The Political Science Program at the National Science Foundation (NSF) announces it awards for basic research support and dissertation improvement grants for fiscal year 2011. The Program funded 25 new projects and 44 doctoral dissertation improvement proposals. The Political Science Program spent $5,234,470 on these research, training and workshop projects and $483,822 on dissertation training grants for political science students. The program holds two grant competitions annually —Regular Research, August and January 15; Dissertation Improvement, September 16 and January 15— and constitutes a major source of political science research funding as part of fulfilling NSF's mission to encourage theoretically focused empirical investigations aimed at improving the explanation of fundamental social and political processes and structures.

Abstract The study is based on the National Science Program 'eHealth in Bulgaria (e-Health)', funded by the Ministry of Education and Science. Partnership Contract No. D-01-200/16.11.2018 Issue In the last years in Bulgaria has been working hard to improve the information and communication environment through the National Science Program 'e-Health'. The links between the health of working people and the social and environmental determinants of public health are best identified by the WHO through the International Classification for Human Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). In Bulgaria, about 650 occupational health services (OHSs) that use heterogeneous software products. Description of the Problem A targeted study of the ICF's capabilities opens the horizon to integrate social and environmental health factors in an increasingly aging and morbid workforce, with people with disabilities, and with electronic access to social and medical services. The creation of an electronic system for dynamic monitoring of any change in human functioning health of workers and their determinants, allows the OHS, the organs of workability expertise to make the right decisions in work placement. Results A scientific toolkit has been developed for the introduction of the ICF Module for updating the electronic health integrated dossier for all STMs with a view to applying the common methodology of EUROSTAT, EC, Directorate-General F5 for the consolidation of occupational disease data and other health problems in functioning, disability and health to working people. Lessons The ICF module supports both the company's occupational health and safety policy, the OHS, and the implementation of a higher class electronic network, a challenge that inevitably faces the digitalisation of every European country. The module contributes to the extension and refinement of information. Data will be provided on priority risk factors that have harmed workers' health. Key messages The ICF module creates opportunities for rapid and correct measures to ensure good occupational health. The ICF module creates opportunities for rapid and correct measures people with disabilities in a changing demographic and health environment.

Positive Engagement

The Indigenous Sky Stories Program may have the potential to deliver significant and long-lasting changes to the way science is taught to Year 5 and 6 primary school students. The context for this article is informed by research that shows that educational outcomes can be strengthened when Indigenous knowledge is given the space to co-exist with the hegemony of current western science concepts. This research presents a case study of one primary school involved in the Indigenous Sky Stories Program. It showcases how teachers and students worked in conjunction with their local community to implement the program. The results suggest that introducing cultural sky stories into the science program, engaged and primed Year 5 and 6 students to seek out additional sky stories and to investigate the astronomical content mapped to the National Science Curriculum. The involvement of Aboriginal elders and community enriched the experience for all involved. The integrated science program appears to generate positive engagement for both Indigenous students and their non-Indigenous peers. Additionally, the program provided a valuable template for teachers to emulate and which can act as a model for the requirement to include Indigenous perspectives in the new National Science Curriculum.

The Political Science Program at the National Science Foundation (NSF) announces it awards for basic research support and dissertation improvement grants for fiscal year 2009. The program funded 56 new projects and 34 doctoral dissertation improvement proposals. (Additional program funds were spent on continuing grant increments. These result from awards that were made in previous fiscal years, but where funds are being disbursed on a yearly basis instead all up front.) The Political Science Program spent $10,461,799 on these research, training, and workshop projects and $383,238 on dissertation training grants for political science students. In addition, the program contributed $345,000 to support three Graduate Research Fellowships. The program holds two grant competitions annually (Regular Research, August and January 15; Dissertation Improvement, January 15) and constitutes a major source of political science research funding as part of fulfilling NSF's mission to encourage theoretically focused empirical investigations aimed at improving the explanation of fundamental social and political processes and structures.
