All grants require a nonfederal match of at least one to one. An organization may request a grant amount from $5,000 to $150,000. Most grant awards will range from $10,000 to $100,000. Few grants will be awarded below $10,000; grants of $100,000 or more will be made only in rare instances, and only for projects that the Arts Endowment determines demonstrate exceptional national or regional significance and impact. In developing an application, the Arts Endowment urges all applicants to consider the level of recent awards and to request a realistic grant amount. Applicants should review the lists of grants on the Arts Endowment's website to see recent grant award levels and project types. In the past few years, well over half of the agency's grants have been for amounts less than $25,000.
Applicants whose grants are recommended for less than the amount that is requested may be asked to revise the project budget. The Arts Endowment reserves the right to limit its support of a project

Title
Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI-R2) Recovery and Reinvestment
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) serves to increase access to shared scientific and engineering instruments for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education, museums and science centers, and not-for-profit organizations. This program especially seeks to improve the quality and expand the scope of research and research training in science and engineering, by providing shared instrumentation that fosters the integration of research and education in research-intensive learning environments. Development and acquisition of research instrumentation for shared inter- and/or intra-organization use are encouraged, as are development efforts that leverage the strengths of private sector partners to build instrument development capacity at academic institutions.
To accomplish these goals, the MRI program assists with the acquisition or development of shared research instrumentation that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. For the purposes of the MRI Program, proposals must be for either acquisition or development (see Section II.A.2). Instruments are expected to be operational for regular research use by the end of the award period. A key recommendation of a 2006 National Academies report on �Advanced Research Instrumentation and Facilities� (ARIF) was that the NSF should expand the MRI program so that it includes �mid-scale� instrumentation whose capital costs are greater than $2 million, but with costs that are not appropriate for NSF�s Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction account. As a result of the enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, NSF is holding a competition that is separate from the regular MRI competition. For this MRI-R2 competition only, proposals will be accepted for instrument development or for acquisition of a single instrument or a system of related instruments that share a common or specific research focus in the range $100,000-$6 million from Ph.D.-granting institutions of higher education and non-degree-granting organizations; up to $6 million (there is no minimum request) from non-Ph.D.-granting institutions of higher education or the disciplines of mathematical sciences or social, behavioral, and economic sciences at any eligible organization.
More Information
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2009/nsf09561/nsf09561.htm?govDel=USNSF_25#mri1
Submission Limits
*
Eligible organizations1 may submit a maximum of three (3) proposals, independent of the number of proposals that may have been submitted under the NSF 09-502 MRI competition. However, proposals that wholly or substantially duplicate those that were accepted for review under
NSF 09-502 will not be accepted for this competition. A maximum of two submissions can be for instrument acquisition. If three proposals are submitted, at least one submission must be for instrument development.
*
An organization may be included as a funded subawardee/subcontractor in another organization's development proposal, at a level of 20% or less of that proposal's budget, without affecting the subawardee's/subcontractor's submission limit. Inclusion as a funded subawardee/subcontractor in a development proposal at a budgetary level in excess of 20%, or in any acquisition proposal, must be counted against proposal submission limits.
*
Proposal budgets may include requests from NSF in the range $100,000-$6 million from Ph.D.-granting institutions of higher education and non-degree granting organizations; up to $6 million (there is no minimum request) from non-Ph.D. granting institutions of higher education or the disciplines of mathematical sciences or social, behavioral, and economic sciences at any eligible organization.

Title
Academic Research Infrastructure Program: Recovery and Reinvestment (ARI-R2)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
Scientific discoveries are emerging at an accelerated pace, presenting new frontiers for exploration, stimulating innovation and economic growth, and driving the development of new tools and systems to support research. Likewise, the convergence of disciplines and the cross-fertilization that characterized contemporary science and engineering have made collaboration a centerpiece of the 21st century science and engineering enterprise. As new scientific opportunities and processes have emerged, the Nation's research facility requirements have also evolved and changed. In 2005, NSF estimated that academic institutions then had at least $3.6 billion in deferred projects to repair and renovate science and engineering research facilities (FY05 Survey of Science and Engineering Research Facilities.) As a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, NSF will invest $200 million in the Nation's research facilities and research training infrastructure. This investment will advance the science and engineering research enterprise at many institutions.
The purpose of this program is to enhance the Nation's existing research facilities where sponsored and/or unsponsored research activities and research training take place to enable next-generation research infrastructure that integrates shared resources across user communities. Consistent with NSF's mission to strengthen the U.S. science and engineering enterprise, the ARI-R� program will:
* Update existing research facilities at institutions of higher education (including graduate and undergraduate institutions, among which are included community colleges) and other non-profit research organizations (e.g., independent research museums, independent research laboratories, and research consortia) in order to support research that can address the challenges of the 21st century.
* Enable academic departments, disciplinary and cross-disciplinary units, or multi-organization consortia to renovate research facilities through the addition or augmentation of cyberinfrastructure, other than general-purpose computing systems or data storage systems, to create environments that enhance research and integrate research with education.
* Improve access to and increase use of next-generation research facilities for researchers, educators and students.
* Assist research organizations, including those that have historically received limited Federal research and development funds, to improve their science and engineering research environments.

Title
Recovery Act - Demonstration of Integrated Biorefinery Operations (ARRA, Recovery Act)
Agencies
United States Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), announces a notice of availability of funding for financial assistance from the Office of the Biomass Program. DOE has funded biorefinery technology development projects since FY 2002 to meet two of the EERE performance goals, dramatically reduce, or even end, dependence on imported oil; and spur the creation of the domestic bioindustry. Due to the passage of the Recovery Act, this FOA replaces and expands upon the DE-PS36-09GO99038 FOA.
The intent of this FOA will be to select integrated biorefinery projects that have the necessary technical and economic performance data that validates their readiness for the next level of scale-up. In general, "integrated biorefineries" employ various combinations of feedstocks and conversion technologies to produce a variety of products, with the main focus on producing biofuels and bioproducts. Co- or by-products can include additional fuels, chemicals (or other materials), and heat and power.
For the purpose of this FOA, the term "integrated biorefinery" is a facility that uses an "acceptable feedstock" to produce a biofuel or bioproduct as the "primary product" and may produce other products including additional fuels, chemicals (or other materials), and heat and power as co-products. These integrated biorefineries would produce, as their primary product, a liquid transportation fuel that supports, depending on topic area, meeting the advanced, renewable or advanced biofuels portion of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) or, depending on topic area, a bioproduct that substitutes for petroleum-based feedstocks and products.
DOE encourages applications that propose novel or breakthrough technologies and those that include appropriate collaboration between and among industry, academia, and DOE National Laboratories, FFRDCs (Federally Funded Research and Development Centers) or other government-funded facilities. This FOA has six topic areas described below. Each topic area is related to beneficial use of renewable biomass for the production of liquid transportation biofuel(s) and bioproduct(s) that is/are a replacement for fossil derived liquid transportation fuels and petroleum-based chemicals.
Biobased chemicals and substitutes for petroleum-based feedstocks and products may be included as part of the integrated biorefinery process, provided that the applicant demonstrates that it has credible economics to prove the viability of the proposed biorefinery. An acceptable biofuel or bioproduct must be the primary product of the project proposed in the application. Applicants should note that the technology for producing heat and power by conventional means (e.g., stoker or fluidized bed boilers, co-firing with coal, etc.) is an established technology, and this FOA is designed to address the high technical risks associated primarily with converting biobased feedstocks to biofuels and bioproducts rather than to heat and power.
Hence, for this FOA, applications that propose biorefineries producing heat and power as the primary product would be considered non-responsive. Applicants may, however, propose projects producing heat and power resulting from a biorefinery if the production of an acceptable liquid transportation biofuel or bioproduct is the "primary product."
The six topic areas are as follows:
1. Topic Area 1 requests applicants to operate an integrated pilot-scale biorefinery in order to validate the technology; the proposed pilot-scale biorefinery must utilize an Acceptable Feedstock to produce an Acceptable Biofuel as defined for this Topic Area
2. Topic Area 2 requests applicants to operate an integrated pilot-scale biorefinery in order to validate the technology; the proposed pilot-scale biorefinery must utilize an Acceptable Feedstock to produce an Acceptable Bioproduct as defined for this Topic Area
3. Topic Area 3 requests that applicants design, construct and operate an integrated demonstration-scale biorefinery to validate the technology; the proposed demonstration-scale biorefinery must utilize an Acceptable Feedstock to produce an Acceptable Biofuel as defined for this Topic Area
4. Topic Area 4 requests that applicants design, construct and operate an integrated demonstration-scale biorefinery to validate the technology; the proposed demonstration-scale biorefinery must utilize an Acceptable Feedstock to produce an Acceptable Bioproduct as defined for this Topic Area
5. Topic Area 5 requests applicants to operate an integrated pilot-scale biorefinery in order to validate the technology; the proposed pilot-scale biorefinery must utilize an Acceptable Feedstock to produce and Acceptable Biofuel as defined for this Topic Area
6. Topic Area 6 requests that applicants design, construct and operate an integrated demonstration-scale biorefinery to validate the technology; the proposed demonstration-scale biorefinery must utilize an Acceptable Feedstock to produce an Acceptable Biofuel as defined for this Topic Area
The proposed biorefinery project must be located within the United States and use a feedstock from a domestic source.
More Information
http://www07.grants.gov/search/search.do?&mode=VIEW&flag2006=false&oppId=47227
Submission Limits
Each applicant may submit only one application to one, and only one, topic area (1 through 6) of this FOA. Each application must propose one, and only one, integrated biorefinery.
Cost Sharing:
Yes. Requirement is determined by topic area. See solicitation for details.

Title
Recovery Act Limited Competition: NCMHD Community Participation in Health Disparities Intervention Research Planning Phase (R24)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Description
The goal of this FOA is to support community-based participatory research (CBPR) in planning, implementing, evaluating and disseminating effective interventions for a disease or condition to reduce and eventually eliminate health disparities through partnerships between racial/ethnic minority populations, subpopulations, and other heath disparity populations and research investigators. This FOA invites applications using the NIH research-related research projects (R24) award mechanism.
CBPR is defined as scientific inquiry conducted in communities and in partnership with researchers. The process of scientific inquiry is such that community members, persons affected by the health condition, disability or issue under study, or other key stakeholders involved in the community's health have the opportunity to be full participants in each phase of the work (from conception - design - conduct - analysis - interpretation - conclusions - communication of results). CBPR is characterized by substantial community input in the development of the grant application (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/translat/cbpr/cbpr.htm).
For the purpose of this FOA, community refers to populations that may be defined by: geography, race, ethnicity, gender, illness, or other health condition, or to groups that have a common interest or cause, such as health or service agencies and organizations, health care or public health practitioners or providers, policy makers, or lay public groups with public health concerns. Community-based organizations refer to organizations that may be involved in the research process as members or representatives of the community. While not an exhaustive list, organizations as varied as Tribal governments and colleges, state or local governments, independent living centers, other educational institutions such as junior colleges, advocacy organizations, health delivery organizations (e.g., hospitals), health professional associations, non-governmental organizations, and federally qualified health centers are possible community partners.
In the NIH Health Disparities Strategic Plan, Fiscal Years 2004-2008, the health disparity populations are defined as racial and ethnic minority groups delineated within Section 1707(g), Public Law 106-25, as well as, populations with low socio-economic status and those living in rural areas. The racial and ethnic minority group refers to American Indians (including Alaska Natives, Eskimos, and Aleuts), Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, African Americans and Hispanics. The other health disparity populations are population groups who suffer health disparities when compared to the general population. (http://www.ncmhd.nih.gov)
NCMHD is interested in supporting intervention research studies using community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles to reduce and eventually eliminate health disparities in any disease or condition of major concern to the community (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, infant mortality, immunization) with emphasis on racial and ethnic minorities.
This FOA is inviting applications for a two-year planning grant proposal. The first six months of the first year of the grant are devoted to partnership development, community needs assessment, identifying the disease/condition for intervention research, and planning the intervention methodology with substantial input from the community. During the remaining 18 months of the grant award, a pilot intervention research study will be conducted with community participation.

Title
Recovery Act Limited Competition: NCMHD Exploratory Centers of Excellence (P20) (Recovery Act, ARRA)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Description
The NIH has received new funds for fiscal years (FYs) 2009 and 2010 as part of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act or ARRA). This is one of a number of NIH initiatives supported by that Recovery Act funding. This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD), invites grant applications from eligible institutions and organizations that propose to establish an Exploratory NCMHD Center of Excellence (COE). NCMHD COE awards provide funding for hiring staff, researchers, community members, and trainees with the goal of augmenting and expanding the capacity and infrastructure of the institution and community to engage in research improving the health of nation and for preparing the next generation of researchers. Activities should be proposed that will benefit from significant two-year funds without the expectation of continued NIH funding beyond two years. The activities supported by these NCMHD COE grants should have high short-term impact, and a high likelihood of enabling growth and investment in biomedical research and development, public health, and health care delivery. Applications are invited from institutions seeking support to (1) establish novel partnerships for community engagement/outreach efforts to eliminate health disparities, (2) establish new or enhance current research training infrastructure and capacity, including pipeline training programs, to prepare future biomedical, biobehavioral, and clinical researchers from minority, rural or low social and low economic status populations, and (3) to hire newly recruited faculty to develop a research project within the context of the NCMHD Centers of Excellence program. To be eligible for the COE in this FOA, applicant institutions are expected to have existing federal research support or research infrastructure as reflected in a level of NIH institutional funding of less than $80 million for the year 2008.
Each NCMHD Exploratory COE (P20) must contain two cores: a mandatory Administrative Core, and one additional core selected from the following: Community Engagement/Outreach Core or Research Training/Education Core or a Research Core. If a Research Core is proposed, a single research project must be proposed. NCMHD will only support a single research project.
