Arts and Humanities Funding


National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Research: Art Works
Deadline Nov. 8, 2011

NEA's Office of Research & Analysis' (ORA) is inaugurating a grants program for research in and about the arts. These grants will support the investigation of novel and significant research questions about the value and impact of the U.S. arts sector through the analysis of existing and/or newly established datasets. The resulting projects will enhance the current state of knowledge about the value and impact of the arts in the U.S., and will yield valuable information about the utility to arts-related research of various kinds of datasets -- including those not previously mined for this purpose. It is hoped, moreover, that by providing financial support to deserving projects that engage researchers from multiple fields and disciplines, this program will spur growth in the number of people experienced in and knowledgeable about arts-related research in the United States. In this spirit, the NEA encourages applicants from diverse research backgrounds, including applicants who have not specialized in arts-related research.

National Endowment for the Humanities Collaborative Research Grants
Deadline: Dec. 11, 2011

Collaborative Research Grants support interpretive research undertaken by a team of two or more scholars, for full-time or part-time activities for periods of a minimum of one year up to a maximum of three years. Eligible projects include

National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowships: Translation Projects
Deadline: Jan. 5. 2012

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. The Arts Endowment encourages translations of writers and of work that are not well represented in English translation. All proposed projects must be for creative translations of published 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 yet been translated into English.

Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) Tanglewood Music Center (TMC) Composition Program
Anticipated Deadline: Jan. 7, 2012 (announcement expected in late Oct. 2011)

The TMC Composition Program balances intensive on-site writing projects with classes, seminars, and discussions led by distinguished composers from a wide range of aesthetic perspectives. Composers will each have at least three performances of their works during the summer: two or more of which will be works written on-site. Each Composition Fellow will have one previously composed acoustic chamber work performed during the season on a regular TMC concert. As part of their application materials, composers should include at least one work which they would like to have performed at the center, suitable for performance by TMC forces. The on-site projects involve producing work quickly in order to experiment, develop specific (perhaps unfamiliar) skills, and to foster close collaborations with TMC performers. Inter-Arts initiatives often form one such project; others have included writing in less familiar musical genres or for under-utilized instruments, or writing for an ensemble consisting of the composers themselves.

Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Programs
Deadline Jan. 15, 2012 (anticipated)

Fellowships are offered by the Smithsonian Institution to provide opportunities for graduate students, predoctoral students, and postdoctoral and senior investigators to conduct research in association with members of the Smithsonian professional research staff, and to utilize the resources of the Institution. Applicants must propose to conduct research at the Smithsonian in one of its areas of research as outlined in the publication, Smithsonian Opportunities for Research and Study, for a period of three to twelve months, or ten weeks for the Graduate Student Fellowship. Past or current fellowship recipients are eligible to apply for another award.

NSF: Introducing Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI)


Promoting international collaborations in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) research and education is a fundamental element of NSF's mandate and NSF has been an unfaltering advocate throughout its 61-year history. With this letter, I am pleased to highlight an important NSF-wide opportunity for expanding NSF's slate of international activities: Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI).

SAVI is an innovative concept to foster interactions among scientists and educators around the globe based on the principle that excellence in STEM research and education exists in many parts of the world, and that scientific advances can be accelerated by scientists, engineers, and educators working together wherever they are. SAVI focuses on interactions between cohesive teams of researchers across national borders and takes advantage of existing U.S. and foreign investments in frontier research by leveraging complementary intellectual strengths and sharing unique research infrastructures. Virtual institutes will serve as research hubs in which new ideas originate, multidisciplinary research is fostered, diversity is valued, and long-term professional networks are developed between U.S. researchers and students and their international counterparts.

Objectives

The primary objective of SAVI is to bring together leading STEM researchers/educators from different countries, both physically and virtually, to work collaboratively on problems of mutual interest, building on relationships initiated by NSF-supported teams of researchers. NSF will support U.S. participants, while their international partners will be supported by their own national or regional funding source.

NSF intends to accomplish the following specific objectives through SAVI:

Scope of SAVI project activities

NSF will support activities that are designed to meet the SAVI objectives described above. Examples of activities, which can be carried out virtually or physically, include:

The above list is illustrative, and not meant to be exhaustive. Any balanced and mutually beneficial activities that contribute to meeting the SAVI objectives will be considered. The SAVI Website (http://www.nsf.gov/savi) describes examples of three virtual institutes that have served as pilot projects, representing three distinct SAVI models.

The NIH Director's Transformative Research Awards


The NIH Director’s Transformative Research Awards fund big, bold, paradigm-shifting science. Investigators from any discipline that supports the NIH mission can apply. Total annual costs can be as high as $25 million.

Because these types of projects tend to be inherently risky, they typically don’t fare as well in traditional NIH review. So we are piloting new approaches in the instructions to applicants and reviewers. If you apply, you will be asked to focus your research strategy on the significance and innovation of the idea, and there is no expectation for providing preliminary data. Reviews will be conducted using a multi-phase, editorial board style review process, and if you review, you will be instructed to maintain the emphasis on significance and innovation.

Do you have an idea that would transform the view on a particular topic? Check out the awardees from 2011, browse the website, and read the funding opportunity announcement for more information. The deadline for submitting applications is January 12, 2012, with letters of intent (not required but strongly encouraged) due by December 12, 2011.

NSF Major Research Instrumentation Program Limited Submission Preproposal Deadline


The NSF Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5260) serves to increase access to shared scientific and engineering instruments for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education, museums, science centers, and not-for-profit organizations. This program especially seeks to improve the quality and expand the scope of research and research training in science and engineering by providing shared instrumentation that fosters the integration of research and education in research-intensive learning environments. Development and acquisition of research instrumentation for shared inter- and/or intra-organizational use are encouraged, as are development efforts that leverage the strengths of private sector partners to build instrument development capacity at academic institutions.

Because this program limits the number of proposals allowed from individual academic institutions, each Rutgers campus (Newark, New Brunswick, and Camden) will conduct its own internal preproposal submission and review process. The internal Rutgers deadline for MRI preproposals is 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2011 (2 months in advance of the external deadline of Jan. 26, 2012). The preproposals:

Newark preproposals should to be sent to Erica Grant (shelaine@andromeda.rutgers.edu), New Brunswick preproposals should be sent to Michael Mueller (micmuell@vpr.rutgers.edu), and Camden preproposals should be sent to Camie Morrison (cammor@camden.rutgers.edu) before the deadline indicated above.

DoD Forensic Research and Development Program: White papers due Nov 10


FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION

Specific areas of interest in the forensic disciplines cited in the research opportunity synopsis are identified below:

  1. DNA
    Areas of Interest:
    • Techniques and systems that enable rapid DNA analysis and uploading to a national database (i.e., CODIS- Combined DNA Index System)- the proposed technique(s)/system(s) can exploit either the traditional 13 loci used in the United States and/or other genomic locations to determine not only genotype but also phenotype by exploiting single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
    • New methods or protocols for extracting information from mixed DNA samples or addressing low copy number DNA, allelic stutter, drop-ins, and drop-outs
    • Research into the correlation linking next-generation sequencing to traditional forensic loci determined by STR (short tandem repeat) profiling
    • Methods, protocols, and statistical analyses focused on mitochondrial DNA or Y-chromosomal DNA (provided a military application for these techniques is established)
    • Novel methods and research exploiting DNA in support of military operations
  2. LATENT PRINTS
    Areas of Interest:
    • Systems and techniques to automatically read and upload latent prints (invisible and visible prints left by tires, footwear, fingers, or palms) to a national database in an expeditionary environment without the use of chemicals or special processing
    • Novel methods to automatically analyze and match latent prints without human intervention
    • Research addressing the statistical distribution of information contained in fingerprints and minutiae in local and/or global populations
    • Research focused on statistical methods that describe the uniqueness of a latent print with respect to a known standard
  3. FIREARMS AND TOOLMARKS
    Areas of Interest:
    • Techniques and systems capable of capturing and uploading marks made by firearms and toolmarks without the intervention of an expert examiner
    • Research addressing the statistical uniqueness of firearm and toolmarks
    • Techniques and systems capable of quickly, reproducibly, and accurately measuring the depth profile of firearm and toolmarks in both expeditionary and laboratory environments
    • Innovative algorithms capable of automatic identification of firearms and toolmarks and assessment of statistical uniqueness of these marks
  4. TRACE EVIDENCE
    Areas of Interest:
    • Research demonstrating linkage between people, places, things, and events using trace evidence (trace compounds found in explosives, drugs, hair, fibers, or pollen found on individuals, at crime scenes, or on other evidence)
    • A system and database for DNA profiling of pollen - ideally, the system should be amenable to an expeditionary environment. However, schemes developed around a robust reach-back capability will also be considered.
    • Research exploiting taggants to assist in linking people, places, things, and events
  5. EXPLOSIVE DETECTION
    Areas of Interest:
    • Extremely inexpensive, pocket-sized applications and/or kits for the detection of explosive material - the test application or kit would minimally need to determine whether unknown material is an explosive hazard, although the capability to identify the explosive material is also desired.
    • Techniques and systems that identify the origin of explosive material based on trace element or isotope detection, either in the context of a portable laboratory or reach-back scenario
    • Statistical studies on the uniqueness and ability to attribute a particular trace analyte to a person or location
  6. DRUG CHEMISTRY
    Areas of Interest:
    • Portable, inexpensive, safe, and easy-to-use drug testing equipment is required in expeditionary environments - at a minimum, the equipment must detect the presence of an illicit drug. However, the preferred instrument would also identify the illicit drug.
    • Research focused on detection of emerging drugs (e.g., Spice, Bath Salts)
    • Systems and techniques capable of trace drug detection, detection of drug metabolites in human matrices, and detection of drug precursors
    • Systems and techniques capable of detecting trace elements or isotopes that can identify drug origin, method of transportation, or method of manufacture

II. AWARD INFORMATION

Through this announcement, the DoD intends to award approximately $3 million for FY 2012, subject to the availability of funds. Awards may be made in the form of contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements. This announcement seeks applied research deliverables beyond a technical report. Applied research deals with "efforts to determine and exploit the potential of science and engineering knowledge and understanding in technology such as new materials, devices, methods, and processes (DoDGARs 22.105)."

Projected periods of performance for awards range from 9 months to 24 months.

Stupid Faculty Tricks: Research Misconduct in NIH proposal

While this newsletter often points out best practices, here is a worst practice to avoid:

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Research Integrity has taken final action on a case of research misconduct. Based on an inquiry conducted by Duke University admissions by the Respondent, and additional analysis conducted by ORI in its oversight review, ORI has found that a former postdoctoral scholar engaged in research misconduct by falsifying data in a grant application submitted to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Specifically, ORI found that the Respondent falsified Figure 2C of the grant by altering the gain settings in the instrument used to measure store-operated current (SOC) densities in a whole cell patch clamp experiment comparing mouse airway cells and wild type mouse airway cells. ORI found that the Respondent falsified the experiment by adding an additional substance to his experiment to sharpen the results without disclosing that the substance was added.

The Respondent has entered into a Voluntary Settlement Agreement with ORI, in which he voluntarily agreed to the administrative actions set forth below. The administrative actions are required for two (2) years beginning on the date of the Respondent’s employment in a research position in which he receives or applies for PHS support on or after the effective date of the Agreement; however, if he has not obtained employment in a research position in which he receives or applies for PHS support within three (3) years of the effective date of the Agreement, the administrative actions set forth below will no longer apply. The Respondent has voluntarily agreed: (1) To have his research supervised as described below and to notify his employer(s)/institutions(s) of the terms of this supervision; Respondent agrees to ensure that prior to the submission of an application for PHS support for a research project on which Respondent’s participation is proposed and prior to Respondent’s participation in any capacity on PHS supported research, the institution employing him will submit a plan for supervision of Respondent’s duties to ORI for approval; the plan for supervision must be designed to ensure the scientific integrity of Respondent’s research contribution; Respondent agrees that he will not participate in any PHS supported research from the effective date of this Agreement until a plan for supervision is submitted to and approved by ORI; Respondent agrees to be responsible for maintaining compliance with the agreed upon plan for supervision; (2) that any institution employing him must submit, in conjunction with each application for PHS funds, or report, manuscript, or contract involving PHS supported research in which Respondent is involved, a certification to ORI that the data provided by Respondent are based on actual experiments or are otherwise legitimately derived and that the data, procedures, and methodology are accurately reported in the application, report, manuscript, or abstract; and (3) to exclude himself from serving in any advisory capacity to PHS, including but not limited to service on any PHS advisory committee, board, and/or peer review committee, or as a consultant.
