	Notice of Intent Deadline of Oct 20, 2011 Has Passed — [All slots are filled]
Title Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Awards Agencies Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) Description The awards provide seed money for research by junior faculty at Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) member institutions. These awards are intended to enrich the research and professional growth of young faculty and result in new funding opportunities. The research project must be in one of the following five disciplines: 1. Engineering and Applied Science 2. Life Sciences 3. Mathematics/Computer Sciences 4. Physical Sciences 5. Policy, Management, or Education Applicants are encouraged to develop research collaborations with government, private-sector, and other academic researchers. Such alliances enrich and extend not only the reach of applicants' efforts, but the nation's research enterprise, overall. Because of the close working relationship between ORAU and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the Award Committee particularly encourages collaborative interaction with ORNL. Thus, substantive interdisciplinary research and inter-institutional research partnerships will be considered as very positive factors in the review process, and will increase chances for success. More Information http://www.orau.org/consortium/programs/powe/powe-awards.htm Submission Limits Each ORAU member councilor may submit up to two applications each year.

Title Sustainable Energy Pathways (SEP) Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description A sustainable world is one in which human needs are met equitably without harm to the environment, and without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Growing evidence for the role of energy use in global change and awareness of limitations in our energy choices are motivating a search for pathways that are technologically innovative as well as environmentally and economically sustainable at all scales of energy usage. This is a grand challenge to the scientific community that cuts across disciplinary boundaries. The creation of a secure and prosperous future for humanity depends on the contributions that science, engineering, and education will make towards building sustainable pathways to meet the energy needs of future generations. The dual roles of NSF - to support basic research and education - are ideally suited to stimulate vibrant science and engineering discovery and innovation efforts that will be needed to meet the challenge of building a sustainable energy future. Sustainable Energy Pathways is part of the NSF-wide initiative on Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability (SEES). The Sustainable Energy Pathways solicitation calls for innovative, interdisciplinary basic research in science, engineering, and education by teams of researchers for developing systems approaches to sustainable energy pathways based on a comprehensive understanding of the scientific, technical, environmental, economic, and societal issues. The SEP solicitation considers scalable approaches for sustainable energy conversion to useful forms, as well as its storage, transmission, distribution, and use. The following Topic Areas illustratethe broad scope of sustainable energy interest areas of this solicitation: Energy Harvesting & Conversion from Renewable Resources; Sustainable Energy Storage Solutions; Critical Elements & Materials for Sustainable Energy; Nature-Inspired Processes for Sustainable Energy Solutions; Reducing Carbon Intensity from Energy Conversion & Use; Sustainable Energy Transmission & Distribution; Energy Efficiency & Management. More Information http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2011/nsf11590/nsf11590.htm Submission Limits Eligible institutions may submit no more than three (3) proposals as the lead organization in response to this solicitation for FY 2012. Any individual may appear as Principal Investigator (PI), co-PI, or other senior personnel on only one proposal in response to this solicitation. This limitation includes proposals submitted by a lead organization, any sub-award submitted as part of a proposal, or any collaborative proposal. If an individual is listed as a PI, co-PI, or senior personnel on more than one proposal, all of those proposals will be returned without review.

DRL seeks proposals that build bridges between the worlds of journalism and anti-corruption advocacy in Russia. Proposals should expand the capacity of journalists, bloggers, and/or civil society to uncover and effectively publicize reports of corruption on the local, regional, or national levels using new and traditional media. Proposals may focus on countering specific types of corruption or corruption in particular social spheres, such as politics, religion, education, health care, and law enforcement. Proposals should include a component focusing on upcoming elections in March 2012 and building upon lessons learned during the December 2011 elections. In addition, proposals should include a financial sustainability component to assist participating media outlets, bloggers, etc., to improve their long-term viability. Proposals should address potential interference/obstacles in regards to program implementation and offer contingency planning to ensure the safety of participants. b.
