  1. The National Science FoundationCISE –ANIRInfrastructure programs THOMAS J. GREENE, Ph.D. Senior Program Director,Advanced Networking Infrastructure Division of Advanced Networking Infrastructure and Research

  2. New Directions for ANIR&Network Infrastructure

  3. Outline • 100,000 ft - NSF • 50,000 ft – CISE • 10,000 ft – ANIR • Recent History • Staffing status • 500 ft –ANI • Ground zero – the Infrastructure Programs

  4. New to NSF Joined NSF-CISE-ANIR as IPA Oct 2000 Career experiences- • Formal Study – Physics degrees • Director of Admin systems -Director of Academic systems • Faculty member of Physics & Computer Science depts • MIT –LCS …14 years (mgr of special projects:Computer resources, Scout –NCHPC, W3C

  5. What is NSF? • Is an Independent Agency of the Federal Government • Was established in 1950 to promote and advance scientific progress in the United States by sponsoring scientific research and by supporting selected activities in science and engineering • Does not conduct research itself

  6. US agencies The President of the United States Office of Science Advisor Other Boards, Management Councils, Etc. Office of and Budget Science & Technology Policy Major Departments Agriculture Health & Interior Transportation Defense Energy Commerce Human Services Independent Agencies National National Smithsonian Nuclear Other Environmental Science Aeronautic Protection Institution Regulatory Agencies Foundation & Space Agency Commission Administration

  7. National Science Foundation

  8. Science Management Agency * * Includes 128 IPA staff (IPA=Intergovernmental Personnel Act)

  9. NSF Modes of Support • Individual projects • Instrumentation • Large-scale facilities • Fellowships, traineeships, research assistantships, post-doctoral funding • Centers • Research • Science and engineering education • Small Business Innovation • Workshops

  10. NSF Key Proposal Review Criteria • What is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity? • What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?

  11. What is CISE? CISE DIVISIONS • (ACIR) • advanced computational • infrastructure & research • (ANIR) • advanced networking • infrastructure & research • (C-CR) • computer-communications research • (EIA) • experimental & integrative Activties • (IIS) • information and intelligent systems

  12. What is ANIR? CISE DIVISIONS • (ACIR) • (ANIR) • advanced networking • infrastructure & research • (C-CR) • (EIA) • (IIS) ANIR -Division director – Aubrey Bush Research Programs Ty Znati +2 1/2 Infrastructure Programs Tom Greene +2 1/2

  13. The ANIR process • Goal = Fund proposals! • Solicit proposals through program announcements • IDEAL --Fund Most? They are thoughtfully and carefully prepared and most should be funded • REAL –limited funds –use a peer review process – choose some ______________ MORE FUNDS => FUND MORE PROPOSALS

  14. FY 2001 NSF REQUEST • NSF = $ 4,600M • CISE = $529 M • ANIR =$68.7 M • I= $45.4M • I= $45.4M • R = $23.3M (http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/fy2001/program_2.htm)

  15. Four Networking Infrastructure Communities (Clients of ANI)

  16. THE VISION –Cyber Infrastructure Computation Broadband Network Connectivity Partnership People & Training Large Databases Digital Libraries Instrumentation (large and/or many small)

  17. PLANS – Oct 15 ,2000 • A. Define new programs • B. Find new Staff • C. Retire old programs– complete all outstanding proposal processing

  18. Status – A, B, C • A. --2 new programs written, (1 in process) • B. --3 people signed (21/Feb, 1/Mar, 15/Mar) • C. -- Catch up on proposals- in process

  19. ANI Programs– • (NSF 01-63) –MWIR - Centerpiece program for Infrastructure & Research: • Network Centric MIDDLEWARE Services (NSF 01-63) –[http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2001/nsf0163/nsf0163.htm] • (NSF 01-73) -HPNC - A new connections program focus is next tier institutions [http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2001/nsf0173/nsf0173.htm] • (NSF 98-104) - Internet Techs - 3 yrs old -rewrite in process. (theme?=End to End ??)

  20. Participate in the process • Proposals needed • Ad-hoc reviewers needed • Panel member reviewers needed • Fresh ideas • Workshops • Publications • White papers • Committees

  21. Conclusions – Important activity Impossible mission • Listen! • Achieve some measurable results • Do not get killed while moving quickly!

  22. Thank You!
