Title
NEA Mayors' Institute on City Design 25th Anniversary Statement of Interest - 2010NEAMICD
Agencies
National Foundation for the Arts and the Humanities (NFAH)
Description
Since 1986, the Mayors' Institute on City Design®(MICD) has helped transform communities through design by preparing mayors to be the chief urban designers of their cities. To build on the momentum created by the MICD over its history, the Arts Endowment is announcing the NEA Mayors' Institute on City Design 25th Anniversary Initiative which will award a limited number of grants to showcase and celebrate the goals of the MICD during its anniversary in 2011.
MICD mayors know that the arts and culture contribute greatly as core components in building livable and sustainable communities. They have discovered that the art of place-making contributes to their communities' economic and cultural vitality. MICD mayors also know first-hand that through design and involvement with the arts and cultural activities, citizens engage in a celebration of place and make their communities dynamic places to live and work.
The Arts Endowment plans to support a variety of diverse projects, across the country in communities of all sizes. Projects may include planning, design, and arts engagement activities such as:
Planning
1. The planning of arts districts.
2. The mapping of cultural assets and related developmental potential.
3. The promotion of the arts and artists as integral components of community life and essential to community planning.
4. The exploration of innovative approaches that maximize the economic growth of a community's creative sector.
Design
1. The promotion of design and the arts to enhance livability and as central components for the development and enhancement of new or existing public spaces - such as parks, public buildings, libraries, memorials, streets - through architecture, streetscapes, pedestrian bridges, neighborhood gateways, and sustainable parks and landscapes.
2. Design competitions or charettes (design workshops) for arts or cultural vitality projects.
3. The revitalization of neighborhoods that focuses on preserving the historic value and heritage of existing buildings and/or the adaptive reuse of structures to be used as cultural facilities or for mixed use purposes (i.e., for cultural facilities and other entities). This includes affordable housing for artists and others, artist studios or live/work space, and entrepreneurial new creative sector business development.
Arts Engagement
1. The transformation of community sites into public spaces for cultural activities.
2. Projects which contribute to cultural vitality and a sense of place such as innovative community engagement projects, including festivals, community-wide celebrations, outdoor exhibitions, and learning opportunities; and the commissioning of temporary and/or permanent site-specific public art such as murals and sculptures, sculpture gardens, and waterfront art walks.
3. New media or technology projects that connect citizens to cultural activities or engage them in participating in city planning or design projects.
All phases of a project - planning, development, design, and implementation - are eligible for support. Applicants generally should limit their projects to a single phase. Note: The Arts Endowment does not fund the construction, purchase, or renovation of facilities. (Pre-development, design fees, and community planning are eligible; however, no Arts Endowment or matching funds may be directed to the costs of physical construction or renovation or toward the purchase costs of facilities or land.) In addition, applicants may be requested to provide information to the Arts Endowment in response to specific questions in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and/or the National Historic Preservation Act. Sub-granting or re-granting activity also is not eligible.
More Information
http://www.arts.gov/grants/apply/MICD25/index.html
Submission Limits
For projects that involve multiple organizations, one organization that meets the eligibility requirements above must act as the official applicant, submit the application, and assume full responsibility for the grant. Each city is limited to one Statement of Interest and, if invited to apply, one application.

Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) NIST Boulder - Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory (CSTL) - 2010-SURF-B-01
Agencies
National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)
Description
The SURF NIST Boulder Programs are soliciting applications for FY 2010. The SURF programs will provide an opportunity for the NIST laboratories and the Nationalont> Science Foundation (NSF) to join in a partnership to encourage outstanding undergraduate students to pursue careers in science and engineering. The program will provide research opportunities for students to work with internationally known NIST scientists, to expose them to cutting-edge research and promote the pursuit of graduate degrees in science and engineering. The objective of the SURF programs is to build a mutually beneficial relationship among the student, the institution, and NIST. NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve the USA's quality of life. NIST embodies a science culture, developed from a large and well-equipped research staff that enthusiastically blends programs that address the immediate needs of industry with longer-term research that anticipates future needs. This occurs in few other places and enables the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Lab (EEEL), the Chemical Science and Technology Lab (CSTL), the Physics Lab (PL), the Materials Science and Engineering Lab (MSEL), and the Information Technology Lab (ITL) to offer unique research and training opportunities for undergraduates, providing them a research-rich environment and exposure to state-of-the-art equipment.
NIST's CSTL strives to be a world-class research laboratory that is recognized by the nation as the primary source for the chemical, biochemical, and chemical engineering measurements, data, models, and reference standards that are required to enhance U.S. industrial competitiveness in the world market. CSTL is the primary reference laboratory for chemical measurements, entrusted with developing, maintaining, advancing, and enabling the chemical measurement system for the USA, thereby enhancing industry's productivity and competitiveness, establishing comparability of measurements to facilitate equity of global trade, and improving public health, safety, and environmental quality. CSTL's activities include: transportation, biomaterials, biotechnology, chemical and allied products, energy systems, environmental technology and systems, health and medical products and services, industrial and analytical instruments and services, forensics, microelectronics, food and nutritional products, international measurement standards, data and informatics, and emerging technologies (nanotechnology, molecular electronics, microfluidics, and combinatorial chemistry).
SURF NIST Boulder students will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with the USA's top scientists and engineers. It is anticipated that successful SURF students will move from a position of reliance on guidance from their research advisors to one of research independence during the fellowship period. One goal of this partnership is to provide opportunities for the USA's next generation of scientists and engineers to engage in world-class scientific research at NIST, especially in ground-breaking areas of emerging technologies. This carries with it the hope of motivating individuals to pursue a doctorate in physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, mathematics, or computer science, and to consider research careers.

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 10 percent to provide a pool for new allocations at the beginning of the next fiscal year. The amount available for FY10-11 is estimated to be $48,000. The new programs are subject to the 10 percent decrease in the year following the allocation and every year thereafter.
Employment classifications which may be considered for this funding include University and Classified Staff in clerical, fiscal and laboratory 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 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 new center to support research activities
3) New lab tech/manager position to support newly opened facility
The associate deans for research and graduate studies’ group (CARS/CAGS) will be responsible for reviewing proposals for funding, and making a recommendation of awardees to the Associate Vice President for Research Programs.
