THIEL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM INVITES APPLICATIONS FROM YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
Silicon Valley entrepreneur Peter Thiel has announced that the Thiel Foundation is accepting applications for a new class of "20 Under 20" Thiel Fellows.
Thiel Fellowships provide two-year grants of $100,000 to twenty people under 20 years of age so that they can leave the classroom and pursue innovation.
Since the Thiel Fellowship began in 2011, more than forty young people have been awarded fellowships for project ideas in fields ranging from nuclear and alternative energy, to robotics and biotechnology, to finance, 3D printing, gaming, and software.
During the two-year fellowship, the Thiel Foundation and its network of mentors provide guidance and support to help fellows build their scientific, technical, and entrepreneurial ideas. While fellows are expected to work on their innovative ideas full-time, they determine their specific paths; this might mean starting a company but could also mean doing freelance work, developing a social movement, interning at another company, or pursuing research and development independently.
Though applicants may already have scientific, technical, or nonprofit ideas, Thiel Fellowships are not limited to those with established companies or developed innovations. Teams of up to four may also apply.
To be eligible, applicants must have been born after December 31, 1992. Candidates from around the world are encouraged to apply.
Fellows are encouraged to move to the San Francisco Bay Area for the opportunities and resources that the area provides. However, fellows are welcome to work on their projects from any location. Fellows are asked to take two years away from college so that they can fully focus on their projects without the time and expense of college.
Complete program guidelines, application procedures, and information on previous fellows' projects are available at the Thiel Fellowship Web site.
TRANSITION TO INDEPENDENT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH (TIEHR) CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD
The Transitions to Independent Environmental Health Research (TIEHR) Career Development Award is a three-year bridge scholar development program for newly independent faculty.

This award is for newly independent investigators (within 3 years of their first independent faculty appointment) who have independent research space and resources at their institution. Due: June 12, Oct 12, Feb 12 annually.
COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP PROJECTS
Wells Fargo and the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation have announced Environmental Solutions for Communities, a new grant program to help communities in the United States create a more sustainable future through responsible environmental stewardship.
The program seeks to support projects that link economic development and community well-being to the stewardship and health of the environment. Collectively, investments under this initiative will promote a sustainable future for communities by supporting sustainable agricultural practices and private lands stewardship; conserving critical land and water resources and improving local water quality; restoring and managing natural habitat, species, and ecosystems that are important to community livelihoods; facilitating investments in green infrastructure, renewable energy and energy efficiency; and encouraging broad-based citizen participation in project implementation.
Grant awards typically range from $25,000 to $250,000. The ratio of matching funds offered is one criterion considered during the review process, and projects that meet or exceed a 1:1 match ratio will tend to be more competitive.

NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION
As an agency with responsibilities for maintaining and improving the viability of marine and coastal ecosystems, for delivering valuable weather, climate, and water information and services, for understanding the science and consequences of climate change, and for supporting the global commerce and transportation upon which we all depend, NOAA must remain current and responsive in an ever-changing world. We do this in concert with our partners and stakeholders in federal, state, and local governments and private organizations, applying a systematic approach that links our strategic goals through multi-year plans to the daily activities of our employees.
NOAA issues this BAA for extramural research, innovative projects, and sponsorships (e.g., conferences, newsletters etc.) that address one or more of the following four mission goal descriptions contained in the NOAA Strategic Plan:
1. Long-term mission goal: Climate Adaptation and Mitigation and responding to climate and its impacts. Projected future climate-related changes include increased global temperatures, melting sea ice and glaciers, rising sea levels, increased frequency of extreme precipitation events, acidification of the oceans, modifications of growing seasons, changes in storm frequency and intensity, air quality, alterations in species' ranges and migration patterns, earlier snowmelt, increased drought, and altered river flow volumes. Impacts from these changes are regionally diverse, and affect numerous sectors related to water, energy, transportation, forestry, tourism, fisheries, agriculture, and human health. A changing climate will alter the distribution of water resources and exacerbate human impacts on fisheries and marine ecosystems, which will result in such problems as overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, changes in species distributions, and excess nutrients in coastal waters. Increased sea levels are expected to amplify the effects of other coastal hazards as ecosystem changes increase invasions of non-native species and decrease biodiversity. The direct impact of climate change on commerce, transportation, and the economy is evidenced by retreating sea ice in the Arctic, which allows the northward expansion of commercial fisheries and provides increased access for oil and gas development, commerce, and tourism.
2. Long-term mission goal: Weather-Ready Nation
3. Long-term mission goal: Healthy Oceans
4. Long-term Mission goal: Resilient Coastal Communities and Economies
ABOUT THE CLIMATE PROGRAM OFFICE
The Climate Program Office (CPO) manages competitive research programs in which NOAA funds high-priority climate science, assessments, decision support research, outreach, education, and capacity-building activities designed to advance our understanding of Earth’s climate system, and to foster the application of this knowledge in risk management and adaptation efforts. CPO-supported research is conducted in regions across the United States, at national and international scales, and globally.
