CISE Goals
• Enable world leadership in computing, communications & Information Science;
• Promote understanding of principles and uses of advanced computing, communiations, and information systems in service to society;
• Contribute to universal, transparent, and affordable participation in an information-based society.
Budget is used to
• Support investigator-initiated research in all areas of computer and information sciences and engineering;
• Develop and maintain cutting-edge national computing and information science infrastructure;
• Contribute to the education and training of the next generation of computer scientists and engineers.
CISE Infrastructure
Provides the general scientific community with
• Access to advanced computing and advanced networking capabilities
• Extremely powerful computing resources
• National infrastructure
• Distributed research resources and systems for research and education

ITR: Information Technology Research
Result of the President’s Info Tech Advisory Committee (PITAC) Report of 1999
Resulted in the “ITR” Program starting in FY00
Budget now over $240M across NSF – more than the CISE Research budget for base programs
Additional $35M for Terascale Computing Infrastructure
PITAC
Presidential Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) points to Software as central product and problem. PITAC Report in 1999.
Major Recommendation: “Make fundamental software research an absolute priority”
Four major research priorities:– Software
– Scalable Information Infrastructure
– High-End Computing (including software R&D)
– Socio-Economic & Workforce Impacts

ITR 2003 Modes of Funding
Three sizes of grants– 30% funding for single-PI projects (<$500K total)
• Each NSF directorate has its own budget (Dec. 12, 2002)
– 50-60% funding to medium groups (<$1M/yr to 5 years)
• No pre-proposals !! (Feb. 12, 2003)• Review centrally coordinated by ITR Committee
– 10-20% funding to large groups (<$3M/yr to 5 years)• Pre-proposals in November 2002, Full proposals March 24,2003• Recommendation from NSF is binding
International and for-profit collaborations are encouraged

International Research Fellowship Program
Supports young researchers to work outside the U.S. for from three to 24 months
• Eligibility: U.S. citizens or Perm. Residents who are within three years of a Ph.D.
• Annual deadline of the second Tuesday in October
• 20 - 40 awards per year
• Re-entry support available
• Contact: [email protected] for further details
Review Criteria
Standard NSF Criteria:– Intellectual Merit of Proposed Activity– Broader Impacts of Proposed Activity
ITR Considerations:– Integration of Research and Education– Integration of Diversity– Innovation in IT
NSF needs reviewers!– Key to all peer-reviewed programs
Review Criteria
As of Oct. 1, 2002, NSF will RETURN WITHOUT REVIEW proposals that do not include in the Project Summary an explicit statement concerning the Broader Impacts of the proposed research and a separate statement addressing the Intellectual Merit of the proposed research!

Submitting Proposals
Select the appropriate Program: www.cise.nsf.gov
Contact the Program Director
Check the Submission Deadline
Indicate correct Program and Organization
Be as explicit as possible: Division, Program
NSF may still decide to move prop to another program
Only submit proposal once--NSF can have proposal considered by multiple programs
Writing Effective Proposals
Reviewers do not yet know how good you are and how wonderful your ideas are: Educate them!
Tell us:– What problem(s) does your work address?
– Why is this problem important?
– What will you do to contribute to a solution?
– What unique ideas/approaches do you have? Put in context
– Why are you the best person to do this work?
– How will you evaluate your results? (How will we know if you were successful or if you failed?)
– How will you assure that the work has an impact?
