> http://nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5501
> The Research Office has become aware of the above National Science Foundation program. The College of Engineering has expressed an interest in pursuing this opportunity. If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity as well, please contact the Research Office, Incentive Programs at debbie.delmore@oregonstate.edu by Tuesday, February 12, 2013.
> The I/UCRC program develops long-term partnerships among industry, academe, and government. The centers are catalyzed by a small investment from the NSF and are primarily supported by industry center members, with NSF taking a supporting role in the development and evolution of the center. Each center is established to conduct research that is of interest to both the industry members and the center faculty. An I/UCRC contributes to the Nation’s research infrastructure base and enhances the intellectual capacity of the engineering and science workforce through the integration of research and education. As appropriate, an I/UCRC uses international collaborations to advance these goals within the global context.

> NSF – High Performance Computing System Acquisition (HPCSA): Building a More Inclusive Computing Environment for Science and Engineering program.
> The Research Office, Incentive Programs is requesting letters of
> intent. Deadline to the Research Office, Incentive Programs: Thursday, February 21, 2013 The purpose of this solicitation is to generate proposals from Service Provider organizations who are committed to the delivery of world leading High Performance Computing and Data enabled (HPC&D) resources through the XD environment. This competition emphasizes the provision of system and services that deliver significant levels of performance for many different types of science and engineering applications while also introducing new capabilities and significant innovation which will expand the value of HPC&D to the science and engineering community.

> NSF – EPA / NSF Networks for Characterizing Chemical Life Cycle (NCCLC) program.
> The Research Office, Incentive Programs is requesting letters of
> intent. Deadline to the Research Office, Incentive Programs: Monday, February 11, 2013 NCCLCs will promote development of trans-disciplinary, systems- and molecular-level understanding of the life cycle of important synthetic chemicals and materials (including nanomaterials) as these distribute and are potentially altered through use in society and interaction with the built and natural environments.
> Education, workforce development, and the translation or transfer of basic research results into social or economic benefits are critical aspects of the NCCLC projects. Networks will develop strong mentoring and training activities for undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral associates. Other educational activities, such as informal science communication and the education of K-12 students or the public, are encouraged. Where appropriate, intellectual property protection and a proactive plan to engage industry in technology transfer is encouraged.

> NSMDS are groups of two or more researchers working in trans-disciplinary fields to promote the development of safe and sustainable chemicals as well as safe and sustainable synthetic procedures. Advances resulting from the Networks are expected to result in chemicals that are safer and more sustainable throughout their life cycle and thus, the replacement of rare, toxic, and expensive chemicals with earth abundant, benign, and renewable alternatives is anticipated. The Networks will facilitate safe design strategies, processes, and pathways (including catalytic pathways) that consume less fresh water, generate less waste, and use less energy than current practice. These new approaches will minimize hazards that arise not only from chemical structure and intended use, but also from their synthesis, production, consumption, reuse, and disposal.

> IGERT WORKSHOP
> The Graduate School and Research Office are hosting a NSF – Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) workshop featuring Dr. Richard Boone, NSF Program Manager for IGERT. The workshop will include a presentation by Dr. Boone on NSFs expectations for IGERTs and tips on how to meet these expectations, with plenty of time for discussion. There will also be a strategy session that includes PIs and Co-PIs from former and current IGERT programs on developing and conducting successful IGERT programs. A detailed agenda will be shared in advance.
> Date: Tuesday, February 26, 2013
> Time: 9:00 am – 11:30 am
> Location: Memorial Union Journey Room Advanced registration is
> requested so that we can provide appropriate refreshments, but not required. Please email Barbara Bond to register at barbara.bond@oregonstate.edu. For more information contact Barbara Bond.

> Grants are available to promote educational outreach activities focused on analytical instrument-based specialties, i.e., microscopy, spectrometry, diffraction, cosmic and particle physics. Grants are provided to help increase awareness and disseminate information about facilities, methods, developments, applications, and benefits to specialty practitioners, facility users and potential users, student (middle school through advanced degree candidates), and interested public.
> Funds are distributed as annual grants to Oregon State University or the University of Oregon, however, joint OSU/UO and vendor outreach programs will also be considered. During the 2013-2014 school year, approximately $4,700 is available for grants.
> Due Date for Applications to OCF: April 1, 2013 (for the 2013-2014
