Title:                            Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Program:                     The REU program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: (1)REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research. REU Sites may be based in a single discipline or academic department or may offer interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are welcome. (2) REU Supplements may be included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements or may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects.

Title:                            Cognitive Neuroscience
Program:                     The Cognitive Neuroscience Program seeks highly innovative and interdisciplinary proposals aimed at advancing a rigorous understanding of how the human brain supports thought, perception, affect, action, social processes, and other aspects of cognition and behavior, including how such processes develop and change in the brain and through time.

Title:                            Systems Science and Health in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (R01)
Program:                     encourages Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to develop basic and applied projects utilizing systems science methodologies relevant to human behavioral and social sciences and health. This FOA is intended to encourage a broader scope of topics to be addressed with systems science methodologies, beyond those encouraged by existing open FOAs. Research projects applicable to this FOA are those that are either applied or basic in nature (including methodological development), have a human behavioral and/or social science focus, and feature systems science methodologies.

Title:                            Research to Understand and Inform Interventions that Promote the Research Careers of Students in Biomedical and Behavioral Sciences (R01)
Program:                     This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications that propose research designed to test assumptions and hypotheses on the role of social and behavioral factors in interventions intended to increase interest, motivation and preparedness for careers in biomedical and behavioral research. These research findings should guide the design and implementation of potential interventions.

Funding Source:         NEH
Title:                            Summer Stipends
Program:                     Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources. Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two months. Summer Stipends support projects at any stage of development. Summer Stipends are awarded to individual scholars. Organizations are not eligible to apply. 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, 2013. 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, 2013 and have until September 26, 2013 to complete and submit their NEH applications.

Title:                            Residential Fellowships
Program:                     Offers a residential postdoctoral fellowship program for scientists and scholars from this country and abroad.  Since 1954, CASBS fellowships have been awarded to scholars working in a diverse range of disciplines.  These include the five core social and behavioral disciplines of anthropology, economics, political science, psychology and sociology as well as scholars from a wide range of humanistic disciplines.

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.
Internal deadline:        September 19, 2013

UC

Funding Source:         UCOP
Title:                            Innovation Learning Technology Initiative
Program:                     This is an opportunity to tap into considerable UCOP funding for cross-campus courses and to impact course availability and modes of delivery.
Proposals can be for multi-campus courses (ILTI may provide TA funding for other campuses), and for online modules that may help multiple courses throughout the system. Course proposals are DUE SEPTEMBER 1 and so rapid organization is required.  Interested faculty should be sure to keep their department and dean up to date, upload their proposal, and provide a copy of their final proposal to cpevc@ucsc.edu.
FITC on campus (Jim Phillips, jphilli1@ucsc.edu) and Extension in Santa Clara (Lynda Rogers, lro@ucsc.edu) would be happy to discuss course structures, and VPDUE (Richard Hughey, rph@ucsc.edu) would be happy to discuss need and demonstration of need as part of the proposal process.  Summer Session (Monica Parikh, monicap@ucsc.edu) is highly interested in the development of online courses as well, especially for UC Santa Cruz students who may not reside in Santa Cruz for the summer. Summer offerings could be part of the availability strategy.

Title:                            Post-Doctoral Fellowships in the Humanities
Program:                     The Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities (IPRH) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, seeks to hire two Post-Doctoral Fellows for two-year appointments starting in Fall 2014. The Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellows in the Humanities will spend the two-year term in residence at Illinois, will conduct research on the proposed project, and will teach two courses per year in the appropriate academic department.

Each Post-Doctoral Fellow will give a public lecture on his or her research. The search for Mellon Fellows is open to scholars in all humanities disciplines, but we seek applicants whose work falls into one of the following broad subject areas:
Race and Diaspora Studies
History of Science/Technology
Empire and Colonial Studies
Memory Studies
