THIS MESSAGE IS BEING SENT ON BEHALF OF CHRISTINE KING:
Dear Deans, Department Heads, and
The National Science Foundation’s
next deadline for the Active Nanostructures and Nanosystems (ANN) program is
November 15. This program supports proposals for collaborative research
and education in the area of active nanostructures, nanosystems, and the
long-term societal change associated with these innovations. The full program
announcement may be found at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2006/nsf06595/nsf06595.htm.
For this competition, Purdue may
submit two Nanoscale
Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT)
proposals as lead organization, and two Nanoscale Exploratory Research
(NER) proposals as lead organization, with a third NER allowed that addresses
“Societal and Educational Issues Associated with Long-term Research Science and
Engineering Advances.” Internal letters of intent and preproposals (using
templates on the website below) should clearly identify the type of proposal
being submitted.
Internal deadlines are as
follows:
Monday,
September 11: Letters of Intent due to the OVPR.
Monday, October
2: Preproposals due to the
OVPR.
Monday, October
9: Preproposal rankings due to the
OVPR.
Please note:
Letters of intent, preproposals, and rankings to the OVPR should be e-mailed to
OVPRlimited@purdue.edu.
Purdue's recently-revised limited
submission policy and template for letters of intent may be found at http://dagon.admin.purdue.edu/cgi-bin/lsid.cgi.
For any case in which the number of internal letters of intent received is no
more than the number of proposals allowed by the sponsor, the OVPR will notify
the PI that an internal preproposal will be
unnecessary.
We appreciate your sharing this
information with your faculty. Please let me know if you have questions
about the limited submission process or this
competition.
Cris
