Federal Funding Opportunities
Department of Defense (DoD)
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting
proposals for participation in the Computer Science Study Group (CSSG).
The objective of the CSSG is to rapidly identify ideas in the field of
computer science that will provide revolutionary advances, rather than
incremental benefit, to DoD. The program's first phase consists of both
a series of briefings and visits to a variety of military sites and
facilities over the course of a 12-month period, as well as individual
research programs. For successful participants, host institutions will
receive grants or other assistance instruments totaling up to $100,000
to support participant travel expenses for Phase I meetings and research
that is consistent and synergistic with the activities and discussions.
Participants must be junior faculty members at a U.S. institution of
higher learning and be eligible to receive a U.S. SECRET security
clearance. They also should be no more than seven years beyond their
doctoral degree, with demonstrated exceptional potential for world-class
contributions to the field of computer science. All responsible sources
capable of satisfying the government's needs are eligible to submit
proposals, which are due Aug. 11, 2008. For more information, visit:
http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do?&mode=VIEW&flag2006=false&oppId=4

aerial refueling (AAR) capability within the Air Force Research
Laboratory as a risk reduction measure to enable future unmanned air
vehicle weapon system development programs. This program will build upon
previous AAR Phase I technical efforts that developed and demonstrated a
proof-of-concept AAR capability employing a single-channel relative
navigation system based on Precision GPS. Approximately $49 million over
fiscal years 2008-12 is expected to be available for one or more awards
having a four-year project period. Eligibility is unrestricted.

proposed and has experience in developing independent investigators.
Candidates must have research experience (length of time may vary) and
be committed to developing into independent biomedical investigators in
research areas relevant to the mission of the NHLBI (i.e.,
cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disorders research).
