1) From the *OSU Outreach and Engagement Grants* webpage (
http://outreachgrants.osu.edu/):

*Engagement Impact Grants* (up to $60,000 each) support innovative outreach
and engagement scholarship that connects academic excellence with societal
needs; enhance partnerships between interdisciplinary university teams and
the community; and enhance development of a unit’s outreach and engagement
mission in support of their respective strategic plans.
http://outreach.osu.edu/funding.php

OSU CARES Seed Grants (up to $10,000 each) support innovative outreach and
engagement work with Ohioans; interdisciplinary work that partners Ohio
State units and OSU Extension; and initiatives that, once seeded through
this funding, will expand Ohio State’s engagement and OSU Extension’s work
with the community. http://osucares.osu.edu/grantsprogram.htm

*Service-Learning Grants* (up to $3,000 or $4,000 each) support the
development of new and enrichment of existing service-learning courses that
address community goals in areas such as health, community safety, youth,
housing, and education; and support the integration of student philanthropy
into service-learning courses. http://service-learning.osu.edu/grants.html
Proposals are due March 8, 2013. An information session will be held
Friday, March 1 at noon in conference room 101 at 33 W. 11th Avenue--RSVP
to outreach at osu.edu.

2) NSF Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering:* The
National Science Foundation has released a revised solicitation for its NUE
program (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13656). From the
program description:

NUE in Engineering emphasizes new approaches to undergraduate engineering
education through interdisciplinary collaborations. These collaborations
could lead to, but are not limited to:

   - A freshman course introducing the basic phenomena and processes at the
   nanoscale, the unifying principle of matter at the nanoscale, connections
   to other disciplines, and application areas of societal relevance;
   - New examples of undergraduate nanoscale engineering courses that are
   presented through the development of laboratory and demonstration
   experiments, manuals and other written materials, software, and web-based
   resources;
   - Development and dissemination of new teaching modules for nanoscale
   engineering of relevance to engineering education that can be used in
   existing undergraduate courses;
   - Incorporation of undergraduate research opportunities in nanoscale
   engineering into the curriculum at any level; and
   - Development of courses or curricular enhancements related to nanoscale
   engineering and technology and environmental or social change.

Budgets may be up to $200,000 across 2 years. Proposals are due May 22,
2013.

*3) NSF Broadening Participation Research Initiation Grants in Engineering
(BRIGE):* NSF has released a revised solicitation for its BRIGE program (
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503160). From the program
synopsis:

The Broadening Participation Research Initiation Grants in Engineering
(BRIGE) solicitation is designed to promote the development of early career
faculty who will become champions for diversity and broadening
participation of underrepresented groups in engineering throughout their
careers. BRIGE awards will enable early career faculty to integrate
effective diversity and broadening participation strategies in their
engineering research, education, and innovation activities.

Throughout this solicitation, the term underrepresented groups will refer
to and include the following: women, persons with disabilities, and
ethnic/racial groups that are in the minority in engineering, which include
African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native
Pacific Islanders.

Budgets may be up to $175,000 across 2 years. Proposals are due April 29,
2013.

*4) NIH Team-Based Design in Biomedical Engineering Education* (R25): The
National Institutes of Health have reissued the announcement for the
Team-Based Design in Biomedical Engineering Education program (
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-111.html). From the
funding opportunity purpose:

This FOA, issued by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and
Bioengineering (NIBIB) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), encourages applications from
institutions that propose to establish new or to enhance existing
team-based design courses in undergraduate Biomedical Engineering
departments or programs. This FOA targets undergraduate students at the
senior level but may also include junior undergraduates and first-year
graduate students. Courses that address innovative and/or ground-breaking
development, multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary training and clincial
immersion are especially encouraged.

Direct costs of up to $20,000 per year may be requested, for up to five
years. Programs that include a clinical immersion program outside the
academic year may request an additional $20,000 to cover participant
stipends. Proposals are due May 13, 2013.

*5) NIH Summer Research Experience Programs* (R25): NIH has reissued the
announcement for the Summer Research Program (
http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-104.html). From the
funding opportunity purpose:

The purpose of the NIH Summer Research Experience Program (referred to as
the “Summer Research Program”) is to provide a high quality research
experience for high school and college students and for science teachers
during the summer academic break.  The NIH expects that such programs will:
help attract young students to careers in science; provide opportunities
for college students to gain valuable research experience to help prepare
them for graduate school; and enhance the skills of science teachers and
enable them to more effectively communicate the nature of the scientific
process to their students.  The programs would also contribute to enhancing
overall science literacy.  Summer Research Programs that expand and
complement existing summer educational and training programs are encouraged.

Budgets can be up to $100,000 (direct costs) for up to five years.
Proposals are due April 2, 2013.
