cell types is encouraged. Examples of research areas appropriate to this
announcement include, but are not limited to - projects to expand the number of
nonhuman animal model systems in which embryonic stem cells are available; -
projects to identify, isolate, culture, and characterize multipotent stem cell
populations derived from nonhuman embryonic stem cells; - projects to identify,
isolate, culture, and characterize multipotent stem cells from post-fetal tissue
types; - projects to generate
and use panels of markers for stem cell attributes common across
species for use in characterization and isolation of stem cells in a
range of animal species ortissues; and - projects to create universal methods of
culture to maintain the undifferentiated state of embryonic or other
characterized, multipotential stem cells across nonhuman animal species. URL:

Environment Grants Sponsor:
Philip Morris Companies, Inc. Deadline:
September 30, 2001 Abstract:
The role Philip Morris Companies, Inc. has taken in the area of environmental
grant making is underscored by its direct connection to agriculture. All Philip
Morris products are agriculturally based, making Philip Morris one of the
largest users of agricultural products in the United States. The themes of the
Environment program address the manner in which the company utilizes its lands
and natural resources and the priority it places on their well being for future
generations. The guidelines are focused primarily on two key areas: 1. The
restoration, preservation, and conservation of local watersheds and waterways,
particularly groundwater, surface water, and drinking water. 2. The preservation
of farmlands and agricultural resources and the development of environmentally
sound farming practices. A smaller number of grants are made in the areas of
municipal solid waste management for such efforts as recycling programs,
composting initiatives, and other waste treatment options; and environment and
education to develop future environmental leaders. Within these focuses, special
attention is given to community programs that demonstrate successful restoration
techniques or foster partnerships, educate citizens, and provide sound
information on resource management. We look for fresh approaches to existing
problems - approaches that may serve as models and contribute to society’s
understanding of environmental issues. URL:
