November 10, 2010 National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) NASA's
Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate has amended its announcement,
"Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2010," to solicit additional
proposals. With the amendment, the Hypersonics Project of the Fundamental
Aeronautics Program calls for proposals about enabling technologies and
development of a new pool of expertise in two primary areas of interest.
These include air-breathing access to space and entry, descent and landing
of high-mass vehicles in planetary atmospheres. Visit http://nspires.nasaprs.com The
European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA are offering an opportunity to
participate in the Mars 2016 Entry-Descent-Landing (EDL) Demonstrator Module
(EDM) science. ESA will be issuing an Announcement of Opportunity (AO)
for possible science instrumentation to be included on the lander and
associated science investigations. NASA will consider supporting
participation of U.S. investigators as individual Co-Investigators on EDL
surface payload proposals that are submitted from ESA participating states.
Further details or questions concerning this opportunity should be addressed
to: Dr Philippe Crane, NASA ExoMars 2016 Program Scientist, philippe.crane@nasa.gov

Center for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety invites R18 applications to
support Advances in Patient Safety through Simulation Research. As a
training technique, simulation in health care uses a variety of approaches -
mannequins, task trainers, virtual reality, in situ scenarios, hybrid
configurations, standardized patients - to expose individuals and teams to
realistic clinical challenges. A distinguishing feature of simulation is that
it allows participants to experience the consequences of their decisions and
actions as they learn new skills and address system anomalies in an
environment that does not put patients at risk. Simulation also can be used
as a testbed to identify failure modes and other areas of concern in new
clinical processes, procedures and technologies that might threaten patient
safety. Multiple awards are anticipated. Eligibility is restricted to U.S.
states, local governments, institutions of higher education and nonprofit
organizations. Standard due dates apply for R18 grant applications. More

co-morbidities and how they are related to drug addiction are especially
encouraged. Also encouraged are genetic, as well as computational and
large-scale genomic approaches, which may include but are not limited to
linkage, linkage disequilibrium, case-control or family-based studies and
integration of data from other databases that may supplement substance abuse
genetics and genomics data. Research topics include, but are not limited to,
those described in the announcement. Multiple awards are anticipated.
