Partnerships• Cyberscience

– DISUN/Tier 2c (with OCI)

– UltraLight (with OCI)

– Trillium and OSG (with OCI and DOE)

• Education with research– QuarkNet (with OMA, EHR and DOE/HEP)

– CHEPREO (with OMA, OCI, EHR, OISE)

– I2U2 (with OMA, EHR)

– Mariachi (OCI funded)

– CyberBridges (OCI funded)


NSF Partnership with DOE

• NSF is committed to close partnership with DOE on several fronts on EPP:– LHC (construction of detectors, NSF supporting

science on ATLAS, CMS, PHY $18M/yr + OCI $1M/yr)

– DUSEL (NSF steward; DOE supports R&D)– ILC (DOE steward; NSF & DOE on FALC and R&D;

NSF $1.44M in FY07)


NSF/DOE Partnership Example

• ILC Accelerator R&D at Cornell– Recent SRF Cavity Development

Cornell, in collaboration with KEK, hasreached a new world record accelerating field in a single cell superconducting niobium cavity : Eacc = 57 - 59 MV/m.


NSF/DOE Partnership Example

• QuarkNet Currently: 53 Centers in 25 States & Puerto Rico

Active research participants:

500 High School Teachers

100 High School Students

150 Physicist Mentors

Coverage: 12 Major Expts + GRID

Immersive research experiences for HS Teachers and Students


Messages to “take away”– NSF is and expects to remain a strong supporter of

the Fermilab experimental program and its broader impacts.

– NSF has a successful history of partnerships with DOE/OHEP

• LHC: Detector Construction and LHC Operations• Pierre Auger, KamLAND, CDMS, Veritas,…• QuarkNet

– NSF vision of partnerships for the Future• ILC: DOE is lead, with NSF in supporting role• DUSEL: NSF is lead, with DOE in supporting role
