Funding Opportunity Description:	With the passage of the Affordable Care Act in March 2010, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) was amended in Section 3306 to provide additional funding for 2010 through 2012. With the passage of ATRA, the MIPPA programs have again been reauthorized for a total of $25 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. This legislation builds upon the 2008 MIPPA legislation which provided for beneficiary outreach and included funding to State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs), Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), Aging and Disability Resource Center programs (ADRCs), and for a resource center to help coordinate efforts to inform older Americans about available Federal and State benefits. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Administration for Community Living (ACL) are jointly administering the MIPPA funding through a single announcement and a coordinated implementation and monitoring process as a model for similar state and local collaboration for this funding. SHIPs, AAAs, and ADRCs have successfully filled an important role, providing valuable support at both the state and community levels for organizations involved in reaching people likely to be eligible for the Low Income Subsidy program (LIS), Medicare Savings Program (MSP), Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D) and in assisting beneficiaries in applying for benefits. CMS and ACL seek plans from states that will describe how the 2013 MIPPA funds will be used to enhance those efforts through statewide and local coalition building focused on intensified outreach activities to help beneficiaries understand and apply for their Medicare benefits. Consistent with 2009 and 2010 MIPPA funding, states should provide one coordinated State Plan in their application that covers the activities supported by the various funding sources available under MIPPA. CMS and ACL request that states describe specific project plans to expand, extend, or enhance the outreach efforts to beneficiaries on Medicare Part D and for those with limited incomes. States should describe how the SHIP, AAA and ADRC efforts will be coordinated to provide outreach to beneficiaries with limited incomes statewide, for general Medicare Part D outreach and assistance to beneficiaries in rural areas and for outreach activities aimed at Medicare prevention and wellness benefits as well as the improvements in the Part D program under the Affordable Care Act as mandated by Section 3306 of the Act. States are asked to review their 2010 MIPPA plans and update these plans to reflect successes achieved to date and direct their efforts to enhance and expand their MIPPA outreach activities.

Purpose of Program: Promoting the Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income (PROMISE) is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of Education (ED), the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Under PROMISE, ED will fund States to develop and implement model demonstration projects (MDPs) that promote positive outcomes for children who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and their families. Specifically, PROMISE is intended to improve the provision and coordination of services and supports for child SSI recipients and their families to enable them to achieve improved outcomes. These outcomes include graduating from high school ready for college and a career, completing postsecondary education and job training, and obtaining competitive employment in an integrated setting and, as a result, achieving long-term reductions in the child recipients' reliance on SSI.

Funding Opportunity Description:	The proposed project is a systematic, non-invasive metal detector survey of a 45-acre parcel at FOUN situated immediately southwest and southeast of the 1861-1863 FOUN Second Fort, the area where the 1st Colorado allegedly camped for 84 days in 1862. The survey will aim to identify, plot, and map the surviving physical remnants of the 1st Colorado encampment. Surviving physical remnants of the camp likely include such archeological features as tent depressions, cooking hearths, and latrines. The metal detector survey of the 1862 1st Colorado encampment will provide scholars crucial information about daily life and behavior among volunteer infantry regiments during the Civil War. Regular army officers (Union and Confederate) frequently criticized volunteer infantry regiments, complaining about their unprofessionalism and lack of military discipline. By examining the physical layout of the FOUN’s 1862 1st Colorado encampment, scholars will be able to gauge the degree to which one particular volunteer regiment actually conformed to (or strayed from) established military regulations dictating camp design.

Encourage and promote implementation of water efficiency measures; C. Demonstrate conservation technologies; and D. Promote and support water education and training. Please refer to Section III for additional information on these major components. Because of the strong support provided by the State of Arizona through the Arizona Department of Water Resources and the implementation of Arizona’s Groundwater Management Code of 1980, no funding will be made available for water management and/or water conservation plans under Phoenix Area Office funding opportunities. Reclamation recognizes that the need to conserve water is critical in the arid Southwest. No single entity, acting independently, can meet the challenge of improving the efficiency of water use in this area without a combination of new technology and innovative management. Consequently, a key to meeting this challenge will be the continuation of the partnerships formed between Reclamation and all water users, other Federal and State agencies, educational and research institutions, and other interested parties. Objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite irrigation and water districts, states, local governments, water providers, universities, and other entities that have an association with a Reclamation project to leverage their money and resources, by cost sharing with Reclamation, on projects/activities that make more efficient use of existing water supplies through water conservation and efficiency in the Phoenix Area Office boundaries. Projects/Activities funded will be selected through a competitive process.

Funding Opportunity Description:	The SCIRP Investigator-Initiated Research Award (IIRA) mechanism was first offered in FY09. Since then, 162 Investigator-Initiated Research Award applications have been received, and 32 have been recommended for funding. The IIRA is intended to support studies that have the potential to make an important contribution to SCI research and/or patient care. Projects are expected to be innovative, address an Area of Encouragement, and impact the health care needs of military Service members, Veterans, and/or their family members and caregivers. All applications must specifically and clearly address the military relevance of the proposed research project. Collaboration with military researchers and clinicians is encouraged. Research projects may focus on any phase of research from basic through translational, including preclinical studies in animal models or human subjects, as well as correlative studies associated with an existing clinical trial. Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from laboratory discovery, population-based studies, a clinician’s first-hand knowledge of patients, or anecdotal data. Applications must include preliminary or published data that is relevant to SCI and the proposed research project. Optional Qualified Collaborator: The FY13 SCIRP strongly encourages multidisciplinary collaborations among academic scientists and clinicians, industry scientists, the military Services, the VA, and other federal Government agencies. Collaborations with early-career investigators in the SCI field are encouraged. Although more than one collaborator may participate in the application, only one may be named for this option. The Principal Investigator (PI) must submit a Statement of Collaboration that clearly identifies the collaborating investigator and addresses how each of the criteria listed below are met. Additionally, the collaborator must provide a biographical sketch (see Section II.C.3) and a letter of collaboration (see Section II.C.2) describing his/her involvement in the proposed research project. It should be clear that the success of the proposed research project depends on the complementary skills and contributions of both the PI and collaborator. • The collaborator must significantly contribute to the proposed research project such that it could not be accomplished without his/her involvement. ○ A proposed research project in which the collaborator merely supplies tissue samples or access to patients will not meet the intent and will not be qualified for the higher level of funding. ○ At least a 10% level of effort is required of the collaborator. Contribution of the collaborator should be reflected in the application’s budget. • The collaborator must be in a position with freedom to pursue independent research goals without formal mentorship. Research involving human subjects and human anatomical substances is permitted; however, clinical trials are not allowed under this funding opportunity. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects in which an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested with a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. For more information on clinical trials and clinical research, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided on the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) eReceipt System at https://cdmrp.org/Program_Announcements_and_Forms/. Principal Investigators (PIs) wishing to apply for funding for a clinical trial should utilize the FY13 SCIRP Clinical Trial Award mechanism (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-13-SCIRP-CTA).

Funding Opportunity Description:	National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters is releasing a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) for initial studies of visionary aerospace concepts. NNH13ZUA003N, entitled NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts: Phase II Studies, will be available as of May 28, 2013 by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings “Solicitations” to “Open Solicitations.” This solicitation represents continuation of the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, which issued its first solicitation on March 1, 2011. More information is available at: http://www.nasa.gov/niac . This NRA will solicit multiple studies, each of which will investigate an architecture, mission, or system concept with the potential to enable a great leap in space or aeronautics. NIAC is part of the Space Technology Mission Directorate. Aerospace architecture, mission, or system concepts proposed for NIAC Phase II studies must be exciting, unexplored, far-term, and credible. Proposals for narrow technology or subsystem development, or incremental or near-term advancement, are explicitly out of scope for this program. Finally, while NIAC encourages daring vision and accepts the accompanying risk, proposals must be technically credible and plausibly implementable. This solicitation is open to any principal investigator or organization that has completed a NIAC Phase I study, but has not yet completed a Phase II study. Applicants from the prior NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts that have completed a Phase I study, but have not completed a Phase II study, are also eligible unless the reason for not completing a Phase II study was discontinuation at the midterm review. Affiliation with any educational institution, commercial or not-for-profit organization, research laboratory, government agency, or NASA Center (including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory) is permitted. Individuals may submit, as long as they meet the registration requirements for NSPIRES. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. Each electronic proposal system places requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the electronic proposal system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Specific proposal submission deadline dates, evaluation criteria, and submission information will be identified in the NRA. Proposals will be due on or before July 2, 2013. The number of awards will be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to NIAC Program representatives at hq-niac@mail.nasa.gov. Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and also included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved.

Funding Opportunity Description:	With the passage of the Affordable Care Act in March 2010, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) was amended in Section 3306 to provide additional funding for 2010 through 2012. With the passage of ATRA, the MIPPA programs have again been reauthorized for a total of $25 million[1] in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. This legislation builds upon the 2008 MIPPA legislation which provided for beneficiary outreach and included funding to State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs), Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), Aging and Disability Resource Center programs (ADRCs), and for a resource center to help coordinate efforts to inform older Americans about available Federal and State benefits. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Administration for Community Living (ACL) are jointly administering the MIPPA funding through a single announcement and a coordinated implementation and monitoring process as a model for similar state and local collaboration for this funding. The national MIPPA resource center will coordinate efforts to inform older Americans and beneficiaries with disabilities about the benefits available under federal and state programs, with an emphasis on providing information on the Low Income Subsidy and Medicare Savings Program benefits. This resource center, as it has in the past, will serve as a technical assistance resource center for the MIPPA grantees.

Funding Opportunity Description:	An estimated 99 percent of wet and upland prairies have been lost in the Willamette Valley from pre-settlement times. Consequently, many of the plant and animal species associated with these habitats have become threatened or endangered. Some of these rare habitats are protected and currently managed by the BLM. The BLM West Eugene Wetlands support populations of several US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) listed species, including the endangered Fender¿s blue butterfly, Bradshaw¿s lomatium, and Willamette daisy; and threatened Kincaid¿s lupine and Nelson¿s checkermallow. In 2005 the BLM developed a long term (10 year) land management implementation schedule for its parcels within the West Eugene Wetlands project area. This 10 year Environmental Assessment Schedule (EA) outlines targets for habitat conditions and provides guidance on the priority of work for maintenance, enhancement, and restoration projects. The objective of this program is to implement a variety of projects, including but not limited to, work involving BLM Special Status Species projects, native seed and plant projects, habitat restoration projects, invasive plant projects, and education and outreach projects.

Funding Opportunity Description:	The SCIRP Clinical Trial Award (CTA) mechanism was first offered in FY12. Since then, 17 CTA applications have been received, and 2 have been recommended for funding. This award mechanism supports the rapid implementation of Phase 0, I, or II clinical trials with the potential to have a major impact on treatment or management of SCI and its consequences. Funding from this award mechanism must support a clinical trial and may not be used for preclinical research studies. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. Principal Investigators (PIs) seeking funding for a preclinical research project should consider one of the other award mechanisms/funding opportunities being offered. The term “human subjects” is used in this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity to refer to individuals who will be recruited for or who will participate in the proposed clinical trial. For more information, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://cdmrp.org/Program_Announcements_and_Forms/. If the study proposed involves the use of a drug that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its investigational use, then an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA may be required and must be submitted to the FDA prior to the grant submission. If the proposed clinical trial involves an investigational device that has not been approved or cleared by FDA for its investigational clinical use, the study may be required to comply with the FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) regulations. If applicable, the IDE application must be submitted prior to the grant submission. The Government reserves the right to withdraw funding if the documented status of the IND or IDE has not been obtained within 6 months of the award date. The following are important aspects of submission for the Clinical Trial Award: • The proposed clinical trial is expected to begin no later than 12 months after the award date. • The proposed intervention to be tested should offer significant potential impact for individuals living with SCI and its consequences. • The proposed clinical trial should be directly applicable to the health care needs of military Service members, Veterans, or other individuals living with SCI. • The proposed clinical trial must be based on sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and critical review and analysis of the literature. • Inclusion of preliminary data relevant to the proposed clinical trial is required; Phase I or pilot clinical trial data are required for Phase II clinical trial applications. • The application should demonstrate availability of, and access to, a suitable patient population that will support a meaningful outcome for the proposed clinical trial. The PI should discuss how accrual goals will be achieved and how standards of care may impact the study population. • The application should demonstrate documented availability of and access to the drug/ compound, device, and/or other materials needed, as appropriate. • The proposed clinical trial should include clearly defined and appropriate endpoints, and use standard outcome measures, if applicable. • The application should include a clearly articulated statistical analysis plan, appropriate statistical expertise, and a power analysis reflecting sample size projections that will clearly answer the objectives of the proposed clinical trial. • The application should include a study coordinator(s) who will guide the clinical protocol through the local Institutional Review Board (IRB) of record and other regulatory approval processes, coordinate activities from all sites participating in the trial, and coordinate participant accrual. • The application should include a Transition Plan (including potential funding and resources) showing how the product will progress to the next clinical trial phase and/or delivery to the market after the successful completion of the SCIRP Clinical Trial Award. • The application should clearly demonstrate strong institutional support. • Partnerships between clinicians and bio-engineers are encouraged. • The application should demonstrate utilization of the spinal cord injury Common Data Element (CDE) standards developed through the collaboration of the International Spinal Cord Society, the American Spinal Injury Association, and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke CDE team, as referenced at http://www.commondataelements.ninds.nih.gov/SCI.aspx. Additionally, the Government reserves the right to identify repositories for submission of data for archive. Any costs associated with submission of data to such repositories will be addressed during award negotiations.

Funding Opportunity Description:	OVERVIEW: The St. Croix and Upper Mississippi Rivers are heavily used recreational areas because of their exceptional water quality and biological diversity and productivity. The rivers support nearly 40 mussel species and over 100 fish species including several that are threatened or endangered. The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and Mississippi National River and Recreational Area are likely on the verge of being colonized by bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (hereafter Asian carp). Asian carp have established populations in the Upper Mississippi River near Keokuk, Iowa. In 1996, 2011 and 2012, individual bighead carp were caught in the St. Croix River. In 2011, environmental DNA sampling indicated that silver carp were present in SACN and MISS (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Press Release). Zooplankton are key primary consumers in aquatic systems, limiting algal blooms and in turn supplying food for higher invertebrates and fish. Both species of Hypophthalmichthys can decimate zooplankton populations, and in both natural and experimental systems this impact has been shown to increase algal blooms and harm other planktivorous fish and fish fry. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: Test the null hypothesis that food web structure does not differ between the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers or between habitat types within rivers. Establish robust baseline data on pre-invasion food web structure to quantitatively evaluate future control and remediation efforts. Compare results with literature on Hypophthalmichthys spp. food preferences to identify habitats with food web structure most favorable to the growth and reproduction of invasive. Compare the St. Croix and Mississippi River Parks and identify rivers and/or habitat types with food web structure most dependent on pathways likely to be disrupted invasive carp. Results will be combined with known habitat preferences of the different carp species to direct removal and eradication policies and develop predictions about most likely impacts of carp on threatened and endangered species. Determine if gizzard shad are more dependent on planktonic (via zooplankton) or detrital carbon sources and if that varies in the presence of Asian carp (the latter portion of this objective depends on sampling in the Illinois River where Asian carp are abundant). Zooplankton were sampled in Lake St. Croix and above the dam at St. Croix Falls (WI) in 2010 and 2011. Results from analysis of the 2010 samples are complete and intriguing. This project is complete with one caveat: zooplankton richness and abundance was an order of magnitude higher than expected based on similar systems. Sample preparation and counting took nearly three times as long as expected, so only samples from 2010 were counted. Samples from 2011 were taken but will be counted in fall, 2013 pending further support. While crustacean plankton preserve well, the smaller plankton like rotifers do not. If the samples are not analyzed by the end of 2013 they will no longer be useful given the importance of rotifers and protists in river systems. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT: The College will provide the qualified researcher to conduct the project to meet the objectives and established management plan. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT: Participate and collaborate jointly with the Recipient in carrying out the scope of work. To provide a NPS technical representative to assist with specifics of the project as needed. Review and approve one stage of work before the next stage can begin.

Funding Opportunity Description:	Educating consumers to prevent health care fraud is the essence of the mission and message of the Administration for Community Living’s (ACL) Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program. The SMP mission is to empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report healthcare fraud, errors, and abuse through outreach, counseling, and education. The 54 SMP projects recruit and train volunteers to educate Medicare beneficiaries about how to protect their Medicare numbers, examine their Medicare Summary Notices to detect discrepancies, and report suspicious activity when detected. The SMP program seeks to empower seniors through increased awareness and understanding of health care programs to protect them from the economic and health-related consequences associated with Medicare fraud, error, and abuse. The SMP program, like many other federal, state, and local programs, must estimate the benefits that the program provides. However, since there is not currently a way to quantify the effects of prevention education, measuring the impact of the SMP program on the extent and cost of fraud and abuse is difficult. For that reason, with this Funding Opportunity Announcement, ACL seeks applications that will describe how to best conduct research on prevention education, such as that conducted by the SMP program, to determine how to best measure and quantify the effects of these efforts. This research may include, but is not limited to, identification of methodologies for measuring cost savings or avoidance associated with SMP’s fraud prevention efforts. Specifically, ACL is interested in reviewing and supporting applications that will describe how the applicant will: · Conduct a literature review of methods to quantify the effects of community education on prevention to identify an appropriate methodology for measuring these efforts in general and within the SMP context; · Determine how to best measure and estimate the effects of community education on health care fraud prevention according to the identified methodology; and · Develop and implement, in conjunction with selected volunteer SMP project grantees, a pilot study to demonstrate the above developed measures and tools using the SMP program and the program’s Medicare fraud prevention efforts. ACL plans to fund one (1) cooperative agreement at the federal funding level of $200,000 per year, over a three (3) year project period, pending availability of federal funds.

Funding Opportunity Description:	The SCIRP Qualitative Research Award mechanism was first offered in FY10. Since then, 21 Qualitative Research Award applications have been received, and 6 have been recommended for funding. The intent of the Qualitative Research Award is to support qualitative research studies that will help researchers and clinicians better understand the experiences of individuals with SCI and thereby identify the most effective paths for adjusting to disability and/or improving overall quality of life, health, and functional status after SCI. This mechanism is specifically focused on military and Veteran populations in the years after SCI, examining the issues, barriers, and promoters of success for Service members during the transition from initial injury and acute care through rehabilitation and community reintegration; therefore, collaboration with military researchers and clinicians is encouraged. Factors that may affect the rehabilitation and reintegration of spinal cord injured soldiers include, but are not limited to, age, gender, ethnicity, family members/caregivers, psychological health, severity of injury, type of medical care (e.g., civilian versus military facility), and co-morbid conditions. Qualitative research is a form of social inquiry that uses open-ended variables and focuses on understanding how people interpret and make sense of their experiences and the world in which they live (i.e., seek to understand the human experience). Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from basic discovery, population-based studies, a clinician’s first-hand knowledge of patients, or anecdotal data. Appropriate qualitative research topics include, but are not limited to, the explorative, descriptive, predictive, or explanatory study of: • Barriers preventing soldiers with spinal cord injuries from returning to active duty, returning home, or reintegrating into the community. • Impact of personal factors and co-morbid medical conditions that influence or mediate a patient’s health or quality of life during hospitalization following SCI. • Impact of cultural values and beliefs on the success of rehabilitation and community reintegration. • Impact of medical care decisions (e.g., choice of civilian versus military facility, treatment type, etc.) on the success of rehabilitation and community reintegration. • Impact of care provision on the spouse and/or families of the spinal cord injured to include career issues, physical strain and injury, intimacy, etc. • Factors and strategies for improving psychosocial adjustment and adjustment to disability for patients and their family and friends; the influence of family and friends’ involvement in the SCI patient’s life experiences on quality of life and health outcomes. • Impact of perceived access to care and care coordination on effectiveness of care delivery and success of rehabilitation. • Impact of aging and age-related changes in social support that may limit one’s ability to become more fully integrated into society. Preliminary or published data relevant to SCI and the proposed research project are encouraged, but not required. Research involving human subjects and human anatomical substances is permitted; however, clinical trials are not allowed under this funding opportunity. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested with a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. For more information on clinical trials and clinical research, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided on the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) eReceipt System at https://cdmrp.org/Program_Announcements_and_Forms/. Principal Investigators (PIs) wishing to apply for funding for a clinical trial should utilize the FY13 SCIRP Clinical Trial Award mechanism (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-13-SCIRP-CTA).

Funding Opportunity Description:	The LCRP Clinical Exploration Award mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY13. The intent of the LCRP Clinical Exploration Award (CEA) is to support early-phase, proof-of-principle clinical trials and correlative studies to investigate hypothesis-based, innovative interventions and/or avenues of research that have the potential to resolve current clinical barriers and result in a profound impact on the clinical management of lung cancer. While therapeutic approaches proposed for testing through the CEA must represent novel, hypothesisbased, “outside-the-box” approaches for treating lung cancer, they may include therapies already in clinical use, or undergoing clinical testing, for other diseases, provided that the proposed use for lung cancer would lead to a major advancement for treating the disease. It is anticipated that outcomes from studies funded by this award will provide scientific rationale for subsequent development of larger, efficacy-based clinical trials of interventions that will transform lung cancer clinical care. Submissions from and partnerships with investigators at Military Medical Treatment Facilities, Military labs, and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers and research laboratories are encouraged. Clinical Trials: The CEA will support clinical trials encompassing Phase 0, Phase I, or pilot Phase II for drug or drug combinations, Class II or III devices, or other types of trials that conduct early clinical testing of innovative approaches for lung cancer.

Funding Opportunity Description:	The RBOG program promotes sustainable economic development in rural communities with exceptional needs through provision of training and technical assistance for business development, entrepreneurs, and economic development officials and to assist with economic development planning. Rural Development is participating in the Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP), which is a new Administration-wide initiative that will accelerate the resurgence of manufacturing and help cultivate an environment for businesses to create well-paying manufacturing jobs in regions across the country. The IMCP is designed to reward communities that demonstrate best practices in attracting and expanding manufacturing by using long-term planning that integrates targeted investments in workforce training, infrastructure, research, and other key assets. The IMCP is being initiated in FY 2013 as EDA, USDA, SBA and EPA each provide funding for regional implementation strategy grants. The agencies will allocate funding through existing programs to advance this critical national priority. Strategies developed by these grants, as well as existing strategies and those otherwise under development, will enhance regions’ efforts to compete for future proposed large scale IMCP grants (10 to 100 times the size of the implementation strategy grants). These grants will be given to communities with the best strategies for attracting private investment. IMCP partner agencies will coordinate funding across agencies in order to leverage complementary activities while also preventing duplication of efforts. Specific information on how applicants can participate in IMCP can be found at Section V.10 of this Notice.
