Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI**2)”. We wish to alert the CIG community of
this potential opportunity. The element of this solicitation that may be
most appropriate for CIG is "Scientific Software Integration (SSI) which
"targets larger groups of PIs around common research problems as well as
common software infrastructure, and will result in a sustainable community
software framework". Level of support equivalent to 1 or 2 senior
personnel, 3-4 grad students and their collective research needs for 3-5 years.
Next year, the “Scientific Software Innovation Institutes" may be of
interest too.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The solicitation was just issued. LOI due May 10,2010.
Full proposal deadline is June 10, 2010. See: </p><p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10029/nsf10029.jsp?org=OCI"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10029/nsf10029.jsp?org=OCI</span></a></p>
