<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Higher education reform efforts are often impeded by a number of factors, including: a lack of funding, ineffective education policies, poor
planning and management, reliance on traditional curricula that emphasize passive rather than active learning, and limited flexibility in career choices. The goal of the Academic Capacity Development Program (ACDP) is to help breakdown these obstacles by focusing
on both educational institutions and individual scholars and helping to build local, regional, and global academic networks. The Academic Consultants Program selects highly qualified scholars in the social sciences to assist selected partner departments where

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Deadline: June 30, 2015<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Studies show that kids who play a stringed instrument score higher on standardized tests, enjoy more parental involvement at school, and develop
better self-discipline. Despite this, school music programs, especially strings programs, remain vulnerable to budget cuts. The<a href="http://www.classicsforkids.org/" target="_self"><span style="color:windowtext"> Classics for Kids Foundation</span></a>
aims to bridge the funding gap and enhance school music programs by providing matching grants for beautiful new stringed instruments. Through the Classics for Kids matching grant program, CFKF provides grants for the purchase of high-quality instruments because
they're easier to tune and play; contribute to a better and more effective classroom; are tonally superior; have better durability and longevity; and inspire kids to practice and stay involved with their program. The program is open to K-12 schools or nonprofit
organizations that believe in the role of fine instruments in their programs and can show evidence of need and commitment to raising matching funds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Childhood Obesity</span></a>, a national program of the<a href="http://www.rwjf.org/" target="_self"><span style="color:windowtext"> Robert Wood Johnson Foundation</span></a>, supports research on environmental and policy strategies with strong potential to
promote healthy eating and prevent childhood obesity, especially among groups at highest risk for obesity, including black, Latino, American Indian, Asian/Pacific Islander children, and children who live in lower-income communities (urban, suburban, and/or
rural). Findings are expected to advance RWJF’s efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic, eliminate health disparities, and help all children achieve a healthy weight. The program has issued a Request for Proposals for two types of awards aimed at
providing advocates, decision makers, and policy makers with the evidence needed to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic. The award types are Round Nine grants and RWJF New Connections grants. 1) Round Nine Grants: Approximately $2.55 million will be awarded
through this funding round. Each grant will provide up to $190,000 over a maximum funding period of eighteen months. 2) RWJF New Connections Grants: Up to two RWJF New Connections grants will be awarded through the Healthy Eating Research program in this round
of funding. Awards will be for twelve to eighteen months. Preference will be given to public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are not private foundations or Type III supporting
organizations. In addition, applicant organizations must be based in the United States or one of its territories. Amount: Up to $100,000<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and and serves patients and families throughout the phases of bone marrow failure diseases, including the life-changing phase of diagnosis, the life-threatening phase of treatment, and the life-long phase of living with a chronic disease. To that end, AA&MDSIF
supports researchers dedicated to the study of bone marrow failure who are working to advance the understanding and treatment of aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). With funding provided by the Patricia
and Vincent Geczik Legacy Gift to Fund PNH Research, AA&MDSIF has issued a Request for Proposals for research projects that pertain to nine specific topics: 1) anti-complement therapies and/or immune regulation, including increased understanding of C3 inhibitors;
2) the role of bone marrow failure in the selection of PNH clones of hematopoietic stem cells; 3) the cause of the expansion of the PNH clone to clinically significant levels; 4) the genetic components of PNH; 5) increased understanding of thrombosis within
PNH, including mechanisms, detection and diagnosis, and treatment; 6) health outcomes from extended use of eculizimab; 7) reasons for continued clinical manifestations despite or because of the response to eculizimab; 8) advances in drug delivery mechanisms;
and 9) more effective dosing levels and combination therapies. Currently, AA&MDSIF anticipates awarding one grant per year. In 2015, projects may be funded up to $100,000 for one year, or $250,000 over two years. To be eligible, an applicant must hold a doctor
of medicine, doctor of philosophy, doctor of science, or other doctoral level degree (e.g., Pharm.D.). There are no nationality restrictions. Research may be carried out in the United States or abroad but not at a for-profit laboratory. The project must

academic midcareer scholars for the second round of its Midcareer Grant Program. The program provides support for scholars interested in advancing their understanding of a compelling problem of education by acquiring new skills, substantive knowledge, theoretical
perspectives, or methodological tools. It is not intended to encourage researchers to abandon their existing area of expertise, but rather to build on, enrich, and extend that training with the acquisition of new methodological tools and/or perspectives about
a subject to which they have been deeply committed throughout their academic career. This program is intended to provide support for a year-long program of study during which time the recipient will be released from teaching and from committee service and

core interests and past scholarship. Applicants will also be asked to map the “outer edges” of what they have come to know through their earlier research and then articulate how they will move into what they do not yet know but hope to learn through a targeted
midcareer program of study. In addition, applicants will be asked to fully describe how the acquisition of new tools or perspectives enriches their understanding of that problem and to present a well-thought out plan for acquiring them. Grant awards will
not be confined to proposals to learn a new discipline, although in a number of cases that would fit. A psychologist studying techniques for promoting positive character development in children might spend a year studying philosophical work bearing on character
development and the proper role of families and schools in shaping children’s character. A historian of American education might spend a year studying some aspect of the history of education in Brazil or France. A scholar who works on the teaching of writing
in colleges might have reason to acquire a deeper understanding of early literacy. Up to five midcareer will be awarded during the 2016-2017 academic years. To be eligible, applicants must be faculty members or research scholars who were awarded doctorates
within the last seven to twenty years. An informational call will be held on June 3, 2015, at 3:30 P.M. (Central Time). Participation in this call is not required in order to submit a proposal; it is optional for those who have questions not addressed in the
