Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation - S2I2 (SI2-S2I2) - Conceptualization
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) is a long-term investment focused on realizing a portion of the Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Century Science and Engineering (CIF21, http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504730) vision and catalyzing new thinking, paradigms and practices in science and engineering. CIF21 envisions a linked cyberinfrastructure architecture that integrates large-scale computing, high-speed networks, massive data archives, instruments and major facilities, observatories, experiments, and embedded sensors and actuators, across the nation and the world, and that enables research at unprecedented scales, complexity, resolution, and accuracy by integrating computation, data, and experiments in novel ways.
Software is a primary modality through which CIF21 innovation and discovery will be realized. It permeates all aspects and layers of cyberinfrastructure (from application codes and frameworks, programming systems, libraries and system software, to middleware, operating systems, networking and the low-level drivers). The CIF21 software infrastructure must address the complexity of this cyberinfrastructure, accommodating: disruptive hardware trends; ever-increasing data volumes; data integrity, privacy, and confidentiality; security; complex application structures and behaviors; and emerging concerns such as fault-tolerance and energy efficiency. The programs must focus on building robust, reliable and sustainable software that will support and advance sustained scientific innovation and discovery.

The Division of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure in the Computer & Information Science & Engineering Directorate (CISE/ACI) is partnering with Directorates and Offices across the NSF to support SI2, a long-term comprehensive program focused on realizing a sustained software infrastructure that is an integral part of CIF21. The goal of this program is to catalyze and nurture the interdisciplinary processes required to support the entire software lifecycle, resulting in sustainable community software elements and reusable components at all levels of the software stack. The program addresses software in all aspects of cyberinfrastructure, from embedded sensor systems and instruments, to desktops and high-end data and computing systems, to major instruments and facilities.
The goal of the overall SI2 program is to create a software ecosystem that scales from individual or small groups of software innovators to large hubs of software excellence. It is envisioned that the SI2 program will collectively support vibrant partnerships between academia, government laboratories and industry, including international entities, for the development and stewardship of a sustainable software infrastructure that can enhance productivity and accelerate innovation in science and engineering.
The SI2 program includes three classes of awards:
1. Scientific Software Elements (SSE): SSE awards target small groups that will create and deploy robust software elements for which there is a demonstrated need that will advance one or more significant areas of science and engineering.
2. Scientific Software Integration (SSI):SSI awards target larger, interdisciplinary teams organized around the development and application of common software infrastructure aimed at solving common research problems faced by NSF researchers in one or more areas of science and engineering. SSI awards will result in a sustainable community software framework serving a diverse community or communities.
3. Scientific Software Innovation Institutes (S2I2): S2I2s are an integral part of the SI2 software ecosystems and focus on the establishment of long-term hubs of excellence in software infrastructure and technologies, which will serve a research community of substantial size and disciplinary breadth. The outcomes of S2I2 go beyond the software itself, including the software development infrastructure and process, successfully responding to science challenges, and enabling transformative new science. These institutes will provide expertise, processes and architectures, resources and implementation mechanisms to transform computational science and engineering innovations and community software into robust and sustained software infrastructure for enabling science and engineering, which in turn will transform research practices and productivity. S2I2 proposals will bring together multidisciplinary teams of domain scientists and engineers, computer scientists and software engineers, technologists and educators.
This solicitation is focused on the Scientific Software Innovation Institutes (S2I2) class of awards. S2I2 includes two subclasses of awards: Conceptualization Awards, which are planning awards aimed at organizing an interdisciplinary community and understanding their software requirements and challenges, and Implementation Awards, which will be made to implement community activities that support software infrastructure, for example, such as those developed by the conceptualization awards.

Description
The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for the Validation of Pediatric Patient Reported Outcomes in Chronic Diseases (PEPR) Consortium. The NIAMS, on behalf of the National Institutes of Health, intends to capitalize on recent advances in the science of Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) to measure the patient experience in clinical care and research in children with a variety of chronic diseases and conditions (e.g., asthma, juvenile arthritis, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, obesity and overweight, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, sickle cell disease, malnutrition, developmental disabilities including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy and mental illnesses) using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) tools and approaches coupled with detailed clinical phenotyping and/or biospecimen collection in well-characterized human cohorts. The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is a system of highly reliable, precise measures of patient–reported health status for physical, mental, and social well–being. PROMIS tools measure what patients are able to do and how they feel by asking questions. PROMIS’ measures can be used as primary or secondary endpoints in clinical studies of the effectiveness of treatment.

Title
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), Faculty Development Grant, Fiscal Year (FY) 2015
Agencies
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Description
This program provides funding to support nuclear science, engineering, and related
disciplines to develop a workforce capable of supporting the design, construction,
operation, and regulation of nuclear facilities and the safe handling of nuclear materials.
This announcement is for faculty development grants.
The objectives of the Faculty Development Program are to attract and retain highlyqualified
individuals in academic teaching careers. The grants specifically target
probationary, tenure-track faculty during the first 6 years of their career and new faculty
hires in the following academic areas: Nuclear Engineering, Health Physics,
Radiochemistry, Probability Risk Assessment (Levels 2 & 3) and related disciplines.
Grants may include support for developing applications for research and amounts for
initiating or continuing research projects in their areas of expertise. Other areas might
include course development, equipment, stipends, participation in professional society
meetings, and preparation of papers, travel, and associated expenses. The NRC may
increase funds to the extent that a portion of the award is matched by the institution. The
program provides support to enable newer faculty to enhance their careers as professors
and researchers in the university department where employed. The research supported
by this announcement is intended to benefit the nuclear sector broadly.

direct costs plus facilities and administrative costs) per year. However, institutions are
encouraged to leverage NRC funding to enhance the educational benefits of the NRC
grant. Applications demonstrating such leveraging to further the goals of this
announcement will receive additional consideration in the peer review process (see

Title
A-21 Grant Program for New Positions
Agencies
Virginia Tech (VT)
Description
The A-21 program for clerical and administrative support is intended to foster development of new research programs by providing for funding that cannot be directly charged to grants and contracts. The Office of Research is responsible for the distribution of these funds.
Funding requests can come forward for new A-21 funds from colleges, departments, and approved/chartered research centers. Employment classifications that may be considered for this funding include university and classified staff in clerical and fiscal areas. Proposed positions are expected to be salaried (faculty and wage positions are ineligible). Priority will be given to proposals that demonstrate the fostering and development of new and/or expanding areas of research.
Examples of appropriate initiatives to be supported by this funding include, but are not limited to, the following: A new administrative position for college-level grant-writing support services, or a new clerical or administrative assistant for a department of research center to support expanded research activities.
The amount available for FY15-16 is estimated to be $125,000 in direct salary costs to be distributed to support new proposals selected in this cycle. The associate deans for research and graduate studies group (CARS/CAGS) will be responsible for reviewing proposals for funding and recommending awardees to the associate vice president for research.
To provide A-21 funding for new initiatives, all current A-21 funds made in the prior fiscal year are being reduced by a 10-percent linear reduction per year over a 10-year time frame. This approach provides a pool for new allocations at the beginning of each fiscal year.
The deadline for proposal submission is March 18. Formal notification by letter will be made by May 15; the funding year begins July 1.
