Title
Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
The Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) program was created in response to a legislative mandate to "increase the numbers of underrepresented minority faculty, investigators, and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, and to broaden the opportunities for underrepresented minority faculty and students for participation in biomedical and behavioral research". To accomplish this goal, the Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) program seeks to facilitate and promote, at research institutions with significant number of mentors with National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other extramural research support, the entry into biomedical or behavioral research fields of undergraduate and graduate students from groups underrepresented in these fields. The program provides institutional support for existing or innovative student development activities, including research internships, that will increase students' knowledge, skills, and information as they move to more advanced levels and ultimately attain the Ph.D. degree in biomedical or behavioral research fields.

Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) Instrument Development and Acquisition Solicitation
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) is designed to increase access to scientific and engineering equipment for research and research training in our Nation’s organizations of higher education, research museums and non-profit research organizations.
This program seeks to improve the quality and expand the scope of research and research training in science and engineering, and to foster the integration of research and education by providing instrumentation for research-intensive learning environments. The MRI program encourages the development and acquisition of research instrumentation for shared inter- or intra-organizational use and in concert with private sector partners.
The MRI program assists in the acquisition or development of major research instrumentation by organizations that is, in general, too costly for support through other NSF programs. Proposals may be for a single instrument, a large system of instruments, or multiple instruments that share a common or specific research focus.
Title VII of the America COMPETES Act (P.L. 110-69) directs the National Science Foundation to require cost-sharing in the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program of at least 30%. The Act states that institutions of higher education that are not Ph.D.-granting institutions are exempt from the cost-sharing requirement. Therefore, effective FY 2008, the MRI Program will require 30% cost-sharing on all proposals submitted by PhD granting institutions and non degree-granting institutions. The latter category includes US independent research museums, US independent nonprofit research organizations and consortia whose members consist of US institutions of higher education and/or US independent research museums. Cost-sharing will not be required from non PhD-granting institutions. Contributions towards cost-sharing may be made from any non-Federal source, and may be cash or in-kind. No exceptions will be made for this cost-sharing requirement.

Title
Investigators in Pathogenesis of Infectious Diseases
Agencies
Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF)
Description
The Burroughs Wellcome Fund's (BWF's) The Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease program provides opportunities for assistant professors to bring multidisciplinary approaches to the study of human infectious diseases. The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for accomplished investigators still early in their careers to study the pathogenesis of infectious disease at its most fundamental level - the points where human and microbial systems connect. The program supports research that sheds light on the fundamentals that affect the outcomes of this encounter: how colonization, infection, commensalism, and other relationships play out at levels ranging from molecular interactions to systemic ones. BWF is particularly interested in work focused on the host, as well as host-pathogen studies originating in viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasite systems. Studies supported by the program may have their roots in the pathogen, but the focus of the work should be on the interplay of host and microbe. The program emphasizes areas of research that open up unexplored areas of pathogenesis. Research on understudied infectious diseases, including pathogenic fungi, protozoan and metazoan diseases, and emerging infections, is especially of interest. In addition, excellent animal models of human disease, including work done in veterinary research settings, are within the program's scope. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged.
The awards are intended to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to pursue high-risk projects and new avenues of inquiry. Work supported will be efforts that have the potential to significantly advance the understanding of how microbes and the human system interact, especially in the context of infection. Biochemical, pharmacological, molecular, genetic, immunologic, and other approaches are all appropriate for support by the program. Areas of particular interest include
- cell/pathogen interactions: studies of host responses at the cell surface, cell signaling in response to infection, microbial persistence in host cells, and other work;
- host/pathogen interactions: studies of how host genetics influences resistance and susceptibility to infection, innate and adaptive immune responses to microbes, pathogen modulation of the immune system, and other work); and
- novel routes to disease causation: studies of the role of infectious agents in the etiology of chronic, autoimmune, and immunologic diseases, and other work.
Approaches that fit into these frameworks might include the study of host susceptibility to particular pathogens, host resistance to chronic or acute disease, or basic studies of infectious microbes - as long as the work is oriented toward understanding how the organism interacts with the host. Virulence factors, immune mechanisms, and genetic studies in microbes and the host all provide fertile ground for this kind of study.
Work on AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and organisms of interest for bio-defense may be submitted, but nominating institutions should note that research on under-funded and understudied organisms is especially of interest: proposed work in well-funded systems may be viewed as less relevant to the program's goals.

Submission Limits
A U.S. or Canadian institution—including its medical school, graduate schools, and all affiliated hospitals and research institutes—may nominate up to two candidates. To encourage applications from veterinarians, institutions that nominate a researcher who holds the D.V.M. will be allowed three nominations. Institutions may have a single additional nomination if they nominate a researcher working in pathogenic helminths, mycology, or reproductive science.

High Performance Computing Acquisition: Towards a Petascale Computing Environment for Science and Engineering
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
NSF’s five-year goal for high performance computing (HPC) is to enable petascale science and engineering through the deployment and support of a world-class HPC environment comprising the most capable combination of HPC assets available to the academic community. By the year 2010, the petascale HPC environment will enable investigations of computationally challenging problems that require computing systems capable of delivering sustained performance approaching 1015 floating point operations per second (petaflops) on real applications, that consume large amounts of memory, and/or that work with very large data sets. Among other things, researchers will be able to perform simulations that are intrinsically multi-scale or that involve the simultaneous interaction of multiple processes.
The purpose of this solicitation is to generate proposals from resource provider organizations who are committed to the acquisition and deployment of balanced HPC systems that will contribute to the development of the HPC environment described above. In future competitions, these systems will be upgraded or complemented by the acquisition of additional HPC systems that may be optimized for particular classes of science and engineering research problems. However, this competition emphasizes the provision of one or two well-balanced systems that deliver high levels of performance for many different types of science and engineering applications.
Competitive HPC systems will:
- Enable researchers to work on a range of computationally-challenging science and engineering applications;
- Incorporate reliable, robust system software essential to optimal sustained performance; and
- Provide a high degree of stability and usability.
