Title: EHR Core Research (ECR)
Program: The ECR program establishes a mechanism in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources to provide funding in foundational research areas that are broad, essential and enduring. EHR seeks proposals that will help synthesize, build and/or expand research foundations in the following core areas: STEM learning, STEM learning environments, workforce development, and broadening participation in STEM. We invite researchers to identify and conduct research on questions or issues in order to advance the improvement of STEM learning in general, or to address specific challenges of great importance. Two types of proposals are invited: Core Research Proposal s(maximum 5 years, $1.5 million) that propose to study a foundational research question/issue designed to inform the transformation of STEM learning and education and Capacity Building Proposals (maximum 3 years, $300,000) intended to support groundwork necessary for advancing research within the four core areas.

Funding Source: California EPA/Air Resources Board
Title: The California Air Resources Board (ARB) is extending the deadline for its solicitation for brief research ideas from the general public as part of its 2014-2015 research planning process. Research ideas submitted by the previous deadline (January 31, 2013) do not need to be re-submitted; all submissions will be evaluated after the new May 31, 2013 deadline. Research ideas are limited to 200 words and should very clearly articulate why the idea is relevant to ARB’s policies and/or programs. It should include clearly stated research objective(s), a very brief description of methods that could or would be employed, and what the final product or deliverable of the research would be. Information on time and funding needed to conduct the research is helpful but not required. You may wish to review ARB’s programs or previous research plans. Only ideas that clearly demonstrate policy relevance to ARB will be considered.
Deadline: May 31, 2013

Title; IHR Research Clusters 2013-14
Program: This program is designed to encourage and support research in any area of the Humanities. In addition to programming (e.g., conferences, workshops, seminars, visiting scholars), we encourage the clusters to view this as seed funding and to think about ways the cluster can serve as an incubator for larger projects in the future (e.g., websites and other digital projects, edited volumes, the establishment of research centers, NEH Summer Seminars, UC multi-campus research groups etc.) and how they can leverage cluster funds to secure extramural funding. Preference will be given to clusters that have not already received multiple years of funding, though all proposals will be considered.
Deadline: May 24, 2013

Title: UCEC Institute for Training in Educational Evaluation
Program: The University of California Educational Evaluation Center (UCEC) offers an excellent opportunity for graduate students in the University of California system to participate in an intensive training in educational evaluation over a period of three days. Participants will attend method, theory, and skill-based workshops in educational evaluation conducted by nationally recognized UC scholars. Additionally, graduate students will have the opportunity to share their individual research interests and receive feedback from UC professors and other graduate students from a variety of disciplines who are also interested in educational evaluation.

Title: Drug Abuse Dissertation (R36)
Program: The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) announces the availability of NIH Dissertation Award grants (R36) to support drug abuse doctoral dissertation research in NIDA areas of priority (http://www.drugabuse.gov/funding/funding-priorities ). Areas of focus include research on basic and clinical neuroscience and behavior, developmental trajectories, epidemiology, prevention, treatment, services, and/or women and sex/gender differences. Grant support is designed to encourage doctoral candidates from a variety of academic disciplines and programs to conduct research in these areas of interest to NIDA. It is hoped that this program will ultimately facilitate the entry of promising new investigators into the field of drug abuse research and promote transdisciplinary collaborations.
