Dear Colleague Letter: French-US Collaboration in Computational Neuroscience - NSF 12-114
Rapid advances in empirical methods, together with powerful mathematical and computational techniques, and an unprecedented ability to store and analyze large quantities of data, place computational neuroscience at the threshold of paradigm-shifting discoveries. Computational neuroscience thrives from integrating expertise across multiple disciplines and, therefore, is well suited for funding mechanisms specifically designed to foster integrative research and collaboration between different investigators, institutions, and countries. Both France and the United States are strongly interested in fostering collaboration in emerging interdisciplinary topics, and realizing the opportunities posed specifically by computational neuroscience.

US Ignite at NSF
|
|
NSF will serve as the lead federal agency for a White House Initiative called US Ignite, which aims to promote U.S. leadership in the development and deployment of next-generation applications and services with societal impact on ultra-fast, programmable networks. NSF will expand and leverage its investments in the Global Environment for Networking Innovation (GENI) project. GENI, a programmable virtual laboratory or testbed for Internet-scale networking experimentation, sets the technical groundwork for US Ignite. NSF is also encouraging the development of novel, next-generation applications and services that take advantage of these advanced testbeds and have potential for significant societal impact: see the Dear Colleague Letter (http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf12085) and Mozilla Ignite (https://mozillaignite.org) for more information.

Big Data Research Initiative
|
At a White House event on March 29, NSF Director, Dr. Subra Suresh, joined other federal science agency leaders to discuss cross-agency plans and announce new research efforts to extract knowledge and insights from large and complex collections of digital data. NSF will direct its current efforts to develop new methods to derive knowledge from data; construct new infrastructure to manage, curate and serve data to communities; and forge new approaches for associated education and training. Specific announcements relevant to the CISE community include:
Core Techniques and Technologies for Advancing Big Data Science & Engineering, or Big Data, Solicitation
Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship, or IGERT, CIF21 Track Dear Colleague Letter
Data-Intensive Education-Related Research Funding Opportunities Dear Colleague Letter
See the NSF press release for more information.

SI2 program
|
|
The Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) has partnered with the Office of Cyberinfrastructure and the other NSF directorates to establish this crosscutting SI2 program called Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) (http://www.nsf.gov/si2/). Participation from the CISE community is encouraged. The solicitation describes the general terms and conditions of the program. In addition, this letter gives further guidance from the CISE perspective. More.....
