The GOALI initiative aims to synergize university-industry partnerships
by making funds available to support an eclectic mix of industry-university
linkages. Special interest is focused on affording the opportunity for:
1) faculty, postdoctoral fellows and students to conduct research and gain
experience with production processes in an industrial setting, 2) industrial
scientists and engineers to bring industry's perspective and integrative
skills to academe, and 3) interdisciplinary university-industry teams to
conduct long-term projects. The topics addressed in a GOALI award need
not focus on fundamental issues only, but should address long-term, generic
research within an intellectual envelope shared by the industrial partner.
Persons interested in requesting funds under GOALI should contact an NSF
Program Director in the Directorate in their area of interest for guidance
on proposal submissions. (NSF 98-142)

economic growth through policy reform. The purpose of APD is to help bureaus,
missions, and host country decision-makers in identifying issues and resolving
problems concerning agricultural policy, especially issues related to trade
reform, market performance, food equity, and agricultural sustainability.

for children and adults to participate in and increase their understanding
of or skills in the arts; and 3) provide professional development opportunities
for artists, arts professionals, and teachers. The Endowment regards the
direct involvement of artists and, where appropriate, the use of original
works of art in all forms and live performances as crucial elements in
excellent Education projects.

The Office for Central Europe and Eurasia of the National Research Council
is offering grants to American specialists who plan to establish new research
partnerships with their colleagues from Central/Eastern Europe and the
Newly Independent States. The Collaboration in Basic Science and Engineering
(COBASE) is designed primarily to prepare these new partnerships for competition
in National Science Foundation programs. Short-term Project Development
Grants support American specialists who wish to host or visit colleagues
for two-week periods in order to prepare collaborative research proposals
for submission to NSF. Long-term Grants support American specialists who
wish to host or visit colleagues for collaboration with research for a
period of one to six months. Significant publications jointly authored
by program participants as a result of the long-term visits are expected.
The July deadline is for Long-term projects only. The August and December
deadlines are for the Short-term Project Development.

This Announcement solicits observing proposals for participation in the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program to acquire
and analyze scientific data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE).
The primary goal of the RXTE mission is to investigate the nature and physics
of compact astrophysical objects as revealed through temporal variations
in their high energy emission on time scales from microseconds to years.
This Announcement is the fourth for RXTE Guest Observations, and solicits
proposals for observations to be carried out beginning on or around January
1, 1999. Cycle 4 in expected to last approximately 14 months. AN-98-OSS-01

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) invites grant applications
to support educational programs (Clinical Research Education Programs in
Drug Abuse and Addiction) aimed at 1) developing the research skills of
investigators who wish to focus on clinical, prevention, health services,
or treatment issues in drug abuse or 2) developing a cadre of clinical
drug abuse experts proficient in the use of research findings (for example,
in public health, behavioral science, or medicine) to develop or implement
early detection, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention interventions. This
latter category would also include applications of health services research
findings. Programs that address both of these aims are particularly desired.

studies in which the technological, methodological, or theoretical approach
to the problem lacks a traditional historical basis or pilot data, but
which could have a major impact on a scientific area or field. PAR-99-092
