Sponsor:
United States Department of Defense (DOD) Deadline: Continuous Abstract: For topic 6.1.2, Soil and Granular Materials, Descriptions of granular materials include static and dynamic discrete models, including discrete element models, and continuum models, which depend on the size and shape of the grains. There are multiscale problems in abundance in this area. Modeling heterogeneity is important, since locally large fluctuations in force can strongly affect the dynamics of granular materials in distant regions. Large-deformation models of clay soils and other soils for a full range of environmental conditions need to be developed.

Sponsor:
Earthwatch Institute Deadline: Continuous Abstract: The Center for Field Research (CFR) invites proposals for field research on world hunger and food security issues. Proposals for multi-disciplinary field research involving transnational collaboration are particularly welcome.

Sponsor:
Sloan Foundation, Alfred P. Deadline: Continuous Abstract: The goal of this program is to increase the number of underrepresented minority students (African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans) receiving Ph.D.s in mathematics, natural science, and engineering. The program focuses primarily on students who are enrolled in Ph.D. programs. However, a small part of the program includes undergraduate or masters-level "feeder" programs. URL: http://www.sloan.org/programs/edu_phd.shtml ***** Title: Checkoff Research Program Sponsor: United Soybean Board (USB) Deadline: Varies. The board issues calls for proposals through its own electronic proposal submission and database systems. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the board's website. Abstract: All accepted marketing projects must be designed to increase or defend soybean markets. Some accomplish this through seeking untapped international or domestic marketing opportunities. Other projects develop new uses for soybeans or new methods to lower production costs. All USB projects, however, have one common goal: to help U.S. soybean farmers become more profitable.
