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." <a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-ES-15-004.html" target="_blank">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-ES-15-004.html</a> <br><br>Grants are for up to $1.4 million in direct costs over 3 years.

about learning through integrated research; connect the research to
specific scientific, technological, educational, and workforce
challenges; and enable research communities to capitalize on new
opportunities and discoveries. The Program is designed to support
projects that – due to the activities supported and their
interdisciplinarity and integrative breadth – do not fit into existing
NSF programs.
<p>"This solicitation invites proposals for the creation of
new research networks to address important questions in the SL. Networks
will focus on:</p>
<ul><li>Advancing basic research through integrative,
interdisciplinary perspectives and methodologies, through integration of
theory and experiment, and across scales of analysis; and/or</li><li>Translating findings from basic research on learning
to applications to benefit society and further inform fundamental
theories of learning.</li></ul>
<p>"Each network is expected to engage in both of the following activities:</p>
<ol><li>Partnership-building activities among the network
participants to optimize scientific exchange for the co-design and
execution of network goals; and</li><li>Collaborative, exploratory research to be conducted by the network participants."</li></ol><p style="margin-left:40px"><a href="http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505176" target="_blank">http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505176</a><br></p>Grants are for up to $750,000 in total costs over 3 years.

projects that identify factors that are efficacious in the formation of
ethical STEM researchers in all the fields of science and engineering
that NSF supports. CCE STEM solicits proposals for research that
explores the following: ‘What constitutes ethical STEM research and
practice? Which cultural and institutional contexts promote ethical STEM
research and practice and why?' Factors one might consider include:
honor codes, professional ethics codes and licensing requirements, an
ethic of service and/or service learning, life-long learning
requirements, curricula or memberships in organizations (e.g. Engineers
without Borders) that stress social responsibility and humanitarian
goals, institutions that serve under-represented groups,
institutions where academic and research integrity are cultivated at
multiple levels, institutions that cultivate ethics across the
curriculum, or programs that promote group work, or do not grade. Do
certain labs have a ‘culture of academic integrity'? What practices
contribute to the establishment and maintenance of ethical cultures and
how can these practices be transferred, extended to, and integrated into
other research and learning settings?
<p>"Successful proposals typically have a comparative dimension, either
between or within institutional settings that differ along these or
other factors.</p>"CCE STEM research projects will use basic research to produce knowledge about what constitutes responsible or irresponsible, just or unjust scientific practices and sociotechnical systems, and how to best instill students with this knowledge." <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505027" target="_blank">http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505027</a><br><br>Standard Research Grants are $400,000 over 3 years, and Institutional Transformation
