NIST Solicitations – May 2011

New Measurement Capabilities to Enable Nanoscale Manipulation and Magnetic Imaging of the Next Generation of Magnetic Materials and Patterned Devices —  NIST has a requirement for modifications to the Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis (SEMPA) tool in the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST). The SEMPA tool is a JEOL 7830F Auger microprobe that has been modified to enable secondary electron spin polarization measurements using custom spin polarization analyzers developed at NIST.
One of the primary missions of CNST is to support industry in the development and characterization of future electronics.
SEMPA plays a key role in characterizing future electronics based on nanoscale magnetism. Read more

NASA Solicitations – May 2011

ROA 2010: B.9 Atmospheric Environment Safety Technologies (AEST) – This ROA NASA NRA solicits fundamental research proposals for the five programs within ARMD: the Airspace Systems Program, the Aviation Safety Program, the Fundamental Aeronautics Program, the Integrated Systems Research Program, and the Aeronautics Test Program. The Airspace Systems Program will directly address the Air Traffic Management (ATM) research needs of the Next Generation Air Transportation Systems (NextGen) initiative as defined by the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO). The Aviation Safety Program will take a proactive approach to safety challenges with new and current vehicles operating in the Nation’s current and future air transportation system. Read more

NIH Solicitations – May 2011

Support of NIGMS Program Project Grants (P01) – This FOA issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences encourages innovative, interactive program project grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to conduct research which aims to solve a significant biological problem, important for the mission of NIGMS, through a collaborative approach involving outstanding scientists who might not otherwise collaborate. The program project grant mechanism is designed to support research in which the funding of several interdependent projects as a group offers significant scientific advantages over support of these same projects as individual regular research grants.

CDC Solicitations – May 2011

Public Health Surveillance of Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism – The purpose of the program is to develop and evaluate pilot programs for population based surveillance of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Given the complexity of diagnosis and care of DVT and PE, CDC is evaluating models and methods to effectively and validly estimate the public health burden of DVT and PE in the United States. The purpose of public health surveillance is to assess public health status, define public health priorities, evaluate programs, and stimulate research. Read more
