<http://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/stem-funding>**1) OSU
Outreach and Engagement Impact Grants:* The Ohio State Office of Outreach
and Engagement has announced the RFPs for its 2015 grants programs (
http://outreachgrants.osu.edu):
<http://outreachgrants.osu.edu>
- *Engagement Impact Grants* (up to $60,000 each) support innovative
teams that apply engagement scholarship to address societal challenges by
establishing partnerships with the citizens of Ohio, the nation, and the
world so communities become a part of the exciting work – teaching,
research, service – of our university.
- *OSU CARES/OSU Extension Seed Grants* (up to $25,000 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.
- *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

*2) NSF MPS Graduate Research Supplement for Veterans (MPS-GRSV):* The NSF
Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) is accepting
requests for supplements to current MPS research awards in order to support
an additional Ph.D. student who is a veteran. This funding opportunity is
described in a "Dear Colleague" letter (
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2015/nsf15024/nsf15024.jsp)
*3) The NIH Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series (R13)* aims to
bring together academic institutions and community organizations to
identify opportunities for reducing health disparities (
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-032.html). From the
funding opportunity announcement:
The objectives of meetings conducted as part of this award will be to: (1)
establish and/or enhance existing academic-community partnerships; (2)
identify community-driven research priorities; and (3) develop long-term
collaborative CBPR research agendas. Thus, it is expected these
partnerships will lead to grant applications for the support of CBPR
projects designed to meet identified community needs. The areas of focus
for these partnerships may include one or more of the following
community-health issues: preterm birth; infant mortality; sudden infant
death syndrome (SIDS); maternal mortality; reproductive health; uterine
fibroid tumors; childhood, adolescent, and/or adult obesity; violence
prevention; perinatal HBV and HIV/AIDS prevention; HIV/AIDS prevention;
asthma; intellectual and developmental disabilities; pediatric injury
prevention; and medical rehabilitation.
Applicants may request direct costs of up to $30,000 per year for up to
three years. Proposals are due January 29.
*4) OSU College of Medicine AHEC Community Engagement Grant:* To encourage
community engagement work targeting underserved populations, the OSU Area
Health Education Center (AHEC) will offer up to 4 grants of $5,000 for
proposals from Health Sciences, Social Work, and FAES/Extension faculty.
Funding preference will be for faculty-lead projects which involve trainees
in addressing important community health-related needs.
The project period is February 15, 2015 – June 30, 2016. The Request for
Proposals and Application can be found at
http://medicine.osu.edu/orgs/ahec/grantprogram/pages/index.aspx
Applications are due January 15, 2015.

292-2508.
*5) NSF Increasing College Opportunity Through Improved Mathematics Success
in the First Two Years of College: *the NSF Directorate for Education and
Human Resources (EHR) is providing supplemental funding to existing awards,
Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) funding, or funding
for conferences to support "innovative, early-stage work to improve success
in mathematics in the first two years of college. This includes studies on
ways to improve the learning of the content of developmental mathematics,
independent of setting, and design and development work on interventions
and tools, including technology-enhanced learning approaches." This funding
opportunity is described in a "Dear Colleague" letter (
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2015/nsf15026/nsf15026.jsp?WT.mc_id=USNSF_80).
Proposals should be submitted by May 1.
*6) NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education:* NSF is using "Improving
Undergraduate STEM Education" (IUSE) as an umbrella for many of the
agency's funding initiatives concerning undergraduate education. It's a bit
confusing to try to follow the changes, so I've assembled what I've heard
at http://go.osu.edu/iuse.
In previous messages, I shared:
- *Improving Undergraduate STEM Education* (IUSE: EHR) (RFP is 14-588
<http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505082>)
- *IUSE/Professional Formation of Engineers: Revolutionizing Engineering
Departments* (RED) (14-602
<http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505105>)
- *Support for Including Science Educators in Polar Research* (14-122
<http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2014/nsf14122/nsf14122.jsp>)
Recently, NSF announced two new funding opportunities under the IUSE
umbrella:
- *Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Pathways into Geoscience
(IUSE: GEOPATHS) *(http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505169).
From the program synopsis:
- *"IUSE: GEOPATHS* invites proposals that specifically address the
current needs and opportunities related to undergraduate education within
the geosciences community. The primary goal of the *IUSE: GEOPATHS*
funding opportunity is to increase the number of undergraduate students
interested in pursuing undergraduate degrees and/or post-graduate degrees
in geoscience through the design and testing of novel approaches for
engaging students in authentic, career-relevant experiences in
geoscience.
In order to broaden participation in the geosciences, engaging
undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented groups or from
non-geoscience degree programs is a priority. The *IUSE: GEOPATHS*
solicitation features two funding Tracks: (1) Engaging students in the
geosciences through extra-curricular experiences and training activities (
*GEOPATHS-EXTRA*), and (2) Improving pathways into the geosciences
through institutional collaborations and transfer (*GEOPATHS-IMPACT*)."
- "Maximum total award size will be $500,000 in funding, with the
average total award size expected to be in the $300,000 to
$350,000 range.
The duration of awards for both tracks will be up to 36 months."
Letters of
intent (required) are due January 5, and full proposals are due March 16.
- *Research Coordination Networks Undergraduate Biology Education
(RCN-UBE)* (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=11691). From
the program solicitation:
- "Targeted Undergraduate Biology Education track. BIO and EHR
(Division of Undergraduate Education-DUE) have developed a targeted
Undergraduate Biology Education track (RCN-UBE) in recognition of the
importance of networking activities to advance biology
education. Although
the primary focus is on undergraduate education, novel ideas for graduate
education will also be considered. RCN-UBE proposals could focus on
improving learning in "gateway" courses (e.g., exploring the use
of methods
that foster active learning or inquiry-based learning),
improving learning
through the use of emerging technologies in the biology curriculum,
strategies and approaches for engaging biology faculty in professional
development activities related to undergraduate education, incorporating
emerging sub-disciplines into the biology curriculum (e.g., informatics
research, proteomics, systems and computational biology), improving
assessment of student learning, improving the transition of students from
two-year to four-year institutions, or incorporating authentic research
experiences in undergraduate laboratory courses, with an emphasis on
introductory and lower division courses."
- "RCN-UBE proposals can be up to 5 years in duration and budgets
should not exceed $500,000. To assist initial networking efforts of
scientists and educators who are developing innovative proposals for the
RCN-UBE track, the RCN-UBE track will accept Incubator proposals
for up to
$50,000 for one year." Proposals are due March 2.
*IUSE webinar on Undergraduate Education for Pre-service STEM Teachers:*
This autumn, NSF has offered a series of informational webinars about the
IUSE: EHR grant program (videorecordings of the webinars can be viewed at
http://www.nsflsu.com/nsf-iuse-webinar-recordings-september-and-november-2014.html.
Another webinar will be offered Friday, December 12 at 3pm that will focus
on pre-service STEM teacher education within the IUSE: EHR. Register at
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1613021304229838081
*7) The NIH Short-Term Research Education Program to Increase Diversity in
Health-Related Research (R25)* (
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-16-008.html) supports
"educational activities that enhance the diversity of the biomedical,
behavioral, and clinical research workforce in the mission areas of
importance to NHLBI (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute). To
accomplish the stated goal, this funding opportunity announcement
encourages the development of creative educational activities with a
primary focus on Research Experiences."
"Institutional annual direct costs should typically not exceed $330,104,"
and projects "may not exceed 5 years." Proposals are due February 18, and
Letters of Intent are due "30 days prior."
