Funding Opportunities at http://www.nsf.gov CCF: NSF 09-555 IIS: NSF09-556 CNS: NSF09-557

Project Types: Medium and Large

team awards of larger funding levels and longer durations multi-investigator collaborative projects

Small: one or two investigator projects CISE-wide Deadlines (Time Windows):

August 1 – 30, 2009; Medium (same dates annually thereafter) Nov. 1 – 28, 2009: Large (same dates annually thereafter) Dec. 1 – 17, 2009: Small (same dates annually thereafter)


CISE Cross-Cutting Programs: FY2010

Three focus areas Data-Intensive Computing Network Science and Engineering Trustworthy Computing

Current solicitation: NSF09-558 Same proposal windows

Areas that cut across the CISE divisions and that could benefit from intellectual contributions of researchers with expertise in a number of fields or sub-fields


Additional CISE-wide Programs

Expeditions in Computing Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) CreativeIT Collaborative Research in Computational

Neuroscience (CRCNS) CISE PATHways (CPATH) to Revitalized

Education in Computing Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Computer Research Infrastructure (CRI)


EAGER and RAPID The Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) program will be

replaced by the following two programs:Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) – will support quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters

and similar unanticipated events Requests may be for up to $200K and of one year duration project descriptions are expected to be brief (two to five pages) and

include clear statements as to why the proposed research is of an urgent nature

EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) will support high-risk, exploratory and potentially transformative research. Requests may be for up to $300K and of up to two years duration. project description is expected to be brief (five to eight pages) and include

clear statements as to why this project is appropriate for EAGER funding More details in Grant Proposal Guide (09-1)
