These grants provide funds for items not normally available through the student's university. Additionally, these grants allow doctoral students to undertake... More at 9 Paleo Perspectives on Climate Change (P2C2) Full Proposal Deadline Date: October 15, 2013 Program Guidelines: NSF The goal of research funded under the interdisciplinary P2C2 solicitation is to utilize key geological, chemical, atmospheric (gas in ice cores), and biological records of climate system variability to provide insights into the mechanisms and rate of change that characterized Earth's past climate variability, the sensitivity of Earth's climate system to changes in forcing, and the response of key components of the Earth system to these changes. Important scientific objectives of... More at

4 Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Full Proposal Deadline Date: October 15, 2013 Program Guidelines: NSF GEM is a broad- based, community- initiated research program on the physics of the Earth's magnetosphere and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the atmosphere and to the solar wind. The purpose of the GEM program is to support basic research into the dynamical and structural properties of geospace, leading to the construction of a global Geospace General Circulation Model (GGCM) with predictive capability. The exact structure of a GGCM may be modular or may consist of a... More at Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) Full Proposal Window: October 15, 2013 MEDIUM Projects Program Guidelines: NSF Cyberspace has transformed the daily lives of people for the better. The rush to adopt cyberspace, however, has exposed its fragility and vulnerabilities: corporations, agencies, national infrastructure and individuals have been victims of cyber- attacks. In December 2011, the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) with the cooperation of NSF issued a broad, coordinated... More at 39 Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS): Core Programs Full Proposal Window: October 15, 2013 MEDIUM Projects Program Guidelines: NSF CISE s Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS) supports research and education projects that develop new knowledge in three core programs: The Cyber- Human Systems (CHS) program; The Information Integration and Informatics (III) program; and The Robust Intelligence (RI) program.

5 IIS is also responsible for managing the review process for proposals in Computer Graphics and Visualization; these proposals may be submitted to... More at 9 Computer and Network Systems (CNS): Core Programs Full Proposal Window: October 15, 2013 MEDIUM Projects Program Guidelines: NSF CISE s Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) supports research and education projects that develop new knowledge in two core programs: Computer Systems Research (CSR) program; and Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program. Proposers are invited to submit proposals in three project classes, which are defined as follows: Small Projects - up to $500,000 total budget with durations up to three years; Medium Projects -...
