Title
Simons Investigators in Physics
Agencies
Simons Foundation (Simons)
Description
The Simons Foundation invites nominations for the Simons Investigators in Mathematics, Physics, and Theoretical Computer Science program. Simons Investigators are outstanding theoretical scientists who receive long-term research support from the Simons Foundation.
Rationale: The Simons Investigators program aims to provide a stable base of support for outstanding scientists, enabling them to undertake long-term investigations of the fundamental questions. The intent of the program is to support these scientists in their most productive years, when they are establishing creative new research directions, providing leadership to the field and effectively mentoring junior scientists.
Level and Duration of Funding: A Simons Investigator is appointed for an initial period of five years. Renewal for an additional five years is contingent upon the evaluation of scientific impact of the Investigator. Renewal beyond the 10-year period will not be considered. Appointments will begin August 1, 2014.
An Investigator position may be interrupted and resumed for reasons that would normally justify a leave from a university such as illness, need to care for family members, or national service. Periods of sabbatical or research leave do not interrupt the Investigator position. Support may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the foundation, but it is expected that termination of the grant at times other than 5 or 10 years would occur only in very rare cases.
An Investigator will receive research support in an amount initially set at $100,000 per year. An additional $10,000 per year will be provided to the Investigator’s department. The award is administered through the institution at which the Investigator is appointed, and this institution will receive 20 percent in indirect costs.
Appropriate Expenses: The funding provided to the Investigator may be used at the Investigator’s discretion to support research expenses in the following categories:
• Up to one month of summer salary and related benefits
• Salary support and related benefits, including tuition support, for postdoctoral, graduate or undergraduate research assistants
• Domestic or international travel for the Investigator
• Short or long-term visitors, including travel, meals, and lodging expenses
• Research equipment, supplies, and other expenses directly benefiting the research
Expenditures in other expense categories may be possible, but must be approved in advance by the foundation. Investigator funds may not be used for sabbatical salary support or teaching relief of any kind.
Funding provided for the Investigator’s department should be used at the discretion of the department Chair to provide support for seminars, visitors, refreshments, and related expenditures that benefit the research activities of the department. The department is expected to provide appropriate administrative support to the Investigator.

NIDCD National Temporal Bone, Hearing & Balance Pathology Resource Registry (U24)
Agencies
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
The NIDCD Temporal Bone Registry is a national research resource for human otopathology. Its fundamental purpose is to coordinate information about specimens of the human ear and its disorders. The Registry coordinates specimen collection, information recording and data management of specimens, and provides public information including an up to date website about human ear research. It is not a simple database or tissue bank for human ear specimens. This FOA is appropriate for these functions specifically to enhance and promote critically needed research on the middle ear and inner ear that cannot be done in living humans. This initiative will support the Registry by cooperative agreement, to:
develop a growing database to access detailed information about the location, condition, accessibility, and other bioinformatics data about new and archival tissues around the country that are available as resources for otopathology and basic research, and to respond widely to scientific and clinical researchers, disseminating information about the resources available;
maintain a well-organized nationwide network of on-call experts for timely post-mortem harvesting of tissues, to develop new methods or techniques for subject recruitment and tissue procurement, and to handle ‘pledges’ for tissue donation combined with relevant medical histories that will allow linking functional disorders to morphological, biochemical and genetic pathologies;
coordinate information management among otopathologists including those involved in collaborations such as the current NIDCD Otopathology Network of research laboratories, to provide opportunities for short-term training experiences in otopathology laboratories, and coordinate preservation of existing valuable archival collections;
provide education/outreach to the scientific community and to the public.

National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
This program seeks to enhance and expand the national resource of digital data documenting existing vouchered biological and paleontological collections and to advance scientific knowledge by improving access to digitized information (including images) residing in vouchered scientific collections across the United States. The information associated with various collections of organisms, such as geographic, paleogeographic and stratigraphic distribution, environmental habitat data, phenology, information about associated organisms, collector field notes, and tissues and molecular data extracted from the specimens, is a rich resource providing the baseline from which to further biodiversity research and provide critical information about existing gaps in our knowledge of life on earth. The national resource is structured at three levels: a central coordinating organization, a series of thematic networks based on an important research theme, and the physical collections. The national resource builds upon a sizable existing national investment in curation of the physical objects in scientific collections and contributes vitally to scientific research and technology interests in the United States. It will become an invaluable tool in understanding contemporary biological issues and challenges.

By combining NIST’s expertise and experience in materials science, materials characterization, reference data, and standards with leading research capabilities for designing, producing, and processing advanced materials, the Advanced Materials Center of Excellence will create a collaborative environment and concentration of scientific and technical capability to accelerate materials discovery and development; provide opportunities to transition new breakthroughs in advanced materials to industry, convene multidisciplinary and multi-sector communities for in-depth discussions; and provide training opportunities for scientists and engineers in materials metrology. This Center of Excellence will contribute to and demonstrate use of the tools and resources developed by the Materials Genome Initiative to create a new era of materials innovation that will serve as a foundation for strengthening domestic industry.
Competitive applications for a Center should demonstrate the applicant’s ability to create and manage a world-class research program aimed at broadly accelerating the design, discovery, development and deployment of advanced materials by the nation’s academic and industry enterprises. Proposed Centers should address two broad challenges through a partnership with NIST:
1) Foster the development of integrated computational, modeling and other data-driven tools needed to achieve the accelerated development of advanced materials as envisioned in the administration’s Materials Genome Initiative, including;
• the development of new modeling, simulation and other computational tools for materials design,
• the development of advanced information management systems needed to support the creation and integration of tools for data-driven scientific discovery and engineering of materials,
• the establishment of standards, infrastructure, and reference databases needed to enable reliable computational-driven materials discovery and optimization, and
2) Foster the discovery of revolutionary new materials by academic and industry researchers by leveraging and amplifying access to the world-class, often unique facilities and expertise for materials characterization at NIST including:
• NIST methods in x-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction tools tailored for the analysis of soft materials, lightweight alloys, and advanced electronics,
3
• NIST soft x-ray synchrotron tools for nanoscale-resolved mapping of materials composition and structure
• NIST advanced microscopy facilities that provide hyperspectral analysis of materials structure and properties
• NIST expertise and facilities in nanomechanical testing and nanomaterials analysis
• NIST facilities for combinatorial materials library production and high-throughput testing.
It is expected that in each of these endeavors the recipient will accelerate the adoption of tools into the advanced manufacturing industry, and that the recipient will establish opportunities for extended collaborations between NIST, lead and partner institutions, and recipient scientists through the Center, employing mechanisms such as staff exchanges, jointly advised graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and senior guest scientists. Refer to http://www.nist.gov and www.nist.gov/mgi for more information about NIST and the areas of research collaboration presently available to the Advanced Materials Center of Excellence participants.
