  2. Funding, Funding, Funding,…(not just for Alan) • Summer support, release time, graduate student support, equipment, travel money, …, etc. • Program Solicitation NSF06-572 • HCC, III, RI (Core technical areas) • HRI, IPS, and IIS-CD (Curriculum Development) • CPATH (NSF06-608; CISE Directorate) • IGERT (NSF06-525; Foundation-wide) • REU Sites (NSF05-592; Foundation-wide) • MRI/CRI (NSF05-515; Foundation/Directorate-wide)

  3. NSF06-572 (IIS-CD) • Curriculum development relating to IIS research area of interest -- RI, HCC, III, HRI, IPS,… • Awards: small, medium, and large projects • See NSF 06-572 for details on proposal format.

  4. CPATHCISE Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing • Solicitation NSF 06-608 • CISE Directorate-wide • Funding amount: $6M in FY07 • Deadline: January 23, 2007 • Some institution and PI limitation requirements • Proposal format; additional review criteria

  5. Motivations for CPATH • Fluctuating enrollments • Multidisciplinary nature of field • Industry and workforce needs • Global economy • Rapid pace of innovation and changes to discipline • Multiple pathways to broaden participation • Future ”Grand Challenges” in undergraduate computing education

  6. CPATH • Supports four types of projects: • Community Building (CB) grants; • Evaluation, Adoption, and Extension (EAE) grants; • Transformation (T) grants; and • CISE Distinguished Education Fellow (EDEF) grants. • Estimated number of awards: ($6M in FY07) • 18 to 30 total; • 15-25 CB awards ($50K-$500K up to 3 yrs.); • 1 or 2 EAE awards (up to $900K up to 3 yrs.); • 1 or 2 T awards (up to $1.5M up to 5yrs.); • 1-3 CDEF awards (up to $250K for 2 yrs.).

  7. Types of Activities Funded by CPATH (1)

  8. Types of Activities Funded by CPATH (2)

  9. Types of Activities Funded by CPATH (3)

  10. CPATH Focus This Year • Community building and CDEFprojects • Planning and pilot projects -- few full scale implementations • Seed many promising ideas with competition in the future for full implementation

  11. Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) • Mainly to support Ph.D. students (10-15 Ph.D.’s) • 2-stage competition • Up to $3.1M for 5 years (2 years ago) • No release time for faculty • 8% overhead • No cost-sharing is required • Ken Whang is IIS representative

  12. REU Sites • REU Sites are encouraged to involve students in research who might not otherwise have the opportunity, particularly those from academic institutions where research programs are limited • Projects may be based in a single discipline or academic department, or on interdisciplinary or multi-departmental research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme • Daniel DeMenthon is IIS representative

  13. Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) • Foundation-wide program (OIA) • Awards: $100K - $2M • Limited submissions per institution • CISE PD is Rita Rodriguez • CRI is CISE-wide and has limited fund. • Submit your MRI proposals to Rita (talk to Rita)!!!
