This initiative enables scientists to advance not only their research, but also their careers. Pathway scientists have access to the Mentor Advisory Group, an annual Pathway symposia, select speaking opportunities, and innovative technologies, all designed to foster interactions and collaboration that will enable them to accelerate their research progress. This is a limited solicitation opportunity. Please coordinate with the UA Office of Research Discovery to submit.

With the goal of promoting dialogue, raising awareness, and developing new and broader audiences, the foundation is inviting applications from nonprofit organizations working to provide programs about architecture and the designed environment. Grants are intended to support nonprofits willing to take risks in programming and create opportunities for experimentation, as well as to help them recognize the role they play in providing individuals with a public forum in which to present their work. Projects will be judged on their originality, potential for impact, and feasibility. The foundation is most interested in opportunities that enable it to provide critical support at key points in the development of a project.

Deadline: February 29, 2016
The Library Leadership and Management Association, a division of the American Library Association, in partnership with the H.W. Wilson Foundation and EBSCO Information Services, is accepting submissions for the John Cotton Dana Award, an annual program that honors outstanding library public relations initiatives. The award is named for John Cotton Dana, a librarian who is considered to be the father of the modern library. Established in 1946, the award program honors strategic communications campaigns from all sizes and types of libraries, including rebranding efforts, awareness campaigns, and community partnerships. Libraries are encouraged to submit samples of their processes, research, media releases, media coverage, and other results received, as well as evaluation of the results demonstrating the scope and effectiveness of the campaign. Eight $10,000 awards are granted each year. Entries may be submitted by any library, library friends group, consulting agency, or service provider, excluding libraries represented by prize committee members.

National Book Foundation- Innovations in Reading Prize<http://uafoundation.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d7da969976ad1054115e901b0&id=1945c56e5a&e=ba094b3a1c>
Deadline: February 29, 2016
Through the Innovations in Reading Prize, individuals and institutions that use particularly innovative methods to generate excitement and a passionate engagement with books and literature will be rewarded for their creativity and leadership. The foundation is seeking applications from individuals and institutions that demonstrate a commitment to literature and the promotion of reading for its own sake. Key criteria include creativity, risk-taking, and a visionary quality, as well as a novel way of presenting books and literature. Priority will be given to applications from individuals and institutions that have developed an interdisciplinary approach and/or incorporate innovative thinking in design, technology, social change, social entrepreneurship, or other fields. Candidates may enter themselves for consideration or be nominated by others. The winner will receive $10,000 and be featured prominently on the foundation's website and in other digital publicity.

William T. Grant Foundation- Research to Understand Inequality<http://uafoundation.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d7da969976ad1054115e901b0&id=6cb0cc173c&e=ba094b3a1c>
Deadline: May 5, 2016
The foundation is accepting applications for research projects that increase our understanding of programs, policies, and practices that reduce inequality in youth outcomes. Critical gaps exist between research, decision making, and youth outcomes. That is why the foundation is also seeking applications that increase our understanding of the strategies that improve the use of research evidence in ways that benefit youth. The foundation seeks research that builds stronger theory and empirical evidence in these two areas. They intend for the research they support to inform change and while they do not expect that any one study will create that change, the research should contribute to a body of useful knowledge to improve the lives of young people. Research grants about reducing inequality typically range between $100,000 and $600,000 and cover two to three years of support. Research grants about improving the use of research initiative will range between $100,000 and $1,000,000 and cover two to four years of support.
