Sponsor:North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Deadline(s): Open
Objectives:
The sponsor provides support to a number of scholars each year to encourage research linked to the CCMS ongoing pilot projects. Current pilot projects are active in the following areas:
(1) pollution control: ecosystem modeling of coastal lagoons for sustainable management; evaluation of demonstrated and emerging remedial action technologies for the treatment of contaminated land and groundwater, and; regional transboundary transport of air pollution.
(2) environmental education and training: forms of environmental education in the armed forces and their impact on the creation of pro-environmental attitudes.
(3) health and technological risks: advanced cancer risk assessment methods, and; new agricultural technologies.
(4) quality of life and planning: clean products and processes; methodology, focalisation, evaluation and scope of the environmental impact assessment; technologies for the study, preservation and management of cultural resources; modeling nutrient loads and response in river and estuary systems; the future trends of concentration of migratory movements in large cities - consequences for the environment and security, and; environmental decision making for sustainable development in Central Asia.

Moved from UMM Internal Opportunities, February 21, 2007.
All full-time faculty are invited to apply for the service learning faculty fellows program funded by UMM's Learn and Serve America grant. Three faculty fellows will be chosen each year that the program is funded. Fellows will participate in an intensive summer course and work together during the summer and subsequent academic year to create a cohesive teaching, service, and research plan that involves service learning as an integral component. Faculty fellows will receive $3,500 for their work. Fellows agree to the following:
* To participate in an intensive, three-week coursein early summer. The course will meet from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Monday-Friday during a three week period to read and discuss articles about the pedagogy of service learning, make connections with community agencies, write syllabi and reflection activities, and design related service learning research projects during this course. Faculty will spend an estimated four hours/week outside of class time reading and completing written work for the course; all readings and coursework will directly relate to the faculty member's completion of an integrated plan for research, service and teaching that incorporates service learning.
* To work with service learning staff to integrate service learning into at least one course in each of the next three academic years.
* To mentor one faculty member new to service learning within a year of completing the fellows course.
* To serve on the faculty advisory board for service learning, which meets bi-monthly, oversees all major programmatic decisions, and provides support to faculty engaged in service learning, for one academic year following completion of the course.

Office of International Programs - Homepage
Moved from U of M Opportunities, April 12, 2007.
OIP grants are supported by the University of Minnesota central administration and are available to faculty with regular (tenured and tenure-track) appointments. Funds from this program may be awarded to professional/administrative staff at the discretion of the director of the Institute. Academic staff applicants must be engaged in activities considered essential to the development of international educational programs at the University.
Grants generally range from $500 to $800. To receive an OIP grant, the faculty member must show that matching funds in the amount of the grant request are confirmed from another institutional source, such as a department, college, professional society, foundation, or government agency. In-kind support from a host institution will also be considered to meet the matching-fund requirement. Grants are made quarterly.
Supercomputer Institute
(faculty and students with faculty sponsorship may apply)
Moved from U of M Opportunities, April 12, 2007.
The Supercomputing Institute is a multidisciplinary research program of the University of Minnesota whose mission is to support faculty-initiated supercomputing research. "Supercomputing research" is taken in a broad sense to include a variety of activities from disparate disciplines. In many cases the activity will involve effective use of high-performance computing environments to address problems in science and engineering that could not otherwise be attempted; such efforts often result in domain-specific algorithms and code that exploit the available environments, as well as visualization techniques to enhance insight. The activity may in other cases involve research aimed at the design or evaluation of high-performance computing hardware, operating systems, networking, and general-purpose algorithms and software.
The following resource programs are in place:
- Supercomputing Resource Allocations
- Supercomputing Institute User Support
- Scientific Development and Visualization Laboratory
- Basic Sciences Computing Laboratory
- Medicinal Chemistry/Supercomputing Institute Visualization-Workstation Laboratory.
- Computational Genetics Laboratory
- Laboratory for Computational Science and Engineering/Supercomputing Institute Cooperative Program
- Digital Technology Computational Biology Laboratory
- Laboraotry for Large-Scale Data Analysis
- Research Scholarship Program
- Travel Awards Program (see also separate link below)
