Title Summer Stipends Agencies National Foundation for the Arts and the Humanities (NFAH) Description Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to scholars and general audiences in the humanities. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly tools. Summer Stipends support full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two months. Summer Stipends support projects at any stage of development. Summer Stipends are awarded to individual scholars. Organizations are not eligible to apply. Applications may address the holdings or activities of a single institution or may involve collaboration. In all cases, projects should be designed to facilitate sharing, exchange, and interoperability of humanities information and products. As a taxpayer-supported federal agency, NEH endeavors to make the products of its awards available to the broadest possible audience. NEH's goal is for scholars, educators, students, and the American public to have ready and easy access to the wide range of NEH grant products. For the Summer Stipends program, such products may include digital tools, websites, and the like. For projects that lead to the development of websites, all other considerations being equal, NEH gives preference to those that provide free access to the public. The Summer Stipends program accepts applications from researchers, teachers, and writers, whether they have an institutional affiliation or not. Applicants with college or university affiliations must, however, be nominated by their institutions. Only individual applicants are eligible to apply for Summer Stipends. All applicants must have completed their formal education by the application deadline. While applicants need not have advanced degrees, individuals currently enrolled in a degree-granting program are ineligible to apply. Graduate students seeking support for a degree in the humanities should consider the Department of Education's Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program. Applicants who have satisfied all the requirements for a degree and are awaiting its conferral may apply, but such applicants need a letter from the dean of the conferring school, attesting to the applicant's status as of October 1, 2009. All U.S. citizens, whether they reside inside or outside the United States, are eligible to apply. Foreign nationals who have been living in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years immediately preceding the application deadline are also eligible. Individuals who have held a major fellowship or research grant or its equivalent within the last three academic years prior to the deadline are ineligible. A "major fellowship or research grant" is a postdoctoral research award that provides a stipend of at least $15,000. Sabbaticals and grants from an individual's own institution and stipends and grants from other sources supporting study and research during the summer are not considered major fellowships. Recipients of a Summer Stipend in 2005 or after are ineligible. Individuals who have received Summer Stipends prior to 2005 may apply to support a new stage in their projects. These applications do not receive special consideration and will be judged by the same criteria as others in the competition. However, NEH will ask evaluators to review the accomplishments from the prior Summer Stipends award and determine if the project warrants additional support. Faculty members teaching full-time at colleges and universities must be nominated by their institutions to apply for a Summer Stipend. Once faculty members are nominated by their institutions, they may submit their applications via Grants.gov. The following individuals may apply online without a nomination: 1. Independent scholars not affiliated with a college or university 2. College and university staff members who are not faculty members and will not be teaching during the academic year preceding the award tenure 3. Adjunct faculty, part-time faculty, and applicants with academic appointments that terminate by the summer of the award tenure Applicants may not receive both an NEH Summer Stipend and an NEH Fellowship (or an NEH Faculty Research Award, or an NEH Fellowship for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan) in the same federal fiscal year (October 1, 2009, through September 30, 2010). Individuals may not apply for a Summer Stipend and a Teaching Development Fellowship in a given calendar year. More Information http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/stipends.html Submission Limits Each college and university in the United States and its jurisdictions may nominate two faculty members. Any faculty member is eligible for nomination. Each institution must announce its nominating procedures to all prospective applicants. Prospective applicants should become familiar with their institution's nomination procedures before the October 1 application deadline. Cost Sharing: NEH Summer Stipends do not require cost sharing.

Title Math and Science Partnership (MSP) - NSF 09-507 Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description The MSP program is a major research and development effort that supports innovative partnerships to improve K-12 student achievement in mathematics and science. MSP projects are expected to raise the achievement levels of all students and significantly reduce achievement gaps in the mathematics and science performance of diverse student populations. In order to improve the mathematics and science achievement of the United States' students, MSP projects contribute to what is known in mathematics and science education and serve as models that have a sufficiently strong evidence/research base to improve the mathematics and science education outcomes for all students. NSF's MSP program coordinates its effort with the Mathematics and Science Partnerships program of the U.S. Department of Education in the expectation that effective innovations in mathematics and science education will be disseminated into wider practice. The two programs are significant components of the America COMPETES Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-69). Through this solicitation, NSF seeks to support five types of MSP awards plus EHR-wide projects: 1. Targeted Partnerships focus on studying and solving teaching and learning issues within a specific grade range or at a critical juncture in education, and/or within a specific disciplinary focus in mathematics or the sciences. 2. Institute Partnerships - Teacher Institutes for the 21st Century focus on meeting national needs for teacher leaders/master teachers who have deep knowledge of disciplinary content for teaching and are fully prepared to be school- or district-based intellectual leaders in mathematics or the sciences. 3. MSP-Start Partnerships are for awardees new to the MSP program, especially from minority-serving institutions, community colleges and primarily undergraduate institutions, to support the necessary data analysis, project design, evaluation and team building activities needed to develop a full MSP Targeted or Institute Partnership. 4. Phase II Partnerships for prior MSP Partnership awardees focus on specific innovative areas of their work where evidence of the potential for significant positive impact is clearly documented. The intent is that focused efforts carry out the necessary research to advance knowledge and understanding in the specific area(s). 5. Research, Evaluation and Technical Assistance (RETA) projects directly support the work of the Partnerships by conducting methodologically rigorous studies of the impacts of MSP activities on student or teacher learning. Longitudinal and cross-site studies are particularly encouraged as are those that test innovative methodologies. 6. Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) projects enable faculty, administrators, and others in institutions to think and act strategically about the creative integration of NSF-funded awards, with particular emphasis on awards managed through programs in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), but not limited to those awards. For Fiscal Year 2009, proposals are being solicited in nine EHR programs that advance I3 goals: Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST), Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE), Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST), Alliances for Broadening Participation in STEM: Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP), Math and Science Partnership (MSP), Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, Research in Disabilities Education (RDE), and Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP). All proposals submitted to I3 through these programs have a common due date and will be reviewed in competition with one another. More Information http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2009/nsf09507/nsf09507.htm?govDel=USNSF_25 Submission Limits An institution of higher education, non-profit organization or consortia of such institutions or organizations may be the Lead partner in only one proposal per Partnership category - Targeted, Institute, MSP-Start, or Phase II. Organizations may be a non-Lead partner on more than one proposal. For this competition, an institution of higher education and its institutionally affiliated foundation or research foundation are considered to be the same organization. A central organization that acts as fiscal agent for multiple institutions in a university system is not considered to be the same as the individual colleges and universities that are part of the system, and may act as fiscal agent for one or more proposals submitted in response to this solicitation. Any proposal to the MSP Program should be a single submission that includes support for all partners that are requesting funding from NSF. An institution may submit a single proposal to the I3 competition. This limit is in addition to any limits a program has on non-I3 proposals.
