Title: Science, Technology & Society (STS)
Program: STS considers proposals for scientific research into the interface between science (including engineering) or technology, and society. STS researchers use diverse methods including social science, historical, and philosophical methods. Successful proposals will be transferrable (i.e., generate results that provide insights for other scientific contexts that are suitably similar). They will produce outcomes that address pertinent problems and issues at the interface of science, technology and society, such as those having to do with practices and assumptions, ethics, values, governance, and policy.
Deadline: August 1, 2012

Title: Perception Cognition and Action (PAC)
Program: Supports research on perception, action and cognition. Emphasis is on research strongly grounded in theory. Central research topics for consideration by the Perception, Action, and Cognition panel include vision, audition, haptics, attention, memory, reasoning, written and spoken discourse, and motor control. The program encompasses a wide range of theoretical perspectives, such as symbolic computation, connectionism, ecological, nonlinear dynamics, and complex systems, and a variety of methodologies including both experimental studies and modeling. The PAC program is open to co-review of proposals submitted to other programs (e.g., Linguistics, Developmental and Learning Sciences, Cognitive Neuroscience, etc). Proposals may involve clinical populations, animals, or computational modeling only if the work has direct impact on basic issues of human perception, action, or cognition.

Title: NIH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings
Program: The purpose of the NIH Research Conference (R13) Grant and NIH Research Conference Cooperative Agreement (U13) Programs is to support high quality conferences that are relevant to the public health and to the scientific mission of the participating Institutes and Centers.

Title: Upward Bound Math and Science Program - CFDA 84.047M
Program: The Upward Bound (UB) Program is one of the seven programs known as the Federal TRIO Programs, which provide postsecondary educational support for qualified individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. The UB Program is a discretionary grant program that supports projects designed to provide the skills and motivation necessary to complete a program of secondary education and to enter and succeed in a program of postsecondary education. There are three types of grants under the UB Program: regular UB grants, Veterans UB grants, and UB Math and Science (UBMS) grants.
Deadline: July 20, 2012

Title: NEH Summer Stipends
Program: The Summer Stipends program welcomes projects that respond to NEH’s Bridging Cultures initiative. Such projects could focus on cultures internationally or within the United States. International projects might seek to enlarge Americans’ understanding of other places and times, as well as other perspectives and intellectual traditions. American projects might explore the great variety of cultural influences on, and myriad subcultures within, American society. These projects might also investigate how Americans have approached and attempted to surmount seemingly unbridgeable cultural divides, or examine the ideals of civility and civic discourse that have informed this quest.
Internal Deadline: September 1, 2012
Internal Guidelines: The campus may submit up to two nominations. Interested applicants should prepare a project description (no longer than 3 pages) and email it as .pdf to ihr@ucsc.edu by September 1, 2012. A committee composed of three members of the participating divisions (Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences) will select the top two projects and send their recommendations to the Humanities Dean, the campus nominating official. The nominees will be notified by September 10, 2012 and have until September 27, 2012 to complete and submit their NEH applications.

Title: Public Health Services and systems Research: Mentored Research Scientist Development Awards
Program: Public Health Services and Systems Research is a multidisciplinary field of study that examines the organization, financing, delivery, and quality of public health services within communities and the resulting impact on population health. The National Coordinating Center for Public Health Services and Systems Research and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation seek to expand the evidence base for effective decision-making in public health practice and policy through research that responds to the questions defined in the National Agenda for PHSSR.
This call for proposals is designed to increase the PHSSR evidence base and strengthen the pool of researchers available to conduct PHSSR. Successful proposals will 1) build PHSSR evidence relevant to public health practitioners and policy-makers; and 2) provide support and protected time for an intensive, supervised career development experience to help junior faculty build research independence.

Title: The Community Stories Grants Program
Program: Community Stories (previously the California Story Fund) is a competitive grants program to support story-based public humanities projects that collect, preserve, interpret, and share the stories of California communities—past and present. Since 2003, we have awarded over $3 million to nearly 400 projects through this grant program that seeks to foster among us greater knowledge, understanding, and empathy.
Community Stories funds projects that focus on the collection and sharing of real stories of California’s communities. Projects must involve at least one humanities expert as an advisor, use the methods of analysis that inform the humanities as well as community-based research, and produce work that is publicly accessible. Application eligibility is limited to California-based nonprofit organizations or local/state public agencies or institutions. Grant awards range up to $10,000 and a cash or in-kind match is required.
Deadline: August 1, 2012
