The Department has announced a New Science and Technology Program to provide grants for collaborative projects between US and Spanish researchers. Such proposals should be intellectual and cultural, not technical or aimed at vocational training. Applicants should check with the host country USIS prior to proposal submission. Deadline - October 10, 1997. Priorities include studies concerning capture techniques, winter ecology, migration, and subadults.
Awards are generally for one summer or for one year's work, with renewal possible.
The program is designed to promote basic, energy-relevant research between academic researchers, their students, and industrial researchers. Research undertaken should fall within the activities currently supported by BES, the Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The NURC for the North Atlantic and Great Lakes, located at the University of Connecticut, is requesting proposals that address two high priority topics. For the North Atlantic , proposals should address the definition of, and fishing gear impacts to, essential fish habitats. The MPS Division of Chemistry will use three target dates for FY 1998 which begins October 1, 1997.
