GCC & VO: Overarching Recommendations & Suggestions Permanent programmatic activities in CDS&E should be established within NSF. These activities should range from division- and directorate-level programs for discipline-specific aspects of CS&E, to permanent NSF-wide cross-cutting CS&E programs possibly managed by OCI. Interdisciplinary projects could be co-funded between cross-cutting and relevant disciplinary programs…. • CS&E generally “falls through the cracks” in the current organizational structure of the National Science Foundation • Numerous federally-commissioned reports support the need for cyberinfrastructure for CS&E • There are over 125 programs in CS&E fostered by universities across the country (based on a recent SIAM study). • The CS&E discipline is of fundamental importance in the CF21 initiative: Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Century Science and Engineering
