1. Scholarly Editions Grant
DEADLINE: November 5,
2008
Awards are made for one to three years and normally
range from $50,000 to $100,000 per year.
Scholarly Editions Grants support the preparation of
editions of pre-existing texts and documents that are currently inaccessible or
available in inadequate editions. Projects must be undertaken by a team of at
least one editor and one other staff member. Grants typically support editions
of significant literary, philosophical, and historical materials, but other

2. Collaborative Humanities Research
Grants
DEADLINE: November 5,
2008
Awards are made for one to three years and normally
range from $25,000 to $100,000 per year.
Collaborative Research Grants support original
research
undertaken by a team of two or more scholars or research
coordinated
by an individual scholar that, because of its scope or
complexity,
requires additional staff and resources beyond the
individual's salary.

3. 2008-09 UF CLAS Preliminary Study
Grants
DEADLINE: November 6,
2009
These grants
are designed to help faculty produce preliminary results to support resubmission
of a major grant proposal. Note that these are not typical "seed grants" in that
it is required that a
proposal for a grant of at least $100,000 has been submitted recently and
declined by the agency. The purpose of the CLAS PSG program is to
enhance the likelihood that such proposals will be funded upon resubmission to
the same agency. Indirect cost returns to the college will be used to fund this
program.
Please note
that faculty who recently received large startup packages meant to fund
preliminary work will not be eligible for the grant. Priority will be given to
faculty who have not previously received major funding and those who have had
limited funding for several years and are seeking to increase their grant
support.
The
guidelines (http://www.clas.ufl.edu/forms/2008-CLAS-PSG-guidelines.pdf) should
be consulted for details on the application process. Each proposal must be
covered with an application/budget form (a pdf form that can be filled using
Adobe Reader or Acrobat;
http://www.clas.ufl.edu/forms/2008-CLAS-PSG-application.pdf) and consists of a 2
page project description/justification, the declined proposal/reviewers'
comments, and a CV. The PSG maximum budget is $15,000 per grant.

4. Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the
Geosciences (OEDG)
DEADLINE: Letter of intent November
11, 2008, application due December 11,
2008
OEDG Planning
Grants offer up to 12 months of funding, not to exceed
$40,000.
Track 1 proposals
may now request funding for up to three years, with maximum total funding of
$200,000.
Track 2 awards
support projects for up to five years. The maximum award under Track 2 is $2
million, but the average award size is expected to be on the order of $1
million.
The Directorate for Geosciences of the National Science
Foundation supports research and education in the Atmospheric, Earth, and Ocean
Sciences. The Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG)
Program is designed to address the fact that certain groups are underrepresented
in the geosciences relative to the proportions of those groups in the general
population. The primary goal of the OEDG Program is to increase participation in
the geosciences by African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans
(American Indians and Alaskan Natives), Native Pacific Islanders (Polynesians or
Micronesians), and persons with disabilities. A secondary goal of the program is
to increase the perceived relevance of the geosciences among broad and diverse
segments of the population.

5. Collaborative Humanities and Related Social Science
Research
DEADLINE: November 12,
2008
Awards range from $60,000 to
$140,000.
The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS)
supports collaborative research in the humanities and related social sciences.
Collaborations need not be interdisciplinary or inter-institutional, but must
involve at least two scholars; applicants at the same institution must
demonstrate why local funding is insufficient to support the project. It is
hoped that projects of successful applicants will help demonstrate the range and
value of both collaborative research and inquiry in the humanities, and model
how such collaboration may be carried out successfully. Collaborations that
involve the participation of assistant and associate faculty members, or that of
scholars at different kinds of institutions, are particularly encouraged.

6. Sustainable Digital Data Preservation and Access
Network Partners (Data Net)
DEADLINE: Pre-proposal November 13,
2008, Final deadline: May 15, 2009
Estimated Number of
Awards: 5 - Two to three awards are
anticipated in each of two review cycles (one review cycle for fiscal year
FY2008 awards and one for FY2009) for a total of five awards, contingent on the
quality of proposals received and pending the availability of
funds.
Each award is limited to a total of up to $20,000,000
(direct plus indirect costs) for up to 5 years.
Science and engineering research and education are
increasingly digital and increasingly data-intensive. Digital data are not only
the output of research but provide input to new hypotheses, enabling new
scientific insights and driving innovation. Therein lays one of the major
challenges of this scientific generation: how to develop the new methods,
management structures and technologies to manage the diversity, size, and
complexity of current and future data sets and data streams. This solicitation
addresses that challenge by creating a set of exemplar national and global data
research infrastructure organizations (dubbed Data Net Partners) that provide
unique opportunities to communities of researchers to advance science and/or
engineering research and learning.

design combine to present the humanities ideas. Applicants must have consulted
