ORG funds the development and implementation of research, extension and higher education programs to improve the competitiveness of organic producers. OREI funds research and extension programs that enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards to grow and market high quality organic food, feed, and fiber. | December 20, 2005 | |
| Dept of Energy in partnership with the Dept of Agriculture |
Biomass Research and Development
Initiative. Technical areas for this fiscal year include: 1. Feedstock production through the development of crops and cropping systems relevant to production of raw materials for conversion to biobased fuels and biobased products. 2. Overcoming recalcitrance of cellulosic biomass through developing technologies for converting cellulosic biomass into intermediates that can subsequently be converted into biobased fuels and biobased products. 3. Product diversification through technologies relevant to production of a range of biobased products that eventually can increase the feasibility of fuel production on a biorefinery. 4. Analysis that provides strategic guidance for the application of biomass technologies in accordance with realization of improved sustainability and environmental quality, cost effectiveness, security, and rural economic development, usually featuring system-wide approaches. |

| Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 |
For Fiscal Year 2006, EPA Region 4 is soliciting proposals for projects to address regional and state strategic priorities that meet national Regional Geographic Initiative (RGI) and Environmental Priorities Program (EPP) funding criteria. Region 4 will provide assistance for projects selected under this solicitation through grants or cooperative agreements.
RGI funds are designated for unique, geographically-based projects that fill critical gaps in the Agency's ability to protect human health and the environment. These projects are frequently used to further regional priorities not funded by national programs. Region 4 is specifically looking for projects that are multi-media in nature, showcase innovation, promote collaboration, and identify opportunities for leveraging other sources of funding. In addition, the projects will need to result in specific, measurable environmental or human health outcomes.
EPA Region 4 Environmental Priorities for 2006 funding consideration are 1) agriculture in the Southeast; 2) reducing environmental exposure to sensitive populations; 3) healthy communities through watershed protection; 4) post-natural-disaster redevelopment; 5) waste and energy applications. Awards made under this solicitation must relate to one or more of the regional environmental priorities listed here. See Section III D on eligibility requirements for more information on each of these priorities.
This is the first Regional Environmental Priorities initiative competition that EPA Region 4 has conducted. Because of multiple priorities, this solicitation is anticipated to be highly competitive. Solicitations similar to this one conducted in other EPA regions have resulted in only 5 to 25% of the submitted proposals receiving funding.
Award of funding through this year’s competition is not a guarantee of future funding. Funds for each fiscal year will be competed separately. |

| California Table Grape Commission | The California Grape Commission's 2007-2008 request for Letters of Intent (LOI) is now open. The Commission is soliciting LOI then following the review of the LOI, finalists will be invited to submit a complete proposal. | December 7, 2006 | |
| Consortium for Plant Biotechnology Research, Inc. (CPBR) | Request for Pre-Proposals. Pre-proposals are requested for research that (1) is related to plant biotechnology and (2) addresses industrial problems and opportunities related to bio-energy and/or the environment and/or health. Please note that investigators from CPBR member universities are eligible to submit pre-proposals. | December 15, 2006 | |
| Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) |
In reinstating the grants program, OFRF is is releasing an open request
for proposals in all subject areas, but particularly encourages
proposals in the following topic areas: -Organic livestock systems. -Economic constraints and opportunities relevant to the viability of small- and medium-scale organic farms and ranches. -Projects that investigate the interactions between components of organic systems and that take a systems-management (rather than an input-substitution) approach to solving production problems. OFRF encourages organic farmers and ranchers to apply for a grant. Many producers find that working with a small group, or with an extension educator or university-based researcher, can make it easier to design and carry out a research project. OFRF encourages applications from such partnerships, and will try to link interested farmers with research partners. Projects must involve farmers in both design and implementation and take place on working organic farms whenever possible. |

| United States Dept of Agriculture - CSREES |
Integrated Organic Program The purpose of the Integrated Organic Program is to solve critical agriculture issues, priorities, or problems through the integration of research, education, and extension activities in two program areas: (1) Organic Transitions Program (ORG); and (2) Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative (OREI). ORG funds the development and implementation of research, extension, and higher education programs to improve the competitiveness of organic producers. OREI funds research and extension programs that enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards to grow and market high quality organic food, feed, and fiber. These two funding opportunities are included in the same Request for Applications. |

EPA plans to award up to $1.25 million in grants that enable teams of
college students to research, develop and design scientific and
technical solutions to sustainability challenges that protect the
environment while achieving continued economic prosperity. EPA will award as many as 50 grants up to $10,000 each to student teams. The P3 competition is open to teams of students attending colleges, universities and other post-secondary educational institutions. Interdisciplinary teams are strongly encouraged, including representatives from multiple engineering departments and/or departments of chemistry, architecture, industrial design, economics, policy, social sciences, business, communications, etc. |

| U.S. Israel Binational Science Foundation |
After a break of several years, the Board of Governors of the U.S. –
Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF) has decided to
re-institute the BSF's workshops program. Accordingly, the BSF will
again consider partial/full support of workshops aimed to stimulate
scientific cooperation between U.S. and Israeli scientists. It is
hoped that the workshops will facilitate new cooperation between
U.S. and Israeli scientists, and the submission of research grant
applications by new teams of scientists, young ones in particular. The BSF encourages, but does not require, proposals to identify complimentary support from U.S. agencies or institutions for the proposed workshop. As guiding principles, support will be awarded to workshops that meet the following criteria: • Workshops pertaining to the areas of research supported by the BSF. • Workshops organized jointly by American and Israeli moderators. • Workshops oriented toward new frontiers in science. • Workshops in areas that are currently of special interest to the two countries. • Workshops in areas that fare low in BSF competitions. • Workshops that provide educational opportunities to young scientists. • Workshops that are limited to U.S. and Israeli participants (the BSF will not give partial support to multinational workshops). The Applications should include: • A short summary elucidating the workshop topic and alluding to the criteria mentioned above. • Names and affiliations of moderators, other supporting organizations if any, and venue. • Names of leading lecturers. • Preliminary program. • Number of participants. • Planned arrangements for young scientists. • Budget outline with specific details on the amount requested from the BSF and all other sources of support. BSF’s currently approved budget for workshops is $100,000, and will be divided between two or more workshops. |
