To encourage a commitment to breast cancer research, Breast Cancer Alliance invites clinical doctors and research scientists whose primary focus is breast cancer and who are in the early stages of their careers, to apply for funding for the Young Investigator Grant. This grant is open to applicants at institutions throughout the contiguous United States. This is a two-year grant for a total of $125,000, with half the grant award being paid out each year.

Applicants for 2020 grants must (i) have held a faculty position for no more than four years following the completion of their training, as of February 1, 2020; (ii) have not been a principal investigator on an NIH R01 or equivalent national/international non-mentored award; and (iii) dedicate at least 50% of their work effort to research. This grant is intended to help advance the careers of young researchers who do not yet have their own major grant support. For clarity, current postdoctoral fellows who do not yet hold a faculty position are eligible to apply, provided they meet all the other stated criteria for Young Investigators.

The following survey is being sent to gauge interest among faculty in participating in a Communicating Science Workshop that is sponsored and conducted by facilitators from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The half day workshop, which enhances public education and outreach skills, was launched at the 2008 AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston and has since provided more than 220 workshops for over 7,000 attendees at universities, science society meetings, and government agency labs in the US and abroad. We are excited about bringing the Workshop to Auburn University for faculty in all disciplines and hope you find the time to complete a short survey to help us in our planning. It is appreciated if the survey can be completed by March 18th.

Please contact Bob Holm at x4-5877 or rzh0021@auburn.edu with any questions or comments.



FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Digital Projects for the Public grants support projects that cogently interpret and analyze humanities content in formats that will attract broad public audiences. Digital platforms- such as websites, mobile applications and tours, interactive touch screens and kiosks, games, and virtual environments- can reach diverse audiences and bring the humanities to life for the American people. The program offers three levels of support for digital projects: grants for Discovery projects (early-stage planning work), Prototyping projects (proof-of-concept development work), and Production projects (end-stage production and distribution work). While projects can take many forms, shapes, and sizes, your request should be for an exclusively digital project or for a digital component of a larger project. 

All Digital Projects for the Public projects should 
- present analysis that deepens public understanding of significant humanities stories and ideas; 
- incorporate sound humanities scholarship; 
- involve humanities scholars in all phases of development and production; 
- include appropriate digital media professionals; 
- reach a broad public through a realistic plan for development, marketing, and distribution; 
- create appealing digital formats for the general public; and 
- demonstrate the capacity to sustain themselves.
