Limited Submissions
Limited submission programs have
sponsor restrictions on the number of
proposals that may be submitted by a
single institution and will require institutional screening to determine which
applications will be submitted. Dr. Jim
Guikema, Associate Vice President for
Research, is the internal coordinator for
limited submission programs. Please
notify him at 785-532-6195, email:
[email protected], by the Internal due
date listed in the Funding Bulletin (FB
42-1, 42-12) or by at least two months
prior to the sponsor deadline if you wish
to submit to a limited submission program. Currently posted Internal Deadlines: http://www.k-state.edu/research/

GENERAL
42-1 Major Research Instrumentation
Program (MRI) (NSF)
The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) serves to increase access to
shared scientific and engineering instruments for research and research training in
our Nation’s institutions of higher education, museums, science centers, and nonfor-profit organizations. The MRI program
assists with the acquisition or development
of shared research instrumentation that is,
in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. Instruments are expected to be
operational for regular research use by the
end of the award period. For the purposes
of the MRI program, proposals must be for
either acquisition or development of a single instrument or equipment that, when
combined, serves as an integrated research
instrument (physical or virtual). Cost-sharing at the level of 30% of the total project
cost is required for Ph.D.-granting institutions. Each organization is limited to three
proposals, only two of which may be for
instrument acquisition. (NSF 11-503)

42-2 Collaborations with National
Centers for Biomedical Computing
(R01) (NIH)
This funding opportunity announcement
(FOA) is for projects from individual
investigators or small groups to collaborate with the NIH Common Fund for
Medical Research National Centers for
Biomedical Computing (NCBCs). For a
description of the NCBCs see http://
www.ncbcs.org/. The intention of the
collaborating projects is to engage
researchers across the nation in building
an excellent biomedical computing environment, using the computational tools
and biological and behavioral application
drivers of the funded NCBCs as foundation stones. PAR-12-001 (NIHG 10/7/11)

42-3 Social Neuroscience and
Neuroeconomics of Aging (RO1)
(NIH)
The National Institute on Aging (NIA)
issues this Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) with special
review to stimulate interdisciplinary
aging-relevant research in the social,
affective and economic neurosciences.
The NIA invites applications examining
social, emotional and economic behaviors of relevance to aging, using
approaches that examine mechanisms
and processes at both a) the social,
behavioral or psychological (emotional,
cognitive, motivational) level, and b) the
neurobiological or genetic level. Applications should demonstrate either relevance for aging or for age differences or
age-related changes in these processes.
Aging-relevant applications can address
issues of importance to the well-being
and health of either mid-life or older
adults, and can include data spanning the
entire life course. PAR-11-337 (NIHG 9/

AGRICULTURE
42-4 Speciality Crop Research
Initiative (SCRI) (USDA)
The Specialty Crop Research Initiative
(SCRI) was established to solve critical
industry issues through research and
extension activities. SCRI will give priority to projects that are multistate,
multi-institutional, or trans-disciplinary;
and include explicit mechanisms to communicate results to producers and the
public. Projects must address at least one
of five focus areas: research in plant
breeding, genetics, and genomics to
improve crop characteristics; efforts to
identify and address threats from pests
and diseases, including threats to speciality crop pollinators; efforts to improve
production efficiency, productivity, and
profitability over the long term; new innovations and technology, including
improved mechanization and technologies that delay or inhibit ripening; and
methods to prevent, detect, monitor, control, and respond to potential food safety
hazards in the production and processing
of speciality crops. USDA-NIFASCRI_003562 (GG10/27/11)

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY
Program (NEH)
NEH is soliciting proposals from institutions to participate in the National Digital
Newspaper Program (NDNP). NDNP is
creating a national, digital resource of historically significant newspapers published
between 1836 and 1922, from all the
states and U.S. territories. This searchable
database will be permanently maintained
at the Library of Congress (LC) and be
freely accessible via the Internet. NEH
intends to support projects in all states
and U.S. territories, provided that sufficient funds allocated for this purpose are
available. One organization within each
U.S. state or territory will receive an
award to collaborate with relevant state
partners in this effort. Previously funded
projects will be eligible to receive supplements for continued work, but the program will give priority to new projects.

SOCIAL SCIENCES
42-13 Metadata for Long-standing
Large-Scale Social Science Surveys
(META-SSS) (SBE)
The American National Election Studies
(ANES), General Social Survey (GSS)
and Panel Study of Income Dynamics
(PSID) are long-term survey projects that
form key research infrastructure for the
social and behavioral sciences. The
ANES is a 60-year time series of survey
data collections that began in 1948. The
ANES conducts national surveys of the
American electorate during election years
as well as conducts research and development work through pilot studies. The GSS
has provided data on contemporary
American society since 1972, serving as a
barometer of social change and trends in
attitudes, behaviors, and attributes of the
United States adult population. Lastly, the
PSID is a longitudinal survey of a nationally representative sample of US families
that began in 1968. The PSID is the
world’s longest running nationally representative panel survey. With over forty
years of data on the same families and
their descendents, the PSID is considered
a cornerstone of the data infrastructure for
empirically-based social science research
in the US and the world. Over the course
of the extensive survey cycles the three
survey projects have accumulated important metadata, or data about data including technical reports, survey instruments
and other information that describe the
survey process. These metadata exist in
many different formats (text and non-textbased) and have been stored in different
ways. This solicitation seeks proposals
that will develop tools to bridge data collection and dissemination by first, collecting and coding metadata associated with
future waves of the ANES, GSS, and
PSID surveys as collection and processing techniques evolve; and second,
migrating (or retrofitting) metadata associated with earlier (i.e., legacy) waves of
these surveys into formats and schema
that are compatible with current and
future collection efforts. NSF 11-583
