The objectives are to conduct dendrochronological collections in the Jemez Mountains (New Mexico) region during 2007 and 2008 for reconstructions of hydrological variability over past centuries; including: 1. Dendrochronological collections from two previously-collected tree-ring sites, based on the strength of the hydroclimatic signal and potential to both update and extend the chronology back in time with remnant material. 2. Dendrochronological collections from one new chronology from a moisture-stressed site with old trees and remnant material. 3. Processing of wood from all three sites into three site tree-ring chronologies. 4. Develop and analyze preliminary dendrohydrological reconstructions several centuries in length.0This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.

Grants may range in size from approximately $50,000 to $200,000. The purpose of this grant competition is to assist national, regional, and statewide nonprofit organizations in planning for and implementing activities within their networks and communities to:• increase volunteer retention;• expand current use of volunteers by creating new volunteer roles and recruiting the appropriate volunteers to fill them; • improve both the impact of volunteers’ activities and how that impact is measured; and• develop strategies that sustain the impact and results associated with the project after the conclusion of Corporation funding.Examples of the types of activities this grant may support include:• assessing current volunteer use and management practices; • designing competency-based volunteer roles and descriptions;• engaging stakeholders in collaborative planning and implementation processes; • developing new or improved measurement systems to track the impact of volunteers; • conducting recruitment activities or developing strategic partnerships to attract the appropriate volunteers to fill newly created volunteer roles; and• implementing volunteer management practices -- such as screening, orientation, training, and recognition -- to increase retention. Applicants should demonstrate how their proposed project would, over a two-year period, significantly improve retention, expand their current use of volunteers, and help them improve and better measure the impact of their volunteers. Organizations are encouraged to collaborate with existing volunteer connector organizations in planning and implementing their proposed activities. Volunteer connectors are organizations that specialize in assisting individuals or groups with finding appropriate volunteer opportunities while also providing organizations that use volunteers with services such as recruitment support and training and technical assistance related to volunteer management.0The Corporation wants to ensure that all eligible organizations are able to compete on an equal basis for federal financial assistance. Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to nonprofit organizations, including national intermediaries; state commissions on service; volunteer centers; institutions of higher education; national or regional education agencies; educational institutions; faith-based and other community organizations; and private foundations. We encourage applications from organizations not currently receiving Corporation funding as well as from organizations that are now receiving funds under the programs of the Corporation, including AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, and Senior Corps. We expect the successful applicants will demonstrate how these grants and the proposed project will have a large-scale scope and leverage significant impact within their organization’s network or amongst a group of collaborating organizations. Organizations are encouraged to collaborate with existing volunteer connector organizations in planning and implementing their proposed activities. Volunteer connectors are organizations that specialize in assisting individuals or groups with finding appropriate volunteer opportunities while also providing organizations that use volunteers with services such as recruitment support and training and technical assistance related to volunteer management.

Funding Opportunity Description 1. Description and Purpose ODEP will award one cooperative agreement to establish a national technical assistance and research center for increasing employment and economic independence for adults with disabilities. The overall purpose of this effort is to build leadership and partnership across workforce development, economic development, and relevant partner agencies and systems, including generic and disability-specific agencies and systems, so that they work together strategically and effectively to increase employment outcomes and economic self-sufficiency for adults with disabilities. The Center will: Conduct research to identify, validate, document, and otherwise promote effective practices and policies in targeted goal areas; develop and disseminate information; provide technical assistance; encourage collaboration and partnership across State and local generic and disability-specific systems and programs, both public and private; and work with States and localities on multiple strategies in targeted goal areas for improving employment outcomes and economic self-sufficiency for adults with disabilities. Activities of the Center must be based on the assumptions that: people with disabilities have the ability to make and implement decisions (with support as appropriate) about their own work life, and that they have the ability to mobilize and develop resources (with support as necessary) to move from poverty and dependency to independence and productivity through employment. They must also be based on the assumption that there is a need for multiple generic and disability- specific systems and services to effectively partner across traditional boundaries. In accomplishing these goals, the Center will provide transformational leadership for translating innovation and emerging successful solutions from isolated demonstrations to systemic practices, and will act as a voice for elevating the discussion about employment and disability nationally. The Center's research-related activities will improve systems capacity to provide leadership for increasing employment and economic self-sufficiency at the State and local level in targeted goal areas, and must include the development of policy-related recommendations for consideration across agencies and systems. It must include, but is not limited to, the following activities: Implementing research, demonstration activities, and otherwise developing evidence (either through qualitative and quantitative methods, as appropriate) in targeted goal areas for effective models and approaches to increasing employment and economic self-sufficiency for adults with disabilities; Promoting and documenting the impact of actions of key leadership personnel at the State and local levels across public and private systems and agencies utilizing employment approaches in targeted goal areas in select states; Conducting an analysis of the interaction between and among various strategies and approaches in targeted goal areas as they exist in public policy, both nationally and in select states; and Developing evidence across public and private systems and agencies of effective leadership strategies in targeted goal areas. [[Page 39839]] The Center's technical assistance and dissemination activities must include, but are not limited to, the following: Developing evidence-based information and materials (including multi-media materials, curricula, and other relevant accessible products) in targeted goal areas for use in increasing leadership capacity for advancing employment and economic self- sufficiency for adults with disabilities; Preparing and disseminating appropriate reports and documents related to targeted goal areas in publications including, but not limited to, peer-reviewed journals; Providing intensive technical assistance, training, and information in targeted goal areas to ODEP's grantees including documenting the impact of such actions; Providing information to educate relevant stakeholders, including State and local policymakers, systems personnel, key leadership personnel, educators, and other relevant individuals and groups about changes in policy and practice needed in order to increase employment and economic self-sufficiency for adults with disabilities, and the evidence supporting action in targeted goal areas under this solicitation; Providing technical assistance, training, and information to increase understanding and utilization by relevant workforce systems and agencies of strategies developed in targeted goal areas; Serving as a repository and dissemination center for materials and effective practices developed by current and former ODEP grantees; and Creating and maintaining a user-friendly Web site with relevant information and documents in a form that meets a government or industry-recognized standard for accessibility. The Center's collaboration and partnership activities must include, but are not limited to: Developing evidence on strategies for, and results of, effective interagency partnership and collaboration between and among Federal, State, and local systems and agencies, both generic and disability-specific, that effectively leverage and maximize available resources in ways that provide choice, control and self-direction to individual job seekers; and Developing, maintaining, and documenting relationships that result in partnerships and collaborations to foster employment and economic self-sufficiency for adults with disabilities. Partners may include but are not limited to the following entities: (1) State departments and agencies across generic and disability- specific systems such as departments of Labor, Economic Development, Vocational Rehabilitation, Veterans Affairs, Mental Health, Medicaid, Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities, Education, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); and Governors' Committees on Employment of People with Disabilities and Developmental Disability Councils; (2) Local Work Investment Act (WIA) service providers, employment service providers, local One-Stop Career Centers and the Veterans Employment and Training Service; State and local financial services entities; social security benefits planning and assistance programs; community and faith-based organizations and disability organizations; community colleges and other training entities; and providers of employment-related supports, including public housing and transportation authorities; (3) Employers and their professional networks; (4) Federal agencies including the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, Treasury, Transportation, Education, and Veterans' Affairs; the Small Business Administration and Social Security Administration; and other generic and disability-specific agencies that work in areas related to improving employment and economic self-sufficiency for adults with disabilities and others with complex barriers to employment; and (5) ODEP-sponsored and other Federal technical assistance projects that provide information about, or work in areas related to, employment (including self employment), economic development, and/or enhancing employment profitability through use of relevant tax incentives, financial literacy, work incentives, benefits assistance and related areas). Additionally, the Center will work with ODEP to implement on-site, intensive, targeted technical assistance and research in two pilot states or economic development regions. The pilot project will be competitively selected by the third quarter of year 1 of Center activities. Staff and expert consultant time and project resources dedicated to provide technical assistance, research, and training support to the competitively selected states or regions will be negotiated with ODEP as part of the Cooperative Agreement within thirty (30) days of the date of the award in year 1. However, it is expected that a minimum of $600,000 is to be spent on the above component of the work plan. Year 1 activities will include the development of targeted technical assistance materials, a work plan (to be approved by ODEP) for this component of Center activities, and design and implementation of a competitive selection process for the states or economic development regions. Intensive, on-site, targeted activities will begin immediately with the competitively selected states or regions no later than the first quarter of year 2 of Center activities, and will focus on implementation of goal areas defined in this SGA throughout the states or economic development regions. Additional funding for this activity will be dedicated to this component of Center activities during years 3-5 pending ODEP's exercise of the option periods provided herein, and the availability of funds and adequacy of performance. The remainder of the funding that is provided is to be spent on carrying out the general technical assistance, research, and training functions in targeted goal areas described previously.0Eligible applicants are consortia which may include a combination of any two or more of the following: Public/private non-profits or for- profit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations) and universities and colleges all with demonstrated appropriate experience in providing technical assistance, and conducting research and demonstrations in targeted goal areas defined in this solicitation for increasing employment and economic self- sufficiency for adults with disabilities.

The project is titled “Cartographic enhancement for new generation topographic map graphics”. . The USGS took over responsibility for mapping the country in 1879 and has been the primary civilian mapping agency of the United States ever since. The best known USGS maps are the 1:24,000-scale topographic maps, also known as 7.5-minute quadrangles. More than 55,000 7.5-minute maps were made to cover the 48 conterminous States. This is the only uniform map series that covers the entire area of the United States in considerable detail. The 7.5-minute map series was officially completed in 1992, and the program was replaced by digital The National Map in 2001. Subsequently, the new digital topo maps should take advantage of new cartographic techniques to ensure business areas whether recreation, emergency operations, planning, and many others can optimally utilize these new graphic products. Research is needed to investigate procedures, and product designs for the new generation of graphic maps. The objective of this project is to research and optimize use of shading, symbology, colors, line weights and other cartographic elements that will allow business areas to discover and optimize maps information for many purposes and projects. Elements to be accomplished through this cooperative agreement: Research into modification of topographic maps leading to new generation map graphics products that will: 1.make it easier for customers to meet their programmatic needs/requirements 2.provide unique business area specific map products 3. Manipulation of map scale, change color schemes, fonts, shading, symbology and other map attributes to optimize the usability of the map for specific uses such recreation, emergency response, ecosystem/natural resource research and other scientific purposes, or general use. 4.optimize graphics changes as needed to accommodate the media of release such as over the web, on paper, use on mobile devices. Specific deliverables/product from this study will include: sample printed maps, digital output that illustrate the four above focuses of this research. At end of the study presentation to NGPO staff on products and methods to achieve graphic products developed in the study.

This Research Announcement offers a venue by which research ideas proposed by young faculty can be sponsored and promoted within the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) at DARPA. The Young Faculty Award (YFA) is expected to provide MTO with revolutionary research ideas that are critical to future technology developments. This solicitation is for single-author grant proposals for concept development and validation in one, or combinations of, the following thrust areas of interest to MTO: 1) electronics, 2) photonics, 3) micro and nano electro mechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), 4) architectures, and 5) algorithms. Proposers must select one of these thrust areas for their proposal and identify this thrust on the cover page. Proposed research should focus on innovations that enable revolutionary advances in physics, materials, and devices. Speculative and high-risk ideas are strongly encouraged. The proposal should clearly state the problem being addressed, the proposed solution, and critical milestones the YFA research activity will address. Note the problem statement can be broader than the focused effort addressed in the first year of research, but the interrelationship of the two must be clearly articulated. The initial research should focus on a clearly defined problem which can be answered in a 12 to 18-month activity consisting of critical analysis, design, or experimental exploration. MTO expects that successful YFA efforts will be a precursor and proof of a concept solution to a larger problem that is sufficiently important and challenging to warrant a follow-on, full-scale DARPA program embodied in a future Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.

Of particular interest are projects that build the human and institutional capacity to effectively conserve and manage natural protected areas in Latin America and the Caribbean. Program objectives are: 1) To advance, through capacity building, the transition of protected areas from legally established but under-implemented “paper parks” to effectively managed landscapes, benefiting species of regional concern; and 2) To develop, strengthen and replicate high-quality conservation training programs that reach the priority audiences associated with protected areas. The priority audiences for the training supported by this Program include: Protected area managers and administrators; Protected area guards and rangers; Protected area outreach and education specialists; Community leaders (living in and around protected areas); Upper-level students (working on projects in and around protected areas); and Decision-makers who influence protected areas (including private landowners, legislators, public officials). The subject areas for training/capacity building initiatives that this Program seeks to support include: • Protected Area/Buffer Zone Management • Sustainable Natural Resource Management • General Ecology and Biodiversity Practice • Private Management/Co-management • Law: Policy Understanding and Enforcement • Monitoring & Evaluation (species and populations) • Wildlife Disease • Human-Wildlife Conflict • Illegal Hunting • Ecosystem Rehabilitation/Restoration • Community Engagement/Public Participation • Environmental Education and Outreach • Environmental Leadership & Governance Development • Conflict Resolution/Management • Participatory Public Policy Development • Best Practices • Conservation Incentives (economic or other) • Conservation Finance Mechanisms • Sustainable Development and Ecotourism • Sustainable Resource Use (harvest & collection) • Project Development/Management • Grant Writing and Fundraising • Increasing Media Awareness • Establishing/Managing Partnerships (with domestic and international institutions/agencies that directly or indirectly influence protected areas) • Training Needs Assessment (identify & prioritize) Note: this list does not exclude other possible relevant topics, and not all subject areas will be relevant to all audiences. Projects should take place in Latin America or the Caribbean, ideally in a recognized high priority ecosystem or ecoregion of biome, or a key location associated with flagship, endangered or migratory species of regional concern. If work is to be conducted outside that region, the proposal must explain why it is preferable that the project is implemented elsewhere.0Federal agencies are also eligible to applyYeshttp://www.fws.gov/international/DICprograms/lac.htmThis program has two annual deadlines.
