Title Pathway to Stop Diabetes Agencies American Diabetes Association (ADA) Description Pathway to Stop Diabetes is a bold, innovative initiative designed to radically transform diabetes research. Our Vision is simple yet revolutionary: find a new generation of brilliant scientists at the peak of their creativity, and provide them with freedom, autonomy, and the financial and professional resources to set them on the road to breakthrough discoveries. This initiative enables scientists to advance not only their research, but also their careers. Pathway scientists have access to the Mentor Advisory Group, an annual Pathway symposia, select speaking opportunities, and innovative technologies, all designed to foster interactions and collaboration that will enable them to accelerate their research progress. Pathway seeks to bring new investigators and new perspectives to diabetes research. Supporting scientists with different backgrounds and experience is critical to achieving that objective. Pathway accepts nominations for exceptional investigators with medical and scientific backgrounds who propose innovative basic, clinical, translational, behavioral, epidemiological and health services research relevant to any type of diabetes, diabetes-related disease state or complication. Pathway solicits nominations for candidates in all disciplines as applied to diabetes including medicine, biology, chemistry, computing, physics, mathematics and engineering. In addition, nomination of scientists from diverse backgrounds, including minority groups that are underrepresented in biomedical research, is strongly encouraged.   More Information https://professional.diabetes.org/meetings/pathway-stop-diabetes® Submission Limits Candidates will be identified through nominations from U.S.-accredited academic and nonprofit research institutions. Each institution is allowed a maximum of one nomination. The nomination can be in any one of the three available Pathway award types: Initiator (for researchers in postdoctoral training) Accelerator (for early-career diabetes investigators) Visionary (for established investigators, new to diabetes).

Title Women and Minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Fields Program (WAMS) Agencies United States Department of Agriculture Description For the FY 2018 award cycle, NIFA intends to support projects with a target audience of K-14 students (kindergarten through twelfth grade plus two years of post-secondary schooling (e.g., vocational technical institutions or community or junior colleges). 4 year undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral focused projects will not be awarded under this grant announcement. Projects with a primary target of 4 year undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral studies should consider NIFA’s workforce and development focused programs. More information is available here: https://nifa.usda.gov/resource/nifa-reinforces-agriculturaleducation-pipeline The WAMS grants program directly aligns with: • 2014-2018 USDA Strategic Plan, specifically Goals 1, 2, 3, and 4; • USDA Research, Economics and Education Action Plan, specifically Goal 6; • 2014-2018 NIFA Strategic Plan, specifically Strategic Goal 1 Sub-goal 1.7 WAMS-funded project activities must support the creation, adaptation, and adoption of learning materials and teaching strategies to operationalize what we know about how students learn. Many of these concepts are identified in the National Research Council’s publication: How People Learn. WAMS-funded projects shall also focus on imparting both technical knowledge as well as ‘soft’ skills such as communication, team work, and problem solving, as these are abilities expected by employers. These concepts may be found in the publication: Comparative Analysis of Soft Skills: What is Important for New Graduates? The purpose of this program is to support research, education/teaching, and extension projects that increase participation by women and underrepresented minorities from rural areas in STEM. NIFA intends this program to address educational needs, as determined by each institution, within broadly defined areas of food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences. Applications recommended for funding must highlight and emphasize the development of a competent and qualified workforce in the food, agricultural, natural resources and human sciences (FAHN sciences). WAMS-funded projects should improve the economic health and viability of rural communities by developing research and extension initiatives that focus on new 5 and emerging employment opportunities in STEM occupations. Projects that contribute to the economic viability of rural communities are also encouraged. Leadership Skills Development: The development of leadership skills, knowledge, and qualities are necessary to prepare students for agricultural and related careers in the private sector, government, and academia. WAMS education/teaching applications must demonstrably incorporate a leadership development component to equip students with technical and leadership abilities upon graduation. Specific activities may include: • Developing practical applications to increase understanding of leadership roles, including critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills; ethics and professionalism; and working in teams; • Connecting the academic classroom experience with daily leadership roles and organizational activities; • Providing opportunities for mentoring and shadowing; and • Organizing leadership academies, workshops, trainings, etc. Social and Behavioral Science Disciplines: Projects that integrate social and behavioral sciences to provide experiential learning opportunities for students in applied research, and related community development programs. Incorporation of social and behavioral sciences is important for addressing many of the challenges facing agriculture and rural communities, such as increasing global demand for food production in the face of limited natural resources; improving health and reducing obesity; and increasing economic opportunities. Advancement in U.S. Food, Agriculture, and Forestry: In an increasingly interconnected world, these domestic advancements have global importance, and may require information and cooperation from beyond our borders. Any proposed activity (e.g., partnerships, exchanges, training, and/or travel), must support the domestic objectives of WAMS. Applicants must clearly describe and demonstrate how international activities proposed in applications submitted to WAMS will contribute to advances in U.S. agriculture. When proposing international activities, applicants must describe the metrics that will be used for reporting beneficial outputs and outcomes. These metrics should reflect how the proposed international collaboration adds value to achieving the WAMS program’s objectives by introducing innovative technologies/approaches, promoting synergistic science, addressing issues of mutual concern, or other means. Additional guidance on including international activities in WAMS applications is provided on the NIFA Center for International Programs webpage that 6 includes Frequently Asked Questions, descriptions of existing MOUs and other resources to https://nifa.usda.gov/faqs-about-international-partnerships applicants interested in enhancing the potential for global engagement. NIFA encourages (but does not require) projects that develop content suitable for delivery through eXtension. More Information https://nifa.usda.gov/sites/default/files/rfa/FY18-WAMS-STEM.pdf Submission Limits Each eligible, individual institution, independent branch campus, and branch institution of a State system may submit one application as an individual institution (see Part II, C.1., Regular Grant). Institutions that received a grant under this program in a prior year are still eligible to submit and receive a grant this year. For FY 2018, NIFA will make only one award per eligible institution for a maximum of $100,000.
