NSF GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATION (GK-12).
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
This program provides funding to graduate students in NSF- supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to acquire additional skills that will broadly prepare them for professional and scientific careers in the 21st century. Through interactions with teachers in K-12 schools, graduate students can improve communication and teaching skills while enriching STEM instruction in K-12 schools. Through this experience graduate students can gain a deeper understanding of their own scientific research. In addition, the GK-12 program provides institutions of higher education with an opportunity to make a permanent change in their graduate programs by incorporating GK-12 like activities in the training of their STEM graduate students. Expected outcomes include improved communication, teaching and team building skills for the fellows; professional development opportunities for K-12 teachers; enriched learning for K-12 students; and strengthened partnerships between institutions of higher education and local school districts.

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.

Submission Limits
An institution may submit only one application as the applicant institution in response to this FOA, but may participate in other RCE applications. A Principal Investigator (PI) may submit only one application in response to this FOA. A PI can serve as a collaborator on another application, provided there is no scientific overlap.

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.
