Subject: New Website Features Russian Presidential Elections
Hi Friends,
Greetings from "Russia on the Web," our just-completed new website
(under construction since last November). Please visit us at:
http://www.valley.net/~transnat
We hope Friends and other web sites will add reciprocal links to us.
As our "opening feature," we've created a special section on the
Russian presidential elections June 16, 1996.
Besides timely coverage of Russian society, we focus on Russian
culture, and particularly on religion and philosophy. In those two areas,
we've sponsored Russian-American conferences annually since 1991.
Best regards,
Clinton Gardner

Subject: Question and compliment
First I would like to say that your Internet setup is really slick. The
organization and indexing I found very helpful. Unfortunately I couldn't
find an answer to what I was searching for. I am trying to contact someone
in Russia and I only have their postal address in English. I have heard
that the Russia Postal service is not the best, therefore I wanted to
translate the address into Cyrillic.
I found several software packages that would print Cyrillic fonts and
dictionary/translator Web pages under your languages index but since an
address do not necessarily translate they did not solve my problem (even
if it did I wouldn't be able to tell if the font/translation was correct
:). Since I don't know Russia or Cyrillic, I was wondering if you knew of
a way I could lookup an address in its Cyrillic form given the English
form or if you could point me to someone who could help me with this
problem.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi
Firstly, thanks for www page. I think I saw a news posting about it, but I
can't be sure.
I have a particular interest that I would like to track down.
I'm building a live steammodel of a locomotive that was sent from the UK to
the Urals in 1931/2. It was the only Beyer-Garret that Russia ever had.
It was built in Manchester, delivered, tested and scraped soon after. This
was not due to performance but the politics at that time.
I believe that there is a railway museum in St.Petersburg. I would dearly
like to trace any additional information about this locomotive. I don't
think my chances are high.
Can you help in any way please?
Thanks

Subject: RFA TW-96-003--Intl. Training/Research in Environmental/Occup.
Health
RFA TW-96-003--Intl. Training/Research in Environmental/Occup. Health
SPONSOR: Fogarty International Center
SYNOPSIS: Five-year grants are provided to non-profit private or
public U.S. institutions to develop international training and
research programs related to environmental health for foreign health
scientists and clinicians from developing countries and emerging
democracies. The total (direct and indirect) cost per grant for the
first year must not exceed $150,000.
DEADLINES: 04-12-1996 06-18-1996
OBJECTIVES: The Fogarty International Center (FIC) of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with the National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), NIH, and the
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), invites applications from
non-profit private or public U.S. institutions with interest in
developing international training and research programs related to
environmental health for foreign health scientists, clinicians,
epidemiologists, toxicologists, engineers, industrial hygienists,
chemists, and allied health workers from developing countries and
emerging democracies. The objectives of this program are to train
scientists from developing countries and emerging democracies to deal
effectively with environmental and occupational health problems
through epidemiologic research, environmental monitoring, engineering
control, and prevention research. The original RFA encouraged
collaborations with developing countries in Central and Eastern Europe
and Latin America. The current RFA allows such collaborations,
particularly in countries not included in the first funding cycle.
RESTRICTIONS: Applicants are asked to submit a
letter of intent by April 12, 1996. Applications must be received by
June 18, 1996. The grantee institution must be a U.S., non-profit
private or public institution. Although most applications will be from
academic institutions, a non-academic, non-profit institution may
apply. Only one application from any U.S. institution will be allowed
under this program. Institutions funded under the previous competition
are not eligible to apply under this RFA. Trainees must be foreign
nationals who are not permanent U.S. residents and who are involved in
or are expected to be involved in environmental or occupational health
research and prevention activities in their home country. The
following categories of individuals are eligible for training: 1)
health professionals (M.D., Ph.D., or equivalent); 2) individuals with
a bachelors or masters degree in a basic, physical, engineering or
health science; 3) technicians, worker safety and health specialists,
and health care workers; 4) professionals such as engineers, chemists
and industrial hygienists; and 5) current or former trainees involved
in advanced research training in their home countries. Grants will be
made as international training grants in epidemiology (D43)
institutional awards for a total project period of five years. The
total (direct and indirect) cost per grant for the first year must not
exceed $150,000. The following cost categories are eligible for
reimbursement under this program: living allowance (stipend)
comparable to trainee's professional level and compatible with
established NIH guidelines, but not to exceed $45,000 per annum while
undergoing training in the U.S.; living allowance (stipend) while
conducting in-country dissertation research or in-country advanced
research training at a level comparable to that received by similar
professionals in-country, but also not to exceed $45,000 per annum;
tuition and fees at the U.S. university; round trip economy class air
fare between the U.S. and home country (two trips for M.S. or Ph.D.
candidates and advanced research trainees, one for all others);
allowance for the grantee institution of up to $600 monthly per
trainee to cover health insurance, travel to scientific meetings, and
incidental research expenses; additional research support of up to
$15,000 per trainee to facilitate the conduct of advanced research
training in the home country conducted by current or former trainees;
support of up to $10,000 for in-country field research in partial
fulfillment of the M.S. or Ph.D training program; travel and per diem
for the program director and U.S. faculty colleagues to provide
guidance to students conducting dissertation-related field studies or
advanced research training in their home countries; program director's
salary (up to 10% of annual salary or $10,000, whichever is smaller);
travel and per diem for U.S. faculty presenting short-term, in-country
courses; support to enable U.S. faculty to be involved in advanced
research training activities conducted in-country; administrative
expenses at the U.S. institution (secretarial expenses, etc.) not to
exceed 10 percent of the direct costs of this award; and support for
travel and subsistence of U.S. or foreign investigator(s), and the
exchange of data, materials and supplies, not to exceed 10 percent of
direct costs of this award unless prior approval is secured from the
FIC. Grantee institutions may request an indirect cost allowance based
on eight percent of the total allowable direct costs exclusive of
tuition and related fees and expenditures for equipment. An estimated
three awards will be made depending upon the quality of approved
applications. Applications kits are available at most institutional
offices of sponsored research and may be obtained from the Grants
