4th Annual P3 Award: A National Student Design Competition for Sustainability Focusing on People, Prosperity, and the Planet
Deadline: 12/21/2006
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the auspices of the Office of Research and Development (ORD), National Center for Environmental Research (NCER), and its partners invite submissions to the 4th Annual P3 Award: A National Student Design Competition for Sustainability Focusing on People, Prosperity, and the Planet. P3 is the next step beyond P2--pollution prevention--and focuses on the three components of sustainability: People, Prosperity, and the Planet. The P3 Award will be given to the winners of a national, intercollegiate design competition among interdisciplinary student teams for their research, development, and design solutions to the scientific, technical, and policy challenges of sustainability. The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to select innovative design proposals for support to compete for the P3 Award.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to encourage the development of translational research partnerships between scientists who study basic behavioral processes and those who study the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental and behavioral disorders (including alcohol and drug use disorders) and the delivery of services to those suffering from those disorders. NIMH, NIDA, and NIAAA are issuing this FOA as part of a major, long-term commitment to (a) encourage the systematic translation of basic behavioral theory, methods, and findings into research designed to reduce the burden of mental illness and behavioral disorders, and (b) encourage basic behavioral scientists to seek a further understanding of behavioral processes through an exploration of how those processes are altered by mental and behavioral alcohol and drug use disorders.

International Extramural Associates Research Development Award (IEARDA)
Deadline: 08/29/2006
Health and Human Services (Department of)
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
International Extramural Associates Research Development Award (IEARDA) (G11)
The International Extramural Associates Research Development Award's (IEARDA) goal is to produce a cadre of trained research administrators in countries with limited resources to facilitate and/or develop the appropriate administrative infrastructure in their home institution for the implementation of a rigorous research program. This program will provide distance learning and NIH residency training, as well funding to augment an Office of Research Development at the grantee institution, for the purpose of strengthening biomedical and behavioral research activities. This Office will: Provide oversight and administrative management of extramural awards; support faculty who wish to secure external funding; serve as the main organizational unit for the technical development of grant proposal submissions and oversight; and, foster and facilitate research activities at the institution.
SUPPORT PROVIDED: This funding opportunity will use the G11 award mechanism. The NICHD intends to commit approximately $325,000 in total costs in FY 2007 to support up to three to six new awards in response to this RFA. An applicant may request a project period of up to five years and a budget of up to up to $35,000 in Direct Costs per year to support building the research administrative infrastructure for the institution. In addition, applicants may request up to $15,000 in the first year that can be used for travel and living allowance for the nternational Extramural Associate for participation in the residency program at NIH.
