Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
The Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) program was created in response to a legislative mandate to "increase the numbers of underrepresented minority faculty, investigators, and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, and to broaden the opportunities for underrepresented minority faculty and students for participation in biomedical and behavioral research". To accomplish this goal, the Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) program seeks to facilitate and promote, at research institutions with significant number of mentors with National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other extramural research support, the entry into biomedical or behavioral research fields of undergraduate and graduate students from groups underrepresented in these fields. The program provides institutional support for existing or innovative student development activities, including research internships, that will increase students' knowledge, skills, and information as they move to more advanced levels and ultimately attain the Ph.D. degree in biomedical or behavioral research fields.

Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) Instrument Development and Acquisition Solicitation
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) is designed to improve the condition of scientific and engineering equipment for research and research training in the nation's academic institutions.
This program seeks to improve the quality and expand the scope of research and research training in science and engineering, and to foster the integration of research and education by providing instrumentation for research-intensive learning environments. The MRI program encourages the development and acquisition of research instrumentation for shared inter- or intra-organizational use and in concert with private sector partners.
The MRI program assists in the acquisition or development of major research instrumentation by organizations that is, in general, too costly for support through other NSF programs. Proposals may be for a single instrument, a large system of instruments, or multiple instruments that share a common or specific research focus.
More Information

Submission Limits
An institution may submit up to three proposals: at least one of three proposals submitted from an institution must be for instrument development. However, all three proposals may be for instrument development.

Active Nanostructures and Nanosystems (ANN)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces a program on collaborative research and education in the area of active nanostructures and nanosystems, and on the long-term social change associated with these innovations. The goal of this program is to support fundamental research and catalyze synergistic science and engineering research and education in several emerging areas of nanoscale science and technology, including: fundamental nanoscale phenomena and processes in active nanostructures; nanosystems with improved functionality and new architectures; hierarchical nanomanufacturing; and long-term societal and educational implications of scientific and technological advances on the nanoscale. This solicitation will provide support for Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT) and Nanoscale Exploratory Research (NER).
A related program solicitation will focus on Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) for FY 2006. Other research and education projects in nanoscale science and engineering will continue to be supported in the relevant Programs and Divisions
Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT): NIRT proposals may be submitted by a single organization or a group of organizations consisting of a lead organization in partnership with one or more partner organizations. Principal investigators are encouraged to form synergistic collaborations among researchers, and with private and public sector organizations, government laboratories, and scientists and engineers at foreign organizations where appropriate, though no funds will be provided to those organizations. At least three PIs and co-PIs, all with funded time committed in the budget, must be listed on the cover page or on the budget page of the proposal. The maximum number of PIs and co-PIs is five; other participants may be listed in the project summary and on the budget pages.
Nanoscale Exploratory Research (NER): Proposals may be submitted by U.S. academic institutions with undergraduate and/or Ph.D. programs in disciplines usually supported by NSF. Research may be proposed by individual investigators or by small groups from academic institutions. Synergistic collaborations among researchers, and collaborations or partnerships with private or public sector organizations or government laboratories are encouraged when appropriate. Prospective proposers are encouraged to contact one of the program officers listed in this solicitation for additional guidance on the suitability of their NER submission if there are questions.
