National Science Foundation (NSF) Stimulus Spending Taking Shape
Colleagues,
As reported in Genome Web News ... The National Science Foundation is preparing the details of how it will parse out much of the $3 billion it received from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which will include funding for standard grants, cutting-edge research, some previously declined proposals, and research infrastructure.
These will be awarded swiftly in order to maintain the jobs preservation and creation mandate of the ARRA package. All of the research grants will be standard grants with durations of up to five years, which will enable NSF to structure its portfolio in a sustainable way.
NSF said it plans to fund CAREER grants that support research education activities of junior faculty, and IGERT grants that support interdisciplinary research and training for grad students. Some of the funds also will go to the Major Research Instrumentation program and to the Academic Research Infrastructure program, with solicitations for both of these to be issued soon.
NSF will place an emphasis on funding high-risk, high-return research programs when it gives awards for new principal investigators...Proposals that were declined on or after Oct. 1, 2008, also will be considered, with reversals being based on the quality of their reviews and the lack of available funding at the time to support such projects.

ENJOY!
