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.

• Coastal SEES (Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability) 
• Excerpt: Coastal SEES is focused on the sustainability of coastal systems. Successful proposals will incorporate multiple disciplines to contribute to our understanding of complex dynamics in coastal systems. Concepts that underlie the science of sustainability include complex adaptive systems, emergent behavior, and multi-scale processes, as well as the feedbacks, adaptive capacity, vulnerability, and resilience of coupled human and natural systems. The Coastal SEES Program seeks proposals that create inter/trans-disciplinary research teams to conduct major new integrated coastal systems research. These may include theoretical, field, laboratory and/or modeling activities. Proposal budgets should be in the range of $800,000 - $2 million (maximum) total over a period of 3-5 years.

• NIFA Releases Request for Applications for AFRI Foundational Program 
• Excerpt:  The United States of Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) today released the request for applications (RFA) for the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Foundational Program. In fiscal year 2014, NIFA plans to award approximately $82 million to support the AFRI Foundational Program.

• 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.
