Title
Recovery Act NIST Construction Grant Program
Agencies
National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)
Description
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Public Law 111-5) appropriated $180 million to NIST "for a competitive construction grant program for research science buildings. Additional information on the program was provided on page 418 of the Conference Report to accompany House Report 111-16 (Feb. 12, 2009): ". . . $180,000,000 shall be for the competitive construction grant program for research science buildings, including fiscal year 2008 and 2009 competitions.
Consistent with the Conference Report language NIST intends to issue grant awards for approximately $60 million to unfunded meritorious proposals submitted under the fiscal year 2008 competition and issue grant awards for approximately $120 million under a new fiscal year 2009 competition.
The goals and objectives of the program are to provide competitively awarded grant funds for research science buildings through the construction of new buildings or expansion of existing buildings. For purposes of this program, "research science building means a building or facility whose purpose is to conduct scientific research, including laboratories, test facilities, measurement facilities, research computing facilities, and observatories. In addition, "expansion of existing buildings means that space to conduct scientific research is being expanded from what is currently available for the supported research activities.
Consistent with Section 3 of the Recovery Act, the projects undertaken through this program will result in the preservation of jobs and the promotion of economic recovery; the provision of investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances; and the investment in infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits. Activities will be commenced as quickly as possible while ensuring prudent management.

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.

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
Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) challenges faculty, administrators, and others in institutions to think strategically about the creative integration of NSF-funded awards towards a whole that exceeds the sum of its parts. Although there is particular emphasis in I3 on awards managed by programs in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), institutional integration is not limited only to EHR awards but can include other NSF awards with a STEM educational focus. Two or more institutions in geographic proximity might, for example, partner to bridge existing NSF-funded awards on their campuses (e.g., RDE, IGERT, LSAMP, ATE, CREST, REU) to broaden participation in STEM fields and enhance undergraduate research opportunities. Additional connections might be made internationally with faculty or students outside the United States who would add their considerable intellectual and cultural perspectives. As another example, an institution might implement new policies, procedures, or mechanisms that encourage and value synergistic efforts among existing NSF-funded awards (e.g., GK-12, MSP, Noyce, REESE, DRK-12) and with other institutional units to better understand and enhance seamlessness across critical educational junctures, perhaps infusing innovative approaches to cyber-learning.
This effort has the following interrelated goals:
Increase synergy and collaboration across NSF-funded projects and within/between institutions, towards an educational environment where artificial boundaries are significantly reduced and the student experience is more fully integrated;
Expand and deepen the impact of NSF-funded projects and enhance their sustainability;
Provide additional avenues to broaden participation through workforce development, especially for those underrepresented in STEM research and education; attend to seamless transitions across critical educational junctures; and/or provide more effectively for a globally engaged workforce;
Promote innovative programming, policies, and practices to encourage the integration of STEM research and education; and
Encourage STEM educational or related research in domains that hold promise for promoting intra- or inter-institutional integration and broader impacts.
Proposals that facilitate either (a) inter-institutional or (b) intra-institutional efforts are encouraged. Proposals may be submitted by (a) a single institution to address intra-institutional goals only or (b) an institution acting on behalf of an institutional partnership to address inter-institutional goals.
Proposals are expected to incorporate a depth and quality of creative, coherent, and strategic actions that extend beyond commonplace approaches to normal institutional operations. Proposals may also be submitted for research on institutional integration or other closely related themes articulated in the goals above.
I3 is a cross-divisional effort in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR). For Fiscal Year 2009, proposals are being solicited in nine EHR programs that advance I3 goals: CREST, GSE, HBCU-UP, ITEST, LSAMP, MSP, Noyce, RDE, and TCUP. All proposals submitted to I3 through these programs have a common due date and will be reviewed in competition with one another.
