Title
Outstanding New Environmental Scientist award (ONES) (R01)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Description
In order to identify outstanding scientists at the formative stages of their career and assist them in launching an innovative research program with a defined impact in the environmental health sciences, the NIEHS has established a program of R01 research grants intended for researchers who have not received their first R01 research grant. It is designed to be highly competitive, and only a limited number are awarded per year.
Research programs supported by this announcement seek to promote career advancement of the most highly creative and promising new scientists who intend to make a long-term career commitment to research in the mainstream of the environmental health sciences, and bring innovative, ground-breaking research initiatives and thinking to bear on the problems of how environmental exposures affect human biology, human pathophysiology and human disease.
Research projects proposed in response to this FOA will be expected to have a defined impact on the environmental health sciences and be responsive to the mission of the NIEHS, which is distinguished from that of other Institutes by its focus on research programs seeking to link the effects of environmental exposures to the cause, mechanisms, moderation, or prevention of a human disease or disorder or relevant pathophysiologic process. For purposes of this announcement, all applications must focus on a specific human disease, dysfunction, pathophysiologic condition, or relevant human biologic process and propose to study a specific environmentally relevant toxicant. Examples of environmentally relevant toxicants include industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, fungal, and bacterial or biologically derived toxins.
Agents considered non-responsive to this announcement include, but are not limited to, alcohol; chemotherapeutic agents; radiation which is not a result of an ambient environmental exposure; smoking, except when considered as a secondary smoke exposure as a component in the indoor environment (particularly in children); drugs of abuse; pharmaceuticals; dietary nutrients; and infectious or parasitic agents, except when these are disease co-factors to an environmental toxicant exposure to produce the biological effect.
Applications which propose to study only model compounds must provide a clear, reasonable and specific description as to how research on the model compound will lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in responses to specific environmental agents which are included in the mission responsibility of the NIEHS. The peer review committee will assess whether or not the applicant has made sufficient justification to study the model compound.
Ecologic, biomonitoring, biotransformation, environmental engineering or biodegradation studies are also not responsive, except when these elements are incidental to the study of the disease endpoint.

Career Awards for Medical Sciences (CAMS)
Agencies
Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF)
Description
This CAMS program is the result of the reformulation of the Career Awards in the Biomedical Sciences (CABS), which was instituted by the BWF in 1995 and ran through the 2006 award year. In response to the NIH's K99/R00 Pathway to Independence program, which was modeled after the CABS award, BWF has shifted the focus of the CABS program to address the ongoing problem of increasing the number of physician scientists and keeping them in research. BWF believes that this bridging award, supporting the last year(s) of a mentored position in addition to supporting the beginning years of an independent position, will facilitate the transition to a career in research and buy time from service commitments. The CAMS program provides financial support to bridge advanced postdoctoral/fellowship training and the early years of faculty service. Proposals must be in the area of basic biomedical, disease oriented, translational, or molecular, genetic, or pharmacological epidemiology research. Proposals that are in the area of epidemiology should contact BWF to determine the eligibility of the proposal. Proposals in health services research or involving large-scale clinical trials are ineligible. Award recipients are required to devote at least 75 percent of their time to research-related activities.

Title
Science and Technology Centers: Integrative Partnerships
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Science and Technology Centers (STC): Integrative Partnerships program supports innovative, potentially transformative, complex research and education projects that require large-scale, long-term awards. STCs conduct world-class research through partnerships among academic institutions, national laboratories, industrial organizations, and/or other public/private entities, and via international collaborations, as appropriate. They provide a means to undertake important investigations at the interfaces of disciplines and/or fresh approaches within disciplines. STC investments support the NSF vision of advancing discovery, innovation and education beyond the frontiers of current knowledge, and empowering future generations in science and engineering.
Centers provide a rich environment for encouraging future scientists, engineers, and educators to take risks in pursuing discoveries and new knowledge. STCs foster excellence in education by integrating education and research, and by creating bonds between learning and inquiry so that discovery and creativity fully support the learning process.
NSF expects STCs to demonstrate leadership in the involvement of groups traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering at all levels within the Center. To achieve their diversity objectives, STCs are expected to involve individuals from underrepresented groups as members of the Center faculty, and as students actively engaged in Center activities. STCs are strongly encouraged to form meaningful, substantive and long-term partnerships with minority-serving institutions, women's colleges and institutions serving students with disabilities, thereby providing formal connections with institutions that serve large populations of underrepresented students interested in STEM.
Centers undertake activities that will facilitate knowledge transfer, i.e., the mutual exchange of scientific and technical information among the Center partners and others with the objective of disseminating and utilizing knowledge broadly in multiple sectors.
To date, five competitions have been held to establish NSF Science and Technology Centers. The first two competitions, one in the late 1980's and one in the early 1990's, led to the establishment of 25 Science and Technology Centers, which are no longer funded as NSF centers. A third competition for Science and Technology Centers: Integrative Partnerships was held in 1999 and resulted in five new Centers. A fourth competition resulted in six new Centers in 2002. The fifth and most recent competition, in FY 2005, added six centers.

Clinical Scientist Awards in Translational Research
Agencies
Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF)
Description
The program's goal is to foster the development and productivity of established independent physician-scientists who will strengthen translational research through their own studies as well as by mentoring physician-scientist trainees. The awards are intended to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to explore fundamental scientific questions, to apply the resulting knowledge at the bedside, and to bring insights from the clinical setting back to the laboratory for further exploration. BWF hopes these efforts will lead to a better understanding of disease mechanisms and to new methods of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease. BWF is interested particularly in supporting investigators who will bring novel ideas and new approaches to translational research. Proposed activities may draw on recent advances in the basic biomedical sciences--including such fields as biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, immunology, molecular biology, and pharmacology--that provide a wealth of opportunities for studying and alleviating human disease. For the purposes of BWF's award, translational research may involve studies in these broad areas:
1. Etiology, pathogenesis, and mechanisms of disease (particularly studies with direct application to disease prevention and treatment).
2. Clinical knowledge, improved diagnosis (including development of new biomarkers, diagnostic methods, or devices), natural history of disease, and biomedical informatics. This includes the use of large clinical and genomic datasets for the purpose of generating and testing hypotheses.
3. Disease management (including therapeutics aimed at molecular targets), molecular epidemiology, and limited small-scale clinical studies involving `first-in-humans' testing of novel approaches.
Large-scale clinical trials, epidemiological or outcome studies, and health services research are not eligible for support.
With appropriate justification, award recipients may use the award to support a sabbatical of up to one year at another institution or in a different department at their home institution in order to acquire new research skills (e.g., in molecular biology, genetics, biomedical informatics, or clinical experimental design) that are directly related to their research.
Award recipients must devote at least 75 percent of their time to research-related activities.

Bridges to the Doctorate Program (R25)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Description
The Bridges to the Future Program (Bridges to Baccalaureate and Bridges to Doctorate) was created in response to Public Law 106-525, which recognized a national need for increasing the number of well-trained minority scientists in the fields of biomedical, clinical, behavioral and health services research. This statute also recognized that the inclusion of underrepresented minorities and women in the scientific, technological and engineering workforce would enable the nation to better improve the health of the people of the United States and eliminate health disparities in the nation.
To accomplish these goals, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) and the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) are jointly providing funding opportunities under the Bridges to the Future Program to increase the transfer rates of students from targeted groups/populations from associate to baccalaureate degree-granting institutions and from master's to doctoral degree-granting institutions; and to increase the graduation rates of these transfer students with baccalaureate and Ph.D. degrees, respectively, in biomedical and behavioral sciences.
The Bridges to the Future Program anticipates that an increase in transfer and graduation rates of students from targeted groups/populations will strengthen the supply of biomedical and behavioral science graduates at key points of the educational pathway, a necessary first step in increasing diversity in professional personnel investigating health disparities.
To facilitate the transfer and graduation of students, the Bridges to Doctorate Program promotes inter-institutional partnerships/consortia between institutions granting a terminal master's degree and institutions that grant Ph.D. degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences. The program expects that the joint efforts of Ph.D. degree-granting and master's degree-granting institutions will foster the development of a well-integrated institutional program that will provide students from targeted groups/populations with the necessary academic preparation and skills to enable their transition and successful completion of Ph.D. degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences. Since an effective partnership/consortium requires considerable effort and resources, the proposed partnership/consortium should be composed of no more than three institutions, including the applicant institution. An eligible institution may participate in only one Bridges to the Doctorate partnership/consortium.

International Materials Institutes (IMI)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The National Science Foundation supports International Materials Institutes (IMIs) in order to enhance international collaboration between U.S. researchers and educators and their counterparts worldwide. These Institutes advance fundamental materials research by coordinating international research and education projects involving condensed matter and materials physics, solid state and materials chemistry, polymers, metals, ceramics, electronic materials, biomaterials and, in general, the design, synthesis, and characterization of and phenomena in materials to meet global and regional needs. The Institutes must be university-based and provide a research environment that will attract leading scientists and engineers. The Institutes' long term goal is the creation of a worldwide network in materials research and the development of a generation of scientists and engineers with enhanced international leadership capabilities. A critically important aspect of an IMI is its potential impact on advancing materials research on an international scale and developing an internationally competitive generation of materials researchers, and this distinguishes an IMI from other materials research centers that NSF supports.
Representative activities of an IMI may include, for example: identifying areas of important and innovative research for joint collaborative programs; organizing and coordinating international exchange programs; establishing mechanisms for long-term international collaborations among academia, industrial and government agencies and laboratories; organizing international workshops on materials research and education, and coordinating international research experiences for students and postdoctoral scholars; developing internet-based resources with video capabilities for international conferencing and learning; developing and supporting a materials research network that will provide access to research and education resources, such as searchable databases, publications, facilities, instruments, and experts; enhancing global public awareness of economic and societal contributions by materials researchers; and partnering with states, private foundations, industry, national laboratories, international organizations, other universities, centers, and national facilities to accomplish the stated goals of the IMI.
Through the new Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) initiative, NSF is committed to development and deployment of tools and techniques for remote collaboration, sharing of data, remote control of instrumentation, and development of virtual organizations that are not constrained by geography. NSF also recognizes the importance of cyber-tools for promoting and maintaining partnerships that transcend national boundaries. The IMI program is especially well-positioned to benefit from the ideas embodied in CDI and IMI proposals that incorporate those ideas are encouraged.
