The three distinguishing features of an eligible study are: 1) the unforeseeable nature of the opportunity; 2) the clear scientific value and feasibility of the study; and 3) the need for rapid review and funding (substantially shorter than the typical NIH grant review/award cycle) in order for the scientific question to be approached and for the research design to be implemented. The shortened time frame will be achieved by more frequent application due dates and expediting peer review, council concurrence and award issuance. The entire cycle from submission to award is expected to be within 3-4 months. This program will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. Indirect Costs Funding This program will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. Applications submitted in response to this announcement must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the SF424 Research and Related (R&R) forms and SF424 (R&R) Application Guide. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed two years. Direct costs are limited to $275,000 over the two years of the R21 award, with no more than $200,000 in direct costs allowed in any single year. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. F&A costs requested by consortium participants are not included in the direct cost limitation. Reference: NIH Guide, Week Ending March 8, 2013; NIH Guide, Week Ending January 31, 2014.

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.

This procurement is being competed under full and open competitive procedures under FAR Part 15. It is anticipated that a single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract will be awarded on or about August 1, 2015 with a 10-year period of performance. It is expected that a solicitation will be issued on or about September 30, 2014. BACKGROUND: Current and projected experiments using rodents to model the aging processes and age-related diseases in humans require animals of defined genotype and controlled environmental and health status. Only with the meticulous, long-term control of genetic and environmental variables is it possible to maintain relevant animal models that may be used to study many of the biological and behavioral processes in aging. Therefore,a continuous supply of genetically defined, well characterized inbred and hybrid laboratory animals is essential for a program of research on aging. In 2010, NIA awarded a 9-year contract for the development and maintenance of a colony of genetically defined aged mice. This RFP contemplates award of a follow-on contract. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this contract is to develop, maintainand distribute a standing colony of aged, genetically defined laboratory mice for use by investigators in studies of aging. This colony is to be developed and maintained within controlled and defined barrier environments where animals are monitored and characterized for disease status and markers of genetic purity. PROJECT REQUIRMENTS: The Contractor shall develop, maintain and distribute a standing colony of aged mice of NIA-specified genotypes for use by investigators in studies of aging. The expected duration of this colony, and therefore of this contract, is ten years. During years 1 through 2, animals shall be entered into thecolony, but few animals shall be removed from the colony except for the purposes of monitoring health and genetic purity. However, if the need should arise, animals may be distributed from the colony at any time at the direction of the Contractor Officer's Representative (COR). During years 3 through 7, animals shall continue to be entered into the colony and animals shall be distributed to investigators. This should be a period of stable operation with young animals entering the colony at approximately the same rate as older animals leave the colony due to distribution and normal attrition. The final period, years 8-10, will serveas the colony close-out period. Animals shall be maintained and disbursed, but entry of animals shall cease at the beginning of year 8 or when entries begin ina renewal contract colony. Thus the population in this contract colony will decline to a point of zero or very few animals at the end of year ten. The colony population at the end of each year of the nine year period should be approximately as follows: YEAR 1 10,000 YEAR 4 72,000 YEAR 7 72,000 YEAR 10 Near Zero YEAR 250,000 YEAR 5 72,000 YEAR 8 50,000 YEAR 3 72,000 YEAR 6 72,000 YEAR 9 20,000 The Contractor shall acquire foundation stock for four inbred strains of mice froma stock center identified by the COR and shall re-derive the stock by caesariansection or embryo transfer under barrier conditions. After re-derivation, testing to confirm genetic purity and SPF health status shall be performed on the foundation colony, and breeding colonies will be established for the four inbred strains and two derivative hybrid strains. Mice will be entered into the aging colony at levels defined in the contract Statement of Work (SOW), currently a totalof 4,150 mice per month (the hybrid strains account for approximately 5% of thetotal entry levels). The Contractor shall provide all production space needed for the colony, including at least two independent barriers to house the colony, with independent back-up and alarm systems. Since this is an aging colony, the contractor must be prepared to house the animals for up to 2-3 years each. Mice shall be provided with sterilized food (formulation consistent with NIH31 open formula) and bedding, and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity range, light cycle, water treatment, etc.) as defined in the SOW. Mice shall be monitored weekly for signs of fighting or morbidity. Semiannual genetic monitoring of the breeding colonies and quarterly health monitoring of the aging colonies shallbe performed and reported to the COR as well as be included in the semi-annual progress reports. Genetic monitoring shall be accomplished by a panel of microsatellite markers that distinguish the inbred strains. Health monitoring shall include external exams for parasites, microbiology, serology, and histology. The Contractor shall ship the mice to investigators upon authorization from the COR orher representative, providing secure shipping crates, food and water sources, climate-controlled transport and provide a weekly inventory of the aging colony in a format approved by the COR..

NA populations are exposed to considerable risk factors that significantly increase their likelihood of chronic disease, substance abuse, mental illness, oral diseases, and HIV-infection. The intervention program should be culturally appropriate and promote the adoption of healthy lifestyles, improve behaviors and social conditions and/or improve environmental conditions related to chronic diseases, the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, mental illness, oral disease, or HIV-infection. The intervention program should be designed so that it could be sustained within the entire community within existing resources, and, if successful, disseminated in other Native American communities. The long-term goal of this FOA is to reduce mortality and morbidity in NA communities. For the purposes of this FOA Native Americans include the following populations: Alaska Native, American Indian, and Native Hawaiian. The term ‘Native Hawaiian’ means any individual any of whose ancestors were natives, prior to 1778, of the area which now comprises the State of Hawaii.

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.

NIH anticipates providing $9.0 million per year, to fund an estimated 5-10 awards. Application budgets are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project. Applicants should rarely exceed $1M direct costs per year for the non-clinical testing phase and $1.5M direct costs per year for the Early Feasibility Study phase. The duration of the UH2 phase cannot exceed 3 years and the total duration of the UH2/UH3 phases combined may not exceed 5 years.

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. This FOA will use the NIH Administrative Supplement award mechanism. Indirect Costs Funding This FOA will use the NIH Administrative Supplement award mechanism. Administrative supplement requests must be submitted on paper for the following activity codes: P01; P20; P30; P50; P60; U10; U19; U54; and U56. For all other activity codes, applications submitted in response to this announcement must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the SF424 Research and Related (R&R) forms and SF424 (R&R) Application Guide. ODS intends to commit up to $3.0M in FY 2015 to fund approximately 30 awards. Budget requests may be for no more than $100,000 in total costs. Application budgets are limited to no more than the amount of the current parent award and must reflect the actual needs of the proposed project. The funding mechanism being used to support this program, administrative supplements, can be used to cover cost increases that are associated with achieving certain new research objectives, as long as the research objectives are within the original scope of the peer reviewed and approved project, or the cost increases are for unanticipated expenses within the original scope of the project. Any cost increases need to result from making modifications to the project that would increase or preserve the overall impact of the project consistent with its originally approved objectives and purposes. The project and budget periods must be within the currently approved project period for the existing parent award.

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.

Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS, also known as electronic cigarettes) are recently developed devices that deliver nicotine along with other constituents and flavorings in an inhalable aerosol. NIDA has an interest in supporting research into ENDS because their use is rapidly increasing in adults and youth, and they may also represent a valuable opportunity for harm reduction andsmoking cessation. The currently available research data on ENDS is insufficient to fully inform public policy or to assess their overall impact on public health. Research is hampered for several reasons, including the limited information available on the nicotine delivery characteristics and uncertainty that any specific model will be available for the full term of a multi-year study. Furthermore, currently available devices do not have the product data and manufacturing documentation required for Investigational New Drug (IND) approval, thereby preventing their use in many clinical studies. In order to accelerate ENDS research, NIDA is seeking proposals to develop a standardized ENDS to be used in clinical research. This request for proposals may be most relevant (but not limited) to current ENDS manufacturers, provided they are eligible to apply to the SBIR program.The solicitation is planned to be available electronically in January 2015.At the earliest it will be posted 15 days from this notice. You will access the solicitation through the FedBizOpps (URL: http://www.fbo.gov) or through the NIDA website: (URL: http://www.nida.nih.gov/RFP/RFPList.html). All information required for the submission of a proposal is contained in or accessible through the solicitation package. NIDA will consider proposals submitted by any responsible offeror. This advertisement does not commit the Government to award a contract.The solicitation will be available ONLY via electronic means. Printed copiesof the solicitation will not be distributed. Potential offerors are encouraged to check the fedbizopps.gov for updates on the program. Any updates or corrections to the solicitation will be posted there.The purposes of the SBIR program are to: (a) stimulate technological innovation in the private sector; (b) strengthen the role of small business in meeting Federal research/research & development (R/R&D) needs; (c) increase the commercial application of Federally-supported research results; (d) foster and encourage participation by socially and economically disadvantaged small businessconcerns and women-owned business concerns; and improve the return on investment from Federally-funded research for economic and social benefits to the Nation.For purposes of the SBIR program, a small business concern is any business concern that, on the date of award, (1) is organized for profit, with a place of business located in the United States, which operates primarily within the United States or which makes a significant contribution to the United States economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, materials or labor; (2) is inthe legal form of an individual proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture, association, trust or cooperative, except that where the form is a joint venture, there must be less than 50 percent participation by foreign business entities in the joint venture; (3) more than 50% directly owned and controlled by one or more individuals (who are citizens or permanent resident aliens of the United States), other business concerns (each of which is more than 50% directly owned and controlled by individuals who are citizens or permanent resident aliens of the United States), or any combination of these; OR more than 50% owned by multiple venture capital operating companies, hedgefunds, private equity firms, or any combination of these.

The award is a grant to provide support for all of the research in an investigator's laboratory that falls within the mission of NIGMS. The goal of MIRA is to increase the efficiency and efficacy of NIGMS funding. It is anticipated that the new program will:--Increase the stability of funding for NIGMS-supported investigators, which could enhance their ability to take on ambitious scientific projects and approach problems more creatively.--Increase flexibility for investigators to follow important new research directions as opportunities arise, rather than being bound to specific aims proposed in advance of the studies.--More widely distribute funding among the nation’s highly talented and promising investigators to increase overall scientific productivity and the chances for important breakthroughs.-Reduce the time spent by researchers writing and reviewing grant applications, allowing them to spend more time conducting research.--Enable principal investigators to devote more time and energy to mentoring junior scientists in a more stable research environment.--The purpose of this FOA is to test the feasibility of this grant mechanism through a pilot program with restricted eligibility. This FOA will use the NIH R35 Outstanding Investigator Award mechanism. Indirect Costs Funding This FOA will use the NIH R35 Outstanding Investigator Award mechanism. Applications submitted in response to this announcement must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the SF424 Research and Related (R&R) forms and SF424 (R&R) Application Guide. NIGMS intends to commit $60 million in FY 2016 to fund up to 100 awards. Applications may request up to $750,000 direct costs per year. Investigators are encouraged to request what is actually well justified for their research program. In general, the request should be commensurate with the investigator’s current total NIGMS research funding. Cost efficiency is one of the goals of the MIRA program and will be one of the considerations in funding decisions. Applications may request a maximum project period of five years. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. F&A costs requested by consortium participants are not included in the direct cost limitation. Reference: NIH Guide, Week Ending January 30, 2015; NIH Guide, Week Ending February 6, 2015.

Atmospheric composition is central to Earth system dynamics because the atmosphere integrates spatially varying surface emissions globally on time scales from weeks to years. NASA works to provide monitoring and evaluation tools to assess the effects of climate change on ozone recovery and future atmospheric composition, improved climate forecasts based on the understanding of the forcings of global environmental change, and air quality modeling that takeinto account the relationship between regional air quality and global climate change. Achievements in these areas via advances in observations, data assimilation, and modelingenable improved predictive capabilities for describing how future changes in atmospheric composition affect air quality, weather, and climate.

The scale of the unknown diversity on Earth is especially troubling given the rapid and permanent loss of biodiversity across the globe. 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. This campaign promotes novel integrative 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 focuses on the intersection of genetic, phylogenetic, and functional dimensions of biodiversity. Successful proposals must integrate these three dimensions to understand interactions and feedbacks among them. While this focus complements several core programs in BIO and GEO, it differs by requiring that multiple dimensions of biodiversity be addressed simultaneously, in novel ways, to understand their synergistic roles in critical ecological and evolutionary processes. The Dimensions of Biodiversity program again includes partnerships with the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) of Brazil in fiscal year 2015. 45323 STEM + Computing Partnerships (STEM+C) Contact Name Contact Telephone Contact Email Sponsor Website Program URL Deadline Dates (ALL) Synopsis USDA-NIFAAFRI-004919 Deadline Date Rachel Melnick 202-401-4980 rmelnick@nifa.usda.gov http://www.nifa.usda.gov/funding/rfas/pdfs/fy2015_afri_climate_change.pdf http://www07.grants.gov/view-opportunity.html?oppId=274626 02-Apr-2015; 04-Jun-2015 SYNOPSIS: AFRI is a competitive grant program to provide funding for fundamental and applied research, education, and extension projects in food and agricultural sciences.

Awards are generally directed to support facilities that lend themselves to shared use within the broad range of federally-supported research and education programs. NSF support includes awards for the procurement, conversion and/or up-grade, enhancement or annual operation of research vessel platforms in the ocean, coastal, near-shore and Great Lakes. The vessels are either state or federally owned, and operated by academic institutions within the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Most of these platforms and their associated facilities also receive partial support from other federal agencies, state and local governments, and private sources on a proportional basis. The scientific productivity of research programs conducted by the U.S. Academic Research Vessel Fleet is enhanced by providing technical support services to all users of the facility. Maintaining availability of qualified Technicians for ship-based research is a long-standing and proven method of optimizing technical support. Individual Operating Institutions employ and assign permanent Technicians to research vessels under their purview. However, there are frequent occasions in which it is necessary and desirable to hire temporary or part-time Technicians to meet unexpected or surge demands across the fleet. Procedures for meeting this requirement vary between Operating Institutions and are frequently inconsistent, complex and time consuming. This solicitation seeks to streamline the inherent inefficiencies in meeting varying demands for technical support by establishing a centrally managed Pool of Temporary and Part-time Technicians that can be made readily available to vessel Operating Institutions across the US Academic Research fleet. A single award is anticipated for Management of a centralized, UNOLS Technician Services Pool by a Technician Pool Host Institution (TPHI).
