Title
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.

Regional Centers of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases Research (RCE) (U54)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Description
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is continuing the Regional Centers of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases Research (RCE) Program. The overall goal of the RCE Program is to establish and maintain strong infrastructure and multifaceted research and development activities to provide scientific information and translational research capacity that will facilitate the next generation of therapeutics, diagnostics, and vaccines against the NIAID Category A-C Priority Pathogens and emerging infectious disease (EID) agents.
To realize this goal, the centers will be provided with support to
- develop and conduct programs of investigator-directed research;
- train researchers and other personnel for biodefense and emerging infectious diseases research activities;
- develop and maintain core facilities that support the research and training activities of the RCE;
- make available these core facilities to qualified investigators from academia, biotechnology companies, the pharmaceutical industry, and other appropriate entities in the geographic region;
- develop translational research capacity for testing and validating vaccine, diagnostic, and therapeutic concepts for biodefense and emerging infectious diseases; and
- be prepared and available to provide facilities and scientific support to first-line responders in the event of a national biodefense or EID emergency.
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites research institutions and groups of investigators to form consortia to develop and submit new or renewal applications for programs that address fundamental research and development questions that are expected to yield the information required to counter the threat of bioterrorism and EID. Diverse research and development approaches are encouraged, as long as they include a research focus on the NIAID Category A-C Priority Pathogens and EID agents. Applications may focus solely on biodefense or may include a mix of biodefense and EID.
Examples of relevant research areas include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
1. Basic biology of less well studied NIAID Category A-C Priority Pathogens and EID agents
2. Mechanisms of pathogenesis, with emphasis on the less well studied agents
3. Basic aspects of the innate and adaptive immune responses
4. Rapid, sensitive, and specific approaches for detection and identification for use in a clinical setting
5. Target identification for diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines, including assay development
6. Development of new animal models for pathogenesis studies, for therapeutics and vaccine evaluation, and for rapid diagnostic studies
7. Preclinical studies to facilitate translation of research findings into clinical interventions
8. Testing through small phase 1 clinical trials of potential therapeutics, diagnostics, and vaccines
At this time, studies on Bacillus anthracis, orthopox viruses, and influenza are well represented within the NIAID research portfolio. Investigators are encouraged to focus on other Category A, B, and C Priority Pathogens and EID agents, unless presenting exceptionally novel and unique concepts relating to these agents. In addition, research on zoonotic diseases may be supported if it is relevant to the biology, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease in humans.

MARC Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research, Institutional National Research Service Award (NRSA) Research Training Grant (T34)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Description
The overall goal of the National Research Service Award (NRSA) Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U-STAR) program is to increase the number of scientists from underrepresented groups engaged in biomedical/behavioral research. The program will do this by providing support for the research training of undergraduate science/math students from minority-serving institutions to prepare them to pursue Ph.D. degrees and future careers in biomedical and behavioral research.
MARC U-STAR research training programs are designed to permit the applicant institution to select trainees and develop a curriculum of study and research experiences necessary to provide high quality research training. The MARC U-STAR program provides support for the trainees, who are appointed for the last two years of their undergraduate education, typically called the junior and senior years, to enable them to be fully engaged in the training experience. The MARC program also provides support to enable the institution to improve its educational and research outcomes by strengthening the science curriculum, by providing a variety of student development research training program related activities, and by improving the pedagogical skills of the faculty.
The incorporation of interdisciplinary approaches to analyze problems in biological sciences, participation of students in independent library or laboratory research, self-directed learning opportunities, the promotion of critical thinking, the implementation of innovative teaching, novel learning strategies, and activities that increase the development of students in the preparation of research careers are examples of activities that could be supported. The MARC U-STAR program should be viewed as a four or five-year institutional training activity even though financial support to individual trainees is limited to 24 months or the final two undergraduate years.
