[STEM-funding] NIH RISE; NSF ECR

[Christopher Andersen]

*1) NIH Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement:* NIH has reissued
the NIGMS RISE funding announcement (
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-196.html):

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) will award
Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) research education
grants (R25) to institutions focused on developing new or expanding
existing effective institutional developmental programs designed to
academically and scientifically prepare underrepresented (UR) students in
the biomedical or behavioral sciences for competitive research careers. The
RISE program provides grants to institutions with significant enrollment of
students from populations underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral
sciences that propose well-integrated developmental activities designed to
strengthen students’ academic preparation, research training and
professional skills that are critical to the completion of the Ph.D. degree
in the biomedical and/or behavioral sciences.

Proposals are due June 20, 2013.

*2) NSF EHR Core Research:* NSF has announced a new funding opportunity
(ECR) (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504924). From the
program synopsis:

The EHR Core Research (ECR) program establishes a mechanism in the
Directorate for Education and Human Resources to provide funding in
foundational research areas that are broad, essential and enduring. EHR
seeks proposals that will help synthesize, build and/or expand research
foundations in the following core areas: STEM learning, STEM learning
environments, workforce development, and broadening participation in STEM.
We invite researchers to identify and conduct research on questions or
issues in order to advance the improvement of STEM learning in general, or
to address specific challenges of great importance. Two types of proposals
are invited: *Core Research Proposals* (maximum 5 years, $1.5 million) that
propose to study a foundational research question/issue designed to inform
the transformation of STEM learning and education and *Capacity Building
Proposals* (maximum 3 years, $300,000) intended to support groundwork
necessary for advancing research within the four core areas.

Proposals are due July 12, 2013.
