What is NSF?
Is an Independent Agency of the Federal Government
Was established in 1950 to promote and advance scientific progress in the United States by sponsoring scientific research and by supporting selected activities in science and engineering (Vannevar Bush, 1945)
Does not conduct research itself

The ANIR process
Goal = Fund proposals! Solicit proposals through program
announcements IDEAL --Fund Most? They are thoughtfully
and carefully prepared and most should be funded
REAL –limited funds –use a peer review process – choose some
______________MORE FUNDS => FUND MORE
PROPOSALS

PLANS – Oct 15 ,2000
A. Define new programs B. Find new Staff C. Retire old programs– complete
all outstanding proposal processing
Internet 2 March 2001 17
Status – A, B, C
A. --2 new program announcements released, (1 in process)
B. --3 new people (still need three more)
C. -- Catch up on proposals- in process
Internet 2 March 2001 18
Participate in the process Proposals needed Ad-hoc reviewers needed Panel member reviewers needed Fresh ideas
– Workshops– Publications– White papers– Committees

New Directions in NR
Extend the reach of networking through pervasive and ubiquitous networking of heterogeneous devices
Build the scientific basis for future developments in networking
Maintain our leadership capability in networking
Internet 2 March 2001 21
Extending the Reach
Scalability: by researching networking architectures to support very large environments
Security and Privacy in the Information Infrastructure: future applications in the medical, social and commercial fields
Tools for Networked Collaboration: remote collaborations of the future
Internet 2 March 2001 22
Special Projects
Support research in areas of networking, emphasizing their importance in the emerging convergence of communications and computing– Large or multidisciplinary projects– Specialized infrastructure for networking systems
research– Mechanisms for developing research agendas
and enhancing community development
Internet 2 March 2001 23
Information Technology Research ``Information technology will be one of the
key factors driving progress in the 21st century - it will transform the way we live, learn, work, and play. Advances in computing and communications technology will create a new infrastructure for business, scientific research, and social interaction.’’
``The Committee shall provide ... advice and information on high-performance computing and communications, information technology, and the Next Generation Internet.’’
Internet 2 March 2001 24
PITAC Findings
Finding: Federal information technology R&D investment is inadequate– In constant dollars, support has been
flat or declining for ten years Finding: Federal information technology
R&D is too heavily focused on near-term problems– Priority has been given to short-term,
mission-oriented goals, over long term research
Internet 2 March 2001 25
PITAC Recommendations Create a strategic initiative in long-
term information technology– Increase funding base by $1.37 billion
per year by FY 2004.– Encourage research that is visionary
and high-risk– Diversify modes of research support
and increase the duration of projects
Internet 2 March 2001 26
The Bottom Line
CISE ITR budget Fiscal Year 2000
– $36M for Terascale Computer System– $90M for Information Technology
Research Fiscal Year 2001
– $45M for Terascale Computer System– $190M for Information Technology
Research
Internet 2 March 2001 27
ITR 2001 Research Areas 1.System Design and Implementation 2. People and Social Groups
Interacting with Computers and Infrastructure
3.Information Management 4. Applications in Science and Engineering 5. Scalable Information Infrastructure
for Pervasive Computing and Access
Internet 2 March 2001 28
ITR Modes of Funding
Three sizes of grants– 30% for small projects (up to $500K
total)– 35% medium/groups (up to 5 million
and up to 1 million/year)– 35% large projects (up to 15 million
and up to three million/year)• Some flexibility between medium and
large

When NR and NI Meet
Integrate network research and network infrastructure activities in network and middleware services development and foster partnerships between discipline-specific researchers, networkers, ...
– Development of a stable infrastructure, for the efficient utilization of the service capabilities available in backbones
– seamless high end-to-End performance, extending beyond the edge of the backbone
– identify new high performance network needs of the scientific disciplines and enable the network community to meet these needs
