<http://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/stem-funding>**1) *The
National Institutes of Health have reissued their *NCI Mentored Career
Development Awards* FOAs. All three programs provide early career support
(i.e., the first years after receiving the doctoral degree) for researchers
from groups underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, and clinical
sciences. An intent of these awards is to provide "a sustained period of
protected time for intensive research career development under the guidance
of an experienced mentor." The three programs each address a different
research career track:

*NCI Mentored Research Scientist Development Award to Promote Diversity
(K01) *(http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-064.html):
"Candidates for this award must have a research or health-professional
doctoral degree or equivalent. Candidates with clinical degrees (e.g., MD)
may wish to consider the NCI Mentored Clinical Scientist Award to Promote
Diversity Award (K08) and candidates interested in patient-oriented
research may wish to consider the NCI Mentored Patient-Oriented Research to
Promote Diversity Award (K23) as more appropriate alternatives relative to
their stage of development and career goals."

*The NCI Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award to
Promote Diversity (K08)* (
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-060.html): "Candidates
for this award must have a clinical doctoral degree. Such degrees include,
but are not limited to, the MD, DO, DDS, DMD, OD, DC, Phar.D., ND (Doctor
of Naturopathy), and DVM. Individuals with the PhD or other doctoral degree
in clinical disciplines such as clinical psychology, nursing, clinical
genetics, speech-language pathology, audiology or rehabilitation are also
eligible. Individuals with a clinical doctoral degree interested in
pursuing a career in patient-oriented research should refer to the NIH
Mentored Patient Oriented Research Career Development Award. (K23)."

*NCI Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award to Promote
Diversity (K23)* (
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-062.html): "Candidates
for this award should have broad clinical training, must demonstrate
competence in clinical activities, must document a serious intent for a
research career in patient-oriented clinical oncology, and must document
sensitivity to cultural issues impinging upon the practice of medicine
among the major U.S. ethnic populations. Candidates for this award must
have a health-professional doctoral degree. Such degrees include but are
not limited to the MD, DO, DD.S, DMD, OD, DC, PharmD, ND (Doctor of
Naturopathy), as well as a doctoral degree in nursing research or practice."

For all three Mentored Career Development Awards, the grant provides
$100,000/year for salary and $30,000/year for research development costs
for up to 5 years. Proposal due dates follow NIH's standard cycle
<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/submissionschedule.htm>: the next
deadline for K series grants is February 12.

*2) The NCI Transition Career Development Award to Promote Diversity (K22)*
(http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-063.html) has goals
that are similar to the Mentored Career Development Awards described above,
but it is intended to support researchers who are finishing the postdoc
phase of their career: "This award provides 'protected time' through salary
and research support for the initial 3 years of the first independent
tenure-track faculty position, or its equivalent. Appropriate K22
applications are expected, but not required, to address problems that are
pertinent to cancer health disparities and the biology, etiology,
pathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis, control, and/or treatment of human
cancer."

The grant provides $100,000/year for salary and $50,000/year for research
development costs for up to 3 years. Proposal due dates follow NIH's standard
cycle <http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/submissionschedule.htm>: the
next deadline for K series grants is February 12. (This grant is similar to
the NCI Transition Career Development Award (K22) (
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-056.html))

*3) OSU Outreach and Engagement Grants information session:* The final
information session for the O&E grants program (Engagement Impact Grants,
OSU CARES/OSU Extension Seed Grants, and Service-Learning Grants) will be
held Thursday, January 22 from 11am–12 noon. For more information about the
information session and the O&E grants program, visit
http://outreachgrants.osu.edu/

*4) NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education webinar:* NSF will be
offering another webinar on Tuesday, December 16 at 1pm to help prospective
applicants to the IUSE: EHR program (see http://go.osu.edu/iuse for more
about IUSE). Compared to previous IUSE webinars, this webinar will focus
more specifically on Design and Development level proposals. To register,
