Category - Media Grants
Description - Grants for America's Media Makers support media projects that explore significant events, figures, or developments in the humanities in creative and new ways. America's Media Makers projects promote active exploration and engagement for broad public audiences in history, literature, archaeology, art history, comparative religion, philosophy, and other fields of the humanities. NEH supports the development of humanities content and interactivity that excites, informs, and stirs thoughtful reflection. To that end, NEH urges applicants to consider more than one format for presenting humanities ideas to the public. Grants for America's Media Makers should encourage audiences to engage with the humanities, promote dialogue and discussion, and foster learning among people of all ages. NEH offers two categories of grants for media projects, Development Grants and Production Grants. Development grants enable media producers to collaborate with scholars to develop humanities content and format and to prepare programs for production. These grants cover a wide range of activities that include, but are not limited to, meetings and individual consultations with scholars, location and archival research, preliminary interviews, preparation of program scripts, designs for interactivity and digital distribution, and the creation of partnerships for outreach activities and public engagement with the humanities. Development grants should culminate in the refinement of the humanities ideas, a script, or a design document for (or a prototype of) digital media components or projects. Development grants may also result in a detailed plan for outreach and public engagement in collaboration with partner organizations. Before applying, applicants must have a solid command of the major humanities scholarship on the subject, have clarified the ideas that the project will consider, and have consulted with a team of scholarly advisers to work out the intellectual issues that the program will explore. Applicants must also have made preliminary decisions about the format and storyline and located essential materials for the program(s). Finally, they must have recruited the appropriate media professionals, especially the producer, writer, or interactive designer. Production grants support the preparation of a program for distribution. Applicants must submit a script for a radio or television program, or a prototype or storyboard for a digital media project that demonstrates a solid command of the humanities ideas and scholarship about the subject. See application guidelines for Production Grants.

Category - Law and Social Science
Description - The Law and Social Science Program at the National Science Foundation supports social scientific studies of law and law-like systems of rules, institutions, processes, and behaviors. These can include, but are not limited to, research designed to enhance the scientific understanding of the impact of law; human behavior and interactions as these relate to law; the dynamics of legal decision making; and the nature, sources, and consequences of variations and changes in legal institutions. The primary consideration is that the research shows promise of advancing a scientific understanding of law and legal process. Within this framework, the Program has an "open window" for diverse theoretical perspectives, methods and contexts for study. For example, research on social control, crime causation, violence, victimization, legal and social change, patterns of discretion, procedural justice, compliance and deterrence, and regulatory enforcement are among the many areas that have recently received program support. In addition to standard proposals, planning grant proposals, travel support requests to lay the foundation for research, and proposals for improving doctoral dissertation research are welcome. The Law and Social Science Program continues to solicit proposals that take account of the growing interdependence and interconnections of the world. Thus proposals are welcome that advance fundamental knowledge about legal interactions, processes, relations, and diffusions that extend beyond any single nation as well as about how local and national legal institutions, systems, and cultures affect or are affected by transnational or international phenomena. Thus, proposals may locate the research within a single nation or between or across legal systems or regimes.

ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE
Deadline Date - January 26, 2009 Letter of Intent, February 26, 2009
Proposal
Grant Resource - US Department of Health and Human Services National
Institutes of Health
Category - Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Centers of Excellence
Description - This announcement is to provide support for research
centers that conduct drug abuse and addiction research that have
outstanding innovative science and that are multidisciplinary,
thematically integrated, synergistic, and are/will be serving as
national resource(s) for the NIDA research fields. NIDA centers are
expected to have three essential and defining qualities. First, they are
expected to be scientifically innovative. Centers are expected to
provide the next generation of ideas and approaches. Incremental work,
though valuable, should not be the focus of Center activities. Rather,
new and creative directions are required, and it is expected that a
Center will transform knowledge in the sciences it is studying. Second,
each NIDA center is expected to be thematically coherent and is expected
to demonstrate the highest caliber of multidisciplinary scientific work.
The uniqueness of each center emerges from the confluence of thematic
integration, and multidisciplinary involvement. The third quality of a
NIDA center is synergy. Taken as a whole, a NIDA center is expected to
enable a level of achievement that exceeds that expected on the basis of
"the sum of its parts." Research supported at a NIDA research center is
expected to reflect an inter-dependence of the individual research
projects that would not occur simply from the collection of the
individual components. Center support should be essential to the
achievement of the proposed work.

services research that consists of interdisciplinary investigations of
the predictors, processes and outcomes of mental health services,
including availability, access and acceptability; organization;
decision-making; service delivery, utilization and quality of care;
costs, cost-effectiveness and financing of mental health care, and the
dissemination and implementation of effective interventions into service
systems. The Geriatrics Research Branch supports intervention research
relevant to older adults. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity
Announcement is to establish infrastructure support for groups of
investigators to further expand their intervention and/or services
research.

Category - Diet and Physical Activity
Description - Diet and physical activity are lifestyle and behavioral
factors that play a role in the etiology and prevention of many chronic
diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease. Both also play roles
in preventing overweight/obesity and in maintaining weight loss.
Therefore, diet and physical activity are assessed for both surveillance
and epidemiologic/clinical research purposes. The measurement of usual
dietary intake or physical activity over varying time periods or in the
past, by necessity, has relied on self-report instruments. Such
subjective reporting instruments are cognitively difficult for
respondents, and are prone to considerable measurement errors that may
vary among population subgroups and depend on the time frame considered
and the characteristics of the respondents.

Category - Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Disease Centers of Excellence
Program
Description - Centers funded through these program announcements have
contributed to our basic understanding of the pathology of Parkinson's
disease. At this time, NINDS is committed to continuing and enhancing
the tradition of scientific excellence fostered in the original program
by extending the scope of the Udall program to include studies needed to
capitalize on the increasing number of findings in the basic sciences;
i.e. those that foster the translation of basic discoveries to clinical
therapeutics. Each center may contain basic, translational, or clinical
research, or, proportions of each that are appropriate for the research
objectives. Research objectives should emphasize basic, translational
or clinical studies of Parkinson's disease, parkinsonisms, and related
disorders. Emphasis is placed on multi-disciplinary and collaborative
studies that can best be carried out in a Center setting. The
organizational structure of the Center should be flexible to allow the
expeditious translation of new scientific findings and new technological
developments to clinical research.

Category - Obesity in Childhood
Description - The United States is in the midst of a twin epidemic of
childhood obesity and adolescent type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of
obesity in children, defined as a body mass index at or above the 95th
percentile for age and gender according to the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey I, has nearly quadrupled over the past 30
years, and the incidence of type 2 diabetes in adolescents has increased
by a factor of ten over the past 20 years. Research has shown that
childhood obesity tracks with fidelity into adulthood. Other research in
obese children has shown that weight loss is more readily maintained if
achieved prior to, rather than after, puberty. Even more effective is
preventing weight gain in the first place. However, preventive programs
may need to be initiated in elementary school, since by the time
children reach middle school more than 20 percent of them are obese.
This Funding Opportunity Announcement is designed to encourage
partnerships between academic institutions and school systems, for
example, those school systems involved with the Action for Healthy Kids
Program. Such partnerships would involve getting baseline data on
children in elementary or middle schools, devising and implementing
intervention programs in a controlled fashion, and assessing dependent
outcome variables at varying lengths of time after the intervention.
