The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has recently published two discretionary research funding announcements titled “Early Care and Education Research Scholars: Head Start Graduate Student Research Grants” and “Early Care and Education Research Scholars: Child Care Research Scholars”, which are summarized below. If you have questions regarding these grant announcements, please emailHSGraduateResearchReviews@
Head Start and Child Care Graduate Student Research Grants
The full announcements for “Early Care and Education Research Scholars: Head Start Graduate Student Research Grants” is available at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/
The full announcement for “Early Care and Education Research Scholars: Child Care Graduate Student Research Grants” is available at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/
The purpose of these grants is to support dissertation research addressing issues of significance related to Head Start, Early Head Start, and CCDF, that will inform policy decisions and solutions, particularly for underserved/understudied populations, utilizing the most rigorous research methodology, and promoting mentor-student relationships that support students’ independent lines of research.

NEH CHALLENGE GRANTS--Deadline MAY 1
Office of Challenge Grants
Receipt Deadline May 1, 2014
Brief Summary
NEH challenge grants are capacity-building grants, intended to help institutions and organizations secure long-term support for their humanities programs and resources. Through these awards, many organizations and institutions have been able to increase their humanities capacity and secure the permanent support of an endowment. Grants may be used to establish or enhance endowments or spend-down funds that generate expendable earnings to support and enhance ongoing program activities. Challenge grants may also provide capital directly supporting the procurement of long-lasting objects, such as acquisitions for archives and collections, the purchase of equipment, and the construction or renovation of facilities needed for humanities activities. Funds spent directly must be shown to bring long-term benefits to the institution and to the humanities more broadly. Grantee institutions may also expend up to 10 percent of total grant funds (federal funds plus matching funds) to defray costs of fundraising to meet the NEH challenge. Because of the matching requirement, these NEH grants also strengthen the humanities by encouraging nonfederal sources of support.

Investigator-Initiated Research: The Comprehensive School Safety Initiative
Colleagues, this is an interesting study for anyone researching schools and school safety, and, as noted, the solicitation is very wide open. If you're interested, I'd strongly urge you to apply and, of course, my office is ready to help with our application.

| April 11, 2014 Dear Colleague: The purpose of this letter is to alert school officials and social and behavioral scientists and researchers about an exciting research opportunity. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is interested in receiving proposals related to our “Investigator-Initiated Research: The Comprehensive School Safety Initiative” solicitation. The announcement has been on the streets for a few weeks now, but we would like to provide more insight into the kinds of proposals we are seeking. It is most important to note that the solicitation is wide open—NIJ will consider any research topic that can add to our knowledge base about school safety. Think broadly: What do we know and what do we need to know? This is your opportunity to test innovative ideas about school safety. Does your idea have the potential to make a difference where school safety is concerned? Can it be implemented in the real world? If successful, could it be adopted by schools across the country or schools in certain parts of the country (e.g., rural areas)? |

Two weeks left to apply for the Presidential Innovation Fellowship!
There are just two weeks left to apply to be a Presidential Innovation Fellow! The PIF program pairs talented, diverse individuals with top civil servants in federal government to tackle many of our nation’s biggest challenges. A six-month or one-year tour of duty as a PIF is an amazing way to create a profound and lasting social impact.
Applicants have the opportunity to apply for 14 exciting projects, in three major areas: modernizing the veterans’ experience, data innovation, and crowdsourcing. If you’ve ever thought about serving your country, or know someone who you think would be a great fit, apply to be a Presidential Innovation Fellow today! We are accepting applications through April 7.
Yours truly,

Dear Colleague Letter - Youth Violence: Opportunity for Breakthroughs in Fundamental Basic Research
Please note that this is not a new funding opportunity, but, rather, is an announcement of NSF's interest in soliciting research that addresses this important issue.
NSF 14-049
Dear Colleague Letter - Youth Violence: Opportunity for Breakthroughs in Fundamental Basic Research
National Science Foundation
Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences (SBE)
Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences (SBE)
March 12, 2014
Dear Colleague:
This letter is to alert all basic social and behavioral science research communities of the National Science Foundation's interest in receipt of proposals that will enable a better understanding of the contributing factors, causes, and consequences of violence perpetrated by and against youth. This will advance the Foundation's goal to provide scientific evidence in support of important social issues. The interest spans both disciplinary and interdisciplinary research.
Background: Although the incidence of youth violence is at a historic low, the continuing loss of life is tragic and the long term consequences of youth violence are of ongoing public concern. In 2013, the National Science Foundation sponsored a workshop on "Youth Violence: What We Need to Know." This two-day workshop brought together researchers from sociology, anthropology, psychology, communications, computer science, information systems, and public policy. The resulting reportsummarized much of the existing scientific evidence regarding the precursors and causes of violence perpetrated by children and adolescents. It underscored the need for additional study to enhance our understanding of the dynamics of, contributors to, and impact of violent ideology and violent acts.
NSF's mission includes support for basic research, in this case research with the goal of elucidating the causes, correlates, and consequences of youth violence. For this reason, projects focused on developing or evaluating specific interventions would lie outside NSF's purview.

NCSU Libraries: Collections and Journals Review 2014
Colleagues, I share this information because of the importance of our libraries in our scholarship. The libraries are engaging in their annual review of journals to decide which subscriptions to maintain and which to let lapse. As you know, journals are becoming more expensive, so it's particularly important that the libraries hear from the faculty to make journal acquisition decisions.
To provide your feedback on journals, please visit this site and read and follow the instructions: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/collections/collectionsreview2014
Please take a few moments to share your expertise. Thanks!
Tom

Panel Discussion on Big Data in the Social Sciences
Steve McDonald from the Sociology and Anthropology Department writes:
The Sociology & Anthropology department is sponsoring a panel discussion on Big Data in the Social Sciences on March 6 from 3:30-5p (see the flyer flyer for details). We are bringing in two prominent scholars (Ryan Light from U of Oregon & Chris Bail from UNC) who are leaders in this field in sociology, plus A. J. Faas, a postdoc in the Public Administration department who is an anthropologist by training who also conducts fascinating research using Big Data techniques. Given the recent initiatives at the university level focusing on big data analytics, we felt like this would be a great opportunity to showcase the contributions made by social scientists to the big data phenomenon.
We are also holding a reception afterward in Caldwell Lounge from 5-6p.
I would encourage you to attend and to spread the word about this event. Thanks!
