Title:                            Research Network Centers
Program:                     The goal of the RCN program is to advance a field or create new directions in research or education by supporting groups of investigators to communicate and coordinate their research, training and educational activities across disciplinary, organizational, geographic and international boundaries. RCN provides opportunities to foster new collaborations, including international partnerships, and address interdisciplinary topics. Innovative ideas for implementing novel networking strategies, collaborative technologies, and development of community standards for data and meta-data are especially encouraged. RCN awards are not meant to support existing networks; nor are they meant to support the activities of established collaborations. RCN awards do not support primary research. RCN supports the means by which investigators can share information and ideas, coordinate ongoing or planned research activities, foster synthesis and new collaborations, develop community standards, and in other ways advance science and education through communication and sharing of ideas.

Title:                            Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) (R25)
Program:                     The purpose of the Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) Program is to develop the pool of a diverse group of highly trained undergraduate and graduate students who go on to research careers and will be available to participate in NIH-funded research. The program provides institutional grants to research-intensive institutions that propose well-integrated developmental activities designed to increase students' academic preparation and skills that are critical to the completion of the Ph.D. degree in biomedical and behavioral sciences.

Funding Source:         NIJ
Title:                            NIJ Applied Research and Development in Forensic Science for Criminal Justice Purposes
Program:                     With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for applied research and development projects that will: (1) increase knowledge or understanding necessary to guide forensic science policy and practice or (2) result in the production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods that have the potential for forensic application. The intent of the Applied Research and Development in Forensic Science for Criminal Justice Purposes Program is to direct the findings of basic scientific research, research and development in broader scientific fields applicable to forensic science, and ongoing forensic science research toward the development of highly discriminating, accurate, reliable, cost-effective, and rapid methods for the identification, analysis, and interpretation of physical evidence for criminal justice purposes.

Foundations

Funding Source:         Russell Sage Foundation
Title:                            Project Awards
Program:                     The Sage Foundation's awards are restricted to support for basic social science research within its announced programs, which include the following:
1. Future of work
2. Immigration
3. Cultural contact
4. Social inequality
5. Behavioral economics
The foundation mainly provides support for analyzing data and writing up results, but it occasionally considers larger awards for data acquisition projects highly relevant to its program goals. Grantees are expected to publish the results of their research.
