Title
Collaborative Human Tissue Network (CHTN) (UM1)
Agencies
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), is to support the Collaborative (currently "Cooperative") Human Tissue Network (CHTN). The goal for CHTN is to collect and distribute high quality human tissue specimens to facilitate basic and early translational cancer research. The CHTN is designed as a unique biospecimen resource in that it is based on prospective collection and distribution of samples upon specific investigators’ requests. Samples to be collected from patients include pre-cancerous, cancerous, and benign neoplastic tissues, as well as specimens corresponding to non-neoplastic diseases and uninvolved tissues.
This FOA solicits applications for CHTN awards from institutions/teams capable of contributing to the mission of CHTN by: (1) providing prospective investigator-defined procurement of high-quality malignant, benign, diseased, and uninvolved (normal adjacent) tissues and fluids from patients throughout North America and elsewhere; (2) assisting individual investigators with regard to specific specimen needs of their research; (3) assisting in developing and disseminating knowledge on high quality practices for successfully operating a biospecimen repository; and (4) educating the community about the importance of the availability of high quality human tissue specimens for medical research. Depending on their profile and capabilities, applicants must indicate whether they propose to function as the CHTN adult biospecimen division or the pediatric specimen division. Nonetheless, it will be acceptable for an adult biospecimen division, if capable, to contribute pediatric samples for networked requests.
This FOA is open to all qualified applicants irrespective of their previous association with the CHTN.

Title
Scalable Nanomanufacturing (SNM)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces a third year of a program on collaborative research and education in the area of scalable nanomanufacturing, including the long-term societal implications of the large-scale implementation of nanomanufacturing innovations. This program is in response to and is a component of the National Nanotechnology Initiative Signature Initiative: Sustainable Nanomanufacturing - Creating the Industries of the Future (http://www.nano.gov/node/611). Although many nanofabrication techniques have demonstrated the ability to fabricate small quantities of nanomaterials and devices for characterization and evaluation purposes, the emphasis of this program is on research to overcome the key impediments that prevent the low cost production of useful nanomaterials, devices and systems at industrially relevant scale. Therefore, competitive proposals will incorporate three elements in their research plans:
A persuasive argument that the nanomaterials, devices or systems to be produced have or are likely to have sufficient demand to justify eventual scale-up;
A clearly identified and arguably complete set of research issues that must be addressed to enable the low cost production of high quality products; and
A compelling research plan with clear objectives to overcome the identified research issues that is supported by preliminary results relevant to scale-up.
The mode of support is Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT). Proposals submitted to this program must address at least one, and preferably more than one, of the following interconnected themes:
Novel processes and techniques for continuous and scalable nanomanufacturing;
Directed (e.g. physical/chemical/biological) self-assembly processes leading to heterogeneous nanostructures with the potential for high-rate production;
Fundamental scientific research in well-defined areas that are compellingly justified as critical impediments to scale-up;
Principles and design methods to produce machines and processes to manufacture nanoscale structures, devices and systems; and/or
Societal, environmental and educational implications of the large-scale production and use of nanomaterials, devices and systems, including the life-cycle analysis of such nanomaterials, devices and systems.
Other research and education projects in nanoscale science and engineering will continue to be supported in the relevant programs and divisions.

Title
2013-2014 A-21 Request
Agencies
Virginia Tech (VT)
Description
Federal Circular A-21 (from the Office of Management and Budget, OMB) establishes the principles for determining costs applicable to grants, contracts or any other agreements with educational institutions. For the purpose of covering the cost of administrative and clerical salaried service support intended to foster development of new research programs that cannot be directly charged to grants and contracts, the University has provided funding referred to as A-21 funds. These funds are administered by the Office of Research annually. To provide A-21 funding for new initiatives, all current allocations of A-21 funds made in the prior fiscal year are being reduced by a 10 percent linear reduction over a 10-year time frame. This approach provides a pool for new allocations at the beginning of each fiscal year. The amount available for FY13-14 is estimated to be $100,000 in direct salary costs to be distributed to support new proposals selected in this cycle. The new programs are subject to the 10 percent linear reduction in the year following the allocation and every subsequent year within the 10-year time frame. The Office of Research is responsible for the distribution of these funds annually. This responsibility includes receiving the funds from the budget office, announcement of the award process, process timeline, receipt of all funding requests, acceptance of award recommendations, announcing awards and distribution of funding.
Employment classifications which may be considered for this funding include University and Classified Staff in clerical and fiscal areas typically. The positions are expected to be salaried positions (ineligible are faculty and wage positions). Priority will be given to proposals that demonstrate the fostering and development of new and/or expanding areas of research. Examples of appropriate initiatives to be supported by this funding include but are not limited to:
1) New administrative position for college-level grant writing support services
2) New clerical/administrative assistant for department or research center to support expanded research activities.

Extension Integrated Pest Management Coordination and Support Program
Agencies
United States Department of Agriculture
Description
NIFA anticipates that grant funds will be available and requests applications for the Extension Integrated Pest Management Coordination and Support Program (EIPM-CS) for fiscal year (FY) 2013. This program provides funding for two components of extension integrated pest management, COORDINATION and SUPPORT. Each of the funding opportunities within the EIPM-CS program assist state and local contributions in advancing the goals of the National Roadmap for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) (www.nifa.usda.gov/nea/pest/in_focus/ipm_if_roadmap.html) by addressing priority needs associated with the coordination, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of extension IPM programs. SUPPORT projects should also advance regional issues of shared importance. Through training, EIPM-CS projects help pest managers gain confidence in alternative pest management practices. All EIPM-CS efforts contribute to the achievement of National IPM goals through the demonstration and evaluation of IPM practices in production agriculture and other settings. Awards provide funding for programs that strengthen the ability of NIFA and the Cooperative Extension Service at its partner institutions to actively address local, state, and national IPM needs and rapidly respond to new issues and opportunities.
Successful proposals will demonstrate effective efforts by extension educators and implementation of IPM practices by end users, and provide measurements of those successes. The amount made available for EIPM-CS in FY 2013 is anticipated to be approximately $8,800,000. This RFA is being released prior to the passage of an Appropriations Act for FY 2013. Enactment of additional Continuing Resolutions or an Appropriations Act may affect the availability or level of funding for this program.
In FY 2013, all awards will be new awards; there are no existing continuation obligations. The following institutions are eligible to apply for an award through this program: the 1862 land-grant institutions, any of the six U.S. territories, and 1890 land-grant institutions, including Tuskegee University, West Virginia State University, the University of the District of Columbia. EIPM-CS COORDINATION awards link projects and deliver diverse information to various clientele in the state; SUPPORT projects develop extension multi-state IPM working groups addressing issues relevant to small farms or underserved audiences or develop Extension responses to critical IPM issues (fully defined Part I.,C.); support projects must advance the goals of the National Roadmap for IPM (nifa.usda.gov/nea/pest/in_focus/ipm_if_roadmap.html). Available funds will be distributed among the highest ranked EIPM-CS COORDINATION and SUPPORT projects. Not all applicants should expect to receive awards. Applications ranked below the medium priority are not considered to be in a fundable category.
A briefing on this RFA will be conducted by phone conference Monday, March 4, 2013, 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and as a stand-alone webinar after that date. For details please see: http://www.nifa.usda.gov/funding/eipm/eipm.html.
