Title
Graduate Student Awards for the Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates and Students - June 26 – July 1, 2011
Agencies
National Institutes of Health (NIH), Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), United States Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
The Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are pleased to announce that they will nominate and sponsor a maximum of 55 graduate students to attend the 61st annual meeting of Nobel Laureates and students in Lindau, Germany, from June 26 through July 1, 2011. This year, we are increasing the number of applications accepted by the sponsors. We invite you to nominate up to two students for each sponsor to be considered for this very exciting opportunity.
Since 1951, Nobel Prize winners and students in chemistry, physics, and physiology or medicine have met annually in Lindau, located on Lake Constance in southwestern Germany. It is anticipated that some 550 students from more than 70 countries will attend the weeklong meeting in 2011. There are formal lectures in the morning, and the remainder of the day is set aside for the students to meet informally with the Nobel Laureate scientists, as well as with their fellow students from around the world. Information on the most recent meeting and comments from students who attended are available at http://www.orau.org/lindau/past-mtgs/default.shtml.
In 2011, the meeting will feature recipients of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. You may nominate students to attend this meeting who:
• are U.S. citizens currently enrolled at a university as full-time graduate students;
• have completed by June 2011 at least two years of graduate studies and not more than four years in physiology, medicine, or in a related field, including the basic biomedical (or life) sciences;
• be supported by and/or working on a project, grant, or fellowship sponsored by the Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC) or the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
We are especially interested in receiving nominations from a diverse group of students, including women, minorities and people with disabilities.
DOE and NIH will again partner this year with ORAU and Mars, Incorporated. Those organizations are separately announcing their nomination processes, but will also accept two nominations as well.
The selection process for the Lindau Meeting occurs over three phases. The universities and National Laboratories complete the first phase by selecting two students per sponsor and submitting the nomination packet for each student. DOE and NIH complete phase two by selecting the students to nominate to the Lindau Meeting. The final phase of selection is completed by the Lindau Meeting and its screening process. All three phases ultimately adhere to the Lindau Meeting’s selection criteria, which is attached with this e-mail message.
All nominations must be submitted online before Monday, November 1, 2010 at 4:00 pm, Eastern Time. Nominees will be notified by December 1, 2010 whether they have been selected. An information sheet on the program is enclosed. Further information about the program, including the Web site for submission of nominations, can be found online beginning on October 1, 2010 at http://www.orau.org/lindau/.

Nanoelectronics for 2020 and Beyond (NEB)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The NSF, through its Directorates for Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and Computer and Information Science and Engineering, together with the semiconductor industry's Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI) plan to jointly support innovative research and education activities on the topic of Nanoelectronics for 2020 and Beyond (NEB). These activities will be supported as interdisciplinary research team awards.
The goal of this solicitation is to advance the forefront of computation, information processing, sensor technologies, and communications infrastructure beyond the physical and conceptual limitations of current technologies. Continuing evolution of electronics beyond the scaling limits of Moore's Law will require broad thinking across multiple disciplines. The program is intended to support proposals by interdisciplinary teams of investigators committed to exploring innovative research concepts in nanoelectronics involving fundamental challenges from novel materials, chemistry, and logic devices, to circuit designs and systems architectures, algorithms, and perhaps entirely new paradigms of computation, sensing, and processing of information. Proposals may also address additional challenges arising from increasing functionality through heterogeneous integration of novel devices and technologies. Proposals should discuss effective ways in which education of the workforce and broadening participation are integrated within the proposed research activities.
Proposals must address aspects of at least two of the research themes below:
1. Exploring New Chemistries and Materials for Nanoelectronics - Materials research and chemistry at the atomic and molecular scales are enabling sciences that underpin nanoelectronics. Research topics to consider will explore novel functions in chemical structures and nanomaterials encompassing electrical, optical, and magnetic behavior. They include, but are not limited to, emerging areas of electronics at the nanoscale such as room temperature spin behavior, multiferroics, and molecular devices, as well as carbon-based nanomaterials. Utilizing methods of directed or nature-inspired self-assembly and approaches for processing and fabrication of novel materials and device structures are important considerations. To enable new directions in nanoelectronics, continued efforts are needed in fundamental science related to (i) developing new synthetic approaches to nanostructures and electronic and photonic materials for nanoelectronics; (ii) understanding the fundamental physical behavior in these chemical structures and materials; (iii) improving methods for efficient processing (including purification) and manipulation of these compounds and materials; (iv) integrating other functionality such as thermal stability and mechanical behavior with nanoelectronics; and (v) exploring innovative device structures that go beyond the constraints of the current technology.
2. Exploring Alternative State Variables and Heterogeneous Integration for Nanoelectronic Devices and Systems - Alternative state variables other than dissipative charge transfer, which is exploited by conventional field-effect transistors, are envisioned as the basis for new logic switches. These alternatives may include electron spin, nanomagnetic domains, multiferroic states, molecular states, nanomechanical motion, phase and interference effects, collective behavior, and other emerging areas of electronics at the nanoscale. Interconnecting devices to build a functional architecture, fabrication/assembly methods, and complex behavior of large nanosystems remain largely unresolved and pose formidable problems at the nanoscale. Future nanoelectronic systems will include increased functional diversity through co-integration of various heterogeneous technologies such as sensors and actuators, energy storage, and bioelectronics to diversify the applications space for semiconductor technology. The severely scaled semiconductor technologies and increased coupling complexity of the densely integrated devices and components may strongly impact innovative design and system reliability. This will require fundamental research innovations in interdisciplinary fields such as nanomaterials, nanoelectronics, thermomechanics, biological and chemical areas as well as new system architectures, algorithms, and embedded highly parallelized software. Self-healing reconfigurable systems and stochastic design approaches including energy efficient systems design may be needed to address reliability and resiliency challenges for future scaled nanoelectronic systems. Innovative approaches are required for modeling system integration at the interface and ensuring compatibility of materials and devices from the processing and integration point of view.
3. Exploring Novel Paradigms of Computing - Future materials and devices may have profound implications on computer science research and lead to innovations on novel paradigms of computing. Such paradigms may reach from the lowest levels of circuit design to software and applications in the abstraction hierarchy and could be different from techniques adopted in conventional CMOS technology. Cross-layer architectures and new design paradigms consistent with the constraints imposed by future devices may be part of this research. These architectures include reconfigurable, evolvable, adaptive hardware architectures, possibly using heterogeneous systems that can dynamically change via software mechanisms; robust and possibly highly parallel architectures capable of combating error prone devices at the nanoscale; highly connective architectures possibly inspired by the human brain; and architectures amenable to low power implementations. A variety of application specific architectures ranging from those required in niche applications to large scale computations such as those required in high performance computing scenarios will also be given consideration.

Examples of possible research areas include, but are not limited to: interdisciplinary research, scientific computing, bioinformatics, computational biology, software engineering, and other areas where computing transforms the discipline and advances the state of the art.
The Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship was previously known as the Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellowship in the United States and Microsoft Research European Fellowship in Europe. In 2010, the reach of these programs has broadened; Microsoft Research will name seven fellows chosen from nominees from Latin America and the Caribbean; Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; the United States; and Canada.
