Sponsor: Sloan Foundation, Alfred P.; Selected National Issues
Deadline(s): Continuous
Objectives:
The goal for the Selected National Issues Program is to contribute to
major issues of our time in a way appropriate to the foundation's
expertise and size. The foundation contributes to an already widely
recognized problem only when utilizing a special approach. The broad goal
of the Federal Statistics set of grants is to improve the conceptual
underpinnings of federal statistics, especially economic statistics. Many
such statistics have become increasingly problematic, especially as the
economy has come to be dominated by hard-to-measure service activities and
information technologies. A 1998 grant to the Brookings Institution
supports work to improve conceptualization and measurement of productivity
in the now-dominant service sector of the U.S. economy. A 1998 officer
grant enabled the American Statistical Association to convene a high-level
workshop of Federal and non-governmental experts to discuss what was
needed. During 2000, these efforts contributed meaningfully to actions by
the leaderships of key federal statistical agencies to establish two new
official advisory committees on federal economic statistics, with
memberships that include many of the outstanding non-government experts in
the country. The Bureau of Economic Analysis established it's Committee
Charge and Membership. In addition, a tripartite committee and membership
was established jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of
Economic Analysis, and Bureau of the Census to provide expert advice on
statistical questions that cut across the mandates of these there
agencies. The foundation is interested in additional promising activities
in this area.
Eligibility:
The foundation is generally limited to
supporting tax-exempt institutions.

(AFOSR); Broad Agency Announcement (BAA); Mathematics and Space Sciences
Deadline(s): Continuous
Objectives:
This program aims to develop improved mathematical methods and algorithms
that exploit advanced computational capabilities in support of Air Force
scientific computing interests. For the most part, this program seeks to
develop innovative methods and algorithms that improve modeling and
simulation capabilities. These improved capabilities, in turn, enable
understanding, prediction, and control of complex physical phenomena
crucial to the Air Force. Research in the computational mathematics
program enables technological advances in - aerodynamics and hypersonics,
- airbreathing propulsion, - rocket and space propulsion, - high-power
microwaves, and - structural integrity. The research also supports the
national agenda in high-performance computing.
Eligibility:
AFOSR will consider requests for support of basic research relevant to the
Air Force from any organization. Grants are awarded to nonprofit
institutions of higher education and to nonprofit organizations whose
primary purpose is the conduct of scientific research. Cooperative
agreements or contracts may be awarded to these institutions, as well as
to consortia, and commercial concerns.

Deadline(s): Continuous
Objectives:
The goal of this research topic is to develop mathematical methods for
solving large or complex problems, such as those occurring in logistics,
engineering design, and strategic planning. These problems can often be
formulated as mathematical programs. Therefore, research is directed at
new linear and nonlinear programming methods, especially when formulated
for the solution of selected air force problems. The air force is
particularly interested in innovative techniques that combine the use of
artificial intelligence and operations research.

Science; Advanced Scientific Computing Research; Mathematical,
Information, and Computational Sciences
Deadline(s):Continuous
Objectives:
The Applied Mathematics section focuses on research on the underlying
mathematical understanding and numerical algorithms to enable effective
description and prediction of physical systems such as fluids, magnetized
plasmas, or protein molecules. This includes, for example, - methods for
solving large systems of partial differential equations on parallel
computers, - techniques for choosing optimal values for parameters in
large systems with hundreds to hundreds of thousands of parameters, -
improving our understanding of fluid turbulence, and - developing
techniques for reliably estimating the errors in simulations of complex
physical phenomena.

Deadline(s): Continuous
Objectives:
This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is issued under the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which provides for the competitive selection
of basic research proposals. Proposals submitted in response to this BAA
that are selected for award are considered to be the result of full and
open competition and in full compliance with the Competition in
Contracting Act of 1984 and subsequent
amendments. For topic 6.2.1, Numerical Methods, The areas of interest
include methods for efficient numerical solution of nonlinear partial
differential equations (both time-dependent and steady state), such as
adaptive finite difference and finite element methods, high order methods,
gridless methods and methods for computing interfaces, such as front
tracking and level sets. Other areas of numerical analysis, such as
numerical linear algebra, solution of nonlinear systems and methods for
the solution of ordinary differential equations and differential-algebraic
equations are of interest to the extent that they address problems of Army
interest. Some Army applications may require solutions of numerical
problems in real time. The emphasis of the program is on innovative
methods for representing data and solving problems, analysis,
applicability to Army problems such as rotorcraft flows and penetration
mechanics and high performance computing issues, including data
management. Multi-scale, multi-model and closure techniques are needed in
several applications of importance to the Army. Failure models and
dislocation formation in solid mechanics, turbulence modeling, groundwater
flow modeling and transport of airborne toxic agents are representative
examples. Numerical methods for solving such problems are of considerable
interest.

Sponsor: American Statistical Association (ASA)
Deadline(s): April 01, 2003
Objectives:
The American Statistical Association (ASA), in cooperation with the
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), announces the creation of an ASA/NCHS Research
Fellows Program. The program's objective is to bridge the gap between
academic scholars and the government's health research programs. Selected
fellows are provided the unique
opportunity to work on methodological problems and analytic issues
relevant to NCHS programs. They will work on research projects in
residence at NCHS, use NCHS data and facilities, and interact with the
NCHS staff. The mission of the NCHS is to provide statistical information
that will guide actions and policies to improve the health of the American
people. As the Nation's principal health statistics agency, NCHS designs,
develops, and maintains more than a dozen data systems that cover the full
spectrum of health concerns. These data systems provide essential
information to policymakers, to medical researchers,
and to others in the health community. Some of the NCHS data systems and
surveys are ongoing annual systems while others are conducted periodically
at intervals. The center has two major types of data systems: systems
based on populations, containing data collected through personal
interviews or examinations, and systems based on records, containing data
collected from vital and medical records. Data from both of these systems
and surveys are released in electronic format, and results are reported in
a variety of publications. Fellows will conduct their research at NCHS in
Hyattsville, Maryland.
Eligibility:
Applicants for the fellowship program should have a recognized research
record and considerable expertise in their areas of proposed research.
