        <Description>The U.S. Department of Energy&amp;apos;s Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), hereby announce their interest in receiving applications for genomics based research that will lead to the improved use of biomass and plant feedstocks for the production of fuels such as ethanol or renewable chemical feedstocks. Specifically, applications are sought for fundamental research on plants that will improve biomass characteristics, biomass yield, or sustainability. Systems biology approaches to identify genetic indicators enabling plants to be efficiently bred or manipulated, or research to predict phenotype from underlying genotype that could lead to improved feedstock characterization and sustainability are also encouraged. Renewable energy from biomass has the potential to reduce or remove dependency on fossil fuels as well as reduce negative environmental impacts from emissions of greenhouse gases and toxic pollutants. Realizing this potential will require the simultaneous development of high yielding biomass production systems and bioconversion technologies that efficiently convert biomass energy into the forms of energy usable by industry. Most agricultural research to date has focused on enhancing the production of seeds, roots and tubers that are used for food and feed production. However, these improvements in food crops have frequently been directed towards increases in starch content with a corresponding reduction of lignocelluloses accumulation. Research applications are solicited for genomics-based research that will lead to improved utilization of plant biomass for the production of fuels such as ethanol or renewable chemical feedstocks. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) co ntinues a commitment, initiated in 2006, to conduct a fundamental research program in biomass genomics, to provide the scientific foundation to facilitate the use of lignocellulosic materials, either primary material or agricultural residues, for bioenergy and biofuels. The rationale for developing lignocellulosic crops for energy is that less intensive production techniques and poorer quality land can be used for these crops, thereby avoiding competition with food production on better quality land.</Description>

        <Description>This program will provide assistance to an institution to investigate and monitor of the effects of environmental contaminants on the breeding population numbers, reproduction, and immunological health of fish eating birds found in the Saginaw Bay, Raisin River and other Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOCs), building on previous investigations in past years. To accomplish this goal, the recipient institution will collect new data to evaluate the status of fish eating bird population health relative to reference (non AOC) areas and to these same areas as measured in the past. The recipient institution must have a proven record of experience in working with these types of bird colonies in the Great Lakes and measuring specific immunological endpoints in order to maintain scientific integrity and comparability of data. In addition to the continuing work on colonial waterbird populations, reproduction, and immune function, the recipient institution will measure the same endpoints at an additional site (Bellow Island), evaluate potential influence of contaminants of emerging concern to those endpoints, and screen water and sediments samples for these contaminants in the studied watersheds. This is a notice of intent to award a single source grant without competition to Calvin College with Dr. Keith Grasman working on the project under justification 505DM 2.14B (2) &amp;amp; (4). The Service intends to award to this recipient without competition because Dr. Grasman is uniquely qualified to perform this study. He is the researcher that has demonstrated the associations between PCBs and suppression of T-cell-mediated immunity in herring gull and Caspian tern chicks at highly contaminated sites in the Great Lakes as well as associations with altered antibody-mediated immunity (Grasman et al. 1996. Grasman and Fox 2001, Grasman et al. 2012). Because Dr. Grasman has developed and used these immunological methods at these study sites over the past 20 years, data that he generates under this grant can be directly compared with past data to determine trends and restoration of Beneficial Use Impairments.</Description>

Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. This effort will primarily investigate and research new methods for capturing and transferring thematic resource data (geospatial, tabular, images, documents, etc.) from multiple (often disparate and widely distributed) sources to enterprise data services. Information captured via these systems also will be ported to various GIS, asset management services, and other database and web applications for sharing among partners, NPS personnel and the public RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT &amp;#9679; Provide research associates under the supervision of the Principal Investigator. &amp;#9679; CSU researchers will participate in cooperative teams with the NPS that may be led by either party. Close working relationships with outside partners and affiliates and substantial involvement of multiple programs will be required to successfully complete this task. &amp;#9679; Provide monthly invoices paid upon receipt NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: &amp;#9679; RISD staff members and affiliates will collaborate on this project with the CSU research associates. &amp;#9679; Provide office space and other material support (computer, GPS equipment, travel) for the recipients. &amp;#9679; Provide the needed data and equipment to allow the researchers to perform their work and publish the products to university affiliates, partners, and the public. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This is a Task Agreement (P14AC01476) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) in the amount of $659,210.00 with a period of performance from date of award until 08/31/2015. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State University and the NPS is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network&amp;quot;. Also, on the SF 424 forms that the partner sponsored programs office fills out for each project, requires a CFDA number - 15.945, which is the number associated with the CFDA Title: COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND TRAINING PROGRAMS - RESOURCES OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE (CESU). STATUTORY AUTHORITY A. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1g authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements that involve the transfer of NPS appropriated funds to state, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs. B. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1a-2(j) Cooperative research and training programs authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements with public or private educational institutions, states, and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing adequate, coordinated, cooperative research and training programs concerning the resources of the national park system. Pursuant to such agreements, the cooperator may accept from or make available to the NPS technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and equipment, facilities, and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate (research projects subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation excluded). Modified 5/31/05 &amp;#191; Agreement Handbook Memorandum Number 2 C. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;5933 Cooperative agreements. The Secretary is authorized and directed to enter into cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, including but not limited to land grant schools, in partnership with other Federal and State agencies, to establish cooperative study units to conduct multi-disciplinary research and develop integrated information products on the resources of the National Park System, or the larger region of which parks are a part. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement research applications to establish a multi-center, multi-disciplinary consortium to be known as the Prevention of Lower Urinary tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium. This FOA expands NIH&amp;apos;s research emphasis from treatment of women with established lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) to prevention of LUTS. At present there is insufficient information to undertake large-scale primary and secondary LUTS prevention efforts. The primary objective of this FOA is to plan, perform and analyze the research studies necessary to establish the scientific basis for future prevention intervention studies for lower urinary tract symptoms and conditions in women. The consortium will develop the evidence base for normal or healthy bladder function and to identify behavioral and other risk factors for conditions associated with LUTS. The Consortium will focus on a broad age range from adolescent girls to older non-institutionalized women to set the stage for future research in prevention of lower urinary tract symptoms and conditions with a particular focus on symptoms that are associated with the diagnosis of bladder infections, urinary incontinence, voiding dysfunction, overactive bladder and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#191;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P14AS00268 Project Title SEA LEVEL MONITORING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR THE NPS Recipient Colorado State University Principle Investigator / Program Manager Melinda Laituri Total Anticipated Award Amount $135,431.79 Cost Share $35,961.00 New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement P14AC00728 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 08/31/2015 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 08/31/2015 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1(g); 16 USC 1a-2(j); 16 USC 5933 CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs &amp;#191; Resources of the NPS CESU&amp;#191;s Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P14AC00728 Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystems Study Unit was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Colorado State University (CSU) to provide research, technical assistance and education to federal land management, environmental and research agencies and their potential partners; that involves the biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences needed to address resources issues and interdisciplinary problem-solving at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context at the local, regional, and national level; and place special emphasis on the working collaboration among federal agencies and universities and their related partner institutions. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. The focus of this task agreement is to develop, document, and maintain sea level monitoring protocols to better prepare for increasing sea levels and storm surge. Using geographic information systems (GIS) and other analysis tools, the initial focus of this project, as part of the post-Hurricane Sandy mitigation efforts, will be to install sea level monitoring equipment and associated geodetic monumentation at Fire Island National Seashore (FIIS). FIIS is situated squarely in one of the aforementioned NWLON gaps. After determining the best installation site, installing a temporary tide gauge, and collecting water level data, local tidal datums (mean high water, mean low water, etc.) can be calculated. The local tidal datums can then be used to establish a relationship with datums from nearby NWLON stations, and leverage the long-term sea level trend data from these nearby NWLON stations. This project will integrate with and provide support to several current critical NE regional projects including benthic habitat mapping, coastal elevation and bathymetry data collection, geodetic benchmark recovery and installation, and salt marsh elevation/accretion (SET) research projects. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT &amp;#9679; Provide research associates under the Principal Investigator &amp;#9679; Colorado State University researchers will participate in cooperative teams with the NPS that may be led by either party. Close working relationships with outside partners and affiliates and substantial involvement of multiple programs will be required to successfully complete this task. &amp;#9679; Provide monthly invoices paid upon receipt. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: &amp;#9679; RISD staff members and affiliates will collaborate on this project with the CSU research associates. &amp;#9679; Provide office space and other material support (computer, GPS equipment, travel) for the cooperators. &amp;#9679; Provide the needed data and equipment to allow the researchers to perform their work and publish the products to university affiliates, partners, and the public. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This is a Task Agreement (P14AC01466) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) in the amount of $135431.79 with a period of performance from date of award until 8/31/2015. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State University and the NPS is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network&amp;quot;. Also, on the SF 424 forms that the partner sponsored programs office fills out for each project, requires a CFDA number - 15.945, which is the number associated with the CFDA Title: COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND TRAINING PROGRAMS - RESOURCES OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE (CESU). STATUTORY AUTHORITY A. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1g authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements that involve the transfer of NPS appropriated funds to state, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs. B. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1a-2(j) Cooperative research and training programs authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements with public or private educational institutions, states, and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing adequate, coordinated, cooperative research and training programs concerning the resources of the national park system. Pursuant to such agreements, the cooperator may accept from or make available to the NPS technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and equipment, facilities, and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate (research projects subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation excluded). Modified 5/31/05 &amp;#191; Agreement Handbook Memorandum Number 2 C. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;5933 Cooperative agreements. The Secretary is authorized and directed to enter into cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, including but not limited to land grant schools, in partnership with other Federal and State agencies, to establish cooperative study units to conduct multi-disciplinary research and develop integrated information products on the resources of the National Park System, or the larger region of which parks are a part. </Description>

        <Description>The Ministry of Health (MOH) in Burma and the National Department of Health (NDOH) in Papua New Guinea (PNG) plan to rapidly expand high-quality antiretroviral treatment (ART) coverage in the coming years by increasing capacity at existing delivery sites and decentralizing selected services to provincial, district and township levels. In order to accomplish this expansion, the MOH and NDOH need strong laboratory systems that ensure high-quality HIV diagnostic and clinical monitoring of patients at the existing and new service delivery sites. This will require strengthening the capacity of Burma&amp;#146;s National Health Laboratory (NHL) and Papua New Guinea&amp;#146;s Central Public Health Laboratory (CPHL), as well as building capacity of sub-national laboratories and improving the laboratory network in these countries.This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will be awarded to a technical assistance (TA) partner to provide support to NHL and CPHL in several key areas, including: (1) developing and helping implement standard operating procedures, policies, guidelines, and training materials related to management and operations of national and sub-national laboratories; (2) building capacity of NHL and CPHL staff to validate, conduct, and ensure strong (and often cross-cutting) quality assurance and monitoring systems for HIV-related diagnostic and clinical monitoring activities; (3) strengthening the overall laboratory network in Burma and PNG that may include specimen transport and right-sizing of various classes of laboratories; and (4) providing supporting mentoring of NHL and NDOH staff and opportunities for professional development. In addition, the partner will implement recommendations to support the MOH and NDOH improve HIV laboratory services at the provincial, district and township levels, and provide support to the ongoing decentralization of health services. The selected TA partner will coordinate with CDC country offices in Burma and PNG, as well as other organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO), Australian AID (DFAT), Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Clinton Health Access Initiative </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement research applications to establish a multi-center, multi-disciplinary consortium to be known as the Prevention of Lower Urinary tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium. This FOA expands NIH&amp;apos;s research emphasis from treatment of women with established lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) to prevention of LUTS. At present there is insufficient information to undertake large-scale primary and secondary LUTS prevention efforts. The primary objective of this FOA is to plan, perform and analyze the research studies necessary to establish the scientific basis for future prevention intervention studies for lower urinary tract symptoms and conditions in women. The consortium will develop the evidence base for normal or healthy bladder function and to identify behavioral and other risk factors for conditions associated with LUTS. The Consortium will focus on a broad age range from adolescent girls to older non-institutionalized women to set the stage for future research in prevention of lower urinary tract symptoms and conditions with a particular focus on symptoms that are associated with the diagnosis of bladder infections, urinary incontinence, voiding dysfunction, overactive bladder and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. </Description>

        <Description>NIA&amp;apos;s MD-PhD Institutional Training Program in Aging and the Social/Behavioral Sciences is designed to help strengthen the pipeline of physician scholars dedicated to using social and behavioral science approaches to addressing the nation&amp;apos;s challenges raised by population aging. This FOA invites applications from 1) institutions with NIA-funded grants in the social/behavioral sciences that are relevant to the research topics proposed under this FOA and 2) that have currently-active formal, combined MD-PhD training programs. Fields of graduate training that are responsive to this FOA are economics, health economics, demography, sociology, social epidemiology, and aspects of psychology relevant to affective science, decision science and the science of behavior change. Training programs that focus primarily on neuropsychology or clinical psychology are outside the scope of this initiative. Integrated medical and graduate research training programs may be built around single disciplines or may be multidisciplinary, may be flexible in structure, and should be consistent with individual institutional strengths. Proposed training programs should be flexible and adaptable in providing each trainee with the appropriate background in the social/behavioral sciences relevant to medicine, yet be rigorous enough to enable graduates to function independently in both basic social/behavioral science research and clinical investigation.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001162, entitled ?Targeted Algal Biofuels and Bioproducts (TABB)?. The TABB FOA seeks to reduce the cost of algal biofuels. BETO?s 2019 projected state of technology (SOT) for the cost of algal biofuels is modeled at about $7 per gallon gasoline gallon equipvalent (gge) without valuable co-products. The TABB FOA will support work at bench and process development scales to develop valuable co-products, crop protection, and CO2 utilization strategies. BETO expects the TABB FOA to result in modeled algal biofuel costs of less than $5 gge by 2019. This will provide alternative, nearer-term pathways to achieve BETO?s goal of $3 gge advanced algal biofuels validation by 2030. This Notice is issued so that interested parties are aware of the EERE?s intention to issue this FOA in the near term. All of the information contained in this Notice is subject to change. EERE will not respond to questions concerning this Notice. This is a Notice of Intent (NOI) only. EERE may issue a FOA as described herein, may issue a FOA that is significantly different than the FOA described herein, or DOE may not issue a FOA at all. Once the FOA has been released, EERE will provide an avenue for potential Applicants to submit questions. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE. Please do not submit questions or respond to this Notice of Intent. Prospective applicants to the FOA should begin developing partnerships, formulating ideas, and gathering data in anticipation of the issuance of this FOA. It is anticipated that this FOA will be posted to EERE Exchange September 2014.</Description>

        <Description>This partnership started in 2003 and included BLM, Tillamook Soil and Water Conservation district, three Watershed councils and Tillamook Estuaries Partnership. Today the number of partners has increased and includes Land conservancies, State Parks, National Parks, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Siuslaw NF, 6 School Districts, 8 WSC&amp;apos;s and 3 OYCC programs totaling 36 partners in eight counties throughout the Northwest Corner of Oregon. The Project started out specifically to create a sustainable supply of genetically adapted native plant material for riparian restoration on the Oregon Coast based on the fact, that material was not readily available on the open market. Over time the partnership has moved into restoring wetlands, coastal sand dunes and high meadow and Oak Savannah habitats. The partners also share techniques on seed collection, propagation, planting and maintenance. Before this partnership formed these groups were competing against each other for grants and available native plant material and now they are collaborating to create a sustainable supply of plant material that is commonly shared and meet other common objectives. Two separate agreements are being awarded in order to apply both Secure Rural Schools-Title II funds and non-Secure Rural Schools-Title II funds.</Description>

        <Description>This partnership started in 2003 and included BLM, Tillamook Soil and Water Conservation district, three Watershed councils and Tillamook Estuaries Partnership. Today the number of partners has increased and includes Land conservancies, State Parks, National Parks, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Siuslaw NF, 6 School Districts, 8 WSC&amp;apos;s and 3 OYCC programs totaling 36 partners in eight counties throughout the Northwest Corner of Oregon. The Project started out specifically to create a sustainable supply of genetically adapted native plant material for riparian restoration on the Oregon Coast based on the fact, that material was not readily available on the open market. Over time the partnership has moved into restoring wetlands, coastal sand dunes and high meadow and Oak Savannah habitats. The partners also share techniques on seed collection, propagation, planting and maintenance. Before this partnership formed these groups were competing against each other for grants and available native plant material and now they are collaborating to create a sustainable supply of plant material that is commonly shared and meet other common objectives. Two separate agreements are being awarded in order to apply both Secure Rural Schools-Title II funds and non-Secure Rural Schools-Title II funds.</Description>

        <Description>This is a project to improve fish passage at the existing irrigation diversions on Honey Creek in the BLM Lakeview District in order to help conserve and restore the Warner sucker, redband trout, and other native fish populations in the Warner Basin. It involves generally retrofitting the diversions to provide fish passage at the sites and screen the diversion ditch to prevent fish from becoming entrained in the ditch. This agreement will be in conjunction with existing cooperative agreement No. L12AC20547. A second agreement is necessary in order to apply Secure Rural Schools-Title II funding to the project. The principal purpose of this project is to provide fish passage at the irrigation diversions on Honey Creek and to screen the associated diversion ditches, in order to conserve and restore Warner sucker, redband trout, and other native fish populations in the Warner Basin. This project will benefit the public fisheries resource by conserving important native fishes which are endemic to the Warner Basin (Warner sucker) and important to the sport fishing community (redband trout). This project is one step toward recovery of the species and potential de-listing under the Endangered Species Act.</Description>

        <Description>The United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) plans to support the continued increase of sustainably produced domestic bioenergy from renewable cellulosic feedstocks, such as agricultural residues, annual and perennial dedicated energy crops, and forest resources. DOE is seeking input from producers, industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, environmental groups, and other bioenergy stakeholders regarding landscape design approaches that integrate cellulosic feedstock production into existing agricultural and forestry systems while maintaining or enhancing environmental and socio-economic sustainability including ecosystem services and food, feed, and fiber production. DOE is aware of promising advancements that support the objective of designing sustainable, multi-functional landscapes that supply cellulosic bioenergy feedstocks while maintaining or enhancing environmental sustainability. These advancements include the development of relevant spatial models and decision-support tools, modeling studies that demonstrate potential environmental improvements from biomass production, generation of field data on bioenergy crop and residue recovery performance and sustainability, and development of management practices for bioenergy crop and residue production. However, DOE is not aware of many initiatives that apply the current set of tools and knowledge to proactively design these multi-functional landscapes for increased cellulosic feedstock production, validate the environmental and social sustainability impacts at a watershed or comparable scale, and assess the feedstock characteristics and logistics systems (e.g., harvesting, preprocessing, and transport) associated with those landscape designs. DOE is seeking information on cost-effective, feasible approaches for testing the landscape design approach for increasing cellulosic feedstock production at a watershed, multi-landowner, or comparable spatial scale through a combination of modeling, data collection, field research, and engagement with landowners and other relevant stakeholders. This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. DOE will not pay for information provided under this RFI and no project will be supported as a result of this RFI. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance or financial incentives. DOE may or may not issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) based on consideration of the input received from this RFI. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of this RFI and where to submit questions regarding submission of responses can be found in the full RFI posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to BETOLandscapeDesignRFI@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (EDT) on September 2, 2014. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. It is recommended that attachments with file sizes exceeding 25MB be compressed (i.e., zipped) to ensure message delivery. Only electronic responses will be accepted. THIS RFI IS NOT A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA). THEREFORE, DOE IS NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. </Description>

        <Description>The Department of Energy&amp;#146;s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) conducts crosscutting nuclear energy research and development (R&amp;amp;D) and associated infrastructure support activities to develop innovative technologies that offer the promise of dramatically improved performance for advanced reactors and fuel cycle concepts while maximizing the impact of DOE resources.NE strives to promote integrated and collaborative research conducted by national laboratory, university, industry, and international partners under the direction of NE&amp;#146;s programs. NE funds research activities through both competitive and direct mechanisms, as required to best meet the needs of NE. This approach ensures a balanced R&amp;amp;D portfolio and encourages new nuclear power deployment with creative solutions to the universe of nuclear energy challenges. This FOA addresses the competitive portion of NE&amp;#146;s R&amp;amp;D portfolio as executed through the Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP), Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies Crosscutting Technology Development (NEET CTD), and Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility (ATR NSUF). NEUP utilizes up to 20 percent of funds appropriated to NE&amp;#146;s R&amp;amp;D program for university-based infrastructure support and R&amp;amp;D in key NE program-related areas: Fuel Cycle Research and Development (FC R&amp;amp;D), Reactor Concepts Research, Development and Demonstration (RC RD&amp;amp;D), and Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS). NEET CTD supports national laboratory-, university- and industry-led crosscutting research. By establishing the NSUF in 2007, DOE-NE opened up the world of material test reactors, beam lines, and post-irradiation examination facilities to researchers from U.S. universities, industry and national laboratories by granting no-cost access to world-class nuclear research facilities. In addition to the consolidation of the NSUF Call for Applications (CFA) for access to capabilities, NEUP or NEET CTD projects requiring irradiation testing and/or post irradiation examination (PIE) may include no-cost access to NSUF capabilities through a single application response to this FOA.NE reserves the right to respond to potential shifts in R&amp;amp;D priorities during FY 2015 that may be driven by events, policy developments, or Congressional/budget direction. NE will factor such considerations into decisions related to the timing and scale of award announcements associated with this FOA.</Description>

        <Description>The United States and India are partnering in many areas to improve bilateral relations and bring our countries closer together. The U.S.-India partnership extends beyond only government-to-government relations to include business-to-business and people-to-people ties. One phenomenon that is deterring tourists and exchange students from coming to India, according to media reports is the threat of Gender-based Violence (GBV) against women. There have been several high-profile cases of GBV in India that include both Indian and foreign victims. Coverage of these cases has appeared in international media and become a topic of discussion in the United States, including among the academic community and lawmakers. In order to change attitudes and improve women&amp;#146;s safety, Indian NGOs increasingly are turning to online tools to create offline change. There are a handful of GBV-focused groups leading the use of Internet platforms to create crowd-sourced maps, blogs, and online campaigns. In order to expand digital literacy for NGOs working in the GBV sphere and make their work more effective, U.S. Consulate General Mumbai will hold a &amp;#147;GBV TechCamp&amp;#148; that will bring together technologists and women&amp;#146;s activists in a workshop format. The TechCamp will train participants on the different ways they can use online tools to promote women&amp;#146;s safety, raise awareness, and change attitudes.

        <Description>The national response to the HIV epidemic in Swaziland has undergone dramatic changes and achieved major milestones up to date. As the epidemic matures in Swaziland and the country shifts from emergency response to scale-up of prevention interventions and universal access to care and treatment, the technical needs of the country are also evolving. Monitoring trends, identifying and addressing knowledge gaps, and strengthening the country&amp;#146;s long-term capacity to use epidemiological tools to produce strategic information are now recognized as important priorities moving forward. Currently, Swaziland lacks coordinated infrastructure and capacity to formulate and address research questions that will inform programmatic and policy decisions. In addition, the country needs a robust epidemiological surveillance system for communicable and non-communicable disease to enable the detection of and efficient response to disease outbreaks. The overall goal of this FOA is to strengthen the capacity of Ministry of Health (MoH) and Ministry of Economic Planning and Development (MoEPD) to produce and effectively use epidemiological, surveillance, and research data in the Kingdom of Swaziland.</Description>

        <Description>The Local Capacity Initiative (LCI) toward Country Leadership seeks to engage Civil Society Organizations (CSO) that are capable of increasing effective local health systems/services or networks to address the HIV response by increasing a national commitment to quality HIV activities especially for key populations (KPs). Civil society organizations are defined as: an array of non-governmental local organizations and networks (professional associations, religious organizations, community associations (local school committees, health user groups), not-for-profit organizations at national district and local levels), and has a multiplicity of potential roles in a country&amp;#145;s health response. These roles include service delivery, advocacy, health education and promotion, and as a key stakeholder that engages in planning and monitoring at multiple levels.There is limited population based data in Papua New Guinea (PNG) collected on key populations but some of the available research shows alarming risk behavior and HIV prevalence rates in key populations. One study (Askim na Save (Ask and Understand): People who sell and exchange sex in Port Moresby 2011) showed 72% of male sex worker respondents reported having commercial sex in the last 12 months used a condom with their most recent opposite sex client for anal intercourse and very concerning 17.79% of sex workers in Port Moresby who were tested, tested positive for HIV. Based on this data and others, there is enhanced focus on targeting this most affected key populations in PNG to have largest impact on curbing the HIV epidemic in country.</Description>

        <Description>The goal and objectives of the program in Uganda is to improve access of HIV/AIDS services for populations most at risk in Uganda. The objectives are the following: 1. Increase the capacity of local civil society organizations to be engaged and effective stakeholders in government health system planning, implementation, and review. 2. Increase the capacity and accountability of local civil society organizations to identify and address legal, policy, and structural barriers that impede equitable access to high quality HIV services for populations most at risk. 3. Increase the number of service sites that adopt dedicated approaches that offer KP friendly services without stigma and discrimination. 4. Increase the representation of community leaders, PLHIV, and key populations in the governance structures that influence health systems and health services for populations most at risk. 5. Increase the capacity of local civil society organizations to successfully secure and manage diversified funding, via host country government, donors, foundations, and the private sector. The purpose of this FOA is to serve primarily as a supplement for PEPFAR countries to support the development of or strengthening of civil society organizations: faith based organizations, regional or national networks, professional associations, or community based organizations. The intended purpose is to engage civil society in country leadership that will support and advocate for effective health systems that are transparent and reflective of the needs of key populations infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. </Description>

        <Description>Botswana has both a high prevalence of HIV (25% among persons 15-49 years of age) and a high incidence of TB (455 new cases per 100,000 population per year). Drug resistance is a concern with both diseases. High quality surveillance and monitoring data are needed for effective disease control efforts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) has two primary objectives. Both are meant to support ongoing efforts of the Botswana Ministry of Health (MOH). The first objective is to strengthen the capacity of the TB laboratory and surveillance systems focusing on drug resistance and system integration. The second objective is to a) complete the national rollout of PIMS II (Patient Information Management System) to health care facilities and development of the national data warehouse and b) to support development and implementation of an HIV surveillance strategy at national- and district-levels.</Description>

        <Description>The Little River is a major tributary of the Red River in southeastern Oklahoma and southwestern Oklahoma. The section of the watershed including Little River and Pond Creek National Wildlife Refuges (NWR) support one of only four extant populations of the federally endangered Ouachita rock pocketbook mussel (Arkansia wheeleri)(USFWS 2012b, 2013b) and one of only five extant populations of the winged mapleleaf mussel (Quadrula fragosa). This area also supports the recently listed rabbitsfoot (Quadrula cylindrica) (USFWS 2012a) and has been proposed as critical habitat for the rabbitsfoot. These imperiled mussels are part of a rich aquatic community inhabiting the river, which is regionally and nationally significant (Matthews et al. 2005). Protection and recovery of the Little River&amp;#191;s imperiled mussel populations requires monitoring to assess their status and the effectiveness of ongoing habitat management. This project is needed to develop a landscape-level mussel monitoring program and protocol development to verify management effectiveness and identify specific management needs for the Little River and Pond Creek NWRs. To support this effort, the goals of this project are: (1) to assess the status of imperiled mussel species in the Little River from below Pine Creek Reservoir to the Arkansas-Oklahoma state line and (2) to establish a survey protocol for monitoring the status of mussel species in the river in the future (USFWS 2013a). Final products will include a final report assessing the status of the Little River mussel community and a peer-reviewed survey protocol consistent with the Inventory and Monitoring policy. This project has been coordinated with and benefits the USFWS, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, and the University of Oklahoma and will provide needed training to graduate students, as well as, refuge staff. USFWS staff will be substantially involved throughout the duration of this collaboration. USFWS will be actively involved in the conceptual development of this project, including identification of project objectives, selection of appropriate sampling design, data collection techniques, and analysis. USFWS staff will actively participate in data collection and oversight of data collection along with ensuring the protocol development is consistent with the Survey Protocol Handbook as per the National Inventory and Monitoring Policy. Finally, USFWS staff will review all results to determine suitability for use in guiding management activities.</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) seeks Research Project Grant (R01) applications that propose to use a common conceptual model to develop behavioral interventions to modify health behaviors and improve health outcomes in patients with comorbid chronic diseases and health conditions. Specifically, this FOA will support research in primary care that uses a multi-disease care management approach to behavioral interventions with high potential impact to improve patient-level health outcomes for individuals with three or more chronic health conditions. The proposed approach must modify behaviors using a common approach rather than administering a distinct intervention for each targeted behavior and/or condition. Diseases and health conditions can include, but are not limited to: mental health disorders (e.g., depression), diabetes, smoking, obesity, chronic pain, alcohol and substance abuse and dependence, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, cancer and hypertension. </Description>

        <Description>This is a modification to agreement number R12AP30002 awarded in on October 13, 2011 to Marsh and Associates, LLC to support the continued maintenance, expansion, and management of the Lake Mohave Native Fishes Database. This action adds $242,633.62 in additional funding to continue two additional years of project work and to extend the term of the agreement by two-years until September 30, 2016. The scope of work remains the unchanged from the original award, which is described below. The Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (MSCP) was implemented in April 2005 to conserve 26 native species and their habitats. It is a long-term plan that geographically encompasses the river and its corridor from Lake Mead downstream to the southerly U.S. and Mexico boundary. Three fishes, humpback, bonytail and razorback sucker, are federally listed endangered species. The MSCP also maintains conservation actions for the flannelmouth sucker, a native but unlisted species that resides in portions of the lower river. A large amount of data currently exists for these fishes, and substantial amounts of new information will be acquired for all of these species with the exception of the humpback. It is the responsibility of the MSCP to manage that information for the duration of the program. The Lake Mohave [Lower Colorado River (LCR)] Native Fish Database began under the direction of P. C. Marsh and the late W. L. Minckley, Arizona State University (ASU) in 1988. Beginning in 2009 responsibility for these data transferred from ASU to Marsh &amp;amp; Associates (M&amp;amp;A) under continued direction of P. C. Marsh. Tagging of native fishes in the LCR began in the late 1970&amp;#146;s with external tags being fixed to razorbacks in Lake Mohave. Over time, native fish tagging and the native fish data base have evolved to include numerous species, tag types, and geographic locations. Current tagging protocols include the use of both wire and Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags throughout the LCR corridor. As scanned, PIT tags read either 7-, 9-, or 10- character alphanumeric sequences of any possible combinations of the digits 0 through 9 and letters A through F; HDX tags that are now in the database have 7 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). Field data acquired by the Native Fish Work Group (NFWG) participants from bonytail, flannelmouth sucker, and repatriated (stocked) and wild adult razorback suckers are regularly generated and fish augmentation programs are expected to stock tens of thousands of native fish each year. All this data is incorporated into the native fish database, which is then accessible in a user friendly database. Database management, application and use consists of: (1) data entry from field notes and electronic stocking files for activities associated with the MSCP and its partners, (2) manipulations that organize or structure/ restructure the files, records, and their contained information, such as performance of sort routines, (3) manipulations that yield summary statistics for individuals and populations, such as days at large, change in length, and growth, (4) input to software that performs specific functions, such as mark-recapture analysis to estimate population size, (5) generation of summaries and information for reporting, and (6) capture history access via the internet. Database maintenance is labor intensive and demands meticulous control at all levels. Collection of sample data in the field is the first step to ensure completeness and accuracy of information. The recipient shall brief all field personnel in data acquisition methods and use of a standardized form/format to help towards keeping a complete record. Field data will be transmitted in original or duplicate copy to the recipient, where data are entered by keyboard into the database system. All incoming electronic files will be stored in their original condition on a computer, sorted by year and reservoir or river location, printed out, and then mated and stored with field data collection sheets. Each individual entry will be quality checked with text-to-speech software so that all database records are complete and correct relative to an original. If/when a discrepancy or other problem is detected, an attempt is to be made to make a correction. In some instances the original collector may be contacted to provide clarification or elaboration. Newer versions of the database will be regularly uploaded to a web server. </Description>

        <Description>Susceptibility to infection and organ damage are the two most common causes of alcohol-related morbidity and mortality. These consequences of alcohol abuse are closely associated with profound impairment of the host innate and adaptive immune systems. The mechanisms of these immune alterations and their link with alcohol-related medical problems are, in most cases, poorly understood. The goal of this FOA is to attract applications on basic and translational research: 1) to identify how alcohol alters immune function; 2) to establish functional links between immune alterations and alcohol related infections and organ damage; and 3) to develop means for mitigating immune impairment with the goal of alleviating alcohol-induced pathology. </Description>

        <Description>The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recognizes the unique importance of many protected species to tribes and values ongoing efforts by tribal nations to conserve and protect species under NMFS&amp;apos; jurisdiction. NMFS is authorized to provide Federal assistance to tribes to support conservation programs for marine and anadromous species under its jurisdiction. This assistance, provided in the form of grants, can be used to support conservation of endangered, threatened, and candidate or proposed species, as well as post-delisting monitoring of recovered species. Funded activities may include development and implementation of management plans, scientific research, and public education and outreach; proposals should address priority actions identified in an Endangered Species Act (ESA) Recovery Plan or address a NMFS-identified regional priority or need. Only federally recognized tribes and organizations of federally recognized tribes, such as the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission, that have delegated authority to represent a federally recognized tribe on matters relating to ESA listed, candidate, or proposed species, are eligible to apply. Proposals focusing on listed, candidate, or proposed species of Pacific salmon or steelhead will not be considered for funding under this grant program; such projects may be supported through the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. This document describes how to prepare and submit proposals for funding in fiscal year (FY) 2015 and how NMFS will determine which proposals will be funded; this document should be read in its entirety. </Description>

        <Description>The construction of the school ship dock and fishing pier facility at the Refuge Gateway is a multi-partner project lead by USFWS, Wayne County, the Metropolitan Affairs Coalition (MAC), and IWRA. The Refuge Gateway is owned by Wayne County and adjacent to the Humbug Marsh Unit of the Detroit River IWR. The Refuge Gateway is cooperatively managed by Wayne County and USFWS as directed by a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to the IWRA under justification 505DM 2.14B 4. IWRA will use funding to help support the construction of the school ship dock and fishing pier facility. No other awardees will be considered. IWRA is the non-profit, &amp;quot;friends&amp;quot; organization that helps the US FWS to deliver the mission of the Detroit River IWR. IWRA has unique qualifications that support the allocation of GLRI funds to this project including: voluntary support capacity in the administration of GLRI funds for the construction of this project. IWRA has already successfully collected over $530,000 in funding for this project from local corporate and community partners and will work with partners to manage funds for construction of the school ship dock and fishing pier facility. The cooperative agreement of GLRI funding to IWRA will help support the design finalization, bid development, and construction of this facility. During these project phases USFWS, specifically the staff of the Detroit River IWR, will be substantially involved in daily responsibilities and decision making. USFWS will review any modifications to the existing design while construction documents are finalized, inspect one stage of completed construction before the next stage can begin, and will have the ability, with partner agreement, to halt an activity if contracted specifications are not met.</Description>

        <Description>This project seeks to interpret ancient subsistence strategies at archeological sites in the NPS Southeast Region. This study will assist the park(s) in fulfilling their National Historic Preservation Act, Section 110 obligations to document archeological sites and determine their eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The findings of this project will lay the groundwork for nominations to the NRHP. Specifically, this project will develop a better understanding of past lifeways, human diets, landscape transformation, and how past populations interacted with natural resources. The Southeast Archeological Center (SEAC) and partner Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) will target key sites in the southeastern U.S. for archeological investigation.</Description>

        <Description>The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Grant Program, as authorized under the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000, provides matching grants of financial assistance through the Domestic Coral Reef Conservation Grant program to institutions of higher education, non-profit organizations, commercial organizations, and local and Indian tribal government agencies. These awards are intended to support coral reef conservation projects in shallow water coral reef ecosystems, including reefs at mesophotic depths, in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Florida, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and coral-dominated banks in U.S. portions of the Gulf of Mexico. Projects may be proposed in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and the U.S. Pacific Remote Island Areas, but these locations are not considered geographic priorities under this announcement. Proposals submitted to this competition must address at least one of the following four categories: 1) Fishing Impacts; 2) Land-Based Sources of Pollution; 3) Climate Change; and 4) Local and Emerging Management Issues. Each category is described in more detail in the Federal Funding Opportunity announcement. All proposed work must be consistent with Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) National Goals and Objectives 2010-2015 (http://coralreef.noaa.gov/aboutcrcp/strategy/currentgoals/resources/3threats_go.pdf) and/or the relevant Jurisdictional Coral Reef Management Priorities (http://coralreef.noaa.gov/aboutcrcp/strategy/reprioritization/managementpriorities) developed for each of the seven states and territories. Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will be implemented through a grant and will require a 1:1 match of non-Federal funds. Funding for this program is subject to the availability of FY 2015 Congressional appropriations and is expected to range between approximately $800,000 to approximately $1,000,000. Funding made available from NOAA&amp;apos;s Coral Reef Conservation Program is intended to support priority coral reef management activities as described in Section I(B) of this Federal Funding Opportunity announcement. Funding will be divided among the U.S. Pacific and Atlantic regions to maintain the geographic balance of the CRCP Grant Program portfolio overall, as required by the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000. NOAA expects that each applicant will request Federal funding at a funding level between $30,000 and $80,000 under this solicitation and that the average award size will be approximately $50,000.</Description>

        <Description>Joshua Tree National Park has partnered with a university to develop climate monitoring protocols for use by Citizen Scientists (also known as park volunteers). This agreement will task a Resource Assistant to implement the on-the-ground climate monitoring protocols. The Resource Assistant will work with university researchers, lead volunteers, collect data, and enter data into various databases. The Citizen Science activities will focus on conditions and trends of park resources in order to improve scientific understanding of how the flora and fauna of JOTR respond to the effects of climate change. Joshua Tree National Park has established a series of long term monitoring plots and needs assistance in gathering data for analysis to guide management and policy. The project will help create, promote, facilitate, and/or improve the public&amp;#191;s understanding of natural, cultural, historic, recreational, and other aspects of JOTR. The project will provide an opportunity for a youth to learn about the environment by spending time working on projects in JOTR. </Description>

        <Description>These NEH grants support national or regional (multistate) training programs for scholars and advanced graduate students to broaden and extend their knowledge of digital humanities. Through these programs, NEH seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars using digital technology in their research and to broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology tools and methodologies relevant to the humanities. The projects may be a single opportunity or offered multiple times to different audiences. Institutes may be as short as a few days and held at multiple locations or as long as six weeks at a single site. For example, training opportunities could be offered before or after regularly occurring scholarly meetings, during the summer months, or during appropriate times of the academic year. The duration of a program should allow for full and thorough treatment of the topic.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#191;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P14AS00284 Project Title Historic Resource Study &amp;#191; First State National Monument Recipient Organization of American Historians Principle Investigator / Program Manager Aidan Smith Total Anticipated Award Amount $99,916.95 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement H2261100002 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 09/1/2017 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 09/1/2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1(g) CFDA # and Title 15.946 Cultural resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number H2261100002 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, (NPS), and Organization of American Historians (OAH) for the purposes of promoting the greater public and private understanding of American history for their mutual benefit and for the people of the United States as well as for future generations, so that they can enjoy the historic resources of the NPS. Created by Presidential Proclamation on March 25, 2013, First State National Monument is one of the newest additions to the 401 units of the National Park System. The proclamation describes the park&amp;#191;s purpose as the &amp;quot;preservation, protection, and interpretation of the nationally significant cultural and historic resources associated with early Dutch, Swedish, and English settlement of the colony of Delaware and parts of the colony of Pennsylvania and Delaware&amp;#191;s role in the birth of the United States and as the first state to ratify the Constitution.&amp;quot; The monument encompasses approximately 1,108 acres, and includes the Sheriff&amp;#191;s House, the Newcastle Court House and the Green in New Castle; the Dover Green in Dover; and the Woodlawn property in the Brandywine Valley of Delaware, near Wilmington, with contiguous acreage in southeastern Pennsylvania. The proclamation directs the Secretary of the Interior to prepare a management plan to preserve and protect the historic resources identified in the proclamation; to interpret the story of early Swedish, Finnish, Dutch, and English settlement, and Delaware&amp;#191;s role in the establishment of the United States; and to preserve the Woodlawn property in a manner consistent with William Bancroft Poole&amp;#191;s vision of a rural landscape accessible to the public for their health and well-being. The proclamation is based on the NPS special resource study (2008) and on an analysis of the significance of the Woodlawn property (2012). The Historic Resource Study (HRS), as defined in NPS Cultural Resource Management Guidelines (NPS-28), provides a historical overview of a park or region and identifies a park&amp;#191;s cultural resources within historic contexts. This project will prepare an HRS for First State National Monument. The study will expand the NPS&amp;#191;s provide earlier analysis of park resources and provide essential information which will inform decisions about the preservation, management, and interpretation of historic and cultural resources at the park. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT a) Produce a Historic Resource Study for First State National Monument that synthesizes all available cultural resource information from multiple disciplines in a narrative designed to serve managers, planners, interpreters, cultural resource specialists, and interested public as a reference for the history of the region and the resources within the park. b) Engage an appropriate scholars to undertake the work and act as the liaison between the NPS and the scholar(s); c) Work with NPS to develop a detailed scope of work, based on Article I of this task agreement, for the scholar(s) to follow in order to complete the Historic Resource Study; d) Ensure that the manuscript is prepared as a scholarly report meeting the standards of the historical profession and the NPS through project management, including coordination of agency and peer review comments and provision of editorial services; e) Produce an interim narrative history and analysis of extant cultural resources of the Woodlawn property no later than fifteen months after the award of this agreement; f) Produce an interim interpretive deliverable, to be defined in collaboration with the NPS and the project scholar(s) that will present contextual narratives to general and diverse audiences as a means of engaging audiences and stakeholders in the research project and in the stewardship of park resources; g) Produce the final publication quality manuscript in pdf format for purposes of internet access, plus twenty-five (25) bound copies; h) Participate in a one-day workshop with park staff and community stakeholders and the researcher to share the results of the study so that the information can be incorporated, as appropriate, into public programming at the park; i) Make the report available to its membership, as well as the public more broadly, and promote the report within its professional networks so as to make the report as widely available as possible to scholars of American History, so that those scholars and teachers may use the report&amp;#191;s findings in their teaching and writing, to the benefit of not only the scholarly community but students at many levels; j) Promote, to its membership and through its professional networks, any use by NPS of the report in its management and planning, so as to draw attention to its continued efforts to make the presentation and practice of American History within NPS as informed, current, and professional as possible, which is a core mission of the OAH. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: a.) Work with the OAH to develop a detailed scope of work, based on Article I of this task agreement, for the scholar to follow in order to complete the Historic Resource study; b.) Work with the OAH in selecting the scholar(s) to conduct the research; c.) Provide the scholar(s) with access to park records, reports and databases; familiarize the scholar with the park&amp;apos;s resources and facilities; and work with the scholar to select oral history interviewees as needed; d.)

Review the progress of the research to ensure relevance and quality; f.) Distribute the report and make the research available to park managers and the general public for use in management and planning; g.) Organize the one-day workshop with the OAH and the scholar(s) to present the findings of the report to park staff and stakeholders in the community; h.) Share and promote the completed HRS with related and relevant NPS units. The OAH and the NPS agree to work cooperatively on the project for the purpose of providing guidance to the scholars(s), monitoring work, providing input, and setting or adjusting priorities SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health, encourages research grant applications that propose the development or adaptation of cutting edge technologies for astrocyte research, discovery-based research on astrocyte diversity, development and/or function in the brain, and the application of these to the study of basic brain processes or pathophysiology relevant to mental illnesses. The primary objective of this FOA is to address barriers to astrocyte research that are due to the scarcity of tools and datasets to target and identify astrocytes rigorously. Applications should aim to transform the field of astrocyte research by generating resources that will be widely used throughout the neuroscience community. Research supported by this initiative will (i) provide new tools for manipulating and identifying astrocytes based on their heterogeneity, developmental stage or functional state; (ii) identify novel phenomic signatures and combinatorial regulatory mechanisms of astrocyte development/function that account for astrocyte diversity; (iii) characterize mechanisms by which astrocytes regulate neural circuits serving cognition, emotion and social function or contribute to abnormal neural function relevant to psychopathology. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this notice is to invite Non-Governmental Organizations with non-profit 501(c)(3) status and demonstrated expertise and experience in supporting coral reef management in the United States to submit proposals to establish partnerships with the NOAA CRCP to further the conservation of U.S. coral reefs. This document describes the coral reef conservation partnership(s) that the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) envisions, identifies the qualities that NOAA desires in a partner, and describes criteria against which applications will be evaluated for funding consideration. Partnerships selected through this notice will be implemented through a cooperative agreement of 12- to 18-months in duration. Pursuant to section 6403 of the Coral Reef Conservation Act (CRCA) (16 U.S.C. 6401 et seq), and pending Congressional appropriations, CRCP funding of approximately $700,000 is expected to be available for initiating partnership(s) with up to four non-governmental organizations in FY 2015. CRCP will consider funding either a single proposal that includes support for all seven coral reef states and territories or up to two proposals in the Pacific Islands (benefitting Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, and/or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) and up to two proposals in the Atlantic/Caribbean region (benefitting Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Applications must propose a 12- or 18-month work plan, in conformance with the requirements of Section IV of this announcement, and may request between $100,000 and $700,000 (approximately $100,000 per state or territory), depending on how many of the seven coral states and territories will benefit from the proposed project(s). As required by the CRCA, recipients are required to match NOAA&amp;apos;s Federal contributions with non-Federal matching contributions at a minimum ratio of 1:1 unless the applicant is granted a waiver to the matching requirement by the agency.</Description>

The goal of the Urban Waters Small Grants is to fund research, studies, training, and demonstration projects that will advance the restoration of urban waters by improving water quality through activities that also support community revitalization and other local priorities. In general, projects should promote a comprehensive understanding of local water quality issues; identify and support activities that address these issues at the local level; engage, educate and empower communities surrounding the urban water body; and benefit surrounding communities including those that have been adversely impacted by the water pollution issues affecting the urban water body. The statutory authority for the cooperative agreements to be funded under this announcement is Section 104(b)(3) of the CWA, 33 USC &amp;#167;1254(b)(3). CWA Section 104(b)(3) restricts the use of these cooperative agreements to the following: conducting or promoting the coordination and acceleration of research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies relating to the causes, effects (including health and welfare effects), extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination of water pollution. Projects that are demonstrations must involve new or experimental technologies, methods, or approaches. EPA expects that the results of the project will be disseminated so that others can benefit from the knowledge gained in the demonstration project. A project that is accomplished through the performance of routine, traditional, or established practices, or a project that is simply intended to carry out a task rather than transfer information or advance the state of knowledge, however worthwhile the project might be, is not considered a demonstration project. For proposals that include demonstration projects, the applicant must describe how the project meets the above requirements. Implementation projects are not eligible for funding under this announcement.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites a Research Project Cooperative Agreement application (UC4) from the Program Director/Principal Investigator of the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) that is currently managing this large, complex and effective network. This FOA will support new activities, such as a new Biomarker and Mechanisms Panel, to design and possibly implement mechanistic studies using TrialNet subjects and samples, support new approaches to improve TrialNet recruiting and collaboration in partnership with the Clinical Network Hub, support the design and conduct of new prevention trials (as selected by the TrialNet Steering Committee) to replace ongoing trials, or new trials in newly described at-risk populations, and support the design and conduct of new studies in a silent diabetes population (as selected by the TrialNet Steering Committee). In the final 2 years of the award, this FOA will provide funds to continue the ongoing efforts of TrialNet. The DCC will support a wide range of research projects in varying stages of development, implementation and completion. The DCC will provide for data and sample management, including standardized acquisition, quality control, dissemination, and public accessibility. </Description>

        <Description>The work proposed here encompasses the development of a passive (listening) acoustic system for monitoring coarse bed load movement, including calibration, data processing, and, if warranted, the fabrication of a dedicated instrument. The magnitude and frequency of the acoustic signal generated by gravel transport along the bed may be influenced by the size and mineralogy of the sediment and the local channel morphology; therefore, these characteristics will be investigated as part of the work. </Description>

The monument encompasses approximately 11,750 acres of flat, open fields, marsh, and thick woodlands in Dorchester County, Maryland where Harriet Tubman was born, in 1822, and where she became physically and spiritually strong. After liberating herself from slavery at age 27, Tubman returned again and again to this area to help family, friends, and others to escape to freedom. Many of the places in the landscape of Tubman&amp;#191;s early life and from her quest for freedom remain within the boundaries of the monument, including Stewart&amp;#191;s Canal, the Jacob Jackson Home Site, Bucktown Crossroads, Scotts Chapel, Bazel Church, and others. Much of Tubman&amp;#191;s natal landscape is now part of Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The creation of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument followed more than a decade of community advocacy and careful study, including a Congressionally directed study to evaluate the sites&amp;#191; potential for inclusion within the National Park System. An interagency, multidisciplinary working group convened in 2008 to begin to identify key themes and stories. In addition, a scholars&amp;#191; roundtable, co-sponsored by NPS and the Organization of American Historians, convened subject matter experts to identify appropriate historical contexts for resource management and interpretation. The Historic Resource Study, as defined in NPS Cultural Resource Management Guidelines (NPS-28), provides a historical overview of a park or region and identifies a park&amp;#191;s cultural resources within historic contexts. This project will prepare a Historic Resource Study for Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument. The study will provide essential information which will inform decisions about the preservation, management, and interpretation of historic and cultural resources at the park. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT a) Produce a Historic Resource Study for Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument that provides a narrative history of the park, embracing social, political, cultural and economic themes related to the park&amp;#191;s purpose while providing accurate baseline information that will place the extant and historical resources of the park within larger historical and geographic contexts. b) Engage an appropriate scholar (or team of scholars) to undertake the work and act as the liaison between the NPS and the scholar(s); c) Work with NPS to develop a detailed scope of work, based on Article I of this task agreement, for the scholar(s) to follow in order to complete the Historic Resource study; d) Ensure that the manuscript is prepared as a scholarly report meeting the standards of the historical profession and the NPS through project management, including coordination of agency and peer review comments and provision of editorial services; e) Produce the final publication quality manuscript in pdf format for purposes of internet access, plus twenty-five (25) bound copies. f) Produce an interim interpretive deliverable, to be defined in collaboration with the NPS and the project scholar(s) that will present contextual narratives to general and diverse audiences as a means of engaging audiences and stakeholders in the research project and in the stewardship of park resources. g) Participate in a one-day workshop with park staff and community stakeholders and the researcher to share the results of the study so that the information can be incorporated, as appropriate, into public programming at the park. h) Make the report available to its membership, as well as the public more broadly, and promote the report within its professional networks so as to make the report as widely available as possible to scholars of American History, so that those scholars and teachers may use the report&amp;#191;s findings in their teaching and writing, to the benefit of not only the scholarly community but students at many levels. i) Promote, to its membership and through its professional networks, any use by NPS of the report in its management and planning, so as to draw attention to its continued efforts to make the presentation and practice of American History within NPS as informed, current, and professional as possible, which is a core mission of the OAH. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: a.) Work with the OAH to develop a detailed scope of work, based on Article I of this task agreement, for the scholar to follow in order to complete the Historic Resource study; b.) Work with the OAH in selecting the scholar(s) to conduct the research; c.) Provide the scholar(s) with access to park records, reports and databases; familiarize the scholar with the park&amp;apos;s resources and facilities; and work with the scholar to select oral history interviewees as needed; d.)

        <Description>The current FOA aims to support HIV preventive interventions in Mozambique targeting KP and OVP in provinces of Mozambique characterized by high prevalence of HIV, rapid development and increasing number of multinational companies, transport corridor areas, high mobility and transient male workforce, increased tourism, and increased HIV risk from commercial sex work and transactional sex, which together constitute some of the main factors driving the epidemic in Mozambique. A successful FOA respondent will support the adoption of combination prevention approaches targeting behavioral, biomedical, and structural interventions to ensure effective reach and impact on target population. Interventions aim to increase knowledge of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among KP and other priority populations, reduce sexual risk behavior, increase knowledge and access to preventive commodities among target population. Interventions will also promote HIV testing and counseling (HTC) and create demand for the uptake of HTC services by KP and OVC, increase access to HIV, STI and tuberculosis (TB) services in addition to other health care services, and support access to universal coverage of HIV treatment for all eligible PLHIV within KP and OVP. Interventions shall be carried out as part of a comprehensive package of HIV prevention interventions among KP and other priority populations, with focus on evidence-based prevention interventions (established interventions, such as volunteer male medical circumcision (VMMC); and potential future interventions, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis; diagnosis and control of sexually transmitted infections must also be considered); and establishment of a robust cascade for reach-test-treat-retain among KP and OVP. </Description>

        <Description>The Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) program develops long-term partnerships among industry, academe, and government. The centers are catalyzed by a small investment from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and are primarily supported by industry center members, with NSF taking a supporting role in the development and evolution of the center. Each center is established to conduct research that is of interest to both the industry members and the center faculty. An I/UCRC contributes to the Nation&amp;apos;s research infrastructure base and enhances the intellectual capacity of the engineering and science workforce through the integration of research and education. As appropriate, an I/UCRC uses international collaborations to advance these goals within the global context.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the National Forum for State and Territorial Chief Executives (hereinafter referred to as the National Forum) which serves as a national health policy body for the states[1] and territories. Such a forum facilitates communication among policy makers on current and emerging strategies to address common priorities, public policy and governance issues affecting states and territories. This National Forum enables the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to better leverage limited resources by improving planning and program design to complement other public and private sector initiatives serving the needs of the same populations, and to implement new programs based on legislative requirements. This competition will focus on sustaining and building upon previous projects funded through the National Forum and addressing gaps in access to health care and health care systems that continue to exist post-Affordable Care Act implementation. Within that context, the overall goals of the National Forum are to: (1) strengthen the health workforce, (2) strengthen health care delivery systems; and (3) improve access to healthcare for underserved and vulnerable populations. The National Forum cooperative agreement is multi-faceted and includes opportunities for state and territorial decision-makers to carry out initiatives that support the development and implementation of strategies related to health workforce issues, health systems, and access to healthcare. The National Forum program will address the three core functions related to the program goals and expectations: (1) facilitate collaboration among states, territories, Federal partners and other key stakeholders to achieve common goals; (2) encourage integration of public health practice, primary care delivery systems and public health infrastructures; and (3) identify and disseminate best practices and lessons learned to other states and territories. [1] &amp;#167;2(f) of the Public Health Service Act defines &amp;#191;state&amp;#191; to include, in addition to the several States, only the District of Columbia, Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.</Description>

This collaborative effort will focus on high-priority needs of the water trails managers that are also ranked highly by the national river and watershed conservation community. Topics that rank highly for all audiences based on a comprehensive needs assessment include stimulating citizen engagement around the protection of rivers, watersheds and open spaces, and promoting financial innovation to support such conservation efforts. Although this agreement is specific to work to be funded and completed during the next year, our expectation is to continue to collaborate moving forward, subject to funding availability. Specifically, the initial year of this task agreement will focus on establishing a learning network for national water trail managers, including creating the network structure, hosting national water trails training workshop, and working with this network to develop educational materials that capture best practices and methodologies for broader application and dissemination beyond the participants of this network. These three components are broadly outlined below. A more specific work plan will be developed in the first month of this agreement and will outline activities designed to capture existing opportunities provided by other ongoing efforts, including River Network&amp;#191;s developing collaboration with the River Management Society and NPS&amp;#191;s internship program. Other subsequent phases of this agreement will be defined in future modifications that will fall under this main task. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Establish a National Water Trails Managers Learning Network that meets the needs identified through the 2014 needs assessment and is informed by River Network&amp;#191;s experience with learning networks. The structure of the Network will include an online forum that facilitates regular interactions and exchange of information/documents among water trail managers and a regular schedule of peer calls to encourage information sharing around topics identified by the participants. 2. Cooperatively with NPS, develop a strategy for phase two implementation of national water trails learning network, including support for a national water trails training workshop. 3. Provide logistical, organizational and facilitation support for national water trails training workshop to be held in the Spring/Summer 2015. 4. Administer NPS scholarship awards for attendance to the national water trails workshop in coordination with local host organization(s), pending available funding. 5. Plan, develop, and produce an educational program (e.g., webinar series, how to manual, etc.) that allows the best practices and methodologies developed through this Learning Network to have broader application and dissemination beyond this network. Priority will be given to developing tools that help entities increase public and citizen engagement around river and watershed protection, helping move members of the public along the &amp;#191;Recreation &amp;#61664; Volunteer/Supporter &amp;#61664; Engaged Citizen&amp;#191; continuum. These materials will be developed through a process that includes researching the experiences of River Network&amp;#191;s affiliates, convening trail managers to share best practices and inviting experts from outside the water recreation or environmental arena to share their experiences. In addition to citizen engagement materials, if additional staffing or intern resources are provided and resources are available during this or future task agreement periods, we will expand our focus to also include financial innovations for river and watershed protection (e.g., ballot initiatives, tax measures, water funds, etc.). NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Cooperatively with River Network, develop a strategy for the creation of a National Water Trails Managers Learning Network and its ongoing development, based on the 2014 needs assessment. 2. Provide leadership and organizational support for national water trails training workshop. 3. Provide contact and background information for the managers of the national water trails. 4. Solicit support for development of the National Water Trails Managers Learning Network from the Interagency National Water Trails team. 5. Include tasks that support NPS and River Network&amp;#191;s cooperatively held goals in work plans guiding NPS RTCA internship programs. 6. Maintain ongoing contact with River Network staff, including participating in regular monthly calls to keep staff apprised on progress on the above tasks. 7. Provide financial support to River Network to accomplish the above mentioned tasks. 8. Promote National River Rally as training and networking opportunity to RTCA and other NPS staff, national water trail managers and other members of RTCA&amp;#191;s national network.

        <Description>This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds from the NIH Common Fund (Common Fund) and participating NIH Institute(s) and Center(s), invites applications for projects that will develop accurate cellular and organ microsystems representative of human physiology for the evaluation of drug efficacy and toxicity. By definition, these cellular and organ microsystems will have a multicellular architecture representing the characteristics and functions of the tissue of origin and will demonstrate a reproducible and viable operation under physiological conditions over a long culture period. It is anticipated that these bio-engineered human tissue models could lead to the development and commercialization of microsystems that will enable rapid and high fidelity evaluation of safety and efficacy for candidate therapeutics.</Description>

        <Description>The proposed agreement will support the Quechan Indian Tribe&amp;#146;s efforts to abandon a 1200-foot discharge pipeline and to complete the installation of a replacement pipeline. The existing discharge piping system is buried under a dirt parking lot, at unknown depth and location, and has surpassed its useful life. The new discharge piping system will be placed adjacent to the existing line and will be constructed with heavier gauge large-diameter piping. Abandonment and replacement of the drainage well will prevent failure, reduce seepage, resolve flooding concerns and diminish the risk of non-point source pollution caused through unintentional breakage of the existing, dilapidated discharge piping system. Recipient Responsibilities The Recipient shall carry out the Scope of Work in accordance with the terms and conditions of the proposed financial assistance agreement. The Recipient shall adhere to Federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and codes, as applicable, and shall coordinate with Reclamation on all required approvals and permits. The following are specific Recipient Responsibilities to this award: - The Recipient will manage activities associated with the installation of the new discharge piping system improvements at the site. - Prior to the work commencing, the Tribe will coordinate with Reclamation on the development of approved designs and engineering specifications. Reclamation Responsibilities Reclamation will monitor and provide federal oversight of activities performed under this Agreement. Monitoring and oversight includes review and approval of financial status and performance reports, payment requests, and any other deliverables identified as part of the Scope of Work. Additional monitoring activities may include site visits, conference calls, and other on-site and off-site monitoring activities. At the Recipient&amp;#146;s request, Reclamation may also provide technical assistance to the Recipient in support of the Scope of Work and objectives of this Agreement. Substantial involvement by Reclamation is anticipated during the performance of activities funded under this cooperative agreement. In support of this Agreement, Reclamation will be responsible for the following: - Reclamation will provide the Tribe with counsel and technical assistance in securing permits for conducting the work. - Prior to the work commencing, Reclamation will review approved designs and engineering specifications. - Reclamation will support final well abandonment efforts. - Upon completion of the work and final acceptance by the Tribe, Reclamation will complete such documents required by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to cancel, modify, and/or terminate all licenses, permits, and rights-of-way associated with the DW-4 site and the location of the portion of the existing discharge line that will be abandoned. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby invites applications for basic research that represents significant advances in programming models, languages, compilers, runtime systems and tools that address fundamental challenges related to the system software stack for Exascale computing platforms (X-Stack). Programming models, languages, and related technologies that have sustained High Performance Computing (HPC) application software development for the past decade are inadequate for Exascale era computers. The significant increase in complexity of Exascale platforms due to energy-constrained, billion-way parallelism, with major changes to processor architecture, requires new energy-efficient and resilient programming techniques that are portable across multiple future machine generations. We expect to make research investments that address fundamental Exascale challenges, while offering a transition path for existing scientific applications to fully explore the challenges and rewards of Exascale platforms. Exascale programming challenges and strategies were identified in the ASCR Exascale Programming Challenges Workshop [1] and carefully captured in the workshop report [2]. Challenges and strategies related to tools for Exascale platforms were identified in the ASCR Exascale T ools Workshop [3], and captured in the workshop report [4]. Sought are complete solutions that will address multiple components of the system software stack and that will have the following characteristics: ? Scalability: enable applications to strongly scale to Exascale levels of parallelism; ? Programmability: clearly reduce the burden we are placing on high performance programmers; ? Performance Portability: eliminate or significantly minimize requirements for porting to future platforms; ? Resilience: properly manage fault detection and recovery at all components of the software stack; and ? Energy Efficiency: maximally exploit dynamic energy saving opportunities, leveraging the tradeoffs between energy efficiency, resilience, and performance.

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE AND EARTH SCIENCES (ROSES) 2011 NNH11ZDA001N, entitled &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences - 2011 (ROSES-2011),&amp;quot; will be available on or about February 18, 2011, by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Open Solicitations.&amp;quot; This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals for supporting basic and applied research and technology across a broad range of Earth and space science program elements relevant to one or more of the following NASA Research Programs: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on April 29, 2011, and continue through April 30, 2012. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 18, 2011. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2012, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA can be found at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2011/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA, while questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: sara@nasa.gov; Telephone: 202-358-0879.</Description>

        <Description>Twenty-five percent of adults 15-49 years of age in Botswana are HIV-positive. Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) is one of the key prevention strategies for control of HIV. The goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to assist the Government of Botswana in its VMMC activities over the next 5 years. There are two main activities to be implemented. First, the awardee will a) create demand for VMMC services, b) ensure that all males seeking VMMC are offered testing for HIV, and c) conduct at least 60,000 VMMC procedures among HIV-negative males or males of unknown HIV status 13-49 years of age in three geographic areas of the country during a 5-year period (&amp;gt;4,000 procedures per site per year). There is the possibility of expansion to additional areas during the course of the award if the implementation model is successful. Second, the awardee will collaborate with the ongoing Botswana Combination Prevention Project (BCPP) which was begun in late 2013 and is scheduled to last for 5 years. This award will begin at year 1.5 of the study. The timeframe for BCPP activities in this FOA is dependent on study progression. The awardee will be prepared and able to circumcise at least 80% of HIV-negative males or males of unknown HIV status 16-49 years of age, and as many HIV-negative males or males of unknown HIV status 50-64 years of age as possible, in 15 Botswana Combination Prevention Project (BCPP) sites by the end of year 3 of the study. The awardee will then maintain these coverage levels at all 15 BCPP intervention sites for years 3-5 of the study if the VMMC component of the project is continued beyond the period planned for achieving the initial targets. For both main activities, the awardee must implement a robust system of monitoring and evaluating (M&amp;amp;E) all VMMC-related activities that is aligned with the existing national M&amp;amp;E system. There must be an emphasis on providing high quality services and meeting VMMC targets at an acceptable cost per circumcision performed.</Description>

        <Description>The Arctic Goose Joint Venture (AGJV) is a partnership-based conservation program under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan that promotes the conservation of northern-nesting geese by providing greater knowledge for effective management. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a partner in the AGJV, administers grants, purchase orders, and contracts on a competitive basis for projects/studies that advance the general scientific community&amp;apos;s understanding of goose ecology and management and is seeking proposals from interested parties. The AGJV is receptive to funding annual projects as well as a limited number of multi-year (up to 5 year) projects. Successful multi-year projects will be funded in 1-year increments, subject to annual review, demonstration of suitable progress, and availability of funds. After 5 years of consecutive funding, those projects may reapply and be re-evaluated based on their continued merit. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institutes of Health, solicits early stage, high-risk/high-impact applications to develop next-generation tools that distinguish heterogeneous states among cells in situ. Applications should define the current state of technology as a benchmark against which the new tool(s) will be measured and should propose proof-of-concept testing of the tool(s) in a complex biological tissue or living organism. The new tools should provide substantially increased sensitivity, selectivity, spatiotemporal resolution, scalability or non-destructive analysis of multiple global or functional measures of single cells. These novel technologies will aid in obtaining a fine-grained, integrative and dynamic view of heterogeneous cellular states/classes and will provide innovative platforms to transform research into the cellular basis of diseases.</Description>

        <Description>This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds from the NIH Common Fund (Common Fund) and participating NIH Institute(s) and Center(s), invites applications for the development of human multi-cellular models that can replicate aspects of human organ physiology. Disease pathogenesis, cell-type diversity, genomic complexity, monitoring of cell to cell and cell to matrix interactions and microenvironment regulation are key aspects to be addressed by these model systems. The multi-cellular architecture will represent characteristics of the organ being modeled and will demonstrate reproducible cellular signatures and functional outputs under physiological conditions. It is anticipated that these human cell/tissue models could lead to the development and commercialization of cellular 3D modules that would eventually become part of larger organ systems targeted for rapid and high fidelity safety and efficacy evaluation of candidate therapeutics. Applications unresponsive to this FOA are those developing 3D tissues for transplantation, engineering non-human tissue models or developing simple 3D models that do not go significantly beyond those currently available and in use. Funds from the NIH will be made available through the U18 cooperative agreement award mechanism. These 2 year awards will support studies to develop multi-cellular models representative of the cellular diversity, genomic complexity, cellular architecture and function of the tissues or organs being modeled.Multi-cellular models that reflect disease pathologies including but not limited to cardiomyopathy, endocrinopathies, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, autoimmunity, fibrosis, muscular dystrophies, neuromuscular disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, seizures, pulmonary hypertension and cystic fibrosis are of particular interest. The NIH is collaborating with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to enable coordination of separate but parallel efforts in development of in vitro microphysiological systems as they relate to regulatory science.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#191;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P14AS00291 Project Title RESOURCE INVENTORY &amp;amp; CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT: GREAT FALLS OF THE PASSAIC/S.U.M. NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK DISTRICT, PATERSON, NJ Recipient Organization of American Historians Principle Investigator / Program Manager Aidan Smith Total Anticipated Award Amount $25,341.47 Cost Share none New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement H2261100002 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 9/1/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 9/1/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1(g) CFDA # and Title 15.946 Cultural Resources Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number H2261100002 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Organization of American Historians (OAH) for the purposes of promoting the greater public and private understanding of American history for their mutual benefit and for the people of the United States as well as for future generations, so that they can enjoy the historic resources of the NPS. On April 17, 1970, the U.S. Secretary of the Interior designated the Great Falls of the Passaic/Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures Historic District in Paterson, New Jersey as a National Historic Landmark (NHL). The district was recognized as nationally significant as one of the first attempts in the United States to harness river power to industrial production when Alexander Hamilton and associates established the Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures (S.U.M.) in 1791. The S.U.M. engaged renowned engineer Pierre Charles L&amp;#191;Enfant and, after the panic of 1792, Peter Colt to construct a reservoir and raceway to power a cotton mill. During the first half of the 19th century, the S.U.M. expanded the raceway system, constructing additional canals and locks, to accommodate new factories and to facilitate river transportation, as well as a hydro-electric plant in the early 20th century. The Great Falls NHL District includes the major components of the first major hydraulic power system in the U.S., including the site of the original S.U.M. dam and raceway entrance, a second dam, the S.U.M. gatehouse, the Ivanhoe Wheelhouse, the Market Street underground raceway, the Essex Mill penstock and reservoir, the Essex Mill spillway, and the sandstone bridge spanning this spillway. A 1986 boundary expansion to the Great Falls NHL District included the Argus Mill within the district. With the decline of textile manufacturing during the 20th century, Paterson&amp;#191;s industrial infrastructure has undergone significant changes through stages of deindustrialization and revitalization. In 2011, the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park was established to preserve and interpret resources associated with Paterson&amp;#191;s industrial past. While the park is undertaking a Historic Resource Study and an Ethnographic Overview and Assessment to inventory and evaluate cultural resources within the park&amp;#191;s boundary, an evaluation of the nationally significant resources of the Great Falls NHL District that fall outside of the park boundary is needed. This project will conduct a thorough inventory and condition assessment of all resources within the NHL District that will inform updated National Register/NHL documentation and contribute to the preservation and interpretation of these nationally significant resources. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT a. Work with the NPS Northeast Region to complete an inventory and condition assessment of cultural resources within the boundaries of the Great Falls of the Passaic/S.U.M. (Society for Useful Manufactures) National Historic Landmark District. b. Work with NPS to develop a detailed statement of work, based on Article I of this task agreement that will be used to identify appropriate scholars and task their work. c. Engage an appropriate scholar to undertake the work and act as the liaison between the NPS and the scholar; d. Ensure that the final survey and inventory manuscript is prepared as a scholarly report meeting the standards of the historical profession and the NPS through project management, including coordination of agency and peer review comments and provision of editorial services; e. Make the report available to its membership, as well as the general public, and promote the report within its professional networks so as to make the report as widely available as possible to scholars of American History, so that those scholars and teachers may use the report&amp;#191;s findings in their teaching and writing, to the benefit of not only the scholarly community but students at many levels; Promote, to its membership and through its professional networks, any use by NPS of the report in its management and planning, so as to draw attention to its continued efforts to make the presentation and practice of American History within NPS as informed, current, and professional as possible NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: a. Work with the OAH to develop a detailed statement of work, based on Article I of this task agreement, for the scholar to follow in order to complete the inventory and condition assessment report; b. Work with the OAH in selecting the scholar(s) to conduct the research; c. Provide the scholar with relevant NHL documentation, including copies of all district nominations and updates and direct the scholar to repositories for existing inventories and analyses; d. Coordinate the exchange of research materials and analyses for the scholar(s) with the principal investigators of research projects conducted by Paterson Great Falls NHP, including a Historic Resource Study and an Ethnographic Overview &amp;amp; Assessment; e. Review the progress of the research to ensure relevance and quality; f. Distribute the report and make the research available to park managers and the general public for use in management and planning; The OAH and the NPS agree to work cooperatively on the project on a regular basis for the purpose of providing guidance to the scholars(s), monitoring work, providing input, and setting or adjusting priorities. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This is a Task Agreement (P14AC01572) under Cooperative Agreement (H2261100002) in the amount of $25,341.47 with a period of performance from date of award until 09/01/2016.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support applications that address the mechanisms by which novel, unexplored targets and pathways, or known targets, mediate the sustained weight loss, diabetes resolution and improvements in other obesity-related metabolic diseases reported following bariatric surgery in humans. Studies directly addressing novel mechanisms using targeted approaches are of interest and responsive to this FOA particularly those which utilize up-to-date sophisticated methodologies. Studies simply identifying differences in responses before and after surgery that do not address mechanism will not be considered responsive. Only studies involving human subjects will be considered. </Description>

        <Description>The Second Chance Act (SCA) of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The Second Chance Act helps to ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. As part of a collaborative effort with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), BJA seeks proposals to implement and rigorously test important criminal justice interventions and programs as part of a multi-site Demonstration Field Experiment (DFE) on prisoner reentry. The tested intervention will address motivation to change as well as criminal thinking, two areas that we need more scientific information. In addition, parole officers and service providers will work collaboratively to improve delivery of the DFE intervention. The DFE will use a randomized controlled trial research method. This multi-site DFE is part of BJA&amp;#146;s reentry activities supported with funding under the SCA. One purpose of the SCA is to generate new evidence about effective solutions for reducing recidivism among the increasing number of people who are released from jail and prison to communities as well as the subsequent challenges communities face as offenders reintegrate into society.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency&amp;#146;s Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO) is announcing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for applicants to provide the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) non-federal partners with support for further integrating citizen-based and nontraditional environmental monitoring programs into the CBP partnership&amp;#146;s existing monitoring networks. Citizen-based monitoring programs are routine environmental data collection efforts carried out by volunteers and overseen and coordinated by a given organization. Nontraditional monitoring programs are defined here as routine environmental data collection carried out by a given organization or agency and may include local governments, conservation districts, or nongovernmental organizations (academia, river basin commissions, watershed organizations, etc.) that are currently not formally part of the CBP partnership&amp;#146;s existing monitoring networks. The integration of citizen-based and nontraditional partner monitoring programs into the CBP partnership&amp;#146;s monitoring networks will provide additional, cost-effective data and information that supports shared decision-making and adaptive management by the CBP partners focused on restoration of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. This work includes providing technical, logistical, and outreach support for the integration of nontraditional partners&amp;#146; monitoring programs into the existing watershed and tidal monitoring networks as directed by the CBP Scientific, Technical Assessment and Reporting STAR) Team. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#191;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P14AS00293 Project Title PROPERTY INVENTORY AND EVALUATION: SITES POTENTIALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER THEME STUDY Recipient Organization of American Historians Principle Investigator / Program Manager Aidan Smith Total Anticipated Award Amount $29.492.50 Cost Share none New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement H2261100002 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 12/30/2015 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 12/30/2015 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1(g) CFDA # and Title 15,946 Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number H2261100002 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Organization of American Historians (OAH) for the purposes of promoting the greater public and private understanding of American history for their mutual benefit and for the people of the United States as well as for future generations, so that they can enjoy the historic resources of the NPS. In June 2014, the Secretary of the Interior announced the NPS&amp;#191;s commitment to fund a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) theme study as part of the NPS&amp;#191;s LGBT Heritage Initiative to explore how the legacy of lesbians, gays, bisexual, transgendered, individuals can be recognized, preserved, and interpreted for future generations. The Secretary shared news of the study during a meeting outside of the Stonewall Inn, a National Historic Landmark (NHL) in lower Manhattan, which bears testimony to the emergence of the modern gay rights movement. There, on June 29, 1969, gay patrons and their allies resisted one of many repeated police raids on the bar, asserting their rights to equal protection under the law and protesting discrimination based on sexual orientation. Though the police subdued street violence after several days, the Stonewall &amp;#191;riots&amp;#191; inspired a new spirit of activism, including the first Pride parade in New York commemorating the event&amp;#191;s first anniversary in 1970. The National Historic Landmarks Program is currently working with scholars and community advocates to develop a framework for identifying and interpreting sites which depict LBGT history and the realization of our collective vision for equal rights throughout the nation. This project will build on new and existing work about LGBT history that can serve as both contextual and evaluative tools in identifying sites associated with the interests and accomplishments of LGBT people in the greater New York area, which has served as an important cultural and political center of LGBT culture for more than a century. This project will identify new properties, as well as to identify and interpret LGBT themes at existing National Park Service and National Historic Landmark sites that connect the experiences of LGBT people to our national narrative. This inventory of sites and property analyses will identify sites for NHL designation and contribute to the preservation and interpretation of these nationally significant resources. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT a. Work with the staff in Preservation Assistance of the NPS Northeast Region to complete an inventory of sites in the greater New York area for potential NHL designation based on associations with LGBT history and to develop Letters of Inquiry to initiate formal evaluation for designation as NHLs by the National Historic Landmarks Committee of the National Parks Advisory Board; b. Work with NPS to develop a detailed scope of work, based on Article I of this task agreement that will be used to identify appropriate scholars and task their work. c. Engage an appropriate scholar to undertake the work and act as the liaison between the NPS and the scholar; d. Ensure that the final survey and evaluative essays/Letters of Inquiry are prepared as a scholarly report meeting the standards of the historical profession and of the Landmark Committee process for designating properties, including coordination of agency and peer review comments and provision of editorial services; e. Make the report available to its membership, as well as the public more broadly, and promote the report within its professional networks so as to make the report as widely available as possible to scholars of American History, so that those scholars and teachers may use the report&amp;#191;s findings in their teaching and writing, to the benefit of not only the scholarly community but students at many levels; f. Promote, to its membership and through its professional networks, any use by NPS of the report in its management and planning, so as to draw attention to its continued efforts to make the presentation and practice of American History within NPS as informed, current, and professional as possible, which is a core mission of the OAH. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: a. Work with the OAH to develop a detailed scope of work, based on Article I of this task agreement, for the scholar to follow in order to complete the inventory and condition assessment report; b. Work with the OAH in selecting the scholar(s) to conduct the research; c. Provide the scholar with relevant NHL documentation, including copies of all relevant property nominations and updates in the study area, and direct the scholar to repositories for existing inventories and analyses; d. Work with the OAH and the selected scholar to identify one to four surveyed sites for more extensive evaluation as potential NHLS; e. Review the progress of the research to ensure relevance and quality; f. Coordination submission of the report to the NHL Program (WASO) and make the research available to park managers and the general public for use in management and planning. The OAH and the NPS agree to work cooperatively on the project on a regular basis for the purpose of providing guidance to the scholars(s), monitoring work, providing input, and setting or adjusting priorities. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed.

        <Description>Purpose. This FOA solicits Center Core grant (P30) applications from organizations with a demonstrated track record of success in conducting research in primary care PBRNs. Each successful applicant will serve as a Research Center in Practice-Based Research and Learning. These Each Center must have at least 120 primary care member practices and may either consist of 1) a primary organization with 3 or more affiliated regional PBRNs(including a PBRN affiliated with the primary organizations); or 2) be a national PBRN organized around shared resources and research infrastructure. It is expected that each Center will foster a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary research environment. By leveraging common resources, it is expected that either the consortium of PBRNs or the national PBRN will demonstrate greater productivity and will develop and conduct independent research projects more quickly than they would as separate PBRNs without a central infrastructure and collaborative partners. AHRQ is particularly interested in supporting an infrastructure that would accelerate both the generation of new knowledge and a community of learning for primary care practices to improve quality, patient safety and effectiveness of care. This funding opportunity provides no funds for specific research projects. The funds to be awarded are intended to strengthen the research and dissemination infrastructure of each Center. It is expected that as a result of this funding, Centers will be more equipped to compete for research funding from AHRQ and other funders and be better able to conduct primary care practice-based research and support quality improvement in member practices. Additionally, AHRQ intends to publish future rapid-cycle FOAs describing research projects that will be limited to funded Centers because of the cohesive infrastructure required to respond to these rapid-cycle funding opportunities. </Description>

The Congress will share knowledge and innovation, setting the agenda for protected areas conservation for the decade to come. Building on the theme &amp;quot;Parks, People, Planet: Inspiring Solutions&amp;quot;, it will present, discuss and create original approaches for conservation and development, helping to address the gap in the conservation and sustainable development agenda. The NPS will play an important leadership role in the 2014 Congress as lead of the Responding to Climate Change stream, one of eight focus areas that will be featured at the Congress, in collaboration with the Mexican National Commission for Natural Protected Areas (CONANP) and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Australia (CSIRO). The Responding to Climate Change Stream will assemble tools for enabling the role of protected areas as &amp;#191;natural solutions&amp;#191; in helping communities to mitigate, adapt to, and communicate about the impacts of climate change to protected area resources and the communities that depend on them. It includes new knowledge and case studies in the field of ecosystem-based management and emphasizes the critical role of education and effective communication. Delivery of the Responding to Climate Change Stream at the World Parks Congress The NPS will partner with CSU to facilitate the effective delivery of the WPC stream, which will include identifying and coordinating speakers and moderators for plenary sessions, thirty-six 90-minute concurrent sessions, eight side events, and numerous other activities. The range of session topics will include vulnerability assessments, monitoring, forecasts and modelling, adaptation planning and implementation, roles of cultural heritage and climate change, climate literacy, and communication, and tools for climate change interpretation. CSU will commit the expertise and time of the Principal Investigator (PI), to contribute to the organization and delivery of panel discussions, workshops, side events, capacity building, and training. The PI has extensive experience in the field of climate change science and education and has conducted numerous workshops and events. He will lead a small team to support the NPS in ensuring topics delivered to the sessions represent current scientific understanding and will personally provide training on science literacy and effective communication. In addition, CSU will coordinate the services of staff to support logistics, reporting on session outcomes, and communication with WPC participants. Case studies and approaches presented during the Congress and captured by the CSU team will be delivered as a Best Practices Guidelines manual for climate change adaptation that will be launched at the Congress in consultation form and finalized in June 2015 as part of the IUCN Best Practices Guidelines series. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Provide expertise, time, and effort by the PI to review session structure, conduct science literacy training, and facilitate dialog on the use of climate science information for resource management and decision making. 2. Participate in two (2) face-to-face planning meetings to take place in August or September and October 2014. 3. The PI will attend the Congress from November 10-20, 2014. 4. Provide for the travel and services of two (2) assistants at the Congress. 5. Provide for the travel and services of one Logistical Support person. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. The NPS will organize two (2) face-to-face planning meetings to take place in August or September and October 2014. 2. NPS will organize the Responding to Climate Change Stream of the World Parks Congress, including coordination of stream sessions, workshops, side events, and related activities. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This is a Task Agreement (P14AC01586) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) in the amount of $51,071 with a period of performance from date of award until 12/30/2015. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State University and NPS is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network&amp;quot;. Also, on the SF 424 forms that the partner sponsored programs office fills out for each project, requires a CFDA number - 15.945, which is the number associated with the CFDA Title: COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND TRAINING PROGRAMS - RESOURCES OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE (CESU). STATUTORY AUTHORITY 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1g authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements that involve the transfer of NPS appropriated funds to state, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1a-2(j) Cooperative research and training programs authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements with public or private educational institutions, states, and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing adequate, coordinated, cooperative research and training programs concerning the resources of the national park system. Pursuant to such agreements, the cooperator may accept from or make available to the NPS technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and equipment, facilities, and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate (research projects subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation excluded). Modified 5/31/05 &amp;#191; Agreement Handbook Memorandum Number 2 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;5933 Cooperative agreements. The Secretary is authorized and directed to enter into cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, including but not limited to land grant schools, in partnership with other Federal and State agencies, to establish cooperative study units to conduct multi-disciplinary research and develop integrated information products on the resources of the National Park System, or the larger region of which parks are a part. </Description>

        <Description>A core priority of PEPFAR is to ensure high quality, robust data are available to monitor and evaluate the national response to HIV. In Mozambique, the USG has worked closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and implementing partners from 2009 -2014 to strengthen health information systems in Mozambique; while progress has been made in some areas, some challenges continue: the Ministry of Health continues to have weak capacity to plan, develop, monitor, and maintain key information systems. There is inadequate human resource capacity in the public and private sector at national and subnational levels to develop and deploys health information systems. Despite expansion of some health information systems, harmonization and interoperability of these systems needs to be strengthened. The USG is working to strengthen both GRM&amp;#146;s HIV-specific information systems as well as broader program specific and sector wide health information systems that monitor MCH, malaria, nutrition, TB, mortality, and other key indicators of health. The USG aligns its support in Strategic Information to several key national SI Plans including the MOH Department of Health Information (DIS)&amp;#146;s five-year HIS strategy (2014-2019). The objective of this FOA is to strengthen local capacity and country ownership in health information systems. The primary activities include support for mortality surveillance, standardized tracking systems for monitoring patients in HIV care and treatment, assist to define e-Health architecture, training of Mozambican staff in informatics, application of data quality standards and best practices, and expansion of central Information Systems (HIS) into provincial and regional facilities. </Description>

        <Description>Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections (SCHC) helps cultural institutions meet the complex challenge of preserving large and diverse holdings of humanities materials for future generations by supporting sustainable conservation measures that mitigate deterioration and prolong the useful life of collections. Libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country face an enormous challenge: to preserve collections that facilitate research, strengthen teaching, and provide opportunities for life-long learning in the humanities. Ensuring the preservation of books and manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art, and historical objects requires institutions to implement measures that slow deterioration and prevent catastrophic loss. This work is best accomplished through preventive conservation, which encompasses managing relative humidity, temperature, light, and pollutants in collection spaces; providing protective storage enclosures and systems for collections; and safeguarding collections from theft and from natural and man-made disasters. As museums, libraries, archives, and other collecting institutions strive to be effective stewards of humanities collections, they must find ways to implement preventive conservation measures that are sustainable. This program therefore helps cultural repositories plan and implement preservation strategies that pragmatically balance effectiveness, cost, and environmental impact. Sustainable approaches to preservation can contribute to an institution&amp;#191;s financial health, reduce its use of fossil fuels, and benefit its green initiatives, while ensuring that collections are well cared for and available for use in humanities programming, education, and research. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to provide funding to an entity to manage and administer public-private partnerships (PPPs) under the President&amp;#146;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Consistent with the PEPFAR Blueprint , PPPs play a critical role in strengthening and extending the principle of shared responsibility in achieving an AIDS-free generation. PEPFAR defines PPPs as collaborative endeavors that combine resources from the public sector with resources from the private sector to accomplish HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment goals. By leveraging private sector resources (financial and expertise), PPPs enable the U.S. government and private sector entities to enhance their efforts through jointly defined objectives, program design and implementation, and the sharing of resources, risks, and results. PPPs also help assist the sustainability of programs, facilitate scale up of interventions, strengthen country ownership, and leverage significant private sector resources. The ultimate goal of a PPP is to allow more people to benefit due to the additional resources &amp;#150; whether monetary or technical &amp;#150; brought to the partnership by the private sector organization. </Description>

        <Description>The main goal of this program is to strengthen the capacity of indigenous organizations to develop and deliver science-based HIV and STI risk reduction interventions for mobile (mostly Haitian) populations, improve linkages to HIV/STI/TB treatment and care, and increase their understanding about the benefits of early treatment. Key objectives are to increase the opportunity, capacity and motivation of mobile populations to adopt healthier sexual behaviors, increase the capacity of indigenous organizations to offer HIV prevention services to mobile populations, improve the availability and accessibility of high quality condoms, and increase access to friendly clinical and care services for HIV/STI/TB. This program will provide prevention services in 10 provinces and will target construction workers, market vendors, and agricultural workers. The implementation will be through indigenous organizations. The use of clinical mobile units will be needed to test individuals at their work site, over extended hours and multiple locations. Close coordination and collaboration with Ministry of Health (MOH) facilitates will be required. </Description>

        <Description>With 17% of the general population infected with HIV, Botswana has one of the highest prevalence rates in the world. Historically, the country has also had a high incidence of TB. The Government of Botswana has developed some of the strongest treatment and prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) programs in sub-Saharan Africa. As PEPFAR Botswana transitions to a technical assistance (TA) model, there is an increasing focus on the training and mentoring of health care workers to build local capacity.This FOA has five program areas related to capacity building:Program Area A: Care, support and treatment, including PMTCT, for adult and pediatric populationsProgram Area B: TB/HIVProgram Area C: LaboratoryProgram Area D: InformaticsProgram Area E: Cervical cancerAll activities will be done in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH). Training and mentoring needs are ongoing due to high staff turnover and changing international recommendations. Implementing partners should build the capacity of the MOH to provide these services without outside assistance by the end of year 5 of the cooperative agreement.</Description>

        <Description>Swaziland is among the countries with the most severe HIV and TB dual epidemic in the general population. The current annual adult HIV incidence is estimated as high as 2.4%. HIV prevalence among adults aged 18-49 years is 31% and TB incidence rate is 1380/100,000 persons. About 6,000 TB cases are expected to be diagnosed by 2015. Approximately 75-80% of TB cases are co-infected with HIV. HIV prevalence among pregnant women in Swaziland is among the highest globally at 41%. While Swaziland has made significant strides in addressing the HIV and TB dual epidemic, more effort is needed to reach universal coverage at new WHO 2013 recommended guidelines; improve delivery of quality clinical services across the entire continuum of HIV testing, care, treatment and retention such that it is seamless, comprehensive and integrated within existing structures; and increase capacity for sustainable MOH stewardship at the national, regional, and facility level. Although Swaziland has made great progress in scaling up HIV and TB clinical services, including TB/HIV collaborative activities (Intensified TB case finding (ICF), Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) and TB Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)), critical gaps and missed opportunities exist in reaching children, adolescents, and key populations (KP) with HIV services, reaching pregnant women and TB clients with ART, efficient utilization of limited resources, and strengthening structures for long term sustainability of quality-assured programs. </Description>

        <Description>Swaziland is among the countries with the most severe HIV and TB dual epidemic in the general population. The current annual adult HIV incidence is estimated as high as 2.4%. HIV prevalence among adults aged 18-49 years is 31% and TB incidence rate is 1380/100,000 persons. About 6,000 TB cases are expected to be diagnosed by 2015. Approximately 75-80% of TB cases are co-infected with HIV. HIV prevalence among pregnant women in Swaziland is among the highest globally at 41%. While Swaziland has made significant strides in addressing the HIV and TB dual epidemic, more effort is needed to reach universal coverage at new WHO 2013 recommended guidelines; improve delivery of quality clinical services across the entire continuum of HIV testing, care, treatment and retention such that it is seamless, comprehensive, and integrated within existing structures; and increase capacity for sustainable MOH stewardship at the national, regional, and facility level. Although Swaziland has made great progress in scaling up HIV and TB clinical services, including TB/HIV collaborative activities (Intensified TB case finding (ICF), Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) and TB Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)), critical gaps and missed opportunities exist in reaching children, adolescents, and key populations (KP) with HIV services, reaching pregnant women and TB clients with ART, efficient utilization of limited resources, and strengthening structures for long term sustainability of quality-assured programs. </Description>

        <Description>Improving access to quality-assured laboratory services is an essential aspect of the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland (GKOS) and PEPFAR&amp;#146;s response to the HIV and TB epidemics. Since 2009, PEPFAR has worked with the Swaziland Health Laboratory Services (SHLS) to support the expansion of Quality Management Systems (QMS) to all laboratories in the country. While important progress has been made, including towards implementation of a laboratory information system, no laboratory has yet achieved accreditation based on international standards. In addition, the SHLS lacks a standardized handbook defining the types of lab services that patients should expect to access at different levels of the health system. Such a handbook is essential to set expectations and measure progress towards decentralization. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project with University of Alaska Fairbanks under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. The project intended award is $95,561.00 in 2014. This is a continuation of an existing agreement, number P11AC90458 (P11AT36145)ending on 12/31/2015. STATUTORY AUTHORITY: Agreements Concerning Cooperative Research and Training on NPS Resources (16 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 1a-2(j)): The Secretary may enter into agreements with public or private educational institutions, States and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing adequate, coordinated, cooperative research and training programs concerning the resources of the National Park System, and pursuant to such agreements, to accept from and make available to the cooperator such technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and equipment, facilities, and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The peopling of the New World has become one of the most popular sagas of world history, capturing the attention of not only the scientific community, but indigenous communities, management agencies, and the public at large. Recent genetic, linguistic and archaeological research suggests that the Pacific Coast of North America served as one access corridor for the peopling of the New World. Researchers have posited that a contiguous environmental band, extending from Alaska to South America, facilitated migration of ancestral peoples from Asia throughout North and South America. However, our understanding of the exact location of ancient shorelines, prevailing environmental conditions, resource availability, and coastal habitation sites has been hampered by lack of, or poorly collated, data. Those data that exist are typically unpublished and/or scattered and are largely unavailable to the American public. The primary purpose of this agreement is to develop a model of Glacier Bay National Park&amp;#191;s ancient coastline by collating extant data and conducting field tests to further validate existing theories of shoreline location and morphology. This project will bring together seasoned field researchers to search existing literature, compile scattered data, and conduct field tests to validate the premises of the analysis.The purpose of this project is to develop a model of Glacier Bay&amp;#191;s ancestral coastline such that the scientific and public understanding of migration routes, settlement patterns, indigenous community kinship patterns, traditional resource uses, disease etymology, etc. is enhanced. At a local level, understanding the ancient coastal morphology and environment of Glacier Bay may assist the Tlingit nation with numerous ongoing ancestral heritage issues including locating village sites, resolving clan territorial claims, and validating and preserving oral tradition. The data compiled by this study will also identify a highly significant ecological and cultural park resource, and will make it available to better understand global climate change. Importantly, Glacier Bay National Park attracts thousands of annual visitors annually, many of whom are drawn by the areas dynamic geological history. The results of this study will be made available to international travelers interested in learning more about glaciology and ancestral human history.The successful completion of this project involves a substantial degree of cooperation between the National Park Service and the UAF researchers. The NPS archeologist and UAF researchers will work collaboratively in the field to locate, test and document remnants of ancient landscapes. Modifications to research methodologies, testing localities and other areas will be made collaboratively between the NPS and the researchers throughout the project as necessary. The researchers and NPS will jointly give presentations to park staff and the general public, conveying the results of the study as well as an appreciation and awareness of historic preservation and stewardship. The partner, in cooperation with the National Park Service will: The recipient will focus efforts on collecting geomorphological data in the field followed by analysis of data and preparation of a season report. Specific actions include: 1. UAF researchers will conduct field surveys and testing along the outer coast of Glacier Bay National Park. Following the field season, researchers will submit collected samples for AMS 14C dating, cosmogenic isotope dating, and pollen analyses. 3. UAF researchers will prepare a field season report identifying the areas surveyed, any refinements to the sampling strategy, results of tests, summarized conclusions, and recommendations for future work. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT -Substantial Involvement :The NPS archeologist will assist the UAF researchers in this cooperative research endeavor by (1) compiling (and/or making readily available) extant data and other related information on coastal geomorphology available, (2) cooperatively identify potential study sites along the coastline, (3) assisting with the development of logistical plans for accessing study sites including coordination of field research with appropriate NPS backcountry services, (4) conducting or facilitating necessary government-to-government consultations with tribal organizations, (5) interfacing between the cooperator and regional NPS Programs, (6) coordinating input of data into the NPS Archeological Sites Management Information System (ASMIS) program, (7) coordinating the NPS research permitting process, (8) cooperatively reviewing and modifying research methodologies and testing localities, and (9) reviewing and revising resulting publications, and (10) transferring the study results to NPS staff responsible for providing interpretive services to the public. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION: Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award . The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: Continuation &amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant advere effect on the continuity or completion of the activity.This is the third season of this project.

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) addresses the strong need for an electronic repository system in Rwanda. The system will be a web-based monitoring and reporting system to be used by all USG PEPFAR-funded agencies and implementing partners operating in the country, including the Rwandan Ministry of Health, the Rwanda Biomedical Center, and other PEPFAR implementing partners. An initial assessment of the existing electronic system will provide insights on whether or not maintenance, upgrade, or the development of a new platform will address the needs of PEPFAR Rwanda. A flexible and stable platform is needed and will serve as the unique repository of PEPFAR Rwanda program data at the country level. It will be used to generate PEPFAR periodic reports, including the semi-annual and annual progress reports and additional ad hoc requests. The purpose of this FOA is to develop a new system or upgrade and maintain the existing web-based reporting system that has been in place since 2008 and build local capacity within the USG team to manage and maintain the system. The system should include automated checks for data quality. In doing so, the system will add new functionality (e.g., dashboard to easily view achievement of indicators, etc.) as well as add additional data variables to be used for HIV program planning and implementation. The Division of HIV/AIDS at the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) will be one of the major users of the data stored and managed on the system, and the successful applicant will be expected to work closely with this division to refine some of the data elements collected to ensure harmonization with the national system.</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will provide funding to build an indigenous, sustainable National Health Laboratory System to support to the National HIV/AIDS Care and Treatment Plan at all health care levels in Uganda. The awardee will work to support strengthening the laboratory sector in Uganda. Despite being the entry point for HIV prevention, care and treatment, laboratory services remain the weakest link in the health care delivery system in Uganda. Many of the laboratories have poor physical infrastructure and inadequate human resources, as well as lack of quality and bio-risk management systems. There is also frequent stock out of supplies and break down of equipment due to inadequate equipment support services. Despite the presence of legislation regulating registration of laboratories and their personnel, most laboratories and personnel are not registered and do not conform to the recommended national standards. The Government of Uganda (GoU), in collaboration with Health Development Partners, is working to solve these challenges including by supporting a National Health Laboratories establishment to coordinate and manage the national laboratory network at national, regional, and district levels in both the public and private sectors.</Description>

        <Description>PEPFAR South Sudan collaborates closely with the Republic of South Sudan (RSS) Ministry of Health (MOH) and other key partners to implement the HIV/AIDS National Strategic Plan (NSP) and has developed a five year PEPFAR strategy for the RSS. By targeting geographic areas with high HIV prevalence, PEPFAR will assist the RSS to reach the HIV programmatic goal/tipping point of 16,000 net new HIV patients on treatment and an annual reduction of new HIV infections to below 13,000 by 2017. A primary objective to reach this goal requires improved availability and quality of HIV services for families and other high-impact populations using a public health approach. Under this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), PEPFAR South Sudan prioritizes working in collaboration with the MOH to implement the following approaches: 1) expand HIV testing and counseling (HTC) through high-yield testing approaches, 2) improve access to ART services for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, their partners, and children, 3) strengthen pediatric HIV testing, care and treatment within a family centered approach, and 4) advance the development of a sustainable infrastructure for South Sudan&amp;#146;s workforce. This FOA solicits a combination of capacity building and mentorship for the RSS MOH at the national, state and local levels as well as through direct service delivery to complement the MOH, Global Fund and other partner efforts to scale-up HIV prevention, care and treatment programs in South Sudan. </Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a cooperative agreement to The California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) under the authority of Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 15.512, and P.L. 102-575, Section 2802; and P.L. 89-161, Section 3a. Estimated total amount of agreement is $561,802 with Reclamation providing $280,901 in Fiscal Year 2014. The purpose of this agreement is to provide guidance regarding development of facilities, management of various recreation uses, and identifying and providing direction regarding the protection of cultural resources. Through a core planning team of agency staff from both DPR and Reclamation, the resulting RMP/GP will provide goals and guidelines related to the protection and management of wildlife, public use, and public safety, as well as efficient management of the Auburn SRA. As a programmatic document, it will define the purpose, vision, and intent for park unit management through goal statements, guidelines and broad objectives, but will stop short of defining specific objectives, methodologies and designs on how to accomplish these goals. The plan will guide day-to-day decision-making and serve as the basis for developing focused management plans and site-specific projects to implement the general plan/interim resource management plan goals. (Refer to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R14AN20016 for additional information). A Determination by the Government not to compete this proposed financial assistance agreement based upon Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14 (B)(2) &amp;amp; (4) is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. Questions concerning this announcement should be directed to Leanne Henderson, Grants Management Specialist, by email at lhenderson@usbr.gov. </Description>

        <Description>Tanzania is faced with a challenge of inadequate human resources for health (HRH), especially outside of large cities. Specifically, skills are needed to collect, analyze and manage disease and risk factor data so that this information can be used for decision making. It is estimated that Tanzania needs 225 epidemiologists (1 per 200,000 population) but currently has less than 20% of these, most of which are located at the national level. In order for Tanzania to meet its obligations for core surveillance and response, as specified in the International Health Regulations (IHR), well-trained field epidemiologists are needed. These surveillance and response capacities are needed to manage and plan HIV and AIDS, TB, malaria and other communicable and non-communicable disease programs, as well as to evaluate public health programs to inform, improve, and target appropriate health interventions. These needs are critical at the regional, district, facility and community levels where disease cases are registered, reported and collated. The first Tanzania Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (TFELTP) was launched in 2008 and started to provide needed capacity at the national and regional level. This program has grown with support from other donors and with direct government assistance. The existing TFELTP program consists of basic (3 months) and advanced (2 years) training. </Description>

        <Description>Randomized controlled trials have shown that male circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection among heterosexual men by about 60 percent. Following this evidence, countries with high HIV prevalence and low male circumcision rates were encouraged to adopt male circumcision as part of an HIV prevention comprehensive package. Malawi is a country in Southern Africa with HIV prevalence at 10.6% among the population aged 15-49 and low male circumcision rates, as only 22% males aged 15-49 report being circumcised. The majority of new infections occur among heterosexual sero-discordant, monogamous couples and among people who have multiple partners. Since Malawi adopted voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) as one component of the comprehensive package to HIV prevention, steady progress has been made in scaling up the services. To realize the 80% coverage and achieve maximum public health benefit, Malawi has a target of circumcising 2.1 million men in five years. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to increase population access to comprehensive HIV/AIDS services in order to decrease HIV/AIDS-associated morbidity and mortality and contribute to the successful control of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly in the two provinces where CDC provides support: Kinshasa and Katanga. DRC is a vast country with 2.3 million square kilometers and 70 million inhabitants; it has a generalized HIV epidemic with an HIV prevalence of 1.1%. Access to HIV services remains limited. This FOA proposes to build on the previous five years&amp;#146; work in supporting the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Kinshasa and Katanga provinces to expand access to quality HIV-related services. Activities include continued expansion of existing prevention interventions, including prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT)/B+ and HIV prevention among key populations; HIV care and treatment, including TB/HIV and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) services; HIV laboratory and related diagnostic services; and comprehensive monitoring and evaluation (M&amp;amp;E) and quality improvement activities. Activities will also involve improvement of family-centered and community-based HIV services, as well as the implementation of user-friendly services to increase access to HIV prevention, care and treatment in the Kinshasa and Katanga provinces. This FOA will contribute in closing the gap for Ministry of Health (MOH) HIV/AIDS key priorities by increasing coverage of services in PMTCT/B+, care and support, treatment, and TB/HIV and prevention among key populations. Other outcomes include increased coverage of laboratory monitoring and improved data use for decision making and policy development. The program activities will result in reducing HIV/AIDS mortality and morbidity and decreasing the transmission of HIV in DRC. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to strengthen capabilities of the Ministry of Health (MOH) to execute essential public health functions. This FOA aligns with and supports Global Health Initiative and PEPFAR sustainability and country ownership continuum investments in public health systems, health policies, and public health workforce development. Key components include (A) support for HIV/AIDS and other priority disease control programs, as well as support for departments performing cross-cutting public health functions at the Ministry of Health through technical assistance; and (B) support for public health workforce development using applied learning methodologies in a tiered-training model. This model will be tailored to the appropriate cadre and associated competencies at the community-extension, facility, sub-district, district and national levels. Particular focus will be given to enhancing capabilities of district health services to execute their mandate. At the core of this model is a two-year public health fellowship program including tracks in field epidemiology, public health informatics, public health laboratory systems, monitoring and evaluation (M&amp;amp;E) and health economics.</Description>

Special opportunities include access to unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions in other countries that will speed scientific discovery. Projects should have relevance to the mission of NIDA and where feasible should address NIDAs scientific priority areas. While the priorities will change from year to year, in FY12 priority areas include: linkages between HIV/AIDS and drug abuse, and prevention, initiation, and treatment of nicotine and tobacco use (especially among vulnerable populations such as children, adolescents, pregnant women, and those with co-morbid disorders).</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (PA) encourages collaborative research applications on drug abuse and addiction that take advantage of special opportunities that exist outside the United States. Special opportunities include access to unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions in other countries that will speed scientific discovery. Projects should have relevance to the mission of NIDA and where feasible should address NIDAs scientific priority areas. While the priorities will change from year to year, in FY12 priority areas include: linkages between HIV/AIDS and drug abuse, and prevention, initiation, and treatment of nicotine and tobacco use (especially among vulnerable populations such as children, adolescents, pregnant women, and those with co-morbid disorders).</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support novel basic and translational research projects that focus on the biology of residual oral reservoirs for HIV and opportunistic oral pathogens.These studies will advance our understanding of the immunologic, pathogenic, molecular and cellular mechanisms important for eliminating latently persistent, reactivation competent HIV and other opportunistic pathogens from residual oral reservoirs.Specifically, this FOA encourages studies on: 1) purging and abolishing these pathogens after using Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) to induce cytopathic killing and immunoclearance; or 2) developing alternative strategies that directly eliminate latently infected cells in which HAART resistant HIV and opportunistic pathogens persist in oral reservoirs.</Description>

        <Description>Feed the Future is the United States Government&amp;apos;s global hunger and food security initiative. It supports country driven approaches to address the root causes of hunger and poverty and forge long term solutions to chronic food insecurity and under nutrition. Drawing upon resources and expertise of agencies across the U.S. Government, this Presidential Initiative is helping countries transform their own agriculture sectors to grow enough food sustainably to feed their people. To support this effort the U.S. Agency for International Development is requesting applications from qualified organizations to implement the Support to Agricultural Research and Development Program, as described fully in Section I below. At the end of this agreement, USAID expects the implementer to achieve the following results: (1) The availability and implementation of improved agricultural production technologies and systems is increased; (2) Agricultural technologies and nutrition information extension systems are strengthened.</Description>

        <Description>ADVANCED REACTOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT During 2012 and continuing in 2014, DOE used a Technical Review Panel (TRP) process to identify Research and Development (R&amp;amp;D) needs for viable advanced reactor concepts in order to inform DOE-NE R&amp;amp;D investment decisions. That process involved the use of a Request for Information to solicit concept information from industry and engagement of technical experts from industry, universities and National Laboratories to evaluate those concepts. Having completed this process in 2014, DOE desires to partner with industry to conduct cost-shared R&amp;amp;D for selected technology needs identified by the TRP process. The intent of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to solicit proposals to conduct such cost-shared R&amp;amp;D activities. Consistent with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, funding in the amount of up to $12 million will be made available to fund cost-shared R&amp;amp;D with industry. This FOA is available at Fedconnect located at www.fedconnect.net under reference number DE-FOA-0001163. Applicants must register and acknowledge the FOA at fedconnect.net in order to submit questions and receive DOE notifications including responses to questions and submittals. The closing date for applications is October 7, 2014. Letters of intent are due no later than September 17, 2014. The DOE will conduct a Webinar on September 15, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. (EDT) covering project details and FOA application instructions. Webinar login instructions will be provided separately. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) in Malawi is to strengthen the laboratory systems by training human resources, improving laboratory infrastructure, building capacity in data management and use, and improving quality management systems. The objectives are to provide pre-service and in-service training for various cadre or laboratory staff, and to equip and perform alterations and refurbishments to at least 10 laboratories to perform essential microbiology, mycobacteriology, parasitology, hematology and chemistry. The FOA will also develop laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and improve the use of generated data in decision making, increase quality by supporting laboratories to develop and adhere to quality management systems (QMS), and strengthen quality control and quality assurance. The activities of the program will include health systems strengthening by increasing human resources, implementing necessary alterations and refurbishment to physical infrastructure, improving the specimen referral system, and improving data generation and handling capabilities through an electronic information system. The program will support the Ministry of Health (MOH) of Malawi to update the National Laboratory Policy document and the national laboratory strategic plan (NLSP) as well as other guidelines that standardize the delivery of laboratory services in Malawi. The program will support the National HIV response in prevention, diagnosis, eligibility determination, and monitoring of treatment effectiveness. Activities will therefore improve scaling up of early infant diagnosis (EID), CD4 monitoring, viral load monitoring, hematology, and chemistry, as well as improving diagnosis of opportunistic infections (OIs). </Description>

        <Description>Recreational boating is a popular activity in the U.S. There are approximately 13 million registered boats in the U.S., and each year over 70 million people enjoy a host of water-based recreational opportunities, such as fishing, cruising, waterskiing, and spending time with family and friends. Many recreational boats are equipped with on-board toilets and wastewater holding tanks, known as Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs). Proper disposal of recreational boat-related sewage is important in preserving and improving water quality in the country&amp;apos;s vital aquatic ecosystems. CVA provides States with Federal funding to support their ongoing efforts to improve recreational boating opportunities and provide boaters with clean, efficient facilities to prevent waste disposal into public waterways and other ecosystems. CVA is one of the Service&amp;apos;s user pay, public benefit grant programs. Excise taxes paid through motorboat fuel and sport fishing equipment purchases go into the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund. Approximately two percent of the trust fund is available for CVA grants each fiscal year. This year, we expect CVA to fund approximately $14 million in grants. Each year pumpouts and dump stations funded through CVA and matched with State, local, and/or private funds have a large impact on reducing the amount of potential waste in our nation&amp;apos;s waters. This has resulted in tremendous benefits such as improved water quality for public drinking water supplies, river ecosystems, and shellfish beds, convenient service for boaters on U.S. navigable waters, and boaters who are informed of how best to dispose of vessel sewage. Since the inception of CVA, the grant program has funded over 6,000 pumpouts and dump stations and has provided funds to help operate and maintain over 3,700 systems. Through dedication of the States, private marinas, the Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council, States Organization for Boating Access, environmental groups, and the boating public, millions of gallons of sewage have been diverted from polluting U.S. waters each year. These groups have also been instrumental in maintaining and operating the facilities in working order and providing information for the boating public regarding the importance of keeping our waters clean by using pumpout and dump stations.The program slogan is: Keep Our Water Clean - Use Pumpouts.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) Newborn Screening Demonstration Program is to support the development, dissemination and validation of screening protocols and newborn screening infrastructure for point of care screening specific to CCHD (i.e., the measurement of blood oxygen saturation as a detection method). The demonstration program must focus on enhancing state screening infrastructure, including the implementation of an electronic health information exchange for reporting and collecting pertinent information from hospitals, as well as the education and training of various stakeholders on testing methodology and follow-up protocols. This announcement solicits applications for activities to: 1) Enhance, improve or expand the capacity of state, local public health agencies and hospitals to: provide screening; counseling; link the results of CCHD screening to needed follow-up health care services; and/or perform the necessary quality assurance, outcomes analysis and other public health surveillance functions; 2) Assist in providing health care professionals and newborn screening program personnel with education in newborn screening and training in relevant new technologies for critical congenital heart disease (such as the use of pulse oximetry); 3) Develop and deliver educational programs (at appropriate literacy levels) about critical congenital heart disease newborn screening, counseling, testing, follow-up, treatment, and specialty services to parents, families, and patient advocacy and support groups; and 4) Establish, maintain, and operate a system to coordinate and assess screening programs and follow-up relating to critical congenital heart disease. </Description>

        <Description>Zambia has a 14.3% HIV prevalence among adults aged 15-49 and has had PEPFAR support for its HIV Prevention Care and Treatment Program since 2004. Part of this support has been targeted towards training and capacity building among healthcare providers, the majority of which has been in-service training. This form of training, necessitated by high staff turnover and emerging evidence which comes with changing international recommendations is costly and not sustainable. As PEPFAR support in Zambia reaches the ten year milestone, there is a need to maximize efficiencies by shifting to more sustainable and innovative training and capacity building models. In this regard, the FOA has two main components. Program Area A is the Training and Capacity building component, which will support the development of innovative, self-directed, and cost efficient training in pre-service and in-service training in the areas of 1) care, support and treatment among adult and pediatric populations, 2) TB/HIV, 3) HIV Testing and Counseling (HTC), 4) Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) delivered on an integrated Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health (MNCH platform), and 5) Health Systems Strengthening (HSS). The awardee will be expected to build the capacity of the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health (MCDMCH) to independently develop, monitor, and evaluate the provision of these services by the end of year 5 of the cooperative agreement. The second component, Program Area B, is to support the national objective of achieving and sustaining at least 80% prevalence of Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC), through direct service delivery (DSD) and national level technical assistance (TA). The award will support national initiatives, including the Early Infant Male Circumcision (EIMC) implementation, as well as use of surgical devices to increase efficiencies and improve outcomes for VMMC clients in supported regions. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for Children Program (HTPCP). The goal of this program is to promote access to health care for children, youth and their families nationwide, and employ preventive health strategies through innovative community driven programs. This program supports HRSA&amp;apos;s goals to improve access to quality health care and services, to build healthy communities, and to improve health equity. HTPCP funding supports direct service projects, not research projects. HTPCP applications MUST represent either a new initiative (i.e., project that was not previously in existence) within the community or an innovative new component that builds upon an existing community-based program or initiative. HTPCP grants: 1) support the development of community-based initiatives that plan and implement innovative and cost-effective approaches to promote community identified preventive child health and developmental objectives for vulnerable children and their families, especially those with limited access to quality health services; 2) foster/promote collaboration among community organizations, individuals, agencies, businesses, and families; 3) involve pediatricians and other pediatric primary care providers (family physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) in community-based service programs; and 4) build community and statewide partnerships among professionals in health, education, social services, government, including State Title V and Medicaid and CHIP programs, and business to achieve self-sustaining programs. A defining characteristic of HTPCP has been the sustainability of projects post Federal funding. Data indicates that 85% of HTPCP grants in 1998-2005 were partially or fully sustained after Federal funding ended (AAP, 2011). Topical areas of greatest interest for HTPCP funding include the following: early childhood development, school readiness, developmental/behavioral pediatrics, medical home (including enhanced family and youth engagement), care coordination and case management, safe sleep, oral health, mental health, school-based health, and nutrition and physical activities to address overweight/obesity. HTPCP encourages the use of innovative health information technology to increase access to a wide variety of stakeholders in communities. HTPCP also encourages strategies to support outreach and enrollment efforts to assist families to access, understand and use health insurance, including accessing preventive care services. MCHB encourages organizations to develop proposals that incorporate and build upon the goals, objectives, guidelines and materials of the Bright Futures for Infants, Children and Adolescents initiative to improve the quality of health promotion and preventive services in the context of family and community. Complete information about the Bright Futures initiative and downloadable versions of the Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children and Adolescents, Third Edition and other Bright Futures materials, can be found at http://brightfutures.aap.org. Bright Futures has been particularly useful to HTPCP grantees in identifying promising practice models centered on health promotion and prevention and partnering with stakeholders at the state and local levels to share lessons learned from Bright Futures and foster improvements in clinical and public health practice. HTPCP brings innovative services to communities as determined by state and local needs assessments. Projects supported by HTPCP are encouraged to partner with diverse public and private sector stakeholders to test out evidence-based practice at the community level and transform health care from the ground up. Applicants should document the potential to develop and implement new tools and products and the use of social media and other technologies for marketing and outreach. A goal of HTPCP is to build sustainable projects after Federal funding ends that will improve access to care and reduce health care costs. HTPCP investments have generated visible successes. For example, Boston Children&amp;#191;s Hospital created the Community Asthma Initiative (CAI), a comprehensive quality improvement program to provide enhanced care to pediatric asthma patients with a history of hospitalizations or emergency department visits. The program has demonstrated improved health outcomes, increased cost-effectiveness, and reduced health disparities. Hospitalizations for asthma have been dramatically cut, saving $1.46 in hospital care for every $1 spent on prevention. After the first year, asthma-related emergency room visits for children in the program plummeted 68 percent compared with emergency room trips in the year before enrollment, and there was an 85 percent drop in hospitalizations. The program is now being replicated in other states such as Alabama. Over the past 25 years, HTPCP has strengthened its commitment to serving vulnerable and at-risk populations in underserved communities. Fifty-eight percent of former HTPCP grantees reported that there was an enhancement in the cultural/linguistic competence of services in the community as a result of the program (AAP, 2011). In FY 2012, projects served over 33,000 unduplicated women, infants, children and youth, including children and youth with special health needs. In terms of race/ethnicity, nearly 70% of individuals served were from racially/ethnically diverse groups (Data from the MCHB Discretionary Grants Information System, 2014). Individuals served by HTPCP were far more likely to be from racially/ethnically diverse groups than the U.S. population in 2012, where 37% of individuals were from racially/ethnically diverse groups (United States Census Bureau, 2012).</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide opportunities for eligible small business concerns (SBCs) to submit SBIR grant applications to develop serious Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) games with a focus on biology that addresses health and medicine questions for: (1) pre-kindergarten to grade 12 (P-12) students and pre- and in-service teachers (&amp;quot;Teachers&amp;quot;) or (2) Informal Science Education (ISE) audiences. Serious games are defined as the use of gaming technology to train, educate, and encourage behavioral changes in a virtual world format where progressive learning, feedback on success and user control are combined into an interactive and engaging experience. It is anticipated that this SBIR FOA will facilitate the translation of new or existing health and medicine-based, P-12 STEM curricula and museum exhibits into educational games that will provide a hands-on, inquiry-based and learning-by-doing experience for students, Teachers and the community.</Description>

        <Description>Despite the scale up of interventions among People Who Inject Drugs (PWID), HIV prevalence continues to be high in India at 7.1%. Most worrisome is the continued high HIV prevalence in the North Eastern states (NE) of Manipur (12.9%), Mizoram (12.0%) and Meghalaya (6.4%). A qualitative study (2011) carried out to assess gaps in the national PWID program revealed that PWID interventions in India and especially NE states where the epidemic lies are lagging in terms of intensity and coverage of interventions, continued barriers to accessing services, stigma and discrimination, and lack of skills in dealing with PWID among service providers. Another observation by the qualitative study is that most PWIDs have transitioned from non-injecting modes of administration (e.g., smoking or chasing heroin) to injecting (e.g., injecting pharmaceuticals or heroin). Analysis of national program data revealed that Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) coverage in NE states was 12% (planned target 20%) and retention was also low (59%). Similarly, HIV testing coverage was also low (48%) in NE states. There is scant information on the extent of female PWID and the challenges this group faces accessing services. The estimated number of female PWID is 10,000 and they are concentrated in NE states. HIV testing facility data reveals a prevalence of 7-25% among female PWID. Similarly, HIV prevalence has been reported to be high among spouses of PWID (2.5% to 5%). There are also concerns regarding high reported spousal violence among this population (55%). </Description>

        <Description>The overall goal of the Healthy Homes Technical Studies program is to gain knowledge to improve the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of methods for the evaluation and control of housing related health and safety hazards. This also supports HUD&amp;#146;s Strategic Goal to utilize housing as a platform for improving the quality of life and health outcomes for those living in HUD-assisted and HUD-regulated housing, and the associated policy priority to build inclusive and sustainable communities by improving the health of community residents while reducing the impact of communities on the environment. The overall goals and objectives of the Healthy Homes (HH) Program are to: (1) Mobilize public and private resources, involving cooperation among all levels of government, the private sector, grassroots community-based organizations, including faith-based organizations, and other non-profit organizations, to develop and implement the most promising, cost-effective methods for identifying and controlling housing-related hazards; and (2) Build local capacity to operate sustainable programs that will continue to prevent, minimize, and control housing-related hazards in low- and very low-income residences when HUD funding is exhausted. </Description>

        <Description>Since 1970, NIST, as part of its research program, has provided funding under the Precision Measurement Grant Program (PMGP) primarily to universities and colleges so that faculty may conduct significant research in the field of fundamental measurement or the determination of fundamental constants. NIST sponsors these research projects primarily to encourage basic, measurement-related research in universities and colleges and other research laboratories and to foster contacts between NIST scientists and those faculty members of academic institutions and other researchers who are actively engaged in such work. The PMGP is also intended to make it possible for researchers to pursue new ideas for which other sources of support may be difficult to find. There is some latitude in research topics that will be considered under the PMGP. The key requirement is that the proposed project is consistent with NIST&amp;#146;s ongoing work in the field of basic measurement science (http://pml.nist.gov). Abbreviated proposals must be submitted under the PMGP in order to be considered for funding. Details of the submission process for abbreviated proposals are contained in the Full Announcement. Only proposers whose proposals have been selected by NIST as &amp;#147;finalists&amp;#148; and who have been requested by NIST to submit a full proposal are permitted to submit full proposals to NIST for the PMGP. </Description>

        <Description>This program supports the delivery of a wide variety of housing counseling services to homebuyers, homeowners, low- to moderate-income renters, and the homeless. The primary objectives of the program are to improve financial literacy, expand homeownership opportunities, improve access to affordable housing and preserve homeownership. Counselors provide guidance and advice to help families and individuals improve their housing conditions and meet the responsibilities of tenancy and homeownership. Additionally, counselors may provide counseling services to homeowners to prevent or resolve mortgage delinquency, default, and foreclosure, with the primary objective to preserve homeownership. Counselors provide guidance and advice to help families and individuals meet the responsibilities of homeownership and modify or refinance their loans. Counselors also help borrowers avoid inflated appraisals, unreasonably high interest rates, unaffordable repayment terms, and other conditions that can result in a loss of equity, increased debt, default, and eventually foreclosure. Counselors can also assist homeowners with inquiries related to mortgage scams, and reporting instances of potential mortgage scam victimization. Applicants funded through this program may also provide Reverse Mortgage Counseling to senior homeowners who seek to convert equity in their homes into income that can be used to pay for home improvements, medical costs, living expenses, or other expenses. FUNDING: Housing counseling funding is distributed over four applicant categories Local Housing Counseling Agencies $10,250,000, Intermediaries $25,800,000, State Housing Finance Agencies $2,800,000, and Multi-State Organizations $1,200,000. </Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is the mechanism through which the CDC-Rwanda program, under the President&amp;#146;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), will support implementation of evidence-based HIV prevention interventions in key populations. Dynamics and drivers exist among key populations (KPs) in Rwanda, increasing their risk of HIV infection and its transmission to the general population. This component will implement evidence-based HIV prevention interventions in KPs, comprised mainly of female sex workers (FSWs) and men who have sex with men (MSMs). Some of the interventions will target sexual partners of these populations as well. The focus will be on the identification of KPs, provision of a comprehensive package of prevention services, implementation of a Test and Link to Care (TLC) model, initiation of treatment as prevention based upon national guidelines for HIV-positive KPs, adherence counseling, and follow-up of HIV-uninfected KPs. </Description>

        <Description>India is home to the third largest number of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) in the world. There are an estimated 2.09 million people living with HIV. The Government of India (GoI) has undertaken a robust scale up of its antiretroviral treatment (ART) program, starting from eight ART centers in 2004 to over 420 centers now in 2014. Currently, over 750,000 PLWH are on ART out of 1.1 million eligible for treatment. Despite scale up success, several challenges remain for the ART program to achieve the expansion it envisages over the next five years. These include human capacity issues, loss of patients from detection to enrollment in HIV care, and late HIV detection and retention. At every stage, over 200,000 patients are lost from testing to enrollment in care, to retention in care and then to treatment. Although progress has been made in the implementation of the HIV-TB program, there are several gaps that need to be addressed. The linkages between HIV/AIDS and the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) are suboptimal, particularly in northern states due to limited capacity and infrastructure. Only 61% (2014) of TB patients were screened for HIV and knew their HIV status in the last one year. Of those identified as HIV positive, 85% were linked to ART. However, the concern is that the referral from HIV testing and care facilities to RNTCP is quite low. </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) in Cameroon is to reduce HIV-related maternal and child mortality by scaling up high-quality Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) activities and strengthening treatment and care through the PMTCT platform. Specifically, it seeks to expand PMTCT coverage and improve uptake from approximately 34% to 90% in the Littoral and Center Regions of Cameroon, by integrating and scaling up PMTCT services into existing health facilities and promoting community-based PMTCT activities, including rolling out Option B+ following the national plans and guidelines. Cameroon has developed a national roll out plan. The national plan for phased-in Option B+ roll-out would cover 247 sites in the four PEPFAR-supported regions (500 sites nationwide) in 2014, 691 (1,500) sites in 2015, 1,141 (2,500) sites in 2016, and 1,379 (3,000) sites in 2017. Necessary training and site preparedness to roll out B+ would follow the same phase-in approach and would result in training 7,500 providers, including 3,447 at PEPFAR-supported sites. The model of PMTCT/ART service delivery to be implemented requires that HIV-positive pregnant women and mothers and their HIV-exposed or -infected infants receive their care and treatment at the mother-and-child unit until 24 months post-partum and then be referred to HIV care and treatment services for long-term treatment and follow-up (SDM 1). So far, only 22 sites in Cameroon where Option B+ is currently being piloted implement this model. All other sites, pending their enrollment as per the national Option B+ roll-out plan, are still implementing Option A, referring treatment-eligible pregnant women (CD4 &amp;lt; 350/mm3) to ART services to receive ART while continuing their follow-up at the MNCH service (SDM 2). Their HIV-infected children are also referred to the nearest ART site as soon as their HIV diagnosis is confirmed. These sites will switch to SDM1 in line with the B+ roll-out. </Description>

Grant Program Description Art works to improve the lives of America&amp;#146;s citizens in many ways. Communities across our nation are engaging design and leveraging the arts to create livable, sustainable neighborhoods with enhanced quality of life, increased creative activity, distinct identities, a sense of place, and vibrant local economies that capitalize on existing local assets. The NEA defines these efforts as Creative Placemaking: &amp;quot;In creative placemaking, partners from public, private, nonprofit, and community sectors strategically shape the physical and social character of a neighborhood, town, tribe, city, or region around arts and cultural activities. Creative placemaking animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired.&amp;quot; Ann Markusen, Markusen Economic Research Services Anne Gadwa, Metris Arts Consulting From Creative Placemaking </Description>

PARC is a coalition of Federal and State agencies, tribes, organizations, and industry groups who have agreed to contribute to the PARC mission &amp;#191;to conserve amphibians, reptiles, and their habitats as integral parts of our ecosystem and culture through proactive and coordinated public/private partnerships.&amp;#191; The NPS along with ten other federal agencies, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PARC in October of 2011. One objective of PARC is the &amp;#191;development of procedures, practices, and programs that promote conservation of amphibians and reptiles and that reduces risks or averts threats.&amp;#191; The NPS currently funds the Federal Agencies Coordinator for PARC position under its fixed costs and travel cap. The objectives of this agreement are to: &amp;#191; Provide capacity-building training for inventory and monitoring of amphibians and reptiles, habitat management to benefit amphibians and reptiles, and wetland restoration, and to provide e-reader versions of PARC publications. &amp;#191; Improve partnership efforts with adjacent and related protected areas (federal, state, tribal, private, and international) to conserve natural resources and landscapes. Collaborate with ARC to contribute to advancing knowledge and/or increasing practical skills with regard to natural resource management, as well as fostering partnerships and information exchange among governments, agencies, and nongovernmental organizations. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Administer NPS funds to implement training in inventory and monitoring of amphibians and reptiles, habitat management to benefit amphibians and reptiles, and wetland restoration, as well as development of e-reader versions of some PARC publications. 2. Ensure proper planning, management and completion of the projects detailed in this agreement via ARC&amp;#191;s institutional, managerial, and financial capabilities. 3. Find and hire trainers appropriate for PARC training in habitat management to benefit amphibians and reptiles, inventory and monitoring of amphibians and reptiles, or wetland restoration, and will select locations for these training activities. 4. Coordinate and implement attendance opportunities for the federal agencies who are part of PARC&amp;#191;s Federal Agency Steering Committee (US Fish and Wildlife Service, NPS, US Forest Service, US Geological Survey, Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense, Environmental Protection Agency, Farm Service Agency, National Marine Fisheries Service, Natural Resource Conservation Service) and ensure a set number of seats for federal employees. 5. Ensure that e-reader or PDF versions will be made free to federal employees (e.g., via a special code) indefinitely. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Work cooperatively (via the Federal Agency Coordinator for PARC, who is part of the Wildlife Conservation Branch of the Biological Resources Management Division) with ARC at the national, regional, and local levels to accomplish the objectives (See Article I) of this agreement. 2. Make available to ARC any suggestions from PARC&amp;#191;s Federal Agency Steering Committee. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This is a Task Agreement (P14AC01611) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC01454) in the amount of $25,000.00 with a period of performance from date of award until 09/30/2015.

        <Description>Although cultures vary across the thousands of miles comprising North and South America, countries within the western hemisphere are constantly connected by sea and air creatures alike as they trek their journeys across hundreds of miles of water and terrain. From the Arctic to Antarctica, migratory species are vital ecological and economic resources shared by the nations and inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere. They are sources of food, means of livelihood and recreation, and they have important biological, cultural, and economic values for society. Despite their great value, many migratory species are endangered in the Western Hemisphere due to overexploitation, water pollution, the alteration and destruction of their breeding and wintering habitats, illegal trade, use of pesticides and, more recently, climate change. Since migratory species do not recognize borders, the conservation of these species and their habitats and migration routes can only be achieved through joint efforts of the Western Hemispheres nations. No single local organization can take on the entire responsibility of ensuring the protection and conservation of these migratory species homes, homes-away-from-homes, and everything in between, wildlife agency directors and other senior officials created the Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative (WHMSI) to facilitate international cooperation. WHMSI is a regular forum for the conservation of migratory wildlife in the hemisphere. This is a notice of intent to award a grant to The Organization of American States (OAS). This grant is being awarded without competition under 505 DM2(4), unique qualifications - The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based on a variety of demonstrable factors such as location; property ownership; voluntary support capacity; cost-sharing ability, if applicable; technical expertise; or other such unique qualifications. Competition for this award is not pratical because OAS is the depository for the western hemisphere convention as stated under current bylaws, and is the mechanism of implementation under which WHMSI operates. As a result, they are uniquely qualified to provide the strategic framework and management duties for WHMSI.</Description>

Eligibility also depends on the statutory authority that permits NOAA to fund the proposed activity. Refer to the CFDA in order to determine an applicant&amp;apos;s eligibility.     If the applicant is a university that has a NOAA Joint or Cooperative   Institute (CI), the institution is encouraged to submit an application that   will be associated with the CI. The application must specify the name of the   CI, its most recent award number, and the NOAA-approved research theme   applicable to the work to be performed in the project narrative. The   application will use the facilities and administrative rate (F&amp;amp;A or Indirect   cost rate) associated with most recent CI award.    If the application is selected for funding, NOAA will notify the university   that a separate competitive award will be issued with its own award number.  However, the competitive award will include a Special Award Condition (SAC)   that evidences the link between it and the CI award. The SAC will provide  (1) that the university has submitted the proposal to be associated with the   CI; (2) that any existing University/NOAA MOA will be incorporated by   reference into the terms of the competitive award, and (3) that any progress  report(s) for the competitive award must follow the timetable of and be   submitted by the CI directly to the funding program.

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages Research Education (R25) grant applications from applicant organizations that propose to create educational opportunities for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows in areas of biomedical or behavioral research of particular interest to the NIDDK, while fostering the career development of these students and fellows. The structure of the educational opportunity can include an intensive summer research program, a curriculum-based program or a combination of both experiences. The NIDDK is especially interested in attracting students and postdoctoral fellows from scientific disciplines underrepresented in disease-oriented biomedical research, such as engineering, informatics, computer science, and computational sciences, to encourage them to apply their expertise to research relevant to diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases; digestive and liver diseases; nutrition; obesity research and prevention; and kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases.</Description>

        <Description>The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) executes the Department of Defense (DoD) Procurement Technical Assistance Program by awarding cost sharing cooperative agreements to assist states, local governments, private nonprofit organizations, tribal organizations and economic enterprises in establishing or maintaining procurement technical assistance centers (PTACs) pursuant to Chapter 142 of title 10, United States Code. The Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCAA) issued July 7, 2010 is amended to allow acceptance of applications for new programs in fiscal year (FY) 2012. For FY 2012, new applications will only be considered from entities proposing to provide service to an area that will not be covered by an existing program. Applications proposing to duplicate any portion of the service area of an existing program will neither be accepted nor considered. Amendment No. 004 is not applicable to existing programs that have already received a base period award in FY 2011 under the amended solicitation. As of the issue date of Amendment No. 004, significant areas not covered or expected to become uncovered in FY 2012 include, but may not be limited to, the States of Washington, North Dakota and Rhode Island, and Washington DC. There are also uncovered regional areas (i.e., counties), but those areas have not been listed. Any entity contemplating submitting an application under this amendment, including those that propose to service an area identified, must first submit the inquiry discussed in Amendment No. 004 to ascertain if the proposed area is covered. Funding of new programs for FY 2012 is contingent on the availability of funds. In addition, awards may not be made to all acceptable applicants. Award decisions will optimize the use of program funds while at the same time maximizing the availability of procurement technical assistance. DLA will make funding decisions on a case-by-case basis and in the best interest of the overall program. An award decision for any application submitted pursuant to this amendment will be made prior to October 1, 2012. The SCAA issued on July 7, 1010 and Amendment Nos. 001 - 004 are available at http://www.dla.mil/SmallBusiness/Pages/SCAA.aspx. Additional details regarding this opportunity are provided in Amendment No. 004. Printed copies are not available for distribution. Applications must be submitted to DLA by 5 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on January 31, 2012. Notwithstanding any other provision in the SCAA or in previous Amendments, late applications will be neither accepted nor evaluated. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) formula grant program, established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), to continue the delivery of voluntary early childhood home visiting program services in response to a statewide needs assessment. This program is being undertaken as part of the shared commitment of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to comprehensive family services, coordinated and comprehensive voluntary statewide home visiting programs, and effective implementation of high-quality evidence-based practices. The MIECHV formula grant program is designed to: (1) strengthen and improve the programs and activities carried out under Title V of the Social Security Act; (2) improve coordination of services for at-risk communities; and (3) identify and provide comprehensive services to improve outcomes for families who reside in at-risk communities. The statute reserves the majority of funding for the delivery of services through use of one or more evidence-based home visiting service delivery models. In addition, it supports continued innovation by allowing up to 25 percent of funding paid to the entity for a fiscal year to be used for service delivery through promising approaches that do not yet qualify as evidence-based models. Note: To ensure that the required statutory distribution is maintained, HRSA requires that all MIECHV programs demonstrate that they are being delivered in conformity with the approved service delivery models. This fidelity is demonstrated by programs that have the requisite designation and/or approval from a model developer to provide evidence-based home visiting services. MIECHV-funded programs must maintain the requisite designation and/or approval from the model developer while receiving MIECHV funding. Since the inception of the MIECHV program, states have been required to ensure substantial involvement in the project planning, implementation, and evaluation by representatives of the agencies listed below: &amp;#183; Director of the state&amp;#191;s Title V agency; &amp;#183; Director of the state&amp;#191;s agency for Title II of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA); &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s child welfare agency (Title IV-E and IV-B), if this agency is not also administering Title II of CAPTA; &amp;#183; Director of the state&amp;#191;s Single State Agency for Substance Abuse Services; &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Administrator; &amp;#183; Director of the state&amp;#191;s Head Start State Collaboration Office; and &amp;#183; The State Advisory Council on Early Childhood Education and Care authorized by 642B(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Head Start Act. To ensure that home visiting is part of a continuum of early childhood services, HRSA and ACF also strongly urge states to seek consensus from: &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part C and Part B Section 619 lead agency(ies); &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title I or state pre-kindergarten program; and &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Medicaid/Children&amp;#191;s Health Insurance program (or the person responsible for Medicaid Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) Program). The state is encouraged to coordinate this application to the extent possible with: &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Domestic Violence Coalition; &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Mental Health agency; &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Public Health agency, if this agency is not also administering the state&amp;#191;s Title V program; &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s identified agency charged with crime reduction; &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families agency; &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program agency; and &amp;#183; The state&amp;#191;s Injury Prevention and Control (Public Health Injury Surveillance and Prevention) program (if applicable). ACA Outreach and enrollment activities are tied to benchmarks 1, 5, and 6 (see http://mchb.hrsa.gov/programs/homevisiting/ta/resources/guidanceoct2012.pdf). To support their accomplishment of these benchmarks, MIECHV programs should assist families in enrolling in expanded health insurance coverage, using clinical preventive services and accessing primary health care, and providing information to families regarding the ACA consumer protections. Working closely with Title V MCH Directors and State Medicaid Directors, MIECHV State Project Directors should ensure that Home Visitors have the state-specific information necessary to connect individuals with Navigators (Federally-facilitated Marketplace) or Non-Navigator Assistance Personnel (State based Marketplace or State Partnership Marketplace) and Certified Application Counselors. These Navigators and Non-Navigator assistance personnel play a vital role in helping consumers prepare electronic and paper applications in order to establish eligibility. This includes steps to help the individual find out if they qualify for insurance affordability programs such as premium tax credits, cost sharing reductions, Medicaid, or CHIP. Certified Application Counselors will provide many of the same tasks as Navigators and Non-Navigator assistance personnel, including educating consumers and helping them complete an application for coverage.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this announcement is to solicit applications for the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Competitive Grant program. Competitive Grants provide funds to eligible entities that are states and certain territories that continue to make significant progress under the MIECHV program towards implementing a high-quality home visiting program as part of a comprehensive, high-quality early childhood system and are ready and able to take effective programs to scale to address unmet need.[1] Grantees will use the funds to provide ongoing support to high-quality evidence-based home visiting programs and for the incremental expansion of evidence-based home visiting programs funded, in whole or in part, by the MIECHV program to achieve greater enrollment and retention of families eligible for home visiting. Additionally, this funding opportunity will continue the program&amp;#191;s emphasis on rigorous research by grounding the proposed work in relevant empirical literature and by including requirements to evaluate work proposed under this grant. Priority for Serving High-Risk Populations and Programmatic Areas of Emphasis As directed in the authorizing legislation,[2] successful applicants will give priority to providing services under the MIECHV program to the following populations: a) Eligible families who reside in communities in need of such services, as identified in the statewide needs assessment required under subsection 511(b)(1)(A). b) Low-income eligible families. c) Eligible families who are pregnant women who have not attained age 21. d) Eligible families that have a history of child abuse or neglect or have had interactions with child welfare services. e) Eligible families that have a history of substance abuse or need substance abuse treatment. f) Eligible families that have users of tobacco products in the home. g) Eligible families that are or have children with low student achievement. h) Eligible families with children with developmental delays or disabilities. i) Eligible families who, or that include individuals who, are serving or formerly served in the Armed Forces, including such families that have members of the Armed Forces who have had multiple deployments outside of the United States.&amp;#191; All applications should address increasing capacity, enrollment, and retention in high-risk communities identified in the statewide needs assessment, including those currently served through state or Federal home visiting programs. For this purpose, the following programmatic areas of emphasis have been identified. Applicants should address one or more of these areas in response to this funding opportunity announcement: &amp;#183; Emphasis 1: Improvements in maternal, child, and family health &amp;#183; Emphasis 2: Effective expansion of evidence-based home visiting programs or systems, with fidelity to the evidence-based model selected &amp;#183; Emphasis 3: Development of statewide or multi-state home visiting program innovations that effectively increase enrollment and retention &amp;#183; Emphasis 4: Development of comprehensive early childhood systems that span the prenatal-through-age-five continuum &amp;#183; Emphasis 5: Outreach to high-risk and hard-to-engage populations &amp;#183; Emphasis 6: Development of a family-centered approach to home visiting &amp;#183; Emphasis 7: Outreach to families in rural or frontier areas &amp;#183; Emphasis 8: The development of fiscal leveraging strategies to enhance program sustainability Note: Fidelity is defined as a grantee&amp;#191;s adherence to model developer requirements for implementation. These requirements include all aspects of initiating and implementing a home visiting model, including, but not limited to: recruiting and retaining clients, providing initial and ongoing training, supervision, and professional development for staff, establishing a management information system to track data related to fidelity and services, and establishing an integrated resource and referral network to support client needs. Changes to an evidence-based model that alter the components related to program outcomes could undermine the program&amp;#191;s effectiveness. Such changes (otherwise known as &amp;#191;drift&amp;#191;) will not be allowed under the funding allocated for evidence-based models. Adaptations that alter the core components related to program impacts may be funded with funds available for promising approaches if the state wishes to implement the program as a promising approach instead of as an acceptable adaptation of an evidence-based model. Per the authorizing legislation, grantees may expend not more than 25 percent of the amount of the grant awarded to an entity for a fiscal year for purposes of conducting a program using a service delivery model that qualifies as a promising approach; therefore, the majority of grant funds awarded for a fiscal year (i.e., formula and competitive funds combined) must be used to conduct activities that apply evidence-based home visiting models. For a more detailed description of each area of emphasis, please see Appendix A: MIECHV Programmatic Emphasis Areas. [1] The intention here is to maintain or incrementally expand existing home visiting programs which have proven to be effective, to eligible families or communities.

        <Description>NPS, working with government agencies, universities, and private not-for-profit organizations, has designed a process and developed protocols for monitoring long-term ecological integrity of national park ecosystems in the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) of national parks of the Pacific Northwest. The NCCN consists of three large natural area parks (Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks) and four smaller cultural and historical parks (Ebey&amp;#146;s Landing National Historical Reserve, Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, and San Juan Island National Historical Park) in western Washington and Oregon. Breeding populations of landbirds have been identified as an important indicator of changes in ecological condition of these park units, and have been selected for long-term monitoring. This action originally announced on Grants.gov as P14AS00079 and is herein modified. The Institute of Bird Populations (IBP) has a lengthy history of working with the National Park Service to inventory avifauna in park units throughout the country. In 2000, the Institute began working directly with NCCN parks, first, by working with North Cascades National Park to summarize recommendations of an expert panel for developing a spatially extensive inventory and monitoring program in North Cascades National Park (Siegel and Kuntz, 2000). Subsequently, the NCCN adapted those recommendations and established a cooperative agreement with the Institute to conduct large-scale avian inventories in North Cascades, Olympic, Mount Rainier, and San Juan Islands. The Institute completed fieldwork for these avian inventories in 2004 (Siegel et al. 2002, 2004a, 2004b, 2005a, 2005b). Consequently, the Institute has become the leading expert in conducting avian inventories and monitoring programs in national parks of the NCCN. In October 2003, the Institute entered into a 3-year cooperative agreement with US Geological Survey to help the NCCN develop a Landbird Monitoring Plan that included a peer-reviewed monitoring protocol and a manual of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). A draft protocol and SOPs were written and peer-reviewed in summer/fall of 2006. Implementing this protocol enabled NCCN parks to track and understand how avian communities and their habitats respond to natural processes, to distinguish differences between human-induced disturbance effects and those caused by natural processes, to provide early detection of environmental impairment, and to provide park managers with comprehensive, scientifically-based information about the nature and status of selected biological resources occurring within park boundaries in a form that increases its accessibility and utility for making management decisions, for scientific research, and for educating the public. The National Park Service will award this task to the Institute of Bird Population based on the following exception - Unique Qualifications - IBP is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon demonstrated factors, specifically, location, technical expertise, and other unique qualifications as outlined in this document. The National Park Service, North Cascades National Park, intends to award a Modification to Task Agreement (TA) P14AC01123 to provide for additional avian studies in fiscal year 2015 based upon this announcement and the receipt of additional funding after the original Task Order was awarded in April 2014. Presently, a five year Cooperative Agreement is in place for avian monitoring and related services, this TA is to fund the following: Pre-season planning for monitoring in FY 15. Revise Landbird protocol methods and SOPs based on recommendations in the published the synthesis report. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites new research project applications to participate in the NIDDK (Re)Building a Kidney Consortium. The projects will be part of a research network focused on the expansion of tools, resources, and knowledge that will guide studies on the in vivo regeneration of functional nephrons or in vitro generation of nephrons for kidney transplant. Funds will be made available through the UH2/UH3 cooperative agreement award mechanism. The initial UH2 phase will support milestone-driven projects that will inform strategies for the enhancement of endogenous regenerative repair processes and generation of cell types important for the development of functional nephrons. UH2 projects that have met their scientific milestones will be eligible for transition to the second UH3 phase after NIH administrative review. The UH3 award is to provide a second phase for the support for innovative exploratory and development research activities initiated under the UH2 mechanism. UH3 phase will support milestone-driven projects. It is anticipated that relevant projects will be integrated as appropriate to further synergistic interactions and collaborations. </Description>

        <Description>The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals that use cost-effective methods to digitize nationally significant historical record collections and make the digital versions freely available online. Projects must make use of existing holdings of historical repositories and consist of entire collections or series. The materials should already be available to the public at the archives and described so that projects can re-use existing information to serve as metadata for the digitized collection. To make these projects as widely useful as possible for archives, historical repositories, and researchers, the applications must demonstrate: 1. The national significance of the collections or records series to be digitized; 2. An effective work flow that repurposes existing descriptive material, rather than creating new metadata about the records; 3. Reasonable costs and standards for the project as well as sustainable preservation plans for the resulting digital records; 4. Well-designed plans that evaluate the use of the digitized materials and the effectiveness of the methods employed in digitizing and displaying the materials. Projects may not use grant funds to create * descriptive metadata or * edited transcriptions of the digitized materials or * develop websites where people will have to pay a fee to view the images. For a comprehensive list of Commission limitations on funding, please see &amp;#147;What we do and do not fund&amp;#148; (http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/apply/eligibility.html). A grant normally is for one to three years and up to $150,000. The Commission expects to make up to 8 grants in this category, for a total of up to $700,000. The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all products that result from its support. Eligible applicants: * Nonprofit organizations or institutions * Colleges, universities, and other academic institutions * State or local government agencies * Federally-acknowledged or state-recognized Native American tribes or groups Applicant organizations must be registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR) prior to submitting an application, maintain CCR registration throughout the application and award process, and include a valid DUNS number in their application. Details on CCR registration and requesting a DUNS number can be found at the Central Contractor Registration website. Ineligible applications will not be considered. Cost sharing is required. It is the financial contribution the applicant pledges to the cost of a project. Cost sharing can include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. The NHPRC will provide up to 50 percent of the total project costs. </Description>

        <Description>Human resources (HR) are an essential component of Zimbabwe&amp;#146;s health system, and are therefore critical for an effective response to the HIV epidemic. Still recovering from the effects of the political crisis in the first decade of the 21st century, the country&amp;#146;s health institutions are understaffed and the workforce overburdened. Efficient information systems can provide knowledge to equitably distribute scarce human resources. This includes both applications to manage information about the health sector workforce and means to electronically share information across systems. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will build on past and current CDC-supported activities at the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MOHCC) and the Health Professional Regulatory Bodies. Original funding started in Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 with Emory University and a local information technology (IT) company recording business process requirements and software design. In October 2011, Health Informatics Training and Research Advancement Centre (HITRAC), a unit within the University of Zimbabwe, took over and developed a new human resources information system (HRIS) that since April 2013 has been successfully deployed to all 8 provincial MOHCC human resources (HR) departments, 2 central hospitals, and the MOHCC head office. New systems have also been developed and deployed for the Nursing Council of Zimbabwe (NCZ), Medical Dental Physician Council of Zimbabwe (MDPCZ), and Medical Laboratory and Clinical Scientists Council of Zimbabwe (MLSCZ), with appropriate staff trained by HITRAC, and strong engagement from all the stakeholders. Deployment to the other four central hospitals and four Regulatory Councils was scheduled for later in 2013. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to provide technical assistance (TA) to the Government of Kenya (GOK) and implementing partners in strengthening their capacity to design and implement systems to collect, analyze, interpret and disseminate high quality HIV data. To achieve this, the awardee(s) will complete activities under the following program areas: Program Area A &amp;#150; Surveillance and Epidemiology: Support the GOK and its partners in strengthening their capacity to design, implement, analyze, disseminate, and use data from epidemiologic studies to adequately and accurately measure outcomes and impact, while informing decision making and policy in the national and sub-national HIV response. Epidemiologic studies will include surveillance, surveys, operations research/implementation science and public health impact evaluations. Program Area B &amp;#150; Monitoring and Evaluation: Strengthen the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&amp;amp;E) capacity of health workers in program data collection, analysis and reporting as well as cohort analysis and program evaluation. The support will also include review, revision and roll out of M&amp;amp;E framework, tools, policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs), M&amp;amp;E coordination and collaboration at national and sub-national levels and support strengthening quality of HIV data through training and mentorship. Program Area C &amp;#150; mHealth: The third component will entail supporting the GOK units such as the National AIDS and STI Control Program (NASCOP), National Public Health Laboratory Services (NPHLS) and Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) in mobile technology innovations (mHealth) projects that leverage mobile technologies to enhance efficiencies in the delivery of prevention, care and treatment of HIV. PEPFAR resources have been used previously to support mHealth activities such SMS-based transmission of Early Infant Diagnosis (EID), health commodities management, adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and Peer Education at the Pump Project (PEPP), tracking of key populations, blood donor data management, remote data collection for surveys and mLearning. The awardee of the mHealth component of this FOA is expected to build on the existing achievements and scale up the scope of application through innovative solutions that will also complement facility-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems by providing mobility to health care workers and provide solutions in transmitting secured patient level records from community and facilities to national and sub-national levels. The awardee will ensure sustainable capacity building for the GOK staff through the provision of training and mentorship in mHealth systems development, management, use, and maintenance.Evaluations will be conducted through-out the award period to show evidence of the achievement of short and long term goals of each of the three components of this funding opportunity announcement.</Description>

        <Description>The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to publish historical records of national significance. Projects may focus on the papers of major figures from American life or cover broad historical movements in politics, military, business, social reform, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience. The historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project.Grants are awarded for collecting, describing, preserving, compiling, editing, and publishing documentary source materials. Because of the focus on documentary sources, grants do not support preparation of critical editions of published works unless such works are just a small portion of the larger project.All applicants should be aware that the application process is highly competitive. A top priority of the Commission is to support projects with plans to provide free online access to the editions they are preparing.A publishing project that has received NHPRC support can apply for a grant for a new or subsequent stage of that project. Such projects may plan editions on print, microfilm, or other media. In any case, they must present plans for online publication of their editions, including methods of providing free access. These plans need not include provision for the retrospective conversion of material already published. Applicants that have received NHPRC grants in the past must demonstrate that their ongoing projects have successfully achieved the performance objectives associated with previous NHPRC awards. Proposals must be substantially updated, including a description of the new activities, progress towards preparing online editions, and a justification of the new budget. Applicants not previously funded may apply for a grant to begin a historical documents publishing project. These applications are considered with other proposals. Although they may publish in other media, the initial focus of these projects must be on the preparation of online editions.The NHPRC does not fund proposals to purchase historical records; nor does it fund proposals to publish the papers of anyone who has been deceased for fewer than ten years. For a comprehensive list of Commission&amp;apos;s limitations on funding, please see What We Do and Do Not FundApplicants may apply for funding for up to three years, but should be aware that the Commission normally awards grants on an annual basis; subsequent funding is conditioned on project&amp;#146;s previous years&amp;apos; performance. Award amounts ordinarily range from $20,000 to $250,000 annually. Depending on the availability of funding, the Commission expects to make as many as 30 grants in this category, for a total of up to $2,500,000.In accordance with Federal regulations, the Commission reserves, for Federal Government purposes, a royalty-free, non-exclusive, and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use the work and authorize others to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use the work that results from each grant. The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all publications and other products that result from its support. Eligible applicants: * United States nonprofit organizations or institutions * Colleges, universities, and other academic institutions * State or local government agencies * Federally-acknowledged or state-recognized Native American tribes or groups Applicant organizations must be registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR) prior to submitting an application, maintain CCR registration throughout the application and award process, and include a valid DUNS number in their application. Details on CCR registration and requesting a DUNS number can be found at the Central Contractor Registration website. Ineligible applications will not be considered.Cost sharing is required. Cost sharing is the financial contribution the applicant pledges to the cost of a project. Cost sharing can include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. The Commission ordinarily provides no more than 50 per cent of total project costs for Publishing Historical Records projects.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Demonstration Pre-Development Grant program is to assist Sponsors of projects that receive Fund Reservation Awards pursuant to the FY 2010 NOFA for the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program, as amended to include FY 2011 appropriations, by providing pre-development grant funding for architectural and engineering work, site control, and other planning related expenses that are eligible for funding under the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program. Subsequent to providing pre-development grant funding to the selected applicants, HUD will assess the impact of the availability of such funding on the ability of project Sponsors to expedite the development processing of projects from Section 202 Fund Reservation to Initial Closing within 18 months. HUD is aware of the complexities of developing Section 202 projects and understands that a lack of pre-development funding may be a contributing factor in many instances where project Sponsors are not able to move their approved projects from Fund Reservation award to Initial Closing within the required 18-month time frame. Funding under this program is not intended to duplicate Section 202 Capital Advance funding, but rather to provide a source of funding for pre-development costs that would otherwise not be reimbursable until Initial Closing or would be payable from eligible funding resources secured outside of Section 202 Capital Advance funding. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#191;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P14AS00335 Project Title Tobin Harbor National Register Nomination Recipient Organization of American Historians Principle Investigator / Program Manager Aidan Smith Total Anticipated Award Amount $29.492.50 Cost Share none New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement H2261100002 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 12/15/2015 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 12/15/2015 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1(g) CFDA # and Title 15,946 Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number H2261100002 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Organization of American Historians (OAH) for the purpose of promoting the greater public and private understanding of American history for their mutual benefit and for the people of the United States as well as for future generations, so that they can enjoy the historic resources of the NPS. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. The objective of this task agreement is to document, to National Register of Historic Places standards, the Tobin Harbor Historic District at Isle Royale National Park in Michigan as described in the National Park Service 2011 Cultural Landscape Inventory (CLI) and to complete National Register Documentation for this historic district. This National Register evaluation of Tobin Harbor will provide a regional comparative analysis of similar water-borne property types&amp;#191;remote North Woods/Great Lakes family seasonal resorts/camps on large bodies of water&amp;#191;and nominate the Tobin Harbor district at a regional level of significance if justified by the regional analysis. This project assists in the promotion, facilitation, and improvement of people&amp;#191;s understanding of the historic properties associated with the modern, recreation history in the United States of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It will demonstrate the regional historic context of a national pattern of recreation and will consider the ability of modest vernacular historic properties to demonstrate this regional manifestation of the national story. The information, products and/or services identified or developed by this project will potentially be shared by associated partners of the national park through a variety of strategies to increase public awareness, knowledge and support for historic preservation and stewardship of the Tobin Harbor Historic District and its level of significance within the western North Woods and Great Lakes region. Tobin Harbor is a small resort community composed of twelve private camps and a fishery scattered on several islands at the northeast end of the Isle Royale archipelago in Lake Superior. The total number of camps declined over the years, and the National Park Service removed a number after the establishment of the park. Many of the remaining Tobin Harbor camps retain their original outbuildings and other associated structures. Although additions and repairs have been made over the decades, many of the properties retain a high degree of integrity. The CLI identified a period of significance for the resort community as 1900 &amp;#191; 1939, when Tobin Harbor was a vital summer community during the height of Isle Royale&amp;apos;s tourism industry and identified a local level of significance. The Tobin Harbor community evolved over time as friends, families, and others who enjoyed the rugged beauty of Isle Royale purchased property and made it their summer home. During the hey-day of the Tobin Harbor development, the Minong Lodge resort was the &amp;quot;community center&amp;quot; of the Tobin Harbor district. The rustic vernacular landscape maintains circulation, cluster patterns and historic structures through the retention of cabins, docks, outbuildings, circulation and cluster patterns, and views. Collectively, these properties comprise a historic district that retains high integrity, and express a continuum of use that began during the early 20th century. Although many of the seasonal residents no longer return, a number of camps are still used by life lease holders and their families during the summer. Several of the Tobin Harbor camps represent the families that strongly supported and advocated the Isle Royale National Park movement, and formed the Isle Royale Protective Association in the early 1930s. Involved supporters included the Merritt, Connolly, Siefert, Smith, and the Edwards families, among many others. The National Park Service and the Michigan State Historic Preservation Officers concurred that the Tobin Harbor Historic District historic landscape as defined in the CLI is eligible to the National Register, and the NPS manages this resource as a historic property. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Work with NPS to identify a researcher to prepare a NR nomination of Tobin Harbor Historic District in Isle Royale National Park, Michigan. A CLI dated 2011 prepared by the NPS, Midwest Regional Office, defines a boundary, period of significance, and a local level of significance and can be used as the foundation of the NR nomination. The nomination shall be submitted according to the format outlined in the National Register Bulletin, How to Prepare the National Registration Form (available at: http://www.nps.gov/nr/publications/bulletins/nrb16a/) and prepared on a &amp;#191;National Register of Historic Places Registration Form&amp;#191; Form 10-900. 2. Work with NPS to arrange a post award meeting with OAH, NPS, researcher, and others to discuss technical aspects of the agreement and to confirm the schedule for the submission of the products in conjunction with a public meeting to introduce the project historian(s) to members of the community. 3. Work with NPS to prepare the nomination per the attached Statement of Work. 4. Work with NPS to identify appropriate peer reviewer(s) and obtain external review. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Make available to the OAH existing CLI/List of Classified Structures reports and all resources and studies related to the Tobin Harbor Historic District at Isle Royal. This includes a Map of Isle Royale NP with an insert of the Tobin Harbor recreation camps. 2. Provide transportation and logistical assistance for site visits to Tobin Harbor and the historic resources associated with the NR nomination. 3. Provide a NPS technical representative who will serve as the liaison for this task agreement between the NPS and OAH. 4. Provide timely review of the draft and final products. This includes coordinating the draft review with the Michigan State Historic Preservation Officer and with the Isle Royale Friends and Family Association. 5. Ensure that the NR eligibility criteria are fully addressed. 6. Consult with the OAH in determining the appropriate qualifications, experiences, and skills required in the primary field project historian(s). 7. Act as a liaison to the Isle Royale Friends and Family Association. 8. Provide research assistance for materials available at the Midwest Region Office of the NPS. 9. Arrange a post award meeting to discuss technical aspects of the agreement and to confirm the schedule for the submission of the products in conjunction with a public meeting to introduce the project historian(s) to members of the community. The meeting shall take place in Illinois within 30 days of the award. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable.

        <Description>Synopsis of WPSP call for research proposals: The Women in Public Service Project (WPSP) aims to build a generation of women leaders who will invest in their countries and communities, provide leadership in governments, and change the way global solutions are forged. Evidence based research is one key to improving policy decisions in order to increase the presence of women in public service. The first funded research component of WPSP will provide grants for research within a total amount of 60,000 dollars. This research is intended to be used for practical applications: informing policy makers and providing input for the design of effective programs to attract, retain and advance women in public service. Applications will only be accepted from international teams that include a member from at least one ESF eligible country (see list at end of announcement.) That is, the research proposals must involve researchers in a minimum of two countries. Interdisciplinary applications are encouraged. Background on WPSP: On March 11, 2011, Secretary Clinton announced the establishment of the Women in Public Service Project (WPSP). Founded through a partnership between the Department of State and the Seven Sisters women?s colleges, WPSP creates training, mentoring and networking opportunities for aspiring women leaders. The partnership is also growing to include other academic institutions, individuals, and related organizations worldwide. As a first call to action, the State Department and the founding colleges partnered to host a Colloquium on December 15, 2011 at the Department of State, convening policy makers, public officials, academic experts, and innovative thinkers to: form a global network of women in public service; draw attention to the need to train and uplift a new generation of female political leaders; and advance partnerships, including an annual summer institute on public service and political leadership for young women. Background on the research component of WPSP: Solid, evidence-based research is one key to building support for the increased participation of women in public service and more broadly for women in political leadership. Yet there is currently a shortage of such research including research based on rigorous statistical analysis in this field. Therefore, as a further step, the State Department is now calling for research proposals and will fund a total of $60,000 of research projects related to Women in Public Service. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: the impact of women?s participation in public service; obstacles that prevent women from rising in public service and the effectiveness of various means to address these obstacles; measuring the success of various means for attracting young women to participate in public service; identifying keys to retention and advancement of women in public service. For example, more research is needed on the impact of women?s participation in public service, ie what happens in the process of government and governance when women participate, and what happens when they do not participate in government and governance? This research is intended to be used for practical purposes in providing evidence to policy makers, and designing programs that work to attract, retain and advance women in public service. Information about how the research will be shared ? including social media plans and linking to the new Women in Public Service Project Website (http://womeninpublicservice.org) ? should be included in the proposal. Details for proposal submission: Program Officer: Lora Berg, BergLJ@state.gov 202-736-7884 Eligibility requirements: a track record of successfully completed, peer evaluated research is required. Proposals should include the following information: Names and institutions of the researchers Project description (this section should include a description of the research plan, the investigators? professional vision for the project, possible project outcomes and intended audiences) Timeline Biographical sketches (not to exceed two pages each). Include biographical sketches for the researchers. Budget: the maximum award size sought, including direct and indirect costs. Cost sharing is encouraged, and if cost-sharing is envisioned, partners should be introduced here Project evaluation: All projects must have a brief evaluation plan. Proposals should be submitted via grants.gov Before using grants.gov for the first time, each organization/researcher must register to create a profile. Once registered, the applicant?s organization can then apply for any federal grant on the grants.gov website. The grants.gov?s grant community user guide is a comprehensive reference document that provides technical information about grants.gov Once all documents have been complete, the authorized organizational representative (AOR) must submit the application to grants.gov and verify the desired funding opportunity to which the application is submitted. The AOR must then sign and submit the application to grants.gov. Merit review: Proposals will be vetted by an ad hoc panel of at least five qualified individuals drawn from the Department of State, non-competing academic institutions and NGOs with proven interest in promoting women in public service. The program officer assigned to manage the proposal?s review will consider the advice of reviewers and formulate a recommendation; final decisions will be made at the Special Representative level within the Department of State. The panel will ask the following questions: 1) What is the intellectual merit of the proposed research? (How important is the proposed research to advancing knowledge and understanding of women in public service? How well qualified is the proposed team to conduct the project? To what extent does the proposed research suggest and explore creative, original or potentially transformative concepts? How well conceived, realistic and organized is the proposed research? Is there sufficient access to resources?) 2) What are the broader impacts of the proposed research? (How well does this research advance discovery and understanding of women in public service while promoting progress in areas such as teaching, training, and learning? How well does the proposed activity broaden the participation of underrepresented groups not only in terms of gender but also ethnicity, disability, faith, geographic diversity, etc? Is there a mentoring aspect to the work ? ie will graduate students or others be drawn into the project? To what extent might the research enhance networks and partnerships? Will the results be disseminated broadly enough to enhance not only scientific understanding but also public policy and institutional decisions? What may be the benefits of the proposed research to society?

        <Description>The intent of the Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be small- to large-scale projects, at different stages of idea and research development. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement. Funding Levels 1 and 2 are available under a different Program Announcement (W81XWH-14-BCRP-BREAKTHROUGH2_FL12). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed. The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level: &amp;#149; Funding Level 3: Advanced translational studies that have potential for near-term clinical investigation. Small-scale clinical trials may apply. &amp;#149; Funding Level 4: Large-scale projects that will transform and revolutionize the clinical management and/or prevention of breast cancer. Near-term clinical impact is expected. PIs are expected to have experience in successfully leading large-scale projects. Note: An invited oral presentation to the BCRP Integration Panel (IP) is a requirement for application review of Funding Level 4 projects, as described in Section II.C., Application Submission Content and Forms. Partnering PI Option: The Breakthrough Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate two PIs, called the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI, each of whom will each receive a separate award. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work (SOW), and other required components. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each PI is expected to bring distinct contributions to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the PIs to describe how their combined expertise will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts. To meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option, applicants are discouraged from submitting as a Partnering PI on multiple applications unless they are clearly addressing distinct research questions.</Description>

        <Description>The intent of the Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be small- to large-scale projects, at different stages of idea and research development. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Funding Levels 3 and 4 are available under a different Program Announcement (W81XWH-14-BCRP-BREAKTHROUGH2_FL34). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed. The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level: &amp;#149; Funding Level 1: Innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that is in the earliest stages of idea development. Research with potential to yield new avenues of investigation. Proof of concept. No preliminary data required. &amp;#149; Funding Level 2: Research that is already supported by preliminary data and has potential to make significant advancements toward clinical translation. Demonstration of efficacy in in vivo models, as applicable. Partnering PI Option: The Breakthrough Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate two PIs, called the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI, each of whom will receive a separate award. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work (SOW), and other required components. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each PI is expected to bring distinct contributions to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the PIs to describe how their combined expertise will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts. To meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option, applicants are discouraged from submitting as a Partnering PI on multiple applications unless they are clearly addressing distinct research questions.</Description>

        <Description>The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. There are approximately 94,000 youth in residential confinement within the juvenile justice system on any given day. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The Second Chance Act will help ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. Section 115 of the Second Chance Act authorizes federal awards to states, units of local government, territories, and federally recognized Indian tribes to provide technology career training to persons confined in state prisons, local jails, and juvenile residential facilities.</Description>

        <Description>The Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award (ITEA) is intended to support the initial evaluation of a treatment or intervention in smaller, early phase or pilot clinical trials (Phase 0, I, or I/II, devices in U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] Class I-III) and does not require preliminary data in a Gulf War Illness model system. The ITEA mechanism was first offered in FY09. Since then, 29 ITEA applications have been received, and 10 have been recommended for funding. The ITEA supports the early systematic evaluation of innovative interventions with the potential to impact the health and lives of veterans with GWI. The results of preliminary studies funded by this award should have the potential to provide clinical proof-of-principle data and support future development of broader efficacy studies of the proposed interventions. Innovation is an important component of the ITEA. An application may demonstrate innovation not only by investigating a novel therapeutic approach for GWI, but also by studying a treatment that may have been utilized for other chronic multi-symptom illnesses, but has not yet been studied in veterans with GWI. For example, a pharmacological treatment or nutritional supplement suggested by previous research to be beneficial for fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome could be evaluated in veterans with GWI under the ITEA. However, the focus of the research must be clearly on GWI (and veterans of the 1990-1991 Gulf War) and not on another disease process or veteran cohort. Given the emphasis on innovation in the ITEA, applications are not required to include preliminary data. If preliminary data are provided, the data do not necessarily have to come from the GWI research field. Whether or not preliminary data are included in the application, the proposed research project should be based on sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and critical review and analysis of the literature. If there is significant preliminary and preclinical data reflecting considerable development of a treatment with applicability to GWI, the application would not be deemed innovative in keeping with the intent of the ITEA. This award mechanism is designed to evaluate a broad scope of treatment approaches with potential for application for GWI. Treatment approaches may include pharmacologic or other physiological interventions, including conventional, alternative, or complementary (combination of alternative and conventional) approaches. A variety of experimental and non-experimental study designs are acceptable under this award mechanism. The proposed study design will depend on the specific treatment or intervention to be assessed, resources available to clinical investigators, and the level of evidence currently available to support the proposed treatment for GWI. Examples of potential prospective designs may include systematic case series, prospective outcome evaluation studies, small-scale randomized trials, a combination of these, or other innovative prospective methods. Also of interest are interventions based on biological alterations identified in veterans with GWI. All studies involving interventions, regardless of design, are considered clinical trials. Health outcomes of interest for the proposed trial should include effects of interventions on: &amp;#149; Global health measures (biomarkers) and/or functional status; &amp;#149; Improvements in symptom complexes (e.g., cognitive function, musculoskeletal/pain symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, respiratory problems, skin abnormalities, sleep difficulties) individually and as they may interact with each other; &amp;#149; GWI subgroups characterized by symptom or other clinical characteristics. Applications that include partnerships with the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry that will leverage drug development efforts and accelerate the implementation of interventions for GWI are encouraged. Studies whose principal focus is on treatment of psychiatric conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), will not be funded under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. While Gulf War veterans are affected by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also called Lou Gehrig&amp;#146;s disease) at twice the rate of veterans who did not serve in the Gulf War, the GWIRP will not accept applications focusing on ALS research. However, applications that focus on GWI symptomatology may include GW veterans with ALS if the latter disorder is included in the study&amp;#146;s GWI case definition. [For those interested in pursuing ALS-focused studies, the office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) has a separate ALS Research Program (see http://cdmrp.army.mil/alsrp)]. Applications must clearly indicate how GWI cases, including any targeted illness subgroups, will be defined for purposes of the study. Applicants must provide a published case definition they intend to use to define their GWI population. Any case definition must recognize the multi-symptom nature of GWI. Note: The 2014 report of the Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans&amp;#146; Illnesses, Gulf War Illness and the Health of Gulf War Veterans: Research Update and Recommendations, 2009-2013, provides information on GWI, including case definitions and research on epidemiology, etiology, pathobiology, and treatment. The 2014 report can be found online at http://www.bu.edu/sph/files/2014/04/RAC2014.pdf. In addition, the pre-publication report (available online at http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2014/Chronic-Multisymptom-Illness-in-Gulf-War-Veterans-Case-Definitions-Reexamined.aspx) released by the Institute of Medicine includes recommendations for a consensus case definition. Funding from this award mechanism must support a clinical trial and may not be used for preclinical research studies. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking funding for a preclinical research project should consider one of the other award mechanisms/funding opportunities being offered. The term &amp;#147;human subjects&amp;#148; is used in this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity to refer to individuals who will be recruited for or who will participate in the proposed clinical trial. For more information, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm. If the clinical trial involves the use of a drug that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the proposed investigational use, evidence that an Investigational New Drug (IND) exemption application that meets all requirements under the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 312 (21 CFR 312) has been submitted or will be submitted to the FDA within 60 days of award is required. If the investigational product is a device, evidence that an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application that meets all requirements under 21 CFR 812 has been submitted or will be submitted to the FDA within 60 days of award, or that the device is exempt from an IDE, is required. The Government reserves the right to withdraw funding if the IND or IDE application has not been submitted to the FDA within 60 days of the Department of Defense (DoD) award date or if the documented status of the IND or IDE has not been obtained within 6 months of the award date. The following are important aspects of submission for the ITEA: &amp;#149; The proposed clinical trial is expected to begin no later than 12 months after the award date or 18 months for FDA-regulated studies. &amp;#149; The proposed intervention to be tested should offer significant potential impact for veterans with GWI. &amp;#149; The proposed research project must be based on sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and critical review and analysis of the literature and the application must identify the pathobiological mechanism being targeted. &amp;#149; The application should describe the planned indication for the product label, if appropriate, and include an outline of the development plan required to support that indication. &amp;#149; PIs must demonstrate availability of and access to a suitable Gulf War veteran population that will support a meaningful outcome for the study. Discuss how accrual goals will be achieved and how standards of care may impact the study population. PIs are encouraged to collaborate with an investigator who has demonstrated access to a population of ill and healthy Gulf War veterans, particularly investigators within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). &amp;#149; The application should demonstrate documented availability of and access to the drug/ compound, device, and/or other materials needed, as appropriate. The quality of the product should be commensurate with FDA manufacturing standards applicable to the type and phase of product being developed (i.e., Quality System Regulation, Good Manufacturing Practices). &amp;#149; The proposed clinical trial design should include clearly defined and appropriate endpoints, and follow Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. &amp;#149; The application should include a clearly articulated statistical analysis plan, appropriate statistical expertise, and a power analysis reflecting sample size projections that will clearly answer the objectives of the study. &amp;#149; The application should include a clearly articulated data management plan, and use of an appropriate database to safeguard and maintain the integrity of the data. &amp;#149; The application should include a clearly articulated safety management plan. &amp;#149; The application should include a clearly articulated clinical monitoring plan, outlining how the study will be monitored for GCP compliance, if applicable. &amp;#149; The application should include a study coordinator(s) who will guide the clinical protocol through the local Institutional Review Board (IRB) of record and other regulatory approval processes, coordinate activities from all sites participating in the trial, and coordinate participant accrual. &amp;#149; The application should include a Transition Plan (including potential funding and resources) showing how the product will progress to the next clinical trial phase and/or delivery to the market after the successful completion of the GWIRP ITEA. &amp;#149; The application should clearly demonstrate strong institutional support. &amp;#149; The application should acknowledge the commitment to filing the study in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trials registry, www.clinicaltrials.gov. </Description>

        <Description> Purpose of the Program: The purpose of the Delta Community Capital Initiative (DCCI) is to support local rural nonprofits and Federally Recognized Indian tribes serving the Lower Mississippi Delta for lending and investing activities in businesses lending and economic development, and for securing additional sources of public and private capital for these activities. DCCI&amp;#8217;s goal is to increase access to capital for business lending and development in the chronically underserved and undercapitalized Lower Mississippi Delta Region. Specifically, it will provide direct investment and technical assistance to community development lending and investing institutions so that funding opportunities will be more effective and economic development services will expand to the underserved residents of Lower Mississippi Delta Region. DCCI will focus on helping local financial institutions improve their capacity to raise capital, and to lend and invest in local communities.

        <Description>Program Description: AEDI&amp;#8217;s goal is to increase access to capital for business lending and development in the chronically underserved and undercapitalized Appalachian region. Applicants that are eligible to participate in this initiative are State community and/or economic development agencies. Specifically the AEDI will provide direct investment and technical assistance to community development lending and investing institutions in areas of the Appalachian Region that suffer from a lack of capacity to support business development. The AEDI will coordinate with ARC&amp;#8217;s economic development programs such as the ACC intermediary to identify areas within the Appalachian Region that are most in need of lending and investment capacity. The AEDI will provide funding and assistance through State community and/or economic development agencies to support local rural non-profit organizations that will increase the capital and support available to businesses in underserved communities and enhance the effectiveness of economic development programs for these areas. AEDI will focus on improving Appalachian communities and creating asset building opportunities for Appalachian residents by helping local financial institutions improve their capacity to raise capital from public and private sources, and to lend and invest it in local communities. Strengthening local community development lenders and investors will also widen the channels through which larger private institutions and federal agencies can reach small business owners and service providers who need their support.</Description>

        <Description>USDOL/ILAB intends to award up to $10 million for multiple cooperative agreements to organizations to implement impact evaluations globally to expand the evidence base on child labor and forced labor. Applicants may submit proposals to cover the cost of a full impact evaluation, to request supplemental funding for ongoing evaluations, or for additional analysis on completed evaluations, including survey costs. In general, USDOL would expect proposed full evaluations to range in cost from approximately $250,000 to $1 million; requests for supplemental funding for ongoing evaluations, including support of a survey, to range in cost from approximately $10,000 to $250,000; and requests for supplemental funding for additional analysis on completed evaluations to range in cost from approximately $10,000 to $50,000. It should be noted that these guidelines are not absolute; proposals for impact evaluations must describe and justify the level of funding for each evaluation or additional analysis being requested. Applications must propose impact evaluations outside of the United States that address key evidence gaps regarding child labor or forced labor program interventions in the areas outlined in this solicitation, and must demonstrate how they would leverage partnerships with implementing organizations to build upon existing, planned or completed interventions and/or impact evaluations, or secure separate funding for the intervention(s) itself. Subgrants may be made to academics or academic institutions, and study results may be published independently after the cooperative agreement has closed. Applicants may propose multiple studies. Funding through this cooperative agreement must only be used to fund impact evaluation design, implementation, analysis, and dissemination and must not be used to fund projects or interventions. Proposed impact evaluations must: 1) provide evidence that will be relevant to informing the design and effectiveness of a project or government policy that has direct or indirect effects on child labor or forced labor; 2) utilize partnerships between researchers, contractors, and/or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and local organizations in the country where the proposed impact evaluation will take place; 3) ensure that impact evaluation results will be available within the time-period of the cooperative agreement; 4) build the evidence base on child labor or forced labor in OCFT&amp;#146;s intervention areas and/or outcomes of interest; 5) test interventions or combinations of interventions; 6) examine interventions that are relevant and promising; 7) ensure that study designs, surveys, and analysis conform to international and national definitions and standards on child labor and forced labor; and 8) use RCT designs. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2015 Partnership for State Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Leadership Community Cooperative Agreement. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to support an organization focusing on MCH to improve public health programs and the delivery of MCH services and assure optimal alignment with the transformed Title V MCH Services Block Grant program. The awardee will support efforts of State Title V MCH programs, led by State MCH and Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Directors, to improve the health of all mothers and children by assisting States in developing, implementing, and sustaining public health programs and a comprehensive system of care for the delivery of MCH services that are well aligned with the transformed Title V MCH Services Block Grant. In addition, the awardee will support efforts of State Title V MCH Services Block Grant programs related to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including outreach and enrollment, tracking improvements from coverage to care to systems, and developing an &amp;#191;early warning system&amp;#191; for ACA-related issues in MCH. Applications for the Partnership for State Title V MCH Leadership Community Cooperative Agreement must address the following four goals: 1. Assist and support State MCH and CSHCN Directors in improving MCH outcomes; 2. Serve as an effective voice in communicating the importance of MCH issues; 3. Develop strong partnerships and collaborations with other national partners to advance MCH priorities; and 4. Facilitate development of a highly skilled MCH workforce, including State MCH leaders and staff, family leaders, and youth leaders. This funding will assist in providing an effective link between the Health Resources and Services Administration&amp;#191;s (HRSA&amp;#191;s) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), State Title V MCH programs, and MCH-related organizations at the national level to improve each State&amp;#191;s ability to demonstrate the impact and value of the Title V MCH Services Block Grant. This funding also will support closer linkages between State Title V MCH programs and other HRSA and non-HRSA investments, including, but not limited to, Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV), Healthy Start, newborn screening, Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems (ECCS), Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC), community health centers, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Care Services Outreach Grant Program (Outreach Program). ORHP&amp;#191;s Outreach Program is a community-based program targeted to improve outreach and service delivery in local and regional rural communities. The goals for the Outreach Program are the following: 1. Expand the delivery of health care services to include new and enhanced services exclusively in rural communities 2. Deliver health care services through a strong consortium, in which every consortium member organization is actively involved and engaged in the planning and delivery of services 3. Utilize and/or adapt an evidence-based or promising practice model(s) in the delivery of health care services 4. Improve population health, demonstrate health outcomes and sustainability Proposed projects will have an outcomes-oriented approach that will enhance and sustain the delivery of effective health care in rural communities. Proposed projects will be grounded in an evidence-based or promising practice model(s) in order to avoid &amp;#191;reinventing the wheel&amp;#191;. Projects based on an evidence-based or promising practice model have shown to be effective in addressing the community&amp;#191;s need, improving the health status of its residents and sustaining the project beyond Federal funding. Outreach projects can take the framework or methodology of an evidence-based or promising practice model and tailor it to their community&amp;#191;s need and organization. Evidence-based programs are those that are developed from scientific evidence and/or have been found to be effective based on the results of rigorous evaluations.[1] &amp;#191;A &amp;#191;promising model&amp;#191; is defined as one with at least preliminary evidence of effectiveness in small-scale interventions or for which there is potential for generating data that will be useful for making decisions about taking the intervention to scale and generalizing the results to diverse populations and settings&amp;#191;.[2] An example of a promising practice is a small-scale pilot program that generates positive outcome results and justifies program expansion to new access points and/or service populations. Programs funded have varied greatly and have brought care to at least two million rural citizens across the country who would otherwise not receive care or have access to care. The community served must be involved in the development and ongoing operations of the program in order to appropriately address the needs of the target population. Through consortia of local providers and others, rural communities have managed to develop innovative approaches to challenges related to enhancing access to services, adapting to changes in the health care environment, and improving the health of their communities. This includes projects focused on the full range of needs in rural communities from workforce, post-acute care services, long-term care services, public health enhancement, and care coordination. As health care increasingly moves toward a focus on enhancing value in health care delivery, applicants are encouraged to develop innovative approaches to help their rural communities improve the health of their local population. Applicants should think about how their proposed project addresses the goals of the Outreach grant program and how their project addresses a community need (which should be based on a community needs assessment). The Outreach funding can help rural communities obtain the start-up funding needed to test out and prove the merit of new approaches to addressing long-standing issues as well as emerging challenges in rural communities. As a recipient of a grant for the Outreach Program, grantees may be offered targeted technical assistance throughout the three years of the grant period to assist in achieving the project&amp;#191;s desired outcomes and ensure program sustainability after the grant is over. This additional support is provided at no extra cost to grantees as this is an investment made by ORHP to assist in the success of the grantee projects. ORHP has found that most grantees benefit greatly from the one-on-one support provided through this technical assistance. If an applicant is funded, the grantee will learn more about the targeted technical assistance (if offered).</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, intends to award a modification to Grant Agreement R12AP20020, to Trinity County Resource Conservation District on the following program: Water Rehabilitation and Sediment Control. The Agreement covers implementation of watershed rehabilitation and sediment source control for projects identified and approved by the Trinity River Watershed Council. The purpose of this project is to modify implementation of four additional projects that are needed to improve aquatic habitat conditions by controlling fine sediment deliver within the watershed to the Trinity River, and enhancement of fish passage by the removal of fish passage barriers within the watershed. This modification also adds a project selection objective. The System of Award Management (SAM) applies to this Notice of Intent. Information on SAM registration can be obtained via the Internet at www.sam.gov. Questions concerning this NOI should be directed to Robert Lowry by e-mail at rlowry@usbr.gov.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites research grant applications to conduct time-sensitive ancillary studies related to heart, lung, and blood diseases and sleep disorders in conjunction with ongoing clinical trials and other large clinical studies supported by NIH or non-NIH entities. The program establishes an accelerated review/award process to support the crucial time frame in which these ancillary studies must be performed. Time-sensitive ancillary studies include those that require active longitudinal data collection and thus need to begin recruiting subjects as close as possible to the start of the parent study. The ancillary study can address any research questions related to the mission of NHLBI for which the parent study can provide participants, infrastructure, and data. The parent studies most often will be a clinical trial, but also can be an observational study or registry that can provide a sufficient cohort of well-characterized patients. Each ancillary study application must demonstrate the time-sensitive nature of the application and must explicitly address why an expedited review is essential to its feasibility. </Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is being issued by the NIH Adherence Network through the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), with participation from multiple NIH Institutes and Centers. This FOA seeks Research Project Grant (R01) applications that propose interventions to significantly improve medication adherence in individuals. Applications may target medication adherence in the context of treatment for a single illness or chronic condition (e.g., hypertension), to stave off a disease recurrence (e.g., cancer) or for multiple comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, alcohol use disorders and HIV/AIDS). A well-articulated theoretical or conceptual framework is key for applications encouraged under this announcement. Primary outcomes of the research can include a patient self-report of medication adherence, but must also at least one non-self-report measure of medication adherence (e.g., pharmacy refill records, electronic monitoring, etc.). In addition, applications are encouraged to include a relevant health outcome or biomarker (e.g., blood pressure, viral load in HIV-infected individuals, cholesterol levels, HbA1c) that is expected to be affected by changes in the targeted adherence behavior. For diseases without identified biomarkers, inclusion of a clinical assessment (e.g., a medicine blood level, diagnostic interview or an independent clinician rating of the symptoms and behaviors) may be considered. </Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is being issued by the NIH Adherence Network through the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), with participation from multiple NIH Institutes. This FOA encourages Exploratory/Developmental Research Project Grant (R21) applications for research and development of interventions to significantly improve medication adherence in individuals. Applications may target medication adherence in the context of treatment for a single illness or chronic condition (e.g., hypertension), to stave off a disease recurrence (e.g., cancer) or for multiple comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, alcohol use disorders and HIV/AIDS). A well-articulated theoretical or conceptual framework is key for applications encouraged under this announcement. Applicants should demonstrate the feasibility of collecting multi-modal data on the targets of the intervention including: a patient self-report of medication adherence, at least one non-self-report measure of medication adherence (e.g., pharmacy refill records, electronic monitoring, etc.), and a relevant health outcome or biomarker (e.g., blood pressure, viral load in HIV-infected individuals, cholesterol levels, HbA1c) that is expected to be affected by changes in the targeted adherence behavior. For diseases without identified biomarkers, inclusion of a clinical assessment (e.g., a medicine blood level, diagnostic interview or an independent clinician rating of the symptoms and behaviors) may be considered. Applications for R21 awards should describe projects distinct from those supported through the traditional R01 mechanism. For example, long-term projects, or projects designed to increase knowledge in a well-established area, will not be considered for R21 awards. Applications submitted under this mechanism should be exploratory and novel. These studies should break new ground or extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications. </Description>

        <Description>The Black Duck Joint Venture (BDJV) is a partnership-based conservation program under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan that promotes the conservation of Black Ducks by providing greater knowledge for effective management. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a partner in the BDJV, administers grants and purchase orders on a competitive basis for projects/studies that advance both our and the general scientific community&amp;apos;s understanding of Black Duck ecology and is seeking proposals from interested parties. The BDJV will accept proposal addressing any aspect of black duck ecology and management, but proposals that address priority research needs (see full announcement) will have a greater probability of funding. Successful multi-year projects will be funded in 1-year increments, subject to annual review, demonstration of suitable progress, and funds availability. After 4 years of consecutive funding, those projects may reapply and compete for BDJV funds in one-year increments only and they will be re-evaluated based on their continued merit. To be competitive for funding, proposals should include both cash match and in-kind support. Currently the only source of general funding is U.S. Congress-appropriated funds directed to USFWS for BDJV use -- we are expected to demonstrate effective leveraging of these funds, preferably with non-U.S.-federal resources. Content and Form of Application: A complete application package will include the following components: 1.A project proposal 2.Standard Form (SF) 424</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is for Research Programs for in vivo and in vitro testing of the activity of pediatric anticancer drug candidates. These Research Programs are the fundamental part of the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Consortium (PPTC) initiative, which also includes a PPTC Coordinating Center (supported under RFA-CA-14-019). The main goal for PPTC is to develop a rigorous preclinical testing system for pediatric anticancer drug candidates and to generate reliable data that can be used to inform new agent prioritization decisions. This FOA invites applications for drug testing Research Programs focused on specific tumor types that are particularly relevant to pediatric oncology. Each application must propose only one testing Research Program from the following four types:Type A: Research Program for leukemia in vivo testing;Type B: Research Program for tumors of central nervous system (CNS) in vivo testing; Type C: Research Program for other (non-CNS) solid tumors testing in vivo; and Type D: Research Program for in vitro testing.Applicants may propose Research Programs of more than one type but only through separate applications for each. Applicants proposing in vivo testing programs must be capable of quantitative assessment of tumor regression and time to event for 6 to 10 new agents (or combinations of agents) annually across relevant, well-characterized preclinical models. All applicants are expected to have substantial expertise regarding the biology and therapeutic opportunities for the tumor types that they propose to study. The PPTC Research Program Awardees will be required to collaborate closely with the PPTC Coordinating Center.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a part of the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Consortium (PPTC) initiative. The PPTC will consist of in vivo and in vitro testing Research Programs (both supported under companion RFA-CA-14-018) and the PPTC Coordinating Center (supported under this FOA). The PPTC is designed to address key challenges associated with the development of new therapies for children with cancer by developing reliable preclinical testing data for pediatric drug candidates that can be used to inform new agent prioritization decisions. Effective prioritization is critical because of the large universe of drugs being developed for adult cancers, a number so large that no more than a small number can be studied in pediatric clinical trials. Identifying through preclinical testing those investigational agents most likely to have clinical activity for selected childhood cancers accelerates the pace at which treatments that are more effective than the current ones can be identified and incorporated into standard practice for children with cancer. The PPTC Research Programs, responsible for conducting the in vivo and in vitro testing of selected agents, will be focused on specific tumor types that are particularly relevant to pediatric oncology. The PPTC Coordinating Center, which is subject of this FOA, will be responsible for integrating the activities of the individual PPTC Research Programs to create a functional consortium for pediatric preclinical testing. Specifically, the PPTP-Coordinating Center will provide administrative coordination and infrastructure, data management and statistical support, as well as Consortium scientific coordination. </Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation&amp;#146;s Upper Colorado Region is requesting applications for the Water Conservation Field Service Program (WCFSP). Many, if not most, of the Bureau of Reclamation projects in the Upper Colorado Region have been in operation for several decades and are still using practices and procedures that represent state-of-the-art technology at the time the project was constructed. Much can be done to advance these projects to 2000&amp;apos;s technology with the accompanying increase in water use efficiency. Likewise, per capita urban water use in various locations within the Upper Colorado Region is among the highest in the nation. Reclamation has financial assistance available in the form of grants and cooperative agreements for water conservation activities. Applications are now being accepted from those entities wishing to receive financial assistance from the Water Conservation Field Services Program for fiscal year 2012. </Description>

The services provided will be implemented to generate increased financing and contract opportunities and related awards to minority business enterprises (MBEs). In addition, the services provided will assist MBEs to create and retain jobs. MBDA intends to award three (3) individual cooperative agreements pursuant to this FFO. The total award period for each of the MBDA Business Center projects is expected to be four (4) years. Specific locations and funding amounts for the MBDA Business Center projects are detailed in the table below and in Appendix A of the full text of the announcement. Funding for this program has not yet been appropriated. MBDA anticipates a total of $850,000 in FY 2012 funds will be available to fund the financial assistance awards for the MBDA Business Center locations identified in this FFO. The Agency also anticipates that $850,000 will be available in each of FY 2013 through FY 2015 to support continuation funding for these locations.

        <Description>American Youth Works will upgrade the existing trail system at the McGee Creek Natural Scenic Recreation Area (NSRA). The NSRA is comprised of nearly 10,000 acres and has approximately 35 miles of back country trails that have had little maintenance over the last 30 years. The existing trails were old logging roads/trails that were not built to be sustainable; therefore, they are severely rutted, eroded, and overgrown. This project will consist of four (4) eleven (11) day work spikes to continue work on an approximate eight (8) mile section of connecting trails (Yellow and Blue Trails, as identified in the Trail Management Plan). </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>U.S. accredited university Geoscience or related Departments are eligible for EDMAP funds.  University professors must write and submit the proposals.  EDMAP cooperative agreements are intended to fund students doing geologic mapping in the field.  While it is proper for the professors advisors to ask for some logistical support so that they may be with their student(s) in the field for a credible amount of time, the bulk of the award is intended to support the students mapping efforts.  EDMAP cooperative agreements do not support faculty salaries.  Masters and Doctoral students of Geoscience or related Departments at accredited United States colleges and universities are eligible applicants to the EDMAP Program.  In addition, qualified undergraduate Juniors and Seniors are also eligible.  These undergraduates should have received some basic mineralogy, petrology and structural geology training prior to the time they will do the geologic mapping proposed in this proposal.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The primary objective of the EDMAP component of the NCGMP is to train the next generation of geologic mappers. To do this NCGMP provides funds for graduate and selected undergraduate students in academic research projects that involve geologic mapping as a major component. Through these cooperative agreements NCGMP hopes to expand the research and educational capacity of academic programs that teach earth science students the techniques of geologic mapping and field data analysis. Another important goal is to increase the level of communication between the Nations geologic surveys (both State Geological Surveys and the USGS) and geologic mappers in the academic community. We hope that this improved communication will have two results: 1) that the academic mapping community will learn more about the societal needs that drive geologic mapping projects at the USGS and State Geologic Surveys, and 2) more geologic maps produced in academia will eventually be made available to the public.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the National Maternal and Child Health Data Resource Center Cooperative Agreement Program. The purpose of the National Maternal and Child Health Data Resource Center (DRC) Cooperative Agreement Program is to support a diverse population of stakeholders in the valid and standardized use of national, state, and community level data as it relates to the health of women, children and families. This cooperative agreement program will support the maintenance and expansion of a DRC that highlights, describes, and facilitates access to publicly available data with a focus on increasing access to and timely utilization of maternal and child health (MCH) data among state and local governments and non-governmental organizations, including HRSA grantees. Activities to increase both the availability of relevant data and the analytic capability of stakeholders will be done in a manner that aligns with and supports the Maternal and Child Health Bureau&amp;#191;s (MCHB) initiative to evaluate the effectiveness of MCH programming through the use of national and state-selected performance measures. For the 2015-2018 funding cycle, the objectives of this project are: 1) Continue a strategic expansion of the MCH-relevant datasets available on the DRC&amp;#191;s website to support the changing analytic needs of MCH stakeholders. Specifically, this expansion will include state-level estimates for a selection of the newly specified national outcome and performance measures under the Title V MCH Services Block Grant. 2) Increase the number and diversity of stakeholders who utilize this resource while ensuring that the resource remains both scientifically-sound and user-friendly. 3) Support state and local MCH programs in the utilization of valid and standardized data to monitor and evaluate program effectiveness, including state-initiated tracking of &amp;#191;real time&amp;#191; data for high priority MCH indicators where feasible.</Description>

        <Description>The Environmental Studies Program (ESP) of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is offering two cooperative agreement opportunities to conduct research in topics that serve the public interest of safe and environmentally sound energy and mineral production on the nation&amp;apos;s outer continental shelf. The BOEM manages the exploration and development of the nation&amp;apos;s offshore resources. The bureau seeks to balance economic development, energy independence, and environmental protection through oil and gas leases, renewable energy development and environmental reviews and studies. Section 1346 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) mandates the conduct of environmental and socioeconomic studies needed for the assessment and management of environmental impacts on the human, marine, and coastal environments which may be affected by energy development. OCSLA Section 1345 authorizes the use of cooperative agreements with affected States to meet the requirements of OCSLA, including sharing of information, joint utilization of available expertise, formation of joint monitoring arrangements to carry out applicable Federal and State laws, regulations, and stipulations relevant to outer continental shelf operations both onshore and offshore. The total amount of funding available in Fiscal Year 2012 under this amendment to this NOFA is an amount not to exceed $800,000. The BOEM anticipates making two cooperative agreement awards for proposals to be submitted by the Commonwealths of Virginia and Massachusetts under this program announcement. Work performance under this award must start before September 30, 2012. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#191;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P14AS00354 Project Title Web Mapping and EGIS Support Recipient Colorado State University Principle Investigator / Program Manager Melanie Laituri Total Anticipated Award Amount $663,459.20 Cost Share none New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement P14AC00728 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until September 29, 2015 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until September 29, 2015 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1(g) 16 USC 5933, 16 USC 1a-2(j) CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs &amp;#191; Resources of NPS CESU&amp;#191;s Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P14AC00728 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and the Colorado State University (CSU) to provide research, technical assistance and education to federal land management, environmental and research agencies and their potential partners; that involves the biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences needed to address resources issues and interdisciplinary problem-solving at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context at the local, regional, and national level; and place special emphasis on the working collaboration among federal agencies and universities and their related partner institutions. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. The primary objective is to leverage both public and internal interest and support for the upcoming centennial to modernize the NPS&amp;#191;s digital outreach strategy. Maps are a key component of this modernization effort. To support this modernization, the NPS&amp;#191; mapping platforms and efforts need to be updated so the agency&amp;#191;s mapping products can be disseminated more widely and used more effectively on all platforms - including the NPS.gov website and mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. This work will require nearly constant research and development to keep up with the ever-changing technological landscape. To meet this objective, the NPS must maintain consistent engagement with the public and other federal, state, and local agencies. Related to mapping, this increased engagement will include accepting &amp;#191;crowd-sourced&amp;#191; data from members of the public and integrating it into park maps. It will also include working hand-in-hand with other government agencies and non-profit organizations to improve collaboration and communication. In fact, most of the products built and maintained under this task agreement will be released under an open source license so other organizations can take advantage of the work. In this way, the NPS and CSU will continue to lead the way in web mapping through openness and transparency. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT &amp;#9679; Provide research associates under the supervision of the Principal Investigator. &amp;#9679; CSU researchers will participate in cooperative teams with the NPS that may be led by either party. Close working relationships with outside partners and affiliates and substantial involvement of multiple programs will be required to successfully complete this task. &amp;#9679; Work collaboratively with NPS staff, affiliates, academia, and the public (as appropriate) to complete research reports and recommendations, user and stakeholder requirements, and engagement, project plans, computer code, mapping products, and user and technical documentation. &amp;#9679; Ensure products comply with Section 508 (36 CFR Part 1194 Subpart C Section 31 and 41) to the fullest extent possible. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: &amp;#9679; RISD staff members and affiliates will collaborate on this project with the CSU research associates under the supervision of the Principal Investigator. &amp;#9679; Provide office space and other necessary material support (equipment and travel) to allow the researchers to perform their work and publish the products to university affiliates, partners, and the public. &amp;#9679; NPS staff and CSU researchers will participate in cooperative teams. Close working relationships with outside partners and affiliates and substantial involvement of multiple programs will be required for success. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This is a Task Agreement (P14AC01681) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) in the amount of $633,459.20 with a period of performance from date of award until 09/29/2015. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State University and the NPS is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network&amp;quot;. Also, on the SF 424 forms that the partner sponsored programs office fills out for each project, requires a CFDA number - 15.945, which is the number associated with the CFDA Title: COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND TRAINING PROGRAMS - RESOURCES OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE (CESU). STATUTORY AUTHORITY A. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1g authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements that involve the transfer of NPS appropriated funds to state, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs. B. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1a-2(j) Cooperative research and training programs authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements with public or private educational institutions, states, and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing adequate, coordinated, cooperative research and training programs concerning the resources of the national park system. Pursuant to such agreements, the cooperator may accept from or make available to the NPS technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and equipment, facilities, and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate (research projects subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation excluded).

        <Description>The Bar 4 well was completed in 1996. The well was drilled to a depth of 3,110 feet. A pumpjack was installed at that time for well testing. The well was equipped later that year with a permanent pumpjack (photo above). The pumpjack was removed in 1999 for temporary installation of an electric submersible pump and pressure transducer to test the well at a higher rate than possible with the installed pump. The original pumpjack was reinstalled afterward. In the spring of 2001, the USBR replaced the pump barrel which was found to be no longer functional due to corrosion and deterioration. It appears the last time the pump has been operated since then was in May 2002 for collection of a water sample. Several other water samples have also been collected since the well was installed. NRCE inspected the well in 2007 and in 2013. The pumpjack appears to be serviceable and in good condition. The condition of the pump barrel is unknown, and due to infrequent operation, may have suffered corrosion and deterioration since its last operation. It is therefore necessary to operate the pump in order to identify any problems that need to be repaired prior to placing the system in full-time operation. There is currently no source of power at the site to run the pump motor. The Havasupai Tribe propose to conduct a service and test run of the Bar 4 well before moving forward with the proposed development of the Bar 4 residential community and to enable routine sampling of the well. The approach for rehabilitation of this well is broken into five tasks. The outcome of each task dictates the necessity of and requirements for subsequent tasks. The tasks are: Task 1 Startup test and operation of well Task 2 Pumpjack service (surface equipment) Task 3 Power Supply Task 4 Water analysis Task 5 Report </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to build on previous PEPFAR support under the HHS/CDC HIV treatment program to ensure continuity of comprehensive HIV/AIDS services to an existing pool of clients receiving HIV/AIDS care, support, and/or treatment in C&amp;#244;te d&amp;#146;Ivoire. The program will also continue moderate expansion of access to HIV/AIDS services while building the capacity of national structures and contributing to sustainable service delivery within the health sector in C&amp;#244;te d&amp;#146;Ivoire, with a primary focus of activities in northern regions. Specifically, it serves to increase capacity and sustainability of the response to the HIV/AIDS crisis by initially providing support for HIV service delivery and ultimately providing technical assistance to indigenous Ivorian organizations and the national Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Fight Against AIDS (MSLS) to sustain and expand comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and ART programs. Successful grantees will combine a facility-based strategy with complementary community mobilization and follow up for case management to support retention in quality HIV/AIDS services. At the end of the 5 year project period, the recipient should be able to collect and evaluate program data that demonstrate improved quality of HIV prevention, care and treatment services in northern C&amp;#244;te d&amp;#146;Ivoire and to transition activities to MSLS and/or local organizations to sustain a basic HIV service package.</Description>

        <Description>The development, implementation, and support of quality management systems across clinical, laboratory and healthcare management services is a core element of PEPFAR&amp;#146;s long-term quality strategy for supported countries. The accreditation of laboratories is a &amp;#147;foundational&amp;#148; component of this strategy, which applies to facilities engaged in HIV diagnostics, as well as blood service labs engaged in HIV and other infectious disease screening, and the preparation of blood components for transfusion. Information systems that facilitate the rapid capture, management and analysis of information generated by a laboratory&amp;#146;s or blood service&amp;#146;s routine operations are an essential tool for laboratories seeking accreditation. However, the costs associated with procuring, installing and maintaining electronic information systems have historically been barrier to access for laboratories and blood services in sub-Saharan Africa (and other developing regions). As a result, many blood services and laboratory systems in Africa and other resource-limited settings rely on sub-optimal paper-based systems, or limited electronic systems that are unable to capture and trace information (forward and backwards) through every link in the blood service or laboratory value chain. For blood services this means the ability to trace a unit of blood and related information from the blood donor to the transfusion recipient; for a laboratory this means the ability to trace specimens and related information from the collection point back to the physician providing care to the patient who provided the specimen.To address this gap, PEPFAR is supporting the development and implementation of lower-cost, quality assured information systems based on open source technologies. To promote the sustainability of this initiative, PEPFAR and CDC seek to fund an organization with experience in open source software development and implementation to provide such support to PEPFAR supported countries.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>A. Eligibility Information   1. Eligible Applicants:   Government Organizations:  &amp;#149; State or their bona fide agents (includes the District of Columbia)  &amp;#149; Local governments or their bona fide agents  &amp;#149; Territorial governments or their bona fide agents in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianna Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau)   2. Special Eligibility Requirements: N/A  3. Justification for Less than Maximum Competition:   The Medical Monitoring Project or MMP is a national public health surveillance program designed to collect clinical and behavioral information on those diagnosed with HIV or AIDS. Competition for MMP funds is limited to the twenty-six (26) established MMP sites originally selected in 2004.  These particular sites were selected to represent the HIV epidemic in the United States.  Process for the selection and establishment of MMP sites has been published in a scientific journal; a detailed description of the process used for selection is available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3462615/pdf/TOAIDJ-6-67.pdf.   The established MMP sites have enabled CDC to obtain data that represent the country as a whole starting in 2004.  Ascertainment of representative national data is the goal of MMP.        Twenty States or territories, including six jurisdictions which are separately funded for other HIV/AIDS program activities within states, were selected to participate in MMP in 2004.  These 26 sites have built the capacity to successfully perform MMP and enable CDC to meet surveillance goals by producing national estimates characterizing the US epidemic. The selected sites were: California Department of Health Services; Chicago Department of Public Health; Delaware Department of Health and Social Services; Florida Department of Health; Georgia Department of Public Health; Houston Department of Health and Human Services; Illinois Department of Public Health; Indiana State Department of Health; Los Angeles County Health Department; Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; Massachusetts Department of Public Health; Michigan Department of Community Health; Mississippi Department of Health; New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services; New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; New York State Department of Health; North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services; Oregon Department of Human Services; Pennsylvania Department of Health; Philadelphia Department of Public Health; Puerto Rico Health Department; San Francisco Department of Public Health; South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control; Texas Department of State Health Services; Virginia Department of Health; and Washington State Department of Health. These are the twenty-six areas eligible to apply and continue to conduct MMP activities.      In order to appropriately use MMP data for prevention and to evaluate national HIV-related health care initiatives including portions of the Affordable Care Act, the data collected in MMP must be nationally representative. If competition is not limited to the 26 established sites listed above, MMP would not be adhering to the scientific sampling strategy chosen for its project design.  Without this adherence, MMP data would not be nationally representative and would no longer produce reports that represent the HIV epidemic in the United States.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of the Interior&amp;#146;s WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America&amp;#146;s Resources for Tomorrow) program establishes a framework to provide Federal leadership and assistance on the efficient use of water, integrating water and energy policies to support the sustainable use of all natural resources, and coordinating the water conservation activities of various DOI bureaus and offices. Through the program, DOI is working to achieve a sustainable water strategy to meet the Nation&amp;#146;s water needs. The Bureau of Reclamation&amp;#146;s Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse program (Title XVI) is an important part of WaterSMART. For purposes of the Title XVI program, a water reuse project is a project that reclaims and reuses municipal, industrial, domestic, or agricultural wastewater and naturally impaired groundwater and/or surface waters. Reclaimed water can be used for a variety of purposes, such as environmental restoration, fish and wildlife, groundwater recharge, municipal, domestic, industrial, agricultural, power generation, or recreation. Water reuse is an essential tool in stretching the limited water supplies in the Western United States. Title XVI projects develop and supplement urban and irrigation water supplies through water reuse, thereby improving efficiency, providing flexibility during water shortages, and diversifying the water supply. Title XVI projects provide growing communities with new sources of clean water while promoting water and energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applicants to submit proposals for the development of new Title XVI feasibility studies. Applicants must provide 50 percent non-Federal cost share for the proposed activity. Proposed activities should begin in FY 2012 and be completed by March 31, 2014. Under Title XVI of P.L. 102-575, Reclamation works to identify and investigate opportunities to reclaim and reuse wastewaters and naturally impaired ground and surface water in the 17 Western States and Hawaii. Title XVI also provides authority for Reclamation to provide up to 50 percent of the costs of studies to determine the feasibility of water reclamation and reuse projects. Prior to construction funding of any project authorized under Title XVI, Reclamation must determine that a feasibility study for the project complies with the provisions of Title XVI. Under this FOA, funding is being made available to assist project sponsors with the development of new Title XVI feasibility studies. For further information on the requirements of a Title XVI feasibility study, see Reclamation Manual Directive &amp;amp; Standard Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program Feasibility Study Review Process (WTR 11-01), . </Description>

CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. Single Source Justification Criteria Sited: JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (or SINGLE SOURCE) FOR DISCRETIONARY COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS BACKGROUND: This project is the third phase of multi-year project for the repair and construction of a 10 unit campground. Specifically the project is to perform new trails construction with in the campground to provide better access to facilities and prevent further resource damage. Under this Agreement, the youth crews will travel to the parks and provide assistance with Fire ring, picnic table and Sign installation in conjunction with construction of three small trails. In addition to control work, youth crews may assist in slope stabilization and re- vegetation of disturbed areas. 1) 505 DM 2 Single Source - Only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements. The source identified for this agreement is the Southeast Alaska Guidance Association (SAGA). SAGA has been a partner with the NPS &amp;#150; Alaska Region for several years and has a proven, positive track record. SAGA crews provide a compliment to the Alaska trail&amp;#146;s management efforts. These crews have participated in extensive manual Trails management in isolated areas of the region&amp;#146;s park. They have shown great flexibility in working with different parks to organize the numerous specialized logistics, such as transportation, and equipment, associated with these remote areas. Being a local, Alaska-based organization &amp;#150; they bring specific knowledge of the varied landscapes, potential hazards, safety concerns, and project logistics to the table. In addition, SAGA&amp;#146;s ability to provide a single crew for the entirety of the work season would save the National Park Service time and money. 2) Nature and description of the deliverable required to meet the agency&amp;#146;s needs: The purpose of this partnership is to specify a partnership project between the NPS and SAGA which involves Trails construction and campsite development in Wrangell St. Elias National Park and Preserve more specifically work will be completed in Twin Lakes campground. Work will start on the first week of July and run five consecutive weeks. Under this Agreement, the youth crews will travel to the parks and provide assistance with Fire ring, picnic table and Sign installation in conjunction with construction of three small trails. In addition to control work, youth crews may assist in slope stabilization and re- vegetation of disturbed areas. The Southeast Alaska Guidance Association agrees to: &amp;#149; Provide a trained five to six-member crew, with two leaders experienced in supervision and ensuring basic work safety. &amp;#149; Assure that crew will be physically able to do manual labor for an eight-hour day norm. &amp;#149; Provide transportation to the work site, camp gear and food for all crew members and daily maintenance and cleaning to camp facilities. &amp;#149; Complete trails construction and campground modifications for Wrangell-St. Elias NPP. &amp;#149; Coordinate work schedule with NPS Project Inspector to ensure project completion within target schedule, based on the tentative work schedule listed above. 3) Criteria for justifying award without competition. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria. Please explain which criterion specifically addresses the proposed agreement. SAGA has been a partner with the National Park Service &amp;#150; Alaska Region for several years and has a proven positive track record. Under an existing Cooperative Agreement, Task Agreements of this nature have been entered into with SAGA previously - Task Agreement Number H9927061234. SAGA crews provide a compliment to the Alaska Trails Management Team efforts. Their crews have participated in extensive Facility and trails work in isolated areas of the region&amp;#146;s parks. They have shown great flexibility in working with different parks to organize the numerous specialized logistics, such as transportation, and equipment, associated with these remote areas. Being a local, Alaska-based organization &amp;#150; they bring specific knowledge of the varied landscapes, potential hazards, and project logistics to the table. SAGA also provides the unique opportunity for youth work crews specifically for local Alaska youth &amp;#150; from communities such as Barrow, Brevig Mission, Huslia, Kotlik, Akiak, Bethel, Nome, Juneau, and Anchorage. In addition, the ability of SAGA to provide a single crew for the entirety of the work season would save the National Park Service time and money. 4) A description of the market research that was conducted and the results, or a statement of the reason a market research was not conducted: SAGA, American Conservation Experience, ACE (http://www.usaconservation.org/), and the U.S. Forest Service&amp;#146;s Trails Unlimited Enterprise based out of Monrovia, California (http://www.fs.fed.us/trailsunlimited/) were reviewed because of their past park service involvement with trail construction with other Alaskan Parks, it was determined that SAGA was the most economical and provided the greatest youth experience for the NPS. 5) Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition: Agreements of this nature have been entered into with SAGA previously; they have been used multiple times in Glacier Bay and Kenai Fjords. 6) A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers for competition before any potential future agreement award: &amp;#149; If known, provide information on any new technology or new source that will be available in the future. &amp;#149; Describe any measures being taken to foster competition for future acquisitions of the same item or service.

        <Description>This announcement solicits new and competing continuation applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part C Early Intervention Services (EIS). Funds will support outpatient HIV primary care services targeted to low-income, vulnerable, medically underserved people living with HIV/AIDS including women, infants, children and youth. The purpose of the RWHAP Part C EIS Program is to provide HIV primary care in the outpatient setting. Applicants must propose to provide a comprehensive continuum of outpatient HIV primary care services in the designated service area including: 1) targeted HIV counseling, testing, and referral; 2) medical evaluation and clinical care; 3) other primary care services; and 4) referrals to other health services. Primary care for persons with HIV disease should start as early in the course of the infection as possible. However, entry into a RWHAP Part C EIS program may take place at any point in the spectrum of the disease or the patient&amp;#191;s lifespan. This competition is open to existing and new organizations proposing to provide RWHAP Part C funded services in the service areas described in Appendix B. Applicants must define their proposed service area, which may be a portion of or the entire published service area. Applicants proposing to serve less than all of the service area as listed in Appendix B must demonstrate the availability of comprehensive care and services to the entire service area through partners or other RWHAP providers. Applicants that have overlapping geographic service areas must propose to provide additional services, or target specific vulnerable populations, and/or provide services that enhance the existing services in the area. New organizations must demonstrate that they will serve the existing patients and populations, and provide at least the same scope of services of the current grantee. New applicants must identify the grantee (listed in Appendix B) they intend to replace. As established in section 2651 of the PHS Act, and according to the terms and conditions of these awards, a RWHAP Part C program grantee must expend grant funds to provide HIV primary medical care in a proposed service area. These services must be reflected in the budget. Staff positions such as nurses, medical assistants and dental hygienists can be included in the budget when the position proportionately complements HIV primary medical care providers, such as physicians, dentists, physician assistants, or nurse practitioners for the RWHAP Part C program. Accordingly, a RWHAP Part C budget must reflect a medical model of care in which providers can assess, treat and refer, as applicable. Providers must be authorized, via credentialing and licensure, to prescribe medications, order medically indicated tests/exams, interpret symptoms, treat, and meet Department of Health and Human Services&amp;#191; (HHS) guidelines. Applicants are expected to focus RWHAP Part C supported services on those populations of persons living with HIV (PLWH) who are the hardest to reach, have the greatest unmet need, and/or the greatest gaps in HIV primary care services as documented by local epidemiologic and needs assessment data. These populations include (but are not limited to) minorities, youth, women, pregnant women, post-incarcerated persons, and homeless persons. Applicants will be expected to have the financial capabilities to execute the fiduciary responsibilities that come with acceptance of a federal award. Applicants must demonstrate that they are fiscally able to perform the duties and services outlined in this grant. RWHAP Part C programs should comply with federally-approved guidelines for HIV Prevention and Treatment (see http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov/ as a reliable source for current guidelines). More information can also be found at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/onap/ . The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) are committed to meeting the national goals and principles described below. As applicants complete their RWHAP Part C proposal, they should consider how their program supports and helps to implement these goals and principles.</Description>

        <Description>Health centers improve the health of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services. Health Center Program grants support a variety of community-based and patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that serve an increasing number of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved.

        <Description>The Concrete Preservation Institute (CPI) is partnering with the National Park Service (NPS), and professional partners in a program of assessment, research, training, stabilization, and surface repair on Alcatraz Island and throughout the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) starting in the summer of 2014 for three years. The program engages teams of participants including university students, military veterans, and high school graduates working during the year in three 10 to 12 week sessions. The participants will be led by an experienced CPI team leader who will report directly to the CPI Job Site Supervisor who will be onsite at all times. All work will be coordinated and guided by GGNRA. The collaboratively-developed work plan will focus on the preservation of small to medium scale concrete features. The experience will expose students to the NPS by merging knowledge of historic preservation and the Secretary of Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with the concrete industry. A goal of this collaboration is to encourage youth to become future NPS professionals. This cooperative partnership will focus on the stewardship of park cultural resources which will have a mutually beneficial impact on the visitor experience. The project scope includes &amp;#191;Mentoring Days&amp;#191; in which CPI students serve as mentors for high school volunteer groups working on other projects within GGNRA thus encouraging the next generation to attend college and consider similar fields of study. Phase 1 (starting in the summer of 2014) is being funded as part of this initial Task Agreement (TA), and will focus on repairs to the west wall of the Powerhouse; the concrete railings behind Building 64; and, the concrete posts and handrails on the stairs leading to the Recreation Yard on Alcatraz. Future phases will be added through modifications to this TA and are dependent upon need, successful completion of previous phases, and availability of funding. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hereby announces its interest in receiving research applications for novel imaging and measurement technologies for biological systems science. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will consider applications for the development of novel imaging instrumentation and measurement technologies that support the integrative analysis of communication among subcellular compartments, between individual microbial cells and within multicellular communities/plant tissues. The goal is to develop in situ, dynamic and nondestructive approaches to enable multifunctional imaging, quantitative flux measurements, and multiscale integrative analysis of bioenergy-relevant plant and microbial systems. Ideally, these imaging approaches will pave the way for predictive understanding of the spatial and temporal relationships, physical connections, and chemical exchanges that facilitate the flow of materials and information across membranes and between intracellular sp aces. The anticipated outcome of this FOA is the development of in situ imaging and measurement technologies that can (1) resolve multiple key metabolic processes over time within or among cells and (2) bridge the critical gap in linking molecular-scale information to whole-cell, systems-level understanding. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening and Intervention Program. This announcement solicits proposals for reducing the loss to follow-up of infants who have not passed a physiologic newborn hearing screening examination prior to discharge from the newborn nursery by utilizing specifically targeted and measurable interventions. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to further focus efforts to improve the loss to follow-up/loss to documentation (LTF/D) by utilizing specific interventions such as quality improvement methodology to achieve measurable improvement in the numbers of infants who receive appropriate and timely follow-up. The (LTF/D) percentage dropped by 10% between 2009 and 2012, the last year for which we have annual data. The goal is that there will be at least a 5% per year reduction in the LTF/D in years 2015 through 2016. To accomplish the stated purpose of this funding opportunity, states are expected to use quality improvement methodology that will include gathering a team of stakeholders or reinvigorating an existing team to assist in the quality improvement work. Teams should include, at a minimum, the state EHDI (Early Hearing Detection and Intervention) coordinator as the lead person, a pediatric audiologist, a parent of a child with a hearing loss, a representative from the early intervention program, and a data person. A meeting schedule should be set up for the teams. The team will need to craft an aim statement, identify change strategies, implement Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to decide what changes lead to improvement, and spread successful changes throughout the system. Data should be collected and provided to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)in a timely manner, and reviewed and analyzed on an ongoing basis to determine if the changes proposed in the work scope of the application have led to system-wide improvements and reported out to the appropriate stakeholders.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for a National Technical Resource Center for Newborn Hearing Screening and Intervention (Center) in support of the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program (UNHS). The purpose of the UNHS program is to utilize specifically targeted and measurable interventions to increase the number of infants who are followed up for rescreening, referral, and intervention after having not passed a physiologic newborn screening examination prior to discharge from the newborn nursery. The focus of the Center will be to provide to state Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs training and technical assistance for planning, policy development, implementing innovations and quality improvement methodology to reduce their loss to follow-up rate/loss to documentation (LTF/D), i.e. the number of infants who do not receive timely and appropriate screening follow-up and coordinated interventions. The goals of the Center are to: (1) improve the performance of state EHDI programs in decreasing the loss to follow-up rates by 5% per year, especially in rural and underserved communities; and (2) increase to 100% the number of state EHDI programs that have incorporated quality improvement methodology and processes into their operations. The goals will be addressed through the following strategies: &amp;#183; Forming a multidisciplinary project advisory group to include family representatives, members of medically underserved populations, pediatric health professionals, audiologists, public health representatives, evaluators, quality improvement and telehealth experts; &amp;#183; Identifying and exploring innovative and promising practices. Examples include the linkage of newborns to family-centered medical homes (FCMH), the coordination between FCMH and early intervention programs, the linkage to home visiting programs, and the use of telehealth/teleinteventions for improving access to screening follow-up services, including diagnosis and interventions; &amp;#183; Developing and implementing a dissemination and diffusion of nnovations plan that includes the following: the target population, goals, improvements, culturally and linguistically competent tools, measures, methods and channels to be used for communication with opinion leaders, peers, stakeholders, and other key audiences; &amp;#183; Providing technical assistance to state EHDI programs both individually and through learning communities, regarding workforce solutions, policy and finance approaches for sustaining their programs, and integration of their efforts with other state early childhood and health promotion (i.e., medical home approach) efforts; and &amp;#183; Working cooperatively and collaboratively with Federal and non-Federal programs function, including American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Head Start Bureau at the Administration for Children and Families, National Institute of Health, the Department of Education&amp;#191;s IDEA Part C Early Intervention programs, and other pertinent organizations related to the implementation of sustainable EHDI programs. Anticipated targets for the Center include the following: &amp;#183; 100% of the state EHDI programs will have incorporated quality improvement methodology processes into their operations; &amp;#183; At least 25 states will have conducted a feasibility study of electronic linkages between EHDI databases and vital statistics, early intervention, and/or immunization databases to enable easy retrieval of newborn hearing screening results by health care practitioners; &amp;#183; Double the number of states from four to eight (4 to 8) that employ telehealth technology to increase access to services for infants in the UNHS program; and &amp;#183; 95% of states will have a process in place to facilitate the linkage of all infants in the UNHS program to FCMH. Success of the program will be reflected in annual data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicating that: &amp;#183; Each state/territory has met the annual performance requirement of reducing the LTF/D percentage by 5%; &amp;#183; Maintain the percentage of infants who are screened before one (1) month of age at 98%; &amp;#183; Increase the percentage of infants who fail their newborn hearing screening that will have an audiologic diagnosis before three (3) months of age to 90% from 70% in 2012 and; &amp;#183; 95% of infants found to have a hearing loss will be enrolled in an early intervention program before six (6) months of age.</Description>

        <Description>This Request for Applications (RFA) for Haiti, specifically, provides information on funding opportunities for multi-year, development food aid programs. Food security is the cornerstone of the Title II program because &amp;#147;&amp;#133;enhancing food security in the developing world through the use of agricultural commodities&amp;#133;&amp;#148; is a policy of the United States as stated in the Food for Peace Act, which authorizes Title II food aid. Thus, FFP&amp;#146;s goal for multi-year development programming is to reduce risks and vulnerabilities to food insecurity and increase food availability, access and utilization/consumption. Title II programs must target the vulnerability of food insecure individuals, households and communities directly. Note that assistance made available pursuant to this RFA may be used to meet emergency/exceptional circumstances as provided in accordance with the terms of those awards and 22 C.F. R. 211.5(o). In this past this had been capped at 10 percent, however, based on the use of trigger indicators, this level may be exceeded. FFP would greatly appreciate receiving consolidated comments on this draft RFA for Haiti from the representative groups of the FACG. A consolidated response from FFP to comments and inquiries concerning the draft materials will accompany the finalized materials. Comments on the FY12 draft RFA for Haiti are therefore due at COB, Tuesday, December 27, 2011. However, please do not wait until the last day to submit your consolidated comments and inquiries. As stated in the draft RFA, all comments and inquiries should be directed to Juli Majernik at jmajernik@usaid.gov with a copy to facg@amexdc2.com.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Consulate General Kolkata will host the fourth &amp;#147;Trafficking in Persons Conclave&amp;#148; in Ranchi, Jharkhand, to reinforce its commitment to combat human trafficking. The first two conclaves were held in Kolkata in 2012, followed by the third international conclave in Guwahati in 2013, have helped secure Kolkata Consulate&amp;#146;s position as a key partner in strengthening the anti-trafficking movement at the regional level as part of our common efforts to eliminate trafficking in persons globally. Having worked in close association with the government, police, business, civil society and the NGO sectors in West Bengal and the North Eastern states, Consulate Kolkata would now like to strengthen partnerships in the Bihar- Jharkhand belt. Trafficking in Jharkhand has increased threefold in the past three years, according to data released by the Indian Social Welfare, Women and Children Development Department that works on behalf of rescued persons. In recent years, the state of Jharkhand has emerged as a vulnerable state for trafficking of women and children for forced labor and slavery. Thousands of children from Jharkhand are traded and trafficked by placement agencies to domestic homes in Delhi and other Indian cities. Abject poverty, illiteracy, ignorance, difficult access areas, shrinking land holding by the local populace, network of placement agencies and, most importantly, the vulnerability of the tribal population has been cited as the main reasons for large-scale safe and unsafe migration from Jharkhand to other cities. The proposed two-day Conclave will address the lack of coordinated efforts in addressing this problem by bringing together key stakeholders from NGOs, government, business houses, law enforcement agencies, civil society organizations and the legal fraternity to encourage increased networking and cooperation to tackle this growing menace. The U.S. Consulate Kolkata seeks applications from a &amp;#147;valid&amp;#148; U.S. or Indian organization to organize and execute this conclave (refer to Section IV). In case the applicant is an organization from the U.S, they will have to choose and work in close partnership with a local partner/sub-awardee. The awardee will work together with key stakeholders at the regional, national and international level to develop an agenda, invite local and international speakers and manage all logistics for the conference. One significant purpose of this cooperative agreement is to strengthen networking among the anti-TIP partners between Bihar/Jharkhand (which is the source) and North and West India (which are the destinations).The Conclave will also continue to strengthen networking with the border countries of India, including Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Burma.Proposals should be based on the framework of a two-day conference to include a networking reception and not more than ten panels/ discussions featuring a maximum of 50 speakers/presenters. The U.S. Consulate General Kolkata will also work separately to secure funding for a U.S. anti -TIP expert whose participation will bring in a global perspective. The awardee will invite appropriate local participants from cities including but not limited to Ranchi, Jharkhand, Patna, Bihar, Kolkata and Delhi, representatives from Northeast states, and appropriate representation from Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Burma- approximately 100 people, including but not limited to, government officials, police, judiciary, prosecutors and the legal fraternity, business people, and local and international NGOs. The awardee must receive approval from the U.S. Consulate General Kolkata on the final list of invited participants and the media strategy to amplify the impact of this conclave. Topics for the conference should include, but are not limited to, domestic and bonded labor trafficking, child protection issues, timely coordination between anti human trafficking units, NGOs, law enforcement agencies and the judiciary, and the role of CSR in addressing exploitative child labor issues and developing marketable skills for the vulnerable community. (Please refer full announcement for details). </Description>

        <Description>CDC, in collaboration with the National AIDS Control Program/Department of AIDS Control, has successfully laid the foundation for quality standards and approaches within India&amp;#146;s vast HIV laboratory network through a previous five-year laboratory strengthening funding opportunity announcement (FOA). Many achievements were made during the course of the five-year project period, including accreditation of national and state reference labs. This follow-on FOA is expected to build upon and sustain previous accomplishments through onsite mentoring and in service staff training with an eye to higher quality services and scale up. A plan will be developed to facilitate laboratory quality at the grassroots level for 12,000 + Integrated HIV Testing and Counseling Centers (ICTCs). This shall be done through trainer/mentor creation within the HIV laboratory network to assist peripheral laboratories in implementing minimum quality standards. Given its expanded technical assistance (TA) scope, it is also expected to build the capacity and assure quality in a phased manner for HIV related tests like CD4 enumeration, HIV viral load and STI through strengthening leadership and mentoring capacity within the laboratory network. Now in Phase IV of its HIV/AIDS response, the Government of India (GoI) is keen to address any gaps in testing coverage. </Description>

        <Description>Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have awarded a large share of bachelor&amp;apos;s degrees to African American students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and the top ten baccalaureate institutions of African American STEM doctorate recipients from 2002-2006 are HBCUs. [1] To meet the nation&amp;apos;s accelerating demands for STEM talent, more rapid gains in achievement, success and degree production in STEM for underrepresented minority populations are needed. The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) is committed to enhancing the quality of undergraduate STEM education and research at HBCUs as a means to broaden participation in the nation&amp;apos;s STEM workforce. To this end, HBCU-UP provides awards to develop, implement, and study innovative models and approaches for making dramatic improvements in the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may participate successfully in STEM graduate programs and/or careers in STEM disciplines. Support is available for Targeted Infusion Projects, Broadening Participation Research Projects, Research Initiation Awards, Implementation Projects and Achieving Competitive Excellence Implementation Projects, as well as other funding opportunities.Targeted Infusion Projects (TIP) provide support to achieve a short-term, well-defined goal to innovate or improve the quality of undergraduate STEM education at HBCUs. Targeted Infusion Projects could create or adapt innovative learning experiences and pedagogies in STEM fields. Projects could develop creative uses of cyberlearning, specifically learning with cyberinfrastructure tools. Projects could enhance academic infrastructure by updating curriculum, modernizing laboratory research equipment, or improving the computational network array for research and education. Projects could enhance existing degree programs, establish new degree programs or concentrations, secure specialized accreditation or certification, or infuse STEM programs with disciplinary field advances and evolving workforce requirements. Projects that develop faculty expertise, promote implementation of educational innovations, or link to the preparation of future K-12 teachers are encouraged. Projects should be guided by research on teaching and learning.The Broadening Participation Research (BPR) in STEM Education track provides support to research projects that seek to create and study new theory-driven models and innovations related to the participation and success of diverse groups in STEM undergraduate education. BPR projects add new research-based strategies and models to broadening participation in STEM and increase the capacity of scholars at Historically Black Universities and Colleges to conduct this type of research. Research Initiation Awards (RIA) provide support for a STEM faculty member at the HBCU to pursue research at the home institution, at an NSF-funded research Center, at a research intensive institution, or at a national laboratory. Awards are intended to help further the faculty member&amp;apos;s research capability and effectiveness, to improve research and education at his or her home institution, and to involve undergraduate students in research experiences. Research Initiation Awards are for junior faculty who are starting to build a research program, as well as for mid-career faculty who may have returned to the faculty ranks after holding an administrative post or who for some other reason need to redirect and rebuild a research program. Faculty members who hold an active Federal research award are not eligible for the Research Initiation Award.Implementation Projects provide support to design, implement, study, and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the numbers of students and the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. Implementation projects create and/or adapt and assess innovative models and materials for teaching and learning in STEM, embody knowledge about how students learn most effectively in STEM teaching and learning activities, and bring STEM disciplinary advances into the undergraduate experience. Within this track, Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Implementation Projects are intended for HBCUs with exemplary achievements and established institutionalized foundations from previous Implementation Project grants. ACE seeks ambitious, potentially transformative proposals that have the promise of significant advances in STEM undergraduate education at the institution. Other funding opportunities include: Conferences, Symposia, and Workshops; EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) and Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID); as well as Grant Supplements for existing awards. Additionally, PIs are invited to seek supplemental support from NSF for their participating students and faculty who are accepted as participants in one of four Department of Energy initiatives: Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI), Faculty-Student Teams (FaST), Community College Institutes (CCI),and Pre-Service Teacher (PST) Internships. These initiatives are intended to support the research opportunities in DoE national laboratories during the summer. Planning Grants for institutional STEM self-analysis and action planning which lead to an HBCU-UP proposal submission may be submitted as unsolicited proposals. Division of Human Resource Development (HRD) Special Call for ProposalsBPS-Resource Network: This solicitation includes a special call for design proposals that will lead to the development of a Broadening Participation in STEM Resource Network (BPS-Resource Network). The purpose of the BPS-Resource Network will be to assist all HRD grantees as well as other NSF stakeholders in achieving the performance goal in the NSF Strategic Plan for 2011-2016 to &amp;quot;Prepare and engage a diverse STEM workforce motivated to participate at the frontiers.&amp;quot; Design project proposals are encouraged from all eligible NSF proposers. The scope of the BPS-Resource Network design proposals should not be limited to the HBCU-UP program goal.

        <Description>The Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program is a major research and development effort that supports innovative partnerships to improve K-12 student achievement in mathematics and science. MSP projects are expected to raise the achievement levels of all students and significantly reduce achievement gaps in the STEM performance of diverse student populations. MSP projects contribute to what is known in K-12 STEM education. All STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields supported by NSF may be involved in this work, with special encouragement to areas that are gaining increased traction at the K-12 level, such as computer science and engineering, in addition to mathematics and science. MSP projects also serve as models that have a sufficiently strong evidence/research base to improve STEM education outcomes for all students. Through this solicitation, NSF seeks to support two levels of Targeted Partnership awards, Implementation and Prototype. Implementation awards are intended to develop and put into practice innovative approaches and strategies in education. Prototype awards explore potentially innovative approaches and strategies in education. Both types of Partnerships incorporate significant new innovations to STEM education, linked to a strong educational research agenda, in one of four focal areas: Community Enterprise for STEM Learning; Current Issues Related to STEM Content; Identifying and Cultivating Exceptional Talent; and K-12 STEM Teacher Preparation. In addition, there are three types of Research, Evaluation and Technical Assistance (RETA) project opportunities in this solicitation: research related to sustainability, or policies, or state plans for STEM education; technical assistance for evaluators of MSP projects; and the STEM Education Resource Collaboratory.</Description>

        <Description>This program is a continuation of the Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) that began in FY 1998 as part of the National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI). Since the inception of the NPGI and the PGRP, there has been a tremendous increase in the availability of functional genomics tools and sequence resources for use in the study of key crop plants and their models. Proposals are welcomed that build on these resources to develop conceptually new and different ideas and strategies to address grand challenge questions in plants of economic importance on a genome-wide scale. There is also a continued need for the development of novel and creative tools to facilitate new experimental approaches or new ways of analyzing genomic data. Especially encouraged are proposals that provide strong and novel training opportunities integral to the research plan and particularly across disciplines that include, but are not limited to, plant physiology, quantitative genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics and engineering. Three kinds of activity will be supported in FY 2012: (1) Genomics-empowered plant research to tackle fundamental questions in plant and agricultural sciences on a genome-wide scale; (2) Development of tools and resources for plant genome research including novel technologies and analysis tools that will enable discovery; and (3) Mid-Career Investigator Awards in Plant Genome Research (MCA-PGR) to increase participation of investigators trained primarily in fields other than plant genomics. Proposals addressing these opportunities are welcomed at all scales, from single-investigator projects through multi-investigator, multi-institution projects, commensurate with the scope of the work proposed. The PGRP encourages proposals from investigators and institutions that have not participated in the program before. Proposals are encouraged from early-career investigators and proposals submitted to the CAREER program (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214&amp;amp;org=BIO) are considered by the PGRP. Early-career investigators are strongly encouraged to contact a PGRP Program Director for further guidance.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research grant applications from institutions/organizations to investigate mechanisms by which the gut microbiome modulates the development and function of brain circuits that subserve behavioral functions of direct relevance to the mission of the NIMH. Because initial colonization of the gut by microbiota occurs early in life and may influence the subsequent development and modifiability of the central nervous system, developmental studies are of interest. Applicants may propose to use wild-type, gnotobiotic, and/or specific pathogen-free model organisms. With this FOA, the NIMH encourages investigator teams to initiate hypothesis-driven research in this cross-cutting research area and to identify promising mechanistic leads for future basic and translational research that will advance the mission of the NIMH.</Description>

        <Description>The BMMB Program supports fundamental research in biomechanics and mechanobiology. An emphasis is placed on multiscale mechanics approaches in the study of organisms that integrate across molecular, cell, tissue, and organ domains. The relationships between mechanical behavior and extracellular matrix composition and organization are of interest. In addition, the influence of in vivo mechanical forces on cell and matrix biology in the histomorphogenesis, maintenance, regeneration, and aging of tissues is an important concern. Funded projects may include theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches. The program encourages the consideration of diverse living tissues as smart materials that are self-designing.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to build on existing PEPFAR-supported HIV services as well as CDC-supported maternal and child health programs in Haiti and provide support to local indigenous institutions to sustain the delivering of high quality integrated clinical services in a network of service provision in the Northeast and West departments of Haiti. The support for services is to include but is not limited to activities that: (1) improve HIV prevention and care services through expansion and strengthening of HIV testing and counseling (HTC), prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT), HIV care including prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections, TB/HIV, and laboratory services in all of these facilities; (2) strengthen anti-retroviral therapy (ART) services in all 5 institutions of this network with a particular emphasis on early ART initiation, adherence monitoring, and retention on treatment; (3) strengthen and expand TB prevention, diagnosis and treatment capacity (through directly observed therapy); and (4) improve primary care services with a focus on maternal and child health (MCH). Services will be supported in collaboration with the Northeast Department Health Directorate. This network primarily includes the following institutions and their satellite centers: Centre de Sant&amp;#233; de Mont Organis&amp;#233;, Centre de Sant&amp;#233; de Trou du Nord, Centre de Sant&amp;#233; de Terrier Rouge, Centre de Sant&amp;#233; de Mombin Crochu (all in Northeast Department), and Centre de Sant&amp;#233; de Petite Place Cazeau (West Department). Applications should consider these institutions as a network and propose strategies that will reinforce and strengthen it, leading to sustainability and ownership in line with the USG&amp;#146;s partnership framework agreement with the Government of Haiti.</Description>

        <Description>The President&amp;#146;s Plan for Emergency AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has made country ownership and sustainability key priorities for implementing the PEPFAR Blueprint . In order to achieve this, PEPFAR programs will need to identify all available resources at the country level. While faith-based organizations (FBOs) have been essential partners with PEPFAR in providing a substantial proportion of HIV prevention, treatment, and support services, their distinctive resources must be fully maximized at local, regional, and national levels. Due to limited capacity, the full range of key HIV services are not accessible to the population-at-large, including vulnerable and marginalized communities; however, these barriers to accessibility are not simply due to limited capacity. Social-structural and cultural factors also present barriers to the full implementation of the PEPFAR Blueprint. Faith-based organizations and faith-based health systems offer distinctive resources for addressing those barriers and must be key collaborators with PEPFAR and in-country partners. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) supports the integration of FBOs into PEPFAR&amp;#146;s efforts to meet the objectives spelled out in the Blueprint by building their capacity and by strengthening multi-sectoral collaboration in support of evidence-based public health responses to HIV. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to increase the identification of HIV positive persons through targeted HIV counseling and testing (HCT), assist in spouse and child disclosure of HIV status, and improve linkage and enrollment of all newly identified HIV clients to HIV/AIDS care, treatment and support services. Linkage is defined as the process of identifying new HIV positive clients through a bidirectional relationship among index case testing service outlets and HIV/AIDS care and treatment facilities, enrolling newly diagnosed HIV clients into appropriate chronic care by using referral slip and/or escorting of all newly identified HIV clients to appropriate care, treatment and support services. The care and support services will serve to improve clients ART adherence, and overall quality of life of persons living with HIV (PLHIV) and their families. This in turn will reduce new HIV infections, improve the quality of life for PLHIVs, and mitigate the negative health, psychological, social, and economic impacts of HIV infection in the long term.</Description>

        <Description>The Kingdom of Lesotho has a population of 1.9 million people. With a gender differentiated but generalized HIV epidemic, Lesotho has the world&amp;#146;s third highest HIV prevalence at 23.3%, and the world&amp;#146;s fifth highest TB-HIV co-infection rates. According to UNAIDS 2012 estimates, more than 360,000 people (includes 38,000 children under the age of 15) are estimated to be living with HIV. Lesotho has made significant improvements in reducing AIDS related mortality from 26,000 in 2005 to less than 16,000 in 2012. The overall goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to utilize a district model approach to scale-up HIV prevention and treatment interventions to create an AIDS free generation in four districts in Lesotho. This will be achieved by implementing interventions to expand coverage of provider-initiated testing and counseling (PITC) and linkage into care services and treatment; reduce the rate of mother to child transmission to less than 5% and keep the mother-baby pairs alive; increase coverage of HIV treatment both to reduce AIDS-related mortality and to enhance HIV prevention; ensure that all TB-HIV co-infected people are initiated on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and retained in care; and strengthen the capacity of District Health Management Teams (DHMT) to routinely deliver high quality HIV programs in each district. The goal and activities of this FOA are in alignment with the Lesotho National HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan (NSP) . The four service districts will be Leribe, Berea, Quithing, and Qacha&amp;#146;s Nek, which have a combined estimated population of 750,000. </Description>

        <Description>Cooperative Agreement with the Friends of Boyer Chute and DeSoto National Wildlife Refuges to award program funding to the Friends without competition to assist with planning public programs and products at DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the sinking of the Steamboat Bertrand. The Friends will administer grant funding and staffing support for the proposed events and activities that relate to Anniversary which provides an opportunity to foster a deeper appreciation of the artifacts in the Steamboat Bertrand collection preserved as museum property by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will be substantially involved in projects under this funding opportunity. In particular, the Service will be responsible for the following: directly supervise the Friends employee and provide subject matter expertise for planning and production of Anniversary products. Service personnel expect to conduct and present the majority of planned public programs and produce the exhibits and other products planned for the Anniversary. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service anticipates that this will be the only (sole) award; applications for renewal or supplementation will not be solicited per 505DM 2.14B 1, 2 and 4. Competition is not practical as the Friends are uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon their cooperating relationship with the refuge in operating a bookstore in the refuge visitor center and their knowledge of refuge resources and educational themes including the Steamboat Bertrand Museum Collection located in the visitor center.</Description>

        <Description>The US Army corps of Engineers, Portland District (USACE) intends to enter into a cooperative agreement to recover and analyze 19th and early 20th century tidal data. Up to 40 years of additional tide data exists in the US National Archives for various long-term tide gages around the country, but that data has been unavailable and un-analyzed for more than a century. Within this work effort, benchmark and datum records will be recovered and tied to the modern record. The goal of this work is to recover important pre-digital historical tidal data that up to this point has not been available for analysis and to help define how extreme water levels (such as the 10 year or 100 year return period event) are evolving at locations around the country. This data will be used to extend the historical record which will help provide information relevant to climate and sea level change at the various tidal stations addressed in the work. An increased tidal record can inform the public and regions of the country on expected future conditions including flood risk due to changing tides, sea level and, in some cases, river flow. This cooperative agreement will be awarded pursuant to the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 SEC 731 &amp;#150; Study of Rising Oceans. </Description>

        <Description>The emergent field of geroscience seeks to relate the biology of aging to the development of chronic diseases and the onset of degenerative conditions which are prevalent in the older segment of human populations. It is generally accepted that age is the major risk factor for most chronic diseases and degenerative conditions in adults. Thus, a critical question in geroscience is to identify components in the biology of aging that are the underlying risk for multiple chronic diseases and degenerative conditions. Therefore, this FOA will support planning grants to circumscribe the scope of this question and suggest ways to answer it experimentally. The focus will be on epigenetics underlying aging as a risk factor for age-related diseases and degenerative conditions in humans. Mortality and age-related mortality are outside the scope of this FOA. Studies using model organisms are outside the scope of this FOA. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the &amp;#191;Strengthen Evidence Base for Maternal and Child Health Programs&amp;#191; cooperative agreement. The purpose of this program is to provide support and resources to assist State Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs in developing evidence-based or evidence-informed State Action Plans as well as in responding to the National Outcome Measures, National Performance Measures, State Performance Measures, and state-initiated Structural/Process Measures. This will facilitate the transformation of the MCH Title V Block Grant program. The activities funded under the cooperative agreement will aim to accomplish the following six goals: (1) Convene a Team of Experts who have specialty background and experience related to the topical areas addressed in the National Performance Measures such as medical home or children with special health care needs; (2) Provide a critical review of the evidence of effectiveness of possible strategies to address National Outcome Measures, National Performance Measures, State Performance Measures, and state-initiated Structural/Process Measures via the Team of Experts; (3) Provide ongoing consultation to state Title V MCH programs via the Team of Experts, to support the State&amp;#191;s development of evidence-based or evidence-informed State Action Plans; (4) Develop web-based supports and resources for State Title V (MCH) programs; (5) Establish an online platform for sharing best practices called a &amp;#191;Community of Practice,&amp;#191; which will facilitate communication and information-sharing on topics regarding the emerging needs of Title V state and discretionary grantees for implementing the Title V MCH Block Grant Transformation process; and (6) Maintain and enhance a MCH digital library to facilitate access to historical and current MCH documents from the establishment of the Children&amp;#191;s Bureau in 1912 to the enactment of Title V of the Social Security Act in 1935 and other significant documents published thereafter. The awardee will accomplish the following activities within each of the six program goals: 1. Convene a Team of Experts. The Team of Experts should have specialty experience related to the performance measures such as medical home or children with special health care needs. The awardee must establish their Team of Experts and propose the plan. The awardee will have access to peer-reviewed research, published reports, and research databases and portals to support the Team of Experts&amp;#191; activities. Team activities will include: &amp;#183; Plan and implement a thorough literature review process for required evidence-based reports. The literature review process will ensure the integrity of the recommended evidenced-based and evidenced-informed strategies; and &amp;#183; Respond to state requests for consultation and analysis regarding the identification of National and State Performance Measures, Structural/Process Measures, as well as the development of their state action plan within the context that the State programs must make continued progress to achieve the desired health status and performance outcomes. 2. Provide reports including a critical review of the evidence of effectiveness of possible strategies to address National Outcome Measures, National Performance Measures, State Performance Measures, and state-initiated Structural/Process Measures, via the Team of Experts. Literature reviewed should include peer-reviewed articles, Bureau grantee reports, white papers, and other grey literature via research methods. A definition will be applied to narrow the literature according to measure topic relevance. The final reports should include the following sections: &amp;#183; Literature Review: A literature review of research that includes peer-reviewed articles, awardee reports, white papers, and other grey literature applicable nationally or to the state requesting assistance; &amp;#183; Analysis: Analysis of available results and meta-analysis of published findings as available; &amp;#183; Recommendations: Implementation and measurement recommendations based on evidence-informed outcomes including suggestions on what works and what doesn&amp;#191;t work for state Title V MCH programs; and &amp;#183; Bibliography: Citations and links to original literature. 3. Provide ongoing consultation to state Title V MCH programs via the Team of Experts, to support the State&amp;#191;s development of evidence-based or evidence-informed State Action Plans to address the National Outcome Measures, National Performance Measures, State Performance Measures, and state-initiated Structural/Process Measures. Consultation activities should: &amp;#183; Be ongoing and responsive to the individual needs of the states as they use their National and State Performance Measures to develop their State Action Plan; and &amp;#183; Include communication mechanisims for the Team of Experts to ensure the states are receiving a thurough consultation. 4.

        <Description>The intent of the FY14 Military Risk Factors Research Award (MRFA) is to facilitate high-impact, systematic, population-based research investigating the association between TBI and the subsequent development of AD. Applications should describe how the association of TBI and subsequent AD will be characterized. Applications should also describe how the proposed study will work with well-defined, already identified study cohorts. Applications should carefully consider how their studies will characterize the cognitive and behavioral symptoms that result in functional impairments in the proposed cohort. Studies that use combinations of measures (e.g., neuropsychological assessments, imaging, genomics, and cerebral spinal fluid) are encouraged. Applications that develop interdisciplinary teams or consortia as part of the support plan for executing the research are encouraged. Important Note: Applications must detail and demonstrate expedited access to a well-defined, already identified study cohort. Preliminary data that supports how the cohort will be used in the study is also required. The preliminary data must strongly support the proposed research hypothesis (or hypotheses). Refer to the Review Criteria in this Program Announcement/ Funding Opportunity for details. Overarching Challenge: This MRFA funding opportunity requires applications to address the following PRARP Overarching Challenge: Paucity of Clinical Studies: The paucity of clinical studies and other research resources to examine the interrelationship between TBI and subsequent AD for military Veterans/other individuals affected by TBI. Focus Areas: In addition to addressing the Overarching Challenge, applications must also address at least one of the following FY14 PRARP Focus Areas in support of the Overarching Challenge. An application that proposes research outside of these Focus Areas is acceptable, as long as the applicant provides a strong rationale: Genomics/Proteomics/Bioinformatics: Studies or technologies (e.g., genetic, proteomic and epigenetic strategies) intended to characterize neurological change associated with TBI and subsequent AD. In addition to studies, relevant technologies or tests may be considered under this focus area. Imaging: Development and application of anatomic and molecular imaging strategies to characterize neurological changes associated with TBI and subsequent AD While the MRFA mechanism can be used to support clinical research, the following is specifically discouraged under the FY14 PRARP: Pharmacologic Interventions: Clinical or Basic research requiring investigational or FDA-approved drugs or medicines. Drug Discovery and Development: Clinical or Basic research directly leading to the development of investigational medicines, drugs, or agents. </Description>

        <Description>Avian Health and Disease Program Region 7 Request for Proposals FY2012 INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS The Avian Health and Disease program (AHD) supports avian conservation, surveillance and monitoring goals of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by including health and disease assessments into activities related to the management of all migratory bird species. MATERIALS To prepare a complete Proposal, authors should have a copy of the Avian Health and Disease Program-Region 7 Request for Proposals (FY2012) and the National Strategic Plan. OBJECTIVES OF THE AVIAN HEALTH AND DISEASE PROGRAM Conduct health and disease surveillance of wild bird populations to: 1. Establish avian health baselines 2. Identify existing and emerging avian health and disease risks 3. Ensure disease preparedness and prevention 4. Develop, guide, and implement appropriate and effective management actions To address these objectives, the National Strategic Plan (NSP) (1) provides support for the following six main areas: 1. Personnel 2. Morbidity and mortality monitoring, response and technical assistance 3. Health and disease impact investigations 4. Technical assistance for management issues 5. Infrastructure and provisions needed for field operations 6. Communications and informing policy 7. Collaborations The Regional Avian Health and Disease Coordinator (acting coordinator: Russ Oates) is responsible for ensuring that Alaska&amp;#146;s AHD program is meeting the objectives and fulfilling requirements identified in the NSP. This Request for Proposals (RFP) is designed specifically to address Health and Disease Impact Investigations (Number 3 above). Although, many of the other areas, such as Morbidity and Mortality Monitoring and Response will require partnering between the Regional Office and many field stations across the state, these activities will be developed with the Coordinator and field personnel separately from this proposal process. Below are specific topics identified within the NSP that should be considered in proposals seeking funding from the R7-AHD program (2) . HEALTH AND DISEASE IMPACT INVESTIGATIONS Integrate health surveillance into field activities &amp;#149; Initiate or expand investigation of regionally specific avian health and disease problems &amp;#149; Collect baseline data on avian species to assess health and disease concerns &amp;#149; Evaluate critical avian populations: species of concern, threatened and endangered species (conduct field investigations in combination with the ongoing management activities) &amp;#149; Investigate infectious diseases (viruses, bacteria, fungal infections) &amp;#149; Investigate non-infectious diseases (parasites, biotoxins, contaminants) &amp;#149; Conduct targeted pathogen surveillance &amp;#149; Investigate indigenous and exotic disease problems Climate change &amp;#149; Incorporate AHD activities into DOI climate change strategic plans, LCCs, CCPs and other planning documents. &amp;#149; Integrate health surveillance with National Wildlife Refuges Inventories and Monitoring disease surveillance priorities &amp;#149; Investigate the impact of climate change on the biology of wildlife disease reservoirs and vector species &amp;#149; Investigate disease impacts on species adaptation strategies &amp;#149; Identify ancillary stressors influencing avian susceptibility to disease (decoupling of biological processes) Human-induced effects on disease transmission &amp;#149; Assess the increased disease risks associated with urban, suburban, and agricultural environments (water quality, habitat fragmentation, contaminants) &amp;#149; Aid in the prevention and management of invasive species introduction &amp;#149; Adjust FWS personnel behaviors during field activities to decrease the potential of disease transmission to humans, other wildlife, other geographic sites PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT Multi-year projects, up to three years will be accepted. All proposals must cover the entire scope of the project, not just the current year. Proposals can be updated each year to address any changes that may occur over the life of the project. No set budget limit exists for individual projects; however projects should try not to exceed $60,000 per year. Projects costing more than $60,000 will be considered but must be well-justified. Proposals should be 2-5 pages and include enough information for a reviewer to understand how objectives of the project will be met. TIMELINE FOR PROJECTS-2012 December 1, 2011: Request for Proposal released by Regional Coordinator January 30: Proposals due to Regional Coordinator February 18: Selections on Funded Projects Announced December 1: Annual Progress Reports due to Regional Coordinator *For final reports, see section below. REPORTING For all projects, an annual progress report is due by December 1, 2012. For single-year projects and on the last year of multi-year projects, final reports are due 120 days after receiving laboratory results from all samples submitted for analyses. Report formats will be distributed by the Coordinator in Fall 2012. Proposals should be sent to Michelle St. Peters.

        <Description>The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is soliciting proposals from organizations, groups, or individuals to enter into an 18-month cooperative agreement to provide for the revision of Strategic Development of the Executive Woman, and to plan and deliver the program in 2013. NIC continues to build upon the success of its women&amp;#146;s-only programming, where gender barriers are eliminated and acceleration of learning is possible. The award recipient will become familiar with the work currently being done at NIC that provides for an understanding of the history and future development goals for this series. The award includes responsibility for the updated Instructional Theory into Practice (ITIP) formatted curriculum, and in collaboration with the NIC Research and Information Services Division, an evaluation of the initial program delivery using the NIC training evaluation protocol. This should represent a minimal cost to the award recipient. The project will also address strategies for additional learning and networking upon training completion. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will focus on improving the capacity of Provincial Health Directorates (DPSs) in Mozambique to plan, monitor, implement, and oversee HIV related activities funded under PEPFAR following Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines and scale up strategies. Institutional capacity building will prepare the DPSs to increase ownership and responsibility to take over these programs in the future. Given the magnitude of the epidemic and the limitations of the country and health infrastructure, Mozambique is considered a &amp;#145;long term&amp;#146; strategy country under PEPFAR. Currently, a large proportion of service provision is supported through international and some local Non-Government Organizations (NGOs). This FOA will promote further collaboration with these implementing partners as well as additional peer to peer partners to prepare a solid base on which to build quality local health services. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this project is to construct the five extraction wells, ten groundwater compliance monitoring wells, raw water transmission pipeline, groundwater treatment facility, treated water pipeline, and six re-injection wells. The proposed treatment facility will remove contaminants from the groundwater and restore the aquifer while enhancing the water supply for the region. In addition, the project is part of a regional plan to clean up the EMOU and is recognized by the EPA in their Record of Decision as necessary for restoration of the EMOU aquifer.Project Description.This Agreement covers the activities and costs necessary for the design, permitting, and construction of the five extraction wells, ten monitoring wells, the raw water pipeline, the 250 gpm treatment facility, the treated water pipeline, and the six re-injection wells.Major components are described below.Pre-design ActivitiesThis work item includes the completion of all pre-design activities, including groundwater modeling, well design, discharge study, treatment facility design, pipeline design and groundwater monitoring.Treatment Equipment InstallationThis work item includes the installation of treatment facilities for the removal of VOC&amp;#146;s, and 1,4-Dioxane. VOC&amp;#146;s will be removed by LGAC. 1,4-Dioxane will be destroyed by an ultraviolet/chemical oxidation process. Construct Extraction Wells and Re-injection WellsThis work item includes the final activities necessary to construct the five extraction wells and six re-injection wells. These activities include construction of the wells, well development, installation of the permanent pumps and some minor piping reconfigurations.Compliance Monitoring WellsThis work item includes the installation of ten compliance monitoring wells, which are required by EPA. The wells will monitor the compliance of the shallow zone remedy as described in the Interim Record of Decision for the EMOU. Site WorkSite work will include clearing of the land, grading, modifications to existing site piping, new site piping and appurtenances, vaults, slabs on grade, chemical containment areas, electrical power and controls, and pre-engineered metal buildings.PipelinesRaw and treated water pipelines will be constructed to convey raw groundwater from the new extraction wells to the centralized treatment facility and transport the treated water to the re-injection wells.The purpose of this modification is to update the scope of work, schedule, milestone dates, completion date, and budget. This is necessary due to changes to the project details that have evolved since the agreement was executed over 8 years ago. In addition, an additional $610,000 is being obligated to the agreement. These funds were deobligated from other agreements when they were closed out. </Description>

        <Description>This is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to the Chicago Wilderness Trust under justification 505DM 2.14B1 to implement a series of public events around the Great Lakes basin on climate change resiliency at the local level. The applicant, Chicago Wilderness, is a partner with many urban areas in the Great Lakes and has served as a model for a conservation alliance. Competition for the award is not practical as this project was specifically identified for funding in the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Interagency Agreement. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) plans to enter into a new cooperative agreement with Chicago Wilderness Trust to provide financial support for community education relevant to increasing climate change resiliency in the Great Lakes. This project is outlined in the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Interagency Agreement Scope of Work FY 2014 developed between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Great Lakes National Program Office and the U.S. fish and Wildlife Service, which describes the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) funding allocated to the Service by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Increasing Climate Change resiliency is extremely important to communities around the Great Lakes in attempting to cope with drought, increased storm events, flooding and other effects of a changing climate. This project will bring the right science to local GLRI partners, including the public and other stakeholders, so as to ensure smart conservation investments for the future. Substantial involvement on the part of the Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the activities to be funded. In particular, the Service will partner with Chicago Wilderness to implement a series of at least 10 public events around the Great Lakes basin on climate change resiliency at the local level. These &amp;apos;climate clinics&amp;apos; will identify strategies to help GLRI practitioners respond and adapt to changes to our climate. The Chicago Wilderness strategy, &amp;quot;Climate Action Plan for Nature&amp;quot;, includes five Community Action Strategies: Climate Change Education; Stewardship; Monitoring; Water Conservation; and Climate friendly gardens and landscapes. This funding would provide the opportunity to implement these Community Action Strategies in multiple urban areas. FWS Staff will help identify relevant land managers and will participate in workshops providing their expertise in habitat restoration and wildlife vulnerability to climate change.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)-led Minerva Research Initiative (http://minerva.dtic.mil), a DoD-sponsored, university-based social science research program initiated by the Secretary of Defense. This program is a multi-service effort. Ultimately, however, funding decisions will be made by OSD personnel, with technical inputs from the Services. The program focuses on areas of strategic importance to U.S. national security policy. It seeks to increase the Department&amp;#146;s intellectual capital in the social sciences and improve its ability to address future challenges and build bridges between the Department and the social science community. Minerva brings together universities, research institutions, and individual scholars and supports multidisciplinary and cross-institutional projects addressing specific topic areas determined by the Department of Defense. The Minerva Research Initiative aims to promote research in specific areas of social science and to promote a candid and constructive relationship between DoD and the social science academic community.The Minerva Research Initiative competition is for research related to the four (4) topics and ten (10) subtopics listed below. Detailed descriptions of the topics can be found in Section VIII, &amp;#147;Specific Minerva Research Initiative Topics.&amp;#148; The detailed descriptions are intended to provide the proposer a frame of reference and are not meant to be restrictive. Innovative proposals related to these research topics are highly encouraged. White papers and full proposals are solicited which address the following topics (described in Section VIII of this solicitation): (1) Identity, Influence, and Mobilization(1-A) Culture, identity, and security(1-B) Belief formation and influence(1-C) Mobilization for change(2) Contributors to Societal Resilience and Change(2-A) Governance and rule of law(2-B) Resources, economics, and globalization(2-C) Additional factors impacting societal resilience and change(3) Power and Deterrence(3-A) Power projection and diffusion (3-B) Beyond conventional deterrence(4) Innovations in National Security, Conflict, and Cooperation (4-A) Analytical methods and metrics for security research(4-B) Emerging topics in conflict and securityProposals will be considered both for single-investigator awards as well as larger teams. A team of university investigators may be warranted because the necessary expertise in addressing the multiple facets of the topics may reside in different universities, or in different departments of the same university. The research questions addressed should extend across a fairly broad range of linked issues where there is clear potential synergy among the contributions of the distinct disciplines represented on the team. Team proposals must name one Principal Investigator as the responsible technical point of contact. Similarly, one institution will be the primary recipient for the purpose of award execution. The relationship among participating institutions and their respective roles, as well as the apportionment of funds including sub-awards, if any, must be described in both the proposal text and the budget.

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for the Consortium on Biomarkers and Outcome Measures of Social Impairment in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in order to generate objective tools for use in clinical trials of behavioral or pharmacologic interventions. The FOA will support a Consortium project to conduct a multi-site study to assess a well-justified set of standardized lab-based measures of domains of social impairment and biological measures (resting state and task-based EEG as well as eye tracking measures) that show promise in school age individuals with ASD at baseline, 6 and 24 week time points. The intent of the FOA is to qualify a set of measures that can be used as stratification biomarkers and/or as sensitive and reliable objective measures of social impairment in ASD clinical trials. A key goal of the Consortium projectis to provide a community resource for broad sharing of all data generated including processed/analyzed data, with rapid and timely deposition of data into the National Database for Autism Research (NDAR). All data generated in this project are expected to be deposited in NDAR and will be accessible for use by all qualified investigators. In addition, blood (DNA) samples are expected to be deposited in the NIMH Repository and Genomics Resource for future research use.The Consortium project will assess the following: (1) whether lab-based measures of specific domains of social impairment in ASD are more sensitive indicators of clinical status compared to commonly used clinician and caregiver assessments of social impairment for their potential use as outcome measures in clinical trials; (2) whether eye-tracking, electrophysiological (EEG) paradigms, or a combination of the two, have potential utility as stratification biomarkers and/or as sensitive and reliable measures of change in ASD clinical trials; (3) the relationship (correlation) of lab-based measures of domains of social impairment to eye tracking or EEG (resting state and task-based) paradigms; and (4) the relationship (correlation) of lab-based measures of domains of social impairment to commonly used clinician and caregiver assessments of social impairment. In addition, the FOA includes a resource aim for the collection of blood (DNA) samples from all subjects, including the parents of ASD subjects, for future genomic analyses. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#191;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P14AS00369 Project Title Hands on Lands Recipient National Environmental Education &amp;amp; Training foundation Principle Investigator / Program Manager Carol Watson Total Anticipated Award Amount $400,000.00 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement P12AC031002 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until September 30, 2015 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until September 30, 2015 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1(g) CFDA # and Title 15.954 Conservation, Protection, Outreach &amp;amp; Education Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P12AC31002 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and National Environmental Education and Training Program (NEEF) to support, extend and enhance environmental, cultural and natural resource education programs that are of interest to NPS and NEEF and to assist the American public in its understanding of the mission and goals of the National Park Service through aligning interagency natural resource based educational tools that comprise the partnership `Hands on the Land&amp;#191;. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. Interagency Partnership &amp;#191; Hands on the Land (HOL) is a national network of field classrooms and agency resources that is managed by NEEF and connects students, teachers, families, and volunteers with public lands and waterways. HOL sites customize hands-on experiences using local natural, historical and archaeological settings to bring classroom learning to life. National Park sites monitor ecological and natural resources trends and specific biota. This type of work relies upon Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skills and the data generated can be transferred, adapted and applied by students. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT NPS and US Department of Education (ED) wish to expand upon a partnership that supports and enhances STEM programming within ED&amp;apos;s 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) program. Through this collaboration, NPS and ED will continue to advance mutual STEM education goals by providing access to natural resource monitoring and citizen science programs in our national parks to students in Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) tribal grantee schools that are geographically close to NPS units.. In order to implement these programs, NPS will work with an environmental education organization such as HOL - a national program created by Partners in Resource Education and managed by the NEEF that connects schools with public land agencies for the purposes of exposing students to the environment. National park units, HOL, and ED&amp;#191;s 21st CCLC grantees will work collaboratively to integrate STEM skills into 21st CCLC programming and offer students the opportunity to have authentic STEM experiences in a national park. The overarching goal for the interagency collaboration is to align resources between the agencies to address the national need for a STEM-educated workforce. The objective of the project is to improve the retention of students in STEM disciplines by providing opportunities and activities that motivate and inspire students to take an interest in STEM. This goal and objective is to &amp;#191;provide multiple ways for children to learn about the national parks and what they reveal about nature, the nation&amp;#191;s history, and issues central to our civic life the goal of &amp;#191;bringing our public lands to the classrooms and the classrooms to our public lands.&amp;#191; This is mutually beneficial to ED&amp;apos;s own mission to &amp;#191;promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness&amp;#191; by inspiring more of tomorrow&amp;apos;s workforce to pursue STEM-related subjects and fields. This work will be evaluated by a professional evaluator which is integrated into this plan. A. Hands on the Land network agrees to: &amp;#191; Select and support 5 NPS units within the HOL network that will provide afterschool STEM opportunities to BIE tribal schools that are 21st CCLC grantees; &amp;#191; Provide a list of points of contact for each participating state and site to coordinate training, evaluation, and student work submission to ED; &amp;#191; Provide environmental monitoring and citizen science training to 21 CCLC site staff members and park unit staff; &amp;#191; In collaboration with NPS, create and deliver blended professional development for sites and park units around environmental monitoring and citizen science that reflect best practices for training. In person and online training sessions will begin in November 2014; &amp;#191; Develop and/or expand monitoring and citizen science projects for park units and partner 21 CCLC sites. &amp;#191; Collaborate with NPS in selecting, designing and implementing an evaluation of the program&amp;#191;s effectiveness to be accomplished by an external evaluator; &amp;#191; Develop best practice guidelines or standards for student environmental monitoring and citizen science participation to build capacity for educational excellence across the network; &amp;#191; Expand HOL&amp;#191;s online presence by developing or expanding monitoring projects, mentoring, linking within the Internet social networks and within federal agency websites. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: NPS will continue to implement a STEM program that draws from science based monitoring work and similar activities that are ongoing in national parks. Specifically, NPS will: &amp;#191; Collaborate with NEEF and HOL to determine selection criteria for external evaluator and input towards final approval of external evaluator. &amp;#191; Coordinate biweekly calls with NEEF to discuss coordination, progress, challenges and associated mitigation strategies; and formally review performance data (Cost, Technical, Schedule) on a monthly basis. &amp;#191; Modify existing programs and associated curriculum materials (educator guides, rubrics, student instructions) as needed to emphasize STEM skills, address 21st CCLC program objectives and meet the needs of 21st CCLC partner sites. &amp;#191; Provide technical support and professional development to participating NPS HOL sites collaborating with ED&amp;apos;s 21st CCLC program. Assist participating 21st CCLC sites with integrating HOL and their local national park into programming. &amp;#191; Develop a collaborative citizen science project to be undertaken by each park and its partner 21st CCLC site. One example would be to have students help expand the scope and reach of environmental monitoring that is ongoing in many of our national parks. Water quality monitoring, ground level ozone monitoring and conducting inventories of living species are examples of monitoring projects. &amp;#191; Provide 21st CCLC sites with regular opportunities to interact in person with NPS STEM experts at their local partner park. NPS will work with ED, HOL, and the 21st CCLC sites to determine an engagement schedule that is mutually beneficial. &amp;#191; Select exemplary student work to showcase in media advisories and on nps.gov SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable.

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters, Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) will be releasing an umbrella NASA Research Announcement (NRA) titled &amp;quot;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion-2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015)&amp;quot; in October 2014. The NRA will be accessible from the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) website, (http://nspires.nasaprs.com ) by linking through the menu listing &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot;, and then selecting &amp;quot;Open Solicitations&amp;quot; and finally selecting &amp;quot;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion-2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015).&amp;quot; Under SpaceTech-REDDI-2015, proposals will be solicited through Appendices which will be issued as technology topics are defined and funding is made available for new opportunities. Once new Appendices are released, interested parties will be able to access them by clicking through the Open S olicitations link, then selecting &amp;quot;NRA NNH15ZOA001N&amp;quot;, and then selecting &amp;quot;List of Open Program Elements&amp;quot;. It is anticipated that this umbrella solicitation (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015) will be open for one year (through October 2015) and follow-up umbrella SpaceTech-REDDI solicitations will be issued annually at about the same time. The STMD portfolio supports a combination of early-stage studies, for assessing the feasibility of entirely new technologies (which corresponds to a technology readiness level (TRL) range from 1 to 3); maturing feasible technologies through rapid competitive development and ground-based testing (TRL 3-5); and flight demonstrations in relevant environments to complete the final steps prior to mission infusion (TRL 5-7). This technological diversity results in a sustainable pipeline of revolutionary concepts. STMD seeks aggressive technology development efforts that may require undertaking significant technical challenges and risk to achieve a higher potential payoff. The following STMD programs will be included in the SpaceTech-REDDI-2015 umbrella solicitation: * NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program focuses on visionary aeronautics and space system concepts. TRL Range: 1-3 -- Appendix A1: NIAC Phase I Call for Proposals -- Appendix A2: NIAC Phase II Call for Proposals * Space Technology Research Grants (STRGP) Program engages academia in innovative research in advanced space technology. TRL Range: 1-3 -- Appendix B1: Early Career Faculty (ECF) -- Appendix B2: Early Stage Innovations (ESI) * Game Changing Development (GCD) Program focuses on maturing advanced space technologies that may lead to entirely new approaches for the Agency&amp;apos;s future space missions. TRL Range: 3-5 -- Appendix C1: Game Changing Technology Topic TBD -- Appendix C2: Game Changing Technology Topic TBD -- Appendix C3: Game Changing Technology Topic TBD -- Appendix C4: Game Changing Technology Topic TBD * Technology Demonstration Missions (TDM) Program seeks to mature laboratory-proven technologies to flight-ready status. TRL Range: 5-7 -- Appendix D1: Topic TBD * Small Spacecraft Technology (SST) Program develops and demonstrates subsystem technologies and new mission capabilities for small spacecraft. TRL Range: 3-7 -- Appendix E1: Small Spacecraft Technology Development and Demonstration -- Appendix E2: Smallsat Technology Partnerships * Flight Opportunities Program (FOP) facilitates low-cost access to suborbital environments for a broad range of innovators as a means of advancing space technology development and supporting the evolving entrepreneurial commercial space industry. TRL Range: 5-7 -- Appendix F1: FOP Technology Topic TBD Additional information about the STMD Programs is available at http://www.nasa.gov/spacetech . The SpaceTech-REDDI-2015 solicitation will contain target release dates for the Appendices that will be solicited in that year. To the greatest extent practicable, participation will be open to all categories of organizations, domestic and foreign, including industry, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, NASA Centers, and other Government agencies. Foreign entities may also partner with US proposers, but only without the exchange of funding. The Appendices will provide details of the solicited opportunities including: specific scope of the work solicited, anticipated budget for new awards, number of awards anticipated, notice of intent and proposal due dates, and specific instructions about proposal content and evaluation criteria. The number and value of awards will depend on the availability of funds and the quality of proposals received. This is a broad agency announcement as specified in FAR 35.016 and NFS 1835.016. Notwithstanding the posting of this opportunity at FedBizOpps.gov and Grants.gov, NASA reserves the right to determine the appropriate award instrument for each proposa l selected pursuant to the NRA. The individual Program Officers and assigned Contracting Officers will be listed in the each Appendix. Information concerning general NRA policies and procedures may be found in the Guidebook for Proposers Responding to a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) or Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN), May 2014 Edition located at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/nraguidebook/proposer2014.pdf Proposals must be submitted electronically using either NASA&amp;apos;s proposal data system, NSPIRES (http://nspires.nasaprs.com ) or Grants.gov. Each electronic proposal system places requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the electronic proposal system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend on submitting proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. Interested proposers should monitor the NSPIRES website or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for release of the Space Tech-REDDI-2015 umbrella solicitation and Appendices. Further questions concerning the Space Tech-REDDI-2015 solicitation may be directed to Bonnie James, STMD Senior Investment Strategist at E-mail: HQ-STMD-SpaceTech-REDDI@mail.nasa.gov . Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and may also be included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. </Description>

        <Description>Introduction: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an Agency of the Department of Agriculture, works with private landowners through conservation planning and assistance designed to benefit soil, water, air, plants, and animals that result in productive lands and healthy ecosystems. NRCS&amp;apos;s natural resources conservation programs help land owners reduce soil erosion, enhance water supplies, improve water quality, increase wildlife habitat, and reduce damages caused by floods and other natural disasters. Background: In the Lake Tahoe Basin, which spans portions of two counties in California and two counties and one rural area in Nevada, a major resource concern is water quality and the alarming decline in the clarity of Lake Tahoe. Experts estimate that approximately 72% the fine sediment that enters the Lake originates from urban area runoff.Single-family residential parcels that have been &amp;#147;hardened&amp;#148; by impervious surfaces such as roads, driveways, and rooftops contribute sediment and nutrients to Lake Tahoe at an accelerated rate, impairing water quality. Local regulations require that all existing single-family residential properties will be retrofitted with Best Management Practices (BMP&amp;#146;s) designed to infiltrate runoff from a 20 year (1 inch per hour) storm event, on-site. BMP&amp;#146;s may include paving driveways and parking pads, infiltration trenches and dry wells, adequate vegetation cover and stabilized slopes. Applicants will be responsible for working in conjunction with NRCS to provide technical assistance through the Community Watershed Partnership program as described in the statement of work.NRCS expects to award one cooperative agreement (one in California and one in Nevada) based on proposals submitted and benefits derived for the current fiscal year. The funding ceiling available for the current fiscal year is: $350,000 for the California side of the Lake Tahoe Basin. Any agreements resulting from this solicitation will have a one-year base period. Activities under this cooperative agreement(s) will be carried out from approximately January 30, 2012 through February 28, 2013. Scope of Work: The successful applicant will: 1. Complete a minimum of 233 &amp;#145;Site Evaluation Plans&amp;#146; and 266 unique APN tech assists.While support will target selected watersheds, a minimum of 25% of the project will support basin wide requests for providing assistance for the tasks mentioned above. &amp;#147;Site Evaluation Plans&amp;#146; are site specific plans, in compliance with all local and state regulations, to meet the objectives of the &amp;#145;Best Management Practice&amp;#146; Retrofit Program (BMP) in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Each site plan will be based on activities such as, but not limited to making field visits to perform inventory and evaluation, recording measurements and calculations, analyzing data, prescribing appropriate conservation practices (and alternatives, where feasible), and recording the property owner&amp;#146;s record of decision.Site Evaluation Plans will follow a standard format as provided by NRCS, be maintained on a computer database, be made available to NRCS electronically, and the electronic version will be compatible with Microsoft Access. Copies of the Site Evaluation Plans will also be provided to the property owner. As legal provisions are met, data will be forwarded to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.Site Evaluation format includes the following components: customer contact information, GIS derived environmental data, technical assistance notes, a Site Map with all pertinent features recorded to analyze storm water runoff from impervious surfaces, a list of recommended treatments, a Site Drawing showing recommended BMP treatments, photos documenting pre-installation of BMP conditions, and calculations used to determine the amount of runoff generated from impervious surfaces. These calculations are used to size recommended practices for BMP Retrofit. A letter to the homeowner is also generated, explaining the recommendations and procedures for completing their project.2. Develop and implement an education and outreach plan, commensurate with the number of stakeholders in a minimum of two target areas.The program must be approved by NRCS and may include such things as workshops, media articles and other public events, as well as meeting with individual clients.3. Collect and analyze information through surveys, personal contact, or other means to assess the needs of the community and provide direction for the program.A minimum of two watersheds or areas will be targeted through Community Watershed Partnership in California. Community engagement is a vital component of the program. The successful applicant will work with the NRCS to host community forums, develop website content, and develop and process community surveys. The successful applicant will participate in interagency meetings to coordinate delivery of the Community Watershed Partnership program as necessary.4. Submit quarterly reports of progress tracking progress on all tasks and submit a year-end report documenting accomplishments. 5. Create a report for each watershed or area on the accomplishments of the Community Watershed Partnership as well as goals and strategies for conservation of the watershed or community area. This document will be for public distribution. All services provided in conservation planning, conservation practice application or verification, and other technical assistance must meet USDA-NRCS standards and specifications as set forth in the NRCS regulations. (For more information on these regulations see: www.nrcs.usda.gov) NRCS will be substantially involved in carrying out the work covered by this cooperative agreement. NRCS will also provide a representative to participate in the planning and management of the cooperative agreement and coordinate activities. NRCS will provide oversight and as necessary, agency software, forms, and other resource information.Evaluation Criteria &amp;#150; Listed in Descending Order of Importance1. Organizational Capabilities &amp;#150; the adequacy of organizational resources and experience to successfully manage and perform the project. This includes background and experiences of staff that will completes the tasks in a professional manner and reflect a positive image of NRCS. 2. Knowledge of conservation issues in the Lake Tahoe Basin and NRCS practice standards and specifications related to those conservation issues.3. Ability to work with NRCS and watershed stakeholders on conservation issues.4. Knowledge of local and State ordinances and regulations related to implementing conservation practices in the Lake Tahoe Basin.Each proposal will be evaluated and ranked in accordance with the evaluation factors listed above. Discussions may be held with each applicant regarding the applicant&amp;#146;s experience, the proposed plan of action or alternative courses of action. After selection, NRCS will enter into negotiations with the selected applicant to discuss cost and the terms and conditions of the cooperative agreement to be signed. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to build upon civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS), which is based on international standards, and being implemented in three Districts located in the Northern, Central and Southern regions of Malawi. The 3 District demonstration project was supported by funding from the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) under a Strategic Information Central Initiative. Under this initiative, the project targeted 3 Districts, and the National level, for the following baseline achievements: (1) National and District rapid assessments, (2) a National strategic plan, (3) trainings and capacity development, and (4) process and tool improvements. Building upon this baseline work, the FOA aims to strengthen the 3 District demonstration and further scale operations to 15 new Districts over a 5-year period. Achieving scale requires sustaining existing activities and introducing new ones aimed at strengthening Malawi&amp;#146;s CRVS organizational and governance infrastructure; improving facility and community based civil registration, vital statistics production using an electronic system; and advancing systems-wide advocacy and key partner collaborations. The expected outcomes of this FOA are: improved sustainability of CRVS operations, increased birth and death registrations, and the timely reporting and use of vital statistics.</Description>

        <Description>Introduction: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an Agency of the Department of Agriculture, works with private landowners through conservation planning and assistance designed to benefit soil, water, air, plants, and animals that result in productive lands and healthy ecosystems. NRCS&amp;apos;s natural resources conservation programs help land owners reduce soil erosion, enhance water supplies, improve water quality, increase wildlife habitat, and reduce damages caused by floods and other natural disasters. Background: In the Lake Tahoe Basin, which spans portions of two counties in California and two counties and one rural area in Nevada, a major resource concern is water quality and the alarming decline in the clarity of Lake Tahoe. Experts estimate that approximately 72% the fine sediment that enters the Lake originates from urban area runoff.Single-family residential parcels that have been &amp;#147;hardened&amp;#148; by impervious surfaces such as roads, driveways, and rooftops contribute sediment and nutrients to Lake Tahoe at an accelerated rate, impairing water quality. Local regulations require that all existing single-family residential properties will be retrofitted with Best Management Practices (BMP&amp;#146;s) designed to infiltrate runoff from a 20 year (1 inch per hour) storm event, on-site. BMP&amp;#146;s may include paving driveways and parking pads, infiltration trenches and dry wells, adequate vegetation cover and stabilized slopes. Applicants will be responsible for working in conjunction with NRCS to provide technical assistance through the Community Watershed Partnership program as described in the statement of work.NRCS expects to award one cooperative agreement (one in California and one in Nevada) based on proposals submitted and benefits derived for the current fiscal year. The funding ceiling available for the current fiscal year is: $175,000 for the Nevada side of the Lake Tahoe Basin. Any agreements resulting from this solicitation will have a one-year base period. Activities under this cooperative agreement(s) will be carried out from approximately January 30, 2012 through February 28, 2013. Scope of Work: The successful applicant will: 1. Complete a minimum of 116 &amp;#145;Site Evaluation Plans&amp;#146; and 133 unique APN tech assists.While support will target selected watersheds, a minimum of 25% of the project will support basin wide requests for providing assistance for the tasks mentioned above. &amp;#147;Site Evaluation Plans&amp;#146; are site specific plans, in compliance with all local and state regulations, to meet the objectives of the &amp;#145;Best Management Practice&amp;#146; Retrofit Program (BMP) in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Each site plan will be based on activities such as, but not limited to making field visits to perform inventory and evaluation, recording measurements and calculations, analyzing data, prescribing appropriate conservation practices (and alternatives, where feasible), and recording the property owner&amp;#146;s record of decision.Site Evaluation Plans will follow a standard format as provided by NRCS, be maintained on a computer database, be made available to NRCS electronically, and the electronic version will be compatible with Microsoft Access. Copies of the Site Evaluation Plans will also be provided to the property owner. As legal provisions are met, data will be forwarded to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.Site Evaluation format includes the following components: customer contact information, GIS derived environmental data, technical assistance notes, a Site Map with all pertinent features recorded to analyze storm water runoff from impervious surfaces, a list of recommended treatments, a Site Drawing showing recommended BMP treatments, photos documenting pre-installation of BMP conditions, and calculations used to determine the amount of runoff generated from impervious surfaces. These calculations are used to size recommended practices for BMP Retrofit. A letter to the homeowner is also generated, explaining the recommendations and procedures for completing their project.2. Develop and implement an education and outreach plan, commensurate with the number of stakeholders in the targeted area.The program must be approved by NRCS and may include such things as workshops, media articles and other public events, as well as meeting with individual clients.3. Collect and analyze information through surveys, personal contact, or other means to assess the needs of the community and provide direction for the program.Community engagement is a vital component of the Community Watershed Program. The successful applicant will work with the NRCS to host community forums, develop website content, and develop and process community surveys. The successful applicant will participate in interagency meetings to coordinate delivery of the Community Watershed Partnership program as necessary.4. Submit quarterly reports of progress tracking progress on all tasks and submit a year-end report documenting accomplishments. 5. Create a report on the accomplishments of the Community Watershed Partnership as well as goals and strategies for conservation of the watershed or community area. This document will be for public distribution. All services provided in conservation planning, conservation practice application or verification, and other technical assistance must meet USDA-NRCS standards and specifications as set forth in the NRCS regulations. (For more information on these regulations see: www.nrcs.usda.gov) NRCS will be substantially involved in carrying out the work covered by this cooperative agreement. NRCS will also provide a representative to participate in the planning and management of the cooperative agreement and coordinate activities. NRCS will provide oversight and as necessary, agency software, forms, and other resource information.Evaluation Criteria &amp;#150; Listed in Descending Order of Importance1. Organizational Capabilities &amp;#150; the adequacy of organizational resources and experience to successfully manage and perform the project. This includes background and experiences of staff that will completes the tasks in a professional manner and reflect a positive image of NRCS. 2. Knowledge of conservation issues in the Lake Tahoe Basin and NRCS practice standards and specifications related to those conservation issues.3. Ability to work with NRCS and watershed stakeholders on conservation issues.4. Knowledge of local and State ordinances and regulations related to implementing conservation practices in the Lake Tahoe Basin.Each proposal will be evaluated and ranked in accordance with the evaluation factors listed above. Discussions may be held with each applicant regarding the applicant&amp;#146;s experience, the proposed plan of action or alternative courses of action. After selection, NRCS will enter into negotiations with the selected applicant to discuss cost and the terms and conditions of the cooperative agreement to be signed.</Description>

        <Description>Information systems are foundational to PEPFAR activities. Over the past eight years, counseling and testing have identified millions of people with HIV/AIDS and anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has extended the life span of people living with HIV (PLWH). Due to this impact, electronic systems are essential to manage the volume of patient data. Electronic medical records (EMR), laboratory information systems (LIS), and other patient-level systems are being implemented. This growth has created a greater need to standardize functional and technical requirements for health information systems, design systems that facilitate and enable interoperability between different systems (e.g., EMRs, LIS, HRIS, pharmacy, and others), facilitate linkage and de-duplication of records, strengthen data quality and completeness, and data security, privacy, and confidentiality measures. This work will be done partly through innovative technical solutions. Most of the work will be accomplished through strengthening strategic planning and governance, developing in-country human capacity, and on-going evaluation of health information system implementations to identify effective informatics practices, efficiencies gained, health impacts and increased sustainability and country ownership. The goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support the design, development, implementation and use of health information systems (HIS), such as electronic medical records (EMR), human resource information systems (HRIS), district health information systems (DHIS), electronic case-based surveillance systems and health and other health-related information systems used to implement or monitor PEPFAR programs. The FOA will support the development of policy, governance, and architecture needed to implement information systems, including those needed to standardize, exchange and share data needed to improve health through evidence-based decisions. Key components of this mechanism will address issues of interoperability, human and infrastructure capacity development, planning and policy, and evaluation of the system and cost-effectiveness of HIS. </Description>

        <Description>As PEPFAR focuses greater attention on country ownership and the transition of full responsibility for the HIV response to partner governments, there is a need to capacitate PEPFAR host countries to be able to independently manage and sustain HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs. However, gaps in leadership and management capabilities exist and can seriously derail these efforts. Conversely, enhanced management and leadership can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of systems, maximizing the use of scarce resources. Building on work accomplished through previous capacity building efforts, this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) aims to enhance capacity of host country governments to independently manage and lead an effective response to their HIV epidemics. The awardee will work with host country governments in up to 16 PEPFAR supported countries and regional offices that may include Ethiopia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Guyana, Haiti, Zambia, Botswana, Caribbean or Central America regions at the national and sub-national levels through a peer-to-peer model for technical assistance (TA) delivery in which those delivering technical assistance have worked in comparable public sector positions and have expertise in planning, implementing, and evaluating public sector responses to the HIV epidemic. This effective approach to capacity building, successfully utilized in past PEPFAR-supported capacity building programs, focuses on: assessing needs and identification of gaps in leadership and management competencies; developing new or modifying existing tools to address the gaps identified; working with host countries on the implementation of these tools; developing and using metrics to measure increases in competencies, as well as impact over time; and using data for evidence-based decision making. The awardee will work directly with host country governments and 2-3 local partners per country throughout the five year award period to deliver peer-to-peer technical assistance. By the end of the project period, it is expected that the awardee will have achieved the following goals listed below. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the NCI Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) is to provide support and protected time (three, four, or five years) for an intensive, supervised career development experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences leading to research independence. Awards are not renewable and they are not transferable from one principal investigator (PI) to another. The Diversity Training Branch (DTB) of the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), invites career development award applications (K01) from individuals representative of groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in health-related science, who have been recipients of an NIH Research Supplement to Promote Diversity Award, any Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (individual F31/F32 or institutional T32), or can demonstrate that they have been supported in a mentored capacity within any research grant equivalent to an NIH peer-reviewed research grant (e.g., American Cancer Society [ACS] research grant). Candidates with clinical degrees (e.g., MD) may wish to consider the NCI Mentored Clinical Scientist Award to Promote Diversity Award (K08) and candidates interested in patient-oriented research may wish to consider the NCI Mentored Patient-Oriented Research to Promote Diversity Award (K23) as more appropriate alternatives relative to their stage of development and career goals. </Description>

        <Description>The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) hereby requests applications for assistance to result in the award of multiple grant agreements under the Highways for LIFE Technology Partnerships Program. The focus of the 2012 Technology Partnership Program solicitation is to work with the highway industry to accelerate the adoption of promising innovations that 1) have the potential to directly reduce crashes or crash severity or 2) innovations that significantly enhance decision-making relative to the deployment of treatments to reduce crashes, crash severity and the understanding of the effectiveness of the treatments. The program is intended to provide the financial impetus to demonstrate a proven non-highway related innovation or to refine or improve existing innovations that have been demonstrated but not become adopted as routine or common practice in the highway industry.</Description>

        <Description>The NOAA Marine Debris Program, authorized in the Marine Debris Research, Prevention, and Reduction Act (33 U.S.C. 1951 et seq.) as amended by the Marine Debris Act Amendments of 2012 (P.L. 112-213, Title VI, Sec. 603, 126 Stat. 1576, December 20, 2012), provides funding to catalyze the implementation of locally-driven, community-based marine debris prevention, assessment, and removal projects that will benefit coastal habitat, waterways, and NOAA trust resources. Funding for this purpose comes through the NOAA Marine Debris Program as appropriations to the Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service. The funding is, in part, administered through a grant competition with the NOAA Restoration Center&amp;#146;s Community-based Restoration Program. Projects awarded through this grant competition have strong on-the-ground habitat restoration components involving the removal of marine debris, including derelict fishing gear. Projects also provide benefits to coastal communities, and create long-term ecological habitat improvements for NOAA trust resources. Through this solicitation NOAA identifies marine debris removal projects, strengthens the development and implementation of habitat restoration through community-based marine debris removal, and fosters awareness of the effects of marine debris to further the conservation of living marine resource habitats, as well as contribute to the understanding of debris types and impacts. Successful proposals through this solicitation will be funded through cooperative agreements. Funding of up to $2,000,000 is expected to be available for Community-based Marine Debris Removal Project Grants in FY2015. Typical awards will range from $50,000 to $150,000.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement serves as a Request for Proposals for the Webless Migratory Game Bird Program (WMGBP) for Fiscal Year 2015 (FY2015). The primary purpose of the WMGBP is to support activities that will improve management of the 16 species of migratory shore and upland game birds (MSUGBs, Table 1) in North America. The Migratory Shore and Upland Game Bird Support Task Force, organized through the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, developed a set of priority information needs by convening a series of workshops. The workshops included broad representation (i.e., federal and state agencies, conservation organizations, and university researchers) familiar with the research and management needs for these species. Priorities identified at the workshops (see Appendix A for a list of priorities) should be used to guide proposal development and will be used by the review committee to select projects that address these priority information needs. Priorities are available at or by contacting the program manager listed in Section IV. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will oversee the WMGBP including administration of grants, purchase orders, and contracts for projects.</Description>

        <Description>This initiative invites applications for support of analyses of existing data (or data whose collection will be completed by one year from the date of this FOA) from older populations with high prevalence of mobility disability, low muscle mass, and low muscle strength (weakness). Interventions targeted at low muscle mass and/or weakness may prevent or reduce mobility disability in some older persons. To assess the efficacy of such interventions against mobility disability, there is a need to test them in persons in whom muscle mass and/or strength are (or will be) sufficiently low to be likely contributors to disability. Thus there is a need for evidence-based diagnostic cut-points to define target populations for treatments. Applications submitted in response to this FOA should support development and evaluation of diagnostic cut-points based on analyses of relations of mobility disability to muscle mass and strength. These analyses should extend and expand upon analyses to date on this topic, which have identified and proposed cut-points for low muscle mass and weakness. Studies supported through this FOA should clarify relations between muscle mass and strength, impaired physical function, and mobility disability, and their implications for setting diagnostic cut-points, through analyses of data from populations with substantially more individuals with mobility disability than were included in previous analyses. Applicants are encouraged to consider combining datasets from multiple populations that contain information on all of the following: at least one objective measure of muscle mass at the same anatomic site(s) common to all included studies, at least one direct measure of muscle strength common to included data sets, gait speed, and self-reported mobility status in populations of older adults. Analyses of relations to other measures of strength, muscle power, and physical performance (e.g., Short Physical Performance Battery), and mobility disability are encouraged. </Description>

        <Description>Health centers improve the health of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services. Health Center Program grants support a variety of community-based and patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that serve an increasing number of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved. Individually, each health center plays an important role in the goal of ensuring access to services, and combined, they have had a critical impact on the health care status of medically underserved and vulnerable populations throughout the United States and its territories. The Health Center Program targets the Nation&amp;#191;s neediest populations and geographic areas by currently funding approximately 1,300 health centers that operate over 9,000 service delivery sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In 2013, more than 21 million patients, including medically underserved and uninsured patients, received comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services through the Health Center Program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Health Center Program&amp;#191;s Service Area Competition (SAC). The FOA details the SAC eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations seeking a grant for operational support of an announced service area under the Health Center Program, including Community Health Center (CHC &amp;#191; section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC &amp;#191; section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH &amp;#191; section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC &amp;#191; section 330(i)). For the purposes of this document, the term &amp;#191;health center&amp;#191; refers to the diverse types of health centers (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and /or PHPC) supported under section 330 of the PHS Act, as amended.</Description>

        <Description>NMFS, in coordination with the New England Fishery Management Council (Council), is soliciting Atlantic Sea Scallop (scallop) research proposals to utilize scallop Total Allowable Catch (TAC) that has been set-aside by the Council to fund scallop research endeavors through the 2015/2016 Atlantic Sea Scallop Research Set-Aside (RSA) Program. No federal funds are provided for research under this notification. Rather, proceeds generated from the sale of RSA quota will be used to fund research activities and compensate vessels that participate in research activities and/or harvest set-aside quota. Projects funded under the Scallop RSA Program must enhance the knowledge of the scallop fishery resource or contribute to the body of information on which scallop management decisions are made. Priority will be given to scallop research proposals that investigate research priorities identified by the Council, which are detailed under the Program Priorities section of this announcement.</Description>

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is releasing an Astrophysics Explorer 2014 Mission of Opportunity (MO) Program Element Appendix (PEA) (NNH12ZDA006O-APEXMO2) as Amendment 9 to the NASA Second Stand Alone Missions of Opportunity Notice (SALMON-2) Announcement of Opportunity (NNH12ZDA006O). The Astrophysics Explorers Program conducts Principal Investigator (PI)-led space science investigations relevant to SMD&amp;apos;s astrophysics programs. Astrophysics Explorer investigations must address NASA&amp;apos;s strategic objective to discover how the universe works, explore how it began and evolved, and search for life on planets around other stars. This solicitation will be open from September 17, 2014, through December 18, 2014. Upon the release date, the full text of the PEA will be available electronically at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ . A preproposal conference will be held in early October; see http://explorers.larc.nasa.gov/APSMEX for details. NASA will release simultaneously the Astrophysics Explorer 2014 Small Explorer Announcement of Opportunity (NNH14ZDA013O) and a solicitation for Astrophysics Explorer U.S. Participating Investigators (APEX USPI) through the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2014 (ROSES-14) NASA Research Announcement (NNH14ZDA001N). Participation is open to all categories of organizations or institutions, U.S. or non-U.S., including educational, industrial, and not-for-profit institutions, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), NASA Centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and other Government agencies. NASA expects to select one or two Astrophysics Explorer Missions of Opportunity to proceed into Phase B and subsequent mission phases. If multiple selectable missions are proposed with combined costs within the available funding, NASA may select more than one proposed investigation. This PEA incorporates a number of changes relative to the previous Explorers Mission of Opportunity SALMON-2 PEA and to the Draft 2014 Astrophysics Explorer Mission of Opportunity PEA. All proposers must read the SALMON-2 AO and this PEA carefully, and all proposals must comply with the requirements, constraints, and guidelines contained within the SALMON-2 AO and this PEA. Comments and questions may be addressed in writing or by E-mail to: Dr. Wilton T. Sanders, Astrophysics Explorers Program Scientist, Astrophysics Division, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: wilton.t.sanders@nasa.gov (subject line to read &amp;quot;Explorer MO PEA&amp;quot;); Phone: 202-358-1319; FAX: 202-358-3062. Responses to all inquiries will be answered by E-mail and also posted to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) location of the Explorer Program Acquisition website at http://explorers.larc.nasa.gov/APSMEX/ ; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. This notice constitutes a NASA Research Announcement as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). </Description>

The ultimate goal of the FOA is to foster the planning for multidisciplinary Global Environmental and Occupational Health Hubs (GEOHealth Hubs), based in LMICs, that will lead collaborative research and training for focal environmental and occupational health issues in several core science areas, including fields such as epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, environmental science, industrial hygiene, systems science, toxicology, behavioral science, and implementation science. Focal environmental and occupational health areas, as well as core science areas, for each consortium will be selected by the applicants, building upon preexisting strengths within the proposed consortium and addressing priority public health needs in the region. </Description>

Eleven (11) qualified participants will take part in a 47-week-long program in support of projects and locations where the NPS Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) and other NPS programs are providing technical assistance. Each Fellow will gain an apprenticeship opportunity that includes efforts to engage young people in projects that support community-led natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation projects. Local-area recruitment will be assumed. This task is an ongoing and long-term project where the need for incremental funding and additional time is anticipated but will be subject to funding availability. Subsequent requests for additional time or funding associated with this task must receive prior approval of the Awarding Officer and will be authorized by modification to this Agreement. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT CL agrees to: 1. Recruit, appoint, place and support qualified individuals who are acceptable to the supervising NPS staff.

Assist in recruiting and welcoming candidates who have strong interest and potential to contribute to these projects, and have attained qualifications and experience that would allow full performance in the near term. 3. Provide a stipend for subsistence to each participant, an allowance to defray daily commuting expenses, a travel allowance to provide funding for duty-related travel for project work and training opportunities, a housing stipend appropriate to the cost of local housing, and injury and liability insurance coverage. 4. Plan and deliver, in close coordination with NPS personnel, appropriate training to participants and key NPS staff. 5. Develop tools and resources, in close coordination with NPS personnel, for use in attracting and retaining participation and interest by youth and young adults in community projects in ways other than the subject Fellowship program, including production of print, online, and other media that furthers the purpose of this agreement. 6. Manage and carry out all administrative functions, and maintain all administrative records, as necessary for the efficient and professional conduct of the work performed pursuant to this Task Agreement. 7. Seek out, and be responsive to, all additional opportunities from sources other than NPS to leverage the financial resources made available for these purposes, and/or to enhance the range of experiences and opportunities that NPS is capable of making available to the Fellows. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Determine the acceptability of applicants provided by CL for Fellowships. 2. Provide experienced and seasoned staff to serve as mentors to the Fellows, and provide all needed guidance, identify tasks to be performed, manage and prioritize work, review all documents, and give daily supervision. 3.

        <Description>The Middle East Partnership Initiative seeks to establish a network that connects all alumni of MEPI-funded projects. Currently, there are over 11,000 MEPI alumni and this number is growing daily. The MEPI Alumni Network will connect a group of local MEPI Alumni Chapters that together provide coverage for the entire region where MEPI is active. This Network is designed to support and strengthen MEPI alumni and their commitment to civic engagement, creating an environment where MEPI alumni can work together to make positive contributions to their communities and bring positive change to the region using and expanding upon the skills acquired through their various MEPI experiences. Our goal is to provide 100% coverage for the entire Middle East and North Africa region to include all countries listed under &amp;#145;eligible countries&amp;#146; in this program announcement.Eligible Countries:MEPI is seeking to establish Local Chapters of the MEPI Alumni Network in the following countries: Algeria, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. Applicants may apply to establish a single chapter representing multiple countries, particularly in the Gulf, but only one application per organization will be accepted. Eligible Applicants:Eligible applicants who may apply for this funding opportunity include any registered non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and institutions of higher education (such as colleges and universities). All organizations, U.S. &amp;#150; based or foreign, are invited to apply for this RFA. Applicants may apply to establish a single Chapter representing multiple countries, but must demonstrate an on-the-ground presence in each country covered in the application. This is the third solicitation for applications to the &amp;#147;Establishing Local MEPI Alumni Chapters&amp;#148; Request for Applications (RFA). The previous RFAs were open for applications from April 15 thru May 30, 2011 and from June 21 thru July 17, 2011. Through these first two opportunities, MEPI was able to establish Local Chapters in Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, the West Bank and Gaza, and Yemen. This third solicitation seeks applications to support chapters in those countries where they were not established through the previous announcements. If you submitted an application to launch a Local Chapter in Algeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and/or the UAE under either of the previous RFAs, you may submit a new or revised application in response to this RFA. </Description>

        <Description>The purposes of the NCIPC extramural violence prevention research program are to:&amp;#149;Build the scientific base for the prevention of violence by helping to expand and advance our understanding of the primary prevention of interpersonal and self-directed violence. &amp;#149;Encourage professionals from a wide spectrum of disciplines of epidemiology, behavioral and social sciences, medicine, biostatistics, public health, health economics, law, and criminal justice to perform research in order to prevent violence more effectively.&amp;#149;Encourage investigators to propose research that involves the development and testing of primary prevention strategies as well as research on methods to enhance the adoption and maintenance of effective strategies among individuals, organizations, or communities.NCIPC is soliciting investigator-initiated research that will expand and advance the understanding of how best to disseminate and implement evidence-based strategies, programs, and policies. NCIPC is also soliciting research in areas where less is known about what works to prevent violence such as teen dating violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and suicidal behavior.</Description>

        <Description>USDOL/ILAB intends to award up to $ 1 million for a cooperative agreement(s) to one or more qualifying organizations for a project to develop a Child Labor Beneficiary Monitoring Toolkit. The project will provide guidelines and resources for developing a direct beneficiary monitoring system (to track service provision and children&amp;#146;s education and labor status) for organizations implementing child labor elimination projects. The toolkit will include the following: (1) guidelines and tools on the types of data needed to effectively track service provision and children&amp;#146;s labor and education status, (2) guidelines on data sources and frequency of data collection, and (3) guidelines and tools for establishing a well-functioning data collection and reporting system, including proper data storage and tabulation and analysis capabilities. Finally, the toolkit will (4) identify good/innovative practices and lessons learned in beneficiary monitoring, and provide a menu of options for operationalization of such a system (available software options, database systems, etc.) and the necessary parameters (requirements) of such a system and (5) provide a prototype electronic-based system that grantees may utilize for beneficiary monitoring.ILAB&amp;#146;s OCFT will technically manage cooperative agreement(s) awarded under this SCA, and USDOL&amp;#146;s Employment and Training Administration will administer the cooperative agreement(s). The duration of the project(s) funded by this SCA is three (3) years. The project start date will be negotiated upon award of individual cooperative agreement(s) but will be no later than December 31, 2014.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this program is to address significant disparities in Perinatal health including disparities experienced by Hispanics, American Indians, African-Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and immigrant populations. Differences in perinatal health indicators may occur by virtue of education, age of mother, income, disability, or living in rural/isolated areas. To address disparities and the factors contributing to them in these indicators, it is anticipated that the proposed scope of project services will cover the pregnancy and interconception phases for women and infants residing in the proposed project area. In order to promote longer interconception periods and prevent relapses of risk behaviors, the woman and infant are to be followed through the infant&amp;apos;s second year of life and/or two years following delivery.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Buildings Technology Office, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) number DE-FOA-0001168 entitled ?Deploying Solutions to Improve the Energy Efficiency of U.S. Commercial Buildings.? Through this FOA, DOE seeks to fund the scale-up of promising solutions to the market barriers that hinder the growth of energy efficiency in the commercial building sector. The objective of this funding is to build a path for market-ready solutions to be used at scale across the U.S. to improve building energy efficiency. In order for the Building Technologies Office Commercial Building Integration Program to meet DOE?s national energy efficiency goals for commercial buildings (20% improvement by 2020; 50% by 2030), the program has invested in the development of resources, tools, and solutions designed to help overcome these barriers to energy efficiency. DOE?s Commercial Building Integration Program is interested in funding proposals that deploy these resources and solutions, through successful existing programs or innovative new ones, to increase program effectiveness and increase energy savings in commercial buildings. The full Notice of Intent DE-FOA-0001194 is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE. Please do not submit questions or respond to this Notice of Intent. Prospective applicants to the FOA should begin developing partnerships, formulating ideas, and gathering data in anticipation of the issuance of this FOA. DOE plans to issue the FOA in or around the last calendar quarter in 2014. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system. </Description>

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE AND EARTH SCIENCES (ROSES) 2011 NNH11ZDA001N, entitled &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences - 2011 (ROSES-2011),&amp;quot; will be available on or about February 18, 2011, by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Open Solicitations.&amp;quot; This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals for supporting basic and applied research and technology across a broad range of Earth and space science program elements relevant to one or more of the following NASA Research Programs: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on April 29, 2011, and continue through April 30, 2012. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 18, 2011. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2012, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA can be found at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2011/.

        <Description>The SJS Program is designed to maintain and enhance each state&amp;#146;s capacity to address criminal justice issues through the collection and analysis of data. The program provides limited funds to coordinate statistical activities within the state, conduct research to estimate the impacts of legislative and policy changes, and serve as a liaison role to assist BJS with gathering data from respondent agencies in their states. Each application for funding under this program must specify the participating organizations in the state and the particular issues to be addressed. Each year, BJS announces specific topics for analysis and encourages applicants to give careful consideration to planning activities that fit within one or more of the designated topics (see section SJS Program Themes). If a SAC does not feel that any of the topics are relevant to its state, then it may identify a topic or statistical activity of critical importance to its jurisdiction.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this initiative is to support research in self-management focused across conditions. A recent report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) identifies the epidemic of chronic condition as the nations leading health challenge and calls for cross-cutting, coordinated public health actions for living well with chronic illness. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) addresses that recommendation by describing an initiative that focuses on self-management as a mainstream science in order to reduce the burden of chronic illnesses/conditions. Self-management is the ability of the individual, in conjunction with family, community, and healthcare professionals, to manage symptoms, treatments, lifestyle changes, and psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual consequences associated with a chronic illness or condition.</Description>

        <Description>The NIDCR will support R34 grants for the planning and design of clinical trials or biomarker clinical validation studies. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support activities to develop: the draft clinical protocol; the Clinical Investigators Brochure (or equivalent) if needed; tools for data and quality management, safety and operational oversight plans; recruitment and retention strategies; the study team; and other essential documents such as a draft Manual of Procedures that are necessary for the subsequent clinical trial or biomarker clinical validation study. The Clinical Trial or Biomarker Clinical Validation Study Planning Grant is not designed for the collection of preliminary data on the efficacy of the intervention (clinical or pre-clinical), or the collection of prospective data to support the rationale for a clinical trial or study. Evaluation of the potential subject population to determine its eligibility for participation in the future trial or biomarker validation study is allowed but not required. Planning grant activities for behavioral and social interventions may include pilot testing of the intervention during the R34 phase, thus a separate FOA (PAR-14-342) will support these types of interventional trials. </Description>

        <Description>Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that are built from and depend upon the synergy of computational and physical components. Emerging CPS will be coordinated, distributed, and connected, and must be robust and responsive. The CPS of tomorrow will need to far exceed the systems of today in capability, adaptability, resiliency, safety, security, and usability. Examples of the many CPS application areas include the smart electric grid, smart transportation, smart buildings, smart medical technologies, next-generation air traffic management, and advanced manufacturing. CPS will transform the way people interact with engineered systems, just as the Internet transformed the way people interact with information. However, these goals cannot be achieved without rigorous systems engineering.The December 2010 report of the President&amp;apos;s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Designing a Digital Future: Federally Funded Research and Development in Networking and Information Technology calls for continued investment in CPS research because of its scientific and technological importance as well as its potential impact on grand challenges in a number of sectors critical to U.S. security and competitiveness, including aerospace, automotive, chemical production, civil infrastructure, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, materials and transportation.We do not yet have a mature science to support systems engineering of high confidence CPS, and the consequences are profound. Traditional analysis tools are unable to cope with the full complexity of CPS or adequately predict system behavior. The present electric power grid, an ad hoc system, experiences blackouts over large regions, tripped by minor events that escalate with surprising speed into widespread power failures. This illustrates the limitations of the current science and technology, which do not enable us to conceptualize and design for the deep interdependencies among engineered systems and the natural world. At the same time, pressure to develop technologies such as renewable energy, wireless health, advanced manufacturing, smart materials, and electrified ground and air vehicles creates an unprecedented opportunity to rethink many important classes of systems.The goal of the CPS program is to develop the core system science needed to engineer complex cyber-physical systems upon which people can depend with high confidence. The program aims to foster a research community committed to advancing research and education in CPS and to transitioning CPS science and technology into engineering practice. By abstracting from the particulars of specific systems and application domains, the CPS program aims to reveal cross-cutting fundamental scientific and engineering principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements across all application sectors. To expedite and accelerate the realization of cyber-physical systems in a wide range of applications, the CPS program also supports the development of methods, tools, and hardware and software components based upon these cross-cutting principles, along with validation of the principles via prototypes and test beds.Three types of research and education projects will be considered, which differ in scope and goals:Breakthrough projects must offer a significant advance in fundamental CPS science, engineering and/or technology that has the potential to change the field. Funding for Breakthrough projects may be requested for a total of up to $750,000 for a period of up to 3 years.Synergy projects must demonstrate innovation at the intersection of multiple disciplines, to accomplish a clear goal that requires an integrated perspective spanning the disciplines. Funding for Synergy projects may be requested for a total of $750,001 to $2,000,000 for a period of 3 to 4 years.Frontiers projects must address clearly identified critical CPS challenges that cannot be achieved by a set of smaller projects. Funding may be requested for a total of $1,200,000 to $10,000,000 for a period of 4 to 5 years. Note that, due to the difference in goals and scope, the range for Frontiers projects overlaps with the range for Synergy projects.The CPS program is cooperating with other government agencies to support cyber-physical systems research that is relevant to their missions. Dear Colleague Letters will announce these opportunities as they arise.A more complete description of the CPS program is provided in Section II, Program Description, of this solicitation.</Description>

        <Description>NIH/NIAID, FDA/CDER and BARDA coordinate efforts to improve endpoints for clinical trials with new antivirals. Using endpoints originally established for clinical efficacy with oseltamivir has forced manufacturers to engage outpatient locations for enrollment of individuals with influenza-like-illness in large numbers, with very few individuals having complicated influenza that would benefit from antiviral treatment. The PHEMCE coordination has the goal to improve enrollment of high risk individuals such as those who present to the JHU Emergency Department, are identified as influenza virus positive by advanced rapid diagnostic testing, many of which are subsequently hospitalized. These patients can be treated early; thus providing a target population that can be more effectively monitored for clinical response to treatment.</Description>

        <Description>The Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) funds numerous research programs that collect environmental samples. Each year, thousands of these samples require analyses of environmental-level 14C abundances to determine the age of the samples. Sample types include sea water and a wide variety of other carbon-bearing materials. In order to process these samples and to provide research on new methods for 14C dating of oceanography-related samples, OCE supports the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (NOSAMS) facility. This solicitation seeks proposals to operate NOSAMS and provide necessary services to the ocean sciences research community.</Description>

        <Description>The DoD Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI), one element of the University Research Initiative (URI), is sponsored by the DoD research offices: the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Army Research Office (ARO), and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) (hereafter collectively referred to as &amp;quot;DoD agencies&amp;quot;).The MURI program supports basic research in science and engineering at U.S. institutions of higher education (hereafter referred to as &amp;quot;universities&amp;quot;) that is of potential interest to DoD. The program is focused on multidisciplinary research efforts where more than one traditional discipline interacts to provide rapid advances in scientific areas of interest to the DoD. As defined by the DoD, &amp;#147;basic research is systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. It includes all scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. It is farsighted high payoff research that provides the basis for technological progress.&amp;#148; (DoD 7000.14.R, vol. 2B, chap.5). DoD&amp;#146;s basic research program invests broadly in many specific fields to ensure that it has early cognizance of new scientific knowledge.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Non-federal partners are expected to contribute some funds though the amounts will vary by project.  A 1:1 match is desirable though not expected in all cases.  If there is more than one non-federal partner for a project than their total contribution for all partners will be combined as a cost-share.   If more than one project is funded with the same partner than the cost share would apply to the total for all of the cooperative projects that fiscal year.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), solicits grant applications proposing research projects on the advanced development of emerging molecular and cellular analysis technologies through technical/analytical validation in an appropriate cancer-relevant biological system or context. An emerging technology is defined as one that has passed the pilot developmental stage and shows promise, but has not yet been evaluated within the context of its intended use. If successful, these technologies would accelerate research in cancer biology, cancer treatment and diagnosis, cancer prevention, cancer control and epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. This FOA solicits projects where proof-of-principle of the proposed technology or methodology has been established and supportive preliminary data are available. Projects proposed to this FOA should reflect the potential to produce a major impact in a broad area of cancer-relevant research. Projects proposing to use established technologies where the novelty resides in the biological or clinical question being pursued are not appropriate for this solicitation as non-responsive and will not be reviewed. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), solicits grant applications proposing technically innovative feasibility studies focused on early stage development of technologies that address issues related to pre-analytical variations in the collection, processing, handling, and storage of cancer-relevant biospecimens or their derivatives. The overall goal is to develop technologies capable of interrogating and/or maximizing the quality and utility of biospecimens or samples derived from those biospecimens for downstream molecular analyses. This FOA will support the development of tools, devices, instrumentation, and associated methods to assess sample quality, preserve/protect sample integrity, and establish verification criteria for quality assessment/quality control and handling under diverse conditions. These technologies are expected to potentially accelerate and/or enhance research in cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and cancer health disparities, by reducing pre-analytical variations that affect biospecimen and/or sample quality. All projects must include quantitative milestones (i.e. technical metrics that determine whether the specific aims have been accomplished). </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the inception and development of early stage, highly innovative, technologies or emerging technologies with significant transformative potential that has not yet been explored in a cancer-relevant use. An emerging technology is defined (for the purpose of this FOA) as one that has passed the initial developmental stage, but has not yet been evaluated within the context of a cancer-relevant intended use and requires significant modification for the proposed application. The emphasis of this FOA is on technologies with a high degree of technical innovation with the potential to significantly affect and transform investigations exploring the molecular and cellular bases of cancer. If successful, these technologies would accelerate and/or enhance research in the areas of cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, control, epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. Technologies proposed for development may be intended to have widespread applicability but must be based on molecular and/or cellular characterizations of cancer. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>The Kenya Ministry of Health National Blood Transfusion Service (KNBTS) is the sole organization mandated by the Government of Kenya to deal with blood transfusion issues-supply, distribution, and utilization. This is in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.  KNBTS was established in the year 2000 with the goal of ensuring a safe and sufficient blood supply for the country. Previously, blood was obtained from non-voluntary family replacement donors at fragmented hospital-based transfusion units that lacked a standardization of procedures. The policy guidelines on blood transfusion (2001) recommended a shift from hospital based transfusion services to a centralized system.  This ensures standardization and improved quality of blood supplies with consequent reduction in transmission of HIV, hepatitis and other transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs).         Previous cooperative agreements include U62/CCU023686 of 2004 and U2GPS001794 of 2010. The proposed new project will build on the previous two cooperative agreements between KNBTS and CDC for HIV prevention through blood transfusion.  The previous 2 cooperative agreements were single eligibility because KNBTS is the sole body with mandate to oversee Kenya blood services, and the two single eligibility requests were successful. Applications may be submitted by Ministries of Health (MOH), National Blood Transfusion Services, or their bona fide agents. Bona Fide Agent/s must provide a support letter from MOH.     </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>The National Tuberculosis and Leprosy  Program (CENAT), housed in Cambodia&amp;apos;s Ministry of Health, is legally responsible for managing and overseeing tuberculosis prevention and treatment throughout the Kingdom of Cambodia. CENAT has been the lead for HIV/AIDS care and treatment for patients with TB co-infection since it was established. It is the sole official government source in Cambodia for providing these public health services. There is no other entity within the Kingdom of Cambodia with the sole legal mandate from the Royal Government of Cambodia to manage tuberculosis prevention and treatment, including developing health policy guidelines and overseeing the provision of comprehensive health services for tuberculosis control.    CENAT possesses not only the mandate but also the leadership capacity to manage these funds efficiently and in accordance with PEPFAR guidance and USG regulations.     Therefore, as part of Cambodia&amp;apos;s effort to build capacity and sustainability and later resultant indigenous capacity in local organizations by providing HIV/AIDS  care and treatment for patients with TB co-infection, it is imperative funding be available to the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy  Program (CENAT) housed in Cambodia&amp;apos;s Ministry of Health.    </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>CDC Cambodia has partnered directly with the National Center for Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control (CENAT) since 2009 through a cooperative agreement to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in HIV-positive patients and detect multi-drug resistant TB. In this follow-on funding opportunity, the national tuberculosis control program will scale-up, monitor, and supervise national TB/HIV activities, in coordination with the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology, and STDs (NCHADS). The objectives are to achieve and sustain nationwide scale up of the &amp;#147;Three Is&amp;#148; (intensified case finding [ICF], isoniazid preventive therapy, and infection control) and rapid, early treatment of co-infected patients with both antiretroviral and anti-tuberculosis regimens. To promote long-term sustainability, the cooperative agreement will foster monitoring and evaluation systems and strengthen the capacity of national health care staff to correctly diagnose and treat TB using evidence-based, cost-effective TB diagnostic algorithms. </Description>

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#146;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number NPS-NOIR# P12AC30010 Project Title National Park Service-Title Recipient Principle Investigator / Program Manager Jim Foster Randy Buckley Total Anticipated Award Amount 760,000.00 Cost Share None Required New Award or Continuation? New Cooperative Agreement, P12AC30010 Anticipated Length of Agreement Through December 14, 2016 Anticipated Period of Performance Through December 14, 2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 U.S.C. 1 (g) CFDA # and Title 15.944 Single Source Justification Criteria Cited #4 &amp;#150; Unique Qualifications NPS Point of Contact Tina Holland Page 1 OVERVIEW, RECIPIENT AND NPS SUBSTANTIAL INVOLVEMENT To provide transit for visitors to Glacier National Park in response to the Final EIS/ROD done in 2002 for the Going-to-the-Sun Road rehabilitation. It is also to provide transit resources for rural communities in the State of Montana who do not have access to these resources. The public purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide a free transit system over the Going-to-the-Sun Road to the visiting public. Its purpose accomplishes not only what the Final EIS/ROD required by law but also a small reduction in vehicular traffic on the Road during construction. Glacier National Park will have direct budgetary oversight and quality control/quality assurance controls of the entire transit operation Without this substantial involvement it would be very easy to overspend and cause a reduction in transit service to the visitors of Glacier National Park. It is also necessary to keep the policies and values of Glacier National Park as the overarching and guiding principles for the cooperating partner. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#150; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#150; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#150; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#146; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#150; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#150; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service awarded this task to Flathead County, Eagle Transit based on the following exception. (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#150; A. Background: The National Park Service (NPS) is currently underway with the major rehabilitation of the Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTSR) in Glacier National Park. Rehabilitation, led by the Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD) Federal Highway Administration, will be ongoing for the duration of this Agreement based on current funding levels. A Congressionally mandated Citizens Advisory Committee, the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and Record of Decision (ROD) for the project all mandated that the NPS be charged with the responsibility of mitigating construction impacts to the visitor experience and the corresponding impact to local communities during the construction period. The Final Environmental Impact Study and Record of Decision (FEIS/ROD) solution was instituting a Transit system augmented by an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and other visitor services to ensure mitigation goals are met during the construction period: 1. During peak season, visitors will encounter no more than 30 to 40 minutes of cumulative delays driving the GTSR; and 2. Park visitation levels will remain at a minimum of 94% of average visitation. The project implementation included a shuttle system free to all boarding passengers operating on both sides of the Continental Divide on the GTSR, constructing the new Transit Center near Apgar Village on the west side, upgrading the St. Mary Visitor Center to incorporate Transit operations on the east side, building the commensurate transit stops along the proposed routes and implementing the ITS system focused on transit management. Glacier National Park, the Montana Department of Transportation, and Flathead County, continue to stand behind the completion of the GTSR rehabilitation project as early as possible with minimal negative impacts to visitors. The State and County have a vested interest in maintaining and promoting visitation to Glacier National Park, which is one of the goals outlined in the mitigation plan. In addition to being geared toward providing visitors an opportunity for a favorable experience, there are significant economic benefits in the County and throughout the State directly related to park visitation. The State, in cooperation with Flathead County, is willing to continue the partnership with the park toward the goal of increasing the availability of public transportation in and around the park. The County has identified a need for additional vehicles to serve the rapidly growing public transportation requirements. State funding provides an unprecedented opportunity to expand the transportation system beyond park boundaries. Flathead County has the experience and expertise in public transportation as demonstrated by having operated Eagle Transit, a local service provider, for the past 25 years. Eagle Transit has the continued capability to operate the park&amp;#146;s transit system with the flexibility necessary to accommodate changing park requirements. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is issuing, on behalf of the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001162, entitled ?Targeted Algal Biofuels and Bioproducts (TABB)?. The TABB FOA seeks alternative pathways to overcome two of the key barriers to commercializing algal biofuels: the high cost of producing algal biomass and the low yield of target biofuel and bioproduct feedstocks produced from algae. Specifically, the TABB FOA will support: 1) the development of algae cultures that produce valuable bioproducts alongside fuels to increase the overall value of the biomass; and 2) the development of crop protection and CO2 utilization technologies to boost culture productivity and yield to reduce the cost of the biomass. The goal is to enable a modeled minimum fuel selling price, assuming mature technologies, of less than $5 gasoline gallon equivalent for algal biofuels through creation of valuable products alongside fuels and achieving increased biomass productivity that leads to higher feedstock yields. The TABB FOA includes two topic areas: 1. Consortia that bring together upstream and downstream expertise to develop biofuels and bioproducts from algae that are comparable and competitive with their petroleum-based counterparts and have broad national market impacts; 2. Single investigator or small team technology development projects focused on developing crop protection or CO2 utilization technologies to raise the biomass productivity and demonstrate that the increase could lead to higher yields. Consortia projects in Topic Area 1 will develop and characterize finished products and fuels spanning the entire algae processing system (cultivation, harvesting, processing, refining/bioproduct production). The projects in Topic Area 2 will increase algal biomass productivity and/or yield via crop protection or CO2 utilization strategies. The eXCHANGE system is currently designed to enforce hard deadlines for Concept Paper and Full Application submissions. The APPLY and SUBMIT buttons automatically disable at the defined submission deadlines. The intention of this design is to consistently enforce a standard deadline for all applicants. Applicants that experience issues with submissions PRIOR to the FOA Deadline: In the event that an Applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission, the Applicant should contact the eXCHANGE helpdesk for assistance (exchangehelp@hq.doe.gov). The eXCHANGE helpdesk &amp;amp;/or the EERE eXCHANGE System Administrators (eXCHANGE@go.doe.gov) will assist the Applicant in resolving all issues. Applicants that experience issues with submissions that result in a late submission: In the event that an Applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission that results in a late submission, the Applicant should contact the eXCHANGE helpdesk for assistance (exchangehelp@hq.doe.gov). The eXCHANGE helpdesk &amp;amp;/or the EERE eXCHANGE System Administrators (eXCHANGE@go.doe.gov) will assist the Applicant in resolving all issues (including finalizing the submission on behalf of and with the Applicant?s concurrence). DOE will only accept late applications when the Applicant has a) encountered technical difficulties beyond their control; b) has contacted the eXCHANGE helpdesk for assistance, and c) has submitted the application through eXCHANGE within 24 hours of the FOA?s posted deadline. The TABB FOA Informational Webinar will be held on Wednesday, October 8, 2014 from 1:00pm-3:00pm EST. Standard application questions regarding the EERE Office and FOA procedures will be discussed. Here is the link to the Webinar: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/914131609. </Description>

        <Description>The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) invites applications for Planning Centers for Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology (IR-BU) (P20). The intent of this solicitation is to encourage studies that take an integrative approach towards addressing problems in benign urology. Because lower urinary tract symptoms, such as frequency, urgency, dysuria, terminal dribbling etc., are descriptive, it has been difficult to attribute these symptoms to specific etiologies or to particular urinary tract organs and tissues, supporting structures, or to the peripheral or central nervous system. Furthermore, the lack of fundamental information about lower urinary tract development and physiology has hampered the ability to develop strategies to address lower urinary tract symptoms. These planning centers are to foster programs that undertake a broad approach towards research in benign urology that can integrate investigations of organ-specific development and genetics, structure and function, and physiology and pathophysiology with in vivo studies to understand the potential interplay of urologic and non-urologic organs and tissues. The research teams are expected to be built from established investigators from the basic science and urology and other disciplines. Each IR-BU Center (P20) is limited to a single Scientific Project and must contain an Administrative Core and an Educational Enrichment Program. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is issued as an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research. The Neuroscience Blueprint is a collaborative framework through which 16 NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices jointly support neuroscience-related research, with the aim of accelerating discoveries and reducing the burden of nervous system disorders (for further information, see http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/). The goal of this FOA is to encourage research grant applications that propose to develop or substantially modify existing cutting edge technologies that will advance glial cell research, discovery-based research on glial cell diversity, development and/or function in the central (CNS) and peripheral (PNS) nervous systems. The primary objective of this FOA is to remove barriers to glial cell research that are due to the scarcity of tools, methods and technologies to target and identify glial cells in a rigorous manner. Applications should aim to transform the field of glial cell research by generating tools that will be widely used throughout the neuroscience community. Research supported by this initiative will (i) provide new tools for manipulating and identifying glial cells based on their heterogeneity, developmental stage or functional state; and /or (ii) tools to allow investigation of glial function and processes, thus contributing to our understanding of normal and abnormal neural function. </Description>

NNH12ZUA001N, entitled NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts: Phase I Studies, will be available as of January 9, 2012 by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings &amp;#147;Solicitations&amp;#148; to &amp;#147;Open Solicitations.&amp;#148; This solicitation represents a second year of the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, which issued its first solicitation on March 1, 2011, and awarded 30 Phase I studies. These are currently underway. More information is available at: http://www.nasa.gov/offices/oct/early_stage_innovation/niac/ . This NRA will solicit multiple studies, each of which will investigate an architecture, mission, or system concept that has the potential to change the possible in space or aeronautics. NIAC is part of the Space Technology Program in the Office of Chief Technologist (OCT). Aerospace architecture, mission, or system concepts proposed for NIAC Phase I studies must be exciting, unexplored, far-term, and technically credible. Proposals for narrow technology or subsystem development, or incremental or near-term advancement, are explicitly out of scope for this program. Finally, while NIAC encourages great leaps and accepts the accompanying risk, proposals must be technically credible, based on sound scientific principles. The 2012 NIAC Phase I solicitation will be a two step process. Step A will be a 2-page white paper. Proposals shall be submitted electronically, and all Step A proposers shall use the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES), accessible at http://nspires.nasaprs.com , or for Step A may also use Grants.gov. Step B full proposals will be eligible only if invited after review of a Step A submission. Step B proposals shall be submitted electronically through NSPIRES only. This solicitation will be an open announcement; anyone is welcome to respond. Affiliation with any educational institution, commercial or not-for-profit organization, research laboratory, government agency, or NASA Center (including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory) is permitted. Individuals may submit, as long as they meet the registration requirements for NSPIRES. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. Each electronic proposal system places requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the electronic proposal system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Specific propo sal submission deadline dates, evaluation criteria, and submission information will be identified in the NRA. Step A White Papers will be due on or before February 9, 2012; Step B full Proposals will be due on or before April 16, 2012. Comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to NIAC Program representatives at hq-niac@mail.nasa.gov. Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and also included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. </Description>

This cooperative agreement is for a five-year award. The first year of the cooperative agreement is for nine-hundred and ninety-eight thousand dollars ($998,000) from funds appropriated in Fiscal Year 2011. Subsequent funding will be based on annual appropriations and future authorization of the program.</Description>

        <Description>The Arts Endowment&amp;#146;s support of a project may start on October 1, 2015, or any time thereafter, and extend for up to two years.OUR TOWN: Grant Program DescriptionArt works to support creative, economically-competitive, healthy, resilient, and opportunity-rich communities. Excellent art is an essential part of building a strong community, as important as land-use, transportation, education, housing, infrastructure, and public safety. Artists and community development practitioners across our nation --sometimes one and the same, sometimes working together -- are striving to make places more livable with enhanced quality of life, increased creative activity, a distinct sense of place, and vibrant local economies that together capitalize on their existing assets. The NEA defines these efforts as Creative Placemaking.Through Our Town, subject to the availability of funding, the National Endowment for the Arts will provide a limited number of grants for creative placemaking projects that contribute towards the livability of communities and help transform them into lively, beautiful, and resilient places with the arts at their core. Our Town prioritizes partnerships between arts organizations and government, private, and nonprofit organizations to achieve livability goals for communities.Our Town offers support for projects in two areas:&amp;#149; Arts Engagement, Cultural Planning, and Design Projects that represent the distinct character and quality of their communities&amp;#149; Projects that Build Knowledge About Creative Placemaking </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Notice of Intent to Award without Competition - Continuation and Unique Qualifications:  The Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park has been a key operating partner of Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) since our first Agreement in 1988.  Since the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center opened its doors in 1994, the Conservancy has expertly managed the operations of CVEEC in partnership with the NPS.  In addition, the Conservancy raises funds each year so that children in urban schools in Cleveland and Akron, who otherwise could not afford to experience a residential environmental education program in a national park, have the opportunity to do so.  The remainder of the 2011-2012 school year is already booked to capacity.  The Conservancy has been instrumental in working with the park for the past 23 years to implement numerous interpretive and educational programs for children and adults, create unique special events, and enable the development a very successful Environmental Education Program.      In addition, the Conservancy has two full-time staff who work collaboratively with the park&amp;#146;s Volunteer Program Manager.  This team of three has grown the park&amp;#146;s Volunteer Program over the past two years by over 50% (to over 5,700 volunteers) and has developed a variety of new and creative opportunities for volunteers, allowing them to get involved and become park stewards/ambassadors.   and 1)  The Conservancy is a local non-profit organization based in the Cuyahoga Valley and has strong ties and long-standing, trusted relationships with the surrounding communities in the park.  2)  The Conservancy owns Trail Mix, a small store located adjacent to the Towpath Trail, but outside of park boundaries.  This store serves as a hub for park visitors to gather and as central location for park visitors to obtain information about the park and its programs.  3)  The Conservancy also owns all of the furniture and appliances at the Stanford House, which is utilized mainly for Environmental Education programming purposes.  4)  The existing volunteer base of 5,700+ people assist the organization with everything from hosting special events; to leading public programs in the areas of education, cultural arts, and nature; and removing invasive species, to name a few.  These volunteers also include the Board of Trustees made up of 30 dedicated community leaders from the Cleveland and Akron areas.  5)  The Conservancy actively fund-raises (approximately 50% of its operating budget) to help support its operation and programs.  The Conservancy&amp;#146;s reputation and skilled staff have also enabled the organization to bring additional support to the park through various in-kind donations of equipment and skilled, technical labor.  6)  The Conservancy&amp;#146;s staff brings a high level of educational, arts, marketing, and customer service expertise that the NPS alone could not provide.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) in the United Republic of Tanzania is to continue strengthening of the quality and reach of national laboratory services. The program objectives are to: &amp;#149; Expand access to and equity of laboratory services to support HIV care and treatment, opportunistic infections including TB, malaria, and reportable infectious diseases. &amp;#149; Achieve accreditation of all zonal, regional, and district laboratories to national and/or international standards. &amp;#149; Strengthen laboratory information systems (LIS) to support early and correct diagnosis, prompt management of patients, laboratory logistics, supplies, and operational research. &amp;#149; Strengthen management of the National Health Laboratory Services The Government of Tanzania&amp;apos;s Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) is uniquely positioned, in terms of legal authority, ability, track record, infrastructure and credibility to develop and support HIV/AIDS activities throughout the country as stated within the Application Instructions of this FOA. Furthermore, the MOHSW has the mandate to coordinate the health-sector response for all health issues, including HIV/AIDS, in Tanzania. It is the only organization on the Tanzania mainland with this mandate. It also has the mandate to provide technical support and coordination to the regional and district health management teams. The health laboratory system in Tanzania is multi-tiered, and the test menus, complexity of testing and personnel expertise decrease from the national level to dispensary levels. There are currently a total of 6,217 laboratories consisting of one national reference, four zonal referral, 23 regional, 90 district and 577 health center and 5,522 dispensary laboratories. Some of these facilities are under the management of faith-based organizations but fall within the classification of public health facilities. The National Health Laboratory Standard Guidelines prescribes the allocation of test menus, equipment placement and expertise requirements at different tiers. Key activity areas that will be supported through this funding include but are not limited to: &amp;#149; Expanding access and equity of laboratory services to support HIV care and treatment and opportunistic infections including TB and Malaria. &amp;#149; Implementing Laboratory Quality Management System through the National Health Laboratory Quality Assurance and Training Center (NHL-QATC) including facilitating accreditation of all zonal, regional, and district laboratories to national and/or international standards. &amp;#149; Strengthening laboratory information systems (LIS) to support early and correct diagnosis, prompt management of patients, laboratory logistics, supplies, and operational research. &amp;#149; Strengthening coordination and management of the National Health Laboratory Services At the end of the 5 years project period, the MOHSW is expected to achieve the following outcomes: &amp;#149; Increased access to quality laboratory services &amp;#149; Increased in number of laboratories that are accredited to international standards &amp;#149; Enhanced utilization of accurate laboratory data for program management including forecasting and quantification of laboratory commodities. &amp;#149; Increased management of the National Health Laboratory Services &amp;#149; Enhanced capacity to conduct disease surveillance. &amp;#149; Increased in quality of the National Health Laboratory Services &amp;#149; Increased coordination and management of the National Health Laboratory Services </Description>

        <Description>The Naval Postgraduate School Center for Multi-INT Studies (CMIS) has a bold vision to transform the field of intelligence and seeks to vastly improve the current state of the art in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). To this end, CMIS supports innovative, independent research that has the potential to expand knowledge in related areas. As real-time, accurate and actionable intelligence products are demanded by analysts, warfighters, and decision makers, linear, human-intensive processes are no longer sufficient. The capabilities of current and future adversaries and the dynamism and complexity of the environments in which they operate necessitate vast improvements in the timeliness and execution of intelligence-cycle processes.Humans do not have the cognitive ability or the time to analyze the vast quantities of multi-source, multi-dimensional data that are now available. Revolutionary decision support, situational awareness, sensemaking, inferencing, reasoning, and visualization capabilities must be employed to expediently unlock the information contained in these myriad streams of data.CMIS envisions a future where cognitive technologies can anticipate strategic and tactical information needs, perceptively orchestrate distributed sensors across every domain (cyber, human, terrestrial, air, sea, space, etc.), and deliver timely and accurate recommendations to kinetic and/or non-kinetic agents (human and/or machine) to employ required actions.The transformative technologies of interest are:&amp;#149; Understanding targets as systems&amp;#149; Orchestrated resource management&amp;#149; Cognitive sensemaking&amp;#149; Human-computer symbiosis </Description>

        <Description>The Environmental Justice Small Grants (EJSG) Program provides funding for eligible applicants for projects that address local environmental and public health issues within an affected community. The EJSG Program is designed to help communities understand and address exposure to multiple environmental harms and risks. The long-term goals of the EJSG Program are to help build the capacity of communities with environmental justice concerns and to create self-sustaining, community-based partnerships that will continue to improve local environments in the future. The fiscal year 2015 program will consider proposals supporting community-based preparedness and resilience efforts (community climate resiliency). The goal is to recognize the critical role of localized efforts in helping communities shape climate change strategies to avoid, lessen, or delay the risks and impacts associated with climate change. An overarching goal of including this emphasis is to help bolster the efforts of underrepresented communities to address climate change vulnerabilities and develop solutions.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council, administers the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Program (Catalog of Federal and Domestic Assistance Number 15.643). For many years representatives of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Alaska Native Community worked together to amend the 1916 Migratory Bird Treaty with Canada, and the 1936 Migratory Bird Treaty with Mexico, to allow legal spring subsistence harvest of migratory birds in Alaska. The U.S. Senate ratified the Protocols to the two bilateral migratory bird treaties on October 23, 1997, paving the way for a regulatory process to ensure proper implementation of these amendments. The Protocol with Canada mandates that subsistence users will have an effective and meaningful role in the development of regulations through regional management bodies. The Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council was established in March 2000, with representatives of the Alaska Native Community, Federal Government, and State of Alaska as equals to develop recommendations for, among other things: seasons and bag limits; law enforcement policies; population and harvest monitoring; education programs; research and use of traditional knowledge; and habitat protection. Coordination with Alaska Native regional partner organizations was established to organize subsistence user participation within each region. 50 CFR 92.11(a), states that &amp;#191;we are working with the Alaska Native non-profit groups and local governments&amp;#191;&amp;#191; Under 50 CFR 92.4, Partner 50 CFR 92.11 (b), states that the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service will establish partner agreements with at least one partner organization in each of the listed regions. Organizations or Regional Partners are defined as a regional or local organization or a local tribal government that has entered into a formal agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the purpose of coordinating the regional programs necessary to involve subsistence users in the regulatory process. Region-specific, formal working agreements have been established with ten Alaska Native non-profit groups and one local government to accomplish the mission of the Migratory Bird Treaty Amendment Protocols. These specific regional organizations were designated as partner organizations following an extensive public involvement process. A list of partner organizations was published in the Federal Register, 65 FR 16405 (March 28, 2000), and amended in 71 FR 35690 (June 21, 2006). Proposals are required to be submitted under this annual announcement in order to be awarded funds. Request for Proposals are required to renew grant agreements that are directed specifically to those regional partners who have already entered into a pre-requisite formal agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The purpose of each of these grant agreements is to defray each Alaska Native regional partner&amp;#191;s travel and communication expenses enabling them to participate in the co-management process. These grant agreements are not open to competition outside of existing Alaska Native regional partner organizations serving on the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council. Proposals are to be submitted to the Office of Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council or directly through http://www.grants.gov no later than January 16, 2012, 5:00 PM Alaska time. Proposed requests for funding will be for one-year duration (Fiscal Year 2012).</Description>

CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. Project: 1. Coordinate a work schedule with NPS and provide an eight (8) member crew to include two (2) leaders experienced in the operation of hand tools and small power tools for the following Hazardous Fuel Reduction project: Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve McCarthy Road Corridor Mechanical Fuel Reduction Project. 2. Provide all food, support costs, and labor to accomplish services indicated in this statement of work. 3. Provide transportation to the work site, camp gear and food for all the crew members. 4. Matching requirement of 25% Single Source Justification Criteria Sited: JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (or SINGLE SOURCE) FOR DISCRETIONARY COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS BACKGROUND: &amp;#149; A brief history of this project. Is this part of an on-going program, agreement, etc&amp;#133;? o This is part of the pre-existing cooperative agreement between SAGA and NPS. The project entails hazardous fuels reduction along the McCarthy road corridor in WRST. NPS or contract fallers will be falling and limbing spruce trees and SAGA crew members will be assisting with piling of vegetation within the project area to provide defensible space for buildings along the McCarthy road corridor. 1) 505 DM 2 Single Source - Only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements. &amp;#149; Identify the source and explain why specifically competition is not practical. o The funding for this project stipulates that a youth service organization will be used to accomplish the work. SAGA, a youth service organization, has a previously established relationship with the NPS, has done work in many units of NPS Alaska, and has an existing signed cooperative agreement. 2) Nature and description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency&amp;#146;s needs: &amp;#149; Description of the item(s) or service(s) and the required delivery schedule. o SAGA will provide an 8-person crew for manual labor. The crew will be composed of 2 crew leaders (21+ years of age) who have USFS chainsaw training, and 6 crew members between the ages of 15-25. Majority of tasks will involve piling downed vegetation into burn piles. They will be available to work 8 10- hour days (eighty hours total) for the duration of time covered in the task agreement. Potential work date range is May 30 - September 21, 2012. &amp;#149; The minimum essential characteristics or unique features of the item(s). If requesting a service, fully describe all services to be performed. o SAGA will be responsible for providing transportation to the work site, personal protective equipment (hard hats, leather gloves, and safety glasses), food for their crewmembers, and camping supplies (tents, pads, sleeping bags). &amp;#149; State the price of the requirement &amp;#150; base year and every additional anticipated agreement period thereafter. o $12,500 for 2012 3) Criteria for justifying award without competition. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria. Please explain which criterion specifically addresses the proposed agreement. Unique Qualifications - The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability, if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; SAGA has a proven positive track record when working with the National Park Service &amp;#150; Alaska Region. Because they are an Alaska-based organization, they bring specific Alaska knowledge of the varied landscapes, potential hazards, and project logistics to the table. They have shown great flexibility in working with remote Alaska logistics including organizing transportation and equipment. In addition, SAGA is able to provide a single crew for the entirety of the proposed work schedule and thus this saves the NPS time and money from having to hire more than one crew. 4) A description of the market research that was conducted and the results, or a statement of the reason a market research was not conducted: Type and degree of market survey conducted I requested cost estimates from SAGA, Inc., and Student Conservation Association, Inc. SAGA was the only one that responded able to provide a crew with their own tools and equipment. 5) Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition: None </Description>

        <Description>Health centers improve the health of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services. Health Center Program grants support a variety of community-based and patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that serve an increasing number of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved. Individually, each health center plays an important role in the goal of ensuring access to services, and combined, they have had a critical impact on the health care status of medically underserved and vulnerable populations throughout the United States and its territories. The Health Center Program targets the Nation&amp;#191;s neediest populations and geographic areas by currently funding approximately 1,300 health centers that operate over 9,000 service delivery sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In 2013, more than 21 million patients, including medically underserved and uninsured patients, received comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services through the Health Center Program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Health Center Program&amp;#191;s Service Area Competition &amp;#191; Additional Area (SAC-AA). The FOA details the SAC-AA eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations seeking a grant for operational support of an announced service area under the Health Center Program, including Community Health Center (CHC &amp;#191; section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC &amp;#191; section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH &amp;#191; section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC &amp;#191; section 330(i)). For the purposes of this document, the term &amp;#191;health center&amp;#191; refers to the diverse types of health centers (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and /or PHPC) supported under section 330 of the PHS Act, as amended.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>The Africa Society for Blood Transfusion (AfSBT) was launched approximately 10 years ago to address this challenge through the development and implementation of a &amp;quot;step-wise&amp;quot; accreditation service based on internationally-accepted quality standards that have been adapted to reflect current operational environments commonly found in Africa.     The purpose of this FOA is to support the AfSBT, the only African standards and accrediting body, to develop, expand, and implement its Africa-wide accreditation program, and to build the organization&amp;apos;s capacity to deliver other training and quality management services to member countries in Africa.  AfSBT is the only organization globally that has been approved by Africa member states to operate an accreditation system specifically for African blood transfusion services.  No other organization maintains Africa-specific standards for blood transfusion services or offers training, pre-accreditation assessments, and formal accreditation assessments based on those standards.     African countries currently rely on US or European based accreditation services to validate their domestic quality management systems.  However, these non-Africa-based services are typically designed for blood services in industrialized, high-income, countries.  As such, African blood services, especially those in resource-limited settings, face substantial challenges in obtaining accreditation.     During the last decade, AfSBT has benefited from substantial volunteer contributions from technical experts in several African countries, and counts most countries in the WHO AFRO region (as well as several countries in the WHO EMRO region) as dues-paying members.  But a volunteer-based Secretariat has proved unsustainable and inefficient.  As the only standards-based organization supporting blood services in Africa, AfSBT is uniquely positioned to benefit from CDC and PEPFAR support to strengthen indigenous capacity to provide accreditation to its members.     CDC&amp;apos;s Division of Global HIV/AIDS, the primary implementing agency for PEPFAR&amp;apos;s blood safety initiative, recognizes AfSBT as a powerful example of the kind of indigenous technical organization PEPFAR seeks to support as part of its long-term transition and sustainability strategies.  In addition, accreditation is a core objective of the PEPFAR quality strategy.     Unlike North America, Europe, and other developed regions of the world, the African continent lacks a diversity of capacity and organizations capable of implementing the standards-based accreditation project proposed by AfSBT.  Indeed, AfSBT is the only organization of its kind in Africa dedicated to a regional approach to quality and blood service accreditation.      AfSBT also has a history of collaboration with CDC via work by several CDC partner governments to attain AfSBT accreditation.  The FOA associated with this SEJ seeks to expand on that collaboration to build a sustainable organizational structure from which AfSBT may continue to offer its Africa-specific accreditation services to partner countries.     AfSBT is a registered &amp;quot;not for gain&amp;quot; (non-profit) organization based in Johannesburg, South Africa.  The Society&amp;apos;s officers are selected from member states across Africa.  This is the first time CDC seeks to provide direct funding to AfSBT.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The program goal and objectives relevant to this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) are to strengthen the Africa Society for Blood Transfusion&amp;#146;s ability to serve as a regional center of excellence and provider of a standards-based accreditation service to blood services in Africa. SMART objectives related to this project include: &amp;#149; Specific: AfSBT will develop and implement an Africa-wide accreditation system for African blood transfusion services. &amp;#149; Measurable: An increasing number of African blood transfusion services will attain AfSBT accreditation through the three step process. &amp;#149; Appropriate: AfSBT&amp;#146;s step-wise accreditation system will be based on internationally accepted standards, but tailored to operational environments in low-resource African countries. &amp;#149; Realistic: AfSBT is a 10 year old organization with a strong cadre of volunteer technical experts. This project seeks to leverage that volunteer-based experience and expertise to strengthen AfSBT&amp;#146;s Secretariat into a sustainable permanent organization. &amp;#149; Time-bound: The above objectives can realistically be achieved during the five year project period. These activities will also contribute to CDC&amp;#146;s and PEPFAR&amp;#146;s strategic objective to transition bi-lateral activities to local organizations and a diverse, sustainable and, where possible, largely local, source of long-term funding.

        <Description>The Intense and Compact Neutron Sources (ICONS) Program in DARPA&amp;#146;s Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is seeking innovative ideas and novel approaches to achieve revolutionary increases in neutron source intensity and reductions in device size, weight, and power (SWaP) for in-the-field neutron radiography and analytical techniques. Although current neutron source intensities are adequate for rapid, high resolution imaging, the large infrastructure required to achieve these intensities limits their applications. Achieving these neutron intensities in an expeditionary package will enable concepts-of-operations (CONOPS) that are currently infeasible due to SWaP constraints. While source intensity is only one aspect of the performance of a complete neutron analytical capability, achieving orders-of-magnitude improvements in portable neutron source intensities remains critical for widespread neutron imaging and analysis. It is envisioned that these significant advances in neutron output versus system SWaP will be transformative for specialized portable neutron sensing CONOPS in addition to portable neutron radiography.</Description>

        <Description>This project will develop a description of the visitor use along the 16 WSR segments. This description will provide an estimate of the current use and compare its levels with the maximum capacity. The maximum capacity will be developed in relation to the resource protections necessary to maintain the WSR segments values. This project, through these descriptions, will then outline criteria to be used to make decisions in the future. The criteria will also be used to evaluate visitor use in relation to maximum capacity. Once maximum capacity is reached, a system to regulate use in order to protect resource values would be implemented by BLM.</Description>

        <Description>The Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP) program seeks to establish a coordinated national network of regionally- or thematically-based partnerships devoted to increasing the adoption of effective, high quality educational programs and resources related to the science of climate change and its impacts. Each CCEP is required to be of a large enough scale that it will have catalytic or transformative impact that cannot be achieved through other core NSF program awards. The CCEP program is one facet of a larger NSF collection of awards related to Climate Change Education (CCE) that has two goals: (1) preparing a new generation of climate scientists, engineers, and technicians equipped to provide innovative and creative approaches to understanding global climate change and to mitigate its impact; and, (2) preparing today&amp;apos;s U.S. citizens to understand global climate change and its implications in ways that can lead to informed, evidence-based responses and solutions. Each CCEP is required to include substantial involvement of representatives from each of the following communities: climate scientists; experts in the learning sciences; and, practitioners from within formal or informal education venues. This combined expertise is intended to foster innovative, trans-disciplinary advances in climate change education and insure that educational programs and resources developed by each CCEP reflect current understanding about climate science, the best theoretical approaches for teaching and learning such a complex topic, and the practical means necessary to reach the intended learner audience(s). Additional types of expertise are allowed, but these three required areas must form the core partnership. Each CCEP should be organized around either geographic regions that share similar climate change impacts, or major climate impact themes (e.g., sea-level rise).The CCEP program is a two-phase program. CCEP Phase I (CCEP-I) projects funded in FY 2010 and FY 2011 and a sub-set of CCE projects funded in FY 2009 have focused on Partnership initiation and strategic planning for Phase II. Objectives for Phase I activities included: (1) conducting an inventory of existing climate change education resources and identifying educational needs and opportunities relevant to their particular region or theme; (2) identifying key players from relevant stakeholder communities and initiating network development; (3) convening community workshops and other community-building activities that lead toward development of a comprehensive climate change education strategic plan for that Partnership; and, (4) laying the groundwork to develop, customize, and scale-up standards-based instructional materials, professional development and training models, and other appropriate activities tailored to the Partnership&amp;apos;s goals. The current solicitation seeks proposals for Phase II Partnerships (CCEP-II) only. CCEP-II awardees will receive up to 5 years of funding to support full-scale implementation of mature and robust strategic plans already developed by regional or thematic partnerships to improve climate change education activities at a significant scale and meet the goals of the CCE program. Strategic plans must include well-integrated formative and summative evaluation activities conducted by an external evaluator. Prior CCEP-I funding is not an eligibility requirement, but all proposed Phase II Partnerships that did not have CCEP-I funding must demonstrate that they meet the required criteria and have undertaken activities that address the goals and objectives described in the CCEP-I program solicitation.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of State&amp;apos;s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) welcomes the submission of proposals for the Cultural Orientation Technical Assistance Program for CY 2015. The deadline for submission of proposals is Friday, November 21, 2014 at 12:00 p.m. noon (EST). The purpose of the CO Technical Assistance Program is to strengthen linkages between overseas CO programs for refugees approved for admission to the United States and reception and placement (R&amp;amp;P) activities conducted upon their arrival. The Bureau intends to award one Cooperative Agreement in CY 2015 to a well-qualified non-profit organization with the required technical expertise in CO program activities. This will include agencies that have demonstrated satisfactory performance under previous agreements with the Bureau and/or agencies that meet the selection criteria described below and have demonstrated the capacity to provide required services. Applicants should understand that receipt of prior funding for the CO Technical Assistance Program is not a pre-condition for and does not guarantee continued funding in CY 2015. In order to be considered for an award, applicants must (A) demonstrate knowledge and experience in CO curriculum and materials development; educational program implementation and evaluation; assessment of student learning and understanding; basic ESL curriculum and materials development; and adult teaching and learning methodology; (B) demonstrate experience working in a refugee context or with other migrant populations in the United States; and (C) demonstrate financial stability and provide documentation of at least three full years of operation in a 501(c)(3) non-profit status. Failure to satisfy any of the three required qualifications above will preclude further consideration for participation in the program.</Description>

Such organizations also are referred to as academic institutions.    *PI Limit:           PIs from NSF-funded FFRDCs may submit proposals to this competition. Projects involving USDA or DOE FFRDCs will only be considered for co-funding by NSF if they are collaborative effortsthat includenon-federally funded institutions. To facilitate possible interagency funding of such collaboratives, an institution other than the USDA or DOE FFRDC mustserve as the lead institution. This is necessitated solely by NSF rules for funding collaborative grants and should not be construed as a comment on capability or leadership. It is anticipated that DOE lab scientists whose projects are recommended for funding would be funded by DOE. USDA research laboratories submitting proposals as the lead institution will only be considered for funding by USDA-NIFA.    Proposals from FFRDCs must obey NSF budget guidelines and may not include costs already covered by federal funds.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The consequences of climate variability and change are becoming more immediate and profound than previously anticipated. Important impacts have highlighted that climate variability and change can have significant effects on decadal and shorter time scales, with significant consequences for plant, animal, human, and physical systems. Such aspects include the onset of prolonged droughts on several continents, increased frequency of floods, loss of agricultural and forest productivity, degraded ocean and permafrost ecosystems, global sea level rise and the rapid retreat of ice sheets and glaciers, loss of Arctic sea ice, and changes in ocean currents. The EaSM funding opportunity enables interagency cooperation on one of the most pressing problems of the millennium: climate change, how it is likely to affect our world, and how we can plan for its consequences. It allows the partner agencies -- National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) -- to combine resources to identify and fund the most meritorious and highest-impact projects that support their respective missions, while eliminating duplication of effort and fostering collaboration between agencies and the investigators they support.This interdisciplinary scientific challenge calls for the development and application of next-generation Earth System Models that include coupled and interactive representations of such things as ocean and atmospheric currents, human activities, agricultural working lands and forests, urban environments, biogeochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, the water cycle and land ice. This solicitation seeks to attract scientists from the disciplines of geosciences, social sciences, agricultural and biological sciences, mathematics and statistics, physics, and chemistry. Successful proposals will develop intellectual excitement in the participating disciplinary communities and engage diverse interdisciplinary teams with sufficient breadth to achieve the scientific objectives. We encourage proposals that have strong broader impacts, including public access to data and other research products of general interest, as well as educational, diversity, or societal impacts.The long-term goals of this solicitation are to improve on and extend current Earth System modeling capabilities to: Achieve comprehensive, reliable global and regional predictions of decadal climate variability and change through advanced understanding of the coupled interactive physical, chemical, biological, and human processes that drive the climate system.Quantify the impacts of climate variability and change on natural and human systems, and identify and quantify feedback loops.Maximize the utility of available observational and model data for impact, vulnerability/resilience, and risk assessments through up/downscaling activities and uncertainty characterization.Effectively translate climate predictions and associated uncertainties into the scientific basis for policy and management decisions related to human interventions and adaptation to the projected impacts of climate change.The following are specific areas of interest to the funding agencies for EaSM 2: (i) Research that has the potential to dramatically improve predictive capabilities; (ii) Prediction and attribution studies; (iii) Research that addresses critical issues linking relevant Earth system processes over a variety of spatial and temporal scales; (iv) Research that examines the relationships between climate variability and change to human and natural environments from the human perspective; (v) Development and applications of metrics, methods, and tools for testing and evaluating climate and climate impact predictions and their uncertainty characterization. These subareas of particular interest are described in greater detail below under Program Description: Areas of interest.</Description>

        <Description>REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) Posting Date: September 25, 2014 Questions and Comments Due Date: Sunday October 5, 2014 23h59pm, Washington, DC Time Opportunity Number: RFI-306-14-000100 Opportunity Category: Other Agency Contact: kabulaidoaamailbox@usaid.gov Point of Contact: Naseer Sardari nsardari@state.gov Dear Partners: This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain information about capabilities and market information from potential applicants regarding an education project in Afghanistan. This RFI is issued for the purpose of &amp;#147;Requesting Comments&amp;#148; to the concept for a new project/activity and seeks information from companies and organizations that have the capacity, proven track record, and interest in the design and implementation of effective early grade reading and access to basic education programs. The information obtained may be used in the design of a future education activity that addresses both early grade reading and access to education. All activities under the proposed project will take place in Afghanistan. USAID is looking for responses that take into consideration the culture, norms and context of Afghanistan. Early Grade Reading and Access to Education Component Description Term: five years (basic education funds) Managing Office: Office of Social Sector Development, Education, Afghanistan Proposed Mechanism: To be determined (Contract or Cooperative Agreement) Geographic Scope: To be determined Link to other USAID Projects: N/A USAID/Afghanistan Mission&amp;#146;s Education program, in alignment with Afghanistan&amp;#146;s National Priority Program Cluster 2 &amp;#150; Education for All, USAID Education Strategy and the USAID/Afghanistan&amp;#146;s Strategy for Transformation, supports measurable, consequential gains in three areas: education systems strengthening, access to education, and quality of reading instruction. The proposed project aims to provide students in grades one and two with evidence-based reading instruction that will ensure that they can read grade level text after two years of school. The activity will draw on 30 years of international research and half a decade of USAID experience in early grade reading to work with the Ministry of Education (MoE) to: 1) offer students technically-sound early grade reading material, 2) train teachers to use that material for instruction in class, 3) provide teachers with high-quality coaching in the implementation of early grade reading instruction, 4) mobilize communities in support of improved access to school and reading instruction, 5) assist the MoE to upgrade its processes for assessing early grade reading achievement, and 6) conduct high-level policy dialogue with the MoE to support procedures and guidelines for schools and teachers which align with best practices in reading instruction and school management. With regards to enhancing access to formal MoE schools and bringing children who dropped out or are &amp;#147;permanently absent&amp;#148; back into school, the integrated early grade reading and access to education activity will focus on applying evidence-based approaches to sustainably increase access to education and will showcase these approaches for eventual scale-up by the MoE. Under this mechanism, efforts to address critical access barriers to education in Afghanistan, especially for girls, include community awareness campaigns, small-scale rehabilitation activities (boundary wall and/or toilets), and school safety measures. USAID/Afghanistan is soliciting comments from companies and organizations with relevant development experience that will help the likelihood of success for early grade reading and access to education in Afghanistan. Please consider the following: Ensure comments are concise and specific to information included within the description above. In addition to general comments, please respond the following questions: 1. What efforts have been taken in the past in terms of improving early grade reading in Afghanistan? What were the results and lessons learned from these efforts? 2. What efforts would be needed in terms of creating demand for and increasing access to the formal MoE schools? What can be done to improve student retention? 3. What efforts would be needed to increase the number of girls enrolled and regularly attending school? 4. What efforts would be needed to engage parents and communities in oversight and accountability of education at local and provincial levels? 5. How can USAID engage with other private and public institutions to leverage funds for improved access and quality of education? 6. How can USAID support MoE to sustain and scale up successful early grade reading and access interventions? 7. As activities are being implemented, how can USAID improve capacity at provincial and district levels as well as, communication between central and provincial and local levels? 8. Given the challenges of insecurity and lack of infrastructure, what efforts can be made to effectively monitor and measure impact of interventions? Issuance of this RFI does not constitute a Request for Applications. USAID/Afghanistan intends to issue either a Request for Proposals (RFP) or Request for Applications (RFA) in the near future. This notice does not constitute an obligation or endorsement by USAID to proceed with the Early Grade Reading and Improved Access Project. Responses to this RFI are not binding on the U. S. Government and do not obligate USAID to issue a Solicitation (RFP or RFA), nor does it commit USAID to pay any cost incurred in the preparation and submission of comments. Responses will be treated as information only and will not be used as an application. This RFI can be downloaded from grants.gov. Interested stakeholders who are not able to retrieve the RFI from the Internet can request a copy from kabulaidoaamailbox@usaid.gov. The request for comments will be open from the date of publication of this RFI, through October 5, 2014, 23h59pm, Washington, DC Time (October 6, 2014, 8h29 a.m. Kabul, Afghanistan Time). Comments should be submitted electronically only to: kabulaidoaamailbox@usaid.gov, no later than October 5, 2014, 23h59pm, Washington, DC Time. Thank you for your interest in USAID programs, we look forward to receiving your comments. </Description>

        <Description>To address ecological questions that cannot be resolved with short-term observations or experiments, NSF established the Long Term Ecological Research Program (LTER) in 1980.Three unique components differentiate LTER research from projects supported by other NSF programs: 1) the research is located at specific sites chosen to represent major ecosystem types or natural biomes; 2) it emphasizes the study of phenomena over long periods of time, based upon data collection in five core areas; and 3) projects include significant integrative, cross-site, network-wide research. Research at LTER sites provides experiments, databases, and research programs for use by other scientists. It must test important ecological or ecosystem theories including, but not limited to, ecosystem stability, biodiversity, community structure, and energy flow. Recognizing that the value of long-term data extends beyond use at any individual site, NSF requires that data collected by all LTER sites be made broadly accessible.Since its origin in 1980, the LTER program has grown in size and mandate. It currently supports 26 active sites representing major biotic regions of the continental US and Alaska, the marine environment, and the Antarctic continent. Its disciplinary scope includes population and community ecology, ecosystem science, evolutionary biology, phylogenetic systematics, social and economic sciences, urban ecology, oceanography, mathematics, computer science, and science education. The existence of a network across sites allows for continental-scale questions to be addressed.</Description>

        <Description>The Exchange Network is a partnership that supports better decision-making through improved access to environmental information. EPA and agencies from states, tribes, and territories are collaboratively building the Network to improve the nation&amp;#146;s ability to understand, protect, and preserve human health and the environment. In FY 2015, the National Environmental Information Exchange Network (Exchange Network, Network or EN) Grant Program is focusing on Phase 2 of the EN and the incorporation of certain aspects of the E-Enterprise for the Environment (E-Enterprise or EE) initiative into the EN program. The general goals of the EE initiative align with the goals of the EN program, and, for this reason, the incorporation of certain EE initiatives into the EN program will further the goals of Phase 2. The aspects of the EE initiative that we are incorporating into the EN program will improve environmental outcomes and dramatically enhance service to the regulated community and the public by maximizing the use of advanced monitoring and information technologies, optimizing operations, and increasing transparency.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2015 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part B Base, AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Base, Pacific Island Jurisdiction Part B/ADAP Base, ADAP Supplemental, Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI), and Emerging Communities. The purpose of this grant program is to assist States and Territories in developing and/or enhancing access to a comprehensive continuum of high quality HIV care and treatment for low-income people living with HIV (PLWH). It supports the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) goals of reducing HIV incidence, increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes, and reducing HIV-related health disparities. A comprehensive continuum of care includes the thirteen (13) core medical services specified in the Public Health Service Act, Section 2612(b)(3) [42 U.S.C. 300ff-21(b)(3)], as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-87). Comprehensive HIV/AIDS care beyond these core services may include supportive services that meet the criteria of enabling individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS to access and remain in primary medical care to improve their medical outcomes. These core and appropriate support services assist PLWH in accessing treatment for HIV/AIDS infection that is consistent with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Treatment Guidelines. (See http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov). The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) recognizes that the RWHAP Part B/ADAP grantees must use grant funds to support, develop and expand systems of care to meet the needs of PLWH. HAB requires RWHAP Part B/ADAP Programs to conduct needs assessments and use needs assessment data to make decisions on needed services to eliminate barriers faced by PLWH in accessing and remaining in medical care. Important Notes: &amp;#183; In accordance with the RWHAP legislation (Section 2618(a)(2)(H)(v) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act) and pending further direction or statutory provisions and/or appropriations language, hold harmless will not be a factor in the FY 2015 RWHAP Part B/ADAP awards. &amp;#183; The Early Identification of Individuals with HIV/AIDS (EIIHA) requirements in this funding announcement have been updated and streamlined. Please review carefully when preparing this section of your application. The following information will assist in understanding and completing this year&amp;#191;s grant application: &amp;#183; RWHAP Part B funds are subject to Section 2612(b)(1) of the PHS Act, which requires that not less than 75 percent of the funds be used to provide core medical services that are needed in the State/Territory for individuals with HIV/AIDS who are identified and eligible under the RWHAP. Core medical services and support services allowed under RWHAP Part B are limited to services that are needed for individuals with HIV/AIDS to achieve their medical outcomes as defined by the RWHAP. The most recent service definitions can be found in the latest version of the National Monitoring Standards. &amp;#183; Applicants seeking a waiver to the core medical services requirement must submit a waiver request either with this grant application, at any time up to the application submission, or up to 4 months after the start of the grant award for FY 2015. Submission should be in accordance with the Federal Register Notice, Vol. 78, No.101, dated Friday, May 24, 2013, and may be found at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-05-24/pdf/2013-12354.pdf. The HAB Policy 13-07, Federal Register Notice and Sample Letters can all be found at http://hab.hrsa.gov/manageyourgrant/policiesletters.html. If submitting with the application, a core medical services waiver request should be included as Attachment 10. &amp;#183; Agreements and Compliance Assurances are included (Appendix A) with this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), and require the signature of the Chief Elected Official (CEO), or the CEO&amp;#191;s designee; this document should be included as Attachment 9.</Description>

        <Description>Depending on the availability of funds, NOAA expects to have approximately $3,200,000 available for a national competition to fund marine aquaculture research projects for FY 2012. This is part of the overall plan to support the development of environmentally and economically sustainable ocean, coastal, or Great Lakes aquaculture. Aquaculture that occurs in the Great Lakes or its coastal zone is considered marine aquaculture for this competition. Priorities for this FY 2012 competition include: Research to inform specific regulatory decisions; Research that supports multi-use spatial planning; and Socio-economic research targeted to understand aquaculture in a larger context. Proposals must be able to express how the proposed work will have a high probability of significantly advancing U.S. marine aquaculture development in the short-term (1-2 years) or medium-term (3-5 years). This Federal Funding Opportunity includes information on application and criteria for aquaculture research projects requesting a total of $50,000 to $500,000 in federal funding for up to a two-year period. Matching funds are required. Given the anticipated amount of funding and the anticipated number and quality of proposals submitted, it is anticipated that at least seven projects will be awarded in FY 2012. Additional proposals from this competition may be selected for funding in the next fiscal year, subject to the availability of funds. Ideally, awards are anticipated to start no later than September 1, 2012.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for an interdisciplinary center focused on the application of a life cycle perspective towards the development of materials. The aim of the center will be to develop methodologies and practices for materials design which applies a holistic perspective. This holistic approach to design, which considers all the stages of a material&amp;#146;s life cycle, provides an opportunity to produce materials which minimize, and preferably eliminate, any associated potential environmental and human health impacts that may occur during the life cycle.</Description>

        <Description>The United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development in Zimbabwe (USAID/Zimbabwe), intends to award a cooperative agreement for the Poverty Reduction and Food Security-Crop Development (PRFS-CD) program. The project will be performed in Zimbabwe and the period of performance will be five (5) years from the date of award. USAID/Zimbabwe intends to limit competition to local Zimbabwean organizations. A total of $8 million is available for this cooperative agreement, and only one cooperative agreement will be awarded.USAID/Zimbabwe&amp;#146;s new Poverty Reduction and Food Security Program (PRFS) aims to: (1) reduce rural poverty and increase incomes and food security of targeted smallholder agricultural producers through increased agricultural production and productivity, and market linkages; (2) improve the hygiene and nutrition practices leading to improved nutritional status of beneficiary households; and (3) build the capacity of local organizations to implement agricultural development activities funded by USAID. The overall PRFS program targets assistance to four sub-sectors: high value crops, staple food crops, beef cattle, and dairy cattle. The cooperative agreement contemplated by this anticipated request for applications will focus on high value crops and staple food crops components. A separate Request for Proposals is anticipated for the beef and dairy cattle components, with a capacity building component as well. Innovative approaches are encouraged.

        <Description>The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is soliciting competitive applications for the FY2012 Pacific Islands Region Marine Turtle Management Program to fund conservation, protection, or management actions supporting recovery of Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed sea turtle species occurring within the Pacific Islands Region (PIR) or aggregations that may be shared between the PIR and other Pacific nations. NMFS will consider internationally-based projects targeting sea turtle populations that originate from the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (i.e., from areas outside U.S. jurisdiction) but which migrate through or forage within the PIR and are impacted by PIR activities managed by NMFS, as well as projects that are otherwise relevant to NMFS management and recovery obligations. The PIR is comprised of the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) adjacent to the State of Hawaii, U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the U.S. Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIAs) of Jarvis, Johnston, Wake, Howland and Baker Islands, Kingman Reef, and Palmyra and Midway Atolls. Sea turtle species with documented linkages to the PIR include: leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), North and South Pacific loggerhead (Caretta caretta) Distinct Population Segments, green (Chelonia mydas), and olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea).</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for P50 Research Center Grants for Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs). The program will fund P50 SPORE grants to support state-of-the-art investigator-initiated translational research that will contribute to improved prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of an organ-specific cancer (or a related group of cancers). For the purpose of this funding announcement, cancers derived from the same organ system (i.e., group of organs that perform common function) are considered related. Examples of such organ systems include gastro-intestinal, endocrine, circulatory, and other biological systems. Other programmatically appropriate groups of cancers may include those centered around a common biological mechanism critical for promoting tumorigenesis and/or cancer progression in organ sites that belong to different organ systems. For example, a SPORE may focus on cancers caused by the same infectious agent, or sustained and promoted by dysregulation of a common signaling pathway. SPOREs are expected not only to conduct a wide spectrum of research activities, but also to contribute significantly to the development of specialized shared resources core facilities, improved research model systems, and collaborative research projects with other institutions. The research supported through this program must be translational in nature and must always be focused upon knowledge of human biology stemming from research using cellular, molecular, structural, biochemical, and/or genetic experimental approaches with the goal of a translational human endpoint within the project period of the grant. In addition, SPOREs must include both a Developmental Research Program for pilot studies and a Career Enhancement Program to foster careers in translational research related to the focus of the SPORE. </Description>

The program is focused on multidisciplinary research efforts where more than one traditional discipline interacts to provide rapid advances in scientific areas of interest to the DoD. As defined by the DoD, &amp;#147;basic research is systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. It includes all scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. It is farsighted high payoff research that provides the basis for technological progress.&amp;#148; (DoD 7000.14.R, vol. 2B, chap.5). DoD&amp;#146;s basic research program invests broadly in many specific fields to ensure that it has early cognizance of new scientific knowledge</Description>

        <Description>NEH is soliciting proposals from institutions to participate in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). NDNP is creating a national digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1836 and 1922, from all the states and U.S. territories. This searchable database will be permanently maintained at the Library of Congress (LC) and will be freely accessible via the Internet. (See the website, Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers.) An accompanying national newspaper directory of bibliographic and holdings information on the website directs users to newspaper titles available in all types of formats. During the course of its partnership with NEH, LC will also digitize and contribute to the NDNP database a significant number of newspaper pages drawn from its own collections. NEH intends to support projects in all states and U.S. territories, provided that sufficient funds allocated for this purpose are available. One organization within each U.S. state or territory will receive an award to collaborate with relevant state partners in this effort. Previously funded projects will be eligible to receive supplements for continued work, but the program will give priority to new projects. In particular, the program will give priority to projects from states and territories that have not received NDNP funding. Applications that involve collaboration between previously funded and new projects are welcome. Such collaborations might involve, for example, arranging with current awardees to manage the creation and delivery of digital files; offering regular and ongoing consultation on managing aspects of the project; or providing formal training for project staff at an onsite institute or workshop. Over a period of two years, successful applicants will select newspapers&amp;#191;published in their state or territory between 1836 and 1922&amp;#191;and convert approximately 100,000 pages into digital files (primarily from microfilm), according to the technical guidelines (PDF) outlined by the Library of Congress. Applicants may select titles published in Danish, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. (More languages will be added in future years.) </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement: P12AC10084 Project Title: Artists in Residence Program Recipient: Alaska Geographic Principle Investigator: Lisa Oakley Total Anticipated Award Amount: $80,000 Cost Share: N/A New Award Or Continuation: New Anticipated Length of Agreement: 5 years Anticipated Period of Performance: December 30, 2011 &amp;#150; December 30, 2016 Award Instrument: CESU Task Agreement Statutory Authority: Agreements Concerning Cooperative Research and Training on NPS Resources (16 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 1a-2(j)): The Secretary may enter into agreements with public or private educational institutions, States and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing adequate, coordinated, cooperative research and training programs concerning the resources of the National Park System, and pursuant to such agreements, to accept from and make available to the cooperator such technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and equipment, facilities, and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate. CFDA: 15.945 &amp;#150; Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#150; Resources of the National Park System Develop and Implement Artist-in-Residence Program at Sitka National Historical Park Project Abstract: Through this agreement, the National Park Service (NPS) will work with Alaska Geographic (AKGEO) to set up and administer a pilot Artist in Residence Program at Sitka National Historical Park. This collaboration will ensure that Native cultural demonstrations and interpretive programming at Sitka National Historical Park&amp;#146;s cultural center will continue uninterrupted through September of 2012. Background: Sitka National Historical Park&amp;#146;s Foundation Statement expressly states that the park will &amp;#147;foster the preservation and interpretation of Southeast Alaska Native culture.&amp;#148; Historically, this goal had been achieved through a longstanding partnership with the non-profit Southeast Alaska Indian Cultural Center (SEAICC). Since a cooperative agreement with SEAICC was not signed in 2011, the park is developing an alternative strategy for successfully meeting the same objective. Artist-in- Residence program will be established in 2012, then evaluated and adapted for future years to fulfill SITK&amp;#146;s mission and meet the public interest in the culture of Southeast Alaska. This program has been designed to recruit four volunteer artists; two of the artists will be Sitka Native artists volunteering for four months each and the other two Native artists (either local or non-local) who will volunteer for two months each. Over the years, Alaska Geographic has played a substantial role in supporting the park&amp;#146;s demonstration arts program. The NPS and Alaska Geographic wish to continue their support of this educational programming by creating Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program at Sitka National Historical Park. An AIR program will ensure that Alaska Native cultural demonstrations and interpretive programming at the park&amp;#146;s cultural center will be featured during 2012. Project Description: Alaska Geographic will partner with the National Park Service to develop an Artist-in-Residence program that targets Southeast Alaska Native artists skilled in traditional arts. Alaska Geographic will play a substantial role in supporting the cultural demonstration program at Sitka National Historical Park by: &amp;#149; Publicizing and advertising the program throughout Southeast Alaska; &amp;#149; Assisting the AIR program coordinator, a National Park Service employee, with the juried selection process; &amp;#149; Facilitating logistics of artists&amp;#146; visits and attendant travel and housing details; &amp;#149; Purchasing of supplies and materials; &amp;#149; Developing, coordinating, and sponsoring workshops, conference and symposia on southeast Alaska Native cultures. Objectives of the project will be: &amp;#149; To establish and administer a prototype Artist-in-Residence program, evaluate, adapt, and operate an Artist-in-Residence program or similar program in succeeding years if deemed desirable; &amp;#149; To enable Sitka National Historical Park to continue to succeed in fostering the preservation and perpetuation of Southeast Alaska Native arts and traditions; &amp;#149; To provide local residents and visitors with opportunities to learn about Southeast Alaska cultural values and activities. JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (or SINGLE SOURCE) FOR DISCRETIONARY COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS _______________________________________________ TITLE: Develop and Implement Artist-in-Residence Program at Sitka National Historical Park BACKGROUND: For the past 42 years, Sitka National Historical Park had a cooperating partner, the Southeast Alaska Indian Cultural Center. The Center housed resident and demonstration arts programs, provided workshops, generated art for displays and acted as a key resource for perpetuating Southeast Alaska Native art and culture. Its function and mission was closely aligned with the park&amp;#146;s own mission of perpetuating key elements of Southeast Alaska Native culture, as embodied in totem poles, metal-working art forms and weaving art forms. In 2011, after several years during which the Center had a constantly-rotating board and executive director, and was not able to generate funding to support its operations and programs, the National Park Service decided not to sign a new agreement, and the relationship ended. Because the mission of the park involves the perpetuation of Native culture and art, and because the visitor experience at the park is closely intertwined with the presence of Native artists, the park has sought a partner who can manage the strategy and execution of a Native Artist-in Residence program during the peak visitor season in the summer of 2012 and potentially generate a prototype model which can be used in the future. Single Source Justification: 1) 505 DM 2 Single Source - Only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements. &amp;#149; Alaska Geographic is a cooperating agency of the Sitka National Historical Park, and is uniquely positioned to act as a partner with Sitka National Historical Park&amp;#146;s Interpretive and Cultural Resource Teams on this Artist-in-Residence project. Alaska Geographic has recently partnered with the park on three of the park&amp;#146;s major Centennial events, the March 2010 birthday celebration, the 2010 International Conference on Russian America and the installation of the Kiks.adi Survival March Plaque. All three events had deep involvement of Tlingit artists, elders and clans. Alaska Geographic has for many years maintained a bookstore and/or kiosk at the park, and has reviewed, edited, selected and sold many works of literature and art associated with the work of Native artists. Alaska Geographic knows our public and the Native art forms. Alaska Geographic knows Alaska history. It has intimate knowledge of the park, the clans and the Native tradition, all of which will figure prominently in this proposed program of Artists in Residence. In addition, Alaska Geographic has membership, web outreach and publications which will make possible the widest possible dissemination of information about this program, and about the park and the people which define its historic and present-day connections and importance to perpetuation of Native art. 2) Nature and description of the deliverables required to meet the agency&amp;#146;s needs: &amp;#149; Description of the deliverables and the required delivery schedule. o Alaska Geographic will develop with the park a program plan, to ensure the visiting artists program is set up to be a successful element of the park visitor experience. This program plan should be completed by February 15, 2012. o Alaska Geographic will develop with the park a plan for soliciting and selecting the visiting artists, and scheduling the sequence of their tenures at the park. These steps should be completed by March 1, 2012. o Alaska Geographic will work with Sitka National Historical Park to manage the inauguration of the program through on-site presence as the summer visitor season begins, on May 5, 2012. o Alaska Geographic will develop and forward an after-action report and detailed expenditures report at the completion of the program, by October 31, 2012. &amp;#149; The minimum essential characteristics or unique features of the item(s). If requesting a service, fully describe all services to be performed. o Joining with park planners to lay out essential features of the visiting artists program &amp;#150; who should be invited based on artistic merit and reputation, how the program should be conducted, and what public events should be included as elements of the summer visiting artists program. o Joining with park planners to identify key clan leaders to identify the key support to be provided each artist, including studio space, supplies, connections to clan, tribe and other native organizations, public notice of the program and their presence, housing, honoraria and other support. o Consulting and advising the park planners on how the program can most effectively be recorded and then made available to the public, including through traditional and social media, including NPS and Alaska Geogrpahic publications and web sites. &amp;#149; State the price of the requirement &amp;#150; base year and every additional anticipated agreement period thereafter. o Base year FY 2012: For visiting artist travel: $1500 o Base year FY 2012: For Alaska Geographic staff travel and accommodation at the event: $1,000 o For visiting artists&amp;#146; honoraria: $4,500 o For artists&amp;#146; supplies and studio maintenance: $1,000 o For four months of artists&amp;#146; housing: $7,670 (please note&amp;#151;the price reflects elevated summer rates) o For program events: $500 o Base Year FY2012: For indirect costs at 17.5%: $2830 3) Criteria for justifying award without competition. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria. Please explain which criterion specifically addresses the proposed agreement. &amp;#149; Unique Qualifications Alaska Geographic is uniquely qualified to work as Sitka National Historical Park&amp;#146;s partner in this event because of a combination of factors that is possessed by no other organization: years of experience working with the park; years of experience working with Native issue and specifically with the culture and history of Southeast Alaska Native people; a reach and depth of audience that is deeply invested in preserving the cultural, historic and natural resources of Alaska, such as is embodied in the park itself; specific expertise on programs with such roots in culture and history; specific experience with and support of the park&amp;#146;s Centennial events already completed; and specific expertise with a highly successful Artist-in-Resident program with another national park, Denali. 4) A description of the market research that was conducted and the results, or a statement of the reason a market research was not conducted: &amp;#149; The type and degree of market survey conducted. o A market research was not formally conducted. Sitka National Historical Park did, however, discuss other organizations with some potential to partner with us. None has the capacity to execute such a program. 5) Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition: Although the Southeast Alaska Indian Cultural Center has provided a connection with Southeast arts by housing demonstration projects and some workshops, the Artist in Residence program is an established NPS program which is not comparable. 6) A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers for competition before any potential future agreement award: &amp;#149; If known, provide information on any new technology or new source that will be available in the future. &amp;#149; Describe any measures being taken to foster competition for future acquisitions of the same item or service. o During the past 18 months, Sitka National Historical Park has managed or co-managed seven major events &amp;#150; the March 2010 100th anniversary celebration, the June 2010 Alutiiq-Tlingit Cultural Sharing, the August 2010 International Conference on Russian America, the October 2010 Alaska Day Festival whose theme was the park&amp;#146;s centennial, the February 2011 Survival March Plaque dedication and installation, the May 2011 Centennial Totem Pole Raising, and the August 2011 Tlingit-Alutiiq Cultural Sharing. Each of the events had partners. And each event had a primary partner that was different, although some partners have participated in more than one event, Alaska Geographic among them. The park staff has sought to built and strengthen partnerships with a variety of non-profit agencies. For example, Sitka Historical Society was a major partner for the Russian American Conference. Sitka Cultural Center and the National Park Foundation were primary partners for the Alutiiq-Tlingit Culural Sharing, while the Woody Island Tribe of Kodiak was the partner for the reciprocal event, the Tlingit-Alutiiq Culutral Sharing. We are consciously trying to engage as many quality partners in these events, of which Alaska Geographic and the Artists in Residence program is another example. Our goal as outlined in the GPRA partnership metrics is to build the park&amp;#146;s relationships with community organizations and non-profits. This will continue into the future. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has issued Program Announcement No. OWBO-2012-02 to invite private, 501(c)-certified nonprofit organizations that are currently in SBA&amp;#146;s WBC program that will have successfully completed an initial 5-year WBC grant by September 29, 2012 or those centers that will have successfully completed a 3-year renewal WBC grant by September 29, 2012 and that continue to meet the program criteria as provided in the Eligibility section of the program announcement to apply for a three year WBC renewal grant. Successful applicants will receive awards in the form of a cooperative agreement for the base year. Two additional option years may be exercised, subject to the availability of funding and the WBC&amp;apos;s performance during the previous year. An SBA women&amp;apos;s business center is a program or project funded, in part, by a grant from the SBA to provide technical assistance, such as training and counseling to women entrepreneurs, both nascent and owners of existing businesses. The WBC may exist within the framework of a larger economic development organization and may make use of the resources provided by that organization, and must be a clearly identifiable separate program or project of that entity. The function of the Women&amp;apos;s Business Center Program Renewal Grant is to provide continued funding for women&amp;apos;s business centers to provide technical assistance to women entrepreneurs, both nascent and established. A representative number of clients served by each WBC must be socially and economically disadvantaged. WBC grant recipients must provide assistance to women entrepreneurs in the areas of finance, management, marketing, and other areas as defined in Program Announcement OWBO-2012-02. Program authority is detailed in the Small Business Act, Sections 2(h) and 29 (15 U.S.C. Sections 631(h) and 656), as amended. Award recipients must provide non-federal matching funds as follows: one non-federal dollar for each federal dollar. Up to 50% of the non-federal matching funds may in the form of in-kind contributions and at least 50% of the non-federal matching funds must be in cash.</Description>

        <Description>USDOL/ILAB intends to award up to USD 2 million for one cooperative agreement to fund a technical assistance project in Peru. The purpose for funding this project is to help build the labor law enforcement capacity of the Peruvian labor inspectorate, with a focus on the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE)&amp;#146;s newly-formed National Superintendency of Labor Inspection or Superintendencia Nacional de Fiscalizaci&amp;#243;n Laboral (SUNAFIL). The project will help the MTPE in its transition from a decentralized to a more centralized labor law enforcement system and will help ensure more effective labor law enforcement at the national and regional levels. The project will focus particularly on improving the MTPE&amp;apos;s enforcement of laws, regulations, and other legal instruments governing subcontracting/outsourcing and the use of short-term employment contracts, especially in the nontraditional export sectors (e.g., mining, agriculture, fishing, and textiles). The duration of the project funded by this announcement is up to 4.5 years (54 months) from the effective date of award. The project start date will be negotiated upon award of the individual cooperative agreement but will be no later than December 31, 2014. ILAB&amp;#146;s mission is to use all available international channels to improve working conditions, raise living standards, protect workers&amp;#146; ability to exercise their rights, and address the workplace exploitation of children and other vulnerable populations. ILAB is authorized to award and administer cooperative agreements by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, Pub. Law 113-76. Cooperative agreements awarded under this solicitation will be administered by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and technically managed by ILAB&amp;#146;s Office of Trade and Labor Affairs (OTLA). The mission of OTLA is to implement trade-related labor policy and coordinate international technical cooperation in support of the labor provisions in free trade agreements; to develop and implement the Department of Labor&amp;apos;s policy positions on international economic and trade issues; and to fund and oversee technical assistance projects addressing worker rights issues in key trading partner countries. </Description>

        <Description>Two major survey reports carried out by the National Academy of Sciences have identified the need for a Giant Segmented Mirror Telescope (GSMT) to address frontier astrophysical research questions in a wide array of subfields. This solicitation invites proposals to establish an initial framework for a U.S. community partnership in a proposed GSMT deriving from past, current, or potential future NSF support for design work, construction, instrumentation, and/or operations. Based on a detailed competitive review of the resulting proposals, an award will be made for further development of a public/private/international partnership model under a cooperative agreement between a GSMT project and NSF. During the award period, GSMT project management and representatives from NSF and the U.S. astronomical community are expected to refine the roles of NSF and the community in project development, engage in planning science and engineering operations, prepare for potential future Federal funding opportunities after the start of the next decade. Selection as an awardee in this process does not imply that a GSMT will be approved for further funding.</Description>

        <Description>The Common Fund Program - Accelerating Translation of Glycoscience: Integration and Accessibility - aims to develop accessible and affordable new tools and technologies for studying carbohydrates that will enable researchers in all biomedical fields to dramatically advance our understanding of the roles of these complex molecules in health and disease and to not abandon glycan discovery due to the difficulty or inability to study them. The program will invest in three areas: facile methods and technologies for carbohydrate synthesis, accessible tools for probing and analyzing carbohydrates, and carbohydrate data integration and analysis tools. This R34 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for preliminary research and formation of research teams that will lay the groundwork for the inclusive, community-driven development of accessible resources for integration and analysis of carbohydrate and glycoconjugate structural, analytical, and interaction data in the context of comparable gene, protein, and lipid data. A subsequent FOA will invite applications for full support of that effort. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command&amp;#146;s (USAMRMC) mission is to provide solutions to medical problems of importance to the American Service member at home and abroad, as well as to the general public at large. The scope of this effort and the priorities attached to specific projects are influenced by changes in military and civilian medical science and technology, operational requirements, military threat assessments, and national defense strategies. The extramural research and development programs play a vital role in the fulfillment of the objectives established by the USAMRMC. General information on USAMRMC can be obtained at https://mrmc.detrick.army.mil/. This Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is intended to solicit extramural research and development ideas and is issued under the provisions of the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-369), as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.102(d)(2) and 35.016. In accordance with FAR 6.102, projects funded under this BAA must be for basic and applied research and that part of development not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. Projects must be for scientific study and experimentation directed toward advancing the state-of-the-art or increasing knowledge or understanding rather than focusing on a specific system or hardware solution. Research and development funded through this BAA is intended and expected to benefit and inform both military and civilian medical practice and knowledge. This FY15 BAA is continuously open for a 12-month period, from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Submission of a pre-proposal/pre-application is required and must be submitted through the new electronic Biomedical Research Application Portal (eBRAP) (https://eBRAP.org/). Pre-proposal/pre-applications may be submitted at any time throughout the 12-month period. If the USAMRMC is interested in receiving a full proposal/application, the PI will be sent an invitation to submit via eBRAP. A full proposal/application must be submitted through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/). Invited full proposals/applications can be submitted under the FY15 BAA through September 30, 2015. </Description>

        <Description>Preservation Assistance Grants help small and mid-sized institutions&amp;#151;such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, cultural organizations, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities&amp;#151;improve their ability to preserve and care for their significant humanities collections. These may include special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine art objects, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, historical objects, and digital materials. Applicants must draw on the knowledge of consultants whose preservation skills and experience are related to the types of collections and the nature of the activities that are the focus of their projects. Within the conservation field, for example, conservators usually specialize in the care of specific types of collections, such as objects, paper, or paintings. Applicants should therefore choose a conservator whose specialty is appropriate for the nature of their collections. Similarly, when assessing the preservation needs of archival holdings, applicants must seek a consultant specifically knowledgeable about archives and preservation. Because the organization and the preservation of archival collections must be approached in tandem, an archival consultant should also provide advice about the management and processing needs of such holdings as part of a preservation assessment that includes long-term plans for the arrangement and description of archival collections. Small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant are especially encouraged to apply.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is committed to advancing the Administration?s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prepare the United States for the impacts of climate change, and lead international efforts to address global climate change. In recognition of the importance of the dual policy goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing climate resilience , the DOE? ? in close collaboration with other Federal agencies ? is launching an initiative to identify and showcase U.S. local and tribal governments that have proven to be climate leaders through pursuing opportunities to advance both of these goals in their communities. In particular, the initiative will select 10-15 U.S. local governments and tribal governments ? or regional collaborations or consortia thereof ? that demonstrate a strong and ongoing commitment to implementing strategies that both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance climate resilience, with a particular emphasis on strategies that further both goals. The DOE-led effort will provide a platform for other Federal agencies to participate in, and give leverage to, the activities of communities that are selected for this initiative. The Climate Action Champions competition will recognize local, regional, and tribal government entities that are leading emissions reductions and climate resilience efforts. DOE will work with other Federal partners to provide recognized entities with additional opportunities for financial and technical assistance, as well as facilitated peer-to-peer networking opportunities and mentorship, to support and advance their greenhouse gas emissions reduction and climate resilience objectives. This initiative will have the added objective of aligning assets at the Federal level and marshalling private, public, and philanthropic dollars at the local level. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website.

        <Description>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for an interdisciplinary center focusing on the sustainable molecular design of chemicals. The aim of the center will be to develop a set of parameters and strategies that will establish design criteria regarding the properties of chemicals that will lead to the development of intrinsically less hazardous substances when compared to those currently used in society. These newly acquired criteria and design principles will direct researchers towards the generation of novel chemicals that will minimize, and preferably eliminate, associated potential environmental and human health impacts that may occur during the life cycle of that chemical. The advent of these novel chemicals and their respective discovery of correlations between a chemical&amp;#146;s inherent properties and their adverse impacts require the development of improved methods for the design of next generation chemicals.</Description>

        <Description>The Secretary of the Interior established the Land Buy-Back Program for Tribal Nations (Buy-Back Program, Program) to implement the land consolidation provisions of the Cobell Settlement Agreement, which provided $1.9 billion to consolidate fractional land interests across Indian country. The Buy-Back Program allows interested individual owners to sell their land for immediate transfer to the recognized tribe that exercises jurisdiction. This effort will strengthen tribal sovereignty and put decision-making in the hands of the tribal government, freeing up resources that have been locked-up as land interests that have fractionated over time. The Buy-Back Program is interested in partnering with eligible tribes to gain their direct participation in land consolidation efforts given tribes&amp;#146; unique qualifications to perform land consolidation activities for their reservations. Consequently, the Program intends to, whenever feasible and practical, enter into single source cooperative agreements with eligible tribes to not only capitalize on their unique knowledge of their reservations but also to improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the Program. Eligible tribes will be given the opportunity to apply for a cooperative agreement, if desired, prior to the implementation of the Buy-Back Program at the location under their jurisdiction. More information is available at: http://www.doi.gov/buybackprogram/tribes/agreements.cfm. Tribes are encouraged to contact Program staff for more information on developing the cooperative agreement application prior to submission. Tribes are not required to enter into cooperative agreements to participate in the Program. In certain cases, it may be unnecessary and other vehicles, such as memorandums of agreements, may be used. The Settlement Agreement limits the amount of funding that may be used for implementation costs associated with the Program (e.g., outreach, land research, and appraisals). Thus, to help ensure that it stays within the established limit on implementation costs, the Program will fund indirect costs through cooperative agreements equal to no more than 15% of the modified total direct costs. PLEASE NOTE: This is a 10-year program. The expiration on this posting reflects this current opportunity, and new opportunities will be posted over the duration of the Program. In addition, given that the Cobell Settlement specifically limits overall implementation costs for the duration of the Program, cooperative agreement awards are not intended to fund or support long-term, multi-year programs at each location or reservation. Most awards will provide funding for no longer than 1 year, and tribes are encouraged to utilize the award amount to work with existing tribal land offices and programs. Tribes are also encouraged to first review mapping and other information available from the Program and to work with Program staff in the in development of the cooperative agreement application. </Description>

        <Description>Due to the high HIV prevalence in the prisons and limited access to comprehensive HIV services among the prisoners and prison staff, the purpose of this FOA is to support and strengthen the delivery of evidence-based comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and support services to the prisoners and prison staff of the Uganda Prisons Service (UPS). This is in line with the CDC program goal of supporting Uganda to achieve an AIDS Free Generation through universal coverage (&amp;gt; 80%) of combination prevention interventions in a way that is accountable, engenders country ownership, and builds national capacity. The program objectives aligned with this FOA include: &amp;#149; Contribute to the Ministry of Health strategic goal to reduce the national HIV incidence rate by 40% within 5 years through scaling-up evidence-based, effective, combination prevention interventions that reflect the nature of the epidemic. &amp;#149; Contribute to the Ministry of Health strategic goal to increase Anti-Retroviral Therapy coverage among eligible persons from 44% to 80% by 2016. &amp;#149; Support the MOH in increasing coverage of HIV care (including Tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections) among HIV-infected persons from 54% to 80%. </Description>

        <Description>This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to the American Littoral Society. This is DOI project #EBFCM 37. This announcement is for notification purposes only. The intent of the award is to restore and enhance brackish tidal wetland health and resiliency in the Mud, Mill and Baldridge Creek watersheds, Pennsville Township, Salem County, New Jersey. Brackish tidal marshes are a critical component of the Delaware Bay estuary system. The initial phase will be to complete the analysis of site conditions, including but not limited to riparian habitat conditions, drainage, flows, and sediment characterizations, wetland assessment, and topographic surveys and modeling to evaluate the feasibility of removing the stone revetments, and enhancing and creating brackish tidal marshes in the Mud, Mill and Baldridge Creek watersheds. This will be followed immediately by design, permitting, replacement of stone revetments with living shorelines, wetland habitat enhancements and creation of a tidal riverine wetland in Goose Pond. This award is issued to provide financial assistance to collaboratively-developed priority projects in Hurricane Sandy disaster areas that will restore environmental resources through collaborative efforts with local communities. The project is expected to restore ecosystem function, enhance the resiliency of the Mud, Mill and Baldridge Creek watersheds to sea level rise, and to provide improved fish and wildlife habitat. This project was previously vetted and approved for funding by the Department of the Interior. The appropriation for this project is the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2. Criteria for funding was based on the project&amp;#191;s ability to yield the greatest return on investment by taking advantage of existing science and regional planning tools for resiliency and by working with states, cities, communities, and partners who contribute to the goals of restoring and rebuilding national wildlife refuges and other federal public assets; and to increase resiliency and the capacity of coastal habitat and infrastructure and to withstand future storms and to minimize the damage incurred. </Description>

        <Description>This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to the American Littoral Society. This announcement is for notification purposes only. This requirement falls under DOI Project Number EBFCM 37. The intent of the award is to restore saltmarsh health and resiliency at Reeds Beach in the Bidwells Creek Watershed, Middle Township Cape May County, New Jersey. The saltmarsh at Reeds Beach is a critical component of the Delaware Bay estuary system. The initial phase will be to complete the analysis of site conditions, including but not limited to saltmarsh habitat conditions, drainage, flows, and sediment characterizations, wetland assessment, and topographic surveys and modeling to evaluate the feasibility of beneficial use of dredge materials to raise the elevation of saltmarsh threatened by sea level rise. This will be followed immediately by design, permitting and the application of dredged sediment to low lying areas of the marsh. This award is issued to provide financial assistance to collaboratively-developed priority projects in Hurricane Sandy disaster areas that will restore environmental resources through collaborative efforts with local communities. The project is expected to, restore ecosystem function, enhance the resiliency of saltmarshes to sea level rise, and to provide improved fish and wildlife habitat. This project was previously vetted and approved for funding by the Department of the Interior. The appropriation for this project is the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2.

        <Description>The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-265) amended Section 22 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA), to establish a requirement that State agencies (SAs) conduct additional administrative reviews (AARs) of selected local educational agencies. It also amended Section 7 of the Child Nutrition Act to provide funding for States to be used for administrative reviews and training of local educational agencies. Both of these requirements are focused on school food authorities (SFAs) which have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for, administrative error. To assist SAs in achieving these requirements, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will fund FY 2012 Administrative Review and Training (ART) Method I Grants. The ART Method I grant funds will be available only to the 57 SAs that administer the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) for the purpose of conducting AARs of SFAs that have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for, administrative error. ART Method I grant funding will be awarded to assist SAs in conducting AARs as required under Section 22 of the NSLA. An AAR in the NSLP includes, but is not limited to, a review of applications, certification, verification, and/or meal counting, and meal claiming procedures. These areas are covered by the Coordinated Review Effort (CRE) Performance Standard (PS1) and the verification component of the general areas of review. The CRE procedures for these areas, as specified in 7 CFR 210.18, must be used to conduct the additional review(s) unless alternate procedures are approved by FNS. If an AAR results in significant findings, the SA must conduct a follow-up review to confirm that all required corrective actions have been implemented. The requirement for AARs of such SFAs for school year 2011-2012 is described in FNS Memorandum SP 48-2011 (Additional Administrative Reviews (AAR) and State Retention of Improperly-Paid Funds in School Year (SY) 2011-2012, September 6, 2011), which can be found on the Agency&amp;#146;s PartnerWeb at https://www.partnerweb.usda.gov and FNS website at http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/Governance/policy.htm. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>The Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) is an agency of the Government of Rwanda (GOR) Ministry of Health (MOH) and was created by law No54/2010 January 25, 2011. RBC was established as the national coordinating body for HIV/AIDS related interventions in Rwanda. RBC has the mandate to: establish and implement national HIV/AIDS controls strategy and policy; serve as the central organization for coordinating the development of national strategies and action plans with broad input from stakeholders involved in HIV/AIDS control from public sector and civil society; and sensitize the general population about HIV prevention and control.      RBC also has the mandate to coordinate a multi-sector approach to HIV/AIDS activities within the country. Within the organizational structure of RBC are the following governmental entities: The Institute for HIV/AIDS, Disease, Prevention and Control (IPDPC), National Reference Laboratory and the National Center for Blood Transfusion. These GOR entities are what qualify RBC as the only organization to implement the activities set forth in this announcement.      The Institute for HIV/AIDS, Disease Prevention and Control (IHDPC) coordinates all national clinical programs for HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB and other epidemic services. Its priority areas are the care and treatment of PLWHA, expansion of VCT, PMTCT and VMMC services, and epidemiological surveillance of HIV/AIDS.      The National Reference Laboratory (NRL) has a mandate to oversee, support and develop a national laboratory program aligned with the decentralized health system. NRL develops policies and regulations for medical laboratories, conducts specialized testing, monitors the performance and operation of other laboratories in Rwanda, and establishes relations and collaborations with other national and international agencies carrying out similar responsibilities.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>The National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) is the only institution mandated by the Government of Tanzania (Mainland) to carry out blood transfusion services in the country. It was established in 2004 with the goal of ensuring safe and sufficient blood supply for the country. Prior to 2004, blood was obtained solely from family replacement donors at fragmented hospital based transfusion units that lacked standardization of procedures. The Policy guidelines on blood transfusion in (2006) recommended a shift from hospital based transfusion service to centralized system which would later be semi-autonomous and independent. This system ensures standardization with improved quality of blood supply and thus less transmission of HIV and other transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs). It also ensures that the same standard operating procedures (SOPs) are used nationally in the various blood transfusion centers. It is therefore necessary for this work to be coordinated by NBTS under the MOHSW.  From 2005 to 2014, there have been two, five year cooperative agreements between CDC and NBTS.    </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The purpose of this research is to design and test the feasibility of a surveillance system for congenital and inherited conditions that have low prevalence but high health and economic impact in the U.S. population that will support description of this population across the lifespan. Initial design of this surveillance system will focus on three conditions which exemplify different types of disorders: e.g. spina bifida is an example of a neurological condition affecting mobility; muscular dystrophy is an example of a neuromuscular condition; and fragile X syndrome is an example of a condition affecting cognition and behavior. The project will develop a prototype surveillance system that, if found effective, can serve as a model for other low prevalence/high impact conditions. There is currently no system or integrated approach to identify and describe persons affected by these conditions, thus limiting opportunities to understand, intervene, and improve health services and public health outcomes for those people affected with these conditions and their families. A system focused on low prevalence/high impact conditions may assist public health practitioners, clinicians, and other groups to: describe the epidemiology and the features of secondary health conditions associated with these disorders; monitor the progress of public health interventions, develop screening strategies for the detection of new cases, inform policies aimed at improving the healthcare delivered to these patients, and address potential differences or disparities in the impact of these conditions on the population. In short, this research effort will explore how different systems and data sources may be used to improve health services and health outcomes among people affected with selected conditions and their relatives. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), seeks to support collaborative preliminary intervention studies to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability and safety of novel mechanism drug candidates, promising investigational new drugs (INDs), or novel psychosocial strategies for the treatment of mental disorders and for obtaining the preliminary data needed as a pre-requisite to larger-scale (efficacy or effectiveness) intervention or services studies. This FOA should be used when at least two but no more than three sites from different Institutions/Organizations are needed to complete the study. The collaborating studies should be organized in order to increase sample size, accelerate recruitment, and/or increase sample diversity and representation. For a linked set of collaborative R34s, each site shall have its own Program Director/Principal Investigator and provide for a mechanism for cross-site coordination, quality control, database management, statistical analysis, and reporting. </Description>

        <Description>An organization may submit only one application through one of the following FY 2013 Grants for Arts Projects categories: Art Works or Challenge America Fast-Track. The Arts Endowment&amp;apos;s support of a project may start on or after January 1, 2013. The NEA&amp;apos;s guiding principle is embodied in one sentence: &amp;quot;Art works.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Art works&amp;quot; is a noun; the creation of works of art by artists. &amp;quot;Art works&amp;quot; is a verb; art works on and within people to change and inspire them. &amp;quot;Art works&amp;quot; is a statement; arts jobs are real jobs that are part of the real economy. Art Works encourages and supports the following four outcomes: &amp;#149;Creation: The creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence, &amp;#149;Engagement: Public engagement with diverse and excellent art, &amp;#149;Learning: Lifelong learning in the arts, and &amp;#149;Livability: The strengthening of communities through the arts. You will be asked to select the outcome that is most relevant to your project, and you also will be able to select a secondary outcome (note that all Arts Education applicants must choose the Learning outcome as their primary outcome). When making selections, you should identify the outcome(s) that reflect the results expected to be achieved by your project. If you receive a grant, you also will be asked to provide evidence of those results. </Description>

The goals of this next phase are to complete the third wave of longitudinal data collection and enhance content in the area of daily stress; complete the second wave of data collection of clinical biomarkers and affective neuroscience assessments; continue innovative sub-studies such as how psychosocial influences affect gene expression and novel methods to track and reinstate non-responders; connect these content areas through innovative analyses to data on health, functioning, personality, cognitive status, affective functioning, economic well-being, social relationships, and well-being; and maintain and enhance data distribution and user support. A central goal of the MIDUS study is to support data dissemination, user support of public use files, and encourage data use broadly by the scientific community. </Description>

        <Description>An organization may submit only one application through one of the following FY 2013 Grants for Arts Projects categories: Art Works or Challenge America Fast-Track. The Arts Endowment&amp;apos;s support of a project may start on or after January 1, 2013. The Challenge America Fast-Track category offers support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations -- those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. Age alone (e.g., youth, seniors) does not qualify a group as underserved; at least one of the underserved characteristics noted above also must be present. Grants are available for professional arts programming and for projects that emphasize the potential of the arts in community development. This category encourages and supports the following two outcomes: &amp;#149;Engagement: Engaging the public with diverse and excellent art. &amp;#149;Livability: The strengthening of communities through the arts. You will be asked to select the outcome that is most relevant to your project (you also will be able to select a secondary outcome). When making selections, you should identify the outcome(s) that reflect the results expected to be achieved by your project. If you receive a grant, you also will be asked to provide evidence of those results. </Description>

        <Description>National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters is releasing an Appendix to the current Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2015 (REDDI) NASA Research Announcement (NRA) for initial studies of visionary aerospace concepts. NNH15ZOA001N, entitled NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts: Phase I Studies, will be available as of October 10th, 2014 by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Open Solicitations.&amp;quot; This NRA Appendix will solicit multiple studies, each of which will investigate an architecture, mission, or system concept with the potential to enable a great leap in space or aeronautics. Aerospace architecture, mission, or system concepts proposed for NIAC Phase I study must be exciting, unexplored, far-term, and credible. Proposals for narrow technology or subsystem development, or incremental or near-term advancement, are explicitly out of scope for this program. Finally, while NIAC encourages daring vision and accepts the accompanying risk, proposals must be technically credible and plausibly implementable. NIAC is part of the Space Technology Mission Directorate. The 2015 NIAC Phase I solicitation will be a two-step process. Step A will be a 3-page white paper plus summary chart. Proposals shall be submitted electronically, and all Step A proposers shall use the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES), accessible at http://nspires.nasaprs.com , or for Step A may also use Grants.gov. Step B full proposals will be eligible only if invited after review of a Step A submission. Step B proposals shall be submitted electronically through NSPIRES only. This solicitation will be an open announcement; anyone is welcome to respond. Affiliation with any educational institution, commercial or not-for-profit organization, research laboratory, government agency, or NASA Center (including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory) is permitted. Individuals may submit, as long as they meet the registration requirements for NSPIRES. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. Each electronic proposal system places requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the electronic proposal system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Specific propo sal submission deadline dates, evaluation criteria, and submission information will be identified in the NRA. Step A White Papers will be due on or before Wednesday, November 12th, 2014; Step B full Proposals will be due on or before Wednesday, January 21st , 2015. 12-16 NIAC Phase I awards are anticipated, but the final number of awards will depend on the quality of proposals and availability of appropriated funds. Comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to NIAC Program representatives at hq-niac@mail.nasa.gov . Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and also included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. </Description>

        <Description>Overview: The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches into NRCS policy, technical manuals, guides, and references, or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. Projects intended to test hypotheses do not qualify for a CIG grant. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology. It is a vehicle to stimulate development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies thathave been studied sufficiently to indicate a high likelihood of success, and that are a candidate for eventual technology transfer or institutionalization. CIG promotes sharing of skills,knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. A two-phase evaluation process will be utilized for applications submitted under this notice. The first phase requires the applicant to submit a pre-proposal. Applications will be evaluated by NRCS staff under the bulleted topics identified by the applicant (see section I.D). Applications will be screened for completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice. Incomplete applications will be eliminated from competition, and notification of elimination will be mailed to the applicant. NRCS will accept applications for single or multi-year projects, not to exceed 3 years, submitted to NRCS from eligible entities including Federally recognized Indian tribes, State and local units of government, and non-governmental organizations and individuals. Applications are accepted from all 50 States, the Caribbean Area (Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands), and the Pacific Islands Area (Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands). NRCS will only request a full proposal package from those applicants selected in the preproposal process. Complete applications received by applicable deadlines will be evaluated by a technical peer review panel based on the Criteria for Application Evaluation identified in the application instructions in section VI.B. 4. Full proposal applications, along with their associated technical peer review, will be forwarded to the Grants Review Board. The Grants Review Board will make recommendations for project approval to the NRCS Chief who will make the final selections.</Description>

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development, Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID/RDMA), is hereby issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for the anticipated &amp;#147;Asian Agricultural Technology Innovation and Transfer&amp;#148; activity. The RFI offers the opportunity for interested individuals and organizations to provide recommendations on approaches for facilitating the creation and diffusion of agricultural technologies within the South and Southeast Asia regions. Stakeholders in the region, including farmers, policy-makers, researchers and the private sector, have identified technology transfer as holding great promise in addressing food security concerns in some of the poorest countries. The diversity across the region is an opportunity for stakeholders to learn from each other and share knowledge and materials across borders to provide improved tools for agricultural production and to reduce post-harvest loss, as well as stronger management systems, to their low-income farmers. As a regional mission, USAID/RDMA is well poised to facilitate action on this opportunity and spur innovation, adaptation, and diffusion throughout the region, with a focus on Feed the Future (FTF) countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Nepal). USAID/RDMA&amp;#146;s Agricultural Learning Exchange for Asian Regional Networking (AgLEARN) ongoing activity has demonstrated some positive examples of technology adaptation and transfer. Using this as a foundation, the proposed activity will explore new pathways toward reaching the U.S. Government&amp;#146;s FTF initiative goals of inclusive agricultural sector growth and improved nutrition. In responding to this RFI, significant emphasis should be placed on discrete and actionable interventions USAID/RDMA could take to support agricultural technology innovation, adaptation, and transfer. Response to this RFI is voluntary. Responders are free to address any or all the above items, as well as provide additional information that they think is relevant to Technology Transfer in Asia. Please note USAID is not seeking technical or cost proposals at this time. Do not submit any proposal/application at this time. Only the information requested above will be considered. Issuance of this notice does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the U.S. Government, nor does it commit the Government to pay for any costs incurred in the preparation of comments. </Description>

        <Description>While the Office of Naval Research (ONR) continues to develop larger format Focal Plane Arrays (FPAs) to provide wide area coverage (e.g., ever increasing swath width) for Electro-Optics Infrared (EO-IR) sensors, it has been recognized that this approach will lead to ever increasing FPA costs. A more cost effective approach (especially for smaller unmanned aerial system (UAS) platforms), could be defined by an investigation of how to achieve sensor performance using smaller, more affordable FPAs by optimizing the imagery from these systems to meet detection, tracking and identification requirements. This BAA seeks to develop techniques to optimize imagery from passive and active EO-IR imaging sensors based on smaller, less expensive FPAs. Some past and on-going ONR efforts include coded sensor processing, compressive sensing, and &amp;quot;Lucky Imaging&amp;quot; algorithms. There may also be techniques for adding processing to read out integrated circuits (ROICs) that will enable better utilization of smaller FPAs. Although this effort is not intended to cover the development of new EO-IR sensor hardware, including FPAs and ROICs, the impact of this investigation may lead to the proposal and implementation of new sensor hardware architectures. The overall intent of the BAA is the development of image enhancement techniques and methodologies that can be incorporated in processing of imagery from a variety of different small-format EO-IR sensor architectures. This approach can greatly improve the Navy&amp;apos;s ability to achieve Information Dominance with a broader spectrum of lower-cost sensors. </Description>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. Purpose of Program: The purpose of the Field Initiated (FI) Projects program is to develop methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technology that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities, especially individuals with the most severe disabilities. Another purpose of the FI Projects program is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. NIDRR makes two types of awards under the FI Projects program: Research grants (CFDA 84.133G-1) and development grants (CFDA 84.133G-2). In carrying out a research activity under an FI Project research grant, a grantee must identify one or more hypotheses or research questions and, based on the hypotheses or research questions identified, perform an intensive, systematic study directed toward producing (1) new scientific knowledge, or (2) better understanding of the subject, problem studied, or body of knowledge. In carrying out a development activity under an FI Project development grant, a grantee must use knowledge and understanding gained from research to create materials, devices, systems, or methods, including designing and developing prototypes and processes, that are beneficial to the target population. ``Target population&amp;apos;&amp;apos; means the group of individuals, organizations, or other entities expected to be affected by the project. There may be more than one target population because a project may affect those who receive services, provide services, or administer services. Note: Different selection criteria are used for FI Project research grants (84.133G-1) and development grants (84.133G-2). Applicants must clearly indicate in the application whether they are applying for a research grant (84.133G-1) or a development grant (84.133G-2) and must address the selection criteria relevant for their grant type. Without exception, NIDRR will review each application based on the grant designation made by the applicant. Applications will be determined ineligible and will not be reviewed if they do not include a clear designation as a research grant or a development grant. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.133G-1 (Research). Applications for grants under the FI Projects program, CFDA Number 84.133G-1 (Research) or 84.133G-2 (Development), must be submitted electronically using the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site at www.Grants.gov. Through this site, you will be able to download a copy of the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit your application.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Under PEPFAR legislation, HHS/CDC is authorized for leadership of programs and services (including ART services) to be implemented by Ministries of Health and other governmental entities that have the jurisdictional authority to directly finance and perform these programs and services. The Single Eligibility Justification is the aforementioned mandate under PEFAR legislation and the jurisdictional authority of MOH and other government entities to ensure sustainability and country-owned programs.  The Rwanda MOH is responsible for managing health facilities and human resources offering comprehensive HIV and integrated health services. Establishing cooperative agreements with MOH provides a relationship where CDC can provide the necessary technical assistance and mentorship needed to ensure that the MOH delivers the services according to USG expectations.  PEPFAR is supporting the national HIV response which is implemented by MOH at their health facilities. MOH has been the lead for health policy and systems strengthening in the Republic of Rwanda since it was established. MOH is  responsible for the management, administration and staffing of health facilities implementing PEPFAR HIV services. It is the primary official government source in the Republic of Rwanda for providing these public health services. There is no other agency within Rwanda with the mandate from the GOR to provide these services.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. Purpose of Program: The purpose of the Field Initiated (FI) Projects program is to develop methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technology that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities, especially individuals with the most severe disabilities. Another purpose of the FI Projects program is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. NIDRR makes two types of awards under the FI Projects program: Research grants (CFDA 84.133G-1) and development grants (CFDA 84.133G-2). In carrying out a research activity under an FI Project research grant, a grantee must identify one or more hypotheses or research questions and, based on the hypotheses or research questions identified, perform an intensive, systematic study directed toward producing (1) new scientific knowledge, or (2) better understanding of the subject, problem studied, or body of knowledge. In carrying out a development activity under an FI Project development grant, a grantee must use knowledge and understanding gained from research to create materials, devices, systems, or methods, including designing and developing prototypes and processes, that are beneficial to the target population. ``Target population&amp;apos;&amp;apos; means the group of individuals, organizations, or other entities expected to be affected by the project. There may be more than one target population because a project may affect those who receive services, provide services, or administer services. Note: Different selection criteria are used for FI Project research grants (84.133G-1) and development grants (84.133G-2). Applicants must clearly indicate in the application whether they are applying for a research grant (84.133G-1) or a development grant (84.133G-2) and must address the selection criteria relevant for their grant type. Without exception, NIDRR will review each application based on the grant designation made by the applicant. Applications will be determined ineligible and will not be reviewed if they do not include a clear designation as a research grant or a development grant. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.133G-2 (Development).

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide regional access for cryoelectron microscopy (cryoEM) laboratories to state-of-the-art data collection capabilities. NIGMS will support consortia of established and early stage investigator laboratories whose research has an established specialization in and dependence on cryoEM. These laboratories will coordinate with each other to share facilities and resources for direct electron detection. Consortia will consist of a host institution which already has a modern high-performing cryoEM installation and proven capabilities for high-resolution data collection, partnered with regional participating institutions. A consortium will support surplus capacity for cryoEM data collection (infrastructure and services) at the host institution and make it available as a resource for the participating regional institutions. Projects will support access for cryoEM laboratories at participating institutions to resources and services at host sites. Projects will (a) contribute to the fixed costs of maintaining the host facility and extend services in proportion to the resources dedicated to the regional users and (b) support access to the facility by the regional laboratories. The host institution need not already have an electron detector; this FOA can help fund acquisition of direct detection equipment. Support is limited to enabling the participating cryoEM laboratories to collect data and perform the initial stages of processing raw images, and does not include other research activities. Consortia will consist of a minimum of 3-5 institutions; award budgets will depend on the number and data collection needs of the regional participating cryoEM laboratories. This initiative is not intended to support service centers of the traditional type in which the host laboratory performs the cryoEM analysis for non-specialist collaborators.</Description>

No. 111-152, enacted on March 30, 2010, are collectively referred to in this announcement as the &amp;#147;Affordable Care Act.&amp;#148; The Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, Pub. L. No. 112-10, which amended the Affordable Care Act, was enacted on April 15, 2011. Section 1322 of the Affordable Care Act created the Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan program (CO-OP program) to foster the creation of new consumer-governed, private, nonprofit health insurance issuers, known as &amp;#147;CO-OPs.&amp;#148; In addition to improving consumer choice and plan accountability, the CO-OP program also seeks to promote integrated models of care and enhance competition in the Affordable Insurance Exchanges established under sections 1311 and 1321 of the Affordable Care Act.     The statute provides loans to capitalize eligible prospective CO-OPs with a goal of having at least one CO-OP in each State. The statute permits the funding of multiple CO-OPs in any State, provided that there is sufficient funding to capitalize at least one CO-OP in each State. The statute directs the Secretary to give priority to applicants that will offer CO-OP qualified health plans on a Statewide basis, will use integrated care models, and have significant private support.</CategoryExplanation>

        <Description>We estimate that 51 applicants will be awarded loans under the CO-OP program joint Start-up and Solvency Loans or only Solvency Loans because section 1322 of the Affordable Care Act envisions the creation of at least one viable CO-OP in every State and the District of Columbia. These numbers are estimates. The actual number of awards will vary according to the number of applications and the size of awards. The estimated number of awards reflects the statutory goal of the CO-OP program to establish a CO-OP in each State. It should be noted, however, that the statute allows CMS to fund more than one eligible prospective CO-OP qualified nonprofit health insurance issuer in any State if the funding is sufficient to do so. However, CMS is unlikely to fund CO-OPs that will directly compete with each other for the same target market if actuarial analysis indicates that these CO-OPs would be less likely to repay loans under those circumstances. If there is no applicant from a State, CMS may award loans to encourage the expansion of a eligible prospective CO-OP qualified nonprofit health insurance issuer from another State to that State or take other steps to encourage the development of a CO-OP in a State. Additionally, an applicant may apply for loans to establish a CO-OP in more than one State. For the purposes of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), a &amp;#147;State&amp;#148; means each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia. All awards (new and continuation) that are issued under this announcement are subject to the availability of funds as well as satisfactory progress. In the absence of funding, CMS is under no obligation to make awards under this announcement.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>In 1987, very early on in the fight against HIV-AIDS, the Republic of Mali created what was then called the PNLS (National Program for the Fight Against HIV-AIDS) to develop a vision, strategies, and policies in order to implement and coordinate all activities to combat HIV/AIDS in Mali.      In 2004, the PNLS was transformed into the CSLS (Cellule Sectorial De Lutte Contre Le Sida). Each Ministry of the government developed a CSLS to focus on all HIV/AIDS activities for the sector in which they operated and for which they had responsibility.     The CSLS of the Ministry of Health, being the largest, the most professionally staffed, the most visible, and the most active in the country has always served as de facto National HIV-AIDS Control program in Mali. CDC has had a collaborative working and professional relationship with the PNLS since 1996. With the restructuring of the PNLS into CSLS, CDC continued its relationship with the CSLS of the MOH.       </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to assist the Government of Mali&amp;apos;s National HIV-AIDS Control Program (CSLS-MOH) to develop the scientific data for decision making required for the PMTCT program, particularly as it relates to key populations (KP) such as professional sex workers, and female partners of men who have sex with men (MSM). The project also seeks to optimize the current EID (Early Infant Diagnosis) program, a component of the PMTCT program, to develop the appropriate laboratory linkages with the National Reference Laboratory in order to develop a patient focus approach. As such, the project seeks to serve as a pilot PMTCT program in a specific geographic area of Mali where synergies between existing HIV-AIDS Prevention and Care &amp;amp; Treatment programs can be optimized.</Description>

        <Description>The District Coverage of Health Services(DISCOVER) Activity (referred to as the &amp;#147;Activity&amp;#148;) will support an innovative approach to scaling up VMMC services, as well as providing critical HIV/AIDS and TB services at non-conventional sites (non-public sector located sites operated directly by a USAID-supported implementing partner) within Zambia by capitalizing on the delivery platform for VMMC and socially marketed commodities. It will also expand family planning services in order to reduce the unmet need for family planning, integrating these services into HIV services. In addition, DISCOVER will build upon the PRISM project by increasing the distribution and sale of mature (socially marketed health services and products already being marketed by PRISM) socially-marketed health products and services by 50% (baseline: PRISM results for 2013), as well as introducing new products and services; and develop and implement context-specific strategies to achieve sustainability of socially-marketed health products and services.</Description>

This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on April 29, 2011, and continue through April 30, 2012. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 18, 2011. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal.

        <Description>The OPORP Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Research Award (OPORA) is being offered for the first time in FY14. It is intended to support research that evaluates the comparative effectiveness of and functional outcomes associated with prosthetic and orthotic clinical interventions and/or other rehabilitation interventions for Service Members and Veterans who have undergone limb salvage or limb amputation. The goal is to improve our understanding of and ultimately advance the implementation of the most effective prescriptions for prosthetic and orthotic devices, treatment, rehabilitation, and secondary health effect prevention options for patients, clinicians, other caregivers, and policymakers. Proposed projects should be designed to provide outcomes data regarding orthotic and prosthetic devices, and/or related clinical interventions and must include the anticipated effect on patient care metrics. Collaboration with military researchers and clinicians is encouraged, as are joint Department of Defense (DoD)-VA studies, including longitudinal outcome studies. Studies are sought that: &amp;#149; Compare different patient care approaches. &amp;#149; Include patient-centric outcome assessments. &amp;#149; Have the potential to generate new knowledge that can be developed into new clinical practice guidelines, and/or new prescription algorithms for prosthetic and orthotic devices. &amp;#149; Have the potential to develop new technology for improved prosthetic and orthotic devices, therefore improving patient outcomes. &amp;#149; Provide information on quality of life, reintegration, and/or return to duty/return to work as it pertains to those patients who use a prosthetic or orthotic device due to limb trauma. All applications must demonstrate direct relevance to Service Members and Veterans with traumatic extremity injury and/or amputation using prosthetics and orthotic devices. Examples of studies that are appropriate for submission to the FY14 OPORA include, but are not limited to, examination of the long-term functional and patient-centered outcomes associated with: &amp;#149; The specific time points in the course of patient treatment where prosthetic and orthotic intervention is the most effective. &amp;#149; Different treatment algorithms to determine the most appropriate prosthetic/orthotic device. &amp;#149; The effect of different orthotic and/or prosthetic devices on achievement of maximal functional ability. &amp;#149; Development of outcomes evaluating the prevention of secondary adverse consequences of prosthetic and orthotic device use, including but not limited to falls, skin breakdown, loss of balance. &amp;#149; Improvement of current prosthetic and orthotic materials and techniques to improve quality of life and health outcomes for patients with limb trauma or limb loss. &amp;#149; Development of new materials and technologies for use in orthotics and prosthetics to improve quality of life and health outcomes for patients with limb trauma or limb loss. &amp;#149; Application of specific rehabilitation interventions to accelerate the time, course, or extent of functional outcomes in Service Members and Veterans using prosthetic and orthotic devices. Studies may also be proposed that consider outcome factors related to health care delivery and clinical decision-making such as cost, accessibility, adoption of medical policy, and patient preferences. Studies should have a clinical focus and may include methodologies and designs such as surveys, retrospective data analyses, simulation modeling, longitudinal observation, cross sectional observation, case control, or qualitative research study designs. Animal studies are not allowed under this award mechanism. Research Scope: Research proposed under the FY14 OPORA may include small- to large-scale projects and be at different stages of idea and research development including efficacy studies, effective comparison studies, human use, observational studies, and clinical trials. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Clinical research and clinical trials will be considered for both funding levels. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the proposed research project. The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level: &amp;#149; Funding Level 1: Research that is already supported by preliminary data and has the potential to make significant advancements toward clinical translation. &amp;#149; Funding Level 2: Advanced translational studies that have the potential for near-term clinical investigation. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Notice is to provide potential applicants advance notice that the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Wind and Water Power Technologies Office, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled ?Wind Energy Bat Impact Minimization Technologies and Field Testing Opportunities.? To address and minimize the regulatory and financial risks associated with wind power development in locations with sensitive bat species, the Department of Energy?s Wind and Water Power Technologies Office (WWPTO) seeks through this FOA to fund projects that advance the technical and commercial readiness of bat impact mitigation and minimization technologies including, but not limited to, bat deterrents and operational changes that have a high likelihood of reducing bat mortality at a facility. This FOA will also support the demonstration and evaluation of near-commercial bat impact mitigation technologies at operational wind facilities. These technologies, once successfully demonstrated, will provide regulators and wind facility owner-operators with viable and cost effective tools to reduce bat mortality at wind facilities and ease the regulatory and financial uncertainty related to the development and long-term operation of wind farms in bat habitat. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE. Please do not submit questions or respond to this Notice of Intent. Prospective applicants to the FOA should begin developing partnerships, formulating ideas, and gathering data in anticipation of the issuance of this FOA. EERE plans to issue the FOA in the first Quarter of Fiscal Year 2015 (by December 31, 2014). The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system. </Description>

        <Description>The R40 MCH Research Program supports applied research relating to maternal and child health services, including services for children with special health care needs. Research should demonstrate a substantial contribution to advancement of the current knowledge pool, and when used in States and communities should result in health and health services improvements. Findings from the research supported by the MCH Research Program are expected to strengthen and expand Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation. This includes research that drives policy and service delivery of preventive and early intervention services for application in health care delivery programs or develops new knowledge on the impact of insurance coverage on health promotion. Research proposals should address critical MCH questions such as public health systems and infrastructure, health disparities, quality of care, and promoting the health of MCH populations, which also support the goals of the Health Resources and Services Administration. The &amp;#191;life course perspective&amp;#191; is currently being integrated into MCHB&amp;#191;s strategic directions, and can serve as a helpful frame of reference for study proposals designed to address the critical MCH questions defined by the Bureau. Applicants are encouraged to propose translational research studies that specifically address issues related to MCHB investments and programs. Addressing one of the four MCHB Strategic Research Issues (see Appendix A) is part of Review Criterion 1, Need, worth up to 10 points.</Description>

Purpose of Program: The Statewide, Longitudinal Data Systems program awards grants to State educational agencies (SEAs) to design, develop, and implement statewide, longitudinal data systems to efficiently and accurately manage, analyze, disaggregate, and use individual student data. The Department&amp;apos;s long-term goal in operating the program is to help all States create comprehensive P-20W (early learning through workforce) systems that foster the generation and use of accurate and timely data, support analysis and informed decision-making at all levels of the education system, increase the efficiency with which data may be analyzed to support the continuous improvement of education services and outcomes, facilitate research to improve student academic achievement and close achievement gaps, support education accountability systems, and simplify the processes used by SEAs to make education data transparent through Federal and public reporting. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.372A. On September 20, 2011, we published in the Federal Register (76 FR 58252) a notice inviting applications for the Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems FY 2012 competition. That notice established a December 15, 2012, deadline date for eligible applicants to apply for funding under this program. As a result of the notice published on September 20, 2011, 31 eligible entities submitted applications. In order to ensure fairness and afford as many eligible applicants as possible an opportunity to be considered for funding under this program, we are reopening the Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems FY 2012 competition to eligible applicants that were not able to submit applications by the original deadline date. Thus, we will consider as received timely, all of the applications we received through Grants.gov by December 15, 2011 (referred to as ``previously submitted applications&amp;apos;&amp;apos; in this notice), and will consider as timely any additional applications or revisions to any previously submitted application submitted by the new deadline date established in this notice. All information in the September 20, 2011 notice remains the same for new applications and revisions to previously submitted applications submitted in response to this reopening notice, except for the following updates to the Dates section and section V. Submission of Applications. Applications Available: January 6, 2012. Note: The application package for this competition and instructions are available at the following Internet address: http://ies.ed.gov/funding/slds.asp Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: January 13, 2012. New applications or revisions to previously submitted applications for grants under this program must be submitted in paper format by mail or hand delivery.</Description>

The overall objective of the CoL program, which is funded by the Merida Initiative, is to install a sense of individual responsibility for upholding the rule of law in Mexico and support the ability of Mexico&amp;#146;s citizens to participate in the law enforcement process. Promoting the rule of law, and reducing insecurity and corruption, requires societal support by what has come to be known as a Culture of Lawfulness. In particular, INL aims to work with civil society organizations to implement programs that support CoL principles across a variety of sectors, mainly civil society, center of moral authority, public servants and law enforcement, education, children and youth. </Description>

        <Description>The principal objective of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) 2012 Multi-year Implementation Grants is to administer funds for sub-awarded coastal habitat conservation and restoration projects. The funded projects/sub-awards will be selected through NRDA restoration planning processes in response to natural resource injuries and lost use of natural resources due to those injuries. NOAA acts as a trustee on behalf of the public to protect and restore coastal and marine resources. For almost 20 years, NOAA has worked cooperatively with responsible parties (the individuals, companies, or government agencies responsible for an oil spill or hazardous substance release) and trustee councils (teams of state, tribal, and other federal agencies convened to respond to a specific spill, release, or grounding) to implement remedial actions that protect NOAA trust resources from additional harm. If an incident diminishes the services that natural resources provide, including human services (e.g., fishing, beach-going,) and ecological services (e.g., providing habitat, nutrient cycling), the trustees will seek to implement projects to restore those lost services. Since 1992, we have recovered more than $600 million from responsible parties to protect and restore coastal resources, including migratory fish, marine mammals, wetlands, reefs, and other coastal habitats. Applicants selected through this federal funding opportunity will be those capable of implementing trustee-selected NRDA restoration projects, or competitively soliciting projects to meet specific restoration goals determined by the trustee council. Projects selected by the trustees may be implemented through a subcontract to a specified organization, or may be directly implemented by the grantee requiring significant oversight, provided the trustees determine the applicant has relevant expertise. NOAA anticipates that approximately $750,000-$15,000,000 may be available to fund the awarded cooperative agreements over the life of any selected awards. Funding is expected to be provided on an as-available basis to maintain the grants for up to seven years, and is dependent upon the level of funding made available by trustee councils. NOAA anticipates that typical awards will range from $350,000 to $2,000,000 within the first year. NOAA will not accept proposals with a first year budget less than $300,000 or more than $5,000,000 under this solicitation.Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education, non-profits, and commercial (for-profit) organizations. Applications for federal, state, tribal, or local governments will not be considered, due to their potential role as trustee council members. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is soliciting LOIs under the United States Weather Research Program (USWRP), as administrated by the Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) and Hazardous Weather Testbed (HWT). HMT advances hydrometeorological methods, models, observations, and decision support tools and leads the transfer of relevant research and technology advances to NWS operations at local, regional, or national levels. HWT focuses on the transfer of relevant research and technology advances in hazardous weather, severe convection, and related forecast operations.This notice also provides guidelines for the submission of full proposals and describes opportunities and application procedures for research that supports the overall mission of HMT and HWT. Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education; other nonprofits; commercial organizations; international organizations; state, local and Indian tribal governments; and federal agencies. This notice calls for researchers to submit proposals to test and evaluate, and modify if necessary, in a (quasi-operational) experimental environment, their own scientific and technological research applications. Proposals aimed at tools and/or applications are encouraged to plan for and use these annual experiments as a testing mechanism during the 2016 calendar year. If a tool/technique is selected for testing, associated projects are expected to visit the testbed to explain the tool/technique, and help facilitate testing. Projects satisfying metrics for success and operational constraints may be selected for operational implementation by the operational center(s) after the completion of the USWRP-funded work. The period of the award is from one to two years.</Description>

        <Description>NOAA delivers funding and technical expertise to restore Great Lakes coastal habitats. These habitats support valuable fisheries and protected resources; improve the quality of our water; provide recreational opportunities for the public&amp;apos;s use and enjoyment; and buffer our coastal communities from the impacts of changing lake levels. Projects funded through NOAA have strong on-the-ground habitat restoration components that provide social and economic benefits for people and their communities in addition to long-term ecological habitat improvements. Through this solicitation, NOAA seeks to openly compete funding available for habitat restoration in U.S. Great Lakes Areas of Concern (http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/aoc/) under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative as anticipated in the President&amp;apos;s FY2012 Budget. Applications should be submitted for any project that is to be considered for this funding, even for those projects already submitted as applications to other NOAA competitions. Competition will ensure that the most beneficial restoration projects are selected to realize significant ecological gains and ensure that projects are &amp;quot;shovel-ready.&amp;quot; Applications selected for funding through this solicitation will be implemented through a grant or cooperative agreement, with awards dependent upon the amount of funds made available to NOAA for this purpose by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. NOAA anticipates up to $5 million may be available for Great Lakes coastal habitat restoration; typical awards are expected to range between $1 million to $4 million. NOAA will also accept proposals for engineering and design of habitat restoration projects; typical awards are expected to range between $75,000 and $350,000. Funds will be administered by the Great Lakes Region of NOAA&amp;apos;s Restoration Center (RC).</Description>

        <Description>The Partners for Fish and Wildlife (PFW) Program is a voluntary, incentive-based program that provides direct technical assistance and financial assistance in the form of cooperative agreements to private landowners to restore and conserve fish and wildlife habitat for the benefit of federal trust resources. The PFW Program is delivered through more than 250 full-time staff, active in all 50 States and territories. Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program staff coordinate with project partners, stakeholders and other Service programs to identify geographic focus areas and develop habitat conservation priorities within these focus areas. Geographic focus areas are where the PFW Program directs resources to conserve habitat for federal trust species. Project work plans are developed strategically, in coordination with partners, and with substantial involvement from Service field staff. Projects must advance our mission, promote biological diversity, and be based upon sound scientific biological principles. Program strategic plans inform the types of projects funded under this opportunity. Applicants seeking funding under this program should review the program strategic plan and also contact the regional PFW Program office prior to submitting an application for funding.</Description>

        <Description>The Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program provides support for independent graduate-level studies in oceanography, marine biology, or maritime archaeology (including all science, engineering, social science and resource management of ocean and coastal areas), and particularly encourages women and minorities to apply. Individuals who are U.S. citizens and are applying to or have been accepted to a graduate program at a U.S. accredited institution may apply. Prospective scholars do not need to be enrolled in a graduate program at the time of application, but must be admitted to a graduate level program in order to be awarded this scholarship. Scholarship selections are based on academic excellence, letters of recommendations, research and career goals, and financial need. Applicants must have a cumulative 3.3 grade point average to be eligible to apply and maintain a minimum cumulative and term grade point average of 3.3 for every term and for the duration of their award. Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarships may provide, subject to appropriations, yearly support of up to $42,000 per student (a 12-month stipend of $30,000 in addition to an education allowance of up to $12,000), and up to $10,000 of support for a 4-6 week program collaboration at a NOAA facility. Completion of one (1) program collaboration is required for every Doctoral scholarship award, with a second recommended, but not required. For Master&amp;apos;s degree level scholars, completion of a program collaboration is strongly recommended, but is not required. Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program recipients will be required to participate in a mandatory NOAA Orientation Training to meet with NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries staff at a date and location to be determined during the month of either the end of July or beginning of August, 2015. If scholarships have not been awarded before this training, recipients may be required to incur pre-award costs that will be reimbursed after award funds have been issued.As a recipient of the Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship, you become a recognized member of the NOAA community. NOAA provides significant financial resources to help you pursue your independent graduate studies, as well as the staff expertise to assist you with your research along the way. All Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program recipients must put together a 3-5 minute video that communicates their scientific research in a way that the average viewer can understand it, as well as see why it matters to them. A camera with photo and video capabilities, along with guidelines, a storyboard and appropriate training will be provided to all Foster Scholars. The program collaboration opportunity is designed to allow scholars to participate in research or other activities for four to six weeks at a field office of the National Marine Sanctuary System, or other NOAA program offices. Federal support for the program collaboration may be used toward allowable costs such as: travel to and from the NOAA facility, housing, per diem, laboratory costs, research vessel support, and consumables while conducting research at the NOAA facility.

        <Description>The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit feedback from past and present participants in the Solar Decathlon, broader academic circles, industry, sponsors, and other stakeholders on issues related to future Solar Decathlon competitions. The objective is to improve the outcomes aligned with the Solar Decathlon in the long-term. The Department of Energy (DOE) is specifically interested in feedback about additional U.S. benefits that should be the focus of future solar powered home programs funded by DOE, the format of a competition to achieve those benefits, and whether other formats or options can deliver higher value to the U.S. In the format discussion, if the current format is proposed to continue, information is requested on how DOE should identify future locations for the Solar Decathlon. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications. </Description>

        <Description>Avian Health and Disease Program Region 2 Request for Proposals FY 2012 Grants.gov Announcement I. Purpose This announcement solicits proposals for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service&amp;#146;s (USFWS&amp;#146;s) Southwest Avian Health and Disease Program. In 2012, this program will provide small grants for the conservation of birds that are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Proposals should address the geographic area that includes Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. This region is an important wintering and stop-over area for migratory birds. Factors affecting habitat conditions, immune status, and disease prevalence are of great significance to the health of migratory bird populations utilizing this region. This grant program is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance at: https://www.cfda.gov/index?s=program&amp;amp;mode=form&amp;amp;tab=step1&amp;amp;id=0304cd16f0f0b2aef93ceaf90df29800 Avian Health and Disease: The Avian Health and Disease program (AHD) supports avian conservation, surveillance and monitoring goals of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by including health and disease assessments into activities related to the management of all migratory bird species. In 2012, we seek proposals to: a. Establish avian health baselines; b. Identify existing and emerging avian health and disease issues, especially viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases; c. Identify linkages among the epidemiological triad of susceptible host, capable agent, and suitable environment that enhance disease expression; d. Develop, guide, and implement appropriate and effective avian disease management actions. e. Ensure disease preparedness and prevention Before submitting proposals on any of the above topics, we strongly encourage you to contact Dan Collins, Migratory Game Bird Coordinator, USFWS Division of Migratory Birds (505-248-6881; dan_collins@fws.gov), to discuss potential projects. He will help you further develop your proposal ideas. To prepare a complete proposal, authors should have a copy of this Avian Health and Disease Program-Region 2 Request for Proposals (FY2012) and the FWS Avian Health and Disease Program National Strategic Plan. These can be obtained from Dan Collins. II. History This program was created in 2011 to address the needs of birds that are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Increasing expansion of human populations has led to habitat fragmentation, changes in land-use patterns, and increased pressure on wild bird populations. Globalization of marketing and distribution has increased zoonotic and emerging disease risks. Many of these emerging diseases involve avian reservoirs or susceptible hosts. Increasing the complexity of this picture are changes in climate; avian populations may need to alter site fidelity in response to weather patterns, and this will introduce new opportunities for transmission of avian diseases and place pressure on populations already stressed by anthropogenic factors. To address these issues, the USFWS established the Avian Health and Disease Program (AHDP) to conduct work in avian health and disease surveillance, response, and management in wild bird populations. III. The Process Each proposal should include the following information and be submitted as outlined below: A. TITLE SECTION IV.A. Title of Project IV.B. Principal Investigator (include full contact information) IV.C. Co-Investigators B. INTRODUCTION V.A. Background and Justification Briefly describe the project, including species, location, avian health issue or concern. V.B. Objective(s) List all objectives of the proposed project V.C. Management Action(s) Identify any on-going management activities associated with the proposed project (e.g., annual banding drive, aerial surveys etc) and any management actions that may result as a consequence of this project. C. METHODS VI.A. Data Collection Methods should be described with enough detail to allow reviewers of the proposal to clearly see how the objectives of the proposal will be met. Key elements to be described in this section include (1) type, number, and location samples to be collected and analyzed, (2) type of health parameter, pathogen or non-infectious agent to be addressed (3) Other information that will be collected as part of this or ancillary projects VI.B. Analysis Identify laboratory or other analyses that will be conducted on the samples. Briefly describe methods used for data analyses. D. RELEVANCE TO NATIONAL STRATEGIC PLAN Below are specific topics identified within the National Strategic Plan that should be considered in proposals seeking funding from the R2-AHD program: HEALTH AND DISEASE IMPACT INVESTIGATIONS Integrate health surveillance into field activities &amp;#149;Initiate or expand investigation of regionally specific avian health and disease problems &amp;#149;Collect baseline data on avian species to assess health and disease concerns &amp;#149;Evaluate critical avian populations: species of concern, threatened and endangered species (conduct field investigations in combination with the ongoing management activities) &amp;#149;Investigate infectious diseases (viruses, bacteria, fungal infections) &amp;#149;Investigate non-infectious diseases (parasites, biotoxins, contaminants) &amp;#149;Conduct targeted pathogen surveillance &amp;#149;Investigate indigenous and exotic disease problems Climate change &amp;#149;Incorporate AHD activities into DOI climate change strategic plans, LCCs, CCPs and other planning documents. &amp;#149;Integrate health surveillance with National Wildlife Refuges Inventories and Monitoring disease surveillance priorities &amp;#149;Investigate the impact of climate change on the biology of wildlife disease reservoirs and vector species &amp;#149;Investigate disease impacts on species adaptation strategies &amp;#149;Identify ancillary stressors influencing avian susceptibility to disease (decoupling of biological processes) Human-induced effects on disease transmission &amp;#149;Assess the increased disease risks associated with urban, suburban, and agricultural environments (water quality, habitat fragmentation, contaminants) &amp;#149;Aid in the prevention and management of invasive species introduction &amp;#149;Adjust FWS personnel behaviors during field activities to decrease the potential of disease transmission to humans, other wildlife, other geographic sites Describe how your project addresses any of the components listed in the section above. You may also discuss how your project relates to any other objectives or support areas identified in the National Strategic Plan. E. LITERATURE CITED F. PARTNERSHIPS Identify collaborators and describe their contribution to the project. Also, identify contract laboratories or agencies. G. BUDGET Include costs for FY2012.. Be as specific as possible; include line-item estimates for salary, travel, supplies, equipment, laboratory analysis, helicopter or airplane costs, fuel, food, contracts etc. IV. Funding Availability In FY 2012, it is estimated that approximately $200,000 will be available for this program. However, at the time of this announcement posting, the USFWS&amp;#146;s 2012 budget was not finalized and it is possible that funding availability could be more or less than $200,000. The maximum that an individual proposal can receive is $50,000. Based on past experience, a typical grant ranges from $10,000 to $30,000. Note: if the USFWS&amp;#146;s budget allocation from Congress is delayed, we cannot guarantee that funding will be available for the 2012 field season. V. Eligibility Information The following entities are eligible to apply for funds from this grant program: Federal, state, and local government agencies; Federally-recognized Native American tribal government agencies; Native American tribal organizations other than Federally-recognized tribal governments; public- and State-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501C(3) IRS status, other than institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations without 501C(3) IRS status, other than institutions of higher education.

        <Description>This ROSES-2014 NRA (NNH14ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#146;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat, and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Table 2, organized by due date, can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table2 and Table 3, organized by subject area can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table3. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2015, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES-2014 NRA will be available at:http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2014 Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/. Questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at sara@nasa.gov.</Description>

HEALTH AND DISEASE IMPACT INVESTIGATIONS Integrate health surveillance into field activities &amp;#149; Initiate or expand investigation of regionally specific avian health and disease problems &amp;#149; Collect baseline data on avian species to assess health and disease concerns &amp;#149; Evaluate critical avian populations: species of concern, threatened and endangered species (conduct field investigations in combination with the ongoing management activities) &amp;#149; Investigate infectious diseases (viruses, bacteria, fungal infections) &amp;#149; Investigate non-infectious diseases (parasites, biotoxins, contaminants) &amp;#149; Conduct targeted pathogen surveillance &amp;#149; Investigate indigenous and exotic disease problems Climate change &amp;#149; Incorporate AHD activities into DOI climate change strategic plans and the National Wildlife Refuges Inventories and Monitoring disease surveillance priorities &amp;#149; Investigate the impact of climate change on the biology of wildlife disease reservoirs and vector species &amp;#149; Investigate disease impacts on species adaptation strategies &amp;#149; Identify ancillary stressors influencing avian susceptibility to disease (decoupling of biological processes) Human-induced effects on disease transmission &amp;#149; Assess the increased disease risks associated with urban, suburban, and agricultural environments (water quality, habitat fragmentation, contaminants) &amp;#149; Aid in the prevention and management of invasive species introduction &amp;#149; Adjust FWS personnel behaviors during field activities to decrease the potential of disease transmission to humans, other wildlife, other geographic sites PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT Funding for this program is subject to change without notice; therefore we are requesting that proposals be submitted for single-year projects only. If funding is available in future years, you will be given the option to submit a proposal for subsequent steps in a project. Projects should be organized in a manner that produces a measurable result from each independently-funded phase. Additional ranking criteria will be how well the project addresses the program objectives stated above and the applicability of results to evaluating management strategies and/or defining the relevance of future research. No set budget limit exists for individual projects; however, efficiency will be another criteria used in evaluating projects. Ability to leverage or to match funds from other sources is also a plus. Proposals should be 2-5 pages and include enough information for a reviewer to understand how the objectives of the project will be met. No specific form is required for proposals. Relevant information to be included is identified in a draft template at the end of this document.

        <Description>The Emerging Technologies (ET) Program of the Building Technologies Office (BTO) supports applied research and development for technologies and systems that contribute to building energy consumption. BTO?s goal is to deliver 50% primary energy savings in the year 2030, relative to the baseline energy consumption projected by the 2010 Annual Energy Outlook. The ET Program is helping to meet this goal by enabling cost-effective, energy-efficient technologies to be developed and introduced into the marketplace. The ET Program maintains support for the national laboratories in five core areas: Solid-State Lighting, HVAC (includes water heating and appliances), Sensors &amp;amp; Controls, Windows &amp;amp; Envelope, and Modeling &amp;amp; Tools. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) combines an early-stage research and development topic (Innovations) with a later-stage research and development topic (Frontiers) that complement the core funding provided to the national l abs and allow all interested parties, including corporations, universities, and non-profits as well as the national labs, to contribute to advancement in two of these core technological areas: Non-vapor compression HVAC technologies and advanced vapor compression HVAC technologies. These topics are combined into this single, relatively large FOA in order to reduce administrative costs and to ensure that only the best applications are supported. </Description>

        <Description>The USFWS is not seeking applications for this Funding Opportunity. The USFWS plans to award this grant agreement under the Department Manual 505-2, using 2.14B(1)to justify a single source award to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). 2.14B(1) Unsolicited proposal, the proposal award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award but which is deemed adventageous to the program objectives. WDNR has opportunities for internships in wildlife and forestry research, wildlife management and endangered resources work. WDNR&amp;apos;s work with federal partners including USFWS, USGS and USDA provides interns with varied experiences from both state and federal agency perspectives. WDNR&amp;apos;s efforts are in alignment with the Youth in the Great Outdoors initiative&amp;apos;s need for programs that encourage and develop young people with the appropriate skill sets and interests to become conservation professionals.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that seek additional funding to support exploratory clinical trials for projects that were previously funded by NIH SBIR Phase II awards. The trials must focus on products related to the mission and goals of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and may evaluate drugs, biologics, devices, or diagnostics, as well as surgical, behavioral or rehabilitation therapies. Since conducting the clinical trials needed for commercialization may be capital-intensive, the FOA aims to facilitate the transition of SBIR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage by promoting partnerships between NIHs SBIR awardees and third-party investors and/or strategic partners. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that seek additional funding to support the next stage of development for projects requiring approval from a Federal regulatory agency. The FOA aims to facilitate the transition of previously funded STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage by promoting partnerships between NIHs STTR awardees and third-party investors and/or strategic partners. Consistent with the goals of this funding initiative and as required by the SF424 instructions for all STTR Phase II applications, applicants must submit a Commercialization Plan, which should include details on any independent third-party investor funding that has already been secured or is anticipated during the project period. It is expected that the level of this independent third-party funding will be equal to or greater than the NINDS funds being requested throughout the STTR Phase IIB project period. </Description>

        <Description>This is a special BAA in support of the AFRL&amp;#146;s University Center of Excellence for Integrated Computational Material Science and Engineering of Structural Materials. In collaboration with AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (Wright Patterson AFB, OH), AFOSR invites proposals for research in the areas described in detail below. The schedule for this announcement is given in Section II, Award Information. This research effort will consist of interdisciplinary teams of researchers with the skills needed to address the relevant research challenges necessary to meet the program goals. Multi investigator and/or multi university teaming is encouraged but not required. Proposals should describe cutting-edge efforts on basic scientific problems. Further, in order to satisfy AFOSR Policy on University CoE (e.g. &amp;#147;Educate students within the US in vital technology areas and offer opportunities for AFRL new employee recruitment&amp;#148;) students involved in the program will be US nationals or permanent residents. The duration of the proposed effort is three years. Also, only one award is anticipated. The amount of resources made available to this BAA will depend on the quality of proposals received and the availability of funds, but probably will not exceed $1,000,000/year. Proposers are highly encouraged to confer with the designated points of contact as soon as possible. Their contact information can be found in the text of the published BAA. White Papers briefly summarizing your ideas and why they are different from what others are doing are highly encouraged, but not required. Coordination with the AFOSR and the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate is highly encouraged but not required. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to stimulate clinical research focused on biobehavioral or technological interventions to attenuate cognitive decline in individuals with dementia (such as Alzheimers disease, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or disease- or age-related cognitive decline. There is particular interest in interventions that can be implemented in community settings by the affected individual, informal caregivers, or others in the community. Research to inform the development of such interventions is also of interest, as well as research examining underlying mechanisms and biomarkers associated with response to interventions. It is anticipated that the results of this research will help affected individuals maintain independence and quality of life, improve their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and additionally help to reduce stress, burden, and other poor outcomes in their caregivers.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Solar Energy Technologies Office, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled ?Sustainable and Holistic IntegratioN of Energy storage and Solar PV (SHINES)?. As solar power plants proliferate, the variability and uncertainty of the solar resource poses challenges for integrating PV with electric power systems, both at the distribution and bulk system levels. The goal of a potential FOA from the Department of Energy is to enable holistic design, development, and widespread sustainable deployment of low-cost, flexible, and reliable solutions that have energy storage as one of the key components for successful integration of PV power plants. The SHINES solution can incorporate, in addition to PV and energy storage, options such as demand response and load management to achieve target metrics of the FOA. The total Federal funding will be approximately $15M, subject to the availability of annual appropriations, with a minimum 50% awardee cost share required. Projects are expected to be funded with a maximum award level of $5M. These projects are anticipated to directly support the SunShot Systems Integration mission of enabling the technolog ies and processes for sustainable and holistic integration of 100s of GW of solar generation into the power system. The purpose of this Notice of Intent (NOI) is to provide interested parties advance notice that EERE intends to issue a FOA in the near term titled, Sustainable and Holistic IntegratioN of Energy storage and Solar PV (SHINES). NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOI. All of the information contained in this Notice is subject to change. EERE will not respond to questions concerning this Notice. If the FOA is released, EERE will provide an avenue for potential Applicants to submit questions. EERE plans to issue the FOA on or after October 20, 2014 via the EERE Exchange website (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/). If Applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding this FOA, they should register in EERE Exchange or Grants.gov. If the FOA is released, applications will be accepted only through EERE Exchange. This is a Notice of Intent only. DOE may issue a FOA as described herein, may issue a FOA that is significantly different than the FOA described herein, or may not issue a FOA at all.</Description>

        <Description>Health centers improve the health of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services. Health Center Program grants support a variety of community-based and patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that serve an increasing number of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved. Individually, each health center plays an important role in the goal of ensuring access to services, and combined, they have had a critical impact on the health care status of medically underserved and vulnerable populations throughout the United States and its territories. The Health Center Program targets the Nation&amp;#191;s neediest populations and geographic areas by currently funding approximately 1,300 health centers that operate over 9,000 service delivery sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In 2013, more than 21 million patients, including medically underserved and uninsured patients, received comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services through the Health Center Program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Health Center Program&amp;#191;s Service Area Competition (SAC). The FOA details the SAC eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations seeking a grant for operational support of an announced service area under the Health Center Program, including Community Health Center (CHC &amp;#191; section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC &amp;#191; section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH &amp;#191; section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC &amp;#191; section 330(i)). For the purposes of this document, the term &amp;#191;health center&amp;#191; refers to the diverse types of health centers (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and /or PHPC) supported under section 330 of the PHS Act, as amended.</Description>

        <Description>The United States Government represented by the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Office for Afghanistan and Pakistan, (INL/AP) directs and oversees foreign assistance programs pertaining to rule of law, law enforcement, and justice sector development in Afghanistan. INL programs in Afghanistan have included training local police forces, helping create programs to reduce poppy cultivation, providing educational advancements to the community especially women and children, funding drug rehabilitation centers, and helping create a justice program that the Afghan people can trust. Corrections institutions are a critical component of an effective justice sector, and INL programs aim to assist Afghanistan as it builds the capacity and quality of these institutions. Incarcerated women and juveniles face unique and acute challenges in Afghanistan. Making training and services available to these populations in prison and assisting them as they transition back into society will improve the human rights record of the Afghan correctional system and enable more women and juveniles to lead peaceful, productive lives post-incarceration. </Description>

        <Description>National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters is releasing an Appendix to the current Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2015 (REDDI) NASA Research Announcement (NRA) for initial studies of visionary aerospace concepts. NNH15ZOA001N, entitled NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts: Phase I Studies, will be available as of October 10th, 2014 by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings &amp;#147;Solicitations&amp;#148; to &amp;#147;Open Solicitations.&amp;#148; This NRA Appendix will solicit multiple studies, each of which will investigate an architecture, mission, or system concept with the potential to enable a great leap in space or aeronautics. Aerospace architecture, mission, or system concepts proposed for NIAC Phase I study must be exciting, unexplored, far-term, and credible. Proposals for narrow technology or subsystem development, or incremental or near-term advancement, are explicitly out of scope for this program. Finally, while NIAC encourages daring vision and accepts the accompanying risk, proposals must be technically credible and plausibly implementable. NIAC is part of the Space Technology Mission Directorate. The 2015 NIAC Phase I solicitation will be a two-step process. Step A will be a 3-page white paper plus summary chart. Proposals shall be submitted electronically, and all Step A proposers shall use the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES), accessible at http://nspires.nasaprs.com , or for Step A may also use Grants.gov. Step B full proposals will be eligible only if invited after review of a Step A submission. Step B proposals shall be submitted electronically through NSPIRES only. This solicitation will be an open announcement; anyone is welcome to respond. Affiliation with any educational institution, commercial or not-for-profit organization, research laboratory, government agency, or NASA Center (including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory) is permitted. Individuals may submit, as long as they meet the registration requirements for NSPIRES. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. Each electronic proposal system places requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the electronic proposal system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Specific proposal submission deadline dates, evaluation criteria, and submission information will be identified in the NRA. Step A White Papers will be due on or before Wednesday, November 12th, 2014; Step B full Proposals will be due on or before Wednesday, January 21st , 2015. 12-16 NIAC Phase I awards are anticipated, but the final number of awards will depend on the quality of proposals and availability of appropriated funds. </Description>

        <Description>Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the Request for Information (RFI) and where to submit responses can be found in the full RFI document posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. THIS RFI IS NOT A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA); THEREFORE, DOE IS NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. EERE intends to issue, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled ?Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies, Fiscal Year 2015 (AFFECT 2015).? This RFI seeks input from interested parties and stakeholders regarding the subject of the anticipated FOA and related details. If the FOA is issued, it will likely provide grants to Federal agencies for renewable energy projects that are incorporated into a privately financed performance contract, such as an Energy Savings Performance Contract or Utility Energy Service Contract, or as part of a renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Applications for renewable energy projects that are financed through appropriations will also be considered. A key merit review criterion will likely be how much private and/or agency funds are leveraged against the FEMP AFFECT grant funding. Highly leveraging outside funds thro ugh performance contracting is important, because it will lead to projects of greater impact. If the FOA is issued, it will be released at some point in Fiscal Year 2015, which began October 1, 2014 and ends September 30, 2015.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to stimulate clinical research focused on biobehavioral or technological interventions to attenuate cognitive decline in individuals with dementia (such as Alzheimers disease, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or disease- or age-related cognitive decline. There is particular interest in interventions that can be implemented in community settings by the affected individual, informal caregivers, or others in the community. Research to inform the development of such interventions is also of interest, as well as research examining underlying mechanisms and biomarkers associated with response to interventions. It is anticipated that the results of this research will help affected individuals maintain independence and quality of life, improve their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and additionally help to reduce stress, burden, and other poor outcomes in their caregivers.</Description>

        <Description>Despite centuries of discovery, most of our planet&amp;apos;s biodiversity remains unknown. The scale of the unknown diversity on Earth is especially troubling given the rapid and permanent loss of biodiversity across the globe. With this loss, humanity is losing links in the web of life that provide ecosystem services, forfeiting an understanding of the history and future of the living world, and losing opportunities for future beneficial discoveries in the domains of food, fiber, fuel, pharmaceuticals, and bio-inspired innovation.The goal of the Dimensions of Biodiversity campaign is to transform, by 2020, how we describe and understand the scope and role of life on Earth. The campaign promotes novel, integrated approaches to identify and understand the evolutionary and ecological significance of biodiversity amidst the changing environment of the present day and in the geologic past.This campaign seeks to characterize biodiversity on Earth by using integrative, innovative approaches to fill the most substantial gaps in our understanding of the diversity of life on Earth. It takes a broad view of biodiversity, and currently focuses on the integration of genetic, taxonomic/phylogenetic, and functional dimensions of biodiversity. Successful proposals should integrate these three dimensions to understand interactions and feedbacks among them. While this focus complements several core NSF programs, it differs by requiring that multiple dimensions of biodiversity be addressed simultaneously, in innovative or novel ways, to understand their synergistic roles in critical ecological and evolutionary processes.Investigators wishing to inquire about the suitability of potential projects for Dimensions of Biodiversity are encouraged to email a brief summary and contact information to Dimensions@nsf.gov.</Description>

        <Description>The Computing Education for the 21st Century (CE21) program aims to build a robust computing research community, a computationally competent 21st century workforce, and a computationally empowered citizenry. In this undertaking, there are three interrelated challenges: the significant underproduction of degrees needed for the computing and computing-related workforce, the longstanding underrepresentation of many segments of our population, and the lack of a presence of computing in K-12. Innovation in information technology (IT) has driven economic growth, underlies many of our recent scientific advances, and ensures our national security; it is not surprising then that predicted IT job growth is very strong. Yet students are not majoring in computing in sufficient numbers. This shortfall is exacerbated by the longstanding underrepresentation of women, persons with disabilities, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans and indigenous peoples in computing. We cannot meet workforce demands without their participation and we cannot, in an increasingly competitive world economy, afford to cede the talents and creativity of so many. To ensure their participation, and the full participation of all students, we must provide better opportunities to study computing in K-12. We must start with a better understanding of how students learn computing. Unlike many of the other STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines, computing has not developed a robust research base on the teaching and learning of its fundamental concepts and skills. That research base must be built and it must be used in providing all students with rigorous academic curricula that cover computational concepts and skills, and the breadth of application and potential of computing. Providing access to rigorous, academic computing in K-12 will require an unprecedented effort to develop curriculum and materials and to prepare teachers.CE21 thus supports efforts in three tracks: Computing Education Research (CER) proposals will aim to develop a research base for computing education. Projects may conduct basic research on the teaching and learning of computational competencies; they may design, develop, test, validate, and refine materials, measurement tools, and methods for teaching in specific contexts; and/or they may implement promising small-scale interventions in order to study their efficacy with particular groups. Efforts can focus on computational thinking as taught in computing courses or infused across the curriculum, they can target students or their teachers in informal or formal educational settings, or they can address any level within the K-16 pipeline, from elementary school through high school and college. CS 10K proposals will aim to develop the knowledge base and partnerships needed to catalyze the CS 10K Project. The CS 10K Project aims to have rigorous, academic curricula incorporated into computing courses in 10,000 high schools, taught by 10,000 well-trained teachers. CS 10K proposals can address a wide range of needed activities, including the development of course materials, pedagogy, and methods courses, as well as professional development and ongoing support for teachers, approaches to scaling, best practices for increasing the participation of students from underrepresented groups, and strategies for building K-12, university, and community partnerships. Broadening Participation (BP) proposals will aim to develop and assess novel interventions that contribute to our knowledge base on the effective teaching and learning of computing for students from the underrepresented groups: women, persons with disabilities, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans and indigenous peoples. Proposed interventions should be designed to engage and retain students from these groups and, at the same time, to increase their knowledge of computational thinking concepts and skills. Proposers are encouraged to leverage the resources provided by the existing BPC-A Alliances and to develop interventions that, if proven successful, could be implemented within a BPC-A Alliance. For additional information on the Alliances, see http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503593&amp;amp;org=NSF.In aggregate, CE21 projects will contribute to our understanding of how diverse student populations are engaged and retained in computing, learn its fundamental concepts, and develop computational competencies that position them to contribute to an increasingly computationally empowered workforce.</Description>

        <Description>The Wildlife Without Borders Critically Endangered Animals Conservation Fund will fund projects that conserve the world&amp;#191;s most endangered species. Species eligible for funding are those that face a very high risk of extinction in the immediate future. Species should meet the criteria to be listed as Critically Endangered or Endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Species listed as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List are also eligible if the applicant can provide information that suggests a similar urgency for conservation action. Species listed as Extinct in Wild are eligible if the applicant is proposing a reintroduction attempt.The following species are NOT eligible for funding: Species with natural habitat range located primarily within the United States, territories of the United States, Canada, and the high income economies of Europe; Species that are eligible for funding under one of the Multinational Species Conservation Fund programs, including: Asian elephant, African elephant, rhinoceros (all species), tiger (all sub-species), gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo, orangutan, gibbons (all species) and marine turtles (all species); and Amphibian species that are eligible for funding through the Wildlife Without Borders - Amphibians in Decline program, including frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians. The goal of this grants program is to reduce threats to highly endangered wildlife in their natural habitat. Proposals should identify specific conservation actions that have a high likelihood of creating durable benefits. Project activities that emphasize data collection and status assessment should describe a direct link to management action, and explain how lack of information has been a key limiting factor for management action in the past. Proposals that do not identify how actions will reduce threats, or do not demonstrate a strong link between data collection and management action, have a lower likelihood of being selected.Proposed project work should occur within the species range, or, if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show a clear relevance to its conservation. Proposals that emphasize ex-situ conservation and captive management have a lower likelihood of being selected.</Description>

        <Description>The Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (&amp;#147;Brownfields Law&amp;#148;, P.L. 107-118) requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish guidance to assist applicants in preparing proposals for grants to assess and clean up brownfield sites. EPA&amp;#146;s Brownfields Program provides funds to empower states, communities, tribes, and nonprofits to prevent, inventory, assess, clean up, and reuse brownfield sites. EPA provides brownfields funding for three types of grants:1. Brownfields Assessment Grants &amp;#150; provides funds to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning (including cleanup planning) and community involvement related to brownfield sites.2. Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grants &amp;#150; provides funds for a grant recipient to capitalize a revolving fund and to make loans and provide subgrants to conduct cleanup activities at brownfield sites.3. Brownfields Cleanup Grants &amp;#150; provides funds to conduct cleanup activities at a specific brownfield site owned by the applicant.Under these guidelines, EPA is seeking proposals for Assessment Grants only. If you are interested in requesting funding for Cleanup Grants, please refer to announcement EPA-OSWER-OBLR-14-08 (Cleanup Grant guidelines) posted separately on www.grants.gov and www.epa.gov/brownfields. Note: A solicitation for new Revolving Loan Fund Grants will not be issued in FY15. EPA expects to solicit requests from existing, high performing RLF grantees 2through a Federal Register notice for supplemental RLF funding in early 2015.</Description>

        <Description>The Saltonstall-Kennedy Act established a fund, commonly known as the S-K fund, used by the Secretary of Commerce to provide grants or cooperative agreements for fisheries research and development projects addressing aspects of U.S. fisheries, including, but not limited to, harvesting, processing, marketing, and associated infrastructures. Under this authority, and subject to the availability of funding, grants and cooperative agreements are made on a competitive basis to assist in carrying out projects related to U.S. commercial and recreational fisheries. The term &amp;#147;fisheries&amp;#148; encompasses wild capture, marine aquaculture and recreational fishing. The objective of the S-K Grant Program is to address the needs of the fisheries and fishing communities in optimizing economic benefits by building and maintaining sustainable fisheries and practices, dealing with the impacts of conservation and management measures, and increasing other opportunities to keep working waterfronts viable. U.S. fisheries means any fishery, commercial or recreational, that is, or may be, engaged in by citizens or nationals of the United States, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, or the Federated States of Micronesia. Proposals submitted under this competition must address at least one of the following: (1) maximize fishing opportunities and jobs; (2) improve the cost effectiveness and capacity for observations; (3) increase the supply, quality, and diversification of domestic seafood; and (4) improve the quality and quantity of fishery information from the U.S. territories. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S.-Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) seeks single-country proposals for its Local Grants program. The Local Grants program serves as MEPI&amp;#146;s most direct means of supporting organizations and individuals in the Middle East and North Africa. These grants are designed to: &amp;#149; Promote positive change, advocacy, and civic activism; &amp;#149; Strengthen civil society; &amp;#149; Support citizen&amp;#146;s efforts to achieve economic, social, and political empowerment; &amp;#149; Expand opportunities for women and youth; &amp;#149; Strengthen the rule of law; &amp;#149; Develop independent media; and &amp;#149; Help communities work alongside governments in shaping their own futures. MEPI&amp;#146;s regional offices, located in the Middle East and North Africa, manage the program. For more information about MEPI&amp;#146;s regional offices, or to contact them, visit: www.medregion.mepi.state.gov or www.arabianpeninsula.mepi.state.gov. A MEPI Committee at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate within each country of origin reviews all Local Grant proposals, and forwards only the most competitive proposals to one of MEPI&amp;#146;s two regional offices to negotiate the awards. MEPI accepts proposals to this program on a rolling basis, but each U.S. Embassy or Consulate has a unique selection process for submissions. Applicants should ask the respective U.S. Embassies or Consulates about their selection processes before preparing their submissions. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites U01 applications for the establishment of a clinical consortium, composed of one Coordination and Data Management Center (CDMC) and up to 9 Clinical Centers (CC), to conduct studies on chronic pancreatitis (CP) and factors that increase the risk of pancreatic cancer in patients (children and adults) with CP, pancreatogenic (type 3c) diabetes (T3cDM) and in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes. The Consortium will form multi-disciplinary teams composed of members from the CCs and CDMC to undertake a comprehensive clinical, epidemiological and biological characterization of patients with CP (including those with Acute Recurrent Pancreatitis, ARP) to gain insight into the pathophysiology of chronic pancreatitis and its sequela: chronic pain, pancreatic insufficiency, T3cDM and the diabetes/pancreatic cancer association. The teams will also undertake studies on the development of pancreatic cancer in newly diagnosed diabetic patients. Applications for the consortium Clinical Centers are being solicited via RFA-DK-14-027 &amp;quot;Consortium for the Study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Centers (CSCPDPC-CCs) (U01)&amp;quot;. To achieve the goal of a comprehensive characterization of evolving chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, the Coordinating and Data Management Center (CDMC) will take on the administrative and data collection/analysis functions and will be responsible for the conduct of all of the ongoing and future studies of the CCs. In addition, a major collaborative effort within the Consortium will be the establishment of an annotated repository of bio-specimens (blood, pancreatic and duodenal juice, stools and when feasible pancreatic tissue) to allow for the identification and validation of biomarkers for risk stratification and/or early detection. </Description>

        <Description>The Wildlife Without Borders-Latin America and the Caribbean Program (WWB LAC) funds projects designed to strengthen the ability of Latin American and Caribbean institutions to manage and conserve species, habitats, and ecological processes for the benefit of the people of the Americas and the world.Of particular interest are projects that build the human and institutional capacity to effectively conserve and manage biodiversity in Latin America and the Caribbean through a holistic and inter-disciplinary approach with a primary emphasis on the social context.In November 2009, the WWB-LAC Program held a workshop in Nicaragua to lay the foundation for a new initiative to develop a model program to train highly effective future conservation professionals through an interdisciplinary, holistic approach to resource management and conservation adapted to the complexities of modern society and the interconnectedness of the landscapes upon which society depends. The model training program initiative will be funded under a separate Notice of Funding Availability, which can be found on the same web site as the workshop proceedings.The WWB LAC Program is now soliciting proposals to support the organization and implementation of a follow-up meeting in Latin America to explore the possibility of creating a new regional society of current conservation professionals who embrace the importance of emphasizing the social context of biodiversity conservation. The proposed time for the meeting is September 2012.</Description>

        <Description>The National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA/NMFS) is soliciting competitive applications for the FY2015 Pacific Islands Region Marine Turtle Management and Conservation Program (MTMCP) to fund conservation, protection, or management actions supporting recovery of Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed sea turtle species occurring within the Pacific Islands Region (PIR) or of aggregations that may be shared between the PIR and other Pacific nations. NOAA/NMFS will consider internationally-based projects targeting sea turtle populations that originate from the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (i.e., from areas outside U.S. jurisdiction) but migrate through or forage within the PIR, are impacted by PIR activities managed by NOAA/NMFS, or are otherwise relevant to NOAA/NMFS management and recovery obligations. The PIR is comprised of the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) adjacent to the State of Hawaii, U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the U.S. Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIAs) of Jarvis, Johnston, Wake, Howland and Baker Islands, Kingman Reef, and Palmyra and Midway Atolls. Sea turtle species with documented linkages to the PIR include: leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), North and South Pacific loggerhead (Caretta caretta) Distinct Population Segments (DPS), olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), and green turtle (Chelonia mydas).</Description>

        <Description>The US Government through USAID intends to support the GOU in developing ecotourism in selected protected areas. The proposed Eco-Tourism program directly links to USAID/Uganda&amp;#146;s 2011-2015 Country Development Cooperation Strategy at Intermediate Result 1.3 &amp;#150; Natural Resource base degradation mitigated to protect future value. Through this program, numerous measures through the development and expansion of eco-tourism will be taken to mitigate and protect key existing or potential ecotourism sites in Uganda. Description of Activities The principal objective of this program is to use ecotourism as a tool to reduce threats to biodiversity and conserve selected critical ecosystems across Uganda&amp;#146;s diverse landscapes so as to support sustained economic growth. The Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) mentions that natural resource management activities will be tailored geographically and references the areas prioritized by the GOU for ecotourism development. Based on Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage, much of the conservation donor support has been going to protected areas located in the Albertine Rift, particularly those habited by great apes. The proposed program will use the lessons learned from the Albertine Rift, or other sites in East and South Africa, to replicate efforts in other biologically rich landscapes. This will not only lead to broader development through tourism in diverse regions of the country, but also expand locally-oriented, tourism management capacity. After consulting with the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage, UWA, and the National Forestry Authority (NFA), USAID decided to support the following areas: Murchison Falls National Park, Kidepo Valley National Park, Lake Mburo National Park and, Budongo and Kalinzu Forest Reserves. The program will, on a case by case basis, still work in selected ecosystems in the Albertine Rift. Through civil society organizations like the Uganda Community Tourism Association (UCOTA) and private sector tourist consortiums such as the Uganda Tourist Association (UTA), this program&amp;#146;s design and implementation is expected to realize a range of enhanced opportunities for improved, multi-stakeholder collaboration. USAID/Uganda believes that focusing programs and resources will provide the best possible opportunity to realize impact, particularly regarding increased biodiversity conservation and increased household incomes. Implementation of the tourism program will lead to the following results: Intermediate Result 1 &amp;#150;Capacity to effectively manage Uganda&amp;#146;s biodiversity increased This intermediate result will be realized by dedicating activities for improving the UWA and NFA&amp;#146;s ability to manage biological resources. Efforts will be three-fold, supporting: (1) improved delivery of tourism products &amp;#150; improving protected areas (PAs) and reserve experience through signage, interpretive material, tracks; (2) improved capture of revenue through improving collection of gate and concessions funds, and an improved ability to negotiate and partner with private sector to increase revenue; (3) improved management of PA including through implementation of management plans and by addressing key threats; and (4) identify other, innovative opportunities to mitigate human wildlife conflicts. Illustrative activities: &amp;#149; Improve conservation agencies&amp;#146; negotiation skills to address fee structure with private sector; &amp;#149; Technology developed and implemented to collect PA entrance and concession fees; &amp;#149; Improved delivery of concessions in PAs (by private sector, UWA and NFA); &amp;#149; Support the diversification of tourism products such as a canopy walk in Kalinzu Forest Reserve; &amp;#149; Support to technical capacity improvement to the agencies to better manage biological resources; Intermediate Result 2 &amp;#150;Capacity to market Ecotourism improved Efforts will focus on: (1) improving the eco-tourism experience; and (2) improving promotion of nature based tourism, especially in niche markets such as primate, bird and hiking tourism. Illustrative activities: &amp;#149; Support UWA and NFA in working with the private sector to develop and implement standards and codes of conduct for tourism operators toward required certification to enable guides to enter PA and reserves; &amp;#149; Identify possibilities of engaging with the private sector to co-invest in service provision in protected areas. &amp;#149; Implement GoU&amp;#146;s inter-institutional strategy to promote Uganda eco-tourism focusing on Uganda&amp;#146;s unique biodiversity; &amp;#149; Support Uganda Tourism Board to set up a web portal and increase tourism marketing; and Intermediate Result 3 &amp;#150;Benefits derived from biodiversity conservation activities accrued by communities living in and adjacent to protected areas increased Few protected areas are large enough to provide the ecological requirements for large, ranging species. Loss of traditional dispersal areas and migratory routes can lead to population losses as species are unable to follow traditional seasonal movements and secure access to dry season refugia. In addition, competing land uses that are incompatible with wildlife dispersal can lead to increased human-wildlife conflict leading to loss of life, livestock and crops. Win-win solutions have focused on increasing the economic options derived from conservation compatible land uses as alternatives for local communities. During the past two decades, landscape conservation management practices have developed to address conservation efforts that connect key protected areas with corridors and dispersal areas through increasing the amount of land under wildlife friendly land uses. This program&amp;#146;s key feature will be to develop and foster community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) with communities adjacent to protected areas where wildlife dispersal is creating conflict with current crop agriculture and/or livestock grazing. The program will focus on linking private sector tourism opportunities with interested communities in wildlife dispersal areas and/or corridors between protected areas. The support will further help to build the capacity of the communities in negotiating partnership agreements with the private sector companies, and also capacity to develop and manage community-based, eco-tourism oriented businesses. While a range of local tourism business products and services will be developed, the program will also build communities&amp;#146; capacities to monitor wildlife populations and address threats to wildlife movement and survival on community managed lands. The program is expected to focus on one or more areas where there are good options for wildlife viewing outside protected areas, where communities are interested in reducing wildlife conflict by developing alternative economic opportunities and where there is potentially strong private sector interest in fostering wildlife based tourism. CBNRM will be developed in areas where wildlife also ranges outside protected areas, such as areas adjacent to Kidepo National Park and Lake Mburo. Program activities will focus on increasing the potential ecologically valuable areas outside protected areas under improved biodiversity management and increasing economic benefits accrued by communities by developing a range of wildlife friendly, profitable and biodiversity compatible businesses, including ecotourism. Illustrative activities: &amp;#149; Identify private sector partners to develop ecotourism partnerships with communities; &amp;#149; Community capacity developed to implement strategies to reduce human-wildlife conflict through diverse economic opportunities and alternative crops.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites U01 cooperative agreement applications for Physical Science-Oncology Projects (PS-OP). The goal of the PS-OPs is to foster the convergence of physical sciences approaches and perspectives with cancer research to advance our understanding of cancer biology and oncology by forming small transdisciplinary teams of physical scientists and cancer biologists/physician scientists. Examples of physical scientists may include engineers, physicists, mathematicians, chemists, and computer scientists. The PS-OPs, individually and as a collaborative Network along with other PS-OPs and the Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers (PS-OC), will support transdisciplinary research that: (1) establishes a physical sciences perspective within the cancer research community; (2) facilitates team science and field convergence at the intersection of physical sciences and cancer research; and (3) collectively tests physical sciences-based experimental and theoretical concepts of cancer and promotes innovative solutions to address outstanding questions in cancer research. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), intends to issue, on behalf of USDA?s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and DOE?s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), a Request for Applications (RFA) entitled ?Fiscal Year 15 Biomass Research and Development Initiative (?BRDI?).? The RFA will address USDA and DOE programmatic objectives, administrative roles, and areas of interest in implementing Biomass Research and Development Initiative (BRDI) grants. Section 9001(a) of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (FCEA) (Pub. L. 110-246) re-authorized the BRDI competitive grants program by amending section 9008 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA), as amended, (Pub. L. 107-171) (7 U.S.C. 8108). For fiscal year (FY) 2015, BRDI will require that funded projects address only one (1) of the following three (3) legislatively mandated technical areas: 1. Feedstocks development ? The intent of this Topic Area is to address research, development, and demonstration (RD&amp;amp;D) activities regarding feedstocks and feedstock logistics (including harvest, handling, transport, preprocessing, and storage) relevant to production of raw materials for conversion to biofuels and biobased products. The BRDI program is designed to support near-term commercial systems. Projects should emphasize development and optimization of existing feedstocks that will be available for testing and demonstration during the life of the project. Proposals that include breeding or genetic improvement of feedstocks should reconcile this work with the Program?s emphasis on near-term impacts. 2. Biofuels and biobased products development ? The intent of this Topic Area is to address RD&amp;amp;D activities to support (i) development of diverse cost-effective technologies for the use of cellulosic biomass in the production of biofuels, bioenergy, and biobased products; and, (ii) product diversification through technologies relevant to the production of a range of biobased products (including chemicals, animal feeds, and cogeneration power) that potentially can increase the feasibility of fuel production in a biorefinery. 3. Biofuels development analysis ? The intent of this Topic Area is to apply systems evaluation methods that can be used to optimize system performance and market potential and to quantify the project?s impact on sustainability; therefore, successful applications will consider the lifecycle (cradle-to-grave) impacts including environmental, social, and economic implications that are attributable to the project. Successful projects should include these sustainability data in engineering process models and be used over the life of the project to improve the system and quantify sustainability impacts. This Notice is issued so that interested parties are aware of NIFA&amp;apos;s and EERE&amp;apos;s intention to issue a RFA in the near term. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE. Please do not submit questions or respond to this Notice of Intent. Prospective applicants to the RFA should begin developing partnerships, formulating ideas, and gathering data in anticipation of the issuance of this RFA. It is anticipated that the RFA will be posted to Grants.gov in November 2014.</Description>

        <Description>The Study of the U.S. Branch, Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA/A/E/USS), invites proposal submissions for the design and implementation of two (2) Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders on Women&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s Leadership. Applicants may submit only one proposal to implement one Institute under this competition. Taking place over the course of five weeks at a U.S. academic institution, each Institute should be organized for a group of 20 foreign undergraduate female students focusing on the history and participation of women in public life in the United States and linkages to global women&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s issues. Information on the scheduling of the Institute and grouping of participants can be found in Section I.5 of the RFGP. Applicants may also apply to take the lead in organizing the opening workshop for 80 SUSI participants and 20 U.S. student ambassadors, all of whom will continue on to Study of the U.S. Institutes on Women&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s Leadership (including the two Institutes in this solicitation and two Institutes funded through separate awards). More information on this can be found in the attached Project Objectives, Goals, and Implementation. ECA plans to award two Cooperative Agreements for the implementation of two Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders on Women&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s Leadership and welcomes applications from accredited post-secondary education institutions in the United States and public and private non-profit organizations (see Eligibility Information, section III of the RFGP). The awarding of Cooperative Agreements for these programs is contingent upon the availability of FY 2015 funds. It is ECA&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s intent to award two cooperative agreements for one base year plus two option years for an estimated total amount of $1,440,000.</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites Cooperative Agreement (U01) applications from multi-disciplinary and synergistic teams of investigators proposing to identify and characterize the full spectrum of somatic variation in human brain samples and to assess the relationship of such variation with the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. This FOA seeks to support applications exploring the extent of somatic variations across different brain regions in one or more psychiatric disorders using state-of-the-art genomic, computational, single-cell and other relevant approaches. Awards made under this FOA and the companion FOA (PAR-14-173) will be governed by a Brain Somatic Mosaicism (BSM) Network Steering Committee to accelerate scientific progress through the coordination of research strategies, analytical methods and data. The ultimate goal of this FOA and the companion FOA (PAR-14-173) is to address gaps in our understanding of the role of somatic genomic perturbations in the etiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. This FOA should be used when two or more collaborating sites are essential to complete the proposed research. It is required that the Research Strategy be identical across linked collaborative U01 applications, with the exception of a short section describing specific function of each application under &amp;quot;elements unique to that site.&amp;quot; For a linked set of collaborative U01 applications, each application must have its own Program Directory/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) and the program must provide a mechanism for cross-site coordination, quality control, data and sample sharing among the BSM Network members as appropriate, database management, statistical analysis, and reporting. </Description>

        <Description>OFDA&amp;#146;s mandate is to save lives, alleviate human suffering, and reduce the social and economic impact of disasters worldwide. In order to achieve this goal, USAID/OFDA seeks to fund one or more organization(s) to support the development of local humanitarian organizations operating inside Syria and strengthen their ability to implement successful disaster response activities in conflict-affected communities. This funding opportunity has two distinct but inter-related objectives:Objective 1: Provide local organizations with the ability to strengthen their technical, management, and programmatic skills, to increase the quality of their internal operations and their standards of work on the ground, and;Objective 2: Through small scale grants, support local NGOs in responding to emergency needs throughout Syria.Under this APS, OFDA will consider applications for the establishment of a capacity-building program to strengthen the organizational capacity of local organizations and an umbrella mechanism whereby sub-awardees can address the urgent humanitarian needs of populations affected by the conflict. For detailed information on the program and the application requirements, please review the entire full announcement of APS-OFDA-15-000001.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of FDA&amp;apos;s OPD grant program is to support the clinical development of products for use in rare diseases or conditions where no current therapy exists or where the product being developed will be superior to the existing therapy. FDA provides grants for clinical studies on safety and/or effectiveness that will either result in, or substantially contribute to, market approval of these products. Applicants must include in the application&amp;apos;s Background and Significance section documentation to support the assertion that the orphan disease or condition to be studied is a &amp;#147;rare disease or condition&amp;#148; and an explanation of how the proposed study will either help support product approval or provide essential data needed for product development.</Description>

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION AUTHORITY: Grant making authority for the Program for Research and Training on Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII) is contained in the Soviet-Eastern European Research and Training Act of 1983 (22 U.S.C. 4501-4508, as amended.) PURPOSE: Congress determined that independently verified factual knowledge about the countries of Eastern Europe and Eurasia is critical to the national security of the United States, the furtherance of its national interests in the conduct of foreign relations, and the prudent management of its domestic affairs. Congress further concluded that providing a stable and dedicated source of financial support for Title VIII functions supplementing other Federal, State, local, regional, and private sector funding is critical to maintaining this important research and training on a long-term, national scale. The development and maintenance of U.S. expertise on these regions depends upon a national capability for advanced research by highly trained specialists with in-country experience.

Bring American expertise to the service of the U. S. Government by encouraging Title VIII fellows to pursue careers, internships, or short-term sabbaticals during and/or after their overseas program; ? Assist State Department efforts to raise awareness of the Title VIII program through comprehensive outreach and reporting by: o Using the Department?s standard data themes in icPORT; o Promoting participants? experiences and research findings through presentations and briefings in the U.S.; o Disseminating final research results within the academic and government policy communities; and o Communicating regularly with the State Department.

        <Description>The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has issued, on behalf of the Buildings Technology Office, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) number DE-FOA-0001168 entitled ?Advancing Solutions to Improve the Energy Efficiency of U.S. Commercial Buildings.? The full text of the Funding Opportunity Announcement is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Through the FOA, DOE seeks to fund the scale-up of promising solutions to the market barriers that hinder the growth of energy efficiency in the commercial building sector. The objective of this funding is to build a path for market-ready solutions to be used at scale across the U.S. to improve building energy efficiency. In order for the Building Technologies Office Commercial Building Integration Program to meet DOE?s national energy efficiency goals for commercial buildings (20% improvement by 2020; 50% by 2030), the program has invested in the development of resources, tools, and solutions designed to help overcome these barriers to energy efficiency. Successful proposals will deploy one or more of these resources, tools and solutions through successful existing programs or innovative new ones, to increase program impact and increase energy savings in commercial buildings. Coalitions of organizations are encouraged to apply together in order to better leverage current deployment channels, market orientation, strategic relationships and overall deployment impact (geographic, sector or otherwise.) Successful applicants will succinctly summarize persistent market barriers, the solution or solutions proposed to overcome one or more market barriers, and the deployment opportunity and plan to achieve results. DOE is interested in proposals that will impact a significant geographic or market sector (at least 100 buildings is the minimum for consideration). Proposals should develop a program over the grant period that can be self-sustaining without DOE funding after the funding period ends. The full text of the Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0001168 is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications will only be accepted through that website. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website.

        <Description>This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to The University of Delaware in Newark, DE. This announcement is for notification purposes only. This award is issued to provide financial assistance to collaboratively-developed priority projects in Hurricane Sandy disaster areas that will restore environmental resources and improve resiliency. The intent of the award is to provide a quantitative assessment of American black duck food resources available in saltmarshes and impoundments targeted for restoration efforts after Hurricane Sandy at three affiliated National Wildlife Refuges in the northeast: Edwin B. Forsythe NWR in NJ, Cape May NWR in NJ, and Prime Hook NWR in DE. American black ducks are a priority species that are sensitive to available habitat in the Mid-Atlantic saltmarshes and connected impoundments. Any alteration of habitat due to Hurricane Sandy had the potential to greatly impact this species required habitat needs for long term population stability. Additionally, because this species is sensitive to saltmarsh habitat quality, they serve as an indicator species for saltmarsh health with implications for human/property protection. The restoration projects that will be evaluated were previously vetted and approved for funding by the Department of the Interior. The appropriation for this project is the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2. Criteria for funding was based on the project&amp;#191;s ability to yield the greatest return on investment by taking advantage of existing science and regional planning tools for resiliency and by working with states, cities, communities, and partners who contribute to the goals of restoring and rebuilding national wildlife refuges and other federal public assets; and to increase resiliency and the capacity of coastal habitat and infrastructure and to withstand future storms and to minimize the damage incurred. Hurricane Sandy impacted the primary wintering area for the American black duck (Anas rubripes) which has been identified as a &amp;#191;Species of Greatest Conservation Need&amp;#191; by 23 states in the Mississippi and Atlantic Flyways. According to the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture (ACJV), the coastal systems from Connecticut to Virginia support 77% of the wintering black ducks in the Atlantic Flyway. On all 3 Refuges, the proposed project would provide an opportunity to compare pre- and post-Sandy data, provide pre-restoration baseline data, and at some locations assess the initial effects of saltmarsh habitat restoration on American black duck food availability. This project is authorized by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2. </Description>

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters, on October 24, 2014 released the solicitation, titled &amp;#147;Ultra-lightweight Core Materials for Efficient Load-Bearing Composite Sandwich Structures,&amp;#148; as an Appendix to the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) NASA Research Announcement (NRA), titled &amp;#147;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion - 2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015)&amp;quot;. complete details (to include due dates) can be accessed via the following steps:1. Open the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/2. Select &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot;3. Select &amp;quot;Open Solicitations&amp;#148;4. Select &amp;quot;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion - 2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015) NNH15ZOA001N&amp;#148;5. Select &amp;#147;List of Open Program Elements&amp;#148;6. Select &amp;#147;Game Changing Development (GCD) NNH15ZOA001N-15GCD-C1&amp;#148;7. Select &amp;#147;Game Changing Development (GCD) NNH15ZOA001N-15GCD-C1 (ULW Core)&amp;#148; under Announcement DocumentsThe Government plans to conduct a phased acquisition involving a progressive competitive down-selection process (see 1817.7301-5). Competition for subsequent phases will build on the results of the previous phases. Phase I is the Manufacturing Feasibility phase with an expected duration of up to 13 months. Phase II is the Scale-up and Test Article Fabrication phase with an expected duration of up to 18 months.The award criteria for subsequent phases will include demonstrated completion of specified previous phase requirements. The Government expects that only the initial phase contractors will be capable of successfully competing for the subsequent phase(s). Proposals for the subsequent phase(s) will be requested from these contractors. The Government does not intend to issue a new, formal solicitation for subsequent phases(s). Request letters will be issued for each subsequent phase to provide guidance on proposal content and evaluation criteria. Each subsequent phase will be synopsized. Notwithstanding the expectation that only the initial phase contractors will be capable of successfully competing for the subsequent phase(s), proposals from all responsible sources submitted by the specified due date will be considered. In order to contend for the second phase awards, prospective offerors must demonstrate a design maturity equivalent to that of the prior phase awardees, documentation equivalent to the Phase I requirements, and provide the required Phase I test samples for government testing. Failure to fully and completely demonstrate the appropriate level of design maturity, provide documentation on the Phase I requirements, and provide acceptable test samples may render the proposal unacceptable with no further consideration for contract award.Appendix NNH15ZOA001N-15GCD-C1 seeks proposals for the maturation and development of scalable methods to manufacture ultra-lightweight core materials as lower mass alternatives to honeycomb or foam cores in composite sandwich structures.The development of advanced manufacturing techniques has led to the production of lightweight, hierarchical structures with the potential for use as lower mass alternatives to conventional core components in composite sandwich structures. NASA is interested in scaling up manufacturing processes to produce ultra-lightweight core materials that could be used to produce large-scale composite sandwich structures. The envisioned development effort would demonstrate that materials are a cost-effective and lighter weight alternative to conventional core materials. The overall goal of the Appendix is to develop and demonstrate scalable and cost-effective manufacturing approaches to produce ultra-lightweight core materials both as flat panels and curved structures. The resultant structures will have half or less the areal density of conventional honeycomb cores, while retaining equivalent, or better, mechanical properties.All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES by an authorized organizational representative (AOR). Detailed submission instructions are provided in the SpaceTech-REDDI-2015 NRA, as well as the Guidebook for Proposers Responding to a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) or Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) (Edition May 2014). Potential proposers and their proposing organizations are urged to familiarize themselves with the submission system, ensure they are registered in NSPIRES, and submit the required proposal materials well in advance of the deadline.Interested proposers should monitor the NSPIRES website or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for release of the SpaceTech-REDDI-2015 Appendices.Technical, programmatic, and procurement comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to HQ-STMD-GCDC1@mail.nasa.gov . Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and may also be included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the Appendix; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. </Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW INFORMATIONCatalog of Domestic Assistance Number is 10.674Program name is Wood Utilization AssistanceImportant Dates:October 27, 2014 Issuance of Request for ProposalsJanuary 23, 2015 Proposal submission deadlineSynopsis of Funding OpportunityThe U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service) requests proposals to substantially expand and accelerate wood energy and wood products markets throughout the United States to support forest management needs on National Forest System and other forest lands. This Request for Proposals focuses on the following priorities:&amp;#149; Reduce hazardous fuels and improve forest health on National Forest System and other forest lands. &amp;#149; Reduce costs of forest management on all land types.&amp;#149; Promote economic and environmental health of communities.Funding will be awarded in two separate grant categories: GRANT CATEGORY 1: EXPANSION OF WOOD ENERGY MARKETSThe intent of this category is to stimulate, expand, or support wood energy markets that depend on forest residues or forest byproducts generated from all land types. Preference will be given to projects that make use of low-value wood generated from National Forest System and other forest lands with high wildfire risk. Subcategories include:1. Statewide Wood Energy Teams 2. Wood Energy Projects3. Wood Energy MarketsGRANT CATEGORY 2: EXPANSION OF WOOD PRODUCTS MARKETSThe intent of this category is to promote markets that create or expand the demand for non-energy based wood products. Preference will be given to projects that support commercial building markets or other markets that use existing or innovative wood products. Wood energy projects will not be considered under this category because those projects can apply for funding under Grant Category 1. Completed electronic applications are due to the Regional Biomass Coordinator designated for your Forest Service region by 11:59 p.m. on January 23, 2015.Each submittal must consist of two separate PDF files, as follows: 1. Proposal narrative and appendixes (Wood Innovations Application Parts 1 and 2) 2. Financial Forms (Wood Innovations Application Part 3)Searchable format PDF files are preferred.For more details, visit http://www.na.fs.fed.us/werc/ and click on the link to the 2015 Wood Innovations Grant Program.

        <Description>Overview: The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) into NRCS policy, technical manuals, guides, and references or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. Projects intended to test hypotheses do not qualify. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology. It is a vehicle to stimulate development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a high likelihood of success, and to be a candidate for eventual technology transfer or institutionalization. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovative, on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. In FY 2012, CIG is offering a water quality credit trading systems funding category. Water quality credit trading markets are an emerging means to meet existing or potential Federal and State level water quality requirements. The overall goal of these grants is to support State agencies and/or other cooperating entities seeking to design and launch water quality credit trading markets between point and non-point sources. NRCS will accept applications for single or multi-year projects, not to exceed 3 years, submitted to NRCS from eligible entities including Federally recognized Indian tribes, State and local units of government, and non-governmental organizations and individuals. Applications are accepted from all 50 States, the Caribbean Area (Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands), and the Pacific Islands Area (Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands). Applications will be screened for completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice. Incomplete applications will be eliminated from competition, and notification of elimination will be mailed to the applicant. Complete applications received by applicable deadlines will be evaluated by a technical peer review panel based on the Criteria for Application Evaluation identified in the application instructions in section V.B. Applications, along with their associated technical peer review, will be forwarded to the Grants Review Board. The Grants Review Board will make recommendations for project approval to the NRCS Chief who will make the final selections.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES-2014 NRA (NNH14ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#146;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat, and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Table 2, organized by due date, can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table2 and Table 3, organized by subject area can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table3. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2015, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES-2014 NRA will be available at:http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2014 Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>This Cooperative Agreement will begin on or after June 1, 2015, and may extend through June 30, 2016.Description of Funding OpportunityJazz is a uniquely American art form, born and bred in the United States. As the Nation&amp;apos;s cultural agency, the National Endowment for the Arts recognizes jazz&amp;apos;s historical significance and assumes a leadership role in acknowledging and nurturing its presence in our culture for present and future generations of musicians and audiences alike. This art form significantly contributes not just to American culture, but to world culture--as it is practiced all over the globe. Touring jazz musicians often are likened to ambassadors engaging in cultural diplomacy. The Arts Endowment plans to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with an organization to coordinate a free, public event honoring the 2016 NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship awardees, and related activities as detailed below. The event must take place during the month of April 2016, to coincide with and acknowledge the 15th anniversary of Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM). In addition, the event venue must be located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area to coincide with the year-long 50th anniversary celebrations of the National Endowment for the Arts (October 2015-2016). The event also must be webcast live to reach national and global audiences.</Description>

        <Description>This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey (CWF). This is DOI project number EBF 37. This announcement is for notification purposes only. The intent of the award is to conduct monitoring of nesting activities of federally threatened and State endangered beach nesting birds on Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). Species being monitored are the piping plover (Charadrius melodus), least tern (Sterna albifrons), black skimmer (Rynchops niger) and American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliates). CWF would monitor nesting activities on a daily basis (minimum five days/week each). This project was previously vetted and approved for funding by the Department of the Interior. The appropriation for this project is the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2. Criteria for funding was based on the project&amp;#191;s ability to yield the greatest return on investment by taking advantage of existing science and regional planning tools for resiliency and by working with states, cities, communities, and partners who contribute to the goals of restoring and rebuilding national wildlife refuges and other federal public assets; and to increase resiliency and the capacity of coastal habitat and infrastructure and to withstand future storms and to minimize the damage incurred. This project is authorized by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2. Pre award costs: Until pre award costs are authorized under an approved award, the applicant has no assurance the USFWS will reimburse these costs. To potentially qualify for pre award cost reimbursement, an applicant must demonstrate in the application that some pre award activities were necessary and reasonable for accomplishing the overall program objectives. </Description>

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development Mission in Tanzania (USAID/Tanzania) anticipates the award of a new $65 million, five-year cooperative agreement for a project entitled Caring for Children and Empowering Young People (C2EYP) . Funded primarily from the U.S. President&amp;#146;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), this project targets the most vulnerable children (MVC) and young people, orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV and other adversities; also known as, orphans and vulnerable children (OVC)...Under this project, USAID seeks to enable more MVC and other young people to access services for improving health, nutrition, education, protection, livelihoods and psychosocial well-being. In order to achieve this purpose, the project will build the capacity of caregivers to provide care and access to services for their children and young people. In addition, it seeks to improve and expand age-appropriate service utilization for children and young people, especially hard-to-reach children. This project will support the PEPFAR continuum of care in Tanzania, meaning it will be implemented in regions where USAID and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have located clinical projects; it refer families to HIV services; and it will receive referrals from clinical partners, especially for Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission (PMTCT) and pediatric care and treatment. Please see attachment for further details. </Description>

        <Description>The purposes of modification 000002 are to revise Section II.B.2. Funding Agreements with FFRDCs, GOGOs, Federal Agencies and Federal Instrumentalities and revise Section III.E.2. Requirements for DOE/NNSA and non-DOE/NNSA Federally Funded Research and Development Centers Included as a Subrecipient. All other parts of the Funding Opportunity Announcement remain unchanged. The SunShot Initiative (SunShot) is a national collaborative effort to make solar energy cost-competitive with other forms of electricity by the end of the decade. The installed cost of solar photovoltaics (PV) has reduced significantly in recent years, spurring significant and accelerating deployment of PV systems. With the anticipated proliferation of solar power at the centralized and distributed scales, the variability and uncertainty of the solar resource poses challenges for reliably integrating photovoltaics (PV) with electric power systems, both at the distribution and bulk system levels. The goal of the Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, SHINES Funding Opportunity is to enable the development and demonstration of integrated, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for solar that incorporates energy storage and works seamlessly to meet both consumer needs and the needs of the electricity grid. Such an integrated solution should utilize smart inverters, and be capable of working with smart buildings, smart appliances, and utility communication and control systems. The solutions thus developed will enable widespread sustainable deployment of low-cost, flexible, and reliable PV generation, and provide for successful integration of PV power plants with the electric grid.

        <Description>This BAA employs the Sense-Assess-Augment paradigm to accelerate research and development of technologies capable of detecting/assessing human performance. This BAA focuses on identifying, developing, characterizing, and accelerating sensing technologies that can be utilized to assess the physiological, cognitive, and psychological states of human operators. It is also anticipated that these technologies will be implemented into fieldable systems. Research will have an emphasis on developing technologies capable of detecting &amp;amp; sensing physiological, biomarker, and behavioral metrics which are or can be correlated with human state/performance. An emphasis will also be placed upon the development, integration, miniaturization, initial operational test and evaluation, and verification and validation of human-centric multi-sensor suite designs. Research focusing on the manufacturing of nano-biomaterial sensors are of particular interest. Research may also focus on developing and implementing empirically-based models, frameworks, and novel evaluation capabilities, to identify assessment linkages to performance. Initial testing &amp;amp; evaluation and verification and validation of the developed technologies is vital to ensure appropriate and proper performance in laboratory and operational-type settings. Relevant USAF application domains include Air, Special Operations, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, Remotely Piloted Aircraft, and Cyber Operations, as well as training applications as afforded by Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) environments.</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation&amp;apos;s (Reclamation&amp;apos;s) Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse program (Title XVI) is an important part of WaterSMART. For purposes of the Title XVI Program, a water reuse project is a project that reclaims and reuses municipal, industrial, domestic, or agricultural wastewater and naturally impaired groundwater and/or surface waters. Reclaimed water can be used for a variety of purposes such as environmental restoration, fish and wildlife, groundwater recharge, municipal, domestic, industrial, agricultural, power generation, or recreation. Water reuse is an essential tool in stretching the limited water supplies in the Western United States. Title XVI projects develop and supplement urban and irrigation water supplies through water reuse, thereby improving efficiency, providing flexibility during water shortages, and diversifying the water supply. Title XVI projects provide growing communities with new sources of clean water while promoting water and energy efficiency and environmental stewardship and are an important part of the Department&amp;apos;s implementation of the President&amp;apos;s June 2013 Climate Action Plan and the November 1, 2013, Executive Order, Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change. Through water reuse, Title XVI projects increase water management flexibility, making our water supply more resilient and thereby helping to prepare for the impacts of climate change.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) requests interested entities to submit restoration, research and Regional Project proposals for the restoration of the Great Lakes Basin fish and wildlife resources, as authorized under the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act (16 USC 941c). The purpose of the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act (GLFWRA) is to provide assistance to States, Indian Tribes, and other interested entities to encourage cooperative conservation, restoration and management of the fish and wildlife resources and their habitats in the Great Lakes Basin. Regional Projects are authorized activities of the Service related to fish and wildlife resource protection, restoration, maintenance, and enhancement impacting the resources of multiple States or Indian Tribes with fish and wildlife management authority in the Great Lakes Basin. The Service will be responsible for accomplishing Regional Projects on behalf of the State and or Tribal agencies submitting the Regional Project proposal. Supported in part by President Obama&amp;apos;s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a total of approximately $2 million is projected to support projects this fiscal year. Available funding and project awards are subject to final Congressional appropriations for Fiscal Year 2015. Up to 33 percent of the total Congressional appropriation to the GLFWRA is eligible to fund Regional Projects. Restoration and research projects require a 25 percent non-federal match. Regional Projects selected shall be exempt from cost sharing if the Service&amp;apos;s Midwest Region Director determines that the authorization for the project does not require a non-Federal cost-share. The two page pre-proposal and Regional Project proposals are submitted to the Service for review. Successful restoration and research applicants are invited to submit full proposals, which are reviewed and ranked by the Proposal Review Committee. Successful restoration and research projects have ranged from $2,300 to $2,000,000 with the average project at $117,345.</Description>

        <Description>The Nation faces an increasing set of water resource challenges. Aging infrastructure, rapid population growth, depletion of groundwater resources, impaired water quality associated with particular land uses and land covers, water needed for human and environmental uses, and climate variability and change all play a role in determining the amount of fresh water available at any given place and time. Water shortages and water-use conflicts have become more commonplace in many areas of the United States, even in normal water years. As competition for water resources grows-for crop irrigation, growing cities and communities, energy production, and the environment-the need for information and tools to aid water resource managers also grows. Water issues and challenges are increasing across the Nation, but particularly in the West, due to prolonged drought.These water issues are exacerbating the challenges facing traditional water management approaches which by themselves no longer meet today&amp;apos;s needs. The U.S. Department of the Interior&amp;apos;s (Department) WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America&amp;apos;s Resources for Tomorrow) Program establishes a framework to provide Federal leadership and assistance on the efficient use of water, integrating water and energy policies to support the sustainable use of all natural resources, and coordinating the water conservation activities of various Department bureaus and offices. Through the WaterSMART Program, the Department is working to achieve a sustainable water management strategy to meet the Nation&amp;apos;s water needs.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications that propose to conduct mechanistic studies on the relationship between excessive alcohol drinking, alcohol dependence and pain. An association between chronic pain conditions and alcohol dependence has been revealed in numerous studies with episodes of alcohol abuse antedating chronic pain in some people and alcohol dependence emerging after the onset of chronic pain in others. Pain transmission and alcohols reinforcing effects share overlapping neural substrates giving rise to the possibility that chronic pain states significantly affect alcohol use patterns and promote the development of dependence and addiction. In addition, long term alcohol intoxication and alcohol dependence induce pain symptoms and may exacerbate chronic pain arising from other sources. The objective of this FOA is to understand genetic, pharmacological and learning mechanisms underlying the association between the propensity to drink excessively alcohol and pain responses.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of State&amp;apos;s Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO) is pleased to announce a Request for Applications (RFA) through an open competition for grant awards. CSO aims to mitigate the risk of large-scale violence in Burundi in the lead up to, during, and after the 2015 election period. This RFA includes three distinct lines of effort that address the risk of violence in Burundi by (1) engaging local youth leaders, particularly political party youth wings; (2) community stakeholders; and (3) regional and national political elites. Applicants may apply to one, two, or all three lines of effort and will not be evaluated on the number of lines of effort to which they apply. The selection and award process will occur independently for each line of effort. CSO expects to award a total of up to $2.4 million for three 12 to 18 month long projects. CSO seeks to fund organizations that are currently operational or have recent experience working in Burundi. Organizations should have strong existing relationships with relevant local partners, stakeholders, and administrators. Prior experience relevant to the themes illustrated in the programs outlined in this RFA will also be favorably considered.</Description>

        <Description>NOAA&amp;apos;s National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA/NMFS) is soliciting proposals for the FY 2015 NOAA&amp;apos;s Marine National Monument Program Grants Funding Opportunity. In 2009, three Marine National Monuments (MNMs) were designated by Presidential Proclamation to protect the relatively undisturbed marine ecosystems that are flourishing with healthy coral reefs, large numbers of apex predators, fish biomass, and seabirds. Management plans for the Marianas Trench MNM, Rose Atoll MNM, and Pacific Remote Islands MNM are in preparation. These plans will guide management to preserve and protect the resources in these isolated locations. NOAA is soliciting proposals for projects to fulfill the objectives of the Proclamations and MNM management goals.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Network Development Planning Grant Program (&amp;#191;Network Planning&amp;#191;). The purpose of the Network Planning program is to assist in the development of an integrated healthcare network, if the network participants do not have a history of formal collaborative efforts. Health care networks can be an effective strategy to help smaller rural health care providers and health care service organizations align resources and strategies, achieve economies of scale and efficiency, and address challenges more effectively as a group than as single providers. The Network Planning program promotes the planning and development of healthcare networks in order to: (i) achieve efficiencies; (ii) expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of essential health care services; and (iii) strengthen the rural health care system as a whole. The health care system is undergoing a significant amount of change and this can be particularly challenging for small rural providers. The goals of the Network Planning program represent ways to help rural providers better serve their communities given changes taking place in health care, as providers move from focusing on the volume of services to focusing on the value of services. This program brings together key parts of a rural health care delivery system, particularly those entities that may not have collaborated in the past under a formal relationship, to work together to establish and improve local capacity and coordination of care. Furthermore, this program supports one year of planning with the primary goal of helping networks create a foundation for their infrastructure and focusing member efforts to address important regional or local community health needs.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate research addressing fundamental questions in basic neuroscience. Proposed projects can address any area of neuroscience within the missions of the participating institutes and should focus on understanding the structure and/or function of the normal nervous system. While fundamental basic research often generates insights relevant to disorders of the nervous system, this FOA is not intended to stimulate research that is explicitly disease-related.</Description>

        <Description>The OREI seeks to solve critical organic agriculture issues, priorities, or problems through the integration of research and extension activities. The purpose of this program is to fund projects that will enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards to grow and market high quality organic agricultural products. Priority concerns include biological, physical, and social sciences, including economics. The OREI is particularly interested in projects that emphasize research and outreach that assist farmers and ranchers with whole farm planning. Projects should plan to deliver applied production information to producers. Fieldwork must be done on certified organic land or on land in transition to organic certification, as appropriate to project goals and objectives. </Description>

        <Description>The objective of this Task Agreement is to produce and distribute an American Sign Language video translation of the Alcatraz Cell House Audio Tour, which is circulated on handheld video players. Approximately 1.6 million visitors travel to Alcatraz Island every year with a vast majority of them using the Cell House Audio Tour. In 2013, the GGNRA Accessibility Coordinator accommodated over 60 requests for an American Sign Language translator. Furthermore, those that require a translator must do so online, five days in advance. This Task Agreement will better serve the public by allowing those who require such a service to navigate independently and without the inconvenience of making advance reservations. The GGNPC has exclusive rights to distribute the Alcatraz Cell House Audio Tour for the NPS and owns the intellectual property of the content they provide for its production (script, interviews with former guards and inmates, etc.). Antenna International produces the Cell House Audio Tour as the sole provider under contract with the GGNPC and retains ownership of intellectual property for any components they provided to the production (music, sound effects, etc.). </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to participate as the Administrative Coordinating Center (ACC) for the NHLBI Cardiovascular Development Consortium (RFA-HL-15-013) and NHLBI Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium (RFA-HL-15-012). These consortia compose a NHLBI translational program in pediatric cardiovascular disease called the Bench to Bassinet Program (B2B). The B2B was launched by the NHLBI in 2009 as a novel approach to break through the major barriers of translational research, identify the causes of human congenital heart disease, and ultimately improve outcomes for individuals with congenital heart disease. The B2B strategy is to accelerate the translation of scientific discovery into clinical practice through collaborations of basic, translational, and clinical researchers. The consortia interact with each other, and with the NHLBI Pediatric Heart Network (PHN) to encourage translation of results from basic science to clinical research, and to provide clinical input on pressing needs for basic research.</Description>

        <Description>Within the MIECHV Research Program, funding is available in FY 2012 to support approximately two (2) extramural multi-year research projects. The MIECHV Research Program supports applied research relating to maternal, infant, and early childhood home visiting services which show promise of advancing knowledge about the implementation and effectiveness of home visiting programs designed to improve life outcomes among mothers, infants, and young children. Findings from the research supported by the MIECHV Research Program are expected to have potential for application in improving home visiting programs for mothers and children. The following legislative requirements apply to proposals submitted for the MIECHV Research Program: o The use of random assignment design is required to the maximum extent feasible; o Evaluation of a specific program or project shall be conducted by persons or individuals not directly involved in the operation of such program or project; o The conduct of research and evaluation activities shall include consultation with independent researchers, State officials, and developers and providers of home visiting programs on topics including research design and administrative data matching. Research proposals should address critical home visiting questions, with the following as examples: o Testing the effectiveness of approaches to the implementation of evidence-based home visiting programs within communities; o Testing the efficacy of enhancements to evidence-based home visiting programs, including but not limited to: culturally appropriate adaptations; enhancements to address intimate-partner violence, substance abuse, and maternal or paternal health and wellbeing; or enhancements related to improving the participant outcomes or benchmark domains specified in the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting legislation (i.e., (1) Improve maternal and newborn health; (2) Prevent child injuries, child abuse, neglect, or maltreatment, and reduce emergency department visits; (3) Improve school readiness and achievement; (4) Reduce crime or domestic violence; (5) Improve family economic self-sufficiency; and (6) Improve coordination and referrals for other community resources and supports); o Investigating mechanisms of change within program models or implementation systems in order to identify which program components work under which circumstances for which participants; o Creating and testing new measures of service availability, accessibility, and coordination at the community level or designing effective enhancements to support community coordination of services most relevant to home visiting, including early childhood education, early intervention, prenatal and adult health care, adult mental health care, child health care, infant mental health, substance abuse treatment, and services for victims of intimate partner violence; o Determining which program features are effective in improving participant recruitment/ retention, including father engagement; o Developing and testing approaches to screening children and families for variables highlighted as priority risk areas that can be used in conjunction with home visiting models; o Building and testing community-based partnerships that enhance a program&amp;apos;s responsiveness to community needs; o Creating and testing coordinated approaches that support healthy development by fostering collaborations across diverse agencies that serve mothers and young children, including but not limited to early childhood education settings, health care providers, and local programs; o Conducting cost-benefit analyses of home visiting programs, particularly using data for home visiting models at scale rather than using small-scale efficacy trial impacts; o Fostering workforce development, specifically: effective techniques for reflective supervision; effective methods of training and continuing education for home visitors; recruitment and retention of effective home visitors; effective support for home visitor mental health; and other relevant topics; o Assessing the effectiveness of initiatives or mechanisms to integrate home visiting programs in a geographic jurisdiction (e.g., creation of a centralized intake process or development of a system of universal screening and referral of mothers and infants); o Describing, assessing, or testing mechanisms of effective linkage between home visiting and early intervention programs (e.g., under Part C, Child Find) to improve early detection of developmental and other delays and appropriate intervention during early childhood within a community; o Developing and testing the successful integrative efforts of home visiting services with other early childhood programs (e.g., child care and education, medical homes, etc.) and identifying their key features at the state or community level; o Assessing the penetration in the home visiting field of standardized performance measures or indicators across benchmark areas, and the use of continuous quality improvement (CQI) principles, tools, and accepted practices at the program site and state levels based on those indicators; o Determining early childhood service infrastructure characteristics at the state or local level that best support effective home visiting service programs and positive outcomes for families; and o Conducting studies of innovative and effective approaches to implementing home visiting programs for families in rural areas and in Indian tribes. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Newborn Screening Technical Assistance and Data Repository Program. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide leadership on the implementation of state-based public health newborn screening and other genetics programs, as appropriate, through technical assistance, resource development, state education and training, policy initiatives, disorder surveillance, evidence-based data collection, evaluation, and collaborative efforts with stakeholders, including federal and non-federal partners. The goals of the program are to: 1) Develop and coordinate educational activities and information related to newborn screening that are responsive to information gaps identified by providers and public health professionals; 2) Incorporate health information technology to develop a National Newborn Screening Quality Measures Data Repository to standardize, maintain, and analyze quantitative quality measures information in order to monitor and evaluate the impact of state and territorial newborn screening programs and support short term monitoring of children with congenital conditions identified by newborn screening; 3) Support activities that will strengthen the integration of child health information systems, laboratory performance and quality assurance, short and long term newborn screening follow-up and public health interactions at the community, state, regional, and national levels; 4) Provide a forum for timely, interactive communication between key state and public health stakeholders in the areas of newborn screening; 5) Develop and implement an innovative national quality assurance/enhancement certification program, referred to as the &amp;quot;Newborn Screening Quality Certification,&amp;quot; for state newborn screening systems in conjunction with HRSA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL); 6) Support training opportunities for public health practitioners in the areas of newborn screening; and 7) Coordinate and provide assistance to MCHB funded programs, including but not limited to the National Coordinating Center for the Regional Collaboratives, the Regional Genetic and Newborn Screening Service Collaboratives and the Clearinghouse of Newborn Screening Information. Form partnerships with various stakeholders including federal and non-federal organizations for innovative methods of data collection, quality improvement and educational outreach. Activities proposed are expected to support new and ongoing efforts at the state, regional, and national levels to increase awareness, knowledge, and understanding of newborn screening, to facilitate harmonization of newborn screening activities, and to improve the quality of newborn screening and related genetic services across the United States through innovation and technology. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage basic biologic research on damage to the peripheral nervous system instigated by pharmacologic cancer treatments, known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). The majority of acquired peripheral neuropathy research has focused on diabetic and inherited diseases; this FOA intends to stimulate neuroscience researchers to apply their expertise from studying these other neuropathies to the injuries incurred by cancer treatments. More data is necessary to understand the mechanisms of neuronal damage and to identify the targets instrumental to CIPN initiation and maintenance. Preclinical research that focuses not only on peripheral neuropathic pain but also on neurosensory symptoms such as paresthesias and peripheral anesthesias is invited. The ultimate goal of this FOA is to lead to a molecular understanding of CIPN that allows for the rational development of interventions that will treat or prevention CIPN. </Description>

        <Description>Understanding the dynamic activity of neural circuits is central to the NIH BRAIN Initiative. This FOA seeks applications for proof-of-concept testing and development of new technologies and novel approaches for large scale recording and manipulation of neural activity, to enable transformative understanding of dynamic signaling in the nervous system. In particular we seek exceptionally creative approaches to address major challenges associated with recording and manipulating neural activity, at or near cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and/or temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain. It is expected that the proposed research may be high risk, but if successful could profoundly change the course of neuroscience research. Proposed technologies should be compatible with experiments in behaving animals, and should include advancements that enable or reduce major barriers to hypothesis-driven experiments. Technologies may engage diverse types of signaling beyond neuronal electrical activity for large-scale analysis, and may utilize any modality such as optical, electrical, magnetic, acoustic or genetic recording/manipulation. Applications that seek to integrate multiple approaches are encouraged. Where appropriate, applications are expected to integrate appropriate domains of expertise, including biological, chemical and physical sciences, engineering, computational modeling and statistical analysis. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for a research project seeking to improve understanding of the food-web linkages between nearshore and offshore. This project is under the umbrella of the 2015 Coordinated Science and Monitoring Initiative that focuses on the Lake Michigan Ecosystem. The USGS design includes sampling eight nearshore-to-offshore transects, with water, plankton, benthos, and fish being sampled at 18, 46, and &amp;gt;100 m bottom depth at each transect. It also locates transects along a gradient of proximity to tributary inputs of phosphorus (from adjacent to high-loading tributaries, such as the St. Joseph River, to adjacent to no tributaries, such as offshore of Arcadia, Michigan). Sampling of transects will occur in spring, summer, and autumn. Two key research objectives include 1) How does nutrient availability change from nearshore to offshore and how is that availability influenced by proximity to tributary inputs?, 2) How well does productivity of phytoplankton within a given habitat correspond to productivity of zooplankton and fish?. Understanding the distribution and abundance of nutrients and biota (e.g., invertebrates, fish) across a nearshore to offshore gradient remains a key knowledge gap identified by the Lake Michigan LAMP and fishery management community. Increased understanding and knowledge of the Lake Michigan nearshore will facilitate the development of a Nearshore Strategy by the LAMP, which is called for in the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.</Description>

        <Description>Although invention and proof-of-concept testing of new technologies are key components of the BRAIN Initiative, to achieve their potential these technologies must also be optimized through feedback from end-users in the context of the intended experimental use. In this FOA we seek applications for the optimization of existing and emerging technologies and approaches that have potential to address major challenges associated with recording and manipulating neural activity, at or near cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain. This FOA is intended for the iterative refinement of emergent technologies and approaches that have already demonstrated their transformative potential through initial proof-of-concept testing, and are appropriate for accelerated development of hardware and software while scaling manufacturing techniques towards sustainable, broad dissemination and user-friendly incorporation into regular neuroscience practice. Proposed technologies should be compatible with experiments in behaving animals, and should include advancements that enable or reduce major barriers to hypothesis-driven experiments. Technologies may engage diverse types of signaling beyond neuronal electrical activity for large-scale analysis, and may utilize any modality such as optical, electrical, magnetic, acoustic or genetic recording/manipulation. Applications that seek to integrate multiple approaches are encouraged. Applications are expected to apply expertise that integrates appropriate domains of expertise, including where appropriate biological, chemical and physical sciences, engineering, computational modeling and statistical analysis. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to promote the integration of experimental, analytic, and theoretical capabilities for large-scale analysis of neural systems and circuits. This FOA seeks applications for exploratory research studies that use new and emerging methods for large scale recording and manipulation of neural circuits across multiple brain regions. Applications should propose to elucidate the contributions of dynamic circuit activity to a specific behavioral or neural system. Studies should incorporate rich information on cell-types, on circuit functionality and connectivity, and should be performed in conjunction with sophisticated analysis of complex, ethologically relevant behaviors. Applications should propose teams of investigators that seek to cross boundaries of interdisciplinary collaboration by bridging fields and linking theory and data analysis to experimental design. Exploratory studies supported by this FOA are intended to develop experimental capabilities and quantitative, theoretical frameworks in preparation for a future competition for large scale awards. </Description>

        <Description>The USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center, Gainesville, Florida is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research investigating: Monitoring of Faunal Communities of Biscayne Bay&amp;#191;s Rickenbacker Basin in Relation to Harbor Dredging in Port of Miami. The Port of Miami is being improved in order to capitalize on the increase in trade expected with the expansion of the Panama Canal. Improvements include dredging to widen and deepen major channels within Miami Harbor. Dredging commenced in November 2013 and is scheduled to continue for eighteen months. The modifications to the Port have the potential to impact over 400 acres of benthic habitat within Biscayne Bay, and the adjacent coastal area including: seagrass, hard bottom reef, rock rubble, and unvegetated sediments. Channel deepening and widening activities will be conducted within the Rickenbacker Basin of the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve. It is estimated that 0.2 acres of seagrass habitat within the existing channel and 7.7 acres of seagrass habitat outside of the existing channel will be impacted (USACE, 2011). Due to the sensitive nature of the benthic communities in this region, monitoring of those communities is warranted to determine what changes, if any, occur within the Basin, outside of the region of direct impact. The proposed project will assess changes in the monitored communicates, and to what extent, if any those changes are associated with the Port of Miami expansion activities. In addition, thirty reference sites located in North Biscayne Bay (Julia Tuttle Basin) will also be monitored to support statistical inferences drawn from the field observations. A long term dataset (2005-2011) collected in the region as part of the South Florida Seagrass Fish and Invertebrate Assessment Network (FIAN) project, (http://sofia.usgs.gov/projects/scopesofwork03/assessnetwk.html) will provide pre-impact baseline information needed to evaluate the impacts of dredging.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Western Geographic Science Center (WGSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support refinement of multi-temporal climate and vegetation monitoring techniques in the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin ecoregions. Long-term monitoring of intra-and-inter season vegetation is being conducted with MODIS and Landsat imagery by the U.S. Geological Survey, and project partners are focused on daily-to-monthly climate monitoring using PRISM, DAYMET, and NLDAS data. Linking monitoring efforts to establish relationships between vegetation and climate helps develop a better understanding of climatic forces and impacts, which may in turn, facilitate management of sensitive land cover types. Recent advances in raster processing, such as those provided in the Google Earth Engine environment, have the potential to increase the spatial and temporal extent of the study, enabling PIs to more efficiently evaluate climate-vegetation interrelationships across a greater geographic extent and over a longer period of time.</Description>

        <Description>This Administrative Supplement funding opportunity is part of the Common Fund Metabolomics Program created to increase and improve the nations ability to undertake metabolomics analyses in translational and clinical research. Metabolomics has great potential to advance our understanding of human diseases, but requires specialized expertise in metabolomics study design, technology, and data analysis and interpretation. This FOA supports supplemental funds to current NIH-funded research projects for new interactive collaborations between basic or clinical researchers and metabolomics experts to add a metabolomics approach to the existing Research Strategy for the project. In addition to enhancing the parent grant by adding metabolomics analyses, collaborative projects must include activities to increase the expertise of the biomedical research group in key aspects of metabolomics study design, analysis, and data interpretation. All applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss potential requests with the awarding IC and with the Common Fund Metabolomics Scientific/Research contact listed below. </Description>

        <Description>DOE seeks input from the public on its plan to transition its stewardship of NTER potentially beginning in spring 2015. Since the platform was deployed in June 2012, DOE has served as the central developer and administrator of its community, providing maintenance and technical assistance (e.g. help desk) to end users. As an open source training platform, NTER is available for any entitys use in creating its own node and registry. DOE would like to transition the administration of the NTER system to an entity that will further develop its capability and expand its use through marketing and branding. DOE has a mission is to ensure Americas security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. Serving as the central administrator and core developer for NTER on a sustained basis is not within DOEs core mission. DOEs intent has been to transfer stewardship of the platform to an entity within the open source community in order to maximize market adoption while fostering open source, shared learning environments. It is envisioned that one or more non-governmental entities with expertise in open source development of educational content creation and sharing will be most qualified to take over this well-developed product and its customer base. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks input from those entities interested in taking over NTER as well as from impacted parties. DISCLAIMER AND IMPORTANT NOTES: The purpose of this RFI is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This RFI is not a FOA, therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. All responses to this RFI must be provided as an attachment (in Microsoft Word format) to an e-mail message addressed to NTER-RFI@ee.doe.gov no later than 8:00 p.m. (ET) on December 3, 2014. The full content of the announcement can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. EERE may issue a FOA in the future based on or related to the content and responses to this RFI, however, EERE may also elect not to issue a FOA. There is no guarantee that a FOA will be issued as a result of this RFI. Responding to this RFI does not provide any advantage or disadvantage to potential applicants if EERE chooses to issue a FOA regarding the subject matter. Final details, including the anticipated award size, quantity, and timing of EERE-funded awards, will be subject to congressional appropriations and direction. Any information obtained as a result of this RFI is intended to be used by the government on a non-attribution basis for planning and strategy development; this RFI does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals or abstracts. Responses to this notice will be treated as information only. EERE will review and consider all responses in its formulation of program strategies for the identified materials of interest that are the subject of this request. EERE will not reimburse costs incurred in responding to this RFI. Respondents are advised that EERE is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted under this RFI. Responses to this RFI do not bind EERE to any further actions related to this topic.</Description>

        <Description>NEH&amp;#146;s Division of Public Programs supports activities that engage millions of Americans in understanding significant humanities works and ideas. At the center of every NEH-funded public humanities project is a core set of humanities ideas developed by scholars, matched to imaginative formats that bring those ideas to life for people of all ages and all walks of life. Projects must be analytical and deeply grounded in humanities scholarship in a discipline such as history, religion, anthropology, jurisprudence, or art history. NEH is a national funding agency, so the projects we support must demonstrate the potential to attract a broad, general audience. We welcome humanities projects tailored to particular groups, such as families, youth (including K-12 students), teachers, seniors, at-risk communities, and veterans, but they should also strive to cultivate a more inclusive audience. Media Projects grants support the following formats: &amp;#149; film and television projects; and &amp;#149; radio projects. Film and television projects may be single programs or a series addressing significant figures, events, or ideas. Programs must be intended for national distribution. The Division of Public Programs welcomes projects ranging in length from short-form to broadcast-length video. Radio projects may involve single programs, limited series, or segments within an ongoing program. They may also develop new humanities content to augment existing radio programming or add greater historical background or humanities analysis to the subjects of existing programs. They may be intended for regional or national distribution.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) Quantum Program is to achieve a profound (quantum) advance over present-day approaches to the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and/or treatment of a major disease or national public health problem primarily through the development of biomedical engineering/biomedical imaging technologies. In order to realize a profound advance against a major disease or national public health problem, this announcement supports research to develop and prepare a target technology for clinical efficacy at the completion of Quantum funding (which may include up to two competitive renewals). The NIBIB mission is to improve human health by leading the development and acceleration of the application of biomedical technologies. Major biomedical technologies, emerging from the interface of the engineering, physical, and life sciences such as MR imaging, endoscopic devices for minimally invasive surgery, the cochlear implant, and the pacemaker have had a profound impact on human health and quality of life. In many cases, realization of a quantum impact from a new biomedical technology can only be achieved if the needed intellectual and financial resources are focused on a specific targeted project in a concerted fashion. The NIBIB Quantum Program is intended to support development of biomedical technologies that will result in a profound paradigm shift in prevention, detection, diagnosis, and/ or treatment of a major disease or national public health problem. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications for Biomarker Developmental Laboratories (BDLs), one of the four scientific units of the Early Detection Research Network (EDRN). The EDRN is a national infrastructure funded to discover, develop, and validate biomarkers for risk assessment, detection, and molecular diagnosis and prognosis of early cancer. The proposed BDLs will be responsible for the discovery, development, characterization, and testing of new, or the refinement of existing, biomarkers and biomarker assays for risk assessment, detection, and molecular diagnosis and prognosis of early cancer. The other three scientific units of the continuing EDRN program are: the Biomarker Reference Laboratories (BRLs), which will serve as Network resources for clinical and laboratory validation of biomarkers; the Clinical Validation Centers (CVCs), which will conduct clinical research on the validation of biomarkers and will serve as resource centers for the EDRN by participating in collaborative biomarker validation studies with EDRN BDLs and BRLs; and the Data Management and Coordinating Center (DMCC), which will support statistical and computational analyses, informatics infrastructure, study design, coordination and support of EDRN-sponsored biomarker validation studies, and the coordination of Network-wide meetings and conferences. </Description>

        <Description>Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or project requirements. The period of performance for an award is up to 5 years. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Prospective proposers are requested to submit any questions in writing to NASAMIRO@nasaprs.com no later than 10 business days before the proposal due date so that NASA will be able to respond. Every effort will be made to answer any questions received after that date, but there is no guarantee that an answer will be provided. Only Minority Serving Universities that are legally recognized by the Department of Education are eligible to apply for this NASA Research Announcement (NRA). No later than the due date for proposals, proposers to this NRA are required to have: 1) a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, 2) a valid registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) [formerly known as the Central Contractor Registry (CCR)], 3) a valid Commercial And Government Entity (CAGE) Code, 4) a valid registration with NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) (this also applies to any entities proposed for subawards or subcontracts.) Consult Appendix H Section H.2.1 regarding teaming requirements and partnership guidelines. The mission of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of Education is to advance high quality Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education across the United States. To maximize these efforts, NASA has consolidated its education activities into the Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP). MUREP supports training and development of students and faculty in STEM at targeted colleges and universities, and provides opportunities for research and education that attract and prepare increasing numbers of students for STEM careers. As an integral part of this mission, the MUREP Institutional Research Opportunity (MIRO), previously University Research Centers (URC) is being established to strengthen and develop the research capacity and infrastructure of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in areas of strategic importance and value to NASA&amp;#146;s mission and national priorities. Overall, MIRO awards aim to promote STEM lit eracy and to enhance and sustain the capability of institutions to perform NASA-related research and education, which directly supports NASA&amp;#146;s four Mission Directorates &amp;#150; Aeronautics Research, Human Exploration and Space Operations, Science, and Space Technology. The specific goals of MIRO awards are to: 1) Expand the nation&amp;apos;s base for aerospace research and development by fostering new aerospace research and technology development concepts; 2) Develop mechanisms for increased participation by faculty and students at MSIs in the research programs of NASA&amp;#146;s Mission Directorates; 3) Increase the number of undergraduate and graduate degrees awarded to students from MSIs in NASA-related fields. Grantee institutions have the responsibility for budgeting and documenting compliance with Code of Federal Regulations, 14 CFR&amp;#167;1230, commonly referred to as &amp;#147;the Common Rule for the Protection of Human Subjects.&amp;#148; Research to develop NASA-themed exhibits, programs, curriculum products, etc., may involve full human subjects review through an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or it may be exempt. An IRB also certifies when research is exempt. Explanation of Other Category of Funding Activity &amp;#150; MIRO may be categorized as both Science and Technology and other Research and Development (ST) and Education funded activity. Every institution that intends to submit a proposal to this NRA, including the proposed prime award or any partner whether an informal education institution, other non-profit institutions, state and local Government agencies, and other organizations that will serve as subawardees or contractors, must be registered in NSPIRES. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the due date and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered 1) with Grants.gov and 2) with NSPIRES. Additional programmatic information for this NRA may develop before the proposal due date. If so, such information will be added as a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) or formal amendment to this NRA and posted on http://nspires.nasaprs.com . It is the proposer&amp;#146;s responsibility to regularly check NSPIRES for updates to this NRA. </Description>

        <Description>The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project (NGWSP), upon its completion, will provide a reliable municipal, industrial, and domestic water supply to; Navajo Nation communities located in New Mexico, the City of Gallup located in New Mexico, Window Rock and Fort Defiance Arizona, the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry, and a portion of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. These areas currently rely on a rapidly depleting groundwater supply that is of poor quality and inadequate to meet the current and future needs. The Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Commissioner of Reclamation is authorized to design, construct, operate and maintain NGWSP facilities that include service connections to public water systems. As such, the July 2009 NGWSP Planning Report/Final Environmental Impact Statement (PR/FEIS) described large water tanks near the trunkline with booster stations that were designated as turnouts for the connections to public water systems to provide water to communities to be serviced by the main trunkline. The Construction Cost Estimate (CCE) included the costs for the tanks and booster stations associated with these turnouts, but no connection to existing public water systems. The Navajo Nation Department of Water Resources (NNDWR) has worked with the members of the NGWSP Project Construction Committee (PCC) to develop a prioritized connection plan list. These proposed connection plans are different than the connection concepts in the PR/FEIS in that the connection plans are based on conveying water from the main NGWSP trunkline to the supply points of the closest Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) public water systems. While the connections to existing and future water distribution systems have been termed the lifeblood of the NGWSP, as the designs and estimates for NGWSP features continue to be refined and updated, it is uncertain whether room exists within the CCE to design and construct all of these connection plans. Given the importance of the connection plans coupled with the uncertainties surrounding NGWSP funding of these plans, the Navajo Nation and Reclamation have determined that it is in the best interest of the NGWSP to complete Preliminary Engineering Reports (PERs), as described in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Bulletin 1780-2, on the highest priority connection plans. A PER is a planning document required by many state and federal agencies as part of the process of obtaining financial assistance for development of drinking water, wastewater, solid waste, and stormwater projects. An applicant for funding from the Waste and Water Disposal (WWD) program must submit a PER as required by 7 CFR 1780.33(c) and 1780.55. The PER describes the proposed project from an engineering perspective, analyzes alternatives to the proposal, defines project costs, and provides information critical to the underwriting process. The connection plans were priority ranked and selected based on the number of water haulers, the percent of water haulers in the communities, the shortage of groundwater, the cost per acre-foot of water delivered, and construction sequencing. The PERs would result in much more reliable estimates of the total connection costs, and would be used to leverage funds from other programs for design and construction.</Description>

        <Description>Stem cell technology holds the promise of providing a nearly limitless source of safe, immune-matched cells for clinical use. One of the first areas where this promise can be realized is through cell products that lack a nucleus and thus face fewer regulatory hurdles, such as red blood cells and platelets. Considerable progress has been made but scientific questions remain and improved tools to enhance the production are required if translation to clinical use is to be achieved. To this end, this FOA will support research addressing remaining scientific questions to enable and accelerate the use of stem cell-derived blood products as therapeutics. While production of sufficient numbers of cells such as platelets and red cells has been demonstrated using cellular engineering methods, basic research questions related to cell differentiation and maturation remain, which if elucidated, may allow for the development of new ways to efficiently produce clinically-useful stem cell-derived platelets or red blood cells. In addition to this FOA, two companion FOAs (RFA-HL-15-029 and RFA-HL-15-030) will support small business research to develop improved techniques and tools to enhance the production of clinically-relevant, functional stem cell-derived red blood cells or platelets in a more efficient and cost-effective manner.</Description>

        <Description>The National Park Service (NPS) Niobrara National Scenic River (NSR) in Valentine, Nebraska, requests assistance creating, editing and producing digital media (photo, audio, video with closed captioning, content for park web site) as well as providing informal interpretation for river visitors from a solo canoe or kayak or by land at partner sites. The work will be both in an indoor office setting, working with computers and digital media equipment, as well as outdoors, where exposure to river, weather, insect, and other hazards is possible. The positions will be supervised by the Chief of Interpretation &amp;amp; Education at Niobrara NSR. The NPS seeks an organizational partner who can provide individual interns with advanced experience in digital media production (photo, audio, video, editing and/or authoring web content) as well as oral communication and customer service skills. Interns must provide their own transportation as the housing provided is 5 miles from the duty station and no public transportation is available. The NPS will provide the interns with safety and orientation training, educational experiences, and project leadership for these positions. The organizational partner will not be required to train or supervise the interns. The long-term goals of the project are: 1) Engage new audiences for Niobrara NSR via social media in relevant ways using digital media. 2) Improve the relevance, usability, and visibility of the Niobrara NSR web presence for all audiences. 3) Offer engaging opportunities for youth to have a work/learning experience with the NPS Please refer to the full opportunity details attached to the synopsis of this announcement. </Description>

Additionally steps will be developed to write an educational curriculum, develop a marketing plan and other such products that will ensure the successful execution of the program. The YMCA of the USA is the national resource office that provides programmatic support for 2,700 semi-independent local YMCA chapters. This organization through its&amp;#191; network of local chapters serves 22 million men, women and children throughout the United States through programs and services in youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The NPS has served as a key partner in the YMCA&amp;#191;s health and well-being work, including &amp;#191;Activate America&amp;#191;, a bold pan to retool the YMCA&amp;#191;s around the country to confront the nation&amp;#191;s rising rates of chronic diseases and has support the YMCA Healthy Kids Day Program. The YMCA has a network of 1,800 day camps and over 300 resident camps that serve more than 1.3 million children and youth. Additionally 80% of US households are within 5 miles of a YMCA chapter. There is no other youth serving non-profit organization in the United States that has been in continued existence since the mid-19th century with the size and scope performing youth development work at this level of complexity. Additionally the YMCA is the only organization in the United States capable of incorporating a formal day camp program model that targets large numbers of children nationally to collaborate with the NPS recreation, education, volunteer and employment programs. STATUTORY AUTHORITY 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1g authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements that involve the transfer of NPS appropriated funds to state, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1f, Challenge-Cost Share authority, authorizes the NPS to enter into agreements with cooperators for the purpose of sharing costs or services in carrying out authorized functions and responsibilities of the Secretary with respect to any unit or program of the national park system, any affiliated area, or any designated National Scenic or Historic Trail. This authority allows the agency to negotiate and enter into cooperative agreements with any State or local Government, public or private agency, organization, institution, corporation, individual, or other entity. A cooperative agreement may be utilized if there is substantial involvement in the project on the part of the NPS. This section principally gives authority for joint-funding arrangements entered into with non-federal partners (&amp;#191;cooperators&amp;#191;), although it also addresses &amp;#191;sharing&amp;#191;services in carrying out authorized functions and responsibilities&amp;#191;&amp;#191;As with 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1g, this authority must also be read in conjunction with the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977 and other authorities to ensure that a Challenge Cost-Share agreement is not used when a procurement contract would be most appropriate. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1723(c), Public Lands Corps, authorizes the Secretary to enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with any qualified youth or conservation corps to perform appropriate conservation projects referred to in subsection (d) of section 1723. The Secretary may also authorize appropriate conservation projects and other appropriate projects to be carried out on Federal, State, local, or private lands as part of disaster prevention or relief efforts in response to an emergency or major disaster declared by the President under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). </Description>

        <Description>NOAA&amp;apos;s Office of Ocean Exploration &amp;amp; Research (OER) seeks to enhance ocean exploration and scientific knowledge in the Arctic by encouraging use of the rich Arctic data set collected since 2003 in support of the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) Project http://continentalshelf.gov/. OER challenges applicants to propose multi-partner interdisciplinary exploration projects that will capitalize and build on these Arctic ECS data, and target the mapped areas in new ways, using innovative technologies to inform some of NOAA&amp;apos;s most pressing Arctic marine science needs, and stewardship responsibilities, pursuant to NOAA&amp;apos;s Arctic Vision and Strategy http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/docs/NOAAArctic_V_S_2011.pdf. The applicants&amp;apos; proposed projects should focus on one or more of the areas of the Arctic where ECS data have been collected; and use these data as the foundation from which to launch additional explorations to identify, describe and create baseline characterizations of new habitats, marine resources and/or phenomena. OER is seeking pre-proposals and, ultimately, full proposals to support its exploration mission, consistent with NOAA&amp;apos;s Next Generation Strategic Plan (http://www.ppi.noaa.gov/ngsp/), to search, investigate, and document poorly known and unknown ocean areas through interdisciplinary exploration, and to advance and disseminate knowledge of the ocean environment and its physical, chemical, archaeological, and biological resources. Results will inform marine policy and marine resource management decisions. Proposals must address one or more NOAA&amp;apos;s mission goals (e.g., Healthy Oceans, Climate Adaptation and Mitigation, Resilient Coastal Communities and Economies, NOAA&amp;apos;s Science and Technology Enterprise). Findings from these investigations are anticipated to result in new baseline characterizations, provide better scientific understanding of the processes on our continental margins, offer new insights into climate variability, marine ecosystems, previously unknown or unconventional energy sources, mineral resources, hazards resulting from extreme events such as earthquakes and tsunamis, and deliver technology advancements (platforms, sensors, methodologies, etc.) that will increase observational capability in the Arctic. OER is soliciting proposals that will bring together scientists from different disciplines to use innovative techniques (where feasible) to investigate unexplored and/or poorly known ocean areas and reveal new understandings and interpretations about our marine environment. Competitive proposals must be bold, innovative and interdisciplinary in their approach. It is expected that the results of funded proposals will stimulate further exploration and research, as well as inform marine policy and marine resource management decisions. Through this announcement, NOAA OER anticipates the availability of a total of approximately $3,000,000 including costs for ship and submersible assets. To familiarize themselves with past and present OER-funded activities, applicants are encouraged to visit the program&amp;apos;s website http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov. Background on how to apply and the required proposal coversheets are accessible through the OER Office Website at: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/about/what-we-do/funding-opportunities.html. </Description>

        <Description>This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to the Ocean County College in Toms River, NJ. This announcement is for notification purposes only. This award is issued to provide financial assistance to collaboratively developed priority projects in Hurricane Sandy disaster areas that will restore environmental resources and improve resiliency. The intent of the award is to provide a quantitative assessment of fish spawning passage before and after the removal of an obstruction in a coastal stream at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. Westecunk Creek, which is part of the Barnegat Bay, an estuary of national significance, provides upstream spawning, nursery, and maturation habitat for federal trust species such as river herring and American eel (Anguilla rostrate). The lowest barrier on Westecunk Creek is currently slated for removal during the summer of 2015. Pre- and post-restoration biological monitoring by Ocean County College will target anadromous river herring, including alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) and blueback (Alosa aestivalis). This project was previously vetted and approved for funding by the Department of the Interior. The appropriation for this project is the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2. Criteria for funding was based on the project&amp;#191;s ability to yield the greatest return on investment by taking advantage of existing science and regional planning tools for resiliency and by working with states, cities, communities, and partners who contribute to the goals of restoring and rebuilding national wildlife refuges and other federal public assets to increase resiliency and the capacity of coastal habitat and infrastructure to withstand future storms and to minimize the damage incurred. The proposed project will provide data on the presence and passage ability of anadromous fishes in a coastal stream, before and after the removal of an obstruction. Monitoring fish passage will provide important feedback on the success of habitat restoration activities for federal trust species. This project is authorized by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), located within the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for applications that support civil society organizations (CSOs) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to effectively advocate for causes that build more pluralistic, participatory, and prosperous societies. In the wake of the Arab Spring, MEPI seeks to fund projects that will support civil society&amp;#146;s advocacy efforts across the region, responding to citizens&amp;#146; demands for change and reform and for holding their governments accountable. Applications should focus in the following areas:&amp;#149; Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, and Syria: Proposed projects should assist activists and organizations to advocate more effectively, with intent to improve political freedoms, effect legislative change, and ensure the implementation of promised reforms and legislation. &amp;#149; Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen: Proposed projects should help amplify the voice of civil society in political transition processes, specifically assisting CSOs to fulfill their role of channeling citizens&amp;#146; demands for change into government decisions and new laws and constitutions, where applicable. &amp;#149; Algeria, Oman, Qatar, and UAE: Proposed projects should address gaps in advocacy skills for nascent or moderately experienced civil society organizations to become more effective voices for the populace.Applications should assist CSOs in the design, development, and implementation of effective, issue-based advocacy campaigns that enable them to better respond to government or other decision-makers with persuasive arguments and successful reform strategies. Proposed activities should engage participants in the application of practical skills rather than provide general training directed toward basic organizational capacity. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consider the provision of sub-awards to community activists or organizations, which will be selected in consultation with U.S. Embassies. Proposed projects should also consider motivating organizations to work collectively on public policy issues in order to make a greater impact, as well as to improve the public&amp;#146;s understanding of and confidence in civil society&amp;#146;s important role in policy development. We strongly encourage applications from experienced CSOs in the MENA region. International partners (non-governmental organizations with principal bases of operations outside the Middle East and North Africa) are also encouraged to apply, but the percentage of total budget actually spent in the region through local partners will be among the elements of evaluation for this competition. All applicants should demonstrate the experience and capacity to work with local CSOs and activists in the MENA region. In all projects, local ownership of activities is essential and should include youth and/or women as organizers and participants. Proposed projects may support one or more organizations, working on one or more advocacy campaigns, in a single country or across multiple countries to foster networks and to leverage different experiences and lessons learned. In addition, applicants may submit more than one application. Proposed projects should not already be addressed by current donor funding. Please Note: Applications that support CSO advocacy in countries other than those discussed above will not be considered. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Research Conference Grant (R13) applications to conduct health disparities-related meetings, workshops, and symposia. The purpose of the Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series is to bring together academic institutions and community organizations to identify opportunities for reducing health disparities through the use of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR). The objectives of meetings conducted as part of this award will be to: (1) establish and/or enhance existing academic-community partnerships; (2) identify community-driven research priorities; and (3) develop long-term collaborative CBPR research agendas. Thus, it is expected these partnerships will lead to grant applications for the support of CBPR projects designed to meet identified community needs. The areas of focus for these partnerships may include one or more of the following community-health issues: preterm birth; infant mortality; sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS); maternal mortality; reproductive health; uterine fibroid tumors; childhood, adolescent, and/or adult obesity; violence prevention; perinatal HBV and HIV/AIDS prevention; HIV/AIDS prevention; asthma; intellectual and developmental disabilities; pediatric injury prevention; and medical rehabilitation. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), invests in high-risk, high-value research, development and deployment in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. EERE, through the Building Technologies Office (BTO) is issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001117, entitled ?Building America Industry Partnerships for High Performance Housing Innovations?. The FOA seeks to develop technologies, techniques, and tools for making buildings more energy efficient, productive, and affordable. BTO&amp;apos;s strategic goal is to significantly improve the energy efficiency of new and existing buildings to reduce national energy demand and allow the nation to work toward greater energy independence and a cleaner environment. With this FOA, EERE anticipates selecting and funding 1 to 4 building science teams in 2015 for the Building America Research Program. Selected teams will conduct applied Research and Development (R&amp;amp;D) in real world houses, develop and implement solutions to three inter-related core technical challenges which are necessary to meet the program goals for both new and existing homes. Core technical challenges include: A) high performance, low risk building envelope assemblies and systems to achieve low heating and cooling loads; B) optimal comfort systems (HVAC and distribution) for low-load homes; and C) high performance ventilation systems and indoor air quality strategies for low-load homes The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website.

        <Description>Health centers improve the health of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services. Health Center Program grants support a variety of community-based and patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that serve an increasing number of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved. Individually, each health center plays an important role in the goal of ensuring access to services, and combined, they have had a critical impact on the health care status of medically underserved and vulnerable populations throughout the United States and its territories. The Health Center Program targets the Nation&amp;#191;s neediest populations and geographic areas by currently funding approximately 1,300 health centers that operate over 9,000 service delivery sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In 2013, more than 21 million patients, including medically underserved and uninsured patients, received comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services through the Health Center Program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Health Center Program&amp;#191;s Service Area Competition &amp;#191; Additional Area (SAC-AA). The FOA details the SAC-AA eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations seeking a grant for operational support of an announced service area under the Health Center Program, including Community Health Center (CHC &amp;#191; section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC &amp;#191; section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH &amp;#191; section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC &amp;#191; section 330(i)). For the purposes of this document, the term &amp;#191;health center&amp;#191; refers to the diverse types of health centers (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and /or PHPC) supported under section 330 of the PHS Act, as amended.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications for support of preclinical evaluation, planning for and conduct of proof-of-concept clinical studies for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) treatment that will be applicable in the context of HIV co-infection using host-directed agents already approved for clinical use or in late-stage clinical trials for other conditions. Host-directed therapies (HDT) for TB that may also have activity against HIV, either directly or by enhancing immunologic reactions, are of particular interest. Funds from the NIH will be made available through the UH2/UH3 cooperative agreement award mechanism. The initial UH2 award (up to two years) will support the development of critical preclinical data, development of study partnerships, and development of the proof-of-concept (POC) trial protocol and all supporting plans and documentation. Once UH2 pre-clinical and clinical milestones have been met, the UH3 award (up to 3 years) may be made to support the planned POC clinical trial. </Description>

        <Description> NEH&amp;#191;s Division of Public Programs supports activities that engage millions of Americans in understanding significant humanities works and ideas. At the center of every NEH-funded public humanities project is a core set of humanities ideas developed by scholars, matched to imaginative formats that bring those ideas to life for people of all ages and all walks of life. Projects must be analytical and deeply grounded in humanities scholarship in a discipline such as history, religion, anthropology, jurisprudence, or art history. NEH is a national funding agency, so the projects we support must demonstrate the potential to attract a broad, general audience. We welcome humanities projects tailored to particular groups, such as families, youth (including K-12 students), teachers, seniors, at-risk communities, and veterans, but they should also strive to cultivate a more inclusive audience. Museums, Libraries, and Cultural Organizations grants provide support for museums, libraries, historic places, and other organizations that produce public programs in the humanities. Planning grants support the following formats: &amp;#191; exhibitions at museums, libraries, and other venues; &amp;#191; interpretations of historic places, sites, or regions; and &amp;#191; book/film discussion programs; living history presentations; and other face-to-face programs at libraries, community centers, and other public venues. Implementation grants support the following formats: &amp;#191; exhibitions at museums, libraries, and other venues; &amp;#191; interpretations of historic places, sites, or regions; &amp;#191; book/film discussion programs; living history presentations; other face-to-face programs at libraries, community centers, and other public venues; and &amp;#191; interpretive websites, mobile applications, games, and other digital formats. Types of Museums, Libraries, and Cultural Organizations awards Planning grants support the early stages of project development, including consultation with scholars, refinement of humanities themes, preliminary design, testing, and audience evaluation. Implementation grants support final scholarly research and consultation, design development, production, and installation of a project for presentation to the public. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the APS is to publicize the United States Government&amp;apos;s (USG) plan to fund one award through USAID/Washington&amp;apos;s Office of Population and Reproductive Health (PRH) to support a broad range of social science and behavioral research and technical assistance on a focused set of family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) issues. The objective of the APS is described below. Funds may support activities that develop and test scalable interventions to achieve social and normative change for FP/RH outcomes; build on existing activities to test evidence-based practices/interventions in new settings; provide technical assistance for replication and scale up of successful interventions; and monitor and evaluate the impact and sustainability of scale up of evidence-based interventions, including evaluation of current or previous activities funded by USAID or other donors. The award under this APS will contribute to PRH&amp;apos;s strategic objective of advancing and supporting FP/RH programs worldwide and health objectives of reducing unintended pregnancies, abortion, and improving maternal and child health. This APS will address two cross-cutting issues for PRH, gender and youth, which are also Agency-wide focal areas as highlighted in USAID&amp;#146;s Youth in Development Policy and Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Policy. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) will fund a cooperative agreement to support a Rural Assistance Center (RAC). The RAC is a gateway to information on rural health for residents in rural areas of the United States and for all others interested in the issue. Through daily interactions and responding to inquiries and concerns, the RAC will be able to ensure that ORHP and the Department of Health and Human Services are informed of developing and ongoing grass-roots issues in the rural U.S. The role of ORHP as the Department of Health and Human Service&amp;#191;s focal point for rural information allows its staff to identify key regulatory and statutory issues. The staff of ORHP will work collaboratively with the RAC to prioritize key issues and develop information resources to share with callers and web users. It is also expected that RAC staff will produce publications to respond to emerging issues. ORHP and Department staff will review RAC proposals for publications to ensure that critical issues are appropriately identified. When publications are prepared for release, ORHP and Department staff will review them for accuracy and completeness. The awardee must be able to identify and facilitate access to information from a wide range of sources that deal with aspects of rural health care. ORHP will also coordinate information sharing between the RAC and the Rural Health Research Centers, the Rural Recruitment and Retention Network, State Offices of Rural Health, and other projects that are funded by the Office. RAC staff will work with ORHP to develop strategies for dissemination of key research findings and for providing synthesis of key research findings. The applicant should be familiar with providers of Technical Assistance (TA) for rural health care providers funded by ORHP and be able to make referrals, avoid duplication of services, and ensure that rural residents are directed to appropriate resources for their information needs. The awardee will provide support to the &amp;#191;Improve Rural Health Care&amp;#191; Initiative, originally announced in the President&amp;#191;s 2010 budget. The initiative seeks to strengthen partnerships among rural health care providers, recruit and retain rural health care professionals, and modernize the health care infrastructure in rural areas. Another key part of the Initiative will involve focusing ORHP&amp;#191;s grant programs on building an evidence base for successful health care models in rural communities. ORHP has developed an extensive evaluation and performance measurement focus within its community-based grant programs. The awardee will play a key role in broadly disseminating these promising practices from rural communities. The intent is to support rural community health improvement nationally and to build an ongoing evidence base for successful rural health interventions and projects.</Description>

        <Description>USAID/Madagascar is seeking comments on the Concept Paper for a new Environment and Biodiversity project in Madagascar. The Mission would like to acquire additional technical insight of our geographic and technical focus and further hone the focus / refine the scope as necessary. We are particularly interested in your feedback to answer the following questions (general remarks are also welcome): &amp;#149; Are the geographic areas of focus filling the existing gap and strategically aligned with the general donor and stakeholder activity in Madagascar? Within the priority areas identified in the Concept Paper, how could USAID funded activities most strategically align with or complement existing or new efforts supported by other donors? &amp;#149; Are there key components within these strategies which are particularly relevant given current threats? &amp;#149; Within the geographic regions identified, which biodiversity components might be given special consideration or could be considered at highest risk due to recent increases in threats or potential for irreversible loss? &amp;#149; Given limited budget and resources, are there any systematic or structural issues which are critical to address in the short term to address the priorities identified in the Concept Paper? This announcement is being published on www.grants.gov and www.fbo.gov. It does not constitute a solicitation, and the attached Concept Paper is neither a statement of work nor a program description; no decision on the implementation mechanism(s) has been made. This request in no way commits USAID to pay and cost incurred in the preparation and submission of a response hereto. The Mission will share any feedback received via an amendment to this announcement. Please provide your comments to antananarivoco@usaid.gov by COB December 1, 2014. Thank you for your cooperation! </Description>

        <Description>The objective of this APS is to make significant strides in the overall goal of conflict mitigation, peace, and reconciliation in selected eligible conflict-affected countries (see Attachment 1: List of Eligible Countries and Country-Specific Instructions). In addition, this APS seeks to contribute to USAID&amp;#146;s developmental objectives in an affected country or countries. &amp;#147;People-to-people&amp;#148; programs are one approach among many to conflict mitigation. While a diversity of programs and approaches may be considered people-to-people in nature, most entail bringing together representatives of conflict-affected groups to interact purposefully in a safe space. This type of work addresses divisions within a community that may be rooted in group differences such as ethnicity or religion, status, class, or political affiliation. People-to-people projects generally address patterns of prejudice and demonizing that reinforce the perceived differences between groups and hinder the development of relationships among parties to a conflict. The aim is to create opportunities for a series of interactions between conflicting groups in the community to promote mutual understanding, trust, empathy, and resilient social ties. This funding opportunity is intended to fund conflict mitigation programs with a people-to-people approach, and to derive lessons learned and best practices for future people-to-people programming. Lessons learned will be incorporated into future programs and funding opportunities, and will inform DCHA/CMM&amp;#146;s research agenda for conflict management and mitigation. DCHA/CMM is currently undertaking a global evaluation of grants implemented since 2004 under this APS. </Description>

        <Description>Based on the Department of Justice&amp;#146;s (DOJ) analysis of data compiled by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), approximately 200,000 adult prisoners and jail inmates suffered some form of sexual abuse while incarcerated during 20081 (see BJS, Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2008&amp;#150;09 (August 2010)).This suggests 4.4 percent of the prison population and 3.1 percent of the jail population within the United States suffered sexual abuse during that year. In some prisons, nearly 9 percent of the population reported abuse within that time; in some jails the corresponding rate approached 8 percent. In juvenile facilities, the numbers are similarly troubling. At least 17,100 adjudicated or committed youth (amounting to some 12 percent of the total population in juvenile detention facilities) reported having suffered sexual abuse within 12 months of arriving at their facility, with rates as high as 36 percent in specific facilities (see BJS, Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008&amp;#150;09 (January 2010), pages 1, 4).The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) (P.L. 108-79) requires the Attorney General to promulgate regulations that adopt national standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape. PREA established the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission (Commission) to carry out a comprehensive legal and factual study of the penological, physical, mental, medical, social, and economic impacts of prison rape in the United States, and to recommend national standards to the Attorney General and to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The Commission recommended four sets of national standards for eliminating prison rape and other forms of sexual abuse in a report available at cybercemetery.unt.edu/archive/nprec/20090820154845/http:/nprec.us/publication/standards/. Each set is applicable to one of the following four confinement settings: (1) adult prisons and jails; (2) juvenile facilities; (3) community corrections facilities; and (4) lockups (i.e., temporary holding facilities). The Commission recommended that its standards apply to federal, state, and local correctional and detention facilities (excluding facilities operated by the Department of Defense and the Bureau of Indian Affairs).Based on the Commission&amp;#146;s recommendations, DOJ published a proposed rule in 2011, and based on public comments, revisions were made as warranted, and the standards have been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget for final review. DOJ&amp;#146;s proposed rule can be found at: www.ojp.gov/programs/pdfs/prea_nprm.pdf. It is anticipated the final standards will published by late Spring 2012. The standards seek to prevent sexual abuse and to reduce theharm that it causes when it occurs and consist of 11 categories: prevention planning; responsive planning; training and education; screening for risk of sexual victimization and abusiveness; reporting; official response following an inmate report; investigations; discipline; medical and mental care; data collection and review; and audits.This program is funded under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (Pub. L.112-55). Demonstration projects funded through this solicitation will support comprehensive approaches within local adult and juvenile correctional facilities to prevent, detect, and respond to incidences of sexual victimization.</Description>

        <Description>The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) invites a limited competing renewal of a cooperative agreement application to evaluate the cumulative and progressive effects on the brain of combined HIV infection and alcohol abuse using advanced in vivo magnetic resonance imaging methods. The investigator will work collaboratively under the cooperative agreement with NIAAA over a five-year period to conduct investigations of the separate and interactive effects of chronic alcohol use and HIV infection on neurocognitive function and brain structural and functional integrity. The long-term goal is to elucidate in vivo markers of neuropathology underlying the cognitive and motor decline observed in heavy drinking HIV-infected individuals or improvement with sustained abstinence from alcohol and their interaction with HIV disease status. </Description>

        <Description>This Request for Applications (RFA) for Haiti, specifically, provides information on funding opportunities for multi-year, development food aid programs. Food security is the cornerstone of the Title II program because &amp;#147;&amp;#133;enhancing food security in the developing world through the use of agricultural commodities&amp;#133;&amp;#148; is a policy of the United States as stated in the Food for Peace Act, which authorizes Title II food aid. Thus, FFP&amp;#146;s goal for multi-year development programming is to reduce risks and vulnerabilities to food insecurity and increase food availability, access and utilization/consumption. Title II programs must target the vulnerability of food insecure individuals, households and communities directly. Note that assistance made available pursuant to this RFA may be used to meet emergency/exceptional circumstances as provided in accordance with the terms of those awards and 22 C.F. R. 211.5(o). In this past this had been capped at 10 percent, however, based on the use of trigger indicators, this level may be exceeded. As stated in the RFA, all comments and inquiries should be directed to Juli Majernik at jmajernik@usaid.gov with a copy to facg@amexdc2.com. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is part of a trans-NIH initiative known as Collaborative Research on Addiction at NIH (CRAN). Areas supported by this FOA include research to inform the generation and refinement of novel targets for substance abuse treatment and prevention interventions, modules or adjuncts to existing treatments and prevention interventions that seek to target and modulate behavioral or neurobehavioral processes (e.g., impulsivity, risk-taking propensity, sensation and novelty seeking, distress tolerance, delay discounting, self-regulation, stress reactivity) in adolescents. Additionally, this FOA will encourage studies to include theoretical links that explore the relationship(s) between neural circuitry and treatment and prevention effects, and in particular, how behavioral targets might be affected by treatment and prevention interventions, and how that might be used to improve targeted treatment and prevention development, that translate to reduced morbidity and mortality. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is to encourage applications that will develop and validate novel tools to facilitate the detailed analysis of complex circuits and provide insights into cellular interactions that underlie brain function. The new tools and technologies should inform and/or exploit cell-type and/or circuit-level specificity. Plans for validating the utility of the tool/technology will be an essential feature of a successful application. The development of new genetic and non-genetic tools for delivering genes, proteins and chemicals to cells of interest or approaches that are expected to target specific cell types and/or circuits in the nervous system with greater precision and sensitivity than currently established methods are encouraged. Tools that can be used in a number of species / model organisms rather than those restricted to a single species are highly desired. Applications that provide approaches that break through existing technical barriers to substantially improve current capabilities are highly encouraged.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications that propose basic, clinical, and epidemiological outcomes research on the impact of age on the development of, diagnosis, and management of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications in older persons or animal models. Research may focus on, but is not limited to 1) the epidemiology of increasing incidence and prevalence of DM with advancing age, particularly regarding potential racial-ethnic disparities, 2) the elucidation of age-related mechanisms predisposing older adults to diabetes and resultant CVD , 3) understanding the role of aging in increased incidence and severity of CVD outcomes in older diabetics, and 4) determining age-specific prevention, screening, diagnostic, and management strategies of DM in older persons and its CVD complications. Research supported by this initiative is expected to elucidate the role of aging mechanisms that underlie the increased vulnerability of older adults to DM and its CVD complications and to provide evidence-based guidance to improve more appropriate diagnostic criteria, risk stratification, and intervention recommendations to prevent the onset, or improve short- and long-term outcomes, of DM and CVD in older persons. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is part of a trans-NIH initiative known as Collaborative Research on Addiction at NIH (CRAN). Areas supported by this FOA include research to inform the generation and refinement of novel targets for substance abuse treatment and prevention interventions, modules or adjuncts to existing treatments and prevention interventions that seek to target and modulate behavioral or neurobehavioral processes (e.g., impulsivity, risk-taking propensity, sensation and novelty seeking, distress tolerance, delay discounting, self-regulation, stress reactivity) in adolescents. Additionally, this FOA will encourage studies to include theoretical links that explore the relationship(s) between neural circuitry and treatment and prevention effects, and in particular, how behavioral targets might be affected by treatment and prevention interventions, and how that might be used to improve targeted treatment and prevention intervention development, that translate to reduced morbidity and mortality.</Description>

        <Description>USAID/Indonesia is seeking inputs for designing a new stand-alone activity to support the delivery of multiple open innovation prize and challenge events across a broad range of development objectives. The mechanism, with an expected period of performance of five years, will provide a means of involvement and collaborative ideation by a wide spectrum of participants from higher education, civil society and the private sector around core development challenges faced by Indonesia. USAID wishes to harness the expertise, ingenuity, and creativity of problem solvers in Indonesia and worldwide through an open innovation approach that involves challenges, prizes and crowdsourcing. It is anticipated that these challenges will address (but will not be limited to) novel approaches involving science and technology to delink palm oil production from deforestation; provide better access to workforce opportunities for poor and vulnerable populations in Indonesia; address challenges in the health sector related to infectious disease and improving maternal child health outcomes; and novel solutions to address democratic governance issues such as effective service delivery, more open and accessible government data, and protection of citizen rights. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate the development of innovative tools and strategies for curing HIV infection. HIV establishes latent infection in long-lived cells that form a reservoir of virus that persists in infected individuals even after years of treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Curing HIV infection requires innovative strategies to identify and eliminate these reservoir cells. The task is especially difficult given the lack of HIV protein expression during latency and the low frequency of latently infected cells during treatment. Novel approaches are therefore sought to efficiently monitor and specifically target reservoirs of latently infected cells to facilitate the testing of strategies to cure HIV infection in vivo.</Description>

The restoration activities are described within the publicly reviewed Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment for the Certus Chemical Spill Natural Resource Damage Assessment (Plan). The Plan specifically identifies habitat protection, restoration, and the use of best management practices as measures to improve water quality and overall health of the aquatic ecosystem. The activities funded via the cooperative agreement will supplement existing restoration activities in the Clinch River watershed.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Regional Joint Venture (JV) Office is to assist partners in implementing effective science-based bird conservation projects in the Prairie Pothole (PPJV) and Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes (UMRGLJV) Joint Venture regions. Each JV has an Implementation Plan and conservation strategies identifying bird habitat, monitoring, and research needs with an emphasis on JV focal species. These plans and associated research and monitoring needs can be found at www.ppjv.org and www.uppermissgreatlakesjv.org. Both JVs have identified priority evaluation needs to fill information gaps and test assumptions used in plan development. Proposals for monitoring and applied research that improve JV conservation decision tools at larger scales (e.g., Bird Conservation Region) will be given higher grant priority. In addition, projects to address conservation priorities in State Wildlife Action Plans (http://teaming.com/state-wildlife-action-plans-swaps), and for JV focal species, should be highlighted. Proposals related to coordination, outreach, planning, and bird habitat restoration enhancement contributing toward goals identified in the JV plans will also be considered, if adequate funds are available. All submissions should explain how the outcome of proposed projects is regional in scope. All proposals should have a minimum 1:1 match of non-Federal dollars to Joint Venture request, and the partners providing secured match must be identified. Each proposal must include: applicant contact information, a detailed scope of work including justification, objectives or hypotheses, scope and location, clearly-explained project methods, anticipated outcomes, management implications, literature cited, proposed project timeline, a budget table identifying partners and match, a task timeline, and project-cost details. The linkage between proposed research/monitoring projects and a JV Implementation Plan must be clearly stated. Upon completion, a professional project report with abstract, detailed background, methods, results, discussion, and management implications is required, and annual interim reports are required for multiple-year projects. Though out-year (future) funding for multi-year projects cannot be guaranteed, continued funding of multiple-year projects will be conditionally approved once they are first selected. Progress reports, updated budgets, and requests for continued funding on multi-year proposals should be submitted to the Joint Venture Coordinator by 3 January each year until project completion. Proposed projects requiring funding from multiple sources to meet anticipated costs should clearly identify all funding sources and their status. Proposals requesting grant funds for indirect costs must be supported by an approved Indirect Cost Rate Agreement. Due to potential delays in Federal appropriations, projects should not have a start date sooner than 1 July 2015.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES-2014 NRA (NNH14ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#146;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat, and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements.

        <Description>Health centers improve the health of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services. Health Center Program grants support a variety of community-based and patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that serve an increasing number of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved. Individually, each health center plays an important role in the goal of ensuring access to services, and combined, they have had a critical impact on the health care status of medically underserved and vulnerable populations throughout the United States and its territories. The Health Center Program targets the Nation&amp;#191;s neediest populations and geographic areas by currently funding approximately 1,300 health centers that operate over 9,000 service delivery sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In 2013, more than 21 million patients, including medically underserved and uninsured patients, received comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services through the Health Center Program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Health Center Program&amp;#191;s Service Area Competition &amp;#191; Additional Area (SAC-AA). The FOA details the SAC-AA eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations seeking a grant for operational support of an announced service area under the Health Center Program, including Community Health Center (CHC &amp;#191; section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC &amp;#191; section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH &amp;#191; section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC &amp;#191; section 330(i)). For the purposes of this document, the term &amp;#191;health center&amp;#191; refers to the diverse types of health centers (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and /or PHPC) supported under section 330 of the PHS Act, as amended.</Description>

        <CategoryExplanation>The mission of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic participation through service and volunteering. CNCS&amp;#151;through its AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs &amp;#151;has helped to engage millions of citizens in meeting community and national challenges through service and volunteer action.     The FY15 Operation AmeriCorps competition has two funding priorities. Applicants may choose to apply to either of the priorities. The first priority focuses on specific post-secondary outcomes for students. The second priority allows localities to identify their most pressing challenge. In each case, the most important element is choosing a project that will be a game-changer for the local community and ensuring that there are clear outcomes to measure success.    Priority one applications will propose a transformational project that uses a national service to ensure that every high school senior has a career or educational opportunity upon graduation. Using AmeriCorps as the catalyst to engage the whole community, the goal is for every graduating high school senior to participate in one of the following five options after graduation: further education; military service; national service in AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps; employment; or a paid internship, a registered apprenticeship, or job training program.    Under priority one, applicants must design an AmeriCorps intervention to ensure that each high school senior in their community has one of these options. Priority one applications will receive higher preference for funding than priority two applications.     Priority two applicants may propose transformational projects that address any of CNCS&amp;#146;s six focus areas: disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, or veterans and military families. Examples include projects that use national service resources to ensure every third grader is reading on grade level, greatly increase energy efficiency, or end veterans&amp;#146; homelessness. Applicants will be responsible for determining the specific design and outcomes for any priority two projects they propose.  </CategoryExplanation>

        <Description>Operation AmeriCorps is a new initiative created by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). For the first time, applicants may request AmeriCorps State and National, AmeriCorps VISTA, and AmeriCorps NCCC resources in a single application to use national service as the transformative catalyst to address a community&amp;#146;s most pressing local problem. Through Operation AmeriCorps, tribal and local leaders will identify a high priority local challenge which AmeriCorps resources can holistically address in a relatively short period of time (no more than two years). The competition is open exclusively to tribal and local governments, including counties, cities, towns, and school districts; and state service commissions. The proposed solution may be a new program, or it may use national service to scale up an existing successful effort. In either case AmeriCorps must be the additive ingredient to achieve holistic change at the local level.</Description>

        <Description>The federally endangered Palos Verdes blue butterfly (Glaucopsyche lygdamus paloverdesensis) was rediscovered on Defense Fuel Support Point, San Pedro in 1994 after 10 years of presumed extinction. This butterfly was historically only known from the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and its rediscovery on Defense Fuel Support Point, San Pedro prompted immediate action by the Department of Defense (Defense Logistics Agency and Department of the Navy), which instituted a conservation program to bring this butterfly back from the brink of extinction and thereby fulfill its obligations under the Endangered Species Act. The success of this conservation program has been one of the Department of Defense&amp;#146;s most noteworthy, and has generated considerable press and recognition by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Current conservation efforts are guided by the Biological Opinion on the Formal Section 7 Consultation for Routine Maintenance Operations, Defense Fuel Support Point, San Pedro, Los Angeles County, California (United States Fish and Wildlife Service, 2010). This proposed cooperative agreement continues the captive rearing and population surveys which are integral for ensuring the continued survivorship of this species. The efforts include continued rearing and breeding of captive stock at both primary (Defense Fuel Support Point) and secondary (Moorpark College, Moorpark, California) sites identified by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. </Description>

        <Description>We propose a cultural performance and workshop series that celebrates and articulates the longstanding connection between India and the U.S. The successful proposal will carefully select the medium of cultural performance. We are not only interested to showcase the fusion of Indian and Western art forms but will give special consideration to a new, crisp approach that entertains and inspires a high level audience, one that might be hosted by the U.S. Ambassador at the official residence. The successful proposal will reflect American society and creativity, and also be original, thoughtful, and positive.Performances or events will be the key part of every proposal, and the successful proposal should provide creative options for the size, scale and content of the performances. Performances can range in size from small, intimate affairs with a select audience of 12, to a large scale public performance before a thousand or more. Performances may be recorded, prepared for broadcast/dissemination through a variety of media platforms at the discretion of the U.S. Embassy.Workshops should also be part of the proposal, and they should provide targeted audiences/communities with an opportunity to build skills, increase a sense of community, build linkages, and engage in important interaction. These linkages should include individuals and organizations in both India and the United States.Target Audiences will be identified by U.S. Mission India. Potential venues for performances and workshops would be proposed by both the recipient and U.S. Mission India cultural programming staff, and the final decision will be the embassy&amp;#146;s. It is not required that the workshops take place in all five consular districts; instead, the U.S. Mission will work with the program partner, local partners, and with other appropriate institutions to identify the priority locations for this project. The project should use traditional media, Facebook and Twitter as amplifiers, and will use DVC, Livestream, Google, etc., to broadcast events. The performances and workshops should foster a recognition among Indians that as their economic stature rises, so do the interests that the U.S. and India have in common.(please see full announcement for more details)</Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on golden eagle movement behavior and ecology in the context of renewable energy development. The CESU partner will perform research associated with interactions between golden eagles and wind energy development in California. Towards this goal, the partner will work with the USGS to assist the USFWS to understand the extent to which results from surveys for golden eagle use correspond to actual use of specific areas by eagles. Data from telemetry monitoring of eagles will be provided to the CESU partner by USGS and partner staff will evaluate the relationship between potentially observable and actual eagle use. This analysis could be published in a wildlife management, conservation biology or applied ecology journal. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants: An application must be submitted by a lead applicant on behalf of a partnership that involves all public and private organizations (including non-profit, business, industry, and labor organizations) that will participate in pilot implementation and governance. The lead applicant must be a State, local, or tribal government entity, represented by a Chief Executive, such as a governor, mayor, or other elected leader, or the head of a State, local, or tribal agency. In addition to formally submitting the application, the official representing the lead applicant will serve as the primary official who is responsible for the pilot project if the proposal is selected as a pilot. A private, non-profit organization is not an eligible applicant for a pilot; however, it may have a significant role in the design, governance, and implementation of a pilot and may, if appropriate, be a signatory to the performance agreement. For more information on the potential roles and participation of non-profit organizations in a pilot, see the FAQs in the application package.      For each application selected as a pilot, the respective representatives of all participating State, local, and tribal governments must be parties to the performance agreement governing the pilot. For example, when a P3 pilot proposed at the local or tribal level is financed with funds administered by a State, the administering State agency must be a party to the agreement and must agree to any waivers or other proposals that are needed to implement the pilot and also fall under that State agency&amp;apos;s jurisdiction. If a State or group of States proposes a pilot that would be implemented only in certain communities and would involve participation by local government jurisdictions, these jurisdictions will need to be party to the agreement and agree to implement the pilot as proposed by the State(s).</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. Purpose of Program: The Performance Partnership Pilots (P3) program, authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, Division H, Section 526 (the Act), will enable up to ten pilot sites to test innovative, outcome-focused strategies to achieve significant improvements in educational, employment, and other key outcomes \1\ for disconnected youth \2\ using new flexibility to blend \3\ existing Federal funds and to seek waivers \4\ of associated program requirements. P3 pilots will receive start-up grants to support ongoing planning, streamlined governance, strengthened data infrastructure, improved coordination, and related activities to help pilots improve outcomes for disconnected youth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Outcomes are the intended results of a program, or intervention. They are what you expect your project to achieve. An outcome can be at the participant level (for example, changes in employment retention or earnings of disconnected youth) or at the system level (for example, improved efficiency in program operations or administration). \2\ The Act defines ``disconnected youth&amp;apos;&amp;apos; as individuals between the ages of 14 and 24 who are low-income, and either homeless, in foster care, involved in the juvenile justice system, unemployed, or not enrolled in, or at risk of dropping out of, an educational institution. \3\ Blending funds is a funding and resource allocation strategy that uses multiple existing funding streams to support a single initiative or strategy. Blended funding merges two or more funding streams, or portions of multiple funding streams, to produce greater efficiency and/or effectiveness. Funds from each individual stream lose their award-specific identity, and the blended funds together become subject to a single set of reporting and other requirements, consistent with the underlying purposes of the programs for which the funds were appropriated. \4\ A waiver provides flexibility around statutory, regulatory, or administrative requirements to enable a State, locality, or tribe to organize its programs and systems or provide services in ways that best meet the needs of its target populations. Under P3, waivers provide flexibility in exchange for a grantee&amp;apos;s commitment to improve programmatic outcomes consistent with underlying statutory authorities and purposes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.420A.

Specifically, the FOA solicits applications for projects to adapt, apply, and validate existing or emerging technologies into a new generation of user-friendly, low-cost devices or assays that are clinically comparable to currently used technologies for imaging, in vitro detection/diagnosis, prevention or treatment of cancers in humans living in LMICs. Funds will be made available through the UH2/UH3 phased innovation cooperative agreement award mechanism. Applicants should have a working assay or prototype (not necessarily already capable of cancer applications). The initial UH2 exploratory phase will be a feasibility study to demonstrate technical functionality and clinical potential for use in LMIC settings by meeting specific performance milestones. UH2 projects that have met their milestones will be administratively considered by NCI and NIBIB and subsequently prioritized for transition to the UH3 validation phase. UH3 awards will support improvements and validations of the technologies in the LMIC settings. Projects proposed in response to this FOA will require multidisciplinary efforts to succeed and therefore all applicant teams must include expertise in engineering/assay/treatment development, oncology, global healthcare delivery, and business development. Investigators responding to this FOA must address both UH2 and UH3 phases.</Description>

        <Description>The William Penn Mott Presidio Visitor Center is scheduled to open in historic Building 201, a former Provost Office on the north side of the parade ground in the Main Post of the San Francisco Presidio in summer of 2016, to coincide with the NPS Centennial. This project is being developed as an equal partnership between the National Park Service, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, and the Presidio Trust. This new facility will primarily function as a portal to experiences throughout the Presidio, welcoming and orienting visitors, facilitating trip planning, serving as a start-point for Presidio tours and other visitor programs, and providing a gathering place for visitors and local residents. The new exhibits and integral interpretive retail will convey the significance and impart the breadth of the Presidio, and will link to other sites and other Park Partners where themes or elements will be explored in greater depth. It will also set the context for the Presidio in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and serve a secondary function of welcoming visitors to the resources of the GGNRA. The Conceptual and Schematic exhibit design phases of this project are already nearing completion. This specific Task Agreement is for partnership Design Development and Construction Document design packages, to allow NPS to contract for fabrication (separate from this Task Agreement). </Description>

        <Description>The Federal Cyber Service: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program seeks to increase the number of qualified students entering the fields of information assurance and cybersecurity and to increase the capacity of the United States higher education enterprise to continue to produce professionals in these fields to meet the needs of our increasingly technological society. The SFS program is composed of two tracks:The Scholarship Track provides funding to colleges and universities to award scholarships to students in the information assurance and cybersecurity fields. Scholarship recipients shall pursue academic programs in information assurance for the final two years of their bachelor&amp;apos;s- or master&amp;apos;s-level program; final three years of study where the student is receiving both the bachelor&amp;apos;s and the master&amp;apos;s degree; final three years in combined bachelor&amp;apos;s and master&amp;apos;s degree (&amp;quot;five year&amp;quot;) programs; or for the final three years of research-based doctoral-level study. During the scholarship period, the students will participate in meaningful summer internships but doctoral students may be allowed to replace their summer internship with a research activity. In return for their scholarships, recipients will work after graduation for a Federal, State, Local, or Tribal Government organization in a position related to cybersecurity for a period equal to the length of the scholarship. A limited number of students may be placed in National Laboratories and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs).The Capacity Building Track provides funds to colleges and universities to improve the quality and increase the production of high-quality information assurance and cybersecurity professionals by providing support for efforts within the higher education system, as well as outreach to K-12 students with related interests. Professional development of faculty expertise in information assurance, cybersecurity or digital forensics can be funded under this track, as well as projects to increase interest in information assurance and accelerate the integration of information assurance, computer security or cybersecurity knowledge across the STEM disciplines; development, deployment, and evaluation of information assurance, cybersecurity and/or digital forensics curriculum guidelines leading to wide adoption nationally; evaluation of the effectiveness of cybersecurity competitions, games, and other outreach and retention activities; and other innovative and creative projects which lead to an increase in the ability of the United States higher education enterprise to produce information assurance and cybersecurity professionals.</Description>

        <Description>The CDC announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2015 funds to implement CDC-RFA-DP15-1513PPHF15, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The CDC established the BRFSS in 1984 with 15 states participating in monthly data collection. Since that time, the BRFSS has grown to be the only continuous, state-based, health surveillance system that is conducted nationwide. The purpose of this FOA is to continue to provide financial and technical assistance to state and territorial health departments to maintain behavioral surveillance through the BRFSS and increase the use of BRFSS data by health departments to inform public health actions to improve health. The project period for this FOA is five years with a 12-month budget period and an anticipated award date of March 29, 2015. By the end of the five-year project period, recipients are expected to have achieved the short- and mid-term outcomes that will result from the recipient activities specified within this FOA. Overview: Chronic diseases and conditions are among the most common and preventable of all health problems. As of 2012, about half of all adults have one or more chronic health conditions and one in four has two or more. These chronic health problems account for the majority of U.S. health care and economic costs and also account for the majority of the leading causes of death in the United States. State and local governments rely on surveillance data to monitor the prevalence of health risk behaviors that are associated with these chronic health problems as well as with preventable injuries. This type of surveillance data provide the information that public health practitioners and decision-makers need to inform public health actions aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with chronic diseases, injuries, and associated health risk behaviors Although health monitoring is being conducted on a national level, in many cases national surveillance data do not adequately describe the health risk behaviors and health status of populations in a state. In addition, there is growing demand for data that corresponds with smaller, sub-state geographic areas such as metropolitan statistical areas and counties. Therefore, state- and sub-state level surveillance data are needed to better understand and address the health status, health risk behaviors, and health disparities within states across the nation. </Description>

        <Description>The National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to enhance opportunities for collaborative activities between conservation scientists, chemists and materials scientists to address grand challenges in the field of science of cultural heritage. A 2009 workshop, which was co-sponsored by NSF and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, concluded that the field of cultural heritage science could greatly benefit from collaboration between conservation scientists, primarily located in US museums, and chemists and materials scientists in academic institutions. Largely in line with the workshop report, which can be found at http://mac.mellon.org/NSF-MellonWorkshop the program solicits collaborative proposals between researchers in US museums and academic institutions that aim to: a) develop new and improved analytical techniques and instruments with high sensitivity and spatial resolution (large and small scale) for restricted volume and/or standoff detection of component materials, degradation products and deterioration markers that are suitable for non-destructive analysis of cultural heritage objects; b) study dynamic changes leading to degradation of cultural heritage objects; c) design new multi-functional treatment materials for cultural heritage objects; d) develop new theoretical models to predict dynamic processes in cultural heritage objects that lead to their degradation while taking into account their molecular and materials properties and their surface and bulk interactions with environmental perimeters. While the current solicitation is limited to chemistry and materials research topics, it is envisioned that the program will be expanded in future years to include additional areas of interest to the field of cultural heritage science. The program seeks highly innovative 3-year collaborative projects that break new ground and demonstrate a high level of synergy between the collaborating investigators. Formation of new collaborations is strongly encouraged. Investigators who have been collaborators must demonstrate that the proposed project represents a new research direction for the collaborative team. The program will not accept proposals for projects that are currently funded by other funding sources. The program will also not accept proposals for projects that largely overlap or are closely related to research projects that are currently funded by other sources nor will it accept projects that only constitute an incremental extension of projects that are already carried out in the collaborators&amp;#8217; laboratories. The program also requires that the proposed projects will meaningfully involve the participation of undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral research associates, including those from underrepresented groups. The program also encourages the development and use of cyber infrastructure to increase the level of synergy of the proposed projects.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Sickle Cell Disease Newborn Screening Program (SCDNBSP) to enhance CBO&amp;#191;s efforts to provide follow-up services for sickle cell patients and support sickle cell disease counseling, education, referrals to a medical home, and other support services. The goals of the SCDNBSP are for a national sickle cell organization, in part by working with regional and local sickle cell community-based organizations (CBOs) to: 1) create a national effort to develop, implement, and maintain a national strategy to identify and assess the care quality and outcomes of individuals with sickle cell disease in order to assure access to comprehensive care; 2) increase the use of sickle cell educator/counselors (e.g., community health workers); and 3) increase the number of patients with care coordination, follow-up and referral to medical homes for sickle cell patients. The sickle cell educator/counselors will provide care coordination to sickle cell patients in communities by educating patients about sickle cell, linking patients to medical homes and assisting them with other resources in the community to address their health care quality and outcomes. A regional approach will be used for the Sickle Cell Disease Newborn Screening Program. The Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Demonstration Program (SCDTDP) uses a regional model, and the applicant is expected to work collaboratively with the SCDTDP awardees. The program will support one (1) applicant, that will be expected to have a national reach and to enter into subaward agreements with at least one sickle cell CBO in each region with the capacity to serve as a regional lead (See regions in the Background Section below). The CBO regional leads will be expected to serve as a shared resource for other CBOs in the region and provide technical assistance to implement efforts to enhance outreach and education to the sickle cell community. If a region does not have a sickle cell CBO with the capacity to lead the effort alone, multiple CBOs in the region may work collaboratively as the lead. Also, if a region or subset of a region lacks a CBO that could perform the duties of the program, a medical center-based program that offers outreach and education may be used. The applicant is expected to dedicate a significant proportion of the budget directly to the SCDNBSP regions to support the activities of this program. The successful applicant will: 1) serve as the lead organization for the national effort; 2) work with HRSA and CBOs to develop, implement, and maintain strategies to identify patients and assess their care quality and outcomes to assure access to comprehensive care, and 3) provide technical assistance for CBOs in developing strategies to increase the use of sickle cell educator/counselors. The CBO regional leads will identify other CBOs and partners in each state of their region and, where applicable, work with the SCDTDP Regional Collaborative in their region to increase the number of patients receiving care coordination and referral to medical homes.</Description>

        <Description>The decentralized management framework created by the Clean Water Act presents challenges to organizations and citizens trying to understand, monitor, and track water quality conditions locally, regionally, and/or nationally. CSU and the NPS Water Resources Division (WRD) have previously collaborated to ameliorate this problem over America&amp;#191;s treasured park lands by consolidating and centralizing data, information, and maps from 56 states and territories about water quality conditions in the National Park System to make those resources readily available to the parks, the public, and other organizations so they can become part of the water quality management process. The current project continues that collaboration. CSU faculty, staff, research associates, and students will work with the NPS WRD to identify Clean Water Act outstanding resource waters classifications and impaired waters designations by states within the National Park System and use this information to update and expand existing databases and websites. The products generated by this effort will include GIS coverages as well as a website with reports containing descriptive graphical and tabular summaries of: (1) park waterbodies that are currently listed on state 303d water-quality impaired lists; (2) parks that have designated Outstanding National or State Resource Waters created by state water quality regulations; and (3) parks that contain particular types of impairments. To the greatest extent feasible, this project will extract and reformat, on a park-specific basis, data from existing databases, including individual state water quality standards systems and several databases maintained or being developed by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey (e.g. National Hydrography Dataset, STORET, 305b, and 303d). Syntheses of these data will be made to support Government Performance Results Act (GPRA), Vital Signs, State of the Parks, and &amp;#191;Scorecard&amp;#191; efforts as well as to empower the public to help steward water resources in parks.</Description>

        <Description>Model UN (MUN) programs are growing in popularity and many events are being organized in schools, colleges, and universities each year around India. These events offer a unique platform to bring together the next generation of leaders from across India to discuss regional and global issues. MUN also enhances several important skill sets: foreign policy research, negotiation, drafting resolutions, public speaking, problem solving, and debating. While elite Indian schools send their students to compete internationally, it&amp;#8217;s less likely they will compete against fellow Indian MUN participants from neighboring states. We propose a two-part Model UN tournament. The main event will be a &amp;#8220;Consulate Cup&amp;#8221; MUN tournament in Mumbai, drawing together leading MUN delegates from Mumbai and other western Indian cities. In order to identify delegates for the Consulate Cup in Mumbai, the grantee also will be responsible for organizing and executing, including all logistical and administrative arrangements, a MUN tournament in at least one western Indian city outside of Mumbai. Target audiences should include, but are not limited to, high school and college/university students interested in foreign policy and world affairs. Youth should come from a variety of Indian academic institutions. The U.S. Consulate General Mumbai will approve the final list of participants. The event(s) outside Mumbai and Mumbai Consulate Cup should take place before the end of calendar year 2015 and take into account school exam and holiday schedules. Alternate timing of the conferences will be considered, but must be approved by U.S. Consulate General Mumbai. The U.S. Consulate will work with the grantee and local partners, and with other appropriate institutions, such as the UN Information Office, to plan the events. </Description>

        <Description>These grants support faculty development programs in the humanities for school teachers and for college and university teachers. NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes may be as short as two weeks or as long as five weeks. NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes &amp;#191; extend and deepen knowledge and understanding of the humanities by focusing on significant topics and texts; &amp;#191; contribute to the intellectual vitality and professional development of participants; &amp;#191; build communities of inquiry and provide models of civility and excellent scholarship and teaching; and &amp;#191; link teaching and research in the humanities. An NEH Summer Seminar or Institute may be hosted by a college, university, learned society, center for advanced study, library or other repository, cultural or professional organization, or school or school system. The host site must be suitable for the project, providing facilities for scholarship and collegial interaction. These programs are designed for a national audience of teachers. Note that NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes may be held only in the United States and its territories. Projects in foreign countries are no longer supported. Program formats &amp;#191; Seminar for school teachers&amp;#191;sixteen participants (NEH Summer Scholars): A seminar enables sixteen participants (of whom two may be full-time graduate students who intend to pursue a K-12 teaching career) to examine an important text, study works of well-known authors, or review scholarship on a significant historical period or event. The principal goals are to deepen teachers&amp;#191; understanding of the subject at hand through reading, discussion, reflection, and writing, and to sustain their intellectual commitment to teaching. The director, an expert in the field, guides discussion of common readings and offers advice for individual study and projects. &amp;#191; Institute for school teachers&amp;#191;twenty-five to thirty participants (NEH Summer Scholars): An institute, which is typically guided by a team of core faculty and visiting scholars, presents the best available scholarship on important topics and works in the humanities that are taught in the nation&amp;#191;s schools. Participants (of whom three may be full-time graduate students who intend to pursue a K-12 teaching career) compare and synthesize the various perspectives offered by the faculty and make connections between the institute content and classroom teaching. The emphasis throughout is on teaching the specific humanities subject matter and not on pedagogical theory and approaches. &amp;#191; Seminar for college and university teachers&amp;#191;sixteen participants (NEH Summer Scholars): A seminar enables participants (including two full-time graduate students in the humanities) to conduct scholarly research and focused study under the direction of a scholarly expert. The director designs a program to articulate key topics and focus discussion in seminar meetings. The director also advises participants on individual projects. &amp;#191; Institute for college and university teachers&amp;#191;twenty-five to thirty participants (NEH Summer Scholars): An institute focuses on a subject of major importance in undergraduate education. Guided by a team of core and visiting scholars, participants (including three full-time graduate students in the humanities) explore a variety of perspectives on the subject. The primary goal is to advance humanities teaching. </Description>

        <Description>The Landmarks of American History and Culture program supports a series of one-week residence-based workshops for a national audience of K-12 educators. NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops use historic sites to address central themes and issues in American history, government, literature, art, music, and related subjects in the humanities. Each workshop is offered twice during the summer. Workshops accommodate thirty-six school teachers (NEH Summer Scholars) at each one-week session. The goals of the workshops are to &amp;#149; increase knowledge and appreciation of subjects, ideas, and places significant to American history and culture through humanities reading and site study; &amp;#149; build communities of inquiry and provide models of civility and of excellent scholarship and teaching; &amp;#149; provide teachers with expertise in the use and interpretation of historical sites and of material and archival resources; and &amp;#149; foster interaction between K-12 educators and scholarly experts. NEH Landmarks Workshops are academically rigorous and focus on key primary sources and scholarly works relevant to major themes of American history and culture. Leading scholars should serve as lecturers or seminar leaders. Workshops should also enable participants to work with primary documents and develop a project. NEH Landmarks Workshops are held at or near sites important to American history and culture, such as presidential residences or libraries; colonial-era settlements; major battlefields; historic districts; parks and preserves; sites of key economic, social, political, and constitutional developments; and places associated with major writers, artists, and musicians. Applicants should make a compelling case for the historical significance of the site(s), the material resources available for use, and the ways in which the site(s) will enhance the workshop.</Description>

        <Description>Collect baseline data on terrestrial and aquatic species that can be used to evaluate the Surrogate Species conservation approach in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Survey Greater prairie-chicken in the Flint Hills using the same methods McDonald et al. (2014) used to estimate the range-wide lesser prairie-chicken population. A helicopter with 3 observers and a pilot will be used to survey 70 15x15km cells for prairie chicken leks. When a lek is found, the number of birds present will be counted. These data will be used to (1) develop population estimates for GPC in the Flint Hills and (2) collect data for use in development of landscape models and decision support tools for GPC. These products will allow development of population goals and decision support tools as well as baseline data needed to test the surrogate species approach for the first R6 surrogate species project area in the Flint Hills of Kansas. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to seek applications for the Developmental Centers for Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology Program (P20). The intent of this Program is to further advance research in benign urology by facilitating resources sharing and building research teams. The research teams should be composed of individuals with complementary expertise who propose either to develop innovative resources (Resource Development Projects) or new research projects (Scientific Research Projects) that utilize integrative approaches addressing research questions relevant to benign urological diseases. Resources developed by the Resource Development Projects will be shared upon validation while resources developed by the Scientific Research Projects will be shared at the end or termination of the award. Each Developmental Center is centered on a single Project and must contain an Administrative Core and an Educational Enrichment Program. As part of the larger efforts in the Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases (DKUH) to expand and enhance the urology research community, the Developmental Centers Program will work in partnership with the George M. OBrien Urology Cooperative Research Centers Program (U54) and the Multidisciplinary K12 Urologic Research (KURe) Career Development Program.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications from organizations throughout the U.S. and its territories to provide family-centered primary medical care to women, infants, children, and youth (WICY) living with HIV/AIDS when payments for such services are unavailable from other sources. Funding is intended to improve access to primary HIV medical care for HIV-infected women, infants, children, and youth through the provision of coordinated, comprehensive, culturally and linguistically competent services. The entire Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D is being re-competed through this FOA in order to respond to the changing HIV epidemiology and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy with the goal of providing comprehensive health care services for the WICY populations in areas of greatest need for services. Part D grantees are expected to provide HIV primary care, specialty medical care, and support services to the clients they serve. For the purpose of implementing programs funded by Part D, HIV primary medical care refers to outpatient or ambulatory care, including behavioral health, nutrition, and oral health services. Family-centered care refers to services that address the health care needs of the persons living with HIV in order to achieve optimal health outcomes. Specialty care refers to specialty HIV care and specialty medical care such as obstetrics and gynecology, hepatology, and neurology. Support services may include the following: -1 Family-centered care including case management. -2 Referrals for additional services including- (A) referrals for inpatient hospital services, treatment for substance abuse, and mental health services; and (B) referrals for other social and support services, as appropriate. -3 Additional services necessary to enable the patient and the family to participate in the program established by the applicant pursuant to such subsection including services designed to recruit and retain youth with HIV. -4 The provision of information and education on opportunities to participate in HIV/AIDS-related clinical research. National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) The National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) has three primary goals: 1) reducing the number of people who become infected with HIV, 2) increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes for people living with HIV, and 3) reducing HIV-related health disparities. The NHAS states that more must be done to ensure that new prevention methods are identified and that prevention resources are more strategically deployed. Further, the NHAS recognizes the importance of early entrance into care for people living with HIV (PLWH) to protect their health and reduce their potential of transmitting the virus to others. HIV disproportionately affects people who have less access to prevention, care and treatment services and, as a result, often have poorer health outcomes. Therefore, the NHAS advocates adopting community-level approaches to identify people who are HIV-positive but do not know their serostatus and reduce stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV. To the extent possible, program activities should strive to support the three primary goals of the NHAS. As encouraged by the NHAS, programs should seek opportunities to increase collaboration, efficiency, and innovation in the development of program activities to ensure success of the NHAS. Programs providing direct services should comply with federally-approved guidelines for HIV Prevention and Treatment (see http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov/Guidelines/Default.aspx as a reliable source for current guidelines). More information can also be found at http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/onap/nhas Based on the HIV/AIDS Bureau&amp;apos;s (HAB&amp;apos;s) evaluation and the NHAS, a change in the focus of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D is necessitated. The NHAS and recent research findings emphasize the importance of effectively using scarce resources to provide clinical care and treatment to PLWH and to ensure that those resources are being directed to the populations most in need. There have been significant changes in the HIV epidemiologic trends in the U.S. Effective antiretroviral (ARV) drugs for therapy and prophylaxis have been discovered and are widely available. In addition, the Affordable Care Act promises improved healthcare insurance coverage. Transmission of HIV from mother to infant has decreased tremendously with universal prenatal HIV testing and ARV prophylaxis. Today, children comprise only about 1 percent of the HIV epidemic in the United States. Women, especially women of color, now comprise 25 percent of all people living with HIV (PLWH) in the U.S. The greatest increases in HIV incidence are occurring in adolescents and young adults with 34 percent of new HIV infections in those ages 13-29. Additionally young Black males having sex with males (MSM) represent the most impacted racial/ethnic group. (Prejean, PLoS ONE 2011, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=Prejean%2C%20PLoS%20ONE%202011.) Ryan White-funded services should ensure that newly identified PLWH, especially young African American MSM, are linked into healthcare, provided ARV medications, and retained in care. Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Beginning in Fiscal Year 2000, Congress designated a portion of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D Coordinated Services for Women, Infants, Children, Youth and Families funding for the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI). The Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) is intended to address the disproportionate impact that HIV/AIDS has on racial and ethnic minorities and to address the disparities in access, treatment, care, and outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities, including African Americans, Alaskan Natives, Latinos, American Indians, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. The goal of MAI is to help reduce this burden by: o Increasing the number of persons from racial and ethnic populations receiving HIV care o Increasing the number of persons from racial and ethnic populations who stay in care MAI funds are granted to health care organizations that provide culturally and linguistically appropriate care and services to racial and ethnic minorities. Funded Part D WICY programs will be assigned funds under the MAI by the HRSA/HAB Division of Community Based Programs (DCBP), which administers the Part D program. This assignment is based on the percentage of the WICY populations proposed to be served from racial/ethnic minority communities. The amount of MAI funds awarded is noted under the grant specific terms section of the Notice of Award (NOA) which establishes the final funding for the budget period. </Description>

        <Description> The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals on carbon-based molecular electronics. The objective of this Basic Research Challenge (BRC) program is to encourage research and innovation in bottom-up chemical synthesis and assembly of carbon, particularly graphene, based electronic devices and circuits with atomic precision and Angstrom resolution. The program will address the challenges and limitations in top-down fabricated graphene nanoelectronic devices, where structures are too large (limited by lithography) and intrinsic graphene properties are often masked by edge roughness and hard to measure. The long term vision of the program is to enable a new kind of molecular electronics &amp;#150; a single giant molecule made of carbon or other related materials that functions as electronic, magnetic or optical devices or circuits. We envision a future when we will build large scale electronic systems in a hierarchical fashion, where nanoscale objects built with atomic precision and up to the size of , say ~ 1 &amp;#956;m, will seamlessly interface with microscale systems, built with top-down lithographic techniques (i.e., top-down meets bottom-up). ***** Applicants shall NOT apply under this Special Notice. Applicants shall apply using the Application Instructions and Package under ONRBAA12-001.</Description>

        <Description>The Public Scholar program supports well-researched books in the humanities intended to reach a broad readership. Although humanities scholarship can be specialized, the humanities also strive to engage broad audiences in exploring subjects of general interest. They seek to deepen our understanding of the human condition as well as current conditions and contemporary problems. The Public Scholar program aims to encourage scholarship that will be of broad interest and have lasting impact. Such scholarship might present a narrative history, tell the stories of important individuals, analyze significant texts, provide a synthesis of ideas, revive interest in a neglected subject, or examine the latest thinking on a topic. Books supported by this program must be grounded in humanities research and scholarship. They must address significant humanities themes likely to be of broad interest and must be written in a readily accessible style. Making use of primary and/or secondary sources, they should open up important and appealing subjects for wider audiences. The challenge is to make sense of a significant topic in a way that will appeal to general readers. By establishing the Public Scholar program, NEH enters a long-term commitment to encourage scholarship in the humanities for general audiences. In the early rounds of the competition, NEH especially welcomes applicants who are in the writing stages of their projects or who already have a commitment from a publisher. However, the Public Scholar program also supports projects in the early stages of development. The program is open to both individuals affiliated with scholarly institutions and independent scholars. </Description>

        <Description>In Vietnam&amp;#8217;s southern region, government health facilities at the regional, provincial, district, and commune levels need strong strategic information and laboratory diagnostic systems to support the regional HIV/AIDS response. The General Department of Preventive Medicine (GDPM) and the Vietnam Administration of HIV/AIDS Control (VAAC) fall under the National Ministry of Health (MOH) and supervise regional institutes and preventive medicine centers (PMCs), and provincial aids committees (PACs), respectively. The Vietnam Administration for Medical Services (VAMS) also under the MOH, supervises central and regional hospitals. These PMCs, PACs, and key hospitals, require laboratory and strategic information technical assistance (TA) to strengthen laboratory and strategic information systems management, and quality assurance and control. Technical assistance in these areas will improve facility diagnostic capacity, case reporting, and surveillance and thus Vietnam&amp;#8217;s ability to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As the regional public health institution reporting directly to the MOH, Pasteur Institute (PI) can provide TA to these government health facilities, by building the capacity of the systems and staff to monitor and respond to HIV/AIDS. In collaboration with the Government of Vietnam&amp;#8217;s strategic vision for HIV/AIDS and other public health conditions, the goals and objectives of this project will support the implementation of the National Strategy for HIV/AIDS through 2020, including: &amp;#8226; Building national surveillance data systems that are capable of collecting and reporting timely quality data and can effectively use data to measure HIV prevention and care and treatment program performances and improve the public health response. &amp;#8226; Strengthening regional laboratory capacity to improve diagnostic testing for HIV, dissemination of results, and quality improvement efforts for disease detection, monitoring and surveillance. As PEPFAR enters its third five-year phase, the Vietnam program, in line with global strategy, will strengthen its focus on TA. PEPFAR will prioritize the strengthening of health facility systems and staff capacity to provide quality diagnostic, monitoring, and surveillance data for decision- making to increase the accuracy, reliability and efficiency of the national HIV/AIDS response. This FOA will focus on two technical areas: Laboratory Quality Management Strengthening and Strengthening Surveillance and Strategic Information Systems.</Description>

        <Description>The DHS Career Development Grant (CDG) program is one of several administered by the Office of University Programs intended to help achieve the goals of S&amp;amp;T. The CDG program creates early and ongoing synergies between the homeland security professional and scientific communities and students studying in HS-STEM fields at the U.S. accredited four-year colleges and universities, and to ensure a steady flow of homeland security researchers and practitioners for the future. The CDG program enables U.S. accredited four-year colleges and universities with existing and/or proposed programs in homeland security-related science, technology, engineering or mathematics to award undergraduate scholarships and/or graduate fellowships to qualified students who intend to pursue homeland security scientific, technology, engineering, or mathematic careers. Note: HS-STEM curricula are homeland security specific programs of study or concentrations within existing and/or proposed science, technology, engineering, or mathematics programs. These curricula may lead to majors, minors, certificates, or recognized concentrations in HS-STEM. DHS will support only those homeland security programs that are based on existing and/or proposed accredited science, technology, engineering, or mathematics curricula. Each institution may submit only one application per department. Institutions may submit applications from multiple departments, however, only one grant will be awarded per institution, and only for research and support for students in one of the seventeen HS-STEM areas listed in Attachment A. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are current designated recipients of FTA Section 5307 funding, including State Departments of Transportation for Urbanized Areas under 200,000 in population.    Designated Recipients are eligible to apply for authorization to use this provision on behalf of all FTA Section 5307 funding recipients within their Urbanized Area (UZA). For large urbanized areas with more than one designated recipient, FTA asks that a consolidated response be submitted by one of the designated recipients.  For areas under 200,000, the State is the designated recipient and as such, is eligible to respond to the grants.gov posting.      A designated recipient that is selected to use this provision may distribute all or some of its funding cap to other FTA funding recipients within the UZA in accordance with the local metropolitan planning process. In cases where there are multiple designated recipients in a single UZA, the distribution will be based on the total amount requested for the UZA. In order to manage these requests, FTA requests that a single designated recipient submit a consolidated request for the UZA.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>---A full description of this provision and application instructions are available in the synopsis posted with this notice and on the FTA website.--- As stated in FTA&amp;apos;s FY 2012 Notice of Apportionments, published January 11, 2012: The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (Pub. L. 112-055) permits FTA to treat fuel costs for vehicle operations, including utility costs for the propulsion of electrical vehicles, as a capital maintenance item for grants made in FY 2012 under the Urbanized Area Formula Program, up to a total of $100,000,000. The treatment of these costs as capital maintenance items means that they may be eligible for reimbursement under this program at an 80/20 matching rate. As explained in the preceding section, fuel costs are also eligible for reimbursement as an operating expense for UZAs under 200,000 in population, and under other special conditions noted above, but require a 50 percent match. Since total obligations for this purpose are limited to $100,000,000, the use of funds for this purpose will be limited in amount, and will be available only to program recipients that respond to this announcement. Designated recipients for each Urbanized Area are directed to respond to this announcement with the dollar amount, out of their annual urbanized area apportionment funding, that they would like to apply to these costs for grants made in Fiscal Year 2012. While this provision applies to grants made during FY 2012, it is not limited to grants made using FY 2012 apportioned funds and may also include grants made during FY 2012 that contain prior year funds. Recipients are directed to submit a request for the maximum dollar amount that they would elect to apply to capitalized fuel or propulsion under this provision based on the anticipated availability of full FY 2012 funding. Funds will be distributed as dollar caps for specific activities for an interested urbanized area&amp;#146;s Section 5307 apportionment. FTA will base the amount of the cap it allocates to each urbanized area that responds to the announcement on a fixed percentage applied to the Section 5307 apportionment of that urbanized area, not to exceed the amount requested. However, if all urbanized area 5307 recipients respond to the announcement, each could expect to be permitted to use no more than 2.2% of their annual formula apportionment amount for this purpose. Eligible respondents to this request are only the designated recipients for the urbanized area formula apportionment, including the State DOTs for areas under 200,000. The upcoming funding announcement will provide further direction. FTA will publish the distribution in a Federal Register notice.Recipients are advised that this provision does not provide any funding in addition to their Section 5307 program apportionment. Funds granted under this provision will be treated as an alternative use of the eligible recipient&amp;#146;s formula funding. Distribution of such funds among sub-recipients is subject to Federal planning requirements and will require coordination between the designated recipient(s), MPO, and other direct recipients of FTA funds. Funds sub-allocated to direct recipients within a UZA will be included in their FTA grants. Procurements to which these 5307 funds are applied must comply with Federal procurement requirements and include all applicable Federal procurement clauses. Recipients, if selected to use this provision, will be required to obligate funds no later than September 30, 2012. Once funds are obligated, they will remain available until expended; funds can be requested for the applicant&amp;#146;s current fiscal year plus one additional year. FTA does not plan to reallocate funding caps under this provision after it has been initially distributed.Eligible designated recipients of Section 5307 funding that are interested in using funds under this provision are encouraged to become familiar with using grants.gov and are advised to monitor the site for the upcoming solicitation of interest. In addition, FTA recommends that grantees register for email updates on the Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program the FTA website.</Description>

        <Description>The Statewide Family Network Program builds on the work of SAMHSA&amp;#146;s Center for Mental Health Services which helped to establish a child and family focus in programs serving children and adolescents with mental health challenges around the country. Today, nearly every state has active family organizations dedicated to promoting systems of care that are responsive to the needs of children and adolescents with mental health challenges and their families. Although significant progress has been made, further support will ensure self-sufficient, empowered networks that will effectively participate in State and local mental health services planning and health care reform activities related to improving community-based services for children and adolescents with mental health challenges and their families. SAMHSA has demonstrated that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. Behavioral health services improve health status and reduce health care and other costs to society. Continued improvement in the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services provides a cost effective opportunity to advance and protect the nation&amp;#146;s health. To continue to improve the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services, SAMHSA has identified eight Strategic Initiatives to focus the Agency&amp;#146;s work on improving lives and capitalizing on emerging opportunities. The Statewide Family Network program closely aligns with SAMHSA&amp;#146;s Recovery Support Strategic Initiative. As part of the Strategic Initiative, SAMHSA funded the Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS-TACS) to promote the widespread adoption of recovery concepts and practices throughout the United States. The BRSS-TACS will help facilitate the dissemination of information among consumer, family, and youth about health care reform initiated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The Statewide Family Network Program grants are authorized under 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>SAMHSA is limiting eligibility for this program to mental health consumer-controlled  organizations only that are domestic public and private nonprofit entities, tribal and urban indian organizations, and/or community- and faith-based organizations.  A primary goal of the program is to strengthen the capacity of consumers to act as agents of transformation in influencing the type and amount of services, so they must be an integral part of an organization that supports individuals with a serious mental illness or who have received public mental health services, and ensures that their mental health care is consumer driven with access to recovery support services.  Therefore, only organizations controlled and managed by mental health consumers are eligible to apply.  Consumer-controlled organizations must meet the following requirements:   &amp;#149; An applicant organization must complete the Certificate of Eligibility (see Appendix K of the RFA) indicating that the applicant meets all eligibility requirements.      In order to strengthen and expand the impact of this program across the nation and ensure broad geographic distribution, SAMHSA will make only one award per state, territory, or tribe and is limiting eligibility to applicants in states, territories, and tribes that do not have a currently funded Statewide Consumer Network grant.  See Appendix L of the RFA for a listing of states, territories, and tribes with a currently funded Statewide Consumer Network grant.  Organizations located in these jurisdictions are not eligible to apply.  Tribes, regardless of location, are eligible to apply providing they do not have a currently funded grant.   </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The purpose of this program is to improve mental health service delivery to people with serious mental illnesses. In so doing, it seeks to enhance statewide mental health consumer-run and -controlled organizations to promote service system capacity and infrastructure development that is consumer-driven, recovery-focused and resiliency&amp;#172;-oriented. The program goals are (1) to increase consumer participation, voice, and empowerment statewide; (2) emphasize and build consumer leadership within organizations and in the community; and (3) promote activities related to: partnership development, peer support, service needs related to gender, training and skills development, trauma-informed peer support, integrated care and wellness, and/or health reform as part of the recovery process for consumers. The Statewide Consumer Network program also seeks to address the needs of underserved and under-represented consumers, including those from ethnic, racial, or cultural minority groups, service needs related to gender, veterans, those who have histories of chronic homelessness, those with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, young adults, sexual orientation and gender identity minority individuals, and those who have been involved in the criminal justice system. SAMHSA has demonstrated that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. Behavioral health services improve health status and reduce health care and other costs to society. Continued improvement in the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services provides a cost effective opportunity to advance and protect the nation&amp;#146;s health. To continue to improve the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services, SAMHSA has identified six Strategic Initiatives to focus the Agency&amp;#146;s work on improving lives and capitalizing on emerging opportunities. The Statewide Consumer Network program closely aligns with SAMHSA&amp;#146;s Recovery Support Strategic Initiative. As part of the Strategic Initiative, SAMHSA funded the Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS-TACS) to promote the widespread adoption of recovery concepts and practices throughout the United States. The BRSS-TACS will help facilitate the dissemination of information among consumers, families, and youth about health care reform initiated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

        <CategoryExplanation>The objective of this project is to complete two totem poles that will be placed in front of the Tribal House to identify the building as belonging to all the Huna Clans.      The totem poles are required to complete the Tribal House, slated for construction from 2014-2016.  Landscape architectural plans for the Tribal House site include placement of up to five totem poles.  HIA has the cultural expertise, traditional craftsmen skills, and cultural authority to complete the totem poles.      The completion of the totem poles will also provide an opportunity to gather, compile, and preserve relevant ethnographic information from published literature, oral history audio/video recordings, and ongoing elder interviews regarding the history and culture of the Huna Tlingit clans.  The project will also provide a venue for skilled craftsmen to pass traditional skills associated with form line design, carving, and adzing to another generation.  The Master and Assistant Carvers will provide weekly instruction to Hoonah City Schools (HCS) students, other community youth, and community members.  Importantly, the carving work site will serve as an informal classroom where craftsmen convey not only traditional skills, but also oral histories, life ways, and Tlingit laws and protocols.  Traditionally, resource gathering activities in homeland were one means by which tribal elders transmitted traditional knowledge, cultural practices, and social mores to tribal youth.  Unfortunately, an array of social and regulatory changes has drawn the Tlingit away from their traditional seasonal rounds in Glacier Bay, reducing opportunities for intergenerational learning.  NPS believes that these ethnographic resources will be preserved by providing a venue that closely mirrors the traditional learning structure of the Tlingit whereby older relatives (uncles, grandfathers, etc.) conveyed traditional knowledge to youth in the course of everyday work.      As the federally recognized tribal government of the Huna Tlingit, HIA is responsible for preserving the tribe&amp;#146;s culture and values and maintaining its spiritual ties to traditional territories, including lands within Glacier Bay National Park.

        <Description>The objective of this project is to complete two totem poles that will be placed in front of the Tribal House to identify the building as belonging to all the Huna Clans. The totem poles are required to complete the Tribal House, slated for construction from 2014-2016. Landscape architectural plans for the Tribal House site include placement of up to five totem poles. HIA has the cultural expertise, traditional craftsmen skills, and cultural authority to complete the totem poles. The completion of the totem poles will also provide an opportunity to gather, compile, and preserve relevant ethnographic information from published literature, oral history audio/video recordings, and ongoing elder interviews regarding the history and culture of the Huna Tlingit clans. The project will also provide a venue for skilled craftsmen to pass traditional skills associated with form line design, carving, and adzing to another generation. The Master and Assistant Carvers will provide weekly instruction to Hoonah City Schools (HCS) students, other community youth, and community members. Importantly, the carving work site will serve as an informal classroom where craftsmen convey not only traditional skills, but also oral histories, life ways, and Tlingit laws and protocols. Traditionally, resource gathering activities in homeland were one means by which tribal elders transmitted traditional knowledge, cultural practices, and social mores to tribal youth. Unfortunately, an array of social and regulatory changes has drawn the Tlingit away from their traditional seasonal rounds in Glacier Bay, reducing opportunities for intergenerational learning. NPS believes that these ethnographic resources will be preserved by providing a venue that closely mirrors the traditional learning structure of the Tlingit whereby older relatives (uncles, grandfathers, etc.) conveyed traditional knowledge to youth in the course of everyday work.

HIA has been collaborating with the NPS to develop the Huna Tribal House, including a range of cultural elements for the facility. In previous years, NPS and HIA have cooperatively produced an interior house screen, four house posts, and a house front for the Tribal House. Both parties recognize that the project will not only result in tangible products including totem poles and utilitarian items to adorn the Tribal House interior, but will also provide a venue for transmitting cultural knowledge to tribal youth and will strengthen the partnerships between NPS and HIA. The NPS and HIA now wish to cooperatively complete two totem poles for the Huna Tribal House to convey the rich history and culture of the Huna Tlingit to the thousands of park visitors and tribal members who will visit the site for years to come. The project will result in two poles, between 15 feet and 24 feet tall, but will also provide numerous intangible benefits including the training of community youth and other tribal members. </Description>

        <Description>Health centers improve the health of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services. Health Center Program grants support a variety of community-based and patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that serve an increasing number of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved. Individually, each health center plays an important role in the goal of ensuring access to services, and combined, they have had a critical impact on the health care status of medically underserved and vulnerable populations throughout the United States and its territories. The Health Center Program targets the Nation&amp;#191;s neediest populations and geographic areas by currently funding approximately 1,300 health centers that operate over 9,000 service delivery sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In 2013, more than 21 million patients, including medically underserved and uninsured patients, received comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services through the Health Center Program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Health Center Program&amp;#191;s Service Area Competition &amp;#191; Additional Areas (SAC-AA). The FOA details the SAC-AA eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations seeking a grant for operational support of an announced service area under the Health Center Program, including Community Health Center (CHC &amp;#191; section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC &amp;#191; section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH &amp;#191; section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC &amp;#191; section 330(i)). For the purposes of this document, the term &amp;#191;health center&amp;#191; refers to the diverse types of health centers (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and /or PHPC) supported under section 330 of the PHS Act, as amended.</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Perinatal and Infant Oral Health Quality Improvement (PIOHQI) Expansion Grant Program, the second phase of the Perinatal and Infant Oral Health National Initiative. The goal of this grant program, as with this multi-phase initiative, is to reduce the prevalence of oral disease in both pregnant women and infants through improved access to quality oral health care. By targeting pregnant women and infants most at risk for disease, during times of increased health care access, the expected result is improved oral health and oral health care utilization of the mother and her child throughout their lifespan. Oral health is an essential component in promoting and maintaining overall health during pregnancy and throughout one&amp;#191;s lifetime. Ultimately, by linking the delivery of oral health with primary care, the overall well-being of pregnant women and infants will be improved. At the end of this funding period, awardees will have defined and implemented evidenced-based models used to successfully integrate quality oral health care into perinatal and infant primary health care delivery systems with statewide reach. These models will: reduce prevalence of oral disease in pregnant women and infants, ultimately reducing Early Childhood Caries (ECC); increase utilization of preventive dental care by pregnant women; establish a dental homexii,xiii for infants (by age one); and reduce dental expenditures. Lessons learned from implementing these state models will be used to develop the National Implementation Framework for Improved Perinatal and Infant Oral Health. As a guide, this framework will support state stakeholders (i.e., government leaders, oral health professionals, community and state health program directors, and others) in their efforts to: (1) expand opportunities for access to direct oral health services; (2) increase delivery of best practices for oral health care, including oral health clinical competencies of primary care providersxiv; (3) enhance statewide data sources, making available &amp;#191;real time&amp;#191; data with common oral health metrics; and (4) support sustainability, including state policy and legislation changes to ensure sufficient reimbursement. Specific to sustainability after the period of Federal funding ends, awardees are expected to sustain key elements of their grant projects (e.g., strategies or services and interventions, which have been effective in increasing access to quality oral health care and improving the oral health status of the target populations). Sustainability can be achieved in various ways, including both Federal and/or state funding support, private-public partnerships, self-generating revenue. Oral health care includes, but is not limited to, oral health education, fluoride treatment, dental sealants, dental cleaning/prophylaxis, and dental restorative services. Through collaborations that lead to public and private partnerships, awardees will expand opportunities for direct access to oral health services in safety net settings, such as: community health centers, university dental training programs, private offices, and public health clinics. This collaboration could lead to changes in policy that ensure sufficient reimbursement to health professionals. Access to oral health services can also be supported through mutual agreements with health care service systems that serve pregnant women and infants, including the Supplemental Nutrition for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Head Start, Home Visiting, Healthy Start, and Title V programs. Ultimately, such concurrence will result in an increase in referrals for the much needed direct oral health care. Valid and timely data is essential in measuring the success of new programs and in crafting policy. One example of such a data source is the National Oral Health Surveillance System[i] (NOHSS), developed through collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD). The NOHSS is designed to track oral health surveillance indicators based on data sources and surveillance capacity available to most states. Yet, despite the efforts of CDC and ASTDD, there are limits to this data source: only 42 states currently add data to the NOHSS and data from 10 of the 42 states are over five years old.xv This FOA addresses approaches the awardees will use to enhance and/or develop statewide data sources to provide &amp;#191;real time&amp;#191; data with common metrics, ideally building upon current data infrastructures. MCHB encourages the awardees to use the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS)[ii] given that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010x amended section 399LL-2(d) of the Public Health Service Act directs the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to include oral health in PRAMS [i] National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Oral Health and Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors.

        <Description>This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Fiscal Year 2014 (FY14) Defense Medical Research and Development Program (DMRDP), Joint Program Committee 1 (JPC-1), Medical Simulation and Information Sciences Research Program (MSIS), Team Performance Training (TPT) Research Initiative. The FY14 TPT Research Initiative seeks to support research into the design, plan, and components of an effective, efficient, interactive, user-friendly, evidence-based team performance trainer with automated assessment technology, which will improve team performance in delivery of healthcare with the overall goal of reducing medical errors/adverse events, and improving patient safety and healthcare outcomes. Focus on single-user interactive experiences is encouraged, but the FY14 TPT Research Initiative does not limit research to just single-user interactive experiences. The proposed automated assessment technology should analyze the individual&amp;#146;s (and other team members&amp;#146;) performance within a team situation/scenario and provide guidance toward optimal behaviors with the overall goal of reducing medical errors and improving healthcare outcomes. The primary goal is to perform critical research to gain knowledge on an optimal, best-practice, evidence-based framework, design, plan, and components to obtain optimal team performance training models, and to document, analyze, and report the knowledge and information regarding the nature and extent of improved communication skills and team performance in healthcare training simulation systems. Research supported by this funding opportunity should provide the fundamental knowledge, potential frameworks, designs and plans, and recommendations (both clinical and technical) to support the future development of an interactive team performance training system that can assess the downstream effects of the individual&amp;#146;s, as well as the team&amp;#146;s, behaviors and medical decisions have on patient safety outcomes.</Description>

        <Description>The FWS Ecological Services Program provides Federal financial assistance on a competitive basis to States, other Federal agencies, landowners, educators, non-profit organizations, researchers, and other partners to secure information about endangered, threatened or candidate species, to aid in the recovery of these species, to avert listing of species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, and to help conserve the ecosystems upon which these species depend. The FWS and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which is part of the Department of Commerces NOAA Fisheries office, share Endangered Species Act responsibilities for several species such as sea turtles. We have responsibility for sea turtles when they are on land, and NMFS has responsibility for sea turtles when they are in the water. Projects for NMFS-managed species are not included in this funding opportunity.This Recovery Implementation funding opportunity is intended for projects that will contribute to the recovery of FWS-managed endangered and threatened species in the United States, and is limited to projects carrying out actions described in a species approved recovery plan, in the implementation schedule of a species approved recovery plan, actions recommended in a completed 5-year status review of the species or in a spotlight species action plan, or projects documenting species response to climate change. For example: securing scientific information about endangered or threatened species, implementing restoration actions that will lead to delisting of a species, help prevent extinction of a species, or aid in the recovery of a species. Projects that address species response to climate change will receive additional consideration.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of State seeks proposals from a consortium of qualified organizations for sustainable pilot projects that focus on all of the following key objectives: - Increase Sustainability of Women&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#131;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s Protection Centers: Partner with women&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#131;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s shelters to develop and pilot income-generating market-driven initiatives to increase the sustainability of shelter operations. (Particular attention should be paid to ensuring the confidentiality and safety of shelter beneficiaries in the development of these initiatives.) - Build Leadership Skills: Improve the ability of women and girls in shelters to successfully navigate and reintegrate into Afghan society through mentoring, educational opportunities (commensurate with education levels), and training focused on fostering self-confidence, including financial literacy. - Increase Economic Independence of Shelter Beneficiaries: Increase and improve opportunities for income generation or employment for shelter beneficiaries, including but not limited to the service sector, by providing on-the-job training, vocational skills, internships, mentoring, and practical career-building skills that enable them to engage in economic activity with competitive and practical skills, reflecting cultural and market conditions. Special consideration will also be given to programs that: 1) align with Afghanistans policies to prevent and respond to gender-based violence; and 2) develop partnerships between local organizations currently operating women&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#131;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s shelters and relevant stakeholders through the public and private sector that could provide apprenticeships or job opportunities commensurate with vocational skills training.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this notice is to solicit grant proposals from eligible organizations to educate the public about the issue of marine debris through dedicated activities to prevent the introduction of marine debris including, but not limited to: 1) encouraging changes in behavior to reduce and address marine debris; 2) developing and implementing activities to reduce and prevent marine debris working with students, teachers, industries, and the public; and 3) engaging the public in active, personal participation (e.g. a small-scale shoreline cleanup with students or other hands-on activities, etc.). This document describes the types of marine debris projects that NOAA envisions and explains the criteria used to evaluate applications for funding consideration. Selected proposals will be funded through cooperative agreements. There is a one-to-one match requirement for all proposals. Typical project awards will range from $30,000 - $75,000. NOAA will NOT accept proposals with a budget less than $15,000 or more than $100,000 under this solicitation. The anticipated number of awards ranges from five to twelve. Applications shall cover a performance period between one and two years. The selection process is anticipated to be highly competitive with limited funding available compared to the amount requested. Total funding of up to $750,000 is expected to be available to fund marine debris prevention through education and outreach projects in FY 2015. Funding is contingent upon the availability of FY 2015 appropriations. This call is focused on efforts to prevent marine debris from entering the environment through education and outreach, as described above. It is not intended for project proposals centered on large-scale debris removal, mechanisms to reduce debris (e.g. catchment basins), or scientific research.

        <Description>This ROSES-2014 NRA (NNH14ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#146;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat, and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Table 2, organized by due date, can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table2 and Table 3, organized by subject area can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table3. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2015, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES-2014 NRA will be available at:http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2014 Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#191;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00015 Project Title ANSWERING ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT QUESTIONS FOR AQUATIC RESOURCES IN NATIONAL PARKS USING GIS AND REMOTE SENSING TOOLS Recipient Colorado State University Principle Investigator / Program Manager Dr. Brian Bledsoe Total Anticipated Award Amount $511,183.00 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement P14AC00728 RM-CESU Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 12/21/2019 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 12/21/2019 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1(g) 16 USC 1a-2(j) 16 USC 5933 CFDA # and Title Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW The Water Resources Division (WRD) is one of eight divisions that make up the Natural Resource Stewardship and Science (NRSS) Directorate of the NPS. WRD was established to provide service wide program management and specialized advice and assistance to parks in the protection and management of water resources. The Division is comprised of four branches: Aquatic Systems, Ocean and Coastal Resources, Planning &amp;amp; Information, and Water Rights. The Ocean and Coastal Resources Branch of the National Park Service Water Resources Division is tasked to, &amp;#191;Discover, map and protect ocean parks&amp;#191; by the 2007 Ocean Park Stewardship Action Plan. The Branch provides technical assistance to coastal parks without access to the specialized skills that this position will provide. Technical assistance requests from ocean and Great Lakes parks typically focus on landscape level analyses of critical resources. The interdisciplinary nature of this effort requires the programmatic integration of the knowledge of biological and physical resources, digital cartography, and geography for the development, analysis and use of geographic and relational databases that are pertinent to aquatic park resources and themes. GIS and remote sensing will be used to document, analyze and integrate the management of natural and cultural resources in their environmental context or to manage the environment in the context of the resources. Work products will be provided to the public and park staff on NPS Websites and other publications. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Colorado State University agrees to: Work collaboratively with NPS staff, other federal, state and local agencies, affiliates, academia, and public (as appropriate) to complete data acquisition and analysis, reports and recommendations, project plans, multiple mapping products and user and technical documentation to assist NPS with answering park management questions related to water quality, quantity and related habitats for NPS aquatic resources. The work will be accomplished primarily by one or more Colorado State University Research Associates. Provide student help on potential upcoming projects as needed. CSU cooperators may ride in NPS vehicles when required to participate or complete project work. Travel may be required NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: NPS agrees to: Define and coordinate aquatic project needs for parks, regions and the Washington Support Office. Collaborate on this project with the CSU research associates and students under the supervision of Primary Investigators. The NPS will provide office space and other material support for the cooperators and will provide the needed data and equipment to allow the researchers to perform their work and publish the products for university affiliates, partners, and the public. NPS staff and CSU researchers will participate in cooperative teams that may be led by either party. Close working relationships with outside partners and affiliates and substantial involvement of multiple programs will be required for success. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This is a Task Agreement (P15AC00066) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) in the amount of $93,837.00 with a period of performance from date of award until XX/XX/XXXX. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State University and the NPS is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network.&amp;quot; Also, on the SF 424 forms that the partner sponsored programs office fills out for each project, requires a CFDA number - 15.945, which is the number associated with the CFDA Title: COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND TRAINING PROGRAMS - RESOURCES OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE (CESU). STATUTORY AUTHORITY 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1g authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements that involve the transfer of NPS appropriated funds to state, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1a-2(j) Cooperative research and training programs authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements with public or private educational institutions, states, and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing adequate, coordinated, cooperative research and training programs concerning the resources of the national park system. Pursuant to such agreements, the cooperator may accept from or make available to the NPS technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and equipment, facilities, and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate (research projects subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation excluded). Modified 5/31/05 &amp;#191; Agreement Handbook Memorandum Number 2 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167;5933, Cooperative Study Units, authorizes and directs the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, including but not limited to land grant schools, in partnership with other federal and state agencies, to establish cooperative study units to conduct multi-disciplinary research and develop integrated information products on the resources of the national park system, or the larger region of which parks are a part. </Description>

        <Description>The Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program provides support for independent graduate-level studies in oceanography, marine biology, or maritime archaeology (including all science, engineering, social science and resource management of ocean and coastal areas), particularly to women and minorities. Individuals who are U.S. citizens and are applying to or have been accepted to a graduate program at a U.S. accredited institution may apply. Prospective scholars do not need to be enrolled in a graduate program at the time of application, but must be admitted to a graduate level program in order to be awarded this scholarship. Scholarship selections are based on academic excellence, letters of recommendations, research and career goals, and financial need. Applicants must have and maintain a minimum 3.0 grade point average each academic term and cumulatively and maintain full-time student status for the duration of the scholarship. Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarships may provide, subject to appropriations, yearly support of up to $42,000 per student (a 12-month stipend of $30,000 in addition to an education allowance of up to $12,000), and up to $10,000 support for a four to six week research collaboration at a NOAA facility. A maximum of $94,000 may be provided to master degree students (up to 2 years of support and one research collaboration opportunity) and up to $188,000 may be provided to doctoral students (up to 4 years of support and two research collaboration opportunities). Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program recipients will be required to participate in a NOAA Orientation training and to meet with Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) staff at a date and location to be determined during the month of June, 2012. If scholarships have not been awarded before this mandatory training, recipients may be required to incur pre award costs that will be reimbursed after award funds have been issued. Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship recipients will also be required to participate in a research collaboration opportunity at a NOAA facility during their scholarship. Master&amp;apos;s degree candidates will be supported for one research collaboration opportunity, and Doctoral candidates will be supported for up to two research collaboration opportunities over the duration of the scholarship. The research collaboration opportunity is designed to allow scholars to participate in research activities for four to six weeks at a field office of the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, or other NOAA program offices. Scholars are required to provide their own health insurance coverage during the research collaboration. Pending availability of funding, the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries may hold a biennial Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Symposium to discuss recipient research projects and further collaborative efforts with the ONMS. Current and past recipients of the scholarship may be eligible to receive travel support. Federal support for the research opportunity may be used toward allowable costs such as: travel to and from the NOAA facility, housing, per diem, laboratory costs, research vessel support, instruments while conducting research at the NOAA facility. Applicants who are awarded the Nancy Foster Scholarship will identify their research collaboration opportunity(s) topic and NOAA facility during the initial scholarship year. Approval from NOAA&amp;apos;s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is required prior to embarking on the research collaboration. Additional Information about the scholarship can be obtained in the full announcement text of the Federal Funding Opportunity. </Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications to fund up to two patient-centered comparative effectiveness clinical trials using a UH2/UH3 cooperative agreement mechanism. This initiative is supported by the Hypertension Disparities Reduction Program Partnership (HDRPP), a research partnership between NHLBI, NINDS, and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), with funds provided by PCORI to the NIH. The research initiative aims to reduce disparities in hypertension, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease that disproportionately affects certain populations including racial and ethnic minorities, individuals with low socioeconomic status, and rural communities. Approximately 30% of adults in the U.S. have hypertension, and of these, more than half have uncontrolled hypertension. The purpose of the FOA is to compare alternative, evidence-based approaches to reduce inadequate control of hypertension among high risk populations, including racial/ethnic minority groups, patients with low socioeconomic status (SES), and individuals residing in rural geographical areas with an above average lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). </Description>

        <Description>This is a modification to a single-source funding opportunity for concept engineering designs (30 percent level) and for associated water infrastructure (groundwater well, water control structures) for hydrologic improvement and wetland/riparian habitat restoration for the Valle De Oro National Wildlife Refuge and Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Using existing data and information provided by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and partners, Ducks Unlimited (DU) will develop conceptual plans for various wetland and habitat features. DU will work closely with refuge staff and other contracted firms working on the refuge development and will engage in at a minimum bi-weekly check-ins and will make at minimum one trip to the refuge for background data collection and guidance from refuge staff. DU will be asked to coordinate with other contracted firms working on this project both directly and through the project leader/officer. Valle de Oro NWR has recently signed a Memo of Understanding with the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) for the creation of wetland habitat at Valle de Oro NWR and for the creation of South Western Willow Flycatcher habitat at Sevilleta NWR. These projects are being conducted to provide Reclamation with these types of habitat in association with Valle de Oro NWR. The wetland habitat can be created on-site. It has been determined that restoration at Sevilleta NWR holds the best promise for creating viable Southwestern Willow Flycatcher habitat at a NWR within the Middle Rio Grande. This project will be directly tied into the mission of Valle de Oro NWR through education and outreach program at the new refuge as it relates to the conservation of the Middle Rio Grande and our partnership with Reclamation. DU will work cooperatively with the Service staff to: 1) design and install a groundwater supply well at Valle de Oro NWR; 2) purchase any additional water management infrastructure that the parties cooperatively decide is needed for the Valle de Oro NWR; 3) purchase a water control structure for Sevilleta NWR to enhance and restore a wetland for Southwestern Willow Flycatcher; and 4) provide additional engineering design work for Valle de Oro NWR beyond the 30 percent level. The Service, as the primary landowner and manager of Valle de Oro NWR and Sevilleta NWR, seeks to: a) transform much of Valle de Oro NWR&amp;#191;s undeveloped lands to provide optimal and dependable habitat for resident and migratory wildlife, as well as provide floodplain management opportunities and services to the residents of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County and b) improve the ability to manage a wetland at Sevilleta NWR for the benefit of endangered species by purchasing a water control structure. The Service has substantial involvement in all aspects of this project to improve habitat in association with the Valle de Oro and Sevilleta NWRs. The Service will be working on the ground with DU in collaboration with designing and installing the groundwater supply well at Valle de Oro NWR and the design work for Sevilleta NWR. This includes: a) providing information on desired habitat at Valle de Oro and Sevilleta NWR; b) providing baseline data on the groundwater, surface water and topography at Valle de Oro NWR; c) providing results from wetland workshops for Valle de Oro NWR and Sevilleta NWR; d) providing information on aquifer properties and optimal production zones for a new well at Valle de Oro NWR; and e) providing information on gate size and necessary characteristics for an irrigation gate at Sevilleta NWR.</Description>

        <Description>The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to establish an Air TransportationCenter of Excellence (COE) for General Aviation (GA) in fiscal year 2012. The goal ofthis endeavor is to create a cost sharing partnership between academia, industry, andgovernment that will focus on general aviation safety related topics.To enhance its research efforts, in 2010, the FAA proposed the establishment of a newCOE for GA designed to advance general aviation technology to meet the needs of the U.S. general aviation industry in the short- and long-term. Over the next decade, the COE for GA is expected to forge a union between the public and private sectors and to create a world-class consortium that will identify solutions to existing and anticipated issues. The FAA expects the COE to perform various types of general aviation related research, ranging from basic to applied, through a variety of analyses, development, and prototyping activities.To this end, the FAA is soliciting proposals from accredited institutions of highereducation with partners and affiliates positioned to join the FAA in supporting a newCOE for GA. Upon completion of the competitive process, the FAA will enter into cooperative agreements with core university members and award matching grants toestablish, operate and conduct general aviation research.As a result of the COE competitive process, the FAA also plans to award indefinitedelivery indefinite quantity contracts (IDIQ) to the successful COE team. The FAA intends to fund the COE through a combination of matching grants for public purpose and, as appropriate, issue contract delivery orders on a cost reimbursement and/or fixed price basis.The Office of Primary Interest (OPI) for this Center of Excellence is the Aviation Research Division located at the William. J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC). This organization intends to invest a minimum of $500,000 per year during the first five years of the COE agreement.</Description>

        <Description>The Fellowship Program expects to award at least two new PhD Fellowships in 2015 to students who are interested in careers related to marine ecosystem and population dynamics, with a focus on modeling and managing systems of living marine resources. The emphasis will be on the development and implementation of quantitative methods for assessing marine ecosystems, for assessing the status of fish, invertebrate, and other targeted species stocks and for assessing the status of marine mammals, seabirds, and other protected species. Fellows will work on thesis problems of public interest and relevance to NMFS under the guidance of National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) mentors at participating NMFS Science Centers or Offices. The NMFS-Sea Grant Fellowship in Population and Ecosystem Dynamics meets NOAA&amp;apos;s Healthy Oceans goal of &amp;quot;Marine fisheries, habitats, biodiversity sustained with healthy and productive ecosystems&amp;quot;. The expected annual award per Fellow will be $43,500 (federal plus matching funds), of which half ($21,750) is expected to be provided by NOAA Fisheries, and the other half is expected to be provided by Sea Grant federal funds and required associated matching funds.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the NCI Mentored Clinical Scientist Career Development Award (K08) program is to prepare individuals for careers that have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation. This program represents the continuation of a long-standing NIH program that provides support and protected time to individuals with a clinical doctoral degree for an intensive, supervised research career development experience in the fields of biomedical and behavioral research, including translational research. The NCI-sponsored K08 award is specifically designed to promote career development of clinical scientists from diverse backgrounds that have been shown to be underrepresented in health-related science and for those who are committed to a career in basic biomedical, behavioral or translational cancer research, including research on cancer health disparities. The expectation is that through this sustained period of research career development and training, awardees will develop enhanced research capabilities for cancer research careers and be better prepared to compete for research project grants (e.g. R03, R21, or R01) funding.</Description>

        <Description>This program is designed to fund the implementation of innovative digital-humanities projects that have successfully completed a start-up phase and demonstrated their value to the field. Such projects might enhance our understanding of central problems in the humanities, raise new questions in the humanities, or develop new digital applications and approaches for use in the humanities. The program can support innovative digital-humanities projects that address multiple audiences, including scholars, teachers, librarians, and the public. Applications from recipients of NEH&amp;#191;s Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants are welcome. Unlike NEH&amp;#191;s start-up grant program, which emphasizes basic research, prototyping, experimentation, and potential impact, the Digital Humanities Implementation Grants program seeks to identify projects that have successfully completed their start-up phase and are well positioned to have a major impact. Proposals are welcome for digital initiatives in any area of the humanities. Digital Humanities Implementation Grants may involve &amp;#191; research that brings new approaches or documents best practices in the study of the digital humanities; &amp;#191; implementation of computationally-based methods or techniques for humanities research; &amp;#191; implementation of new digital tools for use in humanities research, public programming, or educational settings; &amp;#191; efforts to ensure the completion and long-term sustainability of existing digital resources (typically in conjunction with a library or archive); &amp;#191; scholarship that examines the history, criticism, and philosophy of digital culture and its impact on society; &amp;#191; scholarship or studies that examine the philosophical or practical implications of the use of emerging technologies in specific fields or disciplines of the humanities, or in interdisciplinary collaborations involving several fields or disciplines; or &amp;#191; implementation of new digital modes of scholarly communication that facilitate peer review, collaboration, or the dissemination of humanities scholarship for various audiences. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to support clinical trials to evaluate Asthma Care Implementation Programs (ACIP) that provide comprehensive care for children at high risk of poor asthma outcomes. The community-based ACIPs are expected to address the needs of the U.S. community in which the study will be conducted and integrate interventions with demonstrated efficacy from four different sectors (medical care, family, home, and community). Applications must include a trial designed to assess if the ACIP improves asthma outcomes relative to an appropriate comparator(s) and a subsequent period of observation to evaluate sustainability. While there are several other necessary elements of the trials, it is critical that the outcomes/endpoints include measures of the process used to implement the evidence based interventions. The ACIP will involve investigators who have established collaborations with representatives from the four sectors who have committed resources to the ACIP. Given the potential impact of the interventions on the local community, the sustainability of the program will be formally assessed during the project period. Finally, investigators must plan for dissemination of the program beyond their own community. This initiative is designed as a cooperative agreement to enable collaboration among investigators on the implementation metrics to be used, the quality improvement efforts to be conducted throughout the funding period, and how to establish best practices. </Description>

        <Description>The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces the availability of approximately $5 million in funding provided by the Public Transportation on Indian Reservations Program (Tribal Transit Program (TTP)), as authorized by 49 U.S.C. Section 5311(j), as amended by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), Public Law 112-41 (July 6, 2012). This is a national solicitation for project proposals and includes the selection criteria and program eligibility information for Fiscal Year 2014 projects. FTA may choose to fund the program for more or less than the announcement amount, including applying any FY 2015 appropriations or other funding toward projects proposed in response to the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The primary purpose of these competitively selected grants is to support planning, capital, and, in limited circumstances, operating assistance for tribal public transit services. Funds distributed to Indian tribes under the TTP should NOT replace or reduce funds that Indian tribes receive from States through FTA&amp;#146;s Section 5311 program. Priority consideration will be given to eligible projects that help to expand ladders of opportunity. Examples could include enhancing access to work, educational, and other training opportunities, and supporting partnerships that expand access to other governmental, health, medical, education, social, human service, and transportation providers to improve coordinated delivery of services.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the FY 2015 Jovenes en Accion (Youth in Action), an exchange program for Mexican high school students. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to provide participants with a four-week summer exchange program in the United States focused on civic education, community service, and youth leadership development and to support the implementation of service projects in their home communities. This program will be funded as a joint initiative between the U.S. Department of State, the Mexican government, and the private sector. U.S. Embassy Mexico City (or an implementing partner of its choosing) will recruit, screen, and select the participants. ECA funding will support U.S.-based activities for approximate ly 20-25 participants to take place during summer 2015. U.S. Embassy Mexico City anticipates additional funding to increase the total number of participants to 100 students; proposals should indicate the applicant&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s ability in hosting up to 100 students and managing funding from multiple sources. Pending the availability of funds, it is the Bureau&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s intent to award one cooperative agreement for one base year plus two option years for an estimated total amount of $600,000.</Description>

        <Description>&amp;#147;Gender-based violence is a threat to peace, security, and dignity everywhere,&amp;#148; Secretary of State Kerry said in his recent message at the &amp;#147;Call to Action&amp;#148; on protection from gender-based violence (GBV). According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), almost 50 % of all sexual assaults worldwide are against girls 15 and younger. GBV, particularly sexual violence, is a serious issue on college campuses. Women with disabilities are two to three times more likely to suffer physical and sexual abuse than women with no disability. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons also face heightened risk. Regardless of the form that GBV takes, it undermines not only the safety, dignity, overall health status, and human rights of the millions of individuals who experience it, but also the public health, economic stability, and security of nations. Under the leadership of President Barack Obama, the United States has put gender equality and the advancement of women and girls as a high priority of U.S. foreign policy. Preventing and responding to gender based violence is a cornerstone of the Administration&amp;#146;s commitment to advancing gender equality. Vice President Biden, who authored the Violence Against Women Act while in the Senate, has been a leader in efforts to end violence against women and girls for two decades. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the current USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah also have been tireless advocates for ending gender-based violence, and have elevated this issue as a foreign policy. Over the years, the United States has made significant progress in its efforts to address GBV, including through the development of the U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security, PEPFAR&amp;#146;s (U.S. President&amp;#146;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) GBV Scale-Up Initiative and Evaluation, the work of the President&amp;#146;s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, and efforts to incorporate GBV programming into humanitarian response activities. The first ever Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women&amp;#146;s Issues was designated by Secretary Clinton in April 2009 to work through the Department of State and its Missions worldwide to promote policies and programs that prevent and respond to GBV. To advance this commitment, the Public Affairs Sections of the U.S Consulates General in Chennai and Hyderabad are soliciting proposals to develop and implement best practices to prevent and respond to GBV issues, and particularly focus on community-based solutions, including community policing and assisting victims. Cooperation and coordination among police, business and community leaders and a well-designated community policing / neighborhood watch program may provide more eyes and ears, and lay the groundwork for deterrence, the proposals may include the following projects: &amp;#149; Develop and implement a community policing program in one or two localities to create a model of quality relationship between community groups, civilians and police and sensitize them on GBV issues; &amp;#149; Invite one or two experts from the U.S. to share the best community policing models on combating gender based violence with the police academies (National Police Academy in Hyderabad, the State Police Academies of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu Police Academy in Chennai) to develop a GBV prevention community policing strategy targeting geographic areas of particular vulnerability (e.g. university campus, electronic city zones, etc) &amp;#149; Develop a module and conduct workshops for administrators of the colleges and students to sensitize and strengthen their leadership in combating GBV on college campuses. Also invite or conduct virtual programs to share best practices in GBV prevention programs followed in the colleges/universities in the U.S. The main goal of this project is to raise awareness about the issue and promote programming that will strengthen Indian government&amp;#146;s efforts in combating GBV. A panel comprised of Consulates and Embassy staff members will review each complete proposal received before the application deadline. Please note that selected proposals will have to complete additional forms and registration documents within thirty days of notification in order to receive funding. The awardee is encouraged to seek and find additional funding for this conference, subject to approval by the U.S. Consulates General in Chennai and Hyderabad, and U.S. Embassy in New Delhi.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to support investigators planning a clinical trial to evaluate Asthma Care Implementation Programs (ACIP) for chidren at high risk of poor asthma outcomes. Investigators must propose an ACIP for this population that translates research into community practice by integrating interventions with demonstrated efficacy from multiple sectors into a comprehensive program. Each proposed evidence-based intervention within the ACIP must address at least one of the following different sectors that can contribute to a system of care for children: medical care, family, home, and community. During the project period, investigators will conduct a community needs assessment to ensure their proposed ACIP will meet the needs of children at high risk of poor asthma outcomes within their community in the U.S. Therefore, the proposed interventions may be modified based on the community needs assessment. As the interventions included in the ACIP are modified during the U34, the proposed clinical trial to evaluate the ACIP should also be adjusted and developed into a complete protocol. On the basis of the refined interventions from each of the requisite sectors, investigators must also solidify existing relationships or engage appropriate collaborators from each of the sectors who are able to identify resources they can commit to provide for the ACIP. By the conclusion of the U34, applicants should be prepared to apply for a U01 grant, described in RFA-HL-17-001, which will support the clinical trial, assessment of the sustainability of the interventions, and define best practices for implementation of interventions in children at high risk of poor asthma outcomes. </Description>

        <Description>The tasks to be performed under this agreement are as follows: Obtain nuclear gene sequence data from 25-40 samples representing all known species and divergent mtDNA lineages within the entire geographic distribution of the boreal toad species group. Obtain sequence data from the most informative nuclear genes from about 100 samples (already entirely or largely in-hand) representing the full known distribution of the Eastern Population and toads immediately surrounding the Eastern population in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Nevada. A third round of data collection and analyses from an estimated 100 samples will be conducted to refine the geographic boundaries of the major groups as needed, to confirm the divergence of specific groups of interest (e.g. SRM population, southern Utah), and to confirm divergence of any additional groups that may be discovered with the previous analyses in Objectives 1 and 2.</Description>

        <Description>The United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Georgia, requests applications from local Georgian non-governmental organizations for direct financial support for innovative programs to strengthen transparent and accountable governance in Georgia. USAID uses an Annual Program Statement (APS) to generate competition for awards when the Agency intends to support a variety of creative approaches and activities that contribute to the attainment of its strategic objectives. The overall goal of USAID&amp;#146;s Strengthening Transparent and Accountable Governance in Georgia through Direct Awards to Georgia&amp;#146;s Civil Society Organizations APS is to support activities of non-governmental organizations to increase civil society engagement and government transparency and accountability on key governance and policy issues. Strong democratic institutions and participatory, accountable governance are crucial elements for improving peoples&amp;#146; lives in a sustainable way. To achieve this goal, USAID intends to issue multiple awards under this APS to applicants who address the following objective: strengthen civil society engagement in governance and policy development processes that promote government transparency, accountability and access to information. This APS has been designed to seek relationships beyond traditional USAID norms by encouraging submissions from local partner organizations, including those who have never received direct funding from USAID. Subject to the availability of funds, USAID intends to provide grants of up to $250,000 with durations of up to 36 months related to transparent and accountable governance. </Description>

        <Description>Summary U.S. Embassy Santo Domingo announces an open call for concept papers from non-governmental organizations for innovative projects to reduce gender based violence (GBV) in the Dominican Republic in the range of 25,000 USD to 1,000,000 USD. Background Information: The U.S. Government seeks to support the Dominican government and civil society groups&amp;#146; efforts to reduce GBV and assist victims as it is both a violation of human rights and a serious public health issue. The number of Femicides has risen in 2014 while the overall murder rate has declined. According to the 2013 Demographic Health Survey (DHS), 17 percent of women between ages 15-49 experienced physical violence in the last twelve months and 26 percent experienced violence in their lives. In addition, 34 percent of women ages 15 - 49 reported at some point in their lives being victims of domestic abuse. Currently, there is no national level electronic database for tracking and monitoring cases or identifying repeat offenders of GBV. USAID&amp;#146;s policy goals are to work with judicial entities to improve processing and prosecution of GBV cases, improve case coordination in the criminal justice, and work with the health system to refer patients to the criminal justice system who may be victims of GBV. USAID/Dominican Republic will also work at the community level to increase the prosecution GBV and domestic violence offenses. Scope of the papers: We will consider proposals in the areas of: &amp;#149; Assistance and/or service delivery to victims of gender based violence &amp;#149; Programs or services to assist in the rehabilitation of perpetrators of gender based violence&amp;#149; Data collection projects on gender based violence&amp;#149; Community based outreach projects related to reducing gender based violence &amp;#149; Programs to raise public awareness about gender based violence &amp;#149; Sensitivity training for public officials (judges, police) on gender based violence Guidelines: Concept paper should be no longer than five pages plus attachments. Please see instructions (http://www.grants.gov/view-opportunity.html?oppId=270330). The program should run for no longer than one calendar year, with one option year. The applicant must demonstrate the commitment and ability to fund the program after grant support concludes. Selection criteria: Selection criteria include: innovation and effectiveness of strategy to reduce gender violence (50%), demonstrated management capacity and key personal (20%), sustainability of program (20%) and linkage to U.S. government policy gender based violence prevention goals (10%).Organizations whose concept papers are selected will be invited to submit proposals. Please send your concept papers to PreventGBV@state.gov no later than January 20, 2015. Issuance of this call for concept papers does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the U.S. Government, nor does it commit the U.S. Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of concept papers. Further, the U.S. government reserves the right to reject any or all concept papers received.</Description>

        <Description>The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the Department, or we), announces the availability of approximately $12,000,000.00 in grant funds authorized by Section 171, Pilot and Demonstration Projects, of the Workforce Investment Act, to: 1) test the effectiveness of expanding the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program for youth who have come in contact with the juvenile justice system for committing a status offense or a delinquent act (court-involved youth), and, 2) add and test an additional job training component (DOL Job ChalleNGe) to the program for court-involved youth and youth that have had no contact with the juvenile justice system (non-court-involved youth). The DOL Job ChalleNGe is to be part of the comprehensive National Guard Youth ChalleNGe program in which program participants, referred to as Cadets, receive military-based training, engage in supervised work experience, and complete eight core program components, during a six-month residential phase conducted on an active or closed National Guard base, training center, or school campus. The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe is operated by the National Guard Bureau and funded through a National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Cooperative Agreement executed by the United States Property and Fiscal Officer, National Guard Bureau, and The Adjutant General of a State, Commonwealth, District or Territory.Under this grant, and upon completion of the six-month residential phase, each Cadet will be matched with a mentor to help him or her prepare to re-enter community life during a 12-month mentorship phase. The 12-month mentorship phase will be non-residential, except for those Cadets who, at the start of the 12-month mentorship phase, elect to enroll in the five-month residential DOL Job ChalleNGe in order to receive additional vocational services. For this DOL Job ChalleNGe solicitation we expect to award up to $4,000,000 each to three (3) grantees totaling $12,000,000 with a period of performance of 42 months. During these 42 months, grantees will operate the DOL Job ChalleNGe, which will include a three-month planning period and facilitation of the 12-month mentoring phase. Applicants may not exceed a request of $4,000,000 to operate this DOL Job ChalleNGe, which will fund the planning period and the five-month residential DOL Job ChalleNGe phase. However, the six-month residential phase of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe program must be funded with funds obligated under the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Cooperative Agreement.</Description>

        <Description>Purpose. This AHRQ FOA solicits R21 Exploratory / Developmental grant applications that propose to build the scientific evidence base for effective public reporting for consumers through innovative, actionable studies that address pressing questions in the field. A number of studies suggest that consumers infrequent use of public reports of health care quality and resource use is due to reports poor design, irrelevant content, and inadequate dissemination, rather than a lack of consumer interest. Early evidence suggests that consumers want easy-to-understand, readily accessible reports that allow them to compare providers and sites of care based on quality and value at key decision points. In order for public reporting to be effective, reports need to provide consumers with transparent, timely information they can trust to help inform their conversations with providers and payers, and guide their health care decisions.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Postdoctoral Training in General, Pediatric, and Public Health Dentistry program. The purpose of this program is to improve access to, and the delivery of, oral health care services for all individuals, particularly low income, underserved, uninsured, underrepresented minority, health disparity, and rural populations. The goal of this FOA is to prepare postdoctoral trained dentists to practice in and lead new and innovative models of oral health care delivery to underserved and vulnerable groups, including programs that focus their activities at the population level. Applicants are encouraged to target their programs towards dentists who are likely to provide care for underserved groups and communities. Applicants will be required to develop or enhance integrated health care delivery systems that serve as training sites for postdoctoral dental trainees. Integrated systems should be demonstrated by partnerships with primary care delivery organizations and other community-based organizations. Integrated health care delivery systems should include: &amp;#183; Collaborative practice across dentistry and other health disciplines, &amp;#183; Mechanisms to improve care coordination, and &amp;#183; System level initiatives, such as integrated electronic health records or care coordination among a network of providers to reduce the number of dental cases treated within emergency rooms in a region. Grants will be required to focus on one or both of the following two Focus Areas:</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) to propose research to support research to develop 3D printers, polymers, and process specifications to produce premature- and neonatal-specific devices for external use or short-term insertion and implantation into the human body. Medical devices for premature infants and neonates are often not available in appropriate sizes. As a result, pediatric-sized devices have to be used and the sizing mismatch sometimes leads to deleterious consequences. Medical device companies find it difficult economically to produce the small quantities of devices for this patient population. 3D printing provides a potential solution to this problem as they can produce mechanically complex, patient-matched components with short lead times. Research is currently underway to create commercially viable printers capable of producing bioresorbable scaffolds with implanted stem cells for construction of new tissues and organs. However, no companies are currently supplying 3D printers and materials that can produce flexible implantable medical devices. If such systems were available, health care providers could provide better care to premature infant and neonatal patients. </Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages research grant applications from institutions/organizations to develop novel, robust assays to reveal changes in neuronal and/or glial function. The goal is to adapt state-of-the-art measures of basic cellular processes or molecular events that are key mediators of nervous system function with the intent to probe mechanisms or perturbations in an unbiased and efficient manner. These novel assays would provide opportunities to measure neurobiological endpoints and build a pipeline to be used in the context of target identification and drug discovery. </Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grant Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitat, including species that are not hunted or fished. Activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#191;s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan (Wildlife Action Plan) that was to be submitted by October 1, 2005 and must be approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Wildlife Action Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species with the greatest conservation need and taking into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project which directly contributes to the conservation of wildlife species of greatest conservation need and their habitats, and is consistent with the development or implementation of the State&amp;#191;s Wildlife Action Plan.</Description>

        <Description>A landmark collaboration known as the International Technology Alliance (ITA) in Network and Information Sciences was initiated by the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) in 2006. Awards were made to a Consortium of industrial and academic organizations from the United States and the United Kingdom that along with the US ARL and the UK Dstl formed an international research Alliance that is jointly conducting collaborative research focused on enhancing coalition operations. The key factors contributing to the success of this unique collaborative venture are: joint technical leadership and management by the Alliance (academia, industry, government in both countries); an arrangement fostering an open collaborative research environment to support deep collaboration among researchers; multi-disciplinary research approach applied to key coalition technical challenges; and an innovative transition model that is facilitating the rapid transition of research results to both commercial and military domains.The purpose of this US ARL and UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) ITA Program Announcement (PA) under W911NF-15-R-0003 is to solicit offers that will help to fulfill the research and development goals of the US Department of Army and UK Ministry of Defence. This PA announces a new and innovative opportunity for cooperation between the US and the UK in the area of Distributed Analytics and Information Science (DAIS). The DAIS ITA Program is comprised of two components: (1) the Basic Research Component and (2) the Technology Transition Component. The Basic Research Component will provide for fundamental research, the results of which will be in the public domain, while the Technology Transition Component will provide for the application of the fundamental research results to military, security and commercial applications to foster the best technologies for future defense and security needs. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number for this PA is 12.630 - &amp;quot;Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering. &amp;#147;The result of this PA/Solicitation will be the award of three award instruments for the ITA Program. The first two instruments will be issued by ARL and the third instrument will be issued by Dstl. The first instrument will be a Technology Investment Agreement (referred to as TIA-1) for the Basic Research Component of the ITA Program. TIA-1 will be issued under the authority of 10 United States Code (USC) 2371 in accordance with 32 CFR PART 37. The second instrument will be a Technology Investment Agreement (referred to as (TIA-2) for the Technology Transition Component of the ITA Program, specifically for US only transitions and US led joint US/UK transition opportunities. TIA-2 will also be issued under the authority of 10 USC 2371 and in accordance with 32 CFR PART 37. The third instrument, known as the &amp;#147;UK DAIS ITA Transition Contract&amp;#148;, is also for the Technology Transition Component, specifically for UK only and UK led joint US/UK transition opportunities. Individual task efforts will be issued under TIA-2 and the UK ITA Transition Contract dependent on ability to transition the basic research efforts under TIA-1. Both TIA-1 and TIA-2 agreements will be awarded by the U.S. Army to a single Consortium selected for the awards. The UK DAIS ITA Transition Contract will be awarded by the MOD to the UK arm of the Lead Industrial Partner (LIP) of the Consortium selected for the awards.Two Opportunity Day meetings will be held to discuss this PA and to encourage dialogue, interchange and teaming related to responding to the PA. The first meeting will be held at US ARL, Adelphi, MD on Thursday, 29 January 2015. The second meeting will be held in central London in the UK on Tuesday, 3 February 2015. While attendance is strongly encouraged, attendance at these meetings is not a requirement for submission of a Whitepaper or Proposal in connection with the ITA Program. Registration details can be found on the DAIS ITA Program website at http://www.arl.army.mil/ngita. The presentations from those meetings, the list of attendees at both meetings, and the non-proprietary questions posed and answers provided at both meetings will be made available on the above mentioned website. Nothing said during the Opportunity Day meetings will change this PA. Any changes to this PA will be issued via an amended PA being posted in grants.gov. The application process consists of a Whitepaper stage and a Proposal stage. The purpose of requesting a Whitepaper is to minimize the effort associated with the production of a detailed Proposal for an Offeror that has little chance of being selected for funding. The Governments&amp;#146; decision to invite a Proposal will be based upon the evaluation results of a timely and compliant Whitepaper submission. Only the most highly rated Whitepapers will receive an invitation from the Governments to submit a Proposal. An Offeror that does NOT receive an invitation from the Governments to submit a Proposal is NOT eligible to submit a Proposal and will NOT receive any feedback or a &amp;#147;debriefing&amp;#148; on their Whitepaper. An Offeror invited to submit a Proposal will receive feedback on their Whitepaper. If an Offeror does NOT submit a timely and compliant Whitepaper, they may NOT submit a Proposal for consideration for funding. Whitepapers are due by 4:00am (local time in North Carolina, USA) on 27 April 2015. Details on the proposal submission process will be provided to those Offerors invited to submit a proposal.Awards are expected to be made by May 2016.</Description>

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat. 917 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 669 669b, 669-669k, popularly known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 1938. The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. With broad support from sportsmen&amp;#191;s organizations, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to &amp;#191;enhance&amp;#191; existing hunter education or shooting range programs.</Description>

        <Description>Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The Congressional Resource Committee had broad support from sportsmen&amp;#191;s organizations who stated that States were not using their possible allotments to support these programs or there was not a consistent level of effort to further the future of hunting. As a result, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns.

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950 (Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act), 64 Stat. 430 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 777-777m, was passed on August 9, 1950. It was modeled after the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to create a parallel program for management conservation, and restoration of fishery resources. The Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program (SFR) is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, flies and artificial baits, who pay an excise tax on these items to the U.S. Treasury. An amendment in 1984 (Wallop-Breaux Amendment) added new provisions to the Act by extending the excise tax to previously untaxed items of sport fishing equipment. SFR provides funding to restore, conserve, manage, or enhance sport fish populations and the public use and benefits from these resources; and to provide boating access to public waters.</Description>

        <Description>The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the department, or we), announces the availability of approximately $100 million in grant funds authorized by Section 414(c) of the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (ACWIA), as amended (codified at 29 USC 2916a), for the American Apprenticeship Initiative. This initiative is intended to provide a catalyst in supporting a uniquely American Apprenticeship system that meets our country&amp;#146;s particular economic, industry and workforce needs. American Apprenticeships (also referred to as Registered Apprenticeships) are innovative work-based learning and post-secondary earn-and- learn models that meet national standards for registration with the U.S. Department of Labor (or federally recognized State Apprenticeship Agencies). Approximately $100 million is expected to be available to fund approximately 25 grants. Grant awards will range from $2.5 - 5 million. Grant awards will be made only to the extent that funds are available.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES-2014 NRA (NNH14ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#146;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat, and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES-2014 NRA.

        <Description>Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge is seeking a partner organization to complete two specific projects planned for the future Cully Park, located in the Cully neighborhood in Northeast Portland, OR, and owned by City of Portland. To date, the community has developed a variety of conceptual and design plans for elements of the Cully Park. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeks to fund two elements through a grant: 1) the final design, permitting and construction of the Intertribal Gathering Garden, and 2) the architectural design and construction of the children&amp;#191;s nature play area. The Service intends to fund one award for both projects and expects approximately $150,000-$175,000. The recipient must provide documentation of coordination with Portland Parks &amp;amp; Recreation (PP&amp;amp;R) and abide by design and construction practices set forth by PP&amp;amp;R.</Description>

        <Description>The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to publish documentary editions of historical records. Projects may focus on the papers of major figures from American history or cover broad historical movements in politics, military, business, social reform, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience. The historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project.The goal of this program is to provide access to, and editorial context for, the historical documents and records that tell the American story. The NHPRC encourages projects, whenever possible and appropriate, to provide access to these materials in a free and open online environment, without precluding other forms of publication.Grants are awarded for collecting, describing, preserving, compiling, editing, and publishing documentary source materials in print and online. Because of the focus on documentary sources, grants do not support preparation of critical editions of published works unless such works are just a small portion of the larger project.All applicants should be aware that the application process is highly competitive. Applicants from ongoing project must: demonstrate that they have successfully achieved the performance objectives associated with previous NHPRC awards; provide updated, current information, including a description of the new activities; show progress towards completing the edition; and justify costs in a new budget. If a currently-funded project is preparing only a print edition, it must either complete the project by 2018 or make plans to prepare an online edition by 2018. In the latter instance, projects may also prepare print editions as part of their overall publishing plan. Print-only editions should contact the NHPRC staff for technical assistance in preparing an application.New projects and projects that have never received an NHPRC grant must include plans for an online edition and apply at the second deadline (October 8, 2015). Such projects may also prepare print editions as part of their overall publishing plan. For a comprehensive list of Commission&amp;apos;s limitations on funding, please see What We Do and Do Not Fund.Award Information: Applicants may apply for funding for one year. Award amounts may range from $30,000 to $200,000. Depending on the availability of funding, the Commission expects to make as many as 25 grants in this category, for a total of up to $2,500,000. Grants begin no earlier than January 1, 2016.The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all publications and other products that result from its support.Eligibility: &amp;#149;U.S. nonprofit organizations or institutions &amp;#149; U.S. colleges, universities, and other academic institutions &amp;#149; State or local government agencies &amp;#149; Federally-acknowledged or state-recognized Native American tribes or groupsCost Sharing: The total costs of a project are shared between the NHPRC and the applicant organization.The Commission provides no more than 50 per cent of total direct project costs in the Publishing Historical Records in Documentary Editions category. NHPRC grant recipients are not permitted to use grant funds for indirect costs (as indicated in 2 CFR 2600.101). Cost sharing is required. The applicant&amp;#146;s financial contribution may include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. Indirect costs must be listed under the applicant&amp;#146;s cost sharing contribution. Other Requirements: Applicant organizations must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submitting an application, maintain SAM registration throughout the application and award process, and include a valid DUNS number in their application. Details on SAM registration and requesting a DUNS number can be found at the System for Award Management website at https://sam.gov. Please refer to the User Guides section and the Grants Registrations PDF. A complete application includes the Application for Federal Assistance (Standard Form 424), Assurances -- Non-Construction Programs (Standard Form 424B), a Project Narrative, Summary, Supplementary Materials, and Budget. Applications lacking these items will not be considered.Ineligible applications will not be reviewed. </Description>

        <Description>This Cooperative Agreement may begin no earlier than June 1, 2015, and may extend for up to 30 months.BackgroundFor many years, performing arts presenters in the United States have been able to inform themselves about new work and international trends in the performing arts through travel to other countries facilitated by host government cultural programs. Foreign governments host U.S. presenters to help create markets for the work of their artists. Likewise, they see the opportunity for their artists to perform in the U.S. as a way to raise the profile of their countries.In the United States, there are private opportunities for foreign presenters to come to the U.S. to see artists at festivals or events; however, existing exchange programs most often focus on hosting artists from a limited representation of countries such as those in Central and Western Europe. To our knowledge, there has never been a U.S. government program that serves the performing arts fields by encouraging presenters based outside of the U.S. to see work from geographically diverse areas of the United States.The NEA proposes to address this gap with Performing Arts Discovery, a pilot program to help U.S. Regional Arts Organizations (RAOs) showcase regional performing arts groups, create an organized tour of performances, or present a combination of the two, in their respective regions. Up to two RAOs will be selected from this program solicitation to receive $100,000 awards to undertake this work.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES-2014 NRA (NNH14ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#146;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat, and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Table 2, organized by due date, can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table2 and Table 3, organized by subject area can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table3. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2015, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES-2014 NRA will be available at:http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2014 Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/. Questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at sara@nasa.gov.</Description>

        <Description>An organization may submit only one application through one of the following FY 2016 categories: Art Works or Challenge America. The Arts Endowment&amp;apos;s support of a project may start on or after January 1, 2016. Generally, a period of performance of up to two years is allowed. Grant Program Description The guiding principle of &amp;quot;Art Works&amp;quot; is at the center of everything we do at the NEA. &amp;quot;Art Works&amp;quot; refers to three things: the works of art themselves, the ways art works on audiences, and the fact that art is work for the artists and arts professionals who make up the field. Art works by enhancing the value of individuals and communities, by connecting us to each other and to something greater than ourselves, and by empowering creativity and innovation in our society and economy. The arts exist for beauty itself, but they also are an inexhaustible source of meaning and inspiration. The NEA recognizes these catalytic effects of excellent art, and the key role that arts and design organizations play in revitalizing them. To deepen and extend the arts&amp;apos; value, including their ability to foster new connections and to exemplify creativity and innovation, we welcome projects that: &amp;#149; Are likely to prove transformative with the potential for meaningful change, whether in the development or enhancement of new or existing art forms, new approaches to the creation or presentation of art, or new ways of engaging the public with art; &amp;#149; Are distinctive, offering fresh insights and new value for their fields and/or the public through unconventional solutions; and &amp;#149; Have the potential to be shared and/or emulated, or are likely to lead to other advances in the field. </Description>

        <Description>An organization may submit only one application through one of the following FY 2016 categories: Art Works or Challenge America. The Arts Endowment&amp;apos;s support of a project may start on or after January 1, 2016. Grants awarded under these guidelines generally may cover a period of performance of up to two years. An organization that has received Challenge America grants in FY 2013, 2014, and 2015 may not apply for a Challenge America grant under these FY 2016 guidelines. Grant Program Description The Challenge America category offers support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations -- those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. Age alone (e.g., youth, seniors) does not qualify a group as underserved; at least one of the underserved characteristics noted above also must be present. Grants are available for professional arts programming and for projects that emphasize the potential of the arts in community development. This category encourages and supports the following two objectives: &amp;#149; Engagement: Engaging the public with diverse and excellent art. &amp;#149; Livability: The strengthening of communities through the arts. You will be asked to select the objective that is most relevant to your project. When making selections, you should identify the objective(s) that reflect the results expected to be achieved by your project. If you receive a grant, you also will be asked to provide evidence of those results. Challenge America grants: &amp;#149; Extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations. &amp;#149; Are limited to the specific types of projects outlined below. &amp;#149; Are for a fixed amount of $10,000 and require a minimum $10,000 match. </Description>

        <Description>The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program makes resources available to enhance the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research. CREST promotes the development of new knowledge, enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of students historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. HBCU-RISE awards specifically target HBCUs to support the expansion of institutional research capacity as well as an increase in the production of doctoral students, especially those from groups underrepresented in STEM, at those institutions. The CREST/HBCU-RISE Program intends to support the following types of projects:CREST Center awards provide multi-year support (typically 5-year, $5M) for eligible minority-serving institutions (MSI) that demonstrate a strong research and education base, a compelling vision for research infrastructure improvement, and a comprehensive plan with the necessary elements to achieve and sustain national competitiveness in a clearly defined and focused area of science or engineering research. These Centers will demonstrate a clear vision and synergy with the broad goals of the CREST Program and the Human Resource Division with respect to development of a diverse, advanced STEM workforce. CREST Centers are expected to provide leadership in the involvement of groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM at all levels (faculty, students, and postdoctoral researchers) within the Center. Centers use either proven or innovative mechanisms to address issues such as recruitment, retention and mentorship of participants from underrepresented groups. CREST Partnership Supplements support the establishment or strengthening of partnerships and collaborations between existing CREST centers and nationally or internationally recognized research centers in areas of mutual research interest and high priority for the CREST institution. HBCU Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (RISE) awards support the development of research capability at Historically Black Colleges and Universities that offer doctoral degrees in science and engineering disciplines. Supported projects must have a unifying research focus in one of the research areas supported by NSF, a direct connection to the long-term plans of the host department(s) and the institutional mission, and plans for expanding institutional research capacity as well as increasing the production of doctoral students, especially those underrepresented in STEM. CREST Broadening Participation Research awards (new track) will be investigator-initiated empirical research projects that seek to advance the understanding of how enhanced research capacity at MSIs affects the differential participation and success of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty from groups underrepresented in STEM. The relationship of these issues to the development of research capacity and to the conduct of a nationally competitive scholarly research enterprise will be at the core of these projects.SBIR/STTR Phase IIa Diversity Collaboration Supplements provide an opportunity for existing SBIR/STTR Phase IIa projects to initiate collaborations with minority-serving institutions that have existing CREST and HBCU-RISE awards. These supplemental proposals are administered by and co-funded with the NSF Directorate for Engineering, in the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (ENG/IIP).</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for the Morris K. Udall Centers of Excellence for Parkinsons Disease Research program. The overarching goal of the specialized Udall Centers program is to establish a network of Centers that work collaboratively as well as independently to define the causes of and discover improved treatments for Parkinsons disease (PD). A more immediate goal for each Center is to rapidly advance synergistic, interdisciplinary research programs while serving as local resources and national leaders in PD research. The overall theme, proposed research projects, and associated cores must inform the etiology, pathogenesis or treatment of PD. Investigations on related synucleinopathies may be included, to the extent that these directly inform PD research. Requirements include 1) a minimum of three research projects; 2) research cores that are each essential to accomplish the aims of at least two proposed research projects, plus an Administrative Core; 3) a mission statement and plan for career development of PD researchers; and 4) a plan for outreach to the local patient community. The NINDS Udall Centers program prioritizes innovative and integrative research with significant potential for discovery. A considerable degree of synergy must be evident among Center research projects and cores, such that successful completion of the aims could not be accomplished without the Center structure. The Udall Center Director (PD/PI) must be an established leader in scientific research with visionary leadership skills and proven expertise in the stewardship of large-scale research programs. Eligible institutions must demonstrate commitment to and support for the establishment and continuation of the proposed Udall Center. Funding decisions will focus on those applications most likely to make highly impactful contributions to PD research, as well as those with greatest potential to collaborate effectively across the Centers program. </Description>

        <Description>The DARPA ElectRx program seeks innovative research proposals for creating closed-loop neuromodulation systems that utilize innate neurophysiological circuits to achieve therapeutic benefits. To achieve this goal, ElectRx will simultaneously drive biological understanding and technology development. Specifically, ElectRx is looking to develop and leverage fundamental understanding of the anatomy and physiology of neural circuits in the spinal cord or peripheral nerves that mediate health status. This knowledge will be leveraged to design and demonstrate feedback-controlled neuromodulation systems for the direct regulation of immune system functions and CNS disorders. In parallel, technology development focused on next-generation minimally-invasive neural interfaces and biosensors will enable interaction with the neurophysiology of interest at unmatched spatiotemporal resolution, precision, and specificity. These neuromodulation treatments will be tuned automatically and continuously to the unique physiology of each individual and will produce no off-target effects. See attached BAA for additional information.</Description>

        <Description>The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to publish documentary editions of historical records. Projects may focus on the papers of major figures from American history or cover broad historical movements in politics, military, business, social reform, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience. The historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project.The goal of this program is to provide access to, and editorial context for, the historical documents and records that tell the American story. The NHPRC encourages projects, whenever possible and appropriate, to provide access to these materials in a free and open online environment, without precluding other forms of publication.Grants are awarded for collecting, describing, preserving, compiling, editing, and publishing documentary source materials in print and online. Because of the focus on documentary sources, grants do not support preparation of critical editions of published works unless such works are just a small portion of the larger project.All applicants should be aware that the application process is highly competitive. Applicants from ongoing project must: demonstrate that they have successfully achieved the performance objectives associated with previous NHPRC awards; provide updated, current information, including a description of the new activities; show progress towards completing the edition; and justify costs in a new budget. If a currently-funded project is preparing only a print edition, it must either complete the project by 2018 or make plans to prepare an online edition by 2018. In the latter instance, projects may also prepare print editions as part of their overall publishing plan. Print-only editions should contact the NHPRC staff for technical assistance in preparing an application.New projects and projects that have never received an NHPRC grant must include plans for an online edition and apply at the second deadline (October 8, 2015). Such projects may also prepare print editions as part of their overall publishing plan. For a comprehensive list of Commission&amp;apos;s limitations on funding, please see What We Do and Do Not Fund.Award Information: Applicants may apply for funding for one year. Award amounts may range from $30,000 to $200,000. Depending on the availability of funding, the Commission expects to make as many as 25 grants in this category, for a total of up to $2,500,000. Grants begin no earlier than January 1, 2016.The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all publications and other products that result from its support.Eligibility: &amp;#149; U.S. nonprofit organizations or institutions &amp;#149; U.S. colleges, universities, and other academic institutions&amp;#149; State or local government agencies&amp;#149; Federally-acknowledged or state-recognized Native American tribes or groupsCost Sharing: The total costs of a project are shared between the NHPRC and the applicant organization.The Commission provides no more than 50 per cent of total direct project costs in the Publishing Historical Records in Documentary Editions category. NHPRC grant recipients are not permitted to use grant funds for indirect costs (as indicated in 2 CFR 2600.101). Cost sharing is required. The applicant&amp;#146;s financial contribution may include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. Indirect costs must be listed under the applicant&amp;#146;s cost sharing contribution. Other Requirements: Applicant organizations must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submitting an application, maintain SAM registration throughout the application and award process, and include a valid DUNS number in their application. Details on SAM registration and requesting a DUNS number can be found at the System for Award Management website at https://sam.gov. Please refer to the User Guides section and the Grants Registrations PDF. A complete application includes the Application for Federal Assistance (Standard Form 424), Assurances -- Non-Construction Programs (Standard Form 424B), a Project Narrative, Summary, Supplementary Materials, and Budget. Applications lacking these items will not be considered.Ineligible applications will not be reviewed. </Description>

        <Description>The project will integrate data and analysis procedures to assist biologists, statisticians and modelers. The software framework will synthesize existing databases, environmental data (stream flow, temperature, channel dimensions), and stream community data (species data). These data sources will be linked spatially and temporally by the data harvester tool (called Hatch &amp;#191; www.datahatch.org). Standardized analyses will be coded into the data analysis tool. Linked data sources and standardized data analysis tools will help researchers and managers better search and access information to understand key components of the system. In addition, the modeling framework and coded toolset will help to identify data gaps and provide strategies for improved monitoring efforts.</Description>

        <Description>This FOA invites applications for the Centers for Mendelian Genomics Program (CMG Program). With this reissuance, NHGRI intends to achieve the following specific objectives. First, the Program will aim to discover as many genes that bear causal genetic variants (&amp;quot;causal genes&amp;quot;) for human Mendelian diseases and non-disease Mendelian traits (&amp;quot;Mendelian conditions&amp;quot;) as possible, using genome-wide sequencing and other complementary genomic approaches at the funded centers, and through collaborations with clinical and genetic researchers worldwide. Second, the Program will aim to enhance the chances of success in causal gene discoveries by improving sample solicitation strategies, discovery approaches, study designs, data analysis methods, and costs and efficiency of the discovery pipelines. Third, the Program will aim to enable others to discover more causal genes by disseminating the methods, tools, and other resources that will be developed under this FOA. Finally, the Program will facilitate common interests-based collaborations and avoid unproductive duplication of efforts on causal gene discoveries, through worldwide coordination. At a higher level, NHGRI intends that these activities will lead to insights on what methods, scale, and infrastructure will be necessary to discover all or most of the causal genes for human Mendelian conditions, and bring the field forward toward this goal. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the FY 2015 Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP). The purpose of this cooperative agreement program is to establish and operate geriatric education centers that will implement the GWEP project to develop a health care workforce that maximizes patient and family engagement and improves health outcomes for older adults by integrating geriatrics with primary care. Special emphasis will be on providing the primary care workforce with the knowledge and skills to care for older adults and on collaborating with community partners to address gaps in health care for older adults through individual, system, community, and population level changes. Focus areas for this announcement are: 1. Transforming clinical training environments to integrated geriatrics and primary care delivery systems to ensure trainees are well prepared to practice in and lead these kinds of systems. 2. Developing providers who can assess and address the needs of older adults and their families/caregivers at the individual, community, and population levels. 3. Creating and delivering community-based programs that will provide patients, families and caregivers with the knowledge and skills to improve health outcomes and the quality of care for the older adult(s). 4. Applicants may also choose to address providing Alzheimer&amp;#191;s disease and related dementias (ADRD) education to families, caregivers, direct care workers and health professions students, faculty, and providers.</Description>

        <Description>NRCS will use these competitive grants to seek creative solutions to assist producers with emerging and traditional agricultural and natural resource issues. These emerging issues include energy conservation, nutrient management, soil health, productivity of grazing lands, wildlife, and priority landscapes. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) administers CIG. CIG, a component of NRCS&amp;apos;s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), provides competitive grants to federally-recognized Indian tribes, state and local units of governments, non-governmental organizations and individuals. CIG funds one-to-three year projects that target innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. The maximum federal contribution for each project is $75,000 at the state level. Larger federal contributions, up to $1 million are available through the National CIG program. The $150,000 in State level CIG funding will be used to address six subcategories:1. Nutrient Management2. Energy Conservation3. Soil Health4. Productivity and Environmental Health of grazing land5. Wildlife6. Priority LandscapesThe State Conservationist encourages beginning farmers and ranchers, limited resource farmers or ranchers, Indian tribes or community-based organizations that service these groups to apply for grants. Interested applicants must submit proposals to NRCS&amp;apos;s State Headquarters in Stillwater, OK by close of business on April 30, 2012. All CIG projects must include agricultural producers who meet EQIP eligibility requirements. For more information about the EQIP eligibility requirements, please visit www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/eqip. Information about the CIG Announcement of Program Funding can be found at the Oklahoma CIG Web page at http://www.ok.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/cig/index.html.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Consulate General, Kolkata will host a year-long training program in East India that will focus on journalism ethics, standards, citizen journalism, and advocacy through reporting. The three-tiered program will bring U.S. experts to speak and work with editors, advertising managers, mid-career journalists, and journalism school curriculum developers. The awardee will work together with Indian journalism school sub-awardees in Kolkata (West Bengal), Guwahati (Assam) and Patna (Bihar). One significant purpose of this grant is to strengthen the connections between American and Indian journalism schools and journalists. At the end of the program, U.S. and Indian journalists and journalism professors will work together on a white paper of recommendations on how to improve India&amp;#146;s ranking on the World Press Freedom Index. The first tier of the training program will bring U.S. newspaper editors to work with their Indian counterparts about best practices, and common challenges. Local, vernacular papers would work with equivalent smaller city or town newspapers from the United States; whereas larger English dailies would work with editors from larger newspapers from the United States. Editors from U.S. papers would discuss larger issues of journalism ethics, as well ongoing career development for mid-career journalists. Editors from smaller U.S. papers would be charged with discussing how they cover international affairs and foreign policy in their local editions, and the role local papers have in educating the public about local, national, and international issues.In order to improve standards and ethics within advertising departments, and improve the relationship between advertising managers and editorial staff, the second tier of this program would bring U.S. experts from leading news outlets to teach best practices in objectivity and how to maintain profitability. Management could work together on strategies on how to retain credibility when new media and citizen journalism is increasingly popular. Lastly, managers would discuss the best ways to recognize self-censorship to appease advertisers.The last tier of this program would also include U.S. journalism programs partnering and working with graduate and postgraduate communications and journalism curriculum development. Although this tier of the training program would be focused on developing better curriculum, the larger goal would be to build linkages between U.S. and Indian degree programs, such as executive education programs, or online coursework for mid-career journalists.

        <Description>The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Headquarters Region 7 intends to award a single source Cooperative Agreement as authorized by 505 DM 2.14 (B) to East Asian Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) Office of the Secretariat. This notice is not a request for proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals. Award will be made 15 days after this notice. PURPOSE: To increase member participation in the seventh Meeting of Partners of the East Asian Australasian Flyway Partnership to be held in Seward, Alaska, in June 2013. To ensure member participation in policy development for partnership governance, strategic planning for conservation of migratory birds, to assist partners in logistics and travel planning, and to provide full geographically represented participation with unique technical expertise associated with each geographic locale within the flyway. OBJECTIVES: The primary purpose of this federal assistance award is to better enable the EAAFP Secretariat: a) To cooperatively coordinate the collection and dissemination of scientific information involving migratory birds shared in the flyway; b) To advise partner land managers on habitat conservation priorities and strategies; c) To foster the development of a Flyway Site Network (for sites of international importance to migratory waterbirds); d) To increase knowledge and raise awareness of migratory waterbirds in the flyway; e) To increase member participation in the seventh Meeting of Partners to be held in Seward, Alaska, in June 2013. REASON FOR SINGLE SOURCE: (1) Unique Qualifications &amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the because of the role the EAAFP Office of the Secretariat routinely fills in planning, coordinating and conducting regularly scheduled Meetings of the Partners. Host countries provide logistical support to the EAAFP Office of the Secretariat for these sole purposes. The applicant is the only entity with knowledge of each EAAFP Partner&amp;#191;s support needs, and is best suited to provide that support directly. It is more cost efficient for the Service to provide funds to this organization than to provide this service directly to as many as 25 partner organizations. Partner organization is providing approximately 26% of the total cost of the project. </Description>

        <Description>South Africa has the largest population of persons living with HIV/AIDS in the world, estimated to be more than 6.4 million (see Human Sciences Research Council, HSRC, 2012). South Africa has a mixed epidemic that includes both the general population and key population risk groups, and a diverse health system with a range of access and coverage of HIV-related health services. South Africa is also significantly affected by converging epidemics of HIV and Tuberculosis (TB), as well as poverty-related illnesses, non-communicable diseases, and violence and injury. The 2012 South African National HIV Prevalence, Incidence and Behavior Survey estimates the adult (aged 15-49 years) HIV prevalence at 18.8% and the HIV incidence at 1.72%. The South African government has implemented a series of activities to track trends in the HIV epidemic, and monitor and measure the impact of HIV prevention activities, care and treatment programs, and to assess the capacity and needs of the healthcare system in response to the significant HIV-related health burdens facing the country. Consequently, a strategic objective of PEPFAR South Africa (SA) is to strengthen, harmonize and expand these efforts to ensure a coordinated HIV response and optimal utilization of vital PEPFAR resources in South Africa by ensuring the availability of high-quality data for disease and program monitoring and planning purposes. Alignment with PEPFAR/Host Country National Government Priorities: The United States Government (USG) and the South African Government (SAG) signed the Partnership Framework Implementation Plan in Support of South Africa&amp;#8217;s National HIV, STI, and TB Response 2012/13 &amp;#8211; 2016/17 (PFIP)1 signed on December 10, 2010. This agreement commits the SAG and USG to the principles of South African leadership including programmatic alignment, sustainability, innovation and responsiveness to the epidemics, mutual accountability, multi-sectorial engagement and participation, gender sensitivity, financial transparency, and fostering partnerships. The goal of PEPFAR South Africa is working in close collaboration with SAG to realize the following goals of the National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV, Sexually Transmitted Infections and Tuberculosis (2012 &amp;#8211; 2016) (NSP): &amp;#8226; Reduce new HIV infections by at least 50%, using combination prevention approaches; &amp;#8226; Initiate at least 80% of eligible patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART), with 70% alive and on treatment five years after initiation; &amp;#8226; Reduce the number of new TB infections, as well as the number of TB deaths, by 50%; and &amp;#8226; Ensure an enabling and accessible legal framework that protects and promotes human rights in order to support implementation of the NSP A key aspect of the work of the President&amp;#8217;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief team in South Africa (PEPFAR South Africa) is building South Africa&amp;#8217;s capacity to collect and use strategic information to ensure maximum impact on the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As such, PEPFAR South Africa (SA) aims to develop, implement, strengthen and evaluate HIV strategic information activities including but not limited to surveillance, surveys, implementation science, evaluation, qualitative studies, and health systems strengthening activities. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled ?SunShot Incubator Round 10, SolarMat Round 3, SunPath Round 2?. This FOA will enable the widespread market penetration of highly impactful solar technologies and solutions through technology research, development, and demonstration to overcome technical, institutional and market challenges. Historically, annual funding opportunities have been separated by stage of technology development (Incubator, SolarMat, and SUNPATH). In the interest of optimizing the application and selection process, these funding opportunities have been combined into a single FOA, with the goal of bringing disruptive innovation to the solar industry in the near term that will take root in the U.S. The total federal funding will be approximately $45M with a 20% to 50% awardee cost share required depending on the project Tier. Projects are expected to be funded with a maximum award level of $500,000 to $10M depending on project Tier. This FOA has 5 Tiers based on the type of product (hardware or non-hardware) and product maturity. </Description>

Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Table 2, organized by due date, can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table2 and Table 3, organized by subject area can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table3. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2015, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES-2014 NRA will be available at:http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2014 Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications from research partnerships formed by academic and industrial investigators, to accelerate the translation of technologies, methods, assays or devices, and/or systems for preclinical or clinical molecular diagnosis or in vitro imaging that are designed to solve a targeted cancer problem. The proposed systems may include molecular diagnosis, molecular imaging or related research resources. Funding may be requested to enhance, adapt, optimize, validate, and otherwise translate the following examples, among others: (a) current commercially supported systems, (b) next-generation systems, (c) quality assurance and quality control, (d) validation and correlation studies, (e) quantitative imaging, and (f) related research resources. Because applications should be translational in scope, this FOA defines innovation as a coherent translational plan to deliver emerging or new capabilities for preclinical or clinical use that are not yet broadly employed in preclinical or clinical settings. In addition, innovation may be considered as delivery of a new capability to end users. The partnership on each application should establish an inter-disciplinary, multi-institutional research team to work in strategic alliance to implement a coherent strategy to develop and translate their system to solve their chosen cancer problem. This FOA will support clinical trials that test functionality, optimize, and validate the performance of the proposed translational work. This FOA does not intend to support either actual commercial production or basic research projects that do not emphasize translation.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research cooperative agreements as part of the Neurobiology of Adolescent Drinking in Adulthood (NADIA) consortium to elucidate persistent changes in complex brain function-behavior relationships following adolescent alcohol exposure. The purpose of this FOA is to support collaborative research projects (U01) focusing on research efforts across different research institutions investigating the consequences of repeated adolescent alcohol exposure on brain maturation and adult abilities. Since NIAAA is interested in supporting experimental studies on the effects of controlled alcohol doses and exposure periods, this initiative is limited to animal studies only.</Description>

        <Description>The USAFA invests in an active research program for three main reasons. First and foremost, research significantly enhances the cadet learning experience. Our research is done by, for and with cadets who work alongside fellow cadets and faculty mentors. Research provides cadets with rich independent learning opportunities as they tackle ill-defined problems and are challenged to apply their knowledge and abilities.Second, our research program provides opportunities essential for faculty development. Research broadens and deepens the experience base of the faculty. This infuses current, relevant, state-of-the-art and cutting-edge applications and examples into the curriculum. This also helps our faculty remain current in their respective fields.Third, at USAFA we strive to conduct research to enhance the ability of the Air Force to perform its mission. There are ongoing research projects spanning topics as diverse as super hypersonics, cyber security, spatial disorientation, athletic performance and homeland defense. This BAA offers a vehicle for research to be performed to satisfy these three objectives, while also meeting research needs of industry counterparts/serve a public purpose. All awards issued against this BAA must serve to benefit the objectives identified above.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the IR-4 program is to enable the crop protection industry to provide safe, effective, and economical crop protection products for growers and consumers of minor/specialty crops. The crop protection industry cannot justify the costs associated with the research and development, registration, production, and marketing of crop protection products for minor/specialty crops due to the smaller market base and limited sales potential. The IR-4 program provides the assistance needed to ensure that new and more effective crop protection products are developed and made available to minor/specialty crop producers. These efforts require effective collaborations among federal agencies, the crop protection industry, and land-grant colleges and universities. </Description>

        <Description>Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is designed to create safer neighborhoods through a sustained reduction in crime associated with gang and gun violence. The program&amp;apos;s effectiveness is based on the cooperation of local, state, and federal agencies engaged in a unified approach led by the U.S. Attorney (USA) in each district. The USA is responsible for establishing a collaborative PSN task force of federal, state, and local law enforcement and other community members to implement gang and gun crime enforcement, intervention, and prevention initiatives within the district. Through the PSN task force, the USA will implement the five design features of PSN&amp;#151;partnerships, strategic planning, training, outreach, and accountability&amp;#151;to address specific gun crime and gang violence, in the most violent neighborhoods. Details on the five design features (also referred to as core elements) can be found on pages 5-6 and online at www.ncjrs.gov/html/bja/205263/.The PSN Program continues to be a competitive-based program. In a competitive environment, &amp;#147;need&amp;#148; and use of more effective, intelligence- and data-driven strategies will be key factors for funding selections, in addition to performance results and other factors. Therefore, grant awards for FY 2015 will be made through a competitive process to encourage and focus funding on high-performing and evidence-based programs where the need is greatest and where the most violent neighborhoods, within districts, are being addressed. Funding for this initiative is anticipated through the FY 2015 appropriation.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES-2014 NRA (NNH14ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#146;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat, and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Table 2, organized by due date, can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table2 and Table 3, organized by subject area can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table3. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2015, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES-2014 NRA will be available at:http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2014 Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>These NEH grants support national or regional (multistate) training programs for scholars and advanced graduate students to broaden and extend their knowledge of digital humanities. Through these programs, NEH seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars using digital technology in their research and to broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology tools and methodologies relevant to the humanities. The projects may be a single opportunity or offered multiple times to different audiences. Institutes may be as short as a few days and held at multiple locations or as long as six weeks at a single site. For example, training opportunities could be offered before or after regularly occurring scholarly meetings, during the summer months, or during appropriate times of the academic year. The duration of a program should allow for full and thorough treatment of the topic. Today, complex data&amp;#191;its form, manipulation, and interpretation&amp;#191;are as important to humanities study as more traditional research materials. Datasets, for example, may represent digitized historical records, high-quality image data, or even multimedia collections, all of which are increasing in number due to the availability and affordability of mass data storage devices and international initiatives to create digital content. Moreover, extensive networking capabilities, sophisticated analytical tools, and new collaboration platforms are simultaneously providing and improving interactive access to and analysis of these data as well as a multitude of other resources. The Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities program seeks to enable humanities scholars in the United States to incorporate advances like these into their scholarship and teaching. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Primary Care Training and Enhancement (PCTE) program. The overarching purpose of the PCTE program is to strengthen the primary care workforce by supporting enhanced training for future primary care. In FY 2015, applicants for the PCTE program must focus on training for transforming health care systems, particularly enhancing the clinical training experience of trainees. Some of the characteristics identified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) to be closely associated with transformed health care delivery systems include: &amp;#183; Providers across the care continuum participate in integrated or virtually integrated delivery models, &amp;#183; Care is coordinated across all providers and settings, &amp;#183; There is high level of patient engagement and quantifiable results on patient experience, &amp;#183; Providers leverage the use of health information technology to improve quality, &amp;#183; Providers perform at the top of their license and board certification, &amp;#183; Population health measures are integrated into the delivery system, and &amp;#183; Data is used to drive health system processes.[1] Collaborative projects that propose training across the training continuum (student, resident, faculty development, and practicing primary care physician or physician assistants) and across primary care disciplines and professions (family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, physician assistants, and other primary care professions) are encouraged and will qualify for a higher funding ceiling amount. In addition, consistent with the White House initiative to facilitate career paths for veterans who want to become physician assistants, physician assistant training programs that demonstrate activities that improve recruitment, retention, and education of veteran applicants and students will be encouraged. Applicants must also propose an evaluation plan focused on proposed assessment of outcomes related to graduate outcomes and patient access, quality of care, and cost effectiveness in the clinical training environment. Evaluation plans may include integration of evaluation activities with existing institution efforts, such as quality improvement initiatives. Examples of outcomes are changes in: &amp;#183; Rate of graduates/program completers, at least one-year after program completion, practicing in primary care &amp;#183; Rate of graduates/program completers, at least one-year after program completion, practicing in underserved areas &amp;#183; Patient service provided by graduates/program completers &amp;#183; Quality of care provided by graduates/program completers &amp;#183; Patient service provided by trainees and faculty at participating PCTE clinical training sites &amp;#183; Quality of care provided by trainees and faculty at participating PCTE clinical training sites &amp;#183; Cost of care provided by trainees and faculty at participating PCTE clinical training sites During the funded grant period, grantees will be expected to work with an evaluation technical assistance contractor to be identified by HRSA. The evaluation technical assistance contractor will conduct site visits to select grantees and provide assistance in developing and implementing evaluation plans.

        <Description>The objective of this Task Agreement is to provide public transit service to Muir Woods National Monument, a park unit of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. To meet this need Marin Transit and GGNRA would continue serving the site with Marin Transit&amp;#191;s Route 66/66F. The costs of the service would be evenly split between the two agencies. The shuttle would not only serve the goal of providing service to Muir Woods, reducing vehicle trips and providing access to transit dependent visitors, but would also integrate the shuttle into the current public transportation options in the area. Route 66 provides service between the Tam Junction area (US101/SR1 interchange) with Muir Woods. Route 66F provides service between Sausalito, Marin City, and Muir Woods. Integrating the service with the current Route 66 operations requires the service to be available to all members of the general public and requires all applicable federal and state laws and regulations to be followed that apply to public transit providers. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the National Quality Improvement/Management Technical Assistance Center (NQC). The NQC will provide training and technical assistance (T/TA) related to quality improvement and quality management to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program) grantees and funded providers to improve the quality of care and services and respond to and implement quality management legislative mandates. The purpose of the NQC cooperative agreement is to provide T/TA to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWP) grantees and their constituents. In collaboration with HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), and other RWP stakeholders and partners, the cooperative agreement will engage in activities that transfer knowledge, skills, and practical help to grantees, providers, planning bodies, and other constituents in their work with funded RWPs in the areas of quality management. The cooperative agreement will focus on the information and T/TA needs of programs in developing and implementing quality management programs and assist RWP grantees in developing, implementing, and sustaining a program to track and improve quality of patient care outcomes. The T/TA provided through this cooperative agreement should assist grantees in prioritizing quality improvement strategies that narrow the quality gaps within a grantee&amp;apos;s organization. T/TA should assist grantees to adapt a quality of care model by building systems and measuring processes for quality care and quickly spread successful improvement strategies. The key areas to be addressed in the T/TA for quality improvement include: 1) Leadership support to improve the system of care: Leadership (senior leaders within an organization) commitment is critical to the success of a quality management program. Leadership sets the direction regarding shared goals for performance and expectations for staff and stakeholders. In addition, leadership allocates the necessary resources for quality improvement. Leaders can support quality activities by a) building staff capacity for quality improvement through training, b) building staff motivation by involving all staff, c) dedicating time to measure performance, d) involving staff in analyzing the data to make shared decisions, e) setting priorities to identify specific areas for improvement, and f) facilitating provider buy-in. Provider buy-in is also crucial for implementation and sustained success for the quality management program. , 2) Infrastructure with resources and development of staff capacity: Continuous improvement and learning require a solid infrastructure with defined processes and dedicated staff participation. The cooperative agreement shall provide opportunities for staff education and training in quality improvement. The T/TA shall address how grantees should integrate quality management into the planning and implementation of care and treatment. The infrastructure should support performance measurement, evidence based practices, and sustainability. 3) Performance measurement: Performance measurement includes a standardized process for data collection to assist grantees in planning and improving care. 4) Quality improvement projects: A robust improvement process should assist grantees in implementing quality improvement projects through a systematic approach to ensure sustained improvements over time. 5) Routine feedback to leadership, staff and stakeholders: The feedback to leadership, staff and stakeholders is another priority area that will be a focus of the T/TA to grantees. The results and outcomes of the quality activities drive further improvements by increasing engagement of staff to measure and improve quality. The value of the collected data will increase when those providing the services see these data as the basis for efforts to improve quality. 6) Consumer engagement: Consumer engagement in quality improvement provides opportunity for grantees to improve the system of care. Engagement of consumers in quality improvement strategies can provide an understanding of the systemic changes and the processes to close the gaps in care. The process for consumer input and engagement has varied greatly in the past few years; the T/TA should identify best practices for grantees to engage consumers as an integral part of the quality management program. RWP grantees currently funded directly by HRSA are eligible to request technical assistance; however, T/TA will be provided to a diverse group of individuals, including administrative and direct service staff of state/local AIDS programs, RWP grantees and their subcontractors, other AIDS service organizations and community based organizations, members of RWP planning bodies, and consumers. Applicants must be able to demonstrate at least two (2) years experience in the fields of quality management, quality improvement, developing and disseminating informational materials, providing training or technical assistance to HIV/AIDS related organizations and constituencies on a national level. The scope of work for this cooperative agreement must also be proposed for a national level. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the program is to support the development and implementation of active monitoring (AM) and direct active monitoring (DAM) of travelers in the current 62 PHEP jurisdictions who may have been exposed to Ebola. AM means that the state or local public health authority assumes responsibility for establishing regular communication with potentially exposed individuals, including checking daily to assess for the presence of symptoms and fever, rather than relying solely on individuals to self-monitor and report symptoms if they develop. DAM means the public health authority conducts active monitoring through direct observation. The purpose of active (or direct active) monitoring is to ensure that if individuals with epidemiologic risk factors become ill they are identified as soon as possible after symptom onset so they can be rapidly isolated and evaluated. Active and direct active monitoring programs are critical in assuring that travelers&amp;#146; symptoms are regularly monitored and that a response system is in place to quickly recognize when those with symptoms need to receive appropriate medical care. These public health actions will better protect potentially exposed individuals and the American public as a whole.</Description>

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat. 917 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 669-669b, 669-669k, popularly known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 1938. The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The Congressional Resource Committee had broad support from sportsmen&amp;#191;s organizations who stated that States were not using their possible allotments to support these programs or there was not a consistent level of effort to further the future of hunting. As a result, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to &amp;#191;enhance&amp;#191; existing hunter education or shooting range programs.</Description>

        <Description>On September 30, 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the first laboratory-confirmed case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States in a patient who had traveled to Dallas, TX from West Africa. CDC and the Department of Homeland Security&amp;#146;s Customs and Border Protection announced on October 8, enhanced Ebola screening at five U.S. airports that receive over 94 percent of travelers from the Ebola-affected nations of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. These five airports are New York&amp;#146;s JFK International Airport, Washington-Dulles, Newark, Chicago-O&amp;#146;Hare, and Atlanta International. Updated CDC guidance, supported by ASPR, urges hospitals to limit the spread of the virus in order to protect and maintain their workforce, to prevent hospitals from being a disease amplifier, and to protect non-Ebola patients from infection. This grant will enable select public health departments serving the regions where enhanced airport screenings are occurring to procure equipment and supplies, train staff, retrofit facilities, and carry out other necessary Ebola-specific preparedness, response, and recovery activities.</Description>

Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system.

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for a coordination center that will narrow the gap between the availability of biomedical big data and the ability of biomedical scientists to effectively utilize such data accurately, effectively, and efficiently. Achieving this goal requires: (1) bringing together individuals involved in training and career development programs to network and share experiences; and (2) engaging individuals developing open educational resources in meaningful dialogue to ensure that the resources they develop will be freely available and easy to access by the broader biomedical community. By the end of the award period, the Training Coordination Center (TCC) will be expected to have: (1) developed a network of scientists involved in biomedical big data science and (2) produced a discovery index that serves as a primary source for personalized access to publicly available biomedical data science educational resources. </Description>

        <Description>Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) programs explore promising but unproven concepts with the potential to advance specific surface transportation systems. The Safety IDEA program investigates innovative concepts and methods to improve safety and performance of railroads, intercity buses and trucks. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) endeavors to provide funding for the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to continue to carry out the Safety IDEA program. FRA funding for the Safety IDEA program has been provided since October 2002. FRA joined the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), as a joint sponsor of the Safety IDEA program. FMCSA has been funding the Safety IDEA program since the program started in October 2001. The IDEA programs explore innovative concepts that are initiated and proposed by researchers, inventors, universities, or companies, both within and outside the usual transportation research community.</Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grant Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitat, including species that are not hunted or fished. Activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#191;s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan (Wildlife Action Plan) that was to be submitted by October 1, 2005 and must be approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Wildlife Action Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species with the greatest conservation need and taking into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project which directly contributes to the conservation of wildlife species of greatest conservation need and their habitats, and is consistent with the development or implementation of the State&amp;apos;s Wildlife Action Plan.</Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services, is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration (Short Title: PBHCI) grants. The purpose of this program is to establish projects for the provision of coordinated and integrated services through the co-location of primary and specialty care medical services in community-based behavioral health settings. The goal is to improve the physical health status of adults with serious mental illnesses (SMI) and those with co-occurring substance use disorders who have or are at risk for co-morbid primary care conditions and chronic diseases. The program&amp;#146;s objective is to support the triple aim of improving the health of individuals with SMI; enhancing the consumer experience of care (including quality, access, and reliability); and reducing/controlling the per capita cost of care. SAMHSA launched the PBHCI program in FY 2009 with the knowledge that adults with serious mental illness experience heightened morbidity and mortality, in large part due to elevated incidence and prevalence of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. This increased morbidity and mortality can be attributed to a number of issues, including inadequate physical activity and poor nutrition; smoking; side effects from atypical antipsychotic medications; and lack of access to health care services. Emerging research has documented the relationships among exposure to traumatic events, impaired neurodevelopmental and immune systems responses and subsequent health risk behaviors resulting in chronic physical or behavioral health disorders. Unaddressed trauma significantly increases the risk of mental and substance use disorders and chronic physical illnesses. Many of these health conditions are preventable through routine health promotion activities, primary care screening, monitoring, treatment and care management /coordination strategies and/or other outreach programs. Much of the national effort towards achieving the triple aim of improved health, enhanced care, and reduced costs are associated with developing person-centered systems of care that address an individual&amp;#146;s holistic health and wellness. The PBHCI grant program supports the goals of the Million Hearts&amp;#153; Initiative in that people with behavioral health disorders are disproportionally impacted by many chronic primary care health conditions, including heart disease and hypertension. The Million Hearts&amp;#153; initiative supports cardiovascular disease prevention activities across the public and private sectors in an unprecedented effort to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes over five years and demonstrate to the American people that improving the health system can save lives. Million Hearts&amp;#153; will scale-up proven clinical and community strategies to prevent heart disease and stroke across the nation by empowering people to make healthy choices such as preventing tobacco use and reducing sodium and trans fat consumption and by improving care for people who do need treatment by encouraging a targeted focus on the &amp;quot;ABCS&amp;quot; - aspirin for people at risk, blood pressure control, cholesterol management and smoking cessation. Million Hearts&amp;#153; brings together existing efforts and new programs to improve health across communities and help Americans live longer, healthier, more productive lives. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are the co-leaders of Million Hearts within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, working alongside other federal agencies including the Administration on Aging, National Institutes of Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the Food and Drug Administration, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Office of the National Coordinator, and the Veterans Administration. Key private-sector partners include the American Heart Association, and YMCA, among many others. In FY2015, SAMHSA builds on previous PBHCI funding opportunities by capitalizing on lessons learned from previous PBHCI grantees and the field at large, in order to further develop the coordination and integration of primary care and behavioral health care services. Grantees will be expected to achieve this by strengthening their focus on integrated treatment teams, evidence-based and promising wellness interventions, program structures (e.g., primary care access, information sharing, and treatment planning, etc.), performance monitoring and continuous quality improvement, and sustainability. SAMHSA has demonstrated that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. Behavioral health services improve health status and reduce health care and other costs to society. Continued improvement in the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery provides a cost savings. SAMHSA has identified six Strategic Initiatives to focus the Agency&amp;#146;s work on people and emerging opportunities. More information is available at the SAMHSA website: www.samhsa.gov/about-us. The PBHCI grant program supports SAMHSA&amp;#146;s Strategic Initiative on Health Care and Health Systems Integration, as well as aligns with Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness; Recovery Support; and Health Information Technology. The PBHCI grant program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix G &amp;#150; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) PBHCI is one of SAMHSA&amp;#146;s services grant programs. SAMHSA intends that its services grants result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the 4th month of the project at the latest. PBHCI grants are authorized under 520K of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD and/or Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA. (1) Adults with a serious mental illness (SMI) are defined by SAMHSA as persons age 18 and over, who currently or at any time during the past year, have had a diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder of sufficient duration to meet diagnostic criteria specified within the [DSM-IV], resulting in functional impairment which substan&amp;#172;tially interferes with or limits one or more major life activi&amp;#172;ties. SAMHSA will defer to state definitions of SMI and/or serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI). (2) Anda, R.F., Brown, D.W., Dube, S.R., Bremner, J.D., Felitti, V.J, &amp;amp; Giles, W.H. (2008).

        <Description>Rural and community fire departments are an integral and important component of the nation&amp;apos;s wildland fire community. Their first-response capabilities are crucial to the success of land management agencies in protecting lives and values at risk. Their services result in tremendous cost savings to taxpayers. The goal of the Ready Reserve program is to enhance the safety and effectiveness of rural fire departments responding to wildland fire incidents. Over time, enhanced training and improved local coordination capabilities will facilitate the development of local response organizations in many areas. These organizations will be skilled and prepared sufficiently to safely manage low complexity wildfire incidents within their jurisdictions. Fire management&amp;apos;s primary focus is to reduce risks to communities, protect the public and improvements, and to prevent damage to natural and cultural resources through the prevention and suppression of fires. This program will provide wildland fire training to rural and volunteer fire departments to enhance safety, effectiveness and local response capability in initial attack of wildland fires in or near their communities. Training represents a long-term investment to increase operational safety, boost cooperator preparedness and capability, and to manage suppression costs.</Description>

        <Description>The 3-year project would document the population dynamics of threatened piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) on the Niobrara River in northeastern Nebraska, including the 39-mile and 59-mile segments of the Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR) during the 2015&amp;#150;2016 breeding seasons. Specifically, the project will estimate survival and reproductive output of birds nesting on sandbars on the lower Niobrara, as well as the connection of these birds to the breeding populations throughout the Great Plains. Additionally, the project will examine the relationship between these birds and their habitat using remotely-sensed imagery and monitoring data from various groups and locations along the Niobrara. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this applied research (6.2) topic is to identify, understand, and resolve key issues associated with the operation of a free space optical quantum key distribution (QKD) system that functions in a maritime environment including the development and maturation of algorithms, protocols; and methods that resolve these issues; determine the performance of and demonstrate the capability of these algorithms, protocols and methods in order to understand their benefits and limitations; as well as to identify and provide technical solutions for performance barriers associated with supporting technologies such as single photon sources, detectors, and adaptive optics, needed to support operating in the context of a free space optical QKD system in the maritime environment.Much of the basic research effort related to QKD has been instantiated in fiber optic systems for which many mathematically derived, results regarding security and security weaknesses of the system due to imperfections of the implementation have been recognized and experimentally verified. In the context of the motivating problem - a free space optical QKD system operating in a challenging environment featuring a time varying propagation channel, absorption, and multiple scattering the Office of Naval Research wishes to accelerate the development and understanding of QKD security and the underlying technologies required to successfully operate a QKD link in this challenging environment. While research efforts that employ fiber optics provide valuable insight into the operation and security of QKD systems, the assumption of a near lossless fiber optic propagation channel with no scattering and a static propagation environment is quite different from the environment associated with the motivating problem. This environment presents different challenges regarding the security of QKD protocols, the detection of eavesdroppers, the viability of schemes to maximize the information encoding of a single photon (or packets) that exploit precise timing, and polarization due to self-motion of platforms as well as the time varying propagation. While QKD is often regarded as unconditionally secure, it is known that imperfect implementations of the mathematics associated with QKD, even in fiber optic systems, leads to vulnerabilities in the QKD system. Of particular interest to the Navy is to develop an understanding and characterization of the security implications for QKD in the maritime environment, the development of protocols that simultaneously minimize leakage of information to the environment and the creation of secure networks, as well as schemes to maximize the information carried by a single particle. Additionally, ONR seeks to advance the theoretical understanding of what an eavesdropper might accomplish when the assumptions associated with mathematical QKD security proofs are relaxed particularly the assumptions associated with an omnipotent eavesdropper that has access to all of the missing information, infinite resources, and infinite time in which to operate.The Office of Naval Research intends to initiate a new applied research program focusing on QKD motivated by enabling a free space optical QKD link in a maritime environment as previously described. As a notional aide to identify system issues that could be addressed offerors shall consider the following motivating problem, a free space optical implementation of a QKD protocol that operates between two surface platforms located 30 km apart and that can achieve a key generation rate on the order of 100 Mb/sec.Objective: The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals that:i) Under Topic 1, identify vulnerabilities and potential attacks resulting from the time varying, dispersive maritime environment and the effects of multiple scattering. ii) Under Topic 2, mature, evaluate, and develop the understanding of discrete and continuous protocols that could enable secure communications in a maritime environment as well as develop new protocols that are easily implemented with minimal associated leakage of information to the environment and good security properties including detection of an eavesdropper with low overhead. iii) Under Topic 3, develop methods to maximize the amount of information carried by either a single particle or packet in a discrete or continuous variable protocol, respectively in the context of the motivating problem. iv) Under Topic 4, investigate how conventional signal processing techniques or the QKD protocols themselves could be used to simplify the physical design of the hardware that is used for implementing the QKD protocol, i.e. are there algorithmic methods that are available that could relax the requirements for stabilization, pointing, and tracking; temporal synchronization and jitter control; propagation control. v) Under Topic 5, develop strategies on to how, from a security point of view, to expand a well characterized point to point free space optical QKD link to a network that may include non-trusted nodes.vi) Under Topic 6, identify any other technical issues in the context of the challenge problem to include an argument for the deficiencies in these technologies that need to be overcome.Work funded under a BAA may include basic research, applied research and some advanced technology development (ATD). With regard to any restrictions on the conduct or outcome of work funded under this BAA, ONR will follow the guidance on and definition of &amp;quot;contracted fundamental research&amp;quot; as provided in the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) Memorandum of 24 May 2010. As defined therein the definition of &amp;quot;contracted fundamental research&amp;quot;, in a DoD contractual context, includes [research performed under] grants and contracts that are (a) funded by Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Budget Activity 1 (Basic Research), whether performed by universities or industry or (b) funded by Budget Activity 2 (Applied Research) and performed on campus at a university. The research shall not be considered fundamental in those rare and exceptional circumstances where the applied research effort presents a high likelihood of disclosing performance characteristics of military systems or manufacturing technologies that are unique and critical to defense, and where agreement on restrictions have been recorded in the contract or grant.Pursuant to DoD policy, research performed under grants and contracts that are a) funded by Budget Category 6.2 (Applied Research) and NOT performed on-campus at a university or b) funded by Budget Category 6.3 (Advanced Research) does not meet the definition of &amp;quot;contracted fundamental research.&amp;quot; In conformance with the USD (AT&amp;amp;L) guidance and National Security Decision Direction 189, ONR will place no restriction on the conduct or reporting of unclassified &amp;quot;contracted fundamental research,&amp;quot; except as otherwise required by statute, regulation or Executive Order. For certain research projects, it may be possible that although the research being performed by the prime contractor is restricted research, a subcontractor may be conducting &amp;quot;contracted fundamental research.&amp;quot; In those cases, it is the prime contractor&amp;apos;s responsibility in the proposal to identify and describe the subcontracted unclassified research and include a statement confirming that the work has been scoped, negotiated, and determined to be fundamental research according to the prime contractor and research performer.Normally, fundamental research is awarded under grants with universities and under contracts with industry. ATD is normally awarded under contracts and may require restrictions during the conduct of the research and DoD pre-publication review of research results due to subject matter sensitivity.FAR Part 35 restricts the use of the Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), such as this, to the acquisition of basic and applied research and that portion of advanced technology development not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. Contracts and grants made under BAAs are for scientific study and experimentation directed towards advancing the state of the art and increasing knowledge or understanding.The Research and Development efforts to be funded will consist of applied research. The funds available to support awards are Budget Activity 2. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF TECHNICAL, ENGINEERING AND OTHER TYPES OF SUPPORT SERVICES.</Description>

        <Description>The Western Ecological Research Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a Cooperative Agreement to one Member University of the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The project is titled &amp;#191;Landscape Genetics of Mule Deer in Southern California&amp;#191; This project is aimed at gaining a better understanding of landscape connectivity for mule deer in Southern California, by examining genetics and local population sizes. Several highways in southern California have been identified as genetic barriers for carnivores and other taxa. However, mule deer, have not yet been examined at the same landscape scale to determine if their genetics follow patterns similar to other species, such as bobcats and mountain lions. While mule deer live at higher population densities than carnivores, deer appear to have fewer opportunities for safely crossing highways than the carnivore species around which much connectivity conservation planning is based. The height of deer precludes them from using some undercrossing structures that are accessed by carnivores, and their behavioral ecology and need to avoid predators may make deer more selective about crossing locations. </Description>

        <Description>A collaborative initiative between the HHS Office of Adolescent Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the purpose of this research opportunity is to rigorously evaluate innovative interventions designed for young men aged 15-24 years old to reduce their risk of fathering a teen pregnancy that can be feasibly implemented in target settings (e.g., clinics, schools, community settings, youth-serving organizations, correctional settings). Up to three 5-year research projects willbe funded, with at least one project evaluating an intervention targeted at young men aged 15-19 years. Projects will be funded under either Component A or B, based on the readiness of the intervention to be rigorously evaluated. Applicants will submit a proposal using either: A) an existing intervention that has promising process data and/or some evidence of effectiveness, but has not been rigorously evaluated; or B) a partially developed intervention to be finalized prior to evaluation.Component A and Component B projects will rigorously evaluate the interventions with an experimental approach, package efficacious interventions, and provide CDC and OAH with final intervention package materials , to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use the work for public health purposes, and to authorize others to do so in accordance with applicable grant regulations. In this FOA, the set of activities on evaluation is referred to as Part I.Component A and Component B projects will also obtain and provide training and technical assistance (TTA) that is tailored to the needs of the grantee (internal TTA) and the grantee&amp;#146;s external partners (external TTA) to ensure high-quality implementation and rigorous evaluation of the proposed interventions. In this FOA, the set of activities on training and technical assistance is referred to as Part II.Component A and Component B applications must address both Part I and Part II activities to be considered responsive.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) to increase the number of qualified nursing faculty. The NFLP provides funding to schools of nursing to support the establishment and operation of a distinct, interest-bearing NFLP loan fund. Participating schools of nursing make loans from the fund to assist registered nurses in completing their graduate education to become qualified nurse faculty. The program offers loan cancellation of up to 85 percent for borrowers that graduate and serve as full-time nursing faculty for the prescribed period of time. Accredited schools of nursing are eligible to apply for funding. Eligible schools must offer educator coursework within (as part of) an advanced education nursing degree program(s) that will prepare the graduate student to teach. The goal of the program is to provide financial support to registered nursing students who desire to become nurse educators. The inclusion of educator-focused coursework and practicum components offered as part of the graduate degree programs are intended to prepare students for teaching opportunities in higher education and to make the role transition successfully. NFLP graduates are eligible to teach as nurse educators at the tertiary, secondary and higher education level nursing degree programs. The program includes a statutory priority to increase the number of doctorally prepared nurse educator to teach at higher levels in academia.</Description>

        <Description>Funding for this agreement supports a collaborative project between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and New Mexico State University. The project has two emphasis areas, namely: 1) building baseline information describing mountain lion use of Chihuahuan Desert, habitats home range sizes, movement rates, and habitat associations and 2) cataloging mountain lion prey rates and prey type. This baseline information will occur for approximately 1 year. Subsequently, we will block mountain lions use of wildlife drinkers and evaluate if changes occur in the above metrics-habitat use, prey rates and type. This occurs for a second year. Funding is for personnel time to trap, collar, track, and evaluate kill sites of mountain lions before management actions occur and then monitor lion response after management action. This process documents baseline information and mountain lion responses to the treatments. The project will occur in New Mexico with potential to expand in Arizona. This agreement supports 10 percent indirect costs.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for HRSA&amp;#191;s Maternal and Child Health Bureau&amp;#191;s (MCHB&amp;#191;s) National Hereditary Blood Disorders Program&amp;#191;s Cooperative Agreements to Support Comprehensive Medical Care for Thalassemia (Thalassemia Program) as authorized by &amp;#167; 501(a) (2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2)). The goal of the Thalassemia Program is to support a demonstration project that will improve the identification of individuals with thalassemia and improve access to quality medical services for individuals requiring treatment for thalassemia. Achieving these goals will require that the regional awardees and a national-level partner/awardee work collaboratively to: 1) create a national effort to develop, implement, and maintain a national strategy to identify and assess the needs of individuals with thalassemia in order to assure access to comprehensive care; 2) work with other stakeholders to propose a model protocol for improving the delivery of thalassemia care, including recommendations on the use of transfusions therapy in thalassemia, disease specific screenings, and monitoring and treatment of therapeutic side effects, such as iron overload; 3) implement strategies for increasing access to specialty providers for the thalassemia population, including expansion of specialty provider networks using thalassemia treatment centers, telehealth and other network strategies; and 4) implement strategies for ensuring that thalassemia patients have access to primary care providers who can address non-disease specific issues (general health issues). The Thalassemia Program will consist of two (2) projects: Project 1- Thalassemia Regionalized Collaborative Approach and Project 2 &amp;#191; National-Level Partner. Applicants must indicate whether the submission is for Project 1 or Project 2 and may only apply for one project. Both project awards will be awarded as cooperative agreements. Project 1: Thalassemia Regionalized Collaborative Approach. Approximately $540,000 is expected to be available yearly to fund up to three (3) entities that will lead a regionalized collaborative approach to improving thalassemia care. Applicants may apply for a ceiling amount of up to $180,000 per year. The project period is two (2) years. Project 2: National-Level Partner. Approximately $75,000 is expected to be available yearly to fund one (1) national-level partner. Applicants may apply for a ceiling amount of up to $75,000 per year. The project period is two (2) years.</Description>

        <Description>The Stockton Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), may fund (contingent on avalability of funds) adult salmonid escapement and spawning surveys and the operation of a 5-foot rotary screw trap on the Cosumnes River for the purpose of assessing juvenile migration of Chinook salmon, steelhead, and other fish species in the Cosumnes River. The recipient, Fisheries Foundation of California (FFC), is already in possession of a rotary screw trap that can be used for this effort. FFC has an agreement with the California Department of Fish and Game that this trap will remain available for use in the Cosumnes River into the foreseeable future. The purpose of these surveys and monitoring efforts are to provide data to the AFRP necessary to fulfill the program commitments to restoration activities, and the doubling of natural production of salmon in the Cosumnes River. </Description>

        <Description>Eligible Applicants Public Law 102-588, passed in 1992, authorized NASA to initiate NASA EPSCoR to strengthen the research capability of jurisdictions that have not in the past participated equably in competitive aerospace research activities. The goal of NASA EPSCoR is to provide seed funding that will enable jurisdictions to develop an academic research enterprise directed toward long-term, self-sustaining, nationally-competitive capabilities in aerospace and aerospace-related research. This capability will, in turn, contribute to the jurisdiction&amp;apos;s economic viability and expand the nation&amp;apos;s base for aerospace research and development. Based on the availability of funding, NASA will continue to help jurisdictions achieve these goals through NASA EPSCoR. Funded jurisdictions will be selected through a merit-based, peer-review competition. The following are the specific objectives of NASA EPSCoR: * Contribute to and promote the development of research capability in NASA EPSCoR jurisdictions in areas of strategic importance to the NASA mission; * Improve the capabilities of the NASA EPSCoR jurisdictions to gain support from sources outside the NASA EPSCoR program; * Develop partnerships among NASA research assets, academic institutions, and industry; * Contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science and technology capabilities, higher education, and economic development of the jurisdiction; and * Work in close coordination with the Space Grant consortium in the jurisdiction to improve the environment for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. While proposals can be accepted only from institutions for which the NASA EPSCoR Directors are currently serving, all institutions of higher education within the jurisdiction should be given the opportunity and be made aware of the FY 2015 NASA EPSCoR CAN. The National Science Foundation (NSF) determines overall jurisdiction eligibility for NASA EPSCoR. Details regarding general eligibility are available at: http://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/epscor/eligible.jsp . The following jurisdictions are eligible to submit one proposal to this NASA EPSCoR solicitation: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. South Carolina may submit up to two proposals, provided at least one of the proposals represents a project from the U.S. Virgin Islands (which currently falls under South Carolina&amp;apos;s jurisdiction). Hawaii may submit up to two proposals, provided at least one of the proposals represents a project from Guam (which currently falls under Hawaii&amp;apos;s jurisdiction). Agency Name NASA Headquarters Description The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of Education, in cooperation with NASA&amp;apos;s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD), Human Exploration &amp;amp; Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD), Science Mission Directorates (SMD), the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD), and NASA&amp;apos;s ten centers, solicits proposals for the NASA Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). Each funded NASA EPSCoR proposal is expected to establish research activities that will make significant contributions to NASA&amp;apos;s strategic research and technology development priorities and contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science and technology capabilities, higher education, and economic development of the jurisdiction. The program parameters are: * NASA EPSCoR Jurisdictions responding to this Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) may submit one proposal with the exception of South Carolina and Hawaii which may submit up to two proposals. (See EPSCoR Eligibility and Proposal Acceptance section of the solicitation). * The maximum funding request per proposal is $750,000. This amount is to be expended over a three-year period. * All NASA EPSCoR monies must be cost-shared at a level of at least 50% with non-federal monies. In-kind cost-sharing is allowable. This CAN is available in electronic form through the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) and through Grants.gov.

        <Description>Dengue is an acute febrile illness caused by infection with any of the four dengue viruses (DENV), which are transmitted by selected species of Aedes mosquitoes. Dengue is a major public health problem in the tropics and subtropics, with an estimated 2.5-4 billion people living in areas at risk of infection (40-60% of the world&amp;#146;s population). With an estimated 390 million DENV infections and 100 million cases annually, dengue ranks as the most frequent mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. </Description>

        <Description>The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7 intends to award a single source financial assistance agreement as authorized by 505 DM 2.14 (B) to Terra Peninsular, A.C. This notice is not a request for proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals. Award will be made 15 days after this notice. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services mission is, working with others, to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The goals of the Fish and Wildlife Services Migratory Bird Management Division are to protect, restore, and manage migratory bird populations to: (i) ensure long term ecological sustainability of all migratory bird populations; (ii) increase socioeconomic benefits; (iii) improve hunting and birdwatching, other outdoor bird related experiences; (iv) increase awareness of the value of migratory birds and their habitats for their intrinsic, ecological, recreational and economic significance. Pacific Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) is a subspecies of the brant goose that breeds in Alaska and winters in Baja California and Mexico. Management of Pacific Flyway brant is conducive upon consistent, rigorous and defensible population indices to ensure appropriate adaptive harvest management. The Pacific black brant is a Tier 1 Priority Species for the Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Region; a focal species for the Fish and Wildlife Species; and is considered extremely important to subsistence and recreational waterfowl hunters. Because approximately 80 percent of Pacific Flyway brant overwinter in Mexico, it is essential the Service obtain annual population estimates to assess recreation and subsistence harvest, nonhunting mortality, and other factors influencing survival, mortality and population abundance and trend. Terra Peninsular, A.C. Calle Tercera 1282, Zona Centro, Ensenada Baja California, Mexico has the professional knowledge, skills and abilities to conduct the required ground based and boat based surveys to assess the distribution and abundance of Pacific brant overwintering in bays, estuaries and wetlands in four major coastal lagoons of Baja California (Bahia de San Quintin, Laguna Ojo de Liebre Guerrero Negro, Laguna San Ignacio and Bahia Magdalena) and along the west coast of mainland Mexico from the Colorado River Delta to Bahia Santa Maria in Sinaloa. In addition, Terra Peninsular has the experience necessary to handle all logistics necessary to transport boats, motors, field gear, and personnel to field sites to count brant. This funding opportunity is made under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, 16 U.S.C. (661 to 667) (e) and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 16 U.S.C. 709 (e).</Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for a fiscal year (FY) 2015 Suicide Prevention Resource Center grant. The purpose of this program is to build national capacity for preventing suicide by providing technical assistance, training, and resources to assist states, tribes, organizations, SAMHSA Garrett Lee Smith and other SAMHSA grantees, and individuals to develop suicide prevention strategies (including programs, interventions, and policies) that advance the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (NSSP), with the overall goal of reducing suicides and suicidal behaviors in the nation. This work includes support of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance), and working to advance high-impact objectives of the NSSP. The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) is the nation&amp;#146;s only technical assistance center whose mission is to advance the NSSP, a roadmap for action that if fully implemented would significantly reduce the number of suicide attempts and deaths within this country. Full implementation of the NSSP requires multiple approaches at multiple levels among multiple entities. Effective approaches require a comprehensive, sustained, data-drive strategy; an active, effective community component as well as an active, effective, clinical systems approach; and community systems that include a wide range of public and private partners. SPRC&amp;#146;s work must target approaches, systems, and entities with the highest potential to prevent suicidal crises and save the most lives. All of SPRC&amp;#146;s efforts are driven by the ultimate goal of reducing suicide attempts and deaths in this country. The SPRC grant closely aligns with SAMHSA&amp;#146;s Strategic Initiative on Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness. It also seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial, ethnic, sexual and gender minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial, ethnic, sexual and gender minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix G &amp;#150; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) Consistent with statutory authority, the SPRC also focuses on youth suicide prevention TA and training for the GLS program. The Suicide Prevention Resource Center grant is authorized under Section 520A and 520C of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD. This statutory authority requires SPRC to be awarded as a competitive award.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) recognizes that preventing and ameliorating youth violence requires a shared framework to address the factors that impact violence and victimization at the individual, peer, family, community, and societal levels and promote child and youth well-being. Jurisdictions that work to address these issues benefit from strategic, coordinated training and technical assistance (TTA) and participation in learning communities to help them reach their short- and long-term goals. To facilitate progress, better support youth violence prevention, and promote well-being in localities nationwide, OJJDP invites proposals to broker, coordinate, and provide relevant TTA to the 39 jurisdictions that OJJDP is funding through its three signature youth violence prevention initiatives&amp;#151;the Defending Childhood, National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention, and Community-Based Violence Prevention initiatives. OJJDP invites organizations that preferably represent a partnership or consortium of entities as described in the Eligibility section on the title page to submit applications. This program is authorized pursuant to paragraphs (3)(C) and (D) under the Juvenile Justice Programs heading, and paragraph (11) under the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance heading, in the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2015, P.L.113-235: 128 Stat. 2130, 2193, 2195.</Description>

        <Description>A. Program Description The American Indian Probate Reform Act of 2004 (AIPRA), 25 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 4025(a) created a new Federal probate law that changes the way trust estates are distributed to heirs after a beneficiary&amp;#146;s death. The purpose of AIPRA is to preserve the trust status of Indian lands and to reduce the number of small fractionated interests. Through estate planning, American Indians and Alaska Natives who own assets may wish to create a will or sell, transfer or otherwise consolidate their interests in trust or restricted land. If an American Indian or Alaska Native who own assets does not have a will or estate plan, his/her assets will be distributed after death according to Federal or tribal laws. The purpose of this Program is to facilitate the delivery of estate planning services to American Indians and Alaska Natives who own assets. This Program will provide funding in support of estate planning in efforts to prevent and reverse fractionation. The authority for this program is 25 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 2206.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the MCH Pediatric Research Network Program. The MCH Pediatric Research Network Program will support a translational practice-based pediatric research network that aims to improve the health of children by: conducting collaborative practice-based research to enhance primary care practice, developing evidence-based guidelines based on network research findings, and disseminating and accelerating the translation of research to practice. The network will be diverse and national in scope, enabling the study of racial/ethnic and rural/urban health disparities among children. The MCH Pediatric Research Network Program will identify more effective approaches to promoting children&amp;#191;s health in primary care settings. This will be accomplished through the establishment and ongoing development of a national network of primary care child health professionals who will collaborate in the development and implementation of research designed to increase critical child health care knowledge. This cooperative agreement will support the establishment and ongoing development of a research network that will undertake the following activities: &amp;#183; Form collaborations with a transdisciplinary cadre of pediatric providers, including but not limited to family physicians, nurse practitioners, and other health care professionals in diverse settings such as community health centers, public health departments, and school health centers to broaden the scope of the Network and to ensure the broadest possible inclusion of pediatric providers in network research; &amp;#183; Develop and conduct research studies that address key issues affecting child health and pediatric health care and that integrate cutting-edge technologies and advanced methodologies; &amp;#183; Increase the capacity of network-affiliated primary care practitioners and other affiliates to generate and refine original research studies that address key issues affecting child health and pediatric healthcare; &amp;#183; Advance health equity by providing outreach to and conducting research that addresses the needs of underserved populations, including but not limited to families and children living in poverty, in rural and urban areas, from diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds, with special health care needs, or at high risk of poor developmental outcomes in physical, social, emotional, or cognitive domains. &amp;#183; Develop network infrastructure to enable performance of innovative health informatics-oriented research projects that integrate cutting-edge technologies and advanced methodologies to improve the practice and tools of pediatric providers; &amp;#183; Develop evidence-based guidelines based on network research findings for use by practitioners that will result in improvements in child health care services; &amp;#183; Foster the development and mentorship of junior and new researchers from among network members; &amp;#183; Disseminate critical information on its research findings and guidelines developed to health professionals, policy makers, and the public via peer review publications, presentations, websites, webinars, and other media; &amp;#183; Advance clinical science and accelerate the translation of research to practice; and &amp;#183; Leverage network capacity to implement research studies through both MCHB and external funding sources. 1. Background This program is authorized by Title V of the Social Security Act, section 501(a)(2), as amended (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2)). Multi-site research networks have been critical to health care advances across the spectrum of pediatric care, whether through disease-specific networks or primary care networks. Examples include landmark studies on secondary sexual characteristics, smoking cessation, body mass index reduction and immunization. Because most children are followed by primary care clinicians in community settings, this cooperative agreement is uniquely positioned to generate and develop knowledge essential to the maintenance and advancement of the health of the largest proportion of the pediatric population. MCHB has supported this network since 1986.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the National Maternal and Child Health Epidemiology Doctoral Training Program. The purpose of the National Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Epidemiology Doctoral Training Program is to advance the Maternal and Child Health Bureau&amp;#191;s (MCHB) mission to both train the future MCH workforce and promote advancements in applied MCH research. Specifically, this program is designed to support the research of MCH doctoral students within the field of applied epidemiology. Additionally, this program will enhance state and local epidemiologic capacity for assessment, planning, and, by extension, the delivery of health services to the MCH population by exposing a cohort of MCH doctoral students to data, analytic methods, and frameworks under which applied research is conducted. For the 2015-2018 funding cycle, the objectives of this project are: 1) To provide financial support to doctoral students who conduct state or local level analyses on a topic important to Maternal and Child Health in conjunction with their dissertation. 2) To educate doctoral students in data, analytic methods, and frameworks relevant to state and local MCH programs. 3) To strengthen the evidence base in MCH through publication of dissertation research in national journals. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) encourages public or nonprofit private institutions that train underrepresented minorities in the fields of MCH and epidemiology to apply for this funding opportunity.</Description>

        <Description>NOAA delivers funding and technical expertise to restore Great Lakes coastal habitats. These habitats support valuable fisheries and protected resources; improve the quality of our water; provide recreational opportunities for the public&amp;apos;s use and enjoyment; and buffer our coastal communities from the impacts of changing lake levels. Projects funded through NOAA have strong on-the-ground habitat restoration components that provide social and economic benefits for people and their communities in addition to long-term ecological habitat improvements. Through this solicitation, NOAA seeks to openly compete funding available for habitat restoration in U.S. Great Lakes Areas of Concern (http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/aoc/) under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative as anticipated in the President&amp;apos;s FY2015 Budget. Applications should be submitted for any project that is to be considered for this funding, even for those projects already submitted as applications to other NOAA competitions. Competition will ensure that the most beneficial restoration projects are selected to realize significant ecological gains. Applications selected for funding through this solicitation will be implemented through a grant or cooperative agreement. Funds will be administered by the NOAA Restoration Center (RC). Multi-year cooperative agreement awards will be considered, and additional releases of funds may be used to fund selected proposals through FY17 without further competition. Awards are dependent upon the amount of funds made available to NOAA for this purpose by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. NOAA anticipates approximately $15 million may be available over the next three years to maintain selected awards, dependent upon the level of funding made available by Congress. One, two, or three year proposals will be accepted. Award funding options will include: &amp;#149; For one year requests for habitat implementation proposals, NOAA will not accept applications requesting less than $500,000 or more than $6 million of federal funds. Typical awards for one year requests for habitat restoration implementation are expected to range between $500,000 and $2 million. &amp;#149; For one year requests for engineering and design proposals, NOAA will not accept applications requesting less than $75,000 or more than $350,000. Typical awards for engineering and design are expected to range between $100,000 and $350,000. &amp;#149; For multi-year awards, regardless of the type of proposal, NOAA will not accept applications requesting less than $750,000 and more than $10 million for up to a three year award period. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Regional AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC), a component of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Part F AETC Program. The mission of the AETC Program is to increase the number of health care professionals who are educated to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage people living with HIV (PLWH), and to help prevent high-risk behaviors that lead to HIV transmission. Regional AETCs will provide education, training, consultation, and clinical decision support to health care providers, allied health professionals, and health care support staff, hereafter referred to as a group as health care professionals, who care for PLWH or at high risk of HIV. Training, education, and technical assistance will focus on developing the knowledge, skills, and behaviors of health care professionals within three competency areas: 1) Clinical Care; 2) Teamwork; and 3) Organization and Systems Management. Each Regional AETC will link experts in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of HIV disease to health care professionals and organizations that serve racial/ethnic minorities and other populations disproportionately affected by HIV. Experts will be linked to these health care providers through tailored education, clinical consultation, and technical assistance in an effort to integrate high quality, comprehensive care for those living with or affected by HIV. The overarching goal of the Regional AETCs is to improve the health outcomes of PLWH across the HIV care continuum. This funding opportunity announcement will support eight (8) regional centers tasked with serving all 50 states in the United States, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the six U.S. affiliated Pacific Jurisdictions.</Description>

        <Description>Asset building is an approach to overcoming poverty that emphasizes the value of sound family budgeting, money management, savings, and investment in long term assets. The Office of Community Services (OCS) and the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) have partnered to increase access to and awareness of asset building opportunities in Native American communities. OCS and ANA are program offices within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). OCS and ANA will accept applications to establish and administer asset building projects with a focus on Assets for Independence (AFI) projects. The AFI focus of each project requires that eligible participants are given access to matched savings accounts, called Individual Development Accounts (IDA), in which participants save earned income for the purchase of a home, for business capitalization, or to attend higher education or training. Grantees will provide an array of additonal supports and services to enable low-income individuals and families to become economically self-sufficient for the long term. Additonal services offered to participants may include financial literacy education, credit counseling, coaching on money management and consumer issues, business support, home ownership support services, and other supportive services that enable them to become more financially secure. The IDA portion of the project is funded by OCS. ANA funds may be used to pay for costs associated with project administration and to provide other asset-building strategies. Under the funding opportunity announcement (FOA), applicants will submit 1 application that identifies a single work plan and 2 budgets, that is, a budget for each award. Successful applicants will receive an OCS-AFI award and an ANA-SEDS award.</Description>

        <Description>The Improving Supply Chain Management Systems (ISCMS) project envisages supporting an Indian organization to provide technical expertise to the MOHFW including the CTD and NACO in strengthening the supply chain management system. Support to GOI will be provided at the national level and in six states where USAID is the lead development partner for RMNCH+A interventions and states with the highest burden of child deaths such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan, along with HIV/AIDS high-prevalence states (Maharashtra and other high prevalence states to be determined in consultation with NACO), and select states for TB. The ISCMS project is expected to build on existing platforms and systems established by the GOI, state governments and other development partners in supply chain management and not reinvent tools and systems except when a clear need exists for new options. The project is expected to collaborate and cooperate closely with other development partners, donor organizations and implementing organizations working in the area of supply chain management, and to leverage technical resources for strengthening public sector supply chain management at the national level and in the selected states. The project is expected to focus on the following areas in strengthening supply chain management systems at the national and state level:&amp;#149; Public sector human resource capacity development in several key supply chain management functions.&amp;#149; Strengthening inventory management systems for RMNCH+A, HIV and TB commodities.&amp;#149; Institutional capacity building in supply chain management to provide sustained technical expertise using Indian resources. &amp;#149; Demonstrating adaptation of innovative private sector models to improve delivery of RMNCH+A, HIV/AIDS and TB products in the public sector. Currently USAID/India is using the USAID/Deliver Project, implemented by John Snow Incorporated (JSI), a USAID Washington based mechanism, to respond to the Government of India&amp;#146;s technical support needs in the interim until the project ends in September 2015. The awardee will collaborate closely with the USAID/ Deliver Project until September 2015, planning and implementing activities jointly, and will fully assume the technical support activities to MOHFW including NACO, and CTD after the end of the USAID/Deliver Project. The following are current initiatives of the USAID/Deliver Project:&amp;#149; A comprehensive assessment of supply chain management systems at the national level, and in two states (Jharkhand and Haryana).&amp;#149; Supporting the Government of Haryana in developing key supply chain performance indicators for various functions of the supply chain, and helping to evaluate district performance based on these indicators.&amp;#149; Reviewing the current electronic logistics management information system (eLMIS) developed by the Government of Haryana, and provide suggestions and technical support to improve its operations (e.g. uniform and standardized ordering and re-supply rules featured in the eLMIS, emergency automated ordering points, documentation of standard operating procedures, etc.)&amp;#149; Conducting a network analysis for the Government of Haryana to review their current distribution system and determine the best options for transportation and additional warehousing needs (if any)&amp;#149; Supporting the newly created Jharkhand Medical and Health Infrastructure Development and Procurement Corporation Ltd. in Jharkhand to develop its management systems, operating procedures, and operationalize its functions. &amp;#149; Reviewing of existing eLMIS programs for inventory control in different states, to optimize approaches to improvements in the logistics management information system and recommend adaptation of specific models or aspects of the models to the states that are in the process of developing eLMIS. &amp;#149; Cooperation with Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and NACO for implementation of the electronic Inventory Management System (IMS) for centrally procured HIV/AIDS program commodities.&amp;#149; Supporting NACO in recruiting World Bank supported Procurement and Logistics Coordinators at national, regional and state level.&amp;#149; Developing standard operating procedures for various supply chain management functions for the states of Haryana, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh.&amp;#149; Capacity development of key supply chain management functionaries in the state of Jharkhand, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh though a supply chain foundation course. Building on the inputs listed above, illustrative activities for the ISCMS project include:i. Support NHM, National AIDS Control Project - IV (NACP - IV), Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP), and selected states to develop and operationalize national and state level strategic plans on supply chain management.ii. Provide technical support in establishing systems for effective forecasting, procurement, and inventory management functions at the national, state, and district level.iii. Provide technical support to NHM, NACP - IV, and RNTCP to establish dashboard and performance indicators for supply chain management and to institutionalize periodic supply chain management monitoring and audit systems.iv. Provide technical support to NHM, NACP - IV, RNTCP, and selected states to prioritize, develop, and adopt, where appropriate, new technology-based solutions for strengthening supply chain management.v. Support periodic needs assessment of national, state, and facility-level systems and personnel involved in forecasting, procurement, and supply chain management.vi. Build the knowledge and skills of state and national supply chain human resources to support effective supply chain functions. vii.

        <Description>The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Headquarters&amp;apos; Civil Rights (HCR) Office requests Statements of Work (SOWs) for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 NSTI Program. The NSTI program is a Science, Technology and Math (STEM) focused program for high school and junior high school students. It is administered by accredited colleges, community colleges and universities, accredited Tribal colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Asian-American Native American Pacific Island Serving Institutions (ANAPISI) throughout the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Pacific Island territories and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These institutions make application to the State DOT to serve as NSTI &amp;#147;Host sites.&amp;#148; State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) provide NSTI program oversight to the host sites. The Civil Rights Specialists of FHWA&amp;#146;s Division Offices provide program guidance to the State DOTs in their oversight of the NSTI program. Academic institutions interested in serving as host sites must complete and submit their application package to the State DOT. NSTI program objectives are to improve STEM skills, provide awareness to middle and high school students - particularly minority, female and disadvantaged youth - about transportation careers, and encourage them to consider transportation-related courses of study in their higher education pursuits. Host sites are required to commit significant program time to classroom participation. The length of the program is typically 2-4 consecutive weeks. Host sites may be student day programs or residential programs in which room and board are provided by the Host Sites to the students. </Description>

        <Description>The Arts Endowment&amp;#146;s support of a project may begin any time between January 1, 2016, and January 1, 2017, and extend for up to two years. Grant Program Description The NEA Literature Fellowships program offers $25,000 grants in prose (fiction and creative nonfiction) and poetry to published creative writers that enable recipients to set aside time for writing, research, travel, and general career advancement. Applications are reviewed through an anonymous process in which the only criteria for review are artistic excellence and artistic merit. To review the applications, the NEA assembles a different advisory panel every year, each diverse with regard to geography, race and ethnicity, and artistic points of view. The NEA Literature Fellowships program operates on a two-year cycle with fellowships in prose and poetry available in alternating years. For FY 2016, which is covered by these guidelines, fellowships in prose (fiction and creative nonfiction) are available. Fellowships in poetry will be offered in FY 2017 and guidelines will be available in the fall of 2015. You may apply only once each year. Competition for fellowships is extremely rigorous. We typically receive more than 1,000 applications each year in this category and award fellowships to fewer than 5% of applicants. You should consider carefully whether your work will be competitive at the national level. </Description>

        <Description>There are a multiple states, counties, cities, and tribes that are interested in implementing &amp;#147;Swift, Certain, and Fair&amp;#148; (SCF) models of supervision with offenders in the community. This interest has grown out of the potential promise that these SCF models have shown in effectively reducing recidivism and preventing crime. In particular, Hawaii&amp;#146;s Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE) program has been shown to have promise, and as a result there is significant interest and activity in implementing models of supervision and other versions of the HOPE model which rely on swift, certain, and fair sanctions to improve the outcomes of individuals under community supervision.SCF approaches are intended to: (a) improve supervision strategies that reduce recidivism; (b) promote and increase collaboration among agencies and officials who work in community corrections and related fields to enhance swift and certain sanctions; (c) enhance the offenders&amp;#146; perception that the supervision decisions are fair, consistently applied, and consequences are transparent; and (d) improve the outcomes of individuals participating in these initiatives. Through this FY 2015 grant announcement, BJA will select multiple applicants to implement or enhance a HOPE model using SCF. Applicants selected under this announcement will work with BJA and its SCF training and technical assistance (TTA) partner to implement the model with fidelity.BJA is supporting this effort to enhance public safety, foster collaboration, and improve the outcomes of individuals under the supervision of community corrections. This program is funded under the Project HOPE appropriation (P.L. 113-235).</Description>

        <Description>The DoD Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI), one element of the University Research Initiative (URI), is sponsored by the DoD research offices: the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Army Research Office (ARO), and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) (hereafter collectively referred to as &amp;quot;DoD agencies&amp;quot;).The MURI program supports basic research in science and engineering at U.S. institutions of higher education (hereafter referred to as &amp;quot;universities&amp;quot;) that is of potential interest to DoD. The program is focused on multidisciplinary research efforts where more than one traditional discipline interacts to provide rapid advances in scientific areas of interest to the DoD. As defined by the DoD, &amp;#147;basic research is systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. It includes all scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. It is farsighted high payoff research that provides the basis for technological progress.&amp;#148; (DoD 7000.14.R, vol. 2B, chap.5). DoD&amp;#146;s basic research program invests broadly in many specific fields to ensure that it has early cognizance of new scientific knowledge</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities program. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement is to support States in developing and implementing innovative programs to address the oral health workforce needs of designated Dental HPSAs. Funds must be used to develop and implement a workforce program(s) designed to support innovative oral health service delivery models that will increase access to high quality oral health services for underserved populations located in Dental HPSAs or in other areas specifically designated as underserved by the State&amp;#8217;s Governor. Eligible applicants include only Governor-designated, State government entities, such as the office of the State&amp;#8217;s dental director or a State-run university or dental school. Applications must define how the State government will be actively involved in the project, including defining the State&amp;#8217;s investment of resources to the project and any planned coordination of activities at the State level. As mandated by statute, States must demonstrate commitment to their projects by providing a 40 percent non-Federal match. Applicants are encouraged to define how they will leverage State laws, regulations and policies to meet the oral health workforce needs of underserved populations within the State. Applications for this program must propose innovative oral health care delivery models to address a State&amp;#8217;s oral health workforce needs. Applicants must choose from one or more of the following six Focus Areas: 1. Integrating oral and primary care medical delivery systems for underserved communities; 2. Programs to support oral health providers practicing in advanced roles specifically designed to improve oral health access in underserved communities; 3. Practice support through teledentistry to improve access for underserved communities; 4. Community-based prevention service programs for underserved populations, such as water fluoridation and dental sealant programs; 5. Programs to establish or expand oral health services and facilities in Dental HPSAs, such as the establishment or expansion of community-based dental facilities, free-standing dental clinics, school-linked dental facilities, and mobile or portable dental clinics; and 6. Grants and low-interest or no-interest loans to help dentists who participate in the Medicaid program to enhance capacity, such as through equipment purchases or the sharing of overhead costs to allow for additional hours of operation. Applicants will be required to clearly describe how the proposal is innovative and how the program is expected to improve access and quality of care for underserved populations. To support the proposal to develop and implement an innovative oral health care delivery model, funds may be used for the following: &amp;#183; To partner with dental training institutions to ensure providers are prepared to practice and lead in the State&amp;#8217;s innovative service delivery models. Training may be targeted at any level of education, including continuing dental education, and may include establishment or expansion of dental residency programs in States without dental schools, with the primary focus of encouraging trainees to ultimately practice in a Dental HPSA within the State; and/or &amp;#183; To expand the State dental office to support the proposed grant activities, including enhancing capacity to develop and analyze data and policy related to oral health access and workforce needs of Dental HPSAs. Because each State&amp;#8217;s racial and ethnic composition may vary, applicants will be encouraged to recruit, train, and retain a workforce that is reflective of the diversity of their State such as underrepresented minorities, and/or those from rural or disadvantaged backgrounds. Applicants should describe the current diversity of the oral health workforce in relation to their State and outline a plan to address diversity in the proposed project.</Description>

        <Description>NIJ is seeking proposals for research and evaluation on violence against women, and specifically intimate partner and sexual violence. For example, NIJ is interested in proposals to examine the effectiveness of specialized police and court-based units, services, and methods related to intimate partner and sexual violence. NIJ is also interested in research on the development, adaptation, and testing of screening tools used for the identification of intimate partner violence in family court proceedings&amp;#151;specifically for cases involving child custody. Although specific areas of interest have been identified, other topics that offer important insights into violence against women will also be accepted for review.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Navy Communications Site project area (hereinafter referred to as &amp;#147;Range Station 21&amp;#148;) is operated by Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) and located on Muses Beach along the Potomac River in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Shoreline stabilization measures are necessary to arrest shoreline erosion that is threatening to undercut the access road to Range Station 21. The proposed project area is approximately 130 linear feet of Muses Beach in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Range Station 21 is located on private land and leased by the Navy in support of military operations at Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren; however, the proposed project area is outside the area leased by the Navy and will require the successful cooperator to negotiate a right of entry (ROE) or real estate interest with the property owner. The primary purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to provide services to design and construct a shoreline erosion control structure on private property to further protect the access road to Range Station 21. The intent of these efforts is to mitigate shoreline erosion, which threatens the access road and thus the accessibility to the existing Navy range monitoring station. No land reclamation is intended in this effort. The shoreline stabilization will support military operational requirements at NSF Dahlgren and benefit efforts to improve water quality of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay.</Description>

        <Description>The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Cutting-Edge Basic Research Award (CEBRA) is designed to foster highly innovative or conceptually creative research related to drug abuse and addiction and how to prevent and treat them. It supports research that is high-risk and potentially high-impact that is underrepresented or not included in NIDA&amp;apos;s current portfolio. The proposed research should: (1) test a highly novel and significant hypothesis for which there are scant precedent or preliminary data and which, if confirmed, would have a substantial impact on current thinking; and/or (2) develop or adapt innovative techniques or methods for addiction research, or that have promising future applicability to drug abuse research.</Description>

        <Description>The project would consist of the field reconnaissance of springs and selected wells within each of the subregions. All work would be conducted under the oversight of a California Professional Geologist and Certified Hydrogeologist. A nongovernmental organization (NGO) and the hydrogeologist will work with BLM to identify the final list of springs and wells for each subarea. Spring monitoring would be conducted along the general guidelines presented in Dr. Donald Sada&amp;#191;s spring reconnaissance methodology prepared for the Desert Managers Group (DMG) but focusing on the hydrologic aspects of his spring method. While biological data will be critical future data to be collected, in the end, biological resources at the springs are tied to the viability of the water source. Further, hydrologic data are easier to accurately quantify and measure with repeatability as opposed to changes in biological resources. The information gathered during this task will inform future biological surveys, eliminating the time spent on far-ranging locations that may otherwise have little value. Additionally, the field reconnaissance will inform any plans for follow-up geochemical sampling of spring water.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this FOA is to develop and test organizational and systems level interventions to determine how best to provide comprehensive, high quality, integrated, sustainable, cost-effective interventions to improve the health outcomes of PLWH with substance use disorders and other comorbid conditions. This FOA will support: 1) multidisciplinary research to enhance the adoption and integration of evidence-based screening and treatment of substance abuse in HIV centers and closely related medical settings; and 2) multidisciplinary research to increase the adoption and integration of HIV testing and linkage to HIV care in addiction treatment settings. In both HIV and addiction treatment settings, research to enhance the adoption and integration of treatment services for comorbid conditions (e.g. coinfections, psychiatric disorders) is encouraged. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to examine delivery models of HIV-focused services (testing, linkage, engagement and retention in care) for high risk or already HIV+ infected youth and young adults. Applications should incorporate substance use into study aims and service delivery objectives should address access to substance use prevention, screening, and treatment. Applications examining interventions that focus only on individual-level behavior and outcomes will be considered non-responsive, given the systemic and structural determinants of serostatus screening, treatment retention and viral suppression, which are the most striking areas of deficit among youth in the Seek, Test, Treat, and Retain continuum of care. The developmental, structural, and systemic factors related to serving youth need to be clearly incorporated into study aims, rather than simple incremental refocusing of existing interventions to younger people.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research focused on the inception and early-stage development of highly innovative molecular or cellular analysis technologies for basic and clinical cancer research. The emphasis of this FOA is on supporting the development of novel molecular and cellular analysis capabilities with a high degree of technical innovation with the potential to significantly affect and transform investigations exploring the molecular and cellular basis of cancer. If successful, these technologies should accelerate and/or enhance research in the areas of cancer biology, early detection and screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. Technologies proposed for development may be intended to have widespread applicability but must be based on molecular and/or cellular characterizations of cancer. This funding opportunity is part of a broader NCI-sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program.</Description>

        <Description>Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease and is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) with a target of eradication by 2015 and polio free certification date of 2018. There is no cure, but there are safe and effective vaccines. CDC Director Thomas Frieden, MD, MPH, has designated polio eradication an agency-wide priority through activation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for the last 32 months for global polio response activities. The US congress has included a significant increase in polio funding for fiscal year 2014 with a mandate to work with all government and non-government partners to eradicate polio (Congressional committee records, 2013). CDC is one of five spearheading partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) providing technical and financial support to implement polio eradication activities globally. GPEI has four strategies to meet this target for polio eradication: routine immunization, supplementary immunization, acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance, and targeted &amp;#8220;mop-up&amp;#8221; campaigns.Although the entire African region is at risk, polio remains endemic in Nigeria and ongoing outbreaks have occurred in central and east African countries. Until polio transmission is interrupted in these countries, polio will remain a risk throughout the region and the world. This program will support the US Government endorsed GPEI and the Global Immunization Vision and Strategy, 2006-2015.As evidenced by recent outbreaks and WHO/CDC risk assessments (&amp;#8216;Assessing the Risks for Poliovirus Outbreaks&amp;#8217;, MMWR, September 2013), public health workers at the local and national level in polio endemic Nigeria, polio outbreak countries in east and central African countries and other at-risk countries in the African region do not have the adequate expertise to conduct polio activities effectively for urgent and sustained polio eradication. There is a critical need to expand National Stop Transmission of Polio (NSTOP), a joint initiative with CDC and the Africa Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET) started in 2012. This program utilizes a field epidemiology training network to develop local workforce capacity to conduct polio eradication and immunization activities at the lowest level of government and within the community. The focus for these activities is Nigeria, east and central African countries and other at-risk countries in the African region.</Description>

        <Description>This initiative is funded through the NIH Common Fund, which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have exceptionally high impact. All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress. This U24 Cooperative Agreement Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support the NIH Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) Resource and Coordinating Center (RCC), which will coordinate the activities of between five and nine UH2/UH3 Target Validation Projects. The initial UH2/UH3 awards will be made in response to three companion FOAs (RFA-RM-14-018, RFA-RM-14-019, RFA-RM-14-020) that will focus on identifying and validating targets in the three specific behavioral domains of self-regulation, stress reactivity and stress resilience, and interpersonal and social processes. The overall goal of the SOBC Program is to transform behavioral intervention designs by implementing the experimental medicine approach to behavior change research. The overall goal of the RCC will be to provide national leadership for the coordinated efforts of projects and initiatives of SOBC to validate assays for behavior change, with five specific objectives described in this FOA. The RCC will also serve as the central resource for the organization of the meetings and other activities of the SOBC program, including the support of its Steering Committee and External Scientific Panel, and any SOBC steering committee subcommittees that are established. Please refer to the SOBC website regularly for updates, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and other announcements related to this FOA and the companion FOAs.

        <Description>The goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to encourage research on the genetic basis of variability in therapeutic drug responses and adverse events in individuals with painful conditions of the dental, and orofacial region. The objectives are to determine the role of genetic variability in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug toxicities that contribute to and predict the clinical outcomes of analgesic treatment of individuals with acute and chronic pain conditions. Delineation of genetic variation in drug and neurotransmitter metabolizing enzymes and transporters, drug target molecules such as enzymes and receptors, and associated post-receptor intracellular signaling pathway molecules is an important outcome of this FOA. Identification of key molecular signatures that are predictive of a therapeutic response is a second objective. Clinical and basic science researchers are encouraged to form multidisciplinary teams to effectively address the goals of this FOA. The ability to categorize individuals who differ in their responses to analgesic therapy will aid health care providers in their ability to prescribe the best treatments for acute and chronic pain patients with a personalized/ precision approach. Although this FOA is focused on orofacial pain, it also may serve as a catalyst for the pain research community to explore new pharmacogenomics studies in chronic pain conditions that overlap with temporomandibular joint disorder.</Description>

        <Description>This initiative is funded through the NIH Common Fund, which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have exceptionally high impact. All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress. This Phased Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications to support a collaborative research infrastructure involving an interdisciplinary team of basic and clinical scientists to develop the foundation for an experimental medicine approach to behavior change. Research supported by this FOA is meant to support activities focused on behavior change targets in the domain of interpersonal and social processes through four main target validation steps: 1. Identify a set of putative targets within the interpersonal and social processes domain that are implicated in medical regimen adherence and at least one other health behavior; 2. Leverage existing or develop new experimental or intervention approaches to engage identified targets; 3. Identify or develop appropriate assays (measures) to permit verification of target engagement; 4. Test the degree to which engaging identified targets produces a desired change in medical regimen adherence and at least one other health behavior. While testing target engagement in specific clinical samples is permitted, the targets identified and the behavior change outcomes measured should be selected based on their hypothesized relevance to at least two clinical endpoints or disease conditions. Funds from the NIH will be made available through the UH2/UH3 Phased Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement mechanism.The initial UH2 phase will support steps 1-3 above. UH2 projects that have met their objectives and agreed upon milestones will be administratively considered by NIH and prioritized for transition to the UH3 validation phase to complete step 4 above. Projects proposed in response to this FOA will require multidisciplinary efforts and therefore all applicant teams must include expertise in basic and clinical science. Investigators responding to this FOA must address both UH2 and UH3 phases. The output of these UH2/UH3 Target Validation Projects, to be facilitated by a Resource and Coordinating Center (RCC) funded under a companion FOA RFA-RM-14-017, will be a toolkit of validated and documented assays of specific targets in the domain of interpersonal and social processes, and experimental manipulations/interventions that engage those targets. Please refer to the Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) website regularly for updates, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and other announcements related to this FOA and the companion FOAs.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects on the inception and early-stage development of technologies that address issues related to pre-analytical degradation of targeted analytes during the collection, processing, handling, and storage of cancer-relevant biospecimens. The overall goal is to support the development of highly innovative technologies capable of interrogating and/or maximizing the quality and utility of biospecimens or samples derived from those biospecimens for downstream analyses. This FOA will support the development of tools, devices, instrumentation, and associated methods to assess sample quality, preserve/protect sample integrity, and establish verification criteria for quality assessment/quality control and handling under diverse conditions. These technologies are expected to potentially accelerate and/or enhance research in cancer biology, early detection, screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and cancer health disparities, by reducing pre-analytical variations that affect biospecimen sample quality. This funding opportunity is part of a broader NCI-sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing research projects on the advanced development of emerging molecular and cellular analysis technologies and validation in an appropriate cancer-relevant biological system. An emerging technology is defined as one that has passed the pilot developmental stage and shows promise, but has not yet been significantly evaluated within the context of its intended use. If successful, these technologies would accelerate research in cancer biology, cancer treatment and diagnosis, early detection and screening, cancer control and epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. This FOA solicits R33 applications where proof-of-principle of the proposed technology or methodology has been established and supportive preliminary data are available. Projects proposed to this FOA should reflect the potential to produce a molecular analysis technology with a major impact in cancer-relevant research. Projects proposing to use established technologies where the novelty resides in the biological or clinical question being pursued are not appropriate for this FOA and will not be reviewed. This funding opportunity is part of a broader NCI-sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program.</Description>

Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES-2014 NRA.

All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress. This Phased Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications to support a collaborative research infrastructure involving an interdisciplinary team of basic and clinical scientists to develop the foundation for an experimental medicine approach to behavior change. Research supported by this FOA is meant to support activities focused on behavior change targets in the domain of stress reactivity and stress resilience through four main target validation steps: 1. Identify a set of putative targets within the stress reactivity and stress resilience domain that are implicated in medical regimen adherence and at least one other health behavior;; 2. Leverage existing or develop new experimental or intervention approaches to engage identified targets; 3. Identify or develop appropriate assays (measures) to permit verification of target engagement; 4. Test the degree to which engaging identified targets produces a desired change in medical regimen adherence and at least one other health behavior. While testing target engagement in specific clinical samples is permitted, the targets identified and the behavior change outcomes measured should be selected based on their hypothesized relevance to at least two clinical endpoints or disease conditions. Funds from the NIH will be made available through the UH2/UH3 Phased Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement mechanism.The initial UH2 phase will support steps 1-3 above. UH2 projects that have met their objectives and agreed upon milestones will be administratively considered by NIH and prioritized for transition to the UH3 validation phase to complete step 4 above. Projects proposed in response to this FOA will require multidisciplinary efforts and therefore all applicant teams must include expertise in basic and clinical science. Investigators responding to this FOA must address both UH2 and UH3 phases. The output of these UH2/UH3 Target Validation Projects, to be facilitated by a Resource and Coordinating Center (RCC) funded under a companion RFA-RM-14-017, will be a toolkit of validated and documented assays of specific targets in the domain of stress reactivity and stress resilience, and experimental manipulations/interventions that engage those targets.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Recruitment and Retention Analysis Cooperative Agreement. The purpose of the Rural Recruitment and Retention Analysis Cooperative Agreement is to identify and assess trends, tools, resources and successful strategies used by rural communities to recruit and retain needed staff across key sectors of the rural health care delivery system. This will include primary care providers, behavioral health and oral health providers, allied health providers, as well as Rural Health Network Directors and Rural Telehealth Network Directors. The awardee will identify successful tools and strategies used by States, health systems and individual providers to attract the staff necessary to support health care services in rural communities. The awardee will also identify gaps in these areas and propose potential responses to these gaps that will inform rural stakeholders and policymakers. The awardee will focus on helping to foster connections between existing national and State resources to support successful recruitment and retention. The overarching goal is to enhance responsiveness to the challenges faced by rural communities in attracting the workforce needed to meet emerging needs, particularly in an evolving health care system where insurance coverage expansion brings both new opportunities and new challenges.1 This program, a cooperative agreement, requires an ongoing partnership and a collaborative relationship with the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy in the selection of projects and in the development and implementation of the activities submitted in the work plan. Specifically, the Rural Recruitment and Retention Analysis Cooperative Agreement will work toward: &amp;#183; Conducting an inventory and developing a narrative report of the different rural recruitment and retention strategies currently utilized. There will be a particular emphasis on analyzing nationwide and State-based programs, initiatives and strategies. Existing health system and provider initiatives will also be reviewed. Tools and approaches currently employed will be identified. Typical recruitment costs and types of retention activities will be analyzed. Unique rural challenges subsequent to the Affordable Care Act in the areas of clinical practice, Telehealth and rural health networks will be highlighted. This component will include, but not be limited to, reviewing programs and activities associated with the National Health Service Corps, Area Health Education Centers (AHECs), Conrad State 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program, National Rural Recruitment and Retention Network (3RNet), National Cooperative of Health Networks Association (NCHN), State Office of Rural Health (SORH) and State Rural Health Association (SRHA) initiatives, tracking tools such as TruServe and Practice Sights, the Community Apgar Program and additional software and commercial products as identified; &amp;#183; Working with appropriate State-level experts to understand the current state of practice in rural recruitment and retention and emerging challenges and trends to inform future policy and programmatic needs; &amp;#183; Identifying successful models, why they are successful and what areas of commonality exist between them. This will emphasize the practical experience from the field &amp;#191; what works, what does not work and what is not known regarding successful approaches; &amp;#183; Identifying the gaps between existing rural recruitment and retention resources and proposing potential responses to alleviate these gaps; &amp;#183; Analyzing the particular health workforce needs in communities of color, where recruitment and retention challenges can be especially acute. A focus on how to assist these communities in identifying appropriate strategies will be emphasized; &amp;#183; Analyzing the extent to which the unique recruitment and retention challenges of Rural Health Network Directors and Rural Telehealth Network Directors are addressed; and &amp;#183; Informing rural stakeholders and policymakers of key findings and potential responses to the ongoing challenges of recruitment and retention of a viable rural health workforce. Recommendations regarding sustainability and more efficient use of resources will be emphasized. The Rural Recruitment and Retention Analysis Cooperative Agreement is envisioned to be a centralized, evidence-based, &amp;#191;one-stop&amp;#191; information portal for rural communities, rural stakeholders and rural policymakers to access the full range of programs, best-practice resources and research available to organize an effective approach for rural recruitment and retention of health professionals.</Description>

        <Description>NIJ is seeking multidisciplinary research and evaluation proposals related to childhood exposure to violence. Such violence may include children who are direct victims and/or bystanders or observers of various forms of violence in the home, school, or community, including but not limited to peer victimization, bullying, harassment, child maltreatment, domestic violence, and community violence. Other types of violence to which children are exposed may be addressed, with the exception of media violence (e.g., television and movie violence, music advocating aggression, and violent video games). In particular, NIJ seeks proposals that address justice system responses to children identified as being exposed to violence; polyvictimization and multisystem involvement; and resilience and help-seeking.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this program is to reduce overall population morbidity and mortality, with an emphasis on HIV, and tuberculosis, mother to child transmission of HIV and maternal and child health. This reduction in population morbidity and mortality will be realized through increasing the effectiveness, sustainability, equity and efficiency of district-based planning, budgeting and implementation processes in selected districts in Malawi, and supporting evidence-based prevention, care and treatment interventions at the facility level. Health systems are dynamic, underpinning the need for districts to develop context specific activities to achieve the desired outcomes, and the need to empower management teams to adapt approaches to effectively scale-up interventions. This will be supported by capacity building which includes both clinical and health systems mentorship and coaching. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE The USAID Mission in Central Asia invites all eligible organizations with experience in carrying out activities to promote good governance and support civil society capacity building to attend a Bidder&amp;#146;s Teleconference related to a competitive funding opportunity - the USAID Governance Support Program in Turkmenistan. USAID will present a brief overview of the program. For more information about this funding opportunity, please visit www.grants.gov and search for &amp;#147;Governance Support Program&amp;#148; then click on Funding Opportunity &amp;#147;RFA-176-15-000001&amp;#148; at the top of the page, then click on the &amp;quot;Full Announcement&amp;quot; tab at the top to download a copy of the RFA. The teleconference will be held on Wednesday, January 21, 2015, from 9:00 am - 10:00 am EST. Interested organizations must pre-register and are limited to registering a maximum of two people per organization to participate on the call. Please register by sending the organization&amp;#146;s name, name(s) of attendees, email address and telephone number to zkoxalova@usaid.gov and nvirt@usaid.gov by Monday, January 19, 2015, 9 pm EST. All organizations that have pre-registered will receive an email with the call-in information. The purpose of this proposed four-year activity titled &amp;#147;Governance Support Program&amp;#148; (GSP) is to strengthen the accountability, effectiveness and transparency of governance in Turkmenistan. This will be achieved by implementing activities that will actively work in Turkmenistan&amp;#146;s priority areas to introduce theoretical and practical fundamentals of good governance in accordance with best international practices primarily to executive branch civil servants and secondarily to legislative branch civil servants. Further, activities must be designed to increase transparency and incorporate more effective public sector dialogue with civil society, since accountability mechanisms cannot work if there is an informational imbalance between the supply and demand sides of the public service delivery equation. Specifically, USAID is seeking to support achievement of the following objectives:1. Improved Public Administration of Government of Turkmenistan (GOTX) Institutions2. Strengthened Policy Development and Lawmaking Processes The GSP will directly support Intermediate Results (IR) 3.1 and 3.2 under the USAID/CA Regional Development Cooperation Strategy (RDCS) Objective 3, &amp;#147;More Effective and Inclusive Governance Institutions that Serve the Public Good.&amp;#148;As government institutions clarify their roles and the respective services they offer to the general public, including civil society and private sector enterprises, the achievement of good governance and other development goals in education, economic growth, and health among others become increasingly realistic. This program sets the foundation not only for good governance, but also for broader achievement of development goals across various disciplines.</Description>

        <Description>Applications for the Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (PH/TBI) Research Program Announcement (PA) for Workplace Violence in the Military are being solicited by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, Defense Health Program (DHP). The PH/TBI Research Program was established in FY07 for the purpose of complementing ongoing Department of Defense (DoD) efforts towards promoting optimal care for PH (including workplace violence across the DoD service areas) and TBI in the areas of prevention, detection and intervention. This includes research to benefit service members, their family members, veterans and other beneficiaries of the Military Health System (MHS). The Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) is administering the application process for this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity, and the United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) is issuing this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity for Workplace Violence in the Military and will be negotiating all resulting awards. US Warfighters endure increasingly demanding and high tempo conditions both in garrison and in the combat field of operations in order to keep pace with ongoing wartime mission requirements. In addition to the loss of lives overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other theatre of operations, Warfighters have lost their lives on an Army post stemming from acts of violence in the workplace. The tragic shooting of military personnel at Fort Hood in November 2009 highlighted the need for the DoD to thoroughly review its approach to force health protection and to broaden their historical focus on hostile external threats. The DoD force protection policies, programs, and procedures need to be improved and integrated into a cohesive and comprehensive approach. This Program Announcement stems directly from recommendations yielded from the Independent Review Related to Fort Hood. Specifically, the Independent Review determined that DoD programs, policies, process and procedures that address identification of indicators for violence and radicalization are outdated, incomplete, and fail to include key indicators of potentially violent behaviors. It was also determined that currently the DoD has no risk assessment system available to supervisors and commanders to assist them in the identification, mitigation, and tracking of internal threats. The Independent Review also outlined actions needed to identify behavioral indicators of violence. The primary focus of this Program Announcement is behavioral-based predictors of potential targeted acts of violence in the workplace. Targeted violence refers to deliberate and planned violent acts toward a specific target or set of targets. Such acts may also include threatening or intimidating behavior as precursors to the intended violent activity. Targeted violent behavior is not to be confused with random or impulsive violent acts. The intent of this Program Announcement is not to focus on targeted acts of violence that have previously been extensively studied (e.g., acts of terrorism, sexual assault, child abuse). The primary environment for both studies is the occupational setting. Domestic violence and child abuse are not a primary focus; however, they may constitute a component of workplace violence if the individual is in uniform as they are considered on duty 24/7, and/or if the physical assault occurs in garrison. While not the primary focus, it is expected that the results of both the prospective and retrospective studies will yield data and information that will be valuable to civilian authorities and mental health professionals as they develop policies and protocols to address an ever-increasingly violent society. The public purpose/military relevance of this research is that it is anticipated to lead to approaches that would help to mitigate the risk of potential targeted violence in the workplace. </Description>

        <Description>Naval Support Facility Indian Head (NSFIH), Naval Support Facility Dahlgren (NSFDL), Naval Air Station Patuxent River Complex (NAS Pax River), and Blossom Point Research Facility (BPRF) are all installations that are surrounded by water, making them advantageous for bald eagle nesting. The surrounding water bodies include the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent River. Because of the various missions at these installations, it is important to know where the eagles are nesting and to monitor the productivity of the nests. Collecting this data also provides more information on bald eagle population trends in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. This study will be conducted throughout Naval Support Facility Indian Head (including NSF Stump Neck), Naval Support Facility Dahlgren (including Pumpkin Neck), Naval Air Station Patuxent River Complex (including OLF Webster Field, NRC Solomons Island and Bloodsworth Island Range) and Blossom Point Research Facility, targeting known bald eagle nest sites as well as potential nesting habitats. Continuing with these measures demonstrates the Navy&amp;#146;s commitment to Bald Eagle conservation. See attached scope of work for additional details.</Description>

        <Description>The Federal Highway Administration&amp;#146;(FHWA) announces a Notice of Funding Opportunity for &amp;quot;SHRP2 Education Connection.&amp;quot; The FHWA hereby requests applications to result in the award of up to 10 cooperative agreements for the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) Education Connection. The purpose of the SHRP2 Education Connection is to increase awareness and understanding of SHRP2 products in the academic arena by incorporating SHRP2 products into collegiate level lesson plans and curricula. The SHRP2 products were developed to solve transportation problems and, therefore, lend themselves to transportation curricula such as civil and environmental engineering, and transportation planning. However, the SHRP2 products are applicable to other departments such as urban planning, economics, government, and human resources. This effort will allow the value and benefits of the SHRP2 national investment to extend through the next generation of transportation professionals. Incorporating SHRP2 products into university and college courses will expose future engineers and other transportation professionals to new tools, processes, and innovations that address emerging transportation issues and challenges. For the purpose of the planned award, FHWA will focus on three of the four SHRP2 focus area: Reliability, Renewal, and Capacity. SHRP2 is a national partnership of three key transportation organizations: FHWA) the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the Transportation Research Board (TRB). The planned award has a 20% cost sharing requirement. More information about SHRP2 and eligible products can be found on the FHWA website at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/GoSHRP2. Products can be identified by focus area or general topic. The website also contains links to research completed for each product. Any updates will be made available through Grants.gov. </Description>

        <Description>Work Summary: The youth team will conduct habitat management activities associated with oak savanna restoration actions. Savanna restoration work will include brush cutting, tree thinning (including tree girdling and/or tree felling), and site preparation. Site preparation work will include herbicide applications and the use of tools and operating equipment such as chainsaws and brush cutters to remove undesirable plants. Work will be adaptive with other tasks assigned as necessary to obtained work goals. This position requires application of herbicides for vegetation control, strenuous repetitive manual labor, working primarily outdoors under a variety of weather conditions, exposure to poisonous plants, and exposure to biting and stinging insects including ticks which may harbor Lyme disease. Work sites will contain slash, stumps, stobs, and overhead hazards which must be carefully navigated.No government housing is available; however, many reasonably priced houses and rental properties exist in the surrounding communities. A work vehicle, pick-up truck, will be necessary for team and equipment transport to and from various work locations. Necessary safety equipment such as gloves, safety glasses, chaps, and helmets will be provided. Background:Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is located at the southern tip of Lake Michigan approximately 50-60 miles southeast of Chicago, Illinois. Small towns and resort communities on the beaches of Lake Michigan and farms interspersed with large tracts of woodland and wetlands surround the Lakeshore. An abundance of cultural and recreational activities are available year-round. The area has weather typical of the Midwest, with temperatures normally ranging from 0 degrees in the winter to 90 degrees in the summer. Possible Projects and Work Activities for 2015:&amp;#149; Manage plants present in oak savanna using mechanical and chemical methods &amp;#149; Felling and Bucking of brush and trees&amp;#149; Collecting, cleaning, and sowing of native seeds &amp;#149; Use GIS and GPS technology to map and identify work areasDesired Skills and Attributes:&amp;#149; Health Insurance&amp;#149; Knowledge of plant identification&amp;#149; Knowledge of chainsaw use and safety&amp;#149; Knowledge of brush cutter use and safety&amp;#149; Pesticide application training&amp;#149; Knowledge of and ability to control exotic plants using manual, mechanical, and chemical techniques&amp;#149; Ability to coordinate and work with others Educational background desired:&amp;#149; Botany/Forest Ecology &amp;#150; some coursework or experienceMaterials Requested for Statement of Information/Qualifications:Interested organizations must submit a Statement of Information, including an estimated budget and limit the response to a three-page maximum. Be sure to include a summary of how you would implement and manage this project in conjunction with NPS staff.

        <Description>Beginning farmer education for adult and young audiences in the United States can be generally traced back to the advent of the 1862 and the 1890 Morrill Land Grant Acts. But for the first time, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub .L. No. 110-234, Section 7410), appropriated $75 million for FY 2009 to FY 2012 to develop and offer education, training, outreach and mentoring programs to enhance the sustainability of the next generation of farmers. The Agriculture Act of 2014 provided an additional $20 million per year for 2014 through 2018. The reasons for the renewed interest in beginning farmer and rancher programs are: the rising average age of U.S. farmers, the 8% projected decrease in the number of farmers and ranchers between 2008 and 2018, and the growing recognition that new programs are needed to address the needs of the next generation of beginning farmers and ranchers. </Description>

        <Description>NIJ is seeking proposals for secondary data analysis of the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) data. Noting a critical need for a national surveillance system that would produce frequent, consistent, and reliable data on the magnitude and nature of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and stalking using consistent definitions and survey methods to evaluate trends over time, the CDC&amp;#146;s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCICP), in collaboration with NIJ and the Department of Defense (DOD), developed NISVS. The collaborative effort among federal agencies was motivated by the need to improve our understanding of IPV, SV, and stalking in the civilian, military, and American Indian (AI) and Alaska Native (AN) populations.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this modification is to notify potential Applicants of changes to information on pages 24, 29, 41 and 80 of the FOA. The Systems Performance Advancement II (SPA II): Component Metric Validation Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) refines the approach that was used for the FY13 Systems Performance Advancement FOA, DE-FOA-0000848 (referred to as SPA I for the purposes of this FOA); which developed and tested components to validate performance prior to integration with systems. This funding opportunity focuses on achieving technical performance gains through advanced controls, Power-Take Off (PTO) components, and innovative structures. SPA II is a progression from SPA I, with additional emphasis on the validation of component metrics, as well as crosscutting component applications for marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) systems. These initiatives are part of a multi-year strategy to optimize MHK components in preparation for commercial-ready system integration. SPA I awardee selection is not a prerequisite for the application and selection criteria of the SPA II FOA. SPA II will support component development projects in three topic areas that have the greatest potential to increase annual energy production (AEP) while reducing levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Whereas the SPA I FOA targeted system performance metrics, SPA II defines key component metrics that must be validated under each topic area. Topic Area 1 Advanced Controls Topic Area 2 Crosscutting Power Take-Off (PTO) Components Topic Area 3 Innovative Structures The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE Exchange website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE Exchange website. A User Guide for the EERE Exchange website can be found on the website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx.

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), Agricultural Water Conservation and Efficiency Grants, for a Grant Agreement(s) pursuant to the authority of Water Supply, Reliability, and Environmental Improvement Act, Title I &amp;#150; California Water Security and Environmental Enhancement, Public Law 108-361, Section 103 (C)(I), and (D)(3)(A)(B), and P.L. 111-11(42 USC 10364), Title IX of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Subtitle F, Secure Water, Section 9504(a) Water Management Improvement. The objective of this Agricultural Water Conservation Efficiency (AWCE) FOA is to invite Indian Tribes, irrigation districts, water districts and other organizations with water or power delivery authority located in the state of California to leverage their money and resources by cost sharing with Reclamation on projects that save water, improve water management, create new supplies for agricultural irrigation, improve energy efficiency, and benefit endangered species. Water conservation and water use efficiency are critical elements of any plan to address these resource issues. Projects that achieve this by increasing the capability or success rate of on-farm water conservation or water use efficiency projects that can be undertaken by farmers and ranchers will be a high priority for this program, as reflected through the increased weighting of this category in 2015. BOR and NRCS are encouraging water supplier/client farmer partnerships as an effective way to identify district/watershed/regional needs and opportunities. In coordination with NRCS, Reclamation will select applicants for funding under this FOA. Successful applicants will enter into a financial assistance agreement with Reclamation. NRCS will provide accelerated technical and financial assistance to farmers and ranchers in the project service area, through the USDA EQIP program, 1) for those successful FOA projects that include activities or elements that facilitate on-farm improvement, 2) where a number of farmers are likely to participate and 3) where EQIP applicants and projects meet EQIP program eligibility requirements. Successful applicants will enter into a financial assistance agreement with Reclamation. Period of Performance is a two year period from the date of issuance. R15AS00030 was posted on the GRANTS.GOV web site, at www.grants.gov, on or about January 9, 2014, and an update was issued February 9, 2015. The date for receipt of proposals is on March 24, 2015, no later than 12p.m. PDT. The FOA must be downloaded from Grants.gov. No paper copy of this announcement will be distributed.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this FOA is to fund intermediary organizations that will provide CBA to at least 3 youth-serving organizations to replicate evidence-based TPP programs in a defined service area with demonstrated need. CBA is designed to enhance the ability of organizations to implement, evaluate, and sustain evidence-based TPP programs. CBA can focus on building an organization&amp;#146;s capacity to develop and manage a TPP program (i.e., organizational CBA) as well as building an organization&amp;#146;s capacity to implement an evidence-based TPP program (i.e., programmatic CBA). CBA can encompass diverse strategies and approaches, including but not limited to, training, technical assistance, coaching, mentoring, and peer-to-peer support.Over the five-year project period, grantees are expected to (1) identify organizations in the defined service area in need of CBA (2) assess the CBA needs of each organization (3) provide CBA on diverse topics and (4) use diverse approaches that are designed to best meet the needs of each organization. OAH anticipates that successful applicants will provide funding to organizations that receive CBA to support their efforts to replicate evidence-based TPP programs. The applicant must determine the length of time that each organization will be actively engaged in receiving CBA and the amount of funding each will receive. Applicants may elect to work with the same organizations over the course of the 5-year project period or may elect to work with organizations for a shorter period of time and initiate agreements with new organizations throughout the course of the project period. Applicants may identify the organizations to receive CBA in the application and include a signed MOU clearly outlining the roles, responsibilities, and expectations for the applicant and the CBA partner or applicants may describe the process they will use to identify organizations to receive CBA once the grant is awarded. If an applicant anticipates providing CBA to different organizations over the course of the five-year grant period, it must describe how and when new organizations will be selected to receive CBA and whether those organizations that had previously received CBA will continue to receive CBA.It is expected that the priorities, content, and approach for CBA may differ across organizations. For each organization that will receive CBA, the grantee will be expected to submit a detailed CBA plan to OAH outlining the topics, format, and target audience for CBA; how CBA will be provided; the length of time CBA will be provided for; the expected outcomes of the CBA; the amount of funding provided to the organization to support its efforts to replicate evidence-based TPP programs; and how the CBA plan aligns with the needs of the organization. Focus areas for CBA can include:&amp;#149; Organizational CBA: Building an organization&amp;#146;s capacity to develop and manage a TPP program by providing CBA in the following areas (but not limited to) -- program staffing, identifying and collaborating with community stakeholders, developing a community needs assessment, financial and budget planning for managing a TPP Program, planning for sustainability, etc.&amp;#149; Programmatic CBA: Building an organization&amp;#146;s capacity to implement an evidence-based TPP program by providing CBA in the following areas (but not limited to) -- selecting the appropriate evidence-based TPP program for implementation; implementing evidence-based TPP programs with fidelity and quality; selecting strategies for recruiting, retaining, and engaging youth; collecting and using performance measure data for continuous quality improvement; etc.</Description>

        <Description>The primary purpose of the TPP Early Innovation Program is to establish two independent intermediaries that will select, fund, and support a portfolio of innovators across the country to design, test, and refine interventions to advance adolescent health and prevent teen pregnancy. For the purposes of this FOA, OAH defines innovation broadly as new or promising approaches, interventions, curricula, or strategies informed by scientific theory or empirical evidence that may lead to or have the potential to result in a substantial reduction in teen pregnancy rates, sexually transmitted infection (STIs) rates, and associated sexual risk behaviors. One intermediary will focus on supporting innovation of technology interventions and the other will focus on supporting innovation of program interventions. Interventions may be designed to improve knowledge and skills related to TPP, improve the delivery of programs (e.g., increase participant engagement), and/or expand the ability of programs to reach youth who have otherwise been difficult to reach. Examples of technology interventions may include, but are not limited to, mobile applications, video games or other gaming technology, use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, adaptation of a pre-existing technology for new use, etc. Examples of program interventions may include, but are not limited to, infusion of TPP content into settings where youth work, live, and play; systems-level approaches; use of non-traditional delivery approaches; etc. Hybrid approaches that combine both program and technology may be classified as either, and will depend on whether the intervention is primarily (i.e., 50% or more) technology driven. Each intermediary is expected to fund a broad range of interventions to advance adolescent health and prevent teen pregnancy. The successful applicant will determine their focus area (technology or program) and propose a five-year strategy to competitively select, fund, and support a portfolio of innovators across the country (estimate 5-15 per year). The successful applicant must be able to reach a national audience for the selection of innovators. Successful applicants will create an infrastructure to support and foster innovation; monitor and evaluate the outcomes of the TPP Early Innovation Program; and disseminate successes, lessons learned, and knowledge gained. Throughout the five-year grant period, some interventions developed under the intermediary&amp;#146;s portfolio may need further development and testing, others may be deemed impractical or not feasible, and some interventions may be ready for a rigorous impact evaluation. OAH would consider each of these outcomes a valuable contribution to the field. Supporting HHS Strategic Goals, Healthy People 2020, and the National Prevention StrategyThis FOA supports the HHS Strategic Goals to Put Children and Youth on the Path for Successful Futures, Eliminate Health Disparities, and Accelerate the Process of Scientific Discovery to Improve Health. HHS is committed to supporting both evidence-based programs and innovative approaches for children and youth in order to positively impact a range of important social and health outcomes, including, but not limited to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and teen pregnancy (http://www.hhs.gov/strategic-plan/hhs-vision.html). This FOA addresses the Healthy People 2020 (http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/default.aspx) overarching goals to (1) achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups and (2) promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages. The FOA addresses several Healthy People 2020 goals and objectives, including Family Planning Objectives 7 through 13; STD Objectives 1 and 6; HIV Objective 2; Adolescent Health Objectives 3 and 5; and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Topic Area Goal.This FOA also supports the National Prevention Strategy&amp;#146;s (http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/initiatives/prevention/strategy/#The Goal) overarching strategic direction to help people make healthy choices and eliminate health disparities.

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to increase the number of evidence-based TPP interventions available by rigorously evaluating new or innovative approaches for preventing teen pregnancy and related risk behaviors. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed intervention is needed, likely to reduce rates of teen pregnancy and/or adolescent sexual risk behavior, relevant to the target population, and able to be rigorously evaluated. This is not a service delivery grant. Service may be a byproduct of the funding, but is not the purpose for this FOA. OAH is especially interested in expanding the evidence base for the field of TPP by funding rigorous evaluations of new or innovative interventions designed to address gaps in the existing evidence and reduce adolescent sexual and reproductive health disparities. This includes, but is not limited to interventions designed for older adolescents (18-19), males, rural youth, and other youth populations at disproportionate risk of teen pregnancy (see data on page 9). OAH is also interested in the use of non-traditional delivery methods (i.e., non-curriculum based approaches).

        <Description>This notice announces the availability of funds from the Secretary&amp;#146;s Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Fund to maintain, enhance, and re-launch a National Resource Center with the specific focus on HIV/AIDS prevention among adolescents. This announcement seeks proposals from public and nonprofit private entities. OAH seeks to competitively award up to $350,000 per year through a three-year cooperative agreement to support the maintenance, enhancement, re-launch, and evaluation of a comprehensive National Resource Center website for HIV/AIDS prevention among adolescents (resource center). A cooperative agreement is an award instrument of financial assistance where &amp;quot;substantial involvement&amp;quot; is anticipated between the HHS awarding agency and the recipient during performance of the contemplated project or activity. &amp;quot;Substantial involvement&amp;quot; means that the recipient can expect Federal programmatic collaboration or participation in managing the award. The Office Adolescent Health will be substantially involved in the following programmatic aspects of the cooperative agreement:a. OAH will provide input into setting program priorities for the development and selection of materials to be distributed via the resource center website. b. OAH will collaborate with the awardee providing programmatic approvals prior to the awardee moving forward with development and implementation of program strategies.c. OAH will review and approve the process proposed by the awardee to ensure that all information distributed via the resource center website is medically accurate.d. OAH will work with the recipient to assess and address challenges and gaps identified within the Resource Center to more effectively make continuous quality improvement to the program. e. OAH will provide coordination with other appropriate agency-funded entities interested in submitting materials for distribution via the resource center website.The resource center builds on the existing foundation of professional training and capacity building assistance in HIV/AIDS for those professionals who serve and work with adolescents. This competitive cooperative agreement will allow for maintenance and enhancement of a resource center website to promote practical strategies for community-based service providers, which would include interactive multimedia and other additional resources to move youth-serving professionals toward implementation of interventions targeted to adolescents, especially those in greatest need. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Government believes that building mutual understanding is a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy abroad. U.S. embassies and consulates abroad seek to tell America&amp;#146;s story through explaining U.S. policies, values, culture, and history. To that end, the U.S. Mission to China (Embassy Beijing and Consulates General Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Wuhan) seeks to support activities that, whether through existing partnerships between eligible U.S. institutions and their Chinese counterparts or through new ties, help explain American culture to the people of China. Such programming will enhance and broaden the cultural and academic outreach of the U.S. Mission in China. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing seeks to ensure that programming is representative of the depth and breadth of U.S. culture, values, polices, and history. The U.S.-China relationship is one of the United States&amp;#146; most important bilateral relationships. A great deal of work remains to be done in fostering mutual understanding between the peoples of the two nations. Cultural exchanges provide excellent opportunities to help people better understand others&amp;#146; history, values, and traditions. The aim of this project is to help increase overall understanding of U.S. society and culture by the people of China. </Description>

        <Description>Approximately 2.2 million people were incarcerated in federal, state, and local prisons and jails in 2013, a rate of 1 out of every 110 adults.1 For the first time since 2009, the state prison population grew between 2012 and 2013; many prison populations remain near all-time high levels and face crowding or resource challenges. And state spending on corrections has remained high. Over the last 25 years, state corrections expenditures have increased exponentially&amp;#151;from $12 billion in 1988 to more than $55 billion in 2013, a significant increase even accounting for inflation.2 Justice reinvestment emerged as a way to address these issues through a targeted, data-driven policymaking process. BJA, in a public/private partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts, launched the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI) in 2010 as a multistaged process in which a jurisdiction increases the cost-effectiveness of its criminal justice system and reinvests savings into high-performing public safety strategies.</Description>

        <Description>The Second Chance Act (Pub. L. 110-199) seeks a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and return to their communities. There are currently over 2.2 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of those incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The coordination of reentry services for members of Native American tribes is even more complex given that they can return from federal, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state, local, and tribal facilities. The Second Chance Act Programs are designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by reentry and recidivism reduction. Developing a reentry approach for reducing recidivism is extremely challenging for even the most sophisticated correctional agency, requiring access to data and service delivery and coordination from multiple systems, including housing, health, employment, education, etc. This solicitation will provide funding for 12-month strategic planning grants during which time state-level participants will convene and work to 1) identify the drivers of recidivism in the state, 2) identify a target population and recidivism reduction goals for the state, 3) review the alignment of existing corrections programs and practices with evidenced-based practices, and 4) develop a plan to meet recidivism reduction goals using evidenced-based practices. Upon the completion of the Statewide Recidivism Reduction Strategic Plan, states will be invited by BJA to submit applications for implementation grants of up to $1 million with the potential for two supplemental awards of $1 million each. The total possible available in implementation funding per state is $3 million. Future funding decisions for implementation grants will be competitive and will consider the quality and comprehensiveness of the Statewide Recidivism Reduction Strategic Plan. Supplemental funding will be dependent on grantee progress and performance toward goals as well as the availability of funds.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to ensure that state and local maternal and child health (MCH) programs have access to timely and standardized data and are provided with the necessary technical support to utilize such information. This cooperative agreement will support a Data Resource Center (DRC) that provides user-friendly access to national and state level data on children, mothers, and families. The DRC will highlight and describe established data sets currently available to the public in order to ensure that these resources are readily available to be used to provide an evidence base for state and local maternal and child health programming. The overarching vision for the DRC is to dramatically broaden the valid and standardized use of national and state level survey data to assist national, state and family leaders to understand the gaps that need to be addressed in children&amp;apos;s health and to take action to advance positive health outcomes for children, youth, families and communities. </Description>

        <Description>The overall goal of this initiative is to identify, optimize, and evaluate measures of neurophysiological processes that are disrupted within or across mental disorders and which can be assessed in animals and humans. The goal is to support further development of these measures as assays for evaluating potential new drug and device therapies and their targets. Data will also reveal assay measures where the performance between preclinical species and humans is dissimilar, thus establishing a firm basis for limiting speculative extrapolations of preclinical findings. Ultimately, the goal of this FOA is to improve the efficiency of the therapeutic development process by addressing inconsistencies between the preclinical screening pipeline and clinical evaluation of new treatment candidates and thereby hasten the development of more effective treatments for mental disorders. The objectives of the FOA will be accomplished by supporting partnerships among basic and translational neuroscientists who are committed to advancing the discovery of physiological measures as tools for target validation and therapeutic development. Groups will be tasked with building a target-engagement-linked-to-functional-brain-effect suite of assays with potential to translate from animals to humans and thus serve as a basis for selecting preclinical treatment candidates for further development and clinical testing. Towards this goal, the FOA will support development, optimization and evaluation of brain based assays in both preclinical species and in healthy humans and the evaluation of assay performance in response to carefully selected chemical, physiological, or behavioral manipulations.</Description>

        <Description>There is a need to develop technologies that support research using zebrafish models of biomedical value. The zebrafish has become increasingly important as a biological resource, because of its small size, short generation time, easy manipulation of embryos and optical transparency. This animal model is used to study aspects of gene structure and function that can be directly related to human genetics and disease. Zebrafish are also important for studies in diverse disciplines, including pharmacology, toxicology, neurobiology, behavior and developmental biology. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages applications from small business concerns (SBCs) for Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) projects that propose innovative research and development of technology, including reagents and high throughput equipment, to support different aspects of the creation, detection, identification and characterization of zebrafish models of human disease and preservation of genetic stocks.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to transition this highly-functional public health infrastructure for cancer prevention and control into new roles and functions to anticipate the nation&amp;#146;s needs over the next decade. The goals are to (1) seek efficiencies across the management and operations of cancer prevention and control programs, (2) focus on high-burden cancers with evidence-based, scalable interventions that already exist and can be broadly implemented, (3) develop organized screening programs that are more effective and efficient than current opportunistic approaches, and (4) maintain high-quality cancer registries and expand their application in prevention and screening. Toward this end, this Announcement will fund five components and continue to support and promote the enhancement of NCCCP, NBCCEDP and NPCR.</Description>

Topical Collaborations are fixed-term, multi-institution collaborations established to investigate a specific topic in nuclear physics of special interest to the community, which is aligned with programmatic NP goals and has not been addressed by a previous Topical Collaboration. Topical Collaborations also provide a mechanism for maintaining a robust community, by encouraging the creation of tenured university appointments and permanent laboratory positions in nuclear theory. A companion Program Announcement to DOE Laboratories (LAB15-1269) will be posted on the SC Grants and Contracts website at http://science.energy.gov/grants.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey&amp;#191;s National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on unsaturated zone fluxes of water and nitrogen (N) across large regions of agricultural land to better understand the relation between N input at the land surface and the distribution and concentration of nitrate in groundwater. The overarching objective of this opportunity is the development and implementation of approaches that utilize a simple vertical flux model (VFM) (Liao et al, 2012) for estimating travel time, water flux and nitrate flux across large regions of agricultural land. Specific research objectives include (1) develop VFMs within type settings to obtain estimates of fN, &amp;#964;u, and N flux; (2) compare VFMs and metamodels for ability to extrapolate these outputs throughout PAs and IWS study areas; and (3) evaluate additional unsaturated zone N input functions, such as mineralization and fixation. </Description>

        <Description>The USGS Alaska Science Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to provide research to evaluate climate-driven changes in habitat and the resulting impacts to avian abundance and distribution across the boreal-arctic transition zone of western Alaska. Habitats selected by birds for breeding are strongly influenced by both the structure and composition of vegetation. The transition zone between the boreal and arctic biomes is expected to be one of the most dynamically altered zones in response to climate change. Climatic warming is predicted to cause an increase in wildland fires at the same time that the range limits of tree species are shifting in response to changes in temperature and effective moisture. This combination of more frequent fires and altered growing season conditions may cause unprecedented shifts in forest biogeography throughout the boreal region over the next century. Increases in the distribution, densities, and vertical structure of shrubs within this transition zone are expected to be even more rapid than changes in the extent and structure of forests. Shrub growth and expansion is accelerating due to changes in temperature and precipitation, increases in frequency and intensity of tundra fires, melting of permafrost, changes in snow conditions, and associated feedbacks.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to reduce the overall burden of neglected parasitic infections (NPIs) in the United States through evidence-based prevention and control activities including the development of new strategies, educational tools and materials, and guidelines. NPIs are a group of five parasitic diseases that have been targeted by the CDC as priorities for public health action based on the number of people infected, severity of the illnesses, and the ability to prevent and treat them. They are: Chagas disease, neurocysticercosis, toxocariasis, toxoplasmosis, and trichomoniasis. These educational tools and materials and guidelines developed will be used to improve NPI related preventive health knowledge and practices, improve recognition of signs and symptoms of NPIs, increase availability of best approaches and recommendations, improve availability of education training tools and materials, enhance capacity for public education on NPIs, and enhance capacity in the identification of NPIs. Successful strategies should have the potential to yield high impact public health outcomes, reach a high proportion of those at risk, and have the highest potential for significant impact on population health.</Description>

        <Description>The DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is an organization focused on achieving aggressive and well-defined mid-to-long term clean energy goals for the United States of America. In that context, EERE has established multi-year plans and roadmaps. EERE focuses the majority of its resources on a limited number of &amp;quot;highest probability of success&amp;quot; pathways/approaches to ensure that the program initiatives are supported at a critical mass (both in terms of dollars and time) for maximum impact. This roadmap-based approach is one of EERE&amp;apos;s greatest strengths, but it can create challenges in recognizing and exploring unanticipated, game changing pathways/approaches which may ultimately be superior to the pathways/approaches on our existing roadmaps. To enhance the responsiveness of the roadmap approach, EERE is continuing to issue &amp;quot;Incubator&amp;quot; Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) within its existing Offices and programs to support innovative technologies and solutions that could help meet existing goals but are not represented in a significant way in the Offices&amp;apos; existing Multi-Year Program Plans (MYPPs) or current portfolios. The Incubator programs will allow EERE to assess new technologies for their potential to be ?on ramped? to future MYPPs. Successful incubator projects will reduce the risk associated with potentially breakthrough approaches and technologies so that they could be viable candidates for inclusion in future program roadmaps. DOEs Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) develops and deploys efficient and environmentally friendly highway transportation technologies that will enable America to use less petroleum. These technologies will provide Americans with greater freedom of mobility and energy security, while lowering costs and reducing impacts on the environment. For example, the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge requires dramatic improvements in plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) performance and cost that are specified as technical targets and stretch goals for key technical areas of plug-in electric vehicles. These are detailed in the EV Everywhere Blueprint document, posted on the VTO website. Other specific technology and technical goals can be found in supporting roadmaps and plans such as the Offices Multiyear Program Plan, U.S. DRIVE Partnership Plan; 21st Century Truck Roadmap and Technical White Papers; and other plans and roadmaps referenced on the website. This Vehicle Technologies Incubator FOA is open to proposals that aim to bring to market a novel, non-incremental technology that facilitates one or more of the overall VTO goals but are not represented in a significant way in the Offices existing Multi-Year Program Plans (MYPPs) or current portfolios. The full spectrum of technologies and non-hardware solutions relevant to efficient and environmentally friendly transportation technologies that will enable America to use less petroleum will be considered for funding. The description above is meant to demonstrate the breadth of possibilities. The following types of applications will be deemed nonresponsive and will not be reviewed or considered: ? Commercial hardware technologies, products, and solutions; ? Incremental improvements to existing technologies, products, or solutions; ? Solutions, approaches, or technologies similar to those already being investigated through current or recent DOE projects; and ? Technologies that are not based on sound scientific principles (e.g., violates the law of thermodynamics). The full FOA is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for the EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website. </Description>

        <Description>A. Purpose and Priorities The National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program will award grants that increase the understanding and adoption of established food safety standards, guidance, and protocols. Grants awarded through this program will be carried out in a manner that facilitates the integration of food safety standards and guidance with a variety of agricultural production systems, including conventional, sustainable, organic, and conservation and environmental practices carried out by the eligible entities. The assistance provided by these programs, to the extent practicable, shall be coordinated with and delivered in cooperation with similar services or assistance by other federal agencies or programs serving those eligible entities. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture&amp;#146;s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) have joined in a collaborative partnership to administer and manage the National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program. This program is designed to develop a comprehensive food safety training, education and technical assistance program for those affected by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Specifically, this program will address the needs of owners and operators of small and medium-sized farms, beginning farmers, socially disadvantaged farmers, small processors, and small fresh fruit and vegetable merchant wholesalers. The joint program will award competitive grant funds that enable awardees to establish a National Coordination Center (NCC) for Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance and Regional Centers (RC) for Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance across the country for food safety training, education, and technical assistance. Project Teams for the RCs will reach out into local communities to work with FSMA audiences, while coordinating on a national level through the NCC.FDA is issuing this RFA to request applications for the establishment of a National Coordination Center (NCC) for Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program. The National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program will issue separate RFAs to request applications for the establishment of the Regional Centers (RC) for Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program once funding is available. Applicants will be selected through a peer-reviewed competitive process. The NCC will provide overall leadership for support and coordination of the RCs, while ensuring that food safety training, education, outreach, and technical assistance across the entire program are consistent with FSMA requirements. Each RC will lead, manage, and coordinate the regional development and implementation of food safety training, education, outreach and technical assistance programs for the intended audiences. The National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program will work with RCs and the NCC to help establish and maintain an effective and sustainable program that will meet the needs of intended audiences affected by new FSMA requirements. B. Program Area DescriptionThe FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed into law on January 4, 2011. The law enabled the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and its Federal food safety partners, to better protect public health, while strengthening the food safety system, by focusing increasingly on preventive food safety measures. FSMA requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish preventive standards for produce safety and for the manufacturing/processing, packing and holding of food. Successful implementation of new standards will require food safety training, education and technical assistance for small and mid-sized entities.Owners and operators of small and medium-sized farms, beginning farmers, socially disadvantaged farmers, small processors, and small fresh fruit and vegetable merchant wholesalers may have limited access to adequate and affordable food safety training and education. Further, they may have limited access to the technical assistance that will enable them to comply with new food safety requirements that will be finalized under FSMA. FSMA requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services enter into a Memorandum of Understanding or cooperative agreement with the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a competitive grant program within the National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program will award competitive grants to provide food safety training, education, and technical assistance to owners and operators of small and medium-sized farms, beginning farmers, socially-disadvantaged farmers, small processors, or small fresh fruit and vegetable merchant wholesalers. This collaborative program is to support awards that provide food safety training, education, and technical assistance to owners and operators of small and medium-sized farms, small food processors, and small fruit and vegetable vendors who will be affected by requirements to be finalized under FSMA. The program will focus on helping those key target audiences understand new Federal food safety regulations to be enacted under FSMA, thus enabling them to comply with these requirements. Training, education, and technical assistance programs are needed to provide these key target audiences with fundamental food safety knowledge, starting in advance of the finalization of the new produce safety and preventive controls requirements under FSMA and continuing after the final rules are promulgated. Training, education, and technical assistance activities conducted in advance of final rules are intended to assist farms, especially small farms, in establishing appropriate food safety measures consistent with Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and other existing guidance so they will be better positioned to comply with the new requirements to be finalized under FSMA. Similarly, training, education and technical assistance can help small food processors and fruit and vegetable vendors establish appropriate food safety measures consistent with existing guidance and industry best practices. When the rules are finalized, training and education materials should be modified, as needed, to be consistent with the requirements in the rules. The vision for the National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program is regional centers coordinated by a national center to ensure that regional training, education and technical assistance programs are consistent yet tailored to the differing needs of various areas of the country. C. Program Area Priorities For this request for applications, the National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program will accept proposals that describe a National Coordination Center for Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance serving a leading role in coordinating the development of FSMA-related training and education programs and resources for small and medium-sized farms, beginning farmers, socially disadvantaged farmers, small processors, or small fresh fruit and vegetable merchant wholesalers. A plan for conducting education and training to a cadre of regional FSMA trainers must be developed, along with an implementation plan for extending both training and technical assistance to the targeted audiences of farmers, processors and vendors in the respective regions. National Coordination Center (NCC) for Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance Program Area Priority Code &amp;#150; A4183Proposed Budget Requests &amp;#150; Projects must not exceed $600,000 in total costs, including indirect costs, for project periods of up to 3 years. The program anticipates making 1 new award. The grant awardee will responsible for the performance metrics below; therefore applications for the NCC must present a strategic plan (including methods and milestones) for how to address the following: Provide overall leadership for support and coordination of the future successfully-funded Regional Centers (RC) for Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance. Frequent communication with regional project teams should include site visits, face-to-face meetings with regional teams, teleconferences, webinars, and/or other mechanisms for ensuring that teams are working collaboratively to achieve overall goals of the competitive program;Work collaboratively with successfully-funded RCs to ensure that training curricula and resources cover fundamental food safety practices relevant to the target audiences across all funded regional centers, and that those competencies are consistent with FSMA produce safety standards and preventive control requirements for manufacturing/processing/packing/holding food, once finalized; Work collaboratively with the RCs to facilitate the integration of FSMA-related food safety standards and guidance (where appropriate) with a variety of agricultural production systems, encompassing conventional, sustainable, organic, and conservation and environmental practices; Work collaboratively with successfully-funded RCs to ensure that all Centers are actively evaluating the impacts of their education, training, and technical assistance programs. Develop a mechanism for collating regional impacts into an overall annual national impact report. Prepare and submit to FDA an annual impact report on National Coordination Center for Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical Assistance; Serve as an information and communication liaison between FDA and the RCs. While anticipating the full funding of the RCs, the NCC will develop fact sheets and informational resources for communicating new FSMA guidelines to the RCs, identify training and educational resources consistent with the new FSMA guidelines, develop measures to evaluate the RCs&amp;apos; impacts from education, training, and technical assistance programs, and identify and recruit key stakeholders (food safety professionals, food safety organizations, and prime contacts in the food industry) who can serve as informational resources to the NCC and to the future-funded Regional Centers. </Description>

        <Description>NIJ is seeking proposals for research on sentinel events in the criminal justice system. When bad things happen in a complex system, the cause is rarely a single act, event, or slip-up. More often, bad outcomes like wrongful convictions, mistaken prison releases, and even revictimization are &amp;quot;sentinel events&amp;quot;&amp;#151;defined as significant negative outcomes that signal underlying weaknesses in the system or process. Sentinel events are likely the result of compound errors and, if properly analyzed and addressed, may provide important keys to strengthening the system and preventing future adverse events or outcomes. Even &amp;#147;near misses,&amp;#148; where tragic outcomes are eventually averted, can signal serious underlying weaknesses in the overall system. NIJ is seeking proposals for research that can add to our understanding of how the concept of sentinel events can be used to improve the functioning of justice systems. Funding under this solicitation will support multiple awards for either basic research or for applied studies (including evaluations).</Description>

        <Description>OASH/ National Vaccine Program Office (NVPO) provides strategic direction for the coordination of the vaccine and immunization enterprise through the National Vaccine Plan (NVP) implementation. NVPO specifically provides guidance and coordination for all vaccine safety systems, activities and research studies in the U.S. through the Immunization Safety Task Force (ISTF). While engaging vaccine safety stakeholders through the ISTF, NVPO is able to identify gaps in vaccine safety monitoring and research. NVPO has launched this pilot cooperative agreement program to partner with an organization to conduct research that will strengthen the current U.S. vaccine safety enterprise. The program&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s objective is to conduct research in vaccine safety related areas, specifically, but not limited to, determining the safety profile of new vaccines during the early development stage, developing or modifying existing vaccines to improve their safety, conducting applied research that will have a direct impact on the current vaccine safety monitoring system, conducting research that will achieve consensus definitions of vaccine safety outcomes that could be utilized to collect consensus data in clinical research conducted globally. NVPO is particularly interested in projects related to researching, establishing or testing the vaccine safety profile of vaccines that are currently recommended for or are expected to be routinely administered to pregnant women and/or newborns. Topics of research may cover establishing the safety of a vaccine in either the pregnant women, her newborn or both, at any stage of the vaccine development, testing and/or pre-clinical or clinical research and monitoring of vaccine safety. This pilot program encourages collaborative efforts with experts across fields to maximize the results and impact of the research project. NVPO scientific staff will have substantial programmatic involvement that is above and beyond the normal stewardship role in awards, as described below: &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#162; Provide guidance and support in the design and development of the research project &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#162; Serve as a resource to provide scientific/programmatic support during the accomplishment of the research by participating in the design of the activities, providing access to vaccine safety stakeholders and contributing with subject matter expertise &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#162; Oversee the adequacy of adverse event following immunization research, monitoring and result analysis and reporting, and have regular communications with the principal investigator (PI) and study team &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#162; Participate in the preparation of publications and public presentations of the data obtained under this Cooperative Agreement AUTHORITY: section 1702(a) of the Public Health Service Act, as amended [42 U.S.C. 300u-1(a)]</Description>

        <Description>&amp;#149; The U.S. Consulate General Chennai proposes to fund a Cybersecurity Research and Innovation Contest for young programmers and students of Information Technology (Age limit: 20-35 years only). The preliminary round of the contest will be conducted in six cities across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, culminating in a grand finale in Chennai. While building general awareness about opportunities and challenges in the field of cybersecurity, this program will build interest in research and innovation in this field among young talents in India. Though thousands of students graduate with degrees in Information Technology across South India, only a small minority specialize in cybersecurity. The proposed program will help popularize research and training in Indian institutions and complement U.S.-India bilateral cooperation on cybersecurity. &amp;#149; The awardee, in close coordination with the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General Chennai, will plan and implement the preliminary rounds of the Cybersecurity Research and Innovation Contests in Bengaluru, Mysore (Karnataka), Chennai, Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu), and Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi (Kerala). The final round of the contest and the prize distribution ceremony will take place in Chennai. &amp;#149; In consultation with the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General Chennai, the selected awardee will draft the overall program plan, contest criteria, judging parameters / scoring rubrics, etc. The awardee will also plan the contest details, announce the contest, spearhead a publicity campaign (in print, social media, broadcast, etc.) and invite registrations for the contest. They will work closely with educational institutions, IT businesses and business organizations to generate publicity for the contest. The awardee will have to identify suitable local partner organizations in each of the six centers and coordinate with them to plan and implement the preliminary rounds in those cities. Once the registration process is complete, the awardee will conduct introductory workshops focusing on cybersecurity research and innovation for registered participants in each of the six cities. Selected participants will be given two months from the day of the introductory workshop in their city to research and complete their project ideas/presentation. The preliminaries will be conducted two months from the introductory workshop in each city. The awardee must also organize and coordinate with judging panels for the contests in each of the six cities as well as the final round in Chennai. Possible judges include cybersecurity experts, scientists, academics, senior IT professionals, and industry/business representatives. If needed, the awardee can propose sub-awardees to be approved by the U.S. Consulate General, Chennai; but it is the awardee&amp;#146;s responsibility to ensure that sub-awardees meet all U.S. and Indian requirements (e.g., an FCRA for an Indian sub-grantee).&amp;#149; Proposals must include a budget reflecting all the expenses associated with administering such contests - from the development of the overall agenda and calendar, securing the participation of experts, venues, publicity, airfare, transportation, hotel logistics, printing costs, prizes and any other miscellaneous expenses. The proposal should include all relevant administrative and logistical costs for organizing this contest. A panel comprised of Consulate officers will review each complete proposal received before the application deadline. Please note that selected grantee will have to complete additional forms and registration documents within thirty days of selection notification in order to receive funding.

        <Description>The Great Ape Conservation Fund is soliciting project proposals for the conservation of apes [gorillas (Gorilla gorilla); chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes); bonobos (Pan paniscus); orangutans (Pongo spp.); and gibbons (family Hylobatidae)] throughout their ranges. The U.S. Government enacted the Great Ape Conservation Act of 2000 in response to the decline of ape populations in Africa and Asia. The Act provides for the conservation and protection of apes by supporting conservation programs of countries within the range of apes, and the projects of persons with demonstrated expertise in the conservation of apes. The Great Ape Conservation Fund supports projects that promote conservation through: Applied research on ape populations and their habitats, including surveys and monitoring; Development and execution of ape conservation management plans; Compliance with applicable treaties and laws that prohibit or regulate the taking or trade of ape or regulate the use and management of ape habitat; Conservation education and community outreach; Enhanced protection of at-risk ape populations; Efforts to decrease human-ape conflicts; Habitat conservation and management; Protected area/reserve management in important ape range; Strengthening local capacity to implement conservation programs; Transfrontier ape conservation; and Wildlife inspection, law enforcement, and forensics skills. Proposed project work should occur within the ape range, or, if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show a clear relevance to ape conservation. Applied research projects should address specific management needs and actions, and threats from emerging issues such as disease and climate change that affect the species and their habitats. </Description>

        <Description>The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Fund is soliciting proposals for the conservation of rhinoceroses and or tigers throughout their ranges. The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act was passed in 1994 to provide financial resources for the conservation programs of nations whose activities directly or indirectly affect rhinoceros and tiger populations. The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Fund supports projects that promote conservation through: Enhanced protection of at-risk rhinoceros and tiger populations; Protected area/reserve management in important rhinoceros and tiger range; Veterinary care for wild populations; Habitat conservation and management; Reintroduction to former range; Restoration of habitat; Wildlife inspection, law enforcement, and forensics skills; Conservation education and community outreach; Efforts to decrease human-rhinoceros and human-tiger conflicts; Strengthening local capacity to implement conservation programs; Transfrontier rhinoceros and tiger conservation; Applied research on rhinoceros and tiger populations and their habitats, including surveys and monitoring; Development and execution of rhinoceros and tiger conservation management plans; and Compliance with applicable treaties and laws that prohibit or regulate the taking or trade of rhinoceros and tigers or regulate the use and management of their habitat. Proposed project work should occur within the rhinoceros or tiger range, or, if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show clear relevance to rhinoceros or tiger conservation. If the project includes research, the applicant must provide a convincing argument that the results will address management needs or threats from disease and climate change and will result in management actions. </Description>

        <Description>South Africa is home to the world&amp;#8217;s largest HIV epidemic with an estimated 6.1 million adults and children living with HIV in 2012 (UNAIDS). The country also ranks third among countries with the highest burden of TB in the world after India and China, two countries that have much larger populations (WHO 2012), with also increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB. To address the HIV epidemic, South Africa has scaled up HIV clinical services to over 3500 public health facilities providing antiretroviral treatment (ART) to over 2.5 million adults and children by the end of 2013 (NDOH), with an aim to reach 4.6 million individuals with ART by 2016. This scale-up has been achieved using a decentralized nurse-led model, while strengthening information systems, laboratory systems, public sector delivery of ARVs, and the implementation of all aspects of the DOH PHC re-engineering strategy. This has been supported by PEPFAR implementing partners who work closely with national, provincial, district and sub-district management structures to support decentralization, integration, health systems strengthening, quality improvement/assurance and sustainability. Since the signing of the Partnership Framework between the South African Government and the US government (2010), PEPFAR partners have shifted their support from direct service delivery to technical assistance, supporting district and subdistrict management structures as well as clinical service delivery sites in all 52 districts in the nine provinces of South Africa, to sustainably deliver quality clinical services. In 2013, PEPFAR, NDOH, and PEPFAR implementing partners further highlighted key priorities for the treatment program to address gaps in service delivery and reflect current national health service reform policies. These include pediatric and adolescent services, retention and adherence for all patients on ART, treatment of TB, including all forms of drug-resistant TB, PMTCT cascade, integration with family planning, prevention, and maternal child health and nutrition services. National priorities such as ideal clinics and strengthening information systems are also emphasized. In line with updated national priorities, this award seeks to improve the effectiveness and quality of HIV/AIDS programs, decrease the burden of HIV, AIDS and TB, and reduce child and maternal deaths, contributing to the care, support, treatment, and sustainability goals of the Partnership Framework Implementation Plan (PFIP) and National Strategic Plan on HIV/TB/STIs, 2012-2016 (NSP). It builds upon previous PEPFAR support to ensure continuing technical assistance to all levels of South African Department of Health, as outlined in the Five Year Transition Strategy, with an aim to improve, expand, manage, and sustain the decentralized delivery of comprehensive, integrated HIV/AIDS services throughout South Africa. It reflects updated SAG priorities and health systems strengthening in many areas including planning and management, laboratory and information systems, supply chain delivery, and human resource management.</Description>

        <Description>Complete information, including the full RFI, can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy invites input from the public regarding a potential effort to facilitate laboratory, or open-ocean testing of prototype marine and hydrokinetic MHK devices. Details regarding the planned testing of prototype MHK devices for system integration, structural performance, and power performance are specifically requested; as well as discussion of the anticipated facility, site, instrumentation, expertise, and logistical support needed to advance the technical readiness of the device. The information gathered with this RFI will be used to inform strategic planning by the DOE to advance the marine and hydrokinetic industry. DOE is specifically interested in collecting information regarding existing MHK systems and the anticipated resources necessary to test and validate these early-stage technologies in either a laboratory or open-water environment. This is a Request for Information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement; therefore, EERE is not accepting applications at this time. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the R40 MCH Autism Secondary Data Analysis Studies (SDAS) Program. The R40 MCH Autism SDAS Program supports secondary data analysis research focused on generating new evidence to address the needs of underserved populations for whom there is limited evidence of the effectiveness of interventions, or for whom disparities in and limited access to screening, diagnosis, and treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities exist, including investigations that address geographic barriers to care in underserved communities, including rural and Tribal communities. Consistent with HRSA&amp;#191;s mission as the primary Federal agency for improving access to health care services to underserved populations and improving health equity, applicants are encouraged to propose research studies that address the unique needs of underserved populations, by considering ethnic/racial, cultural, linguistic, socioeconomic, literacy and geographic (e.g., rural/urban, tribal) diversity of individuals for whom there is limited evidence of the effectiveness of interventions or for whom disparities in identification of ASD exist with limited understanding of the reasons for these disparities and evidence-based ways to close these gaps. Proposals that address the unique barriers to identification/screening, diagnosis, and receipt of early interventions for underserved populationsare encouraged. Given existing investments, studies in the areas of autism prevalence, factors associated with prevalence, or autism and the medical home will not be considered for funding under this R40 MCH Autism SDAS competition. Innovative secondary use of existing data from national datasets, administrative records and other publicly available datasets from a variety of sources (e.g., National Database for Autism Research (NDAR), Medicaid, Mental Health Research Network) is encouraged. Innovative methods such as meta-analysis are also encouraged. The R40 MCH Autism SDAS Program is a unique Federal investment in that it supports the utilization of publicly available datasets to generate new knowledge to address disparities in intervention effectiveness and in access to screening, diagnosis, and treatment for ASD. The Program will address the disparate needs of underserved populations with expected broad impact.</Description>

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat. 917 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 669-669b, 669-669k, popularly known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 1938. The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Additional information about the Wildlife Restoration Grant Program is on the web at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/WR/WR.htm. I. Funding Opportunity Description: The Wildlife Restoration program provides Federal grant funding to the 50 States, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat; wildlife management research; wildlife population surveys and inventories; land acquisition; hunter education and safety programs; coordination; development of facilities; provide facilities and services for conducting a hunter education and safety programs; and provisions for public use of wildlife resources. Section 4(c) Hunter Education and Safety Program (Section 4(c)) include training in the safe handling and use of firearms and archery equipment; hunter responsibilities and ethics; survival; construction, operation, and maintenance of public shooting ranges; and basic wildlife management and identification. Hunter Education and Safety Programs include the development and implementation of a programmed course of instruction leading toward the achievement of the hunter safety training goals and objectives. In general, the course is to train students to be safe and responsible hunters and assist the agency in accomplishing its mission and goals. II. Award Information: The final WR apportionments are on the web at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/WR/WR_Funding.htm. III. Eligibility Information: A. Eligible Applicants: Participation is limited to State, Commonwealth, or territorial agencies with lead management responsibility for fish and wildlife resources. States, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) must pass laws (assent legislation) for the conservation of fish and wildlife. The law must include a prohibition against the diversion of license fees paid by hunters for purposes other than the administration of the fish and wildlife agency. The public benefits from this wildlife conservation measure. B. Formula and Matching Requirements: One-half of the 11 percent excise tax on bows, arrows, and archery equipment and 10 percent excise tax on handguns, pistols, and revolvers make up the funding for the hunter education and safety program. The other one-half of the excise tax is for wildlife restoration purposes including the 11 percent excise tax on firearms and ammo. Below is the explanation of how the Section 4(c) apportionment is determined for States. 1. Formula-based apportionment 2. Based on State population compared to the total U.S. population using last census figures; 3. No State may receive more than 3 percent or less than 1 percent of the total Hunter Education funds apportioned; and 4. The Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, receive up to one-sixth of 1 percent of the total apportionment. C. Below is the explanation of how the Wildlife Restoration apportionment is determined for States. 1. Formula-based apportionment; 2. 50 percent based on land area of the State and 50 percent based on paid hunting license holders; 3. No State may receive more than 5 percent or less than one-half of 1 percent of the total apportionment; 4. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is apportioned up to one-half of 1 percent; 5. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, receive up to one-sixth of 1 percent of the total apportionment; 6. The State fish and wildlife agency must furnish a certification of the number of paid hunting license holders on an annual basis; and 7. The program is a cost-reimbursement program: the State covers the full amount of an approved project then applies for reimbursement through the WSFR and can be reimbursed up to 75 percent of project costs through the program. The State must provide at least 25 percent of the project costs from a non-Federal source. The non-Federal match for the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands, and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands must not exceed 25 percent and may be waived at the discretion of the Regional Director. According to 48 U.S.C. 1469(a), the Regional Director must waive the first $200,000 of match for each project from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the territories of Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. The non-Federal share could come from license fees paid by hunters. Matching and cost-sharing requirements are discussed in 50 CFR 80, 43 CFR 12.64 and 43 CFR 12.923. In addition, 43 CFR 12.62 identifies Federal cost principles for determining allowable costs. D. Other: Wildlife Restoration funds are available for a period of two years. Funds not obligated within two years by a State revert to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and are spent under the provisions of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act. Also under the provisions of the Wildlife Restoration Act, the interest accumulated from the Act goes to the North American Wetland Conservation program. Although only State agencies can apply for and receive grants under this program, the program encourages partnering with local governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). IV.

        <Description>According to the World Health Organization (2011), approximately 15% of any population has some form of disability, with a higher incidence of disability in countries that are post conflict or affected by natural disasters. The prevalence of disability is expected to rise in coming years due to an ageing global population and an increase in chronic health conditions. Of the estimated 1 billion people throughout the world with a disability, 80% live in less resourced nations. People with disabilities are more likely to experience poverty. Women and girls with disabilities often experience double-discrimination on account of gender and disability. Due to stigma, discrimination and inaccessibility, people with disabilities are less likely to access basic services such as education, employment and healthcare. The lack of access to vital services and programs contributes to their marginalization and exclusion, with little or no option to escape from poverty. Societies that are inclusive of their diverse populations are more likely to be democratic, participatory and equitable. They are more likely to meet their development goals. In spite of this, and although disability is a crosscutting development issue, people with disabilities often remain invisible in the global development agenda. USAID&amp;#146;s Disability Policy states that USAID will not discriminate against people with disabilities and will work to ensure the inclusion and active participation of people with disabilities in USAID-funded programs and activities. To this end, USAID has mainstreamed disability in several of its key policies and sector strategies, such as the Education Strategy (2011), Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Policy (2012) and Strategy on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance (2013). The USAID Disability Policy also calls on missions to reach out to partners, host country counterparts and other donors to lead a collaborative effort to end discrimination against and promote equal opportunity for people with disabilities. In response, several USAID missions have addressed disability in their Country Development Cooperation Strategies. Disability rights are human rights. As noted in the Agency&amp;#146;s Strategy on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance: &amp;#147;&amp;#133; a deliberate human rights lens should be applied across USAID&amp;#146;s portfolio to ensure that the Agency&amp;#146;s programs are not inadvertently contributing to marginalization or inequality. By using a human rights lens, potential beneficiaries who are most at risk of having their rights neglected or abused &amp;#150; such as LGBT persons, people with disabilities, indigenous peoples &amp;#150; will be better recognized and included in USAID programming.&amp;#148; In July 2009, the US signed the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities affirming its commitment to the human rights of people with disabilities around the world. To date, most of the countries in which USAID operates have also signed and ratified the Convention signaling a global movement towards the full realization of the rights of people with disabilities and their role in the international development community. </Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grant Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitat, including species that are not hunted or fished. Activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#191;s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan (Wildlife Action Plan) that was to be submitted by October 1, 2005 and must be approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Wildlife Action Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species with the greatest conservation need and taking into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project which directly contributes to the conservation of wildlife species of greatest conservation need and their habitats, and is consistent with the development or implementation of the State&amp;#191;s Wildlife Action Plan.</Description>

These funds are intended for the purchase of single pieces of equipment whose requested direct costs are between $50,000 and $250,000. Equipment in this price range is often difficult to purchase under the parent grant. Two or more NIGMS grantees at the same institution with similar equipment needs are encouraged to submit separate requests (each between $50,000 and $250,000) that cross-reference each other. It is expected that the amount of funds requested for such joint purchases will reflect the actual proportion of the time that the shared equipment would be used by each PI. NIGMS encourages requests that reflect institutional commitment. </Description>

        <Description> The Humanities Open Book Program is designed to make outstanding out-of-print humanities books available to a wide audience. By taking advantage of low-cost &amp;#191;ebook&amp;#191; technology, the program will allow teachers, students, scholars, and the public to read humanities books that have long been out of print. Humanities Open Book is jointly sponsored by NEH and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Traditionally, printed books have been the primary medium for expressing, communicating, and debating humanistic ideas. However, the vast majority of humanities books sell a small number of copies and then quickly go out of print. Most scholarly books printed since 1923 are not in the public domain and are not easily available to the general public. As a result, there is a huge, mostly untapped resource of remarkable scholarship going back decades that is largely unused by today&amp;#191;s scholars, teachers, students, and members of the public, many of whom turn first to the Internet when looking for information. Modern ebook technology can make these books far more accessible than they are today. NEH and Mellon are soliciting proposals from academic presses, scholarly societies, museums, and other institutions that publish books in the humanities to participate in the Humanities Open Book Program. Applicants will provide a list of previously published humanities books along with brief descriptions of the books and their intellectual significance. Depending on the length and topics of the books, the number to be digitized may vary. However, NEH and Mellon anticipate that applicants may propose to digitize a total that ranges from less than fifty to more than one hundred books. Awards will be given to digitize these books and make them available as Creative Commons-licensed &amp;#191;ebooks&amp;#191; that can be read by the public at no charge on computers, mobile devices, and ebook readers. The final ebook files must be in EPUB version 3.0.1 (or later) format, to ensure that the text is fully searchable and reflowable and that fonts are resizable on any e-reading device. </Description>

        <Description>The Air Force Research Laboratories and 711th Human Performance Wing are soliciting white papers (and later technical and cost proposals) on the following research effort. This is an open ended BAA. The closing date for submission of White Papers is 17 Nov 2019.This program deals with science and technology development, experimentation, and demonstration in the areas of improving and personalizing individual, team, and larger group instructional training methods for airmen. The approaches relate to competency definition and requirements analysis, training and rehearsal strategies, and models and environments that support learning and proficiency achievement and sustainment during non-practice of under novel contexts. This effort focuses on measuring, diagnosing, and modeling airman expertise and performance, rapid development of models of airman cognition and specifying and validating, both empirically and practically, new classes of synthetic, computer-generated agents and teammates.An Industry Day was held in November 2014. Presentation materials from the Industry Day and Q&amp;amp;A&amp;apos;s are attached.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Statutory Eligibility Requirements, written into the DFC Act, are inherent in the DFC Program. (See Table 2 of this RFA: Statutory Eligibility Requirements). Please read the Statutory Eligibility Requirements carefully and provide the information necessary to meet the requirements in Attachments 1-8 of your application. Failure to meet any single eligibility requirement will cause the application to be deemed ineligible, and the application will not move forward to Peer Review. Should your application fail to meet the eligibility requirements, the person listed as the contact person on the Application for Federal Assistance will receive a letter stating why the application was deemed ineligible. No new materials or information may be added to the original application after it has been submitted. Final authority lies with the DFC Administrator to determine the eligibility of an application.    All DFC applications will be jointly screened by ONDCP and SAMHSA to determine whether each applicant meets all the DFC Program eligibility requirements contained in Table 2 of this RFA. In addition, the non-profit status of the grantee/legal applicant (if applicable) will be verified along with its ability to fiscally manage Federal funds. Applications submitted by eligible coalitions that demonstrate they meet all requirements will then be scored through a Peer Review process according to the evaluation criteria described in Part V of this RFA, Application Review Information.    Table 2 of this RFA contains a summary of the Statutory Eligibility Requirements and the minimum documentation applicants must provide to meet the eligibility criteria. The &amp;#147;Where to Document&amp;#148; section in the following table shows applicants where to include the required information in their applications (e.g., as an attachment, in the Project Narrative, in the Budget Narrative). Each year, DFC grantees must demonstrate compliance with all of the Statutory Eligibility Requirements to be considered for continued funding.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) are accepting applications for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Drug Free Communities Support Program (DFC) grants. The purpose of the DFC Program is to establish and strengthen collaboration to support the efforts of community coalitions working to prevent and reduce substance use among youth. DFC is a collaborative initiative, sponsored by ONDCP, in partnership with SAMHSA, which works to achieve two goals: Establish and strengthen collaboration among communities, public and private non-profit agencies, and Federal, State, local, and tribal governments to support the efforts of community coalitions working to prevent and reduce substance use among youth. For the purposes of this RFA, &amp;#147;youth&amp;#148; is defined as individuals 18 years of age and younger. Reduce substance use among youth and, over time, reduce substance abuse among adults by addressing the factors in a community that increase the risk of substance abuse and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance abuse. DFC grantees are required to work toward these two goals as the primary focus of their Federally-funded effort. The DFC Program was created by the Drug Free Communities Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-20), reauthorized through the Drug Free Communities Reauthorization Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-82), and reauthorized again through the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-469). The latest reauthorization extended the program for an additional five years until 2012. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA. Since 1998, ONDCP has awarded approximately 2,000 DFC grants, with up to 30 new awards expected in FY 2012. Grants have been awarded to communities from every region in the nation including rural, urban, suburban, and tribal communities. Additional grantee information is available on the DFC website at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/Drug-Free-Communities-Support-Program.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages grant applications from investigators interested in conducting basic research studies into the biological/genetic causes and mechanisms of cancer health disparities. These awards will support pilot and feasibility studies designed to investigate biological/genetic bases of cancer disparities, such as (1) mechanistic studies of biological factors associated with cancer disparities, (2) the development and testing of new methodologies and models, and (3) secondary data analyses. This FOA is also designed to aid and facilitate the growth of a nationwide cohort of scientists with a high level of basic research expertise in cancer health disparities research who can expand available resources and tools, such as biospecimens, cell lines and methods that are necessary to conduct basic research in cancer health disparities. In addition, the FOA will further the development of scientific areas, providing support for early-stage exploratory projects that lead to future in-depth mechanistic studies (such as R01 projects) of the biology of cancer health disparities.</Description>

        <Description>The overall purpose of FOA #DD13-003(BD-STEPS) is to identify modifiable maternal exposuresin early pregnancy that may increase the risk for having a pregnancy affected by certain major,structural birth defects. The purpose of this supplemental FOA is to expand the use of theinfrastructure of the Centers for Birth Defects Research and Prevention (CBDRPs) birth defectsresearch program to pilot the identification of modifiable exposures that may increase the risk ofstillbirths with and without major birth defects. Key objectives include: 1) conducting a pilot studyof stillbirths without major birth defects within the CBDRPs, and 2) analyzing previously collecteddata from CBDRP on stillbirths with major birth defects. CDC&amp;#146;s mission is &amp;#147;to promote health andquality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability.&amp;#148; This program is mostclosely aligned with CDC&amp;#146;s Health Protection Goal of &amp;#147;Healthy People in Every Stage of Life.&amp;#148;Quantifiable and measurable outcomes will be measured against the GPRA performance goal to findcauses and risk factors for birth defects in order to develop prevention strategies.</Description>

        <Description>The Division of Child, Adolescent, and Family Health (DCAFH) and the Division of Healthy Start and Perinatal Services (DHSPS), both parts of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are accepting applications for the National Fetal, Infant, and Child Death Review Center (FICDRC or Center). Please read the entire FOA carefully before completing the application. The ultimate goal of fetal, infant and child death reviews is to prevent deaths of children through the use of information gained from systematic reviews that identify factors at the individual, environmental, clinical or systems levels that can be mitigated. Ideally by having this comprehensive review, factors associated with preventable deaths can be addressed. CDR and FIMR programs provide valuable information regarding fetal, infant and child deaths and provide insight into gaps in services, systems and modifiable risk factors not obtained from administrative surveillance systems. Information from these reviews can be used at the local, state and Federal levels to focus planning and policy development, quality improvement and health systems development, and to enhance efforts to develop and maintain risk reduction and prevention programs. This initiative will provide funds for a FICDRC to improve and strengthen state and local capacity to perform complete and accurate fetal and child death reviews including an estimated 1,200 CDR and 159 FIMR programs. Specifically, the Center will support the use of standardized data collection protocols and data elements to design prevention-oriented recommendations, and translate those recommendations into local, state and national program and policy development and quality improvement efforts. Through the delivery of data, training and technical support, the Center will assist State and community programs in understanding how CDR and FIMR can be used to address issues related to adverse maternal, infant, child, and adolescent outcomes; monitor progress toward improving maternal and child health systems; improve the quality and effectiveness of the CDR and FIMR processes; increase the availability and use of data to measure performance and inform prevention efforts; and disseminate the results nationally.</Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 for a Cooperative Agreement for Networking, Certifying, and Training Suicide Prevention Hotlines and a National Disaster Distress Helpline (DDH). The purpose of this program is twofold. First, to manage, enhance, and strengthen the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (referred to as the Lifeline), SAMHSA&amp;#146;s system of toll-free telephone numbers, primarily 1-800-273-TALK (8255) that routes calls from anywhere in the United States to a network of certified local crisis centers that can intervene with, support, and link callers to local emergency, mental health, and social service resources. The technology permits calls to be directed immediately to a suicide prevention worker who is geographically closest to the caller. Second, this cooperative agreement supports the National Disaster Distress Helpline, through the number 1-800-985-5990 and text number TalkWithUs to 66746 to increase state and local capacity to connect affected residents with needed behavioral health services such as crisis counseling and referral services after a disaster and/or traumatic event. The SAMHSA Lifeline is a 24-hour, confidential suicide prevention hotline and chat network available to anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. It is available to callers from anywhere in the United States. Callers can call a single toll-free number, primarily 1-800-273-TALK (8255), to be routed to the closest crisis center within the Lifeline&amp;#146;s network of certified local crisis centers that can link callers to local emergency, mental health, and social service resources The DDH is a free, confidential 24/7 crisis support service that connects residents across the country who are experiencing distress as a result of a disaster and/or traumatic event with a crisis center responder through a sub network of the Lifeline crisis centers. Through the number 1-800-985-5990 and text number TalkWithUs to 66746, the DDH increases state and local capacity to connect affected residents with needed behavioral health services such as crisis counseling services and referrals after a disaster and/or traumatic event. Counselors provide crisis-counseling support, information on available resources, and provide referrals to local services and supports that are based on the caller&amp;#146;s geographic location. The DDH initiative is expected to increase and improve public access to crisis intervention services, response to public need during periods of disasters and traumatic events, and to promote a consistent and evidence-informed approach to crisis hotline and text services throughout the network. The Cooperative Agreement for Networking, Certifying, and Training Suicide Prevention Hotlines and the Disaster Distress Helpline programs seek to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. Several social factors make a person more vulnerable than others in times of disaster. Some include where you live, level of poverty, age, being unemployed or gender (particularly with women supporting children or elderly parents). Following a disaster, it is relatively common for impacted persons to experience anxiety and stress. If these conditions are left untreated, there is increased possibility that the mental health status of these individuals will worsen and the social and economic costs associated with depleted health and lost productivity can increase. (See PART II: Appendix G &amp;#150; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) The Cooperative Agreement for Networking, Certifying and Training of Suicide Prevention Hotlines and Disaster Distress Helpline grant is authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-28. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Population Affairs provides funding for grants and contracts to support training for personnel working in Title X-funded services projects (42 U.S.C. 300, Sec 1003). The purpose of all family planning training is to ensure that personnel working in Title X family planning services projects have the skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary for the effective delivery of family planning services; and that family planning program services and management are high quality. The clinical training center for family planning provides training to ensure that clinical services are high-quality and is expected to provide training and technical assistance grounded in evidence-based principles. From the early 1970s until the year 2000, the OPA funded certificate family planning/women&amp;#146;s health nurse practitioner training programs to ensure the availability of health care practitioners with expertise in family planning to work in Title X-funded clinics. Beginning in 2000, Title X began funding the &amp;#147;clinical specialty&amp;#146;&amp;#146; training programs, as a means to ensure that health care practitioners had the hands-on knowledge and skills to provide effective, high quality family planning services in Title X-funded service projects. Following these programs, in 2006 the family planning clinical training cooperative agreement was funded to provide preceptor training and a biannual reproductive health conference. This Notice announces the availability of funds for a new clinical training program that will continue and build upon all of the previous efforts and serve Title X-funded service providers throughout the country. This announcement seeks applications from public and private nonprofit entities to establish and operate a Title X family planning clinical training center, which shall provide training to and ensure that health care practitioners providing services in Title X-funded service projects have the knowledge, skills and attitudes to provide effective and high-quality family planning clinical services. The clinical training center must use evidence-based information and incorporate best practices and/or evidence-informed practices in all aspects of training. The successful applicant must incorporate all applicable elements of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Office of Population Affairs (OPA) joint publication, &amp;#147;Providing Quality Family Planning Services&amp;#148; (QFP) (MMWR; 63 (No. 4)) in training design, curricula development and material creation, as appropriate. In addition, the successful applicant will maintain knowledge of the most current research and standards of care in order to act as a resource on a broad range of clinical family planning and reproductive health issues, including other training centers funded within the Title X program. Awards will be in the form of a cooperative agreement with the grantee for up to 4 years. A cooperative agreement, as opposed to a grant, is an award instrument of financial assistance where substantial programmatic involvement is anticipated between OAH and the grantee during performance of the project or activity. In addition to the usual monitoring and technical assistance provided under the cooperative agreement (e.g., assistance from assigned Federal project officer, regular conference calls, occasional monitoring visits, ongoing review of plans and progress, participation in relevant meetings, provision of training and technical assistance), OPA substantial programmatic involvement will include: 1) Assisting the awardee to establish, review, and update priorities for activities conducted under the auspices of this cooperative agreement. 2) Consulting with the awardee throughout the preparation and dissemination of materials related to the grant. 3) Review all program materials prior to use in the project to ensure the materials are clinically and programmatically accurate and complete. </Description>

        <Description>One of the goals for the U.S. Mission to India is enhancing security and law enforcement cooperation between the United States and India. During Prime Minister Modi&amp;#146;s September 2014 visit to the United States, President Obama and Prime Minister Modi released a joint statement in which the leaders stated their intention to expand cooperation to bolster national, regional, and global security. They expressed deep concern over the continued threat posed by terrorism, most recently highlighted by the dangers presented by the ISIL, and underlined the need for continued comprehensive global efforts to combat and defeat terrorism. Both countries have suffered attacks from international and domestic terrorism. The Boston bombings, Mumbai attacks, mall attack in Nairobi, hostage situation in Sydney, and shooting in Ottawa demonstrate that large urban centers remain particularly vulnerable to security threats. For the United States, India, and other countries to protect their citizens, greater collaboration, planning, and strategy are required. PAS Mumbai seeks a grantee to plan and implement a Megacity Security Conference to take place in September 2015 in Mumbai and invites proposals. At the end of the conference, the grantee will produce a &amp;#147;white paper&amp;#148; of recommendations for megacity security that can guide policymakers and possibly be available to the public. Topics for the conference could include, but are not limited to, homeland security, counterterrorism, safety and security of critical infrastructure and industries, technology and security, modernization of law enforcement agencies, national security policy, interoperability between multiple government agencies, cooperation between law enforcement and communities/civil society, public safety, media and security, and international security cooperation. A competitive proposal will bring together experts from around the world who are acknowledged leaders in their respective fields and contribute to domestic or international discourse on security and/or counterterrorism issues. The conference should include experts from the United States, India, and other countries facing the challenges of providing security in megacities. Suggestions include, but are not limited to, New York, Washington DC, Tokyo, Manila, Jakarta, Dhaka, Madrid, Paris, and London. The final list of experts will be approved by the U.S. Consulate General Mumbai Public Affairs Section. The conference&amp;#146;s target audience should include Indian law enforcement agencies such as the Police, Terror Response Force, Intelligence Bureau, Crime Branch, Emergency Response Cells; lawyers; U.S. and Indian policymakers; think tanks; academics; the diplomatic community; business leaders; and media. A core objective of this program is to strengthen networks between U.S. and Indian foreign policy experts. The grantee will be required to identify and work with a U.S. or Indian co-partner&amp;#151;policy organization, think tank, academic institution, or trade body&amp;#151;to develop and execute the conference. The final selection of partner(s) will be approved by the U.S. Consulate General Mumbai Public Affairs Section. The grantee will develop the conference agenda, invite and ensure participation of international and local experts, and manage all logistics related to conference events. The implementation strategy, media releases, promotional materials, and white paper will be developed by the grantee and approved by the U.S. Consulate General Mumbai Public Affairs Section. The project should include a robust media plan, including traditional and new media. The project should be amplified across the grantees&amp;#146; social media platforms in collaboration with U.S. Consulate General Mumbai.

        <Description>Under FY14 appropriations to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) anticipates providing grants to support implementation of up to 3 Great Lakes State Aquatic Invasive/Nuisance Species Management Plans (Plans) not previously funded under FY14 GLRI. Grant awards will be used by states for activities that directly relate to the protection and restoration of the Great Lakes and Great Lakes Basin. A grant funded under this program will require, within 1 year of the grant agreement becoming fully effective, completion of either one rapid response training session or one rapid response action. Only states, who have not previously been allocated grant awards under FY14 GLRI Plan competition, can apply to this Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). To be eligible for FY14 funding to implement State Plans, FY10 grant funds must be completely expended, and FY11 funds must be fully expended by April 30, 2015. Also, allocation of funding will require, within 1 year of the grant agreement becoming fully executed, completion of either one rapid response training session or one rapid response action. Also, state agencies must have completed a rapid rapid response plan. Please include the completed state rapid response plan as an attachment in your grant application. Two-year grant awards will be used by states for activities that directly relate to the protection and restoration of the Great Lakes and Great Lakes Basin. Priorities for funding will include: - Implementing risk management approaches for species and pathways as described in GLMRIS reports (http://glmris.anl.gov/) - Developing and implementing an Asian carp prevention and management plan for the Great Lakes - Addressing climate change in risk assessment and management activities. Refer to the NOFA for additional grant evaluation criteria.</Description>

The State of Wisconsin, the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, the United States Department of the Interior (represented by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs) and the United States Department of Commerce (represented by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) (collectively, the Trustees) have worked together, (n a cooperative process, to deter)ine what is necessary to address natural resource injuries caused by past releases of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into the Lower Fox River and Green Bay assessment area. Natural resource damages received, either through negotiated or adjudicated settlements, must be used to restore, rehabilitate, replace and or acquire the equivalent of those natural resources that have been injured. This is a notice of intent to award a single source grant to The Nature Conservancy under justification 505DM 2.14B 1. Competition for the grant is not feasible due to the fact that The Nature Conservancy has negotiated an offer to purchase with the willing seller to preserve St. Martin&amp;apos;s Island. Specifically, the Grant recipient will acquire and provide permanent protection of approximately 1243 acres of land on St. Martins Island.</Description>

        <Description>NNH12ZDA001N, entitled &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences - 2012 (ROSES-2012),&amp;quot; will be available on or about February 14, 2012, by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listing &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Open Solicitations.&amp;quot; This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals for supporting basic and applied research and technology across a broad range of Earth and space science program elements relevant to one or more of the following NASA Research Programs: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system m odels; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangem ents. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on May 4, 2012, and continue through March 22, 2013. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 16, 2012. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be re gistered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2013, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2012/ Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA, while questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: sara@nasa.gov; Telephone: 202-358-0879. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Value Program. The purpose of the Rural Health Value Program is to inform rural health care providers , and stakeholders such as HHS, Congress, states, and for-profit and nonprofit entities that set policies impacting rural health care providers, about the impacts of changes in the health care delivery system, and to provide technical assistance to rural providers in identifying potential new approaches to health care delivery in their communities. The health care delivery system is undergoing dramatic change, with an emphasis on finding new approaches and organizational frameworks to improve health outcomes, control costs, and improve population health. Financial incentives are moving from volume-based services to value-based services, with a focus on measuring and accounting for quality of care in all settings and improving transitions of care as patients move between care settings. New approaches to organizing care delivery are occurring quickly; however, most early adopters have been large, urban-based integrated delivery systems. Early demonstrations and initiatives supported by private foundations or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) focused largely on providers paid under traditional administered pricing systems and for whom quality indicators are well established. Because rural health care providers are often paid outside of the traditional prospective payment systems and fee schedules, there is less known about how new and emerging models might function in rural communities. As a result, rural health care providers and other stakeholders need to better understand the implications of these models, particularly for low-volume rural providers and those that receive special payment designations. Rural providers need access to information and technical assistance to effectively take part in new and emerging demonstrations and initiatives. Under its statutory authority, the FORHP funds community health organizations to test innovative approaches to improving the delivery of care in their communities. Projects focus on a wide range of activities, including direct health care delivery, formation of networks to gain economies of scale and shared knowledge, implementation of quality of improvement strategies, and expansion of health care service delivery via telehealth. Evaluation of these awards documents outcomes and leads to the development of evidence-based practices that may be replicated in other communities. These best practices are shared with the broader rural health community primarily via the Rural Community Health Gateway. ORHP also funds technical assistance providers to work with grantees to implement best practices in their projects. There are numerous opportunities to learn from and highlight the innovations of these grantees, and to share information with the technical assistance providers who support them. Specifically, the Rural Health Value Program awardee will: 1) Review the work performed under the current Rural Health System Analysis and Technical Assistance (RHSATA) Cooperative Agreement program and identify ways to build on that work; 2) Analyze recent national, regional, State and local demonstrations and initiatives for lessons learned that are relevant to rural health care providers, including barriers and policy challenges; translate findings for rural health care providers so that they might meaningfully participate; and disseminate the findings broadly to policy makers and rural health stakeholders; 3) Conduct modeling of payment and quality proposals to inform rural health care delivery systems and other stakeholders and to assess alternative ways of delivering services in rural communities; 4) Provide technical assistance to rural health care providers, including ORHP grantees, who seek to participate in a variety of demonstrations and initiatives that can help improve patient outcomes, lower health care costs, and/or improve population health; and 5) Coordinate with ORHP grantees and other community-based programs in rural communities to facilitate maximum exposure and dissemination of program information, resources, and profiles of innovative rural health entities.</Description>

        <Description>Health centers improve the health of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services. Health Center Program grants support a variety of community-based and patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that serve an increasing number of the Nation&amp;#191;s underserved. Individually, each health center plays an important role in the goal of ensuring access to services, and combined, they have had a critical impact on the health care status of medically underserved and vulnerable populations throughout the United States and its territories. The Health Center Program targets the Nation&amp;#191;s neediest populations and geographic areas by currently funding approximately 1,300 health centers that operate over 9,000 service delivery sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In 2013, more than 21 million patients, including medically underserved and uninsured patients, received comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services through the Health Center Program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Health Center Program&amp;#191;s Service Area Competition &amp;#191; Additional Areas (SAC-AA). The FOA details the SAC-AA eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations seeking a grant for operational support of an announced service area under the Health Center Program, including Community Health Center (CHC &amp;#191; section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC &amp;#191; section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH &amp;#191; section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC &amp;#191; section 330(i)). For the purposes of this document, the term &amp;#191;health center&amp;#191; refers to the diverse types of health centers (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and /or PHPC) supported under section 330 of the PHS Act, as amended.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this RFI is to solicit input from organizations involved in managing, analyzing and visualizing data, particularly for the purposes of informing policy and decision-making in international development. In this RFI, we seek to gather information about the scope of a draft Statement of Work (SOW) and the community&amp;#146;s capabilities to fulfill these requests. In particular, we want to understand the available expertise, the feasibility, and challenges faced in responding to the services outlined in our draft SOW.II. BackgroundData and their many applications are critical to development infrastructure in the 21st century, both for the United States Agency for International Development&amp;#146;s (USAID) programs and activities, and for the developing countries with whom we partner. The core goal of the Data and Analytics Team is to facilitate increased use of data and evidence to improve development outcomes. By strengthening USAID&amp;#146;s evidence base and building its capacity to apply cutting-edge analytical tools in measuring and improving impact of our work, we aim to turn data into actionable information for development. To deliver on this vision, we seek to develop partnerships, apply innovative technologies and approaches, and build analytical capacity within USAID and host-country counterparts.The ability to manage, conduct, and visualize analyses of relevant information is integral to long-term strategic planning, program and activity design, the evaluation of programs, and the dissemination of lessons learned. However, operating units within USAID are sometimes constrained by existing capacity to transform data into insights that could inform development programming. To address this need, the Data and Analytics team is seeking to partner with external organizations to provide support for data management, analysis, and visualization. Initial consultations have suggested services needed in the following five areas, described in detail in the attached draft SOW: Data analysis and visualization; Research to contextualize development efforts and challenges; Data infrastructure and information sharing; Futures analysis and scenario planning </Description>

        <Description>The USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center, Davie, Florida, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to model habitat use of threatened and endangered sea turtles. The sea turtle spatial dataset is comprised of satellite- and GPS tag-derived locations in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Caribbean. Initial data analyses have shown high-use areas for adult female Kemp&amp;#191;s ridleys, loggerheads, and green turtles. Habitat features such as depth and distance to shore have been ranked as key factors in habitat selection; however, determining other key environmental drivers of habitat selection is a research need.</Description>

        <Description>The NPS seeks an organizational partner who can provide a crew consisting of at least 2 leaders and 8 members with at least one of the leaders being sawyer qualified to operate a chainsaw and brush saw. The duration of the project will be 4 weeks. The partner will be responsible for providing skilled leaders and the leaders and crews expenses including training, travel, recruiting, administrative support, basecamp gear and PPE, liability coverage, personal accident insurance, and 24-hour emergency response. The NPS will provide a crew liaison, work project materials, tools, communication device and basecamp for crew. Basecamp will be located in the backcountry of the park most of the project. The goals of the project are: 1) Provide safe and enjoyable trails for the visitors of Voyageurs NP. 2) Offer engaging opportunities for youth to have a work/learning experience with the NPS. Background: The National Park Service seeks to involve youth in the programs and operations of the park. This project will provide youth with a sense of the maintenance required to keep the assets within the park operating and in good condition. The project will repair several snowmobile and hiking trails within the park. Repairing the trail surface and removing vegetation that has encroached on the trail and impacted the view will greatly enhance visitor experience, satisfaction and enjoyment. Adding fill, removing root masses from uproot trees and brushing along the snowmobile safety portages is critical to providing safe routes for winter visitors by providing greater visual distances to see oncoming snowmobiles and providing adequate space for two snowmobiles to pass on the trails. It also provides a safer trail width for the trail grooming machine. Skills desired: &amp;#149; Experience working trail maintenance &amp;#149; Experience working with chainsaws and brush saws &amp;#149; Knowledge of backcountry camping &amp;#149; Knowledge of canoeing Materials Requested for Statement of Information/Qualifications: Interested organizations should submit a Statement of Information (three-page maximum) including a summary of how you would implement and manage this project in conjunction with NPS staff. Include your name, organization, and contact information, a brief description of the organization and mission, as well as a description of relevant qualifications and experience with recruiting and placement of youth interns, past projects, and staff, faculty, or students who would be available to work on the project. Include a bid with the Statement of Information. The Statement of Information and bid will be reviewed by the NPS in order determine the organization best suited to provide services for this specific project. Submit electronic Request for Information to catherine_schroeder@nps.gov by Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. CDT. Note: This Request for Information seeks responses from organizations qualified to provide individual youth and young adults for internship opportunities with the National Park Service that provide environmental stewardship and service-learning opportunities through conservation, natural resource management, and emergency response work. Individuals interested in serving as an intern should contact the park directly.

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to improve the development and validation of molecular diagnostics for the treatment, control, or prevention of cancer. This FOA includes, but is not limited to, the validation of prognostic, predictive or response markers for treatment and markers for cancer control or prevention trials. Applicants should have an assay that works in human samples and whose importance is well justified for development into a clinical assay. The UH2 phase of this FOA supports analytical validation of assays for these markers that must be achieved within two years before an assay may undergo clinical validation. The UH3 phase of this FOA supports the clinical validation of established assays for up to three years using specimens from retrospective or prospective studies from NCI-supported or other clinical trials. In both the UH2 and UH3 phases, clinical laboratory staff, technical and other needs must be an integral part of the application. Assays proposed for this FOA may be used to validate existing assays for use in other cancer clinical trials, observational studies or populations. Projects proposed for this FOA will require multi-disciplinary interaction and collaboration among scientific investigators, clinicians, statisticians and clinical laboratory scientists and staff. This FOA is not intended to support trials that assess the clinical utility of a marker/assay but is intended to develop assays to the point where their clinical utility could be assessed in other trials. Investigators responding to this FOA must address both UH2 and UH3 phases. </Description>

        <Description>The increasing success of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has enabled some infertile couples to create embryos through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) that are then cryopreserved (frozen) for future use. If a couple becomes pregnant without using all of the stored embryos, they may choose to donate the remaining embryos for use by other infertile couples. Embryo donation is a relatively new process in which individuals with extra frozen embryos agree to release the embryos for use by another woman who wishes to achieve pregnancy. The recipient can be either anonymous or known to the donor(s). This notice solicits applications for projects in two categories: (1) Projects that increase public awareness of embryo donation and/or adoption; and (2) Projects that offer services, including counseling, to couples that are currently involved, or soon may be involved, in the process of embryo donation and/or adoption. Applicants may also propose a project that addresses both the public awareness aspect of the program and the &amp;#147;services&amp;#148; aspect in a single grant.Public Awareness: This aspect of the program comprises traditional media and advertising modalities, &amp;quot;new media&amp;quot; efforts (such as blogging) as well as generalized education in the basic principles of embryo donation/adoption that can be offered to large audiences. Applicants should make reasonable efforts to ensure that the individuals who design and implement the public awareness projects are knowledgeable in all facets of the embryo donation and/or adoption process and are experienced in providing such information. Applicants are encouraged to incorporate, to the extent possible, the concepts of Reproductive Life Planning in their public awareness messaging. Reproductive Life Planning (RLP) is a process by which an individual 1) establishes goals about the number and spacing of children that she or he wants; and, 2) marshals resources (including physical health and time) in an effort to meet those goals. More information about RLP is available at www.cdc.gov/preconception/reproductiveplan.html. Applicants are also encouraged to develop a plan to counter common misconceptions about frozen embryo adoption that appear in traditional and social media (e. g. that frozen embryos only remain viable for a limited time) by employing recent findings from the medical, legal and social science literature. In the narrative section of the application, applicants are advised to describe the strategies and processes that they will use to design a public awareness campaign. The applicant should document its capacity to undertake an awareness campaign focused on the general public or on professional audiences. Applicants are encouraged to present a description of approaches that will be employed, as well as any supplemental materials (resource manuals, brochures, handouts, visual aids, and other resources) that will be used.Administrative or Medical Services: This aspect of the program will include administrative and/or medical services to couples who are currently or potentially involved in embryo donation or adoption. For the purposes of this announcement, counseling is considered a &amp;#147;medical service.&amp;#148; &amp;#147;Administrative services&amp;#148; are those that help an embryo donation/adoption patient (or couple) to overcome the financial, legal, and other non-medical obstacles that may occur in the process of embryo donation/adoption. Training of professionals, for the purpose of enabling them to provide administrative and/or medical services, is also included within this aspect of the program. In the narrative section of the application, applicants are advised to describe in detail the means they intend to use to assist couples who are in the process of embryo donation or adoption. Applicants are encouraged to develop strategies for delivering services that increase the ability of couples to donate or adopt frozen embryos. Strategies aimed at increasing the percentage of currently frozen embryos that are made available for donation/adoption are acceptable under this program. In particular, applicants are urged to devise strategies that &amp;#147;front load&amp;#148; services such as counseling so as to provide early information about the advantages (and disadvantages) of embryo donation/adoption to infertile couples. In other words, applicants in this category are advised to develop counseling interventions that approach infertile couples who may be considering embryo donation/adoption before they actually commit to the process of in vitro fertilization. For the purposes of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), applicants are advised to develop approaches that inform infertile couples who may be considering embryo donation/adoption about the possibilities and costs of embryo donation/adoption early in the couple&amp;#146;s infertility journey. To this end, projects involving Ob/Gyn medical practices are strongly encouraged.Projects that support administrative services for people who are contemplating embryo donation/adoption may also be funded. A project that proposes a call-in center to give specific information on State and Federal regulations pertaining to frozen embryo transfer would be an example of this aspect of the Embryo Donation/Adoption program. Embryo donation and/or adoption is an emerging field. The practice of embryo donation and/or adoption is complicated by the different attitudes and expectations that professionals, as well as potential donors, have about this option. Many potential donors have limited knowledge of embryo donation and little access to information to aid them in making a decision on the donation of their embryos. Potential donors may benefit from the provision of information and connection to support networks or peers. OPA is interested in assisting potential donors with this difficult decision and in providing training to professionals for the purpose of preparing them to provide supportive services to potential donors. The current and emerging body of knowledge related to embryo donation and/or adoption should provide the basis for training content. Successful applicants will be able to incorporate current, evidence-based information in all phases of training design, delivery, and evaluation. Applicant organizations should demonstrate significant experience in the design, development, implementation, successful completion, and evaluation of training activities. In addition, the successful applicant must demonstrate skill and experience in providing training to diverse groups. The successful applicant will provide evidence of familiarity with embryo donation and/or adoption and the ability to translate evidence-based information into focused training activitiesTraining professionals to offer medical or administrative services to couples who are involved in embryo donation/adoption is included in the &amp;#147;services&amp;#148; aspect of the program. Applicants may conduct training activities for professionals that offer couples or individuals help with the medical, legal, psycho-social, ethical, and practical issues surrounding embryo donation and/or adoption. This training should be designed to enhance the ability of multiple levels of providers to share information and to assist potential donors with embryo donation and/or adoption. Training design and content should be adjusted to the skill and practice role of the target audience. OPA expects that appropriate continuing education credits will be available for training activities provided under this announcement. The content and number of offerings should be based on an assessment of the need and these offerings should be designed and delivered in a manner appropriate to the content of the course as well as professional preparation of the participants. Distance learning strategies may be incorporated as part of the training offerings.Applicants are encouraged to devise strategies to identify the various professional audiences associated with embryo donation and/or adoption and to provide training to the involved professionals (e.g., reproductive medicine physicians, nurses, embryologists, family practice lawyers, adoption counselors, ethicists, social workers, IVF clinic staff, embryo storage facility staff, etc.) in the complex legal, medical, psycho-social, ethical and practical issues that confront the embryo donor and recipient populations. Services provided by applicant organizations must be offered consistent with 42 CFR 59.5(a)(4), which requires that services be provided &amp;#147;without regard to religion, race, color, national origin, handicapping condition, age, sex, number of pregnancies, or marital status.&amp;#148; Applicants are advised to demonstrate a familiarity with, and understanding of, professionally recognized standards or practices (both medical and legal) pertaining to embryo donation and/or adoption, as well as supportive services for potential donor or recipient couples. The applicant organization should clearly demonstrate its professional knowledge and experience with potential donor or recipient populations.The applicant should document its capacity to undertake a grant project that offers medical or administrative services to couples involved in embryo donation/adoption. Applicants are encouraged to present a description of approaches which they propose to use in their service delivery. These approaches should be economically feasible, equitable and ethically sound.Only those organizations or agencies that demonstrate the capability of providing the proposed services and that meet the requirements of this announcement will be considered for awards. Applications are encouraged from organizations that are currently operating programs that have the capability of providing services (including counseling) to people who are considering embryo donation and/or adoption. Moreover, applications are encouraged from organizations that have the capability to conduct a rigorous evaluation of the funded project. Faith-based and community-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements are eligible to apply for these embryo donation and/or adoption grant projects. Please note, however, that grant funds may not be used for inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, and proselytization. If an organization engages in such activities, they must be offered separately in time or location from the grant program and participation must be voluntary for program beneficiaries. In providing services and outreach related to program services, a funded entity may not discriminate against current or prospective program beneficiaries on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to actively participate in a religious practice.Project funds cannot be used to pay for human tissues, nor for any approach that may be construed as involving compensation for the donation of human tissues. Reimbursement of a donor&amp;apos;s already accrued storage fees is not considered an acceptable practice under this program.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to invite cooperative agreement applications from experienced clinical investigators to participate in the EMSC Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN). The goal is to develop an efficient research network that will conduct high quality research and publish evidence-based findings that will impact clinical practice and ensure standardized care in diverse health care settings that serve children, including urban, rural and tribal settings. PECARN works with diverse demographic populations and across varied geographical regions to promote the health of children in all phases of care. The research will contribute to the pediatric health care delivery knowledge base and the findings will be especially important in health care settings where pediatric expertise may be limited. Six funded PECARN cooperative agreements and a separately funded data center comprise the PECARN network. More information on PECARN can be found at http://www.pecarn.org. Specific information about the requirements of the applicant is included in Section IV (2.ii) &amp;#191;Program Narrative.&amp;#191; The goal of this network is to conduct meaningful and rigorous multi-institutional research into the treatment and management of acute illnesses and injuries in children and youth across the continuum of emergency medical health care. This infrastructure helps to overcome present challenges in accessing enough pediatric patients to assess efficacy, effectiveness and quality of care from the relatively small number of pediatric emergency events. The impact of the PECARN will be improved pediatric emergency and pre-hospital care for children, improved systems of care, and decreased morbidity and mortality among children in the acute care setting. In this cooperative agreement, award recipients will be required to identify Emergency Department (ED) sites and an EMS affiliate as collaborators in their research node to expand the scope of the Network and demonstrate the feasibility of conducting research in prehospital/ EMS settings. The applicant must submit two pilot research project proposals with one to include the EMS affiliate and discuss the potential for feasible collaboration with that affiliate. The objectives of this award are to: 1) Support a network infrastructure to conduct high priority, high impact EMSC research using rigorous study design and methodologies that can be applied to multi-site ED and/or prehospital emergency settings; 2) Contribute to an organizational structure that ensures network efficiency, productivity, and fidelity of study implementation and includes the ability to: a) Develop study projects; b) Attain extramural funding; c) Conduct multi-site clinical investigations; d) Publish and disseminate results; and e) Develop young investigators in the area of pediatric emergency medicine; 3) Facilitate translation of research results to EMSC practices; and 4) Foster collaboration among EMS personnel, nurses, practitioners and researchers.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies while leveraging federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches for incorporation into NRCS technical manuals or guides, or further adoption by the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. It is a vehicle to stimulate the development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a high likelihood of success and to be candidates for eventual technology transfer. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. NRCS Alaska will accept applications for single or multi-year projects, not to exceed three years. Projects must involve landowners who meet the EQIP eligibility requirements. Applications will only be considered for projects within Alaska. Priorities for Alaska&amp;apos;s 2012 CIG State Program are innovative practices in energy conservation and best management practices for high tunnel production. Pre-proposals and full proposal applications will be reviewed for compliance with threshold eligibility criteria; eligible and complete submissions will be reviewed by a technical peer review panel and scored based on objective criteria.</Description>

Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL&amp;#146;s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive and merit-based process, one or more cooperative agreements to organizations to implement a project(s) in El Salvador and Honduras to support the two countries&amp;#146; efforts to increase the capacity of at-risk youth to access non-exploitive, non-hazardous work opportunities in Honduras and El Salvador. Specifically, the project will: provide quality, market-relevant skills training to at-risk youth, primarily from communities with high crime and violence levels, in a safe and secure learning environment; provide follow-up services to help those youth secure and retain employment; and foster sustained employer involvement in both the development of the market-relevant skills training and job placement for at-risk youth. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)&amp;#146;s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) in Fiscal Year 15. Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ and http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/SGAguidelines.htm for general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications. This NOI does not include an FOA or any attachments. It only constitutes a notice of USDOL&amp;#146;s intent to publish an FOA at a later date. Interested applicants are encouraged to monitor www.grants.gov for the FOA because this is the method by which it will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies will be provided.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institutes of Health, encourages applications that will develop novel technologies and/or tools to facilitate the study of genes and proteins at the synapse on a large scale. Being able to characterize the synaptome in the context of hundreds of genes/proteins would be a major advance for basic and translational research. The technologies/tools created would be expected to affect the fields of neurology, psychiatry, and neuroscience by enriching existing resources as well as those in development. The new tools should enable discovery science related to the synapse by providing for substantially greater sensitivity, selectivity, spatiotemporal resolution and markedly decreased costs compared to currently available technologies. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to diversify and extend the scope and capabilities of currently funded NIGMS R01 and R37 projects for studies on macromolecular interactions and their relationship to function in cells. This FOA solicits competitive revisions (formerly called &amp;quot;competing supplements&amp;quot;) of currently funded NIGMS grants specializing in the analysis of molecular systems and mechanisms in live organelles, cells, tissues, or organisms. Applicants may increase their budgets to extend the scientific scope of their projects or to add new approaches that enhance their capabilities for research on macromolecular interactions in cells. Collaboration is not a requirement of this initiative, but applicants may request support for collaboration (including subcontracts) with investigators who have complementary expertise Support for access of modestly funded laboratories to experimental approaches and research objectives that are otherwise financially out of reach is one priority of this FOA. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications for Phased Innovation (R21/R33) projects to determine whether reductions in illicit drug use are associated with positive changes in health-related and other functional outcomes in individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs). Functional outcomes include, for example, reductions in morbidity, mortality, criminal justice involvement, overall healthcare expenditures. This FOA provides support for up to two years (R21 phase) for research planning activities and feasibility studies, followed by possible transition to expanded research support (R33 phase). The transition to the R33 phase will be determined by NIH program evaluation of successful achievement of the milestones set for the R21 phase. The ultimate goal of this FOA is to provide evidence that will enable regulatory authorities to accept reductions in illicit drug use as a valid outcome measure in clinical trials of pharmacotherapies for the treatment of SUDs.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to build research infrastructure to promote external collaboration with the medical rehabilitation community. The aim of this FOA is to create a national network of research cores that provide access to collateral expertise in biomedical, behavioral, engineering, and/or psychosocial fields that is particularly relevant to medical rehabilitation research. We are particularly interested in supporting infrastructure programs in clinical trial design, engineering and the environment, individualized medical rehabilitation and dynamic reassessment, and applied behavioral supports for rehabilitation research and healthy outcomes. However, other areas of expertise may be proposed provided they offer unique research opportunities and have potential for promoting medical rehabilitation research and improving outcomes for people with disabilities. In response to this FOA, applicants should propose a program of research resources and collaborative opportunities in a specific research domain. This may be accomplished through a workshops, written material, and websites, consultations, collaborations, and pilot funding. In addition, the research core may support activities within the grantee institution related to technique development, adaptation, and validation. To accomplish the aims of the FOA, applicants may propose collaborations to other institutional sites, provided that they cover the appropriate administrative and logistical issues.</Description>

        <Description>DARPA seeks to transform the energy efficiency of unattended sensors through elimination or substantial reduction of the stand-by power consumed by the sensors while they await a signature of interest. The improved energy efficiency is expected to result in an increase in the sensor mission lifetime from months to years. The Near Zero Power RF and Sensor Operations (N-ZERO) program aims to create intelligent sensors that can process and detect RF and physical sensor signatures, consume less than 10 nW of power, and attain a low false alarm rate of 1 per hour or better in an urban environment.

This cooperative agreement (CA) is for a multi-phased program that provides uniquely American cultural presentations (primarily, but not limited to music) to audiences in Saudi Arabia. Touring performers are often likened to ambassadors of culture and are vital players in cultural diplomacy. The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh plans to host four separate events during the year that highlight various forms of American music and cultural activities. Each event will generally involve performances in Riyadh and in the Consulates in Jeddah and Dhahran. The successful awardee will be expected to work closely and cooperatively with the U.S. Department of State, specifically the Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh in the execution of this agreement. Performers chosen will also be expected to conduct workshops and interact with local counterparts during their visit. The chosen organization will work in collaboration with Embassy Public Affairs Officers to create a program that is appropriate to the local environment. The organization will provide a slate of available program options from which PAS can select performers that are consistent with the Embassy&amp;#146;s public outreach objectives in Saudi Arabia. Overall grant making authority for this program is contained in the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961, P.L. 87-256. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The PAS seeks a partner to implement the project titled &amp;quot;2015 Performing Arts Programming in Saudi Arabia.&amp;quot; The awardee will carry out the following activities: Recruit four separate performing arts groups to include bands, comedians, dramatic presentations, poetry or dance that reflect the American cultural landscape. These groups will be programmed by Embassy officers for performances, masters classes, and other outreach activities in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dhahran, and other locales throughout the Kingdom. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH ACTIVITY &amp;#149; Each component within the grant will have a separate budget that can be monitored and adjusted as needed. &amp;#149; Participants in the agreed upon programs must commit to engaging with Saudi audiences in workshops and other outreach activities as determined by Embassy Public Affairs Officers. &amp;#149; Recipient of grant will be responsible for managing the fiscal and logistical details of the programs. ADDITIONAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The recipient will be required to submit quarterly progress and financial reports to the PAS point of contact. The progress reports will include a summary of activities carried out and milestones reached during the reporting period. The recipient will be required to submit financial status and final reports on each segment of the program within one month after the performances are completed, and submit final reports for the total program at the time specified in this RFGP and in the Notice of Award. TECHNICAL EXPERTISE REQUIREMENTS In evaluating proposals, equal weight will be given to the technical strength of the proposal and the past performance of the applicant. Applications should address how the applicant will carry out each of the activities enumerated in this statement of work. Proposals should also include the following information: &amp;#149; Qualifications and experience of project participants. Include CVs of proposed principal project staff. &amp;#149; Describe past projects that demonstrate the applicant&amp;apos;s capacity to carry out this project successfully. PROJECT DURATION: 12 months. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Non-federal agencies and organizations, and not-for-profit organizations subject to Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code are eligible to apply.

        <Description>This ROSES-2014 NRA (NNH14ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#146;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat, and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES-2014 NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES-2014 NRA. Table 2, organized by due date, can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table2 and Table 3, organized by subject area can be found at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2014table3. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2015, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES-2014 NRA will be available at:http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2014 Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

Eligible entities may include, but are not limited to, public and private institutions for higher education, public or private health research organizations, foundations, tribes and tribal organizations, and faith-based entities.   Applicants must have significant experience with quickly responding to requests for rural data analysis.  Due to the rapid nature of policy development and the needs for data in short periods of time, the turnaround time for the data analyses may be as short as one or two days.  Past experience must include rural-specific analyses.  Many data sets do not explicitly separate data between rural and urban, or use definitions of rural that may not correspond to the definition needed for a particular analysis.  Therefore, it is important that applicants have the ability to manipulate or reorganize data sets to accommodate rural-specific analyses.     </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>In 2005, under PEPFAR, the Ministry of Health and Population (MSPP) in Haiti entered into a cooperative agreement with CDC to strengthen HIV prevention, diagnosis, care, treatment, monitoring, and surveillance in Haiti. That agreement established a funding mechanism to improve MSPP&amp;#8217;s capacity to lead and manage a sustainable country-led response to the HIV epidemic. Initial resources focused on capacity for delivery of HIV/AIDS services among a network of publicly managed high volume sites. In 2012, a Partnership Framework was developed; the agreement addressed the need for national governments to increasingly assume primary strategic and financial responsibility over the long-term. In response, resources were progressively increased for MSPP to reinforce governance and regulatory capacity both at its central and departmental levels. Subsequently, an important health system strengthening component was added, enabling the Ministry to take on a more prominent role in terms of norms and standards definition, policy planning and implementation, coordination, and regulation of activities spread throughout the 10 geographic departments of Haiti. During the first two funding agreements with MSPP, HIV prevention, care and treatment activities have been broadly implemented throughout the country and Ministry capacity for surveillance and the use of strategic information (SI) has markedly improved. MSPP, together with partners, has achieved the following: in 2012, Haiti adopted the &amp;#8220;B+ option&amp;#8221; that provides all HIV-infected pregnant and breastfeeding women with lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) regardless of CD4 count, from 2010 to 2013, HIV-testing of pregnant women has increased from 128,540 to 223,626 and the proportion of identified HIV-infected pregnant women that received prophylaxis or ART increased from 61% to 92%. Haiti has continually updated guidelines for ART. According to UNAIDS estimates, ART coverage reached over 75% in 2013. The HIV epidemic in Haiti has stabilized; prevalence has fallen from ~ 6% in the 1990s and has been stable at 2% since 2007. Since ART availability has expanded, the stable prevalence reflects likely reductions in HIV transmission. Because health services in Haiti have been provided by a mix of government and non-government entities, there have not been clearly defined levels of care or well defined linkages between different health care facilities. Through a pilot program aimed at establishing referral networks, services have been mapped, services at referral facilities have been strengthened, and referral practices have been supported. Haiti has established sophisticated systems to conduct HIV surveillance, monitor patients with HIV, and track delivery of program services. After the January 2010 earthquake resulted in the destruction of key infrastructure and loss of key personnel, the objectives of the agreement with MSPP were expanded to address additional health threats such as tuberculosis (TB), cholera, malaria, lymphatic filariasis (LF), and malnutrition. Surveillance, laboratory, and epidemiologic capacity have all been expanded, capacity to diagnose and treat cholera expanded, two rounds of mass drug administration (MDA) for LF have been conducted, new guidelines for TB and malaria diagnosis have been implemented, and obstetric care capacity has been completed at 19 facilities. The National Public Health Laboratory (LNSP) has successfully expanded CD4 coverage to all 10 departments, established laboratory-based surveillance for several enteric diseases, significantly improved TB diagnostic capacity, and decentralized many activities through support of two regional facilities (one in the north, and one in the south). All activities focus on expanding capacity within MSPP; program planning; leadership and management; monitoring and evaluation (M&amp;amp;E); decentralization of health services, including laboratory capacity; integration of services; use of data for decision making; community planning; quality improvement, quality assurance and quality control; human resource planning and management; and surveillance. MSPP now supports more than 50 sub-grantees, including: MSPP central offices, departmental offices, health institutions, and 1 training school. This FOA supports PEPFAR goals, including reducing new HIV infections, ensuring high quality care and treatment for persons with and affected by HIV, and improving laboratory capacity. Activities are directly aligned with the HIV/AIDS strategy of the Government of Haiti (GOH), which focuses on the same program goals and on increasing the GOH&amp;#8217;s capacity to lead and manage a sustainable response to the HIV epidemic. Non-HIV activities align with MSPP&amp;#8217;s overall Strategic Plan. This FOA builds on past efforts to strengthen the capacity of the government of Haiti to respond to HIV/AIDS and other health threats with increasing success. These efforts reflect the very top priority of CDC program activities both past and present.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces its interest in receiving applications in Computational Materials Sciences proposing integrated, multidisciplinary teams that will develop validated community codes and data bases for predictive design of functional materials, excluding structural materials. Computational Materials Sciences Teams could also involve new approaches to enhance the use of large data sets derived from advanced characterization of materials, materials synthesis, processing, and properties assessments and the parallel data that are generated by large scale computational efforts that model materials phenomena. Computational Materials Sciences will support the Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness (MGI) that was announced by the President in June 2011. The goal of the MGI is to reduce the time from discovery to deployment of new materials by a factor of two and is tied to advancement of American manufacturing capability.

The State of Wisconsin, the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, the United States Department of the Interior (represented by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs) and the United States Department of Commerce (represented by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) (collectively, the Trustees) have worked together, in a cooperative process, to determine what is necessary to address natural resource injuries caused by past releases of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into the Lower Fox River and Green Bay assessment area. Natural resource damages received, either through negotiated or adjudicated settlements, must be used to restore, rehabilitate, replace and or acquire the equivalent of those natural resources that have been injured. Specifically, the Grant recipient will acquire 198 acres to complete the northeast corner of the Fox River National Wildlife Refuge, protect the northern boundary of Muir Park State Natural Area and John Muir Memorial Park, and permanently protect 38 acres of the original John Muir family farm. This is a notice of intent to award a single source grant to The Natural Heritage Land Trust under justification 505DM 2.14B 4 without competition. Competition for the grant is not feasible due to the fact that The Natural Heritage Land Trust has negotiated an offer to purchase with the willing seller to preserve wetland and associated upland habitat within Marquette County, Wisconsin.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are public and private universities, colleges, and medical residency programs that have or are affiliated with programs for medical students, pharmacists, dentists, physician assistants, nursing, social work, and/or counseling.     SAMHSA seeks to further expand the impact of the SBIRT training program across the nation and to a variety of academic institutions; therefore, current SBIRT grantees awarded under the SBIRT Medical Professional Training Program (TI-13-003) and past SBIRT grantees awarded under the SBIRT Medical Residency Program (TI-08-003) are not eligible to apply.      Eligibility is restricted to these entities because they train health professions students who are most likely to implement SBIRT services to persons at risk of substance use disorders.  These programs have the capacity and structure to train health care personnel in delivering SBIRT services to clients across the range of medical services provision. SAMHSA believes that these entities have the necessary expertise and teaching structure to best provide training of these health care professions students in delivering SBIRT clinical services.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Health Professions Student Training (SBIRT- Student Training) grants. The purpose of this program is to develop and implement training programs to teach students in health professions (physician assistants, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, counselors, and medical students and residents) the skills necessary to provide evidence-based screening and brief intervention and refer patients who are at risk for a substance use disorder (SUD) to appropriate treatment. Additionally, the training will develop the leadership skills needed in order to champion the implementation of SBIRT throughout the United States healthcare system with the ultimate goal of helping clients avoid substance use disorders. The specialty substance use treatment system is often not appropriate, or is unavailable, to those who are at risk for SUD. Therefore, the intended outcomes of this program are to increase the adoption and practice of SBIRT throughout the health care delivery system with the ultimate goal of helping clients avoid substance use disorders. SAMHSA expects that SBIRT will be a component of the education curriculum for the identified programs in each academic year for the duration of the grant and an ongoing element of the academic curriculum post-grant award. A key aspect of SBIRT is the integration and coordination of screening and treatment components into a system of services. This system links a community&amp;apos;s specialized treatment programs with a network of early intervention and referral activities that are conducted during health care delivery. As shown by data collected from SBIRT cross-site evaluations (SBIRT Cohort I Cross-Site Evaluation Final Report, 2010), the vast majority of SBIRT service providers are health professionals such as physician assistants, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers and counselors. While some physicians deliver SBIRT, physicians also often lead the effort through clinical work, advocacy, and supervising SBIRT service providers in medical settings.&amp;quot; This program will address workforce development by increasing the number of health care professionals who can address the needs of persons at risk for SUD. The training also promotes the emphasis from the Affordable Care Act of a multi-disciplinary team approach to the integration of behavioral health into medical health care systems. The SBIRT Health Professions Student Training program supports the SAMHSA Healthcare and Health Systems Integration as well as Workforce Development Strategic Initiatives. The SBIRT Health Professions Student Training program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix G &amp;#150; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) The SBIRT-Health Professions Student Training grants are authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding announcement is to rigorously evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of concussion education and awareness programs that use CDC Heads Up training, toolkits, and other materials within local youth sports organizations (leagues, clubs) or high school sports. The primary benefit of the evaluation is to understand how local programs are implementing concussion education and awareness programs, and determining the impact of those programs, so that sports organizations and schools can make local improvements. A secondary purpose is to evaluate whether rule and practice changes in sports can complement the effects of education and awareness efforts.</Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Treatment Drug Courts. The purpose of this program is to expand and/or enhance substance abuse treatment services in existing adult and family &amp;#147;problem solving&amp;#148; courts, which use the treatment drug court model in order to provide alcohol and drug treatment (including recovery support services supporting substance abuse treatment, screening, assessment, case management, and program coordination as well as family-focused services in the case of Family Treatment Drug Courts) to defendants/offenders. Grantees will be expected to provide a coordinated, multi-system approach designed to combine the sanctioning power of treatment drug courts with effective treatment services to break the cycle of criminal behavior, child abuse and neglect, alcohol and/or drug use, and incarceration or other penalties. Grants funds must be used to serve people diagnosed with a substance use disorder as their primary condition, particularly high risk/high need populations diagnosed with substance dependence or addiction to alcohol/other drugs and identified as needing immediate treatment. Grant funds must be used to address gaps in the continuum of treatment for those individuals in these drug courts who have substance abuse and/or co-occurring disorders treatment needs. Grant funds may be used to provide services for co-morbid conditions, such as mental health problems, as long as expenditures remain consistent with the drug court model which is designed to serve individuals needing treatment for substance dependence or addiction to alcohol/other drugs. SAMHSA will use discretion in allocating funding for these awards, taking into consideration the specific drug court models (adult and family treatment drug courts) as appropriate, and the number of applications received per model type. Eligible drug courts must be operational on or before September 1, 2015. Operational is defined as a having a set of cases and seeing clients in the drug court. By signing the cover page (SF-424) of the application, the authorized representative of the applicant organization is certifying that the drug court(s) applying for funds or receiving funds as part of this grant are currently or will be operational on or before September 1, 2015. NOTE: SAMHSA/CSAT, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), is also offering a grant opportunity for adult drug courts titled &amp;#147;Enhancing Adult Drug Court Services, Coordination, and Treatment FY 2015 Competitive Grant Announcement.&amp;#148; The purpose of the joint initiative is for applicants to submit one comprehensive strategy for enhancing drug court coordination, services, and treatment capacity, which allows applicants to compete for two grants (one from BJA and one from SAMHSA) with one application. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement seeks to develop transformational technologies for CO2 capture and purification at the lab scale, Technology Readiness Level TRL 3-4, through bench scale, TRL 5, for PC and IGCC power plants, and the transfer and or creation of solutions for coal-relevant, low concentration CO2 sources in the range of 1-5 percent CO2 that will expand the application of CO2 capture to more challenging, yet significant, sources of CO2. The overall technical goal is to advance CO2 capture and separation systems beyond 2nd Generation economic performance predictions. Applications are sought for transformational technologies, which are defined as those that make progress towards meeting overall fossil energy performance goals of 90 percent CO2 capture rate with 95 percent CO2 purity at a cost of electricity 30 percent less than baseline capture approaches. Solutions proposed are expected to overcome limitations of singular, standard gas treatment systems, such as those based on solvents, sorbents or membranes alone. Hybrid systems, intensified processes and novel capture concepts are highly encouraged.</Description>

        <Description>The Support for Adam Walsh Act (AWA) Implementation Grant Program assists jurisdictions with developing and/or enhancing programs designed to implement requirements of SORNA. In summary, SORNA requires: (1) all States, the District of Columbia, the principal U.S. territories, and participating federally recognized Indian tribes to maintain a sex offender registry; and (2) sex offenders to register and maintain a current registration in each jurisdiction where the offender resides, is an employee, or is a student. SORNA also sets forth requirements for sex offender registries, to include: specified required information, duration of registration, and in-person verification of sex offender identity as well as participation in the National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW), and the utilization of the SORNA Exchange Portal. For more specific information about compliance with SORNA and access to the National Guidelines and Supplemental Guidelines on Sex Offender Registration and Notification, please visit www.smart.gov/sorna_tools.htm#sornaguidelines. For information and resources on SORNA, visit www.smart.gov. Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables The SMART Office is interested in proposals that facilitate, enhance and maintain jurisdictional implementation of SORNA. For jurisdictions that have not yet substantially implemented SORNA, applicants must explain how the proposed project will bring the jurisdiction closer to implementation. Discussion of a jurisdiction&amp;#146;s planned activities should include information regarding the jurisdiction&amp;#146;s SORNA implementation working group. The working group plan should include a list of the working group members and their responsibility regarding SORNA implementation. It is expected that successful grantees will report on their jurisdiction&amp;#146;s working group meetings in their quarterly progress reports. This requirement does not apply to jurisdictions that have already been found to be substantially implementing SORNA. For those jurisdictions that have already substantially implemented, the application must explain how the proposed project will either support continued compliance with SORNA or enhance their registration/notification program. In developing and/or enhancing efforts or programs designed to implement or maintain compliance with SORNA, applicants may propose specific strategies and projects including, but not limited to, the following examples: Examples of strategies and projects to develop or enhance jurisdiction-wide SORNA implementation programs or functions: All applicants: &amp;#149; Enhancing infrastructure to assist implementation of SORNA, such as for the collection, storage, submission or analysis of sex offender biometric data (finger and palm prints) and DNA. See budget information on page 6 including referenced footnote for more information. &amp;#149; Developing or enhancing law enforcement and other criminal justice agency information sharing at the jurisdiction level as well as between and among jurisdiction level agencies and local level agencies. &amp;#149; Implementing records management projects, such as converting documents to digital format as required by SORNA. &amp;#149; Providing support for coordinated interagency efforts to enhance implementation of SORNA requirements. &amp;#149; Developing and implementing training for law enforcement and other criminal justice agency personnel responsible for sex offender registration, notification, monitoring, or management, &amp;#149; Enhancing address verification tactics, collaborating with other jurisdictions and agencies on absconder investigations, and expanding community education and prevention programs related to sex offender registration, notification, or management. Tribal applicants: &amp;#149; Tribes that have elected to carry out the requirements of SORNA are encouraged to apply for funding to support SORNA implementation activities carried out by a consortium of tribes that have elected to implement SORNA. Several tribes may choose to form a consortium to share resources (e.g., hardware, digital fingerprint equipment, kiosks; joint staff or shared registry office space; , share a public website; or collaborate on enforcement activities or other facilities used for registration. An application to fund such a collaborative approach or project must include supporting documentation, such as an interagency agreement, a memorandum of understanding, or a letter of cooperation, which demonstrates the collaborative endeavor from each member jurisdiction of the consortium. &amp;#149; Tribes that have been found to have substantially implemented SORNA may apply for funding to create and improve sustainment strategies, including but not limited to developing community education programs on sex offender topics or collaborations with intra&amp;#150;tribal organizations including victim service agencies, courts, probation, schools and other entities. An application to fund such a collaborative approach or project must include supporting documentation from the included tribal organizations detailing how the collaboration will be effectuated. The application should also detail how such strategies will sustain and support the tribe&amp;#146;s sex offender registration and notification program. &amp;#149; Tribes that have been found to have substantially implemented SORNA may apply for funding to develop or enhance their inter-jurisdictional cooperation, including but not limited to information-sharing infrastructure improvement. States, Territories and the District of Columbia: &amp;#149; According to the SORNA national guidelines, jurisdictions may carry out sex offender registration and notification functions through their political subdivisions, to include units of local government. Previous state recipients of AWA Implementation grants that have delegated sex offender registration and notification functions to political subdivisions are encouraged to include support for local units of government in their project activities. &amp;#149; States may apply to support efforts of local or state units of government (including P.L. 280 tribes) to develop or enhance their sex offender registration and notification functions as they pertain to tribal nations that have been delegated to the state for the purpose of substantial implementation of SORNA. &amp;#149; State jurisdictions that include P.L. 280 tribes are encouraged to design projects that address SORNA implementation as it relates to these tribes. &amp;#149; State jurisdictions that have Tribal SORNA Jurisdictions within their borders may apply for funding to enhance their collaboration with SORNA tribes including but not limited to enhancing information sharing such as tribal access to data input into NCIC/NSOR . An application to fund such a collaborative approach or project must include supporting documentation, such as an interagency agreement, a memorandum of understanding, or a letter of cooperation, which demonstrates the collaborative endeavor from each member jurisdiction involved in the collaboration. Additional Information Required State and territory applicants that are eligible to receive Byrne/JAG reallocation funding should describe how the project complements the work that the jurisdiction plans to perform with that reallocation funding. Applicants should ensure that the project involves activities that are separate from or complement the tasks being performed with the SORNA reallocation funding, so as to avoid receiving duplicate funds for the same activity. </Description>

        <Description>In 1988, Congress passed the African Elephant Conservation Act in response to the alarming decline of African elephant populations. The Act provides for the establishment of the African Elephant Conservation Fund to provide financial assistance to support projects that will enhance sustainable conservation programs to ensure effective, long-term conservation of African elephants. This is a notice of intent to award a grant without competition to an individual recipient. The recipient is being engaged to conduct an economic analysis of the value of wildlife trophy hunting in Tanzania that can be used to better understand the importance and the economic value of the sector in relation to overall Tanzania Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This consultancy is being awarded in response to a specific request for assistance from Tanzania&amp;apos;s Wildlife Division and the Ministry of Tourism, and USAID-Tanzania. Because elephants were, until recently, sport-hunted by American clients in Tanzania, the results have direct relevance to elephant conservation. In this phase of the project, the consultant will work with the Wildlife Division to collect information on revenue collected on the game reserves and concessions operated in Tanzania, and will analyze these with respect to other African countries where similar data have been collected in order to assess the value of the sector and its performance relative to other hunting countries. Future phases will include analyzing various scenarios to determine the impact that various policy or fee changes would have on the profitability and the sustainability of the sector. As outlined in 505 DM 2, the recipient meets the following criteria: Unsolicited proposal: the proposed award is the result of an unsolicited application that represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach that is not the subject of a current or planned award, but is found to be advantageous to program objectives; and Unique qualifications: the applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based on a variety of demonstrable factors such as location; property ownership; voluntary support capacity; cost-sharing ability, if applicable; technical expertise; or other such unique qualifications. The recipient is uniquely qualified to do this assignment because he conducted previous assessments in Tanzania in the past, has published several widely respected papers on the topic, and in recent months he has conducted similar assessments in other African countries. He therefore has a wealth of experience, knowledge, and data that make him the most qualified individual to complete this task in an efficient, timely manner and to yield results that can be directly compared to results from other countries.</Description>

        <Description>At yearend 2013, an estimated 4,751,400 adults were under supervision in the community either on probation or parole&amp;#151;the equivalent of about 1 out of every 51 adults in the United States. Many people on supervision do not successfully complete their community supervision.1 According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the incarceration rates increased in the past year for both probationers and parolees who left supervised status in 2013 due to a new offense or revocation. State-level data from BJA&amp;#146;s Justice Reinvestment Initiative indicate that in some states, probation and parole revocations account for up to 65 percent of prison and jail admissions annually. These failure rates are a key reason prison populations remain high. The FY 2015 Smart Supervision Program (SSP) seeks to improve probation and parole success rates and reduce crime committed by those under probation and parole supervision, which would in turn reduce admissions to prisons and jails and save taxpayer dollars. Funds can be used either to implement evidence-based supervision strategies or to innovate new strategies to improve outcomes for supervisees.</Description>

        <Description>The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Cutting-Edge Basic Research Award (CEBRA) is designed to foster highly innovative or conceptually creative research related to drug abuse and addiction and how to prevent and treat them. It supports research that is high-risk and potentially high-impact that is underrepresented or not included in NIDA&amp;apos;s current portfolio. The proposed research should: (1) test a highly novel and significant hypothesis for which there are scant precedent or preliminary data and which, if confirmed, would have a substantial impact on current thinking; and/or (2) develop or adapt innovative techniques or methods for addiction research, or that have promising future applicability to drug abuse research. </Description>

        <Description>The Smart Prosecution Initiative, administered by BJA, is part of BJA&amp;#146;s &amp;#147;Smart Suite&amp;#148; of crime fighting programs including Smart Policing, Smart Probation, and Smart Pretrial. Funding for this initiative is anticipated through the FY 2015 appropriation. BJA established the &amp;#147;smart suite&amp;#148; over five years ago with the creation of the Smart Policing Initiative. The smart suite supports criminal justice professionals in building evidence-based, data-driven criminal justice strategies that are effective, efficient, and economical. BJA&amp;#146;s smart programs represent a strategic approach that brings more &amp;#147;science&amp;#148; into criminal justice operations by leveraging innovative applications of analysis, technology, and evidence-based practices. Historically, prosecutors have worked tirelessly to address criminal justice problems in their community. In recent years they have recognized a need to adopt innovative strategies and to engage in data-driven decision making to proactively contribute to crime prevention and response. They also recognize the effectiveness of collaborating with other criminal justice partners, stakeholders and the community to reduce violent crime and achieve safer communities. The Smart Prosecution model builds off of the lessons learned from BJA&amp;#146;s other smart suite programs and seeks to pair action researchers with prosecutor offices to develop solutions&amp;#151;such as &amp;#147;hot spot&amp;#148; strategies, sophisticated crime analysis, offender-based policies, and risk and needs assessment&amp;#151;that create prosecution strategies in an effort to break down information silos, advance communities, improve public trust and confidence in the justice system, and increase public safety. Smart Prosecution seeks to act as a catalyst, promoting criminal justice and non-criminal justice information sharing to improve results for communities. Lessons learned from Smart Prosecution will develop a rich body of evidence for use by prosecutors nationally as they seek to work with communities and the police to solve chronic problems and fight violent crime.</Description>

        <EligibleApplicants>25</EligibleApplicants>
        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are:  1) State and Territorial governments: Title V Agencies in states that have completed a Project LAUNCH grant, or will complete the grant by September 30, 2015. See Appendix II of the RFA for a listing of eligible applicants.   2) Federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes and tribal organizations that have completed a Project LAUNCH grant, or will complete the grant by September 30, 2015.  See Appendix II of the RFA for a listing of eligible applicants.     Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities.      Eligibility is limited to State Title V Agencies, in states who have completed or will complete a Project LAUNCH grant by the end of FY 2015, since these are the agencies that received the initial Project LAUNCH grants.  Project LAUNCH Expansion grants will build on the knowledge, expertise and experience acquired in the first Project LAUNCH grant in order to take practices and systems changes to scale by expanding  these practices to other communities within the state/tribe (or to additional tribes). The Project LAUNCH Expansion grants will provide states and tribes the opportunity for broader dissemination of these innovative practices and policies that will lead to better outcomes for young children and families. In addition, the Title V agency was the convener of the original LAUNCH Council, and will be well-positioned to continue the work of increasing cross-agency and public-private partnerships through the Expansion grant.  State Title V agencies should partner with the lead children&amp;#146;s mental health agency as this grant opportunity is focused on public health, maternal and child health, and children&amp;#146;s mental health, and integration of efforts across these agencies is central to the success of these Expansion efforts.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services, is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Cooperative Agreements for Project LAUNCH State/Tribal Expansion. The purpose of this program is to expand the implementation of Project LAUNCH systems improvement and wellness promotion/ prevention services into new communities within states and tribes that have completed a Project LAUNCH five-year grant. The goals of this expansion grant are to improve early childhood systems, strengthen parenting competencies, and improve children&amp;#146;s developmental and behavioral outcomes in more communities. Project LAUNCH is a national initiative that began in 2008 and has funded a total of 55 sites, including states, tribes, territories, communities, and the District of Columbia. The purpose of the Project LAUNCH initiative is to promote the wellness of young children from birth to 8 years of age by addressing the physical, social, emotional, cognitive and behavioral aspects of their development. Project LAUNCH pays particular attention to the social and emotional development of young children, and works to ensure that the systems that serve young children (including early child care and education, home visiting, and primary care) are equipped to promote and monitor social and emotional development, and intervene to prevent mental, emotional and behavioral disorders in early childhood and into the early elementary grades. The purpose of the Project LAUNCH Expansion grants is for states and tribes that have implemented innovative practices and systems changes in one pilot community through an &amp;#147;original&amp;#148; Project LAUNCH grant to expand these practices to other communities within the state/tribe (or to additional tribes). Lessons learned from the first 6 years of the initiative suggest that while states can bring about positive changes, and improve child outcomes in a pilot community during the course of an original LAUNCH grant, additional time is needed to replicate and spread these practices beyond the pilot community. The Project LAUNCH Expansion grants will provide states and tribes the opportunity for broader dissemination of these innovative practices and policies that will lead to better outcomes for young children and families. Consistent with SAMHSA&amp;#146;s Theory of Change, this program builds on previous LAUNCH efforts and aims to expand best practices in early childhood wellness promotion and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders into new communities, thereby furthering implementation of the effective practices. The Project LAUNCH Expansion grant opportunity closely aligns with SAMHSA&amp;apos;s Strategic Initiatives on Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness and Trauma and Justice. This grant program aims to focus resources on communities, families and children who are at high risk for experiencing trauma, or who have already experienced trauma, with a goal of promoting wellness, preventing mental, emotional and behavioral disorders, and supporting early detection and referral to treatment for children and family members experiencing behavioral health issues, including substance abuse. The Project LAUNCH Expansion grant program also seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix G &amp;#150; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) Project LAUNCH Expansion grants are authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD. </Description>

        <Description>The Contaminants of Emerging Concern project is part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative - Toxic Substances and Areas of Concern focus area. The objective of the project is to increase knowledge about contaminants in Great Lakes fish and wildlife by identifying emerging contaminants and assessing impacts on Great Lakes fish and wildlife. There is not an application process for this funding opportunity; this is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to St. Cloud State University (SCSU) Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory under justification 505DM 2.14B 2 and 4 without competition. Competition for the award is not practical as it is a continuation of the activities presently being conducted in cooperation with SCSU. This single source award to the St. Cloud State University (SCSU) to participate in the identification of priority CEC mixtures, conduct 14 day laboratory exposure studies, participate in developing watershed-wide model of CEC mixture occurrence and concentration, and develop data to be used in fish population modeling. The agreement is part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) and is supported by GLRI FY 2014 funding allocated to the Service by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency - Great Lakes National Program Office. This project is a continuation of the activities presently being conducted in cooperation with SCSU. Therefore, SCSU is uniquely qualified to continue complete the activities and it is necessary to have continuity for the satisfactory completion of the project. The funding instrument will be a Cooperative Agreement as substantial involvement on the part of the USFWS is required for the successful completion of the activities to be funded. In particular, the USFWS will be responsible for the following: working coordinating with project partners to identify source-representative CEC mixtures to utilize in laboratory exposure studies to be conducted by St. Cloud State University (SCSU), and work coordinating with project partners to develop a watershed-wide model of CEC mixture occurrence and concentrations.</Description>

        <Description>The United States Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is seeking innovative research and development of the key crosscutting technologies (sensors and controls, high performance materials, simulation based engineering, and water management research) to enable development of next generation advanced energy systems. These technologies will contribute to the goals of high efficiency, near-zero emissions, and effective carbon capture for the next generation energy systems. Innovations in these areas are being supported by NETLs Crosscutting Research Program which aims at bridging the gap between the basic sciences and applied research as it relates to Advanced Energy Systems that utilize domestic resources. Long range transitional type research is needed to support the identification and growth of novel concepts that will lead to scientific breakthroughs and early adoption of innovative concepts into applications for power generation. It is envisioned that the projects will involve multi-organizational teams with phased projects that consider, in part, the needs and interest of the fossil power generation community as a whole, as well as accelerating the development and deployment of crosscutting technologies.</Description>

        <Description>This is the first time PRM has issued a request for concept notes instead of full proposals and this solicitation is the first step in a two-part process. After reviewing concept notes, PRM will invite selected organizations to expand their submissions into full, 12 or 24 month proposals, with detailed budgets. Selected organizations will have 30 calendar days after they are notified of their selection to complete their full proposals. This announcement references PRM&amp;apos;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s General NGO Guidelines, which contain additional information on PRM&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s priorities and NGO funding strategy with which selected organizations must comply. Please use both the General NGO Guidelines and this announcement to ensure that your concept note submission is in full compliance with PRM requirements and that the proposed activities are in line with PRM&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s priorities. Concept note submissions that do not reflect the requirements outlined in these guidelines will not be considered. (a) Concept note activities should primarily support displaced Iraqi and Syrian populations in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, as well as Iraqi refugees in Syria; however, projects are encouraged to allow for support of other local refugee populations as well, including Palestinian refugees.

        <Description>This FOA is a program announcement with multiple receipt dates (Cycle 1 FY2015, Cycle 2 FY2016). The purpose of this announcement is to fund Youth Violence Prevention Centers (YVPCs) to advance the science and practice of youth violence prevention and to reduce youth violence in one or more geographically defined, high-burden communities by implementing and evaluating a community- or policy-level preventionstrategy or combination of such strategies. The YVPCs align with CDC&amp;#146;s Injury Center&amp;#146;s research priorities for youth violence prevention that include evaluating the effectiveness of community- and societal-level prevention approaches and evaluating the dissemination and implementation of effective youth violence prevention strategies, programs, and policies. The YVPCs are academic centers that are expected to engagein reciprocally beneficial collaborations among researchers and non-governmental and governmentalorganizations (including the local health department) and one or more defined high-burden communities, with the common goal of reducing youth interpersonal violence. A YVPC supported under this announcement must include 2 core features: 1) an administrative infrastructure to support implementation, evaluation, and dissemination activities; to foster necessary local collaborations to achieve research andprogram goals; and to work with other funded YVPCs as part of the Youth Violence Prevention Center Network; and 2) integrated implementation and evaluation activities of a community- or policy-level approach to preventing youth violence in a high-burden community or set of communities. It is anticipated that three YVPCs will be funded in FY2015 (Cycle 1), and the intent is to fund two additional YVPCs in FY2016 (Cycle 2) pending availability of funds.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) to provide HIV oral health services and education and training. These services target low-income, underserved people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The purpose of the DRP is to improve access to oral health care services for patients with HIV and to train dental and hygiene students and dental residents to deliver HIV/AIDS dental care. The DRP accomplishes this by defraying a portion of unreimbursed dental care costs for people living with HIV/AIDS incurred by accredited dental or dental hygiene education programs recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. This competition is open to accredited dental education institutions eligible to receive RWHAP Part F funding under section 2692(b)(1)(B) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act that have provided uncompensated or partially uncompensated oral health care to PLWHA from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) is committed to meeting the national goals and principles described below. As applicants complete their RWHAP Part F DRP proposal, they should consider how their program supports and helps to implement these goals and principles.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Government has a long history and extensive network of international collaboration and partnerships in the fight against HIV/AIDS, providing funding, technical assistance, and program support. These collaborations increase the fundamental understanding of HIV transmission and provide an evaluative basis for prevention and intervention success. The current HIV/AIDS epidemic is devastating. Militaries, in particular, have been identified as a high-risk population. In order to target this population, the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), San Diego, California, under the oversight of the Navy Surgeon General, has been tasked to serve as the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Executive Agent for the DoD HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP).DHAPP has successfully engaged over 80 countries in efforts to combat HIV/AIDS among their respective military services. DHAPP is a partner U. S. Government (USG) organization collaborating with the U.S. State Department, Health and Human Services, US Agency for International Development, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the President&amp;#146;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Working closely with U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Unified Combatant Commanders, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, university collaborators, and other nongovernmental organizations, DHAPP assists countries in establishing HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment programs and/or strengthening their capabilities to combat HIV. This BAA allows DHAPP to assist countries where militaries are not funded under PEPFAR. DHAPP&amp;apos;s goal is to maximize program impact by focusing on the drivers of the epidemic specific to the military, and to support the development of interventions and programs that address these issues. DHAPP works with countries&amp;#146; militaries to devise plans based on the following process:&amp;#149; Meet with key partners in country to determine provisional major program areas and other technical assistance needs. &amp;#149; Adapt DHAPP support to a country&amp;#146;s need for prevention, care and/or treatment of their HIV/AIDS situation based on an assessment of the country&amp;#146;s epidemic, and more specifically, in that country&amp;#146;s military. &amp;#149; Strengthen the military capacity for ownership and behavioral changes over the long term. &amp;#149; Consider program design by leveraging assets with other country partners who have/had successful prevention, care, and/or treatment efforts. &amp;#149; Focus on prevention, care and/or treatment impact aligned with national implementation plans. &amp;#149; Implement and monitor programs to ensure accountability and sustainability. Countries and their militaries need strong programs with courses of action that demonstrate: &amp;#149; Visible support from the military sector. &amp;#149; Development of plans of action and policies. &amp;#149; Alignment with PEPFAR, as well as national, strategies and priorities.&amp;#149; Increasing awareness within the military sector. &amp;#149; Country military ownership of its activities. &amp;#149; Prevention plans focusing on prevention of sexual transmission through voluntary counseling and testing, sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention and management, behavioral interventions, reduction of concurrent partnerships, prevention and care of opportunistic infections, male circumcision, changing male normative behaviors, and prevention campaigns. &amp;#149; Reduction of mother-to-child transmission, (The primary focus of these interventions is on behavior change to reduce the risks of sexual transmission, counseling, testing, diagnosis and proper linkages to care and support).&amp;#149; Stigma reduction associated with HIV infection. &amp;#149; Surveillance and infrastructure development through programs focusing on HIV/STI/tuberculosis surveillance, prevalence surveys, laboratory support, monitoring and evaluation, training and strategic information management.&amp;#149; Increasing capacity building.&amp;#149; Promoting sustainability by the partner country. The DoD HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP), based at the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) in San Diego, California, provides technical assistance, management, and administrative support of the global HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment for foreign militaries. DHAPP administers funding, conducts training, and provides technical assistance to participating militaries. In addition, DHAPP staff members serve on most of the PEPFAR Technical Working Groups and Core Teams through the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator. DHAPP provides HIV program execution and monitors outcomes, with staff that includes active duty military, civil service, and contract personnel. See attachment for full announcement</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this modification is to revise Full Application Due Date. The mission of the Solar Energy Technology Office?s Tech-to-Market sub-program is to enable the widespread market penetration of highly impactful solar technologies and solutions through technology research, development and demonstration to overcome technical, institutional and market challenges. Historically, annual funding opportunities have been separated by stage of technology development (Incubator, SolarMat, and SUNPATH). In the interest of optimizing the application and selection process, these funding opportunities have been combined into a single FOA, with the goal of bringing disruptive innovation to the solar industry in the near term that will take root in the U.S. The purpose of this funding program is to help remove barriers that are addressable by technology and business innovation. These solutions cover hardware innovation and manufacturing, software, cost-reductions throughout the value chain, and non-cost (capability) related solutions. These solutions are expected to aid in achieving a ubiquitous solar energy solution and provide a clear path for these highly impactful technologies and solutions to rapidly reach market success. This funding program seeks to fund for-profit entities to develop products and solutions which will further reduce the price of solar energy and de-risk the integration of solar energy to the electricity grid. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE Exchange website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE Exchange website. A User Guide for the EERE Exchange can be found on the EERE website https://eere- exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE Exchange website.</Description>

        <Description>BJS is publishing this notice to announce the continuation of the National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, identify the program priorities, and provide information on application requirements. The goal of the NCHIP grant program is to improve the nation&amp;#146;s safety and security by enhancing the quality, completeness, and accessibility of criminal history record information and by ensuring the nationwide implementation of criminal justice and noncriminal justice background check systems. Achieving this goal is contingent on accomplishing four objectives: &amp;#149; providing direct financial and technical assistance to states and tribes to improve their criminal records systems and other related systems in an effort to support background checks; &amp;#149; ensuring the infrastructure is developed to connect criminal history records systems to the state record repository or appropriate federal agency record system and ensuring records are accessible through the Federal Bureau of Investigation&amp;#146;s (FBI) records systems; &amp;#149; providing the training and technical assistance needed to ensure that records systems are developed and managed to conform to FBI standards, and appropriate technologies, while ensuring that contributing agencies adhere to the highest standards of practice with respect to privacy and confidentiality; and &amp;#149; using systematic evaluation and standardized performance measurement and statistics to assess progress made in improving national records holdings and background check systems. The NCHIP program serves as an umbrella for various record improvement activities and funding streams, each of which has unique goals and objectives. As a basic principle of this program, BJS strongly encourages states and tribes to ensure the integrated functioning of record improvement initiatives, regardless of the funding source. Also, BJS strongly encourages applicants to match or leverage the federal funds provided with other resources to the maximum extent possible. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Network Allied Health Training Program (Allied Health Training). The Rural Network Allied Health Training Program is a pilot program that will support the development of formal, mature[1] rural health networks that focus on activities that achieve efficiencies, expand access to, coordinate and improve the quality of essential health care services, and strengthen the rural health care system as a whole. In this project, it is anticipated that this purpose will be achieved through the recruitment, clinical training, and retention of allied health professionals. This program will further support integrated rural health networks that can partner with local community colleges and other accredited educational institutions (such as vocational and technical colleges) to develop formal clinical training programs. These formal training programs will target enrolled rural allied health professional students, to include displaced workers and veterans, in completing a rural, community-based clinical training rotation and obtaining eventual employment with a rural health care provider. Applicants will be required to focus their efforts to recruit, train, and retain allied health professionals from at least one of the following discipline categories[2] and associated discipline fields[3]: 1. clinicians &amp;#183; dental hygienists[4] 2. technologists and technicians &amp;#183; diagnostic imaging technologists (sonography, radiology, etc.) &amp;#183; medical/clinical laboratory technicians &amp;#183; paramedics[5] and community paramedics[6],[7] &amp;#183; pharmacy technicians &amp;#183; psychiatric/mental/behavioral health technicians 3. other allied health &amp;#183; physical therapy assistants &amp;#183; occupational therapy assistants The Allied Health Training program goals are as follows: 1. Improving the viability of the network partners by increasing recruitment and retention of allied health professionals within their rural communities and other non-network rural communities; 2. Providing allied health students with training opportunities and experiences within culturally competent, community focused rural hospitals/clinics, which will build and reinforce ties within these rural communities; 3. Establishing a replicable model network approach to training allied health students in rural areas; 4. Expanding the uptake of industry-validated credentials that are competency based, empowering job seekers and reducing barriers to hiring; and 5. Establishing partnerships between the network and community organizations that can serve as an ongoing vehicle for addressing workforce challenges. These networks can focus on a variety of different activities related to the recruitment, training, and retention of allied health professionals. [1] The definition of mature is located in the Other Information Section VIII.4. [2] The U.S. Health Workforce Chartbook. (2013). Rockville, MD: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, the National Center for Health Workforce Analysis. Available at: http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/healthworkforce/supplydemand/usworkforce/chartbook/index.html. [3] This list of allied health disciplines is not exhaustive. ORHP conducted an informal needs assessment to determine existing gaps for various allied health disciplines in rural areas and the key employment needs by rural health provider type. [4] Dental hygienists are generally not allowed to practice without a dentist on site. There may be a few state exceptions: https://www.adha.org/resources-docs/7513_Direct_Access_to_Care_from_DH.pdf. Applicants should verify and address this issue, if applicable, within the Needs Assessment of the Project Narrative Section IV.2.ii. [5] As based on the National Paramedic (NRP) Certification through the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians: https://www.nremt.org/. [6] Community paramedics are paramedics trained to provide more general medical services that address specific community needs: http://www.naemt.org/Libraries/Community%20Paramedicine/Urgent%20Matters-Innovations-What%20is%20CP%200513.sflb. [7] Applicants will be required to verify as a condition of award that community paramedicine is allowed by state scope of practice, statue and/or regulation, that there is an internationally standardized community paramedicine educational program provided by a local accredited college or university, and that there are available employment opportunities for community paramedics within rural parts of the state. Include this information in Attachment 15 for reviewers to accurately assess applicant need.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rapid Response Rural Data Analysis and Issue Specific Rural Research Studies program. The purpose of this program is to assist rural communities with conducting rapid data analyses and short term issue-specific rural research studies to understand the impact of current and proposed policies and regulations as well as provide information that will improve access to health care and population health in rural America. Due to the nature of rural policy analysis and formulation, rural organizations and health care providers often require timely information that is available only through specialized analysis of databases of information compiled by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), other Federal and State agencies, or private organizations. Most rural groups and individuals do not have the capacity to store the data sets, the staff expertise to refine and analyze the data nor the technology necessary to run statistical analyses. Findings from these analyses will be used to help inform rural health care providers and stakeholders such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Congress, states, and for-profit and nonprofit entities that set policies impacting rural communities.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Outreach Benefits Counseling Program (Benefits Counseling Program). The Benefits Counseling Program is a community-based pilot program targeted to improve outreach and service delivery in local and regional rural communities. The purpose of the three-year Benefits Counseling Program is to expand outreach, education and enrollment efforts to eligible uninsured individuals and families, and newly insured individuals and families in rural communities. For the purposes of this grant program, benefits counseling (outreach, education and enrollment efforts) will be limited to only public health insurance (Medicare, Medicaid and/or Children&amp;#191;s Health Insurance Program), qualified health plans offered through Health Insurance Marketplace and/or private health insurance plans. The overarching goals of this grant funding are to coordinate and conduct innovative outreach activities through a strong consortium in order to: 1) Identify and enroll uninsured individuals and families who are eligible for: public health insurance such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Children&amp;#191;s Health Insurance Program, qualified health plans offered through Health Insurance Marketplaces and/or private health insurance plans in rural communities; and 2) Educate the newly insured individuals in rural communities about their health insurance benefits, help connect them to primary care and preventive services to which they now have access, and help them retain their health insurance coverage. Proposed projects will have an outcomes-oriented approach that will enhance and sustain the delivery of effective benefits counseling in rural communities. Another important program element is the requirement of consortiums to deliver these benefits counseling services. Consortiums bring together rural providers, agencies and community organizations to address health care problems that are not easily solved by a single entity. The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) has found the most successful consortiums have the following common characteristics - involving all consortium members in the planning process and clearly defining roles for each consortium member. An effective benefits counseling project should be coordinated and leverage partnerships with organizations who share an interest in increasing outreach, enrollment and education of health insurance coverage. By leveraging these partnerships and other resources, an applicant can maximize federal funds by sharing administrative duties, referring clients/consumers to entities that have the capacity to enroll the uninsured or identifying opportunities to conduct joint outreach events. Activities funded under this grant will focus on conducting outreach and education in settings where eligible uninsured individuals and families may be identified and enrolled in health insurance coverage. Outreach can include internal/&amp;#191;in reach&amp;#191; efforts and/or external efforts. Internal/ &amp;#191;in reach&amp;#191; efforts focus on contacting and enrolling people who are already getting services at a health care provider entity and streamlining the administrative processes to build outreach into the staff&amp;#191;s daily work. External outreach focuses on proactively seeking out uninsured people in the community, helping them find health care coverage and connecting them to care at an appropriate health care provider entity. Both kinds of outreach are important. All projects should incorporate enrollment and renewal assistance into their proposed activities. This may include providing direct help to individuals/families seeking to enroll in health coverage or linking individuals/families with entities in the community who are trained to provide such application assistance. This grant will also support activities designed to educate the newly insured in how to utilize health insurance and help connect them to primary and preventive health care services. As health care increasingly moves toward a focus on enhancing value in health care delivery, applicants are encouraged to develop innovative and comprehensive approaches to improve health care coverage in their rural community. Applicants should think about how their proposed project addresses both goals of the Benefits Counseling Program and improves access for the large number of uninsured individuals and families in their community. The President&amp;#191;s Improve Rural Health Care Initiative continues to increase efficiency and assess the way rural programs are administered by focusing on building an evidence base to improve health care in rural communities. The Benefits Counseling Program will support projects that demonstrate creative and effective models of outreach and benefits counseling services in rural communities that have a large number of uninsured individuals and families. As a recipient of a Benefits Counseling Program award, organizations may be offered targeted technical assistance throughout the three years of the project period to assist in achieving the project&amp;#191;s desired outcomes and ensure program sustainability. This additional support is provided at no extra cost to grantees as this is an investment made by FORHP to contribute to the success of the grantee projects. FORHP has found that most grantees benefit greatly from the one-on-one support provided through this technical assistance. Additional information about targeted technical assistance will be provided to organizations after award.</Description>

        <Description>NIJ seeks proposals for research and evaluation on specific issues related to sexual violence, stalking, and teen dating violence. The issue areas for sexual violence research are the criminal justice response to particular underserved populations, the development and testing of instruments with diverse populations, and testing of innovative interventions aimed at improving initial criminal justice responses to victims of sexual violence. Priority areas for research on stalking are evaluating offender interventions specific to stalking behavior by current or former intimate partners, and law enforcement and prosecutorial actions regarding particular stalking issues. In the area of teen dating violence (i.e., adolescent relationship abuse), applications are sought for additional waves of data for existing longitudinal projects.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#146;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number NPS-NOIR# P15AC00143 Project Title National Park Service-2015 Yellowstone Urban Youth Project Recipient Groundwork USA Principle Investigator / Program Manager Joy Perius Total Anticipated Award Amount 61171 Cost Share None Required New Award or Continuation? Task award under terms and conditions established in umbrella Cooperative Agreement, P09AC00401 Anticipated Length of Agreement Through September 30, 2015 Anticipated Period of Performance Through September 30, 2015 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement P15AC00143 Statutory Authority 16 U.S.C. 1g/ 16 U.S.C 1723/ 16 U.S.C 1f CFDA # and Title 00.000, Agency is currently establishing Single Source Justification Criteria Cited #4 &amp;#150; Unique Qualifications NPS Point of Contact Tina Holland Page 1 OVERVIEW, RECIPIENT AND NPS SUBSTANTIAL INVOLVEMENT Public Purpose GWUSA and NPS/YNP staff will cooperatively work to improve public access to the frontcountry or backcountry areas of Yellowstone National Park. Projects will be selected from the following based on skill level and NPS priorities for summer 2015&amp;#151;maintaining and improving trails, removing brush, fence building or removal, painting/staining buildings, re-vegetation, native seed collection, etc. Participating in the project will provide meaningful life and work experience and training; land and resource stewardship education and appreciation; and technical, safety and teambuilding opportunities to American youth while serving and protecting one of the nation&amp;#146;s premier public resources. GWUSA crews will also learn about Yellowstone and receive a guided tour of the park. Substantial Involvement The NPS will provide the GWUSA Youth Director with a pre-project survey of the work site, and training, education, and orientation to work projects at YNP. Training will include such topics as trail skills and theory, agency risk-management, and current cultural and natural resource issues. The Youth Programs Office will supplement necessary tools and personal protective equipment that the crew cannot provide. NPS staff will provide project and park regulation direction, safety training, and onsite project leadership and oversight. Following the caveats of national Cooperator initiatives, direction from the Secretary of the Interior&amp;#146;s Office, and the NPS Director&amp;#146;s Call to Action, youth cooperative involvement is desired on federal work projects. The Yellowstone projects are well matched with this direction. NPS staff involvement is critical due to the dynamic nature of the project, their specifications, and the widely dispersed worksites in bear country. The GWUSA crew will bolster the NPS staff ranks, and reflexively the GWUSA crew will receive the required NPS staff project and park regulation direction, and onsite project leadership and oversight. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#150; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#150; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#150; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#146; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#150; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#150; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service awarded this task to the University of Wyoming based on the following exception. University of Wyoming is a member of the NPS CESU network. (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#150;The cooperator has a pre-existing shared successful project history with the National Park Service, as well as outstanding training and education of local youth in land stewardship, natural, cultural and resources. Excellent pre-program training so that youth are shovel-ready when they arrive at a park, with efficiency and safety at forefront. </Description>

        <Description>The Kyiv American Center Program will provide all staffing, resource materials, technology infrastructure, technical support and key program activities to administer the Kyiv American Center in Ukraine, which is one of approximately 700 American Spaces supported by the Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP) of the U.S. Department of State. American Spaces exemplify the U.S. commitment to a core tenet of democracy: the citizen&amp;#146;s right to free access to information. The American Center in Kyiv will support the foundation of public diplomacy by creating a place for in-person engagement with Ukrainian audiences. The Center will be a technology-forward, welcoming, and engaging environment where Embassy personnel, official visitors, and implementing partners connect with Ukrainians, especially young leaders and young professionals, to inspire dialogue on issues that matter most to U.S.-Ukraine relations. The recipient organization will be responsible for staffing and operating a new stand-alone American Center in downtown Kyiv. Key program activities under this cooperative agreement will include hiring local Ukrainian staff with expertise in program and event management to staff the center; purchasing all necessary technology, materials, and supplies to provide a basis for engagement with Ukrainian audiences; and designing a flexible and dynamic program of activities each month to interact with Ukrainian visitors to the center and encourage visitors to return regularly. Decisions on staffing and program content will be made in consultation with the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications that strengthen the science of multilevel effects of cancer care interventions by addressing the problem of incomplete follow-up to abnormal screening tests for breast, colorectal, cervical and lung cancers.The goals of this FOA are two-fold. First, this FOA seeks to advance the science of multilevel interventions in three ways: a) by establishing a common conceptualization of levels and the associated level-specific factors that affect practice; b) by standardizing metrics of the levels and their main effects on other levels and the individuals needing follow-up care; and c) by developing and standardizing the analysis of the effect of interventions on the individuals, groups, and organizations responsible for intervention implementation. Second, this FOA encourages applications that test interventions to improve the follow-up of abnormal screening in one or more ways, including: a) measuring multilevel effects of single-level interventions; b) comparing single vs. multilevel interventions; and c) testing multilevel interventions.</Description>

        <Description>A central goal of the BRAIN Initiative is to understand how electrical and chemical signals code information in neural circuits and give rise to sensations, thoughts, emotions and actions. Available technologies for recording and manipulating neural circuit activity in human and animal experiments are not sufficient to accomplish this goal. Non-invasive technologies are low resolution and/or provide indirect measures such as blood flow, which are imprecise. Invasive technologies can provide information at the level of single neurons producing the fundamental biophysical signals, but they can only be applied to tens or hundreds of neurons, out of a total number in the human brain estimated at 85 billion. Previous BRAIN FOAs sought to develop novel technology (RFA-NS-15-003) or to optimize existing technology ready for in-vivo proof-of-concept testing and collection of preliminary data (RFA-NS-15-004). This FOA seeks applications for technology at an even earlier stage of development. It seeks new and untested ideas that are in the very earliest stages. The support provided might enable calculations, simulations, computational models, or other mathematical approaches for demonstrating that the signal sources and/or measurement technologies are theoretically capable of meeting the demands of large-scale recording or manipulation of circuit activity. The support might also be used for building and testing phantoms, prototypes, in-vitro or other bench-top models in order to validate underlying theoretical assumptions in preparation for future FOAs aimed at testing in animal models. Invasive or non-invasive approaches are sought that will ultimately enable or reduce the current barriers to large-scale recording or manipulation of neural activity, and that would be compatible with experiments in humans or behaving animals. Applications are encouraged from any qualified individuals, including physicists, engineers, theoreticians, and scientists, especially those not typically involved with neuroscience research.</Description>

        <Description>On September 19, 2014, Congress passed the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2015 (Public Law No. 113-164) (the &amp;quot;FY 2015 Continuing Resolution&amp;quot;), which made continuing appropriations for Fiscal Year 2015 and provided such amounts as may be necessary, at a rate for Fiscal Year 2015 operations as provided in the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2014 (division L of Public Law No. 113-76, January 17, 2014) (&amp;quot;Full Year Appropriations Act, 2014&amp;quot;) and under the authority and conditions provided therein. The FY 2015 Continuing Resolution covers the period October 1, 2014 through December 11, 2014 or until the enactment into law of the applicable appropriations act for Fiscal Year 2015. The Full Year Appropriations Act, 2014 included funding for capital and debt service expenses associated with the operation of intercity passenger rail service and these expenses were correspondingly funded in the FY 2015 Continuing Resolution. As a result, the FY 2015 Continuing Resolution provided capital and debt service assistance funds for the October 1, 2014 - December 11, 2014 period totaling $205,029,026 (after factoring in authorized withholdings of $985,953 for expenses associated with implementing section 212 of division B of Public Law 110-432, including the amendments made by section 212 to section 24905 of title 49, United States Code and $1,035,251 for expenses relating to the costs of project management and oversight activities authorized by subsections 101(a) and 101(c) of division B of Public Law 110-432) of which not to exceed $39,240,948 shall be for the Grantees debt service payments and not less than $9,859,535 shall be for capital expenditures related to bringing facilities and stations that the Grantee serves into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and up to $7,887,628 may be used by the Secretary to subsidize operating losses of the Grantee should the funds provided for the Grantee&amp;apos;s operating grants be insufficient to meet operational costs for fiscal year 2015. On December 13, 2014, Congress passed the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub. L. No. 113-235, December 16, 2014), which made appropriations to various federal agencies for Fiscal Year 2015. Title I of Division K of the Consolidated and Further Appropriations Act, 2015 (the &amp;quot;DOT Appropriations Act, 2015&amp;quot;) made appropriations for Fiscal Year 2015 available to the Secretary providing an additional amount of $924,270, 974 thus bringing the total FY 2015 Capital, Debt Service and Americans with Disabilities Act funding to an amount of $1,129,300,000 (after factoring in authorized withholdings of $5,000,000 for expenses associated with implementing section 212 of division B of Public Law 110-432, including the amendments made by section 212 to section 24905 of title 49, United States Code and $5,700,000 for expenses relating to the costs of project management and oversight activities authorized by subsections 101(a) and 101(c) of division B of Public Law 110-432 (&amp;quot;PRIIA)) for capital investments as authorized by sections 101(c), 102 and 219(b) of PRIIA to remain available until expended, of which not to exceed $175,000,000 shall be for debt service obligations as authorized by section 102 of PRIIA and not less than $50,000,000 shall be made available to bring facilities and stations the Grantee serves into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and up to $50,000,000 may be used by the Secretary to subsidize operating losses of the Grantee should the funds provided for the Grantee&amp;apos;s operating grants be insufficient to meet operational costs for Fiscal Year 2015.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in assessing remedy effectiveness assessments at Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOCs). These AOCs suffer from a legacy of sediment contamination by legacy pollutants such as organic contaminants, mercury, and trace metals. Remediation of AOCs is managed through the US EPA Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO). Each AOC is listed for a defined set of Beneficial Use Impairments (BUIs) such as fish consumption advisories. In order for EPA to petition for delisting an AOC, all BUIs have to be removed, indicating that the AOC has recovered to some baseline, reference or pre-defined condition. GLNPO, under the Great Lakes Legacy Act, is responsible for managing and remediating AOCs in order to remove BUIs. However, many questions remain regarding the best ways to assess the effectiveness of remedies employed at AOCs and other large contaminated sediment sites.</Description>

        <Description>Issuance Date: 3 February, 2015RFA Clarification Questions Due: 19 February, 2015; 1600 Closing Date and Time for Application Submission: 12 March, 2015; 1600 Addis Ababa Local Time Subject: Request for Applications (RFA) Number: USAID-Ethiopia- RFA-663-15-000006 RFA Title: Social and Behavior Change Communication for Health (SBCC- Health Project) EthiopiaLadies and Gentlemen: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for Assistance Agreements from all U.S. and non-U.S. qualified organizations (other than those from foreign policy restricted countries) for funding to support a program entitled Social and Behavior Change Communication for Health (SBCC- Health Project) Ethiopia. The overall goal of the program is to build the capacity of Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) with regards to SBCC interventions while also developing effective messages and coordinating SBCC messaging across stakeholders. The authority for the RFA is found in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and the Grants and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977. While for-profit firms may participate, pursuant to 22 CFR 226.81, it is USAID policy not to award profit under assistance instruments such as cooperative agreements. However, all reasonable, allocable, and allowable expenses, both direct and indirect, which are related to the grant program and are in accordance with applicable cost standards (22 CFR 226, OMB Circular A-122 for non-profit organization, OMB Circular A-21 for universities, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 for-profit organizations), may be paid under the Cooperative Agreement.USAID expects to award one Cooperative Agreement based on this RFA. Subject to the availability of funds, USAID intends to allocate approximately $22.2 million funding to be allocated over a Five (5) year period. USAID reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted.The Government of Ethiopia laws require prior registration for a foreign and local organization in order to implement programs or conduct any business in Ethiopia. Any apparently successful applicant must provide a copy of the certification of registration and license from the appropriate Ministry/Agency of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia prior to the start of implementation of the program. All local institutions or affiliates of international organizations must be registered as a legal entity in Ethiopia. Local registration is not a requirement at application time, but it is required prior to the implementation of the program.Applicants under consideration for an award that have never received funding from USAID will be subject to a pre-award audit to determine fiscal responsibility, adequacy of financial controls and established an indirect cost rate. Award will be made to the responsible applicant whose application offers the greatest value to the U.S. Government. Issuance of this RFA does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the Government, nor does it commit the Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of an application. All guidance included in this RFA takes precedence over any reference documents referred to in the RFA. If there are problems in downloading the RFA from the Internet, please contact the Grants.gov help desk at 1.800.518.4726 or support@grants.gov for technical assistance. Applications shall be submitted in electronic copy to caddis@usaid.gov with a copy to Tsegereda Gebremedhin at tgebremedhin@usaid.gov . Applications submitted in hard copy format are accepted if submission in electronic format is not practicable as described in Section IV. Applications must be received by the closing date and time indicated at the top of this cover letter. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered for award. To make sure that your application package is delivered to us, please ensure that your email attachments are not more than 2 MB in size. If they are more than 1 MB in size you may submit your technical/cost applications and any attachments in separate emails. Telegraphic or fax applications (entire proposal) are not authorized for this RFA and will not be accepted. Any questions concerning this RFA must be submitted in writing to caddis@usaid.gov , with a &amp;#145;cc&amp;#146; to Tsegereda Gebremedhin at tgebremedhin@usaid.gov not later than 1600, Local Time, Monday, February 17, 2015.

        <Description>The Biological Anthropology and Archaeology Programs are pleased to invite investigators to apply for an &amp;quot;Integrative Paleoanthropology Grant.&amp;quot; In 2012, contingent on availability of funds, the Programs plan to make a single award for a maximum of $1,000,000 to support a multi-year project of up to five years in duration. The goal of the competition is to further innovative, integrative research to elucidate the principles which underlie hominin biological and behavioral evolution over deep time. While the intellectual scope of the competition is thus constrained, the potential methodologies and disciplines are not. It is understood, for example, that fields such as cognitive science, genetics or mathematical modeling may be directly relevant to such an endeavor. The competition is intended to stimulate integrative research which crosses normal disciplinary and intellectual boundaries in original ways and this aspect is a central criterion and requirement of the competition. Competition organizers recognize the difficulty in defining concepts such as &amp;quot;innovative integrative research&amp;quot; since much paleoanthropological research is currently interdisciplinary and integrative in nature. &amp;quot;Integration&amp;quot;, for example, need not only be cross-disciplinary but might encompass broader perspectives on regional and large scale comparative issues. Proposals are required to address this issue directly in the project description by using up to two pages of the 15 to specifically speak to how the proposed research is both integrative and innovative beyond norms currently in practice and how the proposed research could not be accomplished otherwise. Reviewers and Program Officials will place significant weight on this criterion.Applicants should submit their proposal to either the Biological Anthropology or Archaeology Programs by 4/18/2012. Proposals should follow standard Program guidelines (except for the listed target dates) that are available on the Program&amp;apos;s web site, and should be identified by the inclusion of the &amp;quot;IPG&amp;quot; prefix in the application title. Please note the NSF requirement that proposals requesting postdoctoral support must include a postdoctoral mentoring plan. Also, NSF requires that all proposals contain a data management plan. Both of these plans have a specific place under Supplementary Documents on the Form Preparation screen in Fastlane. Proposals will be evaluated through both outside review and a specially constituted panel. In addition to the specifics discussed above, standard NSF review criteria apply.</Description>

        <Description>NIJ seeks proposals to conduct research to evaluate how technology affects policing strategies at the State, local, and tribal levels and the impact that technology has on policing outcomes. In other words, policing organizations may implement new technologies within their departments for the purpose of promoting public safety, enforcing the law, and/or preventing and detecting crime. If successful, the new technology may lead to changes in policing strategies designed to enhance positive policing outcomes (e.g., improving police response time or reducing targeted crimes). This research aims to fill these gaps in policing research.</Description>

        <Description>The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.2 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through tribal and local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all people incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The coordination of reentry of members of Native American tribes is even more complex given that they can return from federal, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state, local, and tribal facilities. The Second Chance Act helps to ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. The Second Chance Act Programs are designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by reentry and recidivism reduction. &amp;#147;Reentry&amp;#148; is not a specific program, but rather a process that starts when an individual is initially incarcerated and ends when he or she has been successfully reintegrated in the community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes screening and assessment in a pre-release setting, the delivery of evidence-based programming in a pre-release setting, and the delivery of a variety of evidence-based programming for every program participant in a post-release setting designed to ensure that the transition from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful. The Reentry Program for Adults with Co-Occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Disorders is designed to improve outcomes for adults with co-occurring substance abuse and mental disorders through the screening and assessment of incarcerated individuals, availability of some pre-release programming, leading to the provision of appropriate evidence-based services and treatment after incarceration.</Description>

The CHARRT consortiums and Alcohol and AIDS Centers aim to accelerate specific areas of research related to the goals of improving HIV/AIDS treatment among infected individuals affected by alcohol use, and to prevent the transmission of HIV within U.S. and international populations. Specifically, the three primary goals of the U24 resource cores are to: 1) increase levels of collaboration between existing research projects focusing on alcohol and HIV/AIDS, in particular to improve their capacity to carry out translational, operational, or implementation science research studies; and/or 2) provide enhanced capacity to evaluate the impact of alcohol use and HIV within longitudinal research designs, with particular attention to aging; and/or 3) facilitate the implementation of alcohol and HIV/AIDS interventions within targeted populations at greatest risk within the United States).</Description>

        <Description>The principal objective of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration&amp;apos;s (NOAA) Habitat Blueprint - Coastal and Marine Habitat Focus Area Grants solicitation is to identify and support comprehensive and cooperative habitat conservation project(s) in NOAA Habitat Focus Areas (HFAs) that sustain resilient and thriving marine and coastal resources, communities, and economies. Proposals submitted under this solicitation will be selected based on their ability to demonstrate success in achieving the NOAA Habitat Blueprint&amp;#146;s primary objectives within three newly-selected HFAs - Biscayne Bay, FL; Puerto Rico&amp;#146;s Northeast Reserves and Culebra Island, and Kachemak Bay, AK. These objectives vary from region to region, but they all effectively protect and/or restore high-priority habitat for managed fisheries, protected species, and other coastal and marine life; foster resilient coastal communities; advance habitat science; and lead to increased socio-economic benefits. HFA - specific objectives are identified in this federal funding opportunity, and successful proposals will achieve one or several objectives by: 1) addressing a habitat-based issue/concern contributing to the loss or deterioration of coastal resiliency or marine habitats for target managed or protected species (e.g. fish, marine mammals, sea turtles, corals); 2) identifying the project&amp;#146;s outcomes and goal(s) and describing in detail the actions and project(s) to be undertaken to achieve those goals; and 3) describing the measurable impact on the issue/concern, target species, or resource, including proposed evaluation techniques. Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will primarily be funded through cooperative agreements. Two-year cooperative agreement awards will be considered, and additional releases of funds may be used to fund selected proposals through FY16 without further competition. Awards are dependent upon FY15-FY16 congressional appropriations. NOAA anticipates approximately $1.2 million may be available over the next two years to maintain selected awards, dependent upon the level of funding made available by Congress. NOAA will not accept proposals with a Federal request of less than $50,000 or more than $500,000 for a two year period. NOAA anticipates typical awards will range from $100,000 to $400,000 over two years. One or two year proposals will be accepted. Funds will be administered by the NOAA Office of Habitat Conservation. </Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Cooperative Agreements for State Adolescent and Transitional Aged Youth Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination Implementation [State Youth Treatment - Implementation (SYT-I)]. The purpose of this program is to provide funding to states/territories/tribes (hereafter known as states) to improve treatment for adolescents and/or transitional aged youth with substance use disorders (SUD) and/or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders (hereafter known as &amp;#147;the population of focus&amp;#148;) by assuring youth state-wide access to evidence-based assessments, treatment models, and recovery services supported by the strengthening of the existing infrastructure system. Based on need, applicants may choose to provide services to adolescents (ages 12-18) and their families/primary care givers, transitional aged youth (ages 16-25) and their families/primary caregivers, or both these populations and their families/primary caregivers. Applicants that select transitional aged youth may chose a subset of this population of focus (e.g., ages 16-18, ages 18-21, ages 21-25). SYT-I is a combination of infrastructure improvement and direct treatment service delivery. These grants are designed to bring together stakeholders across the systems serving the population of focus to strengthen an existing coordinated network that will enhance/expand treatment services, develop policies, expand workforce capacity, disseminate evidence-based practices, and implement financial mechanisms and other reforms to improve the integration and efficiency of substance use disorders treatment, and recovery support system. This system will serve as a model throughout the state to be replicated. The expected client-level outcomes of the program include increased rates of abstinence; enrollment in education, vocational training, and/or employment; social connectedness; and decreased criminal and juvenile justice involvement for the population of focus. Grantees will be expected to identify and decrease differences in access, service use, and outcomes of services among the adolescent and transitional aged youth populations who are vulnerable to health disparities. </Description>

The purpose of SYT-P is to provide funding to states/territories/tribes (hereafter known as &amp;#147;states&amp;#148;) to develop a comprehensive strategic plan in order to improve treatment for adolescents (ages 12-18) and/or transitional aged youth (ages 16-25) with substance use disorders (SUD) and/or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders (hereafter known as &amp;#147;the population of focus&amp;#148;). The plan will help to assure that youth have access to evidence-based assessments and treatment models and recovery services by strengthening the existing infrastructure system. SYT-P is designed to bring together stakeholders across the systems serving adolescents and transitional aged youth to plan for a coordinated state-wide network to develop policies, expand workforce capacity, disseminate evidence-based practices (EBPs), and implement financial mechanisms and other reforms. The aim is to improve the integration and efficiency of the treatment and recovery support system serving the population of focus. SYT-P seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. </Description>

        <Description>The Support for Adam Walsh Act (AWA) Implementation Grant Program assists jurisdictions with developing and/or enhancing programs designed to implement requirements of SORNA. In summary, SORNA requires: (1) all States, the District of Columbia, the principal U.S. territories, and participating federally recognized Indian tribes to maintain a sex offender registry; and (2) sex offenders to register and maintain a current registration in each jurisdiction where the offender resides, is an employee, or is a student. SORNA also sets forth requirements for sex offender registries, to include: specified required information, duration of registration, and in-person verification of sex offender identity as well as participation in the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website, and the utilization of the SORNA Exchange Portal. For more specific information about compliance with SORNA and access to the final National Guidelines on Sex Offender Registration and Notification, please visit www.smart.gov/sorna_tools.htm#sornaguidelines. For information and resources on AWA, visit www.smart.gov. Goals, Objectives &amp;amp; Deliverables The SMART Office is interested in proposals that enhance and facilitate jurisdictional implementation of SORNA. Applicants must explain how the proposed project will bring the jurisdiction closer to implementation. For those jurisdictions that have already implemented, the application must explain how the proposed project will support continuing compliance with SORNA or enhance their registration/notification program. In developing and/or enhancing efforts or programs designed to implement or maintain compliance with SORNA, applicants may propose specific strategies and projects including, but not limited to: Examples of strategies and projects pertinent to all applicants: &amp;#149; Developing or enhancing jurisdiction-wide SORNA implementation programs or functions. &amp;#149; Enhancing infrastructure to assist implementation of SORNA, such as for the collection, storage, submission or analysis of sex offender biometric data (finger and palm prints) and DNA. &amp;#149; Developing or enhancing law enforcement and other criminal justice agency information sharing at the jurisdiction level as well as between jurisdiction level agencies and local level agencies as it relates to SORNA implementation. &amp;#149; Implementing records management projects, such as converting documents to digital format as required by SORNA. &amp;#149; Providing support for coordinated interagency efforts to enhance implementation of SORNA requirements. &amp;#149; Supporting efforts of local or state units of government (including P.L. 280 tribes) to develop or enhance their sex offender registration and notification functions with tribal nations as delegated to the state for the purpose of substantial implementation of SORNA. &amp;#149; Developing and implementing training for law enforcement and other criminal justice agency personnel responsible for sex offender registration, notification, and monitoring as it relates to SORNA implementation in the jurisdiction. Examples of strategies and projects specifically pertinent to Tribal applicants: &amp;#149; Tribes that have elected to carry out the requirements of SORNA may apply for funding to support SORNA implementation activity carried out by a consortium of tribes that have elected to implement SORNA. For example, several tribes may chose to form a consortium to share resources such as hardware digital fingerprint equipment or kiosks; or jointly staff or share registry offices, share a public website, collaborate on enforcement activities or other facilities used for registration. An application to fund such a collaborative approach or project must include supporting documentation, such as an interagency agreement, a memorandum of understanding, or a letter of cooperation, which demonstrates the collaborative endeavor from each member jurisdiction of the consortia. Examples of strategies and projects pertinent to States, Territories and the District of Columbia: &amp;#149; According to the SORNA national guidelines, jurisdictions may carry out sex offender registration and notification functions through their political subdivisions, to include units of local government. Previous state recipients of AWA Implementation grants that have delegated sex offender registration and notification functions to political subdivisions are encouraged to include support for local units of government in their project activities. &amp;#149; State jurisdictions that include P.L. 280 tribes are encouraged to design projects that address SORNA implementation as it relates to these tribes. Discussion of a jurisdiction&amp;#146;s planned activities should include information regarding the jurisdiction&amp;#146;s SORNA implementation working group. The working group plan should include a list of the working group members and their responsibility regarding SORNA implementation. It is expected that successful grantees will report on their jurisdiction&amp;#146;s working group meetings in their quarterly progress reports. This requirement does not apply to jurisdictions that have already been found to be substantially implementing SORNA. </Description>

Application Review Proposals will be evaluated by a regional visitor services panel. Panel members will review each proposal and judge the project&amp;apos;s ability to: 1.Science camp funding will first be distributed to long standing camps with committed partners, measureable behavioral objectives and demonstrated successes. 2.Strong partnerships are greatly encouraged and will be given priority. Please be advised that the ratio of federal to nonfederal dollars is one of the criteria the panel will review when analyzing proposals. 3.New or expanded camps will be funded through this program unless the request for funding exceeds the dollars available. If requests for proposals exceed the funding amount then the Service will rank the proposals. Funding priority will be based on the following criteria: a.Population size of communities based on the 2010 Census data (e.g. Camps serving communities with less than 5,000 people will be given more consideration than larger communities - based on the premise that large communities have more opportunities and resources available to them); b.Number of students the camp will reach; c.Demonstration of a benefit to a refuge&amp;apos;s purpose; d.Number of partners involved in the camp. Top rank proposals will be funded using the science camp allocation. The remaining proposals will be considered and ranked with the general CCS projects by the CCS panel if they propose a 50 percent or greater nonfederal match. </Description>

        <Description>BJA&amp;#146;s mission is to provide leadership and services through grant administration and criminal justice policy development to support local, state, and tribal justice strategies to achieve safer communities. Driving BJA&amp;apos;s work in the field are the following principles: to reduce crime, recidivism, and unnecessary confinement; and to promote a safe and fair criminal justice system. To implement our strategies consistent with these principles, BJA supports effective criminal justice policy, programs, information sharing, and collaborations within state, local, and tribal agencies and communities, and promotes the use of data, research, and information to increase the effectiveness of criminal justice programs. BJA has four primary components: Policy, Programs, Planning, and the Public Safety Officers&amp;#146; Benefits Office. The Fellows will work in the Policy Office, which provides national leadership in criminal justice policy, training, and technical assistance to further the administration of justice. It also acts as a liaison to national organizations that partner with BJA to set policy and help disseminate information on best and promising practices.To address emerging issues and build capacity to improve the administration of criminal justice, BJA launched the BJA Visiting Fellows Program in FY 2012. The intent is to leverage state, local, or tribal subject-matter expertise to assess areas of need and to develop strategies, tools, and policies in collaboration with BJA staff for the benefit of the criminal justice field. By hosting up to five Fellows with FY 2015 funds, BJA will collaborate with practitioners and researchers to build capacity to address gaps in priority and emerging issues in the criminal justice field. BJA encourages potential applicants from a broad range of disciplines to consider how their work in areas related to crime and justice might support work in the BJA Visiting Fellows Program&amp;#146;s priority issue areas outlined below.This program is likely to be funded under Economic High-Tech and Cyber Crime Prevention, Services for Trafficking Victims, Second Chance Act, Prison Rape Elimination Act, and Swift and Certain Sanctions/Replicating the Concepts Behind Project HOPE.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this Agreement is to promote completion of whole watershed restoration within priority river basins, securing core habitats for recovery of important at-risk fish stocks in Oregon and Washington. Together the partners first identify Priority Basins and Focus Watersheds in the Pacific Northwest that have the highest ecological values and potential responsiveness to restoration efforts. The partnership provides funding for projects in these areas that aim to restore and protect major ecological functions by removing risk factors and restoring damaged habitat-forming processes in the watershed. Once the work of restoring major ecological processes is completed within an individual Focus Watershed, restoration efforts and funding will then be concentrated on other areas; thus the geographic focus will change over time.</Description>

        <Description>The National Marine Fisheries Service (hereinafter, &amp;quot;NMFS&amp;quot;) is responsible for the stewardship, conservation, and management of pinniped species in Alaska, including the Steller sea lion, Northern fur seal, ringed seal, bearded seal, spotted seal, ribbon seal, and harbor seal. Two of these pinnipeds are currently listed under the Endangered Species Act: the endangered western Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Steller sea lions and the threatened Arctic subspecies of ringed seals (a third species, the Beringia DPS of bearded seals, was also listed as threatened but the listing was vacated by the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska). NMFS has the responsibility to foster the recovery of these ESA-listed species and research is necessary to support our recovery programs for these species. Non-ESA-listed pinniped species or populations in Alaska are listed as strategic stocks under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and/or are important as a subsistence resource to Alaska Natives and co-managed by NMFS and Alaska Native co-management partners. Research is also an important component to co-management of these animals. Beginning in fiscal year (hereinafter, &amp;#147;FY&amp;#148;) 2015, certain priority pinniped research in Alaska will be administered through a competitively-funded, merit-based grants program. This program concerns only Alaskan pinnipeds for which NMFS bears responsibility; proposals focusing on marine mammals under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will not be considered for funding under this grant program. This document describes how to prepare and submit proposals for funding in FY 2015 and how NMFS will determine which proposals will be funded. </Description>

        <Description>The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor, announces the availability of approximately $5 million in grant funds authorized by Section 171, Pilot and Demonstration Projects, of the Workforce Investment Act and Section 212 of the Second Chance Act of 2007 for Linking to Employment Activities Pre-release Specialized American Job Centers (AJCs) grants. The purpose of this program is to provide locally incarcerated offenders with employability skills by providing them workforce services prior to release from local incarceration and linking them to a continuum of employment, training, education, and support services offered through their community-based AJCs post-release, as well as building connections to local employers that will enable transitioning offenders to secure employment pre-release. The jail-based specialized AJCs will enable transitioning offenders to prepare for employment prior to release and continue with individual development and service plans in the community once released. The aim of these centers is to improve workforce outcomes for transitioning offenders. These jail-based specialized AJCs will build upon the successful and effective strategies that currently exist in similar correctional facility-based one-stop centers across the country. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications to pursue translational and clinical studies for recording and/or stimulating devices to treat nervous system disorders and better understand the human brain. The program will utilize a cooperative agreement mechanism to support the submission of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for a Significant Risk (SR) study or obtain Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for a Non-Significant Risk (NSR) study, and a subsequent small clinical study (e.g., Early Feasibility Study). The small clinical study should provide data to answer key questions about the function or final design of a device.This final device design may require most, if not all, of the non-clinical testing on the path to more advanced clinical trials and market approval. The clinical study is expected to provide information that cannot be practically obtained through additional nonclinical assessments (e.g., bench top or animal studies) due to the novelty of the device or its intended use. Activities supported in this program include implementation of clinical prototype devices, non-clinical safety and efficacy testing, design verification and validation activities, and pursuit of regulatory approval for, and implementation of, a single small clinical study.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to encourage applications to pursue a small clinical study to obtain critical information necessary to advance recording and/or stimulating devices to treat central nervous system disorders and better understand the human brain (e.g., Early Feasibility Study).Clinical studies supported may consist of acute or short-term procedures that are deemed Non-Significant Risk (NSR) by an Institutional Review Board, or Significant Risk (SR) studies that require an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA, such as chronic implants.The clinical study should provide data to answer key questions about the function or final design of a device.This final device design may require most, if not all, of the non-clinical testing on the path to more advanced clinical trials and market approval. The clinical study is expected to provide information that cannot be practically obtained through additional nonclinical assessments (e.g., bench top or animal studies) due to the novelty of the device or its intended use.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are either the State Mental Health Authority (SMHA) or the Single State Agency (SSA) in the states listed below.  However, SAMHSA&amp;#146;s expectation is that both the SSA and the SMHA will work in partnership to fulfill the requirements of the grant.  To demonstrate this collaboration, applicants must provide a letter of commitment from the partnering entity in Attachment 4 of the application.  If the SMHA and the SSA are one entity, applicants must include a statement to that effect in Attachment 4.      SAMHSA believes that limiting eligibility to states is the most efficient and effective way to facilitate a systems approach (i.e., strengthen or develop infrastructure). In addition, states are in a unique position to efficiently and effectively impact the goals of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Strategic Plan.    States that received an FY 2013 or FY 2014 CABHI-States grant are not eligible to apply because they are currently receiving funding for this program.  In addition, eligibility is being restricted because SAMHSA seeks to further expand the impact of the CABHI-States program across the nation.   </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration&amp;#146;s (SAMHSA&amp;#146;s) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) are accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals for States (CABHI-States) grants. The purpose of this jointly funded program is to enhance or develop the infrastructure of states and their treatment service systems to increase capacity and provide accessible, effective, comprehensive, coordinated/integrated, and evidence-based treatment services; permanent supportive housing; peer supports; and other recovery support services to: &amp;#149; Individuals who experience chronic homelessness and have substance use disorders, serious mental illnesses (SMI), or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders; and/or &amp;#149; Veterans who experience homelessness/chronic homelessness and have substance use disorders, SMI, or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. As a result of this program, SAMHSA seeks to: 1) improve statewide strategies to address planning, coordination, and integration of behavioral health and primary care services, and permanent housing to reduce homelessness; 2) increase the number of individuals, residing in permanent housing, who receive behavioral health treatment and recovery support services; and 3) increase the number of individuals placed in permanent housing and enrolled in Medicaid and other mainstream benefits (e.g., Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability Insurance [SSI/SSDI], Temporary Assistance for Needy Families [TANF], Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP]). </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Special Projects of National Significance Program (SPNS) initiative, Use of Social Media to Improve Engagement, Retention, and Health Outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum &amp;#191; Demonstration Sites. The purpose of this grant program is to support organizations that will implement, evaluate and disseminate findings from innovative methods for identifying, linking, retaining and improving health outcomes for HIV positive underserved, underinsured, hard-to-reach youth and young adults in HIV primary care and supportive services through the use of social media. These methods are expected to include innovative system approaches using a variety of social media technologies or any other internet or mobile based applications, in the engagement and retention in care and viral load suppression of youth and young adults living with HIV. The innovative system approaches proposed by the applicant organizations must be novel and will be tested and evaluated during the SPNS initiative, though certain components or tools of that system may have already been assessed through other studies. Programs will be expected to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of their models&amp;#191; design including service utilization, treatment adherence, cost and impact on health-related outcomes, and to disseminate findings, best practices and lessons learned. Successful applicants will be required to work collaboratively with a HRSA/HAB supported Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center (ETAC) throughout the four year project period. This will include, but is not limited to, the collecting and reporting of data to the ETAC for a comprehensive multi-site evaluation, and the dissemination of successful models to the larger public health community.</Description>

HRSA&amp;#191;s HIV/AIDS Bureau&amp;#191;s mission is to provide leadership and resources to assure access to and retention in high quality, integrated care and treatment services for vulnerable people living with HIV/AIDS and their families. Demonstration sites will implement, evaluate and disseminate findings from innovative methods of identifying, linking, retaining and improving health outcomes for HIV positive underserved, underinsured, and hard-to-reach youth and young adults through the use of social media.[1] In particular, proposed methods must address ways to increase access to and retention in care for youth and young adults with poor utilization of health care or who are HIV infected but are unaware of their HIV status. Demonstration sites will implement interventions based on innovative social media platforms to bring youth and young adults into health care at the early stages of HIV disease. [1] See Funding Opportunity Announcement &amp;#191;Use of Social Media to Improve Engagement, Retention, and Health Outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum&amp;#191; (HRSA-15-029) for more information on demonstration site expectations. Applicants should carefully read the requirements for the demonstration sites under Announcement Number HRSA-15-029 at Grants.gov to better understand the expectations for the interventions.</Description>

        <Description>Energy Innovation Hubs are composed of large, multidisciplinary teams of investigators whose research integrates basic to applied research and focuses on a single critical national energy need. Batteries and electrical energy storage technologies are pivotal and straddle two major energy sectors: transportation and the grid. For vehicles, new batteries with improved lifetimes and storage capacities are needed to expand range of electric vehicles? for a single charge while simultaneously decreasing the manufacturing cost and weight. For the electrical grid, new approaches to electrochemical energy storage can enable inherently intermittent renewable energy sources to meet continuous electricity demand. Today?s electrical energy storage approaches suffer from limited energy and power capacities, lower-than-desired rates of charge and discharge, cycle life limitations, low abuse tolerance, high cost, and poor performance at high or low temperatu res. The Batteries and Energy Storage Hub will accelerate the development of energy storage solutions that are well beyond current capabilities and approach theoretical limits. This development will be enabled by cross-disciplinary R&amp;amp;D focused on the barriers to transforming electrochemical energy storage, including the exploration of new materials, devices, systems, and novel approaches for transportation and utility-scale storage. The Hub will provide a critical mass research effort to overcome the current technical limits for electrochemical energy storage to the point that the risk level will be low enough for industry to further develop the innovations discovered by the Hub and deploy these new technologies into the marketplace. To achieve these goals, the Batteries and Energy Storage Hub will foster unique collaborations bridging fundamental scientific research and technology development. The Batteries and Energy Storage Hub will be the fourth such Hub established by DOE. Three Energy Innovation Hubs were launched in FY 2010 ? Fuels from Sunlight; Energy Efficient Building Systems Design; and Modeling and Simulation for Nuclear Reactors. The Hub will be funded up to a total of $20 million in the first year; up to $10 million of those funds can be devoted to infrastructure start-up for the Hub, including building renovation (but not new construction), lease arrangements, equipment, and instrumentation. It is anticipated that the Hub will be funded up to $25 million per year for Hub operations in the final four years of the award period, pending Congressional appropriations. </Description>

        <EligibleApplicants>99</EligibleApplicants>
        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>All applicants must be legally recognized organizational entities under applicable law.      DCHA/CMM welcomes applications from many types of organizations including foundations, U.S. and non-U.S. colleges and universities, U.S. and non-U.S. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), faith-based organizations, U.S. and non-U.S. private businesses, business and trade associations, international organizations, civic groups, regional organizations, etc. The following describes additional criteria for some potential partners.    U.S. and Non-U.S. Colleges and Universities: Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. colleges and universities may apply for funding under this APS. USG and USAID regulations generally treat colleges and universities as NGOs, rather than governmental organization. Hence, both public and private colleges and universities are eligible. Non-U.S. colleges    &amp;#149;and universities in countries that are ineligible for assistance under the FAA or related appropriations acts are ineligible.     &amp;#149;U.S. and Non-U.S. Non-Profit Organizations: Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. private non-profit organizations may apply for USAID funding under this APS.      &amp;#149; U.S. and Non-U.S. For-Profit Organizations: Potential for-profit applicants should note that USAID policy requires that award funds may not be used for the payment of profits. Also, forgone profit does not qualify as cost-sharing or leveraging. However, if a prime recipient has a (sub)-contract with a for-profit organization for the acquisition of goods or services (i.e., if a buyer-seller relationship is created), fee/profit for the (sub)-contractor is authorized.      Although cooperation with, and endorsement of Applications by various units of USAID is encouraged, and collaboration with USAID units is expected during implementation, this APS is limited to applications from organizations outside of USAID.    </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This is noticed of intention to make a single source award under the Pacific Northwest CESU&amp;#146;s (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit) Cooperative and Joint Venture Agreement. CESUs are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. The CESU Network Council competitively selected the CESU host universities through five rounds of formal competition between 1999-2003, and periodically reviews and reapproves each host university. This opportunity is consistent with the mission of the CESU Network and application of the CESU Network system-wide indirect cost rate is expected.This opportunity will enable collaborative work between a member university of the Pacific Northwest CESU and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) that includes completing revised regional population models for bald and golden eagles that can be used to assess the impact of total regional take of various forms, modifying the adaptive decision framework for managing and allocating total take of golden eagles at the regional level, updating the basic Bayesian predictive model for lethal take of eagles at the project site-level and developing competing models with additional complexity, and exploring the creation of a bald eagle specific model (collision prior) based on white-tailed eagle data, including literature search, data acquisition, and analysis. Substantial involvement on the part of the Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the activities to be funded. In particular, the Service will work closely with collaborators on this project, providing direct input on the analyses and modeling approaches and data, as needed and available, and co-authorship or review of manuscripts or reports. This may include arrangement of meetings (both in person and remote) as necessary and direct sharing of data and related information.Scientific integrity is vital to Department of the Interior activities under which scientific research, data, summaries, syntheses, interpretations, presentations, and/or publications are developed and used. Failure to uphold the highest degree of scientific integrity will result not only in potentially flawed scientific results, interpretations, and applications but will damage DOI&amp;#146;s reputation and ability to uphold the public&amp;#146;s trust. All work performed shall comply with the DOI Scientific Integrity Policy or its equivalent as provided by their organization or State law. As stated in the Scientific Integrity Policy, contractors may be required to investigate allegations of scientific misconduct. Failure to comply with the DOI Scientific Integrity Policy, including failing to conduct and/or truthfully report a requested investigation, may result in the Government exercising any available remedy including, but not limited to, the remedies specified in Section 3.8 E(2)(d) of the attached DOI Scientific Integrity Policy</Description>

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Uganda is seeking applications to fund one or more organizations through a Cooperative Agreement for a five-year health service integration program in Uganda. Subject to the availability of funds, USAID intends to provide approximately $50 million in total USAID funding to be allocated over the five-year period. The purpose of the NU-HITES is to continue technical assistance and capacity building support similar to that provided under the Northern Uganda Malaria, AIDS and Tuberculosis (NUMAT) project, integrate additional support in Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH), Family Planning (FP) and nutrition; while prioritizing the strengthening of district-level health systems.NU-HITES is envisioned to serve as USAID&amp;#146;s key partner in the coming five years to support improvements for a health system able to meet the health needs of the northern Uganda population. As the north continues its transition from post-conflict to a more stable development setting, USAID is also transitioning its modes of support from humanitarian approaches that provide basic service provision to one of longer-term partnership with local structures and systems to ensure greater sustainability of social sector services. In this vein, the program will focus on supporting District governments to enable them to meet their primary responsibility for the provision of public sector health services. However, while public sector services and leadership are necessary, they are not sufficient to meet the population&amp;#146;s health needs. Therefore, NU-HITES will also support the growth and acceleration of a vibrant and sustainable private health sector that aims to serve the health needs of the northern Uganda population through innovations in service provision while complementing the public sector. Underpinning this support of both the public and private sector to strengthen health services in the north will be a shift from the current NUMAT program&amp;#146;s focus on infectious disease to an integrated focus on ensuring that quality primary health services are available, accessible, and affordable at different levels of the health system. Specifically, NU-HITES goal is the improved and sustained health and nutritional status of northern Uganda population through strengthening a district-based integrated package of quality health services. The expected program objectives are as follows: 1) Increased use of quality health services at facility and community level by women, girls and children (Health Service Delivery); and 2) Strengthened systems for effective and sustainable delivery of quality health services (Health System Strengthening). </Description>

        <Description>The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-265) amended Section 22 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) to establish a requirement that State agencies (SAs) conduct additional administrative reviews of selected local educational agencies (LEAs). It also amended Section 7 of the Child Nutrition Act to provide funding for States to be used for administrative reviews and training of LEAs. Both of these requirements are focused on LEAs which have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for, administrative error. To assist SAs in achieving these requirements, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has up to $4 million available in fiscal year (FY) 2012 to fund Method II Administrative Reviews and Training (ART) Grants for training and oversight. The grant funds will be available only to the 57 SAs that administer the Child Nutrition Programs, and are for the purpose of identifying, reviewing, monitoring and training LEAs that have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for, administrative error. FNS will make the funds available on a competitive basis. States may apply for a Planning grant or an Implementation grant, as described in Section IV, ART Method II Grant Types, in this Request for Applications (RFA).</Description>

        <Description>The Collaborative Research on Addiction at the NIH (CRAN) composed of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and along with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) intend to jointly fund the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study Consortium using the cooperative agreement award mechanism. The objective of the consortium is to establish a national, multisite, longitudinal cohort study to prospectively examine the neurodevelopmental and behavioral effects of substance use from early adolescence (approximately age 9-10) through the period of risk for substance use and substance use disorders. The structure of the consortium shall consist of three highly integrated components that may be linked at the time of submission: (1) a set of Research Project Sites, (2) a single central Data Analysis and Informatics Center, and (3) a single overall Coordinating Center. Unlinked applications will also be accepted, and if selected for funding, will be linked to other applications to form a consortium after review. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for Research Project Sites. This FOA runs in parallel with companion FOAs that solicit applications for a single Coordinating Center (RFA-DA-15-014) and a single central Data Analysis and Informatics Center (RFA-DA-15-016). It is expected that investigators, upon funding, will work jointly with NIH scientific staff to assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant Program. The purpose of the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant (Flex) Program is providing support for critical access hospitals for quality improvement, quality reporting, performance improvements, and benchmarking; designating facilities as critical access hospitals; and the provision of rural emergency medical services. Through these activities the Flex Program ensure residents in rural communities have access to high quality health care services. State Flex funding for this three-year project period will act as a resource and focal point for strategic planning in the following program areas with an emphasis and priority on quality and financial and operational improvement: 1. Quality Improvement (required) 2. Financial and Operational Improvement (required) 3. Population Health Management and Emergency Medical Services Integration (optional) 4. Designation of CAHs in the State (required if requested) 5. Integration of Innovative Health Care Models (optional) Program area three and five are optional paths to achieve quality and financial and operational improvement via other activities beyond the required program areas. The overall goals of the Flex program are to: &amp;#183; Improve the quality of care provided by CAHs. &amp;#183; Improve the financial and operational outcomes of CAHs. &amp;#183; Understand the Community Health and EMS Needs of CAHs. &amp;#183; Enhance the health of rural communities through community/population health improvement. &amp;#183; Improve identification and management of Time Critical Diagnoses and engage EMS capacity and performance in Rural Communities. &amp;#183; Support the financial and operational transition to value based models and health care transformation models in the health care system. States will use Flex resources to address identified needs for CAHs within the state and to achieve improved and measurable outcomes in each selected program area. FORHP understands that each state will have varied resources to address those needs; therefore, Flex grantees can determine the best activity or group of activities to improve on key outcomes within each selected program area. FORHP recognizes that the grant funding provided through Flex is not sufficient to meet all needs of CAHs within each state, so grantees are expected to assess the needs of CAHs within their state and prioritize which needs are to be addressed over this project period cycle. In order to maximize Flex funding, grantees are encouraged to look at funding cohorts of CAHs with similar challenges. While working on program activities, states are encouraged to work with, in addition to State Hospital Associations: Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs), Quality Innovation Networks (QINs), Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), Hospital Engagement Networks (HENs), State Rural Health Associations, and others concerned with the future of rural health care. This project period guidance reflects the continued push towards funding activities that can provide clear outcomes and demonstrated improvements. A broad goal is establishing and measuring outcomes consistently across the program nationally in order to show the impact of Flex investments. Furthermore, these Flex activities will better align rural health providers and CAHs with the current healthcare landscape as it evolves. More specifically, through the Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP) within the Quality Improvement program area, many CAHs signed on to voluntarily participate in quality reporting and improvement initiatives. With this iteration of the program to align with the focus on quality measurement and outcomes across health care payment systems, CAHs that wish to participate in any Flex activity will be required to participate in reporting MBQIP core quality measures.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Agreement will be two-fold. First it will focus on monitoring and research on the federally endangered California least tern breeding colony within Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach (Station) and Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge (SBNWR). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the U.S. Navy (Navy) are cooperatively managing the existing colony. Monitoring of nesting success, analysis of the breeding success relative to other colonies and past data will greatly increase the site database and also serve to supplement regional information collected regarding known, banded birds from this and other colonies. The second purpose of this Agreement is to survey the population of the federally endangered light-footed Ridgway&amp;#8217;s rail breeding on the Station and SBNWR and provide the Navy with a report. The population at SBNWR has been in decline over the past two decades with alarming lows in recent years. This survey effort will supplement the existing database, which plays an important role in management decisions for this federally listed species. </Description>

        <Description>The USFWS is seeking proposals on behalf of the Aleutian and Bering Sea Islands Landscape Conservation Cooperative hereafter shown as ABSI LCC. The Mission of the ABSI LCC is to promote coordination, dissemination, and development of applied science to inform conservation of natural and cultural resources in the face of climate change and other landscape scale stressors. This Notice of Funding Availability has multiple Topics. For each the following topics we envision research efforts will primary consist of syntheses and modelling based on existing data and/or climate projections but we are also interested in possible proposals involving field research if leveraging of that existing work sufficiently addresses one or more of our topics. The following four topic areas have been identified by the ABSI Steering Committee as key information needs for managers and communities in the ABSI region relative to climate change: Topic 1: We are interested in an evaluation of how climate change might disrupt trophic function important for key prey species of importance to marine mammals. We are specifically interested in an exploration of shifts in timing and spatial distribution of primary and secondary productivity in areas important to marine mammal species. Topic 2: We want to understand how climate change might facilitate the expansion of parasites, diseases, or other pathogens in marine species important to human communities within the ABSI region. We are interested in syntheses, modelling, projections, etc. that specifically identify climatic thresholds (e.g., ocean temperatures or sea ice extent) that define the ranges of pathogens and the potential for those ranges to change or expand given future projected conditions. We are particularly interested in projects in this topic area that focus on pathogens that affect marine species important to subsistence harvest practices and human health in the region. Topic 3: We want to understand the potential negative effects of climate change on body condition of young of the year for key fish species (e.g., commercial and/or subsistence target species). Specifically, we are interested in syntheses of existing bioenergetics data (e.g., weight vs. fork length, calorimetric or fat content measures, etc.) and analysis of these given projections (hindcasts and/or forecasts) of climate variables to better understand potential climate change effects on recruitment. Topic 4: We want to understand which seabird species might be most vulnerable to changes in prey abundance as a result of climate change effects on trophic function. Specifically, we are interested in a quantitative index of sensitivity to changes in forage abundance and timing that can be applied to seabird species in region. We imagine relevant variables to include things like body mass, cost of foraging, foraging ranges, ability to dive, activity budgets, potential for prey switching, etc. evaluated at the individual species level. </Description>

        <Description>PRM seeks concept notes for research projects to strengthen evidence-based humanitarian decision making by PRM and its partners worldwide. Concept notes must focus on one of the following topics: access to education for urban refugee children; costs/benefits of cash assistance in acute emergencies; economic impact of refugees on host communities; and environmental impact of refugee camps. This solicitation is the first step in a two-part process. After reviewing concept notes, PRM will invite selected organizations to expand their submissions into full 20-page single year proposals, with detailed budgets. Eligible applicants include (1) Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; (2) Nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; (3) Private institutions of higher education; (4) Public and State controlled institutions of higher education; and (5) International Organizations. Please note that PRM will not fund research focusing only on one NGO program unless it is uniquely innovative programming; conducted in an independent manner; and would generate findings that are credible, generalizable, and relevant to a range of other humanitarian stakeholders. PRM will prioritize funding for projects that aim to produce practical policy or programmatic recommendations that are applicable to more than one specific population or country. All final reports should include tools, data, findings, and recommendations for policy and program implementation. Recommendations should be concrete, actionable, and directed to specific actors.</Description>

        <Description>National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them. These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation.This Task Agreement focuses on planning, administration, public outreach, media, and demonstration projects that are identified in the management plan for the MPNHA and serve a public purpose under P.L. No. 109-338, 120 Stat. 1738.Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service (NPS) is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. NPS staff will provide technical and financial assistance to the Alliance regarding the development and implementation of the management plan; review MPNHA&amp;#191;s list of applicants and recommended subgrants to ensure compliance with the heritage area&amp;#191;s management plan and enabling legislation; and provide consultation and technical assistance and ensure all applicable State and Federal laws are adhered too including the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits new and competing continuation applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part C Early Intervention Services (EIS). Funds will support outpatient HIV primary care services targeted to low-income, vulnerable, medically underserved people living with HIV/AIDS including women, infants, children and youth. The purpose of the RWHAP Part C EIS Program is to provide HIV primary care in the outpatient setting. Applicants must propose to provide a comprehensive continuum of outpatient HIV primary care services in the designated service area including: 1) targeted HIV counseling, testing, and referral; 2) medical evaluation and clinical care; 3) other primary care services; and 4) referrals to other health services. Primary care for persons with HIV disease should start as early in the course of the infection as possible. However, entry into a RWHAP Part C EIS program may take place at any point in the spectrum of the disease or the patient&amp;#191;s lifespan. This competition is open to existing and new organizations proposing to provide RWHAP Part C funded services in the service areas described in Appendix B. Applicants must define their proposed service area, which may be a portion of or the entire published service area. Applicants proposing to serve less than all of the service area as listed in Appendix B must demonstrate the availability of comprehensive care and services to the entire service area through partners or other RWHAP providers. Applicants that have overlapping geographic service areas must propose to provide additional services, or target specific vulnerable populations, and/or provide services that enhance the existing services in the area. New organizations must demonstrate that they will serve the existing patients and populations, and provide at least the same scope of services of the current grantee. As established in section 2651 of the PHS Act, and according to the terms and conditions of these awards, a RWHAP Part C program grantee must expend grant funds to provide HIV primary medical care in a proposed service area. These services must be reflected in the budget. Staff positions such as nurses, medical assistants and dental hygienists can be included in the budget when the position proportionately complements HIV primary medical care providers, such as physicians, dentists, physician assistants, or nurse practitioners for the RWHAP Part C program. Accordingly, a RWHAP Part C budget must reflect a medical model of care in which providers can assess, treat and refer, as applicable. Providers must be authorized, via credentialing and licensure, to prescribe medications, order medically indicated tests/exams, interpret symptoms, treat, and meet Department of Health and Human Services&amp;#191; (HHS) HIV/AIDS medical practice guidelines. Applicants are expected to focus RWHAP Part C supported services on those populations of persons living with HIV (PLWH) who are the hardest to reach, have the greatest unmet need, and/or the greatest gaps in HIV primary care services as documented by local epidemiologic and needs assessment data. These populations include (but are not limited to) minorities, youth, women, pregnant women, post-incarcerated persons, and homeless persons. Applicants will be expected to have the financial capabilities to execute the fiduciary responsibilities that come with acceptance of a federal award. Applicants must demonstrate that they are fiscally able to perform the duties and services outlined in this grant. RWHAP Part C programs should comply with federally-approved guidelines for HIV Prevention and Treatment (see http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov/ as a reliable source for current guidelines). More information can also be found at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/onap/. The HHS, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) are committed to meeting the national goals and principles described below. As applicants complete their RWHAP Part C proposal, they should consider how their program supports and helps to implement these goals and principles.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this amendment are to make the following changes: Revise Section I. C., Project Scope for SEP Program Administrator, and add language to Section VI. B., Administrative and National Policy Requirements. All other parts of the FOA remain unchanged. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE Exchange website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE Exchange website. The Users&amp;apos; guide for applying to Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy&amp;#146;s Funding Opportunity Announcements through the Exchange website can be found at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE Exchange website. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to fund an administrator for a new American National Standards Institute, ANSI, accredited Superior Energy Performance Program, or SEP. The SEP program will provide industrial plants and commercial buildings with a roadmap for achieving continual improvement in energy efficiency. Once launched, SEP will provide a transparent, globally accepted system for validating energy intensity performance improvement and management practices. It is anticipated that the SEP certification program will launch nationally in 2012. The Department of Energy intends to fund a single awardee under this FOA to serve as the SEP Program Administrator for both the industrial and commercial sectors; however, if it becomes apparent during the review process that separate program administrators are appropriate, DOE may elect to separately fund program administrators for these two sectors. The intent of this funding is to support the SEP Program Administrator during the initial stages of promoting and implementing the program, with the ultimate aim of creating an independent, financially self-sustaining entity. The SEP Program Administrator will be responsible to launch and oversee the SEP program. Key tasks include (1) development of a self-sustaining business model; (2) promotion, education, and marketing; (3) management and administration; and (4) reporting and program evaluation.The full Funding Opportunity Announcement is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.

        <Description>I. The purpose of this amendment is to make the following change: Section V. APPLICATION REVIEW INFORMATION - B. Review and Selection Process - 2. Selection Process - Pre-Selection Clarification - Revise and provide additional information about the pre-selection clarification process (page 31). II. All other parts of the FOA remain unchanged. III. The areas which have changed are highlighted in yellow within the Funding Opportunity Announcement. The objective of the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI): High Operating Temperature Fluids (?HOT Fluids?) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support research into fluid materials development that will enable Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems to integrate with energy conversion devices capable of thermal to electric conversion efficiencies greater than 50%. DOE anticipates providing up to $10M in funding for up to 2 awardees to accomplish the goals of this funding opportunity. This FOA directly supports the goals of the Department of Energy?s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Solar Energy Technologies Program and the SunShot Initiative. This FOA will take a MURI approach that ensures awardees bring together researchers from various technical backgrounds in order to achieve the discovery and a development of a liquid that is stable as a liquid from 0?C to 1300?C. This target must be achieved while also ensuring that the fluid has the necessary properties to be used in current CSP plant designs. Development of such a fluid will directly enable the achievement of the SunShot target of providing electricity generated by solar power at a cost of 6 cents per kilowatt hour (?/kWh). The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A user Guide for the EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website at: http://eere.energy.gov/financing/exchange/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system.

        <Description>The Wildlife Without Borders Amphibians in Decline program will fund projects that conserve the worlds rapidly declining amphibian species. Species eligible for funding are those frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians that face a very high risk of extinction in the immediate future. Species should meet the criteria to be listed as Critically Endangered or Endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Species listed as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List are also eligible if the applicant can provide information that suggests a similar urgency for conservation action. Species listed as Extinct in Wild are eligible if the applicant is proposing a reintroduction attempt. The following species are NOT eligible for funding: Species with natural habitat range located primarily within the United States, territories of the United States, Canada, and the high income economies of Europe; Non-amphibian species. The goal of this grants program is to reduce threats to highly endangered amphibians in their natural habitat. Proposals should identify specific conservation actions that have a high likelihood of creating durable benefits. Project activities that emphasize data collection and status assessment should describe a direct link to management action, and explain how lack of information has been a key limiting factor for management action in the past. Proposals that do not identify how actions will reduce threats, or do not demonstrate a strong link between data collection and management action, have a lower likelihood of being selected. Proposed project work should occur within the species range, or, if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show a clear relevance to its conservation. Proposals that emphasize exsitu conservation and captive management have a lower likelihood of being selected. </Description>

        <Description>The Marine Turtle Conservation Fund is soliciting proposals for the conservation of marine turtles (Chelonia mydas, Caretta caretta, Dermochelys coriacea, Eretmochelys imbricata, Lepidochelys olivacea, Lepidochelys kempii) throughout their range outside of the United States and its territories. The U.S. Government enacted the Marine Turtle Conservation Fund of 2004 in response to the decline of many marine turtle populations worldwide and the serious threats to the long term survival of marine turtle populations. The primary purpose of the Act is to provide financial support for projects that conserve nesting populations and habitat and address other threats to the survival of marine turtles in foreign countries. The Marine Turtle Conservation Fund supports projects that promote the conservation of marine turtles by focusing on: Academic and technical training in the conservation and management of marine turtles; Applied research on marine turtle populations and their habitats, including surveys and monitoring; Conservation education and community outreach for the protection of nesting and near shore foraging populations; Development and execution of marine turtle conservation management plans; Habitat conservation and management; Information exchange to promote international collaboration; Projects to protect nesting females and eggs on important nesting beaches; Promotion of networks, partnerships, and coalitions that assist in the implementation of conventions, treaties, protocols and other international activities for the conservation and management of marine turtles; Protected area or reserve management of important nesting beaches; Strengthening local capacity to implement conservation programs on nesting beaches; and Strengthening law enforcement capacity and forensics skills through training and equipment. Applicant organizations should be conducting project work directly on populations occurring outside the United States, or the results of research should have direct bearing on and benefits to marine turtle populations outside the United States. Applied research projects should address specific management needs and actions, and threats from emerging issues, such as disease and climate change, that affect the species and their habitats. </Description>

        <Description>Please note, the RFI submission deadline has been extended to March 9, 2012. The Department of Energy (DOE) seeks feedback from stakeholders for technology deployment activities aimed at verifying the commercial readiness of fuel cell and hydrogen technologies, consistent with DOE?s on-going efforts and mission. Areas of interest include the following: Area of Interest 1: Innovative, Commercially Ready Fuel Cell Systems for Specific Applications Subtopic 1A: Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) for Refrigerated Trucks Subtopic 1B: Fuel Cell Recharging Systems for All-Electric Light- or Heavy-Duty Trucks Area of Interest 2: Technology Deployment Projects for Other On- or Off-Road Transportation Markets The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This RFI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. DOE may issue a FOA in the future, providing approximately 45 calendar days for applicants to prepare and submit applications. However, DOE may also elect not to issue a FOA. There is no guarantee that a FOA will be issued as a result of this RFI. Responding to this RFI does not provide any advantage or disadvantage to potential applicants if DOE chooses to issue a FOA regarding the subject matter. Final details, including the anticipated award size, quantity, and timing of DOE funded awards, will be subject to Congressional appropriations and direction.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to stimulate and expand research on the interplay of genetic and environmental factors in the genesis, course, and outcomes of substance and alcohol use disorders (SUDs). Previous work in genetic epidemiology and molecular genetics has established that SUDs are highly heritable, developmental disorders with important genetic substrates.Building on these findings, new studies using genetically informative approaches are needed to elucidate the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in developmental trajectories of SUDs and comorbid conditions, deepen and refine phenotypic definitions of SUDs, and meet the methodologic challenges of the field.Such studies hold great potential to promote understanding of the true contributions of both genetic and environmental factors to initiation, progression, comorbidity, adverse outcomes, and cessation of SUDs; to elucidate mechanisms of risk; and to enhance opportunities for translation to treatment, prevention, gene-finding and molecular studies.</Description>

        <Description>The Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (Section 305, Title III, Public Law 101 646, 16 U.S.C. 3954) established the National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program (NCWCGP) to acquire, restore, and enhance wetlands in coastal States through competitive matching grants to State agencies. The primary goal of the NCWCGP is the long term conservation of coastal wetland ecosystems. In FY 2015, the NCWCGP will fund 25 individual projects encompassing 11,353 acres of coastal habitat.The Final Rule establishing the requirements for participation in the NCWCGP was published in the Federal Register July 30, 2002 (67 FR 49264). The program regulations are in 50 CFR 84. Additional information about the Program is available online at http://www.fws.gov/coastal/CoastalGrants. Before applying for a grant, please carefully review this entire announcement, Attachment A, Clarification of Select Ranking Criteria in 50 CFR 84.32 and General Program Questions, and the program regulations in 50 CFR 84. Coastal wetlands are valued, in part, because they protect against flooding, help maintain water quality, and provide habitat for wildlife. Coastal environments are also important economically, generating billions of dollars annually through such industries as commercial fishing and tourism.The NCWCGP provides States with financial assistance to protect and restore these valuable resources. Projects can include (1) acquisition of a real property interest (e.g., conservation easement or fee title) in coastal lands or waters (coastal wetlands ecosystems) from willing sellers or partners for long term conservation or (2) restoration, enhancement, or management of coastal wetlands ecosystems. All projects must ensure conservation of 20 years or longer. Examples of restoration efforts that may be funded include: Restoring wetland hydrology by plugging drainage ditches, breaking tile drainage systems, installing water control structures, dike construction, or establishing historic connections with waterways, or planting native vegetation and/or removing invasive plants and animals that compete with native fish and wildlife and alter native habitats. We rank applications based on criteria published in 50 CFR 84.32.

        <Description>To help foster greater contacts between Americans and Russians, the U.S. Department of State announces the FY 2015 U.S.-Russia Peer-to-Peer Dialogue Program, which will provide grants up to $100,000 to support unique projects centered on Russian-American, peer-to-peer collaboration, including an exchange of best practices between Russians and Americans on a topic of mutual interest. Projects must be non-political in nature and focus on Russian-American peer-to-peer dialogue or people-to-people engagement on themes of mutual interest. Applicants are encouraged to incorporate innovative methodologies to accomplish program goals and foster interaction among peers. Successful projects will result in a product or outcome which enhances interaction and understanding between our two societies. The program competition and selection will be administered in two stages. In Stage One, applicants must submit a Statement of Interest (SOI), as outlined under &amp;#147;Application and Submission Information&amp;#148; below. Successful applicants from Stage One will be requested to submit a detailed proposal for consideration during Stage Two (guidelines for Stage Two will be provided via email to successful applicants). For examples of previously funded projects under the U.S.-Russia Peer-to-Peer Dialogue Program, please refer to the program website. APPLICANT ELIGIBILITY American and Russian non-commercial organizations and academic institutions (both Public and Private) are eligible to apply. A proposal must include one Russian and one American organization; a letter of intent from the proposed partner must be included with the Statement of Interest as an attachment. Commercial firms are not eligible to apply under this program. Organizations which have received a Peer-to-Peer grant in the past are not eligible to apply. Cost-sharing is encouraged, but not required. Please note: Projects that include political activity or focus primarily on academic or scientific research will not be supported. The U.S.-Russia Peer-to-Peer Dialogue Program is not intended to support core administrative funding for applicant organizations or to provide continued funding for existing, ongoing activities between two established partners. Projects must be non-political in nature and focus on Russian-American peer-to-peer dialogue or people-to-people engagement on themes of mutual interest. Applicants are encouraged to incorporate innovative methodologies to accomplish program goals and foster interaction among peers. Successful projects will result in a product or outcome which enhances interaction and understanding between our two societies. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to stimulate and expand research on the interplay of genetic and environmental factors in the genesis, course, and outcomes of substance and alcohol use disorders (SUDs). Previous work in genetic epidemiology and molecular genetics has established that SUDs are highly heritable, developmental disorders with important genetic substrates.Building on these findings, new studies using genetically informative approaches are needed to elucidate the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in developmental trajectories of SUDs and comorbid conditions, deepen and refine phenotypic definitions of SUDs, and meet the methodologic challenges of the field.Such studies hold great potential to promote understanding of the true contributions of both genetic and environmental factors to initiation, progression, comorbidity, adverse outcomes, and cessation of SUDs; to elucidate mechanisms of risk; and to enhance opportunities for translation to treatment, prevention, gene-finding and molecular studies.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to stimulate and expand research on the interplay of genetic and environmental factors in the genesis, course, and outcomes of substance and alcohol use disorders (SUDs). Previous work in genetic epidemiology and molecular genetics has established that SUDs are highly heritable, developmental disorders with important genetic substrates.Building on these findings, new studies using genetically informative approaches are needed to elucidate the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in developmental trajectories of SUDs and comorbid conditions, deepen and refine phenotypic definitions of SUDs, and meet the methodologic challenges of the field.Such studies hold great potential to promote understanding of the true contributions of both genetic and environmental factors to initiation, progression, comorbidity, adverse outcomes, and cessation of SUDs; to elucidate mechanisms of risk; and to enhance opportunities for translation to treatment, prevention, gene-finding and molecular studies.</Description>

        <Description>The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funds research leading to patient safety improvements in all settings and systems of care delivery. While many researchers have endorsed a systems model as a way of thinking about entrenched patient safety problems, there has been a scarcity of programmatic activity that actually engages in new design and systems engineering effort, and that is focused on more than singular patient safety concerns. This P30 FOA calls for the creation and utilization of Patient Safety Learning Laboratories. These learning laboratories are places and professional networks where closely related threats to patient safety can be identified, where multidisciplinary teams generate new ways of thinking with respect to the threats, and where environments are established conducive to brainstorming and rapid prototyping techniques that stimulate further thinking. Learning laboratories further enable multiple develop-test-revise iterations of promising design features and subsystems of the sort that can be found in larger-scale engineering projects. Once the closely aligned projects or subsystems are developed, integrated, and implemented as an overall working system, the ultimate function of the learning laboratory is to evaluate the system in a realistic simulated or clinical setting with its full complement of facility design, equipment, people (patients, family members, and providers), new procedures and workflow, and organizational contextual features, as appropriate. Applicants will select two to four closely related projects that focus on well-known, costly, patient safety harms in a given clinical area, and for which new and innovative design approaches are needed. While applicants will select the area of patient safety focus they consider of high significance, a flexible methodology problem analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation is provided that parallels the system development process to give an underlying structure to the four-year level of effort.</Description>

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950 (Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act), 64 Stat. 430 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 777-777m, was passed on August 9, 1950. It was modeled after the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to create a parallel program for management conservation, and restoration of fishery resources. The Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program (SFR) is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, flies and artificial baits, who pay an excise tax on these items to the U.S. Treasury. An amendment in 1984 (Wallop-Breaux Amendment) added new provisions to the Act by extending the excise tax to previously untaxed items of sport fishing equipment. SFR provides funding to restore, conserve, manage, or enhance sport fish populations and the public use and benefits from these resources; and to provide boating access to public waters.</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) and the Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), invites applications by investigators from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in basic and biomedical cancer research. The NIH recognizes a unique and compelling need to promote diversity in the NIH-funded research workforce. The purpose of this FOA is to improve the diversity of the NCI-funded research workforce by supporting and recruiting eligible investigators from groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences including individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from socially, culturally, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds that have recently and demonstrably inhibited their ability to pursue a career in health-related research. This funding opportunity will also provide a bridge to investigators that have completed their research training and may need extra time to develop a research project grant application. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Care Coordination Network Partnership Program (Care Coordination Program). The purpose of the Rural Health Care Coordination Network Partnership Program is to support the development of formal, mature rural health networks that focus on care coordination activities for the following chronic conditions: diabetes, congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Care coordination in the primary care practice involves deliberately organizing patient care activities and sharing information among all of the participants concerned with a patient&amp;#191;s care to achieve safer and more effective care. Rural Americans are unhealthier, with higher rates of chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, CHF, and COPD and have higher rates of high-risk behaviors such as smoking, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition.[1],[2],[3],[4] These high-risk behaviors cause many of the illnesses, suffering and deaths due to chronic diseases and conditions.[5] The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the high cost of health care in the U.S. bring treatment of the &amp;#191;whole&amp;#191; person to the forefront, especially as there are often psychosocial (psychological and social) issues related to chronic diseases; for example, there is a link between diabetes and depression. In addition, more mental health problems are seen in the primary care setting than other health care settings; thus, integrating behavioral health care into primary care helps address both the physical and psychosocial aspects of health and wellness. Reviews and reports from the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHRQ) have shown a positive impact from integrating a team approach to care for a variety of disease conditions.[6] Health care coordination for people living with chronic conditions is vital to providing high quality care, especially in rural areas where access to health care is an issue. The main goal of care coordination is to meet patients&amp;#191; needs and preferences in the delivery of high-quality, high-value health care. This means that the patient&amp;#191;s needs and preferences are known ahead of time and communicated at the right time to the right people; this information is used to provide safe, appropriate, and effective care to the patient. Care coordination is identified by the Institute of Medicine as a key strategy that has the potential to improve the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of the American health care system. Well-designed, targeted care coordination that is delivered to the right people can improve outcomes for everyone: patients, providers, and payers.[7] Care coordination is especially important in the changing health care landscape where payments increasingly focus on value. The ultimate goal of the program is to promote the delivery of coordinated care in the primary care setting. There are numerous developments in state health policy that support the adoption of care coordination models, including patient centered medical homes (PCMH), accountable care organizations (ACO), and enhanced health information technology (HIT) such as electronic health records (EHR) and telehealth capabilities. Care coordination strategies can be tailored for a rural community&amp;#191;s resources and challenges. Strategies may include a special emphasis on: recruiting or training personnel to assume care coordination responsibilities or supporting other staff, such as, community health workers, in taking on this role; developing new or making creative use of existing resources, such as co-locating available behavioral and primary health care services; and addressing quality improvement through innovations like telehealth or system redesign using models such as, Six Sigma or the Lean Model, for example.[8] Applicants shall develop creative and innovative approaches to address outcomes in one or more of the three pre-specified disease states, diabetes, CHF, and/or COPD, through application of care coordination strategies. Applicants shall disseminate the information regionally or nationally, including efforts by grassroots, faith-based or community-based organizations. The proposed projects should demonstrate improved outcomes. Applicants may address the prevalence and management of diabetes, CHF, and COPD conditions using innovative or evidence-based care coordination strategies, relevant to their community needs. At a minimum, networks will be asked to report on four outcome measures for each chronic condition (Type 2 Diabetes, CHF and COPD). In addition to reporting on these outcome measures, networks will be also asked to report at least three care coordination measures. Performance on those measures will be aggregated across the funded sites to measure program impact. To review the outcome measures for each chronic condition, please refer to Section IV: Application and Submission Information. To the extent possible, grantees are encouraged to bill for third party reimbursement for covered services and participate in pay-for-performance and other incentive programs[9],[10] in order to aid in the sustainability of the project. By thinking beyond the day-to-day activities and services and planning for sustainability early in the grant cycle, organizations can better position their programs for long-term sustainability and leverage the investment of federal grant dollars to maintain successful programs that improve the health of rural Americans.

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat. 917 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 669-669b, 669-669k, popularly known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 1938. The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. With broad support from sportsmen&amp;#191;s organizations, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to &amp;#191;enhance&amp;#191; existing hunter education or shooting range programs.</Description>

(a) Please note that projects that do not meet one of the protection/assistance gaps will not be considered. Proposals for activities in South Sudan must be accompanied by a letter from UNHCR showing concurrence with the proposed activities within the overall assistance program.

        <Description>The purpose of modification 000001 is to update the Program Policy Factors is Section V.C.1. of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). All other parts of the FOA remain unchanged. This FOA will establish a prominent national recognition and technical assistance program for local governments that will signal to installers and the public that a community is receptive to solar businesses and has established a supportive solar market environment. This, in turn, will reduce market barriers and lower soft costs, thus contributing to SunShot goals. The program will also assist marginal communities in improving their solar markets. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE Exchange website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE Exchange website. A User Guide for the EERE Exchange can be found on the EERE website https://eere- exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE Exchange website.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Clinic Policy and Clinical Assessment Program. The purpose of this program is to identify key policy, regulatory and clinical challenges facing Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and identify possible solutions, while also informing them and other rural stakeholders about key RHC issues, including regulatory and programmatic changes that affect care delivery in these locations. The awardee will identify gaps in knowledge among RHCs about issues such as regulatory and program compliance, billing and reimbursement, quality improvement, best practices, disease management, and care coordination, as well as ORHP and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services priorities, and will propose tools, resources, and strategies to address them. RHCs are geographically dispersed, so the proposed tools and resources should be easily accessible, including, but not limited to, listservs, conference calls, and webinars. RHCs are primary care clinics that are certified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide care in rural underserved areas. They receive reasonable cost-based Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, subject to certain conditions. RHCs must be staffed by physician assistants and/or nurse practitioners. Currently, there are more than 4,000 RHCs located in 44 states. For more information about RHCs, please visit http://www.cms.gov/Center/Provider-Type/Rural-Health-Clinics-Center.html?redirect=/center/rural.asp The health care delivery system is undergoing dramatic change, with an emphasis on finding new approaches to improve health outcomes, control costs, and improve population health. Financial incentives are moving from volume-based to value-based services, with a focus on quality of care in all settings and improving transitions of care as patients move between care settings. Within this environment, RHCs provide care to millions of rural residents, often serving as the sole health care provider in a community, and serving as the de facto safety net for rural residents. The RHCs require support to effectively participate in the changing health care environment and need to be prepared for related policy and regulatory changes.</Description>

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Uganda is seeking applications to fund one or more organizations through a Cooperative Agreement for a four-year USAID/Uganda economic growth program in Uganda. Subject to the availability of funds, USAID intends to provide approximately $10 million in total USAID funding to be allocated over the four-year period. USAID reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted and expects one award as a result of this solicitation; however, more than one award may result.The activity aims to use eco-tourism to reduce threats to biodiversity. Biodiversity conservation is the primary goal of USAID/Uganda&amp;#146;s environment program activities. The program will help develop Uganda&amp;#146;s nature-based tourism industry to deliver an improved experience for visitors and improved stewardship of the natural resources necessary to sustain Uganda&amp;#146;s economic development. Tourism revenues resulting from the enjoyment of biological diversity, often located in the world&amp;#146;s less-developed regions, are a significant source of income and employment for local communities. It is important to involve frontline communities and ensure that they learn to manage and protect natural resources, and share in the potential economic benefits of Uganda&amp;#146;s natural resources. </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this funding opportunity is to support pilot testing of natural products (i.e., botanicals, dietary supplements, and probiotics), which have sufficient early-stage data to justify further clinical testing of the product. Under this FOA, trials must be designed so that results, whether positive or negative, will provide information of high scientific utility and will support decisions about further development or testing of the natural product. The data collected should be used to fill gaps in scientific knowledge and provide the information necessary to develop a competitive full-scale clinical trial.Support will be provided for up to two years (R21 phase) for milestone-driven bioavailability and pharmacokinetic testing and assessment of the natural products biological signature or mechanism of action. Based on the results of the R21 phase, this may be followed by support of up to 3 years (R33 phase) of support for further clinical studies of the natural product. This FOA is not appropriate for support of randomized clinical trials to test or determine efficacy. Ultimately, this R21/R33 funding mechanism is intended to speed the translation of emerging basic science findings about natural products into clinical pilot testing to determine whether continued clinical research is warranted.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this funding opportunity is to support pilot testing of natural products (i.e., botanicals, dietary supplements, and probiotics), which have sufficient early-stage data to justify further clinical testing of the product. Under this FOA, trials must be designed so that results, whether positive or negative, will provide information of high scientific utility and will support decisions about further development or testing of the natural product. The data collected should be used to fill gaps in scientific knowledge and provide the information necessary to develop a competitive full-scale clinical trial.Support will be provided to confirm the link between the impact of the natural product on the biological signature (i.e., mechanism of action) and demonstrate an association between the change in the biological signature and clinical outcomes. This FOA is not appropriate for support of randomized clinical trials to test or determine efficacy. Ultimately, this R33 funding mechanism is intended to speed the translation of emerging basic science findings about natural products into clinical pilot testing to determine whether continued clinical research is warranted.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Limited Competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to continue follow-up of the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS) cohort through a collaborative cooperative agreement. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was a multi-center controlled clinical trial examining the efficacy of treatments to prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes in a population at high risk. The DPP demonstrated that either lifestyle change or the drug metformin could reduce the development of type 2 diabetes by 58% and 31%, respectively, compared with placebo. Following the end of DPP, the DPP cohort was enrolled in the DPPOS to determine the long-term effects of the DPP interventions on further diabetes development and microvascular complications. The primary purpose of this FOA is to support the DPPOS clinical centers to continue follow-up of the DPPOS cohort to examine the effectiveness of early metformin treatment on the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. RFA-DK-15-505 will support continuation of the DPPOS Biostatistics Research Center.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is issued as an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research. The Neuroscience Blueprint is a collaborative framework through which 15 NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices jointly support neuroscience-related research, with the aim of accelerating discoveries and reducing the burden of nervous system disorders (for further information, see http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/). The Neuroscience Blueprint is supporting a Lifespan Human Connectome Project (L-HCP) to extend the Human Connectome Project (HCP) (http://www.neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/connectome) to map connectivity in the developing, adult, and aging human brain. The goal of this FOA is solicit grant applications that propose to extend the experimental protocols developed through the HCP to middle-age and elderly adults to investigate the structural and functional changes that occur in the brain during typical aging. A companion FOA is soliciting applications that apply the HCP protocols to children and adolescents to explore changes that occur during typical development.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage Research Project Grant (R01) applications to pursue clinical observational (CO) studies to obtain data necessary for designing clinical trials for musculoskeletal, rheumatic, or skin diseases or conditions. Research data from observational cohort studies can enhance clinical trial design by providing essential information about disease symptoms, stages and timing of disease progression, comorbid conditions, availability of potential clinical trial participants, and outcomes that are important to patients. CO studies also can facilitate efforts to develop and/or validate objective biomarkers or subjective outcome measures for use in a future trial or trials. Applicants to this FOA are encouraged to propose studies that address significant obstacles or questions in the design of a clinical trial, such as determining the appropriate primary or secondary outcome measures, or identifying the stages of disease during which patients are most likely to respond to an intervention. Only observational studies will be supported through this FOA.</Description>

        <Description>The mission of the Office on Womens Health (OWH) is to provide national leadership and coordination to improve the health of women and girls through policy, education and innovative model programs. The Department of Health and Human Services has identified violence prevention as a major goal for improving health across several initiatives, including Healthy People. Further efforts are needed to ensure that all aspects of the health care system respond appropriately to women and girls who are victims of interpersonal violence. According to data from the CDC, women are disproportionately affected by intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and stalking; and victims experience many negative impacts and health consequences. (http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs-fact-sheet-2014.pdf; accessed January 10, 2015). Preliminary work supported by OWH highlighted the need for more collaborative violence prevention and health-related programs and projects.Previous work sponsored by OWH has illustrated the need to connect health care providers and public health programs to IPV programs. Strategies have included train-the-trainer methods, clear messaging, and development of services. OWH work also supports the importance of including geographically and ethnically diverse sites to maximize impact and social responsibility to underserved populations. Across all strategies and sites, the over-riding goal has been to develop the connection and support the linkage between systems that provide health care services and IPV programs for women. The next step is to test models that implement the linkages using robust methodologies to test interventions and evaluate programs.</Description>

        <Description>Introduction The Government of the United States, through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), is developing a $300 million compact with the Government of Benin (GOB) focused on Benin&amp;#146;s electrical power sector. The compact is expected to be signed in August 2015. In order to inform the preparation of the compact, MCC and its partner GOB agency, the Unit&amp;#233; de Coordination de la Formulation du 2eme Programme et Suivi des Reformes de MCA-Benin (UCF) invite interested companies and organizations from around the world to submit information regarding potential projects that would expand access to renewable off-grid electrical power in Benin. MCC and UCF will use the information to determine whether to design a matching grant facility to provide matching funding to a project sponsor towards the overall cost of a clean energy project in Benin. Final project selection decisions would be determined at a later date through a separate competitive grant application process to be launched following the signing of a proposed MCC compact with Benin. Signing of the compact is subject to successful negotiation by the GoB and MCC, as well as MCC Board approval of a compact. The Challenge Only one-third of Benin&amp;#146;s population of ten million has access to electrical power, with extraordinary spatial disparities - over half of urban residents have access to electricity, while only 4.5% of rural inhabitants do. Electricity consumption in Benin is below average for Africa&amp;#146;s low-income countries at 110 kWh/capita per year &amp;#150; equivalent to only 0.01% of the average for middle-income economies. In addition to limited access, there are delays in connecting new customers and the front-end cost for connection is high relative to average annual income. Benin&amp;#146;s electrical power network is characterized by high technical and commercial losses in the distribution network totaling 22%, extensive outages in distribution (planned outages, rationing and unscheduled cuts), and poor quality service Benin relies on most of its electricity from a company jointly owned by the Governments of Benin and Togo, the Communaut&amp;#233; Electrique du Benin (CEB), which is responsible for power generation and transmission. CEB in turn supplies power to Benin&amp;#146;s national distribution company, the Soci&amp;#233;t&amp;#233; B&amp;#233;ninoise d&amp;#146;Energie Electrique (SBEE). As CEB&amp;#146;s own production capacity is limited, the company has depended on imports of electricity from neighboring countries such as Ghana and Nigeria, which have not been a reliable source of supply due to growing demand in the region. Demand is also growing rapidly in Benin, having doubled in the past decade and is forecasted to double again in the next five years, only accounting for on-grid consumers. Given supply shortages to meet this growing demand, SBEE meets some of its own electricity needs using hydropower and diesel generation to supplement supply from CEB. These sources, however, have proven far from sufficient. In 2012, 99% of Benin&amp;#146;s on-grid electric energy supply of 1,065.4 GWh was imported (primarily from Nigeria), while only one percent (8.34 GWh) was provided through SBEE&amp;#146;s own thermal and hydroelectric generation assets. In addition to CEB and SBEE, there are two other major organizations in the energy sector within the Government of Benin, both of which reside in the Ministere de l&amp;#146;Energie, des Recherches Petrolieres et Minieres de l&amp;#146;Eau et du D&amp;#233;veloppment des Energies Renouvelable (MERPMEDER). These include the newly-established Agence Nationale des Energies Renouvelables (ANADER) and Agence Beninoise de l&amp;#146;Energie Renouvelable et de la Maitrise de l&amp;#146;Energie (ABERME). Having only been established in June 2014, ANADER is still a new organization, but the intent of the Government of Benin is for it to ultimately be responsible for all projects related to clean energy and off-grid electrification. ABERME is the entity responsible for rural electrification and has previously implemented energy efficiency and clean energy projects, though in the future its responsibilities will likely center around on-grid rural electrification. Due to growing concerns with energy shortfalls the Government of Benin is pursuing new domestic sources of generation, both to service on- and off-grid customers. The MCC Benin compact will assist Benin in the development of both on and off-grid solutions to meet the country&amp;#146;s power shortfalls. The solution MCC and UCF are interested in potential project information and concepts to address one of the following potential focus areas: 1. Critical public infrastructure such as water treatment and pumping facilities, hospitals, health clinics, courts, universities, schools, and ports. The focus of these projects would be to install relevant equipment/systems along with an administrative framework for operations, maintenance, and replacement of the equipment/systems with the concerned organization. Examples could include solar PV systems with storage, biomass generation units, mini-hydro plants, etc. 2. Community and commune-level electricity generation and distribution to provide relevant equipment/systems along with an administrative framework for a mini-grid, including billing, operations, maintenance, and replacement of the equipment/systems with the concerned communities or communes. Examples could include solar PV systems with storage, biomass generation units, mini-hydro plants, etc. along with relevant distribution infrastructure. While MCC and UCF will not provide funding for productive uses of electrical power (e.g. drip irrigation, refrigerated storage, or other agricultural processing equipment), project sponsors may count resources dedicated towards those purposes towards the matching fund requirement. 3. Household-level generation and storage. Household-level systems such as pay as you go solar PV kits have expanded dramatically in recent years in many countries. The focus of these projects would be to create viable businesses in Benin that import, install and repair household level PV and other technologies available on the marketplace. Cellular penetration in Benin is very high and mobile banking is growing very rapidly, providing opportunities for entrepreneurs entering the market with lease to own, pay as you go, franchising or other business models. 4. Energy efficiency measures. Energy efficient appliances and equipment reduce lifecycle costs for electricity customers and reduce demands on the grid. The focus of this project would be to develop and deploy business models for the deployment of energy efficient appliances and other equipment for government, household, and commercial users. Nature and range of possible funding If the facility is included in a potential compact, it is expected that awards thereunder will be in the form of a matching cash grant to a project sponsor for the purpose of sharing in half the total cost of the project. It is further expected that the project sponsor will provide at least half (50%) of the total project cost in cash or through in-kind services. For projects sponsored by not-for-profit organizations, faith-based organizations, academic institutions, rural communities and communes, the cost sharing will be at least 35% of the total capital cost of the project from the sponsor and 65% of the total capital cost of the project from the facility. Although the range of any grant under a proposed grant facility would be determined at a later date, it is currently contemplated that grant awards could range in size from $100,000 to $5 million, though the final range will be determined based in part on information received as part of this Call for Ideas. Who may submit information The project sponsor submitting information may be from any category of organizations or institutions, US or non-US, with operations or intent to establish operations in Benin. Specific categories of organizations, institutions, and entrepreneurs that are welcome to respond include but are not limited to: educational, industrial, not-for-profit and for-profit organizations, faith-based organizations, academic institutions, civic groups, regional organizations, international organizations, bilateral or multilateral donors, public agency or enterprise of the Government of Benin, vendors, start-ups, and project developers. Interested parties may submit information for more than one project/concept/idea. Information requested Information requested in this announcement should total no more than five pages and address the following: &amp;#149; A brief description of the proposed project, including the objective, nature of the proposed activities (e.g., technical assistance, capital works design and construction, operations and maintenance) &amp;#149; Anticipated benefits and costs (may use data from similar countries if Benin-specific data is unavailable) &amp;#149; Number and description of beneficiaries, if known &amp;#149; Geographic location, if known &amp;#149; Local partner organizations, if applicable &amp;#149; Description of approach to sustainability, such as summary of business plan or organizational model for recuperating costs and performing operations, maintenance and replacement of equipment. A business plan should describe o The approach to collecting revenue, marketing, and other aspects of business operations o The approach for ensuring an organization has the technical and resource capacity to conduct or procure operations, maintenance and replacement of the equipment o How the project can over the long term be replicated at scale and how grants may be phased out over time o Where applicable, how costs may be decreased with innovation, future improvements in technology or economies of scale and how revenues may increase over time with improvements in project output or productivity &amp;#149; Description of technologies to be employed such as: o Solar photovoltaic systems with or without smart grid or thermal or concentrated solar technologies o Biomass/biogas from organic waste or vegetative materials o Hydropower including run of river systems and storage or pumped storage o Wind power systems o Hybrid or other non-fossil fuel power generation technologies The information may be provided in English or French.

Congress created the Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus Program (hereinafter referred to as the Campus Program) in recognition of the unique issues and challenges that colleges and universities face in preventing and responding to these crimes. This program is authorized by 42 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 14045b. The Campus Program encourages a comprehensive coordinated community approach that enhances victim safety, provides services for victims and supports efforts to hold offenders accountable. The funding supports activities that develop and strengthen victim services and strategies to prevent, investigate, respond to and prosecute these crimes. The development of campus-wide coordinated responses involving campus victim service providers, law enforcement officers, health providers, housing officials, administrators, student leaders, faith-based leaders, representatives from student organizations, and disciplinary board members is critical. To be effective, campus responses must also link to local off-campus criminal justice agencies and service providers, including local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors&amp;#146; offices, courts, and nonprofit, nongovernmental victim advocacy and victim services organizations.Campuses are encouraged to create or revitalize large-scale efforts that treat sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking as serious offenses by adopting policies and protocols, developing victim services and programs that prioritize victim safety, ensuring offender accountability, and implementing effective prevention approaches. Colleges and universities should demonstrate to every student that these crimes will not be tolerated, that perpetrators will face serious consequences, and that holistic services are available for victims.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in eradication of argentine ants from San Clemente Island (SCI) and implement a monitoring program to detect future infestations for bio-security. There are thirteen known ant species on SCI, including the non-native Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) and twelve native ant species, four of which are Channel Island endemics (Holway &amp;amp; Ward 2011). Argentine ants are an extremely invasive ant species that has spread worldwide resulting in detrimental ecological impacts. This invasive species alters biological communities by negatively affecting native ant populations, other invertebrates, plants and pollinators, terrestrial vertebrates and birds. Argentine ants can cause avian nest failure either directly by predation of nestlings or indirectly by reducing arthropod abundance in foraging areas. SCI supports three federally listed bird species, a listed lizard, and numerous endemic species; eradication of Argentine ants may be critical to recovery and delisting of threatened or endangered species at SCI.</Description>

        <Description>Funding is available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anadromous Fish Restoration Program to develop and implement a program to monitor the egg, larvae, and juvenile life stages of Chinook salmon and steelhead in the lower American River (LAR), Sacramento County, California. The purpose of the work is to assess the effectiveness of Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) habitat restoration actions on Chinook salmon and steelhead populations in the LAR and to provide guidance for future actions. The fundamental objective for this project is to assess the effectiveness of Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) habitat restoration actions on Chinook salmon and steelhead populations in the LAR and to provide guidance for future actions. The project will design and implement a monitoring program that will inform what restoration actions are needed to maximize the number and condition of fall-run Chinook salmon smolts leaving the American River and evaluate the effectiveness of habitat restoration projects. In-river, life-stage specific population parameters in addition to adult spawning success that may be influenced by habitat restoration include egg viability, fry and juvenile growth and survival, and smolt outmigration timing. The purpose of this project is to: &amp;#149; assess the effects of gravel augmentation, habitat restoration, and other program actions on Chinook salmon and steelhead populations in the LAR; &amp;#149; identify population &amp;#147;bottlenecks&amp;#148; that may occur during salmonid egg, larval, and juvenile life stages; &amp;#149; evaluate the relative benefit of no action versus that of small or large gravel injection, gravel placement, or floodplain enhancement actions; and &amp;#149; consider the effects of alternate flow regimes and time frames (e.g., 1, 5, and 10 years) on restoration action outcomes </Description>

        <Description>The National Council on Disability is interested in evaluating effective communication for Americans with disabilities before, during, and after emergencies.Since 2005, NCD has noted in multiple publications the need for research and evidence-based knowledge to support national efforts on emergency management and disability. As a result of this work, NCD was given responsibilities regarding emergency management in the Post-Katrina Emergency Reform Act (PKEMRA). As part of these responsibilities, NCD recently participated in two events that illustrated the need to place additional emphasis on effective communication. In September 2011, NCD held an all-day meeting with FEMA&amp;#146;s Regional Disability Integration Specialists, where the agencies discussed the current state of emergency management as well as barriers and facilitators to the inclusion of people with disabilities. Also in September 2011, NCD cosponsored FEMA&amp;#146;s Getting Real II conference, which highlighted promising practices in inclusive emergency management. During both meetings, issues related to effective communication were raised as a critical area needing attention.Effective communication throughout all phases of emergency management (preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation) must be fully accessible to all people with disabilities. NCD is interested in examining the accessibility of communication before, during, and after emergencies for people with sensory disabilities (deaf, hard of hearing, blind, low-vision, deaf-blind, and speech disabilities) as well as people with intellectual or developmental disabilities and people with psychiatric disabilities. NCD will document successful practices and identify facilitators and barriers to providing effective emergency-related communication. Through this study, NCD will aim to educate emergency planners, as well as state and local officials, about how to provide effective communication to all people with disabilities before, during, and after emergencies. A key piece of this research will include a thorough examination of the current state of affairs concerning the accessibility of emergency-related communication. This analysis must address all phases of emergency management and be cross-disability and demonstrate sensitivity to diversity matters/issues that can impact outreach and response. The research must include what is occurring in this area on both the national and state level.NCD proposes to collect information on the experiences of people with disabilities as it relates to emergency-related communication; highlight accomplishments, and determine recommendations for how emergency communication accessibility for people with disabilities can be improved.NCD is also interested in looking at current disability laws and regulations as they pertain to effective communication before, during, and after emergencies, the enforcement of these laws and regulations, and whether further laws and/or regulations should be promulgated.NCD hopes the information in this report will motivate and drive emergency planners to improve their ability to provide effective communication for people with disabilities. </Description>

        <Description>The Coastal Program is a voluntary, incentive-based program that provides technical and financial assistance to coastal communities and landowners to restore and protect fish and wildlife habitat on public and private lands. The Coastal Program is not a conventional grants program, in that it does not solicit projects through a request for proposals. Instead, projects are developed strategically, in coordination with partners, and with substantial involvement from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) field biologists. The Coastal Program - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding is available to coastal areas within the U.S. portion of the Great Lakes basin which includes parts of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Substantial involvement on the part of the Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the activities to be funded. In particular, the Service will be/expects to be responsible for the following: Service biologists will be directly involved in developing and implementing projects with partners. This could include helping plan and implement specific project activities, completing permitting and other environmental compliance, working with contractors and partners in implementing on-the-ground actions, and coordinating/facilitating meetings.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligibility for this program is statutorily limited to public entities such as: State governments; Indian or tribal organizations (as defined in Section 4[b] and Section 4[c] of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act); Governmental units within political subdivisions of a state, such as a county, city or town; District of Columbia government; and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (now Palau, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands). Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities.  Note: Public entities that are currently receiving funds under the Implementation Cooperative Agreements for the Expansion of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program (System of Care Expansion Implementation Cooperative Agreements), RFA SM-12-003 and RFA SM-14-002, are not eligible to apply under this funding announcement.  State governments, Indian or tribal organizations; and Governmental units within political subdivisions of a state which have already received one of the grants are not eligible to apply. Eligible State applicants for this grant may not choose local jurisdictions that have received an implementation expansion grant previously. If a state applicant submits an application with a local jurisdiction that is already a grantee, this application will be screened out.     Indian or tribal organizations, and governmental units within political subdivisions of a state, may apply as long as they have not received this grant previously.       If a state applicant identifies a local jurisdiction that has also submitted a separate application, SAMHSA will score both. The highest priority scored application will be awarded should both applications be in the fundable range.  SAMHSA is limiting eligibility in order to expand the number of states, jurisdictions and localities within a state, political subdivision, tribe, tribal organization or territory that wish to adopt and expand the SOC approach.

        <Description>The purpose of this program is to improve mental health outcomes for children and youth (birth to 21 years of age) with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families. This program will support the wide scale operation, expansion and integration of the system of care (SOC) approach by creating sustainable infrastructure and services that are required as part of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances (also known as the Children&amp;#146;s Mental Health Initiative or CMHI).This cooperative agreement will support the provision of mental health and related recovery support services to children and youth with serious emotional disturbances. and those with early signs and symptoms of serious mental illness including first episode psychosis, and their families. The SOC Expansion and Sustainability Cooperative Agreements will build upon progress made in developing comprehensive systems of care across the country by focusing on sustainable financing, cross-agency collaboration, the creation of policy and infrastructure, and the development and implementation of evidence-based and evidence-informed services and supports. Other activities supported will include the implementation of systemic changes, training, and workforce development. The Children&amp;#146;s Mental Health Initiative (CMHI) provides an excellent example of SAMHSA&amp;#146;s Theory of Change (http://store.samhsa.gov/product/PEP14-LEADCHANGE2). Based on data demonstrating improved outcomes for children, youth and families, service system improvements, and a positive return on investment, CMHI has been successful in moving the system of care approach from a demonstration program towards a more wide-scale adoption of the system of care values and principles. The goal is to continue these efforts to ensure that this approach becomes the primary way in which mental health services for children and youth with SED are delivered throughout the nation. The System of Care Expansion and Sustainability Cooperative Agreements closely aligns with SAMHSA&amp;#146;s Recovery Support Strategic Initiative (http://www.samhsa.gov/about-us/strategic-initiatives). In addition, this program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix G &amp;#150; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.)System of Care (SOC) Expansion and Sustainability Cooperative Agreements are authorized under Sections 561-565 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration&amp;#146;s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) are accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals for States-Enhancement (CABHI-States-Enhancement) grants. The purpose of this jointly funded program is for states that received CABHI-States grants in FY 2013 and FY 2014 to further develop, enhance and/or expand infrastructure and treatment service systems. The funding for this enhancement grant must be used for new activities and should not supplant funding received under the original grant. These funds are to be used to expand and/or enhance the scope of the project funded under the original grant. The enhancement and/or expansion will increase capacity to provide accessible, effective, comprehensive, coordinated/integrated, and evidence-based treatment services; permanent supportive housing; peer supports; and other recovery supports to: &amp;#149; Individuals who experience chronic homelessness and have substance use disorders, serious mental illnesses (SMI), or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders; and/or &amp;#149; Veterans who experience homelessness/chronic homelessness and have substance use disorders, SMI, or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. As a result of this program, SAMHSA seeks to: 1) improve statewide strategies to address planning and coordination of behavioral health and primary care services, and permanent housing to reduce homelessness; 2) increase the number of individuals, residing in permanent housing, who receive behavioral health treatment and recovery support services; and 3) increase the number of individuals placed in permanent housing and enrolled in Medicaid and other mainstream benefits (e.g., Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability Insurance [SSI/SSDI], Temporary Assistance for Needy Families [TANF], Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP]). The goal of the CABHI-States-Enhancement program is to ensure, through state and local planning and service delivery, that individuals who experience chronic homelessness and have substance use disorders, SMI, or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, and/or veterans who experience homelessness/chronic homelessness and have substance use disorders, SMI, or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders (hereinafter referred to as &amp;#147;population(s) of focus&amp;#148;) receive access to sustainable permanent supportive housing, treatment, recovery supports, and Medicaid and other mainstream benefits. To achieve this goal, SAMHSA will continue to support three primary types of activities: 1. Build upon the current statewide plan to enhance sustained partnerships across public health and housing systems that will result in short- and long-term strategies to support those experiencing homelessness who have behavioral health issues. 2. Expand delivery of behavioral health, housing support, peer, and other recovery-oriented services. 3. Enhance and/or expand assistance to the state Medicaid eligibility agency in developing a streamlined application process for the population(s) of focus and assistance to providers (e.g., alcohol and drug treatment facilities, homeless service providers) seeking to become qualified Medicaid providers; to engage and enroll eligible persons constituting the population(s) of focus in Medicaid and other mainstream benefit programs (e.g., SSI/SSDI, TANF, SNAP). The CABHI-States grant program closely aligns with SAMHSA&amp;#146;s Strategic Initiative on Recovery Support. For more information on SAMHSA&amp;#146;s six strategic initiatives, you can visit http://www.samhsa.gov/about-us/strategic-initiatives. The CABHI-States-Enhancement program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix G &amp;#150; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities). CABHI-States-Enhancement is one of SAMHSA&amp;#146;s services grant programs. SAMHSA intends that its services grants result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the 4th month of the project at the latest. CABHI-States-Enhancement grants are authorized under Section 509 and 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. The combination of these authorities permits SAMHSA to announce and administer this jointly funded grant program as it is described in this document. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD and Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA. </Description>

        <Description>MODIFICATIONS In the appendix, the Basic Center Program Fiscal Year 2015 Allocation By State chart was deleted and replaced with a message titled, &amp;#8220;Estimated State Allocation&amp;quot;. The message reads that the Basic Center Program 2015 Estimated State Allocations chart can be found by accessing https://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/fysb/resource/bcp-2015-estimated-state-allocations. In Section II, the reference to Appendix A has been updated to match the modified text. In Section IV.3, the deadline for applications has been extended two days and is listed as April 13, 2015. The Administration for Children and Families&amp;apos; (ACF), Administration on Children, Youth and Families&amp;apos; (ACYF), Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) will award funding for the Basic Center Program (BCP). The purpose of the BCP is to provide an alternative for runaway and homeless youth who might otherwise end up with law enforcement or in the child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems. The BCP works to establish or strengthen community-based programs that meet the immediate needs of runaway and homeless youth and their families. The programs provide youth up to age 18 years with emergency shelter, food, clothing, counseling and referrals for health care. Most basic centers can provide 21 days of shelter for up to 20 youth at a time. There are exceptions for jurisdictions that have different standards for licensing. Basic Centers seek to reunite young people with their families, whenever possible, or to locate appropriate alternative placements. Services will include: street-based services; home-based services for families with youth at risk of separation from the family; drug abuse education and prevention services; and at the request of runaway and homeless youth, testing for sexually transmitted infections.</Description>

        <Description>The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program was created by the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-20). DFC Mentoring grants were established as a component of the DFC Support Program when the program was reauthorized in 2001 (Public Law 107-82, 115 Stat. 814). The DFC Mentoring Program was also included in the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-469). The primary goal of the DFC Mentoring Program is to assist newly forming coalitions in becoming eligible to apply for DFC funding on their own.</Description>

        <Description>Notice of Intent to fund Casitas Municipal Water District for Recreation Area Improvements. OVERVIEW The proposed agreement will continue (R11AC20123) to build upon previous improvements and strive to maintain the level of maintenance required for the heavy-use recreation area. Public use facilities receive heavy visitor traffic during the peak summer months, which wears on the infrastructure of the park. This includes road damage, on-going boat inspections for invasive water species and playground upkeep that requires yearly maintenance. Front-Entrance replacement project is nearing completion, with Security Kiosks and additional vehicle entrance lane requirements remaining to be completed. These objectives need to be met in order for the Recreation Area to adequately meet its planned improved operation for public use of the area. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Casitas Recreation Area has requested continued funding for its State mandated Quagga Mussle program, for continuing the yearly repaving of area roads, water park improvements and front entrance upgrades. The initial funds are designed to be used to complete the Front Entrance structure that has been under construction for the past 2 years. Additional requests will fund on-going projects, all subject to Reclamation funds being made available for improvements requested. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#150; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#150; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#150; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#146; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#150; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#150; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS Single Source Justification Description: Single source justification was used in this proposal because Casitas Lake Recreation is operated through a Management Agreement between Reclamation and Casitas Municipal Water District. (11-L-L-20-0216). That Agreement states that the &amp;#147;Administration, Operation, Maintenance, and Development of Recreation uses and Facilities shall be managed by Casitas for Reclamation, for the term of the Agreement. Casitas operates all land around the facility and delivers water to Agriculture and Municipal and Industrial (M&amp;amp;I) users in the immediate area of the recreation facility. Casitas has a maintenance yard within 2 miles of the Park and maintains all water and electrical supplies for the Parks infrastructure. All equipment needed to operate a recreational facility is conveniently located 3 miles from the Park entrance; this reduces mileage to the equipment and facilitates the job of getting equipment to the job site in a timely manner. Casitas Municipal Water District has managed the Area for Reclamation since 1958. In February of 2010, Reclamation issued a Final Resource Management Plan (RMP)/Environmental Impact Statement. This document stated that &amp;#145;Implementing the RMP management actions will be the primary responsibility of the managing partner&amp;#148;. Casitas has been the Managing Partner since 1958 and has distinct and adequate background to continue in that capacity and to administer financial assistance when required. STATUTORY AUTHORITY The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is proposing to enter into this agreement on a sole source basis. This document, Notice of Intent, sets forth the justification: P.L. 89-72, Federal Water Project Recreation Act, July 9, 1965, Section 1, Section 3(b)(1), Section 3(c)(1). The following section, provided in full text, authorizes Reclamation to award this financial assistance agreement: </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for Early Detection of Vision Problems in Young Children. The purpose of this grant program is to increase the detection and diagnosis of visual impairment in children aged five (5) years and younger in five (5) States by enhancing the capacity of the State public health agencies to use and apply quality improvement principles and practices to implement universal vision screening for preschool-aged children. Funds will be provided to a single entity to convene a learning collaborative comprised of five States to work together jointly to identify challenges, interventions, implementation, and measurement related to implementing universal vision screening for preschool-aged children. To facilitate collaborative learning and quality improvement efforts, the awardee may ask each of the five participating States to consider forming a vision screening quality improvement team. The optimal team would include representatives from the State Title V program, State early childhood and education programs, State health surveillance and information systems (e.g., immunization registry), community health centers, pediatric primary and vision specialty care, and family organizations. The awardee may convene the State teams to apply rapid test cycles to increase coordination among the relevant State agencies, providers, and community organizations to support the tracking, disseminating, and spreading of innovative and promising practices necessary to achieve the program purpose. Program Aim: By 2018, increase by 20 percent over 2011-2012 levels, the proportion of children aged five (5) years and younger who receive vision screening and diagnosis in five (5) States according to the National Survey of Children&amp;#191;s Health measure. http://www.childhealthdata.org/learn/NSCH To accomplish the program purpose and aim, it is expected the awardee will: &amp;#183; Establish a multidisciplinary project advisory group made up of stakeholders including families and experts who have specialty background and experience in vision screening and diagnosis; &amp;#183; Provide opportunities including a sufficient number of learning sessions, for participating States to dialogue, share experiences, and learn from each other and national experts; &amp;#183; Establish an online platform to facilitate communication, learning, and knowledge transfer across State teams. Provide to participating State teams technical assistance in applying quality improvement methodologies to achieve the following: o strengthen Statewide partnerships and collaboration among key stakeholders, including families, pediatric primary and specialty care clinicians, early childhood and education programs; o address access to screening and diagnosis in hard to reach communities, including rural and Tribal communities and underserved populations; o identify a strategy for tracking and reporting screening results; develop a balance of measures such as outcome, process and balancing for monitoring progress; and provide a plan for dissemination and diffusion of promising practices.</Description>

        <Description>Today, in communities across the country, young people are living on the streets after running from or being asked to leave homes characterized by abuse, neglect, or parental drug and alcohol abuse. Once on the streets, such youth are at risk of being sexually exploited or abused by adults for pleasure or profit. In addition, youth may engage in shoplifting, survival sex, or drug dealing in order to provide for their basic needs. Since 1996, SOP has been aiding this population by funding grantees to provide street-based services to runaway, homeless, and street youth who have been subjected to, or are at risk of being subjected to, sexual abuse, prostitution, or sexual exploitation. These services, which are provided in areas where street youth congregate, are designed to assist such youth in making healthy choices regarding where they live and how they behave.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications that propose studies of the mechanism of action of a combination of two or more vaccine adjuvants (combination adjuvant). Adjuvants that are used in these studies must already have shown immune boosting activity when used individually in licensed or unlicensed vaccines (e.g. experimental or candidate vaccines). The purpose of this FOA is to build upon the investment the NIAID has already made into adjuvant research, by combining previously identified and characterized adjuvants and characterizing their immune stimulating activity. The Cooperative Agreement grant mechanism allows for coordination of these research efforts with NIAIDs overall adjuvant research objectives. The long-term goal is to promote the development of novel adjuvant combinations which will improve the immunogenicity of vaccines while addressing concerns related to reactogenicity. </Description>

        <Description>The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (WALCC) promotes coordination, dissemination, and development of applied science to inform landscape level conservation, including terrestrial-marine linkages, in the face of landscape scale stressors, focusing on climate change. The WALCC is seeking project ideas related to Coastal Storms and their Impacts in western Alaska for potential funding in 2012. Total available funding is uncertain at this time, however, the WALCC may have up to $1 Million dollars to distribute for projects in 2012 and decisions will need to be made by early April to distribute funds. This will be the first of a two-year program funding multiple projects on this topic (The proposed 2013 announcement will continue to focus on coastal storms and their impacts though the emphasis areas may differ from the four in this announcement). Successful projects will demonstrate how the WALCC adds value to existing efforts in western Alaska and helps partners address shared science needs. Proposals supported by the program are intended to produce both short term results and longer term benefits to an array of stakeholders. We are seeking proposals in four topic areas of science needs related to Coastal Storms and their Impacts in western Alaska: 1) Shorefast ice dynamics; 2) Local involvement in monitoring coastal dynamics 3) Effects of changes in coastal storms on coastal biological resources (including subsistence resources and habitats) and 4) Opportunities to leverage deployment of instrumentation or data collection. While we are interested in proposals that cover wide geographic areas of the WALCC, we recognize that some proposals will focus on smaller geographic areas to develop, test or demonstrate methodology or applications. Please follow the guidance in the attached document &amp;quot;WALCC 2012RFP Guidance_13012.doc&amp;quot; for details and instructions about responding to this RFP. For more information about the Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative, please go to the website at http://www.arcus.org/western-alaska-lcc. There are two webinars scheduled to respond to questions about this RFP. The webinars are scheduled for February 3rd, 2012 at 11:00am Alaska Standard Time (AST) and at February 8th at 1:00pm AST. Please see the WALCC website for connection information. </Description>

        <Description>The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites applications for ancillary studies that will further our understanding of the unique clinical and biomarker signatures of premanifest or prodromal Huntington&amp;apos;s disease (HD) through coordination with the NINDS-funded Neurobiological Predictors of Huntington&amp;apos;s Disease (PREDICT-HD) study. The PREDICT-HD study is an international 32-site observational study of persons at-risk for HD, and includes clinical and biospecimen resources from 800 premanifest HD participants and 200 healthy control subjects. Extensive clinical data including UHDRS motor examination, cognitive and neuropsychiatric assessments, and structural MRI imaging have been collected over a ten-year time frame, with a subset of these data accessible through the dbGaP website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/study.cgi?study_id=phs000222.v1.p1. </Description>

        <Description>With this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the NIH solicits applications that propose to conduct ancillary studies intended to facilitate incorporation of PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) domains into ongoing clinical projects in patient populations that represent the NIH portfolio of diseases (http://www.nih.gov). The ongoing project can be a clinical trial, observational study or patient care population that can provide a sufficient cohort of well-characterized patients and has an existing infrastructure that can facilitate data collection and subsequent analysis. In particular, NIH invites applications focusing on outcomes research to use PROMIS domains and encourages collaborative approaches and data-sharing with the PROMIS Network contributing to the further validation, testing, and evaluation of the existing PROMIS item banks in these populations. </Description>

        <Description>From coral reefs and lowland rainforests to pine savannas, grasslands and high mountain forest, Central America is home to some of the richest forest and marine ecosystems on earth. Although the region contains less than one percent of the world&amp;apos;s land surface, because of the variety of its habitats and its role as a bridge between North and South America, it possesses a disproportionate share about 7 percent of our planet&amp;apos;s biodiversity. Unfortunately, despite tremendous progress over the last two decades, Central America remains one of the most threatened biodiversity hotspots due to one of the highest land conversion and deforestation rates in both Latin America and the world.</Description>

        <Description>National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them. These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation. The Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm National Heritage Area (KMTANHA) was established in 2009 through P.L. 111-11, Section 8010 (hereinafter &amp;#191;Act&amp;#191;) which directs the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter &amp;#191;Secretary&amp;#191;) to provide financial assistance to the heritage area&amp;#191;s management entity, the Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm Corridor Communities Association (hereinafter &amp;#191;Association&amp;#191;). This cooperative agreement is the required assistance instrument. </Description>

No funding has been dedicated to supporting applications submitted to this Federal Funding Opportunity, but funding may become available during the year. Section III.B. below describes how it will be announced whether funding if available, whether that funding requires matching funds or other restrictions, and other funding details. Awards will be made under this Opportunity only if funds have been announced as available. Applications received when no funding has been announced as available will be considered unsolicited and held for consideration when and if appropriate funding is announced for which the application is eligible. If no such funding is announced within six months, the application will be discarded.</Description>

        <Description>Improving and maintaining America&amp;#146;s buses and bus facilities in a good physical condition so that they can successfully accomplish their performance objectives is a key strategic goal of DOT and FTA. Subject to the availability of funds, FTA will make available approximately $650 million to improve of the condition of transit capital assets by providing financial assistance for recapitalization of buses and bus facilities. As part of the program, FTA will prioritize the replacement and rehabilitation of intermodal facilities that support the connection of bus service with multiple modes of transportation, including but not limited to: rail, ferry, intercity bus and private transportation providers. In order to be eligible for funding, intermodal facilities must have adjacent connectivity with bus service. In addition, FTA will prioritize funding for the development and implementation of new, or improvement of existing, transit asset management systems. Public transportation asset management means a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, and improving physical assets with a focus on both engineering and economic analysis to identify a structured sequence of maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement actions that will achieve and sustain a desired state of good repair over the lifecycle of the assets at minimum possible cost.

        <Description>The mission of the NEH Office of Challenge Grants is to advance knowledge and understanding in the humanities by strengthening the institutional base of humanities teaching, scholarly research, public programming, and other humanities activities. Challenge grants are capacity-building grants, intended to support significant humanities activities of high intellectual quality and to help institutions secure long-term support for their humanities programs. Through these grants many organizations and institutions have been able to increase their humanities capacity and secure the permanent support of an endowment. Grants may be used to establish or enhance endowments or spend-down funds that generate expendable earnings to support and enhance ongoing program activities. Challenge grants may also provide capital directly supporting the procurement of long-lasting objects, such as acquisitions for archives and collections, the purchase of equipment, and the construction or renovation of facilities needed for humanities activities. Funds spent directly must be shown to bring long-term benefits to the institution and to the humanities more broadly. Grantee institutions may also expend up to 10 percent of total grant funds (federal funds plus matching funds) to defray costs of fundraising to meet the NEH challenge. Because of the matching requirement, these NEH grants also strengthen the humanities by encouraging nonfederal sources of support. Applications are welcome from colleges and universities, museums, public libraries, research institutions, historical societies and historic sites, scholarly associations, state humanities councils, and other nonprofit humanities entities. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Improving Timeliness of Newborn Screening Diagnosis program. The purpose of the initiative is to improve the time to diagnosis and treatment for babies undergoing newborn screening (NBS) who receive a presumptive positive result. This initiative will fund one organization that will facilitate and coordinate collaborative learning and quality improvement (QI) activities by newborn screening programs using strategies that improve newborn screening timeliness. The overall goal for this initiative is to increase the number of states that meet the Secretary&amp;#191;s Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children (SACHDNC or Committee) recommendations on timeliness and the number of infants receiving timely diagnosis and treatment. The SACHDNC&amp;#191;s duties include providing advice and recommendations to the Secretary concerning grants and projects awarded under section 1109 of the PHS Act and making systematic evidence-based and peer-reviewed recommendations to the Secretary that include the heritable disorders that have the potential to significantly affect public health, for which all newborns should be screened. In order to achieve the best outcomes for babies, the Committee has discussed the following time periods to improve notification of results*: 1) Presumptive positive results for time-critical conditions should be communicated immediately to the child&amp;#191;s healthcare provider but no later than the fifth day of life. 2) All presumptive positive results for all other conditions should be communicated to the child&amp;#191;s healthcare provider as soon as possible but no later than seven (7) days of life. 3) All NBS results should be reported within seven (7) days of life. *On February 12, 2015, the DACHDNC will finalize these recommendations. The awardee is expected to use the DACHDNC&amp;#191;s final recommendations. Program activites include: &amp;#183; Facilitate the implementation of practice-based strategies and coordinate QI projects using strategies that will improve timeliness of newborn screening, diagnosis, and treatment in at least 20 state newborn screening programs. The QI process must include state NBS programs and other stakeholders to initiate QI activities in the state(s). &amp;#183; Engage public and private partners at the Federal, state, and local levels to drive QI efforts in NBS and to coordinate activities including developing and disseminating educational materials, best practices and lessons learned. &amp;#183; Provide an ongoing forum for technical assistance, education, training, communication, and collaboration between stakeholders to address the needs of state newborn screening programs with respect to timeliness, especially as it may impact health disparities within underserved populations such as rural and tribal communities. &amp;#183; Disseminate educational and training resources related to newborn screening processes. Examples include: published articles, educational materials, standard operation procedures, lessons-learned, presentations, best practices, regional and national evaluation materials and reports, technical assistance training webinars/conference calls, QI activity materials, and data collection tools and reports for measure reporting requirements. &amp;#183; Develop a data strategy that includes collecting data on NBS timeliness from participating states and supports the use of real-time data to drive continuous quality improvement. Participate in collaborative efforts with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&amp;#191;s (CDC) and National Institutes of Health&amp;#191;s (NIH), and HRSA&amp;#191;s MCHB funded programs related to newborn screening initiatives.</Description>

Subject: Conservation Innovation Grants RFP or, consult the California NRCS Web site at http://www.ca.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/cig/I. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTIONA. Legislative AuthorityThe Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program was authorized as part of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) [16 U.S.C. 3839aa-8] under Section 2509 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-246). The Secretary of Agriculture delegated the authority for the administration of EQIP and CIG to the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), who is Vice President of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). EQIP is funded and administered by NRCS under the authorities of the CCC.B. OverviewThe purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches into NRCS policy, technical manuals, standards, guides, and references, or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. Projects intended to test hypotheses do not qualify for a CIG grant. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology. It is a vehicle to stimulate development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a high likelihood of success, and that are a candidate for eventual technology transfer or institutionalization. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations.Applications will be evaluated by NRCS staff under the bulleted topics identified by the applicant (see section I.D). Applications will be screened for completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice. Incomplete applications will be eliminated from competition, and notification of elimination will be mailed to the applicant.NRCS will accept applications for single or multi-year projects, not to exceed 3 years, submitted to NRCS from eligible entities including Federally recognized Indian tribes, State and local units of government, and non-governmental organizations and individuals. Applications are accepted from all 50 States, the Caribbean Area (Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands), and the Pacific Islands Area (Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands).Complete applications received by applicable deadlines will be evaluated by a technical peer review panel based on the Criteria for Application Evaluation identified in the application instructions in section VI.B.The California CIG Program Manager will certify ranking and recommendations from the peer review panels to assure that the applications and evaluations are consistent with program objectives and policy. The California CIG Program Manager will make final recommendations to the California State Conservationist for final selection and funding decisions. Notification of successful selection or non-selection to applicants will be by mail.C. Innovative Conservation Projects or ActivitiesFor the purposes of CIG, the proposed innovative project or activity must encompass the development, field testing, evaluation, implementation, and monitoring of:&amp;#149; Conservation adoption approaches or incentive systems; or&amp;#149; Promising conservation technologies, practices, systems, procedures, or approaches; or&amp;#149; Environmental soundness with goals of environmental protection and natural resource enhancement. To be given priority consideration, the innovative project or activity should:&amp;#149; Make use of a proven technology or a technology that has been studied sufficiently to indicate a high probability for success;&amp;#149; Demonstrate and verify environmental (soil, water, air, plants, energy, and animal) effectiveness, utility, affordability, and usability of conservation technology in the field;&amp;#149; Adapt conservation technologies, practices, systems, procedures, approaches, and incentive systems to improve performance and encourage adoption; &amp;#149; Introduce conservation systems, approaches, and procedures from another geographic area or agricultural sector;&amp;#149; Adapt conservation technology, management, or incentive systems to improve performance; and&amp;#149; Demonstrate transferability of knowledge.D. California ComponentFor FY 2012, California NRCS will consider offering CIG in the following areas: Nutrient Management, Energy Conservation, Soil Health, Wildlife, and CIG Projects Assessment.Proposals that demonstrate the use of innovative technologies and/or approaches to address at least one bulleted topic listed below will be considered. Proposals must identify the most appropriate bulleted topic the innovation/technology is addressing. While NRCS is interested in receiving proposals for each bulleted topic below, special interest is placed on receiving proposals that address topics identified as a &amp;#147;Priority Need.&amp;#148; Additional topics (not listed below) may be considered at the State Conservationist&amp;#146;s discretion. If an additional topic is proposed for the State Conservationist&amp;#146;s consideration, it must be identified as such in the proposal. 1. Nutrient Management &amp;#149; Priority Need: Demonstrate and quantify the optimal combinations of nutrient source, application rate, placement, and application timing (4 Rs), as measured by impact on nutrient use efficiency and yield for one or more of the following: corn, soybeans, wheat, vegetables, hay/pasture, cotton, and/or rice. Demonstrations are encouraged that show how these optimal combinations change for one or more of the following comparisons: irrigated vs. non-irrigated management, tillage vs. reduced tillage systems, manure-amended vs. non manure-amended systems, and/or organic vs. conventional production systems.&amp;#149; Priority Need: Demonstrate application of and procedures for refining the usefulness of the Phosphorus Index for reducing P loss across a range of soil, topographic, climatic, crop, or management conditions.&amp;#149; Priority Need: Demonstrate suite(s) of conservation practices and document the conditions for their optimal use in protecting surface and ground water quality if manure was to be applied to frozen soil. &amp;#149; Demonstrate new and innovative advances in precision farming technologies related to low disturbance fertilizer injection and quantify the effects on nutrient use efficiency, yield, and producer risk.&amp;#149; Demonstrate feed management, or adoption of new or novel feedstuffs or additives, and quantify their impact on manure nutrient content. &amp;#149; Demonstrate active methods which improve on the capture of nitrogen in manure management systems and provide the opportunity to recycle the manure nitrogen in lieu of synthetic fertilizers. Examples may include: use and quantifying effectiveness of zeolite or other nitrogen adsorptive materials; use, effectiveness and economics of &amp;#147;ammonia stripping&amp;#148; technologies for animal manures; technologies that help growers deal with excess manure by means of exports or other value added products that generate income for the grower; and quantifying the impacts of innovative technologies that decrease nitrogen and phosphorus losses from the field (e.g., biofilters, wetland restoration, drainage water management).&amp;#149; Demonstrate and quantify the effectiveness of bundling conservation measures to avoid, control, and trap nutrient losses from the field. &amp;#149; Demonstrate and quantify the effectiveness of Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer products; including inhibitors, delayed release products, or biological solutions; on yield and nutrient use efficiency.&amp;#149; Demonstrate and quantify the effectiveness of methods to capture dissolved phosphorus from field runoff and subsurface drainage.&amp;#149; Demonstrate the applicability and utility of in-season nitrogen management tools for determining additional nutrient needs for a range of soils, climates and/or cropping systems. &amp;#149; Compile, summarize, and develop appropriate recommendations from the peer-reviewed literature on projects demonstrating and quantifying the application of various management practices, models, and/or other tools for increasing nitrogen use efficiency by crops. &amp;#149; Demonstrate effective outreach programs for delivering technical assistance to small dairies for implementing whole farm strategies to reduce nutrient/sediment losses. &amp;#149; Evaluate the use and cost effectiveness of technologies and/or programs that demonstrate removal of manure nutrients from areas of high concentrations of animal feeding operations to areas where they can be used for the production of agricultural crops, for example: demonstration of the ability to partition nutrients in dry poultry litter through screening; and demonstration of baling, wrapping and transport of poultry litter from high phosphorus concentration areas.&amp;#149; Demonstrate and evaluate effectiveness and economics of innovative alternative systems for managing and handling liquid manure on farms to reduce nutrient losses, for example: use of polymers and/or other chemicals to enhance solid/liquid separation and nutrient partitioning; use of geotextile bags for solid separation and nutrient partitioning of swine and/or dairy waste streams; and optimizing the use of existing separation technologies for separation efficiency and cost effectiveness.&amp;#149; Demonstrate technologies which can improve cost efficiency of transporting manure nutrients from regions of dense populations of animal agriculture operations to areas with low densities of animal operations that have demand for manure nutrients.2. Energy Conservation&amp;#149; Priority Need: Evaluate and demonstrate renewable energy systems (e.g. hydropower, solar, and/or wind) that displace fossil fuel energy and meet on-farm energy needs, while increasing energy efficiency and/or reducing environmental contaminants (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions).&amp;#149; Develop and/or demonstrate innovative implementation systems to achieve greater use of energy audits that address cropland, buildings, and equipment.&amp;#149; Demonstrate the use of immediate feedback devices such as smart meters and their effect on increasing energy conservation and efficiency in the farming sector. &amp;#149; Evaluate and demonstrate energy savings through adaptive management grazing systems that utilize grazing techniques that reduce the need for making and feeding hay, while also using manures and legumes rather than synthetic fertilizers. Deliverables should include energy lifecycle comparison of grazing and haying systems. &amp;#149; Evaluate and demonstrate energy savings through adaptive management cropping systems that utilize crop rotations that include legumes and grasses in long term no-till systems that will increase nutrient cycling through enhanced soil biological activity.&amp;#149; Develop and demonstrate innovative planning and decision aids to assess potential impacts of small on-farm renewable energy systems on wildlife and wildlife habitats and that can be used to identify appropriate sites to avoid or minimize potential adverse impacts.&amp;#149; Demonstrate the feasibility and document the relevant issues associated with using low-head hydropower turbines in surface water sources such as in-stream installations and small dams (e.g. using a flow-through or pumpback configuration).3. Soil Health&amp;#149; Priority Need: Demonstrate and quantify the impacts of cover crops, crop rotations, tillage and/or soil amendments on soil chemical, physical, and/or biological properties and their relationships with nutrient cycling, soil water availability, and plant growth.&amp;#149; Priority Need: Demonstrate and quantify the rate of increase in available soil water holding capacity as a function of soil properties, management practices (e.g. tillage, amendments, crop residue inputs), and/or climate.&amp;#149; Demonstrate innovative seeding methods of cover crops and multiple species cover crop mixes to allow for earlier establishment and increased biomass production.&amp;#149; Demonstrate the effects of grazing management of cover crop mixes on soil chemical, physical and biological properties health and water quality.&amp;#149; Demonstrate and quantify differences in nutrient and available water holding capacity of a soil system resulting from long-term no-till with cover crops compared to systems using tillage or rotational tillage.4.

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service, intention to fund the following project activities without competition. North Cascades Institute (NCI) is a nationally regarded nonprofit environmental organization maintained in the State of Washington, and is dedicated to increasing understanding and appreciation of the natural and cultural landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. The Institute&amp;apos;s mission is to conserve and restore Northwest environments through education. The Institute was created for the specific purpose of providing programs of public education and involvement in conservation, natural science, history and related fields of study, in order to foster and enhance understanding and appreciation of the North Cascades bioregion. NCI has been a valued partner of North Cascades National Park Complex (NOCA) since 1986. The two agencies have a solid track record of cooperatively developing successful, cost-effective programs that meet both park and Institute educational and budgetary goals. NCI is considered to be the lead educational partner of NOCA, providing over $2.6 million in integrated education programming during the 29-year relationship. NCI operates the residential North Cascades Environmental Learning Center, an 11.6 million dollar facility which is imbedded within NOCA as required by a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) agreement with Seattle City Light, operator of three hydroelectric dams within NOCA. The Learning Center is one of the required mitigation elements for Seattle City Light&amp;apos;s federal FERC license for continued operation of three hydroelectric reservoirs on the Skagit River. The NPS and the Institute are mutually interested and desire to cooperate in conducting interpretive activities, public education, and training related to the understanding, protection, and management of the natural and cultural resources of (1) the North Cascades ecosystem, (2) the national park system, (3) the State of Washington, and (4) other similar areas elsewhere. Headquarters for both NCI and NOCA are also co-located in the same building in Sedro-Woolley, Washington which facilitates collaboration the excellent working relationships between the staff of the two entities. See attached Notice of Intent NPS-NOI-NOCA-P15AC00207 for additional details.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this action is to notify potential applicants that a modification to this FOA has been issued. Please access Modification 0001 - Cleantech University Prize Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0001271 in EERE eXCHANGE at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has issued, on behalf of the Technology-to-Market Team in the Office of Strategic Programs, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) number DE-FOA-0001271 entitled Cleantech University Prize (Cleantech UP). The full text of the FOA is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. The mission of EERE?s Technology-to-Market Team is to aid EERE technology offices and American energy innovation stakeholders in addressing the technological and financial barriers to bring new intellectual property to market. To advance this mission, the Technology-to-Market sub-program supports a variety of commercialization and entrepreneurship activities in partnership with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories, universities, businesses, and nonprofit organizations around the country. Existing activities include the DOE National Clean Energy Business Plan Competition (NCEBPC), National Incubator Initiative for Clean Energy, Lab-Corps, and Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer Programs (SBIR/STTR); past activities include the Innovation Ecosystem Development Initiative, i6 Green Challenge, Technology Commercialization Fund, Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, and other initiatives. This FOA supports the creation of the Cleantech University Prize (Cleantech UP) program designed to address the significant barriers to creating clean energy technology start-ups, resulting from a dearth of participants entering the energy entrepreneurship pipeline. For the United States to accelerate the rate of clean energy innovation and remain competitive, a strong national infrastructure that spurs and supports high-tech entrepreneurship is critical. Traditionally, the nation?s institutions of higher education ? where there is a strong ecosystem for entrepreneurs and start-ups ? have fostered the high-tech innovation pipeline. EERE has had success in supporting initiatives to spur student entrepreneurship. Cleantech UP builds on its precursor, the DOE NCEBPC, which leveraged growing interest in energy entrepreneurship to expand student engagement in clean energy technologies. The Cleantech UP program seeks to catalyze clean energy start-up formation on college campuses, support novel training and educational opportunities that equip the next generation of energy entrepreneurs and innovators across the country, establish a national-level training program and competition for America?s top clean energy student entrepreneurs, and create a sustained and diverse community to support student entrepreneurs. It is anticipated that up to $2.5 million in DOE funds will be awarded under this FOA, subject to the availability of appropriations. The FOA includes two general Areas of Interest: Area of Interest 1: Cleantech UP Hub The Hub will be responsible for engaging the nation?s student entrepreneurs, developing an innovative training program, institutionalizing coordination within the student cleantech entrepreneurship community and the Collegiate Competitions, and executing the nation?s premier event for student cleantech entrepreneurs at the National Competition, including awarding a National Prize in coordination with DOE. The Hub will create and implement programs to address gaps in clean energy entrepreneurship training that occur early in the education pipeline. The Hub will also provide capacity building activities related to the Cleantech UP network and the general clean energy entrepreneurship ecosystem. Area of Interest 2: Cleantech UP Collegiate Competitions The Collegiate Competitions recruit teams from their universities and regions ? and potentially nationally. They prepare teams as they form and provide the early catalyst for company formation. Collegiate Competitions execute annual contests and each awards a prize for the winning cleantech company. The winners are eligible to compete in the National Competition.

        <Description>The Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Program includes 54 project grants in all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. SMP projects have made great progress in recruiting and training volunteers on Medicare errors, fraud and abuse. These volunteers empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse through outreach, counseling, and education. SMP projects actively work to disseminate SMP fraud prevention and identification information through the media, outreach campaigns, community events and also working with beneficiaries who present with complex cases such as compromised Medicare numbers. Through these efforts, beneficiaries contact the projects with inquiries and complaints regarding Medicare, Medicaid and other health care or related consumer issues. With this funding opportunity ACL anticipates awarding up to 54 new cooperative agreements using two separate funding streams. One source of funding is for the base SMP project award using Older Americans Act funding and a second is for additional SMP activities using funds from the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Act (HCFAC) funds. Applicants will be required to submit a single comprehensive budget outlining their project activities under each funding stream. ACL anticipates awarding 54 new SMP cooperative agreements to be awarded using the following breakout: Base Award - Older Americans Act funds: at a federal share of up $180,000 per budget year for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico Base Award &amp;#8211; Older Americans Act funds: at a federal share of up to $75,000 per budget year for Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands HCFAC Funds: will be allocated to successful applicants based on the total Medicare beneficiary population in each state and the amount of frontier area in each state or territory. All awards will subject to the availability of federal funds and have a project period of up to three years. One SMP grant will be awarded to cover each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. </Description>

        <Description>The DOE SunShot Initiative aims to reduce the installed costs of solar energy systems by 75% by the end of the decade, achieving grid parity for subsidy-free solar energy. SunShot drives American innovation through advanced research and development, strengthening domestic manufacturing and cutting-edge technology. If successful, the SunShot Initiative will ensure solar energy is a viable and economic source for the nation?s power needs and will significantly contribute to U.S. prosperity in the 21st century. The SunShot Incubator Program facilitates American small business? transitions from a proof of concept or business plan to domestic commercialization or deployment. The emphasis on proposed activities should be focused on addressing barriers to scale-up, commercialization, and deployment by 2015. This funding opportunity seeks to create independent businesses which can fully support themselves and continue to grow after the end of the award period. This opportunity is not for creating a product, organization, service, or other entity or item which requires continued government support. Areas of programmatic interest include but are not limited to (1) photovoltaics, (2) balance of systems, (3) power electronics, (4) concentrating solar power, (5) tools to address non-hardware costs of solar energy, (6) plug-and-play wiring and installation techniques, (7) energy storage, and (8) other proposals that bring novel, non-incremental technologies that facilitate SunShot goals in any area of solar energy deployment to market.</Description>

        <Description>NIST is soliciting applications from eligible applicants to pilot online identity solutions that embrace and advance the NSTIC vision of an Identity Ecosystem Framework. Specifically, the Federal government seeks to initiate and support pilots that address the needs of individuals, private sector organizations, and all levels of government in accordance with the NSTIC Guiding Principles that identity solutions will be (1) privacy-enhancing and voluntary, (2) secure and resilient, (3) interoperable, and (4) cost-effective and easy-to-use. Pilots that maximize their contribution to the development of the broader Identity Ecosystem Framework through public forums such as the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group (IDESG) (see page 6 of the Full Announcement/FFO document) are encouraged. NIST will fund projects that are intended to demonstrate or deploy new solutions, models, and frameworks that either do not exist or are not widely adopted in the marketplace today.</Description>

        <Description>The Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Services, (CMS) Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (Innovation Center) is interested in testing new care and payment models that have the potential to improve perinatal outcomes for women enrolled in Medicaid who are at high-risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. This initiative is a partnership between the Innovation Center and the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) and part of a larger HHS effort to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.In this four-year initiative the Innovation Center will offer a funding opportunity to eligible applicants to test the impact of providing enhanced prenatal care interventions for women with Medicaid coverage who are at high risk for having a preterm birth. The initiative will test 3 distinct approaches to providing enhanced prenatal care delivery. Each approach provides a set of specific and comprehensive interventions to improve current, traditional prenatal care delivery and address additional clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial factors that may be present during pregnancy and contribute to preterm-related poor birth outcomes.</Description>

        <Description>The African Elephant Conservation Fund is soliciting project proposals for the conservation of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) throughout its range. In 1988 Congress passed the African Elephant Conservation Act in response to the alarming decline of African elephant populations. The Act provides for the establishment of an African Elephant Conservation Fund to provide financial assistance to support projects that will enhance sustainable conservation programs to ensure effective, long-term conservation of African elephants. The African Elephant Conservation Fund supports projects that promote conservation through: Enhanced protection of at risk elephant populations; Efforts to decrease human elephant conflict;Habitat conservation and management;Protected area or reserve management in important elephant range;Strengthening local capacity to implement conservation programs;Transfrontier elephant conservation;Wildlife inspection, law enforcement, and forensics skills;Conservation education and community outreach;Applied research on elephant populations and their habitat, including surveys and monitoring;Development and execution of elephant conservation management plans; Compliance with applicable treaties and laws that prohibit or regulate the taking or trade of elephants or regulate the use and management of elephant habitat. Proposed project work should occur within the range of the African elephant, or, if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show a clear relevance to African elephant conservation. </Description>

        <Description>This publication announces the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Headquarters, Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) plans to release the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 version of the NASA Research Announcement (NRA) entitled, &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA)&amp;quot;, NNH15ZEA001N. Detailed requirements, including Proposal Due Dates will be stated in Appendices that address individual Thrust Areas. The initial release of this ROA 2015 NRA includes ones solicitation (ACP1) in Appendix A.5 for the Advanced Composites Project. Additional appendices will be posted as Amendments to the ROA NRA and will be published as requirements materialize throughout the year. The FY 2015 ROA NRA (NNH15ZEA001N) can be accessed from the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) website, (http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ ), by going first to &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot;, and then to &amp;quot;Open Solicitations&amp;quot;. Once Amendments are available interested parties can access Open Solicitations, click on NRA NNH15ZEA001N, and then click on &amp;quot;Amendments&amp;quot;. Under the FY 2015 ROA NRA ARMD will continue solicitation of foundational and systems-level research proposals for four programs within ARMD: the Advanced Air Vehicles Program, the Airspace Operations and Safety Program, the Integrated Aviation Systems Program, and the Transformative Aeronautics Concepts Program. The Advanced Air Vehicles Program (AAVP) conducts cutting-edge research that will generate innovative concepts, technologies, capabilities, and knowledge to enable revolutionary advances for a wide range of air vehicles. The Airspace Operations and Safety Program (AOSP) develops and explores fundamental concepts, algorithms, and technologies to increase throughput and efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS) safely. The Integrated Aviation Systems Program (IASP) will conduct research at an integrated system-level on promising concepts and technologies and explore/assess/demonstrate the benefits in relevant environments. The Transformative Aeronautics Concepts (TAC) Program cultivates multi-disciplinary, revolutionary concepts to enable aviation transformation and harnesses convergence in aeronautics and non-aeronautics technologies to create new opportunities in aviation. The goal of TAC is to knock down technical barriers and infuse concepts into all six ARMD strategic thrusts. The structure of the ROA NRA will require that proposals be submitted to the most relevant aeronautics program elements, which will be described in Appendices to the NRA. Specific Proposal submission deadline dates, any particular evaluation criteria, and submission points of contact will also be identified in the NRA Appendices. With the exception of government organizations and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), participation is open to all categories of organizations, including educational institutions, industry and nonprofit organizations. Proposals must be submitted electronically, and all proposers may use NASA&amp;apos;s proposal data system, NSPIRES ( http://nspires.nasaprs.com ), or Grants.gov. Each electronic proposal system places requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the electronic proposal system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Electronic proposals must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. As topic areas are released further information about specific program elements will be available. The individual Program Officers and assigned Contracting Officers will be listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element. Questions concerning general NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Susan Minor, Integration and Management Office Deputy Director, NASA Headquarters, Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, email: NASA-roa@nasa.gov . This is a broad agency announcement as specified in FAR 35.016 and NFS 1835.016. Notwithstanding the posting of this opportunity at FedBizOpps.gov, Grants.gov, or at both sites, NASA reserves the right to determine the appropriate award instrument for each proposal selected pursuant to this announcement. </Description>

Since FY 2004, EDA has administered the University Center program as a competitive multi-year program. EDA holds University Center program competitions in two of its six regional offices on a non-annual basis. In FY 2012, EDA is holding the competition in its Atlanta and Seattle Regional Offices. The Atlanta Regional Office serves: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The Seattle Regional Office serves: Alaska, Arizona, American Samoa, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Republic of Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nevada, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon, Republic of Palau, and Washington.EDA encourages the submission of applications that will create and nurture regional economic ecosystems through applied research and development, technology commercialization, and targeted activities that cultivate entrepreneurship. University Center applicants should integrate their programs across their institutions in order to leverage multiple programs that support economic development. Applicants should also demonstrate a record of success in fostering higher-skill, higher-wage job creation, as well as the ability to engage the private sector and leverage other sources of financial support.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the program is to increase CRC screening rates among an applicant-defined target population of persons 50-75 years of age within partner health system(s), defined geographical areas, or disparate populations. This program will fund implementation of EBIs and other strategies in partnership with health systems with the goal of instituting organized screening programs. In addition, this program will fund a small number of awardees to pay for direct screening and follow-up services for a limited number of individuals that belong to the Program Priority Population. The Program Priority Population to receive CRC services is defined as: persons ages 50-64 who are asymptomatic and at average risk for CRC, with inadequate or no health insurance for CRC screening, and with income at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG). Component 1: Health Systems Change to Increase and Improve Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening. To increase capacity and support organized CRC screening, awardees must partner with health systems, such as federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), health plan clinic networks, large physician practices, Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance plans that serve the applicant-defined target population to: a) implement EBIs identified in The Community Guide to increase CRC screening using supporting strategies such as small media, professional development, patient navigation, clinical-community linkages, and health informatics and b) measure outcomes for evaluation. The applicant-defined target population should have CRC screening rates lower than the state or national overall screening. To increase CRC screening and follow-up rates, awardee activities that may be funded include, but are not limited to: formally partnering with an FQHC to implement a provider-oriented intervention such as provider reminders, formally partnering with a state primary care association to create or modify FQHC operational models, or formally partnering with an insurer to implement client-oriented EBIs such as client reminders. This FOA uses the World Health Organization&amp;#8217;s definition of health systems, &amp;#8220;&amp;#8230;all the organizations, institutions, and resources that are devoted to producing health actions.&amp;#8221; This definition includes the full range of players engaged in the provision and financing of health services including the public, nonprofit, and for-profit private sectors, and voluntary organizations involved in funding or implementing health activities.Only Component 1 awardees will be eligible to receive Component 2 awards.Component 2 - CRC Screening Delivery to Improve Access to the Underserved (Optional): Awardees must use an active, existing organized screening provision program to provide CRC screening and diagnostic follow-up services for the program&amp;#8217;s priority population as described above. Applicants that cannot demonstrate an existing clinical and programmatic infrastructure and currently provide colorectal screening and follow-up services to the program&amp;#8217;s priority population will be deemed ineligible and will not be considered for Component 2 funding. CDC will evaluate awardee program-funded screening based on the achievement of CRCCP quality performance measures. CDC funds may not be used for the treatment of complications or cancers diagnosed through the program. Applicants must have a system in place to assist patients to identify and secure treatment resources when applicable. </Description>

        <Description>The NIDDK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (IBDGC) was established in July, 2002 for the purpose of identifying genes predisposing to IBD.Since its establishment, the IBDGC, in collaboration with other international IBD genetics consortia, has identified more than 100 such susceptibility loci.However, many susceptibility genes still remain to be identified, and the work of elucidating how IBD risk-associated genetic variants influence the pathophysiology of IBD has barely begun.The purpose of this FOA is to renew the IBDGC to continue the discovery of susceptibility variants, and to integrate genomic with epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and other -omic methodologies to elucidate the effects of genetic risk variants on the pathophysiology of IBD.The GRCs will serve as sites of enrollment of IBD patients, relatives, and healthy controls for these studies, and for laboratory-based studies on biological samples taken from these subjects.The PD(s)/PI(s) of the GRCs will serve as members of the Steering Committee of the IBDGC, which will be responsible for all of the IBDGC&amp;apos;s operational decisions, which will be binding upon all of the IBDGC&amp;apos;s members.</Description>

        <Description>The NIDDK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (IBDGC) was established in July, 2002 for the purpose of identifying genes predisposing to IBD.Since its establishment, the IBDGC, in collaboration with other international IBD genetics consortia, has identified more than 100 such susceptibility loci.However, many susceptibility genes still remain to be identified, and the work of elucidating how IBD risk-associated genetic variants influence the pathophysiology of IBD has barely begun.The purpose of this FOA is to renew the IBDGC to continue the discovery of susceptibility variants, and to integrate genomic with epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and other -omic methodologies to elucidate the effects of genetic risk variants on the pathophysiology of IBD.The DCC will coordinate collaboration among the Genetic Research Centers (GRCs, described in accompanying RFA-DK-11-032), enrollment of subjects into the study, submission of blood and other biological samples to centralized repositories, processing of blood samples for extraction of DNA and immortalization of cell lines, submission of clinical, genetic, and molecular data to central databases, and analyses of data, and manage the operations of the Steering Committee and other operational committees. The PD(s)/PI(s) of the DCC shall serve as a voting member of the Steering Committee of the IBDGC, and be bound by all of the operational decisions of this Committee.</Description>

        <Description>Lack of essential observations from space is currently a major limiting factor in many areas of geospace and atmospheric research. Recent advances in sensor and spacecraft technologies make it feasible to obtain key measurements from low-cost, small satellite missions. A particularly promising aspect of this development is the prospect for obtaining multi-point observations in space that are critical for addressing many outstanding problems in space and atmospheric sciences. Space-based measurements from small satellites also have great potential to advance discovery and understanding in geospace and atmospheric sciences in many other ways. To take full advantage of these developments, NSF is soliciting research proposals centered on small satellite missions.The overarching goal of the program is to support the development, construction, launch, operation, and data analysis of small satellite science missions to advance geospace and atmospheric research. Equally important, it will provide essential opportunities to train the next generation of experimental space scientists and aerospace engineers.To facilitate launch of the satellites as secondary payloads on existing missions, the focus of the program is on CubeSat-based satellites. Launch of the satellites will mainly be through the standardized CubeSat deployment system, the Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD). Launch of the P-PODS will be as auxiliary payloads on DOD, NASA, or commercial launches. This will be arranged after selection and is not part of this solicitation. This solicitation covers proposals for science missions to include satellite development, construction, testing and operation as well as data distribution and scientific analysis.</Description>

        <Description>The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) encourages Research Conference Grant (R13) applications to conduct health disparities-related meetings, workshops, and symposia. The purpose of the Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series is to bring together academic institutions/organizations and community organizations to identify opportunities for addressing health disparities through the use of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR). The objectives of meetings conducted as part of this award will be to: (1) establish and/or enhance academic-community partnerships; (2) identify community-driven research priorities, and (3) develop long-term collaborative CBPR research agendas. Thus, it is expected these partnerships will lead to grant applications for the support of CBPR projects designed to meet identified community needs. The areas of focus for these partnerships may include one or more of the following community-health issues: infant mortality; Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS); fibroid tumors; childhood, adolescent, and/or adult obesity; health literacy; techniques for outreach and information dissemination; pediatric and maternal HIV/AIDS prevention; and violence prevention.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Other Eligible Applicants include the following: The competition for this FOA is limited to the two current CAHPS III grantees.   HHS grants policy requires that the grant recipient perform a substantive role in the conduct of the planned project or program activity and not merely serve as a conduit of funds to another party or parties. If Consortium/contractual activities represent a significant portion of the overall project, the applicant must justify why the applicant organization, rather than the party(s) performing this portion of the overall project, should be the grantee and what substantive role the applicant organization will play. Justification can be provided in the Specific Aims or Research Strategy section of the PHS398 Research Plan Component sections of the SF424 (R and R) application.  There is no budget allocation guideline for determining substantial involvement; determination of substantial involvement is based on a review of the primary project activities for which grant support is provided and the organization(s) that will be performing those activities.  1.B. Eligible Individuals   Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the PD/PI is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for AHRQ support.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), Southwest Region Division of Visitor Services intends to award funds to Houston Wilderness (HW) to further the work of the Houston Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership (Urban Partnership) in Houston, Texas, by developing and maintaining partnerships, collaborative projects, joint participation in events, and other such activities that support the Urban Partnership. Since the Service lacks a National Wildlife Refuge that is physically located in Houston and Houston is a priority urban area for Service engagement, this agreement allows for close cooperation between HW and the Service in order to jointly increase the connection of Houston&amp;#191;s urban residents to conservation and the relevance of the Service. The Service will coordinate with HW in order to closely coordinate activities, review and document the Services&amp;#191; participation, and supervise Student Conservation Association Interns located in the Houston area that are working on the Urban Partnership. The Service will, with the input of HW, direct the efforts of the Urban Partnership, and be responsible for day to day operations of the efforts. HW will coordinate and host collaborative events both on and offsite that will further the efforts of the Urban Partnership. HW will actively seek and engage new partners, evaluate the relevance, and make recommendations concerning potential partners the initiative should engage. HW will prepare and submit grants and other funding opportunities and provide financial reporting and oversight for grants that may be received that support the Urban Partnership. Finally, HW agrees to provide workspace for Service staff, as well as limited administrative support. Typical collaborative activities may include, but are not limited to: 1) meetings with potential partners to further the goals of the Houston Urban Initiative; 2) outreach into various communities within the Houston metropolitan area; and 3) training and technical assistance to community organizations and or local governmental agencies. Expected outcomes would include, but are not limited to: 1) new or enhanced partnerships that increase the capacity to conduct activities related to the Partnership; 2) increased awareness and engagement from local communities where outreach activities have occurred; and 3) increased or enhanced habitat restoration and or environmental education activities.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits proposals for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service&amp;#146;s (USFWS&amp;#146;s) Avian Health and Disease Program. Recurring common eider mortality events have been occurring along the inner coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts from 1998-2011. Common eiders are a USFWS Focal Species, and Cape Cod/Nantucket Sound represents an area in which a large number of common eiders are known to migrate through, stage and overwinter. Agencies and universities have been working collaboratively with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S.D.A. Wildlife Services and the National Park Service to determine the cause of mortality and the potential implications to common eider populations. During FY11, veterinary diagnostic laboratories have determined the cause of mortality to be a previously unidentified orthomyxovirus, which has tentatively been named the Wellfleet Bay Virus (WFBV) for the location along Cape Cod in which the die-off events are concentrated. To date, common eiders are the only species to have documented disease associated with WFBV. Ongoing and proposed research to address this emerging disease issue includes several concurrent investigations. Please see attachment for a full description of the program objectives and instructions for application.</Description>

        <Description>APPLICATIONS CANNOT BE SUBMITTED THROUGH GRANTS.GOV APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH THE CNCS eGRANTS SYSTEM: https://egrants.cns.gov/espan/main/login.jsp This Notice of Funds Availability (Notice) announces the opportunity to apply for Fiscal Year 2012 awards from the Social Innovation Fund. The Social Innovation Fund is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), a federal agency that engages more than five million Americans in service through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America, and leads President Obama&amp;apos;s national call to service initiative, United We Serve. In 2009, Congress passed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (SAA), the most sweeping expansion of national service in a generation. This landmark law not only expands service opportunities, it focuses national service on key outcomes; builds the capacity of individuals, nonprofits, and communities to succeed; and encourages innovative approaches to solving problems, including through the establishment of the Social Innovation Fund. The Social Innovation Fund is itself an innovative program that awards grants to existing grantmaking institutions, or &amp;#147;intermediaries,&amp;#148; who in turn subgrant funds to promising community-based nonprofit organizations to validate and grow outcomes-focused approaches to challenges facing local communities in three priority issue areas: &amp;#149; Youth Development; &amp;#149; Economic Opportunity; and &amp;#149; Healthy Futures. The Social Innovation Fund directs resources toward increasing the evidence base, capacity and scale of the organizations it funds in order to improve the lives of people served by those organizations. The operating model of the Social Innovation Fund has been explicitly designed to advance these objectives and is distinguished by four key elements: (1) reliance on intermediaries with strong skills and track records of success to do the critical work of selecting, validating, and growing high-impact nonprofit organizations; (2) requirements that each federal dollar granted by the Social Innovation Fund be matched 1:1 by the intermediaries with money from private and other non-federal sources and that subgrants by these intermediaries be matched 1:1 by subgrantees; (3) requirements that all grantees engage each of their subgrantees in formal evaluations of program performance and impact; and (4) a commitment to knowledge sharing and other initiatives that advance social innovation more generally in the nonprofit sector. </Description>

        <Description>The Centers of Excellence program, hereafter referred to as COE, is authorized by Title VII, Section 736 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148). The amended legislation expands the funding allocation formula by identifying a methodology to distribute appropriations in excess of $40M among awarded health professions schools serving underrepresented minority (URM) individuals. This funding opportunity announcement solicits new and competitive continuation applications for the COE grant program. The COE program grantees serve as innovative resource and education centers to recruit, train, and retain URM students and faculty at health professions schools. Programs are implemented to improve information resources, clinical education, curricula, and cultural competence as they relate to minority health issues. These grantees also focus on facilitating faculty and student research on health issues particularly affecting URM groups. The ultimate goal of the program is to strengthen the national capacity to produce quality healthcare workforce whose racial and ethnic diversity is representative of the U.S. population. COE Program Legislative Requirements The COE program applicants must address each of the following seven legislative requirements in their application: -1 Competitive Applicant Pool: Develop a large competitive applicant pool through linkages with institutions of higher education, local school districts, and other community-based entities and establish an educational pipeline for health professions careers. -2 Student Performance: Establish, strengthen, or expand programs to enhance the academic performance of URM students attending the school. -3 Faculty Development: Improve the capacity of such schools to train, recruit, and retain URM faculty including payment of such stipends and fellowships as the Secretary may determine is appropriate. -4 Information Resources, Clinical Education, Curricula, and Cultural Competence: Carry out activities to improve the information resources, clinical education, curricula and cultural competence of the graduates as they relate to minority health issues. -5 Faculty/Student Research: Facilitate faculty and student research on health issues particularly affecting URM groups, including research on issues relating to the delivery of health care. -6 Student Training in Providing Health Care Services: Carry out a program that trains students of the school in providing health care services to a significant number of URM individuals at community-based health facilities that provide such health care services and are located at a site away from the main teaching facilities of the school. -7 Stipends: Provide stipends as the Secretary determines are appropriate, in amounts the Secretary determines appropriate. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Agreement is to conduct weed and erosion control on 287 acres of land at the Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station (NOFS), Flagstaff, Arizona. Weed and erosion control are identified as necessary activities for forest management in the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan for Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station. Removing non-native plants helps reduce the fuel load and risk of catastrophic wildland fires. Wildland fires pose a threat to the Navy&amp;#146;s mission, human health, and the federally threatened Mexican spotted owl.</Description>

        <Description>Recognizing the pressing need to focus on sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking against individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals due to the proliferation of such crimes, Congress authorized the Education, Training and Enhanced Services to End Violence Against and Abuse of Women with Disabilities Grant Program (Disability Grant Program) in the Violence Against Women and the Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005. The goal of the Disability Grant Program is to create sustainable change within and between organizations that results in accessible, safe and effective services for individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals who are victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and accountability for perpetrators of such crimes. Disability Grant Program funds will be used to establish and strengthen multidisciplinary collaborative relationships; increase organizational capacity to provide accessible, safe, and effective services to individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals who are victims of violence and abuse; and identify needs within the grantee&amp;#146;s organization and/or service area, and develop a plan to address those identified needs that builds a strong foundation for future work.</Description>

        <Description>The Supervised Visitation Program provides an opportunity for communities to support supervised visitation and safe exchange of children in situations involving domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, child abuse, or stalking. Studies have shown that the risk of violence is often greater for victims of domestic violence and their children after separation from an abusive situation. Even after separation, batterers often use visitation and exchange of children as an opportunity to inflict additional emotional, physical, and/or psychological abuse on victims and their children. Visitation and exchange services provided through the Supervised Visitation Program should reflect a clear understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking; the impact of domestic violence on children; and the importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking applications proposing to support the annual National Environmental Monitoring Conference (NEMC) as part of the Environmental Measurement Symposium. NEMC encompasses all environmental media (e.g., water, air, solid waste, pesticides) and all of the Environmental Protection Agency&amp;#8217;s monitoring programs with the exception of criteria pollutants in air (e.g., hazardous waste, wastewater, drinking water, source emissions, Superfund, pesticides). NEMC serves as a forum for members of the environmental community to raise the awareness of the greater community to problems and issues that they have uncovered and work with their partners across the community to solve them. It also serves as the principal forum for the community to work together to improve the quality of environmental information, facilitate the development and use of new monitoring technologies, and make compliance monitoring more cost-effective. To support these objectives, EPA anticipates providing financial support to a technically qualified organization to manage the NEMC for a five (5) year period. The awardee will be expected to be responsible for: *conference design and management (e.g., planning committee for sessions, exhibitor area, training sessions); *advertising, as allowed under 2 CFR 200.421, and outreach; *location/hotel contract negotiations; and *logistics (e.g., conference materials pre-conference, for conference, and post-conference proceedings).</Description>

        <Description>There is a lack of compendial or biorelevant in vitro drug release assays for long-acting periodontal dosage forms. These products include biodegradable microspheres, in situ forming implants and matrix tablets. The purpose of this study is to develop a bio-relevant dissolution method for a long-acting periodontal dosage form and to identify the drug product&amp;apos;s key physicochemical attributes that affect the drug dissolution behavior and bioavailability. The results from this study will help the FDA in developing recommendations to determine bioequivalence of generic long-acting periodontal drug products. </Description>

        <Description>The principal purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to find partners to support the DOI and NPS objectives to provide learning and growth experiences for American youth while they perform service learning work on projects in National Parks. NPS encourages and assists the recipient organization(s) to make every effort to recruit youth from ethnically and economically diverse communities for these positions. NPS and recipient staff will educate, encourage and challenge the interns to learn about the NPS and public lands and to develop leadership skills and career options. Participants will be encouraged and enabled to share what they learn with friends, relatives and other community members. Participants will gain hands-on experience and the NPS receives the indirect benefit of completing conservation projects by engaging the program participants in shared environmental stewardship work. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) advertises programs to engage youth in educational and service learning opportunities at North Cascades NPS Complex (NOCA) and San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH) during the summer and fall of 2015. Refer to the full announcement for details. </Description>

The objective of this study is to investigate dissolution methods, both real time and accelerated conditions, for levonorgestrel intrauterine system (5-year application) and to analyze their capability of detecting manufacturing differences, predicting in vivo performance, and to evaluate method robustness. The results from this study will help the FDA in developing recommendations to determine bioequivalence of generic intrauterine systems. </Description>

        <Description>The Fellowship Program for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan is a joint activity of the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission (JUSFC) and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Awards support research on modern Japanese society and political economy, Japan&amp;apos;s international relations, and U.S.-Japan relations. The program encourages innovative research that puts these subjects in wider regional and global contexts and is comparative and contemporary in nature. Research should contribute to scholarly knowledge or to the general public&amp;#8217;s understanding of issues of concern to Japan and the United States. Appropriate disciplines for the research include anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, linguistics, political science, psychology, public administration, and sociology. Awards usually result in articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources. The fellowships are designed for researchers with advanced language skills whose research will require use of data, sources, and documents in their original languages or whose research requires interviews onsite in direct one-on-one contact. Fellows may undertake their projects in Japan, the United States, or both, and may include work in other countries for comparative purposes. Projects may be at any stage of development. </Description>

        <Description>This AFRI Challenge Area promotes and enhances the scientific discipline of food safety, with an overall aim of protecting consumers from microbial and chemical contaminants that may occur during all stages of the food chain, from production to consumption. This requires an understanding of the interdependencies of human, animal, and ecosystem health as it pertains to foodborne pathogens. The long-term outcome for this program is to reduce foodborne illnesses and deaths by improving the safety of the food supply, which will result in reduced impacts on public health and on our economy. In order to achieve this outcome, this program will support single-function Research Projects and multi-function Integrated Research, Education, and/or Extension Projects, and Food and Agricultural Science Enhancement (FASE) Grants that address one of the Program Area Priorities (see Food Safety RFA for details).</Description>

        <Description>This AFRI Challenge Area focuses on the priority to mitigate and adapt to climate variability and change. It supports activities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase carbon sequestration in agricultural and forest production systems, and prepare the nation&amp;apos;s agriculture and forests to adapt to variable climates. The long-term outcome for this program is to reduce the use of energy, nitrogen fertilizer, and water by ten percent and increase carbon sequestration by fifteen percent through resilient agriculture and forest production systems. In order to achieve this outcome, this program will support multi-function Integrated Research, Education, and/or Extension Projects and Food and Agricultural Science Enhancement (FASE) Grants applications that address one of the Program Area Priorities (see Climate Variability and Change RFA for details).</Description>

        <Description>This cooperative agreement will establish and maintain an interdisciplinary, multicenter research forum for scientific collaboration and infrastructure building, which will provide national leadership in research designed to improve the behavioral, mental, social, and/or cognitive health and wellbeing of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. As authorized by Section 399BB of the Autism CARES Act, the research network will determine the evidence-based practices for interventions to improve the behavioral health of individuals with ASD and other developmental disabilities, develop guidelines for those interventions, and disseminate information related to such research and guidelines. The AIR-B Network will be one of two HRSA-supported research networks that will provide national leadership in research to advance the evidence base on effective interventions for children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities, with AIR-B having a focus on addressing behavioral health and wellbeing. As directed by the FY 2015 Congressional Appropriations for HRSA&amp;#8217;s Autism CARES Act programs, HRSA is broadening the scope of this funding opportunity to reflect an additional emphasis on addressing disparities in effective interventions and treatment and access to care experienced by underserved minority and rural communities. In particular, applicants should consider diverse ethnic/racial, cultural, linguistic, socioeconomic, and geographic (e.g., rural/urban, tribal) populations for whom there is little evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions, or for whom access to effective treatments is limited. Applicants should include plans to conduct multi-site research protocols on innovative treatment models, including the use of telehealth networks, to improve behavioral health interventions and treatment for ASD in underserved minority and rural communities. It is expected that the AIR-B Network will collaborate with a program serving vulnerable and underserved populations. Such collaboration will enable the Network to recruit and include these populations including minority and rural communities into Network studies. Such collaboration should also include the participation of an interdisciplinary cadre of researchers, health and related service providers, and community partners in diverse settings to broaden the scope of the Network. This FOA requires that 50% of AIR-B Network studies exclusively recruit from vulnerable and underserved populations, such as HRSA-supported program populations (e.g., Health Center Program; Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program). The AIR-B Network will use an interdisciplinary team with experience in, but not limited to, the following: multi-site research, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and experience/expertise in the study of behavioral health of children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities to: &amp;#183; Design and implement multi-site research to determine evidence-based practices for interventions that improve the behavioral health of children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities; &amp;#183; Design and implement multi-site research protocols to examine and address disparities in behavioral health interventions and treatment and access to care for children and adolescents with ASD, including innovative models to serve vulnerable and underserved minority and rural communities; &amp;#183; Recruit study participants from diverse backgrounds including racial/ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic diversity through partnership with a program serving vulnerable and underserved populations, such as the Health Center Program or the MIECHV Program; &amp;#183; Develop and/or update guidelines for those interventions developed by the Network; &amp;#183; Provide a research environment that supports the professional development and mentorship of emerging or new investigators in the field of intervention research for ASD and other developmental disabilities; &amp;#183; Disseminate information on Network activities including research and guidelines to the research community, health care professionals and service providers, communities, families of children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities and the public; &amp;#183; Develop and institute a plan to ensure dissemination of Network findings beyond peer-reviewed publications to accelerate the adoption of effective interventions, guidelines, tools, and systems management approaches into practice settings and communities; &amp;#183; Leverage network capacity to compete for grant opportunities from other Federal and private sources to support and implement network research protocols.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>To be eligible for this Limited Competition Negotiation Cooperative Agreement under this announcement, an applicant must:    A. Be an &amp;quot;Indian Tribe&amp;quot; as defined in 25 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 450b(e); a &amp;quot;Tribal Organization&amp;quot; as defined in 25 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 450b(l); or an &amp;quot;Inter-Tribal Consortium&amp;quot; as defined at 42 C.F.R. &amp;#167; 137.10.  However, Alaska Native Villages or Alaska Native Village Corporations are not eligible if they are located within the area served by an Alaska Native regional health entity.  See Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, Pub. L. No. 113-76.  By statute, the Native Village of Eyak, Eastern Aleutian Tribes, and the Council for Athabascan Tribal Governments have also been deemed Alaska Native regional health entities and therefore are eligible to apply.  Those Alaska Tribes not represented by a Self-Governance Tribal consortium Funding Agreement within their area may still be considered to participate in the TSGP.    B. Submit a Tribal resolution from the appropriate governing body of each Indian Tribe to be served by the ISDEAA Compact authorizing the submission of the Negotiation Cooperative Agreement application.  Tribal consortia applying for a TSGP Negotiation Cooperative Agreement shall submit Tribal Council resolutions from each Tribe in the consortium.  Tribal resolutions can be attached to the electronic online application. Applications by Tribal organizations will not require a specific Tribal resolution if the current Tribal resolution(s) under which they operate would encompass the proposed grant activities.         C. Demonstrate, for three fiscal years, financial stability and financial management capability.  The Indian Tribe must provide evidence that, for the three years prior to participation in Self-Governance, the Indian Tribe has had no uncorrected significant and material audit exceptions in the required annual audit of the Indian Tribe&amp;apos;s Self-Determination Contracts or Self-Governance Funding Agreements with any Federal agency.  See 25 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 458aaa-2; 42 C.F.R. &amp;#167;&amp;#167; 137.15-23.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The purpose of this Negotiation Cooperative Agreement is to provide Tribes with resources to help defray costs related to preparing for and conducting Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP) negotiations. TSGP negotiations are a dynamic, evolving, and Tribally-driven process that requires careful planning and preparation by both Tribal and Federal parties, including the sharing of precise, up-to-date information. The design of the negotiations process: 1) enables a Tribe to set its own priorities when assuming responsibility for IHS PSFAs, 2) observes the government-to-government relationship between the United States and each Tribe, and 3) involves the active participation of both Tribal and IHS representatives, including the OTSG. Because each Tribal situation is unique, a Tribe&amp;#8217;s successful transition into the TSGP, or expansion of their current program, requires focused discussions between the Federal and Tribal negotiation teams about the Tribe&amp;apos;s specific health care concerns and plans. The negotiations process has four major stages, including: 1) planning, 2) pre-negotiations, 3) negotiations, and 4) post-negotiations. Title V of the ISDEAA requires that a Tribe or Tribal organization complete a planning phase to the satisfaction of the Tribe. The planning phase must include legal and budgetary research and internal Tribal government planning and organizational preparation relating to the administration of health care programs. During pre-negotiations, the Tribal and Federal negotiation teams review and discuss issues identified during the planning phase. A draft Compact, Funding Agreement, and funding tables are developed, typically by the Tribe, and distributed to both the Tribal and Federal negotiation teams. These draft documents are used as the basis for pre- and final negotiations. Pre-negotiations provide an opportunity for the Tribe and the IHS to identify and discuss issues directly related to the Tribe&amp;apos;s Compact, Funding Agreement, and Tribal shares. At final negotiations, Tribal and Federal negotiation teams come together to determine and agree upon the terms and provisions of the Tribe&amp;apos;s Compact and Funding Agreement. The Tribal negotiation team must include a Tribal leader from the governing body. This representative may be a Tribal leader or a designee, like the Tribal Health Director. The Tribal negotiation team may also include technical and program staff, legal counsel, and other consultants. The Federal negotiations team is led by the ALN and generally includes an OTSG Program Analyst and a member of the Office of the General Counsel. It may also include other IHS staff and subject matter experts as needed. The ALN is the only member of the Federal negotiation team with delegated authority to negotiate on behalf of the IHS Director. Negotiations provide an opportunity for the Tribal and Federal negotiation teams to work together in good faith to enhance each self-governance agreement. Negotiations are not an allocation process; they provide an opportunity to mutually review and discuss budget and program issues. As issues arise, both negotiation teams work through the issues to reach agreement on the final documents. After the negotiations are complete, the Compact and Funding Agreement are signed by the authorizing Tribal official and submitted to the ALN who then reviews the final package to ensure each document accurately reflects what was negotiated. Once the ALN completes this review, the final package is submitted to the OTSG to be prepared for the IHS Director&amp;apos;s signature. After the Compact and Funding Agreement have been signed by both parties, they become legally binding and enforceable agreements. The negotiating Tribe then becomes a &amp;quot;Self-Governance Tribe,&amp;quot; and a participant in the TSGP. A Negotiation Cooperative Agreement is not a prerequisite to enter the TSGP. A Tribe may use other resources to develop and negotiate its Compact and Funding Agreement. Tribes that receive a Negotiation Cooperative Agreement are not obligated to participate in Title V and may choose to delay or decline participation or expansion in the TSGP. </Description>

        <Description>CNCS may award an AmeriCorps planning grant or an AmeriCorps program grant under this announcement. A planning grant provides support to a grant recipient for the development of an AmeriCorps program that will engage AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions to solve community problems. Grant recipients are awarded up to $75,000 for a 12-month planning period and are expected to be better prepared to compete for an AmeriCorps program grant in the following grant cycle. A planning grant may not be used to support AmeriCorps members. AmeriCorps program grants are awarded to eligible applicants proposing to engage AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions to strengthen communities. An AmeriCorps member is an individual who engages in community service through an approved national service position. Members may receive a living allowance and other benefits while serving. Upon successful completion of their service, members earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award from the National Service Trust that members can use to pay for higher education expenses or apply to qualified student loans.For questions, email AmeriCorpsGrants@cns.gov </Description>

        <Description>One of BJA&amp;#8217;s guiding principles is to promote a fair criminal justice system. Over the past two decades, the American justice system has been confronted with a steady stream of post-conviction exonerations, and the issue of wrongful convictions has emerged as a critical area for examination, innovation, and reform of criminal justice practices and policies. BJA is committed to assisting state and local law enforcement entities in adopting evidence-based practices and accessing the necessary technologies to improve outcomes for victims and to reduce the likelihood of a wrongful conviction occurring from the outset of each criminal investigation. BJA is also committed to ensuring that wrongful convictions are expeditiously detected and addressed when they occur. In support of the latter goal, BJA established the Wrongful Conviction Review Program, the funding for which is anticipated through the FY 2015 appropriation. While experts widely acknowledge that wrongful convictions constitute a small percentage of all findings of guilt by our nation&amp;#8217;s court systems, irreversible damage is sustained by those who are wrongly convicted. This damage extends far beyond the individual wrongfully convicted, as systemic errors cause harm to all those involved in the case, including the families of the wrongfully convicted person, the victims of the original crime, and confidence in the criminal justice system. In addition, wrongful convictions impact public safety by delaying or preventing the identification of the true perpetrators of these crimes. </Description>

        <Description>The Southwest Border Resource Protection Program (SWBRPP), located within the National Park Service (NPS) Intermountain Regional Office in Denver, provides financial assistance to NPS units, as well as educational institutions, international nonprofit organizations, tribes, and local and state agencies to improve resource stewardship, achieve international cooperation, and conduct scientific research, which will lead to increased appreciation and understanding of our shared natural and cultural heritage along our international border with Mexico. Applicants are strongly encouraged to work closely with at least one of nine NPS units located near the international border in the formulation of the project. These parks include Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Big Bend National Park, Amistad National Recreation Area, Palo Alto National Historic Site, Padre Island National Seashore, Saguaro National Park, Tumacacori National Historical Park, Chamizal National Memorial, Coronado National Memorial, and Chiricahua National Monument. The projects and activities will be individually authorized by separate awards, with each project or activity having a separate work plan and budget developed cooperatively between the NPS and the cooperator. Several national parks located along our border with Mexico, such as Organ Pipe National Monument, have recently experienced serious resource damage due to illegal cross border activities including drug traffickers and undocumented persons traversing the parks. Other national park units within the desert southwest have also experienced impacts to their natural and cultural resources. Thousands of miles of unauthorized roads and trails have been created, major ecological processes and the migration patterns of wildlife have been disrupted, important historic sites have been vandalized, and archaeological sites have been looted. Program funding is available for conducting scientific research and monitoring of species, as well as conservation and preservation projects designed to help protect and preserve natural and cultural resources located near or along our international border.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligibility for SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Campus Suicide Prevention Grant program is statutorily limited to institutions of higher education.  Applicants from both public and private institutions may apply, including state universities, private four-year colleges and universities (including those with religious affiliations), Minority Serving Institutions of higher learning (i.e. Tribal colleges and universities, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions), and community colleges.   Entities that have previously been awarded a Garrett Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention Grant are not eligible. SAMHSA is limiting the eligibility to applicants who have not previously received an award in order to allow for a broader distribution of the limited funds across campuses and universities.  Since the purpose of this program is to facilitate a comprehensive approach to preventing suicide in institutions of higher education, this program assists colleges and universities in preventing suicide attempts and deaths by suicide. It also enhances services for students with mental and behavioral health problems, such as depression and substance use/abuse that put them at risk for suicide and suicide attempts. These grants assist colleges and universities in having a campus free from the tragedy of suicide.  Such institutions may carry out the activities of this grant through college health/wellness/counseling centers, college and university psychological services centers, mental/behavioral health centers, psychological training clinics, academic departments or institutions of higher education-supported, evidence-based mental health and substance abuse programs. The activities of this grant may be carried out with the engagement of student-run services such as student organizations and/or student government councils.  If a consortium is formed to carry out the activities of this grant, a single institution in the consortium must be the legal applicant, the recipient of the award on behalf of the consortium, and the entity legally responsible for satisfying the grant requirements.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Campus Suicide Prevention grants. The purpose of this program is to facilitate a comprehensive public health approach to prevent suicide in institutions of higher education. The grant is designed to assist colleges and universities in building essential capacity and infrastructure to support expanded efforts to promote wellness and help-seeking of all students. Additionally, this grant will offer outreach to vulnerable students, including those experiencing substance abuse and mental health problems who are at greater risk for suicide and suicide attempts. The Campus Suicide Prevention grant supports a wide range of program activities and prevention strategies to build and sustain a foundation for mental health promotion, suicide prevention, substance abuse prevention and other prevention activities such as interpersonal violence and by-stander interventions. As an Infrastructure Development grant, funds cannot be used to pay for direct traditional mental health and substance abuse treatment services such as therapy, counseling, and medication management. The Campus Suicide Prevention Grant program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial, ethnic, sexual and gender minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix G &amp;#8211; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) SAMHSA intends that these grants will assist colleges and universities to have a campus free from the tragedy of suicide which also supports the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention Objective 8.1 (See http://store.samhsa.gov/product/National-Strategy-for-Suicide-Prevention-2012-Goals-and-Objectives-for-Action/PEP12-NSSPGOALS). Campus Suicide Prevention grants are authorized under the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act (Section 520E-2 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended). This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD.

        <Description>This cooperative agreement will establish and maintain an interdisciplinary, multicenter research forum for scientific collaboration and infrastructure building, which will provide national leadership in research designed to improve the physical health and wellbeing of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or other developmental disabilities. Physical health may include, but is not limited to, medical, dental, visual, nutrition and speech/hearing components. As authorized by Section 399BB of the Autism CARES Act, the AIR-P Network will determine the evidence-based practices for interventions to improve the physical health of individuals with ASD and other developmental disabilities, develop guidelines for those interventions, and disseminate information related to such research and guidelines. The AIR-P Network will be one of two HRSA-supported research networks that will provide national leadership in research to advance the evidence base on effective interventions for children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities, with AIR-P having a focus on addressing physical health and wellbeing. As directed by the FY 2015 Congressional Appropriations for HRSA&amp;#8217;s Autism CARES Act programs, HRSA is broadening the scope of this funding opportunity to reflect an additional emphasis on addressing disparities in effective interventions and treatment and access to care experienced by underserved minority and rural communities. In particular, applicants should consider diverse ethnic/racial, cultural, linguistic, socioeconomic, and geographic (e.g., rural/urban, tribal) populations for whom there is little evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions, or for whom access to effective treatments is limited. Applicants should include plans to conduct multi-site research protocols on innovative treatment models, including the use of telehealth networks, to improve physical health interventions and treatment for ASD in underserved minority and rural communities. It is expected that the AIR-P Network will collaborate with a program serving vulnerable and underserved populations. Such collaboration will enable the Network to recruit and include these populations including minority and rural communities into Network studies. Such collaboration should also include the participation of an interdisciplinary cadre of researchers, health and related service providers, and community partners in diverse settings to broaden the scope of the Network. This FOA requires that 50% of AIR-P Network studies exclusively recruit from vulnerable and underserved populations, such as HRSA-supported program populations (e.g., Health Center Program; Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program). The Maternal and Child Health Bureau&amp;#8217;s intent is to ensure that research activities are responsive to the cultural and linguistic needs of special populations, that services are family-centered and accessible to consumers, and that the broadest possible representation of culturally distinct and historically underrepresented groups is supported through programs and projects sponsored by the MCHB. The AIR-P Network will use an interdisciplinary team with experience in, but not limited to: multi-site research, RCTs, clinical services, family-centered care, and with expertise in the study of physical health of children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities to: &amp;#183; Design and implement multi-site research to determine evidence-based practices for interventions that improve the physical health of children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities; &amp;#183; Design and implement multi-site research protocols to examine and address disparities in physical health interventions and treatment and access to care for children and adolescents with ASD, including innovative models to serve vulnerable and underserved minority and rural communities; &amp;#183; Recruit study participants from diverse backgrounds including racial/ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic diversity through partnership with a program serving vulnerable and underserved populations, such as the Health Center Program or the MIECHV Program; &amp;#183; Develop and/or update guidelines and validate tools for those interventions developed by the Network; &amp;#183; Provide a research environment that supports the professional development and mentorship of emerging or new investigators in the field of intervention research for ASD and other developmental disabilities; &amp;#183; Disseminate information on Network activities including research, guidelines, and validated tools to the research community, health care professionals and service providers, communities, families of children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities and the public; &amp;#183; Develop and institute a plan to ensure dissemination of Network findings beyond peer-reviewed publications to accelerate the adoption of effective interventions, guidelines, tools, and systems management approaches into practice settings and communities; &amp;#183; Leverage network capacity to compete for grant opportunities from other Federal and private sources to support and implement network research protocols.</Description>

        <Description>Healthy, vibrant communities are places that provide the opportunities, resources, and an environment that children and adults need to maximize their life outcomes, including high-quality schools and cradle-to-career educational programs; high-quality and affordable housing; thriving commercial establishments; access to quality health care and health services; art and cultural amenities; parks and other recreational spaces; and the safety to take advantage of these opportunities. Unfortunately, millions of Americans live in distressed communities2 where a combination of crime, poverty, unemployment, poor health, struggling schools, inadequate housing, and disinvestment keep many residents from reaching their full potential. Research suggests that crime clustered in small areas, or crime &amp;#8220;hot spots,&amp;#8221; accounts for a disproportionate amount of crime and disorder in many communities. The complexity of these issues has led to the emergence of comprehensive place-based and community-oriented initiatives that involve service providers from multiple sectors, as well as community representatives from all types of organizations, to work together to reduce and prevent crime and to revitalize communities.In many ways, community safety and crime prevention are prerequisites to the transformation of distressed communities, including the revitalization of civic engagement. Addressing community safety is the role of criminal justice agencies, the community, and its partners as a whole. To improve and revitalize communities, all relevant stakeholders should be included: law enforcement and criminal justice, education, housing, health and human services, community and faith-based non-profits, local volunteers, residents, and businesses.Given the significant needs and limited resources of some of these communities, local and tribal leaders need tools and information about crime trends in their jurisdiction and assistance in assessing, planning, and implementing the most effective use of criminal justice resources to address these issues. The criminal justice field has been creating new evidence-informed and evidence-based strategies designed to prevent and deter future crime in hot spots.This program is funded pursuant to the &amp;#8220;Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015&amp;#8221; under the Edward Byrne Memorial criminal justice innovation program appropriation (P.L. 113-235).The Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) program was created as part of a larger, interagency effort across multiple federal agencies to assist distressed communities to both build capacity and revitalize neighborhoods. For more details on these interagency programs, see the section titled &amp;#8220;How does BCJI fit within larger place-based and neighborhood revitalization efforts across federal agencies?&amp;#8221; on page 7.</Description>

        <Description>This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Foundational Science Research Unit (FSRU) of the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) solicits new proposals for its fiscal year 2015 program of basic research in behavioral science. It is issued under the provisions of paragraph 6.102(d) (2) and 35.016 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which provides for the competitive selection of proposals. Proposals submitted in response to this BAA and selected for award are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the provisions of Public Law 98-369, the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984, and subsequent amendments. The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences is the Army&amp;apos;s lead agency for the conduct of research, development, and analyses for the improvement of Army readiness and performance via research advances and applications of the behavioral and social sciences that address personnel, organization, training, and leader development issues. The basic research program supports research projects that are designed to expand fundamental knowledge and discover general principles in the behavioral and social sciences. In addition to programmatic efforts to develop and evaluate psychological and behavioral theory, we strongly encourage researchers to propose novel, state-of-the-art, and multidisciplinary approaches that address difficult problems. A key consideration in the decision to support a research proposal is that its findings are likely to stimulate new, basic behavioral research, which in turn, will lead to improved performance of Army personnel and their units. Proposals may address both traditional behavioral issues as well as psychophysiological (to include neuroscience) and network science approaches to social phenomena, memory, cognition, and personality. The agency cannot support proposals through this BAA that are primarily applied research projects (e.g., human factors studies or training program evaluations) or purely focused on physiology, psychopathology or behavioral health. Collaboration is encouraged among educational institutions, non-profit/not-for-profit organizations, commercial organizations, and the other U.S. Military Services. A portion of available funding may be made available for meritorious proposals from minority serving institutions and historically black colleges and universities, and individuals who are early in their research careers and have never received ARI funding as a Principal Investigator. Funding of basic research proposals within ARI areas of interest will be determined by funding constraints and priorities set during each budget cycle. The decision to fund a new basic research proposal consists of two stages. During the first phase, at least two behavioral scientists within the ARI basic research program review each proposal for responsiveness and technical merit. Additionally, other ARI behavioral and social scientists are invited to provide reviews. In some cases, an external subject matter expert may be asked to review a proposal. ARI may solicit input on technical aspects of proposals from non-Government consultants/experts who are strictly bound by non-disclosure requirements. During the second phase, ARI research unit chiefs are asked to identify responsive proposals that may transition to their basic research programs. Each proposal will be reviewed by at least three behavioral research scientists. Funding priority will be given to those proposals that are rated as highly responsive, innovative, having strong technical merit, and identified as having transition potential. Proposals should describe their contribution to theory and how their results might lead to basic behavioral research that would be meaningful to the Army. Those contemplating submission of a proposal are encouraged to submit a white paper before submitting a full proposal (see page 24 of this BAA). This sequence allows earliest determination of the potential for funding and minimizes the labor and cost associated with submission of full proposals that have minimal probability of being selected for funding. Costs associated with white paper or full proposal submissions in response to this BAA are not considered allowable direct charges to any resulting award. These costs may be allowable expenses to normal bid and proposal indirect costs specified in FAR 31.205-18. Offerors submitting proposals are cautioned that only a Government Contracting or Grants Officer may obligate the Government to any legal instrument involving expenditure of Government funds. Decisions to award new basic research awards are subject to funds availability, and ARI may choose to not award any new basic research awards due to unavailability of funds or other factors. Due to Government budget uncertainties, (1) no specific dollars have been reserved for total awards under this BAA, and (2) no award floor or ceiling thresholds have been established for individual awards under this BAA. Proposals are sought from educational institutions, non-profit/not-for-profit organizations, and commercial organizations, domestic or foreign, for research and development (R&amp;amp;D) in those areas specified in Part II Section A of this BAA. The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences encourages Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Other Minority Serving Institutions (HBCU/MI) (FAR Part 26.3) small businesses, and small disadvantaged businesses (FAR Part 19) to submit proposals for consideration. Foreign owned, controlled, or influenced organizations are advised that security restrictions may apply that could preclude their participation in these efforts. Government laboratories, Federal Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and U.S. Service Academies are not eligible to participate as prime contractors or recipients. However, they may be able to participate as subcontractors or subrecipients (eligibility will be determined on a case by case basis). This BAA is also available at https://www.fbo.gov under solicitation number W911NF-15-R-0007. </Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to advance the understanding of perennial grass responses to alternative post-fire grazing management approaches for promoting resiliency in sagebrush plant communities in the Great Basin. The goals of this research are to investigate perennial grass responses to alternative post-fire grazing management approaches. It will focus on grass tiller responses and plant reproduction because they are the most important factors dictating perennial grass survival and vigor after disturbances. In addition, it will examine seedling survival and growth of recruited seedlings to determine the impact of livestock grazing on their establishment. </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this funding opportunity is to expose high school students in the United States and its territories to the excitement of ocean sciences and related fields as well as careers in those fields through an academic competition and related activities. Projects should be 3-5 years in duration, address at least one of the goals of NOAA&amp;apos;s Education Strategic Plan, involve partnerships among academic institutions; other nonprofits, including free-choice learning venues; nongovernmental organizations; state, local and Indian tribal governments in the United States; and have an evaluation that both monitors the quality of the experience for the participants (be they students, teachers, or volunteers) but also the impact of the program on the participants. Partnerships with NOAA Programs and/or Offices and/or involve NOAA scientists or other personnel as a resource are required, and partnerships with other Federal Programs and/or Offices to help support program activities are also encouraged. The impact of the proposed project on the target audiences must be measurable during the award period. Although it is expected that the project&amp;apos;s focal point will be a tiered academic competition with regional and national-level events involving approximately 2000 students annually, it should also provide additional learning experiences for student participants, their peers and their teachers, such as internships and field or laboratory research experiences. The project should also provide opportunities to connect students with scientists who can serve as mentors and introduce them to STEM careers, particularly in the ocean sciences. The project should also demonstrate efforts to engage underserved and/or underrepresented student communities. Proposed projects must be between three and five years in duration and have federal requests of $1,500,000 to $2,100,000 for all years of the project with annual federal requests of no more than $300,000 for Year 1 and $450,000 for all subsequent years. We intend to make one award under this funding announcement and anticipate it will be made by June 30, 2015. Under this scenario, the project funded under this announcement will have a start date no earlier than August 1, 2015. </Description>

        <Description>The funding provided through the Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) Ebola Preparedness and Response Activities is intended to ensure the nation&amp;#8217;s health care system is ready to safely and successfully identify, isolate, assess, transport, and treat patients with Ebola or patients under investigation for Ebola, and that it is well prepared for a future Ebola outbreak. While the focus will be on preparedness for Ebola, it is likely that preparedness for other novel, highly pathogenic diseases will also be enhanced through these activities. Important lessons learned in the U.S. response to Ebola include that the safety of health care workers &amp;#8211; from clinicians and laboratorians to ancillary staff &amp;#8211; must be foremost in health care system preparedness and response activities; that the care of Ebola patients is clinically complex and demanding; and that early case recognition is critical for preventing spread and improving outcomes. Health care worker safety is best achieved through a deep understanding and correct implementation of infection control, appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE), continuous training, demonstration of competencies, and participation in frequent exercises. Assuring that Ebola patients are safely and well cared for in the U.S. health care system and that frontline providers are trained to recognize and isolate a person with suspected Ebola are the cornerstones of this HPP funding opportunity announcement (FOA).</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Notice of Intent is to provide potential applicants advance notice that the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Wind and Water Power Technologies Office (WWPTO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled ?U.S. Wind Manufacturing: Larger Blades to Access Greater Wind Resources and Lower Costs&amp;quot;, Number DE-FOA-0001214. This FOA will support Research and Development (R&amp;amp;D) partnerships leading to innovative designs and processes for the manufacturing and assembly of wind turbine blades in order to facilitate deployment of the next generation of multi-megawatt wind turbines. Supported projects will develop cost-competitive integrated solutions that address the challenges of fabricating, transporting overland and assembling rotor blades longer than 60m, with design concepts scalable to greater lengths, and installing them at wind turbine hub heights of at least 120m. Multi-organizational teams including at least an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) turbine designer, a blade manufacturer and an installation/logistics firm are expected. The proposed FOA is intended to be forward-looking in addressing U.S. market dynamics and domestic manufacturing opportunities through innovative solutions to constructing and assembling larger blades directly applicable to mitigating U.S. transportation constraints. Awards under the FOA will support partnerships between DOE and research and development (R&amp;amp;D) teams, including manufacturers. The resulting designs must be manufacturable in the U.S. in accordance with the U.S. Manufacturing Plan to be submitted as part of the application. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE. Please do not submit questions or respond to this Notice of Intent. Prospective applicants to the FOA should begin developing partnerships, formulating ideas, and gathering data in anticipation of the issuance of this FOA. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspxafter logging in to the system.</Description>

        <Description>Welcome to the Region 6 Challenge Cost Share (CCS) program. The information contained here will help you understand the program and its possibilities. The CCS program was developed to promote partnerships between the Service and other organizations (private groups, government agencies, and individuals) which focus on a common shared conservation goal. These partnerships are intended to support our Nation&amp;#191;s wildlife resources, their habitat, and the people who care for them. The private partners must bring at least half of the resources to the proposed project and are often the ones who actually perform the ground work. Matching resources can be in the form of money, labor, materials, other in-kind services, or a combination of these. Other Federal Government agencies are welcomed and encouraged to participate as partners. The funding or in-kind services that they bring to the project cannot be counted as part of the match. The 50% matching contributions must be from a non-Federal Government source. </Description>

        <Description>The Smart Defense Initiative, administered by BJA, is part of BJA&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Smart Suite&amp;#8221; of criminal justice programs including Smart Pretrial, Smart Policing, Smart Supervision, and Smart Prosecution. BJA established the Smart Suite over 5 years ago with the creation of the Smart Policing Initiative. The Smart Suite supports criminal justice professionals in building evidencebased, data-driven criminal justice strategies that are effective, efficient, and economical. BJA&amp;#8217;s smart programs represent a strategic approach that brings more &amp;#8220;science&amp;#8221; into criminal justice operations by leveraging innovative applications of analysis, technology, and evidence-based practices. In many states, the public defense delivery system is in crisis, with too many defendants lacking access to quality advice and representation. In addition to being a matter of constitutional concern, this void can contribute to over-incarceration, reduced confidence in the justice system, and other inequities. Without quality effective representation, a defendant may not be treated fairly, may not understand the process, and may not get the benefit of available alternatives to incarceration for first-time or low-level offenses. Additionally, ifthese issues are not addressed, victims are ill-served and the criminal justice system&amp;#8217;s shared goals of justice and public safety go unmet. To help jurisdictions strengthen state and local public defense delivery systems, BJA is releasing this competitive grant announcement. Under Smart Defense, BJA is seeking applicants who are interested in developing innovative, data-driven approaches to improve their public defense delivery systems guided by the Ten Principles of a Public Defense Delivery System. This program is funded under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (Pub. L. No. 113-76).</Description>

        <Description>The Smart Defense Initiative, administered by BJA, is part of BJA&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Smart Suite&amp;#8221; of criminal justice programs including Smart Pretrial, Smart Policing, Smart Supervision, and Smart Prosecution. BJA established the Smart Suite over 5 years ago with the creation of the Smart Policing Initiative. The Smart Suite supports criminal justice professionals in building evidencebased, data-driven criminal justice strategies that are effective, efficient, and economical. BJA&amp;#8217;s smart programs represent a strategic approach that brings more &amp;#8220;science&amp;#8221; into criminal justice operations by leveraging innovative applications of analysis, technology, and evidence-based practices. The purpose of Smart Defense is to improve the quality of public defense delivery systems guided by the Ten Principles of a Public Defense Delivery System, promulgated by the American Bar Association (ABA). The ABA Ten Principles of a Public Defense Delivery System (the ABA Ten Principles) represent fundamental building blocks for implementing quality legal representation for indigent criminal defendants. Released in 2002, the ABA Ten Principles list the American Bar Association&amp;#8217;s recommendations for government officials and other parties who are charged with improving public defense delivery systems. These principles address defenders&amp;#8217; appropriate function, workload, resources, training, and quality, and have been recognized by the Attorney General &amp;#8220;as [an] essential guidepost for ensuring that our indigent defense efforts are as effective- and as efficient &amp;#8211; as possible.&amp;#8221; To help jurisdictions strengthen state and local public defense delivery systems, BJA released a separate competitive grant announcement, the Smart Defense Initiative, to fund state and local sites. This competitive grant announcement specifically requests applications for one national training and technical assistance (TTA) provider to support and build capacity in the field and among those jurisdictions selected to be Smart Defense sites. This grant announcement does not solicit applications from individual jurisdictions to fund local Smart Defense programs. This program is funded under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015.</Description>

        <Description>Approximately 2.2 million people were incarcerated in federal, state, and local prisons and jails in 2013, a rate of 1 out of every 110 adults.1 After three years of declines, the prison population increased slightly in 2013, largely due to growth in state prison populations. These prisons face crowding and resource challenges. Accordingly, state spending on corrections has remained high. Over the last 25 years, state corrections expenditures have increased significantly&amp;#8212;from $12 billion in 1988 to more than $55 billion in 2013. Justice reinvestment emerged as a way to address these issues through a targeted, datadriven policymaking process. BJA, in a public/private partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts, launched the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI) in 2010 as a multistaged process in which a jurisdiction increases the cost-effectiveness of its criminal justice system and reinvests savings into high-performing public safety strategies. JRI is a public-private partnership between BJA, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and JRI technical assistance (TA) and assessment providers. Funding from BJA is authorized under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Pub. L. 113-235.</Description>

        <Description>The Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP) is a competitive grants program authorized under section 1240R of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended (16 U.S.C. 3839bb-5), and is only available for State and Tribal Governments. Up to $40 million of mandatory funding is available through fiscal years (FY) 2014-2018. For FY 2014, $20 million was available and awarded. This Announcement for Program Funding (APF) provides the objectives for projects, eligibility criteria for projects and applicants, and application forms and associated instructions needed to apply for a VPA-HIP competitive grant. NRCS anticipates that the amount available for this program in FY 2015 will be up to $20 million. The primary objective of the VPA-HIP is to support State and Tribal Government programs that encourage owners and operators of privately held farm, ranch, and forest land to voluntarily make that land available for access by the public for hunting, fishing, and other wildlife-dependent recreation. This does apply to individuals who have control of the land for the agreement period, regardless of land ownership. If opening dates for migratory bird hunting in the State are not consistent for residents and nonresidents, grant amounts are reduced by 25 percent. This provision does not apply to grantees that are Tribal Governments. The regulations at 7 CFR part 1455, govern the VPA-HIP, except that VPA-HIP will be administered under the general supervision and direction of the Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), who is the Chief, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS); the Associate Chief for Conservation, NRCS; or NRCS designee. </Description>

Purpose of Program: The OSP provides low-income students residing in the District of Columbia (DC) an opportunity to receive a scholarship to attend a DC private school of their parents&amp;apos; choice. Background: The OSP was established in 2004 under the DC School Choice Incentive Act of 2003 (School Choice Incentive Act) (Title III of Division C of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004; Pub. L. 108-199 Stat. 3 (2004)). In 2011, Congress reauthorized the OSP under the Scholarships for Opportunity and Results Act (SOAR Act, Division C of the Pub. L. 112-10). For FY 2015, the Department will award one grant to an eligible applicant to administer the OSP. The grant will be awarded in the form of a cooperative agreement between the Department and the grantee. This grantee is expected to explain in its application, among other things, how it would recruit and select eligible scholarship applicants in years that scholarships are awarded, serve scholarship students and families in a timely manner, identify and work with participating schools, monitor compliance of participating schools with program and reporting requirements, maintain reliable data regarding the operation of the program, and ensure appropriate coordination with the other entities that conduct activities related to this program.

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to solicit proposals for 36-month demonstration projects which will: 1. Conduct a Family Group Decision-Making (FGDM) program which effectively supports family connections and engages family members in ways that achieve positive outcomes for the target population of children who are in, or at risk of entering, foster care and their families; and 2. Analyze the implementation, impact and cost of the FGDM program, through a rigorous local evaluation and cross-site evaluation participation, and produce high level evidence of what worked and why, in order to contribute to the evidence base for FGDM practice. Grant projects will implement and evaluate a FGDM program, which includes essential elements required under this FOA. Grant projects will be designed to support families in making decisions and developing plans that nurture children in the target population, protect them from abuse and neglect, and, when appropriate, address domestic violence issues in a safe manner. Throughout the project period, grantees will devote a substantial amount of resources to the effective collection and analysis of data for evaluation purposes, and to the dissemination of evaluation findings regarding the impact of the FGDM process on safety, permanency and well-being outcomes for the target population of children and their families.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/. Questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at sara@nasa.gov.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Big Data to Knowledge funding opportunity (FOA) announcement is to support the development of new or significantly adapted interactive digital media that engages the public, experts or non-experts, in performing some aspect of biomedical research via crowdsourcing. To be responsive to this FOA, each application is expected to pose a challenging biomedical research problem and propose the development of engaging interactive digital media that incorporates crowdsourcing as a fundamental component of how the problem is solved. The biomedical research problem should be amenable to one or more human computation approaches, as the users must be active participants in the analysis and/or interpretation of data, rather than acting primarily as data collectors or sources of data.</Description>

        <Description>The FWS Endangered Species Program provides Federal financial assistance on a competitive basis to States, other Federal agencies, landowners, educators, non-profit organizations, researchers, and other partners to secure information about endangered, threatened or candidate species, to aid in the recovery of these species, to avert listing of species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, and to help conserve the ecosystems upon which these species depend. The FWS and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which is part of the Department of Commerce&amp;#191;s NOAA Fisheries office, share Endangered Species Act responsibilities for several species such as sea turtles. We have responsibility for sea turtles when they are on land, and NMFS has responsibility for sea turtles when they are in the water. Projects for NMFS-managed species are not included in this funding opportunity.This Recovery Implementation funding opportunity is intended for projects that will contribute to the recovery of FWS-managed endangered and threatened species in the United States, and is limited to projects carrying out actions described in a species&amp;#191; approved recovery plan, in the implementation schedule of a species&amp;#191; approved recovery plan, actions recommended in a completed 5-year status review of the species or in a spotlight species action plan, or projects documenting species&amp;#191; response to climate change. For example: securing scientific information about endangered or threatened species, implementing restoration actions that will lead to delisting of a species, help prevent extinction of a species, or aid in the recovery of a species. Projects that address species response to climate change will receive additional consideration.</Description>

        <Description> A cancer survivor is a person diagnosed with cancer, from the time of diagnosis throughout the person&amp;#8217;s lifespan. As of 2008, nearly 12 million cancer survivors were living in the United States; this number is expected to increase to 18 million in 2020. Cancer survivors have long-term adverse physical and psychosocial effects from their diagnosis and treatment, and have a greater risk for additional cancer diagnoses compared with persons without a cancer history. Cancer survivors commonly report negative behavioral, medical, and health care access issues that may contribute to poor long-term medical and psychosocial outcomes. An analysis of over 45,000 U.S. cancer survivors showed that: 1) 15% of cancer survivors continue to use tobacco; 2) 20-25% do not receive recommended cancer screenings; 3) 31% do not engage in any leisure time physical activity; 4) 40 to 50% do not receive flu or pneumonia vaccines; 5) 60% do not have a summary of their cancer treatment; and 6) 25% do not have any instructions (written or oral) for their treatment or follow-up care . CDC&amp;#8217;s National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) supports collaborative cancer control and prevention efforts in all states, the District of Columbia, tribal organizations, territories, and Pacific Island jurisdictions to address the cancer burden in their jurisdictions. In 2010, NCCCP developed six priorities areas of focus for the greatest public health impact; one of the six priorities is to address the public health needs of cancer survivors. The purpose of this FOA is to implement a broad set of evidence-based survivorship strategies in a subset of NCCCP grantees that will have the short-term results of increasing knowledge of cancer survivor needs, increasing survivor knowledge of treatment and follow-up care, and increasing provider knowledge of guidelines pertaining to treatment of cancer. Intermediate outcomes include the development of best practices in survivorship among NCCCP grantees, and identification of capacity needed to sustain a broad program of survivorship interventions. The long-term outcome is the widespread adoption of practice-and evidence-based, sustainable, survivorship activities across many NCCCP grantees, leading to increases in the duration and quality of life of cancer survivors. Strategies employed in this FOA reflect evidence-based methods to address cancer survivor needs, and are designed to increase surveillance and community/clinical linkages. They include identifying cancer survivors and their needs through the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance system (BRFSS), using local cancer registry data to populate survivorship care plans [SCPs], and increasing the development or adoption of standardized, measurable patient navigation programs to assist cancer survivors in receiving appropriate cancer treatment and follow-up care, and increasing education of providers on survivor care through the existing survivorship E-learning series. Together, these strategies help to specifically identify and characterize the survivor population, and address survivor needs from diagnosis through treatment and post-treatment. </Description>

        <Description>The NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007, Pub. L. 110-180 (NIAA or the Act), was signed into law on January 8, 2008, in the wake of the April 2007 shooting tragedy at Virginia Tech. The Virginia Tech shooter was able to purchase firearms from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) because information about his prohibiting mental health history was not available to the NICS, and the system was therefore unable to deny the transfer of the firearms used in the shootings. The NIAA seeks to address the gap in information available to NICS about such prohibiting mental health adjudications and commitments, and other prohibiting factors. Filling these information gaps will better enable the system to operate as intended to keep guns out of the hands of persons prohibited by federal or state law from receiving or possessing firearms. The automation of records will also reduce delays for law-abiding persons to purchase firearms. The NIAA authorized a grant program to assist states in providing certain information to the NICS and prescribes grant penalties for noncompliance with the NIAA&amp;#8217;s record completeness goals. Additionally, pursuant to the Act, there are certain conditions, described under &amp;#8220;Eligibility,&amp;#8221; that a state must satisfy in advance of receiving grants under the Act. </Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Network is a national consortium of federal agencies, academic institutions, tribal, state, and local governments, nongovernmental conservation organizations (300 partners). The Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CPCESU) is a cooperative network, transcending political and institutional boundaries, which creates innovative opportunities for research, education, and technical assistance in support of the management and stewardship by partner agencies of the Colorado Plateau&amp;apos;s natural, cultural, and social resources. The CPCESU has a unique collaborative relationship with research scientists, end users of research products, the public, and educators who are trained to bridge the gap between researchers, science users and educators. This priority project is being undertaken by BLM Arizona in FY15. BLM Arizona recognizes that change is inevitable and that the rate of change is accelerating. We expect this project to identify social, political, technological, economic, environmental, and other trends and emerging developments which will impact our agency, the workforce and our customers. By identifying the drivers of change, we can begin developing strategies now to ensure BLM&amp;#65533;s future success and relevance. b. Objectives: The principle purpose of this project is to develop a partnership via an MOU and Cooperative Agreement to work in concert with BLM in identifying emerging trends in public land management and resource management as well as social, political, technological, economic, environmental, and other trends and emerging developments which will impact the BLM staff, managed resources, services provided, and customer expectations by 2025. The objective of this agreement is for the BLM to become knowledgeable of emerging trends that will impact the agency so appropriate steps can be taken to begin preparing for the future. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this announcement: Coordinating Grant for Children&amp;apos;s Vision Screening is to support the public health role in assuring a continuum of eye care for young children within the healthcare delivery system and in the medical home. The grant is designed to support the development of public health infrastructure to promote and ensure a comprehensive, multi-tiered continuum of vision care and eye health for young children; and is committed to conducting this work through strong partnerships, sound science, and targeted policy initiatives. The key activities of the Coordinating Grant are in bold as follows: Supporting Pilot State Activities The grantee will work closely with the current five (5) affiliates in the following states: Massachusetts, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina to continue work in developing and implementing uniform statewide strategy for universal vision screening by age five (5). Each affiliate has convened the following members on their workgroup to thoroughly discuss current vision screening activities in their state: Title V, school/education representatives; parent/family partners; nurses and/or primary care physicians; ophthalmologists and/or optometrists; insurance and/or hospital representation; and other health professionals and stakeholders. These workgroup discussions have included reviewing current regulations and laws, gaps in services, guidelines, data collection activities and issues for parents and families in attempts to form a cohesive approach on vision screening activities in that state. The grantee will also work with these states with the goal of having them serve as technical assistance advisors to other states and coordinate existing vision screening activities within those states. Overseeing the National Expert Panel (NEP) Working Groups The NEP has members (optometrists and ophthalmologists) who are well versed in eye health for children and are divided into three key workgroups: Guidelines for Vision Screening; Developing Performance Measures; Data Collection and Reporting. The purpose of the NEP is to provide recommendations towards the establishment of Title V performance measures for vision screening, developing mechanisms for uniform data collection and reporting, and, developing and implementing a uniform strategy for universal screening of children prior to entry to school. The grantee will be responsible for continuing the work of the NEP which will serve in an advisory capacity to the grantee. The NEP has created recommendations from three workgroups that will inform the larger public on vision guidelines, performance measures and data collection. Articles developed from the recommendations will serve to assist states in implementing the following: Guidelines and/or strategies on vision screening; A mechanism for uniform data collection and reporting; and A state Title V performance measure for vision screening. Coordinate the Federal Intra-Agency Task Force on Vision Meetings The Federal Intra-Agency Task Force on Vision serves to inform each other on vision health efforts and activities from the individual organizations represented. These include participants from Health Resources and Services Administration, National Institutes of Health/National Eye Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Education, Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, Administration of Children and Families-Head Start, Indian Health Services and the United States Department of Agriculture. The grantee will coordinate the efforts and activities of the Federal Intra-Agency Task Force on Vision. This will include facilitating and selecting speakers for these meetings and/or conference calls, writing and disseminating minutes from these meetings, and developing assignments for the Task Force as necessary. Coordinating Requirements The grantee will build upon efforts of the previous National Center by continuing to address the screening and follow-up component of that continuum by providing national leadership in the development of the statewide vision screening and intervention component of programs for all children three to five years of age, prior to school entry. The grantee will continue to assess the status and capacity of all states to meet the Bright Futures, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), and Healthy People 2020 recommendations. The grantee will build upon the richness of information and knowledge gathered from State Title V agencies and develop a map in conjunction with the states on the needs of vision screening in order to create and spread a universal model for states. Lastly, the grantee will begin to create methods to build insurance support and adequate reimbursement for providers who adhere to the Bright Futures Guidelines. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Licensure Portability Grant Program (LPGP). The primary purpose of the LPGP is to provide support for State professional licensing boards to carry out programs under which licensing boards of various States cooperate to develop and implement State laws and related policies that will reduce statutory and regulatory barriers to telemedicine. The program is designed to leverage the experience of State licensing boards that have a strong record in implementing cross-border activities to overcome licensure barriers to the provision of telemedicine services across many States. The program is designed to encourage recipients to gather information on best practices and identify and carry out strategies for sharing information on successful approaches on cross-state licensures related to telemedicine with other States, stakeholders, and the public. Recipients under this program will provide information on emerging policy changes by licensure bodies that have relevance to telehealth. Health care delivery patterns do not always conform uniformly with State boundaries, particularly in the delivery of telemedicine services (where care is provided at a distance from the patient). Accordingly, there are often situations in which a provider in one State is delivering services to a patient in another State. Clinical practice is regulated through State licensure bodies and providers are required to be licensed in the State in which the patient is located. The challenge for stakeholders is how to balance ensuring the safety of patients within the existing licensure system in a manner that also takes into account the growing use of telehealth technology to improve access to care for needed services in an efficient manner. Licensure portability is seen as one of the key elements among the wide range of strategies needed to improve access to quality health care services through the deployment of telehealth and other electronic practice services (e-care or e-health services) in this country. However, licensure portability goes beyond improving the efficiency and effectiveness of electronic practice services. Overcoming unnecessary licensure barriers to cross-State practice is seen as part of a general strategy to expedite the mobility of health professionals in order to address workforce needs and improve access to health care services, particularly in light of increasing shortages of health care professionals and increased demand for health care services. It is also seen as a way of improving the efficiency of the licensing system in this country so that scarce resources may be better used in the disciplinary and enforcement activities of State boards, rather than in duplicative licensing processes. This competition seeks projects that will serve as national models for cooperative State action and which will have implications for a range of stakeholders. This includes States working on addressing statutory and regulatory licensure barriers to cross-State practice of telemedicine for all the health professions, including projects that have demonstrated success in pioneering creative programs to address these issues. It also includes a broader range of telehealth stakeholders and the general public who will benefit from the information gathered through this investment.</Description>

        <Description>The Labor-Management Cooperation Act of 1978 identifies the following seven general areas for which financial assistance would be appropriate:(1) to improve communication between representatives of labor and management;(2) to provide workers and employers with opportunities to study and explore new and innovative joint approaches to achieving organizational effectiveness;(3) to assist workers and employers in solving problems of mutual concern not susceptible to resolution within the collective bargaining process;(4) to study and explore ways of eliminating potential problems which reduce the competitiveness and inhibit the economic development of the company/plant, area, or industry;(5) to enhance the involvement of workers in making decisions that affects their working lives;(6) to expand and improve working relationships between workers and managers; and(7) to encourage free collective bargaining by establishing continuing mechanisms for communication between employers and their employees through Federal assistance in the formation and operation of labor-management committees.The primary objective of this program is to encourage and support the establishment and operation of joint labor-management committees to carry out specific objectives that meet the aforementioned general criteria. The term &amp;quot;labor&amp;quot; refers to employees represented by a labor organization and covered by a formal collective bargaining agreement. These committees may be found at the plant (company), area, industry, or public sector levels. A plant or company committee is generally characterized as restricted to one or more organizational or productive units operated by a single employer. An area committee is generally composed of multiple employers of diverse industries as well as multiple labor unions operating within and focusing upon a particular city, county, contiguous multicounty, or statewide jurisdiction. An industry committee generally consists of a collection of agencies or enterprises and related labor union(s) producing a common product or service in the private sector on a local, state, regional, or nationwide level. A public sector committee consists of government employees and managers in one or more units of a local or state government, managers and employees of public institutions of higher education, or of employees and managers of public elementary and secondary schools. Those employees must be covered by a formal collective bargaining agreement or other enforceable labor-management agreement. In deciding whether an application is for an area or industry committee, consideration should be given to the above definitions as well as to the focus of the committee. In FY2015, competition will be open to company/plant, area, private industry, and public sector committees. Special consideration will be given to committee applications involving innovative or unique efforts. All application budget requests should focus directly on supporting the committee. Applicants should avoid seeking funds for activities that are clearly available under other Federal programs (e.g., job training, mediation of contract disputes, etc.)</Description>

        <Description>The NPS and NCRP are BJS&amp;#8217;s flagship data collections measuring the size and composition of state and federal prison populations on an annual basis. The two collections complement each other by obtaining aggregate and detailed individual-level information on prisoners, which is used to describe and compare the prison population over time. The NPS collects aggregate counts of the male and female custody and jurisdictional prison populations as of December 31 each year. State departments of corrections (DOCs) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) use their administrative records to tally their prison populations by jurisdiction, types of prison admissions and releases during the past year, race/Hispanic origin, and capacity of the facilities that hold prisoners in their custody. NPS also provides annual information on the number of confirmed cases of HIV/AIDS and current testing policies for these conditions. NPS has been collected annually since 1926, and these data are used in BJS&amp;#8217;s Prisoners series and Corrections Populations in the United States series bulletins. Through the NCRP, BJS collects individual (or offender) level data on prisoners entering or leaving the custody of state prison systems and post-custody community supervision programs (PCCS; formerly known as &amp;#8220;parole&amp;#8221;). The NCRP data, collected annually since 1983, are derived from state prison and PCCS administrative records and currently consist of five separate files for each year: prison admissions, census of state prisoners on December 31, prison releases, entry to PCCS programs, and exits from PCCS programs. A major improvement in NCRP data in the past 5 years has been to link the prison and PCCS records into &amp;#8220;terms&amp;#8221; for the majority of states submitting data. A term is defined as the period from admission to release. BJS uses these data to study a wide variety of special topics in corrections&amp;#8212;recidivism of state prisoners (by linking the NCRP data to criminal history records), prisoner reentry, aging of the prison population, trends in state PCCS, outcomes of PCCS supervision, and other issues. Additionally, BJS uses these data to support its ongoing efforts to study changes in the racial and offense composition of national corrections populations, to study movements and transitions between stages of the corrections process, and to compare differences among states&amp;#8217; correctional populations. </Description>

        <Description>Depending on availability of funds, NOAA Sea Grant expects to have available about $1,600,000 for each of FY 2015 and FY 2016 for a national competition to fund marine aquaculture extension and technology transfer efforts, as part of the overall plan to support the development of environmentally and economically sustainable ocean, coastal and Great Lakes aquaculture. Aquaculture that occurs in the Great Lakes or its coastal zone is considered marine aquaculture for this competition. This Federal Funding Opportunity includes information on application and criteria for aquaculture extension proposals requesting a maximum of $300,000 in total federal funding for up to a two-year period. Matching funds are required. Proposals are required to include a partnership (e.g., with local community governments, state and Federal agencies, regional management efforts, industry, non-governmental organizations). Awards are anticipated to start no later than September 1, 2015. Additional proposals from this competition may be selected for funding in subsequent fiscal years, subject to the availability of funds.</Description>

Those Alaska Tribes not represented by a Self-Governance Tribal consortium Funding Agreement within their area may still be considered to participate in the TSGP.         B. Submit a Tribal resolution from the appropriate governing body of each Indian Tribe to be served by the ISDEAA Compact authorizing the submission of the Planning Cooperative Agreement application.  Tribal consortia applying for a TSGP Planning Cooperative Agreement shall submit Tribal Council resolutions from each Tribe in the consortium.  Tribal resolutions can be attached to the electronic online application. Applications by Tribal organizations will not require a specific Tribal resolution if the current Tribal resolution(s) under which they operate would encompass the proposed grant activities.         C. Demonstrate, for three fiscal years, financial stability and financial management capability.  The Indian Tribe must provide evidence that, for the three years prior to participation in Self-Governance, the Indian Tribe has had no uncorrected significant and material audit exceptions in the required annual audit of the Indian Tribe&amp;apos;s Self-Determination Contracts or Self-Governance Funding Agreements with any Federal agency.  See 25 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 458aaa-2; 42 C.F.R. &amp;#167;&amp;#167; 137.15-23.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The purpose of this Planning Cooperative Agreement is to provide resources to Tribes interested in entering the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP) and to existing Self-Governance Tribes interested in assuming new or expanded Programs, Services, Functions and Activities (PSFAs). Title V of the ISDEAA requires a Tribe or Tribal organization to complete a planning phase to the satisfaction of the Tribe. The planning phase must include legal and budgetary research and internal Tribal government planning and organization preparation relating to the administration of health care programs. See 25 U.S.C. 458aaa-2(d). The planning phase helps Tribes make informed decisions about which PSFAs to assume and what organizational changes or modifications are necessary to successfully support those PSFAs. A thorough planning phase improves timeliness and efficiency of negotiations and ensures that the Tribe is fully prepared to assume the transfer of IHS PSFAs to the Tribal health program. A Planning Cooperative Agreement is not a prerequisite to enter the TSGP and a Tribe may use other resources to meet the planning requirements. Tribes that receive a Planning Cooperative Agreement are not obligated to participate in the TSGP and may choose to delay or decline participation based on the outcome of their planning activities. This also applies to existing Self-Governance Tribes exploring the option to expand their current PSFAs or assume additional PSFAs.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate research focused on the role of early-life factors in cancer development later in life.Given that current emerging evidence from limited research indicates a potentially important role for early-life events and exposures in cancer development, it is necessary to better understand 1) the early-life (maternal-paternal, in utero, birth and infancy, puberty and adolescence, and teenage and young adult years) factors that are associated with later cancer development; 2) how early-life factors mediate biological processes relevant to carcinogenesis; and 3) whether predictive markers for cancer risk based on what happens biologically at early-life can be measured and developed for use in cancer prevention strategies. Markers that predict malignancy or pre-malignant conditions would allow assessment of early-life exposures with relevant outcomes without having to wait 50 years for cancer development. Ultimately, a better mechanistic understanding of how early-life events and exposures contribute to the etiology of cancer later in life will allow for the development of effective interventions during pregnancy or early life that may have a profound impact on cancer prevention.</Description>

        <Description>The invasion of Dreissena spp. (zebra mussels, ZM; quagga mussels, QM) caused dramatic ecological effects on the Great Lakes ecosystems, which include changes in fish abundance, extirpation of native mussels and profound changes in benthic invertebrates. Until now most dreissenid control measures have focused on reducing mussel settlement in commercially important raw water plumbing; yet, this provides little benefit to ecosystem restoration which is affected by the dreissenid abundance in the natural environment. However, preliminary research in our laboratories has demonstrated that algae produce chemicals that can stimulate or inhibit dreissenid spawning. The stimulatory chemicals may be the normal triggers of spawning that signal when conditions are amenable to larval development; whereas the inhibitory algal chemicals may be protective or toxic signals that prevent predation by dreissenid mussel adults and larvae. Thus, instead of focusing on toxic non-specific chemicals to kill mussels, as are used in water treatment facilities and power stations, we propose to identify and deploy algal chemicals, which are potentially species specific (and therefore more environmentally benign) natural products to regulate dreissenid mussel reproduction to reduce mussel populations at ecosystem scales.</Description>

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters has released a solicitation, titled Early Career Faculty (ECF), as an appendix to the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) umbrella NASA Research Announcement (NRA) titled &amp;quot;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015), on February 25, 2015. The solicitation is available by opening the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ , selecting &amp;quot;Solicitations,&amp;quot; then selecting &amp;quot;Open Solicitations,&amp;quot; and, finally, selecting &amp;quot;Early Career Faculty (ECF).&amp;quot; STMD, and the Space Technology Research Grants Program in particular, seek proposals from accredited U.S. universities on behalf of faculty members beginning their independent careers. This solicitation is focused on supporting outstanding faculty researchers early in their careers as they conduct space technology research of high priority to NASA&amp;apos;s Mission Directorates and STMD. NASA is seeking proposals that plan to pursue innovative, early-stage space technology research in the topic areas specifically enumerated in the solicitation. Our Nation&amp;apos;s universities couple fundamental research with education, encouraging a culture of innovation based on the discovery of knowledge. Universities are, therefore, ideally positioned to both conduct fundamental space technology research and diffuse newly-found knowledge into society at large through graduate students and industrial, government, and other partnerships. STMD investments in space technology research at U.S. academic institutions promote the continued leadership of our universities as an international symbol of the country&amp;apos;s scientific innovation, engineering creativity, and technological skill. Only accredited U.S. universities are eligible to submit proposals on behalf of their outstanding new faculty members who intend to develop academic careers related to space technology. The proposed research project must be led by a single, eligible Principal Investigator (PI). The PI must be a recent Ph.D. recipient, defined as having graduated on or after, 2008. The PI must be an untenured Assistant or Associate Professor on the tenure track at the sponsoring U.S. university at the time of award. The PI must be a U.S. citizen or have lawful status of permanent residency (i.e., holder of a U.S. Permanent Resident Card, also referred to as a Green Card). A PI may submit only one proposal in response to this solicitation. The PI may not be a current or former recipient of a Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) award. The PI must be the primary researcher on the effort. Co-Investigators are not permitted. Collaborators are permitted. NASA encourages submission of ECF proposals on behalf of early career faculty members at all institutions and especially encourages women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply. The financial and programmatic support for ECF comes from the Space Technology Research Grants Program within the Space Technology Mission Directorate. Awards are planned to start in fall 2015. NASA plans to make approximately 6-8 awards as a result of this ECF solicitation, subject to the receipt of meritorious proposals. The actual number of awards will depend on the quality of the proposals received; NASA reserves the right to make no awards under this solicitation. All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) by an authorized organizational representative. Notices of Intent (not mandatory) are due by March 20, 2015. Proposals are due on or before April 17, 2015. Detailed submission instructions are provided in the solicitation. Potential proposers and their proposing organizations are urged to familiarize themselves with the submission system(s), ensure they are registered in NSPIRES, and submit the required proposal materials well in advance of the deadline. Technical and programmatic comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to the Space Technology Research Grants Program Executive, Claudia Meyer, at hq-ecf-call@mail.nasa.gov . Procurement questions may be addressed by e-mail to the procurement point of contact on this solicitation, Carl T. Weih, at hq-ecf-call@mail.nasa.gov . Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and may also be included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. </Description>

        <Description>Alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and other advanced vehicles offer a number of important benefits, such as fuel diversification for energy security, environmental benefits, and potential cost savings over the life of the vehicle. However, AFVs higher initial costs compared to conventional vehicles are a deployment barrier. Higher AFV and advanced technology vehicle prices can be attributed not only to manufacturers spreading costs over fewer vehicles, but also to the complexities of marketing and supplying vehicles to meet diverse local requirements and fleet needs. If vehicle fleets or consumers could purchase vehicles in larger quantities, or participate in aggregate purchasing initiatives, manufacturers and consumers could benefit from assured sales, as well as from reduced vehicle costs and lower resulting prices. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI)is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a Funding Op portunity Announcement (FOA). This RFI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. All responses to this RFI must be provided as an attachment (in Microsoft Word format) to an email message addressed to DE-FOA-0001237@netl.doe.gov. Responses must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. (ET) on March 13, 2015.

        <Description>Preservation Assistance Grants help small and mid-sized institutions&amp;#8212;such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, cultural organizations, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities&amp;#8212;improve their ability to preserve and care for their significant humanities collections. These may include special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine art objects, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, historical objects, and digital materials. Applicants must draw on the knowledge of consultants whose preservation skills and experience are related to the types of collections and the nature of the activities on which their projects focus. Within the conservation field, for example, conservators usually specialize in the care of specific types of collections, such as objects, paper, or paintings. Applicants should therefore choose a conservator whose specialty is appropriate for the nature of their collections. Similarly, when assessing the preservation needs of library, museum, or archival holdings, applicants must seek a consultant specifically knowledgeable about the preservation of these types of collections. The program encourages applications from small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant. </Description>

        <Description>The Preservation and Access Education and Training program is central to NEH&amp;#8217;s efforts to preserve and establish access to cultural heritage collections. Thousands of libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country maintain important collections of books and manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art and material culture collections, electronic records, and digital objects. The challenge of preserving and making accessible such large and diverse holdings is enormous, and the need for knowledgeable staff is significant and ongoing. Preservation and Access Education and Training grants are awarded to organizations that offer national or regional (multistate) education and training programs. Grants aim to help the staff of cultural institutions, large and small, obtain the knowledge and skills needed to serve as effective stewards of humanities collections. Grants also support educational programs that prepare the next generation of conservators and preservation professionals, as well as projects that introduce the staff of cultural institutions to new information and advances in preservation and access practices. </Description>

The program will allow the NPS, not only to meet Call To Action goals and mission goals, it also allows the agency to help meet the goals outlined in the Department of the Interior&amp;#65533;s 21st Century Youth Conservation Corp Initiative to engage 1 million volunteers annually on public lands by increasing staff resources in parks to coordinate and manage service opportunities. This program will also help develop the next generation of lifelong conservation stewards and ensure our own skilled and diverse workforce pipeline, through work and training opportunities for young adults and veterans. The program is also designed to inspire young adults and veterans (21-35 years old) from diverse backgrounds who are service focused to aspire for careers in the National Park Service through exposure to the many difference career and leadership developmental opportunities. We will ensure that we provide the necessary training, career development and education for program participates to be effective and supported in their role. The Centennial Volunteer Ambassador Program will help to build a pathway which may lead to a career with the NPS and/or will assist in creating the next generation of conservation stewards.

STATUTORY AUTHORITY A. 54 USC 101702(a) (previously 16 U.S.C. l g), authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements and transfer appropriated funds to nonprofit organization for the public purpose of NPS programs. B. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#65533;l 7j-2(e) authorizes the NPS to expend funds for educational lectures in the vicinity of and with respect to national parks and for the services of employees in cooperation with nonprofit, scientific, and historical societies engaged in educational work in parks. C. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#65533;4601 -1, Subsection (f)(l ) authorizes the NPS to sponsor, engage in, and assist in research relating to outdoor recreation, directly or by contract or cooperative agreements, and make payments for such purposes. Subsection (f)(2) authorizes NPS to undertake studies and assemble information concerning outdoor recreation, directly or by contract or cooperative agreement, and to disseminate such information. Subsection (f)(3) authorizes cooperation with educational institutions and others to assist in establishing programs and activities to encourage public use and benefits from outdoor recreation (funds may even be advanced if in the public interest). D. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#65533;1246(11)(1), National Trails System Act, authorizes cooperative agreements with states or their political subdivisions, landowners, private organizations, or individuals to operate, develop, and maintain portions of national trails located within or outside the boundaries of a federally administered area. E. 16 U.S.C. &amp;#65533;1723(c), Public Lands Corps, authorizes the Secretary to enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with any qualified youth or conservation corps to perform appropriate conservation projects referred to in subsection (d) of section 1723. The Secretary may also authorize appropriate conservation projects and other appropriate projects to be carried out on Federal, State, local, or private lands as part of disaster prevention or relief efforts in response to an emergency or major disaster declared by the President under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). F. 54 USC 101701(b) (previously16 U.S.C. &amp;#65533;If), Challenge-Cost Share authority, authorizes the NPS to enter into agreements with cooperators for the purpose of sharing costs or services in carrying out authorized functions and responsibilities of the Secretary with respect to any unit or program of the national park system, any affiliated area, or any designated National Scenic or Historic Trail. This authority allows the agency to negotiate and enter into cooperative agreements with any State or local Government, public or private agency, organization, institution, corporation, individual, or other entity. A cooperative agreement may be utilized if there is substantial involvement in the project on the part of the NPS. This section principally gives authority for joint&amp;#65533; funding arrangements entered into with non-federal partners (&amp;quot;cooperators&amp;quot;), although it also addresses &amp;quot;sharing...services in carrying out authorized functions and responsibilities ...&amp;quot;As with 16 U.S.C. &amp;#65533;l g, this authority must also be read in conjunction with the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977 and other authorities to ensure that a Challenge Cost-Share agreement is not used when a procurement contract would be most appropriate. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Child and Adolescent Injury and Violence Prevention Resource Centers (CAIVP) Cooperative Agreement Program. This cooperative agreement program has the following four aims: 1) Elevate national, state and community focus on, and commitment to, the protection of infants, children and adolescents from injuries and violence, the leading public health threat facing people ages 1-44 years in the country. More children and adolescents die from injuries and violence than all diseases combined. Injuries are also the leading cause of disability among this population, diminishing health trajectories across the lifespan and constituting a leading cause of medical spending. In addition, researchers have made significant progress over the past three decades in developing effective strategies to prevent them. Therefore, this public health problem is ripe for achieving measurable reductions in incidence. 2) Improve the capacity of HRSA-funded health and safety services and systems, and their partners to prevent injuries and violence among infants, children and adolescents, through outreach, technical assistance and training. Systems include: state health departments, child death review programs, community health centers, Emergency Medical Services for Children programs, among others. 3) Catalyze the translation of evidence-based strategies in injury and violence prevention from research to the practice community. The program improves cost-effectiveness of injury and violence prevention investments at the national, state and community levels by increasing the adaptation of methods demonstrated as effective in reducing the incidence of injuries and violence; 4) Improve the health and safety status of infants, children and adolescents. Every year one in four children and adolescents is injured seriously enough to require medical attention, leading to more than 430,000 hospitalizations for these injuries. The CAIVP Program, which has a national scope, responds to three complementary frameworks: 1) Healthy People 2020 IVP HP2020-4: Increase the number of states and the District of Columbia where 100 percent of deaths to children aged 17 years and under that are due to external causes are reviewed by a child fatality review team. IVP HP2020-5: Increase the number of states and the District of Columbia where 90 percent of sudden and unexpected deaths to infants are reviewed by a child fatality review team 2) CDC National Action Plan for Childhood Injury Prevention 3) MCHB Performance Measures- State Title V Programs have identified injury and violence prevention as priority needs. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia include intentional and/or unintentional injury as a priority need for the years 2010-2015, and 46 have included intentional and/or unintentional injuries in their state performance measures. In addition, all states are required to report on two injury- and violence-related national performance measures (NPM): NPM #10: The rate of deaths to children aged 14 years and younger caused by motor vehicle crashes per 100,000 children. NPM #16: The rate (per 100,000) of suicide deaths among youths aged 15 through 19. The CAIVP Program contains two categories of effort, described below, that together address the needs of a broad array of practitioners, professionals, administrators and other leaders and decision-makers at national, state and community levels. Awardee organizations are expected to work collaboratively with each other as well as other relevant stakeholder organizations. Category 1 The Children&amp;apos;s Safety Network National Resource Center (CSNNRC) develops core injury and violence prevention capacity within health and safety services and systems which serve infants, children and adolescents including those with special health needs. Targeted systems include: state health departments, child death review programs, community health centers, Emergency Medical Services for Children programs, among others. Program activities enhance these systems&amp;apos; abilities in such domains as: advancing commitment to injury and violence prevention; needs assessment, planning and evaluation; surveillance and data systems; development of partnerships; program and system development; formulation of policy; and technical assistance to states, communities and families. Category 2 The National Center for the Review and Prevention of Child Deaths improves and strengthens state and local capacity to perform Child Death Reviews (CDR), develop prevention-oriented recommendations and translate those recommendations to local policies and programs. Using death as a sentinel event, CDR is the systematic examination of factors that play a role in death which integrates information about the health, safety and personal characteristics of individuals, families, the community environment, death investigation, and information descriptive of medical care and community health and social/welfare systems. Information from these reviews is then used to focus planning and policy development, to direct health systems development, and to enhance efforts to develop and maintain risk reduction and prevention programs for children and adolescents. Program activities enhance state and local CDR program abilities in such domains as: establishment and stabilization of a CDR system; continuous quality improvement of those systems; collection and analysis of meaningful CDR data; application of CDR data in developing recommendations for infant, child and adolescent health and safety services and systems; and the incorporation of evidence-based strategies into CDR recommendations. </Description>

        <Description>PRM will prioritize funding for proposed non-governmental organization (NGO) activities that best meet the Bureau&amp;#146;s priorities for Tibetan refugees in South Asia, as identified below. (a) Proposed activities should primarily support Tibetan refugees in South Asia. Successful proposals will seek to address the needs of Tibetan refugees in both India and Nepal, although applicants may also submit proposals targeted to one or the other of these sub-populations. (b) Proposals must focus on at least one of the following sectors: Protection; Health and Nutrition (including sexual and reproductive health); Livelihoods (including education); and/or Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH). (c) PRM will accept proposals from any NGO working in the above mentioned sectors although, given budgetary constraints, priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate: &amp;#149; In Nepal, a working relationship with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), current UNHCR funding, and/or a letter of support from UNHCR for the proposed activities and/or overall country program (this letter should highlight the gap in services the proposed program is designed to address). &amp;#149; A proven track record in providing proposed assistance both in the sector and specified location. &amp;#149; Evidence of coordination with international organizations (IOs) and other NGOs working in the same area or sector as well as local authorities, including Tibetan settlement officers and, in India, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). NGOs are encouraged to submit proposals that complement existing protection and assistance activities for Tibetans in South Asia, including ongoing and planned USAID programs benefitting Tibetan refugees. &amp;#149; A concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, time-bound and trackable (SMART), have established baselines, and include at least one outcome or impact indicator per objective. &amp;#149; Identification of sustainable programming opportunities that enhance the capacity and self-sufficiency of the Tibetan community and settlements. &amp;#149; A budget that is appropriate for meeting the objectives and demonstrates co-funding by non-US government sources. &amp;#149; Appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with other relevant organizations. Because of PRM&amp;apos;s mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM considers for funding only those projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50% refugees. &amp;#149; Adherence to relevant international standards for humanitarian assistance. See General NGO Guidelines for a complete list of sector-specific standards. (d) Country Specific Instructions: The following activities are priority areas for PRM in FY 2012. In India: &amp;#149; Protection. Priority protection activities include provision of reception services to incoming refugees. All programming should be age- and gender-sensitive. &amp;#149; Health and Nutrition. PRM is particularly interested in proposals that build the capacity of the CTA and its partners to address priority public health issues, including sexual and reproductive health, over the long-term. Health care proposals should seek to: (1) assist the CTA and its partners in collecting, analyzing, and applying health information (2) build the capacity of the CTA and its partners to prevent, detect, and treat infectious diseases and other priority public health issues; and/or (3) develop the skill sets of health care providers, including awareness and implementation of treatment protocols, throughout the settlements. &amp;#149; Livelihoods. Activities in this area may include education. Projects are encouraged to include a livelihoods support component. Proposed livelihoods activities should be coordinated with relevant USAID programming, be based upon market assessments and analyses, and consider protection issues related to the proposed livelihood activities. Stand-alone vocational training not linked to income generating activities will not be considered for funding. For more information on building strong livelihoods programming, please refer to: http://womensrefugeecommission.org/programs/livelihoods. &amp;#149; Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH). Proposals may seek to address WASH needs in both rural and urban Tibetan refugee settlements. Programs should be developed and/or implemented in coordination with the CTA, the Tibetan community including Tibetan settlement officers, and appropriate agencies of the host government. NGOs are encouraged to submit a letter of support from the CTA for the proposed activities and/or overall country program. Evidence of community-level participation in development of proposals and setting of activity priorities is strongly encouraged. In Nepal: &amp;#149; Protection. Reception services for incoming refugees are provided by UNHCR. NGO activities designed to address the vulnerable situation of new Tibetan arrivals as well as the long-standing Tibetan population in Nepal are encouraged. &amp;#149; Health and Nutrition. PRM is particularly interested in proposals that build the capacity of the Tibetan community to address priority public health issues, including sexual and reproductive health, over the long-term. Activities should not duplicate services provided to Tibetans by local Nepalese health systems. Health care proposals are encouraged to develop the skill sets of Tibetan health care providers in Nepal, including awareness and implementation of treatment protocols, throughout the settlements. As appropriate, activities may seek to assist the Tibetan community in Nepal with the development and implementation of a sustainable and effective health information system that is compatible with ongoing efforts in the Tibetan settlements in India. &amp;#149; Livelihoods. Activities in this area may include informal education. Proposed livelihoods activities should be coordinated with relevant USAID programming, be based upon market assessments and analyses, and consider protection issues related to the proposed livelihood activities. Standalone vocational training not linked to income generating activities will not be considered for funding. Proposed activities must take into account the legal environment governing work status for Tibetan refugees in Nepal. &amp;#149; Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH). Proposals may seek to address WASH needs in both rural and urban Tibetan refugee settlements. NGO proposals are encouraged to include local capacity building elements across all sector areas in Nepal. Proposals should address the needs of Tibetan refugees in urban and rural settlements. Appropriate consideration should be given to norms and conditions in surrounding Nepali communities and parity in resource distribution, so that surrounding Nepali communities are supportive of and open to the continued presence of the Tibetan community. Relevant program components must be implemented in coordination with UNHCR, the Tibetan community including Tibetan settlement officers, and appropriate agencies of the host government. Evidence of community level participation in development of proposals and setting of activity priorities is strongly encouraged. NGOs are encouraged to submit a letter of support from the Tibetan community in Nepal as well as the Central Tibetan Administration in India for the proposed activities and/or overall country program. International Organizations (IOs) that are engaged in programs relevant to the assistance addressed by this PRM funding announcement should ensure that these programs are made known to PRM on or before the closing date of this funding announcement so that PRM can evaluate all IO and NGO programs for funding consideration.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligibility is limited to 39 states identified with having the highest rates of primary treatment admissions for heroin and opioids per capita, as identified by SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS): 2002 - 2012(1), (see Appendix IV for a list of eligible states).  The application must be submitted by the Single State Agency (SSA) for Substance Abuse within the state. Eligibility has been limited to these states because SAMHSA strongly believes that these 39 states represent the highest rates of primary treatment admissions with heroin and opiates per capita.  In addition, SAMHSA has identified 18 of these states that have demonstrated a dramatic increase in admissions for the treatment of opiates and heroin in recent years and will be given priority for funding.  This approach is consistent with the language used to describe the program in the Committee Report accompanying the FY 2015 Consolidated Appropriations Bill.

        <Description>The purpose of this program is to provide funding to states to enhance/expand their treatment service systems to increase capacity and provide accessible, effective, comprehensive, coordinated care, and evidence-based medication assisted treatment (MAT) and recovery support services to individuals with opioid use disorders seeking or receiving MAT. As a result of this program, SAMHSA seeks to: 1) increase the number of individuals receiving MAT services with pharmacotherapies approved by the FDA for the treatment of opioid use disorders; 2) increase the number of individuals receiving integrated care; and 3) decrease illicit drug use at 6-months follow-up. For the purpose of this RFA, integrated care is defined as the organized delivery and/or coordination of medical, behavioral or social and recovery support services provided to individual patients in order to produce better overall health outcomes for people that may have multiple healthcare needs. MAT is defined as the use of FDA-approved opioid agonist medications (e.g., methadone, buprenorphine products including buprenorphine/naloxone combination formulations and buprenorphine mono-product formulations) for the maintenance treatment of opioid use disorder and opioid antagonist medication (e.g., naltrexone products including extended-release and oral formulations) to prevent relapse to opioid use. MAT includes screening, assessment (which includes determination of severity of opioid use disorder, including presence of physical dependence and appropriateness for MAT) and case management. MAT is to be provided in combination with comprehensive substance use disorder treatment, including but not limited to: counseling, behavioral therapies and when needed pharmacotherapy for co-occurring alcohol use disorder. MAT is to be provided in a clinically driven, person-centered and individualized setting. Priority will be given to states (listed in Appendix V) that have not only demonstrated a high rate of primary treatment admissions for heroin and opioids per capita, but that have also demonstrated a dramatic increase in admissions in recent years. These states must include a statement confirming that their state has a rate of change for primary treatment admission for heroin and non-heroin opiates between the years 2007-2012 equal to or greater than 50 percent. In order to receive priority, this documentation must be included in Attachment 5.This program addresses SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Strategic Initiative on Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness. </Description>

        <Description>NIEHS is establishing an infrastructure, the Children&amp;apos;s Health Exposure Analysis Resource (CHEAR), to provide the extramural research community access to laboratory and statistical analyses to add or expand the inclusion of environmental exposures in their research. CHEAR is being solicited through three FOAs, this FOA solicits a network of laboratories providing a comprehensive suite of laboratory-based analytical services for samples derived from extant or ongoing children&amp;apos;s health studies in the extramural research community. Each laboratory center (defined in this FOA as a Hub) within the network will provide analysis of environmental and endogenous exposures through both targeted and untargeted approaches. Each Hub will also provide analyses of biological response indicators such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, immune/inflammation indicators and other molecular markers. Hubs will incorporate a developmental core to develop novel measures for exposures and responses, expanding the number of current, commonly measured analytes, and developing new methods for detecting analytes in other biological matrices, in addition to serum, plasma or urine. The Children&amp;apos;s Health Exposure Analysis Resource (CHEAR) is a multi-unit infrastructure to provide access to comprehensive exposure analysis that can be performed using biological samples collected in studies of children&amp;apos;s health. The network has three units, a National Exposure Assessment Laboratory Network and an Exposure Data Repository and Resource for Statistical Analysis and Methods Development, as well as a coordinating center. </Description>

        <Description>Phragmites australis has become a major problem in wetlands ecosystems in North America since the introduction of an aggressive genotype from Europe early in the twentieth century. This aggressive form has spread from the east coast to the Great Lakes and Pacific where it outcompetes native vegetation, leading to declines in plant species diversity and loss of critical habitats for fish, reptiles, and birds. While there is a plethora of papers to document its triumph, what is lacking is a mechanistic understanding of how Phragmites has achieved this daunting success and a cost effective means of combating this invasion. At the present, most common methods of Phragmites management such as flooding, burning, and spraying general herbicides lead to short-term environmental control without establishing a long-term solution. Researchers at Wayne State University have been exploring a novel approach that exploits gene-silencing technology to develop species-specific reduction in photosynthesis, root growth and seed set. Over the past 4 years (Phase 1), Wayne State had made significant progress on this technology. Researchers have focused on two areas: 1) The generation of an accessible genetic database for Phragmites and 2) The development and testing of multiple gene silencing approaches for Phragmites. The successful completion of the first area of research has resulted in the generation and partial annotation of a transcriptome library based on RNA extracted from field collected samples of rhizome, shoot meristem, leaf, and inflorescence tissue. The resultant database of processed contigs is searchable via common tools such as BLAST. Researchers at Wayne State have also begun to expand their scope to other invasive species to test whether gene silencing is a viable option for invasive plants with different growth forms than Phragmites. Lianas such as Celastrus orbiculatus (oriental bittersweet) and Lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle) have invaded mesic woodland habitats and have negatively impacted forest composition and growth through alleopathy, girdling, light competition, and uprooting (Ladwig and Meiners, 2009; Leicht-Young et al., 2013). Management treatments to control invasives in these more complex local communities cannot rely on non-specific burning or herbicides as native, slow-growing perennials such as trees would not rapidly recover. WSU will explore whether invasive species management and restoration approaches can be developed to deal with large monotypic, herbaceous communities as well as with aggressive invasive species that establish within diverse and mosaic communities. We propose the continuing development of an extremely novel management approach to control Phragmites and other invasive species and to allow the gradual restoration of native vegetation through restoring native species competitive advantages. The long-term objective of this work is produce practical tools for the restoration of marsh, wetland, and mesic forest communities through the non-destructive control of Phragmites and Celastrus. Work thus far has focused on the genetics of Phragmites and on the development of silencing vectors using surrogate lab-species including maize (Zea mays) and sunflower (Helianths annua). Researchers at WSU have characterized and compared transcriptome data sets from rhizome, meristem, stem and inflorescence tissue from field collected Phragmites tissue. In doing so, they have established analytical protocols that will be used for future targeted species. They have developed and tested the efficacy of gene silencing vectors in Phragmites, maize, and sunflower, and have achieved some positive results in reducing growth. The proposed work will expand and further develop this approach. The specific objectives for the new cooperative agreement include two new objectives that either aim to expedite and thus expand screenings of silencing constructs for their efficacy in silencing (Objective 1) or directly expand the scope of our work so that we are working on targeting new species in addition to Phragmites (Objective 2). The remaining three objectives continue our work and progress established during our first cooperative agreement (Objectives 3, 4, and 5). Specifically, our objectives are: 1. Establishment of a rapid, protoplast-based screening system whereby panels of multiple amiR (artificial microRNA), VIGS (viral induced gene silencing) vectors, and hairpin RNA vectors can be tested efficiently and expeditiously. 2. Isolation, description, and analysis of transcriptome data from Celastrus orbiculatus and Lonicera japonica, thereby producing a database to identify and target specific genes in these species. 3. Extension and expansion of our laboratory trials to establish which silencing vectors produce the strongest (negative) effects on morphology and physiology for the target species in the laboratory. 4. Testing of effects of most efficacious silencing vectors in Phragmites, maize, and sunflower in laboratory competition experiments to establish concept of species-specific competitive modifications. 5. Coordination and cooperation with USGS to establish field trials on Phragmites and other targeted invasive species. </Description>

The FY 2015 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Part C Capacity Development program provides one-time funds to build local capacity of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part C grantees to support a system-wide activity that addresses a gap in their local HIV Care Continuum. Grant funding under this program is not intended to support long-term activities. Instead, the proposed activity should be of a short-term nature and should be completed by the end of the one-year project period for this funding opportunity. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is for existing RWHAP Part C grantees only. Applicants may submit proposals for one of the following categories; 1) HIV Care Innovation, or 2) Infrastructure Development to address the gaps and need for a comprehensive continuum of outpatient HIV primary care services.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate research focused on the role of early-life factors in cancer development later in life.Given that current emerging evidence from limited research indicates a potentially important role for early-life events and exposures in cancer development, it is necessary to better understand 1) the early-life (maternal-paternal, in utero, birth and infancy, puberty and adolescence, and teenage and young adult years) factors that are associated with later cancer development; 2) how early-life factors mediate biological processes relevant to carcinogenesis; and 3) whether predictive markers for cancer risk based on what happens biologically at early-life can be measured and developed for use in cancer prevention strategies. Markers that predict malignancy or pre-malignant conditions would allow assessment of early-life exposures with relevant outcomes without having to wait 50 years for cancer development. Ultimately, a better mechanistic understanding of how early-life events and exposures contribute to the etiology of cancer later in life will allow for the development of effective interventions during pregnancy or early life that may have a profound impact on cancer prevention.</Description>

In addition to ensuring the aforementioned critical capability, the Defense Production Act Title III program&amp;#8217;s investment can potentially yield ancillary benefits. Potential benefits to the Navy as a result of upgrading outdated steel production facilities, tooling, and processes include reduced overhead costs related with the manufacturer&amp;#8217;s maintenance of aging resources, and lower costs associated with non-value added re-work for shipbuilders. Attention will be paid to enhancing merchant supplier capabilities in order to effectively serve the broad DoD and non-DoD communities.</Description>

Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned.

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Cambodia is issuing a Request for Applications (RFA) for a four-year, $8.5 million, Cooperative Agreement titled &amp;#8220;Cambodia Countering Trafficking-in-Persons (CTIP)&amp;#8221; program. The Cambodia CTIP program will build upon successes of past USAID supported activities and advance three inter-related objectives that work to reduce the risk of human trafficking and unsafe migration and build resilience to trafficking-in-persons (TIP) at individual, community and national levels. Key components of this three-pronged approach of the Cambodia CTIP program will focus on expanding economic, vocational, educational, and other livelihood opportunities for at-risk populations; improving the identification and protection of human trafficking victims; and increasing the likelihood of successful prosecution of perpetrators through legal aid and security sector training. Through the Cambodia CTIP program, USAID will coordinate closely with key stakeholders, including other U.S. government (USG) agencies and donors, while placing a particular emphasis on prevention, protection, and prosecution activities as well as building and strengthening partnerships to ensure effective implementation of the program and broader CTIP efforts. </Description>

        <CategoryExplanation>The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) of 2010 (P.L. 111-296) made significant changes to the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs in all aspects of program administration. These changes require that school nutrition personnel at every level of administration have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to properly operate and oversee the programs.  Among these requirements, Section 306 of the Act directed the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish minimum national professional standards for all school nutrition employees who manage and operate the School Meal Programs. Establishing professional standards will ensure that school nutrition personnel have the knowledge and training necessary to perform their duties and responsibilities effectively.  The proposed professional standards developed by USDA include minimum hiring standards for the selection of State directors and local school nutrition program directors; and continuing education/training requirements for all school nutrition program employees (79 FR 6488).  We anticipate that a final rule will be issued in early 2015, with the final requirements tentatively targeted for implementation July 1, 2015. While there will be modifications to the proposed rule based on public comments, the general training topics set forth in the proposed rule cover all key aspects of School Meal Program administration and may be relied upon in developing a training program.   This RFA is for a New Program and is a current fiscal year funding opportunity.   </CategoryExplanation>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES.

        <Description>In September 2000, the Pew Environmental Health Commission issued a report entitled &amp;#8220;America&amp;#8217;s Environmental Health Gap: Why the Country Needs a Nationwide Health Tracking Network.&amp;#8221; In this report, the Commission documented that the existing environmental health systems were inadequate and fragmented and recommended a &amp;#8220;Nationwide Health Tracking Network for disease and exposures.&amp;#8221; In response to the report, Congress appropriated funds in the fiscal year 2002&amp;#8217;s budget for the CDC to address this issue. What is Environmental Public Health Tracking? Environmental Public Health Tracking (Tracking) is the integrated surveillance of health, exposure, and hazard information and data from a variety of national, state, and local sources. These systems are critical in preventing and controlling disease in populations. Having accurate and timely tracking data permits public health authorities to determine temporal and spatial trends in disease and potential environmental exposures, identify populations most affected, and develop and assess the effectiveness of policy and environmental public health interventions. Tracking involves the utilization of data and information regarding health outcomes, environmental hazards, and human exposures, or a combination of them, and provides important information for public health practice. The availability of these types of data in a standardized network will enable researchers, public health authorities, healthcare practitioners, and the public to have a better understanding about the possible associations between the environment and adverse health effects. What is the National Tracking Network? A key characteristic of Tracking is the emphasis on data integration across health, human exposure, and hazard information systems. The National Tracking Network (Tracking Network) provides the United States with standardized data from multiple health, exposure, and hazard information systems that includes linkage of these data as part of regular tracking activities. The Tracking Network builds on separate ongoing efforts within the public health and environmental sectors to improve health tracking, hazard monitoring, and response capacity. Development of the Tracking Network depends on the availability, quality, timeliness, compatibility, and utility of existing hazard, exposure, and health outcome data. The major functions of the Tracking Network are to: &amp;#8226; Enable compilation of a core set of nationally consistent health and environmental data and measures &amp;#8226; Discover, describe, exchange, analyze, and manage data &amp;#8226; Make tools available for managing and analyzing the data &amp;#8226; Provide environmental public health information to the public Building a network to carry out these functions requires that many individuals and organizations coordinate efforts to develop and integrate various components to make data and information more accessible and more usable. Currently, CDC&amp;#8217;s Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (Tracking Program) funds 26 states/cities and works collaboratively with several prominent national partners to maintain and enhance the capabilities and reach of the Tracking Network. The CDC Environmental Public Health Tracking Program and NAPHSIS Since 2002, the CDC Tracking Program has developed workforce capacity to address the abovementioned issues and provided tools and infrastructure to support this workforce. Data that was previously disjointed is now available in a nationally standardized format (i.e., Tracking Network) allowing programs to begin bridging the gap between health and the environment. This cooperative agreement will support the ongoing collaboration with the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems (NAPHSIS) to assist with the development of standards and principles to effectively administer or integrate public health statistics and information systems into the Tracking Network. NAPHSIS will market Tracking Program activities and products to promote greater collaboration among vital records, health statistics, and health information systems professionals in providing environmental and health data information to policy makers and the public. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for a new project entitled &amp;#8220;Strengthening and Improving the HIV Care Continuum within RWHAP Part A Jurisdictions.&amp;#8221; The purpose of this technical assistance (TA) cooperative agreement (CA) is to: 1) affect positive outcomes along the HIV care continuum by providing guidance and technical assistance to Part A jurisdictions across the country using a collaborative learning approach and rapid improvement principles and practices; 2) apply data-driven, evidence-based and evidence-informed strategies for improving population-level HIV outcomes across Part A jurisdictions and their systems of care; and 3) scale-up interventions to improve HIV outcomes by stimulating action across jurisdictions and among many partners. It is anticipated that this TA CA will: provide a virtual platform, utilizing available technology, that facilitates the rapid exchange of information and ideas for participating jurisdictions; assist with methods to collect and understand the availability of relevant data and its utilization in tracking improvements along the HIV Care continuum; produce measurable improvements using the process of collaborative learning and rapid improvement principles and practices over 12-36 months among Part A jurisdictions across multiple measures in the HIV care continuum; increase leadership among health department/organizational staff and Part A grantee project directors, and synergy with planning body leadership, HIV service providers, and other public and private partners around evidence-based and evidence-informed strategies to improve HIV care continuum outcomes; and create a unified message and collection of best practices based on the experiences of participating jurisdictions that can be adopted and amended by all jurisdictions to improve HIV-related outcomes. Six of the seven HHS HIV measures will be used as a framework to make a meaningful impact at a population level across all 53 Part A jurisdictions, with more significant change anticipated for those 10 jurisdictions of focus in year 02-03 (as depicted on page 2 that follows).</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) is to strengthen the public&amp;#8217;s and/or K-12 students environmental literacy to enable informed decision-making necessary for community resilience to extreme weather events and environmental changes. Many U.S. communities face significant environmental changes, natural disasters, or economic disruptions (U.S Department of Commerce FY2014-FY2018 Strategic Plan). Projected future environmental changes include increased global temperatures, more frequent heat waves, rising sea levels, increased frequency of extreme precipitation events, acidification of the ocean, modifications of growing seasons, changes in storm frequency and intensity, alterations in species ranges and migration patterns, earlier snowmelt, increased drought, and altered river flow volumes (NOAA&amp;#8217;s Next Generation Strategic Plan, 2010; The Third National Climate Assessment, 2014). Communities must increase their resilience now and build a long-term foundation for resilience in the future. Projects should build the environmental literacy necessary for community resilience by focusing on geographic awareness and an understanding of Earth systems and the threats and vulnerabilities that are associated with a community&amp;#8217;s location. In order for communities to become more resilient, their members must have the ability to reason about the ways that human and natural systems function and interact; to understand the scientific process and uncertainty; to reason about the ways that people and places are connected to each other across time and space; and to weigh the potential impacts of their decisions systematically. Projects will be based on the latest science about the threats and vulnerabilities facing communities and consider socio-economic and ecological factors. NOAA will consider funding a wide range of project types, but all projects must actively engage participants in learning about and addressing real-world issues. Projects must utilize NOAA&amp;#8217;s vast scientific data, data access tools, data visualizations, and/or other physical and intellectual assets available on these topics. In order to facilitate the use of NOAA&amp;#8217;s assets, projects are strongly encouraged to involve partnerships with relevant NOAA entities (offices, programs, etc.) and/or NOAA employees and affiliates. NOAA&amp;apos;s education website (www.education.noaa.gov) and an additional list of relevant assets (http://www.oesd.noaa.gov/grants/NOAA_assets.html) provide links to NOAA datasets, potential NOAA partners, and other resources connected with many of these topics. Project topics must relate to NOAA&amp;apos;s mission in the areas of ocean, coastal, Great Lakes, weather, and climate sciences and stewardship and should focus on one or more of the goals of NOAA&amp;apos;s Next Generation Strategic Plan (http://www.ppi.noaa.gov/goals/): healthy oceans; weather-ready nation; climate adaptation and mitigation; and resilient coastal communities and economies. Eligible applicants for this funding opportunity are limited to institutions of higher education; other nonprofits, including informal education institutions such as museums, zoos, and aquariums; K-12 public and independent schools and school systems; and state, local and Indian tribal governments in the United States. For-profit organizations, foreign institutions, and individuals are not eligible to apply. Eligible applicants may submit an individual application or submit as part of a collaborative team of two or more eligible institutions. Proposed projects must be between 2 and 5 years in duration and have total federal requests of $250,000 to $500,000 for all years of the project. It is anticipated that awards funded under this announcement this fiscal year will be made by September 30, 2015 and that the projects funded under this announcement will have a start date no earlier than October 1, 2015. Note: Links to this announcement and other helpful information for applying are available at http://www.oesd.noaa.gov/grants/elg.html#page=funding. </Description>

        <Description>This project will provide an opportunity for youth over a five-year period to successfully make an estimated 1,400 seed collections of foundation native plant species in the eastern United States to restore tidal marshes and beaches that were impacted by Hurricane Sandy. The youth will be part of the Conservation and Land Management Internship Program (CLM) administered through the Chicago Botanic Garden, and will be properly trained to use the Seeds of Success Technical Protocol. The CLM program places 75-100 youth per year on BLM public land, National Forests, FWS refuges and NPS parks. Our project will engage the next generation of land stewards who are committed to the protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural and cultural resources along the Eastern seaboard. The youth will be placed with 3 seed collection coordinating centers in the East - New England Wild Flower Society, Greenbelt Native Plant Center in New York City, and North Carolina Botanical Garden, all of whom are Seeds of Success partners. The public is already concerned about future impacts of climate change on public lands and this project will address those concerns in a scientifically supported manner. Locally adapted, regionally appropriate and genetically diverse plant materials are key to effective restoration projects today and to increasing the resilience of coastal habitats to future storms and sea level rise. Not only will this conserve coastal habitat themselves, but also the fish and wildlife species they support, and their associated ecosystem services, including flood abatement and other economic and recreational benefits. The public benefits from sustained health and productivity of public lands, and improved reclamation and restoration of disturbed public land. The public will only view benefits from this project and will have no problems or concerns with the project. The Secretary of the Interior recently announced an ambitious initiative to reconnect youth to the outdoors. For the health of our economy and our public lands, it&amp;#65533;s critical to establish meaningful and deep connections between young people- from every background and every community and the great outdoors. Ramping up the 21st Century Conservation Corps and developing the next generation of land stewards and diverse, future workforce are key objectives. </Description>

        <Description>BLM CA has been working with the Amargosa Conservancy for establishing baselines for ground water hydrographs within the region. BLM has installed monitoring wells on public lands within the Amargosa River ACEC. With both BLM and Amargosa Conservancy having the same end results in working with private landowners to conduct much of the restoration on BLM and private lands in the region. BLM will continue to work on joint restoration planning and coordination to continue the monitoring of ground water and control invasive species and restore habitat within the California portion of the Amargosa River watershed. The benefit of having a recipient monitoring resources in addition to the ground water will assist BLM in the development of the Amargosa Wild and Scenic River AWSR management plan especially in data development. A recipient must be able to access all data for this projects that have transpired for the past several years and BLM needs to stay consistent with the same database lines.</Description>

        <Description>The purposes of this amendment are to: 1. Revise Section VIII.B., Informational Webinar to indicate a time of 11:00am-12:00pm ET on 3/10/2015; and 2. Revise Table E2: Catalyst Support Cycle &amp;amp; Metrics under Appendix E. The Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) is a key component of the Department of Energy?s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) portfolio. The FCTO aims to provide clean, safe, secure, affordable, and reliable energy from diverse domestic resources, providing the benefits of increased energy security and reduced criteria pollutants and green-house gas emissions by adopting a technology?neutral approach toward applied research, develoment, and demonstration to address both key technical challenges for fuel cells and hydrogen fuels (i.e. hydrogen production, delivery and storage) and institutional barriers such as hydrogen codes and standards. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) covers a broad spectrum of the FCTO portfolio with areas of interest ranging from research and development (R&amp;amp;D) to demonstration and deployment projects. In particular, the R&amp;amp;D areas of interest for this FOA include hydrogen production via microbial biomass conversion; low pla tinum group metals (PGM) catalyst development for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell applications; development of an integrated intelligent hydrogen dispenser; and fuel cell and hydrogen manufacturing R&amp;amp;D focusing on hydrogen delivery pipeline manufacturing R&amp;amp;D. This FOA also includes demonstration subtopics that will help to accelerate adoption of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies with specific interest in mobile hydrogen refuelers, fuel cell powered range extenders for light-duty hybrid electric vehicles, and a Communities of Excellence subtopic featuring hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. The eXCHANGE system enforces hard deadlines for Concept Paper and Full Application submissions. The APPLY and SUBMIT buttons automatically disable at the defined submission deadlines. The intention of this design is to consistently enforce a standard deadline for all applicants. Applicants that experience issues with submissions PRIOR to the FOA Deadline: In the event that an Applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission, the Applicant should contact the eXCHANGE helpdesk for assistance (exchangehelp@hq.doe.gov). The eXCHANGE helpdesk &amp;amp;/or the EERE eXCHANGE System Administrators (eXCHANGE@ee.doe.gov) will assist the Applicant in resolving all issues. Applicants that experience issues with submissions that result in a late submission: In the event that an Applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission that results in a late submission, the Applicant should contact the eXCHANGE helpdesk for assistance (exchangehelp@hq.doe.gov). The eXCHANGE helpdesk &amp;amp;/or the EERE eXCHANGE System Administrators (eXCHANGE@ee.doe.gov) will assist the Applicant in resolving all issues (including finalizing the submission on behalf of and with the Applicant?s concurrence). DOE will only accept late applications when the Applicant has a) encountered technical difficulties beyond their control; b) has contacted the eXCHANGE helpdesk for assistance, and c) has submitted the application through eXCHANGE within 24 hours of the FOA?s posted deadline. There will be an Informational Webinar held on March 10, 2015 from 11:00am - 12:00pm ET. Standard application questions regarding the EERE Office and FOA procedures will be discussed.

        <Description>It is essential that fisheries management decisions be based on a sound empirical knowledge of the history, current status, and dynamics of fish communities and fisheries. The most fundamental requirements for sound management of recreational fisheries are knowledge of the response of fish stocks to fishing and of the contributions of various fish stocks to the fisheries. This knowledge can be obtained via creel surveys which estimate recreational fishing effort, catch, and catch composition. Recreational catch and effort data have been utilized in mathematical models which depict fishery dynamics and these models form the basis for development of Great Lakes and inland fishery management plans. Currently, there is a lack of recreational data for the Detroit River boat fishery. To address this lack, the Michigan DNR will conduct an access-site creel survey, in conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, during the 2015 open-water season (March &amp;#8211; September), to estimate effort, catch and harvest, catch and harvest rates, and catch composition for Detroit River fisheries. Because access to the Detroit River fishery is so diverse the optimal method for collecting effort data is to employ fixed-wing aircraft to fly over the river and count fishing boats. MIDNR is requesting funding needed to employ these aerial contractors and to adjust software to collect air flight creel data. Objectives: 1) To obtain a record of sport fishing effort, catch and harvest, catch and harvest rates, and catch composition for fisheries in the Detroit River. 2) To provide consistent protocols and data collection methods, program oversight, and timely data analysis of recreational fisheries statistics for the Detroit River boat fishery to Fisheries Division managers, outside agency biologists and the interested public. Methods. The angler survey will be conducted from March 15 through September 15, 2015. The river will break into two sections, upper and lower, and only one section will be creeled during any one survey day. Boat anglers will be counted by aerial contractors and be interviewed by a creel clerk at the end of their fishing trip at access sites along at the upper and lower river sections. One Michigan Department of Natural Resources creel clerk will work 40-hours per week to complete the survey using a progressive roving-access points design (Lockwood et al. 1999). Two weekend days and three randomly selected weekdays will be sampled each week. Only boat anglers will be counted and interviewed. If possible, non-fishing recreational boats will also be counted to obtain information on non-angling, recreational boat use in the Detroit River. Two types of data will be collected: angler interviews for fish catch and effort information, and counts of boat anglers for effort. Clerks will interview each individual angler or boat that returns to the access sites during the scheduled shift. Date, time and interview site will be recorded for all interviews. When the boater did not fish, this will be recorded on the form as a non-fishing party and the interview will be ended. When fishing occurs, anglers will be queried for where on the river they fished, how long they fished, what species of fish they fished for, the numbers (by species) of fish they caught and numbers kept, and the number of fishing trips they made or intended to make that day. Fishing effort will be determined through boat counts made by a fixed-wing aircraft. One count of boats will be made each survey day. Data will be entered into a specialized data entry application. The starting point for counts and interviews will alternate following a randomized count and interview schedule. One eight-hour shift (between 6:00 am and 4:00 pm or between 10:30 am and 10:00 pm) will be worked each sampling day, with starting and ending times varying each month with daylight period. Estimates of three measures of fishing effort: angler-hours, angler-trips and angler-days will be generated from this angler survey. Other estimates generated from data collected during this creel survey will include: number of fish harvested (caught and kept by anglers), number of fish caught and released, and species-specific catch rates. Standard mathematical formulas for creel surveys will be used to calculate all estimates (Lockwood et al. 1999). Uncertainty estimates for all catch and effort estimates will be defined as two standard deviations of their mean estimates (2 times the square root of the variance for an estimate). Planned Products and Dissemination of Research Results Products produced will be estimates of sport fishing effort, catch and harvest, catch and harvest rates, and catch composition for the Detroit River boat fishery. Also produced will be summaries of demographic information about Detroit River boat anglers and biological information from the fish they harvest. Angler survey data from this study will be used by State biologists, other agencies (e.g., GLFC, Sea Grant, and USGS), universities (Fisheries scientists, Sociologists, Economists), public and stakeholders (e.g., Anglers, Angling Organizations, Charter Operators, and Media). Uses for the data include: stocking evaluation, regulation evaluation, quota / total allowable catch development, status and trends evaluation etc. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES.

        <Description>The purpose of the project is to understand how bendway weir installations impact the ecology and hydrology of the MRG. To date, there has been limited evidence that restoration projects in the form of operational changes from dams or placement of structures provide benefits to aquatic habitat; many restoration projects fail to collect data that can be used as a metric for success upon implementation. Extensive monitoring of a field installation, especially if monitoring also occurs pre-construction, can help evaluate the usefulness of bendway weirs on the MRG as a mechanism for improving biological habitat for aquatic organisms; including organisms important as food resources for the federally endangered Rio Grande Silvery Minnow (Hybognathus amarus; RGSM).</Description>

Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/.

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services, is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 &amp;#8220;Now is the Time&amp;#8221; Project AWARE-Community (Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C) grants. The purpose of this program is to support the training of teachers and a broad array of actors who interact with youth through their programs at the community level, including parents, law enforcement, faith-based leaders, and other adults, in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) or Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA). Implementation of the NITT-AWARE-C program is expected to increase the mental health literacy among youth-serving adults, policy-makers, and administrators of programs serving youth. Just over 20 percent of children, either currently or at some point in their life, will experience had a serious mental disorder. Seventy percent of youth in juvenile justice systems have at least one mental health condition and at least 20 percent live with a severe mental illness. As more people, and particularly youth, experience mental distress, there is a need for increased mental health literacy and basic mental health training for the public. At times, mental health services are not provided to youth who need them. The reasons include the failure to recognize problems, fear of negative attitudes and discrimination, and lack of resources (Cowell, 2013). Adolescents are particularly dependent on adults for recognition of mental health problems, provision of adequate support, and referrals to help (Jorm, Kitchener, and Sawyer, 2010). Developing the appropriate social support system has been shown to reduce the risk of developing mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders (Jorm, et.al, 2010). In January 2013, the President put forward a plan &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Now is the Time&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; which combined executive actions and calls for legislative action that would, among other things, increase access to mental health services. The &amp;#8220;Now is the Time&amp;#8221; plan can be found at http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/preventing-gun-violence. The NITT-AWARE-C program is expanding the MHFA and YMHFA training to achieve a wider community impact by training a more diverse group of adults who, in turn, will reach a broader spectrum of adolescents or transition-aged youth within the communities. For the purpose of this RFA, adolescents refer to youth 12 to 18 years of age, and transition-aged youth refers to youth 16 to 24 years of age. By training an increased number of adults to be MHFA or YMHFA First Aiders, a community can move toward wide-scale knowledge of behavioral health issues that affect youth and become more effective in addressing behavioral health issues affecting adolescents or transition-aged youth. The implementation of MHFA or YMHFA is most impactful when the training is integrated with a coordinated community-wide plan, which addresses strategic and system-wide change that will improve youth outcomes. More detailed information on MHFA and YMHFA, including estimated costs and links to additional resources, can be found in Appendix II of the RFA. The NITT-AWARE-C program closely aligns with SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s strategic initiative on Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness. This grant program aims to support communities where individuals, families, schools, and community-based organizations take action to promote emotional health and reduce the likelihood of mental and substance use disorders. NITT-AWARE-C grants are authorized under section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD. </Description>

        <Description>The intent of the Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be small- to large-scale projects, at different stages of idea and research development. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Two additional funding levels, Funding Levels 3 and 4, are available under a different Program Announcement (W81XWH-15-BCRP-BREAKTHROUGH_FL34). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed. The funding level should be selected based on the scope of the research project, rather than the amount of the budget. The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level: &amp;#8226; Funding Level 1: Innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that is in the earliest stages of idea development. Research with potential to yield new avenues of investigation. Proof of concept. No preliminary data required. &amp;#8226; Funding Level 2: Research that is already supported by preliminary data and has potential to make significant advancements toward clinical translation. Demonstration of efficacy in in vivo models, as applicable. Partnering PI Option: The Breakthrough Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate two PIs, called the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI, each of whom will receive a separate award. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work (SOW), and other required components. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each PI is expected to bring distinct contributions to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the PIs to describe how their combined expertise will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts. To meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option, applicants are discouraged from submitting as a Partnering PI on multiple applications unless they are clearly addressing distinct research questions. Applications submitted by a mentor and his/her current postdoctoral fellow or junior investigator as Initiating and Partnering PIs do not meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option.</Description>

        <Description>The National Organic Certification Cost Share program (NOCCSP) is authorized under section 10606(d)(1) of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 7901 note), as amended by section 10004(c) of the Agriculture Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill; Pub. L. 113&amp;#8211;79). Under this authority, Congress authorizes the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide organic certification cost share assistance to organic operations (producers and handlers) located within the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. Territories including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the United States Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (subsequently, referred to as states or state agencies). The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) administers the NOCCSP using relevant sections of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and the Uniform Grant Guidance, 2 CFR 200. AMS awards NOCCSP funds to eligible state agencies, which operate as a pass-through system, by accepting and approving their applications so that they can issue reimbursements to organic operations for specific organic certification costs. In federal fiscal year 2015, the available funding for the NOCCSP is approximately $10.3M. This is the initial request for applications from state agencies, in accordance with the issuance of the AMS &amp;#8220;Organic Certification Cost Share Program Fiscal Year 2015 Terms and Conditions&amp;#8221; which outlines the eligibility and performance criteria for state agencies seeking NOCCSP funds. The AMS may issue multi-year grant agreements to allocate funds to eligible state agencies, using performance and past expenditures as the primary factor to determine, if any, additional funds should be allocated after the initial request. Certified organic operations may request reimbursement for specific certification costs incurred from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. The state agencies may provide reimbursements to certified organic operators for up to 75% of the operation&amp;#8217;s total allowable certification costs, up to a maximum of $750 per certification scope: crops, livestock, wild crops, and for handling (i.e. processing). To receive cost share assistance, certified organic producers and handlers must contact their respective State Department of Agriculture. Additional procedures on the NOCCSP and how state agencies can apply are outlined in the AMS &amp;#8220;Organic Certification Cost Share Program Fiscal Year 2015 Terms and Conditions&amp;#8221; document at http://bit.ly/CostShareGen </Description>

        <Description>The BCRP Distinguished Investigator Award enables established visionary leaders from any field to pursue innovative ideas that could accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. These individuals should be exceptionally talented researchers who have shown that they are leaders in their field(s) through extraordinary creativity, vision, and productivity. The Principal Investigator (PI) is expected to have a renowned reputation as a researcher who has made groundbreaking contributions to advancing his/her field. He/she should have demonstrated success at forming and leading effective partnerships and collaborations. Through his/her distinguished record of research and leadership, the PI should demonstrate the potential to make unique and significant advances in breast cancer. The central feature of the Distinguished Investigator Award is that the PI must propose research that is a fundamental shift from his/her track record of research and addresses one or more BCRP overarching challenge(s). Proposals that are a continuation or incremental change from the PI&amp;#8217;s published line of research do not meet the intent of this award. High-risk/high-reward proposals with limited preliminary data are welcomed, but not required. All applications must include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Experience in breast cancer research is not required; however, the application must focus on breast cancer. Individuals from other disciplines who will apply novel concepts to breast cancer are encouraged to submit. The PI is expected to assemble a research team that will provide the necessary expertise and collaborative efforts toward accomplishing the research goals. If the PI does not have experience in breast cancer, inclusion of at least one collaborator with breast cancer expertise on the research team is required. The PI&amp;#8217;s research team must also include two or more breast cancer consumer advocates. As lay representatives, the consumer advocates must be individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are actively involved in a breast cancer advocacy organization. Their role should be independent of their employment, and they cannot be employees of any of the organizations participating in the application. The consumer advocates should have a high level of knowledge of current breast cancer issues and the necessary background or training in breast cancer research to contribute to the project. Their role should be focused on providing objective input on the research and its potential impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer.</Description>

        <Description>The BMFRP Idea Development Award is intended to support innovative ideas and high-impact approaches based on scientifically sound evidence to move toward the BMFRP vision of understanding and curing BMF diseases. This award mechanism is designed to support new ideas. Proposed research studies should have a high probability of revealing new avenues of investigation. Research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and a developed and well-articulated research approach. Personnel on the proposed team should have a strong background in BMF research. This funding opportunity is open to established and early career investigators. New for FY15: To encourage the application of early career investigators to the FY15 Idea Development Award Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity, the FY15 BMFRP has included an opportunity for one or more scientifically meritorious applications from applicants fitting the outlined description of an early career investigator. All early career investigators will be assessed using different criteria for Personnel during the review process (Section III. B.1, Personnel). The definition of an early career investigator for the BMFRP is an investigator within 10 years of completing a terminal degree (doctorate or any medical degree), excluding time spent in medical residency, or during family medical leave. This should be clearly articulated by the applicant in the biographical sketch. </Description>

        <Description>The intent of the Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be small- to large-scale projects, at different stages of idea and research development. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement. Two additional funding levels, Funding Levels 1 and 2, are available under a different Program Announcement (W81XWH-15-BCRP-BREAKTHROUGH_FL12). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed. The funding level should be selected based on the scope of the research project, rather than the amount of the budget. The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level: &amp;#8226; Funding Level 3: Advanced translational studies that have potential for near-term clinical investigation. Small-scale clinical trials may apply. &amp;#8226; Funding Level 4: Large-scale projects that will transform and revolutionize the clinical management and/or prevention of breast cancer. Near-term clinical impact is expected. PIs are expected to have experience in successfully leading large-scale projects. Note: An invited oral presentation is a requirement for application review of Funding Level 4 projects, as described in Section II.C., Application Submission Content and Forms. Partnering PI Option: The Breakthrough Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate two PIs, called the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI, each of whom will each receive a separate award. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work (SOW), and other required components. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each PI is expected to bring distinct contributions to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the PIs to describe how their combined expertise will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts. To meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option, applicants are discouraged from submitting as a Partnering PI on multiple applications unless they are clearly addressing distinct research questions. Applications submitted by a mentor and his/her current postdoctoral fellow or junior investigator as Initiating and Partnering PIs do not meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option.</Description>

        <Description>The Innovator Award supports visionary individuals who have demonstrated exceptional creativity, innovative work, and paradigm-shifting leadership in any field including, but not limited to, breast cancer. The Innovator Award will provide these individuals with the funding and freedom to pursue their most novel, visionary, high-risk ideas that could accelerate progress to ending breast cancer. Since the intent of the Innovator Award mechanism is to recognize these remarkably creative and innovative, visionary individuals rather than projects, the central feature of the award is the innovative contribution that the Principal Investigator (PI) can make toward ending breast cancer. The PI should have a past record of challenging the status quo, shifting paradigms by changing a field of research or approach to patient care, exhibiting high levels of creativity, and demonstrating promise for continued innovation in future work. These rare individuals will be able to articulate a vision for ending breast cancer that challenges current dogma and demonstrates an ability to look beyond tradition and convention. The PI is also expected to be established in his/her field and have demonstrated success at forming and leading effective partnerships and collaborations. To further the development of innovative individuals and spark the generation of novel ideas, applications are required to incorporate the mentoring of promising junior investigators. Experience in breast cancer research is not required; however, the application must focus on breast cancer, and the PI must maintain a 50% dedication of his/her full-time professional effort during the award period to breast cancer research. This professional effort in breast cancer research can be through a combination of this award and other current support. Individuals from other disciplines who will apply novel concepts to breast cancer are encouraged to submit. The PI is expected to assemble a research team that will provide the necessary expertise and collaborative efforts toward accomplishing the research goals. The PI&amp;#8217;s research team must include two or more breast cancer consumer advocates. As lay representatives, the consumer advocates must be individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are actively involved in a breast cancer advocacy organization. Their role should be independent of their employment, and they cannot be employees of any of the organizations participating in the application. The consumer advocates should have a high level of knowledge of current breast cancer issues and the necessary background or training in breast cancer research to contribute to the project. Their role should be focused on providing objective input on the research and its potential impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer.</Description>

        <Description>The Agricultural Management Assistance Organic Certification Cost Share (AMA) is authorized under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (FCIA), as amended, (7 U.S.C. 1524). Under this authority, Congress authorizes the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide organic certification cost share assistance to certified organic operations (only producers) located in the following sixteen (16) States: Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) administers the AMA using relevant sections of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and the Uniform Grant Guidance, 2 CFR 200. AMS awards AMA funds to eligible State Agencies, which operate as a pass-through system, by accepting and approving their applications so they can issue reimbursements to certified organic operations for specific certification costs. In federal fiscal year 2015, the available funding for the AMA is approximately $900,000. This is the initial request for applications from sixteen State Agencies, in accordance with the issuance of the AMS &amp;#8220;Organic Certification Cost Share Programs Fiscal Year 2015 Terms and Conditions&amp;#8221;, which outlines the eligibility and performance criteria for State Agencies seeking annual AMA funds. Certified organic producers may request reimbursement for specific certification costs incurred from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. To receive AMA cost share assistance, certified organic producers must contact their respective State Department of Agriculture. Additional procedures for applying are outlined in the AMS &amp;#8220;Organic Certification Cost Share Programs Fiscal Year 2015 Terms and Conditions&amp;#8221; document at http://bit.ly/CostShareGen </Description>

EPA recognizes that given the trends of growing costs and increasing resource pressures, the need to support the environmental work of regulated communities through vehicles such as the regional Environmental Finance Centers is as important and timely as ever. The EFC&amp;#8217;s will be established and supported in EPA regions across the country to provide regulated parties with finance-related training, technical assistance, finance studies, and other analytical support (eligible services) to help them develop sustainable solutions to the critical &amp;#8220;how-to-pay&amp;#8221; issues associated with meeting environmental standards and goals.</Description>

        <Description>NEH&amp;#8217;s Division of Public Programs supports activities that engage millions of Americans in understanding significant humanities works and ideas. The Bridging Cultures through Film: International Topics program supports films that examine international themes and subjects in the humanities. The films are meant to spark Americans&amp;#8217; engagement with the broader world by exploring countries and cultures outside of the United States. The Division of Public Programs encourages innovative nonfiction storytelling that presents multiple points of view in creative formats. At the center of every NEH-funded film is a core set of humanities ideas developed with the input of scholars, matched to imaginative formats that bring the humanities alive for people of all ages and all walks of life. The proposed film must be analytical and deeply grounded in humanities scholarship. It may be as short as thirty minutes or as long as a feature-length film. We invite a wide range of approaches to international topics and themes, such as &amp;#8226; an examination of a critical issue in ethics, religion, literature, or history, viewed through an international lens; &amp;#8226; an exploration of a topic that transcends a single nation-state; &amp;#8226; a biography of a foreign leader, writer, artist, or historical figure; or &amp;#8226; an exploration of the history and culture(s) of a specific region, country, or community outside of the United States. </Description>

        <Description>1. The Program implements an interdisciplinary approach to resource stewardship that takes advantage of the similarities between DoD&amp;apos;s natural and cultural resources programs. Often the same person is responsible for managing both natural and cultural resources plans on an installation. Legacy strives to take advantage of this by sharing management methodologies and techniques across natural and cultural resources initiatives.2. The Program promotes understanding and appreciation for natural and cultural resources by encouraging greater awareness and involvement by both the Military Departments or Services, other agencies, NGOs, and the general public.3. The Legacy Program incorporates an ecosystem approach that assists DoD in maintaining biological diversity and the sustainable use of land and water resources for mission and other uses.4. Additionally, the Program works to achieve common goals and objectives by applying resource management initiatives in broad regional areas. Legacy supports regionally-based projects such as the Sonoran Ecosystem Management Initiative, the Gulf Coast Plain Ecosystem Partnership, the Great Basin Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay Program, and Partners in Flight.5. Finally, the Legacy Program pursues the identification of innovative new technologies that enable more efficient and effective management.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Health Infrastructure Investment Program (HIIP) for existing Health Center Program grantees to increase their patient capacity and to provide additional comprehensive primary and preventive health services to medically underserved populations through the alteration/renovation, expansion, or construction of a facility. HIIP funding will support one capital project at a new or existing site within the applicant&amp;#8217;s approved scope of project for the following project types: &amp;#183; Alteration/renovation (A/R): This project type can include work required to modernize, improve, and/or reconfigure the interior arrangements of an existing facility; work to improve and/or replace exterior envelope; work to improve accessibility (such as sidewalks and ramps), and/or life safety requirements in an existing facility. This type of project would not increase the total square footage of an existing building and does not require ground disturbance or footings. This type of project may include the purchase of related moveable equipment.[1] &amp;#183; Construction/expansion (C/E): This project type can include the construction of a new stand-alone structure and/or associated work required to expand a structure to increase the total square feet of a facility.[2] Construction projects may include the installation of a permanently affixed modular or prefabricated building and/or the purchase of related moveable equipment. Eligible health center applicants may submit only one HIIP application proposing one site-specific, stand-alone facility project. HIIP applicants must demonstrate how the alteration/renovation, and/or construction/expansion project will improve their capacity to provide comprehensive primary and preventive health services to medically underserved populations. [1] Moveable equipment includes non-expendable items with a useful life of more than one year that are not permanently affixed and can be easily moved. Examples include x-ray equipment, freezers, autoclaves, furniture, administrative equipment, (i.e., computers, servers, telephones, fax machines, copying machines, software)), and special purpose equipment used for medical activities (e.g., stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors, scales, electronic thermometers). Office supplies (e.g., paper, pencils, toner, etc.), medical supplies (e.g., syringes, blood tubes, plastic gloves, etc.), and educational supplies (e.g., pamphlets, educational videotapes, etc.) are not defined as moveable equipment and are unallowable. [2] If a proposed facility expansion project also includes alteration/renovation to the existing structure, this falls under the construction project type.</Description>

        <Description>The Office on Women&amp;apos;s Health (OWH) provides national leadership and coordination to improve the health of women and girls through policy, education, and model programs. OWH works with numerous government agencies, non-profit organizations, consumer groups, and associations of health care professionals to advance this mission. OWH has a history of working to stop violence against women and girls in the United States and around the world through education, programs and policy. In past years, OWH has focused on how violence affects women with disabilities, men as partners in prevention of violence, and the role of colleges and universities in preventing sexual assault and violence against women. From 2010 &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; 2013, OWH implemented the Health and Wellness Initiative for Women Attending 3 Minority Institutions, which supported eight minority-serving institutions (two Hispanic-Serving Institutions, four Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and two Tribal Colleges and Universities) in conducting women&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s health promotion activities, expanding health services and resources for women, and offering on-going HIV education and screening sessions. Additionally, each grantee created institutional policies and partnerships that addressed the prevention of violence against women.</Description>

        <Description>This program will support implementation of the Island Lake Fire Burned Area Rehabilitation (BAR) Plan. This BAR plan describes activities and treatments for lands and wildlife habitats burned during the Island Lake Fire. The fire burned wetland, riparian and upland vegetation composed of a mix of native and exotic species. The primary fire carrier was common reed (Phragmites australis), which allowed the fire to spread quickly throughout the river corridor. Dense stands of exotic saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) and areas with sparse and healthy stands of native mesquite, cottonwood, and willow were also consumed. Potential restoration sites were initially evaluated based on vegetation, site conditions, soils, water table depth, and fire severity. Sites were then prioritized based on the probability for restoration success. Strategic restoration efforts will be focused in areas encompassing about 6 percent (ca 200 acres) of the overall 3,304 acre fire. The identified restoration areas will be further refined through on the ground evaluation of desirable site characteristics listed above. The primary rehabilitation concern is re establishment of native wildlife habitats including riparian cottonwood and willow forest and mesquite woodlands. These habitats are increasingly rare and very productive for a diversity of wildlife species. This rehabilitation effort will focus on facilitated recovery of native species through integrated removal and herbicide treatment of exotics, cottonwood and willow pole planting, mesquite seeding, and flood irrigation. Activities under this funding opportunity will include, but are not limited to:Preparing restoration site boat accessAssistance with restoration site assessmentsRemoval of non-native saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) and common reed (Phragmites australis) through manual removal or herbicide treatmentsSite preparation activities such as raking, irrigating, and soil preparationMesquite seed collectionCottonwood and willow pole harvestingPole planting of cottonwood and willowMequite seedingFlood irrigationThis opportunity will require frequent boat travel and labor intensive work in harsh environmental conditions. Summer temperatures can reach well over 100 degrees, and there is high potential to encounter venomous reptiles, stinging insects, and thorny plants. Funding recipients will be required to provide their own hand tools, water, food, and vehicle transportation to the refuge headquarters. The The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will provide boat transportation to the work sites.The Service under the Island Lake Fire BAR Plan intends to award a single source award to the Arizona State Forestry Division This program&amp;apos;s goal is to restore native forest along the Colorado River. The Arizona State Forestry Division has a great deal of expertise in burned area and forest rehabilitation. In addition, the Division has a fire crew headquartered locally in Yuma that can devote a large number of individuals to meet the objectives of the Island Lake Fire BARe Plan in a cost efficient manner. This crew is also self sufficient with trained sawyers and herbicide applicators. The Arizona State Forestry Division is a local partner, familiar with the Colorado River riparian environment, and with the resources and internal capacity to maintain scheduling flexibility and to respond to project needs on short notice. Their proximity to the project site, cost efficiency, proven quality of work, flexible availability, expertise, and long standing track record with the Service justify a single source award to the Arizona State Forestry Division.</Description>

        <Description>The Research and Development program supports projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing access to humanities collections and resources. These challenges include the need to find better ways to preserve materials of critical importance to the nation&amp;#8217;s cultural heritage&amp;#8212;from fragile artifacts and manuscripts to analog recordings and digital assets subject to technological obsolescence&amp;#8212;and to develop advanced modes of organizing, searching, discovering, and using such materials. This program recognizes that finding solutions to complex problems often requires forming interdisciplinary project teams, bringing together participants with expertise in the humanities; in preservation; and in information, computer, and natural science. All projects must demonstrate how advances in preservation and access would benefit the cultural heritage community in supporting humanities research, teaching, or public programming. </Description>

This includes sampling and classification, support of mapping team, mapping to the alliance-level, accuracy assessment of the completed mapping products, final report and wrap-up meeting. This work will be done over 4 Federal Fiscal years in cooperation with NIOB and MNRR staff, the Northern Great Plains Inventory and Monitoring Network, and the Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands (CEMML) staff at Colorado State University, and staff at the NPS Vegetation Inventory Program (NPS VIP). Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) is located within Colorado State University. CNHP have personnel with extensive experience working with the NPS Vegetation Inventory Program (VIP), ecologists, and seasonal field crews to complete vegetation inventory projects of several national park units. The CNHP has knowledge and expertise with the National Vegetation Classification Standard (NVCS), including Version 2, which is the vegetation classification standard used for vegetation mapping projects of the NPS VIP. The CNHP is experienced in the collection and protocols for field data collection, classification development, working with mapping teams to build a mapping-model, accuracy assessment data collection and analysis, the development of final products, and conducting project close-out meetings. The CNHP began its relationship with the VIP in the mid-1990s, engaging in the vegetation inventory (then called vegetation mapping) of Rocky Mountain National Park. Subsequent to completing this project, the CNHP team completed vegetation inventories for Sand Creek Massacre, Bent&amp;#65533;s Old Fort, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, and most recently Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. This agreement details a strategy for completing vegetation inventory projects in support of the NPS VIP). The first phase of this Agreement comprises steps 1 to 4 of the 12 -step framework developed by the NPS Vegetation Inventory Program. http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/veg/docs/Veg_Inv_12step_Guidance_v1.1.pdf Subsequent work will be funded through modifications via task agreements. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Work collaboratively with NPS staff, other federal, state and local agencies, affiliates, academia, and public (as appropriate) to complete data acquisition and analysis, reports and recommendations, project management and oversight, development of classification and mapping products that meet NPS VIP program standards and follows the NPS Final Product Specifications. 2. The work will be accomplished primarily by Colorado State University&amp;#65533;s Colorado Natural Heritage Program and the Centers for Environmental Management of Military Lands. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: Due to the level of sophistication, skill, and expertise required to design, develop and implement this NPS VIP the project is considered a research assistance. Appropriate methodologies will be developed in an interactive, iterative environment requiring ongoing communication and assistance between CSU, the NPS, and park managers. This Agreement with CSU supports this relationship and the need to have the flexibility to respond to the uncertainties inherent in developing and applying technologies to address both immediate and long-term research questions. By working under this task agreement CSU adheres to existing and new NPS policies and guidelines regarding data quality and protection of sensitive data in the technologies, tools and procedures that are developed, NPS involvement is necessary to appropriately communicate and review the implementation of these policies. NPS provides necessary NPS staff time to refine and review the products and report in sufficient detail to ensure its usefulness to the Parks. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#65533; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#65533; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#65533; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#65533; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed.

        <Description>The purpose of this modification is to publish questions and responses regarding the FOA. The questions and responses can be found in a revised Attachment 002. New questions and responses begin with Question #29. The Department of Energy is soliciting applications for the formation of a Consortium to pursue five identified R&amp;amp;D topics at the nexus of energy and water. These topics are: 1) water use reduction at thermoelectric plants; 2) treatment and management of non-traditional waters; 3) improving sustainable hydropower design and operation; 4) climate impact modeling, methods, and scenarios to support improved energy and water systems understanding; and 5) data and analysis to inform planning, policy, and other decisions. Each responsive proposal will address all five topics; DOE is offering a mechanism to facilitate partnering during the Application process. The Consortium that is funded through this solicitation will form a new technical track under the U.S.-China Clean Energy Research Center, which is a bilateral initiative to encourage R&amp;amp;D collaboration and accelerate technology development and deployment in both countries (see: http://www.us-china-cerc.org). This DOE funding opport unity will support the U.S. Consortium. In parallel, and with equivalent resources, Chinese funding will support a counterpart Chinese Consortium.</Description>

        <Description>There are currently over 2.2 million individuals serving time in federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycle through local jails every year. Of those in state and federal prison, approximately 95 percent will be released and return to communities across the nation. A majority of these individuals have needs that, if unaddressed in prison, during the reentry process, and after release, will negatively impact their ability to live productive, prosocial, crime-free lives in the community. When inmates are released from prison, they face a myriad of challenges, including finding housing and employment, combating substance abuse, and addressing physical and mental health problems. Without community-based support, they are less likely to return back to their communities with the means to address these challenges, and thus will be more likely to offend again. While members of Native American tribes who are incarcerated possess similar needs, addressing them successfully can be particularly challenging because members of tribal communities return from federal, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state, local, and tribal facilities. In addition to the difficulties associated with the coordination of services for individuals returning from these diverse facilities, services to address the various needs of the formerly incarcerated often do not exist on tribal lands. The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) helps to address these significant challenges by providing comprehensive responses to the significant number of incarcerated adults who are returning to communities from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities. Programs funded under the Second Chance Act help to promote public safety by ensuring that the transition individuals make from prison and jail to the community is successful. Section 101 of the Second Chance Act authorizes federal awards to state and local governments and federally recognized Indian tribes that may be used for demonstration projects to promote the safe and successful reintegration into the community of individuals who have been incarcerated or detained. Funding for this program is authorized under FY 2015 Department of Justice appropriation.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) into NRCS technical manuals and guides or to the private sector. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology in order to increase adoption with an emphasis on opportunities to scale proven, emerging conservation strategies. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. CIG does not fund research projects, with the exception of on-farm conservation research. On-farm conservation research is defined as an investigation conducted to answer a specified conservation-related question using a statistically valid design, while employing farm-scale equipment on farm fields. Specifically, a valid study design will use an appropriate number of replications and statistical analysis of results. To the extent NRCS funds research projects through CIG, the Agency will only fund research projects that stimulate innovative approaches to natural resource management in conjunction with agricultural production.</Description>

The HSI Program provides grants to assist HSIs to expand educational opportunities for, and improve the academic attainment of, Hispanic students. The HSI Program grants also enable HSIs to expand and enhance their academic offerings, program quality, and institutional stability. General Background In 2008, the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) was amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEA). The HEOA made a number of changes to the HSI program. The regulations for the HSI Program in 34 part 606 have not been updated since before the HEA was amended by the HEOA. Therefore, we encourage applicants to carefully read this notice, which references the statutory provisions when the corresponding regulatory provisions for this program have not been updated. For example, section 501 of the HEOA amended section 503(b) of the HEA to include, among the authorized activities under the HSI Program-- (1) Activities to improve student services, including innovative and customized instruction courses designed to help retain students and move the students into core courses; (2) Articulation agreements and student support programs designed to facilitate the transfer of students from 2-year to 4-year institutions; and (3) Providing education, counseling services, or financial information designed to improve the financial and economic literacy of students or their families. (4) The list of authorized activities in section 503(b) of the HEA was also amended to use the term ``distance education technologies&amp;apos;&amp;apos; in place of ``distance learning academic instruction capabilities.&amp;apos;&amp;apos; Therefore, notwithstanding the description of authorized activities in Sec. 606.10, applicants may include these activities in their proposals under this competition. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.031S. Applications for grants under the HSI Program, CFDA Number 84.031S, must be submitted electronically using the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site at www.Grants.gov. Through this site, you will be able to download a copy of the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit your application. You may not email an electronic copy of a grant application to us. You may access the electronic grant application for Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions at www.Grants.gov. You must search for the downloadable application package for this program by the CFDA number. Do not include the CFDA number&amp;apos;s alpha suffix in your search (e.g., search for 84.031, not 84.031S).</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is seeking applications for funding to conduct research on the instrument and sampling design and to create and pilot test an instrument and sampling method for the next iteration of the Survey of Inmates in Local Jails (SILJ). BJS anticipates making one award for a 24-month period between October 2015 and October 2017. A separate solicitation for the national implementation of the SILJ will be announced after this project is completed. BJS seeks a single instrument and data collection operation that can be used to gather data from a probability sample of male and female jail inmates. Depending on survey costs and inmate interview time, the instrument will collect data compatible with the same 10 domains covered in past versions of the jail inmate survey. BJS also may expand the number of domains to include current issues to be determined by, but not limited to, consulting with the awardee and jail experts; working with focus groups and expert panels; and assessing stakeholder feedback.</Description>

        <Description>The Anti-Human Trafficking National Training and Technical Assistance Program for Law Enforcement Task Forces, administered by BJA, is designed to provide national support and improve the capacity of state, local, and tribal criminal justice systems to increase their capacity to create and effectively operate enhanced collaborative model (ECM) human trafficking task forces, formed to investigate and prosecute the crime of human trafficking, as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000. BJA has provided anti-human trafficking training to law enforcement since 2005; state prosecutors and judges since 2011; and tribal entities since 2013. The statutory authority for this program is 22 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 7105(b)(2).This program is designed to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) resources that are critical to communities&amp;#8217; efforts to address all forms of human trafficking, through a victim- centered, enhanced collaborative approach. ECM task forces are required to be collaborative, working partnerships between local, state, and/or federal law enforcement agencies, victim service providers and other key stakeholders for the purpose of identifying victims of all forms of human trafficking, conducting proactive investigations, and effectively prosecuting the traffickers, while rescuing the victims and providing needed services.The goal of the Anti-Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance for Law Enforcement Task Forces Program is to provide assistance to state and local law enforcement, criminal justice professionals (e.g., academic, adjudication, judicial, etc.), and communities to improve the level of knowledge, communication, collaboration, and tactics involved in addressing human trafficking in communities throughout the nation. The program combines the leadership of DOJ and the expertise of nationally recognized criminal justice practitioners and action research experts to deliver a wide variety of TTA nationwide. Programs funded under this solicitation are intended to have a national impact.This grant announcement specifically requests applications for a nationwide TTA assistance provider; it does not solicit applications from individual jurisdictions to establish state and local anti-human trafficking task forces or training projects.</Description>

        <Description>PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 1. Authority This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Federal Financial Assistance Funding Opportunity is being announced under the following legislative authority: WATERSHED RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT AGREEMENTS (WYDEN AMENDMENT), Public Law 104-208, Section 124, as amended Public Law 105-277, Section 136, which states: &amp;quot;Appropriations made for the BLM may be used by the Secretary of Interior for the purpose of entering into cooperative agreements with the heads of other Federal agencies, Tribal, State, and local governments, private and nonprofit entities, and landowners for the protection, restoration, and enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat and other resources on public or private land and the reduction of risk from natural disaster where public safety is threatened that benefit these resources on public lands within the watershed, and enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat and other resources on public or private land and the reduction of risk from natural disaster where public safety is threatened that benefit these resources on public lands within the watershed.&amp;quot; 2. Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The Yuma Field Office includes many acres along the lower Colorado and Gila Rivers. Extensive damming and conversion to upland has re-characterized the lands along the river that once were natural system, but are now dominated by invasive species. An increase in wildland fires in these areas also greatly affect the reduction in native vegetation and increase in invasive species. Rehabilitation efforts to improve sites offer migratory birds and other wildlife species native habitat for foraging and potential nesting. The Walker Fire in December of 2014 burned 1,110 acres of native marsh and riparian habitat. This area is home to the largest population of the Federally endangered Yuma clapper rail. The native riparian habitat also provides migratory habitat for the southwestern willow flycatcher. The Walker ESR Plan outlines replacing what was lost in the fire in order to provide the much needed habitat to these and other wildlife species. b. Objectives: The principle purpose of this agreement is to improve wildlife habitat within YFO by offering properly functioning native riparian habitats along the lower Colorado and Gila Rivers. Wildlife habitat improvement projects increases partnerships, public involvement, and prime native riparian habitat within degraded and minimally functioning systems. The objective of this agreement is for the public to gain an appreciation for wildlife and their habitats within Arizona so that wildlife are available for future generations to enjoy. The Walker Fire Emergency Stabilization Plan directly relates to the Yuma Resource Management Plan and associated Biological Opinion for improving degraded habitats, replacing what was lost by wildland fires and extending habitat resources so that the public can enjoy those species in which it utilizes. </Description>

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters, anticipates a release of a solicitation, titled &amp;quot;NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC), Phase II,&amp;quot; as an Appendix to the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) NASA Research Announcement (NRA), titled &amp;quot;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion - 2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015),&amp;quot; on or about March 6, 2015. Once the Appendix is posted, complete details (to include due dates) can be accessed via the following steps: 1. Open the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ 2. Select &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; 3. Select &amp;quot;Open Solicitations&amp;quot; 4. Select &amp;quot;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion - 2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015) NNH15ZOA001N&amp;quot; 5. Select &amp;quot;List of Open Program Elements&amp;quot; 6. Select &amp;quot;NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC), Phase II-NNH15ZOA001N-15NIAC-A2&amp;quot; 7. Select &amp;quot;NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Phase II Solicitation Document&amp;quot; under Announcement Documents. The NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program supports innovative research through two phases of study. Phase I awards are nine-month efforts to explore the overall feasibility and viability of visionary concepts. Fellows who have completed a Phase I study are eligible for this Phase II call. Phase II awards are for up to two years, to further develop the most promising Phase I concepts, and to explore potential infusion options within NASA and beyond. All NIAC Phase I Fellows or their designees are eligible to submit Phase II proposals based on their Phase I study, provided that they have submitted a Phase I final report by the time they submit their Phase II proposal, and they have not been awarded a Phase II study on that concept. NIAC Fellows or their designees of the predecessor NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts are also eligible to submit Phase II proposals based on a prior Phase I study if they meet the following conditions: (1) They have submitted a Phase I study final report, AND either of the following: (2) There has been no award of a Phase II study based on the Phase I effort, or a Phase II study was awarded but not completed because funding was interrupted or not provided when the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts was terminated. The Principal Investigator and team members may be affiliated with any educational institution, commercial or not-for-profit organization, research laboratory, agency, or NASA Center (including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory). Teaming by non-U.S. organizations in proposed efforts is permitted but subject to NASA&amp;apos;s policy on foreign participation (see Section 3.3 of the REDDI NRA). Appendix NNH15ZOA001N-15NIAC-A2 seeks NIAC Phase II awards that will continue the exploration and development of revolutionary advanced concepts started through a NIAC Phase I award. Phase I study establishes basic feasibility and clear potential benefit. Phase II study extends, refines, and builds upon this. Phase II studies address key remaining unknowns, assumptions, risks, and paths forward. This should explicitly include cost, performance vs. alternatives, development steps and time, and key enabling technologies. These results aim to provide a sound basis for NASA to consider the concept for further development and a future mission, substantiated with a description of applicable scientific and technical disciplines necessary for development. All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES by an authorized organizational representative (AOR). Detailed submission instructions are provided in the SpaceTech-REDDI-2015 NRA, as well as the Guidebook for Proposers Responding to a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) or Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) (Edition May 2014). Potential proposers and their proposing organizations are urged to familiarize themselves with the submission system, ensure they are registered in NSPIRES, and submit the required proposal materials well in advance of the deadline. Interested proposers should monitor the NSPIRES website or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for release of the SpaceTech-REDDI-2015 Appendices. Technical, programmatic, and procurement comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to hq-niac@mail.nasa.gov . Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and may also be included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the Appendix; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved.

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for the Validation of Pediatric Patient Reported Outcomes in Chronic Diseases (PEPR) Consortium. The NIAMS, on behalf of the National Institutes of Health, intends to capitalize on recent advances in the science of Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) to measure the patient experience in clinical care and research in children with a variety of chronic diseases and conditions (e.g., asthma, juvenile arthritis, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, obesity and overweight, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, sickle cell disease, malnutrition, developmental disabilities including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy and mental illnesses) using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) tools and approaches coupled with detailed clinical phenotyping and/or biospecimen collection in well-characterized human cohorts. The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is a system of highly reliable, precise measures of patientreported health status for physical, mental, and social wellbeing. PROMIS tools measure what patients are able to do and how they feel by asking questions. PROMIS measures can be used as primary or secondary endpoints in clinical studies of the effectiveness of treatment.</Description>

        <Description>DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service, Commodity Credit Corporation ACTION: NOTICE Conservation Innovation Grants Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Announcement for Program Funding &amp;#8211; California Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 10.912 SUMMARY: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an agency under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is announcing availability of Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies. Proposals will be accepted from California. NRCS anticipates that the amount available for support of this program in FY 2015 will be up to $375,000. Proposals are requested from eligible governmental or non-governmental organizations or individuals for competitive consideration of grant awards for projects between 1 and 3 years in duration. Funds will be awarded through a two-phase nationwide competitive grants process that will include (1) a pre-proposal process and (2) a full proposal process. The full proposal process will only be open to applicants whose pre-proposals are selected by NRCS. Both phases are described in this announcement, but only pre-proposals are being solicited at this time. This notice identifies the objectives, eligibility criteria, and application instructions for CIG projects. Proposals will be screened for completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice. Incomplete and/or noncompliant proposals will be eliminated from competition, and notification of elimination will be sent to the applicant. NRCS will request a full proposal package only from those applicants selected in the pre-proposal phase. DATES: Pre-proposals must be received by NRCS before 4:30 p.m. on April 10, 2015. NRCS will announce selected pre-proposals by May 1, 2015. Selected applicants will then be required to submit a full proposal package to NRCS by 4:30 p.m. on June 5, 2015. ADDRESSES: Proposals sent via express mail or overnight courier service must be sent to the following address: USDA-NRCS, CIG Program, 430 G Street, # 4164, Davis, CA 95616. Proposals sent via the United States Postal Service must be sent to the following address: USDA-NRCS, CIG Program 430 G Street, # 4164, Davis, CA 95616. Proposals sent electronically must be sent through www.grants.gov or to Erik.Beardsley@ca.usda.gov. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: CIG Program Contact Erik Beardsley State CIG Program Manager 430 G Street, # 4164 Davis, CA 95616 Phone: (530) 792-5649 E-mail: Erik.Beardsley@ca.usda.gov SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION I. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION A. Legislative Authority The Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program is authorized as part of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) (16 U.S.C. 3839aa-8). The Secretary of Agriculture delegated the authority for the administration of EQIP, including CIG, to the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), who is Vice President of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). EQIP is funded and administered by NRCS under the authorities of the CCC. B. Overview The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) into NRCS technical manuals and guides or to the private sector. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology in order to increase adoption with an emphasis on opportunities to scale proven, emerging conservation strategies. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. CIG does not fund research projects, with the exception of on-farm conservation research. On-farm conservation research is defined as an investigation conducted to answer a specified conservation-related question using a statistically valid design, while employing farm-scale equipment on farm fields. Specifically, a valid study design will use an appropriate number of replications and statistical analysis of results. To the extent NRCS funds research projects through CIG, the Agency will only fund research projects that stimulate innovative approaches to natural resource management in conjunction with agricultural production. NRCS will accept proposals under this notice for single or multiyear projects, not to exceed three years, submitted by eligible entities from California. Eligible entities include Indian Tribes, State and local units of government, non-governmental organizations, and individuals. A two-phase evaluation process will be utilized for proposals submitted under this notice. The first phase requires the applicant to submit a pre-proposal. Pre-proposals will be screened for completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice. Incomplete and/or noncompliant pre-proposals will be eliminated from competition, and notification of elimination will be sent to the applicant. NRCS staff will evaluate complete pre-proposals based on how they demonstrate the use of innovative technologies and/or approaches to address at least one of the topics provided in section I.D. of this notice. NRCS will only request a full proposal package from those applicants selected in the preproposal process. Complete proposals received by applicable deadlines will be evaluated by a technical peer review panel based on the Proposal Evaluation Criteria identified in the instructions in section VI.B. Full proposals, along with their technically based recommendations from the peer review, will then be forwarded to the California Review Board. The California Review Board will make its recommendations for project approval to the NRCS State Conservationist who will make the final selections. C. Innovative Conservation Projects or Activities For the purposes of CIG, the proposed innovative project or activity must promote environmental protection or natural resources enhancement, and encompass development and pilot field testing, on-farm research and demonstration, evaluation, and/or implementation of: &amp;#8226; Conservation adoption incentive systems, including market-based systems, or &amp;#8226; Promising conservation technologies, practices, systems, procedures, or approaches. Projects or activities under CIG must comply with all Federal, State, and local regulations throughout the duration of the project and: &amp;#8226; Make use of proven technology or a technology that has been studied sufficiently to indicate a high probability for success, &amp;#8226; Demonstrate, evaluate, or verify environmental (soil, water, air, plants, energy and animal) effectiveness, utility, affordability, and usability of conservation technology in the field, &amp;#8226; Adapt conservation technologies, management, practices, systems, procedures, approaches, and incentive systems to improve performance, and encourage adoption, &amp;#8226; Introduce conservation systems, approaches, and procedures from another geographic area or agricultural sector, or &amp;#8226; Demonstrate transferability of knowledge.

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Cambodia is issuing this Request for Applications (RFA) for a four-year Cooperative Agreement titled &amp;#8220;Cambodia Democratic Reforms&amp;#8221; to &amp;#8220;improve political competition and government accountability&amp;#8221; in Cambodia. To this end, the program places particular emphasis on strengthening democratic systems and increasing the participation and leadership of women and youth in electoral and political processes. The total estimated cost of the program is $8.5 million. This award will advance USAID Cambodia&amp;#8217;s five-year Mission-wide goal to accelerate Cambodia&amp;#8217;s transformation to a democratic and prosperous country. The program is designed to build on USAID&amp;#8217;s long-standing development assistance program, which began in the post-United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) period from 1993-1994, and has included activities to promote fair electoral competition and political participation. Most recently USAID has implemented the six-year, $20,710,000 Accountability in Governance and Politics Program (A-GAP) that will conclude on September 30, 2015. The program falls within the Governing Justly and Democratically (GJD) Objective of the U.S. Government&amp;#8217;s (USG) Foreign Assistance Framework, and supports USAID&amp;#8217;s five-year Country Development Cooperation Strategy 2014-2018. </Description>

        <Description>The CDC announces the availability of funds for projects with national membership organizations to increase the capacity of the maternal and child health (MCH) professional workforce to analyze and use data, and to apply evidence-based approaches to MCH program and policy development at local, state, and national levels. Funding will support these organizations to work cooperatively with local, state, and national public health agencies in all 50 states. Effective use of these funds results in targeted investment of resources to develop strategies such as training, peer exchange, dissemination of guidelines and programmatic recommendations. These strategies result in an increase in the use of evidence-based MCH program, policy, and practice at local, state, and national levels by MCH professionals. Achievable results may include: a knowledgeable, capable, and well-trained workforce; improved collaboration and engagement with clinicians; and broader dissemination of research findings. Results are accomplished by partnering with national organizations that support local, state, and tribal public health agencies as well as clinical providers to implement multi-modal workforce development and capacity building strategies. The long-term outcome is a change in maternal behavior that impacts birth, infant, and childhood outcomes and ultimately improves the health of women, infants, and families. Each stand-alone application should target MCH professionals through one of the following categories: 1) Category A: Urban-focused national membership organizations, 2) Category B: State-focused national membership organizations, and 3) Category C: Clinical-focused national membership organizations.</Description>

        <Description>The OREI seeks to solve critical organic agriculture issues, priorities, or problems through the integration of research, education, and extension activities. The purpose of this program is to fund projects that will enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards to grow and market high quality organic agricultural products. Priority concerns include biological, physical, and social sciences, including economics. The OREI is particularly interested in projects that emphasize research, education and outreach that assist farmers and ranchers with whole farm planning by delivering practical research-based information. Projects should plan to deliver applied production information to producers. Fieldwork must be done on certified organic land or on land in transition to organic certification, as appropriate to project goals and objectives. Refer to the USDA National Organic Program (http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop) for organic production standards.</Description>

SAMHSA believes that the most effective way to accomplish the goals of this two-year supplemental program is to limit eligibility to the identified existing SAMHSA ATTC grantees because they have the infrastructure, partnerships, and necessary knowledge and skills already in place to rapidly implement the Center of Excellence without a lengthy start-up period or lengthy breaks in service.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) announces the availability of two-year supplemental funding to enable one grantee from the fiscal year (FY) 2012 Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) cohort to expand/enhance grant activities required under the 2012 Request for Applications (RFA) by developing a Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW) Center of Excellence (CoE). This CoE will develop and strengthen the behavioral healthcare workforce that provides addiction treatment and recovery support services to PPW, their children, and their families. Information on the ATTC program may be found in the original funding announcement, TI-12-008, available on the SAMHSA website at http://media.samhsa.gov/Grants/archives.aspx. The purpose of the ATTC program is to develop and strengthen the workforce that provides addictions treatment and recovery support services to those in need. In partnership with Single State Authorities (SSAs), treatment provider associations, addictions counselors, multidisciplinary behavioral health professionals, faith and recovery community leaders, family members of those in recovery, and other stakeholders, the ATTCs assess the training and development needs of the substance use disorder workforce, and develop and conduct training and technology transfer activities to meet identified needs. Particular emphasis is on increasing knowledge and improving skills in using evidence-based and promising treatment/recovery practices in recovery-oriented systems of care. SAMHSA currently funds 10 regional ATTCs that provide crucial support for addressing behavioral health issues at the regional and local levels. In addition, four ATTCs receive funding to address a national focus area and one ATTC serves as the national coordinating office. These 15 ATTCs provide comprehensive support with respect to developing and enhancing the workforce. In order to develop and disseminate a PPW curriculum, a current ATTC grantee will develop a Center of Excellence (CoE) to develop and strengthen the behavioral healthcare workforce that provides addiction treatment and recovery support services to PPW, their children, and their families. The CoE will develop a training curriculum/toolkit for implementing the current PPW family-centered approach. Within the first year, the primary function of the ATTC-CoE is to develop a PPW family-centered curriculum by gathering, organizing, and evaluating current resources and research. The focus in year 2 will be on providing training (both face-to- face and on-line) and on disseminating the PPW curriculum/toolkit to agencies, other technical assistance providers, educational institutions, and individual practitioners implementing and adopting it. </Description>

        <Description>Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is a National Park surrounded by an urban/industrial complex. In the mid twentieth century, actions to remove wetlands from the dunes adjacent to southern Lake Michigan which included lands of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore were initiated. These actions resulted in thousands of acres of wetland being removed from northwest Indiana. Wetland provides numerous ecosystem services including habitat for rare plants, waterfowl and other life forms. Therefore, it is desired to restore historic wetland to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.</Description>

        <Description>CDC-RFA-EH-15-1503 &amp;#8220;Promoting Access to Guidelines-Based Care for People with Asthma&amp;#8221;. The award&amp;apos;s purpose is to promote access to guidelines-based asthma care using health education and communication strategies that will result in measurable impacts. These efforts will be supported by core public health activities such as partnership engagement, workforce development, guidance and support for programmatic efforts, strategic communication, and evaluation. These infrastructure activities will support communication and education interventions tailored to multiple audiences, such as people with asthma and their caregivers, school personnel, and health care providers. Awardees will provide clear, consistent, and straightforward guidance on the delivery of asthma education for people with asthma, health professionals, and to the interactions between these two groups. As a result of these interventions, audiences will have the knowledge and skills to demand appropriate care (people with asthma) or deliver it (health care providers), and schools and communities will have the capacity to promote policies, systems, and environments that support people with asthma. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Current Boost States: States funded under the Boost FOA (CDC-RFA-CE14-1404) are eligible to apply for this program. If a state currently receiving support under Prevention Boost receives funding under this FOA, it will no longer receive funding under Boost and will instead receive funding exclusively under this program. Prevention Boost states that do not apply or are not awarded funds under this program will continue their work under Boost. Because this funding requires activity to enhance state PDMPs, states where a PDMP is not authorized are not eligible to apply for this funding. Applicants must provide a Letter of Support (LOS) from:  A state-level law enforcement authority in their state. The LOS must show that the law enforcement authority supports the application and agrees to regular meetings to support and coordinate activities. The state substance abuse services authority in their state. The LOS must show that the substance abuse authority supports the application and agrees to regular meetings to support and coordinate activities. The PDMP authority in their state showing the PDMP authority supports the application, agrees to quarterly meetings to support and coordinate activities, and how the PDMP authority will facilitate proposed activities for enhancing and maximizing the state&amp;amp;rsquo;s PDMP.  Applicants implementing insurer/health system interventions under Priority Strategy #2 must provide a LOS from the state authority managing the entity where the work is focused.  For example, if a proposal is for creating an opioid management program for the state Medicaid program, show an LOS from the Medicaid authority. If improving an element of the Workers&amp;amp;rsquo; Compensation program, provide a LOS from the Workers&amp;amp;rsquo; Compensation authority. If the applicant is integrating and/or disseminating evidence-based opioid prescribing guidelines in partnership with a particular health system or insurance program, the applicant should include a LOS from that system or program. The LOS must demonstrate the authority&amp;amp;rsquo;s support, agreement to quarterly meetings, and explanation of how the state authority will facilitate the proposed activities. If the priority strategy of policy evaluation is chosen, applicants must provide a LOS from agencies that maintain access to relevant data the state will be using for evaluation. The LOS must indicate the agency&amp;amp;rsquo;s support and agreement to share data for evaluation purposes. </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding is to provide state health departments the guidance and resources they need to address the problematic opioid prescribing driving the prescription drug overdose epidemic. States receiving funding must address prescribing on multiple fronts. Awardees must expand and enhance their state PDMP and implement health insurer or health system interventions. States may also choose to also conduct policy evaluations or implement other prescribing innovations. These activities will impact the patient and provider behaviors driving the epidemic in the medium term and ultimately improve the health outcomes associated with this public health problem.</Description>

        <Description>The Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) grant program provides support for States and tribes to develop and implement programs to improve the educational, health, and social outcomes for expectant and parenting teens, women, fathers and their families. The PAF aims to strengthen access to and completion of education (secondary and postsecondary); improve child and maternal health outcomes; improve pregnancy planning and spacing and reduce the likelihood of repeat teen pregnancies; increase parenting skills for mothers, fathers, and families; strengthen co-parenting relationships and marriage where appropriate, increase positive paternal involvement; decrease intimate partner violence; and raise awareness of available resources. For purposes of this funding announcement, the term &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#156;expectant&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#157; includes both women and men who are expecting a child. The term teens refer to both young men and women of high-school age and students refers to women and men enrolled in institutions of higher education. The term young adults refer to both men and women age 20 -24. Families include, but are not limited to spouses, partners, and children. OAH encourages applications that serve both pregnant teens and women and expectant and parenting fathers. OAH has two program priorities for this FOA: 1) proposals that seek to involve expectant and parenting fathers and 2) proposals that target young adults (ages 20 &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; 24). This FOA supports the HHS Strategic Goals to 1) Strengthen Health Care; 2) Advance the Health, Safety, and Well-Being of the American People; 3) Secure and Expand Health Insurance Coverage; 4) Eliminate Health Disparities; 5) Promote Early Childhood Health and Development; 6) Put Children and Youth on the Path for Successful Futures; and 7) Promote Prevention and Wellness across the Lifespan.</Description>

        <Description>The National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI), administered by BJA, provides funding through a competitive grant program to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions&amp;#8217; approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits (SAKs). Unsubmitted kits (those in in police custody that have never been submitted to a crime laboratory for testing) and untested kits (those that have been submitted to crime labs but are delayed for testing for longer than 30 days, e.g., as a result of a backlog of work in the laboratory) are separate and distinct issues. The focus of this effort is on those unsubmitted kits that have never been submitted to a crime laboratory. The goal of the SAKI is the creation of a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to these cases whenever possible through a victim-centered approach, as well as to build jurisdictions&amp;#8217; capacity to prevent the development of conditions that lead to high numbers of unsubmitted SAKs in the future. This holistic program provides jurisdictions with resources to address their unsubmitted SAK issue, including support to inventory, test, and track SAKs; create and report performance metrics; access necessary training to increase effectiveness in addressing the complex issues associated with these cases and engage in multidisciplinary policy development, implementation, and coordination; and improve practices related to investigation, prosecution, and victim engagement and support in connection with evidence and cases resulting from the testing process. Research supported by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) on unsubmitted SAKs at pilot sites in Detroit, Michigan and Houston, Texas supports the value of testing unsubmitted SAKs in solving sexual assault cases1. It has also highlighted the complexity of the issue. Unsubmitted SAKs in the custody of law enforcement agencies can be attributed to a wide range of factors, including poor evidence tracking, outdated and ineffective investigation practices, misunderstanding of crime lab case acceptance policies, and lack of understanding among law enforcement about the value of testing kits in various types of cases2.3 This recent research identified the need for more trained investigative and prosecutorial resources to deal with the increased number of investigations and prosecutions resulting from testing a high number of previously unsubmitted SAKs, as well as the importance of linking victims to needed services. Thus, the critical needs around this issue extend well beyond testing kits and increasing crime lab capacity; this program also addresses the investigative and prosecutorial aspects of sexual assault cases resulting from the testing and enhancing provision of victim services.</Description>

        <Description>The Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI), administered by BJA, provides funding through a competitive grant program to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions&amp;#8217; approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits (SAKs). Unsubmitted kits (those in in police custody or other evidence storage locations that have never been submitted to a crime laboratory for testing) and untested kits (those that have been submitted to crime labs but are delayed for testing (e.g., as a result of a backlog of work in the laboratory) are separate and distinct issues. The focus of this effort is on those unsubmitted kits that have never been submitted to a crime laboratory. The goal of SAKI is the creation of a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to these cases whenever possible through a comprehensive and victim-centered approach, as well as to build jurisdictions&amp;#8217; capacity to prevent high numbers of unsubmitted SAKs in the future. This program provides jurisdictions with resources to address their unsubmitted SAK issue, including support to inventory, test, and track SAKs; create and report performance metrics; access necessary training to increase effectiveness in addressing the complex issues associated with these cases and engage in multidisciplinary policy development, implementation and coordination; and improve practices related to investigation, prosecution, and victim engagement, advocacy, and support in connection with evidence and cases resulting from the testing process. Research supported by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) on unsubmitted SAKs at pilot sites in Detroit, Michigan and Houston, Texas has confirmed the value of testing unsubmitted sexual assault kits in solving sexual assault cases. It has also highlighted the complexity of the issue. Unsubmitted SAKs in the custody of law enforcement agencies can be attributed to a wide range of factors, including poor evidence tracking, outdated and ineffective investigation practices, misunderstanding of crime lab case acceptance policies, and lack of understanding among law enforcement about the value of testing kits in various types of cases. This recent research identified the need for more trained investigative and prosecutorial resources to deal with the increased number of investigations and prosecutions resulting from testing a high number of previously unsubmitted SAKs, as well as the importance of linking victims to needed services. Thus, the critical needs around this issue extend well beyond testing kits and increasing crime lab capacity; this program also addresses the investigative and prosecutorial aspects of sexual assault cases resulting from the testing and enhancing provision of victim services. There is currently no reliable estimate for the number of unsubmitted kits in the custody of law enforcement agencies nationwide. As noted in a 2011 NIJ Special Report, the problem in assessing the scope is complicated by the fact that some police departments may have deficient evidence tracking, storage, and retention policies, protocols, and facilities. Furthermore, unsubmitted SAKs may be located in places other than police evidence rooms, including hospitals, clinics, rape crisis centers, and unofficial evidence retention locations. In addition, many law enforcement agencies lack electronic systems to track evidence and encounter data sharing obstacles to exchanging information about DNA &amp;#8220;hits&amp;#8221; among police, prosecutors, and crime labs in a seamless and real-time basis. It is important to not only support grant sites directly to meet these challenges while reducing the number of unsubmitted SAKs, but also to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to jurisdictions grappling with this issue to achieve the long term goals of improving our national response to sexual assault. This competitive grant announcement specifically requests applications for one national TTA provider to support and build capacity in the field and among those jurisdictions selected to receive SAKI funding and other jurisdictions facing similar conditions. This grant announcement does not solicit applications from individual jurisdictions to fund local SAKI projects.</Description>

IDENTIFYING INFORMATION TITLE: Engaging the Next Generation Community Coordinator Position SPONSORING PROGRAM OFFICE: U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of the Secretary, Assistant Secretary- Policy, Management and Budget AWARDING OFFICE: Acquisition Services Directorate (AQD); Division IV; Denver, CO TYPE OF AWARD: Cooperative Agreement PROPOSED RECIPIENT: National Council of Young Men&amp;#8217;s Christian Associations of the United States of America (Y-USA) PROJECT DURATION: Three (3) Years PROPOSED COST: $1,500,000 APPROPRIATIONS AUTHORITY: &amp;quot;Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014&amp;quot; (P.L. 113-76) INTERNAL AUTHORITY: Department of the Interior; Departmental Manual; Federal Assistance Programs Series; Part 505, Chapter 2; Effective January 9th, 2008 CFDA NUMBER: 15.154; 21st Century Conservation Service Corps II. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION a. Project Background: Interior Secretary Sally Jewell first outlined DOI&amp;#8217;s youth initiative in a speech at the National Press Club where she emphasized the need to bridge the growing disconnect between young people and the great outdoors. The goals of DOI&amp;#8217;s youth initiative for the next three years include: Play: Interior will develop or enhance outdoor recreation partnerships in a total of 50 cities over the next four years to create new, systemic opportunities for outdoor play for more than 10 million young people. Learn: Provide educational opportunities to at least 10 million of the nation&amp;#8217;s K-12 student population annually. In addition to welcoming students into nature&amp;#8217;s classroom, we are developing and strengthening new online education resources, to reach more students. Serve: Engage 1 million volunteers annually on public lands, effectively tripling the numbers we have now. We know that many more people are interested in volunteering at national parks, wildlife refuges and public lands, but there are often insufficient staff resources to coordinate them. In order to achieve the volunteer goal, we will place a renewed emphasis on volunteer coordination and management. Work: To develop the next generation of lifelong conservation stewards and ensure our own skilled and diverse workforce pipeline, Interior will provide 100,000 work &amp;amp; training opportunities to young people within our bureaus and through public-private partnerships. As part of this effort, we aim to raise an additional $20 million to support the youth work and training opportunities. The 21CSC, launched by the Obama Administration as part of the America&amp;#8217;s Great Outdoors program, is a national collaborative effort to put America&amp;#8217;s youth and veterans to work protecting, restoring and enhancing America&amp;#8217;s natural and cultural resources. Already an initial group of 100 organizations have been endorsed as model organizations that embrace the guiding principles of 21CSC. b. Project Description and objectives: DOI recognizes the need to strengthen our involvement in connecting young people to nature and preparing the next generation of outdoor leaders. It is the intent of this Agreement to provide the Y-USA with funding assistance to recruit, hire, train and manage 50 Student and Conservation Corps leaders in support of DOI&amp;#8217;s Youth Initiative to inspire millions of young people to play, learn, serve and work outdoors. The 50 leaders will support non-profit organizations, community associations, municipalities, and other agencies that work with local government, Federal agencies and others to engage young people and their families in outdoor recreation, environmental education and conservation programs. Each of the 50 Student and Conservation Corps leaders will be assigned to a Y senior staff person who has lead responsibilities for community coordination. The lead community coordinator in each city will be funded by a private donation. Interior will fund the 50 Student and Conservation Corps leaders that support the lead coordinators. The primary objective of the Community Coordinator effort is to advance the play, learn, serve and work goals of the Department of Interior&amp;#8217;s youth initiative thereby increasing connections to nature and engagement on public lands. Community coordinators will connect youth, families, veterans and entire communities &amp;#8211; with particular attention to young men of color &amp;#8211; to public lands through outdoor recreation, educational programming, service projects and employment training opportunities. Community coordinators will develop partnerships with municipalities, non-profit organizations, schools, health care providers and other stakeholders to help young people develop strong, lasting connections to nature and public lands. Community coordinators will develop leadership opportunities for the next generation of environmental stewards by increasing service opportunities engaging entire communities in partnership with public, private and nonprofit representatives. Scope of work should include the following efforts: &amp;#8226; The Student and Conservation Corps Leader will reach out to community groups to promote programming, participation and collaboration. &amp;#8226; The Student and Conservation Corps Leader will facilitate engagement with public land management agencies (including but not limited to DOI) and partnering organizations. &amp;#8226; The Student and Conservation Corps Leader will develop and promote programming that connects youth and families to the outdoors to play, learn, serve and work. &amp;#8226; The Student and Conservation Corps Leader will create relevant and sustainable programs that strengthen and increase volunteer engagement on public lands, including but not limited to lands managed by the bureaus of the Department of the Interior. &amp;#8226; The Student and Conservation Corps Leader will seek partners to employ young adults and Post-9/11 veterans in seasonal, temporary and permanent jobs on public lands and with partner organizations. Through a partnership with the Corps Network, the 50 Student and Conservation Corps leaders will also be Americorps members. In exchange for a year of full-time service, AmeriCorps members earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award (equal to the maximum Pell Grant) that helps pay for college or pay back student loans. The Corps Networks members operate in all states and the District of Columbia. The Corps Network will assist Y-USA in recruiting the 50 Student and Conservation Corps leaders (via its contract with AmeriCorps) and help in placing them in the Y. c. Project Funding and Appropriations: The total estimated 3-year budget is $1,500,000 of which $1,125,000 will be obligated for Year 1 and Year 2 costs from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014&amp;quot; (P.L. 113-76). This Cooperative Agreement is being entered into by the Office of the Secretary of the Interior, pursuant to the authority vested in the Office of the Secretary under 16 U.S.C. 1723 (c) Public Land Corp as well as the Take Pride in America Act, 16 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 4601 et seq., which authorizes the Secretary to carry out a number of activities in support of the Nation&amp;#8217;s land and resources, including partnering with public and private organizations to promote participation in volunteer efforts through a public awareness campaign. The estimated budget is deemed reasonable and appropriate for completion of the above objectives. d. Cost Sharing: There is a mandatory 25% cost sharing requirement for this effort, which the Y-USA has satisfied by including the value of supervision, support, office space and volunteer time with their budget proposal. The Y-USA has proposed no overhead or indirect costs, and will be furnishing the value of the two Co-Principal Investigators time to the project at no cost to DOI. 2 CFR &amp;#167;200.306 (e) states that Volunteer services furnished by third-party professional and technical personnel, consultants, and other skilled and unskilled labor may be counted as cost sharing or matching if the service is an integral part of an approved project or program. Rates for third-party volunteer services must be consistent with those paid for similar work by the non-Federal entity. III. PROGRAM PARTICIPATION: a. Evaluation and relevance: In December 2014, DOI solicited a proposal from the Y- USA to manage a Youth Initiative Community Coordinator position in select communities for the Office of the Secretary. An evaluation and budget analysis of the proposal was performed and a recommendation was made to accept the Y-USA&amp;#8217;s proposal. This recommendation considered both the capacity for the Y-USA to successfully manage the initiative and the overall cost to DOI. The Y-USA of the USA is a national non-profit organization focused on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Today, the Y serves more than 10,000 neighborhoods across the U.S. engaging 9 million youth and 13 million adults each year. As one of our nation&amp;#8217;s leading nonprofit organizations committed to helping people and communities to learn, grow and thrive, their impact is both far-reaching and intimate&amp;#8212;from offering child care programs and swimming lessons to providing camping experiences and environmental education programs. By nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the nation&amp;#8217;s health and well- being, and supporting and serving families and communities, the Y ensures that everyone has the opportunity to become healthier, more confident, connected and secure. They are guided by four core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. b. Public Purpose: The Y-USA and DOI have a history of partnership and collaboration. Y-USA has worked with DOI to educate over 800,000 families on practical ways to incorporate ways to plan and learn outdoors. In the April of 2014, the Department of the Interior signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Y-USA and the National League of Cities to assist in advance the Department&amp;#8217;s goal of seeding and supporting efforts that bring the four pillars (Play, Learn, Serve and Work) alive for millions of children, young adults and veterans in communities across the country. Through this agreement, the YMCA will expose diverse groups of young people from various ethnic and socio economic backgrounds to outdoor programming and connect local Ys to play-learn-serve-work opportunities with Interior and its various bureaus. c. Substantial Involvement: There will be substantial involvement of the Department and its bureaus in this project and in the activities that the Y will conduct. The Department will be: &amp;#8226; Providing program assistance in supporting the ongoing work of the urban teams throughout the year, including the possible designation of local contact personnel. &amp;#8226; Providing program consultation assistance through the DOI Office of the Secretary (&amp;#8220;OS&amp;#8221;) in Washington D.C. to outline and guide the work of the Community Coordinator, assist in creating and maintaining partnerships with other national/regional organizations, and to provide strategic development advice. &amp;#8226; Promoting this new national collaboration with Y-USA throughout its bureaus. &amp;#8226; Providing opportunities to enrich Y-USA program offerings on DOI managed lands. &amp;#8226; Collaborating with Y-USA in support of cultivating philanthropic opportunities with foundations and other organizations whose missions are to engage youth in the outdoors. &amp;#8226; Expanding access to local educational, interpretive, facility management and employment pathways resources, as available, to enhance Y-USA educational and youth career development programs. &amp;#8226; Encouraging DOI bureaus to develop relationships with local Y-USAs, and provide opportunities to engage directly with them or connect at a distance using technology. &amp;#8226; Providing opportunities for Y-USAs to participate in DOI volunteer and educational programs. &amp;#8226; Encouraging DOI bureaus to work with Y-USAs in providing opportunities for internships and youth employment. &amp;#8226; Sharing in the publicity and marketing of this Collaboration and special initiative that mutually benefit all Parties. &amp;#8226; Working in conjunction with the Y-USA to seek out joint funding opportunities. IV. EXPLANATION AND JUSTIFICATION FOR A SINGLE SOURCE AWARD: a. Identification: The Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act (31 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 6304 and 6305) prescribes the use of a grant or a cooperative agreement as the legal instrument for a Federal agency to use when entering into a relationship whose principal purpose is to provide United States Government assistance. A Cooperative Agreement is required to be used when the purpose of the relationship between the executive agency and the other recipient is to transfer something of value to the recipient to carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized by U.S. law and substantial involvement is contemplated between the executive agency and the other recipient (31 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 6305). A Statement of Substantial Involvement describe above will be included as part of the formal agreement. b. Justification: This cooperative agreement will be entered into with the Y-USA on a noncompetitive basis under the authority of, and in accordance with the criteria set forth in Chapter 2.14 (B) (4) of the Department of the Interior Departmental Manual; Federal Assistance Programs Series; Part 505, Chapter 2. This Departmental Manual sets forth the criteria in which an assistance award can be made without competition. In this instance, the conditions under (4) Unique Qualifications, are satisfied. This section describes &amp;#8220;unique qualifications&amp;#8221; based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost sharing ability, if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications. The Y-USA has the experience, staff, systems and support currently in place to effectively support nationwide Community Coordinator placements in partnership with DOI and share the cost of operating these programs. Additionally, the Y-USA entered into an MOU with the Department of the Interior in support of the Youth Initiative and has significant experience managing federal funds and reporting requirements along with having detailed knowledge of grant requirements and provisions specifically issued by The Corporation for Community and National Service. Determination and Approvals: The undersigned has determined, based on the above findings, that: (1) this cooperative agreement, entered into with the Y-USA for the management of the Youth Initiative Community Coordinators, will promote a public purpose; (2) the work contemplated by this agreement will require substantial involvement between the DOI and Y-USA; and the application submitted by the Y-USA meets the criteria set forth in the DOI Departmental Manual; Federal Assistance Programs Series; Part 505, Chapter 2.14, for award of a Single Source Award. Therefore, in accordance with 31 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 6305 and Departmental Manual, Part 505, Chapter 2, the award of this cooperative agreement to the Y-USA is justified. </Description>

        <Description>The FY15 JPC-1/MSIS JRoute Initiative aims to support research toward the analysis of alternatives for materiel development of a Joint En Route Care Training System of Systems. The JRoute Initiative seeks to support research projects that will develop plans, designs, frameworks, or architecture that ultimately contribute toward the development of a Continuum of Care Joint En Route Care training System of Systems that allows for training across the expanded continuum and that emphasizes training and educating the healthcare provider (both the individual and the team) on how to more effectively manage patient hand-offs and transfers and improve patient outcomes. It is anticipated that such a Joint En Route Care training system will benefit both the Military and public at large by reducing medical errors and adverse events before, during, and after hand-offs and patient transfer, leading to the overall improvement of patient safety and healthcare outcomes. It is also anticipated that future technologies will be better integrated into a more fully comprehensive, interoperable System of Systems Continuum of Care Joint En Route Care trainer.Applications should provide a solid research-based design, plan, and/or framework that can support future development of a Joint En Route Care Training System of Systems. The design, plan, or framework is encouraged to incorporate open-source architecture, if and where possible. While the proposed plans/designs may include proprietary tools, appropriate justification for incorporating proprietary tools must be included. Proposed intellectual property components should be clearly and legibly marked in the application.The proposed plan, design, framework, or architecture should also address potential future public uses. Dissemination and propagation of a future En Route Care Training System with public benefits is encouraged.</Description>

        <Description> CDC&amp;#8217;s Healthy Community Design Initiative is part of the National Center for Environmental Health&amp;apos;s Division of Emergency and Environmental Health Services. The Initiative works to improve public health by: &amp;#8226; Linking public health surveillance with community design decisions; &amp;#8226; Improving community design decisions through tools such as Health Impact Assessment; &amp;#8226; Educating decision makers on the health impact of community design; &amp;#8226; Building partnerships with community design decision makers and their influencers. In order to increase the capacity of professional planners and planning departments to address today&amp;#8217;s public health issues this cooperative agreement will develop strategies and initiatives designed to provide evidence based guidance that planning professionals can use to create health promoting communities. It is expected that tools, techniques, and information needed for health considerations to be an explicit component in comprehensive plans, development regulations, planning process, capital budgets, transportation, and land use planning will be identified and created. Communications plans for agreed upon initiatives are recommended.</Description>

        <Description>The Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) currently comprises federal, state, and local government regulatory laboratories with varying capacities to perform threat agent testing. The FERN division in USDA&amp;#8217;s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is seeking to award up to 20 cooperative agreements targeting state, local, and tribal FERN labs to continue its program of providing capacity and capability for biothreat and biosafety food testing. The agreements will enhance the ability to analyze for microbiological, radiological and chemical threat agents utilizing FERN and other methods to improve laboratory capacities for food defense assignments and outbreak response. The agreements will support FERN threat agent method training, supplies required by the selected methods, and the possible purchase of equipment and reimbursement of personnel expenses. All cooperative agreements are on a 1 year funding cycle. However, we expect to renew the awards of successful laboratories, without competition, for a total of 5 years of funding contingent on continued Agency funding of the program. These cooperative agreements are highly competitive and the selections of laboratories for the program, as well as actual funding for each lab selected, will be based on an evaluation of that lab&amp;#8217;s specific proposal, past performance in the program (if applicable), and other relevant criteria (geographical considerations, testing capability, testing capacity, laboratory accreditation etc.). Furthermore, the program will differ from previous years by increasing funding at laboratories that meet the highest qualifications ( Level 1/primary) while providing lessor funding to several other laboratories (Level 2/surge) to support continued testing and maintenance of capacity and capability. Applications submitted for this program should be specifically written to the level of funding appropriate for the applicant&amp;#8217;s laboratory based on the qualifications below. </Description>

        <Description>EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe U.S. Embassy in San Jose, Costa Rica announces a Notification of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to create social and economic opportunity to strengthen citizen security, and promote government transparency to encourage a culture that resists corruption. U.S. Embassy San Jose intends to issue four awards in an amount not to exceed $900,000 in total funding. The anticipated start date for this activity is September 30, 2015, and project periods should not exceed two years. This funding will support United States Government (USG) objectives under the Central America Regional Security Initiative (CARSI). Within Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama), the United States works with partner nations to strengthen institutions to counter the effects of organized crime, uphold the rule of law, and protect human rights. Institution building is coupled with prevention projects that dissuade at-risk youth from turning to crime and gangs and community policing projects that engage local communities on citizen security issues. U.S. Embassy San Jose invites qualified U.S. non-profit/non-governmental organizations (NGOs) having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS or overseas-based NGOs, U.S. and overseas-based public and private institutions of higher education, and public international organizations to submit proposals that include an implementation strategy to address one of the following two objectives:1. Provide job creation opportunities for youth and women in economically-disadvantaged communities. Proposals should help create safe streets by providing economic opportunities in these communities as attractive alternatives for at-risk populations that may turn to crime and illicit drugs for their livelihood.2. Promote and improve government transparency to increase citizens&amp;#8217; access to and awareness of all levels and formats of government services with an emphasis on e-government. Proposals should promote strong, capable and accountable government in Costa Rica through projects that streamline bureaucracy by enabling, for instance, entrepreneurs and businesses to more efficiently navigate the required processes to start a business in Costa Rica. U.S. Embassy San Jose reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted and will determine the resulting level of funding for the award. The authority for this NOFO is found in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. Eligible organizations interested in submitting an application are encouraged to read this NOFO thoroughly to understand the type of project sought and the application submission requirements and evaluation process.For further information, please contact:U.S. Embassy San Jose E-mail SanJoseCarsiESF@state.govTelephone 2219-2483</Description>

        <Description>As defined in the DD Act of 2000, the term &amp;quot;developmental disabilities&amp;quot; means a severe, chronic disability of an individual that is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or combination of mental and physical impairments that are manifested before the individual attains age 22 and are likely to continue indefinitely. Developmental disabilities result in substantial limitations in three or more of the following functional areas: self-care, receptive and expressive language, learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent living and economic self-sufficiency. The DD Act of 2000 identifies a number of significant findings, including: Disability is a natural part of the human experience that does not diminish the right of individuals with developmental disabilities to enjoy the opportunity for independence, productivity, integration and inclusion into the community. Individuals whose disabilities occur during their developmental period frequently have severe disabilities that are likely to continue indefinitely. Individuals with developmental disabilities often require lifelong specialized services and assistance, provided in a coordinated and culturally competent manner by many agencies, professionals, advocates, community representatives and others to eliminate barriers and to meet the needs of such individuals and their families. The DD Act of 2000 also promotes the best practices and policies presented below: Individuals with developmental disabilities, including those with the most severe developmental disabilities, are capable of achieving independence, productivity, integration and inclusion into the community, and often require the provision of services, supports and other assistance to achieve such. Individuals with developmental disabilities have competencies, capabilities and personal goals that should be recognized, supported and encouraged, and any assistance to such individuals should be provided in an individualized manner, consistent with the unique strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities and capabilities of the individual. Individuals with developmental disabilities and their families are the primary decision makers regarding the services and support such individuals and their families receive, and play decision making roles in policies and programs that affect the lives of such individuals and their families. Toward these ends, AIDD seeks to support and accomplish the following: Support the increasing ability of individuals with developmental disabilities to exercise greater choice and self-determination and to engage in leadership activities in their communities; Enhance the capabilities of families in assisting individuals with developmental disabilities to achieve their maximum potential; Promote systemic change activities that ensure the active and meaningful engagement and participation of individuals with developmental disabilities in community-based programs and services; Promote the active involvement of individuals with developmental disabilities and families in all aspects of grantee programs, activities and services; Ensure the protection of the legal and human rights of individuals with developmental disabilities; Ensure that individuals with developmental disabilities from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and their families enjoy increased and meaningful opportunities to access and use community services, individualized supports and other forms of assistance available to other individuals with developmental disabilities and their families; and Promote recruitment efforts that increase the number of individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds who work with individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in disciplines related to pre-service training, community training, practice, administration and policymaking. </Description>

        <Description>Background: The Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration of 1950 (Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act), 64 Stat. 430 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 777-777m, was passed on August 9, 1950. It was modeled after the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to create a parallel program for management conservation, and restoration of fishery resources. The Sport Fish Restoration program is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, flies and artificial baits, who pay an excise tax on these items to the U.S. Treasury. An amendment in 1984 (Wallop-Breaux Amendment) added new provisions to the Act by extending the excise tax to previously untaxed items of sport fishing equipment. The Sport Fish Restoration Program provides funding to restore, conserve, manage, or enhance sport fish populations and the public use and benefits from these resources; and to provide boating access to public waters. Additional information about the Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program is on the web at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SFR/SFR.htm. I. Funding Opportunity Description: The Sport Fish Restoration program provides Federal grant funding to the 50 States, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) for land acquisition, boating access development, research projects, operations and maintenance of public fishing areas, hatchery and lake construction and maintenance, sport fish population management, fishing habitat improvements, coordination projects, and aquatic resource education. These activities restore or manage sport fish populations and provide public access to these resources. Ineligible activities include law enforcement of fish and game regulations and public relation activities to promote the fish and wildlife agency. II. Award Information: The final SFR apportionments are on the web at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SFR/SFR_Funding.htm. III. Eligibility Information: A. Eligible Applicants: Participation is limited to State, Commonwealth, or territorial agencies with lead management responsibility for fish and wildlife resources. States, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) must pass laws (assent legislation) for the conservation of fish and wildlife. The law must include a prohibition against the diversion of license fees paid by anglers for purposes other than the administration of the fish and wildlife agency. The public benefits from these fisheries conservation measures. B. Formula and Matching Requirements: 1. Sport Fish Restoration Act funding is based 60 percent on its number of licensed anglers and 40 percent on its land and water area. No State, Commonwealth, the District of Columbia, or territory may receive more than 5 percent or less than 1/3 of 1 percent of each year&amp;apos;s total apportionment. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico receives 1 percent, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the District of Columbia, and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands each receive one-third of 1 percent. 2. The State fish and wildlife agency must furnish a certification of the number of paid fishing license holders on an annual basis. 3. The program is a cost-reimbursement program: the State covers the full amount of an approved project then applies for reimbursement through the WSFR and can be reimbursed up to 75 percent of project costs through the program. The State must provide at least 25 percent of the project costs from a non-Federal source. The non-Federal match for the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands, and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands must not exceed 25 percent and may be waived at the discretion of the Regional Director. According to 48 U.S.C. 1469(a), the Regional Director must waive the first $200,000 of match for each project from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the territories of Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. The non-Federal share could come from license fees. Matching and cost-sharing requirements are discussed in 50 CFR 80, 43 CFR 12.64 and 43 CFR 12.923. In addition, 43 CFR 12.62 identifies Federal cost principles for determining allowable costs. C. Other: Sport Fish Restoration program funds are available for a period of two years. Any funds not obligated within two years by a fish and wildlife agency revert to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and are returned to the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund for obligation to States in the following year&amp;#191;s apportionment. Although only State agencies can apply for and receive grants under this program, the program encourages partnering with local governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). </Description>

        <Description>The Fellowship Program for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan is a joint activity of the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission (JUSFC) and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Awards support research on modern Japanese society and political economy, Japan&amp;apos;s international relations, and U.S.-Japan relations. The program encourages innovative research that puts these subjects in wider regional and global contexts and is comparative and contemporary in nature. Research should contribute to scholarly knowledge or to the general public&amp;#146;s understanding of issues of concern to Japan and the United States. Appropriate disciplines for the research include anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, linguistics, political science, psychology, public administration, and sociology. The fellowships are designed for researchers with advanced language skills whose research will require use of data, sources, and documents in their original languages or whose research requires interviews onsite in direct one-on-one contact. Fellows may undertake their projects in Japan, the United States, or both, and may include work in other countries for comparative purposes. Projects may be at any stage of development. Awards usually result in articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources. NEH encourages submission of Fellowships for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan applications from faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Institutions with High Hispanic Enrollment, and Tribal Colleges and Universities.</Description>

        <Description>The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Headquarters Region 7 intends to award a single source Cooperative Agreement as authorized by 505 DM 2.14 (B) to Alaska Department of Fish and Game ADF and G. This notice is not a request for proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals. Award for the Yukon River Salmon Panel project will be made 15 days after this notice. PURPOSE This grant agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (hereinafter referred to as the Service) and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (hereinafter referred to as the Department) is entered into under the authority of the Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-450, Title II, Section 205-208, Nov. 7, 2000), and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act 16 USC 661- 667(e) (1970). The Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000 (Act) establishes a Yukon River Salmon Panel to advise the Secretary of State regarding the negotiation of any international agreement with Canada relating to the management of salmon stocks originating from the Yukon River in Canada; advise the Secretary of the Interior regarding restoration and enhancement of such salmon stocks; and to perform other functions relating to the conservation and management of such salmon stocks. The Act authorizes funds for travel expenses of Panel members and their alternates, U.S. members of the Joint Technical Committee (JTC), and members of the Advisory committee; and funds for the U.S. share of expenses incurred by the JTC and any panel established by an agreement between the U.S. and Canada for restoration and enhancement of salmon originating in Canada. OBJECTIVES The U.S. Section of the Panel designated the Department to provide support functions to the Yukon River Salmon Agreement, the JTC, and the Panel. This Grant Agreement puts into place arrangements for reimbursement by the Service for non-Federal government employees travel, lodging, meal expenses, and for expenses for meeting facility fees, meeting materials, photocopying and other agreed upon expenses incurred by the Department and U.S. public members of the Panel, Advisory committee, and JTC associated with Panel process. REASON FOR SINGLE SOURCE (1) Legislative Intent - Because the Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000 identifies that the ADF and G shall be the responsible management entity for the purposes of the Yukon River Salmon Agreement and because the ADF and G chairs the U.S. section of the Panel and Joint Technical Committee, they are the only identifiable and logical recipient for this Federal assistance award. (2) Continuation The activity for which this agreement will support is necessary for the continuation of Service and ADF and G responsibilities pursuant to the Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000. Since 2001, when the Yukon River Salmon Agreement was signed, the Service has had cooperative assistance agreements with ADF and G to support travel needs of the Yukon River Salmon Panel. The most recent agreement expired on January 31, 2012 and continuation of Service financial support to ADF and G is necessary in order to sustain the work of the Panel and ADF and G responsibilities under the Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000 and the Agreement (2001). Competition would have a significant adverse effect on continuation of this legislatively directed activity. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/. Questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at sara@nasa.gov.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Midwest Region, intends to issue a Single Source Cooperative Agreement Award without competition to The Conservation Fund for Mississippi River Basin / Gulf Hypoxia Initiative (MRB/GHI) work as described below.The MRB/GHI, spearheaded by seven Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs), used Structured Decision Making to step through a strategic and transparent process to create an integrated framework that supports resource planning and delivery in the Mississippi watershed with multiple benefits for fish and wildlife habitat, water quality and agricultural productivity. This framework consists of multiple quantitative objectives representing three interests (i.e., wildlife, water quality, agriculture), a tiered set of conservation strategies to achieve those objectives within five production agriculture systems (i.e., corn and soybean; grazing lands; floodplain forest; rice; and cotton), and a modeling approach to determine where to best implement those actions within four key ecological systems of the Mississippi River Basin (i.e., headwater row crop fields; upland prairies; mid-sized riparian streams; and mainstem floodplains). The GHI team narrowed the initial scope of implementation from the entire Mississippi River to a smaller set of focal areas in a Preliminary Water Quality Focus Area based on potential for nutrient export from agricultural areas and the priority watersheds of various parties. </Description>

        <Description>White papers are required prior to submitting full proposals. Communications technology that can provide seamless, robust connectivity is at the foundation of the Sea Power 21 Vision &amp;quot;... to have the right information, at the right place, at the right time ...&amp;quot; The performance of Command and Control (C2) systems and decision making at all levels of command depends critically on reliable, interoperable, survivable, secure, and timely communications and networking. The current evolution of naval warfighting from a platform-centric to a network-centric paradigm depends on successfully meeting the implied need for significantly enhanced communications and networking capabilities of C2, sensor and weapon systems. These systems are deployed on a variety of platforms and users, both manned and unmanned, operating under challenging battlefield conditions (lack of infrastructure, mobility, spectrum, interference, multipath, atmospherics, size/weight/power constraint, etc.) in different environments (space, terrestrial and undersea). The goal of the Communications and Networking Program within the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Code 311 is to overcome these challenges by developing measurable advances in technology that can directly enable and enhance end-to-end connectivity and quality-of-service for mission-critical information exchange among such widely dispersed naval, joint, and coalition forces. Proposals for potential FY16 Exploratory Development/Applied Research (Budget Activity 2) projects are sought under the following focus areas. Highly innovative ideas in other general communications and networking areas that are not within the designated focus areas below, but nonetheless are important to the Navy/Marine Corps, as determined under the synopsis section above may also be considered: 1. Nanosat optical and RF communications: Novel architectures, techniques and technologies specially focused on the hard problems 2. Interference-aligned digital chaos for scalable spectrally-efficient LPI/LPD networking 3. Dynamic scheduling, routing and topology control to efficiently and reliably deliver critical/high priority data to multiple nodes over directional tactical wireless network 4. Innovative techniques for data forwarding and bridging networks with different routing mechanisms, protocols (e.g., IP and non-IP) and QoS parametrics. 5. Software-defined wireless networking architectures/protocols, and exploratory paradigms for control (centralized/distributed), network state sensing (link state, latency, etc.), and resource utilization. </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this agreement is to assist the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) with movement and habitat studies of endangered fishes in the Colorado River Basin while at the same time providing opportunities for undergraduate students in the Fish Ecology Lab (FEL) at Utah State University (USU) to gain valuable work and research experience. FEL will assist in the research, development and installation of various PIT-tag detection systems to be used in studies in the Colorado River Basin. BOR has various obligations under the Endangered Species Act to assist in the recovery of several fish species. PIT- tag detection systems are used in several areas of the Basin to evaluate various biological parameters (e.g. movement, survival and habitat use) to assist management of these species. In many instances hatchery-reared fish are stocked in tributaries or the mainstem of rivers and movement patterns of the fish are used to assist with future stocking recommendations. Additionally, wild fish are often tagged with PIT tags and their movements and survival are tracked using PIT-tag technology.</Description>

        <CloseDateExplanation>Applications Available: March 11, 2015. Note: On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately. One provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name was changed to the Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools. NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer review. We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants. Date of Pre-Application Meeting: April 1, 2015. Date of Pre-Application Meeting: Interested parties are invited to participate in a pre-application meeting and to receive information and technical assistance through individual consultation with NIDILRR staff. The pre-application meeting will be held April 1, 2015.

        <Description>This solicitation covers research and data-collection activities for the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP) and the Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ), two of the Bureau of Justice Statistics&amp;#8217; (BJS) annual data collections on the U.S. correctional system. This award will cover project activities spanning 5 data collection years, 2016&amp;#8211;2020, and 5 fiscal years. Work will begin October 1, 2015, and end September 30, 2020. This marks the first time the two programs will be competed together.The ASJ and DCRP are BJS&amp;#8217;s flagship data collections measuring the size and composition of local jail populations each year. The two collections complement each other by obtaining administrative data to describe and compare the jail population over time. The ASJ, a sample survey, is conducted in years between the Census of Jail Facilities and is used to estimate the number and characteristics of jail inmates. The DCRP data collection has two components. From local jails, BJS collects individual-level data on inmates who died in jails and the circumstances of their deaths, as well as jail-level population data. The population component of the DCRP is used to produce jail population data and calculate jail mortality rates. From state prisons, BJS collects individual-level data on decedents only. Prison population data is culled from existing BJS prison databases. BJS is authorized to issue this solicitation under 42 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 3732(c).</Description>

        <Description>President Barack Obama, during his January 2015 visit to India, noted, &amp;#8220;If America shows itself as an example of its diversity and yet the capacity to live together and work together in common effort, in common purpose; if India, as massive as it is, with so much diversity, so many differences is able to continually affirm its democracy, that is an example for every other country on Earth.&amp;#8221; In this project, U.S. and/or Indian educational non-profit organizations will use low-cost digital and online technologies to conduct a series of structured debates and discussions between American and South Indian high school students, over a four month period, on topics of concern to the U.S. Government&amp;#8217;s Mission in India. Ideas for topics include gender based violence; free trade; foreign policy; freedom of expression and/or religion; governance and judicial independence; and the responsibilities of global powers. U.S. Consulate General Chennai will coordinate with the awardee to choose local and/or regional partner Indian institutions, and will either host these Indian students and teachers at the American Library, or use online communication platforms to virtually connect Indian schools with high school students in American classrooms. These digital dialogues will help Indian youth in rural areas better understand American values and shared U.S. and Indian democratic ideals. Awardee will ensure Indian teachers and administrators understand and are familiar with the technology to encourage them to continue to offer their students access and opportunities to dialogue with U.S. students after project completion. Using innovative communication methods to facilitate discussions about often controversial or sensitive topics will also contribute to the success of this funding opportunity.As an adjunct to the dialogue series, awardee would be responsible for creating an interactive digital product (an online video, for example) highlighting key dialogue topics and significant outcomes. This product would be shared with U.S. and Indian students and schools &amp;#8211; and could be utilized for Consulate events and as a benchmark for future and/or sustaining similar projects. A panel comprised of U.S. Consulate General Chennai staff members will review each complete proposal received before the application deadline. Please note that selected proposals will have to complete additional forms and registration documents within thirty days of notification in order to receive funding.</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) seeks to establish self-sustainable comprehensive clinical services for men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender (TG) and bisexual individuals living with HIV/STI in the Dominican Republic (DR). This project will require joint public-private collaboration between the Ministry of Health (MOH), other governmental entities, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in order to effectively reach the target population and support sustainable clinical services. The collaboration will create comprehensive services to reach, test, treat, and retain MSMs, TG and bisexual individuals living with HIV and create direct linkages to MOH services for people newly diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB). These clinical services will also become training centers for MOH medical, nursing, and laboratory staff and students.</Description>

        <Description>FDA awards Research Project (R01) grants to institutions/organizations of all types. This mechanism allows the PDs/PIs to define the scientific focus or objective of the research based on particular areas of interest and competence. Although the PDs/PIs write the grant application and are responsible for conducting and supervising the research, the actual applicant is the research institution/organization.The Food &amp;amp; Drug Administration&amp;#8217;s (FDA) Center for Veterinary Medicine&amp;#8217;s (CVM) Office of Minor Use &amp;amp; Minor Species Animal Drug Development (OMUMS) was created after &amp;#8220;The Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004&amp;#8221; (MUMS act) was signed into law. The MUMS act helps make more medications legally available to veterinarians and animal owners to treat minor animal species and minor uses in major animal species (MUMS drugs). Major species of animals are: horses, dogs, cats, cattle, swine, turkeys, and chickens. All other animal species (except humans) are minor species. A minor use is the intended use of a new animal drug in a major species for an indication that occurs infrequently and in only a small number of animals or in limited geographical areas and in only a small number of animals annually in the United States.For the purposes of determining whether any particular use in a major species is a minor use, the FDA has established a specific &amp;#8220;small number of animals&amp;#8221; for each of the seven major animal species as follows: Horses-50,000 annually; Dogs-70,000 annually; Cats-120,000 annually; Cattle-310,000 annually; Swine-1,450,000 annually; Turkeys-14,000,000 annually; and Chickens-72,000,000 annually. Additional information about minor use and minor species is available on the FDA&amp;#8217;s website for OMUMS. The FDA is authorized to provide grants for designated new animal drugs to assist in defraying the costs of qualified safety and effectiveness testing. This FOA relates to grants to assist in defraying the costs of qualified safety and effectiveness testing when a grant will either result in, or substantially contribute to, approval or conditional approval of a designated MUMS drug for a designated intended use. The drug being studied must be designated through a formal request to FDA/CVM/OMUMS by the company developing the drug for veterinary use under their Investigational New Animal Drug File (INAD).There are two levels of funding available. Grants will be awarded up to $100,000 per year for up to 2 years, or up to $150,000 per year for up to 3 years in certain cases. Please note the dollar limitation will apply to total costs, not direct costs. Applications for the smaller grants ($100,000) may be for any routine safety or effectiveness study supportive of new animal drug approval or conditional approval of the designated product for the designated intended use. Study proposals for the larger grants ($150,000) must be for necessary studies that are of unusual complexity, duration, or size. A third year of funding is available only for long-term toxicological studies.All funded studies are subject to the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 331 et seq.) regulations issued under it, and applicable Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) statutes and regulations.See Section VIII, Other Information - Required Federal Citations, for policies related to this announcement. </Description>

        <Description>Glycans play key roles in the transmission, antigenicity, and immunogenicity of the HIV-1 envelope protein. Glycans also modulate the immune response, playing an essential role in both innate and adaptive immunity. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate and foster multi-disciplinary investigator- initiated collaborative research to 1) investigate structural and conformational features of glycosylation that may lead to novel HIV vaccine design approaches, and 2) to elucidate the impact of differential glycosylation on the quality of the immune response to HIV. Ultimately, the discovery of a safe, effective, prophylactic vaccine that provides long-term protection from HIV infection may depend on novel approaches that incorporate new knowledge of the key role glycans play in the elicitation and maturation of broadly neutralizing antibodies and effector immune responses. </Description>

        <Description>Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is a National Park surrounded by an urban/industrial complex. In the mid twentieth century, actions to remove wetlands from the dunes adjacent to southern Lake Michigan which included lands of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore were initiated. These actions resulted in the loss and/or degradation of thousands of acres of Oak Savannah from northwest Indiana. Oak savannah ecosystems provide habitats for rare plants, waterfowl, insects and other life forms. Therefore, it is desired to restore historic oak savannah to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.</Description>

        <Description>Since the onset of EVD outbreak in West Africa, there have been over 23,000 reported confirmed, probably, and suspected cases of EVD in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, with over 9000 reported deaths. In Liberia alone, there has been an estimated 9007 total cases resulting in 3900 deaths (WHO, February 18, 2015). This FOA will assist Liberia and its West Africa border countries of Sierra Leone and Guinea in intensifying its surveillance of EVD through training Epidemiologists at the local and National level, providing National Epidemiologist EVD subject matter experts to assist County field teams in their work; as well as provide logistical support, supplies and equipment for Epidemiology Field teams to be able to conduct EVD surveillance. Laboratory systems will be strengthened through the assistance of a Senior Laboratory Data specialist, upgrades to the Laboratory Data Integration systems, and provision of much needed laboratory supplies, reagents, and equipment. EVD Chain of Transmission activities will include assessment of facilities throughout the country; and epidemiological active surveillance country wide, at the county level. Health Care Workers and community health leaders will be trained on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) activities, and infection prevention and control (IPC) activities.</Description>

        <Description>The Public Affairs Section (PAS) invites U.S. and Georgian universities, educational institutes, and non-profit/non-governmental organizations to submit proposals for a two- to three-year project to improve the standards of Georgian academic research in Georgian universities and educational institutes, and to encourage greater interaction between Georgian academic researchers, civil society, and government policy-makers. The project is meant to strengthen the quantitative and qualitative research skills and the academic writing of young Georgian scholars; raise Georgian scholarship to an international standard; and encourage the publication of Georgian scholarly research in Western academic and/or in Georgian peer reviewed journals in areas directly related to: rule of law, domestic policy issues (health care, education, environment, civil service/personnel issues, local government, etc.) and comparative analysis (U.S.-Georgian). The proposal may also include teaching academic English and updating Georgian research library capacities and resources. The direct beneficiaries of this program will be young Georgian academics, primarily assistant professors, PhD candidates, and Public Policy MA students, and the indirect beneficiaries will be their Georgian host universities. </Description>

        <Description>Since the 1990s the congressional budget has included funds for the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to reduce or prevent the complications of hemophilia and other congenital bleeding disorders. Since 1996 the CDC has funded the federal network of hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) for the collection of data for the monitoring of health indicators of importance to persons with bleeding disorders. This data is used to measure rates of complications of bleeding disorders and monitor trends over time (including inhibitors and other issues of blood and treatment product safety); identify high risk populations for prevention programs; and identify issues that require research. The purpose of this FOA is to continue the surveillance for these conditions through the HTCs.</Description>

        <Description>The intended outcome of this FOA is for microbiological and chemical food analyses performed on behalf of State manufactured food regulatory programs to be conducted within the scope of an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited laboratory and the goal of achieving a nationally integrated food safety system to be further advanced. This will be accomplished by preparing the primary food testing laboratories for State manufactured food regulatory programs to achieve and maintain ISO/IEC 17025:2005 laboratory accreditation. Currently accredited laboratories will also be prepared for accreditation enhancements. Increased laboratory analyses from ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited labs, as would be accomplished through this cooperative agreement, will in effect serve to increase the analytical capacity for FDA and enhance efforts to protect the food supply. Data generated by recipient laboratories will be made available for consideration of FDA enforcement actions as well as for surveillance purposes and during response to foodborne outbreaks through eLEXNET. Laboratory accreditation will also assist State manufactured food regulatory programs in achieving conformance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS). </Description>

        <Description>Increased longevity continues to become more prevalent in Native American communities. This trend has placed greater demands on service delivery systems, which are even more complex and fragmented than in non-Indian communities. In recognition of this, under the Older Americans Act (OAA) Amendments of 2006, Congress mandated the support of at least two (2), and not more than four (4), Resource Centers that will focus on issues and concerns affecting individuals who are older Native Americans. The primary goal of these Centers is to enhance knowledge about older Native Americans and thereby to increase and improve the delivery of services to them. The National Resource Centers on Native American Elders (Centers) will concentrate on the development and provision of technical information and expertise and best practices to Indian tribal organizations, Native American communities, educational institutions including Tribal Colleges and Universities, and professionals and paraprofessionals in the field. Each Center must have a national focus and direct its resources to one or more of the areas of primary concern on which the center will focus which shall be; health issues, long-term care, including in-home care; elder abuse; and other problems and issues facing Native communities. Each Center is expected to incorporate the concepts and principles and cultural competencies into all aspects of their staffing, program, and activities. Additionally, each Center&amp;apos;s activities will promote one or more of the AoA priority areas. These priority areas are; 1) make it easier for older people to access an integrated array of health and long-term care services, 2) help older people stay active and healthy, 3) support families in their efforts to care for their loved ones at home and in the community, 4) ensure the rights of older people and prevent their abuse, neglect and exploitation, 5) training and technical assistance, and 6) coordination within the university structure. Per the OAA, these funds shall be used to 1) gather information; 2) performance research; 3) provide for the dissemination of results of the research and 4) provide technical assistance and training to entities that provide services to the elderly Native American populations. Each Center is expected to develop special activities and best practices within its areas of primary concern which will address the special needs of different Indian communities. Each application must contain a description of anticipated outcomes for the activities, how these outcomes will be measured and how the overall success of the program/activity will be determined. For instance, staying active and healthy focuses on the identification and use of evidence-based health promotion and disease prevention interventions that can be applied by non-clinical personnel in a community setting. Statutory Authority The statutory authority for grants under this Program Announcement is contained in Title IV of the Older Americans Act (OAA) (42U.S.C. 3032), as amended by the Older Americans Act Amendments of 2006, P.L. 109-365. (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 93.048, Title IV Discretionary Projects).</Description>

Through this solicitation, NASA establishes a pipeline as well as a mechanism for learners to be inspired, engaged and educated while progressively being challenged. Research indicates that instructional approaches or learning opportunities that engage students actively increase skill acquisition and information retention; encourage more positive attitudes toward STEM disciplines; and strengthen student persistence to study STEM disciplines. Through coordinated and collaborative efforts as an Agency, utilizing STEM engagement, NASA is attracting and retaining students in STEM disciplines who will contribute to the economic growth and global competiveness of the United States. NASA is investing in the youth of today in order to meet its STEM-related missions of tomorrow. Through activities such as the MAA, NASA is cultivating talent that will allow our Nation to explore space while improving life on Ea rth. NASA MUREP Aerospace Academy (MAA) goals: &amp;#149; Improve STEM literacy by engaging students, family members and teachers through the integration of emerging technologies. &amp;#149; Educate students utilizing a STEM curriculum that meets national science, technology, engineering and mathematics standards aligned to NASA&amp;#146;s mission directorates. NASA MUREP Aerospace Academy (MAA) objectives: &amp;#149; Increase the number of historically underserved and underrepresented students interested in NASA specific STEM careers. &amp;#149; Provide skills to parents/caregivers to work with and encourage their children in STEM activities and programs. &amp;#149; Involve community groups, business, industry, museums and educational and professional organizations through mentoring, field trips, guestspeakers and other MAA activities. &amp;#149; Engage students in participatory activities such as hands-on-learning, research, use of advanced technology, peer support groups, and mentoring relationships with professionals working in the STEM fields.

        <Description>The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement to organize and manage a Train-the Trainer program for selected English language teachers in India. The program will have three distinct phases. In the first phase, the Regional English Language Office (RELO) of the U.S. Embassy will select an American trainer and 24 alumni from our E-teacher courses for a three-day face-to-face program. The organization that is awarded this cooperative agreement will be responsible for organizing all travel and logistics for this three-day program to the training site. In the second phase, each participant will submit a small proposal to conduct a teacher training workshop in their home regions. The organization awarded this cooperative agreement will distribute the scholarship funds for these small projects. The organization will be responsible for receiving the proposals, distributing the scholarships and ensuring all reports are complete. Finally, in the third phase, a two-day evaluation program will be offered for the same group of participants. This will be organized after they have conducted their regional trainings and within approximately a year of the implementation of the first program. Again the organization awarded this cooperative agreement will need to arrange all travel and logistics for this final phase. We strongly encourage non-profit organizations and academic institutions that have specific expertise in implementing professional development programs for English teachers to apply for this opportunity. (Please refer full announcement for details).</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible Applicants: Entities that are, at the time of award, small business concerns as defined by the Small Business Administration (SBA). This definition is included in the application package.      If it appears that an applicant organization does not meet the eligibility requirements, we will request an evaluation by the SBA.   Under circumstances in which eligibility is unclear, we will not make an SBIR award until the SBA makes a determination that the applicant is eligible under its definition of small business concern.      Technology, science, and engineering firms with strong research capabilities in any of the priority areas listed in this notice are encouraged to participate. Consultative or other arrangements between these firms and universities or other nonprofit organizations are permitted, but the small business concern must serve as the grantee. For Phase I projects, at least two-thirds of the research or analytic activities must be performed by the small business concern grantee.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <CloseDateExplanation>Applications Available: March 13, 2015.        Note: On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately. One provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name was changed to the Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools. NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer review. We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants.        Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: May 12, 2015.  </CloseDateExplanation>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. The Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 (Act), Pub. L. 97-219, established the SBIR program. The Act requires certain agencies, including the Department, to reserve a statutory percentage of their extramural R&amp;amp;D budgets for two phases of the three-phase SBIR program (see http://sbir.gov/about/about-sbir for more information on the program). Phase I awards are to determine, insofar as possible, the scientific or technical merit, feasibility, and commercial potential of R&amp;amp;D projects submitted under the SBIR program. Phase I awards are for amounts up to $75,000 and for a period of up to six months. Phase II projects continue the development of Phase I projects. Funding is based on the results achieved in Phase I and the scientific and technical merit and commercial potential of the proposed Phase II project. Only Phase I grantees are eligible to apply for Phase II funding. Phase II awards are for amounts up to $575,500 over a period of two years. In Phase III, the small business grantee pursues commercial applications of the Phase I and II R&amp;amp;D. The SBIR program does not fund Phase III. All SBIR projects funded by NIDILRR must address the needs of individuals with disabilities. (See 29 U.S.C. 760.) Project activities may include: Conducting manufacturing-related R&amp;amp;D that encompasses improvements in existing methods or processes, or wholly new processes, machines, or systems, that benefit individuals with disabilities; Exploring the uses of technology to ensure equal access to education, employment, community environments, and information for individuals with disabilities; and Improving the quality and utility of disability and rehabilitation research. Note: An applicant should consult NIDRR&amp;apos;s Long-Range Plan for Fiscal Years 2013-2017 (78 FR 20299, published April 4, 2013) (the Plan) when preparing its application. The Plan is organized around the following research domains: (1) Community Living and Participation; (2) Health and Function; and (3) Employment. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.133S-1.

        <Description>Short Line railroads operate more than 50,000 miles of track, which is one-third of the national railroad network. They are an important feeder system for the larger Class I railroads, helping connect local communities to the national railroad network. There are 550 short line railroads operating in the United States, 73 of which currently handle some volume of crude oil. The safety management system of short lines is extremely varied and many companies lack the resources to conduct hazardous materials safety training and other operational safety assessments. FRA&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s Office of Research and Development is working with the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) to coordinate the development of a Safety Institute. The Institute&amp;apos;s mission is to build a stronger and sustainable safety culture in the short line industry through non-punitive and voluntary partnerships with member railroads. The Institute will also provide manager and employee education and training programs for short line railroads.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that seek additional funding to support the next stage of development for projects that were previously funded under SBIR or STTR Phase II awards from any Federal agency. Projects proposed in response to this FOA must be applicable to one of the following areas: (1) cancer therapeutics; (2) cancer imaging technologies, interventional devices, and in vivo diagnostics; or (3) in vitro and ex vivo cancer diagnostics and prognostics. The purpose of this FOA is to facilitate the transition of SBIR or STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage. This FOA is expected to promote partnerships between Federally-funded SBIR or STTR Phase II awardees and third-party investors and/or strategic partners to facilitate and accelerate the capital-intensive steps that are required to commercialize new products and services. Consistent with the goals of this funding initiative and as required by the SF424 instructions for all Phase II SBIR applications, applicants must submit a Commercialization Plan, which should include details on any independent third-party investor funding that has already been secured or is anticipated during the Phase IIB Bridge Award project period. It is expected that the level of this independent third-party funding will be equal to or greater than the NCI funds being requested throughout the Phase IIB Bridge Award project period. Proposed projects may address preclinical and/or clinical stages of technology development. Clinical trials may be proposed as appropriate but are not required.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the project is to evaluate the clinical laboratory best practice recommendations for reducing blood sample hemolysis rates developed through the Laboratory Medicine Best PracticesTM (LMBPTM) Initiative of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These recommendations were the product of a systematic review for evidence of effectiveness for practices to reduce hemolysis and were developed using the A6 Method established through the LMBPTM Initiative. The project seeks to measure the extent of improvement that results from implementation of these evidence-based best practice recommendations. The project can be implemented as a study conducted in multiple institutions or facilities in a healthcare system. The purpose is limited to quality improvement associated with delivering healthcare, and the associated measuring and reporting of performance data.</Description>

        <Description>Washington State University has been working with the BLM since 2009 to study habitat selection and movement patterns of translocated sage and sharp-tailed grouse in Lincoln County, Washington. Vegetation maps of the translocation area have been jointly developed by WSU and BLM to provide a detailed habitat layer from which to base habitat selection models. In 2013 a Master&amp;apos;s thesis on habitat selection of translocated grouse was published by WSU (Stonehouse 2013). Currently WSU has begun analyzing grouse movement data and home range size in relation to a recent fire in the study area. This work is ongoing, but will eventually compare grouse movement after the fire to the pre-fire results shown in Stonehouse (2013). In 2015, project partners expect to translocate up to 40 more sage-grouse to the Lincoln County population, 20 of which will be fitted with radio collars. Also in 2015, we expect to deploy up to 12 radio collars on native sage-grouse in Douglas County, Washington. Previous studies have focused on nesting habitat and spring/summer movements, but little is known about how movement and behavior affects survival, and how re-introduced grouse compare to residents. Since the re-introduction effort is continuing using radio collared birds, there is opportunity to learn more about these specific questions. To study movement and behavior of sage-grouse in the Crab Creek and Moses Coulee Management Areas of eastern Washington. This work will be conducted in close coordination with project partners in a collaborative setting.</Description>

        <Description>Per language in the Oregon Natural Heritage Act, the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center (ORBIC), currently located at Portland State University, is the State agency responsible for rare and endangered invertebrates in Oregon. As such, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has granted the program limited authority to administer and manage a program for federally threatened and endangered invertebrate species, as provided under Section 6 of US Federal Endangered Species Act. As ORBIC is the clearing house that provides the monitors and coordinates and maintains Oregon&amp;apos;s most comprehensive database of rare, threatened and endangered species, the BLM has been partnering with ORBIC for the past 20 years to conduct monitoring of the Oregon Coast western snowy plover population. This monitoring is a recovery task identified in the Western Snowy Plover Recovery Plan (USFWS 2007) and the Oregon Conservation Program for the Western Snowy Plover (ODFW 1994). The objective of this program is to continue annual monitoring of the Oregon Coast population of snowy plover reproductive success to assess whether recovery goals under the Endangered Species Act are being met.</Description>

        <Description>Water temperature and total dissolved gas (TDG) in the Columbia River is strongly influenced by the storage and release of water from projects like Grand Coulee Dam. Previous work has produced a temperature model (CE-QUAL-W2) of Lake Roosevelt for the purpose of informing in-season watershed management decisions to reduce take and to allow the evaluation of various operational and structural alternatives that can influence the regulation of water flow and temperature. The purpose of this project is to update the aforementioned Lake Roosevelt CE-QUAL-W2 model to also simulate TDG. This data may then be used as input to downstream Columbia River System water quality models. This capability is to assist in real-time decision making, and investigate alternatives to reduce total mass loading of TDG at Bonneville Dam while maintaining juvenile survival performance.</Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grant Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitat, including species that are not hunted or fished. Activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#191;s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan (Wildlife Action Plan) that was to be submitted by October 1, 2005 and must be approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Wildlife Action Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species with the greatest conservation need and taking into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project which directly contributes to the conservation of wildlife species of greatest conservation need and their habitats, and is consistent with the development or implementation of the State&amp;#191;s Wildlife Action Plan.</Description>

        <Description>The St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for coastal research investigating the historically dynamic morphology within the Gulf offshore, and back-barrier environments in coastal Louisiana.USGS and its state partner Louisiana Coastal Restoration and Protection Authority (CPRA) developed the Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) Program, to complement other coast-wide monitoring programs, such as the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) and the proposed System-Wide Assessment and Monitoring Framework (SWAMP). This research will provide long-term data on the Gulf coasts of Louisiana that could be used to plan, design, evaluate, and maintain current and future barrier-island restoration projects.The goal of this project is to promote cooperation between the USGS and Cooperative Ecosystems Study Unit (CESU) partner to continue coastal research and characterization of sediment texture, or grain size, within coastal-zone environments in order to evaluate relations between sediment-transport patterns, alongshore variability from the shoreline to Depth-of-Closure (DoC), geotechnical properties that influence the development of shoreline nourishment and restoration approaches, and to model-anticipated coastal-system response to storm events.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligibility Criteria: U.S. and non-U.S. public, private, for-profit, and nonprofit organizations, as well as institutions of higher education, public international organizations, and non-governmental organizations, are eligible to submit a concept paper under each Round(s) of the APS. Further, the organization must be a legally-recognized, organizational entity under applicable law, not otherwise restricted by statute, regulation, Agency policy, or administrative determination (i.e., suspension and debarment) from receiving assistance, and legally registered in a country that is not a prohibited source per ADS 310.  Each recipient must be a responsible entity. The AO may determine a Pre-Award survey is required and if so, would establish a formal survey team to conduct an examination that will determine whether the prospective recipient has the necessary organizational, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills &amp;#8211; or ability to obtain them &amp;#8211; in order to achieve the objectives of the program. Organizations in developing countries are strongly encouraged to apply, inasmuch as they will support not only the objectives of this APS and the Round(s) they are applying to, but also USAID&amp;apos;s objectives to build capacities in local organizations that are needed for sustainable development. USAID strongly encourages applications from potential new partners that meet the eligibility requirements and are willing to be subjected to a Pre-Award Survey.  Concept papers from organizations that do not meet the above eligibility criteria will not be reviewed and evaluated. Individuals are not eligible to apply for any Rounds of this APS.  Please see Round-specific additional eligibility criteria for any changes to this information.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Round 2 Call for Concept Papers opened on January 2, 2020. Concept papers are due on January 22nd. Please see the &amp;quot;Related Documents&amp;quot; tab for the Round 2 Document. Please also review the Revised PACE APS, posted under &amp;quot;Related Documents&amp;quot; on December 11, 2019. This revised APS publicizes the intention of the United States Government (USG) to fund one or multiple awards through the USAID Global Health Bureau to address the overarching APS Program Purpose of assuring that voluntary family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH) and population dynamics are included in policies and programs as key to sustainable and equitable economic growth and development. This main APS document outlines the purpose, sub-purpose, expected results, and priorities of Policy, Advocacy, and Communication Enhanced for Population and Reproductive Health (PACE), and may result in multiple awards issued under subsequent APS Rounds. Note: When referencing PACE in this document, the reference is to the full portfolio of possible awards under this overall purpose. This specific document is an umbrella APS and will not be accepting concept papers or applications. Prospective applicants will be provided a fair opportunity to develop and submit competitive concept papers to USAID for potential funding via discrete Rounds under this APS. For the purposes of the PACE APS, a &amp;#8220;Round&amp;#8221; is defined as a specific program description that falls under the larger PACE APS purpose, sub-purpose, and results but is tailored to a certain focus. Under each Round, applicants will first submit a short concept paper that will be reviewed for responsiveness to the overall PACE purpose, selected results, and Round&amp;#8217;s focus and then scored according to the review criteria provided in the Round document. If an applicant is successful in the concept paper stage, applicant representatives may be invited to join a co-creation process. Following co-creation, selected applicants (individual organizations and/or consortia developed at concept paper stage or during co-creation) will be requested to submit a Full Application, the content and format of which will be provided in greater detail by the Agreement Officer. Publishing this APS does not commit USAID to make any awards. USAID also reserves the right to not conduct a co-creation workshop/process and request Full Applications from successful applicants at concept paper stage. Pending funding availability, there may be multiple Rounds for this APS that will all aim to meet the Purpose and Results mentioned above. The financial range for award(s) will be specified in each Round. Issuance of this APS does not constitute an award or commitment on the part of the USG, nor does it commit the USG to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a concept paper or an application. USAID reserves the right to close or amend the APS on or before the closing date (March 12, 2025). Therefore, for each issued Round, organizations are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to be considered for review to maximize the possibility of receiving available funding. As Rounds occur, notifications will be posted on Grants.gov. Please refer to the specific Round documents for detailed information on the concept paper submission guidance including Round points of contact, concept paper requirements, and evaluation criteria for the specific Round. These Round documents should be located under the &amp;quot;Related Documents&amp;quot; tab in this posting. For a USAID Mission or USAID/Washington Office wishing to issue a Round under this APS, the program description must fit within Section I of this document. Please contact Samantha Pierre (spierre@usaid.gov) for review of the Round document - it must be reviewed before being posted publicly under this APS. All new Rounds must be posted as a PACE APS Round on the USAID Business Forecast.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are domestic nonprofit community-based organizations (CBOs) in counties with HIV prevalence rates of 270/100,000 and federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations with HIV prevalence rates of 270/100,000 or higher.   Data must be provided to verify eligibility.  Counties may use AIDS Vu data available at http://aidsvu.org/data-methods/data-methods-state-county/, data from county health departments, or data from CDC&amp;#8217;s national HIV surveillance database housed in the Division of HIV Prevention&amp;#8217;s HIV Incidence and Case Surveillance Branch.  Tribes may use local tribal epidemiologic data.   Documentation of an HIV prevalence rate of 270/100,000 or higher must be provided in Attachment 6 of the application.  If applicants do not provide this documentation or the documentation provided does not demonstrate the specified rate, the application will be screened out and will not be reviewed.    Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities.  Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval.    Eligibility for this grant program is limited in support of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), which clearly articulates the need for resources to be strategically concentrated in areas with high rates of HIV infection, and the need to target specific population subgroups at higher risk, such as men who have sex with men.  In addition, SAMHSA believes that in order to achieve the goals of this program and increase access to care and services for racial and ethnic minorities at high risk for or living with HIV/AIDS, grant funds must go directly to community-based organizations, tribes and tribal organizations.  Therefore, state and local governments are not eligible to apply.   Current SAMHSA funded TCE-HIV grantees awarded under the FY 2012 TCE-HIV program (TI-12-007) and the FY 2013 TCE-HIV: Minority Women program (TI-13-011) are not eligible to apply for this program because they currently have funding to engage in the aforementioned activities.  This will allow for services to be implemented more broadly in additional communities.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

The purpose of this program is to expand substance use disorder treatment, behavioral health and HIV services for high risk populations including African American, Hispanic/Latino and other racial/ethnic minority men and women (ages 18 years and older), including heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons, Young Men who have Sex with Men (YMSM), Men who have Sex with Men (MSM), person who were previously incarcerated, and their significant others, who have substance use disorders (SUD) and/or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders and are living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS (hereafter known as &amp;#8220;the population of focus&amp;#8221;) in counties with the highest HIV prevalence rates (at or above 270 per 100,000). The expected outcomes for the program include reducing the negative impact of behavioral health problems; increasing access to and retention in treatment for behavioral health conditions; reducing the risk of HIV; reducing new HIV and viral hepatitis infections by increasing HIV and viral hepatitis testing and diagnosis; and increasing provision of or linkage to HIV care including antiretroviral therapy (ART). This program will ensure that the population of focus has access to and receives appropriate behavioral health services.</Description>

        <Description>Whitworth University has been working with the BLM to monitor the long-term trend of translocated sage and sharp-tailed grouse habitat in Lincoln County, Washington beginning in 2014. An analysis of nested-frequency vegetation data has been completed by Whitworth University detailing how nesting habitat has changed in the study area over a 15-year period. In 2015, project partners expect to translocate up to 40 additional sage-grouse to the Lincoln County population, 20 of which will be fitted with radio collars. Previous studies have focused on nesting habitat and spring/summer movements, but little is known about how translocated grouse, in the study area, use mesic habitat, presumably important for brood-rearing. Vegetation maps of the translocation area have been jointly developed by WSU and BLM to provide a detailed habitat layer from which to base habitat selection models. Mesic habitat is identified on this map but not further described, classified or evaluated for importance to grouse. Since the re-introduction effort is continuing using radio collared birds, there is opportunity to learn more about these specific questions. The objective of this program is to study habitat use of sage-grouse and sharp-tailed grouse in the Crab Creek Management Area of eastern Washington. This work will be conducted in close coordination with project partners in a collaborative setting.</Description>

        <Description>Monitoring avian populations and their associated habitats is a priority for avian conservation and management throughout the BLM. The BLM has been working with Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO) on bird conservation projects and programs since 1992. Information gained from these efforts has been incorporated and disseminated as the latest knowledge and recommendations for avian conservation throughout Oregon and Washington. Over the past decade KBO, in cooperation with several other organizations and individuals, has been involved in the intensive monitoring and inventory of neotropical migratory birds in the region. Additionally KBO has brought scare resources to the table in the form of skilled avian conservation staff to implement research, environmental education, social science and monitoring efforts. Their expertise and skills to access, retrieve and utilize the data stored in the Avian Knowledge Northwest (AKNW) database has been used to make comparative analyses and management recommendations for ongoing avian data collection efforts in Oregon and Washington. This has provided the BLM the unique ability to assess the growing avian conservation needs. The primary objective of this program is to evaluate the population health of landbirds in various habitats, and for the continued monitoring, research, environmental education, social science and adaptive management projects of avian conservation throughout OR and WA. The recipient will cooperatively assess and determine the status and trends of avifauna throughout OR and WA and continue to seek opportunities to engage the BLM in bird conservation opportunities at regional and national scales. The recipient is required to monitor species presence/absence, estimate densities, create habitat associations for guilds of avifauna and monitor population trends for individual species across habitat types and management regimes. The ability to analyze, interpret, incorporate and disseminate the information into planning and management efforts is essential. This cooperative endeavor seeks to develop cutting edge knowledge of issues and recommendations for avian conservation efforts in Oregon and Washington. The program also includes monitoring and censussing avian populations and habitats to obtain data on species diversity, abundance and demographic rates in a variety of habitat types.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research Ice2O, to integrate observations from multiple data sets within different disciplines to quantitatively describe glacier-forced change in the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest (PCTR) hydrologic cycle. Rapid mass loss from glaciers constitutes a primary driver for regional hydrologic change. In the PCTR, freshwater fluxes are a key link between physical and ecological processes. This project will provide tools to enhance science-based management of the PCTR ecosystem. These results are essential to a diverse range of science and management applications that reach far beyond glacier mass balance, including water resources, ocean circulation and stratification, fisheries management, tourism, flood forecasting and hydropower.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to assist with research into the use of cloud computing capabilities that enhance processing of satellite remote sensing data for estimation of vegetation water use and drought monitoring. USGS EROS scientists support the needs of the USGS National Water Census (NWC) for information on water availability and water use through the development and application of algorithms for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) with thermal infrared imagery acquired by Landsat and MODIS instruments. These same ET products also help meet the drought monitoring requirements of the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), the USAID Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), and the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). Because these requirements entail coverage of broad areas and multi-year time-series, the data processing challenge is significant. It is presently the greatest obstacle to using the Landsat archive to document crop and vegetation water use back to the early 1980s for the NWC. </Description>

        <Description>U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Western Geographic Science Center (WGSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to fund research contributing to improved methods for modeling primary evacuation-route corridors, hotspots, and potential landscape constraints for areas in tsunami-hazard zones with high population densities. To improve tsunami-evacuation planning, managers would benefit from information on potential landscape constraints related to evacuation corridors. Research is needed that focuses on identifying and mapping primary evacuation corridors for at-risk populations from northern California to Washington that leverages existing USGS evacuation modeling efforts in the region. Modeling results will be integrated with demographic and economic data to characterize population demand for various evacuation corridors. Potential landscape improvements (e.g., bridges or vegetation control) will also be factored into modeling efforts. Spatially-explicit information that characterizes evacuation corridors and potential landscape constraints would further existing collaborations between the U.S. Geological Survey and State emergency management agencies to improve knowledge of tsunami evacuation issues. This information would be an essential component of supporting effective local, State, and Federal tsunami preparedness and response strategies.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Science Application for Risk Reduction (SAFRR) and WGSC is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for an evaluation of the HayWired scenario. The purpose of the evaluation is to ensure that the project has measurable objectives and remains focused on fulfilling the objectives. The awardee will systematically evaluate the attainment of a few selected project objectives because it will not be possible to evaluate all objectives within budget constraints. The evaluator will supply criteria for evaluating objectives, propose a range of data collection approaches, and the capacity for evaluations that are documented in reports and/or powerpoint formats. The evaluation will determine how broadly the objectives were applied by the targeted user community in terms of increased awareness, knowledge and actions taken towards reducing risk associated with large earthquakes. The proposed work will obtain information that provides feedback on HayWired scenario science and outreach to WGSC and SAFRR, as well as results to help determine which strategies are most likely to be effective in long-term efforts to innovate the application of science and transferable to other settings in future projects.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to provide collaborative research for field observational and numerical modeling studies to measure and predict physical oceanographic and sediment transport processes in a tidal inlet. Research objectives include numerical investigations on the sediment dynamics in an inlet to predict the equilibrium conditions of inlet morphodynamic evolution for a given set of tidal prism and wave conditions. The numerically simulated morphodynamic evolution should be compared to observational data collected at a realistic tidal inlet with similar dynamics. The proposed study area is Matanzas Inlet, FL, a mixed regime inlet with a combination of waves and currents. This study area is one of the very few inlets in the East coast of Florida not stabilized by jetties and the least affected by human interventions.</Description>

        <Description>The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) amended Section 18 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) to establish a Farm to School Program in order to assist eligible entities, through grants and technical assistance, in implementing farm to school programs that improve access to local foods in eligible schools. To fulfill the farm to school mandate in the HHFKA, $5 million is provided to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) on an annual basis to support grants, technical assistance, and the federal administrative costs related to USDA&amp;#8217;s Farm to School Program. This request for applications (RFA) provides additional details regarding the grants component of the USDA Farm to School Program. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is charged with implementing the Farm to School Program. In this funding cycle, USDA anticipates awarding approximately $6 million in grant funding to support efforts that improve access to local foods in schools. Beyond the $5 million in funding provided in the HHFKA, in fiscal year (FY) 2016 USDA anticipates the availability of an additional $1 million, subject to appropriation, in grant funding to support placement of volunteer service members (e.g. AmeriCorps, VISTA, local service corps programs, etc.) in schools throughout the country to build or maintain school gardens, incorporate nutrition education into the schools&amp;#8217; culture, and support school food service personnel in procuring or promoting local and regional products for the school meal program.The Secretary of Agriculture was also directed through the HHFKA to ensure geographical diversity and equitable treatment of urban, rural, and tribal communities, as well as give the highest priority to funding projects that, as determined by the Secretary &amp;#8211; (a) Make local food products available on the menu of the eligible school;(b) Serve a high proportion of children who are eligible for free or reduced price lunches;(c) Incorporate experiential nutrition education activities in curriculum planning that encourage the participation of school children in farm and garden-based activities; (d) Demonstrate collaboration between eligible schools, nongovernmental and community-based organizations, agricultural producer groups, and other community partners; (e) Include adequate and participatory evaluation plans;(f) Demonstrate the potential for long-term program sustainability; and,(g) Meet any other criteria that the Secretary determines appropriate. Authorizing language also states that as a condition of receiving a USDA Farm to School Program Grant, each grant recipient shall provide matching support in the form of cash or in-kind contributions, and agree to cooperate in an evaluation of the program carried out using grant funds. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service, intention to fund the following project activities without competition. NPS, working with government agencies, universities, and private not-for-profit organizations, has designed a process and developed protocols for monitoring long-term ecological integrity of national park ecosystems in the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) of national parks of the Pacific Northwest. Breeding populations of landbirds have been identified as an important indicator of changes in ecological condition of these park units, and have been selected for long-term monitoring. The Institute of Bird Populations (IBP) has a lengthy history of working with the National Park Service to inventory avifauna in park units throughout the country. In 2000, the Institute began working directly with NCCN parks, first, by working with North Cascades National Park to summarize recommendations of an expert panel for developing a spatially extensive inventory and monitoring program in North Cascades National Park (Siegel and Kuntz, 2000). Subsequently, the NCCN adapted those recommendations and established a cooperative agreement with the Institute to conduct large-scale avian inventories in North Cascades, Olympic, Mount Rainier, and San Juan Islands. The Institute completed fieldwork for these avian inventories in 2004 (Siegel et al. 2002, 2004a, 2004b, 2005a, 2005b). Consequently, the Institute has become the leading expert in conducting avian inventories and monitoring programs in national parks of the NCCN. In October 2003, the Institute entered into a 3-year cooperative agreement with US Geological Survey to help the NCCN develop a Landbird Monitoring Plan that included a peer-reviewed monitoring protocol and a manual of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). A draft protocol and SOPs were written and peer-reviewed in summer/fall of 2006. Implementing this protocol enabled NCCN parks to track and understand how avian communities and their habitats respond to natural processes, to distinguish differences between human-induced disturbance effects and those caused by natural processes, to provide early detection of environmental impairment, and to provide park managers with comprehensive, scientifically-based information about the nature and status of selected biological resources occurring within park boundaries in a form that increases its accessibility and utility for making management decisions, for scientific research, and for educating the public. The National Park Service, North Cascades National Park, intends to award a Task Agreement (TA) to provide for avian studies based upon this announcement. This funding announcement is not a request for applications. See attached Notice of Intent NPS-NOI-NOCA-P15AS00061 for additional details. </Description>

        <Description>The ASPP are two separate data collections, independently referred to as the Annual Probation Survey and Annual Parole Survey. Since 1980, the ASPP have collected aggregate data on the number of persons supervised on probation or parole (i.e., post-custody community supervision), together referred to as the community supervision population. The ASPP obtain aggregated data from administrative records maintained by state probation and/or parole agencies; local agencies (municipal, county, or court); and the federal system. The ASPP are core BJS data collections and are the only national data collections that describe the size, change, movements, outcomes, and characteristics of the community supervision populations at the national, federal, and state levels. Together with data from the National Prisoner Statistics (NPS) Program, which collects counts of persons incarcerated in federal and state prisons, and data from the Annual Survey of Jails, which collects counts of persons held in local jails, ASPP data are used to estimate the total number of persons supervised by the adult correctional systems in the United States. Collectively, these data collections are also critical for tracking the level and change in the correctional populations over time and enhancing the understanding of the flow of offenders through and eventually out of the criminal justice system.The ASPP collection is BJS&amp;#8217;s most comprehensive source of information about persons under community supervision, which accounts for the largest segment of the adult correctional population in the United States. At yearend 2013, more than 4.75 million adults were under community supervision in the United States, including 3.9 million probationers and more than 850,000 parolees. About 7 in 10 persons under correctional supervision in the United States lived in the community in 2013, compared to 3 in 10 who were incarcerated in prison or jail. The ASPP collection fills a valuable role by measuring the number of persons under community supervision each year, the change in this number and factors associated with the change (such as movements onto and off community supervision), the characteristics of this population, and outcomes of supervision. These surveys collect information from both large and small agencies, which are located at various levels and branches of government and have highly diverse data record systems and resources. </Description>

        <CloseDateExplanation>Applications Available: March 16, 2015.        Note:  On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately.   One provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name was changed to the Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools. NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer review. We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants.        Date of Pre-Application Meeting: April 7, 2015. Date of Pre-Application Meeting: Interested parties are invited to participate in a pre-application meeting and to receive information and technical assistance through individual consultation with NIDILRR staff. The pre-application meeting will be held April 7, 2015. Interested parties may participate in this meeting by conference call with NIDILRR staff from the Administration for Community Living between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., Washington, DC time. NIDILRR staff also will be available from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the same day, by telephone, to provide information and technical assistance through individual consultation. For further information or to make arrangements to participate in the meeting via conference call or to arrange for an individual consultation, contact Carolyn Baron, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 550 12th Street SW., Room 5134, PCP, Washington, DC 20202; or by email to: Carolyn.Baron@ed.gov.

        <Description>This NOFA is designed with two components: OneCPD Integrated Practitioner Assistance System (OneCPD) and Core Curricula for Skills-Based Training (Core Curricula). 1. OneCPD is a cross-program, assessment-based, and impact-focused delivery system. OneCPD is intended as a collaborative effort among HUD, our state and local partners, including Continuums of Care (CoC), and successful applicants focused on building the kind of grantee management systems and functional capacity necessary to successfully carry out comprehensive and sustainable &amp;#147;place-based&amp;#148; development and revitalization strategies. Just as importantly, OneCPD will allow grantees to showcase accomplishments by measuring not only the outputs of this technical and capacity building assistance but the outcomes and the impact on communities as well. Through OneCPD, HUD can develop a new level of technical assistance and capacity building to meet the challenges facing federal funding recipients during the current nationwide economic retrenchment. Many of HUD&amp;#146;s state and local government grantees have lost some of the capacity, resources and skills necessary to administer CPD programs within the contexts of their local markets. HUD&amp;#146;s role in administering grants is two-fold: (1) build the capacity of grantees to support local decision-making with federal grants, and (2) conduct monitoring and oversight to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and to ensure appropriate use of funding. To address both purposes, OneCPD will focus on skills, planning, and innovation to build grantee capacity and help grantees comply with regulatory requirements. The Core Curricula will support the development and delivery of core courses and topic-specific trainings to improve grantee skills in the areas of development finance, environmental review and compliance, asset management and preservation, and construction and rehabilitation management. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the NHEPL is to reduce lupus related health disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations disproportionately affected by this disease by conducting a national lupus education initiative that includes the general public, health professionals and student trainees in targeted communities, schools and health care systems and practices. Three to five grantees will be funded to conduct this national initiative. These grantees will be responsible for conducting at least two of the following three priority activities: A. Conduct provider training to include physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and allied health professionals to engage them to improve lupus diagnosis and treatment through education, appropriate linkages to care, disease management, and enrollment in health coverage.B. Implement a lupus program through a comprehensive community level education effort that will serve persons living with lupus and their family members. The program will include: community outreach to improve awareness and understanding oflupus and management of primary and secondary conditions; access to care and coverage to increase the number of persons linked to health care services and enrolled in health coverage; and communication strategies such as electronic media and patient/provider software application development to improve disease management and outcomes and patient/provider communication.C. Develop and maintain patient and family care networks to identify strategies that address the emotional and social support needs of individuals diagnosed with lupus and their families and improve care coordination across the health care delivery system.</Description>

        <Description>The Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge led an effort to develop a voluntary participation water temperature monitoring implementation plan funded by the Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative. The initial partnership of Refuge Staff, ADF&amp;amp;G, Sunaq Tribe, and the Kodiak Aquaculture Association conducted extensive outreach to identify additional partners willing to participate in the water temperature monitoring network. In 2015 the Western Alaska LCC funded the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge to initiate the water temperature monitoring network as described in the strategic plan. The partners will collect and share water temperature data for at least two years in an effort to improve the available information to understand how salmon habitat may change as water temperature changes occur.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, is offering a funding opportunity to collate and analyze USGS sensor data to create an open national database of stream oxygen data with which to calculate stream metabolism. Existing data sets will be used to ask what is the annual stream metabolism in the conterminous US, what is the role of streams and rivers in regional carbon cycling, and are there trends in stream metabolism related to anthropogenic changes? Specific objectives include acquiring and screening USGS data on oxygen, temperature and discharge from USGS Water Science center databases, estimating gas exchange velocity between stream and atmosphere using Bayesian approaches to develop a probability distribution, analyzing metabolism data in association with other land use and water quality data, and producing openly-shared data, models, and analytical code.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) SAFRR and WGSC is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for an evaluation of the HayWired scenario. The purpose of the evaluation is to ensure that the project has measurable objectives and remains focused on fulfilling the objectives. The awardee will systematically evaluate the attainment of a few selected project objectives because it will not be possible to evaluate all objectives within budget constraints. The evaluator will supply criteria for evaluating objectives, propose a range of data collection approaches, and the capacity for evaluations that are documented in reports and/or powerpoint formats. The evaluation will determine how broadly the objectives were applied by the targeted user community in terms of increased awareness, knowledge and actions taken towards reducing risk associated with large earthquakes. The proposed work will obtain information that provides feedback on HayWired scenario science and outreach to WGSC and SAFRR, as well as results to help determine which strategies are most likely to be effective in long-term efforts to innovate the application of science and transferable to other settings in future projects.</Description>

        <Description>Power cycles based on a supercritical carbon dioxide, SCO2, working fluid have the potential for higher thermal efficiencies and a lower capital cost when compared to state of the art steam-based power cycles. The cost and performance of recuperators are currently seen as a significant barrier to the full-scale demonstration and economic viability of SCO2 power cycle technology. The purpose of this FOA is to seek applications for the development of high temperature recuperator technologies that are capable of handling the SCO2 RCBC system requirements while also maintaining a cost effectiveness required for commercial adaptation. Modular concepts and or strategies that are capable of scalability to address the wide variation in size, capacity and temperature anticipated for the varied applications are of particular interest. Responsive applications will provide a plan for focused research and development of innovative designs, materials and manufacturi ng methods to produce scalable, cost- effective recuperators suitable for deployment in large-scale SCO2 power cycle applications. </Description>

        <Description>In order to reduce solar transaction costs (soft costs) and increase transparency and efficient pricing, the U.S. Department of Energy?s SunShot Initiative is exploring best strategies to support, expand, and streamline competitive and non-competitive efforts in the solar industry related to collecting, securing, managing, exchanging, and monetizing solar datasets, across the value chain in the U.S. from project origination to grid integration, operations, and decommissioning. Improved data availability reduces informational asymmetries, accelerates the maturity of solar related products and services, and increases solar deployment. Areas of key interest center on technical, economic, administrative, and legal barriers and opportunities to reduce costs of capital, lower operational risks, protect consumers, and increase efficient market activities. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This RFI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. All responses to this RFI must be provided as an attachment to an email message addressed to solardata@ee.doe.gov. Responses must be received no later than 5:00 PM EDT on April 10, 2015. The full content of this RFI can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the FY 2015 Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) program. First authorized in 1972, HCOP provides grants to eligible accredited health professions schools and public and private non-profit health or educational entities. The program&amp;#8217;s goal is to provide individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds an opportunity to develop the skills needed to successfully compete for, enter, and graduate from health or allied health professions schools. HCOP focuses on three key milestones of education: high school completion; acceptance, retention and graduation from college; and acceptance, retention and completion of a health professions program. The HCOP statutory authority includes a Funding Preference for applicants that utilize a Comprehensive Approach &amp;#8211; an organizational model involving partnerships between several public or nonprofit private health or educational entities to establish, enhance and expand educational programs that result in the development of a competitive applicant pool of individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who desire to pursue health professions careers. The purpose of this grant program is to: 1) promote the recruitment of qualified individuals (students and adult/non-traditional students, including veterans) from disadvantaged backgrounds into health and allied health professions programs; 2) improve retention and matriculation rates by implementing tailored enrichment programs designed to address the academic and social needs of disadvantaged trainees; and 3) provide opportunities for community-based health professions training, emphasizing experiences in underserved communities. Applicants must develop and implement evidence-informed academic and social support activities and data systems that measure student improvements in grade point averages, retention and matriculation rates, standardized test scores, licensure exam scores and on-time graduation rates. HCOP provides a variety of academic and social supports to individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds through formal academic and research training, programming and student enhancement or support services. The HCOP recipients provide counseling and mentoring services to assist students in successfully completing their education and training. The program also exposes students to community-based health professions experiences in underserved communities. In addition, HCOP provides student stipends and financial planning resources to students as well as information about health care careers and training. Information related to financial planning resources may also be provided to parents/guardians of students interested in pursuing health careers.</Description>

Such entities may include agricultural businesses, agricultural cooperatives, producer networks, producer associations, community supported agriculture networks, community supported agriculture associations, and other agricultural business entities (for-profit groups); nonprofit corporations; public benefit corporations; economic development corporations; regional farmers&amp;#8217; market authorities; and local and tribal governments. Two types of project applications are accepted under LFPP&amp;#8212;planning grants and implementation grants. Applicants can apply for either but will receive only one type of grant in the same grant cycle. LFPP Planning Grants are used in the planning stages of establishing or expanding a local and regional food business enterprise. Activities can include but are not limited to market research, feasibility studies, and business planning. A minimum of $5,000 and a maximum of $25,000 will be awarded for any one proposal, and the grants must be completed within a 12 month period. LFPP Implementation Grants are used to establish a new local and regional food business enterprise, or to improve or expand an existing local or regional food business enterprise. Activities can include but are not limited to training and technical assistance for the business enterprise and/or for producers working with the business enterprise; outreach and marketing to buyers and consumers; and non-construction infrastructure improvements to business enterprise facilities or information technology systems. A minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $100,000 will be awarded for any one proposal, and the grants must be completed within a 24 month grant period.LFPP will host a webinar to introduce the grant on March 25.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages collaborative research applications on drug abuse and addiction that take advantage of special opportunities that exist outside the United States. Special opportunities include access to unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions in other countries that will speed scientific discovery. Projects should have relevance to the mission of NIDA and where feasible should address NIDAs international scientific priority areas(http://www.drugabuse.gov/international/research-priorities). While the priorities will change from year to year, in FY15 priority areas include: linkages between HIV/AIDS and drug abuse; prevention, initiation, and treatment of nicotine and tobacco use (especially among vulnerable populations such as children, adolescents, pregnant women, and those with co-morbid disorders); the neuroscience of marijuana and cannabinoids; and the effect of changes in laws and policies on marijuana and its impact. The NIH R03 activity code supports discrete, well-defined projects that realistically can be completed in two years and that require limited levels of funding. The R03 activity code supports different types of projects including pilot and feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and development of new research technology.</Description>

While PRM encourages activities that include host communities, because of PRM&amp;apos;s mandate to provide protection, assistance, and durable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM will consider funding only those projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50% refugees. Please note that projects that do not meet the protection/assistance gap(s) listed in the announcement will not be considered. </Description>

        <Description>This project is geared towards the management and reduction of the wildlife strikes to aircraft aboard NAS Patuxent River Complex, Maryland. The management program is designed to minimize aircraft and automobile exposure to potentially hazardous wildlife strikes at and around NAS Patuxent River Complex. NAS Patuxent River&amp;#8217;s Natural Resource staff manages areas adjacent to roadways and runways as not suitable deer habitat, therefore decreasing the risk of deer aircraft and deer auto strikes with aircraft. Knowing the exact movement patterns for several individual deer from various locations a percentage of the actual herd on the installation allows the correct management recommendations. </Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey seeks to cooperate with a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) for the purpose of improving methods to track annual change in areas of mountain pine beetle-infested forest areas in the western United States. Mountain pine beetle (MPB) is the most destructive forest insect of the western United States and Canada, where it occurs widely on a variety of pine species. The current MPB outbreak has impacted large expanses of lodgepole and ponderosa pine forests, changing their ability to act as carbon sinks, altering wildfire hazards, modifying local surface energy balance, altering hydrology, and changing regional climate. Although there is general knowledge, based on aerial surveillance, about the distribution of MPB and it&amp;#65533;s change over time for the western US, a considerable amount of uncertainty exists in such knowledge. Therefore, it is desirable to develop and improve monitoring techniques that can accurately and effectively track spatio-temporal patterns of MPB based on time-series remotely sensed data to assess the long-term impacts by this type of disturbance in forests.</Description>

        <CloseDateExplanation>Applications Available: March 17, 2015.      Note: On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately. One provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name was changed to the Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR).   For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools. NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer review. We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants.      Date of Pre-Application Meeting: April 7, 2015. Date of Pre-Application Meeting: Interested parties are invited to participate in a pre-application meeting and to receive information and technical assistance through individual consultation with NIDILRR staff.

        <Description>The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan announces an open competition for an assistance award through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a cooperative agreement to implement a two-week training program in the U.S. for up to twenty junior Afghan diplomats, (henceforth &amp;#8220;the participants&amp;#8221;) to take place no later than November 2015. The program will be one phase of a joint U.S.-Chinese training program for Afghan diplomats. The second phase may be sponsored by the Government of China and may take place in Beijing subsequent to the activities funded by this cooperative agreement. To this end, twenty Afghan diplomats will participate in a two-week diplomacy training program in the U.S., centered in Washington, D.C., but possibly including some days in a second U.S. city. Since this is part of a cooperative effort between the U.S. and China to build capacity in the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a visit to the Chinese Embassy in Washington should be built into the program and Chinese diplomats should be invited to the opening and/or final sessions. The program format will consist of presentations, discussions, practical exercises and role-plays at a conference-style facility in the Washington, D.C. area suitable for a group of this size and offering space for concurrent, small group activities. Competitive proposals will emphasize the development of the skills professional diplomats must master in their careers. Also included in the program will be site visits to the Department of State and other U.S. government agencies, the Embassies of Afghanistan and China, and other foreign policy stakeholders. Cultural and social events on certain weekday evenings and the weekend between the two training weeks are desirable supplements. The program schedule should also include participation in a social service activity alongside American volunteers.</Description>

        <Description>This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeks opportunities to co-create, co-design, co-invest, and collaborate in the research, development, piloting, testing, and scaling of innovative, practical and cost-effective activities in the general area of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA). The focus of this BAA is to identify innovative thinking, best practices and promising programs that will provide cost effective and practical options to respond to climate and weather related impacts on small holder farmer-based food and agriculture systems in low income countries. In many cases, such options and practices may provide a &amp;#8220;double or triple win&amp;#8221; by also reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving agriculture income and productivity. Any opportunities for funding and partnering will be issued as Addenda to this BAA. In Addendum Number 01 to the Climate Smart Agriculture BAA, USAID seeks knowledge and solutions to the current problem of limited levels of private sector engagement and investment in Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices and technologies. The main focus of this work is to help smallholder-based food and agriculture systems in low-income countries adapt to climate and weather change impacts. The countries supported by the USG Feed the Future Initiative are the primary geographic focus. Collaboration opportunities that align with USAID&amp;#8217;s focus value chains in the Feed the Future countries are particularly encouraged. More information on the Feed the Future Initiative and FTF focus and aligned countries can be found at www.feedthefuture.org. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#65533;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AC00065 Project Title Historically Black Colleges &amp;amp; Universities Internship Workshops Recipient Greening Youth Foundation Principle Investigator / Program Manager Angelou Ezeilo Total Anticipated Award Amount $450,000.00 Cost Share 150,090.00 New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement P15AC00020 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 3/31/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 3/31/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; 16 USC 1723 CFDA # and Title 15.931 Youth Conservation Activities Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW The Historically Black Colleges &amp;amp; Universities Initiative (HBCUI) Program is a program initiated by the Washington Office of the NPS in conjunction with GYF. It was developed to link college students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU&amp;#65533;s) to NPS sites and units that have a focus on the African American Experience and Culture. Some of the objectives of the program are: &amp;#65533; To encourage a better understanding and appreciation of the important role African Americans played in the development and progress of the United States, and share these experiences with their communities. &amp;#65533; To expose college students in various fields to the careers in the NPS, and ultimately guide them towards careers in conservation. &amp;#65533; To assist NPS in improving their demographics with regard to youth and diversity numbers. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. Project Description: The HBCU Internship Program is designed to link college students attending HBCU&amp;#65533;s to NPS sites and units with a focus on the African American Experience and Culture. For the HBCUI program will be significantly expended in FY 2015. NPS funding for the program is increased to $450,000. The number of interns that will participate in the program will increase to 42. Significant changes in the HBCUI Program for FY 2015 include: &amp;#65533; The program will include all the African American Experience Foundation (AAEF) sites, as seen from the list below. &amp;#65533; HBCUI Project Management will be extended to cover a longer duration before and after the internship period. Past experience has shown that there is a greater need to begin recruiting earlier to attract more quality candidates. Also, a considerable number of HBCUI interns are extended beyond the ten weeks or receive consideration for non-compete hiring opportunities after the internship, and management of the interns typically continues well into the fall months. Another reason for increasing project management is that due to the higher number of interns and the wider geographic coverage of the project, there will be a second HBCUI Area Manager for 12 weeks covering the internship period. As a result, there will be 3 HBCUI managers, who will all be qualifying `youth&amp;#65533;. This increase in project management will result in a higher quality internship for all participating interns. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Greening Youth Foundation agrees to: 1. To assist, promote, and stimulate public purpose such as education, job training, development of responsible citizenship, productive community involvement, furthering the understanding and appreciation of natural and cultural resources through the involvement of youth and young adults in care and enhancement of public resources. 2. Continue the long standing efforts of the NPS to provide opportunities for public service, youth employment, minority youth development and training, and participation of young adults in accomplishing conservation related work. 3. Recruit and hire youth and young adults from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. 4. Manage and carry out administrative functions associated with the provision of services under this agreement. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: NPS agrees to: 1. To provide financial assistance in accordance with Article VI. 2. To provide general orientation to the NPS, park/site operations and its mission to participants. 3. To provide NPS representatives on site to assist with specifics of the project as needed. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#65533; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#65533; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#65533; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#65533; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites Research Project Grant (R01) applications to develop novel in vivo imaging technologies using molecular probes that target pathways or cells involved in the pathobiology of pulmonary diseases. The long-term goal of this program is to develop novel molecular imaging entities and approaches that facilitate early detection and diagnosis of lung disease, enable noninvasive monitoring of lung disease progression and prognosis, and accelerate progress of cell-specific drug delivery and therapies.The previous FOA (RFA-HL-12-036 - Phase 1) supported projects to develop and validate innovative novel imaging agents and approaches that included target selection, probe development and production, and initial characterization of the probe. Phase 2 of this initiative will support studies that advance translation of identified probes and associated imaging approaches from animal models into applicability for human lung diseases. Phase 2 studies must include work performed in vivo using appropriate animal models of lung diseaseand studies using human tissues and/or cells. Applications proposing Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies of novel probes and imaging approaches are encouraged. Applicants are not required to have been funded in Phase 1 (RFA-HL-12-036) in order to submit applications for Phase 2.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages collaborative research applications on drug abuse and addiction that take advantage of special opportunities that exist outside the United States. Special opportunities include access to unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions in other countries that will speed scientific discovery. Projects should have relevance to the mission of NIDA and where feasible should address NIDAs international scientific priority areas (http://www.drugabuse.gov/international/research-priorities). While the priorities will change from year to year, in FY15 priority areas include: linkages between HIV/AIDS and drug abuse; prevention, initiation, and treatment of nicotine and tobacco use (especially among vulnerable populations such as children, adolescents, pregnant women, and those with co-morbid disorders); the neuroscience of marijuana and cannabinoids; and the effect of changes in laws and policies on marijuana and its impact. The R21 activity code is intended to encourage exploratory and developmental research projects by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of these projects. These studies may involve considerable risk but may lead to a breakthrough in a particular area, or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or applications that could have a major impact on a field of biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research. Projects of limited cost or scope that use widely accepted approaches and methods within well-established fields are better suited for the R03 small grant activity code.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to continue the follow-up of the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) cohort through a cooperative agreement. TODAY was a multi-center controlled clinical trial examining the efficacy of three approaches to treat recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes in youth aged 10-17 years. TODAY demonstrated that combination therapy with metformin plus rosiglitazone sustained glycemic control longer than either metformin plus an intensive lifestyle program or metformin alone. TODAY study results also suggest that type 2 diabetes is more aggressive when it occurs at a young age. The primary purpose of this FOA is to continue follow-up of the TODAY cohort to define the long-term clinical course of youth-onset type 2 diabetes.</Description>

        <Description>The Circles of Support and Accountability initiative emerged in Canada in the 1990s as a community-based, restorative justice movement that &amp;#8220;focuses on the need to engage the community in the reintegration process.&amp;#8221; In FY 2012, the SMART Office selected two project sites, Durham, North Carolina and Multnomah County, Oregon, and a training and technical assistance provider to support its Promoting Evidence Integration in Sex Offender Management: Circles of Support and Accountability (COSA) program. COSA projects are now underway or in progress in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Vermont. The COSA model fills a gap in services for some offenders left by criminal justice policy; essentially, those at highest risk of re-offense who are being released at the end of their sentences without a formal process of aftercare. COSA programs were created, in part, to address the threat perceived by communities that sex offenders pose when they return from prison. COSA enlists volunteers from the community to aid in the management of sex offenders. COSA typically targets male offenders who have a long history of offending, failure in treatment, antisocial values and attitudes, are at high-risk for reoffending (for new sex or other offenses), and held until the end of their prison sentence and released with no probation or parole supervision. Each Circle consists of a Core Member (the sex offender) and four to six community volunteers. A COSA volunteer meets with the Core Member daily and the Circle meets once a week. The key to the program is &amp;#8220;a relationship scheme based on friendship and accountability for behavior.&amp;#8221; COSA programs have been initiated and implemented by faith-based organizations, community volunteer groups, and as an adjunct to criminal justice community corrections programs. The COSA model has an underlying philosophy of restorative justice, in that it focuses on the needs of the victim and offender and involves the community in resolving issues. In this respect, COSA appears to be a natural fit for Indian Country. The First Nations in Canada and American Indians/Alaska Natives in the United States have had a strong influence on the North American restorative justice movement. The holistic philosophy of the Nations and Tribes involves a circle of justice that connects everyone involved with a problem or conflict, with everyone focused on a common center. In approaching a conflict or problem, all contributing factors are examined to address the underlying issues that precipitated the problem, and everyone affected by a problem participates in the process. In this process, justice also means setting an action plan for how the wrongdoer and victim can proceed on a path of healing, both spiritual and physical. An example of restorative justice that is both process and community centered&amp;#8212;and one resembling COSA programs in non-tribal/native communities&amp;#8212;is the Community Holistic Circle Healing (CHCH) project of the Hollow Water First Nation in Manitoba, Canada. CHCH staff are involved in the entire healing process; a process that is based on traditional teachings that create the foundation for the Circle. CHCH uses a contract that requires everyone affected by a crime to take responsibility for keeping a compassionate yet watchful eye on the offender, be supportive of the victim, and bring about changes to their relationships that will minimize the risk of future abuse. The premise behind this healing and accountability process is that every individual is a whole being, not just a victim, an abuser, or a bystander with no role to play. This response encourages the entire community affected by the abuse to be involved in changing the norms that allow and even promote abuse. The spiritual core of CHCH requires the involvement of victims, abusers and their respective families, and focuses on the community affected by the abuse. A successful CHCH helps to reestablish a spiritual, physical, emotional and intellectual balance that benefits the impacted individuals and addresses the needs of the entire community. A ten-year evaluation of the CHCH program captured its success in preventing sex offender recidivism. Of the 107 individuals who had participated in the program, only two reoffended. Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables The purpose of this project is to support the development of COSA-type initiatives in tribal communities. That is, a holistic healing program working in tandem with professionals consisting of tribal community volunteers, a sex offender (Core Member), and trained professionals (Outer Circle). Additionally, there is a need to provide descriptive information for those Indian Country sites providing services to sex offenders based on the COSA model. This information will improve the field&amp;#8217;s understanding of the programmatic, service, and policy needs of sex offenders when released in to tribal communities. Tribal jurisdictions may apply and must agree to work with a SMART Office designated technical assistance provider to ensure adaptation of the COSA model to the specific tribal community, implementation fidelity, and proper training of community volunteers. Specific information on COSA volunteer training is available at http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/002/008/002008-3000-eng.shtml. Sites will be selected for SMART Office funding based upon their responses to the Selection Criteria listed on page 22 and their commitment to: &amp;#8226; Building knowledge and new evidence. &amp;#8226; Implementing a COSA program adapted to the tribal jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s traditions. &amp;#8226; Participating in an evaluation at a later date (subject to availability of funds). &amp;#8226; Collecting program data. &amp;#8226; Working collaboratively with the SMART Office and the COSA training and technical assistance provider. Project plans must include a monitoring and evaluation plan for information collection and analysis. Jurisdictions are encouraged to consider and include the following outcomes of interest in monitoring and evaluation plans: &amp;#8226; Descriptive information about the tribal community, including the justice process. &amp;#8226; Descriptive information about sex offenders in the jurisdiction, including those eligible for COSA. &amp;#8226; Descriptive information about offenders and community members participating in COSAs. &amp;#8226; Recidivism incidents (new charges for sexual, violent, and any criminal offenses, and returns to prison) and resolutions for offenders participating in the program. &amp;#8226; Changes in offender criminal behavior, measured as pro-criminal attitudes or antisocial behavior, drug and alcohol use, and participation in sex offender treatment, substance abuse and mental health services. &amp;#8226; Positive changes in offender behavior (i.e., pro-social behaviors and attitudes). &amp;#8226; Changes in the tribal community (including victims) as a result of program implementation (i.e., awareness of sexual offending behavior, healing processes, community involvement in the program, sexual violence prevention, and/or victim support). Program cost effectiveness. A report will be the final deliverable for this project. The report should contain, but not be limited to, descriptive information on the adaptations made to fit the cultural context of the tribal nation, number and types of volunteers trained, offender profiles (including demographics, risk/needs assessment information, treatment received, and a description of adjunct supervision), frequency of volunteer contacts with Core Members and Outer Circle professionals, a qualitative description of volunteer contacts, as well as any outcome information available (see above). </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FY 2015 competitive grant announcement is to select one provider to deliver a wide range of training and technical assistance (TTA) services to communities participating in the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) Program. These services include, but are not limited to, helping neighborhoods build cross-sector partnerships; implement effective data-driven or innovative place-based revitalization strategies; engage local residents as equal and important stakeholders; build and increase trust between communities and the police; and collaborate with research partners to collect, analyze, and aid the sites in ongoing use of data to enhance program management and to sustain their strategies, and other matters relevant to the purposes of the BCJI Program. BCJI sites will leverage the TTA solicited through this competitive grant announcement to plan and implement data-driven, cross-sector strategies to reduce crime and violence. BCJI TTA activities will be coordinated with other federal interagency work and TTA activities, and a limited portion of TTA will be provided to jurisdictions with a Promise Zones designation to support public safety priorities. The results of the BCJI site efforts will be shared widely to assist other communities with improving and enhancing their crime reduction efforts. In times of limited resources, local and tribal leaders need tools and information about crime trends in their jurisdiction to assess, plan, and implement the most effective use of criminal justice resources to address these issues. They also need a core foundation of resources and tools to support data-driven strategy development, community-driven capacity building for collaborative problem solving, and assistance to identify and implement evidence-based and innovative strategies to target drivers of crime. A multi-faceted approach like BCJI targets crime in the locations where it is most occurring and can have the biggest impact while also building the capacity of the community to deter future crime by addressing three of the social impacts most likely to impact crime: physical disorder; social economic status and resources, and the &amp;#8220;collective efficacy&amp;#8221; of the neighborhood. BCJI is a central component of the Administration&amp;#8217;s larger place-based programming efforts which includes the Promise Zones and Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI). These initiatives help local and tribal communities develop place-based, community-oriented strategies to change neighborhoods of distress into neighborhoods of opportunity. Through coordinated federal support, there are growing interagency efforts to align a comprehensive range of federal programs across several agencies, including Departments of Education (ED), DOJ, Health and Human Services (HHS), Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Agriculture (USDA), Interior, and Treasury to both build capacity and revitalize these communities.</Description>

        <Description>Health centers improve the health of the Nation&amp;#8217;s underserved communities and vulnerable populations by ensuring access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services. Health Center Program grants support a variety of community-based and patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations that serve an increasing number of the Nation&amp;#8217;s underserved. Individually, each health center plays an important role in the goal of ensuring access to services, and combined, they have had a critical impact on the health care status of medically underserved and vulnerable populations throughout the United States and its territories. The Health Center Program targets the Nation&amp;#8217;s neediest populations and geographic areas by currently funding approximately 1,300 health centers that operate over 9,000 service delivery sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In 2013, more than 21 million patients, including medically underserved and uninsured patients, received comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services through the Health Center Program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Health Center Program&amp;#8217;s Service Area Competition &amp;#8211; Additional Area (SAC-AA). The FOA details the SAC-AA eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors for organizations seeking a grant for operational support of an announced service area under the Health Center Program, including Community Health Center (CHC &amp;#8211; section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC &amp;#8211; section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH &amp;#8211; section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC &amp;#8211; section 330(i)). For the purposes of this document, the term &amp;#8220;health center&amp;#8221; refers to the diverse types of health centers (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and /or PHPC) supported under section 330 of the PHS Act, as amended.</Description>

        <Description>The BLM has worked with the Institute of Applied Ecology for over 10 years demographic monitoring to determine the effects of climate and cattle grazing on Snake River goldenweed, Pyrrocoma radiata. This species, formerly known as Haplopappus radiatus, is listed as endangered by the State of Oregon, as a Species of Concern with the USFWS, and is a BLM Sensitive Species. Pyrrocoma radiata is endemic to eastern Oregon and western Idaho. 93 P. radiata locations are recorded in the GeoBOB database of which 83 of the sites have not been visited in over 13 years. Furthermore, population size has been recorded for only 7 of these sites thus the current status of P. radiata is unknown. There are significant threats to the Snake River goldenweed which include precipitation changes, livestock grazing, construction of wind energy turbines, power line construction, and noxious weed encroachment. Additionally the results of increasing wildfires have converted the Snake River goldenweed&amp;apos;s habitat, sagebrush steppe, to annual grassland. It is unknown if the Snake River goldenweed will be able to persist under these altered habitat conditions. The objective of this project is to improve the management of Snake River goldenweed, Pyrrocoma radiata, currently listed as endangered by the State of Oregon, as a Species of Concern with the USFWS, and is a BLM Sensitive Species. This project is to determine the extent and population status of the species and to develop a Conservation Strategy and detailed management plan for maintaining viable populations of the species. Year one of this project will include re-locating and re-sampling of all ten monitoring plots for P. radiata. Monitoring results will be summarized in a report addressing species management options for improved protection, conservation, and preservation of the species. Additional surveys of at least 15 new sites per year will be done to document population size and threats currently affecting the Snake River goldenweed&amp;apos;s habitat such as livestock grazing, presence of invasive species, OHV impact, and fire effects. Continuing monitoring and surveying of habitat for previously undiscovered populations will be done. All visited populations will be GPSed to determine geographic extent of populations. GeoBOB sighting report forms will be completed for all populations.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research grants on the topic of Reduction of Tropical Cloud and Precipitation Biases in Global High Resolution Models under the Regional and Global Climate Modeling (RGCM) and Atmospheric System Research (ASR) programs. Simulation of climate in the tropics has improved considerably over the past decade; nevertheless global and regional climate models have biases in tropical precipitation and clouds. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to examine, and improve our understanding of tropical clouds and precipitation in uniform high or variable resolution global models, global cloud resolving models, and/or regional models, by improving the process representations in the context of tropical Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) campaigns (http://www.arm.gov/campaigns/table ) and/or data from the ARM Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) http://www.arm.gov/sites/twp fixed sites. The intent of this FOA is to reduce tropical biases of precipitation and clouds in global climate models by fostering interactions between atmospheric process and global modelers.</Description>

        <Description>Manufacturing is the use of energy, equipment, information, services, and capital to convert raw materials, components, and parts into goods that meet market expectations. As an economic sector, manufacturing generates 12 percent of U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs 12 million Americans. The DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy?s Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) makes research, development, and demonstration (RD&amp;amp;D) investments in advanced manufacturing process and materials technologies. These technologies are foundational, pervasive, and promise crosscutting industrial applications and impact in reducing industry?s energy footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as supporting the global competitiveness of clean energy products. By targeting the development of energy-related advanced manufacturing technology, AMO?s work can create completely new supply chains and stimulate significant economic growth and job creation. AMO?s Next Generation Electric Machines (NGEM) program is an RD&amp;amp;D effort leveraging recent technology advancements in power electronics and electric motors to develop a new generation of energy efficient, high power density, high speed, integrated MV drive systems for a wide variety of critical energy applications. Improvements to these systems can be realized through the application of key enabling technologies, such as wide bandgap devices, advanced magnetic materials, improved insulation materials, aggressive cooling techniques, high speed bearing designs, and improved conductors or superconducting materials. Through this development program, NGEM will facilitate a step-change that enables more efficient use of electricity, as well as reduced drive system size and weight, developing lasting capabilities for motor material development, design, and analysis that are cost-shared with industry stakeholders. This specific Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is focused on developing MV integrated drive systems that leverage the benefits of state of the art power electronics (i.e., wide band gap devices) with energy efficient, high speed, direct drive, megawatt (MW) class electric motors for efficiency and power density improvements in three primary areas: (1) chemical and petroleum refining industries; (2) natural gas infrastructure; and (3) general industrial applications. These application areas represent a significant number of motor installations, a large amount of electrical energy consumption, and significant opportunities for U.S. technology and manufacturing competitiveness. EERE will conduct one informational webinar during the FOA process. It will be held after the initial FOA release but before the due date for Concept Papers. The purpose of this webinar is to give applicants a chance to ask questions about the FOA process generally. Attendance is not mandatory and will not positively or negatively impact the overall review of any Applicant submissions. As the webinar will be open to all Applicants who wish to participate, Applicants should refrain from asking questions or communicating information that would reveal confidential and/or proprietary information specific to their project. Specific dates for the webinar can be found on the cover page of the FOA. Here is information on how to register for the webinar: The Next Generation Electric Machines: Megawatt Class Motors FOA Informational Webinar will be held Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. EDT. Standard application questions regarding the EERE Office and FOA procedures will be discussed. The eXCHANGE system is currently designed to enforce hard deadlines for Concept Paper and Full Application submissions. The APPLY and SUBMIT buttons automatically disable at the defined submission deadlines. The intention of this design is to consistently enforce a standard deadline for all applicants. Applicants that experience issues with submissions PRIOR to the FOA Deadline: In the event that an Applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission, the Applicant should contact the eXCHANGE helpdesk for assistance (EERE-ExchangeSupport@hq.doe.gov). </Description>

        <Description>The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting proposals from a potential recipient to collaboratively develop a Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) for Haleakala National Park, located on the island of Maui in the state of Hawaii. The NRCA will provide an evaluation of current ecological conditions and discernible trends for natural resources and ecosystem processes, identify critical data and knowledge gaps, and highlight existing and potential threats to natural resources and ecosystems within the park. This assessment will rely on existing scientific data from multiple sources, as well as the best professional judgment of an interdisciplinary team of specialists (headed by the recipient principal investigator), to evaluate current status and suggest future conditions for natural resources in the park. The assessment will focus on a subset of terrestrial, aquatic and marine resources and processes selected by the park for particular attention. Products include a final report in a specified format, which includes relevant graphs, charts and maps, as well as separate GIS products and associated metadata.</Description>

Proposed research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale that holds translational potential to improve ALS treatment and/or advance a novel treatment modality. Projects that focus primarily on investigating the pathophysiology of ALS are outside the scope of this mechanism.New for FY15: In addition to hypothesis-based ideas aimed at drug or treatment discovery, the FY15 Therapeutic Idea Award will support the following topics, which were previously supported under the ALSRP Therapeutic Development Award mechanism.&amp;#61623; Development, validation, and application of high-throughput screens to define targets with therapeutic potential or to identify lead agent candidates for ALS treatment;&amp;#61623; Development, modification, and/or validation of preclinical model systems in order to assess lead compounds and potential therapeutics by pharmacological and/or pharmacokinetic testing. Such models would also serve as improved tools for the ALS research community.Applicants contemplating development of products beyond drug or treatment discovery should apply to the ALSRP Therapeutic Development Award, which supports advanced preclinical development activities.Innovation and impact are the most important aspects of the Therapeutic Idea Award. Applications that demonstrate exceptional scientific merit but lack innovation and highDoD FY15 ALSRP Therapeutic Idea Award 4potential impact do not meet the intent of the Therapeutic Idea Award. Presentation of preliminary data is not consistent with the intent of the Therapeutic Idea Award mechanism. While the inclusion of preliminary data is not prohibited, the strength of the application should not rely on preliminary data, but on the innovative idea and the potential impact it will provide.</Description>

        <Description>The Therapeutic Development Award supports the preclinical development of therapeutic leads for ALS. The proposed studies are expected to be empirical in nature and product-driven.New for FY15: The maximum period of performance is 2 years. The Therapeutic Development Award no longer supports development of model or screening systems or the conduct of screening. Those activities are now supported under the ALSRP FY15 Therapeutic Idea Award mechanism.Applications must clearly identify a lead molecule, or limited group of lead molecules, possessing demonstrated biological activity on a pathway relevant to ALS disease onset and/or progression.The FY15 Therapeutic Development Award supports a wide range of post-discovery development activities ranging from post-discovery validation right up to IND submission. Supported activities must begin with lead compounds in hand and can include (1) secondary validation of leads obtained from screening or by other means to demonstrate target selectivity and mechanism of action, (2) optimization of potency and pharmacological properties and development of structure-activity maps via synthesis and testing of derivatives and sister compounds, (3) studies of formulation and stability, and/or (4) development of GMP production methods, (5) collection of data needed for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Investigational New Drug (IND) applications to include compound characterization, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) studies, and dose/response and toxicology studies.Validation of existing biomarkers and development of them as markers for mechanism-specific drug activity and/or clinical progression, in parallel with therapeutic lead validation and development, is also of interest.</Description>

        <Description>The Navy is moving towards deploying large, complex systems that are beyond centralized control. A canonical example of such a system is a fleet of unmanned vehicles with limited communications operating in a dynamic environment. Important characteristics of these systems are that 1) they are decentralized (i.e., system components can take independent actions), and 2) the environment in which the system operates is not necessarily known a priori, and is revealed over time; that is, the data defining the system and its environment is online (in the sense of online algorithms). Objective and Areas of Interest: The objective of this topic is to develop scientific principles and algorithms for solving decentralized, online optimization problems. To achieve this, first, solid mathematical frameworks need to be proposed and put into place so that various algorithmic strategies can be developed, analyzed, and compared. Second, canonical models need to be defined. These models should capture the fundamental difficulties associated with decentralized, online optimization. The aim in defining a few, simple canonical models is not to include all possible real-world complexities, but rather create a set of models whose rigorous treatment will drive design and analysis principles. Third, promising algorithmic strategies need to be identified and developed. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals for this Basic Research Challenge Program. This program supports basic science and/or engineering research within academia and industry. The program focuses on stimulating new, high-risk basic research projects. ONR will consider awards to single investigators, but preference is for collaborative groups that have a history of innovative research in the mathematical and computational sciences. Applicants shall NOT apply under this Special Notice. Applicants shall apply using the Application Instructions and Package under ONRBAA12-001.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Office of Inspector General estimates that Medicare loses billions of dollars each year due to errors, fraud, and abuse. These losses are due, to a considerable extent, to the many ways in which the funds are disbursed as well as to the sheer magnitude of health care expenditures. Both factors increase the probability of errors while opening wider opportunities for fraud and abuse. While the vast majority of health care providers are honest, those operating unscrupulously, intent on obtaining vital health care dollars illegally, have done so based on the perception that the risks of detection have lessened over the years. Beginning in 1997, the AoA established twelve local demonstration projects designed to recruit and train retired professionals, such as doctors, nurses, teachers, lawyers, accountants, and others to identify and report error, fraud, and abuse. Implemented through the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriation Act of 1997 (Public Law 104-208), Senate Report 104-368 noted that &amp;#147;senior citizens are our best front line defense against these losses, but they often don&amp;#146;t have the information and experience needed&amp;#148; to recognize and accurately report cases of error, fraud, and abuse. The Report further noted that &amp;#147;thousands of retired accountants, health professionals, investigators, teachers, and others &amp;#133; with appropriate training could serve as volunteer expert resources and educators for seniors in their communities.&amp;#148; Accordingly, these projects have worked to test different models designed to train retirees in local communities to serve as both volunteer resources and educators for other Medicare beneficiaries, and to build and strengthen community coalitions of older Americans and service providers. In 2011, the SMP Program will include an estimated 54 project grants in all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. SMP projects have made great progress in recruiting and training retired professionals and other senior citizens on Medicare error, fraud and abuse. These volunteers work in their communities, senior centers and elsewhere to educate Medicare beneficiaries, family members, and caregivers to actively protect themselves against fraudulent, wasteful and abusive health care practices by reviewing their Medicare benefit statements and reporting suspected errors. SMP projects actively work to disseminate SMP fraud prevention and identification Information through the media, outreach campaigns, community events and many other means. Through these efforts, beneficiaries contact the projects with inquiries and complaints regarding Medicare, Medicaid and other health care or related consumer issues. Another key role of the SMP project is to address such inquiries and complaints, either by resolving matters directly or by referrals to appropriate entities. SMP projects refer numerous beneficiary complaints to state and national fraud control /consumer protection entities, including Medicare contractors, state Medicaid fraud control units, state attorneys general, the OIG, and the Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Services (CMS). Capturing SMP program activity data, to include tracking and reporting of beneficiary complaints, referrals, savings and other outcomes in the SMART FACTS system is also a key function of the SMP project. The AoA also receives Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) funding as authorized by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. The HCFAC funds, which are received from the Medicare Trust Fund, are used to support infrastructure, technical assistance, and other SMP program support and capacity-building activities designed to enhance program effectiveness. The National Consumer Protection Technical Resource Center (the Center), an AoA grantee, provides training and technical support including mentoring of new projects, disseminating best practices and innovations, technical assistance, training and support of SMP project implementation and effective use of AoA&amp;#146;s SMART FACTS management tracking and reporting system. In addition, HCFAC funding supports a National Hispanic SMP project focused on targeted outreach to Hispanic beneficiaries, their families and caregivers. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for Countermeasures Against Chemical Threats (CounterACT) Research Centers of Excellence (U54s). The mission of the CounterACT program is to foster and support research and development of new and improved therapeutics for chemical threats (see www.ninds.nih.gov/counteract). Chemical threats are toxic chemicals that could be used in a terrorist attack or accidentally released from industrial production, storage or shipping. They include traditional chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, and pesticides.The scope of the research includes target and candidate identification and characterization, through candidate optimization and demonstration of in vivo efficacy, through Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies required for advanced development. The Centers will contain at least three research projects supported by administrative and scientific cores, and a research education core.Each research project must include milestones that create discrete go or no-go decision points in a progressive translational study plan. </Description>

        <Description>Dr. Daniel Stephens of Stephens Consulting has been studying and monitoring Neotropical birds in the Douglas Creek riparian corridor for the past 20 years to provide long term population and demographic information on target land bird species. Having all of the necessary and appropriate certifications and permits required to legally capture migratory birds, Dr. Stephens has been banding birds in this area as part of the larger global effort known as Monitoring Avian Production and Survivorship (MAPS). Long term studies with continuous data collection in one site are vital for bird banding studies like the continent-wide MAPS study. Collected data is submitted to the Institute for Bird Populations following the MAPS Protocol with results being published in the journal &amp;quot;BIRD Populations: A journal of global avian demography and biogeography.&amp;quot; The objective of this program is to continue to study and monitor Neotropical birds in the Douglas Creek riparian corridor during the annual summer period of use. Data collected on species captured and unique identification will be entered into a global database monitored by the Institute for Bird Populations following the MAPS Protocol.</Description>

        <Description>The OMH mission is to improve the health of racial and ethnic minority populations through the development of health policies and programs that will help eliminate health disparities. Racial and ethnic minorities continue to lag behind other populations in many health outcomes. They are less likely to obtain preventive services, less likely to have access to quality health care, and more likely to suffer from serious illnesses. Health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities may be found in geographical hotspots, i.e. a geographical area or location with evidence of high prevalence of a disease or behaviors that put people at risk for acquiring that disease. Health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities are often linked to social, economic or environmental disadvantages, such as: lack of access to health care services; concentrated poverty; lack of access to quality education, economic and job opportunities; exposure to crime and violence; unsafe housing; and lack of access to healthy, affordable foods and affordable transportation options. These conditions are known as the social determinants of health. OMH programs, policies and practices address such factors, with the goal of affording everyone an opportunity to live a long, healthy and productive life, and to improve the overall quality of life for the nation as a whole. A core function of OMH is to establish and strengthen partnerships, networks, and coalitions. Strategic partnerships leverage individual and collective resources to increase resource effectiveness and efficiencies and produce mutually beneficial outcomes across multiple levels and multiple sectors. Such partnerships enable OMH to promote equity in policies and programs, to address social determinants of health and well-being, and to focus on systems-level interventions that address resources, infrastructure, leadership commitment and sustainability, coordination and collaboration, user-centered design (including integration of culturally and linguistically appropriate services), promotion of a diverse workforce, and collection and application of racial and ethnic data and scientific knowledge. The purpose of the State Partnership Initiative to Address Health Disparities is to demonstrate that partnerships in which (a) state offices of minority health/ health equity (or other state entity with a similar function) and state health agencies, or (b) tribes and tribal health agencies/organizations, play a significant role can efficiently and effectively improve health outcomes in geographical hotspots (in communities) and address health disparities that affect minorities and disadvantaged populations, and that this can be shown during the period of the grant. Applicants are welcome to partner with additional agencies if they so choose. This notice solicits applications for a State Partnership Initiative to Address Health Disparities that will meet the following requirements: (1) within three to six months following the award, produce a Health Disparities Profile on one to three Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicator (LHI) topics chosen by the applicant, for geographical hotspots (in the applicant&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s state or tribal community) selected by the applicant, using existing baseline measures; (2) within the project period, implement activities in the geographical hotspots chosen by the applicant, using evidence-based and/or promising practices designed to improve health outcomes and address health disparities for the one to three LHI topics selected by the applicant (using baseline data/measures from the Health Disparities Profile that will be tracked and reported on during the project period); and (3) by the fifth year of the grant, publish the results of the implementation project and/or produce scholarly articles comparing the Health Disparities Profile for the selected LHI topics baseline data to the outcomes/impact measures&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153; selected LHI topics. OMH expects successful applicants will be able to demonstrate improvements in health outcomes in the applicant&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s selected geographical hotspots, during the grant period, by addressing health disparities that affect minorities. OMH expects successful applicants will use existing state or tribal health agency data to develop a baseline measure for each of the one to three LHI topics identified in the proposal; implement evidence-based and/or promising practices to improve health outcomes and address health disparities within the project period; and present/publish the program findings. The baseline measure(s) must correspond only to the one to three LHI topics selected in the application, and not to any additional LHI topics.. The grantee will provide a baseline measure(s) for the LHI topics selected in the application in the form of a Health Disparities Profile that is user-friendly (e.g., using charts and graphs), by the sixth month from the award date. The grantee is expected to implement its plan to improve health outcomes and address health disparities in the identified LHI topics in geographical hotspots in communities (not at the state/regional level) selected by the applicant that are within the applicant&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s state or tribal community, over a five year period of time. And, in the last year of the grant, the grantees are expected to publicize their findings in articles, presentations, media, etc. This funding opportunity in the amount of approximately $3,000,000 will fund approximately 15 to 17 eligible grant applications from states or tribes, and will award applications ranging from $175,000 to $200,000 per year for up to five years. A state&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s grant application should include partnerships with significant roles for the state office of minority health/health equity (or other state entity with a similar function) and the state health agency. A tribe&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s grant application should include partnerships with significant roles for the tribal health agencies/organizations and the tribe. The applicant may also include additional partners, such as local governmental offices, community-based organizations or non-profit organizations. Different state/tribal-level agencies may submit separate grant applications meeting the requirements stated above, although geographical distribution of projects across the country will be considered in making the awards. Organizational CapabilitiesThe applicant must provide evidence that its organization has the capability to implement each of the project requirements: (1) develop a Health Disparities Profile covering one to three LHI topics; (2) implement a project in a community(ies) with a real possibility of improving health outcomes for the identified health disparities within the project period; and (3) publish materials and articles on the findings and outcome of the identified health disparities, particularly indicating the relation of the baseline measure from the Health Disparities Profile to the outcomes following the implementation of the project; including information about similar work performed by the applicant.</Description>

        <Description>The methyl bromide transition program addresses the immediate needs and the costs of transition that have resulted from the scheduled phase-out of the pesticide methyl bromide. Methyl bromide has been a pest and disease control tactic critical to pest management systems for decades for soilborne and postharvest pests. The program focuses on integrated commercial-scale research on methyl bromide alternatives and associated extension activity that will foster the adoption of these solutions. Projects should cover a broad range of new methodologies, technologies, systems, and strategies for controlling economically important pests for which methyl bromide has been the only effective pest control option. Research projects must address commodities with critical issues and include a focused economic analysis of the cost of implementing the transition on a commercial scale.</Description>

        <Description>Program Description A. Purpose: The Adaptive Sports Grant (ASG) Program&amp;#8217;s purpose is to provide grants to eligible adaptive sports entities to plan, develop, manage, and implement programs to provide adaptive sports activities for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces. Adaptive sports activities means: (1) instruction, participation, and competition in adaptive sports; (2) training and technical assistance to program administrators, coaches, recreation therapists, instructors, VA employees, and other appropriate individuals; and (3) coordination, Paralympic classification of athletes, athlete assessment, sport-specific training techniques, program development (including programs at the local level), sports equipment, supplies, program evaluation, and other activities related to the implementation and operation of the program. B. Funding Priorities: The overriding goal is to ensure that appropriate levels of resources are provided to eligible adaptive sports entities with the greatest capabilities to provide adaptive sports activities that meet the current needs and priorities for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces as described in the ASG Program goals and objectives and provides adaptive sports activities in geographic regions where VA has identified limited sports opportunities for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces as further described in V.A.2.(g) below. C. Approach: Grantees will be expected to leverage adaptive sports grant funds to provide adaptive sports activities for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces. In doing so, grantees are required to establish outreach programs including active liaison with VA, Department of Defense, State, local and tribal governments; and Veterans Services Organizations (VSOs), private agencies, and organizations as detailed under 77.11. Grantees may work through coordinated partnerships built either through formal agreements or the informal working relationships commonly found amongst adaptive sports entities, VSOs and other entities providing adaptive sport services for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces to be served by the grantee. As part of the application, under 77.5(a)(5), all applicants will provide letters of support from any partners which will deliver services that reflect the applicant&amp;#8217;s engagement in providing adaptive sports activities. Letters of partnership support should include details of the scope of activities and if applicable, scope of funding involved in the partnership. Letters of recommendation from individuals and entities that are not involved in delivery of adaptive sports services in the grant application do not qualify as letters of support from partners. Assistance in developing ongoing rehabilitative, therapeutic, and wholelife health adaptive sports opportunities for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces is a fundamental goal of the ASG Program. For planning purposes, the ASG Program is not intended to provide long-term adaptive sports opportunities for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces. The ASG program is administered annually and does not guarantee subsequent awards. D. Authority: Funding is authorized by 38 U.S.C. 521A, as amended by the VA Expiring Authorities Extension Act of 2013, Public Law 113-59. VA implements the ASG Program by regulation in 38 CFR Part 77. Funds made available under this NOFA are subject to the requirements of the aforementioned regulations and other applicable laws and regulations. E. Requirements for the Use of Adaptive Sports Programs Grant Funds: The grantee&amp;#8217;s request for funding must be consistent with the limitations and uses of adaptive sports program grant funds set forth in 38 CFR Part 77. Full information on the FY2015 Adaptive Sports Grant Program including the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), additional forms, and guidance are located at the VA Adaptive Sports Grant Web site at http://www.va.gov/adaptivesports/va_grant_program.asp.</Description>

        <Description>The Affordable Care Act, signed into law on March 23, 2010, established a new Health Insurance Marketplace (Marketplace), that has enabled millions of individuals to obtain and purchase affordable health coverage. The Affordable Care Act has created a streamlined system for helping people connect with the health coverage options that best meet their needs while maximizing electronic data exchanges and other technology to reduce the application burden. Some of the features of the Marketplace include: 1) the option for eligible individuals to apply for affordable health coverage programs (Medicaid, the Children&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions); and 2) enabling individuals and families to apply for coverage using a single streamlined application. The need for outreach efforts continues in order to ensure that the public, including minority populations, understand these health insurance options and receive the assistance they need to obtain coverage through the Marketplace as smoothly as possible. Since its enactment, the Affordable Care Act has reduced the number of uninsured and the overall costs of health care. However, racial and ethnic minority remain at disproportionate risk of still being uninsured. For the purpose of this announcement, &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#156;minority populations&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#157; are American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders, consistent with the Standards for Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity. As of 2011, nonelderly Hispanics had the highest uninsured rate, with nearly one in three lacking coverage (32%), followed by American Indians/Alaska Natives (27%), Blacks (21%), and Asians/Pacific Islanders (18%), all of whom are more likely than Whites (13%) to be uninsured.1 Since then, minority populations have significantly benefited from the Affordable Care Act&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s expansion of health coverage. As of June 2014, 1.7 million African Americans and 2.6 million Latinos (ages 18-64) gained health insurance coverage since the start of the Affordable Care Act initial open enrollment period in October 2013.2 Yet, racial and ethnic minority populations remain disproportionately uninsured and lack access to quality health services, often due to cultural and linguistic barriers.The actions under the PICC II Initiative will provide funding to successful applicants to educate various populations, including racial and ethnic minority populations and those that are economically and environmentally disadvantaged (see Appendix A), and to assist them with completion of the Marketplace&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s streamlined health insurance application to determine their eligibility to purchase a health insurance plan offered through the Marketplace or for Medicaid and the Children&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Services under the PICC II Initiative will not be denied to any person based on race, color, or national origin.Successful applicants will have established relationships with coalitions/partners and have a demonstrated track record of working with racial and ethnic minority populations including those that are economically and environmentally disadvantaged to develop and implement a strategy to educate eligible target population(s) about the Affordable Care Act, the Marketplace and the application process. Applicants in states in which the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM) does not operate may also apply for these funds. However, they must work with the State-based Marketplace (SBM) in their state to receive training and educational materials. Successful applicants in states in which the FFM operates must use materials developed by the Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) on the Affordable Care Act, the Marketplace, and the Marketplace application process to ensure that the information given to the targeted populations is correct. Overall outreach efforts and assistance offered in completing the application must be culturally and linguistically appropriate. The applicants that receive an award must assist any consumer seeking assistance, even if that consumer is not a member of the group they stated they expect to serve in their funded proposal.</Description>

        <Description>The mission of the National Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program (BREP) is to develop technological solutions and investigate changes in fishing practices designed to minimize bycatch of fish (including sponges, deep&amp;#8211;sea corals, and shallow (tropical) corals) and protected species (including marine mammals, sturgeon, seabirds, and sea turtles) as well as minimize mortality and injury of bycaught species (including post-release injury and mortality). Projects should produce outcomes that can directly influence management needs of federally managed living marine resources. For FY2015, NMFS anticipates that approximately $2,500,000 could be made available for projects that address bycatch research as identified in the Program Priority Section (I.B.1 - I.B.4). </Description>

        <Description>The intended outcome of this FOA is to advance efforts for a nationally integrated food safety system by assisting State manufactured food regulatory programs to achieve and maintain full conformance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS). The MFRPS are intended to ensure that State manufactured food regulatory programs develop and maintain best practices for a high-quality regulatory program. Also, the program standards are intended to enhance food safety by establishing a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of manufactured food regulatory programs in the United States. Conformance with these program standards will help Federal and State programs better direct their regulatory activities at reducing foodborne illness hazards in plants that manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods. In addition, State manufactured food regulatory programs that expect to achieve significant to full conformance with the MFRPS before Year 5 of the cooperative agreement may choose to develop and implement a Standard Enhancement Project (SEP). The SEP will further enhance the capacity of the State manufactured food regulatory program to protect public health and safeguard the food supply. </Description>

        <Description>The OCRP Ovarian Cancer Academy, which was initially created in FY09, is intended to be a unique, interactive virtual academy providing intensive mentoring, national networking, and a peer group for junior faculty. The overarching goal of the Ovarian Cancer Academy is to develop successful, highly productive ovarian cancer researchers in a collaborative research training environment. The Ovarian Cancer Academy is a virtual career development and research training platform that currently consists of 11 Early-Career Investigator/Designated Mentor pairs from different institutions and 1 Academy Dean; 3 additional Early-Career Investigator/Designated Mentor pairs and the new Academy Leadership (Dean and Assistant Dean) are pending awards. In addition, three to four Early-Career Investigators are expected to graduate from the Academy in the summer of 2015, but may remain associated with the Academy via the FY14 Ovarian Cancer Academy Collaborative Award. Information about the Academy is available in the FY12, FY13, and FY14 Ovarian Cancer Program Booklets at http://cdmrp.army.mil/ocrp/pbks/pbks.shtml. The Academy Leadership serves as a resource for the Early-Career Investigators and Mentors, assessing the progress of the Early-Career Investigators, and facilitating communication and collaboration among all of the Early-Career Investigators and Mentors, as well as with national research and advocacy communities.</Description>

        <Description>The OCRP Pilot Award supports conceptually innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will drive the field of ovarian cancer research forward. The proposed research must demonstrate a clear focus on ovarian cancer (e.g., using tissues, cell lines, datasets, or appropriate animal models, etc.). The proposed research should include a testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and serve as a catalyst to expand or modify current thinking about and/or approaches in ovarian cancer. Preliminary data are not required, but are allowed, since the goal of this award is to generate preliminary data. The strength of the application should be based on sound scientific rationale and logical reasoning. Clinical trials will not be supported by this award mechanism.</Description>

        <Description>This CESU solicitation is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to develop exactly dated chronologies from the shells of Serripes groenlandicus and Nuculana radiata as indicators of benthic production for comparisons with potential environmental drivers, including sea ice. The decline of Arctic sea ice is predicted to promote an ecosystem shift from benthic-dominated to pelagic-dominated communities on Arctic shelves, raising concern for species like walrus and eiders that feed on benthic organisms. Sea ice dynamics are thought to support a rich benthic ecosystem by promoting the export of surface primary production to the ocean floor. As sea ice extent diminishes, more prolonged open-water phytoplankton blooms and increased zooplankton grazing may increasingly route surface primary production to pelagic consumers. The pace of declining benthic production has been difficult to quantify, leaving resource managers with much uncertainty. To relate annually resolved growth increments in benthic bivalves with satellite derived sea ice records to develop a predictive relationship between sea ice and benthic production. Bivalves are a key prey item for both walrus and eiders. The relative contributions of sea ice algae and phytoplankton, the two major sources of surface primary production, will also be described for bivalves using stable isotope analysis. Changes in bivalve size will be converted to differences in caloric content available to predators. Combining these products with model projections of future sea ice cover will allow to predict the pace of community shifts, clarify the underlying mechanism, and provide an early warning system for DOI managed species that rely on benthic habitats.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center, Davie, Florida is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for genetic analyses of biological samples from threatened and endangered sea turtles. The sea turtle biological sample dataset is comprised skin (tissue) and blood samples from in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Caribbean. Previous studies including nest monitoring and mark-recapture provide preliminary information on population abundance, reproductive parameters and connectivity. Intensive sampling of multiple species and populations has resulted in a large number of biological samples. Analysis of these samples will allow us to reveal effective population sizes for these assemblages and connectivity among groups.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to enhance the NCI-supported early development of experimental cancer therapeutics by merging the Phase 2 clinical trials program with the Experimental Therapeutics Clinical Trials Network (ETCTN, funded through RFA-CA-13-006) that is currently focused on Phase 1 clinical trials. The FOA invites revision applications from ETCTN UM1 awardees to expand the scope of activities by adding capabilities to conduct Phase 2 clinical trials. The goal is to integrate Phase 2 infrastructure and expertise to create a unified network for an efficient and comprehensive conduct of early clinical trials. This integration of the Phase 2 capabilities into the new ETCTN structure will allow for more seamless advancement of experimental agents through early stages of development. Ultimately, the expected increased efficiency of clinical trial management is expected to accelerate the delivery of new cancer therapies to the public.</Description>

        <Description>The Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Case Registry (SUID-CR) is a surveillance system that compiles information on unexpected infant deaths from various data sources. States use the SUID-CR for surveillance, program planning, modifying public health practice and policy for state maternal and child health programs, public health and medicolegal evaluation, and reporting on Title V Performance Objectives for federally-funded Maternal Child Health programs. Module A will continue to support the work of the 9 states that have successfully implemented the SUID-CR pilot program through an existing FOA that ends Sept 30, 2015 (FOA DP12-1202). Module B will fund new states to implement the necessary components of a state-based SUID Case Registry and surveillance system including timely and complete review, data entry, quality control procedures, and reporting. Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one (or more) of the following performance goal(s) for the Division of Reproductive Health within the National Center for Chronic Disease prevention and Health Promotion. This program addresses the Division of Reproductive Health Priority Area of &amp;#8216;Infant Health: Improve fetal, newborn and infant health&amp;#8217; by reducing SUID through improved surveillance, and reduction of disparities. This program also addresses the Division&amp;#8217;s Strategic Area of Focus: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome/Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Prevention. In addition, this program is in alignment with the Division&amp;#8217;s QPR to increase the number of evidence-based findings available to inform the delivery of effective maternal/child health and reproductive health interventions. This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by CDC. If research is proposed, the application will not be reviewed.

        <Description>OVERVIEW The proposed agreement will fund important improvements and maintenance needs for operations at Millerton Lake State Recreation Area (MLSRA). Demolition, utility improvements and construction of Service Yard facilities will aid in better services and safer facilities for the visiting public and employees of MLSRA. Construction objectives include demolition of deteriorating and hazard buildings, Utility improvements, grade-work and ADA facilities, Service Building construction and construction of a Wash Pad for treatment of invasive Quagga Mussels. These objectives need to be met in order for the Recreation Area to adequately meet its planned improved operation for public use of the area. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT CDPR requests funding to provide for critical needs in facility and program support. CDPR has proposed facility improvements to the South Shore Maintenance Yard to replace aging infrastructure, meet compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) &amp;amp; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act for Accessible facilities Standards on Federal Land), and meet current health and safety standards. The funding will provide assistance in completing construction projects which will improve these facilities. The funds are designed to substantially complete 5 objectives in the South Shore Improvement project. The project will be managed and completed by CDPR with regular coordination and communication with Reclamation staff. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. Regular communication and reporting oversight will be coordinated with CDPR. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS Single Source Justification Description: Single source justification was used in this proposal because Millerton Lake State Recreation Area is operated through a Management Agreement between Reclamation and California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR). (Contract No. 12-LC-20-0152). That Agreement states that the &amp;#8220;Administration, Operation, Maintenance, and Development of Recreation uses and Facilities shall be managed by CDPR, for the term of the Agreement. CDPR operates and manages Reclamation land around Millerton Lake and adjacent to Friant Dam. All equipment and the Management structure necessary to operate MLSRA is provided on site by CDPR. CDPR has managed the Area for Reclamation since 1957, originally under Contract No. 14-06-200-6881. In April of 2010, Reclamation issued a Final Resource Management Plan (RMP)/Environmental Impact Statement. This document stated that &amp;#8216;Implementing the RMP management actions will be the primary responsibility of the managing partner&amp;#8221;. CDPR has been the Managing Partner since 1958 and has distinct and adequate background to continue in that capacity and to administer financial assistance when required. STATUTORY AUTHORITY The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is proposing to enter into this agreement on a sole source basis. This document, Notice of Intent, sets forth the justification: P.L. 89-72, Federal Water Project Recreation Act, July 9, 1965, Section 1, Section 3(b)(1), Section 3(c)(1). The following section, provided in full text, authorizes Reclamation to award this financial assistance agreement: P.L. 89-72, Federal Water Project Recreation Act, July 9, 1965. Section 1, Section 3(b)(1) and Section 3(c)(1). Sec. 1. Congressional policy&amp;#8212;It is the policy of the Congress and the intent of this Act that (a) in investigating and planning any Federal navigation, flood control, reclamation, hydroelectric, or multiple-purpose water resource project, full consideration shall be given to the opportunities, if any, which the project affords for outdoor recreation and for fish and wildlife enhancement and that, wherever any such project can reasonably serve either or both of these purposes consistently with the provisions of this Act, it shall be constructed, operated, and maintained accordingly: (b) planning with respect to the development of the recreation potential of any such project shall be based on the coordination of the recreational use of the project area with the use of existing and planned Federal, State, or local public recreation developments; and (c) project construction agencies shall encourage non-Federal public bodies to administer project land and water areas for recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement purposes and operate, maintain, and replace facilities provided for those purposes unless such areas or facilities are included or proposed for inclusion within a national recreation area, or are appropriate for administration by a Federal agency as a part of the national forest system, as part of the public lands classified for retention in Federal ownership, or in connection with an authorized Federal program for the conservation and development of fish and wildlife and Sec. 3 (b) (1) If non-Federal public-bodies execute an agreement after initial operation of the project (which agreement shall provide that the non-federal public bodies will administer project land and water areas for recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement or both pursuant to the plan for the development of the project approved by the head of the agency having administrative jurisdiction over it and will bear not less than one-half the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided for recreation, and will bear one-quarter of such costs for fish and wildlife enhancement, and not less than one-half the costs of planning studies, and the costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement attributable thereto) the remainder of the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be non-reimbursable. and Sec. 3(c) (1) Any recreation facility constructed under this Act may be expanded or modified if (A) the facility is inadequate to meet recreational demand: and (B) a non-Federal public body executes an agreement which provides that such public body- (i) will administer the expanded or modified facilities pursuant to a plan for development for the project that is approved by the agency with administrative jurisdiction over the project; and (ii) will bear not less then one-half of the planning and capital costs of such expansion or modification and no less than one-half of the costs of the operation, maintenance, and replacement attributable to the expansion of the facility. (2) The Federal share of the cost of expanding or modifying a recreational facility described in paragraph (1) may not exceed 50 percent of the total cost of expanding or modifying the facility. </Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for a 2-yr project to study Grass Carp spawning potential in the Sandusky River. Grass Carp is a non-native obligate herbivore that consumes primarily rooted and attached aquatic vegetation, but can consume algae, some terrestrial vegetation, and occasionally invertebrates. At high abundances Grass Carp can consume large percentages of aquatic vegetation, and because they have strong preferences for some species over others can alter species distributions and relative abundances. The potential for ecological damage in the Great Lakes is high if Grass Carp become established and produce large populations.</Description>

        <Description>Background: The Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council completed field surveys of over 130 culverts within the watershed. They used data from the field surveys to identify culverts that pose a barrier to fish passage according to the USFS/BLM coarse-screen filter, and to prioritize culverts for replacement across the entire watershed. Geographic Information Systems were used to prioritize culverts based on fish use, barrier severity, available upstream habitat, the presence of impassable culverts downstream, and culvert condition. The Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council received a grant which was used to generate engineering plans for the replacement of 7 high-priority culverts in the Lost Creek and Rattlesnake Creek basins to allow for the passage of juvenile and adult salmonids, and to identify appropriate sites for the addition of large wood structures to improve habitat conditions for fish in the streams where culverts will be replaced. Objectives: The objective of this agreement is to restore temporal and spatial connectivity within the Lost Creek Watershed.</Description>

Accordingly, the partnership will develop a new generation of natural and cultural resource conservation stewards The program is designed to inspire young adults and veterans (21-35 years old) from diverse backgrounds who are service focused to aspire for careers with the NPS through exposure to the many difference career and leadership developmental opportunities; and to ensure that the necessary training, career development and education for program participates is effective and supported. YMCA camping and youth programming is an active and life-changing youth development experience, part of the Social-Emotional, Cognitive, and Physical process that all youth uniquely experience from birth to career. A successful development process fulfills children and teens&amp;apos; innate need to be loved, spiritually grounded, educated, competent, and healthy. This is supported at camps every day by the intentional efforts of individuals who through motivation, active engagement, enriching activities, and healthy relationships foster the skills needed for successful living. The impact that day camps have on youth development is important and with lasting experiences. In typical YMCA camp programs, youth under 16 years old are camp program participants, while youth 16-18 years old may be participating in leadership development programs or counseling training programs. Most staff at YMCA camps will be 18 years or older.

        <Description>The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative targets the most significant environmental problems in the Great Lakes ecosystem by funding and implementing federal projects that address these problems. One goal is to improve habitat and wildlife protection and restoration. Using appropriations from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Partners for Fish and Wildlife (PFW) Program anticipates funding wetland and associated upland habitat restoration and enhancement projects for conservation of native Great Lakes fish and wildlife populations, particularly migratory birds. Restoration projects will be completed on privately owned (non-federal/non-state) lands. Emphasis will be placed on, but not limited to, completing projects within the watersheds of Great Lakes Areas of Concern. The PFW Program is not a traditional grants program; it is a direct federal assistance program. The PFW Program does not solicit projects through a request for proposals. Instead, projects are developed in collaboration and with substantial involvement from PFW field biologists. PFW biologists from eight Great Lakes states work directly with landowners to plan and implement projects based on priorities and geographic focus areas identified in a regional strategic plan. Substantial involvement on the part of the Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the activities to be funded. In particular, the Service will be responsible for the following: PFW biologists provide direct technical assistance to landowners to identify, design and implement voluntary habitat improvement projects, such as wetland restoration, or grassland establishment, on private lands. For more information, contact the local PFW Program office. For office contact information please visit: http://www.fws.gov/partners/contactUs.html.</Description>

        <Description>The CDC&amp;apos;s Division for Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) is focused on improving the health among immigrants and refugees through public health partnerships, science, and response. Every year, approximately 70,000 refugees and 400,000 immigrants resettle to the U.S. from overseas. Refugees are particularly vulnerable populations, marginalized from public health surveillance, preventive treatment and health care in their home countries and countries of temporary asylum. They have complex health care issues, such as low baseline vaccination rates and high rates of infectious diseases,including tuberculosis, malaria, and intestinal parasites.DGMQ is looking for new approaches to reach out to these populations to study and improve healthcare needs of refugee and immigrant populations. Refugees are particularly vulnerable populations, marginalized from public health surveillance, preventive treatment and health care in their home countries and countries of temporary asylum. The complexion of refugee populations are dynamic and change over time. Reporting of health conditions in refugees and immigrants reported after arrival in the U.S. is limited to the reportable conditions specified by state and federal requirements. The identification of these conditions as belonging to refugees or immigrants is not reported. Consequently, there is little data to evaluate the effectiveness and quality of how the refugee and immigrant populations are examined pre-arrival and post arrival for follow up. This funding opportunity will help create Centers of Excellence in refugee and/or immigrant health. These centers will provide expertise in the diverse area of dealing with this population and will build upon existing infrastructure and will collaborate with partners focusing on these vulnerable populations. </Description>

        <Description>Background: Counts of sage-grouse (primarily males) attending leks provides a measure of population trend over time and serves as the basis for making annual minimum population estimates. On average, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) with assistance from Oregon BLM annually surveys 36 percent of 733 known lek complexes in Oregon. Leks in remote areas or with other access issues are under-surveyed. The ODFW has identified the need to monitor sage-grouse population trends and to develop a more efficient method for estimating population size, especially for regions where only a subsample of leks can be monitored (2011 Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Assessment and Strategy for Oregon). More complete and accurate population data will contribute to improved habitat management for sage-grouse in eastern Oregon. Objectives: The recipient and BLM will collaborate to: Survey a statistically valid sample of leks/complexes to achieve a minimum annual survey of two trend leks/complexes per stratum per Oregon PAC (Priority Area for Conservation), Evaluate and incorporate where appropriate new survey methodology (e.g., transect, infrared surveys) with current sage-grouse data, Annually assess the BLM&amp;apos;s adaptive management triggers for sage-grouse population. </Description>

Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. The overall mission of the NPS Academy Spring Break Program is to Support the Secretary of Interior 21st Century Youth Conservation Corp Initiative which strives to energize youth involvement in public lands and create informed citizens and stewards of those lands. It is designed to get young people to aspire for careers in the National Park Service while diversifying the overall workforce. While including college aged students 18-25 in the program, we are ensuring that we provide for the necessary training, career development and education of young people with a keen interest in the National Park Service. The purpose of the Academies is to provide young adults from diverse backgrounds with an introduction to the National Park Service and the various employment opportunities within the service. The program will begin to build a pathway for students which will lead them to a career in natural or cultural conservation and preservation and will assist in creating the next generation of stewards. Students will then be assisted in securing relevant summer employment in participating parks throughout the Service. A week long Spring Break Orientation Academy will be held in each of four Regions: Intermountain Region &amp;#65533; Grand Teton Host Park Southeast Region &amp;#65533; Great Smoky Mountains Host Park Northeast Region &amp;#65533; National Parks of New York Harbor Host Park Alaska &amp;#65533; Kenai Fjords Host Park The Washington Office, Youth Programs Division will provide overall coordination of the program. WASO Youth Programs will provide funding for the Academy Orientation week. Project funding will total $342,411. Ten to Twenty Four college aged students will be recruited to participate in each regional Spring Break Orientation Program. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT SCA agrees to: 1. To assist, promote, and stimulate public purpose such as education, job training, development of responsible citizenship, productive community involvement, furthering the understanding and appreciation of natural and cultural resources through the involvement of youth and young adults in care and enhancement of public resources. 2. Continue the long standing efforts of the NPS to provide opportunities for public service, youth employment, minority youth development and training, and participation of young adults in accomplishing conservation related work. 3. Recruit and hire youth and young adults from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. 4. Manage and carry out administrative functions associated with the provision of services under this agreement. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: NPS agrees to: 1. To provide financial assistance in accordance with Article VI. 2.

        <Description>The primary objective of original RFA-FD-14-011 (subtopic 2) is to develop pharmacometric modeling and simulation tools for generic drug substitutability evaluation and post marketing risk assessment. The goal is to develop pharmacometic approaches (including clinical trial simulation and clinical use/substitution simulation) that will aid OGD in the evaluation of post-market risk and the interpretation of post-market adverse event reports or product substitution complaints. The scope of the awarded study is being expanded to risk-based methodology on generic equivalents of the reference list drugs (RLDs) that may be most susceptible to &amp;#8220;with cause&amp;#8221; switching issues (e.g., modified release oral dosage forms&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;patient perception&amp;#8221; of switching issues where differences in efficacy or safety can be readily perceived in clinical practice (e.g., anticoagulants). The risk-based methodology will be applied to predict which generic product is most likely to encounter switching issues, and least likely to demonstrate post-marketing bioinequivalence. </Description>

        <Description> no later than 10 business days before the proposal due date so that NASA will have sufficient time to respond. Only accredited American Indian and Alaskan Native Serving Institutions in the United States are eligible to apply for this NASA Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN). Proposers to this CAN are required to have the following, no later than the due date: 1) a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, 2) a valid registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) [formerly known as the Central Contractor Registry (CCR)], 3) a valid Commercial And Government Entity (CAGE) Code, 4) a valid registration with NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) (this also applies to any entities proposed for sub-awards or subcontracts.) Consult Appendix M Section 3 for more eligibility information. NASA&amp;apos;s Office of Education&amp;apos;s mission is to advance high quality STEM education. Through this solicitation, NASA is strengthening involvement with higher education institutions to ensure that NASA can meet future workforce needs in STEM fields. Participation in NASA projects and research stimulates increasing numbers of students to continue their studies at all levels of the higher education continuum and earn advanced degrees in these critical fields. NASA MUREP American Indian and Alaskan Native STEM Partnership (MAIANSP) goals: * Increase the level of STEM literacy and engagement of the American Indian and Alaskan Native secondary and postsecondary levels through the utilization of culturally relevant and responsive subject matter. * Create a diverse, highly skilled, and motivated future workforce in computer-related sciences. * Advance the understanding of how to effectively teach computer programming concepts to historically underrepresented and underserved populations. NASA MUREP American Indian/Alaskan Native STEM Partnership (MAIANSP) objectives: * Increase the number of historically underrepresented and underserved students who engage/graduate in computer science studies; * Improve the rates at which students, who historically have been underrepresented in NASA-related fields, are awarded undergraduate and graduate degrees at their respective universities in NASA-related fields; * Increase the diversity of the NASA STEM workforce; and * Strengthen two-year and four-year MSIs in their curricula in order to attract more students into STEM-based academic programs, retain them, and prepare them for success when they take the next steps in their education or in their careers. Every institution that intends to submit a proposal to this CAN, including the proposed prime award or any partner whether an informal education institution, other non-profit institutions, state and local Government agencies, and other organizations that will serve as sub-awardees or contractors, must be registered in NSPIRES. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the due date and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered 1) with Grants.gov and 2) with NSPIRES. Additional programmatic information for this CAN may develop before the proposal due date. If so, such information will be added as a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) or formal amendment to this CAN and posted on http://nspires.nasaprs.com . It is the proposer&amp;apos;s responsibility to regularly check NSPIRES for updates to this CAN. </Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Offender Reentry Program (ORP) grants. The purpose of this program is to expand and/or enhance substance use disorder treatment and related recovery and reentry services to sentenced substance-abusing adult offenders/ex-offenders who are returning to their families and community from incarceration in state and local facilities including prisons, jails, or detention centers (hereafter known as &amp;#8220;the population of focus&amp;#8221;). For the purpose of this RFA, sentenced substance-abusing adult offenders/ex-offenders are defined as persons 18 years of age or older (or adults as defined by your state or tribal law) under the jurisdiction of the criminal justice system who have been sentenced to incarceration as adults and who have a substance use and/or co-occurring mental disorders. If your state or tribe uses a different age range for adult offenders, you must document how the age of &amp;#8220;adults&amp;#8221; is defined in your state or tribal justice system. Applicants are expected to form stakeholder partnerships that will plan, develop and provide a transition from incarceration to community-based substance abuse treatment and related reentry services. Because reentry transition must begin in the correctional facility before release, limited funding may be used for certain activities in institutional correctional settings in addition to the expected community-based services. </Description>

The &amp;#8220;OTHER&amp;#8221; category in the budget detail has been included in the funding opportunity announcement. An additional change has been made in Section IV.2. Required Forms, Assurances and Certifications to note that &amp;#8220;Certification on Filing and Payment of Federal Taxes&amp;#8221; no longer applies to ACF applicants. Changes in the Executive Summary and Section I. Project Description have been made to remove the number of awards from the narrative of this funding opportunity announcement. Finally, a word was changed in Section I. Project Description. These 3-year grants will fund installation of model interventions developed under grants awarded through HHS-2013-ACF-ACYF-CA-0636, Planning Grants to Develop A Model Intervention for Youth/Young Adults With Child Welfare Involvement At-Risk of Homelessness. Planning grantees may apply for the second in this series of projects that are expected to build the capacity of child welfare systems to prevent homelessness among the most at-risk youth/young adults with child welfare involvement. During this Phase II, grantees will install and test the interventions developed during the planning grant period to determine if the interventions have been installed with fidelity and if the interventions are capable of producing the intended outcomes, with the goal of accessing readiness for moving to a rigorous evaluation of the most successful intervention model(s). At the end of this 3-year grant period (Phase II) pending the availability of funds, CB expects to fund a sub-set of the grantees to move to Phase III, a summative evaluation (rigorous outcome evaluation). </Description>

        <Description>The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the Department, or we), announces the availability of approximately $27 million in grant funds authorized by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and the Second Chance Act of 2007 for Training to Work 3 &amp;#8211; Adult Reentry (T2W3).This Training to Work 3 &amp;#8211; Adult Reentry (T2W3) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) provides the opportunity for organizations to develop and implement career pathways programs in demand sectors and occupations for men and women, including veterans, and people with disabilities, who are at least 18 years old and who are enrolled in work release programs (WRP). Additionally, grantees must provide a strategy to prioritize services to veterans that are in these WRPs. Career pathways are frameworks that help to define and map out a sequence of education, training and workforce skills training resulting in skilled workers that meet employers&amp;#8217; needs. Career pathways link and coordinate education and training services in ways that enable workers to attain necessary credentials and, ultimately, employment. T2W3 is aligned with the Department&amp;#8217;s goal to make our Federal employment and training programs more job-driven.Department of Labor Appropriations Act. </Description>

        <Description> This new, competitive FOA will expand the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities&amp;#8217; programs conducting birth defects surveillance with a focus on congenital heart defects (CHDs) among individuals of all ages. The National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Division of Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (DBDDD) seeks to fund collaborative projects to: 1) Category A: Build on existing infrastructure for population-based CHDs surveillance to (i) conduct longitudinal follow up of both adolescents and adults identified having a CHD, (ii) identify factors associated with optimal healthcare and improved outcomes, (iii) evaluate factors that impede appropriate transition from pediatric to adult care, (iv) expand surveillance activities to include the lifespan, if possible, and (v) develop pilot projects to translate public health best practices into action; and 2) Category B: Develop and implement innovative approaches for conducting population-based surveillance of CHDs in adolescents and adults, and if possible, across the lifespan, by linking existing data sources. Surveillance data will be used for descriptive epidemiology, to identify comorbidities, and examine healthcare utilization and referral to timely and appropriate services. CHDs are one of the most prevalent birth defects in the United States affecting about one percent of all births and are a leading cause of birth defect-associated infant mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs. However, most current efforts to conduct population-based surveillance of CHDs have focused on monitoring newborns, and little data exist on the prevalence and descriptive epidemiology of CHDs beyond early childhood in the United States. Improvements in treatment of CHDs and consequently in survival have resulted in many individuals, even those affected by a very severe CHD, living into adolescence and adulthood. Current estimates suggest there are over 2 million people living with a CHD in the United States, including over one million adults; about 12% of these affected adults have a severe CHD. Despite the public health burden, the lack of population-based surveillance for CHDs among individuals of all ages in the United States precludes reliable data on the actual prevalence, and the type and number of health services required to address the health needs of these individuals, costs of such health services, and longer term outcomes including comorbidities and survival of individuals living with CHDs. Given that many individuals with CHD are living into adolescence and adulthood, they will need to transition their care from pediatric to adult-centered care. In the absence of structured programs to guide this transition, there can be delayed or inappropriate care, improper timing of the transfer of care, and undue emotional and financial stress on the patients, their families, and the healthcare system. Without appropriate transition, patients may not stay in care and be lost to follow-up. There is a need for furthered understanding of transition of care issues and perceptions of need for specialty care. The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PL 111-148, Section 10411) authorized CDC to &amp;#8220;enhance and expand infrastructure to track the epidemiology of congenital heart disease and to organize such information into a nationally-representative, population-based surveillance system&amp;#8221; for the purpose of facilitating &amp;#8220;further research into the types of health services patients use and to identify possible areas for educational outreach and prevention.&amp;#8221; The FY12 budget states: &amp;#8220;Congenital Heart Disease.- The conferees are concerned that there is a lack of rigorous epidemiological and longitudinal data on individuals of all ages with congenital heart disease and has included funding to begin to compile this information. The conferees are particularly interested in information on prevalence, barriers to effective care, survival outcomes and neurocognitive outcomes.&amp;#8221; The FY14 Omnibus budget held agreement for language in Senate Report 113-71 expanding CHD work at CDC and states: &amp;#8220;Congenital Heart Defects [CHD].&amp;#8212;CHD continue to be the most common birth defect and leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. Even those who receive successful intervention will need lifelong, costly, specialized cardiac care. Estimates suggest there are over 2 million people alive today with CHDs. The Committee commends CDC for its increasing efforts to address the lifelong needs of this growing population, particularly in collaboration with other Federal agencies and private organizations. However, the Committee is concerned that there continues to be a lack of rigorous epidemiological and longitudinal data on individuals of all ages with CHD and includes funding to continue initial efforts to compile this information.&amp;#8221; The report language also provided guidance &amp;#8220;to collect and analyze nationally representative, population-based epidemiological and longitudinal data on infants, children, and adults, with the goal of improving estimates of CHD incidence, prevalence, and disease burden, which can be used to better assess the public health impact of this condition.&amp;#8221; In FY12, CDC funded 3 grantees under FOA #DD12-1207 to pilot innovative methods of conducting population-based surveillance of adolescents and adults with CHDs by linking available existing data sources. Products developed under FOA #DD12-1207 include a common case definition, core variable set, and an Access database for data transmission to CDC. These products will be the minimum surveillance requirements for both categories A and B applicants. Refer to the www.cdc.gov/ncbddd website to view these documents. </Description>

        <Description>Complete information on RFI DE-FOA-0001328, Risk and Uncertainty Management in Geothermal Exploration, including the RFI document, can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/ The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is seeking information on risk quantification and management in geothermal exploration, especially as it pertains to decision making in late stage exploration activities such as drilling and advanced geophysical surveys. The purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues of cost and risk reduction related to geothermal exploration. This is due in part to the lack of response to the 2014 Play Fairway Analysis Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) by Geothermal Industry operators and developers. DOE&amp;apos;s Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) is specifically interested in information on current opportunities to develop, test, and validate risk and uncertainty models for prospects that have already been identified by industry. This is solely a request for information and not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. DOE will not respond to questions related to this RFI. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to playfairway@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm ET on 4/24/2015. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. </Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grants Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#65533;s current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species of greatest conservation need and take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project.</Description>

        <Description>This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to the Northeast Fire Protection Commission and is for notification purposes only. This is for limited financial support for emergency forestry action to cut down stage 1 and stage 2 pitch pine and other softwood species that are infested with southern pine beetle. There is a very narrow window in which to perform work, since the beetle will be emerging mid to late April. This portion of the suppression operation is to perform a thinning operation in order to protect the remaining softwood, and to reduce the escape potential to other areas not yet infected. Trees have been marked on two units, totaling about 3,200 trees to drop. Total area is about 40 acres, within two target areas of the refuge. Trees will be limbed and bucked once on the ground to a height no more than 18 inches above ground. Because of specific sawyer needs, training, skill level, and immediate need, this is treated very similar to an emergency wildland fire event, and a readily available workforce of 9 to 12 saws, plus support is needed to complete the dropping of these trees prior to the beetle emergining. Hence our reachout to the Northeast Forest Fire Protection Commission (Compact) to mobilize the necessary saw teams from the various state and Canadian providences with capacity to supply resources with vary short notice. Cooperate with one another for their mutual benefit and for the general benefit of the people of the United States of America and for future generations to enjoy the natural and cultural resources of the Fish and Wildlife Service. </Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Land Management has been working with the Institute of Applied Ecology (IAE) since 2001 to re-introduce and monitor the Pink Sand-verbena population at the North Spit. The population has been monitored every year since 1997 and has grown from 1,700 plants to over 350,000 plants currently. The Conservation Strategy for pink sand verbena was developed and employed by IAE in 2004. This research and work has been the foundation and guideline for the ongoing monitoring used by IAE that is crucial part of the conservation strategy for this species. Pink sand-verbena is a Species of Concern by the U.S. Fish &amp;amp; Wildlife Service (FWS), listed as Endangered by the State of Oregon, listed as threatened with extinction by the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center, and listed as a BLM sensitive species. BLM manual 6840 for Special Status Species provides guidance to conserve listed species and the ecosystems on which they depend. The primary threats to the species include competition from European beachgrass (Ammophila arenaria), habitat disturbance by off road vehicles (ORVs), and changes to the natural disturbance regime. Repeated seeding at Coos Bay North Spit since 1997 have resulted in the largest population of pink sand verbena in Oregon. Seed collected from the North Spit is currently the only seed source available in sufficient quantities for restoration efforts of the species throughout the State. Despite continued management treatments and seeding efforts at the North Spit, recent declines in the size and reproductive effort of plants at the site, and an increase in non-native species has been observed. Continued monitoring of this population combined with assessments of associated vegetation and substrate will allow for quantifying factors that influence successful re-introduction efforts for this dune species. At New River, 50,000-150,000 seeds have been dispersed within swales throughout the fore dune almost every year from 1997 to 2014. The population size has fluctuated dramatically among years and continued seeding, in conjunction with European beachgrass control efforts, is necessary in order to establish a viable population at this site. The New River Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) is an ideal site for continued re-introduction efforts of pink sand verbena as well as other native dune species as it is already host to a number of native dune species including (but not limited to), Abronia latifolia, Cammisonia cheiranthifolia, Glehnia littoralis and Lupinus littoralis. As recovery efforts for the species move forward, the New River ACEC will provide vital protected (and managed) habitat for Abronia umbellata ssp. breviflora midway through its historic range. The objective of this program is to continue to establish and monitor functioning populations of pink sand verbena at Coos Bay North Spit and New River ACEC. To collect seed at the North Spit population to enhance the North Spit and New River sites , and to expand the repopulation and conservation efforts to other sites.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that propose the development of therapeutic agents for disorders that fall under the mission of NIAAA.An identified candidate, having sufficient bioactivity, stability, manufacturability, bioavailability, in vivo efficacy and/or target engagement, and other favorable properties that are consistent with the desired clinical application, is required prior to application. The FOA supports Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies for the therapeutic candidate. At the end of the funding period, a successful project should have, at a minimum, an IND application submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The program supports early-phase clinical trials, although these are not required. </Description>

        <Description>Western lily (W. Lily, Lilium occidentale) is a federally listed Endangered plant species. In addition, it is listed as endangered by the State of Oregon and is also considered endangered or threatened throughout its range by the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center. This species is endangered due to reduction in population number, size, and connectivity, over-collection and illegal harvesting, habitat loss and damage, coastal development, cranberry production, and lack of fire in its preferred habitat. The 1998 final recovery plan for the endangered W. Lily itemized nine steps to accomplish downlisting for the species. One step is for known site conservation, especially the need to manage sites to stabilize and to enhance W. Lily populations using site-specific plans and the best available genetic information. The plan also identifies reintroduction of new populations as an essential step in recovering the species. The Bureau of Land Management has been working with Dr. Ed Guerrant, Director of the Plant Conservation Program at Portland State University, since 1996 on two separate W. Lily studies at the New River Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). Beginning in 1996, an experimental reintroduction was begun at the New River ACEC. Dr. Guerrant has monitored this population annually and in 2011 the first flowering plants were noted. To date, no natural reproduction has yet occurred at the site. This ongoing project has been monitoring the population to assess growth, plant numbers, herbivory, and to compare how well the original seeds and bulbs have fared over the years. Competing vegetation at the site has been managed to promote W. Lily plants. In 2003, a population of 16 individuals was discovered near the New River ACEC reintroduction site. In 2006 Dr. Guerrant began an assessment of this small population to determine what its habitat preferences were, how well this small population was doing, documenting reproduction, assessing whether or not habitat management might benefit the existing population, and if it may be possible to augment the population with transplants. This project has involved a yearly demographic survey to measure and map all plants found at the site. By 2014, the population had grown to close to one hundred plants. Seed had been harvested and plants (bulbs) are being grown out for future augmentation of the existing population. The objective of this program is three-fold: (1) to learn more about the habitat requirements and reintroduction techniques for Western lily (W. Lily, Lilium occidentale), a federal Endangered plant species (2) to provide the BLM, Portland State University, and plant conservationists more information on using reintroduction as a conservation tool and (3) to provide information about the conservation and the management of W. Lily.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this modification is to extend the deadline for response to 5:00 PM (EDT) on May 27, 2015. Complete information, including the full RFI, can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Through a balanced portfolio approach, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind and Water Power Technologies Office?s (WWPTO?s) Wind Power Program, herein referred to as the ?Wind Program?, makes strategic investments in the Power Systems Integration subprogram, including transformational technology innovations that seek to maximize generation from wind power resources while addressing key grid level integration, operations, and planning challenges. The Wind Program addresses technology needs and opportunities in wind integration, which would otherwise not be addressed by the private sector on its own. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit feedback from industry, utilities (investor-owned, municipal, and electric cooperative), academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to the use of controllable grid simulators to perform full scale wind-grid system research, development, and testing. Such research, development, and testing could include the application of Power Hardware-In-the-Loop (PHIL) testing capabilities to the wind technology market and the associated grid integration impacts. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to GridSimRFI@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (EDT) on May 27, 2015. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. Please identify your answers by responding to a specific question or topic if possible. Respondents may answer as many or as few questions as they wish. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications through this RFI. DOE will not respond to questions regarding this RFI.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the Public and Indian Housing Resident Opportunity and Self Sufficiency (ROSS) Service Coordinators (ROSS-SC) program is to provide grants to public housing agencies (PHAs), tribes/tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs), Resident Associations (RAs), and tax-exempt nonprofit organizations (including grassroots, faith-based and other community-based organizations) for the provision of a Service Coordinator to coordinate supportive services and other activities designed to help Public and Indian housing residents attain economic and housing self-sufficiency. This program works to promote the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of assistance under the Public Housing program with public and private resources, for supportive services and resident empowerment activities. These services should enable participating families to increase earned income, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance, make progress toward achieving economic independence and housing self-sufficiency or, in the case of elderly or disabled residents, help improve living conditions and enable residents to age in-place. A Service Coordinator ensures that program participants are linked to the supportive services they need to achieve self-sufficiency or remain independent. Funds in this program are not allowed to be used for the direct provision of these services. This program is similar to the Public Housing Family Self- Sufficiency program (PH FSS) however, the PH FSS program is open only to PHAs and tribes/TDHEs, has a requirement of an escrow account for its participants and provides one-year funding. The ROSS SC program is open to nonprofit and Resident Association applicants, provides three-year funding, includes administrative expenses and training as eligible uses of the funds and requires a 25% match by statute. A PHA or tribe may receive grants in both programs. </Description>

        <Description>The National Cancer Institute (NCI), through its Center for Global Health (CGH), seeks to promote cancer prevention and control (CPC) research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through collaborations and research partnerships between the NCI-designated cancer centers and institutions in LMICs. This administrative supplement uses the World Bank&amp;apos;s definition of LMIC. Through this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), the NCI will provide administrative supplement awards to currently-funded P30 NCI-designated cancer center grantees to support pilot research plans that focus on cancer prevention and control. The overarching purpose of these supplements is to stimulate and strengthen CPC research programs between researchers at the NCI-designated cancer centers and institutions in LMICs. It is anticipated that outcomes of this supplement will include collaborative research grants between investigators at the NCI-designated cancer centers and LMIC institutions. The applications should address questions that represent the needs of all stakeholders including the investigators, local Ministries or departments, and community members, so that the activity has a direct, local benefit. It is expected that the findings from these collaborations could improve cancer prevention and control strategies both in the US and abroad.</Description>

        <Description>The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District intends to enter into a sole source cooperative agreement with the Eugene Water and electric Board (EWEB) for the installation of PIT tag interrogation sites at Leaburg and Walterville Dams. The juvenile bypass screens at Leaburg and Walterville Dams are EWEB real-estate and ideal locations for the monitoring of Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tagged fish. There are no other known suitable locations on the McKenzie River to deploy this type of technology. The cooperative agreement represents an opportunity to partner with regional stakeholders to provide an important tool for fisheries research that will not only benefit USACE Willamette Valley Project Biological Opinion implementation efforts, but the region as a whole. USACE, Portland District will fund the design, installation, and, if necessary, the removal of all hardware associated with the system, including any modifications to EWEB facilities associated with installation or removal. USACE will coordinate with the design team to design an antenna system that is not only effective at tag detection, but also mitigates impacts to EWEB during installation and operation and maximizes ease of removal should that be necessary. Funds will be awarded pursuant to the Water Resource Development Act of 1999, Sec 582. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR COLUMBIA AND SNAKE RIVERS SALMON SURVIVAL. </Description>

        <Description>CDC intends to issue a sole source FOA to the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) in Washington, DC to regularly receive, review, and utilize national chemical and poison exposures data to 1) improve public health surveillance for chemical and poison exposures and associated illnesses, 2) identify early markers of chemical events with the objective of providing rapid and appropriate public health response, and 3) find potential cases and enhance situational awareness during a known event. NCEH/EHHE/HSB conducts surveillance for chemical exposures and provides situation awareness on a regional (i.e, multi-state) and national level. The purpose of this FOA is to provide additional information and amend the original FOA. Changes were made to sections Part 1 G.d. ( to adjust the total project period funding), Part G.e. (to adjust the average 1-year amount), Part 1 G.g (to adjust the estimated award date), and A.2.111.1. (to clarify collaborations). The summary of specific changes can be found on page 31. </Description>

        <Description>The primary goal of the INL Mexico corrections program is to support the Government of Mexico (GOM) in improving the professionalism and effectiveness of Mexican prison officials and staff to prepare inmates for reintegration and reinsertion into society as responsible citizens. To date, GOM does not have a methodology to prepare prisoners for pre-release and reinsertion/reentry back into society. The system is disjointed and inconsistent. The GOM is requesting assistance in creating a methodology that prepares prisoners and their families for their return to their respective communities. This includes the component of training prison staff; managers, technicians, custodial staff and prisoners. The Government of Mexico (GOM) created a multiagency group in order to implement an integral strategy to avoid the recidivism of inmates and assure their prompt social reintegration. The strategy considers multiagency coordination in order to implement programs to support the reentry process of the inmate population. Another key element of the strategy is to develop a comprehensive prison inmate care methodology. The first phase of the strategy contemplates four Mexican prisons that were selected by the GOM based on the characteristics of their inmate population. The prisons are located in Islas Marias, Jalisco, Guerrero and Hidalgo. INL is seeking applications from qualified organizations to conduct a diagnostic study of four prisons facilities and to develop a comprehensive prison inmate care methodology. Funding for any award(s) will come from the US Embassy in Mexico City&amp;#8217;s Technical Assistance in Prison Management program and Drug Demand Reduction program. The goal of the Technical Assistance in Prison Management program is to assist the Government of Mexico in improving the ability of its prison system to more effectively manage violent offenders and members of criminal networks. The goal of the Drug Demand Reduction program is to assist the Government of Mexico in strengthening its ability to diagnose and treat drug addiction, as part of a larger effort to fight organized crime. Financing projects related to the reentry in Mexico forms parts of the Technical Assistance in Prison Management and Drug Demand Reduction program&amp;#8217;s goals. The reentry programs are designed to assist inmates with a successful transition to their community after they are released. TARGET THEMES AND ACTIVITIES INL is seeking proposals that will provide a) a road plan on how the applicant intends to conduct a diagnostic study (or gap analysis) of four prisons, b) a road plan on how the applicant intends to approach the development of a comprehensive prison inmate care methodology, that can be implemented in every prison facility, but it is also required to specific recommendations based of the characteristics of the inmate population (male, female and juvenile prisoners). And c) In addition, proposal should provide a plan to identify training needs for each facility. The prisons selected for this pilot program are: &amp;#8226; Federal Reisertion Center Morelos, Islas Marias &amp;#8226; Female Reintegration Center for the State of Jalisco. &amp;#8226; Juvenile Center for Measure Implementation for the State of Guerrero. &amp;#8226; Center for Social Reinsertion for Pachuca, Hidalgo. The Government of Mexico will facilitate communication with state authorities to allow permission for any entry into the state prisons identified and in the case of Islas Marias may provide lodging and meals where no other options exists. Applicants must design and propose their own programs based on the aspects they consider important in the development of the comprehensive prison inmate care methodology. These should include, but are not limited to: 1. Conduct a diagnostic (gap analysis) of each facility to assess the programs, and methodologies that have been implemented in the established reinsertion programs of each prisoner as well as the conditions and structural needs. To be compliant with Mexican Constitution article 18. 2. Evaluation and follow up of the actions implemented of each participating entity and agency; 3. Identify existing programs or actions leading to improved job skills, education, health and addiction prevention related issues; 4. Evaluation of the policies and procedures of each prison facility; 5. Definition of specific actions in short, medium and long terms that need to be implemented in each prison facility to be in compliance with reinsertion program based on human rights, education, work and training opportunities, health and sports; 6. Identification of training needs and professional profiles for prison personnel; 7. Analysis of communication between the agencies involved in the strategy. At the end of the study we expect to see the results of the diagnostic and a comprehensive prison care methodology and finally the training needs. </Description>

        <Description>Liberia is one of three West African nations most heavily affected by the Ebola virus disease (EVD). During the onset of EVD outbreak in Liberia, many hospitals and clinics were closed. As these facilities reopen it is imperative that the health care system receive support to strengthen infection prevention and control, laboratory and blood services to ensure health care worker and patient safety and to improve health care services.The first component of this project will support infection prevention and control activities in hospitals and health centers. Throughout the outbreak, health care workers (HCW) have been of the highest risk groups for contracting EVD with over 360 cases and 170 fatalities reported in this high-risk group in Liberia alone. As the number of EVD cases drops and regular health services resume, HCWs must remain vigilant to ensure that they are able to appropriately triage suspected EVD patients while protecting themselves from possible exposure and to provide adequate care for non-EVD illnesses. This award will implement comprehensive Infection Prevention Control (IPC) training, as well as support and monitoring for Health Care Workers across Liberia.The second component of the project focuses on strengthening public health laboratory capacity through the provision of the equipment, consumables, mentoring and training for laboratory technicians needed to strengthen laboratory testing capacity. This strengthened capacity will ensure more rapid diagnosis for EVD and other common illnesses in hospital laboratories thus improving overall care. A major challenge has been differentiating the diagnosis of Ebola which has non-specific initial symptoms such fever, vomiting, diarrhea from more common everyday diseases such as malaria, viral illnesses, or complicated pregnancy. Direct Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing and other diagnostics within the hospital laboratory setting can play a crucial role in allowing patients with Ebola to be isolated for care more rapidly and to improve care for all patients.The third component of the project will strengthen blood transfusion services for the country of Liberia by providing training and direct technical assistance to improve blood collection and storage processes. These improvements will increase the availability of life saving transfusions for those in need.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), U.S. Department of State is seeking to administer a new educational initiative, the FY 2015 EducationUSA Academy, which would take place in the summers of 2016, 2017, and 2018. EducationUSA Academy will support Education USA&amp;apos;s overall goal of promoting U.S. higher education abroad. The long-term goal of EducationUSA Academy is to create a new recruitment pipeline for international high school students who may not have considered undergraduate study in the United States by creating a network of summer programs at participating U.S. colleges and universities, each aimed at providing a combination of intensive English language training and college-preparatory content. Over time, it is expected that many accredited U.S. colleges and universities will apply to become part of the EducationUSA Academy network, and the program will increase and diversify international enrollment at two- and four-year institutions across the country.</Description>

        <Description>Awards will be made as cooperative agreements to Minority Serving Institutions. The period of performance for an award is up to 3 years. Prospective proposers are requested to submit any questions in writing to NASAMEI@nasaprs.com no later than 10 business days before the proposal due date so that NASA will have sufficient time to respond. Only accredited Minority Serving Institutions in the United States are eligible to apply for this NASA Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN). Proposers to this CAN are required to have the following, no later than the due date: 1) a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, 2) a valid registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) [formerly known as the Central Contractor Registry (CCR)], 3) a valid Commercial And Government Entity (CAGE) Code, 4) a valid registration with NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) (this also applies to any entities proposed for sub-awards or subcontracts.) Consult Appendix N Section 3 for more eligibility information. NASA&amp;apos;s Office of Education&amp;apos;s mission is to advance high quality STEM education. Through this solicitation, NASA is strengthening involvement with higher education institutions to ensure that NASA can meet future workforce needs in STEM fields. Participation in NASA projects and research stimulates increasing numbers of students to continue their studies at all levels of the higher education continuum and earn advanced degrees in these critical fields. The goals of the MEIs are to: * Engage with MSI(s) to bring high performing undergraduate students, who plan to teach STEM, to NASA Centers for one week to interact with NASA missions and SMEs. * Engage participating future educators with NASA experts to collaborate and provide the most advanced and innovative pre-service/alternate route experiences possible. * Inspire future educators to help NASA communicate with students for years to come. * Reach underserved and underrepresented populations and institutions. The specific objectives of the MEIs are to: * Engage future educators enrolled in MSIs in NASA-unique, authentic STEM experiences affiliated with NASA missions and facilitated by NASA SMEs. * Train these future educators in the use of evidence-based instructional practices that provide students with rich, NASA-unique STEM learning opportunities. Funded proposals shall showcase and leverage NASA&amp;apos;s unique contributions in STEM fields to NASA-related careers, enhance students&amp;apos; academic experiences, and/or improve future educators&amp;apos; abilities to engage and teach their students. Each MEI will incorporate innovative approaches for development and delivery of instructional materials and professional learning experiences that capture the interest of future educators and actively involve participants in relevant NASA STEM content and applications. The proposed instructional materials and experiences shall be evidence-based and support K-12 STEM teaching and learning. Proposers are highly encouraged to identify and form partnerships with institutions interested in participating in the dissemination of programs, strategies, and materials. Every institution that intends to submit a proposal to this CAN, including the proposed prime award or any partner whether an informal education institution, other non-profit institutions, state and local Government agencies, and other organizations that will serve as sub-awardees or contractors, must be registered in NSPIRES. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the due date and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered 1) with Grants.gov and 2) with NSPIRES. Additional programmatic information for this CAN may develop before the proposal due date. If so, such information will be added as a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) or formal amendment to this CAN and posted on http://nspires.nasaprs.com . It is the proposer&amp;apos;s responsibility to regularly check NSPIRES for updates to this CAN. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>SAMHSA is limiting eligibility to MSIs (i.e., HBCUs, HSIs, AANAPISIs and TCUs) because these programs have a unique ability to meet the needs of the population of focus of the program, i.e., at-risk populations, including minorities. MSIs have a documented and consistent concentration of minority adult populations between the ages of 18 and 24.  MSIs have the greatest likelihood of achieving success through the MSI CBO grant program because: 1) their student populations are comprised of young adults who are members of racial/ethnic minorities; 2) they have ready access to minority students to provide them with routine HIV/HCV screening, testing, and prevention education and information on substance abuse, HIV and HCV; and 3) they have an established infrastructure for addressing SA, HIV/AIDS and HCV prevention that can be sustained as part of the community fabric. Consistent with the intent of the MAI initiative, MSIs also have experience in working collaboratively with minority community-based organizations (MCBOs) in surrounding communities to achieve SA, HIV/AIDS and HCV prevention goals </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The purpose of this program is to prevent and reduce substance abuse (SA) and transmission of HIV/AIDS among at-risk populations, including African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian American/Pacific Islander (AA/PI), and American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) young adult (ages 18-24) populations. To meet the needs of these populations, CSAP expects MSIs to partner with one or more community-based organization(s) (CBO) to provide integrated substance abuse (SA), Hepatitis-C (HCV), and HIV prevention programs. The objectives of this program support the four primary goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy which include: 1) reducing new HIV infections, 2) increasing access to care and improving health outcomes for people living with HIV, 3) reducing HIV-related disparities and health inequities, and 4) achieving a coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic.</Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grants Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#65533;s current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species of greatest conservation need and take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project. Additional information about the State Wildlife Grants Program is on the web at &amp;#65533;http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SWG/SWG.htm. If you do not have access to the Internet and would like to receive information by mail, contact the Service point of contact identified in the Agency Contacts section below.</Description>

        <Description>Background: Planning for the Bear Creek cooperative project, which consists of instream restoration and barrier culvert removal, began in 2009 with local land owners, Lane County planning/engineering, BLM fisheries staff and staff from the Long Tom River Watershed Council (LTWC). The project is located within the Long Tom River 5th Field Watershed Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC). Five phases have been proposed. Phase one (Lane County) was completed in the fall of 2014 and consisted of the removal of a barrier culvert and replacement with a fish friendly pipe on County Road 4096. Phase two consists of the replacement of a fish barrier culvert on road 19-5-22.1. This culvert will be replaced in the summer of 2015 with a fish passage culvert through a BLM contract. Phase 3 and 4 will be completed under this assistance agreement. Phase five is located upstream of the above mentioned restoration work. Phase five work has been initiated by BLM fisheries staff in the summer of 2014 and consisted of pulling trees and zip lining them into the stream channel and also falling stream adjacent trees into Bear Creek. Phase 5 would occur on BLM Section 21, of T19S R5W future similar work will continue to occur based on funding. NEPA has been completed for all phases of the Bear Creek project. Match funding for this project has been awarded to BLM and LTWC cooperators for phases 3 and 4. These funds cannot be used by any other recipients. </Description>

        <Description>The Conflict Victims&amp;#146; Support Program aims to provide equitable and transparent support to civilian victims of conflict related violence in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Designed assistance packages should take into consideration medical, psycho-social, livelihood and long-term support needs of civilian victims ensuring the maximum service-delivery to the beneficiaries. Subject to the availability of funds, this is expected to be a three-year cooperative agreement valued at $25 million. Due to the nature of the program, USAID anticipates that at least 60 percent out of the total budget will be proposed as a direct assistance to conflict victims. The selected program will coordinate and collaborate directly with the KP provincial line ministries, particularly, the Department of Social Welfare and Women&amp;#146;s Development, the FATA Secretariat and others responsible for ensuring the delivery of basic services in the implementation of this program. All designed assistance packages should be closely linked, where possible, to other on-going USG programs in the FATA/KP. The program is expected to be heavily branded and marked through an intensive public communications and outreach program. For program design purposes, USAID is providing as a very basic definition of the civilian victims of conflict related violence, the target group for this program, as non-military, non-police, non-combatant, and non-civil-servant victims injured, disabled or killed as a result of military operations and/or terrorist related acts in the FATA/KP. Civil-Servants, while civilians, are excluded from this program because they and their heirs are covered through a Government of Pakistan scheme should they be injured or killed in conflict related violence. </Description>

        <Description>Funds are now available for the FY15 Assistance for Local Emergency Response Training (ALERT) Grant. The ALERT Grant is focused on response activities for the transportation of crude oil, ethanol and other flammable liquids by rail. In accordance with the Omnibus Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, P.L.113-235 (the Act), PHMSA is authorized to use prior year recoveries from HMEP grant awards to provide funding for the ALERT Grant. This grant will be used to provide local emergency responders with additional training on hazardous materials transportation incidents. Grant funding will be sourced from prior year recoveries. As a result, PHMSA will apply existing resources toward its mission of protecting people and the environment from the risks inherent to the transportation of hazardous materials. Hazardous material training for volunteer or remote emergency responders has been identified as a top priority by PHMSA in FY15. This new competitive grant opportunity requests applications from nonprofit organizations that have the ability to provide direct or web-based hazardous materials training for volunteer or remote emergency responders. Ideally, PHMSA seeks applications from nonprofit organizations that represent public-private partnerships to improve regional emergency response.</Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW The Namekagon River is part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (Riverway) which was established by Congress to protect and enhance its outstanding natural, scenic, and recreational values. The General Management Plan (GMP) for the Riverway established &amp;#8220;Management Areas&amp;#8221; to identify how different portions of river would be managed to provide the desired visitor experiences. The majority of the Namekagon River was identified as a &amp;#8220;Near-Primitive Northwoods Management Area&amp;#8221; where the opportunity for solitude is to be high. A baseline for river use on the Namekagon River was established in 1999 using the &amp;#8220;Recreational Management Information System&amp;#8221; (RMIS). Measurements were repeated in 2002. The RMIS is a court-tested model to determine visitor use trends. Anecdotal evidence suggests that visitor use has increased and types of uses have changed on some sections of the Namekagon River since the 1999 and 2002 counts. The NPS proposes to repeat the RMIS measurements in summer 2015. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The purpose of repeating the river use study using RMIS is to take quantifiable measurements that can be compared to those taken in 1999 and 2002. The 2015 measurements will be compared to those taken in 1999 and 2002 to determine river use trends. The results will be used to determine if management action is necessary to provide the type of visitor experience intended by the NPS and documented in the GMP. Hypotheses to be tested are: a. River use as increased markedly along some sections of the Namekagon River. b. The use of tubes as vessels has become more widespread. c. There are more conflicts between river users. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The recipient will counted and recorded the number of river users at river access points (landings). Counts will be done at landings over a period of several hours between Memorial Day and mid-August and include the number of vessels that put-in, take-out, and float by. The type of vessel will be recorded as canoe, kayak, tube, johnboat, or drift boat and whether private or commercial. If commercial, the business name will be recorded. Visitors&amp;#8217; perceptions of conditions will be measured by short (one page) interviews as they exit the area. Interview questions include 1) activities and length of visit, 2) why they chose the Namekagon River, 3) changes since their last visit, and 4) reactions to the number of other visitors they encountered. The cooperator shall: a) provide a principal investigator to develop the field study design and provide program supervision; b) hire, train, and pay 2 student interns to interview, collect, and input data from May 15 through August 15, 2015; c) provide for transportation to and from landings for the interns d) provide computer(s) for use by the interns e) set-up the computer database; and f) provide a report presenting the results and comparing them to the 2002 and 1999 results. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT The NPS shall provide: a) housing for two research interns in the Trego, Wisconsin area; b) a workspace, with internet access, for the interns; c) an opportunity for the interns to participate in NPS seasonal training; and d) a point of contact for the interns at the Namekagon District Office in Trego, Wisconsin</Description>

        <Description>The BLM has worked with the Geological Society of America GeoCorps America Program for over 15 years to provide geoscientists, college students, professionals, and retirees, hands on experience in overall land management. The need for geoscience expertise is great. In many cases, geoscience is not adequately addressed in education, resource management, geological hazards mitigation, and other geological work on public lands. The GeoCorps program, dating from 1997, strives to increase the number of geoscientists able to provide educational outreach to a multitude of diverse land managers in order to address a more global approach for overall land management decisions and to raise the public&amp;#65533;s knowledge and awareness of the value of geoscience resources on public lands. The objective of this program is to continue to provide geoscientists, college students, professionals, and retirees, hands on experience in resource management, geological hazards mitigation, and other geological work related to overall land management in order to develop skills and abilities in geosciences.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is pleased to announce the availability of financial assistance to state wildlife agencies for issues related directly to the management of white nose syndrome (WNS). This opportunity is only open to state agencies and no more than one proposal will be accepted from each state. Priority will be given to states that have confirmed WNS or the causative fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), and adjacent states. However all states are encouraged to apply. As of April 1, 2015, states confirmed to have WNS include: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Pd has also been detected on bats in Iowa, Minnesota and Mississippi. The following adjacent states are now considered most vulnerable to the future spread of Pd and WNS: North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Rhode Island, and District of Columbia. The Service has targeted up to $1 million for this funding opportunity in 2015 to help build state capacity that will assist with the management and control of WNS. Available funds are from internally directed funds for Fiscal Year 2015. These grant awards are made under CFDA Number 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation &amp;#65533; Recovery Implementation Funds. </Description>

        <Description>The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.2 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all people incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. Programs funded under the Second Chance Act help ensure that the transition individuals make from prison and jail to the community is successful and promotes public safety. Securing employment can facilitate successful reentry for people leaving correctional facilities. However, there are many barriers people with criminal records encounter as they attempt to re-enter both the community and the workforce. Improving employment outcomes for this population can contribute to recidivism reduction and increased public safety. Section 115 of the Second Chance Act authorizes federal awards to states, units of local government, territories, and federally recognized Indian tribes to provide technology-based career training to persons confined in state prisons, local jails, tribal jails, and juvenile residential facilities. This program supports training for technology-related jobs and the continuum of reentry transition planning including education, training, support services, and building connections to local employers that will enable participants to secure employment prerelease.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the efficient pilot testing of novel interventions for mental disorders in adults and children through an experimental therapeutics approach.Under this FOA, trials must be designed so that results, whether positive or negative, will provide information of high scientific utility and will support go/no-go decisions about further development or testing of the intervention. Studies of novel interventions include, but are not limited to behavioral, pharmacological, biologics-based, cognitive, device-based, interpersonal, physiological, or combined approaches.Support will be provided for testing and validating the interventions ability to affect a specified target, and for relating the change in target to functional or clinical effects. Ultimately, this funding mechanism is intended to speed the translation of emerging basic science findings of mechanisms and processes underlying mental disorders into novel interventions that can be efficiently tested for their promise in restoring function and reducing symptoms for those living with mental disorders.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of Atlas 14 is to determine annual exceedance probabilities (AEP) and average recurrence intervals (ARI) for precipitation durations ranging from 5 minutes to 60 days and for ARIs from 1 to 1,000 years. After researching historical precipitation data, point estimates of AEPs and ARIs will be developed and spatially interpolated to a spatial resolution of approximately 4km x 4 km. The study results will be published as a volume of NOAA Atlas 14, a wholly web based publication available online through NOAA. The NOAA Atlas 14 Volume for Texas will include the artifacts provided in previous Volumes, including access through the Precipitation Frequency Data Server, base grids in standard formats, electronic copies of maps, results of trend analyses, charts of seasonal distributions and probabilistic temporal distributions, and detailed documentation. NOAA Atlas 14 Volume for Texas will assist USACE in developing hydrologic studies with the best available precipitation frequency data and support USACE&amp;#8217;s Flood Risk Management mission. Various state agencies, such as TXDOT (Texas Department of Transportation), will use the precipitation frequency estimates acquired in this study to assist in the design of highways, culverts, bridges, and parking lots. The precipitation frequency data may also be used to design storm water-runoff facilities, to estimate the volume of detentions basins and size detention-basin outlet structures. The precipitation frequency data provided in Atlas 14 will provide a public benefit in the form of more accurately designed drainage for roads and highways, providing safety when travelling across the state. Increasing the accuracy of the design of flood-risk management structures and forecasts by USACE and other state agencies also provides safety benefits to the public.

        <Description>To assist the Bureau of Land Management in managing Montezuma quail populations by evaluating Montezuma quail responses to common silviculture and rangeland practices in the Fort Stanton Snowy River National Conservation Area (NCA). (1) To describe spatial patterns and habitat use prior and after thinning projects (canopy cover reduced to a mosaic of 30% to 40% canopy cover) (2) controlled burns determine habitat use in relation to canopy cover (3) determine population characteristics (sex and age composition, survival rates, cause -specific mortality and density) of Montezuma quail in the NCA. Because few studies have been published on Montezuma quail using radio-telemetry, our knowledge on habitat use and life history is overly dependent on anecdotal observations. This study will be the first to document habitat use in relation to canopy cover, thinning projects and response to controlled burns. This project will address several conservation actions and monitoring recommendations for Montezuma quail. We will allow determination of current habitat use as well as provide needed information to construct management schemes to improve or maintain current Montezuma quail habitat. Ultimately, the understanding of the dynamics and ecology of Montezuma quail will aid in their management and the habitat they reside in.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage pilot research consistent with NIMH&amp;apos;s priorities for: 1) effectiveness research on preventive and therapeutic interventions with previously demonstrated efficacy, for use with broader target populations or for use in community practice settings, and 2) research on the development and preliminary testing of innovative services interventions. Applications should provide resources for evaluating the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability and safety of approaches to improve mental health or functional outcomes, or modify risk factors, and for obtaining the preliminary data needed as a pre-requisite to a larger-scale intervention trial (e.g., comparative effectiveness study, practical trial) or large-scale services study. In this pilot phase of effectiveness research, NIMH places highest priority on approaches that can be justified in terms of their potential to substantially impact practice and public health and approaches that are empirically grounded. Adaptations or augmentations of efficacious interventions should only be undertaken if there is an empirical rationale for the adaptation target and for the corresponding mechanism by which the adapted intervention or augmentation is expected to substantially enhance outcomes.This FOA is intended to support pilot effectiveness trials that are designed to explicitly address whether the intervention engages the target/mechanism that is presumed to underlie the intervention effects.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the efficient pilot testing of novel interventions for mental disorders in adults and children through an experimental therapeutics approach. Under this FOA, trials must be designed so that results, whether positive or negative, will provide information of high scientific utility and will support go/no-go decisions about further development or testing of the intervention. Studies of novel interventions include, but are not limited to behavioral, pharmacological, biologics-based, cognitive, device-based, interpersonal, physiological, or combined approaches. Support will be provided for up to two years (R21 phase) for preliminary milestone-driven testing and validating of the interventions therapeutic target, possibly followed by up to 3 years of support (R33 phase) for studies relating change in the intervention target to functional or clinical effects. Ultimately, this R21/R33 FOA is intended to speed the translation of emerging basic science findings of mechanisms and processes underlying mental disorders into novel interventions that can be efficiently tested for their promise in restoring function and reducing symptoms for those living with mental disorders.</Description>

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number:  10.912    SUMMARY:  The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an agency under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is announcing availability of Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies.  Proposals will be accepted from Pacific Islands Area (Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands).  NRCS anticipates that the amount available for support of this program in FY 2015 will be up to $150,000.  Proposals are requested from eligible governmental or non-governmental organizations or individuals for competitive consideration of grant awards for projects between 1 and 3 years in duration.    Funds will be awarded through a two-phase Pacific Islands Area wide competitive grants process that will include (1) a pre-proposal process and (2) a full proposal process.  The full proposal process will only be open to applicants whose pre-proposals are selected by NRCS.  Both phases are described in this announcement, but only pre-proposals are being solicited at this time.    This notice identifies the objectives, eligibility criteria, and application instructions for CIG projects.  Proposals will be screened for completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice.  Incomplete and/or noncompliant proposals will be eliminated from competition, and notification of elimination will be sent to the applicant.  NRCS will request a full proposal package only from those applicants selected in the pre-proposal phase.    DATES:  Pre-proposals must be received by NRCS before 12:00 p.m. noon, Hawaii Standard Time (HST) on Friday, April 24, 2015.  NRCS will announce selected pre-proposals by May 15, 2015.

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support confirmatory efficacy testing of non-pharmacological therapeutic and preventive interventions for mental disorders in adults and children through an experimental therapeutics approach. Under this FOA, trials must be designed so that results, whether positive or negative, will provide information of high scientific utility and will support &amp;quot;go/no-go&amp;quot; decisions about further development, effectiveness testing, or dissemination of the intervention. Intervention studies include, but are not limited to behavioral, cognitive, interpersonal, and device-based approaches, or a combination thereof. Interventions appropriate for efficacy testing must be based on a compelling scientific rationale, previous demonstration that the intervention engages and alters the hypothesized mechanism of action, a preliminary efficacy signal, and must address an unmet therapeutic need. Support will be provided for a trial of the intervention&amp;apos;s efficacy that includes measurement of the hypothesized mechanism of action and the relationship between change in the mechanism and change in functional or clinical effects. Ultimately, this FOA is intended to support a sufficiently- powered efficacy trial to determine the intervention&amp;apos;s potential for significant clinical benefit.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to support investigator-initiated clinical trials to establish the effectiveness of interventions and to test hypotheses regarding moderators, mediators, and mechanisms of action of these interventions. This FOA supports clinical trials designed to test the therapeutic value of treatment and preventive interventions for which there is already evidence of efficacy, for use in community and practice settings. Applications might include research to evaluate the effectiveness or increase the clinical impact of pharmacologic, somatic, psychosocial (psychotherapeutic, behavioral), device-based, rehabilitative and combination interventions to prevent or treat mental illness. This FOA also supports clinical trials to test patient-, provider-, organizational-, or systems -level services interventions to improve service access, engagement, quality, coordination, or delivery, with the goal of improved outcomes at the individual and population level. The intervention research covered under this announcement is explicitly focused on practice-relevant questions.</Description>

        <Description>Fledgling eagle banding is needed in order to determine whether or not eagles seen in Bird Airstrike Safety Hazards (BASH) potential aircraft strike locations (or involved in strikes) are from resident installation nests or other nests located off site. This project was proposed at the FY14 annual metrics meeting between NAVFAC Washington Natural Resource staff and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The banding information will be used to help determine whether or not bald eagle nests on the installation constitute a hazard to aviation on NAS Patuxent River.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Citizen Exchanges, SportsUnited Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for the FY 2015 Global Sports Mentoring Program (GSMP). Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to conduct two separate four-week reciprocal mentorship programs. By empowering women, girls, and people with disabilities, the GSMP directly supports United States foreign policy goals, promotes social inclusion and elevates the status of marginalized populations, by encouraging professional relationships between sports leaders and administrators in the United States and those overseas. Utilizing mentorship, a leadership curriculum, sustained engagement with U.S. Embassies, and participant-led action plans, the GSMP positively impacts underserved communities, ultimately creating a more secure and democratic global playing field for all. The first mentorship program, GSMP: Sports for Community in the spring of 2016, will use the platform and power of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to connect approximately 15 international emerging leaders, who are dedicated to increasing sports opportunities for people with disabilities throughout the Western Hemisphere, with 15 American mentors. Approximately 10 Americans mentors will participate in a reciprocal exchange overseas. The second mentorship program, GSMP: Empowering Women and Girls through Sports, in the fall of 2016, will connect approximately 20 female emerging leaders, dedicated to increasing opportunities for women and girls to participate in sports, with 20 American mentors. Approximately five to seven of the 20 American mentors will participate in a reciprocal exchange overseas. Through these two mentorship programs, a total of 70 participants (35 emerging leaders from other countries and 35 American mentors) will be engaged.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to support collaborative research to test the therapeutic value of treatment, preventive, and services strategies for which there is already evidence of efficacy, for use in community and practice settings and to test hypotheses regarding moderators, mediators, and mechanisms of action of these interventions.This FOA supports research to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacologic, psychosocial (psychotherapeutic and behavioral), rehabilitative and combination interventions that show promise, compared to existing treatment approaches, for improving symptomatic and functional outcomes for mental disorders. Studies that address either acute or longer-term therapeutic effects are encouraged.This FOA also supports clinical trials to test patient-, provider-, organizational-, or systems -level services interventions to improve service access, engagement, quality, coordination, or delivery, with the goal of improved outcomes for individual patients and as well as larger populations.The intervention research covered under this announcement is explicitly focused on practice-relevant questions.This FOA is intended to support research on interventions/services models that have the potential to substantially impact practice and public health in terms of the magnitude of likely improvements in key outcomes (e.g., clinical benefit, safety/tolerability profile, value and efficiency, or scalability potential), as compared to existing approaches.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) intends to issue a Single Source Grant Agreement Award without competition to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (Foundation) for efforts to cooperatively conserve Monarch butterflies and their habitat. Funding is being provided to ensure the recovery of monarch butterflies and the habitats on which they depend. The Service is supporting monarch habitat restoration on National Wildlife Refuges, the development of conservation plans across the range, community and youth engagement, and private landowner habitat restoration. The Monarch Fund is an effort by the Service to help focus and maximize the conservation and restoration activities taking place on private lands. The Monarch Fund also is an instrument for the Service to use to engage other federal agencies and private companies and foundations in the recovery of monarch butterfly populations.The purpose of the funding is to leverage public and private funds to accelerate efforts to stabilize and restore monarch butterfly populations. Since the mid-1990s there has been a loss of approximately 165 million acres of habitat and a more than 50% decline in the population of monarch butterflies. The goal of the Monarch Fund is to support the federal commitment to add 10 million acres of habitat in the continental U.S. and increase monarch populations to 300 million. This program builds on the existing efforts of the Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, The Monarch Joint Venture, and other entities, as well as guidance from the North American Monarch Conservation Plan.</Description>

        <Description>BJA and SAMHSA are accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 for grants to enhance court services, coordination, and evidence-based substance abuse treatment and recovery support services of adult drug courts. The purpose of this joint initiative is to allow applicants to submit a comprehensive strategy for enhancing drug court services and substance abuse treatment. Through this solicitation, applicants are competing for two grant awards (a grant from SAMHSA and a separate grant from BJA) for both criminal justice and substance abuse treatment funds with one application. In order to fulfill all of the requirements for this grant program, applicants should comply with the requirements outlined in this announcement as well as those incorporated by reference in the Requirements Resource Guide. These grants are authorized under 42 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 3797u, et seq., and section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA and SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Strategic Initiative on Trauma and Justice. Drug courts funded through this grant may use federal funding and matched funding to serve only nonviolent offenders1 and must operate the adult drug court based on BJA&amp;#8217;s and the National Association of Drug Court Professionals&amp;#8217; publication Defining Drug Courts: The Key Components, which addresses the statutory requirements. This opportunity provides drug court applicants the flexibility to identify the most appropriate evidence-based court (service/docket) model on which to base the drug court, in order to accommodate the needs and available resources of that jurisdiction, so long as the model conforms to the 10 key drug court components (see pages 9-11 of this solicitation), which describe the basic elements that define drug courts. (See page 8 for a definition of &amp;#8220;evidence-based.&amp;#8221;)</Description>

Provide interprofessional training of their preventive medicine residents including training in preventive medicine and integrative health care for other primary care or community-based health care trainees or providers in addition to preventive medicine residents. Awardees shall use funds to: &amp;#183; Plan, develop (including the development of curricula), operate, or participate in an accredited residency or internship program in preventive medicine or public health; &amp;#183; Defray the costs of practicum experiences, as required in preventive medicine programs; and &amp;#183; Establish, maintain or improve academic administrative units (including departments, divisions, or other appropriate units) in preventive medicine, and public health; or programs that improve clinical teaching in preventive medicine and public health. Operation of residency or internship programs may include support for resident tuition, fees, travel, stipends, and other expenses, infrastructure, and a faculty development program and activities. Trainee support may be provided for a maximum of 24 months, which includes the academic year and the practicum year. For the three-year project period, different cohorts of residents may be funded for a 24 month period. Examples of other trainee costs that can be supported include tuition for the master&amp;#8217;s degree in public health or other master&amp;#8217;s degree related to the preventive medicine specialty, fees, and travel to professional meetings. Examples of faculty development activities that may be supported include the participation of the project director and/or key faculty and preceptors in professional development opportunities to meet the purposes of the project. Examples include attendance at conferences, workshops, and seminars for continuing education and a longer term structured learning opportunity that may or may not lead to certification to increase faculty knowledge and skills in meeting the requirements of the project. New residency programs, without accreditation, can request up to $150,000 for the first year of the grant to plan and develop a residency program. New programs must provide proof of accreditation by the end of the first year of support in order to continue to receive grant funds and to receive support for trainee costs.

Harvey Fineberg&amp;#8217;s 5 dimensions of integrative medicine included: health care that 1) embraces the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual factors; 2) encompasses a full spectrum of health interventions including approaches to prevention, to treatment, to rehabilitation, and to recovery; 3) emphasizes coordination of care across an array of caregivers and institutions; 4) is patient-centered; and 5) is open to multiple modalities of care, not just &amp;#8216;usual care,&amp;#8221; but also unconventional care that helps patients manage, maintain, and restore health.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Family Assistance (OFA) is announcing that it anticipates competitively awarding cooperative agreements to support demonstration projects that are designed to provide eligible individuals with the opportunity to obtain education and training for occupations in the health care field that pay well and are expected to either experience labor shortages or be in high demand. In addition to providing education and training services, funds for this project may be used for child care, case management, and other supportive services as appropriate. In FY 2010, the first year of the grant, ACF published two Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA), carried out a grant competition process, and awarded 32 Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) for five year project periods, including grants to five Tribal organizations. The fifth and final year of these initial grants will end on September 29, 2015. The Protecting Access to Medicare Act (enacted April 1, 2014), extends HPOG through FY 2015, which enables a new grant competition process for the program. It is expected that new grants will be for 60-month project periods with five 12-month budget periods. However, funding of HPOG projects beyond the first 12-month budget period will require the appropriation of additional funds not contained in the current authorizing legislation. Individuals who are eligible to participate in the HPOG program are those receiving assistance under a state or tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and other low-income individuals. Potential applicants will need to be able to demonstrate strong partnerships with health care employers, and a strong labor market demand for the occupations for which they are providing education and training. In accordance with 42 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 1397g(a)(2)(B), potential applicants must be an eligible entity and be able to demonstrate that they have consulted and will carry out their HPOG projects in coordination with each of the following entities: The State agency responsible for administering the State TANF program; The Local Workforce Investment Board in the area in which the project is to be conducted (unless the applicant is such board); The State Workforce Investment Board established under Section 111 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (29 U.S.C. &amp;#167;2821); and The State Apprenticeship Agency recognized under the Act of August 16, 1937 (29 U.S.C. 50 et seq.), commonly known as the National Apprenticeship Act. Or if no agency has been recognized in the State, the Office of the Apprenticeship of the Department of Labor. Under this FOA, OFA will fund at least 3 grants to eligible entities that are Indian tribes, tribal organizations, or Tribal Colleges or Universities in accordance with 42 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 1397g(a)(2)(C). Organizations that qualify may apply under both this funding opportunity announcement and HHS-2015-ACF-OFA-FY-0951, the Health Profession Opportunity Grants to Serve TANF Recipients and Other Low-Income Individuals. However, an organization may only be funded under one of the two funding opportunity announcements, and not both. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#65533;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Project Title Engaging Americans through Outdoor Recreation Recipient The Outdoor Foundation Principle Investigator / Program Manager Christine Fanning Total Anticipated Award Amount 0.00 Cost Share 0.00 New Award or Continuation? New Award Anticipated Length of Agreement Five years from the date of signature Anticipated Period of Performance Five years from the date of signature Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1281e, 16 USC 1723(c)(1) and 54 USC 200305 CFDA # and Title 15.954 Conservation, Protection, Outreach and Education Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Unsolicited Proposal NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW The objective of this Agreement is to increase participation by all Americans &amp;#65533; especially youth and young adults &amp;#65533; in outdoor recreation activities and in the conservation of our public lands. The Agreement builds upon and expands programs and activities carried out in partnership between the National Park Service and the Outdoor Foundation, including but not limited to the Outdoor Nation program begun in 2009 for the purpose of engaging young adults, and provides a partnership framework through which a range of other opportunities to increase and enhance outdoor recreation participation and engagement by Americans of all ages can be developed and implemented. The Recipient is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) foundation established by the Outdoor Industry Association to inspire and grow future generations of outdoor enthusiasts. Its vision is to be a driving force to increase active outdoor recreation in America. This Agreement will continue developing and enhancing an established cooperative relationship between NPS and the Recipient by providing a broad range of programs and projects that seek to advance public purposes consistent with the mission and goals of NPS and the Department of the Interior. The partnership supports NPS and Department of the Interior goals for youth engagement and public health, and addresses NPS Centennial goals including encouragement of children to be future conservationists, engaging the public as citizen stewards, and providing NPS recreational opportunities for all Americans. Today&amp;#65533;s young adults spend less time outdoors than any previous generation, and this trend correlates to physiological and psychological health issues including obesity, depression and attention deficit disorder; the activities and projects within this partnership directly address these conditions. It is anticipated that this Agreement will foster additional activity by the Recipient to engage youth and young adults -- especially seeking to reach those from urban communities and diverse backgrounds -- and ultimately to increase outdoor recreation participation. This may take the form of programming that encourages youth and young adults to visit national parks for recreational enjoyment; support for gatherings designed to develop leadership skills in the context of outdoor recreation and conservation activities; sustenance of social media and other organizing tools to support and promote outdoor recreation among youth and young adults; creation and maintenance of online tools and resources that help participants practice effective leadership in their local communities; and recruitment of participants from a broad range of geographic origins, neighborhood experiences, and social and ethnic backgrounds to become participants in activities and opportunities sponsored and supported by the NPS, the Recipient, and other partners. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Cooperate in activities related to the promotion of outdoor recreation and conservation activities by people of all ages and diverse backgrounds by fostering the exchange of information. 2. Collaboratively identify, plan, and execute strategic methods for engaging citizens in the management and policy realms pertaining to conservation and outdoor recreation lands and resources. 3. Partner in efforts to identify, modify, and integrate other existing or potential programs and activities to more seamlessly and effectively meet the common objectives of this Agreement. 4. Identify additional stakeholders, engage additional partners, and seek additional funding from a range of sources that can be used to enhance the scale and success of these mutually beneficial projects. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Plan, develop, produce and disseminate informational and educational materials and events, stimulating innovative ways to engage interest and activity among all Americans in our parks and public lands and waters. 2. Support the Recipient in mutually agreed-upon activities by participating in planning, development of agendas and informational and educational materials, and participating in meetings and workshops, to support the objectives of this agreement. 3. Provide financial resources to stimulate relevant activities by the Recipient, subject to the details and terms of relevant Task Agreements to be developed subsequent to this Agreement, and subject to availability of funds as determined solely at the discretion of NPS. The Recipient and NPS, jointly, agree to: 1. Undertake all tasks and activities associated with this Agreement and subsequent Task Agreements in the spirit of partnership, and make effective and efficient use of the strengths and authorities possessed by the respective parties. 2. Remain cognizant of evolving NPS strategic priorities regarding engaging the public, and periodically consider appropriate responses and refinements in joint activities in the interest of maximizing beneficial outcomes relevant to those priorities.

        <Description>The Circles of Support and Accountability initiative emerged in Canada in the 1990s as a community-based, restorative justice movement that &amp;#8220;focuses on the need to engage the community in the reintegration process.&amp;#8221; In FY 2012, the SMART Office selected two project sites, Durham, North Carolina and Multnomah County, Oregon, and a training and technical assistance provider to support its Promoting Evidence Integration in Sex Offender Management: Circles of Support and Accountability (COSA) program. COSA projects are now underway or in progress in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Vermont. The COSA model fills a gap in services for some offenders left by criminal justice policy; essentially, those at highest risk of re-offense who are being released at the end of their sentences without a formal process of aftercare. COSA programs were created, in part, to address the threat perceived by communities that sex offenders pose when they return from prison. At its core, COSA enlists volunteers from the community to aid in the management of sex offenders. COSA typically targets male offenders who have a long history of offending, failure in treatment, antisocial values and attitudes, are at high-risk for reoffending (for new sex or other offenses), and who are likely held until the end of their prison sentence and released with no probation or parole supervision. Each Circle consists of a Core Member (the sex offender) and four to six community volunteers. A COSA volunteer meets with the Core Member daily and the Circle meets once a week. The key to the program is &amp;#8220;a relationship scheme based on friendship and accountability for behavior.&amp;#8221; COSA programs have been initiated and implemented by faith-based organizations, community volunteer groups, and as an adjunct to criminal justice community corrections programs. The COSA model has an underlying philosophy of restorative justice, in that it focuses on the needs of the victim and offender and involves the community in resolving issues. In this respect, COSA appears to be a natural fit for Indian Country. The First Nations in Canada and American Indians/Alaska Natives in the United States have had a strong influence on the North American restorative justice movement. The holistic philosophy of the Nations and Tribes involves a circle of justice that connects everyone involved with a problem or conflict, with everyone focused on a common center. In approaching a conflict or problem, all contributing factors are examined to address the underlying issues that precipitated the problem, and everyone affected by a problem participates in the process. In this process, justice also means setting an action plan for how the wrongdoer and victims can proceed on a path of healing, both spiritual and physical. An example of restorative justice that is both process and community centered&amp;#8212;and one resembling COSA programs in non-tribal/native communities&amp;#8212;is the Community Holistic Circle Healing (CHCH) project of the Hollow Water First Nation in Manitoba, Canada. CHCH staff are involved in the entire healing process; a process that is based on traditional teachings that create the foundation for the Circle. CHCH uses a contract that requires everyone affected by a crime to take responsibility for keeping a compassionate yet watchful eye on the offender, be supportive of the victim, and bring about changes to their relationships that will minimize the risk of future abuse. The premise behind this healing and accountability process is that every individual is a whole being, not just a victim, an abuser, or a bystander with no role to play. This response encourages the entire community affected by the abuse to be involved in changing the norms that may allow and even promote abuse. The spiritual core of CHCH requires the involvement of victims, abusers and their respective families and focuses on the community affected by the abuse. A successful CHCH helps to reestablish a spiritual, physical, emotional and intellectual balance that benefits the individuals affected and addresses the needs of the entire community. A ten-year evaluation of the CHCH program captured its success in preventing sex offender recidivism. Of the 107 individuals who had participated in the program only two reoffended. Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables The purpose of this project is to support the development of COSA-type initiatives in tribal communities. That is, a holistic healing program working in tandem with professionals consisting of tribal community volunteers, a sex offender (Core Member), and trained professionals (Outer Circle). The Applying COSA in Indian Country Training and Technical Assistance Project will support tribal project sites funded under the Promoting Evidence Integration in Sex Offender Management: Applying Circles of Support and Accountability in Indian Country Project Sites. The successful applicant will plan and deliver training and technical assistance to up to two award recipients for the adaptation of the COSA model to the specific tribal community, implementation fidelity and proper training of community volunteers. Technical assistance needs may vary depending on the tribal jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s restorative justice philosophy and practices, whether the tribal jurisdiction has implemented some form of Circle healing program or not, and if the jurisdiction has experience with including community members or volunteers in assisting in the supervision of offenders. As a result, applicants should be able to demonstrate: 1) expertise in tribal justice practices, 2) tribal sex offender management practices, 2) experience in developing and implementing the COSA model, 3) proficiency in developing and providing technical assistance in sex offender management, 4) ability to complete program assessments, 5) knowledge of recruiting, training and managing volunteers, and 6) experience in educating the public about sex offenders and sexual violence, including community notification schemes, public education campaigns, and victim support programs. The successful applicant will also assist COSA tribal grantees in collecting the following information to be included in the jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s final report to the SMART Office: &amp;#8226; Descriptive information about the tribal jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s restorative justice philosophy and healing practices. &amp;#8226; Descriptive information about sex offenders in the jurisdiction, including those eligible for COSA type initiatives. &amp;#8226; Recidivism (new charges for sexual, violent, and any criminal offenses, and returns to prison). &amp;#8226; Changes in offender criminal behavior, measured as pro-criminal attitudes or antisocial behavior, drug and alcohol use, and participation in sex offender treatment, substance abuse and mental health services. &amp;#8226; Positive changes in offender behavior (i.e., pro-social behaviors and attitudes). &amp;#8226; Changes in the tribal community (including victims) as a result of program implementation (i.e., awareness of sexual offending behavior, healing processes, community involvement in the program, sexual violence prevention, and/or victim support).Program cost effectiveness. Other activities and deliverables will include: &amp;#8226; Onsite delivery of training and technical assistance to two COSA grantees, including the development of training materials. &amp;#8226; Program assessment of each tribal grantee. &amp;#8226; Training and technical assistance delivery plan based on identified needs of each grantee. &amp;#8226; Individual training and technical assistance plans for each grantee. A report for possible future publication and dissemination will be the final deliverable for this project. The report should document the process of developing COSA-type programs in each grantee site and contain, but not be limited to, descriptions of the process involved in developing and conducting the training and technical assistance, and descriptive information on the number and types of training and technical assistance provided to jurisdictions. </Description>

        <Description>The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Family Assistance (OFA) is announcing that it anticipates competitively awarding cooperative agreements to support demonstration projects that are designed to provide eligible individuals with the opportunity to obtain education and training for occupations in the health care field that pay well and are expected to either experience labor shortages or be in high demand. In addition to providing education and training services, funds for this project may be used for child care, case management, and other supportive services as appropriate. In FY 2010, the first year of the grant, ACF published two Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA), carried out a grant competition process, and awarded 32 Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) for five year project periods. The fifth and final year of these initial grants will end on September 29, 2015. The Protecting Access to Medicare Act (enacted April 1, 2014), extends HPOG through FY 2015, which enables a new grant competition process for the program. It is expected that new grants will be for 60-month project periods with five 12-month budget periods. However, funding of HPOG projects beyond the first 12-month budget period will require the appropriation of additional funds not contained in the current authorizing legislation. Individuals who are eligible to participate in the HPOG programs are those receiving assistance under a state TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) program and other low-income individuals. Potential applicants will need to be able to demonstrate strong partnerships with health care employers, and a strong labor market demand for the occupations for which they are providing education and training. All grantees will be required to take part in a rigorous evaluation, which is likely to include a random assignment process of potential participants into control and intervention groups. In accordance with 42 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 1397g(a)(2)(B), potential applicants must be an eligible entity and be able to demonstrate that they have consulted and will carry out their HPOG projects in coordination with each of the following entities: The State agency responsible for administering the State TANF program; The Local Workforce Investment Board in the area in which the project is to be conducted (unless the applicant is such board); The State Workforce Investment Board established under Section 111 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (29 U.S.C. &amp;#167;2821); and The State Apprenticeship Agency recognized under the Act of August 16, 1937 (29 U.S.C. 50 et seq.), commonly known as the National Apprenticeship Act. Or if no agency has been recognized in the State, the Office of the Apprenticeship of the Department of Labor. Organizations that qualify may apply under both this funding opportunity announcement and HHS-2015-ACF-OFA-FY-0952, the Health Profession Opportunity Grants for Tribes, Tribal Organizations, or Tribal College or University. However, an organization may only be funded under one of the two funding opportunity announcements, and not both.</Description>

        <Description>This study proposes to build upon previous work to incorporate drill hole data with modern geologic and geophysical knowledge to produce an improved geologic map of intrusive and extrusive igneous rock lithologies, ores, and alteration zones within Precambrian-age rocks for the study area. Better definition of these factors will aid in characterization of the setting and origin of the known Fe-Cu-Co-Au-REE deposits, and will facilitate identification of potential unknown deposits, providing a basis for mineral resource assessments and new industry exploration in the region. The PI for this project will provide direction on and assistance with sampling and petrophysical measurements of igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, ores, and alteration zones in aid of delineation of the subsurface geology of the region. Sampling will include drill cores housed at the Missouri Geological Survey (MGS), abandoned mines and outcrop locations. Information on the petrology and petrography of units will also be examined.</Description>

Each local trust is dedicated to renewing and restoring distressed neighborhoods through environmental projects and programs that bring local residents, government, youth, and businesses together. Groundwork trusts, which are independent non-profits, are established in places with an industrial past that have been largely left behind by economic growth in the last few decades. Groundwork was established in the United States through the leadership of the National Park Service&amp;#65533;s Rivers, Trails &amp;amp; Conservation Assistance (RTCA) Program and the USEPA Brownfields Program. The Groundwork USA 2015 Annual Assembly and Youth Summit will be held at the YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park Center, Denver, Colorado, from October 21 &amp;#65533; 25, 2015. This is a unique event that will bring together environmental community development practitioners&amp;#65533;Executive Directors and youth crew leaders from the Groundwork Trusts across our national network, teens from distressed communities across the country who take part in the Groundwork Green Team program, non-profit partners, NPS employees and other Federal agencies. This summit will allow these people to learn best practices, share experiences, gain inspiration from one another, learn better ways of involving whole communities in environmental restoration and connect to the wider National Park System beyond their respective communities. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Provide transportation and accommodations for youth delegates to attend the Summit; 2.

        <Description>Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell has pledged that the Department of the Interior (DOI) will provide 100,000 work &amp;amp; training opportunities to young people within our bureaus and through public-private partnerships over the next four years. As a high-priority goal the BLM Alaska will continue in their efforts to provide work and training opportunities to youth and young adult to gain land management experience by working with land managers on various projects. BLM Alaska has been very successful in providing opportunities throughout the State of Alaska, which educate and inspire the next generation of conservation leaders. For the past 25 years, the BLM Glennallen Field Office has been working to provide youth opportunities to explore natural resource careers. Recently opportunities for youth have been expanded to reach out to younger students, providing outdoor science education opportunities at a young age and working with partners to develop outdoor and science skills as youth grow and mature.</Description>

        <Description>The HIV Vaccine Research and Design (HIVRAD) program is designed to fund projects that further address hypotheses crucial to the design of an efficacious HIV/AIDS prophylactic vaccine. Applications for five years of support should include plans that have advanced past the exploratory stage and include preliminary data. Less fully developed applications can request less than 5 years of support to establish feasibility. Applications aimed at developing or optimizing a specific vaccine platform should lay out a research pathway with clear decision points. Extensive modeling of vaccine concepts in non-human primates may be included. </Description>

        <Description>Approximately 2.2 million people were incarcerated in federal, state, and local prisons and jails in 2013, a rate of 1 out of every 110 adults.1 After three years of declines, the prison population increased slightly in 2013, largely due to growth in state prison populations. These prisons face crowding and resource challenges. Accordingly, state spending on corrections has remained high. Over the last 25 years, state corrections expenditures have increased significantly&amp;#8212;from $12 billion in 1988 to more than $55 billion in 2013.2 Similar trends are evident on the local level. The local jail population declined by 13,300 from 2012 to 2013, a decrease of 1.8 percent;3 however, the trend over time indicates an increase in jail use. From 2000 to 2013, the nation&amp;#8217;s jail population increased by nearly 18 percent. As a result, many jails remain overcrowded yet lack resources dedicated to treatment or programming. Local expenditures on building and operating jails increased nearly 235 percent from 1982 to 2011, a figure that likely underrepresents local investments because it may not include costs such as employee pensions, inmate health care, and other costs outside corrections budgets.4 The returns on these investments in local jails are disheartening. Pretrial detention, even for short periods, has been found to correlate with reduced public safety and worse case outcomes.5 Additionally, when a small fraction of people consume a disproportionately large share of jail resources due to mental health problems, substance addiction, and homelessness&amp;#8212;as is the case for several local JRI sites and other jail systems studied recently&amp;#8212;local justice systems are not achieving the public safety outcomes that their communities expect. Justice reinvestment emerged as a way to address these issues, both at the state and local level, through a targeted, data-driven policymaking process. BJA, in a public/private partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts, launched the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI) in 2010 as a multistaged process in which a jurisdiction increases the cost-effectiveness of its criminal justice system by investing in high-performing public safety strategies. JRI is a public-private partnership between BJA, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and JRI technical assistance (TA) and assessment providers. Justice Reinvestment at the local level is fundedsolely by BJA. Funding from BJA is authorized under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Pub. L. 113-235.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the National Training and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreements (NCAs) Program to provide necessary technical and non-financial assistance to potential and existing Health Center Program[1] grantees and look-alikes (hereafter referred to as health centers) nationwide. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is seeking to fund up to four NCAs to provide training and technical assistance (T/TA) directly and through collaborative partnerships[2] to support health centers in providing better, more affordable care and improving the health of individuals and communities in accordance with the following Department of Health and Human Services&amp;#8217; (HHS) National Quality Strategy (NQS) priorities:[3] 1. Making care safer by reducing harm caused in the delivery of care. 2. Ensuring that each person and family is engaged as partners in their care. 3. Promoting effective communication and coordination of care. 4. Promoting the most effective prevention and treatment practices for the leading causes of mortality. 5. Working with communities to promote use of best practices to enable healthy living. 6. Making quality care more affordable and accessible for individuals, families, and the community by developing and spreading new health care delivery models. Target Areas Organizations that receive NCA funding under this announcement will provide specialized national T/TA to health centers in one of the following Target Areas: Oral Health: The Oral Health cooperative agreement will provide specialized T/TA to help health centers provide new high-quality oral health services, enhance the quality of oral health services currently provided, and accurately report on oral health care quality in annual reports to HRSA. Health Information Technology (HIT) and Data: The HIT and Data cooperative agreement will provide specialized T/TA to help health centers adopt, optimize, and implement meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs) and related health information technology; develop and improve data quality, aggregation, and analytic capacity; use data to support clinical and operational quality improvement; and support effective recruitment and retention strategies for informatics and information management staff. Clinical Workforce Development: The Clinical Workforce Development cooperative agreement will provide T/TA to help health centers identify and implement innovative models and effective practices to train health profession students, residents, and licensed clinicians to provide high quality care to vulnerable populations in team-based primary care settings.

        <Description>The Office of Citizenship (OoC), within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is charged with promoting instruction and training on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. USCIS recognizes that naturalization is an important milestone in the civic integration of immigrants. Naturalization requirements, such as knowledge of English and of U.S. history and civics, encourage civic learning and build a strong foundation upon which immigrants can exercise their rights and responsibilities. Through preparing for naturalization, immigrants will gain the tools to become successful citizens&amp;#8212;ready to exercise their rights and meet their responsibilities as United States citizens. The goal of the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program is to expand the availability of high quality citizenship preparation services for lawful permanent residents in communities across the nation. Additional activities that support this goal include making citizenship instruction and naturalization application services accessible to low-income and other underserved lawful permanent resident populations; developing, identifying, and sharing promising practices in citizenship preparation; supporting innovative and creative solutions to barriers faced by those seeking naturalization; increasing the use of and access to technology in citizenship preparation programs; working with local libraries, which serve as a vital resource for immigrant communities; and engaging receiving communities in the citizenship and civic integration process. The Citizenship and Integration Grant Program addresses the following DHS mission as specified in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR): Mission 3: Enforce and Administer Our Immigration Laws Goal 3.1: Strengthen and Effectively Administer the Immigration System &amp;#8226; Promote lawful immigration; &amp;#8226; Effectively administer the immigration services system; and &amp;#8226; Promote the integration of lawful immigrants into American society. Request for Proposals In fiscal year (FY) 2015, a total of up to $10,000,000 in federal funding is available for eligible organizations to provide direct citizenship preparation services to lawful permanent residents. Proposed citizenship preparation activities must include the following two components: 1. Citizenship instruction to prepare lawful permanent residents for the civics (U.S. history and government) and English (reading, writing, and speaking) components of the naturalization test. Program design must include: &amp;#8226; The use of a nationally normed standardized test of English proficiency for student placement and assessment of progress; &amp;#8226; The provision of at least 40 hours of citizenship instruction over an 8-15 week class cycle for students at or below the NRS high intermediate level; &amp;#8226; Enrolling a minimum of 200 non-duplicated lawful permanent residents in citizenship classes with a minimum of 40 hours of instruction over the two year period of performance; and &amp;#8226; The use of citizenship teachers, whether a volunteer or paid, who have at least one year of experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) or citizenship to adults. 2. Naturalization application services, within the scope of the authorized practice of immigration law, to support lawful permanent residents in the naturalization application and interview process. Services must include: &amp;#8226; The provision of naturalization eligibility screening; &amp;#8226; The preparation and submission of a minimum of 200 Forms N-400, Application for Naturalization with Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative over the two year period of performance; &amp;#8226; Ongoing case management; &amp;#8226; The use of a BIA accredited representative or an attorney who is an employee at the applicant organization or at the sub-awardee organization. (Pro bono or volunteer attorneys may be used to supplement the program.) Attorneys and BIA accredited representatives must sign Form N-400 as the preparer, submit Form G-28 with each Form N-400 filed under this grant, and mail the naturalization application package to USCIS on behalf of the client. Services may also include interview preparation, a representative&amp;#8217;s appearance at the naturalization interview, and filing of other forms or documents (such as Form N-648, Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions), if applicable. Partnerships Partnerships are encouraged. Applicants may include partnerships with other public or non-profit organizations in their proposal. The principal applicant must directly provide either citizenship instruction or naturalization application services, or both. A partner organization is considered a &amp;#8220;sub-awardee&amp;#8221; if the organization will receive a portion of the grant funding to provide additional or complementary direct citizenship instruction or naturalization application services. The applicant must complete a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the prospective sub- awardee. The applicant must clearly demonstrate how it will monitor the prospective sub-awardee&amp;#8217;s performance and ensure that the prospective sub-awardee complies with all grant award conditions and data reporting requirements. Prospective sub-awardees must have their own individual Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and will be responsible for financial and performance reporting. Sub-awardees must submit their reports to the primary applicant for submission to DHS. If the partner organization will not receive a portion of the grant funds, then the partner is not considered a prospective sub-awardee, and would not be required to complete an MOU or obtain a DUNS number.</Description>

        <Description>This program strives to discover host tolerance mechanisms in order to identify a suite of interventions suitable for use in humans to mitigate the deleterious effects of infectious diseases. THoR is seeking novel methods and technologies to discover and understand these responses in hosts that are resilient when exposed to infectious diseases. Specifically, DARPA aims to discover the fundamental biological relationships that underlie host tolerance to infection in animal populations in order to provide the foundational knowledge required to develop interventions for potential transition into clinical use. This program is organized into three Technical Areas (TAs): 1) Identification and characterization of animal hosts with tolerant phenotypes; 2) Discovery of biological mechanisms that underlie tolerance; and 3) Identification of interventions that utilize tolerance mechanisms with the goal of reducing morbidity and mortality due to infection. This BAA will focus specifically on understanding tolerance mechanisms in prospective animal studies in conjunction with the analysis of retrospective pre-clinical and human clinical datasets.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support the project entitled &amp;#65533;Climate Change Synthesis, Communication, and Training Activities&amp;#65533;. A synthesis of the impacts of climate change on natural resources around the country is needed to prioritize appropriate adaptation actions and identify where additional research is needed. Additionally, successful communication of synthesis products is also necessary to ensure acquired information is adequately implemented into policy and planning activities. This funding opportunity is being offered to assist NCCWSC with syntheses of climate change impacts from the different Department of Interior Climate Science Center (CSC) regions and provide communication products that sufficiently illustrate those impacts. This funding opportunity is also seeking assistance with training of CSC personnel regarding effective scientific communication. Such training will help prepare young scientists in the CSC network to generate rigorous science products that are also useful for decision making. The specific objectives for this proposal have been divided into 2 tasks, including 1) training and synthesis and 2) communication. </Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 PPHF-2015 Cooperative Agreements for State-Sponsored Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention (Short Title: State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Cooperative Agreements) (PPHF-2015). The purpose of this program is to support states and tribes (including Alaska Villages and urban Indian organizations) in developing and implementing statewide or tribal youth suicide prevention and early intervention strategies. The programs include collaboration among youth-serving institutions and agencies and should include schools, educational institutions, juvenile justice systems, foster care systems, substance abuse and mental health programs, and other child and youth supporting organizations; these efforts should include both a strong community component and a strong health system component. The ultimate goal of this program is to reduce suicide deaths and non-fatal suicide attempts. SAMHSA has demonstrated that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. Behavioral health services improve health status and reduce health care and other costs to society. Continued improvement in the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services provides a cost effective opportunity to advance and protect the nation&amp;#8217;s health. To continue to improve the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services, SAMHSA has identified six Strategic Initiatives to focus the Agency&amp;#8217;s work on improving lives and capitalizing on emerging opportunities. The State and Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention grants closely align with SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Strategic Initiative on Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness. More information is available at the SAMHSA website: http://www.samhsa.gov/prevention. The State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Cooperative Agreements program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix G &amp;#8211; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Cooperative Agreements is one of SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s services grant programs. SAMHSA intends that its services grants result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the 4th month of the project at the latest. State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Cooperative Agreements grants are authorized under Section 520E of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and are financed solely by 2015 Prevention and Public Health Funds. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD. </Description>

The FY 2015 IPR Program plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal) of a secure and resilient Nation. Delivering core capabilities requires the combined effort of the whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any single organization or level of government; The FY 2015 IPR; allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas; For more information please reference Appendix A - FY2015 IPR Program Priorities.</Description>

        <Description>Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell has pledged that the Department of the Interior DOI will provide 100,000 work and training opportunities to young people within our bureaus and through public private partnerships over the next four years. As a high priority goal the BLM Alaska will continue in their efforts to provide work and training opportunities to youth and young adult to gain land management experience by working with land managers on various projects. BLM Alaska has been very successful in providing opportunities throughout the State of Alaska, which educate and inspire the next generation of conservation leaders. The proposed project is to partner with an organization that can provide youths to assist BLM staff in the development of a GIS database of general travel and transportation for the Eastern Interior Field Office and the Fairbanks District Office assist with the inventory and monitoring of soil erosion and compaction along travel routes and conduct soil surveys, and assist with collection of hydrological data on water courses. Benefits to be achieved through collaboration are resource inventory of soil types and composition characteristics and assessing impacts to soil resources of travel routes and other facility development, development of GIS data bases, and collection of hydrological information from disturbed and non-disturbed streams. Additional benefits for the partner organization are hands on field experience under the guidance of an experienced land manager, technical and safety training; expertise in conservation and natural resources, experience in developing public stewardship and satisfaction from accomplishing important work for the conservation of public lands. A Mentor will be assigned to each intern, if needed. This will help ease the transition into a new remote location and workplace, promote the interns professional growth and assist them in gathering the skills necessary for their future job placements. This project will also provide training activities to improve the expertise of all partners. The BLM and the recipient will seek to work collaboratively to identify and implement projects which would appropriately serve the best interests of the people of the United States. The knowledge and experience received from this program will provide the participant with some insight in determining a career path as well as providing much needed experience for future positions.</Description>

        <Description>The SSAGO is a new component of BJS&amp;#8217;s efforts to collect federal, state, and local data about prosecution and adjudication. The successful applicant will work with BJS to develop three surveys to measure the activities of all state AG offices related to specific topics. The first two surveys will be administered by the award recipient and the resulting data will be provided to BJS. BJS will determine the third topic after the project is awarded. To fulfill these requirements, the successful applicant will gather the information needed to define the key measures for each topic, develop the survey instruments, pretest the instruments with a small sample of state AG offices, prepare the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) package for review and approval, field the first two surveys, and conduct any follow-up activities needed. After completing data collections for each of the first two surveys, the award recipient will provide BJS with a dataset of all responses and its detailed documentation. To help BJS plan for subsequent activities in the SSAGO program, the successful applicant will prepare a report discussing the utility of the data collected and recommending survey content for future iterations beyond the third survey instrument. </Description>

        <Description>The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Network is a national consortium of federal agencies, academic institutions, tribal, state, and local governments, nongovernmental conservation organizations (300 partners). The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) is a cooperative network, transcending political and institutional boundaries, which creates innovative opportunities for research, education, and technical assistance in support of the management and stewardship by partner agencies of the natural, cultural, and social resources. The CESU has a unique collaborative relationship with research scientists, end users of research products, the public, and educators who are trained to bridge the gap between researchers, science users and educators. The AML program is responsible for the closures of thousands physical safety hazards at abandoned mine shafts and adits across the western United States. These hazards need to be controlled to ensure public safety, but abandoned mines provide critically important habitat for more than half of the 46 bat species in the United States. The conservation of bats is extremely important to proper ecosystem function due to their role in pollination, as seed dispersers, and as primary predators of night-flying insects, including many harmful crop pests. BLM-administered lands, particularly in the western U.S., provide essential habitat for more than 80% of the bat species known from the U.S., including endangered species. Oftentimes, the identified physical safety hazard is temporarily closed until biological clearances are completed. The added workload and required expertise for these types of clearances on BLM biologists seriously increases the timeframe from which these public safety hazards can be controlled or closed. Biologists who specialize in bats and underground entry can efficiently assist the AML program with the biological clearances, training, and other tasks for which they are equipped, to support the federal agencies throughout the lifecycle of the AML program. Desired Outcomes may include, but are not limited to, wildlife surveys and reports, research papers, AML and bat education and awareness outreach materials, consultation and assistance in wildlife compatible adit/shaft closures, technical assistance, training, and workshop(s). The BLM&amp;#65533;s AML program at the Washington Office and Bat Conservation International were in a successful five-year assistance agreement from September 2009 to 2014. Over 1,493 AML features were surveyed and during that time and no accidents occurred. Of the 1,493 features surveyed, 170 were recommended for bat compatible gates and other management recommendations for those features were provided. BCI also worked closely with State AML programs and external partners to meet the goals of that agreement &amp;#65533; public safety and bat conservation. In addition to on-the-ground work, BCI managed the graduate research project focused on bat habitat and radon concentrations at abandoned uranium mines. </Description>

        <Description>&amp;quot;The FY 2015 HSGP is comprised of three interconnected grant programs:&amp;#8226; State Homeland Security Program (SHSP): SHSP supports the implementation of risk driven, capabilities-based State Homeland Security Strategies to address capability targets set in Urban Area, State, and regional Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (THIRAs). The capability targets are established during the THIRA process, and assessed in the State Preparedness Report (SPR) and inform planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events.&amp;#8226; Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI): The UASI program addresses the unique risk driven and capabilities-based planning, organization, equipment, training, exercise needs, of high-threat, high-density Urban Areas based on the capability targets identified during the THIRA process and associated assessment efforts, and assists them in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. &amp;#8226; Operation Stonegarden (OPSG): OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among local, tribal, territorial, State, and Federal law enforcement agencies in a joint mission to secure the United States&amp;#8217; borders along routes of ingress from international borders to include travel corridors in States bordering Mexico and Canada, as well as States and territories with international water borders.&amp;quot; </Description>

        <Description>The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) provides funding support for hardening and other physical security enhancements to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of terrorist attack and located within one of the specific Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)-eligible Urban Areas. The program seeks to integrate the preparedness activities of nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of terrorist attack with broader state and local preparedness efforts. The NSGP also serves to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives as well as state and local government agencies. The FY 2015 NSGP plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System by supporting the development and sustainment of core capabilities.; Core capabilities are essential for the execution of each of the five mission areas outlined in the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal); Building and sustaining core capabilities requires the combined effort of the whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any single organization or level of government; The FY 2015 NSGP;s allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas.</Description>

Service-learning projects conducted through these grants must integrate meaningful community service with instruction and reflection that enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and encourage lifelong civic engagement. Training provided through these grants is expected to lead to credentials recognized by in demand industries in the grantee&amp;#146;s geographic area to be served. Through service-learning, returning offenders are offered the opportunity to reestablish community-based trust while enhancing their work-based skills and status in their communities. </Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grants Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#65533;s current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species of greatest conservation need and take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project.</Description>

        <Description>The FY 2015 PSGP is one of the Department&amp;#8217;s FY 2015 grant programs that directly support maritime transportation infrastructure security activities. PSGP is one tool in the comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by the Administration to strengthen the Nation&amp;apos;s critical infrastructure against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks. The vast majority of U.S. maritime critical infrastructure is owned or operated by State, local and private sector maritime industry partners. PSGP funds available to these entities are intended to improve port-wide maritime security risk management; enhance maritime domain awareness; support maritime security training and exercises; and to maintain or reestablish maritime security mitigation protocols that support port recovery and resiliency capabilities. PSGP investments must address U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) identified vulnerabilities in port security and support the prevention, protection, response, and recovery from attacks involving improvised explosive devices (IED) and other non-conventional weapons.</Description>

        <Description>The FY 2015 TSGP is one of DHS&amp;#8217;s Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 grant programs that directly support transportation infrastructure security activities. TSGP is one tool in the comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by the Administration to strengthen the Nation&amp;#8217;s critical infrastructure against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks. TSGP provides funds to eligible publicly owned operators of public transportation (which include intra-city bus, commuter bus, ferries, and all forms of passenger rail) to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism and to increase the resilience of transit infrastructure. The FY 2015 TSGP plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal) of a secure and resilient Nation. Delivering core capabilities requires the combined effort of the whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any single organization or level of government. The FY 2015 TSGP&amp;#8217;s allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research projects that study the mechanisms of oral immune system plasticity relevant to chronic HIV infection and oral coinfections. In this context, we encourage studies on reversal of immune activation, residual inflammation, immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), and microbial and by-product translocation. These conditions occur in persons chronically infected with HIV who are treated with combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) and who also experience oral opportunistic infections. The ultimate goals of this FOA are: 1) to gain knowledge regarding the pathogenesis and persistence of these oral conditions; and 2) to guide the development of novel oral immune modulatory therapies that will aid in re-building the oral immune system to reverse these diseases, mitigate their progression, prevent their occurrence, and eliminate persistence of residual HIV and other oral pathogens in reservoirs.</Description>

Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA.

        <Description>Hundreds of watersheds across Alaska have been mined in the past or are currently being mined or proposed for future mining. Stream reclamation restoration in Alaska is complex and has often failed to achieve stability goals within 10 years post construction. The protracted recovery periods and limited success are due in large part to the absence of baseline data needed for channel design and an over reliance on natural processes to facilitate recovery of disturbed streams. To enhance the probability of restoration success, baseline data on stream function and stream functional lift potential need to be gathered. In addition, regional hydraulic geometry curves need to be developed for Alaska&amp;#65533;s mining districts. Coupled with site specific baseline geomorphic data, this information can greatly enhance stream restoration success and the rehabilitation of fish and wildlife habitat. The testing and adoption of proven stream design techniques, such as Rosgen&amp;#65533;s Natural Channel Design, in Alaska is also essential to developing an effective approach to improving conditions with watersheds degraded by historic or ongoing placer mining.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of HUD&amp;#8217;s Housing Counseling Grant Program is to provide funds that shall be used for providing counseling and advice to tenants and homeowners, both current and prospective, with respect to property maintenance, financial management/ literacy, and such other matters as may be appropriate to assist them in improving their housing conditions, meeting their financial needs, and fulfilling the responsibilities of tenancy or homeownership. Funding provided by this NOFA is intended to support HUD-approved housing counseling agencies to respond flexibly to the needs of residents and neighborhoods, and deliver a wide variety of housing counseling services to homebuyers, homeowners, renters, and the homeless. This NOFA plays an integral role in the continued stabilization of our nation&amp;#8217;s housing market by helping individuals and families obtain housing and stay in their homes through responsible homeownership or affordable rental housing. Traditionally underserved populations, such as minorities, the elderly, veterans, persons with disabilities, persons with limited English proficiency and residents of rural areas, face additional housing and economic challenges. HUD&amp;#8217;s Comprehensive Housing Counseling Grant Program funds housing counselors who provide expert, unbiased guidance and information to help families and individuals meet their housing needs and improve their financial situations. Moreover, HUD grants assist housing counselors to act as an important safeguard against scams and discrimination, and to act as an important gateway to local, state, federal and private housing assistance.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Energy?s (DOE?s) Building Technologies Office (BTO), within the Department?s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), is developing a new research-to-market plan, focused on substantially solving three key technical challenges in the next five years. Successfully meeting these critical challenges will help transform the market for new zero energy ready homes and will lead to significant improvement in the energy efficiency and performance of existing homes across the United States (U.S.). As part of this new research-to-market plan, the BTO?s Building America program seeks feedback on three (3) draft integrated technology-to-market roadmaps that highlight proposed Building America program goals and objectives for each key technical challenge: A. High Performance, Moisture Managed Envelope Systems B. Optimal Comfort Systems for Low Load Homes C. Optimal Ventilation Systems and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Solutions for Low Load Homes Feedback solicited from this RFI related to these draft technology-to-market roadmaps will be used in part to help plan and develop future Building America Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA?s), as the Building America program works to meet its 2030 goals stated below. This is solely a request for information and not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. DOE will not respond to questions related to this RFI. The full RFI document can be accessed under the &amp;quot;FOA Documents&amp;quot; heading below. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to BuildingAmericaRFI@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (ET) on April 30, 2015. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This RFI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. All responses to this RFI must be provided as an attachment (in Microsoft Word format) to an e-mail message addressed to [enter mailbox]@go.doe.gov. Responses must be received no later than 11:59PM EDT on [enter date]. The full content of the announcement can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.</Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grant Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitat, including species that are not hunted or fished. Activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#191;s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan (Wildlife Action Plan) that was to be submitted by October 1, 2005 and must be approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Wildlife Action Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species with the greatest conservation need and taking into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project which directly contributes to the conservation of wildlife species of greatest conservation need and their habitats, and is consistent with the development or implementation of the State&amp;#191;s Wildlife Action Plan.</Description>

        <Description>a. Background: The BLM conducts vegetation treatments in and around public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management Arizona. The vegetation treatments will result in a reduction of hazardous fuels that will protect communities, firefighter and public safety, and improve wildlife habitat or other sensitive resource values. Veterans have benefited from training and development during military service, possess a wide variety of skills and experience, as well as a motivation for public service that will help fulfill Federal staffing needs. It is the policy of this administration to enhance recruitment of and promote employment opportunities for veterans (Executive Order 13518 of November 9, 2009 Employment of Veterans in the Federal Government), and this agreement will provide an opportunity to meet that requirement. b. Objectives: The objective of this agreement is to provide first time and hands on experience for veterans implementing vegetation treatments that will protect communities, provide for firefighter and public safety, and improve wildlife habitat or other sensitive resource values. </Description>

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat. 917 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 669-669b, 669-669k, popularly known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 1938. The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The Congressional Resource Committee had broad support from sportsmen&amp;#191;s organizations who stated that States were not using their possible allotments to support these programs or there was not a consistent level of effort to further the future of hunting. As a result, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to &amp;#191;enhance&amp;#191; existing hunter education or shooting range programs.</Description>

        <Description>This is NOT a request for application. This is just an announcement that the Chesapeake Conservancy has already received an award for their work with High Resolution Land Data. Specifically, the Chesapeake Conservancy will: 1. Develop a 1 meter resolution, 8 class (Water; Tree canopy; Scrub-shrub; Herbaceous/Grass; Barren; Impervious surfaces--roads/other; Impervious surfaces--structures; Impervious surfaces--obscured by tree canopy) land cover dataset, with complete coverage for all counties that intersect the Chesapeake Bay watershed in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. This data will be produced as a seamless dataset covering the entire project area as well as separated individually by county to make it more accessible to local and state partners. 2. Develop accuracy assessments for each county in the project area that describe the overall and in-class accuracy. The accuracy of land cover will be assessed through the visual interpretation of aerial imagery using a stratified random sampling design (stratified by county and class) with a variable point density based on the heterogeneity of the land cover. 3. Deliver mosaic datasets of the source imagery, DEM data, DSM data derived from the LiDAR point cloud, and canopy/structure height layer used in the classification process. Each data product will be provided as a mosaic dataset composed of the individual tiles processed to the extent of the NAIP imagery footprints. 4. Document the methodologies followed in each step&amp;#8212;e.g., data acquisition, processing, quality assurance, and accuracy confirmations&amp;#8212;followed in the generation of the resultant land cover dataset. 5. Work with the Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) to ensure the intended accuracy and eight classes of land cover data are fully consistent with VGIN&amp;#8217;s work being conducted in parallel to acquire land cover data for all of Virginia. </Description>

        <Description>This Request for Applications (RFA) for Bangladesh and Mali provides information on funding opportunities for multi-year development (nonemergency) food assistance programs. Nonemergency programs are mandated in the Food for Peace Act. The programs are designed to improve food access and incomes through agriculture and other livelihoods initiatives; enhance natural resource and environment management; combat under nutrition; especially for children under two and pregnant and lactating women; and mitigate disaster impact through early warning and community preparedness activities. They are increasingly associated with USAID&amp;#8217;s efforts to promote resilience among populations facing chronic poverty and recurrent crises, and the Office of Food for Peace (FFP) continues to play an important role in the development and implementation of USAID&amp;#8217;s resilience policy.</Description>

        <Description>This Initiative provides funding to QFHOs, FHOs, and nonprofit groups organizing to build their capacity in fair housing enforcement, establish new fair housing enforcement organizations and/or provide fair lending enforcement. Under this component, these enforcement organizations will conduct fair housing enforcement activities in underserved areas as defined in &amp;#147;Program Definitions&amp;#148; of this NOFA, rural areas and/or areas with new immigrants (especially racial and ethnic minorities who are not English speaking or have limited English proficiency. There are three components under this FHOI Initiative: the (1) Establishing New Organizations Component, the (2) Continued Development General Component and the (3) Continued Development Mortgage Rescue Scams Component. 1) Establishing New Organizations Component (ENOC): Under this component HUD provides assistance to a FHIP qualified sponsoring organization that will establish a sponsored organization or to an organization to become a viable fair housing enforcement organization that will conduct fair housing activities in underserved areas (as defined in Section I.B. &amp;#147;Program Definitions&amp;#148; of this NOFA) ; rural areas and/or areas with new immigrants (especially racial and ethnic minorities who are not English-speaking or have limited English proficiency). If you are sponsoring an organization, the sponsoring organization must submit the application and must certify that the sponsored organization has the ability to become a FHO. The period of performance for the award of funds to assist in establishment of an organization is 12-18 months. Total funding is awarded to the sponsoring organization who will then distribute funding to the sponsored organization, based upon HUD&amp;#146;s performance criteria. If performance for the sponsored organization falls below &amp;#147;Fair&amp;#148;, the sponsoring organization will immediately notify the HUD GTR of the performance shortfalls and suspend all funding payments to the sponsored organization. The HUD GTR will then conduct a monitoring review of both the sponsored and sponsoring organizations to determine if payment should be reinstated or terminated. (2) Lending Discrimination Component (LDC) : This component will assist organizations that provide assistance to victims of fraud and lending abuse (for example, through counseling, loan workouts, etc.) to build their capacity to provide fair lending assistance and bring Fair Housing Act enforcement actions. (3) Continued Development General Component: This component will assist QFHOs, FHOs, other private nonprofit fair housing enforcement organizations and nonprofit groups in building their fair housing capacity in areas with high concentrations of mortgage scam activities. This component will also assist organizations in setting up fair housing satellite offices in other jurisdictions to enlarge their operations. </Description>

        <Description>The overarching goal of National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP) programs is to decrease the incidence and prevalence of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB among at-risk populations, including adolescents. Timely dissemination of the newest information derived from recent scientific studies on these diseases is imperative, but often it is challenging to reach this goal. Nongovernmental and governmental organizations often wish to hold conferences to provide up-to-date information regarding the aforementioned diseases, but are prohibited by budgetary constraints. Limited resources for disseminating the latest health information and fostering community collaboration and partnerships impedes efforts to effectively reach and impact at-risk populations and persons serving them, thereby increasing the burden of disease and concomitant sequelae in the community at large. In an effort to ease this burden, the purpose of this program is to provide partial support for specific non-Federal conferences focusing on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, TB, and/or adolescent and school health. By the end of the project period, conference attendees are expected to have increased access to the latest evidence-based information related to the focus areas, increased knowledge, and improved professional partnerships.</Description>

        <Description>Maritime Administration Natural Gas Pilot/Demonstration Project Request for Proposals Action: The Maritime Administration Office of Environment is issuing this request for proposals (RFP) for projects that focus on vessel conversion to natural gas in an effort to measure in situ change in criteria pollutant emissions and greenhouse gas emissions before and after the conversion. Background: Over the past several years, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) has been partnering with other government agencies, industry, and academia on efforts to reduce vessel and port air emissions and greenhouse gases as well as support the use of alternative fuels and energy sources. Several MARAD efforts are underway to address emissions reductions, specifically through development of planning and modeling tools and in situ testing of alternative fuels, repowers, and emissions reduction and energy efficiency technology. MARAD recognizes the limited Federal funding opportunities specific to the maritime sector for projects in these areas and proposes to enter into an incentive cooperative agreement to help offset costs. The total amount of funding under the RFP will be $900,000. Eligibility: MARAD is seeking to provide cost share funding through cooperative agreements for US-flagged vessels that operate on inland, coastal waterways, or the Great Lakes. Eligible applicants include vessel owners, operators, or sponsors. Awardees will be expected to complete a natural gas conversion on an existing vessel and measure/document pre- and post-conversion emissions and other operational characteristics via in situ testing methods. Data and information collected must be made available to MARAD and can be used publicly. MARAD intends to use the results/data of the demonstration projects to support further work related to air emissions reduction/alternative fuels research and to assess the public benefit of possible incentives to encourage adoption of emissions reduction and alternative fuels in the marine sector. MARAD will not fund more than 50% of the total cost of the project. Successful proposals must include a detailed description of the project that provides: &amp;#8226; Project plan that lays out the milestones for conversion and testing. &amp;#8226; Plan and procedures for conducting emissions testing. &amp;#8226; Vessel class, engine type, and size. &amp;#8226; Operation specifics and area (including ports serviced, waterway used, frequency of operation, cargo carried). &amp;#8226; LNG supplier and location from which LNG will be secured. &amp;#8226; The identity of project partners and their role within the project. &amp;#8226; Identification of natural gas infrastructure and supply to support refueling needs. &amp;#8226; Detailed cost share analysis. Proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria: &amp;#8226; Amount of time necessary to complete the conversion (preference may be given to conversions that can be completed within approximately 12 months of the time of award). &amp;#8226; Amount of time necessary to complete emissions testing (emissions testing must be completed within 12 months after the conversion, and the agreement completed and payments made before September 30, 2018). &amp;#8226; Extent and commitment of partnerships and use of partnering resources. &amp;#8226; Ability to cost share. &amp;#8226; Extent of annual vessel operation (e.g. MARAD is ideally seeking conversion of a commercial vessel that operates at least 3000 hours annually). &amp;#8226; Level of detail of the plan and procedures for emission testing process including identification of the organization that will be used to complete the task. &amp;#8226; Identification of infrastructure to serve as a refueling source. NOTE: Proposals are limited to 15 pages maximum (including any appendices/attachments). Any proposal that exceeds this requirement will not be considered. Any proposal that does not clearly address the evaluation criteria will not be considered. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency&amp;#8217;s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO) is announcing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for applicants to provide the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partners with a proposal for supporting projects proposed by CBP&amp;#8217;s Goal Implementation Teams (GITs), designated Work Groups, and Action Teams to meet their responsibilities, targets, outcomes and goals under the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. The GITs, designated Work Groups, and Action Teams are the primary organizations responsible for coordinating CBP activities under the Agreement (http://www.chesapeakebay.net/chesapeakebaywatershedagreement/page). This includes development of management strategies for reaching programmatic goals and outcomes. The management strategies require data collection and analysis, metrics development, measurement, economic analysis, meeting facilitation, and other types of work. This RFP is seeking cost-effective proposals from eligible applicants for establishing and administering a program to support projects proposed by the GITs. CBP partners include federal agencies, seven watershed jurisdictions, and many non-federal organizations; however, work funded under this RFP will support the seven watershed jurisdictions and other non-federal partners. The seven watershed jurisdictions are Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.</Description>

        <Description>The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) supports federal projects and grants aimed at jump-starting achievement of GLRI long term goals: safely eating the fish and swimming at our beaches, assuring safe drinking water, and providing a healthy ecosystem for fish and wildlife. The GLRI was announced in May of 2009 as part of the President&amp;apos;s FY2010 budget. To guide this work, federal agencies have drafted GLRI Action Plan II, which summarizes the actions that federal agencies plan to implement during the years 2015-2019. Information about the GLRI, including agency-by-agency funding allocations, and general descriptions of the work that&amp;#8217;s planned, is posted at http://greatlakesrestoration.us/.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is soliciting project proposals for federal assistance under the GLRI - Endangered Species Template (GLRI-ES). The GLRI - ES provides grants and other assistance on a competitive basis to individuals, groups, and government agencies engaged in voluntary conservation efforts to benefit species listed or proposed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), candidate species, or other at-risk species within the Great Lakes Basin of the United States. The Service will award grants for actions and activities that protect, restore, and enhance habitats that benefit federally listed, proposed, or candidate species. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the HCV FSS program is to promote the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of assistance under the HCV program with public and private resources to enable participating families to increase earned income and financial literacy, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance, and make progress toward economic independence and self-sufficiency. The FSS program and this FSS NOFA support the Department&amp;#146;s strategic goal of utilizing housing as a platform for improving quality of life by helping HUD-assisted renters increase economic security and self-sufficiency. The FSS program provides critical tools that can be used by communities to help families develop new skills that will lead to economic self-sufficiency. As a result of their participation in the FSS program, many families have achieved stable employment. An FSS program coordinator assures that program participants are linked to the supportive services they need to achieve self-sufficiency. In addition to working directly with families, an FSS Program Coordinator is responsible for building partnership with employers and service providers in the community to help participants obtain jobs and services. FSS Program Coordinators must ensure that the services included in contracts of participation of program participants are provided on a regular, ongoing and satisfactory basis, that participants are fulfilling their responsibilities under the contracts and that FSS escrow accounts are established and properly maintained for eligible families.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The BLM conducts population and habitat monitoring of Sonoran desert tortoise at previously established, 1 square mile, long term monitoring plots in the Tortilla and Maricopa Mountains of south central Arizona to determine current population and habitat status and trend using established protocols. Methods consist of mark/recapture surveys. Individual desert tortoises will be located, mapped, marked, measured and evaluated for presence of disease indicators. Habitat parameters, including vegetative composition will be measured and the presence of potential tortoise and habitat stressors will be documented and assessed. Data will establish current population demographic composition, presence of disease, recruitment, habitat conditions and presence and magnitude of threats to the population and habitat. Data will be compared with previous years and summarized in a monitoring report. b. Objectives: Determine current population demographic composition, presence of disease, recruitment, habitat composition and condition, and presence and magnitude of threats to the population and habitat at 2 locations in the Sonoran Desert following established protocols. Compare current conditions with historical data to determine trends and disseminate information to Arizona Interagency Desert Tortoise Team members. </Description>

        <Description>Environmental exposure induced perturbations of epigenomic marks are correlated with disease pathogenesis.Identifying changes in epigenomic marks (e.g., DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin accessibility) in affected tissues/cells is not always feasible in humans. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to establish a consortium that will explore the conservation of perturbations of epigenomic marks across target tissues/cells and surrogate tissues/cells using mouse models of environmentally relevant diseases. Ultimately, these analyses will provide insights into the design and interpretation of human studies where target tissues are inaccessible. </Description>

        <Description>National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them. These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation. This Task Agreement focuses on planning, administration, public outreach, media, and demonstration projects that are identified in the management plan for the Mormon Pioneer NHA and serve a public purpose under P.L. No. 109-338, 120 Stat. 1738. </Description>

The list of State and Territory Commissions can be found here: http://www.nationalservice.gov/about/contact-us/state-service-commissions Direct Applicants Single State Applicants directed by their State Commission to apply directly to CNCS should do so. Please note that, after reviewing applications, CNCS may discuss with the State Commission awarding the grant to the Commission in order for the Commission to award a sub-grant to the applicant. Alternatively, CNCS may award the grant directly to the successful applicant, but also may work cooperatively with the State Commission to oversee and monitor performance of the grant. Multi-state: Organizations that propose to operate AmeriCorps programs in more than one state or territory apply directly to CNCS.Federally-recognized Indian Tribes: May apply directly to CNCS or through a state commission. Territories without Commissions: Applicants in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands apply directly to CNCS because these Territories have not established a State Commission.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This funding opportunity is a program jointly sponsored by the Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to create a Youth Opportunity AmeriCorps. This program is consistent with the missions of OJJDP and CNCS, and within the objectives of the My Brother&amp;#8217;s Keeper initiative. CNCS defines Opportunity Youth as economically disadvantaged1 individuals age 16-24 who are disconnected from school or work at least six months prior to service. CNCS defines &amp;#8220;disconnected from school or work&amp;#8221; as unemployed, underemployed, and not in school for at least six months prior to service. This program is specifically targeting Opportunity Youth that have been adjudicated in the juvenile justice system. This program will provide Disconnected Youth with the opportunity to participate in a national service program and provide them with meaningful mentoring while they are serving. Disconnected Youth is defined as individuals at least 17 but under 25 years old who have been adjudicated in the juvenile justice system, convicted in the criminal justice system, or have been identified as at risk of incarceration.Grant funding and member slots will be awarded to successful applicants to enroll Disconnected Youth, specifically individuals who are at least 17 but under 25 years old who have been adjudicated in the juvenile justice system, convicted in the criminal justice system, or identified as at-risk of incarceration, to serve as AmeriCorps members. Recipients will also need to enroll additional members to provide mentoring and coaching to the Disconnected Youth members throughout their service. Programs should target recruitment of two distinct types of AmeriCorps members: 1. Disconnected Youth who will be engaged in direct service to address a compelling community need. Disconnected Youth may serve as full-time or less than full-time members. 2. Individuals who will have mentoring experience and/or applicable life experience to serve as mentors for Disconnected Youth. In addition to providing direct service that addresses the community need, these AmeriCorps members will provide direct service as coaches and mentors to guide and to support the successful participation of the Disconnected Youth members in the program and position them for success after their service ends. The program may enroll individuals over age 25 in this capacity, and members may be full-time or less than full-time.Program objectives will include: &amp;#8226; Engaging AmeriCorps members in an evidence-based or evidence-informed approach to provide a service intervention that will result in intended solutions to community problems. &amp;#8226; Matching Disconnected Youth AmeriCorps members with the one-on-one mentoring and support services needed to establish a self-sustaining, law abiding life and successfully reintegrate into the community. &amp;#8226; Developing and implementing comprehensive and collaborative member development strategies that address the challenges posed by offender reentry, recidivism reduction, and youth at risk of incarceration. &amp;#8226; Stabilizing communities by reducing recidivism and reintegrating offenders into the community. Proposed programs should: &amp;#8226; Establish and maintain a mentoring relationship between the experienced member(s) and the Disconnected Youth AmeriCorps members. &amp;#8226; Be cognizant of and collaborate with other entities that also provide reentry or reentry-related activities. This includes engagement with probation and parole offices for partnerships, collaboration, and sharing of data and information if the members are court involved. </Description>

        <Description>The Alumni Affairs Division of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the administration of the FY 2015 International Exchange Alumni Enrichment Seminars. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to conduct eight to twelve regional or sub-regional enrichment seminars for U.S. government-sponsored people-to-people exchange program alumni, focused on thematic topics that support U.S. foreign policy priorities and that foster a sense of shared identity, networking, and dialogue among participating alumni.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for R34 applications seeks to support: (a) pilot and/or feasibility testing of innovative new, revised, or adapted prevention intervention approaches to prevent or delay the initiation and onset of drug and alcohol use, the progression to problem use or alcohol and other substance use disorder, reduce drinking and driving and deaths related to impaired driving andthe drug- or alcohol-related acquisition or transmission of HIV infection and viral hepatitis among diverse populations and settings; and (b) pre-trial feasibility testing for prevention services and systems research. It is expected that research conducted via this R34 mechanism will consist of early stage efficacy, effectiveness or services research that will provide intervention pilot and/or feasibility data that is a pre-requisite for preparing and submitting subsequent applications for larger scale drug or alcohol abuse prevention and/or drug- or alcohol-related HIV prevention intervention studies. This R34 FOA does not support applications for which the sole focus is development of intervention protocols, manuals, or the standardization of protocols; rather, any development work must be imbedded within a pilot/feasibility study.Of particular interest are prevention interventions targeting the healthcare system. </Description>

        <Description>The Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA), enacted July 29, 2010, requires the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to establish and implement a tribal data collection system (P.L. 111- 211, 124 Stat. 2258, &amp;#167; 251(b)). Coverage of Indian country crime and criminal justice statistics is an important priority for BJS and the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). BJS maintains more than 40 different data series, some of which provide information on crime and the criminal justice response in Indian country. BJS intends to expand its portfolio on Indian country to provide more useful and current information on crime and criminal justice response in tribal justice systems. Approximately every 4 years, BJS conducts the Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA). CSLLEA provides data on over 18,000 state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies operating in the United States. CSLLEA captures data on each agency&amp;#8217;s number of sworn and civilian personnel and the law enforcement functions each agency performs. The 2008 CSLLEA collected data from 178 tribal law enforcement agencies operating in Indian country and provided a profile of tribal law enforcement by type of agency, the number of full-time sworn employees, population and reservation sizes, operating costs per resident, and functions performed on a regular basis. The information was published in Tribal Law Enforcement, 2008 (NCJ 234217, BJS web, June 2011). The 2014 CSLLEA, which is currently in the field, will collect similar information in addition to data on race and Hispanic origin of full-time sworn personnel, employment and transitional services provided to military veterans, special recruitment efforts, the number of hires and separations by type, the number of civilian deaths by cause of death, types of technology used by the agency, and characteristics of the agency&amp;#8217;s dispatch center. These data will be collected from all of the more than 18,000 state, local, and tribal agencies nationwide; however, tribal law enforcement data will be limited as the 2014 CSLLEA is designed to collect the same information from all agencies.</Description>

The project is in collaboration with several federal and state government organizations, which includes: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Utah Department of Environmental Quality, New Mexico Environment Department, Bureau of Land Management &amp;#65533; Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico State Offices, U.S. Forest Service &amp;#65533; Regions 2, 3 and 4, and Environmental Protection Agency &amp;#65533; Region 8. The project, the Intermountain West Data Warehouse, is to facilitate air quality planning, in particular planning under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), related to oil and gas development in the region. This effort is intended to make NEPA projects more consistent, more efficient and more cost effective while making better information more readily available to the public. The primary objectives are to: &amp;#65533; Utilize the unique skills, resources, and expertise of each entity (NPS and CSU-CIRA) to better understand the relationship between air pollution emissions, meteorology and concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere and a better understanding of atmospheric processes like transport, chemical conversion and deposition. This will be accomplished through operation and maintenance of a data warehouse previously developed by CSU-CIRA and the further creation of tools to analyze and quality assure air quality data housed there, as well as provide an efficient means for accessing large data sets that are inputs to air quality models for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other planning activities. &amp;#65533; Enhance coordination and collaboration between NPS and CSU-CIRA. &amp;#65533; Improve through this project access to data that are up-to-date, comprehensive and of known and documented quality. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT &amp;#65533; Maintain and operate the data warehouse, keeping it up-to-date as to software and hardware; &amp;#65533; Comply with operational criteria established by the interagency Oversight Committee of the Intermountain West Data Warehouse Project in coordination with NPS; &amp;#65533; Collaborate with WESTAR which is providing coordination assistance to the project; &amp;#65533; Ensure project is fully leveraged with another similar NPS project, the Federal Land Manager Environmental database (FED); &amp;#65533; Provide regular brief progress reports and a summary of next steps to the NPS Contracting officer and the Agreements Technical Representative; &amp;#65533; Make status reports to the Oversight Committee of the Intermountain West Data Warehouse Project at least annually; &amp;#65533; Develop and deliver training and support on the use of the data warehouse on an as needed basis; &amp;#65533; Appropriately document the structure of the data warehouse to ensure continuity and openness. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: &amp;#65533; Continue to participate in project implementation, providing regular input throughout; &amp;#65533; Provide data and work products like air quality modeling output with appropriate documentation for populating the data warehouse; &amp;#65533; Provide feedback on deliverables as they are available; &amp;#65533; Provide financial support to CSU-CIRA for work performed as outlined in this agreement; &amp;#65533; Interactively work with CSU-CIRA through operation and maintenance of the data warehouse and as tools are added over time. &amp;#65533; Assign (name) as Agreement Technical Representative (ATR) &amp;#65533; Supply funding as described SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#65533; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#65533; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#65533; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#65533; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This is a Task Agreement (P13ACXXXXX) under Cooperative Agreement (XXXX) in the amount of $XXX with a period of performance from date of award until XX/XX/XXXX. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State Univeristy and the National Park Service is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network&amp;quot;. Also, on the SF 424 forms that the partner sponsored programs office fills out for each project, requires a CFDA number - 15.945, which is the number associated with the CFDA Title: COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND TRAINING PROGRAMS - RESOURCES OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE (CESU). STATUTORY AUTHORITY A. 54 USC 101702(a) previously 16 U.S.C.&amp;#65533;1g NPS authority to enter into cooperative agreements and transfer appropriated funds to nonprofit organization for the public purpose of NPS programs.

        <Description>The National Wildlife Refuge Association proposes to work with the National Wildlife Refuge System through a Cooperative Agreement to invest $1 million of construction funding in four urban refuges. The refuges have been selected because they are developing innovative urban outreach programs, have a level of readiness to be able to maximize capital investments, and are in cities that America looks toward to set trends. The Refuge Association will assist the Service in developing state-of-the-art infrastructure projects at each of the four refuges, and the Association would seek to complement capital investments by the Service with capital and program capacity funding to bring these facilities alive with programs for urban families experiencing our National Wildlife Refuge System and the mission of the USFWS.</Description>

        <Description>Environmental exposure induced perturbations of epigenomic marks have been correlated with multiple aspects of disease pathogenesis.In 2012, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences established the multi-phased Toxicant Exposures and Responses by Genomic and Epigenomic Regulators of Transcription (TaRGET) Program to further address the role of the environment in disease susceptibility as a function of changes to the epigenome.The first phase of this program, TaRGET I (RFA-ES-12-008 TaRGET I: Chromatin Structure, Genomics, and Transcriptional Responses to the Environment) solicited and funded applications pursuing research objectives aimed at understanding environmental influences on epigenetic mechanisms and transcriptional regulation. These grants consider the impact of environmental toxicants on the following processes: nucleosome positioning, chromatin accessibility, chromatin remodeling and the role of non-coding RNAs. The NIEHS has also awarded a number of unsolicited grants in the past two years with specific aims that are compatible with the stated goals of the TaRGET I FOA using a variety of model systems.However, identifying changes in epigenomic marks, (DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin accessibility) in tissues/cells affected by disease relevant environmental exposures as a research strategy is not always feasible in humans. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to establish The TaRGET Data Coordination Center to participate in the TaRGET II Consortium (T2C) which will assess the utility of surrogate tissue epigenomic analysis as a means to examine the role of environmental exposures on epigenomic marks. The role of the TaRGET DCC will be to collect, store, curate, and display all data, metadata, and analysis tools generated by members of the T2C. This FOA is published in parallel with a companion FOA, RFA-ES-15-001 &amp;quot;TaRGET II: Environmental Epigenomic Analysis in Tissue Surrogates (U01)&amp;quot;. Projects funded by these FOAs will collectively form the TaRGET II Consortium (T2C) and will develop a publically accessible database that provides data to the broader scientific community on the conservation of environmental exposure induced epigenomic changes in target tissues and cells and selected surrogates. The T2C will be charged with establishing models that can predict and understand exposures/conditions that will be informative. These models will be developed by the research projects supported by awards from the companion RFA (RFA-ES-15-001, U01, TaRGET II: Environmental Epigenomic Analysis in Tissue Surrogates).</Description>

        <Description>The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the Department, or we), announces the availability of approximately $10 million in grant funds authorized by Section 171(c)(2) of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) and section 169 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) for grants to State Workforce Agencies (SWA) for the Workforce Data Quality Initiative (WDQI). With the passage of the WIOA, WDQI grants become even more vital as states move towards developing and building a more integrated data structure and develop consumer-friendly displays (i.e., scorecards) of program outcome information. WIOA expands on WIA by weaving data collection from both DOL and the Department of Education (ED) in a manner that is unique for the workforce system. Furthermore, we will encourage grantees to align and integrate data systems to support program management, performance reporting, and common case management systems. Additionally, grantees should focus on designing information technology systems which reduce burden and present integrated information to support service provision and inform customer choice. We further encourage grantees to use grant funds to expand access to comprehensive information sharing tools that enable both participants and employers to access programmatic outcomes. The Department has reserved up to 3 percent of this round&amp;#8217;s total grant funding (a maximum amount of approximately $300,000) to provide technical assistance to grantees in developing and implementing their State workforce longitudinal administrative databases. For the remainder of this document, we will interchangeably refer to the databases created as &amp;#8220;workforce longitudinal administrative databases&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;workforce longitudinal databases.&amp;#8221; Grants awarded will provide SWAs the opportunity to develop or expand State workforce longitudinal administrative databases. The State workforce longitudinal databases will, at a minimum: 1) include information on programs that provide training, employment services, and unemployment insurance; 2) connect with education data contained in Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) databases; 3) be linked at the individual level to allow for the evaluation of federally and State-supported education and workforce programs; 4) be capable of generating workforce training provider performance information and outcomes in a standardized, easy to understand format (e.g., scorecards), consistent with all applicable Federal and State privacy laws; and 5) lead to better information for customers and stakeholders of the workforce system. Where such longitudinal systems do not exist or are in early development, WDQI grant assistance may be used to design and develop these databases. WDQI grant assistance can also be used to improve upon existing State workforce longitudinal databases. This FOA provides a description of the application submission requirements, outlines the process that eligible entities must use to apply for funds covered by this FOA, and details how grantees will be selected. Additional background information on the WDQI is available at http://www.doleta.gov/performance/workforcedatagrant09.cfm. </Description>

        <Description>The Career Development Award supports early-career, independent investigators to conduct impactful research under the mentorship of an experienced lung cancer researcher as an opportunity to obtain the funding, mentoring, and experience necessary for productive, independent careers at the forefront of lung cancer research. This award is intended to support impactful research projects with an emphasis on discovery. Submissions from and partnerships with investigators at military treatment facilities, military labs, and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers and research laboratories are strongly encouraged. Key elements of this award are as follows: &amp;#8226; Principal Investigator (PI): PIs must be research- or physician-scientists at an early stage of their independent research careers. PIs must be within 5 years of their first faculty appointment (or equivalent), and exhibit a strong desire to pursue a career in lung cancer research. &amp;#8226; Mentorship: The mentor must be an experienced lung cancer researcher as demonstrated by a strong record of funding and publications in lung cancer research. In addition, the mentor must demonstrate a commitment to developing the PI&amp;#8217;s career in lung cancer research. &amp;#8226; Career Development: A Career Development Plan is required and should be prepared with appropriate guidance from the mentor. A clearly articulated strategy for acquiring the necessary skills, competence, and expertise to have a career at the forefront of lung cancer research should be included. The plan should outline how the PI will gain experience and training in lung cancer research. Because career development is the focus of this award, the PI&amp;#8217;s institution must demonstrate a commitment to the PI through a minimum of 40% protected time for the proposed research, though more protected time is highly desirable. &amp;#8226; Impact: Research that has high potential impact may lead to major advancements and significantly accelerate progress toward eradicating deaths from lung cancer. &amp;#8226; Relevance to Military Beneficiaries: The application should clearly articulate how the proposed research is relevant to Service members, Veterans, and their families.</Description>

        <Description>The Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDP Act) of 2002 directs OJJDP to pursue research that enhances the field&amp;#8217;s understanding of &amp;#8220;juveniles who, prior to placement in the Juvenile Justice system, were under the care or custody of the State Child Welfare system, and juveniles who are unable to return to their family after completing their disposition in the Juvenile Justice system and who remain wards of the State.&amp;#8221; The intent is to generate information on the prevalence and incidence of youth fitting these criteria (i.e., dual system youth) and strategies to improve coordination between the juvenile justice and child welfare systems and improve outcomes for these youth. OJJDP is seeking applications for funding under its Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Design Study of Dual System Youth. This design study (and related case studies) will identify effective and efficient strategies to measure the prevalence of dual system youth; identify the status of coordination and data sharing between the juvenile and criminal justice and child welfare systems (including expanding beyond delinquency or dependency court involvement to potentially include youth contact with law enforcement [e.g., arrests] and child protection agencies [e.g., child welfare cases]); and identify avenues for improved coordination and data sharing across systems.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to explore the impact of increasing freshwater temperatures and shifting river flow regimes. To understand the implications of these changes and provide necessary information to plan for ongoing and future climate change, there is a real need to use empirical data from long-term monitoring studies to summarize how climatic variation or change influences native salmonid fishes and cold water fish assemblages. Research needs to be focused on developing mechanistic models that quantify how climate change has (or has not) directly and/or interactively impacted populations of native salmonids in the Rocky Mountains. Additionally, research should describe how climatic variation has influence fish assemblages in historically cold-water habitats (e.g., areas occupied by trout), particularly changes in the distribution and abundance of non-native species. A significant limitation in identifying such patterns, however, is the disjunct status of existing datasets, both climatological and biological. Compile a region-wide database composed of temporally replicated monitoring data for fish populations occupying cold-water fish habitats (e.g., locations where trout are currently or were found historically), landscape attributes, and climatic variation. Ultimately, these data can be used to address a number of specific questions relevant to native trout management, and more generally, the empirical understanding of the consequences of climate change for freshwater ecosystems.</Description>

        <Description>Proposed activities should support refugees and asylum seekers residing in South Africa with priority areas being urban centers such as Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth, and Pretoria. Urban programs should, where relevant, include efforts to identify and reach out to hidden refugees, identify and build upon existing services (including government services), provide information about and referrals to existing services, establish a clear method and criteria for identifying and assisting the most vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers, adopt a community-based approach that takes into account host community needs, and avoid creating refugee-specific parallel services to what already exists in the community. Priority sectors include protection/legal services, access to existing social services, and livelihoods support.</Description>

        <Description>The LCRP CEA mechanism was first offered in FY13. Since then, 35 CEA applications have been received, and 5 have been recommended for funding. This award mechanism supports early-phase, proof-of-principle clinical trials and correlative studies to investigate hypothesis-based, innovative interventions that have the potential to resolve current clinical barriers and result in a profound impact on the clinical management of lung cancer. While therapeutic approaches proposed for testing through the CEA must represent novel, hypothesis-based, &amp;#8220;outside-the-box&amp;#8221; approaches for treating lung cancer, they may include therapies already in clinical use, or undergoing clinical testing for other diseases, provided that the proposed use for lung cancer would lead to a major advancement for treating the disease. Outcomes from studies funded by this award are anticipated to provide scientific rationale for subsequent development of larger, efficacy-based clinical trials of interventions that will transform lung cancer clinical care. Submissions from and partnerships with investigators at military treatment facilities, military labs, and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers and research laboratories are strongly encouraged. Clinical Trials Category: The CEA supports clinical trials encompassing Phase 0, Phase I, or pilot Phase II for drug or drug combinations, Class II or III devices, or other types of trials that conduct early clinical testing of innovative approaches for lung cancer. Information on clinical trials and phases/classes of study is provided in the &amp;#8220;Human Subject Resource Document&amp;#8221; available for download from eBRAP at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm. Correlative Studies Category: The CEA-Correlative Studies category supports innovative, hypothesis-based, correlative studies that derive from ongoing or completed clinical trials supported by other funding sources. These correlative studies, if successful, will have the potential to significantly inform treatment strategies, identify subsets of patients for treatment with specific therapies, provide increased understanding of biological changes resulting from the intervention in lung cancer, or provide other insight that will significantly enhance clinical management of lung cancer. Examples of correlative studies appropriate for submission to the CEA-Correlative Studies category may include, but are not limited to: &amp;#8226; Analysis of biomarkers for prognosis and/or prediction or assessment of therapeutic response or progression &amp;#8226; Investigations of the mechanism of action or the development of resistance to a drug &amp;#8226; Analysis of immune response or factors associated with progression &amp;#8226; Characterization of tumor antigens for the development of new improved therapies</Description>

        <Description>The Idea Development Award promotes new ideas that are still in the early stages of development and have the potential to yield impactful data and new avenues of investigation. This award supports conceptually innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate progress toward eradicating deaths from lung cancer. Applications should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Submissions from and partnerships with investigators at military treatment facilities, military labs, and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers and research laboratories are strongly encouraged. New Investigators: The FY15 Idea Development Award mechanism encourages applications from independent investigators in the early stages of their careers (i.e., within 10 years of their first faculty appointment, or equivalent). The New Investigator category is designed to allow applicants early in their faculty appointments to compete for funding separately from established investigators. Applications from New Investigators and Established Investigators will be peer and programmatically reviewed separately. Principal Investigators (PIs) using the New Investigator category are strongly encouraged to strengthen their applications by collaborating with investigators experienced in lung cancer research and/or possessing other relevant expertise. It is the responsibility of the applicant to describe how the included collaboration will augment the PI&amp;#8217;s expertise to best address the research question. All applicants for the New Investigator category must meet specific eligibility criteria as described in Section I.D., Eligibility Information. </Description>

        <Description>Background: The BLM Richfield Field Office works together with Utah State Parks, the Forest Service, and private land owners to manage and maintain the Paiute Trail and other motorized trails to provide a unique and seamless experience for users and the public. This trail is over 900 miles long and benefits the local economies of multiple communities, draws in thousands of visitors each year, and helps maintain solid working relationships between the agencies and landowners with cohesive goals to benefit the public through the motorized trail systems. The BLM has worked with and Utah State Parks for the past 5 years to provide maintenance, public outreach, and to improve the trails for the benefit of the public. The BLM Richfield Field Office is seeking proposals to assist with maintenance, education, and monitoring on the Paiute and associated OHV trails. Objective: 1. The partner and BLM will continue to provide monitoring, education, and maintenance on over 150 miles of motorized and Paiute ATV trail on public lands, provide upkeep on kiosks and trailheads, litter removal and to provide a quality experience for thousands of recreational visitors. Areas to be maintained include recreation areas and trailheads associated with the motorized trails. Otter Creek trail access including Fishermans Beach, Tamarisk Point, and South Point. Sauls Meadow, Kingston Canyon, Aurora Open Area, Glenwood Open Area, Bicknelll Bottoms Trailheads, Koosharem Reservoir, and other recreation areas and trailheads along the trails will be maintained. Work would also include public outreach and education, trail work, maintenance, sign installation and maintenance, clearing, improving, and additional work and special projects as needed along the motorized trails on public land connecting communities, state parks, and trailheads. This would ensure a well-marked, signed, and maintained long-distance trail system with adequate support facilities that are open to the general public for recreational motorized vehicle use that is free from conflict with other land users and land owners. Trails would help provide protection for natural resources, respect public and private property, promote responsible use of OHVs and provide an economic boost for surrounding communities. 2. Continue to develop and build the ongoing, long-term, and effective partnership between BLM, local, state and federal agencies, and other interested and affected parties through the implementation of a shared vision. </Description>

        <Description>This FOA has been modified to update the Assets for Independence reporting requirements listed in Section VI.3. Reporting. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Community Services (OCS) will be accepting applications for grants to administer projects for the Assets for Independence (AFI) demonstration program. AFI grantees administer projects that provide individual development accounts (IDAs) and related services to low-income individuals. Participants open an IDA and save earned income that is matched by project funds. The combined participant savings and project matching funds will be used for an allowable asset: a first home, a business, or post-secondary education or training. Projects also assist participants in obtaining the skills and information necessary to achieve economic self-sufficiency. Grantees are encouraged to tailor the strategies and services they offer to the needs of their project participants and the opportunities in their community. Examples of activities in this area include financial education, asset-specific training, financial coaching, credit-building services, credit/debt counseling, and assistance with tax credits and tax preparation. AFI projects must be funded with a combination of the federal AFI grant and cash from non-federal sources. The amount of cash from non-federal sources must be at least equal to the federal AFI grant amount. Applicants must provide documentation of commitment of non-federal funds in their application. Documentation must indicate that non-federal funds are committed for the 5-year grant period as of the date of the application. Specific requirements for this documentation will be included in the funding opportunity announcement.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Opioid Overdose Reversal (ROOR) Grant Program. The purpose of the ROOR program is to reduce the incidences of morbidity and mortality related to opioid overdoses in rural communities through the purchase and placement of emergency devices used to rapidly reverse the effects of opioid overdoses and the training of licensed healthcare professionals and emergency responders on the use of opioid devices. Community partnerships are an important component of this program and can be comprised of local emergency responders as well as other local non-profit and for-profit entities involved in the prevention and treatment of opioid overdoses. In addition, care coordination is essential to efforts in reducing incidences of morbidity and mortality related to opioid overdoses. As a result, this funding opportunity announcement is seeking innovative approaches that involve broad community partnerships which may include referral of individuals to appropriate substance abuse treatment centers where care coordination and communication is facilitated by a team of qualified health care providers. The ROOR goals are to: 1) Purchase naloxone and opioid overdose reversal devices and increase the availability in rural areas through strategic placement; 2) Train licensed healthcare professionals and others using the devices to recognize the signs of opioid overdose, administer naloxone, administer basic cardiopulmonary life support, report results, and provide appropriate transport to a hospital or clinic for continued care after administration; 3) Refer those with a drug dependency to appropriate substance abuse treatment centers where care coordination is provided by a team of providers; and Demonstrate improved and measurable health outcomes, including but not limited to, reducing opioid overdose morbidity and mortality in rural areas.</Description>

        <Description>Under FY14 appropriations to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will implement projects required under the 2014 Interagency Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework (http://asiancarp.us/documents/2014Framework.pdf). The award will support specific activities, and require specific deliverables of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) that only they can conduct and deliver under the 2014 Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework. All work conducted under this agreement will be in Illinois, and only IDNR has authorities to lead those activities, in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency and FWS. This is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources without competition under justification 505DM 2.14 2 and 3. Competition for the award is not practical, because no other entity can conduct the required work. Through the work of the Council on Environmental Quality and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who oversee the integrated program to protect the Great Lakes from the invasion of Asian Carps, continued work (which began in FY 2010), is needed. That work is cooperatively conducted by the (ILDNR), EPA, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Only the ILDNR has the statutory authority to work with other agencies to conduct the needed monitoring, control, outreach, and law enforcement activities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will be substantially involved in projects under this funding opportunity. In particular, the Service will be responsible for the following: cooperating with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the USEPA, the USNOAA, and USGS, to conduct monitoring, control, outreach, and law enforcement activities. All work is designed to continue to prevent the establishment of bighead and silver carps in the Great Lakes.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of these cooperative agreements is to further IHS health program objectives in the AI/AN community with expanded outreach and education efforts for the MSPI and HIV/AIDS programs on a national scale and in the interest of improving Indian health care. This announcement includes two separate awards, each of which will be awarded as noted below. The purpose of the MSPI award is to further the goals of the national MSPI program. The MSPI is a national demonstration project aimed at addressing the dual problems of methamphetamine use and suicide in Indian Country. The MSPI supports an AI/AN community driven focus on the utilization and development of evidence-based and practice-based intervention models that promote a culturally appropriate prevention, treatment, and postvention approach to methamphetamine use and suicide. The six goals of the MSPI are to effectively prevent, reduce, or delay the use and/or spread of methamphetamine use; build on the foundation of prior methamphetamine and suicide prevention and treatment efforts in order to support the IHS, Tribes, and urban Indian health organizations in developing and implementing Tribal and/or culturally appropriate methamphetamine and suicide prevention and early intervention strategies; increasing access to methamphetamine and suicide prevention services; improving services for behavioral health issues associated with methamphetamine use and suicide prevention; promoting the development of new and promising services that are culturally and community relevant; and demonstrating efficacy and impact. The purpose of the HIV/AIDS award is to further the goals of the national HIV/AIDS program. HIV and AIDS are a critical and growing health issue within the AI/AN population. The IHS National HIV/AIDS Program seeks to avoid complacency and to increase awareness of the impact of HIV/AIDS on AI/ANs. All activities are part of the IHS&amp;apos;s implementation plan to meet the three goals of the President&amp;apos;s National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) to reduce the number of people who become infected with HIV, increase access to care and optimize health outcomes for people living with HIV, and reduce HIV-related disparities. This population faces additional health disparities that contribute significantly to the risk of HIV transmission such as substance abuse and sexually transmitted infections. Amongst AI/AN people, HIV/AIDS exists in both urban and rural populations (and on or near Tribal lands); however, many of those living with HIV are not aware of their status. These statistics, risk factors, and missed opportunities for screening illuminate the need to go beyond raising awareness about HIV and begin active integration of initiatives that will help routinize HIV services. If the status quo is unchanged, prevalence will continue to increase and AI/AN communities may face an irreversible problem. Therefore, the National HIV/AIDS Program is working to change the way HIV is discussed, to change and improve the way HIV testing is integrated into health services, and to firmly establish linkages and access to care. The IHS HIV/AIDS Program is implemented and executed via an integrated and comprehensive approach through collaborations across multi-health sectors, both internal and external to the agency. It attempts to encompass all types of service delivery &amp;apos;systems&amp;apos; including IHS/Tribal/Urban facilities. The IHS HIV/AIDS Program is committed to realizing the goals of the President&amp;apos;s NHAS and has bridged the objectives and implementation to the IHS HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan.</Description>

        <Description>Section 865 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 298) as amended by section 5305 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, P.L. 111-148, authorizes grants, in coordination with programs under PHS Act section 753 (Education and Training Relating to Geriatrics) to meet the costs of projects that train and educate individuals in providing geriatric care for the elderly. This legislation authorized the establishment of traineeships for individuals who are preparing for advanced education nursing degrees in geriatric nursing, long-term care, gero-psychiatric nursing or other nursing areas that specialize in the care of the elderly population. Grants to support development of individuals in geriatric education may be used to: 1) Provide training to individuals who will provide geriatric care for the elderly; 2) Develop and disseminate curricula relating to the treatment of the health problems of elderly individuals; 3) Train faculty members in geriatrics; 4) Provide continuing education to individuals who provide geriatric care; or 5) Establish traineeships for individuals who are preparing for advanced education nursing degrees in geriatric nursing, long-term care, gero-psychiatric nursing or other nursing areas that specialize in the care of the elderly population. Projects must provide education and training for individuals providing geriatric care. Applicants are encouraged to use or adapt existing curricula as appropriate to the proposed project rather than expend resources to develop new curricula. Geriatric educational resources are available through entities such as the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing (http://www.hartfordign.org/), Hartford Centers of Excellence in Geriatric Nursing Education (http://www.geriatricnursing.org/centers/), the Administration on Aging (http://www.aoa.gov), and The Long-Term Services and Supports Workforce Competency Model at: http://web.bc.edu/libtools/details.php?entryid=273 and the Veterans Administration (http://www.va.gov). The National Association of Geriatric Education Centers website at http://www.nagec.org/ also provides resources and other useful information. </Description>

        <Description>Please review important information below about the EERE Exchange website as it relates to this FOA. A recent study by Oak Ridge National Lab has shown that there is up to 60 GW of new hydropower development potential available in the United States. Most of the available sites come with challenges with regard to environmental and social sustainability and cost effective development. To address these challenges, DOE?s Water Program initiated a new technology program, HydroNEXT to focus on hydropower technology innovation that will foster development of potential new hydropower capacity in the U.S. The HydroNEXT effort continues in 2015, through this FOA, aimed at the development of suitable technologies to overcome environmental, social, and LCOE challenges. DOE will solicit innovative ideas to harness hydropower that can be rapidly built, removed, and replaced when necessary. Applicants will be encouraged to provide new concepts for alternative hydropower systems that will lower costs of civil infrastructure development, can be deployed in a maximum of 2 years with relatively low environmental impacts, and can be removed or replaced after their intended life is completed. These concepts and systems will be able to operate at a cost that is competitive with traditional sources of generation. The three topic areas covered by this FOA are outlined below: Topic Area 1: Design and laboratory testing of new rapidly deployable hydropower technologies that can be easily removed or replaced at the end of their useful life, including, but not limited to, water impounding structures, water conveying systems, and innovative pre-fabricated structures.

        <Description>Missouri State University (MSU) will collaborate with the Ohio River Restoration NRDA Technical Committee to propagate and restore native freshwater mussels to the Ohio River. In 2015, MSU will work with the following species: Truncilla truncata and Ellipsaria lineolata: Broodstock will be provided by WVDNR and ORINWR. MSU will acquire freshwater drum if they are available, and will propagate and grow out the juveniles to taggable size. They may also receive additional transformed juveniles from Genoa NFH for grow out. Cyprogenia stegaria (federally endangered species) : Broodstock will be provided by KYDFWR or TN Tech, in coordination with KYDFWR. MSU will acquire logperch to use as host fish, and will propagate and grow out the juveniles to taggable size. Ligumia recta: MSU will receive newly transformed juveniles of Ligumia recta from Genoa NFH, and will grow them out to taggable size. This is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to the Missouri State University Department of Biology without competition under justification 505DM 2.14, 4. Competition for the award is not practical as Dr. Chris Barnhart, Biology Department, Missouri State University, is an expert in propagation and rearing of mussel species, including federally listed species. Because the Mussel Facility/Dr. Barnhart at MSU is Federally Permitted to hold and handle federally listed mussel species, and well equipped for successful rearing of listed mussel species, a sole source award is justified. Substantial involvement on the part of the Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the activities to be funded. In particular, the Service will be responsible for the following: reviews Scope of Work and approves prior to beginning next stage of work; directs the work as part of larger restoration project; FWS staff attends meetings and visits to provide oversight for mussel propagation. As part of larger collaborative effort, transformed mussel juveniles will be provided by Genoa NFH.</Description>

        <Description>Digital Projects for the Public grants support projects that significantly contribute to the public&amp;#8217;s engagement with the humanities. Digital platforms&amp;#8212;such as websites, mobile applications and tours, interactive touch screens and kiosks, games, and virtual environments&amp;#8212;can reach diverse audiences and bring the humanities to life for the American people. The program offers three levels of support for digital projects: grants for Discovery projects (early-stage planning work), Prototyping projects (proof-of-concept development work), and Production projects (end-stage production and distribution work). While projects can take many forms, shapes, and sizes, your request should be for an exclusively digital project or for a digital component of a larger project. </Description>

RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Support an integrated effort with the USGS to map and check the maps for two Gulf Coast Network parks &amp;#65533; JELA and NATR, detailed below. Specifically, the project manager will organize the most efficient, cost-effective approach to provide support for the vegetation mapping and accuracy assessment of the vegetation map for the Jean LaFitte National Historic Park and Preserve (JELA) and the Natchez Trace Parkway (NATR) during the FY15, and FY16 fiscal years. These roles and tasks correspond with those provided by the USGS (UMESC) in their draft study plan submitted in June 2014 for the Gulf Coast I&amp;amp;M Network. Two attached SOW proposals from NatureServe for JELA and NATR define the specific steps to the tasks summarized below. Duties will focus on: 1. JELA Task 2 &amp;#65533; Orientation / Classification meetings and Development of Preliminary Map Classifications. (Task 1 does not have a NatureServe component) 2. JELA Task 3 &amp;#65533; Field Reconnaissance, Ground truthing, and Field Verification 3. JELA Task 4 &amp;#65533; Develop Map Classification (+Subcontract with Louisiana Natural Heritage Program &amp;#65533; local collaborator) 4.

        <EligibleApplicants>25</EligibleApplicants>
        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are current SAMHSA-funded SCNs, SFNs, and RCSP&amp;#8211;SNs in the ten states where there is an RCSP-SN award (see Appendix III of the RFA).  The applicant must partner with other currently SAMHSA-funded network grants in the state.  In states that do not have a current SAMHSA-funded SCN or SFN grant, the applicant must contact the former SAMHSA-funded SCN or SFN grantee to offer them an opportunity to be a partner in this grant.  The former grantees must have had a SAMHSA SCN or SFN award within the last three years and must still be an active network within the state.  Documentation that the former SAMHSA-funded SCN or SFN is still active must be included in Attachment 5.  If the former SAMHSA-funded SCN or SFN does not want to participate in the collaborative, documentation in the form of a signed letter from the President of the Board of Directors stating that the organization does not want to be involved must be included in Attachment 6.  Only one application may be submitted per state.    &amp;#8195;  The purpose of this program is to link formal statewide substance abuse recovery networks with formal statewide networks representing mental health consumers and families to represent a single voice for behavioral health statewide.  SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s current RCSP-SNs and current and formerly funded SFNs, and SCNs have been working throughout their states to establish sustainable mechanisms that promote systems change in mental health and substance abuse recovery service delivery.  Because these grantees have established networks in place in their respective domains, they are best positioned to link these networks in order to increase access to and quality of behavioral health systems, services, treatment and recovery supports statewide.  Only currently funded SAMHSA Network grantees in the ten states with a RCSP-SN award (see Appendix III of the RFA) may apply because only these states have the requisite substance abuse recovery and mental health networks to link and partner.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) and Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 Statewide Peer Networks for Recovery and Resiliency (Short Title: Statewide Peer Networks for R&amp;amp;R) grants. The purpose of this grant program is to create and/or enhance statewide networks that represent mental health and addictions recovery communities to improve access to and the quality of behavioral health systems, services, treatment and recovery supports statewide. Formal SAMHSA-funded networks already exist in many states for specific recovery and family communities; this program is designed specifically to bridge and unify recovery networks for mental health consumers, families of children with serious emotional disturbance and youth, as well as those in recovery from addictions. Current SAMHSA-funded Recovery Community Services Program-Statewide Networks (RCSP-SNs), and current and formerly-funded Statewide Consumer Networks (SCNs) grants and Statewide Family Networks (SFNs) will work together to enhance and promote cross-service system, peer workforce, and infrastructure development that is recovery-focused and resiliency-oriented. This program builds on the FY 2014 program for RCSP-SNs, SFNs, and SCNs to develop intentional, collaborative efforts via Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) and sharing of fiscal resources. The intent of this program is for RCSP-SN, SFN, and SCN grantees within a state to form a collaboration that will develop a strategic plan, share resources, engage in cross-training, increase capacity to affect behavioral health systems change at the state and local levels, and to improve behavioral health outcomes for persons in recovery from serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders, and family members of children with serious emotional disturbances and youth/young adults. Statewide Peer Networks for R&amp;amp;R are authorized under Sections 509 and 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses both Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA and Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD. </Description>

        <Description>Background: Since 1998, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has funded support for the development of the Economic Profile System (EPS). The purpose of the application was to simplify and standardize the task of collecting social and economic data. Since its initial development, this software application has run through Microsoft Excel and has continually evolved and been refined. The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) joined BLM in funding a major redevelopment of this application, resulting in the application known as the Economic Profile System-Human Dimensions Toolkit (EPS-HDT). Originally developed by the Sonoran Institute, EPS-HDT is now maintained and distributed by Headwaters Economics, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve community development and land management decisions in the West. The Headwaters Economics staff includes the project team that developed EPS while at the Sonoran Institute. The BLM currently contracts with Headwaters Economics to transition EPS-HDT from a web-enabled software application that uses a Microsoft Excel Add-in, to a web-based application. This transition will be complete around June 2015. Support for the web-based application will continue under the contract through the existing performance period (July 2015). Upon release of the web-based version of the tool, Headwaters Economics would like to refer to the product as &amp;quot;EPS-web&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;EPS-HDT.&amp;quot; The current version of EPS-HDT is a free, publicly available, web-enabled software application that works within Microsoft Excel (versions 2003, 2007, and 2010), while the EPS-HDT databases reside on a web server hosted by Headwaters Economics. The software consists of an &amp;quot;Add-In,&amp;quot; which appears in the Excel menu bar. EPS-HDT can produce up to 14 standardized economic, demographic, and land use reports for a selected State, region, county or metro/non-metro area in any of the 50 States. EPS-HDT simplifies the socio-economic research required for land use planning by gathering and presenting, in a variety of useful formats, data from multiple federal databases. The tool was created to improve planning by efficiently accomplishing the time consuming task of gathering important social and economic data. EPS-HDT is also used throughout the BLM to facilitate public involvement in land use planning. The tool has additionally facilitated a relationship with the BLM&amp;apos;s public by fostering discussion on economic conditions, trends, and opportunities on public lands. More information about the software can be found at: http://headwaterseconomics.org/tools/eps-hdt. EPS-HDT is included on BLM&amp;apos;s National Configuration Management Baseline, authorizing its use on all BLM desktops (VDD-04s559-03.00-11/22/2011). Both application and data are in the public domain. EPS-HDT contains no BLM or Privacy Act data. Objectives: Support the operation and maintenance of EPS-web and additional enhancements to the product over the life of the agreement which could include, but are not limited to, enhancing a geographic component of the tool, incorporating reports that address environmental justice or other specified socioeconomic topic, or other improvement or addition as determined by changes in agency needs and the public interests. Public Benefit: EPS-web will provide the public with direct access to the tool at no charge. This includes comprehensive information from various federal databases, thereby enhancing opportunities for the public to engage as partners in land use planning and empowering the public to access data. In its web-based format, the tool provides long-term cost savings and increased functionality for all users.</Description>

        <Description>International trade is a threat to the survival of all eight pangolin species as a result of over-exploitation of these species for traditional medicine and food. Pangolins have been included in the Appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) since the treaty was first enacted, and although all range countries of the four Asian pangolin species have zero export quotas, illegal international trade in pangolins continues to occur. African range countries have no export quotas for African pangolin species, and the reduced availability of Asian species for legal international trade has put increased pressure on African pangolins. Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in seizures of large volumes of illegal shipments of African pangolins and their parts and products.In a recent species assessment for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Pangolin Specialist Group found all eight pangolin species to be threatened with extinction. Of the four Asian species, two were classified as Critically Endangered and two as Endangered. As a result of discussions and action concerning pangolin international trade and conservation, on December 8, 2014, at the 2014 meetings of the CITES Animals and Standing Committees, the CITES Secretariat issued CITES Notification to the Parties No. 2014/059 requesting all CITES Parties to collect information on the conservation of and trade in pangolins through a questionnaire survey instrument.Program Goal: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is providing this funding opportunity to plan, organize, and manage a workshop in collaboration with the Government of Vietnam in order to facilitate international cooperation on pangolin conservation. The Service seeks to provide a venue for pangolin range countries and governmental wildlife and enforcement agencies, non-governmental organizations and pangolin experts to present and discuss the latest pangolin population and international trade information in order to respond to CITES-prescribed calls for information and action. In addition, the Service seeks to provide an opportunity for developing a unified action plan to protect pangolin species against over-exploitation as a result of international trade. The Government of Vietnam has offered to collaborate on organization of the workshop, and therefore the Service seeks to support a workshop to be held in Vietnam. Participation of the Asian and African Range countries&amp;#65533; and species experts is critically needed to meet the workshop objectives to ensure international cooperation from all stakeholders working for pangolin conservation.</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the Department, or we), announces the availability of approximately $13 million for one or more cooperative agreements to fund a technical assistance project(s) in El Salvador and Honduras with the goals of improving employment outcomes among at-risk youth and preventing their engagement in the worst forms of child labor. The project will target youth ages 14 to 17 that are susceptible to the worst forms of child labor, as well as youth ages 18 to 20 that are susceptible to hazardous and exploitative working conditions, primarily targeting youth that reside in communities with high levels of crime and violence. It will aim to provide quality, market-relevant skills training to these at-risk youth, in a safe and secure learning environment; provide follow-up services to help these youth secure and retain employment; foster sustained employer involvement in both the development of the market-relevant skills training and the job placement for at-risk youth; and strengthen capacity of the government and community groups to support relevant vocational training and employment opportunities for youth. ILAB&amp;#8217;s Office of Child Labor, Forced Labor and Human Trafficking (OCFT) will technically manage cooperative agreements awarded under this solicitation, and USDOL&amp;#8217;s Employment and Training Administration (ETA) will administer the cooperative agreements. The duration of the project(s) funded by this announcement will be 4 years (48 months from the effective date of the award. The project start date is estimated to be September 1, 2015. ILAB leads USDOL&amp;#8217;s efforts to ensure that workers around the world are treated fairly and are able to share in the benefits of the global economy. ILAB&amp;#8217;s mission is to use available international channels to improve working conditions, protect workers&amp;#8217; ability to exercise their rights, raise living standards, and address the workplace exploitation of children and other vulnerable populations. OCFT conducts and funds research, develops strategic partnerships, and funds an international technical cooperation program to eliminate the worst forms of child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking. ILAB is authorized to award and administer grants and cooperative agreements by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Pub. Law 113-235.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. State Department, Bureau of Intelligence and Research, Office of Outreach, invites organizations with substantial and wide-reaching experience in administration of research and training programs to apply for funding to conduct nationwide competitive programs supporting U.S. scholars, students, and institutions in advanced research and language training on the countries of Eastern Europe and Eurasia. U.S.-based nonprofit organizations and educational institutions may submit proposals for the Program for Research and Training on Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII) that: 1) support and sustain American expertise on the countries of Eastern Europe and Eurasia; 2) bring American expertise to the service of the U.S. government; and 3) further U.S. foreign assistance and policy goals. All proposals must make an explicit connection to U.S. foreign or national security policy, and demonstrate how the proposed program will contribute to U.S. knowledge, expertise, and national capability. The program also aims to support outreach and build relationships with the academic and nonprofit communities. Intelligence Community analysts and State Department policy makers benefit from engagement with outside elements to explore new ideas and perspectives and create new knowledge and research.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to conduct research on modeling nutrient dynamics in Lake Ontario&amp;#65533;s nearshore waters of New York from the Niagara River to the Genesee Embayment to provide a better understand of factors that have led to increased nuisance algae and related water-quality problems in the nearshore. This research should expand on nearshore work conducted in 2008 and 2013 in support of the US and Canadian Lake Ontario Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP) efforts to develop a better understanding of the connection between tributary nutrient inputs and nearshore water quality. Ideally the work of the CESU partner will complement the EPA Annex 4 goals and the Lake Ontario LAMP&amp;#65533;s nearshore monitoring and research efforts in this.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center (NPWRC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support refinement of techniques for monitoring honey bee health and productivity in commercial orchards of the Upper Midwest. Extensive monitoring of honey bees is conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Such monitoring facilitates management of USDA conservation programs in the Northern Great Plains, an area of critical importance for pollinators and commercial beekeepers. Researchers collect detail bee colony health and productivity data and relate those data to surrounding landscape features. Researchers also collect data on forb utilization by honey bees and other pollinators residing on USDA conservation lands. These data are used to inform seed mixes for USDA conservation programs throughout the Northern Great Plains and Upper Midwest. Currently USGS lack the information needed to more effectively monitor bee colonies in Michigan orchards. Monitoring bee colonies in orchards presents a unique set of challenges because these bees are moved by beekeepers throughout the summer for orchard crop pollination services.</Description>

        <Description>Limited Funding is available through the U.S. Department of State&amp;apos;s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) for proposals for globally-relevant capacity building, research, and evaluations or assessment projects that help the humanitarian community better prevent and respond to GBV in refugee and conflict-affected displacement globally among PRM populations of concern. To maximize global reach, activities should involve multiple locations and, when appropriate, multiple partners. Proposals must: 1) Seek to build the capacity of international organizations, non-governmental organizations and their implementing partners to prevent and respond to GBV with worldwide application and/or implications; and/or 2) Involve research on current gaps and challenges related to GBV; and/or 3) Conduct impact assessments or external evaluations (prospective or retrospective) of GBV interventions that can test the impact and outcomes of global GBV response with a goal of informing and strengthening future programming. Such research, assessments, or evaluations should be conducted in an academically rigorous manner, include concrete policy and program recommendations for relevant humanitarian stakeholders, focus on PRM populations of concern, and include dissemination/roll-out strategies. NOTE: This funding is not intended to build the capacity of a specific or single organization. Proposals for programmatic (i.e., direct service provision) GBV prevention and/or response efforts serving refugee and conflict-affected populations in specific countries or geographic locations should be submitted through a separate application process when relevant Notice of Funding Opportunity announcements are posted.

        <Description>Because more than half of all species currently listed as endangered or threatened spend at least part of their life cycle on privately-owned lands, the Service recognizes that success in conserving species will ultimately depend on working cooperatively with landowners, communities, and tribes to foster voluntary stewardship efforts on private lands. States and Territories (hereafter, &amp;quot;States&amp;quot;) play a key role in catalyzing these efforts. A variety of tools are available under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to help States and landowners plan and implement projects to conserve species. The CESCF provides grants to States to participate in a wide array of voluntary conservation projects for candidate, listed, and recently recovered species.This Funding Opportunity pertains only to Region 3 &amp;#65533;Traditional&amp;#65533; Conservation Grants. The &amp;#65533;Traditional&amp;#65533; Conservation Grants program provides financial assistance to States to implement conservation projects for candidate, listed, and recently recovered species. Funded activities include habitat restoration, species status surveys, public education and outreach, captive propagation and reintroduction, nesting surveys, genetic studies, and development of management plans.The CESCF programs are authorized through Endangered Species Act of 1973, 16 U.S.C. 1531 - 1534 et seq., as amended. The codified program regulations can be found at 50 CFR 81.</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is seeking applications under its Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF) Program. This program provides awards to accredited universities for doctoral research that uses criminal justice data or statistical series and focuses on crime, violence, and other criminal justice-related topics. BJS invests in doctoral education by supporting universities that sponsor students who demonstrate the potential to complete doctoral degree programs successfully in disciplines relevant to the mission of BJS, and who are in the final stages of graduate study. The ultimate goal of this solicitation is to increase the pool of researchers using criminal justice statistical data generated by BJS, thereby contributing solutions that better prevent and control crime and help ensure the fair and impartial administration of criminal justice in the United States. Applicant institutions sponsoring doctoral students are eligible to apply only if the doctoral research dissertation has direct implications for criminal justice policy and practice in the United States. BJS encourages institutions to consider doctoral students from social and behavioral sciences, mathematics, or statistics academic disciplines for their applications. Applicant institutions are strongly encouraged to sponsor minority and female student candidates. Awards are anticipated to be made to successful applicant institutions in the form of a cooperative agreement to cover a fellowship for the sponsored doctoral student. Each fellowship potentially provides up to 3 years of support, usable over a 5-year period. For each year of support, BJS provides the degree-granting institution a stipend of $35,000, usable toward the student&amp;#8217;s salary and related costs, and up to $15,000 to cover the student&amp;#8217;s tuition and fees, research expenses, and related costs (see B. Federal Award Information). If the doctoral student&amp;#8217;s dissertation is not completed and delivered to BJS within the 5-year period, the academic institution will be required to return the full award amount to BJS. Final award decisions will be made by the Director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics. </Description>

        <Description>Pastoralists Areas Resiliency Improvement and Market Expansion (PRIME) is a five year project aimed to increase household incomes and improve the resiliency and adaptive capacity of pastoral communities to climate change through market expansion. PRIME will be implemented in selected districts (woredas) of Somali, Afar and Oromia Regions targeting 250,000 households as direct beneficiaries PRIME&amp;#146;s overall goal is to reduce hunger and poverty. The project objective is to increase household incomes and enhance resilience to climate change through market linkages. The design and implementation of the project is based on the interaction between &amp;#145;climate change, pastoralism/livestock and chronic vulnerability&amp;#146; The attainment of these objectives is through a multiple approach; (a) fostering the growth and competitiveness of livestock value chains; (b) addressing the needs of the very poor and chronically food insecure households through reaching down to this population through value chain interventions and addressing their needs through interventions; (c) improving the policy environment through a continuous evaluation and learning process through collaboration and linkages. </Description>

This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA.

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement R15AN20014 Project Title Open Space Management Recipient Casitas Municipal Water District Principal Investigator / Program Manager Steve Wickstrum Anticipated Federal Amount $49,755.00 Cost Share 50% Total Anticipated Award Amount $49,755.00 New Award or Continuation? New Award Anticipated Period of Performance Date of fexecution through December 31, 2019 Award Instrument Grant Statutory Authority Public Law 89-72, as amended (16 USC 460L-15, Section 3(c)(1). CFDA # and Title 15.524 Single Source Justification Criteria Cited UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS Reclamation Point of Contact Jason Kirby Email: jkirby@usbr.gov OVERVIEW This financial assistance agreement will continue over the next 5 years to fund activities considered highly important to the integrity of Casitas Lake as a drinking water lake, (no body contact allowed within the reservoir). Reclamation has acquired certain lands (Open Space) to protect the quality of water in Lake Casitas and for other watershed protection issues. The management agreements in place between Reclamation and Casitas identify areas that need to be maintained and wherever possible, in the natural state of the area. The work in the proposed financial assistance agreement is to perform any and all task necessary to maintain the open space lands in their natural state. This will include, but not limited to, fence repair, trespassing control, security patrol and other watershed activities necessary to protect the area surrounding Lake Casitas RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Objective 1. Fence Repair and Improvements: There are approximately 13 miles of 4-strand barb-wire fence that surrounds the Open Space Lands at Lake Casitas. These fence lines are constantly damaged by fallen tree limbs, high winds, vehicle accidents, vandalism and wear on the wire. While Reclamation is responsible for the security fence and its integrity and maintenance, repairs are sometimes required due to vandalism and require wire, stakes, and hand tools. To protect the lands from public intrusion and keep the integrity of the fence lines in place, repairs and improvements need to be made as required on a yearly basis. Reclamation and Casitas Water District will work together to see that these fence lines are kept in good condition. At times dumping of trash is an issue along the fence lines and Casitas staff will assist with these duties if necessary to alleviate public safety or water quality issues. Objective 2. Waterway Maintenance: Several annual creeks cross the open space lands and 1 diversion canal enters the Casitas Reservoir through the Open Space Lands from the north of the Lake. These waterways need to be free of refuse, garbage and obstructions so that natural flows reach the storage reservoir. Casitas Municipal Water District will be tasked with keeping those creeks in good flowing condition and monitoring the condition with patrols and communication. Actions that may be required are tree removal, creek bed maintenance, high water flow damage, vandalism and any other issues that would hinder flows of natural water into Lake Casitas. Casitas is also responsible for the Robles Canal and its maintenance through an existing contract with Reclamation, (Safety of Dams). This diversion canal diverts contract water from the Ventura River at certain flows and is required to be an open channel at all times. Objective 3. Security Patrol. Reclamation has an existing Grant ( R11PG20245), for Open Space protection with the US Forest Service. This proposed agreement with Casitas Water District will augment that protection by providing occasional ranger patrols through the area to keep the general public from trespassing onto Federal lands and assist Forest Service in fire prevention and reduction of vandalism in the area. The Ranger patrols will also help with creating a presence and deter dumping, poaching, and trespass issues. This time and work will coordinate closely with the United States Forest Service. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS Single Source Justification Description: Single source justification was used in this proposal because Casitas Reservoir Open Space is managed and operated through an Interim Agreement between Reclamation and the Casitas Municipal Water District (CMWD), (Contract No. 8-07-20-L0530). That Agreement states that CMWD is currently operating the Project and managing those Project lands pursuant to Contract No. 14-06-200-5257. CMWD operates and manages Reclamation land around Lake Casitas and Casitas Dam for Lake Casitas Recreation Area under Agreement No. 11-LC-20-0216. All equipment and the Management structure necessary to operate Lake Casitas Recreation Area and the Open Space Lands are provided on site by CMWD. In February of 2010, Reclamation issued a Final Resource Management Plan (RMP)/Environmental Impact Statement. This document stated that &amp;#8216;Implementing the RMP management actions will be the primary responsibility of the managing partner&amp;#8221;. CMWD has been the Managing Partner since 1956 and has distinct and adequate background to continue in that capacity and to administer financial assistance when required. STATUTORY AUTHORITY P.L. 89-72, Federal Water Project Recreation Act, July 9, 1965. Section 1, Section 3(b)(1) and Section 3(c)(1). Sec. 1. Congressional policy&amp;#8212;It is the policy of the Congress and the intent of this Act that (a) in investigating and planning any Federal navigation, flood control, reclamation, hydroelectric, or multiple-purpose water resource project, full consideration shall be given to the opportunities, if any, which the project affords for outdoor recreation and for fish and wildlife enhancement and that, wherever any such project can reasonably serve either or both of these purposes consistently with the provisions of this Act, it shall be constructed, operated, and maintained accordingly: (b) planning with respect to the development of the recreation potential of any such project shall be based on the coordination of the recreational use of the project area with the use of existing and planned Federal, State, or local public recreation developments; and (c) project construction agencies shall encourage non-Federal public bodies to administer project land and water areas for recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement purposes and operate, maintain, and replace facilities provided for those purposes unless such areas or facilities are included or proposed for inclusion within a national recreation area, or are appropriate for administration by a Federal agency as a part of the national forest system, as part of the public lands classified for retention in Federal ownership, or in connection with an authorized Federal program for the conservation and development of fish and wildlife and Sec. 3 (b) (1) If non-Federal public-bodies execute an agreement after initial operation of the project (which agreement shall provide that the non-federal public bodies will administer project land and water areas for recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement or both pursuant to the plan for the development of the project approved by the head of the agency having administrative jurisdiction over it and will bear not less than one-half the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided for recreation, and will bear one-quarter of such costs for fish and wildlife enhancement, and not less than one-half the costs of planning studies, and the costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement attributable thereto) the remainder of the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be non-reimbursable. and Sec. 3(c) (1) Any recreation facility constructed under this Act may be expanded or modified if (A) the facility is inadequate to meet recreational demand: and (B) a non-Federal public body executes an agreement which provides that such public body- (i) will administer the expanded or modified facilities pursuant to a plan for development for the project that is approved by the agency with administrative jurisdiction over the project; and (ii) will bear not less then one-half of the planning and capital costs of such expansion or modification and no less than one-half of the costs of the operation, maintenance, and replacement attributable to the expansion of the facility. (2) The Federal share of the cost of expanding or modifying a recreational facility described in paragraph (1) may not exceed 50 percent of the total cost of expanding or modifying the facility. 16 USC 460l(b) Preservation of recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement potential&amp;#8230;and preference to uses promoting and not detracting from such potential Notwithstanding the absence of an indication of intent as specified in section 460l-13(a) of this title, lands may be provided in connection with project construction to preserve the recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement potential of the project. (1) If non-Federal public bodies execute an agreement after initial operation of the project (which agreement shall provide that the non-Federal public bodies will administer project land and water areas for recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement or both pursuant to the plan for the development of the project approved by the head of the agency having administrative jurisdiction over it and will bear not less than one-half the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided for recreation, and will bear one-quarter of such costs for fish and wildlife enhancement, and not less than one-half the costs of planning studies, and the costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement attributable thereto) the remainder of the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be non-reimbursable. Such agreement and subsequent development, however, shall not be the basis for any reallocation of joint costs of the project to recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement. 16 USC 460l(c) Expansion or modification of existing facilities (1) Any recreation facility constructed under this part may be expanded or modified if &amp;#8211; (A) The facility is inadequate to meet recreational demands; and (B) A non-Federal public body executes an agreement which provides that such public body &amp;#8211; (i) Will administer the expanded or modified facilities pursuant to a plan for development for the project that is approved by the agency with administrative jurisdiction over the project; and (ii) Will bear not less than one-half of the planning and capital costs of such expansion or modification and not less than one-half of the costs of the operation, maintenance, and replacement attributable to the expansion of the facility. 16 USC 590a(1) To conduct surveys, investigations, and research relating to the character of soil erosion and the preventative measures needed, to publish the results of any such surveys, investigations, or research, to disseminate information concerning such methods, and to conduct demonstrational projects in areas subject to erosion by wind or water; 16 USC 590a(2) To carry our preventative measures, including, but not limited to, engineering operations, methods of cultivation, the growing of vegetation, and changes in use of land; and 16 USC 590a(3) To cooperate or enter into agreements with, or to furnish financial assistance or other aid to, any agency, governmental or otherwise, or any person, subject to such conditions as he may deem necessary, for the purposes of this chapter. </Description>

        <Description>This USAID/Malawi (RFI) is seeking information and comments from qualified Malawian and international organizations to provide technical assistance in support of the USAID Malawi&amp;#8217;s activity titled: MOVING INTO THE FUTURE WITH THE YOUTH (PaMawa ndi a Chinyamata). The attached draft program description presents the current draft objectives and key elements of the activity. USAID/Malawi may significantly revise this proposed new activity and planned solicitation resulting from the comments received and further internal discussions. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a Request for Applications (RFA). Responses to this RFI shall not be portrayed as applications and will not be accepted by the U.S. Government (USG) to form a binding agreement. This RFI is not to be construed as a commitment by the USG to issue any solicitation or ultimately award of a grant or cooperative agreement on the basis of this RFI, or to pay for any information submitted as a result of this request. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. If a funding opportunity is released in form of an RFA, it may be synopsized in, but not limited to, grants.gov and local Malawian newspapers and websites. It is the potential responder&amp;#8217;s responsibility to monitor the above forums for the release of any further information. It should be noted that responding to this RFI will not give any advantage to any organization in any subsequent procurement. USAID/Malawi will not provide answers to any question submitted in response to this request. By issuing the draft for comment USAID/Malawi aims to consult with the broad community of actors involved with Climate Change and Family Planning/ Reproductive Health. Your comments are requested to help refine the program description to ensure maximum development impact, sound coordination with existing activities, and alignment with the Government of Malawi&amp;#8217;s top priorities. Please ensure your comments are concise and specific to information included within the draft program description. While there are no limits on the length of submissions accepted, we value concise, issue-specific responses with reference to page and section numbers in the draft program description. Areas of particular interest include: 1. Programmatic integration through co-location, coordination and collaboration is a major priority of the USAID/Malawi CDCS (see http://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1860/Malawi%20CDCS%202013-2018%20-%20Public%20version.pdf). Is the rationale for PaMawa&amp;#8217;s focus on integration and associated implementation requirements sufficiently clear? 2. Is the rationale for integrating adaptation and family planning activities within a single implementing mechanism sufficiently elaborated and conceptually sound? 3. As a key Mission pilot activity, PaMawa has a strong learning agenda. Are the key learning questions of interest to USAID and other stakeholders sufficiently defined? Does it seem feasible to answer the identified research interests within the defined time frame and mainly through the activity&amp;#8217;s internal M&amp;amp;E systems? 4. The RFI intentionally focuses much more on results, or the what, than on specific approaches for achieving those results, the how. Do the intended results seem realistic within a four-year time frame? Does the required integration of national-scale and site-based approaches seem feasible and conceptually sound? 5. The activity focuses mainly on youth. Is this population sufficiently defined? Is the concept of wrapping-around the ASPIRE activity sufficiently elaborated and conceptually sound? 6. Because PaMawa focuses on two different sectors, it will require diverse, proven expertise and a management structure that ensures the integration of this expertise throughout implementation. Should USAID define the type of consortium/partnership that is required to implement this activity, or is it clear? Please send your comments and questions to Rajab Banda at rabanda@usaid.gov with a copy to Adel Yamak at ayamak@usaid.gov no later than the closing date shown above. </Description>

        <Description>This exchange program supports U.S. foreign policy goals by enabling the Department of State to respond in a timely manner to emerging foreign policy priorities. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to provide a series of two-way exchange projects ranging in size and scope, each involving current or potential government and civil society leaders. It is anticipated that overall there would be approximately 50-70 foreign participants and 30-40 Americans who would take part in the program across the various projects. The focus, size, and nature of each project will be identified and developed by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, in consultation with Department stakeholders and the implementing organization during the course of the cooperative agreement period. Each project should include multiple components designed around the achievement of the specific project goal. A central component of each project will be a group of foreign participants who will travel to the United States for an intensive, tailored program. The successful applicant organization will work closely with U.S. Embassies and in-country or regionally-based partner organizations, as appropriate, to recruit, screen, and select the participants and develop program activities that best address the project goal. The foreign group component will be followed or preceded by reciprocal overseas programs, as conditions permit, for small groups of American participants. The American participants should have experience or expertise in the field of the specific project, and establish a connection or linkage with the foreign participants. Additional project components, such as regional gathering of participants overseas or other follow-on components will be developed as appropriate. It is the Bureau&amp;apos;s intent to award one cooperative agreement of approximately $1,250,000.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Veterans&amp;#8217; Employment and Training Service (VETS), announces the availability of approximately $4 million in grant funds authorized by Title 38 of United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 2021, which provides that the &amp;#8220;Secretary of Labor [the Secretary] shall conduct, directly or through grant or contract, such programs as the Secretary determines appropriate to provide job training, counseling, and placement services (including job readiness and literacy and skills training) to expedite the reintegration of homeless veterans into the labor force.&amp;#8221; VETS expects to award approximately 19 HVRP grants in program year 2015. HVRP grants address two objectives: to provide employment services to assist in reintegrating homeless veterans into meaningful employment within the labor force and to stimulate the development of effective service delivery systems that will address the complex problems facing homeless veterans. Applications proposing to serve homeless veterans under this Homeless Veterans&amp;#8217; Reintegration Program (HVRP) solicitation will fall into one of two categories: Urban or Non-Urban geographical areas. Applicants proposing to serve homeless veterans on Native American tribal lands are encouraged to apply. Grant awards will range from a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $300,000 for an Urban grant and a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $200,000 for a Non-Urban grant. Grants awarded under this solicitation will have a twelve (12) month period of performance and may be considered for additional years of funding depending upon funding availability and satisfactory performance. Though the period of performance is noted as 12 months, each grant year will require an additional 9 months of follow-up and reporting after the active performance period.</Description>

        <Description>The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the Department, or we), announces the availability of approximately $15 million in grant funds authorized by Section 169, subsection (b), of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). We expect to fund approximately 8 cooperative agreements to state workforce agencies, ranging from $1.5 million to $2.5 million each. Applicants may apply for up to $2.5 million.This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) builds upon the DEI that the Department has funded since 2010. Through this FOA, the Department plans to support the development of job-driven, innovative, integrated, flexible, and universally-designed service delivery strategies in existing career pathways systems and programs. The Department believes that such development will increase the participation of individuals with disabilities in career pathways systems and programs. Since 2010, the Department has awarded over $95 million through the DEI to 37 state workforce agencies (WIA-administering entities) in 26 states under the DEI to improve the education, training, and employment outcomes of youth and adults with disabilities by refining and expanding already identified successful workforce strategies. Starting in 2014, DOL required Round V DEI grantees to increase the participation of youth and adults with disabilities in existing career pathway systems and programs implemented in the AJCs. DOL awarded six Round V DEI grants in California, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and South Dakota.</Description>

        <Description>The BLM manages several million acres of land statewide as well as several thousand cultural and paleontological locations. Presently, the BLM Alaska Cultural and Paleontological staff has a limited ability to conduct specialized and detailed paleo-environmental analyses of these localities to obtain this kind of information as part of its management decision making. Therefore, the BLM needs to rely on an experienced partner institution in the CESU program to conduct detailed paleo-environmental analyses of cultural and non-cultural locations. These analyses would gather information about the timing of geological and ecological events that could have had a significant effect on prehistoric cultural or paleontological resources managed by the BLM in Alaska. The principal purpose/objective of this project is to collect, analyses, and curate paleo-environmental data obtained from environmental sampling through a variety of means. These means may include sediment coring, shovel testing, excavation or any other scientifically valid method for collecting paleo-environmental data. Analyses may include pollen analysis, soil chemistry, radiocarbon dating or any other scientifically valid laboratory analysis. </Description>

The Obama Administration recognizes that drug use is a threat to the Nation&amp;#8217;s public health, and that drug addiction is a preventable and treatable disease. ONDCP pursues a balanced and comprehensive approach to drug control policy - an approach that includes prevention, early intervention, treatment, recovery, and law enforcement. Under ONDCP&amp;#8217;s 2006 Reauthorization Act, the Director of National Drug Control Policy is authorized to enter into an agreement with a non-profit organization to &amp;#8220;advise States on establishing laws and policies to address alcohol and other drug issues, based on the model State drug laws developed by the President&amp;#8217;s Commission on Model State Drug Laws in 1993; and revise such model State drug laws and draft supplementary model State drug laws to take into consideration changes in the alcohol and drug abuse problems in the States involved.&amp;#8221; See, Pub. Law 109-469 (Dec.29, 2006). These statutory requirements comprise the core of the Model State Drug Laws Initiative, the purposes and requirements of the assistance provided under this notice of fund availability being more particularly described below. ONDCP expects to award one Federal grant under the Model State Drug Laws Initiative, for a two year period, beginning approximately July 1, 2015. The successful non-Federal entity receiving the award conduct research and analysis, provide technical assistance, and draft model legislation on current and emerging drug and alcohol-related issues. The successful non-Federal entity (NFE) receiving award must also maintain a web-based resource center, accessible to the public, on state drug and alcohol laws and related statutes, policies and programs for use in advising States and associated groups on establishing laws and policies based on Model State Drug Laws. Goals, Objectives and What the Government is Supporting The assistance provided under this award will support the NFE&amp;#8217;s performance of the award and fulfillment of the following four performance areas: &amp;#8226; RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS o Conduct timely research and analysis on state drug and alcohol laws, policies, and programs pertaining to current and emerging drug and alcohol-related issues; o Describe and document processes use for determining which model laws should be developed and articulate criteria for prioritization and selection; and o Provide technical assistance in legislative and policy development in response to requests by interested members of the public, including persons representing legislative and other organizations. &amp;#8226; DRAFTING AND REVISING MODEL LEGISLATION o Draft model state drug and alcohol legislation to address current and emerging drug and alcohol related issues; and o Revise current model laws and/or draft supplementary legislation as deemed necessary. &amp;#8226; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE o Provide on request and, only subject to a reasonable administrative charge, individual off-site technical assistance and follow up assistance on model state drug and alcohol laws, policies, and programs to state and local officials, drug and alcohol professionals, behavioral health specialists, and other relevant parties.

        <Description>REQUEST FOR INTEREST FOR POTENTIAL PROJECT TO BE INITIATED THROUGH National Park Service Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Funding Opportunity Number: FY2015-JEFF-0001 Project title: Summer Education College Interns - JEFF Park: Jefferson National Expansion Memorial 11 N. 4th Street St. Louis, Missouri 63102 Proposed Project Date: June 1-August 7, 2015 (10 weeks each) Estimated funding available: $12,970 Number of Positions Available: 2 college student interns Summary: Jefferson National Expansion Memorial has an opportunity for two college students to assist with developing and presenting activity-based summer education and family programming at the Gateway Arch and Old Courthouse. Student interns will work with interpretative rangers and education specialists who will provide them with valuable training. Students will have an exciting opportunity to participate in program development during a time of change in the park. While the park is undergoing major construction and redesign, much of the public programming will take place at the Old Courthouse. The museum under the Arch is closed and the new one will not open until 2017. During this time of transition, the Old Courthouse will have new temporary exhibits on westward expansion in addition to exhibits related to historic trials such as Dred Scott and Virginia Minor. Students will be responsible for developing programs that are relevant and enjoyable to our student population. These will include: Junior Ranger programs, interpretive family programming related to the park themes and resource stewardship, outreach community programs, and educator workshops. In order for this partnership to be effective, the NPS seeks an organizational partner with expertise in youth education programs, to recruit two college interns with appropriate skills and educational experiences. JEFF will provide NPS and park specific training. n The long-term goals of the project are to: 1) introduce youth to education related jobs and, for some, mentor them in that direction, 2) allow youth to actively participate in developing education programs that engage children and families, 3) provide an opportunity to gain experience in partnership, outreach, and collaboration, and 4) assist in fostering a sense of stewardship of the park and its resources. JEFF will work directly with youth service-providers to identify candidates best able to benefit from this experience. Background: The National Park Service&amp;#8217;s (NPS) Call to Action (C2A) strongly encourages parks to facilitate the involvement of youth in experiencing and caring for parks as the next generation of NPS employees and citizens that will steward these national places. In addition, C2A recognizes the potential of parks to serve as centers for education, job-training, and other formative experiences for the citizenry. Parks also need the care that youth can provide. The position is located at Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, MO. Possible Projects and Work Activities for 2015: The roles, responsibilities, and timeline for such a project are as follows. April 2015: Organizational partner will work with JEFF staff to identify, recruit, interview, and hire student interns. Arrange housing for interns. June - August: Interns work in park to develop and present programming. During the 10 week period each intern would be expected to provide 40 hours of labor per week for a total of 400 hours of service. (800 total hours of service for project.) Skills desired: &amp;#8729; Experience working with youth of a variety of ages &amp;#8729; Knowledge of child developmental stages and learning styles &amp;#8729; Knowledge of 19th century American history, particularly westward expansion &amp;#8729; Ability to use computer software programs &amp;#8729; Ability to lead, coordinate and work with others Educational background desired: &amp;#8729; Coursework or experience in education &amp;#8729; Coursework or experience in history/social studies Materials Requested for Statement of Information/Qualifications: Interested organizations submit a Statement of Information (three-page maximum) including a summary of how you would implement and manage this project in conjunction with JEFF staff. Include your name, organization, and contact information, a brief description of the organization and mission, as well as a description of relevant qualifications and experience with recruiting and placement of youth interns, past projects, and staff, faculty, or students who would be available to work on the project. Include a bid with the Statement of Information. The Statement of Information and bid will be reviewed by the NPS in order determine the organization best suited to provide services for this specific project. Submit electronic Statement of Interest to julie_hendricks@nps.gov by 5:00 CDT Friday, April 17, 2015. Note: This Request for Information seeks responses from organizations qualified to provide individual and/or crews of youth and young adults for internship opportunities with the National Park Service that provide stewardship and service-learning opportunities through education, history, and community involvement.

        <Description>The project is a long-term inventory, monitoring, and assessment program of human impacts resulting from recreation uses on the Arizona Strip District using a standardized quantitative recreation monitoring approach. Using baseline data compiled in a geo-referenced database of impacts available on an easily accessed website, existing recreation sites will be monitored on a regular schedule to determine recreation-created impacts and make management recommendations for future actions. Graduate and undergraduate students will be involved in the recreation monitoring and assessment program and conference presentations and publications in pertinent scientific literature will represent the results of these studies, not required as deliverables to the BLM. Regular reporting with recommendations to management and staff will be conducted in order to assist the BLM in protecting and maintaining recreation settings and opportunities. Recreation assessments would also be conducted under this agreement for National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) areas, such as national monuments, wilderness areas and national trails. Data collected during the inventory and the BLM and recipient will jointly develop monitoring. Project data will be available to the BLM on an as needed basis. This project provides opportunities for students and/or entry-level professionals to work with experienced, professional land managers to obtain experience in complex public land management issues. This project will provide the background experience by which students may make long term career goals and decisions, and will enable continuing development between the recipient and the BLM in terms of student development, recruitment, and service opportunities between the two entities. To ensure that data collection is useful and reliable, a standard monitoring procedure will be followed. This will also include proper GPS techniques with geo-referenced data, sites, and photos. Inventories, monitoring reports, and assessment projects will provide reliable, quantitative data which can be analyzed and stored to aid BLM management in identifying recreation-related human impact use patterns and trends. These trends can then be used to determine appropriate management actions and prescriptions to be included in land use planning and ongoing management efforts. Objectives: To continue a comprehensive recreation impact monitoring program for the Arizona Strip Field Office (see L10AC20359), Vermilion Cliffs and Grand Canyon-Parashant national monuments that would include: a. Inventories on a regularly scheduled basis. b. Monitor and report on a scheduled format. c. Geo-referenced data, sites, and photos. d.

        <Description>Section 905 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA) mandates FDA to develop an enhanced ability to monitor the safety of drugs after these products reach the market. In response to this mandate, FDA launched its Sentinel Initiative, a long-term program designed to build and implement an electronic system for monitoring the safety of medical products in the post market setting. FDA has already created significant infrastructure on which to operate such a system: through its Mini-Sentinel pilot, a distributed database with access to more than 150 million patient records has been created (the Sentinel Distributed Database). In order to optimally leverage these data, however, new analytic methodologies will be required. IMEDS-Methods is a program within the Reagan-Udall Foundation (RUF) that supports the FDA&amp;apos;s scientific mission of serving public health needs by initiating and facilitating research into the methods of safety evaluation in large databases. IMEDS-Methods aims to improve the tools for conducting post-marketing safety surveillance using automated healthcare data and to foster their adoption. Research Objectives IMEDS plans to conduct methods research in five core areas: (1) addressing bias in estimates from observational studies; (2) better understanding uses and limitations of the data; (3) applying lessons learned from earlier IMEDS projects to FDA surveillance activities; (4) expanding the surveillance question to continuous Risk/Benefit assessment; and (5) continuing to support qualified investigators in industry, government, and academic settings by providing access to de-identified electronic healthcare data and computing resources through the IMEDS Research Laboratory. </Description>

        <Description>Picture Post Partnership and Responsive Website Picture Post is a part of the Digital Earth Watch (DEW) network. The DEW supports environmental monitoring by citizens, students, and community organizations through digital photography and satellite imagery. Picture Post is affiliated with the University of New Hampshire. Picture Post provides an online location for citizens and organizations to host pictures taken from registered picture posts. The resulting photographic library can be used by university and other scientists, educators, and the public to track phenological, seasonal, and other changes in the photographed landscape. Picture Post is looking to expand their network of posts and improve their visitors&amp;#8217; experiences, especially for first-time users. The National Park Service Climate Change Response Program is developing a series of wayside exhibits that feature messages about phenology in parks and encourage citizen scientists to aid in the tracking of phenological change on the ground (through photographs). Several national parks already have registered picture posts, and other parks are looking for ways to gather and share citizen science photographs to document climate change. A partnership with Picture Post will create opportunities for visitors to engage in meaningful research while in the park and to stay engaged with the ongoing research through viewing other&amp;#8217;s photos after they return home. Researchers will be able to use the photos through access to the online picture sets on Picture Post&amp;#8217;s website. These photos could be useful to researchers both as individual data points in phenological or other climate and environmental change research and as ground truthing tools in satellite imagery studies. Purpose: This project will invite visitors to climate change wayside exhibits in national parks to participate in climate change phenology. The project will improve access to and experience with the mobile application &amp;apos;Picture Post&amp;apos; designed to promote citizen science opportunities for the public. It will increase climate change science literacy with the public and empower and engage youth and others to participate in science conservation. This will be accomplished by creating a responsive design that enables the public to access the site through both desktop and mobile devices, and by reviewing and making changes to the existing user interface of the site, thus making it easier for users to contribute pictures to Picture Post. Data generated from the posts will increase the quality and quantity of information available to researchers to better understand phenological change and the impacts of climate change in national parks. The UNH and Picture Post program will benefit by the improvement of the website and by promoting the concept of photo storage to contribute to phenological research in national parks across the country. Objectives: 1. Redesign the Picture Post website (http://picturepost.unh.edu) home page, post pages, and pages associated with the photo uploads to be mobile-responsive so users can access the site from smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. 2. Increase the ease of use of the Picture Post website by making each step in the process of locating sites and loading photos clear for first-time users, while maintaining tools for repeat users like access to the IOS app, the greenness index, satellite image of the day, and the tool for uploading multiple sets of photos. 3. Expand the Picture Post program to include posts at Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska; Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee; Sequoia &amp;amp; Kings Canyon National Parks in California; Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens and Rock Creek Park in Washington DC, and Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Virginia. </Description>

        <Description>The Affordable Care Act includes a variety of provisions designed to promote accountability, affordability, quality, and accessibility in the health care system. The Affordable Care Act creates a Health Insurance Marketplace or &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#156;Marketplace&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#157; &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; also known as the Affordable Insurance Exchange &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; in each state, that together provide millions of Americans and small employers with access to affordable health insurance coverage. These Marketplaces allow individuals, employers, and employees to shop for, select, and enroll in QHPs. These Marketplaces also determine individuals&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153; eligibility for premium tax credits and cost sharing reductions, as well as help individuals access other Federal and state health care programs, such as Medicaid and the Children&amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#153;s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). By providing one-stop shopping, the Marketplaces make purchasing health insurance easier and more understandable than in the past, and put greater control and greater choice in the hands of eligible individuals and small employers.</Description>

        <Description>It is estimated India has over 123 million smartphone users, and the Indian smartphone market is the fastest growing in the Asia-Pacific region. By 2016, it is estimated there will be more smartphones in use in India than the United States. The smartphone quickly is becoming one of the most important ways to connect with Indian audiences, particularly urban youth, media, business leaders, and government officials. As mobile phones become more commonplace, digital content, in particular videos, will become one of the most effective ways to communicate messages and mobilize communities. In recognition of the important role video plays in today&amp;#8217;s world of digital communication, the U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai will sponsor video blogger, or &amp;#8220;vlogger&amp;#8221; training workshops around the country. The training will enable participants to learn how to take, edit, and show videos to communicate more effectively. The workshops should be two to three days in length and include hands-on, practical training so participants will have the opportunity to practice the curriculum. The training focus should be on low-tech vlogging, preferably through the use of mobile phones, tablets, or still cameras with video functionality. One vlogging workshop will take place in each of the five consular districts in India. U.S. Embassy New Delhi and each of the four U.S. Consulates will identify participants for their respective workshops.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project Background: The project is a long-term inventory, monitoring, and assessment program of human impacts resulting from recreation uses on the Arizona Strip District using a standardized quantitative recreation monitoring approach. Using baseline data compiled in a geo-referenced database of impacts available on an easily accessed website, existing recreation sites will be monitored on a regular schedule to determine recreation-created impacts and make management recommendations for future actions. Graduate and undergraduate students will be involved in the recreation monitoring and assessment program and conference presentations and publications in pertinent scientific literature will represent the results of these studies, not required as deliverables to the BLM. Regular reporting with recommendations to management and staff will be conducted in order to assist the BLM in protecting and maintaining recreation settings and opportunities. Recreation assessments would also be conducted under this agreement for National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) areas, such as national monuments, wilderness areas and national trails. Data collected during the inventory and the BLM and recipient will jointly develop monitoring. Project data will be available to the BLM on an as needed basis. This project provides opportunities for students and/or entry-level professionals to work with experienced, professional land managers to obtain experience in complex public land management issues. This project will provide the background experience by which students may make long term career goals and decisions, and will enable continuing development between the recipient and the BLM in terms of student development, recruitment, and service opportunities between the two entities. To ensure that data collection is useful and reliable, a standard monitoring procedure will be followed. This will also include proper GPS techniques with geo-referenced data, sites, and photos. Inventories, monitoring reports, and assessment projects will provide reliable, quantitative data which can be analyzed and stored to aid BLM management in identifying recreation-related human impact use patterns and trends. These trends can then be used to determine appropriate management actions and prescriptions to be included in land use planning and ongoing management efforts. Objectives: 1. To continue a comprehensive recreation impact monitoring program for the Arizona Strip Field Office (see L10AC20359), Vermilion Cliffs and Grand Canyon-Parashant national monuments that would include: a. Inventories on a regularly scheduled basis. b. Monitor and report on a scheduled format. c. Geo-referenced data, sites, and photos. d. A web-based monitoring management tool to provide easy access to the inventory/monitoring information and to determine when on-site assessment has exceeded standards or to track critical site variables. 2. To continue a recreation impact inventory/monitoring program which provides the Arizona Strip Field Office, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, and Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument with the appropriate resource information in a valid, reliable, and timely manner in order for site managers to make decisions regarding recreation land use prescriptions in order to protect the natural and cultural resources and the recreational experiences of the recreating public. 3. To continue inventory, monitoring and assessment protocols to assess future recreational opportunities in order to make recommendations for National Landscape Conservation System units, such as the national monuments, wilderness areas, and the Old Spanish National Historic and Arizona National Scenic trails on the Arizona Strip Field Office. 4. To continue to provide opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, interns, and/or entry level professionals to work with experienced, professional land managers and staff to obtain experience in complex land management issues. To provide students, interns, and/ entry level professionals experience by which they may make long term career goals and decisions. To continue and expand student development, recruitment and service opportunities between the BLM and the recipient. Scientific integrity is vital to Department of the Interior (DOI) activities under which scientific research, data, summaries, syntheses, interpretations, presentations, and/or publications are developed and used. Failure to uphold the highest degree of scientific integrity will result not only in potentially flawed scientific results, interpretations, and applications but will damage DOI&amp;#65533;s reputation and ability to uphold the public&amp;#65533;s trust. All work performed must comply with the DOI Scientific Integrity Policy posted to http://www.doi.gov, or its equivalent as provided by their organization or State law. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) seeks to understand how local governments obtain and use information about energy consumption in their communities and within their government operations. Consistent with existing DOE and Administration initiatives to work with local governments such as the Better Buildings Challenge, Clean Cities Coalition, and Climate Action Champions, EERE seeks to continue to help cities make important progress in meeting their climate and energy goals. The Cities Leading through Energy Analysis and Planning (Cities-LEAP) project is investigating complementary ways to support cities (or other local governments) in their efforts to include energy analysis and data into their strategic decision-making. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This RFI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. All responses to this RFI must be provided as an attachment (in Microsoft Word format) to an e-mail message addressed to Cities.LEAP@ee.doe.gov. Responses must be received no later than 5:00 PM EDT on May 29, 2015. The full content of the announcement can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. </Description>

        <Description>The Lakeview BLM in cooperation with the Lake County Cooperative Weed Management Area has been actively surveying the North Warner Sage Grouse Project Planning Area through a past agreement through both aerial and ground based survey methods. The North Warner area covers 222,667 acres of checker boarded ownerships of BLM, USFS, Oregon Department of State Lands and private lands. To date surveys have taken place over 130,000 acres. The North Warner project planning area falls within the Lakeview BLM Resource Area and is approximately 50 miles Northeast of Lakeview on the eastside of the Warner Mountain range. Studies have shown invasions of annual grass species could easily degrade the habitat for sage grouse and other wildlife species. Medusahead Rye and other non-native winter annual grass species were discovered the summer of 2010. The infestations have been found on all four of the ownerships. The majority of the infestations are small isolated infestations that could effectively be managed though cooperative control efforts. The issue in the past has been the lack of effective herbicides available for use on BLM lands. However, the NEPA to allow the use of imazapic and other more effective herbicides has been completed and should be available for use by the fall of 2015. This project will allow continued coordination among all of the land managers in the North Warner area. One of the biggest needs is education for all of the land managers, which will improve accurate identification of the annual grass species invading the North Warner Area. Surveys will need to continue to cover the southern portion of the project area. Once the use of imazapic use is finalized, large scale cooperative projects can be planned across all of the jurisdiction boundaries. These large scale projects will entail a lot of coordination and planning.</Description>

        <Description>President Obama has called the U.S.-India relationship one of the &amp;#8220;defining partnerships of the 21st century.&amp;#8221; In order to fulfill this vision, we must facilitate greater exchanges between our two countries, and one way to do so is through academic studies. Currently, Indian students account for the second-largest group of foreign students in the United States. India had been the leading place of origin for international students in the United States for eight years from 2001-02 through 2008-09, but has since been overtaken by China. The number of Indian students in the United States rose by 6.1% in 2013-14 after 3 consecutive years of decline, and has now risen back up above 100,000 students per year. Indian students that pursue their academic goals in the United States advance innovation, collaborative research, and business opportunities for both our countries by partnering with their American counterparts. Partnerships between Indians and their American counterparts produce advances in science, business, health, agriculture, and other important sectors. In order to attract students from western India to U.S. higher education institutions, we propose two U.S. University Alumni Fairs. Indian alumni have unique voices and perspectives to share with prospective students that make them effective in promoting U.S. academic institutions. The fairs should take place in Ahmedabad and another city in western India (other than Mumbai). The fairs will feature Indian alumni of U.S. universities, testing bodies, Indian parents who have sent their children to study in the U.S., and some university recruiters. These individuals will staff information booths, and there will be panel presentations that cover the basics of education financing options, how study in the United States leads to success in India, and demystifying the student visa process. The fairs will be day-long events and should be able to accommodate approximately 800 people each. </Description>

        <Description>The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.2 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through tribal and local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all people incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The coordination of reentry of members of Native American tribes is even more complex given that they can return from federal, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state, local, and tribal facilities. The Second Chance Act helps to ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. The Second Chance Act grant funding is designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by reentry and recidivism reduction. &amp;#8220;Reentry&amp;#8221; is not a specific program, but rather a process that starts when an individual is initially incarcerated and ends when he or she has been successfully reintegrated in the community as a law-abiding citizen. Section 211 of the Act authorizes grants to nonprofit organizations and federally recognized Indian tribes that may be used for comprehensive wrap-around services/programs which incorporate the use of trained mentors to promote the safe and successful reintegration into the community of adults who have been incarcerated. It is expected that program participants will be screened, assessed, and identified for program participation pre-release, and ideally, mentoring relationships will begin pre-release. During the post-release phase of the reentry program, participants will receive case management, connection to evidence-based programming designed to ensure that the transition from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful, and the benefit of a mentor. In instances where geographic distance or other obstacles preclude in-person visits between mentors and mentees pre-release, other mechanisms, such as voice and video calling, may be utilized when allowed and appropriate to begin mentoring relationships.</Description>

        <Description>Invasive species can alter fire regimes having detrimental consequences to native ecosystems and can also lead to high intensity wildfires that are typically hard to suppress and cause damage to homes, businesses, and other high value resources. This funding opportunity pertains to the conservation and restoration of grasslands located at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. The project will assess the effects of fire intensity and seasonality in grasslands invaded by the exotic grass species Bothriochloa var. ischaemum var. songarica (King Ranch Bluestem), with the goal of reducing wildfire risk. The goal of this funding opportunity is to develop repeatable management actions that will reverse the loss of native grassland species and consequent increase in wildfire risk due to invasion by King Ranch bluestem. Proposals should focus on experimental manipulations that, if successful, could be incorporated into the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge&amp;apos;s standard procedures for grassland management.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for five distinct, single-country Youth Leadership Programs with Algeria, Belarus, Iraq, the Philippines, and Russia. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to provide youth with four-week exchanges in the United States focused on the primary themes of civic education, leadership development, respect for diversity, and community engagement and to support the implementation of service projects in their home communities. Each program, with the exception of the Youth Leadership Programs with Belarus and Russia, will also engage approximately 3-5 adult educators/community leaders in programming alongside youth participants. Competitively selected U.S. secondary students will join participants in U.S.-based exchange activities on the Belarus and Iraq programs. It is the Bureau&amp;apos;s intent to award five, separate cooperative agreements (one per program), for an estimated total of approximately $4,680,000 (one base year plus two non-competitive continuations per program, pending the availability of funding).</Description>

        <Description>Justice-involved individuals are seven times as likely as the general population to experience mental illness, substance abuse disorders, infectious disease, and chronic health conditions,1 making reentry from jails and prison an especially critical juncture. For individuals reentering communities after incarceration, disruptions in medical care and treatment contribute to increased rates of reincarceration, increased drug use, and poor and costly health outcomes, including a 12-fold increase in the risk of death in the first 2 weeks after release.2 State and local criminal justice systems can play an important role in ensuring justice-involved populations receive assistance and support in applying for healthcare coverage, which can help divert individuals from the criminal justice system, reduce recidivism, and also provide a continuum of care for individuals preparing to reenter their communities after periods of incarceration. This solicitation seeks a national training and technical assistance provider to assist select state and local criminal justice systems in connecting the criminal justice population to community-based health coverage and care, as well as develop resources to assist the broader criminal justice field nationwide.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the FY 2015 Graduate Psychology Education (GPE) Program. The competition is limited to the 40 current GPE grantees whose project periods end June 30, 2016. The grant program aims to educate and train doctoral level psychologists in an integrated and interprofessional approach to treatment with a focus on addressing the psychological needs of military personnel, veterans, and their families in civilian and community-based settings, including those in rural areas. Program Purpose The funding supports American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited doctoral level schools and programs of health service psychology and APA-accredited doctoral internships in health service psychology to provide didactic and experiential training to students and interns interested in working with the target populations in clinical psychology practice. Didactic and experiential (practicum and internship) trainings must focus on providing behavioral health services to the target populations, and emphasize competency-based practices in the integration of behavioral health care into primary care and public health. Trainings also should focus on evidence-based treatments (EBT), military cultural competence, and innovative methods, such as telehealth, to reach and provide behavioral health services to target populations. As required by Section 750(a) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, GPE-funded programs must be implemented in collaboration with two or more health disciplines. Program Requirements GPE grantees will help to close the gap in access to behavioral health care services for military personnel, veterans, and their families by increasing the number of clinically trained psychologists who work with these populations. Applicants must apply as either an accredited doctoral school and program or doctoral internship program. Grantees will be expected to use funds for the following activities: 1) Recruit and provide stipend support to full-time doctoral health service psychology interns and students while in internships and practica for no more than 12 consecutive months, who intend to work with military personnel, veterans, and their families during training and following program completion. 2) Increase the number of practicum and internship slots beyond current training capacity. 3) Develop and implement interprofessional training and integration of behavioral health with primary care and public health in collaboration with two or more health disciplines. 4) Develop or enhance didactic and experiential training programs that train doctoral students and interns in competency-based practices in integration of behavioral health care into primary care and public health, EBT, military culture competence, and innovative methods, such as telehealth, to reach and provide behavioral health services to military personnel, veterans, and their families in civilian and community-based settings, including those in rural areas. 5) Evaluate the program, collect needed program information, and disseminate findings to appropriate audiences. Stipend Support Stipend support is allowed for: 1) Full time interns in APA-accredited doctoral internship programs in health service psychology that focuses on the target population. Interns shall receive a stipend in the amount of $22,920 per year or $1,910 per month for one year. This is a fixed amount. 2) Full time doctoral students in APA-accredited doctoral schools and programs in health service psychology in practica that focus on the target population. Doctoral students in practica for 10 or more hours per week, per academic semester shall receive a stipend in the amount of $10,000 per semester up to $20,000 total stipend payment for one year. This is a fixed amount. No more than one (1) year or 12 consecutive months of stipend support is allowed per student/intern. In the event that a student terminates early from the grant program, the stipend must be prorated according to the amount of time spent in training and the grantee should contact HRSA to discuss options for the remaining stipend funds. Stipends must be paid at the stated level. The payment of stipend must also be consistent with institutional policy, with regards to payment schedule and procedures. Applicants must provide a copy of a student/intern commitment letter template, through which students/interns will commit to complete a practicum placement or internship, and their plan to pursue a career working with military personnel, veterans, and their families. Applicants are to include a copy of the student/intern commitment letter template as Attachment 11. Focus Areas Interns and practica students to the greatest extent possible, must engage in serving military personnel, veterans, and their families. Didactic and experiential training must include learning about and exposure to military language, culture, experiences and the demands of being in the military, and specific behavioral and physical health conditions impacting these populations and their families. Applicants must demonstrate how they will implement interprofessional training and integration of behavioral health with primary care and public health in collaboration with two or more health disciplines. The Lead Project Director must dedicate a minimum of 20 percent of time (may be in-kind or funded) to grant activities, and is encouraged to have a minimum of three years of experience in the education and training of behavioral health service psychologists. Program funds can be used for stipend support for interns and doctoral students, faculty development, curriculum and instructional design, program content enhancement, program infrastructure development, and supervision and training support for students and interns. Applicants should be committed to increasing diversity in health professions training programs and the health workforce. This commitment helps ensure, to the extent possible, that the workforce reflects the diversity of the nation. Training programs should develop the competencies and skills needed for intercultural understanding and expand cultural fluency, recognizing that bringing people of diverse backgrounds and experiences together, facilitates innovative and strategic practices that enhance the health of all people.</Description>

        <Description> Program History The Administration for Community Living (ACL) was created in order to achieve several important objectives: to reduce the fragmentation that currently exists in Federal programs addressing the community living service and support needs of both the aging and disability populations; to enhance access to quality health care and long-term services and supports for all individuals; to promote consistency in community living policy across other areas of the Federal government; and to complement the community infrastructure, as supported by both Medicaid and other Federal programs, in order to better respond to the full spectrum of needs of seniors and persons with disabilities. In order to better serve Medicare beneficiaries the Office of Healthcare Information and Counseling was created. The Office of Healthcare Information and Counseling (OHIC) currently oversee two unique programs, the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program and the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) that each have their own distinctive histories. The SMP program was created under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) which established a national Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) Program designed to coordinate federal, state, and local law enforcement activities with respect to health care fraud and abuse. Now in its seventeenth year of operation, the program continues to demonstrate its success in protecting beneficiaries by identifying and prosecuting the most egregious instances of health care fraud and preventing future fraud, errors, and abuse. As a partner in these fraud control initiatives, ACL funds the SMP program, where grantees recruit, train, and support a network of volunteers who provide outreach and education to Medicare beneficiaries on preventing, identifying, and reporting health care fraud. There are 54 SMP projects nationally, one in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Since 1997, SMP projects have made great progress in recruiting and training volunteers on Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse. Based on the June 2014 OIG SMP Performance Report, there were over 5,400 active SMP volunteers in 2013. These volunteers work in their communities, senior centers, and elsewhere to educate Medicare beneficiaries, their family members, and caregivers to actively protect themselves against fraudulent and abusive health care practices by reviewing their Medicare benefit statements and reporting suspected errors, fraud, and abuse. The State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) was created under Section 4360 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990 (Public Law 101-508). This section of the law authorized the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to make grants to States to establish and maintain health insurance advisory service programs for Medicare beneficiaries. Initially administered by the Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Services (CMS), grant funds were made available to support information, counseling, and assistance activities related to Medicare, Medicaid, and other related health insurance options such as: Medicare supplement insurance, long-term care insurance, managed care options, and other health insurance benefit information. In FY 2014 the SHIP program was transferred from CMS to ACL. This transfer reflects the natural synergies between the SHIP programs and the networks that ACL serves. About two-thirds of the 54 State SHIP programs are already administered by State Units on Aging, with most of the remaining programs administered by State Insurance Commissions. At the community level, many SHIPs are either housed in or create local partnerships with Area Agencies on Aging. Similarly, almost 50 percent of the SHIPs are co-located with the Senior Medicare Patrol program, which is also administered by ACL. Now administered by the Administration for Community Living, the purpose of the SHIP program is to strengthen the capability of states to support a community-based, grassroots network of local SHIP offices that provide personalized counseling, education, and outreach to assist Medicare beneficiaries with their Medicare questions. SHIP project grantees provide community education and one-on-one assistance to Medicare beneficiaries and their families to help them make educated and informed decisions on their health benefit options. There are currently 54 active SHIP grantees nationally, one in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Priority Activities The overall goal of this grant opportunity is to develop innovations that can be successfully replicated by SMP and SHIP grantees to expand and integrate program coverage to better serve traditionally hard-to-reach populations through new, efficient and sustainable approaches for ensuring high quality and culturally competent service delivery. The purpose of the grant is to: Expand the reach of the SMP and SHIP programs to more effectively serve Medicare beneficiaries in the targeted population with high quality and culturally competent services thus increasing community engagement; Provide assistance to the SMP and SHIP project grantees through the development of materials and/or training on best practices to successfully serve the targeted population; Ensure that SMP project grantees have fraud prevention messages and materials available to them to help reach targeted hard-to-reach Medicare beneficiaries and their families, thus increasing beneficiary awareness and empowerment to prevent healthcare fraud among the populations generally underserved by the program; and Provide technical assistance to SHIP project grantees to help them increase beneficiary understanding and awareness among populations generally underserved by the SHIP program to date, of available health benefit options, thus empowering them to make informed healthcare decisions. Applications are sought from entities with expertise and experience in reaching Medicare beneficiaries in the applicant identified target population through a variety of partnerships, collaborative approaches, use of technology, or other innovative strategies. The applicant may select one of the following priority populations for their targeted approach or may submit an application for a different target group if they can provide rationale and data to support the need for that targeted population (Applicants that wish to target more than one of the priority populations must submit separate applications for each population): Medicare Beneficiaries under the age of 65 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Medicare Beneficiaries American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Medicare Beneficiaries Medicare Beneficiaries in Rural Areas Limited-English Speaking Beneficiaries Medicare Beneficiaries of Racial/Ethnic Minority Communities Medicare Beneficiaries of Other Hard-to-Reach Populations Applicants under this announcement are required to design and implement activities which enhance SMP and SHIP grantee efforts. Specifically, applications will be evaluated on how they propose to do the following: Clearly identify and describe the priority population their activities will target. Provide a plan to assist the SMP and SHIP project grantees through the development of materials and/or training on best practices to successfully serve the targeted population including: Identifying and enhancing understanding of the priority population needs; Identifying effective and culturally competent materials and methods for educating the targeted hard- to-reach population; Assisting SMP and SHIP projects in identifying local collaborative partners; Developing methods for recruiting and training volunteers who can best serve the target population; and Identifying any problems or barriers that may impact the success of the project in assisting the SMP and SHIP project grantees in reaching the target population Specify methodology for measurement and tracking of project outcomes. If applicable, describe any Medicare coverage rules that are specific to the target population and any barriers or challenges these may bring to the success of the project. Describe the role and activities of partner organizations in achieving strategies for expanding health care education and awareness within the targeted beneficiary population. Describe proposed project activities, including documented approaches for collaboration with partner organizations, outreach materials and strategies, media tools, tailored approaches for volunteer recruitment and support, and other innovations developed. Develop effective and culturally competent guidance and/or a toolkit to assist SMP and SHIP projects in reaching the identified target population. Provide an ongoing plan for broadly disseminating the outreach strategies, approaches and materials developed for serving the target population to the broader SMP and SHIP national networks, which should include attendance at annual SMP and SHIP grantee training meetings and applicable SMP and SHIP webinar trainings Develop effective and culturally competent guidance and/or a toolkit to assist SMP and SHIP projects in reaching the identified target population. Provide an ongoing plan for broadly disseminating the outreach strategies, approaches and materials developed for serving the target population to the broader SMP and SHIP national networks, which should include attendance at annual SMP and SHIP grantee training meetings and applicable SMP and SHIP webinar trainings. </Description>

        <Description>According to a 2007 study of campus sexual assault, nearly one in five women has been sexually assaulted while in college. To a lesser extent, but often ignored, men are also vulnerable to sexual assault in college . Most college victims are assaulted by someone they know, especially in incapacitated assaults. Reporting rates for campus sexual assault are very low; on average only 12% of student victims report the assault to law enforcement. The trauma caused by sexual assault can be life-long and not all campuses have the resources to effectively help the victim. Even fewer have the clinical background to understand how to deal with the student who is at risk for abusive behaviors, found responsible for an assault or convicted of an assault. Although many campuses have developed resources for the victims of sexual assault who come forward for help, most have not developed sufficient responses to the alleged perpetrators, those convicted of or found responsible for sexual assault or for those at risk to cause harm. Last year, the SMART Office released a solicitation targeting the perpetrators of sexual assault on college campuses. Through the initiative, the SMART Office is funding the development of a treatment curriculum for campus perpetrators of sexual assault to be implemented and tested at multiple colleges and universities. The SMART Office is furthering that effort by seeking to enhance campus safety through the development of primary prevention programs; that is, programs designed to stop sexual violence before it occurs. To date, a number of sexual violence prevention strategies at the college level have focused on brief, one-time sessions, psycho-educational programs aimed at changing attitudes or increasing knowledge of sexual abuse. Unfortunately, rigorous evaluations have shown that these one-time short-term educational programs have limited, if any, effect. In recent years, primary prevention efforts have expanded to focus on reducing the rates of perpetration (rather than just examining victimization), as well as emphasizing community level interventions (rather than focusing exclusively on the individual). This expanded focus is meant to &amp;#8220;decrease the number of actual and potential perpetrators in the population to achieve measurable reductions in the prevalence of sexual violence.&amp;#8221; There are a number of multi-session education programs that are beginning to show effects on attitudes, knowledge and, most importantly, behavior. For instance, the Safe Dates program is effective in reducing the likelihood of future victimization and perpetration by targeting middle and high school students through a multi-session curriculum and associated activities. Additionally, bystander interventions programs at the college level and high school levels, such as Bringing in the Bystander, Coaching Boys into Men, and Green Dot are also considered promising practices. However, they are primarily education and curriculum-based approaches and may not address all of the community level interventions that are possible in a comprehensive prevention approach. This solicitation seeks to complement and build upon these successful sexual violence prevention efforts on college campuses through the development of comprehensive campus-based situational prevention programs.Situational prevention is a criminological approach that examines the various situations (i.e., conditions, locations, circumstances, and policies) that either increase or decrease the risk for a crime to be committed within a given organization or community. This approach has particular relevance for use in organizations and institutions that work with children, adolescents, and young adults&amp;#8211;where the actions, responses and policy enforcement of peers and adults have the most influence. One example of this strategy is Shifting Boundaries, a school-based dating violence prevention program implemented in New York City middle schools, utilizing two key components: a multi-session curriculum and a building-level intervention (focusing on policies and safety). In an evaluation of this program, researchers found that the building-level intervention alone and the combination of the curriculum and building-level intervention contributed to a 32&amp;#8208;47% reduction in peer sexual violence victimization and perpetration in the six months following the intervention. This example points to the need to move away from single-dose education efforts toward perpetration prevention strategies that seek to modify community and contextual supports for sexual violence. In fact, situational prevention assumes that there are opportunities for prevention in addressing the community factors, both physical and policy driven, that may contribute to, or inhibit the possibility of, a crime being committed in a particular situation. Limited, but promising, research has shown that through the use of structural, environmental and/or policy strategies, situational prevention has the potential to create significant reductions in sexual violence perpetration. Goals, Objectives, and DeliverablesThe SMART Office is seeking applications for the Campus-Focused Sexual Assault Perpetration Prevention and Education Program. The goal of the project is to promote evidence-based knowledge to prevent and reduce sexual assault on college and university campuses. SMART seeks to achieve this goal by developing and implementing situational-based sexual assault prevention programs on college and university campuses. The applicant, in the narrative, will provide the name(s) of the college or university campus(es) intended for implementation. Additionally, applicants must collect information about sexual assault statistics, including rates of victimization and perpetration, adjudication processes and available sanctions, as well as other programs aimed at preventing sexual assault on the campus(es).An applicant will be selected for SMART Office funding based upon their responses to the Selection Criteria listed in the section, &amp;#8220;What an Application Must Include&amp;#8221; on page 11. The application should clearly describe and demonstrate how the project will:&amp;#8226; Develop and implement a situational prevention strategy that includes, but is not limited to, a focus on preventing the perpetration of sexual violence through targeted and universal efforts, strategies that address community level risk and protective factors, and one that is integrated into existing practices so that the environmental, policy or other changes are a part of a more comprehensive strategy.&amp;#8226; Incorporate prevention of perpetration strategies that are culturally relevant.&amp;#8226; Build knowledge and new evidence on perpetration prevention opportunities to further support the program and its replication on additional campuses.&amp;#8226; Protect victim safety through supportive services and advocacy and avoid any strategies that may traumatize or blame victims.&amp;#8226; Explore the use of the existing evidence-based educational curriculum, safety policies that promote environmental changes to enhance any potential situational prevention strategies in order to reduce the perpetration of sexual violence.&amp;#8226; Collect program development data.&amp;#8226; Work collaboratively with the SMART Office.&amp;#8226; Participate in any external research or evaluations at a later date (should funds become available).In addition, applications must include a monitoring and evaluation plan for information collection and analysis. Applicants are encouraged to consider and include the following outcomes of interest in monitoring and evaluation plans:&amp;#8226; Changes in knowledge about campus policies and state or federal laws related to consent, sexual harassment, and sexually abusive behavior, resources for help both on and off campus, rape myths, and increase in student involved-prevention skills (e.g., bystander interventions); &amp;#8226; Changes in attitudes about the acceptability of violent, abusive, and harassing behaviors; &amp;#8226; Information about strategies used to reach underserved populations such as LGBT, students with disabilities and African American, Tribal, Hispanic, Asian Pacific Islanders or International students.&amp;#8226; Evidence of behavioral intentions to avoid committing a range of unwanted behavior, from sexual harassment to sexual violence in the future as well as intentions to intervene when in the position of a bystander; &amp;#8226; Information on dating violence, sexual violence and sexual harassment experienced as someone who is victimized or someone who may perpetrate these behaviors; and &amp;#8226; Information on prior attendance at an educational program about sexual assault, sexual harassment, or dating violence; healthy relationships training and students&amp;#8217; prior history of dating and dating violence. A comprehensive report will be the final deliverable for this project. The report should contain, but not be limited to the following:&amp;#8226; The final situational prevention strategies and/or curriculum developed targeting perpetration behaviors.&amp;#8226; A detailed description of the theoretical and evidence-base for the perpetration prevention strategy.&amp;#8226; Documentation of the process for implementing the initiative.&amp;#8226; Descriptive information on the number of individuals reached and/or served.&amp;#8226; Campus profiles (including demographics, campus climate survey information, adjudication information, and other adjunct sexual violence and harassment prevention programming).&amp;#8226; An ongoing monitoring and evaluation plan.&amp;#8226; Any outcome information available from the above-mentioned outcomes of interest.</Description>

        <Description>The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invite novel research grant applications to address the problem of HIV-1 persistence focused solely on the central nervous system (CNS) of HIV-infected persons treated with Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART). This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support highly innovative research in five areas: (1) basic research to identify and characterize CNS-based cellular reservoirs of HIV-1 for individuals on HAART; (2) basic research to determine the mechanisms involved in the temporal establishment, maintenance, and resurgence of CNS-based HIV-1 reservoirs in relationship to the effects and timing of HAART, viral expression, and viral evolution within the brain; (3) development of physiologically relevant animal models and CNS-based cellular assays that recapitulate HIV-1 persistence and latency in the presence of effective HAART; (4) drug screening of potential agents which traverse the blood-brain barrier and eliminate latent or other sources of residual virus in the CNS; and (5) design of therapeutic strategies aimed at eradication of HIV-1 from the CNS. Applications ranging from basic to translational research in domestic and international settings are of interest. Multidisciplinary research teams are encouraged but not required. </Description>

        <Description>America&amp;#8217;s cultural heritage is preserved not only in libraries, museums, archives, and other community organizations, but also in all of our homes, family histories, and life stories. The Common Heritage program aims to capture this vitally important part of our country&amp;#8217;s heritage and preserve it for future generations. Common Heritage will support both the digitization of cultural heritage materials and the organization of public programming at community events that explore these materials as a window on a community&amp;#8217;s history and culture. The Common Heritage program recognizes that members of the public&amp;#8212;in partnership with libraries, museums, archives, and historical organizations&amp;#8212;have much to contribute to the understanding of our cultural mosaic. Together, such institutions and the public can be effective partners in the appreciation and stewardship of our common heritage. The program supports day-long events organized by community cultural institutions, which members of the public will be invited to attend. At these events experienced staff will digitize the community historical materials brought in by the public. Project staff will also record descriptive information&amp;#8212;provided by community attendees&amp;#8212;about the historical materials. Contributors will be given a free digital copy of their items to take home, along with the original materials. With the owner&amp;#8217;s permission, digital copies of these materials would be included in the institutions&amp;#8217; collections. Historical photographs, artifacts, documents, family letters, art works, and audiovisual recordings are among the many items eligible for digitization and public commemoration. Projects must also present public programming that would expand knowledge of the community&amp;#8217;s history. Public programs could include lectures, panels, reading and discussion, special gallery tours, screening and discussion of relevant films, presentations by a historian, special initiatives for families and children, or comments by curators about items brought in by the public. These public programs should provide a framework for a deeper understanding of the community members&amp;#8217; shared or divergent histories. The programs may take place before, during, and/or after the day of the digitization event. Applicants may but need not include in their proposals a topic around which the event and the public programming would be organized. Topics proposed for the public programming may also be proposed for the digitization event. The applicant institution must plan, promote, and organize the event and ensure that a wide range of historical materials can be digitized and also contextualized through public programming. Since the help of additional institutions and organizations in the community may be needed to accomplish this work, the applicant must take responsibility for enlisting appropriate organizations or institutions, such as local libraries and museums, to contribute to the project, as needed. NEH especially welcomes applications from small and medium-sized institutions that have not previously received NEH support. </Description>

        <Description> i. Purpose: The purpose of these activities is to support the goals of the HHS Action Plan for the Prevention, Care, and Treatment of Viral Hepatitis, 2014-2016 (available at http://aids.gov/pdf/viral-hepatitis-action-plan.pdf) by ensuring Hepatitis B-infected pregnant women are identified so that their infants can receive timely post-exposure prophylaxis, improvements in post-vaccination serologic testing to improve efficiencies, and data collection to assess infant outcomes ii. Outcomes: Increased identification of Hepatitis B-infected pregnant women; increased rates of post-vaccination serologic testing among infants born to Hepatitis B-infected pregnant women; and assessment of factors associated with infant outcomes iii. Strategies and Activities: Collaborations: To maximize opportunities for Hepatitis B prevention through vaccination, referral for care, and treatment of persons found to have chronic Hepatitis B infection, this FOA encourages Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program collaborations and service integration as a program imperative of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. Such collaborations can increase efficiency, reduce redundancy, eliminate missed opportunities, and improve outcomes through the use of shared data and services. a. With CDC-funded programs: Applicants should create and build upon internal health department collaborations to improve identification of Hepatitis B-infected pregnant women; screen their household and sexual contacts for Hepatitis B and complete vaccination of susceptible persons; refer persons with chronic Hepatitis B infection for care and treatment; and report infants, household, and sexual contacts with chronic Hepatitis B infection to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System. b. With organizations external to CDC: Opportunities for collaboration with non-CDC organizations will be encouraged; non-CDC organizations may include commercial laboratories and health systems, other federal agencies, non-profit organizations, and professional societies. 2. Target Populations: Target populations shall represent a diversity of Hepatitis B-infected pregnant women with regards to race, ethnicity, and country of birth (i.e., U.S.-born versus foreign-born). 1.a. Inclusion: N/A iv. Funding Strategy: N/A b. Evaluation and Performance Measurement: i. CDC Evaluation and Performance Measurement Strategy: The proportion of Hepatitis B-infected pregnant women identified (compared to estimated), compared to prior years based on data submitted by Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Programs; the proportion of infants receiving timely post-vaccination serologic testing (by 12 and 18 months of age), compared to prior years, and identification of barriers to post-vaccination serologic testing to help model best practices; demographic and clinical factors (both maternal and infant) associated with infant outcomes (awardees will collect and manage data and submit to CDC for analysis). ii. Applicant Evaluation and Performance Measurement Plan: Applicants shall describe procedures planned or currently used to carry out and monitor the performance of these activities, including but not limited to tracking progress, reporting, and data collection. c. Organizational Capacity of Awardees to Execute the Approach: Applicants shall describe the anticipated level of organizational capacity needed to implement the award. Organizational capacity includes skill sets such as program planning, program evaluation, performance monitoring, financial reporting, budget management and administration, and personnel management. Applicants shall describe prior and current collaborative efforts with commercial laboratories to improve the identification of Hepatitis B-infected pregnant women. Applicants should demonstrate relevant experience and capacity (management, administrative, and technical) to implement the activities and achieve the project outcomes, experience and capacity to implement the evaluation plan, and a staffing plan and project management structure sufficient to achieve the project outcomes and which clearly define staff roles. Applicants must also be fully capable of managing the required procurement efforts, including the ability to write and award contracts in accordance with applicable regulations. d. Work Plan: Applicants should provide a high-level work plan that covers the duration of the project, with more detail for Fiscal Year 2016. Applicants should clearly describe how the components in the work plan crosswalk to the strategies and activities and outcomes presented in the logic model and narrative sections of the FOA. The work plan is not a separate, stand alone document. e. CDC Monitoring and Accountability Approach: Monitoring activities include routine and ongoing communication between CDC and awardees, site visits, and awardee reporting (including work plans, performance, and financial reporting). Consistent with applicable grants regulations and policies, CDC expects the following to be included in post-award monitoring for grants and cooperative agreements: Tracking awardee progress in achieving the desired outcomes. Ensuring the adequacy of awardee systems that underlie and generate data reports. Creating an environment that fosters integrity in program performance and results. Monitoring may also include the following activities: Ensuring that work plans are feasible based on the budget and consistent with the intent of the award. Ensuring that awardees are performing at a sufficient level to achieve outcomes within stated timeframes. Working with awardees on adjusting the work plan based on achievement of outcomes, evaluation results, and changing budgets. Monitoring performance measures (both programmatic and financial) to assure satisfactory performance levels. Other activities deemed necessary to monitor the award, if applicable. These activities may include monitoring and reporting activities that assist grants management staff (e.g., grants management officers and specialists, and project officers) in the identification, notification, and management of high-risk grantees. f. CDC Program Support to Awardees: CDC and awardees share responsibility for successful implementation of the award and meeting the identified outcomes. CDC will have substantial involvement with this FOA, referring to federal programmatic collaboration or participation that the awardee can expect in implementing the award. Frequent conference calls will be scheduled to assure milestones are met on time and appropriately. CDC will provide technical assistance in the form of commitment of personnel with subject matter expertise in perinatal Hepatitis B and epidemiology/public health. CDC will facilitate information sharing between awardees and subject matter experts through conference calls and other avenues to be determined. CDC will perform analyses on data submitted by awardees. CDC-RFA-PS16-1602 Logic Model: Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program - Auxiliary Prevention Projects Strategies and Activities Short-Term Outcomes Long-Term Outcomes Strategy: Increase identification of Hepatitis B-infected pregnant women Activity #1: Capture-recapture analysis, e.g., review of commercial laboratory testing results for pregnant women, metabolic screening data, immunization registries, etc. to increase identification of infants born to Hepatitis B-infected women for case management and prophylaxis Activity #2: Training providers of women/infants who were not reported prenatally to the Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program of importance of reporting and case management/prophylaxis Narrowing the gap between the expected and identified number of Hepatitis B- infected pregnant women, resulting in an increase in proportion of infants receiving case management and post-exposure prophylaxis Reduction in perinatal Hepatitis B infections with subsequent reduction in early deaths due to cirrhosis or liver cancer Strategy: Improve proportion of case-managed infants receiving post-vaccination serologic testing Activity #1: Enhanced tracking and follow-up procedures of case-managed infants to improve proportion receiving post-vaccination serologic testing, prioritizing infants born to mothers who are Hepatitis B e antigen positive or who have viral loads greater than or equal to 106 copies/mL when these laboratory results are available Activity #2: Identify barriers to post-vaccination serologic testing to help model best practices Increasing rates of post-vaccination serologic testing among case-managed infants, resulting in increased revaccination of nonresponding infants and improved identification and linkage to care for infected infants Reduction in horizontal transmission of Hepatitis B infection with subsequent reduction in early deaths due to cirrhosis or liver cancer; facilitation of medical follow-up for perinatally-infected infants Strategy: Ascertain demographic and clinical factors associated with perinatal Hepatitis B transmission and vaccine response Activity #1: Collect and report data on mothers and infants, including data regarding maternal antiviral therapy, for analysis Ascertainment of factors associated with Hepatitis B transmission and vaccine response Ascertainment of factors associated with Hepatitis B transmission and vaccine response </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications to address implementation questions facing World Bank designated low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in their efforts to scale up sustainable, evidence-based mental health interventions and thereby eliminate the mental health care treatment gap for children, women, and men. The mental health treatment gap refers to the proportion of persons who need, but do not receive care. Each awarded project is to conduct implementation research and research capacity-building activities in LMICs in any one of the following geographical regions: East Asia and the Pacific; Europe and Central Asia; Latin America and the Caribbean; Middle East and North Africa; South Asia; Sub-Saharan Africa. As a group, awardees will constitute a network for mental health implementation research in LMICs with capabilities for answering research questions about going to scale with mental health interventions, sustaining high-quality mental health care in resource-limited settings, and fostering evidence-based mental health policy and program development on an ongoing basis. This program is not intended to support research that can be conducted primarily in and/or by United States or other high income country institutions. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned.

        <Description>The Autism Research Program (ARP) Idea Development Award supports the development of innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate progress in improving outcomes for individuals with autism. This award mechanism is designed to support innovative ideas with the potential to yield impactful data and new avenues of investigation. The FY15 ARP Idea Development Award seeks applications from all areas of basic and preclinical research, and strongly encourages applications that address the critical needs of the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) community in the following areas: Assessment of novel therapeutics using valid preclinical models Environmental risk factors Mechanisms of heterogeneous clinical expression of ASD Mechanisms underlying conditions co-occurring with ASD (e.g., sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal issues, aggression, depression, anxiety) Factors promoting success in key transitions to independence for individuals living with ASD The FY15 ARP supports collaborative research to bring a new perspective to ASD research and/or facilitate progress in the field by combined efforts. Therefore, the FY15 ARP is offering a Multiple PI Option for this award mechanism. The Multiple PI Option is structured so that two investigators, each of whom will be designated as a PI and receive a separate award, will work synergistically on a single project.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) envisions a nation where our children are healthy, educated, and free from violence. If they come into contact with the juvenile justice system, the contact should be rare, fair, and beneficial to them. To meet this vision, this program will focus on increasing the effectiveness of juvenile drug courts by: (1) supporting programs or strategies that recognize and engage the family as a valued partner in all components of the program; (2) supporting local training programs or teams that educate practitioners and their families to meet the needs of the adolescent client and include adolescent brain development, integrated treatment, trauma-informed care, cultural competency, and strong judicial interaction; (3) supporting the development of local programs that will engage stakeholders and build or enhance partnerships among judges, representatives from behavioral health treatment programs, juvenile justice, social services, school and vocational training programs, law enforcement, probation, prosecution, defense, and community organizations; (4) supporting existing juvenile drug courts to monitor and evaluate current practices to develop strategies to create policies and procedures that will address and provide solutions to identified local barriers and (5) developing and implementing data management systems, including disaggregated data by race and ethnicity of participants. OJJDP will make awards to currently operating juvenile drug courts to enhance their capacity to address barriers they encounter as they provide services to youth. </Description>

        <Description>The PRMRP Clinical Trial Award supports the rapid implementation of clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on a disease or condition addressed in at least one of the Congressionally directed FY15 PRMRP Topic Areas. Clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologics), devices, clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches and technologies. Proposed projects may range from small proof-of-concept trials to demonstrate feasibility or inform the design of more advanced trials (e.g., pilot, first in human, Phase 0), through large-scale trials to determine efficacy in relevant patient populations. All studies must be responsive to the healthcare needs of the military Service members, Veterans, and/or beneficiaries; however, the use of military or Veteran populations is not required.</Description>

        <Description>The intent of the PRMRP Discovery Award is to support innovative, untested, high-risk/ potentially high-reward research that will provide new insights, paradigms, technologies, or applications. Studies supported by this award are expected to lay the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on a sound scientific rationale and study design. The proposed research project should be novel and innovative. Innovative research may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative and is not consistent with the intent of this award mechanism.</Description>

        <Description>In FY 2013 the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) released the 2011-2012 findings from the most recent surveys of jail and prison inmates about incidences of sexual victimization.1 Based on this information, 4.0 percent of state and federal prison inmates, and 3.2 percent of jail inmates within the United States, reported experiencing one or more incidents of sexual victimization by another inmate or facility staff in the past 12 months or since admission to the facility.2 In juvenile facilities, the numbers were even more troubling. An estimated 9.5 percent of adjudicated youth in state juvenile facilities and state contract facilities (representing 1,720 youth nationwide) reported experiencing one or more incidents of sexual victimization by another youth or staff in the past 12 months or since admission, if less than 12 months.3 On June 20, 2012, DOJ published the Final Rule creating standards as required by the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). The standards apply to adult prisons and jails, juvenile correctional facilities, police lockups, and community residential centers. The standards, which took effect on August 20, 2012, seek to prevent sexual abuse and to reduce the harm that it causes. The standards are grouped into 11 categories: prevention planning, responsive planning, training and education, screening for risk of sexual victimization and abusiveness, reporting, official response following an inmate report, investigations, discipline, medical and mental care, data collection and review, and audits.</Description>

        <Description>The Wildlife Without Borders-Amphibians in Decline program will fund projects that conserve the worlds rapidly declining amphibian species. Species eligible for funding are those frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians that currently face a very high risk of extinction. Species should meet the criteria to be listed as Critically Endangered or Endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Species listed as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List are also eligible if the applicant can provide information that suggests a similar urgency for conservation action. Species listed as Extinct in Wild are eligible if the applicant is proposing a reintroduction attempt. The goal of this grants program is to reduce threats to highly endangered amphibians in their natural habitat. Proposals should identify specific conservation actions that have a high likelihood of creating durable benefits. Project activities that emphasize data collection and status assessment should describe a direct link to management action, and explain how lack of information has been a key limiting factor for management action in the past. Proposals that do not identify how actions will reduce threats, or do not demonstrate a strong link between data collection and management action, are not eligible for consideration. To the extent that the proposed work provides clear, direct support for the program objectives above, proposals may also relate to climate change adaptation, mitigation, and education. Although projects addressing all threats (e.g., disease, habitat loss and degradation) to amphibians are eligible, proposals have a higher likelihood of being selected that advance one or more of the strategic priorities of the United States National Strategy for Combating Wildlife Trafficking, including: (1) Strengthening efforts to stop illegal trade in wildlife and to enforce laws prohibiting wildlife trafficking; (2) Reducing demand for illegally traded wildlife by dissuading consumers from purchasing illegally traded wildlife; and (3) Expanding government and civil support for, and encouraging new partnerships in, the fight against wildlife trafficking. Proposed project work should occur within the species range, or, if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show a clear relevance to its conservation. Proposals that emphasize ex-situ conservation and captive management are not eligible for consideration.</Description>

        <Description>PRM seeks to support the development of new approaches and tools to strengthen humanitarian response to urban and other non-camp refugees globally. UNHCR has issued two related non-camp policies - Policy on Refugee Protection and Solutions in Urban Areas (2009) and Policy on Alternatives to Camps (2014), and in 2011 PRM issued Principles for Refugee Protection in Urban Areas. These documents recognize the new challenges posed by urban/non-camp environments and point to a range of new strategies required to meet the specific needs of vulnerable populations in these settings. Consensus has formed around the need for humanitarian actors outside of camps to undertake entirely new models of assistance, moving away from service-delivery to facilitating access to existing services and from material assistance to efforts to foster self-reliance. In many cases, this requires new roles for humanitarian actors: to serve more as facilitators, advisors, and advocates than service providers. Although a number of new strategies have been identified in principle, and guidance and best practices are steadily accumulating, the international humanitarian community still struggles to put these tools into practice, systematically and coherently, in non-camp settings around the world. Additional tools and models of assistance need to be developed, tested, refined and adapted to help humanitarian actors respond effectively outside of camps.PRM is seeking the development and piloting of new tools and models of assistance that will enable the humanitarian community to address a range of challenges unique to urban/non-camp settings.</Description>

        <Description>The Wildlife Without Borders - Critically Endangered Animals Conservation Fund will fund projects that conserve the worlds most endangered species that currently face a very high risk of extinction. Species should meet the criteria to be categorized as threatened on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List (including Critically Endangered, Endangered, and Vulnerable). Species listed as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List are also eligible if the applicant can provide information that suggests a similar urgency for conservation action. Species listed as Extinct in Wild are eligible if the applicant is proposing a reintroduction attempt. The following species are NOT eligible for funding: Species with natural habitat range located within the United States, territories of the United States, Canada, and the high income economies of Europe; Species that are eligible for funding under one of the Multinational Species Conservation Fund programs, including: Asian elephant, African elephant, rhinoceros (all species), tiger (all sub-species), gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo, orangutan, gibbons (all species) and marine turtles (all species); and Amphibian species that are eligible for funding through the Wildlife Without Borders - Amphibians in Decline program, including frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. The goal of this program is to reduce threats to highly endangered wildlife in their natural habitat. Proposals should identify specific conservation actions that have a high likelihood of creating durable benefits. Project activities that emphasize data collection and status assessment should describe a direct link to management action, and explain how lack of information has been a key limiting factor for management action in the past.

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to stimulate the development of innovative tools and strategies for curing HIV infection. HIV establishes latent infection in long-lived cells that form a reservoir of virus that persists in infected individuals even after years of treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Curing HIV infection requires innovative strategies to identify and eliminate these reservoir cells. The task is especially difficult given the lack of HIV protein expression during latency and the low frequency of latently infected cells during treatment. Novel approaches are therefore sought to efficiently monitor and specifically target reservoirs of latently infected cells to facilitate the testing of strategies to cure HIV infection in vivo. </Description>

        <Description>Background: BLM Salt Lake Field Office SLFO is seeking proposals to assist with development of an OHV/ATV trail system in the West Desert of northern Utah. The Prospector Trail system was proposed by Utah State Parks as a means to provide long-distance trail riding opportunities for OHV/ATV riders and their families to supplement off-set the short range riding opportunities currently available at Fivemile Pass Recreation Area and Little Sahara SRMA both popular OHV/ATV play areas. The concept is a series of loop routes around several mountain ranges in the West Desert with connector routes between each loop and extending from Fivemile Pass Recreation Area to Little Sahara. The development, operation and maintenance of an off-highway vehicle OHV trail system is important to achieving the missions of the Forest Service, BLM and the State to provide outstanding OHV recreation opportunities for the public. In 2014, a Memorandum of Understanding for joint cooperation in the development, operation and maintenance of the Prospector Trail system was signed by Tooele and Juab counties; Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest; Utah Division of Parks and Recreation; School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration; and BLM Salt Lake and Fillmore Field Offices. This project is to continue support of the goals that are outlined in the MOU. Objectives: The primary objective of the Prospector Trail system is the establishment of an identified, well-marked and maintained long-distance trail system with adequate support facilities such as trailheads that is open to the general public for recreational motorized vehicle use especially OHVs, ATVs and UTVs that is free from conflict with other public land users and private landowners, provides protection for natural resources, respects public and private property, promotes responsible use of OHVs and provides an economic boost for surrounding communities.</Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grant Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitat, including species that are not hunted or fished. Activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#191;s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan (Wildlife Action Plan) that was to be submitted by October 1, 2005 and must be approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Wildlife Action Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species with the greatest conservation need and taking into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project which directly contributes to the conservation of wildlife species of greatest conservation need and their habitats, and is consistent with the development or implementation of the State&amp;#191;s Wildlife Action Plan.</Description>

        <CloseDateExplanation>Applications Available: April 20, 2015.        Note:  On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately.   One provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name was changed to the Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools. NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer review. We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants.        Date of Pre-Application Meeting: May 11, 2015. Date of Pre-Application Meeting: Interested parties are invited to participate in a pre-application meeting and to receive information and technical assistance through individual consultation with NIDILRR staff. The pre-application meeting will be held on May 11, 2015.   Interested parties may participate in this meeting by conference call with NIDILRR staff from the Administration for Community Living between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., Washington, DC time. NIDILRR staff also will be available from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the same day, by telephone, to provide information and technical assistance through individual consultation. For further information or to make arrangements to participate in the meeting via conference call or to arrange for an individual consultation, contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT in section VII of this notice.        Deadline for Notice of Intent to Apply: May 26, 2015. Notice of Intent to Apply: Due to the open nature of the RRTC priority announced here, and to assist with the selection of reviewers for this competition, NIDILRR is requesting all potential applicants submit a letter of intent (LOI). The submission is not mandatory and the content of the LOI will not be peer reviewed or otherwise used to rate an applicant&amp;apos;s application.      Each LOI should be limited to a maximum of four pages and include the following information: (1) The title of the proposed project, the name of the applicant, the name of the Project Director or Principal Investigator (PI), and the names of partner institutions and entities; (2) a brief statement of the vision, goals, and objectives of the proposed project and a description of its proposed activities at a sufficient level of detail to allow NIDILRR to select potential peer reviewers; (3) a list of proposed project staff including the Project Director or PI and key personnel; (4) a list of individuals whose selection as a peer reviewer might constitute a conflict of interest due to involvement in proposal development, selection as an advisory board member, co-PI relationships, etc.; and (5) contact information for the Project Director or PI. Submission of a LOI is not a prerequisite for eligibility to submit an application.      NIDILRR will accept the optional LOI via mail (through the U.S. Postal Service    or commercial carrier) or email, by May 26, 2015. The LOI must be sent to: Patricia Barrett, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 550 12th Street, SW., Room 5142, PCP, Washington, DC 20202; or by email to:   Patricia.Barrett@acl.hhs.gov.

        <CloseDateExplanation>Applications Available: April 20, 2015.        Note: On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately.   One provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name   was changed to the Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority   notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will   continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools. NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to   grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer   review. We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide   for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants.        Date of Pre-Application Meeting: May 11, 2015. Date of Pre-Application Meeting: Interested parties are invited to   participate in a pre-application meeting and to receive information and technical assistance through individual consultation with NIDILRR staff. The pre-application meeting will be held on May 11, 2015.   Interested parties may participate in this meeting by conference call with NIDILRR staff from the Administration for Community Living between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., Washington, DC time. NIDILRR staff also will be available from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the same day, by telephone, to provide information and technical assistance through individual consultation. For further information or to make arrangements to participate in the meeting via conference call or to arrange for an individual consultation, contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT in section VII of this notice.        Deadline for Notice of Intent to Apply: May 26, 2015. Notice of Intent to Apply: Due to the open nature of the RRTC priority announced here, and to assist with the selection of reviewers for this competition, NIDILRR is requesting all potential applicants submit a letter of intent (LOI). The submission is not mandatory and the content of the LOI will not be peer reviewed or otherwise used to rate an applicant&amp;apos;s application.      Each LOI should be limited to a maximum of four pages and include the following information: (1) The title of the proposed project, the name of the applicant, the name of the Project Director or Principal Investigator (PI), and the names of partner institutions and entities; (2) a brief statement of the vision, goals, and objectives of the proposed project and a description of its proposed activities at a sufficient level of detail to allow NIDILRR to select potential peer reviewers; (3) a list of proposed project staff including the Project Director or PI and key personnel; (4) a list of individuals whose selection as a peer reviewer might constitute a conflict of interest due to involvement in proposal development, selection as an advisory board member, co-PI relationships, etc.; and (5) contact information for the Project Director or PI. Submission of a LOI is not a prerequisite for eligibility to submit an application.      NIDILRR will accept the optional LOI via mail (through the U.S. Postal Service or commercial carrier) or email, by May 26, 2015. The LOI must be sent to: Patricia Barrett, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 550 12th Street, SW., room 5142, PCP, Washington, DC 20202; or by email to: Patricia.Barrett@acl.hhs.gov.

        <Description>Under the FY 2012 Continuing Appropriations Act, $526,944,000 is available through September 30, 2013, for the Department to make TIGER Discretionary Grants on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. Projects eligible for funding provided under this program include, but are not limited to, highway or bridge projects eligible under title 23, United States Code, including interstate rehabilitation, improvements to the rural collector road system, the reconstruction of overpasses and interchanges, bridge replacements, seismic retrofit projects for bridges, and road realignments; public transportation projects eligible under chapter 53 of title 49, United States Code, including investments in projects participating in the New Starts or Small Starts programs that will expedite the completion of those projects and their entry into revenue service; passenger and freight rail transportation projects; and port infrastructure investments, including projects that connect ports to other modes of transportation and improve the efficiency of freight movement. The Department may also use an amount not to exceed $175,000,000 for the purpose of paying the subsidy and administrative costs of projects eligible for federal credit assistance under chapter 6 of title 23, United States Code, if the Department finds that such use of the funds would advance the purposes of this program. In distributing funds available under this program, the Department must take measures to ensure an equitable geographic distribution of funds and an appropriate balance in addressing the needs of urban and rural communities. Grants provided under this program shall generally be not less than $10,000,000 and not greater than $200,000,000, however, projects located in rural areas, the minimum grant size shall be $1,000,000. The Federal share of the costs for which an expenditure is made under this program may be up to 80 percent, however, the Department may increase the Federal share of costs above 80 percent for projects located in rural areas. The Department will give priority to projects that require a contribution of Federal funds in order to complete an overall financing package.

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is pleased to announce the availability of research funding in 2015 to investigate issues related directly to the management of white-nose syndrome (WNS). This opportunity is open to non-governmental, university, and private researchers, as well as State, Federal, and Tribal agency personnel. For information on WNS and currently funded projects, please see: http://www.whitenosesyndrome.org/ As of April 10, 2015, WNS or evidence of the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) has been reported from at least one location in 28 states and five Canadian provinces in North America: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Seven North American and eleven European species of bats have been confirmed with WNS and additional five North American and two European species have been detected carrying Pd. Surveys in affected areas continue to reveal population declines associated with the disease, and evidence to date suggests that affected bat species are not likely to stabilize or recover in the immediate future. The Service has targeted up to $1.5 million for an open funding opportunity in 2015 to investigate high priority questions about WNS that will improve our ability to manage the disease and conserve affected bats. Available funds are from internally directed Fiscal Year 2015 funds. </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this program is to support the advancement of regulatory science that can facilitate the implementation and the assessment of emerging manufacturing technology in the pharmaceutical sector. Emerging manufacturing technology can be viewed as a technology that has the potential to modernize the pharmaceutical manufacturing body of knowledge to support more robust, predictable, and/or cost-effective processes and with which the FDA has limited review or inspection experiences, due to its relative novelty. Examples of such elements include an innovative or novel: (1) product manufacturing technology, such as the dosage form; (2) manufacturing process (e.g., design, scale-up, and/or commercial scale); and/or (3) testing technology. </Description>

        <Description>A report by World Health Organization in 2014 stated that New Delhi has the most polluted air in the world. The same list states a number of other cities in North India are amongst the 30 cities with the worst air pollution in the world, i.e. Ghaziabad, Kanpur, Allahabad, Jalandhar, Lucknow, Agra, Ludhiana, Khanna, and Jodhpur. Air pollution has serious health effects for India&amp;#8217;s communities, as studies show that high levels of air pollution lead to declines in life expectancy. High levels of air pollution also have consequences for the business climate in North India, as foreign companies are wary of placing their personnel in cities with high air pollution and tourists are dissuaded from traveling there. To help address this issue, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi invites program proposals for a series of workshops focused on air quality issues in North India. Through these workshops, the U.S. Embassy seeks to connect American air quality experts with local stakeholders so as to share insights and best practices in the campaign to reduce air pollution in North India. The workshops will be held in New Delhi and three to four other North Indian cities, and will engage communities and help Indian stakeholders to develop recommendations on how to improve the air quality situation in North India. These workshops should include participation by local policymakers, advocates, experts, and community members. The ideal program would also involve outreach to the local business community so that it can understand how the air pollution problem affects their interests. (Please refer full announcement). </Description>

        <CloseDateExplanation> Applications Available: April 20, 2015.        Note:  On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately.   One provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name   was changed to the Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority   notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will   continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools. NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to   grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer   review. We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide   for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants.      Date of Pre-Application Meeting: May 11, 2015. Date of Pre-Application Meeting: Interested parties are invited to participate in a pre-application meeting and to receive information and technical assistance through individual consultation with NIDILRR staff. The pre-application meeting will be held on May 11, 2015. Interested parties may participate in this meeting by conference call with NIDILRR staff from the Administration for Community Living between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., Washington, DC time. NIDILRR staff also will be available from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the same day, by telephone, to provide information and technical assistance through individual consultation. For further information or to make arrangements to participate in the meeting via conference call or to arrange for an individual consultation, contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT in section VII of this notice.          Deadline for Notice of Intent to Apply: May 26, 2015. Notice of Intent to Apply: Due to the open nature of the RRTC priority announced here, and to assist with the selection of reviewers for this competition, NIDILRR is requesting all potential applicants submit a letter of intent (LOI). The submission is not mandatory and the content of the LOI will not be peer reviewed or otherwise used to rate an applicant&amp;apos;s application.

Submission of a LOI is not a prerequisite for eligibility to submit an application.      NIDILRR will accept the optional LOI via mail (through the U.S. Postal Service or commercial carrier) or email, by May 26, 2015.

        <Description>The purpose of the NHLBI SBIR Phase IIB Bridge Award is to facilitate and accelerate the capital-intensive steps that are required to transition SBIR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage by promoting partnerships between SBIR Phase II awardees and third-party investors and/or strategic partners. Applicants must submit a Commercialization Plan, which should include details on any independent third-party funding that has already been secured or is anticipated during the Phase IIB Bridge Award project period. It is expected that the level of this independent third-party funding will be equal to or greater than the NHLBI funds being requested throughout the Phase IIB Bridge Award project period. Projects proposed in response to this FOA must relate to the NHLBI mission and require eventual Federal regulatory approval/clearance. Proposed projects may address preclinical and/or clinical stages of technology development. Clinical trials may be proposed as appropriate, but are not required. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications from institutions/ organizations for inclusion into FDA&amp;apos;s Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) Cooperative Agreement Program for Microbiological, Chemical, and/or Radiological laboratories. The FERN cooperative agreements are intended to target state, local, and tribal FERN laboratories to provide increased analytical capacity and expertise (including method development and validation) in the event of food outbreaks or other large-scale food emergency events requiring surge capacity testing of implicated food samples. These samples could involve foods and/or environmental samples related to foods, and will be collected by Federal, State, or local agencies. Selected labs with potential sample collection capabilities may be tasked with sample collection activities in support of this program. Numbers of samples and scheduling of samples will be determined by the FERN National Program Office (NPO) in coordination with grantees. Federal or State surveillance assignments will also be a source of samples for lab analysis. The FDA estimates that the analysis of up to 480 emergency response and surveillance samples per year may be needed. These cooperative agreements will also be utilized to implement standardized analytical results through the usage of standardized methods, equipment platforms (funded through this cooperative agreement) analytical worksheets, and electronic reporting. Each lab should have a quality management system in place to ensure data quality. Laboratories will be encouraged to obtain ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation or adopt a quality system comparable to this international standard. Grantees will also be involved in small-scale, short-term method development and method validation projects as directed by the FERN NPO. Matrix extension assignments are also required and can have the potential of requiring rapid turn- around times to respond to food outbreaks. </Description>

        <Description>This synopsis was posted previously on 20 June 2015 under solicitation NNH15ZOA001N-15STP_E1. Its number has been modified slightly to accomodate posting of this synopsis on grants.gov. No other changes have been made to this synopsis from earlier postings on NAIS, but this supercedes those. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released a solicitation, titled Smallsat Technology Partnerships (STP), as an appendix to the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) umbrella NASA Research Announcement (NRA) titled &amp;quot;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015), on April 20, 2015. The solicitation is available by opening the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ , selecting &amp;quot;Solicitations,&amp;quot; then selecting &amp;quot;Open Solicitations,&amp;quot; and, finally, selecting &amp;#147;Smallsat Technology Partnerships (STP).&amp;#148; STMD, and the Small Spacecraft Technology Program in particular, seek proposals from U.S. colleges and universities in collaboration with NASA through award of cooperative agreements. Projects may be for ground-based technology development or development of spacecraft or payloads for suborbital, balloon or orbital space flight technology demonstrations. The objectives of the Smallsat Technology Partnerships (STP) are to: &amp;#149; Engage the unique talents and fresh perspectives of the university community to develop new technologies and capabilities for small spacecraft or to use small spacecraft as a development and demonstration platform for more broadly applicable technologies. &amp;#149; Share NASA experience and expertise in relevant university projects. &amp;#149; Increase support to university student efforts in small spacecraft technology through funding and collaboration with NASA, to foster a new generation of innovators for NASA and the nation. &amp;#149; Engage NASA personnel across the agency in the rapid, agile, and cost-conscious small spacecraft development approaches that have evolved in the university community. The goals of STP include collaboration with university teams that have experience in small spacecraft development and also extension of support to colleges and universities that have little or no previous involvement in this field. Colleges and universities with experience in small spacecraft development are encouraged to team with other college and universities to address these dual goals. In addition, collaboration with a NASA Center or NASA&amp;#146;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a key feature of these STP projects. This appendix is soliciting proposals for projects in the following specific topic areas: Topic 1: Precise attitude control and pointing systems for cubesats. Topic 2: Power generation, energy storage, and thermal management systems for small spacecraft. Topic 3: Simple low-cost deorbit systems. Topic 4: Communications and tracking systems and networks. Appropriate technologies for development must have a starting Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of at least 3 (analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof of concept) and no more than 6 (system/sub-system model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment). All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) by an authorized organizational representative. Notices of Intent (not mandatory) are due by May 20, 2015. Proposals are due on or before June 8, 2015. Detailed submission instructions are provided in the solicitation. Potential proposers and their proposing organizations are urged to familiarize themselves with the submission system(s), ensure they are registered in NSPIRES, and submit the required proposal materials well in advance of the deadline. The estimated ceiling on an individual cooperative agreement award is $200,000 and the estimated total program funding is $1,600,000. Comments and questions may be submitted by e-mail by May 20, 2015 to: Rachel Khattab, rachel.khattab@nasa.gov. Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and may also be included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. </Description>

        <Description>The Patuxent River Naval Air Station (NAS), Webster Field Annex, in St. Mary&amp;#8217;s County, Maryland was purchased and developed in 1943 to serve as an outlying field for NAS Patuxent (PAX) River and as a dispersal field in the event of possible air invasion. This outlying field was originally used as an emergency landing field, because of heavy air traffic at NAS Pax River during WWII; however, the Beachville Air Station (as it was called then) was also used for dive-bombing, aerial gunnery, target practice, and glider control experiments. The outlying field was renamed Webster Field in 1944 in honor of Captain Walter W. Webster, an early pioneer of naval aviation. At the end of WWII, air activity at the outlying field decreased considerably until 1947 when the field was reactivated for use by the Naval Air Reserve Training Unit of NAS Anacostia. From 1967-1978, Webster Field underwent several different expansions and construction projects related to ongoing mission requirements. These projects began to increase the runoff from the impervious surface areas that resulted in degradation of waterways around the installation. Several improvement and mission related construction projects continue today, further straining the waterways around the installation with increased runoff during storm events resulting in sedimentation of neighboring waterways. In accordance with the Clean Water Act and E.O. 13508, Webster Field must take action to reduce the sedimentation of surrounding waterways. This Cooperative Agreement will meet those requirements by restoring 764 feet of streams, using the step pool storm conveyance (SPSC) restoration technique along two channels of Molls Cove. The Cooperator will implement the government approved design (Appendix B) on the two channels, identified as the Western Tributary and the Eastern Tributary, which are located approximately 2,000 feet northwest of the intersection of Villa and Saint Inigoes Roads on Webster Field. The two channels have nontidal and tidal sections, and they drain into Molls Cove, a tidal tributary of the St. Mary&amp;#8217;s River. The Cooperator shall comply with all permits and authorizations associated with the approved design during the implementation of the design. </Description>

        <Description> Synopsis: Zimbabwe HIV Care and Treatment MechanismThe United States Agency for International Development in Zimbabwe (USAID/Zimbabwe) intends to award a cooperative agreement for HIV Care and Treatment (HCT) program in Zimbabwe. Under this program an implementing partner is to increase availability, and improve the quality, of care and support services for persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA), primarily through non-government organization (NGO) channels. For this new activity, the NGO community is defined as any non-governmental or non-parastatal organization, either non-profit or for-profit and may include faith-based or commercial entities. Although working primarily through (but not limited to) non-governmental organizations, the HCT Mechanism is expected to contribute to Zimbabwe&amp;#8217;s national objectives in the health and education sectors while complementing public sector efforts to improve and expand the availability of critical services oriented to the mitigation of HIV and AIDS in the country. The overall goals of the HCT mechanism are to:(1) to increase the availability of high quality comprehensive care and treatment services for HIV-positives at community level and (2) to strengthen community-level health systems to monitor, track and maintain persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) in care. In working toward these goals, the HCT mechanism also is expected to have two key objectives: i) expand the availability of HIV care and treatment services; and, ii) improve the quality and range of HIV care and treatment services that are offered through NGO-operated facilities, outreach services to and at the community level. The main activities envisioned include: expanding care and treatment services for HIV-positive individuals; psychosocial support services; nutrition counseling; antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence counseling; family planning counseling and service delivery; tuberculosis (TB) symptom screening; training and technical support for PLWHA support groups and their members; and referrals to other clinical services (such as TB diagnosis and treatment, treatment of opportunistic infections and ART in public sector hospitals, etc.).USAID anticipates awarding one cooperative agreement with a five-year period of performance. Applicants are encouraged to consider partnerships with relevant organizations with high-quality skills in HIV Care and Treatment. Subject to the availability of funding, USAID/Zimbabwe expects the HCT mechanism to receive an authorized funding level of approximately 35 million dollars over the five-year period. The attached Draft Program Description is provided for more information. Applicants are encouraged to submit comments at this time. Please submit all comments (if any) to Theresa Peta at tpeta@usaid.gov, with a copy to harareprocure@usaid.gov by May 6, 2015. USAID may revise the Program Description based on comments received, but is not obliged to do so.PLEASE NOTE: This is not a request for applications (RFA). Do not submit an application at this time. The full RFA will be released at a later date.

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description> Synopsis: Zimbabwe Assistance Program in Malaria (ZAPIM)The United States Agency for International Development/Zimbabwe (USAID/Zimbabwe) intends to award a cooperative agreement for the Zimbabwe Assistance Program in Malaria (ZAPIM). Under this program an implementing partner is to provide comprehensive support for, and collaborative partnership with, the Zimbabwe National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) and will support the NMCP&amp;#8217;s established strategy and goals. The overall objective of this health intervention is to contribute to attainment of the USAID Mission&amp;#8217;s 4th Development Objective - reducing morbidity and mortality related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Tuberculosis (TB), Malaria, and Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH). This activity will support the two intermediate results outlined in the Mission&amp;#8217;s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS), Intermediate Result 4.1 health services delivery is improved, and Intermediate Result 4.2 health systems are strengthened. There are five key objectives of ZAPIM envisioned by USAID that aim to strengthen the capacity of the NMCP at national, provincial, district, and/or community levels. These objectives are defined as having been successful in malaria control guidance by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the President&amp;#8217;s Malaria Initiative (PMI). However, in the interest of opening the door to innovation and advancement, responders to the ZAPIM request for applications (RFA) to be issued on or around May 13, 2015 are invited to expand upon this package in new and inventive ways to support NMCP.1) Promote quality malaria case management and prevention of malaria during pregnancy (MIP), specifically at health facilities but also with other cadres at the community level as indicated by NMCP priorities2) Formulate evidence-based national health policies, strategies, systems, and programs to prevent malaria through distribution, ownership, and correct, consistent, and increased use of long-lasting insecticide treated nets 3) Develop and implement innovative and effective social behavior change communication program to improve the prevention and treatment of malaria 4) Support malaria surveillance, monitoring and evaluation, and operational research activities in conjunction with national malaria programs and other partners to assess the efficacy/effectiveness of currently deployed malaria control tools5) Conduct quality therapeutic efficacy trials together with the Ministry of Health and Child Care and partners on artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) medicines to monitor malaria drug resistance, a critical, sentinel task for Zimbabwe and for all malarious areas worldwideUSAID anticipates awarding one cooperative agreement with a five-year period of performance. Applicants are encouraged to consider partnerships with relevant organizations with high-quality skills in malaria epidemiology, social and behavior change communications, monitoring and evaluation, surveillance, operational research, and drug therapeutic efficacy assessment.Subject to the availability of funding, USAID/Zimbabwe expects ZAPIM to receive an authorized funding level of approximately $20 million dollars over the five-year period. Funding will be planned and allocated through the PMI annual malaria operational plan (MOP) process. The attached Draft Program Description is provided for more information. Applicants are encouraged to submit comments at this time. Please submit all comments (if any) to Alfred Magudhu at amagudhu@usaid.gov, with a copy to harareprocure@usaid.gov by May 6, 2015. USAID may revise the Program Description based on comments received, but is not obliged to do so.PLEASE NOTE: This is not a request for applications (RFA). Do not submit an application at this time. The full RFA will be released at a later date. This notice does not constitute an obligation or endorsement by USAID to proceed with the RFA or ultimately award a cooperative agreement on the basis of this notice, or to pay for any cost incurred in the preparation and submission of comments on this DRAFT Program Description. The Request for Applications (RFA) is anticipated to be released on or around May 13, 2015 and will be available for download at www.grants.gov.

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications proposing innovative, high risk, high impact research to identify novel HIV vaccine concepts and targets. A further focus is to answer important scientific questions that will aid in the design and development of an effective immunogen that may provide long-term safe protection from either acquisition of or ongoing infection by HIV. Thus, this FOA aims to support early discovery research by supporting the testing of novel hypotheses and approaches, and to reward initial success with continued funding that is dependent upon achieving applicant-proposed and pre-award negotiated Go/No-Go criteria by the year-2 progress report. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this program is to provide one-year supplemental funding to enable grantees from the Targeted Capacity Expansion: Substance Abuse Treatment for Racial/Ethnic Minority Women at High Risk for HIV/AIDS Minority Women (TCE-HIV: Minority Women) cohort funded in FY 2013 to expand/enhance grant activities required under the 2013 Request for Applications (RFA). The Violence Intervention to Enhance Lives (VITEL) supplemental grants will allow awardees to enhance existing substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services by implementing intimate partner violence (IPV) screening. Information on the TCE-HIV: Minority Women program may be found in the original funding announcement, TI-13-011 available on the SAMHSA website at http://media.samhsa.gov/Grants/archives.aspx. This program is being funded by the Secretary&amp;#8217;s Minority AIDS Initiative Fund (SMAIF). The purpose of the TCE-HIV: Minority Women program is to expand SUD treatment and HIV services for African American, Hispanic/Latina and other racial/ethnic minority women (ages 18 years and older), including heterosexual, lesbian, and bisexual persons, women who were previously incarcerated, and their significant others, who have substance use disorders and/or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders and are living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS (hereafter known as &amp;#8220;the population of focus&amp;#8221;). The VITEL grants will allow five existing grantees the opportunity to enhance their current SUD treatment services by implementing IPV screening. The goals of the VITEL program are 1) reduce IPV through screening and referrals, 2) reduce risky behaviors that lead to new HIV infections and substance use disorders, 3) increase access to care and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV and AIDS, 4) reduce HIV-related health disparities resultant from IPV screening tool implementation, and 5) determine the feasibility of integrating IPV screening in behavioral health settings. </Description>

        <Description>Liberia is one of the three West African countries most heavily impacted by the 2014 West Africa Ebola Virus outbreak. During the onset of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Liberia, many hospitals, public health laboratories and health clinics closed imperiling the health of the Liberian population. While international NGOs, organizations and governments have arrived to help fill the gaps in the immediate need for laboratory testing and EVD treatment and care, there is only an informal link between the laboratories and locations where specimens are taken. Currently no formal specimen transport network exists in Liberia. Instead, an informal network of NGOs is providing transport for specimens requiring EVD testing to laboratories. This often leads to inefficiencies and pulls organizations away from their formal commitment to identifying and caring for EVD patients. Also, a small number of NGOs are also collecting and transporting swabs from dead bodies to laboratories as part of a temporary active surveillance network for EVD. As work continues to get to zero cases of EVD, the need for a more formal sample transport network is critical. This project will support the development and implementation of a national specimen transportation network in Liberia. The network will link hospitals, active surveillance for EVD efforts and health care centers across the country to the nearest laboratory with the capabilities to test for Ebola and/or other relevant common diseases. This national specimen transportation network will ensure the rapid delivery of specimens in a manner designed to preserve specimen integrity to laboratories. This capacity is necessary in order for Liberia to get to and maintain zero cases of EVD, increase Liberia&amp;#8217;s ability to rapidly detect future outbreaks and will be a vital component of the public health infrastructure necessary for future national disease surveillance programs.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces the availability of funds for the Direct Services for Survivors of Torture (DS SOT) grant program. The main purpose of the DS SOT grant program is to increase survivors&amp;#8217; access to holistic, strengths-based, and trauma-informed services to assist them in the healing and recovery process. Under this grant program, direct services are provided to refugees, asylum seekers, asylees, certain immigrant classes, and United States citizens who have been tortured on foreign soil. The program requires a holistic approach to service delivery that involves providing medical, psychological, legal, and social work services to promote healing from the effects of torture. All of these services are to be provided either directly by the grantee or indirectly through partner organizations and/or affiliates.</Description>

        <Description>This FOA seeks applications from state and local health departments and U.S.Territories and Native American tribal public health agencies. Funding these initiatives will improve the recipients&amp;apos; ability to identify and address drinking water (DW) program performance gaps, improve efficiency and effectiveness of DW programs, and to identify and reduce exposures leading to contamination of drinking water. The intended audiences of this FOA are communities and populations using small drinking water systems (e.g.,private wells, springs, cisterns, tankered water) thst are not covered under the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). For example, approximately 13% of U.S. households, or about 43 million people, use private wells in the United States. CDC will fund as many as 20 awards to support DW programs to reduce exposure to waterborne contaminants that affect public health.</Description>

        <Description>The ATSDR Community Health Projects (CHP) Related to Contamination at Brownfield/Land Reuse Sites purpose is to increase responsive public health actions by promoting healthy and safe environments and preventing harmful exposures related to contamination at Brownfield/Land Reuse Sites. Brownfields are defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as &amp;quot;property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant&amp;quot;. Land reuse site is any property that is being redeveloped for a different purpose from their former use. EPA estimates that there are over 450,000 Brownfield sites in the United States. Addressing public health concerns and issues associated with restoration of contaminated properties is essential. ATSDR&amp;#8217;s mission is to serve the public through responsive public health actions to promote healthy and safe environments and prevent harmful exposures. Sites such as Brownfield/Land Reuse sites may have potentially harmful exposures from contamination from previous site uses. Community health projects that address impacts of contamination at Brownfield/Land Reuse sites further ATSDR&amp;#8217;s public health mission to promote healthy and safe environments and prevent harmful exposures. These projects will have a particular emphasis on identifying health issues prior to redevelopment and/or assessing changes in community health associated with reuse plans and redevelopment.</Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW This project will continue monitoring of water quality conditions in Upper Klamath Lake (UKL) and tributary nutrient loading. Long-term monitoring of water quality allows continued evaluation of lake management operations, effects of climatic variables, and evaluation of restoration activities in the watershed. Continued water quality monitoring by the Klamath Tribes will serve to document long term trends in water quality and allow for assessment of restoration activities as they are implemented to improve quality. Additionally, Klamath Tribes data is used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to report on water quality and algal bloom conditions. These reports are distributed to Reclamation and its partners throughout the irrigation season to provide critically needed information on habitat conditions, which could potentially reduce sucker survival and lead to fish-kills each summer season. The measure of success will be determined by successful completion by the Tribes of the seasonal water quality sampling, monitoring, and assessment objectives specified in the Project objectives. The goal of Reclamation and the Tribes is to demonstrate trends in water quality and nutrient conditions that can be used to determine whether landscape level changes in watershed management conditions (i.e. on farm management improvement programs, cattle grazing containment activities, water conservation programs, wetland enhancements) result in positive improvements in UKL water quality conditions. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT This modification will add additional scope of work 5.1.1, 5.6.1 with funds to the existing agreement (R14AP200077). 5.1.1 The Tribes also will also be working with the USGS to determine if toxic microcystins, M. aeruginosa cell abundance, and M. aeruginosa potential (genetic) toxicity vary in predictable ways along nutrient gradients. Restoration projects around UKL and Agency Lake have the potential to alter spatial gradients in nutrient concentrations. The Tribes will assisting with this work by analyzing mycrocystin, ammonia, nitrate, total nitrogen, and phosphorus at a number of existing sites as well along several transects across UKL and Agency Lake. 5.6.1 The Klamath Tribes will provide a thorough analysis of spatial-temporal, trend, and multivariate analyses of the historical 24-year Upper Klamath Lake limnological, climate, and hydrology database. The 25th year of this data collection is currently being completed under Tasks 5.1 and 5.2 of the grant agreement. Additionally, the Tribes subcontractor will provide an analyses of microcystin findings. A draft report of analyses of the historical 24-year Upper Klamath Lake limnological, climate, and hydrology database will be provided by May of 2016, with a final report incorporating comments to be provided in September of 2016. A data report of preliminary microcystin analyses will be provided by February 16, 2016. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION Single Source Justification Description: Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity The Bureau of Reclamation has provided support of the Klamath Tribes (Tribes) Endangered Species Restoration Program, which includes monitoring Upper Klamath Lake limnology, quantifying and monitoring nutrient loading, and fish hatchery research for over 20 years. Recent grants awarded to support the Klamath Tribes Program include a five-year grant (07FG200147) from 2007 through 2011, and two, one-year grants in 2012 (R12AP20015) and 2013(R13AP20023). The Klamath Tribes also maintain a state of the art water quality laboratory and all of the field equipment such as boats and trucks necessary to collect water quality samples. Requiring competition for this important work would result in loss of continuity of this 20 year effort and would provide uncertainty in data collection, quality assurance and control, and data sharing should an another entity continue the work. STATUTORY AUTHORITY Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, Public Law 85-624 (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq,), as amended; as limited and delegated by the Secretary of the Interior delegation of authority to the Bureau of Reclamation at 255 DM 1.1B.

        <Description>The Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders (EWCL) program is a multidisciplinary, capacity-building, leadership training initiative geared towards early to mid-career wildlife conservation professionals. It addresses the need to build a cadre of highly qualified and motivated individuals who are capable of designing and executing effective international wildlife conservation programs. EWCL empowers these individuals by equipping them, over a two-year period, with hands-on experience and a set of key skills and tools that is rarely offered collectively in academia or other professional development programs. Thus, EWCL effectively shortens and tapers the learning curve for budding conservation leaders. In addition, participants are offered a unique opportunity to engage with an extensive network of peers, leading conservation practitioners and decision makers, enriching their career growth opportunities and improving wildlife conservation campaigns through collaborative action. Though based in the US, courses have included participants from around the world, and from a wide range of professional backgrounds, creating a richly diverse environment for learning.</Description>

        <Description>DARPA is soliciting innovative multidisciplinary research proposals to develop and demonstrate synthesis methods of materials with superior properties (&amp;gt;1.5X over SOA) that currently can only be made using ultrahigh pressure techniques, such that processing under conditions amenable to production scales (&amp;lt;2000 K and 0.5 GPa) and stability under ambient conditions is achieved. Extended solids are polymorphs/phases of simple molecules that are currently formed under ultrahigh pressure conditions where strong intermolecular bonding and tight crystal packing can be induced, leading to dramatic changes in physical, mechanical, and functional properties.

        <Description>The Aquaculture Research program is to support the development of an environmentally and economically sustainable aquaculture industry in the U.S. and generate new science-based information and innovation to address industry constraints. Over the long term, results of projects supported by this program may help improve the profitability of the U.S. aquaculture industry, reduce the U.S. trade deficit, increase domestic food security, provide markets for U.S.-produced grain products, increase domestic aquaculture business investment opportunities, and provide more jobs for rural and coastal America. The Aquaculture Research program will fund projects that directly address major constraints to the U.S. aquaculture industry and focus on one or more of the following program priorities: (1) Genetics of commercial aquaculture species. (2) Critical disease issues impacting aquaculture species. (3) Design of environmentally and economically sustainable aquaculture production systems. (4) Economic research for increasing aquaculture profitability.</Description>

        <Description>Inventory, manage, prevent, and eradicate whenever possible plants designated as noxious or invasive. To know and understand the best means of control for specific species and the consequences of unchecked noxious and invasive weed and plant growth. The recipient and BLM would work together with private, state, county and non-federal landowners to prevent, contain and control the spread of noxious and invasive plants. Because these plants move rapidly from one owner&amp;#191;s land to another, joint efforts to eradicate, contain or control noxious and invasive plants would reduce adverse impacts on public, private and state lands and reduce costs to both BLM and other owners. This would help protect the Public lands from encroaching noxious and invasive weeds, insuring a healthy watershed, and save money that would be required to control noxious weed population if left unchecked. It is more economically sound to treat small populations of noxious and invasive weeds wherever they are found regardless of land status. Only pesticides and adjuvants approved for use on BLM within allowable rates can be used on BLM administered lands as identified in the Record of Decision Vegetation Treatments Using Herbicides on Bureau of Land Management lands in 17 Western States Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. Recepient would work closely with city, state, and federal entities, private land owners, with regard to education and awareness. Public notification of areas to be treated would be the responsibility of the recipient. Pesticide use Reports would be submitted to BLM within 24 hours of treatment along with computer generated maps stating location and acreage of area sprayed and GPS point, line, or polygon data. </Description>

        <Description>The Humanities in the Public Square program supports scholarly forums, public discussions, and educational resources related to the themes of a new NEH initiative, The Common Good: The Humanities in the Public Square. Designed to demonstrate the vital role that humanities ideas can play in our civic life, the Humanities in the Public Square program invites projects that draw on humanities scholarship to engage the public in understanding some of today&amp;#8217;s most challenging issues and pressing concerns. As NEH launches a year-long celebration of its fiftieth anniversary in September 2015, the Common Good initiative seeks to demonstrate the vital role that the humanities can play in our public life. NEH&amp;#8217;s enabling legislation speaks eloquently of the need to attend to &amp;#8220;the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life.&amp;#8221; Today, as our country grapples with both remarkable opportunities and extraordinary challenges, the &amp;#8220;conditions of our national life&amp;#8221; suggest that this need is greater than ever. The Common Good initiative envisions humanities scholars and organizations turning their attention and expertise to topics that have widespread resonance with the American people and that lend themselves to humanistic methods and concerns. Organizations are encouraged to think creatively about what discussion topics would be meaningful to their community. A list of questions that exemplify promising subjects might include the following: &amp;#8226; How can the humanities illuminate both the positive and worrisome ways in which the remarkable advances in information technology are affecting individuals and communities in contemporary American life? &amp;#8226; How can the humanities enrich the debate over the appropriate balance of security and privacy that technological advances have placed before us? &amp;#8226; How can the humanities deepen public understanding of the meaning of democratic citizenship in the twenty-first century in relationship to our founding principles and values, our political history, and our current circumstances? &amp;#8226; How can the humanities contribute to the understanding of the relationships between humans and the natural world? &amp;#8226; How can the humanities illuminate the legacies of recent wars and conflicts and contribute to the achievement of a deeper and broader public understanding of the experience and lessons of war? (For more details, see NEH&amp;#8217;s Standing Together initiative.) &amp;#8226; How can the humanities contribute to the full incorporation of veterans into civilian life and help all of us appreciate their unique perspectives? (For more details see NEH&amp;#8217;s Standing Together initiative.) &amp;#8226; How can the humanities assist the country in addressing the challenges and opportunities created by the changing demographics in many American communities? &amp;#8226; How can the humanities illuminate the enormous promise of new biomedical technologies and procedures and deepen our understanding of the complex ethical and personal questions they raise? &amp;#8226; How can the humanities address the various forms of cultural and political polarization that have become so prevalent in contemporary American life and thereby contribute to the building of new forms of community and understanding? The Humanities in the Public Square program, a key part of the Common Good initiative, welcomes projects addressing a significant humanities theme that is important to a particular community, region, or state. The theme may be based on one of the questions above or it may address another significant public issue that is informed by the humanities in ways that will appeal to public audiences and concerns. The project should consist of 1. a public forum that engages scholars and humanities practitioners in discussion with a public audience about a theme; 2. subsequent public programs that would use creative formats to engage audiences in reflection on and discussion of a humanities theme for an extended period of time; and 3. educational resources that disseminate materials for ongoing use by teachers, students, and/or lifelong learners. Applicants are strongly encouraged to forge partnerships with other institutions as appropriate (especially state humanities councils), to ensure that the scholarly, public programming, and educational elements are all well conceived and realized. </Description>

        <Description>Inventory, manage, prevent and eradicate whenever possible plants designated as noxious or invasive to know and understand the best means of control for specific species and the consequences of unchecked noxious and invasive plants. Because these plants move rapidly from one owners land to another, joint efforts to eradicate, contain or control noxious and invasive plants would reduce adverse impacts on public, private and state lands and reduce costs to both BLM and other owners. This would help protect the Public Lands from encroaching noxious and invasive weeds, insuring a healthy watershed and save money that would be required to control noxious weed population if left unchecked. Only pesticides and adjuvants approved for use on BLM within allowable rates can be used on BLM administered lands as identified in the Record of Decision Vegetation Treatments using Herbicides on BLM lands in 17 Western States Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. Recipient would work closely with city, state and federal entities, private land owners with regard to education and awareness. Public notification of areas to be treated would be the responsibility of the recipient. Pesticide Use Reports would be submitted to the BLM within 24 hours of treatment along with computer generated maps stating location and acreage of area sprayed and GPS point, line or polygon data. </Description>

        <Description>The Land Trust Alliance promotes voluntary private land conservation to benefit communities and natural systems, and represents more than 1,700 land trusts across America. The Alliance will use these funds primarily for education. Their goal is to ensure that land trusts have the skills to be effective land acquisition partners. The Alliance will offer a number of educational and training opportunities to land trust staffs, boards and volunteers to help land trusts become better informed about land conservation issues and more effective at conserving land. Land Trust Standards and Practices, the ethical and technical guidelines for the responsible operation of a land trust are a core component of the educational offerings. To ensure that land trusts have the skills to be effective land acquisition partners, among the topics addressed will be conservation finance strategies, project due diligence, protecting land for biodiversity, and protecting water resources through strategic conservation planning. While a registration fee is usually required for training activities, many of the trainings that the Alliance offers are subsidized by grants so that the trainings are affordable, or free, for members of the land trust community. In addition, the Alliance will engage partners, including federal agencies, to share information with land trusts about how to work effectively with a variety of programs, initiatives and funding sources. For example, workshops offered in the course of a year include topics such as &amp;#191;The Land and Water Conservation Fund: Strategic Shifts and Interagency Collaboration to Support National Landscape Initiatives&amp;#191; and &amp;#191;The National Wildlife Refuge System; Partnering with Land Trusts and Local Governments.&amp;#191;</Description>

        <Description>Background: The BLM has partnered with Tread Lightly, Inc! for over 20 years to provide stewardship programs and outdoor ethics education to BLM visitors and BLM staff. Together, BLM and Tread Lightly have provided outreach and outdoor ethics education to thousands of visitors on BLM lands at recreation sites, through signage and print media and through education programs offered to visitors and BLM staff. As a result, BLM visitors and staff have been exposed to responsible recreation practices, outdoor ethics education information and have learned how to practice minimal impact principles that supports the long-term integrity of the BLM lands and resources and builds stewardship of public lands. Objectives: The mission of the Stewardship and Outdoor Ethics Education Program is to build appreciation and &amp;#191;ownership&amp;#191; of the public lands by fostering a connection between people and the land through outdoor experiences, education, and volunteerism. The BLM relies on partners and volunteers to help fulfill the Stewardship Program&amp;#191;s mission. One of the BLM&amp;#191;s long-standing partners, Tread Lightly, Inc! assists the agency promote stewardship and teach outdoor ethics and responsible recreation to the public and BLM staff. Public Benefit: This opportunity is to keep the great outdoors beautiful, healthy, and accessible by providing support to much needed critical education and communications initiatives to allow for environmentally sustainable outdoor recreation. Through this program public land visitors will learn the importance of their responsibility of having best practices in outdoor ethics while recreating on public lands. They will also learn the importance of environmental stewardship and the value of public lands, which in return will be able to pass on their environmental stewardship knowledge and practices to the next generation of public land stewards. </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this FOA is to advance research on naturally occurring proteins (and/or peptides) known to impact one or more aging phenotypes, at physiological levels, based on whole-animal experimental evidence. These are &amp;quot;geronic proteins&amp;quot; isolated from circulation, which might reverse (rejuvenate) or potentially prevent development of aging phenotypes observable in an older laboratory animal, such as cardiac hypertrophy, diminished skeletal muscle repair-efficiency, reduced muscle strength, etc. (anti-geronic proteins), or which appear to promote an aging phenotype in a young adult laboratory animal, such as leading to decreased neurogenesis or cognitive function (pro-geronic proteins). (For brevity, this definition includes &amp;quot;geronic peptides.&amp;quot;) The pro- or anti-geronic functions of these proteins have been demonstrated to have physiological consequences at least at the level of tissue or organ function, but often have additional support for their geronic functions at the cellular and molecular levels (but, importantly, in whole-animal experiments). These anti- and pro-geronic proteins are often known to function in other biological contexts, such as development. The primary goals of this FOA are to characterize the geronic functions of these proteins. The outcome of research supported by this FOA should be an improved understanding of the range of aging phenotypes affected by geronic proteins (individually or in concert), the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which these geronic functions are exerted, and will eventually promote studies supporting the translational potential of these proteins. </Description>

        <Description>Through this funding opportunity, the U.S. Fish &amp;amp; Wildlife Service seeks to educate the public on the plight of wild animal and plant species threatened by illegal and unsustainable trade and the impacts that consumer choices have on these species. The goal of this education and outreach initiative is to reduce demand for illegal wildlife products by motivating individuals, businesses, and other entities to make informed purchasing decisions and take action to protect these species. This effort will include harnessing the strengths of existing partner organizations, including State and Federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industry groups, as well as identifying and engaging new private sector and non-traditional partners to vastly increase our reach. Through this partnership effort, we aim to develop public service announcements, advertisements, and other information that can be disseminated to target audiences through websites and social media, as well as traditional media outlets, including, but not limited to, print publications and billboards.</Description>

        <CloseDateExplanation> Applications Available: April 24, 2015.    Note:  On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately. One provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name was changed to the Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools. NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer review. We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants.        Date of Pre-Application Meeting: May 15, 2015.      Deadline for Notice of Intent to Apply: May 29, 2015. Notice of Intent to Apply: Due to the open nature of the DRRP priority announced here, and to assist with the selection of reviewers for this competition, NIDILRR is requesting all potential applicants submit a letter of intent (LOI). The submission is not mandatory, and the content of the LOI will not be peer reviewed or otherwise used to rate an applicant&amp;apos;s application.      Each LOI should be limited to a maximum of four pages and include the following information: (1) The title of the proposed project, the name of the applicant, the name of the Project Director or Principal Investigator (PI), and the names of partner institutions and entities; (2) a brief statement of the vision, goals, and objectives of the proposed project and a description of its proposed activities at a sufficient level of detail to allow NIDILRR to select potential peer reviewers; (3) a list of proposed project staff including the Project Director or PI and key personnel; (4) a list of individuals whose selection as a peer reviewer might constitute a conflict of interest due to involvement in proposal development, selection as an advisory board member, co-PI relationships, etc.; and (5) contact information for the Project Director or PI. Submission of a LOI is not a prerequisite for eligibility to submit an application.      NIDILRR will accept the optional LOI via mail (through the U.S. Postal Service or commercial carrier) or email, by May 29, 2015. The LOI must be sent to: Marlene Spencer, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 550 12th Street SW., Room 5133, PCP, Washington, DC 20202; or by email to: Marlene.Spencer@acl.hhs.gov.      For further information regarding the LOI submission process, contact Marlene Spencer at (202) 245-7532.        Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: June 23, 2015. Date of Pre-Application   Meeting: Interested parties are invited to participate in a pre-application meeting and to receive information and technical assistance through individual consultation with NIDILRR staff.

        <Description>Under this solicitation, OJJDP is seeking proposals to develop standards to document and measure juvenile reentry service delivery, practices, and outcomes. These measurement standards will identify and define key indicators of effective reentry practice and successful outcomes for juveniles starting at the confinement decision (pre- and post-adjudication), moving through reintegration into the community, and for a meaningful period post-release. The practice measures should be flexible and address variations in types and length of confinement. The individual-level outcomes should include both measures of public safety (e.g., crime and recidivism) and positive developmental milestones (e.g., reenrollment in school, family engagement) for youth reentering the community. Current juvenile reentry research, data collection, and performance measurement knowledge and practice should guide the measurement standards developed under this initiative. The successful applicant will pilot test the measurement standards and include final, recommended measurement standards that incorporate the results of the pilot testing and recommendations for implementation considerations. The measurement standards should be scalable and relevant to sites that may vary widely in structure, organization, and administration of reentry supervision and services. OJJDP expects that the final measurement standards will help agencies with jurisdiction over juvenile reentry identify measures to consistently and reliably assess service delivery and youth and community outcomes. It may also inform broader audiences, such as key decisionmakers in related social service agencies, policy makers, and the public.</Description>

        <Description>OJJDP is focusing this solicitation on the needs of the following underserved populations: youth with disabilities; youth in foster care; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning youth (LGBTQ). OJJDP is committed to promoting quality mentoring services and expanding the reach to as many youth across the nation as possible, including the underserved populations identified above. OJJDP defines underserved youth as those who demonstrate need but have not participated in consistently high-quality mentoring services due to location; shortage of qualified mentors; special physical or mental challenges; being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning; or other analogous situations that the community identifies. Youth with disabilities need a caring, trained, mentor to increase their protective factors and reduce their heightened risk for delinquency and victimization. One of the major challenges that youth in foster care often face is the lack of involvement of a consistent, caring adult in their lives. LGBTQ youth often face high-risk situations, such as bullying, and need a caring, understanding mentor. OJJDP will assist in establishing or expanding mentoring and support services for youth in these three underserved populations. This solicitation offers three mentoring service program categories. Applicants must designate under which category they are applying and are not allowed to submit an application in more than one category: Category 1 (youth with disabilities); Category 2 (youth in foster care); and Category 3 (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth). Applicants must discuss their capability and expertise with particular underserved populations and how their mentoring approach will best serve the unique and diverse needs of that population. </Description>

Applicants must include a list of active chapters or subawardees and the states where they are located as an attachment to their application.  For purposes of this solicitation, 2 or more independent organizations that form a collaborative to meet the 45 state requirement do not satisfy OJJDP&amp;#8217;s definition of a national organization.  The organization&amp;#8217;s national headquarters must submit the application, and OJJDP requires successful applicants to subaward 90 percent of this award to active chapters or subawardees in at least 38 states.     Category 2&amp;#8212;Multistate Mentoring Programs: Eligible applicants are limited to multistate  organizations, defined as organizations that have operated an established mentoring program for at least 3 years, and have active chapters or subawardees in at least 5 states but fewer than 45 states.  Applicants must include a list of active chapters or subawardees and the states where they are located as an attachment to their application.  For purposes of this solicitation, 2 or more independent organizations that form a collaborative to meet the 5 state requirement do not satisfy OJJDP&amp;apos;s definition of a multistate organization. The organization&amp;#8217;s headquarters must submit the application.     Category 3 &amp;#8212;Collaborative Mentoring Programs: Eligible applicants must be part of a collaborative of at least three and as many as five mentoring organizations. Under the award, the organizations that form the collaborative must each provide services in at least one location that is independent of the other organizations and must all implement the same program design (see definition of the same program design on page 7). Organizations within the collaborative must ensure that no individual will receive duplicate services from more than one member of the collaborative. The collaborative may include different organizations receiving funding from the same parent organization; however, official organizational charts must reflect that the organizations operate independently and at different locations. Each organization within the collaborative must already have an established mentoring program at the time they submit an application for funding. OJJDP encourages applicants to consider partnering with those organizations &amp;#8211; and in such a manner &amp;#8211; that will best leverage shared costs for training or program-related activities. Applicants must submit memoranda of understanding (or analogous documents) demonstrating a formal collaborative partnership. One organization must be clearly identified as the lead applicant; however, subrecipients may be part of multiple Collaborative Mentoring Program proposals. OJJDP encourages multistate organizations to participate in Collaborative Mentoring Programs, but participation of a multistate organization is not required. National organizations are not eligible to apply.     For-profit organizations must agree to forgo any profit or management fee.     At the time of application, eligible applicants must provide mentoring services to youth who are 17 years old or younger.     An organization that applies for funding in Category 1 may not apply for funds in any other category, but an organization that applies for funding in Category 2 may also apply as a member of the collaborative to receive funds in Category 3, see chart below.   </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The FY15 PRCRP Translational Team Science Award (TTSA) is new for FY15 and supports translational correlative studies associated with an existing or completed clinical trial that could lead to a future clinical application or the next-phase clinical trial. The ultimate goal of translational research is to move observations forward into clinical application. The intent of the TTSA is to leverage information from existing or completed clinical trials to address knowledge gaps in resulting outcomes. Studies may involve tissue or biopsy procurement or utilization of existing tissue sources. Of particular interest are studies investigating the differences in prognosis and treatment with respect to primary nodal status and/or the presence of metastatic disease; research on precursor lesions and the relationship to prevention and potential outcomes; investigations into tumor heterogeneity (e.g., genetic, epigenetic, immunological) and its association to the tumor microenvironment; and, studies on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life associated with treatment. The TTSA supports preclinical studies in animal models and human subjects and human anatomical substances. Accordingly, development or use of relevant preclinical models may be included. The TTSA is not intended to support high throughput screenings, sequencing, etc. Funding for the clinical trial is not allowed. The TTSA requires that multiple investigators jointly design a single project, with comparable levels of intellectual input from each Principal Investigator (PI). However, each partner will be recognized as a PI, submit a separate application (even if the partners are at the same organization), and receive an individual award. The research project must be supported by the unique expertise, experience, and abilities of each PI; and it must clearly define the translational components that will facilitate and accelerate progress in a way that could not be accomplished through independent efforts. One PI will be identified as the Initiating PI and will be responsible for the majority of the administrative tasks associated with application submission. The other PIs will be identified as Partnering PIs. Initiating and Partnering PIs each have different submission requirements, as described in Section II; however, all PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project. If recommended for funding, each PI will receive his or her own award. Multidisciplinary projects are encouraged, and at least two organizations must be included in the application. Applications should include clearly stated plans for interactions among all PIs and organizations involved. The plans must include communication, coordination of research progress and results, and data transfer. Additionally, applications must provide an intellectual property plan to resolve potential intellectual and material property issues and to remove institutional barriers that might interfere with achieving high levels of cooperation to ensure the successful completion of this award. Important aspects of the Translational Team Science Award are as follows: &amp;#8226; Collaboration: The success of the project depends on the unique skills and contributions of each collaborator. At least three and up to five Principal Investigators across at least two institutions must partner in one overarching study in one of the required FY15 PRCRP Topic Areas. At least one early-career investigator and/or one military/VA investigator must be included as an equal partner in the research offering both intellectual investment and research effort. &amp;#9675; An early-career investigator is defined as an investigator within 10 years after completion of a terminal degree (doctorate or any medical degree), excluding time spent in medical residency or during family medical leave. &amp;#9675; A military/VA investigator is an investigator defined as active duty, active reserve, active duty detailed to agencies outside of the DoD, etc. The military/VA investigator should have a substantial role in the research and should not be included only for access to active duty military and/or VA populations (see below). &amp;#8226; Translational Aspect: The application should provide evidence for the reciprocal transfer of ideas between basic and clinical science and vice versa in developing and implementing the research plan. Translational research should include correlative studies based on clinical trial outcomes, an ongoing clinical trial (Funding for the clinical trial is not allowed.), or translational research. The application should demonstrate how the study will leverage information from existing or completed clinical trials to address knowledge gaps in resulting outcomes.</Description>

        <Description>The Idea Award with Special Focus supports innovative, untested, high-risk/potentially high-reward concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods in cancer research that are relevant to active duty Service members, their families, and other military beneficiaries. The &amp;#8220;Special Focus&amp;#8221; of this award mechanism is on the cancers associated with exposures, conditions, or circumstances that are unique to the military, or disproportionately represented in a military beneficiary population. The advancement of knowledge in cancer research, patient care, and/or treatment options in the military health system is critical to active duty Service members, their families, other military beneficiaries, and the American public. Military relevance should be articulated with respect to the overall military health system and the mission of the DHP and the FY15 PRCRP. For more information, please review the following websites: Military Health System (http://www.health.mil), the PRCRP (http://cdmrp.army.mil/prcrp/default.shtml), and PRCRP Report to Congress (http://cdmrp.army.mil/prcrp/reports/reports.shtml). The Idea Award with Special Focus is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project. The proposed research project should be novel and innovative. Innovative research may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and study design. Inclusion of preliminary data is discouraged. The outcome of research supported by this award should be the generation of robust preliminary data that can be used as a foundation for future research projects to understand the mechanisms of initiation, or progression of cancer. This award is not intended to support ongoing research in the applicant&amp;#8217;s laboratory; therefore, inclusion of preliminary data other than serendipitous findings or in very small amounts is not consistent with the exploratory nature of this award.</Description>

        <Description>The PRCRP Career Development Award supports independent, early-career investigators to conduct impactful research with the mentorship of an experienced cancer researcher (i.e., the Designated Mentor) as an opportunity to obtain the funding, guidance, and experience necessary for productive, independent careers at the forefront of cancer research. This award supports impactful research projects with an emphasis on discovery. Under this award mechanism, the early-career investigator is considered the Principal Investigator (PI), and the application should focus on the PI&amp;#8217;s research and career development. It should be clear that the proposed research is intellectually designed by the PI and not a product of the Designated Mentor. Preliminary data are not required. However, logical reasoning and a sound scientific rationale for the proposed research must be demonstrated. Key elements of the award are as follows: &amp;#8226; Principal Investigator: The PI must be an independent, early-career research or physician-scientist within 10 years after completion of his/her terminal degree (excluding time spent in residency or on family medical leave). The PI&amp;#8217;s record of accomplishments and the proposed research will be evaluated regarding his/her potential for contributing to the FY15 PRCRP Topic Area(s). Because career development is the focus of this award, the PI&amp;#8217;s organization must demonstrate a commitment to the PI through confirmation of laboratory space and a minimum of 30% protected time for the proposed research, though more protected time is highly desirable. &amp;#8226; Designated Mentor: The Designated Mentor must be an experienced cancer researcher as demonstrated by a strong record of funding and publications. In addition, the Designated Mentor must demonstrate a commitment to advancing the PI&amp;#8217;s career in cancer research.

        <Description>The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is the leading federal provider of outdoor recreation and attracts over 335 million visitors annually to our lake and river projects in 43 states. Encouraging public safety for those recreating at our projects and preventing fatalities on our lands/waters are our primary concerns. Water safety interns will provide educational outreach and interpretive programming, as part of a team that encourages public safety. This includes all aspects of recreation safety on USACE lands and waters to include water, boating, bicycling, hiking, camping, and hunting. The primary focus will be on water and boating safety for all ages with an emphasis on targeting the highest risk group of 18-35 year old males. The primary responsibility will be educating public visitors regarding public safety through face-to-face contact. This personal contact will take place at beaches, boat ramps, boat patrol, campgrounds, and other venues where you have direct contact with visitors. Additionally, they will be responsible to summarize contacts and submit a monthly report. Interns will perform a variety of tasks including developing outreach mechanisms for this target audience; updating bulletin boards; maintaining life jacket loaner stations; organizing events; conducting interpretive programs and roving interpretation; writing news releases; possibly conducting media interviews (radio); promoting USACE safety campaigns; developing public service announcements and interacting with park visitors. Interns may be used for search and rescue and as a second (safety) person for boat patrols made by park rangers.</Description>

        <Description>The new imperatives in India&amp;#8217;s foreign policy are being reflected in all aspects of its diplomacy&amp;#8212;from strengthening the U.S.-India bilateral dynamic to promoting India as a regional leader. In a broader context, this active foreign policy focus mandates the identification and recognition of young talent poised to become the next generation of foreign policy leaders. In order to support the growth of the U.S.-India strategic partnership, the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi plans to sponsor a two-day leadership conclave with thirty to forty under-35 emerging foreign policy leaders from both India and the United States (with the majority of the participants coming from India). The participants will be from a variety of backgrounds and will include practitioners, theorists, journalists, and members of the think tank community. The conclave would link young Indian strategic thinkers with their counterparts in the United States, and provide a platform to build linkages and chart new directions. It would draw the best and brightest young thinkers, and would include alumni of U.S. government leadership exchange programs. (Please refer full announcement for details). </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Consulate General, Kolkata invites applications to implement a one year project that will work towards capacity development of women leaders in West Bengal at the grass roots level. The U.S. National Security Strategy states, &amp;#8220;Countries are more peaceful and prosperous when women are accorded full and equal rights and opportunity.&amp;#8221; Engaging women as political and social actors can change policy choices because they bring a range of unique experiences and contributions in decision-making on matters of national importance. Despite recent progress, women around the world are still largely absent from national and local decision-making bodies or if present, are often relegated to the background. The inclusion of women as a central driver of socio-economic activity and growth, in both developed and developing economies around the globe, is definitely a way towards a more balanced world. Women have the potential to bring about change, but they often lack organization, mentoring and guidance due to lack of time, given their multiple roles as bread winners, wives and mothers.

        <Description>The Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Program offers FREE tax help to individuals who are age 60 or older. Section 163 of the Revenue Act of 1978, Public Law No. 95-600, 92 Stat. 2810, November 6, 1978, authorizes this cooperative agreement. The Act authorizes the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to enter into agreements with private or public nonprofit agencies and organizations, which will provide training and technical assistance to volunteers who provide FREE tax counseling and assistance to elderly individuals in the preparation of their federal income tax returns. This Act authorizes an appropriation of special funds, in the form of grants, to provide tax assistance to persons age 60 years of age or older. The IRS receives the funds as a line item in the budget appropriation. The total funds are distributed to the grant recipients for their expenses. Eligible agencies and organizations compete for acceptance as a TCE grant recipient in compliance with the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977, Public Law No. 95-224, 92 Stat. 3, February 3, 1978, codified at 31 USC Chapter 63. Applicants must be experienced in coordinating volunteer programs, with experience in income tax return preparation. Eligible agencies and organizations receive grants to conduct local TCE Programs. Tax return preparation assistance is provided to elderly taxpayers during the usual period for filing federal income tax returns, which is from January 1 to April 15 each year. However, the program activities required to ensure that elderly taxpayers receive efficient and quality tax assistance can be conducted year-round. </Description>

        <Description>USAID seeks to effectively prevent, mitigate and manage the causes and consequences of violent conflict, instability and extremism. The Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA), Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) leads USAID&amp;#8217;s efforts to identify and analyze sources of conflict, supports early responses to address the causes and consequences of instability and violent conflict, and seeks to integrate conflict mitigation and management into USAID&amp;#8217;s analysis, strategies and programs. &amp;#8220;People-to-people&amp;#8221; programs are one approach among many to conflict mitigation. This solicitation is intended to fund conflict mitigation programs with a people-to-people approach, and to derive lessons learned and best practices for future people-to-people programming. The theory of change of this CMM program states that if USAID supports civil society organizations and other institutions in promoting a culture of peace and mutual respect between Israelis and Palestinians at all levels, then there will be an expanded peace constituency that is more enduring in the face of shocks and setbacks. The reconciliation program needs to foster sentiment at all levels of society to bring about a peaceful settlement to the conflict, both at the political and social levels. Lessons learned will be incorporated into future programs and solicitations, and will inform DCHA/CMM&amp;#8217;s research agenda for conflict management and mitigation. Applications under this solicitation will describe a people-to-people approach based on a context and conflict analysis that leads to a concrete program change hypothesis. The objective of the FY 2015 USAID/WBG CMM Annual Program Statement (APS) is to expand the peace constituency of Israelis and Palestinians while contributing to USAID&amp;#8217;s developmental objectives. USAID seeks programs that produce more concrete and measurable results through conflict resolution by bringing participating groups together to resolve issues of common concern. Studies have shown that when common goals or shared problems are present, communication between groups moved towards reducing conflict. In addition to the people-to-people approach, USAID requests Applicants to focus on issues of common interest between three categories of participants: 1) Israelis and Palestinians; 2) Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians; 3) Israeli Arab and Jewish citizens. Cross-border programs that bring together Israelis and Palestinians and activities that bring together Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians are strongly encouraged. Programs can include citizens of other Middle Eastern and North African countries, but primary beneficiaries should be Israelis and Palestinians residing in Israel and the West Bank. USAID highly encourages programs where participants engage in activities that will clearly benefit from the participation of another group in order to reach common goals or solve shared issues. Programs addressing issues in water, farming, tourism, health, technology, energy, and the environment are just a few examples of successful past programming. Additionally, USAID will encourage applications that involve women, youth, and/or people living with disabilities and demonstrate a clear understanding of their role in conflict mitigation. In addition, the APS will encourage applicants to target dis-advantaged beneficiaries residing in the peripheral areas. Applications must demonstrate the ability to measure the program&amp;#8217;s effectiveness in reducing conflict and in changing perceptions, and partners shall develop a monitoring system to effectively measure their results. </Description>

        <Description>This synopsis was posted previously on 20 June 2015 under solicitation NNH15ZOA001N-15STP_E1. Its number has been modified slightly to accommodate posting of this synopsis on grants.gov. No other changes have been made to this synopsis from earlier postings on NAIS, but this supersedes those. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released a solicitation, titled Smallsat Technology Partnerships (STP), as an appendix to the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) umbrella NASA Research Announcement (NRA) titled &amp;quot;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015), on April 20, 2015. The solicitation is available by opening the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ , selecting &amp;quot;Solicitations,&amp;quot; then selecting &amp;quot;Open Solicitations,&amp;quot; and, finally, selecting &amp;#8220;Smallsat Technology Partnerships (STP).&amp;#8221; STMD, and the Small Spacecraft Technology Program in particular, seek proposals from U.S. colleges and universities in collaboration with NASA through award of cooperative agreements. Projects may be for ground-based technology development or development of spacecraft or payloads for suborbital, balloon or orbital space flight technology demonstrations. The objectives of the Smallsat Technology Partnerships (STP) are to: &amp;#8226; Engage the unique talents and fresh perspectives of the university community to develop new technologies and capabilities for small spacecraft or to use small spacecraft as a development and demonstration platform for more broadly applicable technologies. &amp;#8226; Share NASA experience and expertise in relevant university projects. &amp;#8226; Increase support to university student efforts in small spacecraft technology through funding and collaboration with NASA, to foster a new generation of innovators for NASA and the nation. &amp;#8226; Engage NASA personnel across the agency in the rapid, agile, and cost-conscious small spacecraft development approaches that have evolved in the university community. The goals of STP include collaboration with university teams that have experience in small spacecraft development and also extension of support to colleges and universities that have little or no previous involvement in this field. Colleges and universities with experience in small spacecraft development are encouraged to team with other college and universities to address these dual goals. In addition, collaboration with a NASA Center or NASA&amp;#8217;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a key feature of these STP projects. This appendix is soliciting proposals for projects in the following specific topic areas: Topic 1: Precise attitude control and pointing systems for cubesats. Topic 2: Power generation, energy storage, and thermal management systems for small spacecraft. Topic 3: Simple low-cost deorbit systems. Topic 4: Communications and tracking systems and networks. Appropriate technologies for development must have a starting Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of at least 3 (analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof of concept) and no more than 6 (system/sub-system model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment). All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) by an authorized organizational representative. Notices of Intent (not mandatory) are due by May 20, 2015. Proposals are due on or before June 8, 2015. Detailed submission instructions are provided in the solicitation. Potential proposers and their proposing organizations are urged to familiarize themselves with the submission system(s), ensure they are registered in NSPIRES, and submit the required proposal materials well in advance of the deadline.

        <Description>This FOA will enhance CDC&amp;#8217;s ability to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in health by supporting the development of a national public health leadership fellowship program to train racial/ethnic minority undergraduate and post-doctoral recipients who are under-represented in public health careers. [Note: The term &amp;#8220;under-represented&amp;#8221; refers to those population groups reported by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) as severely under-represented among the nation&amp;#8217;s health professionals, including African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, many Hispanic/Latino populations, some Asian Americans (e.g., Hmong and other Southeast Asians) and Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders. ] The program will consist of two training tracks, a one year track for post-doctoral students, and a ten-week summer track for undergraduate students or recent graduates (received bachelor&amp;#8217;s degree within one year or less before application to the program). This program will solicit participants among highly qualified racial/ethnic minority students with the goal of provision of training in the principles and practice of public health leadership to enhance the potential for career mobility and future leadership roles. The program will be guided by provision of comprehensive training in the core public health functions. In addition, the training program will focus on mastery of public health leadership skills for both undergraduate and post-doctoral tracks.</Description>

        <Description>Noxious weeds pose a direct and imminent threat to public and private lands, including increased risk of wildfire, decreased recreational opportunities, degraded wildlife habitat, degraded rangelands, and loss of production. These threats, just as the weeds themselves, cross many jurisdictional boundaries. Having a coordinated partnership facilitates a better coordinated, comprehensive approach to weed management throughout the county by combining the resources of existing and new groups in a concerted effort to educate the public and partners about weeds as well as coordinating weed control activities across all jurisdictions. The cooperators participate in a county-wide integrated weed management program that operates strategically in and will grow and adapt to the needs of Harney County and each of the partners. Previously, this goal was accomplished through the general direction of a Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) Steering Committee comprised of a representative from each signing party involved, implemented by the CWMA Coordinator, who organizes activities and follows the guidance of the CWMA Steering Committee. The CWMA Steering Committee and CWMA Coordinator also provided a communication forum to keep all parties informed of weed control concerns and activities, and/or other resource protection activities relative to integrated weed management.</Description>

        <Description>This project will continue ongoing surveys of the ZTL population at the Diamond Creek Dune and translocate species from Peach Springs Canyon to Diamond Creek. This will support genetic diversity for reproduction of the population. While the ZTL exists in the middle Peach Springs Wash drainage, which is the only ZTL population in the Colorado River ecosystem (CRE) in the Grand Canyon, they previously existed in the super-riparian sand dunes at the mouth of Diamond Creek on the Hualapai Indian Reservation. That population was extirpated in the mid-1980s when high flows on the Colorado River flooded the mouth of Diamond Creek and large trucks used the dune-top area for staging river take-outs. Repeated censuses for ZTL at the mouth of Diamond Creek from the late 1980&amp;#8217;s through 2010 have consistently failed to reveal any of these conspicuous, diurnal lizards, and the population has been extirpated. Reclamation funded the Hualapai Tribe in 2012 to conduct translocations of the ZLT which proved to be successful. In August, 2014, nine individual zebra-tailed lizards were detected on the monthly survey suggesting that the zebra-tailed lizard population at Diamond Creek was viable and growing. It is important to continue the monthly surveys over the next five years to quantify the ZLT population, document future reproductive evidence, and diversify the species population, and translocate species to support their conservation. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 to support a single organization that will serve as an Implementation Technical Assistance Center (ITAC) for a new Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) initiative entitled Dissemination of Evidence-Informed Interventions to Improve Health Outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum. Funding will be provided in the form of a cooperative agreement to support one (1) organization for up to four (4) years to provide technical assistance (TA) to assist up to twelve (12) performance site organizations implement evidence-informed interventions adapted from previous SPNS initiatives. The successful awardee will also select and fund these performance sites as contracted organizations. The ITAC will be expected to work very closely with a Dissemination and Evaluation Center (DEC) to be funded under a separate announcement. In its first year of funding, the DEC will adapt four implementation-ready evidence-informed interventions from previous SPNS initiatives. These initiatives are Enhancing Linkages for Those Newly Released from Jails (2007-2012, more commonly known as the SPNS Jails Initiative);[1] An Evaluation of Innovative Methods for Integrating Buprenorphine Opioid Abuse Treatment in HIV Primary Care (2004-2009, commonly known as the Buprenorphine Initiative);[2] Targeted HIV Outreach and Intervention Model Development and Evaluation for Underserved HIV-positive Populations Not in Care (2001-2006, more commonly known as the SPNS Outreach Initiative);[3] and the Secretary&amp;#8217;s Minority AIDS Initiative Fund (SMAIF) Retention and Re-Engagement Project (2011-2014, also known as the Peer Re-Engagement Project).[4] The DEC will develop web-based materials for dissemination of each intervention, listing its components, theoretical foundations, staffing and training requirements, costs (if available) and previously published research and evaluation reports and journal articles. The DEC will also design and implement a multi-site evaluation to assess the fidelity, effectiveness and costs of these interventions when implemented. ITAC applicants should carefully read the requirements for the DEC under Funding Opportunity Announcement Number HRSA-15-030 to learn more about the DEC&amp;#8217;s role. During its first year of funding, the ITAC will work in close collaboration with the DEC, providing assistance in the development of implementation plans for the four interventions. Assisted by the DEC, the ITAC will lead the development of technical assistance (TA) agendas informed by those implementation plans. In the second half of Year 1, the ITAC will select and fund up to 12 contracted performance sites, which must be Ryan White-funded medical provider organizations willing to implement an intervention developed by the DEC. The selection and number of performance sites to be funded will be made in consultation with the SPNS Program and the DEC. To assure their diverse representation, selection criteria will include target population and geographical location. During the intervention implementation phase, the ITAC will provide implementation-related TA to the performance sites to assure optimal implementation of the interventions. During this period, the ITAC will continue to work closely with the DEC, which will implement a multi-site evaluation and provide evaluation-related TA to the performance sites. The ITAC also will be responsible for coordinating the logistics for annual national meetings of the initiative throughout the project period. The principal goal of this initiative and its evidence-informed interventions is the improvement of health outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum, with an emphasis on viral suppression.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 to support a single organization that will serve as a Dissemination and Evaluation Center (DEC) for a new Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) initiative entitled Dissemination of Evidence-Informed Interventions to Improve Health Outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum. Funding will be provided in the form of a cooperative agreement to support one (1) organization for up to five years to disseminate and evaluate the implementation of evidence-informed interventions adapted from previous SPNS initiatives in health care settings. The awardee will first be expected to adapt these interventions to better fit into the new health care environment, and then conduct a multi-site evaluation of their implementation by up to 12 performance sites interested in incorporating these interventions into their change management processes. The performance sites will be funded under a separate funding mechanism. Evaluation results will inform best practices and lessons learned to be included in additional dissemination efforts. Thus the dissemination role of the successful applicant will be equally important to its evaluation role. In its first year of funding, the DEC will develop four implementation-ready interventions adapted from previous Special Projects of National Significance initiatives. These initiatives are Enhancing Linkages for Those Newly Released from Jails (2007-2012, more commonly known as the SPNS Jails Initiative);[1] An Evaluation of Innovative Methods for Integrating Buprenorphine Opioid Abuse Treatment in HIV Primary Care (2004-2009, commonly known as the Buprenorphine Initiative);[2] Targeted HIV Outreach and Intervention Model Development and Evaluation for Underserved HIV-positive Populations Not in Care (2001-2006, more commonly known as the SPNS Outreach Initiative);[3] and the Secretary&amp;#8217;s Minority AIDS Initiative Fund (SMAIF) Retention and Re-Engagement Project (2011-2014, also known as the Peer Re-Engagement Project).[4] The DEC will develop web-based materials for dissemination of each intervention, listing its activity components; theoretical foundations; staffing and training requirements; costs (if available); and previously published evidence-informed research and evaluation reports and journal articles. Each intervention will have its own webpage with these materials, to be published on the existing TARGET (Technical Assistance Resources, Guidance, Education and Training) Center website.[5] Also during Year 1, the DEC will design a multi-site evaluation plan to assess the fidelity, effectiveness and costs of these interventions when implemented in Years 2 through 4 of the initiative. The DEC also will lead the development of implementation plans for the four interventions, working in close collaboration with an Implementation Technical Assistance Center (ITAC). The DEC will also assist the ITAC in the development of technical assistance (TA) agendas informed by those implementation plans. The TA agendas will include site visit protocols developed by the ITAC with assistance from the DEC. In the second half of Year 1, the ITAC will select and fund up to 12 subcontracted performance sites, which must be Ryan White-funded medical provider organizations willing to implement an intervention developed by the DEC. DEC applicants should carefully read the requirements for the ITAC under Funding Opportunity Announcement Number HRSA-15-130 to learn more about the DEC&amp;#8217;s role in this initiative. In Years 2 through 4, the DEC will implement its multi-site evaluation, collecting outcome, process and cost data from the performance sites. During this period, the DEC will also be responsible for the provision of evaluation-related TA to the performance sites, while the ITAC will provide implementation-related TA. Informed by its findings from the multi-site evaluation, the DEC will revise and enhance its web-based materials published earlier on the TARGET Center website. The DEC also will engage in publication and dissemination of findings from the initiative, including best practices, lessons learned and cost analyses to foster rapid, efficient replication of these evidence-informed interventions by other HIV care organizations. The principal goal of this initiative and its evidence-informed interventions is the improvement of health outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum, with an emphasis on viral suppression. DEC proposals are expected to demonstrate expertise in conducting national multi-site evaluations of innovative models and interventions to improve the delivery of HIV services to people living with HIV.

        <Description>In 2005, a variety of partners, including the BLM, produced the Lane County Wildfire Protection Plan, which identified a variety of actions to reduce the risk of wildfire within Lane County. To accomplish these objectives within and adjacent to the City of Eugene, the City of Eugene and Oregon Department of Forestry developed and proposed the South Ridgeline Fire Fuel Reduction Project in 2011 to multiple federal agencies. Objectives: Implement landscape-scale fuels reduction treatments to reduce the risk of damaging wildfires in the Wildland Urban Interface of the South Hills of Eugene and the West Eugene Wetlands to create a more fire resilient landscape. Implement and maintain greater coordination among local, state, and federal land management agencies and private landowners to effectively prioritize hazardous fuels treatments, and provide the framework for reducing the risks and consequences of wildland fire to the community. Promote public awareness of wildfire hazard, engage participation, and enhance partnerships through education, outreach and coordination of diverse and representative groups of the City of Eugene&amp;apos;s population. </Description>

        <Description>: The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) seeks to increase mutual understanding between the U.S. and foreign publics through carefully designed professional programs. IVLP projects support U.S. foreign policy objectives. Participants are current or potential foreign leaders in government, politics, media, education, science, non-government organizations (NGOs), the arts, and other key fields. They are selected by officers of U.S. embassies overseas and are approved by the DOS staff in Washington, D.C. Since the program&amp;apos;s inception in 1940, nearly 200,000 distinguished International Visitors have participated in the program. More than 335 program alumni subsequently became heads of state or government in their home countries. All IVLP projects maintain a non-partisan character. The Bureau seeks proposals from U.S. public and private nonprofit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3)for development and implementation of professional programs for Bureau-sponsored International Visitors to the U.S. Once the awards are made, separate proposals will be required for each group project [Single Country (SCP), Sub-Regional (SRP), Regional (RP), and Multi-Regional (MRP)] as well as less formal proposals for Individual and Individuals Traveling Together (ITT) and On Demand projects. Each project will focus on a substantive theme. Some typical IVLP projects themes are: (1) agriculture; (2) counterterrorism; (3) democracy and human rights (4) economic and business development; (5) education; (6) environmental issues; (7) freedom of information; (8) international crime; (9) media; (10) rule of law; (11) science and technology; (12) tolerance and diversity; (13) U.S. foreign policy, and (14) U.S. government and political systems, and (15) Women&amp;apos;s Issues.</Description>

        <Description>DHAPP continues to rely upon the vital support of various partners, such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), in implementing HIV prevention, care and treatment programs across the globe. Each country has a customized plan to help the countries&amp;#146; militaries bring its HIV/AIDS programs to sufficient scale to help reduce the spread of the epidemic and mitigate its impact. This BAA is intended to solicit existing partners and establish new partners to support the development of a DHAPP.org web site. This site will serve as a source for program updates, with both a public side for general information, as well as a password protected intranet side, with protected privacy modules for compartmentalized and specific partner information and access. An online database is needed so partners can routinely upload their monthly and quarterly expenditure reports, as well as program status based upon a milestone table, created as part of their funding grant. This database needs to be secure and have the aggregate all individual partners&amp;#146; submissions into a single file for download by the DHAPP operations staff in a common format, such as XL and CSV and TXT. Other capacities of the site should include a file structure to upload and download files, internet and email messaging, as well as database functions to support information gathering and analysis. Proposed work should include an infrastructure plan, and a plan for support and/or turnover of the site. The site code needs to be made available to the DHAPP staff and ongoing training for DHAPP operations staff will be needed to be able to modify the webpage and database as the reporting needs are changed. Offerors should have prior experience with development and hosting of websites preferably for funding multiple partners, from many countries and cultures and languages, and experience in training staff to use and maintain web based databases. Offerors should also have with development and hosting of DoD websites, and be familiar with the most recent Information Assurance requirements. Proposals should include a discussion of the current DoD Policy Guides on web hosting and compliance issues should be discussed in detail (http://www.defense.gov/webmasters/).

        <Description>The Western Ecological Research Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a Member of the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The project is titled &amp;#191;Geospatial Analyses of Western Landscapes&amp;#191;. This project is aimed at gaining a better understanding of population connectivity and habitat availability for western wildlife and plants by identifying existing corridors and core habitat areas that have the potential to promote gene flow and population viability across a landscape encumbered by a variety of renewable energy development areas in addition to utility and transportation corridors, military training, recreation activities, urbanization, and climate change. Present, past, and future species distributions will be analyzed by incorporating various climate scenarios. Data from a variety of projects and different research designs will be spatially analyzed using a library of environmental covariates that is maintained by USGS and will continue to be developed as part of this collaboration. By identifying these corridors and habitat areas, we can explore opportunities to maintain viable populations and genetic connectivity by providing data that can inform adaptive management decisions. The experiments may include, but are not limited to a variety of wildlife species such as Mojave and Sonoran desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii and G. morafkai, respectively), golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), Colorado Desert fringe-toed lizards (Uma notata), and up to 25 other species that will be considered as the work proceeds.</Description>

        <Description>A modification to this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)has been posted on EERE Exchange. The purpose of the modification is to add the Data Management Plan to the Full Application Content Requirements table on page 26. Please go to - https://eere-exchange.energy.gov - to review the revised FOA. Please review important information below about the EERE Exchange website as it relates to this Funding Opportunity Announcment (FOA). Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001310 entitled &amp;#8220;Next Generation Marine Energy Systems - Durability and Survivability&amp;#8221; focuses on the robustness of innovative MHK design systems with high performance potential and attempts to address questions regarding the costs, reliability, and survivability of innovative and novel system designs. This FOA will address these questions early in the development cycle and avoid costly failures and design iterations with prototypes at a larger scale. Projects awarded from the &amp;#8220;Next Generation Marine Energy Systems - Durability and Survivability&amp;quot; FOA will improve system cost characeristics (i.e. Initial capital costs (ICC), Operational Expenditures (OPEX), Availability, and System Life) by reducing the risk and uncertainty that drives conservatism in design and premature failures in operations. Projects awarded under Topic Area 1 will reduce ICC or extend system life by developing system designs and defining the conditions for survival. Projects will establish and validate survival conditions by testing model scale prototypes in a controlled laboratory environment. Under Topic Area 2, more mature systems that are ready for testing as a fully integrated system will reduce ICC, reduce OPEX, or increase availability by developing new approaches to installation, operations, and maintenance. Prototypes will be instrumented and monitored to identify sources as well as progression of failures that drive the cost of operations. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE Exchange website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE Exchange website. A User Guide for the EERE Exchange website can be found on the website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE Exchange website. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) into NRCS technical manuals and guides or to the private sector. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology to increase adoption with an emphasis on opportunities to scale proven, emerging conservation strategies. CIG does not fund research projects, with the exception of on-farm conservation research. On-farm conservation research is defined as an investigation conducted to answer a specified conservation -related question using a statistically valid design, while employing farm-scale equipment on farm fields. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>This cooperative agreement is entered into solely with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) because the Corps-ODFW hatchery relation is exclusively defined in both the original authorizing legislation and reinforced in subsequent salmonid fish legislation programs.  Jointly operated Corps-ODFW hatcheries were authorized to economically and efficiently combine past Oregon hatcheries impacted by the dams with newly authorized joint hatchery programs, so as to maximize the economy and efficiency of both state and federal fish programs.  Subsequent federal legislation reinforces these joint activities and goals.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The US Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District (USACE) intends to enter into a sole source cooperative agreement with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) for the operation and maintenance of fish hatcheries to meet mitigation requirements for projects of USACE, Portland District. This cooperative agreement is a continuation of an agreement issued in 1990 and other previous agreements. USACE has constructed approximately 20 dams and related hydropower facilities along the Columbia River, Willamette Valley, and Rogue River Basin. Under common law and statutory law, wild fish belong to the states. Because of this ownership and control relationship, the federal laws authorizing the 3 Columbia River, 13 Willamette Valley, and 3 Rogue River dams in Portland District all authorized hatchery programs jointly owned and operated by the Federal Government and the respective state fish agencies &amp;#150; in the case of Oregon &amp;#150; ODFW. The common factor in these Portland District hatchery operations is that the Corps dams inundated fish spawning grounds and affected or impeded fish passage, resulting in the hatchery mitigation requirements. The hatchery mitigation program is responsible for mitigating impacts from the construction and operation of dams built by USACE. This entails raising more than a million pounds of fish to be released in various water bodies in the Willamette, Rogue, and Columbia River basins to mitigate impacts to lost salmon and steelhead, including impacts to lost spawning and rearing habitat. More specifically, activities include collection of brood stock, spawning of returning adults, rearing of juveniles, and the release of fish into appropriate water bodies. Other activities include outplanting of adults at strategic locations to aid fish in their upstream migration and to improve fish populations. </Description>

        <Description>The MSRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. The Investigator-Initiated Research Award supports highly rigorous, high-impact research projects that have the potential to make an important contribution to MS research and/or patient care. Research projects may focus on any phase of research, excluding clinical trials. The rationale for a research idea may be derived from laboratory discovery, population-based studies, a clinician&amp;#8217;s firsthand knowledge of patients, or anecdotal data. Applications must include preliminary and/or published data that are relevant to MS and the proposed research project. All projects should adhere to a core set of standards for rigorous study design and reporting to maximize the reproducibility and translational potential of preclinical research. The standards are described in Landis, S.C., et al. A call for transparent reporting to optimize the predictive value of preclinical research, Nature 2012, 490:187-191 (www.nature.com/nature/journal/v490/n7419/full/nature11556.html). While these standards are written for preclinical studies, the basic principles of randomization, blinding, sample-size estimation, and data handling derive from well-established best practices in research and should be applied. Projects that include research on animal models are required to submit Attachment 8, Animal Research Plan, as part of the application package to describe how these standards will be addressed. Applicants should consult the ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments) guidelines to ensure relevant aspects of rigorous animal research are adequately planned for and, ultimately, reported. The ARRIVE guidelines can be found at http://www.nc3rs.org.uk/page.asp?id=1357. Research involving human subjects and human anatomical substances is permitted; however, clinical trials are not allowed under this funding opportunity. For more information on clinical trials and clinical research overall, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided on the electronic Biomedical Research Application Portal (eBRAP) system at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm. PIs wishing to apply for funding for a clinical trial should utilize the FY15 MSRP Pilot Clinical Trial Award mechanism (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-15-MSRP-PCTA).</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to develop and implement the 2015-2017 Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program (IYLEP) for High School Students. The goal of IYLEP is to cultivate future generations of Iraqi leaders by providing Iraqi high school students exposure to leadership skills, civic education and responsibility, diversity awareness and tolerance, and the values of civic engagement. Proposals should include a U.S.-based exchange component and explain how program activities will promote mutual understanding between American and Iraqi youth. IYLEP advances the goals of the 2008 Strategic Framework Agreement between the United States and the Republic of Iraq. Subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy expects to award one cooperative agreement for up to $1,500,000 to carry out IYLEP for High School Students. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey&amp;#191;s Alaska Science Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research focused on climate driven co-evolutionary dynamics among small mammals and parasites distributed through the Arctic. This research is critical for informing management agencies within Alaska and elsewhere as to biodiversity trajectories within a warming Arctic climate regime. Considerable preliminary data exists based on previous funded research efforts attesting to hybridization dynamics occurring across the boreal forest-Arctic tundra ecotone in northern Alaska, between closely related shrew species. The history of diversification of these host shrew species includes divergent ecological habitat affinities and isolation-reconnection dynamics associated with sea-level changes through the biogeographic province of Beringia.</Description>

        <Description>The MSRP Pilot Clinical Trial Award (PCTA) mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. The PCTA supports early-phase, proof-of-principle clinical trials to investigate hypothesis-based, innovative interventions that have the potential to result in a profound impact on management of MS symptoms. While therapeutic approaches proposed for testing through the PCTA must represent novel, hypothesis-based, &amp;#8220;outside-the-box&amp;#8221; approaches for treating MS symptoms, they may include therapies already in clinical use, or undergoing clinical testing, for other diseases, provided that the proposed use for MS would lead to a major advancement for treating one of the disease symptoms. It is anticipated that outcomes from studies funded by this award will provide scientific rationale for subsequent development of larger, efficacy-based clinical trials of interventions that will transform MS patient care. The PCTA will support clinical trials encompassing Phase 0, Phase I, or pilot Phase II for drugs or drug combinations, Class II or III for devices, or other types of trials that conduct early clinical testing of innovative approaches for MS symptoms. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking funding for a preclinical research project should consider the Investigator-Initiated Research Award (W81XWH-15-MSRP-IIRA). The term &amp;#8220;human subjects&amp;#8221; is used in this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity to refer to individuals who will be recruited for or who will participate in the proposed pilot clinical trial. For more information, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm. Examples of acceptable studies include but are not limited to the following: &amp;#8226; Identification of an appropriate population for the proposed study &amp;#8226; Identification of the dosage, duration, and/or delivery strategy of an intervention &amp;#8226; Evaluation of the feasibility of the intervention in MS &amp;#8226; Evaluation of efficacy and safety The following are important aspects of submission for the PCTA: &amp;#8226; Pre-application is required; application submission is by invitation only. &amp;#8226; The application must include scientific rationale and/or preliminary data relevant to MS and the proposed study. &amp;#8226; The proposed intervention to be tested should offer significant potential impact on the management of MS symptoms. &amp;#8226; The application should demonstrate documented availability of, and access to, a suitable patient population that will support a meaningful outcome for the study. &amp;#8226; The application should clearly describe the steps that will be taken to advance the intervention into the next stage of development following the conclusion of this award. &amp;#8226; Preclinical studies will not be supported by this mechanism. &amp;#8226; Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) approvals, if applicable, must be in place before an award will be made. &amp;#8226; Clinical trials are expected to be initiated within 6 months of the award date. Funding from the PCTA must support a clinical trial and cannot be used for preclinical research or correlative studies. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking funding for preclinical or correlative studies should refer to the FY15 MSRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award mechanism (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-15-MSRP-IIRA).</Description>

        <Description>The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals of interest to the Biological Technologies Office (BTO). Proposed research should investigate leading edge approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, technologies, or systems at the intersection of biology with engineering and the physical and computer sciences. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of the art. BTO seeks unconventional approaches that are outside the mainstream, challenge assumptions, and have the potential to radically change established practice, lead to extraordinary outcomes, and create entirely new fields. The mission of BTO is to foster, demonstrate, and transition breakthrough fundamental research, discoveries, and applications that integrate biology, engineering, computer science, mathematics, and the physical sciences to expand the national security toolkit. BTO&amp;#8217;s investment portfolio goes far beyond life sciences applications in medicine to include areas of research such as human-machine interfaces, microbes as production platforms, and deep exploration of the impact of evolving ecologies and environments on U.S. readiness and capabilities. BTO&amp;#8217;s programs operate across a wide range of scales, from individual cells to the warfighter to global ecosystems. BTO responds to the urgent and long-term needs of the Department of Defense (DoD) and addresses national security priorities. The overarching goal is to develop, demonstrate, and transition biological- based technologies as part of the toolkit available to DARPA stakeholders. BTO is seeking novel approaches that will build technical communities that tap into sources of innovation both inside and outside traditional DoD performer communities. BTO encourages efforts that are creative and agile both in terms of the technologies proposed and in the structure of the approach. See the attached BAA Package for specific areas BTO is interested in submissions for, and the specific abstract and proposal submission requirements. </Description>

        <Description>Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC) proposes a partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) to provide education based conservation crews. This program will be a minimum of 10 weeks long and complete work on projects identified by Service staff. RMYC will manage the day to day needs of the program while collaborating with Service staff on project details. Local youth (16 to 25 years old) and staff will be hired for this project. In addition, RMYC will provide training and educational opportunities for the crew, including, but not limited to, cultural awareness and diversity training, technical skills training, environmental stewardship, and positive peer mentoring. Youth Corps Model: The corps model is built on the foundation of engaging young adults to work together to serve community needs. Under the guidance of an adult mentor, corps members realize the strength of teamwork, diversity, and perseverance as they problem solve through challenging work projects. A central theme of the model is training and education; members are engaged in a rigorous curriculum that addresses workplace proficiencies, conservation ethics, and life skills as youth prepare to be leaders in their community.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA.

        <Description>Background: The BLM has partnered with the Leave No Trace Center for over 20 years to provide stewardship programs and outdoor ethics education to BLM visitors and BLM staff. Together, BLM and Leave No Trace have provided outreach and outdoor ethics education to thousands of visitors on BLM lands at recreation sites, through signage and print media and through education programs offered to visitors and BLM staff. As a result, BLM visitors and staff have been exposed to responsible recreation practices, outdoor ethics education information and have learned how to practice minimal impact principles that supports the long-term integrity of the BLM lands and resources and builds stewardship of public lands. Objectives: The mission of the Stewardship and Outdoor Ethics Education Program is to build appreciation and &amp;#191;ownership&amp;#191; of the public lands by fostering a connection between people and the land through outdoor experiences, education, and volunteerism. The BLM relies on partners and volunteers to help fulfill the Stewardship Programs mission. One of the BLMs long-standing partners, Leave No Trace helps the agency promote stewardship and teach outdoor ethics and responsible recreation to the public and BLM staff Public Benefit: Through this outreach opportunity public land visitors will learn how to practice Leave No Trace principles and will be educated in the importance of their responsibility of having best practices in outdoor ethics while recreating on public lands. They will also learn the importance of environmental stewardship and the value of public lands, which in return will be able to pass on their environmental stewardship knowledge and practices to the next generation of public land stewards. Through stewardship programs and outdoor ethics education BLM staffs involvement through this project will further exposed them to responsible recreation practices and further education in Leave No Trace Outdoor Ethic </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this project is to generate data and develop a statistical sampling and analysis strategy to aid FDA/CDER policy in drafting data-based guidance in support of the use of appropriate statistical tools and standards. Specifically, the development of standards for statistical methods suitable for lot release which could be used to drive industry towards increased product and process understanding throughout the lifecycle of a product. The project will provide data, sampling and data analysis approaches to inform for the agency and the human pharmaceutical industry to advance the development of risk- and science-based standards. These projects could be split into subsets by product type, process type, manufacturing complexity and/or therapeutic index to facilitate understanding.</Description>

        <Description>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention entered into its current five-year cooperative agreement with the World Health Organization on September 1, 2014. The agreement will end on August 31, 2019. CDC and WHO initiated this cooperative agreement relationship in 1995 as an outgrowth of previous collaborations and as part of the CDC strategy to address emerging infectious diseases. Over the years, these agreements have served as broad-scope umbrella agreements under which a wide variety of projects addressing emerging infectious diseases may be undertaken collaboratively. On September 19, 2011, the Government of the United States of America and the World Health Organization signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to assist WHO Member States in strengthening their capacity to meet the requirements of the International Health Regulations (2005). The MOU encourages CDC and WHO to pursue activities that improve the abilities of all nations to detect, report, and respond to infectious diseases quickly and effectively. CDC program managers, WHO administrators, and national health authorities agree that the activities funded under the current agreement have supported the purposes of the MOU, strengthened overall infectious disease surveillance and response, improved national public health infrastructure, and provided critical technical assistance in support of global health security. With the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa, this FOA serves to expand the cooperative agreement specifically for Ebola and other highly infectious diseases. Surveillance, epidemiological tracking, specimen and patient handling, laboratory testing, infection control, and other public health activities, etc., all must be strengthened in Africa and globally to assure rapid detection and response and safe handling of patients or speciments suspected of being infected with Ebola or other highly infectious diseases/agents as well as to shore up ongoing public health infrastructure and programs (e.g., vaccination campaigns, routine public health activities, etc.) that are being challenged and in some instances, stalled, due to the ongoing Ebola outbreak.</Description>

        <Description>Pursuant to the PROTECT Our Children Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-401, hereafter, the PROTECT Act), the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program seeks to maintain and expand state and regional task forces to address technology-facilitated child exploitation. These task forces work collaboratively as a national network of law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies that prevent, interdict in, and investigate Internet crimes against children. The program provides funding and other support to existing task forces to help them acquire the necessary knowledge, personnel, and equipment to develop multijurisdictional, multiagency responses to such offenses. This program is authorized by the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2015, Pub. L. No. 113&amp;#8211;235. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>This funding requires immediate implementation to ensure there is no lapse in access to care, which would contribute to the existing disparity for this population. Applicants must currently operate a proactive tobacco cessation telephone quitline that provides counseling in Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Korean and Vietnamese languages, using a culturally tailored, tested, evidence-based service protocol. These calls must be answered in the callers&amp;amp;rsquo; predominant languages by counselors fluent in the respective language, rather than through the use of translation services.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>Tobacco cessation telephonic counseling services are an evidence-based intervention for smoking cessation. However, such services are limited for Asian immigrants with limited English proficiency. Several subgroups of Asian Americans have smoking rates that are higher than the general population. This includes men who predominantly speak Chinese (including Cantonese and Mandarin), Korean, and Vietnamese languages (CKV). Traditional state quitline services have not adequately met the needs of callers who predominantly speak these languages. Providing culturally and linguistically appropriate promotion for an Asian quitline is highly specialized and can be challenging with limited expertise available. CDC plans to directly support a national Asian language quitline with $1 million in annual funding for a period of three years.</Description>

        <Description>As many as 100,000 youth younger than 18 years old are released from juvenile correctional facilities every year. These young people often return to their communities with complex needs, such as physical and behavioral health issues and barriers to education and employment. This grant program will provide planning grants to state and local government agencies and federally recognized Native American/Alaskan Native tribes to support their efforts to develop and finalize a comprehensive juvenile community supervision reform strategic plan that will implement evidence-based supervision strategies to reduce recidivism and improve outcomes for juveniles under community supervision . When grantees complete their strategic plan, OJJDP expects to invite them to submit applications through a competitive process for implementation grants of as much as $650,000 to implement their plans. Future funding decisions for implementation grants will be competitive and will consider the quality and comprehensiveness of the strategic plan and associated solicitation deliverables. </Description>

        <Description>his grant amendment will provide additional funding and time for further prototype improvements based on the lessons learned from the TTC field test. Specifically, the testing speed will be increased to levels comparable with conventional ultrasonic rail inspections, in the range of 10-15 mph, and a better solution than heavy water spray will be found to minimize rail-wheel interaction noise. In addition, the coverage of the system will be increased from the current middle and gage side of the railhead to include the field side of the rail head. The additional work under this amendment includes a second field test of the air-coupled system, at sustained speeds, in the fall of 2015 and a third test/demonstration to industry in spring/summer of 2016. It is expected that, with the success of these planned field tests, technology acceptance and deployment will readily follow, to further the FRA mission of US railroad safety.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Telehealth Focused Rural Health Research Center (RHRC) Cooperative Agreement. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to increase the amount of publically available, high quality, impartial, clinically-informed and policy-relevant research related to telehealth. This research will assist rural health providers and decision-makers at the Federal, state and local levels by contributing to the policy-relevant evidence base of telehealth services. The awardee will provide information that includes, but is not limited to, the impact of telehealth services in rural and underserved communities on access to health care, population health, health care spending (both for payers and for the patients receiving the services), quality of care, home health, and clinical delivery of care. This would also include studies assessing the comparative effectiveness of specific telehealth services relative to in-person services in the same clinical area. The award provided through the Telehealth Focused Rural Health Research Center Cooperative Agreement is designed to provide support for a four-year research center with a specific concentration on telehealth. It is intended to provide infrastructure to support telehealth services researchers as they explore the complexities of telehealth issues. The cooperative agreement excludes biomedical research.</Description>

        <Description>&amp;#8226; The purpose of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service grant funding is to mobilize more Americans to observe the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday as a day of service in communities, to encourage those who serve on this holiday to make a long-term commitment to community service, and to bring people together to focus on service to others. &amp;#8226; On the third Monday in January, Americans across the country celebrate this national holiday honoring the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During his lifetime, Dr. King sought to forge the common ground on which people from all walks of life could join together as equals to address important community issues. Service, he realized, was the great equalizer. As he stated, &amp;#8220;Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.&amp;#8221;&amp;#8226; In recognition of that spirit, Congress in 1994 passed the King Holiday and Service Act. Since then CNCS, in partnership with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc., has taken the lead in helping to transform the King Holiday into a day of service to meet community needs. As they have since 1994, thousands of Americans will remember Dr. King by serving in their communities, by making the holiday &amp;#8220;A Day On, Not a Day Off.&amp;#8221; Service projects will meet a tangible need in the community, such as supporting increased access to college, alleviating hunger, and teaching about nutrition, and these projects may, at the same time, also meet a need of community spirit, such as building a sense of community or mutual responsibility. All initiatives should serve as a call to service that continues throughout the year. These service projects will be built on Dr. King&amp;#8217;s concepts of strengthening communities, empowering individuals, and bridging barriers.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) States/Territories Part B Supplemental Grant Program. The purpose of this program is to supplement the HIV care and treatment services provided by the States/Territories through RWHAP Part B and AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Base funds. The amount of funding is determined by the applicant&amp;#8217;s ability to demonstrate the need in the State/Territory based on an objective and quantified basis. Section 2620(c) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act directs the Secretary to provide funds to States to address the decline or disruption of services related to the decline in the amount of formula funding. Such a decline in funding compares the amount of formula funding received in the current fiscal year (FY) to the amount received in FY 2006, and a State&amp;#8217;s assertion that such decline has had an impact on services available to all individuals with HIV/AIDS identified and eligible in the State. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) awards priority funding based on this calculation to States for which a priority award is appropriate. The RWHAP Part B Supplemental funding is used to assist States and Territories in developing and/or enhancing access to a comprehensive continuum of high quality care and treatment services for low-income individuals and families living with HIV. As such, it supports the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) goals of: reducing HIV incidence, increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes, and reducing HIV-related health disparities. In July 2013, the President issued an Executive Order &amp;#8220;HIV Care Continuum Initiative&amp;#8221; which is intended to accelerate improvements in HIV prevention and care in the United States. Additional information regarding the NHAS and the HIV Care Continuum may be found at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/onap_nhas_improving_outcomes_dec_2013.pdf. Applicants must demonstrate the severity of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the State/Territory, using quantifiable data on epidemiology, co-morbidities, cost of care, the service needs of emerging populations, unmet need for core medical services, and unique service delivery challenges. Applicants must explain why supplemental funding is necessary to provide HIV care and treatment services for people living with HIV (PLWH) in the State/Territory. Applicants must describe how supplemental funding will support viral suppression and achieve positive client level health outcomes. As required in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program legislation, Section 2620(b) of the PHS Act, information to be used to demonstrate need for the FY 2015 application includes the following: 1) The current prevalence of HIV/AIDS; 2) The unmet need for HIV-related services as determined by Section 2617(b) of the PHS Act; 3) An increasing need for HIV/AIDS-related services based on increases in the number of living cases of HIV/AIDS; 4) Increases in the number of living cases of HIV/AIDS within new or emerging subpopulations; 5) Relevant factors related to the cost and complexity of delivering health care to individuals with HIV/AIDS in the eligible area; 6) The impact of co-morbid factors, including co-occurring conditions inclusive of high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, substance use, severe mental illness, and other co-morbid factors; 7) The prevalence of homelessness; 8) The prevalence of individuals who were released from Federal, State, or local prisons during the preceding three years, and had HIV/AIDS on the date of their release; 9) Relevant factors that limit access to health care including geographic variation, adequacy of health insurance coverage and language barriers; and 10) Impact of a decline in the amount of RWHAP Part B funding received on services available to all individuals with HIV/AIDS identified and eligible for RWHAP services. A comprehensive HIV/AIDS continuum of care includes the provision of the following core medical services: outpatient and ambulatory health services, ADAP medications, AIDS pharmaceutical assistance (local), oral health care, early intervention services, health insurance premium and cost sharing assistance, home health care, medical nutrition therapy, hospice services, home and community-based health services, mental health services, medical case management, treatment adherence services, and substance abuse outpatient care as well as appropriate supportive services that assist PLWH in accessing treatment of HIV infection that is consistent with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Treatment Guidelines. The guidelines provide standards of care recommendations for antiretroviral treatment, including prophylaxis and treatment of opportunistic infections. The current HHS Treatment Guidelines are available at http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov. Comprehensive HIV/AIDS care also includes access to the following support services: case management (non-medical), child care services, emergency financial assistance, food bank/home delivered meals, health education/risk reduction, housing services, legal services, linguistic services, medical transportation services, outreach services, psychosocial support services, referral for health care/supportive services, rehabilitation services, respite care, residential substance abuse services and treatment adherence counseling. Important Notes: The following information will assist in understanding and completing this year&amp;#8217;s application: &amp;#183; On December 26, 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published new guidance for Federal award programs, OMB Uniform Guidance: Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Guidance). The Guidance was implemented by the HHS as 45 CFR Part 75 effective December 26, 2014. The Guidance supersedes and streamlines requirements from OMB Circulars A-21, A-87, A-110, A-122, A-89, A-102 and A-133 and the guidance in Circular A-50 on Single Audit Act follow-up. It is a key component of a larger Federal effort to more effectively focus Federal award resources on improving performance and outcomes while ensuring the financial integrity of taxpayer dollars. The effective date of 45 CFR 75 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for HHS Awards was December 26, 2014, and the requirements are applicable to awards issued on or after that date. For non-Federal entities that are nonprofit organizations or institutions of higher education, there is a one-year grace period for implementation of the procurement standards in 45 CFR 75.316 through 75.325. &amp;#183; Recipients not meeting the 75 percent core medical services expenditure requirement will be subject to the financial penalty associated with this requirement. Recipients may submit a core medical services waiver in accordance with the Federal Register Notice, Vol. 78, No.101, dated Friday, May 24, 2013, and may be found at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-05-24/pdf/2013-12354.pdf.

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grants Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#191;s current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species of greatest conservation need and take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project. Additional information about the State Wildlife Grants Program is on the web at &amp;#172;http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SWG/SWG.htm.

        <Description>This project will identify critical information requirements across the juvenile justice system (e.g., victimization, community wellness, law enforcement, diversion, detention, indigent defense, prosecution, adjudication, transfer to criminal court, corrections, reentry, and recidivism). It will develop model data elements with recommended definitions and coding categories that administrative data systems and other juvenile justice-related data collection efforts (e.g., community surveys) can adopt. The award recipient will also develop model measures and analyses with broad and practical applications for state, local, and tribal efforts to monitor trends and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of their systems. That is, for each data area, the project will provide examples of how state and local juvenile justice agencies should use these data to serve their information needs (e.g., standard system indicators, problem identification, program monitoring and assessment, and assessing the effects of system changes). The proposed approach should identify the key data elements and uses of data that will inform jurisdictions&amp;#8217; progress in achieving juvenile justice system reform. Research will support the data elements, measures, and analyses developed, and examples of successful implementation in jurisdictions across the country will inform this effort. A significant component of the proposed work will involve engaging stakeholders and developing a comprehensive strategy to disseminate and promote the model measures using innovative technology and communications mechanisms. These activities will assist OJJDP in fulfilling its responsibility to improve the consistency and quality of justice information and to inform data-driven policy and practice decisions at the federal, state, and local levels.</Description>

        <Description>a. Background: Through an existing assistance agreement, Audubon Arizona has been a partner with BLM and the Phoenix Union School District in developing and implementing the River Pathways program. This program has two main objectives: 1. Educating and engaging youth in riparian ecology and management; and 2. Carrying out bird and riparian habitat surveys on public lands. Audubon staff in conjunction with teachers from Carl Haden High School, Metro Tech High School, Phoenix Bioscience High School and Central High School developed the River Pathways curriculum which gives students a background on riparian ecology, vegetation, wildlife and geomorphology. Since its start, River Pathways has reached over 1,800 students from 24 different schools in the Phoenix area. Students are taught the River Pathways curriculum at the various high schools then take field trips to the Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Audubon Center (&amp;#191;Rio Salado Audubon Center&amp;#191;) located adjacent to the Rio Salado River. At the Rio Salado Audubon Center students receive more education on riparian ecology and management, and are taught riparian monitoring techniques. Students also visit riparian areas for hands-on learning. To date, 11 summer high school student interns have been hired through the River Pathways program. These interns have assisted Audubon biologists in carrying out population and habitat surveys for the yellow-billed cuckoo and have provided data entry support. The yellow-billed cuckoo was recently listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, so data collected on this species and its habitat is critically important in conserving the species and the riparian habitat on which it depends. Audubon has also accomplished surveys for grassland species on public lands to help monitor the effectiveness of ongoing grassland restoration treatments. b. Objectives: The objectives of this new agreement with Audubon Arizona are to continue carrying out the River Pathways program as described above. This agreement will assist Audubon with their important ongoing work in engaging youth in science and natural resource management and in collecting critical data to help conserve birds and their habitat. </Description>

        <Description>Analyzing existing data sets provides researchers an efficient and cost-effective method for answering critical research questions. Grants for Secondary Analyses of Data on Child Care and Early Education will provide funding to address key questions that will inform both policymakers and future research. Existing data, which may have been collected for other purposes, have the potential to answer questions relevant to the goals and outcomes of the programs administered through the Administration for Children and Families, and in particular the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). Data of various types and from a number of sources may be mined for these purposes. Some examples of national datasets that are candidates for secondary analyses include, but are not limited to: the National Survey of Early Care and Education, the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, National Longitudinal Study of Youth, and the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Study. In addition, national-level or state-level administrative and systems data (e.g., ACF-801 Monthly Child Care Data; State Workforce Registries; Data on Quality Ratings and Improvement Systems; State Licensing and Program Monitoring Data) and primary research and evaluation data are all candidates for secondary analyses. The datasets may be used by themselves, in conjunction with other data or combined to best address the key research questions proposed. Research partnerships that include the CCDF administrator, Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) implementation leaders, other State and local owners of relevant administrative and systems data may be particularly fruitful for gaining access to datasets and addressing important research questions. In order to move the field forward regarding these questions, it is essential to assess the evidence already contained in existing data. The specific goals of the Secondary Analyses of Data on Child Care and Early Education Grants are: To address issues of current relevance to decision makers at the local, State, and national levels. Topics of particular interest for these grants are: (1) measurement of quality; (2) subsidy policies and parents&amp;#8217; access to high quality early care and education for their children; (3) qualifications, certification and credentialing of child care teachers and caregivers and its relationship to quality care and interactions between caregivers/teachers and children in support of children&amp;#8217;s development, especially for those working with infants and toddlers; (4) interplay between family and child characteristics, employment status, and choices of care; (5) child care characteristics and child and family outcomes; (6) implementation assessment (or process evaluation) of programs / initiatives; (7) effectiveness of state systems in monitoring and maintaining standards of care, and relationship between qualification of monitors/inspectors and the effectiveness of monitoring systems; (8) cost-benefit / cost-effectiveness analyses of child care initiatives; (9) collaboration, coordination, and alignment of services among early care and education programs; (10) characteristics of early care and education programs (center-based and home-based) and their relationship to indicators of program quality; and, (11) characteristics of early care and education (ECE) programs (type of ECE, affordability, flexibility) available to children from low-income households, of diverse race, ethnicity, and primary language, and of different ages. Grantees are required to produce at least one research-to-policy or &amp;#8211;practice brief based on the findings from the secondary analyses by the end of the project period to be disseminated broadly to policy and research audiences and present such findings at a professional/national meeting or conference, e.g., Head Start Research Conference, National Association for the Education of Young children (NAEYC), Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM), Child Care Policy Research Consortium (CCPRC). </Description>

        <Description>An organization may submit only one application through one of the following FY 2016 categories: Art Works or Challenge America. The Arts Endowment&amp;#8217;s support of the project may start on or after June 1, 2016. Generally, a period of performance of up to two years is allowed. Grant Program Description The guiding principle of &amp;quot;Art Works&amp;quot; is at the center of everything we do at the NEA. &amp;quot;Art Works&amp;quot; refers to three things: the works of art themselves, the ways art works on audiences, and the fact that art is work for the artists and arts professionals who make up the field. Art works by enhancing the value of individuals and communities, by connecting us to each other and to something greater than ourselves, and by empowering creativity and innovation in our society and economy. The arts exist for beauty itself, but they also are an inexhaustible source of meaning and inspiration. The NEA recognizes these catalytic effects of excellent art, and the key role that arts and design organizations play in revitalizing them. To deepen and extend the arts&amp;apos; value, including their ability to foster new connections and to exemplify creativity and innovation, we welcome projects that: &amp;#8226; Are likely to prove transformative with the potential for meaningful change, whether in the development or enhancement of new or existing art forms, new approaches to the creation or presentation of art, or new ways of engaging the public with art; &amp;#8226; Are distinctive, offering fresh insights and new value for their fields and/or the public through unconventional solutions; and &amp;#8226; Have the potential to be shared and/or emulated, or are likely to lead to other advances in the field. Beyond encouraging projects that demonstrate these characteristics, we want to achieve the following four objectives through the Art Works category: &amp;#8226; Creation: The creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence, &amp;#8226; Engagement: Public engagement with diverse and excellent art, &amp;#8226; Learning: Lifelong learning in the arts, and &amp;#8226; Livability: The strengthening of communities through the arts. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of LAC/RSD&amp;#8217;s new regional workforce development program is to strengthen the capacity of two- and three-year technical training institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to provide market-relevant quality training to youth from disadvantaged populations for employment. The ultimate goal of the project is that more young people, especially those from disadvantaged populations, obtain new or better employment. New employment is generally referred to as jobs&amp;#8212;be it formal, informal, or self-employment&amp;#8212;that are held by young people who previously were unemployed or not active in the labor market. &amp;#8220;Better employment&amp;#8221; is defined as job opportunities in which young people are earning more wages or income, have access to more stable employment, access to safe work environments, are exerting upgraded and market-relevant skills and competencies, and/or have greater opportunity for career advancement.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Administrator from providing flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3.  These floodplain management measures can take the form of floodplain management ordinances, building codes, or zoning provisions.  The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with and provide any necessary technical assistance to States and communities participating in the NFIP.  CAP-SSSE, through its State partnering agreement, is designed to make State personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA Regions in providing technical assistance to NFIP communities and in monitoring, evaluating, and pursuing corrective actions taken by communities in the performance of local floodplain management responsibilities.  Under CFR 60.25, Governors have exercised their prerogative of designating a &amp;quot;State Coordinating Agency&amp;quot; that is best able to carry out the flood loss reduction activities of the NFIP. State officials can be particularly effective in delivering these services to communities because of their knowledge, skills and familiarity of floodplain management with State governing authorities and how these interrelate with local floodplain management ordinances, as well as their knowledge of related State programs.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

The American and Indian experts will study the existing curriculum and develop a standardized syllabus, using the American model, to be adopted in community colleges across India. The Indian draft curriculum will be shared with the American experts several weeks prior to their arrival in India to enable them to study it in detail and come up with suggestions to improve and change them wherever necessary. During the four-day workshop, the Indian and American experts will fine tune and finalize the curriculum, which will then be presented to the National Skills Development Corporation for their final approval and implementation in the next academic year. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Administrator from providing flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3.  These floodplain management measures can take the form of floodplain management ordinances, building codes, or zoning provisions.  The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with and provide any necessary technical assistance to States and communities participating in the NFIP.  CAP-SSSE, through its State partnering agreement, is designed to make State personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA Regions in providing technical assistance to NFIP communities and in monitoring, evaluating, and pursuing corrective actions taken by communities in the performance of local floodplain management responsibilities.  Under CFR 60.25, Governors have exercised their prerogative of designating a &amp;quot;State Coordinating Agency&amp;quot; that is best able to carry out the flood loss reduction activities of the NFIP. State officials can be particularly effective in delivering these services to communities because of their knowledge, skills and familiarity of floodplain management with State governing authorities and how these interrelate with local floodplain management ordinances, as well as their knowledge of related State programs.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) provides national leadership, coordination, and resources to prevent and respond to juvenile delinquency and victimization. To fulfill this mission, OJJDP collaborates with professionals from diverse disciplines to improve juvenile justice practices and policies. Recent events have focused national attention on the need for enhanced trust between local law enforcement and the communities that they serve. OJJDP seeks to help inform law enforcement executives of key juvenile justice issues that jurisdictions face in improving relations between youth and law enforcement. Specifically, OJJDP will examine how to foster strong, collaborative relationships between local law enforcement, youth, families, and communities. OJJDP will emphasize evidence-based practices specific to youth engagement and will identify areas within police operations where additional training and technical assistance are needed, including training and protocols to enable law enforcement to better identify and respond to children who have been direct victims of or witnesses to violence in their homes, schools, and/or communities. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are limited to (1) the 28 State Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Programs identified in the appendix to this solicitation or (2) a state agency in Indiana, Mississippi, or New Mexico (states that currently do not have a state UCR program) that will be officially designated as responsible for collecting incident-based data from local law enforcement agencies and reporting those data to the FBI&amp;#8217;s NIBRS. These states either do not have an incident-based crime reporting component that is certified by the FBI to submit data to NIBRS, have a program that is NIBRS-certified but fewer than 80% of the law enforcement agencies in the state report incident-based data to the program, or do not have a state UCR program at this time.     BJS welcomes applications that involve two or more entities; however, the State UCR Program or the state agency in Indiana, Mississippi, or New Mexico (as indicated above) must be the lead applicant and other applicants must be proposed as subrecipients. The applicant must be the entity with primary responsibility for administering the funding and managing the entire program. Only one application per lead applicant will be considered; however, subrecipients may be part of multiple proposals.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is seeking proposals from state Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) programs to expand the state&amp;#8217;s capacity to report incident-based crime data to the FBI&amp;#8217;s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). BJS has the support of the FBI&amp;#8217;s Criminal Justice Information Services Division, which established and maintains the NIBRS program, for this project. The FBI is developing a plan to establish NIBRS as the law enforcement crime data reporting standard for the nation, with a complementary plan to phase out the Summary Reporting System of the UCR Program. This will result in an increase in the number of local law enforcement agencies reporting data to NIBRS. The typical mechanism by which a local agency contributes data to NIBRS is through its &amp;#8220;state pipeline,&amp;#8221; whereby agencies report their incident-based crime data to the NIBRS-certified UCR program in their respective state, and the state agency then sends the data from all the state&amp;#8217;s contributing agencies to the FBI. The FBI advocates the use of the &amp;#8220;state pipeline&amp;#8221; for crime data reporting. The plan to transition local agencies to NIBRS reporting requires enhancing the &amp;#8220;state pipeline&amp;#8221; to ensure state Uniform Crime Reporting programs are capable of receiving and processing local incident-based crime data. Enhancing states&amp;#8217; capacity to receive and transmit NIBRS data is an effort jointly supported by BJS and by the FBI&amp;#8217;s Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS). Funding under this solicitation will support (1) state programs that are transitioning from a Summary Reporting System to a system capable to receive state-specific incident-based crime data and report it in the NIBRS format to the FBI; (2) the establishment of a new state program capable of receiving state-specific, incident-based crime data and reporting it in the NIBRS format to the FBI; or (3) the expansion of the capabilities of an NIBRS-certified state program to receive and process more incident-based crime data.</Description>

        <Description>The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) receives a vast and growing amount of data in a variety of regulatory submissions from a multitude of sources and in a variety of formats. This wealth of data holds great potential to advance CDER&amp;#8217;s regulatory and scientific work, but the present lack of standardized data creates significant challenges to realizing that potential.The volume and complexity of drug-related information submitted to CDER for regulatory review is creating significant challenges to the Center&amp;#8217;s ability to efficiently and effectively perform its critical public health mission.The lack of standardized data affects CDER&amp;#8217;s review processes by curtailing a reviewer&amp;#8217;s ability to perform integral tasks such as rapid acquisition, analysis, storage and reporting of regulatory data. Improved data quality, accessibility and predictability will give reviewers more time to carry out complex analyses, ask in-depth questions and address late-emerging issues. Standardized data will allow reviewers to increase review consistency and perform evaluations across the drug lifecycle. This will enhance the Center&amp;#8217;s performance across key drug regulatory functions and ongoing business operations, including pre-market review, post-market safety, oversight of drug quality, and oversight of drug promotion.In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-119, the FDA will: use voluntary, consensus-based standards development processes in place of government unique standards unless such standards are inconsistent with law or otherwise impractical; advocate to align these standards with existing health information technology initiatives, laws, regulations, and mandates; and promote coordination with other standards currently in use. The projects selected under this funding opportunity must adhere to these principles.</Description>

        <Description>The New York Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) agency is announcing their State Conservation Innovative Grant (CIG). The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches into NRCS technical manuals and guides or to the private sector. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology in order to increase adoption with an emphasis on opportunities to scale proven, emerging conservation strategies. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. For the 2015 CIG program NY anticipate funding up to $150,000. NRCS will accept proposals under this notice for single or multiyear projects, not to exceed three years, submitted by eligible entities from New York. Eligible entities include Indian Tribes, State and local units of government, non-governmental organizations, and individuals.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: Recreational shooting, also known as target shooting, involves public land users who shoot firearms for pleasure. Shooting at targets on public lands is a growing recreational activity. Safety around recreational shooting areas needs improvement to protect non-shooters. Resource damage is prevalent and increasing. Education about outdoor ethics is not reaching the people who need it. Technology to make recreational shooting more sustainable is not commonly known to shooters or is simply not available. The recreational shooting community has not been organized to complete an education campaign. b. Objectives: The recipient, having the ability to work with others, such as interest groups, organizations, counties, state agencies, private property owners and business interests, should be capable of leading efforts to ensure sustainability of the public&amp;apos;s demands and interest for enjoying responsible recreational shooting on public lands. Leadership will consist of working toward and assisting others in the care of areas, outreach for better safety and outdoor ethics and monitoring of trends in both location and effects of recreational shooting. Specific project areas include Table Mesa Recreation Area and Morgan City Wash, north of Phoenix and Miller Road, west of Phoenix. One major activity will be to engage in development of best management practices for outreach methods to effectively reach recreational shooters both on and off public lands surrounding the Phoenix area. These practices and techniques, which can be used to train others, would require support by industry and responsible use advocates. The recipient must have the capability of working with individuals, advocates and equipment manufacturers to develop or modify technology to make recreational shooting more sustainable. Recipient will be encouraged to engage in activities to provide area care, improve safety and environmental ethics and maintain the availability of existing shooting areas for the protection of shooting activities and non-shooting recreation opportunities. Working with others, the recipient will be encouraged to develop and disseminate education messages to recreational shooters, develop maintenance practices which can be applied to public land areas and provide assistance for the care of areas. The recipient should be prepared to work with others to propose and or/study techniques to enhance capability of the specialized recreational shooting support equipment in the marketplace. </Description>

        <Description>Through the Bank Enterprise Award Program (BEA Program), the U.S. Department of the Treasury&amp;#8217;s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) supports FDIC-insured financial institutions around the country that are dedicated to financing and supporting community and economic development activities. The BEA Program complements the community development activities of insured depository institutions (i.e., banks and thrifts) by providing monetary awards for increasing investments in CDFIs and for increasing qualified lending, investment, and service activities within economically distressed communities. Providing BEA Program awards for increasing community development activities leverages the CDFI Fund&amp;#8217;s dollars and puts more capital to work in distressed communities throughout the nation.</Description>

        <Description>Through its rule of law programming and assistance activities, INL promotes the development of judges in its partner countries. In particular, the development of foreign female judges is of great importance to INL. To further support the development and professionalization of foreign female judges, the U.S. Department of State has allocated up to $75,000 USD to fund scholarships so that at least 18 female judges from around the world can attend the 36th Annual Conference of the National Association of Women Judges (NAWJ) from October 7 to October 11, 2015 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The 2015 NAWJ Annual Conference provides an opportunity to the attending female foreign judges to discuss trends and challenges in criminal justice reform as well as network with likeminded female colleagues. The applicant will facilitate the participation of at least 18 foreign female judges in NAWJ&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s 2015 Annual Conference by organizing and paying for conference registration fees, international travel, lodging for five (5) nights, and other incidentals for at least 18 foreign female judges. Lodging, meals, and incidentals expenses must be in accordance with the established per diem rate set by the General Services Administration (GSA). The foreign female judges will be nominated by U.S. Embassies and/or INL program officers and the names submitted to INL by August 1, 2015. Review of the applications will take place from August 3-14, 2015 by a committee with representatives from INL and NAWJ. INL will inform the grantee of the names of the selected judges by August 17, 2015. The grantee will notify those judges by August 21, 2015, at the latest. The grantee will then coordinate travel arrangements with the selected judges beginning August 21, 2015 through the end of the conference, October 11, 2015.

The grantee will provide INL with copies of each of those confirmations. The grantee will also build professional networks among foreign and domestic female judges by providing mentorship and support to the foreign female judges during the 2015 NAWJ Annual Conference. The grantee will work with NAWJ to ensure that NAWJ assigns a mentor to each judge sponsored by this grant. The grantee will facilitate communication between NAWJ, the mentor, and the mentee. The purpose of the judicial mentoring program is to help international judges better understand the inner workings of the American judiciary, Additionally, the grantee will undertake follow-up activities to determine the multiplier effect on the foreign female judges attending the 2015 NAWJ Annual Conference. The grantee, with assistance from NAWJ, will provide a follow-up questionnaire to be filled out by each judge sponsored under this grant to gather information as to their experiences at the conference and their follow-on actions.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Administrator from providing flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3.  These floodplain management measures can take the form of floodplain management ordinances, building codes, or zoning provisions.  The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with and provide any necessary technical assistance to States and communities participating in the NFIP.

Under CFR 60.25, Governors have exercised their prerogative of designating a &amp;quot;State Coordinating Agency&amp;quot; that is best able to carry out the flood loss reduction activities of the NFIP. State officials can be particularly effective in delivering these services to communities because of their knowledge, skills and familiarity of floodplain management with State governing authorities and how these interrelate with local floodplain management ordinances, as well as their knowledge of related State programs.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>It is estimated that India has over 123 million smartphone users, and the Indian smartphone market is the fastest growing in the Asia-Pacific region. By 2016, there will be more smartphones in use in India than the United States. The smartphone quickly is becoming one of the most important ways to connect with Indian audiences, particularly urban youth, media, business leaders, and government officials. As mobile phones become more commonplace, more users will turn to mobile applications for information, connecting with other online users, and mobilizing around issue areas. While many people use mobile applications to access social media platforms or to collect news and financial information, mobile applications also can play an important role to improve communities. Since Mumbai is one of India&amp;#8217;s most wired cities, U.S. Consulate General Mumbai proposes a western India (Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh) mobile app-making challenge that will source mobile apps in designated issues areas. The winners of the app-making challenge will receive funding to fully develop their apps, make them available for free download, and service the apps for one year. The challenge will serve as a competitive tender for the best mobile app proposals based on substance and design concepts. (Please refer full announcement for details). </Description>

        <Description>The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-265) amended Section 22 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to establish a requirement that State agencies conduct additional administrative reviews of selected Local Educational Agencies (LEAs). It also amended Section 7 of the Child Nutrition Act to provide annual funding for States to be used for oversight and training of LEAs. Both of these requirements are focused on LEAs that have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for, administrative error. To assist State agencies in achieving this requirement, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has up to $4 million available in fiscal year (FY) 2015 to fund Administrative Reviews and Training (ART) Grants for oversight and training. The ART grant funds will be available on a competitive basis only to the 57 State agencies that administer the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP), and are for the purpose of identifying, reviewing, monitoring and training LEAs that have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for, administrative error. FNS is offering two types of ART Grants: Planning and Implementation. States may apply for either a Planning grant or an Implementation grant, as described within this Request for Applications (RFA), but not both in a given RFA solicitation. The FY 2015 ART Grant award process involves two types of awards: &amp;#8226; ART Planning Grants for awards up to $75,000, with grant periods of up to one year; and &amp;#8226; ART Implementation Grants for awards up to $1,500,000, with grant periods of one to three years. State agencies may apply for either type of grant (i.e., Planning or Implementation), but not both in a given RFA solicitation. Only one grant application will be accepted from a State agency in response to this solicitation.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to develop and implement programs designed to increase adult immunization rates, using the principles of the Standards for Adult Immunization Practice. The Standards are a call to action to healthcare providers to develop new approaches in the way they immunize their adult patients. Applicants will propose a plan that will demonstrate: 1. ASSESSMENT: Increased number of healthcare providers who routinely assess vaccination status of their adult patients at every clinical encounter. 2. RECOMMEND: Stronger immunization recommendations that providers make to their patients. 3. GIVE VACCINE OR REFER OUT: Improvements in immunization systems at point of care (e.g. use of immunization information systems (IIS) or electronic health records changes in patient care procedures.) 4. DOCUMENT: Increased number of providers who document immunizations in IIS Applicants will propose a work plan designed to increase adult immunization rates. The proposed package of activities should combine elements of 1. Quality improvement, 2. Clinician education, and 3. Changes in adult patient care procedures. In the first phase of the project, the Demonstration Phase, the activities will focus on a target group of healthcare providers, and help them to improve their immunization services for a group of real patients. In the second phase of the project, the Dissemination Phase, efforts will focus on implementing effective models among a wider national audience of healthcare providers. The FOA seeks efforts that demonstrate successful models of technical packages, defined by Frieden as &amp;quot;a selected group of related interventions, that together, will achieve and sustain synergistic improvements&amp;quot; in immunization rates.Evidence-based strategies for increasing immunization rates are outlined in The Guide to Community Preventive Services and other reputable science-driven sources. New approaches are needed for selecting, combining and implementing the most effective impact-driven set of activities for increasing adult immunization rates.</Description>

        <Description>One of the core Global Health priorities for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is fostering an AIDS-free generation. One of the objectives in achieving an AIDS-free generation is to prevent more than 12 million new infections globally. The Five-year Sustainable Condom Solutions Project (SCSP) supports this global objective through activities that aim to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV among both key [Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) and Commercial Sex Workers (CSW)] and priority (e.g. clients of CSWs, young women 15-24 years old, truckers, migrants) populations. The project will build national capacity to support sustainable systems; increase the availability and accessibility of condoms; and implement a strategic and tailored approach to increase the demand and use of condoms. It will consider the differing needs of men, women, and key populations. It will take a flexible approach that enables adaptation to key opportunities and barriers to condom use identified through a learning agenda.The overall goal of the project is to reduce the transmission and acquisition of HIV in the highest prevalence regions of C&amp;#244;te d&amp;#8217;Ivoire among vulnerable populations through the consistent and correct use of condoms. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this supplement is to support a state health department to evaluate the implementation of the STEADI fall prevention toolkit within a large healthcare organization with a focus on health outcomes and cost. State health departments funded for the Core VIPP State Falls Prevention Program component are currently implementing fall prevention activities and programs in their state. As part of this work, the states are implementing 3 community-based programs (Tai Chi Moving for Better Balance, Stepping On, and Otago) along with the clinically focused STEADI toolkit&amp;#8212;a set of tools that facilitates older adult fall risk screening, assessment, treatment, and management in primary care settings. To support implementation of STEADI, state health departments have developed partnerships with large health systems. These partnerships have presented the opportunity to conduct a local evaluation of the implementation of STEADI within a large healthcare organization to understand the potential health outcomes and costs associated with STEADI implementation. Specifically, supplemental funding would support a state health department to evaluate a local implementation of STEADI in a large healthcare organization or organizations, including collection of process, health outcomes, and cost data. </Description>

        <Description>Transnational criminal organizations threaten West African stability and mutual security interests. In order to address transnational organized crime (TOC) in West Africa, the U.S. government created the West Africa Cooperative Security Initiative (WACSI). Launched in 2011 and guided by a five-year strategy, WACSI is a multilateral effort to increase global security through close operational and capacity-building coordination in West Africa. As the WACSI initiative has been operationalized in Ghana, INL has identified a key gap in the Ghanaian criminal justice system. State Attorney&amp;#8217;s in the Attorney General&amp;#8217;s office prosecute all cases of murder, rape, treason, piracy, or other offenses that could result in a sentence of death or life imprisonment. However, acting under delegated authority from the Attorney General, the Ghana Police Service is responsible for prosecuting approximately 70 percent of criminal cases throughout the country. Police-prosecutors operate in lower courts (circuit, magistrate, and district courts) where cases range from petty crimes to more serious, prisonable offenses including drug trafficking. Police-prosecutors serve a critical function in Ghana&amp;#8217;s criminal justice system, yet they lack sufficient education and training in their roles and responsibilities to fairly and effectively prosecute criminal cases. Therefore, INL is seeking a qualified partner who can provide tailored training to police-prosecutors in Ghana.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), within the Department of Health and Human Services&amp;apos; (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF), is soliciting applications for Early Head Start University Partnerships: Building the Evidence Base for Infant/Toddler Center-based Programs to support projects that will contribute understanding and knowledge of how Early Head Start and other early care and education programs can promote and improve early child development by supporting parents and teachers. This grant program seeks to stimulate systematic, programmatic, multidisciplinary research to develop and test models of integrated interventions targeted at parents and teachers to promote infant and toddler development across multiple domains including cognitive, language, and social-emotional/behavioral development. It is expected that research studies and programs stimulated by this initiative will contribute scientific data that inform a number of practice and policy issues. Projects must be led by researchers working in partnership with one or more Early Head Start programs. Together, they will identify, implement, and examine integrated promising parenting and teaching intervention models. Integrated interventions are defined as those that target the child&amp;#8217;s parent or primary caregiver in addition to center-based teachers as a means of achieving child development goals. Applicants are encouraged to consider the applicability of their intervention models to other early care and education settings, particularly within the context of Child Care and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership programs. Evaluation activities will include an implementation study as well as a rigorous test of the effectiveness of the intervention in one or more settings. Results of these studies are expected to provide valuable information that can help guide programs in their decisions regarding interventions to promote and improve early child development. Grantees are expected to participate in a consortium of grantees, meeting annually and communicating regularly to share lessons learned, identify opportunities for collaborative analyses, and to develop collective expertise and resources to be shared with the field at large. </Description>

        <CloseDateExplanation>Applications Available: May 5, 2015.        Note: On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately.   One provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name was changed to the Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools. NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer review. We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants.

        <Description>The Department of Labor&amp;#146;s Employment and Training Administration (ETA) announces the availability of approximately $12.1 million from funds made available through the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 DOL appropriation for Training and Employment Services for grants to State Workforce Agencies (SWA) to develop the Workforce Data Quality Initiative (WDQI). ETA expects to award approximately twelve grants of up to $1 million each for a 36 month period of performance. This performance period includes all necessary implementation and start-up activities. Eligible applicants for this solicitation are those SWAs within the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands that were not recipients of a round one WDQI grant (as a result of solicitation SGA/DFA PY 09-10). Grants awarded will provide SWAs the opportunity to develop and use State workforce longitudinal administrative data systems. These State longitudinal data systems will, at a minimum, include information on programs that provide training, employment services, and unemployment insurance. These systems must also be linked longitudinally at the individual level to allow for analysis which will lead to enhanced opportunity for program evaluation and lead to better information for customers and stakeholders of the workforce system. In addition, these systems must connect with the U.S. Department of Education&amp;#146;s (ED) Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) databases. Where such longitudinal systems do not exist or are incipient, WDQI grant assistance may be used to design and develop workforce data systems that are longitudinal and which are designed to link with relevant education data or longitudinal education data systems. WDQI grant assistance may also be used to improve upon and more effectively use existing State longitudinal systems. </Description>

        <Description>The Educational Information and Resources Branch (ECA/A/S/A or EducationUSA) in the Office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces a NOFO for three assistance awards to administer EducationUSA Advising Services in FY 2016, pending the availability of FY 2016 funds. EducationUSA centers work with prospective students in 170 countries to promote U.S. higher education abroad. Advisers at 402 EducationUSA centers provide accurate, comprehensive, and current information about the diversity of U.S. higher education opportunities, guiding students to find their best academic fit. In addition, EducationUSA centers assist U.S. institutions of higher education in their overseas enrollment outreach and development of recruitment strategies and provide information on the complex U.S. higher education system to foreign governments and institutions. With the goal of increasing student mobility between the United States and other countries through EducationUSA advising, this NOFO supports three cooperative agreements: Component A for global EducationUSA services, which encompass strategic planning and communications, REAC management, adviser professional development coordination, U.S. higher education outreach, international college fair logistics, and technology oversight; Component B for EducationUSA advising operations in post-Soviet countries - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine; and Component C for EducationUSA advising in the Middle East and North Africa - Egypt, Gaza, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Tunisia, West Bank, and Yemen. Applicants may submit proposals for one or more of the funding opportunities under this competition.</Description>

        <Description>This Notice of Intent (NOI) is not a request for funding applications. Subject to the availability of funds, the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) Veterans&amp;#8217; Employment and Training Service (VETS) intends to limit competition for five Incarcerated Veterans Transition Program (IVTP) grants of up to $300,000 each for a total of $1,500,000 to current Homeless Veterans&amp;#8217; Reintegration (HVRP) demonstration project grantees for one year. Grantees will be required to provide the following services: Job placement matched to community employment needs and for a sustainable job; job-driven training; each client must undergo an assessment of their employability, risk for homelessness, educational needs, health needs and training needs. Upon completion of the assessment (prior to release for currently incarcerated clients), an individualize plan must be prepared that addresses the risks identified during the assessment and must address an action plan for employment that has as its goal, employment within 90 days; and service providers must have an active program of reaching into institutions to develop relationships with incarcerated veterans. Limitation on the Use of Authorized Services (Last Resort Clause): While the pilot permits the use of funds to be used to help an incarcerated veteran secure housing, funds shall not be used for this purpose if funding for the same purpose if available through any other federal source. While the pilot permits the use of funds to encourage employers to hire an incarcerated veteran (e.g. wage subsidy during training, training programs, offset salary for a short period of time), funds shall not be used for this purpose if funding for the same purpose if available through any other federal source. The recipients of the grant agreement will be among the following HVRP grantees all of whom have experience with IVTP: Swords to Plowshares CA, Arizona Women&amp;#8217;s Education &amp;amp; Employment AZ, Goodwill Industries of The Inland Northwest WA, Volunteers of America Greater Los Angeles Inc. CA, United States Veterans Initiative (Phoenix) AZ, United States Veterans Initiative (Las Vegas) NV, Aletheia House AL, Philadelphia Veteran Multi-Service &amp;amp; Education Center PA, Impact Services Corporation PA, Way Station, Inc. MD, The Workplace, Inc. CT, United Veterans of America, Inc. dba Soldier on MA, Goodwill Industries of Houston TX, Aspen Diversified Industries Services, Inc. CO, Center for Veterans Issues, Ltd. WI, Eaglevision Ministries, Inc. MI. The activity to be funded is essential to the satisfactory completion of an activity presently funded by DOL, wherein competition would result in significant or real expenses in excess of any potential savings to the Government and duplication of work at additional cost to the Government. This NOI does not include an FOA or any attachments. It only constitutes a notice of USDOL&amp;#8217;s intent to publish an FOA at a later date. </Description>

        <Description>In FY 2013, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) released the 2011-2012 findings from the most recent surveys of jail and prison inmates about incidences of sexual victimization. Based on this information, 4.0 percent of state and federal prison inmates, and 3.2 percent of jail inmates within the United States, reported experiencing one or more incidents of sexual victimization by another inmate or facility staff in the previous 12 months or since admission to the facility. In juvenile facilities, the numbers are even more troubling. An estimated 9.5 percent of adjudicated youth in state juvenile facilities and state contract facilities (representing 1,720 youth nationwide) reported experiencing one or more incidents of sexual victimization by another youth or staff in the previous 12 months or since admission, if less than 12 months. On June 20, 2012, DOJ published the Notice of Final Rule creating national standards as required by the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). The standards apply to adult prisons and jails, juvenile confinement facilities, police lockups, and community confinement facilities. The standards, which took effect on August 20, 2012, seek to prevent sexual abuse and to reduce the harm that it causes. The standards are grouped into 11 categories: prevention planning; responsive planning; training and education; screening for risk of sexual victimization and abusiveness; reporting; official response following an inmate report; investigations; discipline; medical and mental care; data collection and review; and audits. Compliance with the overall PREA standards requires compliance with the audit standards (i.e., &amp;#167; 115.93, &amp;#167;115.193, &amp;#167;115.293, &amp;#167;115.393, and &amp;#167;&amp;#167;115.401-405). Under the audit standards, one-third of each facility type operated by an agency, or by a private organization on behalf of the agency, must be audited within each year of a 3-year audit cycle. The first audit cycle began on August 20, 2013. In FY 2010, BJA established, via a competitively awarded cooperative agreement, the National PREA Resource Center (PRC) to support PREA implementation efforts nationwide as outlined in the Notice of Final Rule. The PRC reflects a unique collaborative partnership among a wide array of national, state, and local stakeholder organizations that represent adult prisons, jails, and lockups; juvenile corrections; community corrections; tribal confinement facilities; and inmate, youth, and victim advocacy groups. For more information about the PRC, go to www.prearesourcecenter.org.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Arizona State Office is implementing integrated multiple resource restoration across public and private landscapes that involves multiple partners and stakeholders. The BLM proposes awarding a federal financial assistance agreement to a non-federal recipient in order to accomplish the public purpose of this effort. BLM has begun the landscape restoration planning process through multiple initiatives such as Rapid Ecoregional Assessments (REAs) and work with collaborators such as the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative (DLCC). This initiative is an aggressive partnership to begin the restoration process on our state&amp;apos;s grasslands, woodlands and riparian areas to a healthy and productive condition. In many areas, historic overuse of the land has transformed fragile desert grasslands and open woodlands into areas of little biodiversity dominated by creosote and mesquite, and once diverse streamside vegetation into barren monocultures of salt cedar. These gradual changes have damaged the land&amp;apos;s biological productivity, resulting in less wildlife, degraded water quality and decreased supplies of groundwater. This effort will focus on landscape-scale restoration efforts on federal, state, Tribal and private lands, targeting invasive and exotic brush species, including mesquite, juniper, creosote, cheatgrass, sagebrush, noxious weeds and salt cedar. b. Objectives: The Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Arizona State Office, proposes to make a competitive federal financial assistance award to a non-federal entity in order to continue the public purposes of reclaiming and restoring wildlife habitat and impaired watersheds in Arizona, developing range improvement projects on public, private, Tribal and state lands in Arizona, and to monitor all reclamation and restoration to ensure that they are meeting our desired goals. Funding shall be used to develop and implement projects that foster consultation and cooperation among stakeholders, interested parties, and the public and to organize, finalize, and implement projects to carry out the public purposes and project objectives spelled out in this announcement and the cooperative agreement award document. Many of the lands that will benefit by the projects funded through the cooperative agreement contain habitat for several Federally listed and candidate species as well as habitat for numerous big game and migratory bird species. All of the projects necessarily involve overlapping ownership boundaries on allotments along with surface management issues and invasive shrub encroachment within native grasslands or other grazing issues or a combination of such factors. The Recipient chosen through this competitive award process is in a unique position to garner the support and cooperation of the public and other partners for the public purposes being served and in project specific endeavors. This includes, enlisting the support of members of the public from the areas impacted, stakeholders, affected landowners, governmental entities, and public land permittees to to carry out the specific projects improvement projects that overlap ownership boundaries. The Recipient will receive funding from the Bureau of Land Management for its public outreach, partnership coordination, and project development activities in addition to receiving pass-through project-specific funding to be expended for the approved reclamation and restoration projects that overlap ownership boundaries. The lands that will benefit have been previously disturbed by activities associated with development that have no record of responsible parties, are lands that are within habitat for Federal Special Status Species, and/or are lands that have been impacted by historical grazing practices that altered the natural vegetation communities. </Description>

        <Description>The objective of the Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP) is to expand the availability of dementia capable support services for persons with Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), their families and their caregivers. The grantees receive targeted technical assistance provided by the National Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s and Dementia Resource Center. This goal will be acheived by: 1) enhancing the ability of state systems and programs to embed dementia-capability in their service networks; and 2) by delivering supportive services using proven evidence-based or innovative, evidence-informed models developed in the Aging Network.</Description>

        <Description>The community college initiative is an important step to intensify U.S.-India cooperation in higher education. However, it is a new concept in India and any Indian parents are not sure what the value of a vocational degree is. American community colleges provide one of the most effective means for achieving upward mobility in the United States. We would like to promote the idea of community colleges as one potential solution to India&amp;#8217;s skill development challenge. We propose to hold a photographic exhibition in support of the community college model, which will tour spaces around India to increase knowledge and highlight success stories of the American model. A photo exhibition featuring community colleges can also help dispel any perceptions that community colleges are only for underprivileged communities. (Please refer full announcement for details). </Description>

        <Description>The NFRP Clinical Trial Award supports research with the potential to have a major impact on the treatment or management of NF. Clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologics), devices, clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches and technologies. Proposed projects may range from small proof-of-concept (i.e., pilot, first in human, or Phase 0) trials to demonstrate feasibility or inform the design of more advanced trials, through large-scale trials to determine efficacy in relevant patient populations. Funding from this award mechanism must support a clinical trial and may not be used for preclinical research studies. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking funding for a preclinical research project should consider one of the other award mechanisms/funding opportunities being offered by FY15 NFRP. The term &amp;#8220;human subjects&amp;#8221; is used in this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity to refer to individuals who will be recruited for or who will participate in the proposed clinical trial. For more information, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm. For Pilot trials, inclusion of scientific rationale and/or preliminary data relevant to the proposed pilot clinical trial is required. For Phase I or II trials, both scientific rationale and preliminary data relevant to the proposed clinical trial are required.</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is seeking proposals for assistance in developing, designing, and administering the Law Enforcement Core Statistics Program (LECS). In the past, the goal of the program was to provide accurate and timely national statistics about the personnel, operations, policies, and procedures of federal, state, county, and local law enforcement agencies (LEAs) in the United States. However, in this program, BJS is seeking to reshape the content and focus toward measuring agency performance. This shift will represent part of BJS&amp;#8217;s effort to respond to the challenge posed by the National Research Council&amp;#8217;s Committee on National Statistics, which commented: BJS&amp;#8217;s work in law enforcement is hindered by a sharp and overly restrictive focus on management and administrative issues; its analysis of law enforcement generally lacks direct connection to data on crime, much less providing the basis for assessing the quality and effectiveness of police programs. It is also in the area of law enforcement, with the proliferation of numerous special agency censuses and little semblance of a fixed schedule or interconnectedness of series, where the need for refining the conceptual framework for multiple data collections is most evident. The LECS will incorporate three of BJS&amp;#8217;s core law enforcement programs: the Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey, the Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA), and the Census of Federal Law Enforcement Officers (FLEO). The development and implementation of these collections will be guided by a framework that integrates concepts of police performance into an establishment survey context. As part of the LECS program, this 51-month project includes (1) fielding the LEMAS in 2016, (2) fielding a LEMAS supplement in 2017 on LEAs&amp;#8217; use of body-worn cameras, (3) fielding the CSLLEA and the FLEO in 2018, (4) developing and testing a set of LEMAS supplemental survey instruments, and (5) disseminating findings to the public through research reports and a BJS web-based analytic data tool. </Description>

        <Description>The NFRP Exploration - Hypothesis Development Award supports the initial exploration of innovative, high-risk, high-gain, and potentially groundbreaking concepts in NF research. Studies supported by this award mechanism are expected to lay the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and study design. The presentation of preliminary and/or published data is encouraged, but not required. The proposed research project should be innovative. Innovative research may introduce a novel paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, examine existing problems from novel perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative and is not consistent with the intent of this award mechanism. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to clearly and explicitly articulate how the proposed research project is innovative in the field of NF.</Description>

        <Description>The objective of this project is to develop habitat selection models for wading birds in the coastal area of southern Florida. The focal species for this work is the Little Blue Heron with target areas for model development in Florida Bay and Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge complex (GWHR). In the 1970s these areas were known to have large wading bird populations, but these populations have since declined. Several factors probably include this decline such as reduction in freshwater flow and nutrient runoff. Although Everglades restoration should restore hydrologic flow of clean water, including appropriate freshwater runoff at the coasts, these habitats face the additional threat of rising sea levels. Changes in water depths and foraging habitat conditions can negatively impact wading birds because of their leg length constraint. Little Blue Herons are likely to be potentially susceptible to such foraging habitat conditions because of their narrow habitat selection preferences.The recipient will provide the resources to conduct habitat selection modeling, including data gathering through field work. The recipient should select study sites appropriate to answer questions of habitat selection for the Little Blue Heron. </Description>

Archaeological excavations, large scale sample surveys, and contemporary tribal interviews with elders, historical document reviews, and ambitious regional syntheses of the results. These investigations were cutting edge and resulted in a period of exceptionally significant advancement of scientific knowledge. This period of progressive research for heritage resources guided BLM planning within the multiple use mission mandates and provided the foundation for comprehensive land management prescriptions of cultural resources. The work also stimulated general archaeological scientific study by encouraging an entire generation of new archaeologists to conduct research in a wide manner of new approaches on BLM land and elsewhere.</Description>

        <Description>GeoPRISMS (Geodynamic Processes at Rifting and Subducting Margins) is the successor to the MARGINS Program. GeoPRISMS will investigate the coupled geodynamics, earth surface processes, and climate interactions that build and modify continental margins over a wide range of timescales. These interactions cross the shoreline and have applications to margin evolution and dynamics, construction of stratigraphic architecture, accumulation of economic resources, and associated geologic hazards and environmental management. The GeoPRISMS Program includes two broadly integrated science initiatives (Subduction Cycles and Deformation and Rift Initiation and Evolution), linked by five overarching scientific topics and themes, where transformative advances are likely to occur in the next decade, and where a focused scientific program could be most effective. These overarching science topics include 1) Origin and evolution of continental crust; 2) Fluids, magmas and their interactions; 3) Climate-surface-tectonics feedbacks; 3) Geochemical cycles; and 5) Plate boundary deformation and geodynamics. Each of the initiatives has identified primary sites for focused investigations, as well as thematic studies that will complement primary site studiesFurther information and a science plan for the program detailing each initiative and the associated thematic studies, as well as the overarching themes, can be found on the GeoPRISMS website at http://www.geoprisms.org/. The expected level of funding will be approximately $5 million per year for the foreseeable future.</Description>

        <Description>The NFRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award supports highly rigorous, high-impact research projects that have the potential to make an important contribution to NF research and/or patient care. Research projects may focus on any phase of research, excluding clinical trials. The rationale for a research idea may be derived from laboratory discovery, population-based studies, a clinician&amp;#8217;s firsthand knowledge of patients, or anecdotal data. Applications must include preliminary and/or published data that is relevant to NF and the proposed research project. Preclinical Research: All projects should adhere to a core set of standards for rigorous study design and reporting to maximize the reproducibility and translational potential of preclinical research. The standards are described in Landis, S.C., et al. A call for transparent reporting to optimize the predictive value of preclinical research, Nature 2012, 490:187-191 (www.nature.com/nature/journal/v490/n7419/full/nature11556.html). While these standards are written for preclinical studies, the basic principles of randomization, blinding, sample-size estimation, and data handling derive from well-established best practices in research and should be applied. Projects that include research on animal models are required to submit Attachment 8, Animal Research Plan, as part of the application package to describe how these standards will be addressed. Applicants should consult the ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments) guidelines to ensure relevant aspects of rigorous animal research are adequately planned for and, ultimately, reported.

        <Description>Background: The Canyon County, BLM Moab Field Office over the past 5 years has been in partnership with Rim to Rim Restoration. This cooperative effort has provided the Canyon Country District in Southeast Utah with invasive species and noxious weed control on public lands throughout Southeast Utah and has assisted to the BLM Moab Field Office with riparian and public land vegetative restoration projects. Rim to Rim Restoration in cooperation with the BLM Moab Field Office has designed and implemented a variety of restoration projects that have included the use of herbicide application, tree planting, seeding, irrigation installation and vegetation treatments. Recently the BLM Moab Field Office has begun a coordinated effort with Rim to Rim Restoration to develop a native plant propagation material center (Mayberry Plant Reserve) to facilitate local native plant restoration and augmentation efforts and needs.Objectives: 1. The objective of this project is to continue the work that has been accomplished in southeast Utah for the BLM, Canyon Country District with invasive species removal, riparian and upland restoration treatments and projects, wildlife habitat improvement projects involving vegetative planting, native plant development, initial maintenance of restoration areas and monitoring associated activities. The recipient would work with local BLM Resource Specialists to identify needs, develop a work/implementation plan, lead or facilitate project implementation and monitoring treatment effectiveness throughout identified areas in the Canyon Country District on an annual basis. The recipient may be asked to provide supplies and materials used in restoration activities including, but not limited to: herbicides, shrub or tree stock to include native, regionally native, non-native and locally sourced stock, irrigation supplies and other resources needed to successfully meet BLM restoration objectives. The recipient would also be asked to continue current efforts to develop a Moab based native plant material propagation center that would facilitate the collection and establishment of seeds and/or plants and/or utilizing seeds/plants identified in coordination with the BLM Moab Field Office and facilitate studies for successful propagation and development of this native seed and plant materials source.Public Benefit: This project would help support and foster awareness and motivation for ecological restoration and responsibility in the Moab area through the reestablishment of native vegetation for the benefit of wildlife, recreation and a sustainable watershed. The implementation of this project would provide support and organization for collaborative projects that include local youth, volunteers, service organizations, and businesses by implementing invasive species control, native riparian restoration work on BLM administered lands. This project provides direct benefits to the public in assisting restoration of riparian and wildlife habitats on a watershed basis, with downstream benefits realized to all landowners. The project indirectly benefits the BLM through implementation of improved restoration techniques; restoration of public lands and sensitive resources in compliance with environmental laws and guidance; and in providing for restoration services which are rare and difficult to obtain within the region.</Description>

        <Description>The intent of the NFRP New Investigator Award is to support the continued development of promising independent investigators and/or the transition of established investigators from other research fields into a career in the field of NF research. Prior experience in NF research is not required. However, Principal Investigators (PIs) with a limited background in NF research are strongly encouraged to have a collaborator who is experienced in the NF field. Research projects may focus on any phase of research, excluding clinical trials. Applications must include preliminary and/or published data that is relevant to NF and the proposed research project. Preclinical Research: All projects should adhere to a core set of standards for rigorous study design and reporting to maximize the reproducibility and translational potential of preclinical research. The standards are described in Landis, S.C., et al. A call for transparent reporting to optimize the predictive value of preclinical research, Nature 2012, 490:187-191 (www.nature.com/nature/journal/v490/n7419/full/nature11556.html). While these standards are written for preclinical studies, the basic principles of randomization, blinding, sample-size estimation, and data handling derive from well-established best practices in research and should be applied. For projects involving animal studies, applicants should consult the ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments) guidelines to ensure relevant aspects of rigorous animal research are adequately planned for and, ultimately, reported. The ARRIVE guidelines can be found at http://www.nc3rs.org.uk/page.asp?id=1357.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this assistance agreement is for inventory, protection, and management of rock art sites in the northwestern Great Basin and adjacent areas. Rock art sites are cultural sites that contain petroglyphs and/or pictographs. In the northwestern Great Basin, these sites can range from small sites to extremely large, complex sites that are difficult and time-consuming to record. Consequently, past documentation of these large rock art sites is typically incomplete and unsuitable for the proper management of the site. In addition, these fragile sites are in danger of intentional or unintentional vandalism by the public. Public outreach and education has proven an effective way to protect these important sites.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Child Poverty Telehealth Network Grant Program (RCP-TNGP). The RCP-TNGP is a three-year pilot program to support established telehealth networks to develop innovative ways to address the unique health care challenges faced by children living in impoverished rural areas. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines poverty as having an income below a federally determined poverty threshold. Recent data from USDA indicates higher poverty rates in rural areas than in urban areas. The rural area(s) to be served will be identified by the applicant, and should be supported by the use of county and sub-county level data to describe the poverty levels in their target area and the unmet needs of children to be served. Many of the largest drivers of health care costs fall outside the clinical care environment.[1] These non-medical drivers have costly implications for health care utilization: 500,000 hospitalizations would be averted annually if the rate of preventable hospitalizations were the same for residents of low-income neighborhoods as for those of high-income neighborhoods,[2] and hospital readmission rates are more closely related to community characteristics than to hospital characteristics.[3] For the purposes of this FOA, applicant networks should include human/social service providers to the extent that the provision of those services can be tied directly back to improving the health care status of low-income rural children served via telehealth and distance learning technology. For the purpose of this funding, human/social services are defined as early childhood development, food and nutrition support and education, economic support programs related to the family of the children served including awareness and counseling and or referral related to available job training and economic support, housing and other social service supports. In providing services beyond the clinical setting, applicants will be required to demonstrate how the provision of information and referral for those human/social services through the telehealth network will ultimately benefit the health of children served through this grant funding. The goal of the RCP-TNGP is to demonstrate how telehealth networks can expand access to, coordinate and improve the quality of health care services for children living in impoverished rural areas and in particular how such networks can be enhanced through the integration of social and human service organizations.

        <Description>The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) at the U.S. Embassy-Tbilisi is inviting project proposals from public international organizations in Georgia with the objective of reducing drug demand among vulnerable communities in Georgia, to include young adults. INL will provide funding to a public international organization to undertake a 12-month program to raise public awareness among young Georgians and other vulnerable groups about the dangers of drug use. Georgian youth and youth in minority communities, in particular, are especially at risk for drug abuse. As this project builds upon previous successful drug demand awareness projects, INL envisions this project to include an innovative public information campaign with quantifiable results. With a view toward sustainability and coordination with the Georgian Government&amp;#8217;s current efforts in this field, INL would like the project proposals to outline how the program would develop a direct linkage to the work being done under the with the Government of Georgia&amp;#8217;s existing &amp;#8220;Interagency Coordinating Council for Combating Drug Abuse.&amp;#8221; This project is subject to the availability of funding, up to $70,000, and each proposal must be submitted in English and include proposed measures of success. Award of the project will be based on a review of proposals to be received from public international organizations. All proposals must include a narrative of actions to be undertaken and a budget worksheet which should document the following: Administrative costs (including overhead charges if applicable), personnel costs (salaries, benefits and raises), office rental, office supplies, equipment costs (including laptops, other electronics), travel costs (airfare, lodging, other travel costs) and miscellaneous costs; however, no construction or renovation costs will be authorized under this project solicitation. </Description>

        <Description>There is not an application process for this funding opportunity. This is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to USD justification 505DM 2.14B4 to cooperate in the implementation of a captive rearing program for the HED in order to augment the Illinois population of the species. The applicant, USD, is a partner that has developed sampling and captive rearing protocols for the Hine&amp;apos;s emerald dragonfly. In addition, USD has developed and published non-lethal genetic sampling techniques and conservation genetic research on the HED. Competition for the award is not practical as the USD is the only entity with the knowledge, skills, and experience in captive rearing HED and in non-lethal sampling. One award will be provided to the USD through a cooperative agreement. Substantial involvement on the part of the Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the activities to be funded. In particular, the Service will partner with USD to acquire permits from local and state regulatory agencies; attain permission to access private land and collect HED; coordinate captive rearing activities within the Service; and publish and present information on the captive rearing program.</Description>

        <Description>The overarching purpose of the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program is to assist states, cities, counties/parishes, Native American Tribes or other units of local government in undertaking comprehensive programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned rental or owner-occupied housing. This program is administered under HUD&amp;#8217;s Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes (OLHCHH) which is aligned with HUD&amp;#8217;s 2012-2015 Environmental Justice Strategy. The Environmental Justice Strategy addresses environmental and human health issues that disproportionately affect high-risk communities, such as minorities, low-income populations, children, and persons with disabilities. For more information about HUD&amp;#8217;s Environmental Justice Strategy, refer to the website at: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=envjustice.pdf. The Healthy Homes Supplemental funding is being offered to assist those units eligible for use of lead funds to utilize the Healthy Homes Rating System for assessing, prioritizing and remediating other health and safety issues within those eligible units. Applicants receiving an award will accomplish the following objectives: Maximize both the number of children less than six years of age protected from lead poisoning and the number of housing units where lead hazards are controlled; Target lead hazard control efforts in housing in which children are at greatest risk of lead poisoning, especially children in low-income and minority families, in order to reduce elevated blood lead levels in children less than six years of age; Promote cost-effective lead hazard control methods and approaches that can be replicated, maintained, and sustained; Build local capacity to safely and effectively address lead hazards during lead hazard control and renovation, remodeling, and maintenance activities by integrating lead-safe work practices; Promote integration of this grant program with other local programs that address housing related health and safety hazards; Affirmatively further fair housing. Note that beyond being an &amp;#8220;objective&amp;#8221; of this NOFA, affirmatively furthering fair housing is a civil rights related program requirement. Please refer to FY2015 Section III.C.3.b of the 2015 General Section and Sections V.A.3.a(1) and V.A.3.e(3) of this NOFA for additional guidance on this requirement; Develop a comprehensive community-based approach to address lead hazards in housing by mobilizing public and private sector resources including grassroots community-based non-profit and faith-based organizations; Promote collaboration, data sharing, and targeting between health and housing departments; Establish a system or process that will facilitate lead-safe units to be affirmatively marketed, and priority given, to families with young children; To the greatest extent feasible, ensure job training, employment, contracting, and other economic opportunities generated by this grant will be directed to low- and very-low income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing, and to business concerns that provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons in the area in which the project is located. For more information, see 24 CFR Part 135 and Section III.C.3 of the FY 2015 General Section; and Further environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, disability, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Furthermore, recipients under this NOFA are subject to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (&amp;#8220;Section 504&amp;#8221;) and its implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 8, and they are subject to Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as applicable. Each of these prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. </Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: BLM and Arizona Game &amp;amp; Fish Department (AGFD) established the first cooperative agreement in 2010 to help implement conservation actions to address aquatic invasive species concerns on the lower Colorado River. There is a need to address current and new threats from a variety of aquatic invasive species extend well beyond the initial effort of the original agreements. Lake Havasu and the Lower Colorado River was the initial focus and will still be a major part projects implemented. However, additional effort may be considered outside of the Lower Colorado River. BLM long term priorities for the Fishery Program support local involvement and support of implementation of efforts identified by the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)Task Force. This included providing funding to select field offices. These funds will be used to assist local field office with implementation of conservation actions that address aquactic invasive species. Current effort identified by the AIS task force includes getting personal on the ground implementing public outreach and assisting with de contamination efforts.In additions, this agreement will increase the effectiveness of outreach and educations efforts that focus on the following areas: a) Limiting the spread of invasive mussels through containment, especially by inspection b) Educating the public and BLM operators about decontamination of watercraft moving from invaded water bodies to jurisdictions currently free of dreissenid mussels c) Limiting the spread of invasive mussels through containment by increasing compliance with state laws. b. Objectives: The objective of this agreement is to assist the AGFD and the AIS task force with implementing conservations action aim at educating the public and reduce the risk of spread of AIS beyond current location. Increasing public awareness of AIS law and best management practices by providing: a) Information distribution and personal assistance to BLM boating customers and concessioners about measure to reduce the threat spread. b) Provide youth involvement and awareness of AIS, what they can do to help, and the importance of a healthy, productive aquatic environment to their future. c) Continued survey of boaters on Lake Havasu and adjoining Lower Colorado River waters regarding angler satisfaction and AIS issues. d) Continued support and coordination with Lower Colorado River stakeholders to find cooperative solutions to AIS regulation, and sustained aquatic benefits to adjoining communities </Description>

        <Description>The Integrated Food Defense &amp;amp; Emergency Response Cooperative Agreement Program (IFD&amp;amp;ER CAP) grant awards are designed to generate food defense tools and resources that are easily replicated and can complement, aid in the development of, and/or improve State, local, Tribal and territorial (SLTT) food defense programs through unique, innovative, and reproducible projects . The known overlap between food safety (unintentional contamination) and food defense (intentional contamination) is extensive. And the pools of resources available are vast and sometimes difficult to locate and implement. As the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) recognizes the evolution of the relationship between food safety and food defense, it is critical that these programs be integrated to the maximum extent possible in order to ensure the most efficient use of resources, as well as to optimize responses to incidents and events. </Description>

        <Description>The EHDA supports the initial exploration of innovative, high-risk, high-gain, and potentially groundbreaking concepts in the TSC research field. The studies supported by this award mechanism are expected to lay the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and study design. The presentation of preliminary and/or published data is encouraged, but not required. The proposed research project should be innovative. Innovative research may introduce a novel paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from novel perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative and is not consistent with the intent of this award mechanism.

        <Description>The PCTA mechanism supports exploratory studies involving limited human exposure that produce diagnostic or therapeutic information, safety, and tolerability studies and studies to determine the mechanism of action. These studies should be aimed at obtaining preliminary data leading to the development of interventions, as well as clinical biomarkers, with the potential to improve TSC outcomes. Preclinical studies will not be supported by this mechanism. Examples of acceptable studies include but are not limited to the following: &amp;#8226; Identification of an appropriate population for the proposed study. &amp;#8226; Identification of the dosage, duration, and/or delivery strategy of an intervention. &amp;#8226; Evaluation of the feasibility of the intervention in TSC. &amp;#8226; Development of clinical biomarkers or outcome measures for future clinical trials. &amp;#8226; Evaluation of efficacy and safety. If the clinical trial involves the use of a drug that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the proposed investigational use, then an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA that meets all requirements under the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 312 (21 CFR 312) must be submitted to the FDA prior to the application submission deadline. If the investigational product is a device, evidence that an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application that meets all requirements under 21 CFR 812 has been submitted to the FDA prior to the application submission deadline, or that the device is exempt from an IDE, is required. Documentation of approval or exemption of the IND or IDE prior to programmatic review must be obtained and submitted to the CDMRP Help Desk (help@eBRAP.org), otherwise the Government reserves the right to withdraw the application</Description>

        <Description>The IDA promotes new ideas that are in the early stages of development and have the potential to yield high-impact findings and new avenues of investigation. This award mechanism supports conceptually innovative, high-risk/potentially high-reward research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries in TSC research and/or improvements in patient care. Research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. The following are important aspects of the Idea Development Award: 1. Innovation: Innovative research may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities that may include high-risk/potentially high-gain approaches to TSC research. Research that is merely an incremental advance (the next logical step) is not considered innovative. 2. Impact: Applications should articulate both the short- and long-term impact of the proposed research. High-impact research will, if successful, significantly advance TSC research and/or patient care. 3. Preliminary Data: Unpublished results from the laboratory of the Principal Investigator (PI) or collaborators named on this application, and/or data from the published literature that are relevant to TSC and the proposed research project, should be included. All projects should adhere to a core set of standards for rigorous study design and reporting to maximize the reproducibility and translational potential of preclinical research. The standards are described in Landis, S.C., et al. A call for transparent reporting to optimize the predictive value of preclinical research, Nature 2012, 490:187-191 (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/ v490/n7419/full/nature11556.html). While these standards are written for preclinical studies, the basic principles of randomization, blinding, sample-size estimation, and data handling derive from well-established best practices in clinical studies. Projects that include research on animal models are required to submit Attachment X, Animal Research Plan, as part of the application package to describe how these standards will be addressed. Applicants should consult the ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments) guidelines to ensure relevant aspects of rigorous animal research are adequately planned for and, ultimately, reported. The ARRIVE guidelines can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/__data/promis_misc/ 622936arrive_guidelines.pdf.</Description>

        <Description>The overarching purpose of the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program is to assist states, cities, counties/parishes, Native American Tribes or other units of local government in undertaking comprehensive programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned rental or owner-occupied housing. This program is administered under HUD&amp;#8217;s Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes (OLHCHH) which is aligned with HUD&amp;#8217;s 2012-2015 Environmental Justice Strategy. The Environmental Justice Strategy addresses environmental and human health issues that disproportionately affect high-risk communities, such as minorities, low-income populations, children, and persons with disabilities. For more information about HUD&amp;#8217;s Environmental Justice Strategy, refer to the website at: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=envjustice.pdf.The Healthy Homes Supplemental funding is being offered to assist those units eligible for use of lead funds to utilize the Healthy Homes Rating System for assessing, prioritizing and remediating other health and safety issues within those eligible units.Applicants receiving an award will accomplish the following objectives:Maximize both the number of children less than six years of age protected from lead poisoning and the number of housing units where lead hazards are controlled;Target lead hazard control efforts in housing in which children are at greatest risk of lead poisoning, especially children in low-income and minority families, in order to reduce elevated blood lead levels in children less than six years of age;Promote cost-effective lead hazard control methods and approaches that can be replicated, maintained, and sustained;Build local capacity to safely and effectively address lead hazards during lead hazard control and renovation, remodeling, and maintenance activities by integrating lead-safe work practices;Promote integration of this grant program with other local programs that address housing related health and safety hazards;Affirmatively further fair housing. Note that beyond being an &amp;#8220;objective&amp;#8221; of this NOFA, affirmatively furthering fair housing is a civil rights related program requirement. Please refer to FY2015 Section III.C.3.b of the 2015 General Section and Sections V.A.3.a(1) and V.A.3.e(3) of this NOFA for additional guidance on this requirement;Develop a comprehensive community-based approach to address lead hazards in housing by mobilizing public and private sector resources including grassroots community-based non-profit and faith-based organizations;Promote collaboration, data sharing, and targeting between health and housing departments;Establish a system or process that will facilitate lead-safe units to be affirmatively marketed, and priority given, to families with young children;To the greatest extent feasible, ensure job training, employment, contracting, and other economic opportunities generated by this grant will be directed to low- and very-low income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing, and to business concerns that provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons in the area in which the project is located. For more information, see 24 CFR Part 135 and Section III.C.3 of the FY 2015 General Section; andFurther environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, disability, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Furthermore, recipients under this NOFA are subject to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (&amp;#8220;Section 504&amp;#8221;) and its implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 8, and they are subject to Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as applicable. Each of these prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. </Description>

        <Description>The Humanities Collections and Reference Resources (HCRR) program supports projects that provide an essential underpinning for scholarship, education, and public programming in the humanities. Thousands of libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country maintain important collections of books and manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art and material culture, and digital objects. Funding from this program strengthens efforts to extend the life of such materials and make their intellectual content widely accessible, often through the use of digital technology. Awards are also made to create various reference resources that facilitate use of cultural materials, from works that provide basic information quickly to tools that synthesize and codify knowledge of a subject for in-depth investigation. HCRR offers two kinds of awards: 1) for implementation and 2) for planning, assessment, and pilot efforts (HCRR Foundations grants). </Description>

        <Description>Subtitle C of the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-11) (Act) authorized the Wolf-Livestock Demonstration Project Grant Program with two purposes: 1) prevention - grant dollars to assist livestock producers in undertaking proactive, nonlethal activities to reduce the risk of livestock loss due to predation by wolves; and 2) compensation - grant dollars to reimburse livestock producers for livestock losses due to such predation. Included in the authorization language was direction that the program be established as a grant program to provide funding to States and tribes, that the Federal cost-share not exceed 50 percent, and that funds be expended equally between the two purposes. The Service is initiating a competitive program to States and tribes in accordance with P.L. 111-11. States and tribes may compete for prevention or compensation grants. Grant amounts will be contingent upon the quality and number of proposals received. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov.

        <Description>The single-source determination is in accordance with criteria #4 (Unique Qualifications) under Department of Interior guidance (505 DM 2 AT 2.14) The objectives of the cooperative agreement with AZGFD are; 1) to participate with the AZGFD in the expansion of aerial telemetry flights for Sonoran pronghorn from bimonthly to weekly in support of a study funded by the Department of homeland Security to evaluate the effects of human activity on Sonoran pronghorn and; 2) to enlarge three existing water catchments for Sonoran pronghorn within the refuge to provide dependable, year around water sources for the pronghorn and to reduce if not eliminate the need for supplemental water hauling to these catchments. Additional pronghorn survey flights in support of the human effects study and funding for three water catchments are among the offsetting measures for Sonoran pronghorn developed by the Service in the Ajo-1 Biological Opinion [AESO]/SE 22410-F-2009-0089. These actions will assist the Service in meeting goals and objectives identified in the 1998 Sonoran Pronghorn Recovery Plan. The cooperative agreement with AZGFD has been entered into to facilitate the timely implementation of these monitoring and construction related activities. AZGFD is uniquely qualified to complete the activities necessary to assure that commitment and support is maintained to achieve the goals and objectives throughout the term of the agreement. AZGFD is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based on their technical expertise in conducting telemetry flights for Sonoran pronghorn and, the design and construction of water catchments for Sonoran pronghorn. The telemetry flights will be performed over lands administered by the U.S. Fish and wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Air Force and, U.S. Marine Corps. The waters will be constructed on lands administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Both the AZGFD and the Service are mandated to ensure the recovery of Sonoran pronghorn.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the &amp;#8220;Feed the Future Nepal Seed and Fertilizer Sectors Development Project&amp;#8221; is to increase national crop productivity and food security of poor households by strengthening the seed and fertilizer systems and improving farmers&amp;#8217; access to quality seeds and Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) technologies in Nepal. The project is composed of two components (seeds and fertilizer) and will operate primarily by improving the capacity of both the public and private sectors in their respective roles in technology development and dissemination. Project activities will be focused in the FTF Zone of Influence (ZOI) 20 districts on the rice, maize, lentils, and other high value vegetable value chains. Through these two components, the SFDP project is expected to: 1. Increase the role and capacity of public and private sector actors in technology development and dissemination; 2. Increase the number of productivity enhancing technologies available to smallholder producers in the FTF ZOI. 3. Strengthen international partnership and adequate financing for agricultural research to increase productivity and maintain or improve soil fertility. </Description>

        <Description>Background: Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah is seeking proposals to provide resources to coordinate trainings and on the ground public lands and Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail projects to improve public lands experiences and foster stewardship activities in line with the mission of the Natural Resources Coordinating Council (NRCC). Utah Bureau of Land Management participates in the NRCC partnership along with the U.S. Forest Service, Utah Division of State Parks, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration.Management of public lands activities such as OHVs and trail and travel systems are a challenge for all land management agencies in Utah. Because each agency is facing the same challenge, Utah land management agencies formed a partnership called the Natural Resource Coordinating Council. To formalize this partnership, a Memorandum of Understanding was created among the Bureau of Land Management, the State of Utah and the Forest Service. The vision statement of the group is as follows: To meet the challenges of providing for appropriate OHV opportunities on Federal, State and Trust lands as well as ensuring the protection and wise management of natural resources and the myriad recreational opportunities for now and in the future. Working under this partnership has seen many cooperative projects completed, such as the development and implementation of awareness campaigns as evidenced by the Ride On Utah campaign in partnership with Tread Lightly!, identification of OHV hot spots across the state, sign standards, one day ride maps and shared law enforcement efforts on key recreational use weekends. To further the mission of the partnership, the following items will be the focus of the agreement. &amp;#9642; Monitor and assist in the maintenance of public lands and trail and travel systems &amp;#9642; Provide on the ground public outreach and education opportunities &amp;#9642; Plan and carry out on the ground projects statewideWith so many acres managed by several offices across the state; the establishment of this agreement under the direction of the NRCC media and technical teams will help to focus resources and establish key relationships with local agency representatives such as those at local BLM field offices and State Parks. From there, resources pooled through this agreement will be devoted to accomplish work on the ground. Objective: The primary objective is to provide a method for the BLM to contribute resources to support the NRCC partnership with the intent to increase stewardship efforts in a long term and consistent manner on BLM managed lands in coordination with other land management agencies statewide.Public Benefit: Coordinating efforts and combining limited resources will increase the capacity for educating, monitoring and accomplishing projects on the ground which improve the quality and quantity of recreational opportunities available to the public across the state while also increasing the awareness of and protection of sensitive resources that may be threatened by irresponsible recreation activities including the use of OHVs. With more than 200,000 registered OHVs in Utah, and approximately 80% of those along the Wasatch Front of the Salt Lake Valley, providing a central contact/source to plan and coordinate stewardship activities across agencies statewide will improve awareness of how the public, as well as agencies, can increase the number and quality of individuals and groups who may effectively assist in the management of their public lands.</Description>

        <Description>The Region 6 US Fish and Wildlife Service Fisheries Program and its partners recognize that we share responsibilities for preventing and controlling the impacts of aquatic invasive species on fish and other aquatic resources, and success is contingent on partnerships that cut across jurisdictions. Region 6 covers the states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas. Proposals will only be considered for projects within these states, or as related to the Western Regional Panel on Aquatic Invasive Species and/or the 100th Meridian Initiative, which are coordinated in part by Region 6 Fisheries.Proposals may include but are not limited to: assessment, planning and coordination; prevention and control programs; research to understand or determine Aquatic Invasive Species effects, risk or spread; research to develop control or eradication tools; and Outreach and Education efforts intended to produce a change in behavior that will curtail spread of invasive species. This includes a process to fund State Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Management Plans officially approved by the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force and authorized by the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990. Project ranking criteria include: ecological benefits for Federal trust species, minimizing or removing impacts of aquatic species posing highest risks to native species or ecosystems, current scientific knowledge and proven technology, and addressing objectives outlined in approved federal, state, regional, tribal or species aquatic nuisance species control and management plans. Projects will also be evaluated for their biological and statistical soundness, feasibility, geographic scope of applicability, and cost effectiveness. Benefits of collaborative interagency efforts and partnerships for aquatic resources will be: reduced impacts of invasive species and/or reduced invasive species populations, and improved partnerships and decreased duplication of efforts. Activities will be consistent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fisheries Program Vision.Significance: The extent to which the project, if successfully carried out, will make and original and important contribution to the Fish and Wildlife Service Mission and the public.Approach: The extent to which the concept, design, methods, analyses, and technologies are properly developed, well-integrated, and appropriate to the aims of the project.Feasibility: The likelihood that the proposed work can be accomplished within the proposed budget by the technical staff, given their experience and expertise, past progress, available resources, and institutional/organizational commitment.

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. Purpose of Program: The FITW program is designed to support the development, replication, and dissemination of innovative solutions and evidence for what works in addressing persistent and widespread challenges in postsecondary education for students who are at risk for not persisting in and completing postsecondary programs, including, but not limited to, adult learners, working students, part-time students, students from low-income backgrounds, students of color, students with disabilities, and first-generation students. The focus of the FITW program is to build evidence for what works in postsecondary education by testing the effectiveness of these strategies in improving student persistence and completion outcomes. For FY 2015, the Department will award two types of grants under FITW: ``Development&amp;apos;&amp;apos; grants and ``Validation&amp;apos;&amp;apos; grants. These grants differ in terms of the level of evidence of effectiveness required for consideration of funding, the level of scale the funded project should reach, and, consequently, the amount of funding available to support the project. This notice invites applications for Validation grants only. Validation grants provide funding to support the expansion and replication of projects supported by moderate evidence of effectiveness (as defined in this notice) to a scaled multi-site sample (as defined in this notice), which would include multiple institutions of higher education, including multiple institutions within a State system. All Validation grantees must evaluate the effectiveness of the project at each partner entity. The evaluation design will be assessed on the extent to which it could meet What Works Clearinghouse Evidence Standards (as defined in this notice) without reservations. The Department has published a separate notice inviting applications for Development grants elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.

        <Description>This FFO announces the availability of funding for implementation grants under the Partnerships for Opportunity and Workforce and Economic Revitalization (POWER) Initiative. The POWER Initiative is a new interagency effort to assist communities and workers negatively impacted by changes in the coal industry and power sector. Booming natural gas production, declining costs for renewable energy, increases in energy efficiency, flattening electricity demand, and updated clean air standards are changing the way electricity is generated and used across the country. These industry shifts impact workers and communities who have relied on the coal economy as a source of good jobs and economic prosperity. The goal of the POWER Initiative is to align, leverage, and target complementary federal economic and workforce development resources to assist communities and workers negatively impacted by changes in the coal economy. By aligning and leveraging the resources of DOC&amp;#8217;s EDA, DOL&amp;#8217;s ETA, ARC, and SBA, this initiative seeks projects that reach across economic development and workforce development systems and support local solutions that implement existing economic development strategic plans. This FFO is intended to competitively award grants to partnerships of regionally-oriented economic and workforce development organizations and other key stakeholders located in and supporting impacted coal communities. These grants will enable grantees to take deliberate and measured steps to build economic resilience, industry diversification, local and regional workforce pipelines, and promote new job creation opportunities. Funds across all four programs will be prioritized to those applications that establish a clear linkage between the proposed project and how it will result in local economic growth and diversification, job creation, and job training and reemployment for dislocated workers as outlined in a broader economic and workforce development strategy. In addition to funds made available under this FFO, the POWER initiative makes EDA funds available for planning assistance. Additionally, eight additional federal agencies and offices participating in the POWER initiative will provide technical assistance and education and outreach to winning applicants, and/or preference points for additional agency funding. </Description>

        <Description>The intended outcome of this FOA is to advance efforts for a nationally integrated food safety system by assisting retail food regulatory programs in achieving conformance with the Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards (VNRFRPS or Retail Program Standards). The Retail Program Standards apply to the operation and management of a retail food regulatory program that is focused on the reduction of risk factors known to cause or contribute to foodborne illness and to the promotion of active managerial control of these risk factors. These cooperative agreements are intended to assist regulatory food retail programs in developing, implementing, and improving the infrastructure necessary to support conformance with the VNRFRPS.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are listed below:   &amp;#149;Other (specify):  &amp;#149;Local Indigenous Universities; and  &amp;#149;Educational Institutions Serving the Eastern Part of Ethiopia    Attach with &amp;#147;Other Attachment Forms&amp;#148; when submitting via www.grants.gov.  Consistent with the purpose of this FOA which is &amp;#147;to support universities in Eastern Ethiopia to build their HRH capacities and infrastructure to strengthen the delivery of HIV/AIDS, STI and TB services within the university and the surrounding area&amp;#148; eligibility is limited to local Ethiopian Universities in the eastern part of the country.  The reasons for limited eligibility include the following:     &amp;#149;Local universities have the mandate for pre-service education of health workers in Ethiopia, which is required to strengthen human resource capacity.   &amp;#149;The Government of Ethiopia has recently mandated that in-service training of health workers be housed in, and coordinated by, local universities with health colleges.    &amp;#149;Local universities are the main source of the health workforce assigned at health facilities, RHBs and the Ministry of Health.   &amp;#149;Local universities have the unique experience and charter of training a variety of health professionals, through which they are well acquainted with the health system of the country, prevalent health problems and control measures for HIV/AIDS programs.  &amp;#149;Teaching hospitals in Ethiopia are solely administered by local, public universities. These teaching hospitals provide a unique setting for building capacity of local health professionals.   &amp;#149;Data have shown that the young, urban population &amp;#150; including university students &amp;#150; is at high risk for HIV. The need to strengthen on-site service delivery and improve education and awareness of the student population through university-based service providers &amp;#145;on campus&amp;#146; is critical to building the university&amp;#146;s health systems to properly address the population&amp;#146;s increased HIV risk.    &amp;#149;In the interest of proper geographic distribution of services and support, this FOA is geographically focused on Eastern Ethiopia. CDC-Ethiopia has cooperative agreements in place with local universities in the other geographic regions of the country.      No other entities, aside from the local indigneous organizations defined in this justification, possess the ability to achieve the outcome of local capacity development through the activities stated within this Funding Opportunity Announcement.     CDC has had a cooperative agreement (CoAg) to support Haromaya University, a local university in Eastern Ethiopia. CDC support under CoAg PS000828 has focused on comprehensive prevention, STI control and training on HIV/AIDS for students, university staff and graduates. The activities to be supported under this FOA will build on the previous CoAg, and will further focus on strengthen human resources for health &amp;#150; both at the university and in the catchment area.   </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

NRCS works in partnership with other entities to accelerate getting conservation on the ground.Through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), NRCS seeks to co-invest with partners in innovative, workable and cost-effective approaches to benefit farming, ranching, and forest operations, local economies, and the communities and resources in a watershed or other geographic area.RCPP partners develop project applications, as described in this notice, to address specific natural resource objectives in a proposed area or region. Partnering organizations design, promote, implement, and evaluate the project outcomes.NRCS will select final RCPP projects following a two-phase application process that includes:(1)a pre-proposal application; and (2) a full proposal application. NRCS will assess and evaluate RCPP project applications against four criteria-solutions, contributions, innovation, and participation. The full proposal process is only open to applicants whose pre-proposal applications are selected by the agency to go forward from the pre-proposal stage. All RCPP applications become the prope1iy of NRCS for use in the administration of the program and will not be returned to the applicant.RCPP federal assistance is delivered in accordance with the authorities of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP), and Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP), and in ce1iain geographic areas, the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention program. NRCS and partners implement RCPP projects by working with agricultural producers and owners of agricultural and forestland.The purpose of this notice is to announce the availability of CCC funding for RCPP and to solicit applications from potential partners. Subject to fiscal year (FY) 2016 appropriations, NRCS anticipates the availability of about $225 million in funding for RCPP. If the Sequester were not in effect in FY 2016, as proposed in the President&amp;apos;s FY 2016 Budget, available funding would be about $235 million. The FY 2015 proposal process offered up to $394 million in funding, reflecting two years of funding (FY2014 and FY2015), not a higher level of annual funding.Applications will be accepted from all 50 States, the Caribbean Area (Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands), and U.S. territories in the Pacific Island Areas (Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands).</Description>

        <Description>Complete information, including the full RFI, can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications through this RFI. DOE will not respond to questions regarding this RFI. For this RFI, the Department of Energy (DOE) Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) seeks input on three (3) categories to encourage increased development of geothermal resources through recovery of dissolved critical materials. The first category is to explore the opportunities to conduct extensive engineering validation testing of feasible technologies or processes that can efficiently and cost-effectively capture, concentrate, and/or purify high-value materials, that may be contained in geothermal fluids and process streams. GTO seeks to broaden the assessment of available or possible approaches by exploring methodologies that may be adaptable from extractive industries such as oil and gas, mining, and other industries that may utilize chemicals, resins or other approaches to purify or process a material. The second category is to query concepts and approaches for leveraging methods in use or being considered for commercial applications in the geothermal and mining industries. Ideas are sought for combined drilling technologies, rock stimulation technologies such as those used in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and mineral extraction technologies as currently applied in solution mining. The third category is to broaden the database of knowledge about the existence and concentration of the high-value materials in U.S. geothermal fluids or low-temperature process streams from other operations, such as oil and gas production. The information sought may be site-specific mineral content and/or an overall assessment of the U.S. mineral resource base in geothermal and other produced fluids. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to LowTValidation@hq.doe.gov no later than 5pm ET on Monday, June 8th. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email.</Description>

        <Description>The United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Georgia, requests applications from Georgian non-governmental organizations for projects to strengthen election and political processes in Georgia. USAID uses an Annual Program Statement (APS) to generate competition for awards when the Agency intends to support a variety of creative approaches and activities that contribute to the attainment of its strategic objectives. This APS is designed to seek relationships beyond traditional USAID norms by inviting submissions from local organizations, including those who have never received direct funding from USAID. The overall goal of USAID&amp;#8217;s Strengthening Electoral and Political Processes in Georgia through Direct Awards to Georgia&amp;#8217;s Civil Society Organizations APS is to support Georgian groups to mount credible electoral and political process monitoring activities and to inform the public of their recommendations in order to help engage citizens in electoral and political processes in Georgia. To achieve this goal, USAID intends to issue multiple awards under this APS to applicants who address the following objective: Increase the confidence of Georgian citizens in local and national elections by contributing to increased transparency and accountability of electoral and political processes.Subject to the availability of funds, USAID intends to provide funding for multiple cooperative agreements worth from $200,000 to $1,500,000 for up to 36 months to support activities related to election and political process monitoring for the upcoming election cycle in Georgia, which includes 2016 Parliamentary, 2017 local, and 2018 Presidential elections. Awards should be structured to cover the 2016 and 2017 election periods, with a possible extension period for 2018 presidential elections; interventions around the 2018 presidential elections should be proposed now, but would not be decided and finalized until a later date. USAID intends to make all awards to local organizations for the upcoming election cycle prior to the 2016 Parliamentary elections; local organizations should not expect that additional election and political process monitoring awards will be made between 2016 and 2018.</Description>

        <Description>Background: The principal purpose of this agreement is to support restoration and maintenance of healthy, productive ecosystems and wildlife populations through land management activities. Disruption of the pre-settlement disturbance regimes and climate change have caused vegetative changes that now put many of Colorado&amp;apos;s ecosystems at risk of uncharacteristic damaging wildfire and unhealthy conditions. Objectives: To improve forest health and wildlife habitat through a variety of treatments in a variety of forested and non-forested ecosystems. Projects may include, but are not limited to: - Commercial and non-commercial thinning of forests. - Hand and mechanized treatment of vegetation to reduce hazardous fuel conditions and or improve habitats. - Seeding of appropriate wildlife browse and forage species for habitat enhancement, and seeding for erosion and noxious weed control on sites disturbed by management activities. Seedings will consist of native species unless science and experience have proven non-native, non-invasive species are more effective. - Layout of treatment unit boundaries and timber marking under the direct supervision of BLM staff. - Prescribed fire may be part of the overall project. However, Federal agency personnel will serve as the lead partner for any prescribed fire planning and operations. All fire personnel will meet NWCG requirements. - Pre and Post-treatment monitoring of specific treatment objectives and goals. The BLM will work closely with the recipient to plan, implement and monitor the effectiveness of proposed projects. The BLM will assist in obtaining any required permits and ensure the proper NEPA is completed as needed to accomplish project goals. The recipient will provide a quality control and monitoring plan that will be approved and reviewed by the BLM. Each year an Annual Operating Plan (AOP) will be developed collaboratively between the BLM and recipient with details about specific projects, partners/authorized contacts, funds/contributions, project requirements and the project management plan. The AOPs will be included annually as modifications to the agreement. Public Benefit: Improved resilient landscapes, enhanced watersheds, habitats, aesthetic conditions, and reduced risk of catastrophic wildfire achieved through improving and restoring ecosystem health.</Description>

        <Description>The undersized three-culvert stream crossing of Dutch Creek under Mitchell Street (which becomes Black Rock Road outside of the Falls City limits) has become a frequent problem during heavy rain events when debris clogs the small culverts. On three known occasions over the past 10 years, this condition has resulted in a road overtopping and/or washout and complete road closure. Bypass during this condition is either through private lands or by driving nearly an hour around to access in the Grand Ronde area. Road overtopping during flooding is a significant safety risk to all users, especially given the lack of alternate routes available and the risk that drivers are willing to take to cross flood waters to get out. A half dozen residences and a summer camp are located beyond the crossing site. Blackrock Road is the shortest and simplest access route for emergency response. Due to funding limitations the City of Falls City, the administrative owner of the Dutch Creek crossing, has been unable to respond in a timely manner to these washouts and the repair work has typically fallen to private timberland owners or Polk County. Fish passage conditions at the Dutch Creek crossing, under Mitchell Street, would be considered poor for adult resident trout and a full barrier to juvenile resident trout. The culvert blocks fish passage in Dutch Creek near its confluence with the Little Luckiamute River. The Little Luckiamute River is a local popular resident trout sport fishery, recommended on several fishing websites. Protecting and restoring access to rearing and spawning habitat, such as found in Dutch Creek, is necessary to support and expand the fishery. The close proximity of the Little Luckiamute River to Blackrock Road creates environmental risk due to road sediment washing into waters of the state. Endangered Species Act listed Upper Willamette River winter steelhead are immediately downstream of the Blackrock and Valsetz roads, ending at the water falls in Falls City. Current conditions of the road system result in seasonal restrictions on Blackrock Road to avoid affects to listed fish. Making improvements to Blackrock Road and Valsetz Road, including culvert replacements and road paving, would reduce sediment delivery to listed fish habitat of the Little Luckiamute that would increase BLM flexibility to move logs during wet weather conditions and restore fish passage to native species. Any stream channel disturbance activities within 1 mile of listed fish habitat will likely require consultation coverage. The objective is restoration, conservation, protection, preservation and management of streams and roads in the Middle Little Luckiamute Sub-Watershed in Oregon. </Description>

        <Description>Many areas in the west are currently experiencing unprecedented drought conditions. While droughts are common in the western United States (U.S.), there is growing evidence that climate change is causing longer and more frequent droughts in some areas. Drought directly impacts the Bureau of Reclamation&amp;#8217;s (Reclamation) ability to deliver water and power to contractors, central to Reclamation&amp;#8217;s mission. As the Nation&amp;#8217;s largest wholesale water supplier, Reclamation must support our customers, stakeholders, and partners in building resiliency to drought and climate change.Reclamation has developed a new Drought Response Program to improve our ability to assist States, tribes, and local governments to prepare for and address drought in advance of a crisis. The Drought Response Program is funded under the U.S. Department of the Interior&amp;#8217;s (Interior) WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America&amp;#8217;s Resources for Tomorrow) Program. The Drought Response Program supports a proactive approach to drought by providing assistance to water users to (1) develop and update comprehensive drought contingency plans Drought Contingency Plans, (2) implement projects that will build long-term resiliency to drought (Drought Resiliency Projects), and (3) implement emergency response actions. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports Drought Resiliency Projects that will build long-term resiliency to drought and reduce the need for emergency response actions.For further information on the Drought Response Program, please see www.usbr.gov/drought/.For further information on the WaterSMART Program, please see www.usbr.gov/WaterSMART/.</Description>

        <Description>The University of California, Los Angeles, in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), has been developing a framework to complete a basic metapopulation viability analysis (MVA) for the endangered tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi). The recovery criterion for the goby states that an MVA based on scientifically credible monitoring over a 10-year period must indicate that each of the six Recovery Units have a 75 percent or better chance of persistence for a minimum of 100 years for downlisting. We have outlined the following tasks to complete a basic MVA for the tidewater goby to assess this recovery criterion. Objective is to complete a basic metapopulation viability analysis for the endangered tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi) </Description>

        <Description>The goal of these cooperative agreements is to facilitate long-term improvements to the national integrated food safety system by unifying and coordinating federal/state/local food/feed emergency response efforts including: 1) Strengthening the link among epidemiology, lab and environmental health/regulatory components; 2) Improving States&amp;apos; regulatory and surveillance food/feed protection programs to include using Incident Command System (ICS)/National Incident Management System (NIMS) principles and a Unified Command structure to conduct integrated responses to all-hazards food/feed emergencies, rapidly identifying and removing tainted food from commerce, and conducting root cause investigations to inform future prevention efforts; and 3) Addressing supporting components, such as training, data sharing, data analysis, communications, continuous process improvement, and development of best practices and other resources to support national capacity/capability development. This will be accomplished through the provision of funding to support multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplinary Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) for program improvement and will require extensive cooperation and coordination with FDA District Offices and other FDA program offices. </Description>

        <Description>This Limited Competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from the Principal Investigators of the six current Clinical Centers (CCs) for The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study, an ongoing epidemiological study of type 1 diabetes (T1D) etiology. The TEDDY study involves the rigorous investigation of TEDDY subjects, including data and samples, for the identification of infectious agents, dietary factors, or other environmental factors associated with onset of T1D and/or T1D associated autoimmune markers. The six current CCs have been involved in study design and data and biosample acquisition since the inception of the TEDDY consortium. The CCs have recruited participants and followed the subjects over the past 10 years. This FOA is a one-time solicitation to support the CCs to allow them to continue to retain, follow clinically, and collect biosamples from TEDDY subjects for an additional 5 years.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) offers grants to State fish and wildlife agencies in the Service&amp;#65533;s Northeast Region (Region 5) for efforts to conserve monarch butterflies and their habitat. Since the mid 1990&amp;#65533;s, there has been a loss of approximately 165 million acres of habitat and an estimated 50 percent decline in the population of monarch butterflies in some regions of the United States. The Monarch Butterfly Conservation Fund (Fund) is an effort by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to increase monarch butterfly populations and the native habitat upon which they depend. The Fund supports the Federal commitment to add 10 million acres of monarch butterfly habitat in the continental U.S. and increase monarch populations to viable and sustainable levels throughout their range. This opportunity builds on the previous efforts of the Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Monarch Joint Venture, and other entities, and implements guidance from the North American Monarch Conservation Plan. The R5 Northeast State Grants will focus on state-owned lands with potential monarch habitat in the coastal migration corridor to help ensure continuity of habitat along the essential migration route. The grants will also place priority upon lands in proximity to urban areas and National Wildlife Refuge System lands to help link habitat projects with opportunities for public education about monarchs and other critical pollinators. In particular, the Fund seeks to increase the availability of regionally specific native milkweed and nectar forage plants to provide food along the monarch migration corridor. </Description>

        <Description>Connecting South Asian Association for a Regional Cooperation (SAARC) partners is a key Mission goal, however the logistics of holding a conference within the region itself are prohibitive. Mission India plans to follow the model created in 2014 of sending regional leaders to the U.S. We plan to send a group of 15 SAARC participants on a three week, in-depth study-tour of the U.S. Designed to be very similar to an International Visitor Leadership Program, the trip will focus on regional connectivity, with a special emphasis on economic cooperation. Three young leaders (28-35 years old) from major political parties from each of the five major South Asian countries (India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) will be nominated by respective U.S .Embassies in these South Asian countries to participate in this program. (Please refer full announcement for details). </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches into NRCS technical manuals and guides or to the private sector. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology in order to increase adoption with an emphasis on opportunities to scale proven, emerging conservation strategies. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. CIG does not fund research projects, with the exception of on-farm conservation research. On-farm conservation research is defined as an investigation conducted to answer a specified conservation-related question using a statistically valid design, while employing farm-scale equipment on farm fields. Specifically, a valid study design will use an appropriate number of replications and statistical analysis of results. To the extent NRCS funds research projects through CIG, the Agency will only fund research projects that stimulate innovative approaches to natural resource management in conjunction with agricultural production. NRCS will accept proposals under this notice for single or multiyear projects, not to exceed three years, submitted by eligible entities including Indian Tribes, State and local units of government, non-governmental organizations, and individuals. Proposals will be screened for completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice. Incomplete and/or noncompliant proposals will be eliminated from competition, and notification of elimination will be sent to the applicant. Complete proposals received by applicable deadlines will be evaluated by a technical peer review panel based on the Proposal Evaluation Criteria identified in the instructions in section V.B. Considered proposals, along with their associated technical peer review and recommendations will be forwarded to the State Conservationist who will make the final selections.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Citizen Exchanges of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for the FY 2016 MediaMakers Studio, pending the availability of FY 2016 funds. MediaMakers Studio expands on the American Film Showcase program model and other well established and successful ECA film programs. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to conduct an innovative professional development program with leading U.S. entertainment and media mentors that will enhance the creative impact of filmmaking professionals from participating countries. This program, like other ECA film program models, seeks to elevate influential voices that are building resilient civil societies by using film, television and new media to address critical local issues including, but not limited to, human rights, pluralism, women&amp;apos;s empowerment, and tolerance. The MediaMakers Studio will connect approximately 12-18 talented film and video professionals from approximately four to six countries with mentors in the U.S. entertainment industry, who will help facilitate behind-the-scenes access, bolster participants&amp;apos; technical skills and creative content development, and build the foundations for lasting professional networks. This program will focus on film projects in development and match participant areas of interest with mentor expertise. Fellows will travel to Los Angeles, California to work on projects with a team of American mentors and receive state-of-the-art-training and industry access to support conceptual development of independent, authentic and compelling content for distribution in their home countries. Following this intensive, hands-on exchange, Mentors will travel to a select number of the Fellows&amp;apos; countries, when possible, for continued creative consultation and engagement. Both Mentors and Fellows will mutually benefit from the extended creative and professional development, which will promote dialogue and understanding and lead to greater creative and entrepreneurial connections.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Training and Employment Guidance letter (TEGL) is to allot PY 2014 Dislocated Worker National Reserve funds to states, Outlying Areas, and WIA Section 166 Indian and Native American grantees specifically for WIOA implementation activities including training of front-line staff, convening boards and supporting planning, transitioning to serving out-of-school youth, and assessing and improving state information technology (IT) systems. WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. WIOA supersedes titles I and II of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and amends the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, the Wagner-Peyser Act, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In general, the Act takes effect on July 1, 2015, the first full program year after enactment, unless otherwise noted. The Departments of Labor and Education are working to publish a set of regulations implementing WIOA. On April 9th, the Federal Register posted five Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRMs) implementing the Opportunity Act on its Web site for public inspection, https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection, which offers a preview of documents scheduled to publish soon in the Federal Register. The NPRMs were formally published in the Federal Register on April 16th. Comments should be submitted in accordance with the process outlined in the NPRMs, including by visiting http://www.regulations.gov. The comment period will be open for 60 days, and will close on June 15, 2015. In order to continue implementation prior to the final rule, a series of WIOA Operating Guidance documents that provide the needed implementation information will be issued in the form of Training and Employment Guidance Letters (TEGLs). These Operating Guidance documents on WIOA will inform the system about how to begin the important planning and reorganization necessary to comply with new WIOA statutory requirements for the upcoming Program Year (PY) 2015 (beginning July 1, 2015). The Operating Guidance TEGLs will provide a framework for program activities until the regulations are finalized. This TEGL is one in the ongoing series of Guidance. </Description>

        <Description>Lake sturgeon are of management concern throughout the Great Lakes basin. Knowledge regarding lake sturgeon ecology is primarily based on studies conducted during brief spawning periods in river habitats. Little is know about lake sturgeon ecology (e.g., habitat use and movement) during the extended periods they spend in the open waters and bays of the Great Lakes. Traditional mark-recapture methods or radio telemetry studies of tagged fish provide limited data about lake sturgeon movement because relatively few individuals from any breeding population are tagged or marked. Genetic techniques can overcome these obstacles and can identify which spawning populations are represented in non-spawning groups of lake sturgeon. Breeding populations of lake sturgeon in Lake Superior exhibit a high degree of spatial genetic structure, and have the highest level of genetic differentiation relative to the rest of the Great Lakes. These genetic differences allow for the identification of spawning population of origin in non-spawning lake sturgeon within Lake Superior. This project will use genomic DNA to determine the source spawning population of individual lake sturgeon collected throughout Lake Superior, and to identify individuals that may have originated from previously unsampled spawning populations. This is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to West Virginia University under justification under justification 505DM 2.14B 4. The Service through the Ashland FWCO will be substantially involved in this project and will collect lake sturgeon tissue samples from several locations for analysis. The Ashland FWCO will serve as the temporary repository for samples collected by partner fishery agencies and will develop a sample inventory spreadsheet and prioritize samples for processing and analysis. Ashland FWCO will serve as the coordinating office to address any issues or questions related to sample analysis, will distribute results of the genetic analysis to partner agencies, and will contribute as a co-author on presentations and publications resulting from this work. Competition is not practical because West Virginia University staff and students have been key components for Lake Superior lake sturgeon population genetic analyses and have worked cooperatively with the agencies of the Lake Superior Lake Sturgeon Work Group for over a decade. West Virginia University has developed and maintains the baseline genetic data for populations of lake sturgeon in the Lake Superior basin, and is currently completing genetic analyses and assignments of juvenile Lake Superior lake sturgeon to their population of origin, thus making this agreement more economical and efficient.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) announces the availability of administrative supplements to support research in which the supplemental funding would investigate the role of dietary supplements and/or their ingredients in health maintenance and disease prevention. Parent awards need not be focused on dietary supplements; this FOA may provide support to include dietary supplements within the scope of relevant research projects. Research interests of ODS are not limited to specific health conditions, organ systems or population groups. ODS supports all types of research, including pre-clinical, clinical, behavioral, and epidemiological. Additionally, ODS supports research and training programs that build future research capacity for studying the role of dietary supplements in health and disease prevention. Primary consideration for support will be given to applications that stimulate dietary supplement research where it is lacking or lagging, clarify gaps, opportunities and balance between benefits and risks where data are in conflict, target special population groups where additional science on dietary supplements is needed, and focus on the use of dietary supplements in improving or maintaining health and reducing the risk of chronic disease. </Description>

        <Description>In support of the Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pacific Region is requesting project proposals for Fiscal Year 2015 to develop comprehensive science-based syntheses of potential future climate changes and their impacts to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems of the main Hawaiian Islands, based on available climate change science. These syntheses will treat each island specifically, and will be developed in close coordination with, and with input from, land managers so that the end products are maximally useful for conservation decision-making and planning. As the species, ecosystems, and conservation challenges on each island are often unique, the details of these island-specific syntheses will differ, but all will include:&amp;#65533; Current trends and future projections of key aspects of climate, such as temperature, winds, rainfall, and sea level, with appropriate consideration of uncertainties;&amp;#65533; Current and projected impacts of climatic changes on ecosystems and native species;&amp;#65533; Implications of these changes on conservation lands; and&amp;#65533; Opportunities for minimizing climate-related losses of resources and their conservation and cultural values through management and public-private collaboration.Development of these syntheses will involve consultation with land managers at multiple stages. Service personnel will be substantially involved in assisting with various aspects of this project.</Description>

        <Description>The FY15 GWIRP is offering two award mechanisms to evaluate potential interventions for GWI: the Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award and the Clinical Trial Award. The Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award, described in this Program Announcement, supports the initial evaluation of a treatment or intervention in early phase or pilot clinical trials (Phase 0, I, or I/II), and does not require preliminary data. These trials will hereafter collectively be referred to as &amp;#8220;pilot clinical trials.&amp;#8221; In contrast, the Clinical Trial Award is intended to support larger, more definitive (Phase II-III, U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] device class I-III) clinical trials. (For information about the Clinical Trial Award, see http://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/gwirp.shtml.) The Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award mechanism was first offered in FY08. Since then, 42 Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award applications have been received, and 15 have been recommended for funding. The Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award mechanism supports the early systematic evaluation of innovative interventions with the potential to impact the health and lives of Veterans with GWI. The results of preliminary studies funded by this award should have the potential to provide clinical proof-of-principle data and support future development of broader efficacy studies of the proposed interventions. Innovation is an important component of the Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award. An application may demonstrate innovation not only by investigating a novel therapeutic approach for GWI, but also by studying a treatment that may have been utilized for other chronic multisymptom illnesses, but has not yet been studied in Veterans with GWI. For example, a pharmacological treatment or nutritional supplement suggested by previous research to be beneficial for fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome could be evaluated in Veterans with GWI under the Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award. However, the focus of the research must be clearly on GWI (and Veterans of the 1990-1991 Gulf War) and not on another disease process or Veteran cohort. Given the emphasis on innovation in the Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award, applications are not required to include preliminary data. If preliminary data are provided, the data do not necessarily have to come from the GWI research field. Whether or not preliminary data are included in the application, the proposed research project should be based on sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and critical review and analysis of the literature. Trials of treatments or interventions for which considerable preliminary and/or preclinical data have been developed should be proposed under the Clinical Trial Award (see http://cdmrp.army.mil/gwirp/default.shtml). This award mechanism is designed to evaluate a broad scope of treatment approaches with potential for application to GWI. Treatment approaches may include pharmacologic or other physiological interventions, including conventional, alternative, or complementary (combination of alternative and conventional) approaches. A variety of experimental and non-experimental study designs are acceptable under this award mechanism. The proposed study design will depend on the specific treatment or intervention to be assessed, resources available to clinical investigators, and the level of evidence currently available to support the proposed treatment for GWI. Examples of potential prospective designs may include systematic case series, prospective outcome evaluation studies, small-scale randomized trials, a combination of these, or other innovative prospective methods. Also of interest are interventions based on biological alterations identified in Veterans with GWI. All studies involving interventions, regardless of design, are considered clinical trials. The Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award supports execution of clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on the health and lives of Veterans with GWI. Health outcomes of interest should include improvements in overall functional status or in symptom complexes (e.g., cognitive function, musculoskeletal/pain symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, respiratory problems, skin abnormalities, sleep difficulties and others) individually and/or as they may interact with each other.</Description>

        <Description>The Consortium will be charged with three primary objectives: 1) continue building the competence of mainstream aging services organizations to better respond to the needs of older racial and ethnic minority and LGBT individuals; 2) develop and disseminate training and technical assistance to racial and ethnic minority and LGBT national and community organizations that will enable them to better recognize the needs of older individuals; 3) identify and develop training and technical assistance strategies and/or materials for older racial and ethnic minority and LBGT individuals. The Consortium work will build on decades of experience targeting special populations, identifying need, barriers to service and identifying appropriate strategies to meet those needs. Further, the Consortium will be charged with identifying and tailoring informational materials and innovative strategies designed in a culturally competent manner to alert racial, ethnic minority and LBGT older individuals and their families how to prevent financial exploitation. Resources and materials will be designed to ensure that the Older Americans Act (OAA) mandates directing that particular attention be paid to those in greatest economic and social need and who are further isolated by their race/ethnicity, limited English speaking proficiency or sexuality are met. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>C. Scott Hall is Senior Manager for National Fish and Wildlife Foundation&amp;apos;s Seabird Conservation Program. NFWF&amp;apos;s Seabird Initiative works to enhance the viability of seabird populations by increasing their survival and reproduction to levels that will allow for long-term sustainability. With participation by the Service, NFWF with the Packard Foundation has secured all the necessary funding to investigate a critical issue to the Service: marine grade lasers are being made available to fishermen as a seabird deterrent device.  The impacts to seabirds, specifically to their vision, is unknown with the use of this technology.  Because this technology is being proposed within the range of endangered short-tailed albatross, the Anchorage Field Office has significant interests in the completion of the study proposed by Esteban Fernandez-Juricic, Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University.  Dr. Fernandez-Juricic&amp;apos;s expertise is in avian visual ecology, and has provided funding partners with a scope of work to address our goals and objectives.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/. Questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at sara@nasa.gov.</Description>

        <Description>While many jurisdictions are making significant progress implementing justice information-sharing solutions to address critical gaps in coordinating crime prevention across organizations and jurisdictions, there remain significant challenges that inhibit the ability of the criminal justice system to respond to threats to public safety, especially when it comes to stemming violent crime and homicide. For this solicitation, justice information-sharing technology refers to any technology (hardware and/or software, hosted residentially or remotely) that plays a role in the collection, storage, sharing, and analysis of criminal justice data. Funding under this program is provided to assist state, local, and tribal jurisdictions in enhancing their information-sharing capacity through the use of innovative technological solutions such that they may more effectively address disproportional and precipitous increases in crime. The goals of the funding program include: 1. Promoting information sharing and collaboration within and among criminal justice agencies that have a role in preventing and investigating crime. 2. Developing and enhancing policies and practices that leverage technology to promote public safety and reduce crime. 3. Supporting implementation of information-sharing solutions at the local, regional, state, tribal, and national levels that have a measureable positive impact on the crime trends identified by the applying jurisdiction. 4. Improving the quantity and quality of evidence-based justice information-sharing programs.</Description>

The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>The Gulf War Illness Epidemiology Research Award mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. The purpose of this award is to support population-based research to obtain a better understanding of mortality, morbidity, and symptomatology over time in Veterans deployed in the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War and afflicted by GWI. While individual symptoms experienced by ill Gulf War Veterans can vary from person to person, the types of symptoms reported are comparable and typically include some combination of widespread pain and headaches, fatigue, cognitive impairment, gastrointestinal symptoms, and skin abnormalities. GWI case definitions published to date may be improved through the consideration of additional epidemiological data describing symptom onset, duration, severity, and laboratory findings. The Gulf War Illness Epidemiology Research Award will support hypothesis-driven or discovery-based research into mortality, morbidity, and symptomatology and/or how these have changed or progressed over time in the Gulf War Veteran population compared to rates and patterns of change with time in appropriate control populations. Topic areas of interest under the Gulf War Illness Epidemiology Research Award include but are not limited to: &amp;#8226; Mortality (rate and causes) &amp;#8226; Descriptors of symptomatology (e.g., duration, frequency, severity, etc.) and changes to those associated with GWI &amp;#8226; Clinical diagnoses and laboratory findings &amp;#8226; Symptom clustering and subgrouping &amp;#8226; Gender and racial differences The April 2014 report of the Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans&amp;#8217; Illnesses (available online at http://www.bu.edu/sph/files/2014/04/RAC2014.pdf) notes that Gulf War Veterans exposed to nerve gas release and oil well fires have elevated rates of death due to brain cancer. However &amp;#8220;very little other research has yet been conducted to determine rates at which Gulf War Veterans have been affected by other medical conditions of possible concern, including neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson&amp;#8217;s disease, other cancers, sleep disorders, adverse pregnancy outcomes or rates of birth defects in Veterans&amp;#8217; children.&amp;#8221; Therefore, studies proposed under this award may also address questions related to medical conditions co-occurring with GWI or related to Gulf War Veteran offspring; however, the primary focus of the study must be epidemiological characterization of the Gulf War Veteran population. The GWIRP intends to fund studies that address broad populations, or comparative populations that can inform one or more of the topic areas listed above. Studies that address small populations, populations associated with very limited catchment, specific military units or geographic areas of deployment, or limited sets of symptoms, markers, or effects must be well justified as to why the scope has been specifically limited. Revisiting previously studied cohorts to generate or extend longitudinal data is one example of a reasonable justification.</Description>

        <Description>The FY15 GWIRP is offering two award mechanisms to evaluate potential interventions for GWI: the Clinical Trial Award and the Innovative Treatment Evaluation Award (ITEA). The Clinical Trial Award, described in this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity, is intended to support larger, more definitive (Phase II-III, U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] device class I-III) clinical trials. In contrast, the ITEA supports the initial evaluation of a treatment or intervention in smaller, early phase or pilot clinical trials (Phase 0, I, or I/II), and does not require preliminary data. For information about the ITEA, see http://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/gwirp.shtml. The Clinical Trial Award mechanism was first offered in FY08. Since then, 14 Clinical Trial Award applications were received, and 4 were recommended for funding. The Clinical Trial Award supports execution of clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on the health and lives of Veterans with GWI. Health outcomes of interest should include improvements in overall functional status or in symptom complexes (e.g., cognitive function, musculoskeletal/pain symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, respiratory problems, skin abnormalities, sleep difficulties and others) individually and/or as they may interact with each other. Proposed studies may be single-center or multi-center clinical trials. Applications may be submitted by a single Principal Investigator (PI) or by a team of investigators led by an Initiating PI with up to three Partnering PIs. Multiple PI Option: The FY15 GWIRP supports collaborative projects to bring a new perspective to GWI research and/or facilitate advancement of GWI treatments through synergistic partnerships. Therefore, the FY15 GWIRP is offering a Multiple PI Option for this award mechanism. The Multiple PI Option is structured so that up to four investigators, each of whom will be designated &amp;#8220;PI&amp;#8221; and receive a separate award, will work synergistically on a single project. One member of the team will be identified as the Initiating PI and will be responsible for the majority of the administrative tasks associated with the application. The other member(s) will be referred to as the Partnering PI(s) (maximum of three). All the investigators must collaborate to submit a single project examining one or more treatment modalities or comparing untested or novel treatments for GWI symptoms. It should be clear that all investigators have an appropriate level of intellectual input and effort. The Initiating PI should have demonstrated expertise in GWI research, while the Partnering PIs may contribute expertise from a different field that can be applied to GWI. Multidisciplinary and multi-organizational projects are encouraged. If the project is multi-organizational, applications should include plans for communication between investigators at each organization. Additionally, participating organizations must be willing to resolve potential intellectual and material property issues and to remove any barriers that might interfere with achieving high levels of cooperation to ensure successful completion of the project. Application responsibilities unique to Partnering PIs will be identified in the supporting sections of this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Applications proposing studies whose principal focus is on the treatment of psychiatric conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), will be administratively withdrawn and will not be funded under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. While Gulf War Veterans are affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also called Lou Gehrig&amp;#8217;s disease) at twice the rate of Veterans who did not serve in the Gulf War, the GWIRP will not accept applications focusing on ALS research. However, applications that focus on GWI symptomatology may include GW Veterans with ALS if the latter disorder is included in the study&amp;#8217;s GWI case definition. [For those interested in pursuing ALS-focused studies, the office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) offers a separate ALS research program (see http://cdmrp.army.mil/alsrp)]. Applications Involving Industry: Applications involving the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry are encouraged whether as Single or Initiating PIs, Partnering PIs or simply named collaborators. Biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies who apply for the Clinical Trial Award, as an individual applicant or as part of a collaboration, are encouraged to leverage their own resources to complement the funding provided by this award.</Description>

        <Description>As directed in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), funds are available for projects enhancing compliance of motor fuel and highway use taxes. Of those funds, $2,000,000 are set aside each year for Intergovernmental Enforcement Efforts in identifying and reducing fuel tax evasion. The Federal share payable is 100 percent. Applicants are encouraged to submit innovative proposals to reduce fuel tax evasion and increase collaboration and coordination among several public agencies, including federal agencies. Research and training proposals are also eligible. However, one state must be designated as the lead for each project that receives Federal funding. Priority will be given to proposals that involve more than one public agency. The minimum funding per project will be $10,000 and the maximum funding per year per project will be $250,000. Any funds administered under this program shall be used in accordance with the specifications in 2 CFR 200 Subpart E-Cost Principles http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=616a6a6c9a0b52b7bbf48e027a88a1b7&amp;amp;mc=true&amp;amp;node=sp2.1.200.e&amp;amp;rgn=div6. An interagency review group will be established to review all proposals after the application deadline. FHWA and IRS will jointly recommend and approve projects for Federal funding for fuel tax evasion intergovernmental enforcement efforts. States selected to receive funding will enter into negotiations with FHWA and the designated lead state will be required to enter into a project agreement with FHWA. Annual reports will required for each project and will be outlined in the project agreement. No project may be funded for a period of more than 2 years. </Description>

        <Description>The New Investigator Award mechanism was first offered in FY14. That year, 11 New Investigator Award applications were received, and 4 were recommended for funding. New for FY15: The GWIRP New Investigator Award contains explicit prescriptive language (see below) to guide applicants wishing to propose investigations of potential biomarkers of GWI. The intent of the GWIRP New Investigator Award is to support investigators new to the field of GWI research at different stages of career development. This award enables such investigators to compete for funding separately from investigators with established programs of GWI research. Previous experience in GWI research is allowed, but not required. However, Principal Investigators (PIs) with a limited background in GWI research are strongly encouraged to strengthen their applications through collaboration with investigators who are experienced in GWI research and/or possess other relevant expertise. It is the PI&amp;#8217;s responsibility to describe how the collaboration(s) will augment his/her ability to address the research question. All applicants for the New Investigator Award must meet specific eligibility criteria under one of the following categories, as described in Section I.C., Eligibility Information. &amp;#8226; Transitioning Postdoctoral Fellow &amp;#8226; Early-Career Investigator &amp;#8226; New GWI Researcher The New Investigator Award is designed to promote new ideas in GWI research and establish proof-of-principle for further development in future studies. Applications are not required to include preliminary data; however, preliminary data may be used to support the objectives of an application. These data are not required to have come from the GWI research field. Applications not supported by preliminary data should be based on sound scientific rationale and may reflect clinical observations or seek to evaluate discoveries made in relation to other chronic multisymptom illnesses for their application in GWI. Regardless of the approach, the focus should be clearly on Veterans with GWI. It is the responsibility of the PI to clearly and explicitly articulate the project&amp;#8217;s potential impact on GWI. The New Investigator Award supports research focusing on the complex of symptoms known as GWI, improving the case definition and diagnosis of GWI, characterizing disease symptoms, and better understanding the pathobiology. The New Investigator Award encourages basic through clinical research aimed at identification of objective measures (e.g., biomarkers) to distinguish healthy Veterans from those with GWI or improve understanding of the pathobiology underlying symptoms associated with GWI. Studies that characterize chronic effects of neurotoxic exposures at dosages comparable to that encountered in-theatre during the Gulf War are of interest. Studies using animal models should focus on long-term and latent effects of toxic exposures to closely represent the current status of GWI patients. All studies using animal models should use an established model unless there is a compelling scientific justification for the development or use of a new model. Development of new animal models is discouraged. The New Investigator Award can also be used for testing of GWI-targeted pharmacologic agents in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies, and toxicology testing, including Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling pharmacology/toxicology testing. Preclinical development of non-pharmacological interventions is also acceptable.</Description>

        <Description>The GWIRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award mechanism was first offered in FY06. Since then, 208 Investigator-Initiated Research Award applications were received, and 57 were recommended for funding. New for FY15: The GWIRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award contains explicit prescriptive language (see below) to guide applicants proposing investigations of potential biomarkers of GWI. The Investigator-Initiated Research Award is designed to promote new ideas in GWI research and establish proof of principle for further development in future studies. Applications are not required to include preliminary data; however, preliminary data may be used to support the objectives of an application.

Preclinical development of non-pharmacological interventions is also acceptable. Applications Proposing Biomarker Research: The search for biomarkers of GWI is of interest to the GWIRP; however, GWI is a chronic, multisymptom illness resulting from exposures that occurred more than two decades ago. Applicants seeking to investigate biomarkers of GWI are strongly encouraged to employ one or more of the following approaches, which take into account confounding factors of biomarker investigations when applied to GWI populations, patient samples, and/or data: &amp;#8226; Use of pre-existing GWI patient samples (and matched control samples) that have been evaluated to ensure artifacts of sample treatment or storage are known and controlled for; &amp;#8226; Investigation of markers that have been identified in peer-reviewed scientific literature as having potential for diagnostic testing (e.g., markers of neural inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and others related to GWI pathobiology); &amp;#8226; Validation of markers for GW-specific exposures independent of later events unrelated to GW deployment; &amp;#8226; Focus on the identification of markers in subgroups that share symptomatology or on groups with known exposures to specific agents; &amp;#8226; Investigative strategies recognizing the distinction between biomarkers of agent exposures, biomarkers of specific effects of agent exposures, and biomarkers of GWI; &amp;#8226; For markers related to exposure, a wide survey of available GW exposure data should be performed. Investigation involving derivation of markers from animal models does not address the intent of the biomarker focus area under this award.</Description>

ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number To be filled out by Contracting Project Title Beringia Messenger Network Recipient Institute of the North Principle Investigator / Program Manager Nils Andreasson Managing Director Institute of the North (907)-786-6331 nandreasson@institutenorth.org Total Anticipated Award Amount $54,000 Cost Share none New Award or Continuation? To be filled out by Contracting Anticipated Period of Performance June 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority The NPS Native American Relations Management Policy of 1987, Public Law 104-208, the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997. This agreement is awarded under Grants.gov federal opportunity announcement number P12AS11228. CFDA # and Title I5.946-Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS ATR Point of Contact To be filled out by Contracting OVERVIEW The Bering Strait (Beringian) Messenger Network is an international program that incorporates local concerns; the Shared Beringian Heritage Program faces obstacles in sustaining open and direct lines of communication with regional, national, and international partners. Developing and strengthening effective communication systems is the hallmark of this program, beginning at the community level and growing to incorporate regional and cross-border components. The Beringian Messenger Network emphasizes a value on traditional knowledge, respect for elders, and a commitment to youth and emerging leaders, while leveraging interest in the Arctic. These components of the program are augmenting existing efforts by the Beringia Program to open and maintain good communication with cooperators. Monthly international thematic teleconferences are an integral part of the effective communication system developed by the Institute of the North, which provides the necessary framework and guidance for the project. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Through this project, the National Park Service collaborates with the Institute of the North in the development of a Bering Strait (Beringian) Messenger Network to expand and strengthen the connections within the Beringia region. The Beringian Messenger Network strengthens the communication system within and between communities. The Beringian Messenger Network responds to two of the stated goals of the Beringia program: 1) Fostering a climate of mutual understanding and cooperation between the United States and Russia; and 2) Supporting efforts to increase understanding and knowledge of shared cultural traditions between indigenous people on both sides of the Bering Strait. Communication remains a vital component of these goals, and the mission of the Shared Beringian Heritage Program cannot be accomplished without effective and frequent communication with cooperators and partners. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Recipient Involvement: The recipient&amp;#8217;s activities in year 3 of the project include: &amp;#8226; Obtain feedback from &amp;#8220;early adopters&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; individuals, organizations and institutions who have been strong participants; &amp;#8226; Host monthly teleconferences; &amp;#8226; Press releases and editorials to local newspapers highlighting the project&amp;apos;s success; &amp;#8226; Invite local radio station (KNOM) to sit in on one of the teleconferences; &amp;#8226; Record of media and/or policy communications that reference the Network; &amp;#8226; Public presentations to the communities and schools in the Beringia Region and beyond; &amp;#8226; Work toward Kawerak partnership; &amp;#8226; Actively structure and facilitate the Network&amp;apos;s growth in participation; &amp;#8226; Transfer facilitation to the Network&amp;apos;s informal leadership when possible, for capacity-building and empowerment; &amp;#8226; Literature review, including review of recent Arctic Council guides to developing social license; &amp;#8226; Conduct the teleconference of Traditional Hunting &amp;amp; Fishing in conjunction with the Kawerak&amp;#8217;s Eskimo Walrus Committee (EWC) workshop in Nome (tentative on the EWC project plans &amp;amp; arrangements); &amp;#8226; Host a forum in Nome to solicit feedback from participants in the Beringian Messenger Network on Bering Strait governance and communications and collect the information for the Beringia Messenger Network Communication Guide; &amp;#8226; Produce quarterly popular articles to the National Park Service to highlight project activities; &amp;#8226; Prepare a final report on project activities, achievement of milestones, and an introductory guide to the Beringian Messenger Network; &amp;#8226; Develop the Beringia Messenger Network Communications Guide; submit it to NPS, other collaborators, local stakeholders and other interested parties the print and electronic versions that include synthesis of the existing network structure; &amp;#8226; Share with stakeholders, including the NPS, a report on governance and communications in the Bering Strait region. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Facilitate and contribute to the building and expansion of the ION network by linking the Beringia program network of contacts in Alaska and Russia (especially in native communities). Use the network of contacts, the Beringia program&amp;apos;s website, and the NPS Alaska Region Facebook page to share information from the final and interim reports with the public, as well as targeted audiences through the development of distribution plan. 2. Assist ION in strengthening their relationship with native and other non-profit organizations in Chukotka, with the National Park Service facilitating the exchange of information and the process of writing international agreements. The NPS&amp;apos; s Shared Beringian Heritage Program has experience in writing successful agreements with Russian organizations, and will provide essential support to ION during the negotiation and finalization of an international agreement with Russian native organizations. 3. The Beringia Program will act as a liaison when needed to facilitate exchanges, enhance communication, provide translation services when necessary, assist with organizing trainings and seminars, and provide logistical support. 4. By attending as many monthly teleconferences as possible, the Beringia program will support ION&amp;apos;s efforts with other parties. By attending relevant partner meetings, the NPS will support the mission and the objectives of the project by interacting with other organizations in order to strengthen the liaison role. 5. The NPS SBHP will also support the ION by presenting information about the project to other interested parties, as well as sharing the goals of the project with others in the NPS/SBHP network, thereby facilitating collaboration and cooperation between past and current partners. 6. Assign the NPS Shared Beringian Heritage Program staff member as the Agreements Technical Representative (ATR) for the administration of this Cooperative Agreement; and as Liaison between the NPS and ION for the implementation of the program(s) identified within this agreement. 7. Provide $54,000 during FY 2015 to the Institute of the North to carry out this project activities in its final year (year three). SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The year three of this project to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of Beringian Messenger Network project final year. The competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the project because the recipient already established the main framework for this project and developed trusted working relationships with main cooperators. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Administration for Community Living (ACL), the Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) have developed this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to assist states in the transformation of their existing publicly administered and publicly funded long term services and supports (LTSS) access functions into a No Wrong Door System of Access to LTSS for all populations and all payers (NWD System). The NWD System&amp;#8217;s purpose is to help individuals access the long term services and supports they are seeking. The NWD System will make it easy for people of all ages, disabilities and income levels to learn about and access the LTSS they need. The NWD System will also provide states with a vehicle for better coordinating and integrating the multiple existing access functions associated with their various state administered programs that pay for LTSS. Most states have already developed programs that help consumers understand and access their LTSS options using various federal grants and authorities, such as Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) grants, Money Follows the Person (MFP) grants, and the Balancing Incentive Program (BIP). However, few states have transformed their existing access functions into a NWD System that reflect the functionality and operational capacity described in this FOA. Matching funds are not required. </Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grants Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#65533;s current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species of greatest conservation need and take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project. Additional information about the State Wildlife Grants Program is on the web at -http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SWG/SWG.htm.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to improve the development and validation of molecular diagnostics for the treatment, control, or prevention of cancer. This FOA includes, but is not limited to, the validation of prognostic, predictive or response markers for treatment and markers for cancer control or prevention trials. Applicants should have an assay that works in human samples and whose importance is well justified for development into a clinical assay. In addition, analytical validation of assays for these markers should be achieved when the application is submitted so that clinical validation may be achieved with little further analytical validation needed. This supplement may be used to support acquisition of specimens from retrospective or prospective studies from NCI-supported or other clinical trials. Clinical laboratory staff, technical and other needs must be an integral part of the application. Assays proposed for this FOA may be used to validate existing assays for use in other cancer clinical trials, observational studies or populations. Projects proposed for this FOA will require multi-disciplinary interaction and collaboration among scientific investigators, clinicians, statisticians and clinical laboratory scientists and staff. This FOA is not intended to support trials that assess the clinical utility of a marker/assay but is intended to develop assays to the point where their clinical utility could be assessed in other trials. </Description>

        <Description>The Food and Drug Administration announces its intention to consider and accept a single source application for award to the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). The purpose of this program is to provide support in convening leading global drug regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical manufacturer associations to achieve greater harmonization of technical standards to ensure that safe, effective, and high quality medicines are developed and registered in the most resource-efficient manner. The outcome of this effort will be a series of guidelines internationally recognized and categorized into four main topics:1. Quality Guidelines: Harmonization achievements in the Quality area include pivotal milestones such as the conduct of stability studies, defining relevant thresholds for impurities testing and a more flexible approach to pharmaceutical quality based on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) risk management.2. Safety Guidelines: A comprehensive set of safety Guidelines to uncover potential risks like carcinogenicity, genotoxicity and reprotoxicity. 3. Efficacy Guidelines: The work carried out by ICH under the Efficacy heading is concerned with the design, conduct, safety, and reporting of clinical trials. It also covers novel types of medicines derived from biotechnological processes and the use of pharmacogenetics/ pharmacogenomics techniques to produce better targeted medicines.4. Multidisciplinary Guidelines: These are the cross-cutting topics which do not fit uniquely into one of the Quality, Safety and Efficacy categories. It includes the Common Technical Document (CTD), and the development of Electronic Standards for the Transfer of Regulatory Information (ESTRI). </Description>

        <Description>This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESU&amp;apos;s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance and education. The recipient will carry out field work to collect data, through excavation and survey and conduct analysis and evaluation. Work may include field visits, site recording and excavation, soil sample collection, mapping, laboratory analysis and data interpretation. Objectives shared by the BLM and the recipient are to connect minority school and college students to careers in natural resources, science and archaeology using BLM field sites and partner facilities to conduct archaeological studies. The program will engage students in projects to understand the cultural resources of the Texas Panhandle in the Amarillo and Oklahoma Field Offices. Modules would be created to teach core concepts in archaeology in the field and laboratory to address research questions regarding local natural and cultural resources. Public lands will be used to sample materials, monitor environmental conditions and to connect these observations to nearby archaeological sites. The project will create information that will assist the BLM in its mission to preserve, protect and manage archaeological and heritage resources. This agreement will create a partnership to provide educational opportunities for students throughout Texas. The recipient will work with the BLM to conduct archaeological studies. Texas is woefully underserved in its opportunites to teach archaeological inventory, recording and excavation techniques on public lands to students. The Cross Bar Management Area in Amarillo, has a great abundance of archaeological resources to provide this type of training which only helps to foster interest in protecting archaeological properties on federal lands.</Description>

        <Description>The principal objective of the National Marine Fisheries Service&amp;apos;s (NMFS) Coastal Ecosystem Resiliency Grants solicitation is to implement projects that use a proactive approach to improve or restore coastal habitat to: 1) strengthen the resilience of our marine and coastal ecosystems to decrease the vulnerability of communities to extreme weather and 2) support sustainable fisheries and contribute to the recovery of protected resources. Applications submitted under this solicitation will be selected based on their ability to demonstrate how the proposed project will enhance the resiliency of marine and coastal ecosystems to the impacts of extreme weather and changing environmental conditions thereby increasing community resilience and providing habitat to threatened and endangered species listed under the Endangered Species Act (hereafter, Listed Species), fish stocks managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (hereafter, Managed Species), or other marine and coastal species with a nexus to NMFS management (such as through the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act, Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, Coral Reef Conservation Act, or NMFS Species of Concern). Successful applications will 1) identify an issue limiting the resiliency of marine and coastal ecosystems to extreme weather events or changing environmental conditions at the proposed project site; 2) identify the proposed project&amp;#8217;s outcome goal(s) and describe in detail the actions and on-the-ground restoration to be undertaken to enhance resiliency and reduce risk and; 3) describe the measurable impact on the ecosystem, target species, and surrounding coastal communities to benefit from the proposed habitat restoration project. Applications selected for funding through this solicitation will primarily be funded through cooperative agreements. Total anticipated funding for all awards is up to $4 million. NOAA anticipates typical awards will range from $500,000 to $1 million. NOAA will not accept applications requesting less than $200,000 or more than $2 million in federal funds from NOAA under this solicitation. Federal funds awarded under this program must be matched with non federal funds (cash or in-kind cost share) at a 2:1 ratio of federal-to-non-federal contributions. For example, an applicant requesting $500,000 in federal funding must provide at least $250,000 in non-federal matching contributions, for a total budget of $750,000. NOAA will only award funds to proposed projects that receive approval of the State&amp;#8217;s Governor as evidenced by a letter or other form of documented correspondence. Funds will be administered by the NOAA Restoration Center. This funding opportunity is one of two Federal Funding Opportunities (FFO) being administered by NOAA to build coastal resilience. The companion competition, the Regional Coastal Resilience Grants Program is being administered by NOAA&amp;#8217;s National Ocean Service to undertake activities that build resilience of coastal regions, communities, and economic sectors to the negative impacts from extreme weather events, climate hazards, and changing ocean conditions. The Regional Coastal Resilience Grants FFO is expected to be posted in May 2015 and may be found on www.grants.gov at FFO number NOAA-NOS-OCM-2015-2004324.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Children&amp;#8217;s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) Payment Program. Federal funding for graduate medical education (GME) is primarily provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Prior to the enactment of the CHGME Payment Program, children&amp;#8217;s teaching hospitals received a disproportionately low amount of Federal GME funding when compared to teaching hospitals that serve adult patients.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) has three primary objectives for the research to be supported: &amp;#8226; To enhance our understanding of the challenges DOE scientists and user facilities face with respect to SSIO and related performance issues; &amp;#8226; To support design and prototyping of next-generation SSIO environments, including storage systems software and middleware; and &amp;#8226; To initiate exploratory research on new SSIO design alternatives to meet the challenges of extreme scale science. To meet these objectives, ASCR invites computer science research proposals to address three themes: 1. Measurement and Understanding of Storage Systems and Input/Output Challenges; 2. Scalable Storage Software Infrastructure; and 3. New Paradigms in Storage Systems and Input/Output. DOE National Laboratories that propose collaboration with a non-Laboratory partner should apply separately through Lab Announcement LAB 15-1338 in PAMS, while the non-Laboratory lead and non-Laboratory collaborating institutions&amp;#8217; applications should be submitted following the above rules in response to this FOA. </Description>

        <Description>This is not a request for applications: The goal of this project is to provide youth with training and work experience in park operations while completing much needed work at the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area (SMMNRA) and the greater Los Angeles area. We seek to partner with the Los Angeles Conservation Corps to provide racially diverse youth with an introduction to park careers and developmental work experience. The primary purpose of the project is to support the Government&amp;#65533;s objective to provide opportunities for youth to learn about the environment by spending time working on projects in National Parks. The NPS receives the indirect benefit of completing conservation projects. In addition, work projects will also be completed in the communities that the youth are from in Los Angeles and Oxnard. The project motivates its youth participants to become involved in the natural and cultural resource protection of their communities. The project instills through its programming components, the development of leadership skills in its youth participants and encourages them to share the NPS mission of natural and cultural resource stewardship to others in their communities and beyond. The project assists in the promotion, facilitation, and improvement of peoples&amp;#65533; understanding of natural, recreational and other aspects of the federal, state, and local parks in the SMMNRA </Description>

        <CategoryExplanation>Washington Department of Fish &amp;amp; Wildlife (WDFW) will install and operate a resistance board weir near river mile 0.8 on Abernahty Creek between October 2011 and June 2012. Weir will be operated for the duration of this time, except when high flows submerge the weir. Weir status (fishing, submerged) will be noted on a daily basis. Weir operation between October and Juanuary depends on funding for the Intensively Montitored Watershed Study (Salmon Recovery Funding Board), which has been secured for the 2011-2012 trapping season.</CategoryExplanation>

        <Description>A reproductive success study has been in place for numerous years on Abernathy Creek in order to determine the relative reproductive success of hatchery versus wild steelhead. during the most recent ISRP review it was recommended that information to determine the number of steelhead spawing in Abernathy Creek downstream from the Abernathy FTC facility was required. Of all the potential options it was determined that a weir crossing the creek at the mouth would be the most effective means of measurement. The FWS will provide $39,171 for the work identified in the scope of work on order to obtain sampling of Abernathy Creek steelhead.</Description>

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS) in partnership with the Office of Child Care (OCC) announces the availability of an estimated $6,500,000 to be competitively awarded for a National Center on Parent, Family and Community Engagement. The Center will disseminate high-quality, research-informed resources and provide training and technical assistance associated with family well-being, effective family and community engagement, and children&amp;#8217;s school readiness. The Center will help programs support pregnant women and families with children ages birth to 5 years old. The Center&amp;#8217;s work will include, but will not be limited to, integrated and systemic family engagement approaches, relationship building practices with families, consumer education, family leadership, family financial stability, and individualized support for families facing adversity. Training and technical assistance (T/TA) will be delivered to Head Start and Early Head Start agencies, state child care agencies, and in other early care and education settings across regions, states, tribes, and territories. In addition, the Center will maximize the use of previously developed, web-based materials and resources that are consistent with OHS and OCC national priorities. The Center will work collaboratively and cooperatively with the other national OHS and OCC T/TA Centers and with ACF&amp;apos;s regional offices. Because of the complex work the Center will conduct, the grantee will be expected to bring together a partnership and/or consortium of knowledgeable partners within the field of parent, family, and community engagement. The Center&amp;#8217;s work should be research/evidence informed as well as practical in application by way of training and technical assistance within the field of parent, family and community engagement.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#65533;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS Project Title Cultural Resources, Disaster Resiliency, and Climate Uncertainty Study Recipient University of Florida Principle Investigator / Program Manager Thomas T. Ankersen Total Anticipated Award Amount $30,000.00 Cost Share none New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement H5000105040 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 6/30/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 6/30/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 100703 and 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative research and training programs &amp;#65533; resources of NPS and CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW CESU Cooperative Agreement Number H5000105040 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, (NPS), and the University of Florida to assist in providing research, technical assistance and education. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. Currently, most interactions between emergency management and historic resource personnel occur after a disaster. This is because the dispersal of federal disaster and hazard mitigation funding triggers federal historic preservation requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. State Historic Preservation Offices are required to incorporate disaster mitigation strategies into state historic preservation plans. The Cultural Resources, Disaster Resiliency, and Climate Uncertainty Study will produce federal, state and local policy recommendations, best practices, and case studies to assist states in developing disaster mitigation strategies into state historic preservation plans. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT University of Florida agrees to: 1) Characterize the legal and policy planning framework for hazard mitigation in Florida as it applies cultural resources. a. This includes a review of the State of Florida Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan (and its relation to &amp;#65533;local mitigation strategies&amp;#65533;), comprehensive planning and land development regulation and building codes). b. This will also include a review of the policy framework for cultural resource planning and extent to which hazard mitigation is considered in planning tools such as the statewide historic preservation plan, local preservation plans and related policy instruments. 2) Identify opportunities to enhance the potential for hazard mitigation of cultural resources through these hazard mitigation and cultural resources policy planning processes. 3) Describe the relationship between sea level rise adaptation policy (retreat, accommodation and protection) and flood hazard mitigation policy as these policy frameworks apply to the management of cultural resources. 4) Identify and describe examples where cultural resources have been fully integrated into hazard mitigation planning processes. (Case Studies/Best practices; not limited to Florida). 5) Identify and describe examples where cultural resources have been successfully mitigated. (Case Studies/Best practices; not limited to Florida). 6) Describe the relationship between the FEMA community rating system and local government cultural resource management. a. Identify opportunities for existing leverage, if any, and where CRS reform would be required to receive special or additional credit for cultural resource mitigation policies and practices. 7) Work directly with one Florida community (Fernandina Beach) with nationally significant cultural resources to more fully integrate cultural resources into flood and SLR hazard mitigation planning. This approach will include working with the community to: 1) organize documentation &amp;amp; related resources, 2) assess risks; 3) develop a mitigation plan. 8) Based on the research described above, and lessons learned from direct community engagement, draft a guidance document for Florida communities to better integrate cultural resources into hazard mitigation planning at the state and local level. 9) Conduct a workshop for key cultural resource and emergency management stakeholders to present the research and get feedback on the draft guidance document. 10) Incorporate feedback into final guidance document 11) Provide recommendations for policy reform identified through the research and community engagement process NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: [The activities / responsibilities that constitute substantial involvement on the part of the NPS must be stated here. This statement should reproduce the language to be incorporated within the cooperative agreement] A. NPS agrees to agrees to 1. Collaborate with the University of Florida in developing the &amp;#65533;Cultural Resources, Disaster Resiliency, and Climate Uncertainty Study&amp;#65533; content and outreach that deal with NPS cultural resources programs. 2. Participate in working groups with the University of Florida and its partners to develop the final guidance document that will include recommendations for policy reform identified through the research and community engagement. 3. Work with the University of Florida to identify communities and partner organizations to ensure that a broad range of partners have a chance to participate in the study. 4. Work with the University of Florida to develop, edit, and distribute findings and publications to promote cultural resource disaster resiliency to preservation organizations throughout the country.

        <Description>Through this Addendum to the FY2014-2015 Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. APS-OAA-14-000001 (the GDA APS), the Bureau for Food Security (USAID/BFS) is making a special call for the submission of Concept Papers focused on working with the private sector to revitalize the agricultural sector and livelihoods affected by the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, with a preference for the three most affected countries of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The Feed the Future Ebola Recovery Partnership will engage and mobilize the expertise, infrastructures and resources of the private sector, foundations, and other partners, including in-country partners, to achieve a rapid and robust recovery from the Ebola outbreak and foster broad-based food security in the short, medium and long term. The Feed the Future Ebola Recovery Partnership will leverage the in-country knowledge, networks and institutions of these partners, as well as financial and in-kind resources, to design and implement activities that advance the three key objectives of: (1) restoring food production and availability; (2) increasing economic access by supporting food security-related small and medium enterprises to reclaim and grow their businesses; and (3) raising the nutritional security of consumers so that they are less vulnerable to shocks or short term food crises. Ideally, the portfolio of alliances and activities supported under this addendum will enable USAID to ensure that each of the above objectives is advanced. However, priority will be placed on supporting the most promising approaches, even if the resulting portfolio only advances one or two of the objectives described above. Unless otherwise stated herein, all terms and conditions of the FY2014-2015 GDA APS apply (http://www.usaid.gov/work-usaid/get-grant-or-contract/opportunities-funding/global-development-alliance-annual-program). </Description>

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AC00713 Project Title GLRI93: Three Month Youth Team &amp;#8211; Wetland Restoration Recipient WisCorps, Inc Total Anticipated Award Amount $60,000 &amp;#8211; Not to Exceed Cost Share $20,000 Anticipated Length of Agreement 12 months Anticipated Period of Performance 3 months Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1721-1729 Public Land Corps (PLC) CFDA # and Title 15.931 Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation (4) Unique Qualifications Point of Contact Daniel Mason; Botanist; Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore OVERVIEW Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is a National Park surrounded by an urban/industrial complex. In the mid twentieth century, actions to remove wetlands from the dunes adjacent to southern Lake Michigan which included lands of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore were initiated. These actions resulted in thousands of acres of wetland being removed from northwest Indiana. Wetland provides numerous ecosystem services including habitat for rare plants, waterfowl and other life forms. Therefore, it is desired to restore historic wetland to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Work efforts will focus on restoration and enhancement of approximately 300 acres. Objectives of the work effort are eradication of invasive species and establishment of native plant assemblages. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The youth team will conduct habitat management activities associated with wetland restoration actions. Wetland restoration work will include plant propagation, plant installation, seed collection and site preparation. Site preparation work will include herbicide applications and the use of tools and operating equipment such as hand saws, loppers, pruners, sprayers, and brush cutters to remove undesirable plants. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Resource management team members conducting Great Marsh restoration will provide support in the form of provision of the necessary knowledge and tools necessary to accomplish the desired restoration tasks. For each restoration task and site location, a member of the resource management team will work with the youth team until the youth team has gain comfort and competence in task execution. All safety issues pertaining to wetland work and use of equipment in wetlands will be discussed in detail. Contact information and communications pertaining to site location in case of an accidental injury will be provided. Daily communications will take place with the youth team leader concerning work actions and needs. </Description>

        <Description>MODIFICATION In Section II. Federal Award Information the Award Ceiling and Award Floor amounts remain the same but are changed to be PER BUDGET PERIOD. This FOA is also modified to extend the application due date to August 3, 2015. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces the availability of approximately 2 million dollars to be competitively awarded for the purpose of operating a National Center on Afterschool and Summer Enrichment. The National Center will develop and disseminate high-quality, research-informed-resources and provide training and technical assistance (T/TA) to states, territories and Tribes to support expanded access to and supply of high quality afterschool and summer programs that foster children&amp;#8217;s development and learning, especially for low-income children and families. The Center will work with the Office of Child Care (OCC) to design and implement a work plan that includes, but is not limited to, working with CCDF agencies and their state and local partners to identify needs and best practices that will help them expand quality learning opportunities for school-age children; supporting state implementation of new health, safety, and quality provisions in the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014, as appropriate in school age care settings; identifying and promoting family engagement approaches that positively involve parents in afterschool and summer programs; and coordinating with early childhood and school-age stakeholder groups and other federal programs to maximize effective service delivery models. The National Center on Afterschool and Summer Enrichment will be awarded as part of a group of six National Centers. T/TA will be delivered to state child care agencies, and other early care and education settings across regions, States, tribes and territories. In addition, the National Center will maximize the use of previously developed web-based material and resources that are consistent with OCC&amp;#8217;s missions. The National Center will work collaboratively and cooperatively with OCC National T/TA Centers and ACF regional offices. Because of the complex work the National Center will conduct, the grantee is encouraged to bring together a consortium of knowledgeable partners within the field of school-age care and summer learning. The National Center&amp;#8217;s work should be research/evidence-informed as well as practical in application, by way of T/TA within the field of school-age care and summer learning.</Description>

Complete information, including the full RFI, can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. The Wind and Water Power Technologies Office (WWPTO) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gain public input regarding the implementation of the 2011 report, A National Offshore Wind Strategy: Creating an Offshore Wind Energy Industry in the United States, and key challenges currently facing the offshore wind energy community in the United States. Information sought under this RFI is intended to assist the WWPTO in its strategic approach to pursing the paths forward presented in the 2015 Wind Vision: A New Era for Wind Power in the United States report. WWPTO seeks input from any stakeholders in the broader U.S. offshore wind energy community. Feedback is solicited from stakeholders in the offshore wind energy community on issues related to the Wind and Water Power Technology Office&amp;#8217;s strategic approach to facilitating the development of offshore wind energy in the United States. Specifically the WWPTO seeks to better understand the relative value of Technology Advancement, Market Barrier Removal, and Crosscutting Activities as well as a broader strategic view of the WWPTO portfolio. To maintain continuity with prior efforts, the RFI references projects carried out subsequent to the National Offshore Wind Strategy, as well as actions recommended in the Wind Vision Report. </Description>

        <Description>Because more than half of all species currently listed as endangered or threatened spend at least part of their life cycle on privately-owned lands, the Service recognizes that success in conserving species will ultimately depend on working cooperatively with landowners, communities, and tribes to foster voluntary stewardship efforts on private lands. States and Territories (hereafter, &amp;quot;States&amp;quot;) play a key role in catalyzing these efforts. A variety of tools are available under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to help States and landowners plan and implement projects to conserve species. The CESCF provides grants to States to participate in a wide array of voluntary conservation projects for candidate, listed, and recently recovered species. This Funding Opportunity pertains only to Region 3 &amp;#65533;Traditional&amp;#65533; Conservation Grants. The &amp;#65533;Traditional&amp;#65533; Conservation Grants program provides financial assistance to States to implement conservation projects for candidate, listed, and recently recovered species. Funded activities include habitat restoration, species status surveys, public education and outreach, captive propagation and reintroduction, nesting surveys, genetic studies, and development of management plans. The CESCF programs are authorized through Endangered Species Act of 1973, 16 U.S.C. 1531 - 1534 et seq., as amended. The codified program regulations can be found at 50 CFR 81. </Description>

        <Description>During President Obama&amp;#8217;s historic visit to India in January 2015, the President and Prime Minister Modi released a joint statement that included a mutual call to address climate change and better protect the environment. In the statement, our leaders recognized that global climate change is a profound threat to humanity and to the imperatives of sustainable development, growth, and the eradication of poverty. Both countries share a deep concern for better protection of the planet and understand that concerted action is needed on both sides. In order to inform audiences, particularly students, about the threat of climate change, environmental challenges, and options for greener development, the U.S Mission to India is searching for a grantee to produce a ten-episode, English-language massively open online course (MOOC) on environmental protection and climate change, using the expertise of Indian alumni of U.S. exchange programs. The MOOC also will inform U.S. audiences about environmental challenges in India and novel solutions being implemented by government and civil society. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the impact of fossil fuel use on global warming, water conservation, alternative energy, and deforestation. The content will be made available to students and across Mission India&amp;#8217;s social media platforms. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), Midwest Region, intends to issue a Single Source Cooperative Agreement Award without competition to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (Commission) to support a Strategic Aquatic Habitat Connectivity Coordinator (Strategic Coordinator) for an Aquatic Habitat Connectivity Collaborative (Collaborative) established under the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes Landscape Conservation Cooperative (UMGL LCC). The UMGL LCC steering committee approved $60,000 in LCC funds to support the Commission in hosting the position and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has directed an equal amount to the Commission. The Commission has a statutory basin-wide and bi-national fisheries coordination role and a long history of building strong relationships with fisheries managers in the region through their coordination and support of the various Lake Committees, and they also have been central to the discussions and decisions made over aquatic habitat connectivity for many years. No other organization has this combination of expertise, relationships, geographic coverage, and mission.</Description>

PMFO will also assist organizations to implement and enhance the infrastructure necessary to support a well-managed system of early care and education. Because of the complex nature of the proposed project PMFO will be expected to bring together a consortium of knowledgeable partners within the field of program management and fiscal operations. PMFO&amp;apos;s work should be research/evidence informed as well as practical in application by way of training and technical assistance within the field of program management and fiscal operations.</Description>

        <Description>This FOA is modified to extend the application due date to Thursday, July 23, 2015 to avoid the Grants.gov scheduled maintenance beginning at 12:01 AM EDT on Saturday July 18, 2015 until Monday, July 20, 2015 at 6:00 AM EDT. The title of this announcement has changed to the &amp;#8220;National Center on Early Childhood Health and Wellness.&amp;#8221; The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS) in partnership with the Office of Child Care (OCC), and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)/Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB)/Division of Home Visiting and Early Childhood Systems (DHVECS) announces the availability of an estimated $6,682,500 to be competitively awarded for a National Center on Early Childhood Health and Wellness (NCECHW). The NCECHW will disseminate high-quality, research-informed resources and will provide training and technical assistance (T/TA) to Head Start and Early Head Start agencies, state child care agencies, and other early care and education settings across regions, states, tribes and territories. The resources and T/TA will address services to pregnant women and the health, safety and school readiness of infants, toddlers, and preschool children (from birth to age five). The NCECHW will provide resources and T/TA that promote the health and developmental potential of children and families in the United States in order to get them school ready and live healthy, productive, and happy lives. In addition, the NCECHW will provide resources and T/TA in order to: Improve the health and safety of Early Care and Education (ECE) settings; Promote positive child health outcomes for children participating in ECE programs; Increase preventive services related to health outcomes; Promote access to continuous, accessible health services for children and families; and Promote mental wellness and resiliency for staff, children, pregnant women and families; and Strengthen networks and coordination of ECE programs and child health professionals. In addition, the NCECHW will maximize the use of previously developed, web-based materials and resources that are consistent with OHS, OCC, and HRSA/MCHB national priorities. The NCECHW will work collaboratively and cooperatively with the other OHS and OCC National T/TA Centers and ACF&amp;#8217;s regional offices. Because of the complex work the NCECHW will conduct, they are encouraged to bring together a parntership and/or a consortium of knowledgeable partners within the field of early childhood health and wellness. The work of the NCECHW should be research/evidence informed as well as practical in application by way of training and technical assistance within the field of early childhood health and wellness.</Description>

        <Description>Mumbai is home to some of India&amp;#8217;s leading universities, and the management and engineering programs available to students here are first-rate. In addition to training the next generation of business, technological and medical leaders, there is a need to train the next generation of Indian thinkers on foreign policy and security issues. India is playing an increasingly-active role in regional and global affairs, as evidenced, for example, by evacuating citizens from Yemen and providing much-needed assistance to Nepal following a devastating earthquake in April 2015. As India increases its regional and global engagement, the rising generation of Indian leaders will benefit from access to focused security studies. Currently, there are few if any dedicated security studies programs at western India academic institutions. The U.S. Consulate General Mumbai seeks to support a U.S. university-Indian university partnership to develop a one-year certificate program in international security studies. The ideal partner will be a U.S. university with a recognized security studies program, or institution with a record of developing security studies programs. The U.S. Consulate General Mumbai will complement the academic course with guest lectures as possible from visiting speakers, U.S. officials, and resident expertise in the Consulate and Embassy. Through this program, we hope to enhance educational ties and to better prepare emerging Indian scholars and practitioners for India&amp;#8217;s growing role in regional and global affairs.</Description>

        <Description>Background: The BLM and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) have a long history of working together, and have a continued mutual interest in managing fish species and their respective habitats around the state. This work is intended to be a continuation of the surveys that have been ongoing from 2010-2015, and is intended to increase respective knowledge bases regarding native fish in Oregon. This joint effort will result in improved coordination of fish conservation efforts with other entities throughout the state, including the US Forest Service, local Tribes, and/or private landowners. These efforts will be broken down into 2 categories: 1) resurvey of habitats previously surveyed by ODFW (using similar protocols) to gather data on habitat and population trends, and 2) new surveys (using ODFW protocol) focused on collecting information for species of mutual interest, in the following categories: Those listed under the Endangered Species Act; Those species on the BLM&amp;#65533;s Special Status Species List, or species that are considered rare or highly localized - for which there is little existing information. Objectives: To continue to collect data regarding the distribution, abundance, habitat needs, and population trends of native fish species found on or near BLM-managed lands in Oregon. The recipient agrees to: Submit copies of all field data, Submit a report summarizing and interpreting data collection results Submit copies of all GIS data for incorporation into the BLM&amp;apos;s Fisheries databases. </Description>

        <Description>MODIFICATION This FOA is modified to extend the application due date to Thursday, July 23, 2015 to avoid the Grants.gov scheduled maintenance beginning at 12:01 AM EDT on Saturday July 18, 2015 until Monday, July 20, 2015 at 6:00 AM EDT. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Child Care (OCC), in partnership with the Office of Head Start (OHS) and the Health Resources &amp;amp; Services Administration (HRSA), announces the availability of up to $3,200,000 to be competitively awarded for a National Center for Early Childhood Quality Assurance (the National Center). The National Center will disseminate high-quality, research-informed/evidence-based resources and provide training and technical assistance to states, territories and tribes to support the implementation of rigorous health, safety and licensing standards. The National Center&amp;#8217;s work will include, but not be limited to, providing training and technical assistance (T/TA) to promote best practices that support the infrastructure of an Early Care and Education (ECE) quality improvement framework, including Quality Rating Improvement Systems (QRIS), that are built on the foundation of strong licensing and health and safety standards; and supporting partnerships that align quality improvement efforts across all ECE settings (child care, Head Start, and Pre-K) to move programs to a level of quality that ensures safety, healthy development and school success for all children birth to school age (through age 12). T/TA will be delivered to state child care agencies, Head Start/Early Head Start agencies, and other early care and education settings across regions, States, tribes and territories. In addition, the National Center will maximize the use of previously developed web-based material and resources that are consistent with OHS and OCC national priorities. The National Center will work collaboratively and cooperatively with the other OHS and OCC National T/TA Centers and ACF regional offices. Because of the complex work the National Center will conduct, the grantee is encouraged to bring together and manage a consortium of knowledgeable partners within the field of early childhood quality assurance. The National Center&amp;#8217;s work will be research-informed/evidence-based as well as practical in application by way of training and technical assistance within the field of early childhood quality assurance.</Description>

        <Description>One of the high-priority research areas identified by the EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) is stormwater runoff. Under the 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act (CWA), the EPA established a program to address storm water discharges including the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program which regulates point sources such as pipes and sewers that discharge directly into surface waters. Under the CWA, communities need to address stormwater management requirements as they consider their aging water infrastructure systems, rate payer expectations, and other considerations important to the community. Green infrastructure is an emerging technology with much potential to help many communities. Research is needed to assist communities throughout the United States in evaluating whether to invest in green infrastructure that can improve stormwater management in multiple ways, including reducing the volume of stormwater entering the sewer system to decrease the costs of grey infrastructure updates, and by managing stormwater runoff as a resource, not a waste, to enhance scarce water supplies. The EPA currently supports a number of research grants from previous solicitations on performance and effectiveness of green infrastructure. Information regarding current and prior research can be found on ORD&amp;#8217;s National Center for Environmental Research (NCER) web site.</Description>

        <Description>This project is for BLM to work with a University to conserve and restore biotic soil crusts biocrusts, which are a major source of environmental stability and stabilization for sequestration and cycling of carbon and nitrogen in plants and soils. While the scientific understanding of biocrusts has increased greatly in the last decade, research has outstripped the capacity of managers to apply new information into decision making for making arid and semi-arid ecosystems more efficient for these essential ecological processes. As yet, no standardized method or metric exists for evaluating the ecological significance of biocrust communities at particular sites or land units. This project will test in the field one or more quality indices for biocrust function. Results from this project will determine whether individual indices or a suite of indices have broad applicability in the evaluation of ecosystem function of biocrust communities in diverse desert landscapes in BLM southern California desert wilderness areas. Development and testing of metrics will have immediate value to land managers by providing them with a practical, easy, unbiased, and quantitative means of evaluating and monitoring biocrusts to inform restoration, enhancement, and conservation measures of biocrusts.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the manual will be to introduce the practice and the science of using natural methods of flood mitigation on a community or municipality level. It is hoped that these methods can be scaled-up amongst neighboring communities for a multiplicative benefit to the watershed in an integrated manner. Several documents exist online and in print discussing some of the concepts OFDA envisions being incorporated, but no specific guidance exists to assist communities and practitioners in understanding what natural flood management is, how to implement mitigation measures at a local level, and how to address any pitfalls/conflicts associated with such interventions. </Description>

        <Description>Project Title: Urban Archeology Corps (UAC) The Urban Archeology Corps provides youth with an immersive experience in archeology and cultural resource stewardship. The UAC engages partners and communities in the shared environmental stewardship of archeological resources. It promotes greater public and private participation in archeology while building resource stewardship ethics in youth. Products created by the UAC will be shared through community events and social media to increase public awareness, knowledge, and support for archeological resources and stewardship of the nation&amp;#65533;s cultural and historical heritage. The UAC&amp;#65533;s principal purpose is to support the Government&amp;#65533;s objective to provide opportunities for youth to learn about the cultural environment by spending time working on projects in National Parks. The project motivates its youth participants to become involved in the archeological protection of their communities and beyond. Youth employed in the UAC gain hands-on experience outside of the classroom in archeological projects by working in a variety of NPS divisional tasks. As a result, the UAC assists in the creation, promotion, facilitation, and/or improvement of the public&amp;#65533;s understanding of archeology and public lands as they relate to urban communities. </Description>

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development/Zimbabwe (USAID/Zimbabwe) presents the Zimbabwe Assistance Program in Malaria (ZAPIM), an award for an implementing partner to provide comprehensive support for, and collaborative partnership with, the Zimbabwe National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) and to support the NMCP&amp;#8217;s established strategy and goals. The overall objective of this health intervention is to contribute to attainment of the USAID Mission&amp;#8217;s 4th Development Objective - reducing morbidity and mortality related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Tuberculosis (TB), Malaria, and Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH). This activity will support the two intermediate results outlined in the Mission&amp;#8217;s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS), Intermediate Result 4.1 health services delivery is improved, and Intermediate Result 4.2 health systems are strengthened. There are five key objectives of ZAPIM envisioned by USAID that aim to strengthen the capacity of the NMCP at national, provincial, district, and/or community levels. These objectives are defined as having been successful in malaria control guidance by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the President&amp;#8217;s Malaria Initiative (PMI). However, in the interest of opening the door to innovation and advancement, responders to the ZAPIM notice of funding opportunity (NFO) are invited to expand upon this package in new and inventive ways to support NMCP. 1) Promote quality malaria case management and prevention of malaria during pregnancy (MIP), specifically at health facilities but also with other cadres at the community level as indicated by NMCP priorities. 2) Formulate evidence-based national health policies, strategies, systems, and programs to prevent malaria through distribution, ownership, and correct, consistent, and increased use of long-lasting insecticide treated nets. 3) Develop and implement innovative and effective a social behavior change communication program to improve the prevention and treatment of malaria. 4) Support malaria surveillance, monitoring and evaluation, and operational research activities in conjunction with national malaria programs and other partners to assess the efficacy / effectiveness of currently deployed malaria control tools. 5) Conduct quality therapeutic efficacy trials together with the Ministry of Health and Child Care and partners on artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) medicines to monitor malaria drug resistance, a critical, sentinel task for Zimbabwe and for all malarious areas worldwide. USAID anticipates awarding one cooperative agreement with a five-year period of performance. Applicants are encouraged to consider partnerships with relevant organizations with high-quality skills in malaria epidemiology, social and behavior change communications, monitoring and evaluation, surveillance, operational research, and drug therapeutic efficacy assessment. Subject to the availability of funding, USAID/Zimbabwe expects ZAPIM to receive an authorized funding level of $20 million dollars over the five-year period. Funding will be planned and allocated through the PMI annual malaria operational plan (MOP) process. MOP14 and MOP15 have already planned for some initial funding for ZAPIM. </Description>

        <Description>Climate change is affecting caribou populations by altering the quality of growing season habitats in the Arctic. Current declines of caribou on the North Slope are amplifying concerns of climate-mediated effects on habitat quality, yet, the direction and magnitude of realized effects for this species are uncertain. The ability of caribou populations to remain abundant in the Arctic will depend, in part, on the resilience of individuals to survive and reproduce despite environmental changes. The USGS, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and the National Park Service will initiate studies to determine the nutritional and reproductive consequences of space use and habitat selection and how climate changes over the next 50 years may alter these factors for adult female caribou. A sample of 30 adult females in the Central Arctic was fitted with GPS-collars in April 2015 and will be recaptured each October and April to determine to nutritional performance (body mass and condition) over each of the 4 growing seasons. Each year, their offspring will be radiocollared shortly after birth and their survival monitored throughout each growing season to assess reproductive demands and performance of the GPS-collared females. Based on the nutritional and reproductive performance and movements of these individuals, we will evaluate consequences of space use and habitat selection of individual females throughout the growing season. Ultimately, we will estimate the capacity of free-ranging reproductive females to cope with the projected effects of climatic shifts on their growing season habitats. </Description>

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development in Zimbabwe (USAID/Zimbabwe) is seeking applications for the Zimbabwe HIV Care and Treatment (HCT) Mechanism. The over-arching strategic objective of the new HIV Care and Treatment Mechanism will be to increase the availability, and to improve the quality, of care and support services for persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA), primarily through non-government organization (NGO) channels. For this new activity, the NGO community is defined as any non-governmental or non-parastatal organization, either non-profit or for-profit and may include faith-based or commercial entities. Although working primarily through (but not limited to) non-governmental organizations, the HCT Mechanism is expected to contribute to Zimbabwe&amp;#8217;s national objectives in the health and education sectors while complementing public sector efforts to improve and expand the availability of critical services oriented to the mitigation of HIV and AIDS in the country. The main goals of the HCT mechanism are (1) to increase the availability of high quality comprehensive care and treatment services for HIV-positives at community level and (2) to strengthen community-level health systems to monitor, track and maintain persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) in care. In working toward these goals, the HCT mechanism also is expected to have two key objectives: 1) expand the availability of HIV care and treatment services; and, 2) improve the quality and range of HIV care and treatment services that are offered through NGO-operated facilities, outreach services to and at the community level. The main activities envisioned include: expanding care and treatment services for HIV-positive individuals; psychosocial support services; nutrition counseling; antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence counseling; family planning counseling and service delivery; tuberculosis (TB) symptom screening; training and technical support for PLWHA support groups and their members; and referrals to other clinical services (such as TB diagnosis and treatment, treatment of opportunistic infections and ART in public sector hospitals, etc.). Depending on the availability of funds, USAID/Zimbabwe expects the mechanism to have a total, life-of-mechanism funding level of up to $35 million and an implementation life of 5 years. The majority of the anticipated funding is expected from the annual PEPFAR Country Operational Plan (COP). In the first year of the award, funding may be made available in two phases, with $1.54 million anticipated in the first phase and up to $3 million in the second phase. In 2014, PEPFAR announced it would be prioritizing resources worldwide on HIV care and treatment in order to achieve more rapid progress on controlling the epidemic in affected countries. Implementation activities through the HCT mechanism will be one of the means through which USAID will support future progress in HIV care and treatment in Zimbabwe. </Description>

        <Description>The PCRP Physician Research Training Award mechanism was first offered in FY03. Since then, 175 Physician Research Training Award applications have been received, and 75 have been recommended for funding. The Physician Research Training Award supports a mentored training experience to prepare physicians with clinical duties and/or responsibilities for productive careers in prostate cancer research. This award emphasizes equally the quality of both the research and the training proposed. The trainee is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) of the application. All applications for the Physician Research Training Award are to be written by the PI, with appropriate direction from the mentor(s). The PI must demonstrate a commitment to a career as an investigator at the forefront of prostate cancer research and clinical practice; however, the PI is not required to have previous prostate cancer research experience. Applications must include a robust description of an individualized, prostate cancer-focused training plan that will provide the PI with experience in key areas relevant to the proposed work and will foster the PI&amp;#8217;s development as a prostate cancer researcher. PIs who already possess extensive training and/or experience in cancer research may not be viewed as fitting the intent of this award mechanism. This award requires the involvement of at least one designated mentor with an established research program in prostate cancer, evidenced by recent publications, active funding, and successful mentorship. The PI and mentor(s) should work together to design robust training and mentoring plans, which may include coursework, laboratory techniques, conferences, seminars, journal clubs, teaching responsibilities, clinical responsibilities, grant writing, and/or other activities appropriate to the area of study. Training plans are expected to prepare physicians for careers in basic, population science, translational, or clinical research. In addition, applicants are expected to address at least one of the PCRP focus areas and are strongly encouraged to address one of the PCRP overarching challenges. If the proposed project does not address any of the overarching challenges, the application should include a description to justify how the project will nevertheless address a critical need in the field of prostate cancer research and/or patient care. The award is intended to provide aggressive protection of at least 40% of the PI&amp;#8217;s time for prostate cancer research. In addition, salary for up to a 50% combined level of effort from no more than two key support personnel may be provided by this award. Up to $15,000 in funds per year from this award may be used for research supplies, but may not be used to support costs for studies with laboratory animals, human biological substances, human subjects, or to support clinical trials. PIs may participate in clinical trials as part of their training, but funding for such clinical trials must come from sources other than this award.</Description>

        <Description>I. The purpose of this amendment is to make the Letter of Intent to Apply optional. Due to DOE&amp;#146;s concerns about the dissemination of the new requirements imposed by Amendment 002, Letters of Intent will not be required for eligibility to apply to the BRIDGE FOA. Amendment 003 supersedes Amendment 002. However, DOE requests that applicants submit a Letter of Intent as soon as possible to assist the DOE in planning the merit review. The full application deadline for BRIDGE continues to be 05/21/2012, 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Bridging Research Interactions through Collaborative Development Grants in Energy (BRIDGE) is a new program that intends to support the SunShot Initiative by increasing the depth and breadth of expertise being applied to PV and CSP technology challenges. The BRIDGE program will employ a two-part linking approach to effectively develop U.S. capability in PV and CSP device and system design. First, BRIDGE will support the development of new Collaborative Research Teams (CRTs) of researchers who share coherent scientific goals and diverse but complementary theoretical, computational and/or experimental approaches. In addition, BRIDGE will encourage CRTs to explore opportunities to leverage existing DOE assets and expertise housed within the DOE Basic Energy Sciences (BES) Scientific User Facilities, the DOE Biological and Environmental Sciences (BER)Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) and Advanced Scientific Computing Research facilities (ASCR). The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE Exchange website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE Exchange website.

        <Description>The proposed agreement would incorporate the terms and conditions of the one of the following CESU Cooperative and Joint Venture Agreements -Californian master agreement L13AC00082- to which the Bureau of Land Management is a party: Californian, Desert Southwest, and Great Basin. The established Network overhead charge is set at 17.5 percent. Prospective universities and non-governmental research organizations with membership in either of these three CESUs are eligible to apply for funding under this announcement. The BLM requires short- and long-term ground disturbance associated with renewable energy projects constructed on public lands to be restored. Lands next to facilties and disturbed only during the short construction period are to be restored once project construction is complete. These lands are important as laboratories for developing and testing technologies to reestablish ecological functions, biological composition, and visual appearance of Mojave and Sonoran Desert lands in the future. In this way the BLM and other land managers can build institutional capacity for restoring and adapting disturbed desert lands as climate changes so that managers will be able to reengineer the industrial landscapes at renewable energy installations toward functioning natural systems if public land use for renewable energy production should change in the long run.</Description>

        <Description>USAID envisions a program that supports countries to build strong health systems and economies in order to achieve their priority health goals by addressing their health workforce needs. A very broad definition of &amp;#8220;health workforce&amp;#8221; will be applied, including anyone whose functioning is needed to run and support the health system. It moves beyond traditional cadres of health care workers, such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, midwives and community health workers (CHWs), to include new clinical cadres, non-clinical cadres such as medical shop keepers and traditional healers, health managers, the supply chain workforce, the social welfare workforce, and others throughout the public and private sectors. The program will engage on the global level to advance technical and policy dialogue on HRH and support implementation of a globally defined strategy through tailored country-level technical assistance that meets context-specific priorities for local human resource and health systems. In doing so, it will address HRH issues across all levels of the health system while also aligning with the health workforce needs for family planning (FP), reproductive health (RH), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), maternal and child health (MCH) and other health areas in priority countries. It will address overarching issues of leadership, governance and financing that impact country level planning, recruitment, development, deployment and support of the health workforce. The focus on building capacity and country ownership for the health workforce will contribute to the sustainability of investment and make a lasting contribution to achieving health goals. To further address sustainability, it will contribute significantly to supporting efforts to enhance the accountability for HRH both locally and globally. In five years, this effort will demonstrate measurable progress toward health workforce goals and its impact in supporting achievement of health priorities in the post-2015 agenda. To support countries in developing the sufficient, fit-for-purpose and fit-to-practice health workforce needed to end preventable child and maternal deaths by 2035, increase access to modern contraceptive methods, and achieve and maintain an AIDS-free generation, the project will have as its goal to improve the accessibility, availability, acceptability and quality of the health workforce needed to achieve improved health outcomes and advance universal health coverage. It will move beyond simply increasing the number of workers, to address issues of distribution, skill mix, competencies, key workforce characteristics, leadership and governance and the sustainable systems needed to support the health workforce.</Description>

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters has released a solicitation, titled Early Stage Innovations (ESI), as an appendix to the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) umbrella NASA Research Announcement (NRA) titled &amp;quot;Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015), on May 20, 2015. The solicitation is available by opening the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ , selecting &amp;quot;Solicitations,&amp;quot; then selecting &amp;quot;Open Solicitations,&amp;quot; and, finally, selecting &amp;quot;Early Stage Innovations (ESI).&amp;#8221; This Appendix seeks proposals on specific space technologies that are currently at low Technology Readiness Levels (TRL). Investment in innovative low-TRL research increases knowledge and capabilities in response to new questions and requirements, stimulates innovation, and allows more creative solutions to problems constrained by schedule and budget. Moreover, it is investment in fundamental research activities that has historically benefited the Nation on a broader basis, generating new industries and spin-off applications. Our Nation&amp;#8217;s universities couple fundamental research with education, encouraging a culture of innovation based on the discovery of knowledge. Universities are, therefore, ideally positioned to both conduct fundamental space technology research and diffuse newly-found knowledge into society at large through graduate students and industrial, government, and other partnerships. STMD investments in space technology research at U.S. universities promote the continued leadership of our universities as an international symbol of the country&amp;apos;s scientific innovation, engineering creativity, and technological skill. This ESI Appendix challenges universities to examine the theoretical feasibility of new ideas and approaches that are critical to making science, space travel, and exploration more effective, affordable, and sustainable. The Space Technology Research Grants Program (STRG) Program within STMD is fostering the development of innovative, low-TRL technologies for advanced space systems and space technology. The goal of this low-TRL endeavor is to accelerate the development of groundbreaking, high-risk/high-payoff space technologies, not necessarily directed at a specific mission, to support the future space science and exploration needs of NASA, other government agencies, and the commercial space sector. Such efforts complement the other NASA Mission Directorates&amp;#8217; focused technology activities which typically begin at TRL 3 or higher. The starting TRL of the efforts to be funded as a result of this Appendix will be TRL 1 or TRL 2; typical end TRLs will be TRL 2 or TRL 3.

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Planning Grants for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (Short Title: CCBHCs Planning Grants). The purpose of this program is to support states to certify clinics as certified community behavioral health clinics (CCBHCs), establish prospective payment systems for Medicaid reimbursable services, and prepare an application to participate in a two year demonstration program. Populations to be served are adults with serious mental illness, children with serious emotional disturbance, and those with long term and serious substance use disorders, as well as others with mental illness and substance use disorders. On April 1, 2014, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (H.R. 4302) was enacted. The law included &amp;#8220;Demonstration Programs to Improve Community Mental Health Services at Section 223 of the Act. The program requires: (1) the establishment and publication of criteria for clinics to be certified by a state as a certified community behavioral health clinic (CCBHC) to participate in a demonstration program; (2) the issuance of guidance on the development of a Prospective Payment System (PPS) for testing during the demonstration program; and (3) the awarding of planning grants for the purpose of developing proposals to participate in a time-limited demonstration program. The overall goal is to evaluate demonstration programs in up to eight states that will establish CCBHCs according to specified criteria that will make them eligible for enhanced Medicaid funding through the PPS. SAMHSA is working collaboratively with the Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid &amp;amp; Services (CMS) and the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) to implement Section 223. SAMHSA developed the certification criteria found in the RFA in Appendix II - Criteria for the Demonstration Program to Improve Community Mental Health Centers and to Establish Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics. CMS prepared guidance to states to establish a prospective payment system, found in the RFA in Appendix III - Section 223 Demonstration Programs to Improve Community Mental Health Services Prospective Payment System (PPS) Guidance. ASPE will direct the national evaluation of the demonstration program. The awarding of CCBHCs Planning Grants is the first phase of a two-phase process. Phase I provides funds for one year to states to certify community behavioral health clinics, establish a PPS for Medicaid reimbursable behavioral health services provided by the certified clinics, and prepare an application to participate in a two-year demonstration program. CCBHC Planning Grantees must use the criteria found in Appendix II of the RFA to certify clinics in their states and follow the guidance found in Appendix III of the RFA to establish PPS. Up to eight states that participated in the CCBHC Planning Grants will be selected to participate in Phase II, the demonstration program. The eight selected states will bill Medicaid under an established PPS approved by CMS for behavioral health services provided to individuals eligible for medical assistance under the state Medicaid program. Planning Grants for CCBHCs are authorized under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, Section 223(c)(1). This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD and Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA and is in support of SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Recovery Support Strategic Initiative. </Description>

        <Description>The PCRP Postdoctoral Training Award mechanism was first offered as the Postdoctoral Traineeship Award in FY99 and was incorporated into the Prostate Cancer Training Award in FY06-FY10. In total, 1,575 Postdoctoral Training Award applications have been received, and 482 have been recommended for funding. The Postdoctoral Training Award supports prostate cancer research training opportunities for recent doctoral graduates. These awards primarily provide salary support for the Principal Investigator (PI); the postdoctoral trainee is considered the PI of the application. The PI must exhibit strong potential for, and commitment to, pursuing a career as an investigator at the forefront of prostate cancer research; however, the PI is not required to have previous prostate cancer research experience. Applications must include at least one mentor, appropriate to the proposed training and research project, who has experience in prostate cancer research and training as demonstrated by a record of active funding, recent publications, and successful mentorship. The selected mentor(s) should demonstrate a clear commitment to the PI&amp;#8217;s training and be well qualified to contribute significantly to the development of the PI toward independence as a prostate cancer researcher. The PI must outline an individualized, prostate cancer-focused training plan, which may include coursework, laboratory techniques, conferences, seminars, journal clubs, teaching responsibilities, clinical responsibilities, grant writing, and/or other activities that will provide the PI with experience in key areas relevant to the proposed work and foster the PI&amp;#8217;s development as an independent prostate cancer researcher. An environment appropriate to the proposed training and research project must be clearly described. If the PI is receiving postdoctoral training in the same environment where predoctoral training was received, the PI should provide a description of how the postdoctoral training is different from or additive to the predoctoral training. All applications for the Postdoctoral Training Award are to be written by the PI, with appropriate direction from the mentor(s). The PCRP seeks applications from investigators from a wide spectrum of disciplines including, but not limited to, basic science, engineering, bioinformatics, population science, translational research, and clinical research. Multidisciplinary projects and training are encouraged. In addition, applicants are expected to address at least one of the PCRP focus areas and are highly encouraged to address one of the PCRP overarching challenges. If the proposed project does not address any of the overarching challenges, the application should include a description to justify how the project will nevertheless address a critical need in the field of prostate cancer research and/or patient care.</Description>

        <Description>The PCRP Collaborative Undergraduate Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU1) Student Summer Training Program Award mechanism was first offered in FY04. Since then, 72 Collaborative Undergraduate HBCU Student Summer Training Program Award applications have been received, and 44 have been recommended for funding. The Collaborative Undergraduate HBCU Student Summer Training Program Award supports the training of the next generation of prostate cancer researchers. The intent of this award is to provide educational and training opportunities for undergraduate HBCU students at an important decision-making point in their careers. This award funds new or existing summer training programs in prostate cancer research for undergraduate students from HBCU at host institutions with ongoing prostate cancer research. Training programs are highly encouraged to include, among the projects proposed, exposure to and/or experiences in prostate cancer health disparity research. 1For purposes of this program announcement, the term &amp;#8220;HBCU&amp;#8221; is used to indicate a single institution or multiple institutions. The following are key aspects of this award: Program Director: The primary Principal Investigator (PI) submitting the application is designated as the Program Director. The Program Director&amp;#8217;s institution will host the summer training program and provide educational and training opportunities for undergraduate HBCU students. The Program Director and his/her institution must have a record of achievement in prostate cancer research and in research training. This person will collaborate with faculty advisors from the undergraduate trainees&amp;#8217; HBCU. If the Program Director&amp;#8217;s institution is an HBCU, then the undergraduate trainees must be recruited from a different HBCU. Although a single individual at the host institution must be clearly designated as the PI, it is expected that the application will name and describe the qualifications of multiple mentors in prostate cancer research. The mentor(s) must show a commitment to the undergraduate trainees&amp;#8217; HBCU through a plan to provide additional mentoring opportunities to participating trainees at the institution beyond the summer internship period. Applicants must enroll a minimum of four undergraduate HBCU trainees per year, who may be recruited from multiple HBCU. HBCU Undergraduate Student Trainee(s): The trainees in this program must be undergraduate students from an HBCU. If the Program Director&amp;#8217;s institution is an HBCU, then the undergraduate trainees must be recruited from a different HBCU. Trainees can be named or designated &amp;#8220;to be named&amp;#8221; (TBN) at the time of application submission; however, the criteria for selection of the trainees at the HBCU must be described in detail within the application&amp;#8217;s project narrative. Trainees must spend 8 to 12 weeks during the summer participating in the research program at the PI&amp;#8217;s host institution. HBCU Faculty Advisor(s): The HBCU faculty advisor(s) at the trainees&amp;#8217; institution(s) will collaborate with the Program Director at the host institution to select and mentor the trainees. The Faculty Advisor is also responsible for working with the Program Director to coordinate trainee activities during both the summer training program and throughout the corresponding academic year. Applications for this award should address the following key aspects for the proposed prostate cancer training program: &amp;#8226; The qualifications of the PI and other program faculty and staff who will serve as collaborating mentors, including their track records in training undergraduate students; &amp;#8226; The proposed training program for the undergraduate HBCU trainees at the PI&amp;#8217;s institution, including research projects, seminars/symposia, coursework, etc.; &amp;#8226; The plans for recruitment of undergraduate HBCU trainees and for continued interaction of the PI with the trainees beyond the summer internship period; &amp;#8226; The qualifications and roles of the faculty advisor(s) at the trainees&amp;#8217; HBCU, who will be responsible for working with the PI to coordinate trainee activities during both the summer training program and throughout the corresponding academic year. In addition, proposed training programs are expected to address at least one of the PCRP focus areas and are highly encouraged to address one of the PCRP overarching challenges. </Description>

        <Description>The PCRP Exceptional Responders Award (ERA) mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. This award supports a research effort conducted by leading prostate cancer researchers that specifically focuses on identifying and understanding predictors of disease outcomes in exceptional responders to prostate cancer therapies. Research projects proposed under the ERA can be either discovery or target-driven but must include an in-depth examination of outlier responses to prostate cancer therapy that will lead to significant improvements to the clinical management of prostate cancer. The research project should address overarching issues that have broad implications for the disease and risk management, such as risk factors at the individual level and systems level, treatment, toxicity, and dormancy. The research project should not focus merely on the study of specific molecular pathways or genes, but should be focused on identifying what is unique to exceptional responders, which may include biological, behavioral, or other lifestyle factors. It is expected that inclusion and exclusion criteria for identifying Exceptional Responders, including the specific type of therapy/therapies being addressed, will be clearly defined in the application. The PCRP encourages inclusion of any form of prostate cancer therapy that produces a disparate response in treated patients, although projects addressing exceptional responses to androgen deprivation therapies are particularly encouraged. All projects proposed for the ERA are required to address one of the PCRP overarching challenges and the PCRP focus area of Mechanisms of Resistance. However, it is expected that applications will address more than one focus area.</Description>

Chavez National Monument Proclamation. This agreement is for the purpose of supporting educational and interpretive opportunities for teachers, students, and the general public visiting the C&amp;#65533;sar E. Ch&amp;#65533;vez National Monument. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. The National Park Service has always enjoyed the favor of the American people. Parks have long been seen as critical to our nation as places for recreation, reflection, inspiration and conservation, but today the National Park Service is called to a more complex existence as it looks to create greater connections to what makes us uniquely American. Our cultural existence and heritage as human beings on this land is reflected in the sites protected by this great nation. Sites and stories, such as that of C&amp;#65533;sar Ch&amp;#65533;vez, connect and deepen our understanding of our natural and cultural heritage. They go beyond the surface of place to include not only the easy stories but also the difficult issues of our nation - past, present and future. Interpretation in the National Park Service&amp;#65533;s second century must ensure that ALL audiences have multiple opportunities for participatory, transformative experiences that promote stewardship and relevant, inclusive, and active learning. This project is designed to engage new audiences; connect teachers and students to the park as a venue for learning; bring resources into the classroom; and increase content knowledge about the life and legacy of C&amp;#65533;sar Ch&amp;#65533;vez, whose method of non-violent protest brought international attention to the working conditions of farm laborers. Through resource kits and exhibit enhancements, we hope to introduce the concepts of park ownership and stewardship; motivate teachers to bring students to the C&amp;#65533;sar E. Ch&amp;#65533;vez National Monument, and foster students&amp;#65533; connection to and interest in returning to the park with their families. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT National Ch&amp;#65533;vez Center agrees to: 1) Collaborate with the NPS in the planning, review, implementation, and evaluation of education and interpretive products. 2) Provide a liaison to the NPS for the purpose of accomplishing the work under this agreement. 3) Collaborate with the NPS to attempt to build a nation that is consciously aware of the critical nature of national parks in being the stewards of our American heritage. 4) To develop a Cesar Chavez Resource Toolkit (print and digital), design and fabricate two waysides, and enhance Visitor Center exhibits.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for fiscal year (FY) 2015 to support a single organization that will serve as the Coordination and Technical Assistance Center (CTAC) for a new initiative entitled Addressing HIV Care and Housing Coordination through Data Integration to Improve Health Outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum. Recognizing the role of housing in supporting Persons Living with HIV (PLWH), this initiative seeks to support the electronic integration of housing and HIV care data systems in the coordination of housing and HIV care services. A technology-based approach to improve the coordination of housing and HIV care services has the potential to improve health outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum,[1] especially among racial and ethnic minority PLWH who are unstably housed, at risk for, or experiencing homelessness.[2] Funding will be provided in the form of a cooperative agreement to support one (1) organization for up to three (3) years to provide technical assistance (TA) and capacity building to a minimum of four (4) performance sites. The CTAC will provide technical assistance (TA) to the performance sites in the design and implementation of the integrated data systems. In addition, the CTAC will conduct an evaluation of each integrated system and how it affects the provision of clinical practice in terms of provider acceptance, utilization, and in the coordination of housing and HIV care services to improve health outcomes along the HIV care continuum. The CTAC will select and fund the performance sites through subawards. Participating sites will fully collaborate with the CTAC in all aspects of the evaluation including the collection of relevant measures of housing and HIV services to properly assess the impact of the coordination of housing and HIV care.

The HPG program is a grant program which provides qualified public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, which may include but not be limited to Faith-Based and Community Organizations, and other eligible entities grant funds to assist very low- and low-income homeowners in repairing and rehabilitating their homes in rural areas. In addition, the HPG program assists rental property owners and cooperative housing complexes in repairing and rehabilitating their units if they agree to make such units available to low- and very low-income persons. This action is taken to comply with Agency regulations found in 7 CFR part 1944, subpart N, which require the Agency to announce the opening and closing dates for receipt of preapplications for HPG funds from eligible applicants. The intended effect of this Notice is to provide eligible organizations notice of these dates.</Description>

        <Description>The PCRP Impact Award mechanism was first offered in FY10. Since then, 42 Impact Award applications have been received, and 5 have been recommended for funding. The FY15 PCRP Impact Award encourages applications that support the full spectrum of research projects or ideas that specifically focus on scientific and clinical prostate cancer issues, which, if successfully addressed, have the potential to make a major impact in eliminating death from prostate cancer and enhancing the well-being of men experiencing the impact of the disease. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: The Impact Award is intended to support research that demonstrates the potential to have a major impact on an area of paramount importance in prostate cancer. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to clearly and explicitly describe the potential impact on prostate cancer and to convey its level of significance. Applicants are highly encouraged to address one of the PCRP overarching challenges, and are expected to address at least one of the PCRP focus areas. If the proposed project does not address any of the overarching challenges, the application should include a description to justify how the project will nevertheless address a critical need in the field of prostate cancer research and/or patient care. The Impact Award is intended to support the full spectrum of research ideas from basic to clinical research. Therefore, the potential impact of the proposed research may be near-term or long-term, but it must be significant and non-incremental. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, prostate cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. To maximize the potential for impact, investigators are strongly encouraged to incorporate the following components into their study design where appropriate: authentication of proposed cell lines; statistical rigor of preclinical animal experiments; incorporation of experiments to assess clinical relevance and translatability of findings. As such, the PCRP-funded Prostate Cancer Biorepository Network (PCBN) (http://www.prostatebiorepository.org) and/or the North Carolina &amp;#8211; Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP) (http://www.ncla-pcap.org) are important resources to consider if retrospectively collected human anatomical substances or correlated data are critical to the proposed studies. Studies utilizing data derived from large patient studies that include long-term health records, biospecimen repositories, and pre-existing research and that apply state-of-the art genomic and/or proteomic analysis, bioinformatics, and/or mathematical models to such data are also encouraged. Research Scope: The PCRP seeks applications from investigators from a wide spectrum of disciplines including, but not limited to, basic science, engineering, bioinformatics, population science, translational research, and clinical research, including clinical trials. Projects that incorporate population science-based approaches are particularly encouraged. Applications must include preliminary data to support feasibility of the study. Any unpublished, preliminary data provided should originate from the laboratory of the PI or a member(s) of the research team. Data- and Research Resource-Sharing Plan: It is the intent of the PCRP Impact Award that data and research resources generated by funded research activities be made available to the research community (which includes both scientific and consumer advocacy communities) and to the public at large. Each proposal should include a data- and/or research resource-sharing plan describing how unique and/or final research data will be shared, along with any resulting research resources. This information should be provided as the Data- and Research Resource-Sharing Plan as described in Section II.C., Application Submission Content and Form, of this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Refer also to the General Application Instructions, Appendix 4, for more information. Partnering PI Option: The FY15 Impact Award is offering a Partnering PI Option with a higher level of funding to support synergistic partnerships. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate up to a total of three PIs. One PI will be identified as the Initiating PI and will be responsible for the majority of the administrative tasks associated with application submission. The other PI(s) will be referred to as the Partnering PI(s). Initiating and Partnering PIs each have different submission requirements as described in Section II; however, all PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines. It is the responsibility of the collaborating investigators to describe how their combined expertise will combine and synergize to maximize the project&amp;#8217;s outcomes. If recommended for funding, each PI will receive his or her own award. To justify the higher funding level, the research project must be supported by the unique expertise, experience, and abilities of each PI, and the application must clearly define the synergistic components that will facilitate and accelerate progress in a way that could not be accomplished through independent efforts. Multidisciplinary projects are encouraged, and multi-institutional projects are allowed. Each proposed study must include clearly stated plans for interactions among all PIs and organizations involved. The plans must include communication, coordination of research progress and results, and data transfer. Additionally, multi-institutional applications must provide an intellectual property plan to resolve potential intellectual and material property issues and to remove institutional barriers that might interfere with achieving high levels of cooperation to ensure the successful completion of this award.</Description>

        <Description>The PCRP Health Disparity Research Award mechanism was first offered in FY01. Since then, 385 Health Disparity Research Award applications have been received, and 75 have been recommended for funding. The Health Disparity Research Award supports new ideas based on innovative concepts or methodologies for health disparity research with the potential to make an important contribution toward eliminating death from prostate cancer and enhancing the well-being of men impacted by the disease. Studies proposed for this award mechanism are expected to improve the understanding of, and ultimately contribute to eliminating disparities in prostate cancer incidence, morbidity, mortality, and survivorship. Applicants for this award must explicitly state how the proposed research is related to an area of prostate cancer health disparity. Appropriate health disparity areas include, but are not limited to, race and ethnicity; socioeconomic status; access to health care; differing standards of health care; insurance status; age; geography; sexual orientation; gender identity; and cultural beliefs. The PCRP seeks applications from investigators from a wide spectrum of disciplines including, but not limited to, basic science, engineering, bioinformatics, population science, translational research, and clinical research, provided they are appropriately focused on an issue of prostate cancer health disparity. In addition, all applications are expected to be relevant to one or more of the PCRP focus areas and are encouraged to be responsive to one of the PCRP overarching challenges. If the proposed project does not address one of the overarching challenges, the application must provide a description to justify how the project will nevertheless address a critical disparity-related need in the field of prostate cancer research and/or patient care. The Health Disparity Research Award also emphasizes the potential impact, both short-term and long-term, of the research project in reducing or eliminating prostate cancer health disparities. To maximize the potential for impact, investigators are strongly encouraged to incorporate the following components into their study design where appropriate: authentication of proposed cell lines; statistical rigor of preclinical animal experiments; incorporation of experiments to assess clinical relevance and translatability of findings. As such, the PCRP-funded Prostate Cancer Biorepository Network (PCBN) (http://www.prostatebiorepository.org) and/or the North Carolina &amp;#8211; Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP) (http://www.ncla-pcap.org) are important resources to consider if retrospectively collected human anatomical substances or correlated data are critical to the proposed studies. Studies utilizing data derived from large patient studies that include long-term health records, biospecimen repositories, and pre-existing research and that apply state-of-the art genomic and/or proteomic analysis, bioinformatics, and/or mathematical models to such data are also encouraged. New Investigators: This award encourages applications from investigators in the early stages of their careers. The New Investigator category is designed to allow PIs, early in their faculty appointments or in the process of developing independent research careers, to compete for funding separately from established investigators. PIs using the New Investigator category are strongly encouraged to strengthen their applications by including investigators experienced in prostate cancer research and/or possessing other relevant expertise as demonstrated by a record of funding and publications. It is the responsibility of the PI to describe how additional investigators will augment his/her expertise and better address the research question. PIs may choose to employ both the New Investigator category and the Qualified Collaborator Option (described below) in a single application. All applicants for the New Investigator category must meet specific eligibility criteria, as described in Section I.D., Eligibility Information. The Health Disparity Research Award offers two additional options for consideration: 1. Qualified Collaborator Option: The Health Disparity Research Award strongly supports collaborative research involving basic, population science, and clinical researchers, researchers with prostate cancer expertise and those with health disparity expertise, and/or researchers and community organizations that may be critical to the study of populations disproportionately affected by prostate cancer. Although these and other types of collaborations are, in general, strongly encouraged, collaborations that meet specific criteria will qualify for a higher level of funding, as described in Section I.E., Funding. For the application to qualify for a higher level of funding, the PI must submit a Qualified Collaboration Statement that clearly describes the proposed collaborator and collaboration and addresses how each of the criteria below are met. In addition, the collaborator must provide a letter of collaboration describing his/her involvement in the proposed work. It should be clear from both documents that the successful completion of the project depends on the unique skills and contributions of both the PI and the qualified collaborator. The following criteria must be met to use the Qualified Collaborator Option: The collaborator must significantly contribute to the project such that the proposed work could not be accomplished without his/her involvement. This is expected to include both intellectual input and research resources (e.g., supplies, reagents, equipment, personnel, services, tissue samples, or access to patients or populations). The collaborator must contribute at least a 10% level of effort to the project. Contribution of the collaborator should be reflected in the application budget. If the PI does not have experience in prostate cancer research and/or working with disproportionately affected populations, the collaborator must possess such experience. 2. Nested Health Disparity Traineeship Option: This award also offers opportunities for training highly motivated graduate students and postdoctoral fellows interested in pursuing a career in resolving disparities in prostate cancer incidence, morbidity, mortality, and survivorship. The trainee is not required to have previous health disparity or prostate cancer research experience. This option primarily provides salary support for the trainee. An individualized training program in prostate cancer disparities must be described, and may include coursework, laboratory techniques, conferences, seminars, journal clubs, teaching responsibilities, clinical responsibilities, grant writing and/or other activities that will provide the trainee with experience in key areas relevant to the proposed work and foster the trainee&amp;#8217;s development as a prostate cancer health disparity researcher. An environment appropriate to the proposed training must be clearly described. Only one traineeship (predoctoral or postdoctoral) may be requested per application. Plans for training and mentorship must be well developed and clearly described by the PI in the application.</Description>

        <Description>The PCRP Idea Development Award mechanism was first offered in FY97. Since then, 6,297 Idea Development Award applications have been received, and 1,097 have been recommended for funding. The Idea Development Award supports new ideas that represent innovative approaches to prostate cancer research and have the potential to make an important contribution to the PCRP mission. Although groundbreaking research often involves a degree of risk, applications should be based on a sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and/or critical review and analysis of the literature. Due to this award&amp;#8217;s emphasis on innovation, the presentation of preliminary data relevant to prostate cancer and the proposed project is encouraged but not required. Research deemed innovative may represent a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative. The PCRP seeks applications from investigators from a wide spectrum of disciplines including, but not limited to, basic science, engineering, bioinformatics, population science, psycho-oncology, translational research, and clinical research. In addition, applicants are expected to address at least one of the PCRP focus areas and are highly encouraged to address one of the PCRP overarching challenges. If the proposed project does not address any of the overarching challenges, the application should include a description to justify how the project will nevertheless address a critical need in the field of prostate cancer research and/or patient care. The Idea Development Award also emphasizes the potential impact, both short-term and long-term, of the research project on prostate cancer research and/or patient care. To maximize the potential for impact, investigators are strongly encouraged to incorporate the following components into their study design where appropriate: authentication of proposed cell lines; statistical rigor of preclinical animal experiments; incorporation of experiments to assess clinical relevance and translatability of findings.

Studies utilizing data derived from large patient studies that include long-term health records, biospecimen repositories, and pre-existing research and that apply state-of-the art genomic and/or proteomic analysis, bioinformatics, and/or mathematical models to such data are also encouraged. New Investigators: The FY15 Idea Development Award mechanism encourages applications from investigators in the early stages of their careers. The New Investigator category of this award mechanism is designed to allow applicants early in their faculty appointments, or in the process of developing independent research careers, to compete for funding separately from Established Investigators. PIs using the New Investigator category are strongly encouraged to strengthen their applications through collaboration with investigators experienced in prostate cancer research and/or possessing other relevant expertise as demonstrated by a record of funding and publications. It is the responsibility of the PI to describe how the collaboration(s) will augment his or her expertise to best address the research question. All New Investigator applicants must meet specific eligibility criteria as described in Section I.D., Eligibility Information. PIs employing the New Investigator category are not eligible to apply for the Partnering PI Option. Partnering PI Option (New for FY15): The FY15 Idea Development Award is offering a Partnering PI Option with a higher level of funding to support synergistic partnerships among Established Investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate up to a total of three PIs, called the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI(s). One member of the team will be identified as the Initiating PI and will be responsible for the majority of the administrative tasks associated with the application. The other PI(s) will be referred to as the Partnering PI(s). Initiating and Partnering PIs each have different submission requirements as described in Section II; however, all PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines. It is the responsibility of the collaborating investigators to describe how their combined expertise will combine and synergize to maximize the project&amp;#8217;s outcomes.

        <Description>The Arts Endowment&amp;apos;s support of a project may start on August 1, 2016, or any time thereafter. A grant period of up to two years is allowed. OUR TOWN: Grant Program Description The Our Town grant program supports creative placemaking projects that help to transform communities into lively, beautiful, and resilient places with the arts at their core. Creative placemaking is when artists, arts organizations, and community development practitioners deliberately integrate arts and culture into community revitalization work - placing arts at the table with land-use, transportation, economic development, education, housing, infrastructure, and public safety strategies. This funding supports local efforts to enhance quality of life and opportunity for existing residents, increase creative activity, and create a distinct sense of place. Through Our Town, subject to the availability of funding, the National Endowment for the Arts will provide a limited number of grants for creative placemaking projects. Our Town requires partnerships between arts organizations and government, other nonprofit organizations, and private entities to achieve livability goals for communities.

        <CloseDateExplanation>Applications Available: May 21, 2015.      Note: On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately. One   provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health   and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name was changed to the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and   Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR   awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools.   NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer review. We are using   Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide for a smooth and orderly   process for our applicants.      Date of Pre-Application Meeting: June 11, 2015. Date of Pre-Application Meeting: Interested parties are invited to participate in a pre-application meeting and to receive information and technical assistance through individual consultation with NIDILRR staff.

        <Description>The goal of the FY15 VPPSA is to fund projects exploring novel technologies that will contribute to the development of a working visual prosthesis prototype for individuals who have sustained functional or structural enucleation. Examples of enucleation are severe macular degeneration (functional) and traumatic injury (structural). Development of a visual prosthesis addresses the identified CRMRP gap of inadequate vision restoration options for Wounded Warriors, their dependents, and the public. Specifically, the VPPSA supports the exploration of highly innovative, potentially high-gain concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods that address an important problem in the development of a visual prosthesis. Results of studies conducted through this award should inform the development pathway for a visual prosthesis prototype. For this award, a visual prosthesis prototype is defined as prototype visual prosthesis that (1) provides the ability to navigate for ambulation, identify faces and objects critical to daily life, and read large print and (2) is economically feasible. Applications to the VPPSA should clearly state how the proposed research provides an innovative solution to a critical problem in the development of a prototype visual prosthesis. The VPPSA seeks applications from investigators from a wide spectrum of disciplines including, but not limited to, basic science, engineering, translational research, and clinical research. In addition, to be considered for funding, applications MUST address at least one of the following VPPSA Focus Areas: &amp;#8226; Simulation studies to assess stimulation parameters needed for an effective cortical artificial vision device. &amp;#8226; Studies to demonstrate the efficacy of novel cortical stimulation methodologies (stimulation of non-visual cortex is acceptable for demonstration). &amp;#8226; Preclinical studies required to obtain a Premarket Approval (PMA) or Investigational New Drug (IND) for components necessary for a cortical interface. &amp;#8226; Other: Projects focused on other research areas relevant to the development of a cortical visual prosthesis may be submitted for consideration provided that sufficient justification is included in the application. In keeping with the exploratory nature of the award, preliminary data are allowed but not required. However, proposed projects must be based on logical reasoning and sound scientific rationale.</Description>

The NPS/PFMD/Transportation Program wishes to assist the various units of the agency and stakeholders to effectively and efficiently take part in the opportunities provided by Federal surface transportation legislation, as well as fulfilling the requirements of this legislation related to coordination and outreach, planning, and safety. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. Specifically, in this Task Agreement (Task Agreement 2 &amp;#65533; Year 2), STPP will assist the NPS in preparing for reauthorization of Federal surface transportation legislation (including the Federal Lands Transportation Program) and other legislation affecting the NPS Transportation Program, and implement the requirements of any such new legislation. This will include assisting with planning, developing, and updating program documentation such as: a &amp;#65533;resource book&amp;#65533; documenting NPS transportation needs and initiatives; a searchable database on proposed projects; and other background documents. As part of executing the new legislation, the STPP will work with NPS/WASO to implement outreach activities targeted to NPS staff, State Departments of Transportation and Metropolitan and Regional Planning Organizations, partnerships and other stakeholders (as required by current law). RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT STPP agrees to: Provide substantial involvement and collaboration by developing, reviewing and editing reports, analyzing and evaluating proposed and enacted legislation, codes and regulations, assisting with the development of the database detailing proposed projects, and implementing outreach to NPS regions and park units, State and local governments, and to NPS stakeholders (as required by current law). Goals &amp;amp; Objectives: A series of documents as required (e.g., resource book updates and additions (e.g., Business Practices), fact sheets, legislative analysis, impact statements, etc.) for print and/or internet; a searchable database/multi-year program of projects; a plan for public outreach and activities related to implementation such as new program requirements and other related items that might be mandated by any new legislation and a report at the completion of each activity. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: NPS agrees to: Provide a project manager to be substantially involved in all phases of planning and product development, outreach planning, and implementation. Coordinate with other NPS personnel and appropriate persons from Federal Lands Highway Program, as needed. STPP &amp;amp; NPS as a result of the activities undertaken together agree to: Produce materials/products, as needed, to support the reauthorization process. NPS and STPP will jointly prepare a memo detailing the scope of work for each product, and including a schedule for delivery. Upon completion, STPP will provide a &amp;#65533;completion report memo&amp;#65533; which NPS will acknowledge by way of acceptance. STPP will develop and submit to NPS a proposed approach for new outreach activities prior to any effort related to implementation.

        <Description>The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Network promotes, conducts, and provides research, technical assistance and education services nationwide in support of the missions of participating federal agencies and their partners concerning natural and cultural resource management on federal and/or private lands and waters. Each CESU project is cooperative, substantially involving and benefitting both federal and non-federal partners. A CESU project is consistent with the goals of the respective CESU which administers the project. The BLM has identified the need for applied scientific studies to determine the type and extent of impacts that utility-scale wind and solar installations on public lands may have on pollinator-plant webs in desert ecosystems. Pollinators play a vital role in maintaining functional ecosystems. This project addresses the need for documenting instances of impacts from fragmentation of pollinator traplines, loss of soil and vegetation habitat for different life stages of pollinators, disruption of dependencies between endemic plants or endemic invertebrates and their respective companion pollinators or host plants, and potential demographic bottlenecks/population declines from pollinator mortalities induced by specific types of renewable energy technology. Basic knowledge in these areas is critical so that BLM and other land managers can adequately avoid or mitigate any ecological disconnects that may result renewable energy development in desert landscapes.</Description>

        <Description>Congress designed the Clean Air Act to protect public health and welfare from different types of air pollution caused by a diverse array of pollution sources. Congress established much of the basic structure of the Clean Air Act in 1970, and made major revisions in 1977 and 1990. Dense, visible smog in many of the nation&amp;apos;s cities and industrial centers helped to prompt passage of the 1970 legislation at the height of the national environmental movement. The subsequent revisions were designed to improve its effectiveness and to target newly recognized air pollution problems such as acid rain and damage to the stratospheric ozone layer. To protect public health and welfare nationwide, the Clean Air Act requires EPA to establish national ambient air quality standards for certain common and widespread pollutants based on the latest science. EPA has set air quality standards for six common &amp;quot;criteria pollutants&amp;quot;: particulate matter (also known as particle pollution), ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and lead. States are required to adopt enforceable plans to achieve and maintain air quality meeting the air quality standards. State plans also must control emissions that drift across state lines and harm air quality in downwind states. Other key provisions are designed to minimize pollution increases from growing numbers of motor vehicles, and from new or expanded industrial plants. The law calls for new stationary sources (e.g., power plants and factories) to use the best available technology, and allows less stringent standards for existing sources. In Alaska the Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Air Quality (ADEC) is responsible for controlling and mitigating air pollution and for conserving the clean air that is enjoyed in most locations of Alaska including on federal lands within Alaska&amp;#65533;s borders. (Federal Clean Air Act and state law in Title 44, Chapter 46, and Title 46, Chapter 3 and Chapter 14). Federal land managers, including BLM, are required to adhere to the CAA and to ensure all federal and state laws are met. The BLM Alaska air resource program, as part of the Soil, Water and Air program subactivity, has rapidly evolved over the past several years as air issues have the potential to significantly impact management decisions, and following implementation of the &amp;#65533;Memorandum of Understanding among the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Interior, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, regarding Air Quality Analysis and Mitigation of Federal Oil and Gas Decisions through the National Environmental Policy Process&amp;#65533; (June 11, 2011)(copy in file). Alaska is generally considered to have pristine air quality. In large parts of the state this remains true, but air quality impacts exist in areas where there are population centers or industrial and resource development. Statewide resource development, especially in the oil and gas arena, has added to the future air quality workload demand. New resource development statewide have the potential to impact air quality on BLM lands, as well as BLM authorized resource development, might impact air quality downwind on state, private or federal lands managed by other agencies. Additionally, BLM Alaska will need to demonstrate compliance with the Clean Air Act, including the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, Greenhouse Gas emissions and the Regional Haze Rule. BLM Alaska will establish a cooperative agreement with a qualified recipient for the purpose of evaluating air quality impacts that potentially could impact BLM and neighboring lands (State, Federal, corporate, tribal and private). The recipient will cooperatively work with the BLM Alaska State Office, National Operations Center air resource specialists, and where appropriate, the district and field office staff, in responding to general air quality questions and concerns from the Alaskan public. The recipient will provide input to ongoing statewide air quality issues on request of the BLM project manager. Additionally this agreement will allow work in support of uniform air quality modeling and monitoring projects. BLM Alaska has performed modeling studies for oil and gas development on BLM land. Through this agreement the recipient will cooperate in the review of previous modeling projects and share in the development and interpretation of future modeling analyses. The goal of this cooperation is to develop a uniform modeling approach applicable to most areas of the state. Alaska is the only Arctic state in the nation and has unique challenges for modeling due to the distinctive composition and photochemical processes in the arctic and sub-arctic atmospheres. BLM Alaska has conducted some initial meteorological and air quality monitoring projects. Through this agreement, BLM Alaska will share the gained experience/knowledge all with data from the recipient to enhance the current program. The recipient will be able apply the BLM Alaska experience to other monitoring projects within the state. By cooperating on future monitoring projects, BLM Alaska ensures that the sampling approach yields data that are easily compared with other measurements made throughout the state. Currently the BLM air resources program has conducted or contracted several air quality or meteorological data collection and analysis projects. Through this agreement, the recipient will cooperatively work with BLM AK to assist in oversight and review of performance and products and provide analysis and review for Resource Management Plans (RMP), General Conformity Determinations, Environmental Impact Studies, air quality modeling and other air quality related questions. The recipient air quality staff will have to be experienced in most aspects of the air quality issues facing BLM. The recipient currently has staff, office space and equipment to perform this requirement with BLM. </Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) specifically targets soft cost reduction by increasing data accessibility, quality and interoperability in the U.S. The Solar Bankability Data to Advance Transactions and Access FOA (SB-DATA) will facilitate the growth and expansion of the solar industry by creating a standardized data landscape for distributed solar. As the solar market continues to rapidly grow, it&amp;#8217;s critical that the collection, management, and exchange of solar datasets, especially those that affect the bankability of solar assets &amp;#8211; across the value chain from project origination to grid integration, operations, and decommissioning &amp;#8211; are coordinated and streamlined to protect consumers, increase efficient pricing, and to support new and existing businesses entering the solar marketplace (e.g. new financial, underwriting products, operations and maintenance services). The goal of SB-DATA is to support the creation and adoption of industry-led de facto open data standards for rapid and seamless data exchange across the value chain from origination to decommissioning. SunShot defines success of this program as the wide adoption of data standards by stakeholders representing at least 60% of the U.S. solar industry, in terms of deployed/managed residential and non-residential distributed solar assets in 2015. This includes solar companies, developers, utilities, state governments, inverter manufactures, financial institutions, investors, underwriters, real estate entities, and others. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of modification 000002 is to extend the period of performance (POP). The is extended from 20 July to 1 August 2015 Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: Pakoon Springs Ranch was a working ranch for nearly a century, with cattle ranching, alfalfa production, and ostrich farming. The landscape was severely altered by development. The approximately 10 springs were dug and developed into ponds to store water for domestic use and to irrigate agricultural fields. The springs, riparian areas, and agricultural fields were overrun by non-native, invasive plant and animal species. In 2004, the ranch was acquired by BLM. The current BLM direction for management of riparian areas is to &amp;quot;Maintain, restore, or improve riparian areas to achieve a healthy and productive ecological condition for maximum long-term benefits.&amp;quot; To that end, over the last 11 years restoration work has been performed by the BLM and public and private partners. The structures, vehicles, refuse, and scrap metal was removed from the property by the BLM in March 2005. SHPO clearance was obtained by the BLM for the site in 2006. Arizona Water Protection Fund grants #06-137WP (2006-2009) involved a 10 acre pilot project restoration are centered on the spring&amp;apos;s complex. Arizona Water Protection Fund grant # 0400 expanded the project to a 50-60 acre area. b. Objectives: 1) The purpose of this project is to monitor the effectiveness of the project to date in restoring healthy ecosystem functions. Active landscape and vegetation manipulation over the last 11 years has been driven by the attempt to restore ecosystem functions associated with a natural Mojave Desert spring complex. To determine how well the project has done this, monitoring of key aspects (vegetation, aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, avifauna, herpetofauna, small mammals, water quality and flow) and comparison with previous conditions and desired future conditions for the spring will help guide the final stages of the larger project. This monitoring will also be used by other agencies to assess whether Pakoon Springs is ready for reintroducing candidate special status species such as Grand Wash Spring Snail and Relict Leopard Frog. Since this monitoring will begin within a year of the last major earthmoving event, it is a baseline to use to test all future species composition and water quality questions. 2) Provide field/laboratory learning experiences for youth interested in disciplines associated with ecosystem rehabilitation and riparian areas (hydrology, botany, entomology, etc.) Aquatic systems in the desert southwest are primarily controlled by permittees and state and federal agencies. Access for youth/student research and learning opportunities can be extremely limited due to a variety of factors including concerns over potential damage to fragile systems or species. Pakoon Springs represents a system in flux, with no known fragile species (at this time). As such, the combination of federal control of the water right and a system already damaged, but healing, provides an opportunity for youth to learn necessary techniques in the field that they might otherwise not have a chance to encounter until their professional lives. There is a minimal risk as far as fears for a youth learner that they might &amp;quot;break something&amp;quot; and an excellent opportunity to experience spring ecosystems that might otherwise be off-limits. In addition, Pakoon Springs has a variety of habitats, from spring mounds, to seeps, to channels to what could be called a perennial stream. This variety provides in one location the opportunity for learning different techniques for data collection and study design in all the disciplines the monitoring will cover. Complementary lab techniques that will be part of the monitoring can be taught to youth. Again, because of the status of Pakoon Springs, larger samples than would normally be considered can be taken so many youth/students can practice techniques in the lab. </Description>

        <Description>Pursuant to the authority granted in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, the United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications from eligible non-federal entities for a project titled, &amp;quot;Health Private Sector Flagship&amp;quot; (HPSF). USAID strongly encourages Applicants to develop teaming approaches or consortiums with other responsible organizations (U.S. or Non-U.S. Organizations).HPSF builds on over 40 years of USAID&amp;#8217;s private sector health programming worldwide. The project&amp;#8217;s purpose is to increase use of priority health services through strategic expansion of private sector approaches in the health system. This will ultimately contribute to achieving the project&amp;#8217;s overall strategic goal of fulfilling U.S. Government (USG) commitments and priorities such as Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths (EPCMD), AIDS-Free Generation (AFG) as part of the President&amp;#8217;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and Family Planning 2020 (FP2020). Proposed project sub-purposes are: 1) Expanded utilization of private sector health information, products, and services at the household, community, and health facility levels; 2) Increased government-private sector engagement; 3) Enabling environment for private sector health within health system improved; and 4) Innovative, emerging, and tested private sector models are surfaced, disseminated, and applied. The Office of Population and Reproductive Health (PRH) in the Bureau for Global Health (GH) seeks to competitively award a five-year, $150 million cooperative agreement to help achieve global U.S. government health priorities and commitments, namely goals related to Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths (EPCMD), AIDS-Free Generation (AFG), and Family Planning 2020 (FP2020). The cooperative agreement will support the increased use of health services through strategic expansion of private sector approaches. Project Goal and Purpose The overarching strategic goal of the project is to improve health outcomes and support the achievement of USG priorities in EPCMD, AFG, and FP2020 at the global, regional, and country level. The project&amp;#8217;s overall purpose is to increase use of priority health services through strategic expansion of private sector approaches in the health system.The project has four sub-purposes supporting the overall purpose:&amp;#8226; Sub-Purpose 1: Expanded utilization of private sector health information, products, and services at the household, community, and health facility levels &amp;#8226; Sub-Purpose 2: Increased, effective, public-private engagement to improve public health outcomes&amp;#8226; Sub-Purpose 3: Improved enabling environment for the private sector within the health system &amp;#8226; Sub-Purpose 4: Innovative, emerging, and tested private sector models are surfaced, disseminated, and applied</Description>

        <Description>Illegal wildlife trade is estimated to be a multibillion-dollar business involving the unlawful harvest of and trade in live animals and plants or parts and products derived from them. Wildlife is traded as skins, leather goods or souvenirs; as food or traditional medicine; as pets, and in many other forms. Illegal wildlife trade runs the gamut from illegal logging of protected forests to supply the demand for exotic woods, to the illegal fishing of endangered marine life for food, and the poaching of elephants to supply the demand for ivory. Illegal wildlife trade harms wild populations of animals and plants and pushes endangered species toward extinction. Endangered animals and plants are often the target of wildlife crime because of their rarity and increased economic value. Furthermore, illegal trade negatively impacts a country&amp;#65533;s natural resources and local communities that might otherwise benefit from tourism or legal, sustainable trade. Recognizing the urgent need for a coordinated response to this growing global crisis, on July 1, 2013, President Obama issued an Executive Order that established an interagency Task Force and charged it with developing a National Strategy for Combating Wildlife Trafficking. Released on February 11, 2014, this strategy sets forth a robust, whole-of-government approach that focuses on three key objectives to stop wildlife trafficking &amp;#65533; strengthening enforcement, reducing demand for illegally traded wildlife, and expanding international cooperation. A critical element of the National Strategy is to strengthen international arrangements that protect wildlife. As the National Strategy states: we will expand our role to strengthen and ensure effective implementation of international agreements and other arrangements, particularly CITES, the principal international agreement that specifically addresses unsustainable and illegal wildlife, timber, and plant trade. We will work with the CITES Secretariat and other parties to adopt appropriate measures in response to accelerated or new threats and to improve global implementation of, and compliance with, the Treaty&amp;#65533;s requirements. This project enables the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) to address this critical need. In the course of the meetings of CITES CoP and CITES Standing Committee, various high priority projects and other measures are approved for enactment, some of which are adopted subject to available funding. Funding for the execution of such work generally is provided to the CITES Secretariat by Parties to the Convention and other donors. The United States considers most of the identified projects and activities to be high priority to improve the effectiveness of the implementation and enforcement of the Convention. The complete list of approved projects and activities can be found embedded within the Decisions of CoP16 and the Summary Records of the Standing Committee, available at www.cites.org. One of the highest U.S. priorities is the implementation of National Ivory Action Plans (NIAPs) by 19 countries identified as of primary concern, secondary concern, or importance to watch, because of their roles as significant exporters, importers, or transit countries for trafficked elephant ivory. Information about these countries and the status of their NIAP implementation can be found at http://cites.org/eng/niaps. The CITES Secretariat has already provided critical support and assistance to many of these countries in the development, review and initial implementation of these NIAPs, and it is critical to the success of these plans that this work continues.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the efficient pilot testing of novel interventions for mental disorders in adults and children through an experimental therapeutics approach. Under this FOA, trials must be designed so that results, whether positive or negative, will provide information of high scientific utility and will support go/no-go decisions about further development or testing of the intervention. Studies of novel interventions include, but are not limited to behavioral, pharmacological, biologics-based, cognitive, device-based, interpersonal, physiological, or combined approaches. Support will be provided for up to two years (R61 phase) for preliminary milestone-driven testing of the interventions engagement of the therapeutic target, possibly followed by up to 3 years of support (R33 phase) for studies to replicate target engagement and relate change in the intervention target to functional or clinical effects. Ultimately, this R61/R33 FOA is intended to speed the translation of emerging basic science findings of mechanisms and processes underlying mental disorders into novel interventions that can be efficiently tested for their promise in restoring function and reducing symptoms for those living with mental disorders.</Description>

        <Description>This RFI is being modified to extend the date for response to July 24, 2015, 5:00 PM (ET). The purpose of this RFI is to obtain feedback and opinions from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on the report findings from the Gas Clean-up for Fuel Cell Applications Workshop held at held at Argonne National Laboratory on March 6-7, 2014. The Workshop featured 43 participants from industry (fuel cell, process solution providers, and material suppliers), government agencies, advocacy groups, universities, and national laboratories with expertise in the relevant fields. The objective of the workshop was to identify and prioritize: &amp;#8226;The impurities that have the greatest impact on the complexity and performance of a fuel cell plant; &amp;#8226;The Research and Development (R&amp;amp;D) strategies that can alleviate the cost for onsite removal of impurities; &amp;#8226;The R&amp;amp;D strategies that will simplify a plant and reduce product cost (heat, power, hydrogen); and &amp;#8226;The fuel processors and gas clean-up systems that facilitate modularity and fuel flexibility for a range of fuel cell technologies. The main activities of the workshop were arranged in three sessions to (i) discuss the impurities, (ii) discuss the clean-up technologies, and (iii) discuss the R&amp;amp;D needed to advance the clean-up technologies. The U.S. Department of Energy&amp;#8217;s (DOE) Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) requests input on whether or not respondents agree with the findings, if there are other findings that are considered critical but were not included in this report, and a prioritization of challenges and needs, if different from those in the report. This is solely a request for information and not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. DOE will not respond to questions related to this RFI. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to fuelcellresearchneeds@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm ET on 7/24/2015. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. The full content of the announcement can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center, Davie, Florida is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for Mapping and Spatial Data Analysis for Research on Indicator Species for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan and Marine Threatened/Endangered species. Protection of biological diversity has been identified at the global, national, state, and local levels as a critical component of protecting native ecosystems. Major goals of the South Florida Everglades Restoration Initiative are to restore and maintain native biological diversity of South Florida and to recover threatened and endangered species. Effective protection of an area&amp;apos;s ecosystem requires the ability to measure and define ecological integrity and to evaluate and monitor effects of restoration. This involves data visualizations and spatial and temporal data analysis to understand the ecological process and its responses to restoration activities. The objective of this project is to provide technical support for mapping and spatial data analysis for research on indicator species for Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) and marine threatened/endangered species. </Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to CESU partner of the South Florida &amp;#65533; Caribbean CESU. This opportunity is to support research to be performed for the Greater Everglades Ecosystem restoration planning and scenario evaluation. This study focuses on analysis of estuarine and coastal organisms in sediment cores to reconstruct changes in key environmental parameters over the last 100-5000 years. These analyses examine the impacts and interactions of natural drivers, such as climate change and sea level rise, and anthropogenic drivers, such as land use and water management, to provide information to managers planning for future scenarios and to assist in the establishment of targets and performance measures. Key questions are: 1) what is the late Holocene history of sea level and climate change for the coastal regions of South Florida; 2) what role did sea level rise and storms play in the current geologic and ecologic landscape; 3) how have the natural and anthropogenic drivers interacted; and 4) how will future changes impact the natural resources of South Florida?</Description>

        <Description>The Circles of Support and Accountability initiative emerged in Canada in the 1990s as a community-based, restorative justice movement that &amp;#8220;focuses on the need to engage the community in the reintegration process.&amp;#8221; In FY 2012, the SMART Office selected two project sites, Durham, North Carolina and Multnomah County, Oregon, and a training and technical assistance provider to support its Promoting Evidence Integration in Sex Offender Management: Circles of Support and Accountability (COSA) program. COSA projects are now underway or in progress in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Vermont.The COSA model fills a gap in services for some offenders left by criminal justice policy; essentially, those at highest risk of re-offense who are being released at the end of their sentences without a formal process of aftercare. COSA programs were created, in part, to address the threat perceived by communities that sex offenders pose when they return from prison. COSA enlists volunteers from the community to aid in the management of sex offenders. COSA typically targets male offenders who have a long history of offending, failure in treatment, antisocial values and attitudes, are at high-risk for reoffending (for new sex or other offenses), and held until the end of their prison sentence and released with no probation or parole supervision. Each Circle consists of a Core Member (the sex offender) and four to six community volunteers. A COSA volunteer meets with the Core Member daily and the Circle meets once a week. The key to the program is &amp;#8220;a relationship scheme based on friendship and accountability for behavior.&amp;#8221; COSA programs have been initiated and implemented by faith-based organizations, community volunteer groups, and as an adjunct to criminal justice community corrections programs. The COSA model has an underlying philosophy of restorative justice, in that it focuses on the needs of the victim and offender and involves the community in resolving issues. In this respect, COSA appears to be a natural fit for Indian Country. The First Nations in Canada and American Indians/Alaska Natives in the United States have had a strong influence on the North American restorative justice movement. The holistic philosophy of the Nations and Tribes involves a circle of justice that connects everyone involved with a problem or conflict, with everyone focused on a common center. In approaching a conflict or problem, all contributing factors are examined to address the underlying issues that precipitated the problem, and everyone affected by a problem participates in the process. In this process, justice also means setting an action plan for how the wrongdoer and victim can proceed on a path of healing, both spiritual and physical. An example of restorative justice that is both process and community centered&amp;#8212;and one resembling COSA programs in non-tribal/native communities&amp;#8212;is the Community Holistic Circle Healing (CHCH) project of the Hollow Water First Nation in Manitoba, Canada. CHCH staff are involved in the entire healing process; a process that is based on traditional teachings that create the foundation for the Circle. CHCH uses a contract that requires everyone affected by a crime to take responsibility for keeping a compassionate yet watchful eye on the offender, be supportive of the victim, and bring about changes to their relationships that will minimize the risk of future abuse. The premise behind this healing and accountability process is that every individual is a whole being, not just a victim, an abuser, or a bystander with no role to play. This response encourages the entire community affected by the abuse to be involved in changing the norms that allow and even promote abuse. The spiritual core of CHCH requires the involvement of victims, abusers and their respective families, and focuses on the community affected by the abuse. A successful CHCH helps to reestablish a spiritual, physical, emotional and intellectual balance that benefits the impacted individuals and addresses the needs of the entire community.A ten-year evaluation of the CHCH program captured its success in preventing sex offender recidivism. Of the 107 individuals who had participated in the program, only two reoffended. Goals, Objectives, and DeliverablesThe purpose of this project is to support the development of COSA-type initiatives in tribal communities. That is, a holistic healing program working in tandem with professionals consisting of tribal community volunteers, a sex offender (Core Member), and trained professionals (Outer Circle). Additionally, there is a need to provide descriptive information for those Indian Country sites providing services to sex offenders based on the COSA model. This information will improve the field&amp;#8217;s understanding of the programmatic, service, and policy needs of sex offenders when released in to tribal communities. Tribal jurisdictions may apply and must agree to work with a SMART Office designated technical assistance provider to ensure adaptation of the COSA model to the specific tribal community, implementation fidelity, and proper training of community volunteers. Specific information on COSA volunteer training is available at http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/002/008/002008-3000-eng.shtml. Sites will be selected for SMART Office funding based upon their responses to the Selection Criteria listed on page 22 and their commitment to: &amp;#8226; Building knowledge and new evidence. &amp;#8226; Implementing a COSA program adapted to the tribal jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s traditions. &amp;#8226; Participating in an evaluation at a later date (subject to availability of funds).&amp;#8226; Collecting program data. &amp;#8226; Working collaboratively with the SMART Office and the COSA training and technical assistance provider.Project plans must include a monitoring and evaluation plan for information collection and analysis. Jurisdictions are encouraged to consider and include the following outcomes of interest in monitoring and evaluation plans: &amp;#8226; Descriptive information about the tribal community, including the justice process. &amp;#8226; Descriptive information about sex offenders in the jurisdiction, including those eligible for COSA.&amp;#8226; Descriptive information about offenders and community members participating in COSAs.&amp;#8226; Recidivism incidents (new charges for sexual, violent, and any criminal offenses, and returns to prison) and resolutions for offenders participating in the program.&amp;#8226; Changes in offender criminal behavior, measured as pro-criminal attitudes or antisocial behavior, drug and alcohol use, and participation in sex offender treatment, substance abuse and mental health services. &amp;#8226; Positive changes in offender behavior (i.e., pro-social behaviors and attitudes).&amp;#8226; Changes in the tribal community (including victims) as a result of program implementation (i.e., awareness of sexual offending behavior, healing processes, community involvement in the program, sexual violence prevention, and/or victim support). Program cost effectiveness.A report will be the final deliverable for this project. The report should contain, but not be limited to, descriptive information on the adaptations made to fit the cultural context of the tribal nation, number and types of volunteers trained, offender profiles (including demographics, risk/needs assessment information, treatment received, and a description of adjunct supervision), frequency of volunteer contacts with Core Members and Outer Circle professionals, a qualitative description of volunteer contacts, as well as any outcome information available (see above). </Description>

        <Description>The Concept Award supports the exploration of a highly innovative new concept or untested theory that addresses an important problem relevant to lung cancer. The Concept Award is not intended to support an incremental progression of an already established research project but, instead, allows Principal Investigators (PIs) the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations. This award mechanism supports high-risk studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Applications must describe how the new idea will enhance the existing knowledge of lung cancer or develop an innovative and novel course of investigation. Submissions from and partnerships with investigators at military treatment facilities, military labs, and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers and research laboratories are strongly encouraged. Research completed through a Concept Award may generate sufficient preliminary data to enable the PI to prepare an application for future research. Presentation of preliminary data is not consistent with the intent of the Concept Award mechanism and is discouraged. However, logical reasoning and a sound scientific rationale for the proposed research must be demonstrated. Military Relevance: The LCRP seeks to support research that is relevant to the health care needs of military Service members, Veterans, and their families. Military relevance will be considered in determining relevance to the mission of the DHP and FY15 LCRP during programmatic review. Investigators are strongly encouraged to consider the following characteristics as examples of how a project may demonstrate military relevance: &amp;#8226; Use of military or Veteran populations or data in the proposed research &amp;#8226; Collaboration with Department of Defense (DoD) or VA investigators &amp;#8226; Involvement of military consultants (Army, Air Force) or specialty leaders (Navy, Marine Corps) to the Surgeons General in a relevant specialty area &amp;#8226; Explanation of how the project addresses an aspect of lung cancer that has direct relevance to military Service members, Veterans, or other military health system beneficiaries</Description>

        <Description>The USGS Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a funding opportunity for research investigating the modelling of the Tamarisk (Saltcedar) beetle-bird interactions on Southwestern rivers. Four populations of saltcedar beetles (Diorhabda spp.) have been released in western riparian zones. The northern population, Diorhabda carinulata, is especially important to model and monitor. It has colonized nearly all the rivers in the upper Colorado River basin and in the past five years has moved down the Virgin River to Lake Mead. Its progress in moving further south, into the lower Colorado River basin, has been slowed, perhaps due to day-length controls on its diapause stage. Further releases of Diorhabda spp. have been prohibited due to concerns for its impact on southwestern willow flycatchers and other riparian-dependent birds that use saltcedar for nesting. However, the existing populations are poised to enter prime Southwestern Willow Flycatcher habitat in Arizona. The Southwestern Willow Flycatcher is an endangered species.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on agro-ecosystem based management approaches to improve pollinator diversity and activity on croplands. The ecological impacts of modern agriculture with intensive cropping systems that incorporate herbicide tolerant Genetically Modified (GM) crops on pollinator health and diversity is becoming an increasing cause for concern. Studies on the expanding cultivation of herbicide tolerant GM crops such as canola, where seed production is enhanced by cross-pollination, have shown that bee abundances were the lowest in fields with GM varieties. Canola (Brassica napus), provides significant amounts of nectar and pollen for foraging honeybees, bumblebees and other native bees, but is also extremely sensitive to weed competition and chemical applications. The herbicide tolerant GM canola provides a viable solution to canola cultivation by allowing herbicide application for weed elimination. However, pollinating insects, are known to use the within field weed vegetation extensively for food and nesting. An agro-ecosystem based management of providing pollinator strips with bee forage around the crop fields, in hedge rows and as buffer zones can potentially promote and sustain pollinator populations. These pollinator strips would enable spillover of pollinators to crop fields improving pollination efficiency and increasing seed production.</Description>

        <Description>The PUblic Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine (PAS Kyiv) seeks up to five (5) implementers for five (5) regional projects. Though largely a distance-learning program, &amp;#8220;Online Workplace English for Displaced Persons&amp;#8221; will have bases in five Ukrainian regions/cities, drawing participants from those cities or from surrounding areas. Projects in the Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Mykolaiiv, and Odesa regions will be given preference due to the large number of displaced people in those areas. A maximum of five (5) grants will be awarded to cover five (5) regions. A maximum of $20,000 may be requested of each region. However, implementers may represent more than one region. PAS Kyiv invites eligible organizations to submit proposals for a Cooperative Agreement to coordinate all logistics and programming associated with administering an eight-month blended learning course that will offer English language instruction to displaced persons in various regions of Ukraine. &amp;#8220;Online Workplace English for Displaced Persons&amp;#8221; is an eight-month blended learning course that will offer English language instruction to displaced persons in Ukraine. The English content is two-tiered, with an emphasis on (1) business and workplace English, and (2) resilience training, stress management, and community integration. Materials for the blended learning course will be provided by the U.S. Embassy. Teachers will be selected by the U.S. Embassy. 1. Participants will join an &amp;#8220;online classroom&amp;#8221; in the form of a blog or wiki. They will complete assignments, join discussion forums, and create their own blogs. A minimum of six hours of work is expected each week. 2. Participants will take part in online English speaking practice in small groups through Skype or Google Hangout for 30 minutes per week. 3. Participants will join in two-hour monthly face-to-face sessions where feasible. (Participants who cannot meet for face-to-face sessions are still eligible to join the course.) The program will develop the English language skills of displaced persons in Ukraine. Increased ability in English language will broaden participants job opportunities. The content will include resilience strategies and stress management to help facilitate participants&amp;#8217; integration into their new communities. Displaced persons will connect with each other and share stories. </Description>

        <Description>Delirium, defined as an acute impairment of cognition and attention, is a common complication of severe illness and surgery in older adults. It is associated with multiple adverse outcomes including increased morbidity, mortality, functional and cognitive decline, and institutionalization. Delirium remains markedly underdiagnosed.Moreover, the underlying mechanisms, and thereby potential treatment or prevention targets, are inadequately understood, as is prognosis. Addressing important research gaps may improve approaches for appropriate prevention and management, especially as studies of multicomponent interventions suggest that delirium may be at least 30-40% preventable.This FOA is intended to support a collaborative network to advance scientific research on the causes, mechanisms, outcomes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of delirium in older adults.</Description>

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number To be filled out by Contracting Project Title Beringia Seabird Youth Network Recipient Northern Research Technical Assistance Center (NORTAC) Principle Investigator / Program Manager NORTAC Priscilla Wohl President 11233 W Yucca Littleton, CO 80125 nortac@comcast.net 907-441-1000 Total Anticipated Award Amount $48,912 Cost Share $3,000 New Award or Continuation? To be filled out by Contracting Anticipated Period of Performance June 1, 2015 &amp;#8211; June 1, 2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1g, 31 U.S.C. 6305 CFDA # and Title 15.946-Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact To be filled out by Contracting OVERVIEW The Beringia Seabird Youth Network will work closely with the school districts on the Commander and Pribilof Islands to develop an understanding of the close similarities (and differences) of the wildlife and subsistence practices and develop inter-island community relationships. The project includes the sharing of a seabird curriculum; the development of pen-pal communication between youth; the sharing of natural and cultural resource information; and a weeklong camp that will bring the youth together. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The objectives of the proposed project are concentrate on 4 major areas: 1) Seabird Curriculum: The seabird curriculum will be created during the first two years of the proposed three-year project. The curriculum for 5/6th grade will be designed as an &amp;#8220;Introduction to Seabirds&amp;#8221;, including information on breeding and feeding ecology, conservation, and why we study seabirds. The curriculum activities will be adaptable for older or younger students making it more appealing to rural communities with multi-age classrooms such as the Pribilof School District and Nikolskoye. The unit will be an integrated cross-curriculum (including writing, math, geography etc.) so that it can have greater use in schools on both sides of the Bering Sea. 2) Pen-pal communication: Pen-pal communication between students on St. Paul, St. George and Nikolskoye will be initiated in year one, and continue for the three project years. Communication will be facilitated by teachers, and focus on students aged 8-14. 3) Sharing information about natural and cultural resources: &amp;#8226; Information about each community, school, and local wildlife will be shared on the Seabird Youth Website in both English and Russian; &amp;#8226; Interviews with elders and the learning and participation in subsistence practices at the annual Seabird Camp will be facilitated by the St. Paul, Pribilof Islands Aleut Community of Saint Paul Island, St George Traditional Council, and the St. George Institute. &amp;#8226; Nikolskoye students will share traditional songs and dance using video footage shared via the Seabird Youth Network website with Pribilof students. 4) Pribilof Island Seabird Camps: Seabird Camp is a weeklong day camp dedicated to learning about seabirds through hands-on activities, such as field trips, art, theatre, games, and guest lectures by staff members. Daily blog posts will be shared with students on the Commander Islands and translated into Russian. An annual camp program on the Pribilof Islands is vital for continuity with student relationships and learning, and the hosting of students from Nikolskoye during the third year of the proposed project will cement relationships through shared experiences and provide a deeper level of understanding of the globally important natural and cultural resources of these two island groups. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Recipient&amp;#8217;s activities to be funded by the award include: 1) Creating of a school curriculum on an &amp;#8220;Introduction to Seabirds&amp;#8221; that will be translated into Russian, and can be used in coastal communities on both sides of the Bering Sea; 2) Continuing for the duration of the project annual summer Seabird Camps held on the Pribilof Islands and integration of seabird activities; 3) Establishing pen-pal communication between students on both the Pribilof and Commander Islands; 4) Teaching students through sharing information about community, school and wildlife between through web posts, photos, and video documentary; 5) Organizing students&amp;#8217; exchange for the Commander Islands youth to attend summer Seabird Camp on the Pribilof Islands; 6) Working directly with organizations and individuals in Alaska and Russia to complete the deliverables outlined under this project; 7) Working with local organizations and individuals to incorporate the project&amp;#8217;s results into the greater context of the Beringia Program to show the importance of exchanges, youth involvement, work with local people, and knowledge transfer. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1) Act as liaison with the partner and possible individuals or groups in the Beringia region whom may be interested in Seabird project, especially youth. 2) Utilize the Beringia Program&amp;#8217;s contacts in Alaska and Russia (especially in native communities) to inform communities and organizations about the project. Assist with the dissemination of information working with local park units to post information, advertise presentations, and share curriculum and project activities on the NPS Beringia Program website and Alaskan National Parks Facebook page. 3) Use the network of contacts, the program website, and the program Facebook page to share information from the final and interim reports with the public, as well as with targeted audiences through the development of a project-specific distribution plan. This will be targeted toward youth in Beringia. 4) The Beringia Program will act as a liaison when needed to facilitate exchanges, enhance communication, provide translation services when necessary, assist with organizing trainings and seminars, and provide logistical support. 5) Provide technical assistance and expertise to the project including help with travel arrangements, and safety briefings related to project and geographic location. Also, will provide translation and interpretation when necessary through our network of translators, as well as bilingual staff members. 6) Assign the Shared Beringian Heritage Program, National Park Service, staff as the Agreements Technical Representative (ATR) for the administration of this Cooperative Agreement; and as Liaison between the NPS and NORTAC for the implementation of the program(s) identified within this agreement.

        <Description>The Reindeer Research Program is uniquely qualified to perform the work that will benefit all partners. The Program is the only one of its kind in the US and has taken an active role in the development and promotion of the Alaskan reindeer industry. The research projects are varied ranging from reindeer herd management, to animal health, to nutrition and meat quality. A CESU university has been involved with the local reindeer herder community and with the assessment of grazing lands on the Seward Peninsula for over 15 years building relationships and trust in a community that is not readily accepting of outside involvement. The Program is recognized and trusted locally as well as globally in uniquely performing an on-going analysis of reindeer biology, habitat and the socio-economic implications that are associated with grazing and herding. BLM is obligated to assess rangeland health as it relates to reindeer grazing on the Seward Peninsula. Other factors such as the influences from the Western Arctic Caribou Herd, other grazing ungulates, and potential vegetative shifts from climate change are necessary in assessing rangeland health. </Description>

        <Description>For background on this requirement, please refer to the 2015 Presidential Executive Order -- Promoting Private Sector Cybersecurity Information Sharing.https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/02/13/executive-order-promoting-private-sector-cybersecurity-information-shariOn February 13, 2015, President Obama signed Executive Order (EO)13691, which is intended to enable and facilitate &amp;#8220;private companies, nonprofit organizations, and executive departments and agencies &amp;#8230;to share information related to cybersecurity risks and incidents and collaborate to respond in as close to real time as possible.&amp;#8221; As specified in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, this program addresses one of the five basic missions of DHS, &amp;#8220;Safeguard and Secure Cyberspace.&amp;#8221; In furtherance of this mission, this program is intended to strengthen the security and resilience of critical infrastructure, advance incident response and reporting capabilities, and overall, strengthen the cybersecurity ecosystem through enhanced cybersecurity information sharing and maturation of information sharing and analysis organizations.The EO addresses several concerns the private sector has raised:&amp;#8226; If a company wants to join an Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) or other information sharing organization, how does it readily assess the capabilities and effectiveness of that organization both to provide valuable information and to be a trustworthy steward of information provided to it by the company? Lacking consistent baseline standards or evaluation criteria for ISAOs, companies may incur significant transaction costs that serve as a barrier to joining ISACs or other information sharing organizations. &amp;#8226; How can companies share information if they do not fit neatly into the sector-based structure of the existing ISACs?&amp;#8226; If a group of companies wants to start an information sharing organization, what model should they follow? What are the best practices for such an organization?To this end, the EO directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to:&amp;#8226; Encourage the development and formation of Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations (ISAOs), &amp;#8226; Enter into an agreement with a nongovernmental organization (standards organization) to identify a common set of voluntary standards for the creation and functioning of ISAOs. The standards will address the baseline capabilities that ISAOs under this order should possess and be able to demonstrate if they self-certify as an ISAO.To fulfill this requirement DHS will select a standards organization (SO) through an open and competitive process and enter into a cooperative agreement. The SO will create standards to assist in the widespread establishment of ISAOs and the mechanisms by which they function and interact with the government and across the private sector. The establishment of ISAOs will allow private sector companies and other entities to share cyber threat information with each other on a voluntary basis and, if they so choose, to participate in DHS information sharing programs even if they do not fit into an existing critical infrastructure sector. As an example, ISAOs will accommodate entities who want to collaborate with others in their region rather than with others in their sector. ISAOs will, if they so choose, have the opportunity to participate in existing DHS cybersecurity information sharing programs, including the opportunity to contribute to near-real-time sharing of cyber threat indicators within those programs.Under the cooperative agreement, that SO will be responsible for developing voluntary standards and guidelines for the creation and functioning of ISAOs, as contemplated under the EO. ISAOs will then self-certify to the standards identified and developed by the SO. The EO states: The standards shall further the goal of creating robust information sharing related to cybersecurity risks and incidents with ISAOs and among ISAOs to create deeper and broader networks of information sharing nationally, and to foster the development and adoption of automated mechanisms for the sharing of information. The standards will address the baseline capabilities that ISAOs under this order should possess and be able to demonstrate. These standards shall address, but not be limited to, contractual agreements, business processes, operating procedures, technical means, and privacy protections, such as minimization, for ISAO operation and ISAO member participation.As the EO envisaged a standards-setting process led by the private sector, DHS will move into the role of assisting the SO to assure: 1. The SO is developing a common set of voluntary standards or guidelines for the creation and functioning of ISAOs under this order.2. All standards are consistent with voluntary international standards when such international standards will advance the objectives of this order, and shall meet the requirements of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995. 3. The SO engages in an open, public review and comment process for the development of the referenced standards soliciting the viewpoints of existing entities engaged in sharing information related to cybersecurity risks and incidents, owners and operators, of critical infrastructure, relevant agencies, and other public and private sector stakeholders. </Description>

        <Description>This is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to the City of Webb without competition under justification 505DM 2.14 B (2) and (4). Estimated Total Program Funding is $800,000.00. Competition for the award is not practical as the Missouri NRDA trustees has previously awarded funds to Webb City to acquire mined lands for restoration. This award is for the restoration of these acquired lands, and is a continuation of the ongoing restoration within the Tri-State Mining District. Webb City has contributed significant in-kind services in the past, and, due to facilities being uniquely situated on former mined lands, will continue to contribute in-kind services through staff time, equipment, and supplies. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will be substantially involved in projects under this funding opportunity. In particular, the Service will be responsible for the following: -Planting vegetation along riparian corridors on restoration sites. -Spot spraying invasive weeds on restoration sites. -Vegetation monitoring on restoration sites. -Selecting any subcontractors carrying out restoration activities. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this supplement is to support a state health department to evaluate the implementation of the STEADI fall prevention toolkit within a large health system(s) with a focus on health outcomes and cost.State health departments funded for the Core VIPP State Fall Prevention Program supplement are currently implementing fall prevention activities and programs in their state. As part of this work, the states are implementing 3 community-based programs (Tai Chi Moving for Better Balance, Stepping On, and Otago)along with the clinically focused STEADI toolkit&amp;#8212;a set of tools that facilitates older adult fall risk screening, assessment, treatment, and management in primary care settings. To support implementation ofSTEADI, state health departments have developed partnerships with large health systems. Thesepartnerships have presented the opportunity to conduct a local evaluation of the implementation of STEADI within a large health system(s) to understand the potential health outcomes and costs associated with STEADI implementation. This information can then be used to improve the local implementation of STEADI.</Description>

        <Description>The intended outcome of this FOA is for microbiological and chemical food analyses performed on behalf of State manufactured food regulatory programs to be conducted within the scope of an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited laboratory and the goal of achieving a nationally integrated food safety system to be further advanced. This will be accomplished by preparing the primary food testing laboratories for State manufactured food regulatory programs to achieve and maintain ISO/IEC 17025:2005 laboratory accreditation. Currently accredited laboratories will also be prepared for accreditation enhancements. Increased laboratory analyses from ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited labs, as would be accomplished through this cooperative agreement, will in effect serve to increase the analytical capacity for FDA and enhance efforts to protect the food supply. Data generated by recipient laboratories shall be made available for consideration of FDA enforcement actions as well as for surveillance purposes and during response to foodborne outbreaks through eLEXNET. Laboratory accreditation will also assist State manufactured food regulatory programs in achieving conformance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS). </Description>

        <Description>This project is a cooperative effort between the U. S. Forest Service, Klamath National Forest, Six Rivers National Forest; the Salmon River Restoration Council; the Quartz Valley Indian Reservation; the Northern California Resource Center; the Mid Klamath Watershed Council; Siskiyou Resource Conservation District, and the Karuk and Yurok Tribes. The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) will direct this survey, and are also contributors to this effort. The CDFG has been led the effort to determine Chinook spawner escapement in the Klamath River upstream of Weitchpec since 1978. The data generated by CDFG has been and continues to be valuable for the determination of harvest levels for the management of Klamath River fish stocks, as well as track the trend of Klamath fall chinook abundance in the Klamath Basin. The CDFG uses a combination of counting weirs, spawner carcass surveys, redd surveys, and hatchery returns to develop these important estimates. This one year survey will determine in-river run size (escapement) of Chinook salmon within the Shasta, Scott, and Salmon River basins and other major tributaries to the Middle Klamath River during the 2015 season (October through December, 2015). Information will be collected on run timing, spawning distribution, length frequency, and sex ratio for fall Chinook salmon. The survey provides for the recovery of coded wire tag information and scales for age class determination. Additionally, information on coho salmon and steelhead observed during the course of the survey will be documented. </Description>

        <Description>This project will fund Siskiyou County Dept. of Agriculture to chemically treat 55 acres of invasive weeds at Yreka phlox populations and 38 acres at Siskiyou mariposa lily populations. Due to the nearly year-round germination of dyer&amp;#8217;s woad from the seedbed and the threat of encroachment from adjacent lands, long-term treatment is necessary to protect the habitats of these protected plants. This agreement will provide funding for weed surveys and treatment on private lands in and around know populations of these plants. At each population area, private lands will be &amp;#8220;worked&amp;#8221; or surveyed at least twice each year for the presence of dyer&amp;#8217;s woad. Identified plants will be controlled by chemical spot treatment, or hand pulling if within the designated buffer zone adjacent to the known populations, two to three times per year. </Description>

        <Description>The Madrean Archipelago Ecorection, also known as the Sky Islands, are a unique region of more than 40 isolated mountain ridges surrounded by a sea of semi-desert grasslands that straddles the Mexico/Arizona/New Mexico border. It is one of America&amp;apos;s great hotspots for wildlife diversity, hosting more twice as many mammal species as Yellowstone National Park and supporting America&amp;apos;s highest diversity of reptiles, bees and ants. Sky Island Grasslands are threatened by wide scale disruption of natural fire regimes that have already allowed shrublands to invade and likely permanently transform 4 million acres of grassland and this threat continues to expand. Historic grazing, agriculture, development, stream channelization, fire suppression, and OHV use resulted in a reduction of watershed function, and reduced ecosystem function and resiliency. Inventorying, restoring and enhancing ecosystems within the Safford Field Office will serve to improve watershed function, provide habitat and water for wildlife species, and enhance ecosystem function and resiliency. b. Objectives: The BLM seeks partners for collaboration whose interests are to promote environmental research, public awareness, and conservation throughout the Madrean Archipelago Ecoregion, with particular focus in Arizona on 1) wildlife monitoring, studies, and assessments, 2) spring inventory, assessment, monitoring, and restoration, 3) watershed and riparian restoration, and 4) implementation of identified road closures. Project outcomes may include inventories, reports, and completed databases, maps, and ArcGIS shapefiles. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency&amp;#8217;s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO) is announcing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for applicants to provide the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partners with a proposal for technical and programmatic support related to implementation of the agricultural and other nonpoint source components of the Chesapeake Bay watershed jurisdictions&amp;#8217; (listed below) watershed implementation plans (WIPs). This RFP is seeking cost-effective proposals from eligible applicants for supporting state, regional, and local partners and other non-federal stakeholders to build the institutional and programmatic capacity for accelerated implementation of agricultural conservation and other nonpoint source programs. This work will improve coordination and provide technical and logistical support to the CBP Partnership Water Quality Goal Implementation Team&amp;#8217;s Agriculture Workgroup and Watershed Technical Workgroup. Proposals should also include technical and coordination support to the non-federal partners and the appropriate CBP technical workgroups for determining the best means for ensuring all implemented nonpoint source (both agricultural and non-agricultural) best management practices (BMPs) are tracked, verified, reported, and simulated in the suite of CBP partnership models. </Description>

        <Description>This FOA provides resources to support (a) pilot or feasibility studies of new or adapted interventions to prevent HIV infection among populations where substance use may be a contributing factor; (b) pilot or feasibility studies of new or adapted interventions to improve the care of HIV infection among populations where substance use is prevalent, including interventions that integrate treatment for substance use disorders and HIV infection; or (c) pilot or feasibility studies to increase the scale, uptake, delivery, and/or quality of HIV prevention or care interventions with established evidence of efficacy. Both primary and secondary prevention will be supported. The full range of substance use will be considered including problematic episodic use and substance use disorders, as well as a full range of substances and modes of administration. The most important consideration is that substance use may affect transmission directly as in the case of injection or may affect transmission risk behavior. Domestic and overseas populations will be considered, with particular attention to populations with disproportionate burden of HIV infection and those where HIV infection and/or drug use are emergent. </Description>

        <Description>The CVJV assumes that waterfowl in the Central Valley rely on three major foraging habitats: managed seasonal wetlands, harvested rice fields and harvested corn fields, with the last two being managed on private lands. This project will examine the current contribution of these agricultural sources to waterfowl food energy supplies, how that may change in the future, and what those future changes would mean to waterfowl.</Description>

        <Description>The goals of the San Juan Recovery River Implementation Program (SJRIP) Long Range Plan include providing suitable habitat and suitable water quality to support recovery of the Colorado Pikeminnow and razorback sucker, including identification of types and sources of water quality contamination (Tasks 3.2.2, 3.4.1 and 3.4.3, SJRIP Draft Long-Range Plan). Accomplishing these goals remains pertinent to the recovery of the Colorado Pikeminnow and Razorback Sucker. The SJRIP is increasingly recognizing that flow regimes alone may not be sufficient to create and sustain the habitat necessary for the endangered fish. In addition, the 1994 San Juan Water Quality Contaminants and Review, discuss sampling results from the early 1990&amp;#8217;s that indicate San Juan fish have been exposed to hydrocarbons. Since that time development of both conventional oil and gas basins and coal bed methane deposits have continued. In an effort to further the SJRIP&amp;#8217;s progress in achieving this goal, The Nature Conservancy proposes to initiate conservation planning activities that will include the evaluation of the need for physical habitat enhancements and conduct an analysis of hazardous materials threats and impacts to the San Juan River ecosystems. This approach requires no additional field data collection and the objective will be to conduct comprehensive analysis of existing data and information. The primary goal of this scope of work shall be to utilize existing data and analyses of essential habitats, flow-habitat relationships, and endangered fish distributions to identify locations for habitat improvement projects and use mechanical means to assist flows in the creation or improvement of endangered fish habitats.</Description>

Slovakia is home to a small but committed group of investigative journalists, but they face challenges in pursuing this work. We aim to train new investigative journalists by setting up a mentorship program for promising journalism students and providing them and their journalist mentors with training in how to conduct in-depth investigations, which require technical expertise and a thorough understanding of business practices and regulations, as well as knowledge in how to track down sources. We envision that this program would include several media outlets with the involvement of one to three of their top senior journalists at each as mentors. About 20 journalism students and junior journalists would be selected to participate as mentees. Over the course of a year, the students would have a chance to rotate through several outlets and eventually work at a daily and weekly print outlet, as well as a TV news department, for two to three months at each. Program costs could include: fees to an NGO to administer the program, honoraria for the mentors, funds for equipment purchase for student use, a trainer from the U.S. to work with mentors and mentees during the program, and costs associated with this week-long training session. </Description>

        <Description>The Composite Airframe Life Extension (CALE) program will concentrate on identifying, developing, demonstrating and validating technology that will allow USAF airframe structural integrity managers to safely extend the certified service lives of airframes currently in the USAF fleet that contain advanced composite primary structure, without widespread replacement of aged structure with new, and without repeating an extensive, complex building block demonstration process. The CALE program will identify and develop technology to know and/or predict the residual strength, durability and damage tolerance, and reliability of advanced composite structure throughout the original, and if required new service life of the airframe.</Description>

        <Description>his is a directed grant to the University of Connecticut (UCONN) to continue their pilot testing and refinement of safety culture assessment tools (e.g., surveys, interview protocol) for the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) Safety Institute. This project addresses the safety of crude oil transported by rail and responds to a January 2014 letter from the U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to ASLRRA. UCONN has participated extensively in the initial planning stages of the Safety Institute as a key member of the Institute&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#162;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s development team. Under grant FR-RRD-0061, UCONN developed a suite of safety culture assessment tools (i.e., web-based survey, interview protocols, and onsite review protocols) grounded in current research literature and began pilot testing them at short line railroads.

        <Description>The Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving grant applications for research on innovative approaches to fusion energy on the spherical tokamak, advanced tokamak, and stellarator concepts. Such research on small to medium scale facilities can explore specific aspects of these concepts, thereby enhancing the understanding of magnetically confined plasmas. By broadening the scientific approach, this research can also help to grow and validate fusion science over a wider range of plasma conditions and enhance the opportunity for scientific discovery in toroidal confinement. Support of research that can help to deepen the scientific understanding and improve the tokamak or stellarator concept is an important focus area of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Key issues include, but are not limited to: 0 Investigating stellarator configurations with the goal of simplifying and making maintainable magnet systems and extending confinement parameters. 0 Improving the understanding of 3-D shaping in an integrated manner in plasmas with higher levels of performance. 0 Applying 3-D analysis and design approaches to ELM suppression on existing tokamaks and ITER. 0 Improving the understanding of anomalous electron transport in spherical tokamaks. 0 Resolving disruption avoidance and mitigation to permit reliable, continuous operation in spherical or advanced tokamaks. 0 Developing approaches that will address plasma materials interaction issues faced by tokamak and/or stellarator concepts. </Description>

        <Description>The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7 intends to award a single source financial assistance agreement as authorized by 505 DM 2.14 (B) to Auburn University. This notice is not a request for proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals. This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Network. The CESU network provides research, technical assistance, and education to federal land management, environmental, and research agencies and their partners. The partners serve the biological, physical, social, cultural, and engineering disciplines needed to address natural and cultural resource management issues at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context. The research team will use management strategy evaluation (MSE) methodology to evaluate the relative utility of in-season assessment projects with different characteristics related to the temporal and geographic proximity to major salmon harvest fisheries. The assessment projects will be subject to different levels of observation error and will index various portions of the run from less than one percent simulating the current test fishery, to 5 percent simulating a robust in-season fishery dependent survey, to greater than 90 percent simulating a well sited sonar project. The projects will simulate error in species and age composition similar to what is encountered in similar projects observing salmon runs. The purpose of the study will be to evaluate the relative utility of a proposed sonar project versus other types of in-season assessment projects to inform inseason management decisions. A key element of the MSE will be to use probabilistic control rules based on contemporary pstar methodology. </Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: a) The Cienega Watershed Partnership Oral History Work Group (7 partners including BLM) began in 2011 to inventory, transfer to digital media, and disseminate information from existing oral histories. This work was largely completed in 2013. A second work group, Back Then, formed to look at how oral histories and other historical information aided understanding the events and practices that shaped current landscapes. Back Then has offered 3 internships for graduates studying library science to gather additional oral histories. The Cienega Watershed Timeline Project began in 2012 through a shared history exercise. An interactive timeline with 500 events now exist but is not as public-friendly as needed for many teachers, students, general public, or visitors. b) Public engagement at Las Cienegas began in 1995 and continues to be a major component of successful management. The Biological Planning field program supports implementation of the Las Cienegas Resource Management Plan (RMP) and associated adaptive management process. Science on the Sonoita Plain began as a part of the Sonoita Valley Planning Partnership and continues to involve about 100 partners and members of the public in an annual symposium. In 2015, the 6th Symposium will focus on water and general science for the area. The State of the Workshop has been held 6 times. State of Cienega Watershed 2015 focuses on cross-jurisdictional monitoring in the watershed. Recommendations will be developed on how to identify a few key indicators of watershed health that partners, agencies and the public can collect and measure. c) The Youth Engaged Stewardship (YES!) program developed starting in 2011, through a collaboration of environmental and educational organizations, to involve youth in watershed improvement projects on public land. Professional researchers, scientists and land managers from BLM, the Cienega Watershed Partnership, Ironwood Tree Experience (formerly Prescott College Program), and the Empire High School (Vail School District) developed and manage the program. YES! 2012 focused on the Cottonwood Tank site; YES! 2013 at the Cieneguita wetlands; and YES! 2014 youth completed two projects: improving wetland re-vegetation project around 3 Cieneguita ponds and restoration at the Gardner Canyon Sacaton site. YES! Has been supported by additional partners providing expertise or funding including: The Nature Conservancy, Arizona Game and Fish, Freeport-McMoRan Mining, Summit Hut, The National Park Service, University of Arizona, and the BLM. d) Educational outreach has developed at Las Cienegas through a number of partners who offer awareness programs or events. This project focuses on working directly with teachers to respond to their requests for classroom assistance, materials and developing field opportunities. Efforts began in 2013 at schools and now include multiple districts whose teachers request this assistance. b. Objectives: The principle purpose is to continue to support a long history of public involvement at Las Cienegas NCA through a variety of outreach, engagement and education projects. The objective is to make a positive impact on the Las Cienegas NCA landscape and its resources through engaging scientists, youth, the general public, teachers/educators, and volunteers. Main features of this project: 1. Disseminate the most current science and management information through newsletters, workshops and symposia, and through web postings 2. Provide channels to develop guidelines and resolutions to current issues through engaging partners and the public. 3. Collect and disseminate oral histories and shared histories which aid in understanding past and present situations, connect Las Cienegas NCA to surrounding communities, and provide rich materials for environmental and heritage education 4. Engage youth at Las Cienegas through student-driven field experience, which will develop critical-thinking, problem-solving and leadership skills in managing and restoring public lands 5. Connect local educators/teachers to the resources and opportunities at Las Cienegas NCA through maintaining a web site, and by providing in-the-classroom assistance and programs. Provide outreach materials such as interpretive signs, digital links and materials, proceedings </Description>

        <Description>The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is announcing its intent to accept and consider a single source application for the award of a cooperative agreement to Graduate School USA in fiscal year 2015 to support educational outreach programs targeting school-aged children which promotes FDA&amp;apos;s mission. As part of its mission to promote and protect public health, the educational program&amp;apos;s mission is to perform outreach to school-children using FDA approved food safety and nutrition messages. This proposed cooperative agreement requires the supporting organization to provide teachers for one school year to extend CFSAN&amp;apos;s outreach into schools. Specific objectives of this support are to: 1. Provide thirty-seven (37) teachers from diverse United States (U.S.) schools a week-long course in food science in the Washington, DC metropolitan area; 2. Distribute approved food science curricula and other materials for the train-the-teacher session and exhibit at the national National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and regional NSTA conferences; and 3. Facilitate, identify, and prioritize technical assistance and development needs, develop strategic and project plans, and allocate resources to coordinate FDA training program components for U.S. teachers actively incorporating FDA&amp;#8217;s food safety and nutrition curriculum in their classrooms, as specified in the various training components of this proposed cooperative agreement. </Description>

        <Description>Amendment 01: The purpose of this amendment is to revise/clarify the travel related funding restrictions, and to correct a Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes (CVG) Class typo. All changes made to the BAA are highlighted in yellow. See the attached DARPA-BAA-15-38 document through Amendment 01. The DARPA Microsystems Technology Office is soliciting research proposals in the development of novel technologies for high-performance miniature inertial sensors. The PRIGM:AIMS program will address the challenge of precise navigation of guided munitions in the absence of external navigation aids, such as GPS. This BAA is particularly interested in inertial sensors that enable precision navigation of gun-launched spin-stabilized munitions, as well as the navigation of highly dynamic, long-range munitions. PRIGM:AIMS will investigate and demonstrate new sensing modalities for low-Cost, Size, Weight and Power (CSWaP) inertial sensors including, but not limited to: rate-integrating gyroscopes, integrated photonic waveguide optical gyroscopes, and optically-interrogated MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers.

        <Description>President Barack Obama, during his April 2015 visit to Jamaica at his Town Hall with Young Leaders of the Americas said of the relationship between the United States and Jamaica, &amp;#8220;We are not just nations, we&amp;#8217;re also neighbors. Tens of millions of Americans are bound to the Caribbean and the Americas through ties of commerce, but also ties of kin. More than one million Americans trace their ancestry to Jamaica. More than one million Americans visit Jamaica each year. So we&amp;#8217;re committed to you and this region. And as I&amp;#8217;ve said before, in our foreign policy there are no senior or junior partners in the Americas; there are just partners.&amp;#8221; For this project a Jamaican and/or U.S. educational institution, policy research institution, or non-profit organization will conceptualize and execute a series of policy discussions to map out the future of this partnership, &amp;#8220;Dialogues between Democracies: The Future of U.S. &amp;#8211; Jamaica Bilateral Relations&amp;#8221;. An ideal proposal will detail a concrete program of activities to advance policy discussion in both countries, focusing on the following four priority areas, which correspond to the U.S. Embassy&amp;#8217;s strategic objectives: 1. Enhancing security and law enforcement cooperation. 2. Emboldening responsible and democratic governance. 3. Enabling Jamaican prosperity and health. 4. Endorsing the concept of full and equal citizenship for all Jamaicans. The activities could include: seminars, workshops, and conferences. Joint proposals between Jamaican and U.S. institutions are strongly encouraged. The activities should occur within Jamaica with the possibility of extension to the U.S. In addition to the policy dialogues, an ideal proposal would include an interactive publication (for example an online video, etc.) highlighting the key dialogue topics and significant outcomes. This product would be shared with U.S. and Jamaican educational institutions, policy research institutions, and non-profit organizations as the framework to deepening the U.S. &amp;#8211; Jamaica relationship. Additionally this product must be available at no additional cost for the U.S. Embassy to use as a benchmark for future and/or sustaining similar projects. A panel comprised of staff members of the U.S. Embassy, Kingston will review each complete proposal received before the application deadline. Please note that the potential grantee of the selected proposal will have to complete additional forms and registration documents within thirty days of notification in order to receive funding. </Description>

        <Description>The University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History (UOMNCH) is Oregon&amp;apos;s primary repository for anthropological and paleontological collections. UOMNCH is the recognized federally accepted repository of prehistoric collections in Oregon and is recognized as such under Oregon State law. The University of Oregon (UO) summer archaeological field school has maintained an active program of research and training in archaeology since 1937. The BLM has partnered with UO since 1988 to conduct such summer archaeology field schools and over the course of these many years, archaeological artifacts and other related materials such as soil samples, radiocarbon samples and faunal and botanical specimens have been uncovered and collected. These materials have been temporarily housed in an office/laboratory on the UO campus in preparation for long term curation at UOMNCH. The objective of this grant is to help defray costs of curation and moving previously collected archaeological collections into permanent storage at the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History.</Description>

        <Description>NIST is soliciting applications from eligible applicants to assess the economic impacts of meeting the Nation&amp;#8217;s need for technology infrastructure to support the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI). Advanced materials are essential to economic security and human well-being, with applications in industries aimed at addressing challenges in clean energy, national security, and human welfare, yet it can take 20 or more years to move a material after initial discovery to the market. This prospective (strategic planning) study involves, at a minimum, expertise in the following disciplines: technology assessment, high-tech industry behavioral and structural analyses, microeconomic modeling of complex technology development and commercialization patterns, high-tech industry survey and data collection techniques, and quantitative and qualitative analyses of technology infrastructure gaps that are inhibiting the advancement of technologies. The goal of the analysis is to identify gaps in the Nation&amp;#8217;s technology infrastructure needed to support the MGI and estimate the economic value of eliminating these gaps. The specific goals of this study are to: (1) assess the technological and economic trends in the research, development, adoption and deployment of MGI related technologies, including demonstrated and anticipated adopters of MGI technology; (2) assess gaps in the technology infrastructure associated with the efficient domestic development of highly complex emerging materials research technologies; (3) assess qualitatively these gaps in terms of industry investment criteria and research mechanisms used, (4) determine the quantitative empirical rankings of the economic benefit of eliminating these gaps based on novel data and modelling; and (5) assess the implied U.S. and international government policy responses, specific to phases in the R&amp;amp;D cycle, technology transfer efforts and subsequent scale-up (capital formation). </Description>

        <Description>This project helps to support a partnership between the BLM Moab Field Office and an outdoor education organization to establish a Hands on the Land field camp site in order to highlight and expand educational opportunities for students concerning nature, natural cycles and scientific observations. This project supports and works in conjunction with middle school curricula while providing students with &amp;quot;hands on&amp;quot; experiences in an outdoor field classroom. Students will be encouraged to learn about the natural processes, participate in recording and documenting cultural resources such as Ancestral Puebloan rock art, and participate in natural resource enhancement projects such as removal of non-native vegetation. A field camp is located on private property. The students would stay at the field camp for several nights alongside their instructors. The Field Camp will host local Moab eighth grade students. Many local students have never had the opportunity to sleep outdoors or to be immersed in and explore their own backyards. Students from all walks of life experience the natural elements and leave this outdoor classroom with greater understanding and appreciation for nature and the outdoor environment. The project entity will offer a limited number of scholarships to students who do not have the financial resources to attend the field camp sessions. Objectives: a. Project would establish an identified Hands on the Lands field camp. b. This project would also provide either the cost of bus transportation and/or to host a group of approximately 20 students for one week at the field camp. c. Students would be engaged in ways that meet the objective of &amp;quot;America&amp;apos;s Great Outdoors&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Take it Outside&amp;quot; programs, such as providing young people access to outdoor recreation and educational opportunities on public lands while fostering future public lands stewards, . d. The HOL site registration could increase awareness of the outdoor classroom as well as facilitate an opportunity to work with other HOL sites to meet agency objectives. </Description>

        <Description>Amendment No 3 4-30-12: USAID/Mali regrets to inform interested partners that the RFA is cancelled. ++++++++ The goal of this program is to support the consolidation of peace, reconciliation and development in northern Mali through a set of activities that will deliver quick, tangible results in the three northern regions: Tombouctou, Gao, and Kidal, and ultimately increase Citizen&amp;#146;s confidence in Government. By responding to community needs through tangible development investments, the NOMADE program seeks to measurably increase the legitimacy of both local and central Malian governments through meaningful civic engagement. The program objective is to increase the confidence of citizens of northern Mali that local and central government authorities are responding to their needs. Owing to inadequate resources, vast and harsh terrain, and growing insecurity, many essential social services in Northern Mali have ceased and citizens have grown accustomed to not having adequate health facilities, schools, wells, or boreholes. USAID will mitigate this situation by carrying out small infrastructure or other sub-projects at a local level. The sub-projects will be small in size and targeted to secure the most significant impact. It will be important to assess what aspect of services is actually missing. For example, some facilities exist but are dilapidated and require only renovations, others require complementary investments like staff houses to attract teachers to schools and health workers to health units, while others may require training of management or maintenance committees. As infrastructure projects, even on a small scale, can impose significant maintenance costs on communes with limited budgets, these cost burdens must be taken into consideration. </Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW Groundwater has been increasingly relied upon as a supplemental water supply in the Klamath Basin. Prior to 2001, groundwater conditions (water levels) were generally in equilibrium with climate; that is, water levels fluctuated over the decades with changes in climate-driven recharge. Starting in 2001, demand on groundwater resources significantly increased to make up for drought conditions that reduced primary surface water supplies to the Klamath Project. The increased groundwater pumping resulted in noteworthy declines in water levels in and around the Klamath Project where groundwater pumping was concentrated. The purpose of this project is for Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) to monitor and provide technical assistance to Klamath Water and Power Authority (KWAPA) and Reclamation on the administration of the Klamath Pilot Water Bank Program. It is critical to the success of the program that impacts due to groundwater pumping be monitored so that surface water supplies (water that the water bank is intended to reserve for lake-level and in-stream uses) are not compromised, and that senior groundwater users have a continued water supply. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT OWRD shall be responsible for the following: 1. Groundwater level and use monitoring 1.1. Monitor groundwater levels and use in the Klamath Project area relative to the Klamath Pilot Water Bank Program. 2. Provide technical assistance to KWAPA and Reclamation 2.1. OWRD will provide technical assistance to KWAPA and Reclamation for the administration of the Klamath Pilot Water Bank Program to minimize impacts to groundwater resources in the Klamath Project area. 3. Provide updates to Reclamation 3.1. OWRD will provide updates in Klamath Falls, OR with a presentation at the beginning of the grant and at the end of the grant period. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement on the grant will be to provide funding and implement oversight of federal stewardship responsibilities, including monitoring of project performance and financial accountability and reporting in accordance with the terms of the grant agreement. No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION Single Source Justification Description: The activity to be funded is necessary to the continuation of an activity presently being funded. Grant opportunity R10AC20099 ended on 9/30/2014. This grant will be a continuation of the work that was performed in the previous grant. OWRD collects data from the OWRD wells sites and are the only ones that have legal access to the wells. No other recipient would be able to perform these services without access to the wells. The continuation of these services is necessary because OWRD measures how much water has been drawn from the wells for irrigation and how the aquifer is decreasing with the amount of water being removed. They also have a working relationship with KWAPA that would take time to build if a different recipient should perform these services. STATUTORY AUTHORITY Public Law 85-624, (2) 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq. For the purpose of recognizing the vital contribution of our wildlife resources to the Nation, the increasing public interest and significance thereof due to expansion of our national economy and other factors, and to provide that wildlife conservation shall receive equal consideration and be coordinated with other features of water-resource development programs through the effectual and harmonious planning, development, maintenance, and coordination of wildlife conservation and rehabilitation for the purposes of sections 661 to 666c of this title in the United States, its Territories and possessions, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized (1) to provide assistance to, and cooperate with, Federal, State, and public or private agencies and organizations in the development, protection, rearing, and stocking of all species of wildlife, resources thereof, and their habitat, in controlling losses of the same from disease or other causes, in minimizing damages from overabundant species, in providing public shooting and fishing areas, including easements across public lands for access thereto, and in carrying out other measures necessary to effectuate the purposes of said sections; (2) to make surveys and investigations of the wildlife of the public domain, including lands and waters or interests therein acquired or controlled by any agency of the United States; and (3) to accept donations of land and contributions of funds in furtherance of the purposes of said sections. </Description>

C. &amp;#167; 470] CFDA # and Title Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact To be filled out by Contracting OVERVIEW The objectives of this agreement are to further the UAMN missions of; (1) research, through the testing of two archaeological sites, and (2) teaching, by educating students and the public about the history and cultural resources of central Alaska through two archaeology cultural camps. The first culture camp will focus on investigating a historic archaeology site located in Talkeetna, Alaska and will educates students and the public about the history of Talkeetna through hands-on participation in the excavation. The camp will expose and teach students and local residents about the history of their town. The second cultural camp will take place at the prehistoric Teklanika West archaeology site located in Denali National Park and Preserve. Students, teachers, local residents, and Native Alaskans, and Elders will participate in the camp and learn about the rich cultural heritage of the region by excavating one of the oldest known sites in Alaska. The NPS will be substantially involved in these activities by helping develop the curricula for and help teach at the Cultural Camps. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Denali National Park and Preserve supports this project which is recognizing the significant value of cultural resources of the region. It is a cooperative project between the National Park Service and UAMN who each have a mission to teach and educate the public about the history and cultural resources of Alaska. This project will result in public education by UAMN and NPS cooperating to teach culture camps in Talkeetna and at the Teklanika West site in Denali National Park. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The Talkeetna culture camp will expand on the 2013 testing of the site. These excavations will provide an educational opportunity for the community of Talkeetna to learn about the history of their town. The proposed limited excavations would occur in early July 2015 and last for approximately two weeks. The Teklanika West culture camp will expand on the understanding of the ancient use of the site and provide an educational opportunity for Alaska Natives, students, and teachers to engage in hands-on learning. The proposed limited excavations would coincide with the University of Alaska Fairbanks&amp;#8217; Alaska Summer Research Academy (ASRA), followed by two additional education components; an Murie Science and Learning Center (MSLC) Citizen Science component (participants are mostly secondary teachers from Alaska) and a local Alaska Native component. At all times, project staff from UAMN will be onsite to assist and supervise with the excavations of the sites. Standard field methods will be employed during the excavations at the sites. In addition, site mapping equipment (total station and data recorders etc&amp;#8230;) will also be used during these excavations. A. The Recipient agrees to: 1. Coordinate with NPS education and resources staff to provide students with leadership, teaching, and cultural history training. 2. Develop in conjunction with NPS Cultural Resource Staff the curriculum for the Culture Camps. 3. Provide three or more staff to co-supervise the Cultural Camps along with NPS staff. 4. Provide excavation equipment for culture camp participants 5. Post process artifacts and data collected from the culture camps. 6. Teach and administer the Culture Camps with NPS Cultural Resource Staff. 7. Ensure all relevant equipment purchased remains property of Cultural Resources, which may be used in future camps. 8. Provide final reports from these excavations to NPS. 9. Develop emergency action plans for each culture camp. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Within this paragraph use the following language to address NPS Substantial involvement: Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Coordinate with UAMN staff to recruit students, Native Alaskans, Elders, and community members to participate in the Cultural Camps. 2. Provide NTE $ 50,746 in financial assistance to UAMN to achieve the purposes of this agreement. 3. To the extent practical and depending on availability, allow UAMN personnel to use government equipment and infrastructure to achieve the goals of the project (e.g. electronics for audiovisual needs, use of Teklanika Field Camp, use of Murie Science and Learning Center classroom). Any such equipment and infrastructure shall be accounted for according to appropriate NPS rules, regulations and standards. 4. Assist in the coordination of camp and logistics and other needs as practicable. 5. Develop the Culture Camp curriculums with UAMN staff and co-teach the camps. 6. Assist in the development and delivery of the camps by assigning appropriate personnel to work with the students (i.e. cultural resource staff, archaeologists.) 7. Determine locations and make reservations for NPS sites and facilities used in the implementation of the camps. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications Example (4) Unique Qualifications Single Source Justification Description: The University of Alaska Museum of the North (UAMN) is the primary repository for Alaska Arctic and Subarctic archaeological collections. It houses the largest collection of Alaskan archaeological remains in the world and the staff and researchers who work at the museum have more knowledge of these artifacts and of the archaeology of Alaska than those at any other institute. The museum has an active archaeology education program which when combined with their extensive collections and research makes them uniquely qualified to partner and use the cultural camp as an opportunity to build understanding of Alaska&amp;apos;s archaeology and cultural resources and serve the community. UAMN also has works closely with Alaska Native Students to teach them about the cultural resources of Alaska. UAMN is the only appropriate recipient for this agreement as no other institutes which have missions similar to those of UAMN also provide the educational outreach that UAMN does or have working close relationships with Alaska Native students. </Description>

        <Description>Joint ventures, the partnerships that were originally formed to implement the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, are regional, self-directed organizations involving Federal, State, and local governments, corporations, and a wide range of non-governmental conservation groups that have proven to be a successful means of developing cooperative conservation efforts to protect waterfowl and other bird habitats. Joint ventures address multiple local, regional, and continental goals for sustaining migratory bird populations by developing scientifically based landscape conservation plans and habitat projects that benefit migratory birds and other wildlife populations. Using the products of biological planning, joint ventures create landscape conservation designs that can direct individual habitat management actions to where they have the greatest effect. These conservation designs are used in turn to enable and encourage partners to focus their conservation programs and resources on the highest priority areas in the amounts needed to sustain healthy populations of migratory bird species. The joint ventures incorporate biological planning, conservation design, and conservation delivery with monitoring and research in an adaptive resource management framework (i.e., strategic habitat conservation) to create the biological-science and conservation-partnership base which will allow the joint venture partners to pool resources for regional projects in critical habitats for priority bird species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service currently provides base operations support for 21 joint ventures. Authorities for the Service&amp;#65533;s Joint Ventures Program are the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 742a-754; Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, 16 U.S.C.661-667(e); Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C, 2901-2911; and Migratory Bird Treaty Act, (16U.S.C. 709a). For information about joint ventures see: http://www.fws.gov/birds/management/bird-conservation-partnership-and-initiatives/migratory-bird-joint-ventures.php The Rio Grande Joint Venture is among the joint ventures that currently receive funding through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for base operations support. The Southwest Region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting proposals for the base operations, i.e., support staff and activities/functions, for the Rio Grande Joint Venture partnership. First established in 2008, the Rio Grande Joint Venture partnership is directed by a Management Board that ensures that commitment and support is maintained to achieve the goals and objectives of this migratory bird joint venture. Members of the Rio Grande Joint Venture Management Board include administrators from the federal, state and private sectors; these members (i.e., partners) coordinate their otherwise independent actions in the cooperative pursuit and refinement of the joint venture&amp;#65533;s goals and objectives. Support staff for the Rio Grande Joint Venture, approved by the Management Board, includes a Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator. The successful applicant is expected to provide personnel and associated office space/support to coordinate, support and facilitate the activities of the Rio Grande Joint Venture Management Board; coordinate development and funding of joint venture projects; and organize planning, tracking and evaluation, and communications necessary to advance the purposes of the Rio Grande Joint Venture partnership. The Management Board is guided by the Rio Grande Joint Venture Implementation Plan (copy attached), and the matrix of desired characteristics of habitat joint venture partnerships (copy attached). </Description>

        <Description>The Service needs additional information on eagle (Bald &amp;amp; Golden) and raptor (especially Ferruginous Hawk) survival, mortality causes, habitat use, movement patterns, and territory size throughout their western ranges. Region 6 of the Service supports a large proportion of Golden Eagle and Ferruginous Hawk population in the U.S., including several states that support high breeding, migration, and overwintering densities. Bald Eagles are increasingly more common in Region 6 as well, and are even nesting in highly urbanized areas now. The Service needs additional data movement, survival, &amp;amp; habitat use data for these species of eagles, especially from WY (a core area for Golden Eagles and Ferruginous Hawks), CO (for Bald Eagles along the Front Range), and MT. Data gathered from this project will help inform various aspects of eagle management for the Service, which is vital to maintaining the preservation standard for the species under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Project data also will help inform future Service permitting decisions under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act by providing data essential to making science-based permitting decisions. Deliverables include between 20-40 territorial/breeding or migratory eagles and Ferruginous Hawks tagged (depending on number of telemetry units we are able to purchase or refurbish) and a report of surveys of a sample of historic Ferruginous Hawk nests.</Description>

        <Description>The pronghorn population in Arizona has severely declined since the late 1800&amp;#65533;s, with the largest impacts over the last 30 years caused by dramatic land development and habitat fragmentation. Pronghorn have great difficulty crossing range fences, and are even more averse to crossing highways. A series of pronghorn telemetry studies around Wupatki National monument (WUPA) since 1992 have highlighted the habitat barrier effect of U.S. Highway 89 (US 89) on the local pronghorn population. Recent genetic research confirms US 89 and other major highways across the plateau are critical long-term movement barriers, with distinct pronghorn subpopulations developing within the habitat blocks they form. As the climate warms, pronghorn will likely need to range even longer distances to reach quality summer range and available water. Under this project, NPS Natural Resource funding will contribute to a partnership of multiple state and federal agencies, private ranches, and non-profit organizations to reconnect 2,700 square miles of American pronghorn habitat across the Coconino Plateau of northern Arizona. Pronghorn telemetry data will be acquired to compare movement responses to these habitat connectivity treatments to control data acquired during 2007-2010. Landscape level planning and widespread implementation of modification projects was initiated in 2011. The study objectives include testing the effectiveness of the various modifications; developing valid design specifications for pronghorn-friendly highway and range fences; assessing pronghorn habitat utilization in juniper reduction areas; and prioritizing key habitat connectivity areas and corridors, including areas that increase mobility and resiliency under climate-driven habitat change scenarios. The research directly supports planning for a pronghorn passage across US 89 near WUPA, which could be the first of its kind for this species within Arizona. The study results will also be available for planning future pronghorn habitat connectivity actions under fine-scale climate warming scenarios.</Description>

        <Description>Up to $5.5 million is anticipated in Fiscal Year 2012 for TN Training Grants. Approximately $1.5 million will be set aside to provide non-competitive grants (up to $50,000) to State agencies that did not receive a non-competitive grant for FY 2011 and that commit to specific strategies to increase the number of HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC) applications submitted for approval (http://teamnutrition.usda.gov/HealthierUS/index.html). State agencies that received a non-competitive grant in FY 2011 are not eligible to apply again for a FY 2012 non-competitive grant. Up to $350,000 may be requested through a competitive grants process. Up to $350,000 may be requested per State agency to include both competitive and non-competitive grants. For example, a State may apply for a $50,000 non-competitive grant, but they would then only be eligible to apply for up to $300,000 in competitive funding; the maximum amount a State may request is $350,000. The submission of an application for a non-competitive grant guarantees funding, provided the application meets all the required criteria. The submission of an application for a competitive grant does NOT guarantee funding for a competitive grant. Both competitive and non-competitive TN Training Grants will be funded for the period of September 30, 2012- September 30, 2014. Funding for approved TN Training Grants will be provided through the Grant Award/Letter of Credit process, in the same manner as other Federal funds, upon receipt of a properly executed Federal-State TN Training Grant Agreement and subject to availability of funding. All TN Training Grant funds must be obligated and all activities under the TN Training Grant must be completed by September 30, 2014.</Description>

        <Description>This Cooperative Agreement advances the implementation of the National Preparedness system and National Incident Management System (NIMS) through the development and deployment of consistent systems for the request, dispatch, use and return of resources in all States during all-hazard incidents requiring mutual aid to augment local capabilities. This will improve State capabilities for providing timely assistance to incident-affected jurisdictions and reduce the need for FEMA to use disaster funds to have Federal departments and Agencies provide the assistance. Through EMAC, a disaster-impacted State can request and receive assistance from other member states quickly and efficiently, resolving two key issues up front: liability and reimbursement.</Description>

        <Description>USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for collaborative synthesis concerning effects of hydrologic variation on stream fishes. A focus of this project will be integrating results from intensive field studies of population and metapopulation dynamics, with understanding gained from analyses of population states measured across gradients of hydrologic condition. Funding is intended to support a post-doctoral associate, who with their CESU faculty advisor, will collaborate with USGS scientists to analyze field data on fish species population dynamics in relation to streamflow patterns, and to explore frameworks for integrating diverse ecological studies to provide a scientific basis for ecological flows with respect to supporting biodiversity. This effort will build on previous work conducted in streams in the Apalachicola River basin (ACF).</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible Applicants: (a) An IHE is eligible to receive funds under the NASNTI Program if it qualifies as a Native American-Serving   Nontribal Institution. At the time of application, IHEs applying for funds under the NASNTI Program must have an enrollment of undergraduate students that is at least 10 percent Native American, as defined as   follows:      Native American means a person who is of a tribe, people, or culture that is indigenous to the United States.      At the time of submission of their applications, applicants must certify their total undergraduate headcount enrollment and that 10 percent of the IHE&amp;apos;s enrollment is Native American. An assurance form, which is included in the application materials for this competition, must be signed by an official for the applicant and submitted.      To qualify as an eligible institution under the NASNTI Program, an institution must also be--      (i) Accredited or pre-accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association that the Secretary has determined to be a reliable authority as to the quality of education or training offered;      (ii) Legally authorized by the State in which it is located to be a junior or community college or to provide an educational program for which it awards a bachelor&amp;apos;s degree; and      (iii) Designated as an ``eligible institution&amp;apos;&amp;apos; by demonstrating that it has: (A) an enrollment of needy students as described in 34 CFR 607.3; and (B) below average educational and general expenditures per full-time equivalent (FTE) undergraduate student as described in 34 CFR 607.4.        Note: The notice for applying for designation as an eligible institution was published in the Federal Register on November 3, 2014 (79 FR 65197) and applications were due on December 22, 2014.   Only institutions that submitted applications by the deadline date and that the Department determined are eligible may apply for a   grant.

Further, a current HSI Program grantee may not give up its HSI grant in order to receive a grant under any title III, part   A program.      An eligible HSI that is not a current grantee under the HSI Program may apply for a FY 2015 grant under all title III, part A programs for which it is eligible, as well as under the HSI Program. However, a successful applicant may receive only one grant.      2. a. Cost Sharing or Matching: This program does not require cost sharing or matching unless funds are used for an endowment.      b. Supplement-Not-Supplant: This program involves supplement-not-supplant funding requirements. Grant funds must be used to supplement and, to the extent practical, increase the funds that would otherwise be available for the activities to be carried out under the grant and in no case supplant those funds (34 CFR 607.30(b)).</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The purpose of this project is to identify, plan, and execute landscape restoration and buffle grass control in high-value areas on IFNM. The actions will be executed under the leadership of AZNPS using volunteers, and when necessary, contract labor. Through the execution of these projects, youth groups and academic studies will be included to the full extent practicable. Every opportunity will be taken to raise public awareness and train interns, students, and environmental groups. Focus areas on IFNM will include Ragged Top to the Watermans as well as the boulder petroglyph sites of Cocoraque and Turtle Hill. b. Objectives: Identification of priority projects, on-the-ground scouting, and monitoring of success. AZNPS will work closely with BLM and other subject partners to identify priority projects based on high-value areas and urgency based on erosion severity and infestation ability to spread. Project areas will be scouted on the ground before work is defined, as the terrain is uneven and landscape disturbances and infestations are often masked by vegetation and slopes. Surveys might be required to monitor vegetative changes. 1 Landscape restoration projects Where required, landscape restoration projects may include heavy equipment work at the outset to move large rocks and make large soil displacements. Any ground-disturbing activity will be preceded by section 106 compliance review and any necessary surveys. Construction, using hand tools, of check dams and run-off deflectors to control erosion and distribution of water. Collection and subsequent planting of seeds and fruits of native plants for the purposes of restoring native habitat and properly functioning ecosystem. Collection and distribution of slash, weed-free hay, or other BLM-approved mulching material. Monitor results, analyze success, report to BLM to inform adaptive management. 2 Buffelgrass Eradication Projects Patches exceeding 1 acre in size will require contract herbicide spraying for at least the first pass. Follow-up herbicide sprayings of regrowth and seedlings will be made at appropriate times following rainfall events. Monitor results, analyze success, report to BLM to inform adaptive management. 3 Academic studies and on-site training Both informal and formal academic studies will be conducted to better understand and improve effective restoration and buffle grass control methods on IFNM, with emphasis on native plant restoration. Studies will focus on BLM priorities. 4 On-site educational outreach Tours and on-site hands-on training will be conducted for schools, youth groups, and environmental groups. </Description>

        <Description>The intent of the Qualitative Research Award is to support qualitative research studies that will help researchers and clinicians better understand the experiences of individuals with SCI and thereby identify the most effective paths for adjusting to disability and/or improving overall quality of life, health, and functional status after SCI. This mechanism is specifically focused on military and Veteran populations in the years after SCI, examining the issues, barriers, and promoters of success for Service members during the transition from initial injury and acute care through rehabilitation and community reintegration; therefore, collaboration with military and VA researchers and clinicians is encouraged. Factors that may affect the rehabilitation and reintegration of spinal cord-injured Service members include, but are not limited to, age, gender, ethnicity, family members/caregivers, psychological health, severity of injury, type of medical care (e.g., civilian, VA or military facility), and co-morbid conditions. Qualitative research is a form of social inquiry that focuses on understanding how people interpret and make sense of their experiences and the world in which they live (i.e., seeks to understand the human experience). Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from basic discovery, population-based studies, a clinician&amp;#8217;s first-hand knowledge of patients, or anecdotal data. Appropriate qualitative research topics include, but are not limited to, the explorative, descriptive, predictive, or explanatory study of the: &amp;#8226; Barriers preventing Service members with SCI from returning to active duty, returning home, or reintegrating into the community. &amp;#8226; Impact of personal factors and co-morbid medical conditions that influence or mediate a patient&amp;#8217;s health or quality of life during hospitalization following SCI. &amp;#8226; Impact of cultural values and beliefs on the success of rehabilitation and community reintegration. &amp;#8226; Impact of medical care decisions (e.g., choice of civilian, VA, or military facility, treatment type, etc.) on the success of rehabilitation and community reintegration. &amp;#8226; Impact of care provision on the spouse and/or families of the spinal cord injured to include career issues, emotional stress, physical strain and injury, intimacy, etc. The FY15 SCIRP encourages applications that specifically address one or more of the following areas: 1. Pre-hospital, en route care, and early hospital management of SCI 2. Development, validation, and timing of promising interventions to address consequences of SCI and to improve recovery, including, but not limited to: &amp;#8226; Bladder, bowel, and autonomic dysfunction &amp;#8226; Cardiometabolic dysfunction &amp;#8226; Neuropathic pain and sensory dysfunction &amp;#8226; Pressure ulcers &amp;#8226; Respiratory dysfunction &amp;#8226; Sexual dysfunction 3.

        <Description>Inventory, manage, prevent, and eradicate whenever possible plants designated as noxious or invasive. To know and understand the best means of control for specific species and the consequences of unchecked noxious and invasive weed and plant growth. The recipient and BLM will work together with private, state, county and non-federal landowners to prevent, contain and control the spread of noxious and invasive plants. Because these plants move rapidly from one owners land to another, joint efforts to eradicate, contain or control noxious and invasive plants would reduce adverse impacts on public, private and state lands and reduce costs to both BLM and other owners. This would help protect the public lands from encroaching noxious and invasive weeds, insuring a healthy watershed, and save money that would be required to control noxious weed population if left unchecked. It is more economically sound to treat small populations of noxious and invasive weeds wherever they are found regardless of land status. Only pesticides and adjuvants approved for use on BLM within allowable rates can be used on BLM administered lands as identified in the Record of Decision Vegetation Treatments Using Herbicides on Bureau of Land Management lands in 17 Western States Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. Recipient would work closely with city, state, and federal entities, private land owners, with regard to education and awareness. Public notification of areas to be treated would be the responsibility of the recipient. Pesticide use Reports would be submitted to BLM within 24 hours of treatment along with computer generated maps stating location and acreage of area sprayed and GPS point, line, or polygon data. </Description>

        <Description>The National Historical Publications and Records Commission desires to make historical records of national significance to the United States broadly available by disseminating digital surrogates on the Internet. Projects may focus on the papers of major figures from American life or cover broad historical movements in politics, military, business, social reform, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience. The historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project. The Commission will not consider proposals that charge for access. Grants are awarded for digitizing documentary source materials. Applications that do not include digitization of analog archival records will be considered ineligible. If you are working with born-digital records, please review the Access to Historical Records or the State Government Electronic Records announcements. Applicants may digitize a single collection or set of collections for online dissemination. Such online publications should provide basic access to collections. Collaborations among repositories are encouraged. In addition, applicants may undertake more complex descriptive work, such as document transcription, tagging, or geo-referencing, if these additional access points are justified by the value of the material and its expected users. For a comprehensive list of the Commission&amp;apos;s limitations on funding, please see What We Do and Do Not Fund. Award Information Applicants may apply for funding for one to two years. Award amounts can range from $20,000 to $150,000. The Commission expects to make as many as 7 grants in this category, for a total of up to $500,000. Grants begin no earlier than July 1, 2016. The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all publications, project websites, and other products that result from its support. Eligibility Information Eligible applicants: Nonprofit organizations or institutions Colleges, universities, and other academic institutions State or local government agencies Federally-acknowledged or state-recognized Native American tribes or groups Cost Sharing The total costs of a project are shared between the NHPRC and the applicant organization. The Commission ordinarily provides no more than 50 per cent of total project costs for Digital Dissemination of Archival Collections projects. NHPRC grant recipients are not permitted to use grant funds for indirect costs (as indicated in 2 CFR 2600.101). Cost sharing is required. The applicant&amp;#194;&amp;#8217;s financial contribution may include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. Indirect costs must be listed under the applicant&amp;#194;&amp;#8217;s cost sharing contribution. Other Requirements Applicant organizations must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submitting an application, maintain SAM registration throughout the application and award process, and include a valid DUNS number in their application. Details on SAM registration and requesting a DUNS number can be found at the System for Award Management website at https://sam.gov. Please refer to the User Guides section and the Grants Registrations PDF. A complete application includes the Application for Federal Assistance (Standard Form 424), Assurances - Non-Construction Programs (Standard Form 424B), a Project Narrative, Summary, Supplementary Materials, and Budget. Applications lacking these items will not be considered. Ineligible applications will not be reviewed.</Description>

        <Description>The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks projects that encourage citizen engagement with historical records, especially those available online, and/or projects that train people on how to enhance digital literacy skills for using historical records. The development of new online tools for literacy and engagement is highly encouraged. Projects might create and develop programs to engage people in basic archival processes. For example, projects may wish to enlist &amp;quot;citizen archivists&amp;quot; in projects to accelerate digitization and online public access to historical records. This may include, but is not limited to, improving crowdsourcing efforts for identifying, tagging, transcribing, annotating, or otherwise enhancing digitized historical records. Training in digital literacy for such &amp;quot;citizen archivists&amp;quot; should also be included. Projects might also develop digital archives training for the public. For example, projects may seek to increase individual understanding of technology operations and concepts so that people can engage in effective personal digital archiving. The NHPRC is looking for projects that create models and technologies that other institutions can adopt without cost. In general, collaborations between archivists, documentary editors, historians, educators, and/or community-based individuals are more likely to create a competitive proposal. For a comprehensive list of the Commission&amp;apos;s limitations on funding, please see What We Do and Do Not Fund. Applications that consist entirely of ineligible activities will not be considered. Award Information A grant normally is for one to three years. The Commission expects to make up to six grants of between $50,000 and $150,000. The total amount allocated to this category is up to $500,000. Grants begin no earlier than July 1, 2016 The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all publications and other products that result from its support. Eligibility Eligible applicants: Nonprofit organizations or institutions Colleges, universities, and other academic institutions State or local government agencies Federally-acknowledged or state-recognized Native American tribes or groups Cost Sharing The total costs of a project are shared between the NHPRC and the applicant organization. The Commission provides no more than 50 per cent of total direct project costs in the Literacy and Engagement with Historical Records category. NHPRC grant recipients are not permitted to use grant funds for indirect costs (as indicated in 2 CFR 2600.101). The applicant&amp;#194;&amp;#8217;s financial contribution may include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project.

        <Description>The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks projects that will accession, describe, preserve, and provide access to state government electronic records of enduring value. Government information maintained by state archives is a national asset, serving as important resources for documenting rights and capturing the national experience. The NHPRC will support projects that actively engage in activities that preserve electronic record assets and make them available for public discovery. The Commission encourages collaborative projects that bring together multiple parties to plan for and carry out project goals and outcomes. The NHPRC strongly encourages applicants to leverage the resources resulting from the Council of State Archivists&amp;apos; State Electronic Records Initiative (SERI) to inform their work. Projects in this program cannot digitize historical records. If you intend to digitize as part of archival processing of materials, refer to the Access to Historical Records grant announcement. If you already have description information in place and want to create digital surrogates, refer to the Digital Dissemination of Archival Collections grant announcement. In addition, projects cannot establish electronic document management systems that only manage born-digital records with limited retention periods. Applications requesting support for these activities will be considered ineligible in this program. For a comprehensive list of the Commission&amp;apos;s limitations on funding, please see What We Do and Do Not Fund. Award Information A grant normally is for one to three years and up to $200,000. The Commission expects to make 3 or more grants in this category, for a total of up to $600,000. Grants begin no earlier than July 1, 2016. The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all products that result from its support. Eligibility These Electronic Records grants are awarded only to the state archives in each state, or to another state agency or nonprofit organization responsible for or acting on behalf of the state archives. States also include the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and United States territories. Cost Sharing The total costs of a project are shared between the NHPRC and the applicant organization. The Commission ordinarily provides no more than 50 per cent of total project costs for State Government Electronic Records projects. NHPRC grant recipients are not permitted to use grant funds for indirect costs (as indicated in 2 CFR 2600.101). Cost sharing is required. The applicant&amp;#194;&amp;#8217;s financial contribution may include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. Indirect costs must be listed under the applicant&amp;#194;&amp;#8217;s cost sharing contribution. Other Requirements Applicant organizations must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submitting an application, maintain SAM registration throughout the application and award process, and include a valid DUNS number in their application. Details on SAM registration and requesting a DUNS number can be found at the System for Award Management website at https://sam.gov. Please refer to the User Guides section and the Grants Registrations PDF. A complete application includes the Application for Federal Assistance (Standard Form 424), Assurances - Non-Construction Programs (Standard Form 424B), a Project Narrative, Summary, Supplementary Materials, and Budget. Applications lacking these items will not be considered. Ineligible applications will not be reviewed.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number To be filled out by Contracting Project Title Evaluation of nearshore communities and habitats Ecological Processes in Lower Cook Inlet Recipient University of Alaska Fairbanks Principle Investigator / Program Manager Katrin Iken Total Anticipated Award Amount $45,900.20 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? To be filled out by Contracting Anticipated Period of Performance 05/01/2015 through 04/30/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority FA Legal Authority for this TA: 16 USC 5933 (a) CFDA # and Title CFDA: 15.945 Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact To be filled out by Contracting OVERVIEW The objective of this agreement is to support the collation of existing information on current intertidal and shallow subtidal benthic species across multiple habitat types that are found in proximity of the BOEM Cook Inlet Planning Area proposed in the Final Outer Continental Shelf Oil &amp;amp; Gas Leasing Program 2012-2017. The BOEM Proposed Final Outer Continental Shelf Oil &amp;amp; Gas Leasing Program 2012-2017 includes a lease sale in the Cook Inlet Planning Area in 2017. An OCS Cook Inlet Lease Sale NEPA analysis hasn&amp;apos;t been undertaken since 2003. Updated information regarding the physical and biological environment, including variability in oceanographic conditions, nearshore benthic communities, as well as data related to sensitive species, is needed to support NEPA analyses conducted for the planned lease sale. The results of these studies will be used in NEPA analyses and documentation for an upcoming lease sale, and potential future Explorations Plans (EPs), and Development and Production Plans (DPPs). STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN NPS will coordinate the project. UAF will provide taxonomical expertise in the realm of intertidal and subtidal invertebrates and algaes. The NPS will be providing expertise on field techniques and ensure compatibility with Gulf Watch Alaska when appropriate during this project. They will also conduct all subtidal surveys and ensure protocols match those already in existence in Kachemak Bay. NPS and UAF currently work collaboratively on the Gulf Watch Alaska project. The project completion report will be co-authored by NPS and UAF personnel. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT University of Alaska Fairbanks agrees to: a. Provide expertise in study design of subtidal sampling. b. Provide interpretation of data collection. c. Conduct subtidal surveys in proximity to intertidal sites of canopy kelps in Lower Cook Inlet in cooperation with NPS personnel. d. Provide NPS with recommendations for continued site assessment work for more extensive evaluation of subtidal canopy kelps to document kelps and select intertidal invertebrates in Lower Cook Inlet. e. As funding permits, conduct further site assessments based on recommendations provided in task C. Sites will include intertidal areas and subtidal canopy kelps. Protocols implemented should be compatible with existing protocols when possible. Examples of existing protocols include, but are not limited to: NPS SWAN, Gulf Watch Alaska, NaGISA/Census of Marine Life and where suitable, MARINe. f. Co-author the completion report with NPS. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: a. Oversee the compilation of existing historic datasets and reports on benthic organisms and habitats in the intertidal and subtidal kelp biota in cooperation with CIRCAC, NOAA, UAF and any other relevant partners. b. Conduct intertidal surveys in cooperation with UAF, CIRCAC and NOAA personnel. c. As funding permits, conduct further site assessments based on recommendations provided by UAF in task C. d. Co-author the completion report with UAF e. NPS PIs are coordinating this project in its entirety including, but not limited to, ensuring reporting deadlines are met and project objectives are completed. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications Single Source Justification Description: This project depends on the knowledge and expertise of individuals from UAF in intertidal and subtidal invertebrates and algaes. NPS is also requiring sampling of the subtidal. Sampling the subtidal requires the use of SCUBA diving and our UAF partners are considered expert s in this area. Protocols for sampling the subtidal are in place in Kachemak Bay and will be implemented in this study area. This project also requires a substantial understanding of Gulf Watch Alaska protocols and SOPs. Extensive amounts of time (upwards of 1 month) would be required of the NPS PIs if training in these protocols and SOPs were required. </Description>

        <Description>This opportunity provides Federal financial assistance to help prevent the extinction and aid in the recovery of the Attwater&amp;apos;s prairie chicken (APC). The purpose of the Endangered Species Act is to provide a means by which the ecosystems upon which endangered and threatened species depend may be conserved, to provide a program for the conservation of these species, and to take appropriate steps to achieve the purposes of treaties and conventions set forth in the law. This opportunity is limited to projects carrying out actions described in the species&amp;apos; approved recovery plan, in the implementation schedule of the species&amp;apos; approved recovery plan, and actions recommended in completed 5 year status review of the species. Authorizing statues include Endangered Species Act of 1973, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq, as amended; Public Law 93 205, 87 Stat. 884, Endangered Species Act Amendments of 1978, Public Law 95 632, 92 Stat. 3751, and Endangered Species Act Amendments of 1982, Public Law 97 304, 96 Stat. 1411. The APC is a critically endangered grouse found in the coastal prairie of Texas. Currently, about 100 birds exist in the wild. Efforts to propagate and release APCs into the wild have been ongoing since 1992 and 1996, respectively. Monitoring of released birds is critical to understanding recovery limitations and in managing the species in the wild. Monitoring efforts and other recovery actions are carried out through the use of youth service organizations.</Description>

        <Description>The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The Second Chance Act Programs are designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by offender reentry and recidivism reduction. &amp;#147;Reentry&amp;#148; is not a specific program, but rather an evidence-based process that starts when an offender is initially incarcerated and ends when the offender has been successfully reintegrated in his or her community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes the delivery of a variety of evidence-based program services for every program participant in both a pre- and post-release setting</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was created as an independent agency by Congress in 1974 to enable the nation to safely use radioactive materials for beneficial civilian purposes while ensuring that people and the environment are protected. The NRC regulates the nation&amp;apos;s civilian use of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, to promote the common defense and security, and to protect the environment. This regulatory control is most commonly accomplished through the process of licensing those that use and/or possess radioactive material. An important component of safe use of material is proper disposition of material (typically through transfer to another authorized entity or proper final disposal) that is unwanted or orphan. Unwanted materials is normally defined as material under regulatory control but no longer in use and no longer wanted by the user. Orphan materials are typically defined as materials that are out of regulatory control, e.g., material that has been found by a member of the public, or as specified in the NRC glossary or in accordance with other NRC guidance. NRC is interested in projects that promote the NRC mission by; 1) effectively providing information regarding the disposition of unwanted and orphan material; and 2) effectively providing assistance for the disposition of orphan material. The goal of this grant is: Proper disposition of material that is unwanted or is orphan, in order to ensure safe use radioactive materials for beneficial civilian purposes while ensuring that people and the environment are protected. The primary objectives of this grant: 1. Effectively provide information regarding the disposition of unwanted and orphan material; 2. Effectively provide assistance for the disposition of orphan material. The areas of interest to accomplish the objectives including but not limited to: - compliance with all Federal and State regulatory requirements regarding disposition of radioactive material, including those for possession, transfer, transport and disposal - ensuring that funds expended are done in an efficient and prudent manner, ensuring best value while maintaining safety, - ability to assemble, maintain, and provide accurate information regarding available disposition options, processes and requirements for disposition of material, and available service providers for activities related to disposition of radioactive material, including: characterization, packaging, transportation, and surveys, - ability to produce accurate, knowledgeable determination of available disposition options for individual unwanted or orphan material situations, and provide recommendations of options to possessors of material, - ability to effectively coordinated with State and local governmental entities regarding unwanted or orphan material, and - capability to address issues related to orphan material. </Description>

        <Description>Twin research supported by the National Institute on Aging has transformed our understanding of behavior over the lifespan and allowed us to study the interplay of genetic and environmental factors that affect how we age (e.g. lifestyle factors, socio-economic status, social engagement), age-related changes in behavior (e.g. cognition, personality) and behavioral concomitants of healthy aging (e.g. well-being) using primarily a quantitative genetic approach. The purpose of this FOA is to accelerate progress in behavioral genomics and aging via the establishment of a twin-epigenomic network that will facilitate collaboration between existing twin studies of aging, including work on the harmonization of phenotypes and (epi)genotype collection procedures as well as the development of statistical methods for the analysis and meta-analysis of data sets including genomic, epigenomic, gene expression, and behavioral phenotypic data. Larger scale support for the collection of samples suitable for epigenomic analysis in specific studies may be supported by other opportunities. </Description>

        <Description>The San Diego Zoo organization (SD Zoo Global, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Safari Park and the Institute for Conservation Research) are active participants in the Condor Recovery Program, operating a captive breeding facility, a release program in Baja California, and displaying condors as a public information, education and outreach capability. Activities are permitted by the Service and are necessary for the survival of the highly endangered species. The Service has provided funding and expertise to develop the captive breeding facilities, and this agreement facilities the continued use of that asset. Continued captive breeding is necessary for the survival of the species, and continued active flock management is also considered a necessary part of the recovery effort. San Diego Zoo Global ensures staff, facilities and funding far in excess of those provided by the Service, and these matching funds are essential for the recovery of the species.</Description>

        <Description> This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AC00430 Project Title Connecting Yakutat Youth and Elders to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve Recipient Yakutat Tlingit Tribe Total Anticipated Award Amount $15,000 Cost Share 25% Anticipated Length of Agreement 1 Year Anticipated Period of Performance 6/15/2015-9/30/2015 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC &amp;#167;1723(c)(1) Public Land Corps CFDA # and Title 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Unique Qualifications Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro 907-644-3315 OVERVIEW This Cooperative Agreement is entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, (NPS) Alaska Region, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park &amp;amp; Preserve (WRST), and the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe (YTT) for the involvement of youth in the care and enhancement of public resources at Esker Stream Public Use Cabin (PUC) and the outer coastline of the park and to facilitate the preservation of Yakutat Tlingit traditional knowledge about and connections to National Park system lands within WRST. The latter will help the NPS to fulfill its legal mandate to preserve the ethnographic resources associated with an Alaska Native tribe with traditional association to national park system lands. This Cooperative Agreement will help the repair of the Esker Stream PUC, the cleanup of abandon cabin materials, and cleanup of the outer park coastline and to facilitate a cultural education fieldtrip where Tlingit elders will interact with the youth crew in their traditional homeland, sharing traditional knowledge about the place and its resources. The Yakutat Tlingit Tribe is a federally recognized tribal government located in Yakutat, Alaska. The traditional homeland of two Tlingit clans affiliated with YTT includes lands within Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. 1. Specify a partnership between the NPS and YTT for cleaning up the abandon cabin and the debris on the outer coast. 2. Expose four to six youth to the park&amp;#8217;s public use and outer coastal resources in an effort for the NPS to connect to youth. 3. Clean up debris at one of the park&amp;#8217;s Public Use Cabins (PUC) and the outer coast, through the Public Lands Corps (PLC) program and the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe (YTT). 4. Preserve Yakutat Tlingit traditional knowledge about and connections to National Park system lands. This can best be accomplished by ensuring that living tribal members retain their homeland by visiting it so that elders can pass traditional knowledge to youth in place. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Hire and provide a four to six youth member crew trained in basic clean up skills. Consistent with the Public Land Corps program guidelines, the youth should be between 16 and 25 years of age and US citizens or permanent residents. Youth will be supervised by NPS while on site in backcountry and safely for up to 15 work days during June 2015. 2. Assure the four to six youth member crew will be physically able to perform manual labor of moderately intense physical effort for an eight-hour day. 3. Hired youth will complete cleanup of debris to the expectation of the NPS. 4. Coordinate work schedule with the NPS Youth Project Coordinator to ensure project completion within target schedule as stated above. 5. Coordinate clean-up project logistics with the NPS Youth Project Coordinator, including meal planning. 6. Handle all administrative records required for youth members. 7. Pay all administrative and operating expenses for maintaining crew members and leaders and request reimbursement from the NPS for those expenses as listed in the budget documents (SF-424A). 8. Provide itemized statements for all reimbursable expenses of allowable and allocable costs of performing work agreed to. 9. Assign a Yakutat Tlingit Tribe representative to coordinate the cultural education trip with NPS, including planning, scheduling and organizing the trip. 10. Coordinate with the appropriate clans to compile a list of elders and other tribal members to participate in cultural education trip to Wrangell Saint Elias National Park and Preserve&amp;#8217;s (WRST) Yakutat District. 11. Identify any additional elders to interview about their traditional knowledge of WRST lands and resources. 12. Process honorariums to elders/cultural consultants as appropriate for their participation in the cultural education trip, traditional knowledge interviews, and other project-related activities. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT 1. Assign a Youth Project Coordinator to conduct park and cabin orientation and safety, direct technical logistics of project, and provide guidance on the NPS goals and mission. 2. Provide a place to camp and use of facilities where and when appropriate. 3. Provide and maintain equipment and materials needed to accomplish the project for all crew members and leaders, including personal protective equipment (PPE), hand and power tools, camping equipment, and fuel for power tools and cooking. 4. Provide any educational opportunities when and when applicable. 5. Conduct compliance oversight of project prior to and during execution to ensure work is completed within agreed upon time frame. 6. Reimburse the YTT for all agreed upon costs illustrated in budget documents in accordance with project work. 7. Provide transportation between Yakutat and the work sites for the youth crew and leaders as well as for elders and other tribal members participating in the cultural education trip. Participants may ride in a government airplane or highway vehicle. 8. Assign a WRST employee to coordinate planning for the cultural education trip and associated traditional knowledge interviews, including planning, scheduling and organizing the trip.

The U.S. Department of Transportation&amp;apos;s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA), administers the national regulatory program to assure safe transportation of natural gas, petroleum, and other hazardous materials by pipeline. The Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 as amended (NGPSA) authorizes the Department to regulate pipeline transportation of natural (flammable, toxic, or corrosive) gas and other gases as well as the transportation and storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG). This Act has been recodified as 49 U.S.C. Chapter 601. PHMSA is authorized to reimburse a state agency up to 80 percent of the actual costs for carrying out its pipeline safety program, including the cost of personnel and equipment. The actual amount of Federal reimbursement depends upon the availability of appropriated funds and state program performance. The total program funding for the State Program Gas and Hazardous Liquid Base Grants is subject to availability of funds and the enactment of an appropriations bill, and will be distributed according to individual state applications.</Description>

        <Description>The DMDRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award (IIRA) supports translational research that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in DMD into clinical applications. Translational research may be defined as an integration of basic science and clinical observations with the specific goal of developing new therapies. While the ultimate goal of translational research is to move an observation forward into clinical application, translational research is most effective as a two-way continuum between the bench and the bedside. Within this continuum, the IIRA supports mid-stage or later translational research projects, including early-phase, proof-of-principle clinical trials and correlative studies to better inform the development of drugs, devices, and other interventions. Research projects may also include preclinical studies utilizing animal models, human subjects, or human anatomical substances. Studies proposed under this award should not include: &amp;#8226; Target discovery &amp;#8226; Drug screening &amp;#8226; Mechanism of action studies &amp;#8226; Hypothesis-driven pathophysiology studies Biomarker Studies For projects addressing the FY15 DMDRP Focus Area of &amp;#8220;discovery and qualification of pharmacodynamic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers,&amp;#8221; a biological marker, or biomarker, is defined as a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biologic processes, pathogenic processes, or biological responses to a therapeutic intervention.1 For the purpose of this award, biomarker qualification is defined as the evidentiary fit-for-purpose process of correlating a biomarker with the effects of an agent on biological processes and clinical endpoints.2 Alternatively, biomarker validation refers to the process of ensuring that a biomarker or technology (e.g., imaging) will be accurately and reliably measured through the performance characteristics of a biomarker assay.3 The DMDRP encourages the study of biomarkers that can be detected through minimally invasive procedures (e.g., blood, urine, tissue, imaging, etc.). Examples of biomarkers may include signatures of genetic or epigenetic changes,specifically expressed genes, proteins, or metabolites, and molecular, physiological, and/or imaging entities, among others.</Description>

        <Description>This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Research Announcement (NRA) solicits ground-based research proposals using an open science approach to generate new scientific insights by utilizing experimental data residing in NASA&amp;#8217;s Physical Sciences Informatics (PSI) system (http://psi.nasa.gov ), an online database of past and current physical science International Space Station (ISS) flight experiments and related ground-based studies. The solicitation (NNH15ZTT001N&amp;#8211;15PSI_A), entitled &amp;quot;Use of the NASA Physical Sciences Informatics System &amp;#8211; Appendix A,&amp;quot; will be available on or about June 10, 2015. The solicitation will be found via the following steps: 1. Open the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ 2. Select &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; 3. Select &amp;quot;Open Solicitations&amp;#8221; 4. Select &amp;quot;Use of the NASA Physical Sciences Informatics System NNH15ZTT001N&amp;#8221; 5. Select List of Open Program Elements 6. Select &amp;#8220;Use of the NASA Physical Sciences Informatics System &amp;#8211; Appendix A&amp;quot; 7. Select &amp;#8220;Appendix A NNH15ZTT001N&amp;#8211;15PSI_A&amp;quot; under Announcement Documents. NASA&amp;apos;s Physical Sciences Research Program conducts fundamental and applied physical sciences research, with the objective of enabling improved space systems and technological advances that support new products and other benefits on Earth. NASA&amp;apos;s experiments in the various disciplines of physical science reveal how physical systems respond to the near absence of gravity. They also reveal how other forces that on Earth are small, as compared to gravity, can dominate system behavior in space. The PSI system (http://psi.nasa.gov ) is an online database of science data from past and current physical science ISS flight experiments, as well as from related ground-based studies. It is designed as a tool for investigators to expand upon the valuable research performed on the ISS using it to further science in accordance with the open science approach, while also meeting the requirements of the President&amp;#8217;s Open Data Policy. This NRA solicits ground-based research proposals that present a compelling case on how the experimental data from the PSI system will be used to promote the advancement of further research. Proposers must show a clear path from the scientific data obtained from the PSI system to the proposed investigation. In addition, the project must address an important problem in the proposed area of research and advance scientific knowledge or technology. The main NRA will remain open for two years, with multiple opportunities to propose planned to be provided through a series of appendices. Therefore, investigators will have multiple opportunities to propose their research because NASA plans to release an appendix on a periodic basis (approximately every six months), depending on available funding and other programmatic constraints. This announcement is for the release of the first of the appendices, Appendix A, which solicits proposals in the five research areas for which experimental data will available in the PSI by the Appendix A proposal due date: Combustion Science, Complex Fluids, Fluid Physics, Fundamental Physics and Materials Science. The Appendix specifically solicits proposals that utilize data from investigations for which complete data is available in the PSI at the time of the proposal due date. Proposals for Appendix A will be due on or around September 30, 2015. This solicitation is applicable to researchers in all categories of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including educational institutions, industry, nonprofit organizations, NASA Centers and other U.S. Government agencies. This NRA is soliciting proposals from two types of investigators: 1) established researchers from all categories of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including educational institutions, industry, nonprofit organizations, NASA Centers and other Government agencies; 2) graduate students (with advisors) from accredited U.S. postsecondary institutions and programs. The proposals from graduate students must be submitted by their advisor. Principal Investigators (PIs) may collaborate with investigators from universities, Federal Government laboratories, the private sector, state and local government laboratories, and other countries. Proposal including international participation are eligible, provided NASA policies regarding the conduct of research with non-U.S. organizations are met. Proposals must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Proposals must be submitted electronically. Proposers may use either NSPIRES (http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ ) or Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov ) for proposal submission. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organization representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. Instructions on how to register in NSPIRES are provided in the NRA. Each electronic proposal system places requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Questions with regard to responding to this NRA may be addressed to the contacts referenced in the full solicitation document. This is a broad agency announcement as specified in FAR 6.102 (d)(2). Notwithstanding the posting of this opportunity at FedBizOpps.gov, nspires.nasaprs.com, or Grants.gov, NASA reserves the right to determine the appropriate award instrument for each proposal selected pursuant to this announcement.</Description>

        <Description>The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The Second Chance Act will help ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reported that in 2004, 53 percent of state inmates were abusing or dependent on drugs in the year before their admission to prison, and 32 percent of state inmates said they had committed their current offense while under the influence of drugs. In 2007, parents held in the state prisons&amp;#151;52 percent of state inmates&amp;#151;reported having an estimated 1.7 million children under the age of 18, an increase of 80 percent from 2001. Since 1991, the number of children with a mother in prison has more than doubled, up 131 percent, and the number of children with a father in prison has grown by 77 percent. Among state prisoners, 59 percent of males and 63 percent of females being held for drug-related offenses were parents. The Second Chance Act Programs are designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by offender reentry and recidivism reduction. &amp;#147;Reentry&amp;#148; is not a specific program, but rather an evidence-based process that starts when an offender is initially incarcerated and ends when the offender has been successfully reintegrated in his or her community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes the delivery of a variety of evidence-based program services for every program participant in both a pre- and post-release setting designed to ensure that the transition from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful.</Description>

        <Description>USAID seeks to improve the resilience of the health sector in Gaza by increasing access to and the quality of emergency and essential health services provided by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), and private providers in Gaza consistent with the goals and objectives of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and USAID. Gaza 2020: Health Matters is intended to improve emergency preparedness in the health sector and enhance the capacity for a rapid response in the event of a crisis. This program will seek to strengthen health networks, with a particular focus on improving psychosocial support, nutritional status of women and children and triage for key hospital services in a post-war setting. Health Matters specific goals include both emergency and essential health needs as follows: &amp;#9679; To increase access to and availability of health-related humanitarian goods and services during emergency situations; and &amp;#9679; To expand access to essential primary and secondary health services to improve the resilience of the non-governmental health sector. This is a five year activity, with a total estimated cost of $50 million, subject to the availability of funds. Health Matters contributes to the Mission&amp;#8217;s Gaza 2020 project goal to increase the resilience of communities in Gaza. The Gaza 2020 Mission Strategy has three intermediate results (IRs) and the Program described here contributes to two of those IRs: IR 1:1 increased access to humanitarian goods and services, and IR2 improved access and utilization of quality social services. </Description>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. Purpose of Program: The Investing in Innovation Fund (i3), established under section 14007 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), provides funding to support (1) local educational agencies (LEAs), and (2) nonprofit organizations in partnership with (a) one or more LEAs or (b) a consortium of schools. The i3 program is designed to generate and validate solutions to persistent educational challenges and to support the expansion of effective solutions to serve substantially larger numbers of students. The central design element of the i3 program is its multi-tier structure that links the amount of funding that an applicant may receive to the quality of the evidence supporting the efficacy of the proposed project. Applicants proposing practices supported by limited evidence can receive relatively small grants that support the development and initial evaluation of promising practices and help to identify new solutions to pressing challenges; applicants proposing practices supported by evidence from rigorous evaluations, such as large randomized controlled trials, can receive sizable grants to support expansion across the country. This structure provides incentives for applicants to build evidence of effectiveness of their proposed projects and to address the barriers to serving more students across schools, districts, and States. As importantly, all i3 projects are required to generate additional evidence of effectiveness. All i3 grantees must use part of their budgets to conduct independent evaluations (as defined in this notice) of their projects. This ensures that projects funded under the i3 program contribute significantly to improving the information available to practitioners and policymakers about which practices work, for which types of students, and in what contexts. The Department awards three types of grants under this program: ``Development&amp;apos;&amp;apos; grants, ``Validation&amp;apos;&amp;apos; grants, and ``Scale-up&amp;apos;&amp;apos; grants. These grants differ in terms of the level of prior evidence of effectiveness required for consideration of funding, the level of scale the funded project should reach, and, consequently, the amount of funding available to support the project. This notice invites applications for Scale-up grants only. The notice inviting applications for Validation grants is published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. The notice inviting applications for Development grants was published in the Federal Register on March 30, 2015 (80 FR 16648) and is available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2015-03-30/pdf/2015-07213.pdf. Scale-up grants provide funding to support expansion of projects supported by strong evidence of effectiveness (as defined in this notice) to the national level (as defined in this notice). In addition to improving outcomes for an increasing number of high-need students, Scale-up grants will generate information about the students and contexts for which a practice is most effective. We expect that Scale-up grants will increase practitioners&amp;apos; and policymakers&amp;apos; understanding of strategies that allow organizations or practices to expand quickly and efficiently while maintaining their effectiveness. All Scale-up grantees must evaluate the effectiveness of the i3-supported practice that the project implements and expands. This is particularly important in instances in which the proposed project includes changing the i3-supported practice in order to more efficiently reach the proposed level of scale (for example, by developing technology-enabled training tools). The evaluation of a Scale-up grant must identify the core elements of, and codify, the i3-supported practice that the project implements in order to support adoption or replication by other entities. We also expect that evaluations of Scale-up grants will be conducted in a variety of contexts and for a variety of students in order to determine the context(s) and population(s) for which the i3-supported practice is most effective. We remind LEAs of the continuing applicability of the provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for students who may be served under i3 grants. Any grants in which LEAs participate must be consistent with the rights, protections, and processes established under IDEA for students who are receiving special education and related services or are in the process of being evaluated to determine their eligibility for such services. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.411A (Scale-up grants).

        <Description>The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The Second Chance Act helps to ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. The Second Chance Act Programs are designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by offender reentry and recidivism reduction. &amp;#147;Reentry&amp;#148; is not a specific program, but rather an evidence-based process that starts when an offender is initially incarcerated and ends when the offender has been successfully reintegrated in his or her community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes the delivery of a variety of evidence-based program services for every program participant in both a pre- and post-release setting designed to ensure that the transition from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this agreement is to create an Urban Archeology Corps work experience program through partnership between Santa Monica Mountains NRA and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority. The Urban Archeology Corps provides youth with an immersive experience in archeology and cultural resource stewardship. The Urban Archeology Corps enables parks to conduct small archeological projects and complete additional projects in divisions throughout parks. The program depends upon partnerships with local organizations and the NPS to ensure that local youth are recruited from urban areas surrounding parks. The UAC engages partners and communities in the shared environmental stewardship of archeological resources. It promotes greater public and private participation in archeology while building resource stewardship ethics in youth.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks research grant applications designed to develop innovative ways of understanding mental disorders in clinical studies on the basis of experimental research criteria rather than traditional diagnostic categories. This FOA stems from the NIMH Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project that is intended to further a long-range goal of contributing to diagnostic systems as informed by research on genetics, neuroscience, and behavior.The purpose of this FOA is to encourage applications to study mechanisms that may cut across multiple traditional diagnostic categories. Applications submitted in response to this FOA should be based upon RDoC criteria (see http://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-funding/rdoc.shtml).Five organizing domains have been identified.These are Negative Valence Systems (i.e., aversive motivational dimensions), Positive Valence Systems, Cognitive Systems, Social Process Systems, and Arousal/Regulatory Systems. Consensus workshops and guidance documents on these five domains have been completed and applications must focus on at least one of the constructs that have been defined in these RDoC workshops.For additional information, as indicated in Section I, see the workshop proceedings posted at http://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-priorities/rdoc/detailed-description-of-the-rdoc-project.shtml</Description>

        <Description>The DMDRP Therapeutic Idea Award mechanism was offered in FY12 and FY14, and is being offered again in FY15. It is designed to promote new ideas that are still in the early stages of development with the potential to yield high-impact data and new avenues of investigation for novel therapeutics for DMD treatment. This award mechanism supports conceptually innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancement in DMD therapeutics. Research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Presentation of preliminary data is not consistent with the intent of the Therapeutic Idea Award mechanism. While the inclusion of preliminary data is not prohibited, the strength of the application should not rely on preliminary data. Innovation and Impact are the most important aspects of the Therapeutic Idea Award. Innovation: Research deemed innovative may introduce a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, introduce novel concepts or agents, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities that may lead to potential therapies for DMD (e.g., drug repurposing studies). Innovative research may include high-risk approaches to DMD research. Research that is investigating the next logical step or is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative. Impact: Research that has high potential to significantly impact development of therapeutics for DMD. Biomarker Studies For projects addressing the FY15 DMDRP Focus Area of &amp;#8220;discovery and qualification of pharmacodynamic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers,&amp;#8221; a biological marker, or biomarker, is defined as a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biologic processes, pathogenic processes, or biological responses to a therapeutic intervention.1 For the purpose of this award, biomarker qualification is defined as the evidentiary fit-for-purpose process of correlating a biomarker with the effects of an agent on biological processes and clinical endpoints.2 The DMDRP encourages the discovery and study of biomarkers that can be detected through minimally invasive procedures (e.g., blood, urine, tissue, imaging, etc.). Examples of biomarkers may include signatures of genetic or epigenetic changes, specifically expressed genes, proteins, or metabolites, and molecular, physiological, and/or imaging entities, among others.</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Land Management has worked cooperatively with State Agencies and political subdivisions thereof, to manage invasive plants on Federal and adjacent public and private lands. Federal lands are widely scattered and are often difficult to access. Counties, cities, towns, villages, and special districts have often developed positive relationships with adjacent landowners and have a successful history of cooperatively managing weeds on a landscape scale across multiple jurisdictions. The objectives of this partnership are to treat and monitor weeds cooperatively across multiple jurisdictions within Umatilla County. This cooperative agreement shall prioritize and target undesirable plant species or group of species to be controlled or contained within a specific geographic area; establish a timeframe for the initiation and completion of the tasks specified in an integrated management system; describe the integrated management system to be used to control or contain the targeted undesirable plant species or group of species. An integrated management system means a system for the planning and implementation of a program, using an interdisciplinary approach, to select a method for containing or controlling an undesirable plant species or group of species using all available methods, including&amp;#65533; education; preventive measures; physical or mechanical methods; biological agents; herbicide methods; cultural methods; including targeted grazing; and replanting as necessary. </Description>

        <Description>Adherence to a prescribed treatment regimen, including medications, devices and behavioral recommendations, can significantly impact morbidity and mortality for patients with chronic diseases, including chronic kidney or urologic disease. When adherence to complex and seemingly rigid treatment regimens is poor, the results can be tragic. Adolescence is a particularly challenging time for adherence given the competing demands in an adolescents life, the unique developmental changes, and rapidly changing set of responsibilities as they transition to adulthood. There are few studies in pediatrics beyond the HIV literature that address non-adherence. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support research to improve adherence in adolescents with chronic kidney or urologic diseases. Therefore, this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from new or established investigators to pursue research to better understand factors that influence adherence, develop appropriate measures of adherence, and test innovative strategies to enhance adherence in this vulnerable population. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AC00448 Project Title Extending Alaska Region National Hydrography Dataset Editing Protocols and Data Production to Accommodate Wetlands and other Value Added Attributes Recipient Saint Mary&amp;#8217;s University of Minnesota Total Anticipated Award Amount $250,000 Cost Share None Anticipated Length of Agreement 2 years Anticipated Period of Performance 6/15/2015&amp;#8211; 6/30/2017 Award Instrument CESU Task Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC &amp;#167;101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#8211; Resources of the National Park System (CESU) Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation and (4) Unique Qualifications NPS Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW This project is a collaborative effort between the Alaska Region of the National Park Service (NPS) and Saint Mary&amp;#8217;s University of Minnesota (SMUMN) to extend previously developed National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) editing protocols to accommodate wetlands and other value added attributes (e.g, fish spawning locations) in the data development process. This project will provide a set of data development protocols that are compliant with both US Geological Survey (USGS) NHD and AKHydro spatial data formats and extend the ability to capture additional hydrographic features and characteristics associated with traditional NHD data elements (i.e. streams, rivers and lakes). The capture of these additional features will provide a more comprehensive hydrographic database for ongoing mapping efforts (e.g., updating USGS US Topo map production) and will promote enhanced modeling and analysis capabilities including migration to the USGS NHDPlus data model. The project will be conducted in two phases. The first phase will focus on the incorporation of wetland features into the NHD data development process to provide a more complete representation of surface hydrography. Methods development will utilize both traditional image interpretation and automated classification techniques to delineate and classify wetland features. Implementation of these techniques will be tested in a data production setting by conducting a large area NHD update exercise within Wrangell St. Elias National Park (WRST). Pending successful completion of phase one, the second phase of this project will test the implementation of these data development processes in additional ecological regions of state, particularly the Arctic Region in Noatak National Preserve. Expected products include new procedures for delineation and classification of wetlands using automated and manual techniques for the publicly available NHD, a webinar, and a final report. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN This project will be conducted in two phases. This Task Agreement funds Phase 1, but may be modified to add future phases, subject to the availability of funding and satisfactory progress of project work. Investigators from SMUMN and NPS staff will collaborate to accomplish the following specific objectives. The objectives of Phase 1 are to develop extended NHD data collection protocols to include: &amp;#8226; Identifying suitable test areas within the Boreal (WRST) and Polar (NOAT) ecoregions of Alaska for applying NHD data collection protocols and testing update methods. At a minimum, these test locations must have complete coverage of Statewide Digital Mapping Initiative (SDMI) processed SPOT5 satellite imagery and SDMI IfSAR derived elevation data. &amp;#8226; Developing a hybrid mapping process for delineation and classification of wetlands using a combination of software based tools for feature recognition and automated classification supported by traditional manual interpretation techniques. &amp;#8226; Conducting a large area test of hydrography updates using extended feature mapping protocols within WRST. &amp;#8226; Incorporation of resulting wetland features into both the AKHydro (i.e., the Alaska model for stewardship of hydrography data that complements NHD) and NHD data models as 2D area features. &amp;#8226; Describing the US Geological Survey (USGS) NHD compliant development or edit workflow, starting with project identification, data checkout, data editing, conflation, NPS and USGS quality control (QC) processes, and final data check in to the USGS master database. &amp;#8226; A description of the minimum data requirements to support NHD data development incorporating wetlands and other related hydrographic features. &amp;#8226; A description of the project management process to data development, coordination, and product delivery. The process will describe milestones, responsibilities, resource requirements, and product or output expectations. Phase 2, subject to the successful completion of Phase 1, includes expanding application of this extended NHD data collection protocol to additional ecoregions within Alaska where hydrologic conditions vary and additional classification parameters must be assessed. Work in this phase will focus on updating wetlands and other surface hydrology features with the Polar ecoregion of Alaska, particularly NOAT. Work will also include the compilation of a list of additional value added attributes that are important for description, modeling, and analysis of surface hydrology in Alaska. This list will be developed through coordinated discussions with NPS staff and other federal agencies in Alaska, such as the US Forest Service, who are conducting similar NHD updates. Given that both Phase 1 and 2 will involve some level of NHD data production and submission, the project also has the following general objectives: &amp;#8226; Extracting existing NHD data from USGS and evaluating completeness, accuracy, and areas of improvement. &amp;#8226; Compiling base datasets (aerial photography, elevation data, and edited hydrography) for use in updating NHD. &amp;#8226; Correcting of stream locations, flow paths, and connectivity. &amp;#8226; Establishment of a flow network that meets USGS NHD standards. &amp;#8226; Correction of coastline features using best available data. &amp;#8226; Correcting and populating feature attributes such as stream name, stream order and reach code. &amp;#8226; Using NHD conflation tools, integrating modified data into existing data and reconciling inconsistencies. &amp;#8226; Submitting new data back to NHD for upload into the national dataset. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT SMUMN, in collaboration with NPS, will develop extended NHD data editing protocols that include: procedures for the incorporation of additional surface hydrology features within the AKHydro and NHD data models; a hybrid mapping process for delineation and classification of wetlands based on automated and traditional methodologies; applying developed methodologies in a large area test of NHD updates for WRST; incorporating resulting NHD data edits in both the AKHydro geodatabase and the USGS National Map using established validation and conflation tools to ensure data integrity; description of the minimum data requirements to support extended NHD data development; and description of the SMUMN data development process. SMUMN will provide all supporting data (GIS-related geodatabases, metadata, and documentation) from the project, including a brief final technical report detailing processing methodology and accuracy assessment. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the NPS will be responsible for the following: NPS will collaborate with SMUMN to determine the most appropriate areas to use for testing the new protocols and the appropriate level of attribution of the new wetlands classification. NPS will participate in feature mapping as well as coordination of quality assurance by park staff with local (park specific) hydrological knowledge. NPS will coordinate input from fisheries biologists and aquatic ecologists in the description of the minimum data requirements for wetlands and other related hydrographic features to support NHD data development. NPS will collaborate with SMUMN to establish wetland feature collection and criteria for data validation. NPS will also review and comment on data, draft reports, and all publishable material submitted from this project. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) Continuation &amp;#8211;The project is a continuation of a previous project (Task Agreement P10AC00466) between SMUMN and NPS to develop a stewardship strategy and associated data editing protocols for the compilation of National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) data within Alaska national parks. Through this work, SMUMN has knowledge of and experience working within the Enterprise ArcSDE GIS environment, where the NHD and AKHydro reside. SMUMN has established contacts and relationships with the AKHydro data stewards, the NHD data stewards, members of the Alaska Hydrography Technical Working Group (AHTWG), and Alaska NPS GIS and park science staff. SMUMN is thus well-informed in the processes and contacts needed to conduct the project. Competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity and completion of the current project as a new cooperator would need significant startup time and resources to develop this knowledge. (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The PI and his research team have five years of work experience with numerous federal agencies and NGOs in Alaska in developing and promoting a successful NHD stewardship model for the state. Through previous projects with US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative, The Nature Conservancy, US Forest Service and the University of Alaska Southeast, SMUMN has completed initial NHD updates correcting spatial feature geometries and providing the addition of new features at a larger scale for thousands of square miles of Alaska. The PI has technical expertise in the following: the NHD and AKHydro data models; the development and application of hydrography data collection and mapping protocols; and specific requirements from the AHTWG to make value added attributes to the NHD. The PI and the SMUMN research team has extensive experience working with the USFWS National Wetland Inventory program in Alaska. Through a series of funded projects over the past decade, SMUMN has developed unique techniques for wetland mapping and classification across Alaska using traditional image interpretation techniques and a variety of new imagery. The PI has co-authored publications and presentations (listed below) regarding applications of these techniques. Knopf, J.C and Robertson, A.G., 2007.

        <Description>The DMDRP Translational Leverage Award (TLA) mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. The TLA supports leveraging existing human-based resources in translational research to address high-impact research ideas or unmet needs in at least one FY15 DMDRP Focus Area. Often, resources are not leveraged for maximum use beyond the original source, and as a result, investigators expend time and money to duplicate those resources. This award supports translational research projects leveraging and/or querying existing repositories, registries, and/or clinical trials or clinical studies in order to conduct research in the FY15 DMDRP Focus Areas.Projects may include, but are not limited to, drug and/or device development, novel interventions, resource refinement, database mining, and correlative studies.Leveraging: For the FY15 DMDRP, leveraging involves addressing research questions using existing resources to amplify potential gains in knowledge in the field of DMD, and subsequently making the results or outcomes available for use by others. Outcomes from research funded by this award are expected to provide data and scientific rationale for future research that will impact DMD clinical care.&amp;#8226; Human-Based Resources: Examples of human-based resources include, but are not limited to, biorepositories of clinical specimens, imaging repositories, epidemiological datasets, clinical databases, and databases of clinical data and/or metadata.&amp;#8226; Biomarker Studies: For projects addressing the FY15 DMDRP Focus Area of &amp;#8220;discovery and qualification of pharmacodynamic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers,&amp;#8221; a biological marker, or biomarker, is defined as a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biologic processes, pathogenic processes, or biological responses to a therapeutic intervention.1 For the purpose of this award, biomarker qualification is defined as the evidentiary fit-for-purpose process of correlating a biomarker with the effects of an agent on biological processes and clinical endpoints.2 Alternatively, biomarker validation refers to the process of ensuring that a biomarker or technology (e.g., imaging) will be accurately and reliably measured through the performance characteristics of a biomarker assay.3 The DMDRP encourages the study of biomarkers that can be detected through minimally invasive procedures (e.g., blood, urine, tissue, imaging, etc.). Examples of biomarkers may include signatures of genetic or epigenetic changes, specifically expressed genes, proteins, or metabolites, and molecular, physiological, and/or imaging entities, among others.Clinical trials are not supported by this award mechanism.</Description>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. Purpose of Program: The Investing in Innovation Fund (i3), established under section 14007 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), provides funding to support (1) local educational agencies (LEAs), and (2) nonprofit organizations in partnership with (a) one or more LEAs or (b) a consortium of schools. The i3 program is designed to generate and validate solutions to persistent educational challenges and to support the expansion of effective solutions to serve substantially larger numbers of students. The central design element of the i3 program is its multi-tier structure that links the amount of funding that an applicant may receive to the quality of the evidence supporting the efficacy of the proposed project. Applicants proposing practices supported by limited evidence can receive relatively small grants that support the development and initial evaluation of promising practices and help to identify new solutions to pressing challenges; applicants proposing practices supported by evidence from rigorous evaluations, such as large randomized controlled trials, can receive sizable grants to support expansion across the country. This structure provides incentives for applicants to build evidence of effectiveness of their proposed projects and to address the barriers to serving more students across schools, districts, and States. As importantly, all i3 projects are required to generate additional evidence of effectiveness. All i3 grantees must use part of their budgets to conduct independent evaluations (as defined in this notice) of their projects. This ensures that projects funded under the i3 program contribute significantly to improving the information available to practitioners and policymakers about which practices work, for which types of students, and in what contexts. The Department awards three types of grants under this program: ``Development&amp;apos;&amp;apos; grants, ``Validation&amp;apos;&amp;apos; grants, and ``Scale-up&amp;apos;&amp;apos; grants. These grants differ in terms of the level of prior evidence of effectiveness required for consideration of funding, the level of scale the funded project should reach, and, consequently, the amount of funding available to support the project. This notice invites applications for Validation grants only. The notice inviting applications for Scale-up grants is published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. The notice inviting applications for Development grants was published in the Federal Register on March 30, 2015 (80 FR 16648) and is available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2015-03-30/pdf/2015-07213.pdf. Validation grants provide funding to support expansion of projects supported by moderate evidence of effectiveness (as defined in this notice) to the national level (as defined in this notice) or regional level (as defined in this notice). Validation grants must further assess the effectiveness of the i3-supported practice through a rigorous evaluation, with particular focus on the populations for, and the contexts in, which the practice is most effective. We expect and consider it appropriate that each applicant propose to use the Validation funding to build its capacity to deliver the i3-supported practice, particularly early in the funding period, to successfully reach the level of scale proposed in its application. Additionally, we expect each applicant to address any specific barriers to the growth or scaling of the organization or practice (including barriers related to cost-effectiveness) in order to deliver the i3-supported practice at the proposed level of scale and provide strategies to address these barriers as part of its proposed scaling plan. All Validation grantees must evaluate the effectiveness of the practice that the supported project implements and expands. We expect that these evaluations will be conducted in a variety of contexts and for a variety of students, will identify the core elements of the practice, and will codify the practices to support adoption or replication by the applicant and other entities. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.411B (Validation grants). Applications for grants under the i3 program, CFDA number 84.411B (Validation grants), must be submitted electronically using the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site at www.Grants.gov. Through this site, you will be able to download a copy of the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit your application. You may not email an electronic copy of a grant application to us. You may access the electronic grant application for the i3 program at www.Grants.gov. You must search for the downloadable application package for this competition by the CFDA number. Do not include the CFDA number&amp;apos;s alpha suffix in your search (e.g., search for 84.411, not 84.411B).</Description>

        <Description>The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is committed to supporting research that will increase scientific understanding of the health status of various population groups and improve the effectiveness of health interventions and services for individuals within those groups. High priority is placed on research on populations that appear to have distinctive health risk profiles but have received insufficient attention from investigators. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) highlights a particular community: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and related populations (designated here as LGBTI populations). Basic, social, behavioral, clinical, and services research relevant to the missions of the sponsoring Institutes and Centers may be proposed. </Description>

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number P15AC00686 Project Title Marine Debris Education, Outreach and Cleanup in Kotzebue Sound Communities Recipient Principle Investigator / Program Manager Beth Trowbridge &amp;#8211; Center for AK Coastal Studies Peter Neitlich &amp;#8211; National Park Service Total Anticipated Award Amount $16,000 Cost Share $4,000 New Award or Continuation? New Award Anticipated Period of Performance July 1, 2015-September 30, 2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.931 Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact Peter Neitlich Acting Chief of Natural Resources/Ecologist National Park Service 41A Wandling Road Winthrop, WA 98862 (509) 996-3917 Peter_Neitlich@nps.gov OVERVIEW NPS has recently initiated a project to remove marine debris from Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and Cape Krusenstern National Monument. Because marine debris is highly mobile, a successful cleanup needs to take a regional approach and to focus additional attention on coastal communities in the region (which generate a large volume of debris), education on marine debris and its effects, outreach, and community cleanups. This agreement is designed as a cooperative partnership between NPS-WEAR and the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies (CACS), which has extensive experience in conducting educational programs for students and communities throughout Alaska. NPS has a strong interest in supporting the mission of CACS as their goal is to reduce the amount of marine debris in Alaskan seas through education, outreach and community cleanup. Since NPS and CACS share common goals, this funding is designed to address the broader issue of supporting these goals and stimulating greater action and awareness of this issue. The education component of WEAR&amp;#8217;s project will work with youth to raise awareness of marine debris issues for students and local schools throughout the Kotzebue Sound region. The project will also directly work with community groups to develop strategies to reduce marine debris inputs. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN NPS and CACS will partner in marine debris cleanup and education efforts by: 1. Cleaning up approximately 250 miles of coastline in Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and Cape Krusenstern National Monument. 2. Coordinating local cleanups in Shishmaref, Wales, Deering, Kotzebue, Kivalina, Kiana and Ambler. These are communities adjacent to the Western Arctic National Parklands and primary stakeholders in the management of NPS lands which are heavily used for subsistence. As debris is highly mobile, community cleanups benefit all stakeholders in the region (i.e., village, tribes, Native Corporations, NPS, other federal and state agencies). 3. Presenting concurrent school programs and outreach campaigns focusing on food safety and wildlife health. 4. Facilitating youth development of videos on marine debris and to mentor youth on videography allowing for the posting of videos on social media and presentations at the Alaska Forum on the Environment and/or other conferences. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT CACS will: 1. Develop a customized version of their statewide curriculum that will be used in northwest Alaskan schools and communities. The new version will include fauna examples from Kotzebue Sound and will tie marine debris directly to important community issues such as subsistence hunting and food safety. 2. Present school programs and conduct community cleanups in August and September 2015 in Shishmaref, Wales, Deering, Kotzebue, and Kivalina. If cost savings can be found or additional funding appears, programs will be presented in Ambler, Kiana and other nearby villages. 3. Work with Kotzebue Sound schools to facilitate development of 2-4 youth videos on marine debris and marine health. 4. Participate in NPS-sponsored cleanups on NPS lands to the extent practical. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS will: 1. Coordinate large-scale marine debris cleanup effort on NPS lands. 2. Work jointly with CACS to develop and execute a plan for removal of the debris gathered in the school and community cleanups. The cleanups of local communities will enhance NPS&amp;#8217;s efforts to clean up NPS lands, thereby facilitating a broader regional approach to the cleanups. 3. Work with community leaders, local Native Councils and schools to facilitate joint NPS-CACS programs and to make appropriate local introductions. 4. Make joint NPS-CACS presentations at community and Native Association meetings to update communities on marine debris removal efforts and on broader efforts statewide. 5. Make joint NPS-CACS presentations of youth videos and youth programs at the Alaska Forum on the Environment. 6. Provide CACS staff with logistical support such as housing, vehicle use, airport shuttles. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications Single Source Justification Description: At present, the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies is the only organization in Alaska that has a focused program on youth and community education and cleanups on marine debris throughout the state. While there are many citizens groups and other organizations working on marine debris, CACS has a unique focus on creating and delivering school programs on marine debris statewide. They also have a tremendous track record of coupling these programs with effective community cleanups that help to remove the debris from entire regions (including communities, conservation units, private lands). We have discussed this issue with the NOAA marine debris program, the Alaska Sea Life Center, and the Gulf of Alaska Keepers. None of these organizations had the interest or current ability to conduct these programs during the current fiscal year. Certainly these capacities could be developed by other organizations, but as of yet, they have not been. </Description>

        <Description>Prescribed burns are an integral part of the habitat maintenance at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. In addition to fostering favorable tree species succession, burning can increase soil carbon through charcoal production. However, burning also produces gas and particle phase atmospheric emissions coming from the refuge which may come under future scrutiny by local, state, and Federal air quality regulatory agencies. During the consumption of fuels, partitioning of material into onsite carbon and dispersed emissions may be influenced by types of biomass consumed, fuel condition, and fire meteorology season. Therefore it is important to assess this balance of burned material to help foster future continued use of prescribed burning as a management tool, understand soil ecosystem benefits, and preempt future air quality management issues through critical data acquisition. This study is a two part approach in which both on and offsite transport of burn biomass are attempted to be accounted.</Description>

        <Description>Teaching the underserved children of San Diego County to respect their local natural resources is paramount for many reasons, but especially because San Diego County has a great diversity of habitats and yet also has more threatened and endangered species than any other county in the continental U.S. We propose to bring our 3-part program&amp;#65533;assembly, classroom program, and field trip&amp;#65533;to five schools in San Diego County. In addition, an online curriculum will be developed to supplement the program and posted to the Zoo&amp;#65533;s website, available to all teachers in downloadable .pdf format. The curriculum will enhance concepts learned, include additional resources for the classroom and will align with State Science Standards. We expect to motivate students to adopt a lifestyle which respects our natural resources and to make smart choices for our planet today and in the future.</Description>

        <Description>NNH12ZDA001N, entitled &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences - 2012 (ROSES-2012),&amp;quot; will be available on or about February 14, 2012, by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listing &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Open Solicitations.&amp;quot; This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals for supporting basic and applied research and technology across a broad range of Earth and space science program elements relevant to one or more of the following NASA Research Programs: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on May 4, 2012, and continue through March 22, 2013. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 16, 2012. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2013, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2012/ Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA, while questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: sara@nasa.gov; Telephone: 202-358-0879.</Description>

        <Description>Background and objectives: The principal purpose of this program is to support the design, funding, implementation, completion, monitoring, and maintenance of on-the-ground projects designed to enhance, rehabilitate, restore, and when appropriate mitigate fish and wildlife habitat on BLM-administered public lands. Benefits of the program include direct benefit to the public of improved fish and wildlife habitat on public lands for non-consumptive outdoor recreation and hunting purposes. Supported projects could include such things as support for the Wildfire and Invasive Species Initiative. This initiative would help wildlife agencies, such as the BLM, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS, and the Forest Service (USFS), 1) implement the recommendations in the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) Wildfire and Invasive Species Report, (2) integrate State and private interests, (3) develop and conduct a novel analysis that quantifies the direction and magnitude of lek count trends for the Greater Sage-grouse, (4) develop conservation projects, and (5) monitor external funding for these projects. Award of this agreement could also partially support a Coordinator position which would be involved with such projects as 1) conceptual design of the implementation of Sage-Grouse land use plans (LUPs), 2) developing a companion Resistance and Resilience Decision Support Tool for the portion of the Greater Sage-Grouse range east of the Rocky Mountains, 3) defining and developing of adaptive management and mitigation strategies as called for in the Sage-Grouse LUPs, and 4) update and expand Sage-Grouse science. Public Benefit: The proposed support of this program directly benefits the public through improved fish and wildlife habitat on public lands for non-consumptive outdoor recreation and hunting purposes, and by precluding or reducing the need for additional regulatory burden for Federally-listed species. Fish and wildlife-related recreation, including fishing, boating, hunting, and wildlife watching contribute billions of dollars annually to the nation&amp;apos;s economy.</Description>

        <Description>The Cedar Pass Developed Area (Cedar Pass) within Badlands National Park (BADL) is a historic designed landscape that contains the bulk of development in the park, including the visitor center, a campground, a lodge (restaurant), cabins, and numerous trails and roads. The cultural landscape includes early tourism development from the 1930s, New Deal era Resources, and was completed under the Mission 66 program of the National Park Service (NPS) in the 1960s. Cedar Pass was deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as a district in 2005. Currently, Cedar Pass does not meet visitor needs, sustainability, or accessibility requirements, thus a planning and management framework is needed to focus on new design alternatives to enhance visitor experience, minimize visitor impacts, and protect historic character and natural resources of and within the cultural landscape. To address these needs, this project proposes to use graduate students from the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture through a multi-disciplinary (historic preservation, landscape architecture, architecture, and planning) design studio. The studio will be led by Associate Professor Michael Holleran and Assistant Professor Benjamin Ibarra through the CSD, with assistance from staff of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center as a subcontract to the project and is planned for the fall semester of 2015 (with design support scheduled from summer 2015 and spring 2016). This plan will address deficiencies and impacts caused by visitor use, use levels, types of use, areas of impact, and timing while providing design alternatives as solutions. Physical and programmatic accessibility deficiencies within buildings and the surrounding landscape will be studied and tied to larger visitor use issues. The project will also incorporate the Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES) and LEED rating systems, as all proposed work will be planned responsibly. The project supports NPS Call to Action items 22 (Scaling Up), 23 (Go Green), and 25 (What&amp;#8217;s Old is New) by developing a product that will guide planning and future building practices in a historic district and promote a sustainable and accessible cultural landscape that supports positive visitor use and experience. The project will engage American&amp;#8217;s you through the use of student designers at the University- level. </Description>

        <Description>SUMMARY The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to develop and implement the 2015-2016 English for Mission Contacts Program, hereafter known as the EFMC program. The EFMC program supports U.S. Mission and Strategic Framework Agreement goals by enhancing cooperation with Iraqi contacts and improving their capacity to communicate in English. Students in the EFMC program are important Iraqi interlocutors (not Embassy employees) with whom the nominating office has regular contact and who desire to improve their English language skills. Subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy expects to award one cooperative agreement for up to $ 300,000.00 to the selected program implementer to carry out the EFMC program. GOALS Through this English Language program, the U.S. Mission in Iraq seeks to provide Iraqi interlocutors and contacts with high quality English language courses, enabling them to improve their English skills and develop professionally. The program seeks to be as responsive as possible to the differing skill levels and professional needs of contacts who request to be nominated to participate. This program will enhance U.S. Mission cooperation with Iraqi interlocutors and our communication with them, now and in the future. </Description>

        <Description>CONSERVATION INNOVATION GRANTS(CIG) FOR MASSACHUSETTS The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches into NRCS policy, technical manuals, guides, and references, or to the private sectors. CIG does not fund research projects. Projects intended to test hypotheses do not qualify for a CIG grant. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology. It is a vehicle to stimulate development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a high likelihood of success, and that are a candidate for eventual technology transfer or institutionalization. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among the communities, governments,and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. NRCS will acept applications for singel or multi-year projects, not to exceed 3 years, submitted to NRCS from eligible entities including federally recognized Indian tribes, State and local units of government, and non-governmental organizations and individuals. Applications are accepted from Massachusetts. Applications will be screended fro completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice. Incomplete applications will be eliminated from competition, and notification of elimination will be mailed to the applicant. Complete applications received by applicable deadlines will be evaluated by a technical peer review panel based on the Criteria for Application Evaluation identified in the application instructions in section V.B. Estimated 2-3 awards.

        <Description>Grants for Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions (FPIRI) support fellowships at institutions devoted to advanced study and research in the humanities. Recognizing that at times scholars need to work away from their homes and institutions, the FPIRI program sponsors fellowships that provide scholars with research time, a stimulating intellectual environment, and access to resources that might otherwise not be available to them. Fellowship programs may be administered by independent centers for advanced study, libraries, and museums in the United States; American overseas research centers; and American organizations that have expertise in promoting research in foreign countries. Individual scholars apply directly to the institutions for fellowships. In evaluating applications consideration is given to the library holdings, archives, special collections, and other resources&amp;#8212;either on site or nearby&amp;#8212;that institutions make available to fellows. FPIRI grants provide funding for humanities fellowships of four to twelve months. The fellowships are held at the U.S. grantee institutions or&amp;#8212;in the case of overseas research centers and organizations&amp;#8212;abroad. </Description>

        <Description>Media Projects grants support film, television, and radio projects for general audiences that encourage active engagement with humanities ideas in creative and appealing ways. All projects must be grounded in humanities scholarship in disciplines such as history, art history, film studies, literature, drama, religious studies, philosophy, or anthropology. Projects must also demonstrate an approach that is thoughtful, balanced, and analytical (rather than celebratory). The approach to the subject matter must go beyond the mere presentation of factual information to explore its larger significance and stimulate critical thinking. NEH is a national funding agency, so the projects we support must demonstrate the potential to attract a broad general audience. We welcome humanities projects tailored to particular groups, such as families, youth (including K-12 students), teachers, seniors, at-risk communities, and veterans, but they should also strive to cultivate a more inclusive audience. Film and television projects may be single programs or a series addressing significant figures, events, or ideas. Programs must be intended for national distribution, via traditional carriage or online distribution. The Division of Public Programs welcomes projects that range in length from short-form to broadcast-length video. Radio projects, including podcasts, may involve single programs, limited series, or segments within an ongoing program. They may also develop new humanities content to augment existing radio programming or add greater historical background or humanities analysis to the subjects of existing programs. They may be intended for regional or national distribution. NEH encourages projects that engage public audiences through multiple formats in the exploration of humanities ideas. Proposed projects might include complementary components to a film, television, or radio project. These components should deepen the audience&amp;#8217;s understanding of the subject in a supplementary manner: for example, book/film discussion programs, supplementary educational websites, or museum exhibitions. Development grants enable media producers to collaborate with scholars to develop humanities content and to prepare programs for production. Grants should result in a script or treatment and should also yield a detailed plan for outreach and public engagement. Production grants support the production and distribution of films, television programs, and radio programs that promise to engage a broad public audience. </Description>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. Purpose of Program: The Skills for Success Program supports Local Educational Agencies \1\ (LEAs) and their partners in implementing, evaluating, and refining tools and approaches for developing the non-cognitive skills of middle-grades students in order to increase student success. Grants provide funding for the implementation, evaluation, and refinement of existing tools and approaches (e.g., digital games, growth mindset classroom activities, experiential learning opportunities) that integrate the development of students&amp;apos; non- cognitive skills into classroom-level activities and existing strategies designed to improve schools. As grantees implement their projects, we expect them to collect, analyze, and use data to improve their tools and strategies throughout the project period. Ultimately, we expect grantees to identify and validate scalable tools and approaches that can be used by educators of high-need middle-grades students across the country. In addition, we expect that these grants will help build the capacity of LEAs and their partners to conduct research and apply that research to school- and district-level practices. This program also encourages sustainable partnerships that can continue the use of effective tools and approaches beyond the grant period. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Defined terms are noted throughout this document with initial capitals. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.215H.

        <Description>NNH12ZDA001N, entitled &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences - 2012 (ROSES-2012),&amp;quot; will be available on or about February 14, 2012, by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listing &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Open Solicitations.&amp;quot; This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals for supporting basic and applied research and technology across a broad range of Earth and space science program elements relevant to one or more of the following NASA Research Programs: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on May 4, 2012, and continue through March 22, 2013. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 16, 2012. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2013, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2012/ Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA, while questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: sara@nasa.gov; Telephone: 202-358-0879. </Description>

This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on May 4, 2012, and continue through March 22, 2013. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 16, 2012. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2013, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2012/ Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA, while questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: sara@nasa.gov; Telephone: 202-358-0879. </Description>

        <Description>Background: Bird population data and analysis is used to update the list of birds of conservation concern as required by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980, as amended. This list of birds of concern is used to identify bird species that, without further conservation actions, may become candidates for listing under the endangered species act. Grassland birds that winter in Mexico (and breed on BLM), are some of those species that are at risk because of the loss or risk to loss of habitat in wintering grounds. Objectives: Data collection and synthesis of bird population data is used to enhance wildlife conservation and land use planning efforts and regional assessment efforts by partners (State Agencies, other Federal agencies, and NGOs) and to enhance Land Use Plans and Healthy Lands Initiative products for public resource enjoyment and management. Full life cycle needs of grassland birds will be specifically addressed because of the BLM breeding ground use and the current high risks to the birds in wintering grounds. Public Benefit: The principal purpose of this proposed agreement supports or stimulates a public purpose through providing the most current state of knowledge on bird conservation and meeting the time-sensitive demands of the nation&amp;apos;s bird conservation interests which access the results of the database on a daily basis. Conservation of birds at risk helps decrease the cost to the public of listings under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and supports the public benefit of bird watching through maintaining an economically viable recreational activity.</Description>

        <CloseDateExplanation>Applications Available: June 9, 2015.      Note: On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was effective immediately. One   provision of WIOA transferred the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from the Department of Education to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the Department of Health   and Human Services. In addition, NIDRR&amp;apos;s name was changed to the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all NIDILRR priority notices will be published as ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR   awards. During this transition period, however, NIDILRR will continue to review grant applications using Department of Education tools.   NIDILRR will post previously-approved application kits to grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to the Department of Education&amp;apos;s G-5 system for peer review.  We are using Department of Education application kits and peer review systems during this transition year in order to provide for a smooth and orderly process for our applicants.      Date of Pre-Application Meeting: July 1, 2015. Date of Pre-Application Meeting: Interested parties are invited to participate in a pre-application meeting and to receive information and technical assistance through individual consultation with NIDILRR staff. The pre-application meeting will be held July 1, 2015.   Interested parties may participate in this meeting by conference call with NIDILRR staff from the Administration for Community Living between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., Washington, DC time. NIDILRR staff also will be available from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the same day, by telephone, to provide information and technical assistance   through individual consultation. For further information or to make arrangements to participate in the meeting via conference call or to arrange for an individual consultation, contact Carolyn Baron, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 550 12th Street SW., Room 5134, PCP, Washington, DC 20202; or by email to: Carolyn.Baron@ed.gov.

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will provide support to California State Univeristy, Chico Research Foundation to ensure continuing collection of important information about juvenile spring run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) on Butte Creek, California. This information is important to understanding the population status and trends. A recovery plan goal for spring run chinook salmon is to reintroduce Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon to the San Joaquin River (SJR) upstream of the mouth of the Merced River in the Central Valley of California. Critical reintroduction decisions will rely on population status and trends information. USFWS intends to award California State University, Chico Research Foundation a single source grant agreement based on its long history of particiapation on the project that goes back over nine (9) years to 2003 and its unique qualification through the technical expertise it has gained during the past decade. This grant will provide funding for a rotary screw trap study. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Health Workforce Research Center (HWRC) program. The HWRC program is designed to support rigorous, policy-oriented data collection, analysis and research projects that can enhance the government&amp;apos;s understanding of emerging issues and trends in the health care workforce. The goal of this funding opportunity is to establish an HWRC that will collect relevant data and information, conduct research, and disseminate findings and information topics related to the behavioral health care workforce in the U.S. The program will support health services research projects as defined by the collection, analysis, and reporting of data and excluding clinical/biomedical research and the expenditure of funds for delivery of services. Findings from research projects conducted by the HWRC established through this funding opportunity will ultimately help inform policy decisions regarding the behavioral health care workforce at the State and Federal levels. This funding opportunity solicits applications from eligible entities to conduct research projects on topics related to the behavioral health care workforce in the U.S., and when substantively appropriate, with an additional focus on the behavioral health care workforce in underserved areas and communities, diversity in the behavioral health care workforce, and team-based care in behavioral health. Applications submitted in response to this funding opportunity must detail the types of research projects the HWRC proposes to conduct in each of the following interrelated focus areas during the project period: &amp;#183; Focus Area #1: Behavioral Health care Workforce&amp;#8212;Minimum Data Set (MDS) Consistent data collection is needed for effective health workforce planning; however, the quality and extent of data available on the current behavioral health care workforce varies by State. The current variability in the quality and extent of data may be due to a number of factors including differences in how each State collects and reports workforce-related data. Governments at the State and Federal levels need standardized workforce data when gauging the current supply and characteristics of professionals and paraprofessionals who provide behavioral health-related services (i.e., substance abuse prevention, substance abuse treatment, and mental health) in their jurisdictions. The HWRC will conduct research to assess the need for and potential uses of a standardized MDS on the behavioral health workforce for governments at the State and Federal levels. The HWRC will work with stakeholders to identify the required content of the MDS, technical requirements needed for implementation, data sources that will populate the MDS, as well as identify any expected challenges associated with its implementation. The HWRC will also generate implementation options based on research findings, outlining both short-term (less than five years) and long-term (greater than five years) options for execution of an MDS. &amp;#183; Focus Area #2: Behavioral Health care Workforce&amp;#8212;Characteristics and Practice Settings While an MDS can provide basic information at a policy level, it is not designed to serve as the only data source for questions pertaining to the behavioral health care workforce. Additional data and information are needed to answer some of the more complex questions that arise regarding the behavioral health care workforce in the U.S. One such area with a paucity of information is around the characteristics and practice settings of professionals and paraprofessionals who provide behavioral-health care related services. Being able to know detailed information about the types of individuals who provide behavioral health care-related services and their practice settings is essential for assessing whether the correct health occupations are being trained with the most appropriate competencies. The HWRC will conduct research to better define the behavioral health care workforce (i.e. investigate and explain what types of professionals and paraprofessionals provide what type of services and for what purpose) and gather more in-depth information about the characteristics and practice settings of professionals and paraprofessionals who provide behavioral health care-related services in the U.S. &amp;#183; Focus Area #3: Behavioral Health care Workforce&amp;#8212;Scopes of Practice (SOP) What a health provider can and cannot do for a patient or consumer depends on the Scope of Practice (SOP) for that occupation in a specific State. While the numbers of Americans accessing health care--including behavioral health care services--are expected to increase in coming years, the number of health care providers is not expected to drastically increase. Many stakeholders are investigating and reconsidering the SOPs for health professions to meet this anticipated surge in demand. The HWRC will conduct research on current SOPs for occupations providing services in the areas of substance abuse prevention, substance abuse treatment, and mental health in each State. It will take into account a wide range of health professionals (e.g., medicine, nursing, behavioral health) as well as paraprofessionals (e.g., community health workers, prevention specialists) and document overlaps and gaps in SOPs by State.</Description>

        <Description>This grant program supports projects for general audiences that encourage active engagement with humanities ideas in creative and appealing ways. Many different formats are supported, including permanent and traveling exhibitions, book or film discussion programs, historic site or district interpretations, living history presentations, and other face-to-face programs in public venues. All projects must be grounded in humanities scholarship in disciplines such as history, art history, film studies, literature, religious studies, philosophy, or anthropology. Projects must also demonstrate an approach that is thoughtful, balanced, and analytical (rather than celebratory). The approach to the subject matter must go beyond the mere presentation of factual information to explore its larger significance and stimulate critical thinking. NEH is a national funding agency, so the projects we support must demonstrate the potential to attract a broad, general audience. We welcome humanities projects tailored to particular groups, such as families, youth (including K-12 students), teachers, seniors, at-risk communities, and veterans, but they should also strive to cultivate a more inclusive public audience. Museums, Libraries, and Cultural Organizations grants provide support for museums, libraries, historic places, and other organizations that produce public programs in the humanities. NEH encourages projects that explore humanities ideas through multiple formats. Proposed projects might include complementary components that deepen an audience&amp;#8217;s understanding of a subject: for example, a museum exhibition might be accompanied by a website, mobile app, or discussion programs. Planning grants are used to refine the content, format, and interpretive approach of a humanities project; develop the project&amp;#8217;s preliminary design; test project components; and conduct audience evaluation. Implementation grants are for projects in the final stages of preparation to &amp;#8220;go live&amp;#8221; before the public. Grants support final scholarly research and consultation, design development, production, and installation of a project for presentation to the public. </Description>

        <Description>Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system produces antibodies to cells within the body leading to widespread inflammation and tissue damage. SLE may be characterized by periods of illness with a variety of clinical manifestations, that can affect joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels, and periods of remission. People with SLE may experience fatigue, pain or swelling in joints, skin rashes, and fevers. SLE can occur at any age, but is primarily a disease of young women with peak occurrence between puberty and child-bearing years. It has strong disparities in incidence, prevalence, and survival by both sex and race/ethnicity, with women affected 8 times more than men and many minorities affected at higher rates than whites. Estimates of the prevalence of SLE vary widely, and misdiagnosis is common. Newer and more complete CDC-funded population-based SLE registries with a primary purpose of generating better prevalence (and incidence) estimates published results in 2014. Annual prevalence from 2002-2004 were much higher for blacks than whites in Michigan (Washtenaw and Wayne Counties) (111.6 vs 47.5 per 100,000 persons) and in Georgia (DeKalb and Fulton Counties) (128.0 vs. 39.9 per 100,000 persons). Annual prevalence from 2007-2009 for American Indians/Alaska Natives was 178 per 100,000. New registries in California (San Francisco County) and New York City (Manhattan) will soon provide annual prevalence estimates for Hispanics and Asians.Annual prevalence estimates were much higher among women than men in Michigan (9.3 vs 1.5 per 100,000 persons), in Georgia (145.8 vs 17.5 per 100,000 persons), and in the American Indian/Alaska Native population (271 vs. 54 per 100,000 persons). Healthy People 2020This FOA addresses Healthy People 2020. It is committed to the vision of a society in which all people live long, healthy lives. This cooperative agreement addresses Healthy People 2020 focus areas of Arthritis, Osteoporosis, and Chronic Back Conditions; Access to Health Services, Disability, and Health; Health Communication and Health Information Technology; and Health-related Quality of Life &amp;amp; Well-being. All arthritis objectives are relevant because lupus isconsidered part of &amp;#8220;doctor-diagnosed arthritis&amp;#8221; as used in Healthy People and in CDC surveillance systems. This site is available at http://healthypeople.gov. Other National Public Health Priorities and StrategiesThis Funding Opportunity Announcement aligns with national health objectives aimed at creating social and physical environments that promote good health for all with the following goals of CDC&amp;#8217;s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion: &amp;#8226; Monitor, prevent, delay, detect, and control chronic diseases. &amp;#8226; Conduct chronic disease research and translate to practical and effective prevention strategies. &amp;#8226; Promote social, environmental, policy, and systems approaches that support health. &amp;#8226; Achieve equity in health by eliminating racial and ethnic disparities and achieving optimal health for all Americans. &amp;#8226; Work with partners from all sectors of society to increase the reach and effectiveness of public health programs. Relevant WorkCDC has previously funded and is currently funding work on a variety of SLE-relevant activities, including lupus registries, follow-up studies, formative research, and creating a public health agenda.Five Lupus Registries were designed to create credible estimates of the incidence and prevalence of lupus in various ethnic groups by creating population-based cohorts. These include: &amp;#8226; Developing and Implementing the Georgia Lupus Registry &amp;#8226; Michigan Lupus Epidemiology and Surveillance (MILES) Program &amp;#8226; California Lupus Surveillance Program &amp;#8226; Manhattan Lupus Surveillance Program &amp;#8226; Indian Health Service Lupus ProjectThree longitudinal follow-up studies of established population-based lupus cohorts will determine natural history, access to care, current treatment, and other outcomes. These currently funded projects are being completed by University of Michigan, Emory University, and University of California, San Francisco.Formative research on SLE self-management is being completed through a two-year (beginning in 2014) Interagency Agreement with Oak Ridge Associated Universities titled &amp;#8220;Filling a Gap: Creating Educational Program/Tools/Materials to Enhance Self-Management in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).&amp;#8221;The Lupus Public Health Agenda will help create an agenda and prioritize public health efforts addressing lupus. This is being done through the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors award &amp;#8220;Developing a Public Health Agenda for Lupus&amp;#8221;, an activity that will be completed in 2015. ApproachApplicants will use the logic model which provides a framework for program planning, implementation, and evaluation throughout the entire project period. Working backwards through the logic model from the long-term objectives (impacts) will assure that strategies, activities, and short-term outcomes are aligned to achieve impact. Thus, all proposed objectives and activities in the applicant&amp;apos;s work plan should be connected to elements reflected in the logic model and contribute to the ultimate goals of improving lupus symptom recognition, diagnosis, and use of self-management, physical activity, and strength training resources; improving lupus health outcomes, and improving health-related quality of life among individuals with lupus. PurposeThe purpose of this program is to conduct activities that enhance the health and quality of life of people with lupus and their care givers by creating sustainable lupus awareness and improving lupus-related health communications, increasing patient and provider education and implementation of lupus self-management education, physical activity, and strength training strategies, and developing national partnerships with community-based organizations to enhance sustainability of efforts to increase awareness, improve health communication, and increase referral and dissemination of self-management and physical activity resources. CollaborationsIt is strongly recommended that applicants work collaboratively with CDC and other public health and lupus stakeholders, including but not limited to previously funded lupus registries projects, current lupus follow-up studies and formative research projects, and participants and supporters of the National Public Health Agenda for Lupus (to be published by September 2015). Target PopulationsApplicants must target individuals with lupus, specifically those with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and sub populations of individuals with SLE where healthdisparities are evident. They must also with work health care providers who care for patients with SLE. Applicants must describe the ways in which the efforts of this FOA will include individuals with lupus and their care providers in the planning, development,and implementation of proposed activities. CDC Evaluation and Performance Measurement StrategyWith technical assistance from CDC staff, the grantee will design an evaluation plan based on current data sources available (i.e., current rheumatologist and current information being provided to help SLE patients manage their disease outside of the clinic arena). The lupus registries projects and follow-up studies will provide a baseline for provider information and will expand to create data sources as necessary. The grantee will determine the best evaluation plan (seeking CDC guidance as necessary) that measures the following program goals (Impact Evaluation) based on the short, medium, and long-term goals.Applicant Evaluation and Performance Measurement PlanCDC may revise existing requirements through an addendum to this notice, which could include additional recipient requirements for evaluation and performance measurement, in which case a detailed explanation of any additional requirements will be provided in the Notice of Award to the successful applicants. Any additional reporting requirements will not exceed applicable grants regulation limits. Applicants Evaluation and Performance Measurement Plan will be comprised of two components:1. Tracking progress and completion of strategies - Awardees will track overall progress on infrastructure and short-term outcome objectives, as well as specific progress on activities on a quarterly basis. This collection of data is known as performance monitoring data.Use of ongoing performance monitoring data, along with any needs assessment or other data, for ongoing program improvement and mid-course corrections.Track overall progress on outcome objectives as well as specific progress on activities designed for targeted populations. Use of performance monitoring data and other available sources to document the steps taken to implement program activities by describing successes, barriers, and challenges.2. Measurement of short-term outcomes - Using detailed guidance from CDC (provided post-award), awardees will set targets and then monitor progress towards these targets on the number of individuals with lupus and providers who were reached by the awareness campaign, the number of evidence-based self-management, physical activity and strength programs that were disseminated, and the number of referrals to lupus clinical and community based resources. Organizational Capacity of Awardees to Execute the ApproachFunding will be provided to the qualified applicant who can demonstrate previous experience and success in serving the diverse needs of individuals with SLE and their families in the U.S. Examples of organizational capacity criteria for applicants include: Serving as an organization wholly dedicated to lupus with national and local legally affiliated networks (legal authority to conduct work under the name of the national organization), accountable under a series of approved criteria and standards with robust quality assurance. In order for this program to have nationwide impact, the organization should be able to disseminate strategies to at least 25 states.Providing direct support services for people with lupus through professional health educators and a legally affiliated network (legal authority to conduct work under the name of the national organization).Successful history of conceiving developing and carrying out national lupus awareness campaigns such as advertising council campaigns and the organizational capacity to handle increased inquiries by phone and web.Experience in surveying, identifying, and interpreting the needs of those who are affected by SLE.Experience in identifying the needs of those who have or may have lupus in translating those needs into messages that resonate with the target audience and motivate action.Capacity and proven prior success to engage various types of media across the country to use campaign and/or health communication materials.Proven prior success distributing and promoting awareness and/or health communication campaigns on behalf of non-profit organizations and government agencies.Capacity to engage volunteer talent from the advertising and communication industries and the resources of the business and lupus communities to deliver critical messages to the publicIn addition, applicants for all three components of this FOA must be able to demonstrate the capacity to conduct all of the strategies and activities outlined in this FOA (i.e., create sustainable lupus awareness and improve lupus-related health communications, increase patient and provider education and implementation of lupus self-management education, physical activity, and strength training strategies, and develop a national network of lupus partnerships. CDC Monitoring and Accountability ApproachMonitoring activities include routine and ongoing communication between CDC and awardees, site visits, and awardees reporting (including workplans, performance, and financial reporting). Consistent with applicable grants regulations and policies, CDC expects the following to be included in post-award monitoring for grants and cooperative agreements: Tracking awardees progress in achieving the desired outcomes. Ensuring the adequacy of awardees systems that underlie and generate data reports. Creating an environment that fosters integrity in program performance and results.Monitoring may also include the following activities: Ensuring that work plans are feasible based on the budget and consistent with the intent of the award. Ensuring that awardees are performing at a sufficient level to achieve outcomes within stated timeframes. Working with awardees on adjusting the work plan based on achievement of outcomes, evaluation results, and changing budgets. Monitoring performance measures (both programmatic and financial) to assure satisfactory performance levels.Other activities deemed necessary to monitor the award, if applicable.These activities may include monitoring and reporting activities that assist grants management staff (e.g., grants management officers and specialists, and project officers) in the identification, notification, and management of high-risk grantees. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Indian Health Service (IHS) grant program is to combine existing resources and infrastructure with IHS Headquarters (HQ) and IHS area resources in order to address the broad challenges and opportunities associated with IHS preventive and clinical dental programs. In accordance with the recently stated priorities of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary on the need to achieve &amp;quot;higher value&amp;quot; health care services, the dental support centers will address two priority goals: (1) provide support, guidance, training, and enhancement of I/T/U dental programs within their area; and (2) ensure that the services of the support centers and the I/T/U/ dental programs result in measurable improvements in the oral health status of the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) patients served. In order to address these two goals, a strong collaborative working relation with the IHS HQ Division of Oral Health (DOH) and the Area Dental Director or Area Dental Officer should be maintained. In short, support centers will empower the dental programs they serve and impact oral health outcomes through the guidance and services they provide. Improvements to oral health must be documented.</Description>

        <Description>The Monticello Field Office (MFO) has identified the Indian Creek climbing area as an area of high priority for the portion of its mission directed at protecting the climbing environment. The sport of climbing has seen significant growth in its popularity over the last 20 years and continues to see new individuals joining the community on a regular basis. With the increase of indoor facilities, the adoption into media outlets and the availability of outdoor experiences this growth will likely not diminish. Indian Creek, with its world renowned crack climbing concentration, attracts climbers from across the world. The sensitive soils, plant communities and cultural resources of the area are beginning to crack under the strain of extensive use. Although the climbing community is a respectful one, looking to impact resources as little as possible, the sheer numbers of visitors could potentially have adverse effects on the landscape. The applicant must work with the MFO to plan, implement and develop mitigation activities to limit these impacts on the surrounding environment. Objectives: The MFO would like to determine a inventory and assessment of recreations sites, priority list of projects and complete NEPA compliant implementation plans for the Indian Creek area. The MFO is seeking an applicant to assist the MFO conduct a full &amp;quot;current conditions&amp;quot; assessment of the climbing resources of Indian Creek; including parking areas, approach trails, cliffside trails, dispersed camping and maintenance needs. This assessment will assist the MFO in prioritizing areas for work to meet the goals of the Resource Management Plan (RMP), protect resources and provide quality recreation experience to visitors. Once the inventory and assessment is complete, the MFO and the applicant will jointly investigate the needs and timeline for NEPA processes to complete recommended infrastructure work (toilets, trails, etc). Public Benefit: Indian Creek Climbing Area is an internationally recognized destination climbing location. Recreation use at Indian creek has increased in the past 10 years and with increased use has come increased recreational impacts. The BLM has determined that needs exist to improve existing or provide new facilities including information materials, human waste dispensers, trails, staging areas at cliff base, camping, and parking areas to facilitate the recreational use while protecting the resources. The applicant will assist the MFO to determine work priority by a) sensitive resource concerns b) current use c) anticipated increase in use. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to establish a mechanism for ongoing cooperation between ONC and HL7. It aims to provide specific dedicated support to HL7 for work on HL7-led standards development as well as corresponding implementation guidance and testing concepts of mutual interest to ONC and HL7. Additionally, given HL7s broad standards portfolio and the many other purposes for which interoperability will be necessary and for which HL7-developed standards would need to be implemented, it is anticipated that this ongoing cooperative relationship could include specific work aimed at a range of different technical standards developed and maintained by HL7. The initial tasks expected to be completed as part of this engagement include collaboration with HL7 to advance the implementation consistency and readiness of the current versions of the Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) (Releases 1.1 and 2.0) and supporting the implementation and governance of the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) standard and its accompanying resources and profiles.</Description>

        <Description>The BLM is tasked with the conservation, protection, and preservation of threatened and endangered species. Bryophytes and lichens are an integral and important part of Pacific Northwest forests. While much is known about vascular plant ranges and habitats, less is known about bryophytes and lichens. Although some species are considered rare, often there is not enough information about their ranges to verify rarity. Biodiversity Research Collective (BRC) is a group of scientists, who are studying bryophytes and lichens in order to further knowledge about these species. These studies have included the study of lichens found on rare Garry oak habitats in WA, inventories of soil crusts in eastern WA and OR and surveys for calicioid lichens in old growth forests and riparian areas of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. These studies are critical to our understanding of species that are suspected of being endangered or rare because they provide documentation of range extensions and abundance. The objective of this program is to compile and disseminate scientific information about lichens and bryophytes and their habitats; to produce assessments and educational materials; to facilitate education and training; lead field trips for State and Federal agencies and other public and private entities; perform lichen and bryophyte inventories; collaborate and work with Universities, State and Federal Agencies, Non-governmental organizations and the general public on lichenology and bryology.</Description>

        <Description>Background: In 1993 the Bureau of Land Management Redding Field Office acquired approximately 60 acres of land bordering an existing parcel in eastern Shasta County. PG&amp;amp;E acquired the new land from other private companies and then deeded the parcels to the BLM as part of a mitigation effort for a gas pipeline within the existing BLM parcel. This mitigation effort aimed to promote the health of a stand of Baker cypress (Hesperocyparis bakeri), a rare species of cypress tree, which would be impacted by the construction of the pipeline. The mitigation plan called for the acquisition and subsequent protection of surrounding Baker cypress stands as well as the restoration of the area directly impacted by the construction of the pipeline. This restoration consisted primarily of planting Baker cypress seedlings. This parcel is located eight miles south-southwest of Burney, just east of Tamarack Road. The parcel is located in the western halves of Sections 24 and 25, T. 34N, R. 2E. This agreement will cover the whole 178 acres of this parcel. This includes approximately 60 acres of Baker cypress stands and 25 acres of forest land suitable for small scale timber removal. The surrounding area consists almost exclusively of privately managed commercial forest land. Baker cypress is not a commercially desirable species and as such is often subjected to vegetation type conversions. In the 1993 Redding Resource Management Plan and Record of Decision, this area was designated as a Research Natural Area (RNA) and an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). The BLM defines RNAs as &amp;quot;special management areas designated&amp;#191; to preserve and protect typical or unusual ecological communities, associations, phenomena, characteristics, or natural features or processes for scientific and educational purposes. They are established and managed to protect ecological processes, conserve biological diversity, and provide opportunities for observation for research and education.&amp;quot; The Federal Land Policy and Management Act defines ACECs as areas where &amp;quot;special management attention is required&amp;#191; to protect and prevent irreparable damage to important historic, cultural, or scenic values, fish and wildlife resources and other natural systems or processes, or to protect life and safety from natural hazards.&amp;quot; The 1993 Redding Resource Management Plan and Record of Decision argues for the designation of this area as an ACEC because the location &amp;quot;warrants protection from any further disturbance&amp;quot; in order to insure a suitable &amp;quot;population for further research and study of this interesting but vulnerable species.&amp;quot; Baker cypress is a species of rare cypress tree thought to only exist in 11 disparate locations throughout the northern Sierra Nevada, Cascade, and Siskiyou Mountains. There is a high diversity and genetic differentiation between the various populations of Baker cypress, which increases the need to protect each distinct stand. Baker cypress can grow in association with chaparral, mixed evergreen, or montane coniferous forest in generally infertile soils from elevations of 3,795 to 7,042 feet. Baker cypress is a California Native Plant Society list 4 species, meaning that it is a species of limited distribution and should be monitored for population decline. Baker cypress is a fire adapted species with closed, or serotinous, cones which only open after a fire. Additionally, the seeds need high light situations and exposed mineral soils in order to germinate, characteristics often found after an area has burned. However, after years of fire suppression regeneration is often limited. Since the new land was acquired by the BLM and the parcel&amp;#191;s designation as an RNA and ACEC was finalized in 1993, no management actions or research attempts have occurred on this land. The Baker cypress stands in this area are showing signs of aging and senescence. Many trees have been blown over by high winds. Additionally, many Baker cypress trees are being overtopped and shaded out by other conifer species, especially Douglas-fir. These factors make this area a great candidate for a restoration and research effort. Objectives: In order to better protect and promote the health of this Baker cypress Stand, the Redding Field Office aims to engage in a restoration, research, and stewardship partnership. The designation of this land as both an RNA and an ACEC provides management guidance for the continued protection of the species and the beginning of an associated research project. Due to the declining health of the Baker cypress stand, restoration work to improve growing conditions and stimulate regeneration of the stand will be important parts of this partnership. There is very little known about Baker cypress as a species and even less known about best management strategies for the species. With this partnership, the Redding Field Office aims to increase knowledge of how to best manage this stand into the future. Public Benefit: The public will benefit from this partnership through two avenues. First, the restoration work itself will protect and promote the health of this particular Baker cypress stand. Because of its limited and disjointed distribution, the health of every extant stand is important for the continued success of the species. Additionally, Baker cypress stands provide different habitat opportunities for both plants and wildlife. By protecting this stand, this restoration partnership will improve available wildlife and plant habitat for associated species. Second, this partnership will increase knowledge of how to best manage all Baker cypress stands. This will enable the use of best management practices across the range of the species on various public and private lands. In this way, a research partnership will benefit the public at large.</Description>

        <Description>The Willamette Valley prairies are one of the most endangered habitats in the U.S (Noss et al. 1995). With less than half a percent of habitat remaining, and little of that in pristine condition, restoration of this native habitat is essential if this ecotype and the species that depend on it are going to survive. These prairies are threatened by the continued degradation, habitat loss, and fragmentation of their native prairie ecosystems. In 1994 the BLM partnered with the City of Eugene and The Nature Conservancy to create the West Eugene Wetlands Partnership, currently known as the Rivers to Ridges Partnership. This partnership has grown and now includes fifteen Federal and State agencies, public, private, and non-profit organizations that share a vision dedicated to improving the quality of life for residents in the upper Willamette Valley by working together to protect and enhance the region&amp;#65533;s land and water resources and their ecosystem functions and values. The partners combined have over 20 years of institution knowledge, share staff expertise, specialized equipment, and other resources to achieve common goals and objectives that are outlined in the West Eugene Wetlands Plan (2004), US Fish &amp;amp; Wildlife Recovery Plan for the Prairie Species of Western Oregon (2010), and the West Eugene Wetland Resource Management Plan (2015). The overall objective of this program is to continue to partner with the Rivers to Ridges Partnership to work cooperatively to accomplish protection and conservation, as well as enhancement treatments, to an endangered ecosystem occupied by Bureau Sensitive Species, as well as federally listed plants and animals within the West Eugene Wetlands project area. This program will involve projects such as, but not limited to, maintaining wetland and prairie functions through habitat maintenance and restoration activities; collection and grow out of rare, endemic, ecologically appropriate native plant materials for restoration projects; control of noxious and invasive species in order to meet U.S. Fish &amp;amp; Wildlife Service Recovery goals for habitat targets.</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has proposed to work cooperatively with the recipient to monitor federal subsistence wildlife resource populations (i.e. moose, caribou, mountain goats, furbearers, small game, and upland birds) on both BLM and State of Alaska lands in Game Management Unit 13 (GMU). The wildlife migrated across federal and state lands. In the past, a state agency has established monitoring and assessment of game resources. BLM will share costs, field staff and expertise to actively manage subsistence resource on BLM lands and neighboring State of Alaska lands in GMU13. The project will include sharing the cost of VHF/GPS collars, immobilization drugs, fixed-wing and helicopter time, darting supplies, and field staff to monitor subsistence wildlife resource populations. This subsistence wildlife resource populations&amp;#65533; project will provide crucial information on twinning rates, population composition, population size, recruitment, and movement data - all important information used in determining stipulations for permits involving activities that potentially impact federal subsistence hunting seasons.</Description>

        <Description>The full extent of fish distribution in Alaska is far from complete, with less than 50% of the 365,000 miles of streams in the state inventoried. Furthermore, increased tourism from around the globe and future development are likely to increase the risk of non-native aquatic invasive species introductions. This project is designed to complement and enhance our existing Aquatic AIM project through the addition of environmental DNA sampling. Environmental DNA collected from streams and lakes may provide sufficient information to determine fish species presence. This project would develop and test methods to determine if eDNA can detect the presence of a species of concern (SOC; e.g., resident or anadromous fish, invasive aquatics, etc) in a watershed. This effort would require the development of genetic marker profiles for species of concern in Alaska. Secondly, this project would test whether samples collected by the public could be used for eDNA sampling, thus further enhancing our understanding of fish distribution on the landscape. Lastly, this project would integrate geospatial and Earth observation data to develop species distribution models to predict SOC distributions across Alaska. This a statewide project, however, for the first year the area within the National Petroleum Reserve &amp;#65533; Alaska (NPR-A). In subsequent years different areas will be identified based on BLM&amp;#65533;s funding. The development of a tool that can be used to more cost effectively determine species occurrence across the landscape in Alaska is paramount to ensuring the sustained productivity of priority aquatic resources and early detection of aquatic invasive species. </Description>

        <Description>The NEH Enduring Questions grant program supports faculty members in the preparation of a new course on a fundamental concern of human life as addressed by the humanities. This question-driven course would encourage undergraduates and teachers to join together in a deep and sustained program of reading in order to encounter influential ideas, works, and thinkers over the centuries. What is an enduring question? The following list is neither prescriptive nor exhaustive but serves to illustrate. &amp;#8226; Are there universals in human nature? &amp;#8226; What is the source of moral authority? &amp;#8226; What is evil? &amp;#8226; Can war be just? &amp;#8226; Is peace possible? &amp;#8226; What is worth dying for? &amp;#8226; What is the value of education? &amp;#8226; Can greed be good? &amp;#8226; What is good government? &amp;#8226; What is progress? &amp;#8226; Am I my brother&amp;#8217;s keeper? Enduring questions persist across historical eras, regions, and world cultures. They inform intellectual, ethical, artistic, and religious traditions and engage thoughtful people from all walks of life. They transcend time and place but are also relevant to our lives today. Enduring questions have more than one plausible or compelling answer, allow for dialogue across generations, and inspire genuine intellectual pluralism. The course is to be developed by one or more (up to four) faculty members at a single institution, but not team taught. Enduring Questions courses must be taught from a common syllabus and must be offered during the grant period at least twice by each faculty member involved in developing the course. The grant supports the work of faculty members in designing, preparing, and assessing the new course. It may also be used for ancillary activities that enhance faculty-student intellectual community, such as visits to museums and artistic or cultural events. An Enduring Questions course may be taught by faculty from any department or discipline in the humanities or by faculty outside the humanities (for example, astronomy, biology, economics, law, mathematics, medicine, or psychology), so long as humanities sources are central to the course. </Description>

        <Description>Over the past 20 years, the Medford District of the BLM has supported collaborative efforts to conserve native plants in SW Oregon with a variety of agencies and organizations. Projects have focused on studying long-term population trends, assessing population viability, and investigating reintroduction techniques for rare plant species. Specific projects currently underway include long-term studies conducting a threat assessment of Limnanthes pumila ssp. pumila in the Table Rocks Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), population monitoring of Fritillaria gentneri, demographic monitoring of Lomatium cookii in the Illinois Valley, and developing Lomatium cookii reintroduction techniques. Through this cooperative agreement, the Medford District seeks a qualified partner to continue these projects, and similar efforts for other rare botanical species to conserve the natural heritage of SW Oregon. The principal objective of this project is to study, conserve, and restore native plants and natural communities in SW Oregon. This program is to gain an understanding of the viability of rare plant species and how they respond to management actions and stressors, including climate change. Focal species will include federally listed and state listed vascular plants.</Description>

        <Description>The BLM is tasked with conservation of populations of plants that are listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and populations that require special management to reduce the likelihood of future listing under ESA. Collectively, these plants are referred to as Special Status Species (SSS). Conservation of SSS includes surveying, inventorying, monitoring, and protecting existing populations, as well as re-establishment of new populations. Monitoring is conducted to determine the abundance, habitat requirements, life history traits, population trends, and potential threats to habitat degradation in order to mitigate potential impacts from land management decisions. Due to the rarity of many of SSS plants, there is an information gap on the plants&amp;#65533; biology that makes effective resource management decisions difficult. Successful restoration projects rely heavily on accurate plant biology information. The objective of this program is to re-visit known Special Status Species populations on Federal Land within the BLM Lakeview District in order to update previous monitoring data and establish new monitoring projects, as needed, in order to assess and document abundance, reproduction, population trends, soil characteristics and potential threats. Additionally compare current populations to the previous monitoring data to estimate population trends for specific Special Status Plant Species sites; develop long term monitoring protocol; assess habitat degradation threats and impacts; and develop recommendations for management actions needed to ensure the long-term viability of these populations; and conduct surveys in potential habitat for new occurrences of Special Status Plant Species.</Description>

        <Description>Background: The monarch butterfly migration is one of nature&amp;apos;s most spectacular events. North American monarchs travel up to an astonishing 3,000 miles in an annual migration from their summer breeding habitat to overwintering grounds. The Monarch Joint Venture (MJV) is a partnership of federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations, and academic programs that are working together to support and coordinate efforts to protect the monarch migration across the lower 48 United States. The MJV is committed to a science-based approach to monarch conservation work, guided by the North American Monarch Conservation Plan (2008). Based on the successes of previous Joint Ventures, the Monarch Joint Venture brings together a broad coalition of organizations working to conserve the monarch migration. The monarch migration was listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as an endangered phenomenon in 1983. In 2010, the World Wildlife Fund included monarchs on its list of the &amp;quot;Top 10 to Watch&amp;quot; in 2010: species that are thought to be in need of close monitoring and protection. The vision of this joint venture is abundant monarch populations that can be sustained into perpetuity, and more broadly to promote monarchs as a flagship species whose conservation will sustain habitats for pollinators and other plants and animals. Objectives: This Joint Venture works throughout the U.S. to conserve and protect monarch populations and their migratory phenomena by implementing science-based habitat conservation and restoration measures in collaboration with multiple stakeholders. The BLM is interested in supporting: 1) Land manager, agency staff, and citizen science trainings will be coordinated through MJV partners. The MJV coordinator will work with BLM staff and others to recruit for and organize workshops or training events. 2) Toxicity studies, habitat assessment, habitat mapping, and other research activities will be carried out by MJV partners selected to be the most appropriate for the work to be done, as prioritized by the MJV steering committee and as funds allow. 3) Habitat-increase work will provide support for MJV partners, leveraging current projects to help establish more habitat for monarchs, primarily in the West. Public Benefit: Support for protecting America&amp;apos;s landscapes and natural resources is among the Bureau of Land Management&amp;apos;s (BLM) high priority conservation outcomes. The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public lands, together with associated waterways and plant and animal species. Maintaining and preserving the Nation&amp;apos;s lands, waters, and wildlife have profound influences on all facets of the human experience, including health and well&amp;#8208;being, contributions to local economies, and social and spiritual enhancements. Land in desired condition is valued for its environmental resources, ecosystem services and recreational and scenic merits, and vast open spaces, which contribute to public enjoyment and health. Maintaining or improving the condition of stream and shoreline miles benefits fish populations, enhances wildlife habitat, and contributes to the balanced ecology of an area. The Nation&amp;apos;s forests, shrublands, wetlands, grasslands, mountains and deserts house biological diversity that is critical to overall ecosystem health, and impacts species survival and well&amp;#8208;being. Protecting the thousands of native plant and animal species, including those with special status under the Endangered Species Act like the monarch butterfly that was petitioned for listing in 2014, preserves the rich natural legacy of this Nation and enables Americans of today to provide wonder, enrichment, and enjoyment to future generations.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), Regions 4 and 5, intend to make a sole source award of a cooperative agreement to the NCBG at the University of North Carolina. This project was previously vetted through an internal USFWS review process, via the Cooperative Recovery Initiative (CRI). The CRI is a cross-programmatic effort to complete on-the-ground conservation to address the highest priority threatened and endangered species on and near wildlife refuges. Funding is directed toward preventing extinctions or for implementing recovery actions for species near delisting or reclassification from endangered to threatened status.</Description>

        <Description>The Era of Hope Scholar Award supports individuals who are early in their careers and have high potential for innovation in breast cancer research. These individuals should be exceptionally talented scientists who have demonstrated that they are the &amp;#147;best and brightest&amp;#148; in their field(s) through extraordinary creativity, vision, and productivity. They should have demonstrated experience in forming effective partnerships and collaborations and should exhibit strong potential for leadership in the breast cancer research community.Since the intent of the Era of Hope Scholar Award is to recognize creative and innovative individuals rather than projects, the central feature of the award is the innovative contribution that the Principal Investigator (PI) can make toward ending breast cancer. The PI should articulate a vision that challenges current dogma and demonstrates an ability to look beyond tradition and convention.Experience in breast cancer research is not required; however, the application must focus on breast cancer and the PI must commit at least 50% of his/her full-time professional effort during the award period to breast cancer research.</Description>

        <Description>The Innovator Award supports visionary individuals who have demonstrated creativity, innovative work, and leadership in any field including, but not limited to, breast cancer. The Innovator Award will provide these individuals with the funding and freedom to pursue their most novel, visionary, high-risk ideas that could ultimately lead to ending breast cancer. Since the intent of the Innovator Award mechanism is to recognize creative and innovative individuals rather than projects, the central feature of the award is the innovative contribution that the Principal Investigator (PI) can make toward ending breast cancer. The PI should have a past record of creativity, promise for continued innovation in future work, and a vision that challenges current dogma and demonstrates an ability to look beyond tradition and convention. The PI is also expected to have demonstrated success at forming and leading effective partnerships and collaborations. Experience in breast cancer research is not required; however, the application must focus on breast cancer, and the PI must commit at least 50% of his/her full-time professional effort during the award period to breast cancer research.</Description>

        <Description>The Idea Award is designed to promote new ideas that are still in the early stages of development and have the potential to yield highly impactful data and new avenues of investigation. This mechanism supports conceptually innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. Applications should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Innovation and impact are the most important aspects of the Idea Award. Applications that demonstrate exceptional scientific merit but lack innovation and high potential impact do not meet the intent of the Idea Award. Presentation of preliminary data is not consistent with the intent of the Idea Award mechanism. While the inclusion of preliminary data is not prohibited, the strength of the application should not rely on preliminary data, but on the innovative idea and the potential impact it will provide.</Description>

        <Description>The United States Government (USG) seeks to enter into a Cooperative Agreement (the Agreement) for a five-year, $24 million Health Service Delivery (HSD) Program to address critical RMNCH issues in Guinea. Specifically, the award recipient (the Awardee) will play the lead role in supporting the development, introduction, and scale up of high-impact Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH) interventions. In addition, this program will also support the efforts to rebuild and strengthen Guinea&amp;#8217;s health system in the wake of the devastating Ebola outbreak. The HSD Program will contribute towards achieving USAID/Guinea&amp;#8217;s Development Objective of &amp;#8220;Utilization of Quality Health Services Increased&amp;#8221; as outlined in its 2015-2019 Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS). In order to maximize impact, USAID/Guinea expects that the HSD Program will work in concert with two other multi-year health activities: 1) health systems strengthening (HSS), and 2) social behavior change communication (SBCC) and social mobilization. The expectation is that all three activities will interrelate, capitalizing on linkages and synergies among one another. </Description>

        <Description>Background: In 2005 the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) entered into a 10-year Stewardship Agreement with the Trinity County Resource Conservation District (TCRCD) to manage the Weaverville Community Forest (WCF). These lands, approximately 1,000 acres of BLM-managed land within the Weaverville Basin, were up for disposal preceding the agreement. A trade was proposed to trade these lands with Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI), but the public outcry was immense. While multiple community meetings took place, the Stewardship Authority became available at about this same time. The BLM entered into a stewardship agreement with TCRCD at that time, and it has become a showpiece of successful stewardship cooperative agreements. Three forest health timber sales occurred in the area, firewood was sold to the community, Christmas trees planted, roads maintained and unapproved trails closed, and an experimental thinning and burning of oak woodlands has occurred. The agreement has been very successful. Objectives: Now that the original agreement with TCRCD has expired, the BLM would like to develop and support another ten-year stewardship agreement for the WCF. The area lands supported with a new stewardship agreement would expand to include more BLM-managed land within the Weaverville Basin, bringing the total land within the agreement area to just over 3,000 acres. Forest health timber sales, broadcast burning, firewood sales, etc., are expected to continue. One main objective to be supported in the new agreement is to continue the community relationship the BLM has now developed with the management of these lands. A steering committee is currently in place comprised of TCRCD, BLM, USFS, and interested members of the community, including former logging professionals and environmental advocates. The BLM plans to continue to utilize the steering committee to provide input into the decision-making process regarding these lands, and continue to offer forest products, in the form of timber, firewood, biomass, etc., to the local community of Weaverville, CA. Also, recipient(s) will be expected to facilitate public outreach meetings on a yearly basis to discuss projects within the Weaverville Community Forest. Public Benefit: The public would benefit from this agreement by having continued intense stewardship involvement with the lands located in the Weaverville basin. This agreement helps the public, through the partnership as well as the steering committee, to have a strong unified voice in the management of these lands. Awarding a new stewardship agreement would also help avoid interruption of the economic benefits received from the sale of the forest products of the area, as well as the benefits of service work jobs related to the agreement, all of which help improve the local economy. With the BLM&amp;apos;s support, this agreement will help to better involve the community in the NEPA process, as well as incorporate public opinion into how public lands within their community are managed. The community brings a wealth of knowledge and history of the land to the table and with the BLM&amp;apos;s support, can help land managers make better and more informed decisions.</Description>

        <Description>The BCRP Transformative Vision Award supports research projects that will fulfill an extraordinary vision for dramatically affecting the prevention or treatment of breast cancer. This award requires a plan that will test and achieve the vision as quickly as possible through the translation of the research ideas to individuals with, and/or those at risk for, breast cancer. The scope of the effort may include a broad spectrum of research spanning from basic to clinical studies. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Vision and Impact: A vision for a new approach that will have a revolutionary impact on the prevention or treatment of breast cancer must be articulated. The time to the final impact may vary, but the success of the vision must be transformative and significantly advance the goal of ending breast cancer. A clear and compelling presentation of how the vision is transformative for individuals with, and/or those at risk for, breast cancer must be provided. Implementation: The vision must be supported by a detailed plan that identifies critical milestones, outlines the innovations and technical solutions that will be implemented to accomplish the milestones, and explains how these solutions will be translated to individuals with, and/or those at risk for, breast cancer. It is expected that the proposed plan will present an exceptional level of innovation and creativity and that the Principal Investigator (PI) will assemble the team necessary to realize the vision. The PI is expected to have demonstrated experience in successfully leading large, focused projects. The PI should create an environment that fosters and supports innovation and creativity, with consistent, intensive interaction within the research team in a way that engages all members of the team in all aspects of the research plan.</Description>

        <Description>Background: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah State Office and Utah Geological Survey have been working together since 2002 for the management of paleontological resources data in the state of Utah. In March 2009 the passage of the Paleontological Resources Preservation Act further reinforced the objectives of joint forces to manage the paleontological resource data by emphasizing interagency coordination and collaborative efforts where possible with non-federal partners, the scientific community, and the general public. Over the years this joint effort developed a GIS-based Paleontological Sensitivity maps synthesized from the locality database and geologic map data Objectives: BLM currently has funding to support an organization that is currently maintaining a fossil locality database within the state of Utah and who will work collaborative with existing partners to continue using and developing this database to establish a uniformity of fossil locality data, and to enhance the protection and management of paleontological resources within the state of Utah. This partnership will benefit both the recipient&amp;#65533;s and BLMs mission for protecting and managing paleontological resources in the state of Utah.</Description>

        <Description> This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00997 Project Title Denali-Susitna Exploration Camp Recipient Upper Susitna Soil and Water Conservation District Total Anticipated Award Amount $20,000 Cost Share 25% Anticipated Length of Agreement 3 months Anticipated Period of Performance 3 months Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC &amp;#167;1701 CFDA # and Title 15.931 Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Unique qualifications Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro &amp;#8211; 907-644-3315 OVERVIEW Denali National Park and Preserve (hereafter referred to as &amp;#8220;Denali&amp;#8221;), and Upper Susitna Soil and Water Conservation District (USSWCD) are partnering to run Denali-Susitna Exploration Camp, a two-week summer camp for Talkeetna youth. Denali and USSWCD are strong historical partners in the coordination and development of educational programs and curricula. These programs promote care for and enhancement of the cultural and natural resources protected by national parks. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN These programs promote care for and enhancement of our cultural and natural heritage. The partnership also strengthens the Service&amp;#8217;s goal of serving south-Denali communities. This project helps meet two goals of the NPS&amp;#8217; call to action; &amp;#8220;Call to Action #15: A Class Act&amp;#8221;, which is to help students develop a deep understanding of park resources and the relevance of parks in their lives through a series of park education programs, and, &amp;#8220;Call to Action #16: Live and Learn&amp;#8221;, which is to provide multiple ways for children to learn about the national parks and what they reveal about nature, the nation&amp;#8217;s history, and issues central to our civic life. Denali National Park and Preserve is continually seeking ways to reach out to the local community. This program, called Denali &amp;#8211; Susitna Exploration Camp (hereafter referred to as &amp;#8220;camp&amp;#8221;), has made great strides in helping the park to build strong ties with the children of the Talkeetna, Willow, Trapper Creek and Sunshine communities. Camp consists of a two week-long component that will take place during the summer of 2015: Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) high school students will learn about cultural resources relevant to central Alaska during an archaeological field school to take place in the town of Talkeetna, AK. During this week, the YCC students will learn archaeological excavation techniques, the history of Talkeetna, and the importance of cultural resources. Camp objectives include: &amp;#8226; To share and make relevant the importance of archaeological resources and current research activities to camp participants and residents of the Upper Susitna Valley. &amp;#8226; To teach high school youth about cultural resources. &amp;#8226; To support USSWCD in enlisting the cooperation of local land owners in the wise preservation of their cultural resources. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT A. The Recipient agrees to: 1. Recruit and register YCC students to participate in the camp week. 2. Provide proof of insurance for YCC and younger students participating in the camp. 3. Coordinate with NPS education and resources staff to provide YCC students with leadership, teaching, backcountry living, and natural and cultural history training. 4. Coordinate and pay for food, transportation, insurance. 5. Provide one or more staff to co-supervise the camp along with NPS staff. Ensure all relevant equipment purchased remains property of Cultural Resources, which may be used in future camps. 6. Develop an emergency action plan. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT B. NPS agrees to: 1. Provide NTE $20,000 in financial assistance to USSWCD to achieve the purposes of this agreement. 2. To the extent practical and depending on availability, allow USSWCD personnel to use government equipment and infrastructure to achieve the goals of the project (e.g. electronics for audiovisual needs, use of Teklanika Field Camp, use of Murie Science and Learning Center classroom). Any such equipment and infrastructure shall be accounted for according to appropriate NPS rules, regulations and standards. 3. Assist in the coordination of camp logistics and other needs as practicable. 4. Take the lead in the development of camp curricula and the field project. 5. Assist in the development and delivery of the camp by assigning appropriate personnel to work with the students (i.e. cultural resource staff, archaeologists.) 6. Determine locations and make reservations for NPS sites and facilities used in the implementation of both camps. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. (6) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: Unique Qualifications: &amp;#8226; USSWCD already hires and insures YCC students from Talkeetna area, whom Denali seeks to serve. This puts USSWCD in a unique position to partner and use the camp as an opportunity to build skills and serve the community. &amp;#8226; Denali-Susitna Exploration Camp has been conducted with USSWCD numerous times and the curricula were developed in concert with this entity. It would be an effective use of the government&amp;#8217;s resources to build on this past experience. </Description>

        <Description>The Cooperating Technical Partners Program (CTP Program) exists to strengthen and increase the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through fostering strong Federal, State, Tribal, regional and local partnerships for the purposes of reducing flood losses and promoting community resiliency. The CTP Program may provide federal assistance, through a grant or cooperative agreement, to an eligible Cooperating Technical Partner (herein referred to as &amp;quot;CTP&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;grantee&amp;quot;) to perform various projects and activities that stimulate and support the ability of NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and NFIP-participating communities (as defined in 44 CFR Part 59.1) to continue their ongoing regulatory NFIP responsibilities as well as support the ability of States, communities and the public and private sector to mitigate flood risk.The CTP Program seeks to stimulate and enhance the existing capabilities of CTPs to increase local involvement in, and ownership of, the development and maintenance of flood risk data and products, such as the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other risk related products, as well as other support to advance the goals and objectives of the NFIP. Partnerships developed through FEMA&amp;apos;s CTP Program are in the best interest of State and local communities, the NFIP and the public.CTPs may be able to perform activities related to program management, technical risk analysis and mapping, and communication of flood risk hazard data and information. Only qualified partners of the CTP Program are eligible for federal assistance awards through the CTP Program. Recipients must:be a CTP (i.e., have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA HQ or a FEMA Regional Office)either be or represent a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good-standing, or a FEMA-approved non-profit agency whose primary mission supports the goals and objectives of the NFIP;have existing non-Federally funded processes and/or systems in place to support the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination and communication of flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping;have the capability to perform funded activities; demonstrate the ability to achieve the CTP Program performance metrics and provide timely and accurate reports to FEMA documenting performance and achievements; andwhen applicable, agree to perform work in the Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and update the activities within the MIP every 30 days in the Studies Workflow (and more frequently within the Revisions Workflow).CTPs are encouraged to work with FEMA in advance of the application to understand FEMA program priorities, objectives and measures, and to identify specific tasks to undertake. In support of program objectives, FEMA may provide technical assistance, training, and/or data to a CTP to enhance the activities within the project categories. Any funds FEMA provides through a grant or cooperative agreement to complete project activities are in addition to the leveraged resources and data which may be provided by the CTP to complete the tasks agreed upon. When awarded a grant or cooperative agreement through the CTP Program in support of program objectives and to advance program measures, the CTP must comply with the requirements outlined in this announcement, the terms and conditions of the award, as well as the Partnership Agreement and the associated Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement approved by FEMA.</Description>

SCA crew members will not use power tools (e.g. chainsaws) and will not construct new trail structures where such structures did not exist, without permission from the Trails Foreman. While working on trails, volunteers must wear identification (volunteer or SCA nametag, cap or uniform). &amp;#8226; Safety is critical to an efficient operation. Crew members must practice safe work habits and use proper Personal Protective Equipment. Safe work practices include using proper lifting procedures and wearing good footwear and proper clothing. Also, watch out for visitors and other workers, and watch out for yourself. The project addresses the public purposes of engaging members of the public (especially urban youth) as participants in the stewardship of their national park; and completing needed maintenance and repairs of park-wide recreational trails. Education through experience is one of the prime components of these SCA positions. Mount Rainier will acquaint our crew members with wilderness ethics, resource management policies, bear awareness, and federal land management principles; and will discuss with them the options for further internships, volunteer service, or employment with agencies like the National Park Service. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The Student Conservation Association agrees to: 1. Provide three 10-person crews including leaders that will each work tours of 11 work days during July, August, and possibly late June, who will build, repair, and maintain trails at sites in Mount Rainier National Park under the Division of Maintenance. 2. Provide for transportation to and from Mount Rainier National Park and to and from work sites within the park. 3. Provide lodging and subsistence during the tour of duty. 4. Repair trails (including some new construction) to the standards of the National Park Service. 5. Provide personal protective equipment for trail work. 6. Comply with the financial requirements of Article V. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS agrees to: 1. Provide specification, supervision and evaluation for all projects. 2. Provide general orientation to park operations and NPS mission. 3. Provide primary emergency response for all incidents and /or accidents. 4. Assist with necessary internal park communications through the provision of radios. 5. Provide tools for use on projects. 6. Provide camp sites. 7. Provide financial assistance in accordance with Article V. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service will award a task agreement to the Student Conservation Association based on the following exception. (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; SCA is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon demonstrated factors, specifically past performance and experience with conservation crews completing similar project work, and other unique qualifications as outlined in this document. The National Park Service, Mount Rainier National Park, intends to award a Task Agreement (TA) to support youth development opportunities in the National Park Service through volunteer service and leadership experience at Mount Rainier National Park. The SCA Community Crews will work in with the Trail&amp;#8217;s Division within the Maintenance Division providing a wide range of experience and education in different skill sets. This task agreement will be written on the current cooperative agreement (P15AC00031 Mod 001) in place with the Student Conservation Association. STAUTORY AUTHORITY 54 U.S.C. 101702(a) provides that the National Park Service may enter into cooperative agreements that involve the transfer of National Park Service appropriated funds to State, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 6305 to carry out public purposes of National Park Service programs. </Description>

        <Description>The FY16 JPC-1/MSIS RealMETRX is seeking research to determine, define, and validate the best indicators (metrics/evaluation criteria) of training proficiency that are amenable to appraisal using medical simulation systems and are empirically linked to optimal provision of patient care. What are some of the best metrics and evaluation criteria to measure effective decision making of novice or even not-so novice healthcare personnel to better measure the multitude of variables and patient outcome contributors that could occur from the first healthcare encounter, to the time of discharge and even near-term follow-up (such as within the first 6 months)? What are the best metrics/evaluation criteria that could be used to (1) accelerate acquisition of maturity and experience level for novice and not-so novice healthcare personnel and (2) compare them to similar high-performing colleagues considered to be experienced within their discipline? It is expected that award recipients will use statistical approaches to determine the best metrics and evaluation criteria that will objectively assess and measure the transition from training using medical simulation systems to that of actual medical practice. It is expected that award recipients will concentrate their research within acute trauma care, critical care, and prolonged care. It is expected that the award recipients will consider healthcare scenarios and medical conditions in order to uncover common patient outcomes or training-sensitive outcome indicators versus those that are currently used to evaluate tasks, skills, and procedures. Metrics produced should include as many aspects of the continuum of care as possible and should focus on acute trauma care, critical care, and prolonged care. Military-relevant injuries and conditions should be considered, but should not constitute the entirety of the variables, metrics, and evaluation criteria. It is anticipated that many of these variables, metrics, and evaluation criteria will transcend across the military, Veterans Health Administration, academic, inpatient, outpatient clinics, rural healthcare settings, private and public hospitals, and international healthcare situations.</Description>

        <Description>The FY16 JPC-1/MSIS Medical Decision Aids - Predictive Markers (SimMarkers) is seeking research that improves healthcare professionals&amp;#8217; cognitive and performance skill acquisition or minimizes his/her skill decay. This research is seeking objective markers that could be inserted into a predictive model (one that has not been currently developed) to accurately and appropriately assess a healthcare professional&amp;#8217;s cognitive and performance status. These cognitive and performance-type markers must be evidence-based and need to align with the respective credentialing or certifying healthcare organization. These cognitive and performance-type markers must also align with regional, local, and organization-specific recommendations, guidelines, and standards, especially if they exceed the credentialing or certifying healthcare organization-specific recommendations, guidelines, and standards. It is anticipated that this research will minimize the use of data/information using hospital EHR and will not concentrate on psychomotor skills; current work sponsored by the DHP is already underway in those areas. It is anticipated that this research will uncover information that clearly delineates the cognitive training differences between training to competency versus training to proficiency, as defined by Kirkpatrick. It is anticipated that from this research there will be clear metrics/evaluation criteria that have been deconstructed that will discriminate between competency and proficiency. It is anticipated that from this research common environmental and/or behavioral factors will be able to be deconstructed to form metrics/evaluation criteria that could be used as markers that will assist in measuring cognitive skill acquisition and minimization of skill decay. This announcement is seeking alternate predictive markers, aside from information from an EHR or from use of currently available simulation systems that assess psychomotor skills. This announcement is seeking predictive markers that could be deconstructed into objective, or at least reliable, observational metrics and/or evaluation criteria that could eventually be inserted into computational models to select, train, sustain, and remediate healthcare professionals, initially at the entry-level healthcare team member. Eventually the long-term goal is that there will be computational models that could possibly be applicable to all healthcare providers, at any experience level. These markers should be task/procedure/skill agnostic, if at all possible, but need to provide enough detail and specifics to demonstrate, through a domain-specific proof of concept, that the markers indeed show some level of predictability. A pilot test in an entry-level medical domain-specific area is needed as an outcome of this research, in addition to the research information and evidence-based methodologies, to demonstrate feasibility of the skill acquisition, maintenance, or decay/degradation model. Linkage of data within the computational algorithms must also be demonstrated as a proof of concept.</Description>

        <Description>The BCRP Clinical Translational Research (CTR) Award is intended to promote significant improvements over current approaches to breast cancer prevention and therapy, such as studies that will prevent primary or recurrent breast cancer and studies that may result in a new treatment to prevent breast cancer progression to metastasis. The CTR Award supports research projects that are likely to have a major impact on breast cancer by applying promising research findings to patients with, or populations at risk for, breast cancer. Principal Investigators (PIs) and their collaborators may have originated projects in their laboratories that will form the basis for 1-2 years of advanced translational research leading to a prospective clinical trial to be conducted during this award period. Alternatively, PIs may leverage partnerships with industry. The ability to conduct the required translational research and early phase clinical trial during the award period must be demonstrated. Applications must include preliminary data and a solid rationale to support the feasibility of advancing novel translational research to a prospective clinical trial. Due to the short period for the advanced translational research phase, PIs must have already demonstrated proof of concept and efficacy in an in vivo system at the time of application submission. Applications also must include a clear experimental plan and a properly powered statistical plan to perform the clinical trial. Investigators must demonstrate availability of and access to an appropriate patient population that will support meaningful clinical outcomes.</Description>

        <Description>The current direction from the Director of the BLM is to utilize native species for re-vegetation of disturbed sites. In addition, there is recent emphasis placed on planting native species that will attract pollinator species without drawing them away from native species. The Seeds of Success (SOS) program has been collecting native seed in small quantities from around the state since 2009 to develop a seed bank for native seed source. The BLM and the Plant Material Center have not been able to develop a successful seed increase for forb species which would be attractive to pollinator species. Seeds developed through this program would be used as base seed for commercial nursery growers to develop larger quantities of desirable species it be included in future native seed mixes for re-vegetation projects for the public as well as BLM. </Description>

        <Description>The BCRP Impact Award supports research projects (from small- to large-scale) that specifically focus on scientific and clinical breast cancer issues, which, if successfully addressed, will revolutionize the understanding, prevention, and/or treatment of breast cancer and make major advances toward the goal of ending the disease. The BCRP particularly encourages applications that focus on poorly understood issues that are of critical significance in breast cancer, such as those related to prevention, susceptibility, recurrence, or metastasis. The proposed work must be based on sound overall research and fully supported by preliminary data and/or published reports. Impact: The most important aspect of the Impact Award is the potential of the proposed research to have an unprecedented impact on reducing breast cancer incidence, recurrence, and/or mortality. The research project may be from any discipline or combination of disciplines, including basic, translational, clinical (clinical trials are allowed), behavioral, and/or epidemiological research. The potential impact may be near-term or long-term, but it must be significant and non-incremental. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to clearly and explicitly articulate the potential impact on breast cancer and to convey its level of significance. Partnering PI Option: The Impact Award mechanism encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option under the Impact Award mechanism is structured to accommodate two PIs, who will each receive a separate award. One partner is identified as the Initiating PI and the other partner is identified as the Partnering PI. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute to the preparation of a single application. The collaborative partners may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each partner is expected to bring different strengths to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the collaborating investigators to describe how their combined expertise in the collaboration will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts.</Description>

        <Description>The Challenge Cost Share (CCS) Program was started in 1985 when Congress appropriated funding for partnership conservation projects to benefit wildlife. The CCS programs provides funding for the following types of fish and wildlife activities and projects: (1) research, monitoring and inventory of fish and wildlife resources; (2) implementation of habitat improvement projects; (3) providing for enhanced recreational experiences relating to fish and wildlife; (4) development and implementation of species conservation and recovery plans; and (5) environmental education. The Program maintains diverse collaborative partnerships with non-governmental organizations at the local level to advance fish and wildlife conservation. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has proposed to work to monitor fisheries populations and habitat (i.e. Gulkana king salmon, Delta River Arctic grayling, Tangle Lake&amp;apos;s lake trout, Gulkana steelhead, etc.) on both BLM and State of Alaska lands. In the past, the State of Alaska, Department of Fish &amp;amp; Game (ADF&amp;amp;G) has provided a well-established monitoring and assessment of fisheries resources. BLM has shared costs, field staff and expertise to actively manage fisheries resources on BLM managed lands and neighboring State of Alaska land. The ADF&amp;amp;G has conducted comprehensive, systematic, standardized basin-wide fish distribution and habitat inventories and have produced more than (14) published reports on BLM-managed fisheries resources within the Glennallen Field Office. The current proposal continues this effort. Comprehensive fish-distribution and population/abundance information is required for effective land use planning, conservation, and restoration to identify sensitive and important habitats. Bureau of Land Management plans such as the Gulkana Wild and Scenic River Management Plan and the East Alaska Resource Management Plan identify fisheries and fish habitat as Outstanding Remarkable Values and this is based in large part on the known fish population/abundance and distribution of fish within the watershed. Landscape planning efforts also rely heavily on knowledge of fish distributions and aquatic habitat characteristics and their spatial and temporal relationship to other resources and activities.</Description>

        <Description>Implementation of actions to meet management goals can require specialized training, experience and /or equipment. Each year thousands of acres are burned by wildfire in Alaska. Fire may alter the conditions such that other resources are threatened either in the short or long term and should be addressed immediately after the fire. In order to reduce impacts or prevent changes that may be irreversible it is desirable to address some fire effects very soon after the burn is contained. This may include the development of rehabilitation plans, engineering of remediation or protection projects, and implementation of planned activities to prevent undesirable degradation. Invasive species (terrestrial and aquatic) and other activities are increasingly affecting the natural landscape and should be addressed through integrated management pest plans (IPMP) which may be part of a fire rehabilitation plan or simply to address invasive species in other settings. Vegetation management aside from invasive species may assist with fire prevention (hazard fuels reduction), promote forest and land health, or provide information to support management decisions. Inventory and monitoring of vegetative resources may be necessary to plan treatments or future management of various resources in hundreds of watersheds across Alaska have been mined in the past or are currently being mined or proposed for future mining. Stream reclamation/restoration in Alaska is complex and has often failed to achieve stability goals within 10 years post construction. The protracted recovery periods and limited success are due in large part to the absence of baseline data needed for channel design and an over reliance on natural processes to facilitate recovery of disturbed streams. To enhance the probability of restoration success, baseline data on stream function and stream functional lift potential need to be gathered. In addition, regional hydraulic geometry curves need to be developed for Alaska&amp;#65533;s mining districts. Coupled with site specific baseline geomorphic data, these information can greatly enhance stream restoration success and the rehabilitation of fish and wildlife habitat. The testing and adoption of proven stream design techniques, such as Rosgen&amp;#65533;s Natural Channel Design, in Alaska is also essential to developing an effective approach to improving conditions with watersheds degraded by historic or ongoing placer mining.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Regional AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC), a component of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Part F AETC Program. The mission of the AETC Program is to increase the number of health care professionals who are educated to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage people living with HIV (PLWH), and to help prevent high-risk behaviors that lead to HIV transmission. Regional AETCs will provide education, training, consultation, and clinical decision support to health care providers, allied health professionals, and health care support staff, hereafter referred to as a group as health care professionals, who care for PLWH or at high risk of HIV. Training, education, and technical assistance will focus on developing the knowledge, skills, and behaviors of health care professionals within three competency areas: 1) Clinical Care; 2) Teamwork; and 3) Organization and Systems Management. Each Regional AETC will link experts in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of HIV disease to health care professionals and organizations that serve racial/ethnic minorities and other populations disproportionately affected by HIV. Experts will be linked to these health care providers through tailored education, clinical consultation, and technical assistance in an effort to integrate high quality, comprehensive care for those living with or affected by HIV. The overarching goal of the Regional AETCs is to improve the health outcomes of PLWH across the HIV care continuum. This funding opportunity announcement will support eight (8) regional centers tasked with serving all 50 states in the United States, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the six U.S. affiliated Pacific Jurisdictions. Program Goals The goals of the Regional AETCs are in alignment with the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS),[1] HIV Care Continuum Initiative,[2] the Affordable Care Act,[3] and the Minority AIDS Initiative. The goals of the Regional AETCs are to: 1) Increase the size and strengthen the skills of the current and novice HIV clinical workforce in the United States; 2) Improve outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum, including diagnosis, linkage, retention and viral suppression, in alignment with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, through training and technical assistance; and 3) Reduce HIV incidence by improving the achievement and maintenance of viral load suppression of PLWH. Program Requirements: Organizations funded under this program will be expected to keep their activities regional in scope, while also supporting the work of other Regional and National AETC programs. Successful applicants funded under this funding opportunity will be required to: 1) Complete a comprehensive needs assessment of HIV diagnosis, treatment, and prevention-related training needs in collaboration with other Federal Training Center Collaborative partners in the first 10-month budget. Recipients will be expected to collaborate with HRSA, Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part A and B recipients in their region, the AETC National Clinicians Consultation Center (NCCC) and the AETC National Evaluation Center (NEC) in the development of the needs assessment. 2) Train and provide technical assistance to health care professionals, interprofessional health teams, and health care organizations on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV disease, including opportunistic infections and other co-morbidities including hepatitis, noninfectious diseases associated with HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, and oral health that are consistent with the most recent U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Treatment Guidelines[4] and HRSA Guides for HIV/AIDS Clinical Care.[5] This training should be provided to all clinics in the region, with a priority to those clinics and clinicians providing little or no HIV care. 3) For established HIV care providers, Regional AETCs will be expected to focus their efforts on assisting providers with practice transformation to assist recipients to improve patient outcomes along the HIV care continuum by integrating principles of the patient-centered medical home model and integrated HIV care and behavioral health services. This may include increased collaboration between the jurisdictional health department and the medical provider in use of data to target interventions to improve outcomes. 4) Train the faculty of health professions schools, graduate departments, or other programs, to better equip them to teach their students to address the health care needs of PLWH through interprofessional education and collaborative practice. Partner with accredited schools and graduate departments or programs of medicine, nursing, dentistry, public health, allied health, pharmacy, and/or behavioral health to develop or enhance curricula, utilizing interprofessional team-based learning, to train faculty and build capacity to prepare future health care professionals to provide for the health care needs of PLWH. Particular attention will be given to minority-serving educational institutions. 5) Identify and disseminate models of care and effective practices that improve patient outcomes in various clinical settings, including RWHAP-funded clinics, community health centers, rural health clinics, and other primary care sites caring for PLWH. This includes dissemination of findings from the Special Projects of National Significance. 6) Create and support partnerships with health care organizations providing direct patient care at the local level, particularly Federally Qualified Health Centers that are not providing HIV care or need assistance in increasing their capacity to provide existing care. The purpose is to implement longitudinal relationships to transform clinical practice in alignment with the goals of the NHAS and as measured by progress along the HIV Care Continuum. The expected outcomes are high functioning health care organizations providing high quality comprehensive, coordinated care and treatment for PLWH. 7) Work collaboratively within the AETC Network, including the national components of the AETC Program (see Background for more information). Collaborations should include, but are not limited to, the development of joint curricula, joint needs assessments, national evaluation tools, joint training, and marketing. Participate as subject matter experts in curriculum development, as convened by the AETC National Coordinating Resource Center funded under a separate funding opportunity announcement (HRSA-15-033). Staffing It is expected that the applicant demonstrate capacity to fiscally manage a federally funded training program, including the capacity to develop a standardized method to manage and monitor contracts and subcontracts. At a minimum, applicants should have the following staff with experience and skills listed below: &amp;#183; Project Director: This individual should have the experience and ability to manage a federal grant award, provide oversight and direction to the grant program&amp;#8217;s activities, and ensure that the day-to-day operations of the regional AETC are conducted well. S/He should have prior experience with HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment programs. &amp;#183; Clinical Director: This individual should have experience caring for people living with HIV, including prescribing antiretroviral therapy, and also with provider training. S/He should be able to develop and review training content. Each Regional Partner is expected to have a Regional Partner Director. This individual should have the ability to manage receipt of funds from a federally funded grant award and should be involved, as requested, in activities planned by the Regional AETC Central Office. This individual should have prior experience in networking with service providers in the region, in order to form partnerships (if awarded). Ideally, the applicant&amp;#8217;s personnel and faculty should also reflect the diversity of health professions, including the gender and racial/ethnicities existing among both trainees and patients in the training service area. Target Audience The primary target audience for training funded by the Regional AETCs includes health care providers who care for PLWH and for people who are at high risk of HIV. These providers may not necessarily be HIV experts. Other target audiences include allied health professionals (medical case managers, social workers, and others) who assist PLWH to adhere to treatment recommendations; learn about and practice secondary prevention; and receive appropriate social support and other health service interventions and referrals.

The CTP Program may provide federal assistance, through a grant or cooperative agreement, to an eligible Cooperating Technical Partner (herein referred to as &amp;quot;CTP&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;grantee&amp;quot;) to perform various projects and activities that stimulate and support the ability of NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and NFIP-participating communities (as defined in 44 CFR Part 59.1) to continue their ongoing regulatory NFIP responsibilities as well as support the ability of States, communities and the public and private sector to mitigate flood risk.The CTP Program seeks to stimulate and enhance the existing capabilities of CTPs to increase local involvement in, and ownership of, the development and maintenance of flood risk data and products, such as the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other risk related products, as well as other support to advance the goals and objectives of the NFIP. Partnerships developed through FEMA&amp;apos;s CTP Program are in the best interest of State and local communities, the NFIP and the public.CTPs may be able to perform activities related to program management, technical risk analysis and mapping, and communication of flood risk hazard data and information. Only qualified partners of the CTP Program are eligible for federal assistance awards through the CTP Program. Recipients must:be a CTP (i.e., have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA HQ or a FEMA Regional Office)either be or represent a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good-standing, or a FEMA-approved non-profit agency whose primary mission supports the goals and objectives of the NFIP;have existing non-Federally funded processes and/or systems in place to support the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination and communication of flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping;have the capability to perform funded activities; demonstrate the ability to achieve the CTP Program performance metrics and provide timely and accurate reports to FEMA documenting performance and achievements; andwhen applicable, agree to perform work in the Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and update the activities within the MIP every 30 days in the Studies Workflow (and more frequently within the Revisions Workflow).CTPs are encouraged to work with FEMA in advance of the application to understand FEMA program priorities, objectives and measures, and to identify specific tasks to undertake. In support of program objectives, FEMA may provide technical assistance, training, and/or data to a CTP to enhance the activities within the project categories. Any funds FEMA provides through a grant or cooperative agreement to complete project activities are in addition to the leveraged resources and data which may be provided by the CTP to complete the tasks agreed upon. When awarded a grant or cooperative agreement through the CTP Program in support of program objectives and to advance program measures, the CTP must comply with the requirements outlined in this announcement, the terms and conditions of the award, as well as the Partnership Agreement and the associated Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement approved by FEMA.</Description>

        <Description>The DPA Title III objective of the Phase 1 effort is the development and production of an affordable and reliable modular, Next Generation Star Tracker Systems (NGSTS) that uses advanced domestically-produced Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) detectors, with a capability that is equal to, or better than the specifications of DPA Title III Advanced CMOS Capability Project (see the STELLAR spec). For this purpose, the US Government (USG) considers a modular NGSTS to be capable of meeting a range of capabilities (i.e., environments, sensitivities, update rates, etc.), for a range of space-borne Medium-Accuracy Star Trackers (MAST: 1-20 arcsec), with the potential to also meet High-Accuracy Star Trackers (HAST: &amp;lt;1 arcsec) specifications, for both commercial and USG space applications, all from a single basic system design. A MAST designed to target a majority of the global technical requirements with a common architecture and/or footprint, is considered to be the baseline for the modular NGSTS design. Customization of electronics, software, optics, detectors, structure, etc. from baseline design will be required to meet specific program requirements.</Description>

        <Description>The Women&amp;#8217;s Bureau (WB), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the Department, or we), announces the availability of approximately $1.25 million in grant funds authorized by 29 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 13 and the 2015 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, for the Women&amp;#8217;s Bureau Paid Leave Analysis grant program. This program is intended to support research and analysis needed to explore, develop, implement and/or improve paid family and medical leave programs at the State and municipal1 levels, as well as in U.S. Territories and Possessions and federally recognized Indian/Native American Tribes. Specifically, the research and analysis activities must fall into one or more of the following five categories: &amp;#8226; Statistical analysis, such as cost-benefit or actuarial studies; &amp;#8226; Feasibility analysis; &amp;#8226; Economic-impact analysis; &amp;#8226; Financing, eligibility and benefit modeling; and &amp;#8226; Education, outreach and marketing analysis for implementation purposes. To be eligible for funds under this grant program, an applicant MUST be a government entity from one of the following levels of government: State; County; City or Township; U.S. Territory or Possession; or federally recognized Indian/Native American Tribe. In addition, the applicant&amp;#8217;s jurisdiction MUST have an estimated population of at least 100,000 residents.2 Satisfaction of these criteria will be verified prior to award. Up to ten (10) grants of no more than $250,000 each will be awarded. Selection of grantees will be determined based on the strength of the proposal and on other factors, such as the geographic distribution of funds. Applicants must: &amp;#8226; Present a clear description of the research and analysis activities they intend to conduct and identify the anticipated deliverables from such activities; &amp;#8226; Explain how such activities and deliverables will advance their efforts to explore, develop, implement and/or improve a paid family and medical leave program within their jurisdiction; &amp;#8226; Provide an estimate as to the number of individuals potentially eligible to benefit from the program under study; and &amp;#8226; Outline a solid financial infrastructure that demonstrates proper resource management. Applicants must also commit to sharing any knowledge and promising practices gleaned from their research and analysis with non-participating jurisdictions at forthcoming events. Finally, the Department is committed to producing strong evidence on the effectiveness of its grant programs and full participation (by grantee and any sub-grantees or sub-contractors) in any evaluation initiated by the Department is a condition of all grant awards. </Description>

        <Description>The Cooperating Technical Partners Program (CTP Program) exists to strengthen and increase the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through fostering strong Federal, State, Tribal, regional and local partnerships for the purposes of reducing flood losses and promoting community resiliency. The CTP Program may provide federal assistance, through a grant or cooperative agreement, to an eligible Cooperating Technical Partner (herein referred to as &amp;quot;CTP&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;grantee&amp;quot;) to perform various projects and activities that stimulate and support the ability of NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and NFIP-participating communities (as defined in 44 CFR Part 59.1) to continue their ongoing regulatory NFIP responsibilities as well as support the ability of States, communities and the public and private sector to mitigate flood risk.The CTP Program seeks to stimulate and enhance the existing capabilities of CTPs to increase local involvement in, and ownership of, the development and maintenance of flood risk data and products, such as the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other risk related products, as well as other support to advance the goals and objectives of the NFIP. Partnerships developed through FEMA&amp;apos;s CTP Program are in the best interest of State and local communities, the NFIP and the public.CTPs may be able to perform activities related to program management, technical risk analysis and mapping, and communication of flood risk hazard data and information. Only qualified partners of the CTP Program are eligible for federal assistance awards through the CTP Program. Recipients must:be a CTP (i.e., have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA HQ or a FEMA Regional Office)either be or represent a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good-standing, or a FEMA-approved non-profit agency whose primary mission supports the goals and objectives of the NFIP;have existing non-Federally funded processes and/or systems in place to support the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination and communication of flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping;have the capability to perform funded activities; demonstrate the ability to achieve the CTP Program performance metrics and provide timely and accurate reports to FEMA documenting performance and achievements; andwhen applicable, agree to perform work in the Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and update the activities within the MIP every 30 days in the Studies Workflow (and more frequently within the Revisions Workflow).CTPs are encouraged to work with FEMA in advance of the application to understand FEMA program priorities, objectives and measures, and to identify specific tasks to undertake. In support of program objectives, FEMA may provide technical assistance, training, and/or data to a CTP to enhance the activities within the project categories. Any funds FEMA provides through a grant or cooperative agreement to complete project activities are in addition to the leveraged resources and data which may be provided by the CTP to complete the tasks agreed upon. When awarded a grant or cooperative agreement through the CTP Program in support of program objectives and to advance program measures, the CTP must comply with the requirements outlined in this announcement, the terms and conditions of the award, as well as the Partnership Agreement and the associated Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement approved by FEMA.</Description>

        <Description>The Cooperating Technical Partners Program (CTP Program) exists to strengthen and increase the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through fostering strong Federal, State, Tribal, regional and local partnerships for the purposes of reducing flood losses and promoting community resiliency. The CTP Program may provide federal assistance, through a grant or cooperative agreement, to an eligible Cooperating Technical Partner (herein referred to as &amp;quot;CTP&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;grantee&amp;quot;) to perform various projects and activities that stimulate and support the ability of NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and NFIP-participating communities (as defined in 44 CFR Part 59.1) to continue their ongoing regulatory NFIP responsibilities as well as support the ability of States, communities and the public and private sector to mitigate flood risk.The CTP Program seeks to stimulate and enhance the existing capabilities of CTPs to increase local involvement in, and ownership of, the development and maintenance of flood risk data and products, such as the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other risk related products, as well as other support to advance the goals and objectives of the NFIP. Partnerships developed through FEMA&amp;apos;s CTP Program are in the best interest of State and local communities, the NFIP and the public.CTPs may be able to perform activities related to program management, technical risk analysis and mapping, and communication of flood risk hazard data and information. Only qualified partners of the CTP Program are eligible for federal assistance awards through the CTP Program. Recipients must:be a CTP (i.e., have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA HQ or a FEMA Regional Office)either be or represent a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good-standing, or a FEMA-approved non-profit agency whose primary mission supports the goals and objectives of the NFIP;have existing non-Federally funded processes and/or systems in place to support the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination and communication of flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping;have the capability to perform funded activities; demonstrate the ability to achieve the CTP Program performance metrics and provide timely and accurate reports to FEMA documenting performance and achievements; andwhen applicable, agree to perform work in the Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and update the activities within the MIP every 30 days in the Studies Workflow (and more frequently within the Revisions Workflow).CTPs are encouraged to work with FEMA in advance of the application to understand FEMA program priorities, objectives and measures, and to identify specific tasks to undertake. In support of program objectives, FEMA may provide technical assistance, training, and/or data to a CTP to enhance the activities within the project categories.

        <Description> This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AC00995 Project Title Subsistence Resource Meetings Recipient Maniilaq Association Total Anticipated Award Amount 100,000 Cost Share 0 Anticipated Length of Agreement 3 years Anticipated Period of Performance 3 years Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 3119 CFDA # and Title 15.946, Cultural Resources Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Unique Qualifications Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW Due to difficulties in communications, logistics, and travel with the tribal members of the Subsistence Resource Commission, this cooperative agreement is necessary to foster better participation. The Subsistence Resource Commission (SRC) meetings are conducted to enhance communication of any cultural and subsistence use issues on park lands. During past SRC meetings, it was challenging for the NPS to provide the means for paying the travel of SRC members. Invitational travel proved ineffective because SRC members are from tribal communities and generally do not engage in modem financial management (i.e. no bank accounts for direct deposit for travel reimbursement). This created a hardship for some SRC members who could not afford to pay for meeting travel up front and wait to be reimbursed. Subsequently, lower participation and attendance by at SRC meetings occurred. Maniilaq has an existing relationship with the SRC tribal members and can communicate the importance of such meetings, and promote participation by organizing travel for the SRC members. The forecasted result would be greater participation and attendance at SRC meetings, which will allow for those communities to better understand and manage the natural resources in regards to subsistence. Legislative justification includes 16 U.S.C. 3119 and 16 U.S.C. 3118. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Provide trained staff to communicate with the non-federal Subsistence Resource Commission (SRC) members to coordinate travel and logistics for SRC meetings with the NPS, including a full time supervisor competent in the kind of work required to complete travel and other administrative logistics. The supervisor shall be responsible for supervising staff, for controlling how the work is to be accomplished, and ensuring work is completed in a timely fashion. 2. Provide all travel and transportation arrangements including travel, lodging, and M&amp;amp;IE to the nonfederal SRC members attending the meetings. 3. Handle all administrative records required for their purposes to perform #1 and #2 above. 4. Pay all administrative and operating expenses for staff to coordinate travel to SRC meetings and request reimbursement from the NPS for those expenses in the budget. 5. Submit a summary report after each meeting. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT 1. Assign an appropriate NPS employee to monitor the SRC meetings in order to respond to questions about the nature and goals of activities conducted, and act as an on site liaision among the parties to provide technical logistics, conduct orientations as necessary and provide guidance on the NPS goals and mission. 2. Provide a meeting place, including facility support, to host SRC meetings and for Maniilaq to coordinate travel. 3. Provide Maniilaq any educational opportunities regarding SRC meetings and topics. 4. Assist the partner with information needed for their file documentation. 5. The NPS will lead the SRC meetings and discuss subsistence and resource topics.

ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number P15AS01001 Project Title Project Title: Using GIS and SAR imagery to assess fish and yellow-billed loon habitat in the Arctic Network of Alaska Parklands (Bering Land Bridge National Preserve) Recipient University of Alaska Fairbanks Principle Investigator / Program Manager Dr. Christopher Arp Research Assistant Professor, Water and Environmental Research Center University of Alaska Fairbanks Institute of Northern Engineering 467 Duckering Bldg., P.O. Box 5860 Fairbanks, Alaska 99775-5860 Phone: 907-474-2783 Fax: 907-474-7041 Email: cdarp@alaska.edu Total Anticipated Award Amount $100,000 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? New Award Anticipated Period of Performance July 1, 2015 - December 31, 2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702; 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#8211; Resources of the National Park System Single Source Justification Criteria Cited 4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact Lois Dalle-Molle OVERVIEW Data on fish species distributions across the vast Arctic parklands are scant. In massive, remote and inaccessible parklands, it is cost-prohibitive to conduct comprehensive, landscape-scale fish sampling in lakes using traditional fisheries techniques. We will collect data on potential fish species distributions using remote sensing techniques to address this data gap on fisheries resources across the vast Arctic Network of Alaska Parklands or ARCN ( specifically, in Bering Land Bridge National Preserve). Fish distributions are an important determinant for yellow-billed loon nest-site selection and other piscivorous water birds. The yellow-billed loon is a rare, international species of concern dependent on fish resources and recently considered for listing under the Endangered Species Act (but was not listed) that appears to be concentrated in particular localities in the arctic with rich fish resources. Lakes located in ARCN and the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) are internationally recognized as key yellow-billed loon regions in arctic Alaska. To address this fisheries data gap, the use of GIS techniques, remote sensing data such as high-resolution satellite imagery, recently acquired high-resolution digital terrain models, spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, ice-growth models and weather station data will be used to develop a geospatial database of lake type, connectivity, depth, and flood regimes to identify potential overwintering fish habitats that remain partially unfrozen throughout the year to support fish populations. This will help us to target potentially overwintering areas important for fish for additional eDNA and future intensive fish and contaminants sampling. Dr. Christopher Arp at the University of Alaska Fairbanks using these techniques with his collaborators to assess fish distributions important for yellow-billed loons and other waterbird species through the Fish Caf&amp;#233; Project at Fish Creek in the NPR-A with the Bureau of Land Management. Additional data from contiguous arctic parklands will benefit Dr. Arp and the Fish Caf&amp;#233; Project by expanding the scope of their work to examine and compare potential overwintering fish habitats across arctic Alaska. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN We will combine SAR imagery with other remotely sensed datasets from NPS ARCN, UAF and BLM to develop a GIS database that will help address data gaps in potential fish species richness and distribution in these areas. This is a first step toward integrating fish data from parklands into the UAF Fish Caf&amp;#233; Project at NPR-A for mapping freshwater fish distributions across arctic Alaska. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) agrees to: 1. Lead the compilation of climate station data and development of ice-growth models that will help guide SAR image selection and processing 2. Contribute to the development of fish-centric lake-based classification 3. Contribute to the analysis of remotely sensed imagery 4. Assist NPS with the synthesis of results and writing of reports and manuscript 5. Assist NPS with public presentations on the project 6. Assist with the development of the outreach curriculum with NPS 7. Assist NPS with development of the outreach curriculum module, public presentations and fact sheet on freshwater fish NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Provide funding for the project (PMIS 186815) 2. Establish the CESU agreement with Dr. Chris Arp at UAF to initiate project work in March, 2015 3. Contribute yellow-billed loon and fish occurrence data from BELA 4. Assist UAF with the development of the outreach curriculum with Education Specialist Maria Berger (FAPLIC) 5. Assist UAF with public presentations on the results and help to develop fact sheet on freshwater fish and resource brief on yellow-billed loons 6. Assist UAF with writing the annual and final accomplishment reports and entering them into PMIS 7. Assist UAF with writing the manuscript 8. Coordinate data management and archiving of the imagery and GIS layer at NPS with BELA data manager, Scott Miller SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications Single Source Justification: The University of Alaska (UAF) Fish Caf&amp;#233; Team has been conducting ongoing remote sensing research on fisheries resources and lake habitats for several years in arctic Alaska in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A). The NPR-A is adjacent to the NPS Arctic Network of Alaska Parklands. The UAF Fish Caf&amp;#233; Team&amp;apos;s technical expertise, extensive experience with the progressive remote sensing methods on fish and previous winter work in arctic Alaska makes them uniquely qualified to conduct this work. It is necessary for NPS to join their partnership to increase the scope of their ongoing research across arctic Alaska and address this critical data gap in fisheries information. </Description>

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development in Bangladesh (USAID/Bangladesh) is seeking applications for a three year Cooperative Agreement from qualified U.S. and non-U.S. organizations to implement an activity entitled &amp;#8220;USAID Adolescent Health Skills Strengthening Activity&amp;#8221;. This activity is expected to improve the health and well-being of Bangladeshi adolescents by improving community attitudes regarding the delay of early marriage and by improving access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and other health information and services. The goal of the activity is to empower female and male adolescents to advocate for their own needs and desires in order to delay marriage until at least ages 18 and 21, the legal marriage age for girls and boys respectively, and delay first birth until the age of 20 for girls. The expectation is that this will improve the health and well-being of girls and boys, especially girls as they develop into adults and prepare for motherhood; and ultimately, enable healthier babies to be born to healthier mothers. The activity will achieve two inter-related intermediate results (IRs): &amp;#9679; IR1: Increased skills capacity and community support for unmarried adolescents. &amp;#9679; IR2: Increased provision and utilization of SRH and other health information and services. </Description>

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number P15AS00684 Project Title Traditional Knowledge of the Native People of Chukotka About Pacific Walrus and Dialogue Across the Bering Strait on Walrus-Related Concerns Recipient ESKIMO WALRUS COMMISSION, KAWERAK, INC. Principle Investigator / Program Manager Vera Metcalf Director Eskimo Walrus Commission Total Anticipated Award Amount $36,625 Cost Share none New Award or Continuation? New Anticipated Period of Performance June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 31 U.S.C. 6305 CFDA # and Title 15.946-Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact Katerina Wessels OVERVIEW This project would allow for dialogue to occur between walrus hunters, researchers, and managers from Alaska and Chukotka on issues affecting the Pacific Walrus population, such as climate change and increased ship traffic in the Bering Strait region. This discussion would result in recommendations and plans of action from stakeholders on how to address these concerns. Participation in these discussions would occur during workshops held in Nome and Chukotka, as well as through outreach efforts to walrus-dependent communities throughout the Bering Strait to solicit feedback on the issues at hand. The other component of this project is the gathering of Traditional Ecological Knowledge related to walrus from four Chukchi communities and one Yupik community in Chukotka. Through this effort, a report will be published detailing the TEK gathered, along with a Chukchi/Yupik Walrus Dictionary. These publications will be delivered to the participating communities for their use in sustaining cultural knowledge, and will be made available for informational purposes to other Bering Strait communities as well. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The Eskimo Walrus Commission, Kawerak, Inc. and the NPS Shared Beringia Project will work cooperatively together on achieving the goals and objectives of the project in accordance to the following plan. Year One: 2015 - 2016 Due Dates Establish work agreements with Russian counterparts Summer 2015 Conduct pilot studies in one or two Chukotkan communities Summer 2015 Complete all preparations and logistics for international travel of the Chukotkan workshop participants Summer &amp;#8211; Early Fall 2015 Convene a workshop in Nome October 2015 Establish priorities and refine strategies and methods for expanding walrus research Fall &amp;#8211; Winter 2015-16 Year One: Status report to NPS (90 days after end of agreement period) Year Two: 2016-2017 Due Dates Develop informational pamphlets and comment forms January 2016 Distribute the pamphlets and comment forms to the communities Winter 2016 Presentation at the Beringia Days conference or any other public presentation on the project Summer &amp;#8211; Fall 2016 Begin gathering TEK data and compiling into the &amp;#8220;Walrus Dictionary&amp;#8221; Throughout the year Process the results of collected TEK data Winter 2016-2017 Year Two: Status report to NPS (90 days after end of agreement period) Year three: 2017-2018 Due Dates Convene a workshop in Chukotka Fall 2017 Process the results of collected TEK data Spring-Fall 2017 Finish compiling TEK data into the &amp;#8220;Walrus Dictionary&amp;#8221; and contract for editing and layout Winter-Spring 2018 Prepare final report Spring 2018 Year Three: Final report to NPS FINAL REPORT, FINAL FINANCIAL REPORT (90 days after end of agreement period) RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The following activities will be carried out by the recipient: 1. Conduct pilot studies in one or two Chukotkan communities in summer of 2015 to test TEK research program/methods; 2. Convene a workshop in Nome (Year 1) attended by Chukotkan and Alaskan researchers, managers, and walrus hunters to review previous walrus-related TEK projects conducted in the region and priorities/strategies for expanding this research. In addition to allowing for the establishment of a TEK research strategy, this workshop would be the first of two meetings between Chukotkan and Alaskan stakeholders to discuss Arctic shipping lanes, sea ice retreat, and other climate change issues affecting walrus. This project would support travel for Chukotkan representatives to Nome, ideally including representation from several key Native organizations. 3. Document concerns of Chukotkan and Alaskan walrus researchers and hunters in a manner that can provide bilateral opportunities to respond to conservation needs of the Pacific walrus and its environment (Years 1, 2, and 3). 4. Document the importance of traditional and historical use of walrus, the relationship between people and walrus, the utilization of walrus, walrus behaviors, habitats, and other TEK about walrus through consultation with local experts from selected Chukchi communities and one Yupik community in Chukotka (Years 2 and 3). 5. Compile TEK gathered through this project into a &amp;apos;Walrus Dictionary,&amp;apos; with terms and phrases associated with walrus being translated into Chukchi, Yupik, Russian, and English, and including illustrations for more effective presentation of information (Years 2 and 3). 6. Convene a workshop in Chukotka (Year 3) attended by both Alaskan and Chukotkan researchers, managers, and walrus hunters to discuss research conducted throughout the span of the project, and to provide another opportunity for dialogue on changes affecting walrus populations such as increased ship traffic, sea ice conditions, and other climate change impacts that have occurred since the Year 1 workshop in Nome. This project would support the travel of Alaskan representatives, ideally including representation from several key organizations: the Eskimo Walrus Commission and the Native Villages of Gambell and Savoonga. 7. Report to Bering Strait communities the results of workshop discussions on climate change concerns affecting walrus and TEK research conducted in Chukotkan communities (Year 3). NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Act as liaison with the partner and possible individuals or groups in the Beringia region that may be interested in the Traditional Knowledge of the Native People of Chukotka About Pacific Walrus and Dialogue Across the Bering Strait on Walrus-Related Concerns. 2. Act as a liaison when needed to facilitate international travel logistics and enhance communication. NPS will provide translation and interpretation when necessary through our network of translators, as well as bilingual staff members, and will allow the use of government simultaneous translation equipment free of charge on an as needed bases. 3. To the extent possible, assist with organizing workshops and trainings, assist making agreements on using government housing, and other logistical support. 4. Provide technical assistance and safety briefings related to project and geographic location. 5. Utilize the Beringia Program&amp;#8217;s contacts in Alaska and Russia (especially in Native communities) to inform communities and organizations about the project. Assist with the dissemination of information working with local park units to post information, advertise workshops, and share project activities and outcome on the NPS Shared Beringian Heritage Program website and Alaska National Parks Facebook page. 6. Use the network of contacts, the program website, and the Alaska National Parks Facebook page to share information from the final and interim reports with the public, as well as with targeted audiences through the development of a project-specific distribution plan. First and foremost it will be targeted toward the communities in the Bering Strait region. 7. Assign the NPS Shared Beringian Heritage Program staff as the Agreements Technical Representative (ATR) for the administration of this Cooperative Agreement.

The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications Single Source Justification Description: The cooperator on this project, the Eskimo Walrus Commission (EWC), was created in 1978 by Kawerak, Inc. of Nome, and is the organization representing Alaska&amp;apos;s coastal walrus hunting communities. Initially formed as a consortium of Native hunters, the EWC is a recognized statewide entity working on resource co-management issues, specifically regarding walrus, on behalf of Alaska Natives. The population of Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) on the continental shelf waters of the Bering and Chukchi seas ranges across international boundaries of the United States and Russia. This creates a common interest between both nations in ensuring the continued viability of the Pacific walrus population in a changing environment. The Pacific walrus population is a valuable resource to coastal Natives in Alaska and Chukotka. Walrus continues to be an essential cultural, natural, and subsistence resource to Alaskan coastal St. Lawrence Island Yupik, Central Yup&amp;#8217;ik and I&amp;#241;upiaq communities. The past experience of the Eskimo Walrus Commission in undertaking projects based in Alaskan communities and in Chukotka has provided them with valuable experience of working in this remote environment. The EWC previous work, gained expertise, and established cultural contacts in the area uniquely qualify them to carry out this project. </Description>

        <Description> This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00993 Project Title Detection and avoidance of whales by cruise ships in Glacier Bay National Park Recipient University of Montana Total Anticipated Award Amount $300,000 Cost Share 0 Anticipated Length of Agreement 3 Years Anticipated Period of Performance 3 Years Award Instrument Task Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702 CFDA # and Title 15.945- Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#8211; Resources of the National Park System Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Unique Qualifications Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW This project will build on an existing relationship between the NPS and the University of Montana focusing on the dynamics of cruise ships and humpback whales in Glacier Bay National Park. Together, this project addresses a fundamental public purpose as it seeks to utilize science for better understanding mitigating factors that will support both the conservation and visitor use mandates of the NPS. The student will also directly interact with cruise operators and cruise ship pilots, and will thus learn first-hand how the NPS manages concession operations when faced with the difficult decisions regarding mitigating any activities that may impact marine resources, such as whales, while still providing for appropriate opportunities for use and enjoyment of parks such as by cruise ships. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The University of Montana will: 1. Collaboratively undertake a project titled &amp;#8220;Detection and avoidance of whales by cruise ships in Glacier Bay National Park&amp;#8221; as described in this document. 2. Spearhead the recruitment of a MS student who will collect data on whales in Glacier Bay necessary to better understand the process and observer uncertainty associated with whale avoidance measures. 3. Generate a study plan for the project. It is expected that the MS student will write a multi-chapter Master&amp;#8217;s thesis focusing different chapters on different aspects of detection and avoidance. 4. Travel to Juneau during July 2015 (or on a mutually agreed data) to discuss project and then travel (with the NPS PI) to Glacier Bay and participate in a series of cruises necessary to test methods for recording whale behavior while on a ship. This effort will constitute a pilot study to refine methods and approaches most appropriate for collecting data. NPS PI will arrange the dates for the cruises. UM student and NPS PI will be transported aboard an NPS Ranger boat to spend the day on board several Holland America ship going over data collection and data archiving protocols. The trip to Alaska will also include a day in Juneau to discuss protocol and project objectives. 5. Implement mutually agreed protocols for data collection, data entry, and data archive. These protocols will be reviewed during meetings during the Fall of 2015, and updated as needed throughout the project. Data collection protocols will include a detailed &amp;#8216;methodological&amp;#8217; approach, reflecting a methods section for MS Thesis chapters. 6. Work with the NPS PI to coordinate cruise schedule for observations and surveys during the summer of 2016, implementing the now-refined protocols for data collection. 7. Oversee maintenance and proper handling and storage of equipment used throughout the project. 8. Work with NPS PI to help coordinate and identify housing options for student while the student is in Alaska. 9. Collaborate with the ATR to ensure that the conduct of the project complies with the &amp;#8220;NPS Interim Guidance Document Governing Code of Conduct, Peer Review, and Information Quality Correction for National Park Service Cultural and Natural Resource Disciplines,&amp;#8221; and any and all subsequent guidance issued by the NPS Director to replace this interim document. 10. Deliver to the NPS at the end of each summer copies of all &amp;#8216;raw&amp;#8217; and processed data collected as part of this project including but not limited to any GIS data, relevant files within ArcGIS, Access database files or however the data are processed (Excel, txt or other formats), and (final) R script used for analysis. Data provided will be checked and edited for accuracy and have corresponding metadata. 11. Spearhead development of statistical modeling and analytical tools necessary and appropriate to meet objectives. Analysis of data will be focused on generating insights to the observation and process uncertainty, the specific questions of which will be developed jointly between the NPS and UM. Specific modeling approaches will be outlined in the study plan. 12. Produce an end of year report summarizing general findings, effort, and results. Coordinate with NPS any necessary changes to protocol(s). 13. Collaborate with the ATR as co-author on any published or formally presented material developed or derived from this Task Agreement. It is expected that this effort will produce two manuscripts, reflecting two components of whale detection listed above, that will be submitted for publication to peer-reviewed scientific journals. 14. Collaborate with the NPS, as appropriate, in a sixty-day wrap-up period following the due date of the last project product. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT The NPS will: 1. Provide financial assistance to the UM as provided in Article II. 2. Inform the UM PI and student of the specific activities required to comply with the &amp;#8220;NPS Interim Guidance Document Governing Code of Conduct, Peer Review, and Information Quality Correction for National Park Service Cultural and Natural Resource Disciplines,&amp;#8221; and any and all subsequent guidance issued by the NPS Director to replace this interim document. 3. Provide the UM with equipment necessary for carrying out field work including multiple GPS units, batteries, binoculars, a Personal Flotation Device (PFD), voice-activated recorders (and associated accessories) and water proof carrying case. Maintenance and upkeep of this equipment during the field season will be the responsibility of the UM. 4. Schedule logistics for a several days of training with UM PI, and student in Glacier Bay in July 2015 or within 30 days of signing agreement. Coordinate with GLBA Interpretation and Concessions Divisions to insure proper requests and security waivers are provided for the student to board cruise ships with NPS PI. 5. Mutually work with the UM on preparation and review of a detailed study plan that identifies schedule, management-relevant questions, appropriate background studies, and statistical and modeling approaches to apply to the data. 6. Provide the UM with copies of all previous years data collected as part of the project that may help facilitate development and refinement of analyses. 7. Serve on graduate student committee to insure collaboration and application of management-relevant questions throughout project. 8. Travel to UM for a student committee meeting at least once per academic year for consultation, planning, and discussion on project protocols, changes, success, and analysis progress. 9. Fully acknowledge the UM in any published or formally presented material developed or derived from this Task Agreement. 10. Collaborate with the UM, as appropriate, in a sixty-day wrap-up period following the due date of last project product.

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number P15AS00797 Project Title Changing Tides &amp;#8211; Bivalve Bioassay and Analysis Component Recipient Alaska SeaLife Center Principle Investigator / Program Manager Tuula Hollmen Principal Investigator Total Anticipated Award Amount $130,000.00 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? New Anticipated Period of Performance 07/20/2015 through 09/30/2018 Award Instrument Task Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Changing Tides &amp;#8211; Bivalve Bioassay and Analysis Component Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW This project is a critical component of a larger project, &amp;#8220;Changing Tides,&amp;#8221; which seeks to identify causal relationships between marine intertidal invertebrate (MII) health, visitor use, and brown bear physiology. &amp;#8220;Changing Tides&amp;#8221; will increase understanding of how anthropogenic stressors may affect both marine intertidal invertebrates (MII) and bear population persistence at multiple spatial and temporal scales. This project will examine the development of a monitoring tool that uses bioassays to link changing ocean conditions directly to food web dynamics. This will make a significant contribution to the scientific understanding of coastal ecosystems. This project is to complete bioassay analyses and assess select bivalve species&amp;#8217; response to environmental perturbations. These measurements will allow comparison of the health of the clam or mussel populations at different sites, assess their responses and sensitivity to environmental stressors (changes in temperature, pH, contaminant levels), and their energetic value as bear prey. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The public purpose for this agreement is to fund a University of Alaska, Fairbanks post-doctoral fellow stationed at the Alaska SeaLife Center, researching the suitability of clams, mussels and other marine invertebrates to serve as indicators of ecological condition. The University of Alaska Fairbanks is a Land, Sea and Space Grant university and an international center for research, education, and the arts. UAF lists as one of their core themes &amp;quot;Research: To create and disseminate new knowledge, insight, technology, artistic and scholarly works.&amp;quot; The Alaska SeaLife Center&amp;apos;s mission is to generate scientific knowledge to promote understanding and stewardship of Alaska&amp;apos;s marine ecosystems. This project assists both the UAF and the ASLC in accomplishing their missions. The bivalve populations that will be sampled in this project are part of the nearshore food web in the marine system that begins with kelps and algaes and culminates in feeding higher trophic level vertebrates such as bears, sea otters, sea duck, shorebirds and other fauna. It is a collaboration between the Alaska SeaLife Center, USGS, Washington State University and the National Park Service. The techniques developed from the work at the Alaska SeaLife Center will be used in the larger &amp;#8220;Changing Tides&amp;#8221; project. Finally, this research is supporting the efforts of the GulfWatch Alaska program, a multi-agency group responsible for the long term monitoring of resources affected by the Exxon Valdez oil spill. GulfWatch Alaska includes several federal and state agencies including NPS, as well as universities. A final report, several peer reviewed journal articles and an Alaska Park Science article will be produced collaboratively that focus on the importance and vulnerability of intertidal invertebrates, way intertidal invertebrates should be monitored and make recommendations for the timing and distribution of bear viewing and clam harvesting activities. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Alaska SeaLife Center will provide expertise in the field of bioassay analyses and aquaculture methods; provide all lab analyses and interpretation of results from results; participate in field collections both for specimens for analysis as well as for documenting species distribution and composition; and assign a post-doc to assist in sample collection, processing, data analysis and interpretation. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: The National Park Service will with ASLC on all aspects of this project related to marine intertidal invertebrates; provide funding for ASLC to purchase necessary sampling equipment for field collections and lab supplies; and provide funding to complete the analyses of samples collected. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications Single Source Justification Description: An integral component of the Changing Tides project is a monitoring tool that uses bioassays to link changing ocean conditions directly to food web dynamics. This will make a significant contribution to the scientific understanding and management decision-making within coastal National Parks. The ASLC developed the techniques for bioassays that will be used in this project. No one else has used these techniques. This work is new and unique. The previous work is not fully published and other researchers would lag significantly behind the progress ASLC has made in this field. The techniques to be used were developed expressly for this project in the funded project &amp;quot;Transport conditions and care of razor clams for environmental condition assessment,&amp;quot; agreement P14AC01034. In addition, the same personnel that developed these techniques will be performing the work in this project. This is critical because the continuity of expertise specific to bioassays of mussel and bivalve species of the area is essential to credible data analysis and interpretation of the results in this project. In addition, the specimens necessary to conduct bioassay work must be transported and arrive alive at the facility where the tests will be conducted. The ASLC is more accessible than most other facilities because specimens can be driven straight from Homer to the ASLC in a few hours. Institutions farther afield increase the risk that the specimens will die in transport. Therefore the ASLC is uniquely qualified to conduct the work. </Description>

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number P15AC00994 Project Title Hunters, Trappers, Miners, and Homesteaders: An Ethnographic Overview and Assessment Recipient University of Alaska Fairbanks Principle Investigator / Program Manager Leslie McCartney, Principal Investigator Curator of Oral History, University of Alaska Fairbanks Andrew M. Gray, Associate Director, Office of Grants and Contracts Administration, University of Alaska Fairbanks Total Anticipated Award Amount $53,000 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? Continuation Anticipated Period of Performance 08/01/2015 through 12/31/2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC Section 100703 54 USC Section 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#8211; Resources of the National Park System (CESU) Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS ATR Point of Contact Barbara Cellarius OVERVIEW The primary objective of this project is to develop a written report that documents the culture and traditions of non-native groups and communities traditionally associated with the park. &amp;#8220;Hunters, Trappers, Miners, and Homesteaders: An Ethnographic Overview and Assessment&amp;#8221; will document existing ethnographic literature and related information (e.g., journals, audio recordings, photos) pertaining to the study area. Using an existing annotated bibliography provided by National Park Service (NPS) as a starting point, the cooperator will compile a narrative overview about the non-native communities and occupational groups traditionally associated with the park and engaged in the use of park resources or occupying lands in what is now Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST). These communities and occupational groups include, but are not limited to, small-scale miners, hunting guides, trappers, and homesteaders. The study will assess the completeness of the ethnographic record and recommend areas of future research to address identified data gaps. The final product will include a listing of bibliographic references and locations of relevant collections. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN NPS and the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Oral History Program will collaboratively undertake the project. This work will draw upon existing documentation and oral history recordings along with between four to six new oral history interviews to produce an ethnographic overview of non-native communities associated with WRST. The cooperator will be responsible for finding, analyzing, and collating existing archival, published, and non-published materials. New oral history interviews will be conducted and video and/or audio recorded to contextualize written materials and suggest future research needs. NPS will be involved in making decisions about project management, including identifying data gaps and developing a research strategy to fill those gaps. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The University of Alaska Fairbanks will participate in numerous tasks for this project, including: 1. In consultation with the ATR, identify data gaps in the existing literatures and propose, as needed, a plan for conducting new oral history interviews, as well as other types of research that will allow the satisfactory filling of these gaps. 2. Conduct four to six oral history interviews that will fill any gaps identified in the Annotated Bibliography. 3. Prepare a draft outline for the Ethnographic Overview and Assessment. 4. Produce the draft text of the Ethnographic Overview and Assessment, which integrates published, archival, and interview data into a single, thematic document and submit as an electronic document to NPS staff for review and editorial comment. 5. Identify photographs and other illustrations to illustrate the final report and ensure that permission to reproduce them is obtained. 6. Incorporate comments received from National Park Service into the draft document developed during Phase I to produce the final text of Ethnographic Overview and Assessment. 7. Layout the final report, including all graphics, tables, and other illustrations, and provide print ready digital copy on CD or Flash drive and submit as an electronic document to NPS staff for review and comment. 8. Revise the final report as needed in response to NPS comments and submit the final electronic document to NPS. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Providing NPS policy direction and review, anthropological expertise, and assistance in accessing NPS archives and planning documents. 2. Reviewing all work as it progresses. Adjustments to protocol, interview subjects, scheduling, and subject matter may be discussed and implemented as necessary as project proceeds. 3. Participating in oral history interviews, as well as analysis and writing as needed throughout the project and if available. 4. Providing comments on the draft documents in a timely fashion. 5. Collaborating with the cooperator on identifying appropriate illustrations to incorporate into the final report. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity. This project continues cooperation between the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve to document the stories of people with traditional ties to the park. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve has been working with the Oral History Program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks since the 1990s to document the stories of people living in or around the park or with other traditional ties to the park. This project builds upon that work in using a number of the existing interviews in that collection, along with additional information, to produce a narrative report documenting the non-Native occupational groups traditionally associated with the park. It is essential to have consistency in interviewers and interview methods to ensure comparable results. It will have the added benefit that any new oral histories conducted for the current project can be incorporated into UAF&amp;apos;s existing Project Jukebox on-line oral history collection. </Description>

        <Description>THIS IS THE FULL ANNOUNCEMENT. This is a Notice of Intent to award a Cooperative Agreement to Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership, for the purpose of developing a plan for a network of trails connecting the Northeast region of the Denver Metro area to the RMANWR Complex which includes the Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR, Rocky Flats NWR and Two Ponds NWR. The tasks to be performed under this agreement are as follows: Stapleton/Commerce City Sand Creek Greenway Link Trail: The southern trail link plan will directly tie the RMANWR Visitor Center with the Sand Creek Regional Greenway (SCRG). The SCRG is currently the only east west off-road trail connection in the northeast Metro region and connects to trails that could lead to the Rocky Flats and Two Ponds NWR&amp;#191;s. The trail link will be built on land in two cities: Commerce City and Denver; and on land owned by one special district, Park Creek Metro District. 1. Commerce City Southern Link Plan. Planning and design is needed for a trail from the Visitor Center at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR south to 56th Ave (the Commerce City limits). Commerce City will use this funding to complete 30-50% construction design drawings, environmental documentation, surveys for utilities, rights of way, and public involvement activities on a proposed trail alignment, north of 56th Avenue to the southern boundary of the RMANWR. A consultant would determine if there are any utility conflicts or grade challenges and complete 50% construction drawings. 2. Park Creek Metro District (PCMD). PCMD will use this funding to complete the Stapleton/Commerce City/SCRGP Link trail south of 56th Avenue along Spruce Street and Spruce Way to the underpass at Northfield Blvd and either west along Quebec Street to the pedestrian bridge over Sand Creek to the Sand Creek Regional Greenway trail or east through Northfield Ponds Park to the Conoco trail on the south side of Northfield Shopping Center to Central Park Blvd to the Sand Creek Regional Greenway trail. The project funds will be spent on 30-50% construction design drawings, environmental documentation, surveys for utilities and rights of way negotiations on a proposed trail alignment from Denver International Airport. 3. Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership (SCRGP) Parallel Trails Plan. SCRGP will complete 30-50% construction design drawings for parallel trails (one paved and one unpaved), environmental documentation, and surveys for utilities, rights of way, and public involvement activities on the Sand Creek Regional Greenway trail from 47th Avenue to Peoria Avenue. Connections to the RMANWR from the west, east, and north. 1. Northeast Greenway Corridor (NGC) Restoration Plan. SCRGP will administer the funds and provide them to NGC Restoration Plan project. The Northeast Greenway Corridor (NGC) is an inter-jurisdictional partnership comprised of Adams County, the city of Aurora, the city of Brighton, the city of Commerce City, the city and county of Denver, the city of Thornton, the Office of the Colorado Attorney General, and the Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership. Through a Cooperative Agreement, this partnership is developing a plan for creation of a network of urban greenways, trails and open spaces near the RMANWR extending from Denver to Brighton and from Commerce City to Aurora known as the Greenway Project. The Restoration Plan will create and preserve first class habitat to complement the outstanding natural resources at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. A new system of stream and river corridors, riparian ecosystems, wildlife migration routes, and recreational trails will provide an integrated greenway and open space network across jurisdictional boundaries. The planning funds will be used to establish the best routes for off-the-road pathways and greenways to link to the RMANWR, environmental documentation, surveys for utilities, rights of way negotiations, and extensive public involvement and outreach activities. 2. The O&amp;#191;Brian Canal Trail Plan will be a major north/south connection in Commerce City with links east to the RMANWR. The portion of the trail from 128th Ave. south to 96th Ave. is already in the design process. Planning and design is needed for a trail along the canal from 96th Ave. south to the Sand Creek Regional Greenway Trail (which connects to the South Platte River Greenway). This trail would connect many more people to the RMANWR, Two Ponds NWR, and Rocky Flats NWR. The Farmers Irrigation and Reservoir Company (FRICO) owns the canal and the city will begin working with them soon to negotiate a recreational easement allowing a trail to be constructed adjacent to the canal where their maintenance road currently exists. This southern section of the O&amp;#191;Brian Canal Trail would connect to the Platte River Greenway Trail at 70th and Colorado (Commerce City&amp;#191;s Fernald Trail) and it would connect to the Sand Creek Trail at approximately 62nd Ave.</Description>

        <Description> This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00998 Project Title Review of Vegetation Distributions in Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park from Historic Aerial Imagery Recipient University of Alaska Anchorage Total Anticipated Award Amount $13281.00 Cost Share 0 Anticipated Length of Agreement 3 years Anticipated Period of Performance 3 years Award Instrument CESU Task Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#8211; Resources of the National Park System Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Unique Qualifications Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW (1) Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park (KLGO) traverses habitats ranging from intertidal to temperate rain forest to alpine tundra and glacial ice. During the past 110 years, since the time of the gold rush, climate change, isostatic rebound, floods, avalanches, and succession have changed the landscape dramatically. The NPS has undertaken a study to describe, quantify, and interpret these changes by: 1) creating a set of repeat photographs based on historic photographic material that captures glacier and vegetation patterns; 2) creating a GIS based historic land-cover / land-form map of a portion of the Chilkoot Unit by interpreting and digitizing aerial photos from the middle of the 20th century; and 3) set the stage for conducting a change-detection analysis of ice extent and plant communities comparing modern (2012-13) and historic (1940&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8211; 50&amp;#8217;s) aerial photographs within the park&amp;#8217;s Chilkoot Unit. (2) (3) The goal of this project is to detect change in the distribution of major vegetation types over the last 60 years in the Chilkoot Unit of KLGO. As climate exerts primary control on the broad-scale distribution and abundance of plant species, change in climate can produce a delayed but commensurate change in vegetation. Assuming landscape-scale vegetation change is present and detectable in KLGO, the project will document the magnitude and direction of this change by comparing the position of elevational treeline and shrubline on remotely-sensed imagery captured in 1948, 1979 and 2003/2005. Historic aerial photography dating from July 6 -11, 1948 (U.S. Navy BAR00 project, 1:20,000, pixel ground resolution of 1.4 m) and August 11, 1979 (Alaska High-Altitude Photography, 1:60,000, pixel ground resolution of 2.25 m) is available for the entirety of the Chilkoot Unit. Satellite imagery captured by the IKONOS-2 satellite on August 12, 2005 at a scale of 1:2,000 and pixel ground resolution of 1 m (Tobler 1987) is also available for the Chilkoot Unit; an orthorectified mosaic of aerial photographs taken on July 1, 2003 at a scale of 1:12,000 and pixel ground resolution of 0.15 m is available for the trail corridor. Landcover has been digitized on this imagery, using the higher-resolution aerial photography where available (Flagstad and Boucher 2015). These recently-delineated landcover classes will be collapsed to Level I of the Alaska Vegetation Classification (Forest, Shrub, Herbaceous; Viereck et al. 1992) to allow comparison among image sets. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT University of Alaska, Anchorage Alaska Natural Heritage program agrees to: &amp;#8226; Orthorectification, georeferencing and mosaicking for both the 1948 and 1979 aerial image sets, including delivery of digital products to the NPS. &amp;#8226; Manual digitization of tree and shrubline for both historic image sets, including delivery of digital products to the NPS. &amp;#8226; Extraction of tree and shrubline from current landcover map &amp;#8226; Addition of repeat photography locations to the geodatabase with relative path hyperlinks, including delivery of digital products to the NPS. &amp;#8226; Complete change detection analysis from 1948 to 1979 and 2003/2005 &amp;#8226; Develop a final report evaluating the changes in landcover over the period of available imagery. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT . NPS agrees to: &amp;#8226; Work collaboratively with AKNHP to identify photos and geographical locations that show historic and current vegetation conditions and types where possible as a way of &amp;#8220;ground truthing&amp;#8221; the broader change detection work. These specific locations will allow NPS and AKNHP to adaptively adjust the digitized tree and shrublines. &amp;#8226; Work with AKNHP to integrate already completed maps of changed glacial and ice extents into the analysis of altered landscapes. &amp;#8226; Develop and provide historic/modern photo pairs including location information and other detailed metadata. The final report outlining the methodology and limitations of the repeat photographs will also be provided. &amp;#8226; Provide geodatabase of georeferenced aerial imagery and metadata &amp;#8226; Develop and provide GIS coverages with vegetation classified to general Viereck Classification Level based on historic aerial imagery. &amp;#8226; Integrate developed GIS coverages, geodatabases, metadata, and other GIS products into the permanent NPS data set &amp;#8226; Format the final report to NPS Natural Resource Publication standards, obtain professional peer reviews, facilitate any required edits, and publish the final report into the Integrated Resource Management Application. Develop interpretive materials based on the study results for use on NPS sites and in interpretive programs.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants must be an NGO (not-for-profit organization); a private business, services or consulting firm; or a college, university or foundation.  For profit businesses must waive profits and/or fees to be eligible to submit a Concept Paper or Application. US and Non-US Organizations may participate under this NFO.  USAID strongly encourages applications from applicants that lead a group of organizations, to the extent a group is needed, that combines experience across types of ICT modes, such as mobile phone based services, Internet-based information portals, television, content delivery services, video, radio and GPS as well as those that have experience in ICT-enabled agriculture extension services as well as marketing (i.e., using mass and other marketing techniques to convince target users to change behavior similar to what has been used in the health sector to convince targeted audiences to change their health related habits).  Sub-grantees have the same eligibility requirements as an Applicant but they can also be government entities such as public agriculture extension or advisory service units or entities owned by a government (at least 50% of ownership is held by government).  USAID encourages local organizations as grant applicants or proposed sub-grantees).  Additionally, pursuant to 2 CFR 200.400(g) and 2 CFR 700.13, it is USAID policy not to award profit under assistance instruments.  However, all reasonable, allowable and allocable expenses, both direct and indirect, which are related to the Agreement program and are in accordance with applicable cost standards (2 CFR 200, 2 CFR 700, Relevant OMB Circulars, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 for for-profit organizations), may be paid under the agreement.  USAID strongly encourages applications from new partners.    </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The US Agency for International Development (USAID) with its partners is considering an award of a Cooperative Agreement to provide Information and Communications Technology (ICT) enabled services to contribute to the success of the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition in Mozambique. This Award, referred to as the Mozambique Country Award from the New Alliance ICT Extension Challenge Fund, is funded by New Alliance partners, including USAID and the UK&amp;#8217;s Department for International Development (DFID). These organizations serve on the Fund Coordination Committee. Four cooperative agreements have already been awarded from the New Alliance ICT Extension Challenge Fund for Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi and Senegal. The ICT Extension Challenge Fund seeks creative, integrated ICT-based approaches that can scale not pilot projects or proofs of concept. The Fund Grantees, including the Grantee for Mozambique, will use these approaches to convince farmers of the merits of adopting the new technologies via social marketing techniques; to widely disseminate information; and support the exchange of information to and from farmers and other actors regarding the improved technologies. All of these activities will complement related non-ICT activities (such as agriculture extension services and marketing) being used as part of the New Alliance to contribute to its success. The purpose of this NFO is to identify and select one organization, likely but not necessarily with sub-grantees, that is results-oriented, can forge sets of scaled ICT-enabled services &amp;#8211; and change them as needed depending on results and changing conditions &amp;#8211; to increase the adoption rates of the targeted new technologies by smallholder farmers. </Description>

        <Description>Background: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is an incurable brain disorder that occurs with an incidence of one case per million annually. The majority of patients die within six months of illness onset. The disease causes damage to the brain leaving patients completely dependent on their caregivers for the most basic needs of daily living. In 1996, a variant form of CJD emerged in the United Kingdom, which was causally linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Over 200 variant CJD cases have been identified worldwide, including three cases in the United States whose BSE exposure is believed to have occurred outside of the United States. Purpose: The purpose of this program is to enhance support to family members of patients with a suspected or diagnosed case of human prion disease as well as enhance support for national surveillancefor CJD and its emerging variants by (1) providing family members of such patients with easy access to consultations with persons experienced and knowledgeable about practical issues related to this disease, 2) facilitating educational and other mutually beneficial interaction of researchers with family members of CJD patients (3) increasing general awareness about CJD and (4) increasing the number of autopsies of suspected CJD cases. This program addresses the &amp;#8220;Healthy People 2010&amp;#8221; focus area of Infectious Diseases. Increasing awareness about CJD can be achieved by facilitating dialogue among CJD researchers, family members, and health care professionals. Increasing awareness empowers CJD families to make the appropriate decisions about the care of their loved ones. Learning more about prion diseases through autopsy study of CJD cases would assist in the determination of the various types of human prion disease present in the United States and their frequency of occurrence over time. Such study would also assist in the earlier recognition of potentially emerging forms of human prion disease and facilitate the development of improved pre-mortem diagnostic tests or treatments. Increasing autopsy rates is critical because CJD can only be confirmed through neuropathological study of brain tissue. Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the following Focus Area from Healthy People: Immunization and Infectious Diseases. </Description>

        <Description>On May 18, 2015, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate issued NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH15ZEA001N Appendix D.4 Convergent Aeronautics Solutions (CAS) Project. The release included the following 2 subtopics in Appendix D.4 for foundational research in support of the Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project: (4.2.1) Transformative Innovation and (4.2.2) Tools to Support and Innovative Culture. Proposals are due July 2, 2015. The Convergent Aeronautics Solutions (CAS) Project consists of a diversified portfolio of research and development activities aligned with NASA strategic thrusts pursuing novel concepts focused on system-level benefits with the potential to significantly outperform current solutions. The focus is on convergence of traditional aeronautics disciplines with technologies driven by the non-aerospace community to advance innovative solutions enabling new capabilities in commercial aviation. These types of innovation cannot be managed using the same approaches commonly used for other types of NASA research and technology development focused on more incremental improvements. The CAS projects seeks to engage the innovation and design communities to identify, assess, and adapt alternative methods and tools to support an innovative organization and build an innovative workforce able to more effectively respond to global trends associated with the accelerating pace of technological change, democratization of information, rapid advances in technologies outside of aerospace, and increasing complexity of society. This is an opportunity to conduct research projects that can be used by NASA to inform and support internal decisions associated with developing skills within the NASA workforce and infrastructure at the NASA field centers to foster and sustain an innovative organization necessary to pursue highly collaborative and transformative solutions; nurture development of in-house, cross-discipline, technical integrators and facilitators that can foster idea generation, outreach, and collaboration; gather and learn to apply best innovation practices; incorporate convergent (non-aerospace) capabilities that help enable innovation organizations; identify and assess platforms and their utilization for collaboration across diverse technical communities, increase awareness of strategic challenges, and support collaborative distributed development of and decision making associated with innovative solutions; and enhance existing NASA labs and facilities to create and enhance physical and dig ital inter-center incubation and innovation environments. Organizations interested in working with NASA to help enable future revolutions in aeronautics and aerospace may consider submitting a proposal under the NASA Research Announcement NNH15ZEA001N-CAS1.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Research Center (RHRC) Cooperative Agreement Program. The purpose of the RHRC Cooperative Agreement Program is to increase the amount of high quality, impartial, policy-relevant research to assist decision-makers at the federal, state and local levels to better understand problems faced by rural communities, and provide information that will improve access to health care and population health. RHRC recipients will conduct policy-oriented health services research on rural issues and synthesize the results into reports easily understood by a non-technical policy audience. They will develop and disseminate research products in consultation with ORHP, in its official policy role, to State Offices of Rural Health and other decision-makers. RHRC recipients will maintain and keep up-to-date an extensive library of data sets on their rural topic of concentration (e.g., include access to health care for the under- and uninsured, health care quality and outcomes, home health, and rural health clinics, racial and ethnic disparities) geo-coded so they can analyze the data for a variety of definitions of rural. Recipients will develop a policy-relevant research portfolio each year with input from ORHP, their Expert Work Group (if applicable), and other decision-makers. RHRC recipients must frame rural issues into researchable questions. Applicants must demonstrate capabilities in manipulating complex data sets and in linking across data sets. The awards provided through the RHRC Cooperative Agreement Program are designed to provide support for a four-year research center with a specific area of research concentration, and intended to provide an infrastructure to support health services researchers entering the field to explore the research complexities of rural health issues. This Cooperative Agreement Program will support health services research projects but excludes clinical/biomedical research and the expenditure of funds for delivery of services. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled &amp;#8220;Bioenergy Technologies Incubator 2&amp;#8221;. BETO&amp;#8217;s mission is to engage in research and development (R&amp;amp;D) and demonstration activities at increasing scale to transform renewable biomass resources into commercially viable, high-performance biofuels, as well as bioproducts and biopower that enable biofuel production. To accomplish this mission, BETO develops a strategic plan, or multi-year program plan, to identify the technical challenges and barriers that need to be overcome. These technical challenges and barriers form the basis for BETO to issue funding opportunities announcements (FOAs) for financial assistance awards in these specific areas. However, BETO recognizes that there may be novel and potentially disruptive ideas that do not necessarily satisfy the requirement of specific FOAs, yet still meet the goals and mission of BETO. The Bioenergy Incubator Program is intended to identify these potentially impactful ideas that are not meaningfully addressed in BETO&amp;#8217;s strategic plan or project portfolio. It is NOT intended to fund projects that are incremental improvements to current products or processes or established work in BETO&amp;#8217;s strategic plan or current portfolio. It is anticipated that the FOA will have two topic areas. Topic Area 1 will be open to all proposals that seek to develop novel, non-incremental technologies that facilitate the goals of BETO&amp;#8217;s Algae platform, but are not represented in a significant way in the current Algae project portfolio. Topic Area 2 will be open to all proposals that seek to develop novel, non-incremental technologies that facilitate the goals of BETO, but are not represented in a significant way in the current Feedstocks or Conversion project portfolios. The FOA will describe areas of non-interest (that is, areas that BETO is funding in a significant way) with greater specificity. It is expected that proposals will be at early Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs), ranging from 2 (technology concept and/or application formulated) to 4 (component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment). EERE envisions awarding multiple financial assistance awards in the form of cooperative agreements. The estimated period of performance for each award will be approximately 12-24 months. This Notice is issued so that interested parties are aware of EERE&amp;#8217;s intention to issue this FOA in the near term. All of the information contained in this Notice is subject to change. EERE will not respond to questions concerning this Notice. Once the FOA has been released, EERE will provide an avenue for potential Applicants to submit questions. EERE plans to issue the FOA in July 2015 via the EERE Exchange website (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/). If Applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding this FOA, they should register in EERE Exchange. When the FOA is released, applications will be accepted only through EERE Exchange. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are small communities that meet the following statutory criteria under 49 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 41743:1. As of calendar year 1997, the airport serving the community was not larger than a small hub airport,  and it has insufficient air carrier service or unreasonably high air fares; and&amp;#8195;2. The airport serving the community presents characteristics, such as geographic diversity or unique circumstances that demonstrate the need for, and feasibility of, grant assistance from the Small Community Program.No more than four communities or consortia of communities, or a combination thereof, from the same state may be selected to participate in the program in any fiscal year.  No more than 40 communities or consortia of communities, or a combination thereof, may be selected to participate in the program in each year for which the funds are appropriated.Consortium applications:  Both individual communities and consortia of communities are eligible for SCASDP funds.  An application from a consortium of communities must be one that seeks to facilitate the efforts of the communities working together toward one joint grant project, with one joint objective, including the establishment of one entity to ensure that the joint objective is accomplished.Multiple Applications:  A community may file only one application for a grant, either individually or as part of a consortium.Communities without existing air service:  Communities that do not currently have commercial air service are eligible for SCASDP funds.  Essential Air Service communities:  Small communities that meet the basic SCASDP criteria and currently receive subsidized air service under the Essential Air Service (&amp;#8220;EAS&amp;#8221;) program are eligible to apply for SCASDP funds.  However, grant awards to EAS-subsidized communities are limited to marketing or promotion projects that support existing or newly subsidized EAS.  Grant funds will not be authorized for EAS-subsidized communities to support any new competing air service.  Furthermore, no funds will be authorized to support additional flights by EAS carriers or changes to those carriers&amp;#8217; existing schedules.  These restrictions are necessary to avoid conflicts with the mandate of the EAS program.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>THIS IS NOTICE INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE SOURCE AND THERE IS NO FULL ANNOUNCEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NOTICE. This is a notice of intent to award a Cooperative Agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) for the purpose developing a case strategy of Powell River, VA Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration. Virginia Tech has a history of conducting research in the Powell River watershed through long-term water quality monitoring projects in the headwaters and surveys of trust species in the lower watershed. Virginia Tech recently performed baseline water and sediment chemistry monitoring in a central reach of the Powell River and a major tributary where trust species have likely been extirpated. In addition to experience specific to the Powell River, Virginia Tech currently has the staff, materials and technical expertise available for this project, allowing for the most effective and efficient use of funds. The Service will benefit greatly from the data already collected by Virginia Tech and they are well positioned to use the information to help us develop a Preassessment Screen.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement is modified. HHS made changes regarding eligibility for derivatives and a pre-certified victim&amp;apos;s requirement to meet with a law enforcement official or an attorney. Please see changes in the Executive Summary and Section I., Purpose and Scope, Program Requirements, Program Evaluation Plan, Additional Information, and Post-Award Requirements. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces that competing applications will be accepted for cooperative agreements to administer the Trafficking Victim Assistance Program (TVAP). The central purpose of these cooperative agreements is to efficiently fund comprehensive case management services on a per capita basis to foreign victims and potential victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons seeking HHS certification in any location within the United States. Each awarded organization must provide case management and referrals to qualified persons either directly through its own organization or through partnering with other organizations through contracts. Note: Persons qualified for services under this grant (qualified persons) means victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons who have received certification from ORR or, in the case of child victims, letters of eligibility from ORR; potential victims of a severe form of trafficking who are seeking assistance to achieve HHS certification; and minor dependent children of victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons or potential victims of trafficking.</Description>

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement NPS-MWRO -P15AC00808 Project Title Assist with Hydrographic Surveys and Other Aquatic Studies at Sleeping Bear Dunes and Lake Superior National Parks Recipient Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) Total Anticipated Award Amount Not to exceed $128,000 over 5 years Cost Share $0 Anticipated Length of Agreement 5 years Anticipated Period of Performance July 1, 2015 &amp;#8211; June 30, 2020 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC &amp;#167;101702(b)(Formerly16 USC &amp;#167; 1a-2(j)):Cooperative Agreements, Cooperative Research and Training Programs CFDA # and Title 15.944 &amp;#8211; Natural Resources Stewardship Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Unique Qualifications, Continuation Point of Contact Jay Glase &amp;#8211; NPS Fishery Biologist jay_glase@nps.gov 402-661-1512 Julie Hendricks, Lead Grants Mgmt Specialist, julie_hendricks@nps.gov 402-661-1662 OVERVIEW This project involves nearshore mapping and monitoring activities at multiple Great Lakes national parks and engages faculty and students from a technical college near Sleeping Bear Dunes. The project will result in gains in scientific knowledge about the structure of the lake bottom and the health of nearshore ecosystems, which will be shared broadly with the public and scientific community through a range of technical reports, interpretive products, and student presentations. Two student interns from the college&amp;#8217;s Great Lakes Water Studies Institute will be hired in the first year of the agreement, providing them with invaluable real-world experience and creating new pathways for communication about NPS resources. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The overall objective of this agreement is to secure assistance from the Great Lakes Water Studies Institute at Northwest Michigan College for lake bottom mapping and monitoring, in National Park units of Lakes Superior and Michigan. Assistance will be provided through two internship position and occasional assistance from the P.I. with selection of and guidance for the interns. One intern will work with an NPS boat operator and a hydrographic surveyor to collect bathymetric and benthic habitat data via multi-beam sonar and photo/video imagery. A second intern will assist with water quality data collection and aquatic system monitoring. Training in the field on the use of the NPS sonar system and water quality monitoring will be provided, but the ability to work independently on data collection by the interns is ultimately expected. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT NMC will provide an intern to assist with data collection in the field and with data processing and analysis. Professor Hans VanSumeren of NMC will also assist NPS with technical advice and with collection of lake bottom video and photo imagery data at Sleeping Bear Dunes using a Remotely Operated Vehicle in areas of significant interest to NPS and other agencies including USGS and Michigan DNR. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT The project involves ongoing work being conducted by NPS. NPS is the primary party responsible for carrying out the objectives of the project and will provide programmatic oversight, student orientation, and technical assistance throughout. NPS will facilitate integration of project findings into interpretive and outreach products. NPS is involved with the recipient in describing the goals, jointly developing the scope and the activities to be accomplished. NPS staff will assist the recipient in selecting projects, provide orientation to park resources, oversee assignments, teach new skills, distribute tools and equipment and provide technical assistance and safety training. NPS will provide a work leader and skilled maintenance staff to mentor and train the youth employed through this program NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based on the following criteria: Continuation, Unique Qualifications. The Great Lakes Water Studies Institute at NMC is the only institution in the upper Great Lakes region providing a course of study for students to prepare them for the very specific type of work required by the project. It uses multi-beam sonar technology to create lake bottom maps at several parks and students that study at the Institute have gained experience using several different types of this technology. Additionally, the Project Investigator, Hans VanSumeren, NMC professor has worked closely with NPS staff at Sleeping Bear Dunes on this and other projects and has demonstrated his expertise in the use of Remotely Operated Vehicles for collection of lake bottom imagery to describe substrate and habitat. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. </Description>

Factors to be considered in assessing demonstrated need for the FY 2012 application include the following: 1) The unmet need for HIV-related services as determined by section 2617(b) of the PHS Act; 2) An increasing need for HIV/AIDS-related services, including relative rates of increase in the number of living cases of HIV/AIDS; 3) The relative rates of increase in the number of living cases of HIV/AIDS within new or emerging subpopulations; 4) The current prevalence of HIV/AIDS; 5) Relevant factors related to the cost and complexity of delivering health care to individuals with HIV/AIDS in the eligible area; 6) The impact of co-morbid factors, including co-occurring conditions, identified relevant by the Secretary, including high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, substance use, severe mental illness, and other co-morbid factors; 7) The prevalence of homelessness; 8) The prevalence of individuals who were released from federal, state or local prisons during the preceding three years, and had HIV/AIDS on the date of their release; 9) Relevant factors that limit access to health care including geographic variation, adequacy of health insurance coverage and language barriers; and 10) Impact of a decline in the amount received in formula funding on services available to all individuals with HIV/AIDS identified and eligible under the title. When describing demonstrated need, applicants should document the use of multiple data sets, such as HIV/AIDS epidemiologic data, co-morbidity data, poverty and insurance status data, current utilization data, 2010 Ryan White Data Report (RDR), and assessments of emerging populations with special needs. </Description>

        <Description>Background: The BLM is interested in partnering with a recipient to provide youth with education and work experience opportunities, through conservation projects which will further their understanding and appreciation of natural and cultural resources. Natural resource enhancement projects, such as but not limited to invasive and noxious weed treatments, fuels reduction, wildlife habitat enhancement, and recreation site maintenance, will occur on public and/or private lands within the West Eugene Wetlands Project Area. Objectives: The objective of this agreement is to provide youth the opportunity to connect with the natural world through the completion of various natural resource projects on public and/or private lands within the West Eugene Wetlands Project Area. These projects will enhance and conserve public recreation, wildlife, and plant resources while providing youth with positive work experiences, development of work skills, a sense of personal responsibility, encouragement for a long term community service commitment, and the potential for future employment in natural resource management. Projects may be performed year round with a majority being performed April through September.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Press and Public Diplomacy of the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs (SCA) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement to administer the Digital Media Co-op Program. This program seeks to develop close ties between journalists and media outlets in the United States and the countries of South and Central Asia, as well as build the ability of journalists from South and Central Asia to use social media and other technologies in their reporting, through a series of intensive three-week mentorship placements in the San Francisco Bay/Silicon Valley area. The countries of South and Central Asia are: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. This program reflects and supports the foreign policy goals of the United States. Organizations must submit a proposal that falls between the floor of $250,000 and the ceiling of $275,000. SCA expects to award one cooperative agreement for an estimated maximum duration of 12 months.</Description>

        <Description>The Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps (CVMRC) is a national network of over 200,000 volunteers, organized in local community-based groups and committed to strengthening public health, reducing vulnerabilities, improving local preparedness, response and recovery capabilities, and building community resilience. MRC units have supported numerous community public health missions, participated in local and regional exercises across the nation, and responded during emergencies when called upon by local and state response agencies. MRC volunteers remain in place to help communities recover after emergencies when other response assets return home &amp;#8211; because they are already home. Due to the community-based nature of the MRC, each unit is unique in what it can provide before, during, and after emergencies as well as to support public health missions. In March 2002, the Office of the Surgeon General within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) established MRC as a demonstration project. The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act authorized MRC as an ongoing program in 2006. In 2013, the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act (PAHPRA) assigned authority and responsibility for the program to ASPR. With the publication of a Federal Register Notice revising ASPR&amp;#8217;s Statement of Organization, Functions, and Delegations of Authority (79 FR 70535) on November 26, 2014, MRC formally moved from the OASH to ASPR. </Description>

        <Description>The northern long eared bat recently was federally listed as threatened primarily due to the effects of white nose syndrome (WNS). Occurrence data for this species in Oklahoma is limited. Duncan Field Cave on the Sally Bull Hollow Unit of the Ozark Plateau NWR is one of 9 hibernacula in Oklahoma the species currently is known to use. About 10 to 20 individuals typically are observed in the cave during winter cave surveys. However, the number of northern long eared bats that use the cave as a hibernaculum is difficult to ascertain due to the tendency of this species to roost in small cracks and crevices and because the cave has over 9 miles of passage. Therefore, the overall relative importance of this cave as a winter hibernaculum is not currently well understood. The goal of this award is to conduct fall and spring bat surveys and a northern long eared bat banding study over a two year period at Duncan Field Cave located on the Sally Bull Hollow Unit of the Ozark Plateau NWR in Adair County, Oklahoma. The purpose of this project is to investigate use of this large refuge cave by the threatened northern long eared bat to better understand the importance of the cave to this species. The proposed project will consist of netting and or trapping at three (of the 11) cave entrances. ESI will mist net and or trap at the three selected cave entrances for two nights in the fall (October) of 2015 and 2016 and in the spring (March) of 2016 and 2017, for a minimal sampling of 24 net nights of sampling over the life of the project. Each northern long eared bat captured will be banded. A photo will be taken of each species captured and of each listed bat captured. If wing damage or any other sign of the possible presence of the fungus that causes WNS is observed, a swab sample will be collected. The following data will be recorded for all bats captured: species, sex, age class, reproductive condition, right forearm length, weight, and wing condition. ESI will provide an annual report and a final report at the end of the project.</Description>

        <Description>This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits proposals from federally-recognized tribes or intertribal consortia for the development and implementation of hazardous waste programs and for building capacity to address hazardous waste management in Indian country. In accordance with the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, EPA recognizes tribal governments as the primary parties for managing programs for reservations. In an effort to maximize the benefits to tribes from the limited funding to support the Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes, the EPA has reassessed the criteria used to evaluate proposals submitted for funding through this grant program beginning in FY 2015. The goal of this effort is to provide technical assistance to a greater number of tribes for activities that involve hazardous waste management on tribal lands. </Description>

        <Description>The proposed project will evaluate the effects of altered thermal profiles on the embryo and early life stage of Burbot in the context of current and historical Kootenai River flow regimes. Critical questions that will be addressed in this project include but are not limited to the following: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; What are the specific thermal requirements (throughout the egg incubation period) for proper embryo and early larval development? &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Given typical temperature peaks in the Kootenai River during the incubation period, what are the survival rates of Burbot eggs and do they temporally change with egg development? &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Can optimal flow management profiles be identified that will provide river temperatures that promote egg survival? &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; What is the specific relationship between flow and temperature in the Kootenai River, and can adequate flows be managed during Burbot egg incubation that will be conducive to hatching success? This project is authorized under CFDA Program 15.608 Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. Authorizing legislation is the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 742a-742j; Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, 16 U.S.C. 661-666; Sikes Act of 1974, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 670(a)-670(o); Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 3101; Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, Public Law 92-522, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 1361-1421; Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980; Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 4701-4741; the Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42; 50 CFR 16). </Description>

        <Description>Recreational boating is a popular activity; there are approximately 12 million registered boats in the United States. Of this total, an estimated 560,000 are at least 26 feet long. The Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-178) established the Boating Infrastructure Grants (BIG) Program (16 U.S.C. 777g-1) to provide funding to the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands, and the territories of Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (States) for the construction, renovation and maintenance of boating infrastructure facilities for transient recreational vessels at least 26 feet long that are operated, leased, rented, or chartered primarily for pleasure. The Act amended the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 777). Subsequent reauthorizations of the Act allow expenditures from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund and the continuation of the BIG Program. Boating infrastructure means the structures, equipment, accessories, and services that are necessary or desirable for a facility to accommodate eligible vessels. Transient vessels are those passing through or by a place, staying up to 15 days. Projects completed using BIG funds must provide public access, but may be publicly or privately owned. This is the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 BIG Tier 2 &amp;#12287; National grants. The NOFO for FY 2016 BIG Tier 1 &amp;#12287; State grants is a separate announcement.</Description>

The release included the following 9 subtopics in Appendix B.4 for foundational research in support of the SASO Project: (2.1) System Study to Identify Opportunities for increasingly Autonomous Operations with Emphasis in Traffic Flow Management and Closely-spaced Parallel Runway Operations; (2.2) System study to identify ab initio architecture(s) to meet the needs of future airspace operations (targeted for 2035 and beyond); (2.3) Safety Assurance for Increasingly Autonomous (IA) Systems; (2.4) Advanced universal, reliable, always available, cyber secure and affordable Communication, Navigation, Surveillance (CNS) Options for all altitudes of UAS operations; (2.5) Human-autonomy teaming; (2.6) Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) Trajec tory Mod eling Approaches; (2.7) Identification of UAV Situational Awareness Issues and Intervention Procedures for Off Nominal Events; (2.8) Interactivity and Mobility Decision Modeling; and (2.9) Concept and Technologies to Support Reduced Crew Operations for Commercial Carriers. NOIs are due June 29, 2015 and proposals are due August 3, 2015. The Safe Autonomous System Operations (SASO) Project seeks to maintain a highly efficient, predictable, agile, scalable, safe, and affordable airspace operations system while supporting global competitiveness and domestic viability by innovation in technology and business models to manage airspace operations. The project develops concepts, algorithms, technologies, and architectures to safely meet future National Airspace System (NAS) needs in the ATM+3 time horizon to enable airspace operations of greater complexity, density, scalability, mobility, efficiency, and affordability by justifiable combination of automation and autonomy. These NAS needs include: * Increasing mobility of passengers, goods, and services; * Allowing diverse vehicle mix and airspace uses (e.g., air travel, wind turbines, commercial space launches); * Safely enabling scalability to accommodate future demand; and * Accommodating a variety of business models (e.g., hub-and-spoke, point-to-point, air taxi, sharing). To meet these needs, the SASO project will conduct research in areas where there are potential additional benefits through the use of automation, autonomy (self-governance), and autonomicity (self-management). These areas include: * Enabling low altitude operations; * Autonomous localization, sensing, and conformance; * Reduced crew operations; * Autonomous aircraft operations; * Autonomous traffic flow management; and * Foundational verification and validation methods to assure these autonomous operations and technologies.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. Project Objective: The objective of this Task Agreement is to support and stimulate work and/or education and training opportunities for young adults through collaborative participation in the NPS Urban Archeology Program through projects related to preservation efforts on Moccasin Bend National Archeological District with staff members from Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. The UAC provides youth with an immersive experience in archeology and cultural resource stewardship. The UAC engages partners and communities in the shared environmental stewardship of archeological resources. It promotes greater public and private participation in archeology while building resource stewardship ethics in youth. Products created by the UAC will be shared through community events and social media to increase public awareness, knowledge, and support for archeological resources and stewardship of the nation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s cultural and historical heritage. The UAC&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s principal purpose is to support the Government&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s objective to provide opportunities for youth to learn about the cultural environment by spending time working on projects in National Parks. The project motivates its youth participants to become involved in the archeological protection of their communities and beyond. Youth employed in the UAC gain hands-on experience outside of the classroom in archeological projects by working in a variety of NPS divisional tasks. As a result, the UAC assists in the creation, promotion, facilitation, and/or improvement of public understanding of archeology and public lands as they relate to urban communities. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park Staff and Conservation Legacy youth crew members (ages 16 to18) from around the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, will work together to accomplish preservation work, trail clearing and restoration, and archeological survey techniques (non-invasive). Duties may include archeological and compliance techniques, data entry, and field surveys under the directions of NPS staff. This agreement supports nine crew members (two crew leaders and seven crew members) with the projected schedule as follows: (9) Conservation Legacy crew leaders and members: A. Conservation Legacy agrees to: 1. Administer the recruitment, hiring, and employment of youth and leaders for the Urban Archeology Corps. 2.

        <Description>Short Line railroads operate more than 50,000 miles of track, which is one-third of the national railroad network. They are an important feeder system for the larger Class I railroads, helping connect local communities to the national railroad network. There are 550 short line railroads operating in the United States, 73 of which currently handle some volume of crude oil. The safety management system of short lines is extremely varied and many companies lack the resources to conduct hazardous materials safety training and other operational safety assessments. FRA&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#162;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s Office of Research and Development is working with the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) to coordinate the development of a Safety Institute. The Institute&amp;apos;s mission is to build a stronger and sustainable safety culture in the short line industry through non-punitive and voluntary partnerships with member railroads. The Institute will also provide manager and employee education and training programs for short line railroads.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity is to create a venue or venues to engage high-level state health policy makers with health policy experts in the areas of privacy, security, and other concepts. This work will not duplicate the support already being supplied by ONC to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Innovation State Innovation Model program (hereafter &amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#156;CMMI SIM&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#157; program). It will however, provide a venue in which state policy makers, including those policy makers from CMMI SIM states, can focus specifically on the impact of disparate state privacy laws as a barrier to interoperable exchange of information for health. ONC believes that providing such a venue serves two key purposes: 1. Ensure that state policy leaders develop an understanding of where state policy, or other real or perceived barriers to interoperability, may exist that are within the states&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153; own powers to alleviate or remove. In doing so, leverage those states desiring to take advantage of technological advances to make documenting patient consent choices that are required by state law as easy as on-line banking is today; 2. Provide an opportunity for state policy leaders to share their experiences regarding areas where those state policy leaders observe impediments to interoperable exchange of information for health that derive from federal statutes, regulations or policies.</Description>

        <Description>This project provides information to examine migratory and wintering pathways and breeding and migratory behavior for Saltmarsh Sparrows. Data from nanotag tracking studies will be combined with genetic marker research to identify areas that are important to conserve for Saltmarsh Sparrows. Nanotag data will reveal information on the timing and duration of migration movements, how sparrows use the marshes before and during migration, and possibly their destination on the wintering grounds. High resolution genetic tags will identify fine-scale relationships among breeding populations and their migratory connections as well as their wintering grounds location on a scale that is informative for regional conservation planning. Saltmarsh sparrows are of the highest conservation concern due to declining populations and vulnerability to climate change. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Labor (the Department) announces the availability of up to $500 million in grant funds to be awarded under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grants program. The TAACCCT grants program provides eligible institutions of higher education, as defined in section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1002), with funds to expand and improve their ability to deliver education and career training programs that can be completed in two years or less, and are suited for workers who are eligible for training under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Workers Program (&amp;quot;TAA-eligible workers&amp;quot;) of the Trade Act of 1974 (as amended) 19 U.S.C. 2271-2323, as well as other adults. Eligible institutions may be located in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico or the U.S. territories; however, the competitiveness of institutions in the U.S. territories under this SGA may be impacted by their limited opportunity to serve TAA-eligible workers. The Department intends to fund multi-year grants to eligible institutions for either developing new education and career training program strategies or for replicating existing evidence-based design, development, and/or delivery strategies for such programs.</Description>

Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. Project Title: National Public Lands Day Project Description: National Public Lands Day (NPLD) which supports Take Pride in America is a joint effort of the eight leading federal land managing agencies to improve public lands and encourage public volunteerism. On the last Saturday of September thousands of volunteers join resource managers at parks, refuges, forest, reservoirs, recreation area, historic sites and public lands to clear trails, repair structures, clean rivers, paint buildings, remove invasive plants and engage in a variety of much needed work. Though volunteers are used, there is a cost to operating the program. The National Environmental Education and Foundation (NEEF) serves as the primary organizer and sponsor. They develop manuals, press kits, folders, full color posters and token gifts and certificates presented to volunteers. NEEF will provide support to park units in preparation for National Public Lands Day 2015. NEEF has a long track record of organizing and coordinating National Public Lands Day (NPLD) and is able to reach out to thousands of public land managers, amplifying the importance of public land stewardship. NPLD will be held on September 26, 2015. The NPS has a history of partnership and collaboration with NEEF, particularly with regards to NPLD, the nation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s largest single day volunteer event on public lands. Due to this strong working relationship, no competition was solicited for this particular cooperative agreement. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT NEEF agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Create and disseminate information throughout the NPS about NPLD 2015 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide an orientation for NPS staff who are interested in learning more about how to participate in NPLD &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide NPS sites with access to an online registration system that they can use to post and promote events &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Coordinate the promotion of NPS-based NPLD events among NEEF&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s network and the general public &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide participating parks with access to NPLD event planning and promotion tools including electronic toolkits, customizable promotional materials, web banners, social media tools, etc. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Promote the NPS-NEEF partnership through traditional and social media &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Distribute fee-free coupons to adults who volunteer at NPS sites during NPLD 2015 Provide NPS with a progress report at the end of NPLD 2015 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: NPS agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide financial assistance in the amount of $45,000.00 to cover coordination, marketing and reporting of this national event &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide general orientation to the NPS, park/site operations and its mission to interns &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; To provide NPS technical representatives on site at each of the NPLD sites to assist with specifics of the project as needed SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award.

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy&amp;#8217;s (EERE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) seeks stakeholder input on (1) the potential to optimize and/or modify small engines to utilize ethanol blends greater than 10% (E10) and (2) the barriers limiting the expansion of overall biofuel consumption in the small engine industry. The small engines of interest for this RFI are spark-ignition, internal combustion engines such as those found in small tractors, chainsaws, hand-held line trimmers, off-road motorcycles, generator sets, personal water craft, snowmobiles, and all-terrain vehicles. This is solely a request for information and not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. DOE will not respond to questions related to this RFI. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to BETOSmallEnginesRFI@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (EDT) on 8/30/2015. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. The full content of the announcement can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate changes to the Funding Opportunity Announcement, DE-FOA-0000672. Accordingly, this modification(1) Changed the due date of Replies to Reviewer Comments from June 20 to June 19, and (2)Removed Section VI.B.11: Section VI.B.11 was intended to implement ?316 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012. That section requires the recipients of Department of Energy grants in excess of $1,000,000 to upgrade any lighting in their facilities that does not meet the incandescent efficiency standards set forth in 42 U.S.C. ?6295. ARPA-E removed this section because ?316 applies exclusively to grants. It does not apply to any other form of financial assistance. In the unlikely event that ARPA-E awards a grant (which have not been issued to date, and are not expected to be issued in the future), the requirement in ?316 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 would apply; and Added an additional Technical Requirement to Section IV.C.1 of the FOA. This program seeks to fund the development of transformational technologies that reduce the barriers to mass adoption of natural gas use in vehicles. Of particular interest are technologies that enable at-home refueling and low-cost, high energy density on-board storage for natural gas vehicles. To obtain a copy of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) please go to the ARPA-E website at https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov. Applicants are required to submit all questions regarding this FOA to ARPA-E-CO@hq.doe.gov. Every Friday, ARPA-E will post responses to any questions that were received by Wednesday at 12 PM ET.

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#12287;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Project Title Campus Outdoor Ambassador Program Recipient The Outdoor Foundation Principle Investigator / Program Manager Christine Fanning Total Anticipated Award Amount $100,000.00 Cost Share $110,000.00 New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement P15AC00369 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 9/30/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 9/30/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.954 Conservation, Protection, Outreach and Education Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00369 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, (NPS), and The Outdoor Foundation for the purpose of increasing participation by all Americans &amp;#12287; especially youth and young adults &amp;#12287; in outdoor recreation activities and in the conservation of our public lands. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. The Campus Outdoor Ambassador Program is a partnership involving the NPS Youth Programs Office, the NPS Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program, and the Outdoor Foundation, building a college-based effort to increase the active connections between young adults and the national parks. It materially contributes to public purposes and the stated agency priorities of building the relevance of national parks among younger generations, providing healthy recreation experiences, connecting parks with communities, and providing employment opportunities. This campus-park partnership will identify and invest in student leaders who will spearhead increasing outdoor recreation participation and national park awareness among young adults. The partnership will offer NPS career exposure as well as temporary student employment opportunities while cultivating next-generation park enthusiasts and champions across the country. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The Outdoor Foundation agrees to: 1. Create, in consultation with NPS, a recruitment strategy for identifying potential candidate Ambassadors and schools. 2. Design and implement an application process for candidate Ambassadors. 3. Seek advice from NPS in the selection process for applicants. 4. Notify selected Ambassadors and their respective schools, and notify all applicants of selection outcomes. 5. Conduct necessary training for selected Ambassadors, such as use of social media, public speaking, and working with local media; and familiarize Ambassadors with all required and encouraged activities including the conduct of campus gatherings to engage diverse new audiences, social campaigns to promote NPS outings, and ways to report results of activities. 6. Undertake private and philanthropic partners as required to permit leveraging of NPS funding on a 1:1 basis. 7. Administer all aspects of the Ambassador network, including managing the recruitment process, maintaining communications with Ambassadors, providing stipends to participating students, and maintaining appropriate procedures for accountability and reporting of results. 8. Provide a video and report reflecting the impact of the Ambassador Program and the on-the-ground results, to include the number of participants who made outings, the number of outings taken, and a representative selection of any media presence and social media activity generated. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: NPS agrees to: 1. Consult closely with the Outdoor Foundation in creating the program&amp;#12287;s broad outlines and in developing the recruitment strategy for identifying prospective Ambassadors, especially those that focus on engaging new audiences including minorities, underserved communities and priority urban areas. 2. Consult with Outdoor Foundation staff in review of candidates for selection as Ambassador and in consideration of the menu of appropriate and beneficial training and activities that will support the purpose of the program. 3. Assist in fostering connections between national park sites and the Ambassadors. 4. Provide support and consultation with the Outdoor Foundation&amp;#12287;s staff member coordinating the Ambassadors program. 5. Provide feedback and recommendations for program changes and improvements based on results provided in Ambassadors&amp;#12287; interim and final reports. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#12287; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#12287; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#12287; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#12287; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#12287; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#12287; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This is a Task Agreement (P15AC01052) under Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00369) in the amount of $100,000.00 with a period of performance from date of award until 09/30/2016.

        <Description> Great Lakes coasts are where land and watersheds, the lakes, and people all meet. It is here where people directly experience, appreciate, use, and impact the lakes. Management issues are complex, multi-disciplinary, often large scale, and multi-jurisdictional. Bringing science to support the adaptive management cycle for coastal resources is especially complex. In this project we will encourage and demonstrate better linkages between science development and coastal management, at the basin- or ecosystem-scale. This will require joining the complimentary skill sets of the GLSC and the GLC, and we will tackle the following joint Initiatives (see the attached Implementing Agreement for specifics): Initiative 1A. Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative. Wetland invasion by Phragmites australis (common reed) is a significant threat recognized by the public, NGO&amp;#8217;s, and governmental agencies at all levels. Unsustainable, resource-intensive methods, including herbicides, mechanical removal, and water-level manipulations are used widely across the landscape to limit its impact on existing ecosystems and promote habitat restoration within GLRI projects. Management is conducted by a variety of stakeholders (e.g., professional land managers, road commissions, home owners, lake associations) for a variety of ecological, economic and aesthetic reasons. These efforts are often uncoordinated and conducted without identification of desired outcomes. Some restoration efforts (including those funded by GLRI) contain a monitoring component that seeks to characterize system response after treatment while others have no monitoring component at all (i.e., system response to treatment is not quantified). A communication strategy dedicated to technology transfer, information sharing, and network building will improve collaboration and lead to more coordinated, efficient, and strategic approaches in Phragmites management and restoration. The multiagency partnership (USGS-GLSC, Great Lakes Commission) developed for this project will help the proposed coordination be both regionally applicable and locally significant. This partnership can be a conduit for information at local to international scales. Initiative 1B. Collaborative for Microbial Symbiosis and Phragmites Management (PSC). Opportunities also exist for new strategies for managing Phragmites. Presently, the focus is on control after colonization rather than on the underlying cause of Phragmites&amp;#8217; rapid spread. There is evidence that Phragmites gains a competitive advantage over other native species due in part to its relationship with endophytic fungi. These endophytes may inhabit roots, stems, and seeds of Phragmites enabling it to be more aggressive than native species. If these relationships could be disrupted, Phragmites may not compete so aggressively for resources and native flora could dominate assemblages. Additionally, research suggests that native species can benefit from interactions with certain endophytes. If native plants could be inoculated with beneficial endophytes, the native plants could see benefits such as increased growth rates, seed production, and/or tolerance to drought. While these relationships are thought to exist, there is currently no coordinated research examining the ways in which the relationships can be disrupted to control Phragmites and harnessed to improve competitive outcomes of other plant species. Research into habitat restoration or invasive species control often occurs in a vacuum (i.e., individual researchers are isolated from one another aside from the occasional conference), which leads to research overlap, knowledge gaps, and a slow, incremental pace of answering practical questions. Creating a collaborative of scientists dedicated to a common goal will lead to thoughtful, organized, targeted research that will ultimately advance the science and practice of utilizing fungal relationships in restoration activities. In addition, an effective collaborative can maximize the collective impact of research efforts (i.e., produce an outcome not attainable from individual participants alone). USGS has been awarded funding through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to focus on Phragmites control in the region. The USGS is involved in and actively supporting research that advances the use of symbiotic-control mechanisms. This collaborative structure will ensure that individual research projects are supporting a specific purpose within the collective goal and will develop a web of communication and information sharing that could be an asset to individual projects. Initiative 3. Nutrients and Harmful Algal Blooms Collaborative. Harmful and Nuisance Algal Bloom (HAB) research and management is challenging because causes of HABs are dispersed in space and often disjunct from HABs occurrence. Meeting this challenge requires increased coordination across research areas and locations and a backbone boundary organization to ensure that coordination. We propose to establish a Great Lakes HABs collaborative to serve as the boundary space where critical scientific synthesis and translation can occur in support of regional HABS management. Building on similar approaches, notably the Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative, the Great Lakes Commission, already a boundary organization, will serve as the institutional backbone to support the HABs collaborative. Unlike the Phragmites Collaborative which is much broader in its endeavors, the HABS collaborative will maintain a principal focus on building science-based information sharing. Initiative 4. Invasive Mussels Collaborative. Invasive zebra and quagga mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and D. rostriformis bugensis, respectively) are causing significant ecological and economic damage as they spread from the Great Lakes across North America, from the Hudson River in the east to Lake Mead in the west. They clog water intake pipes, litter beaches with their sharp shells, disrupt established food webs, alter nutrient cycling in a way that harms native ecosystems, and contribute to other problems. An Integrated Pest Management approach and a collaborative science and communication framework are needed to address this issue. To accomplish this, a collective impact approach is being proposed, with the Great Lakes Commission acting as the &amp;#8220;backbone organization&amp;#8221; to lead the coordination, organization, and logistical needs of the Collaborative. As in #3 above, we envision the Great Lakes Invasive Mussels Collaborative serving as the boundary space where critical scientific synthesis and translation can occur in support of regional mussels management. </Description>

        <Description>The objectives of this project are to establish and enhance youth connections to the outdoors by educating them about stream ecology and riparian areas and encouraging them to become stewards of creeks in their communities. Through riparian education workshops for teachers, youth group leaders, and volunteers, educators will be introduced to the BLM&amp;apos;s Holding onto the Green Zone riparian module as well as other resources and tools that can be used to help young people explore concepts of stream ecology, learn about careers in natural resources, and develop their interest in community watershed stewardship. The principal public purpose of this project is to connect young people with the outdoors by engaging them in the study and stewardship of community riparian areas. This project serves several public purposes that have been designated as high priorities by the Secretary of the Interior&amp;#65533;helping to connect children with nature; educating them about vital natural resources, including treasured landscapes such as those of the National Landscape Conservation System, as well as how to protect and restore those resources and landscapes; and introducing young people to natural resource careers. By educating youth about riparian areas, the project will promote stewardship values and nurture future citizens who are informed participants in land management decision-making. The recipient will further enhance opportunities for young people to become experts on their local streams and to share that information with the public through an interactive website that allows participants to post data, photos, videos, and stories about their streams. The recipient also will provide opportunities for young people to share information about local streams and connect with other young people and natural resource professionals across the country through the use of social media. </Description>

        <Description>The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Network promotes, conducts, and provides research, technical assistance and education services nationwide in support of the missions of participating federal agencies and their partners concerning natural and cultural resource management on federal and/or private lands and waters. Each CESU project is cooperative, substantially involving and benefitting both federal and non-federal partners. A CESU project is consistent with the goals of the respective CESU which administers the project. The proposed agreement would incorporate the terms and conditions of the one of the following CESU Cooperative and Joint Venture Agreements -Californian master agreement L13AC00082 - to which the Bureau of Land Management is a party to. The established Network overhead charge is set at 17.5 percent. Prospective universities and non-governmental research organizations with membership in the CESUs are eligible to apply for funding under this announcement. Positive interactions in plant communities are particularly important in arid and semi-arid systems as they frequently shape patterns of diversity and localized productivity (Brooker and Callaway 2009, Butterfield 2009, Cavieres and Badano 2009, Cavieres and Badano 2010, Xiao, et al. 2009). Importantly, positive interactions can also lead to long-term evolutionary changes in the dynamics within a community (Bronstein 2009, Brooker, et al. 2008, Kikvidze and Callaway 2009, Thorpe, et al. 2011). The consequences of plant facilitation are however generally restricted to single trophic levels, to plant-plant interactions and not seeds, and to the study of direct interactions only (Brooker, et al. 2008, Lortie and Callaway 2009). These research gaps are not only intriguing but also relate to habitat restoration and a more inclusive perspective on the community-level effects of positive interactions for other organisms in addition to plants, such as the endangered blunt-nosed leopard lizard. Accordingly, facilitation in arid/semi-arid systems may have the capacity to mediate species loss within these systems and provide resilience to the structure and function of these communities.</Description>

This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on May 4, 2012, and continue through March 22, 2013. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 16, 2012. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system.

        <Description>The Bureau of Land Managements Cerberus Collection includes approximately 40,000 prehistoric southwestern archaeological resources forfeited to the U.S. Government as the result of Operation: Cerberus Action. Cerberus Action was a joint undercover investigation by the FBI and BLM that in 2009 successfully prosecuted 21 individuals for violations of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and numerous other statutes related to theft of property from federal and tribal lands. The Cerberus Collection is the U.S. government&amp;#65533;s largest single collection of museum property originating from the illegal looting and black market sale of archaeological resources. Because of the unusual circumstances by which the Cerberus Collection came under the care of the BLM, most materials in the collection do not have any supporting documentation regarding their in situ provenience or provenance. This lack of context regarding how these materials fit into the archaeological record is expected to limit much of the collection&amp;#65533;s research potential, and will therefore likely reduce the total number of objects that are ultimately identified for long-term accessioning in a DOI-approved repository. However, the collection still includes thousands of exhibit- and educational-quality materials that maintain a powerful story about respecting Native American&amp;#65533;s rich and ancient cultural heritage that can still be found on public lands today. The goal of this project is to establish a partnership that will assist the BLM Utah State Office to develop an interpretive plan for Cerberus Collection materials that have been identified for public access, including interpretative and educational uses. Objectives: Through the competitive partnership development process on Grants.gov, the BLM Utah State Office would enter into a partnership with an eligible entity to develop the Cerberus Collection Interpretive Plan. In collaboration with interested tribes, government agencies, organizations, and other stakeholders, the partner would develop an interpretive plan that will establish an interpretive theme and sub-themes related to how the collection can consistently inform the public about the ethical and scientific and cultural consequences of looting archaeological resources. </Description>

        <Description>The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Headquarters Region 7 intends to award a single source Cooperative Agreement as authorized by 505 DM 2.14 (B) to BioDiversity Research Institute. This notice is not a request for proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals. Award will be made 15 days after this notice. The Sea Duck Joint Venture (SDJV) is a conservation partnership under the auspices of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan with mission to improve our knowledge of sea ducks to facilitate more effective management and conservation. The SDJV and partners have embarked on a large scale, multi-year, collaborative project that will use satellite telemetry to document annual migration patterns, and to assess risk to sea ducks in specific areas in eastern North America. SDJV funding provides seed money to partners, which is matched with partner funding and resources, to accomplish mutual objectives. This transfer of Federal funds will allow the Recipient to conduct a study of sea ducks, as part of the SDJV&amp;#191;s Atlantic and Great Lakes Sea Duck Migration Study. Funds under this Cooperative Agreement award are to be used to support capture of sea ducks using specialized trapping techniques, marking birds with implantable satellite transmitters, and administering the acquisition of location data via the Argos system of satellites. The recipient is responsible for 1) all logistical arrangements for capture of ducks and surgical implantation of transmitters, including veterinary service, 2) downloading Argos data for transmitters they deploy, and 3) providing study partners with access to Argos accounts they establish to acquire location data from other transmitter deployments as part of the Atlantic and Great Lakes Sea Duck Migration Study. The Service&amp;#191;s role in this project is to provide overall design and technical guidance and administrative support to the recipientI via their participation in this cooperative project. The Service will also be providing satellite transmitters to the recipient. The Service requires annual and final reports and takes responsibility for making information from the study publically available via the SDJV&amp;#191;s web site, seaduckjv.org. This will help ensure that other stakeholders have access to the information in a timely manner, which will help improve the management and conservation of these birds on an international scale. Reports submitted by the recipient will include a summary of bird movements throughout the annual cycle, a description of key habitats used by marked ducks, and an assessment of site fidelity to wintering, staging, molting, and breeding sites. Information on bird migration patterns and habitat use will help improve the management and conservation of sea ducks in North America. This project will benefit a host of stakeholders, only one of which is the U.S. Federal Government. Information from this study is essential to the success of the Joint Venture and therefore of mutual benefit to the Service and other Joint Venture partners. This award will be a multi-year award to accommodate capture and tagging efforts in 2012 and subsequent years, as well as subsequent data acquisition over the anticipated 2-3 year life expectancy of transmitters </Description>

        <Description>The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan is pleased to announce an open competition to develop and broadcast the Men&amp;#8217;s National Cricket League. In 2014, PAS supported the development of the Sixers, a franchise-based cricket league in Afghanistan. This cooperative agreement will build on the 2014 program&amp;#8217;s success. The successful applicant will 1) organize, produce and TV broadcast the Sixers tournament, 2) train approximately two dozen Afghans in the production of professional sports broadcasts (specifically cricket) 3) develop positive messaging via multiple formats including Public Service Announcements (PSAs), social media, and stadium A-boards, and 4) develop a monitoring and evaluation (M&amp;amp;E) component to assess program progress and impact. At least five regional men&amp;#8217;s cricket teams should be formed to compete in a fall 2015 Sixers tournament. The league&amp;#8217;s next annual championship should occur in the fall of 2015, with a tournament held in Jalalabad or Kabul. The tournament should be broadcast throughout Afghanistan. As Afghanistan still lacks the equipment to film cricket games at international standards, this award may be used to buy or rent equipment, while providing film crews and on-air commentators additional capacity building. This award will also support activities to promote positive messages (e.g. messages of peace, tolerance, unity, reconciliation) through television, social media and other means. As a condition of this award, the grantee must work with OneTV, and details of the sub-award budget and activities must be included in the applicant&amp;#8217;s proposal. OneTV holds the broadcasting rights for the Sixers tournament and requires additional capacity building in order for the production and broadcast of the Sixers tournament to continue in future years. In 2014, part of the project supported limited training for OneTV broadcast staff and short-term film equipment rental.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Telehealth Network Grant Program (TNGP). The primary objective of the TNGP is to demonstrate how telehealth programs and networks can improve access to quality health care services in rural and underserved communities. Grants made under this authority will demonstrate how telehealth networks improve healthcare services for medically underserved populations in urban, rural, and frontier communities. TNGP networks are used to: (a) expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of health care services; (b) improve and expand the training of health care providers; and/or (c) expand and improve the quality of health information available to health care providers, and patients and their families, for decisionmaking. However, as noted below, because of legislative restrictions, grants will be limited to programs that serve rural communities, although grantees may be located in urban or rural areas. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the FSS program is to promote the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of assistance under the HCV and PH programs with public and private resources to enable participating families to increase earned income and financial literacy, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance, and make progress toward economic independence and self-sufficiency. PHAs ortribes/Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) that administer FSS programs enter into five-year contracts with new families on an ongoing basis. The FSS contract spells out the terms and conditionsgoverning participation and the responsibilities of both the PHA (or tribe/TDHE) and the family. As required by the FSS statute and regulations, each FSS program reflects local needs and resources. PHAsare not permitted to limit FSS participation to those families most likely to succeed because of current education level or job history.</Description>

        <Description>The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Headquarters Region 7 intends to award a single source Cooperative Agreement as authorized by 505 DM 2.14 (B) to the Pacific Wildlife Foundation. This notice is not a request for proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals. Award will be made 15 days after this notice. The Sea Duck Joint Venture (SDJV) is a conservation partnership under the auspices of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan with mission to improve our knowledge of sea ducks to facilitate more effective management and conservation. One of the SDJV&amp;#191;s highest research priorities is to delineate populations of North America sea ducks; i.e., to determine the links among breeding, wintering, molting, and staging areas. The SDJV and partners have been working collaboratively on such a project for Barrow&amp;#191;s Goldeneye since 2006. This study uses a satellite telemetry approach to document annual migration patterns on a large scale over several years. SDJV funding provides seed money to partners, which is matched with partner funding and resources, to accomplish mutual objectives. This transfer of Federal funds will allow the Recipient to conduct a study of sea ducks, as part of the SDJV&amp;#191;s study Migratory Patterns and Habitat Use of Pacific Barrow&amp;#191;s Goldeneye. Funds under this Cooperative Agreement award are to be used to support capture of sea ducks using specialized trapping techniques, marking birds with implantable satellite transmitters, and administering the acquisition of location data via the Argos system of satellites. The recipient is responsible for 1) all logistical arrangements for capture of ducks and surgical implantation of transmitters, including veterinary service, 2) downloading Argos data for transmitters they deploy, 4) providing SDJV partner USGS Patuxent with either raw Argos data for marked birds, or by providing account access to them, and 4) creating web-accessible maps illustrating the migratory patterns of marked birds. The Service&amp;#191;s role in this project is to 1) provide design and technical guidance and administrative support to the recipient via their participation in this cooperative project, 2) provide satellite transmitters to the recipient, 3) participate in the field portion of this study. The Service requires annual and final reports and takes responsibility for making information from the study publically available via the SDJV&amp;#191;s web site, seaduckjv.org. This will help ensure that other stakeholders have access to the information in a timely manner, which will help improve the management and conservation of these birds on an international scale. Reports submitted by the recipient will include a summary of bird movements throughout the annual cycle, a description of key habitats used by marked ducks, and an assessment of site fidelity to wintering, staging, molting, and breeding sites. Information on bird migration patterns and habitat use will help improve the management and conservation of sea ducks in North America. This project will benefit a host of stakeholders, including federal, state, and provincial wildlife management agencies, and non-government conservation organizations in both the U.S. and Canada. Information from this study is essential to the success of the Joint Venture and therefore of mutual benefit to the Service and other Joint Venture partners. This award will be a multi-year award to accommodate capture and tagging efforts in 2012 and subsequent years, as well as subsequent data acquisition over the anticipated 2-3 year life expectancy of transmitters. </Description>

        <Description>The Department of the Interior Youth Initiative is a focused effort to expand programs that engage, educate and employ youth from all backgrounds in exploring, connecting with, and preserving the shared natural and cultural resources on public lands. As part of this initiative, the Department aims to increase youth employment through its use of youth hiring authorities; leveraging partnerships; using a proactive targeted recruiting approach to build new environments and engage a talented corps of young people; and providing hands-on, meaningful work experiences. The purpose of the Department&amp;#12287;s employment efforts is to create the Next Generation of Conservation Leaders. OR/WA BLM aims to support the national goals by providing meaningful work opportunities for hundreds of young people so that they have a positive experience that directly contributes to conservation and that have lasting impacts on our Nation. The OR/WA BLM is seeking to partner with youth corps organizations throughout Oregon which serve young people from all backgrounds with a special emphasis on local youth working in their local communities. The meaningful work experience we are looking to provide includes: Well supervised; Hands-on tasks, Work that advances our mission; Include some compensation, preferably a salary; Long enough to be at a minimum of eighty (80) hours, ideally longer; and offers quality learning opportunities among our participating youth. Since 2010, OR/WA BLM Youth employment goals have been achieved largely through the continued implementation of the statewide Assistance Agreement with Oregon Youth Conservation Corps (OYCC), a state agency under the Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development responsible for working with all the youth corps organizations operating in Oregon. This partnership has resulted in a streamlined system for 1) allocating youth corps funds evenly across Oregon, 2) reaching numerous individual youth corps organizations operating throughout the State - including school, tribal, youth offender, and nonprofit organization crews, and 3) providing meaningful work to local youths in all 9 Oregon BLM Districts. The OYCC is a State agency, charged by the Legislature with the responsibility to protect, conserve, rehabilitate and improve the natural, historical and cultural resources of Oregon; and to increase educational, training and employment opportunities for youth, for the purpose of improving work skills, instilling work ethic and increasing employability &amp;#12287; all of which are mutual goals of the Federal government. Working together, OR/WA BLM and OYCC have furthered the Department of the Interior&amp;#12287;s Youth Initiative employment goals while also building social skills such as tolerance of diversity, team work, social responsibility, appreciation of the environment and personal development such as improved self-esteem. The OYCC Summer Conservation Corps (SCC) was established by the Oregon Legislature in 1987, to provide a program to increase education, training and employment opportunities for Oregon youth. The OYCC is able to facilitate strong connections between the youth corps organizations and the BLM to achieve positive work experiences, work skills, personal responsibility, commitment to education and future employment for youth. The objective of this program is to partner with an agency or organization that has the ability to coordinate separate summer youth employment programs within each of the OR/WA BLM&amp;#12287;s 9 Oregon Districts in order to serve young people from all backgrounds with a special emphasis on local youth working in their local communities. These summer youth employment programs are to provide Oregon youth, including underserved populations, with meaningful, paid work opportunities, on public lands within their local community in order to instill a sense of shared stewardship, and provide them with education about the importance of public land resources while developing their skills for engaging in outdoor activities in a safe and low impact manner and increasing their awareness and application of conservation ethics.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is soliciting proposals from eligible parties for an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cooperative agreement to provide financial assistance to an eligible organization to provide education, training, resources, and technical assistance to increase Integrated Pest Management (IPM) implementation in kindergarten to 12th grade (K-12) public and tribal schools nationwide. IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests that combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks. The grantee will conduct a national program, using their existing organizational structure and established relationships with school districts throughout the US, to further IPM adoption by schools. EPA encourages projects that utilize consortia, partnerships, and other collaborative means of conducting the project. However, the project must not propose to engage pest management firms as primary collaborators. The grantee may utilize existing EPA approved school IPM educational materials. Proposed projects must conform to applicable state and/or tribal pesticide requirements and regulations.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this new FOA is to complete the work of PS12-1212, which was to adapt the Project Connect health systems intervention to better target adolescent males, particularly African American and Latino males in urban areas. By identifying providers who are meeting the sexual and reproductive health care needs of young men and creating a guide and a system for connecting young men to those providers, this FOA will result in increased access to and use of care by young men, increased identification and treatment of new STD cases, and increased identification and referral of new HIV cases. </Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), is offering a funding opportunity for research to quantify the effects of recent wetland mitigation efforts in the GYE on amphibian and invertebrate communities. To compare natural, relatively pristine wetlands to recently constructed wetlands and to wetlands that have sustained impacts from road construction activity. To identify wetland design features that support a maximum diversity of amphibian and invertebrate species, thus improving future wetland mitigation efforts. To accomplish this, focus on two main objectives: 1) Compare species richness and community composition of amphibians and aquatic invertebrates among constructed, impacted, and natural wetlands; and 2) Compare amphibian recruitment in constructed wetlands and natural wetlands to determine if the former act as ecological traps. The study area will focus specifically on the 62km reconstruction of U.S. Highway 26-287 over Togwotee Pass between Dubois and Moran, Wyoming.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on the distribution of California red-legged frogs (Rana draytonii) in timberlands near the northern limit of their range. California red-legged frogs are endemic to California and the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico, and are federally listed as Threatened. Although California red-legged frog ecology is relatively well-studied in grazed lands along the central California coast, little is known about the distribution and habitat use of California red-legged frogs in forested habitats. California red-legged frogs occur in forested habitats at the northern limit of their range, and knowledge of their distribution in these habitats would inform timber management practices to minimize risk to these populations. Because the study area is very near and within the area of overlap with northern red-legged frogs (Rana aurora), the study will also examine the distribution of this morphologically and ecologically similar species. This funding opportunity is to develop genetic assays specific to California and northern red-legged frogs, extract DNA from nitrocellulose filters, and determine the presence of California and northern red-legged frog DNA in samples using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) methods.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to increase our understanding of kelp forest ecosystems. For instance, we wish to determine how marine communities (specifically kelp plants) respond to environmental variation. Two specific goals of interest are (1) determine the distribution of wave period and amplitude across the study region of the nearshore environments off the central California coast by using in-situ wave sensors in kelp forests, and (2) determine how wave model predictions compare to empirical observations field observations and the predicted wave energy from the CDIP Nowcast models. This comparison will indicate the extent that CDIP Nowcast models provide accurate wave energy information from BOEM and the extent to which they need to be corrected for future ecological analyses.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for project titled: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Tidal marsh elevation response to long-term fertilization and impacts for resilience to sea level rise&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;. Many coastal areas are vulnerable to the direct effects of global warming, depending on the ability of coastal wetlands to maintain elevation relative to rising sea level. The preservation and accumulation of organic carbon in sediments is recognized to be an important mechanism by which many coastal wetlands keep pace with rising sea level. Low nutrient loadings are a characteristic of many coastal wetlands and this suggests that nutrient availability may be a determinant of organic carbon preservation and maintenance of coastal wetland elevation in the face of sea level rise. The carbon balance of soils is the product of a complex set of parallel processes with both positive and negative effects. Increased nutrient loading decreases the proportion of production allocated to roots and may increase the mineralization of organic carbon, but it also stimulates total primary production. There is a need to understand the effects of increased nutrient loadings at a broad geographical scale on the carbon balance of sediments and wetland elevation dynamics. The evaluation of wetland response to nutrient addition should also be used to provide insights about the ability of increased production to offset the effects of rising sea level. Products should include statistical and modeling evaluations of long-term fertilization experiments at broad latitudinal scales and a better understanding of the simultaneous effects of fertilization on different wetland processes.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research investigating the cascading effects of climate change on riparian and stream-dependent organisms. Climate change is expected to add drought stress to riparian and aquatic ecosystems of the Upper Rio Grande. As snowfall in the headwaters decreases and snowmelt occurs earlier, early summer river flows are predicted to decrease, resulting in lower flows, aquatic habitat fragmentation, and deeper groundwater through diminished recharge of aquifers. This can be expected to have cascading effects on riparian and stream-dependent organisms, and potentially lead to increases in exotic plants.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Telehealth Resource Center Grant Program (TRCGP). The purpose of the TRCGP is to support the establishment and development of Telehealth Resource Centers (TRCs). The TRCGP expects to create centers of excellence that expedite and customize the provision of telehealth technical assistance across the country, while at the same time working together to make available a wide range of expertise that might not be available in any one region. The TRCs provide technical assistance to health care organizations, health care networks, and health care providers in the implementation of cost-effective telehealth programs to serve rural and medically underserved areas and populations. The program seeks entities with proven successful records in providing technical assistance in the development of sustainable telehealth programs. This funding cycle will support up to five Regional TRCs (RTRCs) serving as focal points for advancing the effective use of telehealth technologies in their respective communities and regions for clinical care. In addition, this funding cycle will support two National TRCs (NTRCs). They will have a national scope and will work with the RTRCs to support their efforts. One National TRC will focus on providing specialized technical assistance in telehealth technology. The other National TRC will focus on policy issues such as: physician and nurse licensure, credentialing and privileging, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, and private insurance payment policies. It is the goal of OAT to have every state covered by a TRC. In this funding cycle, states that will not have coverage, and OAT seeks applicants for, include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York (Western, Central, and Southern), North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. OAT expects all funded TRCs to collaborate with each other, sharing expertise and resources, thereby creating a network of resource centers with the ample tools needed to meet the technical assistance demands in their respective regions and across the nation. </Description>

        <Description>This FOA will help advance the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, by evaluating STD program models that use DIS workforce to improve HIV outcomes, particularly those related to identification of new HIV cases, linkage and re-engagement in HIV care, and linkage and referral to HIV prevention services, including PrEP. This FOA helps address the need to advance National HIV/AIDS Strategy goals related to identifying people with HIV, linking and re-engaging them in care (US NHAS 2010), and to advance HIV prevention through use of Pre-Exposure and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP). The intervention to be evaluated under this proposal is the deployment of the skilled Disease Investigation Specialist (DIS) workforce to focus on these HIV outcomes in their routine interactions with people at high risk of HIV. For decades, state and local STD programs have supported Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS) to conduct partner services and various other critical public health functions. DIS are specialized public health outreach workers who concentrate on finding, counseling, and bringing STD-infected persons and their contacts to testing and treatment. The work of the DIS is intensive, and can involve confidentially visiting persons at home, on the streets, or in any location where the patient might be found. DIS are experts at eliciting sexual and other contacts from patients, as well as at using databases and other available resources in order to both locate patients and link them with medical care. In doing this, they are very familiar with the communities in which they operate, including relevant provider and CBO networks in those communities.Through this work, DIS have long served as gateways to HIV services for their clients. It is well-established that STD infection among some populations, particularly men-who-have-sex-with-men, is a marker of increased risk for HIV. For this reason, clinical guidelines have recommended testing STD patients for HIV for decades, and partner services guidelines recommend HIV testing of patients and their partners as well. Risk reduction counseling, education and referrals to HIV prevention and care services, and to other medical and social services, are part and parcel of DIS&amp;#8217; work with patients and their contacts or partners. While HIV has been a part of the work of DIS for a long time, it has been heightened and enhanced in recent years due to various convergent forces, including 1) release of the US National HIV/AIDS Strategy, 2) release of new guidelines for PrEP, 3) increases in information technology capacity at the health department and clinic levels, 4) closer integration of programs at the health department level, and 5) data demonstrating the extent of both co-infection of STDs and HIV (particularly for syphilis). Today, many programs are exploring new ways to build upon these opportunities and use DIS to extend their public health contributions. In some areas, this workforce is beginning to devote even more time towards HIV case identification, linkage to pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV (PrEP), linkage to HIV care, and re-engagement in HIV care. As promising as this model seems, however, not much is known or documented about how best to implement this enhanced approach within state and local health department contexts, and what the costs/benefits are for patients and program. Under this FOA, a select number of STD programs across the country will conduct process and outcome evaluations of their strategies that deploy DIS to improve various HIV outcomes. This multi-site evaluation will assess the effectiveness of integrating HIV outcomes into DIS work and will identify practical lessons for further implementation in those areas and in settings nationwide that are considering similar shifts. </Description>

Box 140 Gustavus, Alaska 99826 Phone: 907-697-2623 Fax: 907-697-2654 Email: lewis_sharman@nps.gov OVERVIEW The problem of ocean acidification is one of the most significant threats currently facing marine and coastal systems. This is true globally, but is of greater concern for the planet&amp;#8217;s cold, well-mixed waters. At higher latitudes, increases in pH are projected to be most extreme because of naturally low carbonate ion concentrations owing to increased CO2 solubility, the sensitivity of acid-base dissociation coefficients at low temperatures, and ocean mixing patterns. Moreover, many of these areas, including Glacier Bay, support the most biologically productive marine systems on earth. To the extent that there is uncertainty about the magnitude of impacts, it is due only to a lack of information on present pH levels and pH dynamics. The issue has recently become the subject of intense focus, as researchers and managers begin to appreciate that current and projected increases in ocean acidity may well disrupt marine food webs, with far-reaching consequences connected to freshwater and terrestrial systems and wildlife. Stories on the threats of ocean acidification appear in major news outlets with increasing frequency, and the National Park Service (NPS) at Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is uniquely positioned to continue making a major contribution to our understanding of how this threat will manifest in the marine food web, given recent work surveying the current extent, duration, and intensity of ocean acidification events in Glacier Bay proper. Understanding the threat to the marine food web is the next critical step in ensuring that the NPS can meet our mission of preserving and protecting the world-renown biological resources of Glacier Bay and all coastal NPS units. The NPS and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks (UAF) will collaborate to conduct a research project to better understand the effects that ocean acidification may be having on Glacier Bay&amp;#8217;s marine zooplankton species and populations. This involves three-year study of field sampling and development of a conceptual model to describe tropic linkages between nearshore coastal marine biological communities and associated physic-chemical dynamics of the environment. The model will be broadly applicable to Alaskan coastal park units, with the primary purpose being to enable managers to identify components of their coastal systems having the greatest need of additional understanding of the impacts of acidification on ocean resources. Outcomes of this project will include the education of M.S.-level graduate student, and several informational reports, presentations, and publications aimed at a variety of audiences across a range of technical interests, from the general public to academic researchers. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The NPS and UAF will collaborate to test the hypothesis that large spatial gradients in aragonite saturation states, particularly in summer and fall, will be manifested in zooplankton stocks throughout Glacier Bay; some species, particularly pteropods (planktonic marine snails that comprise a key food resource for organisms higher on the food chain) will show signs of shell dissolution in summer months, when aragonite saturation states are at their lowest. The NPS and UAF will accomplish this by jointly undertaking a series of ocean surveys throughout Glacier Bay at all seasons to simultaneously collect samples of seawater and marine zooplankton; these samples will be analyzed in the laboratory to characterize water chemistry and the zooplankton community. Those data will then be synthesized to understand the impacts that ocean acidification is having on zooplankton at different locations, seasons, and depths. Additionally, the NPS will support UAF in development of a conceptual model of ocean acidification and marine biological community components for Glacier Bay that describes how ocean acidification influences marine ecosystem structure and composition. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Collaboratively undertake a project titled &amp;#8220;Assessing the Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Plankton Populations in Glacier Bay&amp;#8221; as described in the Task Agreement. 2. Appoint Russell Hopcroft, Ph.D. as Principal Investigator (PI). 3. Appoint a graduate student (name TBD) to work on the project. 4. Participate (graduate student) directly in regularly-scheduled fall, mid-winter, spring, and mid-summer oceanographic surveys, sampling seawater and plankton from discrete depths at &amp;#8220;core stations&amp;#8221; as described in the Task Agreement. 5. Provide (except for the CTD and associated SBE 55 ECO water sampler) sampling equipment (e.g., plankton net) and field supplies necessary to conduct the project. 6. Provide for shipping of equipment, supplies, and samples to and from Glacier Bay. 7. Provide for laboratory analyses of seawater (chemical) and zooplankton (biological) samples as described in the Task Agreement. 8. Integrate the results of seawater chemical analyses and zooplankton biological analyses to determine patterns in the biological response to seawater conditions. Provide to the NPS an annual report (the IAR referenced below) outlining major findings and comparing results to historical datasets to better understand local and regional trends in ocean acidification and its impact(s) on zooplankton species/ populations and marine food webs. Data will be evaluated in the contexts of both the dynamics of this unique glacial fjord system and its connection to larger waters and processes observed in other areas of the North Pacific. 9. Provide a final major synthesis of the above, in the form of a M.S. graduate thesis. Additionally provide the following: 1) a presentation of the project at the Alaska Marine Science Symposium; 2) at least one peer-reviewed journal article; 3) required once-yearly Investigator&amp;#8217;s Annual Reports (IARs); 4) a brief (two-page) &amp;#8220;Research Highlight&amp;#8221; summary of the project suitable for distribution to non-scientists and the general public; 5) a comprehensive NPS-published Natural Resources Report (NRR); and 6) an article submitted to one or both of the NPS publications Park Science or Alaska Park Science. 10. Develop a conceptual model of ocean acidification focusing on trophic linkages between nearshore coastal biological communities and nearshore coastal dynamics, with particular consideration of the physio-chemical characteristics and biology found in Alaskan national parks, as described in the Task Agreement. The model will take the form of a digital file containing the conceptual model visualization and the associated detailed written description. This conceptual model will be described in a standalone Research Highlight (see above). Additionally, it will be incorporated in the above-referenced IARs, NRR, and Park Science/Alaska Park Science publication(s). Alternatively, the model can be presented in standalone IARs/NRR/NPS Park Science publications. 11. While present in the park, provide at least one oral presentation of updated project plans and results to park staff and/or park visitors(s) annually. 12. Ensure that all products (presentations, reports, papers) acknowledge NPS support and that the project was conducted through the Alaska CESU and reference this Task Agreement number. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial Involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Provide financial assistance to UAF as indicated in Attachment B to the Task Agreement. 2. Appoint Lewis Sharman, Ecologist, as Project Manager and Agreement Technical Representative (ATR). 3. Work collaboratively with UAF to review, evaluate, and adapt project progress and goals. 4.

The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications UAF Principal Investigator Dr. Russell Hopcroft and co-Principal Investigator Dr. Jeremy Mathis are both uniquely qualified to collaborate with the NPS on this project. Dr. Hopcroft has long research experience in Gulf of Alaska waters and is an expert in zooplankton/marine food webs. He has led and participated in numerous multi-disciplinary research projects focusing on the role of zooplankton in marine trophic structure. Co-PI Mathis directs the Ocean Acidification Research Center (OARC) at UAF, a world-renown center for cutting-edge ocean acidification research, particularly in the North Pacific. He also heads the Ocean Environment Research Division of NOAA&amp;#8217;s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, specializing in ocean acidification studies. In particular, Dr. Mathis recently oversaw, through UAF, a multi-year ocean acidification research project at Glacier Bay that characterized spatio-temporal patterns of ocean acidification and described the influence of glacial meltwater on the alkalinity of the Bay&amp;#8217;s seawater. This important study laid the physico-chemical groundwork for the next logical step of understanding how the marine biological community is shaped by acidifying ocean waters. These two scientists are leaders in their respective fields, and their combined expertise uniquely positions them to carry out the work described in this Task Agreement. </Description>

Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council (CIRCAC), established under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, has been the driving force behind improved oil spill prevention and response measures for Cook Inlet, based on their legal mandates for improving marine transportation and facility operations in Cook Inlet. This agreement with Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council advances the public purpose of maintaining healthy Cook Inlet intertidal ecosystems by bringing historical data on intertidal work in Western Cook Inlet together and making it easily publicly accessible via a public website (Alaska Ocean Observing System - AOOS), and supporting additional intertidal surveys, analyses, and reporting. The National Park Service is already engaged in gathering historical information on marine intertidal and subtidal invertebrate surveys in western Cook Inlet, and conducting additional surveys in the intertidal and subtidal areas near National Park units in lower Cook Inlet. Because of the extensive expertise of the CIRCAC Science and Research staff in conducting intertidal field operations in Cook Inlet, their development of the Cook Inlet Response Tool with AOOS, and their historical data associated with intertidal surveys, the National Park Service project operations will integrate with ongoing CIRCAC developments to improve response capabilities throughout Cook inlet, and provide an opportunity for the National Park Service to cohesively integrate with ongoing and historical studies on the region. Benthic invertebrates and their habitats are susceptible to effects from industry exploration and development activities. The subtidal invertebrates and habitats adjacent to the oil and gas operations are particularly susceptible to oil spills and updated information, particularly in western Cook Inlet, is needed to more fully project impacts from a potential oil spill in Cook Inlet. Previous research on intertidal and subtidal habitats in Cook Inlet includes the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) begun in 1975, as well as work done by the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council (CIRCAC) in 2000. Subtidal and intertidal communities are an important conduit of energy, nutrients, and pollutants between terrestrial and marine environments; provide resources for subsistence, sport, and commercial harvests; and are important for recreational activities such as wildlife viewing and fishing. Changes in the structure of the intertidal community serve as valuable indicators of disturbance, both natural and human induced. Further, changes in overall and relative abundance of intertidal species may have serious consequences for the bird and mammal species that forage in nearshore areas. Marine bivalves (clams, mussels, and chitons) are subsistence species for Alaska residents. Native communities in Port Graham and Nanwalek have noted a substantial decline in shellfish populations and have expressed concern over the potential loss or contamination of subsistence resources. Bivalves are ubiquitous and critical components of the nearshore intertidal environment, and have been used widely as sentinels in monitoring programs. Community monitoring for bivalves for potential contaminants would be an important component to address concerns about release of contaminants, most notably polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), into the environment. It is important to improve our understanding of the extent and details of benthic habitat that support subsistence resources; hydrocarbon loads in these resources; and the sources and extent of local contamination, particularly those where subsistence harvest continues. This study will be a collaborative approach to provide a better understanding of invertebrate biota including distribution, habitat, densities, productivity and larval transport of marine bivalves.

        <Description> This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS01029 Project Title Large Fires in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park &amp;amp; Preserve: Fire History, Dendroecology, and Climatic Controls Recipient University of Idaho Total Anticipated Award Amount 11000 Cost Share 0 Anticipated Length of Agreement 2 years Anticipated Period of Performance 2 years Award Instrument CESU Task Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC &amp;#167;101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#8211; Resources of the National Park System Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Continuation Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW The project entitled &amp;#8220;Large fires in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park &amp;amp; Preserve: fire history, dendroecology, and climatic controls&amp;#8221; is a collaborative project between the National Park Service (NPS) and the University of Idaho (UI) to analyze tree rings (dendroecology) to assess age and growth patterns of trees related to climate and past fires. In places where wildfires are episodic and occasionally very large, understanding the factors that result in large fires is important for managing wildfires and planning for the future. In 2011, the NPS fire program conducted a fuels (vegetation) reduction project in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST) adjacent to the remote community of McCarthy, Alaska, to provide defensible space in the event of a wildfire. Evidence of an old fire, burned trees and logs, were common at the site. Tree cross-section samples were collected from a subset of live cut trees (133 samples) in 2011. For this project, tree ring analyses will be conducted on the tree cross sections that were cut in 2011, and on additional samples to be collected in 2016 from the WRST fuels reduction site. The analysis will compare tree ring growth patterns to climate datasets in the past to determine if there are significant relationships among tree growth rings, climate records, and large fire years in this area. Expected products include a final report, and interpretive samples of the tree ring cross-sections and a fact sheet about the project for use at the WRST visitor centers for public interpretation about fire and dendrochronology in WRST. Understanding the potential for large fires and factors influencing past fire events (weather/climate or vegetation) is important for preparing and planning for future large fire events. The main goals of the study are to use tree rings to map out tree establishment at the study site, and to compare past climate records and fire records to determine if climate or vegetation or both are likely to result in future large fires in this region.

        <Description>Background: The Sustainable Rangeland Roundtable is a continuing project that has resulted in the development of criteria and indicators for conservation and sustainable management of biological, social, and economic values of both public and private rangelands. The project is currently focused on communicating the outcomes and recommendations from a workshop held in June 2014 to discuss future directions of useable science for sustainable rangelands, including conserving the values of rangeland ecosystem goods and services. The workshop included ranchers, university scientists, agency personnel and non-governmental organizations (NGO). Objectives: The BLM wishes to provide support for creating handouts and developing briefings and presentations to communicate the results of the workshop to policy makers, agency leaders and NGO representatives. Briefings and presentations would include identifying and providing information about existing and needed useable science for assessing and maintaining soil health, vegetation, water, animal and socio-economic characteristics of rangelands. Public Benefit: The communication of roundtable workshop outcomes and recommendations will provide the opportunity for improved public policy making, better decisions that improve the value of ecosystem services from public and private rangelands, and improved public awareness of science that is used to make management choices that sustain rangelands and its uses.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory has been investigating the economic feasibility of recovery of Rare Earth Elements from domestic United States coal and coal byproducts. The National Energy Technology Laboratory has characterized a number of Rare Earth Elements bearing samples of coal and coal related materials, with the associated results and reports publicly posted at the website listed in Section I Background of the Funding Opportunity Announcement. Information on coal related Rare Earth Element sources and concentrations may also be obtained through the United States Geological Service website listed in Section I Background of the Funding Opportunity Announcement and State Geological Surveys. Rare Earth Elements have been generally found in varying concentrations ranging up to 1,000 parts per million by weight of mixed total Rare Earth Elements in the following coal-related materials in the United States: coal mine roof and floor materials, run of mine coal, prepared coal, partings, pit cleanings, coal preparation refuse, and tailings. Rare Earth Elements can be found in coal byproducts, including ash, coal related sludge, and,or mine drainage. Certain coals can contain a higher ratio of heavy, generally more valuable, Rare Earth Elements to light Rare Earth Elements than found in other sources of Rare Earth Elements, such as natural Rare Earth Element ores. Given the potentially low Rare Earth Element concentrations in the feed materials, and subsequent potentially low yield of Rare Earth Element concentrate from any separation process, minimizing costs is a key challenge. Physical and chemical separations may be useful in recovering Rare Earth Elements from coal and coal byproducts. The forms in which Rare Earth Elements are present in these materials could drive the design of separation processes. As part of its continuing investigation, the National Energy Technology Laboratory is seeking financial assistance applications for projects to quickly develop bench scale and pilot scale projects for recovering Rare Earth Elements from coal and coal byproducts as follows: Area of Interest 1 Bench scale Technology to Economically Separate, Extract, and Concentrate Mixed Rare Earth Elements from Coal and Coal Byproducts including Aqueous Effluents. Area of Interest 2 Pilot scale Technology to Economically Separate, Extract, and Concentrate Mixed Rare Earth Elements from Coal and Coal Byproduct Solids. </Description>

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS01024 Project Title Effects of Infanticide Risk on Brown Bear Resource Selection in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Alaska Recipient Mississippi State University Principle Investigator / Program Manager Jerrold Belant Total Anticipated Award Amount $65,735 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? New Anticipated Length of Agreement 2.5 Years Anticipated Period of Performance 8/30/15 &amp;#8211; 12/30/2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54USC&amp;#167;100702 Cooperative Studies Units: The Secretary shall enter into cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, including land grant schools, in partnership with other Federal and State agencies, to establish cooperative study units to conduct multi-disciplinary research and develop integrated information products on the resources of the System, or the larger region of which System units are a part. CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#8211; Resources of the National Park System (CESU) Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW Lake Clark National Park Preserve (LACL) was established to &amp;#8220;protect habitat for and populations of fish and wildlife.&amp;#8221; Bristol Bay is world renown for large sockeye salmon runs and brown bears fill an essential ecological role by transferring marine derived nutrients from salmon into terrestrial ecosystems. Within this extremely productive ecosystem, brown bears reach some of the highest densities in the world. High densities combined with predictable concentrations at food sources make brown bears a prime species for wildlife viewing. Bear viewing is the most popular activity for visitors to LACL, and sport/subsistence hunting of brown bears is economically and culturally important for visitors and local residents. External to the park&amp;#8217;s boundary a number of proposed resource development projects have raised concerns regarding potential impacts to brown bears and other wildlife. To date, no data exist on demographics, movement patterns, or ecology of brown bears in LACL, limiting NPS&amp;#8217; assessment of potential impacts from resource development. Shifting resource availability and bear movement patterns have implications for their ability to respond to changes in habitat quality and prey availability. This project will assess resource selection and denning ecology of brown bears within LACL. These data will improve our understanding of the ecological niche of brown bears, our ability to assess potential impacts of the proposed development, and management of bear hunting and bear viewing activities by visitors and local residents. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Investigators from MSU and NPS staff will collaborate to accomplish the following specific objectives. 1) Estimate seasonal and annual space use of radio-collared brown bears 2) Determine extent of landscape heterogeneity and seasonal resource availability. 3) Estimate relative influence of temporal and spatial resource availability on brown bear space use. 4) Determine den-site selection of radio-collared brown bears, emphasizing potential risk of infanticide. 5) Determine potential spatial segregation between den sites of male and female bears, particularly females with dependent young. 6) Determine potential temporal segregation between den entrance and exit dates for male and female bears, particularly females with dependent young. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT MSU will use animal location data to determine the seasonal and annual home range size of radio-collared brown bears and how the landscape heterogeneity and seasonal resource availability their affect their area use. Brown bear den site selection will be assessed with a focus on the spatial segregation of male and female dens and the potential risk of infanticide for females with dependent young. Data on den entrance and emergence dates for male and female bears will be analyzed to assess the potential of temporal segregation to prevent encounters between male bears and females with dependent young. MSU will complete the final project report and draft two manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: NPS will be fully engaged in all stages of the discussions in support of this project as we see it meeting a critical need for LACL. Specifically, we will participate in all stages of this project including study design, logistic planning, data and model analyses, and report and publication preparation. NPS will provide bear location data that will be used in spatial and temporal analyses of bear movements, resource selection, denning locations, and home range size. NPS will provide GIS (geographic information system) data on landscape features in LACL. Additionally, NPS will support and organize internal and external opportunities for the results of this project to be shared with bear management agencies both regionally and more broadly, park staff, local subsistence users, and the general public. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS- The National Park Service and Mississippi State University entered into a CESU Agreement recently to model and evaluate metrics that assess population dynamics of brown bears along the coastal portions of Lake Clark and Katmai National Parks. This research was initiated to aid the NPS in its management decision making process given challenging mandates to maintain natural processes while providing opportunities for subsistence harvest, wildlife viewing and photography. In response to a specific information need regarding management of brown bears in LACL, park staff began a three-year bear ecology study to evaluate population demographics, resource use, and territory size. Collaboration between NPS and Mississippi State University for both the LACL / Katmai coastal brown bear modeling project and the LACL brown bear ecology project would greatly benefits both projects. The LACL brown bear project would provide an ideal, area-specific opportunity to apply empirical data to models being developed by Mississippi State University, thus allowing for further refinement of model assumptions. Additionally, project collaborators would have access to population dynamic models that would expand the area of inference for the LACL brown bear ecology study beyond its current area of focus. The congruent nature of these two projects allows NPS and Mississippi State University staff to use data from each project to refine project products &amp;#8216;on the fly.&amp;#8217; The PI, Dr. Jerrold Belant, was chosen for his research interest in carnivore ecology and management and his experience working with bear species in North America. Dr. Belant conducted his doctoral research on brown and black bears at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and has continued to explore bear resource selection, denning ecology, and other aspects of their ecology.

Highly seasonal environments such as those in arctic and alpine areas are expected to be strongly affected by climate change, and changing plant phenology could have strong repercussions on recruitment in mountain sheep whose reproduction is closely linked to vegetation green-up. This project will use existing spatial data for Dall&amp;#8217;s sheep to model resource selection in combination with climate models to identify vulnerable populations in Alaska&amp;#8217;s National Parks.STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLANObjectives1. Model resource selection for Dall&amp;#8217;s sheep within Alaska National Parks using traditional and bioclimatic variables.2. Use climatic models and resource selection data to assess Dall&amp;#8217;s sheep response to projected changes in climate. 3. Determine the vulnerability of park sheep populations to predicted climate induced habitat changes.RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENTThe recipient will:1. Use animal location data to evaluate habitat selection and develop space use models that include bioclimatic variables along with more classic habitat variables. 2. Evaluate movement patterns at different temporal scales in relation to bioclimatic variables. 3. Model bioclimatic envelope under future scenarios, and use results from the best model(s) of resource selection that include bioclimatic variables to predict animal responses. 4. Project changes in availability and distribution of habitats under climate change scenarios, and examine loss or expansion of habitats used by sheep within parks.5. Complete annual and final accomplishment reports, final completion report, and draft 2 manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENTSubstantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Providing Dall&amp;#8217;s sheep location data from Alaska National Parks.2. Providing geographic information system data on landscape features in Alaska National Parks.3. Provide site-specific ecological knowledge that is critical to the development and assessment of modelling efforts4. Assist in the preparation and review of models, reports, and manuscripts.SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATIONDEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIORSINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTSDepartment of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award.

        <Description> This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS01070 Project Title KEFJ Centennial Mural Recipient Seward Arts Council Total Anticipated Award Amount $20,000.00 Cost Share 50% Anticipated Length of Agreement 1 year Anticipated Period of Performance 1 year Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.406 National Park Service Centennial Challenge Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Unique Qualifications Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW At the tip of the Kenai Peninsula, the 600,000 acre Kenai Fjords National Park hugs the rugged coastline, encompassing ice&amp;#64257;elds and receding glaciers, marine and coastal habitats, mountains and fjords. The headquarters for the park is based out of Seward, AK. Sandwiched between the Kenai Mountains and the waters of Kenai Fjords National Park, Seward is one of Alaska&amp;apos;s oldest and most scenic communities. A spectacular 2.5 hour drive south from Anchorage brings you to this seaside community, the mural capitol of Alaska, and a gateway for Kenai Fjords National Park. The murals of Seward were created through collaboration with Alaska artists, youth, and community volunteers. There are currently over twenty murals located throughout Seward. Seward, AK hosts over one million visitors annually. Visitors to Seward and the Kenai Peninsula arrive by train, car, or cruise ship. Many will explore Seward&amp;#8217;s downtown business on Fourth Avenue or visit the Alaska SeaLife Center. Many visitors are not aware of the presence of Kenai Fjords National Park and its national significance. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The objective of this Agreement is to coordinate the design, creation and installation of a Kenai Fjords National Park mural to celebrate the Centennial of the National Park Service and to revise and print the Walking Tour of the Murals of Seward brochure. This Agreement with the Seward Art Council will provide the National Park Service with the expertise needed to mobilize community volunteers for a mural project. The Seward Arts Council has completed over twenty murals in the Seward community, earning Seward, AK the distinction of the mural capitol of Alaska. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Work with a master artist to design a mural communicating the significance of Kenai Fjords National Park, titled Where Mountains, Ice, and Ocean Meet. 2. Purchase aluminum panels and supplies for painting of mural. 3. Coordinate volunteers and provide oversight for painting of mural at Seward Music &amp;amp; Arts Festival. 4. Create donor recognition board 5. Revise Walking Tour: Seward Mural Capital of Alaska brochure to include KEFJ Centennial mural. 6. Install mural. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT 1. Provide input and feedback on mural design. 2. Provide staff at Seward Arts Council&amp;#8217;s Seward Music &amp;amp; Arts Festival to communicate the mural project. 3. Provide input and feedback on donor recognition board. 4. Review Walking Tour: Seward Mural Capital of Alaska brochure&amp;#8217;s Kenai Fjords National Park section. 5. Provide oversight and specifications for the installation of the mural. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION This project is for the design, creation, and installation of a community mural. The mural, titled Where Mountains, Ice, and Ocean Meet will illustrate the purpose and significance of Kenai Fjords National Park. The location of the mural is in downtown Seward and highly visible to the over one million visitors to Seward annually. The creation of the mural is meant to bring together youth volunteers and artists to enrich the downtown area of Seward and celebrate the National Park Service Centennial. Funding for this project leverages Alaska Geographic donation funds with matching federal dollars through Centennial Cost Challenge fund source. Although this project is for the design and creation of a mural &amp;#8211; it is as much about community outreach and building good will with the gateway community of Seward as it is about the acquisition of a finished mural for Kenai Fjords National Park. The Seward Mural Society, part of the non-profit Seward Arts Council, has worked with a variety of public and private entities, and community groups to design, create, and install over twenty murals in Seward &amp;#8211; making Seward the Mural Capitol of Alaska. No other entity has the ability to mobilize the community in this type of effort let alone the knowledge, expertise, and resources to complete this project as it is envisioned.

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number P15AS01022 Project Title Mapping Lichen Cover and Biomass in the Western Caribou Arctic Herd Home Range Recipient University of Maine-Fort Kent Principle Investigator / Program Manager Peter Neitlich Acting Chief of Natural Resources/Ecologist National Park Service 41A Wandling Road Winthrop, WA 98862 (509) 996-3917 Peter_Neitlich@nps.gov Total Anticipated Award Amount $31,119.16 Cost Share $29,000 New Award or Continuation?

As lichens are the primary winter forage for caribou, habitat changes resulting in lower lichen abundance may play an important role. Across boreal and arctic zones, lichen cover is expected to decrease due to increased fire frequency and extent and shrub encroachment, which are both in part attributed to increasing average summer temperatures. Assessing the role of lichen abundance in caribou habitat selection is a critical first step towards understanding whether the WACH population decline is linked to forage reductions. The Northwest Arctic Borough (NAB) includes residents from twelve local communities that depend heavily for their sustenance on the subsistence hunting of caribou from this herd. NAB received funding from Shell to study subsistence resources in the vicinity of Shell&amp;#8217;s outer continental shelf oil development leases, and decided upon caribou and their habitat as one of their focal research topics. NPS agreed to help NAB locate researchers to investigate caribou winter range forage conditions. Since NPS&amp;#8217;s Arctic Network (ARCN) has vegetation data to lend to the effort and is mandated to protect subsistence opportunity and resources for local communities in its units, NPS is partnering with NAB in this project and will serve as co-Principal Investigators (PI&amp;#8217;s). NAB has funded the PI&amp;#8217;s with $29,308 to contribute to this project that is key to local residents. Quantifying lichen cover and biomass with sufficient precision to analyze caribou movements has often been limited by inadequate ground vegetation measurements to be able to model lichen cover using satellite imagery. With ARCN ground data, lichen cover can be mapped at sufficient precision across large enough spatial scales to try to connect caribou movement to lichen cover. In the past 15 years, vegetation monitoring in the Arctic Network (ARCN) of the National Park system has generated several large vegetation monitoring datasets. The PI&amp;#8217;s propose to utilize these data in conjunction with Landsat and high-resolution imagery to model and map lichen cover and biomass. These lichen maps would then be used to test the role of winter forage resources in habitat selection by caribou in the WACH. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The proposed cooperator and NPS hope to conduct joint research on behalf of the residents of the Northwest Arctic Borough to develop a caribou winter range lichen habitat map over the range of the Western Arctic Caribou Herd. This map will assist all stakeholders (federal and state government, local government, tribes, local residents) in cooperative management objectives for the herd. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The recipient will: 1. Produce at least one lichen cover and biomass map covering the WAH home range. 2. Generate at least one peer reviewed journal submission and a longer NPS-NRTR addressing broader range of issues and containing appendices of interest. 3. Present work at least one scientific conference and at 2 local community meetings of NAB&amp;#8217;s choosing. 4. Provide annual progress reports for funding agencies. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT The NPS will: 1. Serve as co-PI&amp;#8217;s in the project, assisting with the writing and editing of all publications. 2. Provide ARCN vegetation data, appropriate data summarization and analysis to support the creation of lichen landcover and biomass maps. 3. Facilitate PI and co-PI presentation of results at local community meetings including local lodging, logistics, introductions and meeting arrangements SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications Single Source Justification Description: Dr. Peter Nelson of the University of Maine-Fort Kent is uniquely qualified to conduct this project for 4 reasons. First, as a Ph.D. student, Dr. Nelson designed the ARCN study and collected the ground-based data that forms the basis of the remote sensing effort to be conducted. Second, he recently published the only known paper of its type using exactly these methods to conduct an identical study in Denali National Park. Third, he secured funding for matching funds from the Northwest Arctic Borough that will permit a much larger, focused study. Fourth, the other PI that Peter Nelson plans to contract with is the other PI of ARCN ground-based studies, Dr. Emily Holt. While other university partners may be able to develop Dr. Nelson&amp;apos;s methods, none yet have done so. Moreover, none would be able to replicate his methods with the amount of funding available, both because he is so familiar with the ground-based methods he designed and conducted, and has already invested the research time into developing the remote sensing methods needed to link satellite data to lichen ground data. The budget only covers a modest amount of salary support for the two cooperators. The fact that they are so familiar with the ARCN lichen data sets means a substantial cost savings for the government in that a different potential cooperator would have to invest a large amount of time becoming familiar with the methods, the data sets, analysis and appropriate uses of the data. The 3 months total of project support is very small for a project of this size and is only possible because of the matching funds by Northwest Arctic Borough. </Description>

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number P15AS01013 Project Title Population Dynamics of Forest Carnivores in Denali Recipient University of Washington Principle Investigator / Program Manager Laura Prugh, Ph.D. School of Environmental and Forest Sciences University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195-2100 Total Anticipated Award Amount $24,999 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? Continuation Anticipated Period of Performance 1 September 2015 &amp;#8211; 31 July 2019 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#8211; Resources of the National Park System Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (1) Continuation and (4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW This agreement will provide substantial support for a graduate student program of study through the University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Sciences. The project will use methods developed previously by the Principal Investigator to track the distribution, abundance, and habitat partitioning among forest carnivores in Denali. Winter surveys of carnivore tracks in snow encountered along established routes will be conducted, and fecal DNA-based estimates of coyote and fox abundance will be obtained from scats collected along track survey routes. Estimates of prey abundance will be obtained by ongoing surveys of hare pellets and vole abundance on established plots. Coyote movement patterns and survival rates will be examined by radio-collaring and monitoring collared coyotes. Funds provided through this agreement will be used for graduate student support, technician salary, and field supplies during the initial year of the project. Additional funding will be obtained from other sources (e.g., National Science Foundation and other grants). During years 2-4, NPS support up to $25,000 per year may be provided pending availability of funds. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The University of Washington and NPS staff at Denali will collaborate on all phases of planning and execution of this project. The University of Washington will play the lead role in directing the graduate student&amp;#8217;s program of study, will obtain additional funding from other sources, and will administer funds spent for direct costs of equipment, supplies, and salaries. An NPS biologist (Denali&amp;#8217;s Biological Resources Program Manager) will serve on the graduate student&amp;apos;s advisory committee, and will play a key role in developing specific objectives and methods, planning field work, and analysis and interpretation of results. In addition, NPS will provide technical expertise, equipment, housing, in-kind support, and field personnel, which may include both paid staff and participants in the Volunteers in the Parks program. NPS staff will also collaborate on data analysis and publication of results. Much of the field work for this project will occur within the Wilderness Area of Denali National Park, thus, close coordination with park staff is critical to ensure that Wilderness management requirements are met. Furthermore, the project will make use of data regarding wolf abundance and distribution provided by park staff; this type of study is not possible anywhere else in Alaska due to the lack of such data. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The University of Washington will: 1. Sponsor a graduate research program leading to a Ph.D. degree, with an anticipated completion date of July 31, 2019. 2. Design and conduct field research including establishing survey routes, counting tracks of forest carnivores along those routes during winter, collecting carnivore feces for diet and genetic analyses, and conducting those analyses. 3. Recruit, select, and supervise the work of a graduate student and one primary field technician. 4. Provide advice and guidance to the graduate student in preparation of a Ph.D. Dissertation and subsequent technical publications. 5. Provide public outreach through at least one interpretive program per year, to be presented in Denali National Park and Preserve. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Participate in all phases of project planning, design, and operation. 2. The Biological Resources Program Manager will serve on the graduate student&amp;#8217;s advisory committee and play a key role in developing specific objectives and methods, planning field work, and analysis and interpretation of results. 3. Provide housing for winter field work, logistical support including use of snowmachines and/or dog teams, and other equipment as needed for safety and efficiency of operations (GPS, radios, emergency locator beacons, tools for sample collection, etc.) 4. Recruit, train, and support one technician for winter field work (may be either paid staff or a Volunteer in the Parks participant). 5. Provide technical advice and assistance with study design, methods, data analysis and interpretation. 6. Supply data on wolf population size and distribution, and detailed data on wolf movements obtained by ongoing telemetry studies.

The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (1) Continuation: This project is a continuation of a project begun by the principal investigator under a prior cooperative agreement with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. (4) Unique Qualifications: The principal investigator of the proposed project has extensive experience directing field studies of medium-sized carnivorous mammals in Alaska, has published the results of these studies in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and has developed innovative methods for assessing carnivore abundance, distribution, and diet characteristics in remote, subarctic environments. Much of this work has been conducted in and around Denali National Park and Preserve. In addition, the University of Washington has unique capabilities for analysis of genetic material that will be a key component of this study. The proposed project will build upon a recently-completed graduate study, and will use many of the same protocols and field sites. Thus, data from prior years will be available to strengthen the scientific analyses that will be conducted during the proposed study. The investigator&amp;apos;s familiarity with the area and the unique problems of working here (compliance with State of Alaska, NPS and Wilderness regulations, working relationships with local residents, familiarity with local geography and transportation routes, etc.), are critical to the success of this project. </Description>

        <Description> This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS01023 Project Title SUPPORTING THE ALASKA NATIVE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PROGRAM (ANSEP) Recipient UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA ANCHORAGE Total Anticipated Award Amount $140,000 Cost Share 0 Anticipated Length of Agreement 5 years Anticipated Period of Performance 5 years Award Instrument CESU Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#8211; Resources of the National Park System Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Continuation Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) is creating a systematic change in the hiring patterns of Indigenous Americans in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by increasing the number of individuals on a career path to leadership in STEM fields. The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program is a comprehensive suite of Pre-College, Summer Bridge, University Retention, and Graduate components. The Pre-College component brings computer technology to isolated communities; provides middle school and high school students with a vision of a career in engineering and science; connects students with professionals in industry and academia; provides industrial partners with a technologically trained workforce; catalyzes an interest in algebra for middle school students and trigonometry, chemistry, and physics for high school students; and develops the enabling infrastructure necessary to sustain the effort long term. We build empowerment and excitement around careers in engineering and science. Academically prepared Indigenous students are now enrolling at our University in record numbers. After high school graduation, Pre-College students transition to the Summer Bridge component. During the Summer Bridge, new high school graduates spend nine weeks before their first year at the university completing an internship and mathematics training. A student&amp;#8217;s internship may be in an office or field setting and each student is paired with an engineer or scientist in their sponsor organization. Mathematics training is at the ANSEP building on the UAA campus. The primary goals of the program are to develop a peer group, earn financial support for college, increase mathematics skills, build relationships with mentors through an internship, solidify their vision for a career path, and learn to navigate at the University. The University Retention component is an academic community composed of students, faculty, staff, and external partners who are focused on the academic success, as well as the personal and professional development of the students. Students are teamed in an academic community where they are supported by peers and professionals, working together for success. Students are co-enrolled in classes, take a college survival skills class during the first semester, participate in organized study groups, are provided with opportunities for peer and professional mentoring, work summer internships, earn merit based scholarships and participate in planned group social activities. The goal is to successfully graduate with a BS degree in a STEM discipline. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Integrate recruitment and retention of students into the ANSEP Pre-College, Summer Bridging, and University Retention model. 2.

        <Description>The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU for the project titled: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Coastal marsh transgression and the fate of soil organic carbon under rising sea level&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;. As sea level rises, organic high marsh will encroach on the terrestrial forest by migrating overland. Preliminary work suggests that rates of wetland expansion into the adjacent upland may accelerate with future sea level rise. To answer the question of what controls marsh transgression will require integrating studies of wetland processes in the vertical dimension with research on the factors that control the lateral position of the wetland/upland boundary. For instance, will wetlands transgress landward at a rate that exceeds seaward displacement? There has been a paucity of research directed to understanding what factors control the lateral position of wetland boundaries and especially the position of the marsh upland ecotone. Process level research in the marsh upland ecotone is needed to better understand what critical environmental and ecological effects occur. Additionally, it is not well known how carbon stores are affected as marshes move upslope. The USGS has initiated an experimental study to better understand what controls marsh transgression and how soil carbon dynamics change across the manipulative treatments. Products should take advantage of this experiment and include an evaluation of how fast marshes transgress upslope, an identification of the source of organic soil carbon along an elevation gradient in a transgressing marsh, and the stability of soil organic pools across the experimental treatments.</Description>

The objective of this agreement is for mutual assistance in investigating the scientifically significant fossil record of arctic dinosaurs and their paleoenvironment that is preserved within Denali National Park and Preserve (DENA). The goal of this work is to determine the diversity and paleoecology of dinosaurs that are known from abundant trace fossil evidence preserved in the Cantwell Formation in DENA. To achieve this goal, our research objectives are to: (i) document important new fossil sites in the Cantwell Formation in DENA; (ii) interpret the tracks in terms of probable track makers, and other paleobiological interpretations; (iii) interpret the paleoenvironmental context using sedimentologic and paleobotanical evidence; and (iv) compare the DENA dinosaur assemblage with that known from the penecontemporaneous Prince Creek Formation (PCF) of northern Alaska. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The DENA staff and UAF researchers will cooperate in 1) investigating known fossil sites and reconnaissance for new fossils sites, 2) improving dating of the Cantwell Formation to better constrain the age of fossils, 3) collect data for paleontological localities using GPS, photogrammetry, silicone peels, and actual specimens, and manage data in the NPS paleontological database, and 4) compare the data from DENA to the penecontemporaneous Prince Creek Formation of the North Slope. Finally, DENA staff and UAF researchers will use the research accomplished and the discoveries made through this work to produce display-quality replicas and other educational materials that can be used by park personnel for outreach to park visitors. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Specific project objectives include: 1) Survey and monitor known sites for new discoveries. 2) Locate and map new localities that produce significant paleontological material, including plants, invertebrate trace fossils, and vertebrate trace fossils. 3) Although body fossils (bones, teeth) of vertebrates have not been found in the park, we will diligently prospect for these remains, which would considerably augment the existing fossil record in the park. 4) Collaborate with park personnel using GIS to predict and efficiently target potentially fossiliferous localities and then ground truth these areas. 5) Locate and collect tephras (volcanic ash) for radiometric dating to better constrain the age of the fossil-bearing portion of the formation. 6) Implement photogrammetry to efficiently record field data of trace fossils and, in collaboration with NPS, establish a photogrammetry database of park fossils to easily access three-dimensional data from known sites. 7) Collect actual specimens and produce silicone peels and 3D prints of tracks for archiving at the University of Alaska Museum (UAM). 8) Digitally catalogue and georeference all specimens at UAM and share these data for incorporation into the NPS database. 9) Produce display-quality replicas and other educational materials that can be used by park personnel for outreach to park visitors. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: The NPS will be directly involved in all parts of this project, which include the investigation of known fossil sites and reconnaissance for new fossils sites, data collection and management, and education and outreach related to paleontological resources and research occurring in the park. DENA staff have specialized knowledge relating to the paleontological resources that occur in the park, which they can share with UAF researchers. This includes intimate knowledge of where known fossil sites are located (this is important because fossil sites typically occur over a large area, and individual fossils are dispersed widely over that area), knowledge of high priority areas to survey for fossils, experience working in a National Park environment and specifically in Denali National Park, understanding of and the ability to inform researchers of DENA paleontological data collection protocols, and will accompany UAF researchers on field work in the park each summer. NPS staff will regularly participate in data sharing and dialogue with UAF during times exclusive of fieldwork, and will work closely with UAF to determine project scope, goals, and tasks. NPS staff will additionally provide safety and travel orientation. Overland travel within the park is on either the bus system or by driving the park road with government vehicles, which requires special knowledge because the road is closed to the public but utilized by tour buses. When necessary, DENA will provide helicopter support for remote fieldtrips. Beyond the support from NPS staff, DENA will also share resources such as transportation and housing within the park and, appropriate safety equipment, and appropriate field equipment (such as GPS, radios, etc.). The Park Geologist will act as the NPS supervisor, technical expert, ATR, and research permit liaison. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal (4) Unique Qualifications Single Source Justification Description: DENA staff continue to survey the Cantwell Formation within the park for paleontological material, but require technical assistance from external specialists. Dr. Druckenmiller has unique qualifications that make him exceptionally suited to assist DENA in advancing their paleontology program. These include his experience researching polar dinosaurs, and his experience planning and executing fieldwork in remote areas of Alaska. There are relatively few vertebrate paleontologists that specialize in studying dinosaurs and, of those few, only a sub-set focus their research on arctic dinosaurs. Dr. Druckenmiller has conducted recent research efforts on the remains of arctic dinosaurs found in interior Alaska, and investigated fossil sites that are directly related to the fossil assemblage of the Cantwell Formation. Over the course of these efforts, Dr. Druckenmiller has accumulated significant experience working in remote areas of Alaska, including the Talkeetna Mountains, the Colville River, Sagavanirktok River, Slope Mountain on the North Slope, and the Alaska Peninsula. Thus, he is fully prepared to meet the challenges of conducting successful field work in DENA. This combination of experience and skills makes Dr. Druckenmiller a unique candidate, and supports a single-source selection. Additionally, DENA has a stated interest in partnering with Alaskans, to foster local involvement in the National Park. This agreement directly supports this interest by bringing in researchers and students from an Alaskan university, the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Dr. Druckenmiller is the highest-qualified paleontologist for DENA&amp;#8217;s needs based in the state of Alaska. </Description>

Freshwater runoff plays a first order role in controlling the spatial and temporal distribution of water column properties (salinity, temperature, density) in the waters of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GBNPP). Runoff also strongly controls circulation patterns and residence times. These physical oceanographic processes are linked in many ways to ecological processes, demonstrating the broad impact of freshwater runoff on Glacier Bay. Streamflow is undersampled in Alaska in general and in GBNPP in particular. As a result, the hydrologic budget of Glacier Bay can not be determined through monitoring alone, and a modeling campaign is needed. Glacier Bay and Oregon State University will jointly develop a physical process-based hydrologic model for GBNPP that models snow and ice melt, and that routes runoff through the landscape to the coastline. The model will be highly resolved in space (100-500 m) and in time (daily step) allowing for estimates among and within seasons and years, and can accommodate individual rainfall events. The model will ultimately be validated using physical oceanographic data collected by park staff. Since runoff is strongly controlled by the precipitation and weather data, we will make model runs using three different weather products (NARR [North American Regional Reanalysis], MERRA [Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications], and PRISM [Parameter-elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model]). The ensemble of data sets will help to quantify the uncertainty in runoff associated with uncertainty in forcing weather data. Outcomes of this project will include a dataset in netcdf format covering the entire GBNPP watershed that specifies runoff on a daily time step for a 30-year hindcast period. &amp;#8217;Derived&amp;#8217; products will also include files describing the runoff extracted only at coastline grid cells to allow for the specification of the runoff into Glacier Bay. These data files will be suitable for immediate inclusion into an oceanographic model of the bay by other interested parties. Finally, a number of visual materials will also be generated based on input from park management and interpretation staff, including images (at a given time step, for example) and movies (covering a year, or the entire model period) that demonstrate the rich behavior of snowfall, icemelt, and runoff. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN NPS and Oregon State University will jointly develop a hydrologic model for GBNPP that models snow and ice melt, and that routes runoff through the landscape to the coastline. This collaborative project will improve our understanding of the present levels and distribution of runoff and how levels and distribution can change in response to changing precipitation, temperature and land cover. The variety of products produced by this project will contribute to greater public understanding of the hydrology of the system and how changing climate conditions can influence this critical component of the ecosystem. Explain the mutual and cooperative participation of the project to be awarded. 1. Generate a 30-year dataset on streamflow for the entire GBNPP watershed. This dataset will have a daily time step and will have a spatial resolution of 100-500 m. 2.

The activities / responsibilities that constitute substantial involvement on the part of the NPS must be stated here. This statement should reproduce the language to be incorporated within the Cooperative Agreement. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications Dr. David Hill is uniquely qualified to collaborate with the NPS on this project because of his specialization and history in hydrological modeling of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve and, more broadly, the Gulf of Alaska, since 2007. During that time, he has assembled a portfolio of modeling tools, data products, and local contacts that uniquely position him to carry out the work described in this task agreement. Specifically, he has worked directly with the NPS project manager on several initial papers on Glacier Bay hydrology that form the foundation for this more advanced modeling effort, including: &amp;#8220;Oceanography of Glacier Bay, Alaska: implications for biological patterns in a glacial fjord estuary&amp;#8221; (Estuaries and Coasts 2007) and &amp;#8220;Estimation of freshwater runoff into Glacier Bay, Alaska and incorporation into a tidal circulation model&amp;#8221; (Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science 2009). Dr. Hill has also worked with a variety of Glacier Bay researchers (including NPS staff) to publish important papers illustrating the physical-biological connections within Glacier Bay, including: &amp;#8220;Tidal influences on humpback whale habitat selection near headlands &amp;#8220; (Marine Ecology Progress Series 2011), &amp;#8220;Effects of currents and tides on fine-scale use of marine bird habitats in a Southeast Alaska hotspot&amp;#8221; (Marine Ecology Progress Series 2013), and &amp;#8220;Interactions between instream wood and hydrogeomorphic development within recently deglaciated streams in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska&amp;#8221; (Geomorphology 2011). His work has been carefully peer reviewed in numerous publications and it has led to several fellowships and awards for students working on this topic under his supervision. Recently, Dr. Hill has been involved in a Gulf of Alaska-wide modeling effort (Spatial and temporal variability of freshwater discharge into the Gulf of Alaska &amp;#8211; Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans 2015) using the same suite of tools that he proposes to use for an improved, higher-resolution study of GBNPP. Due to the initial investment (over the past 3 years) in this area by other funding agencies, Dr. Hill possesses the expertise and the knowledge of local processes that will allow him to carry out this GBNPP study in a short duration and with a modest budget. </Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to conduct research on &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Transgenerational effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on fish.&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Environmental chemicals can induce a variety of adverse effects via disruption of normal endocrine function in eukaryotic organisms. These chemically-induced effects are not only observed as immediate organismal responses, but also as a variety of diseases in subsequent generations in organisms not directly exposed to the chemicals. A transgenerational phenotype is an abnormal health outcome which develops in an organism without direct chemical exposure, but rather because prior generations were exposed to a chemical. The transgenerational phenotype has been observed in many organisms, including humans and plants. A variety of diseases in offspring three generations later and a variety of environmental toxicants (plastics, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, dioxin, and hydrocarbons) have been shown to promote epigenetic transgenerational disease phenotypes in laboratory rats. However, there are limited reports showing such transgenerational effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals in fish and wildlife. </Description>

        <Description>US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to conduct research to develop process-based spatial models as tools for both scenario generation and to integrate findings from field-based research by collaborators within the WMI initiative. Ongoing model development with RHESSys (Regional Hydro-Ecologic Simulation System) advances techniques that quantify the contributions of underlying watershed geologic characteristics to the sensitivity of both forest water use and streamflow to drought, provide better forecasting tools for understanding the response of western streams and forests to fire, and to describe and model physiological responses of tress to increasing climate change-caused stress.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), is offering a funding opportunity to evaluate and attempt to combine multiple datasets in order to estimate the risk of transmission from elk to cattle and how that varies in space and time. Additionally, to work towards predicting the future spread of brucellosis across the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Note that many of the datasets have already been collected, or are currently being collected, but they have not been combined in a quantitative format. In particular, we are interested in combing data on elk space use patterns during the spring and summer periods with elk seroprevalence, abundance data as well as timing of abortion events to estimate the number of expected elk abortions that occur in different areas.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Western Geographic Science Center (WGSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support mapping baseline mudflat extent in the SBSPRP study area, and 5-year changes to the baseline. A second objective will be to map the Net Primary Productivity (Biomass/NPP) of mudflat biofilm using multispectral data to explore food resources for waterbirds. In support of this project, the CESU partner will focus on development of image processing methods that utilize the coastal blue band on the WorldView2/3 sensor to overcome issues with mapping mud flats in shallow water. The proposed research will provide USGS monitoring/research teams the ability to develop methods for mapping mudflats that will meet requirements of the SBSPRP Adaptive Management Plan. Ultimately a partner who 1) possesses a strong working knowledge of automated mapping methods for coastal environments, and 2) a working understanding of the application of satellite imagery for mapping mudflats.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligibility is limited to grant recipients under PS12-1205 only. The National TB Controllers Association is the only external organization serving as a liaison between the nation&amp;apos;s TB Controllers Association and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) .  This organization provides a conduit for discussions relative to the nation&amp;apos;s TB trends, issues that impact federal funding, and provide alerts when there are issues that may have a negative impact on national TB programs meeting DTBE national TB goals and objectives.  This organization has been successful in working collaboratively with DTBE to interpret policies, guidelines, and recommendations to the state/big city/territorial TB programs.   By expanding activities, supported by this supplement, the NTCA can transition  activities without any program gaps in meeting the needs of  67 TB project areas and as a result of their expertise and guidance to programs over more than almost two decades-- making this organization uniquely qualified to perform the programmatic activities as indicated.   This expansion is to increase activities--utilizing more state-of-the art technologies to enhance current activities with DTBE.  In addition, development of a TB-related public health infrastructure relative to the TB drug supplies, and ongoing support for 67 partners in the field to advance TB program focused work that is in line with plans (IOM, DTBE) for the elimination of TB in the United States.  No previous request was made, so there are no outcomes to reports.Without approval of this supplement, there may be a negative impact to TB control programs, specifically relative to having alerts and/or awareness with systematic plans for drug shortages that could result in a negative, adverse effect for TB care in the U.S.   </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This project is to focus on activities that impact tuberculosis (TB) control in the United States by facilitating active and timely communication between CDC, DTBE and the local, state and territorial programs in the United States. This project will enhance communication--identifying new ways to incorporate technology to provide real-time interaction between state, local, and federal partners. In addition, the National Tuberculosis Association (NTCA) will continue to develop and enhance partnerships with other federal agencies and advocacy-oriented organizations, such as STOP TB USA. The work, if supported, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)/Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) will assist with advancing efforts to ultimately eliminate TB in the United States. NTCA is a leader among TB control officials in state, big city, and territorial programs--providing the field expertise, the infrastructure, and credibility to lead efforts, working collaboratively with CDC/DTBE to accelerate the decline--and ultimately the elimination of TB in the United States. </Description>

        <Description>The USGS Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research investigating the establishment, life history, and competitive characteristics of several species of the non-native annual Salsola. On the southeast Colorado Plateau (Navajo Nation, Petrified Forest National Park and associated areas), plants in this genus are commonly associated with the extensive dune fields occurring there. Researchers at the USGS SBSC and the Flagstaff Science Center are studying the contribution of vegetation toward dune stability in this area. The role of Salsola in promoting increased sand transport through competition and replacement of native vegetation is unknown. The research team wishes to acquire more information on the seed germination, establishment and growth rates, and reproductive phenology of Salsola within controlled environments. Primary to that is developing propagation and establishment protocols for growing Salsola in controlled environments. The USGS Southwest Biological Science Center has identified this information as a key science need in support of the field studies and is seeking applicants for a cooperative research project to conduct controlled environment studies and assist with a literature review on these topics.</Description>

        <Description>The MBRP Burn Injuries Research Award is being offered for the first time in FY15. The FY15 MBRP Burn Injuries Research Award is focused on specific research topics related to the treatment of traumatic burn injuries that are relevant to military personnel. Awards funded by the Burn Injuries Research Award may not be used to support fundamental basic research. Basic research is defined as research directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards process or products in mind. The FY15 Burn Injuries Research Award is focused on applied research, defined as research that refines concepts and ideas into potential solutions to health and performance problems with a view toward evaluating technical feasibility; it includes studies and investigations leading to candidate solutions in preparation for initial human testing. Presentation of preliminary data is required. Inclusion of preliminary and/or published data relevant to the research question is required. In addition, investigators must demonstrate logical reasoning. To be competitive, the application must include a sound scientific rationale and a well-formulated, testable hypothesis established through a critical review and analysis of the literature. Clinical trials are allowed. Applications for promising pharmaceutical or biologic candidates and medical devices and technologies may be selected for initial safety and efficacy testing in small scale human clinical trials. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. The term &amp;#8220;human subjects&amp;#8221; is used in this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity to refer to individuals who will be recruited for or who will participate in the proposed clinical trial. For more information, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm. Research Scope: Research proposed under the FY15 MBRP Burn Injuries Research Award may include small- to large-scale projects such as efficacy studies, effective comparison studies, human use, observational studies, clinical trial development, and clinical trials. These awards are expected to yield potential health products, approaches, or technologies positioned for human testing. Applications may include Phase I or early Phase II clinical trials, but not late Phase II or Phase III, large-scale effectiveness clinical trials or advanced development of products and capabilities. Activities allowed under the FY15 Burn Injuries Research Award may include, but are not limited to: &amp;#8226; Refinement of concepts and ideas into potential solutions with a view toward evaluating technical feasibility of emerging approaches, technologies, and promising new products &amp;#8226; Evaluation, maturation, and/or down-selection of potential product candidates (drugs, biologic/vaccine constructs, or devices/systems) in vitro and/or in vivo &amp;#8226; Conducting preclinical safety and/or toxicity studies &amp;#8226; Preparation activities needed to support a future clinical trial or regulatory submission &amp;#8226; Clinical trials (Phase I or Phase IIa)</Description>

        <Description>The PRORP Applied Research Award (ARA) mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. The PRORP ARA seeks applied research applications focused on advancing optimal treatment and restoration of function for military personnel with musculoskeletal injuries sustained during combat or combat-related activities. It is expected that any research findings would also provide benefit to the general population. To meet the intent of the award mechanism, applications must specifically address one of the FY15 PRORP ARA Focus Areas listed above. Awards may not be used to support fundamental basic research. Basic research is defined as research directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications toward process or products in mind. The FY15 PRORP ARA is focused on applied research, defined as work that refines concepts and ideas into potential solutions with a view toward evaluating technical feasibility of promising new products, pharmacologic agents, behavioral and rehabilitation interventions, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches and technologies. Upon successful completion, these studies are expected to yield potential health products, approaches, or technologies positioned for human testing. Presentation of preliminary data is required. Inclusion of preliminary and/or published data relevant to the research question is required. In addition, investigators must demonstrate logical reasoning. In order to be competitive, the application must include a sound scientific rationale and a well formulated, testable hypothesis established through a critical review and analysis of the literature. Studies allowed under the FY15 PRORP ARA may include, but are not limited to: &amp;#8226; Refinement of concepts and ideas into potential solutions with a view toward evaluating technical feasibility of emerging approaches, technologies, and promising new products. &amp;#8226; Evaluation, maturation, and/or down-selection of potential product candidates (drugs, biologic constructs, or devices/systems) in vitro and/or in vivo. &amp;#8226; Conducting preclinical safety and/or toxicity studies sufficient to support Investigational New Drug/Investigational Device Exemption (IND/IDE) applications. &amp;#8226; Preparation activities needed to support a future clinical trial or regulatory submission. Awards may not be used to support clinical trials. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. For more information on how to distinguish clinical research from clinical trials, see the Human Subject Resource Document at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm. Investigators seeking support to conduct a clinical trial should apply to the PRORP Clinical Trial Award (W81XWH-15-PRORP-CTA) mechanism, which can be accessed at http:cdmrp/army.mil/funding. Research Scope: Research proposed under the FY15 PRORP ARA may include small- to large-scale projects such as nonclinical efficacy studies, effective comparison studies, human use and/or observational studies. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the proposed research project. The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level: &amp;#8226; Funding Level 1: Research that is already supported by preliminary data and has the potential to make significant advancements toward clinical translation. Demonstration of efficacy in in vivo models, as applicable. &amp;#8226; Funding Level 2: Advanced translational studies that have the potential for near-term clinical investigation.</Description>

        <Description>NATIONAL PARK SERVICE BUSINESS PLAN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Section I: Funding Opportunity Description Federal Agency Name: Department Of The Interior, National Park Service Funding Opportunity Title: Business Plan Internship Program Announcement Type: Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Funding Opportunity Number: P15AS00183 Catalog Of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 15.954 Conservation, Protection, Outreach and Education Dates: Application Due Date: August 3, 2015, 5:00pm EST Eligible Applicants: 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organizations Legislative Authority: 54 USC &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;101702(a) [Formerly 16 U.S.C. 1g] authorizes the National Park Service (NPS) to enter into cooperative agreements that involve the transfer of NPS appropriated funds to State, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 6305. Recipient Cost Share: Not Applicable Federal Funding Amount: Subject to the availability of funds, estimated annual funding is approximately $300,000.00. The actual level of funding is dependent upon the allocated appropriations for this program, and is capped at $450,000.00 annually. Estimated Number Of Agreements To Be Awarded: 1 Estimated Amount Of Funding Available For Award: The amount of funding associated with this award will be established in subsequent annual task agreements and determined each year, once final appropriations have been made. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Section II: Funding Opportunity Announcement Objectives and Goals A. Program Background Information The NPS is committed to providing educational and job training opportunities to students so that they can gain a better understanding and appreciation of NPS resources. It has been established historically that through agreements between non-profit organizations and the Service that these resources can be maintained in a cost effective and efficient manner. However, this training has historically been geared specifically towards youth and focused solely on facilities and natural resource maintenance. The principal purpose of this agreement is to identify a non-profit organization that can cooperatively support NPS efforts to create and manage graduate level educational and job training opportunities. These opportunities are designed to promote the long-term health of our national parks by developing and improving financial planning and management tools at the park or program level. The primary program model for this cooperative agreement is the Business Plan Internship (BPI) program. The BPI program is focused on graduate level students engaged in projects that address specific operational analysis needs of park units and/or program offices. BPI interns are grouped in 2 or 3 person teams and placed on-site, to complete multi-week projects. Project management is provided by the NPS Business Management Group (BMG) in the Office of the Chief Financial Officer. For the purposes of this agreement, the NPS BMG acts as the on-the-ground expert on all financial and business management tools used within the Service. NPS involvement is necessary to provide the expertise needed to guide the planning process and provide technical assistance on completing management analysis documents. The NPS provides overall program management. The partner organization provides program design expertise and in-depth administrative and logistical support for the program, particularly around student outreach and recruiting. Partner expertise in managing all administrative functions of the program is essential to the successful and timely completion of projects. B. Program Objectives &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Jointly administer an internship program focused on improving the financial and operational health of our national parks and NPS programs. The internship program should provide students with in-depth NPS financial and operational training, exposure to park and/or program level operations, and the opportunity to conduct substantive analysis and evaluation which lead to recommendations on how best to achieve NPS operational goals. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Promote and stimulate student interest in NPS education and job training programs related to financial and operational analysis and/or management. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Encourage students from professional disciplines underrepresented in the NPS workforce (Master of Business Administration, Master of Public Policy, Master of Environmental Management, and similar degree programs) to explore federal careers with conservation and land management agencies. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Build a lifelong stewardship ethic for public lands in students from top universities. C. Term of the Agreement Agreement terms for funded projects are estimated to range between one and five year, depending on the negotiated project scope. Agreements are not effective until fully executed with signature from the NPS Awarding Officer. In most cases an agreement will expire after five years from the effective date, unless terminated earlier in accordance with 2 CFR, Part 200, Sections 200.338 and 200.339. Prior to the expiration of this agreement, modifications may be proposed by either party and will become effective upon written approval of both parties. Each activity or project under this agreement will be treated individually, with more detail through project statements, project plans and budgets developed cooperatively between the NPS and the recipient organization. </Description>

New Award Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award for 5 years Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award for 5 years Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.954 Conservation, Protection, Outreach and Education Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW All federal, state and local park and recreation agencies are required to ensure that people with disabilities have access to park and recreation facilities and receive the benefits received by visitors without disabilities. While the Service has improved the accessibility of its facilities and services, there is an ongoing need for accessibility training, technical assistance (TA) and research. This cooperative effort between the University and the Service is established to address this need and provide nationwide leadership and training to park and recreation professionals throughout the Service and the country. The University and the Service have successfully participated in a similar cooperative agreement since 1992. The cooperative partnership between the Service and the University will be carried out through the programs and facilities of the National Accessibility Branch (AXS Branch) within the Park Facility Management Division and the University&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s National Center on Accessibility (NCA). NCA is one of the nation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s premiere resources promoting access for people with disabilities in the park and recreation environment and has a national and international reputation for excellence in recreation-related education programs, in research, and in providing TA. The staff of educators and researchers has a long record of successfully working with Federal, State and local agencies, as well as with private recreation providers in the area of accessibility for citizens with disabilities. These activities have demonstrated how a cooperative partnership has been an effective method for providing the TA, information, research, and training needed by the Service and other agencies and organizations. B.

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that propose the extended development, maintenance, testing, evaluation, hardening and dissemination of existing biomedical software. This FOA is for applications that have completed the proof of concept Phase I stage-type of research through other (non-SBIR) funding sources. The NIH is interested in promoting a broad base of research and development of a broad base of innovative technologies in biomedical computing, informatics, and Big Data Science that will support rapid progress in areas of scientific opportunity in biomedical research. It is expected that this research and development is conducted in the context of important biomedical and behavioral research problems. As such, applications are intended to develop enabling technologies that could apply to the interests of most NIH Institutes and Centers and range from basic biomedicine to research in all relevant organ systems and diseases. Major themes of research include collaborative environments; data integration; analysis and modeling methodologies; and novel computer science and statistical approaches.New opportunities are also emerging as large and complex data sets are becoming increasingly available to the research community. The proposed work should apply best practices and proven methods for software design, construction, and implementation to extend the applicability of existing technologies in biomedical computing, informatics and big data science to a broader biomedical research community. </Description>

        <Description>The Hope Camp Conservation project aims to provide local Arizona youth with summer employment working on a conservation project at Hope Camp in the backcountry of Saguaro National Park. Youth will help repair a length of fence that marks the boundary between the National Park wilderness and State Trust land. In doing so, they will learn valuable job skills, including but not limited to working as a team under difficult conditions, the safe handling and use of a variety of tools, and Leave No Trace ethics. They will also learn about the ecological impact that domesticated livestock have on the land, and why it is important to conserve wilderness areas, particularly in a unique desert ecosystem like Saguaro. By working with American Conservation Experience (ACE) to complete this project, Saguaro National Park fulfills all three goals of the 21CSC - providing service, employment and educational opportunities to youth, preserving and protecting America&amp;apos;s Best Idea, and developing the next generation of active and educated stewards for our parks.</Description>

The University was selected to receive this award based on a combination of the following criteria: 1) this project is a continuation of activities for which the University has already been funded to fill critical knowledge gaps relative to identifying factors limiting population growth of Cerulean Warblers, and 2) the University&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s unique qualifications, in association with its research collaborators, for successfully completing the work described below with regard to capturing Cerulean Warblers and using geolocator technology on these birds. The University has previously been funded to fill critical knowledge gaps for this species by studying the impacts of forest management alternatives on the breeding ecology and nesting success of Cerulean Warblers. This project continues the work to fill knowledge gaps on limiting factors by collecting information on migratory connectivity (including migratory stopover areas) between breeding and wintering populations, which could be influenced by different limiting factors based on geographic differences across their breeding and non-breeding ranges. The University&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s staff has been studying this species for more than 15 years and, in conjunction with the research team it has assembled from other organizations, it has an unparalleled record of experience successfully working with this bird, especially with capturing and recapturing individuals, which will be critically important this project.</Description>

        <Description>Funding in the amount of $64,000 is available to conduct invasive species removal and restoration treatments, primarily in the removal of saltcedar and athel, at the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge on approximately 40 acres designated in the Burned Areas Rehabilitation program. Removal of these species are in areas where existing vegetation must be preserved for wildlife habitat and invasive trees must be treated individually by cutting and treating with herbicide. Lack of staff is the limiting factor to completing treatment in these areas and rehabilitating the site to pre fire conditions and restoring habitat essential to migratory and neotropical birds. This project requires the assistance of trained and certified sawyers, pesticide applicators, and other experienced crewmembers in invasive species management in addition to furnishing all the necessary equipment to conduct the work. Crews will provide detailed reports concerning treatments, including methods, acreage and effectiveness.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to establish a mechanism for ongoing collaboration among ONC and various SDOs. It aims to provide support to these organizations for standards and interoperability work within these organization&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s portfolios that is of mutual interest to ONC. This includes, but is not limited to, standards that involve clinical data exchange, such as those used for e-prescribing, public health reporting, &amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#156;query,&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#157; research, lab ordering and lab results; standards for transporting clinical health information; and standards used to represent clinical concepts in vocabularies, terminologies, and code sets. Additionally, it is anticipated that these ongoing cooperative relationships include specific work aimed at the range of different technical standards developed and maintained by these SDOs, how those standards align with other SDO&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s work, and how to measure the use of published standards.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from multi-disciplinary teams of researchers and clinicians to establish the Pancreatic Cancer Detection Consortium (PCDC) to conduct research to improve the detection of early stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and characterization of its precursor lesions. This initiative addresses one of the four research priorities identified in the National Cancer Institute&amp;apos;s 2014 Scientific Framework for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma. The PCDC is intended to support research for the development and testing of new molecular and imaging biomarkers for identifying patients at high risk for PDAC (because of genetic factors or the presence of precursor lesions) who could be candidates for early intervention. The research will be conducted by individual multi-disciplinary research teams, hereafter called Units. The Units will undertake studies on the following areas: identification and testing of biomarkers measurable in bodily fluids for early detection of PDAC or its precursor lesions; determine which pancreatic cysts are likely to progress to cancer; develop molecular- and/or imaging-based approaches for screening populations at high risk of PDAC; conduct biomarker validation studies; and collect longitudinal biospecimens for the establishment of a biorepository. All Units are expected to participate in collaborative activities with other Units and share ideas, specimens and data within the Consortium.</Description>

        <Description> NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number P15AC001149 Project Title Every 4th Grade Student to a National Park, Centennial Initiative Recipient Anchorage School District Principle Investigator / Program Manager Kathryn Kurtz K-12 Stem Science Coordinator 907/742-4854, Kurtz_Kathryn@asdk12.org CJ Rea, Education Specialist Kenai Fjords National Park 907/422-0531 CJ_Rea@nps.gov Total Anticipated Award Amount $28,620.42 Cost Share $14,310.21 New Award or Continuation? New Anticipated Period of Performance August 24th, 2015 &amp;#8211; September 30th 2015 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a); 54 USC 101701 CFDA # and Title 15.406 Centennial Initiative Challenge Cost Share Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (1 ) Unsolicited Proposal NPS ATR Point of Contact CJ Rea CJ_Rea@nps.gov 907/422-0531 OVERVIEW This project is a Centennial initiative project that is being put forth to reach underserved fourth grade youth. Funds will be spent to bring 300 Anchorage 4th grade students to Kenai Fjords National Park and the Alaska Sea Life Center. Students will receive programing from the park service ahead of their arrival. Once they arrive to Seward they will attend 4 different programs including 2.5 hours of instruction at Kenai Fjords National Park and 2.5 hours of instruction at the Alaska Sea Life Center. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The partner organization, The Anchorage School District, will arrange for booking of classroom presentations, presentations on site in Seward and transportation. The Anchorage school district will make this opportunity available to all under served 4th grade classrooms on a first come first served basis. The Anchorage School district will submit receipts and obtain reimbursements through the ASAP system. Kenai Fjords National Park will develop programming in alignment with the school district&amp;#8217;s curriculum. They will also work with the Alaska Sea Life Center to develop programming that matches the 4th grade curriculum. Park rangers will present to students in classrooms ahead of their trip to Seward. Park rangers will also present 2.5 hours of programming to students at Exit Glacier in Seward, Ak. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Recipient Involvement: Cost of Alaska Sea Life center programming and Nocturne even will be covered by this agreement. The recipient will also pay for transportation services using a provider of their choice for bringing students to Seward. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: THE NPS agrees to create a pre-visit program for students to receive in their classrooms. The NPS will further, develop an onsite program for students which adheres to the curriculum standards of Anchorage fourth grade science. The park service will work with the Alaska Sea Life Center to help plan their programs with this fourth grade audience as well. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: There are only three school districts within easy travel ranger of Kenai Fjords National Park. Many of the schools in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School and Matsu districts are already visiting the park. A much greater number of underserved youth attend the Anchorage School District and many of these groups have never been able to afford the cost to visit Kenai Fjords National Park. Unique Qualifications Single Source Justification Description: Kenai Fjords National Park is a significant distance from most schools (90 mile +) This agreement is written specifically for a school district to be able to visit Kenai Fjords National Park and take advantage of a series of programs we offer. There are only two school districts within a reasonable (2 hours or less) travel distance from the park. Of those two we see a large number of Kenai Peninsula Borough School district students&amp;#8217; percentage wise. We are reaching out to underserved youth in an attempt to bring schools who could not afford this opportunity on their own. We hope to see new faces and create an understanding of the mission of National Parks with a new audience. </Description>

        <Description>The PRORP Clinical Trial Award supports the rapid implementation of clinical trials with the potential to have a major impact on military combat-related orthopaedic injuries, or non-battle injuries that significantly impact unit readiness and return-to-duty/work rates. The clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologics), devices, clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches and technologies. All applications are required to articulate the relevance of the proposed project to military and/or Veteran populations affected by orthopaedic injury. Collaboration with military researchers and clinicians is encouraged, and studies that include active duty military or Veteran participants as all or a portion of the study population will be considered. Proposed projects may range from small proof-of-concept trials to demonstrate feasibility or inform the design of more advanced trials (i.e., pilot, first in human, or Phase 0), through large-scale trials, to determine efficacy in relevant patient populations. Proof-of-concept trials should not request the maximum funding amount allowed under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. All funding amounts requested should be well-justified and appropriate to the scope of work proposed. Funding from this award mechanism must support a clinical trial and may not be used for preclinical research studies. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking funding for a preclinical research project should consider one of the other award mechanisms/funding opportunities being offered. The term &amp;#8220;human subjects&amp;#8221; is used in this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity to refer to individuals who will be recruited for or who will participate in the proposed clinical trial. For more information on how to distinguish clinical research from clinical trials, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm. If the clinical trial involves the use of a drug that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the proposed investigational use, then an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA that meets all requirements under the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 312 (21 CFR 312) may be required and must be submitted to the FDA within 6 months of the award date. If the investigational product is a device, evidence that an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application that meets all requirements under 21 CFR 812 has been submitted to the FDA within 6 months of the award date, or that the device is exempt from an IDE, is required. The Government reserves the right to withdraw funding if an IND or IDE is necessary but has not been submitted to the FDA prior to the application submission deadline, or if documented status of the IND or IDE has not been obtained within 6 months of the award date. The following are important aspects of submission for the Clinical Trial Award: &amp;#8226; The proposed clinical trial is expected to begin no later than 12 months after the award date, or 18 months for FDA-regulated studies. &amp;#8226; The proposed intervention to be tested should offer significant potential impact for military personnel with combat-related orthopaedic injuries or non-battle orthopaedic injuries that impact unit readiness and return-to-duty/work. &amp;#8226; Inclusion of preliminary data relevant to the proposed research project is required. &amp;#8226; The proposed research project must be based on sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and critical review and analysis of the literature. &amp;#8226; The application should describe the planned indication for the product label, if appropriate, and include an outline of the development plan required to support that indication. &amp;#8226; The application should demonstrate availability of, and access to, a suitable patient population that will support a meaningful outcome for the study. The PI should discuss how accrual goals will be achieved and how standards of care may impact the study population. &amp;#8226; The application should demonstrate documented availability of and access to the drug/ compound, device, and/or other materials needed, as appropriate. The quality of the product should be commensurate with FDA manufacturing standards applicable to the type and phase of product being developed (i.e., Quality System Regulation, Good Manufacturing Practices). &amp;#8226; The proposed clinical trial design should include clearly defined and appropriate endpoints, and follow Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. &amp;#8226; The application should include a clearly articulated statistical analysis plan, appropriate statistical expertise on the research team, and a power analysis reflecting sample size projections that will clearly answer the objectives of the study. &amp;#8226; The application should include a clearly articulated data management plan and use of an appropriate database to safeguard and maintain the integrity of the data. &amp;#8226; The application should include a clearly articulated safety management plan, outlining how safety pharmacovigilance will be conducted, as applicable. &amp;#8226; The application should include a clearly articulated clinical monitoring plan, outlining how the study will be monitored for GCP compliance. &amp;#8226; The application should include a study coordinator(s) who will guide the clinical protocol through the local Institutional Review Board (IRB) of record and other Federal agency regulatory approval processes, coordinate activities from all sites participating in the trial, and coordinate participant accrual. &amp;#8226; The application should include a Transition Plan (including potential funding and resources) showing how the product will progress to the next clinical trial phase and/or delivery to the market after the successful completion of the PRORP Clinical Trial Award. &amp;#8226; The application should clearly demonstrate strong institutional support (refer to Section II.C., Full Application Submission Content, Supporting Documentation). &amp;#8226; The application should acknowledge the commitment to filing the study in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trials registry, www.clinicaltrials.gov.</Description>

        <Description>Under a previous grant, supported by FRA&amp;apos;s Office of Research and Development and the Office of Safety, a model framework and proposed key elements for reducing the effects of potentially traumatic exposure to critical incidents was developed in support of a new regulation, now known as the critical incident rule. This new regulation is intended to control the risks associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder (ASD) in a railroad setting due to employees&amp;apos; exposure to critical incidents. As required by this rule (49 CFR Part 272-Critical Incident Stress Plans), no later than June 23rd, 2015, railroad carriers were responsible for submitting to FRA, for approval, their Critical Incident Stress Plans. Under a subsequent grant a generic non-proprietary suite of tools for potential implementation and broad application across the rail industry was developed and is now ready for pilot testing and evaluation. This suite of tools was customized by Amtrak labor and management teams for use in the Amtrak environment and was used to support Amtrak&amp;apos;s submission of its critical incident plan to FRA. This grant will support an implementation evaluation and pilot testing of the generic tools adapted by Amtrak for its Critical Incident Plan. It will also support the development of evidence-based good practice guidance and resource documents, including no-cost non-proprietary tools and materials, for industry use when implementing their Critical Incident Stress Plans.</Description>

        <Description>This opportunity seeks to find a Cooperator through a Cooperative Agreement to work with the Service in the Northeast Region, the Appalachian and North Atlantic LCCs and their partners to advance implementation of SHC for the benefit of wildlife and other natural resources for the American people. The approach to conservation that Science Applications and the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives undertake involves close collaboration in developing shared conservation priorities with our partners. Partners include federal and state agencies, tribes, organizations and universities whose missions overlap to some degree with the Service, but who also extend the reach and impact of the activities we jointly support. In such a way, our investments fully benefit the resources and ecosystem services the public cares about. The Recipient helps build and bridge important relationships with stakeholders, including state agencies, tribes, non-governmental organizations, universities, conservation partnerships and private contractors to help ensure desired outcomes are achieved. The elements of SHC include: Ecological Planning, Conservation Design, Science Delivery, Monitoring and Evaluation, Research, Information Management, Communication and Outreach and Coordination and Organization. LCC priorities are determined by LCC steering committees and guided by LCC Strategic/Operational Plans.</Description>

        <Description>New for FY15, the Horizon Award supports junior level scientists to conduct impactful research with the mentorship of an experienced cancer researcher (i.e., Mentor). The Horizon Award challenges junior scientists to develop and implement research in the cancer field. This opportunity allows for junior investigators to develop a research project, investigate a problem or question in the field of cancer, and further their intellectual development as a cancer researcher of the future. Under this award mechanism, the junior investigator is considered the Principal Investigator (PI), and the application should focus on the PI&amp;#8217;s research and career development. It should be clear that the proposed research is intellectually designed by the PI with assistance from the Mentor. Preliminary data are not required. However, logical reasoning and a sound scientific rationale for the proposed research must be demonstrated. Clinical trials will not be supported by this mechanism. Key elements of the award are as follows: &amp;#8226; Principal Investigator (PI): Both predoctoral candidates and postdoctoral fellows are eligible according to the following definitions: &amp;#9675; Predoctoral candidate: Must have successfully completed coursework and passed any qualifying examinations by the time of the application submission deadline. The predoctoral candidate should be within two years of his/her acceptance as a DoD FY15 Peer Reviewed Cancer Horizon Award 5 doctoral candidate, completed all laboratory rotations, and should be working in his/her Mentor&amp;#8217;s laboratory at the time of the application submission deadline. &amp;#9675; Postdoctoral fellow: Must be within three years of his/her terminal degree (excluding time in residency or on family medical leave) and working in the Mentor&amp;#8217;s laboratory at the time of the application submission deadline. The PI&amp;#8217;s record of accomplishments (including but not limited to publications, awards, research recognition) will be evaluated regarding his/her potential for contributing to the FY15 PRCRP Topic Area(s) the proposed research addresses. To be considered for funding, applications for the PRCRP Horizon Award must address at least one of the Topic Areas as directed by Congress. Research applications in the areas of breast, prostate, lung (excluding mesothelioma), or ovarian cancer will not be accepted. The FY15 PRCRP Topic Areas are listed below. &amp;#8226; Colorectal cancer &amp;#8226; Genetic cancer research &amp;#8226; Kidney cancer &amp;#8226; Listeria vaccine for cancer &amp;#8226; Liver cancer (New for FY15) &amp;#8226; Melanoma and other skin cancers &amp;#8226; Mesothelioma &amp;#8226; Myeloproliferative disorders &amp;#8226; Neuroblastoma &amp;#8226; Pancreatic cancer &amp;#8226; Stomach cancer (New for FY15)</Description>

        <Description>The Western Ecological Research Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a Funding Opportunity to one partner of the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The project is titled &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Genetic structure of Golden Eagle populations in western San Diego County&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; This project is aimed at gaining a better understanding of landscape connectivity for Golden Eagles in Southern California, by examining genetics and local population sizes. Growing concern about the status of golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) in western San Diego County, California, has highlighted the need for ecological information that will allow local managers to evaluate and mitigate the potentially adverse effects of human activities on this species. Populations of golden eagles in California are typically comprised of resident breeders, resident non-breeders (e.g., subadults), and seasonal itinerants. Historical studies of diets of golden eagles in San Diego County suggest that these birds forage on a diversity of prey including ground and tree squirrels, lagomorphs, coots and ducks, skunks, gray foxes, house cats, young pigs, young deer, and carrion. A better understanding of the current distribution, status, foraging requirements, and population characteristics of golden eagles is needed to identify and effectively manage golden eagle habitat and threats/stressors to each nesting territory in western San Diego County. </Description>

        <Description>national-level science problem with novel methods. The expertise and contributions of external technology partners is required for this scientific pursuit which is aligning USGS interests with recently recognized national priorities with regard to pollination, thus representing a significant opportunity for growth. The application of innovative tools is needed for addressing this important issue of the detection of sublethal changes in animals and pollinators to the increasingly available pesticide class which is the fastest growing class globally (Gibbons et al., 2014). This proof-of-concept project will demonstrate effectiveness of a sustained-release chemical delivery device, as evidenced by measuring sub-lethal biomarker responses at the cell and molecular level. These data help to shed light on individual animal condition, whereby ecosystem health is reflected by the health of its animals.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for the Morris K. Udall Centers of Excellence for Parkinsons Disease Research program. The overarching goal of the specialized Udall Centers program is to establish a network of Centers that work collaboratively as well as independently to define the causes of and discover improved treatments for Parkinsons disease (PD). A more immediate goal for each Center is to rapidly advance synergistic, interdisciplinary research programs while serving as national leaders in PD research. Udall Centers also serve as local resources by organizing research career enhancement activities for Center investigators and periodic outreach to the PD patient/advocacy community. Applicants are expected to identify and address an overall research theme that defines a critical challenge in PD research. The stated theme, proposed research projects, and associated cores will inform the etiology, pathogenesis or treatment of PD; investigations on related synucleinopathies may be included if such studies directly address the identified PD research challenge. Requirements include 1) a minimum of three research projects; 2) research cores that are each essential to accomplish the aims of at least two proposed research projects, plus an Administrative Core; 3) a mission statement and plan for career enhancement of Center researchers; and 4) a plan for outreach to the local patient community. The NINDS Udall Centers program prioritizes innovative and integrative research with significant potential for discovery. A considerable degree of synergy must be evident among Center research projects and cores, such that successful completion of the aims could not be accomplished without the Center structure. The Udall Center Director (PD/PI) must be an established leader in scientific research with visionary leadership skills and proven expertise in the stewardship of large-scale research programs. Eligible institutions must demonstrate commitment to and support for the establishment and/or continuation of the proposed Udall Center. Funding decisions will focus on those applications most likely to make significant contributions to PD research, as well as those with greatest potential to collaborate effectively across the Centers program. </Description>

        <Description>The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recognizes the unique importance of many protected species to tribes and values ongoing efforts by tribal nations to conserve and protect species under NMFS&amp;apos; jurisdiction. NMFS is authorized to provide Federal assistance to tribes to support conservation programs for marine and anadromous species under its jurisdiction. This assistance, provided in the form of grants, can be used to support conservation of endangered, threatened, and candidate or proposed species, as well as post-delisting monitoring of recovered species. Proposals that address the recovery of one of the following critically endangered species are encouraged this year and will be considered a priority for funding: Atlantic salmon, white abalone, Cook Inlet beluga whales, Hawaiian monk seals, Pacific leatherback sea turtles, and southern resident killer whales. Funded activities may include development and implementation of management plans, scientific research, and public education and outreach; proposals should address priority actions identified in an Endangered Species Act (ESA) Recovery Plan or address a NMFS-identified regional priority or need. Only federally recognized tribes and organizations of federally recognized tribes, such as the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission, that have delegated authority to represent a federally recognized tribe on matters relating to ESA listed, candidate, or proposed species, are eligible to apply. Proposals focusing on listed, candidate, or proposed species of Pacific salmon or steelhead will not be considered for funding under this grant program; such projects may be supported through the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. This document describes how to prepare and submit proposals for funding in fiscal year (FY) 2016 and how NMFS will determine which proposals will be funded; this document should be read in its entirety. </Description>

        <Description>Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is working with Yakama Tribal Nation (Nation) to investigate potential effects of Reclamation facilities on adult and juvenile Pacific lamprey, and where appropriate, make recommendations for either further study or actions that may be taken to reduce effects on lamprey. The Nation has been a leader in identifying Pacific lamprey issues in the Yakima River Basin (Basin). Reclamation and the Nation entered into Cooperative Agreement R11AC10069 September 26, 2011, to begin evaluations and recommendations for possible solutions to identified issues. That agreement expires June 30, 2015. This agreement identifies the continuing work to be completed by the Nation and Reclamation for lamprey. Pacific Lamprey evaluation and conservation in the Basin is an integrated part of the Yakama Nation Fisheries Resource Management Program (YNFRMP). Through this program, the Nation is working to restore natural production of Pacific lamprey to a level that will provide robust species abundance, significant ecological contributions and meaningful. As the program managers, the Nation is the only entity with jurisdiction to collect lamprey in this basin as dictated by sovereign rights. This program is the overarching management program in the Basin under which the activities of this work are aligned.</Description>

        <Description>The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Kansas is announcing availability of Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies. NRCS anticipates that the amount available for support of this program in FY 2015 will be up to $100,000. Proposals are requested from eligible governmental or non-governmental organizations or individuals for competitive consideration of grant awards for projects between 1 and 3 years in duration.The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) into NRCS technical manuals and guides or to the private sector. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology in order to increase adoption with an emphasis on opportunities to scale proven, emerging conservation strategies. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. CIG does not fund research projects, with the exception of on-farm conservation research. On-farm conservation research is defined as an investigation conducted to answer a specified conservation-related question using a statistically valid design, while employing farm-scale equipment on farm fields. Specifically, a valid study design will use an appropriate number of replications and statistical analysis of results. To the extent NRCS funds research projects through CIG, the Agency will only fund research projects that stimulate innovative approaches to natural resource management in conjunction with agricultural production.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the U.S. Geological Survey&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement G15AS00003 Project Title Conference Sponsorship Recipient San Francisco Estuary Institute, Aquatic Science Center Principal Investigator / Program Manager Lawrence Leung James Cloern Anticipated Federal Amount $30,000.00 Cost Share No Total Anticipated Award Amount $30,000.00 New Award or Continuation? New Anticipated Period of Performance Three days in October 2015 Award Instrument Grant CFDA # and Title 15.808 Research &amp;amp; Data Collection USGS Point of Contact Stewart Evans OVERVIEW The U.S. Geological Survey will grant to the San Francisco Estuary Institute - Aquatic Science Center (SFEI-ASC) to organize and lead a scientific workshop that will guide restoration of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Primary sponsorship of the workshop, to be held in October 2015, is expected to come from the Delta Science Program. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT In order to integrate expertise across different aspects of primary production and food web support, a 3 day workshop will be held to bring together scientists of diverse backgrounds to integrate existing data, scientific literature, and best professional judgment to form a new synthesis of past and contemporary production and its use to support invertebrate production. A subset of the workshop attendees will carry the approach forward to developing quantitative estimates of production for the modern and historical Delta. Following the workshop, the uncertainties, knowledge gaps, and research opportunities identified by this project will be used to develop a larger proposal to explore primary production in the Delta in greater detail through new data collection and modeling. In advance of the workshop, preparatory materials will be compiled and created to guide the development of a conceptual model and an approach for estimating primary production. This will include identifying and synthesizing relevant data from the peer-reviewed and gray literature and creating PowerPoint presentations for the workshop. A workshop agenda will be developed with input from expected workshop participants. As the technical questions addressed by the workshop have substantial significance to the current policy planning processes it will be important to ensure the independence of this project. To accomplish this goal, SFEI-ASC -- an independent science center -- will bring together a highly qualified and diverse science team. Information and findings from the workshop will be made publicly available and will be broadly distributed. USGS INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part USGS is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, USGS will be responsible for the following: None.

        <Description>Climate variability and change present society with significant economic, health, safety, and national security challenges. NOAA advances scientific and technical programs to help society cope with and adapt to today&amp;#8217;s variations in climate and to prepare for tomorrow&amp;#8217;s. Toward this end, the agency conducts and supports climate research, essential oceanic and atmospheric observations, modeling, information management, assessments, interdisciplinary decision-support research, outreach, education, and partnership development. These investments are key to NOAA&amp;#8217;s mission of &amp;quot;Science, Service, and Stewardship&amp;quot; and are guided by the agency&amp;#8217;s vision to create and sustain enhanced resilience in ecosystems, communities, and economies, as described in NOAA&amp;#8217;s Next Generation Strategic Plan (NGSP). Fostering climate adaptation and mitigation, and, specifically, the development of an informed society anticipating and responding to climate and its impacts is one of the primary pathways through which NOAA plans to advance its mission. The NGSP outlines NOAA&amp;#8217;s long-term climate goal, with the following objectives: 1) improved scientific understanding of the changing climate system and its impacts; 2) assessments of current and future states of the climate system that identify potential impacts and inform science, service, and stewardship decisions; 3) mitigation and adaptation choices supported by sustained, reliable, and timely climate services; and 4) a climate-literate public that understands its vulnerabilities to a changing climate and makes informed decisions. NOAA works in partnership with all levels of governing structures (e.g., federal, state, tribal, regional, local) as well as academic, private, and international research entities, and it places a substantial emphasis on productive partnerships and interactions with decision-makers and other stakeholders. Within this context, NOAA&amp;#8217;s Climate Program Office (CPO) manages competitive research programs through which NOAA funds high-priority climate science, assessments, decision support research, outreach, education, and capacity-building activities designed to advance our understanding of Earth&amp;#8217;s climate system and to foster the application of this knowledge to enable effective decisions. CPO supports research that is conducted across the United States and internationally. CPO also provides strategic guidance for the agency&amp;#8217;s climate science and services programs and supports NOAA&amp;#8217;s contributions to the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and its National Climate Assessment and similar international endeavors. In seeking to advance the NGSP climate objective of an improved scientific understanding of the changing climate system and its impacts, CPO supports research that advances core capabilities in (a) observing systems, climate monitoring and data stewardship (b) understanding and modeling, (c) predictions and projections, and (d) informing decisions. These core capabilities are, in turn, intended to advance NOAA&amp;#8217;s ability to provide sustained, reliable, and timely climate services dealing with the following broad, societal challenge areas: (a) climate impacts on water resources, (b) coasts and climate resilience, (c) sustainability of marine ecosystems, and (d) changes in extremes of weather and climate. </Description>

        <Description>The San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex has developed a strategy to survey a sub-set of representative marshes for California clapper rails, which can then be extrapolated to a larger area to determine population size. Surveys will be performed in 2016 and 2017 on Refuge marshes and in other tidal marshes around San Francisco Bay. Working with Refuge staff and USFWS Region 8 Refuge Inventory and Monitoring staff, Point Blue will conduct analyses under the strategy to determine trends in density and population size at different spatial and temporal scales. Results from this project will assess progress towards meeting the population goals set forth in the Tidal Marsh Recovery Plan for clapper rail in San Francisco Bay. The objectives are to conduct range-wide California Ridgway&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Rail population assessments using the protocol being developed cooperatively by the Service and Point Blue; analyze and report on population status and trends; assess how management actions can increase Rail populations, assess progress toward achieving the Recovery Plan population goals for California Ridgway&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Rail. </Description>

        <Description>The CDC reports that in 2013, more than 41,000 Americans died by suicide. Of the top 10 causes of death, suicide was the only cause of death to increase between 2011 and 2012. Current FRA data show that in 2012 there were 242 suicide fatalities and 46 additional injuries from suicide attempts. Trespassing is already understood to be one of the two most serious safety problems (the second being grade crossing collisions) facing the railroad industry and its regulators not only in the U.S. but also in other countries. Moreover, it is widely believed that the reported prevalence and incidence of suicide on the railroad rights-of-way railway is underreported. The scope of this grant includes include planning, organizing, and reporting from one or more meetings of the internationally recognized experts in suicide on railroad rights-of-way known as GRASP, or the Global Rail Alliance for Suicide Prevention. This grant will build on the results of a previous grant that supported two international GRASP meetings and continue additional meetings and collaboration activities. The objectives of this grant activities include: (a) synthesis of the international efforts pertaining to the mitigation of suicide and trespasser incidents on the railroad rights-of-way and associated evaluation activities across GRASP meeting attendees (what activities are currently being conducted, the scope of evaluation associated with these activities, what has been learned, and what needs to be explored in the future); (b) assessment of potential collaboration of research and evaluation projects across GRASP members; (c) synthesis of GRASP&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#162;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s review of an implementation guide developed to serve as a resource for carrier critical incident stress plans to help mitigate traumatic exposure on railroad employees due to exposure to grade crossing and trespasser incidents, especially suicides; and (d) GRASP collaboration and feedback on one or more pilot evaluation projects that examine effectiveness and impact of selected railway suicide countermeasures, such as signage, media reporting, fencing, railroad employee training and education, or suicide incident data collection accuracy (e.g. Ovenstone Criteria).</Description>

The list of State and Territory Commissions can be found here: http://www.nationalservice.gov/about/contact-us/state-service-commissionsDirect Applicants Single State Applicants directed by their State Commission to apply directly to CNCS should do so. Please note that, after reviewing applications, CNCS may discuss with the State Commission awarding the grant to the Commission in order for the Commission to award a sub-grant to the applicant. Alternatively, CNCS may award the grant directly to the successful applicant, but also may work cooperatively with the State Commission to assign to them the responsibility to oversee and monitor performance of the grant. State Commissions interested in being assigned responsibility for oversight of AmeriCorps Partnership Challenge awards operating within their state should contact CNCS. Multi-state: Organizations that propose to operate AmeriCorps programs in more than one state or territory apply directly to CNCS.

        <Description>As a part of its current initiative, Standing Together: The Humanities and the Experience of War, the National Endowment for the Humanities offers a new grant opportunity: the Dialogues on the Experience of War program. The program supports the study and discussion of important humanities sources about war, in the belief that these sources can help U.S. military veterans and others to think more deeply about the issues raised by war and military service. The humanities sources can be drawn from history, philosophy, literature, and film&amp;#8212;and they may and should be supplemented by testimonials from those who have served. The discussions are intended to promote serious exploration of important questions about the nature of duty, heroism, suffering, loyalty, and patriotism. The program awards grants of up to $100,000 that will support 1. the recruitment and training of discussion leaders; and 2. following the training program, the convening of at least two discussion programs. The discussion groups can take place on college and university campuses, in veterans&amp;#8217; centers, at public libraries and museums, and at other community venues. Most of the participants in the discussion groups should be military veterans; others, such as men and women in active service, military families, and interested members of the public, may participate as well. Examples of possible humanities sources to be used in the discussions (in addition to those found in the bulleted list of hypothetical examples below), are available on the program resource page. Discussion programs must focus on 1. the close study of sources drawn from at least two distinct genres (such as fiction and historical writings, or memoirs and artworks, or philosophy and film); and 2. at least two historically distinct conflicts treated in depth: one from the earliest wars through World War I, and a second from the wars after World War I. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15as00189 Project Title Geoscientists-in-the-Parks and Mosaics in Science Internships to Support Science-based Resource Management Recipient Geological Society of America Principle Investigator / Program Manager Vicki McConnell Total Anticipated Award Amount $679,052.44 Cost Share $288,774.25 New Award or Continuation? Continuation Anticipated Length of Agreement From Date of Award until 6/30/2017 Anticipated Period of Performance Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) 16 USC 1723(c)(1) CFDA # and Title 15.931 Youth Conservation Activities Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW The Geological Society of America through its existing Cooperative Agreement # P13AC00336 and partnership with the NPS is committed to putting America&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s youth, emerging professionals and veterans to work protecting, restoring and enhancing America&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s great outdoors. Through the projects covered under this agreement, the participants will accomplish meaningful work and gain important personal and professional skills while building a lifelong connection to the outdoors. The GIP and MIS Programs strive to achieve the following goals: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Put Americans to Work: These programs will provide service, training, education and employment opportunities for young Americans, including low income and disadvantaged youth. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Preserve, Protect, and Promote America&amp;apos;s Greatest Gifts: The projects completed through these programs will help to protect, restore and enhance public and tribal lands and waters as well as natural, cultural, and historical resources and treasures. By producing high-quality, cost-effective project work these programs will also increase public access and use while spurring economic development and outdoor recreation. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Build America&amp;apos;s Future: Through service to America, the GIP and MIS Programs will help develop a generation of skilled workers, educated and active citizens, future leaders, and stewards of natural and cultural resources, communities, and the nation. The GIP and MIS youth internship programs provide opportunities for geoscientists and other natural resource scientists to assist with inventorying, monitoring, research, and interpretation/education projects on lands administered by the NPS. The projects and work products enable the participants, public, and park staff to gain a better understanding of the natural resources in NPS units and assist park staff with better managing its resources using sound science. Attachment A lists the internships covered under this task agreement and a general statement of the work to be performed for each project. The National Park Service, the Department of Interior, and the President of the United States have sought to increase science-based resource management in national park units, to improve the understanding of resources and incorporation of such information by park managers in making decisions, to improve the quality of information given to the public, and to increase the number of NPS partners helping parks. Hiring interns through the GIP and Mosaics in Science Programs address unmet geoscience and integrated natural resource science needs identified by parks, regions, networks, and central offices and advances the Departments of the Interior&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s and NPS&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; diversity and youth initiatives. The NPS benefits from addressing identified NPS objectives through the program partner, The Geological Society of America which has similar education and outreach goals. Public Purpose: This agreement serves a public purpose by promoting and stimulating education, job training, development of responsible citizenship, productive community involvement, and furthering the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of natural and cultural resources. The projects awarded under this task agreement will motivate the participants to be involved with the natural, cultural and historical resource protection of their communities and beyond. This youth agreement will provide opportunities for youth and inspire millions of young people to play, learn, serve, and work in the great outdoors. Work products will be available on the NPS Geologic Resource Division&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s website so that the public can gain a greater understanding of the geologic and other natural resource features and processes in our national parks. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The Geological Society of America (GSA) agrees to: 1.

        <Description>The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs section of the U.S. Embassy-Tbilisi received funding for the renovation of a Domestic Violence Shelter in Kakheti. The domestic violence facility is a short term residential center that can house up to five families for a period of up to 90 days. Families that use this facility are fleeing violent or threatening behavior and live at this location until permanent relocation can be arranged. Along with housing the families, the facility will have a large kitchen/dining room, administrative office, social services office, one reception room, one family room, a small warehouse and guard quarters. The purpose of the grant is to continue the renovation of the structure which was undertaken by the State Fund for the Protection and Assistance of Victims. The goal of the grant is to provide a facility and curtilage that provides a safe and comfortable environment for the domestic violence victims and their children. It is estimated that the funding provided by this grant will not cover all of the improvements desired at this location, so a priority list of improvements is outlined below. </Description>

        <Description>This is NOT a request for applications; this is just an announcement that an award has been given to NatureServe, Inc.for their work on the Expansion of LandScope Chesapeake. NatureServe Agrees To: 1. Recruit, retain, and supervise a full time LandScope Chesapeake Fellow with responsibilities for strengthening communication and outreach among Chesapeake Conservation Partnership organizations and promoting LandScope among target user groups. 2. Subject to successful matching through the Chesapeake Conservation Corps Program, host a one-year CCC volunteer intern who will expand the LandScope Chesapeake team&amp;#8217;s capacity by acquiring and publishing identified priority geospatial, editorial, and multi-media content from partner organizations. 3. Work with the Chesapeake Conservation Partnership Coordinator to expand the Conservation Partners section of LandScope Chesapeake to highlight and promote key partner organizations and to seek cross-promotion placements on partner sites. 4. Work with the lead points of contact in participating non-governmental organizations and federal and state agencies to identify, acquire, prepare, publish and curate spatial, visual, and narrative content for LandScope Chesapeake. 5. Enhance the LandScope Chesapeake land protection reporting and tracking tool to allow users to specify their area of interest, such as by selecting a sub-watershed or by drawing a custom polygon, and expand results to incorporate updated Chesapeake Bay Program analyses on protected lands in designated high value forests and wetlands (pending provision of these new map services and associated land protection statistics by USGS). 6. Seek opportunities to expand interoperability between LandScope Chesapeake and other partner-identified online resources beyond the current methods of cross-promotion via web links and integration of data and map web services by piloting dynamic integration of shared geoprocessing services and tools. 7. Through a combination of Google Analytics and/or online, emailed, or phone surveys, establish an understanding of existing usage, and a baseline against which to direct outreach to increase future usage. 8. Promote LandScope Chesapeake at workshops, conferences, meetings, and other venues which involve potential users and partners. 9. Work to secure funding from other sources to support targeted platform enhancements responding to identified partner needs. </Description>

        <Description>The Abyei Leadership Development for Ngok Dinka and Misseriya Women project is designed to build on the current and ongoing community dialogue efforts between Misseriya and Dinka Ngok communities in Abyei. This project will draw upon key women leaders to drive community reconciliation, dialogue, and cooperation, including developing a cadre or taskforce of women who are community leaders within both the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya communities. It will thus provide capacity building, training, as well as facilitation of meetings both within and between these groups so they may come up with actionable plans and recommendations to help steer their communities towards cooperation and stability.</Description>

        <Description>The Abyei Civil Society Strengthening Pilot Program is designed to make initial efforts at reinvigorating civil society in both Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities so they may be positive agents for change and help fill the vacuum in lieu of formal joint administration. This project will focus on seeking out existing of former elements of organized civil society, and helping these elements to reestablish themselves as organized groups. It will thus provide for both initial research and relationship building; support for logistics, facilitating meetings, and developing goals and action plans; and capacity building for civil society elements.</Description>

        <Description>Both hybridization and competition with non-native species pose a threat to the viability of the endangered razorback sucker. Ranges for both razorback sucker and flannelmouth sucker have been greatly reduced and both species are now confined to relatively small sections of the Colorado River resulting in overlap in timing and location of spawning. This has lead to hybridization between these two species. Understanding how hybridization may impact existing populations of razorback sucker will require information on egg viability and juvenile survival of hybrid individuals. Reliable means for differentiating hybrids from pure individuals in the field is needed. Hybridization has important ramifications for species definitions, listing status, and recovery of razorback suckers. We are proposing to investigate the egg viability, juvenile survival, and swimming ability of hybrids, as well as develop tools for field identification of young flannelmouth/razorback hybrids. Another threat to razorback suckers is low juvenile survival. Juvenile razorback suckers are found in shallow backwater environments of the Colorado River, where carp are the dominant fish. Razorback sucker and common carp occupy similar trophic positions and are often found in the same habitat. This suggests that competition with carp maybe negatively affecting razorback sucker growth and survival. We propose to investigate the effects of competition on the razorback sucker growth and survival in the laboratory using replicated artificial streams.</Description>

By their unpredictability and potentially explosive nature, emerging threats present unique challenges, particularly with respect to the development of MCMs, which normally takes years, requires substantial investment, and is associated with high rates of attrition. Many of the challenges are technical; some are economic. The problem of AMR presents special hurdles in that the discovery of novel drug targets unique to the resistant pathogens has proved increasingly difficult. Having a mechanism in place to engage external subject matter experts and develop far-reaching, but focused, technical reports that provide recommendations on how to address such challenges would facilitate progress in the development of MCMs against these national health security threats.</Description>

        <Description>Indian journalists are a part of a global community of media professionals who, on a daily basis, keep their readership informed, hold us all accountable, filter fact from fiction, and unmask false narratives masquerading as truth. A key part of the media&amp;#8217;s reliability in performing these services is credibility, which itself relies on adherence to an ethical code. U.S. Consulate General Hyderabad seeks proposals for the co-development of a media ethics course to provide a baseline understanding of the international industry standards media should strive to meet, including: accuracy, honesty, transparency, impartiality, and accountability. A complete proposal will include planning and executing a three-day workshop for the co-designers to deliver a condensed version of the course to communications and journalism faculty of universities in our consular district for their consideration of course adoption. (Please refer full announcement for details). </Description>

        <Description>EDA seeks applications to develop and test measures, metrics, indicators, and methodologies to help the agency more effectively assess, evaluate, and report on the full impact of its economic development investments on regional economies across the Nation. Proposals must discuss how robust indicators and metrics will be identified; establish appropriate program metrics for EDA investments and validate the statistical relationship between grant outputs and outcomes (capacity building) and realized (economic growth, competitiveness and sustainability) outcomes. EDA is particularly interested in appropriate program metrics for non-construction, innovation-supporting programs. Models must include testing on EDA grantees, an impact analysis design and how a valid statistical methodology will corroborate that the proposed metric model works. All metrics should be consistent with EDA&amp;#8217;s logic model. Deliverables will include an implementation toolkit accessible to EDA staff with operational recommendations in addition to reports establishing proven metrics, supporting analysis and statistical corroboration. </Description>

        <Description>Under FY15 appropriations for Asian carp prevention and control outside the Great Lakes, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will support implementation of the interagency Ohio River Basin Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework (Framework). The award will support specific activities and require specific deliverables that the Mississippi Interstate Cooperative Resource Association (MICRA) is uniquely positioned to coordinate completion of with multiple member state agencies and collaborators under the Framework. All work conducted under this agreement will be completed by contractors in multiple locations throughout the Ohio River and tributaries. This is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to the MICRA without competition under justification 505DM 2.14B 2 and 3. Competition for the award is not practical as MICRA is a partnership of the 28 Mississippi River Basin state fish and wildlife agencies that have management jurisdiction of the fishery resources in the Mississippi River and tributaries, host of the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force regional panel for coordinating multiagency aquatic invasive species action in the Mississippi River Basin, and is uniquely positioned to provide a nexus for the compilation of resources necessary to develop and implement the interagency, interstate Ohio River Basin Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework. With their status and ability to work amongst its member state agencies and collaborators, MICRA will be able to provide qualifications and perspective that no other entity would have. All work is designed to slow the spread and control the abundance and distribution of Asian carps in the Ohio River basin.</Description>

        <Description>In the Chihuahuan Desert, grassland deterioration continues to be one of the major problems facing ecosystem health (Savory and Parsons, 1980). Brush encroachment has infested large swathes of grasslands throughout the Chihuahuan Desert ecotone of the Southwestern United Stated and northwestern Mexico (Buffington and Herbel, 1965; Hastings and Turner, 1965, Van Auken, 2000). Increases in woody plant encroachment in semiarid grasslands can be attributed to many factors (see for example: Archer 1994; Archer et al. 1995; Archer et al. 1988; Bahre 1991; Bahre 1995; Belsky et al. 1999; Bush and Van Auken 1995; Fleischner 1994; Humphrey 1958; Milton et al. 1994; Neilson 1986; Polley et al. 1994; Schmutz et al. 1991; Van Auken 2000; Van Auken and Bush 1997; Van Devender 1995; Wiltzen et al. 1997). However, recent short-term impacts appear to be the result of enduring, high intensity herbivory by domestic livestock (Van Auken, 2000). Over-grazing reduces above ground grass and forb biomass, which increases woody plant establishment by enhancing seed production, seed dispersal, seedling establishment, plant longevity, and stand development (Archer, 1994; Archer et al., 1995). The objective of this study is to quantify grassland health using Mearns, scaled, and Gambel&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s quail as indicators. Because these three quail species inhabit a diversity of distinct niches (ranging from grasslands to riparian corridors) within the Chihuahuan Desert, they appear to be ideal indicators of broad-scale ecosystem change resulting from overgrazing. We predict overgrazed grasslands will show decreased abundances of quail relative to ungrazed grasslands. Furthermore, we predict heavily grazed grasslands will show decreased diversity of grasses and forbs relative to ungrazed grasslands, which will be reflected by decreased diversity of seed/invertebrate material in quail crop samples. Grazed pastures will be quantified as any pasture heavily grazed within the preceding five years, whereas ungrazed pastures will be those free from grazing in the preceding five years. This study will be conducted on ranchlands within south-central New Mexico and the Trans-Pecos region of Texas on which we already have pre-existing quail research being conducted. We will compared quail abundance (estimated using pointing dogs and flush surveys) and diet (determined from crop samples) across species, treatments (grazed vs ungrazed), and seasons (fall, winter, spring, summer) using multivariate analyses of variance. We will then use resource selection function models as a predictive tool for future habitat needs and/or to predict population changes resulting from increasing or decreasing commercial livestock production in the Chihuahuan Desert. These models will further our understanding of the population status of these three desert quail species, and will highlight habitat partitioning between the species in addition to quantifying their respective habitat needs. This study will compliment and expand already existing research being conducted by the Borderlands Research Institute at Sul Ross State University. In addition to the partnership between the Borderlands Research Institute and Sul Ross State University, this project will improve partnership capacities with the Bureau of Land Management, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, US Fish and Wildlife Service, NRCS, Quail Forever, Southern New Mexico Safari Club International, National Wild Turkey Federation, and the Texas Quail Coalition.</Description>

        <Description>Background: The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 is the landmark law that directs Federal management of wild horses and burros on U.S. public lands. Under the law, the BLM and U.S. Forest Service manage herds in their respective jurisdictions within areas where wild horses and burros were found roaming in 1971. To help carry out its assignment, the BLM established the Wild Horse and Burro Program, through which the agency manages and protects wild horses and burros, both on and off the range, while striving to maintain rangeland health. The BLM supports adoption of wild horses and burros into private care, however while the number of wild burros has been increasing, the number of their adoptions has been declining, and the BLM has had to contract with off-range corral facilities dedicated solely to holding wild burros. Adoptions in 2014 helped reduce the number of burros in holding by 346 animals but in order to increase those numbers, the BLM is seeking to support increased efforts at placing wild burros into private care. For every animal the BLM places into permanent private care, the savings in holding can be used to help further the BLM&amp;apos;s mission of managing Wild Horses &amp;amp; Burros. Objectives: Through financial assistance, the BLM seeks to support the development of strategies, activities, and projects designed to increase the number of trained and untrained excess wild burros placed into private care through adoption and/or sales programs. Public Benefit: Overpopulation of wild burros is damaging to the range and causing public safety issues. The public benefits from placement of burros into private care by not only reducing the number of wild burros living on over-taxed rangelands, but also by removing them from areas near major highways where their presence is causing automobile safety concerns. The BLM has several over-populated burro herd management areas (HMA) in need of removals hampered by the lack of available holding space. Each animal placed into adoption and private care helps lessen the burden on already over-grazed range.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>With the exception of elementary and secondary schools (public or private) and school districts, any U.S. nonprofit institution (public agency, private nonprofit organization, federally recognized Indian tribal government) working wholly or in part with the humanities may apply for a challenge grant. Affiliated institutions (for example, a university museum) should consult with NEH staff on questions of separate eligibility. Institutions that support research, education, preservation, and public programming in humanities disciplines are eligible to apply for an NEH challenge grant.     NEH generally does not award grants to other federal entities or to applicants whose projects are so closely intertwined with a federal entity that the project takes on characteristics of the federal entity&amp;#146;s own authorized activities. This does not preclude applicants from using grant funds from, or sites and materials controlled by, other federal entities in their projects.   </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>NEH challenge grants are capacity-building grants, intended to help institutions and organizations secure long-term improvements in and support for their humanities programs and resources. Through these awards, many organizations and institutions have been able to increase their humanities capacity and secure the permanent support of an endowment. Grants may be used to establish or enhance endowments or spend-down funds that generate expendable earnings to support ongoing program activities. Challenge grants may also provide capital directly supporting the procurement of long-lasting objects, such as acquisitions for archives and collections, the purchase of equipment, and the construction or renovation of facilities needed for humanities activities. Funds spent directly must be shown to bring long-term benefits to the institution and to the humanities more broadly. Grantee institutions may also expend up to 10 percent of grant funds to defray costs of fundraising to meet the NEH challenge.Because of the matching requirement, these NEH grants also strengthen the humanities by encouraging nonfederal sources of support. Applications are welcome from colleges and universities, museums, public libraries, research institutions, historical societies and historic sites, scholarly associations, state humanities councils, and other nonprofit entities. Programs that involve collaboration among multiple institutions are eligible as well, but one institution must serve as the lead agent and formal applicant of record. </Description>

        <Description>The Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants program awards relatively small grants to support the planning stages of digital projects that promise to benefit the humanities. The program supports both new projects in early stages of development and efforts to reinvigorate existing or dormant projects in innovative ways. Proposals should be for the planning or initial stages of digital initiatives in any area of the humanities. Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants may involve &amp;#8226; creating or enhancing experimental, computationally-based methods or techniques for humanities research, teaching, preservation, or public programming; &amp;#8226; pursuing scholarship that examines the history, criticism, and philosophy of digital culture and its impact on society, or explores the philosophical or practical implications and impact of digital humanities in specific fields or disciplines; or &amp;#8226; revitalizing and/or recovering existing digital projects that promise to contribute substantively to scholarship, teaching, or public knowledge of the humanities. </Description>

        <Description>This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to the University of Massachusetts, Amherst for a period not to exceed two years. This announcement is for notification purposes only. No additional proposals are being accepted for this funding opportunity. Description of Funding OpportunityThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is proposing a collaborative effort to investigate on-shore and off-shore movement of the proposed endangered Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis, MYSE) and off-shore movement of tree bats on Martha&amp;apos;s Vineyard, Massachusetts. In 2014, the Service funded a pilot mist-netting survey of Martha&amp;apos;s Vineyard to ascertain if MYSE were present on the island post-White-Nose Syndrome (WNS). Our results indicate that this species is still present on the island, and may occur in numbers greater than are encountered on the mainland in areas heavily affected by WNS. Preliminary data indicates that the capture rate on Martha&amp;apos;s Vineyard is similar to the capture rate of MYSE in New York pre-WNS.To follow up on last year&amp;apos;s effort, the Service, in partnership with BiodiversityWorks (a local non-profit environmental organization) is pursuing additional mist-netting efforts this summer, with the objective of radiotracking bats to identify roost trees and roost site characteristics. We will be using nanotag series coded radio transmitters for this effort to track bat movement using a combination of hand held and tower -based receivers. Using nanotag transmitters will enable us to combine this research with additional concurrent bat research for on-shore and off-shore bat movement. The receiving stations proposed to be funded by the Bureau of Offshore Energy Management (BOEM) and others will be able to collect data on all nanotagged bats. Moreover, researchers will collaborate on data collection and analysis and may assist in locating bats on the ground.We anticipate installing radio telemetry receiving towers on Martha&amp;apos;s Vineyard and one on Naushon Island (part of the Elizabeth Island chain). The combination of hand held and stationary receiver coverage should provide valuable information for both on-shore and off-shore activity. We will be partnering with research proposed by the University of Massachusetts and USGS to investigate off-shore movement of bats in Maine and Massachusetts. Combining our efforts will allow us to pursue bat movement on multiple fronts without the need for additional equipment and staff.II. Award InformationThe Service, Region 5 intends to make a single-source award of a cooperative agreement to UMass Amherst, a partner in the Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.

        <Description>PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A SOLE SOURCE REQUIREMENT AND MCC WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING QUOTES/PROPOSALS AS A RESULT OF THIS POSTING. The World Bank&amp;#8217;s team has a unique combination of in-depth expertise in collecting investment climate data and has implemented its firm-level Enterprise Surveys in countries across the globe since 2002. Besides its wealth of experts on the proposed team, the Bank has the ability to draw on additional experts and resources from the Bank when needs arise, including local country offices and staff to easily oversee field teams and quickly resolve problems. This includes existing connections with the local government. The Bank also has existing arrangements with an experienced local data collection firm as the Bank carried out earlier enterprise surveys and data analysis as in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. These resources will allow quick mobilization and field rollout during the summer 2015. Data collection in the summer 2015 will allow MCC to establish a baseline for the El Salvador II Investment Climate Project, and thus monitoring the impact of the project. The Bank&amp;#8217;s earlier experience in evaluating these projects also provides them with the ability to effectively revise survey instruments and provide insights and experience that other firms could not offer without significant cost and time. </Description>

        <Description>The western burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) is a species of special conservation concern throughout most of its range in western North America due to local to regional population declines (Desmond et al. 2000, Murphy et al. 2001, Wellicome and Holroyd 2001, Klute et al. 2003, Conway and Pardieck 2006). The species is strongly migratory in northern parts of its range; resident, migrant, and overwintering individuals occur in southern parts of its range. In some locales of the owl&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s southwestern U.S. range, habitat is being converted to other land uses such as urban areas and energy development sites. Because the species relies on burrows throughout its entire annual life cycle (Haug et al. 2011), losses of burrows due to development in southwestern states could diminish breeding success plus year-round survival of both resident, migrant, and overwintering non-resident birds. When a burrowing owl habitat is to be converted to another land use, the area must first be &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;cleared&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; by checking burrows for presence of burrowing owls and removing owls. This work must be done under permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as take of the owls, their eggs, or nestlings is a violation of MBTA. Except in emergency situations, clearing is to be done outside the normal breeding season, to avoid take of eggs and young. Burrows are checked via fiberscopes. The owls typically are captured at burrow entrances by using 1-way door traps or noose carpets. Then, burrows are entirely excavated and collapsed; care is taken during excavation to detect and capture any owls that remain. Captured owls are moved to a holding facility for 30 days to attempt to interrupt fidelity to the cleared site, then are moved to a pen for hack-release at a new site where, typically, artificial burrows are created. After another 30 days, the hack pen is opened such that owls may move in and out, with opportunity to explore new burrows. If there appears to be suitable habitat near the area to be cleared, i.e., with burrows present and possibly other burrowing owls, captured owls may be released at such a site, or the owls may be expected to move to the site after being captured and released at the area being cleared. This approach is known as passive relocation. Occasionally, eggs, nestlings, or fledglings are found in burrows during clearing outside of the normal breeding season. These are transferred to a rehabilitation facility where they are hatched and reared to post-fledging age, then are released typically at sites with artificial burrows. Regardless of origin &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; either removed from burrows as eggs or dependent young, or captured by trapping &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; the fate and survival rate of translocated burrowing owls in the Southwest is unknown. This information is critical in supporting the Service&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s decisions to issue permits for translocations, and, if permit is issued, how to develop conditions for such permits in ways that enhance success, from specific modifications for release protocols to post-release monitoring requirements. Objectives of this research include: (1) documenting fates of translocated burrowing owls (2) estimating survival rate of translocated owls [&amp;amp; comparing to what&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s known in lit.? basing this on a &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;control&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; group may be too much, unless capture-recapture can be used based on banded birds] (3) documenting post-release movement of translocated burrowing owls methods: VHF telemetry; color/alpha-numeric banding</Description>

        <Description>Conducting work to accomplish two purposes. The first is to expand aerial searches for golden eagle nests in Region 2 and possibly in some adjoining states. A thorough nest inventory is needed to help protect breeding pairs from disturbance and prevent loss of breeding territories due to prolonged disturbance, direct nest destruction, illegal take of individual eagles or eagle eggs, or land use conversion. However, major gaps remain in knowledge of nesting distribution of golden eagles in the Southwest and some adjoining states. est site locations can be pooled to more accurately depict spatial distribution of breeding pairs and help delineate eagle breeding populations. Characteristics of nest sites can be fed into models to predict potential nesting habitat. Nests also must be pinpointed, and their status documented (current use for breeding, and stage of nesting), to support the second purpose of this work. The second purpose is to deploy satellite telemetry transmitters (also known as PTTs) on golden eagles in Region 2 to address the following information needs for managing the population: (1) age-specific survival rates; (2) relative importance of various causes of mortality; (3) natal dispersal distance and behavior; (4) seasonal movement and inter-population mixing; (5) seasonal resource selection; (6) identify areas of high importance to the species, e.g., winter concentrations; and (7) behavior and movement of unsuccessful territorial adults and floaters. This information is critical for demographic analyses to determine levels of take of golden eagles, through permit from the Service, that can be sustained by the population; determine population management unit boundaries; select most appropriate management actions to reduce unauthorized take; and prioritize geographic areas and habitat types for conservation actions.</Description>

        <Description>The US Fish and Wildlife, Region 1 (FWS) is required to meet national standards in delivering coordination of conservation efforts in the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NPLCC). Created by Secretarial Order, the NPLCC is one of 21 national cooperatives established to promote cooperation and collaboration across major landscapes among federal and non-federal entities. The work is to improve natural resource conservation and management to address climate change and other major system stressors. Working in partnership with other agencies and organizations, the NPLCC will work to build Federal and non-federal partnerships in which new and existing science will be developed shared and employed to inform natural resource conservation actions that provide mitigation of and adaptation to the effects of climate change. Because non-federal entitles such as State and Tribal governments must be recruited as key partners to the NPLCC, a coordinator with strong state government experience, in the areas of natural resource and environmental management, will be an asset in identifying the challenges and opportunities in bringing those non-federal entities into a lasting partnership.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>WHO is the only eligible applicant; it is the only organization that is allowed by international agreements to address the issues outlined in this proposal. WHO is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system. It is responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to countries, and monitoring and assessing health trends. In the 21st century, health is a shared responsibility, involving equitable access to essential care and collective defense against transnational threats. States Parties to the U.N. have agreed to international standards on reporting public health incidents of concern under IHR (2005). Additionally, a majority of States Parties have also agreed to specific work-frames for pathogens such as smallpox under the Biological Weapons Convention.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>A natural re-emergence of smallpox is not deemed possible, but if it were to occur as a result of a terrorist or deliberate event, it would be a potentially devastating threat to public health worldwide and would constitute a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) under the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005). A case of smallpox detected by a member state requires notification to WHO as soon as possible, and any confirmed smallpox case would generate an immediate global public health response. Since May 1999, when the 52nd World Health Assembly (WHA) resolved to postpone the destruction of the Variola virus to allow for this essential research (WHA 52.10), WHO has been charged with convening a group of experts to advise on the need for continuing such research, to review proposals for research involving viable Variola virus, to review the progress of such research, and to report to the WHA each year. The need to support the activities described in this project has not changed. The Variola virus research and stocks destruction are expected to be substantive agenda items at the 70th World Health Assembly in 2017.</Description>

        <Description>States play an essential role in conserving and recovering species listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Listed species under NOAA&amp;#8217;s National Marine Fisheries Service&amp;#8217;s (NMFS) jurisdiction may spend all or part of their lifecycles in state waters, and success in conserving these species depends largely on working cooperatively with the States. NMFS is authorized to provide Federal assistance to eligible State agencies to support the development and implementation of conservation programs for listed marine and anadromous species that reside within that State. This assistance, provided in the form of grants through the Species Recovery Grants to States Program, can be used to support conservation activities for any endangered or threatened species, as well as monitoring of candidate species, recently delisted species, and species proposed for listing under the ESA. Proposals that address the recovery of one of the following critically endangered species are encouraged this year and will be considered a priority for funding: Atlantic salmon, white abalone, Cook Inlet beluga whales, Hawaiian monk seals, Pacific leatherback sea turtles, and southern resident killer whales. Funded activities may include development and implementation of management efforts, scientific research, and public education and outreach. Any State agency that has entered into an agreement with NMFS pursuant to section 6(c) of the ESA within 30 days of the application deadline is eligible to apply under this solicitation. Proposals focusing on Pacific salmonids will not be considered for funding under this grant program; such projects may be considered through the NMFS Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. This document describes how to submit proposals for funding in fiscal year (FY) 2016 and how NMFS will evaluate and select proposals for funding. This document should be read in its entirety; some information has changed from the previous year. </Description>

        <Description>To inventory, monitor, and research rare plant species. BLM-NM is in need of additional surveys for special status plant species on public lands throughout New Mexico, including Kuenzler&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s cactus (Echinocereus fendleri var. kuenzleri), Pecos sunflower (Helianthus paradoxis), Chihuahua scurf pea (Pediomelum pentaphyllum), Townsend&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s gypsophila (Townsendia gypsophila), and other species. It is imperative that the BLM have good information on where rare plant populations are located in order to manage them effectively. BLM-NM also has known rare plant populations that need to be monitored regularly to assess the condition of the population. Research on rare plant species in New Mexico is sparse. Aside from basic information on the location and condition of rare plant populations on public lands, having knowledge of the life history, best management practices, cultivation, and taxonomy of the species would also greatly assist the BLM and other land management agencies provide more effective conservation of these species. Predictive models of where rare plant species are likely to occur would also help BLM and other agencies provide better avoidance and mitigation of impacts to rare plants when authorizing development. To protect, manage, and restore priority species and habitats. The BLM can support this objective by assisting in the development of resources for habitat restoration and management. This would include supporting the development of genetically appropriate native plant materials for habitat restoration for both common and rare plant species, as well as supporting research investigating effective restoration and plant establishment methods. Draft an interagency recovery plan for each species, collecting seeds and plant materials, propagating materials for outplanting, carrying out reintroduction or augmentation actions, and monitoring the success of these actions. Supporting the development of resources that enhance our capacity to successfully reintroduce or augment rare plant populations will help the BLM fulfill its responsibility to support the conservation and recovery of special status plant species. </Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey will be assessing the potential effects of Grass Carp on aquatic macrophyte communities in selected small embayments of the Sandusky River and upper Sandusky Bay where there is evidence of Grass Carp presence. This work supports an existing CESU with the University of Toledo to assess spawning potential of Grass Carp in the Sandusky River, where spawning has been documented (Chapman et al. 2013, J. Great Lakes Res. 39:547-554). Aquatic macrophytes are important rearing areas for young Grass Carp, hence knowing where macrophyte beds exist and their species composition are critical to understanding this species&amp;#8217; ecology in Lake Erie, which will further inform potential control measures. Aquatic macrophyte beds will be assessed either remotely with side-oriented or down-oriented SONAR or using mechanical methods, whichever is appropriate for a particular macrophyte bed and the time of year sampling occurs. When sonar-based sampling is conducted, commercially-available software applications will be used to classify areas of potentially different species. Samples of vegetation will be collected from several fixed locations within each sampling area to ground-truth and validate vegetation classifications. Vegetation samples will be collected to calculate relative abundances and community composition of vegetation communities. The research assistant will be responsible for conducting vegetation surveys (sonar, manual, and ground-truthing), coordinating research with USGS researchers and potentially other agency and university collaborators, analyzing all vegetation data, and assisting with processing ichthyoplankton net and light trap samples under an existing Cooperative Agreement with the University of Toledo. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to provide funding for a cooperator to assist the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) to restore lands on refuges in Cameron County, Texas, to enhance habitat for endangered Aplomado Falcons and Ocelots under a project entitled &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Applying Strategic Habitat Conservation for Ocelot and Aplomado Falcon.&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; This funding opportunity is available through a Service program called the Cooperative Recovery Initiative, a strategic cross programmatic approach to help restore and recover federally listed threatened and endangered species on private lands and associated National Wildlife Refuges (NWR). Through this initiative, the Service combined the resources of the NWR System, Endangered Species, Partners for Fish and Wildlife, Fisheries, Office of the Science Advisor, and the Migratory Bird Program to fund on the ground projects which provide the strongest conservation benefit to threatened or endangered species that occur on or near Refuges. The Service, under the Program Title of Endangered Species Conservation, Recovery Implementation Funds (CFDA 15.657), intends to award the Friends of Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge (FLANWR), a single source award for $263,982.70 to enhance and restore habitat for the endangered Aplomado Falcon and Ocelot. The Service has been collaborating with FLANWR to restore prairie and thornscrub habitat for Aplomado Falcon and Ocelot, respectively, in south Texas. Funding for this agreement supports an on going collaborative project between the Service and FLANWR. The project will directly improve 1,581 acres of coastal prairie for the Northern Aplomado Falcon and 120 acres of replanted thornscrub for the endangered ocelot, but will benefit or indirectly improve a much larger landscape of prairie and thornscrub adjacent to these treatments. Funding under this agreement will be used by FLANWR to purchase supplies and hire contract specialists to restore critical areas for these species. Ramifications of this work include bolstering the size of the populations of Aplomado Falcons and Ocelots in Texas and moving the species towards the recovery goals listed in their respective Recovery Plans.

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wildlife Program is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to support of monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) conservation through actions which (1) create and maintain effective partnerships and (2) provide relevant, quality, timely research to resource managers. The eastern population of the monarch butterfly has reached historic lows, with an estimated population of 42 million in the winter of 2014-15, after a 20-year average of more than 230 million. The population decline has led to a petition to list the species under the Endangered Species Act, which the US Fish and Wildlife Service is currently considering. There is great interest among a range of organizations in improving the condition of monarch butterflies.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of High Energy Physics (HEP) at the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, hereby invites new grant applications for support of innovative research in neutrino physics. We are interested in research that would align with the goals of the Intensity Frontier Program (http://science.energy.gov/hep/research/intensity-frontier/) in investigating the properties and interactions of the known neutrinos and in searching for new types of neutrinos, as part of our implementation of the strategic plan for the HEP program (http://science.energy.gov/~/media/hep/hepap/pdf/May%202014/FINAL_P5_Report_Interactive_060214.pdf). Proposed experiments that are scienti&amp;#64257;cally compelling, competitive within the world program, modest in cost and time-scale, and technically ready, will be considered. Overall programmatic priority and optimization will be evaluated using the criteria spelled out in the HEP strategic plan. In exceptionally strong cases, directed R&amp;amp;D work in support of technology needed for larger scale future neutrino experiments, and theoretical studies that can address some systematic limitations of these experiments may also be considered. Priority will be given to those efforts that can provide publishable results within a five-year time frame. </Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) operates and maintains, under a management agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation, approximately 90 acres of developed parkland and wildlife habitat at Contra Loma Reservoir. This site offers recreational boating, hiking, picnicking, and fishing. Visitation, predominately from Central California counties, averages 150,000 guests annually. This grant will fund activities which will assist the Recipient to meet its obligation to improve facilities within the Contra Loma recreation area. As a benefit to the public, this project will: &amp;#8226; Improve parking facilities and roadway conditions at the reservoir site. &amp;#8226; Upgrade current parking areas and provide an adequate base for vehicle traffic use. Ongoing Federal investment in Contra Loma Regional Park will help the East Bay Park District maintain the popular recreational facility and increase the public recreational use of the site. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The East Bay Regional Park District will be responsible for the implementation of the project. Responsibilities include: 1.) Administration and financial management for the project 2.) Construction management, project completion and acceptance. 3.) EBRPD will be responsible for maintenance and operation of the facilities once completed. 4.) Submit final report. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award.

        <Description>As wells play out and become uneconomical to operate, they must be plugged, primarily to protect underground sources of drinking water by preventing migration of oil, gas, and saltwater from the producing zones to shallower fresh water zones. Occasionall, wells are left orphaned by a company that becomes insolvent. When that happens, reclamation bonds are often not sufficient to plug the wells that are left behind and reclaim the surface disturbances associated with these wells and facililities. It then becomes the BLM&amp;apos;s or the State&amp;apos;s responsitilibity to have the inactive well properly plugged and the surface reclaimed. Although it is BLM&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s mission to provide responsible energy development while protecting health, safety and the environment, BLM will defer to the expertise of the State to plug and abandon wells in accordance with State oil and gas and water quality regulations. </Description>

        <Description>This project is a partnership between BLM Alaska and an organization that can provide interns to assist BLM in completing projects related to natural resource management while providing internships for youth interested in natural resource management or support services careers. We seek to focus our work with partners to leverage our resources and realize maximum efficiencies in our efforts. In addition, with nearly one-third of our workforce eligible for retirement in the next several years, developing a talent pipeline is critical to the future of DOI and its mission. BLM Alaska strives to engage all Alaska residents, intern and visitors in public land stewardship. We are seeking to expand the diverse pool of interns interested in public land natural resource management or support services careers. BLM Alaska also seeks to engage communities near BLM lands, who subsist and rely on public lands every day. As funding allows, BLM Alaska will develop project description for intern service and partner-supported intern work opportunities on BLM managed public lands. BLM Alaska will mentor individuals with work experience for periods varying from a few days for specific field projects up to several months or longer. Inters can learn about the help administer public lands uses and natural resources involving but not limited to: cultural and natural resources; recreation management; visitor and intern education; interpretive services; communications and outreach; wildlife; fisheries; support services, among others. This program will provide opportunities for individuals to help complete the field level tasks associated with accomplishing performance measures, and to provide them with opportunities to gain hands-on land management work experience. </Description>

        <Description>The Common Fund Program - Accelerating Translation of Glycoscience: Integration and Accessibility - aims to develop accessible and affordable new tools and technologies for studying carbohydrates that will allow biomedical researchers to significantly advance our understanding of the roles of these complex molecules in health and disease. This program will enable investigators who might not otherwise conduct research in the glycosciences, to undertake the study of carbohydrate structure and function. In support of these aims, this FOA is intended to develop new approaches (catalytic methods, chemical/chemo-enzymatic methods, and technologies) to facilitate the rapid, robust, and affordable synthesis, and/or functionalization of bio-medically relevant glycans and glyco-conjugates representing 1) mammalian glycomes and 2) microbial glycans. </Description>

        <Description>This project will focus on Reach F1 which is 758 linear feet, and faces west-northwest along Harper&amp;#8217;s Creek and is bounded by Harper&amp;#8217;s Creek to the north and east as well as the NAS PAX Station Weapons Compound to the south and west. The project will design and prepare required permits for shoreline stabilization measures along the length of Reach F1. The design should include felling one 30&amp;#8221; diameter breast height (dbh) tree and seven smaller trees (8-12&amp;#8221;), trim two trees and clear at least nine dead trees from the bank. The design should provide for the installation of nine off-shore segmented rock sills, each 40 feet long. To move the water&amp;#8217;s edge away from the bank and promote a living shoreline, the design should provide for the installation of sand and planting of marsh grasses between the sills and the bank. The design should include goose fencing to protect the young marsh grasses, top soil, seed, and erosion control matting along eroded sections of the bank. </Description>

        <Description>The OCRP Synergistic Translational Leverage Award mechanism supports the partnership between two Principal Investigators (PIs; termed &amp;#147;partners&amp;#148;) who will leverage existing human-based ovarian cancer resources in translational research to address high-impact research ideas or unmet needs in ovarian cancer. Many ovarian cancer resources are confined to investigators&amp;#146; labs where they were first developed and are not always available for use by others. Often, resources are not leveraged for maximum use beyond the original source, and as a result, investigators expend time and money to duplicate those resources. These existing resources are expensive to generate, maintain, and make available to other investigators, but they may have broad applicability across many different types of research questions. Examples of human-based resources include, but are not limited to, biorepositories of clinical specimens, existing tissue banks, epidemiological resources, clinical databases, large transcriptome or proteome datasets, and databases of clinical data and/or metadata.</Description>

        <Description> The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to research, monitor, and adaptively manage Chorizanthe orcuttiana and Piperia cooperi populations, ecological drivers, and habitat (including competing vegetation), and analyze results to better inform an understanding of the species&amp;apos; status and ecological requirements, per the statement of work. The research of Chorizanthe orcuttiana and Piperia cooperi populations and ecological drivers, combined with their adaptive management (1) provides assurance against their potential extinction, (2) allows for removal of ecological encumbrances on their long-term survival and expansion, and (3) allows for re-introduction of the species in other areas of available habitat. Within the regulatory framework, the proposed cooperative agreement would ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act, Sikes Act, and NBPL Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan. Please see Statement of Work, provided as a separate attachment, for further details.</Description>

        <Description>This project will provide insights into the changing landscape and vegetation of the KKTR, which happens to be located at the forefront of the Southwestern tree die-off epidemic of the past 15 years. The dramatic changes in vegetation have consequences not only for the environmental state of the Monument, but also the view-scape provided by the vast woodlands and forests that surround the geological formations that helped the KKTR become a National Monument. Other benefits to the public come from the nearly ubiquitous cover of juniper on the landscape &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; and this project will be the first project to specifically focus on juniper mortality, which given current climate projections will likely continue.</Description>

        <Description>This project supports efforts toward monitoring Asian carp reproduction and recruitment in the Upper Mississippi River basin. Current research conducted by ISU has focused on sampling for Asian carp eggs and larvae throughout the Upper Mississippi River basin. Results of this project will contribute toward understanding of when and where Asian carp are reproducing in this region and mechanisms contributing towards population expansion. In addition, the results will also help identify how environmental conditions, dams, and tributaries interact to define spawning and nursery habitats in the Upper Mississippi River basin. Combined, these results will aid managers targeting spawning and nursery habitats for removal and/or control efforts.</Description>

        <Description>Published research from U.S. national parks shows that climate change is melting snowpack and glaciers, shifting the ranges of plants and animals, altering wildfire patterns, raising sea level, and causing other impacts. Continued climate change in the future threatens the health and functioning of plant and animal species, ecosystems, cultural sites, and infrastructure in national parks. Yet, published scientific information on vulnerability to climate change exists for a limited set of resources in a fraction of the national park system. Currently, published spatial analyses that examine exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity cover selected resources in approximately 142 national parks out of 407 total. Consequently, in many cases, national park managers do not have adequate information to plan adaptation of resource management to reduce future climate change impacts on resources. Most published analyses have examined natural resources, so the lack of information is particularly acute for cultural resources and park infrastructure. </Description>

        <Description>Background: Each year the various climate science entities in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho hold a 2-3 day conference to disseminate the latest findings on climate and climate change science to land managers, both public and private, regulatory agencies, and students. The conference allows researchers to share best practices and new information with each other. Conference hosting typically rotates between Oregon State University, the University of Washington, and the University of Idaho (U of ID will host the 2015 conference). The BLM and other Federal agencies support the conference in order to stimulate attendance and reach the widest potential audience. Objective: Support the annual Northwest Climate Science Conference in order to stimulate attendance and reach the widest potential audience with current climate change-related information. Public Benefit: Support of the conference allows attendees to gain new and updated climate information potentially useful in aiding planning efforts to increase climate change resiliency and adaptation in both the public and private sectors.

        <Description>The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Action Plan calls for strategic ecosystem restoration that addresses the biggest threats to the Great Lakes and accelerated progress toward long-term lake management goals. The action plan lays out a six-step science-based adaptive management cycle to prioritize ecosystem problems, select projects to address those problems, and assess the effectiveness of the projects that are funded to help improve subsequent decision making. The prioritization of ecosystem problems should enable GLRI decision makers to select a suite of projects that will make the greatest gains toward annualized measures of progress and ecosystem health by targeting activities toward strategic geographies. However, an explicit rationale for selection of strategic geographies has yet to be articulated or demonstrated. The current project proposes to develop, justify, and demonstrate a rationale for spatial decision making relative to non-point source pollution under GLRI Focus Area 3.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00212 Project Title Accessibility Review Training Pilots Recipient Indiana University &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; National Center on Accessibility Principle Investigator / Program Manager Sherril York Total Anticipated Award Amount $195,000.00 Cost Share none New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement P14AC00027 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 9/30/2017 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 9/30/2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.954 Conservation, Protection, Outreach and Education Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P14AC00027 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and the National Center for Accessibility (NCA) for the purpose of training, technical assistance and research in the area of accessibility in the areas of parks, recreation and tourism by the NCA. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. State, local and private entities (e.g., parks, museums, etc.) are required to conduct similar accessibility reviews of their facilities. By the NPS establishing a comprehensive SOP for conducting these reviews, NPS will be establishing an industry standard that can be adopted by state, local and private entities and adapted to their needs. NCA is often called upon by the entities to either (a) conduct assessments for them or (b) teach them how to conduct such assessments on their own. When this occurs, NCA will be able to use the model established by NPS in providing this service. Similarly, NCA teaches open courses to state, local and private entities on accessibility and these training courses often include instructions on models and best practices used by NPS. The SOP developed for NPS would be incorporated into these trainings to be shared with state and local entities. In addition, this process requires the involvement of the disability community external to NPS, which will directly benefit from being involved in the process and will benefit from the eventual implementation of the SOP&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s. Throughout the NPS system, Parks contract with many entities (such as ADA Centers) to conduct accessibility reviews and assessments. These external entities currently do not have guidelines to follow. These SOP would be provided to these entities to make their assessment processes easier and consistent. In addition, a significant amount of capacity-building around accessibility will be necessary to implement the standard operating procedures being developed pursuant to the above paragraph. Therefore, this modification proposes to support NCA as the facilitator and coordinator of a process to create a training plan to build system wide accessibility capacity. NCA has been the primary provider of training to NPS as well as state, local and private entities concerning accessibility, so they have the expertise and experience to provide primary support for this task. The goal of the training plan will be to set forth a road map for creating an agency-wide accessibility culture through training. This road map will be shared with state, local, and private entities for them to adopt or adapt when they want to similarly develop cultures. Further, once the training plan is done, trainings will be developed to implement the plan. Those trainings will be available to the public in many cases or can be adapted to be provided to the general public by NCA. The completion of this plan also will have an impact on the concessioners and partners who work with NPS, because their training needs will also be considered as a part of the plan. Finally, the Service will have ongoing training, technical assistance, and assessment needs met during the period in which new accessibility review standard operating procedures and training plans are being developed. To maintain an appropriate level of service to the field during the planning phase, this modification supports NCA to provide the ongoing technical assistance and training to NPS and state, local and private entities as appropriate to ensure continuity during a period of transition. All three of the activities described above are interrelated, so the ability to work on them together with NCA will be effective and efficient. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT NCA agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Conduct a pilot or pilots of the accessibility review standard operating procedures (SOP) developed under TA Number P14AC01604. The number and location of the pilots is to be determined as agreed upon between NCA and NPS. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Perform an evaluation of the effectiveness of the accessibility review SOP implementation and adjust as needed. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Develop and conduct training(s) on implementing the accessibility review standard operating procedures developed under TA Number P14AC01604. The number and location of the training(s) is to be determined as agreed upon between NCA and NPS. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Develop and conduct training(s) on programmatic accessibility. The number and location of the training(s) is to be determined as agreed upon between NCA and NPS. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide accessibility-related telephone and email consultation, to any NPS units and general accessibility-related technical assistance to public entities requesting it. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Develop on-line technical assistance guides, videos, and/or blogs on accessibility issues on (but not limited to) NCA website, through Facebook, and LinkedIn resources. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Collaborate with NCA and other appropriate stakeholders to identify parks to participate in pilots. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Coordinate with parks selected for the pilots to provide support in advance of the pilots. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Collaborate with NCA and other appropriate stakeholders to identify parks, individuals, or entities to participate in training. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Coordinate with parks, individuals, or entities selected for training and provide support in advance of the training. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Respond to requests for needs (provision of information, review of documents, coordination with parks, etc.) in a timely manner. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Consider the portfolio of work undertaken by NCA and its staff when setting expectations and deadlines. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; In conjunction with the University, evaluate the current status of accessible NPS programs, facilities and services in order to assess the needs for training, technical assistance and research that is needed to improve the level of services. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Work with the University to evaluate the current status of training, technical assistance and research in the area of accessibility in order to determine where changes and additions are needed. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide the technical expertise of the National Accessibility Branch to work with the University, to assist in the development and implementation of a national training and education program, including workshops, seminars, and fieldwork, for NPS and other federal, state, local and private park and recreation professionals, designed to increase awareness and knowledge of methods to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to park and recreation facilities, programs and opportunities. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Utilize the extensive resources of the Service in conjunction with that of the University to develop and implement a national technical assistance, information and consultation program for NPS and other park and recreation professionals at the federal, state, local and private levels designed to assist them in ensuring that their facilities, programs and opportunities are accessible to people with disabilities, consistent with applicable laws, standards and regulations. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Work with the staff of the University to evaluate the effectiveness of the partnership in providing education and training and technical services to make program modifications as determined by that evaluation.

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the U.S. Geological Survey&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement G15AS00003 Project Title Aquatic Invertebrate Life-History Strategies in the Colorado River and Tributaries Recipient Oregon State University Principal Investigator / Program Manager Dr. David Lytle, Oregon State University (OSU) Dr. Ted Kennedy, Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (GCMRC) Anticipated Federal Amount $25,086.00 Cost Share No Total Anticipated Award Amount $125,431.00 New Award or Continuation? New Anticipated Period of Performance 10/01/2015 to 9/30/2020. Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement CFDA # and Title 15.808 Research &amp;amp; Data Collection USGS Point of Contact Stewart Evans, sevans@usgs.gov OVERVIEW This project will conduct cooperative research on evolution and life history in highly altered regulated rivers including the Colorado River downstream from Glen Canyon Dam. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Project Title: Aquatic invertebrate life-history strategies in the Colorado River and tributaries. (a) In conjunction with OSU graduate students and GCMRC scientists, collect benthic aquatic invertebrate samples from locations on the Colorado River and its tributaries. Sampling will focus on tailwater reaches below major dams, but will also take place on reference reaches in relatively free-flowing section. (b) With the help of a taxonomic specialist at OSU, process the benthic invertebrate samples and identify specimens to the lowest feasible taxonomic resolution (genus in most cases). Maintain datasheets and databases with the information generated. (c) Work with GCMRC scientists to develop life-history models that connect the dynamics of flow variability with insect recruitment strategies. USGS INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part USGS is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, USGS will be responsible for the following: (a) USGS will collect samples from tailwater segments below large dams. Samples will then be provided to OSU to be processed by a taxonomic specialist there. OSU lacks the expertise and logistical capabilities to collect invertebrate samples from large regulated rivers, but they have the expertise to conduct laboratory processing of samples. (b) USGS will direct interactions between OSU staff and USGS scientists in evaluating and interpreting data and writing manuscripts for publication. (c) USGS will facilitate interactions between OSU staff and staff from Utah State University and Western Area Power Administration that are also participating in the project. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. (6) Cooperative Agreements - USGS Unique Authority cited at 43 U.S.C. 36d (Federal, State, and academic partners) or DOI Authority cited at 43 U.S.C. 1457b (not-for-profit organizations). USGS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: Single Source Justification Description: Condition 4: Unique Qualifications. The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a technical expertise. Professor Lytle and Oregon State University are world leaders in invertebrate life history and evolution and are therefore uniquely qualified to provide the technical expertise that USGS/GCMRC needs. Lytle has authored seminal publications and developed one of a kind mathematical models on invertebrate life history and evolution that will be adapted to the unique conditions present in the Colorado River downstream from Glen Canyon Dam. These new studies that incorporate Lytle&amp;#8217;s models and draw upon his expertise will describe how aquatic invertebrates of the Colorado River have adapted to highly regulated flows from Glen Canyon Dam. Condition 6: TITLE 43 - PUBLIC LANDS CHAPTER 2 - UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY &amp;#167; 36d. Cooperative agreements Notwithstanding the provisions of the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977 (31U.S.C. 6301&amp;#8211;6308), the United States Geological Survey is authorized to continue existing, and on and after November 10, 2003, to enter into new cooperative agreements directed towards a particular cooperator, in support of joint research and data collection activities with Federal, State, and academic partners funded by appropriations herein, including those that provide for space in cooperator facilities.

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support innovative, multidisciplinary, interactive, and synergistic program projects (P01s) that integrate basic, translational, and clinical approaches to understanding the developmental biology and genetic basis of significant congenital human malformations. To contain costs, each program project will consist of only three component research projects and associated cores. At least one project must use basic research in an animal model system and at least one project must be clinical or translational in nature. The component research projects must share a common central theme, focus, or objective on a specific major developmental defect or malformation that is genotypically, mechanistically, biologically, or phenotypically analogous or homologous in both animal models and humans. Any non-mammalian or mammalian animal model may be used, as long as it contributes to the common overall theme or objective of the program project. If the component research projects do not share a common developmental gene, process, mechanism, pathway, or phenotype, the application will be considered nonresponsive to this FOA.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00214 Project Title Collaborative Biological Research and Education Recipient California Academy of Science Principle Investigator / Program Manager Scott Loarie Total Anticipated Award Amount $140,000.00 Cost Share none New Award or Continuation? New Cooperataive Agreement Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award for five years Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award for five years Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.944 Natural Resources Stewardship Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Unique Qualifications NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW The objective of this Agreement is to implement a program to engage in cooperating activities focused on promoting scientific research, fostering a greater understanding of species distribution and the communities they form, and improving ecological inventory and education related to NPS lands. Parks have critical research and project management needs required for guiding management and policy, so that decisions are based on sound scientific information. Furthermore, the NPS lacks specific technical expertise and information technology systems to address pressing research and data management issues. Examples of needs for research include analysis of non-native species distribution, threatened and endangered species occurrences, phenological development of organisms, and changes in species distribution in the face of climate change. Additionally, Academy develops and maintains iNaturalist, an interactive internet data platform already used by universities, agencies, and members of the public across the globe. Integration of NPS and existing Academy data will enrich the value of a widely used research, education, and data storage web portal. This partnership will allow NPS and Academy to collaboratively enrich research and education opportunities to the public. The NPS is at a crossroads as it prepares for the Bureau&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s second century. NPS is focused on a strategic integration of our national parks and community-based programs. These efforts will better leverage our resources and engage the American public and citizen scientists to learn more about and contribute to our stewardship mission. Through the Go Digital action, the NPS digital experience will bring our online presence fully into the 21st century not only for accurate information, but for compelling knowledge and extended reach for community-based programs. This Agreement provides the terms and conditions under which the NPS and Academy will facilitate and cooperate in research and related activities of mutual benefit and of benefit to the people of the United States related to the protection and management of the natural resources of the NPS. Specifically, this Agreement will facilitate NPS and Academy cooperation in completing research and education programs that protect, explain, and restore natural resources of the United States. The Academy is a California non-profit public benefit corporation, and is authorized to enter into agreements with the Federal government. The Academy is uniquely qualified to engage in community collaborations with stakeholders and private funders to enhance the mission of the NPS, including research and education. The Academy is also uniquely qualified to facilitate citizen involvement and create partnerships for the common goals of the NPS and community, including community representation in park initiatives. Both NPS and Academy desire to cooperate with one another for their mutual benefit and for the general benefit of the people of the United States and future generations to enjoy the natural and cultural resources of the National Park System.

        <Description>The FY15 Prosthetics Outcomes Research Award is intended to support research that evaluates the comparative effectiveness of prosthetic clinical interventions, and/or their associated rehabilitation interventions, using patient-centric outcomes for Service members and Veterans who have undergone limb impairment or limb amputation. The objective is to improve the understanding of prosthetic devices, treatments, rehabilitation strategies, and secondary health effects. The ultimate goal is to advance the adoption and implementation of these evidence-based interventions. Proposed projects should be designed to provide patient-centric outcomes data regarding prosthetic devices, and/or related clinical interventions and must include the anticipated effect on patient care metrics. Principal Investigators (PIs) are strongly encouraged to collaborate, integrate, and/or align their research projects with Department of Defense (DoD) and/or VA research laboratories and programs.Studies relating to or associated with prosthetic devices, treatments, rehabilitation strategies, and secondary health effects are sought that:Include longitudinal outcomes.Compare different patient care approaches.Include patient-centric outcome assessments.Generate new knowledge that supports the development of new, or modification of, existing clinical practice guidelines and recommendations.Generate new prescription algorithms.Provide information on quality of life, reintegration, and/or return to duty/return to work as it pertains to those patients who use a prosthetic device due to limb impairment.Generate results and/or materials that are directly translatable to the clinic and patient use.All applications must demonstrate direct relevance to Service members and Veterans with traumatic extremity injury and/or amputation using prosthetic devices. Examples of studies that are appropriate for submission to the FY15 PORA include, but are not limited to, examination of the functional and patient-centered outcomes associated with:The specific time points in the course of patient treatment where the prosthetic intervention is the most effective.Different treatment algorithms to determine the most appropriate prosthetic device.The comparative effectiveness of different prosthetic devices.Evaluation of the prevention of secondary adverse consequences of prosthetic device use.Application of specific rehabilitation interventions to accelerate the time, course, or extent of functional outcomes in Service members and Veterans using prosthetic devices.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Mission to NATO invites not-for-profit, non-governmental organizations and think tanks that focus on international affairs, defense and security issues, and U.S. and European relations to submit project proposals which will encourage public discussion and creative public engagement in Europe on the major theme of &amp;#8220;The Future of NATO: From Wales to Warsaw&amp;#8221;. Grant(s) will be made on a one-time basis. The duration of programs may vary depending on the proposals, but the length of the project funded should be no longer than two years. Awards will be granted only if appropriated funds are allocated to the United States Mission to NATO by Department of State central budget authorities. We are looking forward to working with partner institutions to discuss the implications of the outcomes of the 2014 Summit in Wales leading to the 2016 Summit in Warsaw. Projects should promote one or more of the following themes: - Implementation of the Readiness Action Plan (RAP); - The Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF); - The NATO-Russia relationship; - NATO and the Southern Flank; - Defense spending; - Interoperability and collaboration with partners; - NATO capabilities; - Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD); - Joint Intelligence Reconnaissance and Surveillance (JISR) ; - Maritime cooperation; - Women in peace and security; and, - NATO and emerging global threats. Additional goals include combating misinformation and delivering clear messages about the importance of the NATO Alliance and its mission to a broad audience including the general public, youth and future leaders, the security and defense community, policy makers and opinion shapers in European countries. We are hoping to stimulate new ideas and to encourage public dialogue on the priorities for the NATO in the upcoming years. The activities funded with a Federal Assistance Award (Grant) up to $60,000 might embrace (but should not be limited to): - Public debates, conferences, round tables and discussions; - Seminars, trainings, workshops; - Public awareness campaigns; - Informational/educational interactive activities; - Public education projects; - Competitions. Please note: all activities should be targeted at European audience and should take place in Europe. We encourage: - New and creative approaches that utilize digital technology, social media and other innovative means; - Programs that seek to reflect the diversity of thought and background as well as gender balance. Applications must be completed in English and be submitted in a pdf format. Applicants must use the Application for Federal Assistance SF-424 and the standardized project proposal which can be found on USNATO website and in the application package. </Description>

        <Description>The western burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) is a species of special conservation concern throughout most of its range in western North America due to local to regional population declines (Desmond et al. 2000, Murphy et al. 2001, Wellicome and Holroyd 2001, Klute et al. 2003, Conway and Pardieck 2006). The species is strongly migratory in northern parts of its range; resident, migrant, and overwintering individuals occur in southern parts of its range. In some locales of the owl&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s southwestern U.S. range, habitat is being converted to other land uses such as urban areas and energy development sites. Because the species relies on burrows throughout its entire annual life cycle (Haug et al. 2011), losses of burrows due to development in southwestern states could diminish breeding success plus year-round survival of both resident, migrant, and overwintering non-resident birds. When a burrowing owl habitat is to be converted to another land use, the area must first be &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;cleared&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; by checking burrows for presence of burrowing owls and removing owls. This work must be done under permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as take of the owls, their eggs, or nestlings is a violation of MBTA. Except in emergency situations, clearing is to be done outside the normal breeding season, to avoid take of eggs and young. Burrows are checked via fiberscopes. The owls typically are captured at burrow entrances by using 1-way door traps or noose carpets. Then, burrows are entirely excavated and collapsed; care is taken during excavation to detect and capture any owls that remain.Captured owls are moved to a holding facility for 30 days to attempt to interrupt fidelity to the cleared site, then are moved to a pen for hack-release at a new site where, typically, artificial burrows are created. After another 30 days, the hack pen is opened such that owls may move in and out, with opportunity to explore new burrows. If there appears to be suitable habitat near the area to be cleared, i.e., with burrows present and possibly other burrowing owls, captured owls may be released at such a site, or the owls may be expected to move to the site after being captured and released at the area being cleared. This approach is known as passive relocation.Occasionally, eggs, nestlings, or fledglings are found in burrows during clearing outside of the normal breeding season. These are transferred to a rehabilitation facility where they are hatched and reared to post-fledging age, then are released typically at sites with artificial burrows.Regardless of origin &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; either removed from burrows as eggs or dependent young, or captured by trapping &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; the fate and survival rate of translocated burrowing owls in the Southwest is unknown. This information is critical in supporting the Service&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s decisions to issue permits for translocations, and, if permit is issued, how to develop conditions for such permits in ways that enhance success, from specific modifications for release protocols to post-release monitoring requirements.Objectives of this research include:(1) documenting fates of translocated burrowing owls(2) estimating survival rate of translocated owls [&amp;amp; comparing to what&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s known in lit.? basing this on a &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;control&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; group may be too much, unless capture-recapture can be used based on banded birds](3) documenting post-release movement of translocated burrowing owlsmethods: VHF telemetry; color/alpha-numeric banding.</Description>

        <Description>GENerators for Small Electrical and Thermal Systems (GENSETS) (SBIR/STTR) Agency Overview: The Advanced Research Projects Agency &amp;#8211; Energy (ARPA-E), an organization within the Department of Energy (DOE), is chartered by Congress in the America COMPETES Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-69), as amended by the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-358) with the following goals: &amp;#8220;(A) to enhance the economic and energy security of the United States through the development of energy technologies that result in&amp;#8212; (i) reductions of imports of energy from foreign sources; (ii) reductions of energy-related emissions, including greenhouse gases; and (iii) improvement in the energy efficiency of all economic sectors; and (B) to ensure that the United States maintains a technological lead in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies.&amp;#8221; ARPA-E funds research on and the development of high-potential, high-impact energy technologies that are too early for private-sector investment. The agency focuses on technologies that can be meaningfully advanced with a modest investment over a defined period of time in order to catalyze the translation from scientific discovery to early-stage technology. For the latest news and information about ARPA-E, its programs and the research projects currently supported, see: http://arpa-e.energy.gov/. ARPA-E funds transformational research. Existing energy technologies generally progress on established &amp;#8220;learning curves&amp;#8221; where refinements to a technology and the economies of scale that accrue as manufacturing and distribution develop drive down the cost/performance metric in a gradual fashion. This continual improvement of a technology is important to its increased commercial deployment and is appropriately the focus of the private sector or the applied technology offices within DOE. By contrast, ARPA-E supports transformative research that has the potential to create fundamentally new learning curves. ARPA-E technology projects typically start with cost/performance estimates well above the level of an incumbent technology. Given the high risk inherent in these projects, many will fail to progress, but some may succeed in generating a new learning curve with a projected cost/performance metric that is significantly lower than that of the incumbent technology. ARPA-E funds technology with the potential to be disruptive in the marketplace. The mere creation of a new learning curve does not ensure market penetration. Rather, the ultimate value of a technology is determined by the marketplace, and impactful technologies ultimately become disruptive &amp;#8211; that is, they are widely adopted and displace existing technologies from the marketplace or create entirely new markets. ARPA-E understands that definitive proof of market disruption takes time, particularly for energy technologies. Therefore, ARPA-E funds the development of technologies that, if technically successful, have the clear disruptive potential, e.g., by demonstrating capability for manufacturing at competitive cost and deployment at scale. ARPA-E funds applied research and development. The Office of Management and Budget defines &amp;#8220;applied research&amp;#8221; as &amp;#8220;systematic study to gain knowledge or understanding necessary to determine the means by which a recognized and specific need may be met&amp;#8221; and defines &amp;#8220;development&amp;#8221; as the &amp;#8220;systematic application of knowledge or understanding, directed toward the production of useful materials, devices, and systems or methods, including design, development, and improvement of prototypes and new processes to meet specific requirements.&amp;#8221; Applicants interested in receiving financial assistance for basic research should contact the DOE&amp;#8217;s Office of Science (http://science.energy.gov/). Similarly, projects focused on the improvement of existing technology platforms along defined roadmaps may be appropriate for support through the DOE offices such as: the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (http://www.eere.energy.gov/), the Office of Fossil Energy (http://fossil.energy.gov/), the Office of Nuclear Energy (http://nuclear.energy.gov/), and the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (http://energy.gov/oe/office-electricity-delivery-and-energy-reliability). SBIR/STTR Program Overview: The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are Government-wide programs authorized under Section 9 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 638). The objectives of the SBIR program are to (1) stimulate technological innovation in the private sector, (2) strengthen the role of Small Business Concerns in meeting Federal R&amp;amp;D needs, (3) increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal R&amp;amp;D activities, (4) foster and encourage participation by socially and economically disadvantaged and women-owned Small Business Concerns, and (5) improve the return on investment from Federally funded research and economic benefits to the Nation. The objective of the STTR program is to stimulate cooperative partnerships of ideas and technologies between Small Business Concerns and partnering Research Institutions through Federally funded R&amp;amp;D activities. ARPA-E administers a joint SBIR/STTR program in accordance with the Small Business Act and the SBIR and STTR Policy Directives issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). ARPA-E provides SBIR/STTR funding in three phases (Phase I, Phase II, and Phase IIS). Technical Program Overview: The GENSETS Program &amp;#8211; GENerators for Small Electrical and Thermal Systems &amp;#8211; seeks to fund the development of potentially disruptive generator technologies that will enable widespread deployment of residential Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems. Here, CHP is defined as the distributed generation of electricity from piped-in natural gas fuel at a residence or a commercial site complemented by use of exhaust heat for local heating and cooling. If adopted widely by U.S. residential and commercial sectors, GENSETS CHP systems could lead to annual primary energy savings of more than 5 quadrillion BTU (quads). GENSETS systems could also provide annual CO2 emissions reductions of more than 200 million metric tons, which is roughly 10% of the CO2 produced annually from U.S. electricity generation and 4% of total U.S. annual CO2 emissions. The GENSETS Program seeks transformative generators/engines with 1 kW of electrical output (kWe) that have high efficiency (40% fuel to electricity), long life (10 years), low cost ($3,000 per system), and low emissions. Heat engines and generators capable of achieving these targets may include internal and external combustion engines, turbines, and solid state devices such as thermophotovoltaics, thermionic emitters, and thermoelectrics. It is anticipated that the same technologies developed for 1-kWe engines in GENSETS could be adapted to build larger engines with even higher efficiencies for various commercial sectors of the U.S. To obtain a copy of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) please go to the ARPA-E website at https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov. ARPA-E will not review or consider Full Applications submitted through other means.

        <Description>While fibrogenesis is an essential process in normal wound healing, aberrant and relentless fibrogenesis in vital organs such as heart, lung, kidney, and bone marrow can lead to debilitating symptoms and organ failure. Aberrant fibrogenesis at the cellular level shows remarkable similarities across different organ systems. Moreover, a disease such as systemic sclerosis or an injury such as ionizing radiation may cause fibrosis in more than one organ system. Thus, collaborations among researchers studying fibrosis in different organ systems may greatly accelerate research in this area. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites Research Project Grant (R01) applications from collaborating investigators to characterize and compare mechanisms of aberrant fibrogenesis and/or fibrosis resolution in different organ systems; develop novel therapeutic strategies aimed to lessen organ fibrosis; or develop novel technologies to study fibrosis. </Description>

        <Description>The Utah Bureau of Land Management would like to work cooperatively to have a strategy developed and implemented for identifying, prioritizing and implementing an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) program on BLM administered waterbodies. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has become the lead agency for the States AIS Program. The BLM has several waterbodies within Utah that could be adversely affected by the presence of AIS. For example, in the Northeastern Region of Utah, Pelican Lake is a Blue Ribbon Bass and Bluegill lake with visitors traveling from all over the country to fish. It is very important that there is a presence at the lake and interdict any boats that may be trying to launch harboring aquatic invasive species. This agreement will provide assistance via funding to employ one additional seasonal to cover the Pelican Lake area. Objectives: The principle objective of this proposed program is for the BLM to work cooperatively and partner for AIS work associated with BLM lands. Objective 1 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Educate the public and private stakeholders on the impacts of AIS and how they can help. Objective 2 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Identify and reduce threats of AIS introduction to BLM waterbodies. Objective 3 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Monitor occurrence and spread of AIS associated with BLM waterbodies. Objective 4 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Eradicate newly discovered and established AIS populations. Objective 5 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Control the spread of AIS when eradication is impossible. </Description>

        <Description>Quantifying abundance of wild animals forms an important component for managing and conserving species populations. The process of acquiring data for quantifying abundance in an accurate and informative manner, however, can be logistically difficult and costly. One method for obtaining vast amounts of data describing species presence and counts over time, inexpensively, includes camera trapping. Yet, it remains uncertain how useful data from camera trapping is for estimating animal abundance in an accurate and defensible manner. This agreement addresses this issue. Specifically, funding in this agreement supports investigations into how best to integrate and analyze data gained from camera traps to estimate species abundance. To date, there are some promising techniques to examine, such as spatial capture recapture and integrated population models. These new approaches are still under development and are rather unestablished in this application. The statistics involved are substantial and the mathematics complicated. Given this situation, this project will test the relevance and applicability of recent analytical techniques for estimating abundance on existing data gained from camera traps targeting populations of desert bighorn sheep, with animals marked and unmarked. If integration with recent statistical approaches proves unproductive, then this project will attempt designing new statistical and or methodological approaches for estimating species abundance with camera trap data. For this pilot effort, the project will initially focus on data gained from populations of desert bighorn sheep. The project, however, can rely on simulated data. The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is well positioned to work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on this effort. Previously, the Service collaborated with NJIT to advance abundance estimation for bears, using a &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;targeted sampling&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; approach. Essentially, sampling bears at salmon streams instead of across a wide landscape. The statistics behind this effort were unestablished and required new designs. This agreement follows a similar trajectory, with &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;targeted sampling&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; ungulates at water sources, and not across landscapes. Like before, the project requires establishing new statistical techniques for analyzing these data. Further, NJIT and the Service have examined how varying scales affect resource selection issues. This is also novel science, established by this team. Hence, this effort continues a trajectory of work between the Service and NJIT. The total project may reach $60,684.00. However, the Service will fund $29,838.75 initially to begin the effort. A subsequent mid year review between the Service and NJIT based on project progress, initial results, promise of reaching project objectives, etc. will determine if the remaining funds are obligated. This decision will be made no later than December 2015. The program authorizing statute citations are: Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended, 16 U.S.C.

        <Description>The purpose of this amendment is to: 1. Update Section 1.A.3. to clarify 2 CFR 200.68, and what should be excluded from the Applicant&amp;#8217;s Modified Total Direct Cost Base. Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), DOE intends to fund university-led traineeship programs that strategically address workforce training needs in the area of power engineering, leveraging wide bandgap power electronics. The following objectives guide the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Advanced Manufacturing Office&amp;#8217;s (AMO) traineeship efforts: &amp;#8226;Advance the DOE mission &amp;#8211; DOE funded Traineeship Programs are designed and implemented to advance specific Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) workforce competencies required for the DOE&amp;#8217;s unique mission to ensure America&amp;#8217;s security and prosperity by addressing its science, energy, and environmental challenges. &amp;#8226;Address priority STEM workforce needs and identified gaps &amp;#8211; DOE funded Traineeship Programs focus on advancing those critical STEM disciplines and competencies specifically relevant to the EERE and AMO missions where other U.S. Government or academic workforce development programs either do not exist or where DOE-relevant applications are not being leveraged to support specific DOE mission responsibilities. The Exchange system is currently designed to enforce hard deadlines for Full Application submissions. The APPLY and SUBMIT buttons automatically disable at the defined submission deadlines. The intention of this design is to consistently enforce a standard deadline for all applications. Applicants that experience issues with submissions PRIOR to the FOA Deadline: In the event that an Applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission, the Applicant should contact the Exchange helpdesk for assistance (EERE-ExchangeSupport@hq.doe.gov). The Exchange helpdesk &amp;amp;/or the EERE eXCHANGE System Administrators (EERE-ExchangeSupport@hq.doe.gov) will assist the Applicant in resolving all issues. </Description>

        <Description>**THIS IS A SINGLE-SOURCE AWARD NOTICE POSTING** Playa wetlands are the most important ecological feature in the southern shortgrass prairie (Haukos and Smith 1994). They are extremely ephemeral and, when flooded, very shallow. They provide critical fall, winter, and spring habitat to migrant birds, particularly waterfowl, shorebirds and Sandhill Cranes (Davis and Smith 1998, Smith 2003, Baar et al. 2008). Playa wetlands have suffered tremendous loss from sedimentation (that is, siltation from erosion of surrounding croplands), agricultural related excavation (e.g., construction of tail-water pits), and other modifications (Lou et al. 1997, Smith 2003). Federal, state, and non-government partners recently embarked on a modeling effort to develop a decision support tool for playa conservation, and embarked on a subsequent conservation initiative to conserve and restore playas. The decision support tool was used to identify high value &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;clusters&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; of playas; the initial phase of conservation delivery within these high value &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;clusters&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;, or playa focal areas, is addressed through this proposal. Playa wetlands will be restored by backfilling pits on private lands in both Floyd and Castro Counties, Texas. Back-filling pits is a cost effective means to restore playas. Castro County is a historically important area for wintering waterfowl and Floyd County has the highest density of playa wetlands in North America. Restoration will occur on playas that have 1) established vegetation buffers and 2) minimal siltation (that is, hydrology can be restored without sediment removal). Playa wetlands that meet these criteria will be identified by the award recipient using the decision support tool. The Playa Lakes Joint Venture was the organizational lead on developing and refining the decision support tool, although there was strong input from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other conservation partners. Further prioritization of playas that meet these categories, if needed, will be performed by the award recipient&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s GIS staff with cooperation from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff and other partners.</Description>

        <Description>3DEP was developed to respond to needs for high-quality topographic data and for a wide range of other three-dimensional representations of the Nation&amp;apos;s natural and constructed features.This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is issued to facilitate the collection of lidar and derived elevation data for the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). The BAA continues the USGS&amp;#8217;s long-standing approach to elevation data acquisition through a combination of contracting through the USGS Geospatial Products and Services Contracts (GPSC) and partner acquisitions. The BAA is meant to provide increased visibility to these existing processes for data acquisition partnerships to the broadest stakeholder community possible.</Description>

        <Description>The rich matrix of chemical and biological data developed during the first five years of the US Fish &amp;amp; Wildlife Service&amp;apos;s contribution to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative offers a unique opportunity to develop predictive models for (i) identified CEC chemicals and mixtures of greatest concern in Great Lakes tributaries, and (ii) to couple predictive pollution models with fish population models to identify stream reaches of concern. The ultimate goal of this research framework is, therefore, to identify CECs of greatest concern and their mixtures that may pose a risk to fish population health due to their presence and concentrations in Great Lakes tributaries. In order to reach this goal, multiple objectives need to be accomplished. There is not an application process for this funding opportunity. This is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement to St. Cloud State University (SCSU) Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory under justification 505DM 2.14.B. (2) and (4). This project is a continuation of the activities presently being conducted in cooperation with SCSU. Therefore, SCSU is uniquely qualified to continue/complete the activities and it is necessary to have continuity for the satisfactory completion of the project.</Description>

The research impact will benefit the military, Veteran, and civilian communities. The QUAL is open to Principal Investigators (PIs) at or above the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) from any field or discipline who seek to bring their expertise to address the PRARP&amp;#8217;s mission. However, as part of the application, the PI should demonstrate that the study team has experience in both TBI and AD research. Preliminary data, while not required, is encouraged. FY15 QUAL Overarching Challenges: This QUAL funding opportunity requires applications to address one or more of the following FY15 Overarching Challenges: Quality of Life: The need for technologies, assessments, interventions, or devices to benefit individuals living with the symptoms of TBI and AD. Caregiver Burden: The need for technologies, assessments, interventions, or devices with the goal of reducing burden for caregivers of individuals living with the symptoms of TBI and AD. FY15 QUAL Focus Areas: In addition to addressing one or more of the specified FY15 Overarching Challenges, applications should address at least one of the following FY15 Focus Areas in support of the FY15 Overarching Challenges. An application that proposes research outside of these FY15 Focus Areas is acceptable, as long as the applicant provides a strong rationale: Care Interventions and Quality of Life: Research intended to stabilize or improve the quality of life of those affected by TBI or AD. Examples of research in this Focus Area include: identification and management of co-morbidities and modifiable risk factors (e.g., sleep apnea, obesity); cognitive training interventions; studies of health and wellness and behavioral interventions. Caregiver Support: Research intended to reduce the burden of care on the caregiver for individuals affected by the symptoms of TBI or AD. Examples of research in this focus area include: Caregiver training, home-based support, behavioral interventions, and relationship interventions. The following is specifically discouraged under the FY15 PRARP: Pharmacologic Interventions: Clinical or Basic research requiring investigational or U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs or medicines.</Description>

        <Description>The intent of the FY15 Peer Reviewed Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s Research Program (PRARP) Military Risk Factors Research Award (MRFA) is to facilitate high-impact, systematic, population-based research investigating the association between TBI and the subsequent development of AD. The research impact will benefit the military, Veteran, and civilian communities. Applications should describe how the association of TBI and subsequent AD will be characterized. Applications should carefully consider how their studies will characterize the cognitive and behavioral symptoms that result in functional impairments in the proposed cohort. Studies that use combinations of measures (e.g., neuropsychological assessments, imaging, genomics, and cerebral spinal fluid biomarkers) are encouraged. Applications that develop interdisciplinary teams or consortia as part of the support plan for executing the research are encouraged. The MRFA is open to Principal Investigators (PIs) at or above the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) from any field or discipline who seek to bring their expertise to address the PRARP&amp;#8217;s mission. However, as part of the application, the PI should demonstrate that the study team has experience in both TBI and AD research. Preliminary data, while not required, is encouraged. Important Note: Applications must detail and demonstrate expedited access to a well-defined, already identified study cohort. Data that supports how the cohort will be used in the study is also required. The data must strongly support the proposed research hypothesis (or hypotheses). Refer to the Review Criteria in this Program Announcement/ Funding Opportunity for details. FY15 MRFA Overarching Challenges: This MRFA funding opportunity requires applications to address one or more of the following FY15 Overarching Challenges: Paucity of Research Resources: The paucity of research resources to examine the interrelationship between TBI and subsequent AD for the military and Veteran communities. Paucity of Clinical Studies: The paucity of clinical or epidemiological studies to examine the interrelationship between TBI and subsequent AD for the military and Veteran communities. Diagnostic Technologies, Tests, or Devices: The need for technologies, tests, or devices to detect the progression to AD subsequent to TBI. FY15 MRFA Focus Areas: In addition to addressing one or more of the specified FY15 Overarching Challenges, applications should address at least one of the following FY15 Focus Areas in support of the FY15 Overarching Challenges. An application that proposes research outside of these FY15 Focus Areas is acceptable, as long as the applicant provides a strong rationale. Genomics/Proteomics/Bioinformatics: Studies or technologies (e.g., genetic, proteomic, and epigenetic strategies) intended to characterize neurological change(s) associated with TBI and subsequent AD. In addition, relevant technologies or tests may be considered under this focus area. Pathology of Tau: Novel research and technologies dedicated to unraveling the basic pathological mechanisms of Tau associated with TBI and AD. Roles of Non-Neuronal Cells in TBI/AD Pathogenesis: Technologies, tests, studies, or devices that will examine the roles of astrocytes (or other non-neuronal cells) in AD neurodegeneration due to TBI. Imaging: Development and application of anatomic and molecular imaging strategies to characterize neurological change associated with TBI and subsequent AD. The following is specifically discouraged under the FY15 PRARP: Pharmacologic Interventions: Clinical or Basic research requiring investigational or U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs or medicines.</Description>

The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned.

        <Description>National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them. These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation. The Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area will support community historic preservation and environmental conservation initiatives that are associated with its approved Management Plan and serve a public purpose under PL 106-319, as amended by PL 109-318. The heritage area will also conduct public outreach and programming projects.</Description>

        <Description>The Peer Reviewed Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s Research Program (PRARP) Convergence Science Research Award (CSRA) mechanism was first offered in FY12. Since then, 92 CSRA applications have been received, and 22 have been recommended for funding. The intent of the FY15 CSRA is to support efforts to generate research resources, tools, or novel research efforts for researchers and/or practitioners in health sciences related to the PRARP&amp;#8217;s mission. The research impact will benefit the military, Veteran, and civilian communities. The CSRA is open to Principal Investigators (PIs) at or above the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) from any field or discipline who seek to bring their expertise to address the PRARP&amp;#8217;s mission. However, as part of the application, the PI should demonstrate that the study team has experience in both TBI and AD research. Preliminary data, while not required, is encouraged. FY15 CSRA Overarching Challenges: This CSRA funding opportunity requires applications to address one or more of the following Overarching Challenges: Paucity of Research Resources: The paucity of research resources to examine the interrelationship between TBI and subsequent AD for the military and Veteran communities. Paucity of Clinical Studies: The paucity of clinical or epidemiological studies to examine the interrelationship between TBI and subsequent AD for the military and Veteran communities. Diagnostic Technologies, Tests, or Devices: The need for technologies, tests, or devices to detect the progression to AD subsequent to TBI. FY15 CSRA Focus Areas: In addition to addressing one or more of the specified FY15 Overarching Challenges, applications should also address at least one of the following FY15 Focus Areas in support of the FY15 Overarching Challenges. An application that proposes research outside of the FY15 Focus Areas is acceptable, as long as the applicant provides a strong rationale. Genomics/Proteomics/Bioinformatics: Studies or technologies (e.g., genetic, proteomic, and epigenetic strategies) intended to characterize neurological change(s) associated with TBI and subsequent AD. In addition, relevant technologies or tests may be considered under this focus area. Pathology of Tau: Novel research and technologies dedicated to unraveling the basic pathological mechanisms of Tau associated with TBI and AD. Roles of Non-Neuronal Cells in TBI/AD Pathogenesis: Technologies, tests, studies, or devices that will examine the roles of astrocytes (or other non-neuronal cells) in AD neurodegeneration due to TBI. Novel Target Identification: Basic research (non-human) directly leading to the identification of new targets for the development of existing or new investigational medicines, drugs, or agents. The following is specifically discouraged under the FY15 PRARP: Pharmacologic Interventions: Clinical or Basic research requiring investigational or U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs or medicines.</Description>

        <Description>The ERP Idea Development Award (IDA) mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. The intent of the ERP IDA is to solicit research to understand the magnitude and underlying mechanisms of PTE, especially in Service members and Veterans while benefitting the civilian community. To this end, the ERP has identified research Focus Areas for FY15 by which the intent of this mechanism can be facilitated (see Section I.B., FY15 ERP Focus Areas). The ERP IDA award offers two levels of funding. Level I is intended to support investigator-initiated research that may be high-risk and/or high-gain. Level II is intended to support advanced studies that may be multidisciplinary in nature, and/or have multiple collaborators. Applications to either Level I or II should provide relevant preliminary data to support the application&amp;#8217;s research hypothesis (or hypotheses). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level most appropriate to the proposed research. The IDA is open to Principal Investigators (PIs) at or above the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) from any field or discipline who seek to bring their expertise to address the ERP&amp;#8217;s mission. However, as part of the application, the PI should demonstrate that the study team has experience in both TBI and epilepsy research.

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office seeks to provide to land owners and managers a regional, climate-smart planning approach and framework to identify, prioritize, and coordinate land conservation and habitat restoration efforts for the western snowy plover along the Monterey Bay. This framework document would include analysis and summary of data on current threats to the species, plus the predicted future effects of climate change. This framework document would also include prioritization of coastal habitats and beach segments for climate-smart restoration and/or enhancement. Finally, summarized findings would be presented at a regional workshop for restoration specialists, agency stakeholders, coastal landowners and conservation lands managers.</Description>

        <Description>The Tribal Wildlife Grants (TWG) Program fall under the wildlife conservation grants (known as the State Wildlife Grants Program) to States and to the District of Columbia, U.S. Territories, and Tribes under provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitat, species of Tribal cultural or traditional importance, including species that are not hunted or fished. TWG originates from the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (Pub. L. 107-63), when Congress first specified that the Service use a portion of the funds under the State Wildlife Grants Program to establish a competitive grant program available to federally recognized Tribes. This language allowed the Secretary of the Department of the Interior, through the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), to establish a separate competitive Tribal grant program, known as TWG, which would not be subject to the provisions of the formula-based State Wildlife Grants Program, or other requirements of the State Wildlife Grants Program portion.</Description>

        <Description>This program model encourages preservation of public lands through education and stewardship activities. Girl Scout engagement with educational and volunteer-service activities is important for the immediate and future preservation of public lands. The Girl Scout Ranger Program creates opportunities for Girl Scouts to become natural environmental leaders by applying their learning to national parks. This partnership between NPS and GSUSA is a vehicle that will create a pathway for Girl Scouts to experience public land management through field-based learning and exposure to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) careers related to natural resource management, thereby helping to create a land ethic and cultivating environmental stewardship.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this research is to design and evaluate strategies for the appropriate triage of older adults with potential traumatic brain injury who are taking anticoagulants and platelet inhibitors. The first stage will be to assess the burden (e.g., death, disability, hospitalization, required procedures) of TBI among older adults taking anticoagulants and platelet inhibitors. The next stage will be the development of tools to improve triage of these high risk patients by an EMT (emergency medical technician), including an appropriate medication history and performing novel field-based neurologic screening, beyond the current Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) standard. </Description>

        <Description>The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) and the BLM Utah have been working cooperatively over the last five years to implement conservation measures for aquatic special status species with the goal of ensuring the species long-term persistence and preventing them from being listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), The UDWR and BLM UT have been successful with this effort by implementing conservation actions for these imperiled species through a previous assistance agreement that has expired. The UDWR and BLM UT wish to continue to implement this successful conservation work for these imperiled aquatic species to ensure their long-term persistence and prevent listing under the ESA. The work that will accomplished through this agreement involves completing many activities relating to aquatic special status species conservation agreements that BLM Utah is signatory to including: habitat surveys to gain knowledge on current distribution, movement and live history studies, potential reintroductions into historical habitats, work to maintain water in important habitats, removal of barriers to aquatic passage and work to improve habitat and help conserve these BLM aquatic sensitive species. Objectives: The overall objective of the conservation agreements and this agreement is to ensure the long-term persistence of the species by eliminating or significantly reducing threats and restoring populations throughout the historic range. Objectives under this agreement to address this would include completing conservation actions for aquatic special status species including: Objective 1 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Determine the existing range of special status aquatic species.Objective 2 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Identify and reduce threats to special status aquatic species and associated habitats.Objective 3 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Maintain and monitor existing self-sustaining populations and their habitatObjective 4 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Restore populations at selected localities within the historic range.Objective 5 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Augment selected populations if necessary.</Description>

        <Description>The project will consist of toxicity testing of 2 newly registered herbicides, imazamox and penoxsulam on Delta Smelt. Two bioassays will be performed to determine if the herbicides have any effects on the endocrine function (androgenic and estrogenic) of delta smelt during their life history. A preliminary will utilize the Japanese Medaka to determine endocrine effects of these low-toxicity chemicals and secondary endocrine tests with delta smelt will be applied based on the robustness of Medaka results. Water samples will be submitted to chemical analysis to determine concentrations of herbicides.</Description>

        <Description>The primary purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to stabilize 820 linear feet of the Patuxent River shoreline along the northern face of NRC Solomon&amp;#8217;s, replenishing the sand that &amp;#8216;feeds&amp;#8217; the historic Point Patience spit, and to assess the success of the restoration/stabilization effort. The proposed project will provide both habitat enhancements and water quality benefits for the near shore environment of NRC Solomon&amp;#8217;s as well as to both the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay. A baseline survey shall be done to establish baseline conditions of the 820 linear feet of shoreline prior to implementation. The baseline assessment effort will aid in the evaluation of the restoration effectiveness. A preliminary report will be prepared upon completion of the baseline survey. The information contained in the preliminary report will feed into the final restoration assessment report which includes the before and after conditions. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is soliciting proposals from eligible parties for an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cooperative agreement to provide financial assistance to an eligible organization to research and analyze the economics of implementing integrated pest management (IPM) in K-12 public and Tribal schools in the United States. IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests that combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks. The grantee will conduct an analysis of the short- and long-term economics of implementing an IPM program in a school district. This will include highlighting such issues as the costs and/or savings associated with transitioning from calendar-based pesticide applications to an IPM program, the economics of reduced pesticide applications, the economic impacts on school districts from absenteeism related to asthma incidences at school and, if feasible, energy savings realized from pest exclusion activities. Other deliverables should include documents crafted for school administrators that includes key findings from the assessment, and may include other material such as webinars and articles in journals and newsletters.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: Native Americans are a traditionally underrepresented group in the BLM work force. Native Americans face many internal and external social challenges because they are essentially living in two worlds. On one hand they have to strive to be successful within their cultures; and on the other hand, they also have to learn to be successful within the larger societal context. Despite these obstacles, many Native Americans are realizing the benefits of an education and they are increasingly pursing degrees in natural resource management disciplines. The purpose of this program is to develop and implement a formal, collaborative tribal college internship program between a Tribal College/University and the BLM Montana/Dakotas. The internship would advance the education and training/experience of Native American students pursing degrees in disciplines (forestry, hydrology, cultural, wildlife biology, etc.) associated with natural resource management and are identified as critical occupations to the BLM mission. The internship would be for 12 weeks (mid-June through mid-September) during the summer field season, or during the academic year as appropriate for the training to be accomplished. b. Objectives: The intent of the proposed effort is to develop educational outreach programs with Tribal Colleges/Universities that provide students with practical experience in their chosen fields of study, and help to instill a public lands conservation and stewardship ethic. Participation in the Montana Conservation Corps efforts will similarly meet the mission and goals of that program: the mission of the MCC to inspire young people through hands-on conservation service to be leaders, stewards of the land, and engaged citizens who improve their communities, is brought to life through our five core program objectives. Our goal is that each participant will leave MCC with the following: 1) An ethic of volunteer service and civic responsibility 2) Strengthened communication and team-building skills 3) Enhanced competencies to be leaders and contributing team members 4) Increased knowledge of the natural environment 5) An enthusiasm for the benefits of hard work and quality results The internship would advance the education and training/experience of Native American students pursing degrees in disciplines associated with natural resource management (forestry, hydrology, cultural, wildlife biology, etc.), and are disciplines that have also been identified as critical occupations to the BLM mission. Students would be introduced to BLM and the management of public lands and be identified as likely candidates for future employment opportunities with the BLM. The internship would be for 12 weeks (mid-June through mid-September) during the summer field season, or during the academic year as appropriate for the training to be accomplished. As part of their academic curriculum students would be required to take part in an internship program and write an undergraduate thesis based on their internship experience. </Description>

        <Description>The Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) Program of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving grant applications for collaborative research in fusion energy science as part of the DIII-D national research program. The mission of the DIII-D program is to establish the scientific basis for the optimization of the tokamak approach to fusion energy production. The primary means to accomplish this mission is research utilizing the DIII-D tokamak to develop the ultimate potential of the tokamak concept as a magnetic confinement system. The DIII-D program also involves foundational fusion energy science research to make progress on a broad front toward predictive understanding of fusion plasmas. The major strengths of the program are the highly flexible and well-diagnosed DIII-D tokamak and a large collaborative research team from the national and international fusion community. All applications will utilize the DIII-D National Fusion Facility at General Atomics in San Diego, California. This includes modeling proposals utilizing DIII-D data. All applicants (whether requesting support for individual researchers or groups of researchers) planning to submit applications for new or renewal support in Fiscal Year 2016 should submit applications in response to this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Applications that are not primarily focused on research using the DIII-D tokamak are outside the scope of this FOA and should not be submitted under it. Applications primarily consisting of simple requests for experimental run time on DIII-D are also outside the scope of this FOA and should not be submitted under it.</Description>

        <Description>It is well documented that the United States is becoming an increasingly racially and ethnically diverse country. By 2050 there will be no ethnic majority in the United States (U.S.). There is a need to ensure that the disability community keeps pace with and is responsive to the rapidly changing demographics of the country and the UCEDDs should play a critical role in such an effort. The DD Act recognizes the important role that UCEDDs play in enhancing the diversity of the workforce, requiring that UCEDDs enhance efforts to recruit and retain underrepresented groups at all levels in order to respond to the needs of nation&amp;#8217;s burgeoning diverse communities. It is essential now more than ever to ensure that UCEDDs are well positioned to address the unprecedented growth of diverse communities, including the growth in the number of people with disabilities, to ensure the future yields prosperity for all. To this end, UCEDDs need to know how to align their training programs and overall UCEDD organizational framework to truly reflect and respond to our nation&amp;#8217;s rich diversity. AIDD plans to award on a competitive basis, one year National Training Initiative grants to multiple existing grantees; the University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) to pay for the federal share of a diversity fellowship program. Funds are to used to support recruitment and retention of traineees from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to participate in a fellowship experience at the UCEDD and to work towards the long term goals of: Increasing diversity of leadership, staff and governing bodies across the DD network; Building cultural competence capacity with the leadership, staff, and governing bodies across the DD network; Increasing the number of persons from underrepresented racial, ethnic groups, people with disabilities, people from disadvantaged backgrounds who benefit from AIDD supported programs; and Improving the recruitment and employment of underrepresented groups including racial and ethnic groups, people with disabilities, and people from diverse or disadvantaged backgrounds in the UCEDD. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA.

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Is initiating actions for Eriodictyon altissimum -Indian Knob mountain balm- to further its recovery in accordance with goals contained in the species recovery plan -1998. This project will examine the population genetics of Eriodictyon altissimum using &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;next generation sequencing&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; -NGS. Rapid advances in this new technology are reducing the cost of sequencing and, thus, making it affordable to individual investigators. We propose to use the NGS technique known as &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;restriction site associated DNA sequencing&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; -RADseq- to generate an extensive dataset of single nucleotide polymorphisms -SNPs- to evaluate several critical questions pertaining to E. altissimum. First, we will use the SNP dataset to examine the genetic diversity within and between occurrences of E. altissimum using traditional population genetics metrics. This analysis will provide a crucial management tool, potentially identifying occurrences with high and low genetic diversity, as well as occurrences with unique genetic diversity. Second, we will use the SNP dataset to develop a preliminary hypothesis regarding the number of individuals -genets- in each occurrence. This will permit us to evaluate within each occurrence: 1 clonality, the signature of which would be spatially clustered, genetically identical samples and 2 approximate number of individuals -genets-.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00233 Project Title Nutrient Enrichment Critical Loads of Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition for Aquatic Ecosystems in the Western U.S. Recipient Washington State University (WSU) Total Anticipated Award Amount $49,671.00 Cost Share None Anticipated Length of Agreement 20 months Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award to 3/31/2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Resources of the National Park System (CESU) Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation and (4) Unique Qualifications Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Nitrogen pollution threatens to alter protected ecosystems throughout the Western U.S., including wilderness, national parks, and national forests. Nitrogen released into air by cars and power plants, and into soil and water by agriculture, can be transported through the atmosphere and subsequently deposited onto remote ecosystems as wet deposition (precipitation) and dry deposition of gases or particles. Nitrogen deposition can cause a range of adverse ecological effects, including altered nutrient cycling, reduced species diversity, and acidification. In the Western U.S., changes in the chemistry and ecology of high elevation lakes are often the first in a series of ecological changes caused by nitrogen deposition. Because lakes are sensitive indicators of deposition effects, testing for the onset of these lake changes is crucial for assessing if current management strategies and nitrogen emissions regulations are sufficient for protecting wilderness and other federal lands. The National Park Service (NPS), other federal agencies, and stakeholders are engaged in an effort to identify threshold or &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;critical&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; load nitrogen deposition rates at which adverse changes to ecosystems occur throughout the U.S. The National Critical Loads Database (NCLD) was developed by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program Critical Loads of Atmospheric Deposition Science Committee. The NCLD was created to support critical loads research, provide federal agencies with scientific information that can inform policy or land management decisions, and facilitate collaboration with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe related to critical loads. The NCLD database currently does not include critical loads for nutrient enrichment effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition in aquatic ecosystems. This project will gather and analyze data relevant to lake nutrient enrichment critical loads in the Western U.S. in order to support the addition of this information to the NCLD. The focus will be on high-elevation lakes in national parks and national forests, but depending on data availability and applicability, may include lower-elevation lakes on federal and state lands. The project will be completed in two phases. Phase I will involve data gathering, database construction, and data assessment. Data analysis will take place in Phase II. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The following are the objectives of the project: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Identify and gather existing data that can be used to assess nutrient enrichment effects in Western U.S. lakes, with a focus on high-elevation lakes in national parks and national forests. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Analyze available data to assess the extent of deposition-induced nutrient enrichment in Western U.S. lakes. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; If possible, calculate regional critical loads. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The WSU has a graduate student, who will complete this project as part of his Ph.D. dissertation and post-doctoral work. The Graduate Student (GS) wrote the study plan in consultation with NPS staff and a key contact at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Clean Air Markets Division. Under the guidance of the Principal Investigator (PI), the graduate student will work with NPS, USEPA, U.S. Forest Service, and researchers to: 1) gather relevant water chemistry, biological, GIS, and nitrogen deposition data, 2) compile and format gathered data into a project database, 3) analyze the data, and 4) write project reports. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the NPS is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the NPS will be responsible for the following: 1) cooperating with WSU and USEPA to finalize project goals and objectives, 2) providing access to relevant NPS data that exist for Western U.S. parks, 3) facilitating data gathering by supplying WSU with information about relevant contacts at parks, universities, and federal and state agencies, 4) meeting with WSU and USEPA to agree on a data analysis approach for Phase II, 5) providing project oversight, and 6) coordinating review of project reports. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) Continuation &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity. (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications. Continuation and Unique Qualifications: The PI and GS are uniquely qualified to complete this work because they have already conducted scientific research that is directly relevant to and will substantially enhance this project. Working with the NPS Air Resources Division under Task Agreement P13AC00955, the PI and GS have already conducted a series of experiments to quantify responses of phytoplankton to nitrogen increases in high elevation lakes at Mount Rainier (MORA), North Cascades (NOCA), and Olympic (OLYM) National Parks. Through this work, they have generated a unique data set of water chemistry, phytoplankton species distribution, and phytoplankton nitrogen response threshold that will be an important component of the database that will be constructed in project Phase I. In addition, the GS has already collaborated with NPS and U.S. Geological Survey staff to construct a database of water chemistry data collected in high elevation lakes at MORA, NOCA, and OLYM as part of his dissertation research. The GS is currently combining the assembled water chemistry database with data generated through TA P13AC00955 to analyze nutrient effects of nitrogen deposition on lakes within the three parks. Through this work, the PI and the GS have already: i) generated and gathered data that can be used to construct the database in project Phase I, ii) demonstrated an ability to collaborate with federal staff to assemble a database, and iii) demonstrated an ability to develop and execute a plan to analyze nutrient enrichment effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on lakes. Thus, considering they are near completion of a similar effort for three national parks in the Pacific Northwest, the GS and the PI are uniquely qualified to assess nutrient enrichment effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on lakes throughout the West more broadly. A single-source award to the WSU team will ensure the database they have assembled for the Pacific Northwest will be integrated into a larger Western U.S. database as efficiently as possible. Finally, the GS has unique qualifications that will facilitate development of project products that are maximally relevant to NPS and others in the regulatory community. Through the National Science Foundation-funded NSPIRE (Nitrogen Systems: Policy-oriented Integrated Research and Education) graduate fellowship at WSU, the GS took an intensive series of environmental policy coursework and then performed a three-month fellowship working at the USEPA&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Clean Air Markets Division in Washington, D.C. The USEPA Clean Air Markets Division is an active member of CLAD, is responsible for periodically reviewing the Clean Air Act&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), and utilizes information such as that which will be developed through this project to periodically review the adequacy of the NAAQS. Through his fellowship at USEPA, the GS gained experience with the development and policy application of the NCLD, which is currently maintained by USEPA staff. The GS is thus uniquely qualified to integrate data and analyses generated through this project into the NCLD, and thereby facilitate application of project data to decision-making by NPS and other federal agencies that will benefit from this project. </Description>

        <Description>Understanding the importance of life history parameters is vital to managing wildlife populations. Therefore, the work within this agreement will focus on ungulates, to advance understanding the natural annual population variability from a set of life history parameters. The effort will evaluate the following: a) the minimum population size at which a population of ungulates (sheep, deer etc.) is unlikely to go extinct; b) once we gain an understanding of the population size at which a population is likely to go extinct, we then compare these &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;rules,&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; namely the size of population, and persistence time, to that which game management agencies pursue across the southwestern United States. We can then compare the populations used in the field, to our recommendations from the demographic modeling; and c) because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and State Agencies remove sheep from source populations, to support other populations or repopulate new populations elsewhere, we identify the population trajectories of those source populations, based on the number of removals. The intent is to generate population models using a suite of demographic parameters from ungulates, to cover numerous ungulates, thereby assisting management of many species within and outside of the southwestern region of the United States. Such information will help with managing and conserving ungulate populations, while improving harvest regulations for hunted species. This cooperative agreement builds off a previous agreement (F13AC00236, Population trends and predicted trajectories of American Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the American Southwest) between the Service and New Mexico State University (NMSU). The Service and NMSU examined population trajectories for many pronghorn populations as they appeared to be declining across the American southwest. As with this agreement, there exists much public and agency interest to reverse these trends for pronghorn and other game ungulates. Previously, we identified the climatic drivers responsible for the population declines. We posited that larger populations are likely to be buffered by these drivers and should persist longer. This agreement builds off the climatic project conducted by NMSU by directly examining relationships between ungulate population sizes and population persistence.

A synopsis of all FY15 RTR Program Announcements/Funding Opportunities is available at http://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/pdf/15rtrpreftable.pdf. The intent of the RTR IDA is to support innovative, untested, high-risk/potentially high-reward concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods relevant to RT. Studies supported by this award are expected to develop robust data that will lay the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and study design. The Idea Discovery Award is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project. The proposed research project should be novel and innovative. Innovative research may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative and will not be considered for funding under this award mechanism. </Description>

        <Description>NMFS, with assistance from the New England Fishery Management Council (Council), is soliciting proposals for 2016 - 2018 that address Atlantic Herring RSA research priorities. Proceeds from the sale of research quota are used to pay for research costs and to compensate fishing vessel owners that harvest RSA quota. No Federal funds are provided for research under this notification. Rather, proceeds generated from the sale of RSA quota will be used to fund research activities and/or harvest set-aside quota. Projects funded under the Atlantic Herring RSA Program must enhance the knowledge of Atlantic herring fishery resources or contribute to the body of information on which Council management decisions are made. Priority will be given to proposals that investigate research priorities identified by the Council, which are detailed under the Program Priorities section of this announcement. </Description>

        <Description>Research and Methods in Health Statistics Purpose This initiative invites investigator-initiated research grant applications for projects involving the development and testing of statistical and survey methodology relevant to the conduct, analysis and reporting of health surveys and vital records. Existing NCHS data sets alone or in conjunction with other data sets may be used to develop and test new survey methodology, statistical analytical approaches or methods of displaying data. Individual stand-alone projects relevant to the collection, analysis, or display of data are acceptable under this announcement. The R03 mechanism is intended to support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources. It can be used to support different types of projects including: secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; pilot and feasibility studies; development and testing of statistical and survey methodology; and the development and testing of new survey technology. SURVEY AND STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY: Health research using individual and provider surveys and vital statistics is facing both new and ongoing challenges. In recent years, survey response rates have been falling raising concerns about possible bias in the resulting data. New concerns about confidentiality have been raised which may influence cooperation in survey response. Technological developments have opened up new data collection opportunities but questions remain about the validity and reliability of the data obtained through these new approaches. The increasingly rapid availability of health-related data from non-traditional sources such as website visits and other types of transactions has spurred the demand for rapid information dissemination but what is the accuracy and reliability of data from these sources? The expense and time involved in collecting new data argue for exploring ways to link data sets to obtain maximum use of existing data. Researchers have long been concerned about the accuracy of self-reported data. New methods of collecting biomarker data have made it possible to include specimen collection in traditional surveys, but how accurate are these new methods? How do they relate to self-reported data? Increasingly, there is a demand for providing data in easily understood, eye-catching possibly interactive formats. Examples of topics of interest under this announcement include but are not limited to: o the development and refinement of innovative techniques for measurement of biomarkers in survey research including the collection of biological specimens such as urine or blood, or other physical measures such as heart rate, senses, blood pressure, height and weight; o the development and refinement of summary measures of health; o the development and refinement of measures of health insurance access and use; o the development and improvement of sampling strategies for subpopulations of interest including minority populations, people with specific rare diseases or conditions, specific socioeconomic statuses, or people with only cell phones; o the development and improvement of methods of analysis for small areas or small subpopulations; o the development and improvement of techniques to avoid disclosure of confidential data in public use data sets; o the examination of characteristics of the interview situation that may affect the collection of unbiased data, the assessment of the sources of bias and the impact of biased data on results; o the validation of various sources of data including vital records and electronic health records; o new ways of presenting analytical results to a variety of audiences; o research exploring new data sets available from NCHS including the NHANES National Youth Fitness Survey (NNYFS) http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nnyfs.htm; NHANES oversample of Asian Americans http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/nhanes_questionnaires.htm; o NHIS sexual orientation data http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/nhis_questionnaires.htm http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr077.pdf; o U.S. fetal death data http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data_access/Vitalstatsonline.htm http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fetal_death.htm; o birth data files including multistate data for selected items exclusive to the 2003 revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr62/nvsr62_04.pdf http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data_access/Vitalstatsonline.htm; o Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander NHIS survey http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/nhpi.html ; o NCHS linked data sets http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data_access/data_linkage_activities.htm; o NHANES genetic data http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/genetics/genetic_types.htm#restricted . Research proposals need not be limited to the examples given above. It is anticipated that many questions will derive from previous or current research. It may be cost-effective to design methodological studies to be carried out in conjunction with ongoing research projects. Applicants are referred to the NCHS website for information on the many other data sets available from NCHS. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/ </Description>

        <Description>The intent of the Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are:Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome.Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be small- to large-scale projects, at different stages of idea and research development. One funding level, based on the scope of the research, is available under this Program Announcement. Two additional funding levels, Funding Levels 1 and 2, will be available under a different Program Announcement (W81XWH-15-BCRP-BREAKTHROUGH2_FL12) in August 2015. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed. The funding level should be selected based on the scope of the research project, rather than the amount of the budget.The following is a general description, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under this Program Announcement:&amp;#8226; Funding Level 3: Advanced translational studies that have potential for near-term clinical investigation. Small-scale clinical trials may apply.Partnering PI Option: The Breakthrough Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate two PIs, called the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI, each of whom will each receive a separate award. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work (SOW), and other required components. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each PI is expected to bring distinct contributions to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the PIs to describe how their combined expertise will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts. To meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option, applicants are discouraged from submitting as a Partnering PI on multiple applications unless they are clearly addressing distinct research questions.Personnel: The PI(s) are expected to engage and assemble an appropriate and robust research team with the combined backgrounds and breast cancer-related expertise to enable successful conduct of the project.Consumer Advocates: Applications are required to include consumer advocate involvement. The research team must include two or more breast cancer consumer advocates who will be integral throughout the planning and implementation of the research project. Consumer advocates should be involved in the development of the research question, project design, oversight, recruitment, and evaluation, as well as other significant aspects of the proposed project. Interactions with other team members should be well integrated and ongoing, not limited to attending seminars and semi-annual meetings. As lay representatives, the consumer advocates must be individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, and they should be active in a breast cancer advocacy organization. Their role in the project should be independent of their employment, and they cannot be employees of any of the organizations participating in the application. Their role should be focused on providing objective input on the research and its potential impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer. The consumer advocates should have a high level of knowledge of current breast cancer issues and the necessary background or training in breast cancer research to contribute to the project.</Description>

        <Description>Applications to the Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) Reconstructive Transplant Research (RTR) program) are being solicited for the Defense Health Agency, Research, Development, and Acquisition (DHA RDA) Directorate, by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). As directed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, the DHA RDA Directorate manages and executes the Defense Health Program (DHP) Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&amp;amp;E) appropriation. This Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity and subsequent awards will be managed and executed by the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) with strategic oversight from Joint Program Committee 8/Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine Research Program (JPC-8/CRMRP). To meet the intent of the FY15 RTR award mechanisms, applicants must address one or more of the Focus Areas listed below. &amp;#8226; Immune system regulation &amp;#8226; Improved access to reconstructive transplantation &amp;#8226; Reconstructive transplantation rehabilitation &amp;#8226; Graft surveillance &amp;#8211; Clinical monitoring &amp;#8226; Psychosocial issues associated with VCA. The RTR Translational Research Award (RTR TRA) mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. A synopsis of all FY15 RTR Program Announcements/Funding Opportunities is available at http://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/pdf/15rtrpreftable.pdf The intent of the FY15 RTR TRA mechanism is to support the development of data and model systems to complete the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory review process and position the product for a clinical trial. Applications must include preliminary and/or published data that is relevant to RTR and the proposed research project. Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from many sources, such as a laboratory discovery, population-based studies, or a clinician&amp;#8217;s firsthand knowledge of patients and anecdotal data. While the ultimate goal of translational research is to move an observation forward into clinical application, Principal Investigators (PIs) should not view translational research as a one-way continuum from bench to bedside. The research plan must involve reciprocal flow of ideas between basic and clinical science. Collaborations between laboratory scientists and clinicians are encouraged. </Description>

        <Description>This Notice announces the availability of funding for planning and delivering regional training conferences that focus on strengthening and building the capacity of AmeriCorps programs and Senior Corps projects across the country. CNCS acknowledges the need for flexibility in determining the regions where the conferences will be delivered. Regions may align with each of CNCS&amp;#8217;s five regional clusters as defined in section II. Award Information, or applicants may choose to propose, with justification, one or more geographic region(s) different from the existing CNCS regional clusters. The primary target audiences for training at these regional training conferences are AmeriCorps State and National programs and Senior Corps projects. These regional training conferences are a critical component of CNCS&amp;#8217;s training and technical assistance (TTA) strategy for 2014-2015, and CNCS intends for these conferences to build on and leverage previous investments to increase the capacity for national service resources to impact communities. While AmeriCorps State and National programs and Senior Corps projects are the primary audiences, it is expected that other national service programs will be invited to participate such as AmeriCorps Indian Tribes programs, AmeriCorps VISTA programs (especially multi-site projects), Social Innovation Fund grantees, and AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) staff. Although the entire agenda of these conferences may not be specific to these programs, having broad representation from CNCS programs increases the potential for strong and integrated community impact. The National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) authorizes CNCS to provide TTA to improve the programmatic quality and accountability of current and potential national service programs and projects. The current TTA strategy focuses on the implementation of CNCS&amp;#8217;s performance measures, grantee compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, as well as the fiscal and administrative requirements for managing CNCS grants - a unique set of knowledge and skills specific to CNCS programs and projects.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research projects focused on adducts to cellular macromolecules as indicators of exposures to cancer risk factors relevant to human populations. The priority is on projects that will focus on adductomic approaches, i.e., address some aspects of the totality of adducts. These projects should explore the basic aspects of adducts/adductomics that may have a potential utility in cancer detection, cancer prevention, and/or assessing cancer risks. The projects should be relevant to adducts in humans and human populations but may be conducted using various model systems (e.g., cultured cells, animals, etc.). The use of human biospecimens is encouraged and expected if appropriate but not required. </Description>

        <Description>This FOA is to encourage Research Project Grant (R01) applications for research into aspects of lymphatic vessel physiology, development and pathophysiology related to health and diseases of the digestive system, kidney, and urinary tract organs. However, studies with the major focus on immune mechanisms are not encouraged. Studies to understand the factors that control local lymphatic vessel functional anatomy and physiology and development during health or disease in these organs/systems, and the mechanisms by which alterations of lymphatic vessel function affect organ function, are of interest. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey&amp;#146;s is offering a cooperative-agreement opportunity to universities that have the ability to conduct research on dendrohydrological reconstructions that meet the objectives listed below. The objectives are to conduct dendrochronological collections in the Jemez Mountains (New Mexico) region during 2007 and 2008 for reconstructions of hydrological variability over past centuries; including: 1. Dendrochronological collections from two previously-collected tree-ring sites, based on the strength of the hydroclimatic signal and potential to both update and extend the chronology back in time with remnant material. 2. Dendrochronological collections from one new chronology from a moisture-stressed site with old trees and remnant material. 3. Processing of wood from all three sites into three site tree-ring chronologies. 4. Develop and analyze preliminary dendrohydrological reconstructions several centuries in length. </Description>

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters is releasing a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) for foundational research in support of the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD). NNH07ZEA001N, entitled &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Aeronautics&amp;#148; will be available on or about May 31, 2007, by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Open Solicitations.&amp;quot; This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits foundational research proposals for the four programs within ARMD: the Airspace Systems Program, the Aviation Safety Program, the Fundamental Aeronautics Program and the Aeronautics Test Program. The Airspace Systems Program will directly address the Air Traffic Management (ATM) research needs of the Next Generation Air Transportation Systems (NGATS) initiative as defined by the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO). The Aviation Safety Program will take a proactive approach to address safety challenges of new and legacy vehicles in order to enhance the safety of the Nation&amp;#146;s current and future air transportation system. The Fundamental Aeronautics Program will pursue long-term, cutting edge research in all flight regimes to produce data, knowledge, and design tools that will be applicable across a broad range of air vehicles. The Aeronautics Test Program, residing under NASA&amp;#146;s Shared Capability Assets Program (SCAP), will protect and preserve key aeronautics test facilities. The structure of the ROA NRA will require that proposals be submitted to the most relevant aeronautics program elements, which will be described in Appendices to the NRA. Specific Proposal submission deadline dates, any particular evaluation criteria, and submission points of contact by NASA Center will also be identified in the NRA Appendices. Proposals must be submitted electronically, and all proposers may use NASA&amp;#146;s proposal data system, NSPIRES (http://nspires.nasaprs.com ), or Grants.gov. Electronic submission of proposals is required, and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Individual program elements under this solicitation may be found by using the Advanced Search method in Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/search/advanced.do). In the &amp;quot;Search by Funding Opportunity Number&amp;quot; box, enter the ROA solicitation number of NNH07ZEA001N followed by an * (i.e., NNH07ZEA001N*). This will result in a list of all posted program elements. Use the funding number associated with the program element you wish to apply for to download the application package. With the exception of government organizations and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), participation is open to all categories of organizations, including educational institutions, industry and nonprofit organizations. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages transdisciplinary and translational research that will identify the specific biological or biobehavioral pathways through which physical activity and/or weight control (either weight loss or avoidance of weight gain) may affect cancer prognosis and survival. Research applications should test the effects of physical activity, alone or in combination with weight control (either weight loss or avoidance of weight gain), on biomarkers of cancer prognosis among cancer survivors identified by previous animal or observational research on established biomarkers other than insulin/glucose metabolism, especially those obtained from tumor tissue sourced from repeat biopsies where available. Because many cancer survivor populations will not experience recurrence but will die of comorbid diseases or may experience early effects of aging, inclusion of biomarkers of comorbid diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease) and of the aging process are also sought. Applications should use experimental designs (e.g., randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), fractional factorial designs), and will require transdisciplinary approaches that bring together behavioral intervention expertise, cancer biology, and other basic and clinical science disciplines relevant to the pathways being studied.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages clinically-relevant translational/epidemiological research projects focused on the use of adducts to cellular macromolecules, as indicators of exposures to cancer risk factors in human populations and subgroups. The priority is on projects that will focus on adductomic approaches, i.e., address some aspects of the totality of adducts. The projects are expected to be based on comprehensive use of human biospecimens for which detailed medical data are available (e.g., biospecimens from the NCI-supported cohort studies). The main emphasis of this FOA is on advancing the area of cancer detection, cancer prevention, and assessing cancer risks in human populations and subgroups. Nonetheless, studies evaluating the potential roles of adducts in cancer etiology for gene-environment interaction research may also be appropriate provided that such projects are based on appropriate sets of human biospecimens (such as specimens from cohorts studies supported by NIH). </Description>

        <Description>Purpose of the award: To adequately manage, monitor and protect threatened and endangered species a complete and up-to-date data set is needed that includes information on species location, population size, habitat, and threats. Location-specific data are extremely valuable for assessing range and abundance, and for identifying areas of critical habitat as defined by the Endangered Species Act. This complete data set is also needed to guide energy development away from sensitive areas, to assess species vulnerability to climate change, to monitor population trends, and to document the effectiveness of recovery actions. In order to maintain an up-to-date dataset, three main activities need to occur: field surveys, population monitoring, and data development.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Project Title Voices of Science Recipient Montana State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $29,503.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From Date of Award until 12/31/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From Date of Award until 12/31/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.954 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Project Description: This project will produce a series of audio productions to illustrate NPS science in parks. These podcasts will be shared on websites, social media, radio, and give listeners a chance to experience science and NPS management through sound and the stories and experiences of people working in parks. The goal is to add perspective and advance conversations about science and complexities of conservation. In addition to a set of podcasts, MSU will provide technical assistance in recommending equipment for 2 audio kits and training materials for NPS staff to use the kits and produce their own podcasts. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Three types of products will result from this project: 1. Species and soundscape recordings to be included in the both the NRSS and Acoustic Atlas digital archives, working with MSU to complement and enhance existing recordings. 2. A series of at least six &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;audio postcard&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; or podcast episodes, available to both MSU and the NRSS, which illustrate scientific processes and findings of the NPS system. These recordings, or podcasts, will be incorporated into the NPS webpages to build on multimedia content to connect with the public on current resource management issues. The NPS will work with the PI on the best manner to share these podcasts. 3. A workshop to train interested individuals in the NRSS directorate and other NPS staff in audio production, including foci on storytelling, writing for radio, voicing, interviewing, recording, editing, branding and packaging, ethics, and administration. Public Purpose This project fulfills a public purpose in several ways. The primary focus of this project is public outreach and communications. The project assists in the creation and improvement of communication products that increase public understanding of NPS science and management of national parks and advance conversations the complexities of conservation. This project will provide significant benefit to the public; it will focus on distilling and refining technical information and reformatting it into a context that will be easy to digest and retrieve by the public through various communication channels. The resulting products will be distributed to the public via web, radio, and social media. Additionally, this partnership project will assist Montana State University to expand their Acoustic Atlas. This project engages both parties in an environmental stewardship obligation by filling a critical data gap related to soundscape recordings. The scientific community, including researchers internal and external to NPS, will gain new knowledge provided through this project on natural resource information. Background The Natural Resources Stewardship and Science Directorate works to keep managers, researchers, and the public informed about and engaged in research taking place in the parks. This program seeks to enhance current communications strategies by generating multimedia content that compliments its existing products. Further, it seeks to engage and inspire the next generation of stewards by employing digital tools and communications strategies native to young, diverse audiences. The Montana State University Library has established the &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Acoustic Atlas&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;, a comprehensive initiative that seeks to collect, curate and archive natural soundscape recordings of the American west, and to connect people with the sounds of regional biodiversity. A logical way to do this is through the development of sound-rich, multimedia content highlighting audio collections while adding ecological context through narrative science reporting. Through the objectives of this Task Agreement, NRSS seeks to work cooperatively with MSU to support science communications through the collection of additional sound recordings, with associated metadata, that will be shared between the parks and the MSU Acoustic Atlas project to enhance their existing collection and preserve this data for future use and study. Additionally, this Task Agreement will support the development and distribution of associated multimedia content that elucidates science in the national park system in innovative and compelling ways. The research associate for this work is an award-wining audio producer with a background in both ecology and the arts. The candidates work has focused on stories about science and national parks, and has produced pieces for Yellowstone National Park, Arches National Park, and Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. Stories have aired on Public Radio &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;International&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Living on Earth&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;, Public Radio Exchange&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Remix program, and several public radio stations across the country. The research associate studied nature recording with a renowned BBC sound recordist and radio production specialist at the prestigious Transom Story Workshop. The research associate has the specialized expertise and ability to collect archive-quality sound recordings for both the NRSS and the MSU Acoustic Atlas. Using these recordings as a base, the candidate can also produce sonorous, broadcast-quality science communication pieces, featuring a range of voices, which blend narrative journalism, sound design, and science reporting to connect people with place. The selection of sound recordings as well as science communication audio pieces will be determined through a work plan developed by both MSU and NRSS. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT MSU agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide technical assistance in the development and distribution of audio productions about natural resource topics for radio, NPS internet sites, and the MSU Acoustic Atlas. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide guidance for NPS staff to self-produce radio stories NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Facilitate connections between NPS staff and MSU. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide guidance and review products to ensure compatibility with NPS mission, policies, and standards. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Review science communication products for accuracy. BOTH NPS AND MSU: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Cooperatively determine type and timing of project activities, evaluate progress of work, and provide direction. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Work collaboratively on employee oversight and direction. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Train and motivate employee to perform work assignments.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), encourages research projects focused on adducts to cellular macromolecules as indicators of exposures to cancer risk factors relevant to human populations. The priority is on projects that will focus on adductomic approaches, i.e., address some aspects of the totality of adducts. These projects should explore the basic aspects of adducts/adductomics that may have a potential utility in cancer detection, cancer prevention, and/or assessing cancer risks. The projects should be relevant to adducts in humans and human populations but may be conducted using various model systems (e.g., cultured cells, animals, etc.). The use of human biospecimens is encouraged and expected if appropriate but not required.</Description>

        <Description>Several gravel augmentation sites, floodplain excavation sites, and side channels have been identified as suitable potential spawning and rearing habitat on the American River downstream of Nimbus Dam, including sites at upper Sailor Bar, upper and lower Sunrise, Sacramento Bar and San Juan Rapids, Ancil Hoffman, Upper River Bend, River Bend, the Howe to Watt reach, and Paradise Beach. The spawning and rearing habitat restoration program is part of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) and is tasked to double the natural production of anadromous fish in CVP streams. The program works toward this goal through a variety of habitat restoration projects that work to increase the spawning, rearing and migration success of anadromous fish. These projects can be fairly small and simple projects to much more complicated projects spanning multiple years and millions of dollars.</Description>

        <Description>Over the past several years, federal and state agencies, local wildlife and environmental organizations, and other entities, have formed a partnership and received two Natural Resource Conservation Service awards (Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative and Regional Conservation Partnership Program) and a Wildlife Conservation Society grant to restore oak habitats at landscape scales in southern Oregon and northern California. A recognized expert of oak ecosystems of the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion, the Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO) has been actively working with the partnership&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Interdisciplinary teams coordinating the design and implementation of oak habitat restoration projects funded through these awards and grants. KBO is also evaluating the effectiveness of these projects in meeting stated objectives by monitoring the relative abundance of individual avian species and changes in community composition before and after treatment. Results of this monitoring effort will directly inform future restoration efforts. This agreement is to support KBO&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s involvement in the Interdisciplinary teams and as leader of the partnership&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s effectiveness monitoring team.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00243 Project Title Geologic Mapping in Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River Recipient NY State Department of Education &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; NY Geological Survey Total Anticipated Award Amount Cost Share None Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award for five years Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award for five years Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; 16 USC 1281 (e) CFDA # and Title 15.944 Natural Resource Stewardship Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Natural Resource Inventories, prescribe a digital geologic map as one of twelve essential data sets for parks. To meet this goal, the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Division (I&amp;amp;MD) has undertaken a Geologic Resource Inventory of 270 natural area parks. UPDE is identified as one of those parks. The Geologic Resources Division administers the Geologic Resources Inventory Program (GRI) and is charged with providing each park with: 1) An evaluation of park geologic resources and issues, 2) An assessment of geologic map coverage and production of digital products, and 3) A compilation of a geologic report with basic geologic information, hazards and issues, and existing data and research relating to the park. At a geologic scoping meeting at UPDE, geologic mapping on the New York state side of the river was identified as being necessary to provide a complete geologic map of the park. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Project Description: Task 1 of this project will produce geologic mapping to include 1:24,000 geologic mapping for the Hancock, Fishs Eddy, Long Eddy, Callicoon, Damascus, and Narrowsburg 7.5 minute quadrangles. Most of the areas to be mapped consist of partial quadrangles and in total equate to slightly more than three entire 7.5 minute quadrangle maps. From a research perspective this partnership with NPS provides an excellent opportunity for the NYSM to apply modern geologic mapping practices to a portion of the state where the NYSM has not had much activity in the last century. Regarding our understanding of deglaciation and glacial events we know very little except that this region is supposed to close to the Late Glacial Maximum (LGM- the furthest southern extent) of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) during the most recent Ice Age (Wisconsin Episode). In fact in the area proposed for mapping there has no published data of the chronology of ice retreat. Task 2 of this project, assuming funding is available, will continue the same mapping approach in the Eldred, Shohola, Pond Eddy, and Port Jervis North quadrangles. Public Purpose: Geologic mapping is the foundation of the geosciences and as such provides directs benefits to the public-at-large. Detailed mapping along the Upper Delaware River, currently lacking, will 1) identify areas susceptible to slope failure, mass movement, landslides and rock fall that pose potential threats to the health and human safety of travelers on the numerous roads paralleling the river; 2) provide a greater understanding of the regional geologic framework and its potential for energy development or other commercially viable products; 3) expand the knowledge of groundwater aquifers and their replenishment pathways as well as the regional surface watersheds; 4) unravel the river&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s flood history through their deposits to shed light on possible future flooding events; 5) provide increased awareness of the area&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s geologic resources such as paleontological items, any cave or karst presence, or other unique geologic features RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Produce geologic maps in the area identified as all or portions of the Hancock, Fishs Eddy, Long Eddy, Callicoon, Damascus, Narrowsburg, Eldred, Shohola, Pond Eddy, and Port Jervis North 7.5 minute quadrangles. The final products will ensure that all geologic features present on the published map(s) are present as GIS data, and are fully attributed shape files to standards as identified in Part I d of the USGS-NCGMP 2004 STATEMAP program announcement No. 04hQPA0003. 2. Deliver these as digital geologic maps in ESRI ArcGIS 9.x or latest version with: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; An ESRI geodatabase (.mdb) for each digital geologic-GIS map with a Geologic Unit Information table and Source Map Information table, where applicable &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Accompanying text and graphics containing map explanatory information &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; A description of map units &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; A stratigraphic column depicting stratified units &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Where applicable, a correlation diagram showing age relationships of map units &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; An explanation of map symbols &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; FGDC compliant metadata for all files developed 3. Confer with UPDE staff prior to any field activities to identify areas of significant natural or cultural resources and develop a plan to avoid any adverse impact of these resources 4. Confer with UPDE staff to update them on the progress of mapping and identification of new or unique geologic resources found during the mapping process which can be utilized for interpretive or educational purposes 5. Update GRI Program manager on mapping progress NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT 1. Collaborate with the NYGS staff to develop the goals for the project 2. UPDE staff provides NYGS staff with orientation to significant resources and any relevant safety training 3. Provide the NYGS with all relevant NPS UPDE GIS data sets and other associated data that may be important to geologic mapping and data interpretation. Such data sets may include, but are not limited to, park boundaries, and infrastructure and facilities, etc. 4. Provide the NYGS all relevant LIDAR imagery and aerial imagery that is in the possession of UPDE or the Eastern River and Mountains Network. 5. Provide natural resource management staff from the NPS-Geologic Resources Division-Denver and from the participating park units to collaborate with the NYGS on project study design. 6. Frequently consult with the NYGS on the creation of the map legends/map categories, and to review all preliminary, interim, and final documents associated with the project. 7. When available, provide logistical support to facilitate the conduct of mapping activities in UPDE, such as, but not limited to, access to remote areas, assistance with the NPS permitting process, and assistance with field data collection. 7. Provide, through the Geologic Resources Division, assistance required by the Principal Investigator and his associates to create the geologic maps in a Geographic Information System (GIS) using state-or-the-art ESRI ARCGIS software.

        <Description>The AIM Strategy is intended to reach across programs, jurisdictions, stakeholders, and agencies to provide data and information valuable to decision makers. The strategy focuses on 10 management questions important to land managers at varying levels of the Bureau, from field office to national levels. Answering each of the management questions requires a multiscale, coordinated, and integrated approach for new data collection while recognizing the value of many current monitoring activities. This approach will provide: (1) an opportunity to collect monitoring data that can be used many times for many purposes and (2) the quantitative data essential for informed, defendable land management decision making, (3) work with organizations that provide experience for entry level field positions within natural resource management agencies.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support research that will contribute to the overall understanding of vaccine safety. This research opportunity encourages studies that address scientific areas potentially relevant to vaccine safety such as 1) physiological and immunological responses to vaccines and vaccine components, 2) how genetic variations affect immune/physiological responses that may impact vaccine safety, 3) identification of risk factors and biological markers that may be used to assess whether there is a relationship between certain diseases or disorders and licensed vaccines, 4) creation/evaluation of statistical methodologies for analyzing data on vaccine safety, including data available from existing data sources such as passive reporting systems or healthcare databases, or 5) the application of genomic/molecular technologies and systems biology approaches to evaluate vaccine safety. This FOA aligns with the research goals and objectives outlined in the U.S. National Vaccine Plan).</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00246 Project Title Promoting One Health and Conservation through Student Internships Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $92,997.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 12/30/ 2019 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 12/30/ 2019 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.954 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs Resources of NPS CESU&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P14AC00728 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Colorado State University (CSU) for the purpose of providing research, technical assistance, and/or education, as described below. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. One Health is the recognition that human, animal, and environmental health is interconnected and health outcomes improve through interdisciplinary efforts. The NPS supports veterinary, public health, and environmental health programs that function with a One Health approach to provide Service-wide guidance and park-specific technical assistance to national parks. One Health-focused projects present excellent educational opportunities to introduce students to applied multi-disciplinary health approaches. The objectives of this agreement are to 1) provide One Health internships and professional mentoring to college students, and 2) collaborate with staff and students at CSU to complete One Health projects. Specific projects will be assigned based on NPS needs and students&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; skills and interests. Each project will develop a product or summary report that will contribute to public health or natural resource management and that will engage interns in conservation efforts through the lens of health. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Background One Health is the recognition that human, animal, and environmental health is interconnected and health outcomes improve through interdisciplinary efforts. The NPS supports veterinary, public health, and environmental health expertise that operate independently but also collaborate to function using a One Health approach. These programs provide Service-wide guidance and park-specific technical assistance to national parks. Because of the inextricable link between the health of humans and other animals, collaboration between the programs is inherent to success of each. One Health-focused projects present excellent educational opportunities to introduce students to applied multi-disciplinary health approaches. When implemented in the NPS, students experience the connection of health to conservation of natural resources that the NPS is entrusted to protect. The internships also support the Department of the Interior&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s youth initiative to engage the next generation of outdoor stewards and inspire millions of young adults to play, learn, serve and work in the great outdoors. Approach The objectives of this agreement are to: 1) Provide One Health internships and professional mentoring to college students. 2) Collaborate with staff and students at CSU to complete One Health projects that assist national parks in five focus areas. Students and staff will assist in NPS One Health activities in five focus areas: unified disease surveillance, consensus guidance on health-related issues, interdisciplinary response to emergent events, integrated public and internal messaging, and a combined research agenda. Specific projects will be assigned based on NPS needs and students&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; skills and interests. Each project will develop a product, or alternatively a summary report. Products may include, but are not limited to developing factsheets, web content, or training materials; developing or populating databases; contributing to research or disease surveillance projects; and providing support during disease outbreaks. Students from undergraduates to post-doctoral candidates will be provided with an opportunity to engage with NPS staff in the work setting. Additionally, NPS staff will teach students in the classroom, for example, providing guest lectures for veterinary, public health, and wildlife courses. These interactions will help develop a generation of One Health practitioners and will engage youth in conservation efforts through the lens of health. B. Project schedule and milestones: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Recruit and train about 2-3 student interns annually (2015-2019). &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; If future funding becomes available, the number of interns will be increased. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Identify product to be completed (prior to each internship) and finalize the product or report from each intern (within one month of end of internship) &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide guest lectures to college courses (about 1-2 annually) RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT CSU agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Collaboratively undertake a project titled &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Promoting One Health and Conservation through Student Internships&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; as described in this task agreement. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Assist with recruitment of highly qualified students to conduct internships. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Contribute professional and supervisory support to students to assist in completion of projects. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide opportunities for NPS staff to deliver guest lectures or other teaching contributions. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Jointly select students and develop mutually agreed upon products to be completed during internships. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide mentorship and serve as work leader for students during the internships. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Present guest lectures or make other teaching contributions as mutually agreed upon. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) Continuation This is a Task Agreement (P15AC01354) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) in the amount of $92,997.00 with a period of performance from date of award until 12/31/2019. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State University and the NPS is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network&amp;quot;. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the U.S. Geological Survey&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement G15AS00003 Project Title Trace Elements and Isotopic Cycling in the North Pacific Ocean and Analysis by ICP-MS Recipient University of Washington School of Oceanography Principal Investigator / Program Manager Dr. Virginia Armbrust John Crusius Anticipated Federal Amount $82,151.00 Cost Share No Total Anticipated Award Amount $410,755.00 New Award or Continuation? New Anticipated Period of Performance 08/01/2015 07/31/2020 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement CFDA # and Title 15.808 Research &amp;amp; Data Collection USGS Point of Contact Stewart Evans sevans@usgs.gov OVERVIEW This project is to facilitate both trace element and/or stable isotopic analyses of metals in seawater and to provide support to a graduate student to carry out related work, and to jointly interpret the data collected. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT University of Washington (UW) and US Geological Survey (USGS) personnel will collaborate to carry out high-precision analyses using UW&amp;#8217;s state of the art inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) facilities. This will include either an existing multi-collector ICP-MS (NuPlasma), a new high resolution ICP-MS (Element 2), or both. A variety of projects examining the fate and cycling of trace elements in coastal surface waters, dust and sediments may use this instrumentation. Analyses could include elemental and/or stable isotope analyses of sediments, porewaters, groundwater, fresh water or seawater samples. CY2015-2016 Activities: UW ICP-MS instruments will be used for determination of elemental concentration and possibly isotopic composition of a variety of water, sediment and rock samples. This support is for a Graduate Research Assistant in a project to be carried out jointly under this agreement between one or more UW faculty and the USGS PI, Crusius. USGS INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part USGS is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, USGS will be responsible for the following: &amp;#8226; Provide and contribute expertise in seawater sampling and other field sampling &amp;#8226; Help with methods development for laboratory procedures required for trace metal and/or isotopic analysis (isotope dilution, ion exchange, sample preconcentration, trace-metal clean procedures, etc) &amp;#8226; Provide samples from a variety of USGS projects focused on metal sources and cycling in the environment, with any of the following societally relevant objectives: assess the impact of metals on ecosystem or human health and utilize isotopic means to distinguish natural from anthropogenic metal sources or to distinguish among different natural metal sources &amp;#8226; Assist in the selection of the graduate student, possibly by funding an existing graduate student for one year or by funding a new graduate student if sufficient funds are available &amp;#8226; Guide the study of the graduate student in collaboration with a faculty member from the UW School of Oceanography on a topic that is mutually agreed upon SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. (6) Cooperative Agreements - USGS Unique Authority cited at 43 U.S.C. 36d (Federal, State, and academic partners) or DOI Authority cited at 43 U.S.C. 1457b (not-for-profit organizations). USGS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: Single Source Justification Description: Condition 4: Unique Qualifications. UW is well-respected and uniquely qualified in regards to the quality of the ICP-MS techniques and capabilities. Also, the capability of their instruments can resolve and separate Fe (Iron) from ArO (Argon Oxide) an essential requirement in this study. This high level of sensitivity is not known commercially. Additionally, the location at UW benefits the USGS as travel and other per diem costs are reduced or eliminated. Condition 6: TITLE 43 - PUBLIC LANDS CHAPTER 2 - UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY &amp;#167; 36d. Cooperative agreements Notwithstanding the provisions of the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977 (31U.S.C. 6301&amp;#8211;6308), the United States Geological Survey is authorized to continue existing, and on and after November 10, 2003, to enter into new cooperative agreements directed towards a particular cooperator, in support of joint research and data collection activities with Federal, State, and academic partners funded by appropriations herein, including those that provide for space in cooperator facilities.

        <Description>The FY16 JPC-1/MSIS ATUMN is seeking research, development, and testing on compensatory/adaptive medical tutor prototype(s). This includes evidence-based sustained learning methodologies that decrease the need for future technology dependence to retain the details of the cognitive processes that assist with patient assessment, clinical reasoning, clinical judgment, and clinical diagnosis and treatment. The tutor must accurately and appropriately understand where the learner is within the learning curve versus the course curricula, objectives, and anticipated outcomes, and understand where the learner needs to go versus the course curricula, objectives, and anticipated outcomes. The tutor must identify viable and course-appropriate route(s) on how to navigate from current position to end position. The proposed tutor needs to continuously evaluate the progress and re-plan/re-route as appropriate versus the course curricula, objectives, and anticipated outcomes. The compensatory/adaptive medical tutor prototype needs to be modular, flexible, robust, and reliable, and needs to incorporate open source/license/architecture. The modularity, flexibility, robustness, and reliability does NOT have to be demonstrated in the prototype, but these capabilities MUST be incorporated into the designs and architecture of the anticipated platform. The pre-proposal/pre-application and proposal/application must disclose any background intellectual property interest in the proposal solution, including but not limited to, current ownership status of the intellectual property, the existence and type of license the applicant holds, or whatever name exists. The proposal/application may disclose the capability and interest in licensing arrangements with the Government if the project is successful. Refer to the General Submission Instructions, Appendix 3 for additional information. This compensatory/adaptive medical tutor prototype must demonstrate sustainment of the cognitive information that was gained. The content may be domain-specific per the desire of the PI and team, but the PI needs to select a domain that can be related to the military, such as the assessment of shock, traumatic brain injury, mental health assessment, (i.e., post-traumatic stress, substance abuse), musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment, wound management/debridement, external fixation of fractures, shock management, ventilator management, and advanced emergency care (i.e., lateral canthotomy, cranial decompression). The PI must outline a pilot study concept of the compensatory/adaptive medical tutor prototype in the pre-proposal/pre-application. A detailed protocol must be provided in the full proposal/application, including but not limited to, proposed methodologies, type of recruits, recruitment numbers, anticipated drop-out rate, assessment criteria, inter-rater reliability, intended medical domain(s) (or discipline[s]), control groups, and statistical protocols. 1. The anticipated outcomes of research supported by the FY16 JPC-1/MSIS ATUMN Project are as follows, in no particular order: &amp;#8226; A validated list supported by contacts, references, and sources that support the proposed recommendation for sustainment of cognitive knowledge, patient assessment, clinical reasoning, clinical judgment, and clinical diagnosis and treatment intended to be integrated/incorporated into the compensatory/adaptive medical tutor prototype. &amp;#8226; A report, document, and/or list of the terminology and respective definitions used for the compensatory/adaptive medical tutor prototype including, but not limited to, the chosen domain, the proposed metrics/evaluation criteria and how they are used to determine where the learner is within the learning curve versus the course curricula, objectives, and anticipated outcomes and understand where the learner needs to go versus the course curricula, objectives, and anticipated outcomes. &amp;#8226; A report or document with the information of the open source/license/architecture versus intellectual property components. The report needs to provide information on items such as hardware and software requirements to support the respective components and provide a listing of the most common issues with the proposed components, anticipated updates (if applicable), typical maintenance issues with the proposed components, and intended maintenance fees and schedules with the proprietary components (if applicable). A report or document that describes in detail the fully integrated design that includes items such as modularity, flexibility, robustness, and reliability and provides the proposed timeline that would be needed if such additional modularity, flexibility, robustness, and reliability were indeed added. &amp;#8226; The pilot study-specific aims, methodologies, sample and sample size, inter-rater reliability, assessment criteria, analyzed results, conclusions, and potential next-step recommendations. Indicate the proposed duration of sustained cognitive knowledge, patient assessment, clinical reasoning, clinical judgment, and clinical diagnosis and treatment. &amp;#8226; A demonstration of the compensatory/adaptive medical tutor prototype; anticipate the demonstration to occur in the National Capital Area/Maryland/Northern Virginia area, but it could occur at a Government organization located in the contiguous United States. &amp;#8226; A submitted or presented abstract or a draft or accepted publication.</Description>

        <Description>The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Action Plan calls for strategic ecosystem restoration that addresses the biggest threats to the Great Lakes and accelerated progress toward long-term lake management goals. The Action Plan lays out a six-step science-based adaptive management cycle to prioritize ecosystem problems, select projects to address those problems, and assess the effectiveness of the projects that are funded to help improve subsequent decision making. The prioritization of ecosystem problems should enable GLRI decision makers to select a suite of projects that will make the greatest gains toward annualized measures of progress and ecosystem health by targeting activities toward strategic geographies. However, an explicit rationale for selection of strategic geographies has yet to be articulated or demonstrated. The current project proposes to develop, justify, and demonstrate a rationale for spatial decision making relative to non-point-source pollution under GLRI Focus Area 3.</Description>

        <Description>The Type 1 Diabetes Pathfinder Award (DP2) was first initiated in 2008 as part of the Strategic Plan for Type 1 Diabetes Research (http://www.T1Diabetes.nih.gov/plan).The goal is to support a small number of early stage investigators of exceptional creativity who propose bold and highly innovative new research approaches that have the potential to produce a major impact on broad, important problems in biomedical and behavioral research relevant to type 1 diabetes and its complications. The Type 1 Diabetes Pathfinder Award initiative complements ongoing efforts by NIH and its Institutes and Centers to fund early stage investigators through R01 grants, which continue to be the major sources of NIH support for early stage investigators. The research proposed need not be in a conventional biomedical or behavioral discipline but must be relevant to type 1 diabetes.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support research that will contribute to the overall understanding of vaccine safety. This research opportunity encourages studies that address scientific areas potentially relevant to vaccine safety such as 1) physiological and immunological responses to vaccines and vaccine components, 2) how genetic variations affect immune/physiological responses that may impact vaccine safety, 3) identification of risk factors and biological markers that may be used to assess whether there is a relationship between certain diseases or disorders and licensed vaccines, 4) creation/evaluation of statistical methodologies for analyzing data on vaccine safety, including data available from existing data sources such as passive reporting systems or healthcare databases, or 5) the application of genomic/molecular technologies and systems biology approaches to evaluate vaccine safety. This FOA aligns with the research goals and objectives outlined in the U.S. National Vaccine Plan).</Description>

        <Description>In FY 2015, the National Accessibility Branch (AXS Branch) initiated the Targeted Accessibility Improvement Program (TAIP). The TAIP provides funds to park units to begin comprehensive physical and programmatic accessibility upgrades of specific sites within those units. Many of these units will need extensive review and technical assistance in order to plan and complete these upgrades. The TAIP will provide assistance to these parks through Interdisciplinary Teams (IDT) of experts from within and external to NPS. Once improvements to these sites are complete, the NPS will have &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;models&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; of accessibility of various types of environments and activities.</Description>

        <Description>Possum Point is located at the northeast end of Greenbury Point, bordered by Mill Creek on the west and the Chesapeake Bay on the east and is primarily used for fishing. Possum Point&amp;#8217;s shoreline has a failing bulkhead and is experiencing erosion due to wave energy and holes in the bulkhead. There are many shoreline reaches on Greenbury Point experiencing erosion. A study was conducted to identify shoreline erosion conditions and existing conditions of the habitat along Possum Point and to determine which shoreline restoration methods are feasible. In accordance with the Clean Water Act and E.O. 13508, NSA Annapolis must take action to repair and restore the eroding shoreline at Possum Point. This Cooperative Agreement will meet those requirements by executing shoreline restoration measures on the reaches of Possum Point. The Cooperator shall implement the government approved design (Appendix B) on the shoreline reaches at Possum Point. The Cooperator shall comply with all forthcoming permits and authorizations associated with the approved design during the implementation of the design.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00247 Project Title Assistance for Visibility Data Analysis &amp;amp; Image Display Techniques Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;$895,976.00 Cost Share None Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 08/30/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 08/30/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs Resources of NPS CESU&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Air pollutants can adversely affect visitor experience by degrading the vistas, affecting the natural ecosystems of these areas, and in some extreme cases, adversely affecting visitor health. In working with NPS scientists, the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at CSU will enhance the scientific understanding of causes of visibility impairment and atmospheric loading to ecosystems to better understand the scientific basis of these issues. This project serves the public by developing sound scientific data that informs air quality management at the local, state, and federal levels. The visibility data and analyses produced by this project are directly used by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by state and local air quality management agencies in their implementation of regulations under the Clean Air Act. Similarly, data and analyses produced under this task agreement on atmospheric deposition are providing information to these agencies about the role of regulated and non-regulated pollutants in atmospheric deposition and their effect on ecosystems. Non-government organizations, representing a wide variety of public interests, as well as industry groups, utilize the information developed under this project. A key element of the project is to interpret and display this scientific information for the general public, enhancing their understanding of issues that can affect their enjoyment of the natural world. CIRA and NPS scientists participate in outreach efforts in elementary and secondary schools, encouraging young students to pursue science projects. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The public visits national parks and wilderness areas to enjoy nature in an unimpaired state. Air pollutants can adversely affect that visitor experience by degrading the vistas, affecting the natural ecosystems of these areas, and in some extreme cases, adversely affecting visitor health. The National Park Service (NPS) and Colorado State University (CSU) scientists are working together to better understand the scientific basis of these issues, providing that information to regulatory agencies at both the federal and state levels, and interpreting it for the public. The scattering and absorption of light by particles in the atmosphere affect the clarity of scenic views associated with national parks and wilderness areas. The Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) program routinely collects samples of particles that are analyzed for their chemical composition and optical properties in order to assess their visibility impacts and source origin. Results of these analyses will be shared with regulatory agencies, published in the scientific literature, presented at scientific meetings, and provided with the data through the web to collaborating scientists at other institutions. Some of the most effective ways to present the impacts of pollutants on scenic vistas is by photographic imaging techniques that accurately depict how the scene will appear under various pollutant and meteorological conditions. An image-based depiction of visibility is dependent on a firm understanding of the optical characteristics of pollutants, on state-of-the-art measuring techniques, on the ability to simulate accumulated effects, and on professional-quality image techniques. In addition to unimpeded visibility, healthy ecosystems are critical to the long-term sustainability of our parks and the quality of the visitor experience. Ecosystem changes due to atmospheric deposition of nitrogen compounds have been documented at many locations in the Rocky Mountains. The origins, chemical composition, and temporal changes in the deposition are not well understood. Field measurements are critical to understanding these changes and for charting a course for needed regulatory and policy actions to reduce nitrogen loadings. During the spring and summer of 2011, the NPS initiated a study with the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) of nitrogen deposition at Grand Teton National Park (NP). Regional air quality modeling will be performed to assess atmospheric nitrogen deposition at class I areas in the Greater Yellowstone Area. Oil and gas development negatively impacts air quality and visibility in pristine environments across the western United States. One region of particular interests is the Williston Basin in the northern Great Plains, where development has significantly increased in the Bakken shale formation over the last several years. Trend analyses have shown that aerosol composition and visibility degradation has increased in these areas over the last decade. However, little is known about the emissions and subsequent impacts from the energy and related development on visibility, air quality, and deposition. During the winter of 2012&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;2013 and winter-spring of 2013&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;2014, monitoring studies were performed at Theodore Roosevelt NP and other nearby sites in the Bakken Shale region of North Dakota. Aerosol composition, visibility, ozone, and deposition data obtained during these studies, as well as other existing air quality data from the state of North Dakota, will be analyzed to understand baseline conditions and impacts of the rapid development. Investigating the causal mechanisms for elevated pollutant levels is a critical component of the activities described here. Eulerian, Lagrangian, and receptor models are used and integrated with measured data for source apportionment studies and to evaluate the role of meteorology and other physical and chemical processes on measured and modeled concentrations. The results assist in the development of air quality policy positions within the NPS and inform state and federal agencies in the development of strategies to mitigate air quality issues. These modeling tools will be used to estimate source contributions to nitrogen deposition and other pollutants at national parks and other sensitive regions in the Greater Yellowstone Area. In addition, these tools will be used to investigate impacts from oil and gas development to air quality and visibility at western class I and II areas in the region as well as throughout the country. The NPS and United States Forest Service (USFS) use a number of disparate air quality and other datasets to assess air quality issues affecting NPS and USFS resources. These data are used to generate standard graphical and tabular products that represent the state of the air quality in NPS and USFS lands and to track progress toward reaching air quality improvement goals. These products are used to communicate this information to other NPS and USFS personnel, federal and state regulators, and the general public. The air quality research community also uses these data to conduct research projects to better assess and understand the causes of poor air quality. Web-based database support includes activities such as providing these air quality data inventories, processing the data for trends and conditions for park units, and displaying the data for government, academic, and public use. The sharing of these resources will be done through an unrestricted website. The specifics identified below describe a cooperative effort between the NPS and CIRA at CSU to analyze, interpret, and make available air quality, deposition, and visibility data, and analyses of these data. These data, interpretations, and analyses will be available to the scientific community, regulatory agencies, and the public. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT CSU agrees to: Conduct aerosol research; investigate nitrogen deposition in Rocky Mountain National Park (NP), the Greater Yellowstone area and other areas; evaluate the impacts of oil and gas development on national park lands; maintain and develop an air quality portal and database to facilitate data dissemination and analysis; and aid the development of public outreach products. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS agrees to: Participate in all phases of the work identified such as participate in data analysis, report writing, and will coauthor peer-reviewed publications. Provide access to air quality monitoring locations, equipment shelters, and specialized monitoring equipment; where applicable.

        <Description>Streams of the western United States are disappearing before our eyes as we are currently in the grip of a regional drought. Long-term records of stream flows in the west also show that we are in the midst of a longer-term problem: climate change. Recent studies have linked changing climates to lower low flows that last longer than we&amp;#8217;ve ever seen before. All of this translates into increasing scarcity of our most precious resource: water. Water sustains a host of species and natural ecosystems, as well as human needs ranging from farming and drinking water to recreation. To better understand where our water is and how availability is changing across the western landscape, we will develop new methods for identifying when and where streams go dry. This involves applying new methods to extract information on drying of streams from existing records intended to just record water temperature. By translating these temperature data into patterns of stream drying, we will gain important new information on water availability. Results of this work will unquestionably prove valuable for a multitude of management decisions that depend on anticipating future patterns of drought as the influences of climate change are realized across the western United States. </Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW Although Sitka youth have easy access to Sitka National Historical Park (SITK) (the park is no more than a 15 minute drive from anywhere in Sitka), the next nearest park (GLBA) is almost never experienced by Sitkans. Although it is a mere 90 miles away, it is an unachievable trip for most Sitkans, much less most Alaskans, and is largely inaccessible to youth due to high cost and limited transportation modes. Following direction and goals set by the NPS Centennial and the NPS Call to Action, this youth program will help youth to &amp;#8220;Find your Parks,&amp;#8221; and will reach new and younger audiences who have not traditionally been well-represented as visitors of National Parks in Alaska. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The primary purpose of this federal assistance award is to more effectively connect local communities with their National Parks and engage the next generation of leaders, stewards, and supporters of Alaska&amp;#8217;s National Parks by building a collaborative partnership between Sitka National Historical Park, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, and Alaska Geographic. More specifically, this project is to foster a stronger connection between the youth of Sitka and surrounding communities with neighboring Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Coordinate overall management of the expedition, documentation, and communication, working in close collaboration with NPS staff (Superintendent of Sitka National Historical Park). NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: a. identifying and coordinating with subject matter experts and NPS staff in Sitka, Glacier Bay, Gustavus, and Hoonah, to assist with risk management and program content and provide guest speakers during the expedition, b. providing one or two trip co-leaders (either NPS or partner staff) c. assisting with recruiting student participants, d. providing educational content, e. assisting with partnership development, and f. assisting with housing, transportation, and supplies through the NPS and partners. &amp;#8195; SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal Single Source Justification Description: Alaska Geographic has proposed a project that is consistent with National Park Service cooperative agreement authorities, National Park policies and initiatives, and represents an excellent value in terms of cost-sharing and cooperative effort. No other cooperating organization has suggested this type of unique and innovative idea to connect Alaska youth to their National Parks. No other organization has proposed this type of project and the results are fully consistent with NPS objectives and programs. </Description>

        <Description>Naval Support Facility Indian Head (NSFIH) is located in the northwestern portion of Charles County, Maryland, approximately 30 miles south of Washington, D.C. The total land area of NSFIH is approximately 3,314 acres. Charles County lies within the Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic province and is one of five counties that comprise the geographic region known as Southern Maryland. Southern Maryland is an irregularly shaped peninsula of 1,944 square miles, bounded on the south and west by the Potomac River, on the northwest by the District Columbia, on the north by the Patapsco River, and on the east by the Chesapeake Bay. The shoreline of NSFIH is surrounded by the Mattawoman and Chicamuxen Creeks and the Potomac River with numerous perennial streams flowing into these bodies of water. Previous base operations and practices at NSFIH have resulted in the degradation of water quality of onsite streams and wetland areas. These past actions have included grading and surface hardening that has negatively affected drainage patterns and increased stormwater runoff, encouraged soil erosion and increased the sediment loading of runoff. Many of the degraded areas are on slopes surrounding perennial streams and wetlands.If not implemented, the impacts to the mission of NSFIH will include further degradation of slopes along and surrounding perennial streams, negative increases in drainage patterns, soil erosion and sediment loading of runoff. Continued changes in drainage patterns will result in localized flooding, erosion of outfalls and unintended bypass of drainage systems and ditches. This effort supports the requirement of the Sikes Act and the NSF Indian Head Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) to mitigate soil erosion. INRMPs offer a coordinated approach for incorporating ecosystem management efforts into the management of natural resources at DoD installations.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Embassies in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia aim to offer a 12-month innovative, multi-phased investigative journalism training program for early and mid-career journalists working in the Baltic states, who report in local languages or Russian. Media organizations in all three countries need the skills and tools to produce fact-based, credible news reporting. The program will build a more mature, independent, and proactive 21st century media landscape in all three countries. While the program will include journalists from all three Baltic states and all three U.S. Embassies will take part in the planning and coordination, U.S. Embassy Vilnius is overseeing this NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY (NOFO). The ideal program will include in-country training/workshops in all three countries, cash reporting awards for journalists with realistic investigative reporting project ideas and opportunities to pursue them, and study trips to the United States to visit newsrooms, journalism schools and new models for funding and delivering quality journalism in the digital age. The successful program should also include methods for connecting alumni of the program and ongoing networking both among the three countries and with U.S. trainers/experts/contacts for project help as well as source and audience development. The program should allow flexibility of focus, needs and activities in each country. Programs that include local partners in any or all of the Baltic countries are also welcome. Please see link for full description and details.</Description>

        <Description>Proposed 2016 funding is designed for applied science projects only. The Science and Technology Program supports three separate but related efforts: (1) projects that develop and demonstrate improved technologies to address public safety and environmental issues related to the mining of coal and reclamation of the lands affected after mining (applied science projects), (2) projects that encourage efforts to collect, preserve and convert into digital format, maps of underground mines and other relevant geologic and hydrologic data that provide valuable information regarding: miner safety; mine pool evaluation; mine subsidence investigation, and protection of the public and the environment from adverse effects of underground coal mining (underground mine map projects); and, (3) projects that convert into digital form, mine permit data and maps related to evaluating the impacts of coal mining so that the information may be used in a geographic information system (GIS)accessible by Federal, state, and tribal agencies for assessing impacts of coal mining and reclamation on the environment (data conversion projects). The United States Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) is requesting applied science proposals for projects that develop and demonstrate improved science and technologies related to the mining of coal and the reclamation of the land after mining. There is no guarantee of funding for this solicitation. OSMRE has included a request for funding of Applied Science Projects in its FY 2016 budget. Funding will only become available if it is approved by Congress. Funded projects will help address important OSMRE issues during implementation of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA). Applicants may request funding up to $200,000. The award will be by cooperative agreement (or as an Interagency Agreement if another Federal Agency is involved). Each cooperative agreement will be for a period of time consistent with the proposal but not to exceed two years from date of award. Each cooperative agreement grantee may apply for and be granted non-funded extensions of time only as necessary to complete the project. Extensions will only be approved if there are documented delays beyond the control of the Principle Investigator (PI). Included in this document are instructions for preparing the proposal including a list of eligible issues and information on the proposal review process. OSMRE will only accept proposals that address the specific List of Eligible Issues. For this solicitation, there will be six issues that will be considered for funding. Proposals must specifically address one of the identified issues to be considered for funding. If a consensus is reached by the NTTT Applied Science Program Team that a proposal does not clearly address one of these six issues, it will be returned to the sender. Eligible issues for this solicitation are: Comprehensive Ecosystem Restoration Geomorphic Reclamation: The recent development and application of geomorphic reclamation techniques that results in a reclaimed land form that mimics similar naturally stable land forms allows for a more comprehensive approach to restoring the natural ecosystem form and function. A study is needed to quantify the environmental benefits relative to the economic costs that result from the use of geomorphic reclamation techniques to restore the pre-mining ecosystem functions. A study is also needed that would show how current geomorphic reclamation practices may be enhanced to make reclaimed landforms more accommodating to restoration of native species and how reclamation practices may be enhanced with subsurface reclamation techniques to better reestablish the hydrologic balance and prevent water quality degradation. How does the Application of Forestry Reclamation Approach Attenuate Runoff Characteristics in Streams in Appalachia: Streams in Appalachia can be impacted by mining and reclamation. A comprehensive study is needed to determine the extent to which the Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) method can improve attenuation of runoff events, reduce peak discharges, and re-establish base flows, water quality, and stream flow characteristics relative to non-FRA reclamation methods. Another area of study is a determination of the short-term impacts to water quality due to the application of FRA where final grading practices include placement of loose weathered spoil from the oxidized zone to promote root growth as compared to the use of reduced spoil materials. Improving Soil Conditions in the Arid Western U.S.: Abandoned mine lands in the arid west can be difficult to establish with native species. Physical characteristics such as soil textures, soil pH, organic matter, and soil chemistry need to be amended to enhance the survival of suitable plant species. Studies are needed to investigate the seeding of temporary cover crops including plants that may de-compact, add organic matter, and otherwise improve soil conditions. The aim is to reduce erosion and water evaporation and improve soil quality and permeability to prepare the soil for the establishment of native plants. Mine Pools and Hydrology Mine Pools: After cessation of underground mining, mine pools often develop in the voids remaining after mining. Discharges from these pools often have water quality issues that degrade streams and groundwater and are expensive to treat. They may also risk public safety if coal barriers or outcrops fail discharging large volumes of water into adjacent mines or onto the land surface. A study is needed to develop improved methods for modeling underground mine pools to predict, prior to mine closure, the potential for the mine pool to degrade surface and underground water resources. Also, a study is needed to better predict post-mining water levels under steady-state conditions including the total volume and location of water discharges from mines. Water Quality Impacts from Mining: Minimizing impacts from mining to surface water and groundwater resources are best accomplished by integrating new and better science applications into permitting and regulatory decisions. Applied science studies in several areas of potential impact to water resources have the potential to allow us to better predict long-term consequences, as well as to greatly advance reclamation science. In order to better predict probable hydrologic consequences due to underground mining, studies are needed on how geologic fault systems and other unforeseen conditions may be impacting groundwater movement and availability. Another area of needed study is the impact of discharges from coal mine sites, both surface and underground, that contain high salinity and/or toxic metals concentrations which may impair stream ecology. A study is needed that would evaluate and characterize the long-term effects that mining and reclamation practices have had on stream resources including chemical, physical, and biological resources. The analysis could include the short- and long-term effect on stream ecology starting when final grading and re-vegetation is completed and ending when a steady-state condition is achieved. Examples of needed studies would incorporate water quality impacts to aquatic biology where excess spoil fills have been constructed using contemporary mining methods specifically designed to reduce the potential for pollution discharges and a similar study of aquatic biology from surface mines without any excess spoil fills. Longwall and high extraction underground mining can generate adverse effects on the biologic and hydrologic functions of overlying streams. A comprehensive study that could advance our ability to predict the impacts on these surface waters is needed. Also, a study is needed to determine the success of current remedial measures and to identify the best technology currently available for mitigation of stream impacts from underground mining. Coal Slurry Impoundments Stability Field Impacts of Coal Slurry Impoundments: In the U. S., over 200 coal waste tailings dams are classified as having high hazard potential by the Federal Emergency Management Agency&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s hazard rating system. OSMRE requires comprehensive safety analysis in the design of coal slurry and refuse dams and has currently funded two projects: (1) the geotechnical properties and flow behavior of coal refuse in the laboratory, and (2) the effects of blasting on embankment stability. In addition to these studies, there is a need for a comprehensive in-situ field study on the geotechnical properties and flow behavior of fine coal refuse as it exists in coal refuse dams after placement. In particular, data are needed on the characteristics of the fine refuse, (1) after years of deposition, and (2) after loading resulting from upstream dam construction and final reclamation. Short- and long-term stability under static and impact loading should be evaluated. </Description>

        <Description>This Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) announcement sets out the application submission and review procedures for the Economic Development Administration (EDA) Regional Innovation Strategies (RIS) Program. Regional economic vitality is best accomplished through multi-stakeholder partnerships and collaborations that draw upon public, corporate, university, nonprofit, and philanthropic resources. Regional innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems&amp;#8212;which have a culture of idea generation, leadership, trust, openness to foraging new partnerships with disparate parties, entrepreneurial development, investment capital, and a large pool of accomplished managers&amp;#8212;often fuel these partnerships and collaborations. Robust, sustainable regional innovation ecosystems help drive national competitiveness. EDA is committed to fostering connected, innovation-centric economic sectors which support commercialization and entrepreneurship. The Department of Commerce (DOC) FY 2014-2018 Strategic Plan sets forth the strategic goal of working within and across ecosystems throughout the country to develop regional innovation strategies, including regional innovation clusters. This comprises building public and private capacity to invent, improve, and commercialize new products and services. Regional innovation strategies are a keystone of the Secretary of Commerce&amp;#8217;s commitment to building globally competitive regions. As part of this strategy, funding is available for capacity-building activities that include Proof of Concept Centers (POCCs) and Commercialization Centers (CCs) (as well as scaling of existing commercialization programs and centers) and for operational support for organizations that provide essential early-stage funding to startups. Under the RIS Program, EDA is soliciting applications for two separate competitions: (1) the 2015 i6 Challenge; and (2) Seed Fund Support (SFS) Grants. Applicants may, but are not required to, submit proposals for more than one competition under the RIS Program.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. The U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), plans intends to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with Innovators Educational Foundation (Recipient) to host the 2016 American Solar Challenge (ASC) in order to: 1) engage visitors in interpretive themes concerning sustainability, climate change and their effects on park resources, alternative energy and transportation technology; 2) provide an outstanding educational environment where collegiate participants are challenged and help the NPS connect to visitors; 3) celebrate the NPS Centennial; 4) reach out to new audiences; and 5) highlight resources NPS is charged with protecting and actions NPS is taking toward sustainable operations. Innovators Educational Foundation is a non-profit organization devoted to educational opportunities where students are challenged with &amp;#8216;hands-on&amp;#8217; learning experiences in the areas of science, engineering, and technology. The Foundation supports activities that push students to think outside the box and to be innovative with ideas that will lead to developing better solutions to society&amp;#8217;s challenges faced here in U.S. and around the world. The Foundation organizes the American Solar Challenge to provide a unique learning experience that challenges students from higher education to develop an original design solution that addresses areas of energy management, sustainability, transportation, and use of high-tech materials. The multi-state solar car rally charges the participant collegiate engineering teams to design, build and run solar cars for long distances. This experience provides real world experience to the college team. The communities that the ASC pass through have the opportunity to see innovative solar technology and the young innovators utilizing it, developing an awareness of the future of sustainable transportation. </Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW: The objective of this agreement is to: support youth opportunities to work in National Parks; provide youth an introduction to careers in conservation and natural resource management; to educate youth on the management decisions, management techniques, and operations required to manage natural resources; to provide youth development and leadership opportunities in challenging natural environments; to control invasive plants known to be a public nuisance including plants designated as noxious weeds under state or federal laws; and to restore plant communities within national parks through the use of prescribed fire, vegetation removal, and vegetation planting. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The program works with 18 different youth, ages 18-26, and provides training in outdoor conservation work, as well as job skills and teamwork opportunities, within national parks. NPS staff serve as coaches, mentors, and partners in helping these youth to understand potential career tracks within the NPS and other conservation organizations. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT: Identify and select youth suited for the program. Provide extensive training in operating various outdoor tools in challenging outdoor environments. Track the progress of each youth and teams throughout their service to ensure that human development goals are being met. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT: The NPS works with the recipient to design projects, to resource projects, to train staff, and to ensure that the projects provide the developmental and leadership opportunities that the recipient requires to achieve their objective of intern development in challenging natural environments. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: We are continuing a one-year agreement for four additional years. The original agreement was awarded based on full and open competition. </Description>

        <Description>Proposed Program Start Dates: Proposed new projects may begin between August 15, 2012 and September 30, 2012. Proposed continuation projects that have been granted a no-cost extension may begin up until December 31, 2012, subject to the availability of funds.Duration of Activity: No more than 12 months. In funding a project one year, PRM makes no representations that it will continue to fund the project in successive years and encourages applicants to seek a wide array of donors to ensure long-term funding possibilities.Current Funding Priorities for Iraqi Refugees and IDPs in the Middle East: PRM will prioritize funding for proposed NGO activities that best meet the Bureau&amp;#146;s priorities for displaced Iraqis as identified below. NGOs submitting proposals in response to this funding announcement must be registered to operate in each of the countries of the proposed activities by the program start date. Within the body of the proposal, NGOs should clearly state their ability to operate in the proposed areas and include documentation providing verification of their registration status as an attachment. Documentation of registration status and/or description of current operating status are particularly important in Syria and Turkey. NGOs that do not currently have an active, sustained presence in Iraq should provide information on actions taken to initiate operations, including baselines. (a) Because of PRM&amp;#146;s mandate to provide protection, assistance, and durable solutions for refugees and conflict victims, PRM will only consider funding projects that include a direct beneficiary base of at least 50 percent Iraqi refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), or returnees. In Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, proposed activities should primarily support Iraqi refugees. Inside Iraq, PRM is interested in projects that support both local integration of IDPs and reintegration of returning IDPs and refugees. PRM will consider proposals for activities in a single country as well as regional programs. (b) Proposals for programs outside Iraq should focus on health, protection, and livelihoods (including education). Proposals should include detailed information on planned coordination with and referral mechanisms to both local and international organizations. Programs must focus on one or more of the following sectors (not listed by priority):&amp;#149; Health care, including health education and preventative health care, reproductive health services, capacity building for local service providers, mainstreaming into local health care infrastructure, and clinical management of rape and other forms of gender based violence. Proposals should demonstrate how clinical services for survivors of gender-based violence, including men, boys, and LGBTI individuals, are incorporated into the project. NGOs will be required to provide their health program/beneficiary information to UNHCR. NGOs should also comment in detail on how, if at all, the fees they charge for their services differ from UNHCR&amp;#146;s healthcare rates, and whether and why they provide brand name and/or generic medications.&amp;#149; Mental health and psychosocial programs offering individual as well as family/group counseling and/or therapy. Proposals should adhere to the IASC Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings and articulate how beneficiaries are identified; previous coordination with other mental health providers, including training; efforts to improve local capacity to provide adequate mental healthcare; the extent to which the NGO is able to utilize local organizations/resources to meet the mental healthcare needs of its beneficiaries; and an overview of the most prevalent mental health needs among the displaced Iraqi population that the NGO intends to address. Proposals should demonstrate how clinical services for survivors of gender-based violence are incorporated into the project. &amp;#149; Humanitarian assistance and protection, including: non-food items; gender-based violence prevention and response programs, including services for both female and male survivors and perpetrators; programs aimed at addressing the interrelated assistance and protection needs of vulnerable beneficiaries by providing services and referral networks; and other emergency assistance to extremely vulnerable individuals. Proposals should indicate how this assistance is filling an identified gap, including how the gap and the beneficiaries were identified.&amp;#149; Education, including remedial education and non-formal education programs, with special attention to adolescents, particularly those at risk of losing educational opportunities due to their interrupted educational career due to displacement, the need to generate income, or to their lack of documentation of prior education in Iraq. Proposals should address how the educational assistance will assist with integration into local educational structures and whether the certification earned from the educational assistance will be recognized by the Government of Iraq should the refugee voluntarily choose to return.&amp;#149; Vocational training, continuing professional education, and/or livelihoods/business development programs linked to current and/or future job opportunities. Where applicable, the proposal should include a description of what efforts will be made to assist in making job placements. (c) Proposals for programs inside Iraq should focus on livelihoods (including education) and gender-based violence prevention and response for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and IDP or refugee returnees. Proposals should include detailed information on planned coordination with and referral mechanisms to both local and international organizations, in addition to coordination with local authorities where possible. Programs should be limited to Baghdad, Diyala, Ninewa, and Erbil governorates.Programs must focus on one or more of the following sectors (not listed by priority): &amp;#149; Gender-based violence prevention, response, and reintegration support for both female and male survivors and perpetrators. &amp;#149; Mental health and psychosocial programs offering individual and family/group counseling and/or therapy, as well as capacity building of local mental health service providers. Proposals should demonstrate how clinical services for survivors of gender-based violence are incorporated into the project. &amp;#149; Formal education reintegration support for youth with an interrupted educational career due to displacement, the need to generate income, or to their lack of documentation of prior education in Iraq. This could include remedial education aimed at facilitating re-entry into the formal school system; assisting families in obtaining necessary documentation; training in literacy, life skills, and vocational skills linked to local markets; facilitating communication between IDP communities and local school administrations to ensure equality of access; or developing local solutions to promote school attendance among IDP communities.(d) All program design should take into account the following guidance: &amp;#149; Programs are encouraged to prioritize the needs of women and girls in a way that strengthens their roles in families and in the broader community. Programs should also target the needs of the most vulnerable groups among the Iraqi refugee, IDP, and returnee population (e.g., female-headed households; disabled or isolated refugees; GBV survivors; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals; etc.). Younger single men are also considered a vulnerable group for which PRM would consider targeted programming. Programs are encouraged to demonstrate how they will train their staff to meet the specific protection and assistance needs of these vulnerable groups effectively. Programs should be accessible to physically disabled persons.&amp;#149; In proposals for follow-on activities for PRM-funded projects, NGOs should demonstrate the application of lessons learned and changes necessitated by the dynamic social and economic situation of Iraqis in the region. NGOs should assess the continuing effectiveness of the humanitarian assistance they currently provide, highlighting best practices developed and any programmatic adjustments that should be made in follow-on activities. &amp;#149; Proposals should include a realistic and detailed assessment of the sustainability of the project.&amp;#149; All NGOs must participate in UNHCR-designed and -managed refugee assistance information systems where applicable. (e) PRM will accept proposals from any NGO working in the above mentioned sectors although, given budgetary constraints, priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate:&amp;#149; A working relationship with UNHCR and/or current UNHCR funding;&amp;#149; A proven track record in providing proposed assistance both in the sector and specified location;&amp;#149; Evidence of coordination with international organizations (IOs) and other NGOs working in the same area or sector, as well as &amp;#150; where possible &amp;#150; local authorities; &amp;#149; A concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, time-bound and trackable (SMART), have established baselines, and include at least one outcome or impact indicator per objective; objectives should be clearly linked to the sectors in the RFP;&amp;#149; Projects inside Iraq, because of the return/local integration context, where feasible, must include strong transition plans in their proposals that detail specific benchmarks and/or a timeline for turning over the project to local organizations, Iraqi authorities, or development organizations;&amp;#149; A budget that is appropriate for meeting the objectives and demonstrates co-funding by non-U.S. government sources; &amp;#149; Appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant organizations. &amp;#149; Adherence to relevant international standards for humanitarian assistance. See PRM&amp;#146;s General NGO Guidelines for a complete list of sector-specific standards.(e) Country Specific Instructions &amp;#149; Iraq and Syria: NGOs should describe security arrangements for international and local staff, including contingency planning for deteriorating security conditions. *************************************************For more details on this specific opportunity, please click the &amp;quot;Full Announcement&amp;quot; Grants.gov link.For PRM&amp;apos;s general NGO guidelines, please go to the Funding Opportunities page of PRM&amp;apos;s website: http://www.state.gov/j/prm/funding/c50224.htm.

        <Description>The goal of this project is to generate data and develop a statistical sampling and analysis strategy to aid FDA/CDER policy in drafting data-based guidance in support of the use of appropriate statistical tools and standards. Specifically, the development of standards for statistical methods suitable for lot release which could be used to drive industry towards increased product and process understanding throughout the lifecycle of a product. The project will provide data, sampling and data analysis approaches to inform for the agency and the human pharmaceutical industry to advance the development of risk- and science-based standards. These projects could be split into subsets by product type, process type, manufacturing complexity and/or therapeutic index to facilitate understanding. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy, through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), seeks to facilitate the advancement of reactor concepts through engagement between DOE and industry. In support of that goal, DOE desires to partner with industry to fund up to 2 cost-shared awards that will progress the development of selected advanced reactor designs. As a part of this effort, DOE, through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is seeking applications for projects that progress the development of advanced reactor concepts with the potential of being demonstrated in the 2035 timeframe. The awards resulting from this FOA shall support the overall project but include only those activities in the applicant&amp;#8217;s proposed work scope that can be completed within the next five years, subject to availability of funds. This FOA is available at Fedconnect (https://www.fedconnect.net) under reference number DE-FOA-0001313. Any Government obligation under this program is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for award purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer, notice of award is made to the recipient by the Contracting Officer, and the recipient receives notice of such availability of funds, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. Applications in response to this FOA must be submitted through grants.gov. DOE intends to allow for approximately 64 days for applicant response to this FOA. The application due date is October 5, 2015. DOE will conduct a webinar on August 24, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. EST covering financial assistance award requirements, the application submission requirements, and the merit review process. Interested parties are encouraged to review the FOA and submit any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns to DOE on or before August 17, 2015. DOE will make every effort to address these during the Webinar on August 24th. FOA-related questions may be submitted through the FedConnect portal (identified in the FOA). </Description>

        <Description>The Colorado River Basin historically provided habitat for all four endangered species; Colorado Pikeminnow, Razorback Sucker, Roundtail Chub, and the Bonytail. Accurate fish counts are an important aspect of the program&amp;#8217;s responsibility in the recovery of endangered fish species. Beginning in the 1990&amp;#8217;s the programs throughout the Colorado River Basin have relied on PIT-tagging (Passive Integrated Transponder) as a way to individually mark fish and allow researchers to track fish over a period of time, eventually providing population estimates. These population estimates are critical to determining the effects of management actions and ultimately lead to decisions on whether the fish can be recovered and/or delisted. Accurately detecting fish moving through rivers and streams is difficult and costly. Existing passive systems are primarily effective for species with predictable movement patterns that can be funneled past stationary antennas. Some systems exist for detecting fish in smaller tributaries or creeks, but these systems are limited in their ability to read fish in a larger river system. Endangered fish in the Colorado River Basin are tagged prior to stocking, or are captured using electrofishing or traps and tagged with PIT tags to allow researchers to track their movements and assess survival. Efforts to collect data on subsequent recaptures of the tagged fish involve large amounts of personnel and equipment since the fish must be physically recaptured to scan the PIT tags. Recapturing can lead to mortality or changes in behavior and movements and thus bias the data and place the endangered fish at risk. Remote and unmanned detection systems are needed to detect these fish without capturing to reduce both cost and injuries to the fish. In an effort to develop mobile and remote-detection systems, Reclamation and Utah State University researchers have collaborated on the development of several systems to detect fish as they pass through or under various antenna arrays. These systems were developed under a previous Cooperative Agreement through the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) agreement. These systems consist of antenna modules, a master controller to operate the antennas, various power supplies (solar and conventional 110volt AC), integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and software for mobile systems; and data recorders to record tag numbers, dates, times, and locations of tags in the various rivers. Some of the systems can be mounted to various watercrafts (e.g., rafts) and floated down a river. </Description>

Additional dollars are spent on fuel treatments traditionally used in the region but which lack quantitative support. General literature and observational data suggest that these typical fuel treatments may, in the long run, serve to decrease soil moisture and temperature and increase invasive vegetation that serve as flash fuels, while decreasing the quantity and quality of habitat available for federally listed species. These potentially conflicting requirements often occur in highly urban and suburban areas where fire risk and liability are real threats to the mission. The current project seeks to bring all these objectives together to provide research on an ecosystem management approach to reduce fire risk and liability in an ecologically sustainable manner that also increases habitat quality for listed species, and reduces long-term maintenance costs. To achieve quality outcomes that support the mission in the most efficient manner, techniques suggested by qualitative and observational data need precise implementation with an appropriate experimental design, quantitative monitoring results, and analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of results. See the statement of work for full description of the project. </Description>

        <Description>This project will develop an environmental DNA tracking protocol to provide early detection of three invasive species blue tilapia, Oreochromis aureus; red shiner, Cyprinella lutrensis; and red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii at Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Warm Springs Natural AreA and adjacent waters. The work will be coordinated with removal of fish barriers and chemical eradication efforts. An eDNAtocol developed for crayfish at Ash Meadows NWR will be revised to detect two additional invasive species. This protocol will empower early detection of invasive threats, thus early response to help minimize impacts due to these threats. The work helps implement the associated recovery plan and the Comprehensive Conservation Plan for the Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex,</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Veterans&amp;#8217; Employment and Training Service (VETS), announces the availability of approximately $1.5 million in grant funds authorized by Title 38 of United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 2023, which provides that the &amp;#8220;Secretary of Labor . . . shall carry out a program of referral and counseling services to eligible veterans with respect to benefits and services available to such veterans under this title and under State law.&amp;#8221; VETS expects to award approximately five (5) IVTP grants in Program Year 2015. IVTP grants are designed to assist currently incarcerated veterans and veterans recently released from incarceration in overcoming barriers to employment and gaining meaningful employment and avoiding homelessness. Grants awarded under this FOA will allow VETS to evaluate the benefits of linking the HVRP and IVTP programs as part of a demonstration (pilot) project. In the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015, Congress granted VETS the additional authority to serve veterans who have recently been released from incarceration who are at risk of homelessness (Division G, Title 1, Public Law 113-235). HVRP grantees are already working with veterans who are homeless and were recently released from incarceration. Combining the unique experience of HVRP grantees with the targeted focus of IVTP could maximize the use of federal funds while meeting the needs of these uniquely disadvantaged veterans. This combination would help fill a service gap identified by our technical assistance grantees, the Bureau of Prisons, and the Department of Justice. VETS would like to test this theory with the intention, dependent on subsequent authorization and appropriations, that we provide a full and open competition once we have determined if this model works. IVTP will be evaluated using the most rigorous designs appropriate and will include formative designs, implementation studies and outcome analysis. Additionally, because we are requiring partnerships with penal institutions to ensure that transitioning veterans are effectively served, we are further limiting the applicants to current or recent HVRP grantees that were awarded an IVTP grant during 2010. This limitation is necessary because our experience with penal institutions and the research of our Technical Assistance grantees indicates that it is difficult to obtain the proper clearances to work in correctional institutions. This background experience is particularly necessary given that these grants will be awarded after the Program Year (PY) 2015 has begun, and applicants will have limited time to implement their proposed programs. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00263 Project Title Development of an early detection of invasive plants monitoring protocol for the Mojave Desert Network Inventory and Monitoring Program Recipient University of Montana Total Anticipated Award Amount $137,994.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award to August 31, 2017 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award to August 31, 2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; 54 USC 101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs-Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Early detection monitoring of incipient invasive plants was ranked among the top priorities in the Mojave Desert Network (MOJN) Inventory &amp;amp; Monitoring Program (I&amp;amp;M) in the vital signs selection process due to the clear identification of, and concern about, the effects these plants can have on park ecosystems. The known ecological impacts of invasive species include loss of threatened and endangered species, altered structure and composition of terrestrial and aquatic communities, and reduction in overall species diversity. While long-term changes associated with invasive species are being monitoring through other protocols (i.e., integrated upland vegetation and soils), it is also critical to catch new populations of invasive species early in their invasion of new and sensitive habitats. Only when invasions are caught early will the chance of eradication remain high. Early detection monitoring in the MOJN will include three main components: 1) updating and/or creating individual park early detection species lists; 2) opportunistic surveillance monitoring of invasive plant species that will focus on educating monitoring field crews, cooperators, volunteers, and resource managers on invasive species identification; and 3) development and maintenance of a coherent framework for reporting and disseminating information on potential infestations. These components will allow park resource managers to assess the detection of each invasive species on an individual basis and target limited management resources and coordination toward the highest priority risks. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The product of this project, a monitoring protocol for invasive plants, will benefit not only the MOJN parks, but society at large. Public and private lands bear the burden of disturbance cause directly and indirectly by infestation by non-native species that displace natives and change the ecosystem such that it no longer supports native landscapes and/or species valued by the public. Costs of controlling, removing, and remediating invasive species impacts in the United States are escalating, not only on NPS lands but also on other federal, state, and private lands. The resulting disturbance is often irreparable rendering lands no longer valuable for the visitor&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s experience. Through this project the NPS will be directly involved with the University of Montana in describing goals, jointly developing the scope, and activities to be accomplished. The NPS will collaborate with the University of Montana to develop a work plan, oversee assignments, distribute tools and provide technical assistance and safety training. This project will engage and educate the University of Montana, partners of public lands throughout the Mojave Desert, communities associated with and visitors to the Mojave Desert Network parks. University of Montana will benefit from the collaborative relationship with NPS because it provides the university an opportunity to provide a service (employ and educate research assistance and students). In addition this project will provide the scientific community and researchers of University of Montana as a whole to gain new knowledge provided through this research. Development of early detection monitoring of invasive plant species is proposed as a three-phase project. In Phase 1, the University of Montana will work with MOJN I&amp;amp;M to conduct a literature review and report on the current state of invasive species science. In Phase 2, University of Montana will work with MOJN I&amp;amp;M to draft a monitoring protocol and associated standard operating procedures per NPS guidance. In Phase 3, the University of Montana will work with MOJN I&amp;amp;M to field test the standard operating procedures and complete and submit the protocol and SOPs for NPS publication RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Collaboratively undertake a project titled &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Development of an early detection of invasive plants monitoring protocol for the Mojave Desert Network&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; as described in Attachment I and throughout this document. 2.

        <Description>The Marine Turtle Conservation Fund is soliciting proposals for the conservation of marine turtles (Chelonia mydas, Caretta caretta, Dermochelys coriacea, Eretmochelys imbricata, Lepidochelys olivacea, Lepidochelys kempii) throughout their range outside of the United States and its territories. The U.S. Government enacted the Marine Turtle Conservation Act (MTCA) of 2004 in response to the decline of many marine turtle populations worldwide and the serious threats to their long-term survival. The primary purpose of the Act is to provide financial support for projects that conserve nesting populations and habitat and address other threats to the survival of marine turtles in foreign countries.The goal of this program is to reduce threats to marine turtles in their natural habitat. Proposals should identify specific conservation actions that have a high likelihood of creating lasting benefits. Project activities that emphasize data collection and status assessment should describe a direct link to management action, and explain how lack of information has been a key limiting factor for management action in the past. Proposals that do not identify how actions will reduce threats or that do not demonstrate a strong link between data collection and management action will be disqualified.Proposed project work should occur within the species range, outside of the United States. If work is to be conducted outside of the species range, the proposal should show a clear relevance to its conservation. To the extent that it provides clear, direct support for the program objectives above, proposed work may also relate to climate change adaptation, mitigation and education.</Description>

Specifically, the project will estimate survival and reproductive output of birds nesting on sandbars on the lower Niobrara, as well as the connection of these birds to the breeding populations throughout the Great Plains. Additionally, the project will examine the relationship between these birds and their habitat using remotely-sensed imagery and monitoring data from various groups and locations along the Niobrara. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: To greater understand the population dynamics and habitat of piping plovers on the lower Niobrara River and to make management recommendations based on these findings. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT: Conduct field monitoring (nest and chick monitoring, bird banding) and remote-sensing analysis to determine habitat suitability. Estimate the effects of habitat change on the distribution of plovers on the Niobrara and examine which factors contribute to and distract from efforts to recover the species. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT: Provide technical and logistical assistance and expertise. Take lead in interpretive component implementation. Assist with field monitoring. The Recipient is a member of the (Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit) who was awarded a Master Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00882) allowing (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) to participate in specific tasks, and can provide the necessary activities involved in this particular task while providing an effective outcome for NPS and the objectives of this research/educational project. The recipient is uniquely qualified to carry out the field work and scientific study associated with the study. This study will fill knowledge gaps and inform NPS management decisions. </Description>

        <Description>Executive Summary The National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS) is the mechanism through which the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP), HIV Incidence and Case Surveillance Branch (HICSB) monitors trends in HIV infection diagnoses in the United States. Data collected on reported HIV cases are also used to estimate the prevalence and incidence of HIV infections, progression of disease after diagnosis, and receipt of care (based on laboratory tests after diagnosis). NHSS data guide public health action at federal, state, and local levels and help public health officials develop, implement, and evaluate HIV prevention programs (including efforts to prevent disease progression after diagnosis). Information on HIV infection and disease progression can be used to determine where HIV prevention services are most needed and ensure that persons living with HIV infection receive appropriate care. CDC-funded health departments report HIV case surveillance data to NHSS. The CDC National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&amp;amp;E) system provides data about CDC-funded HIV testing and other prevention activities conducted by CDC-funded health departments and community-based organizations. HIV testing is one of the DHAP core HIV prevention strategies. NHM&amp;amp;E testing data are used at federal, state and local levels to inform HIV prevention policy, program decision-making, and program monitoring and evaluation activities. Tracking persons newly diagnosed with HIV infection and their timely access to HIV medical care is important for CDC-funded HIV prevention programs. This supplement is an expansion of activities under FOA CDC-RFA-PS13-1302. The purpose of the project is to improve the quality and completeness of CDC-funded HIV testing data through the sharing of data between the HIV surveillance program and the HIV prevention program at each health department. Health departments will implement strategies for sharing HIV testing and HIV case surveillance data between these two programs to improve the accuracy of data on new and pre-existing HIV diagnoses and linkage to HIV medical care among persons newly diagnosed with HIV infection.</Description>

Grants generally may cover a period of performance of up to two years, with an exception for projects that include primary data collection as part of the proposed activity. Projects that include primary data collection may request up to three years. RESEARCH: ART WORKS: Grant Program Description Background In September 2012, the NEA&amp;apos;s Office of Research &amp;amp; Analysis published its five-year research agenda, supported by a system map and measurement model. Titled How Art Works, the report offers a framework for studying research topics critical to a broader public understanding of the arts&amp;apos; value and/or impact for individuals and communities. The How Art Works system map presents several different research areas, each ripe for fresh inquiry. To obtain a better understanding of each area of the map, researchers can collect and analyze data on a host of variables. Research areas include the system&amp;apos;s core components of Arts Participation and Arts Creation; the system&amp;apos;s inputs (Arts Infrastructure and Education &amp;amp; Training); and the system&amp;apos;s main outcomes, e.g., cognitive or emotional benefits to individuals, or civic or economic benefits to communities. The map is not prescriptive. It is intended primarily to communicate to potential applicants a cluster of topics and relationships that the NEA is exploring as part of its five-year research agenda. </Description>

        <Description>The Arts Endowment&amp;#8217;s support of a project may begin any time between November 1, 2016, and November 1, 2017, and extend for up to two years. Grant Program Description Through fellowships to published translators, the Arts Endowment supports projects for the translation of specific works of prose, poetry, or drama from other languages into English. We encourage translations of writers and of work that are not well represented in English translation. All proposed projects must be for creative translations of literary material into English. The work to be translated should be of interest for its literary excellence and value. Priority will be given to projects that involve work that has not previously been translated into English. Competition for fellowships is rigorous. Potential applicants should consider carefully whether their work will be competitive at the national level. </Description>

        <Description>This project will enhance the content of the USNVC Standard through an in-depth analysis of a comprehensive database of Longleaf pine woodland plot data and will enrich the USNVC Vegetation Plot archive (Vegbank) with that plot data. With approximately 3 percent of the originally extensive (90 million acres) system still intact, the longleaf pine ecosystem is a major focus of conservation efforts throughout the Southeastern U.S. A comprehensive understanding of the plant communities represented by these woodlands is essential for effective management and conservation. This project will provide a review and revision of the USNVC Standard at the Alliance and Association level for Longleaf Pine Woodlands of the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. This work will result in a formal proposal of revisions to be considered by the Ecological Society of America&amp;#8217;s Vegetation Panel, the scientific advisory group charged by the FGDC Vegetation Subcommittee to guide the revision process.</Description>

        <Description>Personnel from MRT and NPS will collaborate to increase scientific knowledge of the unique cultural resources of the Santa Monica Mountains, and to develop and refine techniques for their preservation. Much of this work serves to provide baseline documentation of cultural resources as required by NPS policies in order to provide park management with critical data to assist in management decisions and park operations. Baseline data on cultural resources are also needed for consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office and other regulatory agencies, and with Native American tribal organizations regarding park undertakings and operations that potentially impact cultural resources.</Description>

        <Description>National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them. These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation. This Task Agreement focuses on planning, administration, outreach, and demonstration projects that are identified in the management plan for the South Park NHA and serve a public purpose under P.L. 111-11.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM), through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), seeks to award one or more cooperative agreements (anticipated to be for a term of up to five years) to accredited United States (U.S.) Colleges and Universities (hereafter referred to as &amp;#8220;Universities&amp;#8221;) to train graduate students in specific disciplines or sub-disciplines aligned with DOE science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce needs in the area of Robotics, particularly as they apply to the mission of EM. Robotics engineers with education and advanced degrees in hardware, software, and integration of robotics are needed to enable the design, manufacturing, and deployment of advanced radiation robotics. This DOE Traineeship program will support innovative proposals for graduate level training that leverage DOE assets and capabilities and strategic partnerships, and address emerging needs in graduate training to enable preparedness for STEM careers beyond those in academia. DOE has mission-specific workforce needs in STEM fields and a responsibility to support the training of the next generation of STEM professionals who will serve that mission. The complex nature of the scientific and technical work supported by DOE and carried out by the DOE laboratories, colleges and universities, and the private sector generally requires advanced graduate level training. Historically, the DOE&amp;#8217;s primary mechanism for supporting the training of graduate students has been through the inclusion in standard research awards to universities and DOE laboratories. This FOA will establish DOE-sponsored University-led traineeships as a mechanism for graduate-level training critical to DOE mission-driven workforce needs. This will be accomplished through a focused academic graduate program that delivers unique, innovative curriculum, coupled with a rigorous thesis or dissertation research requirement, in the desired DOE-relevant scientific or technical discipline(s). The DOE-sponsored University-led traineeships will strategically address identified STEM workforce training needs in the area of Robotics as they apply to: nuclear environmental remediation; radioactive waste retrieval, treatment, processing, storage, transportation, and disposal; stewardship of spent nuclear fuel and special nuclear materials; nuclear facility and infrastructure operations, maintenance and sustainment; facility/infrastructure deactivation and decommissioning; occupational (worker) safety; industrial and nuclear facility safety; and other activities related to the handling and management of high-hazard, high-consequence materials and waste. This FOA is available at Fedconnect (https://www.fedconnect.net) under reference number DE-FOA-0001374. Any Government obligation under this program is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for award purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer, notice of award is made to the recipient by the Contracting Officer, and the recipient receives notice of such availability of funds, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. Applications in response to this FOA must be submitted through grants.gov. DOE intends to allow for approximately 57 days for applicant response to this FOA. The application due date is September 30, 2015. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00269 Project Title HALS Historical Report &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Clark Veterans Cemetery Recipient American Society of Landscape Architects Total Anticipated Award Amount $50,000.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until June 30, 2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until June 30, 2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.946 Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00290 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, (NPS), and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) for the purpose of promote the purposes of Title 54 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;National Park Service and Related Programs&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; and ASLA&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s undertaking activities requiring the sharing of their knowledge, skills and resources. In 2000 the NPS and ASLA (along with the Library of Congress) signed a permanent Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding establishing the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS). This Memorandum states that the unique nature and growing understanding of the significance of historic landscapes justifies independent information about historic landscapes. Also this tripartite relationship is designed to inform the public, assist professionals in making informed management decisions, and to educate and train students, thereby developing future professionals in historic landscape documentation and preservation. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The Subcommittee on Historic Preservation of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is one of their fasted growing Professional Interest Groups. As such there is a growing interest and need within the membership of ASLA to work more closely with the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) to develop prototypes for professional guidance of its members and practitioners. Clark American Battlefield Cemetery and Memorial is located near Manila in the Philippines. The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) has recently acquired the cemetery and requires a HALS physical and cultural history completed to the Standards of the Secretary of the Interior. Such a high profile project is an excellent opportunity for ASLA to work closely with HALS in establishing a quality baseline document to serve such prototype purposes. Historic cemeteries are rapidly becoming highly significant historic landscapes and ASLA desires to promote the highest scholarship in setting these standards. This complex 6 month project will require an onsite visit as well as the extensive research of original records in various archives associated with the history of the historic cemetery and its various managers and owners over its 100+ year history. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The ASLA agrees to: 1. Establish a high quality prototype for documentation to the Standards of the Secretary of the Interior as a model of excellence for its membership. 2. Promote the results of the prototype through its Historic preservation Subcommittee. 3. Support the dissemination of information based on the final product for Clark Cemetery, a high quality prototype for HALS history. 4. Cooperate with HALS to expand and enhance the further documentation of historic landscapes based on this pilot project. 6. Utilize the results of this project to identify and develop strategies to record other nationally significant landscapes threatened with demolition or with critical need for documentation. 7. Share resources, facilities, information and scholarly knowledge to enhance the ability of each party to advance the documentation of historic landscape architecture. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS agrees to: 1. Work together with the ASLA to undertake documentation of nationally important landscape architecture, such as National Historic Landmarks and the primary historic landscapes of the National Park Service. 2. Cooperate with the ASLA in support of scholars researching American landscape architecture, architecture and engineering in the HABS/HAER/HALS collections. All final documentation created will be available to the public as part of the HABS/HAER/HALS collection housed at the Library of Congress. 3. Participate with the ASLA in developing educational programs and materials based on documentation in the HABS/HAER/HALS collections. 4. Develop and maintain a list of nationally significant landscapes threatened or with a critical need for documentation. 5. Share resources, facilities, information, and professional expertise in landscape architectural, architectural and engineering documentation, to enhance the ability of each party to advance the documentation of historic landscapes. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award.

        <Description>This is NOT a request for applications. This is just an announcement that the Maryland Department of Planning on behalf of the Maryland Historical Trust has already received an award for their work on the Pocket Guide to the Potomac River Segment of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail (CAJO). Specifically, Maryland Historical Trust is responsible for working with NPS to be sure that all products are integrated with the Captain John Smith Chesapeake NHT to develop and produce the following: Pocket Guide to the Potomac River Segment of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail &amp;#8211; including a fold-out map and guide that will serve the interpretive needs and objectives of historical museums, societies, parks and outfitters along the Potomac River as they help tell the stories of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. The pocket guide will draw on historical and travel content, images, maps developed for the Pocket Guide to the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. The product will be an easy-to-use fold-out companion piece, describing in greater detail the best places and activities along the Potomac River segment. The smaller geographic scope of this project will enable a greater depth of information to be covered, enabling users to plan their visit to this region based on the guide. The pocket guide will be available at no cost at partner sites and information distribution centers identified in the guide. It will also be available to download online. </Description>

        <Description>The San Diego National Wildlife Refuge Complex and its partners will implement a pilot project involving the application of a thin-layer of clean sediment over 10 acres of degraded cordgrass habitat on the Seal Beach NWR to improve habitat quality and the ecosystem services associated with healthy coastal salt marsh vegetation. As a pilot project, the sediment application process will be monitored to identify and document suitable application techniques. Pre- and five years post-application monitoring will be conducted for the project site and a control site to evaluate the overall effectiveness of this process as a sea level rise adaptation strategy, and analyses will be conducted on the project site to expand our understanding of carbon storage and carbon sequestration in Southern California coastal salt marsh habitats.</Description>

        <Description>National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them. These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation. This 2015 Work Plan will continue to concentrate on the six areas of the Management Plan: 1. Public Relations &amp;amp; Outreach 2. Interpretation &amp;amp; Heritage Tourism 3. Community Interpretation &amp;amp; Revitalization Planning 4. Conserving Community &amp;amp; Traditions 5. Preservation, Conservation &amp;amp; Recreation 6.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>This FOA is open to U.S. universities, national laboratories, and industry.Research consortiums may be composed of diverse institutions including academia, national laboratories, non-profit research institutes, industry/utilities, and international partners. Research teams should strive to achieve the synergies that arise when individuals with forefront expertise in different methodologies, technologies, disciplines, and areas of content knowledge approach a problem together, overcoming impasses by considering the issue from fresh angles and discovering novel solutions.DOE-NE strongly encourages diversifying its research portfolio through effective partnerships with industry, underrepresented groups, and MSI, which may receive funding support from the project. International partners are encouraged to participate, however no U.S. government funding will be provided to entities incorporated outside of the United States. DOE-NE will evaluate the benefit and contribution of any such proposed partnerships as part of its program relevancy evaluation and scoring. The following link provides the current list of MSI:http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/edlite-minorityinst.html.In Appendix A and C, no more than 20% of the total funds provided by the government can go to a non-university collaborator.A collaborator is an individual that makes a defined, material contribution that is critical to the success of the project. Any individuals that do not meet these criteria should not be listed as collaborators on the application form.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Department of Energy&amp;#8217;s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) conducts crosscutting nuclear energy research and development (R&amp;amp;D) and associated infrastructure support activities to develop innovative technologies that offer the promise of dramatically improved performance for advanced reactors and fuel cycle concepts while maximizing the impact of DOE resources.NE strives to promote integrated and collaborative research conducted by national laboratory, university, industry, and international partners under the direction of NE&amp;#8217;s programs. NE funds research activities through both competitive and direct mechanisms, as required to best meet the needs of NE. This approach ensures a balanced R&amp;amp;D portfolio and encourages new nuclear power deployment with creative solutions to the universe of nuclear energy challenges. This FOA addresses the competitive portion of NE&amp;#8217;s R&amp;amp;D portfolio as executed through the Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP), Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies (NEET) Crosscutting Technology Development (CTD), and the Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF). NEUP utilizes up to 20% of funds appropriated to NE&amp;#8217;s R&amp;amp;D program for university-based infrastructure support and R&amp;amp;D in key NE program-related areas: Fuel Cycle Research and Development (FC R&amp;amp;D), Reactor Concepts Research, Development and Demonstration (RC RD&amp;amp;D), and Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS). NEET CTD supports national laboratory-, university- and industry-led crosscutting research. By establishing the NSUF in 2007, DOE-NE opened up the world of material test reactors, beam lines, and post-irradiation examination facilities to researchers from U.S. universities, industry and national laboratories by granting no-cost access to world-class nuclear research facilities. In addition to the consolidation of the NSUF Call for Applications (CFA) for access to capabilities, NEUP or NEET CTD projects requiring irradiation testing and/or post-irradiation examination (PIE) may include no-cost access to NSUF capabilities through a single application response to this FOA.NE reserves the right to respond to potential shifts in R&amp;amp;D priorities during Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 that may be driven by events, policy developments, or Congressional/budget direction. NE will factor such considerations into decisions related to the timing and scale of award announcements associated with this FOA. Further, NE reserves the right to fund all or part of an application to this FOA with programmatic funds. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Embassy, Belmopan, is pleased to announce that it is currently accepting proposals for funding through the 2015 Ambassador&amp;#8217;s HIV Prevention Program (AHPP). The AHPP is a project of the Department of State&amp;apos;s Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and is administered by the Central American Regional Office of the President&amp;#8217;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Proposals should focus on community-based prevention activities to reduce the spread of HIV, reduce AIDS-related stigma and discrimination, and/or encourage communities to cooperate in fighting the epidemic. The U.S. Embassy will prioritize proposals which present creative, original and innovative ideas that focus on Key Populations (KP), and Persons Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs). While no single grant proposal should exceed US $10,000, any organization can make more than one proposal. </Description>

That series of consultations identified a need to develop and test colonial waterbird population monitoring platforms and protocols that are less biased by access and that explicitly incorporate detection probability. The careful application and rigorous evaluation of unmanned aerial vehicles as a potential waterbird monitoring platform was therefore identified as a priority pursuit. The Southwest Region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hereby provides NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE SOURCE WITHOUT COMPETITION for a single season evaluation of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for surveying waterbird colonies.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this project is threefold: 1) to process specimens of fish collected for the San Juan River Recovery Implementation Program (SJRIP); 2) capture all field information into an electronic catalog and; 3) incorporate the SJRIP collections into a phylogenetic system in the permanent museum archives. The purpose of this modification is to add one additional staff person to the workgroup to support the workload. This Grant Award is made under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) agreement. The United Stated Bureau of Reclamation participates in the CESU under number 9-FG-81-0143. Objectives 1. Provide a secure and organized permanent repository for San Juan River fish collections, field notes, and associated data thereby facilitating access to these resources by SJRIP researchers. 2. Insure that all SJRIP species identifications and associated data are verified and correctly represented in the MSB electronic catalog; report discrepancies to SJRIP principal investigators. 3. Georeferenced collection sites for SJRIP collections; maintain license for ArcView and make collection data available to SJRIP researchers in that format. 4. Modification 003 will add staff to the team in order to accomplish the work load. Place of Performance All activities take place in the Division of Fishes, Museum of Southwestern Biology (MSB), on the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque, NM. The MSB division of Fishes has two offices, five computer workstation for data entry, a fully equipped laboratory for preparation of fish collections, and approximately 1,858 linear meters of compacted shelving for storage of cataloged collections.

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a cooperative agreement to California Department of Fish &amp;amp; Wildlife under the authority of Catalog for Domestic Financial Assistance (CFDA) 15.555, San Joaquin River Restoration Program (SJRRP), Public Law 111-11, San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement, Title X, Part I; Section 10002, Section 10004 (b)(1); Stipulation of Settlement CIV NO. S-88-1658-LKK/GGH (San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement)&amp;#8212;Paragraph 14(a). Estimated total amount of agreement is $640,203.00, with Reclamation providing $640,203.00 for Fiscal Year 2015. The purpose of this project is continued implementation of invasive vegetation monitoring and management activities, consistent with the Invasive Species Monitoring and Management Plan. The principal objectives to the project are to: (1) Develop and maintain a genetically diverse brood stock of spring and potentially fall run Chinook to support the restoration of Chinook salmon to self-sustaining levels; (2) produce targets set by the SJRRP to the maximum extent practicable given the limitations of tank space and water supply at the Interim Facility, until the full-scale Conservation Facility becomes operational; (3) produce juvenile spring-run and fall-run Chinook, with an emphasis on spring-run Chinook production, to support the restoration of Chinook salmon runs to self-sustaining levels; (4) support and provide research needs associated with restoring spring and/or fall run Chinook populations to self-sustaining levels. (Refer to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R15AN20008 for additional information) A Determination by the Government not to compete this proposed financial assistance based upon Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) &amp;amp; (4) is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. Questions concerning this announcement should be directed to Christina A. Mu&amp;#241;oz/Grants Management Specialist, by e-mail at cmunoz@usbr.gov. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage pilot research consistent with NIMH priorities for services research studies that are not immediate precursors to the development and testing of services interventions.While NIMH has moved to supporting all interventions research under FOAs that require use of an experimental therapeutics model, there is recognition that some important areas of mental health services research fall outside of that domain and have the potential to make significant contributions to advancing NIMH priorities and objectives.These areas include: 1) studies to identify mutable factors that impact access, utilization, quality, financing, outcomes including disparities in outcomes, or scalability of mental health services, which may serve as targets in future intervention development; 2) development and testing of new research tools, measures, or methods; or 3) testing the feasibility of integrating existing data sets to understand factors affecting access, quality or outcomes of care.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00281 Project Title Administrative History: John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site Recipient The Organization of American Historians Total Anticipated Award Amount &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;$74,937.39 Cost Share None Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature to 12/31/2017 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature to 12/31/2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.946 Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00289 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Organization of American Historians (OAH) for the purposes of promoting the greater public and private understanding of American history for their mutual benefit and for the people of the United States as well as for future generations, so that they can enjoy the historic resources of the NPS. The John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site preserves the birthplace of John F. Kennedy as his mother remembered it in 1966. John F. Kennedy was born at the home in 1917, and spent the first three and a half years of his life in the home before moving with his family to a larger home several blocks away. Kennedy spent the first 10 years of his life in Brookline, and it influenced his character. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The purpose of this study is to document the establishment and management of the park. Through this study of the park&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s management, the current management team hopes to gain a better understanding of how the NPS&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s management philosophy of the site has changed over time. In particular, the park seeks to gain insight into the perception of the value/purpose of the site as perceived by each management team, how the NPS has changed is presentation/interpretation of the home over time and the various preservation rationales applied to the home. By understanding how the home has been managed in the past, we hope to better understand the context and intent of prior decisions and make decisions for the future grounded in knowledge of past management practices. The public purpose and benefit of this project is to assist the park and its multiple Constituencies, partners, and stakeholders, and to understand the historical contexts for many of the resource stewardship and interpretive issues that continue to affect these partners and communities. The focus of the study is a detailed narrative analysis of the major events, activities and issues arising in the NPS stewardship of the property. The level of investigation should be &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;thorough,&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; entailing&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;as defined in NPS-28&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;research in selected documentary (primary and secondary) sources of known or presumed relevance that are readily accessible without extensive travel and that promise expeditious extraction of relevant data, interviewing all knowledgeable persons who are readily available, and presenting findings in no greater detail than required by the task directive. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT A. The OAH agrees to: a) Produce an Administrative History for John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site that documents the events associated with the establishment, management, as well as ongoing issues of managing and interpreting resources, as described in the attached scope of work [Attachment A]. b) Engage an appropriate scholar (or team of scholars) to undertake the work and act as the liaison between the NPS and the scholar(s); c) Work with NPS to develop a detailed scope of work, based on Attachment A of this task agreement, for the scholar(s) to follow in order to complete the Administrative History; d) Ensure that the manuscript is prepared as a scholarly report meeting the standards of the historical profession and the NPS through project management, including coordination of agency and peer review comments and provision of editorial services; e) Produce the final publication quality manuscript in pdf format for purposes of internet access, plus twenty-five (25) bound, color copies. f) Produce a two to three page case study on a key management issue identified by the project team. g) Make the report available to its membership, as well as the public more broadly, and promote the report within its professional networks so as to make the report as widely available as possible to scholars of American History, so that those scholars and teachers may use the report&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s findings in their teaching and writing, to the benefit of not only the scholarly community but students at many levels. h) Promote, to its membership and through its professional networks, any use by NPS of the report in its management and planning, so as to draw attention to its continued efforts to make the presentation and practice of American History within NPS as informed, current, and professional as possible, which is a core mission of the OAH. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT B. The NPS agrees to: a.) Work with the OAH to develop a detailed schedule for the scope of work, based on Attachment A of this task agreement, for the scholar to follow in order to complete the Administrative History. b.) Work with the OAH in selecting the scholar(s) to conduct the research; c.) Provide the scholar(s) with access to park records, reports and databases; familiarize the scholar with the park&amp;apos;s resources and facilities; and work with the scholar to select oral history interviewees as needed; d.) Review the progress of the research to ensure relevance and quality; e.) Distribute the report and make the research available to park managers and the general public for use in management and planning; Share and promote the completed Administrative History with related and relevant NPS units.

        <Description>The intent of these fuels reduction projects are to provide defensible space from wildland fires in and around communities on or adjacent to National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska. This cooperative agreement opportunity and its activities will assist in the mitigation of potential impacts of wildfire spread from National Wildlife Refuge System lands onto local community and private lands. Treatment areas are to be in the immediate vicinity of private homes and local businesses. Villages and communities eligible for this grant opportunity must have been identified by the State of Alaska and by the US Fish and Wildlife Service as a community at risk from wildland fires originating on private and public lands and be adjacent to or within the boundaries of a National Wildlife Refuge. Goals: 1. Create shaded fuels breaks and fire breaks in and around the community or private lands to mitigate potential fire spread into them from wildland fires originating on federal or other lands. 2. Promote a collaborative approach to community fire hazard reduction by educating local communities and homeowners in Firewise concepts and engaging them in the process of planning, and implementing fuels mitigation. 3. Enhance employment opportunities and encourage small business development through the use of local labor resources. This project will employ from 10 to 20 local personnel at the various locations. 4. Conduct treatment activities in a way that promotes the safety of fireline personnel and the public.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of State&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN) Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) is pleased to announce an open competition for assessing the effectiveness of ISN/CTR&amp;apos;s Chemical Security Program (CSP) through this Request for Proposals (RFP). ISN/CTR invites non-profit/non-governmental organizations and educational institutions to submit proposals that will assess the effectiveness of CSP engagements with three partner countries. CSP seeks to reduce global chemical threats by preventing unauthorized access to weaponizable chemicals, weapons-applicable expertise, and/or related infrastructure. This assessment will focus on CSP&amp;apos;s work in three countries including activities designed to engage key academic, industry, and government stakeholders. The three countries that are part of this examination represent advanced, intermediate, and introductory CSP partners, and this survey will be contacted remotely (email, phone, video teleconferencing, via local survey firms, etc), rather than through in-country visits. This analysis will provide program managers with solid empirical basis to assess CSP&amp;apos;s effectiveness. ISN/CTR has up to $215,000 available to award one cooperative agreement in this field. While not a decisive factor, to ensure an unbiased assessment of its programming, ISN/CTR prefers proposals submitted by individuals or organizations which are not currently involved in implementing nonproliferation engagement activities on behalf of ISN/CTR.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to develop short-term surrogate tests that provide a comprehensive measure of resilience in animal models of aging. Applicants may also include aims to assess resilience in humans to identical or analogous stressors to those proposed for their animal model studies. Resilience is defined here as the ability of an organism to adequately respond to physical or molecular challenges or stresses. Greater resilience has been hypothesized to correlate with longevity and better healthspan, but appropriate methodology to test this in animal models is currently lacking. The purpose of this FOA is to develop tests that can be used to measure resilience to physical or molecular stresses, but does not include psychological or social stressors. The outcomes should lead to short-term tests of resilience that are predictive of subsequent health. In the context of animal studies, this predictability should be tested against manipulations known to increase lifespan and healthspan. </Description>

        <Description>The Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)&amp;#8217;s institutional capacity remains extremely weak and the inability of many state institutions to provide services contributes to the state&amp;#8217;s fragility and has created governmental legitimacy issues in the eyes of citizens. Despite the end of the DRC&amp;#8217;s civil war, communities continue to suffer from decades of war, mismanagement, and instability, with rebel groups still controlling strategic areas, despite the country hosting the longest-running UN peacekeeping mission in the world. The country has experienced mass atrocities, human rights abuses, and widespread sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). The United States Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), is seeking applications from qualified Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Educational Institutions and other qualified organizations for a cooperative agreement to implement a program entitled &amp;#8220;Access to Justice for Sexual and Gender Based Violence Survivors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo&amp;#8221;.</Description>

        <Description>By leveraging resources and strategically targeting science to inform conservation decisions and actions, Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) create a network of partners working in unison to ensure the sustainability of America&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s land, water, wildlife and cultural resources. Facilitated by the Department of the Interior (DOI) as part of its collaborative, science-based response to climate change, each of the 22 LCCs operates within a specific landscape, covering the entire United States. Defined based on ecological boundaries, the LCCs also include portions of Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Pacific Islands. Partners include federal, state, and local governments, tribes, universities, nongovernmental organizations, landowners, and other stakeholders. These landscape-scale, conservation science partnerships support and enhance on-the-ground conservation efforts by facilitating the production and dissemination of applied science products for resource management decisions.</Description>

        <Description>This project represents a joint federal-university partnership of support for research, as intended by the CESU program. In this project, federal and university partners will be co-Principal Investigators on a project designed to promote better understanding of an environmental problem in Cape Krusenstem National Monument, Alaska. This differs considerably from a contract in that: a) both federal and university partners are highly involved in the development of the research, and 2) a land grant university receives research dollars that allow them to retain associate professors who continue the university&amp;apos;s purpose of serving public research needs. Without these research dollars, many staff such as Dr. Shiel would not be able to be retained and the services to the public would thus be lost.</Description>

        <Description>The NIH Office of the Director announces the availability of administrative supplements to expand existing research to focus on Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) health. SGM populations include, but are not limited to, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, and individuals with differences or disorders of sexual development (sometimes referred to as intersex or as specific diagnoses). This trans-NIH effort, which involves multiple Institutes, Centers and Offices from across NIH, is intended to encourage investigation in this underrepresented growing field of research. To increase our collective understanding of the broad range of the health needs of SGM populations, the supplement will focus on areas of specific research interest beyond HIV/AIDS, including, but not limited to: studies on increased disease risk; behavioral and social health; approaches to personalized medicine; access to care; reproductive and sexual development; and resilience. </Description>

        <Description>National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them. These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation. This Task Agreement focuses on planning, administration, marketing, enhancement and demonstration projects that are identified in the management plan for the CALA and serve a public purpose under P.L. 111-11. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), Midwest Region, intends to issue a Single Source Grant Agreement Award without competition to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to support a project investigating the balance between aquatic barrier removal and lampricide application as combined invasive sea lamprey control methods. This project work will advance the understanding of the biological and economic implications and tradeoffs of controlling invasive sea lamprey across the Great Lakes basin via barriers and chemical treatments. The work is a continuation and expansion of a previously supported project by the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes Landscape Conservation Cooperative (UMGL LCC) titled, &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Optimizing connectivity in the Great Lakes basin to restore native fish migrations while controlling invasive species.&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;</Description>

Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Objective: To create additional training opportunities for qualified students. Interns will assist Federal government professionals involved in historic preservation and allied fields such as archeology, history, museum management and landscape architecture, in directed assignments focusing on Federal efforts in cultural resources management and protection. Duties may include archeological, architectural or landscape surveys; historical research and resource documentation; technical writing and publication development; artifact and records cataloging, conservation and management; database and Web page creation and maintenance; and hands-on condition assessment and repair of historic structures. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Sixteen internships with the Interior Museum Program. These training opportunities will allow the interns to learn about and participate in a national historic preservation program by working directly with Federal cultural resource professionals on the projects: 1. Use the existing format to recruit and select additional trainees, or, in limited circumstances, extend existing training projects, for the program currently being offered. Every effort will be made to match the candidates&amp;apos; qualifications with NPS needs. 2. Make financial and technical arrangements for the additional trainees to work in Washington, DC and other locations as necessary. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT 1. Assist with selection of prospective interns, as identified by NCPE, based on qualifications. 2. Provide a project mentor, materials, specialized tools and training, and related supplies for completion of the internship project. 3. Work with interns in conduct of the internship, assigning tasks, based upon each trainee&amp;apos;s interest, knowledge and skills, providing guidance and direction as needed for completion of duties, and reviewing work products to ensure they meet the goals of the internship. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award.

        <Description>Community Compass is HUD&amp;#8217;s integrated technical assistance and capacity building initiative that helps communities navigate complex housing and community development challenges by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, tools, capacity, and systems to implement HUD programs and policies successfully. Community Compass funds technical assistance, capacity building, and data analysis activities for HUD&amp;#8217;s customers, including grantees, public housing authorities, and tribes. Recognizing that HUD&amp;#8217;s customers often interact with a variety of HUD programs as they deliver housing or community development services, Community Compass brings together technical assistance investments from across HUD program offices, including, but not limited to, the offices of Community Planning and Development, Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Housing, and Public and Indian Housing. The selection process under this NOFA may include providers with a broad range of skills and expertise as well as providers with more targeted skills and expertise. Applicants are encouraged to procure subcontractors and consultants to build a team with expertise in a range of HUD program and policy areas. Selected providers may work collaboratively in teams and will be deployed as HUD deems most necessary across the country to achieve these objectives. HUD does not provide funding to nor does it accept applications from individuals for this or any NOFA competition. Questions on this NOFA may be directed to communitycompass@hud.gov.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for Centers of Research Translation (CORT). Overall, a CORT research program could be carried out by a synergistic team of scientists who will address a highly significant translational research challenge in a disease or condition within the mission of the NIAMS. The focus of research could be either 1) a disease-targeted translational theme addressed by synergistic Research Projects with optional Research Cores; or 2) a disease-related critical translational research question addressed through a single collaborative Research Project enabled by a number of highly interactive Research Cores whose work is integrated over time during the development and implementation of the Project. A CORT must have a minimum of three highly meritorious research components consisting of one or more translational Research Projects and one or more Research Cores. An Administrative Core is required in all applications. To facilitate a team science approach, the lead investigators of the research components must be drawn from relevant and, as appropriate, different research disciplines, and may be based in different departments, divisions, and/or institutions. Combined, the projects and cores will generate new knowledge that will improve our understanding of human pathophysiology, and lead to identification of new targets, other tangible products or deliverables and development of more effective treatment, diagnostic or prevention strategies for human disease. </Description>

        <Description>By leveraging resources and strategically targeting science to inform conservation decisions and actions, Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) create a network of partners working in unison to ensure the sustainability of America&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s land, water, wildlife and cultural resources. Facilitated by the Department of the Interior (DOI) as part of its collaborative, science-based response to climate change, each of the 22 LCCs operates within a specific landscape, covering the entire United States. Defined based on ecological boundaries, the LCCs also include portions of Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Pacific Islands. Partners include federal, state, and local governments, tribes, universities, nongovernmental organizations, landowners, and other stakeholders. These landscape-scale, conservation science partnerships support and enhance on-the-ground conservation efforts by facilitating the production and dissemination of applied science products for resource management decisions.</Description>

        <Description>The Clean Vessel Act of 1992 was signed November 4, 1992 (106 Stat. 5039) and codified in 33 U.S.C. 1322. The Act amended the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act (Wallop-Breaux Act; 16 U.S.C. 777) and established the Clean Vessel Act Grant Program to provide funding to the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories of the United States of America (States). Funding allows States to construct, renovate, operate, and maintain pumpout stations and waste reception facilities for recreational boaters and to inform boaters about the use, benefits, and availability of pumpout stations and waste reception facilities. Subsequent reauthorizations of the Acts have allowed for the continuation of CVA. Additional information about the CVA is available at: http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/CVA/CVA.htm.</Description>

        <Description>Enhancing the Capacity of Anti-Trafficking Detection Dog Programs Detection dogs are increasingly relevant to wildlife security efforts in Africa. Detection dogs have the ability to identify illegal wildlife products and improve overall law enforcement effectiveness. Although new detection dog programs are expanding, many programs suffer from lack of knowledge and capacity to effectively develop the program over time. Common challenges for detection dog programs include lack of consistent and quality training, poor veterinary capability, environmental hazards, and lack of general husbandry. The Service will support efforts to enhance the capacity of detection dog programs in Africa. This opportunity is designed to support conservation activities related to building capacity of sniffer dog programs through training, information-sharing, and cross-country exchanges.</Description>

        <Description>*** THIS IS A NOTICE OF SINGLE SOURCE AWARD-THIS IS NOT A RFP*** A one-time funding of $40,000 to repair a fish exclusion structure in Bear Wallow Creek, East Central Arizona. Apache Trout, one of two trout species native to Arizona is Federally listed as threatened. Apache trout is a sought after and popular sportfish in Arizona and management has included providing angling opportunity in select streams in historic habitat. A principal threat is predation and hybridization by nonnative trout. Successful management of this threat has been through isolation of trout populations via fish exclusion structures (aka fish barriers) placed in the streams to preclude upstream movement of fish.</Description>

Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. The purpose of this agreement is to provide training for staff in the State Historic Preservation Offices who review rehabilitation projects seeking certification for federal tax credits. This will include provision of a hotel for lodging the state reviewers and holding classroom sessions and some reimbursement to state reviewers for their transportation. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN By partnering with NCSHPO, NPS will be able to provide training to facilitate the effective participation of the states in the administration of the federal tax incentives program. Bringing all the states together allows for interaction that enhances the continuity of their interpretation of the program regulations. The SHPO staff review rehabilitation projects seeking certification for federal tax credits and their understanding of the program regulations is imperative to the success of the program The rehabilitation tax credit program provides a 20 percent tax credit to property owners who undertake a substantial rehabilitation of a historic building in a business or income-producing use, while maintaining its historic character. Across the country, the program has helped revive abandoned or underutilized schools, warehouses, factories, churches, retail stores, apartments, hotels, houses, agricultural buildings and offices, and, in turn, help support the redevelopment of entire downtowns and neighborhoods. It also supports community revitalization, job creation, affordable housing, small businesses, farms and Main Street development, among other economic benefits. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT NCSHPOS agrees to: 1. Provide classroom space and equipment to facilitate presentations and interactive workshop activities for 3 days. 2. Provide hotel lodging for state participants designated by NPS for up to 3 nights (an additional night for a few where required by distance and available schedules). 3. Reimburse state participants for transportation from their city of residence to (Baltimore/Washington) in amounts determined by NPS. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS agrees to: 1. Provide programing in the form of presentations, workshop material and staffing for the 3 days of training. 2. Provide list of state reviewers for whom lodging and transportation reimbursement are to be provided. 3. Work with NCSHPO to determine the appropriate travel reimbursement expenses for each designated recipient.

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AC00307 Project Title Centennial Bioblitz Data Management Support - Phase One Recipient California Academy of Sciences Total Anticipated Award Amount $70,000.00 Cost Share $68,000.00 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature to 12/31/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature to 12/31/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.944 Natural Resource Stewardship Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC01168 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and California Academy of Sciences (Academy) for the purpose of implementing a program to engage in cooperating activities focused on promoting scientific research, fostering a greater understanding of species distribution and the communities they form, and improving ecological inventory and education related to NPS lands. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. The NPS is at a crossroads as it prepares for the Bureau&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s second century and seizing on the opportunity to focus on a strategic integration of our national parks and community-based programs. These efforts will better leverage our resources and engage the full-range of the American public and citizen scientists to learn more about and contribute to our stewardship mission. Through the &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Go Digital&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; initiatives of the NPS, the NPS digital experience will bring our online presence more fully into the 21st century not only for accurate information, but for compelling knowledge and extended reach for community-based and youth programs. Unfortunately, the NPS lacks specific technical expertise and information technology systems to address many of the pressing data management issues to achieve the goals of the Centennial Bioblitz. Specific examples of needs for research include analysis of non-native species distribution, threatened and endangered species occurrences, phenological development of organisms, and changes in species distribution in the face of climate change. The Academy develops and maintains iNaturalist, an interactive internet data platform already used by universities, agencies, and members of the public across the globe to address many of these challenges. Integration of NPS and existing Academy data will enrich the value of a widely used research, education, and data storage web portal. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN This partnership will allow NPS and Academy to collaboratively enrich research and education opportunities to the public. Efforts will result in a rich set of mobile and web-based tools for citizen scientists of all ages and researchers to contribute to the NPS&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; knowledge of park biodiversity. The task agreement identifies a series of tasks that will be accomplished cooperatively by the NPS and Academy to fulfill data management needs of the upcoming Centennial Bioblitz effort. With the implementation of these mutually developed tools and procedures, a much wider segment of the general population will be empowered to contribute information to the Centennial Bioblitz and future efforts. Students and the general public will be able to submit observations they make opportunistically or as part of structured inventories during park events. Scientists with specific knowledge of lesser-known species recruited for the Bioblitz will also be able to contribute their expertise and use iNaturalist as part of focused inventory efforts. Overall, the ease-of-use coupled with the scientific rigor of iNaturalist tools will expand the volume and quality of publicly-contributed information and result in a suite of functionality that can be used into the future not only by the NPS but also in other similar biodiversity discovery efforts. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Academy agrees to: 1. Collaboratively undertake a project entitled &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Centennial Bioblitz Data Management Support &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Phase One&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;. The project involves providing expertise and assistance with designing data management functionality for the NPS Centennial Bioblitz. 2. Provide support for loading of NPS data into their iNaturalist natural history observation system, including boundaries of NPS administrative units and checklists of species that occur therein. 3. Safeguard any sensitive information that may be provided. 4. Develop web-based visualizations based on NPS Centennial Bioblitz observations recorded in their iNaturalist natural history observation system that display: a. Summary statistics across affiliated NPS Bioblitz projects. b. Highlighted species observations that are deemed to be of particular interest by NPS Natural Resources (NR) staff. c. Slides that display the final tallies by taxonomic category for select NPS Bioblitz projects and highlight observations of particular interest (as defined by NPS NR staff). d. Customized visual interface that allows users to optionally view projects by place and observations by taxonomic group. 5. Configuration tools for future use of visualization functionality to include: a. Ability to easily add/remove projects and taxonomic groups from displays b. Dynamic layout tools to adjust output for presentations c. Documentation on use 6. Deliver reports as specified in Article VII of the Agreement. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS agrees to: 1. Collaboratively undertake the Project as described throughout this Article III Statement of Work. 2. Provide financial assistance to the Academy as provided for in Article VI of this Agreement. 3. Provide digital geospatial data for all NPS administrative unit boundaries from best-available source. 4. Deliver digital species checklists for identified subset of NPS units, including flags for species of concern that warrant safeguarding of location information. 5. Provide digital checklist of species of interest to support reporting requirements. 6. Provide clear specifications for desired web-based visualizations. 7. Deliver existing iNaturalist usage documentation and training materials. 8. Document development requirements for desired application functionality. 9. Coordinate IT requirements with NPS web team for incorporation of visualization in nps.gov web pages. 10. Deliver initial set of priorities and deadlines to meet objectives of task agreement. NPS and the Academy mutually agree to: 1. Perform research, monitoring, and educational programs consistent with the work as described in this Task Agreement. 2. Be substantially involved in all phases of planning, research, coordination, and publication and/or dissemination of final results. 3. Ensure all iNaturalist Bioblitz projects are created in advance of Centennial event so tallies can be generated for NPS units affiliated with the effort. 4. Engage diverse user communities to participate as digital docents so tools are adopted by students and scientists involved in structured inventory efforts. 5. Maintain frequent communications on status of project, to discuss progress and priorities. 6. Identify a viable collaborative project management tool for transparently communicating progress to Bioblitz core management team and stakeholders.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) aims to support research grants focused on rigorous effectiveness testing of innovative services interventions that demonstrably reduce the prevalence and magnitude of common health risk factors related to shortened lifespan in youth with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and young adults with severe mental illness. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, smoking, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, low physical activity, substance use, poor fitness and diet. This FOA aims to generate the service delivery knowledge necessary to achieve 100% screening of this population for common, cardiometabolic risks and 100% referral to appropriate care to manage the identified risks. This FOA aims to support population-based approaches to prevention, identification and intervention, i.e., targeting cardiometabolic risk in entire populations of youth with SED and/or young adults with SMI within a given community or healthcare setting.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of Energy&amp;#8217;s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) conducts crosscutting nuclear energy research and development (R&amp;amp;D) and associated infrastructure support activities to develop innovative technologies that offer the promise of dramatically improved performance for advanced reactors and fuel cycle concepts while maximizing the impact of DOE resources.The development of nuclear energy-related infrastructure and basic capabilities in the research community is necessary to promote R&amp;amp;D that supports nuclear science and engineering (NS&amp;amp;E), DOE-NE&amp;#8217;s mission, and the Nation&amp;#8217;s nuclear energy challenges. Accordingly, DOE intends to enable the education and training of nuclear scientists, engineers, and policy-makers in graduate and undergraduate study and two-year programs, as well as R&amp;amp;D that is relevant to the Department and the nuclear energy industry in general.The Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) utilizes up to 20 percent of funds appropriated to NE&amp;#8217;s R&amp;amp;D program for university-based infrastructure support and R&amp;amp;D in key NE program-related areas: &amp;#8226; Fuel Cycle Research and Development(FCR&amp;amp;D)&amp;#8226; Reactor Concepts Research&amp;#8226; Development and Demonstration (RCRD&amp;amp;D)&amp;#8226; Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS). Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies Crosscutting Technology Development (NEET CTD) supports national laboratory, university and industry led crosscutting research and national laboratory infrastructure support.The infrastructure requested should be individual, discrete, and definable items or capabilities that will support, maintain, or enhance the institutions&amp;#8217; capacities to attract and teach high quality students interested in nuclear energy-related studies; build the institutions&amp;#8217; research or education capabilities; or enhance the institutions&amp;#8217; capabilities to perform R&amp;amp;D that is relevant to DOE-NE&amp;#8217;s mission.NE reserves the right to respond to potential shifts in priorities during FY 2016 that may be driven by events, policy developments, or Congressional/budget direction. NE will factor such considerations into decisions related to the timing and scale of award announcements associated with this FOA.</Description>

        <Description>DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of resilient defenses against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on computer networks. The XD3 program aims to thwart DDoS attacks by dispersing cyber assets (physically and/or logically), disguising the characteristics and behaviors of those assets, and mitigating the attacks (especially low&amp;#8208;volume attacks) that still penetrate the targeted environment. For further details see attached PDF, &amp;quot;DARPA-BAA-15-56 (XD3 BAA)&amp;quot; Amendment 1: The purpose of this amendment is to extend the Proposers Day registration deadline to August 28, 2015, and to clarify for those proposing against Technical Area 5 to include the Security POC on the cover sheet of the Volume 1 proposal. For further details see attached PDF, &amp;quot;DARPA-BAA-15-56 (XD3 BAA) Amendment 1&amp;quot; as the changes are highlighted in yellow. Amendment 2: The purpose of amendment 2 is to update the dollar threshold amounts for the requirement of certified cost or pricing data and subcontracting plan. See attached PDF, &amp;quot;DARPA-BAA-15-56 (XD3 BAA) Amendment 0002,&amp;quot; for further details as the changes are highlighted in yellow.</Description>

        <Description>The proposed 2015 Financial Assistance Agreement will fund projects the development of projects identified in the Westside Regional Drainage Plan (WRDP) that will manage and reduce salinity in the lower San Joaquin River and improve fish and wildlife habitat there and in adjacent wetlands and refuges. The federal investment since 2002 has provided the recipient with a sustainable system to control and reduce agricultural drainwater discharged from Grasslands Drainage Area. Federal funds will be used for personnel costs, design and construction of four pumping plants and associated pipelines, design and construct an equipment storage building, convert up to 13 miles of dirt roads to all-weather roads, planting up to 572 acres of salt tolerant crops, and fill-in 1.8 miles of unneeded drainage ditch. The implementation of the WRDP has resulted in significant reductions in the volume of agricultural drainwater discharged to the San Joaquin River. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT As a benefit to the public the Recipient will fund projects which will result in significant improvements in water quality in the San Joaquin River and adjacent wetlands. The ongoing federal investment in the Westside Regional Drainage Plan (WRDP) has helped provide a sustainable system to control and reduce agricultural drainage by the recipient, improve downstream water quality, and sustain agricultural production in the Grasslands Drainage Area. The recipient has displaced 192,000 acre-feet of agricultural drainwater that contained more than 997,300 tons of salts and 39,700 pounds of selenium, contaminants that otherwise would have been discharged to the San Joaquin River. This in turn creates a cleaner river and adjacent wetlands significantly improving public lands. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based on the following criteria: Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity. The federal government has invested over $39 million in projects with the Recipient to control agricultural drainage water and manage salinity in the San Joaquin River. The Recipient has been successful in meeting selenium and salinity load targets due to this federal investment. The 2015 proposal is a continuation of similar projects funded since 2009. Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications. The Recipient is the public entity that is responsible for providing drainage service to farmers in the Grassland Drainage Area. The Recipient owns and operates local drainwater management facilities including more than 6,000 acres of land where agricultural drainwater is displaced to irrigate salt-tolerant crops.

        <Description>OVERVIEW The Watershed Rehabilitation and Sediment Control Project was identified through a public solicitation process and selected and approved by the Trinity River Watershed Council and the Trinity River Restoration Watershed Workgroup. The Watershed Rehabilitation and Sediment Control Project involves the modification to the implement designated watershed restoration projects to implement watershed rehabilitation and sediment source control for projects identified and approved by the Trinity River Watershed Council. The implementation of an agency coordination objective and six additional projects are needed to improve aquatic habitat conditions by controlling fine sediment delivery within the watershed to the Trinity River, and enhancement of fish passage by the removal of fish passage barriers within the watershed. The additional work will be accomplished by revising the existing statement of work to the agreement, so it captures all the needed work and addresses problems with high sediment production. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Under the modification to the Agreement, the recipient agrees to carry out the revised statement of work to the basic agreement. This revised statement of work adds a project selection objective which will enable the recipient to coordinate, prioritize, and implement watershed restoration efforts that support Trinity River Restoration Project goals and objectives. This will be done through interactions with Trinity River natural resource agencies and organizations participating in the Watershed Council. Also, the revised statement of work also adds the following restoration projects: a) Grass Valley Creek-Anadromous Pacific Lamprey: Sediment Management and Connectivity b) Valdor, Upper and Lower Roads Sediment Reduction Implementation c) Oregon Street Sediment Reduction Implementation Project d) Trinity River Watershed Road Upgrade and Decommission Project e) Weaver Creek Private Roads Sediment Assessment f) Conner Creek Mouth Fish Passage Enhancement Project RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION This agreement, R12AP20020, is a multi-year agreement, where projects within watersheds have been prioritized. Therefore it is critical that work within identified watersheds is performed in the proper sequence to obtain both maximum restoration and cost benefits. Work performed out of sequence or by another organization not aware of current work could significantly impact previous work and nullify previously completed restoration work. Other groups or organizations will not know where previously completed restoration work was completed and left off. Multi-year agreements have been developed with both public and private landowners, which other groups may or may not be able to obtain, or obtain in a timely fashion to allow for continuity in project implementation. (4) UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS The Recipient is a non-profit organization with staff personnel and equipment suited for watershed restoration activities. Their influence and relationship with the local community and contractors allows them to perform work in areas where other agencies or groups could not, and obtain and deploy the necessary resources to complete sophisticated watershed restoration projects by using their own, local, or a combination of both, their own and local resources as projects require. The Recipient has staffed project coordinators, managers, biologists, technicians, operators, and laborers with significant local knowledge and watershed restoration experience which is applied to restoration activities. Their significant knowledge, influence, and community presence has enabled them to develop agreements with both private and public organizations that would otherwise prevent access to significantly impaired watershed areas in need of restoration. Single Source Justification Description: STATUTORY AUTHORITY Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Public Law 102-575: 3402. Purposes The purposes of this title shall be: (a) To protect, restore, and enhance fish, wildlife, and associated habitats in the Central Valley and Trinity River basins of California; (b) To address impacts of the Central Valley Project on fish, wildlife and associated habitats; (c) To improve the operational flexibility of the Central Valley Project; (d) To increase water-related benefits provided by the Central Valley Project to the State of California through expanded use of voluntary water transfers and improved water conservation; (e) To contribute to the State of California&amp;apos;s interim and long-term efforts to protect the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary; (f) To achieve a reasonable balance among competing demands for use of Central Valley Project water, including the requirements of fish and wildlife, agricultural, municipal and industrial and power contractors. and 3406.

        <Description>The goal of the Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development Program (IPCAVD) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to facilitate the translation of sufficiently advanced, innovative and promising vaccine candidates into early clinical testing. The IPCAVD program is designed to enable a multi-disciplinary team of investigators to complete all steps necessary from down-selection of a vaccine candidate through CGMP manufacture/testing/product release and into clinical trials.A preclinical research application alone is not sufficient for this announcement.Awards will provide the critical resources to allow the advancement of vaccine concepts to clinical trials within the project period of the award.However, this funding opportunity will not provide funds for conducting the clinical studies; applicants are encouraged to collaborate with NIAID-supported clinical trial networks or to develop other relationships to support the clinical studies. Investigators are expected to begin clinical studies by the end of the award.</Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW In 1988, the San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust was formed due to concern over the loss of San Joaquin Valley wetlands and river resources. Awareness of the need for comprehensive planning for resource management led to state legislative action. The State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 3121 in 1990, authorizing funds for the San Joaquin River Parkway Taskforce. Subsequent legislation established the San Joaquin River Conservancy (Conservancy) a regionally-governed State agency with the mission of acquiring land and developing, operating, and managing those lands for public access and recreation; and protecting, enhancing, and restoring riparian and floodplain habitat. Several reclaimed gravel pits created by historic mining operations along the San Joaquin River are located in the Conservancy&amp;#8217;s planning area. Many of these gravel pits are separated from each other and from the river by earthen berms. These earthen berms are not levees constructed to Federal or state flood control standards, and tend to fail during high flow events. In 2005, high flows breached the earthen berm that previously separated the gravel pit 46e pond and river channel and provided vehicle access road between two Conservancy-owned properties: the Proctor Broadwell Cobb property and Sycamore Island property. The Conservancy&amp;#8217;s Board of Directors approved a plan for Department of Water Resources (DWR) to perform all planning, design, environmental compliance and construction work associated with restoring access to the properties with an equalization saddle/gravel road for emergency and management access, emergency egress, and a public trail, as well as strengthening the existing berm to withstand erosion and flooding in more frequent flow events and creating floodplain habitat. Funding for a portion of the work was provided by the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB). In 2012, DWR designated Pit 46e as one of the highest priority gravel pits in Reach 1 to be filled and/or isolated as required Settlement Paragraph 11(b) (3). The saddle/gravel road will serve as a permeable isolation barrier for fish between the gravel pit and river channel and provide flows to support habitat restoration. The project would be constructed near River Mile (RM) 253.5 on the right bank of the San Joaquin River approximately 1.6 miles downstream of the State Route (SR) 41 Bridge in Madera County and on the left bank of the river in Fresno County. The project and all features are located within state property. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT California Department of Water Resources agrees to: &amp;#8226; Isolate a priority gravel pit from the river channel at flows below 8,000 cfs, which would benefit water quality (temperature) and salmon migration by minimizing potential for fish impingement and stranding &amp;#8226; Minimize berm failure potential &amp;#8226; Provide additional floodplain habitat and space for riparian vegetation &amp;#8226; Provide salmon rearing habitat on the new floodplain area &amp;#8226; Eliminate predator habitat by filling in-stream gravel pit area RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS Single Source Justification Description: The Conservancy lacks the personnel and expertise to complete this project and funded a contract with DWR to perform design, environmental analysis and permitting, and construction to repair the breeched berm at Pit 46e. To date, DWR has completed preliminary design analyses of possible alternatives and has initiated California Environmental Quality Act review. DWR is uniquely qualified to perform the work described above based on past experience, technical expertise on water- and flood-related facilities design and construction, and property control. DWR has completed hydrology modeling and geotechnical analysis of Reach 1, making them experts in critical engineering aspects unique to the site, including geology, hydrology, channel morphology. No other entity could achieve a similar level of familiarity and expertise without first engaging in the lengthy process of studying and analyzing the data collected to date. Property access is controlled by the Conservancy/DWR. No other entity has access to the properties, which may create challenges in collecting information and meeting the project schedule. STATUTORY AUTHORITY Public Law 111-11, San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement, Title X, Part I, Section 10002, Section 10004 (b)(1); Stipulation of Settlement CIV NO. S-88-1658-LKK/GGH (San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement) - Paragraph 11(b)(3): SEC. 10002. PURPOSE The purpose of this part is to authorize implementation of the Settlement. SEC. 10004. IMPLEMENTATION OF SETTLEMENT. (b) AGREEMENTS&amp;#8212; (1) AGREEMENTS WITH THE STATE.&amp;#8212;In order to facilitate or expedite implementation of the Settlement, the Secretary and is authorized and directed to enter into appropriate agreements, including cost-sharing agreements, with the State of California. STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT CIV NO. S-88-1658 &amp;#8211; LKK/GGH&amp;#8212;PARAGRAPH 11(B)(3) Paragraph 11(b) (3) Filling and/or isolating the highest priority gravel pits in Reach 1 (such &amp;#8220;highest priority gravel pits&amp;#8221; shall be determined by the Secretary, in consultation with the Restoration Administrator, based on the relative potential for reducing juvenile salmon mortality) </Description>

        <Description>Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants will enable communities to create a comprehensive plan to transform public and/or assisted housing within a distressed neighborhood. To achieve the program&amp;#146;s core goals, communities must develop and implement a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy, or &amp;#147;Transformation Plan.&amp;#148; This Transformation Plan will become the guiding document for the revitalization of the public and/or assisted housing units, while simultaneously directing the transformation of the surrounding neighborhood and positive outcomes for families. The three core goals of the Choice Neighborhoods program are: 1. Housing: Transform distressed public and assisted housing into energy efficient, mixed-income housing that is physically and financially viable over the long-term; 2. People: Support positive outcomes for families who live in the target development(s) and the surrounding neighborhood, particularly outcomes related to residents&amp;#146; health, safety, employment, mobility, and education; and 3. Neighborhood: Transform distressed, high-poverty neighborhoods into viable, mixed-income neighborhoods with access to well-functioning services, high quality public schools and education programs, high quality early learning programs and services, public assets, public transportation, and improved access to jobs. </Description>

        <Description>Pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (FAA), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) requests applications from qualified and eligible organizations to manage and implement the TRANSFORM/PRIMARY HEALTH CARE UNIT (PHCU) as described in Section I of this RFA. The overall goal of the program is to support the Government of Ethiopia (GOE) through the implementation of its new Health Sector Transformation Plan (HSTP) to End Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths (EPCMD). This RFA is issued in accordance with the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and the Grants and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977. This is a full and open competition, under which any type of organization, large or small, commercial (for profit) firms, faith-based, and non-profit organizations in partnerships or consortia from geographical code 935, are eligible to compete. In accordance with the Federal Grants and Cooperative Agreement Act, USAID encourages competition in order to identify and fund the best possible applications to achieve its program objectives. While for-profit firms may participate, pursuant to 22 CFR 226.81, it is USAID policy not to award profit under assistance instruments such as cooperative agreements. However, all reasonable, allocable, and allowable expenses, both direct and indirect, which are related to the grant program and are in accordance with applicable cost standards (22 CFR 226, OMB Circular A-122 for non-profit organization, OMB Circular A-21 for universities, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 for-profit organizations), may be paid under the Cooperative Agreement. Using a &amp;#8220;Design and Implement&amp;#8221; approach, USAID anticipates issuing one mission-specific Leader Award under a Leader with Associates (LWA) arrangement. An LWA arrangement involves the issuance of a grant or cooperative agreement (&amp;#8221;Leader Award&amp;#8221;) that covers a specified regional activity. The Leader Award includes language that allows the USAID Mission to award a separate grant or cooperative agreement to the recipient of the Leader Award without additional competition and which supports a distinct technical, local, or regional activity that fits within the terms and scope of the Leader Award. This is called an &amp;#8220;Associate Award.&amp;#8221; The competition under this RFA covers both the Leader Award and all subsequent Associate Awards, although applications submitted in response to this RFA are related to the activity to be supported under the Leader Award only. Separate applications specific to each Associate Award will be submitted after the Leader Award is in place, if and when a USAID Mission or other USAID operating unit decides to finance an Associate Award. This RFA consists of this cover letter and the following sections and attachments: SECTION I FUNDING OPPORTUNITY/PROGRAM DESCRIPTION SECTION II. AWARD INFORMATION SECTION III. ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION SECTION IV. APPLICATION AND SUBMISSION INFORMATION SECTION V. APPLICATION REVIEW INFORMATION SECTION VI. AWARD ADMINISTRATION INFORMATION SECTION VIII. OTHER INFORMATION (Certificates and Annexes) It is expected that the estimated USAID contributions for the TRANSFORM/PRIMARY HEALTH CARE UNIT (PHCU) project will not exceed $120 million for the five-year period beginning not later than March 2016, of which the Leader Award will be up to $72 million and the cumulative amount of Associate Awards issued during those five years will not exceed $48 million. The Associate Award figures are estimates, and there is no guarantee regarding the number of Associate Awards or the amount(s) thereof. Associate Awards may be for up to five years in duration and, while they must be awarded during the period of the Leader Award, may extend beyond the end of the Leader Award. The Leader Award is expected to be made between January and February 2016. Cost-sharing (matching) of 10% is required under this RFA. USAID encourages cost-sharing to the maximum practicable extent, and any proposed cost-sharing (matching) will be assessed by USAID as part of determining which applications offer the greatest value. See Section III of the RFA for additional information on cost-sharing (matching). Government of Ethiopia (GOE) law requires prior registration of a foreign or local organization in order to implement programs or conduct any business in Ethiopia. Any Apparently Successful Applicant must provide a copy of the certification of registration and license from the appropriate Ministry/Agency of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) prior to the start of implementation of the program. Local registration is not a requirement at the time of application, but it is required prior to the award of the Agreement. An applicant under consideration for an award that has never received funding from USAID will be subject to a pre-award audit to determine fiscal responsibility, ensure adequacy of financial controls and establish an indirect cost rate. Award will be made to the responsible applicant whose application best meets the requirements of this RFA and the selection criteria contained herein. Issuance of this RFA does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the Government, nor does it commit the Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of an application. In addition, final award of any resultant agreement cannot be made until funds have been fully appropriated, allocated, and committed through internal USAID procedures. While it is anticipated that these procedures will be successfully completed, potential applicants are hereby notified of these requirements and conditions for award. The award resulting from this RFA will be administered in accordance with 22 CFR 226, Chapter 303 of USAID&amp;apos;s Automated Directives System (ADS-303), relevant U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars, and the USAID standard provisions for U.S. and Non-US Non Governmental Organizations. Further details and internet links may be found in Section VI of the RFA. This RFA and any future amendments can be downloaded from the website http://www.grants.gov. Select &amp;#8220;Find Grant Opportunities,&amp;#8221; then click on &amp;#8220;Browse by Agency,&amp;#8221; and select the &amp;#8220;U.S. Agency for International Development&amp;#8221; and search for the RFA. In order to use this method, an applicant must first register on-line with Grants.gov. If you have difficulty registering or accessing the RFA, please contact the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-472 or via e-mail at support@grants.gov for technical assistance. USAID will host a Pre-Application Conference to address the questions regarding this RFA at the American Embassy in Ethiopia on the date indicated at the top of this Cover Letter. This conference is open to all potential applicants. While in-person attendance is highly encouraged, USAID will upload a transcript of the proceedings to the Grants.gov site. Any questions concerning this RFA should be submitted in writing to Tsegereda Gebremedhin via email at tgebremedhin@usaid.gov with a copy to caddis@usaid.gov by the Clarification Questions Deadline indicated at the top of this Cover Letter. Questions sent to any other e-mail address will not be responded to. The e-mail transmitting the questions must reference the RFA number and title on the subject line of the e-mail. All questions must be submitted in writing in advance For the purposes of this RFA, the term &amp;quot;Grant&amp;quot; is synonymous with &amp;quot;Cooperative Agreement&amp;quot;; &amp;quot;Grantee&amp;quot; is synonymous with &amp;quot;Recipient&amp;quot;; and &amp;quot;Grant Officer&amp;quot; is synonymous with &amp;quot;Agreement Officer&amp;quot;. In the event of an inconsistency between the documents comprising this RFA, it shall be resolved at the discretion of the Agreement Officer. Applicants shall submit both Technical and Financial Applications of their submissions in separate volumes. Award will be made to the responsible applicant whose application offers the greatest value to the U.S. Government. Please note, however, that technical applications will be significantly more important than cost applications. If you decide to submit an application, please note that electronic submission is required. Applications must be sent as e-mail attachments to caddis@usaid.gov and cc: tgebremedhin@usaid.gov. If your organization decides to submit an application, it must be received no later than the time and date set forth above and in accordance with the instructions set forth in Section IV of the RFA. Applications received after the closing date and time may not be considered, except as described in Section IV of this RFA. Applicants should retain a copy of their application, and any enclosures thereto, for their records. An open and public question and answer session will be hosted by USAID as described in Section IV of the RFA. Questions must be submitted as described in Section IV. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. buildings sector accounted for approximately 41% of United States primary energy consumption in 2010. Of this energy used by U.S. residential and commercial buildings, approximately 10% can be attributed to losses through the building envelope due to air infiltration. The purpose of this RFI is to collect information that will be used by BTO for strategic planning of the broader windows and opaque envelope technologies R&amp;amp;D portfolio. Specifically, BTO is seeking information from the public on diagnostic technologies that can be used to identify infiltration through the envelope, including in and around fenestration, of residential and commercial buildings. In particular, BTO is interested in the current state-of-the-art in infiltration diagnostic technologies, forthcoming research and development (R&amp;amp;D) advances that could reduce cost or improve performance, and the potential market implications of improved infiltration diagnostics. Responses to this RFI will impact the development of the BENEFIT 2016 FOA. This is solely a Request for Information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications and will not respond to questions.</Description>

        <Description>The Asian Elephant Conservation Fund solicits project proposals for the conservation of the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) throughout its range. In 1997, with awareness of the increasing threat to the welfare of the already endangered Asian elephant The Asian Elephant Conservation Act was signed into law. The Act provides for the conservation of Asian elephants by supporting conservation programs in countries within the range of Asian elephants, and the projects of persons with demonstrated expertise in the conservation of Asian elephants. The Asian Elephant Conservation Fund supports projects that promote conservation of Asian elephants and their habitats through: Applied research on elephant populations and their habitats, including surveys and monitoring; Activities that result in fewer wild elephants being removed from the wild, reduce demand in consumer countries for ivory and other body parts, and prevent illegal killing of elephants; Development and execution of elephant conservation management plans; Compliance with applicable treaties and laws that prohibit or regulate the taking or trade of elephants or regulate the use and management of elephant habitat; Conservation education and community outreach; Enhanced protection of at-risk elephant populations; Efforts to decrease human-elephant conflict; Habitat conservation and management, including improved protected area management in important elephant ranges; Strengthening local capacity to implement conservation programs; Transfrontier elephant conservation; and Wildlife inspection, law enforcement, and forensics skills. Support will also be given to projects that enhance the knowledge of decision makers and other stakeholders. These include legislators, teachers, school children, journalists, tourists, non-governmental organizations, and private sector organizations or businesses in order to strengthen their ability to positively influence wildlife conservation, management, legislation, policy, and finance; and to harmonize these with other national policies. Proposed project should occur within the range of the Asian elephant, or, if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show a clear relevance to Asian elephant conservation. Applied research projects should address specific management needs and actions, and threats from emerging issues such as disease, poaching, or climate change that affect the species and its habitats.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00314 Project Title Prepare National Register Multiple Property Submission for CAJO Recipient National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers Total Anticipated Award Amount $95,000.00 Cost Share None Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature to 12/31/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature to 12/31/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; 54 USC 100101 CFDA # and Title 15.946 Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P12AC13012 Legacy Number P12AC30538 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO) for the purpose of cooperating in the sharing of knowledge, skills, and resources on mutually satisfactory terms in furtherance of the recognized objectives, policies, and responsibilities of preserving the historic built environment of the United States. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. Congress established the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail in 2006 through an amendment to the National Trails System Act. The first designated national historic trail that is composed primarily of a water trail route, the trail route traces the 1607-1609 voyages of Captain John Smith to chart the land and waterways of the Chesapeake Bay. The trail route extends approximately 3,000 miles along the Chesapeake Bay and the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay in a corridor that traverses five states (Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York). STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The purpose of this project is to prepare a National Register Multiple Property Documentation form (MPDF) and at least one National Register nomination for the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail in accordance with current standards and scholarship defining and developing appropriate historic contexts (including archeology) related directly to the trail. The MPDF cover should take into account the entire 3,000 mile trail corridor extending through five states (Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware) and the District of Columbia, including the trail route and trail-related resources. The National Register nomination should provide documentation for one property within the geographic area of the MPDF cover submission. The public purpose and benefit of this project is to assist the park and its multiple constituencies and stakeholders in identifying, documenting, and evaluating cultural resources within the trail corridor. The study will provide essential information which will be used to make informed decisions about the preservation, management, and interpretation of the historic and cultural resources within the trail corridor. In addition to the report, which will be made available online, this project includes a public workshop at the conclusion of the study to engage the general public, stakeholders and park managers service-wide in discussion of best practices.

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned.

        <Description>A project consisting of pilot design projects at various scales in at least two cities to advance the state of science for developing landscape conservation design (LCD) guidelines for monarch butterfly conservation in urban areas as described below. The emerging multi-LCC EPIC Network integrates the ecological and urban communities to guide and promote conservation practices, such as those across the monarch flyway. Specifically, this project will lay the groundwork for design principles to guide the development, testing and deployment of future urban conservation for the Monarch butterfly across the Eastern half of the country. This strategy will need to reflect an integrated and interdisciplinary approach, one that includes ecological and social dimensions specific to an urban landscape. There is not an application process for this funding opportunity, this is a notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement in the amount of $100,000 to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) under justification 505DM 2.14.B. (2) and (4) without competition. Competition is not practical for this award as this monarch project will specifically address urban opportunities for on-the-ground pilots to identify socioeconomic factors and best management practices that will be incorporated into a Landscape Conservation Design currently underway with the Field Museum of Chicago. To fill geographic gaps in the monarch flyway and support the LCD, selection of city recipients must be completed within the next several months and closely coordinated with other monarch projects currently being implemented with existing NFWF funds. Therefore, NFWF is uniquely qualified to continue/complete the activities and it is necessary to have continuity for the satisfactory completion of the project. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will be substantially involved in the project under this funding opportunity. In particular, the Service and its partners have put substantial staff and funding resources towards the conservation of the iconic monarch butterfly in several closely related projects. The Service will participate jointly with the recipient by facilitating contact with stakeholders in the EPIC network of urban conservationists, assisting in selection of city projects, ensuring relevant application to design of the EPIC Urban Monarch LCD, direct or redirect the work due to interrelationships with other LCCs and related Service monarch research projects, and reserve the right to immediately halt activity if detailed performance specifications are not met.</Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW, RECIPIENT AND NPS SUBSTANTIAL INVOLVEMENT Theodore Roosevelt National Park selected The SCA to conduct trail rehabilitation in the Spring of 2015. The SCA&amp;#8217;s original project estimate provided an Experienced Trail Leader for the duration of the project, as well as two weeks before the rest of the crew arrived to assess the work that needed to be done, as well as being able to commit for a continuous ten week period. American Conservation Experience, Conservation Corps of MN and IA, and Montana Conservation Corps were also contacted for estimates. Continued use of The SCA will allow seamless transition between the summer crew and fall crew to continue rehabilitation work. The 2015 summer crew completed the primary objectives of the project. Heat and loose terrain caused several secondary objectives to not be completed. A fall Leader Crew will spend three weeks working on the secondary objectives of the original project. Rehabilitation work will include: 67 check steps, 2 water bars, 60&amp;#8217; of vertical mulching, 30&amp;#8217; of tread repair, 20&amp;#8217; of turnpike, 38&amp;#8217; of boardwalk, 20&amp;#8217; of Foot Bridge and potential 200&amp;#8217; re-route. No substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of this award. It is anticipated that involvement will be limited to actions related to monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient. NPS will provide camping location with water and access to restrooms and shower, detailed overview of work to be completed, safety briefing of Park specific hazards, Park radio for emergency communications, and all materials needed for project completion. The Recipient is a member of the The SCA who was awarded a Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00031 allowing The SCA to participate in specific tasks, and can provide the necessary activities involved in this particular task while providing an effective outcome for NPS and the objectives of this research/educational project. They will accomplish this by providing Youth an opportunity to work on their public lands. The National Park Service will receive much needed rehabilitation of park trails. </Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation generates collections of archeological materials and records in accordance with multiple federal laws. Following 36 CFR 79, these federal museum properties must be curated by a repository or museum meeting Department of the Interior standards. The Natural History Museum of Utah meets these standards, as well as those of the American Association of Museums. The museum has curated the collections from the Colorado River Storage Project, including Glen Canyon and Flaming Gorge since the 1950s, because under the terms of the original agreements between the United States and the Museum, they were stipulated to &amp;#8220;retain&amp;#8221; the Collections. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Following 36 CFR Part 79, the responsibilities of the depositor (Reclamation) and the museum are to be as follows: The Repository shall: 1. Perform long-term curatorial services for the Collection per 36 CFR 79 and the Museum&amp;#8217;s policies. 2. Perform an annual inventory of the Collection following 411 Department Manual requirements and report on this inventory to Reclamation. If there is any loss, theft, destruction, or damage to the Collection, report this to Reclamation, along with information about use of the Collection, and progress made in accessioning, cataloging, conserving, or otherwise caring for the Collection. 3. At the beginning of the Agreement (in FY2015), complete a facility checklist and submit it to Reclamation. 4. Review and approve requests for destructive analysis of common objects within the Collection following Museum policies without notification to Reclamation. However, the Museum shall seek Reclamation&amp;#8217;s approval of any proposal to destructively analyze rare, significant or controversial objects within the Collection. 5. Credit Reclamation with ownership of the Collection when utilized for public display or other use with the credit line: &amp;#8220;Collections of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.&amp;#8221; 6. If requested, provide Reclamation with a copy of Collection accession and catalog records. 7. Not repatriate, mortgage, pledge, assign, exchange, give, sublet, discard or part with the Collection or any other U.S. Government-owned property to a third party either directly or indirectly without the prior written or verbal permission of Reclamation. In addition, not take any action whereby any of the Collection of any other U.S. Government-owned property shall or may be encumbered, seized, taken in execution, sold, attached, lost, stolen, destroyed, or damaged without the prior written or verbal permission of Reclamation. 8. Administrative tasks associated with de-accession. </Description>

Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES.

        <Description>Mexico makes up only one percent of the Earth&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s land area, but is home to an impressive one-twelfth of all of the species known to science. A megadiverse country, Mexico is also a major center of origin and domestication of plants and a key flora and fauna dispersal corridor. Its rainforests are among the richest reservoirs of biological material on the planet, and its diverse habitats are home to a broad array of wildlife, including many seasonal residents that migrate to and from the U.S. and other areas. Despite the multiple efforts and initiatives by local authorities, international agencies, non-government organizations and donors, Mexico&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s astonishing natural diversity remains threatened by habitat loss and degradation, agricultural encroachment and intensification, invasive alien species, human intrusion and disturbance, illegal wildlife trade, poaching and human-wildlife conflicts. In response to these challenges, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service) together with the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources of Mexico (SEMARNAT) established the Wildlife Without Borders &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Mexico program, as a cooperative effort between the United States and Mexico to preserve our shared natural heritage. Program Goal: To conserve priority species, habitats and ecological processes across landscapes with high biodiversity value in Mexico. Authorizing Legislation: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-43)</Description>

        <Description>The Pueblo of Zuni considers ancestral archaeological sites to be traditional cultural properties (TCPs) because these sites are tangible monuments validating Zuni emergence and migrations, which play a fundamental role in sustaining Zuni individual and collective cultural identities. The Pueblo of Zuni also asserts that archaeological sites are eligible to the National Register of Historic Places. The purpose of this project is: 1. Mitigate, in part, the adverse effects caused by operations of the Glen Canyon Dam on those characteristics that make up the Zuni ancestral sites. 2. Document the importance of the Grand Canyon, the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers, and the Zuni ancestral sites from a Zuni tribal perspective. 3. Create a documentary film to be used as educational material in the Zuni school systems, for the general Zuni public, and stakeholder participants in the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP). </Description>

        <Description>Office of Naval Research along with many government agencies have invested in research and development of various concepts of detecting explosive threats (mines, IEDs, and Home-Made Explosives) and their related components (metallic and non-metallic) at stand-off distances. While improvement in sensitivity and selectivity of explosive detection sensors have increased, challenges still remain to acquire relevant information rapidly enough to maintain an operational tempo while maintaining a safe stand-off distance in expeditionary operation (vehicle or other small platform operation). Most of the current optical and Radio Frequency (RF) solutions suffer poor collection efficiency due to severe scattering from the targets, hence, not capable of providing sufficient coverage. Ideal solutions should include determination of all types of explosives, provide sufficient coverage rate enabling detection, classification, and identification all the explosive threats from a moving platform. In order to address these challenges, this announcement is seeking innovative research topics that can address the following research areas. </Description>

        <Description>Scientific research and operational support of that research are the principal activities supported by the United States Government in Antarctica. The goals are to expand fundamental knowledge of the region, to foster research on global and regional problems of current scientific importance, and to use Antarctica as a platform from which to support research. The U.S. Antarctic Program provides support for fieldwork only when a compelling justification exists for doing the work in Antarctica (i.e., the work can only be done or is best done, in Antarctica). The program also supports Antarctic-related analytical research performed at home organizations.</Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW In 2006, the Department of the Interior entered into the San Joaquin River Settlement (Settlement) in NRDC et al., v. Kirk Rodgers et al. The Settlement was subsequently approved by the Court in October 2006 and the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act, Public Law 111-11, authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Interior to implement the Settlement. The Settlement calls for a combination of channel and structural improvements along the San Joaquin River below Friant Dam, releases of additional water from Friant Dam, the reintroduction of spring and/or fall-run Chinook salmon, and the reduction or avoidance of water supply impacts to the Friant Division long-term contractors that may result from the Settlement&amp;#8217;s Interim and Restoration flows. With the implementation of the Settlement, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has increased releases from Friant Dam into the San Joaquin River. These increased releases, termed Interim and Restoration Flows, will be protected for instream and fish and wildlife uses under the California Water Code. The San Joaquin River Restoration Program (SJRRP) began releasing Interim Flows on October 1, 2009. These flows could potentially increase the quantity and distribution of invasive plant species. Interim Flows rewetted previously dry portions of the San Joaquin River, and may facilitate the spread of invasive vegetation from below Friant Dam to parts of the San Joaquin River further downstream. The Water Year 2010 Interim Flows Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) require Reclamation to monitor and manage invasive vegetation in the San Joaquin River. The EA and FONSI identify key species with potential to prevent successful SJRRP implementation. Reclamation has the same requirement to monitor and manage invasive vegetation in the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement / Report. The San Joaquin River Partnership (Partnership) includes 11 non-profit member organizations and an array of scientists, volunteers, and conservationists who together seek to support full implementation of SJRRP by working with private landowners, government agencies, and community organizations. Two members of the Partnership, including River Partners (RP), and the San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust (Trust), propose to monitor and manage invasive vegetation in fulfillment of Reclamation&amp;#8217;s environmental commitments in the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement / Report. The members&amp;#8217; past natural resources management successes have been a direct result of their ability to work in Central Valley communities, and building coalitions and partnerships with Federal, state and local agencies and stakeholders. This history of working with local communities is important because the members would like to engage local youth, agricultural labor crews, and local students to monitor and manage invasive plants on the river. The members view this as an opportunity to address high unemployment in the San Joaquin Valley, and reach out to the locals who are often unaware and uninformed about SJRRP. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The Trust agrees to: &amp;#8226; All aspects necessary to monitoring and manage invasive vegetation &amp;#8226; Coordinating and cooperating with Reclamation to complete the environmental compliance and permitting activities for the Project. &amp;#8226; Obtaining any additional state and local permits and/or approvals that may be required for the Project. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, Reclamation will be responsible for the following: Reclamation will: &amp;#8226; Be responsible for completing the following environmental compliance and permitting activities by December 31, 2016: National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Historic Preservation Act. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (1) UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL AND (4) UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS Single Source Justification Description: The Trust submitted an unsolicited proposal to monitor and manage invasive vegetation using a unique and innovative approach by employing local students, youth, and agricultural labor to monitor and manage invasive species. The Trust approach provides the ancillary benefits of helping to address high unemployment in the San Joaquin Valley, providing a means for SJRRP to reach out to local communities, and working to achieve the Department of the Interior&amp;#8217;s Priority Goal to Hire or Temporarily Engage Individuals Aged 15-25, which is included in Mission Area 5: Building a 21st Century Department of the Interior (Department of the Interior Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2011-16). River Partners and the Trust have many decades of combined experience in protecting and restoring natural resources in California. Their successes have been a direct result of their ability to work in Central Valley communities, building coalitions and partnerships with Federal, state and local agencies and stakeholders. The Trust proposes to include the River Partners as a subcontractor in this effort. The Trust is uniquely qualified to perform these activities within the San Joaquin River Parkway (Parkway) and surrounding areas. The Trust works in cooperation with the San Joaquin River Conservancy (Conservancy), a public agency which develops, operates, and maintains the Parkway. The Parkway is a 22-mile regional greenspace and wildlife corridor along both sides of the San Joaquin River, extends from Friant Dam to Highway 99, and is composed of public ownership, conservation easements, and private ownership with public access. The Trust already possesses GIS data of invasive vegetation in Reach 1, and invasive vegetation removal permits which could cover related activities under the proposal. The Conservancy and the Trust already have an existing relationship in which the Trust provides assistance in managing the Parkway. In addition, River Partners&amp;apos; mission is to create wildlife habitat for the benefit of people and the environment. River Partners has 16 years of experience in restoring properties and conducting on the ground efforts for the benefit of habitat. STATUTORY AUTHORITY Public Law 111-11, Title X, Subtitle A - San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement, Part I &amp;#8211; San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act, Section 10004 (b)(2) SEC. 10004. IMPLEMENTATION OF SETTLEMENT. (b) AGREEMENTS.&amp;#8212; (2) OTHER AGREEMENTS.&amp;#8212;The Secretary is authorized to enter into contracts, memoranda of understanding, financial assistance agreements, cost sharing agreements, and other appropriate agreements with State, tribal, and local governmental agencies, and with private parties, including agreements related to construction, improvement, and operation and maintenance of facilities, subject to any terms and conditions that the Secretary deems necessary to achieve the purposes of the Settlement. </Description>

        <Description>The NOAA Marine Debris Program, authorized in the Marine Debris Research, Prevention, and Reduction Act, codified at 33 U.S.C. 1951-1958, provides funding to support locally-driven, marine debris prevention, assessment, and removal projects that will benefit coastal habitat, waterways, and NOAA trust resources. Funding for this purpose comes through the NOAA Marine Debris Program as appropriations to the Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service. Projects awarded through this grant competition will implement effective, on-the-ground marine debris removal activities, with priority for those targeting medium- large-scale debris, including derelict fishing gear. Projects should also provide benefits to coastal communities, and create long-term ecological habitat improvements for NOAA trust resources. Through this solicitation NOAA identifies marine debris removal projects, fosters awareness of the effects of marine debris to further the conservation of living marine resource habitats, and contributes to the understanding of marine debris composition, distribution and impacts. Successful proposals through this solicitation will be funded through cooperative agreements. Funding of up to $2,000,000 is expected to be available for Community-based Marine Debris Removal Project Grants in FY2016. Typical awards will range from $50,000 to $150,000</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00331 Project Title Research, Evaluate Properties in the Pacific West Region and Prepare One or More National Historic Landmark Nominations Recipient Organization of American Historians Total Anticipated Award Amount $30,000.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature through 08/01/2019 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature through 08/01/2019 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) 54 USC100101 CFDA # and Title 15.946 Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00289 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and the Organization of American Historians (OAH) to promote the undertaking of activities requiring the sharing of NPS and OAH knowledge, skills and resources. Under the Cooperative Agreement, NPS and OAH will undertake activities that promote the greater public and private understanding of American history for their mutual benefit and for the people of the United States as well as for future generations, so that they can enjoy the historic resources of the NPS. The American Latino Heritage Initiative (ALHI) was launched in 2011, the Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Initiative (AAPI) and the Women&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s History Heritage Initiative (WHI) in 2012 and the Lesbian Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Queer (LGBTQ) in 2014. Increasing the representation of diverse stories within the National Historic Landmarks Program is a goal common to all of these initiatives. National Historic Landmarks are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. Today, a little more than 2,500 historic places bear this national distinction. Working with citizens throughout the nation, the National Historic Landmarks Program draws upon the expertise of National Park Service staff in Washington and in Regional Offices who work to nominate new landmarks and provide assistance to existing landmarks. The Pacific West Region currently has 248 NHLs under its purview. The designation of a property as a National Historic Landmark ensures that stories of nationally important historic events, places, or persons are recognized and preserved for the benefit of all citizens. The National Historic Landmarks Program has engaged in a dramatic effort to extend its reach to reflect a full spectrum of people and events that participated in building the nation. Designation of NHLs helps recognize, preserve, and protect important locations in American history. Designating a property as an NHL may provide it with additional protections from development, and may also make the property eligible for preservation grants and technical preservation assistance. Most NHLs are privately-owned and are governed by local preservation laws. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The Pacific West Region and the Organization of American Historians will work cooperatively to help the Pacific West Region identify properties located in the Pacific West Region that are associated with heritage imitative themes and that meet NHL criteria and will assist in the creation of one or more NHL nominations. The initial focus will be on properties associated with the AAPI and LGBTQ Initiatives that have been identified as potential NHLs and are in need of additional research and evaluation. The NPS will use this project to assist with the broader interpretation of United States history to help ensure that all nationally-significant stories are represented within the Pacific West Region National Historic Landmark Program. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Work, in consultation with NPS staff in the Pacific West Regional Office, to locate historians and scholars specializing in American history. 2. Will work with the NPS to identify properties that are underrepresented in the NHL Program 3. Historians will meet the qualifications for a GS 0170-11 or higher historian as determined by the Office of Personnel and Management. 4. These historians should have an in-depth knowledge of the National Historic Landmarks Program and the nomination process as well as a demonstrated ability to work with scholars specializing in Women&amp;apos;s, American Latino, Asian American Pacific Islander and/or LGBTQ history. 5. These scholars will assist the OAH and NPS in overseeing the researching and writing of National Historic Landmarks nominations that will identify and emphasize underrepresented areas in the roster of National Historic Landmarks. 6. Assist NPS to research and prepare National Historic Landmark nominations. 7. Cover necessary travel costs for historians and scholars for any related research trips, site visits, and meetings in the Pacific West Region; Washington, DC; or elsewhere. 8. These meetings may be held on site or using equipment such as video-conferencing, WebEx or Live Meeting. 9. Provide financial compensation to the scholars for his or her time and work on this project. 10. Adhere to guidelines regarding potential conflict of interest as outlined in The NPS Historic Preservation Fund Grants Manual. 11. These guidelines are clearly stated in Chapter 3, Section C, 1-11 of the Manual. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT 1. Work with the OAH in selecting the scholar(s) to conduct the research; 2. Work with OAH to reach out to underrepresented communities to identify possible NHLs 3. Work with OAH to develop a further refined detailed scope of work, based on Article I of this task agreement, for the scholar to follow in order to complete National Historic Landmarks nomination(s). 4. Provide guidance and technical expertise on the format and content for nomination of properties for designation as National Historic Landmarks. 5. Provide relevant background materials of already identified potential historic sites associated with Women&amp;apos;s, American Latino, Asian American Pacific Islander and/or LGBTQ history in the Pacific West Region. 6. Arrange conference calls as needed; arrange for meeting rooms, and facilitate meetings with NPS staff as necessary and make NPS staff and resources as needed available. 7. Review the progress of the research to ensure relevance and quality. 8. Share and promote, with related and relevant NPS units, the completed nominations.

        <Description>OVERVIEW: The National Park Service&amp;#8217;s Vital Signs Monitoring Program, established in the late 1990s, designs and implements long term monitoring for key indicators of change, or &amp;#8216;vital signs.&amp;#8217; Monitoring &amp;#8216;vital signs&amp;#8217; of ecosystem health, such as water quality and species diversity, provides early detection of emerging threats to park resources. These threats might result in loss of natural habitat, invasion by exotic species, or other disturbances to natural systems. This detection and tracking enables park managers to take action before serious damage can occur. Monitoring is implemented through groups of parks or &amp;#8216;networks&amp;#8217; working together and sharing resources. The Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network in partnership with Missouri State University provides the science to support stewardship of natural resources at 15 National Park Service units across eight states in the central Great Plains. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: This cooperative agreement (Agreement) is entered into by and between the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Missouri State University. The objectives of this agreement are to: 1) engage university faculty and students for the benefit of NPS park natural resources through scientific inquiry and discovery while providing students unique educational and professional opportunities in the field of natural resources management; 2) monitor &amp;#8220;vital signs&amp;#8221; of ecosystem health in 15 National Park units in collaboration with students and faculty at Missouri State University by enhancing science-based natural resource stewardship to protect and conserve natural resources; 3) facilitate an awareness of resource conservation to students and the public; 4) support the Government&amp;#8217;s objective to provide opportunities for youth to learn about the environment by spending time working on projects in National Parks.

        <Description>The intent of this STTR initiative reissue is to accelerate the advanced development and clinical implementation of reliable, reproducible, highly specific and sensitive imaging diagnostic devices for dental caries, periodontal disease, cracked teeth, and pulp vitality. These new devices must demonstrate superior specificity and sensitivity compared with current diagnostic methods, such as the visual/tactile/radiographic examination for detection of caries, while not increasing health risks for patients. Approaches that could be explored include, but are not limited to: optical coherence tomography (OCT) with or without Raman spectroscopy, MRI image analysis, electrical conductivity measurement (ECM), quantitative laser fluorescence (QLF), alternating current impedance spectroscopy, multi-photon imaging, infrared thermography, infrared fluorescence (IR), ultrasound, and terahertz imaging.The development of novel modalities is also encouraged.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this project is to provide guidance and technical support to the Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Directorate (NRSS) of the National Park Service in the evaluation and development of online natural resource communications materials for internal and external audiences. NRSS is transitioning from html-coded templates to a Content Management System. Guidance and technical assistance are needed in organizing and editing existing content to a new structure. NRSS is also beginning to test the use social media as a method for communication with various audiences. Guidance on the best strategies for using social media, content development, and assessment of strategies is critical for successful use of computer-mediated communications. The primary focus of this project is public outreach, education and communications. The project assists in the creation, promotion, facilitation, and improvement communication products that increase public understanding and engagement in natural resource topics. This project will provide significant benefit to the public; it will focus on distilling and refining technical information and reformatting it into a context that will be easy to digest and retrieve by the public through various communication channels. </Description>

This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned.

        <Description>OVERVIEW This cooperative agreement (P15ACI1144) is entered into between the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Dr. Sarah Johnson, Northland College (Recipient). STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN This project will be a joint venture between Drs. Sarah Johnson and Jonathan Martin of Northland College and the Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network of the NPS. The mutual goals for both parties are to develop papers that address the response of vegetation in the Great Lakes region to climate change. Sarah Johnson and Jonathan Martin have proposed the use of tree cores to look at the impacts of climate change in relation to proximity of large lakes, while Suzanne Sanders and Sarah Johnson propose to study the demographic responses of rare plants on Isle Royale. For the tree core project, Northland College student employees will collect the samples in the field. While at the sites, they will also collect data on GLKN&amp;#8217;s long-term vegetation monitoring plots, while working under the supervision of GLKN staff. In addition to collecting data, Dr. Martin will work with the students in the lab to sand, treat, read, and interpret the cores. Drs. Martin and Johnson will work collaboratively with NPS staff to write a manuscript for this project. For the rare plant project, Suzanne Sanders and Jessica Kirschbaum (NPS) will work with other GLKN staff to develop databases to enter and store data associated with this project. This will include entering the data from the three previous sampling rounds, which is currently only on paper. We have made arrangements with Dr. Emmet Judziewicz from the University of Wisconsin &amp;#8211; Stevens Point to obtain these data. He is retiring in 2015 and wishes to turn the project over to the National Park Service. GLKN will provide transportation to, and lodging on, ISRO for Sarah Johnson. Sarah Johnson and GLKN staff will relocate and resample the rare plant plots together. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Provide seasonal employees to collect tree cores and sample the GLKN long-term monitoring plots for the 2016-2020 field seasons. 2. Resample the 38 rare plant plots at ISRO along with GLKN permanent staff. 3. Direct Northland College students on tree core preparation and analysis. 4. Co-author a manuscript, along with GLKN permanent staff, on the population demographics and projections of ISRO rare plant species. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT 1. Participate and collaborate jointly with the Recipient in carrying out the scope of work. 2. To provide a NPS technical representative to be to assist with specifics of the project as needed. 3. Advertise the positions and conduct interviews. 4. Provide tools, training, and supervision to the seasonal employees while in the field. 5. Provide all needed transportation while working within the park. 6. Resample the 38 rare plant plots at ISRO along with Dr. Sarah Johnson 7. Co-author a manuscript, along with Dr. Sarah Johnson, on the population demographics and projections of ISRO rare plant species. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the unique qualifications of Dr. Sarah Johnson. We selected Dr. Sarah Johnson and Northland College because we need someone for this project who is familiar with the rare plant communities of both Apostle Islands and Isle Royale. Both parks have a number of unique plant communities and it is essential that the recipient be able to identify these specific species and to understand their ecological niche. Sampling is influenced by emergence patterns, flowering time, and plant visibility. It is also essential that the person be extremely familiar with the remote areas where these populations are located and to know how they are marked. Access typically involves remote hiking with a number of logistical challenges to face. Because of the very short window when this sampling can take place, there is no time for training or &amp;#8220;getting up to par.&amp;#8221; In addition to the rare plant project, we will be also collecting tree cores. Because GLKN employees wish to learn the core preparation process, it is strongly desired that the awardee is in close proximity to GLKN offices. </Description>

        <Description>2016 Forest Service National Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost Share Grant Deadline: November 23, 2015. The Secretary of Agriculture has a congressionally designated advisory council that assists the U.S. Forest Service in establishing the grant categories and recommendations of final proposals for the Forest Service to consider. This is the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council (NUCFAC). The Council serves to advise the Secretary of Agriculture on the status of the nation&amp;#8217;s urban and community forests and related natural resources. The NUCFAC seeks to establish sustainable urban and community forests, by encouraging communities of all sizes to manage and protect their natural resources, which, if well managed, improves the public&amp;#8217;s health, well-being, economic vitality, and creates resilient ecosystems for present and future generations. The Council recommends urban and community forestry projects that have national or multi-state application and impact through the U.S. Forest Service&amp;#8217;s competitive Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost Share Grant Program. This year, the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council (NUCFAC) has identified three national grant categories: This Request for Proposals is to address the following priority issues: &amp;#8226; Analysis and Solutions for Development and Redevelopment Impacts on Urban and Community Forests &amp;#8226; Building Human Health Through Urban and Community Forestry &amp;#8226; Climate Change and Its Impact on Trees and Water Detailed information about each category follows this section. Proposals are to meet the request and intent of each applicable category. Organizations, local governments, tribal agencies, and partnerships are encouraged to submit proposals that will demonstrate the reach, resources, and expertise needed to address the three priority issues in ways that will lead to meaningful, replicable results across the country. Potential Innovation grantees are should work collaboratively with other organizations and entities not traditionally involved in urban and community forestry. Applicants should consider multi-year projects and other sources of funds, which may include other Federal cooperative conservation sources. While other Federal dollars or technical support may contribute to the project, they may not be used to match these Federal grant program dollars. The grant review process takes about a year to review pre and full proposals once they are received. Applicants should note their start and end date accordingly on their SF424. Each category is separate. Please do not merge more than one category content or intent into one proposal, which can result in disqualification of the proposal. Applicants may submit separate pre-proposals for more than one category. Go to http://www.fs.fed.us/ucf/nucfac.shtml for full information on the 2016 Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost Share Grant. Search [CFDA number: 10.675], or [Grant Opportunity No.: USDA-FS-UCF-01&amp;#8211;2016]. The grant applications are to be submitted through www.grants.gov. Contact Nancy Stremple, Natural Resource Specialist, Executive Staff, National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council, (NUCFAC) nstremple@fs.fed.us or your Forest Service Regional Urban Forestry Program Manager, if you are interested in applying and have any questions.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants for funding under this NOFA are States, units of local government, and nonprofit organizations. Because selected applicants will receive a HOPWA grant and a Transitional Housing Assistance Program grant, eligibility under this demonstration will be limited to entities that are eligible to receive grant funding under both programs. To be eligible as a unit of local government, the applicant must be a general purpose political subdivision of a State, such as a city, county, township, town, borough, parish, or village. All State and unit of local government applications must come from an individual who has the authority to apply for and accept grant awards on behalf of the jurisdiction. Applications received from agencies or departments within a unit of local government (e.g., the City Department of Social Services) will not be considered for funding under this NOFA.  HUD will view applications coming from agencies or departments within a unit of local government as having a curable deficiency due to the unique nature of the eligibility requirements for this demonstration. States and units of local government applying for funding under this NOFA are expected to provide funding to project sponsors with expertise in HIV housing and services, and sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking services.  For example, the City of Somewhere may apply as the grantee and coordinate administrative functions, but it must provide funding to  project sponsors to carry out project activities. Project Sponsors could include an AIDS service organization coordinating eligible housing activities with HOPWA grant funds, and a sexual assault service provider coordinating supportive service activities with Transitional Housing Assistance Program grant funds. The applicant is expected to increase coordination among community organizations to improve cross-agency planning, resource utilization, and service integration among HIV/AIDS housing providers and domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking service providers. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>Grants funded under this initiative will implement one of the recommendations of the Interagency Federal Working Group on the Intersection of HIV/AIDS, Violence against Women and Girls, and Gender-Related Health Disparities: to enhance federal efforts to address HIV and intimate partner violence (IPV) among homeless and marginally housed women and girls. These grants will also help further the goals and objectives of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), which calls for enhanced collaboration at the Federal, State and community level, among diverse agencies and partners to maximize efficient use of resources to achieve its goals. The activities funded under this NOFA will support the NHAS goals &amp;#8211; to reduce HIV infection; to increase access to care and improve health outcomes for person living with HIV/AIDS; and to reduce HIV-related disparities. These goals will be accomplished through improved cross-agency coordination, resource utilization and service integration among HIV/AIDS housing providers and domestic violence service providers.This NOFA announces funds available for projects that provide housing assistance and supportive services to low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS who are also victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, including any minors and dependents living with such persons. Each successful applicant under this initiative will receive two separate one-time only, non-renewable grants from HUD: (1) a HOPWA grant, and (2) a Transitional Housing Assistance Program grant. HOPWA grant funds will be used for housing assistance for program participants, coordination and planning activities, and grant management and administration. Transitional Housing Assistance grant funds will be used to provide supportive services for program participants. As a result of project efforts, communities will be assisted in the development of a Housing and Services (HAS) Model to be issued at the end of the third year of operation. This HAS Model document will be an administrative function and should provide clear lessons learned and best practices for providing housing assistance and appropriate supportive services for persons living with HIV/AIDS who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Each HAS Model will be shared with the public, and lessons learned through these grantee efforts will help inform national and community policy and actions.</Description>

        <Description>In response to the crisis in Gaza, USAID has launched &amp;#8220;Gaza 2020&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; a multi- million dollar, five-year initiative commitment of resources that builds on Secretary Kerry&amp;#8217;s commitment at the October 2012 Cairo Reconstruction Conference to help rebuild Gaza. The initiative promotes recovery, reconstruction, and redevelopment in Gaza through four major activities: water and sanitation, private sector development, health, and humanitarian assistance.&amp;#8220;Envision Gaza 2020&amp;#8221; is one of the pillars of &amp;#8220;Gaza 2020&amp;#8221; directed at providing humanitarian assistance and early recovery to Gaza. With a total estimated budget of up to $50,000,000 over five years, Envision Gaza 2020 aims to create a path for vulnerable populations in Gaza (households, youth, women, and other marginalized groups) to become more sustainable and self-reliant. The project will (1) provide basic humanitarian commodities, (2) increase employment opportunities through short term employment, paid internships, minor capital investments, and job training, and (3) provide relief under an emergency rapid response (ERR) feature that can be scaled up or down depending on whether a disaster occurs. Sub-grants to civil society organizations are anticipated to be a major element of the project allowing civil society organizations to take a leading role in responding to humanitarian crises and emergencies, meeting community needs and priorities, engaging needy populations, and coordinating closely with the private sector and other sectors.The anticipate release date of the Envision Gaza 2020 solicitation is August 31, 2015. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage the transfer of new technologies and new data analysis techniques into a research laboratory. One of the key goals of the BRAIN Initiative is to develop new technologies to improve our understanding of the brain. In order for those technologies to be useful, they need to be broadly disseminated beyond the laboratory or company where they originated. This FOA promotes this goal by providing funds to enable the incorporation of new technologies or data analysis techniques into research programs that further the aims of the BRAIN initiative.</Description>

        <Description>Birth defects are a leading cause of infant mortality in the United States and contribute substantially to health care costs and life-long disabilities. They affect one in every 33 babies in the United States, account for more than 20% of all infant deaths, and contribute to $2.6 billion annually in hospital costs alone. The Birth Defects Prevention Act of 1998 directed CDC to carry out programs to collect data on birth defects and provide information to the public about the prevention of birth defects. Accurately tracking birth defects and analyzing the collected data is the first step in preventing birth defects. This FOA provides funding to improve population-based birth defects surveillance and translate the data collected for public health action to better understand the impact of birth defects on communities, drive population-based prevention strategies, improve referral to services for affected individuals and families, and link and evaluate health outcomes of children identified through newborn screening for critical congenital heart defects and other disorders. The purpose of this FOA is to enhance state population-based surveillance of major birth defects and to use the data for public health action. Surveillance activities should focus on improvements in surveillance methodologies such as expanding data sources, increasing remote access to electronic medical records, piloting innovative approaches to electronic health data, and other methods to improve data quality and timeliness. Applicants are strongly encouraged to follow the National Birth Defects Prevention Network&amp;#8217;s Guidelines for Conducting Birth Defects Surveillance and National Standards for Data Quality. In addition to enhanced surveillance methodologies, applicants need to demonstrate data utilization through at least three of the following: 1) publications of epidemiologic studies for enhanced surveillance methodologies, impact and trends on communities, health service utilization, etc.; 2) data driven prevention strategies for populations at risk; 3) referral to services for affected individuals and families, including evaluation of the effectiveness of the referral activities; and 4) enhance surveillance of newborn screening for critical congenital heart defects and other disorders, and evaluate health outcomes of affected children. Identification and engagement with appropriate partners are key to successfully implement the surveillance and data utilization activities. While the overall prevalence of birth defects has remained stable over time, there is variation in the prevalence of specific birth defects. Timely, complete, and accurate surveillance data are needed to explore potential associations between modifiable risk factors and these observed variations. Additionally, because infants born with birth defects are living longer, expanded surveillance activities are needed to quantify the public health impact of birth defects and to inform policy decisions that can drive improved health care services and utilization. Increasing the number of birth defects surveillance systems that provide quality data will support efforts to explore epidemiologic studies of birth defects and guide the development and evaluation of primary and secondary prevention efforts. Furthermore, these activities directly address NCBDDD&amp;#8217;s mission and strategic priorities as well as a number of other high impact public health programs, including the CDC Health Protection Goals, Healthy People 2020 objectives, and CDC&amp;#8217;s Strategic Public Health Priorities.</Description>

        <Description>The intent of the Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be small- to large-scale projects, at different stages of idea and research development. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. An additional funding level, Funding Level 3, is available under a different Program Announcement (W81XWH-15-BCRP-BREAKTHROUGH2_FL3). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed. The funding level should be selected based on the scope of the research project, rather than the amount of the budget. The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level: &amp;#8226; Funding Level 1: Innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that is in the earliest stages of idea development. Research with potential to yield new avenues of investigation. Proof of concept. No preliminary data required. &amp;#8226; Funding Level 2: Research that is already supported by preliminary data and has potential to make significant advancements toward clinical translation. Demonstration of efficacy in in vivo models, as applicable. Partnering PI Option: The Breakthrough Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate two PIs, called the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI, each of whom will receive a separate award. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work (SOW), and other required components. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each PI is expected to bring distinct contributions to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the PIs to describe how their combined expertise will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts. To meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option, applicants are discouraged from submitting as a Partnering PI on multiple applications unless they are clearly addressing distinct research questions. Applications submitted by a mentor and his/her current postdoctoral fellow or junior investigator as Initiating and Partnering PIs do not meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00339 Project Title Support CSU&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s 2016 Protected Area Management Course and the World Ranger Congress Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $90,053.72 Cost Share None Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature to 8/31/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature to 8/31/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp;(b) 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs-Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW RM-CESU Cooperative Agreement Number P14AC00728 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Colorado State University (CSU) for the purpose of providing research, technical assistance and education in protected area management, environmental and research to partners (foreign or domestic) of the NPS. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN This project, to Support CSU&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s 2016 Protected Area Management Course and the World Ranger Congress (WRC), addresses the public purpose of providing learning opportunities about protected area management for rangers working in protected areas that have sister park relationships with the US NPS, and other areas. The rangers will take what they have learned from the formal training and from the sessions at the WRC back with them to their own countries, to improve the protection of the world&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s environment and to educate citizens on the resources and values of the protected areas. American rangers that will participate in the WRC will learn from colleagues from about 40 countries doing similar conservation work under a wide diversity of challenging conditions, improving their own ability to protect America&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s national park system. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Colorado State University agrees to: 1. Conduct two Center for Protected Area Management (CPAM) organized nine-day protected area rangers courses associated with the WRC in 2016, one before the WRC in English, one afterwards conducted in Spanish. If advance registrations do not warrant two courses, only one course may be conducted assuring translation for both English and Spanish speakers. 2. Provide scholarships to participants attending both the WRC and one of the CPAM-organized ranger courses. 3. Support the purchase of tickets and logistics details for the participants attending both the WRC and the CPAM organized ranger course and arrange for transportation between the CPAM course and the WRC venue in Estes Park, CO, and in selected cases coordinated with the NPS, shadow assignment venues. 4. Provide scholarships that cover some or all of the costs of participating in or volunteering for the WRC, such as registration, room and board, and transportation. Some logistical support may be provided for these scholarship recipients. 5. Provide logistical support and equipment to the World Ranger Congress Organizing Committee (WRCOC) to support these protected area rangers and other participants at the WRC during field trips and the Congress sessions. This will include: a. Audiovisual, translation, and other supplies and equipment for WRC sessions b. Translation assistance on field trips and in concurrent sessions c. Transportation (12 passenger vans and drivers) for field trips 6. Coordinate closely with the NPS ATR and the WRC Liaison on course content, participation, scholarships, supplies and equipment, and other WRC services CSU provides, consulting on any significant proposed deviations from the budget beforehand. Quarterly accounting of line-item expenditures on this agreement will be provided electronically via spreadsheet or other mutually-agreed means. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS agrees to: 1. Publicize and recruit for the two CSU Courses on Protected Area Management associated with the WRC. 2. Identify Mexican and other Latin American protected area rangers to attend one of the courses funded in full, or in part, under this task agreement. 3. Communicate with partner agencies in these countries to receive feedback from participants after course in order to develop follow-on cooperative activities. 4. Identify a liaison between CSU CPAM, NPS, and the WRCOC. 5. Recruit for an active or retired NPS protected area ranger or manager to be part of the faculty on one or both of the CPAM courses associated with the WRC, with salary paid by NPS (if currently employed). This could be two different people, one for each course. 6. Encourage NPS protected area managers with sister park agreements to recruit for attendance at the CPAM courses and the WRC, and to facilitate shadow assignments and non-NPS funding to enable participation by protected area rangers from other countries. Both parties agree to: Funding for other costs (i.e. travel and per diem) of the NPS ranger or manager to be part of the faculty of the CPAM course(s) will be determined in advance by mutual agreement but both parties agree to seek additional funds for this purpose. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) Continuation This is a Task Agreement (P15AC01589) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) in the amount of $90,053.72 with a period of performance from date of award until 08/31/2016. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State University and the NPS is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network&amp;quot;. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to generate data to inform the FDA on ways to reduce the addictiveness and resulting public health toll from tobacco product use in the United States. Nicotine is the primary constituent responsible for the addictiveness of cigarettes, resulting in smokers inability to quit and continued use. Research addressing nicotine and combusted tobacco product use behaviors (e.g., reinforcing effects, compensation, and amount used) and the dose-effects of nicotine will inform FDA regarding its tobacco regulatory authorities. Research projects must address the research priorities related to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) as mandated by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31. The awards under this FOA will be administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) using designated funds from the FDA CTP for tobacco regulatory science.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligibility for Part A grants depends in part on the number of confirmed AIDS cases within a statutorily specified &amp;#8220;metropolitan area.&amp;#8221;&amp;#160; The Secretary of Health and Human Services uses the Office of Management and Budget&amp;#8217;s (OMB&amp;#8217;s) census-based definitions of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in determining the geographic boundaries of a RWHAP metropolitan area.&amp;#160; HHS relies on the OMB geographic boundaries that were in effect when a jurisdiction was initially funded under Part A. &amp;#160;For all newly eligible areas, the boundaries are based on current OMB MSA boundary definitions. The only exception is Ponce, Puerto Rico, which uses different boundaries than those that were in effect when that jurisdiction first received funding. The decision to change the boundaries for this particular TGA was the result of litigation, which is currently on appeal. &amp;#160;HRSA has consistently maintained that the RWAHP legislation requires that geographic boundaries for EMAs and TGAs must remain fixed in time.Therefore, Part A recipients that are classified as an EMA or as a TGA and continue to meet the statutory requirements are eligible to apply for these funds.&amp;#160; For an EMA, this is more than 2,000 cases of AIDS reported and confirmed during the most recent five calendar years, and for a TGA, this is at least 1,000, but fewer than 2,000 cases of AIDS reported and confirmed during the most recent period of five calendar years for which such data are available.&amp;#160; Additionally, for three consecutive years, recipients must not have fallen below the required incidence levels already specified, and required prevalence levels (cumulative total of living cases of AIDS reported to and confirmed by the Director of the CDC, as of December 31 of the most recent calendar year for which such data are available); for an EMA, this is 3,000 living cases of AIDS, and for a TGA, this is 1,500 living cases of AIDS, or at least 1,400 (and fewer than 1,500) living cases </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part A HIV Emergency Relief Grant Program. Part A funds provide direct financial assistance to an eligible metropolitan area (EMA) or a transitional grant area (TGA) that has been severely affected by the HIV epidemic. Grants assist eligible program areas in developing or enhancing access to a comprehensive continuum of high quality, community-based care for low-income individuals and families with HIV through the provision of formula, supplemental, and Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) funds. Based on an assessment of the services and gaps in the HIV Care Continuum within a jurisdiction or service area, planning bodies and recipients may identify specific service categories to fund. Funded service categories should facilitate improvements at specific stages of the HIV Care Continuum. Comprehensive HIV/AIDS care consists of core medical services and supportive services that meet the criteria of enabling individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS to access and remain in primary medical care to improve their medical outcomes. HRSA/HAB recognizes that Part A EMAs and TGAs must use grant funds to support and further develop and/or expand systems of care to meet the needs of PLWH within the EMA/TGA and strengthen strategies to reach minority populations. HAB requires EMAs/TGAs to collect data to support identification of need, for planning purposes, and to validate the use of RWHAP funding. A comprehensive application should reflect how those data were used to develop and expand the system of care in EMA/TGA jurisdictions. Needs assessments conducted by individual jurisdictions should also review/reference relevant needs assessments conducted by other HIV/AIDS programs, such as HRSA&amp;#8217;s Bureau of Primary Health Care, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Ongoing CDC initiatives, as well as HAB&amp;#8217;s efforts with recipients to estimate and address unmet need of those aware of their HIV status and the newer requirement to identify and bring into care persons in their jurisdictions who are unaware of their positive HIV status, should result in many more PLWH entering into the EMA/TGA care system. The EMA/TGA planning process must ensure that essential core medical services have been adequately funded to meet the needs of those already in care and those being newly linked to care. As of November 2014, the CDC estimates more than 1.2 million people are living with HIV and 1 in 7 (14 percent) are not aware of their HIV status. The ultimate goal within the United States (U.S.) is to inform all HIV-positive persons of their status and bring them into care in order to improve their health status, prolong their lives, and slow the spread of the epidemic in the U.S. through enhanced prevention efforts. Important Notes: &amp;#183; In accordance with the RWHAP legislation (Sec. 2603 (a)(4)) of the PHS Act hold harmless will not be a factor in the FY 2016 RWHAP Part A awards. &amp;#183; Information on Ryan White and the Affordable Care Act, along with Policy Clarification Notices can be found at http://hab.hrsa.gov/affordablecareact/. &amp;#183; Greater emphasis has been placed on the HIV Care Continuum. Applicants are expected to include a graph illustrating the HIV Care Continuum in the EMA/TGA and an explanation of how the HIV Care Continuum is utilized in your jurisdiction. Refer to the Needs Assessment Section IV.2.ii for requirements. &amp;#183; The Unmet Need requirements in this funding announcement have been updated and included in Section IV.2.ii. Needs Assessment 3) b. Unmet Need. Please review carefully when preparing this section of your application. The following information will assist in understanding and completing this year&amp;#8217;s grant application: &amp;#183; As an applicant and current recipient, you are required to have implemented the Part A National Monitoring Standards at the grant recipient and provider/subrecipient levels. HRSA has developed and distributed guidelines outlining the responsibilities of HRSA, the grant recipient, and provider/subrecipient staff. The National Monitoring Standards can be found at: http://hab.hrsa.gov/manageyourgrant/granteebasics.html. &amp;#183; Women, Infants, Children and Youth (WICY) waiver requests are no longer part of the application process. The WICY waiver reporting format was revised to allow recipients to submit a waiver request and provide supporting data with the annual progress report. &amp;#183; Part A funds are subject to Section 2604(c) of the PHS Act which requires that not less than 75 percent of the funds remaining after reserving funds for administration and clinical quality management be used to provide core medical services that are needed in the EMA/TGA for individuals with HIV/AIDS who are identified and eligible under the RWHAP. Core medical services are listed in section 2604(c)(3) of the PHS Act, and support services allowed under Part A are limited to services that are needed for individuals with HIV/AIDS to achieve their medical outcomes, as defined by the RWHAP. The most recent service definitions can be found in the latest version of the National Monitoring Standards, located at http://hab.hrsa.gov/manageyourgrant/granteebasics.html. The burden is on the applicant to accurately propose plans and projections using the most recent versions of the Standards and definitions that are posted when an application is submitted. &amp;#183; Applicants seeking a waiver to the core medical services requirement must submit a waiver request either with this grant application, at any time up to the application submission, or up to four months after the start of the grant award for FY 2016. Submission should be in accordance with the information and criteria published by HRSA in the Federal Register Notice, Vol. 78, No. 101, dated Friday, May 24, 2013, and may be found at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR- 2013-05-24/pdf/2013-12354.pdf. Sample letters may be found at http://hab.hrsa.gov/affordablecareact/samplereqwaiverletters.pdf. In addition, recipients are advised that an FY 2016 Part A waiver request must include funds awarded under the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI). A waiver request that does not include MAI will not be considered. If submitting with the application, a core medical services waiver request should be included as Attachment 9. &amp;#183; EMA/TGA Agreements and Compliance Assurances are included (Appendix A) with this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), and require the signature of the CEO, or the CEO&amp;#8217;s designee; this document should be included as Attachment 2.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has issued, on behalf of the Technology-to-Market Team in the Office of Strategic Programs, a Competition Announcement DE-FOA-0001398 entitled &amp;#8220;2017 Solar Decathlon College Team Competition.&amp;#8221; All applications must be submitted through EERE Exchange (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/). The Competition Announcement supports the Obama administration&amp;#8217;s commitment to improving the nation&amp;#8217;s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education efforts, and to building a more knowledge-intensive workforce. The DOE and EERE are eager to create and support education and workforce development programs that are specific to applied energy, and are essential to carrying out DOE&amp;#8217;s mission and advancing energy technologies for the future. The Solar Decathlon is a high-profile DOE-branded education and workforce development program for university-level students. The two-year program culminates in a competition among 20 solar-powered, high efficiency houses designed and built by multidisciplinary collegiate teams. The competition also serves as a public demonstration of EERE technologies. It promotes energy efficiency and increases awareness about residential energy use, fostering greater adoption of clean energy technologies. The competition demonstrates that an aesthetically beautiful and well-designed house can generate enough thermal and electrical energy to meet the needs of a single-family household. Held bi-annually since 2002&amp;#8212;first in Washington, D.C. and then in Irvine, California - 65,000-100,000 people visit the Solar Decathlon to tour the houses and see student teams&amp;#8217; use of EERE technologies in action. More information about past Solar Decathlons is available at http://www.solardecathlon.gov/. DOE intends to select 20 new collegiate teams to enter the 2017 Solar Decathlon and compete for up to $2,000,000 in prizes. The Competition Announcement includes the following Area of Interest: Solar Decathlon Team Selection - The Competition Announcement seeks up to 20 collegiate teams to compete in the 2017 Solar Decathlon College Team Competition. The challenge to the teams competing in the Solar Decathlon is, in less than 24 months, to safely and effectively design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive. The winner of the competition is the team that best blends affordability, consumer appeal, and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum efficiency. There is no financial assistance provided for selected applicants. Prizes will be awarded to the Teams completing the competition as described below. DOE is inviting collegiate teams of creative designers and innovators to enter the competition. For the first time in a Solar Decathlon competition, DOE intends to offer monetary prizes. For the Solar Decathlon 2017, DOE will award up to $2,000,000 in prizes to teams that are selected to participate via the Competition Announcement, and that bring an eligible house to the Solar Decathlon competition. The prizes will be awarded to the same 20 lead organizational entities that submit applications to DOE and are selected by DOE to compete. The competition is open to all collegiate teams in the United States and around the world, but the focus is on design solutions for the United States. For more information about the competition, please visit http://www.solardecathlon.gov/. EERE anticipates selecting 20 teams to participate in the Solar Decathlon, and to compete for its prize money. There will be no financial assistance to teams. The estimated period of performance for the 2017 Solar Decathlon College Teams Competition will be approximately two years. EERE issued the competition Announcement DE-FOA-0001398 via the EERE Exchange website (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/). If Applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding this planned Competition, they should register in EERE Exchange. Applications will be accepted only through EERE Exchange. Applications will not be accepted through Grants.gov. Organizations interested in applying to the Solar Decathlon Program Administrator Funding Opportunity Announcement should refer to DE-FOA-0001371 in EERE Exchange.</Description>

        <Description>A geologic scoping meeting at Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway (SACN) identified significant gaps in the existing geologic map coverage in and adjacent to the park boundaries. Some areas were mapped at too coarse a scale to have any resource management utility, some areas had bedrock but no surficial mapping, some had surficial but no bedrock, and some had never been mapped at all. This project will first fill in all missing surficial geologic mapping, and, if funding is available, then fill in the bedrock mapping. This sequence was selected at the request of the park who finds surficial maps to have the most utility for resource management.</Description>

        <Description>In order to connect with the next generation of park stewards, the National Park Service (NPS) Natural Resources Stewardship and Science (NRSS) Directorate will partner with the CNS Education &amp;amp; Outreach Center (CNSEOC) at Colorado State University to create curriculum-based materials focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) subjects. This expands on a previous pilot project that developed pre-, syn-, and post- park visit STEM kits and curriculum materials centered around pressing park water quality and quantity issues at a specific park in Hawai&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;i. Two cohorts of K-12 teachers received professional development, helped develop and pilot test materials, and are now training new teachers. The goal of this new multi-regional scale project is to create materials about natural resource subjects that best align with K-12 educational standards as well as the needs of the regional culture(s). It will engage students in the scientific research and monitoring being done in the parks and incorporate NPS protocols and data from the Natural Resource Stewardship and Science programs such as Inventory and Monitoring, Night Skies, and Natural Sounds programs. The pre- and post-visit activities developed via this project will be able to be done independently in classrooms or on school grounds and therefore are specifically designed to serve as a public benefit. This project will bring together scientists, park staff, teachers, and community partners to provide K-12 students with learning experiences that inspire them to take action on real-world problems.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00344 Project Title Preparing National Park Service Records for Improved Public Access Recipient Western Washington University Total Anticipated Award Amount $287,521.00 Cost Share None Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature until April 1, 2018 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature until April 1, 2018 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 154 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; (b), 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Resources of the National Park System (CESU) Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW This project between Western Washington University (WWU) and the National Park Service (NPS) is designed to address the increasing public interest in natural and cultural resources in the national parks, largely due to current issues like global warming, climate change, biodiversity, and endangered species. Extensive information about these resources is contained in agency archives, but is currently unknown or inaccessible. In addition, the NPS manages the National Register of Historic Places and the National Historic Landmarks Program, the combined records of which contain information on over 90,000 historic properties throughout the country. As part of the approaching Centennial in 2016 the NPS is providing improved public access to this information through a project known as a &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Gift to the Nation.&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; This collaborative effort with WWU will assist the Intermountain Region Museum Services Program with processing, arranging, rehousing, and cataloging archival collections primarily containing resource management information and preparing finding aids to facilitate their use. Arranged and described collections will make information about park resources be more available to the public, researchers, and park staff tasked with planning and management of those resources. Increased intellectual and physical control also will improve security and preservation of the materials. Additionally, the project will prepare National Register and National Historic Landmark nominations for digitization by the National Archives and Records Administration so they can be made available to the public. Finding aids will be created to facilitate their use. This project will be conducted in phases. This agreement may be modified to add future phases, subject to the availability of funding and satisfactory progress of project work. Phase I will involve processing, arranging, and rehousing an estimated 65 linear feet of archival collections and cataloging an estimated 15 linear feet of archives from Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The Phase I &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Gift to the Nation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; work will achieve two goals: an organization by state of an estimated 150 linear feet of Determinations of Eligibility (240,000 items) and creation of an inventory of 275 linear feet of these records (440,000 items); and processing, arrangement, and rehousing of an estimated 650 linear feet of National Register and National Historic Landmark nominations (an estimated 1.04 million items). Appropriate metadata and finding aids will be produced. Students and post-graduates will be trained and, in collaboration with the Principal Investigator from WWU, guided in their work by Intermountain Region Museum Services Program archivists. They will gain hands-on experience applying best practices in processing, arranging, cataloging, and storing archival collections to these important records of the heritage of the nation. The experience gained in preparing records for digitization also will be widely applicable to other similar projects. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The NPS creates resource management records in the course of daily business which are considered permanent and must be managed in perpetuity. These records incorporate the long history of assembling data on and managing park cultural and natural resources during the past century. Agency records management over the past three decades has steadily declined, leaving a complex and fragmented mix of temporary and permanent records. Over 40% of known agency archives are uncatalogued. The need to utilize information in these inaccessible records grows daily. The Intermountain Region Museum Services Program of the NPS manages the Western Archeological and Conservation Center (WACC) in Tucson, Arizona, to curate archives and museum collections on behalf of parks, the region, and selected national programs. This facility houses over 6 million archival items from 70 western parks, as well as WACC&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s own extensive archival collections. Holdings are increasing at a rate of approximately 750,000 archival items annually. WACC also functions as a project center where archives are processed, arranged, rehoused, and cataloged, and discovery tools, such as finding aids and inventories, are developed to improve public access. Collections also are prepared for digitization and appropriate metadata developed. Intermountain Region Museum Services Program Archivists are coordinating the high profile &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Gift to the Nation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Centennial project to digitize the National Register and National Historic Landmark records to improve public access. Archivists stationed at WACC also provide assistance to parks and programs in identifying and assembling archival collections, and improving accountability for them. WWU&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Archives and Records Management Program is the only comprehensive graduate training program for archivists in the Northwest. The course of study meets the expectations of the Society of American Archivists&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Guidelines for a Graduate Program in Archival Studies.&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Requirements include a 350 hour internship, providing the practical experience to balance the theoretical perspectives presented in coursework. The program of study includes archives and records management, a combination that is uniquely suited to addressing the problems recognized with NPS records. WWU has successfully collaborated with the Intermountain Region Museum Services Program over the past three years to process, arrange, rehouse, and catalog over 500 linear feet of park and program records, and is preparing over 1,000 linear feet of National Register and National Historic Landmarks records for digitization (see Agreement P12AC15007) as part of the &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Gift to the Nation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; project. A NPS archivist coordinates the processing component of this project; the team currently includes two NPS project archivists and two WWU Post-Graduate Research Assistants. Objectives Investigators from WWU and NPS from the Intermountain Region Museum Services Program staff will collaborate to accomplish the following objectives, which build on the work that both organizations already have accomplished jointly. 1. Continue efforts to improve accountability for, preservation of, and access to permanent NPS records by appraising, processing, arranging, rehousing, cataloging, and labeling archival collections and developing finding aids using best professional practices and the extensive protocols developed by Intermountain Region Museum Services Program archivists. Collections to be addressed will be selected by Intermountain Region Museum Services Program archivists. 2. Continue the preparation of the National Register and National Historic Landmarks records for digitization by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) by receiving, inventorying, processing, arranging, rehousing, and labeling the records and creating appropriate metadata and finding aids in accordance with the established protocols. These objectives are expected to be accomplished in multiple phases. This agreement initially funds Phase I work but may be modified to add future phases, subject to the availability of funding and satisfactory progress of project work. Additional phases are expected to increase the number of linear feet of records to be addressed in each objective in the format of the Phase I objectives below. Phase I objectives: 1. Improve accountability for and preservation of an estimated 65 linear feet of archives through appraising, processing , arranging, rehousing, cataloging, and labelling archival collections and developing finding aids using best professional practices and the extensive protocols developed by Intermountain Region Museum Services Program archivists. Selected archives include: a. An estimated 50 linear feet of Water Resources Division archives (processing, arrangement, metadata development, and rehousing only). b. An estimated 15 linear feet of Black Canyon of the Gunnison archives (processing, arrangement, rehousing, cataloging, and preparation of finding aids). 2. Prepare the National Register and National Historic Landmarks records for digitization by NARA by receiving, inventorying, processing, arranging, rehousing, and labeling the records and creating appropriate metadata and finding aids in accordance with the protocols established for the &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Gift to the Nation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; project. Specific focus includes: a. Sorting of an estimated 150 linear feet of Determinations of Eligibility by state and completing a written inventory of an estimated 275 linear feet of these records. b. Processing, arranging, rehousing, labeling, and creating metadata and finding aids for an estimated 650 linear feet of nominations. c. Receiving records from NARA and preparing records for return to NARA. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The recipient is to appraise process, arrange, catalog, rehouse, and label archival collections containing principally natural and cultural resource management documentation and prepare finding aids. The recipient is to work jointly with the NPS to review each collection to identify cataloging strategies, key words, and other cataloging issues. The recipient is to provide the services of Research Assistants to process and catalog the collections. WWU is to process and arrange archival material into appropriate series, sub-series, and/or file units for the collections per the approved processing plans. They ensure that all data (format and content) is edited to conform to NPS Museum Handbook and Processing and Cataloging Handbook requirements. They catalog the collections by completing all necessary screens in the Interior Collections Management System archives module. They prepare finding aids for each collection in hard copy and electronic (PDF) format. Additionally, the recipient is to process, arrange, and rehouse National Register and National Historic Landmark nominations and create metadata spreadsheets following local arrangement protocols to prepare these records for digitization by the National Archives and Records Administration. The recipient is to sort the Determinations of Eligibility by state and prepare an inventory of these records. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following. NPS will be involved in many aspects of the project, including selecting the archival collections to be addressed by the project, setting overall schedules, providing training assistance, and reviewing final products. NPS will be responsible identifying and assembling the archival collections and the National Register and National Historic Landmark records so they will be available for work; completing pest mitigation; coordinating any modifications to the approved processing plans during processing and arrangement, obtaining accession and catalog numbers, and coordinating the review of arranged and rehoused collections and nominations, draft catalog records, metadata spreadsheets, and finding aids. The NPS will provide existing protocols for processing, arrangement, cataloging and storage upgrade and training to ensure appropriate application. The NPS also will furnish space, equipment and supplies to do the work at the Western Archeological and Conservation Center. The NPS also will provide a project coordinator to integrate the work of WWU Research Assistants on the National Register and National Historic Landmarks records with the work being done on this project by NPS project archivists. NPS Archivists will provide technical assistance as needed for the recipient to complete the work. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) Continuation: As indicated above, WWU has successfully collaborated with the Intermountain Region Museum Services Program over the past three years to process, arrange, rehouse, and catalog over 500 linear feet of park and program records, and is currently preparing over 1,000 linear feet of National Register and National Historic Landmarks records for digitization (see Agreement P12AC15007) as part of the &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Gift to the Nation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; project. The work to be conducted with archives under this agreement involves the Water Resources and Black Canyon of the Gunnison archives, portions of which are currently being completed under Agreement P12AC15007. The work to be conducted for the National Register and National Historic Landmarks records is a continuation of the current effort in the same collection but focusing on different states and Determinations of Eligibility. The continuity of work would be highly disrupted by the introduction of another cooperator. By virtue of their current experience with the National Register and National Historic Landmarks records, WWU is uniquely qualified to continue this work. </Description>

        <Description>This program seeks to enhance what is understood about mentoring as a prevention strategy for youth who are at risk of involvement or already involved in the juvenile justice system. While mentoring appears to be a promising intervention for youth, more evaluation work is needed to further highlight the components of a mentoring program that are most effective. Research is also needed to demonstrate the specific components of mentoring programs that have a significant impact in reducing juvenile delinquency and offending. This solicitation seeks to fund research studies that will inform the design and delivery of mentoring programs. OJJDP expects that the results of this effort will encourage a more effective utilization of resources as well as enhance the implementation of evidence-based best practices for juvenile mentoring. This program is authorized by the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2012, Public Law 112-55.</Description>

        <Description>The objective of this project is to complete NHD projects in Idaho in the Lemhi River Basin and the Big Lost Basin. The current NHD does not reflect changes seen on the ground. IDWR proposes to update the areas indicated and submit all changes to the USGS for implementation in the NHD. They will update this area using NAIP imagery, historical maps, and local data (if available). The update will include a photo revision of existing digital hydrography and the addition of key priority tributaries or irrigation ditches that are not currently in the NHD. Also, key features like fish screens, passage barriers, and ongoing monitoring sites will be added as event features.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the National Coordinating Center for the Regional Genetic Services Collaboratives. The program was established to enhance, improve, or expand the ability of state and local public health agencies through working with academic and community based organizations to provide screening, counseling, or health care services to newborns and children having or at risk for heritable disorders. The primary goals of the National Coordinating Center (NCC) are to: -1 Assist the Regional Collaboratives to achieve and provide a model of strategies to strengthen communication, partnerships and collaboration among public health, families, primary care providers, and genetic medicine and other subspecialty providers; -2 Work with the Regional Collaboratives to ensure that individuals with heritable disorders and their families have access to quality care and appropriate genetic expertise and information in the context of a medical home that provides accessible, family-centered, continuous, comprehensive, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective care over the life course; -3 Develop and implement an evaluation program to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate outcomes of projects undertaken by the Regional Collaboratives and the National Coordinating Center. This should include a learning collaborative and ongoing analysis; -4 Develop electronic medical record (EMR) specifications for Clinical Genetic Patient Care work with National Library of Medicine (NLM) and various EMR vendors to develop electronic medical record specifications of clinical guidelines for genetic conditions. These specifications should be useful for system developers and/or vendors to include in electronic medical record systems. The specifications must detail requirements and options for the system (i.e., When should the system enable decision support?). Clinical guidelines must be researched thoroughly by the awardee in order to create the most up-to-date specifications. The specifications will be tested and validated by the Regional Genetics and Newborn Screening Collaboratives; -5 Collaboration with other programs that intersect with this project, coordinate and provide assistance to MCHB-funded programs, including but not limited to the National Newborn Screening Technical Assistance and Data Repository, the National Coordinating Center for Regional Hemophilia Networks, the National Consumer Center for Genetics Resources and Services and the Clearinghouse of Newborn Screening Information. Form partnerships with various stakeholders including Federal and non-Federal organizations for innovative methods of data collection, quality improvement and educational outreach; -6 Support further development of the existing collaborative work on data sets for follow-up of newborn screening and development of data dictionaries and common ontology for use with electronic medical records and registries -7 The awardee will be expected to hold and fund the logistical costs for at minimum ONE (1) joint meeting per year of the National Coordinating Center/Regional Collaborative Project Directors in the Washington DC area that will also be attended by the Project Officers/HRSA staff. -8 Development of a National Genetics Education and Consumer Network that will function to: ? Assist consumers - individuals, parents and families - gain access to quality information and education, in order to make informed decisions about their or their children&amp;apos;s health care ? Actively engage the participation of consumer groups in order to ensure they have opportunities to form connections with peers or mentors in supportive, educational or faith-based networks that enhance social well-being and community life and have opportunities to participate in leadership development, decision-making, program policy development, as well as community and State organizing activities to improve children&amp;apos;s health, development and learning experiences. ? Serve as a bridging force between consumers and the services provided by HRSA-funded F2F HICs, National Technical Assistance Centers and Clearinghouses, and Genetics Regional Collaboratives, as well as national centers focusing on family/professional partnerships and Parent, Family and Community Engagement, to ensure consumers have access to needed genetics information, resources and health services; ? Build, enhance, improve or expand ongoing mechanisms to link State genetics programs, family services, community and other academic and consumer organizations to promote genetics education; and ? Provide mechanisms for national dissemination of existing genetics resources and services information, including, but not limited to, product development - at appropriate literacy levels - when gaps are identified. ? Develop an advisory body of stakeholders to ensure that the project meets the these requirements The growth and expansion of internet accessibility and capabilities should be balanced with personal outreach and interactions with consumer and advocacy groups. This will help to ameliorate some of the disparities that can be exacerbated by relying solely on technical means for dissemination and education. -9 The awardee will be expected to conduct or contract out development of a quality assessment educational program based on the learning collaborative model. The meetings for this collaborative should occur, at minimum, annually. Ongoing analysis of outcomes and changes for the Coordinating Center and the Regional Collaboratives are also expected. </Description>

        <Description>Project description: The overall purpose of this proposed program of research is to gather baseline information that will help support the creation of the roads and trails management plan for the park, which is currently underway. This research is intended to inform and guide NPS managers in providing sustainable horse trail use in the park. Also, this study will provide subject matter expertise within the fields of outdoor recreation and recreation ecology. We considered three universities for conducting this project: Southern Illinois University (SIU), Clemson University, and Kansas State University (KSU). KSU is recommended as the recipient of the award based on unique qualifications, location, and availability. We considered Dr. Park at SIU, but received no response to our inquiry. While Clemson has extensive experience on this topic, their distance from the project area would result in travel higher costs. The recommended principle investigator is well versed in visitor use impacts monitoring and is located near the park, which is preferable given the short duration of this focused and rapid study. NPS staff will collaborate with university researchers by: &amp;#8226; Jointly participating in developing, reviewing and modifying project proposals, data, and or reports. &amp;#8226; Ensuring compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and/or the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as well as in obtaining any necessary permits prior to project activity. &amp;#8226; Incorporating project findings into National Park Service operations and planning efforts. &amp;#8226; If available, the NPS may provide in-kind support of necessary housing for researchers associated with the study via park housing. Availability of park housing cannot be guaranteed. The Recipient is a member of the (Great Plains CESU) who was awarded a Master Cooperative Agreement (H6000110100) allowing (Kansas State University) to participate in specific tasks, and can provide the necessary activities involved in this particular task while providing an effective outcome for NPS and the objectives of this research/educational project. Study objectives will focus on two elements that can benefit the most from empirical data: 1) collect an updated assessment of current use to better understand long term trends and increasing demand, particularly as related to special event rides which bring significant volumes of use into the park at one time 2) provide research results to inform the selection of indicators, thresholds, and management strategies. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are Indian tribes or tribal organizations on behalf of Indian tribes. An applicant must be eligible as an Indian tribe (or as a tribal organization), as required by 24 CFR 1003.5, by the application deadline date.Tribal organizations are permitted to submit applications under 24 CFR 1003.5(b) on behalf of eligible tribes when one or more eligible tribe(s) authorize the organization to do so under concurring resolutions. The tribal organization must itself be eligible under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or the Indian Health Service (IHS), as appropriate, must make a determination of such eligibility. This determination must be provided to the Area ONAP by the application deadline. If a tribe or tribal organization claims that it is a successor to an eligible entity, the Area ONAP must review the documentation to determine whether it is in fact the successor entity. If your organization has already submitted this information to the Area ONAP you need not submit it again. An application submitted by a tribal organization on behalf of a specific tribe will not be accepted if the tribe itself submits an application for the same funding round.On January 14, 2015, the BIA published a Federal Register notice entitled, &amp;quot;Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services from the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs&amp;amp;rdquo; (80 FR 1942).  This notice provides a listing of Indian Tribal Entities in Alaska found to be Indian tribes as the term is defined and used in 25 CFR Part 83. Additionally, pursuant to Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, ANCSA Village Corporations and Regional Corporations are also considered tribes and therefore eligible applicants for the ICDBG program.Due to the unique structure of tribal entities eligible to submit ICDBG applications in Alaska, and as only one ICDBG application may be submitted for each area within the jurisdiction of an entity eligible under 24 CFR 1003.5, a tribal organization that submits an application for activities in the jurisdiction of one or more eligible tribes or villages must include a concurring resolution from each such tribe or village authorizing the submission of the application. The hierarchy for funding priority continues to be the IRA Council, the Traditional Village Council, the ANCSA Village Corporation, and the ANCSA Regional Corporation. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>General. All grant funds awarded in accordance with this NOFA are subject to the requirements of 24 CFR Part 1003.The purpose of the ICDBG program is the development of viable Indian and Alaska Native communities, including the creation of decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities primarily for persons with low- and moderate- incomes as defined in 24 CFR 1003.4. The Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) in HUD&amp;apos;s Office of Public and Indian Housing administers the program.1. Single Purpose Grants. Projects funded by the ICDBG program must meet the primary objective, defined at 24 CFR 1003.2, to principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons. Consistent with this objective, not less than 70 percent of the expenditures of each Single Purpose grant shall be for activities that meet the regulatory criteria at 24 CFR 1003.208 for:Area Benefit Activities;Limited Clientele Activities;Housing Activities; orJob Creation or Retention Activities.2. Imminent Threat Grants.Imminent Threat (IT) means a problem which if unresolved or not addressed will have an immediate negative impact on public health or safety (24CFR &amp;#167; 1003.4) These grants are intended to alleviate or remove a threat to health or safety that requires an immediate solution as described at 24CFR part 1003,subpart E. Due to the urgency and immediacy of the threat, projects funded must be completed within 12 months of the grant award, unless there is good cause for not being able to do so. An application for IT funds is not required to be submitted by the deadline established in this NOFA. IT applications are funded on a first-come first-served basis until the amount set aside for this purpose is exhausted.</Description>

        <Description>OVERVIEW Include a paragraph that explain the overview of the project to be awarded. Freshwater runoff plays a first order role in controlling the spatial and temporal distribution of water column properties (salinity, temperature, density) in the waters of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GBNPP). Runoff also strongly controls circulation patterns and residence times. These physical oceanographic processes are linked in many ways to ecological processes, demonstrating the broad impact of freshwater runoff on Glacier Bay. Streamflow is undersampled in Alaska in general and in GBNPP in particular. As a result, the hydrologic budget of Glacier Bay can not be determined through monitoring alone, and a modeling campaign is needed. Glacier Bay and Oregon State University will jointly develop a physical process-based hydrologic model for GBNPP that models snow and ice melt, and that routes runoff through the landscape to the coastline. The model will be highly resolved in space (100-500 m) and in time (daily step) allowing for estimates among and within seasons and years, and can accommodate individual rainfall events. The model will ultimately be validated using physical oceanographic data collected by park staff. Since runoff is strongly controlled by the precipitation and weather data, we will make model runs using three different weather products (NARR [North American Regional Reanalysis], MERRA [Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications], and PRISM [Parameter-elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model]). The ensemble of data sets will help to quantify the uncertainty in runoff associated with uncertainty in forcing weather data. Outcomes of this project will include a dataset in netcdf format covering the entire GBNPP watershed that specifies runoff on a daily time step for a 30-year hindcast period. &amp;#8217;Derived&amp;#8217; products will also include files describing the runoff extracted only at coastline grid cells to allow for the specification of the runoff into Glacier Bay. These data files will be suitable for immediate inclusion into an oceanographic model of the bay by other interested parties. Finally, a number of visual materials will also be generated based on input from park management and interpretation staff, including images (at a given time step, for example) and movies (covering a year, or the entire model period) that demonstrate the rich behavior of snowfall, icemelt, and runoff. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN NPS and Oregon State University will jointly develop a hydrologic model for GBNPP that models snow and ice melt, and that routes runoff through the landscape to the coastline. This collaborative project will improve our understanding of the present levels and distribution of runoff and how levels and distribution can change in response to changing precipitation, temperature and land cover. The variety of products produced by this project will contribute to greater public understanding of the hydrology of the system and how changing climate conditions can influence this critical component of the ecosystem. Explain the mutual and cooperative participation of the project to be awarded. 1. Generate a 30-year dataset on streamflow for the entire GBNPP watershed. This dataset will have a daily time step and will have a spatial resolution of 100-500 m. 2. Convert model results into netcdf format, which is a machine-independent data structure preferred for array-oriented data. 3. Generate model datasets for three widely-used weather reanalysis products. 4. Calibrate and validate the model results with available field data (subject to data availability). 5. Produce informative and visually appealing media (images, animations) related to the hydrologic cycle of Glacier Bay. 6. Present results to park staff and to park visitors. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Recipient Involvement: This should provide a summary of the recipient&amp;#8217;s activities to be funded by the award.

        <Description>The purpose of this modification is to delete Section III.E.2.v Limit on FFRDC Effort: &amp;#8220;The FFRDC effort, in aggregate, shall not exceed 50 % of the total estimated cost of the project, including the applicant&amp;#8217;s and the FFRDC&amp;#8217;s portions of the effort.&amp;#8221; The overall strategic goal of the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) is to develop commercially viable bioenergy and bioproducts to enable sustainable, nationwide production of biofuels that are compatible with today&amp;#8217;s transportation infrastructure, can reduce GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions relative to petroleum-derived fuels, and can displace a share of petroleum-derived fuels to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and encourage the creation of a new domestic bioenergy industry. BETO has targeted a performance goal of validating, at pilot scale, at least one technology pathway for hydrocarbon biofuel at a mature modeled cost of $3/GGE (gasoline gallon equivalent) with GHG emissions reduction of 50% or more compared to petroleum-derived fuel by 2017, and validating two additional pathways by 2022. These high level strategic and performance goals are expanded in further detail in BETO&amp;#8217;s multi-year program plan (MYPP). BETO most recently updated its MYPP in March 2015 . The MYPP identifies many technical barriers that must be overcome through research, development and deployment in order for BETO to meet these overall strategic and performance goals. BETO has issued several Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) to address the technical barriers delineated in the MYPP, and has done so in a way to focus its resources in a limited number of pathways/approaches to ensure that the program initiatives are supported at a critical mass (both in terms of dollars and time) for maximum impact and for the highest probability of success. BETO has communicated its project portfolio in public via the 2013 Peer Review and 2015 Peer Review. However, BETO recognizes that there may be very novel and potentially disruptive ideas that do not necessarily satisfy the requirement of specific FOAs yet still meet BETO&amp;#8217;s goals and mission. The Bioenergy Incubator Program is intended to identify these potentially impactful ideas that are not meaningfully addressed in BETO&amp;#8217;s strategic plan or project portfolio. It is NOT intended to fund projects that are incremental improvements to current products or processes or for established work in BETO&amp;#8217;s strategic plan or current portfolio. BETO is issuing this Incubator 2 FOA to support innovative technologies and solutions that could help meet existing goals but are not currently represented in a significant way in the BETO&amp;#8217;s MYPP and current project portfolio. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. To apply to this FOA, Applicants must register with and submit application materials through EERE Exchange at https://eere-Exchange.energy.gov, EERE&amp;#8217;s online application portal.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this United States ARL RAP PAA is to solicit offers from interested Applicants to establish a program to provide scientists, engineers and postsecondary students of unusual promise and ability opportunities to engage in research on problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the interests of the Government and will potentially contribute to the general efforts of ARL. The RAP will further science and technology through fundamental research, with this research having potentially both civilian and military applications. Under the RAP, scientists, engineers and postsecondary students are sought and selected as Fellows. Selected Fellows will perform fundamental research, applying their knowledge and talents to research areas that are of interest to them and potentially to ARL. A selected Fellow may or may not be an employee of the Recipient1 (i.e., the individual could be a self-employed Fellow), but a selected Fellow will not be an employee of ARL, the Army or the Federal Government. A selected Fellow will not perform any service directly for the benefit or use by ARL, but rather will perform scholarly fundamental research at ARL which should embody original ideas of the individual. To facilitate Fellow selection, the Recipient will execute a competitive application process that involves an individual writing and submitting a research proposal for evaluation under the RAP. ARL will also participate in this application process by providing a written evaluation of the research proposal. It is important that a research proposal be consistent with, and complements, ARL facilities and interests, supporting or stimulating ARL basic and applied research programs. </Description>

        <Description>A bat monitoring effort at parks within the NPS Northern Great Plains Inventory &amp;amp; Monitoring Network (NGPN) has been initiated. To better complete that work, the NGPN will work with the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD) with the University of Wyoming to .use acoustic monitoring techniques to monitor bats in the summers 2016-2020. The NGPN has already acquired an inventory of Wildlife Acoustics SM3Bat recorders and associated equipment to passively monitor bats from stationary points. In addition, NGPN has acquired Wildlife Acoustic EM3+ recorders and other equipment to conduct road surveys. Use of trade names does not imply endorsement. Monitoring has been done by the NGPN during the summers of 2014 and 2015 and has a monitoring framework and protocol in place. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN WYNDD will use acoustic methods to monitor bats at 6 parks in the Northern Great Plains (Table 1) under the continent-wide multi-agency North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat) sampling frame and protocol. They will also examine the work done by NGPN in 2014-25. The primary objective is to monitor for temporal changes in abundance (as measured by an index of bat flyover activity). Table 1. Parks to be Surveyed Park State NABat Cells # Points # Road Surveys Badlands National Park SD 3 12 6 Jewel Cave National Monument SD 1 4 2 Missouri National Recreation River NE/SD 5 20 10 Niobrara National Scenic River NE 2 8 4 Theodore Roosevelt National Park ND 2 8 4 Wind Cave National Park SD 1 4 2 Total 14 56 28 A total of 14 NABat cells will be monitored. Four passive acoustic recorders will be deployed at points within each NABat cell for four to seven nights. The recorders will be configured to monitor bat activity throughout the night. In addition, at each NABat cell a 25-48 km long vehicle road survey will be conducted at least two nights. The road surveys start 30-45 minutes after sunset with the surveyor driving about 32 kph. A microphone is attached to the roof of the vehicle. The surveys will be conducted in the months of June-August, generally following the schedule in Table 2. WYNDD will strive for as much year-to-year consistency as possible in terms of hardware, settings, and timing of surveys. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Provide a project supervisor competent in bat ecology. The supervisor is responsible for the supervision of the participants, controlling the analysis of the data, and for ensuring that the project is undertaken in a safe manner. 2. Provide necessary training for field personnel. 3. Review data collected by NGPN in 2014 and 2015. The WYNDD staff will meet with a NPS technician representative (Midwest Regional Wildlife Biologist) to review previous work and work on logistics and permits for future work. 4. Maintain frequent contact with the NPS Technical Representative and ATR. 5. WYNDD will conduct point and road surveys in 6 parks for 2016-2020. The field work may be conducted by a student or technician level person, with guidance and oversight by a senior biologist knowledgeable of bat acoustic surveys. 6. WYNDD will systematically collect and store data, including metadata such as deployment dates and times, hardware used, hardware configurations, and other relevant information (contact NGPN for specific data fields and forms).

This task agreement moves the park toward remedying these weaknesses, using the strength of the park&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s collection of Russian American reference material, Congressional designation as the principal location for NPS scholarship on Russian America, and CWU&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s identified scholarship in Russian-American history.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00368 Project Title Enhanced Wetland Monitoring Relative to Ungulate Management in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $29,999.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature through December 31, 2018 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature through December 31, 2018 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; (b); 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs-Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve (GSDNP) is preparing and Ungulate Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (UMP/EIS) and, based on input and advice from the planning team, is to build upon and enhance existing Rocky Mountain Network (ROMN) Wetland Ecological Integrity (WEI) monitoring to provide information for the UMP/EIS and other potential future management actions at GSDNP. This project focuses on evaluating and monitoring the response of wetlands to ungulate management, hydrology and climate change in GSDNP. It will provide scientists, managers and the public with an understanding of how wetland and riparian communities regulated by weather and near surface hydrology respond to recent and greatly increased ungulate use as well as climate change and other stressors. This applies to wetlands in the park and in other areas in the San Luis Valley and other high elevation arid environments. The project also provides research, learning and seasonal employment opportunities for current and recent undergraduate and graduate students who will conduct the fieldwork. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Cooperatively with the Wetlands Program of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) at Colorado State Univ. (CSU) plan for and implement enhanced wetland monitoring. The CHNP Wetlands Program has many years of experience monitoring wetlands in the San Luis Valley and across Colorado. CNHP is also very familiar with GSDNP having been a partner with NPS and others to complete the GSDNP vegetation map and inventory. The objectives of this Task Agreement include a draft enhanced wetland monitoring plan of wetlands relative to the UMP/EIS; a first round of field monitoring (at ~40 wetland sites); a certified dataset for those sites, and a report detailing the analysis of the data relative to ungulates in GSDNP. The report will include draft ecological thresholds and/or management assessment points. The results of this work will include estimates of wetland status and ecological thresholds and management assessment points. The results are intended to inform the UMP/EIS process and content. The results are also intended to help park staff, scientists and the public understand the dynamics of hydrology, vegetation and ungulates, and how wetland and riparian systems could respond to climate change, ungulate management, and potential future management actions such as hydrological restoration (e.g., removing wells or ditches). RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Work with the NPS ROMN to collaboratively adapt the ROMN Wetland Ecological Integrity Monitoring protocol to inform the UMP/EIS process and content. 2. Provide a field crew to conduct the work. 3. Recruit, train and supervise field technicians assigned to the project. Ensure that crew members have good botanical ID skills and are able to work safely in the remote back country of GSDNP. 4. Work with NPS-ROMN data management staff to adapt the ROMN WEI database so it can manage the field data collected during this project. This may involve providing insight and advice on CNHP data management approaches and sources of information useful for wetland monitoring (e.g. sources of reliable and up-to-date vascular plant species information for the SLV and Colorado). 5. Work with NPS-ROMN to QA/QC field data so the ROMN can &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;certify&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; and share the data w/partners and stakeholders (e.g. GSDNP staff and the UMP team). 6. Work with NPS-ROMN to analyze and interpret the data and publish the information as a report in the NPS Natural Resource Publication Management series and in scholarly journals. CNHP&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s participation in this task will be primarily through a data analysis and interpretation workshop with participants from GSDNP, the UMP team, CSU, USGS, and others). NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT 1. Provide financial assistance for this Task Agreement. 2. Work with the CSU/CNHP PI to adapt the ROMN WEI monitoring protocol to GSDNP to inform the UMP/EIS process and content, potential future hydrological restoration, and ecological integrity of wetlands in GSDNP. 3. Provide training for field technicians in ROMN WEI monitoring as well as backcountry travel and safety training for working in GSDNP. 4. Lead the data management effort needed to achieve the goals and products of this Task Agreement. 5. Provide statistical analysis and interpretation of data and ensure that results are peer reviewed and published in the NPS National Resource Publication Management Series and, as appropriate, scholarly journals. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) Continuation This is a Task Agreement (P15AC01707) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) in the amount of $29,999.00 with a period of performance from date of award until 12/31/2018. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State University and the NPS is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network&amp;quot;. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00367 Project Title Evaluation of the Response to the Centennial Find Your Park campaign Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $40,129.00 Cost Share None Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature until 12/31/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature until 12/31/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; (b); 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs-Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Project Description: The National Park Service is celebrating its Centennial anniversary in 2016. As a part of this celebration the NPS has launched the &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Find Your Park&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; campaign to &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;connect with and create the next generation of visitors, advocates, and supporters.&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The target audience for the centennial campaign is millennials (people born between the early 1980s and 2000s. This audience is deeply involved in social media and as a part of the centennial campaign the NPS is focusing a lot of effort into reaching its target audience through these venues. Through the FindYourPark.com website, the NPS is asking users to &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Share Your Story&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; about how they found their park. The public is also contributing to other social media venues not managed by the NPS and sharing how they feel about, think about, and understand parks. At the same time, the NPS is developing content for its audiences to respond to. This project will examine how the public produces content for social media about the NPS and compare their content to the posts developed by the NPS. As a result the NPS will gain a better understanding of what content resonates with online audiences in order improve its ability to connect with the next generation. The primary focus of this project is public outreach, education and communications. The project assists in evaluation of social media content. Evaluation of content will produce recommendations for the NPS to develop social media content that is more relevant to its audience. The public will benefit from more targeted content that engages them fully in the relevance and stewardship of their national parks. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The purpose of this project is to assess relevancy of NPS social media offerings related to the Centennial Find Your Park campaign. In August 2016, the NPS will celebrate its 100th birthday, known as the Centennial. As part of this celebration, NPS has rolled out a &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Find Your Park&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; campaign that invites members of the public to share their stories about what parks mean to them through various venues. A central concern of the Centennial campaign and other recent NPS initiatives is relevancy. To what degree does the NPS mission and messaging resonate with today&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s public? While a number of performance metrics are being developed for the Centennial campaign, most are related to number of visits (both in person and virtual) and awareness and knowledge of the campaign. There are no planned evaluations of the content posted by the public in comparison to content created and served by NPS. Social media content analysis could offer a low cost method of assessing some aspects of relevancy and result in guidance for future messaging efforts. This project will develop a research protocol for analyzing user-driven and NPS-driven content and perform an analysis natural resource-related content. Content analysis is a social science method that systematically analyzes the content of text, images, audio, and video for themes relevant to a research question. The research team develops a protocol for sampling content, creates codes that represent relevant themes, and ensures reliability between coders. Example research questions: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; how are natural resource stewardship and science topics discussed by visitors vs. NPS? &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; what natural resource subjects are most often discussed? &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; what topics (subject) or types (photos, questions) generate the most engagement (likes, shares, comments, etc.)? Comparing the codes associated with user-driven content vs. NPS-driven content would give us a measure of how well our existing communication content is aligned with the way today&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s audiences think about and discuss experiences in parks and nature. Content analysis gives us an objective way to assess how the public connects to the NPS parks and programs and finds meaning in the value and mission of the NPS. By understanding what resonates with virtual visitors, NPS can ensure the web-based content we create in the future better reflects relevancy, diversity, and inclusion of all of American society so that we remain seen as a credible steward of our nation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s cultural and natural heritage. This project helps the NPS achieve its centennial goal of connecting and creating the next generation of visitors, advocates, and supporters by improving our understanding of how our target Activities: 1. Content analysis of social media posted by visitors to Share Your Story, hitRecord, and other venues created by or resulting from the Find Your Park Centennial campaign; 2. Comparison to content analysis of social media created and posted by NPS; 3. Develop recommendations for future messaging to better resonate with today&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s NPS audiences, identify underserved audiences. Outcomes: 1. Evaluation of social media engagement stemming from Centennial campaign; 2. NPS communication content more aligned with today&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s audiences. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT CSU agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Consult with NPS when they have developed a research protocol based on current research practices that could be applied to various topics of interest to the NPS &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Implement the research protocol for natural resource topics &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide recommendations on the development of social media content to communicate natural resource topics, including messages and product templates &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Produce and present a final report summarizing project outcomes and recommendations &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Collaborate with NPS to resent the findings to NPS web managers and centennial coordinators. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Facilitate connections between NPS staff and Colorado State University. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Collaborate on identification of social media venues, NPS topics, centennial partners, and significant centennial events &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide guidance and review research protocol and products to ensure compatibility with NPS mission, policies, and standards &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Review final products &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Meet regularly with CSU to provide guidance and input on project-related objectives and outcomes &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Organize presentations of results for NPS web managers and centennial coordinators.

        <Description>The States of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico (Upper Division States), through UCRC, have been working in parallel with Arizona, California and Nevada (Lower Division States) and public entities within the Colorado River Basin, and in conjunction with the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), to develop and implement drought contingency options, as appropriate, to avoid or reduce the likelihood of reaching critical reservoir elevations at either Lake Powell or Lake Mead. On July 16, 2013, Don Ostler, Executive Director of UCRC, testified before a Senate Subcommittee, &amp;#8220;The Colorado River Basin remains in a very severe 14 year drought, the continuation of which could drive Lake Powell to levels that threaten the ability to generate electrical power and Lake Mead to levels that require implementation of shortages within a few years.&amp;#8221; Reclamation intends to award funds to UCRC that Congress appropriated in the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriates Act of 2015 in the form of &amp;#8220;(1) grants by the Secretary to public entities that use water from the Colorado River Basin for municipal purposes for projects that are implemented by 1 or more non-Federal entities; or (2) grants or other appropriate financial agreements to provide additional funds for renewing or implementing water conservation agreements that are in existence on the date of enactment of this Act.</Description>

An AmeriCorps member is an individual who engages in community service through an approved national service position. Members may receive a living allowance and other benefits while serving. Upon successful completion of their service, members earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award from the National Service Trust that members can use to pay for higher education expenses or apply to qualified student loans.Grant awards have two components: operating funds and AmeriCorps member positions. Grant award amounts vary &amp;#8211; both in the level of operating funds and in the type and amount of AmeriCorps member positions.Unless otherwise specified, the grant generally covers a three-year project period. In approving a multi-year project period, CNCS generally makes an initial award for the first year of operation. In most cases, the application is submitted with a one-year budget. Continuation funding is not guaranteed.Contact: americorpsgrants@cns.gov202-606-7508</Description>

Authorization to submit proposals through www.grants.gov is a multi-step process that requires prior successful registration with DUNS, NCAGE, SAM, and www.grants.gov. I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan (PAS Ashgabat) is pleased to announce an open competition for a grant agreement award through this Request for Proposals (RFP). PAS Ashgabat invites U.S. non-profit/non-governmental organizations to submit cultural exchange in music education concept papers. Non-governmental organizations, specializing in international cultural exchange are encouraged to apply. The Public Affairs will have approximately $25,000 to $65,000 available to award one grant. II. BACKGROUND PAS seeks to advance universal values through capacity development, teaching reforms, and accountable governance. One of PAS&amp;#8217;s highest strategic priorities in Turkmenistan is broadenings access to information and educational opportunities to boost human capacity across government and society at large. PAS has successfully programmed a wide range of performances and workshops in a variety of American music genres and instruments in Turkmenistan. These programs have generated interest at the National Conservatory of Turkmenistan and the Turkmen State Institute of Culture, which requested Embassy to organize a teaching exchange program, through which Turkmen students and faculty will have a chance to work and learn from American music teachers/professionals in a series of master-classes. PAS proposes two to three consecutive 7-day programs that include two to four American teachers of music coming to Turkmenistan to conduct music classes for the students of both the Turkmen National Conservatory and the Turkmen State Institute of Culture. The programs will take place during the academic year 2015-2016 and will be spread throughout the second half of 2015 and the first half of 2016 to allow sufficient time for the American music experts to work with aspiring young musicians. Most of the students will become teachers of music at various music schools in Turkmenistan, thus this program has a multiplier long term impact for Turkmenistan. Objectives The proposed program will directly meet PAS&amp;#8217;s strategic goals and objectives. Music and training programs address the following goal and objectives, specified in Post&amp;#8217;s latest Integrated Country Strategy: Goal 3: Advanced universal values through capacity development, reforms, and accountable governance. Objective 3.1: Broadened access to information and educational opportunities boost human capacity across government and society at large. Sub-Objective 3.1.1: Expanded access to information and exchanges contribute to a better informed, more productive, integrated, and stable society. Other public diplomacy goals to be addressed include: 1. Strengthening people to people ties between the United States and Turkmenistan. 2. Strengthening local partners to build long-term, self-sustaining relationships and Institutional linkages between U.S. and Turkmenistani producers, artists and organizations. 3. Showcase American values and counter anti-Americanism. Funding Priorities PAS seeks to fund cultural and educational projects in Turkmenistan that specifically contribute to the Post&amp;#8217; Integrated Country Strategy. Please note that no application will be favorably considered if it fails to address the PAS&amp;#8217;s goals and objectives. III. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Eligibility is limited to not-for-profit organizations subject to 501 (c) (3) of the tax code. Direct funding for non-U.S. institutions is not available under this announcement. The Department encourages organizations that have not previously received international program funding from the USG to apply under this announcement (see &amp;#8220;Eligibility&amp;#8221; on page 1). Applicants are not required to include funding from other donors. However, applications that include additional in-kind and/or cash contributions from non-U.S. Government sources will be more competitive, since cost-sharing demonstrates a strong commitment to the planned activities and will be considered to show great cost effectiveness.

        <Description>The purpose of the project is to collect and analyze high-resolution hyperspectral and LiDAR data to map the severity of drought effects on mature giant sequoia trees and surrounding forest, assess confidence in the results using available ground data, and evaluate next steps to improve methodology. Investigators from Carnegie Institution of Washington, NPS staff, and other partners will collaborate to accomplish the following project objectives. This agreement initially funds Phase 1 work, but may be modified to add future phases, subject to the availability of funding and satisfactory progress of project work. Please see attached work plan. Phase 1 objectives: 1. Contribute state-of -the-art, high-resolution hyperspectral and LiDAR imagery data collected during drought conditions from giant sequoia mixed conifer forests (i.e., study areas identified in work plan). 2. Analyze these remotely sensed data to produce high-resolution moisture stress indices for mature giant sequoia trees and surrounding forest. The indices calculated from the high-resolution imagery will provide information directly related to water content in the canopy, canopy greenness and canopy structure. Map these indices across the study area. 3. Determine relationships between remotely sensed canopy anomalies and ground-based observations of canopy drought stress. 4. Interpret the findings and confidence. Understanding the findings will rely on understanding the type and extent of drought impacts on the forest canopy with respect to the anomalies in the mapped data products. 5. Assess prospects for the future of mapping grove moisture stress vulnerabilities. Future phase objectives: 6. Objectives are to be determined based on project results, availability of other relevant data, and funding availability. These objectives could include testing and applying improved methodology or extending geographic or temporal scales of measurements and analyses. </Description>

        <Description>Sitka National Historical Park is one of only two national historical parks in the Alaska Region. One of the park&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s primary legislated significance is to commemorate the expansion of the Russian Empire into Alaska, and the lasting influence that expansion has had on the political, social, and economic life of Alaska and the United States, more broadly, through the purchase of Russian interests in Alaska in 1867. The primary physical asset---and interpretive setting---for explaining the legislated significance is the Russian Bishops House. As a historical park, there is a presumption that Sitka NHP will maintain an active history program that continuously contributes to scholarship and understanding of the Russian American period in Alaska, among other topics. Park managers have generally been active in pursuing funding, organizing and conducting conferences, and sponsoring studies that contribute to scholarship. However, there has been less emphasis on building a program of historical scholarship. To address this, park managers commissioned a recent study (Allan 2015) that evaluated the program and made substantive suggestions about what studies would contribute the most to improving visitor understanding of Russian America and the relationship of Russian expansion to changes in Tlingit, Haida, and Aleut lifeways---and the broader scope of American history. Additionally, there have been discussions between park managers and the OHA on what joint projects might best represent the influence of the Alaska Purchase on American history. The Office of History and Archeology for the State of Alaska is the designated repository for information related to archeological and historical sites across the state. It has National Historical Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 responsibilities to review projects funded with federal funds, maintains the states master files on historical sites throughout the State of Alaska, and inventories state lands for sites, among other functions. Of the historical periods that are unique to Alaska, the Russian occupation and colonization is one that sets the state apart from other states in the US, and it has been the focus of ongoing work both at OHA and other state institutions (e.g. University of Alaska, Fairbanks). Currently, the OHA has one Russian-speaker on staff, as well as several other staff members with over ten years&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; experience each researching Russian American sites and topics. The office currently employs the author of Sitka NHP&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s administrative history (Antonson 1998), making oversight of the project even more robust. The combination of easy access to the state site files, state archives, and experienced personnel, make the OHA a good partner to conduct research with Sitka NHP and develop joint products to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Alaska Purchase. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Project Title Design and assess communication efforts for natural sounds, night skies and biological topics, management activities, and issues Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $186,559.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature to December 31, 2017 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature to December 31, 2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; (b); 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs-Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Project Description: The purpose of this project is to design, implement, and assess public communication efforts that support understanding and stewardship of natural sound and night skies resources. The primary focus of this project is public outreach, education and communications. The project assists in the creation, promotion, facilitation, and improvement communication products that increase public understanding of natural sounds and night sky resources and related natural resource topics. This project will provide significant benefit to the public; it will focus on distilling and refining technical information and reformatting it into a context that will be easy to digest and retrieve by the public through various communication channels and partnerships. The resulting products will be distributed to the public via web, print and social media, publications, and partnerships. In addition, this project will involve students in the development of the materials, introducing them to the value of soundscapes as well as providing them with experiential opportunities. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Background The protection of natural and cultural sounds and night skies in national parks is mandated by legislation and NPS Management Policies, and is a relatively new field in resource management. Sources of noise and light pollution often are outside of park boundaries, requiring productive relationships with stakeholders to conserve or restore these resources. Accordingly, effective communication and outreach is emerging as a crucial function for the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division (NSNSD). The goal of this project is to provide guidance and technical support for refining and implementing the communication strategy that NSNSD developed. This includes creating some communication products and evaluating their effectiveness in reaching the intended audiences. The evaluative component guides the project&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s recommendations regarding future investments in staff and funding to realize a sustainable and effective communication program. Communication products could include improving their web and developing a social media presence; supporting youth initiatives that raise awareness of these resources among the next generation of park supporters, visitors, and advocates; communication of NSNSDs work both internal and external to the NPS; and identifying and developing partnerships that will enhance the work of NSNSD. Through this project CSU will also provide guidance and technical assistance in communicating other natural resource topics. Objectives 1. Assess the NSNSD communication plan and identify priority products. 2. Create and deploy initial communication products. 3. Assess the effectiveness of those products based on current research recommendations 4. Recommend staffing and funding levels for a sustainable and effective communication program. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT CSU agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Work with CSU Communication and Creative Services to produce video projects. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; CSU will collaborate with NPS to prioritize and implement a range of tactics identified in the communication plan and recommend additional communication approaches. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide guidance, technique expertise, and support on the development of communication products. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Make recommendations for communication strategies and implement preliminary product designs that will facilitate public understanding and engagement in natural sound and night sky resources. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Assess and potentially revise the NSNSD communications strategy and make recommendations for a sustainable, effective, divisional communications program. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Consult with NPS when establishing priorities and deadlines for communications products. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT D. NPS agrees to: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Collaborate in the development of communication products and incorporate products into NPS communication channels. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Participate in regular project review meetings with CSU partners. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Work with CSU to refine strategies and communication products &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide guidance and review products to ensure compatibility with NPS mission, policies, and standards. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Review science communication products for accuracy.

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. OVERVIEW: Cooperative Agreement Number P14AC00728 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, (NPS), and Colorado State University for the purpose of providing research, technical assistance, and/or education. As part of a larger effort to communicate credible and useful science-based information regarding resource conditions and resource management issues in national park units and surrounding landscapes, the NPS Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Directorate (NRSS) manages a number of public communication venues: e.g., &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;NRR report series, Resource Briefs, and Park Science. In this project, the NRSS and Colorado State University (CSU) will collaborate to maintain and strengthen the quality and effectiveness of NRSS resource condition reporting through these venues. Project work includes: a) document layout review, reformatting, and technical editing support to publish reports that conform to NRSS publication standards and good technical journalism practices; and b) applied research to evaluate and recommend communication techniques, templates, and examples that enhance message delivery (re: resource conditions in parks and surrounding landscapes) to a variety of public audiences. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The NRSS provides a wide array of science and resource management support to parks and NPS partners and cooperators throughout the country. Relevance and usefulness of this support depends, in part, on the ability to effectively communicate science-based information to a variety of audiences. Because these audiences can have varied information needs and interests, it is important for NRSS to develop and practice flexibility regarding the format, level of detail, and/or method of delivery of science-based information to interested audiences. All of the work conducted in this project directly supports delivery of credible science-based information that is relevant and useful to the public and park managers. The project will accomplish this through a variety of NRSS publication support tasks as well as through applied research designed to enhance effectiveness of message delivery. In this project, NRSS and CSU will collaborate to undertake document layout review and reformatting support, as well as technical editing support, as needed to finalize and publish 40 or more NRSS reports during the period of this Agreement. For most of these reports, CSU students will also participate in developing abstracts that serve the purpose of communicating key report findings and messages in ways that are meaningful and useful to non-technical audiences. To strengthen future NRSS resource reporting, the Recipient and NRSS will collaborate to investigate effectiveness of message delivery for park resource condition information commonly found in NRSS reports (e.g., specific types of tables, figures, and public briefing materials). This will involve identifying outcomes of interest among the population studied (e.g., likelihood of behavior adoption, thinking more deeply about the issue, or discussing it with others) and understanding how different communication styles (e.g., statistical vs. anecdotal; text-based vs. visual) influences those outcomes. This study component will include surveys or other forms of engagement with park managers and interpreters (and possibly the public) to gauge effectiveness of message delivery. It will also develop practical recommendations and examples for how NRSS could improve message delivery in future NRSS resource documents. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT - provide Research Associates and students under the Principal Investigator; - assist the NPS in finalizing NRSS publications that conform to NRSS publication standards and good technical journalism practices; - work with NRSS report authors, as appropriate, to accomplish review, reformatting, and/or technical editing needed to finalize NRSS publications; - prepare final research reports, recommendations, plans, and other products for the NPS; - work collaboratively with NPS staff, affiliates, academia, and the public (as appropriate) to produce information and communication-related products targeted to a variety of audiences; - contribute to enhanced and effective public messaging of park resource condition information to public audiences; - ensure products will comply with Section 508 (36 CFR Part 1194 Subpart C Section 31 and Subpart D Section 41) to the extent possible; and - provide monthly invoices paid upon receipt. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT: - collaborate with CSU Research Associates, faculty, and students; - provide support for this project; - assign the NPS ATR; - train and mentor CSU Research Associates and students, under the supervision of the Principle Investigator; - provide templates for use in report publication; - provide guidance on priorities and deadlines for tasks conducted under this project; - participate in design and execution of applied research tasks conducted under this project; - review all products and processes to ensure they attain their purposes and follow quality control procedures. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: This is a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00728). </Description>

While the WGPs were developed in the general context of conservation, application to current governance practices of specific agencies or to specific topics is yet to occur. This task agreement will investigate the applicability of the WGPs to wildlife health management STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Through literature review and a series of sessions involving wildlife health professionals, wildlife managers, and human dimensions specialists, an explanation of how wildlife health is essential to long-term sustainability of the wildlife resource and addressing how wildlife health is imperative to management of wildlife as a public trust resource. This agreement will apply the WGPs as a framework for considering multiple perspectives and adopting processes that enable NPS to address wildlife health challenges that span social and ecological boundaries. This process is to be applied to a broad model of wildlife health and tiered to specific issue(s), such as management of zoonotic diseases (diseases shared between humans and other animals), diseases shared between wildlife and domestic livestock (e.g., brucellosis), or even the reproductive control of wildlife. Project schedule and objectives: Literature review (September 2015) Workshop to evaluate current NPS wildlife health governance practices in relation to WGPs (August 2016) Dependent on the availability of funds to add to this agreement through a modification, conduct a second workshop to apply a general model to specific NPS wildlife health issues (December 2016) Prepare a report on findings for submission to scientific journal(s) (March 2017) RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Collaboratively undertake a project titled &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;The Role of Wildlife Health in Management of Wildlife as a Public Trust Resource&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; as described in this task agreement. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Work cooperatively with NPS to develop workshop agenda and participant list, and to implement the workshop. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Conduct follow-up discussions with NPS to identify specific NPS wildlife health issues for investigation, and if funds exist, conduct second workshop cooperatively with NPS. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Work cooperatively with NPS to write-up project findings for publication. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Identify appropriate NPS employees for participation in workshop(s). &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Collaborate on all phases of scientific investigation, including preparation of the manuscript for publication. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide funding any workshop(s) that may be held for this project. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Provide for the cost of publication of reports and manuscripts related to this project.

        <Description>The R40 MCH Research Program supports translational and applied research on critical issues affecting maternal and child health, including services for children with special health care needs. Research should advance the current knowledge pool, and when implemented in states and communities should result in health and health services improvements. Findings from the research supported by the MCH Research Program are expected to strengthen and expand topics addressed by the new MCH Block Grant National Performance Priority Areas, and the populations they serve (see Appendix C). For more background materials on the Block Grant Transformation, see: http://mchb.hrsa.gov/programs/titlevgrants/index.html. The R40 MCHR will support research that addresses MCHB Strategic Research Issues such as how to improve public health systems and infrastructure, reduce health disparities, increase quality of care, and/or promote the health of MCH populations. Addressing at least one of the four MCHB Strategic Research Issues (see Appendix A) is part of Review Criterion 1, Need, and is worth up to 10 points. By supporting research on HRSA/MCHB program populations(1), the R40 MCHR program is strategically tied to HRSA/MCHB investments and programs. The &amp;#8220;life course perspective&amp;#8221; is currently being integrated into MCHB&amp;#8217;s strategic directions, and can serve as a helpful frame of reference for study proposals designed to address the critical MCH questions defined by the Bureau. Research projects should demonstrate rigorous scientific methodology. R40 MCHR recipients will complete the following major activities: &amp;#183; Recipients will conduct applied research on critical MCH issues; &amp;#183; Recipients will disseminate findings through development of at least three peer-reviewed publications and other dissemination activities including conference presentations, newsletter articles, webcasts, fact sheets, infographics, policy briefs and website and social media posts, as appropriate; Recipients will demonstrate a plan to advance the transfer of findings into practice by disseminating findings, reports, and/or award project outputs to key target audiences, including researchers, providers, State Title V and children with special health care needs programs and other program(s) serving HRSA/MCHB populations, policymakers, families and the general public. Supported research will achieve the aims of the program by generating new knowledge on critical MCH issues that will advance the evidence base and promote the transfer of findings to improve practice.</Description>

        <Description>The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has issued, on behalf of the Technology-to-Market Team in the Office of Strategic Programs, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001371 entitled &amp;#8220;Solar Decathlon Program Administrator.&amp;#8221; All applications must be submitted through EERE Exchange (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/). The FOA will support the Obama administration&amp;#8217;s commitment to improving the nation&amp;#8217;s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education efforts, and to building a more knowledge-intensive workforce. The DOE and EERE are eager to create and support education and workforce development programs that are specific to applied energy, and are essential to carrying out DOE&amp;#8217;s mission and advancing energy technologies for the future. The Solar Decathlon is a high-profile DOE-branded education and workforce development program for university-level students. The two-year program culminates in a competition among 20 solar-powered, high efficiency houses designed and built by multidisciplinary collegiate teams. The competition also serves as a public demonstration of EERE technologies. It promotes energy efficiency and increases awareness about residential energy use, fostering greater adoption of clean energy technologies. The competition demonstrates that an aesthetically beautiful and well-designed house can generate enough thermal and electrical energy to meet the needs of a single-family household. Held bi-annually since 2002 &amp;#8212; first in Washington, D.C. and then in Irvine, California &amp;#8212; 65,000-100,000 people visit the Solar Decathlon to tour the houses and see student teams&amp;#8217; use of EERE technologies in action. More information about past Solar Decathlons is available at http://www.solardecathlon.gov/. DOE intends to select one recipient to receive $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 to organize, manage, and conduct the Solar Decathlon competitions in 2017 and 2019. This Solar Decathlon Program Administrator will disperse $2,000,000 in prize money to the selected 2017 competitors. The FOA includes the following Area of Interest: Solar Decathlon Program Administrator Selection - DOE intends to select one recipient to organize, manage, and conduct the Solar Decathlon competitions in 2017 and 2019. This includes identifying and providing the competition location/venue, soliciting sponsorships, hosting the competitions, awarding prize money to the competitors, and promoting the mission and goals of DOE&amp;#8217;s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy through educational programs and outreach. A key near-term requirement will be to identify a new location/venue for the Solar Decathlon. The successful Program Administrator applicant will promote the educational, economic, and energy security benefits of energy efficiency and renewable energy by demonstrating that the technology can be deployed effectively in the host community and elsewhere. By showcasing EERE technologies, this event should help launch additional workforce development and renewable energy activities both nationally and in the area that hosts the Decathlon. In addition to increasing public awareness, this event should stimulate the local economy by attracting visitors to the event. EERE envisions making one financial assistance award in the form of a cooperative agreement. The estimated period of performance for the Solar Decathlon Program Administrator Selection award will be approximately four years. EERE issued the FOA DE-FOA-0001371 via the EERE Exchange website (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/). If Applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding this planned FOA, they should register in EERE Exchange. Applications will be accepted only through EERE Exchange. Applications will not be accepted through Grant.gov. Organizations interested in applying to the 2017 Solar Decathlon College Team Competition Announcement should refer to DE-FOA-0001398 in EERE Exchange.</Description>

        <Description>The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), invites grant applications for funding Education and Research Centers (ERCs) that are focused on occupational safety and health training, research training, education and outreach. NIOSH is mandated to provide an adequate supply of qualified personnel to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the ERCs are one of the principal means for meeting this mandate. ERCs are academic institutions that provide high-quality interdisciplinary graduate training, research training, continuing education, and outreach in the core occupational safety and health disciplines of industrial hygiene (IH), occupational health nursing (OHN), occupational medicine residency (OMR), and occupational safety (OS), as well as closely related allied disciplines. Research and research training are integral components of ERCs, with ERC faculty and NIOSH trainees conducting research on issues related to the NIOSH National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA). The ERCs also serve as regional resources for industry, labor, government, and the public.</Description>

        <Description>The R40 MCH SDAS program supports applied research relating to maternal and child health services that exclusively utilizes secondary analysis of existing national databases and/or administrative records. These projects should have the potential to improve health services and delivery of care for maternal and child health populations. Findings from the research supported by the MCH Research Program are expected to strengthen and expand topics addressed by the new MCH Block Grant National Performance Priority Areas, and the populations they serve (see Appendix C). For more background materials on the Block Grant Transformation, see: http://mchb.hrsa.gov/programs/titlevgrants/index.html. The R40 MCH SDAS will support research that addresses MCHB Strategic Research Issues such as how to improve public health systems and infrastructure, reduce health disparities, increase quality of care, and/or promote the health of MCH populations. Addressing at least one of the four MCHB Strategic Research Issues (see Appendix A) is part of Review Criterion 1, Need, and is worth up to 10 points. By supporting research on HRSA/MCHB program populations, the R40 MCH SDAS program is strategically tied to HRSA/MCHB investments and programs. R40 MCH SDAS recipients will complete the following major activities: &amp;#183; Recipients will conduct secondary data analyses using existing national databases and administrative records, using various analytic methods; &amp;#183; Recipients will disseminate findings through development of at least two peer-reviewed manuscripts and other dissemination activities including conference presentations, newsletter articles, webcasts, fact sheets, policy briefs, website and social media posts, as appropriate; &amp;#183; Recipients will demonstrate a plan to advance the transfer of findings, reports, and/or award project outputs to key target audiences, including researchers, providers, State Title V and children with special health care needs programs and other programs serving HRSA/MCHB populations, policymakers, families and the general public.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Buildings Technology Office, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) number DE-FOA-0001385 entitled &amp;#8220;Solutions to Improve the Energy Efficiency of U.S. Small and Medium Commercial Buildings&amp;#8221;. Through this FOA, DOE seeks to fund the scale-up of promising solutions to the market barriers that hinder the growth of energy efficiency in the commercial building sector. The objective of this funding is to build a path for market-ready solutions to be used at scale across the U.S. to improve building energy efficiency. In order for the Building Technologies Office Commercial Building Integration Program to meet DOE&amp;#8217;s national energy efficiency goals for commercial buildings (20% improvement by 2020; 50% by 2030), the program has invested in the development of resources, tools, and solutions designed to help overcome these barriers to energy efficiency. DOE&amp;#8217;s Commercial Building Integration Program is interested in funding proposals that deploy these resources and solutions, through successful existing programs or innovative new ones, to increase program effectiveness and increase energy savings in commercial buildings. The full Notice of Intent DE-FOA-0001389 is posted in the FOA Documents section of this NOI. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE. Please do not submit questions or respond to this Notice of Intent. Prospective applicants to the FOA should begin developing partnerships, formulating ideas, and gathering data in anticipation of the issuance of this FOA. DOE plans to issue the FOA in or around the last calendar quarter in 2015. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system. </Description>

        <Description>The PRORP OCRCA mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. The PRORP OCRCA is intended to support the establishment of a Consortium that consists of multiple organizations and individuals collaboratively working on clinical studies that are focused on improving both acute care treatment outcomes and functional, long-term rehabilitation outcomes of severe musculoskeletal injuries commonly associated with military combat or combat-related activities. The Consortium will consist of a single Coordinating Center in collaboration with multiple military treatment facilities (MTFs) (required) and non-military Clinical Study Sites (encouraged). The Government anticipates that applicants will assemble an expert team from multiple institutions, including, but not limited to, academia, MTFs, other Government agencies, clinical research institutions, industry partners, and not-for-profit enterprises to satisfy the objectives of this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. It is expected that relevant clinical outcomes will require longitudinal evaluations to optimize recovery and restoration of function. At the end of the performance period, it is anticipated that the awardee will establish a strong infrastructure for continuing clinical studies on combat-relevant musculoskeletal injuries and produce products (information, practice guidelines, validated techniques, or devices) that result in changes to, or validation of, current clinical practices that lead to better outcomes for injured Service members, U.S. Veterans, and civilians. All projects should develop a procurement cost estimate for successful treatments so that the military and civilian medical community can conduct a cost-benefit analysis with current practice alternatives, as well as distinguish the optimal cost-effective treatments. Projects must be relevant to the military, have well-defined objectives, control for confounding variables, have a patient population that will allow for an appropriately robust sample size at each Site, be of high quality, and be capable of producing results that are likely to change practice. Studies involving non-military patient populations must describe how they simulate the targeted population (i.e., Armed Forces and/or the U.S. Veteran population). While large, randomized, controlled clinical studies are expected to be part of this multi-institutional Consortium effort, small randomized or pilot clinical trials and observational prospective studies to develop metrics or provide proof of principle to inform future clinical studies are also appropriate. All projects shall be limited to clinical research and clinical trials. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. The term &amp;#8220;human subjects&amp;#8221; is used in this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity to refer to individuals who will be recruited for or who will participate in the proposed clinical trial. Clinical research encompasses studies in which individuals are observed or those where certain outcomes are measured. For more information on how to distinguish clinical research from clinical trials, see the Human Subject Resource Document at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm. Animal studies are excluded from consideration. The Coordinating Center must apply to this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity through a single application, and may also serve as a Study Site. The PRORP OCRCA resulting from this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity will be issued as a cooperative agreement between the recipient (Coordinating Center) and the Government. The Government will have substantial involvement in the Consortium through a Government Steering Committee (GSC) and U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) staff interactions with the Consortium. The GSC will review research priorities and make recommendations to the Grants Officer&amp;#8217;s Representative (GOR) for the GOR&amp;#8217;s consideration, with ultimate approval decisions made by the USAMRAA Grants Officer (GO). Award funds will be used to support the Coordinating Center&amp;#8217;s efforts as well as Consortium-associated studies at the Clinical Study Sites. The Coordinating Center will provide management and funding for the Clinical Study Sites through the appropriate subaward or other instrument.</Description>

        <Description>The Las Vegas Wash (LVW) carries more than 170 million gallons of water a day. Decades ago, the flows of the LVW created more than 2,000 acres of wetlands. By the 1990&amp;#8217;s, only about 200 acres of wetlands remained. The dramatic loss of vegetation reduced both the LVW&amp;#8217;s ability to support wildlife and serve as a natural filer for water that flows to Lake Mead, the source of our community&amp;#8217;s water supply. As the lead agency of the Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee (LVWCC), the SNWA has been implementing revegetation projects in the Clark County Wetlands Park for more than 14 years. Due to the impact on wetlands by the installation of erosion control structures throughout the LVW, the SNWA conducts wetland revegetation to mitigate for that loss as required by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permits. Ground disturbance within the temporary footprint of the construction activities surrounding the wetland areas requires revegetation to comply with Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) stormwater permits. Other funding obtained to assist in the construction of erosion control structures requires the creation of additional revegetation areas not already being created for permit mitigation. Revegetation sites require frequent visitation, oversight and occasional remediation often for a minimum of two years after initial planting. Such activities include but are not limited to irrigation, adjustment of irrigation components, herbivore control, the sporadic removal of vegetative debris and/or other debris deposited by storms and natural events, and invasive species removal when required to benefit the site. After the initial two years, oversight is typically less intensive and occurs on an &amp;#8220;as-needed&amp;#8221; basis. To properly document and report the success of mitigation to permitting agencies, annual monitoring must take place for revegetated sites. Annual monitoring of the success of the various irrigation practices, planting techniques and plant choices provides the LVWCC with pertinent information to make future decisions that will improve the success of the revegetation program. </Description>

By the 1990&amp;#8217;s, only about 200 acres of wetlands remained. The dramatic loss of vegetation reduced both the LVW&amp;#8217;s ability to support wildlife and serve as a natural filer for water that flows to Lake Mead, the source of our community&amp;#8217;s water supply. The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) has been regularly monitoring the LVW and its tributary water quality for more than a decade through various programs. These programs were implemented to fulfill LVW Comprehensive Adaptive Management Plan (LVWCAMP) Action Items 40 and 41. &amp;#8226; Action Item 40 - Develop long-term management and monitoring plans &amp;#8226; Action Item 41 - Conduct additional research In order to better coordinate water quality monitoring activities in the LVW by various agencies and to prevent duplication, the Las Vegas Wash Surface Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Plan was developed and implemented by the SNWA and cooperating agencies in 2011. With this plan, financial and human resources were comprehensively coordinated so that both the individual goals of the stakeholders and the cumulative goals of the LVWCAMP were achieved. This plan also helped the involved entities develop and maintain strong collaborative partnerships. Water quality monitoring activities in the LVW and its tributaries have since been coordinated and integrated effectively among different entities. Water quality data collected by each sampling entity has been uploaded into a centralized water quality database (the Lower Colorado River Water Quality Database) that is readily accessible by professionals and public users. </Description>

By the 1990&amp;#8217;s, only about 200 acres of wetlands remained. The dramatic loss of vegetation reduced both the LVW&amp;#8217;s ability to support wildlife and serve as a natural filer for water that flows to Lake Mead, the source of our community&amp;#8217;s water supply. In 1997, a citizen&amp;#8217;s advisory committee made recommendations to manage and protect the LVW. While many area organizations were concerned with the LVW&amp;#8217;s deterioration state, no single agency was responsible for managing it. To bring these interests together, the LVW Coordination Committee (LVWCC) was formed. The LVWCC includes representatives from more than two dozen local, state and Federal agencies, environmental groups, business owners, and concerned citizens. The committee&amp;#8217;s goal was two-fold: Develop a long-term management plan for the LVW, and oversee implementation of the plan. The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) was appointed as the lead agency in effectuating the LVWCC&amp;#8217;s mission and to meet this goal, the SNWA formed the LVW Project Coordination Team to lead the effort. Within two years, the committee completed the LVW Comprehensive Adaptive Management Plan, a several hundred page roadmap that includes 44 specific action items related to water quality, habitat management, erosion control, and other key LVW issues. The LVWC also created internal study teams and an advisory committee, the Management Advisory Committee, now known as the Lass Vegas Valley Watershed Advisory Committee.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the NHLBI Career Transition Award (K22) program is to provide highly qualified postdoctoral fellows in the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research the opportunity to transition of their research programs as new investigators to extramural institutions.. To achieve these objectives, the NHLBI Career Transition Award will support two phases of research: a mentored intramural phase (up to two years) and an extramural phase (three years), for a total of five years of combined support. Transition from the intramural phase of support to the extramural phase is not automatic. Approval of the transition will be based on the success of the awardee&amp;apos;s research program during the 2-year mentored phase as determined by an NHLBI progress review, which will include an evaluation of a research plan to be carried out at the extramural institution. </Description>

        <Description>The Los Angeles Zoo (LAZ) has reproduced over 170 California condors in its facility since the start of its participation in this program, releasing over 150 of these chicks into the wild. LAZ has also been the main facility to care for and rehabilitate wild birds that have needed treatment for lead poisoning, treating over 240 California condors in the last eight years. Incubation, chick rearing and medical facility are in need of a complete rebuild. This facility is needed to continue our ability to successfully incubate and raise California condors for release to the wild and treat California condors for any health issues that require extended medical care. </Description>

        <Description>Project Description Mercury is a toxic, bioaccumulating, biomagnifying pollutant that threatens ecosystems throughout the United States and has been detected at unexpectedly high levels in remote Alaskan sites far from sources. Information on mercury&amp;#8217;s transport trajectories and wet depositions patterns in Alaska is poorly understood. Mercury accumulation is an issue that transcends jurisdictional boundaries, is particularly impactful to aquatic and wetland ecosystem, and is thus highly relevant to land managers across that state and members of the public that have ties to fish resources. This effort will improve the state of knowledge about mercury deposition patterns across Alaska and inform state-wide mercury deposition monitoring plans. For the past several years, mercury wet deposition samples and analyte data have been collected at 5 sites in Alaska, but the data has not been analyzed, mined for relevant information, or reported on to the public or agencies tasked with managing aquatic resources. During this effort mercury deposition data will be analyzed by a collaborative team from the National Park Service (NPS) and the Desert Research Institute (DRI). A set of the highest mercury deposition event will be selected and backcast trajectories created using NOAA&amp;#8217;s HYSPLIT atmospheric transport model. This will reveal the atmospheric conditions associated with significant deposition events and show where the gaseous mercury originated. A few of the lowest mercury deposition will also be assessed to reveal atmospheric conditions associated with clean conditions. Jointly produced story maps, displaying the story behind mercury deposition events in an easily to digest form, will be produced along with an NPS Natural Resources Report and a NPS-DRI co-authored peer reviewed journal manuscript. This investigation is also being conducted in partnership with the State of Alaska Department of Conservation which is provided some of the NADP mercury data. It address an important issue that has high relevancy beyond the boundaries of national parks and will help inform an important subsistence and recreational resources management issue across jurisdictional boundaries. ARTICLE II &amp;#8211; LEGAL AUTHORITY 54 USC&amp;#167;100703 Cooperative study units The Secretary shall enter into cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, including land grant schools, in partnership with other Federal and State agencies, to establish cooperative study units to conduct multi-disciplinary research and develop integrated information products on the resources of the System, or the larger region of which System units are a part. </Description>

        <Description>CPI formed partnerships with the Town of Granada, the Friends of Amache, Amache Historical Society, and Amache Preservation Society to preserve and interpret the Granada (Amache) Relocation Center National Historic Landmark. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2006, Amache is nationally significant as one of ten relocation centers that incarcerated Japanese Americans during World War II from 1942-2945. After its closure in 1945, all buildings and structures were sold, moved, or destroyed, leaving little historic resources to interpret except for an intact cemetery, roads and building foundations. Following the goals of the 2007 &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Conceptual Develop Plan and Interpretive Plan&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; of the site, CPI completed projects to reconstruct a guard and water tower at Amache to further preservation and interpretation of this significant National Historic Landmark. Recently, CPI initiated a project to reconstruct a historic barrack at Amache, which will serve as an important landmark and tool for interpreting Japanese American residential life at the former relocation center. However, due to the severe weather and winds of the local area, a structural engineer recommended additional stabilization to mitigate wind load risks. The added engineering requirements have created unforeseen costs and complications in revising the structural plans for the barrack project. To assist with these structural engineering efforts and the reconstruction project, CPI has requested the financial and technical assistance of the NPS Heritage Partnerships Program, which includes the National Historic Landmarks Program. The NPS Intermountain Region Heritage Partnerships Program provides technical and financial assistance to partner organizations to encourage the preservation of National Historic Landmarks. Through this task agreement, the NPS and CPI will partner to update the structural plans by mitigating inherent wind load risks and complete the reconstruction per the NPS-reviewed and approved plans.</Description>

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration&amp;#8217;s (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD), in collaboration with the Office of Education (OE) National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (Space Grant) will release the Undergraduate Student Instrument Project (USIP) Student Flight Research Opportunity (SFRO) on or about August 21. USIP-2015 solicits proposals from U.S. institutions of higher education to develop an undergraduate-led Project Team that will fly a science and/or technology payload relevant to NASA strategic goals and objectives on a sounding rocket, balloon, aircraft, suborbital reusable launch vehicle (sRLV), or CubeSat launched on an orbital launch vehicle (hereafter referred to collectively as suborbital-class platforms). The cost cap for an investigation awarded by OE is $200K, including the design, development, integration, and testing of the payload; student internships; and research on key innovative technologies. OE funding is limited to consortia of the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (Space Grant). See Appendix E for proposal conditions and guidelines for Space Grant consortia. The cost cap for an investigation awarded by SMD is $100K, including the design, development, integration, testing of the payload; and student internships. SMD funding is available to all U.S. institutions of higher education. Funding by NASA may be supplemented with contributions by the implementing institution (no limit); however, there are no expectations as to the amount of the institutional contribution and such contributions will not be considered in the evaluation of proposals. The selected projects must be launch-ready within 18 months of project initiation. SMD and OE estimate total funding available for award at $6.0M, and expect to select at least 30 projects for implementation, subject to available funding. The launch/flight services are provided by NASA at no cost to the project. Proposals to the USIP 2017 Solar Eclipse solicitation are not eligible for award under USIP-2015. The two goals of this USIP SFRO are: &amp;#8226; To provide a hands-on flight project experience to enhance the science, technical, leadership, and project skills for the selected undergraduate student team. &amp;#8226; To fly a science and/or technology investigation relevant to NASA strategic goals and objectives on a suborbital-class platform.

        <Description>On June 10, 2014, the President signed into law the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (WRRDA), Public Law 113-121, authorizing completion of a broad array of agency actions and public projects across the United States. As part of WRRDA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service) is authorized, in collaboration with the National Parks Service, and U.S. Geological Survey, to take actions to slow, and eventually eliminate, the spread of Asian carp in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB) and the Ohio River Basin (ORB) and tributaries. Those actions include provision of technical assistance, coordination, best practices, and support to state and local governments engaged in activities to decrease and eliminate the threat.The Service has committed, in part, FY 2015 base funds to the control and elimination of Asian carp from the Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri waters of the UMRB. Other states in the Basin (Iowa and Wisconsin) have chosen no to participate this year in Asian carp control activities in the Basin, funded by the Service. This is notice of intent to award single source grants to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and to the Missouri Department of Conservation without competition under justification 505DM 2.14.B. (4). Competition for the award is not practical as the scope of these projects only these agencies have the authority and resources available to accomplish the Asian carp management and data collection objectives of WRRDA.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Citizen Exchanges of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for cooperative agreements for the FY 2016 Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program: Host Family and School Placement and Monitoring Component. The FLEX program addresses U.S. foreign policy goals by enhancing relations between the United States and the countries of Eurasia, which promotes international understanding of American values. Eurasia includes Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. The FLEX program will provide scholarships for Eurasian high school students to live in American society for an academic year to attend a U.S. high school. In turn, these students will expose U.S. citizens to the culture, traditions, and lifestyles of people in Eurasia. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) are invited to submit proposals to identify host schools; vet, select, and monitor host families; and place and monitor a portion of the students participating in the FLEX program during the 2016-17 academic year.</Description>

        <Description>This project is designed to complete compilation of the PXAO&amp;#8217;s cultural resource report library and associated data for dissemination to and use by qualified professionals and the public. Reclamation is providing this service to make cultural resource reports and data more readily available to the public, including qualified cultural resource professionals, researchers, and state, county, and other Federal land managers, pursuant to the stipulations set forth in the Archeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974. The Center for Digital Antiquity will host these data to on their secure digital platform, tDAR, for reference and use by registered and qualified users. Ultimately the public will benefit from these actions through the digital dissemination of &amp;#8220;grey literature,&amp;#8221; which is not widely available, yet critical to the continued management of cultural resources. The project will contribute to the long-term curation, retention, dissemination, and use of cultural resource data.</Description>

        <Description>Marine Predators were chosen as a priority monitoring indicator, or &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Vital Sign&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; of the Glacier Bay ecosystem, during development of the Southeast Alaska Network (SEAN) Vital Signs Monitoring Plan (Moynahan and Johnson 2008). At the time, it was envisioned that multi-species or community-based methods being employed by the USGS would be utilized to deliver this vital sign monitoring effort. However, initial reviews of these methods revealed that the design yielded low power for detecting trends for any one species (Drew et al. 2008), potentially obscuring important ecosystem responses. As such, the focus eventually transitioned towards selection of suitable indicator species and away from a community-based approach. Initial efforts to rank candidate indicator species included a survey of marine ecologists with experience working in Glacier Bay. Results indicated support for monitoring a variety of species, with the sea otter collectively ranked as the highest priority. Furthermore, prior efforts by the USGS provide a solid foundation for development of a sea otter monitoring protocol for Glacier Bay. For the past two decades, the USGS has maintained a comprehensive research effort quantifying sea otter abundance, sea otter foraging behavior, and benthic invertebrate communities to study the role that colonizing sea otters may have in Glacier Bay (Esslinger et al. 2013, Bodkin et al. 2007, Estes &amp;amp; Duggins 1995; Donnellan et al. 2004; Bodkin et al. 2007; Weitzman et al. 2013). Sea otters were extirpated from southeastern Alaska by commercial fur hunting prior to 1911 and later reintroduced by the State of Alaska in the 1960&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s. Following reintroduction, sea otter populations grew exponentially in southeastern Alaska, eventually expanding into Glacier Bay around 1993. Since that point, sea otter abundance has grown at an unprecedented rate of 42% per year (Esslinger et al. 2013). Strong effects of sea otter predation on nearshore community structure have been well-documented in areas of rocky substrate in the North Pacific Ocean (e.g. Estes and Duggins 1995) and there is considerable interest in understanding the potential top-down effects and bottom-up responses of sea otters within Glacier Bay where unconsolidated sediments are more common. This new project builds upon an existing population monitoring data set with the objectives of developing a statistical monitoring framework to produce an adaptive design that maximizes efficiency to estimate sea otter abundance in Glacier Bay as the foundation for understanding both top-down and bottom-up drivers of the nearshore benthic food web. </Description>

        <Description>Operating under the authority of the 1935 Historic Sites Act (54 U.S.C. 320101-06) and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), the National Park Service (hereafter referred to as NPS) administers the National Historic Landmark (NHL) Program, which provides for the identification, documentation, preservation, and interpretation of the Nation&amp;apos;s nationally significant historic buildings, sites, objects, structures, and districts. The NPS Heritage Partnerships Program &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; working in cooperation with the Cooperator, the International Boundary and Water Commission, Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park, and the City of Brownsville &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; seeks to revise the boundary of Fort Brown NHL in Brownsville, Cameron County, Texas, and prepare a new National Historic Landmark nomination for that site. The purpose for the revision of the existing nomination is to encompass the entire area of (or as much as possible with consenting landowners) the original earth fortification and to consider a larger cultural landscape that also includes sites of additional American and Mexican earthworks. The 1986 NHL nomination only addressed the portion of the fort represented by standing earthworks and included only that portion of the fort within the 80 by 170 yard area designated by the NHL. Recent non-invasive archeological investigations and a cultural landscape study reveal substantial subsurface remains of the fort exist as well as the potential for other works related to the siege of Fort Texas to be contained within the cultural landscape.</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the Department, or we), announces the availability of approximately $1 million total costs for one or more cooperative agreements to fund a technical assistance project(s) in Lesotho to improve labor law enforcement. The project will achieve its goal by building the capacity of the labor inspectorate through up to three objectives: 1) improved management of the labor inspectorate and systems for management and service delivery, 2) improved technical and management skills of the labor inspectorate&amp;#8217;s managers and inspectors, and 3) creation of a sustainable training program for new labor inspectors. Funds for this cooperative agreement will be provided to the selected grantee in up to two installments with up to $500,000 total costs being made available upon award by December 31, 2015, for activities under Objective 1 and Objective 2 (phase one). We intend to make up to $500,000 total costs available by December 31, 2017 for continuation of Objective 2 and implementation of Objective 3 (phase two) to the selected grantee. Phase two funding will be contingent on the availability of appropriations and on a determination by ILAB that the implementing environment will allow for successful achievement of the project goal (e.g., a sufficient number of new labor inspectors having been hired by the government of Lesotho to improve the enforcement of labor laws). The project must target the labor inspectorate within the Ministry of Labour and Employment. The duration of the project will be up to two years (24 months) from the effective date of the award with up to an additional two years (24 months) available pending approval of phase two. All applications must address both phase one and phase two. </Description>

        <Description>The USAID/Ghana Democracy Rights and Governance (DRG) and Economic Growth Offices&amp;#8217; new cross sectoral governance project seeks to accelerate governance improvements and manage conflict in support of enhanced agricultural development in Ghana&amp;#8217;s Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions.The purpose of the activity is to increase the capacity of Ghana&amp;#8217;s decentralized agricultural structures at the regional and district levels, improve accountability and performance efficiency of these decentralized agricultural structures, build community consensus, and strengthen civil society&amp;#8217;s demand for better service delivery in agriculture in partnership with the private sector. The activity also has the related purpose of enabling government and civil society to more effectively mitigate conflicts related to agriculture and natural resource management. The activity will engage state actors and CSOs at regional and district levels, including district assemblies, and Regional Coordinating Councils (RCCs), regional houses of chiefs, decentralized agriculture services previously under MOFA, community-based organizations (farmers&amp;#8217; organizations, their federations, women and youth groups), and the private sector in order to improve agricultural outcomes and local economic conditions. </Description>

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00389 Project Title New Geologic Mapping in Little River Canyon National Preserve &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Phase 1 Recipient Auburn University Total Anticipated Award Amount $82500.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature until 8/31/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature until 8/31/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; (b) 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs-Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Cooperative Agreement Number P12AC51051 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Auburn University for the purpose of: 1. Providing research, technical assistance and education to federal land management, environmental and research agencies and their potential partners; 2. Developing a program of research, technical assistance and education that involves the biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences needed to address resources issues and interdisciplinary problem solving at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context at the local, regional, and national level; and 3. Placing special emphasis on the working collaboration among federal agencies and universities and their related partner institutions. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Project Description: This project will complete a new geologic map of Little River Canyon National Preserve. New or revised mapping will be conducted in five 7.5 minute quadrangles by faculty and students of Auburn University and the Geologic Survey of Alabama (GSA). Mapping will meet U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP and EDMAP standards and delivered in a GIS to the NPS Geologic Resources Division and ultimately to LIRI staff. Phase 1 of this project, which this Task funds, will focus on establishing the geologic framework of the park and completion of the Little River Quadrangle by the Auburn Principal Investigator and a graduate student and the finalization of the Fort Payne Quadrangle by the Geologic Survey of Alabama (GSA). Phase 2 of the project, scheduled to be funded in a new Task Agreement in FY16 depending on availability of funds, will complete the remaining three quadrangles that cover the park: Jamestown, Valley Head, and Dugout Valley. The public purpose of this project is stimulating scientific research and generating knowledge. Geologic maps provide important details on the underlying ecological framework for science based resource management and offer public university faculty and student&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s new knowledge and additional research opportunities in the earth sciences. Geologic mapping is the foundation of the geosciences and as such provides directs benefits to the public. Published detailed mapping along the Little River does not yet exist. This project will provide that fundamental piece of geologic understanding and will 1) identify areas susceptible to slope failure, mass movement, landslides and rock fall that pose potential threats to the health and human safety of travelers on the numerous roads paralleling the river; 2) unravel the river&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s flood history through their deposits to shed light on possible future flooding events; 3) expand the knowledge of groundwater aquifers, their replenishment pathways, as well as regional surface watersheds , 4) provide a greater understanding of the regional geologic framework and its potential for energy development or other commercially viable products; 5) provide a basis for visitors to better understand the geologic history and scope and significance of the area&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s geologic resources such as fossils, caves, kart features, or other unique geologic features RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Deliver to the NPS and GSA preliminary maps of the Little River and Fort Payne 7.5 minute quadrangles in a GIS that includes: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; A digital geologic map in the form of an ESRI ArcGIS 10.x geodatabase adhering to the NCGMP09 standard.

        <Description>The Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (LCR MSCP) is a federal and non-federal partnership responding to the need to balance use of lower Colorado River (LCR) water resources and the conservation of native species and their habitats in compliance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This is a long-term (50-year) program to conserve at least 26 species of plants and animals (including razorback sucker Xyrauchen texanus (RASU)) along the LCR from Lake Mead to the Southerly International Boundary with Mexico through the implementation of a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). RASU is listed by the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) as a species of special concern and was listed federally in 1991 as endangered under the ESA. This project is for the principal purpose of maintaining viable RASU populations in the lower Colorado River and associated drainages pursuant to goals set forth in the LCR MSCP. Objectives include annual production of between 5,000 and 15,000 RASU, transportation and stocking of RASU throughout LCR drainages, and ongoing hatchery maintenance and repair.</Description>

        <Description>The Saltonstall-Kennedy Act established a fund (known as the S-K fund) used by the Secretary of Commerce to provide grants or cooperative agreements for fisheries research and development projects addressing aspects of U.S. fisheries, including, but not limited to, harvesting, processing, marketing, and associated business infrastructures. Under this authority, grants and cooperative agreements are made on a competitive basis (subject to availability of funding) to assist in carrying out projects related to U.S. commercial and recreational fisheries. The term &amp;#8220;fisheries&amp;#8221; encompasses wild capture, marine aquaculture and recreational fishing. The objective of the S-K Grant Program is to address the needs of the fisheries and fishing communities in optimizing economic benefits by building and maintaining sustainable fisheries and practices, dealing with the impacts of conservation and management measures, and increasing other opportunities to use existing infrastructure to support keeping working waterfronts viable. U.S. fisheries include any fishery, commercial or recreational, that is, or may be, engaged in by citizens or nationals of the United States. Proposals submitted to this competition must address at least one of the following priorities: Aquaculture; Fisheries Data Collection; Techniques for Reducing Bycatch and other Adverse Impacts; Adapting to Climate Change and Other Long Term Ecosystem Change; Promotion, Development and Marketing; Socio-Economic Research; and Territorial Science. This Federal Funding Opportunity includes information on application and criteria for research proposals requesting a maximum of $300,000 in total federal funding for up to a two-year period. Matching funds are not required. Awards are anticipated to start no earlier than September 1, 2016. </Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00393 Project Title Wildlife sensory ecology research Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $557,133.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signatures to December 31, 2017 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signatures to December 31, 2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) &amp;amp; (b) &amp;amp; 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research &amp;amp; Training Programs-Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 june_zastrow@nps.gov OVERVIEW Project Title: Wildlife Sensory Ecology Research Project Description: This project will pursue research to measure the responses of wildlife to noise and light pollution, and to develop and apply methods to extract environmental information from acoustical recordings. The effects of artificial light at night on wildlife will be pursued through support for a postdoctoral researcher. The environmental acoustic investigations will be pursued through support for the undergraduate &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Listening Laboratory&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; that was created under a previous agreement. This Listening Laboratory offers opportunities for undergraduate honors students to participate in research and data analysis related to soundscapes. The Listening Laboratory is led by a second postdoctoral researcher, who oversees student research projects and originates other field research. The public purposes that this financial assistance stimulates are 1) advancing scientific understanding of sensory ecology and its significance for the National Park resource management and visitor experience, and 2) supporting the education and career development of undergraduate and postgraduate scientists. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Noise and stray light are pervasive pollutants in protected natural areas, creating potentially disturbing stimuli for wildlife and degrading their sensory environments. Noise and stray light also compromises the quality of outdoor recreation experience. Although the broad outlines of noise impacts to wildlife are clear, more detailed understanding is needed to identify priorities for noise management in protected natural areas, and to devise efficient and effective mitigation. Although less is known about the effects of light on ecosystems, Longcore and Rich 2004 document numerous examples of the effects of ecological light pollution. The primary goal of this task agreement is to stimulate observational and experimental research to address fundamental issues regarding the effects of noise and light on wildlife behavior and ecology. Although many details of the research program will depend upon the particular talents of the personnel who are recruited, several broad areas of inquiry can be anticipated. This is not an exhaustive list. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Document the effects of noise exposure on time and energy budgets for free-ranging animals. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Explore laboratory systems in which behavioral effects of noise and light can be studied. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Document the time courses of response and recovery in relation to noise and light exposure. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Utilize noise or light broadcast systems to study the effects of noise in the absence of other anthropogenic stimuli. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Evaluate the spatial coverage and information content of acoustical recordings for monitoring the activities of noise sources and wildlife. Wildlife studies may include other data collection systems for comparison with the acoustical data (e. g. camera trapping, video monitoring, point count or line transect sampling). &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Investigate options for modeling noise exposure on regional and continental scales, to evaluate current and future conditions around parks and to explore relationships between existing wildlife survey data and noise exposure levels. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Explore alternative data collection and processing techniques for environmental acoustics and lightscapes. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Analyses of acoustical data collected at Everglades National Park, relating sonic characteristics extracted from recordings to spatial variation in other environmental factors. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Produce educational materials for park interpretive rangers to address soundscapes and night sky quality and their importance for wildlife. &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The research activity is intended to address several public interests: expanding the scientific basis for evaluating the effects of noise exposure on wildlife, promoting collaborative conservation working groups consisting of academic professionals and natural resource managers, furthering the education and career development of undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other research associates while expanding their command of acoustical monitoring and understanding of auditory perception, providing opportunities for project participants to produce peer-reviewed papers and outputs for scientific conferences reporting these research results, stimulating interdisciplinary research and education at CSU by promoting interactions between the College of Natural Sciences, the Warner College of Natural Resources, and the College of Engineering. This promotion of interdisciplinary activity may extend to hosting scientific workshops or conferences, though none is planned at this time. The NPS Technical Expert (TE), will partner with the CSU research team in all aspects of this cooperative agreement: identification of overall research priorities, development of specific research and monitoring projects, identification or development of appropriate instrumentation, selection of study organisms and field sites, design and execution of data analyses, preparation of reports and publications. The NPS TE and the staff of the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division (NSNSD) will regularly participate in meetings with the CSU research team; some CSU personnel may have desk space in the NSNSD office suite. The NPS TE will also help coordinate the activities and findings of this project in relation to several other NPS funded research projects. NPS will provide specialized equipment for many project tasks. The NPS ATR will ensure that the CSU performance conforms to the terms of this task agreement, and approve any significant changes to the scope or the budget. Project schedule and products: Start Date Continue ongoing Listening Lab activities that were established under the prior award. Monthly Conduct meetings with CSU and NPS project participants to review progress and plan future activities. 1st Qtr Initiate search for a postdoctoral researcher to investigate the effects of stray light on wildlife. 2nd Qtr Hire postdoctoral researcher to investigate the effects of stray light on wildlife, and initiate research planning 12 Months Submit first year performance report summarizing project activities 1 Month Prior to End Date Submit the draft project report to NPS for review.

In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) Continuation This is a Task Agreement (P15AC01772) under Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) in the amount of $557,133.00 with a period of performance from date of award until 12/31/2017. &amp;quot;This proposed project between Colorado State University and the NPS is authorized to go through the Rocky Mountains CESU at the negotiated overhead rate of 17.5% because it passes the test of substantial involvement by the NPS, public purpose and consistency with the mission of the CESU Network&amp;quot;. </Description>

        <Description>The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) provides matching grants for international coral reef conservation projects. CRCP solicits proposals that will support the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program&amp;#8217;s International Strategy 2010-2015 (International Strategy). The International Strategy focuses on supporting existing regional efforts in four priority regions based on their interconnections with U.S. reef ecosystems and existing initiatives and partnerships. Two of these four priority regions will be considered under this Federal Funding Opportunity: the Wider Caribbean and Micronesia.Funding for the Fiscal Year 2016 competition is subject to the availability of Congressional appropriations and is expected to be approximately $600,000. NOAA expects each applicant will request between $75,000 and $300,000 annually for an award with a project period up to two years. Funding after the first year generally depends on future Congressional appropriations, NOAA/CRCP priorities, and recipient performance in the first year(s) of the award.</Description>

        <Description>This program makes funding available for the National Clean Plant Network for Fiscal Year 2016 as provided under the Agricultural Act of 2014, commonly referred to as the Farm Bill of 2014, specifically Section 10007. The National Clean Plant Network (NCPN) provides asexually propagated plant material free of targeted plant pathogens and pests to protect the environment and ensure the global competitiveness of US specialty crop producers. Program priorities include: 1) establishing and supporting governance and related administrative activities; 2) promoting the introduction, diagnosis, treatment, establishment (in foundation blocks) and release of clean plant materials, both from foreign and domestic sources, for commercial development; 3) conducting methods development to accurately advance and test therapies, as well as establish guidelines and standards for certification maintenance; 4) developing partnerships with extension and outreach services (e.g. university and state departments of agriculture) to interact with commercial nurseries, industry associations and producers; and 5) developing and implementing best practices and quality control protocols. Funding will be provided to Land-Grant Universities, Non Land-Grant Colleges of Agriculture, State Agricultural Experiment Stations, State Governments, and Federal Agencies to support Network priorities noted above. Funding priority will be given to applications that focus on specialty crops, with clear work plans for developing and maintaining a comprehensive, cohesive and efficient network. </Description>

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters has released a solicitation, titled NASA Space Technology Research Fellowships (NSTRF) - Fall 2016, on September 10, 2015. The solicitation is available by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ , selecting &amp;quot;Solicitations,&amp;quot; then selecting &amp;quot;Open Solicitations,&amp;quot; and, finally, selecting the solicitation number &amp;quot;NSTRF16.&amp;quot; NASA&amp;#146;s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) seeks to sponsor U.S. citizen and permanent resident graduate student researchers who show significant potential to contribute to NASA&amp;#146;s goal of creating innovative new space technologies for our Nation&amp;#146;s science, exploration, and economic future. This call for graduate student fellowship applications solicits applications from individuals pursuing or planning to pursue master&amp;#146;s (e.g., M.S.) or doctoral (e.g., Ph.D.) degrees in relevant space technology disciplines at accredited U.S. universities. NASA Space Technology Fellows will perform innovative space technology research and will improve America&amp;#146;s technological competitiveness by providing the Nation with a pipeline of innovative space technologies. Selected candidates will perform research at their respective campuses and at NASA Centers. In addition to his or her faculty advisor, each student will be matched with a technically relevant and community-engaged researcher who will serve as the student&amp;#146;s research collaborator. Through this collaboration, students will be able to take advantage of broader and/or deeper space technology research opportunities directly related to their educational and career objectives, acquire a more detailed understanding of the potential end applications of their space technology efforts, directly disseminate their research results within the NASA community, and enhance their understanding of the research process. Awards resulting from this competitive selection will be made in the form of training grants to accredited U.S. universities. This solicitation has two phases. Phase A is the application submission by the student. For the student applicant who is selected in Phase A, the accredited U.S. university where the student will be enrolled for the fall 2016 term as a full-time graduate student must submit a Phase B proposal (as specified in the NSTRF16 solicitation); a complete Phase B proposal submission will result in a training grant award. Phase B proposals may only be submitted if the applicant was selected in Phase A. The financial and programmatic support for NSTRF comes from STMD. The fellowships are a component of the Space Technology Research Grants Program. Awards are planned to coincide with the start of the 2016 academic year and are subject to the availability of appropriated funds. This solicitation covers only new fellowship applications; renewal applications are handled separately. All Phase A applications must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES and are due by 6 PM ET on November 05, 2015. Detailed submission instructions for applicants are provided under &amp;quot;Other Documents&amp;quot; on the NSPIRES webpage associated with the NSTRF16 solicitation. Potential student applicants are urged to access the NSPIRES electronic proposal system well in advance of the proposal due date to register with NSPIRES, familiarize themselves with its structure, and to enter the requested information. Comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to the Space Technology Research Grants Program Executive, Claudia Meyer, at hq-nstrf-call@mail.nasa.gov. Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and may also be included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of individuals/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. </Description>

        <Description>Amendment No. 01: The purpose of this amendment is to extend the proposal due date from 23 November 2015 to 30 November 2015. The due date is being extended due to issues with DARPA&amp;#8217;s BAA (proposal submission) Website experienced by proposers on 23 November 2015 that prevented proposal submissions from being completed. Those proposers who successfully submitted through DARPA&amp;#8217;s BAA (proposal submission) Website prior to the original due date are not required to resubmit their proposals as a result of this extension. However, those proposers who did successfully submit through DARPA&amp;#8217;s BAA (proposal submission) Website prior to the original due date may, if they choose, resubmit their proposals &amp;#8211; but the resubmitted proposal must very clearly note that it is being submitted in place of the initial submission. See the attached DARPA-BAA-15-57 document, through Amendment No. 01, with changes highlighted in yellow. Original synopsis is below. DARPA is soliciting research proposals to develop novel technologies for infrared sensors. The WIRED program seeks to provide high-performance, low-cost infrared imagers that respond in the short wave infrared (SWIR) and mid wave infrared (MWIR), and that can be fabricated directly on silicon-based readout integrated circuit (ROIC) substrates at the wafer scale. Also of interest are innovative approaches to high temperature long wave infrared (LWIR) detectors that directly measure photocurrent.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>U.S. accredited university Geoscience or related Departments are eligible for EDMAP funds.  University professors must write and submit the proposals.  EDMAP cooperative agreements are intended to fund students doing geologic mapping in the field.  While it is proper for the professors advisors to ask for some logistical support so that they may be with their student(s) in the field for a credible amount of time, the bulk of the award is intended to support the students mapping efforts.  EDMAP cooperative agreements do not support faculty salaries.  Masters and Doctoral students of Geoscience or related Departments at accredited United States colleges and universities are eligible applicants to the EDMAP Program.  In addition, qualified undergraduate Juniors and Seniors are also eligible.  These undergraduates should have received some basic mineralogy, petrology and structural geology training prior to the time they will do the geologic mapping proposed in this proposal.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The primary objective of the EDMAP component of the NCGMP is to train the next generation of geologic mappers. To do this NCGMP provides funds for graduate and selected undergraduate students in academic research projects that involve geologic mapping as a major component. Through these cooperative agreements NCGMP hopes to expand the research and educational capacity of academic programs that teach earth science students the techniques of geologic mapping and field data analysis. Another important goal is to increase the level of communication between the Nations geologic surveys (both State Geological Surveys and the USGS) and geologic mappers in the academic community. We hope that this improved communication will have two results: 1) that the academic mapping community will learn more about the societal needs that drive geologic mapping projects at the USGS and State Geologic Surveys, and 2) more geologic maps produced in academia will eventually be made available to the public.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP). The purpose of this program is to increase the number of qualified nursing faculty by providing funding to accredited schools of nursing. The NFLP is designed to prepare and train qualified nurse educators to fill faculty vacancies and increase the number of trained nurses entering the workforce. This goal is accomplished by supporting schools of nursing that prepare students to serve as nurse faculty. Schools (herein referenced as institutions) are required to design and implement curriculum to prepare nursing students to apply teaching strategies, develop curriculum for both classroom and clinical instruction, and be able to create effective methods for evaluation of student learning outcomes. Grantees are awarded funds to support nursing students and are expected to establish and operate a distinct, interest-bearing NFLP loan fund. Institutions make loans from this fund to assist registered nurses in completing their graduate nursing education to become qualified nurse faculty. The program offers cancellation of up to 85 percent of NFLP loans for borrowers that graduate and serve as full-time nursing faculty for the prescribed period of time.</Description>

        <Description>The Pioneer Trails Regional Museum (PTRM) has been a long-term partner with BLM, storing and managing fossils from North Dakota from federal land. The PTRM has a current and active Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Montana State Office of the BLM for museum collection management.This project will begin with a physical inventory of the BLM specimens in the collections at the Pioneer Trails Regional Museum (PTRM) in Bowman, ND. Current records indicate more than 10,000 BLM specimens are housed. The PTRM staff will properly count, record and store the specimens according to DOI standards. The PTRM has over 20 years&amp;#8217; experience and has publications and curatorial skills based upon this experience.PTRM Paleontology Department volunteers will be assisting this individual with the curation and data entry. These volunteers from the community consist of both adults and supervised school students. The youth volunteers provide the direct youth engagement of this project, as they will be trained in basic museum curation techniques and conservation standards, and given real-life experience in a professional museum operation. Later, and indirect youth engagement will involve expanded access to the collection information on line, museum exhibits, and museum outreach programs that benefit from this effort.The recipient will provide the working space and hardware (ie. computer, printer and curation tools) as part of their contribution to this project&amp;#8217;s completion. Each specimen will be verified as to its correct taxonomic affinity, location collected, date collected and stratigraphic position (if possible).Currently, the collections of the museum are recorded in an Excel spreadsheet. As part of this project we will develop a professional curatorial database, and will thoroughly consider the Interior Collections Management System (ICMS), as well as other freely available systems. Whichever system the recipient selects, data must be compatible with ICMS.Currently the collections are stored in wooden cabinets, or in professional metal cabinets but in wooden drawers. Specimens are in non-archival storage boxes with labels on acidic papers. In this project we will assist with new storage cabinets, as well as drawers for new and existing cabinets to replace as many wooden drawers as possible. Additionally, the BLM will assist with materials to store specimens in archival storage trays, jars or vials with labels on non-acidic materials.One of the goals of the project will be to make the collection data more available and useful to researchers and the public. Among the considerations for selecting a collection management software will be its ability to share appropriate data to the web. We will explore joining the effort of the Paleo Portal (an NSF-funding web-based collection sharing site) to maximize the project efficiencies, both within the scope of the project and with other efforts previously funded.b. Objectives:The 10,000+ BLM specimens of the PTRM collections will be accurately counted, properly curated and properly stored for protection and posterity. It is the intent to have all the specimens entered into a relational database (such as ICMS) and potentially a public database like Paleo Portal. A complete set of catalogue records will be provided to BLM.Objectives include: 1) Provide qualified individuals to conduct and inventorying BLM specimens in the collections; 2) Establishing a computerized database system for the curation and accession records of the museum with appropriate data backups and protection; 3) Entering curation data into the new curation system; 4) Conducting a physical assessment of all BLM specimens in the collection; 5) Providing professional oversight to staff and volunteers to ensure work is completed in a professional manner and according to the highest museum standards; 6) Conducting preparation work on those specimens that need it, including appropriate treatment of specimens with chemical hardeners as needed; 7) Obtaining curatorial-grade specimen storage containers for prepared specimens for long-term conservation storage; 8) Replace wooden shelving, cabinets, and drawers with curatorial-grade metal fixtures which protect specimens from environmental degradation and dust in compliance with DOI curatorial standards; and 9) Making records of BLM specimens available and accessible to qualified researchers and the public, while protecting sensitive information in compliance with federal law and regulations.</Description>

        <Description>Views of nocturnal landscapes free from artificial light are important parts of visitor experience. Artificial light is known to affect the movements and behavior of flying insects, but this phenomenon has not been studied in remote locations that have historically been completely free from artificial light. Energy development in the Great Plains and Intermountain West is introducing bright lights into some of these remote areas. Many ongoing or planned developments are close enough to National Park units that they could affect the nocturnal flying insect fauna in the park, and all of the other species that are linked to those insects.</Description>

        <Description>The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) announces a program that provides NIDDK-supported K01, K08, and K23 recipients the opportunity to apply for Small Grant (R03) support at some point during the final two years of their K award. Through the use of this mechanism, the NIDDK is seeking to enhance the capability of its K01, K08, and K23 award recipients to conduct research as they complete their transition to fully independent investigator status. The R03 grant mechanism supports different types of projects, including pilot and feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and development of new research technology. The R03 is, therefore, intended to support research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources and that may provide preliminary data to support a subsequent R01, or equivalent, application.</Description>

        <Description>Preservation and Access Research and Development grants support projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing access to humanities collections and resources. These challenges include the need to find better ways to preserve materials of critical importance to the nation&amp;#146;s cultural heritage&amp;#151;from fragile artifacts and manuscripts to analog recordings and digital assets subject to technological obsolescence&amp;#151;and to develop advanced modes of searching, discovering, and using such materials. Applicants should define a specific problem, devise procedures and potential solutions, and explain how they would evaluate their projects and disseminate their findings. Project results must serve the needs of a significant number of humanists. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this program is to investigate and evaluate advanced fuels and fuel technologies, fuel system component development, advanced combustor and augmentor designs, advanced fuel properties measurements, fuel system component development and safety and combustion emissions along with their integration into advanced aerospace applications and advanced technologies to prevent and mitigate fuel biodeterioration. Research will be performed to characterize and develop advanced fuels- and combustion-related technologies for use at all operating conditions in current and advanced weapons systems. Experiments will be performed to characterize and develop these technologies and to demonstrate the applicability of these technologies to advanced weapons systems. Experiments will involve analyzing and characterizing fuels and fuel components to explore and understand fuel chemistry, exposing fuel to a broad range of temperatures and pressures in test rigs of various sizes and complexities, demonstrating developed fuel technologies on these rigs, and evaluating fuels and fuel additives in combustion systems to study their impact on gaseous and particulate emissions. Studies of innovative catalysts for improved combustion performance and endothermic fuel applications shall also be performed.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to establish inter-disciplinary collaborative projects to advance studies of macromolecular interactions and their relationship to function in cells. These collaborations are designed to integrate additional research strategies into NIGMS&amp;apos; research base of laboratories specializing in macromolecular function in living systems. Grantees may use this funding opportunity to (i) complement each other&amp;apos;s capabilities (for example, in biochemistry, genetics, chemistry, or pharmacology), where the innovation is in the biology rather than in the technology; (ii) apply proven technologies that are technically challenging, expensive, or not yet widely used in cell biology and allied fields (for example, mass spectrometry, high-throughput screening); (iii) develop, pilot, evaluate, and/or apply emerging technologies (for example, superresolution light microscopy); (iv) carry out feasibility studies or upstream research and development of new technological concepts that are unproven, but potentially useful for study of macromolecular interactions. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to establish inter-disciplinary collaborative research networks to advance studies of macromolecular interactions and their relationship to function in cells. These networks are designed to integrate additional research strategies into NIGMS&amp;apos; research base of laboratories specializing in macromolecular function in living systems. Invetigators may use this funding opportunity to (i) complement each other&amp;apos;s capabilities (for example, in biochemistry, genetics, chemistry, or pharmacology), where the innovation is in the biology rather than in the technology; (ii) apply proven technologies that are technically challenging, expensive, or not yet widely used in cell biology and allied fields (for example, mass spectrometry, high-throughput screening); (iii) develop, pilot, evaluate, and/or apply emerging technologies (for example, superresolution light microscopy); (iv) carry out feasibility studies or upstream research and development of new technological concepts that are unproven, but potentially useful for study of macromolecular interactions. </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to facilitate the planning, designing and initial research focus of Regional Centers of Research Excellence (RCRE) for non-communicable disease, including cancer, in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Activities in this FOA will be implemented through collaborative partnerships between investigators from institutions in high-income countries (HICs) or upper- middle-income countries (UMICs) and investigators, research administrators, and other stakeholders from LMICs. The planning efforts must demonstrate an understanding of the region&amp;apos;s research capabilities and a commitment to enhance these capabilities with a focus on basic, translational, clinical, and population science research for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Research activities undertaken through this initiative should demonstrate that the collaborators can work together to answer NCD questions that are relevant, timely, and important to the concerned region. </Description>

What does it mean to exhibit the objects to the general public?           An institution exhibits objects to the general public if such exhibition is a primary purpose of the institution. An institution that exhibits objects to the general public for at least 120 days a year is deemed to exhibit objects to the general public on a regular basis.            An institution which does not have the exhibition of objects as a primary purpose and/or does not exhibit objects to the public for at least 120 days a year may be determined to be eligible as a museum under certain circumstances.  For more information, please see 45 CFR &amp;#167;1180.2(d);        b.   An organization or association that engages in activities designed to advance the well-being of museums and the museum profession;        c.   An institution of higher education, including public and nonprofit universities; or        d.   A public or private nonprofit agency which is responsible for the operation of a museum that meets the eligibility criteria in (a) above may apply on behalf of the museum.

        <Description>The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) seeks to enhance the ability of justice agencies to share information in order to support critical public safety and criminal justice activities. BJA plans to address this nationwide need by developing and implementing national policy and best practices, creating national consensus standards and guidelines in support of information sharing and interoperability, and delivering training and technical assistance (TTA) services. Through this solicitation, BJA is seeking to enable the nation&amp;#146;s criminal justice community to improve information sharing through advanced technology and tools that increase efficiency, enhance operations, and promote cost savings and reuse. BJA&amp;#146;s National Justice Information Sharing (JIS) Initiative works collaboratively with key stakeholders and national partner organizations to identify critical issues and problems, and provide resources in response to emerging challenges in law enforcement, courts, corrections, community corrections, offender reentry, criminal justice-involved human/social services, and tribal justice. This program is funded under the Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program (Byrne Competitive Program) and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. Authorized by Pub. L. No.112-55, div. B, title II, 125 Stat. 552, 615, the Byrne Competitive Program helps communities improve the functioning and capacity of their state and local criminal justice systems and provides for national support efforts including training and technical assistance programs strategically targeted to address local, state and tribal needs. Funds may not be used for the acquisition of land, construction projects, or security enhancements or equipment to non-governmental entities not engaged in law enforcement, law enforcement support, criminal or juvenile justice, or delinquency prevention. The JAG Program (42 U.S.C. 3751(a) et seq.) is the primary provider of federal criminal justice funding to state, local, and tribal jurisdictions, and JAG funds support all components of the criminal justice system. The JAG Program authorization also provides that up to 5 percent of the funds available to carry out subpart 1 of Title I, Part E of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (&amp;#147;Omnibus&amp;#148;) may be granted, among other reasons, for one or more of the purposes specified in Section 501 of Title I, Part E, Subpart 1 of Omnibus upon a determination that it is necessary&amp;#147; to combat, address, or otherwise respond to precipitous or extraordinary increases in crime, or in a type or types of crime&amp;#148; (42 U.S.C. 3756(b)(1)). Furthermore, the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2012, Pub. L. No. 122-55, div. B, title II, 125 Stat. 552, 621, provides that up to 3 percent &amp;#147;of funds made available to the Office of Justice Programs for grant or reimbursement programs may be used by such Office to provide training and technical assistance.&amp;#148;</Description>

        <Description>NOAA&amp;apos;s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), in coordination with the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils (Councils), is soliciting monkfish research proposals to utilize 500 Monkfish Days-at-Sea (DAS) per year that have been set-aside by the Councils to fund monkfish research through the 2016 Monkfish Research Set-Aside (RSA) Program. No Federal funds are provided for research under this notification. Rather, proceeds generated from the sale of monkfish harvested during a set-aside DAS will be used to fund research activities and compensate vessels that participate in research activities and/or harvest monkfish while fishing under an RSA DAS. Projects funded under the Monkfish RSA Program must enhance the knowledge of the monkfish fishery resource or contribute to the body of information on which monkfish management decisions are made. Priority will be given to monkfish research proposals that investigate research priorities identified by the Councils and detailed under the Program Priorities section of this announcement.</Description>

        <Description>As authorized under section 1110 of the Social Security Act, SSA announces the solicitation of competitive applications for a five year cooperative agreement for a Disability Research Consortium (DRC). SSA seeks applications in support of the DRC that will serve as a national resource fostering high quality research, communication, and education on matters related to disability policy. The DRC is an interdisciplinary extramural policy research program funded by the Social Security Administration (SSA) through a cooperative agreement. In addition to research, the DRC will disseminate research results and train graduate students and junior faculty. The expectation is that the DRC will foster more collaborative research across federal agencies as well as more collaboration among researchers in the federal government, academia, and research centers. Another important expectation is that research results will help policymakers improve service delivery, enhance coordination of services across programs, build on complementarities across programs, eliminate duplication and waste, and advance cooperation across federal agencies that serve people with disabilities.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), Executive Office of the President, is seeking applications from public nonprofit institutions/organizations (includes institutions of higher education and hospitals) to perform research and analysis of data to inform drug policy. This project seeks to further refine a methodology for obtaining drug early warning indicators from expanded testing of urine samples that were previously collected and tested as part of an existing drug test protocol. This method was initially developed using local criminal justice populations &amp;#8211; including persons in pre-trial or lock-up, parolees or probationers, and drug court participants. Similar methodology is promising for use in other venues, such as in trauma units and emergency departments, where biological samples are often collected from patients. Before the specimens are discarded, the project will re-test them for an expanded panel of drugs, including synthetic cannabinoids, to determine what old and new illicit drugs are detected or missed by conventional testing protocols, and how the drug patterns might vary by subpopulation and geography. By passing the expense of collecting the original specimens and re-using those that have already been tested with known results yields a relatively inexpensive and timely picture of emerging drugs in a given subpopulation and locality. ONDCP expects to continue to engage the laboratory testing services of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) at no charge to further minimize project costs. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage investigators to pursue translational and clinical studies for recording and/or stimulating devices to treat nervous system disorders and better understand the human brain. The program will utilize a cooperative agreement mechanism to support the submission of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for a Significant Risk (SR) study or obtain Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for a Non-Significant Risk (NSR) study, and a subsequent small clinical study (e.g., Early Feasibility Study). The small clinical study should provide data to answer key questions about the function or final design of a device.This final device design may require most, if not all, of the non-clinical testing on the path to more advanced clinical trials and market approval. The clinical study is expected to provide information that cannot be practically obtained through additional nonclinical assessments (e.g., bench top or animal studies) due to the novelty of the device or its intended use. Activities supported in this program include implementation of clinical prototype devices, non-clinical safety and efficacy testing, design verification and validation activities, and pursuit of regulatory approval for, and implementation of, a single small clinical study.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Nursing Workforce Diversity (NWD) program. Program Purpose The NWD program increases nursing education opportunities for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, including racial and ethnic minorities that are underrepresented among registered nurses by using social determinants to guide the selection of evidence-based approaches that have been successful in retaining students from disadvantaged backgrounds in schools of nursing. The program supports projects that provide student stipends or scholarships, stipends for diploma or associate degree nurses to enter a bridge or degree completion program, student scholarships or stipends for accelerated nursing degree programs, pre-entry preparation, advanced education preparation, and retention activities. Program Requirements Eligible institutions must identify and describe the root causes of attrition among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The description should include a discussion of the social determinants that inhibit student achievement and success. Applicants must document how an understanding of the social determinants will be used to guide the selection of appropriate evidence-based approaches[1][2][3][4][5] that have been successful in retaining students from disadvantaged backgrounds (including racial and ethnic minorities) in schools of nursing. Next, applicants must propose a feasible plan to apply evidence-based strategies to increase retention of students from disadvantaged backgrounds in schools of nursing student. Successful evidence-based strategies to address student retention should include various combinations of: &amp;#183; Academic and peer support &amp;#183; Mentoring &amp;#183; Institutional and community partnerships &amp;#183; Student financial support To accomplish the program goal, applicants are expected to demonstrate that a combination of academic/peer support, mentoring, institutional and community partnerships, and/or student financial support will be effectively used to retain students from disadvantaged backgrounds with low academic achievement who are at risk of failing in schools of nursing. Specifically, applicants must utilize social determinants that affect their target student population&amp;#8217;s achievement and success in schools of nursing by: 1. Implementing at least one partnership with an internal (i.e., institutional) and external (i.e., community) organization to improve academic achievement of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, academic enhancement, science and math instructional enrichment, and mentoring, and 2. Identifying and addressing institutional structures within schools of nursing that function as barriers to student achievement and academic success. For this funding opportunity, successful applicants must be well positioned to implement institutional and community partnership models, approaches, and/or strategies that incorporate the social determinants into the design, implementation, and evaluation of student retention programs. Highly competitive applicants will demonstrate an organizational commitment to diversity, particularly within the field of nursing, document historical challenges with retaining students from disadvantaged backgrounds, present an analysis of the root causes behind those challenges (to include social determinants), and highlight discrete actions (e.g., hired staff, established internal programs and external partnerships) both planned and in progress as part of an evidence-based strategy to increase the retention of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

        <Description>The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The Second Chance Act is designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by offender reentry and recidivism reduction. Within this context, &amp;#147;reentry&amp;#148; is not a specific program, but rather an evidence-based process that starts when an offender is initially incarcerated and ends when the offender has been successfully reintegrated in his or her community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes the delivery of a variety of evidence-based program services in both pre- and post-release settings to help ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. Section 101 of The Second Chance Act, in addition to providing federal awards to state and local governments and federally recognized Indian tribes for demonstration reentry projects, also authorized the establishment of a National Adult and Juvenile Offender Reentry Resource Center (National Reentry Resource Center, NRRC). Collaboration with Other Federal Agencies BJA and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) are collaborating closely on the implementation of the Second Chance Act and will continue this partnership to ensure that both juvenile and adult reentry efforts are supported. Similarly, both BJA and OJJDP are working with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) in support of the research and evaluation activities called for in the Second Chance Act. For more information on BJA&amp;#146;s implementation of the Second Chance Act initiatives and Frequently Asked Questions, visit BJA&amp;#146;s Second Chance Act web page at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/BJA/grant/SecondChance.html. For additional information on juvenile reentry activities, visit OJJDP&amp;#146;s web site at www.ojjdp.gov/.</Description>

        <Description>The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) is a self-directed partnership governed by a Steering Committee. The Steering Committee includes representatives from 14 State, Federal and Tribal organizations. It is one of 5 LCCs in Alaska and one of 22 in North America. Our mission is to promote coordination, dissemination and development of applied science to inform landscape level conservation, including terrestrial-marine linkages in the face of a changing climate and related stressors. Congress provides seed funding for our LCC through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This funding announcement is part of our Terrestrial Systems focus for FY16 and FY17. Projects sponsored in these years will be linked to the topic, Informing decision makers about climate change effects on terrestrial habitat features and their impact on important resources/services in western Alaska. Three categories are included in this funding opportunity: Category 1. Patterns of change, and their impacts, in the phenology and distribution of subsistence resources, harvested species, or other species of management interest. Category 2: Identification and synthesis of information about (hotspots) of change or of highly resilient (stable) locations in western Alaska. Category 3: Changes in terrestrial habitat characteristics and their impact on important resources or services in western Alaska.</Description>

        <CloseDateExplanation>The due date of final HUD approval for FY 2015 GIW changes is September 28, 20152015 by 5:00 p.m., local time of the applicant.  Collaborative Applicants will be required to attach the final HUD-approved FY 2015 GIW that contains the final FY 2015 ARD to the CoC Priority Listing.  HUD will not consider any changes that would increase a CoCs ARD to the FY 2015 GIW following the 10-day grace period.  However, if any ineligible projects are included on the CoC&amp;#8217;s GIW, HUD will remove the ineligible projects from the GIW which will result in the CoC&amp;#8217;s ARD being reduced by the amount of the ineligible project.</CloseDateExplanation>

        <Description>This FOA is intended to facilitate partnerships between clinical investigators and manufacturers of latest-generation stimulating and/or recording devices that are FDA-designated as Class III (invasive, posing significant risk of harm), to conduct clinical research in the central nervous system.As part of The BRAIN InitiativeSM, NIH has initiated a Public-Private Partnership program (BRAIN PPP) to reduce barriers to negotiating such partnerships, and to ensure that new clinical studies leverage manufacturers existing data demonstrating safety and utility of these devices.Safety and utility data for invasive devices are costly to obtain, yet they are necessary for regulatory approval of human research, and therefore pose a substantial barrier to research progress.For this program, NIH has entered into agreements with a number of manufacturers to make available next generation devices that can stimulate and/or record from the central nervous system and have sufficient data to enable new Non-Significant Risk (NSR) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) without the need for significant additional testing.</Description>

        <Description>This FOA invites applications proposing to study health disparities in Alzheimers disease (AD) and related disorders. Health-disparities research related to AD should include the study of biological, behavioral, sociocultural, and environmental factors that influence population level health differences. Research approaches of interest include 1) improving recruitment and retention of populations underrepresented in AD research, 2) identifying priority factors or locating pathways and mechanisms that create and sustain AD health disparities, 3) addressing the challenges faced by informal/family caregivers from diverse racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds that are associated with the growing population of individuals with Alzheimers Disease, and 4) understanding the disparities in access to and utilization of formal long-term supports and services for those with dementia.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications that elucidate the mechanisms and/or behavioral outcomes of multisensory processing, the integration or processing of at least two distinct types of sensory input as defined by distinct receptor-type transduction, neural pathways and cognate perceptual quality. Specifically, multiple sensory inputs may include the major traditional modalities of hearing, vision, taste, smell, balance, and touch. Additional submodalities of body senses include but are not restricted to thermosensation, body position and proprioception, pain, itch, and general visceral sensation. This FOA encourages research grant applications investigating multisensory processing in perception or other behavioral and social outcomes and/or the mechanisms underlying multisensory processing in the context of the described specific areas of research interests from the participating NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs). The FOA is intended to encourage basic, behavioral, and/or clinical research projects examining the interactions between other neural systems, such as cognitive, affective, or motor processes, and multiple sensory modalities. Multisensory research applications that do not align with the specific areas of research interests described below by the participating NIH ICOs should be submitted to the parent R01 FOA, PA-13-302.</Description>

        <Description>Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections (SCHC) helps cultural institutions meet the complex challenge of preserving large and diverse holdings of humanities materials for future generations by supporting sustainable conservation measures that mitigate deterioration and prolong the useful life of collections. Libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country face an enormous challenge: to preserve collections that facilitate research, strengthen teaching, and provide opportunities for life-long learning in the humanities. Ensuring the preservation of books and manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art, and historical objects requires institutions to implement measures that slow deterioration and prevent catastrophic loss. This work is best accomplished through preventive conservation, which encompasses managing relative humidity, temperature, light, and pollutants in collection spaces; providing protective storage enclosures and systems for collections; and safeguarding collections from theft and from natural and man-made disasters. As museums, libraries, archives, and other collecting institutions strive to be effective stewards of humanities collections, they must find ways to implement preventive conservation measures that are sustainable. This program therefore helps cultural repositories plan and implement preservation strategies that pragmatically balance effectiveness, cost, and environmental impact. Sustainable approaches to preservation can contribute to an institution&amp;#8217;s financial health, reduce its use of fossil fuels, and benefit its green initiatives, while ensuring that collections are well cared for and available for use in humanities programming, education, and research. All applicants, whether applying for planning or implementation projects, are required to focus on sustainable preventive conservation strategies. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage investigators to pursue a small clinical study to obtain critical information necessary to advance recording and/or stimulating devices to treat central nervous system disorders and better understand the human brain (e.g., Early Feasibility Study).Clinical studies supported may consist of acute or short-term procedures that are deemed Non-Significant Risk (NSR) by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), or Significant Risk (SR) studies that require an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA, such as chronic implants.The clinical study should provide data to answer key questions about the function or final design of a device.This final device design may require most, if not all, of the non-clinical testing on the path to more advanced clinical trials and market approval.The clinical study is expected to provide information that cannot be practically obtained through additional non-clinical assessments (e.g., bench top or animal studies) due to the novelty of the device or its intended use. Activities supported by this Funding Opportunity include a small clinical study to answer key questions about the function or final design of a device.</Description>

The plant samples collected by the BEMO team will subsequently be shipped to the University for Laboratory Analysis. Syracuse will complete the lab work and share the results with the Bison Ecology team and collaborate in the interpretation of the results. Under this Agreement NPS scientists and investigators at SU will collaborate to sample and estimate plant production and consumption throughout the range of distribution for Yellowstone bison. This collaboration will quantify plant nitrogen through lab analyses at the SU. Together the two entities will describe how grazing by bison and other ungulates influences these plant community characteristics on both summer and winter ranges.

        <Description>On August 18, 2015 heavy rainfall and wind resulted in landslides in and around Sitka, Alaska. More than 45 landslides initiated during this event and are documented on Chichagof and Baranof Islands. Four slides impacted roads and infrastructure and one of the slides took the lives of three residents. The Kramer Avenue slide is 12 acres in size, 1000&amp;#8217; in length, and extends across Tongass National Forest, Private, and City of Sitka Land. Ash layers overlying glacial till combined with steep slopes and coastal climate make Sitka susceptible to landslides. The preliminary data from National Weather Service in Juneau suggests the event was a 50-75 year rainfall and may have been associated with high winds (pers com, NWS Juneau). The Indian River Hydrograph shows a steep climb on August 18, 2015 and was 1.3 feet above flood stage. The Indian River flows through Sitka NHP and damage occurred to flood protection (revetments) installed in the park. Sitka NHP is on the verge of replacing the Indian River Pedestrian Bridge and would like improved hazard modeling for this new infrastructure. Park managers, the State of Alaska (DGGS), the US Forest Service, and the City and Borough of Sitka believe that improved LIDAR data will improve the capability of all the entities to model both infrastructure risk and potential geohazards. The Division of Geological &amp;amp; Geophysical Surveys for the State of Alaska mission is to determine the potential of Alaskan land for production of metals, minerals, fuels, and geothermal resources, the locations and supplies of groundwater and construction material, and the potential geologic hazards to buildings, roads, bridges, and other installations and structures (AS 41.08.020). As such, the Division is charged with establishing what geohazards may threaten Alaska citizens living in Sitka. The combination of easy access to the state geological data and experienced personnel make the DGGS a good partner to conduct research with Sitka NHP and develop joint LIDAR products to improve the safety of Sitka citizens and the park&amp;#8217;s infrastructure. . STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The purpose of this Agreement is to collect detailed elevation data through LIDAR survey to improve risk analysis and hazard modeling for the NPS, USFS, and City and Borough of Sitka. Federal, State, and Local managers will review the elevation data and the resulting hazard and risk models to develop guidance to both governmental bodies and citizens on how to prevent any loss of life or property from any future landslides. Under this agreement, the NPS will work with DGGS to conduct LIDAR data collection based on a joint need for better elevation data in the park and in the surrounding City and headwaters of the Indian River. This project will meet the following objectives. General Objectives: &amp;#8226; Provide accurate and informative elevation data for Federal, State, and local governments &amp;#8226; Provide the best, most practical elevation data for geohazard modeling and risk analysis &amp;#8226; Focus on hazards to NPS infrastructure (bridges, erosion control, etc.), USFS and City infrastructure, and private property in the City and Borough of Sitka. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The DGGS agrees to: 1. Work closely with the park to develop elevation data that meets the USGS Quality Level 2 data standard (QL2) standard ( http://pubs.usgs.gov/tm/11b4/pdf/tm11-B4.pdf ) for an area of no less than 50 square miles, or the maximum area possible with the funds available. 2. Include Sitka National Historical Park in the Area of Interest (AOI) collected. 3. Distribute the resulting data to the National Park Service, US Forest Service, US Geological Service, City and Borough of Sitka, and any other parties assisting these entities in assessing geo-hazards in the Sitka community. 4. Provide oversight, review and technical expertise for research at DGGS. 5. Complete project performance measurements as described in Article IV of this document. 6. Acknowledge the NPS in any published or formally presented material development as derived from this Cooperative Agreement. 7. Share all work products from the Cooperative Agreement with the park as readily reproducible and digitally-compatible files (e.g. shape files, RAW data, etc.). 8. Agree to adhere to copyright provisions provided under 43 CFR 12 (c) and to include this provision in any sub-awards. 9. Name either the State Geologist or his designee as the key contact. 10. Host the resulting LIDAR data and derivative products for the public on the DGGS website. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT The NPS will: 1. Provide financial assistance. 2. Complete project performance measurements as described in Article IV of this document. 3. Work closely with DGGS to develop accurate data requirements (e.g. USGS QL2) that will provide the maximum value for the resulting data. Provide a range of project ideas immediately upon this Cooperative Agreement being signed for uses of the elevation data resulting from the project. 4. Provide DGGS with appropriate examples of similar NPS LIDAR collections, references to NPS LIDAR projects, and access to LIDAR data of similar quality. 5. Provide technical expertise on NPS and USGS LIDAR methods and interpretive products that highlight how elevation data is used. 7. Help coordinate input from all parties involved. 8. Print and distribute any official NPS maps, brochures, and pamphlets produced under this Cooperative Agreement or with the resulting LIDAR data. 9. Review draft work products and provide written input and recommendations to DGGS, as needed. 10. Assign an NPS specialist as the Agreement Technical Representative (ATR). 11. Assign an NPS to act as the liaison between DGGS, the NPS, and the USGS to coordinate and facilitate meetings and discussions related to this project. 12. Support the DGGS in distributing and using the LIDAR data to develop risk and hazard models through the University of Alaska Fairbanks and University of Alaska Southeast. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#8211; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#8211; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#8217; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. The National Park Service did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (1) Emergencies &amp;#8211; Sitka (and Sitka NHP) experienced landslides and significant infrastructure damage on 8/18/2015. The park and community are entering the rainy season in SE Alaska and need geo-hazard and risk models ASAP. LIDAR data are critical to developing these models. DGGS has the capability and co-interest in providing this data rapidly. </Description>

        <Description>The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a surveillance project of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with numerous state and local health departments that was initiated in 1987 because infant mortality rates were no longer declining as rapidly as they had in prior years. PRAMS allows states to collect data on maternal attitudes and experiences before, during and after pregnancy. The states use PRAMS data to inform maternal and child health programs by monitoring health behaviors, access to care, and receipt of services. More information on PRAMS can be found at: www.cdc.gov/prams.This FOA solicits applications to support state public health agencies to: 1) establish or maintain surveillance of selected maternal behaviors and experiences that occur prior to, during, and after pregnancy in 50 states; 2) provide a high quality data source for ongoing monitoring of risk factors for maternal and infant health; 3) use PRAMS methods and survey supplements to address emerging issues that may arise during the data collection cycle including the response to post-disaster or pandemic surveillance needs; and 4) ensure data collection results are available to inform state and national program and policies, facilitate partnerships, and demonstrate the utility of PRAMS as a data source for state and national surveillance.Throughout this document the terms &amp;#8220;state&amp;#8221; or &amp;quot;site&amp;quot; apply to any local, state, territory, or tribe that meets the eligibility requirements.The activities in the FOA will be conducted under 4 separate components of funding:1) Component A: Core Surveillance to implement the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) surveillance on selected maternal behaviors and experiences that occur prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy in 50 states by establishing new sites and maintaining existing sites, and to use PRAMS methods and survey supplements to monitor emerging issues that may arise during the data collection cycle including the response to post-disaster or pandemic surveillance needs.2) Component B: Point-in-time Surveillance to establish a point-in-time (e.g. one time, one birth year) surveillance on selected maternal behaviors and experiences that occur prior to, during, and after pregnancy and early infancy for entities with a small birth population (&amp;lt;20,000 annually), a lack of electronic birth records, or inadequate resources to maintain ongoing surveillance.3) Component C: Stillbirth Surveillance Pilot to expand Core PRAMS methods and sampling to include women who experienced a stillbirth and provide essential data for monitoring stillbirth and related factors such as prenatal, obstetric and postpartum health care. The information collected can fill data gaps and inform efforts to prevent the occurrence of stillbirth and improve care and support to those who experiencing this unfortunate pregnancy outcome.4) Component D: Family history of breast and ovarian cancer survey to expand Core PRAMS methods and sampling to collect data on family history of breast and ovarian cancer in women who recently delivered a live birth, adding valuable information to the current surveillance, medical evaluation, and cancer prevention efforts focused on identifying populations at risk, including women of reproductive age.</Description>

        <Description>The NOAA Marine Debris Program, authorized in the Marine Debris Act (33 U.S.C. 1951-1958), provides funding to support eligible organizations to educate the public about the issue of marine debris through dedicated activities to prevent the introduction of marine debris. Funding for this purpose comes through the NOAA Marine Debris Program as appropriations to the Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service. Projects awarded through this grant competition will work to address a specific marine debris issue by encouraging changes in behavior. Successful projects will also develop and implement activities to reduce and prevent marine debris by working with students, teachers, industries, or the public, and will engage these groups in active personal participation (e.g. a small-scale shoreline cleanup with students, other hands-on activities, etc.). Successful proposals through this solicitation will be funded through cooperative agreements. Funding of up to $750,000 is expected to be available for Marine Debris Prevention through Education and Outreach grants in FY2016. Typical awards will range from $30,000 - $75,000. This solicitation is focused on efforts to prevent marine debris from entering the environment through education and outreach. It is not intended for large-scale debris removal projects, deployment of catchment basins, or scientific research.</Description>

        <Description>The United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) Building Technologies Office (BTO) is seeking information from the public on sensor and control technologies that can be used within residential and commercial buildings to monitor and optimize energy performance and occupant comfort, as well as support energy-related transactions outside the building envelope. In particular, BTO is interested in the current state-of-the-art in sensor and control technologies, forthcoming research and development (R&amp;amp;D) advances that could reduce cost or improve performance, and the potential market implications of improved building energy management. There are five categories in which BTO is seeking additional information: 1. Multi-purpose Plug-and-Play Sensor Packages 2. Virtual Sensors and Predictive Models 3. Sub-metering, Continuous Commissioning, and Automated Fault Detection &amp;amp; Diagnostics 4. Occupant-Centered Sensing and Controls 5. Other (does not fit in one of the above categories) Eleven questions are presented, representing various aspects of information that are important for DOE to collect, such as: state of the art, metrics, qualitative criteria, R&amp;amp;D status, cost, market types, possible opportunities, improvements, and market barriers. This is solely a Request for Information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to SensorsandControlsRFI@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (ET) on October 31, 2015. The full content of the announcement can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. </Description>

        <Description>This FFO announces the availability of funding for the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms program (TAAF) administered by DOC &amp;#8211; via EDA &amp;#8211;under the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 2341 et seq.). TAAF provides cost shared technical assistance to help strengthen the competitiveness of American companies that have been negatively impacted by increasing imports (defined as having lost domestic sales and employment because of increased imports of similar goods and services). EDA operates TAAF through a national network of Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers (TAACs). EDA is soliciting applications from organizations to operate as TAACs. Each TAAC is expected to provide technical assistance to import-impacted firms in preparing petitions for certification of eligibility under the program, and in developing and implementing adjustment proposals (business recovery plans) for such firms. Through this competition, EDA aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the program through enhanced program performance measurement, decreased program administrative costs, closer alignment of geographic service areas of TAACs with the service areas of EDA&amp;#8217;s six regional offices, and a more equitable distribution of services across all U.S. States and Territories. Applicants are advised to carefully read Appendix B, TAAF Eligibility and Program Requirements for TAACs, which outlines the programmatic and administrative requirements for operating a TAAC.EDA expects to fund up to 11 TAACs through this competition, each with a period of performance of up to five years. See section II. of this FFO. </Description>

        <Description>Funds under this award are to be used to develop an understanding of phylogenetic relationships that will help prioritize conservation of the remaining vernal pool habitants. Phylogenetic analysis will be conducted through the use of samples available from museum archives and collected samples on five species: Branchinecta lynchi, Lepidurus packardi, Linderiella occidentalis, B. conservation, and B. mesovallensis. Standard protocols will be used to collect mitochondrial DNA sequence data and construct individual phylogenetic trees for each species of concern. The trees will be used to examine overall genetic diversity of each species throughout its range, and to provide managers with a map describing areas of vernal pools or vernal pool complexes where maximum numbers of vernal pool branchiopod lineages can be found for each of the five species. This award is made under the authority of: the Endangered Species Act of 1973, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq, as amended.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2016 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part B Base, AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Base, Pacific Island Jurisdiction Part B/ADAP Base, ADAP Supplemental, Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI), and Emerging Communities (EC). The purpose of this grant program is to assist States and Territories in developing and/or enhancing access to a comprehensive continuum of high quality HIV care and treatment for low-income people living with HIV (PLWH). For the purposes of this program, &amp;#8220;States&amp;#8221; include the District of Columbia and &amp;#8220;Territories&amp;#8221; include the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. This program supports the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) which is inclusive of the HIV Continuum of Care Initiative. The goals of NHAS are to reduce HIV incidence, increase access to care and optimize health outcomes, and reduce HIV-related health disparities. A comprehensive system of HIV care includes the 13 core medical services specified in the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, Section 2612(b)(3) [42 U.S.C. 300ff-21(b)(3)], as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-87). Comprehensive HIV care beyond these core services may include supportive services that meet the criteria of enabling individuals and families living with HIV to access and remain in primary medical care to improve their medical outcomes. These core and appropriate support services assist PLWH in accessing treatment for HIV infection that is consistent with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Treatment Guidelines (see http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov). The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) recognizes that the RWHAP Part B/ADAP recipients must use grant funds to support, develop and expand systems of care to meet the needs of PLWH. HAB requires RWHAP Part B/ADAP Programs to conduct needs assessments and use needs assessment data to make decisions on needed services to eliminate barriers faced by PLWH in accessing and remaining in medical care. Important Notes: &amp;#183; The Early Identification of Individuals with HIV/AIDS (EIIHA) requirements in this funding announcement have been updated and streamlined. Please review carefully when preparing this section of your application. &amp;#183; The application includes requests for information about the jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s HIV Care Continuum. Applicants should include a table and narrative for the jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s HIV Care Continuum and discuss how the HIV Care Continuum is being utilized for planning and service implementation. The following information will assist in understanding and completing this year&amp;#8217;s grant application: &amp;#183; RWHAP Part B funds are subject to Section 2612(b)(1) of the PHS Act, which requires that not less than 75 percent of the portion of the grant remaining after reserving amounts for administration, planning/evaluation and clinical quality management be used to provide core medical services that are needed in the State/Territory for PLWH who are identified and eligible under the RWHAP. Support services allowed under RWHAP Part B are limited to services that are needed for individuals with HIV to achieve their medical outcomes as defined by the RWHAP. The most recent service definitions can be found in the latest version of the National Monitoring Standards. &amp;#183; Applicants seeking a waiver to the core medical services requirement must submit a waiver request either with this grant application, at any time up to the application submission, or up to four (4) months after the start of the grant award for FY 2016. Submission should be in accordance with the Federal Register Notice, Vol. 78, No.101, dated Friday, May 24, 2013, found at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-05-24/pdf/2013-12354.pdf. The HAB Policy 13-07, Federal Register Notice and Sample Letters can all be found at http://hab.hrsa.gov/manageyourgrant/policiesletters.html. If submitting with the application, a core medical services waiver request should be included as Attachment 10. &amp;#183; Agreements and Compliance Assurances are included (Appendix A) with this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), and require the signature of the Chief Elected Official (CEO), or the CEO&amp;#8217;s designee; this document should be included as Attachment 9.</Description>

        <Description>NOAA&amp;#8217;s Office of Ocean Exploration &amp;amp; Research (OER) is soliciting pre-proposals followed by full proposals for bold, innovative, multi-partner, interdisciplinary ocean exploration projects in the following areas of interest: 1) physical, chemical and biological characterizations of unknown or poorly known regions of the deep ocean, especially areas deeper than 500 m. 2) baseline characterization of marine archaeological resources at any depth; and 3) technology that advances ocean exploration and has application to NOAA related missions. Through this announcement, NOAA OER anticipates the availability of approximately $3 million. The actual funding amount is contingent upon FY 2016 Congressional appropriations. OER estimates making 3-10 awards that will range from about $50,000 to $1.5 million. Funding for ship or submersible assets, if required, must be included in the proposal. Leveraging with ship time supported outside of this funding opportunity is strongly encouraged. </Description>

Proposed projects will address urban runoffpollution through diverse partnerships that produce multiple community benefits, with emphasis on underserved communities. Note that proposed project activities must take place entirely within one of the Eligible Geographic Areas, as illustrated on the interactive map provided on the Urban Waters Small Grants mapping website at http://www2.epa.gov/urbanwaters/urban-waterssmall-grants-mapping.EPA&amp;#8217;s Urban Waters Program helps local residents and their organizations, particularly those in underserved communities, restore their urban waters in ways that also benefit community and economic revitalization. One of the ways the Urban Waters Program is accomplishing this mission is through the Urban Waters Small Grants Program. This program recognizes that healthy and accessible urban waters can help grow local businesses and enhance educational, recreational, social, and employment opportunities in nearby communities. </Description>

        <Description>Central Africa is a globally important region for forest and biodiversity conservation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) works closely with national governments, U.S. agencies, and a range of other partners to ensure a strategic, results-based approach to wildlife conservation in the region. In collaboration with U.S. Agency for International Development&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s (USAID) Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE), USFWS is providing this funding opportunity to reduce threats to key wildlife populations, and to develop the requisite individual and institutional conservation capacity to undertake long-term conservation programs. Please see A Results-Based Vision for Conservation in Central Africa on the USFWS website for greater detail on our approach to wildlife conservation in Central Africa. Funding will only be considered for projects that impact wildlife populations in the following countries: Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and S&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;o Tom&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; and Pr&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;ncipe. Please review each USFWS funding priority below for specific details, including what USFWS wants to achieve through its funding support (i.e., Desired Results). Each funding priority also identifies factors that, in USFWS experience, are basic requirements (also known as prerequisites or enabling conditions) for projects to effectively implement proposed activities. Applicants should address these factors in the Statement of Need. USFWS supports wildlife conservation projects in Central Africa through multiple mechanisms: the Wildlife Without Borders Africa (WWB-Africa) Program, and the funds created by Congressional acts for the conservation of African elephants, great apes and marine turtles. In general, applicants are encouraged to submit a proposal to WWB-Africa if their project falls under one of the six funding priorities listed below. In order to maximize funding opportunities, USFWS staff may move proposals between the WWB-Africa Program and the Species Funds.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part B AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Emergency Relief Funding (ERF). ADAP is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration&amp;#8217;s (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), Division of State HIV/AIDS Programs (DSHAP). Limited New Competing ADAP ERF awards are intended for States/Territories that demonstrate the need for additional resources to prevent, reduce, or eliminate ADAP waiting lists, including through cost-containment measures (for example, the provision of health insurance assistance). Limited new competing ADAP ERF awards will be based on the applicant&amp;#8217;s ability to successfully demonstrate need for additional funding. This demonstrated need will be evaluated by an external Objective Review Committee (ORC) based on criteria published in this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), with priority given to addressing waiting lists. States/Territories with an existing ADAP waiting list reported to HRSA must use all funding awarded under this announcement to remove clients from the waiting list. States/Territories that did not report an existing waiting list to HRSA must use funding awarded under this announcement to prevent a waiting list through &amp;#8220;cost-cutting&amp;#8221; and/or &amp;#8220;cost-saving&amp;#8221; measures (e.g., establishment of a health insurance assistance program).</Description>

        <Description>Funds under this award are to be used to conduct fire and climate history research at Desert National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) near Las Vegas, Nevada. The overall goal of this project is to provide Desert NWR managers with critical climate and fire history information necessary to effectively manage ponderosa pine habitats on the Refuge. Understanding past climate and fire interactions will allow Refuge managers to better anticipate how vegetation and fire regimes may be affected by predicted future climate change and to develop appropriate conservation strategies. The initial performance/ funding period will require the development of a detailed research proposal and preliminary analysis of samples that have already been collected; additional performance/ funding periods will be added as funds are available and will support one graduate student at the University of Nevada, Reno to conduct the research. This award is made under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended, 16 U.S.C. (742f (a)(4). </Description>

        <Description>Recently, anthropogenic sources have increased the amount of persistent noise in the environment primarily from transportation networks and increasing human population. Loud soundscapes dominated by anthropogenic noise have costs, many of which have only been revealed in the last few years. Recent work has documented substantial changes in animal foraging and anti-predator behavior, reproductive success, density and community structure in response to anthropogenic noise. In this study, entitled &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;Soundscapes as coupled systems of biodiversity and human experience&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; we will develop a social-ecological approach to the measurement of soundscapes in National Parks. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for Social and Behavioral Interventions to Increase Organ Donation, a grant program administered by the Division of Transplantation (DoT), Healthcare Systems Bureau (HSB), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The overall goal of this grant program is to reduce the gap between the demand for organ transplants and the supply of organs from deceased donors by identifying successful strategies that can serve as model interventions to increase: 1) deceased organ donation registration among people over 50 years old 2) family discussion and knowledge about donation among adolescents, and actual registration among adolescents, where possible 3) consent of parents[1] for donation of a deceased minor child&amp;#8217;s organs 4) knowledge about the opportunities for and risks and benefits of living organ donation Accordingly, this program will support sound applied research studies to test the effectiveness of strategies that target any of the four program objectives listed above including their potential to have wide impact on the availability of organs for transplant in the U.S. While the program focuses on organ donation, it is hoped that successful strategies may increase eye and tissue donation as well. For purposes of this program, model interventions are defined as those that are: (1) effective in producing a verifiable and demonstrable impact on any of the program objectives identified above; (2) replicable; (3) transferable; and (4) feasible in practice. All projects must have rigorous methodology and quantitative evaluation components capable of ascertaining the effectiveness of the intervention(s). While quantitative research would most strongly demonstrate effectiveness, qualitative components may add useful information. The budget and timeline should reflect a strong research methodology. Applications may propose pilot or extension projects. A pilot project tests an intervention that has not before been tested for its utility and effectiveness in the donation field. An extension project builds on results of a pilot project by adjusting or adding some new dimension to the original intervention in attempts to strengthen the intervention. Projects also may test the effectiveness of a purposefully and logically coordinated and synchronized set of multiple strategies for increasing donation in specified populations. Projects that propose the use of multiple strategies are required to measure the independent effects of each strategy as well as the interactive effect of the various strategies. Applications that propose new ideas and novel approaches that are cost-effective in achieving DoT program objectives and demonstrate utility for the donation and transplantation community are encouraged. Applicants also are encouraged to consider implementing strategies that have been successful in other public health fields and evaluating their effectiveness for use in the donation field. Because of the disproportionately high need for kidney transplants in minority populations and the greater likelihood of finding a donor of similar blood type within the same ethnic or racial group, applications focusing on minority populations are encouraged. Applicants have considerable flexibility in proposing interventions, including: the focus and nature of the intervention, intervention sites(s), geographic location(s), target group(s), etc. insofar as they are consistent with those specified for this FOA. Sound conceptual models of behavioral change must inform the intervention and various components of the methodology. Increased attention is given to project impact. Study designs will be reviewed for their potential to be replicated at the end of the grant period in similar or other parts of the country or with similar or other target populations. The aim is to foster more immediate and widespread use of successful interventions and ultimately increase availability of organs for transplant. Inclusion of more than one target population, oversampling specific population(s), or implementation in more than one geographic location are methods that may be employed to strengthen study findings and replication potential. [1] In this document reference to &amp;#8216;parents&amp;#8217; is to be understood to include parents, guardians, or other persons authorized under applicable laws to consent to such donation.</Description>

        <Description>The National Council on Disability (NCD) is statutorily mandated to produce an annual Progress Report to the White House and Congress. The findings in this report primarily serve to assist policymakers, including the White House and Congress, with insight needed to make policy decisions designed to improve outcomes for people with disabilities. The report also provides stakeholders, such as people with disabilities and those who support them, with an understanding of policy, legislation, and initiatives that impact their lives. Previous Progress Reports can be viewed at: http://www.ncd.gov/progress_reports. The 2016 Progress Report will examine how technology has or can be leveraged to improve the lives of people with disabilities in various areas, such as integrated community living, housing, transportation, employment, education, health care, and long-term services and supports. The report should support that access to technology which improves the lives of people with disabilities is a right, not a privilege. Thus, this research will examine the barriers preventing the development and/or implementation of current or emerging technology that could serve to improve outcomes for people with disabilities, and determine what policy changes are needed so that people with disabilities fully benefit from the technology revolution. The research and recommendations will address how people with disabilities are faring in each of the above categories, through the lens of technology. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to encourage the use of a phased research approach to strengthen our understanding and utilization of the underlying mechanisms and processes associated with mind and body interventions.This FOA will support two-phased research applications to (1) uncover the underlying biological, neurological, physiological, and/or behavioralmechanisms or processes relevant to mind and body interventions (e.g. meditation, spinal manipulation, massage, yoga, tai chi, hypnosis, acupuncture) and then, (2) to utilize the results from the initial phase to improve, refine, enhance, or strengthen the identified mechanisms or processes through either rigorous validation and refinement of the intervention, or using combined approaches that, together, willmodulate the underlying mechanism or process.This second phase should also be able to provide preliminary evidence that the mechanism or process modulated by the intervention is associated with a functional outcome or clinical benefit for a specific condition or disorder.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this document is to advise the public that NOAA/NOS/National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)/Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR) is soliciting proposals under the Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise (EESLR) Program to evaluate and quantify the ability of coastal natural and nature-based features to mitigate the effects of sea level rise (SLR) and inundation (storm surge, nuisance flooding, and/or wave run-up) effects on coastal ecosystems and communities through integrated field research and advancement of dynamic modeling tools. The overall goal of EESLR is to facilitate informed adaptation planning and coastal management decisions through a multidisciplinary research program that results in integrated models and tools of dynamic physical and biological processes capable of evaluating vulnerability and resilience under multiple SLR, inundation, and coastal management scenarios. The geographic scope of this particular EESLR funding announcement is limited to coastal regions of (1) southern California, defined as San Louis Obispo County south to the US/Mexico border, and (2) the Gulf of Mexico. Funding is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2016 Federal appropriations. It is anticipated that up to $800,000 may be available in Fiscal Year 2016 for the first year of research. Approximately 2 to 4 proposals, for approximately 3-4 years in duration, are expected to be funded at a level not to exceed $300,000 per year per proposal. In addition to this annual funding limit, any proposals submitted with total budgets (across all years) that are greater than $1,200,000 will not be considered for funding. Electronic Access: Background information about NOAA&amp;#8217;s Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise Program can be found at http://coastalscience.noaa.gov/research/climate/sea_level_rise. Proposals should be submitted through Grants.gov, http://www.grants.gov. </Description>

        <Description>FY 2015 Project Focus Area The focus area of the FY 2015 WIC Special Project Full and Mini Grants is Participant Integrity in the WIC Program. This focus area is intended for applicants who would like to implement and evaluate innovative strategies for maintaining or improving participant and program integrity. The 1999 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report entitled Efforts to Control Fraud and Abuse in the WIC Program Can Be Strengthened, indicated a concern about the appearance of impropriety in the certification and income eligibility process of WIC participants. The report goes on to indicate that not maintaining the integrity of the certification and eligibility process may damage the public&amp;#8217;s trust in the WIC Program. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will consider Full and Mini Grant applications aimed at helping State agencies develop, implement and evaluate new or innovative methods to ensure participant integrity in the WIC Program. Examples of successful projects may include but not limited to:&amp;#8226; addressing separation of duties in WIC clinics,&amp;#8226; improving and refining the verification of certification (VOC) procedures, improving adjunctive income eligibility verification, &amp;#8226; documenting household size, &amp;#8226; evaluating investigative tools to prevent, monitor and investigate the online sale of infant formula and other WIC foods, &amp;#8226; preventing interstate and intrastate dual participation,&amp;#8226; preventing exchanging of authorized foods for cash, and&amp;#8226; developing strategies to prevent participant fraud and abuse are all areas of specific concern. </Description>

        <Description>The Research in Disabilities Education (RDE) program advances the goal of broadening the participation and achievement of postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM. This effort is realized by making strategic investments in educational and institutional Model Building and in basic and applied Broadening Participation Research in STEM Education (BPR). Model Building projects develop, replicate, translate and utilize innovative educational and institutional capacity building models to broaden the participation of postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM fields. Models employ evidence-based educational exemplars that improve the learning, participation, persistence and graduation of students with disabilities in associate, baccalaureate and graduate STEM degree programs. BPR projects promote efforts to understand the underlying issues contributing to the differential learning, participation and graduation rates of postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM. Particular emphasis is placed on contributing to the knowledge base by investigating the STEM learning characteristics and differences of postsecondary students with disabilities. Educational research about students with disabilities in STEM is advanced by studying the educational and pre-professional experiences that influence student interest, academic performance, retention and persistence in degree programs, degree completion and career choices. RDE projects contribute to closing the achievement gaps for postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM fields, including students enrolled in community colleges, baccalaureate degree programs and graduate schools.RDE-Model Building (RDE-MB) - These projects broaden the participation and achievement of postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM by creating, replicating, translating and implementing innovative educational and institutional capacity building models. RDE-MB projects employ evidence-based educational exemplars that improve the learning, participation, persistence and graduation of postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM degree programs. These projects must have a strong theoretical base and initiatives must be justified by the relevant educational, disability, and social science research. RDE-Broadening Participation Research in STEM Education (RDE-BPR) - These projects to investigate the underlying issues affecting the differential learning, participation, retention and graduation rates of postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM. Proposed research may investigate learning and educational influences as well as organizational, institutional or systemic processes that broaden the participation of postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM. Disability should be the main focus of the research and analysis, with race, ethnicity, gender, economic status, and/or veteran status as potential secondary foci. Projects catalyze the acquisition of knowledge that may inform interventions impacting learning, persistence, and graduation in STEM for postsecondary students with disabilities under certain conditions and in specific educational contexts. BPR can also be found in other solicitations in the Divison of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (DRL) and in the Division of Human Resource Development (HRD). DRL&amp;apos;s Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE) solicitation has a strand called BPR that converges with elements of the Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE) and RDE solicitations; the new BPR strand is jointly managed by DRL and HRD with coordination by the RDE, GSE and REESE programs.</Description>

        <Description>The Naval Postgraduate School Center for Multi-INT Studies (CMIS) has a bold vision to transform the field of intelligence and seeks to vastly improve the current state of the art in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). To this end, CMIS supports innovative, independent research that has the potential to expand knowledge in related areas. As real-time, accurate and actionable intelligence products are demanded by analysts, warfighters, and decision makers, linear, human-intensive processes are no longer sufficient. The capabilities of current and future adversaries and the dynamism and complexity of the environments in which they operate necessitate vast improvements in the timeliness and execution of intelligence-cycle processes. Humans do not have the cognitive ability or the time to analyze the vast quantities of multi-source, multi-dimensional data that are now available. Revolutionary decision support, situational awareness, sensemaking, inferencing, reasoning, and visualization capabilities must be employed to expediently unlock the information contained in these myriad streams of data. CMIS envisions a future where cognitive technologies can anticipate strategic and tactical information needs, perceptively orchestrate distributed sensors across every domain (cyber, human, terrestrial, air, sea, space, etc.), and deliver timely and accurate recommendations to kinetic and/or non-kinetic agents (human and/or machine) to employ required actions. The transformative technologies of interest are: &amp;#8226; Representing targets as systems &amp;#8226; Orchestrated resource management &amp;#8226; Computational models for sensemaking &amp;#8226; Human-computer symbiosis &amp;#8226; New approaches for establishing/addressing the scientific underpinnings of Multi-INT &amp;#8226; Maritime Domain Awareness/Anomaly Detection </Description>

        <Description>The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), invites grant applications for Training Project Grants (TPGs) that are focused on occupational safety and health training. NIOSH is mandated to provide an adequate supply of qualified personnel to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the TPGs are one of the principal means for meeting this mandate. The majority of TPGs are in academic institutions that provide high quality training in the core occupational safety and health disciplines of industrial hygiene (IH), occupational health nursing (OHN), occupational medicine residency (OMR), occupational safety (OS), as well as closely related allied disciplines. NIOSH also funds non-academic programs to meet specific training needs of targeted populations including firefighters, commercial fishermen and occupational health and safety interns.</Description>

        <Description>The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) invites applications for Centers for Agricultural Safety and Health (Ag Centers). Ag Centers are expected to conduct high quality research and help translate scientific discoveries into practical applications to improve worker safety and health in the areas of agriculture, forestry, and fishing. Center functions should include developing integrated approaches that link basic science with translation and outreach activities. Center structure should take advantage of diverse scientific resources and focus on local, regional, and/or national worker safety and health issues. Centers should place emphasis on the creation and implementation of evidence-based solutions that address important agricultural safety and health problems. Collaborations with other academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and other occupational safety and health focused groups are expected. Applicants must concisely describe the occupational health burden within their service area and directly link research and outreach activities to help alleviate the burden. Applicants should also clearly articulate the anticipated impacts of the proposed work, both during the project period and beyond. </Description>

        <Description>Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)and Request for Proposals(RFP); Solicitation of Project Proposals for the Low or No Emission Vehicle Deployment Program (LoNo) Program. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces the availability of $22.5 million of Fiscal Year 2015 funds for the deployment of low or no emission transit buses. Of that amount, a minimum of $3.0 million must be spent for supporting facilities and related equipment. Synopses and full announcement are posted on Grants.gov site as opportunity FTA-2015-006-TRI. SUMMARY: The main purpose of the LoNo Program is to deploy the cleanest and most energy efficient U.S.-made transit buses that have been largely proven in testing and demonstrations but are not yet widely deployed in transit fleets. The LoNo Program provides funding for transit agencies for capital acquisitions and leases of zero emission and low-emission transit buses, including acquisition, construction, and leasing of required supporting facilities such as recharging, refueling, and maintenance facilities.</Description>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. SUMMARY: The Deputy Director for Policy and Research, delegated the duties of the Director, of the Institute of Education Sciences (Institute) announces the Institute&amp;apos;s FY 2016 grant competition for Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions and Low- Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions. The Deputy Director for Policy and Research takes this action under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002. The Institute&amp;apos;s purpose in awarding these grants is to support rigorous evaluations of education interventions that State educational agencies (SEAs) or local educational agencies (LEAs) believe will produce meaningful improvements in student outcomes within a short period (for example, within a single semester or academic year), that can be conducted at low cost, and that will provide policymakers with valid and useful results more rapidly than is typically achieved in education research. Purpose of Program: The purpose of the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions and Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions grant programs is to support rigorous evaluations of education interventions implemented by SEAs and LEAs that have important implications for improving student education outcomes. The evaluations are low cost because they rely on administrative records or other available data and are completed within a two-year period. The evaluations are rigorous because they use randomized controlled trials or regression discontinuity designs that, if well implemented, would meet What Works Clearinghouse evidence standards without reservations for determining the effectiveness of interventions. The evaluations are to be carried out by partnerships between research institutions and SEAs or LEAs. Implementation of the intervention to be evaluated is to be supported by the SEA and/or LEA and not by the grant. The education intervention to be evaluated should be implemented and the key outcomes collected within the first year of the project, and the analysis and dissemination should be completed by the end of the second year of the project. In order to meet this schedule, projects should focus on interventions that are expected to produce meaningful results quickly (for example, within one semester or school year) and that rely on outcome measures that are readily available to researchers. Competitions in This Notice: The Institute&amp;apos;s National Center for Education Research (NCER) will hold one competition for the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions Grant Program (84.305L). The Institute&amp;apos;s National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) will hold one competition for the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions Grant Program (84.324L). Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.305L. Applications for grants under Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions, CFDA number 84.305L, and Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions, CFDA number 84.324L, must be submitted electronically using the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site at www.Grants.gov. Through this site, you will be able to download a copy of the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit your application. You may not email an electronic copy of a grant application to us. You may access the electronic grant applications for the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions competition and the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions competition at www.Grants.gov. You must search for the downloadable application packages for these competitions by the CFDA number, 84.305L or 84.324L.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. The Deputy Director for Policy and Research, delegated the duties of the Director, of the Institute of Education Sciences (Institute) announces the Institute&amp;apos;s FY 2016 grant competition for Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions and Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions. The Deputy Director for Policy and Research takes this action under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002. The Institute&amp;apos;s purpose in awarding these grants is to support rigorous evaluations of education interventions that State educational agencies (SEAs) or local educational agencies (LEAs) believe will produce meaningful improvements in student outcomes within a short period (for example, within a single semester or academic year), that can be conducted at low cost, and that will provide policymakers with valid and useful results more rapidly than is typically achieved in education research. Purpose of Program: The purpose of the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions and Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions grant programs is to support rigorous evaluations of education interventions implemented by SEAs and LEAs that have important implications for improving student education outcomes. The evaluations are low cost because they rely on administrative records or other available data and are completed within a two-year period. The evaluations are rigorous because they use randomized controlled trials or regression discontinuity designs that, if well implemented, would meet What Works Clearinghouse evidence standards without reservations for determining the effectiveness of interventions. The evaluations are to be carried out by partnerships between research institutions and SEAs or LEAs. Implementation of the intervention to be evaluated is to be supported by the SEA and/or LEA and not by the grant. The education intervention to be evaluated should be implemented and the key outcomes collected within the first year of the project, and the analysis and dissemination should be completed by the end of the second year of the project. In order to meet this schedule, projects should focus on interventions that are expected to produce meaningful results quickly (for example, within one semester or school year) and that rely on outcome measures that are readily available to researchers. Competitions in This Notice: The Institute&amp;apos;s National Center for Education Research (NCER) will hold one competition for the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions Grant Program (84.305L). The Institute&amp;apos;s National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) will hold one competition for the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions Grant Program (84.324L). Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 9501 et seq. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.324L. Applications for grants under Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions, CFDA number 84.305L, and Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions, CFDA number 84.324L, must be submitted electronically using the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site at www.Grants.gov. Through this site, you will be able to download a copy of the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit your application. You may not email an electronic copy of a grant application to us. You may access the electronic grant applications for the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Education Interventions competition and the Low-Cost, Short-Duration Evaluation of Special Education Interventions competition at www.Grants.gov. You must search for the downloadable application packages for these competitions by the CFDA number, 84.305L or 84.324L.</Description>

        <Description>DE-FOA-0001410: Request for Information: Teaming Partner List for Upcoming Funding Opportunity Announcement: Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers &amp;amp; Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) &amp;#8211; 2016 The United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) Building Technologies Office (BTO) strongly encourages outstanding scientists and engineers from different organizations, scientific disciplines, and technology sectors to form new project teams. Interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration spanning organizational boundaries enables and accelerates the achievement of scientific and technological outcomes that were previously viewed as extremely difficult, if not impossible. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is compiling a Teaming Partner List to facilitate the formation of new project teams for the anticipated Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers &amp;amp; Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) &amp;#8211; 2016 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). The Teaming Partner List will be available as an attachment to this RFI on EERE Exchange at https://eere-Exchange.energy.gov, and moved to FOA DE-FOA-0001383 when available. The Teaming Partner List will be updated periodically until the close of the Full Application period for the FOA, to reflect new Teaming Partners who have provided their information. The full content of the announcement can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This RFI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to BENEFITFOATeamingRFI@ee.doe.gov . It is recommended that responses be submitted no later than 5:00pm (ET) on December 15, 2015. However, responses will be accepted up to the Full Application deadline for FOA DE-FOA-0001383. </Description>

        <Description>This is a Request for Information only. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance. The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform the possible formulation of future programs. ARPA-E seeks input from researchers from a broad range of disciplines, including the physical, computer, and social sciences and all engineering disciplines, regarding the development and adoptability of advanced telepresence technologies in the context of reducing the energy use associated with transportation. These may include, but are not limited to, advanced technologies and concepts relating to 2D or 3D telecommunications, virtual or augmented reality, brain-computer interface, robotics for telelabor, and any other mixed reality technologies. Any opportunities for development and potential technical solutions that might be of interest to ARPA-E would require a demonstrable path to reducing the amount that people use energy in the transportation sector. Of essential importance is the argument that, whatever the technology or concept is, an individual would prefer it to the energy-intensive status quo. This would therefore relegate the potential emissions reductions and fuel import reductions as positive externalities, not primary motivations. The information you provide may be used by ARPA-E in support of program planning. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THIS NOTICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA). NO FOA EXISTS AT THIS TIME. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing a new initiative to significantly accelerate adoption of sustainable clean and energy efficiency strategies in remote rural Alaskan communities. For the purposes of this initiative, &amp;#8221;remote or rural areas&amp;#8221; include communities with a population of 5,500 or less that are not connected by an all-weather road or rail to Anchorage or Fairbanks, or with a population of 1,500 or less that are connected by road or rail to Anchorage or Fairbanks. Through the proposed competitive process, the Remote Alaskan Communities Energy Efficiency Competition is being designed to empower Alaskan communities to develop solutions for effectively advancing the use of reliable, affordable, and energy efficient solutions that are applicable throughout rural communities in Alaska and potentially in other Arctic regions. It is anticipated that DOE may have up to $4 million in technical assistance and other support through this initiative. The RFI will gather input from Alaskan stakeholders as well as others to help shape the design of the competition and ensure the goals and activities of the initiative are relevant to remote rural Alaskan communities. The purpose of this RFI is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This RFI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. All responses to this RFI must be provided as an attachment (in Microsoft Word format) electronically to: AlaskaCompetition@hq.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm ET on October 30, 2015.</Description>

        <Description>The Secretary of the Interior established the Land Buy-Back Program for Tribal Nations (Buy-Back Program, Program) to implement the land consolidation provisions of the Cobell Settlement Agreement, which provided $1.9 billion to consolidate fractional land interests across Indian country. The Buy-Back Program allows interested individual owners to sell their land for immediate transfer to the recognized tribe that exercises jurisdiction. This effort will strengthen tribal sovereignty and put decision-making in the hands of the tribal government, freeing up resources that have been locked-up as land interests that have fractionated over time. The Buy-Back Program has announced 42 locations where land consolidation activities such as planning, outreach, mapping, mineral evaluations, appraisals or acquisitions are scheduled to take place through the middle of 2017. The Buy-Back Program is interested in partnering with the eligible tribes that have jurisdiction over these 42 locations, as well as any locations that are added to the implementation schedule, to gain their direct participation in land consolidation efforts given tribes&amp;#8217; unique qualifications to perform land consolidation activities for their reservations. Consequently, the Program intends to, whenever feasible and practical, enter into single source cooperative agreements with these eligible tribes to not only capitalize on their unique knowledge of their reservations but also to improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the Program. Eligible tribes will be given the opportunity to apply for a cooperative agreement, whenever feasible and practical, prior to the implementation of the Buy-Back Program at the location under their jurisdiction. The Buy-Back Program will continue to expand to other reservations over the next several years, and tribes with jurisdiction over locations not yet scheduled for implementation will receive information about how they can participate once their reservations are scheduled. Tribes are encouraged to contact Program staff for more information on developing the cooperative agreement application prior to submission. Tribes are not required to enter into cooperative agreements to participate in the Program. In certain cases, it may be unnecessary and other vehicles, such as memorandums of agreements, may be used. The Settlement Agreement limits the amount of funding that may be used for implementation costs associated with the Program (e.g., outreach, land research, and appraisals). Thus, to help ensure that it stays within the established limit on implementation costs, the Program will fund indirect costs through cooperative agreements equal to no more than 15% of the modified total direct costs. PLEASE NOTE: This is a 10-year program. The expiration on this posting reflects this current opportunity, and new opportunities will be posted over the duration of the Program. In addition, given that the Cobell Settlement specifically limits overall implementation costs for the duration of the Program, cooperative agreement awards are not intended to fund or support long-term, multi-year programs at each location or reservation. Most awards will provide funding for no longer than 1 year, and tribes are encouraged to utilize the award amount to work with existing tribal land offices and programs. Tribes are also encouraged to first review mapping and other information available from the Program and to work with Program staff in the development of the cooperative agreement application. </Description>

        <Description>Request for Information - Independent Field Testing of Methane Emissions Detection Technologies This is a Request for Information only. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance. The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform the possible formulation of future programs. The Advanced Research Projects Agency &amp;#8211; Energy (ARPA-E) is considering providing financial assistance for operation of a multi-user field test site of (including some construction) for priority use by its MONITOR (Methane Observation Networks with Innovative Technology to Obtain Reductions) program awardees. ARPA-E is seeking information on associated capabilities, costs, and other considerations for operating such a field test site. The MONITOR program will support 11 project teams over three years (totaling $30M) to develop technologies focused on the detection, quantification, and localization of methane emissions. The field test site would enable MONITOR awardees to assess the technical performance of their technologies under realistic conditions on a simulated natural gas well pad. The information you provide may be used by ARPA-E in support of program planning. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THIS NOTICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA).

        <Description>The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command&amp;#146;s (USAMRMC) mission is to provide solutions to medical problems of importance to the American Service member at home and abroad, as well as to the general public at large. The scope of this effort and the priorities attached to specific projects are influenced by changes in military and civilian medical science and technology, operational requirements, military threat assessments, and national defense strategies. The extramural research and development programs play a vital role in the fulfillment of the objectives established by the USAMRMC. General information on USAMRMC can be obtained at https://mrmc.detrick.army.mil/. This Fiscal Year 2016 (FY16) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is intended to solicit extramural research and development ideas and is issued under the provisions of the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-369), as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.102(d)(2) and 35.016. In accordance with FAR 35.016, projects funded under this BAA must be for basic and applied research and that part of development not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. Projects must be for scientific study and experimentation directed toward advancing the state-of-the-art or increasing knowledge or understanding rather than focusing on a specific system or hardware solution. Research and development funded through this BAA is intended and expected to benefit and inform both military and civilian medical practice and knowledge. This BAA provides a general description of USAMRMC&amp;#8217;s research and development programs, including research areas of interest, evaluation and selection criteria, pre-proposal/pre-application and full proposal/application preparation instructions, and general administrative information. Specific submission information and additional administrative requirements can be found in the document titled &amp;#8220;General Submission Instructions&amp;#8221; available in Grants.gov along with this BAA. This FY16 BAA is continuously open for a 12-month period, from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Submission of a pre-proposal/pre-application is required and must be submitted through the electronic Biomedical Research Application Portal (eBRAP) (https://eBRAP.org/). Pre-proposals/pre-applications may be submitted at any time throughout the 12-month period. If the USAMRMC is interested in receiving a full proposal/application, the PI will be sent an invitation to submit via eBRAP. A full proposal/application must be submitted through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/). Invited full proposals/applications can be submitted under the FY16 BAA through September 30, 2016.</Description>

        <Description>This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Research Announcement (NRA) solicits materials science research proposals to define broadly scoped investigations to be conducted aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The research will be conducted as part of the NASA Physical Sciences MaterialsLab Open Science Campaign. The solicitation (NNH15ZTT002N), entitled &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Materials Science &amp;#8211; MaterialsLab Open Science Campaigns for Experiments on the International Space Station,&amp;quot; will be available on or about September 25, 2015. The solicitation will be found via the following steps: 1. Open the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ 2. Select &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; 3. Select &amp;quot;Open Solicitations&amp;#8221; 4. Select &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Materials Science NNH15ZTT002N&amp;#8221; 5. Select &amp;#8220;Research Opportunities in Materials Science NNH15ZTT002N&amp;quot; under Announcement Documents. NASA&amp;apos;s Physical Sciences Research Program conducts fundamental and applied physical sciences research, with the objective of enabling improved space systems and technological advances that support new products and other benefits on Earth. NASA&amp;apos;s experiments in the various disciplines of physical science reveal how physical systems respond to the near absence of gravity. They also reveal how other forces that on Earth are small, as compared to gravity, can dominate system behavior in space. This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits materials science research proposals to define broadly scoped investigations to be conducted aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The research will be conducted as part of the NASA Physical Sciences MaterialsLab Open Science Campaign. Proposers are expected to define high-content experiments that explore a broad range of questions and gather a significant amount of data. These data will be made available to the global community of researchers through the NASA Physical Sciences Informatics (PSI) system (http://psi.nasa.gov ). This NRA solicits research proposals in the following four themes: 1) Thermophysical Property Measurements; 2) Materials Processes Affecting Microstructure, Composition, and the Resultant Material Characteristics; 3) Biophysics, specifically the Biomaterials and Biofilms subthemes; and 4) Liquid Crystals Research Using a Modified OASIS Experiment. Selected investigators will be assigned by NASA to a Science Definition Team by NASA that may include investigators from other selected proposals that provide complementary expertise to the investigation being conducted. This solicitation is applicable to researchers in all categories of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including educational institutions, industry, nonprofit organizations, NASA Centers and other U.S. Government agencies. Proposals including international participation are eligible, provided NASA policies regarding the conduct of research with non-U.S. organizations are met. Proposals solicited through this NRA will use a two-step proposal process. Step-1 proposals are required and shall be submitted by October 29, 2015. Step-1 proposals will be reviewed at NASA for relevance to the Research Emphases outlined in the NRA and for consistency with the Science Definition Team requirements described in the NRA. Proposers whose proposals are evaluated to be relevant will be invited to submit full Step-2 proposals. Step-2 proposals must be submitted by January 14, 2016. Proposals must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Proposals must be submitted electronically. Proposers may use either NSPIRES (http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ ) or Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov ) for Step-1 proposal submission; invited Step-2 proposals must be submitted via NSPIRES for proposal submission. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organization representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. Instructions on how to register in NSPIRES are provided in the NRA. Lead proposers and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES . Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Questions with regard to responding to this NRA may be addressed to the contacts referenced in the full solicitation document. This is a broad agency announcement as specified in FAR 6.102 (d)(2). Notwithstanding the posting of this opportunity at FedBizOpps.gov, nspires.nasaprs.com, or Grants.gov, NASA reserves the right to determine the appropriate award instrument for each proposal selected pursuant to this announcement. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S Department of Energy seeks to provide support for regionally-diverse Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects through collaborative partnerships. By providing funding, technical assistance, and government coordination to accelerate deployment of these demonstration projects, DOE can help eliminate uncertainties, mitigate risks, and help create a robust U.S. Offshore Wind Energy Industry. The primary goals of the Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects are to: 1. Install innovative offshore wind systems in U.S. waters in the most rapid and responsible manner possible, and 2. Expedite the development and deployment of innovative offshore wind energy systems with a credible potential for lowering the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) below 10 cents / kWh or the local hurdle price at which offshore wind can compete with other regional generation sources without subsidies. With over 4,000 GW of gross potential that is relatively close to key load centers, offshore wind energy can help the nation reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, diversify its energy supply, provide cost-competitive electricity to key coastal regions, and stimulate economic revitalization of key sectors of the economy. However, if the nation is to realize these benefits, key challenges to the development and deployment of offshore wind technology must be overcome, including the relatively high current cost of energy, technical challenges surrounding installation and grid interconnection, and the untested permitting or approval processes. DOE seeks technology demonstration projects that combine innovation with pathways for substantial cost reduction opportunities. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for the EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website http://eere.energy.gov/financing/exchangeExchange/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system.

        <Description>The goal of the ASR program is to improve the scientific understanding and treatment of clouds, aerosols, and radiative transfer processes in atmospheric models, that in turn are combined with ocean, terrestrial, and ice sheet models to make projections of climate change. ASR conducts research to: determine the properties of, and interactions among, aerosols, clouds, precipitation, and radiation that are most critical to understand in order to improve their representation in climate models; ascertain the roles of atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamic structure, radiation, surface properties, and chemical and microphysical processes in the life cycles of aerosols and clouds, and develop and evaluate models of these processes; and identify and quantify processes along the aerosol-cloud-precipitation continuum that affect the radiative fluxes at the surface and throughout the atmosphere and the radiative and latent heating rate profiles, and improve the ability to accurately model these processes.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION    To be eligible for funding under this APS, applications must propose people-to-people programs as described in Section A.1 above.    Potential partners include but are not necessarily limited to:  private voluntary organizations, foundations, colleges and universities, civic groups, faith-based and community institutions, international organizations, private businesses and associations, regional organizations, philanthropic organizations, and advocacy groups. For-profit applicants should note that USAID policy prohibits the payment of fee/profit to the prime recipient under grants and cooperative agreements.  Forgone profit does not qualify as cost-sharing or leveraging.  USAID encourages applications from potential new partners.     I. Types and Nationalities of NGOs    1. U.S. and Non-U.S. Non-Profit Organizations  Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. private non-profit organizations may apply for USAID funding under this APS.  Foreign government-owned parastatal organizations from countries that are ineligible for assistance under the FAA or related appropriations acts are ineligible.    2. U.S. and Non-U.S. For-Profit Organizations   Potential for-profit applicants should note that, pursuant to 22 CFR 226.81, the payment of fee/profit to the prime recipient under grants and cooperative agreements is prohibited.  Forgone profit does not qualify as cost-sharing or leveraging.  However, if a prime recipient has a (sub)-contract with a for-profit organization for the acquisition of goods or services (i.e., if a buyer-seller relationship is created), fee/profit for the (sub)-contractor is authorized.    3. U.S. and Non-U.S. Colleges and Universities  Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. colleges and universities may apply for funding under this APS.   USG and USAID regulations generally treat colleges and universities as NGOs, rather than governmental organizations; hence, both public and private colleges and universities are eligible.  Non-U.S. colleges and universities in countries that are ineligible for assistance under the FAA or related appropriations acts are ineligible.    II. Private Voluntary Organization (PVO)  A local or indigenous PVO, which by definition is a non-U.S. PVO operating in the same foreign country in which it is organized, that is not already registered with USAID is eligible to receive funding. However, such organizations are encouraged to consider registration.  In accordance with 2 CFR 203,  U.S. PVO or an &amp;#147;International PVO&amp;apos;&amp;apos;,  which by definition is a non-U.S. PVO that performs development work in one or more countries other than the country in which it is domiciled, must be registered with USAID to be eligible to receive funding.  For more information on registering with USAID as a PVO, please see:    http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/cross-cutting_programs/private_voluntary_cooperation/reg.html      III. Public International Organizations (PIOs)  PIOs are eligible to apply for funding under this APS.  Please see Automated Directives Series (ADS) 308 for USAID policy on defining PIOs.  http://www.usaid.gov/policy/ads/300/308.pdf         </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Atmospheric System Research Program (ASR) in the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD), Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), supports research on key cloud, aerosol, precipitation, and radiative transfer processes that has the potential to improve the accuracy of regional and global climate models. The ASR program hereby announces its interest in research grant applications to develop new proof-of-concept data products from ARM site instruments, such that new data products represent novel and improved information involving geophysical variables that in turn are utilized by regional and global climate models. Of most interest are improved data products for those geophysical quantities that currently exhibit large errors or uncertainties and/or have been limiting the predictability of climate models.</Description>

        <Description>The Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program is authorized at 16 U.S.C. 1445c-1 and 16 U.S.C. 1445c to recognize outstanding achievement in master&amp;#8217;s and doctoral studies in oceanography, marine biology, maritime archaeology and all other science, engineering, social science and resource management disciplines involving ocean and coastal areas, and particularly encourages women and members of minority groups to apply. The scholarship supports independent graduate level research through financial support of graduate studies in such fields. Gender and minority status are not considered when selecting award recipients. However, special outreach efforts are employed to solicit applications from women and minorities. Scholarships are distributed by disciplines, institutions, and geography, and by degree sought, with selections within distributions based on financial need, the potential for success in a graduate level studies program (academic achievement), and the potential for achieving research and career goals. The program is administered through the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries and is funded annually with 1% of the amount appropriated each fiscal year to carry out the National Marine Sanctuaries Act.</Description>

        <Description>Invasive surgical procedures provide the unique ability to record and stimulate neurons within precisely localized brain structures in humans. Human studies using invasive technology are often constrained by a limited number of patients and resources available to implement complex experimental protocols and are rarely aggregated in a manner that addresses research questions with appropriate statistical power. Therefore, this FOA seeks applications to assemble integrated, multi-disciplinary teams to overcome these fundamental barriers. Projects should investigate high-impact questions in human neuroscience and disorders of the human nervous system. The research should be offered as experimental projects, or exploratory research and planning activities, for building teams, generating data and empirical results that will later compete for continued funding under new or ongoing FOAs of the BRAIN Initiative or under NIH Institute appropriations. </Description>

        <Description>The Great Ape Conservation Fund is soliciting project proposals for the conservation of apes [gorillas (Gorilla gorilla); chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes); bonobos (Pan paniscus); orangutans (Pongo spp.); and gibbons (family Hylobatidae)] throughout their ranges. The U.S. Government enacted the Great Ape Conservation Act of 2000 in response to the decline of ape populations in Africa and Asia. The Act provides for the conservation and protection of apes by supporting conservation programs of countries within the range of apes, and the projects of persons with demonstrated expertise in the conservation of apes.</Description>

        <Description>Scholarly Editions and Translations grants support the preparation of editions and translations of pre-existing texts of value to the humanities that are currently inaccessible or available in inadequate editions. Typically, the texts and documents are significant literary, philosophical, and historical materials; but other types of work, such as musical notation, are also eligible. Projects must be undertaken by at least one editor or translator and one other collaborating scholar. These grants support full-time or part-time activities for periods of one to three years. Applicants should demonstrate familiarity with the best practices recommended by the Association for Documentary Editing or the Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions. Translation projects should also explain the theory and method adopted for the particular work to be translated. Editions and translations produced with NEH support contain scholarly and critical apparatus appropriate to the subject matter and format of the edition. This usually means introductions and annotations that provide essential information about a text&amp;#8217;s form, transmission, and historical and intellectual context. Proposals for editions of foreign language materials in the original language are eligible for funding, as well as proposals for editions of translated materials. </Description>

        <Description>This initiative is funded through the NIH Common Fund, which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have exceptionally high impact. All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress. The purpose of the Knockout Mouse Phenotyping Project (KOMP2) is to produce a comprehensive resource of null-mutant mice, and associated phenotype data, for the purpose of elucidating functional information for each protein-coding gene in the mammalian genome. The goal of this FOA is to provide informatics support to NIH funded projects that are performing high-throughput broad based phenotyping of mouse knock-out (KO) lines (see RFA-RM-15-017) and to coordinate with international efforts so as to integrate all data into a common database under the auspices of the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC). The Data Coordination Center and Database (DCCDB) will perform the curation, analysis, visualization, and dissemination of the phenotype data from the knockout lines. Curation will require integration with other data sources. Analysis will require further development and validation of statistical methods.Visualization and queries will require innovative tools to disseminate the data in a real-time environment. The ultimate goals of these efforts are to enhance the ability of the biomedical research community to identify new disease models, to better understand phenotypic patterns, and to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying function of each gene.</Description>

        <Description>The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Fund is soliciting proposals for the conservation of rhinoceroses and/or tigers throughout their ranges. The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act was passed in 1994 to provide financial resources for conservation of rhinoceros and tiger populations. The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Fund supports projects that promote conservation through: Enhanced protection of at-risk rhinoceros and tiger populations; Protected area/reserve management in important rhinoceros and tiger range; Veterinary care for wild populations; Habitat conservation and management; Reintroduction to former range; Restoration of habitat; Wildlife inspection, law enforcement, and forensics skills; Conservation education and community outreach; Efforts to decrease human-rhinoceros and human-tiger conflicts; Strengthening local capacity to implement conservation programs; Transfrontier rhinoceros and tiger conservation; Applied research on rhinoceros and tiger populations and their habitats, including surveys and monitoring; Development and execution of rhinoceros and tiger conservation management plans; and Compliance with applicable treaties and laws that prohibit or regulate the taking or trade of rhinoceros and tigers or regulate the use and management of their habitat; Reducing demand for illegal rhino and tiger parts, products and live animals in consumer countries; Combatting trafficking of illegal rhino and tiger parts, products and live animals. Proposed project work should occur within the rhinoceros or tiger range, or, if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show clear relevance to rhinoceros or tiger conservation. If the project includes research, the applicant must provide a convincing argument that the research addresses priority threats and that the results are likely to result in management actions. Priority will be given to projects involving indigenous subspecies within natural range. Ex situ populations are not eligible. Funding decisions will also take in the degree of endangerment of the taxon, with more funding directed to more imperiled subspecies. </Description>

        <Description>This initiative is funded through the NIH Common Fund, which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have exceptionally high impact. All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for research projects to make maximum progress toward the goal of producing a null-mutant mouse phenotype resource for each gene in mouse strain C57BL/6, for the purpose of elucidating functional information for each protein-coding gene in the mammalian genome. The specific objectives of this FOA are to generate mutant mouse lines using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, perform phenotyping assays, conduct quality control assessments, cryopreserve germplasm, and make mice and data readily available to the research community. The mouse is the ideal mammalian system in which to produce a functional genomics resource because of the long history and depth of understanding of mouse genetics, the sophistication of assistive reproductive technology in the mouse system, short generation times, and the low cost of working with mice in comparison to other mammals. The recent breakthroughs in CRISPR/Cas9 technology make the mouse an even more cost effective model system and will drive technology of mouse production. The goal of this FOA is to support high-throughput broad based phenotyping of approximately 600 null-mutant mouse lines per year, with an overall goal of 3,000 lines for this five-year project period of the Knockout Mouse Phenotyping Program (KOMP2).</Description>

This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/. Questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at sara@nasa.gov.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research in Environmental Systems Science (ESS), including Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) and Subsurface Biogeochemical Research (SBR). The mission of the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD) within BER is to advance a robust predictive understanding of Earth&amp;#8217;s climate and environmental systems and to inform the development of sustainable solutions to the Nation&amp;#8217;s energy and environmental challenges. The goal of the Environmental System Science (ESS) activity in the Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) is to advance a robust predictive understanding of terrestrial environments, extending from bedrock to the top of the vegetated canopy and from molecular to global scales in support of DOE&amp;#8217;s energy and environmental missions. Using an iterative approach to model-driven experimentation and observation, interdisciplinary teams of scientists work to unravel the coupled physical, chemical and biological processes that control the structure and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems across vast spatial and temporal scales. State-of-science understanding is captured in conceptual theories and models which can be translated into a hierarchy of computational components and used to predict the system response to perturbations caused, for example, by changes in climate, land use/cover or contaminant loading. Basic understanding of the system structure and function is advanced through this iterative cycle of experimentation and observation by targeting key system components and processes that are suspected to most limit the predictive skill of the models. </Description>

        <Description>The mission of the long-term accelerator R&amp;amp;D stewardship program is to support fundamental accelerator science and technology development of relevance to many fields beyond High Energy Physics, and to disseminate accelerator knowledge and training to the broad community of accelerator users and providers. This call for applications is focused on two distinct activities: (1) applied R&amp;amp;D that is focused on developing a prototype in response to a specific technical challenge, and (2) basic research that broadly impacts many accelerator applications. These activities are divided into two separate &amp;#8220;Tracks&amp;#8221; in this Funding Opportunity Announcement. Proposals must address a topic in one Track only. Topics may not be combined between Tracks as the proposal format, eligibility requirements, and merit criteria differ significantly.</Description>

        <Description>This Administrative Supplement funding opportunity is part of the Common Fund Metabolomics Program created to increase and improve the nations ability to undertake metabolomics analyses in translational and clinical research. Metabolomics has great potential to advance our understanding of human diseases, but requires specialized expertise in metabolomics study design, technology, and data analysis and interpretation. This FOA supports supplemental funds to current NIH-funded research projects for new interactive collaborations between basic or clinical researchers and metabolomics experts to add a metabolomics approach to the existing Research Strategy for the project. In addition to enhancing the parent grant by adding metabolomics analyses, collaborative projects must include activities to increase the expertise of the biomedical research group in key aspects of metabolomics study design, analysis, and data interpretation.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>    On December 19, 2011, we published a notice   in the Federal Register (76 FR 78621) inviting applications for new awards for FY 2012 for the UB Program (NIA). On January 25, 2012, we published a second notice in the Federal Register (77 FR 3751) extending the deadline date for the transmittal of applications to February 1, 2012, and extending the deadline date for Intergovernmental Review to April 2, 2012.          Shortly before the revised application deadline date, it came to the Department&amp;apos;s attention that some informational materials made available on a Department Web site contained an error that may have led some applicants to incorrectly respond to one of the competitive preference priorities. Following a review of the nature and extent of the error and concerns about its potential effects on applicants&amp;apos; scores, the Department is reopening the competition for two weeks to provide time for applicants that submitted timely applications under the February 1, 2012, deadline and that may have been affected by this error to submit amended applications.      This opportunity will be limited to a specific subset of applicants that meet certain demonstrated criteria. The Department will compare amended applications submitted in accordance with this notice with the original submissions to ensure the applicant satisfies the criteria for a resubmission. The Department will not accept any amended application that fails to meet the criteria set forth in this notice.        Eligible Applicants: Institutions of higher education; public and private agencies and organizations, including community-based organizations with experience in serving disadvantaged youth; combination of these institutions, agencies, and organizations; and secondary schools. </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The FY15/16 Vision Research Program (VRP) challenges the scientific community to design innovative research that will foster new directions for, and address neglected issues in, the field of vision research. The FY15/16 VRP Technology/Therapeutic Development Award (TTDA) is a mission-driven award intended to provide support for the translation of promising preclinical findings into products for clinical applications, including detection, diagnosis, treatment, or quality of life, in at least one of the FY15/16 VRP TTDA Capability Gaps. Products in development should be responsive to the health care needs of military Service members, Veterans, and other individuals living with visual dysfunction. NOTE: In keeping with the intent of this award mechanism, at the end of this period of performance, this work should be sufficient to support an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE), Investigational New Drug (IND) or continue to clinical trials (where applicable). The product(s) to be developed may be a tangible item such as a pharmacologic agent (drugs or biologics) or device, or a knowledge-based product such as clinical guidance for standard of care. The Principal Investigator (PI) must provide a transition plan (including potential funding and resources) showing how the product will progress to the next level of development (e.g., clinical trials, delivery to the military or civilian market) after the completion of the VRP award. Proof-of-concept demonstrating the potential utility of the proposed product, or a prototype/preliminary version of the proposed product, should already be established. Applications must include relevant data that support the rationale for the proposed study. These data may be unpublished and/or from the published literature. Examples of the types of research that may be supported include, but are not limited to: Testing new therapeutic modalities (agents, delivery systems, and chemical modification of lead compounds) using established or validated preclinical systems; Designing and implementing pilot or full-scale Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) production of therapeutics and/or delivery systems for use in advanced preclinical trials; Developing pharmacologic agents through preclinical absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) studies; Developing pharmacologic agents to IND stage for eventual initiation of Phase I clinical trials; Developing prototype devices to the IDE stage for eventual initiation of clinical trials; Preclinical optimization of diagnostic or treatment devices for field deployment. To meet the intent of the FY15/16 VRP Technology/Therapeutic Development Award (TTDA), the research proposals must address one or more of the Capability Gaps listed below: Inadequate mitigation and treatment of damage to ocular structures and the visual system consequent to military-relevant injuries and diseases incident to military service. Research into ocular damage that occurs in the general public will also be considered, as there may be similarities and related treatments in the two populations; Inadequate treatments and technologies for injuries and diseases to ocular structures and visual systems to include, optic neuropathy, retinal injury, lid and adnexal injuries and ocular polytrauma; Inadequate strategies and techniques for controlling scarring and/or pathological healing response in traumatized ocular tissues; Inadequate intraocular devices or tamponade agents for retinal detachment repair compatible with aeromedical evacuation. Inadequate vision restoration and regeneration: Inability to restore form and function of lids, adnexal, orbital and ocular tissues (optic nerve, cornea, retina, and uvea) following injury. Lack of knowledge, capabilities, and equipment for early responders to diagnose and mitigate military-relevant eye injuries and diseases in austere or remote environments; Lack of methods and/or devices to assist in the location of entrance wounds and rupture sites in traumatic eye injuries; Lack of portable diagnostic tools and technologies for field use to detect ocular injuries and diseases.</Description>

        <Description>The Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) Joint Program Committee 8/Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine Research Program (JPC-8/CRMRP) Extremity Regeneration Technology/Therapeutic Development Award (ERTTDA) is intended to support the translation of promising preclinical findings into products focused on extremity regeneration. The focus is on bone and soft tissue reconstruction, limb and tissue salvage technologies, and regenerative medicine technologies for the treatment of trauma-induced damage. All products in development should be responsive to the health care needs of military Service members, Veterans, and other Military Health System beneficiaries, as well as the general public. All applications must specifically and clearly address the military relevance of the proposed research.The product(s) to be developed may be a tangible item such as a pharmacologic agent (drugs or biologics) or device, or a knowledge-based product such as clinical guidance for standard of care. The Principal Investigator (PI) must provide a transition plan (including potential funding and resources) showing how the product will progress to the next level of development (e.g., clinical trials, delivery to the military or civilian market) after the completion of the award.Proof-of-concept demonstrating the potential utility of the proposed product, or a prototype/preliminary version of the proposed product, should already be established. Applicants must include relevant data that support the rationale for the proposed study. These data may be unpublished and/or from the published literature.Examples of the types of research that may be supported include, but are not limited to: Developing and validating clinical guidance/guidelines for standard of care; Testing new therapeutic modalities (agents, delivery systems, and chemical modification of lead compounds) using established or validated preclinical systems; Designing and implementing pilot or full-scale Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) production of therapeutics and/or delivery systems for use in advanced preclinical and initial clinical trials; Developing pharmacologic agents through absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) studies;Developing pharmacologic agents to Investigational New Drug (IND) stage for initiation of Phase I clinical trials; Developing prototype devices to Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) stage for initiation of clinical trials; Optimizing diagnostic or treatment devices for field deploymentTo meet the intent of the FY15 JPC-8/CRMRP ERTTDA, applicants must specifically address one or both of the Focus Areas listed below; (1) Treatments of soft tissue injury, specifically, nerve, muscle, and vascular injury to the extremities. The aim of these technologies is to: (a) maintain the structure and function of denervated end organs distal to a nerve injury; (b) restore functional muscle tissue; and (c) restore vascular perfusion. Both innovative definitive care solutions as well as innovative technologies that may better enable a definitive care solution to be delivered at some future time point, such as vascular shunting or stenting technologies, will be considered; (2) Treatments for bone healing, for example, technologies that create a wound environment more conducive to bone healing following injury to the extremities.</Description>

        <Description>The FY15/16 Vision Research Program (VRP) Clinical Trial Award (CTA) supports research with the potential to have a major impact on the treatment or management of visual injury and/or dysfunction. Funding from this award mechanism must support a clinical trial and should not be used for preclinical research studies. To meet the intent of the FY15/16 VRP CTA, the research proposals must address one or more of the Capability Gaps listed below: Inadequate mitigation and treatment of damage to ocular structures and the visual system consequent to military-relevant injuries and diseases incident to military service. Research into ocular damage that occurs in the general public will also be considered, as there may be similarities and related treatments in the two populations. This includes but is not limited to: inadequate treatments and technologies for injuries and diseases to ocular structures and visual systems to include, optic neuropathy, retinal injury, lid and adnexal injuries and ocular polytrauma; inadequate strategies and techniques for controlling scarring and/or pathological healing response in traumatized ocular tissues. Inadequate vision restoration and regeneration: inability to restore form and function of lids, adnexal, orbital and ocular tissues (optic nerve, cornea, retina, and uvea) following injury; inadequate vision surrogates and appropriate rehabilitation. Lack of knowledge, capabilities, and equipment for early responders to diagnose and mitigate military-relevant eye injuries and diseases in austere or remote environments: lack of methods and/or devices to assist in the location of entrance wounds and rupture sites in traumatic eye injuries; lack of portable diagnostic tools and technologies for field use to detect ocular injuries and diseases. The five Focus Areas are listed below and have been developed to address the Capability Gaps listed above. All applications are highly encouraged to address at least one of the following Focus Areas: Phase I/Phase II clinical trials to evaluate safety and/or efficacy of treatments or technologies to reduce/control scarring and/or pathological healing response(s) after military-relevant ocular/visual system injury; Phase I/Phase II clinical trials to evaluate safety and/or efficacy of treatments or technologies restoring form and function to: (1) orbit and ocular tissues (optic nerve, retina, and uvea), (2) eyelid, and/or (3) adnexal structures; Phase I/Phase II clinical trials to demonstrate feasibility and safety and/or efficacy of vision surrogates for those with low or no vision post-injury and appropriate rehabilitation; Phase I/Phase II clinical trials for evaluation of technologies to identify the location of entrance wounds and rupture sites in traumatic eye injuries; Phase I/Phase II clinical trials for evaluation of technologies to detect and quantify white blood cells, red blood cells and proteins in both the aqueous and vitreous humor.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Primary Care Training and Enhancement (PCTE) program. Program Purpose The overarching purpose of the PCTE program is to strengthen the primary care workforce by supporting enhanced training for future primary care clinicians, teachers, and researchers. Program Requirements In FY 2016, applicants for the PCTE program must focus on training for transforming healthcare systems, particularly enhancing the clinical training experience of trainees. Some of the characteristics identified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that are closely associated with transformed healthcare delivery systems include: &amp;#8226; Providers across the care continuum participate in integrated or virtually integrated delivery models, &amp;#8226; Care is coordinated across all providers and settings, &amp;#8226; There is a high level of patient engagement and quantifiable results on patient experience, &amp;#8226; Providers leverage the use of health information technology to improve quality, &amp;#8226; Providers perform at the top of their license and board certification, &amp;#8226; Population health measures are integrated into the delivery system, and &amp;#8226; Data is used to drive health system processes.[1] In addition, projects that address the social determinants of health while addressing health care delivery transformation are encouraged.

        <Description>The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) requests interested entities to submit restoration, research and Regional Project proposals for the restoration of the Great Lakes Basin fish and wildlife resources, as authorized under the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act (16 USC 941c). The purpose of the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act (GLFWRA) is to provide assistance to States, Indian Tribes, and other interested entities to encourage cooperative conservation, restoration and management of the fish and wildlife resources and their habitats in the Great Lakes Basin. Regional Projects are authorized activities of the Service related to fish and wildlife resource protection, restoration, maintenance, and enhancement impacting the resources of multiple States or Indian Tribes with fish and wildlife management authority in the Great Lakes Basin. The Service will be responsible for accomplishing Regional Projects on behalf of the State and or Tribal agencies submitting the Regional Project proposal. Supported in part by President Obama&amp;apos;s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a total of approximately $1.7 million is projected to support projects this fiscal year. Available funding and project awards are subject to final Congressional appropriations for Fiscal Year 2016. Up to 33 percent of the total Congressional appropriation to the GLFWRA is eligible to fund Regional Projects. Restoration and research projects require a 25 percent non-federal match. Regional Projects selected shall be exempt from cost sharing if the Service&amp;apos;s Midwest Region Director determines that the authorization for the project does not require a non-Federal cost-share. The two page pre-proposal and Regional Project proposals are submitted to the Service for review. Successful restoration and research applicants are invited to submit full proposals, which are reviewed and ranked by the Proposal Review Committee. Successful restoration and research projects have ranged from $2,300 to $2,000,000 with the average project at $120,529.</Description>

        <Description>The Dixie Valley Ground Water Export Study is being conducted by an interagency study team consisting of representatives of Reclamation, Churchill County, Nevada, Nevada Division of Water Resources and U.S. Geological Survey. The primary purpose of the study is to quantify the amount of groundwater that could be exported from Nevada&amp;#8217;s Dixie Valley and conveyed to other locations within Churchill County. Primary study objectives include: 1) quantifying the valley&amp;#8217;s perennial yield based on groundwater discharge evaluations, and 2) analyzing the impacts of exporting specific quantities of groundwater.The recipient&amp;#8217;s subcontractor, Interflow Hydrology, Inc., is developing a calibrated numeric flow model to be used in the evaluation of potential water supply development by Churchill County (above primary study objective 2). </Description>

        <Description>Background: Wild Burro populations on BLM lands exceed allowable management levels (AML) in the majority of herd management areas (HMA) where wild burros are found. It is not feasible to remove the excess wild burros because of the high costs of such removals and the attendant costs of adoption and long-term holding. One management strategy that BLM has prioritized is to reduce burro population growth on the range. Immunizing horses and burros with porcine zona pellucida (PZP) leads to an immunological reaction such that treated animals have lower fertility. Treatment with PZP requires an initial dose, and a booster dose at least two weeks after the initial dose. Ideally, PZP is then boostered annually to achieve contraception for the year following booster application. The BLM has received a proposal from the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to initiate an adaptive management project involving PZP in the vicinity of Oatman, Arizona, where burro populations are high and where some burros are habituated to proximity with people. With the BLM&amp;apos;s collaboration, the partner will be trapping, handling, marking, treating burros with PZP, and then monitoring the foaling outcomes for treated and untreated female burros. Note: Although the BLM has been in discussions with the Humane Society of the United States regarding this unsolicited proposal and intends to financially assist them with this project, other applicants are invited to submit proposals for consideration. The HSUS and other partners will be required to bring a substantial (3:1, Partner:BLM) cost-sharing commitment to the project. Objectives: Through financial assistance, the BLM seeks to support and foster an adaptive management project demonstrating the use of PZP on habituated and non-habituated wild burros, where there will be close monitoring of results, and where there may be potential lessons for subsequent management elsewhere. Specific objectives of the desired project are to treat approximately 20 habituated female burros in the vicinity of Oatman, AZ, with PZP and to treat approximately 75 or more non-habituated female burros in the surrounding areas with PZP, with boostering via darting in some cases and in hand in other cases; to document effort required to effect that treatment; and to monitor the foaling rate outcomes of treated and non-treated female burros. Public Benefit: Wild burros in the vicinity of Oatman, Arizona, attract tourists to the town and are a notable public benefit. At the same time, burros can pose a hazard to vehicle drivers in the area. A demonstration project that uses the PZP contraceptive agent to reduce burro population growth in this geographic area would be of value to the public by stabilizing the number of burros present in the area to a number that is manageable as a tourist draw and prevent damage local natural resources. Having a well-known demonstration project will entice more tourism in the area in order to see individually-recognizable burros and learn more about burro ecology and management. Assisting and supporting such a project will also be of value as an example of wild burro population growth suppression which can inform wild burro management in other areas.</Description>

        <Description>The NOAA Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Hawaii Program is a federal funding opportunity which meets NOAA&amp;apos;s mission of science, service and stewardship. This B-WET program supports the vision of a future where societies and their ecosystems are healthy and resilient in the face of sudden or prolonged change. The purpose for this financial assistance is to support our communities by developing a well-informed citizenry involved in decision-making that positively impacts our coastal, marine and watershed ecosystems in the State of Hawaii. This opportunity is a competitively-based grant that provides funding to assist in the development of new programs, encourage innovative partnerships among environmental education programs and support geographically targeted programs to advance environmental education efforts that complement national and state school requirements. The B-WET Hawaii Program plays a foundational role as an environmental education program that promotes locally relevant, experiential learning in the K-12 environment on priority topics, such understanding climate, ocean and earth sciences and community resilience to hazards. Funded projects provide meaningful watershed educational experiences for students, professional development for teachers, service learning opportunities for students, and support regional education and environmental priorities.</Description>

        <Description>Consultation. Museums and Federal agencies must consult with known Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations in compiling a NAGPRA inventory and when responding to claims and interests of potential claimants to items in the NAGPRA summary. Consultation should lead to determining control, treatment and disposition of NAGPRA-related human remains and objects. The consultation process is outlined in 43 CFR 10.5, 10.8 (a),10.9 (b) and 10.11.Documentation. The term documentation refers to data that will lead to determining the geographical origin, cultural affiliation, and basic facts surrounding the acquisition of Native American human remains and cultural items to further the NAGPRA process.</Description>

These awards are intended to support coral reef conservation projects in shallow water coral reef ecosystems, including reefs at mesophotic depths, in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Florida, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and coral-dominated banks in U.S. portions of the Gulf of Mexico. Projects may be proposed in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and the U.S. Pacific Remote Island Areas, but these locations are not considered geographic priorities under this announcement. Proposals submitted to this competition must address at least one of the following four categories: 1) Fishing Impacts; 2) Land-Based Sources of Pollution; 3) Climate Change; and 4) Local and Emerging Management Issues. Each category is described in more detail in the Federal Funding Opportunity announcement. All proposed work must be consistent with Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) National Goals and Objectives 2010-2015 (http://coralreef.noaa.gov/aboutcrcp/strategy/currentgoals/resources/3threats_go.pdf) and/or the relevant Jurisdictional Coral Reef Management Priorities (http://coralreef.noaa.gov/aboutcrcp/strategy/reprioritization/managementpriorities) developed for each of the seven states and territories. Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will be implemented through a grant and will require a 1:1 match of non-Federal funds. Funding for this program is subject to the availability of FY 2016 Congressional appropriations and is expected to range between approximately $800,000 to approximately $1,000,000. Funding made available from NOAA&amp;apos;s Coral Reef Conservation Program is intended to support priority coral reef management activities as described in Section I(B) of this Federal Funding Opportunity announcement. Funding will be divided among the U.S. Pacific and Atlantic regions to maintain the geographic balance of the CRCP portfolio overall, as required by the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000. NOAA expects that each applicant will request Federal funding at a funding level between $30,000 and $80,000 under this solicitation and that the average award size will be approximately $50,000, with a project period of 12 or 18 months. </Description>

        <Description>This FOA invites applications for continuation of the Collaborative Islet Transplantation Registry (CITR). Since 2001, this registry has compiled and analyzed islet transplantation data with the intent to capture all clinical activity in North America. The registry will collect data and develop and maintain sophisticated databases to be used by the research community and CITR investigators for publications and presentations. CITR will also prepare an annual report summarizing outcomes of islet transplantation and trends over time. Collection and analysis of this information will contribute to identification of critical risk factors and key determinants of therapy success for type 1 diabetes patients for which islet transplantation is a therapy option. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for a two-year FY 2016 Nurse Education, Practice, Quality, and Retention-Interprofessional Collaborative Practice: Behavioral Health Integration (NEPQR-IPCP:BHI) program to integrate interprofessional and collaborative models of behavioral health services into routine nurse-led primary care delivered in vulnerable and/or underserved/rural populations. In 2003, the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health report cited primary care as an area where patients need to receive more effective mental health assessment and treatment. Further, Healthy People 2020 recommends that early interventions, including behavioral health screenings, become an essential component of primary care visits. The Affordable Care Act created a federal infrastructure to integrate primary care and behavioral health services through increased access to mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment benefits. This increase in coverage also increases the demand for a competent health workforce, capable of working in an integrated setting. The NEPQR-IPCP:BHI program aims to expand the evidence-based practice of integrating behavioral health providers into nurse-led primary care teams in order to increase access to care, enhance care coordination and improve patient outcomes in vulnerable and/or underserved community- based settings. Program Requirements NEPQR-IPCP:BHI recipients will increase access to quality behavioral health care by delivering team-based, integrated primary care and behavioral health services in community-based settings. All applicants are required to: &amp;#183; Practice interprofessional, integrated care in a primary care setting. The primary care provider must be an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN); &amp;#183; Expand an existing nurse-led primary care team with the addition of at least one onsite full-time equivalent (FTE) licensed behavioral health provider. The integrated team must include a primary care provider (APRN), behavioral health provider, care coordinator, and consulting psychiatric provider; &amp;#183; Describe their current level of behavioral health integration (using the SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions six-level framework; http://www.integration.samhsa.gov/integrated-care-models/A_Standard_Framework_for_Levels_of_Integrated_Healthcare.pdf) and forecast how they will progress to higher levels of health care integration; &amp;#183; Propose an efficient plan to identify and treat behavioral health problems in the primary care setting. Use of the following evidence-based tools are required: o Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) approach &amp;#8211; to identify patients for unhealthy alcohol and substance use; and o Improving Mood-Promoting Access to Collaborative Treatment (IMPACT) approach &amp;#8211; to identify patients for depression; &amp;#183; Propose an innovative plan for achieving increased access to behavioral health services including a detailed description of how SBIRT and IMPACT will be implemented into the primary care setting; &amp;#183; Utilize an interoperative health IT system that enables the exchange of primary care and behavioral health clinical data to assess patient and project outcomes and ensure accountable care, and allows practitioners to utilize a common set of patient records that are constantly updated and available to each member of the provider team in real time; and &amp;#183; Describe a rapid cycle quality improvement (RCQI) method that identifies, implements, and measures changes made to improve the project&amp;#8217;s performance. Successful applicants will: Demonstrate a high level of need for behavioral health services within the target community/population; Implement an interprofessional collaborative practice model to deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, and integrated behavioral health services; Systematically identify and treat individuals in need of behavioral health services; and Explain how they will leverage existing behavioral health resources in and around the community to address service delivery gaps. To meet the goal of the program, award recipients are expected to use funds for the following activities: &amp;#183; Create more efficient and integrated practices that lead to high quality patient- and population-centered outcomes that can subsequently inform interprofessional education models; &amp;#183; Expand a nurse-led primary care team consisting of, at a minimum, a primary care provider (APRN), behavioral health provider, care coordinator, and consulting psychiatric provider (options include telebehavioral health); &amp;#183; Serve as a primary care/behavioral health integrated practicum site for interprofessional training for nursing and other health professions students; &amp;#183; Provide universal screening for depression and unhealthy alcohol and other drug use using SBIRT and IMPACT tools and provide necessary education and support, intervention, monitoring and follow-up; &amp;#183; Develop an effective referral arrangement for more intensive and/or any continuous treatment needs; &amp;#183; Implement rapid cycle quality improvement (RCQI) to identify, implement and measure changes made to improve the project&amp;#8217;s performance; &amp;#183; Evaluate the program, collect needed program information, and disseminate findings to appropriate audiences; &amp;#183; Develop a sustainable business model; and &amp;#183; Establish a formal arrangement for technical assistance to increase the level of behavioral health integration and enhance patient care delivery, allocated at no less than $25,000 per year. Applicants should be committed to increasing diversity in health professions programs and the health workforce. This commitment helps ensure, to the extent possible, that the workforce reflects the diversity of the nation. Programs should develop the competencies and skills needed for cross-cultural understanding and expand cultural fluency, recognizing that bringing people of diverse backgrounds and experiences together facilitates innovative and strategic practices that enhance the health of all people. Diversity refers to the multiplicity of human differences among groups of people or individuals. Increasing diversity means enhancing an individual&amp;#8217;s, group&amp;#8217;s, or organization&amp;#8217;s cultural competence; in other words, the ability to recognize, understand, and respect the differences that may exist between groups and individuals. Increasing diversity in the health care workforce requires recognition of many other dimensions including, but not limited to, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, age, cultural background, socio-economic status, disability, and language.&amp;#8221;</Description>

This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on May 4, 2012, and continue through March 22, 2013. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 16, 2012. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2013, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2012/ Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA, while questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: sara@nasa.gov; Telephone: 202-358-0879. </Description>

This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on May 4, 2012, and continue through March 22, 2013. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 16, 2012. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2013, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2012/ Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA, while questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: sara@nasa.gov; Telephone: 202-358-0879.</Description>

        <Description>Section 205 of the Act directs Reclamation to utilize funds from the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund and the Lower Colorado River Basin Development Fund (&amp;#8220;the Basin Funds&amp;#8221;) to provide the authorized cost share amounts in a manner that is consistent with the Act. Public Law 110-246 amended the Act creating the Basin States Program (&amp;#8220;the BSP&amp;#8221;), amending Section 205(f) of the Act to provide that cost share obligations be met through an up-front cost share from the Basin Funds, and authorizes Reclamation to expend the required cost share funds through the BSP for salinity control activities established under Section 202(a)(7) of the Act. The BSP falls under the Reclamation&amp;#8217;s Financial Assistance Program, and is defined as a Discretionary Grant; therefore, is governed by the rules and regulations for the Financial Assistance Program and Discretionary Grants. Reclamation has determined the Colorado Soil Conservation Board (&amp;quot;the CSCB&amp;quot;) to be an appropriate partner and has authorized the CSCB for a single-source award based on demonstrable criteria such as unique expertise and capacity. Section 202 of the Act includes salinity control measures implemented by the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (&amp;#8220;the NRCS&amp;#8221;) under their Environmental Quality Incentives Program (&amp;#8220;EQIP&amp;#8221;). Reclamation is authorized to utilize Basin Funds to cost share salinity measures implemented by the NRCS under EQIP with the CSCB.</Description>

        <Description>The Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (&amp;#8220;Brownfields Law&amp;#8221;, P.L. 107-118) requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish guidance to assist applicants in preparing proposals for grants to assess and clean up brownfield sites. EPA&amp;#8217;s Brownfields Program provides funds to empower states, communities, tribes, and nonprofits to prevent, inventory, assess, clean up, and reuse brownfield sites. EPA provides brownfields funding for three types of grants. 1. Brownfields Assessment Grants &amp;#8211; provides funds to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning (including cleanup planning) and community involvement related to brownfield sites. 2. Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grants &amp;#8211; provides funding for a grant recipient to capitalize a revolving fund and to make loans and provide subgrants to conduct cleanup activities at brownfield sites. 3. Brownfields Cleanup Grants &amp;#8211; provides funds to conduct cleanup activities at a specific brownfield site owned by the applicant. Under these guidelines, EPA is seeking proposals for Revolving Loan Fund Grants only. If you are interested in requesting funding for Assessment and/or Cleanup Grants, please refer to announcement EPA-OSWER-OBLR-15-04 (Assessment Grant guidelines) or EPA-OSWER-OBLR-15-06 (Cleanup Grant guidelines) posted separately on www.grants.gov and www2.epa.gov/brownfields/apply-brownfields-grant-funding.</Description>

        <Description>This is a request for information from the U.S. Department of Energy&amp;#8217;s (DOE) Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) concerning advanced thermal insulation for sub-ambient temperature alternative fuel storage systems. DOE requests information on how to maintain vacuum stability of systems, use of advanced composites within the systems, and accelerated test methods to determine performance and applicability of materials and systems for long-term cold and cryogenic based alternative fuel storage systems for onboard vehicle applications. Alternative fuels could include hydrogen or natural gas stored onboard the vehicle at sub-ambient temperatures as a compressed gas, liquefied gas or adsorbed onto a porous material. This is solely a request for information and not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. DOE will not respond to questions related to this RFI. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to H2Storage@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (EDT) on 11/06/2015. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email.

        <Description>The Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (&amp;#8220;Brownfields Law&amp;#8221;, P.L. 107-118) requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish guidance to assist applicants in preparing proposals for grants to assess and clean up brownfield sites. EPA&amp;#8217;s Brownfields Program provides funds to empower states, communities, tribes, and nonprofits to prevent, inventory, assess, clean up, and reuse brownfield sites. EPA provides brownfields funding for three types of grants:1. Brownfields Assessment Grants &amp;#8211; provides funds to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning (including cleanup planning) and community involvement related to brownfield sites.2. Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grants &amp;#8211; provides funds for a grant recipient to capitalize a revolving fund and to make loans and provide subgrants to conduct cleanup activities at brownfield sites.3. Brownfields Cleanup Grants &amp;#8211; provides funds to conduct cleanup activities at a specific brownfield site owned by the applicant.Under these guidelines, EPA is seeking proposals for Assessment Grants only. If you are interested in requesting funding for Cleanup and/or Revolving Loan Fund Grants, please refer to announcement EPA-OSWER-OBLR-15-06 (Cleanup Grant guidelines) or EPA-OSWER-OBLR-15-05 (Revolving Loan Fund Grant guidelines) posted separately on www.grants.gov and www2.epa.gov/brownfields/apply-brownfields-grant-funding.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this notice is to invite Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) with demonstrated expertise and experience in supporting coral reef management in the United States to submit proposals to establish partnerships with the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) to further the conservation of U.S. coral reefs. This document describes the coral reef conservation partnership(s) that the NOAA CRCP envisions, identifies the qualities that NOAA desires in a partner, and describes criteria against which applications will be evaluated for funding consideration. Partnerships selected through this notice will be implemented through a cooperative agreement of up to 48-months (4 years) in duration. Pursuant to Section 6403 of the Coral Reef Conservation Act (CRCA), 16 U.S.C. 6401-6409, and pending Congressional appropriations, CRCP funding of approximately $700,000 is expected to be available for initiating partnership(s) with up to four non-governmental organizations in Fiscal Year (FY) 2016. CRCP will consider funding either a single proposal that includes support for all seven coral reef states and territories or up to two proposals in the Pacific Islands (benefitting Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, and/or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) and up to two proposals in the Atlantic/Caribbean region (benefitting Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Applications may propose work plan of up to 48 months, in conformance with the requirements of Section IV of this announcement, and may request between $100,000 and $700,000 per year (approximately $100,000 per state or territory), depending on how many of the seven coral states and territories will benefit from the proposed project(s). As required by the CRCA, recipients are required to match NOAA&amp;apos;s Federal contributions with non-Federal matching contributions at a minimum ratio of 1:1 unless the applicant is granted a waiver to the matching requirement by the agency. </Description>

        <Description>The FY15 JPC-8/CRMRP ERI is intended to support Phase I, II, or pivotal clinical trial phase development projects focused on extremity regeneration. The focus is on bone and soft tissue reconstruction, limb and tissue salvage technologies, and regenerative medicine technologies for the treatment of trauma-induced damage. All clinical trials must be responsive to the health care needs of military Service members and Veterans, as well as the general public. All proposals/applications must specifically and clearly address the military relevance of the proposed research.Proposals/applications submitted to the FY15 JPC-8/CRMRP ERI must specifically address one or more of the Focus Areas listed below.&amp;#8226; The treatment of soft tissue injury, specifically, nerve, muscle, and vascular injury to the extremities. The aim of these technologies is to: (a) maintain the structure and function of end organs distal to a nerve injury, (b) restore functional muscle tissue, and (c) restore vascular perfusion. Both innovative care solutions as well as innovative technologies that may better enable a definitive care solution to be delivered at some future time point, such as vascular shunting or stenting technologies, will be considered.&amp;#8226; The treatment for bone healing, specifically technologies that create a wound environment more conducive to bone healing following injury to the extremities.Funding from this award mechanism must support a clinical trial and development-related efforts and may not be used for preclinical research studies. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. The term &amp;#8220;human subjects&amp;#8221; is used in this BAA to refer to individuals who will be recruited for or who will participate in the proposed clinical trial. For more information, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://cdmrp.org/Program_Announcements_and_Forms/Use of Human Anatomical Substances, Human Subjects, or Human Cadavers: All DoD-funded research involving new and ongoing research with human anatomical substances, human subjects, or human cadavers must be reviewed and approved by the USAMRMC Office of Research Protections (ORP), Human Research Protection Office (HRPO), in addition to the local Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee (EC) of record. Local IRB/EC approval at the time of submission is not required. The HRPO is mandated to comply with specific laws and requirements governing all research involving human anatomical substances, human subjects, or human cadavers that is supported by the DoD. These laws and requirements will necessitate information in addition to that supplied to the IRB/EC. Allow a minimum of 2 to 3 months for HRPO regulatory review and approval processes. Refer to the General Submission Instructions, Appendix 5, for additional information.If the proposed study involves the use of a drug biologic or device that is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is not covered by an existing Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE), or uses a drug, biologic or device that is being used outside of its FDA-approved indication and population (e.g., off-label), evidence that an IND or IDE application has been submitted or will be submitted within 60 days of award is required.&amp;#8226; If the proposed study will use clinical sites located outside of the United States and uses an investigational or off-label drug, biologic, or device, evidence that submission of the appropriate application to the regional regulatory authority has been or will be submitted within 60 days of award date is required.&amp;#8226; The Government reserves the right to withdraw funding if the appropriate regulatory approval application (e.g., IND, IDE) has not been submitted to the FDA or regional regulatory authority within 60 days of the DoD award date or if the documented status of the regulatory approval has not been obtained within 6 months of the award date.- A business plan that describes the product and industry development progression through FDA marketing application, and to the commercial market (if applicable), must be submitted within 60 days of the award.&amp;#8226; The Government reserves the right to withdraw funding if the business plan has not been submitted to the DoD within 60 days of the award date.The following are important aspects of a submission for the ERI:Relevance and Feasibility&amp;#8226; The proposal/application should describe how the proposed intervention to be tested will offer significant potential impact for military Service members, Veterans or the general public over current standard of care.&amp;#8226; The proposal/application should demonstrate availability of, and access to, a suitable patient population that will support a meaningful outcome for the study.&amp;#8226; The proposed clinical trial is initiated and can begin enrollment no later than 12 months after the award date.&amp;#8226; The proposal/application should demonstrate how accrual goals will be achieved and how standards of care may impact the study population.&amp;#8226; The proposal/application should demonstrate documented availability of and access to the drug, biologic, or device, if applicable, and/or other materials needed, as appropriate.Clinical Trial Elements&amp;#8226; The proposed clinical trial should include clearly defined, measurable, and appropriate endpoints.&amp;#8226; The proposal/application should include a clearly articulated statistical analysis plan, availability of appropriate statistical expertise, and a power analysis reflecting sample size projections that will clearly answer the objectives of the study and support an FDA marketing application, if applicable.- The proposal/application should indicate the availability of a study coordinator(s) who will guide the clinical protocol through the local IRB or EC of record and other regulatory approval processes, coordinate activities from all sites participating in the trial, and coordinate participant accrual.&amp;#8226; If an IND or IDE application is required to be submitted to the FDA, the proposal/application should describe the availability of appropriate support to prepare, submit, and maintain the IND or IDE application.&amp;#8226; If submission to a non-U.S. regional regulatory authority is required, the proposal/application should describe the availability of appropriate region-specific support to prepare, submit, and maintain the relevant application.&amp;#8226; Inclusion of preliminary data relevant to the proposed research project and FDA marketing application is required. Examples of preliminary data include preclinical toxicology, manufacture validation, quality systems audit/gap analysis, a summary of preclinical studies, and any prior clinical experience inside or outside of the United States.- In addition to requisite preliminary data, the proposed research project must be based on sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and critical review and analysis of the literature.Institutional Elements&amp;#8226; The proposal/application should include a post-award transition plan (including potential funding and resources) showing how the product would progress to the next clinical trial phase and/or delivery to the market after the successful completion of the work associated with this proposed award.&amp;#8226; The proposal/application should clearly demonstrate strong institutional support.</Description>

        <Description>In recent years, research published by Humanities Indicators, among others, has revealed that humanities PhDs pursue careers in many different professions&amp;#8212;both inside and outside academia. Yet most humanities PhD programs in the United States still prepare students primarily for tenure-track professor positions at colleges and universities. The increasing shortage of such positions has changed students&amp;#8217; expected career outcomes. NEH therefore hopes to assist universities in devising a new model of doctoral education, which can both transform the understanding of what it means to be a humanities scholar and promote the integration of the humanities in the public sphere. Next Generation Humanities PhD Planning Grants support universities in preparing to institute wide-ranging changes in humanities doctoral programs. Humanities knowledge and methods can make an even more substantial impact on society if students are able to translate what they learn in doctoral programs into a multitude of careers. Next Generation PhD Planning Grants are designed to bring together various important constituencies to discuss and strategize, and then to produce plans that will transform scholarly preparation in the humanities at the doctoral level. Students will be prepared to undertake various kinds of careers, and humanities PhD programs will increase their relevance for the twenty-first century. Next Generation Humanities PhD Implementation Grants support universities in instituting wide-ranging changes in humanities doctoral programs. Humanities knowledge and methods can make an even more substantial impact on society if students are able to translate what they learn in doctoral programs into a multitude of careers. Next Generation PhD Implementation Grants are designed to produce plans that will transform scholarly preparation in the humanities at the doctoral level. Students will be prepared to undertake various kinds of careers, and humanities PhD programs will increase their relevance for the twenty-first century. NEH will support activities specific to each institution&amp;#8217;s needs: these may include (but are not limited to) multi-departmental collaboration, transformations in curricula, modifications in stipend structures, altered formats for dissertations, commitment to collection of alumni career information and outcomes, partnerships with non-university entities, as well as a pledge to encourage doctoral students to explore and prepare for multiple career trajectories. NEH intends the Implementation Grants program to promote best practices on the part of its awardee institutions, and thereby to establish a new model for graduate education in the humanities. Grantee institutions must provide funds (either their own funds or funds raised from nonfederal third parties) equal to the grant funds released by NEH. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide support for research Centers that (1) conduct drug abuse and addiction research in any area of NIDAs mission, (2) have outstanding innovative science, (3) are multidisciplinary, thematically integrated, synergistic, and (4) serve as national resource(s) to provide educational and outreach activities to drug abuse research communities, educational organizations, the general public, and policy makers in the NIDA research fields. It is expected that a Center will transform knowledge in the sciences it is studying. Incremental work should not be the focus of Center activities; rather, new and creative directions are required. The P50 Center of Excellence is expected to foster the career development and mentoring of new investigators who would be given meaningful roles to play in the Center projects. A goal of this program is to create NIDA Centers that are national community resources for furthering drug abuse research by sharing their findings, their data, and their resources as appropriate for researchers to use and build upon and to advance research in this field. </Description>

        <Description>The Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (&amp;#8220;Brownfields Law&amp;#8221;, P.L. 107-118) requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish guidance to assist applicants in preparing proposals for grants to assess and clean up brownfield sites. EPA&amp;#8217;s Brownfields Program provides funds to empower states, communities, tribes, and nonprofits to prevent, inventory, assess, clean up, and reuse brownfield sites. EPA provides brownfields funding for three types of grants: 1. Brownfields Assessment Grants &amp;#8211; provides funds to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning (including cleanup planning) and community involvement related to brownfield sites. 2. Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grants &amp;#8211; provides funding for a grant recipient to capitalize a revolving fund and to make loans and provide subgrants to conduct cleanup activities at brownfield sites. 3. Brownfields Cleanup Grants &amp;#8211; provides funds to conduct cleanup activities at a specific brownfield site owned by the applicant. Under these guidelines, EPA is seeking proposals for Cleanup Grants only. If you are interested in requesting funding for Assessment and/or Revolving Loan Fund Grants, please refer to announcement EPA-OSWER-OBLR-15-04 (Assessment Grant guidelines) or EPA-OSWER-OBLR-15-05 (Revolving Loan Fund Grant guidelines) posted separately on www.grants.gov and www2.epa.gov/brownfields/apply-brownfields-grant-funding.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this initiative is to stimulate research in promoting caregiver health using self-management. Caregiving is an important science area since the number of people living longer with chronic conditions is growing. Informal caregivers (lay caregivers) are defined as unpaid individuals (spouses, partners, family members, friends, or neighbors) involved in assisting others with activities of daily living and/or medical tasks. Formal caregivers are paid, delivering care in ones home or care settings (daycare, residential care facility) (Family Caregiver Alliance, 2012). This concept focuses on informal caregivers. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Innovation and Improvement Center (EIIC). The purpose of the EMSC program is to support the expansion and improvement of emergency medical services for children who need treatment for trauma or critical care. The goal of the EMSC Program is to reduce child and youth mortality and morbidity sustained as a result of severe illness or injury. The cooperative agreement will fund an EIIC to provide consultative and technical support to EMSC State Partnership, State Partnership Regionalization of Care, Targeted Issues, and Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network Program grant recipients, in order to help them to develop and implement Quality Improvement (QI) strategies to improve pediatric emergency medical services in both prehospital and hospital care settings. The EMSC Program does not intend to promote the development of a separate EMS system for children, but rather to enhance the pediatric capabilities of EMS systems, which were originally designed primarily for adults. &amp;#8220;EMS for Children&amp;#8221; is understood broadly as a continuum of care relative to emergency medical services that includes the following components: prevention, prehospital care, hospital-based emergency care, and rehabilitation and reentry of the child from the emergency care environment into the community. The EIIC will support the work of EMSC grant recipients to achieve this goal of optimal pediatric emergency care by: &amp;#183; Identifying evidence-based, evidence-informed, and innovative strategies and tools to improve pediatric emergency medical services; &amp;#183; Educating the EMSC community regarding evidence-based, evidence-informed, and innovative strategies and tools; and &amp;#183; Advancing the National EMSC Performance Measures through the development and implementation of QI collaboratives. SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time measurable) objectives for the EMSC program for the next four years are as follows: &amp;#183; By 2017, at least 90% of the EMSC State Partnership recipients will be prepared for the prehospital baseline assessment of the new EMSC performance measures. &amp;#183; By 2019, 20 states will have adopted and or engaged in at least one QI strategy/ process. &amp;#183; By 2019, at least 30% of hospitals will show an increase in their Pediatric Readiness score by 10%. The overarching activities listed below are required as part of this funding opportunity and additional details are included in Section IV of this FOA. 1) Provide education, training and consultation on prehospital and hospital pediatric emergency care through subject matter experts; 2) Establish and implement QI collaboratives; 3) Develop QI tools and products needed by EMSC grant recipients; 4) Disseminate QI tools and products; 5) Facilitate communication within the EMS community and recipients; and 6) Collaborate and communicate with the EMSC Program and key stakeholders. Through the work of the EIIC, the EMSC program seeks measurable system and EMSC performance measures improvements. The EIIC applicant should identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time measurable (SMART) objectives that are consistent with the abovementioned Program SMART objectives and must include objectives that will result in the activities, products and outcomes specified in the EMSC Innovation and Improvement Cooperative Agreement Program Logic Model (see Appendix). This FOA includes the expected activities, products, and outcomes to achieve these objectives. Additional SMART objectives that align with the expected activities, products, outcomes should be consistent with detailed action steps describing how objectives will be attained.</Description>

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE AND EARTH SCIENCES (ROSES) 2011 NNH11ZDA001N, entitled &amp;quot;Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences - 2011 (ROSES-2011),&amp;quot; will be available on or about February 18, 2011, by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings &amp;quot;Solicitations&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Open Solicitations.&amp;quot; This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals for supporting basic and applied research and technology across a broad range of Earth and space science program elements relevant to one or more of the following NASA Research Programs: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on April 29, 2011, and continue through April 30, 2012. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the first such due date being March 18, 2011. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2012, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA can be found at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2011/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA, while questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: sara@nasa.gov; Telephone: 202-358-0879. </Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is a part of cancer genomics programs supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and managed by its Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG). The overall goal of all CCG programs is to help elucidate the mechanisms of cancer initiation and evolution, as well as resistance to therapy by means of genomic characterization of well-annotated, high quality tumor samples. The acquired knowledge could facilitate and accelerate the development of new diagnostic and prognostic markers, new targets for pharmaceutical interventions, and new cancer prevention and treatment strategies. </Description>

        <Description>Applications to the Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) Neurotoxin Exposure Treatment Parkinson&amp;#8217;s Research (NETPR) program are being solicited by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). The executing agent for this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity is the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). The NETPR was initiated in FY97 to provide support for research of exceptional scientific merit leading to an understanding of the cause, prevention, and treatment of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia nigra that result in Parkinson&amp;#8217;s disease (PD). The mission of the NETPR Program is to: &amp;#183; Identify surrogate markers of PD, &amp;#183; Correlate distinctive clinical features with specific clusters of these markers, and &amp;#183; Develop interventions in bio-molecular pathways that link markers and expressed clinical features in order to prevent or halt progression of the disease or improve the quality of life for PD patients. Depression is both an epidemiological identified risk factor for development of PD and a co-morbid condition that affects an increasing proportion of individuals as PD progresses. This funding opportunity is specifically focused on the following Areas of Emphasis on depression as a risk factor and/or co-morbidity in PD: &amp;#183; Delineation of metabolic pathways that may lead to identification of molecular markers and/or therapeutic targets associated with modulation or control of serotonergic or non&amp;#172;serotonergic activity. &amp;#183; Characterization of underlying genetic mechanisms associated with development of depression, or characterization of intersects between genetic mechanisms associated with depression and other known risk factors (as identified in published literature) for development of PD. &amp;#183; Identification of surrogate markers in the blood for identification, diagnosis, susceptibility, maintenance, or progression of depression associated with neurodegeneration. Innovative applications not focused on the Areas of Emphasis noted above are acceptable, provided the application: &amp;#183; Is specifically related to development or progression of depression as a non-motor manifestation of PD and/or is clearly linked to depression as a risk factor for initiation or progression of PD; and &amp;#183; Provides a strong rationale for relevance to the mission of the NETPR Program. The Depression Research Award mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15. The intent of the NETPR Depression Research Award is to support research efforts that will make significant advancements in the understanding of serotonergic and non-serotonergic molecular pathways identified with depression and associated biologic phenomena that link the pathways to other risk factors (e.g., disruption of sleep architecture, exposure to long-term psychological and physiological stress, dysautonomia, and traumatic brain injury) for development and progression of PD. It is expected that research supported by this award will lead to the development of new treatments or the improvement of current treatments for depression, specifically in individuals with, or at risk for, PD. It is anticipated that projects will emphasize preclinical research in human populations, animal studies, or in silico retrospective studies. Preliminary data are required. </Description>

        <Description>Applications to the Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) Neurotoxin Exposure Treatment Parkinson&amp;#8217;s Research (NETPR) Program are being solicited by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). The executing agent for this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity is the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP).The NETPR Program was initiated in FY97 to provide support for research of exceptional scientific merit leading to an understanding of the cause, prevention, and treatment of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia nigra that result in Parkinson&amp;#8217;s disease (PD).The mission of the NETPR Program is to:&amp;#183; Identify surrogate markers of PD,&amp;#183; Correlate distinctive clinical features with specific clusters of these markers, and&amp;#183; Develop interventions in bio-molecular pathways that link markers and expressed clinical features in order to prevent or halt progression of the disease or improve the quality of life for PD patients.This funding opportunity is specifically focused on the following Areas of Emphasis for non-motor manifestations in PD (e.g., cognitive impairment, depression, autonomic dysfunction, and sleep disturbance):&amp;#183; Identification of metabolic pathway alterations and/or therapeutic intervention points.&amp;#183; Identification of molecular markers.&amp;#183; Exploration of genetic alterations associated with functional expressions of non-motor manifestations of the sporadic (non-familial) form of PD.Innovative applications not focused on the Areas of Emphasis noted above are acceptable, provided the application:&amp;#183; Addresses the development or progression of one or more non-motor manifestations of PD; and&amp;#183; Provides a strong rationale for relevance to the mission of the NETPR Program. The Depression Research Award mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY15.The intent of the NETPR Program Career Progression Award is to support independent, early-career investigators who have innovative, high-impact ideas or new technologies applicable to PD research and/or patient care. This award provides an opportunity to obtain the funding and experience necessary for productive career progression at the forefront of research specifically on non-motor aspects of PD. Preliminary data to support the feasibility and rationale of the proposed work are required. Any preliminary data provided should be from the laboratory of the PI or collaborators.Key elements of the award mechanism are as follows:&amp;#183; Principal Investigator (PI): The PI&amp;#8217;s record of achievements and the proposed research will be evaluated regarding his/her potential for contributing to the mission of the NETPR Program.&amp;#183; Areas of Emphasis: The proposed research must address at least one of the Areas of Emphasis.&amp;#183; Impact: The application must articulate how the proposed research will lead to the discovery and development of therapeutic interventions and/or lead to an improved quality of life for individuals with non-motor manifestations associated with PD. The research impact is intended to specifically benefit the PD population as well as Service Members and Veterans susceptible to, or living with, PD.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support rigorous, pre-clinical studies that establish the rationale for a clinical trial, where the hypothesis originates from use of a published or publicly available method for identifying new indications for existing drugs or biologics (therapeutics). The goal of an individual project will be to explore the potential new use of an existing investigational, phase 2a-ready, or FDA-approved drug or licensed biologic; a pre-clinical study funded through this initiative will serve as a use case to demonstrate the utility of an independent crowdsourcing effort or of a computational algorithm to predict new uses of a drug or biologic. Applicants must clearly identify the published or publicly available method used to identify a novel therapeutic/indication pair or combination therapy, in addition to describing the pre-clinical studies that will serve as the use case. This use cases must have a scientifically supported rationale where objective, quantifiable effects of the therapy can be measured.</Description>

        <Description>As part of our mission supporting farmers and ranchers, the Farm Service Agency (FSA) provides extensive education and outreach for producers. This typically involves public meetings, mailings, news releases, and interactions with individual producers seeking additional information or to enroll in a program. However, there remains a need for additional outreach and education that could benefit potential participants in FSA&amp;#8217;s portfolio of programs. This RFA seeks proposals to further support and expand FSA&amp;#8217;s existing outreach and education efforts. The additional outreach and education could, for example, be public meetings, training sessions, and/or workshops for producers including new and beginning farmers, veterans, underserved communities, and/or established producers. Emphasis will be afforded to proposals that propose to address producers who are ethnic minorities, women, new and beginning, veterans, urban, or who grow non-commodity crops (e.g., fruits and vegetables or specialty crops). Proposals may include innovative outreach approaches that ease the learning curve for farmers and ranchers through training on best practices, common challenges and solutions, and local networking opportunities. The subject matter should include an introduction to FSA, its programs, and common provisions that generally apply. FSA&amp;#8217;s common provisions include maintenance of producer-level records regarding payment eligibility and limitations, conservation compliance, and name and address, payments, and farm and tract information. Additional information regarding FSA is available at www.fsa.usda.gov. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement seeks applications from public and private nonprofit entities to establish and operate voluntary family planning services projects, which shall provide family planning services to all persons desiring such services, with priority for services to persons from low-income families. The Title X statute specifies that local and regional public or private nonprofit entities may apply directly to the Secretary for a Title X family planning services grant under this announcement. Funding of applications that propose to rely on other entities to provide services will take into consideration the extent to which the applicant indicates it can provide the required services and best serve individuals in need throughout the anticipated service area. For applicants that will not provide all services directly, the applicant must document the process it will use for providing an opportunity to receive subawards to qualified entities eligible to receive federal funds in providing services throughout the service area to meet the needs of project beneficiaries. Family planning services include clinical family planning and related preventive health services; information, education, and counseling related to family planning; and, referral services as indicated. Applicants should use the Title X legislation, applicable regulations, legislative mandates, current Program Guidelines (issued in 2014), OPA Program Policy Notices, program priorities, and other key issues included in this announcement and in the application package to guide them in developing their applications.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation&amp;#146;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. It is Reclamation&amp;apos;s intent to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with Trout Unlimited &amp;#150; Washington Water Project (TU-WWP), whereby TU-WWP will be the project sponsor on four projects which will lead to stream habitat improvements and benefit anadromous fisheries in the Upper Columbia Region, Methow Subbasin(Subbasin), located in the state of Washington. TU-WWP has been Reclamation&amp;#146;s Project Sponsor in the Subbasin for the past year on projects related to fish habitat protection and passage activities, and has been working to secure cost-sharing from Federal and non-Federal sources for project construction in this area. Therefore, Reclamation does not plan on making these funds available for competition because TU-WWP is the only Project Sponsor currently working with Reclamation on Federally-funded fish habitat projects that improve instream flow within the Upper Columbia Region, Methow Subbasin. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate research evaluating the effect of care planning on self-management of late effects of cancer therapy; adherence to medications, cancer screening, and health behavior guidelines; utilization of follow-up care; survivors&amp;apos; health and psychosocial outcomes. How organizational-level factors influence the implementation of care planning and its associated costs is also of interest. Specifically, the FOA aims to stimulate research that will: 1) develop and test metrics for evaluating the impact of survivorship care planning; 2) evaluate the impact of survivorship care planning on cancer survivors&amp;apos; morbidity, self-management and adherence to care recommendations, utilization of follow-up care; 3) evaluate effects of planning on systems outcomes, such as associated costs and impact on providers and organizations implementing the care planning; and 4) identify models and processes of care that promote effective survivorship care planning. The ultimate goal of this FOA is to generate a body of science that will inform the development and delivery of interventions that improve follow-up care for cancer survivors.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate developmental research evaluating the effect of care planning on self-management of late effects of cancer therapy; adherence to medications, cancer screening, and health behavior guidelines; utilization of follow-up care; survivors&amp;apos; health and psychosocial outcomes. How organizational-level factors influence the implementation of care planning and its associated costs is also of interest. Specifically, the FOA aims to stimulate research that will: 1) develop and test metrics for evaluating the impact of survivorship care planning; 2) evaluate the impact of survivorship care planning on cancer survivors&amp;apos; morbidity, self-management and adherence to care recommendations, utilization of follow-up care; 3) evaluate effects of planning on systems outcomes, such as associated costs and impact on providers and organizations implementing the care planning; and 4) identify models and processes of care that promote effective survivorship care planning. The ultimate goal of this FOA is to generate a body of science that will inform the development and delivery of interventions that improve follow-up care for cancer survivors.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement seeks applications from public and private nonprofit entities to establish and operate voluntary family planning services projects, which shall provide family planning services to all persons desiring such services, with priority for services to persons from low-income families. The Title X statute specifies that local and regional public or private nonprofit entities may apply directly to the Secretary for a Title X family planning services grant under this announcement. Funding of applications that propose to rely on other entities to provide services will take into consideration the extent to which the applicant indicates it can provide the required services and best serve individuals in need throughout the anticipated service area. For applicants that will not provide all services directly, the applicant must document the process it will use for providing an opportunity to receive subawards to qualified entities eligible to receive federal funds in providing services throughout the service area to meet the needs of project beneficiaries. Family planning services include clinical family planning and related preventive health services; information, education, and counseling related to family planning; and, referral services as indicated. Applicants should use the Title X legislation, applicable regulations, legislative mandates, current Program Guidelines (issued in 2014), OPA Program Policy Notices, program priorities, and other key issues included in this announcement and in the application package to guide them in developing their applications.</Description>

Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to nonprofit organizations, including national intermediaries; state commissions on service; volunteer centers; institutions of higher education; national or regional education agencies; educational institutions; faith-based and other community organizations; and private foundations.  We encourage applications from organizations not currently receiving Corporation funding as well as from organizations that are now receiving funds under the programs of the Corporation, including AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and Senior Corps.     We expect the successful applicants will demonstrate how these grants and the proposed project will have a large-scale scope and leverage significant impact within their organization&amp;#146;s network or amongst a group of collaborating organizations.  Organizations are encouraged to collaborate with existing volunteer connector organizations in planning and implementing their proposed activities.  Volunteer connectors are organizations that specialize in assisting individuals or groups with finding appropriate volunteer opportunities while also providing organizations that use volunteers with services such as recruitment support and training and technical assistance related to volunteer management.    We encourage submissions from organizations with little or no experience with federal grants, where our investment could dramatically improve volunteer management capacity and infrastructure.  We encourage applicants to apply that have not received Corporation funding in the past. Eligible faith-based and other community-based organizations are encouraged to apply.      Organizations that currently operate a Corporation-funded program or are applying for other Corporation funding are eligible applicants.  However, applicants must differentiate between this grant&amp;#146;s proposed activities and those of the currently-funded program or pending application.      </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation) announces the availability of up to $800,000 for grants to support the efforts of national and statewide nonprofit organizations to increase volunteer retention and expand the use volunteers to address societal challenges.

The purpose of this grant competition is to assist national, regional, and statewide nonprofit organizations in planning for and implementing activities within their networks and communities to:&amp;#149; increase volunteer retention;&amp;#149; expand current use of volunteers by creating new volunteer roles and recruiting the appropriate volunteers to fill them; &amp;#149; improve both the impact of volunteers&amp;#146; activities and how that impact is measured; and&amp;#149; develop strategies that sustain the impact and results associated with the project after the conclusion of Corporation funding.Examples of the types of activities this grant may support include:&amp;#149; assessing current volunteer use and management practices; &amp;#149; designing competency-based volunteer roles and descriptions;&amp;#149; engaging stakeholders in collaborative planning and implementation processes; &amp;#149; developing new or improved measurement systems to track the impact of volunteers; &amp;#149; conducting recruitment activities or developing strategic partnerships to attract the appropriate volunteers to fill newly created volunteer roles; and&amp;#149; implementing volunteer management practices -- such as screening, orientation, training, and recognition -- to increase retention. Applicants should demonstrate how their proposed project would, over a two-year period, significantly improve retention, expand their current use of volunteers, and help them improve and better measure the impact of their volunteers.

        <Description>The U.S. Embassy Antananarivo Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce that funding is available through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program. PAS awards a limited number of grants to individuals, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and academic institutions to support exchange between the U.S. and Madagascar or the Comoros with the aim of improving mutual respect and understanding. PAS will only consider grants that have an American component or aspect in their proposal. This could include, but is not limited to, having an American expert as a speaker, using curriculum developed by a U.S. institution, projecting an American film. Requests to sponsor events should ensure the event has a connection to one of the above five elements and that the grant proposal be linked to a specific line item or line items, and not be a request for a flat amount to be pooled with other sources. (For example, a request to sponsor a conference should mention specific items, such as flights for certain U.S. academics, publication of a post-conference booklet, or sponsorship of the travel and accommodation of a U.S. speaker to the conference, rather than just a flat amount.) Grant projects generally must be completed in one year or less. PAS will entertain applications for continuation grants funded under these awards beyond the initial budget period on a non-competitive basis subject to availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the program, and a determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the U.S. Department of State. Proposals should be submitted online to the U.S. Embassy in Antananarivo at the following email address: PASAntanGrants@state.gov. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/. Questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at sara@nasa.gov.</Description>

        <Description>NEH is soliciting proposals from institutions to participate in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). NDNP is creating a national digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1836 and 1922, from all the states and U.S. territories. This searchable database will be permanently maintained at the Library of Congress (LC) and will be freely accessible via the Internet. (See the website, Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers.) An accompanying national newspaper directory of bibliographic and holdings information on the website directs users to newspaper titles available in all types of formats. During the course of its partnership with NEH, LC will also digitize and contribute to the NDNP database a significant number of newspaper pages drawn from its own collections. NEH intends to support projects in all states and U.S. territories, provided that sufficient funds allocated for this purpose are available. One organization within each U.S. state or territory will receive an award to collaborate with relevant state partners in this effort. Previously funded projects will be eligible to receive supplements for continued work, but the program will give priority to new projects. In particular, the program will give priority to projects from states and territories that have not received NDNP funding. Applications that involve collaboration between previously funded and new projects are welcome. Such collaborations might involve, for example, arranging with current awardees to manage the creation and delivery of digital files; offering regular and ongoing consultation on managing aspects of the project; or providing formal training for project staff at an onsite institute or workshop. Over a period of two years, successful applicants will select newspapers&amp;#8212;published in their state or territory between 1836 and 1922&amp;#8212;and convert approximately 100,000 pages into digital files (primarily from microfilm), according to the technical guidelines (PDF) outlined by the Library of Congress. Applicants may select titles published in any language with a valid ISO 639-2 language code. Newspapers with valid language codes will be included in the searchable database maintained at the Library of Congress. Search engine support may vary by language, as detailed in the Library of Congress technical guidelines. </Description>

        <Description>The NCIRD Influenza Division (ID) is seeking to initiate a cooperative agreement with the School of Public Health, University of Hong Kong, (UHK), the Peoples&amp;#8217; Republic of China, to conduct research studies among older adults on the epidemiology, disease burden, and effectiveness of annual or twice a year vaccination for influenza. The University of Hong Kong has an established respiratory virus active surveillance system among older adults in a region of China with twice-yearly periods of influenza circulation, which can be utilized to expand and conduct additional research on disease burden and vaccine efficacy in this population. This surveillance platform has allowed the research team at UHK to better understand risk factors for mild to severe influenza disease; however, it has not generated significant data on the burden of influenza or influenza vaccine effectiveness in the older adult population. This new cooperative agreement will allow NCIRD ID to expand collaborations with UHK to examine this population in more depth as well as to better understand best vaccine practices in this age group. This cooperative agreement could build upon the existing surveillance system in China or lessons learned from that system could be used in teh future to establish this project in another country in the Asia-Pacific region. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on what is being called the PV Lifetime Project. EERE seeks to expand the data set available to the public, with measurements taken over shorter intervals and using repeatable test methods. The data is expected to enable an increase in the accuracy and precision of degradation profiles calculated for representative PV modules and systems. The objectives of the PV Lifetime Project are: 1. Determine and communicate module differentiation with respect to service lifetime. 2. Determine and communicate degradation profiles; and their uncertainty. EERE is specifically interested in information on results that better inform calculations of the return on investment of existing and future PV installations. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to PVReliability@EE.Doe.Gov no later than 5:00pm (ET) on November 19, 2015. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email.</Description>

This Training to Work 3 &amp;#8211; Adult Reentry (T2W3) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) provides the opportunity for organizations to develop and implement career pathways programs in demand sectors and occupations for men and women, including veterans, and people with disabilities, who are at least 18 years old and who are enrolled in work release programs (WRP). Additionally, grantees must provide a strategy to prioritize services to veterans that are in these WRPs. Career pathways are frameworks that help to define and map out a sequence of education, training and workforce skills training resulting in skilled workers that meet employers&amp;#8217; needs. Career pathways link and coordinate education and training services in ways that enable workers to attain necessary credentials and, ultimately, employment. T2W3 is aligned with the Department&amp;#8217;s goal to make our Federal employment and training programs more job-driven. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement applications to develop and operate a Human Pancreas Procurement and Analysis Program (HPPAP). This FOA will support the assembly of a team of investigators with combined expertise in human pancreas physiology and pathophysiology; collection, analysis and distribution of human pancreatic tissues; and analysis and integration of complex biological datasets, that will be tasked to: 1) collect and intensively characterize primary pancreatic tissues from patients with T1D, pre-T1D (i.e. positive for multiple islet autoantibodies) or rare forms of islet dysfunction, 2) distribute these specimens and their extensive linked data to the larger research community for expanded analysis, and 3) organize the data collected from the study of these tissues into an open-access resource database (PANC DB). HPPAP will become a component of the Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) created in 2014 to support innovative and collaborative translational research to understand how human beta cells are lost in T1D, and to find innovative strategies to protect and replace functional human beta cell mass. </Description>

        <Description>Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), Department of Energy (DOE) seeks to fund the scale-up of promising solutions to the market barriers that hinder the growth of energy efficiency in the small and medium commercial buildings and tenant spaces. The objective of this funding is to build a path for market-ready solutions to be used at scale across the United States (US) to improve commercial building energy efficiency. According to the US Energy Information Agency, in 2014, 18 Quadrillion Btu was used in commercial buildings, about 19% of total national energy use. Small commercial buildings (under 50,000 square feet in gross floor area) account for more than 40% of the energy used in the commercial sector. Commercial buildings can be made much more efficient using a variety of cost effective efficiency improvements while creating jobs and building a stronger economy. However, well-documented informational, structural, and market barriers, such as split incentives, asymmetrical or inadequate information, higher first costs and high investment hurdle rates, impede the adoption of more energy efficient technologies and practices. These barriers are particularly pernicious in the small and medium size commercial buildings (between 50,000 and 100,000 square feet in gross floor area) that this FOA addresses. The mission of the US Department of Energy&amp;#8217;s Building Technologies Office (BTO) is to help meet DOE Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and Administration targets to improve energy efficiency in commercial and residential buildings, with a near-term goal of 20% savings by 2020 and 50% by 2030. The Commercial Building Integration (CBI) program plays an important role in meeting the Building Technologies Office goals; it is charged with increasing voluntary adoption of energy efficient technologies and practices in commercial buildings, serving as a critical &amp;#8220;market stimulation&amp;#8221; link between BTO&amp;#8217;s Emerging Technologies and Codes and Standards programs. In order for CBI to help meet BTO, EERE and DOE energy efficiency goals for commercial buildings, the program continues to invest in the development of new resources, tools, and solutions designed to help overcome the aforementioned barriers to energy efficiency. These resources are available on the CBI program website at http://energy.gov/eere/buildings/commercial-buildings-integration. The full FOA is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for the EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website https://eere- exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website.</Description>

        <Description>Beginning farmer education for adult and young audiences in the United States can be generally traced back to the advent of the 1862 and the 1890 Morrill Land Grant Acts. But for the first time, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub .L. No. 110-234, Section 7410), appropriated $75 million for FY 2009 to FY 2012 to develop and offer education, training, outreach and mentoring programs to enhance the sustainability of the next generation of farmers. The Agriculture Act of 2014 provided an additional $20 million per year for 2014 through 2018. The reasons for the renewed interest in beginning farmer and rancher programs are: the rising average age of U.S. farmers, the 8% projected decrease in the number of farmers and ranchers between 2008 and 2018, and the growing recognition that new programs are needed to address the needs of the next generation of beginning farmers and ranchers. </Description>

        <Description>The National Marine Fisheries Service (hereinafter, &amp;quot;NMFS&amp;quot;) is responsible for the stewardship, conservation, and management of pinniped species in Alaska, including the Steller sea lion, Northern fur seal, ringed seal, bearded seal, spotted seal, ribbon seal, and harbor seal. Two of these pinnipeds are currently listed under the Endangered Species Act: the endangered western Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Steller sea lions and the threatened Arctic subspecies of ringed seals (a third species, the Beringia DPS of bearded seals, was also listed as threatened but the listing was vacated by the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska). NMFS has the responsibility to foster the recovery of these ESA-listed species and research is necessary to support our recovery programs for these species. Non-ESA-listed pinniped species or populations in Alaska are listed as strategic stocks under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and/or are important as a subsistence resource to Alaska Natives and co-managed by NMFS and Alaska Native co-management partners. Research is also an important component to co-management of these animals. Beginning in fiscal year (hereinafter, &amp;#8220;FY&amp;#8221;) 2015, certain priority pinniped research in Alaska has been administered through a competitively-funded, merit-based grants program. This program concerns only Alaskan pinnipeds for which NMFS bears responsibility; proposals focusing on marine mammals under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will not be considered for funding under this grant program. This document describes how to prepare and submit proposals for funding in FY 2016 and how NMFS will determine which proposals will be funded. </Description>

        <Description>This FOA seeks to develop and nurture a national innovation ecosystem that builds upon biomedical research to develop technologies, products and services that benefit society. Toward meeting this objective, the NIH is now expanding the program to include additional participating NIH and CDC Institutes and Centers. The expanded I-Corps at NIH program is focused on educating researchers and technologists on how to translate technologies from the lab into the marketplace. Under this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), participating NIH and CDC Institutes and Centers will provide administrative supplement awards to a cohort of currently-funded SBIR and STTR Phase I grantees to support entrepreneurial training under the I-Corps at NIH Program. The program is designed to provide three-member project teams with access to instruction and mentoring in order to accelerate the translation of technologies currently being developed with NIH and CDC SBIR and STTR funding. It is anticipated that outcomes for the I-Corps teams participating in this program will include significantly refined commercialization plans and well-informed pivots in their overall commercialization strategies. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NIH or CDC Scientific/Research staff for more information about the program before applying.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites grant applications for the Research Specialist Award (R50) in any area of cancer research. The Research Specialist Award is designed to encourage the development of stable research career opportunities for exceptional scientists who want to pursue research within the context of an existing cancer research program, but not serve as independent investigators. These scientists, such as researchers within a research program, core facility managers, and data scientists, are vital to sustaining the biomedical research enterprise. The Research Specialist Award is intended to provide desirable salaries and sufficient autonomy so that individuals are not solely dependent on grants held by Principal Investigators for career continuity.</Description>

        <Description>Reducing maternal, infant and child mortality in Madagascar is a critical priority for the international community and the Government of Madagascar (GOM). Although the country has made significant progress to reduce child deaths, maternal mortality has stagnated over the past twenty plus years; today 10 women die each day as a result of birth-related complications. In addition, each day, 100 children die from preventable causes, including malaria, which is the third leading cause of death of children. The 2009 coup d&amp;apos;&amp;#233;tat plunged the country into crisis, stalling development and further deteriorating the health system. With financial and political restrictions placed on the GOM during this period, USAID/ Madagascar shifted to a humanitarian support strategy and invested nearly $250 million in innovative community health services and systems: scaling-up access to diagnosis and treatment for simple pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria as well as providing family planning services and commodities such as condoms, and oral and injectable contraceptives. USAID/Madagascar equipped and trained an extended cadre of more than 17,000 community health volunteers (CHV) in 20 of 22 regions covering about 1,200 mostly rural communes to expand basic, life-saving services. Today, this system, which USAID now directly supports in 15 regions, provides health services to 9.5 million people or about 64 percent of Madagascar&amp;#8217;s rural population. Following successful elections in December 2013, multi and bi-lateral organizations normalized relations and the USG lifted restrictions in May 2014. Since then, the GoM has committed to strengthening its health sector. The GOM recently launched its health sector development strategy, the Plan de D&amp;#233;veloppement du Secteur Sante (PDSS) in September, 2015, which outlines its five-year strategy to improve health services and outcomes. Madagascar also launched an action plan in response to the African Union&amp;#8217;s Campaign for the Accelerated Reduction of Maternal, Newborn and Child Mortality in Africa (CARMMA). The ambitious plan aims to reduce, by 2019, the maternal mortality ratio from 478 to 300 deaths per 100,000 live births and the neonatal mortality rate from 26 to 17 deaths per 1,000 live births. And in September 2015, the Government signed and announced its commitments to the global Family Planning 2020 partnership, with an ambitious goal to increase the prevalence of modern contraceptive use from 33% to 50% by the year 2020.One of USAID/Madagascar&amp;#8217;s key areas of intervention is community health, which is implemented primarily through two flagship projects: the Community-based Integrated Health Program (i.e. MAHEFA) that covers six regions in the north and west of the country; and the USAID Mikolo Project that is implemented in nine central, east and southern regions. The Community-based Integrated Health Program ends in May 2016 and has achieved tremendous improvements in health outcomes in its implementation sites. As such, Community Capacity for Health will build on these achievements and at the same time, improve the sustainability of the existing community health system and increase quality of its services. </Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages the development and validation of: 1) animal models and human tissue ex vivo systems that recapitulate the phenotypic and physiologic characteristics of a defined neurological disorder and/or 2) clinically feasible pharmacodynamic markers for therapeutics designed to treat neurological disease.The goal of this FOA is to promote a significant improvement in the translational relevance of animal models, ex vivo systems, testing paradigms, and endpoints that will be utilized to facilitate the development of neurotherapeutics. Ideally, endpoints proposed in applications for this FOA would have the potential to provide feasible and meaningful assessments of efficacy following therapeutic intervention that would be applicable in both preclinical and clinical settings.This FOA is not intended to support the development of animal and ex vivo model systems for the interrogation of disease etiology or for the identification of new drug targets. It is also not intended to support human clinical validation of model systems or pharmacodynamic markers. This FOA is part of a suite of Innovation Grants to Nurture Initial Translational Efforts(IGNITE) focused on enabling the exploratory and early stages of drug discovery.</Description>

        <Description>FY 2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity for Projects Benefiting Senegalese Youth Funding Opportunity Announcement U.S. Embassy Dakar. November 4, 2015 Announcement issuance date: November 4, 2015 Proposal submission deadline: Tuesday, December 15, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. Funding Opportunity Statement of Purpose and Objectives The Public Affairs Section of the United States Embassy to Senegal funds and conducts activities that create greater mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and Senegal and that promote understanding of U.S. society and values. We believe that one of the best ways to reach these objectives is to help Senegalese youth to achieve their own vision of a Senegal that is open, prosperous and stable. As the generation that will lead Senegal&amp;#8217;s civic and academic institutions into the future, they need the knowledge to be able to actively participate in the civic life of their communities. We aim to foster programs which help youth acquire the skills for both their own personal growth as leaders, and for contributing to the social and economic improvement of their country. While Senegalese themselves will make the decisions on how best to do this, we support U.S.-Senegalese cooperation through our activities and funding. For these reasons, the Public Affairs Section announces a small grants competition, open to local Senegalese organizations and associations, to fund projects that build practical skills among Senegalese youth. Current Funding Priorities: The Public Affairs Section is accepting proposals for cultural, educational, athletic, and environmental projects focused on developing skills among Senegalese youth ages 15-35 in the areas of: - Leadership - Civic engagement and volunteerism - Entrepreneurship - Science and Technology Proposed activities should primarily support the following audiences: - Young women and girls - Youth from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds - Youth living in under-served regions outside Dakar - Disabled youth Proposed program start dates: January 15 &amp;#8211; May 31, 2016 Duration of Activity: Project plans should not exceed 12 months. Funding Limits: Requests for funding may range between $500- $10,000. Cost-sharing is encouraged. Eligibility Information: Eligible applicants must be local associations or NGOs with a bank account, a physical address, and an accounting system. All selected applicants will be required to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier. 3. Other: (a) Proposals must have a concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable. (b) To be considered for funding, organizations must submit a complete application package including: (i) Program Title and Description - Clear and concise proposal narrative reflecting project objectives (ii) Itemized budget and budget narrative - allowable costs include honoraria, financial report preparation, and staff costs (iii) Proof of Management Capacity - Describe organization&amp;#8217;s management structure including key project and accounting personnel, as well as relevant grant and project management experience. (iv) Timeline - Chronological list of major dates and activities in the project (v) Project monitoring and evaluation plan E. Application Review Information Criteria: Eligible submissions will be those that comply with the criteria and requirements included in this announcement. The Public Affairs Section will conduct a formal competitive review of all proposals submitted in response to this funding announcement. A review panel of at least three people will evaluate submissions based on the above-referenced five application elements and Public Affairs section priorities in the context of available funding. Preference will be given to proposals that contribute to a geographic balance across Senegal and that offer cost-sharing. Successful proposals will also show that they have a lasting and sustainable impact. This may be demonstrated either through the number of participants reached directly or through a multiplier impact. Federal Award Administration Information Federal Award Administration. Applicants will be notified by the Public Affairs Section of the competition results before funds are awarded. Applicants should not begin proposed activities until the notice of award is signed by the Embassy grants officer. Any expenses incurred before this signature are unauthorized and will not be reimbursed. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified after the completion of the selection process.Successful applicants will be required to submit:Program and Financial Reports: Program and financial report requirements differ according to the type of Federal Award granted.

        <Description>The Study of the U.S. Branch, Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, invites proposal submissions for the design and implementation of three Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSIs) for Student Leaders from Europe, pending the availability of FY 2016 funds. The SUSIs for Student Leaders from Europe should consist of three separate Institutes under three themes. Taking place over the course of five weeks at a U.S. academic institution, each Institute should be organized for a group of approximately 22 foreign undergraduate students from underserved communities and focus on one of the following themes: Civic Engagement; Environmental Stewardship; and Social Entrepreneurship. ECA plans to issue one Cooperative Agreement for the administration of the three Study of the U.S. Institutes and welcomes applications from accredited post-secondary education institutions in the United States and public and private non-profit organizations or consortia of organizations. The award recipient will be responsible for planning, overseeing, and implementing the program including the administration of all three Institutes. The Institutes should take place at U.S. academic institutions and should provide participants with in-depth seminars on the topics detailed in the following section. Each Institute should include four weeks of academic residency followed by a one-week integrated study tour that will expose participants to a unique region of the United States. The one-week study tour should conclude with a two or three day session in Washington, D.C. Each Institute will host approximately 22 participants, for a total of approximately 66 students. The expected start date of the Institutes is June 2016.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for one summer Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Institute for youth. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3), including accredited, post-secondary U.S. educational institutions, may submit proposals to provide a three- to four-week U.S.-based institute in the summer of 2016. The Institute will engage 55 teenagers (ages 16-18) from Europe and the United States. U.S. Embassies throughout Europe will select the foreign participants, and the U.S. award recipient will select the American participants. The Institute will focus on transatlantic relations, leadership development, critical thinking, diplomacy, community activism, and the media as ways that young adults can unite around their common goals. Support for individual or small group follow-on projects in the home communities of the exchange alumni will complete the program. It is the Bureau&amp;apos;s intent to award one cooperative agreement for one base year plus two non-competitive continuations for an estimated total of $750,000.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Network Development Planning Grant Program (&amp;#8220;Network Planning&amp;#8221;). The purpose of the Network Planning program is to assist in the development of an integrated healthcare network, if the network participants do not have a history of formal collaborative efforts. Health care networks can be an effective strategy to help smaller rural health care providers and health care service organizations align resources and strategies, achieve economies of scale and efficiency, and address challenges more effectively as a group than as single providers. The Network Planning program promotes the planning and development of healthcare networks in order to: (i) achieve efficiencies; (ii) expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of essential health care services; and (iii) strengthen the rural health care system as a whole. The health care system is undergoing a significant amount of change and this can be particularly challenging for small rural providers. The goals of the Network Planning program are to help rural providers better serve their communities given changes taking place in health care, as providers move from focusing on the volume of services to focusing on the value of services. This program will bring together key parts of a rural health care delivery system, particularly those entities that may not have collaborated in the past under a formal relationship, to establish and improve local capacity and coordination of care. The program will support one year of planning with the primary goal of helping networks create a foundation for their infrastructure and focusing member efforts to address important regional or local community health needs. To appropriately address emerging community health needs and challenges, systemic efforts are key. This program will assist communities in establishing a rural health network of health care providers committed to forming relationships with each other and stakeholders. It is expected that the rural health networks will maintain the highest level of access to care, increase the use of health information technology, explore alternative health care delivery models and continue to achieve a high level of quality health care across the continuum of care from prevention and wellness to acute and long term care. A rural health network is defined as an organizational arrangement among at least three separately owned regional or local health care providers that come together to develop strategies for improving health services delivery systems in a community. For example, a critical access hospital, a community health center, and a public health department may collaborate to form a network around a shared purpose. Networks may include a wide range of community partners providing health care including social service agencies, faith-based organizations, mental health agencies, charitable organizations, educational institutions, employers, local government agencies or other entities with an interest in a community&amp;#8217;s health care system. Strong partnerships at the community level with organizations such as those mentioned above, are essential to the overall success of improving population health through alignment of goals and resources. The passage of the Affordable Care Act has provided opportunities for expanded insurance coverage in rural areas. This law has the potential to positively change the payer mix for rural providers but may also create a surge in demand for the existing providers in rural areas. The Affordable Care Act also focuses heavily on improving quality through new incentives in the Medicare program, ranging from avoidable re-admission and hospital-acquired condition penalties for hospitals to value-based reimbursement systems in acute, ambulatory and post-acute reimbursement. In addition to improving the way providers are paid by promoting value-based payment systems; improving the way care is delivered by encouraging integration and coordination of clinical services, population health and patient engagement is another paradigm shift with the passage of the Affordable Care Act. There are also new delivery models related to Accountable Care Organizations, Patient-Centered Medical Homes and payment. At the same time, there is greater consolidation in the health care market and increasing efforts across payers and employers to focus on health promotion and chronic disease management in order to improve patient outcomes and reduce downstream costs. The increasing focus on showing value in health care delivery creates incentives to develop regional systems of care that preserve local autonomy for rural communities while also ensuring access to the appropriate continuum of care for the local service population. Thus, it is more important now than ever for rural providers to participate in efforts such as implementing population health strategies to demonstrate the quality and value they provide rural residents. Each of the aims listed below offer activities that can help rural providers work together to adapt to the larger changes in the health care delivery system. Applicants must clearly identify one of the following focus areas that their network planning activities will address: i. Population Health 1. Care Coordination 2. Patient Engagement 3.

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications from small business concerns (SBCs) to the newly authorized Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) program. The FOA aims to facilitate the transition of previously funded SBIR and STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage by providing additional support for technical assistance not typically supported through Phase II or Phase IIB grants or contracts. This may include preparation of documents for a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) submission, development of an intellectual property strategy and/or planning for a clinical trial. Although a significant amount of the work in a CRP award may be subcontracted to other institutions, the SBC is expected to maintain oversight and management of the R and D throughout the award. </Description>

        <Description>On any given day, approximately 60,000 youth are confined in juvenile detention and correctional facilities and hundreds of thousands more are on probation. This system contact can have a significant impact on adolescents lives and their prospects for long-term success in adulthood in obtaining academic degrees, finding work, and securing housing. Collateral consequences (including the lack of records expungement) for juveniles who have come into contact with the juvenile justice system can hinder the ability of young people to integrate into their communities and become successful, thriving adults and increase their chances of recidivism. Barriers to housing, education, employment, health care, and insurance as well as serious immigration consequences and financial repercussions are chief among the tangible consequences. Social, emotional and psychological consequences such as trauma, and a sense of shame and humiliation, are also of great concern. Having a juvenile conviction on your record keeps individuals from fully realizing their potential.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications from small business concerns (SBCs) to the newly authorized Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) program. The FOA aims to facilitate the transition of previously funded SBIR and STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage by providing additional support for technical assistance and later stage research and development (R and D) not typically supported through Phase II or Phase IIB grants or contracts. This may include independent replication of key studies, Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies, clinical studies, manufacturing costs, regulatory assistance, or a combination of services. Although a significant amount of the work in a CRP award may be subcontracted to other institutions, the SBC is expected to maintain oversight and management of the R and D throughout the award. </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this FOA is to test whether or not the ages of laboratory animals is an important consideration in experimental outcomes in the study of disease pathology, degenerative condition, response to therapy, intervention or environmental exposure. The majority of studies of human conditions and diseases in laboratory animals are done using young animals. Young animals may be appropriate for study of human diseases that are prevalent in young humans. However, older animals may be more appropriate for study of human diseases that are prevalent in older humans. While this is a testable hypothesis, there have been obstacles to performing such studies: they are more costly and take more time than studies with young animals. Nevertheless, studies in older animals may be critical to advancing basic research and translational studies from animal models to human populations where aging is itself known to impact the condition, disease or response. To test this assumption, this FOA will provide funds for demonstration projects to address two questions: 1. Does the age of the model organism influence experimental outcomes? 2. Are older animals better models of experimental studies for conditions, interventions, diseases or exposures for which aging is a risk factor of the human condition (for which the model was developed)?</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this NIH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) is to provide salary and research support to investigators who are within ten years of completing their degree or residency training. Research and mentorship must be in the field of HIV/AIDS vaccine development, using nonhuman primates (NHPs) as pre-clinical models. These awards will provide 3 years of support for intensive research career development under the guidance of an experienced mentorship team, with expertise in both development of NHP vaccine models and in translation of the results of investigations performed in NHPs to work in humans. The expectation is through this sustained period of research career development and training, awardees will launch independent research careers and become competitive for new research project grant (e.g., R01) funding. This funding initiative addresses two objectives of the FY 2016 National Institutes of Health Trans-NIH Plan for HIV-Related Research: 1) To explore new HIV vaccine approaches, and 2) To develop opportunities for new investigators in the HIV vaccine field, enabling them to translate promising preclinical vaccine studies in NHPs into human clinical trials. </Description>

        <Description>The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite States, Indian tribes, irrigation districts, water districts, and other organizations with water or power delivery authority to leverage their money and resources by cost sharing with the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) on projects that seek to conserve and use water more efficiently, increase the use of renewable energy and improve energy efficiency, benefit endangered and threatened species, facilitate water markets, or carry out other activities to address climate-related impacts on water or prevent any water-related crisis or conflict. Water conservation and efficiency are crucial to most Western States&amp;#8217; plans to ensure that water is available to meet demands into the future. WaterSMART Grants are an important part of the Department&amp;#8217;s implementation of the President&amp;#8217;s June 2013 Climate Action Plan and the November 1, 2013, Executive Order, Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change. Through near-term improvements, projects carried out as WaterSMART Grants can increase water management flexibility, making our water supply more resilient and thereby helping to prepare for the impacts of climate change.</Description>

        <Description>The healthcare response to Ebola has shown that current PPE used for infection control in healthcare settings is not ideal. Design and technical flaws reflect the changing demands on PPE and ongoing evolution of intent for its use. Improvements are needed to make PPE more uniform, with greater assurance of protection and less interference with healthcare delivery, while making errors in use much less probable. Specific elements limiting the effectiveness of currently available designs and technologies include challenges wearer discomfort related to heat and ventilation, fluid penetration through materials, fit and sizing of apparel, and ease of correct donning and doffing. The objective of this research will focus on improving the material and design of gowns and respirators to address those and other issues, and demonstration of scalable production capability within US industry. </Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Grants to Expand Care Coordination Targeted Capacity Expansion (TCE) through the Use of Technology Assisted Care (TAC) in Targeted Areas of Need (Short Title: TCE-TAC). The purpose of the program is to enhance and/or expand the capacity of substance use disorder treatment providers to serve youth and adults with substance use disorders or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders who have been underserved and/or have special needs (e.g., elderly, ethnic and racial minorities, criminal justice involved individuals, etc.). This is referred to as the &amp;#8220;population of focus.&amp;#8221; For the purposes of this FOA, underserved is defined as a individuals that lack access to treatment due to the rural location, transportation challenges in the community, an inadequate number of behavioral health providers including shortages of primary medical care and substance use disorder treatment and mental disorder treatment providers, and/or financial constraints that impact the ability of these clients to access needed behavioral health treatment services. The use of technology, including web-based services, smart phones, and behavioral health electronic applications (e-apps) will expand and/or enhance the ability of providers to effectively communicate with persons in treatment and to track and manage their health to ensure treatment and services are available where and when needed. The technology may also be used by grantees to support recovery and resiliency efforts and promote wellness.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for Guidelines for Women&amp;#8217;s Preventive Services. The purpose of this project is to improve adult women&amp;#8217;s health across the lifespan by engaging a coalition of health professional organizations to recommend updates to the HRSA-supported Women&amp;#8217;s Preventive Services Guidelines. Under Section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act, as added by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,[1] P.L. 111-148 (42 U.S.C. 300gg-13)[2], non-grandfathered group health plans and non-grandfathered group and individual health insurance coverage must include coverage, without cost sharing, for the preventive services identified in that section, including those provided for in the HRSA-supported Women&amp;#8217;s Preventive Services Guidelines. The specific aims of the project are to: 1) Establish a process for developing and regularly recommending updates to the guidelines for women&amp;#8217;s preventive services; 2) Obtain participation by health professional organizations on developing recommended guidelines for women&amp;#8217;s preventive services; 3) Review and synthesize existing guidelines and new scientific evidence for women&amp;#8217;s preventive services; 4) Develop recommended guidelines for women&amp;#8217;s preventive services; 5) Disseminate HRSA-supported comprehensive guidelines for use in clinical practice. Support of HRSA Strategic Goals The following HRSA Strategic Goals are supported by the Guidelines for Women&amp;#8217;s Preventive Health Services[3]: Goal I: Improve Access to Quality Care and Services &amp;#183; Strengthen health systems to support the delivery of quality health services. &amp;#183; Promote innovative and cost efficient approaches to improve health. Goal II: Strengthen the Health Workforce &amp;#183; Ensure the health workforce is trained to provide high quality care that is culturally and linguistically appropriate. Goal III: Build Healthy Communities &amp;#183; Lead and collaborate with others to help communities strengthen resources that improve health for the population. &amp;#183; Strengthen the focus on illness prevention and health promotion across populations and communities. Goal IV: Improve Health Equity &amp;#183; Reduce disparities in quality of care across populations and communities. &amp;#183; Monitor, identify and advance evidence-based and promising practices to achieve health equity.

Current grants awarded under the SBIRT Health Professionals Student Training grants (TI-15-001) are not eligible to apply because they are currently receiving funding for this program.  In addition, eligibility is being restricted because SAMHSA seeks to further expand the impact of the SBIRT- Student Training program across the nation and to a variety of academic institutions.      Eligibility is restricted to these entities because they train health professions students who are most likely to implement SBIRT services to persons at risk of substance use disorders.  These programs have the capacity and structure to train health care personnel in delivering SBIRT services to clients across the range of medical services provision. SAMHSA believes that these entities have the necessary expertise and teaching structure to best provide training of these health care professions students in delivering SBIRT clinical services.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Health Professions Student Training (SBIRT- Student Training) grants. The purpose of this program is to develop and implement training programs to teach students in health professions (physician assistants, dentists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, counselors, and medical students and residents) the skills necessary to provide evidence-based screening and brief intervention and refer patients who are at risk for a substance use disorder (SUD) to appropriate treatment. Additionally, the training will develop the leadership skills needed in order to champion the implementation of SBIRT throughout the United States healthcare system with the ultimate goal of helping clients avoid substance use disorders. The specialty substance use treatment system is often not appropriate, or is unavailable, to those who are at risk for SUD. Therefore, the intended outcomes of this program are to increase the adoption and practice of SBIRT throughout the health care delivery system with the ultimate goal of helping clients avoid substance use disorders. SAMHSA expects that SBIRT will be a component of the education curriculum for the identified programs in each academic year for the duration of the grant and an ongoing element of the academic curriculum post-grant award. A key aspect of SBIRT is the integration and coordination of screening and treatment components into a system of services. This system links a community&amp;apos;s specialized treatment programs with a network of early intervention and referral activities that are conducted during health care delivery. As shown by data collected from SBIRT cross-site evaluations (SBIRT Cohort I Cross-Site Evaluation Final Report, 2010), the vast majority of SBIRT service providers are health professionals such as physician assistants, dentists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers and counselors. While some physicians deliver SBIRT, physicians also often lead the effort through clinical work, advocacy, and supervising SBIRT service providers in medical settings. This program will address workforce development by increasing the number of health care professionals who can address the needs of persons at risk for SUD. The training also promotes the emphasis from the Affordable Care Act of a multi-disciplinary team approach to the integration of behavioral health into medical health care systems. The SBIRT &amp;#8211; Student Training program supports the SAMHSA Health Care and Health Systems Integration Strategic as well as Workforce Development Strategic Initiatives. The SBIRT &amp;#8211; Student Training program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial, ethnic, sexual and gender minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial, ethnic, sexual and gender minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix F &amp;#8211; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) The SBIRT &amp;#8211; Student Training grants are authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA. </Description>

        <Description>Alternative waters are waters of marginal quality and not ready for use, including brackish and produced waters. Alternative waters represent important new water sources for sustainable water supplies in New Mexico and the western US where water scarcity is pervasive. Efficiently and sustainably making use of alternative waters requires: new treatment technology; new methods to dispose of concentrate; improved assessment of the quality and quantity of source waters; and tools to show how all of these approaches can be combined into effective new integrated systems. The work to be performed under this cooperative agreement is the continuation of research efforts specifically authorized by Congress. In 2008 and 2009, the U.S. Congress authorized and appropriated funds specifically for New Mexico State University (through Reclamation) to better treat and use marginal quality waters, with efforts to include the use of the Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility (BGNDRF) located in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The initial Federal funds to be obligated for this agreement are unspent Federal funds from the original 5 year cooperative agreement which ended on September 30, 2015. The objective of this cooperative agreement is to further research in the development and use of alternative waters, including the: &amp;#8226;augmentation of water supplies; &amp;#8226;reduction of environmental impacts; &amp;#8226;encouragement of commercialization of treatment technologies; and &amp;#8226;utilization of the BGNDRF. Research results will be disseminated and made publically available through final reports and scientific publications. </Description>

        <Description>Influenza is an important cause of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burden across all age groups. Because influenza viruses are constantly changing and vaccines are reformulated every year, annual estimates of the effectiveness of influenza vaccines in preventing influenza infection and its associated complications are needed in order to evaluate the protection provided by annual, nationwide vaccination programs. Each year in the United States, influenza viruses infect up to 20% of the population and cause hundreds of thousands to millions of medically-attended illnesses and thousands of hospitalizations and deaths. Annual influenza vaccination is the primary influenza prevention strategy and is recommended for all people &amp;#8805; 6 months of age in the U.S. Many studies have described the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of seasonal and 2009 pandemic influenza vaccine formulations against laboratory-confirmed symptomatic and medically-attended outpatient influenza illness (Griffin, 2011; Treanor, 2012; Ohmit, 2014; McLean 2014).</Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to work in close partnership with USGS to assess chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis - Bd) on the endangered mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa). The CESU partner will analyze swab samples through qPCR techniques to answer questions regarding prevalence and intensity of Bd within frog populations and across multiple years and seasons. This data will provide useful information to evaluate the stability and susceptibility of the remaining populations of R. muscosa. The recipient will be integral in providing the protocol for proper sampling techniques, in addition to analyzing the samples provided. The USGS will provide the tools and personnel required for sampling frogs for Bd. Together the USGS and recipient will refine sampling techniques and protocols, if needed.</Description>

        <Description>The NCIRD Influenza Division (ID) is seeking to initiate a cooperative agreement with the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD), Republic of South Africa, to conduct research studies on the epidemiology, disease burden, transmission, risk factors for hospitalization, and effectiveness of vaccination and antiviral treatment for influenza and other respiratory diseases of public health importance. South Africa&amp;#8217;s Viral Watch Programme has collected nationally representative data on influenza circulation for nearly 25 years and is a key contributor of influenza viruses for determining the components of the Southern Hemisphere influenza vaccine. In collaboration with NCIRD ID, South Africa has expanded their influenza surveillance activities to include respiratory hospitalizations in five of nine provinces following the 2009 pandemic. This surveillance platform has allowed them to better understand some risk factors for severe disease; however, it has not generated significant data on the burden of influenza or influenza vaccine effectiveness in some groups targeted for vaccination, particularly pregnant women and their young infants. This new cooperative agreement will allow NCIRD ID to expand collaborations with NICD to look at these and other at risk populations. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Emergency Medical Services for Children State Partnership Regionalization of Care (EMSC SPROC) program. The goal of the EMSC Program is to reduce child and youth mortality and morbidity caused by severe illness or trauma. The EMSC Program does not intend to promote the development of separate EMS systems for children, but rather to enhance the pediatric capabilities of EMS systems originally designed primarily for adults. &amp;#8220;EMS for Children&amp;#8221; broadly means a continuum of care that includes the following components: prevention, pre-hospital care, hospital-based emergency care, and rehabilitation and reentry of the child from the emergency care environment into the community. The overall purpose of this grant program is to reduce pediatric morbidity and mortality by developing regionalized systems of care[1] thus increasing access to pediatric specialists for children in rural, territorial, insular and/or tribal communities. The 2006 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on the future of emergency care described three key principles in its vision for the future of care: regionalization, coordination, and accountability.[i] In January 2012, the National Quality Forum (NQF)[2] published the Endorsement Summary: Regionalized Emergency Care Framework. The NQF organized a steering committee to develop a measurement framework that could serve as a roadmap for future measurement and development within regionalized systems. The steering committee established six key domains or areas considered critical to evaluating regionalized emergency medical care systems. The domains include: Domain 1: Capability, Capacity, and Access Domain 2: Recognition and Diagnosis Domain 3: Resource Matching and Use Domain 4: Medical Care Domain 5: Coordination of Care Domain 6: Outcomes In this next phase, the SPROC grant program will focus on the first of the NQF domains; Capability, Capacity, and Access. This domain focuses on five specific areas: system public health initiatives; pre-hospital capabilities; real-time capacity information and the categorization of participating agencies, organizations, and facilities; preparedness, monitoring, and data sharing; and legal and regulatory frameworks.3 The EMSC SPROC program aims to develop systems of care to increase access to pediatric specialists for all children through the: Development of facility recognition programs; Expansion of facility recognition programs to ensure the inclusion of children in tribal, territorial, rural and insular communities; and Development of similar coordinated systems of care that would reduce and prevent pediatric morbidity and mortality because of timely access to pediatric specialists through established networks. Systems of care will: increase pediatric readiness of facilities to stabilize and treat pediatric patients; improve the transfer process of pediatric patients to higher levels of care; and increase access to pediatric specialists through the use of established networks. The goals for the EMSC SPROC program for the next four years and their corresponding targets are as follows: By December 2016, identify healthcare facilities within and beyond state borders that will be included in the regionalized network. By May 2017, establish baseline data of healthcare facilities that will be included in the regionalized network. By May 2018, develop a pediatric facility recognition program/regionalized network. For applicants that have an established pediatric facility recognition program/regionalized network, increase the number of facilities to include tribal, rural, insular and/or territorial facilities. By May 2020, improve the pediatric readiness score[3] of all hospitals in the defined service area/network and the facility recognition program; and By May 2020, improve clinical quality performance metrics for pediatric emergency services in service area/network hospitals as determined by the applicant. Applicants must develop specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time measurable (SMART) objectives that align with the five goals mentioned above. Applicants must provide further elaboration of the activities in detailed action steps, enumeration of the products and specific health outcomes, as described in the EMSC SPROC Program logic model. A Logic Model for this program is included in Appendix A. [1] Regionalization refers to an established network of resources that delivers specific care &amp;#8211; such as protocols, definitive procedures, higher-care levels, or care pathways &amp;#8211; to a defined population of patients or within a defined geography. Source: National Quality Forum, Endorsement Summary: Regionalized Emergency Care Framework. January 2012. 3 Endorsement Summary: Regionalized Emergency Care Framework. National Quality Forum. Washington, DC. January 2012. [3] A subpanel of experts from the national steering committee was assembled to develop weighting criteria for the national pediatric readiness assessment. Based on the results of the expert panel and the results of the California Pediatric Readiness Project, 24 of the questions were weighted in the national assessment to generate an overall weighted pediatric readiness score (WPRS) for each hospital. The WPRS was normalized to a 100-point scale. The final weighting for each section for the national assessment included 19 points for coordination of care, 10 points for physician/nurse staffing, 7 points for quality improvement, 14 points for patient safety, 17 points for policies/procedures, and 33 points for equipment and supplies.

        <Description>Community-oriented policing is meant to build trust among citizens and police, raise awareness of the threat of crime, including violent extremism, and eventually decrease the available space for criminal and/or violent extremist organizations to operate. Community engagement and community-oriented policing also provides communities with the necessary tools to intervene and prevent radicalization. Community engagement and community-oriented policing strategies should be holistic and involve all sectors of society in order to find the right partners to sustain the engagement. In this effort, both women and youth must be included and leveraged as positive change agents. In addition, all strategies should focus on establishing long-term and collaborative relationships among community members and officials. In order to build trust, practitioners and officials must be honest and transparent in their efforts to engage communities and must be sure to appeal to all members of society. If security services are accountable, communities will be more likely to trust the police, strengthening a partnership between communities and law enforcement, which will lead to increased interaction between the two groups, and increasing trust, and ultimately the chances of efficiently identifying and solving problems of general crime and violent extremism.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>Media Projects Grants support film, television, and radio projects for general audiences that encourage active engagement with humanities ideas in creative and appealing ways. All projects must be grounded in humanities scholarship in disciplines such as history, art history, film studies, literature, drama, religious studies, philosophy, or anthropology. Projects must also demonstrate an approach that is thoughtful, balanced, and analytical (rather than celebratory). The approach to the subject matter must go beyond the mere presentation of factual information to explore its larger significance and stimulate critical thinking. NEH is a national funding agency, so the projects we support must demonstrate the potential to attract a broad general audience. Film and television projects may be single programs or a series addressing significant figures, events, or ideas. Programs must be intended for national distribution, via traditional carriage or online distribution. The Division of Public Programs welcomes projects that range in length from short-form to broadcast-length video. Radio projects, including podcasts, may involve single programs, limited series, or segments within an ongoing program. They may also develop new humanities content to augment existing radio programming or add greater historical background or humanities analysis to the subjects of existing programs. They may be intended for regional or national distribution. NEH encourages projects that engage public audiences through multiple formats in the exploration of humanities ideas. Proposed projects might include complementary components to a film, television, or radio project. These components should deepen the audience&amp;#8217;s understanding of the subject in a supplementary manner: for example, book/film discussion programs, supplementary educational websites, or museum exhibitions. Development grants enable media producers to collaborate with scholars to develop humanities content and to prepare programs for production. Grants should result in a script or detailed treatment and may also yield a plan for outreach and public engagement. Production grants support the production and distribution of films, television programs, and radio programs that promise to engage a broad public audience.</Description>

        <Description>The ONR seeks proposals for developing existing or innovative solutions that directly support the development and maintenance of a robust STEM workforce. The goal of any proposed effort should be to provide solutions that will establish and maintain a diverse pipeline of U.S. citizens who are interested in uniformed or civilian DoN (or Navy and Marine Corps) STEM related workforce opportunities. While this announcement is relevant for any stage of the STEM pipeline, funding efforts will be targeted primarily towards the future DoN (naval) STEM workforce in High Schools, all categories of Post-Secondary institutions, the STEM research enterprise, and efforts that enhance the current naval STEM workforce and its mission readiness. Efforts may encompass a spectrum of project sizes from exploratory pilots to large-scale regional or national initiatives. The technical content of any idea must establish naval relevance within the broad scope of key engineering and scientific areas as outlined in the Naval S&amp;amp;T Strategic Plan, or such as our National Naval Responsibilities (see ONR website), or any identified gaps in workforce needs. Specific audience priority areas may include, but not be limited to, military dependent children, education systems integral to the naval science and technology enterprise, and veteran initiatives that improve education outcomes and connections to naval STEM careers. While not a formal requirement or program focus of this FOA, applicants are strongly encouraged to consider under-represented populations including women and minorities in project plans.

        <Description> Funding Opportunity Announcement No. BOR-UC-16-F001 Water Conservation Field Services Program Fiscal Year 2016 Mission Statement The mission of Reclamation is to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public. The Bureau of Reclamation&amp;#8217;s Upper Colorado Region is requesting applications for the Water Conservation Field Service Program (WCFSP). Many, if not most, of the Bureau of Reclamation projects in the Upper Colorado Region have been in operation for several decades and are still using practices and procedures that represent state-of-the-art technology at the time the project was constructed. Much can be done to advance these projects to 2000&amp;apos;s technology with the accompanying increase in water use efficiency. Likewise, per capita urban water use in various locations within the Upper Colorado Region is among the highest in the nation. Reclamation has financial assistance available in the form of grants and cooperative agreements for water conservation activities. Applications are now being accepted from those entities wishing to receive financial assistance from the Water Conservation Field Services Program for fiscal year 2014. Information regarding Water Conservation Field Services may be viewed at: http://www.usbr.gov/uc/progact/waterconsv/index.html Synopsis Federal Agency Name: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, Salt Lake City, Utah Funding Opportunity Title: Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) Announcement Type: Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Funding Opportunity BOR-UC-16-F001 : Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 15.530 Water Conservation Field Services Program Dates: (See FOA Sec.

Reporting Requirements and Distribution 27 Supplemental Questions for FOA BOR-UC-16-F001 27 &amp;#8195; Section I&amp;#8212;Funding Opportunity Description The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has a major responsibility, in partnership with water users, States, and other interested parties, to help improve water resource management and the efficiency of water use in the western United States. With passage of the Reclamation Act of 1902, Reclamation&amp;apos;s original challenge was to promote the settlement of the West by providing the necessary infrastructure for the irrigation of small family farms. Extensive tracts of arid and semi-arid lands have become some of the most productive agricultural area and urban centers in the world. And, in addition to irrigation, Reclamation projects provide water for homes and industries, recreation, fish and wildlife, power generation, and flood control. Now, after more than 100 years, Reclamation&amp;apos;s primary role has evolved from one of water resource development to one of water resource management. More efficient water use is a key component of Reclamation&amp;apos;s water resource management strategy. A. Background The Bureau of Reclamation&amp;#8217;s Upper Colorado Region is requesting applications for the Water Conservation Field Service Program (WCFSP). Many, if not most, of the Bureau of Reclamation projects in the Upper Colorado Region have been in operation for several decades and are still using practices and procedures that represent state-of-the-art technology at the time the project was constructed. Much can be done to improve these projects with new technology to realize increase in water use efficiency. Reclamation has financial assistance available in the form of grants and cooperative agreements for water conservation activities. Applications are now being accepted from those entities wishing to receive financial assistance from the Water Conservation Field Services Program for fiscal year 2016. 1. Program Objective The program objective is to conserve water, encourage water conservation and management planning, and promote modern-day water management and conservation practices by water purveyors and users. 2. Objective of Request for Applications Reclamation is especially interested in supporting activities that promote the preparation of written water management and conservation plans; implement activities identified in written water management plans. All of these activities are intended to assist water users in minimizing waste and improving water use efficiency. For more program information see http://www.usbr.gov/waterconservation/. B. Eligible Projects Reclamation is providing financial assistance for a variety of cooperative activities, demonstration programs and pilot projects to promote and implement improved water management and conservation. To be eligible for financial assistance, a proposed activity must be within the Upper Colorado Region&amp;#8217;s service area (see Map on last page), or activities outside the service area must be within an area authorized to be served by a project under the Upper Colorado Region&amp;#8217;s jurisdiction. 1. Types of Projects Activities to be considered for financial assistance should address one of the following, listed in order of funding preference: (a) Water Management Planning; Help water purveyors develop written water management and conservation plans that are modeled after plans described in Achieving Efficient Water Management: A Guidebook for Preparing Agricultural Water Conservation Plans, Second Edition (Guidebook, http://www.usbr.gov/uc/progact/waterconsv/pdfs/Guidebook2000.pdf). The proposed activity should address one or more of the planning tasks discussed in the Guidebook. The proposal should describe why the applicant needs financial assistance to help prepare a written plan. It should also describe what Federal or State regulations require the preparation of a plan, what tasks will be accomplished during the activity, when and to whom the plan will be submitted, and how Federal funds will be used to prepare the plan; (b) Implementation of Efficiency Measures; Implement more efficient water management measures with special emphasis on the &amp;quot;fundamental&amp;quot; water management practices (i.e., measuring and metering , seepage/leak detection and reduction, and rebates for installing water saving equipment and fixtures as part of its written water management and conservation program (This is a &amp;#8220;starter&amp;#8221; program and is not intended for extensive distribution system rehabilitation or on-farm modernization). The application should indicate that the proposed activity is included in the organization&amp;#8217;s written water conservation and management plan, when and to whom the plan was submitted, describe the proposed activity and associated water savings. It should tell why the activity is important to the organization and how the organization intends to monitor the effectiveness of the implemented activity. Since Federal funds will probably not cover full implementation of the activity, the application should explain how the organization intends to achieve full implementation of the activity. The application should also explain how Federal funds will be used to implement the activity; (c) Demonstration Projects; Increase technical understanding of unfamiliar water management and conservation principles and practices that have not been previously used locally. The proposed activity should not only &amp;#8220;publicly&amp;#8221; demonstrate a new or unfamiliar practice; it should contain a process for informing interested individuals and organizations about the outcome of the demonstration. The application should describe what principle or practice is to be demonstrated. The application should explain why the demonstration is necessary and what the intended outcome of the demonstration is. The application should contain a process for informing the public about the outcome of the demonstration. It should also explain how Federal funds will be used for the demonstration activity. C. Program Authority Water Conservation Field Service Program activities are eligible for financial assistance under Public Law 111-11, Section 9504(a). 1. In accordance with Section 9504(a)(3)(B) of Public Law 111-11, grants and cooperative agreements under this authority will not be awarded for an improvement to conserve irrigation water unless the applicant agrees to both of the following conditions: &amp;#9679; Not to use any associated water savings to increase the total irrigated acreage of the eligible applicant; and &amp;#9679; Not to otherwise increase the consumptive use of water in the operation of the eligible applicant, as determined pursuant to the law of the State in which the operation of the eligible applicant is located. 2. Applicants shall adhere to Federal, State, Territorial, and local laws, regulations, and codes, as applicable, and shall obtain all required approvals and permits. Applicants shall also coordinate and obtain approvals from site owners and operators. 3. If the activities funded through an agreement awarded under this FOA result in a modification to a portion of a federally owned facility that is integral to the existing operations of that facility, the Federal government shall continue to hold title to the facility and the improvements thereto. Title to improvements that are not integral to existing water delivery operations shall reside with the project sponsor. 4. The non-Federal share of the cost of operating and maintaining any infrastructure improvement funded through the award shall be 100 percent. 5. Liability IN GENERAL.&amp;#8212;Except as provided under chapter 171 of title 28, United States Code (commonly known as the &amp;#8216;&amp;#8216;Federal Tort Claims Act&amp;#8217;&amp;#8217;), the United States shall not be liable for monetary damages of any kind for any injury arising out of an act, omission, or occurrence that arises in relation to any facility created or improved under the award, the title of which is not held by the United States. TORT CLAIMS ACT.&amp;#8212;Nothing in this section increases the liability of the United States beyond that provided in chapter 171 of title 28, United States Code (commonly known as the &amp;#8216;&amp;#8216;Federal Tort Claims Act&amp;#8217;&amp;#8217;). Section II -- Award Information Dun and Bradstreet (D&amp;amp;B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Requirement Applicants must provide a D&amp;amp;B DUNS number on their application. If you do not have a DUNS number, one may be obtained at no cost by calling the dedicated toll-free DUNS Number Request Line at 1-866-705-5711, or by going to the DUNS Government Contractor and Grantee website at: http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. Total Project Funding: The total amount of funding for all grants or cooperative agreements awarded as a result of this request for applications is approximately $213,000.00, contingent upon appropriations. Additional funds might become available during the fiscal year, at which time ranked applications that did not make the initial cut may be funded according to ranking, based upon Program priority. Any awards are subject to a determination by Reclamation that FY 2016 appropriations are available and that awards can be made consistent with all program requirements. A.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the State Offices of Rural Health (SORH) grant program. Federally funded since 1991, the purpose of the State Offices of Rural Health grant program is to assist states in strengthening rural health care delivery systems by maintaining a focal point for rural health within each state. The program provides funding for an institutional framework that links small rural communities with state and federal resources to develop long term solutions to rural health problems. This competing continuation guidance provides instruction for applying for a new five year project period. Authorizing legislation provides that each SORH must conduct the following activities: (1) Establish and maintain within the state a clearinghouse for collecting and disseminating information on: (A) rural health care issues; (B) research findings relating to rural health care; and (C) innovative approaches to the delivery of health care in rural areas; (2) Coordinate the activities carried out in the state that relate to rural health care, including providing coordination for the purpose of avoiding redundancy in such activities; and (3) Identify federal and state programs regarding rural health, and provide technical assistance to public and nonprofit private entities regarding participation in such programs. The legislation also allows that each SORH may: Conduct activities pertaining to the recruitment and retention of health care professionals to serve in the rural areas of their states: and Provide sub-awards and contracts to public and non-profit organizations to carry out SORH activities.</Description>

        <Description>This grant program supports projects for general audiences that encourage active engagement with humanities ideas in creative and appealing ways. Many different formats are supported, including permanent and traveling exhibitions, book or film discussion programs, historic site or district interpretations, living history presentations, and other face-to-face programs in public venues. All projects must be grounded in humanities scholarship in disciplines such as history, art history, film studies, literature, religious studies, philosophy, or anthropology. Projects must also demonstrate an approach that is thoughtful, balanced, and analytical (rather than celebratory). The approach to the subject matter must go beyond the mere presentation of factual information to explore its larger significance and stimulate critical thinking. NEH is a national funding agency, so the projects we support must demonstrate the potential to attract a broad general audience. We welcome humanities projects tailored to particular groups, such as families, youth (including K-12 students), teachers, seniors, at-risk communities, and veterans, but they should also strive to cultivate a more inclusive public audience. NEH encourages projects that explore humanities ideas through multiple formats. Proposed projects might include complementary components that deepen an audience&amp;#8217;s understanding of a subject: for example, a museum exhibition might be accompanied by a website, mobile app, or discussion programs.

        <Description>INL&amp;#8217;s traditional focus has been on providing training to prosecutors through the Prosecutors Training Center on ethics and trial advocacy skills. It now sees the need to provide training to criminal defense lawyers on these same skills, but also to provide preparatory training to those who have yet to pass the bar, and to build a network amongst criminal defense lawyers country-wide. In looking at what INL can offer, it seeks to complement those efforts of USAID by proposing the objectives and activities below in the form of a grant, using INCLE funds with options for four extensions. The lack of access to timely and acute information is an obstacle to hindering the development of a professional defense counsel. Therefore there is a need to establish and provide a basis for a defense counsels community to increase and strengthen its capacity, legal professionalism and practical experience. All three objectives complement activities we already support and allow for better communication between Bishkek and the regions and meshes well with current INL-funded training for the prosecutors. </Description>

        <Description>The National Fish Habitat Action Plan is a national investment strategy to leverage federal and privately raised funds to protect, restore, and enhance the nation&amp;apos;s fish and aquatic habitats through partnerships that foster fish habitat conservation. Funds appropriated to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service&amp;apos;s (Service) Fish and Aquatic Conservation (FAC) Program specifically to implement the Action Plan will be utilized in collaboration with the National Fish Habitat Board and Fish Habitat Partnerships. Fish Habitat Partnerships are the primary work units of the Action Plan, formed around distinct geographic areas, &amp;quot;keystone&amp;quot; fish species, or system types (e.g. large lakes, impoundments, estuaries). Funds will support national and regional science and coordination activities to protect, restore, or enhance fish habitats. All or a portion or project funds may be transferred to partner organizations if the Service lacks the capability to implement a project. Projects must protect, restore, or enhance fish and aquatic habitats or otherwise directly support habitat-related priorities of Fish Habitat Partnerships or the National Fish Habitat Board. Every project must be identified in the Fisheries Operational Needs System (FONS), a database that identifies the operational needs of FAC field stations, including fish habitat project needs. FAC field offices will work with Fish Habitat Partnerships to identify fish habitat projects, and enter them into the FONS. Entities that seek to propose a fish habitat conservation project for consideration should contact a local or regional office of the Service FAC Program.</Description>

        <Description>EDA is seeking applications for a one (1) year cooperative agreement to conduct research and analysis that results in tools for better aligning and integrating federal economic development programs. A core piece of this work will involve the creation and delivery of comprehensive, useable economic development program content that will facilitate access to and maximize the efficiency of such programs. Ultimately, such tools will permit communities seeking federal and other assistance to achieve their economic development objectives. Applicants should describe how they would develop and deliver comprehensive information, including an inventory of federal economic development programs and related content that identifies and clearly delineates the parameters for all economic development programs administered by all federal agencies. At a minimum, parameters for each program must include eligibility, typical uses, complementary uses, target applicant type, the types of activities supported by the program, other funding requirements or constraints and the outputs and outcomes expected by the programs. The ideal inventory would use the lens of EDA&amp;apos;s logic model to identify how four key areas of economic development capacity are advanced through the identified federal economic development programs. Additionally, research and analysis will be conducted to explore the extent to which EDA&amp;apos;s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS) process could fulfill or better align with the economic/community/workforce development planning requirements of other Federal economic development programs. See section I.C of this FFO. Recommendations are sought for improved alignment of planning requirements across such programs.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is soliciting white papers and full proposals for technologies to enable advanced maritime surveillance and response capabilities. Work under this BAA will consist of applied research and advanced technology development, and it will be funded under Budget Activity 2 and 3 respectively (as defined in DoD Financial Management Regulation Vol. 2B, Ch. 5). The overall S&amp;amp;T effort is envisioned to be conducted at the TRL 2-6 stage. Background and Objectives The overall objective of this program is to conduct applied research and advanced technology development for an undersea system to autonomously detect targets and to communicate through both seawater and the air-sea interface. Its foci are 1) detection and classification of objects of interest with high confidence, and 2) transmission of these objects of interest in areas with tactical constraint. 1) Autonomous Detection, Tracking, Localization, and Identification. Under this thrust, both hardware and software products to detect, discriminate, and classify sources of interest will be investigated to optimize quality, speed of production, and level of production in autonomous employment. 2) Command, Control, and Communications (C3). This thrust will provide undersea data collection, storage, intra-nodal transfer, and/or exfiltration in real-time or in a &amp;#8220;store-and-forward&amp;#8221; capacity to remote sites. The following subsections describe the technology thrusts in more detail. Some specific topics of interest are given below, but submissions within the general interest area are encouraged and will be considered. The expected deliverables include hardware, firmware as needed to support hardware, software prototypes, algorithmic descriptions, and study findings as appropriate. Data rights for technologies developed or leveraged for this effort should be clearly stated in the White Paper and proposal; however, proposals should assume either government purpose rights (GPR) or unlimited rights. Justification provided for data rights more restrictive than GPR will be considered on a case-by-case basis. ****************************************************************************************************The FULL ANNOUNCEMENT is available on the Grants.gov website by scrolling to the top of the synopsis page and clicking on the &amp;quot;FULL ANNOUNCEMENT&amp;quot; box surrounded by the dotted line at the top of the page. </Description>

        <Description>The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS or System) consists of estuarine areas of the United States and its territories designated and managed for research and educational purposes. Each Reserve within the system is chosen to represent a different bio-geographic region and to include a variety of ecosystem types in accordance with the classification scheme of the national program as specified in 15 C.F.R. Part 921. By funding designated Reserve agencies and universities to conduct land acquisition and construction projects that support the NERRS mission, NOAA will strengthen protection of key land and water areas, enhance long-term protection of Reserve areas for research and education, and provide for facility and exhibit construction that meet the highest sustainable design standards possible. NOAA anticipates approximately $1.7 million in Fiscal Year 2016 will be available to designated lead Reserve agencies or universities in coastal states for approximately 1-10 construction and acquisition projects, from approximately $20,000 to $800,000 each and with project periods typically covering 12-36 months, depending on the availability of funds. </Description>

        <Description>The project aims to evaluate the impact of non-pharmaceutical measures (NPIs) on incidence of influenza-like infections (ILI) among K-12 students in the United States via multi-year community randomized trials. The NPIs of interest will include at least one social distancing measure of interest, and an improved personal hygiene (hand washing and/or alcohol-based hand sanitizer use) and environmental hygiene practice (cleaning of frequently touched surfaces) within schools. The social distancing measures of interest include, but are not limited to, (1) reducing class size to allow for increases in space between students to at least 3 ft, and (2) reducing duration of the school day (e.g. by offering a certain proportion of daily school instruction via remote learning systems). Additionally, use of disposable medical face masks can be included as a source control measure for students exhibiting respiratory symptoms with or without fever while at school. The outcomes of interest include (1) incidence of ILI-associated student absenteeism and (2) incidence of laboratory-confirmed respiratory infections as detected by multiplex PCR assay.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>SAMHSA is limiting eligibility for this program to mental health consumer-controlled organizations that are domestic public and private nonprofit entities, tribal and urban indian organizations, and/or community- and faith-based organizations.  A primary goal of the program is to strengthen the capacity of consumers to act as agents of transformation in influencing the type and amount of services, so they must be an integral part of an organization that supports individuals with a serious mental illness or who have received public mental health services, and ensures that their mental health care is consumer-driven with access to recovery support services.  Therefore, only organizations controlled and managed by mental health consumers are eligible to apply.  Consumer-controlled organizations must meet the following requirements:   &amp;#8226; An applicant organization must complete the Certificate of Eligibility (see Appendix III of the FOA) indicating that the applicant meets all eligibility requirements.    In order to strengthen and expand the impact of this program across the nation and ensure broad geographic distribution, SAMHSA will make only one award per state, territory, or tribe and is limiting eligibility to applicants in states, territories, and tribes that do not have a currently funded Statewide Consumer Network grant.  Tribes, regardless of location, are eligible to apply providing they do not have a currently funded grant.  See Appendix IV of the FOA for a listing of states, territories, and tribes with a currently funded Statewide Consumer Network grant.  Organizations located in these jurisdictions are not eligible to apply.  Tribal organization means the recognized body of any American Indian/Alaska Native tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities.  Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services, is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Statewide Consumer Network (SCN) grants. The purpose of this program is to improve mental health services for people with serious mental illness. In doing so, the program seeks to enhance statewide mental health consumer-run and &amp;#8211;controlled organizations to promote service system capacity and infrastructure that is consumer-driven, recovery-focused, trauma-informed, culturally relevant, holistic, and resiliency-oriented. Program goals are to: (1) enhance consumer participation, voice, leadership, and empowerment statewide to effect systems change and improve the quality of mental health services; (2) facilitate access to evidence-based and promising practices; (3) enhance knowledge, skills, and abilities within mental health service and/or peer support providers related to recovery and trauma-informed approaches; (4) emphasize and build consumer leadership within the organizations and in the community, as well as through partnerships and collaboration with allied stakeholders; and (5) promote activities related to the following: partnership development with families, young adults and peers in addiction recovery; peer support values and standards; and trauma-informed peer support. Toward that end, the program promotes activities such as training, leadership, and skills development; trauma-informed and gender responsive peer support and peer certification standards; consumer involvement in the development and delivery of evidence-based and promising practices; peer participation in crisis planning, early intervention and crisis response; diversity and cultural responsiveness; partnership development, and integrated care and wellness. It also seeks to address the needs of underserved and under-represented consumers, including those from ethnic, racial, or cultural minority groups; sexual orientation and gender minority individuals; those with histories of chronic homelessness or involvement with the criminal justice system; and those with co-occurring mental health, trauma-related, and/or substance use disorders. The SCN program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix F &amp;#8211; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) SAMHSA has demonstrated that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental health and substance use disorders. Behavioral health services improve health status and reduce health care and other costs to society. Continued improvement in the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment, and recovery support services provides a cost-effective opportunity to advance and protect the nation&amp;#8217;s health. To continue to improve the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment, and recovery support services, SAMHSA has identified six Strategic Initiatives to focus the agency&amp;#8217;s work to improve lives and capitalize on emerging opportunities. The SCN program closely aligns with the Recovery Support and Trauma and Justice Strategic Initiatives. SCN grants are authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services, is accepting applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2016 National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS) grant. The purpose of the NCCTS is to develop and maintain a collaborative network structure, support resource and policy development and dissemination, and coordinate the network&amp;#8217;s national child trauma education and training efforts. The NCCTS is part of the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (NCTSI). The purpose of NCTSI is to improve the quality of trauma treatment and services in communities for children, adolescents, and their families who experience or witness traumatic events, and to increase access to effective trauma-focused treatment and services for children and adolescents throughout the nation. The initiative is designed to address child trauma issues by creating a national network of grantees&amp;#8212;the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) or Network&amp;#8212;that works collaboratively to develop and promote effective trauma treatment and services for children, adolescents, and their families exposed to a wide array of traumatic events. The NCTSN is composed of three types of centers: &amp;#8226; The National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS) - (Category I) develops and maintains the collaborative network structure, supports resource development and dissemination, and coordinates the Network&amp;#8217;s national child trauma education and training efforts. &amp;#8226; The Treatment and Service Adaptation Centers - (Category II) provide national expertise and assume responsibility in the Network for specific areas of trauma, such as specific types of traumatic events, population groups, and service systems, and support the development and adaptation of effective trauma treatments and services for children, adolescents, and their families that can be implemented throughout the nation. &amp;#8226; The Community Treatment and Services Centers - (Category III) are primarily service programs that implement and evaluate effective treatment and services in community settings and youth-serving service systems and collaborate with other NCTSN centers on clinical issues, service approaches, and policy, financing, and training issues. The NCCTS program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix F &amp;#8211; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) Children of deployed military personnel have more school, family, and peer-related emotional difficulties in comparison to national samples. Therefore, SAMHSA has identified military families as a priority population under this funding opportunity. The NCCTS is authorized under Section 582 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.

This grant program is designed to equip individuals with the skills they need through innovative approaches that can rapidly train workers for and connect them to well-paying, middle- and high-skilled, and high-growth jobs across a diversity of H-1B industries such as Information Technology (IT), healthcare, advanced manufacturing, financial services, and broadband. Projects funded by this grant program will help participants begin careers in H-1B occupations and industries which are in-demand and/or high growth in the area applicants are proposing to serve. On a limited basis, this grant program will also enable applicants to work with companies on increasing the skills of existing workers in lower-skilled jobs to move into more highly skilled positions requiring technology-related skills. These grants will pilot and scale public-private partnerships among the workforce investment system, education and training providers, and business-related nonprofit organizations to address the following goals for the target populations: 1) Expand access to accelerated learning options that provide the fastest paths to good jobs, such as &amp;#8220;bootcamp&amp;#8221; style programs, online options, and competency-based programs to give people the skills required for employment in three months to two years among people with historic barriers to accessing employment and training;2) Improve the likelihood that those populations complete training and enter employment, through specialized training strategies, supportive services and other focused participant services that assist targeted populations to overcome barriers, including networking and job search, active job development, transportation, mentoring, and financial counseling; 3) Connect those who have received training or who already have the skills required for employment, but are being overlooked, to employment, paid internships, or Registered Apprenticeship opportunities that allow them to get work experience and prove themselves to hiring employers; 4) Demonstrate strong commitment to customer-centered design and excellence in customer experience, so that the programs and services reflect real need of employers and participants, through human centered design methodology and other methods of design thinking; and 5) Ensure that innovations form the basis for broader change and sustainability over time and that a clear strategy exists for adapting to rapidly changing market needs after the initial period of the grant.</Description>

These inventories and collections focus on a number of areas throughout the state. Contextual data they collect will be documented and submitted to the BLM for use in planning and resource management. Paleontological resources recovered will be curated at an approved repository and used for research and educational programs. The curation of paleontological resources includes maintaining a collections database, providing a secure facility for the long term preservation of the collections, making the collections available for research and providing outreach to the general public and the scientific community. The recipient will maintain a database which documents fossil localities throughout Arizona as well as specimens in the collections. The database has been and will continue to be updated and imported into a GIS format that can be used by the BLM for resource management decisions, long range planning, and site specific projects. To provide for the long term preservation of these Heritage Assets, proper equipment and storage must be maintained by the repository. This includes purchase of secure cabinetry, a secure and monitored collections facility, and proper documentation and tracking of the collections. Outreach efforts by the recipient may include, teacher workshops, scientific publications, natural history films and family and children&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s educational opportunities. These outreach efforts may involve public fossils in museum collections or field trips/ educational opportunities to public lands. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Advanced Nursing Education Program to support the enhancement of advanced nursing education and practice. Funded projects will implement creative academic-practice partnerships within advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) primary care programs. Partnerships between academic institutions and rural and/or underserved primary care practice sites will promote APRN students&amp;#8217; readiness to practice upon graduation by improving training and competencies for both students and preceptors. Working collectively, these partnerships will &amp;#183; Facilitate the meaningful exchange of information to identify the needs of the community and the clinical workforce; &amp;#183; Use this information to enhance curriculum, preceptor recruitment, training and evaluation; and &amp;#183; Shape the experiential training of advance practice nursing students to be better prepared upon graduation to provide care for rural and underserved populations. Program Requirements The ANE program supports partnerships formed between academic institutions and primary care practice sites in order to improve experiential training and competencies for students and preceptors. ANE applicants must create academic-practice partnerships and utilize these partnerships to develop new strategies and models for preparing graduate nursing students to address the unique, medically-complex needs of rural and underserved populations. This must include a definitive, measurable plan to facilitate the meaningful exchange of information between programs of nursing and primary care practice sites that serve underserved and rural populations. This meaningful exchange of information will highlight any gaps in student preparation and preceptor knowledge and skills and lead to recommendations to resolve these training gaps. ANE applicants must: &amp;#183; Establish or enhance academic-practice partnerships between at least one school of nursing and two or more primary care facilities that are located in underserved and/or rural settings; &amp;#183; Establish formal, ongoing feedback mechanisms between schools and practice sites to yield enhanced curriculum and a meaningful training experience by: o Assessing advanced practice students&amp;#8217; knowledge, skills, and abilities and identifying specific training gaps to inform improvements to current curriculum and clinical training; and o Assessing preceptor competencies, identifying specific training gaps, and providing the necessary training to improve preceptor knowledge and skills; and &amp;#183; Expand clinical training opportunities in primary care settings located in underserved and/or rural settings and place advanced practice nursing students in these practice sites. Funding Factors For this program, HRSA will use statutory funding preferences. If requesting one of the statutory funding preferences, applicants must request the preference and demonstrate they meet all of the criteria of the identified funding preference as outlined in Section V.2. Review and Selection Process. Applicants should state their intention to request the funding preference in the Project Abstract and demonstrate meeting the criteria in Attachment 10.</Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services, is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Statewide Family Network Program grants. The purpose of this program is to enhance state capacity and infrastructure to better respond to the needs of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families by providing information, referrals, and support to families who have a child, youth, or adolescent with mental health challenges, and to create a mechanism for families to participate in state and local mental health services planning and policy development. By strengthening the knowledge and capacity of families with children who have mental health challenges to act as agents of transformation in influencing the type and amount of services provided to them and their children, SAMHSA expects to enhance services and systems, improvement outcomes, and mental health care that is family-driven and youth-guided. The Statewide Family Network Program builds on the work of SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Center for Mental Health Services, which helped to establish a child and family focus in programs serving children and adolescents with mental health challenges around the country. Today, nearly every state has active family organizations dedicated to promoting systems of care that are responsive to the needs of children and adolescents with mental health challenges and their families. Although significant progress has been made, further support will ensure self-sufficient, empowered networks that will effectively participate in state and local mental health services planning and behavioral health service planning activities related to improving community-based services for children and adolescents with mental health challenges and their families. SAMHSA has demonstrated that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. Behavioral health services improve health status and reduce health care and other costs to society. Continued improvement in the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment, and recovery support services provides a cost effective opportunity to advance and protect the nation&amp;#8217;s health. To continue to improve the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment, and recovery support services, SAMHSA has identified six Strategic Initiatives to focus the Agency&amp;#8217;s work on improving lives and capitalizing on emerging opportunities. The Statewide Family Network Program closely aligns with SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Recovery Support Strategic Initiative. The Statewide Family Network Program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix F &amp;#8211; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) The Statewide Family Network Program grants are authorized under section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP2020-MHMD. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Licensure Portability Grant Program (LPGP). The primary purpose of the LPGP is to provide support for State professional licensing boards to carry out programs under which licensing boards of various States cooperate to develop and implement State laws and related policies that will reduce statutory and regulatory barriers to telemedicine. The program is designed to leverage the experience of State licensing boards that have a strong record of implementing cross-border activities to overcome licensure barriers to the provision of telemedicine services across many States. The program is designed to encourage recipients to gather information on best practices and identify and carry out strategies for sharing information on successful approaches on cross-State licensures related to telemedicine with other States, stakeholders, and the public. It is anticipated that recipients under this program will provide information on emerging policy changes by licensure bodies that have relevance to telehealth. As well, recipients will be expected to develop multi-State efforts along a continuum of activities from uniform applications to multi-Sate licensure compacts which have shown to be effective from past efforts under this program authority. While this program&amp;#8217;s statute refers to telemedicine, for the purposes of this announcement, the terms telemedicine and telehealth are used interchangeably. Health care delivery patterns do not always conform uniformly with State boundaries, particularly in the delivery of telemedicine services (where care may be provided at a distance from the patient). Accordingly, there are often situations in which a provider in one State is delivering services to a patient in another State. Clinical practice is regulated through State licensure bodies and providers are required to be licensed in the State in which the patient is located. The challenge for stakeholders is how to balance ensuring the safety of patients within the existing licensure system in a manner that also takes into account the growing use of telehealth technology to improve access to care for needed services in an efficient manner. Licensure portability is seen as one of the key elements among the wide range of strategies needed to improve access to quality health care services through the deployment of telehealth and other electronic practice services (e-care or e-health services) in this country. Licensure portability goes beyond improving the efficiency and effectiveness of electronic practice services. Overcoming unnecessary licensure barriers to cross-State practice is seen as part of a general strategy to expedite the mobility of health professionals in order to address workforce needs and improve access to health care services, particularly in light of increasing shortages of health care professionals in rural and other areas and increased demand for health care services. It is also seen as a way of improving the efficiency of the licensing system in this country so that scarce resources may be better used in the disciplinary and enforcement activities of State boards, rather than in potentially duplicative licensing processes. This may also reduce the burden on health care providers who provide clinical services via telemedicine technology. There is strong evidence to support the fact that certain medical and psychological specialties have been able to utilize cross-State licensure strategies to improve the quality of health care. Previous LPGP award recipients have used this funding to develop uniform on-line applications HRSA-16-014 2 to be used by multiple States, allowing for a more efficient and less burdensome application process for physicians and psychologists seeking to be licensed in multiple States to provide services via telemedicine technology. At a more strategic level, past LPGP award recipients have developed multi-State licensure compacts, greatly streamlining the process to license providers in multiple States. This announcement solicits applications from a broad range clinical, non- clinical, counseling, and other licensing boards, including nursing and social work, who may utilize telehealth in the provision of services through initiatives such as uniform on-line applications and compacts,.</Description>

        <Description>Although invention and proof-of-concept testing of new technologies is a key component of the BRAIN Initiative, to achieve their potential these technologies must also be optimized through feedback from end-users in the context of the intended experimental use. This seeks applications for the optimization of existing and emerging technologies and approaches that have potential to address major challenges associated with recording and manipulating neural activity, at or near cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain.This FOA is intended for the iterative refinement of emergent technologies and approaches that have already demonstrated their transformative potential through initial proof-of-concept testing, and are appropriate for accelerated development of hardware and software while scaling manufacturing techniques towards sustainable, broad dissemination and user-friendly incorporation into regular neuroscience practice.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies that are essential, yet also sufficient, for investigators to make definitive decisions about the designs of important clinical trials within NHLBI&amp;apos;s mission, the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders. This mechanism may be used to test the feasibility of novel and efficient (pragmatic) trial designs, as well as determine the feasibility of an intervention, intervention parameters, subject availability, or other information essential to complete the design of a trial. Applications should demonstrate that the proposed pilot studies are both necessary and sufficient to permit definitive decisions about the design of the subsequent clinical trial. Applicants who propose solely to write a protocol or manual of operations or to develop infrastructure for a clinical trial will not be considered appropriate for this announcement. The NHLBI anticipates that the R34 award period will yield robust investigator-initiated clinical trial grant applications for the evaluation of interventions for the treatment or prevention of heart, lung, blood, or sleep disorders. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is to encourage applications that will develop and validate novel tools to facilitate the detailed analysis of complex circuits and provide insights into cellular interactions that underlie brain function. The new tools and technologies should inform and/or exploit cell-type and/or circuit-level specificity. Plans for validating the utility of the tool/technology will be an essential feature of a successful application. The development of new genetic and non-genetic tools for delivering genes, proteins and chemicals to cells of interest or approaches that are expected to target specific cell types and/or circuits in the nervous system with greater precision and sensitivity than currently established methods are encouraged. Tools that can be used in a number of species/model organisms rather than those restricted to a single species are highly desired. Applications that provide approaches that break through existing technical barriers to substantially improve current capabilities are highly encouraged. </Description>

        <Description>This Activity aims to improve public accountability in Mali by increasing and strengthening citizens&amp;#8217; role in the process. This goal will be achieved by 1) strengthening mechanisms of bottom-up social accountability, 2) strengthening Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) partnerships with the government and the private sector to develop public policy and advance issues of common interest, and 3) strengthen citizens&amp;#8217; understanding of their rights and responsibilities, and empower them to engage with government actors. A primary measure of the success of these activities will be the extent to which they contribute to measurably more responsive and accountable service delivery at the sub-national level.</Description>

        <Description>The National Collaboration to Promote Health, Wellness, and Academic Success of School-Age Children &amp;#8211; CDC-RFA-DP16-1601- is focused on promoting and implementing evidence-based policies, practices, and programs in five priority areas. National non-government organizations (NGOs) will support states, school districts, and/or schools to achieve the short, intermediate-, and long-term outcomes. There are three strategies and associated activities in this FOA: 1) professional development and technical assistance; 2) education and dissemination; and 3) partnership and coordination activities. These three categories of strategies and the associated activities will provide school health and education leaders in states, districts, and/or schools with greater knowledge, skills, and abilities to develop and implement evidence-based policies, practices, and programs. These strategies have broad reach, sustained health impact, and are a good investment for public health. The three strategies will be applied in five priority areas: 1) Physical Education and Physical Activity,2) Nutrition Environment and Services,3) Out of School Time Healthy Eating and Physical Activity,4) School Health Services for Managing Chronic Conditions,5) School Health Services for Promoting Sexual Health.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages collaborative applications that will contribute to the identification and characterization of patients at risk of developing cancer treatment-related cardiotoxicity. The primary intent is to mitigate cardiovascular dysfunction while optimizing cancer outcomes. To accomplish this, methods that evaluate cardiac risk prior to treatment and integrate evidence-based cancer treatment regimens with screening, diagnostic, and/or management strategies are sought. Research applications should focus on mitigation/management of adverse effects associated with anti-cancer treatments including: cytotoxic chemotherapies, targeted agents, immunomodulatory therapies and radiation (that occur during cancer treatment and/or long-term survivorship) as defined by cardiac specific common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE).</Description>

More specifically, Power Africa , USAID&amp;#8217;s Bureau for Africa, and other offices within USAID/Washington, and USAID Missions in sub-Saharan Africa countries, are seeking to engage with interested parties to develop activities or projects that can pool funds, talent, and resources from USAID, other government agencies, and private sector partners to support Power Africa. It is envisioned that alliances formed under this Power Africa Addendum to the GDA APS will focus primarily on the following programmatic areas: 1. Financing Strategies for Power Production 2. Late Stage Power Sector Transaction Support 3. Small-Scale Power Projects and Rural Electrification/Mini-Grids Support 4. Power Sector Regulatory and Institutional Strengthening and Policy Reform 5. Power Sector Training, Mentoring, Networking and Internships 6. Power Sector Risk Mitigation Strategies 7. Development or Piloting of Innovative Energy Technologies This Power Africa APS Addendum is designed to catalyze, facilitate and support such collaboration with the private sector and other key development partners which will further Power Africa&amp;#8217;s goals. The GDAs formed as a result of this Addendum are envisioned to be inclusive of multiple partners, i.e., businesses, universities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government institutions, foundations, who are working within sub-Saharan Africa. The GDAs are also envisioned to serve as a way to enable programmatic coordination across many organizations that are involved in facilitating the generation of new power sources. </Description>

        <Description>The National Council on Disability (NCD) seeks proposals for a report which examines student mental health services in institutions of higher education. The findings in this report will primarily serve to assist policymakers, including the White House and Congress, and institutions of higher education with insight needed to make policy decisions designed to improve outcomes for students with mental health disabilities. The report will also provide students with mental health disabilities and those who support them, with an understanding of policy, legislation, and initiatives that impact their lives. The report will provide a comprehensive examination and assessment of existing student mental health services and policies and will make recommendations for reform to address the needs of students with mental health disabilities. Thus, the research will include an examination of the policies and physical barriers that hinder or prevent students from accessing mental health services, including policies that discriminate against students with mental health disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The report will identify gaps and weaknesses in services, effective practices and emerging trends that may improve outcomes for students with mental health disabilities, and recommend changes to allow students to fully benefit from mental health services in post-secondary settings. </Description>

        <Description>DE-FOA-0001395: Building America Industry Partnerships for High Performance Housing Innovation The Department of Energy&amp;#8217;s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), on behalf of the Buildings Technologies Office (BTO), announces the Funding Opportunity Announcement &amp;#8220;Building America Industry Partnerships for High Performance Housing Innovation&amp;#8221; with funding up to $5.5 million. The Building America Research Program is the Residential Building Integration (RBI) Program&amp;#8217;s premier applied research program. The Program is responsible for over 40 housing innovations to date that have enabled technology and market advancements in residential energy efficiency. With this FOA, RBI will select additional building science teams in 2016 for the Building America Research Program. This FOA builds on work begun in the 2015 Building America FOA. Awardees will conduct applied research, development and demonstration (RD&amp;amp;D) in real world houses of cost-effective technologies and practices that can help reduce the energy use intensity (EUI) of new single-family homes by 60% and existing single-family homes by 40%, relative to the 2010 average home EUI in each climate zone, by 2025, with a focus on reducing heating and cooling loads. This FOA has 2 topics: Topic 1: Building America Technology to Market Roadmap Projects Topic 1 addresses three integrated technology gaps focused on achieving high performance residential buildings and overcoming market barriers to adoption at scale, including: A) High Performance Moisture-Managed Building Envelope Systems; B) Optimized Comfort Systems for Low-Load Homes; and C) High Performance Ventilation Systems &amp;amp; IAQ Strategies. Topic 2: Home Improvement RD&amp;amp;D Projects Topic 2 addresses RD&amp;amp;D related to innovative energy efficiency upgrade opportunities for trade contractors during home improvements. Topic 2 projects must offer significant potential for increasing the energy efficiency of existing homes by addressing cost and/or market entry barriers related to home improvement trades adding energy efficiency measures during typical home improvement transactions. Applicants may propose RD&amp;amp;D projects in the following home improvement sectors: Envelope upgrades (i.e., roofing, siding, &amp;amp; window replacements, foundation repairs, or other home envelope improvements related to achieving energy savings) Mechanical system upgrades (i.e., HVAC service &amp;amp; replacements with the potential for significant energy savings above standard practice) In addition, DOE will also consider Topic 2 project proposals that develop and/or demonstrate: Innovative, cost saving methods/technologies for assessing home performance, either during inspections or real time operation. On November 30, 3:00PM EST there will be an informational webinar about the FOA.

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on whether there has been a geographic shift in the breeding area source of the population-wide production of black brant (hereafter, brant) in the eastern Pacific Flyway and if so, what are the mechanisms driving the shift. Have increases in the number of brant nesting in the Arctic lead to greater production, potentially offsetting recorded declines in brant nesting at their primary breeding areas on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD) in southwestern Alaska? The Pacific Flyway population of brant has increased 20% over the last 25 years despite a nearly 25% decline in the number of brant nesting on the YKD over the same time period. The YKD has traditionally been the primary breeding area for black brant in the eastern Pacific Flyway with a secondary breeding in the Arctic coastal areas of Alaska, northwestern Canada and northeastern Russia. Lacking is supportive evidence for a change in the origin of the brant productivity from the YKD to Arctic nesting areas and a mechanistic understanding of the reasons for the possible growth in the brant nesting population in the Arctic.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on the Human Immunology Project Consortium (HIPC) solicits applications from single institutions, or consortia of institutions, to participate in a network of human immunology profiling research groups in the area of infectious diseases, including HIV. The purpose of this FOA is to characterize human immune responses/mechanisms elicited by vaccinations, adjuvants or natural infection by capitalizing on recent advances in immune profiling technologies. Studies supported under this FOA will measure the diversity and commonalities of human immune responses under a variety of conditions using high-throughput systems biology approaches coupled with detailed clinical phenotyping in well-characterized human cohorts. The long-term goal is to develop molecular signatures that define immune response categories/ fingerprints/profiles that correlate with the outcomes of vaccinations, adjuvants or natural infections in humans. An additional goal of this program is to advance research by promoting rapid public access to HIPC-supported data and results through public portals such as ImmPort and ImmuneSpace, as well as the development of new methods for data integration, analysis, presentation, and visualization to further research and development in this field. Ultimately, this foundation of knowledge can also be applied to human immune-mediated diseases, such as allergy, asthma, transplant rejection, autoimmune syndromes and other inflammatory conditions.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled &amp;#8220;Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Research, Development, and Demonstrations&amp;#8221;. The Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) is a key component of the Department of Energy&amp;#8217;s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) portfolio. Fuel cells powered by hydrogen from renewable or low-carbon resources can lead to substantial energy savings and reductions in imported petroleum and carbon emissions. FCTO aims to provide clean, safe, secure, affordable, and reliable energy from diverse domestic resources, providing the benefits of increased energy security and reduced criteria pollutants and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. FCTO accomplishes its goals by adopting a technology-neutral approach toward research, development and demonstration (RD&amp;amp;D) to address both key technical challenges for fuel cells and hydrogen fuels (i.e. hydrogen production, delivery and storage) and other barriers such as hydrogen codes and standards. The central mission of FCTO is to enable the widespread commercialization of a portfolio of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies through applied RD&amp;amp;D, and diverse efforts to overcome institutional and market challenges. Fuel cells can address our critical energy challenges in all sectors: transportation, commercial, residential, and industrial. They can use diverse fuels, including biomass-based fuels, natural gas, and hydrogen produced from renewable resources. FCTO&amp;#8217;s focus is primarily transportation and light-duty passenger vehicles utilizing hydrogen as an energy carrier. These areas will have the greatest impact in terms of GHG and petroleum reduction and they are aligned with the President&amp;#8217;s goals and Climate Action Plan. However, FCTO also supports a range of other applications, including near-term markets such as distributed primary and backup power, lift trucks, and portable power; mid-term markets such as residential combined-heat-and-power (CHP) systems, and auxiliary power units; and longer-term markets such as fleet vehicles. This FOA will provide funding to meet FCTO&amp;#8217;s goals for Hydrogen Production and Delivery, Hydrogen Storage, Fuel Cell Technologies, Technology Validation, Manufacturing, and Analysis Programs. More detailed descriptions of the FCTO Programs, including technical and cost targets, can be found in the Multi-Year Research, Development and Demonstration Plan (MYRD&amp;amp;D) at http://energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/downloads/fuel-cell-technologies-office-multi-year-research-development-and-22. It is anticipated that up to $35M in DOE funds will be awarded under this FOA, subject to the availability of appropriations. This Notice is issued so that interested parties are aware of the EERE&amp;#8217;s intention to issue this FOA in the near term. All of the information contained in this Notice is subject to change. EERE will not respond to questions concerning this Notice. Once the FOA has been released, EERE will provide an avenue for potential Applicants to submit questions. EERE plans to issue the FOA on or about December 10, 2015 via the EERE Exchange website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/. If Applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding this FOA, they should register in EERE Exchange. When the FOA is released, applications will be accepted only through EERE Exchange. </Description>

        <Description>LOID is a special government district formed to distribute water to users within the LOID district area. In 2010, Reclamation and LOID conducted an appraisal investigation to evaluate alternative water sources for the Lewiston Orchards Project (LOP) and determine whether there is at least one viable alternative to pursue. A well field is one of the alternatives considered in the appraisal study; therefore, on August 27, 2013, the Bureau of Reclamation and LOID entered into Cooperative Agreement No. R13AC11013 to complete design and construction activities for a pilot groundwater well project to further investigate the practicality of the well field alternative as an alternative water supply. The objective of the new groundwater well is to exchange a portion of the LOP&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s current surface water source for groundwater from the new well, to partially resolve impacts to endangered steelhead and their habitat caused by surface withdrawals of irrigation water. LOID and Reclamation agreed to share costs associated with this pilot project. The project is on-going. The LOID competed work for the well house completion task associated with this project, and they received a number of bids which all exceeded the initial amount budgeted for this work. Therefore, it is Reclamation&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s intent to provide additional funds in the amount of $559,967 to LOID to cover the increased cost to complete this project. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) envisions a nation where our children are healthy, educated, and free from violence. If they come into contact with the juvenile justice system, the contact should be rare, fair, and beneficial to them. To meet this vision, this program will focus on supporting training and technical assistance that helps states, state courts, local courts, units of local government, and Indian tribal governments develop, maintain, and enhance drug courts for substance-abusing adults who are involved with the family court due to child abuse and/or neglect issues. </Description>

        <Description>This solicitation is a two-part process: (1) Concept Note Submission; (2) Full Proposal Submission. After the review of submitted concept notes, selected applicants will be invited to expand their submissions into full proposals. Selected applicants will have 10 business days after they are notified of their selection to complete their full proposals. Because most local applicants may have limited information technology resources, concept notes, proposals and questions about this funding opportunity can be forwarded via email to the contact email address listed for that country in Section D, 3 of the the Full Announcement document, which is part of the attachments to this solicitation. This solicitation is the U.S. Government&amp;#8217;s primary multi-year inter-agency vehicle for cooperation with partner countries in the Sahel and the Maghreb to strengthen civilian, military, law enforcement capacity to counter terrorism and the spread of violent extremism. Priority will be given to projects that address one or more of the following themes: --Increasing collaboration and connectivity between local and national government officials and communities at risk of recruitment and radicalization to violence; --Enhancing the capacity of local and national government entities (e.g., Ministry of Information) to develop and implement countering violent extremism (CVE) strategies and messaging; --Encouraging defections from violent extremist groups and supporting the rehabilitation and reintegration of demobilized/disengaged fighters; --Providing positive alternatives to communities, especially youth, most at risk of recruitment and radicalization to violence (e.g., political, economic, and social inclusion opportunities); --Strengthening resilience among refugees and internally displaced persons (IDP) at risk of recruitment and radicalization to violence; --Promoting conflict mitigation and reconciliation among communities at risk of recruitment and radicalization to violence; and --Building cross-border linkages and networks that can identify and mitigate recruitment and radicalization to violence.The above list is not exhaustive, but rather meant to be illustrative of the kinds of challenges and needs to address in this notice of funding opportunity. Whether addressing one of the above or a self-identified challenge, all concept notes should clearly and succinctly explain the challenge the project would address and how the proposed project would help counter the spread of violent extremism. Concept notes may address more than one challenge, but should be focused enough to achieve concrete results in a 12-24 month period. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages investigator-initiated applications that propose hypothesis-driven research using erythroid cells.The aim of this program is to support research efforts towards a complete description of the molecular and cellular components of erythropoiesis and how these components function to achieve normal erythropoiesis.Components include genes that are expressed (transcriptome) in erythroid cells, either during development or during differentiation, chemical changes to DNA and histone proteins (epigenome) and the proteins (proteome) that are translated in erythroid cells, including post-translational modifications or subcellular localizations that are unique to erythroid cells.A long range goal of this program is to generate a concise description of erythropoiesis that unifies genetics, molecular processes and cytokine determinants in the erythroid lineages so that new therapeutics may be developed to measure and combat anemia.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to test a model of quality clinical care addressing childhood obesity for U.S. low-income children, especially those enrolled in or eligible for health care coverage under the Children&amp;#8217;s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or Medicaid. Specifically, the purpose of this FOA is to implement and test the ability of a model of clinical childhood obesity management along with a EHR-referral-based, family-centered pediatric weight management program, to reduce body mass index (BMI) in children with obesity, or overweight with risks (including, e.g., medical and behavioral risks, and family history). Health outcomes of interest include measurable changes in BMI, nutrition and physical activity behaviors, health care satisfaction and service delivery, and quality of life. This will be accomplished through optimized pediatric care:1) Implementation and evaluation of a EHR-referral-based, structured, intensive family-centered weight management program in the clinic or community;2. Collaboration with state CHIP offices to advise a state-wide or regional level project and to be part of a stakeholder group that can help generate suitable recommendations for sustainability and program components to be further replicated or scaled.</Description>

        <Description>Lyme disease, caused primarily by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in the United States, is the most commonly reported vector-borne disease with &amp;gt;30,000 confirmed or probable cases reported annually and a recent estimate suggesting that ten-fold more cases may occur. There is currently no human vaccine against B. burgdorferi. However, tick/pathogen control efforts that combine killing of host-seeking ticks with targeting of natural rodent reservoirs for B. burgdorferi can reduce the abundance of host-seeking infected ticks on residential properties. The purpose of the project is to advance knowledge of the impact of protection of single versus multiple adjacent properties - in relation to human landscape use patterns and tick exposure locations &amp;#8211; to reduce human exposure to ticks infected with Lyme disease spirochetes. </Description>

        <Description>The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is seeking organizations based in East Africa, legally registered in Tanzania or Kenya, with functioning offices in these countries to submit applications to provide technical assistance for the &amp;#8220;Data for Local Impact Innovation Challenge&amp;#8221; Project, which is one among several investments under a broader Data Collaboratives for Local Impact Umbrella Program. This is the initial announcement for this new funding opportunity. The Data Collaboratives for Local Impact Umbrella Program will initially fund investments in the following three areas, as integral and interconnected components of the overall investment:1. Data for Local Impact Innovation Challenge (also referred to hereafter as the &amp;#8220;Data Innovation Challenge&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;Challenge,&amp;#8221; and the focus of this application (i.e., Applicants are requested to submit applications only for this component out of the three (03) three below mentioned Program components): This Project will involve establishing a flexible online and operations platform that will be used to launch two (02) or three (03) grant and/or success-contingent awards (henceforward referred to as &amp;#8220;prizes&amp;#8221; ) challenges windows per year, in a variety of themes, and open only to local (i.e. in-country national) groups, collaborations and/or organizations. It will aim to strategically surface, engage, support, and connect local innovators, entrepreneurs, advocates, and south-to-south collaborators, to unlock datasets, as well as to fill data gaps to strengthen the overall data ecosystem while also responding to local, subnational and national priorities as well as the select requirements of the Data Collaboratives and the DREAMS partnership .2. Tanzania Data Collaborative (or &amp;#8220;Co-Lab&amp;#8221;): Venue, technology platform and working space to share, combine and use data from multiple sectors and sources. At national and sub-national levels, there are opportunities to connect local objectives to Tanzanian national priorities, global commitments (e.g. Global Data Partnership), and resources. The Co-Lab will be a center of activity to connect these resources and build the capabilities to make open data and data analysis a more prominent part of decision-making in Tanzania. The Co-Lab is also intended to be the anchor project for the Data Collaboratives Program, interconnecting with and making resources available in support of other projects and their respective stakeholders.3. Subnational Data Collaboratives: This Project, which is still under development, will seek to improve the capacity of DREAMS subnational and district/county institutions to provide actionable data locally and increase citizen, infomediary , community stakeholder organizations (CSOs), and small and medium enterprise (SME) participation in improving services and/or use of data to improve lives. There are major data gaps at the subnational levels &amp;#8211; and comparatively lesser investment from governments, donors and the private sector. At the same time, subnational levels are precisely where added focus is needed to achieve local impact and even more so given the trends related to decentralization of power, funds, and decision-making from national to subnational levels. </Description>

        <Description>The Competitive State Wildlife Grants (C-SWG) Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (States) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include planning and conservation implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of a State Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Implementation activities are activities that a State carries out to execute their Plan. Priority for use of these funds must be placed on identified species of greatest conservation need and should take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. The C-SWG Program prioritizes and supports projects that are designed, implemented, and evaluated within an explicit adaptive management framework. The C-SWG Program is funded through annual appropriations of Congress.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>III. ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION    A. All responsible sources from academia and industry may submit proposals under this BAA. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals. However, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation, due to the impracticality of reserving discrete or severable items of this research for exclusive competition among such entities.    B. Federally Funded Research &amp;amp; Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal Offerors are allowed so long as such arrangements are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC.    C. Navy laboratories and warfare centers as well as other Department of Defense and civilian agency laboratories are also not eligible to receive awards under this BAA and should not directly submit either white papers or full proposals in response to this BAA. If any such organization is interested in one or more of the programs described herein, the organization should contact an appropriate Gary Toth, Ryan Craven or Sukarno Mertoguno to discuss its area of interest. As with FFRDCs, these types of federal organizations may team with other responsible sources from academia and industry that are submitting proposals under this BAA.    D. University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) are eligible to submit proposals under this BAA unless precluded from doing so by their Department of Defense UARC contract.    E. Teams are also encouraged and may submit proposals in any and all areas. However, Offerors must be willing to cooperate and exchange software, data and other information in an integrated program with other contractors, as well as with system integrators, selected by ONR.    F. Offerors should be aware of recent changes in export control laws. Offerors are responsible for ensuring compliance with all International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR)(22 CFR &amp;#167;120 et. seq.) requirements, as applicable. In some cases, developmental items funded by the Department of Defense are now included on the United States Munition List (USML) and are therefore subject to ITAR jurisdiction. Offerors should address in their proposals whether  11  ITAR restrictions apply or do not apply, such as in the case when research products would have both civil and military application, to the work they are proposing to perform for ONR. The USML is available online at http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?node=pt22.1.121. Additional information regarding the President&amp;apos;s Export Control Reform Initiative can be found at http://export.gov/ecr/index.asp.    G. Cost sharing is not expected and will not be used as a factor during the merit review of any proposal hereunder.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare ONR&amp;#8217;s broad role in competitive funding of meritorious research across a spectrum of science and engineering disciplines. A brief description of the ONR Program science and technology thrusts that ONR is pursuing is provided below. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals addressing Full-Spectrum Cyber (FSC) science and technology for real-time cyber-resilient systems including current and legacy Industrial Control &amp;amp; Combat Systems (ICCS) with complex and evolving software. This BAA originates from the ever-growing need for comprehensive and novel methods for cybersecurity and resiliency of legacy and currently deployed information systems including real-time ICCS. The critical nature, real-time requirements, and physical effects of such systems impact the health and safety of human lives and the critical systems. The availability of real-time security solutions is limited because such systems have not been the traditional focus of cybersecurity research and development. The objective of this BAA is to solicit solutions to enhance the cybersecurity, resiliency, integrity, and availability of real-time systems. This solicitation is broken up into three separate S&amp;amp;T cyber thrust areas of interest: - Cyber-attack resilient and fault-tolerant communications - Cyber-attack resilient and fault-tolerant systems - Proactive-cyber shaping Cyber-attack resilient and fault-tolerant communications The ONR is interested in proposals for developing new approaches for implementing real-time cyber resiliency. This section of the BAA is concerned with communication channels which must be robust against cyber disruptions affecting the communication&amp;#8217;s integrity and availability. ICCS are designed for survivability and availability of operations over a long lifecycle that may span multiple decades. Completely redesigning or replacing them is not a viable solution. Therefore, we are interested in cyber resiliency solutions for communication channels that can be retrofitted into legacy systems. Additionally, current control systems communicate across numerous interfaces, protocols, and physical channels that span from traditional IP networks to low-level system backplanes. Unlike traditional computer systems, allowing faults and exploitation of weaknesses with control systems is not acceptable, as it will pose a significant risk to the health and safety of human lives or result in serious damage to its environment. Traditional IP network cybersecurity proposals will be reviewed but are not the primary focus of this BAA. Proposed research should enhance the cybersecurity/robustness of a low-level communication channel or system backplane. A successful proposal at this level may require an understanding of non-standard or legacy backplane architecture and protocols. Proposals should concentrate on the detection and mitigation of malicious cyber events for assured operations and communication robustness in tactical and real-time communication channels that exist on manned and unmanned Naval platforms. Cyber-attack resilient and fault-tolerant systems The ONR is interested in proposals for developing new approaches for implementing real-time cyber resiliency. This section of the BAA is concerned with real-time systems which must be resilient against naturally occurring faults and cyber disruptions affecting the operations of an individual controller. Computing components that comprise real-time control systems are expected to operate over a long lifecycle that may span multiple decades. As such, it is not practical to completely redesign or replace them. Therefore, we are interested in technologies to enhance real-time control system resiliency that can be retrofitted into legacy systems. Traditionally, the components of real-time control systems have generally been designed to be tolerant of physical and random faults. In contrast, faults and other adverse behavior due to cyber exploits result in total system failure or corruption even under the protection of typical fault-tolerant mechanisms. This BAA solicits novel approaches to enhance fault-tolerance in real-time control systems so that a system is resilient to a cyber attack, allowing it to operate continuously while maintaining the integrity of its operations. Due to their real-time nature, controllers often require that outputs are generated periodically and processed with regular frequency (sometimes referred to as the epoch). The cyber exploit resiliency mechanism needs to perform detection and recovery within a window of time such that the physical system remains stable without a control signal. Upon recovery, a controller&amp;#8217;s knowledge of the physical system state must also be restored. Control systems are typically engineered to withstand some loss of state, such that the loss does not impact the overall stability of the physical system. Any state information lost should be within the tolerable amount for maintaining physical system stability, which is application specific, and often a small multiple of the epoch. The recovery mechanism should be able to remove a malicious input and recover to a known good state within the acceptable limits of the physical system. Proposals should concentrate on the detection and mitigation for assured cybersecurity and resiliency of tactical and real-time controllers on manned and unmanned Naval platforms. Proactive-Cyber Shaping Proactive-cyber shaping focuses on developing effective new approaches in cyber, information, and control systems to support tactical decision makers with agile and responsive battlespace shaping capabilities in a rapidly evolving cyberspace. Proactive-cyber shaping capabilities for real-time ICCS will provide an in-depth understanding of a system&amp;#8217;s cyber health and status, as well as inform the development of novel protocols, security mechanisms, secure computing platforms, modeling, and evaluation techniques for these ICCS. Producing FSC effects will encompass all necessary capabilities to assure access to, and integrity of, all information in the battlespace. Specific proposals should focus on tactical and real-time cyber capabilities for both manned and unmanned US Naval platforms. Desired technologies focus on real-time hardware and software, sensing, monitoring, analysis, and technical applications that protect the US Naval information enterprise. Research ideas are being sought after that build upon fundamental research in computer and information sciences for ensuring the integrity of the US Naval information enterprise including the protection of our ICCS. The cyberspace domain in which the US Naval Forces operate requires advances in cyber that enable our warfighters to remain persistently ahead of the adversary. Proposals are desired that aim to develop methods to assure access to cyberspace and the integrity of command and control, along with advancing research on the convergence of cyber and electromagnetic maneuver. </Description>

        <Description>This Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO or Announcement) announces the anticipated availability of funding for the MBDA Business Consulting Project (&amp;#8220;Project&amp;#8221;), and solicits competitive applications for operators in one (1) area. The Project is a pilot established to provide technical assistance and business development services without the use of a traditional brick and mortar office to deliver services. However, services will be rendered in a business environment that is conducive to delivering business development consulting services. The technical assistance and business development services for this Project are provided through a federal financial assistance award (e.g., grants, cooperative agreements) to generate increased financing and contract opportunities for minority business enterprises (MBEs). In addition, the services provided will assist MBEs in creating and retaining jobs.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

For a comprehensive list of Commission limitations on funding, please see What We Do and Do Not Fund. Applications that consist entirely of ineligible activities will not be considered. Award Information A grant is for one year and for up to $40,000 or for two years and for up to $80,000. The NHPRC expects to award approximately 25 grants in this program. The total amount allocated for this program is up to $650,000. Grants begin no earlier than January 1, 2017. The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all publicity, publications, and other products that result from its support. Eligibility These grants are awarded only to SHRABs in each state, or to the state agency responsible for the SHRAB, ordinarily the state archives. Another state agency, or a non-profit organization, such as a foundation or university, acting on behalf of the designated state agency may apply. States also include the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and United States territories. Cost Sharing The total costs of a project are shared between the NHPRC and the applicant organization. The Commission provides no more than 75 per cent of total direct project costs in the State Board Programming Grants category. NHPRC grant recipients are not permitted to use grant funds for indirect costs (as indicated in 2 CFR 2600.101). Cost sharing is required. The applicant&amp;#8217;s financial contribution may include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. Indirect costs must be listed under the applicant&amp;#8217;s cost sharing contribution. Other Requirements Applicant organizations must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submitting an application, maintain SAM registration throughout the application and award process, and include a valid DUNS number in their application. Details on SAM registration and requesting a DUNS number can be found at the System for Award Management website at https://sam.gov.

Projects may focus on the papers of major figures from American history or cover broad historical movements in politics, military, business, social reform, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience. The historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project. The goal of this program is to provide access to, and editorial context for, the historical documents and records that tell the American story. The NHPRC encourages projects, whenever possible and appropriate, to provide access to these materials in a free and open online environment, without precluding other forms of publication. Applicants should demonstrate familiarity with the best practices recommended by the Association for Documentary Editing or the Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions. Projects may also prepare print editions as part of their overall publishing plan. However, projects that do not have definitive plans for digital dissemination and preservation in place at the time of application will not be considered. It is also expected that the contents of any print volumes produced will be made available online within a reasonable period of time following print publication. Grants are awarded for collecting, describing, preserving, compiling, transcribing, annotating, editing, encoding, and publishing documentary source materials in print and online. Because of the focus on documentary sources, grants do not support preparation of critical editions of published works unless such works are just a small portion of the larger project. All applicants should be aware that the application process is highly competitive. Ongoing projects: Applicants from ongoing projects must demonstrate that they have successfully achieved the performance objectives associated with previous NHPRC awards; provide updated, current information, including a description of the new activities as well as description and significance of the specific materials to be edited during the proposed grant period; show progress towards completing the edition; and justify costs in a new budget. For a comprehensive list of Commission&amp;apos;s limitations on funding, please see What We Do and Do Not Fund. Applications that consist entirely of ineligible activities will not be considered. Award Information A grant is for one year and for up to $200,000. The Commission expects to make up to 25 grants in this category for a total of up to $2,500,000. Grants begin no earlier than January 1, 2017. The Commission requires that grant recipients acknowledge NHPRC grant assistance in all publications and other products that result from its support. Eligibility U.S. nonprofit organizations or institutions U.S. colleges, universities, and other academic institutions State or local government agencies Federally-acknowledged or state-recognized Native American tribes or groups Cost Sharing The total costs of a project are shared between the NHPRC and the applicant organization. The Commission provides no more than 50 per cent of total direct project costs in the Publishing Historical Records in Documentary Editions category. NHPRC grant recipients are not permitted to use grant funds for indirect costs (as indicated in 2 CFR 2600.101). Cost sharing is required. The applicant&amp;#8217;s financial contribution may include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. Indirect costs must be listed under the applicant&amp;#8217;s cost sharing contribution. Other Requirements Applicant organizations must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submitting an application, maintain SAM registration throughout the application and award process, and include a valid DUNS number in their application. Details on SAM registration and requesting a DUNS number can be found at the System for Award Management website at https://sam.gov. Please refer to the User Guides section and the Grants Registrations PDF. A complete application includes the Application for Federal Assistance (Standard Form 424), Assurances -- Non-Construction Programs (Standard Form 424B), a Project Narrative, Summary, Supplementary Materials, and Budget. Applications lacking these items will not be considered. Ineligible applications will not be reviewed.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the MCH Pipeline Training Program (MCHPTP). the purpose of the MCHPTP is to promote the development of a culturally diverse and representative health care workforce by recruiting undergraduate training students from economically and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds (including racial and ethnic minorities) into maternal and child health (MCH) professions. MCHPTP will recruit training students from economically and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds (including underrepresented racial and ethnic minority students who are African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaskan Native) into maternal and child health professions. The program will educate, mentor, guide and provide enriching experiences to increase students&amp;#8217; interests and entry into MCH public health and related fields such as pediatrics, MCH nutrition, MCH social work, MCH nursing, pediatric dentistry, psychology, health education, pediatric occupational/physical therapy, speech language pathology, etc. MCHPTP will encourage and motivate students to seek careers in maternal and child health by making the appropriate undergraduate didactic research, clinical and/or field experiences available and exposing students to Title V and other MCH agencies that serve children and families. In addition, MCHPTP will develop leadership skills, foster a broader public health perspective and explore the integration of primary care and public health to improve population health. By the end of the five-year project period, MCHPTP applicants should achieve the following objectives: At least 80 percent of MCH Pipeline graduates will apply for admission into MCH graduate programs. Over the project period, the MCHPTP will increase the percent of MCH Pipeline graduates who enter MCH graduate programs by 5 percent (from 80 percent to 85 percent). At least 80 percent of Pipeline graduates will work in MCH professions after completion of graduate school. The MCHPTP will increase the number of trainees from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups from 80 percent to 90 percent over the five-year project period.</Description>

        <Description>Technical and Management Support to the Chemical &amp;amp; Material Risk Management (CMRM) ProgramOffice of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Energy, Installations &amp;amp; Environment)by the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Unit NWO-CESU-021.0 Background:1.1 Definition. Emerging Contaminants (ECs) are chemicals or materials of interest that are characterized by:&amp;#61607; A perceived or real threat to human health or environment.&amp;#61607; No applicable regulations or peer-reviewed toxicity values, or the regulations/values are evolving.ECs may have insufficient or limited health, science or technology information available. They may also become of interest because a new source or pathway has been discovered or a new detection limit reveals more widespread contamination.ECs are a growing concern nationally and internationally. Besides numerous U.S. efforts, the European Union is about to implement a massive chemical management system called &amp;#8220;REACH&amp;#8221; that will have international implications. 1.2 DoD EC Program. ECs can affect the health of DoD forces, employees and the public; the readiness posture (e.g., training on ranges); acquisition programs (e.g., availability of materials); operation and maintenance of DoD assets; and Component cleanup programs.Given the potential wide-ranging impacts on DoD, DUSD (I&amp;amp;E) established an EC program during POM-08. Working with the DoD Components through a Steering Group, a program has been established that does the following:&amp;#61607; Looks over the horizon, identifies ECs, and filters those that may be of importance to DoD.&amp;#61607; Conducts a systematic impact assessment of ECs to further filter those with clearly significant impacts to DoD in five functional areas.&amp;#61607; Develops risk management options for actions/investments by Program Executive Offices and Program Managers. &amp;#61607; Engages OMB, other federal agencies, states, and industry in strategic EC issues. &amp;#61607; Focuses on reducing the impacts of EC to DoD acquisition programs by managing life cycle ESOH impacts and related life cycle costs. 2.0 Objectives: 2.1 This scope of work defines tasks that will support CMRM. The primary objective is to provide expertise and advice regarding life cycle assessment, industrial hygiene and exposure assessment. 3. 0 Tasks:3.1 General Tasks. The performer shall provide technical and management support for CMRM during the performance period. The support will typically be in the form of technical advice that will be used to formulate DoD positions or policy. Personnel providing support shall be capable and experienced in producing clear, concise summaries of technical and management issues for use by executive level decision makers. Documents can include, but are not limited to, point papers, background papers, position papers, &amp;#8220;PowerPoint&amp;#8221; presentations, executive correspondence (e.g., memoranda), or summaries based on specialized templates developed by the government for specific purposes. 3.2 Specific Tasks. The Recipient shall perform the following specific tasks:3.2.1 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Work Plan Chemicals Assessments. The performer shall receive and coordinate comments received from DoD Commands on specific TSCA Work Plan Chemicals assessments and supporting documentation provided to DoD by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The incumbent will consolidate all comments eliminating redundancies and producing a final package for submission to EPA. Conflicting comments will be adjudicated among the parties. Any unresolved issues will be brought to the attention of the CMRM Program Manager. DoD expects to receive about two such assessments during the period of performance and cannot predict the complexity or timing. The incumbent shall coordinate and lead Service participation in teleconferences with EPA to discuss their verbal response to comments and will track DoD comment incorporation in subsequent draft documents prepared by EPA. This effort shall culminate in one deliverable for each comment period. Each deliverable will list all adjudicated comments and a summary that can be submitted as the DoD response to EPA request for comments.3.2.2 Draft Sustainability Guidance. The performer shall review the DoD Draft Sustainability Analysis guidance for technical soundness and consistency with existing DOD Policies. This will include assessment of the USETox module and integration of requirements derived from the Draft DoD Chemical, Physical and Toxicological (CPT) Guidance Document. The incumbent will provide as a deliverable, specific comments and a written summary to the program manager. This will also include review of the CPT Guidance document and development of recommendations for adapting it to optimize integration of data into USETox. 3.2.3 Phase I Impact Assessments:The performer will provide input and technical support for development of one to two Phase I Impact Assessments that will be conducted during the period of performance. This will include the development of expert elicitation questions, drafting of read-ahead package material describing the regulatory environment and risks posed by the EC, review of DoD subject matter expert responses and results analysis to develop risk management options. This effort will culminate in one deliverable per Phase I impact assessment that includes a list of expert elicitation questions and a read-ahead package. 4.0 Period of Performance:4.1 The period of performance shall be from the date of award to 30 June 2016. At least 60 days notice is required to allow funds recovery if funds cannot be fully expended.

        <Description>OVERVIEW, RECIPIENT AND NPS SUBSTANTIAL INVOLVEMENT Provide a brief overview of the project &amp;#8211; the Recipient and why they were chosen &amp;#8211; NPS Substantial Involvement American Conservation Experience (ACE), one of the 18 national agreement holders was selected based on the information received after posting a request for information. ACE was able to recruit and hire the intern&amp;#8217;s for the last amount and provide them with a larger stipend. The intern is given a work plan when they arrive; one of the activities on the work plan is to develop an independent project that aligns with their personal interest and career goals and will help the monument better protect the resources. The parks resource manager serves as the selecting official and direct supervisor for the interns. The interns work side by side with the resource and interpretation staff to complete assigned duties. The Recipient is a member of the American Conservation Experience who was awarded a Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00015 allowing American Conservation Experience to participate in specific tasks, and can provide the necessary activities involved in this particular task while providing an effective outcome for NPS and the objectives of this research/educational project. The interns work directly with park staff to learn about how the different divisions within a park site work together to ensure that the site is protected for future generations of park visitors. The interns gain knowledge about interpretation, resource management, facility management and administration. The interns work with the public presenting Jr. Ranger and curriculum based activities. They help the park to do public outreach at local parades and fairs. The interns develop environmental education activities. Specifically they develop the kids in the parks programs every Saturday during July and August. Those programs talk about the biodiversity of the plants and animals at Homestead. </Description>

        <Description>DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is pleased to announce a second round of funds available to restore piping plover (Charadrius melodus), a federally threatened shorebird. This opportunity is open to all State and Federal agency personnel, cities, towns or county governments, as well as non-governmental organizations, and individuals. BACKGROUND: Restoration funds ($715,000) were recovered through a natural resource damages settlement with Bouchard Transportation Co., Inc; to compensate for piping plover injured by the Bouchard Barge 120 Oil Spill in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The Natural Resource Trustees (Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and State of Rhode Island) prepared a publically reviewed Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment (Restoration Plan) that proposes to restore piping plover by implementing an enhanced management program at breeding sites in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The program consists of a three-part approach, including targeted predator management, increased enforcement of local beach ordinances on plover-nesting beaches, and outreach and education. To review the Restoration Plan, visit http://www.fws.gov/newengland.2013 Through this request, we intend to fund a third and final round of proposals that address one or more of the priorities identified in the B-120 Plover Restoration Plan. Any predator removal efforts funded under this request must follow the procedures and protocols outlined in the Restoration Plan and all federal, state and local permits must be obtained. Predator removal efforts shall be implemented by USDA Wildlife Services or other qualified professionals. Proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria: a. Priority will be given to sites located within or close to the area impacted by the B-120 Spill (Buzzards Bay, Block Island and the southeast coast of Rhode Island); however, other areas in Massachusetts and Rhode Island will also be considered. Locations outside of MA and RI will not be considered. b. Number of piping plovers likely to benefit c. Site monitoring indicates substantially-reduced reproductive success of piping plovers due to predation and/or human disturbance d. Likelihood that proposed work will be effective in substantially contributing to increased reproductive success or survival of piping plovers at the target site(s) e. Monies cannot be used to meet basic compliance with state and federal laws or to meet mitigation requirements of state and federal permits f. Technical and administrative capacity and qualifications of project team Applicant Requirements Failure to comply with the following requirements may result in forfeiture of grant eligibility. Projects must be completed within three (3) years of receiving funds. Prior to submitting a proposal, the applicant(s) must contact all contributing partners, as appropriate, including State natural resource agency personnel, Federal biologists and resource managers and relevant local landowners, to discuss the proposed project and ensure that the work can be conducted if funded (required permits can be issued, etc.). Affirmation of support for all partners must be provided on the cover page (see Format below). All participants of funded projects must procure all necessary Federal, State, and local permits prior to project initiation. Project site(s) landowner permission must be secured and provided with the project application. Each funded organization must obtain a Dun &amp;amp; Bradstreet (DUNS) number for the project and register at http://www.SAMS.gov Proposal Requirements and Format A proposal must not exceed 5 pages in length, including cover page, executive summary, tables, figures, an itemized budget, and any supplemental information on PI qualifications, etc. The page limit does not include SF-424 or other required forms. Proposals must include the following sections: 1) Cover Page: One page containing the project title, PI(s) and respective affiliations/contact information, the total amount of the request and the total amount of the project (if different), the timeline of the project, and a statement affirming that all PIs and key collaborators are aware of the project and agree to the terms of the proposal. 2) Executive Summary: A one page summary of the proposed project that outlines objectives, demonstrates a need for the project based on past data, and describes the total budget. The summary must be suitable for public release on the USFWS website. 3) Body of the Proposal: Introduction &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Brief background &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; the objectives and anticipated outcome, Methods &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; A description of project activities in support of objectives, including targeted predator species and timeline, Budget &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; the budget, with justification , broken down by objective, including any outside funding (matching funds are not required) 4) Qualifications: A statement detailing the qualifications of PIs and partner organizations. Proposals must be accompanied by all required forms (SF &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; 424, SF &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; 424A, SF-424B &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; see http://www.grants.gov). Proposal Review A panel of Service and other Federal and State Agency representatives will review the proposals and recommend proposals to the Service for funding. Project proposal ranking will be based upon how closely the project meets the criteria addressed above and in the B-120 Plover Restoration Plan. While not a requirement, the use of matching funds and partnerships to augment project resources is encouraged, and will be considered in the ranking process. Minimization of overhead and other indirect costs is also encouraged, and will be considered in the ranking process. Indirect costs in excess of 17.5% are not likely to be competitive and may not be supported. All applicants will be notified of the final disposition of their proposals. The final funding amount and specific scope of work for selected proposals will be negotiated between the applicant and the Service. Applicants must be in good standing on all previously awarded Federal grant agreements to be eligible to receive additional funds. Funded applicants will be required to provide semiannual and final project reports. The semiannual reports should be summaries of approximately 1-2 pages, must be suitable for public distribution, and should include statements about project progress and unexpected setbacks or challenges. The final report must include an executive summary, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, and final budget details. The final project report is due within 90 days from the end of the grant period and must be approved by the Service prior to final payment. Funded applicants must be aware that any deviations from the procedures or objectives specified in an approved project proposal must be presented to, and approved by, the Service before implementing any such deviations. Deadline and Award Details Closing date: December 11, 2015. Proposals must be submitted by midnight on December 11, 2015 to be considered for review. Estimated number of awards: 5. Estimated total funding $280,000. Award ceiling: $50,000. Award floor: $10,000.

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications in two related but distinct areas.The first area is in the development and testing of novel tools and methods of neuromodulation that go beyond the existing variations on magnetic or electrical stimulation, and that represent more than an incremental advance over existing electromagnetic approaches. The second distinct area that this FOA seeks to encourage is the optimization of existing electrical and magnetic stimulation methods. </Description>

        <Description>Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) programs explore promising but unproven concepts with the potential to advance specific surface transportation systems. The Rail Safety IDEA program investigates innovative concepts and methods to improve safety and performance of railroads. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) endeavors to provide funding for the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to continue to carry out the Rail Safety IDEA program. FRA funding for the Safety IDEA program has been provided since October 2002. FRA joined the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), as a joint sponsor of the Safety IDEA program. FMCSA has been funding the Safety IDEA program since the program started in October 2001. In 2013, the Rail Safety IDEA program has become completely independent and separate from the FMCSA; therefore, all projects funded by this Grant must be railroad related projects. The Safety IDEA programs explore innovative concepts that are initiated and proposed by researchers, inventors, universities, or companies, both within and outside the usual transportation research community.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Alaska Science Center (ASC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support an evaluation of contaminant exposure of polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea. Specifically, the objective is to use blood samples to quantify exposure to persistent organic pollutants and polychlorinated biphenyls. The southern Beaufort Sea subpopulation of polar bears has experienced sea ice loss leading to an increasing trend of polar bears spending time on land during summer and possibly increased exposure to contaminants. A characterization of exposure may reveal whether changing behavior has the potential to mediate declines in polar bear health.</Description>

        <Description>The Public Scholar Program supports well-researched books in the humanities intended to reach a broad readership. Although humanities scholarship can be specialized, the humanities also strive to engage broad audiences in exploring subjects of general interest. They seek to deepen our understanding of the human condition as well as current conditions and contemporary problems. The Public Scholar Program aims to encourage scholarship that will be of broad interest and have lasting impact. Such scholarship might present a narrative history, tell the stories of important individuals, analyze significant texts, provide a synthesis of ideas, revive interest in a neglected subject, or examine the latest thinking on a topic. Books supported by this program must be grounded in humanities research and scholarship. They must address significant humanities themes likely to be of broad interest and must be written in a readily accessible style. Making use of primary and/or secondary sources, they should open up important and appealing subjects for a wide audience. The challenge is to make sense of a significant topic in a way that will appeal to general readers. Applications to write books directed primarily to scholars are not appropriate for this program. By establishing the Public Scholar Program, NEH entered a long-term commitment to encourage scholarship in the humanities for general audiences. The program is open to both individuals affiliated with scholarly institutions and independent scholars or researchers. Projects may be at any stage of development. </Description>

        <Description>The National Fish Passage Program (NFPP) is a voluntary program that provides direct technical assistance and financial assistance in the form of cooperative agreements to partners to provide fish (and other aquatic organisms) passage and restore aquatic connectivity for the benefit of federal trust resources. The NFPP is delivered through more than 65 Fisheries and Aquatic Conservation (FAC) Field Offices across all States and territories. FAC staff coordinates with project partners, stakeholders and other Service programs to identify and collaboratively implement projects within Regional priority areas. Project work plans are developed strategically, in coordination with partners, and with substantial involvement from FAC staff. Projects must advance our mission, promote biological diversity, and be based upon sound scientific biological principles. FAC and Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) strategic plans inform the types of projects funded under this opportunity. Applicants seeking funding under this program should review the program strategic plan and also contact the regional NFPP Coordinator for local FAC contacts prior to submitting an application for funding.</Description>

        <Description>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&amp;apos;s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research that will help expand and advance our understanding of how best to disseminate, implement, and translate evidence-based primary prevention strategies, programs, and policies designed to reduce child abuse and neglect. NCIPC is also soliciting investigator-initiated research to expand our knowledge about what works to prevent violence by rigorously evaluating primary prevention strategies, programs, and policies, to address specific gaps in the prevention of injury caused by child abuse and neglect, teen dating violence, intimate partner violence, and sexual violence. This initiative is intended to support primary prevention strategies, programs or policies that target universal or selected high-risk populations (i.e., populations that have one or more risk factors that place them at heightened risk for initial perpetration of violence). Funds are available for research in the areas of child abuse and neglect, teen dating violence, intimate partner violence, and sexual violence as detailed elsewhere in this document.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this announcement is to solicit applications for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), AIDS Education and Training Center National Clinician Consultation Center (AETC NCCC), a component of the HRSA AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) Program. The purpose of the AETC NCCC is to supply health care providers with a national resource to obtain timely and appropriate responses to clinical questions relating to: 1) the treatment of people living with HIV (PLWH) and those at high risk for HIV infection; 2) health care worker exposure to HIV and other blood borne pathogens (e.g., viral hepatitis); 3) the treatment of pregnant women living with HIV, and their exposed infants, and a perinatal referral service to connect them with HIV-experienced care providers; and 4) PLWH with behavioral health and/or substance abuse issues. The efforts of the AETC NCCC will enhance the capacity of the regional AETCs to provide educational consultation to health care providers. With the FY 2015 recompeted AETC regional program, the regional AETCs have a greater focus on providing education, training, and capacity development to clinical providers who are not HIV experts. With this shift, the NCCC, through the work it does, will have a greater role in providing support for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funded HIV expert or highly experience providers. The consultation service provided by the AETC NCCC is not intended to replace sub-specialty consultation but rather to provide information and advice to providers managing PLWH. This FOA will support one (1) National Clinical Consultation Center tasked with serving all 50 states in the United States, the District of Columbia, the U. S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the six U.S. affiliated Pacific Jurisdictions (Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau).</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for supplemental funding for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part D &amp;#8211; Grants for Coordinated HIV Services and Access to Research for Women, Infants, Children, and Youth (WICY). The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to assist currently funded RWHAP Part D WICY recipients in their efforts to strengthen their organizational interventions to improve health outcomes along the HIV care continuum. Applicants for this competitive supplemental funding opportunity may propose an activity that will fill gaps identified in the HIV care continuum for underserved WICY living with HIV/AIDS in their current service area. Funding under this program is not intended to support long-term activities. Instead, the proposed activity should be of a short-term nature and should be completed by the end of the one-year project period for this funding opportunity. Existing RWHAP Part D WICY recipients may submit proposals for one of the following categories: 1) HIV Care Innovation or 2) Infrastructure Development to address the gaps and need for a comprehensive continuum of outpatient HIV primary care services. Applicants must select only one category and one type of activity from the selected category. Applicants may propose an expansion of activities currently supported with Part D supplemental funding; however, the same activity proposed and funded in FY 2015 will not be considered for funding in FY 2016. Under the two categories, the following types of activities are allowable for funding under the FY 2016 RWHAP Part D WICY Supplement: (Choose only one).</Description>

        <Description>The proposed scientific research project will assess the impacts of toxic stormwater runoff on Pacific salmonids and their habitats in urban and urbanizing watersheds of Puget Sound. Moreover, the effectiveness of pollution reduction technologies (i.e., green stormwater infrastructure) as a strategy to improve water quality and enhance salmon survival in freshwater spawning and rearing habitats will be evaluated. This project will scientifically determine the extent to which ongoing changes in human population growth, coastal development, land cover change, climate change, stormwater runoff, and degraded water quality may undermine efforts to effectively conserve and recover salmon and other living aquatic resources. Furthermore, the project will identify solutions-oriented strategies to mitigate toxic runoff and promote ecological resiliency in Puget Sound.</Description>

        <Description>The Digital Humanities Implementation Grants program awards substantial grants to support the implementation of experimental projects that have successfully completed a start-up phase and demonstrated their value to the humanities. Such projects might enhance our understanding of central problems in the humanities, raise new questions in the humanities, or develop new digital applications and approaches for use in the humanities. The program can support innovative digital humanities projects that address multiple audiences, including scholars, teachers, librarians, and the public. Applications from recipients of NEH&amp;#8217;s Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants are welcome. Unlike NEH&amp;#8217;s Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants program, which emphasizes basic research, prototyping, experimentation, and potential impact, the Digital Humanities Implementation Grants program seeks to identify projects that have successfully completed their start-up phase and are well positioned to have a major impact. Proposals are welcome for digital initiatives in any area of the humanities. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this action is to notify potential applicants that a modification to this FOA has been issued. Please use the link below to access Modification 0001 in EERE eXCHANGE. The intent of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to promote the advancement of geothermal energy conversion processes by validating technologies capable of providing a secondary income stream from the same geo-fluids. Methods for economically capturing, concentrating, and/or purifying valuable materials contained within geothermal brines represent an opportunity to both meet critical U.S. materials needs and broaden, as well as strengthen, the value-proposition of geothermal energy operations. Results from this work can enhance current applications, support planned development, and potentially open additional regions in the U.S. for economic utilization of geothermal energy. This FOA invites responses in two (2) general topic areas, outlined below. Collaboration among industry, national laboratories, and academic institutions is encouraged; teaming will be strongly considered during the application reviews. Applicants will also be encouraged to coordinate activities with the Department of Energy (DOE) Critical Materials Institute led by Ames Laboratory. Topic Area 1: Engineering Validation of Existing Extraction Technologies Responses to this Topic Area are to validate processes or procedures to recover these materials from geothermal fluids or produced waters. Proposals may include processes currently effective in other industries that may be transferable to high value/critical material/strategic materials extraction from geothermal fluids, or processes that already experimentally demonstrate effectiveness for material recovery. Topic Area 2: U.S. Regional or Nationwide Assessment of High Value Materials in U.S. Geothermal Fluids and Produced Fluids For the this Topic Area, the Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) seeks approaches to economically and quickly build a public, U.S.-wide resource assessment of dissolved critical and high-value materials that may be site-specific, region-wide, or a national assessment. A successful application will demonstrate expertise in geologic regimes as well as sampling and analysis. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE Exchange website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE Exchange website. A User Guide for the EERE Exchange website can be found on the website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE Exchange website.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities program. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement is to support States in developing and implementing innovative programs to address the oral health workforce needs of designated Dental HPSAs. Funds must be used to develop and implement a workforce program(s) designed to support innovative oral health service delivery models that will increase access to high quality oral health services for underserved populations located in Dental HPSAs or in other areas specifically designated as having a dental health professional shortage by the State. Eligible applicants include only Governor-appointed, State government entities, such as the office of the State&amp;#8217;s dental director or a State-run university or dental school. Applications must define how the State government will be actively involved in the project, including defining the State&amp;#8217;s investment of resources to the project and any planned coordination of activities at the State level. As mandated by law, States must demonstrate commitment to their projects by providing a 40 percent or greater non-Federal match. Applicants are encouraged to define how they will leverage State policies and regulations to meet the oral health workforce needs of underserved populations within the State. Applicants should also be committed to increasing diversity in health professions programs and the health workforce. Because the diversity of each State&amp;#8217;s population may vary, applicants are encouraged to recruit, train, and retain a workforce that is reflective of the diversity of their State, such as minorities underrepresented in the oral health workforce and/or those from rural or disadvantaged backgrounds. Increasing diversity also includes recognizing that patients&amp;#8217; health is enhanced when people of diverse backgrounds and experiences come together to develop innovative practices. Applications for this program must propose innovative oral health care delivery models to address a State&amp;#8217;s oral health workforce needs. For the purposes of this funding opportunity, &amp;#8220;innovative&amp;#8221; oral health service delivery models are new ideas, methods and/or approaches to address the oral health workforce needs. Applicants will be required to clearly describe how the proposal is innovative (i.e. new and/or different in the approach or method) and how the program is expected to improve access and quality of care for underserved populations. Applicants must choose from one or more of the following six Focus Areas: Integrating oral and primary care medical delivery systems for underserved communities; Programs to support oral health providers practicing in advanced roles specifically designed to improve oral health access in underserved communities; Practice support through tele-dentistry to improve access for underserved communities; Community-based prevention service programs for underserved populations, such as water fluoridation and dental sealant programs; Programs to establish or expand oral health services and facilities in Dental HPSAs, such as the establishment or expansion of community-based dental facilities, free-standing dental clinics, school-linked dental facilities, and mobile or portable dental clinics; and Grants and low-interest or no-interest loans to help dentists who participate in the Medicaid program to enhance capacity, such as through equipment purchases or the sharing of overhead costs to allow for additional hours of operation.</Description>

        <Description>This program announcement is for projects to be conducted for a two-year period with an anticipated start date of September 1, 2016 unless otherwise directed. Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education and federally funded educational institutions such as the Naval Postgraduate School. The purpose of the NOAA Research to Operations (R2O) Initiative is to expand and accelerate critical weather forecasting research to operations to address growing service demands and increase the accuracy of weather forecasts. This will be achieved through: (1) accelerated development and implementation of improved global weather prediction models, and inclusion of the coupling of atmosphere, ocean, wave, land surface and ice system components; (2) improved data assimilation techniques; (3) nested regional prediction capabilities; (4) improved hurricane and tropical cyclone modeling techniques; (5) improved ensemble techniques; (6) post-processing forecast tools and techniques; and (7) improved software architecture and system engineering. The NOAA R2O Initiative is soliciting proposals for projects involving applied science, modeling and/or data assimilation that support development of the Next Generation Global Prediction System (NGGPS) at global and regional scales. The NOAA R2O Initiative is also soliciting proposals for the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP) initiative to engage and coordinate hurricane research required to improve operational hurricane forecasts to meet societal requirements to effectively mitigate economic disruption. This notice provides guidelines for submission of proposals. This notice also describes opportunities and application procedures to demonstrate capabilities that have the potential to be incorporated into operational NWS numerical weather prediction (NWP) analyses and forecasts. The R2O initiative addresses NOAA&amp;apos;s Weather Ready Nation (WRN) strategic goal and supporting objectives. The Program also represents an NOAA/NWS effort to foster a cost-effective transition from basic and applied research to operations and services through collaborative research and developmental testing between institutions which have expertise in the environmental sciences and operational forecast scientists. These activities will engage researchers in applied research of interest with the operational meteorological community and will improve the accuracy of forecasts and warnings of environmental hazards by applying scientific knowledge and information to operational products and services. </Description>

        <Description>This program announcement is for projects to be conducted for a two-year period with an anticipated start date of September 1, 2016 unless otherwise directed. All public or private sources may submit to this Federal Funding Opportunity; however, partnering with universities is highly encouraged. Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education; other nonprofits; commercial organizations; state, local and Indian tribal governments; and Federal agencies. Applicants for this opportunity must work in partnership with NOAA testbeds and proving grounds (listed under www.testbeds.noaa.gov). NOAA&amp;apos;s testbeds and proving grounds facilitate the orderly transition of research capabilities to operational implementation through development testing in testbeds, and pre-deployment testing and operational readiness/suitability evaluation in operational proving grounds. The purpose of the NOAA Research to Operations (R2O) Initiative is to expand and accelerate critical weather forecasting research to operations to address growing service demands and increase the accuracy of weather forecasts. This will be achieved through: (1) accelerated development and implementation of improved global weather prediction models and inclusion of the coupling among atmosphere, ocean, wave, land surface and ice system components; (2) improved data assimilation techniques; (3) nested regional prediction capabilities; (4) improved hurricane and tropical cyclone modeling techniques; (5) improved ensemble techniques; (6) post-processing forecast tools and techniques; and (7) improved software architecture and system engineering. The NOAA R2O Initiative is soliciting proposals for projects involving applied science, modeling and/or data assimilation that supports development of effective assimilation for environmental observations at global and regional scales, and hurricane and other high-impact weather forecast models that meet societal requirements to effectively mitigate economic disruption. This notice provides guidelines for submission of proposals. This notice also describes opportunities and application procedures to demonstrate capabilities that have the potential to be incorporated into operational NWS numerical weather prediction (NWP) analyses and forecasts. The R2O initiative addresses NOAA&amp;apos;s Weather Ready Nation (WRN) strategic goal and supporting objectives. The Program also represents an NOAA/NWS effort to foster a cost-effective transition from basic and applied research to operations and services through collaborative research and developmental testing between institutions which have expertise in the environmental sciences and operational forecast scientists. These activities will engage researchers in applied research of interest with the operational meteorological community and will improve the accuracy of forecasts and warnings of environmental hazards by applying scientific knowledge and information to operational products and services. </Description>

        <Description>The costs of concentrate management of a conventional Reverse Osmosis (RO) facility are up to 50% of the capital requirements and operation expenses. These costs are primarily associated with mitigating the environmental impacts of the concentrate. Research to validate the viability of halophyte farming for concentrate management - including addressing ground water protection and long-term crop production efficacy &amp;#8211; is necessary to analyze the feasibility are necessary. - are part of the proposed research. The purpose of this project is to collect additional data to analyze the feasibility of growing Atriplex sp. seedlings for farming, revegetation and restoration projects. This project will also afford the opportunity to advance the state of knowledge in reducing the environmental impacts of OM concentrates, including the recovery and use of salts or other materials contained in the reject stream, salinity modeling, and toxicity analysis of the concentrate discharges into the environment. The project will all analyze the carbon sequestration potential of halophyte farming as compared to other CM options.</Description>

        <Description>The CDC Epilepsy Program is announcing a new, FY16 non-research FOAs designed to improve health and quality of life for people with epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures that can be caused by many different conditions that affect a person&amp;#8217;s brain. In the US, about 2.9 million people have active epilepsy (physician-diagnosed epilepsy either currently under treatment or accompanied by 1 or more seizures in the past year). People with epilepsy are likely to have multiple chronic conditions and live in households at lowest income levels. They are also significantly more likely to report being disabled and having lower health-related quality of life. Epilepsy results in an estimated $15.5 billion in medical costs and lost or reduced earnings and productivity annually.Only 57.7% of adults aged 18 years and older with epilepsy and uncontrolled seizures received appropriate medical care (saw a neurologist or epilepsy specialist) in 2010. These findings from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey suggest that many people are not receiving the right kind of care for this complex condition. Delayed recognition of seizures and inadequate treatment increase a person&amp;#8217;s risk of subsequent seizures, brain damage, injuries, disability, and early death.Although epilepsy is widely recognized by the public, it is poorly understood, even among people who know someone with the disorder. While negative stereotypes about epilepsy have decreased over past decades, CDC studies have found that the public continues to be unfamiliar with appropriate seizure first-aid, and report risk and safety concerns regarding being around a person with epilepsy. Public misunderstanding and stigma marginalize people with epilepsy, limiting their life opportunities and social contributions.In 2012, the Institute of Medicine released its report, Epilepsy across the Spectrum: Promoting Health and Understanding. The report describes the current gaps, challenges, and opportunities for public health to address epilepsy, and suggests 13 recommendations for action. CDC has a key role in 12 of these, including improving health professionals&amp;#8217; education about epilepsy, improving the delivery and coordination of community services, informing media to improve awareness and eliminate stigma, and improving and expand educational opportunities for people with epilepsy and their families.Based upon the Program&amp;#8217;s goals, the IOM recommendations on epilepsy, and the input of more than a dozen stakeholder groups during the FOA stakeholder engagement process, the new FOA will support three core public health functions applied to epilepsy: workforce competency; mobilizing community partnerships and actions, and educating and empowering people about epilepsy. These complementary activities will aim to have the following long term goals: - Increase the number of people with epilepsy who get appropriate and timely medical care. - Improve social participation (such as employment and school attendance) among people with epilepsy. - Decrease public stigma of epilepsy. - Improve health and quality of life of people with epilepsy.</Description>

        <Description>The Administration for Community Living (ACL) was established in April 2012 to serve older adults and people with disabilities across their lifespan as they fully engage and participate in their communities, make informed decisions, and exercise self-determination and control about their independence, well-being, and health. ACL&amp;#8217;s mission is to enable people with disabilities across their lifespans to live in the community through the availability of, and access to, high-quality long-term services and supports, including supports for families and caregivers. An estimated 2 million persons live with limb loss/difference in the United States[1]. Each year an estimated 185,000 amputations are performed in the United States[2]. PWLL experience many barriers to successful community reintegration and full participation in social life. PWLL perceive a reduction in their participation in recreational activities, satisfaction at work and feel more impaired in their ability to navigate their community following the amputation of their limb[3]. Additionally, PWLL often experience anxiety and psychological distress[4], low rates of workforce re-entry[5], environmental barriers[6], and secondary co-morbidities associated with the amputation of a limb (e.g. back pain, arthritis)[7]. Furthermore, individuals with limb loss report receiving little information about their rehabilitation from their healthcare provider either before or after their amputation[8]. Finding and accessing the right long-term services and supports can be a daunting task for individuals living with limb loss and their families. Individuals trying to access information on limb loss frequently find themselves confronted with a bewildering maze of organizations and scientific jargon at a time when they are the most vulnerable or in crisis. This often results in individuals and families making decisions based on incomplete, and sometimes inaccurate, information about their options. The lack of current high quality information makes it difficult for individuals to make informed decisions about both their present and their future well-being, which may result in frustration, inappropriate care or equipment, negative health impacts and increased costs. This situation becomes worse as the number of people living with limb loss increases. Through this funding opportunity announcement, ACL plans to award one (1) Cooperative Agreement for a National Limb Loss Resource Center to ensure the availability of, and access to, the most comprehensive, high quality information and supports for people of all ages living with limb loss, their families and caregivers. As the number of individuals that experience limb loss increases and the cost of healthcare rises, it is important to ensure that individuals affected have access to the most current, relevant information so that they can make informed choices regarding their physical and emotional health, and overall quality of life.

        <Description>Understanding and optimizing the use of constructed wetlands as an environmental buffer for the purposes of potable reuse was identified in the 2011 Texas Water Reuse Research Agenda as among the most pressing research needs for water reuse in Texas. A 2012 National Academy of Sciences report made a similar finding on a national scale. Concerns exist over the potential for endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) to adversely affect human health or ecosystems when treated wastewater is discharged into an environmental buffer and reused to help augment drinking water supplies. The Brazos Research Wetland will investigate whether an innovative constructed wetland design can attenuate or remove EDCs that may exist in treated wastewater effluent that will be recycled through an environmental buffer and used to augment drinking water supplies. The design of this wetland is innovative because of the unique combination and sequence of engineered surface and subsurface treatment zones, as well as passive aeration units that incorporate flowing cascades and turbulent stream channels. The Brazos Research Wetland is being constructed by the City of Waco, Texas (Waco) through local resources and through grant funding through the Texas Water Development Board. In 2014, Waco partnered with Reclamation, the United States Geological Survey, and Baylor University, to develop a peer-reviewed Hydrologic, Chemical, and Biological Monitoring Plan. This Plan established the monitoring protocols necessary to collect the performance data required to determine how well the research wetland meets the research objective of attenuating EDCs and endocrine disruption effects. Specifically outlined in the monitoring plan are tasks that require local resources and expertise that will be provided by Waco and Baylor University. This local support consists of daily, weekly, and monthly monitoring activities necessary to collect the performance data required. Partial funding for the monitoring would be provided through Reclamation&amp;#8217;s Science and Technology Program, and combined with in-kind support from each entity </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Emergency Medical Services for Children Targeted Issues Program. The Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) program works to ensure that critically ill and injured children receive optimal pediatric emergency care. The goal of the Targeted Issues Program is to support strategies to improve the quality of pediatric care delivered in emergency care settings across the continuum of emergency care through the implementation of pediatric emergency care research and innovative cross-cutting projects. Targeted Issues programs translate research into practice and improve pediatric health outcomes related to emergency care (e.g., reduced severity of asthma, decreased hospitalization for trauma). Examples of prior Targeted Issues awards are available at http://www.emscnrc.org/About_Us/Federal_EMSC_Program.aspx. Note that funding priorities and focus areas differed in prior years. Read this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) carefully for the current focus areas before completing the application. Investments under this FOA should advance EMSC Program mission, goals and performance measures.[1] [1] Information on the EMSC program is available at: http://mchb.hrsa.gov/programs/emergencymedical/.

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (NCTSI) &amp;#8211; Category III, Community Treatment and Services (CTS) centers grants. The purpose of this program is to provide and increase access to effective trauma-focused treatment and services systems in communities for children, adolescents, and their families who experience traumatic events throughout the nation. The overall goal of the program is to improve the quality of trauma treatment and services for children, adolescents, and their families who experience or witness traumatic events; and to increase access to effective trauma-focused treatment and services for children and adolescents throughout the nation. The work of this initiative is carried out by a national network of grantees &amp;#8211; the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) &amp;#8211; that works collaboratively to develop and promote effective trauma treatment, services, and other resources for children, adolescents, and families exposed to an array of traumatic events. The NCTSN members collaborate with one another, and partner with systems of care where children, adolescents, and families who have experienced trauma receive services in their communities. The NCTSI program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix F &amp;#8211; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) Children of deployed military personnel have more school-, family-, and peer-related emotional difficulties in comparison to national samples. Therefore, SAMHSA has identified military families as a priority population under this funding opportunity. For more background information on NCTSI please refer to Appendix V of the FOA. The Category III CTS grants are one of SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s services grant programs. SAMHSA intends for its services grants to result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the sixth month of the project at the latest. The Category III CTS grants are authorized under section 582 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD. </Description>

        <Description>The goal of this Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) is to strengthen the public&amp;#8217;s and/or K-12 students&amp;#8217; environmental literacy to enable informed decision-making necessary for community resilience to extreme weather events and other environmental hazards. Many U.S. communities are contending with issues related to preventing, withstanding, and recovering from disruptions caused by environmental threats and vulnerabilities (U.S. Department of Commerce FY2014-FY2018 Strategic Plan). These threats and vulnerabilities include but are not limited to severe storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, heavy precipitation events, persistent drought, heat waves, increased global temperatures, acidification of the ocean, and sea level rise (Weather-ready Nation: NOAA&amp;#8217;s National Weather Service Strategic Plan 2011; The Third National Climate Assessment, 2014). Preparing for and responding effectively to present and future environmental challenges enhances the resilience of communities. Projects should build the environmental literacy necessary for community resilience by focusing on geographic awareness and an understanding of Earth systems and the threats and vulnerabilities that are associated with a community&amp;#8217;s location. In order for communities to become more resilient, their members must have the ability to reason about the ways that human and natural systems function and interact; to understand the scientific process and uncertainty; to reason about the ways that people and places are connected to each other across time and space; and to weigh the potential impacts of their decisions systematically. Projects will be based on the established scientific evidence about current and future natural hazards and stresses facing communities and consider socio-economic and ecological factors. Projects should also (1) leverage and incorporate relevant state and local hazard mitigation and/or adaptation plans and (2) collaborate with institutions that are involved in efforts to develop or implement those plans. Projects may focus on a single type of environmental hazard or a range of hazards that may impact a community or communities. NOAA will consider funding a wide range of project types, but all projects must actively engage participants in learning and addressing real-world issues. In addition, projects must utilize NOAA&amp;#8217;s vast scientific data, data access tools, data visualizations, and/or other physical and intellectual assets available on these topics. In order to facilitate the use of NOAA&amp;#8217;s assets, projects are strongly encouraged to partner with relevant NOAA entities (offices, programs, etc.) and/or NOAA employees and affiliates. NOAA&amp;apos;s education website (www.education.noaa.gov) and an additional list of relevant assets (http://www.oesd.noaa.gov/grants/resilience_assets.html) provide links to NOAA datasets, potential NOAA partners, and other resilience-related assets from federal and non-federal organizations. Projects must be implemented within the United States and its territories. They may be implemented on local to regional scales. Project topics must relate to NOAA&amp;apos;s mission in the areas of ocean, coastal, Great Lakes, weather, and climate sciences and stewardship and should focus on one or more of the goals of NOAA&amp;apos;s Next Generation Strategic Plan (http://www.ppi.noaa.gov/goals/): healthy oceans; weather-ready nation; climate adaptation and mitigation; and resilient coastal communities and economies. Eligible applicants for this funding opportunity are limited to institutions of higher education; other nonprofits, including informal education institutions such as museums, zoos, and aquariums; K-12 public and independent schools and school systems; and state, local and Indian tribal governments in the United States. For-profit organizations, foreign institutions, and individuals are not eligible to apply. Proposed projects must be between 2 and 5 years in duration and have total federal requests of $250,000 to $500,000 for all years of the project. It is anticipated that awards funded under this announcement during this fiscal year will be made by September 30, 2016 and that the projects funded under this announcement will have a start date no earlier than October 1, 2016. Note: Links to helpful information for applying to this opportunity are available at http://www.oesd.noaa.gov/grants/elg.html#page=funding. </Description>

        <Description>Project description: This is a continuation of research to gather baseline information that will help support the creation of the roads and trails management plan for the park, which is currently underway. This research is intended to inform and guide NPS managers in providing sustainable trail use in the park. Also, this study will provide subject matter expertise within the fields of outdoor recreation and recreation ecology. A recent study conducted by Kansas State University at Ozark National Scenic Riverways involving horseback riding use in the park, revealed the need to continue and expand this research. This study will provide a more comprehensive picture of trail use for horseback riders and hikers, as well gauging the perceptions of trail users related to possible management actions. Data collected from these surveys will inform the Roads and Trails Plan. Park visitors will benefit from an improved trails system to more fully experience the recreational opportunities at Ozark National Scenic Riverways. NPS staff will collaborate with university researchers by: &amp;#8226; Jointly participating in developing, reviewing and modifying project proposals, survey instruments, data, and or reports. &amp;#8226; Ensuring compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and/or the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as well as in obtaining any necessary permits prior to project activity. &amp;#8226; Incorporating project findings into National Park Service operations and planning efforts. &amp;#8226; If available, the NPS may provide in-kind support The Recipient is a member of the (Great Plains CESU) who was awarded a Master Cooperative Agreement (P11AC91316) allowing (Kansas State University) to participate in specific tasks, and can provide the necessary activities involved in this particular task while providing an effective outcome for NPS and the objectives of this research/educational project. </Description>

        <Description>In December 2011, Mr. Jake Schweitzer, on behalf of Vollmar Natural Lands Consulting, Inc. (VNLC), submitted a proposal under the Central Valley Project Conservation Program and Central Valley Project Improvement Act Habitat Restoration Program (CVPCP/HRP) Fiscal Year 2012 Funding Opportunity Application No. R12AF20001 titled Captive Propagation and Reintroduction of Large-flowered Fiddleneck (Amsinckia grandiflora) in Contra Costa and San Joaquin Counties, California. In the proposal, VNLC requested funding to reintroduce the federally endangered Large-flowered Fiddleneck (AMGR) at up to 10 suitable sites in its known historic and current range. The critically endangered species is currently presumed extant at only two locations, both in western San Joaquin County, and stochastic events could lead to the species extirpation in the wild. The proposal was reviewed by the CVPCP/HRP Application Review Committee (aka &amp;#8220;Technical Team&amp;#8221;), which ranked it as the highest of the captive propagation proposals submitted. The project was initially awarded $198,381 and modified to add $49,975 shortly thereafter to provide a total of $248,356 in 2012 under financial assistance agreement R12AP20026. Originally planned to be five years (i.e., 60 months) in duration, the project has since been divided into two phases due to significant delays in implementation from the severe and continuing drought in California. To avoid exceeding a five-year grant performance period, R12AP20026 was modified once more in 2015 as &amp;#8220;Phase 1 &amp;#8211; Implementation&amp;#8221; to alter and add tasks, change the schedule, and revise the budget with a cumulative addition of $28,674 for a new total award amount of $277,030. Phase 1, 40 months in duration, incorporated the study, analysis, and reintroduction objectives and addresses project implementation. The next &amp;#8220;Phase 2 &amp;#8211; Monitoring&amp;#8221; of the project is 33 months in duration, and involves the continuation and completion of the monitoring, management, and reporting objectives of the AMGR reintroduction project. Because the drought forced a 12-month delay in planting and the development of irrigation alternatives, the project implementation and monitoring would exceed the five-year grant duration. Thus, the drought-caused planting delay accounts for the purpose and need of Phase 2, as well as the 73-month combined time frame of Phases 1 and 2, to continue and complete the AMGR reintroduction project. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT VNLC&amp;#8217;s activities to be funded through Phase 2 of the AMGR reintroduction project are summarized in the following objectives. Earlier project objectives that were completed by VNLC in Phase 1 are indicated in gray font below: Objective 1: Review Existing Information Objective 2: Convene and Consult with Technical Advisory Group (TAG) Objective 3: Conduct Remote and Field Analyses of Known Occurrence Sites Objective 4: Identify &amp;#8216;High&amp;#8217; Suitability Sites and Conduct Site Surveys Objective 5: Delineate, Prepare, and Plant Re-introduction Sites Objective 6: Install and Monitor Partial Fencing at Nine Reintroduction Sites Objective 7: Implement Irrigation of Reintroduction Plots Objective 8: Conduct Annual Monitoring and Management of Re-Introduction Sites Objective 9: Prepare Interim Reports and Final Reports RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring financial status and project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. Additional monitoring activities may include site visits, conference calls, and other on-site and off-site monitoring activities. Continuation Justification Description: The activities to be funded in Phase 2 are necessary for the satisfactory completion of the AMGR reintroduction project, and are a continuation of VNLC&amp;#8217;s activities presently being funded under Phase 1, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity and completion of the project. VNLC and their team possess all of the permits required to propagate, reintroduce, and monitor the federally listed species. Furthermore, all of the AMGR reintroduction site landowners are acquainted w/VNLC and have allowed them entrance to their property and have signed participation agreements with VNLC for this project. This continuity of relationships is essential for garnering and maintaining trust to reintroduce endangered species onto private property as well as for continued monitoring and management of the reintroduction sites. The AMGR reintroduction sites occur in remote locations on extremely steep, often rocky and erosive slopes. Many of the sites are best accessed via the use of all-terrain vehicles, which are owned and operated by VNLC. As the grant recipient of Phase 1, VNLC is familiar with all of the reintroduction sites and employs appropriate safety and training precautions to access and work at the sites. The continued involvement of VNLC in the monitoring, management and reporting objectives of Phase 2 is crucial to the successful completion of the AMGR reintroduction project. This species is notable for its highly specialized biology and unique ecological niche. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the species, as gained through experimentation and other direct experiences as well as extensive literature review, is essential for its successful reintroduction. The methods for monitoring and management of the reintroduction sites have been developed and refined by VNLC in Phase 1 to suit the particular needs of the species. Management of the reintroduced populations involves irrigation and vegetation management, including thatch control and specialized weeding. These efforts represent on-going experiments that require an intimate knowledge of the species&amp;#8217; requirements and of the micro-habitat conditions within each reintroduction site, gained during Phase 1 by VNLC. The knowledge accumulated by VNLC throughout the duration of the project from these experiments and other direct experiences will be compiled in the final report. The report will serve as an important reference for AMGR reintroduction efforts. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this project will be to collect surrogate measurements coincident with definitive (physical) measurement of sediment flux in an ephemeral channel that will help establish a relationship between surrogate data and sediment flux. The research will make a determination of what surrogate measurements need to be collected in order to develop a relationship between surrogate data and definitive sediment flux. The larger context of this research project reflects the fact that ungagged ephemeral tributaries present a challenging situation for estimating sediment delivery during a storm event. If a relationship between surrogate data and definitive sediment flux can indeed be developed, then practitioners may have a means to estimate bed load using relatively inexpensive surrogate data collection techniques. The current research site is the Arroyo de los Pi&amp;#241;os, which is on the western side of the Rio Grande, across the river from Socorro, NM.</Description>

        <Description>The US Fish and Wildlife Service&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Ash Meadows Fish Conservation Facility (FCF) was designed to replicate the natural conditions occurring in Devils Hole. The 100,000 gallon tank contains a reconstruction of the shallow shelf of Devils Hole, and the spatial orientation of the tank is similar to that of Devils Hole. Louvered shutters in the facility roof make it possible to control the solar exposure to match that of Devils Hole, and the water temperature and water chemistry in the refuge tank can be controlled by the facility&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s software system and mechanical room. The facility is currently operated to mimic the pre-development conditions of Devils Hole, but with the water temperature and oxygen levels providing a slightly friendlier environment for spawning and recruitment. The controls at the FCF are able to maintain specific physical and chemical parameters, and a recirculating system ensures that these conditions are uniform throughout the tank. The controls, however, do not replicate the movement and circulation of water seen in Devils Hole. In Devils Hole, this movement is caused by a number of factors, including wind and tidal influence, but the primary driver of circulation is thermal gradients in the water column. Using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package (FLUENT), Hausner et al. (2013) were able to simulate circulation in Devils Hole with an energy-driven model. In this project, I propose to create an analogous CFD model of the FCF tank and compare the circulation patterns in the FCF to simulations of natural circulation in Devils Hole. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for programs that will increase nonviolent civic engagement in the lead-up to the planned November 2016 elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). DRL&amp;#8217;s goal is to increase citizen participation, especially of youth and women, in the lead-up to the planned November 2016 elections, through targeted support to Congolese civil society organizations (CSOs), including church organizations. DRL seeks proposals for activities that may include, but are not limited to: 1) subgrants to and partnerships with key CSOs that have access to audiences in the Kivus, the Kasais, and the former Katanga province; 2) creating new or strengthening existing networks of like-minded CSOs to improve their communication and coordination around elections, including election observation, ideally at a national level; 3) innovative approaches to educating vulnerable populations about their rights as voters, and; 4) training on effective advocacy methods for improved outreach to the Congolese government (national and provincial).

        <Description>The Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) grant program provides funding for States to advance technological capability and promote the deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications for commercial vehicle operations (CVO), including commercial motor vehicle (CMV), commercial driver, and carrier-specific information systems and networks. These ITS/CVO applications include the real-time sharing of CMV safety data between FMCSA and CVISN States, online permitting and credential payment systems between States and motor carriers, electronic safety and credentialscreening of CMVs past weigh stations with the vehicles in motion, regional truck parking availability and reservation systems, and active work zone notification and routing systems for CMVs. On December 4, 2015, President Obama signed into law the Fixing America&amp;#8217;s Surface Transportation Act [FAST Act]), Pub. L. No. 114-94, which included additional language in section 5105 that affects the Fiscal Year 2016 CVISN Notice of Funding Availability. The language states, &amp;#8220;Funds deobligated by the Secretary from previous year grants shall not be counted toward the $2,500,000 maximum aggregate amount for core deployment&amp;#8221;. This provision allows those States that were previously awarded the full $2.5 million in Core funding, but had de-obligated a portion of that amount, the ability to re-apply for the unused balance. </Description>

        <Description>The costs of concentrate management of a conventional Reverse Osmosis (RO) facility are up to 50% of the capital requirements and operation expenses. These costs are primarily associated with mitigating the environmental impacts of the concentrate. Research to validate the viability of halophyte farming for concentrate management - including addressing ground water protection and long-term crop production efficacy &amp;#8211; is necessary to analyze the feasibility are necessary. - are part of the proposed research. The purpose of this project is to collect additional data to analyze the feasibility of growing Atriplex sp. seedlings for farming, revegetation and restoration projects. This project will also afford the opportunity to advance the state of knowledge in reducing the environmental impacts of OM concentrates, including the recovery and use of salts or other materials contained in the reject stream, salinity modeling, and toxicity analysis of the concentrate discharges into the environment. The project will all analyze the carbon sequestration potential of halophyte farming as compared to other CM options.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Tanzania suffers from an acute shortage of blood donors, and the current number of donations is estimated to be only about 20% of the World Health Organization&amp;#146;s (WHO) estimated minimum requirements for the country.  There are only three organizations with the capacity and infrastructure to collect blood for transfusions in Tanzania: The National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS), the Tanzanian People&amp;#146;s Defense Force (TPDF), and the Tanzania Red Cross Society (TRCS). The NBTS is a Tanzanian government agency established with CDC funds through the support of Funding Opportunity Announcement 04077 in 2004.  Since that time, CDC has supported NBTS and secured them technical assistance to prepare the agency to meet the nation&amp;#146;s blood supply needs.  CDC currently provides 80% of the budget for this Tanzanian government agency through flat funding with the remaining 20% supplied by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. The Tanzanian People&amp;#146;s Defense Force is the national military whose narrow blood collection efforts are funded through a sub-grant from NBTS. TPDF collections are limited solely to donor recruitment among the small population of their own service members.  Therefore the only eligible organization who can supplement and coordinate technical assistance for the blood collection efforts of NBTS using existing infrastructure is the Tanzania Red Cross Society.     In March 2010, as part of their HHS/CDC funded cooperative agreement, NBTS established a five year plan including national blood collection targets. Despite considerable efforts on the part of NBTS, they have missed their blood collection milestones to date. Tanzania&amp;#146;s national safe blood unit needs are too heavy a burden for NBTS to achieve with its current resources and organizational capacity.  NBTS requires supplementary collection efforts and technical assistance to catch up to their five year plan collection goals by 2015. Because NBTS is already two years into their plan, urgent supplementary efforts leveraging existing blood collection infrastructure are necessary.  As described above, TRCS is the only non-governmental organization possessing this existing blood collection infrastructure.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Flex Rural Veterans Health Access Program (RVHAP). A key component of the RVHAP is to facilitate coordination by the Secretary of Health and Human Services with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as required in Section 1820 (g)(6)(C) of the Social Security Act. RVHAP grant funds are to be used to increase the delivery of mental health services or other health care services for veterans living in rural areas through the use of health information technology. For the purposes of this FOA, grant funds can be used for two primary focus areas: Telehealth Networks (RVHAP-TH): providing clinical services to rural veterans from more distant clinicians including both direct interactive tele-consultations and store-and-forward applications of telehealth service; and/or; Health Information Exchange Networks (RVHAP-HIE): activities to support the transfer of clinical information for veterans in rural areas to other providers both within VA and its electronic health record system and private providers who are involved in their care with the goal of improving care coordination for the rural veteran. RVHAP goals are as follows: To utilize telehealth and health information technology to enhance access and quality of mental health service and other healthcare services to veterans residing in rural areas. These services include crisis intervention, detection of post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other signature injuries which meet the needs of rural veterans. The services provided with RVHAP grant funds are in conjunction with veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) initiatives; To utilize telehealth and health information technology, including electronic health records, to help improve care coordination for veterans who are seen by both the Department of Veterans Affairs and private health care providers through the sharing of clinical information that is compatible with VA privacy and security standards and uses established methods of health information exchange (HIE) currently in use by VA; To expand existing networks to provide access to mental health and other services to rural veterans via partnerships with other healthcare entities such as: critical access hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers, rural health clinics, State hospital associations, home health agencies, mental health service providers, pharmacists, local Government agencies, private practice physicians, and other providers who demonstrate the ability to provide access to health care services to rural veterans;</Description>

        <Description>In Fiscal Year 2016, the NOAA Office of Education (OEd) Educational Partnership Program (EPP) with Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) solicits applications from eligible, accredited MSIs that confer a doctoral degree in one of the areas of the NOAA mission identified as a Cooperative Science Center (CSC) Type in this announcement. The MSI designation is determined by statute, with the U.S. Department of Education serving as the cognizant Federal education agency. The U.S. Department of Education provides the following MSI information: (1) a part B institution (a historically Black college or university) (&amp;#167;322 of the HEA, 20 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1061); (2) a Hispanic-serving institution (&amp;#167;502 of the HEA, 20 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1101a); (3) a Tribal College or University (&amp;#167;316 of the HEA, 20 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1059c); (4) an Alaska Native-serving institution or a Native Hawaiian-serving institution (&amp;#167;317(b) of the HEA, 20 U.S.C. &amp;#167;1059d(b); (5) a Predominantly Black Institution (&amp;#167;&amp;#167;318(b) and 371(c)(9) of the HEA; 20 U.S.C. &amp;#167;&amp;#167; 1059e(b) and 1067q(c)(9)); (6) an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institution (&amp;#167;&amp;#167; 320(b) and 371(c)(2) of the HEA, 20 U.S.C. &amp;#167;&amp;#167;1059g(b) and 1067q(c)(2); or (7) a Native American-serving nontribal institution (&amp;#167;&amp;#167;319(b) and 371(c)(8) of the HEA; 20 U.S.C. &amp;#167;&amp;#167; 1059f(b) and 1067q(c)(8). This Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) plans to support four awards to establish CSCs at MSIs through NOAA cooperative agreements. CSCs are designed to create collaborative partnerships with other academic institutions, including MSIs. Partnerships are also required between the designated Center, OEd EPP/MSI, and NOAA&amp;apos;s &amp;#8220;Line Offices&amp;#8221; listed at http://www.noaa.gov/organizations.html. Each CSC must conduct education and research that directly supports NOAA&amp;apos;s mission to recruit, train and graduate students, particularly from underrepresented communities, for the agency mission workforce. The applicant shall propose to establish a CSC in one (1) of the following areas, also known as Center Type: (i) Atmospheric Sciences and Meteorology; (ii) Coastal and Marine Ecosystems; (iii) Earth System Sciences and Remote Sensing Technologies; and, (iv) Living Marine Resources Applicants are required to seek partners with other academic institutions, NOAA and its affiliates, as well as, public and private entities, in fields that support the NOAA mission. Potential NOAA Partners will be listed on www.epp.noaa.gov. CSC award recipients of this Federal Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education workforce investment are expected to ensure that the Center educate and graduate an increased diverse pool of candidates from which the agency may select its future workforce. NOAA plans to make four awards with an anticipated total funding of $62 million over five years. Proposed Centers should be for five (5) years in duration and have annual budgets of approximately $3.1 million, with a total Federal funding request of $15.5 million over the duration of the five-year project period. Awards will be funded in annual increments, subject to Congressional appropriations for OEd EPP/MSI. It is anticipated that awards funded through this announcement will have a start date no later than September 1, 2016. </Description>

        <Description>NOAA delivers funding and technical expertise to restore Great Lakes coastal habitats. These habitats support valuable fisheries and other resources; improve water quality; provide recreational opportunities for the public&amp;apos;s use and enjoyment; and buffer our coastal communities from the impacts of changing lake levels. Projects funded through NOAA have strong on-the-ground habitat restoration components that provide social and economic benefits for people and their communities in addition to long-term ecological habitat improvements. Through this solicitation, NOAA seeks to openly compete funding available for multi-year Great Lakes regional habitat restoration partnerships (Partnerships). Partnerships will result in implementation of a wide-range of individual habitat restoration projects focused in U.S. Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOCs) (http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/aoc/) with funds provided by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Priority projects in AOCs have been identified and continue to be identified for GLRI funding each fiscal year. The Partnership should be flexible related to which AOCs they may work in, and be able to work with NOAA and other federal and state agencies to continue to identify and implement priority projects in targeted AOCs. The Partnership will also need to be able to implement a variety of project types that will contribute to the removal of habitat related Beneficial Use Impairments contributing to delisting of targeted AOCs. This document describes the types of habitat restoration Partnerships that NOAA envisions establishing, explains the qualities that NOAA deems desirable in such Partnerships, and describes criteria under which applications will be evaluated for funding consideration. Partnership applications selected through this announcement will be implemented through a multi-year cooperative agreement, and will ultimately involve joint selection of habitat restoration projects. Awards will be dependent upon the amount of funds made available to NOAA for this purpose by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). See http://greatlakesrestoration.us/. Funding of approximately $5,000,000 is expected to be available to establish habitat restoration Partnerships in 2016, with annual funding anticipated to maintain them for up to three years. Individual awards are anticipated to range between $1,000,000 and $40,000,000 in federal funds for the entire three-year partnership. Typical Partnership awards are expected to range from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 per year. Voluntary cost sharing will be considered in project evaluation as described in Section V.A.4. Funding will support both engineering and design projects and on the ground implementation projects. Funds will be administered by NOAA&amp;apos;s Restoration Center (RC) Great Lakes Region. This is not a request for individual habitat restoration project proposals. </Description>

        <Description>The National Institutes of Health (NIH) invites applications for institutional research capacity building programs from entities/institutions in Institutional Development Award (IDeA)-eligible States that propose to support a team of experts to engage and implement pediatric clinical trials. The program aims to provide research infrastructure as well as supervised professional development in research and clinical trial implementation to assist institutions in IDeA-eligible States in establishing and maintaining pediatric clinical trial teams. The institutions that successfully compete to become an IDeA State pediatric clinical trials site will be integrated with a Data Coordinating and Operations Center (DCOC) to form a research network to conduct multicenter study of pediatric conditions and disease processes. The proposed activities will provide the infrastructure and resources needed to initiate and participate in pediatric clinical trials and that will enhance the competitiveness of the investigators to obtain additional funding for pediatric clinical research. The IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network is being created to investigate all diseases and conditions relevant to the pediatric population, but priority will be given to the four focus areas of the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program which include: 1) upper and lower airway disease; 2) obesity; 3) pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes; and 4) neurodevelopment.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is soliciting applications to support existing cohorts to address how pre-, peri-, and post-natal environmental exposures impact childhood development and health outcomes as part of the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program. Increasing evidence suggests that exposures early in life (e.g. nicotine, diet, microbiome) can result in health deficits and lead to life-long consequences. The purpose of this FOA is to leverage and build upon existing cohort infrastructure to prospectively investigate the role of early life exposures and underlying biological mechanisms in childhood health and disease. This FOA runs in parallel with companion FOAs that solicit applications for the Coordinating Center (RFA-OD-16-006), Data Analysis Center (RFA-OD-16-005), Patient/Person Reported Outcomes Core (RFA-OD-16-003), Administrative Supplements to the Children&amp;apos;s Health Exposure Analysis Resource (PA-16-046), IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (RFA-OD-16-002 and RFA-OD-16-001), and a Genetics Core to be released in FY17. Funding for an exploratory UG3 phase will be used for planning, feasibility testing, and developing study documents, including the study protocol and Manual of Procedures. UG3 projects that have met milestones will be administratively considered for transition to the UH3 implementation phase. Applicants responding to this FOA must address objectives for both the UG3 and UH3 phases. </Description>

        <Description>Purpose of FOA: The purpose of the FOA is to fund an organization with extensive experience developing and supporting syndromic surveillance practice to develop, implement and maintain a community of practice for CDC&amp;#8217;s National Syndromic Surveillance Program. Overview:Syndromic surveillance emphasizes the use of near &amp;#8216;real-time&amp;#8217; pre-diagnostic data, and statistical tools to detect and characterize unusual activity for further public health investigation or response. In 2015, CDC issued CDC-RFA-OE15-1502: The National Syndromic Surveillance Program: Enhancing Syndromic Surveillance Capacity and Practice to fund about 25 health departments to elevate and strengthen the overall science and practice of syndromic surveillance. The purpose of NSSP is to strengthen the practice of syndromic surveillance at local and state public health agencies and to support the use of syndromic surveillance data for regional and national situation awareness. The purpose of this new FOA is to fund an organization to support the development, implementation, promotion, and ongoing maintenance of the NSSP Community of Practice (NSSP CoP). The purpose of the NSSP CoP is to promote the use and practice of syndromic surveillance among a broad range of public health practitioners and stakeholders interested in sharing knowledge to advance and improve syndromic surveillance use and practices. The NSSP CoP will focus on providing a peer-to-peer collaborative environment to foster and facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration. Working together through the NSSP CoP will allow CDC to leverage the talents of a broad range of public health practitioners and stakeholders to enhance the nation&amp;#8217;s electronic surveillance capacity. Grantee Activities:Collaborate with CDC to develop a variety of forums and strategies for members of the NSSP CoP to connect with one another to problem solve; share information, tools, resources, and experiences; discuss developments related to syndromic surveillance; identify and document best practices; establish peer-to-peer networks; and map knowledge and identify gaps.Develop and maintain a content management system and knowledge repository.Develop and deliver a variety of synchronous and asynchronous training and knowledge sharing events and activities.Establish a steering committee to lead and guide the CoP.Develop a process for peer-to-peer mentoring and coaching.Identify methods to share success stories and measure the value and success of the CoP. Eligibility: Organizations with more than a decade of experience in advancing the science and practice of syndromic surveillance and managing a distributed community of practice. Organizational Capacity: Must demonstrate experience supporting and developing a community of practice for syndromic surveillance with a focus on practical applications rather than academic theories. </Description>

Applications will not be accepted for consideration for organizations other than the following seven Smart City Challenge Finalists: &amp;#8226; City of Austin, TX&amp;#8226; City of Columbus, OH&amp;#8226; City and County of Denver, CO&amp;#8226; City of Kansas City, MO&amp;#8226; City of Pittsburgh, PA&amp;#8226; City of Portland, OR&amp;#8226; San Francisco Municipal Transportation AgencyThe United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) is encouraging cities to put forward their best and most creative ideas for innovatively addressing the challenges they are facing. The vision of the Smart City Challenge is to demonstrate and evaluate a holistic, integrated approach to improving surface transportation performance within a city and integrating this approach with other smart city domains such as public safety, public services, and energy. The USDOT intends for this challenge to address how emerging transportation data, technologies, and applications can not only be integrated with existing systems in a city to address transportation challenges, but used to spur reinvestment in underserved communities. The USDOT seeks bold and innovative ideas for proposed demonstrations to effectively test, evaluate, and demonstrate the significant benefits of smart city concepts.The USDOT will make an award of up to $40 Million for one city that can demonstrate how advanced data and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies and applications can be used to reduce congestion, keep travelers safe, use energy more efficiently, respond to climate change, both connect and create opportunities for underserved communities, and support economic vitality. The USDOT issued two separate solicitations to carry out this challenge. The first solicitation resulted in selection of seven Smart City Challenge Finalists who received funding to support concept development and planning activities. This follow-on second solicitation invites the Smart City Challenge Finalists to apply for funding to support implementation of their proposed demonstration.</Description>

        <Description>Background: The focus of this project support will be to improve the conditions of, and restore where possible, riparian areas on public lands in a prairie landscape. Projects may be extended to private lands as well where opportunities allow. In some places, changes to grazing management alone is not sufficient to affect a positive change in riparian areas that have been degraded by past, upstream or downstream management practices. This project may include construction of temporary or permanent exclosures, planting of native vegetation, and modification, or repair of old or defunct pits and reservoirs. This would complement current grazing practices and increases of pipelines for stock tanks that provide a reliable source of water for livestock while decreasing livestock presence and impact on other water developments and riparian areas. The project would improve habitat for wildlife, including BLM special status species, through stabilization, improvement, and restoration of habitat. Objectives: Stabilize riparian areas and improve conditions of degraded riparian areas to provide better quality habitat for wildlife. Actions will take place primarily on public lands, but may include private lands where landowner cooperation can be obtained. Public Benefit: This project will improve riparian conditions, habitats for wildlife, and may contribute to upland range health. Hunters and other users of wildlife resources will benefit from wildlife responses to improved habitat conditions.</Description>

        <Description>Lupus is a prototypical autoimmune disease with a wide spectrum of illness that can be limited to the skin or can affect almost any tissue and organ in the body and cause severe morbidity and premature mortality. While there are several forms of lupus, systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) is the most common and serious form of lupus and has a variety of clinical manifestations. SLE affects from 320,000 to 1.5 million Americans and has strong disparities in incidence and prevalence, affecting women far more than men and minorities more than whites. The causes of SLE are unknown but are believed to be linked to genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. Much of what is known about SLE comes from convenience samples and tertiary care centers that are not population-based and therefore biased toward the severe end of the disease spectrum. As a result there is a need for a basic epidemiologic understanding of SLE in order to understand the full clinical spectrum and population burden of the disease. The purpose of this funding announcement is to support a longitudinal study to follow an established population-based cohort with SLE to determine over time: 1) the treatment, health care access, and natural history (severity, morbidity, mortality, etc.) of lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus) and related outcomes; 2) factors (including genetic and other biological factors such as antibody levels) associated with outcomes of treatment, health care access and natural history; and 3) potential disparities and other factors associated with outcomes by categories of interest (e.g., gender and race/ethnic group).</Description>

        <Description>Security issues continue to prevent women&amp;#8217;s full participation in Afghan universities. Providing secure dormitory space for female students supports Afghanistan&amp;#8217;s national development goals of educating women and preparing them to serve in leadership positions. The Afghanistan Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) manages all public university dormitories in the country, including the women&amp;#8217;s dormitory in Kabul. The dormitory hosts approximately 1,400 women whose homes are far from Kabul. They are students at Kabul University, Kabul Polytechnic University, Kabul Education University, and Kabul Medical University. The MoHE provides the operation and maintenance services for the dormitory, and the U.S. Embassy has funded extra-curricular programming for the residents through a cooperative agreement since 2012. Many of the women housed in this dorm come from provinces where the quality of education is not as high as it is in Kabul, and they are likely to struggle academically and perform poorly in the examinations due to their limited educational opportunities and less developed computer skills. Cultural expectations compel these women to go to class but otherwise remain confined to the dormitory. Providing supplementary training within the dormitory setting encourages productive use of their leisure time, boosts their self-confidence, and improves academic performance. Skills learned through this cooperative agreement also make them better qualified to apply for professional positions in the workforce.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to support a Data Analysis Center (DAC) for the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program. The ECHO DAC will provide the data repository and the data analysis functions for all common ECHO activities. NIH is establishing the new ECHO program to investigate the longitudinal impact of prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal environmental exposures on pediatric health outcomes with high public health impact. To do so, NIH will support multiple synergistic, prospective longitudinal studies using extant cohorts that represent variable environmental exposures (e.g., physical, chemical, biological, behavioral, social). These studies will collaborate on standardization and collection of core data elements to answer research questions of how environmental exposures impact one or more of four key pediatric outcomes. The program will be overseen by a Steering Committee of Investigators and an NIH Program Director, and an External Scientific Board. A separate, but related research effort, will support an IDeA States National Pediatric Clinical Research Network to help address access gaps for rural children by leveraging the infrastructure at existing IDeA state centers. ECHO is being supported through 7 FOAs, including this FOA inviting applications for the ECHO Data Analysis Center. In addition, FOAs are being released to solicit applications to support new research questions for existing cohorts (Pediatric Cohorts), a Coordinating Center, a Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) Core, an IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Research Network Data Coordination and Operating Center, and IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Research Network Sites, as well as supplements to the Children&amp;apos;s Health Exposure Analysis Resource (CHEAR).</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to develop and test organizational and systems level interventions to determine how best to provide comprehensive, high quality, integrated, sustainable, cost-effective interventions to improve the health outcomes of people living with HIV (PLWH) with substance use disorders and other comorbid conditions. This FOA will support: 1) multidisciplinary research to enhance the adoption and integration of evidence-based screening and treatment of substance abuse in HIV centers and closely related medical settings; and 2) multidisciplinary research to increase the adoption and integration of effective HIV treatment (including adherence to antiretroviral therapy as well as linkage and long term retention in HIV care) in addiction treatment settings. In both HIV and addiction treatment settings, research to enhance the adoption and integration of treatment services for comorbid conditions (e.g. coinfections, psychiatric disorders) is encouraged. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Since the purpose of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Crisis Center Follow-Up program is to promote systematic follow-up of suicidal persons who call the NSPL network and those that are discharged from a partnering emergency department(s), SAMHSA is limiting eligibility to applicants that are members of the NSPL Crisis Center Network who provide 24-hour coverage and have an established partnership with an emergency department(s).      Crisis Centers that are members of the NSPL network have been specifically trained in the NSPL procedures for follow-up activities, imminent risk guidelines, and the NSPL risk assessment standards.  They are also the only Crisis Centers that are able to obtain the required consents from Lifeline callers for follow-up activities.  The limitations on eligibility are necessary to ensure that the infrastructure is in place to provide services to high-risk, high-priority, or underserved populations, and ensure relationships with state/local mental health systems are in place for Lifeline callers and individuals discharged from partnering emergency department(s) to receive follow-up and access to care within 48-hours of discharge.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services, is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Suicide Prevention Lifeline Crisis Center Follow-Up grants. The purpose of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Crisis Center Follow-Up program is to promote systematic follow-up of suicidal persons who call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL) network and those that are discharged from a partnering emergency department. For those at imminent risk for suicide, emergency intervention is frequently initiated. Research findings from the Veterans Health Administration (VA) and surveillance data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have demonstrated that the period after emergency interventions is one of heightened risk for suicide, with significant numbers of deaths occurring following discharge from either an emergency department or inpatient hospitalization. The Crisis Centers will follow-up with any individual at imminent risk of suicide within 48-hours of discharge from a partnering emergency department or who was referred from a crisis center to a partnering emergency department. This grant program continues to support SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Strategic Initiative through its focus on the prevention and reduction of mental illness and substance abuse across the lifespan, specifically around the reduction of suicide and suicidal behavior. This initiative supports implementation of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (NSSP), Goal 8, &amp;#8220;Promote suicide prevention as a core component of health care services.&amp;#8221; Specifically, this FOA supports the following objectives of the NSSP: &amp;#8226; Promote continuity of care and the safety and well-being of all patients treated for suicide risk in emergency departments. &amp;#8226; Coordinate services among suicide prevention and intervention programs, health care systems, and accredited local crisis centers. &amp;#8226; Develop collaborations between emergency departments and other health care providers to provide alternatives to emergency department care and hospitalization, when appropriate, and to promote rapid follow up after discharge. In FY 2015, on average, more than 120,000 calls were answered through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline each month. SAMHSA-funded hotline evaluations have shown that large numbers of callers have significant histories of suicidal ideation and attempts and that 43 percent of suicidal callers experienced some recurrence of suicidal ideation within several weeks after the call. The Suicide Prevention Lifeline Crisis Center Follow-Up program also seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix F &amp;#8211; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) The Suicide Prevention Lifeline Crisis Center Follow-up is one of SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s services grant programs. SAMHSA intends for its services grants to result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the fourth month of the project at the latest. Suicide Prevention Lifeline Crisis Center Follow-Up grants are authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Patient Reported Outcomes Research Resource Center Core (ECHO PRO Core). Working collaboratively with the other members of the ECHO Consortium and the Pediatric Patient Reported Outcomes in Chronic Diseases (PEPR) Consortium (see below), the ECHO PRO Core will conduct research (including development and validation of new instruments) and provide research services and resources to all ECHO Cohort Sites and Centers. The ECHO PRO Core will provide psychometric and medical expertise in the development, selection and use of PROs, child patient reported outcomes (cPROs), and proxy PROs for the evaluation of health and disease in children and other subjects being studied by the ECHO Cohort Sites. This FOA is one of seven companion FOAs that will establish the elements of the ECHO Consortium. Clinical Sites will collect clinical data and specimens from well-characterized participants. A Data Analysis Center (DAC) will oversee data standardization, integration, and storage, and will implement data sharing and computational tools for the integrated analysis of clinical and laboratory data. Overall coordination will be provided by an ECHO Coordinating Center (CC). Awardees will comprise the ECHO Consortium and must work collaboratively to plan and execute a large study to discover and characterize the impact of the environment on child health and disease. The product will be a publically available data resource that will enhance and accelerate subsequent mechanistic research on childhood diseases and conditions affected by environmental influences.</Description>

        <Description>The Ambassador&amp;#8217;s Special Self-Help (SSH) program is a grass-roots assistance program that allows U.S. embassies to respond quickly to local requests for small community-based development projects. The purpose of the Special Self-Help program is to fund grants for small development activities that generate public awareness of U.S. foreign assistance efforts but that fall outside the structure of established USAID projects. The program is intended to be flexible and allow the Ambassadors to respond quickly and directly to requests from local communities for assistance with small community projects that have immediate impact and further Mission policies and objectives. Equally important, the Special Self-Help program is structured to encourage communities to be self-reliant and undertake similar activities on their own in the future. All Special Self-Help projects are community-based, initiated locally, administered at the local level, and include significant community contributions in cash, labor or materials</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>1. Eligible ApplicantsApplicants who are eligible to apply as the Prime Recipient are U.S, international or national organizations, faith-based and community organizations, or educational institutions, who are able to respond both in writing and in person through oral applications. U.S. and non-US organizations may participate under this NFO.  However, under certain components in the Program Description, USAID requests that applicants identify local partners and local organizations that are currently operating in Kenya to implement activities under the objectives. The incorporation of Kenyan organizations into the overall technical approach will be evaluated.  USAID defines a local organization as one that: &amp;#8226; Is organized under the laws of the recipient country; &amp;#8226; Has its principal place of business in Kenya;&amp;#8226; Is majority-owned by individuals who are citizens or lawful permanent residents of the recipient country or is managed by the governing body, the majority of whose members are citizens or lawful permanent residents of Kenya; and&amp;#8226; Is not controlled by a foreign entity or by an individual or individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of Kenya. The term &amp;#8220;control&amp;#8221; or controlled by&amp;#8221; in the above definition means having a majority ownership or beneficially interest, or the power, either directly or indirectly, whether exercised or exercisable, to control the election, appointment, or tenure of the organization&amp;#8217;s managers or a majority of the organization&amp;#8217;s governing body by any means, e.g., ownership, contract, or operation of law.  The term &amp;#8220;Foreign Entity&amp;#8221; means an organization that fail to meet any part of the &amp;#8220;local organization&amp;#8221; definition.  USAID anticipates making one award to one prime offeror with sub-awardees as proposed in their application.Please refer to the individual components in the Program Description to determine eligibility for each of the four components of the program.USAID welcomes applications from organizations which have not previously received financial assistance from USAID. Applicants must have established financial management systems, monitoring and evaluation processes, internal control systems, and policies and procedures that comply with established U.S. Government standards, laws, and regulations. The successful applicant will be subject to a responsibility determination assessment by the Agreement Officer (AO).The Recipient must be a responsible entity. The AO may determine a pre-award survey isrequired and may conduct an examination that will determine whether the prospective recipient has the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills &amp;#8211; or ability to obtain them &amp;#8211; in order to achieve the objectives of the program and comply with the terms and conditions of the award.2. Other In order to maximize the number of competitive applications, exclusivity agreements between prime recipients and sub-awardees are not required, and in fact are discouraged. Sub-awardees must be allowed to be listed on multiple applications by multiple applicants as they choose. To be eligible for award of a Cooperative Agreement, in addition to other conditions of this NFO, organizations must have a politically neutral humanitarian mandate, a commitment to non-discrimination with respect to beneficiaries and adherence to equal opportunity employment practices. Non-discrimination includes equal treatment without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, and political affiliation.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The overall purpose of this funding is to: 1) decrease and prevent injury and violence related morbidity and mortality and 2) increase sustainability of injury prevention programs and practices. This will be achieved through support to State Health Departments (SHDs) in the implementation, evaluation and dissemination of programs, practices, and policies with the best available evidence (see Glossary for best available evidence definition). Strategies that address injury and violence prevention (IVP) through the lens of shared risk and protective factors are encouraged to promote maximum impact of limited resources. Required strategies will align with NCIPC priorities related to child abuse and neglect, traumatic brain injury (TBI), motor vehicle crash injury and death, and intimate partner/sexual violence.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to examine seek, test, treat and retain approaches among youth and young adults (ages 13-25) who are at high risk for HIV acquisition or have already acquired HIV. Applications should incorporate substance use into study aims; objectives should address substance use prevention, screening, and/or treatment in ways that facilitate use of HIV prevention and treatment services. Youth are the target of this RFA because they demonstrate lower levels of screening and engagement across the HIV continuum of care and HIV+ youth are less likely to achieve viral suppression than those at older ages. These disparities are evident in US and foreign populations. The developmental, structural, and systemic factors related to serving youth need to be clearly incorporated into study aims, rather than simple incremental refocusing of existing interventions to younger people. Both domestic and international projects will be supported </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports planning, design and initial pilots for locally relevant and catalytic research on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or injury in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).Research addressing multiple NCDs and their risk factors and research addressing NCDs as comorbidities for/with infectious diseases including HIV/AIDS is encouraged. Scientists in the United States (U.S.) or upper middle income countries (UMICs) are eligible to partner with scientists in LMIC institutions. Income categories used are defined by the World Bank at http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups. Pilot activities and research are expected to inform the development of more comprehensive research programs that contribute to the long-term goals of building sustainable research capacity in LMICs to address NCDs and injury throughout life and to lead to diagnostics, prevention, treatment and implementation strategies. The proposed work may also contribute to developing a base for research networking and evidence-based policy beyond the specific research project.For applications on any research topic related to the brain, nervous system, mental health and substance abuse please see the companion FOA: PAR-14-331 Global brain and nervous system disorders research across the lifespan (R21).Applications on those topics are not appropriate for this FOA.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Integrated HIV Planning Implementation cooperative agreement. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide technical assistance to RWHAP Parts A and B recipients and their planning bodies to support activities and strategies for integrating HIV planning across prevention and care and treatment service delivery systems, and to support activities related to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)/Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plan submissions. The geographic range of the activities is nationwide. In collaboration with HRSA and CDC, the funded entity will provide technical assistance to accomplish four main objectives: To develop review tools and processes for the Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plans, including the Statewide Coordinated Statement of Need; To develop strategies, tools, and trainings for RWHAP recipients and planning bodies to identify and support activities to integrate planning across prevention and care and treatment service delivery systems; To deliver targeted technical assistance in a select number of jurisdictions to facilitate integrated planning; To support peer learning opportunities across RWHAP recipients and planning bodies. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) encourage RWHAP and HIV prevention program recipients at the local and state levels to integrate planning activities; such activities encompass joint comprehensive needs assessment, information and data sharing, cross representation on prevention and care planning bodies, coordinated/combined projects, combined meetings, and fully merged planning bodies. Overall, planning groups are encouraged to streamline their approaches to HIV planning. Effective planning is imperative for effective local and state decision making to develop systems of prevention and care that are responsive to the needs of persons at risk for HIV infection and people living with HIV (PLWH). Activities to collaborate are supported by HRSA and CDC and are a necessity in the development of an integrated plan. Community engagement is an essential component for planning comprehensive, effective HIV prevention and care programs. This cooperative agreement will assist HRSA RWHAP and CDC HIV prevention program recipients to move forward with these efforts.</Description>

        <Description>The Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950 (Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act), 64 Stat. 430 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 777-777m, was passed on August 9, 1950. It was modeled after the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to create a parallel program for management conservation, and restoration of fishery resources. The Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program (SFR) is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, flies and artificial baits, who pay an excise tax on these items to the U.S. Treasury. An amendment in 1984 (Wallop-Breaux Amendment) added new provisions to the Act by extending the excise tax to previously untaxed items of sport fishing equipment. SFR provides funding to restore, conserve, manage, or enhance sport fish populations and the public use and benefits from these resources; and to provide boating access to public waters. Additional information about SFR is on the internet at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SFR/SFR.htm.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) in persons diagnosed with acute or early HIV infection. We propose a prospective study of innovative approaches for initiating ART in persons diagnosed with acute or early HIV infection within days of their diagnosis. The primary outcomes of interest will be time to viral suppression and the proportion of patients who remain virally suppressed 12 months after diagnosis. Additional outcomes may include retention in HIV care, patient satisfaction with clinical care, changes in HIV transmission risk behavior, an evaluation of laboratory markers of viral suppression, and other outcomes as determined by patient input and the study investigators. </Description>

        <Description>The OREI seeks to solve critical organic agriculture issues, priorities, or problems through the integration of research, education, and extension activities. The purpose of this program is to fund projects that will enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards to grow and market high quality organic agricultural products. Priority concerns include biological, physical, and social sciences, including economics. The OREI is particularly interested in projects that emphasize research, education and outreach that assist farmers and ranchers with whole farm planning by delivering practical research-based information. Projects should plan to deliver applied production information to producers. Fieldwork must be done on certified organic land or on land in transition to organic certification, as appropriate to project goals and objectives. Refer to the USDA National Organic Program (http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop) for organic production standards. Visit the NIFA website to access a factsheet on the Center of Excellence (COE) designation process, including COE criteria, and a list of programs offering COE opportunities in fiscal year 2016. You can also review a recording of COE outreach webinars held in February and March of 2015 from the site. The COE webpages will be updated throughout FY 2016 with additional information, such as a summary of comments received from stakeholders.</Description>

        <Description>The Landmarks of American History and Culture program supports a series of one-week workshops for K-12 educators. NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops use historic sites to address central themes and issues in American history, government, literature, art, music, and related subjects in the humanities. Each workshop is offered twice during the summer. Workshops accommodate thirty-six school teachers (NEH Summer Scholars) at each one-week session. At least one workshop week must serve a national audience and provide housing for participants. The other workshop week may also serve a national audience; alternatively, it may limit its audience to participants who are able to commute and do not require housing. The goals of the workshops are to &amp;#8226; increase knowledge and appreciation of subjects, ideas, and places significant to American history and culture through humanities reading and site study; &amp;#8226; build communities of inquiry and provide models of civility and of excellent scholarship and teaching; &amp;#8226; provide teachers with expertise in the use and interpretation of historical sites and of material and archival resources; and &amp;#8226; foster interaction between K-12 educators and scholarly experts. NEH Landmarks Workshops are academically rigorous and focus on primary sources and scholarly works relevant to major themes of American history and culture. Leading scholars should serve as lecturers or session leaders. Workshops should also enable participants to work with primary documents and develop a project. NEH Landmarks Workshops are held at or near sites important to American history and culture, such as presidential residences or libraries; colonial-era settlements; major battlefields; historic districts; parks and preserves; sites of key economic, social, political, and constitutional developments; and places associated with major writers, artists, and musicians. Applicants should make a compelling case for the historical significance of the site(s), the material resources available for use, and the ways in which the site(s) will enhance the workshop. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support pilot, feasibility or exploratory research in 5 priority areas in substance use epidemiology and health services, including: 1) responses to sudden and severe emerging drug issues (e.g. the ability to look into a large and sudden spike in synthetic cannabinoid use/overdoses in a particular community); 2) responses to emerging marijuana trends and topics related to the shifting policy landscape; 3) responses to unexpected and time-sensitive prescription drug abuse research opportunities (e.g.,new state or local efforts); 4) responses to unexpected and time-sensitive medical system issues (e.g. opportunities to understand addiction services in the evolving health care system); and 5) responses to unexpected and time-sensitive criminal or juvenile justice opportunities (e.g. new system and/or structural level changes) that relate to drug abuse and access and provision of health care service. It should be clear that the knowledge gained from the proposed study is time-sensitive and that an expedited rapid review and funding are required in order for the scientific question to be answered.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the early-stage development of technologies that improve the quality of the samples used for cancer research or clinical care. This includes innovative technologies that address issues related to pre-analytical degradation of targeted analytes during the collection, processing, handling, and storage of cancer-relevant biospecimens. The overall goal is to support the development of highly innovative technologies capable of maximizing or otherwise interrogating the quality and utility of biological samples used for downstream analyses. This FOA will support the development of tools, devices, instrumentation, and associated methods to assess sample quality, preserve/protect sample integrity, and establish verification criteria for quality assessment/quality control and handling under diverse conditions. These technologies are expected to potentially accelerate and/or enhance research in cancer biology, early detection, screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and cancer health disparities, by reducing pre-analytical variations that affect biospecimen sample quality.</Description>

        <Description>With a ceiling of US $32 million over a five-year period, the planned &amp;#8220;Defeat Malaria&amp;#8221; activity will support the national goal of controlling artemisinin-resistant malaria and ultimately eliminating malaria in Burma. This new investment will expand current coverage of community-based prevention and case management services from one million to three million people, giving priority to highly endemic and hard-to-reach areas, mobile and migrant populations, and Non-State Actor areas. &amp;#8220;Defeat Malaria&amp;#8221; will strengthen the capacity of local stakeholders, from national to peripheral level, to lead, manage and implement interventions to reduce the malaria burden towards the goal of elimination. This activity will also strengthen the malaria surveillance system to better inform response and control strategies, and promote the involvement of communities and the private sector in control initiatives.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to improve the development and validation of molecular diagnostics for the treatment, control, or prevention of cancer. This FOA includes, but is not limited to, the validation of prognostic, predictive or response markers for treatment and markers for cancer control or prevention trials. Applicants should have an assay that has essentially completed analytical validation in human samples and whose importance is well justified for development into a clinical assay. Analytical validation of assays for these markers should be sufficiently advanced when the application is submitted so that clinical validation may be achieved with little further analytical validation needed. Revisions may support acquisition of specimens from retrospective or prospective studies from NCI-supported or other clinical trials. Clinical laboratory staff, technical and other needs must be an integral part of the application. Assays proposed for this FOA may be used to validate existing assays for use in other cancer clinical trials, observational studies or populations. Projects proposed for this FOA require multi-disciplinary interaction and collaboration among scientific investigators, clinicians, statisticians and clinical laboratory scientists and staff. This FOA is not intended to support trials that assess the clinical utility of a marker/assay but is intended to develop assays to the point where their clinical utility could be assessed in other trials.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications for collaborative R01 projects from multi-disciplinary teams to expand, improve, or transform the utility of mammalian cancer and tumor models for translational research.This FOA replaces PAR-14-240 &amp;quot;Collaborative Research Projects to Enhance Applicability of Mouse Models for Translational Research (Collaborative R01)&amp;quot;.This FOA continues the goals of PAR-14-240, except that these goals are no longer limited to mouse models but are expanded to cover any mammalian cancer models.For a linked set of collaborative R01s, each site has its own Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s), and the program provides a mechanism for cross-site coordination and communication.Collaborative studies are appropriate to address research questions beyond the capacity of a single-site investigation, particularly to accommodate collaborations among sites with diverse expertise, perspectives, and contributions.</Description>

        <Description>Arthritis affects 52.5 million adults and is the most common cause of disability in the United States, yet it is relatively understudied given its large burden, especially in the African American population. Osteoarthritis of the hip and knee are the most common causes of arthritis disability. As OA continues to grow in prevalence and burden, much more remains to be learned from a public health perspective about its incidence, prevalence, progression, and the factors associated with each. This need has been described in documents such as the 1999 National Arthritis Action Plan - A Public Health Strategy, and is a priority for the CDC Arthritis Program. The need is also documented in the recommendations of the 2010 National Public Health Agenda for Osteoarthritis.The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement is to support a population-based longitudinal study, which is designed to: (1) refine population-based estimates of the prevalence, incidence, and progression of hip and knee osteoarthritis and related outcomes; (2) gather information on and investigate possible factors (both risk and protective, including other chronic conditions) associated with the above outcomes; and (3) determine racial or ethnic differences in outcomes and in the role of comorbid conditions and the effect of risk factors upon osteoarthritis outcomes.</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to support applied research that advances the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention&amp;apos;s Zero Suicide goal of preventing suicide events (attempts, deaths) among individuals receiving treatment within health care systems. Zero Suicide is a commitment to the prevention of suicide among individuals served by health care systems and is also a specific set of health care strategies and tools intended to eliminate suicide events.Research is needed to implement effective and comprehensive suicide prevention strategies in a variety of settings, including behavioral health and substance abuse outpatient clinics, emergency departments and crisis care programs and centers, hospitals, and integrated primary care programs.To achieve the aspirational goal of zero suicide events within healthcare settings, research is needed to improve health care approaches for the following: systematic approaches to suicide risk detection (acute or long term); appropriate risk documentation and follow-up care that is practical and effective; interventions earlier in the course of suicide risk trajectories that reduce incident suicide events in care systems; identification of effective service delivery components that work as safety nets to prevent suicidal events; and identification of service delivery policies and practices that support and maintain Zero Suicide goals and reduce suicide events.</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages applications that propose to develop studies that will lead to a broad understanding of the natural history of disorders that already do or could potentially benefit from early identification by newborn screening. A comprehensive understanding of the natural history of a disorder has been identified as a necessary element to facilitate appropriate interventions for infants identified by newborn screening. By defining the sequence and timing of the onset of symptoms and complications of a disorder, a valuable resource will be developed for the field.In addition, for some disorders, specific genotype-phenotype correlations may allow prediction of the clinical course, and for other disorders, identification of modifying genetic, epigenetic, or environmental factors will enhance an understanding of the clinical outcomes for an individual with such a condition. Comprehensive data on natural history will facilitate the field&amp;apos;s ability to: 1) accurately diagnose the disorder; 2) understand the genetic and clinical heterogeneity and phenotypic expression of the disorder; 3) identify underlying mechanisms related to basic defects; 4) potentially prevent, manage, and treat symptoms and complications of the disorder; and 5) provide children and their families with needed support and predictive information about the disorder. </Description>

        <Description>The HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to be a major global health problem. Despite significantly accelerated implementation of effective prevention and treatment tools to address HIV and AIDS, over 2 million new infections occurred in 2014. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the region most severely affected, bearing the burden of 66% of the HIV positive people in the world. In sub-Saharan Africa, nearly half of the 25.8 million people living with HIV are women. Given the scope of the epidemic, new biomedical tools to prevent HIV are essential. The most promising of these is a safe and effective HIV vaccine that provides durable protection, thus providing a realistic and cost-effective means of reversing HIV on a population level. It is highly unlikely that a global, sustainable solution to the AIDS pandemic will be economically or logistically feasible in the absence of a safe and effective HIV vaccine. Developing and delivering an AIDS vaccine for those most in need will represent a transformational scientific breakthrough and is in lock-step with USAID&amp;#8217;s commitment to high-impact development through innovation. Parallel to this noble scientific endeavor supported by USAID since 2001 are concerted efforts to enhance human resources and infrastructure, while creating and nurturing an enabling policy environment and key partnerships in low- and lower middle-income countries that contribute to sustained capacity for science, research and health systems strengthening in the regions most affected by HIV/AIDS. </Description>

        <Description>A central goal of the BRAIN Initiative is to understand how electrical and chemical signals code information in neural circuits and give rise to sensations, thoughts, emotions and actions. While currently available technologies can provide some understanding, they may not be sufficient to accomplish this goal. For example, non-invasive technologies are low resolution and/or provide indirect measures such as blood flow, which are imprecise; invasive technologies can provide information at the level of single neurons producing the fundamental biophysical signals, but they can only be applied to tens or hundreds of neurons, out of a total number in the human brain estimated at 85 billion. </Description>

        <Description>The MCH Navigator Program is designed to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and capacity of the MCH workforce through online continuing education tailored to meet the needs of emerging and practicing MCH professionals. This program supports HRSA Strategic Plan 2010-2015 goals to improve access to quality health care and services, strengthen the health workforce, and improve health equity. Federal, state, and local MCH agencies are tasked with improving the health of all U.S. women, children, and families. Accomplishing this requires resourceful and innovative leaders who can work across disciplines and across systems, particularly given the changes in our healthcare delivery system and today&amp;#8217;s environment of intractable health disparities. MCH professionals, including Title V Directors and staff, require access to continuous training in critical MCH topics and skills in order to most effectively implement Title V transformation and identified state workforce needs. The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) is committed to advancing the knowledge and skills of practicing MCH professionals. Current barriers to continuing education include ever-tightening travel restrictions, capacity shortages, difficulty in taking time away from work, and the cost of training. Distance learning education methodologies can address these barriers by providing effective and efficient means by which MCH professionals can practice and advance their analytic, managerial, and clinical skills while continuing to meet their daily on-site responsibilities.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate innovative hypothesis-driven research to enhance our understanding of the role of epigenomic or non-coding RNA regulatory mechanisms in HIV/AIDS infection or disease trajectory in combination with substance use or abuse. We are particularly interested in understanding regulatory mechanisms that influence selection and regulation of HIV sites of integration in the host genome. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms could lead to novel approaches for monitoring latent HIV in cellular reservoirs, especially in the central nervous system. Ultimately, research in this area could enable the identification of molecular targets that could be manipulated either to eliminate or permanently repress HIV in cellular reservoirs. </Description>

        <Description>Climate models vary in estimating the specific magnitude and spatial variation of anthropogenic climate change; however, considerable agreement exists amongst all models that hydrologic changes will be paramount in semi-arid regions of southwestern North America [Seager, 2007]. Limited knowledge exists regarding the characteristics of extreme flood regimes and how they relate to climate change. Our understanding of flood hazard is based upon flood magnitude-frequency curves derived from short gaged and historical records, limiting our knowledge of the risks associated with extreme flooding and how extreme floods will vary in magnitude and/or frequency with future climate change. In the southwestern U.S., the gaged and historical record rarely exceeds one hundred years; therefore, large floods are statistically under-represented (Thornycraft et al., 2003). Paleoflood studies produce flood chronologies that can be used to extend the record of extreme floods over hundreds to thousands of years, thereby improving flood-frequency analysis (e.g. Benito and Thornycraft, 2005; Harden, et al., 2015) and maximum flood discharge-drainage area relationships (Enzel et al., 1993). Subsequently, this improves overall flood hazard evaluations (House et al., 2002). The project will utilize paleoflood information to improve flood frequency relationships and to research the best methods to increase understanding of the relationship between extreme floods and climate change in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Methods including paleoflood field studies, geochronology lab analysis and flood frequency analysis will be used during the course of this research. </Description>

An organization that has received Challenge America grants in FY 2014, 2015, and 2016 may not apply for a Challenge America grant under these FY 2017 guidelines. Grant Program Description The Challenge America category offers support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations -- those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. Age alone (e.g., youth, seniors) does not qualify a group as underserved; at least one of the underserved characteristics noted above also must be present. Grants are available for professional arts programming and for projects that emphasize the potential of the arts in community development. This category encourages and supports the following objective: &amp;#8226; Engagement: Engaging the public with diverse and excellent art. </Description>

        <Description>The Arts Endowment&amp;#8217;s support of a project may begin any time between January 1, 2017, and January 1, 2018, and extend for up to two years. You may submit only one application per year. You may not apply for a Literature Fellowship (in poetry or prose) and a Translation Fellowship in the same year. Grant Program Description The National Endowment for the Arts&amp;#8217; Literature Fellowships program offers $25,000 grants in prose (fiction and creative nonfiction) and poetry to published creative writers that enable recipients to set aside time for writing, research, travel, and general career advancement. Applications are reviewed through an anonymous process in which the only criteria for review are artistic excellence and artistic merit. To review the applications, we assemble a different advisory panel every year, each diverse with regard to geography, race and ethnicity, and artistic points of view. The Literature Fellowships program operates on a two-year cycle with fellowships in prose and poetry available in alternating years. For FY 2017, which is covered by these guidelines, fellowships in poetry are available. Fellowships in prose (fiction and creative nonfiction) will be offered in FY 2018 and guidelines will be available in the winter of 2017. You may apply only once each year. Competition for fellowships is extremely rigorous. We typically receive more than 1,200 applications each year in this category and award fellowships to fewer than 5% of applicants. You should consider carefully whether your work will be competitive at the national level. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/.

        <Description>Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), Reclamation is forming partnerships with private industry, universities, water utilities, and others to address a broad range of desalting and water purification needs. Reclamation is interested in research where the benefits are widespread but where private-sector entities are not able to make the full investment and assume all the risks. Reclamation is also interested in research that has a national significance&amp;#8212;where the issues are of large-scale concern and the benefits accrue to a large sector of the public. This FOA is only for Research and Laboratory Studies. Research studies are typically bench scale studies involving small flow rates less than 2 gallons per minute. They are used to determine the viability of a novel process, new materials, or process modifications. Research at this stage often involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. Cost share is encouraged, but not required for institutions of higher education. Other applicants must provide at least 50 percent non-Federal cost-share.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: BLM recognizes the importance of vegetation management. Healthily functioning plant communities will maintain and enhance a sustainable level of social and economic benefits on public lands. Understanding the potential impacts on public lands plant communities, will help effectively manage resources and other activities so they improve conditions and help achieve objectives for BLM and potential partner. Botanical inventory and rare native plants monitoring is part of BLM&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s mission to maintain a continuing inventory of all resources and other values on public lands. Keeping inventory and monitoring current to reflect changes in conditions over time, may provide adaptive management implementation plans to resources. b. Objectives: The BLM seeks the opportunity to work with local communities, businesses, organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies that live, work and benefit in Arizona State for the purpose of: 1. To conserve natural resources 2. To conserve native species diversity and richness 3. To improve wildlife habitat 4. To increase landscape resiliency 5. To decrease high wildfire severity events 6. To connect with local communities to the environment through partnerships, education, outreach, support, and restoration activities. Developing a botanical inventory and monitoring process will provide streamlining data more efficiently. Updating native botanical plant list for each field office will provide better resource data and restoration projects. Identifying native plants and communities will provide better development projects for restoration and rehabilitation across the landscape. </Description>

        <Description>Terlingua Creek within Big Bend National Park is a perennial stream that provides habitat for nesting common black hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus) and yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus), and aquatic habitat for Mexican stoneroller (Campostoma ornatum) and roundnose minnow (Dionda episcopa). To enhance aquatic and riparian habitat and contribute to the resiliency of the river, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), Big Bend National Park, and other partners, are working together to promote healthy water and watersheds through reforestation within tributaries of the Big Bend reach. This will meet the overarching goal of increasing riparian habitat for species such as common black hawk, yellow-billed cuckoo, and potentially gray hawk (Buteo plagiatus). This will also increase resilience to climate change by promoting channel aggradation and increasing the depth and extent of the riparian aquifer. Riparian reforestation reduces sediment transport and can help decrease the sediment surplus that together with invasive plant species leads to increased channelization of the main channel of the Rio Grande. These activities will contribute to enhancing both riparian and aquatic habitat health, diversity, and resilience. PLEASE SEE FULL TEXT NOFO FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The Bureau of Land Management and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s Millennium Seed Bank originally participated in the Seeds of Success (SOS) program under terms of a cooperative agreement signed by both parties in 2000. Procedures for SOS are part of BLM&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s national Native Plant Materials Development Program. The purpose of SOS program in the United States is to establish a national, high quality, accurately identified and well documented native plant species seed collection. The national collection acts as a basis for off-site conservation and, where and when appropriate, can be used for study and multiplication in the native materials development program. b. Objectives: Seeds of Success are part of the National Native Plant Materials Development Program. Seeds collected will represent a genetic variation within the sampled population. The goal of the project is to provide wild native seed to researchers for common garden studies and native plant materials development projects for restoration and rehabilitation to ensure economical supply of native plant materials. The objectives are to follow the Seeds of Success Collections protocol, have completed the Seeds of Success comprehensive training, collect priority species, perform sampling strategy, perform seed collection techniques, provide voucher specimens, and complete field documentation. The BLM seeks the opportunity to work with local communities, businesses, organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies that live, work and benefit in Arizona State for the purpose of: 1. To conserve natural resources 2. To conserve native species diversity and richness 3. To improve wildlife habitat 4. To increase landscape resiliency 5. To decrease high wildfire severity events 6. To connect with local communities to the environment through partnerships, education, outreach, support, and restoration activities. </Description>

        <Description>An organization may submit only one application through one of the following FY 2017 categories: Art Works or Challenge America. An organization may submit one additional application under the Art Works category for a Creativity Connects project. The Arts Endowment&amp;apos;s support of a project may start on or after January 1, 2017. Generally, a period of performance of up to two years is allowed. Grant Program Description The guiding principle of &amp;quot;Art Works&amp;quot; is at the center of everything we do at the NEA. &amp;quot;Art Works&amp;quot; refers to three things: the works of art themselves, the ways art works on audiences, and the fact that art is work for the artists and arts professionals who make up the field. Art works by enhancing the value of individuals and communities, by connecting us to each other and to something greater than ourselves, and by empowering creativity and innovation in our society and economy. The arts exist for beauty itself, but they also are an inexhaustible source of meaning and inspiration. The NEA recognizes these catalytic effects of excellent art, and the key role that arts and design organizations play in revitalizing them. To deepen and extend the arts&amp;apos; value, including their ability to foster new connections and to exemplify creativity and innovation, we welcome projects that: &amp;#8226; Are likely to prove transformative with the potential for meaningful change, whether in the development or enhancement of new or existing art forms, new approaches to the creation or presentation of art, or new ways of engaging the public with art; &amp;#8226; Are distinctive, offering fresh insights and new value for their fields and/or the public through unconventional solutions; and &amp;#8226; Have the potential to be shared and/or emulated, or are likely to lead to other advances in the field. Beyond encouraging projects that demonstrate these characteristics, we want to achieve the following four objectives through the Art Works category: &amp;#8226; Creation: The creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence, &amp;#8226; Engagement: Public engagement with diverse and excellent art, &amp;#8226; Learning: Lifelong learning in the arts, and &amp;#8226; Livability: The strengthening of communities through the arts. </Description>

        <Description>The Earth System Modeling (ESM) Program in the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD), Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), supports research to develop and exercise innovative methods of representing and coupling components of the Earth&amp;#8217;s climate system, in order to provide a predictive capability to underpin the Nation&amp;#8217;s societal and energy planning. Innovative methods span a variety of topics, e.g., the development of increasingly complex representations of climate systems, coupling these with &amp;#8220;human&amp;#8221; systems and drivers as needed to improve climate simulation fidelity, and the application of next-generation computational methods to facilitate and to accelerate model computational performance on DOE&amp;#8217;s current and next-generation NERSC and Leadership Class Facility (LCF) computers. Toward these goals, the ESM Program recently launched a DOE-Laboratory-led project to develop the Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME). ACME aims to design and perform high-resolution climate simulations efficiently on LCF computers, in order to advance research on the coupled Earth system and to inform societal planning. The ACME model codes and outputs will be released regularly to the broader community. This FOA invites community input into ACME design and development, by soliciting applications that would develop and investigate the climate system in the following areas: atmospheric chemistry, convection, ocean biogeochemistry, tidal and estuary representations, representations of land disturbances, and improvements to particular system-coupling treatments.</Description>

        <Description>Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), Reclamation is forming partnerships with private industry, universities, water utilities, and others to address a broad range of desalting and water purification needs. The goal of DWPR is to reduce the costs and environmental impacts of treating impaired and unusable waters. This FOA is intended for pilot projects only. Pilot projects are typically preceded by research studies (funded previously by DWPR or others) that demonstrate that the technology works. They usually involve flow rates above 1 gallon per minute and are tested using natural water sources rather than synthetic or laboratory-made feed water. Pilot projects are used to determine the technical, practical, and economic ability of a process. Costs are developed for capital and operation and maintenance. Reclamation will cost-share up to $400,000 per agreement in the Pilot Project category. This is divided as follows: up to $200,000 for the first year for pilot plant design, construction and installation and up to $200,000 for an optional second year for testing, modification and evaluation. Second year funding is not guaranteed and it is dependent on congressional funding and adequate work completed in year one. </Description>

        <Description>The Arts Endowment&amp;apos;s support of a project may start on or after January 1, 2017. Generally, a period of performance of up to two years is allowed. The official applicant must be an arts organization. An organization may submit only one application for an Art Work: Creativity Connects grant. Grant Program Description Creativity Connects* is an initiative that will show how the arts are central to the country&amp;#8217;s creativity ecosystem, investigate how support systems for the arts have changed, explore how the arts connect with other industries, and invest in innovative projects to spark new ideas for the arts field. A key component to the Creativity Connects initiative is a pilot grant opportunity in the Art Works category to support partnerships between arts organizations and organizations from non-arts sectors that include, but are not limited to, business, education, environment, faith, finance, food, health, law, science, and technology. Art Works: Creativity Connects grants will seek to benefit the arts and non-arts sectors by: &amp;#8226; Demonstrating the value of working with the arts. &amp;#8226; Supporting the infrastructure for the arts to work in new ways with new sectors. &amp;#8226; Building bridges that create new relationships and constituencies. &amp;#8226; Creating innovative partnership projects to advance common goals. </Description>

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat. 917 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 669-669b, 669-669k, now known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 1938. The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The Congressional Resource Committee had broad support from sportsmen&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s organizations who stated that States were not using their possible allotments to support these programs or there was not a consistent level of effort to further the future of hunting. As a result, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;enhance&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; existing hunter education or shooting range programs. Additional information about Section 10 is available at: http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/HunterEd/HE.htm. </Description>

        <Description>The Environmental Studies Program (ESP) of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity to conduct research in topics that serve the public interest of safe and environmentally sound energy and mineral production on the nations outer continental shelf. The region of focus for BOEM is from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras, where renewable energy leasing is already underway. The telemetry network is also very robust in this area. BOEM will evaluate study proposals under this program to ensure that they not only meet BOEM&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s information needs but involve resource users, such as commercial fishermen, in the project design and/or project execution. Projects are intended to provide information and data that will support environmental impact assessments and consultations; inform resource management decisions and statutory consultations required under the Endangered Species Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act; and build trust in data for management decisions between BOEM, academic institutions, and fishery resources users. Generally, BOEM envisions project proposals that demonstrate an ability to characterize the benthic and oceanographic environment selected for the proposal and project proposals that will characterize fish utilization of the study site by use of acoustic transmitters attached to target fish species (those of important commercial value or protected under the Endangered Species Act). Study proposals may assess fish distribution, habitat use, and migration at fine resolutions such as around important habitat features within a wind energy area, and at larger resolutions such as occurrence across an entire wind energy area. Fishery resource users should be involved in the project where appropriate. There are several objectives that may be addressed through study proposals submitted under this broad announcement of financial assistance. Studies awarded under this program may address one or more of the following objectives: Collect data that will benefit consultations regarding environmental assessments of potential impacts from OCS leasing activities as well as improve data for the management of the species; Obtain information in order to assess impacts to commercially important and protected fish species in the mid-Atlantic and New York bights where offshore wind projects may occur; Support data management of acoustic telemetry networks; and Build upon baseline knowledge of fish use of proposed development sites. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this project is to evaluate whether bonytail (Gila elegans) and razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus) exposed to a fish alarm substance will elicit a fright reaction to predators. If predator na&amp;#239;ve hatchery fish can be trained to recognize and avoid predator dangers, post stocking mortalities attributed to predation may decrease. Previous training research has generally exposed prey fish to predators by using either models or predators in tanks adjacent to prey tanks. The goal here is to give prey species exposure to as many predator cues as possible, and thus the best method for predator exposure is a normally behaving predator in the same tank (and ultimately pond) as the prey species. This project will employ a unique technique using botulinum toxin to paralyze jaw-opening muscles in the predators.</Description>

        <Description>The DFC Program was created by the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-20). The DFC Support Program has two goals: 1. Establish and strengthen collaboration among communities, public and private non-profit agencies; as well as federal, state, local, and tribal governments to support the efforts of community coalitions working to prevent and reduce substance use among youth*. 2. Reduce substance use among youth and, over time, reduce substance abuse among adults by addressing the factors in a community that increase the risk of substance abuse and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance abuse. *For the purposes of this FOA, &amp;#8220;youth&amp;#8221; is defined as individuals 18 years of age and younger. </Description>

The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The Congressional Resource Committee had broad support from sportsmen&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s organizations who stated that States were not using their possible allotments to support these programs or there was not a consistent level of effort to further the future of hunting. As a result, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;enhance&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; existing hunter education or shooting range programs. Additional information about Section 10 is available at: http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/HunterEd/HE.htm. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this modification is update the submission deadline to 05:00 PM EDT on February 21, 2016. All other terms remain the same. DE-FOA-0001472: Request for Information: Energy Savings Prediction Methods for Residential Energy Efficiency Upgrades The United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE), Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Building Technologies Office (BTO) is seeking information from the public regarding methods to improve methodologies used to assess the energy savings resulting from energy efficiency upgrades. In particular, BTO is interested in the current state-of-the-art of savings prediction methods, forthcoming advances that could improve the accuracy and/or reduce the costs of prediction methods, and the potential market implications of improved savings prediction methods. At the same time, BTO is interested in the role of user-training, contractor certification, better in-field practices, and other factors to improve the accuracy of energy saving calculations. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on how to improve savings prediction methods for residential energy efficiency upgrades. BTO is interested in information on the current state-of-the-art of savings prediction methods, forthcoming advances that could improve the accuracy and/or reduce the costs of prediction methods, and the potential market implications of improved savings prediction methods. However, BTO is also interested in other factors that may influence the accuracy of modelled predictions such as improved field guidance, technician training and certification, or benchmarked models to a nationally accepted DOE prediction model such as EnergyPlus. In all cases, BTO is interested in likely costs incurred for each recommendation. Also, BTO is interested in developing alternative approaches that may now be possible with advancements in data collection and manipulation that could significantly reduce audit cost and homeowner inconvenience. Lastly, BTO is interested in the trade-off between cost and accuracy of all suggested approaches. This information will be used by BTO for strategic planning of the BTO research &amp;amp; development (R&amp;amp;D) portfolio. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications for research on this topic at this time. This RFI is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA); therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. All responses to this RFI must be provided as an attachment (Microsoft Word, .docx) to an e-mail message addressed to ResEnergySavingsRFI@ee.doe.gov. Responses must be received no later than 05:00 PM EDT on February 21, 2016. Only electronic responses will be accepted. </Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grants Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (States) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species of greatest conservation need and take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project. Additional information about the State Wildlife Grants Program is on the web at &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SWG/SWG.htm.

        <Description>NIST invites proposals from eligible organizations to provide in-depth collaborative support in developing and advancing stakeholder relationships that are critical to the success of the MEP program, based on the recipient&amp;#8217;s expertise and knowledge of State manufacturing and technology agendas. NIST MEP is a federal-state-industry partnership program. The MEP system of Centers and field offices throughout the U.S. provides a mechanism to integrate federal and state public policy goals, respond to market forces and address the needs of manufacturing sectors and of individual manufacturers. To make the most of this partnership, NIST MEP strives to balance the priorities of U.S. national policy with those of state partners to create a robust and effective program providing U.S. manufacturers with the tools they need to grow and remain globally competitive. Stakeholders include not only state-based partners but also sub-state partners that are based at the county, community, and city levels, as well as regional partners that extend beyond state boundary lines. </Description>

        <Description>As a steward of the Nation&amp;apos;s natural and cultural heritage, the primary responsibility of the NPS is to preserve and protect park resources and values. The NPS actively manages cultural resources in the national park system to meet its statutory responsibility to preserve these resources unimpaired for future generations. The National Park Service (NPS) conducts cultural resource stewardship largely at the park level. To carry out and further this stewardship responsibility, the Service implements programs that encompass a broad range of research, operational, and educational activities. The NPS conducts: &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Research to identify, evaluate, document, register, and establish basic information about cultural resources and traditionally associated peoples; &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Planning to ensure that management processes for making decisions and setting priorities integrate information about cultural resources, and provide for consultation and collaboration with outside entities; and &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; Stewardship to ensure that cultural resources are preserved and protected, receive appropriate treatments (including maintenance), and are made available for public understanding and enjoyment. This work is conducted at all units of the NPS and helps to perpetuate resources and allows for their continued appreciation, understanding, and enjoyment. The solicitation, award and administration of Cooperative Agreements is done on a project by project bases generally at the park level. Additionally, the National Park Service is authorized by Congress as the principal federal agency to lead the Nation&amp;apos;s efforts in historic preservation, providing for the identification, documentation, registration of, treatment of, and preservation planning for, the nation&amp;apos;s historic and cultural resources. The National Park Service is directed by Congress and the National Historic Preservation Act to administer programs and partnerships with State, Tribal, and Local governments and nonprofit organizations. </Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal.

        <Description>The FY17 JPC-2/MIDRP ARA seeks to fund applied research applications focused on the reduction of combat-related or trauma-induced wound infection morbidity and mortality. These projects are expected to inform and identify which potential health products, approaches, or technologies are best positioned for human testing. The intent of the FY17 JPC-2/MIDRP ARA is to support the following: &amp;#8226; Hypothesis-testing and/or proof-of-concept studies in in vitro and/or in vivo models; &amp;#8226; Refinement of concepts and ideas into potential solutions with a view toward evaluating technical feasibility of emerging approaches, technologies, and promising new products; &amp;#8226; Evaluation, maturation, and/or down-selection of potential product candidates (drugs, biologic/vaccine constructs, or devices/systems) in vitro and/or in vivo; and &amp;#8226; Completion of preclinical safety and/or toxicity studies sufficient to support Investigational New Drug/Investigational Device Exemption (IND/IDE) applications. Awards may support studies involving human subjects but not clinical trials. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking support for a clinical trial should apply to the FY17 JPC-2/MIDRP Clinical Studies Award (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-17-DMRDP-MID-CSA). Awards may not be used to support early-stage, fundamental basic research. Basic research is defined as research directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications toward process or products in mind. Applications must include preliminary and/or published data that is relevant to the award and the proposed research project. Investigators must demonstrate logical reasoning and a sound scientific rationale established through a critical review and analysis of the literature for the application to be competitive. Research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Partnering PI Option: The FY17 JPC-2/MIDRP ARA mechanism supports applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations. The Partnering PI Option under this mechanism is structured to accommodate up to three PIs who will each receive a separate award. One partner is identified as the Initiating PI and the other partner(s) as the Partnering PI(s). All investigators should collaborate in the development and submission of the proposed research project. It should be clear that each investigator has a significant level of intellectual input and brings complementary strengths to the project. Multidisciplinary and multi-organizational projects are allowed. If multi-organizational, all participating organizations must be willing to resolve potential intellectual and material property issues and remove any barriers that might interfere with successful completion of the research.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The CESU Lower Sonoran F.O. Remote Sensing Project will develop multi-spectral satellite image analysis and other remote sensing techniques for a variety of public land management issues in the Sonoran Desert, including the identification, measurement, and inventory of human impacts resulting from illegal immigration, drug smuggling, and recreation uses; spatial and temporal change in vegetation cover and composition; fuels analysis; atmospheric dust and pollution study; range monitoring; traffic ability; and other studies as identified. A primary task will be to assess the characteristics of commercially available satellite imagery and other remote sensing products and technology for usefulness in operational monitoring, including describing technical advantages and disadvantages, cost effectiveness, and suitability for various applications. The project will also provide opportunities for students and / or entry-level professionals to work with experienced professional land managers and scientists to obtain experience in complex public land management issues and the use of remote sensing for issues that are important to the BLM. The project will provide background experience by which students may make long-term career goals and decisions, and will enable continuing development between the recipient and the BLM in terms of student development, recruitment, and service opportunities between the two entities. The project will complement, and build upon, a similar project conducted by cooperative agreement with Northern Arizona University during 2010-2015 (FA # L10AC20359). b. Objectives: The project will develop research techniques that advance knowledge of impacts to the Sonoran Desert; provide inventory and monitoring data which can be analyzed to aid BLM management in identifying human impact use patterns and trends; and assist with resource management and planning. </Description>

        <Description>The Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950 (Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act), 64 Stat. 430 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 777-777m, was passed on August 9, 1950. It was modeled after the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to create a parallel program for management conservation, and restoration of fishery resources. The Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program (SFR) is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, flies and artificial baits, who pay an excise tax on these items to the U.S. Treasury. An amendment in 1984 (Wallop-Breaux Amendment) added new provisions to the Act by extending the excise tax to previously untaxed items of sport fishing equipment. SFR provides funding to restore, conserve, manage, or enhance sport fish populations and the public use and benefits from these resources; and to provide boating access to public waters. Additional information about SFR is on the internet at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SFR/SFR.htm.</Description>

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat. 917 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 669-669b, 669-669k, now known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 1938. The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The Congressional Resource Committee had broad support from sportsmen&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;s organizations who stated that States were not using their possible allotments to support these programs or there was not a consistent level of effort to further the future of hunting. As a result, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to &amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;enhance&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533;&amp;#65533; existing hunter education or shooting range programs. Additional information about Section 10 is available at: http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/HunterEd/HE.htm</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: BLM recognizes the importance of vegetation management and pollinator species. Over the past few decades, there has been an alarming loss of pollinators which affects the sustainability of food production and supply. In June of 2014, the President issued a Presidential Memorandum Creating a Federal Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators directing the Federal Government to use its research, land management, education, and public/private partnership capacities to broadly advance honey bee and other pollinator health and habitat. BLMs mission is to protect/ maintain/enhance and restore diverse vegetation communities across the landscape on public lands and seeks partner with the same mission. b. Objectives: The BLM seeks the opportunity to work with local communities, businesses, organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies that live, work and benefit in Arizona State for the purpose of: 1. To conserve natural resources 2. To conserve native species diversity and richness 3. To improve wildlife habitat 4. To increase landscape resiliency 5. To increase pollinator populations 6. To connect with local communities to the environment through partnerships, education, outreach, support, and restoration activities. Seed Collections: Increasing seed collections from native plants will be an effort to increase the supply of seeds for conservation and restoration. Wildlife habitats including pollinators are dependent on native plant species for survival. Seed Propagation and Research: Using collected native plant seeds for propagation to increase native plant materials for projects, restoration and research will establish a supply of native plant materials, maintain local genetic of native plants, and develop protocols for various native plant species. Habitat Restoration: Working with communities to establish partnerships and identifying areas that need restoration and habitat enhancement are a key to ecosystem resilience and integrity. Maintaining a healthy diverse ecosystem will sustain and provide ecosystem services, economies, and habitat for wildlife. Education: Developments of school partnerships and with communities are key component for knowledge and awareness of native plants and pollinators. Establishing interpretive pollinators gardens are a benefit to pollinators and can be used to education schools and the public. </Description>

        <Description>The Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950 (Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act), 64 Stat. 430 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 777-777m, was passed on August 9, 1950. It was modeled after the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to create a parallel program for management conservation, and restoration of fishery resources. The Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program (SFR) is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, flies and artificial baits, who pay an excise tax on these items to the U.S. Treasury. An amendment in 1984 (Wallop-Breaux Amendment) added new provisions to the Act by extending the excise tax to previously untaxed items of sport fishing equipment. SFR provides funding to restore, conserve, manage, or enhance sport fish populations and the public use and benefits from these resources; and to provide boating access to public waters. Additional information about SFR is on the internet at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SFR/SFR.htm.</Description>

Select &amp;#8220;Appendix B NNH15ZTT001N&amp;#8211;15PSI_B&amp;quot; under Announcement Documents. NASA plans to host a proposers&amp;#8217; conference via WebEx shortly after the release of the Appendix to provide more information and to answer questions about the NRA and the PSI system. NASA&amp;apos;s Physical Sciences Research Program conducts fundamental and applied physical sciences research, with the objective of enabling improved space systems and technological advances that support new products and other benefits on Earth. NASA&amp;apos;s experiments in the various disciplines of physical science reveal how physical systems respond to the near absence of gravity. They also reveal how other forces that on Earth are small, as compared to gravity, can dominate system behavior in space. The PSI system is an online database of science data from past and current physical science ISS flight experiments. It is designed as a tool for investigators to expand upon the valuable research performed on the ISS using it to further science in accordance with the open science approach, while also meeting the requirements of the President&amp;#8217;s Open Data Policy. This NRA solicits ground-based research proposals that present a compelling case on how the experimental data from the PSI system will be used to promote the advancement of further research. Proposers must show a clear path from the scientific data obtained from the PSI system to the proposed investigation. In addition, the project must address an important problem in the proposed area of research and advance scientific knowledge or technology. The main NRA will remain open for two years, with multiple opportunities to propose planned to be provided through a series of appendices (A, B, C, ...) This announcement is for the release of the second of the appendices, Appendix B, which solicits proposals in the five research areas for which experimental data will available in the PSI by the Appendix B proposal due date: Combustion Science, Complex Fluids, Fluid Physics, Fundamental Physics and Materials Science. The Appendix specifically solicits proposals that utilize data from eligible investigations in the PSI. The eligible investigations at the time of the release of this synopsis are provided in the paragraph below.

        <Description>The FY17 JPC-2/MIDRP CSA is intended to support military relevant early phase clinical trials and in vitro diagnostic medical device clinical investigations with the potential to have a major impact on the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and/or treatment of combat-related or trauma-induced wound infections. Early phase clinical trials and medical device testing supported by this award range from proof of concept (i.e., first in human or Phase 0) trials through Phase II clinical trials, as well as Class I, II, or III medical device testing. Phase III trials for FDA licensure of drugs or definitive testing for device or assay clearance by the FDA will NOT be permitted under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Proposed projects should be designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of novel therapies and diagnostics in human subjects or human clinical samples to accelerate their translation to clinical utility. Therefore, proposed projects should be focused on testing and translating investigational interventions or devices already proven in relevant definitive animal models and moving those interventions or devices into advanced clinical development. Funding from this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity must support a clinical trial or medical device testing and may not be used for preclinical research studies. For this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity, the term &amp;#8220;human subjects&amp;#8221; refers to individuals who will be recruited for or who will participate in the proposed clinical trial. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. A medical device testing is defined as clinical investigations of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices involving human specimens. IVD devices include assays, reagents, instruments, and systems for diagnostic or prognostic determination of the state of health, in order to prevent, screen, mitigate, and/or treat combat-related or trauma-induced wound infections and their sequelae. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking support for preclinical research studies should apply to the FY17 JPC-2/MIDRP Applied Research Award (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-17-DMRDP-MID-ARA). All of the following are important aspects of FY17 JPC-2/MIDRP CSA application submission: &amp;#8226; Include only one early-phase clinical trial (Phases 0, I, and II) or IVD diagnostic medical device testing (Classes I, II, and III) that begins no later than 12 months after the award date. &amp;#8226; Inclusion of preliminary data relevant to the proposed research project is required. Any unpublished preliminary data should originate from the laboratory of the PI(s), collaborator(s), or subawardee(s) named in the application. &amp;#8226; Demonstrate sound scientific rationale established through logical reasoning and critical review and analysis of the literature. &amp;#8226; Demonstrate and document availability of and access to the drug/compound, device, and/or other materials needed. Quality should be commensurate with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) manufacturing standards applicable to the type and phase of product being developed (i.e., Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and Quality System Regulation). &amp;#8226; Demonstrate and document availability of and access to a suitable human subject population and/or resources that will support a meaningful outcome for the clinical trial/testing. &amp;#8226; If applicable, include a discussion of how accrual goals will be achieved and how standards of care may impact the study population. &amp;#8226; Describe appropriate and clearly defined endpoints for the proposed clinical trial/ testing. &amp;#8226; Include a clearly articulated statistical analysis plan, as well as appropriate statistical expertise and a power analysis reflecting sample size projections that will clearly answer the objectives of the study. &amp;#8226; Discuss the potential impact of the study results on prevention, screening, diagnosis, and/or treatment of combat-related or trauma-induced wound infections. &amp;#8226; If applicable, include a study coordinator(s) who will guide the clinical protocol through the local Institutional Review Board (IRB) of record and other regulatory approval processes, coordinate activities from all sites participating in the trial, and coordinate human subject accrual. &amp;#8226; For studies determined to be greater than minimal risk to human subjects by the local IRB of record, an independent research monitor with expertise consistent with the nature of risk(s) must be identified within the research protocol. &amp;#8226; Demonstrate institutional support and access to institutional resources for all participating organizations. &amp;#8226; Include a Transition Plan that describes a clear path to further develop the research results, including a plan and potential funding source for the next phase of development after the successful completion of the proposed study. Partnering PI Option: The FY17 JPC-2/MIDRP CSA includes a Partnering PI Option structured to accommodate up to three PIs who will each receive a separate award. One partner is identified as the Initiating PI and the other partner(s) as the Partnering PI(s). All partners should collaborate in the development and submission of the proposed research project. It should be clear that each partner has a significant level of intellectual input and brings complementary strengths to the project. Multidisciplinary and multi-organizational projects are allowed. If multi-organizational, all participating organizations must be willing to resolve potential intellectual and material property issues and remove any barriers that might interfere with successful completion of the research. Multi-Institutional Clinical Trials/Testing: If the proposed research is multi-institutional, plans for communication and data transfer among the collaborating institutions, as well as how data, specimens, imaging products, and/or other materials obtained during the study will be handled, should be included in the appropriate sections of the application(s). A separate intellectual and material property plan agreed upon by all participating institutions is also required for multi-institutional clinical trials/testing.</Description>

        <Description>The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the President&amp;#8217;s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) are creating a new opportunity for more American youths to learn about and interact with spoken word poetry and poets. This request for proposals seeks an organizational partner to launch and direct the National Spoken Word Poetry Ambassadors Program. The program will further the mission of NEH&amp;#8217;s Common Good initiative to engage the humanities in the great questions that we face as a nation. It will also develop a group of young poets (students in grades 10-11): writers and leaders who will respond to these questions. The program will select poetry ambassadors who will bring the creation, appreciation, and experience of spoken word poetry to more young people throughout the country. Humanities scholars and educators will engage the work of these young poets; the scholars and educators will place the poets&amp;#8217; work in a broader literary, artistic, and historical context. The National Spoken Word Poetry Ambassadors Program will run parallel to the National Student Poets Program (NSPP) and will enhance its efforts to develop ambassadorial skills and local leadership among selected youth poets. The PCAH, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Alliance for Young Artists &amp;amp; Writers partnered in 2012 to create the NSPP, which for the past few years has offered the country&amp;#8217;s highest honor for young poets (students in grades 10&amp;#8211;11) presenting original work. The NSPP selects five students annually to serve for one year as literary ambassadors, each representing one of five different geographic regions (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and West) of the country. By elevating and showcasing their work for a national audience in dialogue with established poets, the program strives to inspire other young people to achieve excellence in their own creative and scholarly endeavors and to promote the essential role of writing and the arts in achieving academic and personal success. Building on the success of the NSPP, the National Spoken Word Poetry Ambassadors Program&amp;#8212;a joint effort of NEH and PCAH&amp;#8212;will select additional spoken word poets (one from each region) to create and perform their own poetry and to become spokespeople for the appreciation and use of poetry in American life. With the support and guidance of the awardee organization, poetry ambassadors will participate in at least three ambassadorial events in their region during their one-year term. These events should be occasions for considering a key humanistic topic. Topics might include those raised in NEH&amp;#8217;s new Common Good initiative, or comparably broad questions: for example, the experience of war, the relations of humans to one another or to the natural world, justice, citizenship, or the meaning of a good life. In these events the ambassadors will also collaborate with other writers or humanities educators to engage their audiences in reading poetry and discussing the craft and history of poetry. For example, a poetry ambassador might perform his or her poetry in conjunction with a curator&amp;#8217;s discussion of the links between poetry and painting. </Description>

        <Description>The Coastal Program is a voluntary, incentive-based program that provides technical and financial assistance to coastal communities and landowners to restore and protect fish and wildlife habitat on public and private lands. The Coastal Program is not a conventional grants program, in that it does not solicit projects through a request for proposals. Instead, projects are developed strategically, in coordination with partners, and with substantial involvement from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) field biologists. The Coastal Program - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding is available to coastal areas within the U.S. portion of the Great Lakes basin which includes parts of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Embassy Kingston Public Affairs Section is located at the U.S. Embassy in Jamaica. More information about the Public Affairs Section and its Grants Program can be found at: http:/kingston.usembassy.gov/. The U.S. Embassy is pleased to call for proposals for the 2016 U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP). The Fund was created by the U.S. Congress in 2001 and it aims to provide grant awards to preserve cultural heritage around the world, ranging from the renovation of historical monuments and restoration of artefacts to the documentation of traditional cultural expression. Since its inception, the AFCP has given out over U.S. $12 million to support almost 500 projects worldwide, illustrating the commitment of the United States to help people and nations around the world save and safeguard their deep-rich cultural traditions. In establishing the fund, the U.S. Congress noted, &amp;quot;Cultural preservation offers an opportunity to show a different American face to other countries, one that is non-commercial, non-political, and non-military. By taking a leading role in efforts to preserve cultural heritage, we show our respect for other cultures.&amp;quot; Jamaican institutions consistently over perform in this global funding competition: over the last decade, we have funded a half dozen projects on-island, totally over U.S. $160,000. For 2016, we are asking for proposals ranging from small grants &amp;#8211; US$10,000 to US$150,000 &amp;#8211; to large grants &amp;#8211; US$200,000 to US$500,000. Project proposals can range from one to three years. Past local grant-awards have been issued for several initiatives including the: &amp;#8226; Preservation of the Writings of Marcus Garvey - 2001 &amp;#8226; Preventative Conservation of Taino Amulets and Other Ethnographic Objects at the Institute of Jamaica - 2004 &amp;#8226; Conservation of the Collections of the National Gallery of Jamaica - 2006 &amp;#8226; Restoration of Five Historic Paintings in the National Gallery of Jamaica - 2008 &amp;#8226; Conservation of the Enos Nuttall Manuscripts Collection of the National Library of Jamaica - 2009 &amp;#8226; Preventive Conservation of the Collections of the National Museum of Jamaica - 2014 Purpose of Grant The objective if the AFCP grant award is to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives and demonstrate American leadership in the preservation and protection of cultural heritage around the world. In furtherance of this key objective, grant proposals for projects must meet one or more of the following criteria: i. Directly support U.S. treaty or bilateral agreement obligations, such as cultural property protection agreements; ii. Support the preservation of inscribed World Heritage sites; iii. Support risk reduction and disaster preparedness for cultural sites and collections in seismically active and other disaster-prone areas; and iv. Engage women, youth, or under-served communities. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are:  &amp;#8226; State governments through the immediate office of the Single State Authority (SSA); or Director of the Health Department (or equivalent agency) in the states, territories, and District of Columbia.  &amp;#8226; The highest ranking official and/or the duly authorized official of federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes and tribal organizations.    Tribal organization means the federally-recognized body of any AI/AN tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities.  Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval.  A single tribe in the consortium must be the legal applicant, the recipient of the award, and the entity legally responsible for satisfying the grant requirements.     These large scale SBIRT grants require the resources of state/tribal governments to implement SBIRT across entire states/tribes and territories, or portions thereof.  This program is designed to expand/enhance the state and tribal continuum of care for substance misuse services and reduce alcohol and drug consumption.  It also seeks to identify and sustain systems and policy changes to increase access to treatment in generalist and specialist settings, including greatly increasing the number of individuals accessing services through technological expansion.  Therefore, eligibility is limited to the immediate office of the Single State Authority (SSA) or director of the health department (or equivalent agency) in the states, territories, and District of Columbia; or the highest ranking official and/or the duly authorized official of a federally-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribe or tribal organization.    In an effort to increase geographic distribution, SAMHSA seeks to disseminate the SBIRT program widely and to locations which have not previously received an award.  Therefore, previous recipients under announcements TI-06-002, TI-08-001, TI-11-005 and TI-13-012 are not eligible to apply under this announcement.  (See Appendix V for current/former SBIRT grantees that are NOT eligible to apply).  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Strengthening Working Families Initiative (SWFI) grant program. On June 23, 2014, President Obama convened the White House Summit on Working Families, which was jointly hosted by the Department of Labor, Center for American Progress and the White House Council on Women and Girls. During the Summit, participants (including businesses, economists, labor leaders, legislators, advocates, the media and ordinary citizens) discussed issues that working families face. The Summit was the beginning of a larger conversation about the changes necessary in society, business policies, and in our laws to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to have a job and a family. Working parents, particularly those with low incomes and low skills, face significant barriers to employment. Six out of ten households with children have all parents working (married working or single working parents), increasing the need for affordable and quality child care. With more parents working, greater access to affordable, high-quality child care is needed but is difficult to find due to steadily increasing child care costs and relatively stagnant funding to cover the costs of child care. Even where affordable child care exists, parents have to deal with unpredictable situations where child care may be unavailable, such as when their child is sick, the child care provider is closed, they are attending professional development sessions, and other emergencies that may result in parents needing alternative solutions. Additionally, an increasing number of families have employers who shift the family member&amp;#8217;s work schedule with minimal notice, making stable child care harder to find. It can be difficult to handle these unexpected situations, particularly for low-wage workers who cannot afford to take unpaid leave and are less likely to have flexibility in the workplace. While training and education can help move parents into better paying jobs, some of the barriers to employment also serve as barriers to training and education. The lack of access to affordable and consistent child care can keep parents from attending training and educational programs. Of the 21 million low-income parents, only 1 in 10 participates in education and training. For those low-income parents participating in education and training, almost half were working at the same time, resulting in the additional burden of arranging for and paying the cost of child care while at work, while in training, and while commuting. As education and earnings are strongly linked, this FOA supports providing access to education and training to help move parents along a career pathway that will lead to better paying jobs. This FOA also encourages applicants to develop an approach that provides skills training leading to family-supporting jobs for low- to middle-skilled parents while simultaneously developing and implementing a plan for the applicant&amp;#8217;s community or region that helps families better navigate the existing complex systems of supportive services, including increased access to child care. To help meet these objectives, the Department is interested in supporting evidence-based strategies or innovations based on these models that remove a range of barriers to training, including child care and other needs that working families face, by investing in education and skills training in combination with customized participant supportive services. Of particular interest are new promising ideas developed through human centered design methodology and behavioral insight research. Program strategies must include moving lower- to middle-skilled individuals into middle- to high-skilled jobs, with the goals of increasing family-supporting wages and enabling the success of the parent. In particular, the Department is interested in supporting parents &amp;#8211; defined as custodial parent, legal guardian, foster parent, or other person standing in loco parentis &amp;#8211; who face a barrier to training, including child care and other participant supportive service needs, and are in need of increasing skills and competencies that will either prepare them for entry into an H-1B-aligned career pathway or advancement along an H-1B-aligned career pathway and into middle- or high-skilled jobs. Through this FOA, the Department aims to address education and training barriers for low- to middle-skilled parents by prioritizing the needs of this targeted population; addressing child care needs for parents seeking education and training; increasing access to child care resources; and bridging the gap between the workforce development and child care systems. As applicants design their training strategies to meet the needs of working parents, they should consider the delivery methods and scheduling of training as important factors in providing the flexibility that working parents may require for participation in training. This may include adjusting curriculum design to provide flexible course offerings, expanding asynchronous learning options, or providing online courses. It could also include delivering training through banded schedules to enable parents to accommodate their work schedules and make it easier for working parents to make child care arrangements. Another possibility is the inclusion of training onsite at the workplace, particularly if child care is provided in the same location. An important element of this FOA is the need for communities to address how local areas will help parents navigate complex systems and access the child care services they need. The SWFI grants will provide the platform for strengthening partnerships between systems (workforce training providers and child care providers) to ensure consistency in care and flexibility in services. To support these efforts, applicants are required to leverage cash or in-kind resources amounting to at least 25 percent of the total award.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to assess the level of interest among state and regional-level entities&amp;#8212;including governmental, industrial, and academic organizations&amp;#8212;in including renewable energy deployment into their energy strategies and in identifying specific challenge areas to address. For purposes of this RFI, renewable energy includes solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal technologies. Renewable energy targets and strategic plans have been set at the state level for many years, sometimes including technology-specific plans and programs. As Renewable Portfolio Standards sunset in many states and as compliance requirements are launched for greenhouse gas reduction, states may wish either to establish or re-evaluate targets for renewable electricity deployment and/or consider the most beneficial paths for achieving those goals. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). The full RFI may be found at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/default.aspx.</Description>

Worst sections of the 65 mile trail network will be chosen, and the work directed by NPS staff on site. Tasks involve working with chain saws, power trimmers and assorted hand tools common to brush clearing work. Dry Bay, a remote station near the northern boundary of Glacier Bay NP is accessible by small plane. The base camp is located adjacent to the NPS ranger station with emergency radio contact to USCG and NPS through that station. Worksite accessibility is via ATV and UTV machinery provided by the NPS. Airplane accessibility to and from Dry Bay is weather dependent, with flight delays often considered normal. 2. Trail repairs, Bartlett Cove. Hiking trails within the Bartlett Cove developed area need routine brushing, tread and drainage repairs. Worst sections of the 11 mile trail network will be chosen, and the work directed by NPS staff on site. Tasks involve working with assorted hand tools common to trails work. Worksites are accessible by an NPS provided vehicle and by foot. The base camp site is located at a campground within the Bartlett Cove developed area. 3. Roadside and boundary brushing, Bartlett Cove. Road shoulders and NPS boundary line corridors need routine brushing to maintain visitor safety and resource protection. Worst sections of the 4 miles of road and 19 miles of maintained boundary will be chosen, and the work directed by NPS staff on site. Tasks involve working with chain saws, power trimmers and assorted hand tools common to brush clearing work. The base camp site is located at a campground within the Bartlett Cove developed area; some of the distant boundary work may require access via small boat and a temporary spike camp. 4. Invasive plant removal, Bartlett Cove. Invasive plant eradication is needed throughout the Bartlett Cove developed area. Focus areas will be chosen and the work directed by NPS staff on site. Tasks involve working with a variety of hand tools common to hand pulling of invasive plants. Base camp will be at the campground within the Bartlett Cove developed area.5. Huna Tribal House landscaping, Bartlett Cove. Post construction landscaping is needed to grounds of the newly constructed Tribal House. Using plants native to the area, a landscape of natural contours will be constructed as directed by NPS staff on site. Tasks involve working with a variety of hand tools common to landscaping. Base camp will be at the campground within the Bartlett Cove developed area. SCA agrees to:1.

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2015/. Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2015 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the MCH Research Network on Promoting Healthy Weight (HW-RN) among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other Developmental Disabilities (DD) Program. The HRSA autism research programs support research that advances the evidence base regarding interventions and best practices to improve the health and well-being of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. This cooperative agreement opportunity will establish and maintain an interdisciplinary, multi-site research forum for scientific collaboration and infrastructure building, which will provide national leadership in research that furthers scientific understanding of obesity risk factors and facilitates the development of interventions designed to improve the health and well-being of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other Developmental Disabilities (DD). This research will help to advance the evidence base regarding best practices for the prevention and treatment of obesity in this high-risk group and improve Health Care Systems and Delivery, such as interdisciplinary team-based care and improve the health and wellbeing of children and youth with ASD and other DD. The HW-RN will use an interdisciplinary team that will lead and promote coordinated research activities related to promoting healthy weight among children and youth with ASD and other DD. The interdisciplinary team will be able to conduct multi-site intervention research, secondary data analyses, pilot and feasibility and/or acceptability studies of interventions, and study obesity risk factors and interventions to promote healthy weight among children and youth with ASD and other DD. The following lists the Network goals and objectives: Infrastructure Development: Develop and maintain an interdisciplinary national network (hereafter referred to as &amp;#8220;the Network&amp;#8221;) of research entities who collaborate in research designed to improve the promotion of healthy weight through the prevention and treatment of obesity among children and youth with ASD and other DD; Identify gaps, develop and/or update a research agenda for scientific studies building upon advances in research as a result of activities described in the incumbent&amp;#8217;s research agenda; Communications: Develop a schedule of on-going communication among Network members, and with the HRSA/MCHB Project Officer; Network Activities: Plan Network activities and research designed to improve the promotion of healthy weight through the prevention and treatment of obesity among children and youth with ASD and other DD. Such activities and research should address the needs of underserved populations, such as low-income, racial/ethnic minorities, immigrants, individuals who have limited access to services, and/or other underserved populations; Build the capacity to advance and implement at least one research study that will address the gaps and promote the research agenda identified by the Network, through both MCHB and other funding sources; Build upon existing knowledge by conducting at least two secondary data analyses using existing large or population-based datasets and/or health records to improve the knowledge about the prevalence of overweight and/or obesity, key risk factors, and obesity-related chronic and secondary health conditions among children and youth with ASD and other DD; Conduct formative work through surveys or literature reviews to understand the biopsychosocial barriers/facilitators to achieving healthy weight among children with ASD and other DD, such as their perspective and experiences on excessive body weight; barriers to physical activity and healthy eating; psychological, biological, medical, social, and environmental influences on obesity and obesity-related health behaviors; Identify effective approaches and/or test the initial efficacy, feasibility and acceptability of two to three intervention programs designed to reduce excessive weight among children and youth with ASD and other DD. The applicant should consider adapting an existing successful program for children and youth from the general population or selected subgroups and tailoring it for application to children and youth with ASD and other DD. Provide mentored experiences for new investigators; Dissemination: Maintain a Network website to disseminate research findings, generate interest in the Network, and expand Network membership; Develop and disseminate guidelines to practitioners and families focused on the prevention and treatment of obesity among children and youth with ASD and other DD based on completed research and post on the Network website; Develop and implement a plan to disseminate Network findings through at least two peer-reviewed publications per study, two to three webinars, annual Network meetings, and other related activities. These activities should serve to facilitate the transfer of Network findings to a broader audience such as researchers, health professionals, policy makers, educators, families; Translational Research: Identify opportunities to include children or adolescents with ASD and other DD in ongoing large state-wide or national surveillance and health promotion programs; Expansion Efforts: Leverage external funds to advance and implement critical research that will address identified gaps and promote the research agenda; Collaborate with other MCHB research networks funded through the Autism CARES Act of 2014; such as the Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (AIR-P); The HRSA autism research programs support research on evidence-based practices for interventions to improve the health and well-being of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. The HW-RN will determine the best evidence-based practices and advance the evidence base on effective interventions for the prevention and treatment of obesity in this high-risk group. Areas of particular concern include, but are not limited to: Need for better knowledge and understanding about the prevalence and extent of the problem of overweight and obesity among children and youth with ASD and other DD, key factors contributing to the possible increased risk, and obesity-related chronic and secondary health conditions among children and youth with ASD and other DD; Opportunities to maximize the impact of obesity prevention and early intervention activities, including anticipatory guidance to parents and health care providers; Improvement in health care delivery services, such as interdisciplinary team-based care; and Healthy lifestyle promotion through innovative programs and research regarding the interacting physical, social, behavioral, and environmental determinants of overweight and obesity at various levels, including the individual, family, school, neighborhood, and larger community. Consistent with HRSA&amp;#8217;s mission to improve access to quality services to underserved populations, the MCHB&amp;#8217;s intent is to ensure that research activities are responsive to the cultural and linguistic needs of special populations, that services are family-centered and accessible to consumers, and that the broadest possible representation of culturally distinct and historically underrepresented groups is supported through programs and projects sponsored by the MCHB.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage small business concerns (SBCs) to pursue translational non-clinical studies and clinical studies for recording and/or stimulating devices to treat nervous system disorders and thereby better understand the human brain.The program will utilize a cooperative agreement mechanism to support the non-clinical studies necessary for the submission of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for a Significant Risk (SR) study or to obtain Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for a Non-Significant Risk (NSR) study, and the subsequent small clinical study (e.g., Early Feasibility Study).Activities supported in this program include implementation of clinical prototype devices, non-clinical safety and efficacy testing, design verification and validation activities, and pursuit of regulatory approval for, and implementation of, a single small clinical study. The small clinical study should provide data to answer key questions about the function or final design of a device.This final device design may require most, if not all, of the non-clinical testing on the path to more advanced clinical trials and market approval.The clinical study is expected to provide information that cannot be practically obtained through additional non-clinical assessments (e.g., bench top or animal studies) due to the novelty of the device or its intended use.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage small business concerns (SBCs) to pursue a small clinical study to obtain critical information necessary to advance recording and/or stimulating devices to treat central nervous system disorders and thereby better understand the human brain (e.g., Early Feasibility Study).Clinical studies supported may consist of acute or short-term procedures that are deemed Non-Significant Risk (NSR) by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), or Significant Risk (SR) studies that require an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA, such as chronic implants.The clinical study should provide data to answer key questions about the function or final design of a device.This final device design may require most, if not all, of the non-clinical testing on the path to more advanced clinical trials and market approval.The clinical study is expected to provide information that cannot be practically obtained through additional non-clinical assessments (e.g., bench top or animal studies) due to the novelty of the device or its intended use. Activities supported by this Funding Opportunity include a small clinical study to answer key questions about the function or final design of a device.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism&amp;apos;s (CT) goal is to deny terrorism new recruits by reducing sympathy and support for violent extremism. CT achieves this goal along three lines of effort: (1) engaging communities at-risk of recruitment and radicalization to violence, including by providing positive alternatives to such populations; (2) countering and undermining violent extremist narratives and messaging; and (3) building partner nation and civil society capacity to counter violent extremism. CT invites not-for-profit, non-governmental organizations and educational institutions to submit applications to provide expert Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) advice to, and design and implement CVE capacity-building activities to support, the Strong Cities Network (SCN), a global network of local authorities united in building social cohesion and community resilience to counter violent extremism. The activities would focus on local &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; especially municipal &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; officials and officers who are members of the SCN and would include efforts to recruit additional cities and subnational authorities to join the network. Work would focus on the priorities identified by the SCN International Steering Committee members at their inaugural meeting in New York in September 2015 &amp;#128;&amp;#147; particularly, strengthening strategic planning and practices among local government representatives and building the capacity of local practitioners to prevent the spread of violent extremism. The network will catalyze, inspire and multiply community-centric approaches and action to counter violent extremism while respecting the fundamental rights of citizens. CT intends to award, via a cooperative agreement, up to approximately $700,000 for SCN activities, contingent upon the availability of funds.</Description>

This process will include brainstorming and ideation, the co-facilitation of up to six (6) design sessions using the Kids Design Team, and seeing the production and fabrication of the application. The project will be completed upon the public launching of the application on both iOS and Android platforms accessible via iTunes or Google Play. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN This project will create a digital educational experience for children who are unable to reach the preserve. Due to the remote and isolated nature of the preserve, many people are unable to visit. Two key components for this project include 1) creating a product that is unique to mobile devices; 2) creating a product that is non-site specific; many users are unable to reach the preserve. Nationwide users, regardless of their location, will be able to navigate an extension of their reality and forge a sense of place by closely examining the beauty, science, and/or human history of the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. Bering Land Bridge National Preserve will offer the services of the Visual Information Specialist (VIS) to act as a liaison between park managers and the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP). The UMCP Design Team and the Visual Information Specialist will work closely to develop goals, scope of work, and the activities to be accomplished. Multiple design session will be held using the Kids Design Team and UMCP methodologies at UMCP facilities. Each set of design sessions will have their own focus, which include: brainstorming and ideation, design and architecture, and revision and iteration. UMCP and the VIS will closely communicate during the production and fabrication of the application. A testing phase will be conducted in Nome, Alaska during which the VIS will report any unexpected crashes or bug on the app. Completion of this will be signified by the publication of the app via iTunes and Google Play. Our timeline is listed below: Milestone Tasks completed Deadline Winter 1) Identify key themes and concepts 2) Firm scheduling of ideation, design, and testing sessions. March 2016 Spring 1) Conduct up to two ideation and brainstorming sessions with Kids Design Team at UMCP facilities. 2) Conduct up to two design session with Kids Design Team at UMCP facilities.

For an applicant that is currently receiving a Talent Search Program grant, the maximum award amount is the greater of (a) $240,000 or (b) the award amount obtained by multiplying the applicant&amp;apos;s approved FY 2015 number of participants by $480, to serve at least the number of participants approved to serve in FY 2015. The minimum number of participants an applicant proposes to serve must be 500 and the project must propose a per-participant cost that does not exceed $480 per participant. For example, an applicant whose FY 2015 approved number of participants is 600 is eligible for a grant of up to $288,000 to serve 600 participants.

In EASIE Part II, new applicants or applicants making changes to either the objectives, activities, or coordination of services must: (1) Identify, from a list of possible programs (e.g., ESEA title I), the programs in the school district that are currently coordinated with a title VII project, or with which the school district plans to coordinate during the project year, in accordance with the statutory requirement to provide a comprehensive program that includes other Federal, State, and local funds; (2) describe the coordination of services for AI/AN students and identify specific project objectives towards the goal of providing culturally responsive education for AI/AN students to meet their academic needs and help them meet State achievement standards and choose the data sources that will be used to measure progress towards meeting project objectives, and on which you will report in the APR after the grant year closes; and (3) submit a realistic program budget based on the estimated grant amount that the EASIE system calculates from the Indian student count you submitted in EASIE Part I. After the initial grant amounts are determined, additional funds may become available due to such circumstances as withdrawn applications or reduction in an applicant&amp;apos;s student count. An applicant whose award amount increases or decreases more than $1,000 must submit a revised budget prior to receiving its grant award but will not need to re-certify its application. For an applicant that receives an increase or decrease in its award of less than $1,000, there will be no need for further action. For any applicant that receives notification of an increased award amount following submission of its original budget, the applicant must allocate the increased amount only to previously approved budget categories. In EASIE Part III, grantees must submit a performance report. More information on annual performance reporting is provided later in section V. of this notice, titled Grant Administration Information under part 3. Reporting. Registration for Formula Grant EASIE: Current, former, and new applicants interested in submitting an Indian Education Formula Grant EASIE application must register for Formula Grant EASIE. Entities are encouraged to register as soon as possible at the registration Web site www.easie.org, to ensure that any potential registration issues are resolved prior to the deadline for the submission of an application. Through this initial registration, an entity activates or re-activates access to EASIE and ensures that the correct entity information (e.g., NCES or DUNS numbers) is pre-populated into the first part of Formula Grant EASIE. Registration at this Web site does not serve as the entity&amp;apos;s grant application. For assistance registering, contact the EDFacts Partner Support Center listed under Agency Contacts in section VI of this notice. Certification for Formula Grant EASIE: The applicant&amp;apos;s authorized representative, who must be authorized by the applicant/able to legally bind the applicant, must certify Part I, Part II and Part III of EASIE. Only users with the role type ``managing user&amp;apos;&amp;apos; or ``certifying official user&amp;apos;&amp;apos; in the EASIE system can certify an application. The certification process ensures that the information in the application is true, reliable, and valid. An applicant that provides a false statement in the application is subject to penalties under the False Claims Act, 18 U.S.C. 1001.</Description>

        <Description>Conservation of native landscapes is an ongoing management challenge with respect to the introduction and spread of invasive, non-native species. Land uses, ground disturbance, climate change, or wild fire are examples of catalysts that can influence spread. BLM will work cooperatively with a southern Humboldt County non-profit organization to regularly conduct invasive weed surveys, early detection and rapid response protocols, eradication, post-treatment monitoring and follow-up treatments for invasive weed infestations in the King Range NCA. The recipient would work with the BLM in surveying lands in the King Range to identify new infestations to treat before they become a greater problem, and monitor pre-existing known sites of infestation.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled &amp;#8220;MEGA-BIO: Bioproducts to Enable Biofuels&amp;#8221;. This FOA supports BETO&amp;#8217;s goal of meeting its 2022 cost target of $3/gallon gasoline equivalent (gge) for the production of hydrocarbon fuels from lignocellulosic biomass. One approach BETO has taken previously to achieve this goal is to focus on conversion pathways that produce biofuels, with little or no emphasis on coproducing bioproducts. As BETO increasingly focuses on hydrocarbon fuels, it is examining strategies that capitalize on revenue from bioproducts as part of cost-competitive biofuel production. A variety of technology pathways can be used to produce hydrocarbon biofuels, but many of them require the production of value-added chemicals and products in the near-term to achieve an attractive rate of return on cost-competitive fuels. Value-added chemicals and products can also incentivize the de-risking of &amp;#8220;front end&amp;#8221; processes (from feedstock logistics through to deconstruction) which are also necessary for fuel production. It is important to note that while bioproducts are seen as a valuable strategy for enabling fuels, the BETO is not interested in pursuing R&amp;amp;D solely on bioproducts, without a fuels component. The intent of this FOA, therefore, is to identify R&amp;amp;D projects that develop biomass to hydrocarbon biofuels conversion pathways that can produce variable amounts of fuels and products based on external factors, such as market demand. These pathways could consist of a route to a platform chemical that could be converted to products or fuels or a route that coproduces chemicals and fuels. Successful applications will include a clear justification for producing the target molecule(s) from biomass, a compelling narrative explaining how the target product(s) will enable biofuels, and supporting technoeconomic analysis and life cycle analysis. It is anticipated that the FOA may include the following Areas of Interest: Area of Interest 1: R&amp;amp;D to optimize one unit operation of the proposed conversion pathway Area of Interest 2: R&amp;amp;D to optimize and integrate multiple unit operations of the proposed conversion pathway EERE envisions awarding multiple financial assistance awards in the form of cooperative agreements. The estimated period of performance for each award will be approximately three years. This Notice is issued so that interested parties are aware of the EERE&amp;#8217;s intention to issue this FOA in the near term. All of the information contained in this Notice is subject to change. EERE will not respond to questions concerning this Notice. Once the FOA has been released, EERE will provide an avenue for potential Applicants to submit questions. EERE plans to issue the FOA in or about January, 2016 via the EERE Exchange website https://eereexchange.energy.gov/. If Applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding this FOA, they should register in EERE Exchange. When the FOA is released, applications will be accepted only through EERE Exchange. </Description>

        <Description>The overall goal of this initiative is to identify neurophysiological measures as potential assays for treatment development research. The FOA will support efforts to optimize and evaluate measures of neurophysiological processes that are disrupted within or across mental disorders in both healthy humans and in another species relevant to the therapeutic development pipeline. The initiative will support initial proof of concept studies aimed at identifying measures for potential development as preclinical assays for evaluating potential new drug and device therapies and their targets. Data will also reveal assay measures where the performance between preclinical animal species and humans is dissimilar, thus establishing a firm basis for limiting speculative extrapolations of preclinical animal findings to humans. The ultimate practical goal of this FOA is to improve the efficiency of the therapeutic development process by identifying coherence of measures and inconsistencies between the preclinical screening pipeline and clinical evaluation of new treatment candidates and thereby hasten the development of more effective treatments for mental disorders.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal.

        <Description>The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), Executive Office of the President, is seeking applications from a non-profit entity that is described in Section 501(c)(3) with expert knowledge and extensive experience in community mobilizing using the Seven Strategies for Community Change. Applicants must have served as an essential partner in assisting the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program with technical assistance to community coalitions in their substance use prevention efforts and have experience training youth to be coalition leaders. With the release of President Obama&amp;#8217;s first National Drug Control Strategy, in 2010, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) has been coordinating a government-wide public health and safety approach to reduce drug use and its consequences in the United States. The 2015 National Drug Control Strategy represents the Administration&amp;#8217;s 21st century approach to drug policy that works to reduce illicit drug use and its consequences in the United States. This evidence-based plan, which balances public health and public safety efforts to prevent, treat, and provide recovery from the disease of addiction, seeks to build a healthier, safer, and more prosperous country. Preventing drug use before it starts is a fundamental element of the 2015 National Drug Control Strategy. As noted in its introduction, there has been overall progress in reducing illicit drug use among young people, including youth (ages 12-17) and young adults (ages 18-25). ONDCP would like to enhance the efforts of the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program by engaging youth to become involved in coalition work and become substance abuse prevention leaders within their communities. DFC-funded community coalitions are required to work with various sectors of their community to identify local drug problems and implement comprehensive strategies to create community-level change. The contributions of community coalitions constitute a critical part of the Nation&amp;#8217;s drug prevention infrastructure. DFC-funded community coalitions are a catalyst for creating local change where drug problems manifest. Findings from the 2013 DFC National Cross site Evaluation indicate that prevalence of youth substance use has declined significantly in DFC-funded community coalitions. ONDCP expects to award one Federal cooperative agreement under the National Youth Leadership Initiative, for a two year period, beginning approximately January 2016. The successful non-Federal entity (NFE) receiving award must equip youth and their adult advisors with the essential knowledge and skills needed to make significant community-level change. Implementation of the National Youth Leadership Initiative (NYLI) must follow a youth-led, adult-guided approach that follows the best practices in youth development, empowering young people to be vocal and visible as they work to impact a broad range of public health issues where they live, study, and play. In addition, the NYLI must continue the expanded support begun in 2014 by ONDCP to develop the infrastructure needed to increase the number of youth from diverse populations (i.e., Tribal, African American, LGBTQ, Military, Hispanics and Inner City) to receive enhanced training in coalition work and the prevention of youth substance use. </Description>

        <Description>The project will incorporate peer-to-peer learning through the establishment of centers of excellence (COEs) in three countries. Peers who observe evidence-based decision making, rigorous immunization program costing, innovative financing and effective legislative processes in other countries are most likely to institute those practices at home. Institutionalizing these practices will signal to vaccine manufacturers that LLMICs are prepared to negotiate and purchase their products. This will help establish a fairer and more competitive global vaccine market. As they develop, these new institutional capacities and best practices will likely be generalized to meet other public financing challenges the LLMICs face. Through such innovative project initiatives, countries will potentially be more likely to achieve the 2020 GVAP Strategic Objectives.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) seeks to identify training providers to serve the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program. The state and regional ICAC task forces work collaboratively as a national network of law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies that prevent, interdict, and investigate technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and Internet crimes against children. This program furthers the Department&amp;apos;s mission by providing training and support to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement, prosecutors, and other professionals involved in investigating and prosecuting technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation. This solicitation offers four training categories. Applicants must clearly designate under which category they are applying. Applicants may submit applications for one or more of the categories listed below. Each category requires a separate application, and OJJDP will not consider applications combining training in different purpose areas. Category 1: Entry Level and Core Training. The successful applicant(s) will deliver training programs already developed for ICAC investigators, including, but not limited to, ICAC Investigative Techniques, ICAC Under Cover Chat Investigations, and ICAC CyberTip Management. (OJJDP will supply copies of course outlines to interested applicants on request. See contact information, page 2.) Applicants should be prepared to modify existing training delivery mechanisms to increase efficiency and cost effectiveness. OJJDP will expect the successful applicant to propose other courses and training products targeting the development of core knowledge related to ICAC investigations. Category 2: Digital Evidence Forensics. The successful applicant(s) will develop and deliver training opportunities on forensic analyses of computers, cell phones, wireless networks, video games, and other digital devices that may contain evidence of a crime. Category 3: Specialized Training on Tools and Technology. The successful applicant(s) will develop and deliver training opportunities on specialized topic areas related to investigating and prosecuting technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation. Training areas may include, but are not limited to: cell phone technologies, wireless networks, peer-to-peer file sharing, encryption, on-scene investigative tools, and exploitation via social networking sites. Category 4: Officer Wellness. The successful applicant(s) will develop and deliver training to assist law enforcement, police agency command staff, prosecutors, and mental health professionals in identifying and managing vicarious trauma due to long-term and repeated exposure to child exploitation images as part of their work responsibilities. </Description>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. Purpose of Program: The central purpose of the Institute&amp;apos;s research grant programs is to provide parents, educators, students, researchers, policymakers, and the general public with reliable and valid information about education practices that support learning and improve academic achievement and access to education opportunities for all students. In carrying out its grant programs, the Institute provides support for programs of research in areas of demonstrated national need. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.305D. Eligible Applicants: Applicants that have the ability and capacity to conduct scientifically valid research are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to, non-profit and for-profit organizations and public and private agencies and institutions, such as colleges and universities. You may access the electronic grant applications for the Education Research, Education Research Training, Research on Statistical and Research Methodology in Education, Evaluation of State and Local Education Programs and Policies, Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships, Special Education Research, Special Education Research Training, and the Accelerating the Academic Achievement of Students with Disabilities Research Initiative competitions at www.Grants.gov. You must search for the downloadable application package for each competition by the CFDA number. Do not include the CFDA number&amp;apos;s alpha suffix in your search (e.g., search for 84.324, not 84.324A). In the March 6 NIA, the Department announced 13 competitions to be held under the Education Research and Special Education Research Grant Programs. The chart at the end of the March 6 NIA (see 77 FR 13297, 13302-13303) provided competition-specific information, including the dates application packages would be available as well as the deadline dates for applications. The entries in the chart corresponding to the following three competitions contained errors: Research on Statistical and Research Methodology in Education (CFDA 84.305D), Evaluation of State and Local Education Programs and Policies (CFDA 84.305E), and Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships in Education Research (CFDA 84.305H). Following is a description of the errors along with the correct information: For the CFDA 84.305D competition: We indicated that the application package would be available on July 19, 2012; however, the correct date the application package will be available is April 19, 2012. We also indicated that that the deadline for transmittal of applications would be September 20, 2012; however, the correct deadline is June 21, 2012. For the CFDA 84.305E competition: We indicated that the application package would be available on April 19, 2012; however, the correct date the application package will be available is July 19, 2012. We also indicated that that the deadline for transmittal of applications would be June 21, 2012; however, the correct deadline is September 20, 2012. For the CFDA 84.305H competition: We indicated that the estimated range of awards was $100,000 to $400,000; however, the correct range is $50,000 to $200,000. We also incorrectly indicated that the project period for this grant would be up to 3 years; the corrected project period is up to 2 years.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the Field Initiated (FI) Projects program is to generate new knowledge through research or to develop methods, procedures, and rehabiitation technology that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficienty of individuals with disabilities, especially individuals with the most severe disabilities. Another purpose of the FI Projects program is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. In carrying out a development activity under an FI Projects development grant, a grantee must use knowledge and understanding gained from research to create materials, devices, systems, or methods, including designing and developing prototypes and processes, that are beneficial to the target population. &amp;#8220;Target population&amp;#8221; means the group of individuals, organizations, or other entities expected to be affected by the project. There may be more than one target population because a project may affect those who receive services, provide services, or administer services. Please note this will be the Funding Opportunity for Field Initiated Development proposals.</Description>

        <Description>USAID-Burma: With a ceiling of US $32 million over a five-year period, the planned &amp;#8220;Defeat Malaria&amp;#8221; activity will support the national goal of controlling artemisinin-resistant malaria and ultimately eliminating malaria in Burma. This new investment will expand current coverage of community-based prevention and case management services from one million to three million people, giving priority to highly endemic and hard-to-reach areas, mobile and migrant populations, and Non-State Actor areas. &amp;#8220;Defeat Malaria&amp;#8221; will strengthen the capacity of local stakeholders, from national to peripheral level, to lead, manage and implement interventions to reduce the malaria burden towards the goal of elimination. This activity will also strengthen the malaria surveillance system to better inform response and control strategies, and promote the involvement of communities and the private sector in control initiatives. </Description>

        <Description>This purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for projects that will contribute to the evidence base by enhancing our understanding of interventions identified as effective by the HHS Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review in reducing rates of teen pregnancy and existing disparities. The funding for this FOA comes from authority in section 241 of the Public Health Service Act and is subject to annual appropriations &amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#156;to carry out evaluations (including longitudinal evaluations) of teenage pregnancy prevention approaches.&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#157; The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (P.L. 114-113). With this FOA, OAH is interested in analyses of existing rigorous evaluation data, including new or advanced methods of analyses, or novel combination and integration of datasets to allow the exploration of new questions in the area of teen pregnancy prevention. This effort will build upon and expand OAH&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s program evaluation efforts from fiscal years FY 2010 to FY 2014 to identify programs with demonstrated effectiveness in reducing teen pregnancies and existing disparities. The Office Adolescent Health will be substantially involved in the administration and management of the cooperative agreement to assist the grantees in achieving all project objectives and requirements. Elements of substantial involvement include, but are not limited to following: &amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#162; Identification of other awardees and organizations with whom the awardee may be asked to develop cooperative and collaborative relationships and partnerships; &amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#162; Assisting the awardee to establish, review, and update priorities for activities conducted under the auspices of this cooperative agreement; and &amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#162; Review and approval of analysis plans once datasets have been obtained to move forward with analysis phase of the project. In addition to the substantial involvement, OAH will perform the usual monitoring and technical assistance provided under a cooperative agreement including but not limited to monthly meetings via phone call to review project plans and activities; ongoing review of all activities and procedures, work plans, and budgets; and review of procedures of accomplishing the objectives of the project funded under this cooperative agreement. Proposed grant projects are not limited to publications and datasets from the FY2010-2014 Teen Pregnancy Prevention Grant Program or OAH&amp;#195;&amp;#162;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s Federal evaluations but may also include large, nationally representative data sets; data from other sources; and data from Federal, State, or local governmental agencies. If quantitative data is not publically available, the applicant will need to describe their possession of or ability to obtain and utilize private datasets. Projects are expected to conduct investigations in relation to key pregnancy prevention outcomes including but not limited to: 1) condom use; 2) sexual activity; 3) use of effective contraceptive methods; 4) pregnancies and births; and/or 5) incidence of STIs. Investigations including additional important risk or protection outcomes are acceptable and encouraged. Grants under this announcement are not intended as a means to carry out data collection, ongoing data analysis or for the maintenance and distribution of data sets. Proposed secondary data analyses must be distinct from the aims and methods of the primary research under which the data were collected, i.e. effects or outcomes previously examined in the original scope of research, and avoid duplication with existing projects in the field. Secondary data analyses using extant data obtained from rigorous program evaluations that analyze program components, populations, or settings that were not previously examined in the original scope of research, and particularly analyses that combine data from multiple rigorous evaluations of a particular effective TPP program, are a priority for this announcement. Specifically, this FOA is interested in secondary data analyses with interventions identified as effective by the HHS Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review. OAH is interested in addressing different research questions across funded projects, prioritizing data analyses that will address the following research questions: 1.) By how much do program effects on key outcomes vary across individuals, subgroups and sites? 2.) What characteristics of programs, their participants and their contexts predict (moderate) variation in program effects on key outcomes? 3.) What mechanisms cause (mediate) program effects and their variation on key outcomes? 4.) What is the effect on key outcomes of participating in a particular component of a multi-faceted intervention? 5.) How does exposure to various levels of program quality and/or program dosage affect program impacts on key outcomes? 6.) What behavioral or other outcome measures beyond the current HHS Evidence Review outcome measures are reliable and valid to collect from adolescents, particularly younger adolescents (ages 10-14 years) and are later correlated with the HHS Evidence Review outcomes measures?</Description>

        <Description> The Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) within the Administration for Community Living (ACL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) forecasts the possible availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 funds to make five-year grants to up to two entities designated as University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDD). These grantees carry out four core functions: (1) interdisciplinary pre-service preparation and continuing education of students; (2) community services, including training, technical assistance, and/or demonstration and model activities; (3) research; and (4) dissemination of information. UCEDDs are interdisciplinary education, research and public service units of universities, or public or not-for-profit entities associated with universities that implement the four core functions addressing, directly or indirectly, one or more of the areas of emphasis (e.g., quality assurance, education and early intervention, child care, health, employment, housing, transportation, recreation and other services available or offered to individuals in a community, including formal and informal community supports, that affect their quality of life). Funds made available under this proposed funding opportunitywill be used to pay for the Federal share of the cost of the administration and operation of programs designated as UCEDDs. </Description>

        <Description>I. Description of Funding Opportunity: The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat. 917 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 669-669b, 669-669k, now known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 1938. The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The Congressional Resource Committee had broad support from sportsmens organizations who stated that States were not using their possible allotments to support these programs or there was not a consistent level of effort to further the future of hunting. As a result, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to enhance existing hunter education or shooting range programs. Additional information about Section 10 is available at: http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/HunterEd/HE.htm. States may use the funds apportioned to them under Section 10 to: 1. Enhance programs for hunter education, hunter development, and firearm and archery safety. Hunter-development programs introduce individuals to and recruit them to take part in hunting, bow hunting, target shooting, or archery. 2. Enhance interstate coordination of hunter-education and firearm- and archery- range programs. 3. Enhance programs for education, safety, or development of bow hunters and archers. 4. Enhance construction and development of firearm and archery ranges. 5. Update safety features of firearm and archery ranges. Section 10 funds supplement, not replace Section 4(c) Hunter Education funds, thereby enhancing a State&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s hunter education and safety program. The following are some examples of eligible activities: 1. Training participants in the safe and proficient use of hunting equipment, hunter responsibility, principles of wildlife management, wildlife identification, and firearms handling; 2. Constructing facilities, such as classrooms, shooting ranges, and other support facilities needed for instruction purposes; 3. Gathering information to help develop, implement, and evaluate hunter education and safety grants; 4. Providing training in trapper education as it relates to safety, responsibility, humane trapping methods, and avoidance of nontarget species, and development of trapping skills; and 5. Communicating information about WSFR grant funded hunter education and recreational shooting sports activities. </Description>

        <Description>The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on advanced interpretation of avian biotelemetry data Recent advances in animal biotelemetry have enabled detailed and novel data collection on animal movement. However, there is a paucity of tools available to interpret and analyze these data and the tools that do exist are often difficult to discover and challenging to use. Thus there is an important need to apply or develop novel tools to analyze the new data that are collected. It is the goal of this project to address that problem, using the massive existing GPS-GSM telemetry data set collected by and available to USGS and collaborators. These analyses could be published in a wildlife management, conservation biology or applied ecology journals. </Description>

        <Description>The Paul S. Sarbanes Ecosystem Restoration Project at Poplar Island, Talbot County, MD, presents a unique opportunity to understand how large scale ecological restoration projects affect terrapin populations. The most effective way to accomplish this task is to monitor the activity and use of Poplar Island by terrapins.The objective of the monitoring will be to evaluate the current terrapin population in the Poplar Island archipelago and to establish how the population responds as the project progresses and available habitat increases. By monitoring the terrapin population on Poplar Island as habitat is developed, the USACE can learn how to optimize the benefits provided to this species at Poplar Island and other dredged material placement sites. One concern about the nesting activity occurring on Poplar Island is that some of the nests are being placed in areas where the emerging hatchlings may end up in cells under construction. </Description>

        <Description> Section 101 of the Second Chance Act authorizes the Department of Justice to award grants to states to improve reentry outcomes for incarcerated youth. The Second Chance Act Program helps communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges that reentry and recidivism reduction pose. Developing a comprehensive approach for reducing recidivism is challenging for even the most sophisticated juvenile justice agencies, requiring access to data, changes to service delivery, and coordination from multiple systems. This program will provide grants to support the implementation of an existing statewide plan to better align juvenile justice policy, practice, and resource allocation with what research shows works to reduce recidivism and improve outcomes for youth in contact with the juvenile justice system. </Description>

        <Description>U.S. Embassy South Africa Public Affairs Section, U.S. Department of State (PAS) is pleased to announce that funding is available through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants program. This is an Annual Program Statement, outlining our funding priorities, strategic themes, and procedures for submitting requests for funding. Please carefully follow all instructions below. Purpose of Small Grants: PAS awards a limited number of grants, subject to the availability of funds, to non-profit organizations, non-profit academic institutions, and individuals to support exchange between the U.S. and South Africa with the aim of improving mutual respect and understanding. PAS gives priority to the following themes and initiatives: &amp;#8226; Culture / American Society; &amp;#8226; Educational Initiatives; &amp;#8226; Democracy, Good Governance, and Rule of law; &amp;#8226; Human Rights and Civil Society; &amp;#8226; Science and Technology; &amp;#8226; Youth leadership and development; &amp;#8226; Climate Change; &amp;#8226; Entrepreneurship and Innovation. PAS will ONLY consider grants that have an American component or aspect in their proposal. This could include, but is not limited to, having an American expert as a speaker, using curriculum developed by a U.S. institution or projecting an American film. Activities that are not funded include, but are not limited to: &amp;#8226; Social welfare projects; &amp;#8226; Individual travel to conferences; &amp;#8226; Construction projects; &amp;#8226; Completion of projects begun with other funds; &amp;#8226; Projects that are inherently political in nature or that contain the appearance of partisanship/support to individual or single party electoral campaigns; &amp;#8226; Political party activities; and, &amp;#8226; Projects that support specific religious activities. Authorizing statutes for funding are: 1) Smith-Mundt Act, which specifies the terms in which the United States government can engage global audiences: http://www.state.gov/pdcommission/library/177362.htm. 2) Fulbright-Hays Act, which allows the Department of State to use funds for the purpose of supporting international exchanges that address issues of mutual interest to the United States: http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/iegps/fulbrighthaysact.pdf. II. Award Information Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement or Grant (including Fixed Amount Awards and Property Grants). Cooperative agreements are different from grants in that PAS staff are more actively involved in proposal execution and anticipate having moderate to substantial involvement once the award has been made. Minimum amount for individual awards: $1,000. Maximum amount for individual awards: $10,000. Project and Budget Periods: Grant projects generally must be completed in one year or less. The Public Affairs Section will entertain applications for continuation of grants funded under these awards beyond the initial budget period on a noncompetitive basis subject to availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the program, and a determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the U.S. Department of State. Applicants should consider their budgets carefully and submit a budget commensurate with their project goals. While PAS will consider proposals up to $10,000, projects that are smaller in scope are more likely to be considered. III. Eligibility Information PAS encourages applications from organizations in South Africa or the U.S.: &amp;#8226; Registered not-for-profit think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations with programming experience; &amp;#8226; Non-profit educational institutions. Individuals are also welcome to submit applications. Only projects that take place in South Africa will be considered. PAS encourages applicants to provide cost-sharing from additional sources in support of the project. IV. Application Submission and Deadline Proposals should be submitted by email to your nearest PAS office: &amp;#8226; Cape Town: CapeTownGrants@state.gov &amp;#8226; Durban: DurbanGrants@state.gov &amp;#8226; Johannesburg: JoburgGrants@state.gov &amp;#8226; Pretoria: PretoriaGrants@state.gov Applications are accepted in English only. Final grant agreements will be concluded in English. There are three deadlines in 2016 for submitting proposals: February 15, May 1, and August 1. Applicants must complete and submit the PAS Small Grant Application Form, which includes a project description, detailed budget (including cost-sharing), and a monitoring &amp;amp; evaluation plan. Recipients should be registered on SAM.gov (exceptions may be made for first-time, one-off grants). SAM registration requires a DUNS number and an NCAGE code: &amp;#8226; DUNS Number: Any entity that receives PAS financing must register for a DUNS number, which is a unique nine-digit identification number. DUNS Number assignment is free for organizations required to register with the federal government for grants. Begin the process here: http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform (or phone 011 790 3060); &amp;#8226; NCAGE Code: https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx; &amp;#8226; SAM registration: https://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM/. V. Review and Selection Process Each application submitted under this announcement will be evaluated and rated on the basis of the criteria outlined below. The criteria listed are designed to assess the quality of the proposed project and to determine the likelihood of its success. The criteria are closely related and are considered as a whole in judging the overall quality of an application. Applications will be reviewed on the basis of their completeness, coherence, clarity, and attention to detail. Organizational Capacity: The organization has expertise in its stated field and PAS is confident of its technical capacity to undertake the project. Goals and Objectives: Goals and objectives are clearly stated and project approach is likely to provide maximum impact in achieving the proposed results. Embassy Priority: Applicant has clearly described how stated goals are related to and support the priority areas of U.S. Embassy South Africa. Sustainability: Project activities will continue to have positive impact after the end of the project. Feasibility: Analysis of the project&amp;#8217;s economic, organizational, and technical feasibility. This is related to the project approach, budget items requested, and technical/human resource capacity of the organization. Budget: The budget justification is both reasonable and realistic in relation to the proposed activities and anticipated results. Grants will be awarded to programs with the highest impact per dollar spent. Monitoring and Evaluation Plan: Applicant demonstrates it is able to measure program success against key indicators and provide milestones to indicate progress toward goals outlined in the proposal. The project includes a systematic recording and periodic analysis of selected information on the project activities. VI. Award Administration Award Notices: The grant award or cooperative agreement shall be written, signed, awarded, and administered by the Grants Officer. The Grants Officer is the U.S. government official delegated the authority by the U.S. Department of State Procurement Executive to write, award, and administer grants and cooperative agreements. The assistance award agreement is the authorizing document and it will be provided to the recipient. Organizations whose applications will not be funded will also be notified in writing. If a proposal is selected for funding, the Department of State has no obligation to provide any additional future funding in connection with the award. Renewal of an award to increase funding or extend the period of performance is at the discretion of the Department of State. Reporting Requirements: Awards issued under this announcement will require program and, if specified, financial reports on a frequency specified in the award agreement. The disbursement of funds may be tied to submission of these reports in a timely manner. All other details related to award administration will be specified in the award agreement as well. Final programmatic and financial reports are due 90 days (unless otherwise specified) after the close of the project period. Progress reports at a minimum should be submitted via electronic mail to an address to be provided in the award. </Description>

        <Description>Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity appear below: &amp;#8226; Namibia Institute of Pathology Under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, as part of the President&amp;apos;s Emergency Plan, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services&amp;#8217; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC) works with host countries and other key partners to assess the needs of each country and design a customized program of assistance that fits within the host nation&amp;apos;s strategic plan. HHS/CDC focuses on two or three major program areas in each country. Goals and priorities include the following: &amp;#8226; Achieving primary prevention of HIV infection through activities such as expanding confidential counseling and testing programs and building programs to reduce mother-tochild transmission; &amp;#8226; Improving the care and treatment of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and related opportunistic infections by improving STI management; enhancing the care and treatment of opportunistic infections, including tuberculosis (TB); and initiating programs to provide anti-retroviral therapy (ART); and &amp;#8226; Strengthening the capacity of countries to collect and use surveillance data and manage national HIV/AIDS programs by expanding HIV/STI/TB surveillance programs and strengthening laboratory support for surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, disease monitoring and HIV screening for blood safety. The purpose of the program is to improve national surveillance for HIV infection, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and tuberculosis (TB) as well as to expand the capacity of the Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP) to provide services for diagnosing and managing these diseases and others related to HIV infection and transmission in Namibia. Additionally, through special initiative funding, the grantee will scale-up HIV/AIDS treatment services in priority regions in Namibia with high HIV disease burden. The U.S. Government seeks to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS in specific countries within sub- Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Americas through the President&amp;#8217;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Through PEPFAR, CDC&amp;#8217;s Global AIDS Program (GAP) will continue to work with host countries to strengthen capacity and expand activities in the areas of: (1) primary HIV prevention; (2) HIV care, support and treatment; and (3) capacity and infrastructure development, especially for surveillance and pre- and in-service training. Targeted countries represent those with the most severe epidemics where the potential for impact is greatest and where U.S. Government agencies are already active. Namibia is one of these targeted countries. To carry out its activities in these countries, CDC is working in a collaborative manner with national governments and other agencies to develop programs of assistance to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. CDC&amp;#8217;s program of assistance to Namibia focuses on several areas of national priority including scaling up of promising strategies for HIV prevention, care and treatment.</Description>

        <Description>The Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950 (Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act), 64 Stat. 430 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 777-777m, was passed on August 9, 1950. It was modeled after the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to create a parallel program for management conservation, and restoration of fishery resources. The Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program (SFR) is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, flies and artificial baits, who pay an excise tax on these items to the U.S. Treasury. An amendment in 1984 (Wallop-Breaux Amendment) added new provisions to the Act by extending the excise tax to previously untaxed items of sport fishing equipment. SFR provides funding to restore, conserve, manage, or enhance sport fish populations and the public use and benefits from these resources; and to provide boating access to public waters. Additional information about SFR is on the internet at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SFR/SFR.htm</Description>

        <Description>Under the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012 (RESTORE Act), Subtitle F of P.L. 112-141, the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund was established in the Treasury of the United States. Eighty percent of the civil penalties paid after July 6, 2012, under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill will be deposited into the Trust Fund and invested. The RESTORE Act created five components through which funds will be disbursed. Treasury is publishing multiple funding opportunity notices as part of the RESTORE Act. This announcement applies only to the Direct Component, and is only for applications for eligible requests for funding to serve as non-federal match for another federal grant involving construction activities. For eligible activities involving non-construction, acquisition of real property, and requests for funding to serve as non-federal share for another federally-funded grant (non-construction or real property), applicants should refer to the appropriate funding opportunity announcement. Trust Fund amounts are available to carry out eligible activities described in the RESTORE Act. These are: a) Restoration and protection of the natural resources, ecosystems, fisheries, marine and wildlife habitats, beaches and coastal wetlands of the Gulf Coast region. b) Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife and natural resources. c) Implementation of a federally approved marine, coastal, or comprehensive conservation management plan, including fisheries monitoring. d) Workforce development and job creation. e) Improvements to or on State parks located in coastal areas affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. f) Infrastructure projects benefiting the economy or ecological resources, including port infrastructure. g) Coastal flood protection and related infrastructure. h) Planning assistance. i) Administrative costs. j) Promotion of tourism in the Gulf Coast region, including recreational fishing. k) Promotion of the consumption of seafood harvested from the Gulf Coast region. All eligible activities must be carried out in the Gulf Coast region with the exception of (h) (k) above.</Description>

        <Description>Telehealth Resource Centers (TRCs) assist health care organizations, health care networks, and health care providers in the implementation of cost-effective telehealth programs to serve rural and medically underserved areas and populations. This FOA will fund two different types of TRCs. This FOA will support twelve TRCs that focus on State-wide and regional telehealth activities and are referred to as Regional TRCs (RTRCs). This FOA will also fund two National TRCs (NTRCs) that focus on telehealth policy or technology activities with a national scope. This funding cycle will support up to twelve RTRCs, with one per region as shown below. RTRCs will serve as focal points for advancing the effective use of telehealth technologies in their respective communities and States. Northeast Region Southeast Region Upper Midwest Region Northwest Region Connecticut Alabama Illinois Alaska Maine Florida Indiana Idaho Massachusetts Georgia Michigan Montana New Hampshire South Carolina Ohio Oregon New Jersey Utah New York South Region North Central Region Washington Rhode Island Arkansas Iowa Wyoming Vermont Mississippi Minnesota Tennessee Nebraska Southwest Region Mid-Atlantic Region Delaware North Dakota Arizona South Central Region South Dakota Colorado District of Columbia Kansas Wisconsin Nevada Kentucky Missouri New Mexico Maryland Oklahoma Pacific Region Utah New Jersey American Samoa North Carolina West Central Region Guam West Region Pennsylvania Louisiana Hawaii California Virginia Texas Northern Mariana Islands West Virginia One National TRC (NTRC) will focus on policy issues such as: clinician licensure, credentialing and privileging, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, and private insurance payment policies. A second National TRC (NTRC) will focus on technical issues of telehealth system selection and evaluation, interfacing/ integration with other systems such as clinical, billing, scheduling, and administration at the consumer, consultant, and originating sites, system interoperability, system support and upgrading, cyber security, technology alerts and recalls or related technology concerns. Both NTRCs must demonstrate a high level of experience and knowledge of their respective areas at the State, local and national level. In addition, each National TRC will work to support the Regional TRCs in their efforts to advance telehealth. The Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) expects all TRCs to fully collaborate with each other, to share and combine expertise and resources to create a unified telehealth technical assistance capability with agile and market leading educational tools, consulting and support capabilities. The technical assistance resources will be created to meet needs of telehealth networks, practitioners or organizations across the nation. It is anticipated that awards will: (A) providing technical assistance, training, and support, and providing for travel expenses, for health care providers and a range of health care entities that provide or will provide telehealth services; (B) disseminating information and research findings related to telehealth services; (C) promoting effective collaboration among telehealth resource centers and the Office; (D) conducting evaluations to determine the best utilization of telehealth technologies to meet health care needs; (E) promoting the integration of the technologies used in clinical information systems with other telehealth technologies; (F) fostering the use of telehealth technologies to provide health care information and education for health care providers and consumers in a more effective manner; and (G) implementing special projects or studies under the direction of the Office. If technical assistance provided to a specific organization or provider exceeds ten hours, a TRC may charge a reasonable fee for continuing assistance or refer the entity to consultants or other resources for ongoing assistance. Any fees received by TRCs must be used to supplement the HRSA award activities and must be listed and explained in reports to OAT.</Description>

        <Description>American Conservation Experience (ACE), one of the 18 national agreement holders was selected based on the information received after posting a request for information. ACE was able to recruit and hire the intern&amp;#8217;s for the last amount and provide them with a larger stipend. The intern is given a work plan when they arrive; one of the activities on the work plan is to develop an independent project that aligns with their personal interest and career goals and will help the monument better protect the resources. The parks resource manager serves as the selecting official and direct supervisor for the interns. The interns work side by side with the resource and interpretation staff to complete assigned duties. The Recipient is a member of the American Conservation Experience who was awarded a Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00015 allowing American Conservation Experience to participate in specific tasks, and can provide the necessary activities involved in this particular task while providing an effective outcome for NPS and the objectives of this research/educational project. The interns work directly with park staff to learn about how the different divisions within a park site work together to ensure that the site is protected for future generations of park visitors. The interns gain knowledge about interpretation, resource management, facility management and administration. The interns work with the public presenting Jr. Ranger and curriculum based activities. They help the park to do public outreach at local parades and fairs. The interns develop environmental education activities. Specifically they develop the kids in the parks programs every Saturday during July and August. Those programs talk about the biodiversity of the plants and animals at Homestead. </Description>

        <Description>This is supplemental Funding Opportunity. Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity appear below:&amp;#8226; Development Aid from People to People (DAPP) Namibia Under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, as part of the President&amp;apos;sEmergency Plan, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services&amp;#8217; Centers forDisease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC) works with host countries and other keypartners to assess the needs of each country and design a customized program ofassistance that fits within the host nation&amp;apos;s strategic plan.HHS/CDC focuses on two or three major program areas in each country. Goals andpriorities include the following:&amp;#8226; Achieving primary prevention of HIV infection through activities such asexpanding confidential counseling and testing programs and building programs toreduce mother-to-child transmission;&amp;#8226; Improving the care and treatment of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections(STIs) and related opportunistic infections by improving STI management;enhancing the care and treatment of opportunistic infections, includingtuberculosis (TB); and initiating programs to provide anti-retroviral therapy(ART); and&amp;#8226; Strengthening the capacity of countries to collect and use surveillance data andmanage national HIV/AIDS programs by expanding HIV/STI/TB surveillanceprograms and strengthening laboratory support for surveillance, diagnosis,treatment, disease monitoring and HIV screening for blood safety.Under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, as part of the President&amp;#8217;sEmergency Plan, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) works withhost countries and other key partners to assess the needs of each country and design acustomized program of assistance that fits within the host nation&amp;#8217;s strategic plan.The President&amp;#8217;s Emergency Plan is seeking a partner to implement rural and limitedurban (in informal settlements of Windhoek), confidential HIV counseling, testing andrelated interventions in six regions of Namibia. These six regions are required in the firstyear of the project; should funding permit, the project would be expanded to additionalregions during the five-year project period. Grantee activities include providingconfidential HIV counseling, testing and related interventions, including routine testing inmedical and health-care settings and house-to-house and community testing, toindividuals and linking individuals to already-existing HIV care in the area.The regions in question, Omusati, Oshana, Oshikoto, Ohangwena, Kavango, Caprivi, andKhomas have the highest rates of HIV in Namibia, as high as 39.4 percent among womenwho attend prenatal care in the district of Caprivi, according to the 2006 sentinelsurveillance survey. With the exception of the Khomas Region which includes thecapital city of Windhoek, the remaining regions are in the north, where the majority ofthe population of Namibia resides. The northern regions include one of the main routesfor overland transportation traffic in Africa. Additionally, many northern Namibians,particularly men, migrate from the north to the south each year to work in the servicesector in Windhoek or to mining and agricultural areas in the south.

        <Description>Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are listed below: &amp;#8226; Potentia Namibia Under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, as part of the President&amp;apos;s Emergency Plan, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services&amp;#8217; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC) works with host countries and other key partners to assess the needs of each country and design a customized program of assistance that fits within the host nation&amp;apos;s strategic plan and partnership framework. HHS/CDC focuses primarily on two or three major program areas in each country. Goals and priorities include the following: &amp;#8226; Achieving primary prevention of HIV infection through activities such as expanding confidential counseling and testing programs linked with evidence based behavioral change and building programs to reduce mother-to-child transmission; &amp;#8226; Improving the care and treatment of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and related opportunistic infections by improving STI management; enhancing laboratory diagnostic capacity and the care and treatment of opportunistic infections, interventions for intercurrent diseases impacting HIV infected patients including tuberculosis (TB); and initiating programs to provide anti-retroviral therapy (ART); &amp;#8226; Strengthening the capacity of countries to collect and use surveillance data to manage national HIV/AIDS programs by expanding HIV/STI/TB surveillance programs and strengthening laboratory support for surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, disease monitoring and HIV screening for blood safety. In an effort to ensure maximum cost efficiencies and program effectiveness, HHS/CDC also supports coordination with and among partners and integration of activities that promote Global Health Initiative principles. As such, grantees may be requested to participate in programmatic activities that include the following activities: &amp;#8226; Implement a woman- and girl-centered approach; &amp;#8226; Increase impact through strategic coordination and integration; &amp;#8226; Strengthen and leverage key multilateral organizations, global health partnerships and private sector engagement; &amp;#8226; Encourage country ownership and invest in country-led plans; &amp;#8226; Build sustainability through investments in health systems; &amp;#8226; Improve metrics, monitoring and evaluation; and &amp;#8226; Promote research, development and innovation. The purpose of this program is to provide human resources services to recruit suitably qualified and experienced (preferably Namibian) individuals to meet Emergency Plan objectives. The successful applicant will assist the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) and the U.S. Government (USG) in recruiting candidates on behalf of the interview committee, which will consist of personnel from the MOHSS and HHS/CDC. These collaborative activities will help fill a substantial human resource capacity gap within the MOHSS to meet the goals and objectives of Namibia&amp;apos;s five-year National Strategic Framework (from years 2011to 2015) and the President&amp;apos;s Emergency Plan. Cooperative efforts will lead to expanded availability and quality of HIV/AIDS-related services, including programs to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), male circumcision, HIV testing and counseling (HCT), and comprehensive HIV/AIDS care, including cotrimoxazoole prophylaxis, isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT), and anti-retroviral treatment (ART) for adults and children throughout the country. Additionally, through special initiative funding, the grantee will scale-up HIV/AIDS treatment services in priority regions in Namibia with high disease burden.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this FOA is to provide CBA to OAH-funded TPP grantees in five key priority areas. OAH currently funds 58 grantees to replicate evidence-based TPP programs(Tier 1)and 26 grantees to develop and evaluate new and innovative approaches to preventing teen pregnancy(Tier 2). CBA is defined as the transmission of knowledge and building of skills to enhance the ability of organizations to implement,evaluate,and sustain TPP programs. CBA can encompass diverse strategies and approaches,including but not limited to,training and follow-up support, technical assistance, coaching, mentoring, peer-to-peer support, syntheses of available research and best practices, development of resources and tools, and virtual learning. Each application will address one priority area to provide CBA. (1) Program Implementation &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; includes, but is not limited to, program planning, using an implementation science framework, maintaining fidelity when implementing an evidence-based or evidence-informed program, adapting evidence-based TPP programs, recruitment and retention of youth and their families to participate in TPP programs, ensuring quality implementation, strategies for effectively engaging youth and families, reaching vulnerable populations (e.g., youth in out-of-home care, youth in juvenile detention, runaway and homeless youth, expectant and parenting teens), and using data to make decisions. (2) Community Mobilization and Sustainability &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; includes, but is not limited to, mobilizing the community to support the TPP program, effectively engaging a Community Advisory Group and Youth Leadership Council, developing and implementing a plan for sustainability that addresses the 8 key factors included in the OAH Sustainability Framework - Create an Action Plan, Assess the Environment, Be Adaptable, Secure Community Support, Integrate Programs and Services, Build a Team of Leaders, Create Strategic Partnerships, and Secure Diverse Financial Opportunities.(3) Implementing Programs in a Safe and Supportive Environment for Youth &amp;amp; their Families &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; includes, but is not limited to, creating safe spaces for program implementation, ensuring programs are culturally and linguistically appropriate, ensuring programs are inclusive and affirming of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) youth, using a trauma-informed approach in TPP programs, and applying Positive Youth Development practices when interacting with youth.(4) Establishing and Maintaining Linkages and Referrals to Youth-Friendly Health Care Services &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; includes, but is not limited to, identifying and recruiting organizations who provide youth-friendly healthcare services, assessing organizations to ensure services are youth friendly and accessible, developing protocols and procedures for making referrals, developing and disseminating a referral guide, training program staff to make referrals, and assessing the outcomes of the referrals and linkages made.(5) Communication and Dissemination &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; includes, but is not limited to, developing strategic dissemination and communications plans, identifying key stakeholder audiences, assessing communication preferences of program stakeholders, developing key messages, developing communications strategies and products to match stakeholder needs and preferences, sharing success stories, packaging programs to be implementation ready, publishing and presenting program results and lessons learned, and effectively managing controversy.Over the five-year project period, the national CBA providers are expected to (1) assess the CBA needs of all OAH-funded TPP grantees, (2) develop an annual coordinated CBA plan (3) provide CBA to the TPP grantees using diverse approaches that are designed to best meet the needs of the grantees, (4) evaluate the CBA provided and make continuous quality improvements, and (5) disseminate CBA products, lessons learned, etc. The priorities,content,and approach for CBA may differ across TPP grantees. All TPP grantees are expected to receive some level of CBA from each of the national CBA providers each year, but the type of CBA and level of intensity is expected to vary depending on the needs of the individual grantee. OAH expects that each national CBA provider will provide three levels of CBA to the TPP grantees: (1) Low-intensity - designed to meet the needs of all or most TPP grantees; likely to be delivered over a short period of time and/or in a format that is designed for immediate use.(2) Medium-intensity - more targeted, focused CBA that is designed to address a specific topic or is tailored for a smaller subset of TPP grantees.(3) High-intensity &amp;#226;&amp;#128;&amp;#147; individualized CBA that is designed and tailored to address a specific grantee need; likely to occur through multiple interactions and over a longer period of time for a small number of grantees. OAH will fund five cooperative agreements, each of which will provide CBA in one of the five priority areas. OAH will not fund more than one cooperative agreement per priority area. Funded national CBA providers will be expected to coordinate and collaborate with each other and with OAH to assess grantee needs and develop annual coordinated CBA plans. In addition, the applicant funded to provide CBA in the area of program implementation will be designated as the lead national CBA provider and will be responsible for ensuring coordination and collaboration across the five funded organizations. The program implementation national CBA provider can apply for up to an additional $75,000 to fulfill the additional leadership expectations.</Description>

        <Description>Grants funded under this initiative will implement one of the recommendations of the Interagency Federal Working Group on the Intersection of HIV/AIDS, Violence against Women and Girls, and Gender-Related Health Disparities: to enhance federal efforts to address HIV and intimate partner violence (IPV) among homeless and marginally housed women and girls. These grants will also help further the goals and objectives of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), which calls for enhanced collaboration at the Federal, State and community level, among diverse agencies and partners to maximize efficient use of resources to achieve its goals. The activities funded under this NOFA will support the NHAS goals &amp;#8211; to reduce HIV infection; to increase access to care and improve health outcomes for person living with HIV/AIDS; and to reduce HIV-related disparities. These goals will be accomplished through improved cross-agency coordination, resource utilization and service integration among HIV/AIDS housing providers and domestic violence service providers. This NOFA announces funds available for projects that provide housing assistance and supportive services to low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS who are also victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, including any minors and dependents living with such persons. Each successful applicant under this initiative will receive two separate one-time only, non-renewable grants from HUD: (1) a HOPWA grant, and (2) a Transitional Housing Assistance Program grant. HOPWA grant funds will be used for housing assistance for program participants, coordination and planning activities, and grant management and administration. Transitional Housing Assistance grant funds will be used to provide supportive services for program participants. As a result of project efforts, communities will be assisted in the development of a Housing and Services (HAS) Model to be issued at the end of the third year of operation. This HAS Model document will be an administrative function and should provide clear lessons learned and best practices for providing housing assistance and appropriate supportive services for persons living with HIV/AIDS who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Each HAS Model will be shared with the public, and lessons learned through these grantee efforts will help inform national and community policy and actions.</Description>

        <Description>The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announces the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Commercial Driver&amp;apos;s License Program Implementation (CDLPI) grant program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to solicit applications from State agencies, local governments, as well as other persons and organizations representing government agencies that support CDLPI activities. The goal of the national Commercial Drivers License (CDL) program is to reduce the number and severity of commercial motor vehicle crashes in the United States by ensuring that only qualified drivers are eligible to receive and retain a CDL. This goal focuses on maintaining the concept that for every driver, there is only one driving record and only one licensing document, commonly referred to as &amp;quot;One Driver One License One Record&amp;quot;. States are required to conduct knowledge and skills testing before issuing a CDL; to maintain a complete and accurate driver history record for anyone who obtains a CDL; and to impose driver disqualifications as appropriate.</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this announcement is to fund a Family Planning National Training Center for Service Delivery Improvement (FPNTC-SDI) through a cooperative agreement. The overarching goal of OPA is to improve reproductive health outcomes for men, women and adolescents by reducing teen and unplanned pregnancies, supporting optimal birth spacing, lowering the rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), and improving birth outcomes. The FPNTC-SDI will contribute to these goals by supporting the sustained delivery of quality family planning services. Quality family planning services were defined in U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and OPA clinical recommendations entitled Providing Quality Family Planning Services (QFP), which were published in CDC MMWR in April 2014. [1]QFP defines family planning services as those that help individuals and/or couples achieve their desired number and spacing of healthy children, which include: contraceptive services, pregnancy testing and counseling, services to help clients achieve pregnancy, basic infertility services, STD and other preconception health services. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Embassy Beirut is pleased to announce that funding is available through the U.S. Embassy&amp;#8217;s Local Grants Program (ELGP). The U.S. Embassy Beirut Local Grants Program seeks to bolster civil society by assisting underserved and/or underprivileged communities in Lebanon not currently receiving USG assistance through other ongoing programs. We are particularly interested in projects aimed at assisting communities that are hosting displaced Syrians, such as through economic empowerment, youth volunteering initiatives, and conflict resolution activities. In addition, we welcome projects that promote ethnic and religious tolerance and acceptance and that enlighten youth to the dangers of sectarianism and political extremism. These grants are implemented by members of civil society, including individuals, non-governmental organizations, civic groups, reform networks, and academic institutions that are committed to supporting democratic values and the active participation of all individuals in social, political, and economic life.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH15ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2016, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned.

        <Description>The new anti-corruption activity will capitalize on existing USAID/Jamaica and Government of Jamaica (GOJ) endeavors and create new opportunities for promoting community-based partnerships in building pubic demand that will combat corruption and strengthen integrity; raise the advocacy skills and overall capacity of investigative, prosecutorial and enforcement professionals; and to ensure that key anti-corruption legislations are neither stalled, gutted nor shelved. The new anti-corruption activity will also be innovative as it aims to: engage youth in a more robust manner including use of media which is more class and youth sensitive; build the capacity of the GOJ Judiciary and other systems to assume technical training responsibility; strengthen media on their reporting of the issues; build a cadre of other anti-corruption advocates; and focus on key additional political codes of conduct. Integrated approaches will respond to the needs of victims and witnesses of corruption; establish mechanisms that will widen the anti-corruption network and encourage sustainable interventions; and support activities that seek to respond to emerging issues in the anti-corruption landscape, including but not limited to economic and fiscal oversight programs through the use of sub-awards. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P16AC00082 Project Title Evaluate Displacement of Birds by Activities Associated with Recreational Use in Denali National Park &amp;amp; Preserve Recipient University of Washington Total Anticipated Award Amount $179,000 Cost Share $0.00 Anticipated Length of Agreement 4 Years Anticipated Period of Performance May 1, 2016-April 30, 2020 Award Instrument CESU task agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 100703, Cooperative Study Units CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; Resources of the National Park System Single Source Justification Criteria Cited CESUs have already been competed under Master Agreement P16AC00003 Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW Recreation and other human activities impact bird communities in natural areas by direct disturbance and associated changes in infrastructure and habitats to support recreational activities. Some birds such as Gray Jays may respond positively to changes in natural habitats such as the building of campgrounds that might provide food resources while other birds like Golden Plovers may respond negatively to disturbance by recreational users such as hikers that might flush them from their ground nests potentially leading to higher predation risk for eggs and chicks. In Denali National Park and Preserve, anecdotal evidence points to a decrease in the number and diversity of birds inhabiting areas around the Park Road and developed campgrounds and rest areas. Long-term surveys aimed at monitoring abundance of birds along the Denali Park Road have noted declines in some bird species, but it is unknown whether these declines are due to changes in recreational use or are park-wide changes in bird distribution or abundance. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN This study will evaluate the distribution and abundance of birds in areas of development and high human use versus less disturbed habitats in the park. Research may also investigate impacts to nesting behavior and success. The study will provide the National Park Service with critical information aimed at protecting bird resources in Denali. This project will engage a graduate student to conduct research in Denali in support of completion of a Master&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Degree. Outreach products and presentations created during the study will improve the public understanding of bird communities in the park and increase awareness of steps they may take to reduce potential negative impacts to birds. Reports and publications will provide new knowledge of bird community response to human disturbance to the scientific community as well as to interested land managers. Workshops held to solicit observations of changes in bird communities from area residents will engage the local community in a dialogue about stewardship of avian resources in Denali National Park. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The recipient will hire and support a graduate research assistant, provide academic guidance to the student leading to the completion of a Master&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s degree, direct study design and project implementation to meet goals, complete field work, manage data and complete data analyses, and cooperate with the NPS to complete project objectives. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: Providing training (eg. Bear safety), provide local housing, assist in recruitment of the graduate student, provide mentoring and oversight of field work, provide input into study design and review products, and provide field supplies. </Description>

        <Description>The overall goal of the Organic Transitions Program (ORG) is to support the development and implementation of research, extension and higher education programs to improve the competitiveness of organic livestock and crop producers, as well as those who are adopting organic practices. In FY 2014, ORG will continue to prioritize environmental services provided by organic farming systems in the area of soil conservation and climate change mitigation, including greenhouse gases (GHG). Two new priorities have been added to support (1) the development of educational tools for Cooperative Extension personnel and other agricultural professionals who advise producers on organic practices and (2) the development of cultural practices and other allowable alternatives to substances recommended for removal from the National Organic Programs National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances. Practices and systems to be addressed include those associated with organic crops, organic animal production, and organic systems integrating plant and animal production.</Description>

        <Description>Sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking are serious problems on college and university campuses. Congress created the Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus Program (hereinafter referred to as the Campus Program) in recognition of the unique issues and challenges that colleges and universities face in preventing and responding to these crimes. This program is authorized by 42 U.S.C. &amp;#167; 14045b. The Campus Program encourages a comprehensive coordinated community approach that enhances victim safety, provides services for victims and supports efforts to hold offenders accountable. The funding supports activities that develop and strengthen victim services and strategies to prevent, investigate, respond to and prosecute these crimes. The development of campus-wide coordinated responses involving campus victim service providers, law enforcement officers, health providers, housing officials, administrators, student leaders, faith-based leaders, representatives from student organizations, and disciplinary board members is critical. To be effective, campus responses must also link to local off-campus criminal justice agencies and service providers, including local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors&amp;#8217; offices, courts, and nonprofit, nongovernmental victim advocacy and victim services organizations. Campuses are encouraged to create or revitalize large-scale efforts that treat sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking as serious offenses by adopting policies and protocols, developing victim services and programs that prioritize victim safety, ensuring offender accountability, and implementing effective prevention approaches. Colleges and universities should demonstrate to every student that these crimes will not be tolerated, that perpetrators will face serious consequences, and that holistic services are available for victims. Please see the Campus TA supplemental document at http://www.justice.gov/tribal/file/811236/download for more information on strategies that campuses can use to implement the program requirements. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the new grant is to continue the independent analysis of the Grassland Bypass Project as well as maintain the project website. The recipient will use the funds to publish finalized reports on the webpage as well as maintain past reports and historical information on the project. This grant will allow SFEI to continue providing public access to all of the Grassland Bypass Project data. This will benefit the public by providing them free access to data as well as the technical analysis generated by the project Data Collection and Review Team. This will allow for transparency and accountability on behalf of Reclamation to the public. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The Recipient will be responsible for carrying out the Scope of Work in accordance with the terms and conditions state herein. The Recipient shall adhere to Federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and codes, as applicable, and shall obtain all required approvals and permits. If applicable, the Recipient shall also coordinate and obtain approvals from site owners and operators. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (2) CONTINUATION Single Source Justification Description: A sole source justification is recommended in this financial assistance agreement because the applicant is uniquely qualified based on their long history and extensive knowledge of the Grassland Bypass Project. SFEI has been conducting work on this project since 1998. They have published data, reviewed annual reports, and participated in DCRT meetings. Their long history has provided them with a vast familiarity of the program and has helped them establish a good working relationship with project stake holders. They have also operated and maintained the GBP website for many years, which serves as a single repository for all of the data, reports, and analysis related to the project. It would cost considerably more money and staff/contractor time to get a new recipient up to speed on the almost 20 year history of the project, develop a brand new website platform, and upload all of the projects past reports and relevant documents. It is in the best interest of the government to award this agreement as a single-source because it will save the government a significant amount of time, money and resources. STATUTORY AUTHORITY Public Law 86-488, Section 1(a) and 5 of San Luis Unit of the Central Valley Project Section 1(a) &amp;#8211; To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to construct the San Luis Unit of the Central Valley Project, California, to enter into an agreement with the State of California with respect to the construction and operation of such unit, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That (a) for the principal purpose of furnishing water for the irrigation of approximately five hundred thousand acres of land in Merced, Fresno, and Kings Counties, California, hereinafter referred to as the Federal San Luis unit service area, and as incidents thereto of furnishing water for municipal and domestic use and providing recreation and fish and wildlife benefits, the secretary of the interior (hereinafter referred to as the Secretary) is authorized to construct, operate, and maintain the San Luis unit as an integral part of the Central Valley project. The principal engineering features of said unit shall be a dam and reservoir at or near the San Luis site, a forebay and afterbay, the San Luis Canal, the Pleasant Valley Canal, and necessary pumping plants, distribution systems, drains, channels, levees, flood works, and related facilities, but no facilities shall be constructed for electrical transmission or distribution service which the Secretary determines, on the basis of an offer of a firm fifty year contract from a local public or private agency, can through such contract be obtained at less cost to the Federal Government than by construction and operation of Government facilities. The works (hereinafter referred to as joint-use facilities) for joint use with the State of California (hereinafter referred to as the State) shall be the dam and reservoir at or near the San Luis site, forebay and afterbay, pumping plants, and the San Luis Canal. The joint-use facilities consisting of the dam and reservoir shall be constructed, and other joint-use facilities may be constructed, so as to permit future expansion or the join-use facilities shall be constructed initially to the capacities necessary to serve both the Federal San Luis unit service area and the State&amp;#8217;s service area, as hereinafter provided. In constructing, operating, and maintaining the San Luis unit, the Secretary shall be governed by the Federal reclamation laws (Act of June 17, 1902 (32 Stat. 388), an Acts amendatory thereof supplementary thereto). Construction of the San Luis unit shall not be commenced until the Secretary has (1) secured, or has satisfactory assurance of his ability to secure, all rights to the use of water which are necessary to carry out the purposes of the unit and the terms and conditions of this Act, and (2) received satisfactory assurances for the State of California that it will make provision for a master drainage outlet and disposal channel for the San Joaquin Valley, as generally outlined in the California water plan, Bulletin Numbered 3, of the California Department of Water Resources, which will adequately serve, by connection therewith, the drainage system for the San Luis unit or has made provision for constructing the San Luis interceptor drain to the delta designed to meet the drainage requirements of the San Luis unit as generally outlined in the report of the Department of the Interior, entitled &amp;#8220;San Luis Unit, Central Valley Project,&amp;#8221; dated December 17, 1956. Section 5 &amp;#8211; In constructing, operating, and maintaining a drainage system for the San Luis unit, the Secretary is authorized to permit the use thereof by other parties under contracts the terms of which are as nearly similar as is practicable to those required by the Federal Reclamation laws in the case of irrigation repayment or service contracts and is further authorized to enter into agreements and participate in construction and operation of drainage facilities designed to serve the general area of which the lands to be served by the San Luis unit are a part, to the extent the works authorized in section 1 of this Act contribute to drainage requirements of said area. The Secretary is also authorized to permit the use of the irrigation facilities of the San Luis unit, including its facilities for supplying pumping energy, under contracts entered into pursuant to Section 1 of the Act of February 21, 19811 (36 Stat. 925;43 U.S.C.523). </Description>

        <Description>At the First Pangolin Range States Meeting (Vietnam, June 2015), co-hosted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and the government of Vietnam, delegates developed a unified conservation action plan to protect pangolins, the most trafficked mammals in the world. The action plan includes a suite of recommendations to address management and enforcement issues to protect pangolins against over-exploitation as a result of trafficking and unsustainable legal trade. Among other things,participants of the meeting including African range country representatives present evaluated the status of and trade in African pangolin species and agreed that each African pangolin species qualifies for inclusion in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Appendix I. In addition, the meeting participants recommended the urgent adoption of law enforcement and management measures to fight against illegal trade in pangolins. With the Seventeenth meeting of the CITES Conference of the Parties (CoP17; September-October 2016, Johannesburg, South Africa) fast approaching, the CITES Management Authority of Senegal has invited the U.S. government, through U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service International Affairs Program (AIA), to co-organize and sponsor a West and Central African&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;U.S. CITES coordination meeting to be held in Dakar, Senegal, February 24-26, 2016. Within the Service, AIA is responsible for implementing CITES and serves as the U.S. CITES Management and Scientific Authorities. The purpose of the proposed meeting is to facilitate consultations between West and Central African countries to help identify priorities and issues of common interest to promote at CoP17, including additional conservation measures for African pangolins. The Service is providing this funding opportunity to plan, organize, and manage a meeting in collaboration with the Government of Senegal in order to facilitate government-to-government coordination between key West and Central African range countries and the United States which supports three of AIAs high priorities for the African region combatting wildlife trafficking, CoP17 preparation, and CITES capacity building.</Description>

        <Description>Given the substantial and growing scientific and professional literature on soundscapes and night skies and their increasing importance and implications for outdoor recreation, we propose to prepare a paper that integrates and synthesizes this literature. The understanding of these resources, related resources and the effect of noise and artificial light on the environment affects protection of park resources and values. In order to better understand the implications, the literature needs to be collected, reviewed, and summarized.</Description>

        <Description>Addendum No. 3 - Saving Lives at Birth: A Grand Challenge for Development to the USAID GH DIA BAA Summary Introduction: United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Government of Norway, the Bill &amp;amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, Grand Challenges Canada, UK&amp;#8217;s Department of International Development (DFID), and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) have joined together to launch the sixth round of Saving Lives at Birth: A Grand Challenge for Development. Together, we call for groundbreaking prevention and treatment approaches for pregnant women and newborns in poor, hard-to-reach communities around the time of childbirth. An estimated 2.6 million stillbirths, 2.7 million neonatal deaths and 303,000 maternal deaths occur globally each year, signaling a major gap in interventions specifically around childbirth and the early postnatal period &amp;#8211; a time when mothers and babies are most vulnerable and global progress in reducing mortality has been particularly poor. This gap in interventions is particularly acute in poor, underserved communities and among women who are disadvantaged. Innovative ideas that can leapfrog conventional approaches to address inequities and inequalities of care are critical in surmounting these gaps. If we are to accelerate substantial and sustainable progress in reducing maternal and newborn deaths and stillbirths at the community level- and contribute to the goals and targets of Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality and the Every Newborn Action Plan - we need to foster and scale innovative prevention and treatment approaches across three domains: (1) Science &amp;amp; technology; (2) Service delivery; and (3) Demand-side innovation that empowers pregnant women, their families, and their communities to practice healthy behaviors and be aware of and access health care during pregnancy, childbirth and the early postnatal period, especially the first two days after birth. We are particularly interested in investing in and supporting approaches that integrate the latest behavior change approaches with scientific and/or technological advances and service delivery platforms into radical solutions for widespread impact on maternal and newborn health. We encourage these ideas that integrate scientific / technological, social and business innovation to foster sustainability.</Description>

        <Description>Eligible Applicants: Health Systems Trust This announcement seeks to provide funding to eligible and successful organizations to enable them to implement the (Determined, resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe) DREAMS initiative. In 2015 PEPFAR, Bill &amp;amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and Nike Foundation entered into a $210 million partnership &amp;#8211; the DREAMS initiative. This initiative seeks to reduce new HIV infections in adolescent girls and young women in ten sub-Saharan African countries including South Africa. DREAMS involves using multiple evidence-based interventions that go beyond the health sector, to address the structural drivers that directly and indirectly increase girls&amp;#8217; HIV risk, including poverty, gender inequality, sexual violence, and lack of education. The identified five districts for the DREAMS Initiative are eThekwini, uMgungundlovu and uMkhanyakude in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN); and the City of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni in Gauteng (GP). Within these 5 districts there are 31 sub-districts and DREAMS will focus in 19 high burden and high transmission sub-districts. The objectives of the DREAMS initiative are to: 1. Empower Girls and Young Women 2. Mobilize Communities 3. Strengthen Families 4. Provide Social Protection This FOA supports the goals and objectives of the DREAMS initiative to &amp;#8211; reduce new HIV infections in 15-24 year old adolescent girls and young women by 25% by the end of 2016 and 40% by the end of 2017. The objectives of the DREAMS initiative are related to improving the lives of adolescent girls and young women leading to decreased risk for HIV, increasing secondary school enrollment, attendance and completion, decreasing violence and unintended pregnancy. </Description>

        <Description>Eligible Applicants: Epicentre Risk Management This announcement seeks to provide funding to eligible and successful organizations to enable them to implement the (Determined, resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe) DREAMS initiative. In 2015 PEPFAR, Bill &amp;amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and Nike Foundation entered into a $210 million partnership &amp;#8211; the DREAMS initiative. This initiative seeks to reduce new HIV infections in adolescent girls and young women in ten sub-Saharan African countries including South Africa.

The identified five districts for the DREAMS Initiative are eThekwini, uMgungundlovu and uMkhanyakude in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN); and the City of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni in Gauteng (GP). Within these 5 districts there are 31 sub-districts and DREAMS will focus in 19 high burden and high transmission sub-districts. The objectives of the DREAMS initiative are to: 1. Empower Girls and Young Women 2. Mobilize Communities 3. Strengthen Families 4. Provide Social Protection This FOA supports the goals and objectives of the DREAMS initiative to &amp;#8211; reduce new HIV infections in 15-24 year old adolescent girls and young women by 25% by the end of 2016 and 40% by the end of 2017.

Programming will assist informal sector workers, including street vendors, domestic workers, and workers in low-productivity microenterprises, tailoring interventions to address the needs and employability of women and the youth. Outputs would include policies for improving respect for and raising awareness of rights and working conditions, increasing capacity of local and national government to respond to the informal worker?s needs, skills upgrading, worker organizing, and putting more workers on the road to formalization. This initiative should also build the capacity of Tunisian NGOs that work to support advocacy and awareness of these issues, including in areas outside the capital.</Description>

In 2015 PEPFAR, Bill &amp;amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and Nike Foundation entered into a $210 million partnership &amp;#8211; the DREAMS initiative. This initiative seeks to reduce new HIV infections in adolescent girls and young women in ten sub-Saharan African countries including South Africa.

Within these 5 districts there are 31 sub-districts and DREAMS will focus in 19 high burden and high transmission sub-districts. The objectives of the DREAMS initiative are to: 1. Empower Girls and Young Women 2. Mobilize Communities 3. Strengthen Families 4. Provide Social Protection This FOA supports the goals and objectives of the DREAMS initiative to &amp;#8211; reduce new HIV infections in 15-24 year old adolescent girls and young women by 25% by the end of 2016 and 40% by the end of 2017. The objectives of the DREAMS initiative are related to improving the lives of adolescent girls and young women leading to decreased risk for HIV, increasing secondary school enrollment, attendance and completion, decreasing violence and unintended pregnancy. </Description>

        <Description>Eligible Applicants: WITS Reproductive Health and HIV Institute This announcement seeks to provide funding to eligible and successful organizations to enable them to implement the (Determined, resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe) DREAMS initiative. In 2015 PEPFAR, Bill &amp;amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and Nike Foundation entered into a $210 million partnership &amp;#8211; the DREAMS initiative. This initiative seeks to reduce new HIV infections in adolescent girls and young women in ten sub-Saharan African countries including South Africa. DREAMS involves using multiple evidence-based interventions that go beyond the health sector, to address the structural drivers that directly and indirectly increase girls&amp;#8217; HIV risk, including poverty, gender inequality, sexual violence, and lack of education. The identified five districts for the DREAMS Initiative are eThekwini, uMgungundlovu and uMkhanyakude in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN); and the City of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni in Gauteng (GP). Within these 5 districts there are 31 sub-districts and DREAMS will focus in 19 high burden and high transmission sub-districts. The objectives of the DREAMS initiative are to: 1. Empower Girls and Young Women 2. Mobilize Communities 3. Strengthen Families 4. Provide Social Protection This FOA supports the goals and objectives of the DREAMS initiative to &amp;#8211; reduce new HIV infections in 15-24 year old adolescent girls and young women by 25% by the end of 2016 and 40% by the end of 2017. The objectives of the DREAMS initiative are related to improving the lives of adolescent girls and young women leading to decreased risk for HIV, increasing secondary school enrollment, attendance and completion, decreasing violence and unintended pregnancy. </Description>

        <Description>PRM seeks concept notes for research projects to strengthen evidence-based humanitarian decision making by PRM and its partners worldwide. Concept notes must focus on one of the following topics: accountability to affected populations, private sector engagement, cash and voucher assistance or another compelling humanitarian research topic not covered in this list. This solicitation is the first step in a two-part process. After reviewing concept notes, PRM will invite selected organizations to expand their submissions into full 15-page single year proposals, with detailed budgets. Eligible applicants include (1) Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; (2) Nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; (3) Private institutions of higher education; and (4) Public and State controlled institutions of higher education. Please note that PRM will not fund research focusing only on one NGO program unless it is uniquely innovative programming; conducted in an independent manner; and would generate findings that are credible, generalizable, and relevant to a range of other humanitarian stakeholders. PRM will prioritize funding for projects that aim to produce practical policy or programmatic recommendations that are applicable to more than one specific population or country. All final reports should include tools, data, findings, and recommendations for policy and program implementation. Recommendations should be concrete, actionable, and directed to specific actors.</Description>

        <Description>90% of Americans consume too much sodium, increasing their risk for high blood pressure. Americans consume an average of 3,500 mg of sodium each day, considerably more than the recommended limits for sodium intake in the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (http://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015/guidelines/). Nearly 400,000 deaths each year are attributed to high blood pressure and decreasing sodium intake could prevent thousands of deaths annually. More than 75% of the sodium Americans eat comes from restaurant and packaged foods&amp;#8212;not the salt added at the table or during home cooking. Decreasing personal sodium intake can be difficult, even for motivated persons. Not only is sodium ubiquitous in the food supply, but sodium content can vary significantly within food categories and some of the highest contributors to sodium intake may not taste salty. Nutrition labeling and package messaging can be misunderstood by consumers. In September 2010, CDC funded a demonstration project to support sites in conducting community-level sodium reduction work under Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DP10-1019. Based on lessons learned, CDC awarded funding in 2013 for communities to implement and evaluate promising, broad-reaching and sustainable sodium reduction strategies in priority venues under FOA DP13- 1301. Results from these efforts demonstrate that organizational and community-level interventions have the potential to increase the availability and accessibility of lower sodium options in multiple venues and entities (e.g. worksites, hospitals, distributive meal programs, congregate meal programs, early care and education settings). More work is needed to determine whether these interventions result in sustainable, population-wide reductions in sodium consumption, how these strategies influence the availability and identification of lower sodium products, and to what extent effective strategies are scalable, resulting in increased impact. Reviews of the available evidence and lessons learned from these communities also show that meaningful sodium reduction at the population level requires changes in the food supply. This FOA will fund grantees to implement and evaluate promising, broad-reaching, and sustainable strategies in priority venues and entities with an added focus on collaboration with the food sector (e.g. vendors, suppliers, and/or related trade association affiliates). Grantees will conduct sodium reduction efforts as part of a sustainable comprehensive strategy aimed at improving the food environment (e.g., assisting in compliance with FDA&amp;#8217;s final determination regarding partially hydrogenated oils, increasing fruits and vegetables, etc.) in support of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. </Description>

        <Description>Issuance Date: January 13, 2016 Due date for Questions: January 26, 2016, 1400 Bangladesh Time Application deadline: February 17, 2016, 1400 Bangladesh Time Subject: Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO) Number: RFA-388-16-000001: Feed the Future Bangladesh Rice and Diversified Crops Activity (RDC) The subject Notice of Funding Opportunity is seeking concept notes in the process for selecting an organization for a Cooperative Agreement from qualified US and non-US organizations to fund an activity titled the Feed the Future Bangladesh Rice and Diversified Crops Activity (formerly known as Strengthening Agriculture Production and Market Systems). The purpose of the Activity: USAID/Bangladesh intends to award a five year assistance activity not to exceed $24.5 million under the US Government&amp;#8217;s Feed the Future (FTF) Initiative, through a competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO), subject to the availability of funding. The Feed the Future Bangladesh Rice and Diversified Crops activity will improve small-holder rice and rotation crop productivity and market system competitiveness by using facilitation and market systems approaches to catalyze systemic changes through partnerships with the private sector and local actors. Small-holder productivity will improve by strengthening input and seed systems and expand the adoption of improved rice and rotation crop technologies. Market competitiveness will increase by improving value chain efficiencies, access to finance, and post-harvest services. The activity will incentivize crop diversification with rotational crops such as value-added rice varieties, lentils, mustard, mung beans, sunflowers, and other crops with the overall objective of improved food security through systemic changes that increase rural incomes. The Feed the Future Bangladesh Rice and Diversified Crops (RDC) activity will have two phases: an initial phase to broadly test and prove core strategies and a second phase of scaling and expanding successful approaches to include additional partnerships, markets and beneficiaries. The RDC activity will support Government of Bangladesh (GoB) priorities and the recently finalized Seventh Five-Year Plan Agricultural Development Strategy and is also aligned with the Bangladesh Country Investment Plan (CIP), a five-year plan to ensure sustainable food security through public investment in agriculture, food security and nutrition. RDC is aligned with USAID/Bangladesh&amp;#8217;s current Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) and the FTF multi-year strategy, and will support the new CDCS framework (2016-2021) by working to sustainably reduce poverty and improve food security. The RDC activity contributes directly to the global goal of FTF, working to sustainably reduce poverty and improve food security, and furthermore supports the GoB&amp;#8217;s goal &amp;#8220;for achieving poverty reduction through accelerated agricultural investment and growth, contributing to the transformation to a middle-income country by 2021.&amp;#8221; The GoB has been an active partner in planning and implementing USAID/Bangladesh&amp;#8217;s development programs. </Description>

        <Description>The Gulf Coast Joint Venture (GCJV) is a regional, public/private partnership for advancing the conservation of important bird habitats within the GCJV region through biological planning, implementation of habitat conservation actions, focused monitoring and evaluation of the planning and implementation processes, and communication. General oversight of the partnership is provided by the GCJV Management Board. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provides basic administrative funding to the GCJV to cover costs associated with coordination; biological planning; monitoring and evaluation; communications and outreach; and the development and implementation of habitat conservation actions. The GCJV may in turn award federal assistance for annual or multi-year activities (i.e., projects) within those categories that advance the partnership&amp;#191;s mission and objectives. Priority activities of the GCJV partnership include development of models linking target populations of priority birds to quantified habitat objectives, development of GIS models to spatially prioritize habitat conservation activities, implementation of habitat projects to fulfill habitat objectives and spatial priorities, development and testing of monitoring approaches for habitats and populations of priority birds, and targeted research to refine population-habitat models. </Description>

        <Description>Just as the Cold War gave rise to new ideas and fields of study such as game theory and Kremlinology, the challenges facing the world today call for a broader conception and application of national power that goes beyond military capability. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) is interested in receiving proposals for the Minerva Research Initiative (http://minerva.dtic.mil), a university-led defense social science program seeking fundamental understanding of the social and cultural forces shaping U.S. strategic interests globally. The Minerva Research Initiative (Minerva) emphasizes questions of strategic importance to U.S. national security policy. It seeks to increase the Department&amp;#8217;s intellectual capital in the social sciences and improve its ability to address future challenges and build bridges between the Department and the social science community. Minerva brings together universities and other research institutions around the world and supports multidisciplinary and cross-institutional projects addressing specific topic areas determined by the Department of Defense. The Minerva program aims to promote research in specific areas of social science and to promote a candid and constructive relationship between DoD and the social science academic community.The Minerva Research Initiative competition is for research related to the five (5) topics and associated subtopics listed below. Innovative white papers and proposals related to these research topics are highly encouraged. Detailed descriptions of the topics can be found in Section IX, &amp;#8220;Specific Minerva Research Initiative Topics.&amp;#8221; I. Identity, Influence, and MobilizationCulture, identity, and securityInfluence and mobilization for changeII. Contributors to Societal Resilience and ChangeGovernance and rule of lawMigration and urbanizationPopulations and demographicsEnvironment and natural resourcesEconomicsIII. Power and DeterrenceGlobal orderPower projection and diffusion Beyond conventional deterrenceArea studiesIV. Analytical methods and metrics for security research V. Innovations in National Security, Conflict, and Cooperation Proposals will be considered both for single-investigator awards as well as larger teams. A team of university investigators may be warranted because the necessary expertise in addressing the multiple facets of the topics may reside in different universities, or in different departments of the same university. The research questions addressed should extend across a fairly broad range of linked issues where there is clear potential synergy among the contributions of the distinct disciplines represented on the team. Team proposals must name one Principal Investigator as the responsible technical point of contact. Similarly, one institution will be the primary recipient for the purpose of award execution. The relationship among participating institutions and their respective roles, as well as the apportionment of funds including sub-awards, if any, must be described in both the proposal text and the budget. The Minerva Research Initiative is a multi-service effort. Ultimately, however, funding decisions will be made by OSD personnel, with technical inputs from the Services. </Description>

        <Description>The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat. 917 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 669-669b, 669-669k, now known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 1938. The purpose of this Act was to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges. Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The Congressional Resource Committee had broad support from sportsmen&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s organizations who stated that States were not using their possible allotments to support these programs or there was not a consistent level of effort to further the future of hunting. As a result, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;enhance&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#157; existing hunter education or shooting range programs. Additional information about Section 10 is available at: http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/HunterEd/HE.htm.</Description>

        <Description>NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation&amp;#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement R16AN20003 Project Title Grassland Bypass Project &amp;#8211; Biological Monitoring in the San Joaquin River Recipient California Department of Fish and Wildlife Principal Investigator / Program Manager Andy Gordus (CA Department of Fish and Wildlife) 1234 E. Shaw Avenue Fresno, CA Anticipated Federal Amount $239,087.26 Cost Share None Total Anticipated Award Amount $239,087.26 New Award or Continuation? New Award Anticipated Period of Performance January 2016 &amp;#8211; December 2020 Award Instrument Grant Statutory Authority San Luis Unit, Public Law 86-488, Section 1(a) and 5 CFDA # and Title 15.527 San Luis Unit, Central Valley Project Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications Reclamation Point of Contact Stacy Brown (USBR &amp;#8211; SCCAO) OVERVIEW This agreement supports activities related to the Grassland Bypass Project. The project has separated agricultural drainage water from wetland water supply channels since October 1996, significantly improving the quality of water and habitat in central California. The overall purposes of the Grassland Bypass Project are to: 1. To extend the San Luis Drain (SLD) Use Agreement to allow the Grassland Area Farmers more time to acquire funds and develop, test and implement feasible drain-water treatment and disposal technologies to meet revised Basin Plan Objectives for full implementation, i.e., zero discharge into Mud Slough (North) and the San Joaquin river by December 31, 2019; 2. To continue collection and discharge of contaminated agricultural drain-water from the Grassland Drainage Area (GDA) into the SLD and away from wetland water supply conveyance channels for the period 2010 to 2019; and, 3. To facilitate drainage management that maintains the viability of agricultural lands in the GDA and promotes improvement in water quality in the San Joaquin River over the life of the project. Under the 2010 Agreement for Continued Use of the San Luis Drain No. 10-WC-20-3975, the Grassland Area Farmers will use a portion of the San Luis Drain to convey agricultural drainage water to Mud Slough (North), a tributary of the San Joaquin River. The 2010 Agreement specifies the loads of salts and selenium that can be discharged in accordance with the revised 2015 Waste Discharge Requirements. A monitoring program is being conducted to measure the effects of the project on water quality, biology, toxicity, sediment accumulation, and selenium quality. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The objective of this grant is to continue funding for biological sampling to monitor the effects of the GBP on biota in the San Joaquin River. This agreement will fund the collection of fish and invertebrates at one location on the San Joaquin River. The sampling requirements are specified in the 2015 Grassland Bypass Monitoring plan. The objectives to be fulfilled by the recipient are listed below. Objective 1: Collection of Biological Samples Sampling will occur at Site R (San Joaquin River at China Island). This site is located in the San Joaquin River downstream of the Mud Slough confluence. This site is representative of the impact the project is having on the river. Table 1 below outlines the expected sampling analysis and frequency. Table 1: Biological Sampling Outline Analysis to be Performed Frequency of Collection Physicals of Water (flow, EC, Temp, DO, pH) Quarterly (March, June, September, December)* Selenium in Whole-body Fish Mercury in Whole-body Fish Fish Community Assessment Selenium in Fish Muscle Tissue Mercury in Fish Muscle Tissue Selenium in Aquatic Insects Biannual (June &amp;amp; September)* Mercury in Aquatic Insects * The months suggested under frequency are subject to change based on contractor needs (weather, staffing, site conditions etc.). If the sampling schedule is expected to deviate from those months the contractor will inform the Reclamation. All samples will be collected, handled, and analyzed in accordance with the 2015 GBP Monitoring Program and associated Quality Assurance Project Plan. The recipient will arrange to have samples analyzed by a Reclamation approved lab of their choosing. The recipient will also receive the completed results of the analysis directly from the laboratory for interpretation. Funds have been provided in the budget to have this laboratory work completed. Objective 2: Annual Data Interpretation and Reporting The results of the sample collection will be compiled and analyzed on an annual basis. This analysis will coincide with Reclamations drafting of the Annual Report for the GBP. The recipient will write one chapter interpreting the data that has been collected for that year and comparing it to any relevant data that was collected in the past. These results will be compiled into a chapter and sent to Reclamation for review. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT Reclamation will be responsible for federal monitoring and oversight of activities performed under this agreement. Such responsibilities include review of financial status and performance reports. Additional monitoring activities could include site visits, conference calls, and other on and off-site monitoring activities. At the Recipient&amp;#8217;s request, Reclamation may also provide technical assistance to the Recipient in support of the scope of work and objectives of this agreement.Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS Single Source Justification Description: A sole source justification is recommended in this financial assistance agreement because the applicant is uniquely qualified based on their long history and extensive knowledge of the Grassland Bypass Project (GBP). California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has been conducting work on this project since its inception in 1996. They have published collected biological data, published and reviewed annual reports, and participated in DCRT meetings. Their long history has provided them with an extensive familiarity of the program and has helped them establish a good working relationship with project stake holders. They own the land where the current monitoring site is located and are familiar with the sampling protocols and laboratory analysis. They are also familiar with the annual report requirements and the layout in which project data should be reported. This is a benefit to Reclamation because it will not require staff to provide any additional training/staff time outside of the general GOTR duties. This will save the government time, money and resources. STATUTORY AUTHORITY San Luis Unit, Public Law 86-488, Section 1(a) and 5 Section 1(a) &amp;#8211; To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to construct the San Luis Unit of the Central Valley Project, California, to enter into an agreement with the State of California with respect to the construction and operation of such unit, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grant Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (State(s)) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitat, including species that are not hunted or fished. Activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan (Wildlife Action Plan) that was to be submitted by October 1, 2005 and must be approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Wildlife Action Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species with the greatest conservation need and taking into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project which directly contributes to the conservation of wildlife species of greatest conservation need and their habitats, and is consistent with the development or implementation of the State&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Wildlife Action Plan. </Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Network is a national consortium of federal agencies, academic institutions, tribal, state, and local governments, nongovernmental conservation organizations (300 partners). The Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (DSCESU) is a cooperative network, transcending political and institutional boundaries, which creates innovative opportunities for research, education, and technical assistance in support of the management and stewardship by partner agencies of the Desert Southwest&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s natural, cultural, and social resources. The DSCESU has a unique collaborative relationship with research scientists, end users of research products, the public, and educators who are trained to bridge the gap between researchers, science users and educators. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) consists of two awards, described below as projects 1 and 2. Project 1: The Yuma Field Office includes many acres along the lower Colorado and Gila Rivers. Extensive damming and conversion to upland has re-characterized the lands along the river that once were natural system, but are now dominated by invasive species. An increase in wildland fires in these areas also greatly affect the reduction in native vegetation and increase in invasive species. Rehabilitation efforts to improve sites offer migratory birds and other wildlife species native habitat for foraging and potential nesting. The Mittry Lake Fire in 2015 burned acres of native marsh and riparian habitat. This area is home to the largest population of the Federally endangered Yuma clapper rail. The native riparian habitat also provides migratory habitat for the southwestern willow flycatcher. The Mittry Lake ESR Plan outlines replacing what was lost in the fire in order to provide the much needed habitat to these and other wildlife species. Project 2: The Yuma Field Office manages many acres within the Sonoran and Mohave Deserts. Recreation, renewable energy and development have led to the decrease in desert habitats. Within these deserts live the Flat-tailed Horned Lizard (FTHL), currently a California proposed listed species, and many other upland species. Monitoring, collecting, and analyzing data, are key to creating recommendations for future management strategies to state and Federal agencies within Arizona and California. b. Objectives: Project 1: The principle purpose of this agreement is to improve wildlife habitat by offering properly functioning native riparian habitats along the lower Colorado and Gila Rivers. Wildlife habitat improvement projects increases partnerships, public involvement, and prime native riparian habitat within degraded and minimally functioning systems. The objective of this agreement is for the public to gain an appreciation for wildlife and their habitats within Arizona so that wildlife are available for future generations to enjoy. The Mittry Lake Fire Emergency Stabilization Plan directly relates to the Yuma Resource Management Plan and associated Biological Opinion for improving degraded habitats, replacing what was lost by wildland fires and extending habitat resources so that the public can enjoy those species in which it utilizes. Project 2: The principle purpose of this agreement is to improve wildlife habitat by offering properly functioning wildlife habitat within the Sonoran and Mohave Deserts. Wildlife habitat improvement projects increases partnerships, public involvement, and prime native riparian habitat within degraded and minimally functioning systems. The objective of this agreement is for the public to gain an appreciation for wildlife and their habitats within Arizona and California so that wildlife are available for future generations to enjoy. The FTHL Interagency Committee&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Resource Management Strategy directly relates to the Yuma Resource Management Plan and associated Biological Opinion for improving degraded habitats, replacing what was lost by development and extending habitat resources so that the public can enjoy those species in which it utilizes. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Study Abroad Branch within the office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition to administer the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in International Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(C)(3) may submit proposals for the purpose of administering a scholarship program for credit-bearing academic study or internships outside the United States by U.S. undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need (Pell Grant recipients). The intent of the authoring legislation for the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program is to broaden the U.S. student population that participates in study abroad by focusing on those students who would not otherwise study outside the U.S. due to financial constraints. The Gilman Program provides scholarships to enable U.S. citizen undergraduate students of limited financial means to pursue credit-bearing academic studies or internships abroad. Such foreign study expands the understand of other countries and cultures among U.S. students who may not otherwise be able to study or intern overseas, thereby better preparing these U.S. students to assume significant roles in an increasingly global economy and society.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: Through the American Indian Science and Engineering Society&amp;#8217;s (AISES) Summer Internship Program, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Phoenix District Office (PDO) seeks to form a partnership with AISES to conduct a 10-week Summer Work Experience Program for post-secondary students during the summers of 2016 - 2021. The purpose of the program is to provide students with hands-on work experience opportunities to gain relevant skills and knowledge, to prepare for their transition to the workplace, to explore career options, and to develop professional networks. Benefits include fostering human resource diversity within the BLM and opportunities to recruit participating students into the workforce. AISES administers the 10-week summer internship program which would be funded by BLM. This is a continuation of BLM AZ L10AC2026. b. Objectives: The objectives of this proposal are: Create a pool of experienced and talented students, leading to a more ethnically diverse work force through exposure of the students to research, development, technology, administration, and land management; relate academic study with practical application in natural resource land management; encourage students to pursue careers relevant to public service and natural resource stewardship; and increase the pool of qualified minority candidates for recruitment into the BLM Pathways program. These students will also be well-qualified for employment in other federal and state land management agencies across the country. These candidates will contribute to the diversification of the federal workforce and will enable agencies to recruit directly from an under-represented local population base.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Statutory Eligibility Requirements, written into the DFC Act and the subsequent Reauthorization of the DFC Program by Congress in 2006, are inherent in the DFC Mentoring Program. (See Table 2 of the RFA: Statutory Eligibility Requirements for the DFC Mentoring Program of the RFA). Please read the Statutory Eligibility Requirements for the DFC Mentoring Program carefully and provide the information necessary to meet all of the requirements. Failure to meet any single eligibility requirement will cause the application to be deemed ineligible and the application will not move forward to Peer Review. Should your application fail to meet the eligibility requirements, the individual listed as the Business Official on the Application for Federal Assistance will receive a letter stating why the application was deemed ineligible. No new material or information may be added to the original application after it has been submitted. Final authority lies with the DFC Administrator to determine the eligibility of an application. All DFC Mentoring applications will be jointly screened by ONDCP and SAMHSA to determine whether each applicant meets all the Statutory Eligibility Requirements for the DFC Mentoring Program contained in Table 2 of the RFA. Applications submitted by eligible DFC grantees will then be scored through a Peer Review process according to the evaluation criteria described in Part V of the RFA, Application Review Information.    Section I-III of the RFA includes a summary of the Statutory Eligibility Requirements for the DFC Mentoring Program and the minimum documentation applicants must provide to meet the eligibility criteria. &amp;#147;Where to Document&amp;#148; sections of that section indicate where to include the required information within the application (e.g., as an attachment, in the Project Narrative, in the Budget Narrative). Each year, DFC Mentoring grantees must demonstrate compliance with all of the Statutory Eligibility Requirements to be considered for continued funding.</AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) are accepting applications for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Drug Free Communities Mentoring Program (DFC Mentoring) grants. The purpose of the DFC Mentoring Program is to provide grant funds to existing DFC grantees, so that they may serve as Mentors to newly-formed and/or developing coalitions that have never received a DFC grant. The DFC Program was created by the Drug Free Communities Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-20). DFC Mentoring grants were established as a component of the DFC Support Program when the program was reauthorized in 2001 (Public Law 107-82, 115 Stat. 814). The DFC Mentoring Program was also included in the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-469). The latest reauthorization extended the program until 2012. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA. The primary goal of the Mentoring grant is to assist newly forming coalitions in becoming eligible to apply for DFC funding on their own. It is the intent of the DFC Mentoring Program that, at the end of the Mentoring grant, each Mentee coalition will meet all of the Statutory Eligibility Requirements of the DFC Program and will be fully prepared to compete for the DFC grant on their own. Grantees will be expected to achieve this goal by implementing the following objectives: (1) Strengthen Mentee coalition&amp;#146;s organizational structure; (2) Increase Mentee coalition&amp;#146;s leadership and community readiness to address youth substance use problems in the Mentee community; and (3) Assist the Mentee coalition in working through a strategic planning process that will result in a comprehensive Action Plan. Through the DFC Mentoring Program, the Mentor coalition will develop mentoring activities that will support and encourage the development of the Mentee coalition(s) that are focused on the prevention of youth substance use. Funding through this grant is intended to provide the Mentee coalitions with the training and technical assistance necessary to ensure formation of a strong and effective community coalition. Coalitions that have been awarded DFC Mentoring grants represent a cross-section of communities from every region in the Nation. In FY 2011, ONDCP awarded 20 new DFC Mentoring Grants and 12 Mentoring Continuation grants. More information about DFC and DFC Mentoring grants can be found on the DFC website: www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/potential-applicants-mentoring-program.</Description>

        <Description>Chronic hepatitis B and C represent a major health problem for the United States. Approximately 3.2 million Americans are chronically infected with hepatitis C virus and 1.25 million with chronic hepatitis B virus, with an estimated 55,000 hepatitis C virus- related deaths and 2,000-4,000 hepatitis B related deaths each year. Data from longitudinal cohorts of patients with chronic hepatitis B and C virus infection are needed to understand the spectrum of disease, the natural history, and the public health impact of chronic viral hepatitis. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to understand the effectiveness, cost, benefits, and adverse effects of evolving antiviral therapy for hepatitis B virus infection and hepatitis C virus infection on a population basis. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is for an undergraduate summer school program in radiochemistry. This summer school will focus on training undergraduates in the fundamentals of radiochemistry with an emphasis on the nuclear fuel cycle, with an emphasis on the back end of the fuel cycle. Only a handful of universities exist where students can work with and study radionuclides. This has had a negative impact on our Nation&amp;#8217;s ability to solve national challenges related to radiochemistry. The Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. nuclear industry have mission-critical workforce needs in this field. The Department has a responsibility to create and enhance the training opportunities for the next generation of radiochemists. To meet these needs DOE purposes this funding opportunity for the implementation of a radiochemistry summer school program that will provide undergraduate students an opportunity to receive additional training in this field.</Description>

        <Description>The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The goal of this FIC R25 program is to support educational activities that foster a better understanding of biomedical, behavioral and clinical research and its implications, by strengthening research ethics capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through increasing the number of LMIC research intensive institutions that can provide advanced education in research ethics. Programs supported by this initiative will equip scientists, health professionals and academics in these countries with in-depth knowledge of the ethical principles, processes and policies related to international clinical and public health research. Programs should be designed to strengthen the critical competencies needed to provide research ethics education, ethical review leadership and expert consultation to LMIC researchers, their institutions, governments and international research organizations. </Description>

        <Description>Public lands in Utah are home to many thousands of unique and irreplaceable archaeological, historical, and paleontological resources that represent Utah&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s 13,000 year human history and millions of years of biological prehistory. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers approximately 23 million acres of public land in Utah with eleven local field offices, which are coordinated by the BLM Utah State Office in Salt Lake City (http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en.html). BLM-Utah&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s State Office&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Cultural Resources Management and Paleontology Programs coordinate the management, preservation, and outreach efforts for these resources.Cultural Resources Management Program manages and preserves the archaeological and historical locations, structures, and objects that represent a unique component of our national heritage. This program also engages with Native American tribes and the public as stakeholders in these resources. BLM-Utah&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Paleontology Program manages and preserves paleontological resources as a fragile, nonrenewable scientific record and an important component of America&amp;apos;s natural heritage. These programs manage these archaeological, historical, and paleontological resources, or &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;heritage resources,&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#157; for educational, scientific, cultural, and recreational values. The BLM Utah State Office&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Cultural Resource Management and Paleontology Programs are seeking to establish partnerships to collaboratively encourage the public to learn about and engage with heritage resources in Utah, increase volunteer opportunities, increase engagement with Native American tribes, and encourage studies on public lands. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Pediatric Research Network Program competition. Support in the form of a cooperative agreement is available from the Division of Research, Training and Education (DRTE), part of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). We are aware that preparation of this application will involve a considerable commitment of time and energy. Please read the funding opportunity announcement carefully before completing the application. The MCH Pediatric Research Network Program exists to support a pediatric applied research network that promotes coordinated multi-centered research activities, focused on translating research to practice that should result in health and health service improvements when applied directly into pediatric primary care and/or service settings. These funds should be used to identify more effective approaches to children&amp;apos;s health in primary care settings. This will be accomplished through the development and maintenance of a national network of primary care child health professionals who collaborate in the development and implementation of research designed to increase critical child health care knowledge. The network must include research that addresses the four MCHB Strategic Research Issues (see Appendix B). The program goals of this project will be achieved through the development and maintenance of a national network of primary care practitioners who will collaborate to implement common research protocols aimed at enriching child health care. This cooperative agreement will support the establishment and maintenance of a research network that will: o Develop new ideas and conduct research studies on critical child health issues. o Increase the capacity of network-affiliated primary care practitioners and other affiliates to generate and refine original research studies that address key issues affecting child health and pediatric healthcare. o Develop network infrastructure to enable performance of innovative research projects that integrate cutting-edge technologies and advanced methodologies. o Develop evidence-based guidelines based on network research findings for use by practitioners and that will result in improvements in child health care services. o Develop and mentor new researchers from among network members. o Demonstrate use of state-of-the-art technologies such as web-based meetings and webinars to conduct various network activities and communication. o Disseminate critical information on its research findings and guidelines developed to health professionals, policy makers, and the public via peer review publications, presentations, websites, webinars, and other new media. It is expected that the network establish the infrastructure to carry out specific critical child health research studies supported by MCHB and external funding sources. </Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDBs).  LWDBs must apply in partnership with their county or municipal governments and their county, municipal, or regional correctional facilities (this excludes any state or Federal correctional facilities that may be located in the local commuting area) and provide evidence of this partnership in their application. In states where the State Workforce Development Board (SWDB) carries out the functions of the LWDB pursuant to a DOL-approved waiver, or in states designated as a single-state local area, as established under Section 107 of WIOA, the SWDB is an eligible applicant.  In states that operate unified correctional systems where there are no county, municipal, or regional correctional facilities but instead all correctional institutions fall under the jurisdiction of the State, LWDBs may partner with the state-run correctional facility in the local commuting area.  Applicants may include current or former Department grantees; new applicants that have not previously received a Department discretionary award are also encouraged to apply.    Funds for these grants are to be used as start-up money to establish jail-based AJCs or to expand existing career centers within the jail that provide reentry services.  Organizations that received funding under LEAP FOA-ETA-15-03 are only eligible to receive funding under this Announcement if they propose new and separate projects that will not serve participants at any of the same correctional facility locations as those projects funded under LEAP FOA-ETA-15-03.  This restriction would not prohibit an applicant that received an award under LEAP FOA-ETA-15-03 from partnering with the same correctional system for the purposes of this funding opportunity announcement if the applicant proposes to serve individuals at a different physical location within the same correctional system.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This Announcement solicits applications for LEAP-2. The purpose of this pilot program is to provide incarcerated individuals with workforce services prior to release and link them to a continuum of services offered through their community-based AJCs post-release. These grants are job-driven and build connections to local employers that will enable transitioning offenders to secure employment. The jail-based specialized AJCs will enable transitioning offenders to prepare for employment prior to release and continue with Individual Employment Plans (as described in Section IV) in the community once released. The aim of these centers is to improve the workforce outcomes for transitioning offenders. These jail-based specialized AJCs will build upon the successful and effective strategies that currently exist in similar correctional facility-based one-stop centers across the country. The jail-based specialized AJCs align with the President&amp;#8217;s job-driven vision by ensuring that transitioning offenders are prepared to meet the needs of their local labor markets and have the skills valued by employers. The jail-based specialized AJCs provide an integrated approach that will allow the public workforce system and correctional systems to leverage resources and services to improve employability for this population. Teaching transitioning offenders foundational skills such as job readiness, employability, and job search strategies, in addition to providing other related interventions, can provide access to employment and reduce the likelihood of reoffending. The employer connections that the jail-based specialized AJCs will build will inform program curricula and ensure relevance to the needs of local businesses and jobs. In addition to linking the jail-based and community-based AJCs, the LWDBs must partner with their county, municipal, or regional correctional facilities as well as their county or municipal governments. Additional, non-required, program partners may include non-profit supportive services providers, such as philanthropic, community-based, and faith-based organizations, and other local government agencies that provide relevant services and resources. Strong support from community collaborators can lead to greater program sustainability and support better participant outcomes. </Description>

        <Description>The Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950 (Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act), 64 Stat. 430 as amended; 16 U.S.C. 777-777m, was passed on August 9, 1950. It was modeled after the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to create a parallel program for management conservation, and restoration of fishery resources. The Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program (SFR) is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, flies and artificial baits, who pay an excise tax on these items to the U.S. Treasury. An amendment in 1984 (Wallop-Breaux Amendment) added new provisions to the Act by extending the excise tax to previously untaxed items of sport fishing equipment. SFR provides funding to restore, conserve, manage, or enhance sport fish populations and the public use and benefits from these resources; and to provide boating access to public waters. Additional information about SFR is on the internet at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SFR/SFR.htm.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Government believes that building mutual understanding is a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy abroad. U.S. embassies and consulates abroad seek to tell America&amp;#8217;s story through explaining U.S. policies, values, culture, and history. To that end, the U.S. Mission to China (Embassy Beijing and Consulates General Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Wuhan) seeks to support activities that, whether through existing partnerships between eligible U.S. institutions and their Chinese counterparts or through new ties, help explain American culture to the people of China. Such programming will enhance and broaden the cultural and academic outreach of the U.S. Mission in China. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing seeks to ensure that programming is representative of the depth and breadth of U.S. culture, values, polices, and history. The U.S.-China relationship is one of the United States&amp;#8217; most important bilateral relationships. A great deal of work remains to be done in fostering mutual understanding between the peoples of the two nations. Cultural exchanges provide excellent opportunities to help people better understand others&amp;#8217; history, values, and traditions. The aim of this project is to help increase overall understanding of U.S. society and culture by the people of China. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part C Capacity Development Program to assist current Part C recipients in their efforts to strengthen their organizational infrastructure and to increase their capacity to develop, enhance, or expand access to high quality HIV primary health care services for low-income, uninsured, underinsured, and underserved people living with HIV (PLWH). The FY 2016 RWHAP Part C Capacity Development Program provides one-time funds to build local capacity of RWHAP Part C recipients to support a system-wide activity that addresses a gap in their local HIV care continuum. Funding under this program is not intended to support long-term activities. Instead, the proposed activity should be of a short-term nature and should be completed by the end of the one-year project period for this funding opportunity. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is for existing RWHAP Part C recipients only. Applicants may submit proposals for one of the following categories to address the gaps and need for a comprehensive continuum of outpatient HIV primary care services: 1) HIV Care Innovation or 2) Infrastructure Development. Applicants must select one category and one type of activity from the selected category. Applicants may propose an expansion of activities currently supported with Part C Capacity funding; however, the same activity proposed and funded in FY 2015 will not be considered for funding in FY 2016. 1) HIV Care Innovation HIV Care Innovation activities should identify and address a specific point or points along the HIV care continuum to target for maximum impact. This funding will assist RWHAP Part C Early Intervention Services (EIS) recipients in supporting a system-wide activity that addresses a gap or gaps in the local HIV care continuum. In addition, HIV Care Innovation activities support the National HIV/AIDS Strategy: Updated to 2020 (NHAS 2020) goals by funding focused activities to address identified gaps in the HIV care continuum. The following types of activities are allowable for funding under this announcement. Applicants applying under this category should select only one of the four activities listed below: HIV Case Finding - Train designated staff in HIV case finding techniques through local health departments and/or through CDC-funded training centers (http://nnptc.org/) and apply these skills in the clinical setting to link persons into care after HIV testing to address one or both of the following stages of the HIV care continuum: (1) Linkage to HIV medical care or (2) Retention in HIV medical care. Motivational Interviewing - Train staff in Motivational Interviewing through the local AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs) or other resources to engage patients in care. Work with both staff and patients on retention and facilitate staff application of the training in the clinical setting to address one or more of the following stages of the HIV care continuum: (1) Linkage to HIV medical care, (2) Retention in HIV medical care, or (3) Appropriate prescription of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). Patient-Based Treatment Adherence - Implement an innovative, patient-based treatment adherence program to provide long-term adherence support for chronically non-adherent patients and apply the program to address the one or both of the following stages of the HIV care continuum: (1) Appropriate prescription of ART or (2) HIV viral suppression. Patient Chronic Disease Self-Management - Institute a clinic-wide Chronic Disease Management Program for HIV/AIDS based on the Stanford program or other resources for patient self-management (e.g., http://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/final-reports/ptmgmt/index.html) to engage patients in long-term disease control and apply the program to address one or both of the following stages of the HIV care continuum: (1) Retention in HIV medical care or (2) HIV viral suppression. b) Infrastructure Development Infrastructure development activities should identify and address a specific point or points along the HIV care continuum to be targeted for maximum impact. This funding opportunity will assist RWHAP Part C EIS recipients by promoting organizational infrastructure development and increasing the capacity of organizations to enhance their ability to meet the changing health care landscape. Funding is intended to increase the capacity of the organization to respond to Affordable Care Act opportunities, which leads to the delivery or improvement of HIV primary care services, supports the President&amp;#8217;s HIV Continuum of Care Initiative and addresses one or more of the NHAS 2020 goals. Applicants applying under this category should select only one of the four activities listed below: Electronic Health Records (EHR) - Purchasing and implementing EHRs to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of patient health care. Describe the plan to implement the EHR and the specific linkages to the HIV care continuum stage(s) that will be addressed: (1) Linkage to HIV medical care, (2) Retention in HIV medical care, (3) Appropriate prescription of ART, or (4) Achieving a high HIV viral load suppression rate. HAB requires that any EHR or EHR component purchased, in whole or in part, with Federal funds meets the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) requirements for certification. To improve the quality of clinical data collected, HAB further requires that any EHR or EHR component be configured to report appropriate clinical data electronically for HAB reporting (http://www.hrsa.gov/healthit/ehrguidelines.html). Additionally, HHS has released standards for the meaningful use of EHRs. This is supported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) with an incentive program for both Medicaid and Medicare providers. Clinical care providers under RWHAP Parts A [Section 2604 (g)(1) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act], B [Section 2617 (b)(5)(F) of the PHS Act] and C [Section 2652 (b)(1) of the PHS Act] are required to participate in state Medicaid programs. Consequently, it is expected that such RWHAP recipients and providers will begin to use a certified EHR in the provision of care (http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/index.html?redirect=/EHRincentiveprograms/). Financial Management Systems - Purchasing and implementing a financial accounting system or software capable of managing multiple sources of funding for HIV primary care services, as well as actual expenses by line item and enhancing the billing process for third party reimbursement. The proposed system can address, but is not to be limited to, budget management topics, such as fiscal oversight, subrecipient monitoring, and tracking expenditures by cost categories. Applicants are expected to develop protocols and billing policies based on the use of this enhanced system and illustrate how the activity will address one or more of the following stages of the HIV care continuum: (1) Linkage to HIV medical care, (2) Retention in HIV medical care, (3) appropriate prescription of ART, or (4) Achieving a high HIV viral load suppression rate. Management Information System - Identifying, establishing and strengthening administrative, managerial, and management information system (MIS) structures to offer, enhance, or expand comprehensive HIV primary healthcare especially in the context of the Affordable Care Act. In addition, another activity can be the purchase of software to interface CAREWare with existing electronic health records to specifically improve data collection, reporting, and/or quality improvement activities that will address one or more of the following stages of the HIV care continuum: (1) Linkage to HIV medical care, (2) Retention in HIV medical care, (3) Appropriate prescription of ART, or (4) Achieving a high HIV viral load suppression rate. According to statute, HRSA shall give preference to entities that provide primary care services in rural areas or to underserved populations in making awards for this program. More information about these preferences can be found in Section V of this FOA.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>&amp;#8226; States and territories;   o Eligible state applicants are either the State Mental Health Authority (SMHA) or the Single State Agency (SSA).  However, SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s expectation is that both the SSA and the SMHA will work in partnership to fulfill the requirements of the grant.  To demonstrate this collaboration, applicants must provide a letter of commitment from the partnering entity in Attachment 5 of the application.  If the SMHA and the SSA are one entity, applicants must include a statement to that effect in Attachment 5.    &amp;#8226; Local governments; and   &amp;#8226; Communities, which includes other domestic public and private nonprofit entities (e.g. federally recognized AI/AN tribes and tribal organizations, Urban Indian organizations, public or private universities and colleges, and community- and faith-based organizations).    Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN tribe; any legally established organization of AI/ANs which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of AI/ANs in all phases of its activities.  Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval.  A single tribe in the consortium must be the legal applicant, the recipient of the award, and the entity legally responsible for satisfying the grant requirements.   SAMHSA seeks to further expand the impact and geographical distribution of the CABHI-States program and the Grants to Benefit Homeless Individuals-Services in Supportive Housing (GBHI-SSH) program across the nation.  Therefore, grantees that received an FY 2014 (SM-14-010) or FY 2015 (TI-15-003) CABHI-States award or a GBHI-SSH award in FY 2014 or FY 2015 (TI-14-007) are not eligible to apply.  </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grants Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (States) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species of greatest conservation need and take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project. Additional information about the State Wildlife Grants Program is on the web at &amp;#194;&amp;#172;http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SWG/SWG.htm.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) to improve access to HIV oral health services for low-income, underinsured, and underserved people living with HIV (PLWH) and to support related education and training for the delivery of dental care to PLWH. The DRP defrays a portion of unreimbursed dental care costs for low-income, underinsured, and underserved PLWH incurred by accredited dental or dental hygiene education programs recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. This funding opportunity is open to accredited dental education institutions eligible to receive RWHAP Part F funding under section 2692(b)(1)(B) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. This program will reimburse certain costs incurred by eligible entities that have provided uncompensated or partially uncompensated oral health care to PLWH from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. General Recipient Expectations Patient Payment for Services: Applicants must have consistent and equitable policies and procedures related to verification of patients&amp;#8217; financial status, implementation of a sliding fee scale, and ensuring a cap on patient charges for HIV-related services. Program Income: Programs are required to maximize the service reimbursement available from private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and other third-party sources for reimbursable services provided. Programs are required to track and report all sources of service reimbursement as program income on the annual Dental Services Report. All program income earned must be used to improve access to oral health care services for low-income, underinsured, and underserved PLWH and to train dental and hygiene students and dental residents to deliver dental care to PLWH. All program income generated as a result of awarded funds must be used in an &amp;#8220;additive&amp;#8221; manner for the purposes for which the award is made, and may only be used for allowable costs under the award. Please see PCN #15-03 Clarifications Regarding the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program and Program Income (http://hab.hrsa.gov/manageyourgrant/policiesletters.html) for additional information. The RWHAP is the payer of last resort, except for programs administered by or providing the services of the Indian Health Service. Please note that direct or indirect grant funds such as RWHAP Parts A, B, C, and D programs are not program income. Services provided under Part F DRP cannot also be billed to RWHAP Parts A, B, C, or D. Other Financial Management Issues: Programs must have appropriate financial systems in place that provide for internal controls, safeguarding assets, ensuring stewardship of federal funds, and maintaining adequate cash flow to meet daily operations. Programs are required to monitor subrecipients under the grant to ensure they adhere to the requirements of the program including the use of funds. Funds received from DRP must be allocated to the accredited dental education program that provided oral health services to low-income, underinsured, and underserved PLWH. It is the expectation that these reimbursement funds will provide expanded access to oral health care for PLWH. Applicants must ensure that Medicaid billable services are billed to Medicaid. RWHAP funds should be used when payment cannot be expected to be made, i.e., after billing Medicaid, Children&amp;#8217;s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), other public/private health insurance resources, and after billing clients for allowable costs using a sliding fee scale. Because the RWHAP is the payer of last resort and funds for the DRP are limited, applicants must report unreimbursed costs for oral health services not paid for by Medicaid, CHIP, or other public/private health insurance. DRP programs must provide a system to discount patient payment for charges by developing and utilizing a sliding discounted fee schedule that is published and made readily available. While the fee schedule may be based on the patient&amp;#8217;s income or household size and income, the organization must track the patient&amp;#8217;s income and charges imposed. Each program is responsible for creating its own sliding fee scale in accordance with the most recent Federal Poverty Level guidelines. Federal Poverty Guidelines are updated each year in early spring, and are available on the web at https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-research.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Research Center (RHRC) Cooperative Agreement. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to increase the amount of high-quality, impartial, policy-relevant research available to assist health care providers and decision-makers at the Federal, State and local levels better understand the challenges faced by rural communities and provide information that will inform policies designed to improve access to health care and population health. RHRC recipients will conduct policy-oriented health services research on rural issues and synthesize the issues into publically available policy briefs designed to be easily understood by a non-technical audience. The awards provided through the RHRC Cooperative Agreement are designed to provide support for a four-year research center with a specific rural health research area(s) of concentration. This cooperative agreement program will support health services research projects but excludes clinical/biomedical research and the expenditure of funds for delivery of services. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) defines health services research as examining &amp;#8220;how people get access to health care, how much care costs, and what happens to patients as a result of this care.&amp;#8221; The main goals of health services research are to &amp;#8220;identify the most effective ways to organize, manage, finance, and deliver high quality care; reduce medical errors, and improve patient safety.&amp;#8221;[1] [1] Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

        <Description>With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for funding to conduct research and technology development leading to the introduction into practice of new and innovative tools to: -Process large-scale computer networks for digital evidence in a forensically sound manner that preserves the probative value of the evidence that the computer network may contain; or -Process mobile devices voluntarily surrendered to law enforcement by witnesses or victims of an alleged crime, which will discriminate between data that is germane to that crime and that which is not, and which will only collect data that is germane; or -Automatically detect children in pornographic videos of varying quality. Individual applicants may propose to address one or more of these topics, but most do so in separate, discrete applications. Single applications proposing to address more than one topic will not be accepted. </Description>

        <Description>The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Early Comprehensive Childhood Systems Impact (ECCS Impact). The purpose of this program is to enhance early childhood (EC) systems building and demonstrate improved outcomes in population-based children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being indicators using a Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network (CoIIN) approach. An additional goal of the ECCS Impact grants is the development of collective impact expertise, implementation and sustainability of efforts at the state, county and community levels. Up to 15 recipients of the ECCS Impact program will identify one to five (1-5) place-based communities within their state/territory to participate in the Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network (ECCS CoIIN). At least one of the identified communities should be a community receiving state and/or tribal Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) services. Applicants will receive priority points (See Section V. Application Review Information. 2. Review and Selection Process. Funding Priorities) if one of the communities selected to participate is a Promise Zone and/or Rural IMPACT community as defined in Appendix A &amp;#8211; Glossary of Terms. The ECCS CoIIN will be coordinated by the ECCS CoIIN Technical Assistance Center (ECCS CoIIN TAC), which will be established through a cooperative agreement, HRSA 16-179 Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network. See Appendix B for a visual model of the working relationship between the ECCS Impact grantees and the ECCS CoIIN TAC. The ECCS CoIIN TAC will provide intensive, targeted technical assistance to the ECCS Impact recipients and their identified place-based communities on CoIIN processes. The ECCS CoIIN TAC will facilitate three successive 18-month CoIIN cohorts consisting of place-based communities of ECCS Impact recipients utilizing collective impact principles to accelerate or improve results for families. (Section V. Application Review Information. 2. Review and Selection Process. Funding Priorities) see Appendix A &amp;#8211; Glossary of Terms) The overall aim of the ECCS Impact and the ECCS CoIIN TAC is that within 60 months, participating communities will show a 25percent increase from baseline in age appropriate developmental skills among their community&amp;#8217;s three (3) year old children. The secondary aims of the ECCS Impact and ECCS CoIIN TAC are to: strengthen leadership and expertise in continuous quality improvement (CQI) and support innovation among a cohort of recipients representing states/territories and their identified place-based communities. At least one community should be a community receiving state and/or tribal MIECHV services. Applicants will also receive priority points (See Section V. Application Review Information. 2. Review and Selection Process. Funding Priorities) if one of the communities selected is a Promise Zone and/or Rural IMPACT community achieve greater collective impact in early childhood systems at the state, county, and community level, with common aims, shared metrics and measurement systems, coordinated strategies, continuous communication, and a backbone organization at the state, county, and community levels; develop primarily two-generation approaches to drive integration of early childhood services vertically (i.e., within a sector such as health care) and horizontally (i.e., across sectors such as between early care and education and health care); develop and adopt core sets of indicators to measure Early Childhood (EC) system processes and outcome indicators that measure population impact around children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being; and test innovative EC systems change ideas, develop spread strategies and adopt new EC policies for sustaining the systems developed during this project that improve children&amp;#8217;s healthy development and family well-being. An early childhood comprehensive system is defined as an organized, purposeful partnership of interrelated and interdependent agencies/organizations representing health, mental health, social services, families and caregivers, and early childhood education to develop seamless systems of care for children from birth to kindergarten entry. These systems help children grow up healthy and ready to learn by addressing their physical, emotional and social health in a broad-based and coordinated way. A Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network, or CoIIN, is defined as a group of self-motivated people (or organizations) with a collective vision, enabled by the Web to collaborate in achieving a common goal by sharing ideas, information, and work. The CoIIN model provides a platform for collaborative learning and quality improvement toward common goals and benchmarks using rapid cycles of change. Key features include collaborative learning, common benchmarks, coordinated strategies, rapid tests of change, and real-time data to drive real-time improvement. Requirements of the ECCS Impact recipients include the following: The recipient should have an early childhood comprehensive system[1] in place with state/territory agency, and stakeholder leadership participation. Note: Only one entity per state/territory will be chosen for this program. The recipient must partner with a state/territory Advisory Team that provides leadership in implementing the policies and practices necessary to carry out systems work in their respective state/territory organizations and recommends state/territorial-wide system change as a result of the ECCS CoIIN results. Key leaders represented on the state/territory Advisory Team should include: The Governor&amp;#8217;s Office; Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program; Early Childhood Advisory Council/System; Title V leadership; Family engagement leadership (examples might be Family Voices; Strengthening families, etc.); Public and private primary health care (examples might include the state/territory&amp;#8217;s Medicaid/Children&amp;#8217;s Health Insurance program or the person responsible for Medicaid Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment Program; the state/territory &amp;#8217;s primary health care, medical home, and safety net provider organizations such as American Academy of Pediatrics; American Academy of Family Physicians, Pediatric nurse practitioners; HRSA-funded health centers, Part C, state/territory Children with Special Health Needs Division); Mental health service providers (examples might be the state/territory&amp;#8217;s Division of Mental Health; Project Launch grantee); Early childhood education representatives (examples might include state/territory Department of Early Learning; Child Care Administrator; state/territory early childhood educators association (Head Start/Association for the Education of Young Children; Family Child Care Association); School Pre-K organization; and Designated leader(s) from each selected place-based community. Other desirable state/territory partners strongly recommended but not required include: trauma informed care[2] networks, The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), housing, public-private early childhood partnerships, and businesses that support children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being. The recipient must select at least one (1) and up to five (5) place-based communities that are willing and available for participation in ECCS CoIIN cohorts[3] (See Appendix A &amp;#8211; Glossary of Terms). At least one of the identified communities should be a community receiving state and/or tribal Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) services. Applicants will also receive priority points if one of the communities selected is a Promise Zone and/or a Rural IMPACT community. The priority points for Promise Zone and Rural IMPACT communities are to encourage the leveraging and further the impact with other federal initiatives supporting place-based work. (See definitions in Appendix A &amp;#8211; Glossary of Terms). It is up to the applicant to decide the number of place-based communities and their CoIIN teams that it can effectively and efficiently oversee for successful implementation of the CoIIN activities and desired outcomes as outlined. Note: The flexibility of one to five communities is to allow for need identified and readiness of communities to implement CoIIN activities. The recipient must develop teams within its place-based communities to participate in the CoIIN activities described below. Each community team should include: The ECCS Impact Project Director or his/her designee, and the following representatives from the place-based community: Mayor&amp;#8217;s office; City Council office or other official governing body for the place-based community; Family engagement leadership (e.g., local parent organization; Family Voices; Strengthening Families, etc.); Public and private primary health care (e.g., pediatricians, family practice, local American Academy of Pediatrics chapter, local health centers, early intervention, etc.); Mental health representatives (e.g., infant/child mental health consultants; Project Launch grantee); and Early childhood education representatives (e.g., Head Start/Child Care/Family Home Providers; school Pre-K). NOTE: Other representatives from the recipient organization and/or the place-based communities also may be included on the team at the discretion of the recipient. The recipient must, during the course of the project: identify, implement and, if necessary, build a state/territory EC data system for collection and reporting of EC core process and outcome indicators that will be developed or integrated within an existing early childhood data system during the CoIIN process (please note: it is highly encouraged that the system to collect and report indicators for this project be compatible with or incorporated within an existing early childhood data system currently operating in a state-wide/territory-wide capacity); develop state-level ECCS leadership and capacity to facilitate CoIIN implementation and spread; participate in all CoIIN virtual sessions facilitated by the ECCS CoIIN TAC and at least one on site, in person, learning collaborative facilitated by the ECCS CoIIN TAC in person and ensure the community teams attend at least one on site, in person, learning collaborative facilitated by the ECCS CoIIN TAC in person; attend at least one ECCS Impact recipient annual meeting in person; and develop and implement a programmatic and financial sustainability plan to continue activities beyond the duration of the ECCS Impact project period and to engage additional place-based communities within the state/territory to replicate ECCS CoIIN activities for improvement in children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being. Community CoIIN Teams will be required during the course of the award to: become knowledgeable with the science of continuous quality improvement(CQI)[4] and CoIIN[5] processes; participate in a CoIIN, committing to a working period of 48-60 months (three successive 18-month cohorts consisting of one to five communities per participating state/territory), to implement a two-generation approach to improving children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being; attend at least one on site, in person, CoIIN learning collaborative facilitated by the ECCS CoIIN TAC; identify gaps and barriers to attaining the aim of this program and identify state and community policies and procedures that require immediate and longer term attention to ensure EC systems function effectively and achieve measureable outcomes in the improvement of children&amp;#8217;s healthy development and family well-being; adopt the ECCS Impact&amp;#8217;s aim and develop SMART Goals[6] for ECCS CoIIN work for two-generation approaches to children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family wellbeing; submit monthly data and Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycle[7] reports; share progress reports monthly with CoIIN peers representing other recipients and CoIIN faculty; participate in peer-to-peer mentoring and sharing of ideas and insights via periodic conference calls and other forms of communication (i.e. list servs; web chats, etc.); and explore new innovative improvement approaches as they become available (for example Pay for Success[8]). Outcomes desired during the project period: Overall Aim: Within 60 months, communities participating in the CoIIN will show a 25percent increase from baseline in age appropriate developmental skills of their community&amp;#8217;s three (3) year old children. (one-three years) ECCS Impact recipients representing states/territories and their selected communities advance local and state coordination and integration of systems towards improving children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being. An established core set of process indicators for measuring state-level EC system success and a core set of outcome indicators for improvement of children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being at the population level. ECCS Impact recipients representing states/territories adopt a core set of process indicators for measuring state-level EC system success and a core set of outcome indicators for improvement of children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being at the population level for local and state CoIIN activities. ECCS Impact recipients utilize an existing state/territory early childhood data system to collect, store, report and analyze the new process indicators for measuring state-level EC system success and a core set of outcome indicators for improvement of children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being at the population level. (four-five years) Communities, counties, and states/territories adopt and sustain collective impact and collaborative improvement and innovation efforts including policies that were demonstrative to be effective, to spread work to additional communities from this program. Indicators developed through the CoIIN are incorporated in state/territory and public health systems (i.e. in alignment with Title V performance measurement system). Successful system innovations, interventions, and outcome indicators for improvement of children&amp;#8217;s developmental health and family well-being at the population level created are aligned and work in tandem with other state/territory EC initiatives to achieve school readiness.

        <Description>This FOA seeks applications to develop and apply generalizable approaches to characterize the role of candidate functional elements identified by the ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) in specific biological contexts.ENCODE has identified different classes of candidate functional regions based on their correlation with biochemical signatures, but has not tested the majority of those to determine what, if any, biological roles they actually play.This FOA solicits activities that include employing one or more assays to characterize the biological function of candidate elements, testing the impact of natural or engineered genetic variants on element function, or using human diseases or biological systems as test cases to evaluate the approaches. Awardees will also work together to characterize the strengths and weaknesses of the collection of assays funded by comparing their performance, and to identify a set of well-characterized functional elements in healthy and/or disease states. These products are expected to provide an understanding of the utility and generalizability of functional characterization approaches, and to facilitate investigation of the role of genetic variation in human disease. The funded projects will participate in the ENCODE Consortium.</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages approximately 80 small islands in the Chippewa River in seven Wisconsin counties. A basic inventory in 2010 identified several ephemeral ponds on many of these islands. The BLM wishes to learn whether these island habitats exhibit hydrology characteristic of true ephemeral ponds and whether they are used by breeding amphibians. Since flooding may introduce fish into these depressions, and since they are separated from upland habitat by a wide river, it is possible that they are not used by breeding amphibians</Description>

        <Description>The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project has cataloged a significant number of candidate functional elements in the human and mouse (Mus musculus) genomes.These catalogs are being used by the research community to expand on basic biological knowledge, to develop research tools and to interpret the results of disease-mapping studies. Although much progress has been made over the past decade, these catalogs are incomplete. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for research projects to apply state-of-the-art, high-throughput and cost-effective data generation pipelines to develop an expanded catalog of candidate functional elements in the human and mouse genomes.As part of this effort, applicants may map candidate elements in biological samples relevant to specific diseases to help expand the catalog while at the same time informing on how to direct disease studies in the long run. The funded projects will participate in the ENCODE Consortium. </Description>

        <Description>This FOA is being published for informational purposes only. No applications will be solicited. Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are listed below: &amp;#8226; Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) Under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, as part of the President&amp;apos;s Emergency Plan, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services&amp;#8217; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC) works with host countries and other key partners to assess the needs of each country and design a customized program of assistance that fits within the host nation&amp;apos;s strategic plan and partnership framework. HHS/CDC focuses primarily on two or three major program areas in each country. Goals and priorities include the following: &amp;#8226; Achieving primary prevention of HIV infection through activities such as expanding confidential counseling and testing programs linked with evidence based behavioral change and building programs to reduce mother-to-child transmission; &amp;#8226; Improving the care and treatment of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and related opportunistic infections by improving STI management; enhancing laboratory diagnostic capacity and the care and treatment of opportunistic infections; interventions for intercurrent diseases impacting HIV infected patients including tuberculosis (TB); and initiating programs to provide anti-retroviral therapy (ART); &amp;#8226; Strengthening the capacity of countries to collect and use surveillance data and manage national HIV/AIDS programs by expanding HIV/STI/TB/Ebola surveillance programs and strengthening laboratory support for surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, disease monitoring and HIV screening for blood safety; and &amp;#8226; Developing, validating and/or evaluating public health programs to inform, improve and target appropriate interventions, as related to the prevention, care and treatment of HIV/AIDS, TB, Ebola and other opportunistic infections. In an effort to ensure maximum cost efficiencies and program effectiveness, HHS/CDC also supports coordination with and among partners and integration of activities that promote Global Health Initiative principles. As such, grantees may be requested to participate in programmatic activities that include the following activities: &amp;#8226; Implement a woman- and girl-centered approach; &amp;#8226; Increase impact through strategic coordination and integration; &amp;#8226; Strengthen and leverage key multilateral organizations, global health partnerships and private sector engagement; &amp;#8226; Encourage country ownership and invest in country-led plans; &amp;#8226; Build sustainability through investments in health systems; &amp;#8226; Improve metrics, monitoring and evaluation; and &amp;#8226; Promote research, development and innovation (research is not supported by this FOA). The provision of quality laboratory services and the conduct of reliable diagnostic testing are challenging in many international settings where resources are limited. Quality laboratory testing is an integral element of the clinical diagnosis scheme, infectious disease surveillance, and the formation of public health policy. Good laboratory practices prove to be cost-effective, promote reliable and accurate results, contribute to good patient care, and promote a positive attitude towards testing from a patient&amp;#8217;s perspective. </Description>

        <Description>Under this FOA, BETO&amp;#8217;s Advanced Algal Systems Program seeks projects that will develop technologies that are likely to succeed in producing 3,700 gallons of algal biofuel intermediate (or equivalent dry weight basis) per acre per year (gal/acre/yr) on an annualized average basis (not peak or projected) through multiple batch campaigns or on a semi-continuous or continuous basis, in an outdoor test environment by 2020. In general, &amp;#8220;biofuel intermediates&amp;#8221; are biomass-based feedstocks that can replace petroleum-based feedstocks in downstream refining. Biofuel intermediates should be able to be treated as commodities and passed from a producer to a refiner through the supply chain. Biofuel intermediates can be refined into a variety of liquid transportation fuels such as, but not limited to: ethanol, renewable diesel, and renewable jet fuel. The average yield target of 3,700 gal/acre/yr of intermediate must be achieved under conditions that result in favorable lifecycle greenhouse gas reductions and techno-economic analyses (energy return on investment &amp;#8211; energy content of final products/energy input, assuming mature scale deployment of technologies). BETO&amp;#8217;s Advanced Algal Systems Program has a goal of demonstrating, at a process development unit scale, algal biofuel intermediate yield of 2,500 gallons per acre per year by 2018 and 5,000 per acre per year by 2022. This FOA is directed at the interim yield between the two target yields and target years. It is expected that projects selected under this FOA will be well on their way to demonstrating the 2,500 gal/acre/yr (at a minimum, projects must be able to produce between 1,900 and 2,500 gal/acre/yr on an annualized average basis at the beginning of the proposed project &amp;#8211; the project baseline) with a reasonable and realistic plan to produce 3,700 gal/acre/yr by the end of the performance period.

        <Description>The purpose of the program is to assist the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the evaluation of the Core VIPP program. The goal of this project is to enhance state evaluation of injury and violence prevention efforts; particularly their ability to synthesize, translate, and disseminate evaluation findings for continuous quality improvement and for health impact. The recipient will also partner with CDC to evaluate the overall impact of the program on violence and injury-related morbidity and mortality, on risk and protective factors associated with violence and injury, and on state health department infrastructure to implement and sustain injury and violence prevention work. The ultimate goal of the Core VIPP is to support State Health Departments (SHDs) in the dissemination, implementation, and evaluation of programs, practices, and policies with the best available research evidence in order to decrease and prevent injury and violence related morbidity and mortality. The CDC evaluation team is committed to using the CDC Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr4811a1.htm) to guide the design and implementation of this project. This program addresses the &amp;#8220;Healthy People 2020&amp;#8221; focus area of Injury and Violence Prevention. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on the economic value of ecosystem services supported by our nation&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s rivers and streams, with a specific focus on those supplied by freshwater mussels in the Upper Delaware River. Not only are mussels filter feeders that provide an essential link in the food chain, but by filtering water through their gills as they feed, they play a critical role in keeping the water clean. This improved water quality in turn supports a range of ecosystem services that contribute to human well-being, including drinking water, recreation, and aesthetics. This is the case in the Upper Delaware River, the last major undammed river in the eastern United States, which provides clean drinking water for 5% of the nation, provides habitat for key threatened, endangered and migratory species, and supports a world class cold water fishery and other recreation such as rafting, boating, and swimming. Although the Upper Delaware River currently represents a healthy ecosystem, future management decisions and land use changes could affect mussel populations and the beneficial services they provide in this region.</Description>

New award Anticipated Period of Performance Date of execution through September 30, 2018 Award Instrument Grant Statutory Authority Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1934, Public Law 85-624, 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq., as amended, and Section 7(a) of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) (70 Stat 1122; 16 U.S.C. 742f(a)) ); as limited and delegated by the Secretary of the Interior to the Bureau of Reclamation at 255 DM 1.1B and subject to limitations listed in &amp;#8220;Reclamation Manual Delegations of Authority&amp;#8221; Paragraph 6.F.(2) CFDA # and Title 15.517 Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation (4) Unique Qualifications Reclamation Point of Contact Stacy Brown Email: sbrown@usbr.gov OVERVIEW The proposed 2016 Financial Assistance Agreement will fund projects the development of projects identified in the Westside Regional Drainage Plan (WRDP) that will manage and reduce salinity in the lower San Joaquin River and improve fish and wildlife habitat there and in adjacent wetlands and refuges. The federal investment since 2002 has provided the recipient with a sustainable system to control and reduce agricultural drainwater discharged from Grasslands Drainage Area. Federal funds will be used for personnel costs, design and construction of a pump station and associated pipelines, convert up to 18 miles of dirt roads to all-weather roads, planting up to 420 acres of salt tolerant crops, and fill-in 2.65 miles of unneeded drainage ditch. The implementation of the WRDP has resulted in significant reductions in the volume of agricultural drainwater discharged to the San Joaquin River. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT As a benefit to the public the Recipient will fund projects which will result in significant improvements in water quality in the San Joaquin River and adjacent wetlands. The ongoing federal investment in the Westside Regional Drainage Plan (WRDP) has helped provide a sustainable system to control and reduce agricultural drainage by the recipient, improve downstream water quality, and sustain agricultural production in the Grasslands Drainage Area. The recipient has displaced 192,000 acre-feet of agricultural drainwater that contained more than 997,300 tons of salts and 39,700 pounds of selenium, contaminants that otherwise would have been discharged to the San Joaquin River. This in turn creates a cleaner river and adjacent wetlands significantly improving public lands. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based on the following criteria: Continuation &amp;#8211; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity. The federal government has invested over $39 million in projects with the Recipient to control agricultural drainage water and manage salinity in the San Joaquin River. The Recipient has been successful in meeting selenium and salinity load targets due to this federal investment. The 2015 proposal is a continuation of similar projects funded since 2009. Unique Qualifications &amp;#8211; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications. The Recipient is the public entity that is responsible for providing drainage service to farmers in the Grassland Drainage Area. The Recipient owns and operates local drainwater management facilities including more than 6,000 acres of land where agricultural drainwater is displaced to irrigate salt-tolerant crops.

        <Description>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)defines sexual violence as a sexual act committed against someone without that persons freely given consent. Sexual violence can include sexual harassment,sexual assault,and rape. Sexual violence is divided into the following types: Completed or attempted forced penetration of avictimCompleted or attempted alcohol/drug-facilitatedpenetration of a victimCompleted or attempted forced acts in which a victim is made to penetrate a perpetrator or someone else Completed or attempted alcohol/drug-facilitatedacts in which a victim is made to penetrate a perpetrator or someone elseNon-physically forced penetration which occurs after a person is pressured verbally or throughintimidation or misuse of authority to consent or acquiesceUnwanted sexual contact Non-contact unwanted sexual experiencesThe CDC estimates 23 million women have experienced completed or attempted rape in their lifetimes. Nearly 80% of female victims of completed rape or sexual assault reported the episode occurred before their 25th birthday, with 40% having experienced their first rape between the ages 18 and 24. Currently,one in five female college students report having been sexually assaulted. Further, the Association of American Universities(AAU) published results in September 2015 from a new survey finding 23% of female undergraduate students have reported experiencing sexual assault since enrolling in college. AAU surveyed over 150,000 students across 27 colleges and universities. More than 20 percent of female undergraduates at an array of prominent universities said they were victims of sexual assault and misconduct this year. Most often it happens her freshman or sophomore year by someone she knows, but it is not reported. In most cases, the perpetrator is an acquaintance,classmate, friend or (ex) boyfriend of the victim, and she was drugged, drunk, passed out,or otherwise incapacitated. There are approximately 3,000 four-year and 2,000 two-year colleges and universities in the U.S. Yet many post-secondary schools have no or limited policies and procedures in place to prevent sexual assault. For this initiative, each grantee will: Partner with organizations in position to influence policies and practices at post-secondary schools to disseminate sexual assaultpolicy information and prevention strategies; andPartner with a cadre of post-secondary schools to institute policies and practices, and prevention strategies that prevent sexual assaults from occurring.Technical assistance for policy advancement should focus on 1) identifying the campus climate; 2) implementing bystander education and other prevention programs; and 3) effectively responding when a student is sexually assaulted. Grantees will achieve their objectives for this funding opportunity with substantial involvement from OWH. Specifically, OWH will:Actively participate in the development of prevention strategies and policies to ensure the inclusion of steps recommended by the White House Task Force on Campus Sexual Assault to: 1. Identify the scope of the problem on college campuses;2. Help prevent sexual assault on campus;3. Help schools respond effectively when a student is sexually assaulted; and4. Improve the federal governments enforcement efforts, and make them more transparent.Facilitate collaboration among grantees to share best practices and lessons learned.Partner in identifying platforms for dissemination of evidence-based results.</Description>

Background: The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Network is a national consortium of federal agencies, academic institutions, tribal, state, and local governments, nongovernmental conservation organizations (300 partners). The Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (DSCESU) is a cooperative network, transcending political and institutional boundaries, which creates innovative opportunities for research, education, and technical assistance in support of the management and stewardship by partner agencies of the Desert Southwests natural, cultural, and social resources. The DSCESU has a unique collaborative relationship with research scientists, end users of research products, the public, and educators who are trained to bridge the gap between researchers, science users and educators. The western yellow-billed cuckoo (YBCU, Coccyzus americanus) is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. It is a neo-tropical migrant that is associated with habitats such as wetlands and riparian corridors with an abundant cottonwood-willow mix similar to those habitats found on the Big Sandy and Santa Maria Rivers in western Arizona. Occupancy for the adjacent Bill Williams River has been confirmed. The northern Mexican Gartersnake (NMGS; Thamnophis eques), is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Recent surveys by AGFD biologists have confirmed NMGS occupancy on the Big Sandy River and adjacent Bill Williams River although the extent of suitable and/or occupied habitat is currently unclear. The southwestern willow flycatcher (SWWFL, Epidonax traillii extimis), is listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Surveys have confirmed SWWFL occupancy on the Big Sandy River, at the confluence of the Big Sandy and Santa Maria Rivers, and the adjacent Bill Williams River although the extent of suitable and/or occupied habitat is currently unclear. The distribution of the YBCU, NMGS, and SWWFL is unclear on the Big Sandy and Santa Maria Rivers. The purpose of this project is to survey for the presence of these species on sections of the Big Sandy and Santa Maria rivers. Data from this project will provide YBCU, NMGS, and SWWFL habitat and population distribution data to land managers so that informed decisions concerning future adaptive management strategies and Endangered Species Act compliance can occur. b. Objectives: The objective of this program is as follows; 1. Document the presence of YBCU on sections of the Big Sandy and Santa Maria rivers using standardized survey methodology 2. Document the presence of NMGS on sections of the Big Sandy and Santa Maria rivers using standardized survey methodology 3. Document the presence of SWWFL on sections of the Big Sandy and Santa Maria rivers using standardized survey methodology </Description>

        <Description>The Support for Adam Walsh Act (AWA) Implementation Grant Program assists jurisdictions with developing and/or enhancing programs designed to implement requirements of SORNA. In summary, SORNA requires: (1) all States, the District of Columbia, the principal U.S. territories, and participating federally recognized Indian tribes to maintain a sex offender registry; and (2) sex offenders to register and maintain a current registration in each jurisdiction where the offender resides, is an employee, or is a student. SORNA also sets forth requirements for sex offender registries, to include: specified required information, duration of registration, and in-person verification of sex offender identity as well as participation in the National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW), and the utilization of the SORNA Exchange Portal. For more specific information about compliance with SORNA and access to the National Guidelines and Supplemental Guidelines on Sex Offender Registration and Notification, please visit www.smart.gov/sorna_tools.htm#sornaguidelines. For information and resources on SORNA, visit www.smart.gov. Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables The SMART Office is interested in proposals that facilitate, enhance and maintain jurisdictional implementation of SORNA. For State and Territorial jurisdictions that have not yet substantially implemented SORNA, applicants must have received a SORNA Substantial Implementation Report from the SMART Office, or submitted materials for a review, and must explain how the proposed project will bring the jurisdiction closer to implementation based upon SMART&amp;#8217;s review. For tribal jurisdictions that have not yet substantially implemented SORNA, applicants must have received a SORNA Substantial Implementation Report, have submitted materials for a review, or requested and received a &amp;#8220;reasonable time&amp;#8221; extension from the SMART Office, and must explain how the proposed project will bring the jurisdiction closer to implementation based on SMART&amp;#8217;s review. Discussion of a jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s planned activities should include information regarding the jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s SORNA implementation working group. The working group plan should include a list of the working group members, their responsibility regarding SORNA implementation, and an agenda for the group&amp;#8217;s work during the grant period, in addition to the timeline of the applicant&amp;#8217;s planned activities otherwise required by this solicitation. It is expected that successful grantees will complete semi-annual progress reports which include updates on their jurisdiction&amp;#8217;s working group meetings. This requirement does not apply to jurisdictions that have already been found to have substantially implemented SORNA. For those jurisdictions that have already substantially implemented SORNA, the application must explain how the proposed project will either support continued implementation of SORNA or enhance their programs around registration/notification. State and Territorial applicants should link their proposed activities with non-implemented factors as identified in their most recent SORNA Substantial Implementation Report. In developing and/or enhancing efforts or programs designed to implement or maintain compliance with SORNA, applicants may propose specific strategies and projects including, but not limited to, the following examples: Examples of strategies and projects to develop or enhance jurisdiction-wide SORNA implementation programs or functions: All applicants: &amp;#8226; Developing proposed legislation and administrative materials (such as policies and procedures) which address SORNA&amp;#8217;s requirements, including through legal support. &amp;#8226; Providing support for coordinated interagency efforts to enhance implementation of SORNA requirements. &amp;#8226; Developing or enhancing law enforcement and other criminal justice agency information sharing at the jurisdiction level as well as between and among jurisdiction level agencies and local level agencies. &amp;#8226; Implementing records management projects, such as converting documents to digital format as required by SORNA. &amp;#8226; Developing and implementing training for law enforcement and other criminal justice agency personnel responsible for sex offender registration, notification, monitoring, or management. &amp;#8226; Enhancing address verification strategies, collaborating with other jurisdictions and agencies on absconder investigations, and expanding community education and prevention programs related to sex offender registration, notification, or management. &amp;#8226; Enhancing infrastructure to assist implementation of SORNA, such as for the collection, storage, submission or analysis of sex offender biometric data (finger and palm prints) and DNA. See budget information on page 6 including referenced footnote for more information. Tribal applicants: &amp;#8226; Tribes that have elected to carry out the requirements of SORNA are encouraged to apply for funding to support SORNA implementation activities carried out by a consortium of tribes that have elected to implement SORNA. Several tribes may choose to form a consortium to share resources (e.g., hardware, digital fingerprint equipment, kiosks; joint staff or shared registry office space; shared public registry website, etc.); or collaborate on enforcement activities or other facilities used for registration. An application to fund such a collaborative approach or project must include supporting documentation, such as an interagency agreement, a memorandum of understanding, or a letter of cooperation, which demonstrates the collaborative endeavor from each member jurisdiction of the consortium. &amp;#8226; Tribes that have been found to have substantially implemented SORNA may apply for funding to create and improve sustainment strategies, including but not limited to developing community education programs on sex offender topics or collaborations with intra&amp;#8211;tribal organizations including victim service agencies, courts, probation, schools and other entities. An application to fund such a collaborative approach or project must include supporting documentation from the included tribal organizations detailing how the collaboration will be effectuated. The application should also detail how such strategies will sustain and support the tribe&amp;#8217;s sex offender registration and notification program. &amp;#8226; Tribes that have been found to have substantially implemented SORNA may apply for funding to develop or enhance their inter-jurisdictional cooperation, including but not limited to information-sharing infrastructure improvement. States with tribal jurisdictions within their borders: &amp;#8226; States may apply to support efforts of local or state units of government, or P.L. 280 tribes, to develop or enhance their sex offender registration and notification functions as they pertain to tribal nations that have been delegated to the state for the purpose of substantial implementation of SORNA. &amp;#8226; State jurisdictions that include P.L. 280 tribes are encouraged to design projects that address SORNA implementation as it relates to these tribes. &amp;#8226; State jurisdictions that have Tribal SORNA Jurisdictions within their borders may apply for funding to enhance their collaboration with SORNA tribes including but not limited to enhancing information sharing such as tribal access to NCIC/NSOR. An application to fund such a collaborative approach or project must include supporting documentation, such as an interagency agreement, a memorandum of understanding, or a letter of cooperation, which demonstrates the collaborative endeavor from each member SORNA jurisdiction involved in the collaboration. Additional Information Required State and territory applicants that are eligible to receive Byrne/JAG reallocation funding should describe how the proposed project complements the work that the jurisdiction plans to perform with that reallocation funding. Applicants shall ensure that the project involves activities that are separate from or complement the tasks being performed with the SORNA reallocation funding, so as to avoid receiving duplicate funds for the same activity. </Description>

        <Description>The National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank for Translational Research (NMVB) was established in 2006 to serve as an exceptional resource for mesothelioma research purposes. Published information on the NMVB is available at http://www.mesotissue.org/publications. The purpose of this Funding OpportunityAnnouncement (FOA) is to continue to advance biomedical research for malignant mesothelioma byexpanding the collection of biospecimens, related data, and other information in the NMVB. The NMVB is capable of providing biospecimens (such as fresh frozen tumor and control tissues, paraffin embedded tissues, and blood and DNA samples from mesothelioma patients), together with demographic data (age, sex, race, occupational history and other epidemiologic information), and clinical data (stage, treatment and survival information). Additionally, the virtual registry and tissue bank serves as a virtual repository and offers a library of reagents and data (such as genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data) for sharing among investigators.</Description>

        <Description>The Office on Women&amp;apos;s Health (OWH), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), works to improve the health and sense of well-being of all U.S. women and girls. OWH serves as the focal point for women&amp;apos;s health activities across HHS offices and agencies, and leads HHS efforts to ensure that all women and girls achieve the best possible health. OWH has its central office located in Washington, D.C. and collaborates with ten Regional Women Health Coordinators across the country to help serve women and girls through regional, state, and local public health initiatives. OWHs mission is to provide national leadership and coordination to improve the health of women and girls through policy, education, and model programs. OWH goals are to achieve this mission by: Informing and advancing policies Educating the public Educating professionals and Supporting model programs As a leader in women health, OWH supports the development of culturally-based, gender-sensitive programs to address health disparities. Women health concerns and issues are managed effectively with gender-sensitive approaches to outreach, social and cultural competency, appropriate referrals, education, and follow up. OWH is interested in improving womens and girls health associated with FGC in the U.S.through optimal FGC-related health care for those who have experienced FGC and through primary prevention. The community support for and type of FGC performed depends upon cultural background and geographic location. Moreover, the prevalence of FGC in immigrant and refugee populations in the U.S.is unknown. FGC has detrimental short- and long-term health effects. Medical evidence shows that FGC is linked to urinary tract/bacterial infections, sexual dysfunction, pelvic inflammation, infertility, miscarriage, and even death.</Description>

        <Description>HUD&amp;#8217;s investment under this Demonstration program is intended to facilitate aging in place by providing a supportive services subsidy to certain elderly restricted HUD assisted independent housing developments. The supportive service subsidy will (1) cover all reasonable cost related to the provision of a full-time enhanced service coordinator and part-time preventive health nurse as well as (2) allocate a nominal amount towards eligible services expenses for our aging residents. Elderly persons who have access to affordable, safe and accessible housing, who practice healthy behaviors, take advantage of wellness, preventive and long-term care services and supports, and those who continue to engage with family and friends are more likely to achieve better health outcomes, live independently, age in place and incur fewer health-related costs. Under this NOFA, HUD will evaluate the extent to which the selected housing plus supportive service models allow elderly persons to live independently and age in place, including improving general well being, improving health outcomes and health-care utilization, and preventing or delaying institutionalization.Funding priority will be given to those sponsors that evidence the ability to accomplish the following three goals:Strengthen the Availability of Supportive Services by effectively using the Service Coordinator to create and support partnerships between housing and supportive service providers to support aging in place;Support Aging-in-Place by fostering an environment that allows for elderly persons to live independently by accessing home and community-based supportive services that are designed to promote general well being, improved health outcomes; andImprove the evidence base on the effectiveness of Section 202 housing as a platform to improve health outcomes by participating in an effort led by HUD (or its contractors and/or grantees) to develop standard procedures to be implemented by all sponsors/owners for (1) measurement of outcomes related to general well being; health and health-care utilization; and costs to the health care system; (2) implementation of the enhanced service coordinator model in the same way in all sites; and (3) enrollment of eligible applicants into a random assignment study.To achieve these goals, Sponsors/Owners must have a comprehensive approach to strategically implement a supportive services model that can support the needs of all residents. As a condition of the receipt of financial assistance under this program NOFA, all Sponsors/Owners will be required to cooperate with HUD staff, contractors, or grantees who perform HUD-funded evaluation of the 202 housing program. HUD envisions the study will be undertaken by independent researchers in collaboration with Sponsors/Owners. </Description>

        <Description>I. Description of Funding Opportunity Central America possesses one of the richest concentrations of species and ecosystem diversity on Earth. The region&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s forests serve as irreplaceable flyways for migratory birds, provide important watershed and ecosystem services, and reduce the severity of climate change impacts. Unfortunately, despite tremendous progress over the last two decades, Central America today remains among the most threatened biodiversity hotspots with one of the highest land conversion and deforestation rates in the world. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) works closely with national governments, U.S. agencies, and a range of other partners to ensure a strategic, results-based approach to conserving priority species, habitats and ecological processes across landscapes with high biodiversity value in Central America. With the region currently suffering from drought due to an El Nino event of nearly unprecedented severity, protecting wildlife and forests is a critical element in securing food sources, livelihoods and sustainable economic growth. USFWS is providing this funding opportunity to reduce threats to key species and ecosystems in Central America and to strengthen the requisite individual and institutional capacity to sustain conservation programs in the long-term. Project activities should take place in Central America. If work is to be conducted in the United States, the proposal must show a clear impact on biodiversity conservation in Central America to be eligible. Geographic and programmatic priorities are described below, including what USFWS wants to achieve through its funding support (i.e., Desired Results). Due to other grant programs supported by the USFWS, Wildlife Without Borders - Central America WILL NOT FUND projects related to: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#162; Marine turtles (Marine Turtle Conservation Fund) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#162; Neotropical Migratory Birds (Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act Fund) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#162; Mexico (Wildlife Without Borders - Mexico) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#162; South America (Wildlife Without Borders &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; Latin America and Caribbean - South America) For information on how to apply for these other funding opportunities please visit: http://www.fws.gov/grants/programs.html Geographic priorities: The USFWS seeks to support conservation of the large-scale ecosystems of regional significance that are viable for long-term conservation and critical to protecting regional watersheds and ecosystem services. Because existing protected areas within Central America alone are too small and isolated to maintain ecosystem functions and large scale processes, the Wildlife Without Borders-Central America program uses a landscape-scale approach to conserve the region&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s unique ecosystems and jaguars, tapirs, monkeys, macaws, and other iconic wildlife that can also serve as umbrella species for the rest of the region&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s biodiversity. Priority consideration will be given to conservation activities within the following landscapes: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Maya Mountains Massif &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; Chiquibul - Cockscomb (Belize) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Central Belize Corridor (Belize) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Maya Forest (Guatemala) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Montecristo Massif &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; Trifinio Corridor (El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Texiguat- Pico-Bonito-Cuero y Salado (Honduras) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Rio Pl&amp;#195;&amp;#161;tano-Tawahka-Patuca - Bosawas (Honduras and Nicaragua) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Osa Peninsula and T&amp;#195;&amp;#169;rraba-Sierpe (Costa Rica) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Rio Indo Ma&amp;#195;z (Nicaragua) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; La Amistad &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; Palo Seco (Costa Rica and Panama) &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Darien (Panama) Given the transnational nature of these landscapes, the USFWS seeks to support not only local landscape activities, but also activities to ameliorate threats to biodiversity targeted at a regional and political level. Furthermore, to support collaboration and learning across sites, recipients may be invited to participate in a community of practice around specific approaches to addressing Central America&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s most pressing conservation issues. Programmatic priorities: 1. Reducing unsustainable agricultural and land use practices Description: Nearly half of the natural habitats of Central America have been converted to agriculture or urban areas and an estimated eighty percent of the region&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s original forest has been cleared or significantly altered. Habitat loss and degradation due to agricultural encroachment and industrialization is one of the primary threats to the region&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s wildlife. Expansions of pastures for livestock production, especially cattle ranching, as well as expansion of oil palm production and other agricultural activities are major drivers of deforestation and wetland degradation resulting in loss of wildlife habitat. Effective actions are needed to: 1) discourage agroindustry and livestock production in key forest areas and wetlands of international importance; and 2) promote sustainable farming and grazing systems with a focus on drought resistant and climate adapted food production systems, particularly as an alternative to cattle ranching. The USFWS seeks to support activities to reduce threats from farming and ranching as a result of agricultural encroachment and industrialization. Eligible proposals include projects to combat habitat degradation in high-value landscapes identified above and increase sustainable farming and grazing systems outside protected areas, as well as projects that increase national political will, coherent policies and incentives, and legal capacity to improve compliance with protected area legislation and law enforcement. The program will also support the delivery of effective training and capacity development linked to practical on-the-ground problem solving. Proposals should focus on strengthening the ability of Central American individuals, institutions, and networks to carry out conservation activities and techniques to reduce the threat of unsustainable agricultural land use practices in the short and long term. Proposals should show how capacity development will address gaps in engagement and/or performance of the following target audiences: 1) Personnel or institutions working on wildlife conservation and protected area and/or biological corridor management; 2) Local resource managers, community organizations, indigenous peoples, or producer organizations; or 3) Underserved youth (ages 18 &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; 25) living in priority landscapes. Proposals should describe how gender will be considered in the design and delivery of capacity development activities. Desired results related to management of high conservation value areas: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Reduction in total ha/% of management area encroached by specific harmful agricultural or ranching activity. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Reduction of illegal activities or incursions within area of concern (protected areas, buffer zones, multiple use zones, indigenous territories and biological corridors). &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Increase in total ha/% or # of producers within area of concern (protected areas, buffer zones, multiple use zones, indigenous territories and biological corridors) under biodiversity-friendly or climate adapted production systems. Desired results related to policy and enforcement: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Integrated sustainable mechanisms and/or policies for farmers and ranchers to prevent agricultural encroachment and reduce cattle production at the local, national, and/or regional level, including more coherent fiscal and regulatory incentives as well as payment for environmental services. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Sufficient investigative capacity to identify large-scale illegal pasture clearing within protected areas for intensive or large scale livestock production and the evidence that can be used to assist their arrest and prosecution. Desired results related to capacity development: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Successful identification of training and competencies needed to carry out specific conservation activities and techniques, and selection of trainers and individuals with high potential to effectively deliver and apply training. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Successful completion of training and application of new competencies by trained individuals which resulted in measureable reduction of threats to priority landscapes from unsustainable agricultural and land use practices. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Increased participation of indigenous peoples and forest-based communities in monitoring and influencing decision-making processes. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Increased role of civil society in making, implementing, influencing or providing input into policies and regulations affecting implementation of laws at the local/community, tribal, state/provincial, national and international level related to biodiversity. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Development of young conservation champions (ages 18 &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; 25) due to expanded educational, community service and employment opportunities related to biodiversity conservation. 2. Cattle reporting Description: To better understand the scale, scope and impact of cattle production on Central America&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s forests and wildlife at the regional level, the USFWS will support a reporting project that leverages a network of journalists across the region to produce news and media about the issue. The recipient will work closely with experts selected by USFWS to develop a list of questions that need to be explored to get a better handle on the intersection of cattle ranching and environmental protection in Mesoamerica within the context of food security and human health, economic production, ecosystem services, and climate change. Those questions will then be used to seed an open call for story proposals from journalists via the grantee&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s various channels. The grantee will field proposals and commission stories, to be produced regularly during the course of the reporting project. Desired results: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Central America news and media produce at least 10 feature stories on the scope and impact of cattle production on Central America&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s forests and wildlife &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Evidence of readership by tracking of where articles are picked up by a third party. **Note on funding mechanism: A cooperative agreement. 3. Conserving jaguar populations of Central America The Jaguar (Panthera onca) is the largest and most iconic cat in the Western Hemisphere. The jaguar is an umbrella species whose conservation supports conservation of other species, ecosystem functions, and landscapes. Jaguars have been eradicated from over 40% of their historical range. Today, direct threats to the jaguar in Central America include: habitat loss and fragmentation, direct killing by humans who view jaguars as a threat to their security or to their livelihoods, and depletion of natural prey due to subsistence or market hunting. The USFWS will support local, national and regional (transnational) activities designed to ensure that jaguar populations remain stable or increase across its range. Eligible proposals include projects that secure protections for critical jaguar conservation units and jaguar corridors to ensure regional connectivity, mitigate and reduce persecution of jaguars, and support conservation of their natural prey. Priority consideration will be given to conservation activities within the following jaguar conservation units or corridors: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Maya Biosphere Reserve &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Greater Bosawas Landscape &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Wawashang Natural Reserve &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Indio Maiz Biological Reserve &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Jeannette Kawas National Park &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Pico Bonito National Park &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Central Belize Corridor &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; San Juan-La Selva Corridor &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Central Volcanic to Talamanca Corridor &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Amistosa Corridor &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Santa Fe-Lago Gatun and Central Corridor Desired results: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Improved management capacity of jaguar conservation units and corridors. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Designation of new protected areas or corridors. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Reduction or elimination of conflicts between humans and jaguars. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Reduction of retaliatory attacks and killing of jaguars. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Reduction of livestock predation and damage to human lives and livelihoods. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Adoption of jaguar conflict mitigation measures by ranchers and/or farmers. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Improved conservation for other species and/or ecosystems. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Integrated sustainable mechanisms and/or policy incentives for owners to prevent livestock predation at the local, national, and/or regional level. 4) Improving wildlife security in Central America Description: The USFWS will support local, national and regional (transnational) activities designed and implemented to reduce uncontrolled and/or unsustainable wildlife (terrestrial and marine) and timber harvesting and trafficking Eligible proposals include both projects to combat poaching, illegal resource extraction and habitat degradation in high value conservation areas, as well as projects that increase local and national political will and capacity to improve compliance with anti-trafficking laws and law enforcement. Example activities include disruption of illegal trade networks and control of illicit trade routes; support to national judicial systems and law enforcement offices to apply wildlife-related law; augmentation of the national government&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s capacity to protect high value sites, including protected area management or establishment; and reduction of threats and/or targeted recovery of species that are clearly identified to be threatened. In the project narrative section, proposals should describe current conditions that will enable proposed activities to be successful, including the status of government resources and political will to support field protection missions and/or wildlife law enforcement, existing intelligence and informant networks, and existing project strategies that support good governance and ensure the legal process is not undermined by corruption. In addition, USFWS will support the delivery of effective training and capacity development linked to practical on-the-ground problem solving. Proposals should focus on strengthening the ability of Central American individuals, institutions, and networks to carry out conservation activities and techniques to improve wildlife security. Proposals should show how capacity development will address gaps in engagement and/or performance of the following target audiences: 1) Personnel or institutions working on wildlife conservation and protected area and/or biological corridor management 2) Local resource managers, community organizations, indigenous peoples, or producer organizations or 3) Underserved rural youth (ages 18 &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; 25) living in priority landscapes. Proposals should describe how gender will be considered in the design and delivery of capacity development activities. Furthermore, this priority area is designed to support conservation activities for habitats, sites and species not identified elsewhere in the Notice of Funding Opportunity that can clearly demonstrate a reduction of threat to the conservation target. Desired results: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Reduced illegal and/or unsustainable harvesting of wildlife and timber resources. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Decreased availability and commercial consumption and/or use of illegal wild animals and timber. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Increased field missions to detect and deter illegal activities and/or increased investigative capacity to identify large-scale wildlife and timber traffickers. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Increased application of wildlife protection laws by in-country decision-makers and law enforcement agents. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Illegal activities curtailed at the conservation area, and public use of the site is consistent with conservation goals. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Increased regional and/or transnational cooperation on reducing wildlife and timber trafficking. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; More effective messaging in the media and development community related to wildlife and timber trafficking, and a public awareness that wildlife law is being enforced. Desired results related to capacity development: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Successful identification of training and competencies needed to carry out specific conservation activities and techniques, and selection of trainers and individuals with high potential to effectively deliver and apply training. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Successful completion of training and application of new competencies by trained individuals which resulted in measureable reduction of threats from uncontrolled/unsustainable wildlife and timber harvesting and trafficking. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Increased participation of indigenous peoples and forest-based communities in monitoring and influencing the decision-making processes related to natural resource use on their lands. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Increased role of civil society in making, implementing, influencing or providing input into policies and regulations affecting the implementation of laws at the local/community, tribal, state/provincial, national and international level related to biodiversity. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#143; Development of young conservation champions (ages 18 &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; 25) due to expanded educational, community service and employment opportunities related to biodiversity conservation. </Description>

        <Description>BACKGROUND: Wild horses and burros are American icons and living symbols of the historic pioneer spirit of the American West. The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 provides the Secretary with the authority to enter into cooperative agreements with other organizations and agencies in order to appropriately manage and maintain healthy wild horse and burro populations on public lands. This responsibility falls on the Department of the Interior&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Bureau of Land Management (BLM). There are more than 1,200 wild horses ranging on Beaty Butte Heard Management Area (HMA) which is about 1,000 more than the BLM-determined maximum number of wild horses the land can support while also providing for other uses. To help protect the health and sustainability of the wild horse population, the BLM intends to support gathering the HMA down to the low end of the appropriate management level (AML) and is seeking a partner to assist with the yearly bait-trap gathering of horses to maintain AML and provide facilities and personnel to help train and better prepare wild horses removed from the HMA for adoption. This program will support the management of wild horses by keeping the HMA within AML without the use of large helicopter gathers and costly long-term holding. Recipients should be prepared to provide all necessary staff and expertise needed to operate and maintain a wild horse training program, to provide adequate facilities to properly and humanely handle, feed, and care for wild horses, to train wild horses to be ridden (saddle started - including outside riding, the ability to be roped off of, and the ability to be shoed and tolerate other hoof maintenance), to provide adoption opportunities and hold adoption events open to the public at their facility, and to provide for the disposal of deceased animals in accordance with applicable local, State, and Federal laws. The BLM intends to provide assistance and work closely with recipients in: Ground-based capture of wild horses, determining gather trap locations and access, trap monitoring, providing holding and training facilities, administering PZP (porcine zona pellucida) for fertility control, determining which horses should be removed for training and adoption, providing high quality training to captured horses, hosting and advertising adoption events, recruiting adopters, collecting BLM adoption fees, and in the transport of horses, as needed (horses not adopted will be returned to BLM possession). OBJECTIVES: The objective of this program is to successfully capture, treat with PZP (for fertility control), train, and adopt out excess wild horses from the BLM Beaty Butte Heard Management Area in order to maintain the heard management area (HMA) at the optimal appropriate management level (AML). PUBLIC BENEFIT: By maintaining the wild horse populations within their AML a thriving natural ecological balance is maintained improving maintenance of rangeland resources for multiple uses by the public. BLM financial assistance will help increase the number of adopted horses, reduce the number of horses in the HMA, reduce or remove the need for future large gathers, and ultimately reduce the overall cost to the public of managing the Beaty Butte HMA.</Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region has generated collections of archeological and historical objects and records through its various works. Following 36 CFR 79, federal collections shall be curated by a repository meeting the Department of the Interior or the American Association of Museums standards. The UWAR meets these standards. The UWAR hired by the Secretary of the Interior (National Park Service) to generate the collections before the Colorado River Storage Project dams were built in the 1950s and 1960s. The collections were deposited with UWAR in the 1950s, and under the terms of the original agreements between the United States (National Park Service) and the UWAR, they were stipulated to &amp;#8220;retain&amp;#8221; the collection in perpetuity. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is committed to increasing the sustainable impact of our development assistance programs through strategic alliances with the private sector. Such alliances enable the Agency to leverage private sector markets, expertise, interests, and assets in a manner that solves critical development problems and promotes effective market led development. They also enable the private sector to leverage USAID&amp;#146;s expertise, assets and working relationships in a manner that advances business success and fosters the broader economic growth and poverty reduction that is vital to sustaining such success. Through strategic and ongoing collaboration, the private sector and USAID are better able to increase the impact, reach, efficiency, and effectiveness of our respective investments in developing countries worldwide. This Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement (APS) is designed to catalyze, facilitate and support such collaboration. </Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Ambassador&amp;#8217;s Special Self-Help Program assists community-based, community-run projects in the local communities of South Africa. The goal of the Self-Help Program is to improve the basic economic and social conditions of the community or village. This year the focus is on funding projects which promote economic empowerment, including income generating activities and job skills training; and youth leadership development with a particular emphasis on young women and girls (aged 15-24). Preference will be given to organizations which have established relationships with the private sector, NGOs or government bodies and demonstrate sustainability and a clear way to scale up activities. Proposals which complement U.S. Mission objectives of improving the quality of skills development and innovation and increasing economic integration will also receive preference. After the US grant money is used, the project must be able to continue operating on its own or with help from the community. In the past year, the Self-Help program awarded five grants at an average of US$14,000 with a one-year implementation period. These grants are being used to fund activities such as veterinary technician training, youth entrepreneur workshops and computer skills training. Organizations need to be registered non-profit organizations in operation for at least two years in order to be eligible to apply. Applicants will be assessed on standard criteria which include, but are not limited to, feasibility of proposed project, alignment with U.S. Ambassador&amp;#8217;s areas of focus, sound financial and management controls, a level of sustainability and appropriate community and South African Government linkages.

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) provides fiscal year (FY) 2016 funds for the Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (Tribal MIECHV) Implementation and Expansion Grants. Funds will support 5-year grants (cooperative agreements) between the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and federally-recognized Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations that are currently operating an evidence-based home visiting program and propose to sustain and/or expand their established infrastructure for home visiting services in tribal communities. The goals of the Tribal MIECHV Program include: Supporting the development of happy, healthy, and successful American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and families through a coordinated home visiting strategy that addresses critical maternal and child health, development, early learning, family support, and child abuse and neglect prevention needs. Implementing high-quality, culturally-relevant, evidence-based home visiting programs in AI/AN communities. Expanding the evidence base around home visiting interventions with Native populations. Supporting and strengthening cooperation and coordination and promoting linkages among various programs that serve pregnant women, expectant fathers, young children, and families, resulting in coordinated, comprehensive early childhood systems in grantee communities. This FOA is intended for tribal entities that have an established history of implementation of high-quality, culturally relevant, evidence-based home visiting services to AI/AN families and children, implementation of performance measurement and continuous quality improvement systems, development of early childhood systems, and conducting rigorous evaluation. Applicants may include existing grantees under the Tribal MIECHV program that are proposing to sustain and/or expand services, as well as other tribal entities that can demonstrate past and current experience with conducting such activities and are proposing to expand services. A separate FOA (Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Development and Implementation Grants, HHS-2016-ACF-OCC-TH-1161) is intended for tribal entities without prior experience implementing and evaluating home visiting programs. Since 2010, ACF and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the agencies collaborating to implement the Tribal MIECHV program within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), have supported the planning and implementation of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV, the Federal Home Visiting Program). Through these and other initiatives, tribal communities have spent years developing strong capacity and infrastructure for delivery of high-quality, culturally relevant, evidence-based home visiting services, implementation of performance measurement and continuous quality improvement systems, development of early childhood systems, and conducting rigorous evaluation. Building on this work, the Tribal MIECHV Implementation and Expansion Grants will support sustained, strengthened, and/or expanded efforts in tribal communities to provide high-quality, culturally relevant, evidence-based home visiting services to AI/AN families and children. During the 5-year project periods of the cooperative agreement, funds will support: - Conducting or updating a needs and readiness assessment of the tribal community that considers community characteristics and the quality and capacity of existing home visiting programs and other supportive services, examines community readiness to implement a quality home visiting program, is coordinated with other relevant needs assessments, and involves community stakeholders; - Collaborative planning efforts to address identified needs by sustaining and/or expanding capacity and infrastructure to fully plan for, adopt, implement, and sustain high-quality home visiting programs that have strong fidelity to evidence-based models; - Providing high-quality, culturally appropriate, evidence-based home visiting services to pregnant women, expectant fathers, and parents and primary caregivers of young children aged birth to kindergarten entry; - Engaging in activities to strengthen the ability of early childhood programs to work together and develop a network of supports for expectant families and families with young children; - Implementing a performance measurement system to measure, track, and report on progress toward meeting legislatively mandated benchmarks and engage in data-driven continuous quality improvement activities; and - Participating in and/or conducting rigorous program evaluation activities that will contribute to the empirical evidence base on implementation, efficacy, effectiveness, and/or adaptation of home visiting programs in AI/AN communities. Grantees will EITHER A) Participate in a rigorous multi-site implementation evaluation involving multiple grantees that will be developed and overseen by ACF in strong collaboration with participating grantees and tribal communities. The purpose of this multi-site implementation evaluation will be to understand factors that support quality implementation and adaptation of home visiting programs in tribal communities, and to explore how implementation relates to proximal and distal outcomes; OR B) Conduct a rigorous local evaluation that examines the efficacy of an evidence-based or promising home visiting model (or components of models) in affecting outcomes of value in tribal communities. All grantees who choose to conduct a rigorous local evaluation will be encouraged to participate in the multi-site implementation evaluation to the extent feasible and relevant. During Year 1 of the grants, grantees are expected to maintain existing home visiting services to families while conducting or updating their needs and readiness assessment, improving and enhancing organizational and community infrastructure to carry out grant activities, and developing an implementation plan to respond to identified needs through sustained and/or expanded services (including developing or updating a plan for performance measurement and continuous quality improvement and participating in and/or conducting rigorous evaluation activities). During Years 2-5, grantees will implement approved plans to sustain or expand their high-quality evidence-based home visiting services; implement performance measurement systems and engage in continuous quality improvement activities; engage in activities to strengthen early childhood supports for families; and conduct and/or participate in rigorous evaluation activities. </Description>

        <Description>The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission to Eastern and Southern Caribbean (ESC) based in Barbados is performing this market survey to determine if there are local and regional (within the Eastern and Southern Caribbean region) companies or organizations interested in,and capable of implementing and managing a multi-faceted activity aimed at increasing the capacity of local development entities in the Southern and Eastern Caribbean region through the USAID&amp;#8217;s Local Capacity for Local Solutions Activity. USAID/ESC provides development assistance to organizations and nation states in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean (which comprises Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago) and Grenada. Overall, this development assistance seeks to (1) reduce youth involvement in crime and violence; (2) reduce risks and adapt to the impacts of global climate change; and (3) achieve epidemic control of HIV/AIDS throughout the region. Additional information on the regional USAID strategy can be found at: https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1862/ESC%20RDCS%20Public%20Ver.%2 0UPDATED%206-12-15%20CAR.pdf B. Purpose/Objective The purpose of the Local Capacity for Local Solutions Activity (LC4LS) is to increase the capacity of selected non-profit and non-governmental organizations to expand and sustainably provide services throughout the CARICOM region. To achieve this purpose, USAID plans to finance a select number of development grants through an Implementing Partner (IP) for activities proposed by local and regional organizations that meet capacity and eligibility criteria while providing initial and on-going administrative, organizational, and management training and support. The LC4LS Activity hopes to achieve its purpose through successful and creative implementation approaches as well as skills building to be managed by a selected IP capable of providing the regional multi-faceted assistance and supervision of the Activity will require. The tasks fall into three general areas: A. Managing grants. The selected local or regional company or organization would serve as USAID&amp;#8217;s Implementing Partner (IP) and would lead in identifying, mentoring and strengthening local and regional organizations capable of designing and managing programs that further the USAID/ESC Mission strategy in the areas of youth development, improving the region&amp;#8217;s resilience and adaptation to global climate change, and achieve epidemic control of HIV/AIDS. The compendium of projects to be financed would provide alternative approaches not covered by the Mission&amp;#8217;s signature projects but it will be critically important that they are coordinated with the Mission&amp;#8217;s lead activity in each thematic area. The achievement of the development aims of each grant will be one measure of success. B. Building Institutional, Administrative, and Managerial Capacity and Sustainability of emerging development non-governmental organizations and institutions (NGOs)1 that receive a grant under the Activity. The IP will be responsible for carrying out an institutional needs assessment and designing a capacity strengthening program for each participating institution, including milestones. It is expected that capacity building will be achieved through a combination of formal, non-formal, build on-the-job, and other capacity building methodologies. Thematic areas will include but are not limited to 1) Individual Capacities (leadership and staff development); 2) Organizational Capacities; 3) Resource Mobilization Capacities; and 4) External Relations Capacities. C. Capacity Strengthening of Non-grant Receiving Organizations and Institutions. The IP will be expected to design, deliver, and evaluate effectiveness of capacity building activities, likely in conjunction with Section B activities, for non-grant receiving NGOs working in USAID/ESC&amp;#8217;s assistance areas. The goal will be to strengthen institutions able to design and manage projects; conduct proper organizational planning, budgeting and management; monitor and evaluate their project portfolios; and build a capacity to develop sustainable sources of funding for any current or future USG investments. Together, execution of these three tasks listed above will fully implement the Local Capacity for Local Solutions Activity (LC4LS). The IP will be responsible for the capacity-building initiatives and soliciting, reviewing and ultimately awarding and monitoring the grants described above. Successful implementation will address the objectives and goals of USAID&amp;#8217;s regional development and cooperation strategy, as well as contribute to achieving the technical services mandate of each proposing organization in the technical areas covered by the USAID strategy, as described. Proposals/applications to undertake the tasks mentioned herein may be solicited through several potential mechanisms such as Annual Program Statements, Request for Proposals (RFP), and/or Requests for Application (RFA), among others. At an early point in the selection process, each emerging development organization submitting a proposal will be assessed for administrative, financial management and technical capacity as well as its prospects for achieving organizational, financial and technical sustainability. The IP will be a full partner and potentially lead this assessment process. USAID&amp;#8217;s anticipated development outcome for the LC4LS activity is multiple regional development institutions capable of continuing to supply high quality services2 after completion of the USAID activity and into the future. D. Services Sought USAID is seeking information and expressions of interest from sources interested in applying to become USAID&amp;#8217;s Implementing Partner (IP) for this Activity. The IP may be a local or regional institution or company. It may be a for-profit or not-for-profit entity. It may also be a consortium of organizations or a joint venture of businesses or companies capable of operating regionally. For the Activity, the IP will provide the full gamut of support, management and technical assistance services outlined in Sections A and B above, for the emerging development organizations selected to participate in the LC4LS Activity. In addition, the IP will fulfill monitoring and valuation requirements, perform technical and administrative assessments, ensure coordination with the Mission&amp;#8217;s lead activities under each of the Mission&amp;#8217;s objective areas, and provide technical, financial, procurement, and administrative oversight training. Moreover, as sustainability of each emerging organization is an important result, the IP will help selected organizations to build or strengthen their fund raising/development capacity to assist them to move to financial, as well as technical, organizational and managerial, sustainability. Implementation of the Activity will require that the IP perform management services for USAID. One such service will be to assist in identifying emerging development organizations that might be considered for inclusion in the Activity. A second is to assist selected emerging development organizations to strengthen their administrative, financial and management services. The third is to assist grantee organizations to become sustainable so that they can evolve into capable development partners to the development organizations and governments of the region. This might include international development organizations, regional development entities, world and regional development banks (e.g., CDB), or private companies operating in the region, among others. Illustrative Tasks to be undertaken in conjunction with USAID/ESC include: 1) Solicitation Phase i. Defining the methodology and selection criteria for funding and participation proposals. Criteria will include both requirements for proposals and qualifications of the organizations requesting funding. ii. Identifying local and regional organizations with potential for receiving grants as well as potential for progress toward sustainability. iii. Formalizing the methods for soliciting proposals in the region. iv. Identifying non-grant receiving local and regional organizations to receive capacity strengthening support. 2) Award Phase i. Developing post-submission selection methodology. This will necessarily include an initial phase of proposal evaluation to develop a &amp;#8220;short list&amp;#8221; of qualified proposals based on criteria and relevance to Mission priorities and a &amp;#8220;short list&amp;#8221; of non-grant receiving participant organizations. ii. Conducting initial due diligence of the proposing organizations in the short list. iii. Formalizing the selection system for awards with USAID/ESC. This will require some form of proposal evaluation and ranking of the proposals and the organizations based on criteria in the solicitation for proposals. iv. Completing a full due diligence assessment for the organizations selected for funding. This will include finalization of the award documents to include reporting requirements, work plan, key personnel, etc. Awards will be made and administered by the IP. v. In conjunction with the ESC Mission, conducting the final selection of awards. vi. Processing the awards for proposals to be funded. vii. Conducting required reviews for environmental compliance approval by USAID/ESC for selected awards. 3) Implementation Phase i. The IP will manage all approved LC4LS activities, including oversight of financial, administrative, and technical status, and regular monitoring and evaluation reporting. The IP will provide the Mission with regular report updates. The IP should have sufficient administrative and technical resources available to conduct this requirement. ii. In order to ensure that the NGO organizations that receive funding and capacity building move toward sustainability, the IP will provide innovative, high quality capacity-building including organizational, managerial, administrative and financial system development, fund raising methods, programmatic expertise including activity design and implementation, advocacy and public involvement, etc. Activities and training will be opened to additional USAID grantees outside of the LC4LS grantee group. It is expected that the overall capacity-building approach and methodologies will be developed through new USAID procurement and collaboration instruments (e.g. Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)) intended to accelerate USAID&amp;#8217;s ability to discover, test and scale game-changing innovations by co-creating and co-designing a development solution. Only those organizations and individuals willing to engage in this approach should respond to this Sources Sought activity. iii. The IP will develop and implement the LC4LS activity M&amp;amp;E Plan, in conjunction with the M&amp;amp;E Officer USAID/ESC Mission. This plan must also address the requirements and technical areas of the Mission&amp;#8217;s Performance Management Plan (PMP). Activity outputs will be clearly defined with benchmarks to be reported based on progress and timephased reporting periods demarcated. iv. The IP will ensure that all funded proposals have work plans and timely reporting requirements that include financial reviews, environmental requirements, progress evaluations, and end of activity close out procedures defined. 4) Lessons Learned that are Adaptable to other USAID Mission Activities i. USAID/ESC has principal projects in each of the sectoral areas addressed by the LC4LS activity (youth development, health, and climate change). Over the course of implementing the various grants approved under the Activity, the IP shall identify methodologies and activities that are successful in building sustainability and institutional capacity that could be replicated by the Mission&amp;#8217;s principal projects. This should be documented as &amp;#8220;lessons learned&amp;#8221; in the periodic reports of the IP. The IP will be expected to provide camera-ready beneficiary-focused success stories on various aspects of the program. ii. As the Mission may be looking for potential new partners to work under various elements of the principal activities, the IP shall also identify organizations that have become stronger and are considered to have improved their sustainability. These identified organizations may be presented to the region for consideration by other regional development supporters for future partnerships. E. Anticipated Period and Place of Performance The anticipated period of performance is for five years (2016-2020) for a total estimated amount of up to US$16,000,000.00, subject to funds availability. This estimate includes all funding for activity management, funding for proposals, technical assistance, training, and reporting. Programs and grants may be implemented in all ten countries served by USAID/ESC (Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago) and Grenada. However, this activity is not required to work in all countries in the region. Rather, the Mission is seeking out a select set of development organizations or foundations with the goals, vision and potential to become strong sustainable organizations in their sector and to contribute to that sector and as a contributing member of civil society at the national and regional level. Submission Guidelines Interested organizations should submit a statement describing the capabilities of the organization as they relate to the purpose and requirements outlined above and respond to all of the following questions based on the information provided in this document: &amp;#61623; Each potential IP should prepare a summary background statement that summarizes its understanding of the capacity of local emerging development organizations in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean region, briefly identifying constraints to the development of such organizations. &amp;#61623; Potential IPs should evaluate the illustrative tasks indicated and address how its organization might seek to accomplish them. In addition, each IP is encouraged to add additional tasks or provide alternative strategies in its response that address the challenges faced by potential grantee organizations. &amp;#61623; Each potential IP should propose an organizational structure, complete with skill sets and locational information that will achieve the tasks indicated or suggested. &amp;#61623; Each potential IP should address how it has incorporated innovative, pioneering, cutting edge methodologies, approaches, or concepts into its work with particular attention paid to working in a geographically dispersed setting. In-house developed innovations are of particular interest. &amp;#61623; Finally, potential IPs should outline any additional or other approaches they feel would be important to the achievement of the results outlined for this project.

        <Description>The HIV and AIDS Community Grants Program is a US$1.49 million program funded by the U.S. President&amp;#8217;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to support community-based organizations in the geographic areas with the highest HIV/AIDS burden in South Africa. The Community Grants Program funds organizations that offer evidence based activities in HIV prevention, care and support; capacity building; reduction of stigma and discrimination; and democracy, governance and human rights as related to the national HIV response. Organizations providing any combination of these activities to key populations, people living with HIV, orphans, vulnerable children and youth (OVCY) especially girls and young women will be given preference for funding. In the past year, Community Grants awarded 76 grants at an average of US$17,000 with a one-year implementation period. These grants are being used to fund activities such as the formation of IACT groups, HIV prevention peer mentorship programs, auxiliary social worker training, HTC training and targeted VMMC campaigns. Organizations need to be registered non-profit organizations in operation for at least two years and serving HIV-infected or affected populations within the PEPFAR priority districts in order to be eligible to apply. Applicants will be assessed on standard criteria which include, but are not limited to, feasibility of proposed project, alignment with PEPFAR objectives, sound financial and management controls, a level of sustainability and appropriate community and South African Government linkages.

        <Description>Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division is interested in receiving proposals for research aimed at the development of a sensor that utilizes a small contained amount of ionized gas to simultaneously measure mass-flux and gas species in high-speed, high-enthalpy flows that are endemic of hypersonic flight and SCRAM-jet propulsion. The sensor is based on the optical emission properties of a stable glow discharge or plasma. The use of the plasma sensor for mass-flux measurements has already been demonstrated1. It incorporates a high frequency (1MHz) AC discharge to ionize the gas between two closely spaced electrodes. The voltage drop across the discharge correlates with the time-dependent mass-flux, &amp;#961;U. With an alternate design, the plasma sensor can also be used to measure static pressure. Recent experiments have examined the use of the plasma sensor for spectral analysis of the optical emission produced by the glow discharge. Results for combustion in both Ethylene and Propane indicate that the plasma sensor produces useful emission lines that can be used to measure temperature, density and possibly gas species. Utilizing the other attributes of the plasma sensor, these optical emission measurements could be performed simultaneously with mass-flux and/or pressure in a combined sensor suite. The proposed research seeks to further develop this capability.</Description>

        <Description>This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) provides fiscal year (FY) 2016 funds for the Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program (Tribal MIECHV) Development and Implementation Grants. Funds will support 5-year grants (cooperative agreements) between ACF and federally-recognized Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations to: conduct community needs assessments; develop the infrastructure needed for widespread planning, adopting, implementing, expanding, enhancing, and sustaining of evidence-based maternal, infant, and early childhood home visiting programs; and provide high-quality evidence-based home visiting services to pregnant women and families with young children aged birth to kindergarten entry. This FOA is intended for tribal entities that do not have prior experience with implementing evidence-based home visiting models, performance measurement systems, and rigorous evaluation. A separate FOA (Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program: Implementation and Expansion Grants HHS-2016-ACF-OCC-TH-1162) will be published in FY 2016 for entities with such prior experience. Home visiting programs are intended to promote outcomes such as improved maternal and prenatal health, infant health, and child health and development; reduced child maltreatment; improved parenting practices related to child development outcomes; improved school readiness; improved family socio-economic status; improved coordination of referrals to community resources and supports; and reduced incidence of injuries, crime, and domestic violence. The goals of the Tribal MIECHV program are to support healthy, happy, successful American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) children and families through a coordinated, high-quality, evidence-based home visiting strategy, and to continue to build the evidence base for home visiting in tribal communities. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the agencies collaborating to implement the Tribal MIECHV program within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), also intend for the program to result in a coordinated system of early childhood home visiting in tribal communities that has the capacity to provide infrastructure and supports to assure high-quality, evidence-based practice. During the 5-year project periods of the cooperative agreements, funds will support: - Conducting a needs and readiness assessment of the tribal community that that considers community characteristics and the quality and capacity of existing home visiting programs and other supportive services, examines community readiness to implement a quality home visiting program, is coordinated with other relevant needs assessments, and involves community stakeholders; - Collaborative planning efforts to address identified needs by developing capacity and infrastructure to fully plan for, adopt, implement, and sustain high-quality home visiting programs that have strong fidelity to evidence-based models; - Providing high-quality culturally relevant, evidence-based home visiting services to pregnant women, expectant fathers, and parents and primary caregivers of young children aged birth to kindergarten entry; - Engaging in activities to strengthen the ability of early childhood programs to work together and develop a network of supports for expectant families and families with young children; - Developing and implementing performance measurement and continuous quality improvement systems; and - Conducting rigorous local program evaluations utilizing quality research methods that answer questions of interest to grantee communities and the broader field. A developmental approach will be taken to inform the focus of these rigorous evaluations, with an expected emphasis placed on formative and descriptive evaluations that support high quality development, implementation, adaptation, and enhancement of culturally- and contextually-appropriate home visiting programs. Year 1 funds will be awarded to grantees to: (1) conduct a comprehensive community needs and readiness assessment; and (2) develop a plan and begin to build capacity to respond to identified needs (including developing or updating a plan for performance measurement and continuous quality improvement and conducting rigorous local evaluation activities). During Years 2-5, grantees will implement approved plans to provide high-quality evidence-based home visiting services; implement performance measurement systems and engage in continuous quality improvement activities; engage in activities to strengthen early childhood supports for families; and conduct in rigorous local evaluation activities.</Description>

The objectives of this agreement are for CCFEG to work in close coordination with Reclamation on habitat improvement actions that can be undertaken to address the limiting factors of habitat quality, and floodplain function in key reaches of the Methow River, located in the Methow Sub-basin. The Methow River Draft Final Assessment for Twisp to Carlton Reach report was submitted in March 2015. Subsequent to that submittal, comments were received in April and May 2015 from the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board (UCSRB) Regional Technical Team (RTT) and others regarding the draft final report. Overall, the reviewers believe that the document provides good information about human impacts on the current condition of the study area, including informative narrative of each sub-reach. However, the RTT requested improvements to the organization and the level of detail in the assessment to provide greater support for restoration by giving sponsors more quantitative analyses of the physical conditions of potential project sites, including additional interpretation of existing data sets and field surveys. Reclamation&amp;#8217;s funding would allow the Reach Assessment to be completed on a rapid timeline so that identified projects can be included in evaluation and planning efforts currently under way. CCFEG has requested additional funding to cover the contractor costs, and additional staff time for coordinating and overseeing the completion of the Assessment and the extended contract work. In addition, CCFEG has identified the need to increase staff members for data collection on potential future projects and existing projects that have already been completed. </Description>

        <Description>National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them. These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation. This Task Agreement focuses on planning, administration, public outreach, media, and demonstration projects that are identified in the management plan for the MPNHA and serve a public purpose under P.L. No. 109-338, 120 Stat. 1738. Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service (NPS) is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. NPS staff will provide technical and financial assistance to the Alliance regarding the development and implementation of the management plan; review MPNHA&amp;#8217;s list of applicants and recommended subgrants to ensure compliance with the heritage area&amp;#8217;s management plan and enabling legislation; and provide consultation and technical assistance and ensure all applicable State and Federal laws are adhered too including the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act. </Description>

The Alaska SeaLife Center has a unique ability to bring science to life for both teachers and students by sharing our laboratories, researchers, data, and ISE expertise. In partnership with the OASLC, the Alaska SeaLife Center has conducted annual Fall Teacher Workshops which allow us to facilitate the sharing of information from research conducted both at the ASLC, as well as the research projects being conducted at or in conjunction with the National Park Service. The workshops are a conduit for relaying cutting-edge science from our facilities to classrooms around the state. The workshop will be conducted in October or November 2016 and will focus on creating emotional connections to park resources through educational experiences with marine fauna. The workshop will draw on expertise with relevant marine mammals and birds, sending educators back to the classroom with a toolkit of activities and resources. Objectives and methods: &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#162; Engage 20-30 teachers in a three-day workshop that includes the sharing of scientific data, exposure to scientific processes, curriculum development, and field trips that explore Kenai Fjords National Park resources. Three of these teachers will be selected by park staff for stipends to attend from their rural areas. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#162; Continue contact after the workshop to share developed curriculum, provide a network opportunity, and expose teachers to education technology. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#162; Measure the impact the workshop content had on teachers and their students, specifically related to curriculum development addressing science and stewardship. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#162; Offer 1-credit of professional develop from UAA. &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#162; Create an online community of learners through January 2017 via basecamp.com STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The public purpose of this project is to provide 20-30 K-12 teachers with a work shop to facilitate the sharing of information from marine research conducted both at the Alaska SeaLife Center, as well as pertinent marine research projects being conducted on marine resources around the state.

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region has generated collections of archeological and historical objects and records through its various works. Following 36 CFR 79, federal collections shall be curated by a repository meeting the Department of the Interior or the American Association of Museums standards. The NHMU meets these standards. The NHMU hired by the Secretary of the Interior (National Park Service) to generate the collections before the Colorado River Storage Project dams were built in the 1950s and 1960s. The collections were deposited with NHMU in the 1950s, and under the terms of the original agreements between the United States (National Park Service) and the MNA, they were stipulated to &amp;#8220;retain&amp;#8221; the collection in perpetuity. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Solar Energy Technologies Office, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled &amp;#8220;Solar Energy Evolution and Diffusion Studies II &amp;#8211; State Energy Strategies.&amp;#8221; EERE will issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement for approximately $20.9 million to cover two distinct topics. &amp;#8220;Topic 1&amp;#8221; is targeted at increasing our foundational understanding of technology evolution, soft costs, and barriers to solar deployment in the US. By combining cutting edge research tools with the creation, analysis and functionalization of data and information, this second round of the Solar Energy Evolution and Diffusion Studies (SEEDS) program will examine how solar technologies, the electric grid system, and the institutions that create the solar business marketplace support or inhibit the evolution and diffusion of solar by partnering researchers with data and energy practitioners. &amp;#8220;Topic 2&amp;#8221; will directly tackle soft costs and market barrier challenges at the state and regional level by maximizing the benefits of solar electricity through energy and economic strategic planning. This program targets partnerships between states and utilities that look to develop and implement strategies to: determine or expand renewable energy targets, maximize emissions reductions, hedge against fuel price volatility, create jobs, expand energy access, and increase grid resiliency, etc. EERE plans to issue a FOA in February, 2016 via the EERE Exchange website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/. If Applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding this FOA, they should register in EERE Exchange. When the FOA is released, applications will be accepted only through EERE Exchange.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, is offering a funding opportunity to predict high-impact insect invasion by identifying traits and factors that influence the risk of introduced herbivorous insects on North American native plants. Experts on insect and host plant evolutionary history, presence or absence of host defenses, presence or absence of natural enemies, invader traits, and geographic and temporal considerations will come together to perform a continental study of high impact insect invasions caused by genus specialists. The proposed activities will develop a framework for predicting those insects that will threaten the existence of their novel host plants prior to their establishment. Specific tasks include data compilation and synthesis, model development and validation, and model evaluation and application. Results will be presented at scientific meetings, published in the open literature, and presented to resource managers in fact sheets or outreach bulletins. Data will be made publicly available. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK) funding opportunity is to evaluate elk movement and connectivity data to attempt to predict species range shifts. Invasive species, emerging diseases, and species&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; range shifts due to climate change are three central issues that will drive future biological diversity, as well as human and ecosystem health. In order to understand and predict the spatio-temporal dynamics of natural, invasive, or pathogen population, it must be defined how they are connected to one another. Landscape connectivity has been studied using dispersal, gene flow, and habitat selection data; however, it has been noted that empirically measured dispersal data combined with models of spatial spread often predict slower range expansion than are actually observed. Therefore, the Center would like to assess the potential for three different proposed projects to aid in developing a better understanding of the spatial spread of brucellosis in elk around the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: 1) linking seasonal elk movements to Brucella abortus genetic connectivity; correlating Brucella abortus genetic connectivity with habitat covariates; and Correlating elk dispersal events with habitat covariates. Upon assessing the feasibility and partner interest in the projects mentioned above, the Center will conduct preliminary analysis on at least one of the proposed projects.</Description>

        <Description>The Western Ecological Research Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to one Member of the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The project is titled &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;Arthropod Prey Availability in Cactus Wren Territories in San Diego County&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#157;. This project is aimed at gaining a better understanding of arthropod prey availability in Coastal Cactus Wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus) territories in southern San Diego County, California. Cactus Wren populations in this region have steadily declined over the last decade, possibly in response to drought-associated reductions in prey availability which in turn could be reducing wren fecundity and/or survival of young and adults. Food availability for Cactus Wrens may be affected by habitat quality, as characterized by the composition and abundance of native and non-native plant species and amount of bare ground. During drought years, wrens in territories with poor quality habitat may be even more food limited, making them more vulnerable to decline. Improving habitat quality could thus be a way to increase food availability and enhance wren productivity and survival. Developing management strategies to increase stability of wren populations in years with low rainfall is of particular importance if droughts become more frequent, intense and prolonged in the future, as predicted by climate change models. </Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, is offering a funding opportunity to address local-scale ecosystem resilience in coral reefs to global-scale ocean change. Existing data sets from healthy coral reefs, degraded coral reefs, and reefs with long-term data sets will be used to ask an what combination of species, species traits, ecological properties, and physical conditions are associated with reef oases, what conditions favor broad scale ecosystem recovery of reefs that are oases. Specific tasks include acquiring, evaluating, and publishing biological, physical, chemical and geographical data from USGS and other sources, developing an analytical framework supported by multivariate statistics, structural equation models, and a generalized mixed-effects model, performing literature searches, and preparing manuscripts.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, is offering a funding opportunity to increase quantification and prediction of soil carbon storage, stability, and susceptibility to disturbance. Experimentalists and modelers in the biogeochemical research community will be brought together to synthesize information on mechanisms of soil carbon storage across different soil ecosystems. The proposed activities will directly improve existing terrestrial carbon cycle models and thus our ability to predict the vulnerability of soil carbon to future environmental change and feedbacks to climate. Specific objectives are to (i) build consensus on methods and approaches to assess soil C dynamics, (ii) assemble and review large datasets in conjunction with the International Soil Carbon Network (ISCN), (iii) develop approaches for matching data with models and use models to improve spatial and temporal scaling strategies and (iv) facilitate broad participation of scientific community. Results will be presented at scientific meetings and published in the open literature. Data will be made publicly available.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The Arizona Strip District has been working with an interpretive association since 1994. We require an interpretive association to assist with providing information to the public in the St. George and Kanab, Utah areas. The Arizona Strip District (BLM), St. George Field Office Project (1) (BLM), and Kanab Field Office (BLM) Project (2) require the services of interpretive association(s) to provide public information and respond to public inquiries in BLM offices in St. George, Kanab, and at the Paria Contact Station. This assistance agreement will provide the various interpretive services necessary to conduct day-to-day business with the public in selling and producing interpretive products and programs, directing volunteers and employees to provide information and directions to the public and serving as the agencies&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; intermediary with the public. b. Objectives: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Arizona Strip District (including the Arizona Strip Field Office Vermilion Cliffs National Monument and the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument) and the St. George Field Office require a cooperating interpretive association and will enter into an assistance agreement (AA) with an interpretive association (IA) to assist and support the BLMs educational and interpretive activities and programs by providing educational products and services to the public through interpretive and educational programs, volunteer programs, and retail sales. The IA may also assist the BLM with fee collection and other appropriate projects. The IA will provide services in an interagency visitor center. The BLM and other agencies manage public lands in southern Utah and northern Arizona which incorporate world-renowned scenic vistas, designated wilderness areas, national trails, national monuments, national conservation areas, as well as other natural and cultural resources of interest to the American public. These areas include: Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument; Vermilion Cliffs National Monument; Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area; Red Cliffs National Conservation Area; the Arizona National Scenic Trail; the Old Spanish National Historic Trail; and eligible and suitable wild and scenic river segments of the Paria and Virgin rivers. This astounding landscape requires focused efforts to provide conservation, interpretation, stewardship and educational materials through applicable agreements between agencies and cooperating interpretive associations. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P16AS00031 Project Title Yukon-Charley River National Preserve Subsistence Harvest Survey Recipient Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Subsistence Total Anticipated Award Amount FY16 $108,612 Cost Share NA Anticipated Length of Agreement 3 years Anticipated Period of Performance 2016-2019 Award Instrument NPS Subsistence Advisory Council funding Statutory Authority 16 USC 3119, ANILCA CFDA # and Title 15.946, Cultural Resources Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Required per ANILCA legislation Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro Erica_Cordeiro@nps.gov OVERVIEW The Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve Subsistence Harvest Survey project will provide up-to-date information on subsistence resource use by residents living in the communities of Central, Circle, Eagle, and Eagle Village through a comprehensive subsistence harvest survey, resulting data, and preparation of a report. The specific objective is to conduct a subsistence harvest assessment of the residents of these four communities. The project will be conducted by specialists from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Subsistence, in collaboration with National Park Service staff. The collected information will help to inform Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, State of Alaska, and Federal Subsistence Board decisions regarding resource management. The project will be conducted in three phases, and this Task Agreement provides funding for Phase I, data collection in Central and Circle, Alaska. Contingent upon successful completion of the data collection and available funding, this Task Agreement may be modified to add funding to support data collection in Eagle/Eagle Village and technical report preparation. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Investigators from ADF&amp;amp;G and NPS staff will collaborate to conduct a subsistence harvest assessment of the residents of Central, Circle, Eagle, and Eagle Village, Alaska contingent on community approval. This project will be conducted in two phases. The Phase I objectives are to survey all of the households that agree to participate in Central and Circle, Alaska (approximately 93 households) and to code and review the survey data. Phase II objectives are to survey all of the households that agree to participate in Eagle and Eagle Village, and to code and review the survey data. The Phase III objectives are to produce a draft technical report, have the participating communities review the draft report, and to finalize the technical report. This project involves the following activities: a. After collaboration on the development of the questionnaire, ADF&amp;amp;G will administer a survey to all households each community, documenting households&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; subsistence harvests, production and distribution networks, and economic activities. The survey will be administered in-person by teams consisting of a researcher (typically ADF&amp;amp;G staff) and a local research assistant. In addition to completing the standardized survey instrument, households will also be asked to map harvest locations, search areas, or both for harvested resources. Finally, ADF&amp;amp;G staff will conduct ethnographic interviews with a sample of households to provide context for the survey data. b. ADF&amp;amp;G will code the harvest survey responses, prepare data for analysis, and provide the NPS with integrated SPSS files of the survey results. The ADF&amp;amp;G will conduct preliminary analysis of SPSS data, including comparisons of demography, income and harvest levels over time and complete cross-sectional analysis on the influence of household composition, income, employment, ethnicity and so forth on harvest and distributional patterns; and will enter the data in the ADF&amp;amp;G Community Subsistence Information System. ADF&amp;amp;G will write a technical report that presents a preliminary analysis of the harvest survey and includes the social, economic, and regional contexts for the community findings. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The ADF&amp;amp;G will hold meetings to introduce the project to the study communities of Central, Circle, Eagle, Eagle Village and associated tribal councils. They will contract local research assistants to assist with conducting the surveys. ADF&amp;amp;G will then provide the local researchers with training in survey methodology and administration, and create the survey form and maps for data collection. ADF&amp;amp;G subsistence resource specialists and the local research assistants will then conduct the harvest survey and ethnographic research in Central, Circle, Eagle, and Eagle Village in cooperation with NPS. ADF&amp;amp;G project personnel and other researchers will then code the survey forms, enter survey data into a SPSS database, and conduct preliminary analyses, including producing descriptive statistics on the survey data. The primary products from Phase I: household surveys conducted in Central and Circle and coding and reviewing of the survey data. Phase II: household surveys conducted in Eagle/Eagle Village and coding and reviewing of the survey data. Preliminary analyses from Central and Circle surveys Phase III: Preliminary analyses from Eagle and Eagle Village surveys and SPSS files with the survey results and data from the surveys entered into the Community Subsistence Information System. The completed subsistence harvest surveys (to be stored at ADF&amp;amp;G). NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: collaborating with the cooperator on survey development, obtaining OMB approval for the survey, and conducting harvest survey interviews in collaboration with ADF&amp;amp;G. NPS regional ethnographers will review the survey instrument, participate in data analysis, and review and comment on the draft final report. NPS will also work with the tribal council staff to ensure that the community has an opportunity to review and comment on the draft final report. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; ADF&amp;amp;G has 30 years of experience conducting subsistence surveys in Alaskan communities and processing the resulting data. The ADF&amp;amp;G Division of Subsistence has successful experience in collecting information of this type in communities within rural Alaska and has a support structure in place to collect and analyze these data and to publish the results. It also maintains a statewide database with results of such surveys. ADF&amp;amp;G has established expansive relationships with local stakeholders and Alaska tribal governments through these previous projects. The PI has over 10 years of experience conducting harvest surveys in rural Alaska and has collaborated on over 25 subsistence harvest survey publications. The PI has previous experience working in this region of Alaska and co-authored technical reports such as Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Contemporary Subsistence Harvest of Non-Salmon Fish in the Koyukuk River Drainage, Alaska and The 2002-2003 Harvest of Moose, Caribou, and Bear in Middle Yukon and Koyukuk River Communities. Additionally, the location of the PI and ADF&amp;amp;G offices in Fairbanks minimizes travel time and expenses for this project. Additionally, the NPS and State of Alaska are required by ANILCA to manage land jointly to include Subsistence. The PI is trusted in the communities which is needed in order to obtain correct subsistence information on the surveys. </Description>

This Cooperative Agreement may begin no earlier than December 1, 2016, and may extend for up to 12 months. Description The purpose of this Program Solicitation is to select an organization to assist the National Endowment for the Arts with the 2017 National Heritage Fellowships Awards program by coordinating a concert, ceremony and reception, awardee dinner, and associated events. Each year, the National Endowment for the Arts awards a limited number of lifetime honors to individuals in recognition of their outstanding contributions to our nation&amp;#8217;s artistic heritage. One of these programs, the NEA National Heritage Fellowship Awards, pays tribute and draws public attention to the excellence and diversity of our nation&amp;#8217;s folk and traditional arts. The one-time-only awards go to significant traditional artists from across the country in recognition of their contributions to a particular traditional art form and to the American public through their artistic work. Since 1982, new awardees have travelled to Washington, DC to receive our nation&amp;#8217;s highest honor in this field in a public ceremony and perform in a concert. Through this Program Solicitation, the National Endowment for the Arts seeks a Cooperator to assist in the production and execution of the award program&amp;#8217;s public events including bringing the recipients to Washington, DC and coordinating the various events surrounding the official presentation of the 2017 National Heritage Fellowship awards.</Description>

        <Description>Department of Energy (DOE) has mission-specific workforce needs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields and a responsibility to support the training of the next generation of STEM professionals who will serve that mission. The complex nature of the scientific and technical work supported by DOE and carried out by the DOE laboratories, institutes of higher education (IHE), and the private sector generally requires advanced graduate level training. Historically, the Department&amp;#8217;s primary mechanism for supporting the training of graduate students has been through the inclusion in standard research awards to IHE and DOE laboratories. This FOA will establish DOE-sponsored IHE-led traineeships as a mechanism for graduate-level training critical to DOE mission-driven workforce needs. This will be accomplished through a focused academic graduate program that delivers unique, innovative curriculum, coupled with a rigorous thesis or dissertation research requirement, in the desired DOE-relevant scientific or technical discipline(s). The DOE-sponsored IHE-led traineeships will strategically address identified STEM workforce training needs in the area of radiochemistry. The total Government funding available for any single award under this FOA shall not exceed $3M over five (5) years, subject to availability of funds. This FOA is available at FedConnect (https://www.fedconnect.net) under reference number DE-FOA-0001369.

        <Description>Program Authorizing Statute: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-43) South America is home to some of the most biologically rich sites in the world. The region&amp;#8217;s landscapes host large numbers of endemic species and biodiversity threatened by habitat loss and degradation due to unsustainable land use and high deforestation rates, driven by increased demands of a growing global population for food, forest products, land minerals, and energy. Whereas human activity can be the greatest threat to a region&amp;#8217;s biodiversity, individuals, and local communities and organizations are also the most powerful element for conservation when stakeholders are able to work cooperatively toward shared conservation goals that incorporate the sustainable use of landscapes and natural resources. The challenge is to effectively engage stakeholders at the individual, community, organizational and institutional levels to implement sound conservation actions in a participatory and inclusive way that produces clear conservation results that are sustainable and enduring. Program Goal: Conserve priority species, habitats and ecological processes across landscapes with high biodiversity value in South America. Program Objectives: &amp;#8226; Reduce the underlying threats and address the human elements of biodiversity conservation by supporting the implementation of on the ground projects. &amp;#8226; Conserve flora and fauna by strengthening the ability of local institutions, decision makers and civil society to deliver enduring conservation actions. &amp;#8226; Maximize conservation impact by developing strategic partnerships with key stakeholders at the local, national, regional and international levels. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) funding will be considered for projects that take place in the countries and regions under Geographic Eligibility and that address the priority threats described under Programmatic Funding Priorities, described below. Please review each USFWS funding priority below for specific details, including what USFWS wants to achieve through its funding support (i.e., Desired Results). Each funding priority also identifies factors that, in USFWS experience, are basic requirements (also known as prerequisites or enabling conditions) for projects to effectively implement proposed activities. Applicants should address these factors in the proposal&amp;#8217;s Statement of Need. Proposed activities should identify specific conservation actions that have a high likelihood of creating durable benefits. Project activities that emphasize data collection and status assessment should describe a direct link to management action, and explain how lack of information has been a key limiting factor for management action in the past. Proposals that do not identify how actions will reduce threats, or do not demonstrate a strong link between data collection and management action, are not eligible for consideration. Please note that government endorsement is required for all proposals. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with relevant government authorities prior to preparing applications for USFWS funds. Projects should take place in the countries/regions of South America described under Geographic Eligibility. Please note that projects in Central America are administered through the Wildlife Without Borders &amp;#8211; Central America Program, and in Mexico are administered through the Wildlife Without Borders &amp;#8211; Mexico Program. Due to other grant programs supported by the USFWS, Wildlife Without Borders &amp;#8211; South America will not fund projects related to: Marine Turtles (Marine Turtle Conservation Fund) and Neotropical Migratory Birds (Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act Fund) Geographic Eligibility: The Tropical Andes, including Amazon basin border regions &amp;#8211; Center of mega-diversity. Spanning from western Venezuela to northern Chile and Argentina, including all of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, this region contains approximately one-sixth of all plant life in less than 1 percent of the world&amp;apos;s land area. The Southern Cone &amp;#8211; Landscape diversity and species endemism. Comprised of Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, this region is home to a high number of unique species and landscapes found nowhere else on Earth. The following two eco-regions of the Southern Cone are eligible for USFWS funding in FY 2016: The Gran Chaco Americano is the largest dry forest in South America and the continent&amp;apos;s most extensive forested region outside Amazonia. It is a vast plain extending from the Andes in the west to the Paraguay River in the east, covering parts of northern Argentina, western Paraguay and south-eastern Bolivia. Map of the Gran Chaco: Source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GranChacoApproximate.jpg Patagonia encompasses the southern end of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile. The region comprises the southern section of the Andean mountains as well as the deserts, steppes and grasslands east of the southern portion of the Andes, including the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean coasts. Map of Patagonia: Source: http://www.destination360.com/south-america/argentina/map-of-patagonia Programmatic Funding Priorities: A) Unsustainable land use Description: The USFWS will support projects that benefit landscapes that are clearly justified to be of 1) high conservation value and 2) under immediate and direct threat from unsustainable land use practices (i.e., expansion of agricultural activity, grazing, deforestation, etc.). Through targeted ecosystem and/or landscape-level conservation actions, projects shall directly link identified threats to key stakeholders. Projects should seek to create or promote actions amongst key stakeholders to work cooperatively to identify conservation problems, diagnose causes and jointly identify and implement best practices for conservation and management solutions through a participatory and inclusive process that acknowledges the legitimacy of partner needs and goals and the advantages of concerted collaborative action to address complex resource management challenges. Desired results: Increased conservation and management of threatened landscapes of high conservation value including both protected areas and multi-functional landscapes. Proposals should address one or more of the following: &amp;#8226; Reduction of unsustainable land use activities (e.g., habitat degradation or loss due to the expansion of agriculture and/or cattle ranching/pastures, road and infrastructure) that lead to improved alternative livelihoods, climate change resilience, and/or sustainable food production systems in the biodiversity conservation project area; &amp;#8226; Reduction of threats to highly endangered wildlife and plant species (e.g., harvesting, hunting, fishing, habitat destruction by land use change, wildfires, other); and &amp;#8226; Integration of both human and biological dimensions into conservation policies and programs at the local, national, and/or regional level. Additional desired results related to management or establishment of high value conservation areas: &amp;#8226; Legal declaration of conservation areas (if not formally protected). &amp;#8226; A management plan with clear authority, responsive and flexible enough to be adapted as needed, and implementation of plan by relevant wildlife authorities and other stakeholders. &amp;#8226; Illegal activities curtailed at the conservation area, and public use of the site is consistent with conservation goals. B) Trafficking of illegal species (wildlife, plant and/or timber) and/or illegal wildlife pet trade Description: The USFWS will support local, national and regional (transnational) activities designed and implemented to reduce species (wildlife, plant and/or timber) trafficking and illegal pet trade. Proposals should focus on reducing the market for wild animals, plant and/or timber resources that are illegally and unsustainably harvested. This opportunity will consider both field- and legal system-based projects. Eligible proposals include both projects to combat poaching and habitat degradation in high value conservation areas, as well as projects that increase national political will and legal capacity to improve compliance with anti-trafficking laws and law enforcement. Example activities include disruption of illegal trade networks and control of illicit trade routes; support to national judicial systems and law enforcement offices to apply wildlife-related law; augmentation of the national government&amp;#8217;s capacity to protect high value sites, including protected area management or establishment; and reduction of threats and/or targeted recovery of species that are clearly identified to be threatened. In the project narrative section, proposals should describe current conditions that will enable proposed activities to be successful, including the status of government resources and political will to support field protection missions and/or wildlife law enforcement, existing intelligence and informant networks, and existing project strategies that support good governance and ensure the legal process is not undermined by corruption. Overall desired results: Reduced illegal and/or unsustainable distribution of species (wildlife, plant, and/or timber resources). Decreased availability and commercial activities relating to illegal species. Increased application of wildlife protection laws by in-country decision-makers and law enforcement agents. Regional, transnational and/or international actions that lead to direct cooperation and communication to combat wildlife trafficking. Effective messaging in the media and development community regarding the link between wildlife declines and illegal trade. Proposals should address one or more of the following: &amp;#8226; Identify and address the key human behavior(s) to be changed related to the unsustainable or illegal trade; &amp;#8226; Define credible measure(s) demonstrating effectiveness of project activities, and &amp;#8226; Produce benefits for other species and/or habitats within the project area. Additional desired results related to the legal system: &amp;#8226; Sufficient investigative capacity to identify wildlife traffickers and the evidence that can be used to assist their arrest and prosecution. &amp;#8226; Arrests and prosecutions of suspected wildlife traffickers, and appropriate legal penalties for convicted traffickers. &amp;#8226; National and/or international news and media related to wildlife trafficking law enforcement, and a public awareness that wildlife law is being enforced. &amp;#8226; Items confiscated during anti-trafficking efforts do not re-enter wildlife trade and are stored securely. Additional desired results related to field missions: &amp;#8226; Tactical deployment of field missions to detect and deter illegal activities, including apprehension of poachers and perpetrators of other illegal activities. &amp;#8226; Items confiscated during field activities are appropriately destroyed and/or do not re-enter wildlife trade or poaching activities. &amp;#8226; Reduction in hunting for the illegal trade in wildlife. C) Human-wildlife conflict Description: The USFWS will support local, national and regional (transnational) activities designed to mitigate and reduce conflicts between people and wildlife due to predation on livestock, domestic animals and game species, wildlife disease, and overall damage to human lives and livelihoods in agricultural and multi-use areas located within or near protected areas. Desired results: Reduction or elimination of conflicts between humans and wildlife, including livestock predation, and damage to human lives and livelihoods. Proposals should address one or more of the following: &amp;#8226; pre-emptive techniques to reduce or eliminate conflicts between humans and wildlife, &amp;#8226; reduction of retaliatory attacks and killings of wildlife, &amp;#8226; engagement of relevant constituencies (e.g. ranchers, decision-makers, community or opinion leaders) for peaceful co-existence with wildlife through education, outreach and social marketing campaigns, &amp;#8226; integration of sustainable mechanisms and/or policy incentives for owners to prevent livestock predation at the local, national, and/or regional level, and &amp;#8226; produce benefits for other species and/or habitats within the project area. </Description>

MICD brings U.S. mayors together with design professionals in workshops to assist mayors with urban design challenges, to promote design excellence, and to enhance the livability of communities across the country. Since 1986, the MICD has helped transform communities through design by training more than 1,000 mayors to be the chief urban designers of their cities. MICD achieves its mission by organizing sessions where mayors engage with leading design experts to find solutions to the most critical urban design challenges facing their cities. Institutes are organized around case-study problems in closed-door sessions. Each mayor presents a problem from his or her city and receives feedback from other mayors and design experts. Every year, the MICD hosts at least six institutes held throughout the country. Each 2&amp;#189;-day institute is limited to fewer than twenty participants consisting of two equal cohorts: mayors and a resource team of city design and development professionals. Mayors present a case study that might include a range of challenges, such as waterfront redevelopment, downtown revitalization, transportation planning, and the design of new public buildings such as libraries and arts centers. Following each presentation, mayors and the resource team identify important issues, offer suggestions, and discuss potential solutions. This interchange generates creative solutions to urban design challenges. MICD&amp;#8217;s success stories are well documented on the program&amp;#8217;s website. The program has also been recognized with a number of awards, including a Presidential Award for Design Excellence in 2000. The National Endowment for the Arts will provide general guidance and financial support for the MICD through this Cooperative Agreement. As a federal agency, we regularly issue Program Solicitations for organizations to manage collaborative projects. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide regional access for cryoelectron microscopy (cryoEM) laboratories to state-of-the-art data collection capabilities.NIGMS will support consortia of established and early stage investigator laboratories whose research has an established specialization in and dependence on cryoEM.These laboratories will coordinate with each other to share facilities and resources for direct electron detection.Consortia will consist of a host institution which already has a modern high-performing cryoEM installation and proven capabilities for high-resolution data collection, partnered with regional participating institutions.A consortium will support surplus capacity for cryoEM data collection (infrastructure and services) at the host institution and make it available as a resource for the participating regional institutions.Projects will support access for cryoEM laboratories at participating institutions to resources and services at host sites.Projects will (a) contribute to the fixed costs of maintaining the host facility and extend services in proportion to the resources dedicated to the regional users and (b) support access to the facility by the regional laboratories.The host institution need not already have an electron detector; this FOA can help fund acquisition of direct detection equipment.Support is limited to enabling the participating cryoEM laboratories to collect data and perform the initial stages of processing raw images, and does not include other research activities.Consortia will consist of a minimum of 3-5 institutions; award budgets will depend on the number and data collection needs of the regional participating cryoEM laboratories.This initiative is not intended to support service centers of the traditional type in which the host laboratory performs the cryoEM analysis for non-specialist collaborators.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) will award funding to enhance the capacity of family drug courts. The Family Drug Courts program builds the capacity of states, state and local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments to either implement new drug courts or enhance pre-existing drug courts for individuals with substance abuse disorders or substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, including histories of trauma, who are involved with the family dependency court as a result of child abuse, neglect, and other parenting issues. Applicants must provide services to the children of the parents in the program as well as to the parents. This program provides seed money, not long-term support. OJJDP expects successful applicants to develop and implement a sustainability plan during the grant period to continue operation of the family drug court when the grant ends. This program is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 3797u, et seq. </Description>

The symposium will highlight how science and scholarship have shaped the past 100 years of national park management, and provide a forward look at the next century of collaborative science and scholarship in Alaska&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s national parks. Sessions will feature research and stewardship in national parks and celebrate the partnerships essential to park management. The Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS) is uniquely qualified to assist with the NPS Alaska Centennial Science and Stewardship Symposium due to their extensive local knowledge, capacity for efficient communication with local NPS staff, and experience with planning existing research programs and formal ties to Alaska-based research institutions. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN NPS staff and ARCUS employees will collaborate to plan and carry out a symposium that highlights research and stewardship activities occurring in national parks in Alaska. The symposium will expand overall knowledge regarding the key role of science, scholarship, and stewardship in national park management. Additionally, the symposium will facilitate communication between individuals at the National Park Service, other federal agencies, state agencies, non-profit organizations, and research institutions. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT ARCUS will: * Support NPS in the symposium planning process by providing feedback and guidance regarding: symposium goals and purpose, symposium proceedings, agenda and supporting materials, and venue arrangements * Develop an online registration and registration payment process and forms * Manage the online registration process, answer questions from participants; export data as needed for meeting organizers * Administer and transfer symposium registration fees, per NPS instructions * Design, develop, maintain, and update basic website structure, design, and content; site to include registration portal, conference information, and abstract submission process and form. * Print a limited set of materials for participants, such as agenda and participant list * Work with NPS staff to develop symposium branding and outreach materials * Assist with on-site logistics during the symposium (as necessary) NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT NPS will: * Lead symposium planning process * Communicate with Fairbanks vendors regarding symposium logistics (participant lodging, symposium venue/day-of logistics, and participant travel) * Work with ARCUS to develop symposium branding and outreach materials * Develop symposium goals and purpose, agenda and supporting materials * Manage abstract submissions * Conduct outreach to ensure symposium attendance includes participants from a variety of organizations and disciplines * Select symposium presenters * Oversee symposium sessions * Manage and edit symposium proceedings * Publish symposium proceedings in Alaska Park Science SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable. In order for an assistance award to be made without competition, the award must satisfy one or more of the following criteria: (1) Unsolicited Proposal &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited assistance application which represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach which is not the subject of a current or planned contract or assistance award, but which is deemed advantageous to the program objectives; (2) Continuation &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity; (3) Legislative intent &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; intent to restrict the award to a particular recipient of purpose; (4) Unique Qualifications &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications; (5) Emergencies &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; Program/award where there is insufficient time available (due to a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety) for adequate competitive procedures to be followed. NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: Unique Qualifications &amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191; The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications ARCUS is a non-profit corporation consisting of 50 institutions that are organized and operated for educational, professional, and scientific purposes. The purpose of ARCUS is to provide leadership in advancing knowledge and understanding of the Arctic by: *Serving as a forum for planning, facilitating, coordinating, and implementing disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies of the Arctic; *Acting as a synthesizer and disseminator of scientific information relevant to state, national, and international programs of arctic research; and *Encouraging and facilitating the education of scientists and the public in the needs and opportunities of research in the Arctic. With the sponsorship of relevant agencies, ARCUS draws on and works with the academic community and funding agencies, providing community leadership by: *convening science planning committees and working groups to develop and focus program recommendations and to suggest appropriate implementation strategies, *organizing efforts to address various science, policy, and advocacy concerns, and *fostering the transfer of knowledge nationally and internationally. In that role, ARCUS has organized over 75 meetings and workshops devoted to arctic science planning since its inception in 1988, including workshops for the National Park Service Arctic Network. ARCUS is uniquely qualified to satisfy agency requirements because: 1. Efficient communication and cooperation with the NPS-Alaska symposium planning committee is best accomplished by a local (Fairbanks) supplier. 2. ARCUS provides a capability beyond the scope of other symposia planners because of their involvement with planning existing research programs and formal ties to Alaska-based research institutions. ARCUS can offer unique insights during the planning process because of their vast experience assisting with similarly themed science symposia hosted by NPS and other federal agencies in Alaska. No other known entity combines capabilities in meeting logistics and facilitation, publication of technical documents related to Alaska science planning and policy, and coordination of interdisciplinary science in Alaska. </Description>

        <Description>THE PURPOSE OF MODIFICATION 000001 IS TO CHANGE THE END DATE FROM 31 JULY TO 20 APRIL 2016ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The Challenge Cost Share (CCS) Program was started in 1985 when Congress appropriated money within the wildlife program for partnership conservation projects. Since then the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has expanded this cost-share program to include other resource programs with partnership opportunities. The CCS program now funds the following kinds of activities: research, monitoring and inventory of resources; implementation of habitat improvement projects, protection or documentation of cultural resources; providing for enhanced recreational experiences; development and implementation of species conservation and recovery plans; environmental education; conservation projects for native plant communities and eradication of noxious and other weeds. In Arizona, the program is managed to maintain a variety of partnerships for wildlife, recreation, cultural resources, rare plants, plant community conservation, fisheries and riparian habitat at the local level. Our goal in Arizona BLM is to have a diverse CCS program based on partnerships primarily developed with the field office or district staffs. In 2016 we will manage the program to implement a variety of important projects that include resource inventory, monitoring and research, environmental education, habitat and plant community restoration, cultural site protection, special status species management, recreation and OHV management. The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Network is a national consortium of federal agencies, academic institutions, tribal, state, and local governments, nongovernmental conservation organizations (300 partners). The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) is a cooperative network, transcending political and institutional boundaries, which creates innovative opportunities for research, education, and technical assistance in support of the management and stewardship by partner agencies of the Desert Southwest&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s natural, cultural, and social resources.The CESU has a unique collaborative relationship with research scientists, end users of research products, the public, and educators who are trained to bridge the gap between researchers, science users and educators. b. Objectives: The objective of the Arizona CCS program is to have a cost effective, local-level cost share program with non-federal partners to implement conservation or other public land management projects for the good of the general public and public resources, including but not limited to, recreation, fish, wildlife, special status plants, water quality, cultural sites and historical trails.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP), to increase the number of qualified nursing faculty. The NFLP provides funding to schools of nursing to support the establishment and operation of a distinct, interest-bearing NFLP loan fund. Participating schools of nursing make loans from the fund to assist registered nurses in completing their graduate education to become qualified nurse faculty. The program offers partial loan forgiveness for borrowers that graduate and serve as full-time nursing faculty for the prescribed period of time. Under the Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, Title VIII, section 846A was amended to increase the annual loan limit to $35,500 from $30,000 and will be adjusted after FY 2011 to provide for cost-of-attendance increases for the yearly loan rate and the aggregate loan. Section 847(f) added a funding priority for sections 847 and 846A of the PHS Act. This funding priority will be awarded to School of Nursing Student Loans that supports doctoral nursing students. Eligible applicants are accredited collegiate schools of nursing that offer an advanced nursing degree program(s) that prepare graduate students to teach. The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), acting through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is authorized to enter into an agreement with the school and make an award to the school in the form of a Federal Capital Contribution (FCC). The school must use the FCC to establish a distinct account called the NFLP fund. The school is required to deposit an Institutional Capital Contribution (ICC) that is equal to no less than one-ninth of the FCC. The account may only be used to make loans to graduate nursing students who agree to meet the requirements of the NFLP and for the costs associated with the collection of the loans and the interest on the loans. Participating schools make NFLP loans from the loan fund to eligible graduate (master&amp;apos;s and doctoral) nursing students to complete their nursing education programs. Students may receive NFLP loans up to $35,500 per academic year for a maximum of five years to support the cost of tuition, fees, books, laboratory expenses and other reasonable education expenses. Following graduation from the nursing program, the nursing school will cancel up to 85 percent of the loan principal and interest in exchange for the loan recipient&amp;apos;s service as a full-time nursing faculty at a school of nursing, with a certain percentage cancelled each year for up to four years. The loan cancellation over the four-year period is as follows: 20 percent of the principal and interest may be canceled upon completion of each of the first, second, and third years of full time employment, which, after the three year period, totals 60 percent, followed by the cancellation of 25 percent of the principal and interest upon completion of the fourth year of full-time employment as a faculty member in an accredited school of nursing. Repayment on the remaining 15 percent of the loan balance is postponed during the cancellation period. NFLP loans are repayable and/or cancelled over a ten-year repayment period that begins 9 months after the individual ceases to pursue a course of study at a school of nursing. NFLP loans accrue interest at a rate of three percent per annum for loan recipients who establish employment as nurse faculty. </Description>

        <Description>The DPA Title III gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon carbide (SiC) Advanced EW monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) Production Capability Project will establish a domestic, economically viable, open-foundry merchant supplier production capability for high frequency, wide bandwidth (32 &amp;#150; 38 GHz), MMICs employing GaN epitaxy on 100mm SiC substrates. An open-foundry merchant supplier is one whose business model makes its production capabilities available for use by external companies to fabricate chips to their own specifications. It is evidenced by the presence of a process design kit (PDK) that captures the design rules and processes in a manner that allows external users to design chips that meet their needs in a small number (preferable first pass) of design iterations.</Description>

        <Description>The Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-615), authorized DOT to provide assistance to public sector employees through training and planning grants to States, Territories, and federally recognized Native American Tribes for emergency response. The purpose of this grant program is to increase State, Territorial, Tribal, and local effectiveness in safely and efficiently handling hazardous materials incidents, enhance implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), and encourage a comprehensive approach to emergency training and planning by incorporating the unique challenges of responses to transportation situations. The HMEP program is authorized under 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) part 5116 and is governed by program regulations at 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 110 and Federal grants administration regulations at 2 CFR part 200.On December 4, 2015, The Fixing Americas Surface Transportation (FAST) Act was signed into law (Public Law No: 114-94). The FAST Act reauthorized the HMEP Grant Program through Fiscal Year (FY) 2020. Also, Title VII, Section 7203 of the FAST Act amended 49 U.S.C. part 5116 to combine planning and training grants into Section 5116 (a). Therefore, beginning in FY16 HMEP applicants are no longer required to separately apply and account for planning and training funds. Under 49 U.S.C. part 5116, Training and Planning Grants are available to: (1) Develop, improve, and carry out emergency plans under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C. part 11001 et seq.), including ascertaining flow patterns of hazardous material on lands under the jurisdiction of a State or Native American tribe, and between lands under the jurisdiction of a State or tribe and lands of another State or tribe. (2) Train public sector employees to respond to accidents and incidents involving hazardous material incidents. To the extent that a grant is used to train emergency responders, the applicant must ensure that the emergency responders who receive training under the grant will have the ability to protect nearby persons, property, and the environment from the effects of accidents or incidents involving the transportation of hazardous material in accordance with existing regulations.</Description>

        <Description>EPA is issuing this Request for Applications (RFA) to fund research into issues of water quality and availability related to distribution systems and premise plumbing systems under lower-flow conditions. The National Research Council (NRC) defines &amp;#8220;premise plumbing&amp;#8221; as that portion of the distribution system from the main water ferrule or water meter to the consumer&amp;#8217;s tap in homes, schools, and other buildings. The national scope and high priority of these issues of water quality and availability related to premise plumbing and water distribution systems is evidenced by this NRC report, which attests that a substantial proportion of the nation&amp;#8217;s waterborne disease outbreaks is attributable to issues within these systems. Increasing potential incidences of disinfection residual loss due to the high water age will only exacerbate this situation (NRC, 2005).</Description>

        <Description>The primary objective of this FOA is to develop a patient-reported outcome performance measure (PRO-PM) for contraceptive services, in a manner in which it may be submitted to the National Quality Forum (NQF) for endorsement. The use of clinical performance measures in the context of broader quality improvement processes has been shown to improve the quality of care.[1] The Triple Aim has highlighted the importance of using quality improvement to monitor and drive improvements in health outcomes, client experience and cost savings.[3] This effort focuses on filling a critical gap in performance measures, i.e., the need for validated measures of client experience with contraceptive services.</Description>

        <Description>The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Headquarters&amp;apos; Civil Rights (HCR) Office requests Statements of Work (SOWs) for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 NSTI Program. The NSTI program is a Science, Technology and Math (STEM) focused program for high school and junior high school students. It is administered by accredited colleges, community colleges and universities, accredited Tribal colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Asian-American Native American Pacific Island Serving Institutions (ANAPISI) throughout the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Pacific Island territories and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These institutions make application to the State DOT (State DOTs) to serve as NSTI Host sites. State DOTs provide NSTI program oversight to the host sites. The FHWA Division Offices Civil Rights Specialists provide program guidance to the State DOTs in their oversight of the NSTI program. Academic institutions interested in serving as host sites must complete and submit their application package to the State DOT. The NSTI program objectives are to improve STEM skills, provide awareness to middle and high school students - particularly minority, female and disadvantaged youth - about transportation careers, and encourage them to consider transportation-related courses of study in their higher education pursuits. Host sites are required to commit significant program time to classroom participation. The length of the program is typically 2-4 consecutive weeks. Host sites may choose to be student day programs or residential programs in which room and board are provided by the Host Sites to the students. For more information including the application packet and deadline for submission, please contact your State DOT Representative or your local FHWA Civil Rights Specialist in your State by clicking on the link below.</Description>

The Title X statute specifies that local and regional public or private nonprofit entities may apply directly to the Secretary for a Title X family planning services grant under this announcement. Funding of applications that propose to rely on other entities to provide services will take into consideration the extent to which the applicant indicates it can provide the required services and best serve individuals in need throughout the anticipated service area. For applicants that will not provide all services directly, the applicant must document the process it will use for providing an opportunity to receive subawards to qualified entities eligible to receive federal funds in providing services throughout the service area to meet the needs of project beneficiaries.</Description>

        <Description>Since 1991, the Administration on Aging (AoA) within the U.S. Administration for Community Living (ACL) has supported the National Information &amp;amp; Referral Support Center (the Support Center). The Support Center was established to assist the aging network of State Agencies on Aging, Area Agencies on Aging, Tribal organizations, and local aging information and referral/assistance (I&amp;amp;R) providers enhance the quality and professionalism of their information and assistance systems. Since 2003, the Support Center has expanded its reach by providing technical assistance and training to Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) and other organizations that provide aging and disability I&amp;amp;R services. The Support Center provides technical assistance, training, product development and consultation to assist I&amp;amp;R systems strengthen their programs. Since inception the Support Center has played a critical and important role in the evolution and advancement of aging and disability I&amp;amp;R. To assist aging and disability I&amp;amp;R programs expand and respond to current and emerging issues, ACL will fund a new Cooperative Agreement to continue the Support Center as a resource for aging and disability I&amp;amp;R programs.</Description>

        <Description>This special joint NLG-Libraries and NLG-Museums initiative invites proposals for research on informal educational approaches that leverage community Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) professionals in the broadest sense. Funded research projects will create a foundation for reaching children and families from diverse economic, social, and cultural backgrounds, with different levels of knowledge about STEM. We are interested in proposals for design-based research projects that develop and explore models for inquiry-based STEM programs delivered by scientists, engineers, and related technical practitioners (STEM experts) to children ages 6-10 and their families. In particular, proposals should address the role of expert oral narratives (e.g., storytelling, personal histories, and analogies) as part of object-based science inquiry. Proposals should include information about how findings from this research will be applicable in both museum and library settings.</Description>

        <Description>The Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative (WHMSI) seeks to contribute significantly to the conservation of the migratory species of the Western Hemisphere by strengthening communication and cooperation among nations, international conventions and civil society, and by expanding constituencies and political support. All entities that support the vision, mission and objectives of this initiative are invited to be partners in its implementation. The Initiative aims to strengthen political commitment, cooperation, and public-private partnerships at regional, national, and local levels. In order to keep this geographically and culturally diverse group of stakeholders engaged in WHMSI&amp;#146;s development and activities, WHMSI.net needs to offer a technologically current, easy-to-use clearinghouse of information about the Initiative&amp;#146;s mission, structure, accomplishments, and goals; post updates on migratory species-related news and events; and provide the tools to communicate with participants between WHMSI conferences. Rainforest Alliance will continue to promote the mission, goals, and accomplishments of the Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative to stakeholders in government agencies and non-governmental conservation organizations and build capacity by providing high-quality, regularly updated, bilingual communications tools.</Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Adult Treatment Drug Courts and Adult Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts. The purpose of this program is to expand and/or enhance substance use disorder treatment services in existing adult problem solving courts, and adult Tribal Healing to Wellness courts, which use the treatment drug court model in order to provide alcohol and drug treatment (including recovery support services, screening, assessment, case management, and program coordination) to defendants/offenders. Grantees will be expected to provide a coordinated, multi-system approach designed to combine the sanctioning power of treatment drug courts with effective substance use disorder treatment services to break the cycle of criminal behavior, alcohol and/or drug use, and incarceration or other penalties. Priority for use of grant funds should be given to addressing gaps in the continuum of treatment for individuals in these courts who have substance use disorders or co-occurring substance use and mental disorder (COD) treatment needs. Grant funds must be used to serve people diagnosed with a substance use disorder as their primary condition. SAMHSA will use discretion in allocating funding for these awards, taking into consideration the specific drug court model (Adult Treatment Drug Courts and Adult Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts), as appropriate, and the number of applications received per model type.</Description>

        <Description>NVPO provides strategic direction for the coordination of the vaccine and immunization enterprise through the National Vaccine Plan (NVP) implementation. In part, NVPO works to support the multiple Federal and partner agencies that foster collaboration and facilitate accurate, transparent, and audience-appropriate communication strategies about vaccines and vaccination. Thoughtful communications and education about the safety, efficacy, the value of vaccines to individual and population health, and the importance of timely adherence to the recommended immunization schedules, is imperative in helping people make informed decisions about immunization for themselves and their families. Recently, the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC), which provides advice and recommendations to the Assistant Secretary for Health, identified vaccine confidence as an essential precursor to vaccine acceptance and high immunization coverage. Overall, there is much good news in the U.S. when it comes to recommended vaccines and vaccinations. Vaccination rates among children are high and the vast majority of parents are following the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended schedule. Healthcare providers are highly supportive of vaccines and immunization recommendations and are a trusted source of information and guidance for most parents.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to the proposed modification to the accounting of renewable energy (RE) source energy. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) proposes to replace the &amp;#8220;fossil-fuel equivalency&amp;#8221; approach with the alternative &amp;#8220;captured energy&amp;#8221; approach described below. This would impact the site-to-source ratios used in analyses that inform EERE reports, standards, and evaluations. This methodological choice is important as renewable generation continues to grow and accounts for more significant portions of the nation&amp;#8217;s electricity production. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications, and no financial assistance is being provided. Please see the full RFI DE-FOA-0001512 &amp;#8220;Accounting Conventions for Non-Combustible Renewable Energy&amp;#8221; document in EERE Exchange at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/. EERE seeks feedback on using an alternative methodology for calculating source energy from non-combustible renewable resources in analysis that informs EERE products, reports, and standards &amp;#8211; such as the Home Energy Score. The current &amp;#8220;fossil-fuel equivalency&amp;#8221; approach uses the equivalent average heat rate of fossil fuels to convert renewable electricity to source energy (approximately 9,500 BTU/kWh), while the proposed &amp;#8220;captured energy&amp;#8221; approach would use the heat content of electricity (3,412 BTU/kWh). This proposed change would better represent the lack of fuels used in generating renewable electricity, and would result in a slightly lower site-to-source ratio than the current approach. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to EERE.Analysis@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (ET) on March 14, 2016. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. It is recommended that attachments with file sizes exceeding 25MB be compressed (i.e., zipped) to ensure message delivery. Responses must be provided as a Microsoft Word (.docx) attachment to the email, and no more than 20 pages in length, 12 point font, 1 inch margins. Only electronic responses will be accepted. Please identify your answers by responding to a specific question or topic if applicable. Respondents may answer as many or as few questions as they wish. EERE will not respond to individual submissions or publish publicly a compendium of responses. A response to this RFI will not be viewed as a binding commitment to develop or pursue the project or ideas discussed. Respondents are requested to provide the following information at the start of their response to this RFI: Company / institution name; Company / institution contact; Contact&amp;apos;s address, phone number, and e-mail address. Please see the full RFI DE-FOA-0001512 document at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/.</Description>

        <Description>To access the full Broad Agency Announcement, research topics, and application instructions, click on the &amp;apos;Related Documents&amp;apos; and &amp;apos;Package&amp;apos; tabs at the top. This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Foundational Science Research Unit (FSRU) of the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) solicits new proposals for its fiscal year 2016 program of basic research in behavioral science. It is issued under the provisions of paragraph 6.102(d) (2) and 35.016 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which provides for the competitive selection of proposals. Proposals submitted in response to this BAA and selected for award are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the provisions of Public Law 98-369, the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984, and subsequent amendments. The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences is the Army&amp;apos;s lead agency for the conduct of research, development, and analyses for the improvement of Army readiness and performance via research advances and applications of the behavioral and social sciences that address personnel, organization, training, and leader development issues. The basic research program supports research projects that are designed to expand fundamental knowledge and discover general principles in the behavioral and social sciences. Proposals should describe their contribution to theory and how their results might lead to basic behavioral research that would be meaningful to the Army. Those contemplating submission of a proposal are encouraged to submit a white paper before submitting a full proposal. This sequence allows earliest determination of the potential for funding and minimizes the labor and cost associated with submission of full proposals that have minimal probability of being selected for funding. Costs associated with white paper or full proposal submissions in response to this BAA are not considered allowable direct charges to any resulting award. These costs may be allowable expenses to normal bid and proposal indirect costs specified in FAR 31.205-18. Offerors submitting proposals are cautioned that only a Government Contracting or Grants Officer may obligate the Government to any legal instrument involving expenditure of Government funds. Decisions to award new basic research awards are subject to funds availability, and ARI may choose to not award any new basic research awards due to unavailability of funds or other factors. Due to Government budget uncertainties, (1) no specific dollars have been reserved for total awards under this BAA, and (2) no award floor or ceiling thresholds have been established for individual awards under this BAA. Proposals are sought from educational institutions, non-profit/not-for-profit organizations, and commercial organizations, domestic or foreign, for research and development (R&amp;amp;D) in those areas specified in SECTION A of the Broad Agency Announcement. Foreign owned, controlled, or influenced organizations are advised that security restrictions may apply that could preclude their participation in these efforts. Government laboratories, Federal Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and U.S. Service Academies are not eligible to participate as prime contractors or recipients. However, they may be able to participate as subcontractors or subrecipients (eligibility will be determined on a case by case basis). </Description>

        <Description>The Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument (GSENM) has been collecting information on resource and social challenges, and public use trends for 20 years. In particular, GSENM has been monitoring visitation and camping impacts along roads and in the backcountry. This data has been compiled along with briefing reports and graphs of data can be found in Dr. David Coles Visitor Use Management in the Escalante Canyons of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, May 2015. In addition, GSENM has twelve years of backcountry monitoring study data from Northern Arizona University that provides baseline data for the continuation of these types of studies. This project is intended to continue the inventory and monitoring of recreation impacts primarily in backcountry and dispersed areas throughout GSENM. It will include monitoring for both overnight camping and road-based impacts through a network of more than 700 dispersed campsites and 800 miles of roads as well as newly identified recreation nodes in backcountry areas. Monitoring will focus on dispersed recreation impacts at newly identified sites associated with wilderness therapy programs permitted to operate in the backcountry on the south side of the Monument. This project is based on a planning approach entitled Limits of Acceptable Change which assumes that the number and extent of physical human impacts on any recreation site are useful indicators. A variety of indicators were developed historically to measure physical impacts. The recipient will continue to monitor using these existing indicators and will be given access to build on existing data compiled over a 12 year period, as well as develop and implement new monitoring protocols based on indicators and thresholds to address growing day-use visitation impacts for subsequent years of the project. </Description>

        <Description>Community Policing Development (CPD) funds are used to advance the practice of community policing in law enforcement agencies through training and technical assistance, demonstration projects, the development of innovative community policing strategies, applied research, guidebooks, and best practices. The COPS Office, a federal provider of innovative, customer-focused resources that address the continuing and emerging needs of those engaged in enhancing public safety through community policing, has designed the CPD solicitation to address critical topics in the law enforcement field by building on the principles of community policing. The 2016 CPD program has been established to fund specific projects related to the following topic areas: (1) Microgrant Initiative for Law Enforcement; (2) Critical Response Technical Assistance; (3) Community Policing Emerging Issues Forums; (4) Community Policing Training, (5) Law Enforcement Led 21st Century Policing Demonstration Projects, (6) 21st Century Policing Implementation Projects and (7) Invitational Awards. There is up to $5.5 million in CPD funds, subject to the availability of funding, and the COPS Office aims to fund numerous projects. All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by law. Funding is limited, and we expect this solicitation to be very competitive. The COPS Office may make some awards from the CPD solicitation in the form of a cooperative agreement, which is the funding instrument used if the COPS Office anticipates ongoing substantial involvement in award activities. Cooperative agreement recipients will be responsible for day-to-day project management but should expect direct oversight and collaboration by the COPS Office in implementing the award. Examples of substantial federal involvement may include, but are not limited to, participating in the selection of key recipient personnel; providing feedback on deliverables before publication; approving all conference-related costs prior to obligation; and redirecting the work as appropriate.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Each applicant for both Phase I and Phase II must qualify as a small business concern for R/R&amp;amp;D purposes, as defined in Section 1.06 of this FFO, at the time of award. In addition, the primary employment of the principal investigator must be with the small business at the time of the award and during the conduct of the proposed research. Primary employment means that more than one-half of the principal investigator&amp;apos;s time is spent working with the small business. Primary employment with a small business precludes full-time employment with another organization. Occasionally, deviations from this requirement may occur, which must be approved in writing by the NIST Grants Officer after consultation with the SBIR Program Manager. Further, a small business may only replace the principal investigator on an SBIR Phase I or Phase II award if the NIST Grants Officer provides prior written approval. Personnel obtained through a Professional Employer Organization or other similar personnel leasing company may be considered employees of the awardee.    </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) invites small businesses to submit Phase I research applications under this Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO). Firms with strong research capabilities in any of the areas listed in Section 9 of this FFO are encouraged to participate. Applications not addressing one of the subtopics in Section 9 are not responsive to this FFO. The NIST FY 2016 SBIR program identifies and solicits applications in topics that fall within NIST&amp;#8217;s mission and allow collaboration between NIST scientists and the SBIR awardees whenever possible. In order to ensure a greater strategic alignment between the SBIR program and NIST&amp;#8217;s laboratory research program, the SBIR topics are the priority areas identified in the NIST Programmatic Plan FY 2016-2018 available at: http://www.nist.gov/director/planning/planning.cfm.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research grant applications that define molecular and cellular targets mediating alcohol effects at concentrations of 10 mM and below. It has been well established that alcohol at relatively high concentrations modulate a variety of receptors and ion channels, intracellular signaling cascades, and gene expression in the brain. Significant knowledge gaps, however, remain in understanding how the brain responds to low doses of alcohol and what molecular targets mediate alcohol action at concentrations below 10 mM. The purpose of this FOA is to support research efforts to identify targets mediating effects of low-dose alcohol at molecular, cellular, and circuit levels.</Description>

        <Description>CHP provides funding directly to law enforcement agencies to hire and/or rehire career law enforcement officers in an effort to increase their community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts. 2016 CHP grants will cover up to 75 percent of the approved entry-level salary and fringe benefits of each newly-hired and/or rehired, full-time sworn career law enforcement officer over the three-year (36 months) grant period, with a minimum 25 percent local cash match requirement and a maximum federal share of $125,000 per officer position. CHP grant funding will be based on your agency&amp;#8217;s current entry-level salary and fringe benefits for full-time sworn officers; any additional costs for higher than entry-level salaries and fringe benefits will be the responsibility of the grantee agency. All agencies&amp;#146; requests will be capped at no more than five percent of their actual sworn force strength as reported at the time of updated application, up to a maximum of 25 officers. Agencies with a service population of 1 million or above may apply for up to 25 officer positions; agencies with a service population less than 1 million may apply for up to 15 officer positions. [The request of any agency with a sworn force less than or equal to 20 will be capped at one officer.] Funding under this program may be used to:&amp;#149; Hire new officers, which includes filling existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded in your agency&amp;#8217;s budget. &amp;#149; Rehire officers who have already been laid off from any jurisdiction as a result of state, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) budget reductions. The rehired officers must be rehired on or after the official grant award start date as it appears on your agency&amp;#8217;s award document. Documentation must be maintained showing the dates that the positions were laid off and rehired.&amp;#149; Rehire officers who are (at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid off by your jurisdiction on a specific future date as a result of state, local, or BIA budget reductions. Grantees will be required to continue funding the positions with local funding until the dates of the scheduled lay-offs. The dates of the scheduled lay-offs and the number of positions affected must be identified in the CHP application. CHP grants can be used to hire and or rehire School Resource Officers. Please note that the COPS Office requires that the officer(s) deployed into the SRO position(s) spend a minimum of 75 percent of their time in and around primary and/or secondary schools, working on youth-related activities. The time commitment of the funded officers must be above and beyond the amount of time that the agency devoted to the schools before receiving the grant. There must be an increase in the level of community policing activities performed in and around primary or secondary schools in the agency&amp;#8217;s jurisdiction as a result of the grant.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research grant applications that define molecular and cellular targets mediating alcohol effects at concentrations of 10 mM and below. It has been well established that alcohol at relatively high concentrations modulate a variety of receptors and ion channels, intracellular signaling cascades, and gene expression in the brain. Significant knowledge gaps, however, remain in understanding how the brain responds to low doses of alcohol and what molecular targets mediate alcohol action at concentrations below 10 mM. The purpose of this FOA is to support research efforts to identify targets mediating effects of low-dose alcohol at molecular, cellular, and circuit levels.</Description>

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligible applicants are individuals, institutions of higher education, other nonprofits, for-profit organizations, foreign public entities or foreign organizations, and state, local and Indian tribal governments.  Federal agencies or instrumentalities are not eligible to receive Federal assistance under this notice.    The Department of Commerce/ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (DOC/NOAA) is strongly committed to broadening the participation of historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and institutions that work in underserved areas.     If the applicant is a university that has a NOAA Cooperative Institute (CI), the institution is encouraged to submit an application that will be associated with the CI. The application must specify the name of the CI, its most recent award number, and the NOAA-approved research theme applicable to the work to be performed in the project narrative. The application will use the facilities and administrative rate (F&amp;amp;A or Indirect Cost Rate) associated with the most recent CI award.    If the application is selected for funding, NOAA will notify the university that a separate competitive award will be issued with its own award grant number. However, the competitive award will include a Special Award Condition (SAC) that evidences the link between it and the CI award. The SAC will provide: (1) that the university has submitted the proposal to be associated with the CI; (2) that any existing University/NOAA memorandum of agreement (MOA) will be incorporated by reference into the terms of the competitive award; and (3) that any progress report(s) for the competitive award must follow the timetable of and be submitted by the CI directly to the funding program. Copies of these progress reports will be attached to the CI&amp;apos;s performance report as an appendix.    </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>The mission of the National Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program (BREP) is to develop technological solutions and investigate changes in fishing practices designed to minimize bycatch of fish (including sponges, deep&amp;#8211;sea corals, and shallow (tropical) corals) and protected species (including marine mammals, sturgeon, seabirds, and sea turtles) as well as minimize mortality and injury of bycaught species (including post-release injury and mortality). Projects should produce outcomes that can directly influence management needs of federally managed living marine resources. For FY2016, NMFS anticipates that approximately $2,500,000 could be made available for projects that address bycatch research as identified in the Program Priority Section (I.B.1 - I.B.4). </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of modification 000001 is to add the BLM_2016_LiDAR_FJW All Other Terms and Conditions Remain Unchanged *********************************************** Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Network is a national consortium of federal agencies, academic institutions, tribal, state, and local governments, nongovernmental conservation organizations (300 partners). The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) is a cooperative network, transcending political and institutional boundaries, which creates innovative opportunities for research, education, and technical assistance in support of the management and stewardship by partner agencies of the CESU&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s natural, cultural, and social resources. The CESU has a unique collaborative relationship with research scientists, end users of research products, the public, and educators who are trained to bridge the gap between researchers, science users and educators. The Yuma Field Office includes many acres along the lower Colorado and Gila Rivers. Extensive damming and conversion to upland has re-characterized the lands along the river that once were natural system, but are now dominated by invasive species. An increase in wildland fires in these areas also greatly affect the reduction in native vegetation and increase in invasive species. Rehabilitation efforts to improve sites offer migratory birds and other wildlife species native habitat for foraging and potential nesting. As part of the planning efforts to continue restoration within the YFO, interpretation and ground truthing of LiDar mapping and other remote sensing techniques will help, outline future threatened and endangered species habitat along the lower Gila River. b. Objectives: The principle purpose of this agreement is to improve wildlife habitat by offering properly functioning native riparian habitats along the lower Gila River. Wildlife habitat improvement projects increases partnerships, public involvement, and prime native riparian habitat within degraded and minimally functioning systems. The objective of this agreement is for the public to gain an appreciation for wildlife and their habitats within Arizona so that wildlife are available for future generations to enjoy. The efforts by Federal, state, and private partners along the Gila River will ensure the improvement of riparian systems within current degraded and minimally functioning systems. </Description>

        <Description>The FWS Ecological Services Program provides Federal financial assistance on a competitive basis to States, other Federal agencies, landowners, educators, non-profit organizations, researchers, and other partners to secure information about endangered, threatened or candidate species, to aid in the recovery of these species, to avert listing of species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, and to help conserve the ecosystems upon which these species depend. The FWS and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which is part of the Department of Commerces NOAA Fisheries office, share Endangered Species Act responsibilities for several species such as sea turtles. We have responsibility for sea turtles when they are on land, and NMFS has responsibility for sea turtles when they are in the water. Projects for NMFS-managed species are not included in this funding opportunity.This Recovery Implementation funding opportunity is intended for projects that will contribute to the recovery of FWS-managed endangered and threatened species in the United States, and is limited to projects carrying out actions described in a species approved recovery plan, in the implementation schedule of a species approved recovery plan, actions recommended in a completed 5-year status review of the species or in a spotlight species action plan, or projects documenting species response to climate change. For example: securing scientific information about endangered or threatened species, implementing restoration actions that will lead to delisting of a species, help prevent extinction of a species, or aid in the recovery of a species. Projects that address species response to climate change will receive additional consideration.</Description>

        <Description>The overarching goal of National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP) programs is to decrease the incidence and prevalence of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB among at-risk populations, including adolescents. Timely dissemination of the newest information derived from recent scientific studies on these diseases is imperative, but often it is challenging to reach this goal. Nongovernmental and governmental organizations often wish to hold conferences to provide up-to-date information regarding the aforementioned diseases, but are prohibited by budgetary constraints. Limited resources for disseminating the latest health information and fostering community collaboration and partnerships impedes efforts to effectively reach and impact at-risk populations and persons serving them, thereby increasing the burden of disease and concomitant sequelae in the community at large. In an effort to ease this burden, the purpose of this program is to provide partial support for specific non-Federal conferences focusing on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, TB, and/or adolescent and school health. By the end of the project period, conference attendees are expected to have increased access to the latest evidence-based information related to the focus areas, increased knowledge, and improved professional partnerships.</Description>

        <Description>The objective of this FOA is to invite eligible applicants to submit proposals that, with the financial assistance, will facilitate the development of fish habitat improvement projects in the Grande Ronde Sub-basin. Eligible applicants will assist Reclamation by developing potential habitat improvement, flow and access projects in the Grande Ronde Sub-basin, developing fish habitat projects with local constituents, defining the projects for further consideration by Reclamation and other interested parties, compiling available data and previous work, and coordinating with landowner(s) to determine their willingness to participate. The Grande Ronde Sub-basin is defined as the main stem Grande Ronde River and major tributaries upstream of Elgin, Oregon. Currently in the Grande Ronde Sub-basin, there are many fisheries habitat improvement projects that have been constructed or are in the process of being implemented, in addition to a comprehensive strategy used to identify and prioritize those actions through the Atlas process that are most likely to benefit the target species, (steelhead and spring/summer Chinook salmon), at a population scale. </Description>

Ongoing Federal investment in Contra Loma Regional Park will help the East Bay Park District maintain the popular recreational facility and increase the public recreational use of the site. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The East Bay Regional Park District will be responsible for the implementation of the project. Responsibilities include: 1.) Administration and financial management for the project 2.) Construction management, project completion and acceptance. 3.) EBRPD will be responsible for maintenance and operation of the facilities once completed. 4.) Submit final report. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. It is anticipated that Reclamation&amp;#8217;s involvement will consist of standard federal stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipient, etc. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award.

        <Description>The Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces its interest in receiving applications in Computational Materials Sciences proposing integrated, multidisciplinary teams that will perform research to develop validated community codes and data bases for predictive design of functional materials, excluding structural materials. Computational Materials Sciences Teams could also involve new approaches to enhance the use of large data sets derived from advanced characterization of materials, materials synthesis, processing, and properties assessments and the parallel data that are generated by large scale computational efforts that model materials phenomena. Computational Materials Sciences will support the Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness (MGI) that was announced by the President in June 2011. The goal of the MGI is to reduce the time from discovery to deployment of new materials by a factor of two and is tied to advancement of American manufacturing capability. This funding opportunity continues the BES commitment to the MGI and the development of open source codes that can take full advantage of today&amp;#8217;s petascale and future exascale leadership computing facilities.</Description>

        <Description>The principal objective of the NMFS Community-based Restoration Program Coastal and Marine Habitat Restoration solicitation is to support fish habitat restoration projects that use an ecosystem-based approach to foster species recovery and increase fish populations, contributing to ecosystem and community resilience. Proposals submitted under this solicitation will be primarily evaluated based on their ability to demonstrate how the proposed habitat restoration actions will help recover threatened and endangered species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (hereafter, Listed Species), including species identified by NMFS as &amp;#8220;Species in the Spotlight&amp;#8221; (http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/stories/2015/05/05_14_15species_in_the_spotlight.html) and sustain or help rebuild fish stocks managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (hereafter, Managed Species). Successful proposals will 1) identify a habitat-based issue/concern limiting the recovery or sustainability of one or more species targeted by the proposed restoration action; 2) describe in detail the actions and on-the-ground habitat restoration project(s) to be undertaken to resolve the issue/concern and; 3) describe the project(s)&amp;#8217; outcome goal and measurable impact on the project&amp;#8217;s target species and their ecosystem. Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will be funded through cooperative agreements. One year or multi-year awards up to three funding years will be considered, and additional releases of funds may be used to fund selected proposals through FY18 without further competition. NOAA anticipates typical federal funding awards will range from $300,000 to $2 million over one to three years. NOAA will not accept proposals with a federal funding request of less than $100,000 or more than $5 million over three years. NOAA anticipates up to $9 million will be available under this FFO in FY16. Funds will be administered by the Community-based Restoration Program within the NOAA Restoration Center. Awards are dependent upon the amount of funds Congress makes available to NOAA for this purpose in the FY16-FY18 budgets. NOAA&amp;#8217;s Community-based Restoration Program may also solicit for additional coastal habitat restoration projects through a Federal Funding Opportunity issued in FY17.</Description>

        <Description>NIJ is seeking investigator-initiated proposals to conduct research that examines criminal justice tools, protocols, and policies concerning drug trafficking, markets and use, and the effects of drug legalization and decriminalization on law enforcement, applicable to State, tribal and local jurisdictions. Proposals must address one of two criminal justice activities: drug intelligence and community surveillance, or criminal investigation and prosecution. In addition, NIJ has identified three drug research priorities: Marijuana and cannabis products; Heroin and other opioids (including diverted prescription drugs); and Novel psychoactive substances (also known as synthetic drugs).</Description>

        <Description>The State Department Bureau of Near East Affairs Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC) seeks single-country or regional project proposals for its Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP) program in the North Africa/Maghreb region; proposals focusing on Tunisia are particularly encouraged. Proposals designed to support Libya cannot be considered at this time. The TSCTP is the U.S. Government&amp;apos;s primary vehicle to support the long-term capacities of countries in West and North Africa to address the threat from violent extremist groups, including al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Da&amp;#8217;esh). TSCTP aims to take a comprehensive approach to counterterrorism by undertaking development, civil society and community-related activities to reduce radicalization and recruitment into violent extremism and as related to foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs). This solicitation is focused on TSCTP&amp;#8217;s countering violent extremism efforts. NEA/AC will consider proposals that promote the below countering violent extremism (CVE) objectives in the Maghreb: 1. Building community resilience and providing positive alternatives to communities, particularly youth, vulnerable to radicalization and recruitment by violent extremists to become FTFs and/or local fighters; 2. Strengthening partner government and civil society will and capacity to counter violent extremism including the radicalization and recruitment of FTF at local, sub-regional, and regional levels; 3. Countering violent extremist messaging and narratives, especially messaging targeting FTFs. </Description>

        <Description>These NEH grants support national or regional (multistate) training programs for scholars and advanced graduate students to broaden and extend their knowledge of digital humanities. Through these programs, NEH seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars using digital technology in their research and to broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology tools and methodologies relevant to the humanities. The projects may be a single opportunity or offered multiple times to different audiences. Institutes may be as short as a few days and held at multiple locations or as long as six weeks at a single site. For example, training opportunities could be offered before or after regularly occurring scholarly meetings, during the summer months, or during appropriate times of the academic year. The duration of a program should allow for full and thorough treatment of the topic. Today, complex data&amp;#8212;its form, manipulation, and interpretation&amp;#8212;are as important to humanities study as more traditional research materials. Datasets, for example, may represent digitized historical records, high-quality image data, or even multimedia collections, all of which are increasing in number due to the availability and affordability of mass data storage devices and international initiatives to create digital content. Moreover, extensive networking capabilities, sophisticated analytical tools, and new collaboration platforms are simultaneously providing and improving interactive access to and analysis of these data as well as a multitude of other resources. The Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities program seeks to enable humanities scholars in the United States to incorporate advances like these into their scholarship and teaching. </Description>

        <Description>The Climate Model Development and Validation (CMDV) Activity in the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD), Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is a new effort to improve climate model architecture, software, and computational design to prepare for exascale computing, to develop scale-aware physics for climate systems, and to enhance methods for model validation. This solicitation focuses mainly on the development and validation of scale-aware physics parameterizations for the atmosphere, with the goal of including these in either the current or next generation version of DOE&amp;#8217;s Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME). A recent workshop report (http://www.arm.gov/publications/programdocs/acme-arm-asr-draft-report.pdf) describes a new strategy to better align DOE capabilities across scales and disciplines in order to much more rapidly advance ACME development. In line with this strategy, this FOA solicits university and other non-DOE-Laboratory investigators to participate as collaborators in team projects led by DOE National Laboratories that will work in an end-to-end manner between measurements and modeling, and across scales from local and/or regional to global, in order to improve the fidelity of global climate model simulations, with a view to enhanced predictability and address critical climate science challenges. The model representation of clouds and aerosols, and their changes in response to energy and climate drivers, remain the most uncertain elements in model predictions of the climate system. Therefore, improved predictability requires greater understanding and representation of the behaviors of clouds and chemistry within global climate models. </Description>

        <Description>The Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD) of the U.S. Department of Energy&amp;#8217;s Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) supports a broad range of climate and earth system observational, analysis, and modeling research. Two of the activities within the modeling component of the Division, i.e., the Regional and Global Climate Modeling (RGCM) Activity and the Integrated Assessment Research (IAR) Activity, are collaborating in issuing this Funding Opportunity Announcement. As part of CESD, RGCM seeks to enhance the predictive understanding and modeling of climate variability and change by advancing capabilities to design, evaluate, diagnose, and analyze global and regional earth system model simulations informed by observations. The use of model simulations in combination with observations enables a deeper understanding of climate variability and change. RGCM focuses on analysis of regions that exhibit a significant response to larger scale climate change; evaluating robust methods to obtain higher spatial resolution; and diagnosing and analyzing state-of-the-science for coupled climate and Earth system models to understand climate variability and change at regional and global scales. These analyses often take the form of sensitivity studies that focus on various aspects of the climate system, including detection and attribution, developing enhanced modeling and analytics capabilities for decadal predictability, incorporating uncertainty characterization, and conducting analyses of feedbacks within the climate system. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Delta States Rural Development Network Grant Program (Delta Program). The purpose of the Delta Program is to fund organizations located in the eight Delta States that promote, through planning and implementation, the development of integrated health care networks that have combined the functions of the eligible entities participating in the networks in or to: achieve efficiencies; expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of essential health care services; and strengthen the rural health care system as a whole. The Delta Program provides resources to help rural communities develop partnerships to jointly address health problems that could not be solved by single entities working alone. A goal of the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy is to fund programs that have demonstrated a level of evidence through improved health outcomes. For FY 16, the program will require applicants to focus efforts around diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and acute ischemic stroke. The program will also place an emphasis on population health. Population health is defined as the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group. The groups may be geographic populations or other groups such as employees, ethnic groups, adolescents, school aged children, or any other defined group. The health outcomes of these groups may help in informing policy decisions on a national and local level. In addition, it is anticipated that recipients will coordinate the services and activities related to chronic disease management. These efforts may include the appropriate utilization of healthcare resources such as efforts resulting in a reduction of unnecessary emergency department encounters, hospital admissions, or 30-day readmissions for target populations as a significant in the coordination of services. This goal should be accomplished through improved disease management and care coordination in one of the following focus areas: 1) diabetes; 2) cardiovascular disease; 3) obesity; or 4) acute ischemic stroke. An important component of integrated care is the ability of the primary care provider to properly screen patients for behavioral health conditions. Because individuals who live with a chronic disease are at risk for having depression etc., as comorbidity, applicants are also encouraged to incorporate mental health services for effective and efficient program implementation. All recipients are required to adopt an evidence-based or promising practice approach that has been proven to demonstrate improved outcomes and may be replicable in other communities. Evidence-based practices are those that are developed from scientific evidence and/or have been found to be effective based on the results of rigorous evaluations.[1] &amp;#8220;A &amp;#8216;promising model&amp;#8217; is defined as one with at least preliminary evidence of effectiveness in small-scale interventions or for which there is potential for generating data that will be useful for making decisions about taking the intervention to scale and generalizing the results to diverse populations and settings.&amp;#8221;[2] An example of a promising practice would be a small-scale pilot program that has generated positive outcome evaluation results that justify program expansion to new access points and/or to new service populations. Applicants are required to propose multi-County/multi-parish projects that address delivery of preventive or clinical health services for individuals with, or at risk of developing chronic health diseases which disproportionately affect rural Delta communities. Due to the high disparities in the region[3] applicants are required to propose a program based on one of the following focus areas: 1) diabetes; 2) cardiovascular disease; 3) obesity; or 4) acute ischemic stroke; or 5) mental including related behavioral health and target the program to the services. Rural counties or parishes with the highest unmet needs and more hard to reach communities that are underserved must be specifically targeted in need the application. Initiatives can be in programs focused on prevention, self-management, care coordination, clinical care, or population health, but must be outcomes oriented. For example, the programs should include activities focused on producing changes in one or more of the following areas:Knowledge (e.g. understanding of effective self-management strategies, understanding of key disease risk factors or prevention strategies) Attitudes (e.g. increased self-efficacy in prevention or self-management strategies) Behaviors (e.g. increase in level of physical activity, increase intake of fruits and vegetables) Clinical biometrics (e.g. BMI, weight, A1C, blood pressure) Policies and procedures (e.g. improved health care services delivery model, changes to school physical activity and/or cafeteria policies) Systems (e.g. improved coordination among health and social services agencies) Appropriate utilization of healthcare resources Many of the largest drivers of health care costs fall outside the clinical care environment. In addition to the required key focus area(s), grantees may devote a percentage of grant funds toward another issue which may be of need in the service area. This addition may help develop and strengthen the health care networks through the coordination of services and the improvement in the quality of health care services. For example, applicants could work with the target population to connect those in need with resources related to issues that align with the broader determinants of health. Other issue areas may include areas such as pharmacy assistance, electronic health record management (funds should not go toward implementation, but rather towards enhancing the system in place), oral health, cancer screening, women&amp;#8217;s health, or child poverty, etc. Applicants should demonstrate the need of this additional topic area, as well as how it will improve the project and the population being served. On May 20th, the White House released a report entitled: Opportunity for All: Fighting Rural Child Poverty (May 2015 Report) https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/rural_child_poverty_report_final_non-embargoed.pdf . The report documents the 1.5 million children who continue to live in poverty in rural America. In support of the subsequent initiative to combat rural childhood poverty, applicants are encouraged to focus an aspect of their project in this area. Sustainability of program activities beyond the funding period is a goal of the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy. Under health services delivery programs, HRSA funding may support recipients&amp;#8217; efforts to develop necessary capabilities and the ability to obtain funding from non-Federal sources. It is anticipated that applicants will provide a sustainability plan with the application.

        <Description>The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces a second year of a program on collaborative research and education in the area of scalable nanomanufacturing, including the long-term societal implications of the large-scale implementation of nanomanufacturing innovations. This program is in response to and is a component of the National Nanotechnology Initiative Signature Initiative: Sustainable Nanomanufacturing - Creating the Industries of the Future (http://www.nano.gov/node/611). Although many nanofabrication techniques have demonstrated the ability to produce relatively small quantities of nanomaterials and devices, the emphasis of this program is research that supports the identification and demonstration of nanomanufacturing processes with high potential to scale to economically and industrially relevant production levels. The mode of support is Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT). Proposals submitted to this program must address at least one, and preferably more than one, of the following interconnected themes:Novel processes and techniques for continuous and scalable nanomanufacturing;Directed (e.g. physical/chemical/biological) self-assembly processes leading to heterogeneous nanostructures with the potential for high-rate production; Fundamental scientific research in well-defined areas that are compellingly justified as critical roadblocks to scale-up;Principles and design methods to produce machines and processes to manufacture nanoscale structures, devices and systems; and/orLong-term societal and educational implications of the large-scale production and use of nanomaterials, devices and systems, including the life-cycle analysis of such nanomaterials, devices and systems.Other research and education projects in nanoscale science and engineering will continue to be supported in the relevant programs and divisions.</Description>

        <Description>The Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Program includes 53 project grants in all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam. SMP projects have made great progress in recruiting and training volunteers on Medicare errors, fraud and abuse. These volunteers empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse through outreach, counseling, and education. SMP projects actively work to disseminate SMP fraud prevention and identification information through the media, outreach campaigns, community events and also working with beneficiaries who present with complex cases such as compromised Medicare numbers.

        <Description>Bureau of Reclamation is a water management agency with more than 600 dams in the 17 western states. Reclamation is best known for construction of dams, power plants, and canals including Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, Grand Coulee on the upper Columbia River and Folsom Dam on the American River. Reclamation is the largest wholesaler of water in the country and second largest producer of hydroelectric power in the western United States. The purpose of this project is to develop and test a new vertical full duplex Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag antenna system for use in canals and rivers. The system will be able to detect out-migrating salmonid smolts that may be moving in the upper half or third of the water column with minimal/no impact to threatened and endangered species or human activities (such as recreation). Data regarding PIT tag information collection efficiency that spans the full water column to detect passing tagged fish will be disseminated publicly and allow fishery managers to better estimate fish populations and enhance their ability to effectively manage fish populations </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications that propose to conduct time-sensitive mechanistic ancillary studies related to the NIAMS mission in conjunction with privately or publicly funde, ongoing interventional clinical trials. The ongoing parent project has to be an interventional clinical trial that can provide a cohort of well-characterized patients, infrastructure, data, and biological samples. Applications submitted in response to this FOA will undergo an accelerated review and award process. Each application must include a clear description of the ancillary studys mechanistic rationale and premise, and a timeline to demonstrate that the parent project has adequate time left to accommodate the proposed ancillary study. In addition, applicants must justify the time-sensitive nature of the ancillary study and the need for an expedited review and award process. Applicants must also document permission from the parent project to use the patient cohorts, data, and biological materials. The objective of this FOA is to provide a flexible mechanism to leverage established resources and maximize the return on existing investments in parent projects. Successful ancillary studies will enhance the scientific content and value of the parent projects, improve the research communitys understanding of a disease or organ system in the NIAMS portfolio, and thus may identify novel targets for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of modification 000003 is to: 1) Add &amp;quot;Each application should focus on only one Topic.&amp;quot; to Section I.A. All other parts of the Funding Opportunity Announcement remain unchanged. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) aims to reduce the soft costs of solar deployment through two approaches, referred to as Topic 1 and Topic 2 in the FOA. The first topic, &amp;#8220;Topic 1&amp;#8221; is targeted at increasing our foundational understanding of technology evolution, soft costs, and barriers to solar deployment in the US. By combining cutting edge research tools with the creation, analysis and functionalization of data and information, this second round of the Solar Energy Evolution and Diffusion Studies (SEEDS) program will examine how solar technologies, the electric grid system, and the institutions that create the solar business marketplace support or impede the evolution and diffusion of solar by partnering researchers with data and energy practitioners. &amp;#8220;Topic 2&amp;#8221; will directly tackle soft costs and market barrier challenges at the state and regional level by maximizing the benefits of solar electricity through energy and economic strategic planning. This program targets partnerships between states and utilities/electricity sector entities that look to increase solar deployment in their region. This will be achieved through analytical support to develop and implement strategies to: determine or expand renewable energy and other goals, such as: maximizing emissions reductions; hedging against fuel price volatility; creating jobs; expanding access to electricity; and/or increasing grid resiliency, among others. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for the EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website https://eere- exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website.</Description>

More specifically, BES solicits applications in two topical areas: 1) novel and innovative methods for characterization, transformation, and separation of nuclear waste; and 2) new materials for long-term storage of nuclear waste, including waste forms. Research related to contaminant fate and transport in subsurface geological environments is outside the scope of this FOA. The goal of this FOA is to initiate new multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary EFRCs aimed at accelerating scientific breakthroughs in areas that will be likely to have a dramatic impact on the cost and efficacy of future technologies for nuclear waste cleanup and storage.</Description>

        <Description> In July 2015, through FOA CDC-RFA-PS15-1502, &amp;#8220;Comprehensive High-Impact HIV Prevention Projects for Community-Based Organizations,&amp;#8221; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded funds to 90 CBOs to implement comprehensive HIV prevention programs to HIV-positive persons and high-risk HIV negative persons to reduce morbidity, mortality, and related health disparities. CDC will make competitive awards to 15-18 of the CBOs funded under PS15-1502 to conduct enhanced outcome monitoring of PS15-1502 clients over time under two funding categories: Category 1- HIV-positive clients and Category 2- high-risk HIV-negative clients. These outcome monitoring projects will increase understanding of HIV prevention and support services received by PS15-1502 clients, the outcomes of these services, and successes and challenges related to service provision and utilization and as a result improve performance of PS15-1502 CBOs. Ultimately, this increased understanding will contribute to efforts to reduce HIV infections, increase access to care, and improve health outcomes for PS15-1502 clients. In addition, the grantees will build future capacity to monitor the HIV prevention services they provide to their clients and use the data to inform program planning and implementation. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of the Models of Collaboration for State Chronic Disease and Oral Health Programs FOA is to facilitate programmatic collaboration between oral health and chronic disease programs within state health departments. The intent of the FOA is to build relationships within state health department chronic disease and oral health programs in order to identify programmatic synergies and encourage the efficient use of public health resources. Eligible state oral health programs may apply for a grant under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to develop and implement a two-year pilot project that could make measurable impact on state chronic disease performance measures. Applicants should propose a set of strategies that focuses on the prevention of one selected chronic disease or risk behavior of mutual importance to both state public health programs, e.g., oral health and obesity prevention, diabetes, heart disease and stroke prevention, or tobacco control.Outcomes: Awardees of the FOA will: 1) Convene a project advisory panel of key chronic disease and oral health personnel; 2) Specify project outcomes, identify data sources for baseline and follow-up measurement and describe an approach for project data collection; 3) Develop and implement a project work plan; 4) Evaluate the project; and 5) Report project outcomes and success stories to state and national chronic disease and oral health partners. Long term goals of this project include: &amp;#8226; Demonstrated sustainable integration of oral health and other chronic disease programmatic efforts.&amp;#8226; Engagement of oral health personnel in chronic disease planning efforts. &amp;#8226; Increased awareness among public health officials about the importance of oral health in chronic disease prevention.&amp;#8226; Increased communication and shared information between chronic disease and oral health programs.&amp;#8226; An increased number of dental professionals who screen and refer patients for chronic disease management. Program Strategies and Activities: All awardees will be required to: &amp;#8226; Convene an advisory panel of key chronic disease and oral health personnel to provide oversight throughout the entire two year project period. Participation in this advisory panel should demonstrate the intent by the leadership of both the chronic disease and oral health programs to jointly commit time and resources to the project. The advisory panel will be responsible for developing the vision, mission, goals and objectives of the integrated project, as well as monitoring progress toward milestones throughout the project period. &amp;#8226; Have a project work plan that clearly delineates the roles and responsibilities of staff, the distribution of project resources, and assigns responsibilities for collecting data needed for evaluating the project and monitoring changes in chronic disease performance measures. &amp;#8226; Develop strategies that will impact one tobacco use, heart disease/stroke, obesity, or diabetes prevention state/national chronic disease performance indicator. Examples of projects that could be funded are provided below, but other innovative ideas are also welcome.&amp;#8226; The inclusion of dental providers/dental organizations/dental clinics in state tobacco cessation efforts. This could include educating dental providers on how to screen, counsel and refer to other resources such as a state tobacco &amp;#8220;quitline.&amp;#8221;&amp;#8226; Increase the number of dental providers who screen, counsel, and refer patients for hypertension and diabetes.&amp;#8226; Collaboration on activities to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and encourage the drinking of fluoridated tap water.&amp;#8226; Development of messaging that incorporates oral health into existing chronic disease public education campaigns.&amp;#8226; Incorporation of oral health into chronic disease management systems, for example encouraging dental visits in diabetic patients. &amp;#8226; Collaboration with state Medicaid programs to encourage Medicaid dental and primary care providers to do bidirectional disease screening, education and referral. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this modification is to update page 8, under Section I.c, &amp;#8220;Applications specifically not of interest,&amp;#8221; the following bullet was deleted: &amp;#8220;Applications that propose to develop technology that relies on purely heterotrophic algae cultivation.&amp;#8221; The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) announces a notice of availability of funds for financial assistance addressing the development of flexible biomass to hydrocarbon biofuels conversion pathways that can be modified to produce advanced fuels and/or products based on external factors, such as market demand. These pathways could consist of a route to a platform chemical that could be converted to products or fuels or a route that coproduces chemicals and fuels. BETO has a goal of meeting the 2022 cost target of $3/gallon gasoline equivalent (gge) for the production of renewable hydrocarbon fuels from lignocellulosic biomass. One approach BETO has taken previously to achieve this goal is to focus on conversion pathways that produce biofuels, with little or no emphasis on coproducing bioproducts. As BETO increasingly focuses on hydrocarbon fuels, it is examining strategies that capitalize on revenue from bioproducts as part of cost-competitive biofuel production. A variety of technology pathways can be used to produce renewable hydrocarbon biofuels, but many of them require the production of value-added chemicals and products in the near-term to achieve an attractive rate of return on cost-competitive fuels. Value-added chemicals and products can also incentivize the de-risking of &amp;#8220;front end&amp;#8221; processes (from feedstock logistics through to deconstruction) which are also necessary for fuel production. It is important to note that while bioproducts are seen as a valuable strategy for enabling fuels, the BETO is not interested in pursuing R&amp;amp;D solely on bioproducts without a fuels component. The intent of this FOA, therefore, is to identify R&amp;amp;D projects that develop biomass to hydrocarbon biofuels conversion pathways that can produce variable amounts of fuels and products based on external factors, such as market demand. These pathways could consist of a route to a platform chemical that could be converted to products or fuels or a route that coproduces chemicals and fuels. Successful applications will include a clear justification for producing the target molecule(s) from biomass, a compelling narrative explaining how the target product(s) will enable biofuels, and supporting techno-economic analysis and life cycle analysis. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. To apply to this FOA, Applicants must register with and submit application materials through EERE Exchange at https://eere-Exchange.energy.gov, EERE&amp;#8217;s online application portal. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website.</Description>

        <Description>Approximately 2.2 million people were incarcerated in federal, state, and local prisons and jails in 2014, a rate of 1 out of every 110 adults. Many prison populations remain near all-time high levels and face crowding or resource challenges, and state spending on corrections has remained high. Over the last 25 years, state corrections expenditures have increased exponentially from $12 billion in 1988 to more than $55 billion estimated for 2014, a significant increase even accounting for inflation. Justice reinvestment emerged as a way to address these issues through a targeted, data-driven policymaking process. BJA, in a public/private partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts, launched the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI) in 2010 as a multistaged process in which a jurisdiction reduces unnecessary incarceration, increases the cost-effectiveness of its criminal justice system and reinvests savings into high-performing public safety strategies. Under the JRI model, a governmental working group with bipartisan and interbranch representation analyzes the correctional population and its cost drivers, develops cost-effective policy options, and implements reforms to manage correctional populations while enhancing public safety. JRI jurisdictions reinvest these cost savings into high-performing initiatives that make communities safer. In addition to reducing prison populations, justice reinvestment encourages states to embrace a culture of greater collaboration, data-driven decisionmaking, and increased use of evidence-based practices. The JRI State Assessment Report, funded by BJA and authored by the Urban Institute, showed that the 17 assessed JRI states are making steady progress toward achieving the goals of JRI: reducing correctional spending and reinvesting in recidivism-reduction strategies. Of the 17 states, 8 had JRI policies in effect for at least one year. All eight have experienced meaningful reductions in their prison populations, and five of them have met or exceeded their population reduction goals. While the full impact of justice reinvestment reforms is not yet known, the policies enacted in JRI states hold great promise to reduce prison populations, achieve substantial cost savings, and avert future growth. The Urban Institute continues to track outcomes in these 17 states and in the additional 7 states that have undertaken justice reinvestment efforts under JRI since the JRI State Assessment Report. The report revealed that many JRI states have issues in common and have focused on similar priorities. Each states criminal justice system is unique, requiring detailed analysis to determine factors behind prison growth and corrections spending. However, many of the states found similar factors driving populations and costs for example, parole and probation revocation rates; sentencing policies and practices that favored incarceration of low-risk offenders over alternatives and that resulted in long lengths of stay; insufficient or inefficient community supervision, services, and support; and parole system processing delays and denials. The policy responses to these issues also overlapped, sharing themes of evidence-based practices and data-driven decisionmaking, including risk and needs assessments; accountability measures such as performance and outcome measure reporting; earned credits to encourage compliance with conditions of community supervision; sentencing changes; swift, certain and fair responses to technical probation and parole violations, mandatory post-incarceration supervision requirements; problem-solving courts; streamlined parole processes and expanded parole eligibility; and re-entry programs to reduce recidivism. </Description>

        <Description>NIJ, in collaboration with other Federal agencies, is interested in funding a cooperative agreement to conduct a rigorous, multi-year demonstration project to prevent abuse, neglect, and/or financial exploitation among community-residing elderly individuals identified to be at risk. Ultimately, the demonstration project will include development and implementation of the intervention, and, pending funding, a rigorous scientific evaluation of its effectiveness. Successful proposals will develop an intervention that: 1) specifies a theory of change; 2) builds upon evidence-based violence prevention interventions in related areas; 3) identifies a rationale and strategy for selecting participants; and 4) is designed to be replicated, scaled up, and independently evaluated if the demonstration project indicates effectiveness in preventing elder abuse. Applicants may develop and test interventions to prevent either a single form or multiple forms of elder mistreatment. Initial funding under this solicitation will cover an 18-month planning phase. Upon successful completion of the planning phase, additional funding may become available to support the implementation of an 18-month pilot study.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Telehealth Network Grant Program (TNGP). The primary objective of the TNGP as noted in Section 330I(d)(1) is to demonstrate how telehealth programs and networks can improve access to quality health care services in rural, frontier, and underserved communities. TNGP networks are used to: (a) expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of health care services; (b) improve and expand the training of health care providers; and/or (c) expand and improve the quality of health information available to health care providers, and patients and their families, for decision-making. Networks proposed for this award must consist of at least two of the entities listed in Section III.1.b below. Applications are especially encouraged from networks that will demonstrate how telehealth can expand access to, coordinate and improve the quality of health care services through SBHCs, especially those which may also serve the broader community beyond normal school hours. SBHCs can facilitate expanding access to key health services in schools in rural high poverty areas (https://www.congress.gov/congressional-report/114th-congress/senate-report/74/1 ). As defined by the Children&amp;#8217;s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (Section 2110(c) (42 U.S.C. 1397jj), a &amp;#8216;school-based health center&amp;#8217; means a health clinic that&amp;#8212; &amp;#8216;&amp;#8216;(i) is located in or near a school facility of a school district or board or of an Indian tribe or tribal organization; (ii) is organized through school, community, and health provider relationships; (iii) is administered by a sponsoring facility; (iv) provides through health professionals primary health services to children in accordance with State and local law, including laws relating to licensure and certification; and (v) satisfies such other requirements as a State may establish for the operation of such a clinic. The term &amp;#8216;sponsoring facility&amp;#8217; includes any of the following: (i) a hospital, (ii) a public health department, (iii) a community health center, (iv) a nonprofit health care agency, (v) a local educational agency or (vi) a program administered by the Indian Health Service or the Bureau of Indian Affairs or operated by an Indian tribe or a tribal organization.&amp;#8217;&amp;#8217; Applicants must identify the clinical focus areas for their project and SBHCs are strongly encouraged to provide telehealth services for rural children that focus on: asthma, obesity reduction and prevention, behavioral health, diabetes, and oral health. These conditions were selected from a review of the literature on rural child health status, supported by the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, which identified these as health disparity indicators where telehealth can be an effective way to provide service.[1] According to the School-Based Health Alliance, these are conditions that health providers can positively impact within a school-based setting. (http://www.sbh4all.org/resources/core-competencies/ ) In each proposed clinical area, applicants should present data to demonstrate need and set a baseline for current health status for the target population to be served. Applicants should also describe how the use of telehealth technology may improve outcomes for the target population and set targets for that population in each identified clinical area. For example, to demonstrate expanding access to care, applicants would be expected to show how they improved access to health care services that would not reasonably have been available without the use of telehealth technologies. Upon award, applicants will be required to report data including encounters, services delivered, and health outcomes. In the course of establishing those data measures, those baseline measures and targets identified by applicants may be amended at the discretion of HRSA. To further elaborate on the program&amp;#8217;s statutory requirements, we seek innovative applications that meet new and emerging needs in a changing health care delivery system with a focus on value and improved health care outcomes. Awardees will take part in a broad program evaluation with common measures to assess across all grantees how the use of this technology affected health care outcomes. Upon award, recipients will be required to report on specific performance measures, such as: (a) types of telehealth network partner settings; (b) the number of encounters by specialty/service, by patient care setting (network facility), and by type of telemedicine encounter; (c) third party and grant reimbursement received for the encounters; (d) new services available in rural areas due to the grant; (e) patient and practitioner travel miles saved by each network facility; (f) number of Practitioner Referrals at each network facility. Additional information on performance measure reporting will be made available to recipients after September 1, 2016. [1] Natzke, B., Horner, L. (September 23, 2015).

        <Description>There are a multiple states, counties, cities, and tribes that are interested in implementing Swift, Certain, and Fair&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#157;(SCF) models of supervision with offenders in the community. This interest has grown out of the potential promise that these SCF models have shown in effectively reducing recidivism and preventing crime. In particular, Hawaii&amp;apos;s Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE) program has been shown to have promise, and as a result there is significant interest and activity in implementing models of supervision, and other versions of the HOPE model which rely on swift and certain sanctions. SCF approaches are intended to: (a) improve supervision strategies that reduce recidivism; (b) promote and increase collaboration among agencies and officials who work in community corrections and related fields; (c) enhance the offenders&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#131;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#162;&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#153; perception that the supervision decisions are fair, consistently applied and consequences are transparent; and (d) improve the outcomes of individuals participating in these initiatives. Through this FY 2015 grant announcement, BJA will select multiple applicants to implement or enhance a HOPE model using SCF. Applicants selected under this announcement will work with BJA and its training and technical assistance (TTA) partner to implement the model with fidelity. </Description>

        <Description>Depending on the availability of funds, NOAA Sea Grant expects to have up to $3,000,000 available for a national competition to fund new FY 2016 aquaculture research projects. This is part of the overall plan to support the development of environmentally and economically sustainable ocean, coastal, or Great Lakes aquaculture. Topical priorities for this FY 2016 competition are, briefly: a) Research to inform pending, regulatory decisions regarding aquaculture on the local, state, or federal level leading to an information product--such as a tool, technology, template, or model--needed to make final decisions on a specific question; b) Research that supports the introduction, and/or increase in production of new and emerging species of aquaculture interest; c) Research that supports continued seafood safety and product quality; and d) Social and/or economic research targeted to understand aquaculture issues in a larger context. Applicants must describe how their proposed work will rapidly and significantly advance U.S. aquaculture development in the short term (1-2 years after project completion).This Federal Funding Opportunity includes information on application and criteria for aquaculture research proposals requesting a maximum of $300,000 in total federal funding for up to a two-year period. Matching funds are required. Awards are anticipated to start no later than September 1, 2016. Additional proposals from this competition may be selected for funding in the next fiscal year, subject to the availability of FY17 funds.</Description>

        <Description>Understanding and optimizing the use of constructed wetlands as an environmental buffer for the purposes of potable reuse was identified in the 2011 Texas Water Reuse Research Agenda as among the most pressing research needs for water reuse in Texas. A 2012 National Academy of Sciences report made a similar finding on a national scale. Concerns exist over the potential for endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) to adversely affect human health or ecosystems when treated wastewater is discharged into an environmental buffer and reused to help augment drinking water supplies. Recipient will utilize The Brazos Research Wetland to investigate whether an innovative constructed wetland design can attenuate or remove EDCs that may exist in treated wastewater effluent that will be recycled through an environmental buffer and used to augment drinking water supplies. The design of this wetland is innovative because of the unique combination and sequence of engineered surface and subsurface treatment zones, as well as passive aeration units that incorporate flowing cascades and turbulent stream channels. If successful, the Brazos Research Wetland could provide important design criteria for full-scale constructed wetlands and yield important data on how to build and integrate an engineered wetland into a utility&amp;#8217;s water and wastewater treatment system. This could signify an important advancement in making potable water reuse a more viable strategy to increase our nation&amp;apos;s usable water supplies, while also reducing the costly energy requirement and associated carbon footprint of using advanced water treatment technologies such as reverse osmosis. </Description>

        <Description>The State Wildlife Grants Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (States) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include both planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the State&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Plan. Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species of greatest conservation need and take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project. Additional information about the State Wildlife Grants Program is on the web at -http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SWG/SWG.htm.

        <Description>This FOA invites applications for continuation the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP) that provides for the distribution of human cadaveric islets for biomedical research. It solicits a single coordinating center that will subcontract with qualified islet isolation facilities to prepare and distribute human islets. The Coordinating Center will manage an application process to establish eligibility to receive islets, maintain a roster of investigators approved to receive islets, implement a notification system informing investigators of human islet availability, implement a partial cost recovery system through fees collected from islet recipients, and develop a system to monitor and improve the quality of islets distributed. Human islets are an essential resource for diabetes research, both to advance our understanding of human islet cell biology and to develop therapies for the treatment of diabetes. The coordinating center will provide an indispensible research service to the medical community by providing access to human islets and foster improved standardization and quality of this precious research resource.</Description>

Reclamation&amp;#8217;s climate change assessments in these basins typically employ CMIP5projections downscaled with Bias Corrected Statistical Downscaling and BiasCorrection/Constructed Analogs (BCSD-BCCA) methods, but these products do not always meetmanagement needs. This project, funded through Reclamation&amp;#8217;s Science and Technology GrantProgram, consists of a rigorous comparison of the BCSD-BCCA methods with alternativeapproaches to guide Reclamation staff directed to incorporate climate change impacts intohydrologic studies. These include rainfall output from dynamical downscaled Regional ClimateModels (RCM), a stochastic rainfall generator forced by either Global Climate Models (GCM) orRCM, and projections using historical records conditioned on either GCM or RCM.This comparison will be performed for two sites. The Lower Colorado Region&amp;#8217;s RiverOperations Group identified the Bill Williams River drainage to Alamo Lake, upstream of LakeHavasu, as an area in need of improved flood projections. The Upper Santa Cruz River nearNogales, Arizona on the Arizona-Mexico border is the site of an on-going Reclamation waterresources appraisal study. Our objectives are to: 1) evaluate the suitability of each precipitationprojection method for each study type; 2) develop a test to select the preferred method for agiven type of study; and 3) quantify the impact of each method on Reclamation&amp;#8217;s planningactivities.</Description>

        <Description>SUMMARY: The HOPE VI Main Street Program provides grants to small communities to assist in the renovation of an historic or traditional central business district or &amp;#8220;Main Street&amp;#8221; area by replacing unused, obsolete, commercial space in buildings with affordable housing units. The obsolete building space property may be publicly or privately owned. Note, however, that the local government whose jurisdiction includes the Main Street area is the only entity that is eligible to receive an award. Applications from other entities, e.g., the private property owner, are not eligible for award. The objectives of the program are to: Redevelop central business districts (Main Street areas); Preserve Historic or traditional Main Street area properties by replacing unused commercial space in buildings with affordable housing units; Enhance economic development efforts in Main Street areas; and Provide affordable housing in Main Street areas. Main Street grant funds can be used to build new affordable housing or reconfigure obsolete or surplus commercial space (or extremely substandard, vacant housing) into affordable housing units. The grant funds cannot be used on general infrastructure or commercial development. Main Street housing units must be affordable to the initial residents that occupy the Main Street housing project, as described in the Use Restrictions section of this NOFA. The funds in the NOFA must be used to assist Units of Local Government that have existing Main Street area rejuvenation projects and meet the population and public housing unit limits stated in the Eligibility section of this NOFA. </Description>

        <Description>Funding may be available through the USFWS Anadromous Fish Restoration Program to complete Phase I of the Lower Deer Creek Falls Fish Passage Project. Deer Creek is a tributary to the Upper Sacramento River near Vina, CA, in southeastern Tehama County. An initial passage assessment completed by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) within the last two years determined that the existing ladder structure on Deer Creek did not meet CDFG/National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) fish passage criteria. The USFWS requests submission of proposals for 1) a fish passage assessment; 2) development of a range of alternatives to implement any needed repairs and/or modifications; 3) completion of a final engineered design and an engineer&amp;#146;s cost estimate for repairs and/or modifications based upon selection of a preferred alternative by a Technical Advisory Committee; and 4) development of a Quality Control plan for the proposed data collection/analysis. A field visit is scheduled for March 30, 2012. If you are planning on submitting a proposal, it is strongly encouraged that you attend. </Description>

        <Description>In its annual appropriations to Amtrak (the Grantee) for capital and operating expenses, Congress has authorized the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to withhold up to one half of one percent of the funds appropriated to Amtrak for monitoring and oversight. In order to strengthen the Grantee&amp;apos;&amp;#194;&amp;#153;s reporting capabilities and support its efforts to upgrade its financial planning and related systems and procedures, FRA is returning to the Grantee $8.4 million in Fiscal Year 2009 through 2014 monitoring and oversight funds the FRA previously withheld, but has yet to spend. The improvements will upgrade the existing SAP/BPC v7.5 financial system from a data consolidation and reporting tool to an industry-standard financial planning and reporting solution under SAP/BPC v10.1. The upgraded system will enhance reporting capabilities to meet state and commuter agency partner reporting requirements under the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-432, October 16, 2008) (PRIIA) Sections 209 and 212 cost allocation and cost sharing methodologies, and provide external stakeholders with a secure portal to access user-specific data and standardized reports.</Description>

        <Description>The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.2 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through tribal and local jails every year . Ninety-five percent of all people incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The coordination of reentry of members of Native American tribes is even more complex given that they can return from federal, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state, local, and tribal facilities. The Second Chance Act helps to ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety.The Second Chance Act Programs are designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by reentry and recidivism reduction. &amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#162;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#156;Reentry&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#162;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#128;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#157; is not a specific program, but rather a process that starts when an individual is initially incarcerated and ends when he or she has been successfully reintegrated in the community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes screening and assessment in a pre-release setting, the delivery of evidence-based programming in a pre-release setting, and the delivery of a variety of evidence-based programming for every program participant in a post-release setting designed to ensure that the transition from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful. </Description>

        <Description>Over the past two decades, state and local jurisdictions have implemented various strategies and tools aimed at managing sex offenders in the community. The federal government has played a significant role in this area by enacting legislation requiring states, territories and certain tribes to establish sex offender registration and notification programs. A critical component of sex offender registration and notification is the dissemination of sex offender data to the public through the operation of a public website. In 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice recognized the need to provide the public and law enforcement with a single point of access to public sex offender websites. The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 renamed the National Sex Offender Public Registry to the National Sex Offender Public Website and codified that the Attorney General shall maintain the site. NSOPW meets this need by linking public state, territory and tribal sex offender registries to one national search site. The Adam Walsh Act further required that the Department of Justice develop software to allow jurisdictions to track and share information regarding sex offenders. The SORNA Exchange Portal meets this need by maintaining a secure information exchange portal for all SORNA jurisdictions.Goals, Objectives, and DeliverablesThe grantee will conduct the following at a minimum:&amp;#8226; Support all hosting, maintenance, and operation of NSOPW, including hosting a backup site at a separate location. The grantee must comply with all U.S. Department of Justice security requirements.&amp;#8226; Maintain and operate a secure communication system (known as the SORNA Exchange Portal) between SORNA jurisdiction registry managers for the purpose of information sharing. Uses include the ability to send e-mail, a discussion area, chat capabilities, and transfer of files.&amp;#8226; Ensure that NSOPW remains in full compliance with applicable provisions of SORNA and complies with any subsequent legislation that impacts its operation.&amp;#8226; Assist jurisdictions with the implementation of web services used to share data through NSOPW.&amp;#8226; Make changes to NSOPW within 24-hours of a request&amp;#8212;without additional costs&amp;#8212;as part of the maintenance portion of the project.&amp;#8226; Provide statistics to SMART on the use of NSOPW and the SORNA Exchange Portal on a monthly basis and have the capability to provide specific information within 24-hours&amp;#8217; notice.&amp;#8226; Provide auditing and monitoring tools to SORNA registration jurisdictions and to SMART, and participate in auditing and monitoring activities as requested by the SMART Office.&amp;#8226; Provide continuous monitoring of all connections to NSOPW and make contact with the connection site(s) to remedy any malfunctions within a 24-hour period.&amp;#8226; Answer questions sent to the &amp;#8220;Webmaster&amp;#8221; from the general public and from SORNA jurisdictions or as directed through the SMART office for NSOPW within 24 hours. The technical responses shall be based on the ability to recreate the situation as described in the correspondence. The procedural and policy responses shall be based on communication with the individual jurisdiction or agency involved in the query. On average, NSOPW receives three to five inquiries a day, ranging in complexity and length of response.&amp;#8226; Maintain and operate the Tribe and Territory Sex Offender Registry System (TTSORS). TTSORS is the registry system provided free of charge by the Department of Justice to assist tribes and territories with implementing SORNA registry system requirements. TTSORS management and update access is restricted to only tribe and territory agencies responsible for the management and registration of sex offenders. TTSORS serves two purposes, which is to function as an administrative registry system and as the public sex offender registry web site system for jurisdictions. Jurisdictions, who are TTSORS users, will have the ability with their registry system to provide community notifications; email address and telephone number search; and collect all offender information required by SORNA.&amp;#8226; Develop and implement enhancements for NSOPW, the SORNA Exchange Portal and TTSORS necessary to remain current with advanced technologies.&amp;#8226; Provide training and technical assistance to states, territories and tribes related to participation in NSOPW, the Exchange Portal and TTSORS.&amp;#8226; Participate in SMART national trainings and conferences, providing individual and group session support.&amp;#8226; Monitor, maintain, and update the NSOPW Facebook page to include relevant content on sexual assault prevention and related safety tips.&amp;#8226; In consultation with the SMART Office, maintain and update the Education and Prevention section of NSOPW as needed.&amp;#8226; Work with the SMART Office (as needed) to modify the project scope during the project period to address emerging needs that impact the operation of NSOPW, the Exchange Portal and TTSORS.&amp;#8226; Consult with the SMART Office for guidance and input on website content, appearance, and functionality, and technical assistance tools such as brochures and publications, as well as written materials such as fact sheets and training materials and provide logistical support.&amp;#8226; Demonstrate cultural competencies in working with Indian Country. &amp;#8226; Understand the rich diversity of tribal people and the importance of self-determination and sovereignty when working with tribal jurisdictions. The successful applicant must demonstrate an understanding for providing support and guidance to tribes for the purpose of information sharing.&amp;#8226; Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of information sharing between SORNA jurisdictions about relocating sex offenders and the need for continued improvement in this area through the continued development or refinement of tools such as the SORNA Exchange Portal. The applicant must have experience in facilitating an advisory working group dedicated to criminal justice data information sharing.Please note that successful applicants may not:&amp;#8226; Retain any data for any purpose beyond the end of the project period, except as instructed to facilitate transition to another provider;&amp;#8226; Provide any data collected as part of the operation of NSOPW, the Tribe and Territory Sex Offender Registry System (TTSORS), or the Exchange Portal to any other agency besides the submitting agency unless such communication is initiated by the submitting agency via SORNA exchange portal; &amp;#8226; Charge any agency for any use of NSOPW, TTSORS or the Exchange Portal&amp;#8226; Sell, or use any data collected as part of the operations of NSOPW, TTSORS, or the Exchange Portal for any commercial purpose or any unauthorized purpose</Description>

        <Description>One of BJA&amp;apos;s guiding principles is to promote a fair criminal justice system. For the past two decdes, the American justice system has been confronted with a steady stream of post-conviction exonerations, and the issue of wrongful conviction has emerged as a critical area for examination.BJA is committed to assisting the state and local law enforcement entities in adopting evidence-based practices and assessing the necessary technologies to reduce the likelihood of a wrongful conviction (to include wrongful arrests and prosecutions) occurring from the outset of each criminal investigation. BJA is also committed to ensuring that wrongful convictions are expeditiously detected and addressed when they occur.On support of the latter goal, BJA established the Wrongful Conviction Review Program, the funding for which is anticipated through the FY 2015 appropriation. The purpose of the Wrongful Conviction Review Program is to provide high-quality and efficient representation for defendants in post-conviction claims of innocense.</Description>

        <Description>The BMFRP Idea Development Award is intended to support innovative ideas and high-impact approaches based on scientifically sound evidence to move toward the BMFRP vision of understanding and curing BMF syndromes. This award mechanism is designed to support new ideas. Proposed research studies should have a high probability of revealing new avenues of investigation. Research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and a developed and well-articulated research approach. Personnel on the proposed team should have a strong background in BMF research. This funding opportunity is open to established and early career investigators. The FY16 BMFRP has included an opportunity for one or more scientifically meritorious applications from applicants fitting the outlined description of an early career investigator. All early career investigators will be assessed using different criteria for Personnel during the review process (Section III.B.1, Personnel). The definition of an early career investigator for the BMFRP is an investigator within 10 years of completing a terminal degree (doctorate or any medical degree), excluding time spent in medical residency, or during family medical leave. Time spent as a postdoctoral fellow is not excluded and must be within the 10-year span from the time of terminal degree. This should be clearly articulated by the applicant in the biographical sketch. Postdoctoral fellows are not eligible to apply as early career investigators. The following are significant features of this award mechanism: 1. Research Approach: The scientific rationale and experimental methodology should demonstrate critical understanding and in-depth analysis of BMF. Experimental strategies may be novel or may be based on strong rationale derived from previously published data, presented preliminary data, or literature review. The feasibility of the research design and methods should be well defined, and a clear plan should be articulated as to how the proposed goals of the project can be achieved. Additionally, resources should be identified and supported through documentation. Identification of potential problems and pitfalls is strongly encouraged, with alternate approaches addressed. A statistical analysis of the proposed research should be included, if applicable, as well as a power analysis to support the design and sample size. 2. Preliminary Data: Preliminary data, such as unpublished results from the laboratory of the Principal Investigator (PI) or collaborators named on this application and/or data from the published literature relevant to BMF and the proposed research project, may be included but are not required. If preliminary data are not included, the proposed research should be based on a strong rationale with sound logical support from published literature. 3. Innovation: Innovative research may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other creative qualities. This may include high-risk, potentially high-gain, approaches to BMF research, provided that the application demonstrates the potential for significant impact on the field of research, and/or patient care and/or quality of life. Research that is only an incremental advance is not considered innovative. 4. Impact: Proposed research projects should address a central critical issue or question in BMF research or clinical care. High-impact research will, if successful, significantly advance current methods and concepts for the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and/or treatment of BMF. 5. Personnel: Personnel are considered a crucial element of the BMFRP Idea Development Award. The application should demonstrate the investigator&amp;#8217;s expertise in BMF through the PI&amp;#8217;s background, research team, or through collaboration. Collaborations should be documented. a. An established investigator (EI) applying for the Idea Development Award should be at or above the level of Associate Professor (or equivalent). The established investigator should have BMF-related expertise and background as demonstrated by funding and publication records. The EI should plan research collaborations and dedicate a level of effort appropriate for the successful conduct of the proposed work. b. An early career investigator (ECI) applying for the Idea Development Award should be an independent investigator at the level of Assistant Professor, Instructor, or Assistant Research Professor (or equivalent) and less than 10 years from their terminal degree (excluding time spent in medical residency, or during family medical leave). This should be clearly articulated by the applicant in the biographical sketch. Postdoctoral fellows are not eligible to apply as ECIs. The early career investigator&amp;#8217;s training (postdoctoral or clinical) should demonstrate that the ECI will be able to accomplish the proposed work. Institutional commitment beyond financial backing such as, but not limited to, independent laboratory space, dedicated research time, and potential collaborations should be demonstrated. The level of effort dedicated to the proposed work by the ECI should be appropriate for the successful conduct of the research project. </Description>

        <Description>BJA&amp;apos;s Smart Prosecution Initiative is designed to promote effective data-driven, research-based approaches to prosecution and prosecutor-led justice systems innovations and reforms. TheSmart Prosecution model builds off of the lessons learned from BJA&amp;apos;s&amp;#195;&amp;#131;&amp;#194;&amp;#130;&amp;#195;&amp;#130;&amp;#194;&amp;#156;Smart Suite of crime fighting programs. Smart Prosecution will seek to pair an operational, results focused researcher with a prosecutor&amp;apos;s office to develop data-driven solutions which create effective, efficient, and just prosecution strategies which will ultimately improve public safety. It will provide other valuable resources to equip a prosecutor&amp;apos;s office to access data across various criminal justice and non-criminal justice information systems to improve results for communities. BJA will use the lessons learned to develop a rich body of evidence for use by prosecutors nationally as they seek to work with communities to solve chronic problems and fight violent crime.</Description>

        <Description>This program was authorized by the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 (NIAA). The NIAA was enacted in the wake of the April 2007 shooting tragedy at Virginia Tech. The Virginia Tech shooter was able to purchase firearms from a Federal Firearms License (FFL) because information about his prohibiting mental health history was not available to the NICS, and the system was therefore unable to deny the transfer of the firearms used in the shootings. The NIAA seeks to address the gap in information available to NICS about such prohibiting mental health adjudications and commitments and other prohibiting factors. Filling these information gaps will better enable the system to operate as intended to keep guns out of the hands of persons prohibited by federal or state law from receiving or possessing firearms. The automation of records will also reduce delays for law-abiding gun purchasers. The NIAA authorized this grant program to assist states in providing certain information to the NICS.</Description>

        <Description>With this solicitation, subject to available funding, NIJ seeks proposals for important research work and scholarship as part of the 2016 NIJ Visiting Fellows Program. Awards made under the NIJ Visiting Fellows Program will bring leading researchers and others into residency at NIJ to make important scholarly contributions in their chosen fields of criminology or criminal justice research, and to work with the NIJ Director and staff to help shape the direction of NIJ&amp;apos;s research programs. NIJ will recruit research fellows, who have backgrounds primarily in academic or research settings, and policy fellows, who have backgrounds working primarily in a criminal justice policy or practice setting. NIJ will also recruit partnership fellows, a research fellow and a policy fellow who will work together on a joint-research project. During their fellowship at NIJ, visiting fellows will work on a significant piece of scholarship that has the potential to advance significantly criminology or criminal justice research, such as a major capstone effort culminating a line of research or some work in a new area that has significant potential to transform our understanding of crime and justice in the United States. </Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is accepting applications for a fiscal year (FY) 2016 Cooperative Agreement to Support the Establishment of a Ukraine HIV International Addiction Technology Transfer Center (UHATTC) (Short Title: Ukraine International HIV ATTC ). The purpose of this program is to establish an internationally-based ATTC in Ukraine that primarily builds the capacity and increases the skills and abilities of healthcare providers of the national Ukraine HIV/AIDS program through training, technical assistance, technology transfer, and workforce development. A secondary purpose is to build regional capacity to address the treatment of opioid dependence as part of multiple national HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs. Training and technical assistance by an internationally-based ATTC in behavioral health service provision includes education, skills development, and knowledge transfer on HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment; substance-related and addictive disorders care; treatment in the context of co-occurring substance use and mental disorders; and the establishment of peer recovery programs. The Ukraine International HIV ATTC will work collaboratively with other SAMHSA-funded internationally-based ATTCs and the national ATTC (http://www.nattc.org/home/) in developing evidence-based technical assistance for information exchange and technology transfer.</Description>

        <Description>The CDC Arthritis Program is announcing the availability of fiscal year 2016 funds for a non-research funding opportunity announcement (FOA), CDC-RFA-DP16-1606 Advancing Arthritis Public Health Approaches through National Organizations, to reduce chronic disease morbidity and improve quality of life for people with arthritis. This funding opportunity will support a 5-year cooperative agreement program addressing the &amp;#8220;Healthy People 2020&amp;#8221; focus areas of: Access to Quality Health Services; Arthritis, Osteoporosis, and Chronic Back Conditions; Disability and Secondary Conditions; Educational and Community-Based Programs; Health Communication; and Physical Activity and Fitness (http://www.healthypeople. gov/2020/topics-objectives).Arthritis is an under-addressed, leading contributor to chronic disease and a top cause of morbidity, work limitations, and compromised quality of life. Arthritis remains one of the nation&amp;#8217;s most common causes of disability [1]. The disease affects 52.5 million adults [2], more than half of whom are working aged (&amp;lt; 65), and is projected to affect 67 million adults by 2030 [3]. Arthritis is significant, not just because of its impact on function and quality of life, but also because it is associated with other chronic conditions that are leading causes of death, such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, and because it can interfere with the ability to effectively manage these conditions by its effects on limiting physical activity. The rising number of adults with arthritis and associated activity limitations presents a critical public health problem that can be addressed, at least in part, by increasing awareness and dissemination of arthritis-appropriate, evidence-based physical activity and self-management education interventions (AAEBIs). Reaching more people with these and other resources can help improve arthritis management and health-related quality of life.The purpose of this FOA is to expand and sustain the dissemination and delivery of AAEBIs recommended by CDC for adults with arthritis (http://www.cdc.gov/arthritis/interventions/). This FOA includes three Component areas and is intended to enhance the health, wellness, and quality of life of adults with arthritis and improve arthritis management and health outcomes. Component 1 will focus on expanding the dissemination and delivery of AAEBIs and implementing environmental and policy strategies to support arthritis management and increased access to the AAEBIs. Component 2 will support enhanced provision of arthritis-specific consumer health information. Component 3 will facilitate collaborative public health action to address osteoarthritis. An organization may apply for one or more components. Separate applications are required for each component. These activities will have the following long-term goals:Improved prevention and control of arthritisImproved arthritis health outcomesImproved health-related quality of life among individuals with arthritisImproved management of multiple chronic conditionsThis FOA builds upon DP11-1113, National Organizations to Support Arthritis, a five-year cooperative agreement program that was initiated on September 30, 2011 and concludes on September 29, 2016. ____________________[1] CDC.

        <Description>The purpose of this Notice of Intent is to provide potential applicants advance notice that the Building Technologies Office, on behalf of the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), intends to issue a FOA titled, &amp;#8220;Commercial Buildings and Energy Code Field Studies&amp;#8221;. This FOA supports DOE&amp;#8217;s continued interest in providing tools and data to help local governments, utilities, industry, design and construction professionals and other entities better understand the impact of energy codes and how to most effectively increase energy and cost savings. The Building Energy Codes Program (BECP) issued a residentially-focused FOA in 2014 (DE-FOA-0000953: Strategies to Increase Residential Energy Code Compliance Rates and Measure Results) which is still underway. The current FOA expands the field-based concepts developed in the residential FOA to the much more diverse commercial sector. In particular, DOE is seeking to develop and test a methodology for identifying the commercial energy code requirements that can provide the maximum cost-effective energy and cost savings through increased compliance. DOE has done pilot work in this area which will serve as the basis for the requirements in this FOA. At the same time, there has been very little scientifically-based research conducted on commercial energy codes; DOE therefore anticipates that information gathered during the FOA work will lead to new thinking and approaches which will be incorporated into the project. The full Notice of Intent DE-FOA-0001544 is posted in the FOA Documents section of this NOI. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE. Please do not submit questions or respond to this Notice of Intent. Prospective applicants to the FOA should begin developing partnerships, formulating ideas, and gathering data in anticipation of the issuance of this FOA. It is anticipated that this FOA will be posted to EERE Exchange in or around the last calendar quarter in 2016. </Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Cooperative Agreements for the Expansion and Sustainability of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances (Short title: System of Care (SOC) Expansion and Sustainability Cooperative Agreements). The purpose of this program is to improve behavioral health outcomes for children and youth (birth-21) with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families. This program will support the widescale operation, expansion, and integration of the SOC approach by creating sustainable infrastructure and services that are required as part of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and their Families Program (also known as the Children&amp;#8217;s Mental Health Initiative or CMHI). This cooperative agreement will support the provision of mental health and related recovery support services to children and youth with SED and those with early signs and symptoms of serious mental illness (SMI), including first episode psychosis (FEP), and their families. The SOC Expansion and Sustainability Cooperative Agreements will build upon progress made in developing comprehensive SOC across the country by focusing on sustainable financing, cross-agency collaboration, the creation of policy and infrastructure, and the development and implementation of evidence-based and evidence-informed services and supports. Other activities supported will include the implementation of systemic changes, training, and workforce development. The CMHI provides an excellent example of SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Theory of Change (http://store.samhsa.gov/product/PEP14-LEADCHANGE2). Based on data demonstrating improved outcomes for children, youth, and families, service system improvements, and a positive return on investment, CMHI has been successful in moving the SOC approach from a demonstration program towards a more widescale adoption of the SOC values and principles. &amp;#8195; The goal is to continue these efforts to ensure that this approach becomes the primary way in which mental health services for children and youth with SED are delivered throughout the nation. The SOC Expansion and Sustainability Cooperative Agreements program closely aligns with SAMHSA&amp;#8217;s Recovery Support Strategic Initiative (http://www.samhsa.gov/about-us/strategic-initiatives). In addition, the program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among racial and ethnic minority populations served. (See PART II: Appendix F &amp;#8211; Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities.) The SOC Expansion and Sustainability Cooperative Agreements are authorized under Sections 561-565 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD.</Description>

For the five year project period the applicant is expected to increase capacity in at least three of the six areas: 1) USAPI public health leadership knowledge and skills; 2) organizational infrastructures and processes; 3) public health workforce competencies; 4) development and implementation of public health laws and policies; 5) dissemination of evidence-based practices; and 6) establishment of monitoring and surveillance systems. In this FOA, capacity building is defined as the development and strengthening of human and organizational resources. Capacity building involves enhancing the ability to perform functions, solve problems, and achieve objectives at the individual, institutional and societal levels. Capacity building can be delivered through: a) workforce development by enhancing knowledge, skills, competencies, and creating resources for personnel; b) organizational development by enhancing management structures, processes and procedures within and between organizations and different sectors (public, private and community); and/or c) partnership development by building relationships to effectively address community needs, manage resources, and communicate with the public. Strategic investments in capacity building for the USAPI will address a broad range of public health challenges and needs that contribute significantly in the transformation of public health systems and related components. In general, capacity building assistance is expected to generate an increase in the quality, quantity, efficiency, and effectiveness of USAPI&amp;apos;s public health services and related outcomes, thus ultimately improving population health.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), builds upon the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) which was initiated in 1996 as one of the key activities in a national action plan to combat antibiotic resistance threats. The purpose of this FOA is to protect and promote public health by enhancing, strengthening and sustaining antibiotic resistance surveillance in retail food specimens within the NARMS program. The NARMS cooperative agreements will improve the detection of antibiotic resistance among enteric bacteria in food commodities, as well as potentially develop new sites as part of the program. Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the NARMS Objectives.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to support efforts to increase communication and dissemination of CDC-developed approaches to school-based programs for creating healthier adolescents (individuals in the 10-19 years age group) with reduced HIV infection and other STDs. Under other funding, CDC works with state and local education agencies to build the capacity of secondary schools to implement exemplary sexual health education (ESHE) programs; increase student access to sexual health services (SHS) including HIV and STD testing; create safe and supportive environments (SSE) for all students, particularly those at greatest risk for HIV infection and other STDs; and to educate decision makers on related policies (POLICY). This effort would allow for CDC to partner with national organizations that have a broader public health reach beyond the school setting for disseminating adolescent HIV, other STDs and unintended pregnancy prevention tools and materials. The expectation is that CDC funding will leverage partner resources to reach more adolescents in schools with needed information and services to prevent HIV, other STDs, and teen pregnancy. The FOA will support CDC and collaboration between national public health and public education partners with a resource center to advance HIV and STD prevention among adolescents. Funded organization(s) will conduct activities under one and/or two of these strategies: 1. Create national partnerships that have a vested interest in promoting efforts to reduce HIV, STDs, and unintended pregnancy as well as reduce behaviors that contribute to health risks among our Nation&amp;apos;s adolescents (10-19-years old). 2. Adapt and disseminate CDC-developed school-based HIV prevention guidance and other materials that reflect CDC&amp;apos;s approach to school-based programs to entities that have a vested interest in preventing HIV infection and other STDs among our Nation&amp;apos;s adolescents, including those in schools and those in non-traditional school settings.</Description>

The BHC establishing legislation (22 U.S.C.  290n) calls for close coordination and integration with each of the four state offices of border health, and enabled the Commission to locate its border health operations within those existing state offices to avoid duplicative efforts. The four U.S. offices of border health have extensive experience supporting the BHC binational goals, objectives, and initiatives, and maintain important working relationships and shared ongoing initiatives with Mexico through the appropriate BHC outreach office(s) on the Mexican side of the border.

        <Description>The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 THSGP plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal) of a secure and resilient Nation. Delivering core capabilities requires the combined effort of the whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any single organization or level of government. The FY 2016 THSGP&amp;apos;s allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas described in the Goal. The THSGP supports the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review Mission to Strengthen National Preparedness and Resilience.</Description>

        <Description>NEH invites proposals for a cooperative agreement to develop and administer a national or regional (multistate) project to advance the role of the humanities at community colleges through curriculum and faculty development focused on the theme of Bridging Cultures. This agency-wide initiative encourages exploration of the ways in which cultures from around the globe, as well as the myriad subcultures within America&amp;#146;s borders, have influenced American society. With the aim of revitalizing intellectual and civic life through the humanities, NEH welcomes proposals that enhance understanding of diverse countries, peoples, and cultural and intellectual traditions worldwide. Applications might also investigate how Americans have approached and attempted to surmount seemingly unbridgeable cultural divides, or examine the ideals of civility and civic discourse that have informed this quest. Successful applicants will work in partnership with NEH to develop and implement a curriculum and professional development project for faculty members from community colleges across the United States or in a multistate region. The project will help community college faculty and administrators create new courses on Bridging Cultures themes or topics; design new course sequences, concentrations, and core curricula; or conduct scholarly research that will improve faculty preparation and enrich teaching. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that seek additional funding to support the next stage of development for projects that were previously funded under SBIR or STTR Phase II awards from any Federal agency. Projects proposed in response to this FOA must be applicable to one of the following areas: (1) cancer therapeutics; (2) cancer imaging technologies, interventional devices, and/or in vivo diagnostics; or (3) in vitro and ex vivo cancer diagnostics and prognostics. The purpose of this FOA is to facilitate the transition of SBIR or STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage. This FOA is expected to promote partnerships between Federally-funded SBIR or STTR Phase II awardees and third-party investors and/or strategic partners to facilitate and accelerate the capital-intensive steps that are required to commercialize new products and services. Applicants must submit a Commercialization Plan, which should include details on any independent third-party investor funding that has already been secured or is anticipated during the Phase IIB Bridge Award project period. It is expected that the level of this independent third-party funding will be equal to or greater than the NCI funds being requested throughout the Phase IIB Bridge Award project period. Proposed projects may address preclinical and/or clinical stages of technology development. Clinical trials may be proposed as appropriate but are not required. </Description>

        <Description>NIJ seeks proposals to conduct research on policing to improve policing practices and public safety at the State, local, and tribal levels. In 2015, a task force was created by President Barack Obama to examine the current state of policing in the United States. In response to a number of high profile events across the nation involving the police, the panel provided recommendations on promising policing practices that police could adopt as effective crime fighting strategies that would also strengthen trust and confidence in the police among community residents that they serve. The panel identified a number of reforms or &amp;#194;&amp;#156;pillars that were viewed as vital to improving current police practices. In response to the recommendations and action items proposed by the task force, NIJ is interested in research in the following topical areas: 1. Research and Evaluation of Strategies to Build and Strengthen Police-Community Relationships 2. Research and Evaluation of Police Training 3. Research and Evaluation on Officer Wellness and Safety 4. Research and Evaluation on Police Technology 5. Research on Crime Scene Investigations: Triaging Evidence </Description>

        <Description>The current pipeline of candidate antimicrobial products is insufficient to counter the threat of antimicrobial resistance . A novel collaborative model is needed to spur innovation and investment towards new antimicrobial products to repopulate the early development pipeline. In 2014, the United States Government released the National Strategy for Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria. A component of the National Strategy is to establish a Biopharmaceutical Accelerator for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria [Accelerator] to fund Research and Development (R&amp;amp;D) activities to help progress candidate products from the proof-of-concept stage through pre-clinical development. Candidates that graduate from the Accelerator will be better positioned for R&amp;amp;D investment and clinical development. There are various Accelerator models in the marketplace. The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Accelerator will be a non-equity accelerator that provides non-dilutive funding to product developers for R&amp;amp;D activities and enables the product developers to retain full ownership and control of their company. The Accelerator for CARB will be focusing only on antibacterial products. BARDA will provide direct funding and NIAID will provide in-kind services (e.g. preclinical services, technical expertise) to the Accelerator [the cooperative agreement recipient] that will manage a portfolio of investments of early stage antimicrobial product candidates.</Description>

        <Description>The mission of OMH is to improve the health of racial and ethnic minority populations through the development of health policies and programs to eliminate health disparities. OMH serves as the focal point in HHS for leadership, policy development and coordination, service demonstrations, information exchange, coalition and partnership building, and related efforts to address the health needs of racial and ethnic minorities.The importance of providing support for formerly incarcerated individuals successful reentry to their communities as a critical tool in breaking the cycle of drug use and crime, providing a second chance, and improving the public health and public safety of our communities is widely recognized. RE-LINK will demonstrate the effectiveness of multiple stakeholders working together to implement a model transition process. Approximately 2.2 million individuals are prisoners in the United States. About 60 percent of U.S. prisoners are either African American or Latino. In the United States, about one in every 35 African American men and one in every 88 Latino men is serving time, compared to one in 214 white men. Studies show that approximately two-thirds of those formerly incarcerated will likely be rearrested within three years of release. In addition, more than 80% of state prisoners, 72% of federal prisoners, and 82% of jail inmates meet the criteria for having either a mental or substance use issue. Upon release from incarceration, transitional housing, or substance use disorder treatment programs, high-risk transitional populations may enter into a fragmented system that does not link them to appropriate health, behavioral health, social and supportive services, employment, mentoring and housing. While there are currently some forms of extensive case management, navigation, and coordination services provided to reentry and transitional populations, the availability of such services varies by state. Moreover, the referral and/or coordination services that are available may not be sufficiently intensive or comprehensive, due to severely limited community resources. Decreased accessibility to the job market, lack of job skills, lack of a medical home, and limited community resources coupled with difficulty in navigating a complex health and social service system, further decreases the quality of life for individuals who are already disenfranchised.</Description>

        <Description>Under Title XVI of Public Law 102-575 (Title XVI), Reclamation works to identify and investigate opportunities to reclaim and reuse wastewater and naturally impaired ground and surface water in the 17 Western States and Hawaii. Title XVI also provides authority for Reclamation to provide up to 25 percent of the total cost of water recycling and reuse research studies. The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite research sponsors to request cost-shared funding to address water supply challenges by establishing or expanding water reuse markets, improving existing water reuse facilities, and streamlining the implementation of state of the art technology for new facilities. For the purposes of this FOA, state of the art is defined as the latest and most advanced technologies or processes currently available in the industry for deployment and implementation. State of the art technology does not include innovative technologies or processes that are currently under development through pilot or demonstration research efforts.</Description>

        <Description>This is a funding opportunity for NGO programs benefiting refugees and other vulnerable populations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. For Afghanistan, proposals must focus on activities supporting protection, including child protection and/or gender-based violence prevention and response, Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), livelihoods, and psychosocial assistance. For Pakistan, proposed programs should address protection, including legal protection, child protection and/or gender-based violence prevention and response, education (primary only), livelihoods, and psychosocial assistance. For Central Asia, proposals will be considered for activities supporting protection, including strengthening institutional capacity for providing protection, legal protection, child protection and/or gender-based violence prevention and response, and livelihoods. Because of PRM&amp;apos;s mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM will consider funding only those projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 percent Afghan refugee returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Afghanistan, Afghan refugees in Pakistan, and Afghan refugees and stateless individuals in Central Asia.</Description>

        <Description>The objective of the DARPA Biological Control program is to build new capabilities for the control of biological systems across scales &amp;#8212; from nanometers to centimeters, seconds to weeks, and biomolecules to populations of organisms &amp;#8212; using embedded controllers made of biological parts to program system-level behavior. This program will apply and advance existing control theory to design and implement generalizable biological control strategies analogous to conventional control engineering, for example, for mechanical and electrical systems. The resulting advances in fundamental understanding and capabilities will create new opportunities for engineering biology. Specifically, the Biological Control program will demonstrate tools to rationally design and implement multiscale, closed-loop control of biological systems, through the development of biological controllers, testbeds to evaluate control of system-level behavior, and theory and models to predict and design effective control strategies. The resulting capabilities will be inherently generalizable to a variety of biological systems. Successful teams will integrate and apply these capabilities to demonstrate a practical proof-of-principle biological solution to a proposer-defined application relevant to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).</Description>

        <Description>NPS did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: The Dunes Learning Center has been working with the NPS for 15 years to develop joint programming for schools, youth and adults. They work with school districts years in advance to schedule residential programming and have worked closely with the NPS to develop, implement and evaluate a high quality curriculum. The NPS wants to continue that excellent service to the community without an interruption of programming or a disruption in the community involvement that has been taking place with organizations throughout the region. This particular project involves working with the volunteer youth corps to provide an overnight in-depth experience at another national park. It also involves working with a regional symphony group to produce an anniversary concert involving a variety of partners and stakeholders. This partner is especially poised to provide those services and has been doing so for over 10 years with the NPS.</Description>

        <Description>This project is the second year of a prospective four-year project to conduct an archeological inventory within targeted areas of the Pea Ridge National Military Park. This project is a collaboration among the Midwest Archaeological Center of the National Park Service, Pea Ridge National Military Park, and the Arkansas Archeological Survey (ARAS) organized under the federal Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) program. Field work and subsequent analyses will increase our understanding of the site history and events that occurred in historic Leetown, providing the National Park Service with more accurate and comprehensive interpretation of historic events both for content presented on-site and at the Visitor Center. The overall goal of this project is to conduct an archeological inventory of Leetown and associated cultural features (i.e., cemetery, road, etc.), while evaluating the extent of intact archeological deposits associated with Leetown. The second year of this four-year project will accomplish four performance goals through the combination of targeted, multisensor geophysical techniques and excavations to investigate: 1) the cultural landscape of mid to late 19th-century Leetown; 2) precisely identify subsurface cultural anomalies associated with activities at Leetown, with the Leetown cemetery and previous roads as areas of targeted focus; 3) evaluate the interpretative potential and integrity of subsurface archeological deposits at Leetown; and 4) prepare artifacts for analysis and conduct a preliminary analysis of recovered culturally related data. </Description>

        <Description>The Recipient is with a department of the University of Indiana who was awarded a Master Cooperative Agreement P14AC00027 allowing Indiana University, on behalf of the National Center on Accessibility to participate in specific tasks, and can provide the necessary activities involved in this particular task while providing an effective outcome for NPS and the objectives of this research/educational project. The National Center on Accessibility, under the RPTS department, is one of the nation&amp;#8217;s premiere resources promoting access for people with disabilities in the park and recreation environment. Over the last 20 years, NCA has played a critical role in increasing awareness of inclusion of people with disabilities in parks, recreation, and tourism while advancing the spirit and intent of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Rehabilitation Act and other disability legislation. Through the comprehensive services of Research, Technical Assistance, and Education, NCA focuses on universal design and practical accessibility solutions creating inclusive recreation opportunities for people of all abilities. NCA links the preferences and needs of people with disabilities to those of practitioners designing facilities and planning programs. Since NCAs inception in 1992, professional such as park superintendents, facility mangers, architects and landscape architects, program coordinators, civil engineers, planners, interpreters and exhibit designers, accessibility coordinators, advocates, and consumers have drawn on NCA as a valued resource. Through this task agreement, NPS agrees to work in collaboration with the NCA to develop the goals for a webinar and a face-to-face program for practitioners designing facilities and planning programs; work with NCA to identify targeted audiences and advertise the programs to those participants; and use lessons learned through programs to be more inclusive of people with disabilities in park and recreation environments, public outreach and education, programs, and opportunities. </Description>

        <Description>Analysis of diatoms in lake sediments is a powerful tool to detect recent environmental change, or to place modern conditions in a regional and historical context. Interpretation of diatom data is dependent on accurate environmental measurements including the concentrations of nutrients and chlorophyll in water. The objective is to identify diatoms collected from lake sediment and analyze water samples for nutrient and chlorophyll levels. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The principal investigator and NPS GLKN Aquatic Ecologist will jointly serve as co-investigators and project managers throughout the project. The co-investigators, along with the Midwest Regional Aquatic Ecologist, will collaborate on data analysis and interpretation, and will serve as co-authors on any final reports and/or peer-reviewed journal articles arising from the project. National Park Service and Recipient Tasks follow: RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT: 1. Appoint Dr. Mark Edlund, senior scientist from the SCWRS, a field station of the Science Museum of Minnesota, as the principal investigator for administering this work. 2. Analyze and provide results for water samples provided by the National Park Service. Parameters to be analyzed include total phosphorus, total nitrogen, nitrate+nitrite nitrogem, ammonium nitrogen, and chlorophyll a, with approximately ~200 samples for each parameter annually. Results will include detection limits, reporting limits, QAQC report, and any appropriate data flags (with corresponding explanation). Maximum (lower) detection limits and methods will be as follows: Analyte Method detection limit Method TP 5 &amp;#181;g/L Alkaline Persulfate Digestion TN 15 &amp;#181;g/L Alkaline Persulfate Digestion NO3+NO2-N 3 &amp;#181;g/L 4500 -NH3(F) NH4-N 5 &amp;#181;g/L 4500 -NH3(F) Chlorophyll-a 1 &amp;#181;g/L 445: In-Vitro Determination of Chlorophyll 3. Analyze diatoms from lake surface sediments. Samples will be collected from approximately 10 lakes per year. Diatom samples will be prepared and counted as described in Ramstack et al. (2008) for surface sediment samples. From each sample a lake-specific inventory of diatom species richness and relative abundance will be assembled. Transfer functions created from existing diatom calibration models will be applied to the relative abundance data to reconstruct environmental variables of interest. 4. Analyze quality assurance/quality control samples for diatoms according to Ramstack et al. (2008). 5. Conduct numerical analysis of diatom results. In addition to applying calibration set transfer functions using weighted averaging regression and calibration to reconstruct specific environmental variables, multivariate ordination techniques will be used to explore community-level changes. The diatom assemblages from each surface sediment sample will be ordinated relative to surface sediment calibration sets using detrended canonical correspondence analysis (DCCA) to construct historical environmental lake trajectories (Engstrom et al. 2000). For lakes that have had longer sediment cores analyzed, the environmental lake trajectories will extend back over 200 years. Using the GLKN diatom training set and other regional sets including Ramstack et al. (2003), Edlund and Kingston (2004), or Kingston&amp;apos;s (unpublished), if necessary, to create lake trajectories will allow analysis of both direction and magnitude of community and environmental change (e.g., TP, alkalinity, color, recovery to natural conditions) among lakes or samples. Magnitude of change will reflect specific environmental reconstructions. Direction of change will be interpreted in two ways: 1) at a community level, analysis of a sample will be placed in the context of other analyzed diatom communities. For example, do the most recent samples begin to &amp;quot;return&amp;quot; to the pre-settlement condition (community) of a lake; 2) community data will be passively plotted against an environmental-diatom training set to identify the environmental gradients along which the community is changing (e.g., is the diatom community changing along a trophic gradient or a pH gradient?). 6. Produce a technical report summarizing results of diatom analysis in the context of the historical natural range of variation as well as the trajectory of recent change on an every-other-year basis. Interpretation regarding the causes of recent changes in diatom communities relative to water chemistry will be included. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT: 1. Assign Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network (GLKN) Aquatic Ecologist David VanderMeulen as the NPS Principle Investigator. 2. Collect surface sediment from approximately 10 lakes per year. A line-operated gravity corer will be used to collect the upper 0-2 cm of sediment, separated into 0-1 cm and 1-2 cm subsamples according to Ramstack et al. (2008), for an integrated assessment of lake conditions during the past 1-5 years. Collection will occur at previously located sites (via GPS) at the central depositional basin in each lake. 3. Collect water samples. Field collection of water samples will follow the protocols according to Elias et al. (2008) for lakes and Magdalene et al. (2008) for rivers. All supplies (field equipment, bottles, chain of custody forms, coolers) will be provided by GLKN. Samples will be preserved appropriately according to methods agreed upon by SCWRS and GLKN and sent to SCWRS for analysis. 4. Provide water quality data to SCWRS. All field-collected data and water chemistry data from labs other than SCWRS will be provided to SCWRS as soon as available following the end of the field season. These data will be used for interpretation of diatom community analyses and in collaborative reports. 5. Manage data and metadata. GLKN will ensure that data and metadata from the project are entered into appropriate databases and made available to other state and federal agencies, partners, and the public. 6. Acquire permits. GLKN will acquire all necessary park permits to conduct the field work. 7. Prepare reports. GLKN will prepare annual park briefs according the internal guidelines, submit Investigator&amp;#8217;s Annual Reports to the online NPS database, review SCWRS annual reports, and collaborate with SCWRS on comprehensive synthesis reports. </Description>

        <Description>The project will help NPS manage its cave and karst resources during a period when White Nose Syndrome (WNS) is having a tragic adverse impact upon the cave roosting bat species of the Ozarks. Buffalo National River (BNR) contains over 400 documented cave and karst resources which provide roosting habitat to three bats listed as Endangered and one which is listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act. In addition to these species, BNR is home to four additional species of cave roosting bats. Three of these four species are expected to be candidate or listed species within the next 5 years. BNR requires a much better understanding of the cave and karst resources and the bats which use them for roosting. To this end, BNR has entered into a cooperative agreement with Cave Research Foundation (CRF) to assist with locating, documenting, and mapping caves; maintaining a database of cave and karst features; maintaining a database of cave biological occurrences; conducting bat surveys in caves; developing WNS outreach information for visitors, schools, and others; placing signs on caves used as roosts by bats; and monitoring temperature and relative humidity at important bat roosts via electronic dataloggers. NPS provides equipment, supplies, housing, and directs the work on a day to day basis. NPS approves all products. NPS collaborates with CRF to plan each year&amp;#8217;s activities and also collaborates for publications and presentations. CRF was selected because they have over 50 years experience assisting NPS with documenting and managing cave and karst resources. CRF has skilled cave mappers, cartographers, database managers, biologists, and many other specialists who are willing to donate their time and money to help manage the BNR. No other organization in this area has the capacity or breadth of experience and knowledge that CRF possesses. Because this is a continuation of a project, BNR feels justified in providing an assistance award to CRF under this circumstance. </Description>

        <Description>The Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving applications from multi-institutional teams to carry out experimental research in magnetic fusion energy sciences on international long-pulse superconducting tokamak facilities. The FES Burning Plasma Science: Long Pulse: Tokamak program element supports U.S scientific teams who work in collaboration with overseas scientists to explore critical science and technology issues at the frontiers of magnetic fusion research, including the exploration of new plasma physics regimes. These collaborations take advantage of the unique capabilities of the most advanced international research facilities and allow the U.S. fusion program to gain the knowledge needed to operate long duration plasma discharges in ITER and other fusion energy devices. The specific areas of interest for this FOA involve the major scientific challenge of achieving high-performance core plasma regimes suitable for long pulse. Specific topical areas of interest include: 1. Studying and developing high-performance operating states that can be robustly produced, sustained, and controlled for long periods of time; 2. Understanding boundary and scrape-off layer physics and developing and demonstrating divertor solutions that provide improved power handling, acceptable target plate erosion and compatibility with good core confinement; 3. Understanding the processes that couple the plasma to the material walls, including actuators for sustainment and control, and developing and demonstrating integrated solutions for the plasma material interface that extrapolate to steady-state reactor application; and 4. Establishing the physics and engineering of auxiliary systems that provide the means of controlling plasmas for long periods. To be considered for funding, applicants must have discussed their proposed research with the program leaders and key scientific collaborators at the international facility or facilities where they propose to carry out collaborative research. Applicants must provide a letter of collaboration or other indication of common understanding for the proposed research from a program leader at each facility, which should include the specific commitments in terms of local resources made by each facility, as well as describe the respective roles, responsibilities and mode of interaction between the hosts and collaborators. Priority will be given to applications that address the FES strategic priorities; take full advantage of the recently upgraded capabilities of the international superconducting long-pulse tokamaks; address critical issues identified in recent community research needs workshops; allow U.S. scientists to maintain and expand their leadership role in international collaborations; and make effective use of remote collaboration capabilities and tools to optimize the balance between on-site presence and remote participation. Additional information on each area of interest is included in the Description of Topical Areas section under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION below. A companion Program Announcement to DOE National Laboratories (LAB 16-1498) will be posted on the Office of Science Grants and Contracts web site at: http://science.energy.gov/grants/lab-announcements/open/ </Description>

        <Description>The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2016 Capacity Building Initiative for Substance Abuse (SA) and HIV Prevention Services for At-Risk Racial/Ethnic Minority Youth and Young Adults (HIV CBI) cooperative agreements. The purpose of this program is to support an array of activities to assist grantees in building a solid foundation for delivering and sustaining quality and accessible state-of-the-science substance abuse and HIV prevention services. The program aims to engage community-level domestic public and private non-profit entities, tribes and tribal organizations to prevent and reduce the onset of SA and transmission of HIV/AIDS among at-risk populations ages 13-24, including racial/ethnic minority youth and young adults, hereafter referred to as the population of focus. Applicants may elect to serve youth aged 13-17, young adults aged 18-24, or elect to serve both youth and young adults. SAMHSA is particularly interested in eliciting the interest of college and university clinics/wellness centers and community-based providers who can provide comprehensive substance abuse and HIV prevention strategies to reduce the impact of substance use, HIV, and viral hepatitis in high-risk communities. These strategies must combine education and awareness programs, social marketing campaigns, and HIV and viral hepatitis (VH) testing services in non-traditional settings with substance abuse and HIV prevention programming for the population of focus. HIV CBI is one of CSAP&amp;#8217;s Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) programs. The purpose of the MAI is to provide substance abuse and HIV/VH prevention services to at-risk minority populations in communities disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide an expedited (rapid) funding mechanism for research on Zika virus (ZIKV) and its complications.ZIKV is a single-stranded RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family. It is transmitted to humans primarily through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitos, though both perinatal/in utero and sexual transmission have been reported.Initially discovered in 1947, it has been reported in the Americas since 2014, with a major outbreak in Brazil starting in 2015.Disease is seen in about 20% of infected people and is usually self-limited.However, a possible association between ZIKV infection in pregnant women and severe microcephaly in their babies has been very concerning and prompted the World Health Organization to declare this potential complication a public health emergency. Additionally the virus has been found in blood, fueling growing concerns about the risk of transfusion-transmissionwith particular concern over severe outcomes in at risk transfusion recipient populations such as women who are pregnant.</Description>

        <Description>Pre-applications were received and reviewed as described in the previous Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for pre-applications (See NOFO for pre-applications). After review, approximately 25 applicants were invited to submit full applications which support the Implementation Plan&amp;#8217;s Objectives and Next Steps. On February 11, 2014, President Obama issued the National Strategy for Combating Wildlife Trafficking. Incorporating recommendations from the Advisory Council on Wildlife Trafficking, the Implementation Plan was released on February 11, 2015 to guide and direct the efforts of Federal agencies in executing the Strategy. The Plan followed the structure and objectives of the three Strategic Priorities identified in the Strategy: Strengthen Enforcement (including both U.S. Domestic Enforcement and Global Enforcement), Reduce Demand for Illegally Traded Wildlife, and Expand International Cooperation and Commitment. Twenty-four objectives fall under these three Strategic Priorities, each including a number of Next Steps that identify discrete actions.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is identified as a lead or participating agency in all 24 Implementation Plan Objectives, reflecting the commitment and history of USFWS International Affairs and Office of Law Enforcement in the fight against the illegal wildlife trade. To complement and facilitate existing efforts, USFWS has developed this Notice of Funding Opportunity to provide financial assistance to projects that advance counter-wildlife trafficking activities (wildlife defined to include terrestrial and aquatic species and timber) as outlined in the Next Steps of the National Strategys Implementation Plan.Applicants may submit pre-proposals to support any of the Implementation Plans Objectives. Priority will be given, however, to proposals related to the Objectives identified below, which have been identified as appropriate activities for awards. 1. Strengthen Enforcement: Global Enforcementa. Support Governments in Building CapacityDescription: The USFWS will support efforts to assist foreign governments in range, transit, and consumer countries affected by wildlife trafficking in building their capacity to address the wildlife trafficking chain at any critical stage of enforcement. These efforts may focus on building the capacity to fight wildlife trafficking through: crafting strong laws, stopping poachers, protecting borders, investigating traffickers, fighting trafficking-related corruption, improving professionalism, strengthening judicial and prosecutorial effectiveness, building and bringing strong cases, and obtaining penalties adequate to deter others.b. Support Community-Based Wildlife ConservationDescription: The USFWS will support efforts to work with local communities in foreign countries to protect wildlife and prevent wildlife trafficking. For example, USFWS will support efforts to strengthen reporting of poaching and other trafficking activities by local communities working with authorities, as well as efforts that create local support for conserving wildlife, including through work to strengthen or create economic incentives for communities to protect wildlife. USFWS will also support efforts to work with communities to develop secure methods of sharing information with enforcement officials and efforts to further develop community based conservation initiatives in key wildlife areas where poaching occurs or is likely. c. Support Development and Use of Effective Technologies and Analytical ToolsDescription: The USFWS will support efforts to develop and broadly disseminate cost effective analytic tools and technological solutions to support wildlife trafficking investigations and prosecutions. For example, USFWS will support efforts to improve methods and capacity for customs, border and investigative personnel to detect and identify illegally traded wildlife and wildlife products, and for programs to build international forensic capacity. 2. Reduce Demand for Illegally Traded Wildlifea. Raise Public Awareness and Change BehaviorDescription: The USFWS will support efforts to raise public awareness and recognition of wildlife trafficking and its negative impacts, and associated risks of prosecution, as a means to change harmful consumption patterns and eliminate the demand for illegally traded wildlife and wildlife products. For example, where a lack of public awareness has been demonstrated to be the primary barrier to reducing demand, the USFWS will support activities such as social media campaigns, public service announcements, and the use of public spaces at home and abroad, which target specific consumer groups to raise public awareness of the illegal wildlife trade. USFWS will also support efforts to work with the private sector to raise awareness within organizations and among their respective consumer bases and audiences on the broader impacts and risks of buying or selling illegal wildlife products. b. Promote Demand Reduction Efforts GloballyDescription: The USFWS will support efforts to eliminate the market for illegally traded wildlife in key consumer countries and regions. For example, the USFWS will support efforts to develop, assess and implement best practices, effective approaches and robust methodologies in demand reduction in key consumer countries and range states.3. Expand International Cooperation and Commitmenta. Strengthen International Agreements and Arrangements that Protect WildlifeDescription: The USFWS will support efforts to strengthen and ensure effective implementation and enforcement of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and other existing international agreements and arrangements, pursuing the adoption of appropriate measures to respond to the current crisis of poaching and trafficking. b. Cooperate with Other Governments (Bilateral and regional)Description: The USFWS will support efforts to catalyze political will and actions to address wildlife trafficking at all levels of government in foreign countries. These efforts may include government commitments to combat wildlife trafficking through multilateral, bilateral and/or regional agreements, and prioritizing wildlife trafficking in environmental and trade agreements. Outcomes may include securing key wildlife populations and habitats; providing information on the status of targeted species and of groups involved in poaching and trafficking; enhancing governance for the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife and other natural resources; and leveraging wildlife trafficking with efforts in other areas to develop synergies.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK) is offering a funding opportunity to analyze existing elk (Cervus canadensis) blood test data to determine if experimental manipulations of feed distribution and feeding season duration are succeeding in lowering elk-to-elk brucellosis transmission (as indicated by site specific seroprevalence) over time. In undertaking this effort, will need to assess the degree to which experimental manipulations have been implemented across elk feedgrounds in the Greater Yellowstone Area of Wyoming. The development of general linear regression models will be necessary to evaluate whether there is a correlation between the treatment intensity and changes in elk seroprevalence before and after the inception of the altered feeding while control for other potentially confounding factors, such as time, site, elk age and sex.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH16ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of specialized science experimental hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals, depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2017, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://nasascience.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2016/ Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2016 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/.

        <Description>Humanities Access grants help support capacity building for humanities programs that benefit one or more of the following groups: youth, communities of color, and economically disadvantaged populations. Humanities Access grants establish or augment term endowments (that is, endowments whose funds are entirely expended over the course of a set time period) to provide funding for existing programs at institutions such as public libraries, local and regional museums, historical societies, community colleges, HBCUs and tribal colleges, Hispanic-serving institutions, archival repositories, and other cultural organizations. Humanities Access grants are intended to seed longer-term endowment-building efforts. Programs supported by Humanities Access grants might include, for example &amp;#8226; a summer project for teens at a local historical society; &amp;#8226; internships for Native American students at a tribal museum; or &amp;#8226; a Clemente course at a homeless shelter organized by a community college. Humanities Access Grants offer two years of match-based funding to be expended through a term endowment over the final three years of the five-year grant period. Humanities Access grant funds should not be used to replace existing program funds. Instead, the grant should expand or enhance an existing exemplary humanities program. Institutions that have never received an NEH grant and small to mid-sized institutions are especially encouraged to apply. </Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite cooperative agreement (U01) applications that propose studies to enhance pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo testing of NCI-prioritized molecularly targeted anti-cancer agents for use with radiation therapy combined with systemic chemotherapy. These studies should generate validated high-quality preclinical data on the effects of molecular therapeutics when added to standard-of-care therapies for solid tumors. The specific purpose is to provide a more rational basis for prioritizing those NCI-supported investigational new drugs or agents (INDs) most likely to have clinical activity with chemo-radiotherapy. The overall goal is to accelerate the pace at which combined modality treatments with greater efficacy are identified and incorporated into standard practices for treatments of patients with solid tumors.</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA or EPA), through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, seeks applications for collaborative, community-based research that will foster better understanding of how ecosystems support human health and well-being. Specifically, this research should examine how communities can integrate ecosystem services with human health and well-being to inform their decision making and management practices. It should also develop information that allows communities to integrate environmental, societal and economic information and to better manage multiple stressors and their cumulative impacts on humans and ecosystems. The ultimate goal is to help communities achieve their own objectives.</Description>

The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA.

        <Description>The FY 2016 grants to Military-Connected Local Educational Agencies for Academic and Support Programs (MCASP) are 5-year grants that aim to strengthen family-school-community relationships and enhance student achievement among military dependent students. Applicants may choose to design their projects according to academic goals, military-connected support goals, or a combination of both. Military dependent student support projects should address the social-emotional needs of military dependent students. All projects should strengthen teacher content knowledge and skills through sustained professional development. Please note that applicants are required to use the first year of their award as a planning year. During this year, such activities as refining project plans, providing professional development, securing necessary resources, and hiring or revising staff positions take place.Awards will be made to local educational agencies (LEAs) on behalf of their eligible school(s). To qualify:&amp;#8226; All participating schools must have a 15 percent or greater military dependent student enrollment.Although funding is contingent upon military dependent student enrollment, it is expected that the proposed programs may serve all students at the target schools. Funding may also target sub-groups of military dependent students, such as students with disabilities (SWDs) and English language learners (ELLs). LEAs may submit only one application on behalf of its eligible schools.The following two caveats should be noted:&amp;#8226; Program impact on military dependent student subgroups must be demonstrable and measureable. Districts must be able to disaggregate all outcomes to show military dependent student growth.&amp;#8226; Student support programs must focus primarily on military dependent students and include impacts that are demonstrable and measureable. Districts must be able to disaggregate outcomes for military dependent students.Definition of Military dependent Student: The term military dependent student is defined as an elementary or secondary school student who is: (i) a dependent of a member of the Armed Forces; (ii) a dependent of a civilian employee of the Department of Defense; or (iii) a dependent of a person who is not amember of the Armed Forces or a civilian employee of the Department of Defense but who is employed on Federal property.Authorization: Section 574 (d) of P.L. 109-364, as amended; Title 10 U.S.C. Section 2192(b) and Title 10 U.S.C. Section 2193a</Description>

        <Description>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA or EPA), through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, seeks applications for collaborative, community-based research that will foster better understanding of how ecosystems support human health and well-being. Specifically, this research should examine how communities can integrate ecosystem services with human health and well-being to inform their decision making and management practices. It should also develop information that allows communities to integrate environmental, societal and economic information and to better manage multiple stressors and their cumulative impacts on humans and ecosystems. The ultimate goal is to help communities achieve their own objectives.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support hypothesis-driven research to discover human biomarkers in Parkinsons disease and other Parkinsonian syndromes, as a component of the NINDS Parkinsons Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP). This FOA encourages biomarkers discovery projects in 1) genetically causal Parkinson&amp;apos;s disease, especially for particular sub-types of Parkinson&amp;apos;s Disease (PD), including genetic cohorts, biologically defined cohorts of idiopathic PD, or ethnic subgroups of idiopathic PD; 2) The differentiation of synucleinopathies (such as PD and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) from tauopathies (such asProgressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal degeneration); or 3) to improve diagnostic differentiation between idiopathic/subtypes of PD and these disorders, as well as from Essential tremor. In order to further advance research in this area, broad sharing of biospecimens and associated data is a critical feature of the PDBP generally and of this FOA specifically.A timeline including milestones, which will be used to evaluate the application not only in peer review but also in consideration of the awarded project for funding of non-competing award years, is required for all studies.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this FOA is to support innovative interdisciplinary, multi-institute research that will lead to the identification and validation of molecular mechanisms relevant to human biology that contribute to tau toxicity associated with Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD). It is anticipated that this research will also contribute to tool development that can be applied to target validation in FTD clinical trials.Applications must include an administrative core, a scientific governance structure, a minimum of three research projects with milestone plans, resource core(s) that support the basic research efforts of at least two proposed research projects, a data coordination core that will facilitate the distribution of data generated through the Center without Walls with the broad research community and a human biology validation core that will support the validation of mechanisms identified and resources developed under this FOA. Synergy must be evident among Center research projects and cores, such that successful completion of the aims could not be accomplished without the Center structure. This FOA is in response to the Alzheimer&amp;apos;s Disease Related Dementias (ADRD) challenges outlined in the 2015 update to the National Plan to Address Alzheimer&amp;apos;s Disease.</Description>

        <Description>The Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U-STAR) program is designed to provide structured training programs to prepare high-achieving, underrepresented students for doctoral programs in biomedical research fields. Programmatic activities should include authentic research experiences, academic enhancements, skills development, and mentoring. Institutions eligible for MARC U-STAR grants are those with significant enrollments of honors students from groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences. The long-term goal of the program is to enhance the pool of underrepresented students earning baccalaureate and Ph.D degrees in biomedical research fields and ultimately to contribute to the diversification of the nation&amp;apos;s scientific workforce.</Description>

        <Description>The complete RFI can be accessed on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/ The purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to non-powered dams and pumped storage hydropower. EERE is particularly interested in information on challenges related to development, market variability, and how technology affects deployment. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). As a follow on to this RFI, DOE&amp;#8217;s Hydropower Program intends to hold a public workshop where questions in the RFI will be circulated and discussed with attendees. Details regarding this workshop will be provided in a subsequent public notice. This RFI is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA); therefore, EERE is not accepting applications at this time. EERE may issue a FOA in the future based on or related to the content and responses to this RFI; however, EERE may also elect not to issue a FOA. There is no guarantee that a FOA will be issued as a result of this RFI. Responding to this RFI does not provide any advantage or disadvantage to potential applicants if EERE chooses to issue a FOA regarding the subject matter.</Description>

        <Description>This project seeks to extend and refine an existing Community Based Monitoring (CBM) program to better connect existing efforts, improve upon them, and provide continuity for this valuable program. The Cooperative Agreement will provide environmental observations that will assist the Bureau in meeting mandated mission. The observation data will be used by the federal government through BOEM in its NEPA analyses and may also have utility when developing the Bureau&amp;apos;s Five Year Program in assessing the effects of climate change. The proposed agreement also seeks to refine and expand the existing program to reach a broader public in the North Slope and Kenai Peninsula Boroughs, and to promote the utility of CBM for the rest of the Arctic. This agreement also aims to enhance interoperability, quality control, and scientific rigor within the LEO network.</Description>

        <Description>Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: The Yuma Field Office includes many acres along the lower Colorado and Gila Rivers. Extensive damming and conversion to upland has re-characterized the lands along the river that once were natural system, but are now dominated by invasive species. An increase in wildland fires in these areas also greatly affect the reduction in native vegetation and increase in invasive species. Rehabilitation efforts to improve sites offer migratory birds and other wildlife species native habitat for foraging and potential nesting. Crews would work within the Yuma Field Office to assist in restoration activities for threatened and endangered species, prime wildlife habitat, and wildlife fire damage rehabilitation. Main tasks include; chainsaw and hand-tool vegetation clearing, tree planting, seeding, concrete maintenance, irrigation pump maintenance, herbicide application, and light equipment operation (chipper, auger, chainsaw, etc.). b. Objectives: The principle purpose of this agreement is to improve wildlife habitat by offering properly functioning native riparian habitats along the lower Gila River. Wildlife habitat, improvement projects increases partnerships, public involvement, and prime native riparian habitat within degraded and minimally functioning systems. The objective of this agreement is for the public to gain an appreciation for wildlife and their habitats within Arizona so that wildlife are available for future generations to enjoy. The efforts by Federal, state, and private partners along the Colorado and Gila Rivers will ensure the improvement of riparian systems within current degraded and minimally functioning systems. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics Research Network Program. This cooperative agreement opportunity will establish and maintain a national scientific and clinical research network that will promote and coordinate research activities in developmental, behavioral, and psychosocial aspects of pediatric care to improve clinical services and health and related outcomes for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. The Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics Research Network Program was first implemented in 2010. The network infrastructure will support the design and implementation of interdisciplinary research studies that focus on the translation of research to practice; provide the mentoring environment to train a new generation of developmental behavioral pediatrics researchers; and foster the implementation of multi-site research studies. The awardee will complete the following major activities: Infrastructure Development: &amp;#183; Develop and maintain a national network (hereafter referred to as &amp;#8220;the Network&amp;#8221;) of research entities that foster collaborative relationships in research designed to improve access to care, quality of clinical care and treatment for children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities; and &amp;#183; Identify gaps and develop and/or update a research agenda for scientific studies building upon advances in research and practice in developmental and behavioral pediatrics. Communications: &amp;#183; Develop a schedule of on-going communication among Network members and with the HRSA/MCHB Project Officer. Network Activities: &amp;#183; Implement Network activities and research to improve access to care, quality of clinical care and services, and health outcomes for children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities. Such activities and research should address the needs of underserved populations, such as low-income, racial/ethnic minorities, individuals with limited English proficiency, individuals who have limited access to services, and/or other vulnerable populations; &amp;#183; Develop and implement at least three multi-site research studies that will address gaps and promote the research agenda identified by the Network; &amp;#183; Leverage external funding for network research studies or implement network research through both MCHB and external funding sources for at least one multi-site research study; &amp;#183; Enhance the research training and mentorship of a diverse group of junior/new investigators through the use of innovative mentorship/research experiences; and manuscript development drawing upon emerging researchers from within the network; &amp;#183; Translate research findings into clinical practice, as applicable per study findings. Dissemination: &amp;#183; Maintain a Network website to disseminate research findings, activities and products and to engage with the field on Network research and other activities; &amp;#183; Develop and implement a plan to disseminate Network findings through at least two peer-reviewed publications per multi-site study, webinars, annual Network meetings, conference presentations, and other related dissemination activities. These activities should serve to facilitate the transfer of Network findings to a broader audience including researchers, health professionals and providers, policy makers, educators, families, and Title V Children with Special Health Care Needs programs; and &amp;#183; Collaborate with Autism CARES programs to foster information sharing and to advance efforts to improve the system of services for children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities. This Network will advance the evidence base on improving access to care and the quality of care and treatment for children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities. Areas of particular interest and priority include, but are not limited to: &amp;#183; Identifying the most effective and efficient models of assessment and treatment; &amp;#183; Improving access to care and quality of care for children with ASD and other developmental disabilities; &amp;#183; Testing innovative treatment models to address disparities in access to care and treatment experienced by vulnerable and underserved communities, including diverse ethnic/racial, cultural, linguistic, socioeconomic, and geographic populations for whom there is little evidence regarding the effectiveness of treatments, or for whom access to effective treatments is limited; and &amp;#183; Optimizing the health and related outcomes across the lifespan for children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities. Consistent with HRSA&amp;#8217;s mission to improve access to quality services to underserved populations, the MCHB&amp;#8217;s intent is to ensure that research activities are responsive to the cultural and linguistic needs of special populations, that services are family-centered and accessible to consumers, and that the broadest possible representation of culturally distinct and historically underrepresented groups is supported through programs and projects sponsored by the MCHB. Objectives and Function of the Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics Research Network The Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics Research Network will forge partnerships with researchers, clinicians, educators, advocates, families, including state public health programs and other organizations/agencies critical to improving the health and well-being with a focus on, but not limited to, children with ASD and other developmental disabilities. Establishment of strong partnerships between researchers and practitioners is required to assure that new interventions are applied in the clinical care system for the translation of vital research findings to assure better access and quality services for individuals with ASD and other developmental disabilities. The following describes multiple aspects of the Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics Research Network that applicants should consider in the development of their application: Organization and Functions The Network consists of a Network Coordinating Center (NCC) and multiple Collaborating Research Entities/Sites (CREs). The NCC, as the administrative center of the Network, provides leadership and maintains a partnership with its CREs. A sample of this structure is depicted in the following diagram: Network Organizational Structure The NCC is located at the Principal Investigator&amp;#8217;s institution, which is the recipient of the cooperative agreement. The NCC provides a core of administrative and operational functions that include the following: 1) Support a Network infrastructure for research partnership among CREs; 2) Provide the Network with administrative and operations support in activities including, but not limited to, meetings, multidisciplinary educational activities, and development of research studies; 3) Facilitate the process for the development, selection, implementation, and monitoring of scientific research studies; 4) Coordinate a plan to enhance the research training and mentorship of junior/new investigators through the use of innovative mentorship/research experiences and manuscript development; 5) Coordinate the dissemination of findings to health professionals, researchers, policymakers, family members and the greater public; 6) Facilitate data gathering, data management training, and data quality assurance according to developed protocol; 7) Collaborate with Autism CARES or other related programs to foster information sharing, assure synergy, and advance efforts to improve the system of services for children and adolescents with ASD and other developmental disabilities; and 8) Attend the monthly Network meetings. Data Collection and Management. The NCC will facilitate data gathering, data management training, and data quality assurance according to developed protocol. CREs must follow the policies and procedures to: (1) monitor adverse events; (2) report data and other information to the NCC; and (3) ensure good clinical practice (GCP) or other applicable regulatory requirements. Network Steering Committee (NSC) All major scientific decisions will be determined by majority vote of the Network Steering Committee. All participating CREs must agree to abide by the study designs and policies approved by the Network Steering Committee. The Network Steering Committee, by majority vote, will elect a Chair from among the representatives of the CREs. The Network Steering Committee will meet monthly by phone and in person at least once a year. Collaborating Research Entities (CREs) CREs will be public institutions of higher learning and public or private agencies engaged in research or research and training on ASD and other developmental disabilities. The applicant institutions must include faculty members who are well-qualified professionals in the areas of developmental behavioral pediatrics, psychology, and psychiatry; furthermore, institutions must currently support research scientists, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students. CREs may have affiliate faculty from other relevant disciplines such as Maternal and Child Health (MCH) nursing, child development, nutrition, social work, child neurology, speech and language pathology, education, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and public health (e.g., health policy, organization and administration of services, program development, evaluation).</Description>

        <Description>The goal of this FOA is to advance research on the underlying basis for the transfer (or transposition) of aging phenotypes observed between young and old rodents and discovered through heterochronic parabiosis. Examples of transposed phenotypes include reversal of cardiac hypertrophy, partial restoration of cognitive function, improved vascularization, and repair of skeletal muscle after cryo-injury (anti-geronic transposition), or as accelerated loss of cognitive function and neurogenesis (pro-geronic transposition). Other transposed phenotypes, as revealed solely through heterochronic parabiosis, may also be reported in the literature. There are also reports of candidate factors found in circulation that might be causally related to the transposition of these aging phenotypes; these are termed &amp;quot;circulating geronic factors&amp;quot; for purposes of this FOA. To date, these are proteins and peptides that pass between the young and old mice joined by parabiosis, due to anastomosis of their circulatory systems. Based on these novel findings and this novel experimental paradigm, the specific objective of this FOA is to test whether these candidate geronic factors are necessary for the transposition of aging phenotypes. The focus is on phenotypes transposed in heterochronic parabiosis and the candidate factors which are present and functional at physiological concentrations in circulation.</Description>

        <Description>EPA&amp;#8217;s Office of Transportation and Air Quality is soliciting proposals nationwide for projects that achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions in terms of tons of pollution produced by diesel engines and diesel emissions exposure, particularly from fleets operating at or servicing goods movement facilities located in areas designated as having poor air quality. Further, priority for funding may be given to projects which result in outcomes that benefit affected communities, those that engage local communities with respect to the design and performance of the project, and those which can demonstrate the ability to promote and continue efforts to reduce emissions after the project has ended.</Description>

        <Description>The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications from the scientific community to support outstanding research in the area of spermatogenic stem cell (SSC) biology.The overarching goal is to increase the chances that couples may have biological offspring without using conventional assisted reproductive modalities (i.e., IVF, ICSI).A focal point of the initiative is on the development of new techniques to culture and expand these cells over an extended period of time.Another area of study includes methods to eliminate malignant cells from SSC cultures following chemotherapy/radiation treatment. Also, spermatogenic stem cells from human adults could have a major impact on drug development and toxicity testing as animal-based systems do not sufficiently mirror the situation in humans.</Description>

        <Description>With a ceiling of US $32 million over a five-year period, the planned &amp;#8220;Defeat Malaria&amp;#8221; activity will support the national goal of controlling artemisinin-resistant malaria and ultimately eliminating malaria in Burma. This new investment will expand current coverage of community-based prevention and case management services from one million to three million people, giving priority to highly endemic and hard-to-reach areas, mobile and migrant populations, and Non-State Actor areas. &amp;#8220;Defeat Malaria&amp;#8221; will strengthen the capacity of local stakeholders, from national to peripheral level, to lead, manage and implement interventions to reduce the malaria burden towards the goal of elimination. This activity will also strengthen the malaria surveillance system to better inform response and control strategies, and promote the involvement of communities and the private sector in control initiatives.</Description>

        <Description>Note: Each funding opportunity description is a synopsis of information in the Federal Register application notice. For specific information about eligibility, please see the official application notice. The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free Internet access to the official edition of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available on GPO Access at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html. Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information. Purpose of Program: The purpose of this program is to ensure that parents of children with disabilities receive training and information to help improve results for their children. Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(iv) and (v), this priority is from allowable activities specified in the statute, or otherwise authorized in the statute (see sections 671 and 681(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)). Absolute Priority: For FY 2016 and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applications from this competition, this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only applications that meet this priority. This priority is: Community Parent Resource Centers. Background: The purpose of this priority is to fund 30 Community Parent Resource Centers (CPRCs) designed to meet the specific needs of parents of children with disabilities, and youth with disabilities, who experience significant isolation from available sources of information and support in the geographically defined communities served by the centers. These parents can include, for example, low-income parents, parents with limited English proficiency, and parents with disabilities. Youth can include, for example, youth living in low-income households and youth with limited English proficiency. More than 35 years of research and experience has demonstrated that the education of children with disabilities can be made more effective by strengthening the ability of parents to participate fully in the education of their children at school and at home (see section 601(c)(5)(B) of IDEA). Since the Department first funded CPRCs over 20 years ago, the CPRC program has helped parents in their communities set high expectations for children with disabilities and has provided parents with the information and training they need to help their children meet those expectations. Information about the Office of Special Education&amp;apos;s parent training and information program can be found at: www.parentcenterhub.org.

        <CategoryExplanation>The National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council seeks innovative (new, cutting-edge or builds upon existing studies) grant proposals for program development, study, and collaboration that will address strategies in the National Ten Year Urban Forestry Action Plan (2016-2026). This Request for Proposals is to address the following priority issues:  &amp;#8226; Developing a National Urban Forestry Funding Assessment and Methodology   &amp;#8226; Understand Urban Forest Ecosystem/Ecological Services   Detailed information about each category follows this section.  Proposals are to meet the request and intent of each applicable category.  Organizations, local governments, tribal agencies, and partnerships are encouraged to submit proposals that will demonstrate the reach, resources, and expertise needed to address the three priority issues in ways that will lead to meaningful, replicable results across the country.  Potential Innovation grantees are should work collaboratively with other organizations and entities not traditionally involved in urban and community forestry.  Applicants should consider multi-year projects and other sources of funds, which may include other Federal cooperative conservation sources.    While other Federal dollars or technical support may contribute to the project, they may not be used to match these Federal grant program dollars.  The grant review process takes about a year to review pre and full proposals once they are received.  Applicants should state their start and end date accordingly on their SF424.   Each category is separate.  Please do not merge more than one category content or intent into one proposal, which can result in disqualification of the proposal.  Applicants may submit separate pre-proposals for more than one category.     </CategoryExplanation>

        <Description>Fellowships support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources in the humanities. Projects may be at any stage of development. Applicants interested in research projects that require digital expression and digital publication are encouraged to apply for NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication. Through NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication, the National Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation jointly support individual scholars pursuing research projects that require digital expression and digital publication. To be eligible for this special opportunity, an applicant&amp;#8217;s plans for digital publication must be essential to the project&amp;#8217;s research goals. That is, the project must be conceived as digital because the nature of the research and the topics being addressed demand presentation beyond traditional print publication. Successful projects will likely incorporate visual, audio, and/or other multimedia materials or flexible reading pathways that could not be included in traditionally published books. </Description>

        <Description>The Fellowships for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan program is a joint activity of the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission (JUSFC) and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Awards support research on modern Japanese society and political economy, Japan&amp;apos;s international relations, and U.S.-Japan relations. The program encourages innovative research that puts these subjects in wider regional and global contexts and is comparative and contemporary in nature. Research should contribute to scholarly knowledge or to the general public&amp;#8217;s understanding of issues of concern to Japan and the United States. Appropriate disciplines for the research include anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, linguistics, political science, psychology, public administration, and sociology. Awards usually result in articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources. The fellowships are designed for researchers with advanced language skills whose research will require use of data, sources, and documents in their original languages or whose research requires interviews onsite in direct one-on-one contact. Fellows may undertake their projects in Japan, the United States, or both, and may include work in other countries for comparative purposes. Projects may be at any stage of development. </Description>

        <Description>The proposed agreement will fund important improvements and maintenance needs for operations at Millerton Lake State Recreation Area (MLSRA). Demolition, utility improvements and construction of Service Yard facilities will aid in better services and safer facilities for the visiting public and employees of MLSRA. Construction objectives include demolition of deteriorating and hazard buildings, Utility improvements, grade-work and ADA facilities, Service Building construction and construction of a Wash Pad for treatment of invasive Quagga Mussels. These objectives need to be met in order for the Recreation Area to adequately meet its planned improved operation for public use of the area. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT CDPR requests funding to provide for critical needs in facility and program support. CDPR has proposed facility improvements to the South Shore Maintenance Yard to replace aging infrastructure, meet compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) &amp;amp; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act for Accessible facilities Standards on Federal Land), and meet current health and safety standards. The funding will provide assistance in completing construction projects which will improve these facilities. The funds are designed to substantially complete 5 objectives in the South Shore Improvement project. The project will be managed and completed by CDPR with regular coordination and communication with Reclamation staff. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT No substantial involvement on the part of Reclamation is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. Regular communication and reporting oversight will be coordinated with CDPR. SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based the following criteria: (4) UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS Single Source Justification Description: Single source justification was used in this proposal because Millerton Lake State Recreation Area is operated through a Management Agreement between Reclamation and California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR). (Contract No. 12-LC-20-0152). That Agreement states that the &amp;#8220;Administration, Operation, Maintenance, and Development of Recreation uses and Facilities shall be managed by CDPR, for the term of the Agreement. CDPR operates and manages Reclamation land around Millerton Lake and adjacent to Friant Dam. All equipment and the Management structure necessary to operate MLSRA is provided on site by CDPR. CDPR has managed the Area for Reclamation since 1957, originally under Contract No. 14-06-200-6881. In April of 2010, Reclamation issued a Final Resource Management Plan (RMP)/Environmental Impact Statement. This document stated that &amp;#8216;Implementing the RMP management actions will be the primary responsibility of the managing partner&amp;#8221;. CDPR has been the Managing Partner since 1958 and has distinct and adequate background to continue in that capacity and to administer financial assistance when required. STATUTORY AUTHORITY The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is proposing to enter into this agreement on a sole source basis. This document, Notice of Intent, sets forth the justification: P.L. 89-72, Federal Water Project Recreation Act, July 9, 1965, Section 1, Section 3(b)(1), Section 3(c)(1). The following section, provided in full text, authorizes Reclamation to award this financial assistance agreement: P.L. 89-72, Federal Water Project Recreation Act, July 9, 1965. Section 1, Section 3(b)(1) and Section 3(c)(1). Sec. 1. Congressional policy&amp;#8212;It is the policy of the Congress and the intent of this Act that (a) in investigating and planning any Federal navigation, flood control, reclamation, hydroelectric, or multiple-purpose water resource project, full consideration shall be given to the opportunities, if any, which the project affords for outdoor recreation and for fish and wildlife enhancement and that, wherever any such project can reasonably serve either or both of these purposes consistently with the provisions of this Act, it shall be constructed, operated, and maintained accordingly: (b) planning with respect to the development of the recreation potential of any such project shall be based on the coordination of the recreational use of the project area with the use of existing and planned Federal, State, or local public recreation developments; and (c) project construction agencies shall encourage non-Federal public bodies to administer project land and water areas for recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement purposes and operate, maintain, and replace facilities provided for those purposes unless such areas or facilities are included or proposed for inclusion within a national recreation area, or are appropriate for administration by a Federal agency as a part of the national forest system, as part of the public lands classified for retention in Federal ownership, or in connection with an authorized Federal program for the conservation and development of fish and wildlife and Sec. 3 (b) (1) If non-Federal public-bodies execute an agreement after initial operation of the project (which agreement shall provide that the non-federal public bodies will administer project land and water areas for recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement or both pursuant to the plan for the development of the project approved by the head of the agency having administrative jurisdiction over it and will bear not less than one-half the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided for recreation, and will bear one-quarter of such costs for fish and wildlife enhancement, and not less than one-half the costs of planning studies, and the costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement attributable thereto) the remainder of the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be non-reimbursable. and Sec. 3(c) (1) Any recreation facility constructed under this Act may be expanded or modified if (A) the facility is inadequate to meet recreational demand: and (B) a non-Federal public body executes an agreement which provides that such public body- (i) will administer the expanded or modified facilities pursuant to a plan for development for the project that is approved by the agency with administrative jurisdiction over the project; and (ii) will bear not less then one-half of the planning and capital costs of such expansion or modification and no less than one-half of the costs of the operation, maintenance, and replacement attributable to the expansion of the facility. (2) The Federal share of the cost of expanding or modifying a recreational facility described in paragraph (1) may not exceed 50 percent of the total cost of expanding or modifying the facility. </Description>

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition based on Single Source Justification Criteria. OVERVIEW, RECIPIENT AND NPS SUBSTANTIAL INVOLVEMENT The Upper Mississippi River Basin Association (UMRBA) proposes to work with the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) to create state-of-the-art spill response planning tools for the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. The St. Croix is home to outstanding natural resources and provides for unique recreational opportunities. The function of the spill plan developed in this project will be to support timely and effective response on the Riverway. The anticipated process by which these tools are developed, proposed products, and a draft project timeframe and budget are described in the following paragraphs. UMRBA fully expects to work in collaboration with NPS in shaping both the trajectory of the project and its final products. As such, this proposal outlines anticipated activity which will be adjusted as needed during the life of the project. The UMRBA has played a key role in spill response planning and coordination through the Upper Mississippi River Hazardous Spills Coordination Group, and in its Spill Response Mapping and Planning activities. Since 1989, the UMRBA has provided staff support for the Upper Mississippi River Hazardous Spills Coordination Group (UMR Spills Group), which includes representatives of state and federal agencies who play a role in contingency planning and spill response on the river. The UMR Spills Group providing a forum for interagency coordination, serves as a voice for the region&amp;apos;s spill responders on various issues and helps in the preparation and execution of training activities. Among the Group&amp;apos;s accomplishments are development and maintenance of the Upper Mississippi River Spill Response Plan and Resource Manual, which has been adopted by the state and federal agency members of the UMR Spills Group. The UMR Plan is designed to complement broader regional and national contingency plans by addressing issues and concerns related specifically to spill response on the Upper Mississippi River. The Plan includes a resource manual which contains information about potential spill sources, vulnerable resources, and response assets. A. The Recipient agrees to: (UMRBA anticipates the following steps will be part of spill plan development, pending input from NPS) 1. Resource Inventory and Hazard Analysis UMRBA will review existing data, maps, and other information to determine where on the Riverway there are high value natural resources, potential spill sources, and -- most importantly &amp;#8211; where these two come together to produce areas of elevated relative risk. Where appropriate, GIS-based tools will be used to aid the inventory and analysis. The initial desktop analysis will be shared with NPS and other regional partners to gather their input and refine as needed. This resource inventory and hazard analysis will be utilized to help identify target areas for the development of more detailed geographically-focused spill response plans (see below). 2. Riverway-Wide Information Compilation Alongside the initial resource inventory and hazard analysis, UMRBA will compile information relevant throughout the Riverway beyond the areas targeted for detailed geographic response plan development. This may include county-by-county descriptions of response capacity, maps of sensitive resources, contact person/agency phone numbers, highway crossings, outfalls, and other information as determined necessary by NPS and other regional partners. 3. Detailed Geographic Response Plan Development Based on the initial resource inventory/hazard analysis, and participant feedback, UMRBA will facilitate the creation of detailed geographic response plans for targeted segments of the Riverway. We anticipate this will follow a process successfully employed elsewhere in the region. This process typically includes 1) a meeting of resource managers to confirm resources as risk in the target area, 2) a meeting of response professionals to confirm potential spill sources and develop initial recommendations for response strategies, and 3) a field day to test proposed response strategies. Depending on the scope of target areas identified, there may be multiple meeting series or just a single set. Further, we presume that in areas where response strategies have been developed in the past (i.e., between Taylors Fall and Marine on St. Croix, and between Afton State Park and Prescott), these pre-existing strategies will be modernized and incorporated into any new GRPs developed as part of this project. 4. Initial Action Plan Development For each of the target areas where strategies are developed under the GRP process described above, a template initial action plan (IAP) for the first operational period will be created and integrated into the GRP product. 5. Final Product Review and Assembly All of the materials described above will be assembled for review by NPS and other partners. Partner input will be utilized in the creation of final deliverables (as described in the next section). PROJECT DELIVERABLES The primary product anticipated from this project is a spill response plan for the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, delivered on digital media (DVD), which includes the following: &amp;#8226; Detailed maps depicting sensitive resources throughout the Riverway. &amp;#8226; Descriptions of local response capacity in each of the counties in the Riverway. &amp;#8226; A list of key contact persons/agencies/entities along the Riverway, along with a recommended notification protocol. &amp;#8226; Lists of key physical features (highway crossings, outfalls, etc.) along the Riverway. &amp;#8226; In identified target areas, detailed geographic response plans (GRPs) which include response strategies and incident action plans (IAPs). &amp;#8226; Other, pre-existing, spill response tools (e.g., inland tactics manual, habitat-specific fact sheets). &amp;#8226; Explore options for secure, online sharing of the spill response plan. NPS is substantially involved with this agreement and agrees to: &amp;#8226; Participate and collaborate jointly with the Recipient in carrying out the scope of work. &amp;#8226; To provide a NPS technical representative to assist with specifics of the project as needed. &amp;#8226; Review and approve one stage of work before the next stage can begin. &amp;#8226; Review and approve proposed modifications or sub-grants, prior to award. &amp;#8226; Direct or redirect the work because of interrelationships with other projects. &amp;#8226; Immediately halt an activity if detailed performance specifications are not met. &amp;#8226; Oversee Recipient discretion with respect to scope of work, organizational structure, staffing, mode of operations and other management processes, combined with close monitoring or operational involvement during performance under this Agreement. </Description>

        <Description>The Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), Agricultural Water Conservation and Efficiency Grants Fostering District/Farmer Partnerships, for a Grant Agreement(s) pursuant to the authority of Public Law 111-11 (42 USC 10364) Title IX of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Subtitle F, Secure Water, Section 9504 (a) Water Management Improvement. The objective of this Agricultural Water Conservation Efficiency (AWCE) FOA is to invite Indian Tribes, irrigation districts, water districts and other organizations with water or power delivery authority located in the state of California to leverage their money and resources by cost sharing with Reclamation on projects that save water, improve water management, create new supplies for agricultural irrigation, improve energy efficiency, and benefit endangered species. Water conservation and water use efficiency are critical elements of any plan to address these resource issues. Projects that achieve this by increasing the capability or success rate of on-farm water conservation or water use efficiency projects that can be undertaken by farmers and ranchers will be a high priority for this program, as reflected through the increased weighting of this category in 2016. Reclamation and the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) are encouraging water supplier/client farmer partnerships as an effective way to identify district/watershed/regional needs and opportunities. In coordination with NRCS, Reclamation will select applicants for funding under this FOA. Successful applicants will enter into a financial assistance agreement with Reclamation. NRCS will provide accelerated technical and financial assistance to farmers and ranchers in the project service area, through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) program: 1) for those successful FOA projects that include activities or elements that facilitate on-farm improvement, 2) where a number of farmers are likely to participate and 3) where EQIP applicants and projects meet EQIP program eligibility requirements. Period of Performance is a two year period from the date of issuance. BOR-MP-16-0003 was posted on the Grants.gov website, at www.grants.gov, on or about February 26, 2016.

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Strategic Approaches to Improving Access to Quality Health Care for Children and Youth with Epilepsy Program. The purpose of this program is to facilitate the delivery of quality health care for children and youth with epilepsy (CYE) by: 1) implementing evidence-based and innovative models of telehealth[1] and/or telemedicine[2] (including mobile health or mhealth[3]) using health information technologies[4]; 2) implementing the Got Transition Six Core Elements Framework[5] to help youth successfully transition[6] from the pediatric to adult system of health care; and (3) facilitating outreach and education regarding epilepsy among pertinent stakeholders. The goal of this initiative is to utilize quality improvement methods and measure outcomes to improve access to coordinated and comprehensive quality care for CYE, with an emphasis on populations experiencing health disparities[7] and CYE residing in underserved and/or rural communities.[8] [9] A minimum of 20 percent of the target population to be served through this funding opportunity must include populations experiencing health disparities7 and must be medically underserved. The target population can be within a state or a broad geographic region. Each applicant&amp;#8217;s project must reach a minimum of 1,000 CYE. All awardees will be responsible for convening quality improvement learning collaboratives focused on implementing technology and addressing youth transition by implementing the Got Transition Six Core Elements Framework. These collaboratives should test and implement effective strategies to improve access to specialty care and the quality of care received by the target population. Awardees will be expected to partner with CYE and their families, hospitals, federally qualified health centers, primary care physician&amp;#8217;s offices, rural health clinics, community health centers, specialty centers, epilepsy support and advocacy groups, and/or state provider organizations (e.g., American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, and Primary Care Organizations, state Title V Children with Special Health Care Needs and Medicaid/CHIP agencies.) A learning collaborative consists of a series of learning opportunities aimed at building accountable capacity for team-based testing and transformation.[10] Collaborative improvement networks use standardized quality improvement methods to translate evidence into practice, and support teams to test and implement changes in a reliable, sequenced way.[11] As an example that applicants may follow, the graphic below is an example of a learning collaborative framework from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Each awardee will be expected to recruit a minimum of seven clinical sites (e.g., hospitals, primary care practices, federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, and community health centers) to participate in learning collaboratives focused on technology and youth transition. Specifically, the awardee will coordinate and facilitate structured activities that will support the patient/family-centered medical home[12] for CYE and the value of incorporating technologies and youth transition infrastructure within the clinical sites. The clinical sites will be responsible for the following: 1) participating in the learning collaboratives; and 2) implementing telehealth and/or telemedicine (including mobile health, or mhealth) and youth transition activities using quality improvement methods. Awardees will be expected to share the progress of the learning collaboratives monthly through conference telephone calls with the Epilepsy Coordinating Center (ECC) and the MCHB Project Officer. Additionally, awardees must convene a quality improvement leadership team (a physician, program coordinator, and a CYE or/and a family member of a CYE must be included on the team) that will have the responsibility of planning, implementing, and facilitating the learning collaboratives&amp;#8217; activities, which will include at a minimum one in-person session for the clinical sites. Other responsibilities of the awardees include the following: Provide guidance to the clinical sites regarding quality improvement methods. Provide evidence-based guidance[13] to learning collaborative participants on the implementation and use of health information technology. Ensure learning collaborative participants have information on current pediatric epilepsy clinical guidelines and best practices, e.g., Got Transition Six Core Elements Framework, patient/family-centered medical home. Implement and update an evaluation plan annually. The plan should address: the extent to which the program-specific objectives have been met; evaluation of the project&amp;#8217;s goals and objectives; effectiveness of strategies implemented to address barriers/challenges; and data collection/monitoring/reporting pertaining to all project strategies. Create a change package[14] describing best practices for implementing telehealth/telemedicine/mhealth and youth transition. Include components of family engagement activities. Family engagement activities should be on a continuum when appropriate. The levels of engagement can be in direct care, organizational design and/or governance and policy making. The continuum of engagement can be in consultation, involvement and/or partnership and shared leadership. Each applicant should incorporate the appropriate family engagement activity that supports the chosen strategy. Clinical sites participating in learning collaboratives will be responsible for conducting the following activities: Participate in an epilepsy quality improvement learning collaborative on telehealth, telemedicine, and/or mobile health and pediatric to adult transition. Implement telehealth, telemedicine and/or mhealth technologies within the health care delivery system (e.g., hospitals, primary care practices federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, or/and community health centers) to assist in providing access to quality epilepsy care for CYE, particularly those experiencing health disparities and residing in rural and/or underserved communities. Implement and maintain an epilepsy pediatric to adult transition model based upon the Got Transition Six Core Elements Framework. All awardees must report on the following program-specific objectives: Outcome Objectives: By August 2019, increase by 25 percent the number of CYE in the target population who receive care through a patient/family-centered medical home.

[1] The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) defines telehealth as the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health, and health administration. [2] According to the American Telemedicine Association, telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient&amp;#8217;s clinical health status. Telemedicine includes a growing variety of applications and services using two-way video, email, smart phones, wireless tools and other forms of telecommunications technology. (http://www.americantelemed.org/about-telemedicine/what-is-telemedicine#.VsrcU_7VzIU ) [3] According to the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), mHealth is the delivery of healthcare services via mobile communication devices. (http://www.himss.org/ResourceLibrary/GenResourceDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=20221) [4] Health Information Technology (HIT) can be defined as the use of certified Electronic Health Records technology in a meaningful manner; ensuring that the certified EHR technology is connected in a manner, that provides for the electronic exchange of health information to improve the quality of care. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (http://www.cdc.gov/ehrmeaningfuluse/introduction.html). [5] http://www.gottransition.org/providers/index.cfm [6] www.gottransition.org . [7] HRSA defines health disparities as the differences in length and quality of life, and rates and severity of disease and disability because of social position, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, education, or other factors. (http://www.hrsa.gov/publichealth/ ) [8]The medically underserved population can be defined as a population with one or more of these attributes: a. A part of a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA); it may be a whole county or group of county or group of contiguous counties, a group of civil divisions or a group of urban census tracts to which residents have a shortage of primary care clinicians and/or mental health professionals; and b. An area that includes groups of persons who face economic, cultural or linguistic barriers to health care. (http://www.hrsa.gov/shortage/ ) [9] The Agency for Healthcare Research Quality defines coordinated care as care that is coordinated across all elements of the broader healthcare system whereas comprehensive care is defined as patients having the large majority their physical and mental health needs met.

Pediatrics. 2013;131 (suppl 4): S210&amp;#8211;S214 [12] As defined by the American College of Physicians, the Patient Centered Medical Home is a care delivery model whereby patient treatment is coordinated through their primary care physician to ensure they receive the necessary care when and where they need it, in a manner they can understand (https://www.acponline.org/node/293847).

        <Description>The FY 2016 Appropriations Act appropriated $500 million to be awarded by DOT for the TIGER Discretionary Grants program. The FY 2016 TIGER Discretionary Grants are for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure and are to be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. The Act also allows DOT to use a small portion of the $500 million for oversight and administration of grants. If this solicitation does not result in the award and obligation of all available funds, DOT may publish additional solicitations. The FY 2016 Appropriations Act specifies that TIGER Discretionary Grants may not be less than $5 million and not greater than $100 million, except that for projects located in rural areas the minimum TIGER Discretionary Grant size is $1 million. Pursuant to the FY 2016 Appropriations Act, no more than 20 percent of the funds made available for TIGER Discretionary Grants (or $100 million) may be awarded to projects in a single State. The FY 2016 Appropriations Act directs that not less than 20 percent of the funds provided for TIGER Discretionary Grants (or $100 million) shall be used for projects located in rural areas. Further, pursuant to the FY 2016 Appropriations Act, DOT must take measures to ensure an equitable geographic distribution of grant funds, an appropriate balance in addressing the needs of urban and rural areas, and investment in a variety of transportation modes. The FY 2016 Appropriations Act requires that FY 2016 TIGER funds are only available for obligation through September 30, 2019. No FY 2016 TIGER funds may be expended after September 30, 2024. As part of the review and selection process described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity, DOT will consider whether a project is ready to proceed with an obligation of grant funds from DOT within the statutory time provided. Under the FY 2016 Appropriations Act, no waiver is possible for these deadlines. The FY 2016 Appropriations Act allows for up to 20 percent of available funds (or $100 million) to be used by the Department to pay the subsidy and administrative costs for a project receiving credit assistance under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 1998 (&amp;#8220;TIFIA&amp;#8221;) program, if it would further the purposes of the TIGER Discretionary Grant program. Recipients of prior TIGER Discretionary Grants may apply for funding to support additional phases of a project awarded funds in earlier rounds of this program. However, to be competitive, the applicant should demonstrate the extent to which the previously funded project phase has been able to meet estimated project schedules and budget, as well as the ability to realize the benefits expected for the project. DOT expects that each TIGER Discretionary Grant will be administered by one of the relevant modal administrations, pursuant to a grant agreement between the TIGER Discretionary Grant recipient and the relevant modal administration.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Citizenship (OoC), within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is charged with promoting instruction and training on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. USCIS recognizes that naturalization is an important milestone in the civic integration of immigrants. Naturalization requirements, such as knowledge of English and of U.S. history and civics, encourage civic learning and build a strong foundation upon which immigrants can exercise their rights and responsibilities. Through preparing for naturalization, immigrants will gain the tools to become successful citizens&amp;#8212;ready to exercise their rights and meet their responsibilities as United States citizens. USCIS acknowledges the valuable role that local service provider community-based organizations play in immigrant communities. Due to the strong relationships these agencies often have with immigrants in the local area, these organizations can assist USCIS in its effort to reach underserved populations. The goal of the Citizenship Instruction grant is to provide support to community-based organizations in their efforts to establish new citizenship instruction programs or expand the quality and reach of existing citizenship instruction programs. Through this funding, USCIS will fund community-based organizations striving to professionalize and increase services to immigrants in the area of citizenship instruction. Verifiable experience in the provision of English as a Second Language (ESL) programming is required to qualify for this funding opportunity. Applicants are required to use existing expertise in ESL instruction to provide citizenship instruction. Applicants are required to include a copy of the citizenship curriculum and to provide the name of the corresponding textbook intended for use to guide the citizenship instruction throughout the program&amp;#8217;s period of performance. OoC reserves the right to suggest changes to curriculum and educational materials after reviewing the applicant&amp;#8217;s program during the negotiation period or the first quarter of the funding period. Grant recipients will be required to enroll at least 125 citizenship instruction students and provide a minimum of 40 hours of instruction to each student during the period of performance. DHS will consider applications that include the cost of Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) training for staff with the ultimate objective of obtaining BIA accreditation. The Citizenship Instruction grant addresses the following DHS mission as specified in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR): Mission 3: Enforce and Administer Our Immigration Laws Goal 3.1: Strengthen and Effectively Administer the Immigration System &amp;#8226; Promote lawful immigration; &amp;#8226; Effectively administer the immigration services system; and &amp;#8226; Promote the integration of lawful immigrants into American society.</Description>

        <Description>The US Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), is offering a funding opportunity to collect data and analyze data to assess how different sampling designs for quantifying salmon habitat influence understanding of habitat status. The first objective will be to collect continuous field data to quantify stream habitat quality and quantify using different sampling designs. The sampling designs should include a reach-based approach and a riverscape approach using a census of stream habitat. Data collection will be field based to estimate the amount of habitat and the habitat attributes critical to Pacific salmon (e.g., substrate). The continuous habitat data should then be used in simulation approaches to statistically quantify sampling efforts needed to accurately and precisely characterize stream habitat. Simulations will be conducted across habitat metrics and at different spatial scales including individual stream and basin.</Description>

        <Description>The USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, Gainesville, Florida, is offering a funding opportunity for research and monitoring of selected biological resources with Florida&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Nature Coast. The Nature Coast spans the Big Bend of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, ranging from Hernando to Wakulla Counties. The region contains one of North America&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s most pristine coastlines, with extensive seagrass meadows, coastal wetlands and forests, valuable recreational and commercial fisheries, and healthy wildlife populations including marine mammals (manatee, dolphin), diverse waterbirds, and sea turtles. The region also supports productive shellfish fisheries (shrimp, oyster) and a vibrant hard clam aquaculture industry valued at $40 million annually. Conservation and management of natural resources in the region is critical to continued growth. Recreational and commercial fisheries, aquaculture, and agriculture rely on adequate freshwater flows and clean water resources. The region also has significant acreages protected by state and federal ownership (refuges, wildlife management areas, and state parks). Results of the research will be used by scientists and managers to enhance understanding and further conservation goals within Florida&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s Nature Coast.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network[1] Coordination Center (ECCS CoIIN CC. The purpose of this program is to manage, coordinate, and execute a Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network (CoIIN) approach to assist the recipients of the ECCS Impact grant funding (HRSA 16-047) goals of reducing health disparities by enhancing early childhood (EC) systems building and coordination, and demonstrating improved outcomes in population-based children&amp;#8217;s developmental health[2] and family well-being[3] indicators during the project period of this cooperative agreement.. The ECCS CoIIN CC will guide and facilitate three successive 18-month CoIIN cohorts[4] consisting of one to five (1 to 5) place-based communities[5] per participating ECCS Impact recipient utilizing CoIIN approaches and collective impact[6] principles to accelerate or improve results for families. The ECCS CoIIN CC will provide intensive, targeted assistance to the ECCS Impact recipients for use in providing support to their identified place-based communities. The ECCS Impact award competition is being announced through the HRSA funding opportunity HRSA-16-047 Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Impact (ECCS Impact). See Appendix A &amp;#8211; Glossary of Terms for key definitions. See Appendix B for a visual model of the working relationship between the ECCS CoIIN CC and the ECCS Impact recipients.

        <AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>Eligibility is restricted to domestic nonprofit, community-based organizations, tribes and tribal organizations.  For example:    &amp;#8226; Community- and faith-based organizations;   &amp;#8226; Federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes and tribal organizations;   &amp;#8226; Urban Indian organizations;   &amp;#8226; Hospitals;   &amp;#8226; Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and FQHC look-a-likes, and;   &amp;#8226; Public or private universities and colleges.   Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities.  Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval.    SAMHSA believes that in order to achieve the goals of this program to enhance infrastructure and capacity to improve the community&amp;apos;s response to HIV/AIDS by increasing access to care and services to high risk women including African American, Hispanic/Latina and other racial/ethnic minority women at high risk for or living with HIV/AIDS, grant funds must go directly to community-based organizations, tribes and tribal organizations, and other eligible applicants listed above.  Locally-based organizations operating and providing services in areas traditionally underserved by governmental services have a proven track record of reaching minority populations and dealing with sensitive identity issues, such as HIV status and perceived sexual orientation. Local organizations are also more likely to be managed by minorities living in the areas that have been targeted for this funding announcement. These organizations will be more predisposed to employ community residents and be staffed by peers of the clients seeking services. In addition, local organizations will have more representation on their Board of Directors and Community Advisory Councils of community leaders, both private and public. Therefore, state and local governments are not eligible to apply.    Current SAMHSA-funded TCE-HIV grantees awarded under the FY 2015 TCE-HIV: High Risk Populations program (TI-15-006) are not eligible to apply. </AdditionalInformationOnEligibility>

        <Description>This program will investigate the base of the Selawik River basin aquatic foodweb, and link it to the anticipated increase in terrestrial inputs of carbon and nitrogen to the aquatic ecosystem as a result of climate change. The main objectives are: 1) assess the quality and quantity of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (DOC), organic and inorganic nitrogen, and phosphorus released with increased soil thaw depth during spring and early summer, and its entry to the aquatic ecosystem; 2) quantify change in aquatic microbial, mainly bacterial, respiration and production rates with change in DOC quality and quantity; and 3) examine how change in terrestrial DOC and nitrogen inputs to the aquatic ecosystem might alter the rate of phytoplankton primary production, the community composition, and energy (lipid) content</Description>

The following changes have been made in Section IV.2. The Project Description: - Language related to the three evaluations expected in the project has been updated (in Section V.1. Criteria as well). The following change has been made in Section VIII. HHS Awarding Agency Contact(s): - The Program Office Contact has been changed to Jan Shafer. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to award one cooperative agreement to develop a state-of-the-art foster/adoptive parent training program to include intensive preparation and development of culturally appropriate, trauma informed components that reflect the capacities required of successful foster, adoptive, guardianship, and kinship parents (referred to in the remaining document collectively as resource parents) to successfully work with older youth who have moderate to serious behavior health challenges who require intensive and coordinated services and who may be at risk for more restrictive placements. This curriculum and training program will not replace a traditional resource parent training curriculum, but build specialized knowledge and skills so that the resource parent becomes one of the critical change agents in the older youth&amp;#8217;s treatment plan. Development of this program would include thorough research on the characteristics of resource families that have been successful in providing placement stability and enhancing the well-being of older youth. This is intended to be a product that could be utilized by all states, tribes, tribal consortia, and territories and consistently applied wherever implemented. The training program would be inclusive of development, training, and capacity needs of resource parents that are interested in becoming foster parents, those interested fostering with the intention to eventually adopt, or to become legal guardians to older youth There is consensus across multiple stakeholders that most children and youth are best served in a family setting. Resource parents play a critical role in treatment interventions to older youth with specialized needs as they are available to the young person at all times for support, treatment intervention, crisis stabilization, and connection to the community and school. In the effort to maintain older youth in family settings and engaged productively in their communities, resource parents must have advanced knowledge and skills. The project period for this cooperative agreement is 3 years with three 12-month budget periods. CB anticipates that the funding level will be up to $750,000 per year.</Description>

        <Description>Amendment 000001 to DE-FOA-0001447. To view the changes associated with this amendment, please refer to the EERE Exchange website. The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is issuing, on behalf of the Vehicle Technologies Office, this FOA entitled Advanced Systems Level Technology Development, Integration and Demonstration for Efficient Class 8 Trucks, SuperTruck II The SuperTruck initiative seeks to reduce transportation fuel consumption by improving on-road truck fuel economy. SuperTruck I focused exclusively on long-haul Class 8 trucks and achieved freight efficiency improvements in excess of the 50 percent goal, on a ton-mile-per gallon basis, with many of the technologies ready for commercialization or nearing commercial readiness. SuperTruck I also identified additional opportunities for commercial truck efficiency improvements. For this reason, SuperTruck II includes more aggressive overall freight efficiency and engine brake thermal efficiency goals &amp;#8211; specifically, a greater than 100 percent freight efficiency goal and greater than or equal to 55 percent engine brake thermal efficiency goal. In addition, SuperTruck II also requires demonstration of the same or improved vehicle performance, acceleration and gradeability, relative to a 2009 baseline and includes cost requirements to provide a shorter payback period for the fleet customer, which is needed to foster a more rapid market adoption of new energy efficient technologies. There is an opportunity for teams to consider Class 8 truck applications beyond long-haul as well. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE Exchange website. </Description>

        <Description>The intent of the Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are:Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome.Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be small- to large-scale projects, at different stages of idea and research development. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement. Two additional funding levels, Funding Levels 1 and 2, are available under a different Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity (W81XWH-16-BCRP-BREAKTHROUGH_FL12). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed. The funding level should be selected based on the scope of the research project, rather than the amount of the budget.The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level:&amp;#8226; Funding Level 3: Advanced translational studies that have potential for near-term clinical investigation. Small-scale clinical trials may apply.&amp;#8226; Funding Level 4: Large-scale projects that will transform and revolutionize the clinical management and/or prevention of breast cancer. Near-term clinical impact is expected. PIs are expected to have experience in successfully leading large-scale projects.Note: An invited oral presentation is a requirement for application review of Funding Level 4 projects, as described in Section II.C., Full Application Submission Content and Forms.Partnering PI Option: The Breakthrough Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate two PIs, referred to as the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI, each of whom will each receive a separate award. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work (SOW), and other required components. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each PI is expected to bring distinct contributions to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the PIs to describe how their combined expertise will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts. To meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option, applicants are discouraged from submitting as a Partnering PI on multiple applications unless they are clearly addressing distinct research questions. Applications submitted by a mentor and his/her current postdoctoral fellow or junior investigator as Initiating and Partnering PIs do not meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option.</Description>

The Breakthrough Fellowship Award supports recent doctoral or medical graduates in pursuit of innovative, high-impact breast cancer research during their postdoctoral fellowship and allows them to obtain the necessary experience for an independent career at the forefront of breast cancer research. Those individuals should be exceptionally talented researchers who have demonstrated that they are the &amp;#8220;best and brightest&amp;#8221; of their peers. Applicants for this award must exhibit a strong desire to pursue a career in breast cancer research, with clear evidence for a researcher development plan that will lead to a successful independent career in breast cancer. Applicants must also demonstrate that the proposed research has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Fellowship Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Principal Investigator (PI): Under this award mechanism, the postdoctoral fellow is considered the PI and, as such, should write the project narrative, researcher development plan, and other application components with appropriate guidance from the mentor. While the PI is not required to have previous experience in breast cancer research, the proposed project and researcher development plan must focus on breast cancer. Applications must emphasize the PI&amp;#8217;s high potential for success in becoming an independent breast cancer researcher based on his/her qualifications, achievements (including first-author publications), and letters of recommendation. Mentor: The mentor (or co-mentor, if applicable) must possess the appropriate expertise and experience in breast cancer, to include recent publications and active peer reviewed breast cancer funding, and clearly demonstrate a commitment to guiding the PI&amp;#8217;s research and development as a researcher. If the mentor is not an experienced breast cancer researcher, then formal co-mentorship by an established breast cancer researcher is required. The application must include information about the mentor&amp;#8217;s experience in conducting innovative research and how he/she intends to support the PI&amp;#8217;s endeavors in breast cancer. Mentorship by an investigator without an established record of mentoring pre- and/or postdoctoral trainees may be offset by the overall strength of the researcher development plan. Researcher Development Plan: Applications must provide details on the suitability of the PI&amp;#8217;s overall researcher development plan and research project for attaining the goals of this award mechanism. The project should be based on a sound scientific rationale and/or a thorough review of the literature. Preliminary data are allowed, but not required. Applications must elaborate on the qualities of the research environment in which the candidate will work, provide details on the individualized breast cancer-focused researcher development plan, and describe how it will facilitate the PI&amp;#8217;s career development as an independent, innovative breast cancer researcher. A multidisciplinary research approach to breast cancer is highly encouraged, but not required; however, if there are multidisciplinary aspects, they should be clearly outlined in the application.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH16ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of specialized science experimental hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals, depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information.

        <Description>The intent of the Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be small- to large-scale projects, at different stages of idea and research development. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available under this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Two additional funding levels, Funding Levels 3 and 4, are available under a different Program Announcement /Funding Opportunity (W81XWH-16-BCRP-BREAKTHROUGH_FL34). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed. The funding level should be selected based on the scope of the research project, rather than the amount of the budget. The following are general descriptions, although not all-inclusive, of the scope of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under each funding level: &amp;#8226; Funding Level 1: Innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that is in the earliest stages of idea development. Research with potential to yield new avenues of investigation. Proof of concept. No preliminary data required. &amp;#8226; Funding Level 2: Research that is already supported by preliminary data and has potential to make significant advancements toward clinical translation. Partnering PI Option: The Breakthrough Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. The Partnering PI Option is structured to accommodate two PIs, referred to as the Initiating PI and the Partnering PI, each of whom will receive a separate award. The Initiating and Partnering PIs have different submission requirements; however, both PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work (SOW), and other required components. The PIs may have expertise in similar or disparate scientific disciplines, but each PI is expected to bring distinct contributions to the application. New collaborations are encouraged, but not required. It is the responsibility of the PIs to describe how their combined expertise will better address the research question and explain why the work should be done together rather than through separate efforts. To meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option, applicants are discouraged from submitting as a Partnering PI on multiple applications unless they are clearly addressing distinct research questions. Applications submitted by a mentor and his/her current postdoctoral fellow or junior investigator as Initiating and Partnering PIs do not meet the intent of the Partnering PI Option.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH16ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of specialized science experimental hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals, depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2017, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned.

        <Description>By congressional mandate, the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agency in the executive branch, provides general operating support grants to 56 state and jurisdictional humanities councils. Federal/State Partnership is the NEH office designated to work with the councils. The councils are Federal/State Partnership&amp;#8217;s sole grantees. Federal/State Partnership is a collaborative effort that links a national federal agency with the state and jurisdictional humanities councils. It helps the National Endowment for the Humanities realize its two primary strategic goals of advancing knowledge and understanding of the humanities and increasing public awareness of, access to, and support for the humanities in the United States. State humanities councils make humanities education and lifelong learning readily available at the local level, uniquely tailored to local interests and needs and drawing upon local resources and experiences. NEH and the Office of Federal/State Partnership use General Operating Support grants as the primary means of funding the 56 state and jurisdictional humanities councils. NEH awards General Operating Support grants for five-year periods&amp;#8212;three years in which the grants provide funding, plus two subsequent years to close out the grants. General Operating Support Grant award amounts are amended each year to reflect the current year&amp;#8217;s budget, provided that funds are available. NEH determines funding for each state and jurisdictional council according to a legislatively mandated formula. </Description>

        <Description>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters has released a solicitation, entitled Space Technology Research Opportunities for Early Career Faculty (STRO-ECF), on March 8, 2012. The solicitation is available by opening the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ selecting &amp;quot;Solicitations,&amp;quot; then selecting &amp;quot;Open Solicitations,&amp;quot; and, finally, selecting &amp;quot;Space Technology Research Opportunities For Early Career Faculty (STRO-ECF).&amp;quot; NASA&amp;#146;s Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT) and the Space Technology Research Grants Program, in particular, seek proposals from accredited U.S. universities on behalf of faculty members beginning their independent careers. This solicitation is focused on supporting outstanding faculty researchers early in their careers as they conduct space technology research of high priority to NASA&amp;#146;s Mission Directorates and OCT. NASA is seeking proposals that plan to pursue innovative, early-stage space technology research in the topic areas specifically enumerated in the solicitation. Our Nation&amp;#146;s universities couple fundamental research with education, encouraging a culture of innovation based on the discovery of knowledge. Universities are, therefore, ideally positioned to both conduct fundamental space technology research and diffuse newly-found knowledge into society at large through graduate students and industrial, government and other partnerships. OCT investments in space technology research at U.S. academic institutions will promote the continued leadership of our universities as an international symbol of the country&amp;apos;s scientific innovation, engineering creativity, and technological skill, and serve as a critical component supporting our Nation&amp;apos;s scientific and mathematics literacy. Only accredited U.S. universities are eligible to submit proposals on behalf of their outstanding new faculty members who intend to develop academic careers related to space technology. The proposed research project must be led by a single, eligible Principal Investigator (PI). The PI must be a recent Ph.D. recipient, defined as having graduated on or after January 1 of the year that is no more than seven years before the issuance date of this STRO-ECF NRA (i.e., after January 1, 2005). The PI must be an untenured Assistant Professor on the tenure track at the sponsoring U.S. university at the time of award. The PI must be a U.S. citizen or have lawful status of permanent residency (i.e., holder of a U.S. Permanent Resident Card, also referred to as a Green Card). A PI may submit only one proposal in response to this solicitation. The PI may not be a current or former recipient of a Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) award. The PI must be the primary researcher on the effort. Co-Investigators are not permitted. Collaborators are permitted. NASA encourages submission of STRO-ECF proposals on behalf of early career faculty members at all institutions and especially encourages women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply. The financial and programmatic support for STRO-ECF comes from the Space Technology Program within the Office of the Chief Technologist. Awards are planned to start in fall 2012. NASA plans to make approximately 10 awards as a result of this STRO-ECF solicitation, subject to the receipt of meritorious proposals. The actual number of awards will depend on the quality of the proposals received; NASA reserves the right to make no awards under this solicitation. All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) by an authorized organizational representative. Notices of Intent (not mandatory) are due by March 30, 2012. Proposals are due on or before May 3, 2012. Detailed submission instructions are provided in the solicitation. Potential proposers and their proposing organizations are urged to familiarize themselves with the submission system(s), ensure they are registered in NSPIRES, and submit the required proposal materials well in advance of the deadline. Technical and programmatic comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to the Space Technology Research Grants Program Executive, Claudia Meyer, at hq-stro-ecf-call@mail.nasa.gov. Procurement questions may be addressed by e-mail to the procurement point of contact on this solicitation, Melissa Merrill, at hq-stro-ecf-call@mail.nasa.gov. Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and may also included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. </Description>

        <Description>The Therapeutic Idea Award is designed to promote new ideas aimed at drug or treatment discovery that are still in the early stages of development. Development, modification, and/or validation of preclinical model systems or the application of high-throughput screens to define or assess lead compounds for ALS treatment are of interest. Parallel development of methods to measure either target binding or proximal downstream effects (target engagement) and the potential for undesirable activities at related but unintended targets (selectivity) are encouraged. All proposed research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale that holds translational potential to improve ALS treatment and/or advance a novel treatment modality. Projects that focus primarily on investigating the pathophysiology of ALS are outside the scope of this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Applicants seeking support for the development of products beyond drug or treatment discovery should consider the FY16 ALSRP Therapeutic Development Award (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-16-ALSRP-TDA), which supports advanced preclinical development activities. Innovation and impact are important aspects of the Therapeutic Idea Award. Research deemed innovative may introduce a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, introduce novel concepts or technologies, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities that may lead to potential therapeutics for ALS. Research must also have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward treatment for ALS. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making a clinical impact for individuals with, or at risk for, ALS, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Presentation of preliminary data is not consistent with the intent of the Therapeutic Idea Award mechanism. While the inclusion of preliminary data is not DoD FY16 ALSRP Therapeutic Idea Award 4 prohibited, the strength of the application should not rely on preliminary data, but on the innovative idea and the potential impact it will provide. The Therapeutic Idea Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators. As appropriate, applicants are encouraged to collaborate with industry partners and/or established ALS researchers.</Description>

        <Description>This ROSES NRA (NNH16ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASA&amp;#8217;s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of specialized science experimental hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals, depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2017, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://nasascience.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2016/ Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2016 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/. Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

        <Description>The BCRP Distinguished Investigator Award enables established visionary leaders from any field to pursue innovative ideas that could accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. These individuals should be exceptionally talented researchers who have shown that they are leaders in their field(s) through extraordinary creativity, vision, and productivity. The Principal Investigator (PI) is expected to have a renowned reputation as a researcher who has made groundbreaking contributions to advancing his/her field. He/she should have demonstrated success at forming and leading effective partnerships and collaborations. Through his/her distinguished record of research and leadership, the PI should demonstrate the potential to make unique and significant advances in breast cancer. The central feature of the Distinguished Investigator Award is that the PI must propose research that is a fundamental shift from his/her track record of research and addresses one or more BCRP overarching challenge(s). Proposals that are a continuation or incremental change from the PI&amp;#8217;s published line of research do not meet the intent of this award. High-risk/high-reward proposals with limited preliminary data are welcomed, but not required. All applications must include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Experience in breast cancer research is not required; however, the application must focus on breast cancer. Individuals from other disciplines who will apply novel concepts to breast cancer are encouraged to submit. The PI is expected to assemble a research team that will provide the necessary expertise and collaborative efforts toward accomplishing the research goals. If the PI does not have experience in breast cancer, inclusion of at least one collaborator with breast cancer expertise on the research team is required. The PI&amp;#8217;s research team must also include two or more breast cancer consumer advocates. As lay representatives, the consumer advocates must be individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are actively involved in a breast cancer advocacy organization. Their role should be independent of their employment, and they cannot be employees of any of the organizations participating in the application. The consumer advocates should have a high level of knowledge of current breast cancer issues and the necessary background or training in breast cancer research to contribute to the project. Their role should be focused on providing objective input on the research and its potential impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer.</Description>

        <Description>The Era of Hope Scholar Award supports individuals early in their careers who have demonstrated significant potential to effect meaningful change in breast cancer. These individuals should be exceptionally talented scientists who have shown that they are the &amp;#8220;best and brightest&amp;#8221; in their field(s) through extraordinary creativity, vision, leadership, innovation, and productivity. They should have demonstrated experience in forming effective partnerships and collaborations and should exhibit strong potential for future leadership in the breast cancer research community. As the intent of the Era of Hope Scholar Award is to recognize creative and innovative individuals rather than projects, the central features of the award are the applicant&amp;#8217;s demonstrated ability to go beyond conventional thinking in their field and the innovative contribution that the Principal Investigator (PI) can make toward ending breast cancer. The PI should articulate a vision that challenges current dogma and demonstrates an ability to look beyond tradition and convention. Experience in breast cancer research is not required; however, the application must focus on breast cancer, and the PI must maintain a 50% dedication of his/her full-time professional effort during the award period to breast cancer research. This professional effort in breast cancer research can be through a combination of this award and other current support. Individuals from other disciplines who will apply novel concepts to breast cancer are encouraged to submit. The PI is expected to assemble a research team that will provide the necessary expertise and collaborative efforts toward accomplishing the research goals. The PI&amp;#8217;s research team must include two or more breast cancer consumer advocates. As lay representatives, the consumer advocates must be individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are actively involved in a breast cancer advocacy organization.

        <Description>The Innovator Award supports visionary individuals who have demonstrated exceptional creativity, innovative work, and paradigm-shifting leadership in any field including, but not limited to, breast cancer. The Innovator Award will provide these individuals with the funding and freedom to pursue their most novel, visionary, high-risk ideas that could accelerate progress to ending breast cancer. Because the intent of the Innovator Award mechanism is to recognize these remarkably creative and innovative, visionary individuals rather than projects, the central feature of the award is the innovative contribution that the Principal Investigator (PI) can make toward ending breast cancer. The PI should have a record of challenging the status quo, shifting paradigms by changing a field of research or approach to patient care, exhibiting high levels of creativity, and demonstrating promise for continued innovation in future work. These rare individuals will be able to articulate a vision for ending breast cancer that challenges current dogma and demonstrates an ability to look beyond tradition and convention. The PI is also expected to be established in his/her field and have demonstrated success at forming and leading effective partnerships and collaborations. To further the development of innovative individuals and spark the generation of novel ideas, applications are required to incorporate the mentoring of promising junior investigators. Experience in breast cancer research is not required; however, the application must focus on breast cancer, and the PI must maintain a 50% dedication of his/her full-time professional effort during the award period to breast cancer research. This professional effort in breast cancer research can be through a combination of this award and other current support. Individuals from other disciplines who will apply novel concepts to breast cancer are encouraged to submit. The PI is expected to assemble a research team that will provide the necessary expertise and collaborative efforts toward accomplishing the research goals. The PI&amp;#8217;s research team must include two or more breast cancer consumer advocates. As lay representatives, the consumer advocates must be individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are actively involved in a breast cancer advocacy organization. Their role should be independent of their employment, and they cannot be employees of any of the organizations participating in the application. The consumer advocates should have a high level of knowledge of current breast cancer issues and the necessary background or training in breast cancer research to contribute to the project. Their role should be focused on providing objective input on the research and its potential impact for individuals with, or at risk for, breast cancer.</Description>

        <Description>This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P16AS00058 Project Title Seabirds as Indicators Recipient Alaska SeaLife Center Total Anticipated Award Amount 170,618.00 Cost Share 0.00 Anticipated Length of Agreement 3 years Anticipated Period of Performance 5/1/2014-9/30/2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Ecosystem Study Unit (CESU) Task Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Continuation Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro 907-644-3315 OVERVIEW Seabirds are a prominent constituent of the coastal ecosystem throughout Alaska. They have been considered valuable indicators of changes in coastal ecosystem processes because of their visibility, position within the food chain, diversity of life histories, and accessibility during the breeding season (e.g. Frederiksen et al. 2004, Piatt et al. 2007, Parsons et al. 2008, Einoder 2009). The diversity of marine birds represents a broad variety of foraging strategies and guilds, offering researchers opportunities to select study species that can be used as proxies or indicators of different food web and ecosystem components. Many of the seabird prey species are susceptible to changes in oceanographic conditions, including climate change and ocean acidification, and birds themselves are food for a large number of predators. Many seabird species are also susceptible to human disturbance, in particular oil spills, because they spend large amount of time at the surface of the ocean, in near shore waters or the intertidal zone, and forage on food items potentially susceptible to contamination. Many seabirds breed in colonies, which tie them to very specific habitats and locations during the breeding season, and disturbances and impacts at or near those breeding colonies can have a disproportionate impact on the seabird populations, and the ecosystem as a whole. Furthermore, their annual life history with migration between the marine and terrestrial breeding habitat positions seabirds as a linkage between the marine and terrestrial systems. Due to their biology and ecology, seabirds have potential to serve as informative sentinels and indicators of marine food webs and health of the marine environment, including climate change impacts on coastal marine ecosystems. As potential stressors to a system such as climate change, invasive species and other anthropogenic factors increase, understanding how a species or community is responding to those changes through changes in productivity and distribution is informative for resource managers trying to assess park or regional resources and appropriate management actions. With the exception of Sitka NHP, all the coastal national park units in Alaska have seabird habitat, and seabirds play a role in their coastal ecological processes. Bering Land Bridge, Glacier Bay, Kenai Fjords, Lake Clark and Wrangell-St. Elias specifically mention marine or migratory birds as resources worth protecting in their enabling legislations. Some parks support threatened and at-risk species for parts of their annual cycle, for example the Steller&amp;apos;s eider (Polysticta stelleri). Our goal with the current seabird work conducted at the ASLC is to make it applicable to all the coastal parks. Many of the species in this research cross boundaries with multiple park units and occur in areas managed by other agencies. For example, some of our work is conducted on Common Murres ( Uria aalge) on Barwell Island, which is part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. Cape Resurrection, another study site for Black&amp;#194; Legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla), belongs to the state. The coastal surveys cover the shoreline of Resurrection Bay and gather information from taxonomically diverse spectrum of marine birds, offering an opportunity to learn about factors affecting marine bird abundance in coastal marine habitats similar to many parks. In summary, the ultimate goal of our research is to evaluate marine birds as indicators of coastal ecosystem condition and change, applicable to a broader network of ocean parks and partner agencies. The results are useful to park resource managers making management decisions concerning not only birds but other marine life. This goal is complimentary to the NPS Inventory and Monitoring program (SWAN) which conducts complimentary work with the goal of detecting changes in seabirds that may occur within the nearshore environment over the next century and determine causes for the observed changes. In 2012 both the ASLC and SWAN became partners in a larger, integrated, ecosystem based monitoring program called the Gulf Watch Alaska Program. The Gulf Watch Alaska program spans an area from Prince William Sound to the KATM coast and includes the KEFJ coastline and Kachemak Bay. One of the key objectives of the program is to determine population abundance and assess population trends of marine birds in these areas. Our project is closely coordinated with and complementary to the broader Gulf Watch Alaska program. The NPS and other agencies possess data collected from Prince William Sound, Kenai Fjords and Katmai, but the data are collected on an annual basis and span a large geographic range. The ASLC uses the same methods, but collects data monthly and on the much smaller spatial scale of Resurrection Bay. Furthermore, our more intensive surveys therefore provide a means to assess the strength of NPS and other Gulf Watch surveys to detect changes in bird populations. In addition, because our surveys are conducted monthly, our data contain a seasonal component other data cannot evaluate. Along with our partners we suspect that several sea duck species are relying on coastal park resources to a great degree in the winter time, when very little data are collected in the parks. Our data will be shared with the parks and other agencies according!y. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN This research is conducted in the Resurrection Bay/Kenai Fjords area to complement seabird monitoring conducted in the Kenai Fjords region, Prince William Sound, and other coastal areas relevant to NPS. We have two main objectives. 1. Productivity of selected seabird indicator species in the Kenai Fjords area We will assess annual productivity in selected seabird species (Black-legged Kittiwakes and Common Murres) representing different life history and foraging strategies to establish baseline variability and determine interannual trends inproductivity. Our first goal is to develop and refine remote sensing technique for use to monitor and study seabird colonies in coastal parks. Our ultimate goal is to link annual productivity to environmental variability, and to evaluate its use as an indicator of environmental conditions in the coastal marine environment. This work is currently conducted using video cameras and remote sensing equipment installed on Barwell Island (monitoring of Common Murres) and Cape Resurrection (monitoring of Black-legged Kittiwakes). At Barwell, we aim to monitor 30-60 nests annually. We monitor incubation/brooding behaviors, and calculate productivity as numbers of fledglings per egg laid according to Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge protocols. At Cape Resurrection, we monitor a sub-colony of kittiwakes on 17 randomly chosen plots and a total of 149 nests. We monitor presence of adults/chicks, incubation/brooding behaviors, and nest presence. Productivity will be calculated as number of fledglings produced per nest attempt based on methods used in other studies on Pacific kittiwakes (for example, see Hatch 2013). Physical and environmental variables are collected using a combination of video observation, on-site still images, and on-line databases (NOAA, GAKl). Climate data has been obtained from online databases provided by NOAA, the long term time series GAKl, and a local weather station installed in 2014. Climate data obtained from NOAA comes from the Seward Airport and NOAA buoy station 46076, located in open water in the Gulf of Alaska. The Seward Airport reports air temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and precipitation. Buoy 46076 reports air temperature, sea surface tempeqtture, wave height and amplitude, wind speed and direction, and. barometric pressure. The GAKl, located 1lkm from the colony, records water column salinity and temperature on a monthly basis using a CTD (conductivity-temperature&amp;#194; depth) (Weingartner et al. 2013). Work is in progress to integrate kittiwake productivity data with environmental variables. For murres, we plan to summarize preliminary baseline data on productivity and provide recommendations for protocols and feasibility after the 2016 season. Results from this study will contribute to a Master of Science thesis, is presented at scientific conferences, and will be published inpeer-reviewed journals after data collection and analysis is complete. 2. Seasonal nearshore habitat use and trends of marine birds in the Resurrection Bay We will evaluate marine bird use of coastal marine habitats in the Resurrection Bay area using vessel based surveys to document trends and habitat use of marine birds. We conduct vessel based surveys along a transect at 100 m off shore using two observers and a data logger, and record all birds 100 meters to each side and above the boat. Surveys are conducted parallel to shore and transversely across Resurrection Bay once a month for up to 12 months a year. Data collected included: species, count, sex/age when feasible (sea ducks), age when feasible (alcids), weather conditions (cloud cover,.sea state on Beaufort scale, wind speed and direction, precipitation), and identification of primary and secondary observers. We will characterize seasonal and annual trends, link bird distributions with habitat characteristics from ShoreZone mapping data and identify habitat &amp;apos;hot spots&amp;apos;. We will also aim to evaluate bird distribution in relation to seasonal events such as herring spawn in coastal marine environments. Finally, we will conduct double observer and repeat observation surveys in conjunction with NPS staff to calibrate our methods and to assist NPS with method validation for their broader scale coastal surveys. This work represents the 4th year of a 5 year study to evaluate annual variability and interannual trends in marine bird abundance and distribution, with 5 year data series complete in 2016. We will use these baselines to develop a long term ecological study focusing on the health of the nearshore intertidal and benthic system, linking invertebrate community health with marine bird indicator studies. We will need 2 more years of baseline survey data to accomplish this. Upon completion, results from this work will be available for use in park documents such as resource strategies, vulnerability assessments, State of the Park reports, monitoring designs and other planning documents and projects. Results will also be presented at scientific conferences and in a manuscript submitted to a peer-reviewed journal after data collection and analysis is complete.

        <Description>The Therapeutic Development Award supports a wide range of development activities ranging from validation of therapeutic leads to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Investigational New Drug (IND) submission. The proposed studies are expected to be empirical in nature and product-driven. Applications supported by this award must begin with lead compounds in hand. Examples of activities that will be supported by this award include: &amp;#8226; Secondary validation of lead compounds obtained from screening or by other means to demonstrate target selectivity and mechanism of action, &amp;#8226; Optimization of potency and pharmacological properties, development of structure-activity maps via synthesis, and testing of derivatives and sister compounds, &amp;#8226; Studies on formulation and stability, &amp;#8226; Development of GMP production methods, &amp;#8226; Collection of data for FDA IND applications, to include compound characterization, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies, and dose/response and toxicology studies. In parallel with lead compound validation and development, applicants are strongly encouraged to assess in vivo efficacy or target engagement (measurement of target binding or proximal downstream effects) in a relevant preclinical ALS model(s). Applications must include preliminary data and other supporting information relevant to the phase(s) of the preclinical development, such as the following: &amp;#8226; Background data supporting the putative mechanism of action as a viable therapeutic approach An identified bioactive compound or limited group of identified lead molecules with: &amp;#9675; Proof of identity and purity &amp;#9675; Selectivity for the intended target over closely related targets (when the target is known) &amp;#8226; Availability of primary and secondary in vitro bioactivity assays for optimization or structure-activity relationship studies &amp;#8226; Availability of appropriate preclinical animal models of ALS to assess in vivo efficacy or desirable mechanism-specific drug activity at the intended target (target engagement) Investigators interested in basic research focused on ALS drug discovery are encouraged to apply for the FY16 ALSRP Therapeutic Idea Award (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-16-ALSRP-TIA), which does not require preliminary data (http://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/alsrp.shtml). Collaborations: The preclinical drug development process may require resources beyond those available at single institutions. Collaborations with other research institutions and partnerships with biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry partnerships are encouraged. Biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies intending to apply for the Therapeutic Development Award are encouraged to leverage their own resources to complement the funding provided by this award. Participating organizations should ensure the success of the collaboration by resolving potential intellectual and material property issues and by removing organizational barriers that might interfere with achieving high levels of cooperation. Applicants with limited ALS experience are strongly encouraged to collaborate with those having substantial expertise in ALS research and/or ALS model systems. Letters confirming/supporting the collaboration are required.</Description>

        <Description>The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) has operated a State of Michigan statewide bald eagle productivity flight survey for many years. The purpose of the survey is to monitor existing bald eagle breeding areas, and determine mating pair nest occupancy, egg laying, egg incubation, hatching success and fledging success. MDNR licensed pilots work with MDNR and independently contracted observers. The observers and a volunteer compile productivity data that is then made available to State, Federal, and academic partners. The data are important to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) in determining productivity in Areas of Concern (AOC) that are designated under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement as well as in non-AOC reference locations. The Service also uses bald eagle nest data to help inform project planning and to assist the public in compliance with the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Finally, State, Federal and academic partners may reference current survey data to further investigate and monitor bald eagles as indicator species of aquatic ecosystem health. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intents to award a grant to Michigan Department of Natural Resources without competition under justification 505DM 2.14B.2 &amp;amp; 4. Authorizing legislation for this agreement is Anadromous Fish Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 757a); Bald Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668); Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 3951); Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1254(b)(3)); Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 103); Emergency Wetlands Resources Act (16 U.S.C. 3901); Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1561); Fish and Wildlife Act (16 U.S.C. 742a); Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 2901); Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661) Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act (Public Law 109-326); Great Lakes Fishery Act (16 U.S.C. 931) ; Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371-3378); Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703); Non-indigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act (16 U.S.C. 4701); North American Wetlands Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 4401); Partners for Fish and Wildlife Act (16 U.S.C. 3771).</Description>

The CESU was formerly competed under P16AC00003. Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro, Grants Specialist Erica_Cordeiro@nps.gov OVERVIEW In Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, shore excursions from tour vessels have increased substantially but no studies have been conducted to quantify the effects of increased shore excursions on terrestrial wildlife in Glacier Bay. This project will use non-invasive methods to quantify species occupancy and activity levels to compare between sites used for shore excursions versus those that are not and between days when human use occurs versus days in which no human use occurs at the same site. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Develop protocols to quantitatively assess occupancy and activity levels of selected mammal and nesting bird species on shoreline segments of Glacier Bay using non-invasive sampling and determine if there are spatial and temporal differences in occupancy and activity levels of selected mammal and ground-nesting bird species between: different yet comparable study sites where no tour boast shore excursions occur (control) and where tour boat shore excursions occur (treatment); and the same study site on days when no human use occurs (control) and days when human use occurs (treatment). RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Recipient will develop study plan, conduct field research, analyze data, and publish results in a graduate thesis and/or peer reviewed publication. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT The National Park Service will provide financial assistance, participate in project development and planning, assist with field logistics, and review final products. </Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Life Course Research Network (LCRN). The life course theory posits that multiple determinants, such as health care, nutrition, stress and supports, and environmental exposures, operating over the life course are critical drivers of MCH outcomes. The LCRN is designed to accelerate the translation of the life course theory to MCH practice and policy and foster its rapid adoption into clinical and public health settings through systems integration and collaboration among entities interested in improving MCH outcomes. This cooperative agreement opportunity will establish and maintain an interdisciplinary, multi-site research network. A network is a scientific forum for collaboration and infrastructure building that provides national leadership to improve and advance the field of life course research.</Description>

        <Description>The SCIMS program is designed to provide a multidisciplinary system of rehabilitation care specifically to meet the needs of individuals with SCI. To be eligible for a SCI Model Systems grant, an applicant institution must encompass a continuum of care for people with SCI, including emergency medical services, acute care services, acute medical rehabilitation services, and post-acute services. For purposes of this program, SCI is defined as a clinically discernible degree of neurologic impairment of the spinal cord following a traumatic event. NIDILRR currently supports 14 SCIMS centers through this program. The funding for these Centers is primarily used to conduct SCI research and to collect and send data to the SCIMS longitudinal database. SCIMS Centers will be funded at varying amounts up to the maximum award based on the numbers of subjects eligible for follow-up in the existing SCIMS longitudinal database. Existing centers with significantly larger numbers of subjects will receive higher funding within the specified range, as determined by NIDILRR after the applicant is selected for funding. Applicants provide detailed budgets for each research project and for data collection costs associated with the longitudinal database. Funding will be determined individually for each successful applicant, up to the maximum allowed, based upon the documented workload associated with the follow-up data collection, the other costs of the grant, and the overall budgetary limits of the program.</Description>

        <Description>The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), invests in high-risk, high-value research, development and deployment in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. EERE, through the Building Technologies Office (BTO) seeks to develop technologies, techniques, and tools for making buildings more energy efficient, productive, and affordable. BTO&amp;apos;s strategic goal is to significantly improve the energy efficiency of new and existing buildings to reduce national energy demand and allow the nation to work toward greater energy independence and a cleaner environment. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is targeted specifically at research to increase energy savings and reduce consumer bills through improved compliance with building energy codes. The first and largest topic area for this FOA is to develop and test a methodology for identifying the commercial energy code requirements that can provide the maximum cost-effective energy and cost savings through increased compliance. The methodology will be tested in selected building types and climate zones. Quantifying those savings will create the foundations of a business case for private investors, particularly utilities, to fund programs aimed at increasing compliance. The empirical data to support such an investment does not currently exist. In general, a project will be successful if the methodology (a) provides accurate results at a cost that is affordable to states wishing to benchmark their energy code achievements and (b) it can be extrapolated to all commercial building types in all climate zones. Given state and local government limitations on funding and resources, the methodology is likely to be multi-tiered: the minimum effort required to produce valid results will be defined but a framework allowing for increasing levels of accuracy and comprehensiveness will also be developed. Providing state and local governments and utilities with an analytical framework for assessing the impact of codes and code compliance on energy performance will allow them to make quantitatively-based funding and action decisions. This will lead to increased investment in energy code support programs which will reduce homeowner and building owner&amp;#8217;s energy bills. Two other topic areas included in this FOA are (1) The expansion of DOE&amp;#8217;s residential single family energy code field methodology to low-rise multifamily buildings; and, (2) Exploration of energy code life-cycle impacts in municipal building portfolios. The full FOA is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A User Guide for the EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website https://eere- exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website.</Description>

        <Description>The SMART Office seeks to fund up to two fellowship positions focusing on enhancing its capacity to provide assistance and support to public or private colleges and universities on their response to, prevention of, and education about sexual violence and other sex offending behaviors on college campuses. Funding for this project is authorized under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016. Project-Specific Information Sexual assault on college campuses is widespread. Reporting rates for campus sexual assault are very low; on average, across the nine schools, 1.1% of sexual battery incidents and 4.2% of rape incidents were reported by the victim to any law enforcement agency. The trauma caused by sexual assault can be life-long and not all campuses have the resources to effectively help the victim. Although many campuses have developed resources for the victims of sexual assault who come forward for help, most have not developed sufficient responses to the alleged perpetrators; sexual violence prevention strategies at the college level have typically focused on programs aimed at changing attitudes or increasing knowledge of sexual abuse. In 2014, the SMART Office released a solicitation targeting the perpetrators of sexual assault on college campuses. Through the initiative, the SMART Office is funding the development of a treatment curriculum for campus perpetrators of sexual assault to be implemented and tested at multiple colleges and universities. Last year, the SMART Office made two awards aimed at enhancing campus safety through the development of primary prevention programs; that is, programs designed to stop sexual violence before it occurs. In developing these solicitations, the SMART Office worked with several federal agencies and understands that these agencies are involved in addressing campus sexual assault issues through a variety of programs. The purpose of the SMART FY 2016 Sex Offender Management Fellowship is to help the SMART Office enhance its capacity to provide assistance and support to public and private colleges and universities on their prevention and response to sexual violence and exploitation on college campuses. The goal of this fellowship is to build a foundation within the field of sex offender management for the integration of effective approaches to sexual violence prevention and educational programming on college campuses. The fellowship will focus on prevention of and education about sexual violence and other sex offending behaviors on college campuses. The fellow will work with the relevant program offices within the Office of Justice Programs (Office for Victims of Crime, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the National Institute of Justice, and the Bureau of Justice Statistics), as well as the Office on Violence Against Women and other federal agencies. The SMART Office anticipates the fellow will work from remote locations full-time. However, the Fellow is expected to appear onsite at the SMART Office in Washington, DC once per quarter, and throughout the life of the award. Applicants who propose more narrowly focused fellowships that focus on their own specific interests will not be considered responsive to this solicitation and will not be forwarded for peer review. Additionally, please note this fellowship award is not intended to support individual pursuits in research or other academic work. Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables The Sex Offender Management Fellowship Program will identify ways to enhance and broaden programming designed to improve the prevention of, and education about, sexual violence and victimization on campus communities. Specifically, the fellow will work with SMART staff to develop a national plan for the prevention of sexual violence on campuses. This plan will strive to bridge the gaps that exist between those who work with victims and those who work with perpetrators of sexual violence; develop strategies to provide specialized education for multiple disciplines to address and promote prevention efforts; and begin the documentation of the research and evaluation of prevention strategies. The fellow will consult with other federal partners on this plan. Activities: &amp;#8226; In close coordination with SMART staff, summarize DOJ (and other federal agency) campus sexual assault prevention and/or education resources and programs and describe the processes used by the offices in developing these resources. Draft concise fact sheets detailing each of the offices&amp;#8217; efforts in this area. &amp;#8226; Assist SMART staff with the identification, interpretation, and adaptation of social marketing and public health campaigns (within and outside the campus setting) that have the ability to change public attitudes, particularly those specific to sexual assault prevention. &amp;#8226; Identify and assess education curricula for students and professionals about preventing campus sexual violence and develop recommendations for promoting promising practices in the field. &amp;#8226; Identify, compare, and summarize existent campus climate surveys. &amp;#8226; Develop reports, presentations, and other documents at the request of OJP/SMART management and staff to promote campus sexual violence prevention and education efforts and detail challenges and successes of these efforts. &amp;#8226; At the request of SMART staff/management, conduct site visits to assist in the assessment of projects or initiatives that are implementing promising sexual violence prevention and education programming, models, or resources on campuses or other relevant institutions. &amp;#8226; Participate in professional development and training activities in consultation with SMART management to enhance expertise related to campus sexual violence prevention and sex offender management practices and research. &amp;#8226; At the request of SMART staff/management, participate in internal and external stakeholder meetings, forums, workshops and other initiatives related to campus sexual violence prevention and education and sex offender management. &amp;#8226; Support SMART&amp;#8217;s efforts to build more formal collaborative relationships across the Federal government in response to campus sexual assault. Deliverables: &amp;#8226; Determine and provide an inventory and summary of the campus climate surveys that exist and what data analyses indicate. &amp;#8226; Determine and provide an inventory and summary of the surveys of students&amp;#8217; sexual behaviors and what data analyses indicate. &amp;#8226; Produce an inventory of existing campus, or other relevant institutions, sexual violence prevention programs and curricula, as well as institutional responses to, and sanctions for, sexual violence on campuses. &amp;#8226; Draft and present an assessment of research and campaigns in the area of campus sexual violence prevention and education. &amp;#8226; Draft and present a literature review of campus, or other relevant institutions, sexual violence prevention and education efforts, focusing in particular on those demonstrating a promising practice or an evidence-based approach. &amp;#8226; Provide monthly/quarterly reports to SMART management and Senior Policy Advisors that detail activities and recommendations for the design and execution of SMART forums, conferences, and the SMART newsletters on campus sexual violence prevention and education. &amp;#8226; Develop recommendations and suggestions as to how SMART can broaden its scope and collaboration with other entities (federal and non-federal) in the area of campus sexual violence prevention and education. &amp;#8226; Provide a final report to OJP/SMART on the fellowship project, including accomplishments, challenges and recommendations for improving the fellowship program. </Description>

        <Description>GGNRA and the Parks Conservancy have collaborated on a fee management partnership since 1997 providing fee collection and pass sales and issuance programs to the visiting public with a seamless fee collection experience and exceptional customer service including comprehensive visitor orientation to the parks. This Task Agreement will facilitate this ongoing collaboration which will include activities such as fee collection, pass sales and issuance, and visitor orientation. The expected outcome is to continue to forward ongoing efforts of providing fee collection, pass sales and visitor orientation as they are well aligned with and supplemental to the GGNPC&amp;#226;&amp;#191;&amp;#191;s existing infrastructure, programs, and expertise throughout GGNRA, including its interpretive retail sales locations, its trained customer service staff, and its point of sale and cash handling systems. This multi-faceted pre-existing partnership has made GGNPC a unique resource because of their familiarity with and contributions to NPS goals and objectives, site operations, visitor programs and emergency communications. Additionally, GGNPC currently operates interpretive retail bookstores and provides for interagency pass sales at those locations, allowing for the seamless integration of the pass sales within the existing interpretive retail program and point of sales system. Legislation and NPS leadership encourage partnerships and collaboration in delivering and providing a quality experience to the visitors and resource enhancement. This collaborative partnership will provide visitors with park orientation and information resulting in a direct benefit to the visitor. GGNPC staff partner with the GGNRA on projects and programs through the parks on a daily basis. This partnership provides GGNPC staff with tremendous access to interpretive information, enabling them to support the NPS in unique and important ways, especially in assisting visitors and promoting NPS programs. Utilizing trained GGNPC staff to provide Fee Collection at Muir Woods while also continuing to administer no-cost partnership operations at other interpretive visitor contact locations throughout GGNRA allows for a cohesive visitor experience as well as unique operational efficiencies. </Description>

        <Description>NET has a 27 year local history developing green projects in the Los Angeles area specifically designed to provide meaningful education projects for at-risk youth. The NPS has less experience with urban design but has unparalleled experience in youth project development in natural areas. This creates a unique partnership opportunity for NET and NPS to work together to develop youth projects in areas that have both natural and urban characteristics. This agreement will create a one-year pilot program for project development with North East Trees and the NPS that will provide environmentally friendly improvements to be constructed integrating future youth development projects on four trail heads, two trails, and two recreation sites. The project development and design by NET will be specifically catered for future project use where SAMO will be able to develop educational youth implementation crews.</Description>

        <Description>The Riverside-Corona Feeder (RCF) is a large capacity water pipeline associated with aquifer storage and recovery. The RCF will install new pipelines to deliver water to the Recipient&amp;#8217;s Service Area in Riverside County. Existing recharge basins will be used to store imported water and local Santa Ana River flows in the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin during wet years for delivery to communities in western Riverside County in dry years via approximately 28 miles of pipeline capable of delivering up to 40,000 acre-feet per year of ground water. The proposed pipelines will also provide access to groundwater from the Chino Basin in San Bernardino County. This Agreement will provide federal funding for construction activities of the La Sierra Pipeline (LSP) portion of the Riverside-Corona Feeder. For several years Western has been focused on increasing available local water supply for Western&amp;#8217;s Riverside Retail Service Area. To that end, Western has collaborated and partnered with various agencies to develop water supplies in both the Arlington and Chino Basins culminating with construction and expansion of groundwater desalter treatment plants. The Arlington Desalter and Chino Desalter are currently being connected with piping to allow movement of water between them. The last and most critical piece of this water supply undertaking, to benefit Western&amp;#8217;s Riverside Retail Service, will be to build the LSP. The LSP will enable the conveyance of potable water from the Arlington and Chino Desalters to serve the needs of Western&amp;#8217;s Riverside Retail Service Area. The LSP and associated pump station and reservoir will accomplish two major water reliability goals for Western&amp;#8217;s Riverside Retail Service Area: 1) provide up to 20 cubic feet per second (CFS) of emergency supply during Metropolitan Water District (MWD) outages, and 2) add availability to approximately 6,300 acre feet per year of local water supply thereby reducing the region&amp;#8217;s dependency on imported water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.</Description>

The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals, depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA. Names, due dates, and links for the individual calls are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA. Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2017, at which time release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA will be available at: http://nasascience.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2016/ Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2016 will be on the web at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/.

        <Description>Overview: The purpose of this CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches into NRCS policy, technical manuals, guides, and references or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. Projects intended to test hypotheses do not qualify. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate previously proven technology. It is a vehicle to stimulate development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a high likelihood of success, and to be a candidate for eventual technology transfer or institutionalization. CIG promotes sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, and facilities among communities, governments, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users. CIG funds projects targeting innovatinve, on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. In FY 2012, Kentucky CIG is offering water quality, soil quality and agriculture energy funding categories. These techologies and approaches are on Kentucky&amp;apos;s forefront to meet ongoing State level requirements. NRCS will accept applications for single or multi-year projects, not to exceed 3 years, submitted to NRCS from eligible entities including federally recognized Indian tribes, State and local units of government, and non-governmental organizations and individuals. Applications will be screened for completeness and compliance with the provisions of this notice. Incomplete applications will be eliminated from competition, and notification of elimination will be mailed to the applicant. Complete applicatons received by applicable deadlines will be evaluated by a technical peer reiew panel based on the Criteria for Application Evaluation identified in the application instructinos in section V.B. Applications, along with their associated technical peer review, will be forwarded to the Grants Review Board. The Grants Review Board will make recommendations for project approval to the NRCS Kentucky State Conservationist who will make the final selections.</Description>

        <Description>Reclamation will collect data from the acoustic stations and provide it to the offeror for analysis. The contractor will process and analyze the data from all stations using Titley Analook software filters provided by Reclamation. The contractor may use additional methods to analyze the data if approved by Reclamation. In 2015, there was data from nine stations. It is anticipated that a new station will be added in 2016 (10 stations), 2017 (11 stations), and 2018 (12 stations). The offeror should expect to analyze calls collected every night from June 01-August 31 of each year of the contract (2015-2018) for all stations that collected data in each year. Less data may be provided if data loss occurs due to station malfunctions.</Description>

Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of specialized science experimental hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals, depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov, in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g., co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information.

        <Description>The main objective of this amendment is to explore and test the feasibility of exploiting the natural acoustic vibrations induced in the rail by the wheel-rail contact, to perform non-contact passive rail flaw detection at sustained speeds. The ultimate goal is therefore to adapt the current non-contact rail flaw detection system to sensing rail flaws in a passive manner (without active excitation). A further objective of the work is maintaining, as main targets of the inspection, the most relevant rail head defects, namely Transverse Fissures, Detail Fractures and Vertical Split Head Defects. At the same time, the utilization of the natural excitations (which occur at low frequencies) may enable increased coverage area beyond the currently targeted top half, to the entire rail head section.</Description>

        <Description>This announcement solicits applications for the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Workforce Development Center Program. The purpose of the MCH Workforce Development Center Program is to support workforce development for State Title V program leaders and staff to meet current public health MCH policy and programmatic imperatives around health transformation, including ongoing transformation of the Title V Block Grant and continued implementation of health reform at the state and national levels. The MCH Workforce Development Center (the Center) will focus on three key topic areas around health transformation: (1) systems integration; (2) change management and adaptive leadership; and (3) evidence-based decision making. One (1) national workforce development center, based in an institution of higher education, will coordinate training efforts around the key topic areas to enhance the capacity of the MCH workforce to lead and/or engage in ongoing health transformation activities. Formal and informal academic-practice partnerships between the national training hub, State Title V programs, and other national partners, as appropriate, will be required to accomplish the goals of this program. The MCH Workforce Development Center awardee will be responsible for coordinating and implementing a national training strategy to address all three key issues within the Center&amp;#8217;s purview. National strategies must focus on building capacity of current and future State Title V MCH leaders and staff in the 59 states and jurisdictions.</Description>
