  • Challenge: Identify Organisms from a Stream of DNA Sequences
  • Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) DOD
  • This Challenge seeks innovative algorithms to analyze samples that contain mixed segments of genetic sequence from next-generation sequencing instruments and report the identities of each organism represented in the sample and characterization of all non-host organisms. Technical details and requirements are available in the full description.
  • This is a Reduction-to-Practice Challenge that requires written documentation and delivery of source code implementing an algorithm that solves the problem. A real-time online scoring utility and leaderboard will be available for this Challenge beginning 13-Feb.
  • Awards $1M; Deadline: 5/31/13
  • More Information
  • Support Available for Activities at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis
  • National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS), University of Tennessee, Knoxville
  • March 1, 2013 is the deadline for requests for support for Working Groups, Investigative Workshops, Sabbaticals, and Short-term Visitors for activities beginning Fall 2013 at NIMBioS. All areas of research at the interface of biology and mathematics will be considered. NIMBioS is an NSF-sponsored initiative to foster interdisciplinary research at the interface between mathematical and biological sciences. The institute's mission is to cultivate cross-disciplinary approaches in mathematical biology and to develop a cadre of researchers who address fundamental and applied biological problems in creative ways. Other NIMBioS sponsors include DHS and USDA, with additional support from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. More details are posted at http://www.nimbios.org
  • The next deadline for requests for support for postdoctoral fellowships is September 1, 2013.

NIH Funding Opportunities

  • Funding Opportunity: Rapid Response Grants from Johns Hopkins Global Center on Childhood Obesity
  • Announced On: Jan 18, 2013
  • http://www.jhgcco.org/announcement_20130118.html
  • The NIH-funded Johns Hopkins Global Center on Childhood Obesity (JHGCCO) is seeking applications to jumpstart systems-oriented childhood obesity research in a rapidly changing physical and policy environment by supporting opportune rapid response pilot projects with timelines that would not allow funding through the regular NIH review cycles. Similar RFAs will be released semi-annually between 2011-2016. Visit the Center website at http://www.jhgcco.org/ for related information. We invite applications from investigators in the United States and globally for innovative rapid response pilot projects using “systems science” concepts or frameworks to examine time sensitive environmental mechanisms or policy changes related to the childhood obesity epidemic. See the RFA for a detailed description of what constitutes “systems science”. Projects should have the potential to inform the development or confirmation of community- or population-based interventions. Up to 3 projects this round, each up to $30,000 total costs, will be funded.
  • A Study Concept Summary is due on February 14, 2013, and invited full proposals are due on March 18, 2013.
  • Informational Teleconference: February 4, 2013, 11:00 AM (All times are U.S. Eastern Standard Time). Please register at: http://www.jhgcco.org/RRPC.html
  • Bridging the Gap Between Cancer Mechanism and Population Science (U01)
  • NCI, NIAAA
  • The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications for projects that bridge biological mechanism to population level scales. By incorporating insights and data from one end of the cancer research spectrum into the framework of the other, projects should be able to cross-validate data gathered at different scales, and explore links between basic biology, population science, and potential health applications in treatment, prevention, diagnosis, and/or screening. Proposed projects should pose a challenging cancer research question that can be addressed by connecting these two ends of the research spectrum that would be difficult to address or explain through biological or epidemiological investigation alone. Only a single cohesive project integrating aspects from these two areas is allowed in each application.
  • Application Due Date: March 8, 2013; October 4, 2013; etc.

NSF Funding Opportunities

  • Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation - SSE & SSI (SI2 - SSE&SSI)
Scientific discovery and innovation are advancing along fundamentally new pathways opened by development of increasingly sophisticated software. Software is also directly responsible for increased scientific productivity and significant enhancement of researchers' capabilities. In order to nurture, accelerate and sustain this critical mode of scientific progress, NSF has established the Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) program, with the overarching goal of transforming innovations in research and education into sustained software resources that are an integral part of the cyberinfrastructure.
Applications Due: March 19, 2013; February 3, 2014
More Information
  • NSF-12606 Expeditions in Training, Research, and Education for Mathematics and Statistics through Quantitative Explorations of Data (EXTREEMS-QED
The long-range goal of EXTREEMS-QED is to support efforts to educate the next generation of mathematics and statistics undergraduate students to confront new challenges in computational and data-enabled science and engineering (CDS&E). EXTREEMS-QED projects must enhance the knowledge and skills of most, if not all, the institution's mathematics and statistics majors through training that incorporates computational tools for analysis of large data sets and for modeling and simulation of complex systems.
Funded activities are expected to provide opportunities for undergraduate research and hands-on experiences centered on CDS&E (computational and data-enabled science and engineering); result in significant changes to the undergraduate mathematics and statistics curriculum; have broad institutional support and department-wide commitment that encourage collaborations within and across disciplines; and include professional development activities for faculty or for K-12 teachers.
Full Proposal Deadlines: Dec 14, 2012; Nov 6, 2013
Full announcement available: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12606/nsf12606.htm?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc_ev=click
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.
Full Proposal Deadline: Current, but no longer receiving
Research methods may span a broad variety of qualitative and quantitative methods, including (but not limited to) archival analyses, surveys, simulation studies, experiments, comparative case studies, and network analyses.
(Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability)
Concepts that underlie the science of sustainability include complex adaptive systems theory, emergent behavior, multi-scale processes, as well as the vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and resilience of coupled human-environment systems. … Conceptual frameworks for sustainability, including general theories and models, are critically needed for such informed decision-making.
