Federal Funding Opportunities
Department of Defense
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is requesting
information regarding technologies to support persistence ocean
surveillance with station-keeping buoys, in anticipation of future
investments. Of interest are component technologies that enable a
positive energy balance over an extended period and can survive variable
and extreme maritime environments; or system concepts with alternative
energy harvesting technologies that maintain a positive energy balance,
are robust enough to sustain when ocean conditions are not favorable for
an energy harvesting modality (limited solar radiation, no wind, or no
waves), and can survive extreme environments. No awards will be made for
responses, which are due Aug. 21, 2008. For more information, visit:

development of optimum pavement rehabilitation strategies on rapid
renewal projects. Approximately $250,000 is expected to be available for
one contract award having a two-year project period. Proposals are due
Sept. 9, 2008. For more information, visit:

National Science Foundation (NSF)
NSF is soliciting input from government, academia and industry in the
U.S. and abroad to assist in
the development of a five-year strategic plan for the Networking and
Information Technology Research and Development Program. This plan will
focus on goals and capabilities that can only be achieved through
interagency cooperation and coordination and will complement and support
the strategic plans of the individual agencies. It will encompass
vision-driven themes in multiple dimensions to show R&D capabilities and
challenges by using scenarios that demonstrate societal and economic
impact. White papers are due Aug. 25, 2008. For more information, visit:
http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/E8-16975.htm
NSF, together with the Department of Defense (DoD), is soliciting
proposals for a university-based social and behavioral science research
activity focusing on areas of strategic importance to U.S. national
security policy. This program aims to (1) develop DoD's social and human
science intellectual capital in order to enhance its ability to address
future challenges; (2) enhance DoD's engagement with the social science
community; and (3) deepen the understanding of the social and behavioral
dimensions of national security issues. Up to $8 million is expected to
be available for grants, including 1-5 workshop awards of up to
$150,000, 8-10 small awards of up to $500,000 and 1-3 large awards of up
to $2 million. Eligible are the categories of proposers identified in
the Grant Proposal Guide
<http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=gpg> . Letters of
intent are required for proposals applying for small or large awards and
are due Sept. 30, 2008; all proposals are due Oct. 30, 2008. For more

NSF is soliciting proposals for its CISE Cross-Cutting Programs for FY
2009 and FY 2010. This solicitation covers programs that cut across all
three divisions in computer and information science and engineering
(CISE) and seeks proposals that are scientifically timely and that
benefit from the intellectual contributions of researchers with
expertise in a number of computing fields and/or subfields. The
cross-cutting programs for FY 2009 and 2010 are data-intensive
computing; network science and engineering; and trustworthy computing.
Approximately $75 million is expected to be available annually over
fiscal years 2009-10 to support 80-110 grants. Eligible are U.S.
colleges and universities acting on behalf of their faculty members and
nonprofit, nonacademic organizations, including independent museums,
observatories, research labs, professional societies and similar
organizations in the U.S. associated with educational or research
activities. Proposals for medium, large and small projects,
respectively, may be submitted between three windows in 2008: Oct.
1/Oct. 31, Nov. 1/Nov. 28 and Dec. 1/Dec. 17. For more information,
visit: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf08578
NSF is soliciting proposals for the Graduate Research Fellowship
Program. This program awards fellowships for graduate study leading to
research-based master's or doctoral degrees in the science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields supported by NSF. The program
is intended for students who are at the early stages of their graduate
study. Up to $64.8 million in FY 2009 funding is expected to be
available for 900 to 1,600 awards. The stipend level is $30,000 for a
12-month tenure period, prorated monthly at $2,500 for shorter periods
as approved by NSF. The cost of education allowance is $10,500 per
tenure year. Fellows also are allowed an additional one-time $1,000
international research travel allowance. All awards will be for a
maximum of three years, usable over a five-year period. Eligible are
U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. who have completed no
more than 12 months of full-time graduate study. Applicants must
affiliate with an accredited U.S. university, college or nonprofit
academic institution or appropriate international institution of higher
education offering advanced degrees in STEM prior to activating a
fellowship award. Application deadlines vary by field of study,
beginning with Nov. 3, 2008. For more information, visit:
http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf08593
NSF is soliciting preproposals for its Sustainable Digital Data
Preservation and Access Network Partners program. This program seeks to
create a set of exemplar national and global data research
infrastructure organizations that provide unique opportunities to
communities of researchers to advance science and engineering research
and learning. The new types of organizations envisioned in the
solicitation will integrate library and archival sciences,
cyberinfrastructure, computer and information sciences, and domain
science expertise to perform a variety of functions. Up to $100 million
over five years is expected to be available for five awards of up to $20
million. The initial term of each award is expected to be five years
with the potential for one five-year renewal. Eligible are U.S. colleges
and universities and nonprofit, nonacademic organizations, such as
independent museums, observatories, research labs, professional
societies and similar organizations in the U.S. associated with
educational or research activities. Required preproposals are due Nov.
13, 2008; full proposals are due May 15, 2009. For more information,
visit: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf07601

Best Buy
Best Buy invites applications for its Teach Award program. This program
recognizes creative uses of interactive technology in K-12 classrooms.
Winning projects focus on kids using technology to learn standards-based
curriculum, rather than on teaching students to use technology or
educators using technology that children aren't able to use hands-on.
The goal is to reward schools for the successful interactive programs
they have launched using available technology. This year, $2 million
will be awarded to accredited nonprofit K-12 public, private, parochial,
magnet and charter schools in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Awards of
$10,000 will be granted to up to 15 schools serving ninth grade students
that display the greatest creativity in their projects and the clearest
vision of how to increase the school's use of interactive technology.
Awards ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 also will be granted to programs
that engage students at any grade level by creatively integrating
interactive technology into the curriculum. All awards are in the form
of Best Buy Gift Cards. Applications are due Oct. 12, 2008. For more
information, visit: https://bestbuyteach.scholarshipamerica.org/
