Unlike the terrestrial internet, a future Solar System Internet (SSI)must be capable of accommodating intermittent connectivity, long or variable delays,asymmetric data rates, and high data loss rates. The underlying capabilitythat enablesthe SSI is commonly referred to as Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN). The SSI willemploy both opportunistic and scheduled communications paths to optimize routing amongnodes of the SSI, while maintaining low communications overhead and data processing load. NASA anticipates that all elements of its evolving Space Communications and Navigation(SCaN) architecture will interface usingthe SSI. This architecture embraces thefollowing:a.Spacecraft and landed vehicles distributed across the Solar System;b.The ground and space-based facilities and data communications assets of what arepresently known as the Near Earth Network (NEN), the Deep Space Network (DSN), and theSpace Network (SN);c.Data communications elements on and around bodies beyond Earth, including theintercommunications components of individual free flying spacecraft, collaborativeconstellations of spacecraft, or networks of landed vehicles; d.Data relays/gateways in remote locations, such as orbiting the Moon and Mars; ande.Planetary surface local and wide area networks (note that viewed in this context,the terrestrial Internet is subsumed in the SSI as a wide area network).NASA wishes to support the development and mission infusion of international datacommunications standards for newDTN technologies through open cooperation andcollaboration from and among the worldwide industrial supplier base to ensure that the evolution of the future DTNtechnologies (anticipated to be used by both government andindustry) achieve the highest level of international interoperability and coordination.Specific contributions from industry could include: integrated spacecraft; spacecraftpayloads; spacecraft components (such as communications terminals and onboard networks);local and wide area networks for deployment on remote bodies and planetary surfaces(including mobile, ad-hoc networks); integrated ground network components (such as aground station running DTN data exchange with mission users across the terrestrialInternet); and end-to-space mission applications that are inherently capable of runningacross a DTN network where there is seldom a contemporaneous end-to-end data path.In support of this effort, NASA has initiated a Space DTN Project that involves thecooperative work of its major research Centers and also some of NASAs internationalpartners. As part of NASA's support for the Project, it may make facilities available totest and demonstrate new capabilities, using a ground-based DTN Engineering Network(DEN). Flight test and demonstration capabilities may also be available, usingspace-based testbeds, including spacecraft thatare in their extended mission phases andthus may be made available for modest reprogramming. A major thrust of the NASA Projectwill be to use the InternationalSpace Station as an environment for the internationaldevelopment and deploymentof DTN capabilities, and these facilities may be madeavailable.NASA is seeking to form a consortium of experts, thought leaders, and market leaders as aDTN Coordinating Group (DTN-CG). This Coordinating Group will contain members fromacademia, space systems companies, space communications services companies and thegeneral supplier base of commercial space mission support equipment. The DTN-CG will serve as a worldwide body for promulgating and deploying the DTN technologiessupporting the SSI. NASA envisions that members of this Coordinating Group will: 1.Collaborate on specifying the technology and standards that will apply to theSSI;2.Review and provide inputs into architectural trade studies across the elements ofthe SSI architecture to determine the optimum characteristics and protocols; 3.Exchange information on the availability or future availability of DTN-enabledground and space product lines;4.Contribute in the planning and participate in demonstrations performed on NASAsground-based DTN Engineering Network and DTN-enabled flight systems, includingutilization of the ISS as an international testbed; and 5.Conduct or support R&Dto develop innovative implementation technologies thatcan expedite the infusion of DTN into future interoperable space products.This Opportunity seeks participants in the DTN Coordinating Group. NASA anticipatesusing its authority to enter into Space Act Agreements to support this activity,including providing necessary access to NASA personnel and technical information,however, there will be no provision of funds in connection with this opportunity. Respondents will be responsible for financing their own activities.

Davis, Ph.D. Tel: 301-594-9692 Email: davisci@mail.nih.gov Full Program:          http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-10-035.html Deadline Note: The deadlines for receipt of standard applications under this announcement are: February 05, June 05, and October 05 annually. The deadlines for receipt of AIDS-related applications are: January 7, May 7, and September 7 annually. This program will expire on January 8, 2013. SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites research applications to enhance our understanding about the dynamic interrelationship that exists between bioactive food components (and/or combinations thereof) and cancer prevention. Although much evidence exists that dietary components are linked to cancer prevention, the interactions among dietary bioactive compounds and food combinations remains under-investigated. Applications are encouraged to consider either multiple dietary bioactive components, intact foods or multiple foods utilizing physiologically relevant concentrations of the agents. New genetic technologies may be employed to study the impact of dietary components on complex cellular and molecular networks, as part of the effort to better understand the basis for the multifaceted interactions of food components with cancer prevention mechanisms. Specifically, applications that apply new high-throughput genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and metabolomic technologies to prioritize molecular targets of dietary components are highly encouraged. The sites of action that may be evaluated include carcinogen metabolism, DNA repair, cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, hormonal regulation, energetics, inflammation, and/or angiogenesis. In addition, applications should either evaluate multiple molecular targets within a cancer process or multiple processes in order to prioritize which process(es) is/are most involved in bringing about a phenotypic change. It is hoped that advances in this area may assist in optimizing cancer prevention while minimizing potential toxicity due to food components. The resulting information will help define which foods or food components should be considered in isolation or in combination when developing dietary strategies to reduce cancer risk and/or modify tumor behavior. This program will use the NIH Research Project (R01) award mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 91832 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/7/2013 Sponsor: National Cancer Institute/NIH/DHHS Title: Academic-Industrial Partnerships for Development and Validation of In Vivo Imaging Systems and Methods for Cancer Investigations (R01) Contact: Houston Baker, Ph.D. Tel: 301-594-9117 Email: bakerhou@mail.nih.gov Full Program:          http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-169.html Deadline Note: The deadlines for receipt of standard R01 applications under this announcement are: February 5, June 5, and October 5 annually.

The deadline for receipt of optional letters of intent is January 7, 2013. The deadline for receipt of full applications is February 7, 2013, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization. SYNOPSIS: National Institute on Aging (NIA) invites applications that propose extension of research activities on osteoimmunology in order to broaden our understanding of aging aspects of osteoimmunology, using animal models. Most studies in this field have been conducted in young mouse models (usually animals less than 6 months of age). Under those conditions, it is not possible to ascertain the effects of aging in the balance between bone metabolism and immune function. Studies sought under this FOA should focus on the impact of the age-related decline in immune function on bone homeostasis or conversely on the age-related changes in the bone marrow niche affecting the immune interactions with bone. Research in osteoimmunology aims to understand the interplay between the immune and skeletal systems, and how these interactions lead to disease when disrupted. In the clinical setting, such disequilibria and the resulting diseases are most commonly found in the elderly, which are afflicted by both immune senescence and loss of bone homeostasis. This FOA is intended as a vehicle to allow investigators already working in the field of osteoimmunology to expand the scope of their research, so as to allow an enhanced understanding of the field within the context of the clinically relevant setting of aging.

SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites applications that propose to study biological processes involving the cellular organelles in alcohol-induced tissue injury. Excessive alcohol consumption can damage many organ systems including the liver, heart, pancreas, brain, and lung. However, the mechanisms for these injuries are currently not fully understood. Cellular organelles play an important role in cellular functions and are significantly involved in alcohol-induced tissue injury. Thus, studies of alcohol’s effects on the structure and function of cellular organelles are critical to better understand the mechanisms of alcohol-induced injuries and to develop new strategies for their diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this FOA is to: (1) better understand how acute or chronic alcohol consumption affects the structure and function of cellular organelles, and in turn, how these changes contribute to alcohol-induced injury; (2) investigate how variations of proteins in cellular organelles, or their regulation and function, including cellular signaling pathways, contribute to an individual’s response to acute or chronic alcohol intake and alcohol-induced tissue injury; (3) develop potential biomarkers for prognosis and diagnosis of tissue injury, or identify new targets for therapeutic interventions. This FOA aims to foster the utilization of innovative experimental design and emerging technologies, such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, as well as novel microscopic imaging techniques that illuminate functions in intact cells and tissues, to generate new mechanistic and clinical insights into alcohol-induced tissue injuries.

SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites applications that propose studying the role of cellular stress responses, the cytoplasmic classical stress response or heat shock response (HSR) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, in alcohol-induced tissue injury and tissue protection. While excessive alcohol use causes organ damage, moderate alcohol consumption may be beneficial. The underlying molecular mechanisms for this apparent dichotomy of alcohol’s harmful and salutary effects are currently not fully understood. Alcohol induces cellular stress pathways in the cytoplasm and in the endoplasmic reticulum that may significantly be involved in alcohol-induced tissue injury or mediate tissue protection depending on the quantity, frequency, duration, and temporal pattern of drinking. Hence, studies of the effects of alcohol on cellular stress pathways are critical to understand the mechanisms of alcohol-induced injuries or protection to develop new strategies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this FOA is to: (1) acquire insight into how acute or chronic alcohol consumption affects cellular stress pathways and in turn, how these changes contribute to alcohol-induced injury/protection; (2) investigate how alcohol induced stress responses mediate cell survival and death signaling pathways at macromolecular, organelle, cellular and organism level contributing to alcohol-induced tissue injury/protection; (3) develop potential stress related biomarkers for prognosis, diagnosis of tissue injury/protection, furthermore identify new targets for their therapeutic interventions. Utilizing innovative experimental design and emerging technologies, such as deep sequencing, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, and novel imaging techniques these investigations are expected to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how alcohol affects the evolutionally conserved stress pathways and elucidate their roles in tissue injuries and repair.

A better understanding of decision making processes in the context of brain neural networks and their associated functions would lead to the development of better strategies to reduce the frequency of HIV-risk behaviors. Therefore, this FOA encourages applications to study 1) cognitive, motivational or emotional mechanisms and/or 2) brain neuroendocrine and reinforcement systems that related to HIV-risk behaviors or treatment non-compliance. Interdisciplinary studies that incorporate approaches from psychology, economics, anthropology, sociology, decision sciences, neuroscience and computational modeling are encouraged. This program will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 92005 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/7/2013 Sponsor: National Institute on Drug Abuse/NIH/DHHS Title: Neuroscience Research on Drug Abuse (R21) Contact: Nancy S.

The Government willnot pay for any costs associated with the preparation of proposals, travel to present oral presentations in support of the proposals, nor initial preparation and submission of a project plan. There is no commitment by SERDP to make any contract awards, nor to be responsible for any money expended by the offeror beforecontract award is made. It is expected that multiple awards totaling approximately $8.0 million will be made dependent on the quality of proposals received andavailability of funds. Awardees under this BAA will be selected through a multi-stage review process. The pre-proposal review step allows interested organizations to submit research pre-proposals for Government consideration without incurring the expense of a full proposal. Based upon the pre-proposal evaluation by SERDP, each of the pre-proposal submitters will be notified as to whether SERDP requests or does not request the submission of a full proposal. As noted in the instructions, evaluation criteria for pre-proposals are, in decreasing order of importance, Technical Merit, Personnel, and Cost. Due to the anticipated volume ofpre-proposals that will be received, SERDP will not provide debriefs on those that are not requested to submit a full proposal. Instructions for preparing a full proposal will be provided at the time of notification. A request for submission of a full proposal does not indicate a decision has been made to make an award for that work. Evaluation criteria for full proposals will include Transition Plan and Small Business Participation, in addition to the criteria above. Small business participation is strongly encouraged as the government goal is that small business, historically black colleges, universities and minority institutionsparticipation represent 5 percent of the total contract award value. If a full proposal is requested and the proposed budget is $650,000 or more, a Small Business Participation Plan (SBPP) must accompany the full proposal, whether it is submitted by a large or small business vendor. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541712 with the small business size standard of 500 employees and $4.5M respectively. Prior to award, selected contract proposalsthat exceed $650,000 submitted by all but small business concerns must be accompanied by a Small, Small Disadvantaged and Woman-Owned, Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9. The HECSA Small Business Office website at www.hecsa.usace.army.mil/hxsb provides information on how to prepare a subcontracting plan, along with links to find small businesses to participate.

This announcement seeks out proposals that demonstrate and validate innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective technologies and/or methodologies that will lead to accelerated closure of environmental sites across the Air Force and serve the Air Force's future environmental needs. Validated technologies and methodologies must comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, policies and guidance in the EnvironmentalRestoration Program (ERP) and Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP). This solicitation is not to test theoretical concepts or technologies and methodologies that currently exist solely in a laboratory research and development (R&D) phase or that have already been tested and validated multiple times in the field (i.e., a service). The Restoration Program areas of need for this announcement are: a. Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) Remediation Technologies: To date the Air Force has experienced little to no success regarding low energy technologies (i.e., passive in situ) for the remediation of PFCs. Additionally, discussions with3M and a review of Vecitis1 et al., 2009 indicate that simple oxidative and reductive approaches may not work with these recalcitrant compounds. Furthermore, proposers should be aware of ongoing studies funded through AFCEC BAA Program andDoD SERDP/ESTCP to avoid redundancy. In addition, the Air Force prefers in situremediation technologies; however, PFC remediation challenges may dictate the use of ex situ technologies. For example, treatment trains as part of an existingpump and treatment system may be appropriate. Beware that the Air Force has a policy that prohibits the installation of a new pump and treat system without Headquarters level approval. Therefore, proposals should identify PFCs innovative treatment technologies but any technology or methodology should consider any relative successes or failures as highlighted by Vecitis et al., 2009, AFCEC BAA Program, and DoD SERDP/ESTCP. b. 1,4-Dioxane Remediation Technologies: To date AFCEC BAA Program and DoD SERDP/ESTCP have funded many projects with particular focus on in situ treatment technologies for 1,4-dioxane groundwater remediation. Proposers should be aware of ongoing studies to avoid redundancy. The Air Force prefers in situ remediation technologies but recognizes the limitations of 1,4-dioxane remediation and will support the use of ex situ technologies. For example, treatment trains as part of an existing pump and treatment system may be appropriate. Additionally, the Air Force has a policy that prohibits the installation ofa new pump and treat system without Headquarters level approval. Therefore, proposals should identify 1,4-dioxane innovative treatment technologies but any technology or methodology should consider any relative successes or failures as highlighted by AFCEC BAA Program and DoD SERDP/ESTCP. Eligible Offeror/Applicants: This requirement is restricted to US - companies, academic institutions, non-profit institutions, and/or government agencies. Foreign participants and/or individuals may participate as subcontractors to the extent that such participants comply with any necessary Non-Disclosure Agreements, Security Regulations, Export Control Laws, and other governing statutes applicable under the circumstances.

The CSRR was developed as a replacement for the existing OHIO Class submarine Integrated Radio Room (IRR). CSRR has been implemented on the USS OHIO, USS VIRGINIA, USS SEAWOLF, and USS LOS ANGELES Class submarines. The CSRR integrates physical components from other Programs Of Record (PORs) (i.e. Automated Digital Network System (ADNS), Digital Modular Radio (DMR), Extremely High Frequency/Follow-On Terminal (EHF/FOT), Global Broadcast Service (GBS), Super High Frequency (SHF), Submarine Single Messaging System (SubSMS), and ancillary equipment) into a common architecture. The CSRR C&M software effectively manages these physical components to control, process and disseminate Command, Control Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) information to provide the submarine fleet with secure, reliable, and covert communications. The technical approach to this effort is based on the concept of a CSRR that includes a common open systems architecture, common software, common technical documentation, and a single Software Support Activity (SSA). The common software configuration approach includes the structure of the code; the databases used to track requirements, software source files, baseline documentation, host equipments/processors, and the verification and validation process/ procedures. The contractor will be required to maintain and provide enhancements to the existing CSRR C&M software, the most recent version of which will be provided to the successful offeror at contract award. Software code and specification documents associated with the CSRR C&M software will be provided to industry on a separate secure site limited to U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) contractors. The Government anticipates providing updated software code and documents periodically through the procurement process. It is the responsibility of interested offerors to monitor the information contained on the website to ensure they are accessing the most recent versions. To request access to the secure website, each company must sign and return the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) posted on the SPAWAR e-commerce site entitled, "Bidder's Repository NDA" and provide the e- mail address and phone number for up to two users to Patricia Ponce-Feliu patricia.poncefeliu@navy.mil. Each user is required to be a U.S. DoD contractor and have a valid DoD Common Access Card (CAC) or ECA issued PKI certificate to gain access to the website. If an interested company is a U.S. DoD contractor and does not have a valid DoD or ECA-issued PKI certificate, contact Mike Philbrook for further instruction. Once status as a US DoD contractor has been confirmed, the Government will provide instructions on how to access the secured site. The Government anticipates issuing a Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) type contract. The period of performance will be five (5) years (one base year and four one-year options). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541330- Engineering Services. The estimated date for solicitation release is October 2012.CITE: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=ebd3b84e3d5e02b43e476ce1f8dc5402&tab=core&_cview=0 Posted 07/12/12 (W-SN02800944).
