Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Analysis
http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do?oppId=12505&mode=VIEW
The Department of Energy requests proposals for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Analysis: Lessons Learned from Stationary Power Generation. In the future, hydrogen-based stationary systems can help supply some of the stationary power demand with the additional advantages of higher reliability, lower emissions, independence from the general grid and cogeneration capability. In order to understand how to prepare the future for this technology, DOE is seeking to learn from the challenges of previous stationary power programs and use the lessons learned to develop a strategy that systematically incorporates both the stationary and the transportation sectors and defines the various trade-offs, synergies and opportunities. The objective of this project is to identify the lessons learned from prior stationary power programs, including the most significant obstacles, how these obstacles have been approached, outcomes of the programs, and how this information can be used in the DOE’s Hydrogen Program.

Environmental Impacts of Hydrogen Systems
http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do?oppId=12506&mode=VIEW
The Department of Energy solicits proposals for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Analysis: Environmental Impacts of Hydrogen Systems. The development of hydrogen as an energy carrier offers the benefits of increased energy security and reduced environmental emissions compared with the present fossil fuel economy. However, there is not enough information on the potential environmental effects from increased emissions of hydrogen. Further, there is little known about the amount of criteria emissions avoided or gained through the production and use of hydrogen and the impact on the environment. The purpose of this project is to systematically identify and examine possible near and long-term ecological and environmental effects of the production of hydrogen from various energy sources (based on the DOE hydrogen production strategy) and the use of that hydrogen as a transportation fuel and for stationary power. Precise systems-based engineering models of the likely hydrogen and criteria pollutant emissions will be developed and the potential impacts of the different market penetration scenarios will be quantified.

Bridges to the Future Program
http://www.nigms.nih.gov/minority/bridges.html
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences again invites proposals for the Bridges to the Future Program, incorporating Bridges to the Baccalaureate (PAR-07-039) and Bridges to the Doctorate (PAR-07-040). Both "Bridges" are designed to facilitate specific transitions for students from underrepresented minority groups and/or health disparities populations: first, the transition from associate- to baccalaureate-degree granting programs; second, the transition from master's to doctoral degree-granting institutions. In Bridges to the Baccalaureate, one partner must be an institution that offers the associate degree as the only undergraduate degree in the sciences within the participating departments, while another partner must be a college or university offering the baccalaureate degree in areas relevant to the biomedical sciences. In Bridges to the Doctorate, a partnership must be between one or more terminal Master's degree-granting institutions with significant numbers of students from underrepresented groups and /or health disparities populations and a doctoral degree-granting institution with programs in the sciences related to the biomedical and behavioral sciences.

Engineering Education Program
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13374
The goal of the Engineering Education Program of the Division of Engineering Education and Centers is to increase the quantity and quality of U.S. citizens who earn Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees in engineering. The attractiveness of engineering study has not kept pace with the importance of engineering in driving our nation's prosperity. The continuation of the technology explosion of the second half of the twentieth century requires the availability of a diverse and highly capable technical workforce. Experience to date has shown that students can be attracted to and retained in engineering programs if they are exposed early to the joys of creation through design, discovery through research, and invention through hands-on experimentation. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has not offered such a wide-open competition for a long time and does so now to encourage the most creative suggestions.
