Research Funding Opportunity – The Center on Global Change
The Center on Global Change (http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/cgc/) is soliciting proposals from Duke faculty to establish innovative collaborations in all aspects of global change science, policy, and education. Proposals can include working groups, workshops, symposiums, or other activities. Priority will be given to activities with a clear description of scientific advancement and plans for submission of large-scale proposals to agencies or foundations.

Deadline: Proposals are due April 15, 2009, with projects to begin during the FY09/10 fiscal year. Please send electronic versions (pdf format preferred) to Karen Johnson at: koj2@duke.edu by April 15.

Research Funding Opportunity – Institute of Homeland Security Solutions
The Institute of Homeland Security Solutions invites faculty to submit research proposals for social science projects addressing current homeland security challenges.
IHSS is a research consortium that includes RTI International, Duke University and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
IHSS conducts applied research in the social and behavioral sciences to address a wide range of homeland security challenges, including critical policy and operational implications of new technologies and information analysis tools. IHSS also conducts research to improve our understanding and analysis of homeland security threats. For more information on IHSS, see https://www.ihssnc.org/AboutIHSS/tabid/54/Default.aspx

We are currently accepting proposals for research projects. Proposals are considered in three stages: Abstract, Research Brief, and Full Proposal. To submit an abstract, you must register on the IHSS website: https://www.ihssnc.org/

Instructions for submitting an abstract are available at: https://www.ihssnc.org/Researchnbspnbspnbsp/InstructionsnbspfornbspResearchers/tabid/74/Default.aspx

Research Briefs are 3-5 pages synopses of the state of the research in the area of the proposed project, similar to a literature review for a typical grant. If your proposal is accepted, you will receive funding to write the Research Brief, which will be published as an IHSS product.

Faculty that complete a Research Brief will be invited to submit a full project proposal. It is anticipated that the funding for full projects will be approximately $250,000.
