2012 Other Opportunities
- HUD Section 202 Demonstration Pre-Development Grant Program
The purpose of this Demonstration Pre-Development Grant program is to assist Sponsors of projects that receive Fund Reservation Awards pursuant to the FY 2010 NOFA for the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program, as amended to include FY 2011 appropriations, by providing pre-development grant funding for architectural and engineering work, site control, and other planning related expenses that are eligible for funding under the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program. Subsequent to providing pre-development grant funding to the selected applicants, HUD will assess the impact of the availability of such funding on the ability of project Sponsors to expedite the development processing of projects from Section 202 Fund Reservation to Initial Closing within 18 months. HUD is aware of the complexities of developing Section 202 projects and understands that a lack of pre-development funding may be a contributing factor in many instances where project Sponsors are not able to move their approved projects from Fund Reservation award to Initial Closing within the required 18-month time frame. Funding under this program is not intended to duplicate Section 202 Capital Advance funding, but rather to provide a source of funding for pre-development costs that would otherwise not be reimbursable until Initial Closing or would be payable from eligible funding resources secured outside of Section 202 Capital Advance funding.

- Smart Health and Wellbeing
Through the Smart Health and Wellbeing (SHB) Program, NSF seeks to address fundamental technical and scientific issues that would support much needed transformation of healthcare from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive, proactive, evidence-based, person-centered and focused on wellbeing rather than disease. The issues to be addressed include, but are not limited to, sensor technology, networking, information and machine learning technology, modeling cognitive processes, system and process modeling, and social and economic issues. Effective technology-based solutions must satisfy a multitude of constraints arising from clinical needs, social interactions, cognitive limitations, barriers to behavioral changes, heterogeneity of data, semantic mismatch and limitations of current cyberphysical systems. The high degree of complexity and broad range of the problems require multidisciplinary teams of scientists and engineers to identify and address barriers limiting quality of life, independence for chronically ill and elder individuals, and other aspects of wellbeing. Fundamental technological advances are also needed to understand the impediments that prevent people from engaging in health-promoting life styles including diet and exercise and from participating in their healthcare decisions.Proposers are invited to submit proposals in two project classes, which are defined as follows:Type I: Exploratory Projects (EXP) - $200,000 to $600,000 total budget with durations from two to three years; andType II: Integrative Projects (INT) - $600,001 to $2,000,000 total budget with durations from four to five yearsA more complete description of the project classes can be found in section II.

- Health and Aging Policy Fellows
Supported by The Atlantic Philanthropies and in collaboration with the American Political Science Association Congressional Fellowship Program, this national program provides professionals with a demonstrated commitment to health and aging issues with a remarkable opportunity to understand and impact policy.
The program offers two different tracks:
(1) Residential fellows work full-time in a nine-to-12-month placement (in the US Senate or House of Representatives, executive agencies, or 'think tank' organizations).
(2) Non-residential fellows remain in their current positions while working on a specific policy project which may involve brief placement(s) throughout the year at relevant sites.
Core program components focused on an extensive orientation and retreats on health, aging and legislative issues and processes, career development, mentorship and professional enrichment are provided for fellows in both tracks.
The application deadline for the 2012-2013 fellowship year is May 15, 2012.

- Develop and implement methods to promulgate and replicate successful or promising policy interventions. Activities may include developing and implementing a strategy to communicate the value of a policy intervention or to spotlight or acknowledge successful policy implementation by convening a lecture series, developing educational and communications materials, coordinating an awards program to recognize successful policy efforts and initiatives, or placing "earned media" pieces. Activities may also include, developing key messages that convey the value of specific policies to support policy implementation or identifying model cross-sector stakeholder engagement strategies to inform policy formulation and implementation, including coordination of stakeholders in local and state government, business and private industry, public health, and health care delivery.
- Analyze, assess, and formulate, policy approaches based on evidence and current research on feasible, effective policies that improve health. Solicit stakeholder input and subject matter expertise to assist in drafting of relevant, feasible, and evidence-based policies.
