Federal Research
Priorities for FY2017
Each year, the US Office of Science and Technology Policy
sends a memo to the heads of federal research funding agencies indicating
priorities for the next budget cycle. Below are several excerpts
from the memo that can be found at https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/memoranda/2015/m-15-16.pdf
Multi-Agency R&D priorities
Global climate change. … prioritize activities
that foster the development and use of actionable data, information, and
related tools needed to prepare for and reduce climate-related risks and should
prioritize investments that support technical assistance for community
climate-preparedness efforts.
Clean energy.
.. promoting American leadership in renewable energy (including manufacturing
for these technologies and a modernized electric grid); unlocking innovation in
other key clean energy technologies; building a clean and efficient 21 st
century transportation sector; and cutting energy waste in homes, businesses,
and factories. … agencies might consider technology development that
leverages renewable energy to power water desalination or purification-
reducing the GHG footprint of drinking water and bolstering the resilience of
communities in drought-prone areas.
Earth observations.
Earth-observation data are instrumental to services that protect human
life, property, the economy, and national security, and advance
understanding the Earth as a
system. Federal agencies should advance the goals
of the 2014 National Plan for Civil Earth
Observations.
Advanced manufacturing and industries of the future.
… Agencies should also prioritize investments in enabling technologies that
benefit multiple sectors of the economy, such as nanotechnology, robotics, the
Materials Genome Initiative, and cyber-physical systems and their application
to smart cities.
Innovation in life sciences, biology, and neuroscience.
Agencies should give priority to programs that support fundamental biological discovery
research that could generate unexpected, high-impact scientific and
technological advances in health, energy, and food security, particularly in
the President 's BRAIN Initiative, the National Strategy for Combating
Antibiotic Resistance, and the National Strategy for Biosurveillance (e.g.,
infectious-disease forecasting capabilities). Priority should also be
placed on research that seeks fundamental principles that cut across habitats
and biological systems, such as those that govern the behaviors of microbiomes
in diverse environments. … Agencies should support
investments on improving interoperability of health records, addressing privacy
concerns, and launching research that will enable discoveries derived from Big
Data.
National and homeland security. … Priority
should be given to investments to develop capabilities in countering weapons of
mass destruction, addressing the immediate risks to our national security posed
by climate change, handling large data sets for national security mission
requirements, advancing hypersonics, and developing accelerated training
techniques.
Information technology and high-performance computing.
Agencies should prioritize research guided by the Trustworthy Cyberspace:
Strategic Plan for Cybersecurity R&D Programs to develop technologies
that can protect U.S. systems against cyber-attacks. Agencies
should … promote innovation in high performance computing; modeling and
simulation; and advanced hardware technology to support national security,
scientific discovery, and economic competitiveness. Agencies should
also give priority to investments that address the challenges and opportunities
afforded by the expansion of Big Data to advance agency missions and further
scientific discovery and innovation while providing appropriate privacy
protections for personal data.
R&D for informed policy-making and management.
A diverse range of agency missions (e.g. natural resource management protecting
health and the environment; global health security needs to prevent, detect,
and respond to emerging infectious diseases) benefit from R&D that
strengthens the scientific basis for decision-making. In order to
maximize the societal benefits of R&D investments, research planning and
design should be guided by stakeholder and user engagement. Both
mission-centered agencies and R&D agencies should focus on creating user
driven information and tools that enable the translation of scientific
observations to decisionmaking frameworks.
STEM Education Guidance
Investments in STEM education should be guided by the
priorities outlined in the Federal STEM Education 5-Year Strategic Plan
developed by the Committee on STEM Education under the National Science and
Technology Council, and should continue to pursue the goals of enhancing
program effectiveness and reducing program fragmentation. Priority
should be given to programs that use evidence to guide program design and
implementation or that build evidence about what works in STEM education, using
appropriate metrics and improving the measurement of outcomes. Agencies should
give priority to policies and actions identified by research as having the
greatest potential to increase inclusion and diversity in STEM education,
research, and careers such as changes in STEM instruction; changing the image
of STEM education and careers; and reducing explicit, implicit, and structural
biases against girls, women, and members of underrepresented minority groups

UCR Research
Funding for FY2015
In FY2015 which ended June 30, 2015, UCR received $124,468,269
for research and sponsored projects, up from $113,859,766 in FY2014, an
increase of 9.3%. Federal grants totaled $79,129,629, up 13.8% from last
year. UCR faculty supported by UCR staff are to be congratulated for
being increasingly successful in a competitive funding environment.

Patient-Centered Outcomes Research and Human
Subjects Protection Webinar: July 30
You are cordially invited to a free webinar on the topic of
patient-centered outcomes research and human subjects protection scheduled for 12:30
p.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, July 30, in Room G650 of the School of Medicine
Education Building.
Jointly sponsored by the Office of Research and Economic
Development and the School of Medicine, the webinar is presented by the
Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs, Inc.
Additional information, including names and positions of the presenters,
appears below.
Patient Centered Outcomes Research
The rapidly growing funding for patient-centered outcomes
research is affecting many organizations and IRBs. Research projects comparing
outcomes of various clinical practices, including both observational and
randomized studies yield valuable evidence in a learning health care system.
This type of research also poses some new considerations for IRBs as they
proceed to efficiently review comparative effectiveness research without
compromising protections. This webinar will address the ethical issues that
have been raised to date in this type of research, and offer guidelines for training
IRB members to review outcomes research. Also, some attention will be
given to all activities conducted along the boundary between research and
practice.

Vermillion Flycatcher
The vermilion flycatcher is one of
my favorite birds to photograph. It’s colorful, it’s not very shy, and it
likes perching on open branches. Prado Regional Park in Chino is the
most reliable place to find them, often in the trees by the Frisbee golf
course.
