The objective of the Alzheimer s Disease Prevention Trials initiative is to enable the testing of promising pharmacological and non–pharmacological interventions in asymptomatic at–risk individuals and/or individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and in doing so identify avenues for prevention of Alzheimer s disease (AD). This funding opportunity will support Phase II or Phase III clinical trials testing pharmacological (small molecules and biologics) and non–pharmacological interventions, in cognitively normal individuals at–risk for AD (e.g., individuals at risk genetically, older adults positive for biomarker evidence of Alzheimer s disease pathology) or in individuals with MCI using a combination of biomarkers (fluid and imaging) and cognitive measures as outcomes. These applications may include trials testing combinations of interventions that attempt to address multiple risk factors simultaneously (e.g., obesity, hypertension, diabetes, physical inactivity, anxiety, and depression). Investigators will be expected to collect DNA and other biosamples from these studies to enable subsequent interrogation of treatment responsiveness, as well as examination of predictors of decline in the groups receiving placebo. Responsive Phase III clinical trial applications will have established proof of mechanism or target engagement at earlier stages of clinical development for the intervention(s) being tested. The intervention(s) being tested in Phase III trials should also have
adequate safety data for the populations under study. Responsive Phase II clinical trial applications will be designed to provide or confirm proof of mechanism and/or evidence of target engagement for the intervention(s)
being tested. These applications should also provide evidence of safety from earlier phase clinical trials and should include further evaluation of safety in the trial design.
Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
Award: For each application Direct Costs are limited to $4.5 million per year. Application budgets need to reflect actual needs of the proposed project. Award period: 5 Years.
Letter of Intent due: December 17, 2012 .

ISSS funds attendance at international development-oriented seminars in Australia and overseas. The scheme helps to develop knowledge and technical expertise in developing countries, and builds linkages between the government, academic and community sectors in Australia and our partner developing countries. ISSS is a discretionary scheme. Funds are limited and competition for them is strong. Applications need to provide a convincing case for support, with clear objectives and details of how they will be achieved. Successful applications must demonstrate tangible outcomes and practical contributions to the economic development/social advancement of developing countries.
Organisers of the seminar must apply on behalf of the participants. Seminars must be initiated or co-sponsored by an Australian organisation. Australian organisations can be Government (local, state and federal) Departments, Public and Private sector organisations, academic and research institutions and NGO's. A company managing a seminar will not necessarily be regarded as a co–sponsor. Only one application will be considered for any one seminar. Organisations cannot apply for ISSS funding if they are receiving funding from AusAID which is already supporting this seminar or related activities.
The ISSS is an ongoing annual program however applications should be lodged 3 months ahead of the seminar start date. Application should be submitted at least three months prior to the scheduled seminar and can be submitted up to 12 months in advance. AusAID requires approximately 5–6 weeks completing the assessment of an application and related administrative processes. Any extra time required by conference organisers for the obtaining of visas and processing payment of airfares and allowances needs to be taken into consideration by the organisers when an application is lodged.

Research Program
Earthwatch is currently undertaking a strategic review of our program structure in an effort to improve our ability to meet our mission and build a long–term legacy into the scientific research we sponsor. As part of this process we have reframed our Science Program around four Research Areas (RAs): Climate Change, Oceans, Cultural Heritage, and Ecosystem Services which we feel will define Earthwatch as a key player in conservation research and education. During this strategic review process, we are placing a temporary hold on reviewing new project proposals. Nonetheless, we encourage you to start thinking about and drafting the details of your project. Below you will find a summary of the characteristics we look for in a research project and details of our application process.
Earthwatch Institute promotes sustainable conservation by creating partnerships between scientists, practitioners, educators and the general public. We primarily operate on a system of participant–based funding whereby volunteers (recruited by Earthwatch) pay for the privilege of directly assisting scientists with their work in the field. This unique funding model enables us to support field research in a variety of disciplines, on the basis of a researcher's need for volunteers and Earthwatch's ability to find them. Our volunteers are highly motivated non–specialists who help researchers to collect data, record observations and perform a variety of research tasks as required.
The first step in the process for applying for a grant is to submit a concept note, at least 18 months in advance of the proposed field season, which outlines the project, along with a CV from each of the Principal Investigators. Research objectives must be clearly stated, and linked to scientific and applied outcomes. The research abstract must include a concise theoretical framework, methods, expected results, and means of analysis and dissemination. The concept note will be reviewed by an Earthwatch internal committee, and a decision will then be made on whether or not to invite a full proposal. All full proposals received will be independently peer–reviewed. A funding decision will be made based on the comments of the reviewers and provision of a workable budget.

Visiting Researchers
Funding is provided for research scientists and engineers of acknowledged standing to visit a UK research organisation. The visiting researcher can be from anywhere in the world, including the UK.
Eligibility: Up to 12 months' funding is available per visiting researcher to cover salary costs, travel and subsistence. The researcher can either make one long visit or a series of shorter visits within the 12 month period.
The host UK researcher needs to apply for funding, not the visiting researcher. All UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) may apply. HEIs are defined as those organisations that are funded by the Funding Councils.
While giving can be easy, responsible giving is more challenging. The Farrell Family Foundation (FFF) is determined to make each gift with a sense of purpose and with the clear expectation of measurable outcomes. The preferred method of making major gifts is through "matching funds," as it encourages the receiving non–profit organization to work harder to solicit other gifts, while inspiring greater confidence in other donors. Through matching gifts the FFF's contribution can potentially be greatly enhanced.
Grant Requirements: •All donor recipients must be qualified tax exempt organizations under section 501 ( C ) 3 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the equivalent federal designation in another country. • Grants will be given to organizations that demonstrate that they have competent management who have a history of delivering results in an effective and cost efficient manner. Levels of overhead expenses will be taken into consideration. •Grant recipients must have the ability and willingness to measure and report results. •An underlying philosophy that runs throughout all FFF contributions is the promotion of self-reliance, responsibility and accountability.
The primary focus of the FFF will be in the following areas: EDUCATION, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON TECHNOLOGY – Gifts will be made to tertiary institutions, as well as secondary schools oriented toward technology. Ideally these schools will serve underprivileged children who have the capability but not the resources to reach their full potential. HEALTH AND HUMAN WELFARE – A FFF goal is to improve the health, well-being and self–sufficiency of members of society who require a helping hand to get them out of difficulty, but have the desire and will to eventually become independent and productive citizens. THE ARTS – Recognizing that arts and culture play an important role in society as a whole, support will be given to organizations that provide quality in their productions/exhibitions, access to the entire community and strong outreach and educational programs. The Foundation has an ongoing review policy and proposals are reviewed quarterly. Please refer to the FFF website for submission details.

Tactical Research Fund
The aim of the TRF is to allow the FRDC to provide investment funds to its stakeholders in a timely manner to take advantage of opportunities, avert threats, or manage unforeseen events, as they arise. A TRF project may be of an urgent 'break–the–glass' type; or, it could also be a project that is used to overcome significant hurdles in, or to significantly fast track, important stakeholder processes, including production. In these cases it is likely that the adoption and benefits will be significantly brought forward if the project had not been funded at all.
The FRDC– investment criteria specifically for the Tactical Research Fund are: The project should be a high priority and driven by the relevant stakeholders. The project proposal must formally demonstrate that the stakeholder supports the proposed project as a high priority, aimed at achieving a specific outcome or responding to an unforseen event. The project's outputs should be immediately adoptable by the stakeholder in order to achieve the specific outcome; FRDC investment (including any industry cash contributions) must not exceed $75,000 (this is not inclusive of in–kind contributions); The project must be completed within 18 months.
Developing an Application. Applications must be developed in consultation with the relevant stakeholder (which includes Fisheries Research Advisory Bodies - FRABs). FRABs themselves may commission the development of an application, based on the needs outlined by stakeholders, or to address priorities in their strategic plans. An application for TRF investment must be submitted using FishNet (the FRDC's electronic application submission system).

Animal health researchers have pursued pet contraceptives and non–surgical sterilants for years, but a permanent sterilizing product has yet to emerge. Meanwhile, basic reproductive biology research has greatly advanced, and many new technologies are on the horizon. By offering the Michelson Prize in Reproductive Biology, Found Animals hopes to encourage researchers from a variety of scientific disciplines to take on the challenge of non–surgical sterilization for dogs and cats. By incentivizing scientists who may have been unaware of the issue of pet overpopulation to get involved, Found Animals hopes an innovative solution will come to light quickly.The Foundation recognizes that research required to develop and test pharmaceuticals takes time and money; and many interested parties may not have access to the resources needed to initiate and maintain this research. For that reason, Found Animals is also offering the companion Michelson Grants in Reproductive Biology providing funding for promising research in pursuit of non–surgical sterilization technology.
Michelson Grants: Grant funding of up to $250,000 per year for up to three years per grant is available through the Michelson Grants to fund research in pursuit of permanent contraceptives for cats and dogs.Letters of intent for the Michelson Grants are accepted at anytime. If the letter of intent is approved, the applicant will have the opportunity to submit a grant proposal and will be given a deadline for submission. Grant proposal deadlines are three times per year. The upcoming deadlines are : July 6, 2012 and November 6, 2012.
The $25 million Michelson Prize will be offered to the first entity to provide Found Animals Foundation with a single dose, safe and effective non-surgical sterilant for male and female cats and dogs.
Found Animals Foundation encourages scientists from all fields to compete for the Michelson Prize & Grants, including but not limited to researchers in disciplines such as Biology, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Endocrinology, Gene Silencing, Immunology, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Reproductive Biology, and Theriogenology. Applicants may begin the process of applying for the Michelson Prize at any time.
Please refer to the website for submission details for Grants and Prize.
The Problem Each year 6-8 million cats and dogs enter US shelters and 3-4 million animals are euthanized.
The Solution A low cost, non–surgical method of cat and dog sterilization would allow non–profits, animal care centers, and NGOs to sterilize large populations of cats and dogs and reduce the number of homeless and unwanted animals that are killed each year in shelters.

Identification of Project(s) for Funding
Rather than inviting applications from a broad section of the public, the Foundation will each year identify potential candidates for grants in the Foundation's nominated priority area.
The Foundation's current priority area of focus is Projects focussed on the health risks for young people arising out of obesity, such as diabetes, and other related health issues.
Although organisations should no longer apply to the Foundation for a grant, if an organisation has a project which relates to the Foundation's current priority area, it may register a request to be considered by the Foundation by lodging a Project Notification. Further details are on the website. Please submit your application through the Monash Research Office.
Any Project Notification received by the Foundation will be considered at the Foundation's Board meetings held in October 2007 and April 2008. As such Project Notifications must be submitted for notification by 30 September 2007 and 31 March 2008 respectively. The Foundation's Board meets approximately four times per year, and accordingly a period of some months may elapse between lodgment of a Project Notification and it being selected for detailed consideration.
The MDC provides a mechanism for attracting commercial investment from individual enterprises and matching this with surplus Commonwealth R&D funds. The objective of MLA's R&D partnership program is to significantly increase the level of investment in R&D by the red meat industry and increase the innovation culture and capability of individual enterprises and the industry as a whole.
The scope for projects is broad and may cover innovation at any stage of development, in any aspect of the production, processing, storage, transport, retailing and marketing of meat and livestock (and related co–products). Projects may arise from ideas from the proposing company, or MLA may seek expressions of interest to advance the development of innovations arising from our R&D programs. Projects will generally fit into one of the following two categories: Innovation demonstration projects or Commercial innovation projects.
Companies wishing to apply may make initial contact and submit a brief (1–2 page) project concept paper.
MLA is primarily funded by transaction levies paid by producers on livestock sales, and dollar–for–dollar funds contributed by the Federal Government for investment in research and development (R&D). Working in consultation with industry, MLA develops and delivers a wide range of R&D projects aligned with the Federal Government's national and rural research priorities to create an innovative, sustainable industry.
Eligible project proposals addressing target areas may cover a range of R&D and research adoption development stages including: basic research, applied research, and communication, extension and demonstration of research findings. Projects may arise out of ideas from the proposing company, or MLA may seek expressions of interest to advance the development of innovations arising from our R&D programs.
Those wishing to apply may submit a project outline using the preliminary project application form available from MLA's website at www.mla.com.au (go to "Research & Development" and select "funding opportunities"). If the concept is well advanced, a full project application form should be completed. Alternatively you can email an application form request to applications@mla.com.au
The project or activity must pertain to the field of either the arts or health or a blend of both of these areas of interest and should fulfill one or more of the following criteria to be deemed eligible for consideration of funding. CREATES DISCOVERY in the arts and or health fields by breaking new ground and setting up opportunities for the future. INCREASES THE CAPACITY of communities to foster their arts and health activities and the capacity of talented individuals with the commitment and potential to improve our world. ENABLES ESTABLISHMENT of arts or health activities with real potential to take off and be ongoing.
All applications are to be made online using the online application. The Foundation does not accept hard–copy submissions.
The Trust has an environment / conservation based prority with a community focus. Projects may also have a social welfare / education focus depending on the discretion of the trustees, but ideally should be environmental/conservation projects. Funding ranges between $100 to $10,000 and is based on merit. Applicants should expect a ten week turnaround from date of submission being received as Board Meetings held on an informal basis 4 times a year (hence long turn around period).
The objectives of the Small Grants Program are: To stay in touch with community needs, To be flexible for the benefit of the community, To provide a quick response to community needs.
The Sidney Myer Foundation strongly believes that education is a crucial tool in reducing poverty, promoting sustainable practices, developing self expression, and promoting a just and civil society. Through education, people can build a world that is sustainable, is innovative, and builds strong communities.
The current priority areas for the Education Small Grants Program are as follows: Local community and school based projects to achieve education outcomes for 0–25 year olds, Small, discreet projects that meet the needs of a community rather than supplementary funding for large projects, and Rural and regional communities.
The Foundation takes a broad view of poverty: including the lack of secure income, culture, housing, health, community relationships, and employment, as well as a lack of financial resources. The links between poverty and poor health are well known and despite growth in national and world economies, poverty and related socio–economic inequalities in health remain significant. Health in indigenous communities in Australia is among the worst in the developed world. Impoverishment and disadvantage have an impact on all aspects of life, over generations, and diminish health, participation, and life itself. The Foundations goals are to address underlying problems that give rise to poverty and disadvantage, and to find ways to strengthen systems, services and communities to prevent impoverishment and to reduce its impact.
Myer Family Philanthropy supports projects that benefit the Australian community, and strategies that address: Symptoms: Alleviate the negative effects of poverty and disadvantage; New Initiatives: Pilot new ideas about how to address poverty and disadvantage; and Capacity Building: Strengthen communities' abilities to deal with poverty and disadvantage.
The current priority areas for the Poverty and Disadvantage Small Grants Program are as follows:
Communities experiencing social and economic exclusion with particular emphasis on Indigenous Australians, asylum seekers and refugees, and people living in isolated rural and remote areas of Australia,
Children and young people from impoverished backgrounds whose opportunities for development and advancement are curtailed, and
Small, discreet projects that meet the needs of a community rather than supplementary funding for large projects. A small, discreet project will be considered to have a total budget of up to $50,000.
For over a century, National Geographic has supported the efforts of enterprising grantees and groundbreaking explorers. From the excavation of Machu Picchu and the discovery of the Titanic to the endowment of the next generation of explorers, National Geographics programs support critical scientific research, geographic exploration, and environmental and cultural conservation worldwide.
The National Geographic Society has a wide range of funding opportunities available, and new and exciting projects are offered each year. Please visit the NGS website for further information.
The National Geographic Society awards grants for scientific field research and exploration through its Committee for Research and Exploration. All proposed projects must have both a geographical dimension and relevance to other scientific fields and be of broad scientific interest. Applications are generally limited to the following disciplines: anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, biology, botany, geography, geology, oceanography, paleontology, and zoology. In addition the committee is emphasizing multidisciplinary projects that address environmental issues (e.g. loss of biodiversity and habitat, effects of human–population pressures).
Applicants are expected to have advanced degrees (Ph.D. or equivalent) and be associated with an educational organization or institution.
Grant amounts vary greatly, most range from U.S. $15,000 to $20,000. Committee grants tend to act as seed money and are given for one year's research.
This program helps qualified and experienced individuals launch the most difficult stage of a project for which to secure funding – the search. Grants are made for exploratory fieldwork that holds promise for new breakthroughs in the natural and social sciences.
Funding is not restricted to United States citizens. Applicants planning work in foreign countries should include at least one local collaborator as part of their research teams. The selection committee will not consider applications seeking support solely for laboratory work or archival research. While grants are awarded on the basis of scientific merit and exist independent of the National Geographic Society's other divisions, grant recipients are expected to provide National Geographic with rights of first refusal for popular publication of their findings.
National Geographic Society/Waitt grants are awarded on a rolling basis and range from U.S. $5,000–$15,000. There is no set quantity of grants awarded, but budget constraints keep the number to approximately a hundred per year.
Enhancing our efforts to foster the next generation of researchers, explorers, and conservationists, National Geographic now provides seed grants to individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 in the fields we have a rich history of supporting. Young Explorers grants provide the opportunity for many recipients to pursue their first experiences in the field.
Applicants are not required to have advanced degrees. However, a record of prior experience in the fields of research, conservation, or exploration should be submitted as it pertains to the proposed project.
Young Explorers Grants vary in amount depending on significance of the project, though most range between US $2,000 and $5,000. National Geographic Society funds often serve as complementary support – thus the program encourages applicants to seek additional, concurrent funding from other sources.
The National Institute of Health (NIH), administered by a US government Department, offers a vast range of funding oppurtunities for research on an international scale.
Closing dates for funding opportunities vary throughout the year. Please see individual opportunities for details.

Bellagio Study and Conference Center – Conferences at the Bellagio Center
The sponsor provides space for framing debates on world–class issues, for translating theory into action and for devising creative responses to some of the most pressing issues of our time, especially those directed at alleviating poverty and vulnerability. The sponsor seeks applications from groups who are addressing significant issues and who expect the conference to generate innovative yet concrete outcomes.
Conferences must align with the sponsor's mission to expand opportunities for poor or vulnerable people and to help ensure that globalization's benefits are shared more widely. Most conferences are one–time events, but applications for a series of meetings are considered. However, the sponsor does not guarantee space for the full series of meetings. Each meeting in the series will be evaluated separately, with assessments of previous meetings a key factor in the decision to host subsequent meetings. Decisions are based upon: alignment with the sponsor's mission; the timeliness of the convening; the conference design, preferably focused on outcomes; the questions posed and the approach used to address them; the potential impact; the mix of participants and perspectives; the qualifications of the conference organizer(s); and the suitability and value of the Center for the proposed convening.
Bellagio meetings typically include three full working days, with an additional day at the beginning and end for arrivals and departures, for a total of five days. Two–day meetings (total of four days reserved) are also possible. Most conferences are one–time events, but applications for a series of meetings are considered.

Initiative on Civic Learning and Civic Action Major Grant Proposals
This grants program is offered to support research about how and why individuals and groups become committed to civic action. The sponsor is prepared to invest in research and other activities in this initiative for a significant period of time, if interim assessments of progress are promising. It anticipates typical research grants will range from less than $40,000 to $350,000, extending over periods of one to four years or more.
The sponsor aims to address challenges that it believe are at the core of understanding civic learning and action. These questions, while framed broadly enough to encompass a range of approaches and research questions, ultimately come down to understanding action and the factors that promote or encourage it, as well as those that constrain or discourage it. The sponsor's long–term goal is to support the accumulation of knowledge that will lead to concrete policies and practices that will support civic learning and action. Working toward these goals, the sponsor aims to advance research that identifies powerful motivations and psychological processes; aspects of enabling learning experiences and environments, and societal or group norms, political processes or events, historical and cultural trends, and other contextual influences on individual and group action.

The Relation between Education and Social Opportunity;
Organizational Learning in Schools, School Systems, and Higher Education Institutions;
Teaching, Learning, and Instructional Resources; and,
Purposes and Values of Education. In addition to proposals in these defined areas, the foundation will continue to provide an opportunity to submit field–initiated proposals outside these areas.
Applications consist of an initial proposal that contain a proposal cover sheet, proposal narrative and proposal budget. For proposals up to $40,000, a funding decision will be made on the basis of the initial proposal. For proposals over $40,000, the initial proposal will be used to decide whether to invite an expanded proposal. Initial proposals are accepted at any time, regardless of the level of funding requested. For proposals over $40,000, if you are invited to submit an expanded proposal, the deadlines normally fall at the beginning of April, July, and December each year, with notification taking place within eight months.

The Crawford Fund's purpose is to encourage investment in international agricultural research (IAR) by governments and the private sector, in the belief that it is an essential, high priority, international activity. We believe that IAR holds the key to alleviating rural poverty in developing countries, and can thus open the door to economic progress. Good news is worth sharing, and the Fund's Public Awareness Campaign increases understanding of the importance and potential of IAR, its achievements and needs. The Fund achieves its objectives through training programs that fill a niche by offering practical, highly focused non–degree instruction to men and women engaged in agricultural research and management in developing countries.
A standard set of application forms and nomination forms has been prepared. Proposals may be submitted to State Program Coordinators at any time, and are considered by the relevant Program Coordinator or Committee. We distinguish between Awardees (people – usually individuals – who undertake customised training in Australia for periods of up to 3 months) and participants in Master Classes which may involve up to 20 or more people. Application forms are currently only available on request through the State Coordinator or Central Office in Canberra. You can find out whether a training activity is relevant to the Crawford Fund by contacting the Victorian State Coordinator, who can also provide the appropriate application Form. Applications are normally considered at the Victorian Program Committee meetings which take place quarterly.
