SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites applications to expand the national capability for research in the health sciences by providing grant support to minority institutions that offer doctorate degrees in the health professions or in a health-related science. These institutions historically have trained professionals from diverse backgrounds who provide health care to minority populations and are uniquely positioned to engage these populations in research and in the translation of research advances into culturally appropriate, measurable and sustained improvements in health outcomes. The primary goals of the RCMI G12 Centers are to (1) develop research infrastructure to enhance institutional biomedical research capacity; (2) enable investigators to become more successful in obtaining competitive extramural support for the conduct of biomedical and/or behavioral research, particularly on diseases that disproportionately impact minority populations; and (3) foster environments conducive to professional development in the biomedical sciences. This FOA will utilize the NIH G12 Research Centers in Minority Institutions Award mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 31093 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 12/26/2012 Sponsor: Department of the Army Title: RFP -- AMENDMENT--ANSF English Language Training Contact: Kelly Gerlach, Contracting Officer Tel: Email: kelly.a.gerlach@afghan.swa.army.mil Full Program:          https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=ab313b59f9a1a519baeb94c1c459fa07&tab=core&_cview=0 SYNOPSIS: U -- ANSF ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRAINING - SOLICITATION SOL W56KJD-13-R-004 POC Kelly Gerlach,, Wayne Shavers, POP Multiple locations throughout Afghanistan, Afghanistan WEB: FBO.gov Permalink https://www.fbo.gov/notices/ab313b59f9a1a519baeb94c1c459fa07 E-MAIL: kelly.a.gerlach@afghan.swa.army.mil, wayne.shavers@afghan.swa.army.mil kelly.a.gerlach@afghan.swa.army.mil, wayne.shavers@afghan.swa.army.mil NAICS: 611630 Non-native Speaker English Language Training (ELT) Services Solicitation The government has a requirement for Non-Native Speaker English Language Training (ELT) to support the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).

SYNOPSIS: The Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (TUES) program seeks to improve the quality of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for all undergraduate students. This solicitation especially encourages projects that have the potential to transform undergraduate STEM education, for example, by bringing about widespread adoption of classroom practices that embody understanding of how students learn most effectively. Thus transferability and dissemination are critical aspects for projects developing instructional materials and methods and should be considered throughout the project's lifetime. More advanced projects should involve efforts to facilitate adaptation at other sites. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 63399 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/15/2013 Sponsor: Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences/NSF Title: Developmental and Learning Sciences (DLS)--Individual Investigator Research Projects (SBE--BCS) Contact: Peter Vishton- Program Director Tel: 703-292-7305 Email: pvishton@nsf.gov Website:          http://www07.grants.gov/search/search.do?oppId=46236&flag2006=false&mode=VIEW Full Program:          http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=8671 SYNOPSIS: DLS supports fundamental research that increases our understanding of cognitive, linguistic, social, cultural, and biological processes related to children's and adolescents' development and learning.

SYNOPSIS: Through the Cyberlearning: Transforming Education program, NSF seeks to integrate advances in technology with advances in what is known about how people learn to: better understand how people learn with technology and how technology can be used productively to help people learn, through individual use and/or through collaborations mediated by technology; better use technology for collecting, analyzing, sharing, and managing data to shed light on learning, promoting learning, and designing learning environments; and design new technologies for these purposes, and advance understanding of how to use those technologies and integrate them into learning environments so that their potential is fulfilled. Cyberlearning awards will be made in three research categories, each focusing on a different stage of research and development: Exploratory (EXP), Design and Implementation (DIP), and Integration and Deployment (INDP). The Cyberlearning program will also support small Capacity-Building Projects (CAP) and a Cyberlearning Resource Center (CRC). --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 30187 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/16/2013 Sponsor: National Cancer Institute/NIH/DHHS Title: Tobacco Control Regulatory Research - R01 Contact: Robert Vollinger, M.S.P.H.
