9. Tempe-Feb 20009 NSF Modes of Support 4 Individual projects 4 Instrumentation 4 Large-scale facilities 4 Fellowships, traineeships, research assistantships, post- doctoral funding 4 Centers –Research –Science and engineering education 4 Small Business Innovation 4 Workshops

10. Tempe-Feb 200010 NSF Key Proposal Review Criteria 4 What is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity? 4 What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?

11. Tempe-Feb 200011 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. Tempe-Feb 200012 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. Tempe-Feb 200013 The ANIR process 4 Goal = Fund proposals! 4 Solicit proposals through program announcements 4 IDEAL --Fund Most? They are thoughtfully and carefully prepared and most should be funded 4 REAL –limited funds –use a peer review process – choose some ______________ MORE FUNDS => FUND MORE PROPOSALS

14. Tempe-Feb 200014 FY 2001 NSF REQUEST 4 NSF = $ 4,600M 4 CISE = $529 M 4 ANIR =$68.7 M 4 I= $45.4M – I= $45.4M – R = $23.3M (http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/fy2001/program_2.htm)

15. Tempe-Feb 200015 Four Networking Infrastructure Communities (Clients of ANI) Network experimenters New IT, computer science Computational Scientists – (biologists, physicists, etc Schools, colleges, educators High End,Virtual Infrastructure High performance Multimedia High Performance Compute Connectivity, medium services QoS, mobilityTelepresenceGrand ChallengeDistance learning A.USA B.INTERNAT A.USA B.INTERNAT A.USA B.INTERNAT A.USA B.INTERNAT
