Title Democracy, Human Rights, Rule of Law, and Freedom of Expression/Press for the Europe/Eurasia Region Agencies United States Department of State (DOS) Description The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) announces a Request for Proposals from organizations interested in submitting proposals for projects that promote democracy, human rights, rule of law, and freedom of expression/press in Europe and Eurasia. DRL invites organizations to submit proposals outlining program concepts and capacity to manage projects targeting the following issues: 1. Russia a. Building the Capacity of Media to Increase Transparency and Counter Corruption - DRL's objective is to strengthen the capacity of civil society and media to advocate against corruption in the context of the Russian government's anti-corruption and transparency initiatives. DRL seeks proposals that build bridges between the worlds of journalism and anti-corruption advocacy in Russia. Proposals should expand the capacity of journalists, bloggers, and/or civil society to uncover and effectively publicize reports of corruption on the local, regional, or national levels using new and traditional media. Proposals may focus on countering specific types of corruption or corruption in particular social spheres, such as politics, religion, education, health care, and law enforcement. Proposals should include a component focusing on upcoming elections in March 2012 and building upon lessons learned during the December 2011 elections. In addition, proposals should include a financial sustainability component to assist participating media outlets, bloggers, etc., to improve their long-term viability. Proposals should address potential interference/obstacles in regards to program implementation and offer contingency planning to ensure the safety of participants. b. Improving Access to Justice in the North Caucasus - DRL's objective is to impede the cycle of human rights abuses, violent extremism, and authoritarian responses in the North Caucasus through support of access to justice. Proposals should be mindful of how the cycle of repression and violence in the North Caucausus impacts the rights of vulnerable or marginalized groups, especially women, but also journalists, independent activists, ethnic and religious minorities, LGBT individuals, and those with disabilities. Proposals should address one or more of the following themes: - Expanding civil society's capacity to facilitate access to justice for citizens; - Raising citizens' ability to access legal services; - Increasing citizens' knowledge of protections provided by Russian and international law in regards to human rights; - Developing citizens' understanding of the role of universal human rights in an Islamic context. 2. Balkans a. Balkans Regional: DRL's objective is to decrease intolerance/discrimination based on identity (e.g. ethnicity, language, religion, disabilities) among young people in the Balkans, and to promote cross-border, interethnic understanding and dialogue among youth in the region and within national boundaries. DRL seeks proposals that enhance reconciliation and inclusion efforts among various majority and minority communities affected by recent conflict; and impart the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for effective and responsible participation in democratic societies. Activities should promote constructive and inclusive relations among members of ethnic, religious, linguistic and other marginalized groups. Proposals must include participants from three or more Balkan countries (specifically including Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo) and include youths from a range of ethnic, religious, cultural or other marginalized communities.

	Major Research Instrumentation Program: Instrument Acquisition or Development		NSF 11-503
	National Science Foundation (NSF)	All deadlines have passed	Show Details (+) Hide Details (-)
	An unfunded collaboration does not count against the submission limit. Inclusion as a funded subawardee on a development proposal at a level in excess of 20% of the total budget request from NSF, or on any acquisition proposal, will be counted against an organization's proposal submission limit. However, if a subaward to an organization in a development proposalis 20% or less of the proposal's total budget request from NSF, the subawardee's submission limit will not be affected. For subawards within a linked collaborative proposal, the 20% threshold applies to the budget request from NSF in the proposal containing the subaward(s), not to the combined budget request from NSF for the collaborative project.

Title Major Research Instrumentation Program: Instrument Acquisition or Development Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) serves to increase access to shared scientific and engineering instruments for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education, museums, science centers, and not-for-profit organizations. This program especially seeks to improve the quality and expand the scope of research and research training in science and engineering, by providing shared instrumentation that fosters the integration of research and education in research-intensive learning environments. Development and acquisition of research instrumentation for shared inter- and/or intra-organizational use are encouraged, as are development efforts that leverage the strengths of private sector partners to build instrument development capacity at academic institutions. To accomplish these goals, the MRI program assists with the acquisition or development of shared research instrumentation that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. Instruments are expected to be operational for regular research use by the end of the award period. For the purposes of the MRI program, proposals must be for either acquisition or development of a single instrument or for equipment that, when combined, serves as an integrated research instrument (physical or virtual). The MRI program does not support the acquisition or development of a suite of instruments to outfit research laboratories/facilities or to conduct independent research activities simultaneously. Further guidance on appropriate requests can be found in the MRI Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) at http://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/mri. Instrument acquisition or development proposals that request funds from NSF in the range $100,000-$4 million will be accepted from all eligible organizations. Proposals that request funds from NSF less than $100,000 will also be accepted from all eligible organizations for the disciplines of mathematics or social, behavioral and economic sciences and from non-Ph.D.-granting institutions of higher education for all NSF-supported disciplines. More Information http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2011/nsf11503/nsf11503.htm Submission Limits If three proposals are submitted, at least one of the proposals must be for instrument development (i.e., no more than two proposals may be for instrument acquisition). To ensure a balanced instrumentation award portfolio at diverse organizations, across varied research topics, and in support of a broadly inclusive science and engineering workforce across the entire Nation, the MRI program requires that an MRI-eligible organization may, as a performing organization, submit or be included as a significantly funded1 subawardee in no more than three MRI proposals. To promote instrumentation development, the program requires that if an organization submits or is included as a significantly funded1 subawardee in three MRI proposals, at least one of the three proposals must be for instrument development. NSF reserves the right to carefully examine development proposals to ensure that they meet the requirements for this proposal type (see Section II). If a proposal submitted as development is deemed to be an acquisition proposal, the proposal will be returned without review if any of the organizations involved have already submitted two acquisition proposals. Cost Sharing: Cost-sharing at the level of 30% of the total project cost is required for Ph.D.-granting institutions of higher education and for non-degree-granting organizations. Non-Ph.D.-granting institutions of higher education are exempt from the cost-sharing requirement.
