Due: October 1, 2012
URL http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5736&org=NSF&sel_org=NSF&from=fund
The Directorate for Engineering (ENG) and the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science program supports the active involvement of K-12 science, technology, engineering, computer and information science, and mathematics (STEM) teachers and community college faculty in engineering and computer science research in order to bring knowledge of engineering, computer science, and technological innovation into their classrooms. The goal is to help build long-term collaborative partnerships between K-12 STEM teachers, community college faculty, and the NSF university research community by involving the teachers and community college faculty in engineering and computer science research and helping them translate their research experiences and new knowledge into classroom activities. Partnerships with inner city schools or other high needs schools are especially encouraged, as is participation by underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. This announcement features two mechanisms for support of in-service and pre-service K-12 STEM teachers and community college faculty: RET supplements to ongoing ENG or CISE awards and new RET Site awards.

NSF: Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG)
NSF: Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG)
DUE: September 3, 2012
URL: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10599/nsf10599.htm
Synopsis The Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) supports research and education in the Earth, Ocean, Atmospheric, and Geospace Sciences. The Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG) Program is designed to address the fact that certain groups are underrepresented in the geosciences relative to their proportions in the general population. The primary goal of the OEDG Program is to increase participation in the geosciences by African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans (American Indians and Alaskan Natives), Native Pacific Islanders (Polynesians or Micronesians), and persons with disabilities. A secondary goal of the program is to increase the perceived relevance of the geosciences among broad and diverse segments of the population. The OEDG Program supports activities that will increase the number of members of underrepresented groups who:
Are involved in formal pre-college geoscience education programs;
Pursue and earn associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in the geosciences;
Enter geoscience careers; and
Participate in informal geoscience education programs.
The OEDG Program offers three funding Tracks: OEDG Planning Grants; Track 1: Proof-of-Concept Projects; and Track 2: Full-Scale Projects.

National Institutes of Health - Health Promotion Among Racial and Ethnic Minority Males (R01, R21)
National Institutes of Health - Health Promotion Among Racial and Ethnic Minority Males (R01, R21)
Synopsis:
The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) ecourages Research Project (R01) grant applications from applicants that propose to stimulate and expand research in the health of minority men. Specifically, this initiative is intended to: 1) enhance our understanding of the numerous factors (e.g., sociodemographic, community, societal, personal) influencing the health promoting behaviors of racial and ethnic minority males and their subpopulations across the life cycle, and 2) encourage applications focusing on the development and testing of culturally and linguistically appropriate health-promoting interventions designed to reduce health disparities among racially and ethnically diverse males and their subpopulations age 21 and older.
This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-10-237 , that encourages applications under the R21 mechanism. .
