1.DURIP FY 2011 – AFOSR

Due: Sep 15, 2009

The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the Fiscal Year 2010 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP), a part of the University Research Initiative (URI). DURIP is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. institutions of higher education (hereafter referred to as “universities”) to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in areas important to national defense, by providing funds for the acquisition of research equipment. This announcement seeks proposals to purchase instrumentation in support of research areas of interest to the DoD, including areas of research supported by the administering agencies.

2.Proposers' Day Announcement for the Knowledge Discovery & Dissemination Program

DUE: 08-14-09

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) will host a Proposers' Day Conference for the Knowledge Discovery and Dissemination (KDD) Program on August 20, 2009 in anticipation of the release of a new solicitation in support of the program. The Conference will be held from 8:30am to 6:00pm in the Washington DC metropolitan area. The purpose of the conference will be to provide information on the Knowledge Discovery and Dissemination Program, to address questions from potential proposers and to provide a forum for potential proposers to present their capabilities for teaming opportunities.https://www.fbo.gov/notices/d9f8d305183a22214472bba12e66a006

3. TOPIC SOLICITATION FOR FY 2011 EMERGING FRONTIERS IN RESEARCH AND INNOVATION - NSF

DEADLINE: September 15, 2009

The purpose is to invite the research community to submit suggestions for topics to be considered for the FY 2011 Program Solicitation of the Office of Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI). This is not a request for submission of a single research proposal idea but rather of an emerging transformational area of research and innovation. You may submit your ideas by accessing the following website - http://www.nsf.gov/eng/efri/efri2011/- and submitting your candidate topic idea along with a one-page description. Please follow the instructions provided. http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2009/nsf09059/nsf09059.jsp?govDel=USNSF_25

4. Outstanding New Environmental Scientist Award (ONES) (R01) - NIH

Request for Applications (RFA) Number: RFA-ES-09-007

Letter of Intent: Oct 5, 2009

Proposal: Nov 3, 2009

The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist Award is intended to identify outstanding scientists who are in the early, formative stages of their careers and who intend to make a long term career commitment to research in the mission areas of the NIEHS and assist them in launching an innovative research program focusing on problems of environmental exposures and human biology, human pathophysiology and human disease.

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for various research and development topic areas. This notice is to identify additional areas of interest and as a result the following topics are added: EL-21-1 - Natural Resources Inventories; updated as of 14-July-2009 CHL-17 - Marine Transportation Technologies; updated as of 14-Jul-2009 CRREL-9 - Counter Improvised Explosive Device Special Program Area; updated as of 14-Jul-2009 EL-2 - Environmental and Military Sensing; updated as of 14-Jul-2009. https://www.fbo.gov/spg/USA/COE/329/W912HZ09BAA02/listing.html

8. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Based Tactical Electric Power Demonstration - ONR

SOL: ONRBAA09-034

DUE: 09-04-09

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals to develop and demonstrate a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Tactical Electric Power (TEP). The intent of this BAA is to have a performer develop a single Solid Oxide Fuel Cell TEP design and deliver two identical prototypes for government demonstration. https://www.fbo.gov/spg/DON/ONR/ONR/ONRBAA09-034/listing.html

9. Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) - NSF

Solicitation: 09-598

Due: Oct 22, 2009

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: (1) REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research. REU Sites may be based in a single discipline or academic department, or on interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are welcome. A partnership with the Department of Defense supports REU Sites in DoD-relevant research areas. (2) REU Supplements may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects or may be included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements.
