Title
NEA Challenge America Fast-Track, FY2013
Agencies
National Foundation for the Arts and the Humanities (NFAH)
Description
The Challenge America Fast-Track category offers support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations - those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. Age alone (e.g., youth, seniors) does not qualify a group as underserved; at least one of the underserved characteristics noted above also must be present. Grants are available for professional arts programming and for projects that emphasize the potential of the arts in community development.
This category supports focused, distinct projects that take place over limited periods of time and involve limited geographic areas. Such projects generally are smaller in scale and shorter in duration than those in the Art Works category.
All projects must extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations that have limited access to the arts due to geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. The involvement of professionally trained, experienced artists and arts professionals is essential.
Each applicant must present a simple, straightforward project that reflects only one of the project types below. This category encourages and supports the following two outcomes:
1. Engagement: Engaging the public with diverse and excellent art.
- An arts event or events that will feature one or more guest artists. The project (such as a festival, exhibit, recital, reading, performance, screening, broadcast, lecture) must include the participation of guest artist(s). Artistic staff and resident artists of an applicant organization do not qualify as guest artists. In addition to artists' fees, the project may include public relations, professional documentation, and program enhancements that are integral to the event. Examples of program enhancements include interpretive material, transportation, program accommodations (e.g., sign language interpretation, audio description, Braille, tactile exhibit tours), catalogues, brochures, or publications. Other enhancements such as specific lecture-demonstrations, pre- or post-event talks, or workshops relevant to the proposed arts event also are eligible. Note: Projects that involve curriculum-based arts instruction are not eligible (see Arts Education in the Arts Works category).
- The unified promotion of community-wide arts activities and resources to enhance cultural tourism or activities in cultural districts(including promoting the arts to underserved populations). Unified promotion is defined as the professional assessment, design, and/or distribution of public relations tools (calendars, websites, brochures, rack cards, signage, etc.) designed to benefit several local organizations. Note: Promotional projects for a single organization are not eligible.
- The development of professionally directed public art projects. This project type is for visual arts projects only (such as murals, sculptures, or environmental art) that are developed through community engagement. Evidence of community involvement in the planning, design, or fabrication of the work must be apparent.
2. Livability: The strengthening of communities through the arts. (Applicants are encouraged to contact staff if they are considering Livability as a primary outcome.)
- Design activities for new or existing cultural facilities or civic spaces. Projects may include the preliminary planning or design process for new cultural facilities or spaces, as well as the engagement of professional design services such as streetscapes, wayfinding signage, or landscape architecture. Work may consist of, but is not limited to, architectural studies, charrettes (design workshops), design competitions, or facility feasibility or predevelopment studies (including universal design projects and accessibility assessments). Activities also may include all design stages for the renovation, restoration, or adaptive reuse of existing structures to be used as cultural facilities. Funding is not available for fund raising, donor research, or actual renovation or construction costs.
- Applicants should note that certain types of Livability activities will require applicants to provide information in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and/or the National Historic Preservation Act.
- The anticipated long-term results for Livability projects are measurable community benefits, such as growth in overall levels of social and civic engagement; arts- or design-focused changes in policies, laws, and/or regulations; job and/or revenue growth for the community; and changes in in-and-out migration patterns.

Planning a Partnership Model for a Giant Segmented Mirror Telescope
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
Two major survey reports carried out by the National Academy of Sciences have identified the need for a Giant Segmented Mirror Telescope (GSMT) to address frontier astrophysical research questions in a wide array of subfields. This solicitation invites proposals to establish an initial framework for a U.S. community partnership in a proposed GSMT deriving from past, current, or potential future NSF support for design work, construction, instrumentation, and/or operations. Based on a detailed competitive review of the resulting proposals, an award will be made for further development of a public/private/international partnership model under a cooperative agreement between a GSMT project and NSF. During the award period, GSMT project management and representatives from NSF and the U.S. astronomical community are expected to refine the roles of NSF and the community in project development, engage in planning science and engineering operations, prepare for potential future Federal funding opportunities after the start of the next decade. Selection as an awardee in this process does not imply that a GSMT will be approved for further funding.

Title
Limited Competition: Planning Grants for Hubs of Interdisciplinary Research and Training in Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) (P20)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Description
This FOA is intended to support paired consortium exploratory awards led by one Low and Middle Income Country (LMIC) institution and one U.S. institution to plan research, research training, and curriculum development activities that address and inform priority national and regional environmental and occupational health policy issues. The ultimate goal of the FOA is to foster the planning for multidisciplinary Global Environmental and Occupational Health Hubs (GEOHealth Hubs), based in LMICs, that will lead collaborative research and training for focal environmental and occupational health issues in several core science areas, including fields such as epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, environmental science, industrial hygiene, systems science, toxicology, behavioral science, and implementation science. Focal environmental and occupational health areas, as well as core science areas, for each consortium will be selected by the applicants, building upon preexisting strengths within the proposed consortium and addressing priority public health needs in the region. These may include up to three focal areas including but not limited to
- indoor and outdoor air quality,
- water quality,
- workplace safety,
- occupational health,
- agricultural health, and
- climate change.
The FOA aims to enable LMIC researchers, in partnership with U.S. researchers, to conduct a needs and opportunities assessment, plan for policy-relevant research and training in environmental and occupational health, and foster partnerships that could be sustained in an anticipated full GEOHealth Hub program. The NIH anticipates the opportunity to compete for full grants to realize the results of this planning, with awards in 2014. This program is not intended to support research that can be conducted primarily in and/or by United States or other high income country institutions only.
Research must be conducted in World Bank designated LMICs in one of the following geographic regions:
1. East Asia and the Pacific
2. Europe and Central Asia
3. Latin America and the Caribbean
4. Middle East and North Africa
5. South Asia
6. Sub-Saharan Africa
More Information
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-TW-12-001.html
Submission Limits
One LMIC institution and one U.S. institution must submit an application as a bi-national paired consortium. Each institutional partner (normally identified by having a unique DUNS number or NIH IPF number) can only submit one application as primary (i.e. the two lead institutions that comprise the pair and that would receive the award). However, institutions may also participate as partners in up to two additional consortia through applications submitted by other institutions.

Incidence of Community Associated Influenza and Other Respiratory Infections in the United States
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Description
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
The purpose of this FOA is to estimate the incidence and etiology of respiratory infections in a community-based cohort and define the attributable fractions of influenza and non-influenza respiratory viruses. The objectives of this program are as follows. The applicant must respond to all three objectives:
1. Enroll a cohort of households within a predefined community and follow individuals prospectively to determine the annual incidence of ARI and ILI. Sites should develop a mechanism, web-based or otherwise, to conduct surveillance in enrolled households on a weekly basis to determine when ARI or ILI occurs. It is recommended that routine home visits also be made on a monthly basis. Sites should be able to enroll 200 to 300 households, within six months, from which incidence can be calculated by age group. To account for seasonal differences in respiratory infection incidence and etiology, participants should be enrolled for an entire year.
2. Identify the etiology of ARI and ILI in the enrolled cohort over time by developing a mechanism to collect respiratory specimens (i.e., nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs) from ill persons in households and performing etiologic testing with modern molecular diagnostic tests to characterize the annual variation in the circulation of influenza and other respiratory viruses. Modern molecular diagnostic tests for etiologic testing should be included to increase the ability to detect respiratory viral pathogens and better characterize genetic variations. The application should describe in detail the viral culture, RT-PCR, and other laboratory methods to be used and provide evidence of competency in the use of these methods, and a system to demonstrate the quality of the laboratory methods and results. If laboratory testing cannot be performed on site by the recipient, the recipient should outline in their proposal the method for accomplishing the testing of specimens.
3. Characterize individual and household factors associated with the incidence and transmission of respiratory viral infections. Sites should collect supplemental information (e.g., demographic, clinical, socioeconomic, etc.) on participating individuals and households.

Division of Social and Economic Sciences
In fiscal year 2011, NSF made eight awards in response to proposals submitted to the NSF-Census Research Network Program Solicitation (NCRN; NSF 10-621). A list of awards is available at: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503587&org=SES&from=home.
This joint funding opportunity was supported by NSF and the U.S. Bureau of the Census to establish a set of research nodes conducting interdisciplinary research and educational activities on methodological questions of interest and significance to the broader research community and to the Federal Statistical System, particularly the U.S. Bureau of the Census. These activities are expected to advance both fundamental and applied knowledge as well as further the education of current and future generations of researchers in research skills of relevance to the statistical measurement of economic units, households, and persons and their behaviors.
The purpose of this Dear Colleague Letter is to advise you about funding opportunities at the National Science Foundation for the research community to propose a coordination body for these new projects. Coordinating responsibilities must include, but are not necessarily limited to the following:
* Facilitate communication, information sharing, and collaboration among researchers within the network.
* Facilitate interactions with relevant members of the community outside of the network.
* Organize the biannual meetings of the research network leaders as specified in the NCRN Program Solicitation.
* Facilitate node interactions with staff from the U.S. Census Bureau and other relevant Federal Statistical System agencies.
* Host and maintain a web site for public dissemination of research findings.
This is not a new program. Except as modified here, submitted proposals should follow the guidelines outlined in the NSF Research Coordination Networks (RCN) Program Solicitation (NSF 11-531). Investigators should submit their proposal via FastLane to the Methodology, Measurement, and Statistics (MMS) Program by March 1, 2012. The MMS Program plans to make one NCRN coordination award. The award is expected to be five years in duration, with a maximum total budget of $750,000.
