Environmental Protection Agency

The EPA invites proposals from interdisciplinary teams to address
research needs that currently limit the ability to conduct cumulative
risk assessments. Two related announcements focus on two challenges that
exist in conducting cumulative risk assessments: (a) EPA-G2009-STAR-E1:
The development of statistical and other analytical techniques that will
enable the analysis of disparate types of data, and (b
EPA-G2009-STAR-E2: The evaluation of the combined effects of nonchemical
and chemical stressors. The deadline for both is June 19. Eligibility is
limited to institutions of higher education, public and private
nonprofit organizations, and state, local and tribal governments. More
information regarding both announcements is available at:

National Science Foundation

The NSF Directorate for Geosciences invites proposals for EarthScope, an
earth science program to support studies that explore the 4-dimensional
structure of the North American continent. The EarthScope Program
provides a framework for broad, integrated studies across the Earth
sciences, including research on fault properties and the earthquake
process, strain transfer, magmatic and hydrous fluids in the crust and
mantle, plate boundary processes, large-scale continental deformation,
continental structure and evolution, and composition and structure of
the deep-Earth. The Foundation anticipates making 15 to 25 awards with
total FY10 funding of up to $12 million. Eligibility is unrestricted.
Responses are due July 16. More information regarding NSF 09-535 is
available at:
