DOT/Federal Transit Administration
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces the opportunity
to apply for approximately $25.79 million of funding under the Pilot Program
for TOD Planning (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance #20.500). As
required by federal transit law and subject to funding availability, funds will
be awarded competitively to support comprehensive planning associated with new
fixed guideway and core capacity improvement projects. FTA anticipates
minimum grant awards of $250,000 and maximum grant awards of $2,000,000.
Synopses and full announcement are posted on Grants.gov and FTA Website as
opportunity FTA-2018-004-TPE. Proposals must be submitted electronically
through the Grants.gov website by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on 7/23/2018.
As outlined in statute, the Pilot Program for TOD
Planning is intended to fund comprehensive planning that supports economic
development, ridership, multimodal connectivity and accessibility, increased
transit access for pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and mixed-use development
near transit stations. The program also encourages identification of
infrastructure needs and engagement with the private sector.
Consistent with statutory direction, FTA is seeking
comprehensive planning projects covering an entire transit capital project
corridor, rather than proposals that involve planning for individual station
areas or only a small section of the corridor. To ensure any proposed
planning work reflects the needs and aspirations of the local community and
results in concrete, specific deliverables and outcomes, transit project
sponsors must partner with entities with land use planning authority in the
transit project corridor to conduct the planning work.
The Pilot Program for TOD Planning helps support FTA’s
mission of improving public transportation for America’s communities by
providing funding to local communities to integrate land use and transportation
planning around a new fixed guideway or core capacity improvement
project. Per statute, any comprehensive planning funded through the
program must examine ways to improve economic development and ridership, foster
multimodal connectivity and accessibility, improve transit access for
pedestrian and bicycle traffic, engage the private sector, identify
infrastructure needs, and enable mixed-use development near transit stations.
Webinar: FTA will host a webinar on this
funding opportunity at 2 p.m. ET Thursday, June 14 at https://connectdot.connectsolutions.com/fta-tod-pilot
. The webinar will provide an overview of the program, describe eligible
applicants and projects, and provide an opportunity for attendees to obtain
answers to other questions. (Note: audio and video will be provided

ARTS & HUMANITIES
NEA: National Endowment for the Arts
“An organization may submit only one proposal under this
program solicitation.” “This Cooperative Agreement will begin no earlier than
March 1, 2019, and extend for up to 24 months.” Program Description Our
five-year research agenda aims to build public knowledge about the arts’
contributions to individuals and society. Through the NEA Research Labs
(“Research Labs”), we seek to extend this agenda and its impact by cultivating
a series of transdisciplinary research partnerships, grounded in the social and
behavioral sciences, to produce and report empirical insights about the arts
for the benefit of arts and non-arts sectors alike. Each Research Lab will
define its own agenda, conduct a research program to implement that agenda, and
prepare reports that will contribute substantively to a wider understanding of
one of three areas of special interest to the NEA: 1. The Arts, Health, and
Social/Emotional Well-Being a. Therapeutic Approaches and Benefits b.
Non-Therapeutic Approaches and Benefits 2. The Arts, Creativity, Cognition, and
Learning 3. The Arts, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation We anticipate that a
sustained engagement with these topic areas, and with the corresponding
research questions we frame below, will have distinctive benefits not only for
the arts community, but also for sectors such as healthcare, education, and
business or management.
NEH: National Endowment for the Humanities
NEH Humanities Initiatives at Historically Black Colleges
and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and
Universities, and Community Colleges help strengthen the teaching and study of
the humanities by developing new humanities programs, resources, or courses, or
by enhancing existing ones. Applicants are encouraged to draw on the knowledge
of outside scholars who would contribute expertise and fresh insights to the
project. Each project must be organized around a core topic or set of themes
drawn from areas of study in the humanities such as history, philosophy,
religion, literature, and composition and writing skills.
The Humanities Collections and Reference Resources (HCRR)
program supports projects that provide an essential underpinning for
scholarship, education, and public programming in the humanities. Thousands of
libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country
maintain important collections of books and manuscripts, photographs, sound
recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art
and material culture, and digital objects. Funding from this program
strengthens efforts to extend the life of such materials and make their
intellectual content widely accessible, often through the use of digital
technology. Awards are also made to create various reference resources that
facilitate use of cultural materials, from works that provide basic information
quickly to tools that synthesize and codify knowledge of a subject for in-depth
investigation. HCRR offers two kinds of awards: 1) for implementation and 2)
for planning, assessment, and pilot efforts (HCRR Foundations awards).
EDUCATION & STEM: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING,
& MATH
DOD: Department of Defense
Dept of the Army -- Materiel Command
In accordance with 10 USC §2192, Improvement of education
in technical fields: general authority regarding education in science,
mathematics, and engineering, the National Defense Education Program (NDEP)
K-16 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education and
outreach is seeking to strategically implant a vehicle to identify and support
stronger guidelines for conducting K-16 education and outreach programs. The
Department of Defense seeks to diversify its portfolio of support and increase
focus on efforts that support the Force of the Future, and align with the
Federal and DoD STEM strategies. Enhancing the permeability of ideas into DoD's
workforce, especially the STEM workforce, through alliances with academia,
industry and various non-traditional partners in STEM should deliver far-reaching
sustainable and scalable programs and partnerships. While aligning with
the DoD STEM mission, “to attract, inspire, and develop exceptional STEM talent
across the education continuum to enrich our current and future DoD workforce
to meet defense technological challenges,” the Defense STEM Education
Consortium (DSEC) should collaboratively work with the Government to provide a
cohesive strategy to meet the vision, roles, and goals outlined in the DoD STEM
Strategic Plan (https://www.acq.osd.mil/rd/publications/docs/DoD_STEM_Strategic_Plan_2015_1022_final.pdf).
The goals and objectives of this strategic plan will support: (1) building and
maintaining not only DOD’s, but the nation’s STEM pipeline; (2) reducing the
number of STEM professionals who choose to leave DoD; and (3) keeping DoD
competitive with industry and other countries also seeking STEM talent.
The fundamental elements under the DSEC Cooperative
Agreement (COA) are: (1) Consortium Management; (2) Program Evaluations: Data
Collection, Analysis and Reports; (3) Outreach/Communications; (4) STEM Alumni
Management; and (5) Strategic Outreach Initiatives. These fundamental
elements are the essential elements of the consortium that will support the DoD
STEM education and outreach goals.
Congress enacted the Troops to Teachers (TTT) Program in
1993 to assist eligible current and former members of the armed forces to
transition into second careers as teachers. Within the Department of
Defense (DoD), the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Readiness, Force Education, is responsible for program policy, funding and
oversight. The TTT National Office, located within the Defense Activity
for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES), is responsible for day-to-day
operations and management of the program. Authorizing statute in 10 USC 1154(h)
(2) (A), permits the Secretary of Defense to make grants to states or consortia
of such states in order to support efforts of recruiting eligible current and
former members of the armed forces for participation in the TTT Program and
facilitating the employment of participants as elementary school teachers,
secondary school teachers, and career or technical teachers. More
information can be found at www.proudtoserveagain.com.
NSF: National Science Foundation
The primary objective of the Cultural Anthropology
Program is to support fundamental, systematic anthropological research and
training to increase understanding of the causes, consequences, and
complexities of human social and cultural variability. The Cultural
Anthropology Program welcomes proposals from researchers in all sub-fields of
cultural anthropology and research at any temporal and spatial scale. Methodologies
and approaches employed may include ethnographic field research, surveys,
remote sensing, the collection of bio-markers, experimental research inside or
outside of laboratory settings, archival research, the analysis of materials
collections and extant data bases, mathematical and computational modeling, and
other research tools as appropriate for the research proposed. The overarching
research goals should be to produce empirically grounded findings that will be
generalizable beyond particular case studies and contribute to building a more
robust anthropological science of human society and culture. The National
Science Foundation's mandate is to support basic scientific research.
"Basic research" in cultural anthropology means theory-generating and
theory-testing research that creates new knowledge about human culture and
society. Therefore, the Cultural Anthropology Program cannot support research
that takes as its primary objective improved clinical practice, applied policy,
or other immediate application. While application may be a desirable component
of the proposal's Broader Impacts, a proposal that only proposes to use
anthropological methods and approaches to find solutions to social, medical, or
other problems and does not specifically propose to make a theory-testing
and/or theory-expanding contribution to anthropological science, will be
returned without review.
Cyberspace is a complex ecosystem that involves computer
hardware, software, networks, data, people, and integration with the physical
world. Society's overwhelming reliance on this complex system has exposed
fragility and vulnerabilities that defy existing cyber-defense measures.
Corporations, agencies, national infrastructure, and individuals continue to
suffer cyber-attacks. To protect America's economic prosperity and security in
the 21st century, the nation needs an innovative and efficient cybersecurity
education system that will produce an unrivaled cybersecurity workforce as well
as a cybersecurity-literate citizenry. Community colleges play an important
role in these efforts by offering degrees and industry-recognized credentials
that prepare students to fill high-demand cybersecurity jobs. In recognition of
this role, NSF supports skilled technical workforce programs atcommunity
collegesto develop skills necessary for the Nation’s cybersecurity missions. In
addition, section 1649A of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2018 (NDAA18) has authorized the National Science Foundation, in
coordination with the Office of Personnel Management, to develop and implement
a Community College Cyber Pilot (C3P) program as part of NSF's CyberCorps®:
Scholarship for Service (SFS) program. Specifically, NDAA18 authorizes
scholarships for eligible students who:
are pursuing associate degrees or specialized program
certifications in the field of cybersecurity; and
(A) have bachelor’s degrees or
(B) are veterans of the Armed Forces.
The Environmental Sustainability program is part of the
Environmental Engineering and Sustainability cluster, which also includes 1)
Environmental Engineering; and 2) Biological and Environmental Interactions of
Nanoscale Materials. The goal of the Environmental Sustainability program is to
promote sustainable engineered systems that support human well-being and that
are also compatible with sustaining natural (environmental) systems. These
systems provide ecological services vital for human survival. Research efforts
supported by the program typically consider long time horizons and may
incorporate contributions from the social sciences and ethics. The program
supports engineering research that seeks to balance society's need to provide ecological
protection and maintain stable economic conditions.
