The "New" icons indicate recent new announcements (includes announcements for regular solicitations), and not necessarily new programs.  These are primarily, though not limited to, NSF solicitations.  Not all new announcements are included in the list below.

• John Wesley Powell Center for Earth System Science Analysis and Synthesis  
• Excerpt: The John Wesley Powell Center for Earth System Science Analysis and Synthesis fosters innovative thinking in Earth system science through collaborative synthesis activities. This mission is driven by the growing recognition that synthesis is critical to solving complex problems facing Society. The Center invites interdisciplinary Working Groups comprised of USGS researchers and their national and international colleagues in academia and government to submit proposals. FY2015 awardees will be announced in June 2014. FY 2015 proposals are due April 30, 2014.
• Critical Dates:   April 30, 2014

• Dimensions of Biodiversity FY2014 
• Excerpt: The goal of the Dimensions of Biodiversity campaign is to transform, by 2020, how we describe and understand the scope and role of life on Earth. The campaign promotes novel, integrated approaches to identify and understand the evolutionary and ecological significance of biodiversity amidst the changing environment of the present day and in the geologic past. For this year's solicitation, research projects must integrate all three of these dimensions of biodiversity (genetic diversity, taxonomic/phylogenetic diversity, and functional diversity) with the goal of understanding the interactions and feedbacks among these dimensions. For FY2014 the US-China partnership will support research projects, which must address and integrate the three dimensions of biodiversity as described in this solicitation. For FY2014 NSF will continue the partnership with the São Paulo State Research Foundation (FAPESP) of Brazil to facilitate coordinated funding of up to two US-São Paulo Collaborative Research projects.

• Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) 
• Excerpt:  The Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) Program supports the generation of extended time series of data to address important questions in evolutionary biology, ecology, and ecosystem science. Research areas include, but are not limited to, the effects of natural selection or other evolutionary processes on populations, communities, or ecosystems; the effects of interspecific interactions that vary over time and space; population or community dynamics for organisms that have extended life spans and long turnover times; feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes; pools of materials such as nutrients in soils that turn over at intermediate to longer time scales; and external forcing functions such as climatic cycles that operate over long return intervals.
• Critical Dates:   Preliminary Proposal: Jan 30, 2014
