34-3 Corn, Grain Sorghum and Soybean Research
-
The Kansas Corn, Grain Sorghum and Soybean Commissions have issued their
requests for proposals for FY 2001. The Corn Commission is particularly
interested in Production/Environmental Programs that include principal
investigators from at least two disciplines and address Best management
practices for corn production to minimize the impact of nutrient elements
and pesticides on the environment; compare new BMPs to current ones with
verification of the on-site benefits to water quality; crop protection/pest
management/ and replacement of existing controls/seed treatments. Value-Added
Projects also are a priority. The Soybean Commission is also interested
in multidisciplinary projects for Best management practices; New and innovative
uses of soybeans as vital components in human nutrition; Value-Added Projects;
and International market development. The Grain Sorghum Commission is interested
in Best management practices, Cold tolerance adaptations; Relative feeding
value for poultry growing and finishing rations; and Value-Added Projects

34-5 ELINT Collection and Processing (DOD)
-
Air Force Research Lab/Information Directorate, Rome, is soliciting white
papers for various scientific studies and experiments to increase the Information
Directorate's knowledge and understanding of the broad range of capabilities
required in support of ELINT Collection and Processing. Solutions to basic
research and engineering using innovative approaches will be sought. The
overall technical objectives of this BAA are the use of Artificial Intelligence
applications, as well as enhanced or new digital processing hardware and
software and to provide: 1) Dynamic/updatable characterization and correlation
databases that use existing multi-source near-real-time collection systems.
Measurable and descriptive emitter characteristics should also be used
in the database as well as known specific operating characterization values;
2) Enhanced collection system efficiency; and 3) Improved, labor reducing
digital signal processing hardware and software analysis with high-capacity
capability technology to offset manning reductions at operations units.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Idaho Operations Office is seeking
applications for special research grant awards that will support nuclear
engineering research. Eligibility for awards under this program is restricted
to U.S. colleges and universities with nuclear engineering degree programs
or option or an operating research reactor because the purpose of the Nuclear
Engineering Education Research (NEER) program is to 1) support basic research
in nuclear engineering; 2) assist in developing nuclear engineering students,
and 3) contribute to strengthening the academic community's nuclear engineering
infrastructure. Applications for NEER grants should be directed to state-of-the-art
research that contributes to any of the following eight areas: reactor
physics, reactor engineering, reactor materials, radiological engineering,
radioactive waste management, applied radiation science, nuclear safety
and risk analysis, and innovative technologies for next generation reactors,
space power and propulsion, or radiation sources. DE-PS07-00ID13860

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to solicit
research proposals for science investigations to be initiated for the US
component of the international science team for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument
(OMI) which is to fly aboard the CHEM mission of NASA's Earth Observing
System (EOS) currently scheduled for launch in late 2002. Two categories
of proposals may be submitted under this announcement: US team leader (TL)
or team member (TM). OMI is an ultraviolet-visible nadir viewing instrument
designed to make measurements of distributions of ozone the other trace
constituents in the Earth's atmosphere. The investigators comprising the
US component of the OMI science team will be responsible for all OMI-related
work carried out in the US, including the development of algorithms, processing
of data, and validation of data from OMI, as well as the development of
combined data products using data from OMI and other sensors planned for
flight aboard EOS CHEM. The US Team Leader will have the responsibility
to coordinate the US members of the OMI Science Team, and to ensure that
Algorithms developed by the US Team Members are coordinated and implemented
in an optimal way, and that data products are produced and archived consistent
with appropriate guidelines for the EOS project. NRA-99-OES-05 (CBD 09/10/99)
