages at the National Science Foundation for possible consideration for funding as a Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction (MREFC) project. If approved or funded as an MREFC project, DUSEL would include funds to support construction of both the facility and its infrastructure, the design of which is supported through the DUSEL Solicitation 3 award and the suite of DUSEL experiments that this infrastructure would host. This solicitation (DUSEL Solicitation 4, S4) invites proposals to develop project plans for specific candidate experiments that could be considered for the suite of DUSEL experiments.
