15 March 2005 The NeTS Program 3
NeTS Elements
• Currently NSF 05-505 – expected $40 million
• Three elements (this time)– Networking Broadly Defined– Focus Area 1: Programmable Wireless Networks– Focus Area 2: Networking of Sensor Systems
• Includes educational efforts
15 March 2005 The NeTS Program 4
Cyber Trust Program• Broad research areas
– Information/Applications – Systems Software– Communication Networks– Fundamentals
• Education and Workforce Development is a required component of every proposal – For technical specialists and
generalists– For the general public
• Multi-Disciplinary – Spanning technical disciplines– Exploring relations between
technical and social, economic, regulatory, legal domains
• Trustworthiness is a system property– System design may take into
account• Human behavior• Economics• Law• … as well as technical
considerations
• Includes wireless and sensor Includes wireless and sensor network security!network security!
15 March 2005 The NeTS Program 5
CISE CRI Program• CISE Computing Research Infrastructure (NSF 04-588) replaced
– CISE Research Infrastructure – CISE Research Resources– Minority Institutions Infrastructure programs
• CRI supports proposals– Small (<$300k) with no cost sharing required– Medium ($300k-$800k) with 20% cost sharing required from PhD granting
institutions– Large ($800k-$2M) with 30% cost sharing required from PhD granting
institutions • CRI supports infrastructure not normally fundable under other grants
– Infrastructure Acquisition for projects in areas that CISE supports (not necessary to have the research currently funded by CISE)
– Community Resource Development from $300k-$2M with no cost sharing required to create a resource for an entire CISE research community
• Next year's deadlines (but may be moved earlier in the summer)– 25 July 2005 for Letters of Intent for Large proposals – 22 August 2005 for full proposals
15 March 2005 The NeTS Program 6
NSF MRI Program• Objectives of Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI)
– Improve the scientific & engineering equipment for research & research training – Improve quality and expand scope of research & research training in science &
engineering– Foster the integration of research & education by providing instrumentation for
research-intensive learning environments
• Assists in the acquisition or development of major research instrumentation that is too costly for support through other NSF programs
• Maintenance & technical support associated with instruments also supported• Proposals may be for a single instrument, a large system of instruments, or
multiple instruments that share a common research focus• Computer systems, clusters of advanced workstations, networks, and other
information infrastructure components necessary for research are encouraged• Awards for instrumentation range from $100,000 to $2 million • Prior program offering information
– FY 2004 program size was about $75 million and deadline was 22 January 2004– Funding rate for the FY 2003 MRI competition was approximately 40%
• FY 2006 MRI competition has not yet been announced

What You Can Do To Help
15 March 2005 The NeTS Program 13
High Impact From Our Research
• High impact means more than just good papers — it changes practice for the better!
• It is OK to fund high risk, high reward projects even if some do not succeed
• It is NOT OK only to fund flawless projects that would “predictably” lead to incremental results
15 March 2005 The NeTS Program 14
Help from the Community
• Send your best ideas to NSF– Consistent with focus & goals of the program– We want high risk / high reward proposals
• Suggest and encourage good panelists who can do justice to the proposals and our focus
• Volunteer to be a reviewer and panelist
