Fluid Dynamics – Feb 20, 2014

By Uncategorized

Funding Opportunity Number: PD-14-1443
Opportunity Category: Discretionary
Funding Instrument Type: Grant
Category of Funding Activity: Science and Technology and other Research and Development
CFDA Number: 47.041
Eligible Applicants Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility”
Agency Name: NSF
Closing Date: Feb 20, 2014
Award Ceiling:
Expected Number of Awards: 86
Creation Date: Apr 05, 2013
Funding Opportunity Description: The Fluid Dynamics program supports fundamental research and education on mechanisms and phenomena governing fluid flow. Proposed research should contribute to basic understanding; thus enabling the better design; predictability; efficiency; and control of systems that involve fluids. Encouraged are proposals that address innovative uses of fluids in materials development; manufacturing; biotechnology; nanotechnology; clinical diagnostics and drug delivery; sensor development and integration; energy and the environment. While the research should focus on fundamentals, a clear connection to potential application should be outlined.Current research themes include:General Fluid Mechanics: experimental and theoretical dynamics of Newtonian fluids; laminar flows, transitional flows, and turbulence; hydrodynamic stability; flow of compressible fluids.Flow of Complex Fluids: non-Newtonian fluid mechanics; viscoelasticity; flow of polymer solutions and melts; gelation; flow instability; flow-induced structuring; DNA dynamics; molecular dynamics simulations. Micro- Nano- Bio- Fluid Mechanics: micro-and nano-scale flow phenomena; biomedical microdevices; effects of nanoscale inclusions on rheological properties; flow of Brownian suspensions; biomimetics; biological flow processes. Turbulence and Flow Control: large eddy simulation; direct numerical simulation; high Reynolds number experiments; stability and transition to turbulence; 3-D boundary layers; multi-phase turbulent flows; flow control; insect flight; gas-liquid interfaces.Instrumentation and Flow Diagnostics: Instrument development; MEMS; shear stress sensors; Magnetic Resonance Imaging for engineering flow; velocimetry; flows in biomedical assistive devices.The duration of unsolicited awards is generally one to three years. The average annual award size for the program is $90,000. Proposals requesting a substantially higher amount than this, without prior consultation with the Program Director, may be returned without review. Small equipment proposals of less than $100,000 will also be considered and may be submitted during the annual proposal submission window. Innovative proposals outside of these specific interest areas can be considered. However, prior to submission, it is recommended that the PI contact the Program Director to avoid the possibility of the proposal being returned without review.Additional Program Information – 1443: (e.g., Areas of Research, Research Highlights, Conferences and Workshops, Program Director Information, etc.) —————————————————————————————————INFORMATION COMMON TO MOST CBET PROGRAMSProposals should address the novelty and/or potentially transformative nature http://www.nsf.gov/about/transformative_research/faq.jsp of the concept being proposed, compared to previous work in the field. Also, it is important to address why the proposed work is important in terms of engineering science, as well as to also project the potential impact on society and /or industry of success in the research. The novelty or potentially transformative nature of the research should be included, as a minimum, in the Project Summary of each proposal. Proposals submitted to this program are subject to the scope of the program’s description and the availability of funds. Decisions about particular proposals are often very difficult to make and factors other than reviewer comments and ratings enter into the decision. Comments by a reviewer must sometimes be considered in the context of other reviews by the same person. The Program Director often has additional information not available to reviewers (such as project reports). Maintaining appropriate balance among subfields, the availability of other funding, the total amount of funds available to the program, and general Foundation policies and priorities are also important decision factors. Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program proposals are strongly encouraged. Award duration is five years. The submission deadline for Engineering CAREER proposals is in July every year. Please see the following URL for more information: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214Proposals for Conferences, Workshops, and Supplements: Proposals involving these activities should ideally be submitted during the regular annual proposal window. PIs are strongly encouraged to discuss their requests with the Program Director before submission of the proposal.Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) are also considered when appropriate. Please note that proposals of these types must be discussed with the Program Director before submission. Further details are available in the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) download. Unsolicited proposals received outside of the Announced Proposal Window dates will be returned without review..

Award Ceiling:
Expected Number of Awards:
Creation Date: Apr 04, 2013
Funding Opportunity Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages preclinical and clinical research that will describe the effect of microbially generated metabolites in cancer prevention/ progression and the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects: proliferative/apoptotic responses, cytokine production, inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects locally and/or distant. This FOA encourages pre-clinical and clinical studies that will describe the variability in the bacterial metabolites production and their contribution to cancer prevention/promotion among various racial and ethnic groups. Due to inconsistent responses to dietary interventions, this research is necessary to identify who might benefit from specific dietary recommend ations and who might be placed at risk. It is important to identify the factors that contribute to differences in response to foods and food components and to identify early markers that will identify those who will receive maximum benefits from dietary change. As these are complex questions this program will facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations among scientists engaged in research in cancer prevention and microbiology, nutrition, cancer cell biology, and cancer disparities. To achieve this goal all applications are encouraged to include multiple Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s) with expertise in cancer biology, microbiology, nutrition, analytical chemistry or genetics. Investigations may use either clinical or preclinical approaches. All awardees are expected to attend an annual meeting with NIH personnel to report new findings and coordinate the exchange of new information and methodologies with interested colleagues and to promote collaboration.
