SYNOPSIS: The goal of CSR is to foster exploratory, multi-disciplinary, longer-term university research leading to novel high-payoff solutions for the science and technology challenges faced by the semiconductor industry at and beyond the time horizons of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). Successful CSR projects will offer innovative and, possibly, disruptive solutions to the challenge of continuing the exponential gains in cost/performance benefits provided by the semiconductor industry for the foreseeable future, and may lead to novel applications for this industry. The role of this program is to stimulate non-traditional thinking about the issues facing the semiconductor industry. It is intended to seed new research and programs for the SRC GRC, SRC FCRP, and SRC NRI. Consistent with the incubator role of the initiative, the CSR proposals awarded will be 1 year non-overhead bearing grants at a funding level of $40K. Awardees are encouraged to develop a proposal for follow-on funding of expanded programs by the SRC GRC, SRC FCRP, SRC NRI or other agencies. Follow-on funding will depend on the availability of funds and strategic plan alignment. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 60704 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 6/8/2012 Sponsor: Chesapeake Bay Trust Title: Mini Grants Program--K-12 Environmental Education Requests Contact: Kacey Wetzel Tel: 410-974-2941x104 Email: kwetzel@cbtrust.org Website:          http://www.cbtrust.org/site/c.miJPKXPCJnH/b.5457547/k.28ED/Mini_Grant.htm Full Program:          http://www.cbtrust.org/atf/cf/%7BEB2A714E-8219-45E8-8C3D-50EBE1847CB8%7D/Mini%20Grant%20Application%20Package%20for%20K-12%20Env%20Ed%20Requests%20FY13_Final.doc SYNOPSIS: The Mini Grant Program is designed to engage Maryland citizens and students in activities that raise public awareness and participation in the restoration and protection of the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers.

SYNOPSIS: The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and Medical Research Council (MRC) are establishing a £25M UK Regenerative Medicine Platform (UKRMP) to address the technical and scientific challenges associated with translating promising scientific discoveries in this area towards clinical impact. At its core the UKRMP will comprise several interdisciplinary and complementary research hubs that will together provide a world-leading programme to promote the development of regenerative therapies. BBSRC, EPSRC and MRC are therefore calling for Expressions of Interest to establish high quality, collaborative research groupings to address the key challenges in translational regenerative medicine.
