The purpose of the award is to promote scientific productivity and innovation by providing long-term support and increased flexibility to experienced Program Directors (PDs)/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs) who are currently PDs/PIs on at least two NHLBI R01-equivalent awards and whose outstanding record of research demonstrate their ability to make major contributions to heart, lung, blood and sleep (HLBS) research. The NHLBI OIA is intended to support a research program, rather than a research project, by providing the primary and most likely sole source of NHLBI funding on individual grant awards. The NHLBI OIA will support the research program of NHLBI-funded investigators for up to seven years. The NHLBI OIA will provide investigators increased freedom to conduct research that breaks new ground or extends previous discoveries in new directions. It will also allow PDs/PIs to take greater risks and to pursue research that requires a longer timeframe. Research supported by the NHLBI OIA should be within the scope of the NHLBI mission (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/about/org/mission), sleep disorders closely-coupled to HLB outcomes, or basic sleep and circadian regulation.

SPIN ID Opportunity Title Sponsor Name Sponsor Number Deadline Date 45820 or federally owned, and operated by academic institutions within the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Most of these platforms and their associated facilities also receive partial support from other federal agencies, state and local governments, and private sources on a proportional basis. The scientific productivity of research programs conducted by the U.S. Academic Research Vessel Fleet is enhanced by providing technical support services to all users of the facility. Maintaining availability of qualified Technicians for ship-based research is a long-standing and proven method of optimizing technical support. Individual Operating Institutions employ and assign permanent Technicians to research vessels under their purview. However, there are frequent occasions in which it is necessary and desirable to hire temporary or part-time Technicians to meet unexpected or surge demands across the fleet. Procedures for meeting this requirement vary between Operating Institutions and are frequently inconsistent, complex and time consuming. This solicitation seeks to streamline the inherent inefficiencies in meeting varying demands for technical support by establishing a centrally managed Pool of Temporary and Part-time Technicians that can be made readily available to vessel Operating Institutions across the US Academic Research fleet. A single award is anticipated for Management of a centralized, UNOLS Technician Services Pool by a Technician Pool Host Institution (TPHI).

Researchers rely on a variety of networked technologies and software tools to achieve their scientific goals. These may include local or remote instruments, wireless sensors, software programs, operating systems, database servers, high-performance computing, large-scale storage, and other critical infrastructure connected by high-speed networking. This complex, distributed, interconnected global cyberinfrastructure ecosystem presents unique cybersecurity challenges. NSF-funded scientific instruments, sensors and equipment are specialized, highly-visible assets that present attractive targets for both unintentional errors and malicious activity; untrustworthy software or a loss of integrity of the data collected by a scientific instrument may mean corrupt, skewed or incomplete results. Furthermore, often data-driven research, e.g., in the medical field or in the social sciences, requires access to private information, and exposure of such data may cause financial, reputational and/or other damage. Therefore, an increasing area of focus for NSF is the development and deployment of hardware and software technologies and techniques to protect research cyberinfrastructure across every stage of the scientific workflow. 30224 Innovation Corps Teams Program (I-Corps Teams) 52232 Contact Name Rathindra DasGupta Contact Telephone 703-292-8353 Contact Email rdasgupt@nsf.gov Sponsor Website http://www.grants.gov/view-opportunity.html?oppid=196174 Program URL http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12602/nsf12602.htm Directorate for Biological Sciences/NSF 12-602 15-Mar-2017 Not Specified Synopsis The National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to develop and nurture a national innovation ecosystem that builds upon fundamental research to guide the output of scientific discoveries closer to the development of technologies, products and processes that benefit society.

April 2017 ADDITIONAL FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENTS Keeping children safe from harmful web-based information is MetComm's specialty. (646) 845-0061 Schools@metcomm.net Hello Mr. Davis, When schools receive E-rate funding, they must implement a CIPA-compliant "filter" against inappropriate web-based content and predators. This safeguard reassures parents that their children are protected when using the internet at school. Make content filtering part of your plan Though web content filtering is not a service discounted by E-rate, compliance with CIPA is mandatory. Failure to comply may cause E-rate funding to be revoked. Other Non-Federal Funding Opportunities Page 1
April 2017 ADDITIONAL FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENTS Filing deadlines for E-rate funding are April 13 th for a 470 application, and May 11 th for a 471 vendor assignment. Review the CIPA regulations and make sure you are in compliance. Make content-filtering part of your plan by contacting MetComm.Net today to discuss a filtering solution for you. MetComm.Net is a veteran of 19 years of service under E-rate. Mr. Davis, Here's what a school principal wrote about her experience with MetComm: "I inherited a technology company [that] caused me many problems with E-rate. When MetComm.Net approached me, I was hesitant to put my trust in their hands. I am very pleased to report they have gone above and beyond, becoming a most trusted partner and resource."
