The focus of the FY 2014 competition is on nanoscale engineering education with relevance to devices and systems and\/or on the societal, ethical, economic and\/or environmental issues relevant to nanotechnology.<\/p>\n Anticipated Funding Amount:<\/b>\u00a0$1,900,000 pending availability of funds. Each award will be up to a maximum of $200,000 for two years.<\/p>\n The proposals will need to be screened within the College of Engineering<\/span><\/b>. If there are multiple proposals we ask that Dean Ashford determine which proposal will represent the college and Oregon State University for submission to NSF by the full proposal deadline of May 27, 2014. Please let Debbie Delmore (debbie.delmore@oregonstate.edu<\/a>) in the Research Office know who will be submitting a proposal to NSF as soon as the decision is made.<\/p>\n Guidance for preparation of societal, ethical, economic and\/or environmental issues relevant to nanotechnology focused letter of intent to the Research Office:<\/p>\n For further information, please contact Mary Phillips, Director of the Office for Research Development at\u00a0mary.phillips@oregonstate.edu<\/a><\/p>\n _______________________________________________<\/p>\n Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program:<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program offers teaching, research or combination teaching\/research awards in over 125 countries for the 2015-2016 academic year.<\/p>\n Highlights from\u00a0nearly 600 awards\u00a0<\/a>offered in this year\u2019s program include:<\/p>\n New Countries Offering Awards<\/b><\/p>\n After a 10-year hiatus, the U.S. Scholar Fulbright program is reopening in\u00a0Belize<\/a>, the\u00a0Bahamas<\/a>, and\u00a0Guyana<\/a>. \u00a0The Bahamas has a strong academic community with a healthy appetite for new and cutting-edge research. \u00a0Applicants interested in a teaching or teaching\/research grant to Belize will find themselves in high demand for their expertise in a country that abounds with natural wonders. \u00a0Guyana is eager to benefit from curriculum development, knowledge exchange and research collaboration.<\/p>\n Visit the interactive map<\/b><\/a>\u00a0on the new Fulbright Scholar Program website for an overview of additional opportunities in:<\/p>\n Interested faculty and professionals are encouraged to learn more about core Fulbright U.S. Scholar opportunities by visiting the online\u00a0Catalog of Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n The application deadline for most awards is August 1, 2014. \u00a0U.S. citizenship is required.<\/p>\n For other eligibility requirements and detailed award descriptions, please visit\u00a0our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State\u2019s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is the U.S. government\u2019s flagship international exchange program and is supported by the people of the United States and partner countries around the world.

Consistent with the\u00a0Advanced Computing Infrastructure: Vision and Strategic Plan (February 2012)<\/em>, the current solicitation is focused on expanding the use of high-end resources to a much larger and more diverse community. To quote from that strategic plan, the goal is to “… position and support the entire spectrum of NSF-funded communities … and to promote a more comprehensive and balanced portfolio …. to support multidisciplinary computational and data-enabled science and engineering that in turn supports the entire scientific, engineering and educational community.” Thus, while continuing to provide essential and needed resources to the more traditional users of HPC, this solicitation expands the horizon to include research communities that are not users of traditional HPC systems, but who would benefit from advanced computational capabilities at the national level. Building, testing, and deploying these resources within the collaborative ecosystem that encompasses national, regional and campus resources continues to remain a high priority for NSF and one of increasing importance to the science and engineering community.<\/p>\n Guidance for preparation of letters of intent:\u00a0http:\/\/oregonstate.edu\/research\/incentive\/nsf-hpcsa<\/a><\/p>\n NSF \u2013 HPCSA: Continuing the Building of a More Inclusive computing Environment for Science and Engineering information:\u00a0http:\/\/nsf.gov\/pubs\/2014\/nsf14536\/nsf14536.htm<\/a><\/p>\n If you have any question, contact Mary Phillips, Director, Office of Research Development at\u00a0mary.phillips@oregonstate.edu<\/a><\/p>\n _______________________________________________<\/p>\n National Research Council (NRC)<\/b><\/p>\n Research Associateship Program We are asking your assistance in forwarding this message to inform students and faculty in your department of these outstanding fellowship opportunities. \u00a0More detailed information and an online application can be found at\u00a0www.nationalacademies.org\/rap<\/a>.<\/p>\n The National Research Council of the National Academies sponsors a number of awards for graduate, postdoctoral and senior researchers at\u00a0participating federal laboratories and affiliated institutions<\/a>. \u00a0These awards include generous stipends ranging from $42,000 – $80,000 per year for recent Ph.D. recipients, and higher for additional experience. \u00a0Graduate<\/a>\u00a0entry level stipends begin at $30,000. \u00a0These awards provide the opportunity for recipients to do independent research in some of the best-equipped and staffed laboratories in the\u00a0U.S.\u00a0\u00a0Research opportunities are open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and for some of the laboratories, foreign nationals.<\/p>\n Detailed program information, including online applications, instructions on\u00a0how to apply<\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0list of participating laboratories<\/a>, is available on the NRC Research\u00a0Associateship\u00a0Programs\u00a0Website<\/a>\u00a0(see link above).Limit Summary: Only one proposal may be submitted by a US academic institution, College\/Department of Engineering or College\/Department of Engineering Technology as the lead institution.<\/h4>\n
