Funding for GENI Experiments GENI Experiment Workshop Princeton University June 29-30, 2010 Suzi Iacono, NSF/CISE

Submission Parameters Mechanisms –EAGER (2 years; up to $300K) or supplement (1 year; up to 20%) Funding limits - ~$100K to $200K for 2 years What we want to fund –Students and travel to GECs Due dates –July 6-7, 2010 –Future opportunities, too Where to submit –CISE/CNS/Nets program/S. Iacono

Proposal Sections Exciting research – what will you learn? –Clearly state the research problem –Frontiers of discovery is where we need to be Details of the proposed experiments –Experiments should use multiple kinds of GENI resources What GENI resources will you need? –Be explicit! Include software tools, e.g., measurement Why your experiment could not be done without GENI

Additional Considerations Two universities may be involved –Collaborative EAGERs –Still just students and their travel Or two labs (same university) may be involved –You can ask for 1 student for each lab But only in special cases given funding limitations

How we will decide Limited funds of ~$2M for the set of experiments NSF GENI team will decide prior to July 16 Novelty + feasibility is key We want a portfolio of experiments based on exciting research ideas potentially leading to transformative research results

Next Steps Expectations for experimental service provision –Mark Berman will speak next on what the GPO expects to provide A service provision plan will be available soon –A lot depends on the experiments we decide to fund
