* Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Program.
This program seeks to enable HBCUs to expand their role and
effectiveness in addressing community development needs in their
localities, including neighborhood revitalization, housing, and economic
development, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income.
Approximately $9 million is expected to be available for grants having a
project period of up to three years. Awards of up to $700,000 may be
made. Eligible are colleges and universities that meet the definition of
Historically Black Colleges and Universities, as determined by the
Department of Education.
* Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU) Program. This program
seeks to enable TCUs to build, expand, renovate and equip their own
facilities, and to expand the role of the TCUs into the community,
through the provision of needed services such as health programs, job
training and economic development activities. Approximately $5 million
is expected to be available for grants having a project period of up to
three years. Awards of up to $750,000 may be made. Eligible are Tribal
Colleges and Universities that meet the definition of a TCU established
in Title III of the 1998 Amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965.
NASA
NASA is seeking partners to participate in developing a proposal
addressing the goals and objectives of its Advanced Component
Technologies program. The goals of this program are to research, develop
and demonstrate component- and subsystem-level technology developments
that (1) reduce the risk, cost, size, volume, mass, and development time
of Earth observing instrument and platforms and (2) enable new Earth
observation measurements. Eligibility is unrestricted. Responses are due
June 19, 2008. For more information, visit:

NASA is requesting information regarding cryogenically cooled dome
structures. The domes will be used as propellant tank surface simulators
in two Thermal Development tests planned for the closed compartments in
the Ares I Crew Launch Vehicle Upper Stage. It is expected that the
propellant tank surface simulators will be predominantly constructed of
aluminum plate, tubing and seamless pipe. Specific information about
suppliers' ability to hold tolerances as related to surface geometry are
of interest. No awards will be made for responses, which are due July 3,
2008. For more information, visit:
