NSF

Biomedical Engineering – NSF - The mission of the Biomedical Engineering program is to provide opportunities to develop novel ideas into projects that integrate engineering and life science principles in solving biomedical problems that serve humanity. The program focuses on high impact transforming technologies and include models and tools for understanding and control of biological systems; fundamental improvements in deriving information from cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems; new approaches to the design of structures and materials for eventual medical use; new methods of understanding and controlling living systems, and new methods of reducing health care costs through new technologies (deadline: Sept. 15, 2007). Link

Biophotonics – NSF – This research program focuses on the development of complex new integrated bio-optical technologies utilizing advances in optical technology such as nanoparticle fluorescent quantum-dots, novel waveguiding structures, plasmon surface resonance, nanofluidics, lens microarrays, nanochannel interconnects, and multi-function focal plane detector/emitter arrays, together with surface science, nanotechnology, and microelectronics to yield integrated optics solutions for a variety of purposes. (deadline: Sept. 15, 2007). Link

Climate and Large-Scale Dynamics (CLD) Modification 2 (NSF) The goals of the Program are to: (i) advance knowledge about the processes that force and regulate the atmosphere’s synoptic and planetary circulation, weather and climate, and (ii) sustain the pool of human resources required for excellence in synoptic and global atmospheric dynamics and climate research. (Deadline: Anytime; takes applications throughout the year) Link

Critical Zone Observatories (National Science Foundation) solicitation calls for proposals to develop Critical Zone Observatories that will operate at the watershed scale and that will significantly advance our understanding of the integration and coupling of Earth surface processes as mediated by the presence and flux of fresh water (deadline: Jan. 2, 2007) Link

Developmental and Learning Sciences (National Science Foundation) program supports studies that increase our understanding of cognitive, linguistic, social, cultural, and biological processes related to children's and adolescents' development and learning (deadline: Feb. 17, 2007) Link

Developmental Systems Cluster (National Science Foundation) focuses on the nature, control, and evolution of those processes that comprise the life cycle of organisms.
