Title: Enhancing Access to the Radio Spectrum (EARS)
Program: The NSF Directorates for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Engineering, Computer and Information Science and Engineering, and Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences are coordinating efforts to identify bold new concepts with the potential to contribute to significant improvements in the efficiency of radio spectrum utilization, and in the ability for traditionally underserved Americans to benefit from current and future wireless-enabled goods and services. EARS seeks to fund innovative collaborative research that transcends the traditional boundaries of existing programs, such as research that spans disciplines covered by two or more of the participating NSF directorates.

Title: NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99)
Program: The primary purpose of the Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) program is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented NIH-supported independent investigators. The program is designed to facilitate a timely transition from a mentored postdoctoral research position to a stable independent research position with independent NIH or other independent research support at an earlier stage than is currently the norm.

Title: Building and Enhancing Criminal Justice Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships
Program: NIJ seeks proposals for the funding of multiple criminal justice research projects involving researcher-practitioner partnerships as well as capturing, in detail, relevant accounts of these collaborations. This solicitation specifically aims to support criminal justice research and evaluation activities that include a researcher-practitioner partnership component. Within the context of the proposed research or evaluation project, these partnerships can be new or ongoing. Results from these projects should lead to better criminal justice policy, practice, and research, especially for the participating practitioner partners.

Title: Lydia Donaldson Tutt-Jones Memorial Research Grant
Program: This grant provides financial support to students and professionals who conduct research to study African American success, particularly in the area of education. It is offered to encourage the building of the science of African American success by studying those attitudes and behaviors that cause people to attain academic success. Eligible subjects are psychology, education, sociology, and African American Studies. The research can focus upon early childhood education, student performance in the elementary, middle, or high school years, as well as the attitudes and behaviors that help individuals finish college and graduate school. It can also focus upon parental behaviors that contribute to student success, as well as related home and community variables that promote excellence in educational performance. The research must be conducted in the United States. By focusing upon the strategies that are working well for many highly successful African Americans nationwide and spreading the word about these successful strategies, the AASF can help educational institutions, social service agencies, public policy makers, and other concerned citizens replicate these successes for many others in the years to come.
