The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is hosting the 2008 Naval Science &
Technology Partnership Conference at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in
Washington, DC, 12-14 August.
The theme for this eighth annual conference is 'Sustaining the Edge:
Serving the Next Generation Warfighter, Now.' The primary objectives for
this conference are to broaden our Science and Technology partnership
base, deepen existing relations and explore new ideas with small
business, industry and academia by providing unprecedented access to
ONR's program managers.
I urge you to attend this important conference so you can partner with
ONR as we meet the challenges of an ever-changing warfare environment
and equip tomorrow's warfighter today. As a team, we will develop
revolutionary technologies that will produce relevant results for our
warfighters and get the access you need to do research or business with
ONR.

Federal Funding Opportunities
Department of Agriculture
The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service invites
applications for FY 2008 funding to support National Focus Fund Projects
under the Renewable Resources Extension Act of 1978. This Act provides
for an expanded and comprehensive extension program for forest and
rangeland renewable resources through the support of projects that (1)
develop and implement eXtension Communities of Practice, (2) have
national or regional relevancy or (3) develop new and innovative
projects that can be replicated at other institutions. Successful
applications will, in part, demonstrate the ability to develop new
technologies and innovations that improve extension services related to
forest and rangeland ecosystems. Approximately $297,000 is available to
support up to four awards having a project period of up to two years.
The majority of the appropriated funds are distributed to eligible
institutions (i.e., 1862 and 1890 land-grant institutions) based on a
formula that considers the geographic extent, ecosystem productivity,
economic contribution, and population for each state. Applications are
due July 28, 2008. For more information, visit:
http://www.csrees.usda.gov/funding/rfas/rrea_nff.html
Department of Defense
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting
innovative R&D proposals in the area of silicon-based photonic analog
signal processing engines with reconfigurability. The overall goal of
this funding opportunity is to create novel silicon photonic integrated
circuit elements and associated programmable filter array concepts that
can be fabricated in a CMOS-compatible process and that enable
high-throughput, low-power signal processors which overcome the limits
of conventional electronic digital signal processing technology.
Multiple awards are anticipated; eligibility is unrestricted. Proposals
may be submitted at any time until May 29, 2009; however, they are due
July 14, 2008, for the initial evaluation phase. For more information,

awards. The goal of this consortium is to identify and characterize
progenitor cell lineages, to direct the differentiation of stem and
progenitor cells to desired cell fates, and to develop new strategies to
address the unique challenges presented by the transplantation of these
cells. The consortium will assemble multiple independent research
projects, each with a multidisciplinary team of principal investigators,
core research support facilities, and career development components to
establish synergistic virtual hubs focused on progenitor cell biology.
Approximately $500,000 in FY 2009 funding is expected to be available
for 15-20 awards having a project period of up to six months. Direct
costs are limited to $25,000. Eligibility appears to be unrestricted;

NASA is soliciting proposals for ground-based research in the
fundamental space biology areas of microbial, plant and cell biology.
Fundamental space biology addresses basic questions of how life responds
to gravity and space environments. The force of gravity plays a major
role in shaping life into its myriad forms. Eligibility is unrestricted.
Notices of intent are due July 7, 2008; proposals are due Sept. 8, 2008.

National Science Foundation (NSF)
NSF is soliciting proposals for the Instrument Development for
Biological Research Program. This program supports the development of
novel instrumentation or instrumentation that has been improved by an
order of magnitude or more in some aspects. Examples of such
instrumentation include analytical instruments, sensors, microscopes of
various types, and related devices for detection or measurement of
biological molecules, structures or phenomena at any level, from
individual molecules to whole ecosystems. Supported instruments should
have a significant impact on the study of biological systems at any
level. Approximately $4 million is expected to be available for 15
grants having a project period of up to four years. Eligible are U.S.
academic institutions; U.S. nonprofit research organizations, including
museums, research laboratories, professional societies and similar
organizations in the U.S. that are directly associated with educational
or research activities; and consortia of these organizations. Proposals
are due Sept. 5, 2008. For more information, visit:

NSF is soliciting proposals for the Mathematical Sciences Research
Institutes program. Through the support of research institutes in the
mathematical sciences, this program enables large-scale group efforts
involving broad segments of the scientific community. Goals of the
program include advancing research in the mathematical sciences,
increasing the impact of the mathematical sciences in other disciplines,
enabling the mathematical sciences to respond to national needs, and
expanding the talent base engaged in mathematical research in the U.S.
Up to $20 million in FY 2010 funding is expected to be available for 4-6
continuing grants having a project period of up to five years, with the
possibility of a five-year renewal. Awards ranging from $3 million to $5
million per year may be made. 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 are
due Feb. 27, 2009. For more information, visit:

New F&A Schedule (Pending Federal approval)
Effective April 1, 2008, all newly submitted proposals must include the
correct F&A rate(s) for the appropriate year(s), including multi-year
proposals. The Clemson F&A agreement, effective March 5, 2007, includes
an increase of one-half percent each year for the next two years for
On-campus Organized Research. The negotiated rate for FY 07/08 is 47.5%,
FY 08/09 is 48%, and FY 09/10 is 48.5%. The 48.5% rate should be used
for fiscal years after FY10 until we have a new rate agreement.
