Dear Colleagues,
Below is a scientific opportunity in the area of Nanoferroelectrics
and Multiferroics. I have worked with Dr. Greg Salamo before and he is
a good scientist with a good reputation at the National Science
Foundation. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact
Dr. Salamo directly at salamo at uark.edu.
Thank you,
Scott Little, PhD

Dear Project Directors,
We are currently putting together a team composed of researchers from
EPSCoR states in the area of Nanoferroelectrics and Multiferroics.
This team will compete in the future to obtain support for a Center for
Nanoferroelectrics and Multiferroics. I am asking your help in
distributing the attached invitation to researchers in your state.
The workshop is open to interested faculty and students from all EPSCoR
states capable of contributing to this vision. The workshop will provide
travel support for as many as 40 faculty or students.
The workshop will be held in Fayetteville Arkansas on this August 18 and
19, 2008 as described further on the attached invitation.
We feel that we have a real opportunity to bring the talent together on
this topic within the EPSCoR community and we hope you can assist us in
this effort. You are our best link to individuals whom we may not know
but who are researching in this area.
Thank you for your help

highlighted below (in the order they appear in the solicitation). The
solicitation is available at:
http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/E8-15720.htm
* FY 2009 Monkfish Research Set-Aside. This program provides a
mechanism to reduce the cost for vessel owners to participate in
cooperative monkfish research. No federal funds are provided for this
research; rather, projects funded under the program would be provided
with additional opportunity to harvest monkfish and generate income off
of the catch sold to offset research costs. Up to five awards are
anticipated. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher
education, hospitals, other nonprofits, commercial organizations,
individuals, and state, local and Native American tribal governments.
Applications are due Sept. 9, 2008.
* FY 2009 Sea Scallop Research Set-Aside. This program funds
scallop research and compensates participating vessels through the sale
of scallops harvested under a research set-aside (RSA) quota. No federal
funds are provided for such research. Funds generated from RSA landings
may be used to cover the cost of research activities, including vessel
costs, and to compensate vessels for expenses incurred during the
collection of set-aside scallops. Eligible applicants include
institutions of higher education, hospitals, other nonprofits,
commercial organizations, individuals, and state, local and Native
American tribal governments. Applications are due Aug. 25, 2008.

assistance for projects that seek to increase and improve the working
relationship between researchers from the National Marine Fisheries
Service, state fishery agencies, universities, and fishermen in the Gulf
of Mexico and off the South Atlantic states of Florida, Georgia, North
Carolina and South Carolina. The program is a means of involving
commercial and recreational fishermen in the collection of fundamental
fisheries information. Approximately $2 million is expected to be
available for awards ranging from $25,000 to $400,000. Eligible
applicants include institutions of higher education, nonprofits,
commercial organizations, individuals, and state, local, and Indian
tribal governments. Applications are due Sept. 9, 2008.

biology, resource assessment, socioeconomic assessment, management and
conservation, selected harvesting methods, and fish handling and
processing. Approximately $2 million is expected to be available for
awards ranging from $25,000 to $300,000. Eligible applicants include
institutions of higher education, nonprofits, commercial organizations,
individuals, and state, local and Indian tribal governments.
Applications are due Aug. 11, 2008.

Cost-sharing of at least 10 percent, but not more than 50 percent, of
total costs is required. Eligible institutions generally include
corporations, partnerships, associations and other nonfederal entities
based in the U.S. or Northern Mariana Islands. Applications are due Oct.
1, 2008.

of coastal pollution and habitat degradation. Up to $5.2 million is
expected to be available for one or more awards. Eligible applicants
include nonfederal institutions of higher education, other nonprofits,
commercial organizations, and state and local governments that possess
the statutory authority to receive financial assistance. Applications
are due Sept. 9, 2008.
* National Estuarine Research Reserve Graduate Research Fellowship
Program. This program is designed to fund high-quality research focused
on enhancing coastal zone management while providing students with an
opportunity to contribute to the research or monitoring program at a
particular reserve site. Applicants must be admitted to or enrolled in a
full-time master's or doctoral program at a U.S. accredited university.
Approximately 25 fellowships of $20,000 are anticipated. Cost-sharing of
at least 30 percent is required. Institutions eligible to receive awards
include institutions of higher education, other nonprofits, commercial
organizations, and state and local governments. Applications are due
Nov. 1, 2008.
* Climate Program Office for FY 2009. This program represents a
contribution to national and international programs designed to better
observe, understand, predict and respond to changes in the global
environment. The program builds on NOAA's mission requirements and
long-standing capabilities in climate and global change research and
prediction. In FY 2007, approximately $8 million in first-year funding
was available for 94 new awards having a project period of up to three
years. Similar funds and number of awards are anticipated in FY 2009.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, other

fellowship will be a cooperative agreement of $38,500 per year for up to
three years, with a cost-sharing requirement of $6,417. Fellows must be
U.S. citizens who are, at the time of application, admitted to a Ph.D.
degree program in population dynamics or a related field, such as
applied mathematics, statistics or quantitative ecology, at an
institution of higher education in the U.S. or its territories.
Alternately, fellows may submit a signed letter from the institution
indicating provisional acceptance to a Ph.D. degree program conditional
