Title: Evaluative Research and Evaluation Capacity Building (EREC) and Research on Learning and Education (ROLE) (EREC/ROLE)
Agency: NSF
Deadlines: Full Proposal Deadline(s) (due by 5 p.m. proposer's local time):
EREC proposals -- May 15 annually
ROLE proposals -- June 1 annually
ROLE proposals -- Dec. 10 annually
Summary:
Evaluative Research and Capacity Building (EREC)The EREC Program seeks proposals that offer unique approaches to evaluation practice in the generation of knowledge for the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education community and for broad policymaking within the research and education enterprise. Successful proposals may focus on evaluations of multiple education programs or projects with similar objectives, may bundle several programs or projects together to examine major STEM education themes, may focus on various facets or common elements among programs or projects, or may focus on the development of capacity within the education evaluation field.
Research on Learning and Education (ROLE)
The ROLE program's focus on research complements the EREC focus on evaluation. ROLE seeks to capitalize on important developments across a wide range of fields related to human learning and to STEM education. It supports research across a continuum that includes 1) the biological basis of human learning; 2) behavioral, cognitive, affective and social aspects of human learning; 3) STEM learning in formal and informal educational settings; and 4) changing educational systems to improve STEM learning. The ROLE Program aims to advance the knowledge base within and across the intersections of these multidisciplinary areas. It encourages projects that reconcile and integrate basic research and educational practice and generate hypotheses from one disciplinary area that can be tested and refined in another.

Title: Computer Systems Research (CSR)
Agency: NSF
Deadlines: Nov. 11, 2005; second Friday in November annually
Summary: Computer systems are ubiquitous and society is increasingly dependent on them. They range from microprocessors embedded in automobiles and appliances to worldwide grids of advanced processors, storage, graphics devices and instruments interconnected by high-speed networks. They are controlled by systems software, which has two main roles: manage the underlying hardware resources and provide abstractions and services that facilitate the implementation and execution of application programs. However, too often computer systems fail, become compromised, or perform poorly. Moreover, they have become increasingly large and complex, thereby compounding problems. Addressing these challenges requires major advances in systems software. The Computer Systems Research (CSR) program supports innovative research and education projects that have the potential to: lead to significant improvements in existing computer systems by increasing our fundamental understanding of such systems; produce systems software that is qualitatively and quantitatively more reliable and more efficient; and/or, to produce innovative curricula or educational materials that better prepare the next generation of computing professionals. The CSR program is also interested in projects that expand the capabilities of existing systems by exploiting the potential of new technologies or by developing innovative new ways to use existing technologies. Projects supported will strive to make significant progress on challenging, high-impact problems-as opposed to incremental progress on familiar problems-and will have a credible plan for demonstrating the utility and potential impact of the proposed work. The CSR program contains four topical areas: embedded and hybrid systems, parallel and distributed operating systems, advanced execution systems and systems modeling and analysis. Projects may range in size from single investigators to teams of several investigators. The CSR program also accepts proposals for workshops and Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGERs).

Title: Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS)
Agency: NSF
Deadlines: Dec. 14, 2005; Second Wednesday in December annually
Summary: Computer and communication networks are among society's most important infrastructures. They are vital to the operation of many sectors of our society - from financial and manufacturing to education and healthcare - and they are engines for economic growth. However, with the existing network architecture stressed and reaching the limits of its capabilities, significant innovations are necessary to realize new applications and to meet current and future demands. The Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program envisions a future in which communication networks are available anywhere and any time, are accessible from a variety of devices, require minimal management overhead, can survive faults and attacks and can be entrusted with all types of communication traffic. To realize this vision, the NeTS program seeks to develop and sustain science and technology advances needed to: create next-generation networks; increase our fundamental understanding of large, complex, heterogeneous networks; and, continue the evolution of existing networks. The NeTS program also seeks to develop innovative curricular and educational materials that will help prepare the next generation of networking professionals. Proposers are encouraged to make bold assumptions about the future of networking; proposals should describe high impact projects that address novel network architectures, protocols and/or technologies. Proposals are solicited in networking broadly as well as in two targeted focus areas: I. Networking Broadly Defined (NBD). Funded projects will include a balance of theoretical and experimental research and/or education projects that target next-generation networks, expand our understanding of large, complex, heterogeneous networks and continue the evolution of existing networks. II. Programmable Wireless Networks (ProWiN). Funded projects will seek to exploit the capabilities of programmable radios to make more effective use of the frequency spectrum and to improve wireless network connectivity. III. Networking of Sensor Systems (NOSS). Funded projects will seek to create architectures, tools, algorithms and systems that make it easy to assemble and configure networks of sensor systems. A range of project types will be supported:
- Individual and Small Group projects.
- Large Group projects.
- Planning grants.
- Workshops in new and emerging areas.
- Infrastructure projects.
