1. Success Story Grant Helps Preserve Historic Photo Collec on, from GVNow, September 12, 2012 

Grand Valley State University’s Special Collec ons and Archives is working to iden fy thousands of new pho-tos that are part of a significant historical collec on, thanks to a preserva on grant from the R.B. Annis Edu-ca onal Founda on. The photos are part of the D.J. Angus photo collec on, which includes more than 10,000 photographs and 6,000 feet of film that Angus took between the late 1920s and the early 1960s. Angus explored the U.S. and Mexico with his brother F.C. Angus and R.B. Annis on family vaca ons and month-long camping trips in the 1920s and 1930s. He captured on film meless images, including construc on of the Hoover Dam, Mt. Rushmore, cliff dwellings in the American southwest, and geysers, lava fields, canyons, and craters at would-be na onal parks before they were off-limits to visitors. Originally acquired by the university in 1986, the collec on was in danger of being damaged by me when University Archivist Nancy Richard started to digi ze some of the prints in 2007. Fearing the nega ves would be lost forever, she applied for a Na onal Endow-ment for the Humani es grant to ascertain how much it would cost to preserve, and then, with the encouragement of Annis Founda on board member and nephew of D.J. Angus, Chuck Angus, applied for a grant from the R.B. Annis Educa onal Founda on to preserve the materials. To read the whole ar cle from GVNow, click here.

3. Grants Resource Center News NIH Collabora ons Lead to New Grant Programs, from GrantWeek, September 11, 2012 

The Na onal Ins tutes of Health (NIH) has announced partnerships with the U.S. Food and Drug Administra-on (FDA) and the Na onal Football League (NFL) to launch two new research programs that promise to re-

duce preventable illness, injury, and death.

Tobacco Control Regulatory Research The FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) has joined eight NIH ins tutes in the launch of a new research ini a ve to inform public health regula ons related to tobacco products. Applica ons are due by November 1, 2012; January 16 and June 18, 2013;January 15 and June 17, 2014; and January, 16, 2015.

With the support of CTP funds designated specifically for tobacco regulatory science, NIH will award and ad-minister small research grants (R03) of up to $100,000 in direct costs over two years, exploratory/developmental research grants (R21) of up to $275,000 in direct costs over two years, and research grants (R01) of up to five years. Note that there is no dollar limit on NIH R01 awards, but approval must be request-ed at least six months prior to submission if an applicant plans to request $500,000 or more in a single budg-et year.

Researchers may propose biomedical, behavioral, and social science approaches to answer specific, high-priority ques onsrelated to tobacco products and their uses, health consequences, addic on, toxicity, car-cinogenicity, marke ng, communica ons, economics, and policies. Research results are expected to generate findings that are directly relevant to the FDA's regula on of the manufacture, distribu on, and marke ng of tobacco products to protect public health.

Sports and Health Research Meanwhile, the NIH Founda on has announced a $30 million dona on from the NFL — the largest gi in the league’s 92-year history — for the crea on of an NIH Sports and Health Research Program. The funding will enable NIH ins tutes and centers to support research on serious medical condi ons that are both prominent in athletes and relevant to the general popula on.

Poten al areas of interest include chronic trauma c encephalopathy; concussion; the poten al rela onship between trauma c brain injury and late-life neurodegenera ve disorders, especially Alzheimer's disease; chronic degenera ve joint disease; the transi on from acute to chronic pain; sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes; and heat- and hydra on-related illness and injury.

Story Landis, director of the Na onal Ins tute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, says the agency is “looking forward to working with the NFL and other organiza ons to conduct research on a host of medical condi ons affec ng athletes. Findings from this research will provide us with be er ways to detect, diagnose, and treat these condi ons, and in some cases, even prevent their occurrence."

GRC will provide members with addi onal details as the Sports and Health Research Program takes shape.

3. Grants Resource Center News, Cont. NSF Launches New Undergraduate Expedi ons, from GrantWeek, September 5, 2012 

The Na onal Science Founda on (NSF) Office of Cyberinfrastructure, Division of Mathema cal Sciences, and Office of Mul disciplinary Ac vi es have announced a $4 million compe on for Expedi ons in Training, Re-search, and Educa on for Mathema cs and Sta s cs through Quan ta ve Explora ons of Data (EXTREEMS-QED). Proposals are due by December 14, 2012. With its explicit focus on undergraduate students, EX-TREEMS-QED is likely to be of interest to many GRC members. The compe on will be s ff, with four to six awards expected each year, so it is cri cal that applicants are familiar not just with the applica on guidelines but also with the philosophy on which the program is based. Elements that are “strongly encouraged,” such as the use of evidence-based instruc onal methods and the development of collabora ons among all types of higher educa on ins tu ons, should be treated as though they’re required. NSF writes that “the new field of computa onal and data-enabled science and engineering (CDS&E) has emerged as a third pillar of scien fic inves ga on that complements theory and experimenta on.” Involving as it does applied mathema cs, sta s cs, computer science, core science, and engineering disciplines, CDS&E is as complex as any scien fic field in existence. This means CDS&E training is o en “under-developed within the current structure of U.S. educa onal ins tu ons.” Therefore, all proposals must include strong plans not just for research but also for faculty development and student educa on and training. Over a project period of between two and five years, awardees will be ex-pected to achieve these outcomes:

Provide opportuni es for undergraduate research and hands-on experiences centered on CDS&E;

Result in significant changes to the undergraduate mathema cs and sta s cs curriculum;

Have broad ins tu onal support and department-wide commitment that encourage collabora ons within and across disciplines;

Include professional development ac vi es for faculty or for K-12 teachers; and

Where appropriate leverage and advance the use of exis ng cyberinfrastructure resources (e.g. data ar-chives, networks) for data explora on. Review the solicita on carefully for addi onal details on required project elements, then direct specific ques-

ons to Jennifer Pearl in the Division of Mathema cal Sciences or Mark Suchman in the Office of Cyberinfra-structure.

ACLS Announces New Funding for China Scholars, from GrantWeek, September 5, 2012 

The American Council of Learned Socie es (ACLS), the leading federa on of humanist organiza ons, has announced several new grant opportuni es for the study of Chinese literature, history, culture, and soci-ety. The new program is funded by a grant from the Henry Luce Founda on in recogni on of both the im-portant scholarship emerging from China and the economic pressure on Asian Studies departments in aca-demia. ACLS will award s pends for pre-disserta on research in China, grants for collabora ve reading work-shops that unite a number of disciplines and scholarly genera ons, and postdoctoral research fellowships for scholars within eight years of the receipt of the PhD. Round-one applica ons are due by November 15, 2012.

3. Grants Resource Center News, Cont. NEH Preserva on Funding Available Now, from GrantWeek, September 5, 2012 

The Na onal Endowment for the Humani es has opened the FY13 compe on for Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collec ons, a longstanding program designed to help “cultural repositories plan and implement preserva on strategies that pragma cally balance effec veness, cost, and environmental impact.” Applica-

ons are due by December 4, 2012.

Awards support the preserva on of books, manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings, mo on pictures, archaeological and ethnographic ar facts, art, and other historical objects. Because of me limits on funding and the nature of fragile collec ons—which are o en prone to unexpected problems—applica ons should “aim to mi gate the greatest risks to collec ons rather than to meet prescrip ve targets.” Two levels of funding are available: planning grants of up to $40,000 for preliminary studies, pilot projects, and tes ng; and implementa on grants of up to $100,000 for more substan ve projects such as rehousing collec ons or installing environmental stabiliza on equipment.

NIH Pilots Electronic Submission of Post‐Award Changes, from GrantWeek, August 27, 2012 

Nearly 95 percent of Na onal Ins tutes of Health (NIH) grant applica ons are submi ed electronically through Grants.gov. A new pilot will allow awardees to use Grants.gov to submit applica ons for post-award changes of grantee organiza on as well, effec ve August 24, 2012.

And a concurrent NIH pilot program will allow for electronic submission of the official statement relinquishing interests and rights in a Public Health Service research grant through both the newchange of ins tu on mod-ule in eRA Commons and Grants.gov, also effec ve August 24, 2012.

During the pilot period, post-award changes of grantee organiza ons can s ll be submi ed directly to the awarding NIH ins tute or center as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement. However, grantees are en-couraged to become familiar with the new system before its use is required. No further details are available on when this might occur.

Note that these pilots apply only to post-award change of grantee organiza on applica ons; requests for ap-plica ons pending review and applica ons pending award are not included. For more details, contact the NIH Division of Grants Policy at 301/435-0938 or GrantsPolicy@od.nih.gov.
