NSF Funding Opportunities:

NSF-12606 Expeditions in Training, Research, and Education for Mathematics and Statistics through Quantitative Explorations of Data (EXTREEMS-QED

The long-range goal of EXTREEMS-QED is to support efforts to educate the next generation of mathematics and statistics undergraduate students to confront new challenges in computational and data-enabled science and engineering (CDS&E). EXTREEMS-QED projects must enhance the knowledge and skills of most, if not all, the institution's mathematics and statistics majors through training that incorporates computational tools for analysis of large data sets and for modeling and simulation of complex systems.

Funded activities are expected to provide opportunities for undergraduate research and hands-on experiences centered on CDS&E (computational and data-enabled science and engineering); result in significant changes to the undergraduate mathematics and statistics curriculum; have broad institutional support and department-wide commitment that encourage collaborations within and across disciplines; and include professional development activities for faculty or for K-12 teachers.

NSF-wide SEES Initiative: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504707

(Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability)

Concepts that underlie the science of sustainability include complex adaptive systems theory, emergent behavior, multi-scale processes, as well as the vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and resilience of coupled human-environment systems. … Conceptual frameworks for sustainability, including general theories and models, are critically needed for such informed decision-making.

Advancing Health Services through System Modeling Research

NSF, in collaboration with the Health Information Technology (IT) Portfolio at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), will accept and review investigator-initiated proposals that address systems modeling in health services research. The Service Enterprise Systems program in the Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) division of the Engineering Directorate will be the lead program on this interdisciplinary topic. Through this partnership, NSF and AHRQ look to foster new collaborations among health services researchers and industrial and systems engineers with a specific emphasis on the supportive role of health IT.

Smart Health and Wellbeing (SHB)

Through the Smart Health and Wellbeing (SHB) Program, NSF seeks to address fundamental technical and scientific issues that would support much needed transformation of healthcare from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive, proactive, evidence-based, person-centered and focused on wellbeing rather than disease. The issues to be addressed include, but are not limited to, sensor technology, networking, information and machine learning technology, modeling cognitive processes, system and process modeling, and social and economic issues.

NSF Social-Computational Systems (SoCS) Program Solicitation NSF 10-600

Replaces Document: NSF 09-559

Due November 11, 2011

The Social-Computational Systems (SoCS) program seeks to reveal new understanding about the properties that systems of people and computers together possess, and to develop theoretical and practical understandings of the purposeful design of systems to facilitate socially intelligent computing. By better characterizing, understanding, and eventually designing for desired behaviors arising from computationally mediated groups of people at all scales, new forms of knowledge creation, new models of computation, new forms of culture, and new types of interaction will result. Further, the investigation of such systems and their emergent behaviors and desired properties will inform the design of future systems.
