http://www.epa.gov/ncer/rfa/2013/2013_star_tribal.html

Synopsis:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research on science for sustainable and healthy tribes. This solicitation is focused on research to develop sustainable solutions to environmental problems that affect tribes. The objectives of the awards to be made under this solicitation are to improve understanding of: 1) the health impacts of climate change on tribal populations; and 2) the health impacts of indoor air pollution exposures that derive from or are directly affecting traditional tribal life-ways and cultural practices. In both cases, projects should focus on impacts to vulnerable sub-populations of the Tribal communities. Proposals should also consider sustainable, culturally appropriate and acceptable pollution prevention, and adaptation/mitigation strategies.

Seeking Applicants: CDC Evaluation Fellowship Program: 2013-14

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks applicants for the 2013-14 class of the CDC Evaluation Fellowship Program. This is the third year of this initiative, and represents a major commitment by CDC to program evaluation and program improvement.  Fellows will work under the leadership of CDC's Chief Evaluation Officer; they will be assigned to specific CDC host programs, developing and implementing program evaluations and studies for/with those programs.  Host programs will compete for Fellows, to ensure the projects will enhance the knowledge base of the program and the professional development of the Fellow. In addition, Fellows take on periodic small evaluation projects and assist with cross-agency evaluation efforts.
