communities. The announcement indicates CISE will entertain supplement
requests to existing awards or Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research
(EAGER) to use the Microsoft's Azure services platform (cloud computing).
An internal group will review the Foundation-wide requests and recommend awards
to CISE/OCI. This announcement, posted in early Feb., has gone largely
unnoticed and we bring it to your attention so it can be shared
appropriately with your communities. The deadline for supplemental
funding to existing awards and/or EAGER awards is April 15. Details
can be found at</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.nsf.gov/cise/news/2010_microsoft.jsp"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">http://www.nsf.gov/cise/news/2010_microsoft.jsp</span></a></p>
