Title
National Resource Center on Nutrition and Aging
Agencies
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
The mission of the Administration on Aging (AoA) is to help older adults maintain their dignity and independence in their homes and communities through comprehensive, coordinated, and cost-effective systems of long-term care and livable communities across the United States. In order to accomplish this mission, targeted policy, strategic planning, and quality core services are necessary at the national, state, and local levels. The aging services network is serving a continuum of aging individuals in the community from those who need health promotion, disease prevention and risk reduction services to an increasingly vulnerable and frail population with a need for long-term supports and services. Adequate nutrition is essential for the health and continued independence of this entire continuum of elders. Access to adequate, quality food and nutrition services is an important component of a comprehensive and coordinated plan for aging services provision. As the largest community based food and nutrition program in the U.S. targeted to older adults, it is essential that the OAA Nutrition Program be positioned as a critical program in long term service and support systems across the country. The OAA Nutrition Program is implemented in states and local communities by 4,000 nutrition service providers. About half of State Units on Aging (SUA) employ a full time nutrition professional or access a nutrition consultant. Currently, there is limited AoA staff devoted to advance quality nutrition programming in the aging network. A technical assistance resource center will be essential to successfully supporting the aging services network in providing quality nutrition services for older adults today and in the future. Older adults served by the OAA Nutrition Program, especially those in the home delivered program, are less healthy, more functionally impaired, more likely to live alone, and have lower incomes than the average older American. Nutrition services are a prevention, risk reduction or treatment modality for seven of the eight chronic health conditions. Food insecurity and hunger is increasing nationally in the older adult population. Due in part to state and local financial constraints, meal services are being reduced and some states are unable to implement other nutrition services such as screening, assessment, education or counseling that could address lifestyle risk factors key to maintaining independence in the community. A national Resource Center should be able to work effectively with national, state, and local nutrition programs to address these issues.

International Police Education and Training Program
Agencies
United States Department of State (DOS)
Description
The United States Government, represented by the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Office of Criminal Justice Assistance and Partnership (State/INL/CAP), is seeking applications from qualified U.S. organizations with the requisite capability and experience to establish and manage a program of professional training and exchanges for foreign and U.S. police officials.
The general purpose of the program is to develop, implement and manage a program for International Police Education and Training (IPET). State/INL/CAP invites organizations to submit proposals outlining program concepts and capacity to manage discrete training projects with the goal of developing a framework program for ongoing exchanges, professional development and training activities for senior police officers from cooperating foreign partners. The IPET program will address one of INL's Strategic Goals: Strengthen Criminal Justice Systems - Establish and facilitate stable criminal justice systems to strengthen international law enforcement and judicial effectiveness, bolster cooperation in legal affairs, and support the rule of law, while respecting human rights. Through a variety of component activities, IPET is intended to increase the capabilities of foreign senior police officials and police organizations, encourage effective and mutually beneficial relations between U.S. and foreign police organizations, and provide current and future foreign police leaders with broad theoretical and practical exposure to state of the art policing concepts, practices, technology and trends. Specific areas of focus will be organizational development, agency management, and human rights issues. IPET will initially provide fellowships for foreign police officials and leaders programmed to meet specific areas of interest, skills development and management training. Other component activities will support international fellows after return to their home agencies and countries with a range of U.S. mobile training teams deployed abroad to address specific needs, and U.S. police experts sent abroad to serve as instructors for short-term training courses. IPET will also provide an analog program of foreign study fellowships for U.S. senior police officials.
INL/CAP intends to utilize its growing number of cooperative agreements with U.S. state and local police organizations as a resource pool for police expertise and trainers. Additionally, prospective grantees are encouraged to identify partner organizations or team members that would contribute specific expertise to meet the goals of the IPET program.

Title
ADVANCE: Increasing the Participation and Advancement of Women in Academic Science and Engineering Careers (ADVANCE)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The goal of the ADVANCE program is to develop systemic approaches to increase the representation and advancement of women in academic science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers, thereby contributing to the development of a more diverse science and engineering workforce. ADVANCE focuses on ensuring that women faculty with earned STEM degrees consider academia as a viable and attractive career option. This program does not support projects to increase or retain the number of women entering into or persisting in STEM doctoral degree programs. Thus, efforts to impact the STEM pipeline are not considered appropriate for the ADVANCE Program.
Creative strategies to realize the ADVANCE program goal are sought from women and men. Members of underrepresented minority groups and individuals with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply. Proposals that address the participation and advancement of academic STEM women from underrepresented minority groups and women with disabilities are particularly encouraged. Further, given the increasing emphasis on international collaborations in many STEM disciplines, and the importance of international recognition to career advancement, proposal components that systemically enhance and provide access to international collaborations are encouraged.
Proposals from community colleges, primarily undergraduate institutions, minority-serving institutions (e.g. Tribal Colleges and Universities, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions and Tribal Colleges and Universities), women's colleges, and institutions primarily serving persons with disabilities are encouraged.
In 2011-2012, this program will support the following types of ADVANCE Projects:
Institutional Transformation (IT)
Institutional Transformation awards are expected to include innovative systemic organizational approaches to transform institutions of higher education in ways that will increase the participation and advancement of women in STEM academic careers. These awards support comprehensive programs for institution-wide change. IT projects must include a 5-page research component designed to study the effectiveness of the proposed innovations in order to contribute to the knowledge base informing academic institutional transformation.
Previous or current funding from ADVANCE is not a prerequisite for submitting an IT proposal. Any institution meeting the minimum eligibility may apply for an IT award.
Proposals for IT awards from community colleges, primarily undergraduate institutions, minority-serving institutions (e.g. Tribal Colleges and Universities, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions), women's colleges, and institutions primarily serving persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged. It is anticipated that there may be significant differences in the issues facing faculty in these institutions, compared to faculty in other types of institutions that will warrant development of unique strategies and/or adaptation of proven strategies in a unique way to achieve ADVANCE Program goals.
Institutional Transformation Catalyst (IT-Catalyst)
IT-Catalyst awards are designed to support historically resource-challenged institutions in efforts to conduct institutional self-assessment activities, such as data collection and analysis and policy review, in order to identify specific issues in the recruitment, retention and promotion of women faculty in STEM academics within an institution of higher education. This type of work is fundamental for institutions that plan to undertake institutional transformation.
The institution's need for external resources to undertake institutional self assessment and policy review will specifically be evaluated using additional ADVANCE merit review criteria. Thus, institutions applying for IT-Catalyst awards are expected to demonstrate institutional need within the proposal. As such, institutions that are particularly encouraged to apply for the ADVANCE IT-Catalyst award include: primarily undergraduate institutions; institutions that have historically received lesser amounts of NSF research funding; minority serving institutions (e.g., Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions); women's colleges; institutions primarily serving persons with disabilities; and institutions that have a Carnegie classification of master's colleges and universities, baccalaureate colleges, associate colleges or tribal colleges.
Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination (PAID)
Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination awards may focus on one institution or organization, or they may be a partnership between several institutions and/or organizations. PAID projects can focus on all STEM disciplines, several disciplines, or only one discipline, including the social and behavioral sciences. Projects may have an international, national, regional or local scope. Previous or current funding from ADVANCE is not a prerequisite for submitting a PAID proposal (see additional ADVANCE merit review criteria).

Democratic Engagement at the Community Level
Agencies
United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
Description
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), represented by the Bureau of Latin America and the Caribbean (USAID/LAC), Office of Cuban Affairs is seeking applications for Cooperative Agreements for a three-year Civil Society program entitled "Democratic Engagement at the Community Level."
The overall objective of the Community Engagement Program is to increase the number of independent civic, social or development projects/activities that are carried out in Cuba. The program will strengthen independent Civil Society Groups (for the purposes of this RFA, a defined as "two or more persons who organize a social space outside state authority to collectively discuss and debate [and possibly take action on] a particular topic of shared interests, values or purpose") and provide them with technical and other assistance that will expand their capabilities to organize, train, and mobilize small groups of people in the same neighborhood/community that are interested in working together to alleviate or resolve a common problem. The program will focus on concerns and felt needs in the immediate environment that are significant for more than just a few families and which could potentially be supported by a majority of the people. Program implementers will help citizens organize into groups that will identify, implement and evaluate small projects/activities that will increase the quality of life at a grassroots level.
The program will also contribute to achievement of two important sub-objectives.
The first subobjective is to increase community self-confidence and social capital by providing an opportunity for people to work together and successfully plan, implement and evaluate local projects without Government assistance. These small projects/activities are important for the community and are worthwhile endeavors for a development assistance program, but the real value of supported activities is that they provide opportunities for groups to work together and learn how to carry out independent development activities. The experiences gained from these small activities have great potential for increasing the confidence, social cohesion and independence of people in the assisted groups or communities.
The second sub-objective is to develop leadership skills and strengthen community capabilities to implement self-help activities. The leadership capabilities, self-confidence and social capital that are generated by successful self-help projects are especially important, because they serve as a base for planning larger projects or more complex activities in the future, and are an important initial step toward a future in which assisted communities will be capable of taking independent action to address their felt needs.

Agencies
United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
Description
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), represented by the Bureau of Latin America and the Caribbean (USAID/LAC), Office of Cuban Affairs is seeking applications for Cooperative Agreements for a three-year Civil Society program entitled "Facilitation the Free Flow of Information." The intent of this project is to increase the flow of uncensored information to, from, and within the island by strengthening the ability of independent civil society groups (CSGs) and networks to provide information to the communities that they serve. The USG supports a range of activities in Cuba that promote the distribution of unfiltered information to, from, and within the country. Programs also strengthen independent CSGs and networks throughout the country, which foster the distribution of information to their constituents. USAID seeks to build on this work and expand and improve the services provided by independent CSGs and networks, especially among underserved, marginalized populations. It is expected that the materials and services provided by groups that are supported through this program will be available for all interested participants. This program also seeks to increase technical skills and networking opportunities in order to support the objective of increasing the flow of unfiltered information, while improving the leadership skills of targeted individuals. With these funds, USAID seeks to expand and strengthen the ability of nascent civil society groups and networks to provide informational and other services to the communities that they service throughout the country.
