Title: Online Resource Center for Ethics Education in Science and Engineering (ORCEESE)
Program: The program will fund one five-year award (2014-2018) to collect and curate multi-media materials (including research findings, pedagogical materials, and promising practices) for an online, state-of-the-art resource center that will support efforts by scientists and engineers to incorporate ethical issues and reasoning into their pedagogy and research. The online resource center should be creative, comprehensive, accessible, and evolving. The team will incorporate strategies and techniques to keep the Ethics Online Resource Center relevant and up to date.
Deadline: August 7, 2013

Title: Data-Intensive Research to Improve Teaching Learning – an Ideas Lab to Foster Transformative Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Program: The goal of this activity is to foster novel, transformative, multidisciplinary approaches that address the use of large data sets to create actionable knowledge for improving STEM teaching and learning environments (formal and informal) in the medium term, and to revolutionize learning in the longer term. These approaches will involve the work of learning scientists, STEM disciplinary experts, computer scientists, statisticians, database experts and educational researchers who design and study learning environments. Among the potential benefits of integrating approaches from these disciplines are improving student learning and engagement, optimizing personalized instruction, and supporting rapid decision making to help educators respond more effectively to the learning needs of individuals and groups of learners in multiple settings. These approaches may be risky but should have the potential to rapidly advance the field. The scope of this activity does not include infrastructure development focused on data base design and development for education domains. The new approaches envisioned in this solicitation will require the generation and use of data that range from micro-level data on individual learners, to data from online learning sources (such as massively open online courses), to meso-level data from the classroom that provide information to students and teachers about how learning is progressing, to macro-level data such as school, district, state, and national data, including data from federal science and policy agencies. Participants in the Ideas Lab, selected through an open application process, will engage in an intensive five-day residential workshop, the development of multidisciplinary collaborative proposals through a real-time and iterative review process, and, for the participant teams invited to submit full proposals, the subsequent submission of full proposals.
Deadline: Preliminary Proposal: August 19, 2013
Full Proposal: December 9, 2013

Title: Mentored Public Health Services Research Projects
Program: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in partnership with the National Coordinating Center for Public Health Services and Systems Research, is accepting applications for mentored research projects that examine the organization, financing, delivery, and quality of public health services and the resulting impact on population health.

Title: Andrew W. Mellon New Directions Fellowship
Program: The University of California, Santa Cruz has been invited to nominate one candidate for the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's New Directions Fellowship. This is an invitation-only submission process. It is a very prestigious award that covers salary for approximately one academic year and two summers of additional support (including release time from teaching, if required). Candidates for this program should be highly qualified scholars pursuing innovative research. New Directions Fellowship assist faculty members in the humanities and humanistic social sciences who received their doctorate between six and twelve years ago and who wish to acquire systematic training outside their own disciplines. The fellowships are looking to assist faculty whose research interests cross-disciplinary boundaries and call for formal training in a discipline other than the one in which they are expert. The nominee will be decided by a committee of Social Science and Humanities faculty members.
