Title
Management and Operations of the Arecibo Observatory
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The National Science Foundation (NSF) hereby solicits proposals to manage and operate the Arecibo Observatory (AO). The AO is a multidisciplinary research and education facility. AO’s cornerstone research instrument is a 305-meter diameter fixed spherical reflector, located on approximately 120 acres of U.S. Federal Government-owned land near Arecibo, Puerto Rico. AO conducts research in passive radio astronomy, solar system radar astronomy, and space and atmospheric sciences.
NSF is currently preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate proposed operational changes at AO due to funding constraints, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). In the Draft EIS released in October 2016, NSF evaluated the anticipated environmental impacts stemming from implementation of several proposed alternatives, including the Agency Preferred Alternative: Collaboration with interested parties for continued science-focused operations at AO. The current solicitation supports this Preferred Alternative.
In cooperation with NSF and within available resources, the proposer will plan and execute a viable program of research and/or education, consistent with the objectives and priorities of the scientific community. The recipient will manage the facilities and equipment provided by NSF, and will provide support and technical personnel to manage AO as a well-integrated research and/or education facility. A significant portion of the AO program should be carried out in collaboration with its stakeholder communities, and other collaborators.
NSF anticipates greatly reduced and decreasing funding over the life of this effort, to a total of $2M per year by the end of the five-year project period (and pending availability of funds). In consideration of these reductions, operations and activities cannot be sustained at current levels without external sources of funding. A viable proposal must demonstrate a feasible and reasonable approach to managing and operating AO, and, if applicable, to obtaining and sustaining a significant share of the AO’s operational costs.
This solicitation encourages creative approaches to providing continued operations of AO. Proposers must describe how they will establish appropriate partnerships with universities, industry, and/or private organizations; and obtain additional funds (beyond those provided by NSF) to support their proposed activities. Commensurate with their proposed activities, proposers must provide an overall management structure fostering observing capabilities and scientific data collection and/or an integrated program of education, training and outreach. The funding provided by NSF, however, is contingent upon the recipient conducting passive radio astronomy and aeronomy science activities.
For increased flexibility in providing funding and activity alternatives, NSF may consider requests made by proposing entities for transfer of the AO title. A viable proposal requesting transfer of title must demonstrate a strong case for why title transfer is desirable.
The successful proposal would be awarded as a cooperative agreement or master cooperative agreement with cooperative support agreement(s) on or after 1 April 2018 with an anticipated duration of five years, and possibly renewable upon a successful review for an additional five years. A transition period may be proposed.

Shared Instrumentation Grant Program (S10)
Agencies
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
The Shared Instrument Grant (SIG) Program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade a single item of expensive, specialized, commercially available instruments or integrated systems. The minimum award is $50,000. There is no maximum price requirement; however, the maximum award is $600,000. Types of instruments supported include, but are not limited to: X-ray diffractometers, mass and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, cell sorters, and biomedical imagers.The purpose of this funding opportunity is to continue the Shared Instrumentation Grant (SIG) Program administered by ORIP. The objective of the Program is to make available to institutions expensive research instruments that can only be justified on a shared-use basis and that are needed for NIH-supported projects in basic, translational or clinical areas of biomedical and bio-behavioral research. The SIG Program provides funds to purchase or upgrade a single item of expensive, state-of-the-art, specialized, commercially available instrument or an integrated instrumentation system. An integrated instrumentation system is one in which the components, when used in conjunction with one another, perform a function that no single component could provide. The components must be dedicated to the system and not used independently.
Types of supported instruments include, but are not limited to: X-ray diffractometers, mass and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, cell sorters, and biomedical imagers. Applications for "stand alone" computer systems (supercomputers, computer clusters and data storage systems) will only be considered if the instrument is solely dedicated to biomedical research.
Instruments must be for research purposes only.

Title
Extending Industrial Assessment Centers to Underserved Areas
Agencies
United States Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
Extension IACs are intended to provide better national coverage by further expanding the geographic coverage of the IAC program to areas that are unlikely to be adequately serviced because of their distance from the 28 existing IACs. For a list and map of the 28 IACs, visit: https://iac.university. EERE has identified six geographic gaps in national coverage that have been designated as “underserved†and are listed in Section III, Eligibility Information, of this FOA. For this FOA, EERE is only interested in receiving applications from colleges physically located within one of the six underserved areas to provide IAC services in the same underserved area.
Extension IACs will provide training for undergraduate and graduate engineering students in industrial processes, energy assessment procedures, and energy management systems. This training may be provided through coursework, as well as via hands-on activities.
Applicants must describe how they intend to promote the development and national adoption of an accredited B.S. degree in energy engineering or equivalent field; or describe their plans for enhancement of an existing degree program that addresses the entire range of pedagogical content within the context of IAC activities. Eligible minority-serving institutions are encouraged to apply as Extension IACs.
In addition to the services outlined above, DOE is looking for new and innovative ways to accomplish its programmatic goals for manufacturers and encourages applicants to propose creative approaches to deliver services that coincide with AMO priorities. These priorities are projected to include:
• Smart manufacturing – identifying opportunities for productivity improvements through the availability and use of smart communications between machines, manufacturing processes, operators and management;
• Cyber security – assisting small & medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in threat detection and mitigation. According to the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), 62 percent of data system breaches impacted smaller organizations and in 2011 the average cost to a small or medium-sized business from a cyber-attack was over $188,000;
• Energy management systems – helping SMEs to continuously improve their energy performance by exploring the entire spectrum of management systems, from foundational to ISO 50001 to Superior Energy Performance (http://energy.gov/isosep); and
• Wastewater and water facilities – supporting the efficiency and productivity of water utility facilities, including facility operations as well as the biological component of wastewater treatment.
Applicants should describe how they intend to reach non-participant SMEs in their currently underserved region. Applicants should clearly state resources to be developed and innovative methods to share industry best practices and lessons learned with the widest possible audience. Applicants are encouraged to partner with academic, government, nonprofit or industry groups to develop and deploy energy and water savings guidance and ‘how to’ resources to this hard to reach community. In addition, some means of tracking the uptake of these soft touch points should be developed.
Applicants must formally partner with one of the 28 existing Industrial Assessment Centers as a mentor IAC. Additional information on the 28 existing IACs can be found at: https://iac.university. Extension IACs should discuss the nature and extent of the proposed collaboration/partnership with the existing IAC.
The existing IACs may partner as a mentor IAC on more than one Application under this FOA.
Applicants will also define how they will maximize the student experience; increase student technical knowledge and business sense; and develop their understanding of key industrial concepts, including industrial supply chains, sustainability issues, and management systems. Students should be encouraged to develop and publish technical papers, online learning materials and assessment-derived replicable best practices and other resources. Applicants should also highlight additional value added experience opportunities for the IAC, including:
• Scholarship or internship opportunities for students;
• Traineeships with National Laboratories or other research institutions;
• Inclusion of other disciplines (e.g., business, marketing, environmental studies etc.) into training and student employee makeup;
• Inclusion of opportunities for students to pursue ISO 50001 auditor certifications or other third-party accreditations and certifications;
• Creation and maintenance of a robust student and alumni social networking system; and
• Other subject matter expert (SME) or DOE supporting functions, as developed by individual applicants.
The Applicant must be physically located in and serve clients primarily within one of the following geographic areas currently designated by the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) as “underserved.â€
o Eastern Great Lakes – Michigan and Northern Ohio
o New York Tri-State Region – New Jersey, New York City, Long Island and Connecticut
o Delmarva – Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
o Upper New England – Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire
o Upper Midwest – Minnesota, Upper Michigan and Wisconsin, North and South Dakota
o Mountain West – New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana
More Information
https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/#FoaId746ba36e-9b68-44a4-b4fc-3b77e4df87a3
Submission Limits
EERE will only consider one Full Application per institution of higher education. For example, EERE will not consider applications from different departments or schools of engineering from the same institution. This limitation does not prohibit an entity from collaborating on other submissions to this FOA (e.g., as a proposed Subrecipient) as long as the entity is not the Prime Applicant for those submissions.
Cost Sharing:
The cost share must be at least 20% of the total allowable costs for projects (i.e., the sum of the Government share, including FFRDC costs if applicable, and the recipient share of allowable costs equals the total allowable cost of the project) and must come from non-Federal sources unless otherwise allowed by law.

OVW Fiscal Year 2017 Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking on Campus Program Solicitation
Agencies
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
Description
About the OVW Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking on Campus Program
This program is authorized by 42 U.S.C. §14045b. Congress created the Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus Program (hereinafter referred to as the Campus Program) in recognition of the unique issues and challenges that colleges and universities face in preventing and responding to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
The Campus Program encourages a comprehensive coordinated community approach that enhances victim safety, provides services for victims and supports efforts to hold offenders accountable. The funding supports activities that develop and strengthen trauma informed victim services and strategies to prevent, investigate, respond to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. Developing campus-wide coordinated responses involving campus victim service providers, law enforcement/campus safety officers, health providers, housing officials, administrators, student leaders, faith-based leaders, representatives from student organizations, and disciplinary board members is critical. To be effective, campus responses must also link to local off-campus criminal justice agencies and service providers, including local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors’ offices, courts, and nonprofit, nongovernmental victim advocacy and victim services organizations. Campuses are encouraged to create or revitalize large-scale efforts that treat sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking as serious offenses by adopting effective, culturally relevant policies and protocols, developing victim services and advocacy programs, and implementing effective prevention approaches. Colleges and universities should demonstrate to every student that these crimes will not be tolerated, that perpetrators will face serious consequences, and that holistic services are available for victims.
