MMI Community Opportunities

The Oceanographic Technology and Interdisciplinary Coordination (OTIC) Program supports a broad range of research and technology development activities. Unsolicited proposals are accepted for instrumentation development that has broad applicability to ocean science research projects and that enhance observational, experimental or analytical capabilities of the ocean science research community.

A flood of new information, from whole-genome sequences to detailed structural information to inventories of earth's biota to greater appreciation of the importance of lateral gene transfer in shaping evolutionary history, is transforming 21st century biology. Along with comparative data on morphology, fossils, development, behavior, and interactions of all forms of life on earth, these new data streams make even more critical the need for an organizing evolutionary context.

The Decision Making Under Uncertainty (DMUU) collaborative groups competition offers awards to support teams of researchers who will advance fundamental understanding of decision making under uncertainty for climate change and related long-term environmental risks. The focus of these collaborative groups will be to generate fundamental new knowledge as well as information and tools that decision makers will find useful to help them incorporate climate change and related long-term environmental risks in their decision making.

CISE’s Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF) supports research and education projects that develop new knowledge in three core programs:

* The Algorithmic Foundations program;

* The Communications and Information Foundations program; and

* The Software and Hardware Foundations program.

Proposers are invited to submit proposals in three project classes, which are defined as follows:

* Small Projects - up to $500,000 total budget with durations up to three years;

The Advances in Biological Informatics (ABI) program seeks to encourage new approaches to the analysis and dissemination of biological knowledge for the benefit of both the scientific community and the broader public. The ABI program is especially interested in the development of  informatics tools and resources that have the potential to advance, or transform, research in biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences at the National Science Foundation.

 

The Northeast Regional Association for Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (NERACOOS) Board of Directors is seeking an Executive Director to lead the organization under the guidance of the board.

NERACOOS has been established to network and expand the existing observing and prediction capacities of a multitude of institutions and agencies throughout New England and Maritime Canada.

The location will be one of the coastal New England states; the exact location will be partially dependent on the individual selected to fill the position.

Dates:

1. Submission deadline: 15 Jan. 2009
2. Notification of acceptance: 15 Mar. 2009
3. Camera ready paper due: 15 Apr. 2009
