IIS Information and Intelligent Systems CCF Computing and Communications Foundations CNS Computer and Network Systems  Algorithmic Foundations Core Programs  Human-Centered Computing   Networking Technology and Systems Computer Systems Research  Communications and Information Foundations  Information Integration and Informatics ~ 70-75% of CISE Budget in these Core Programs  Software and Hardware Foundations Robust Intelligence  CISECore Research Programs SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  6. CISE Core Programs • Funding Opportunities at http://www.nsf.gov • CCF: NSF 09-555 • IIS: NSF09-556 • CNS: NSF09-557 • Project Types: • Medium and Large • team awards of larger funding levels and longer durations • multi-investigator collaborative projects • Small: one or two investigator projects • CISE-wide Deadlines (Time Windows): • August 1 – 30, 2009; Medium (same dates annually thereafter) • Nov. 1 – 28, 2009: Large (same dates annually thereafter) • Dec. 1 – 17, 2009: Small (same dates annually thereafter) SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  7. CISE Cross-Cutting Programs: FY2010 • Three focus areas • Data-Intensive Computing • Network Science and Engineering • Trustworthy Computing • Current solicitation: NSF09-558 • Same proposal windows • Areas that cut across the CISE divisions and that could benefit from intellectual contributions of researchers with expertise in a number of fields or sub-fields SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  8. Additional CISE-wide Programs • Expeditions in Computing • Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) • CreativeIT • Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS) • CISE PATHways (CPATH) to Revitalized Education in Computing • Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) • Computer Research Infrastructure (CRI) SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  9. EAGER and RAPID • The Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) program will be replaced by the following two programs: Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) – • will support quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters and similar unanticipated events • Requests may be for up to $200K and of one year duration • project descriptions are expected to be brief (two to five pages) and include clear statements as to why the proposed research is of an urgent nature EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) • will support high-risk, exploratory and potentially transformative research. • Requests may be for up to $300K and of up to two years duration. • project description is expected to be brief (five to eight pages) and include clear statements as to why this project is appropriate for EAGER funding • More details in Grant Proposal Guide (09-1) SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  10. NSF Cross-Foundation Programs • Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program • NSF 08-557; CISE Deadline: July 22, 2009 • Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) • NSF 09-519; Deadline: Sept. 14, 2009 • Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU and REU Sites) • NSF07-569; Deadlines: Supplements contact PO • Research in Undergraduate Institutions  (RUI) • NSF 00-144; Deadline: Proposals Accepted Anytime • Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers Program (I/UCRC) • NSF 09-565; Deadline: Sept. 25, 2009 (Refer to solicitation for deadline details and submission procedures) • Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry  (GOALI) • NSF 09-516; (refer to solicitations for Deadlines; Supplement requests accepted anytime – contact cognizant PO) • Office of International Science and Engineering Programs • For Example: Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE); NSF 09-505; Deadlines – Sept. 18, 2009 SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  11. NSF Experiences • Invaluable insights into NSF processes • Research vision and strategic planning • Identifying and structuring programs • Writing program solicitations • Interacting with researchers • Proposal review process (Gold Standard) • Making awards • Award follow on activities • Annual Reports and Highlights SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  12. Preparing an NSF Proposal • Website: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/preparing/ • Study NSF Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) • Find previous awards in similar research areas • http://www.research.gov • Contact PIs in fields of interest • Focus on Transformative Research • Enhancing Support of Transformative Research at the NSF, May 2007, http://nsf.gov/pubs/2007/nsb0732/nsb0732.pdf SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  13. Keys for NSF Success • Understand the Merit Review Process • http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/meritreview/index.jsp • Get to know the Program Managers in your areas of interest • Call and/or visit • Submit innovative proposals • In response to existing Program Solicitations • Organize planning workshops to identify research directions • Talk to the cognizant program director(s) • Help NSF in reviewing submitted proposals • Contact the cognizant program director(s) to volunteer • Agree to provide a review or serve on a review panel when asked SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  14. Subscribe to NSF’s mailing list Special Emphasis Programs www.nsf.gov SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009

  15. SIGHealth Research Funding • Many Health IT Research Projects fall ‘between the cracks’ of NIH and NSF • NIH Research Solicitations • http://grants.nih.gov/grants/oer.htm - Enter Health IT • NSF Research Solicitations • http://nsf.gov/funding - Enter Health IT SIGHEALTH Panel - AMCIS 2009
