Description:	EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe U.S. Embassy in Doha Public Affairs Section (PAS) is pleased to announce an open competition for one cooperative agreement through this Notice of Funding (NOFO). This is an opportunity to conduct a comprehensive audience analysis study on Qataris in Qatar. This NOFO outlines PAS’s funding priorities, strategic focus, and the procedures for submitting requests for funding. Please carefully follow all instructions below. Pending the availability of funds, it is U.S. Embassy Doha’s intent to award one cooperative agreement for the winning proposal for an estimated total amount of $250,000 over the course of one year or less, depending upon the successful completion of goals.PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONThe Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in Qatar invites proposals for a comprehensive audience analysis study of Qataris in all of Qatar, inside and outside the capital. The study should encompass a good cross-section of Qatari society from different age groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, locations of residence, religions, culturally immersive backgrounds and tolerance levels, travel backgrounds, educational backgrounds, genders, ethnic backgrounds, tribal affiliations, professions, etc. Analysis at a minimum should be descriptive with additional inferential analysis based on causation/correlation of attitudes and behaviors preferred.The grant will help strengthen ties between the U.S. and Qatar through public diplomacy programming by funding an audience analysis study that will paint an accurate and representative picture of Qatari society and its attitudes and behaviors. This data will be crucial for PAS in its mandate to engage and understand Qatari audiences, to help in crafting its messaging and policies accordingly, knowing where to locate and how to reach and contact Qatari core audiences. Specifically, this data will help inform PAS of the attitudes and behaviors of Qataris on social, political, cultural, religious, familial, educational, and economic issues, among others, as well as toward the United States, Americans, the War on Terror, ISIS, the GCC, Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Syria, Yemen, Russia, Iran, China, the U.S. military, its operations, the U.S. government, its policies, and study in the United States, etc. Any study should, at a minimum, break down audiences’ behaviors and attitudes by age, gender, location of residence (Doha and the rest of the country), socioeconomic background, education, cultural immersion, religions, genders, ethnic backgrounds, tribal affiliations, professions, etc.Furthermore, PAS is interested in learning how and where Qataris gather their news, how they communicate with one another, where they convene, what voices they consider to be credible, and what news is of interest to them, e.g. Additional inferential analysis based on what might cause a behavior or attitude change is highly preferred.Understanding how or whether audience perceptions changed after the Gulf conflict would also be informative.Finally, a thorough understanding of why Qatari student enrollment at U.S. institutions of higher learning in the United States dropped by 26% between academic years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 is crucial in any study.Applicants are asked to submit a detailed proposal, outlining how they seek to accomplish these objectives, through what method, and what measures they will take as a contingency to deal with mitigating circumstances and anticipated challenges.Methodology:PAS welcomes detailed proposals, outlining their course of action for meeting objectives, and detailing the best methodology for conducting audience analysis polling and research in Qatar. Proposals should include a discussion on mitigating factors and anticipated challenges and proposed solutions. Good proposals will conceptually and empirically identify the most appropriate method of conducting audience analysis and ensure accurate representation in polling from a good cross-section of Qatari society, detailing audience target numbers, demographics, gender, location, profession, etc.Authorizing legislation, type, and year of funding:Funding authority rests in the Smith-Mundt. The source of funding is FY2020 Public Diplomacy Funding.Participants and Audiences: Proposals should describe both primary and secondary (if applicable) audiences for the program, including numbers anticipated to be reached. Primary audiences are those who will participate directly in the program, while secondary audiences are those who will be reached by the project’s primary audiences, because of their participation.Applicants should have considerable, practical, and relevant experience in polling, statistics, and data analysis, to be seriously considered for this project. Previous experience dealing with Qatari audiences is preferred.Any proposal should include a minimum sample size of 2,500 Qataris to ensure an accurate and representative depiction of Qataris from all walks and strata of life, inside and outside the capital. A bigger sample size is preferred. The study will analyze the following information gathered about Qataris, including but not limited to:Socio-demographic characteristics such as gender, age, language, tribal affinity, ethnic origin, national identity, and religion.Socioeconomic backgrounds and professionsEducationCultural immersionGeographic characteristics, including where the audiences live and how that might impact attitudes and behaviors.Audience thoughts, beliefs, knowledge, and behaviors related to the United States, Americans, the U.S. government, the U.S. military, U.S. military actions, study in the U.S., and U.S. policies.Audience thoughts, beliefs, knowledge, and behaviors related to the War on Terror, ISIS, the GCC, Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Syria, Yemen, Russia, Iran, China, minority, religious, and human rights, etc.Barriers that prevent or facilitators that encourage audience members to adopt the desired behavior change.Effective communication channels or platforms for reaching the audience.Digital media and traditional media usage for each age group and demographic to tailor our messaging and reach accordingly.Audiences who are considered a priority for this program include:Qatari youth/students, especially in areas inside and outside of Doha, including traditionally under-served communitiesQatari minority groupsQatari parents and grandparentsQatari women and girlsQatari local decision-makers and established opinion leadersMedia outlets and expertsQatari teachers and academic professionalsEmerging Qatari voices; andQataris in the creative and performing arts communitiesPlease note that proposals addressing audiences not listed above are still eligible, but such proposals must clearly indicate why addressing the proposed audience is especially important to achieving the goals stated in Section A of this NOFO.Program Administration:In this Cooperative Agreement, PAS will be substantially involved in program activities above and beyond routine monitoring. PAS responsibilities for this program will include, but not be limited to:Participation in the design and direction of program activities/audience analysis study;Participation in the formulation and approval of program policies and protocols;Consultation on, input on, and approval of survey program questions, parameters, scale, scope, timelines, agendas, and administrative procedures;Guidance in execution of all programs;Review and approval of all program publicity, outreach, and recruitment materials to ensure adherence to Department, Bureau, and program branding and messaging, as well as to Qatari law, accounting for cultural sensitivities and privacy concerns;Consultation on and approval of decisions related to special circumstances or problems throughout the duration of the program;Consultation and approval of co-funding and public private partnership initiatives;Approval of key personnel, such as program director, assistant director or deputies, and other senior level managers.Consultation on and approval of volunteers and sub-contractors, if anyConsultation on and approval of outreach strategy and Qatari government notification, if appropriatePrograms must conform with U.S. Embassy requirements and guidelines outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).Award Recipient(s) Responsibilities:The award recipient is responsible for the activities outlined below.

Description:	US Geological Survey, National Wildlife Heath Center, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research to characterize the limits of sensitivity of two emerging, low-cost NGS platforms. Oxford Nanopore¿s technology promises rapid time to pathogen identification as the platform produces data for analysis in real time, rather than having to wait hours or days required to complete a NGS run using a more conventional platform. Will characterize the sensitivity of the Oxford Nanopore Minion platform for the identification of a viral pathogen directly from a sample in as little as 30 minutes. Will also characterize the minimal amount of virus necessary in a sample for the assembly of a whole viral genome using the Illumina iSeq 100 system. The iSeq platform provides an ideal combination of high data density inherent in Illiumina technology but downscaled for single, high-value samples. Finally, will standardize the procedures we develop for the two platforms into SOPs, improve the analytical software for analysis on both platforms, and disseminate this information so that other NAHLN labs can quickly adopt the capability for rapid detection of emerging pathogens.

Description:	The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for developing research to assess the vulnerability of species to environmental change is an important management challenge, particularly for poorly studied species for which species status assessments are required. Agencies such as the Fish and Wildlife Service are tasked with assessing species sensitivities to environmental conditions, their exposure to, and ability to adapt to changing conditions. Yet, defensible assessments currently require detailed knowledge of species-specific traits and ecologies and this information is hard to come by. Vulnerability assessments for lesser-studied species can be extremely challenging. Most vulnerability assessment methods and frameworks are developed using well-studied species and their applicability to species with poorly understood traits and ecologies is questionable. Advances in machine learning and statistical clustering can provide new ways of simply and defensibly assessing sensitivity and adaptive capacity for priority species. A predictive model and associated classification tree can provide an accessible, transparent, and repeatable means of the vulnerability for lesser studied species, lessening the research burden of agencies and staff.

Description:	The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in stream and reservoir temperature modeling. Water temperature is a ¿master variable¿ for many important aquatic outcomes, including the suitability of habitat, evaporation rates, greenhouse gas exchange, and efficiency of thermoelectric energy production. Stream temperature is one of the most widely measured water characteristics by the USGS, though monitoring gaps in time and space requires modeling efforts to understand broad-scale temperature dynamics and supply decision-ready data to our stakeholders. Currently, stream and lake temperature are modeled separately, despite our knowledge that water flowing into a reservoir affects its temperature, and that reservoirs greatly impact the temperature of downstream river reaches. Further, in some places, water managers can affect downstream temperatures via reservoir releases, and understanding when to release, how much to release, and the expected water temperature changes from the release can support better decision making. The USGS and collaborators are developing process-guided machine learning models for streams and lakes that leverage the benefits of both process and machine learning models; the models are grounded in physical realism and perform well in data sparse and data rich conditions (e.g., Read et al., 2019). However, we have yet to model a stream network that reflects both lake and stream temperature dynamics.

Description:	In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) unveiled a set of “Big Ideas,” 10 bold, long-term research and process ideas that identify areas for future investment at the frontiers of science and engineering (see https://ift.tt/2R1HBBV). The Big Ideas represent unique opportunities to position our Nation at the cutting edge of global science and engineering leadership by bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives to support convergence research. As such, when responding to this solicitation, even though proposals must be submitted to the Education and Human Resources (EHR) Directorate/Division of Human Resource Development (HRD), once received, the proposals will be managed by a cross-disciplinary team of NSF Program Directors. The NSF INCLUDES Big Idea is a comprehensive national initiative to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) discoveries and innovations focused on NSF's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and broadening participation in these fields. The vision of NSF INCLUDES is to catalyze the STEM enterprise to work collaboratively for inclusive change, resulting in a STEM workforce that reflects the population of the Nation. More specifically, NSF INCLUDES seeks to improve collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing the preparation, increasing the participation, and ensuring the contributions of individuals from groups that have been historically underrepresented and underserved in the STEM enterprise such as African Americans, Alaska Natives, Hispanics, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, Native Pacific Islanders, persons with disabilities, persons from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and women and girls. Significant advancement in the inclusion of underrepresented groups in STEM will result in a new generation of STEM talent and leadership to secure our nation’s future and long-term economic competitiveness. The NSF INCLUDES National Network is composed of: Alliances, Design and Development Launch Pilots, Coordination Hub, Other NSF funded projects, Federal Coordination in STEM (FC-STEM) agencies, Scholars engaged in broadening participation research, and Organizations that support the development of talent from all sectors of society to build an inclusive STEM workforce. A hallmark of NSF INCLUDES is the focus on the five design elements of collaborative infrastructure to achieve systemic change. Collaborative infrastructure refers to the process by which partnering organizations come together to map out mutually reinforcing activities through: (1) shared vision, (2) partnerships, (3) goals and metrics, (4) leadership and communication, and (5) expansion, sustainability and scale. Through these five design elements of collaborative infrastructure, the successful implementation of NSF INCLUDES will result in substantial advances toward a diverse, innovative, and well-prepared STEM workforce to support our Nation’s economy and continued U.S. leadership in the global STEM enterprise. It is anticipated that NSF’s investment will contribute to new and improved STEM career pathways, policies, opportunities to learn, and practices for equity and inclusion. The initiative is supported by the NSF INCLUDES Coordination Hub (www.includesnetwork.org) that provides a framework for communication and networking, network assistance and reinforcement, and visibility and expansion for the NSF INCLUDES National Network as a whole. Through this solicitation, NSF INCLUDES will support the establishment and growth of new Alliances that employ a collaborative infrastructure approach to address a critical broadening participation challenge in STEM at scale.

Description:	The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Family Assistance (OFA) announces that it will be soliciting applications for the competitive award of grants that support “healthy marriage promotion” activities, including relationship education, parenting, and job and career advancement activities as authorized under 42 U.S.C. § 603(a)(2). The Relationships, Education, Advancement, and Development for Youth for Life (READY4Life) grants will be targeted exclusively to youth, for projects designed to support healthy relationships and marriage, including the value of marriage in future family formation and skills-based healthy relationship and marriage education. Additionally, grants will support activities including parenting (for young fathers and mothers, as applicable), financial management, job and career advancement, and other activities. Projects must be targeted to youth, specified as individuals in high school (grades 9-12), or that are high-school aged or in late adolescence and early adulthood (ages 14 to 24). Applicants must submit proposals designed for youth as specified. Applicants will be strongly encouraged to design programs targeted to one specific program model for one specific service population – e.g., youth in general high school settings, youth aging out of foster care, or youth who are parents– but not multiple models for multiple populations. Grants awarded will support family formation and strengthening activities through one or more of three healthy marriage promotion activities specified under the authorizing legislation: (1) marriage and relationship education/skills (MRES); (2) education in high schools; and (3) public advertising campaigns. ACF is interested in funding a diverse range of projects, from high impact projects, to moderate scope projects, to smaller scope projects. Applicants must provide evidence of organizational capacity to implement their proposed project.
