FY 2008 NASA Research Announcement-Global Climate Change Education
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of
Education, in cooperation with NASA's Science Mission Directorate, is
accepting proposals in response to the NASA Research Announcement
(NRA): Global Climate Change Education. The Global Climate Change
Education project is designed to improve the quality of global
climate change and Earth system science education at the elementary,
secondary, and undergraduate levels. Each funded proposal is
expected to take advantage of NASA's unique contributions in climate
science to enhance students' academic experiences and/or to improve
educators' abilities to engage and stimulate their students.
Proposals will be accepted from educational institutions or other
nonprofit organizations. NASA Centers, Federal Agencies, Federally
Funded Research and Development Centers, education-related companies
and other institutions may apply through partnership with the lead
organization.
Review the NRA for detailed eligibility requirements and proposal
limitations. Proposers must submit a Notice of Intent to propose by
August 29, 2008. Full proposals are due no later than October 24, 2008.
Proposals must be submitted electronically via NSPIRES, the NASA
Headquarters solicitations website:
http://www.nspires.nasaprs.com <http://www.nspires.nasaprs.com/> .

project period of up to eight months; however, longer grant periods of
up to 20 months may be considered. Applications are due Sept. 4, 2008.
For more information, visit: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/fo/sbir.cfm
Department of Defense (DoD)
The Department of the Air Force is seeking sources capable of software
development, maintenance and evolution for the DoD Mission Planning
Enterprise, which encompasses partnering organizations in the U.S. Air
Force, Army, Navy and Special Operations Command. Mission planning
systems provide warfighters with the tools to plan missions and transfer
required data to the aircraft avionics. The scope of the potential
contract includes future mission planning software development,
maintenance and integration potentially for the next 10 years. No awards
will be made for responses, which are due Aug. 5, 2008. For more
information, visit:

The Air Force is soliciting white papers proposing to develop novel
sensor or sensing system concepts for the detection of undesired
material state within aircraft structures. Sensing systems for metallic,
composite and hybrid structures are necessary to support advanced
aircraft maintenance management activities incorporating diagnostic and
prognostic concepts. Approximately $5 million over fiscal years 2008-12
is expected to be available for 3-5 contract awards having a project
period of up to three years. Eligibility is unrestricted. White papers
are due Aug. 11, 2008; invited full proposals will be due Sept. 8, 2008.

The Air Force continues to solicit proposals for its Sensor Technology
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Open-Ended Broad Agency
Announcement. This five-year open-ended solicitation spans the three
major technology thrust areas of automatic target recognition,
electro-optics/infrared, and radio frequency. The most recent call for
proposals focuses on electronic warfare battle management, which
addresses the warfighter's need to effectively manage and coordinate
multiple sensors and platforms in order to realize a system of systems
electronic attack, electronic support, and electronic protection for a
2020 operational capability. Approximately $8.9 million over fiscal
years 2008-11 is expected to be available for one contract award having
a duration of 37 months. Eligibility is unrestricted. Proposals are due
Aug. 25, 2008. For more information, visit:

The Air Force continues to solicit proposals for the Advanced
Development of Optically Hardened Materials program. This five-year
open-ended program seeks to advance the state of the art of hardening of
sensor materials operating in the visible through long-wave infrared
spectrum. The most recent call for proposals focuses on
visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) detector hardening technology, with the
goal of characterizing laser effects, understanding the origins of these
effects, modeling the electrical and optical performance, and applying
lessons learned to the design and fabrication of intrinsically hardened
Vis/NIR detectors. Approximately $2.6 million over fiscal years 2009-13
is expected to be available for one award. Eligibility is unrestricted.
Proposals are due Sept. 3, 2008. For more information, visit:

The Navy will be soliciting proposals for spacecraft engineering
software, research, development and support. This includes the technical
and managerial tasks required to design, develop, test, maintain,
enhance and provide configuration control for all software modules
related to spacecraft and space component development/test and system
operations. One contract award having a project period of up to five
years is expected to result from a full solicitation, once released. The
solicitation will be a 100 percent small business set-aside. For more

b585dd3ad564e4&tab=core&_cview=1> The Department of the Army is
soliciting white papers describing varying technological approaches for
improving far target location (FTL) for future targeting systems. By
improving FTL accuracy, the Army looks to increase lethality, improve
survivability, significantly reduce collateral damage, minimize
noncombatant casualties, decrease the logistical burden of failed
munitions, increase engagement ranges, and execute more precise
maneuvers. Contract awards may be made. Eligibility is unrestricted.
White papers are due Aug. 19, 2008. For more information, visit:

The Army is soliciting proposals for radio frequency (RF) technology
solutions to detect and locate improvised explosive device threats. In
particular, for Phase 1, the Army is seeking prototype, technically
mature RF technology to participate in an experiment in a relevant
environment. The technology must either be capable of performing on the
move (at least 8 mph) or have size, weight and power characteristics
that would allow it to operate as a handheld unit. Proposals selected
for funding for Phase I will be awarded a cooperative agreement.
Eligible are degree-granting universities, nonprofit organizations or
industrial concerns. This solicitation will remain open for three years.
Proposals may be submitted at any time during the open period; however,
they are due Aug. 29, 2008, for the initial evaluation phase. For more

mechanism, and these opportunities sometimes run in parallel with
earlier announcements of identical scope that utilize different funding
mechanisms. Links are provided within the solicitations to the related
announcements in such cases. Specific funding information (e.g.
anticipated funding amount, number of awards, project duration) will
depend upon the quality, duration and costs of the applications
received, unless specified otherwise.

for installation and testing the instrumentation to implement one or
more screens. Approximately $4 million is expected to be available for
5-7 awards having a project period of up to two years. Applicants may
request a budget for direct costs of up to $500,000 per year. Eligible

"reference" microbial genome sequences, which in turn will aid in the
analysis of the complex microbial populations resident in and on the
human body. Approximately $2 million in FY 2009 funding is expected to
be available for up to 10 awards, including 2-4 R01 grants having a
project period of up to three years and 2-6 R21 grants having a project
period of up to two years. Eligibility is open, except for faith- or
community-based organizations (see note on eligibility above). Letters
of intent are due Sept. 2, 2008; applications are due Oct. 2, 2008. More
information on R01 awards is available at
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-08-026.html. For R21
awards, visit
