GENERAL INFORMATION

Program Title: CISE Research Resources (CISE-RR)

Synopsis of Program: This program is designed to increase the capability
and capacity to carry out basic research in information technology at
U.S. institutions. The program supports the acquisition and/or
development of advanced resources for research and integrated
research/education activities. Resources may include research equipment,
instrumentation, software, data repositories or services. Resources
supported under this program are those generally not supported by other
programs, because of cost, complexity, level of shared use or other
reasons. The Program has three parts:

* CISE Instrumentation. Grants for the acquisition and purchase of
  research resources in areas of science or engineering supported in the
  CISE Directorate. These research resources should be required for at
  least two research projects and no more than four research projects.

* Collaborative Research Resources [no awards in FY2001]. Grants to
  support the establishment, enhancement, and operation of major resources
  for multi-investigator, synergistic research or integrated
  research/education. Awards may be for activities solely within a single
  academic department, activities drawing from several departments in a
  single institution, and activities spanning several different
  institutions.

* Distributed Research Resources. Grants for the establishment and
  maintenance of unique, geograpically distributed resources that, once
  established, can be accessed remotely by CISE researchers around the
  country.

In each of these programs, interdisciplinary activities are strongly
encouraged, but emphasis should be on advancing knowledge and increasing
capacity for research in areas of science and engineering supported by
CISE. Women, minorities, persons with disabilities, minority
institutions and researchers in EPSCoR jurisdictions are strongly
encouraged to submit proposals.
