National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering/NIH/DHHS: Administrative Supplements for Participation in Standards Development Process

Due: December 1, 2009

Award: $30,000 a year for two years

The funds provided by the supplement are expected to support attendance and travel to standards development meetings as well as time and effort spent on drafting and reviewing standards documents, participating in phone or email discussions, and laboratory testing where appropriate. Applicants may propose to contribute to an existing standard development effort or to initiate a new standard if a need has been identified in the course of research. Some bioengineering endeavors that would benefit from standards development are biomaterials testing, tissue engineering, nanomedicine, point-of-care testing, biosensors, and neuroengineering.

American Mathematical Society: 2010-2011 Centennial Fellowship Program

Due: December 1, 2009

Award: $77,000 with an additional expense allowance of about $7,700

The primary selection for the Centennial Fellowship is the excellent of the candidate's research. Preference will be given to candidates who have not had extensive fellowship support in the past. Applications will be accepted from those currently holding a tenured, tenure-track, postdoctoral or comparable position at an institute in North America.

NSF: Hydrologic Sciences

Due: December 5, 2009

Award: Between $264,000 and $197,500 annually

Hydrologic Sciences focuses on the flow of water and transport processes within streams, soils, and aquifers. Particular attention is given to spatial and temporal heterogeneity of fluxes and storages of water, particles, and chemicals coupling across interfaces with the landscape, microbial communities, and coastal environments, to upscaling and downscaling given these heterogeneities and interfaces and how these processes are altered by climate and land use changes. Studies may address aqueous geochemistry as well as physical, chemical, and biological processes within water bodies. These studies commonly involve expertise from many basic sciences and mathematics, and proposals often require joint review with related programs.

NSF: Geophysics

Due: December 5, 2009

Award: $208,000 annually

The Geophysics Program supports basic research in the physics of the solid earth to explore its composition, structure, and processes. Laboratory, field, theoretical, and computational studies are supported. Topics include seismicity, seismic wave propagation, and the nature and occurrence of earthquakes; the earth's magnetic, gravity, and electrical fields; the earth's thermal structure; and geodynamics. Supported research also includes geophysical studies of active deformation, including geodesy, and studies of the properties and behavior of earth materials in support of geophysical observation and theory.

Directorate for Engineering/NSF: Interdisciplinary Research

Due: December 7, 2009

Award: Between $400,000-$600,000 for up to three years

Interdisciplinary Research (IDR) is a mode of research by teams or individuals that integrates information, data, techniques, tools, perspectives, concepts, and/or theories from two or more disciplines or bodies of specialized knowledge to advance fundamental understanding or to solve problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline or area of research practice.

NSF: East Asia Pacific Summer Institutes

Due: December 8, 2009

Award: $5,000 summer stipend, round-trip airfare to host country, living expenses abroad

The program is intended for U.S. graduate students pursuing studies in fields supported by the National Science Foundation. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply for the EAPSI. Applicants must be enrolled in a research-oriented master's or PhD program and be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents by the application deadline date. Students in combined bachelor/master degree programs must have matriculated from the undergraduate degree program at time of application.

Federal: Circuit Analysis Tool (CAT) Program Broad Agency Announcement

Due: December 11, 2009

Award: Unspecified for a four year program

To address challenges for which existing techniques have no clear evolutionary path to the22 nm node and beyond. IARPA is looking for significant improvements in tool technology, including revolutionary tools and techniques that will enable electrical and physical measurements on future integrated circuits. IARPA is interested in tools that are necessary for circuit analysis at future technology nodes, specifically, the 22 nm node and beyond. This also includes analysis tools capable of working with the advanced packaging of circuits at these advanced technology nodes including but not limited to stacked die. These tools are required to evaluate commercial products for use by the Government. IARPA is specifically interested in both global and local analysis tools and techniques that can address circuit edit, fault isolation, logic analysis and imaging challenges for which there are currently no solutions. This is analogous to the "red" boxes for technology issues in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) annual reports, which can be found at www.itrs.net.

Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU): Visiting Industrial Scholars Program

Due: December 18, 2009

Amount: $600 (to be used for expenses related to the on-campus visit of an industrial scientist)

The Visiting Industrial Scholar Program helps support visits by senior industrial scientists to Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) member institutions. The primary goal of the program is to foster interactions between faculty and students at member institutions and industrial scientists. The form of the interaction is left to the individual institution: seminars, lectures, cooperative project development, etc.
