National Endowment for the Humanities
Advancing Knowledge: The IMLS/NEH Digital Partnership

These grants will support collaborations among libraries, museums, archives, universities, and other cultural organizations that may serve as models for the field. We encourage projects that explore new ways to share, examine, and interpret humanities collections in a digital environment and to develop new uses and audiences for existing digital resources. Eligible projects might: serve as models for how libraries, museums, and archives can collaborate with other humanities organizations; use innovative approaches in digital technology to provide new perspectives on humanities collections, offer new interpretive contexts, and allow existing resources to be widely shared; have interpretive elements that can assist scholars and/or the public in gaining new understanding of ideas and questions in the humanities; advance the role of cultural repositories in online teaching, learning, and research; develop collaborative approaches involving the scholarly community and cultural repositories for the creation, management, preservation, and presentation of reusable digital collections and products; and examine and coordinate community-based approaches and standards for making resources available online. Successful applicants will be expected, as one of their work products, to create a "lessons learned" white paper. This white paper should document their project, including lessons learned, so that others can benefit from their experience.

Breast Cancer Concept Awards

The DoD Breast Cancer Research Program has released $8 million in funding opportunities in Concept Awards that will fund 75-80 awards. This will be a two step submission process: Step One) The pre-application for the Concept Award mechanism is a Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI must be submitted electronically through the CDMRP eReceipt System at https://cdmrp.org. Step Two) Proposals must be submitted electronically by the Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) at your organization through Grants.gov www.grants.gov. The overall goal of the FY06 BCRP is to promote research focused on eradicating breast cancer. The BCRP challenges the scientific community to design innovative research that will foster new directions for, address neglected issues in, and bring new investigators to the field of breast cancer research. The BCRP focuses its funding on innovative projects that have the potential to make a significant impact on breast cancer, particularly those involving multidisciplinary and/or multi-institutional collaborations and alliances. The BCRP encourages risk-taking research; however, all projects must demonstrate solid judgment and rationale. Research completed through a Concept Award may provide sufficient preliminary data to enable the investigator to prepare a proposal for future research. As such, preliminary data are not consistent with the intent of this award mechanism. As in prior years, the Concept Awards will have blinded review process; the principal investigator and institution names will not be provided during either peer or programmatic review. Also, as in prior years, the Project Narrative is limited to a one page format.

Breast Cancer Research Program - Synergistic Idea Award

The overall goal of the FY06 BCRP is to promote research focused on eradicating breast cancer. The BCRP challenges the scientific community to design innovative research that will foster new directions for, address neglected issues in, and bring new investigators to the field of breast cancer research. The BCRP focuses its funding on innovative projects that have the potential to make a significant impact on breast cancer, particularly those involving multidisciplinary and/or multi-institutional collaborations and alliances. The BCRP encourages risk-taking research; however, all projects must demonstrate solid judgment and rationale. The Synergistic Idea Award supports collaborations between two independent, faculty-level (or equivalent) investigators who address an innovative, high-risk, potentially high-reward breast cancer research question from synergistic and complementary perspectives. This award mechanism is designed to support completely new ideas, not ideas that are extensions of existing collaborative efforts. The Synergistic Idea Award is designed to promote new ideas and new collaborations therefore proposals are not required to include preliminary data but a rationale for the work must be provided. The Synergistic Idea Award requires the submission of a single proposal that addresses a critical issue in breast cancer research. The proposal may be structured as either two separate but complementary and highly synergistic objectives, or as a balanced, synergistic collaboration integrated into a single project. Innovation is the most significant feature of this award. The DoD Breast Cancer Research Program has released $10 million in funding opportunities in Synergistic Idea Awards that will fund 13-15 awards, and $5 million in funding opportunity in Multidisciplinary Postdoctoral Awards that will fund 8-10 awards. The DoD BCRP has adopted a two step submission process:
Step One: The pre-application is a required Letter of Intent (LOI) for the Synergistic Idea Awards and Multidisciplinary Postdoctoral Awards funding mechanisms.
The LOI must be submitted electronically through the CDMRP eReceipt System ( https://cdmrp.org) by January 23, 2007, 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

See the ORSP website for internal deadlines - http://orsp.rutgers.edu/limited.php.

The objective of the Silvio O Conte Digestive Diseases Research Development Centers program is to allow groups of investigators already engaged in common thematic areas of digestive and/or liver diseases research to benefit from shared research resources on a smaller scale than our P30 centers program. The NIDDK recognizes that a critical mass of funded investigators is needed to provide the research base for a large core grant, such as a Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Center grant (see RFA-DK-06-017), but that many locations around the country support smaller groups of NIDDK-funded investigators whose research would be enhanced, and extended, by the existence of shared core facilities. Cores are defined as shared resources that enhance productivity and benefit a group of investigators working to accomplish the stated goals of the center. Cores should increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness by eliminating unnecessary duplication of effort and by supporting resources (e.g., costly equipment) that might be needed by, but not fully utilized by, any one research grant or investigator. Core facilities should increase efficiency, promote new research directions, and foster interactions and collaborations among the investigators they serve.

Study of the United States Institutes for Student Leaders

Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders are intensive academic programs whose purpose is to provide groups of undergraduate student leaders with a deeper understanding of the United States, while simultaneously enhancing their leadership skills. The principal objective of the Institutes is to heighten the participants' awareness of the history and evolution of U.S. society, culture, values and institutions, broadly defined. In this context, the Institutes should incorporate a focus on contemporary American life, as it is shaped by historical and/or current political, social, and economic issues and debates. The role and influence of principles and values such as democracy, the rule of law, individual rights, freedom of expression, equality, diversity and tolerance should be addressed.

Amendment--Develop and Demonstrate Technologies to Detect Explosives or Explosives Related Threats Using Handheld,…

The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV) has a need to develop and demonstrate technologies to detect explosives on persons, in vehicles and packages (boxes, suitcases, briefcases), or explosive related threats (such as fragments, odors, densities) using handheld, desktop, portal or imaging techniques either upon contact or from a distance (standoff).
BACKGROUND: The NAVEODTECHDIV research and development department, with funding from the DoD Physical Security Equipment Action Group (PSEAG), operates the DoD Explosive Detection Equipment (EDE) program for the military services. During the past several years the EODTECHDIV has conducted both comparative testing of commercial EDE as well as the development of new EDE based on novel sensors and concepts. Explosives to be detected include military explosives, commercial explosives and homemade explosives, including liquid explosives. Targets of interest include articles carried in, on, or by persons; vehicles (including watercraft) and their cargo; and mail conveyed by person or vehicle. Quad Charts, White Papers, and Proposals are sought for technology development projects in the following technology areas: Go to link.

Develop and Demonstrate Alternative Data Transmission Technologies to Support Explosive Ordnance Disposal

The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV) has a need to develop and demonstrate alternative technologies for data transmission to support EOD operations.
BACKGROUND: As the RF spectrum becomes more and more crowded, the data transmission frequencies used for directing and controlling EOD tools and equipment is being impinged upon. This has resulted in a marked increase in RF interference and an unacceptable decrease in personnel security/safety in hostile operational environments. Currently, there are no alternatives to the use of RF, or a tether connection, to transmit and receive data. EOD technicians need an alternative means of remotely exchanging data with EOD toolsthat does not rely on RF; is not a tether; has the potential to be used for non-line-of-sight signal propagation; and has the potential to provide data exchange over distances of 300 to 700 meters.
WHITE PAPERS: Interested offerors are requested to submit a white paper, the purpose of which is to preclude unwarranted effort by the offeror in preparing a full technical and cost proposal not considered to be responsive.
