Basic Cancer Research in Cancer Health Disparities (U01)
Through this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities, the Division of Cancer Biology, and Division of Cancer Prevention, at the National Cancer Institute, invite cooperative agreement research (U01) grant applications from investigators interested in conducting basic research studies into the causes and mechanisms of cancer health disparities, including those related to basic research in prevention strategies. These awards will support innovative mechanistic studies that investigate biological/genetic bases of cancer health disparities, including those related to basic research in prevention strategies. 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 develop resources and tools, such as biospecimens, cell lines, and methods that are necessary to conduct basic research in cancer health disparities. Direct costs are limited to $250,000/year and may not exceed 5 years. Deadline: 2011-06-23; 2011-11-23

The purpose of the National Cooperative Drug Discovery/Development Group Program is to create multidisciplinary research groups or partnerships for the discovery of pharmacological agents to treat and to study mental illness or drug or alcohol addiction. The objectives of this program are to: (1) accelerate innovative drug discovery; (2) develop pharmacologic tools for basic and clinical research on mental disorders or drug or alcohol addiction; (3) develop and validate models for evaluating novel therapeutics for mental disorders; and (4) support early-phase human clinical testing to rapidly assess the safety and efficacy of promising drug candidates and new indications for IND-ready drugs for the treatment of mental disorders or alcohol addiction. The National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism invite applications to advance the discovery, preclinical development, and proof-of-concept testing of new, rationally based candidate medications to treat mental disorders or drug or alcohol addiction, and to develop novel ligands as tools to further characterize existing or to validate new drug targets. Partnerships between academia and industry are strongly encouraged. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity announcement may not exceed 5 years. Deadline: 2011-09-26; 2011-10-24; 2012-01-24; 2012-02-24

This program emphasizes the theory of strong gravitational fields and their application to astrophysics and cosmology, computer simulations of strong and gravitational fields, and gravitational radiation; and construction of a quantum theory of gravity. The program oversees the management of the construction, commission, and operation of the Laser Interferometer Gravity Wave Observatory and provides support for LIGO users and other experimental investigations in gravitational physics and related areas.

The program "Physics of Living Systems" (PoLS) in the Physics Division at the National Science Foundation targets theoretical and experimental research exploring the most fundamental physical processes that living systems utilize to perform their functions in dynamic and diverse environments. The focus should be on understanding basic physical principles that underlie biological function. Proposals that use physics only as a tool to study biological questions are of low priority. PoLS encourages research that emphasizes the physical principles of organization and function of living systems, including the exploration of artificial life forms. Although the problems under study must be important to advancing our understanding of the living world in a quantitative way, particular emphasis will be placed on those projects in which lessons learned from the biological application also expand the intellectual range of physics. Awards will cover a broad spectrum of physics approaches in biology, ranging from the physical principles and mechanisms at the single cell level such as cellular organization (e.g., cytoskeleton), energy metabolism, gene regulation, and intracellular and intercellular communication, to collective behavior and evolution of complexity in life forms and living populations of organisms. This systems approach in physics has been very successful in understanding inanimate systems and has the potential to bring deep understanding of the world of animated, replicating systems through falsifiable phenomenological theories. The program funds individual investigators, although collaborative proposals between physicists and biological researchers are welcome. Proposals with potential societal impact such as renewable energy and human health are good examples of strong broader impact and are of interest to the program. Deadline: 2011-07-31

The Nuclear Theory program encompasses the structure and reactions of nuclei, and of hadrons in few-nucleon and nuclear environments, and the quark/gluon substructure expressed by QCD. Supported research includes contributions to broad theoretical advances as well as model building and applications to experimental programs at facilities such as RHIC and Jefferson Laboratory, and to astrophysical phenomena. This includes formulating new approaches for theoretical, computational, and experimental research that explore the fundamental laws of physics and the behavior of physical systems; formulating quantitative hypotheses; exploring and analyzing the implications of such hypotheses analytically and computationally; and, in some cases, interpreting the results of experiments. Deadline: 2011-10-26

Theoretical Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology
The Astrophysics and Cosmology Theory program supports proposals that primarily are involved with theoretical particle astrophysics and big bang cosmology as well as more speculative string theory–inspired cosmologies. Understanding the quarks-to-cosmos connection has been a recent focus of the program as well as better understanding the implications of the fluctuation spectra of the cosmic microwave background. The cosmology and astrophysics research supported by the program is usually associated with people with training in particle theory and encompasses dark matter, dark energy, high energy cosmic rays as well as exotic cosmologies arising from Brane-world and string theory scenarios. This includes formulating new approaches for theoretical, computational, and experimental research that explore the fundamental laws of physics and the behavior of physical systems; formulating quantitative hypotheses; exploring and analyzing the implications of such hypotheses analytically and computationally; and, in some cases, interpreting the results of experiments. Deadline: 2011-12-01

Earth Sciences: Instrumentation and Facilities
The Instrumentation and Facilities Program in the Division of Earth Sciences (EAR/IF) supports meritorious requests for infrastructure that promotes research and education in areas supported by the division. Planned research uses of requested instruments, software, and facilities must include basic research on Earth processes supported by the division of earth sciences. Support is available through grants or cooperative agreements awarded in response to investigator-initiated proposals. Human resource development and education are expected to be an integral part of all proposals submitted to EAR/IF. The estimated number of awards is 30 to 50. The anticipated funding amount is $7 million. Please see the full announcement for more information. Deadline: 2012-07-26
