Program Solicitation
National Science Foundation
Full Proposal Deadline(s) (due by 5 p.m. proposer's local time):
October 12, 2004
Program Title:
Enhancing the Mathematical Sciences Workforce in the 21st Century (EMSW21)
Synopsis of Program:
The long-range goal of the EMSW21 program is to increase the number of U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents who are well-prepared in the mathematical sciences and who pursue careers in the mathematical sciences and in other NSF-supported disciplines. EMSW21 builds on the Vertical Integration of Research and Education (VIGRE) program and now includes a broadened VIGRE activity, an additional component for Research Training Groups (RTG) in the Mathematical Sciences and an additional component for Mentoring through Critical Transition Points (MCTP) in the Mathematical Sciences.

Applicable Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number(s):
For EMSW21 proposals, participating students and postdoctoral associates must be citizens, nationals or permanent residents of the United States and its territories and possessions. No such restriction is placed on the Principal Investigators.
Traditionally, the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) has supported students and junior researchers through such long-standing mechanisms as individual investigator awards, Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), and postdoctoral fellowships. More recently, the DMS Grants for Vertical Integration of Research and Education (VIGRE) activity supported students at different stages of their careers through grants that were largely departmentally based. In many cases, however, students at a variety of levels can be also trained through the leadership of a smaller, more focused group of researchers, based in a sub-area of the mathematical sciences or linked by a multidisciplinary theme. Mentoring of students and junior researchers through critical transition points in the career pathway can also support and increase the number of well-prepared scientists in NSF-supported disciplines. For these reasons the VIGRE program will be expanded to include three distinct opportunities: a modified VIGRE activity, an additional component for Research Training Groups (RTG) in the Mathematical Sciences and an additional component for Mentoring through Critical Transition Points (MCTP) in the Mathematical Sciences. Those institutions applying for more than one category of this program must include a section on how the various projects will interact if more than one proposal is successful. Similarly those institutions already holding an EMSW21 grant must explain how the proposed projects will interact with the existing one.
Applicants must be explicit about goals for their proposal and supply data about past achievements and the improvements expected. This will be an integral part of the review process and is more fully discussed in the Proposal Preparation section below. It should be kept in mind that EMSW21 grants are for training and not the support of more general activities. Funding requested for non-training activities necessary for EMSW21 projects should be kept to a minimum and thoroughly justified in the Program Description.
Participants (undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral associates) supported with NSF funds in EMSW21 must be citizens, nationals or permanent residents of the United States and its territories and possessions. For purposes of this solicitation, a postdoctoral associate is defined as a mathematical scientist within two years of having received the Ph.D. degree, regardless of the title of the position held.
The long-range goal of the EMSW-21 activity is to increase the number of well-prepared U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents who pursue careers in the mathematical sciences and to broaden their background and perspective. The program is intended to help stimulate and implement permanent positive changes in education and training within the mathematical sciences in the U.S.
The focus of this component is enhancing the educational experience of all students and postdoctoral associates in a department (or departments). Broad faculty commitment and a team approach to enhancing learning are necessary. A principal element of VIGRE activity is increasing the interaction among undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and faculty members, whether pair-wise or collectively. Integrating research and education for graduate students and postdoctoral associates, involving undergraduates in substantial learning by discovery, and developing a team approach are keys to successful VIGRE projects. These goals can be accomplished in many ways and proposers should develop creative approaches that suit their circumstances.
The enhancement of educational experiences of all students should stem from an understanding of current patterns of student participation in the life of the department(s). All VIGRE proposals are required to include the outcome of a curriculum review and at least five years of data on past performance in attracting and retaining well-qualified U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents as graduate students and postdoctoral associates in the mathematical sciences, including women and those from underrepresented groups. Those departments who have had previous VIGRE awards should present data through the period of the award. Departments can use this information to describe its capacity to host a VIGRE project that will create a significant improvement in the educational experiences of their students and postdoctoral associates. These data may also inform recruitment and retention plans and mechanisms for assessment of the project.
In conjunction with NSF's goal of a globally-oriented science and engineering workforce, possibilities for international interaction are now included among VIGRE options. VIGRE student and postdoctoral associates and their mentors may participate in international research and education collaborative activities, including activities in other countries that are integrated into and benefit the overall VIGRE program at the institution. When incorporating this option in the program, organizers will need to give careful attention to the practical aspects of sending U.S. students abroad, including logistical arrangements, language and cultural issues, and administrative requirements and how effective mentoring will take place in the foreign host institution.
Graduate Traineeships. Graduate trainees, at the center of the training continuum, form a pivotal component of the integration. Their participation in VIGRE should result in
Involvement with research activities that include undergraduates, other graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and faculty members;
Graduate education that is both broad and deep;
Significant teaching experience; and
Communication skills appropriate for both expert and non-expert audiences.
Mentoring is a critical strategy for enhanced learning, preparing the graduate trainees to become successful researchers, communicators, and mentors. Opportunities such as internship experiences in industry, business, government laboratories, or other science and engineering departments can contribute to broadening the education program. Graduate trainees are expected to have a minimum of one year of supervised teaching, with at least one term in which the student has substantial responsibility for a class. Some element of traineeship activities should help students develop proficiency in the presentation of mathmatical research in both written and oral formats and the ability to place their research in context.
The VIGRE activity is meant to allow significant time for research, course work and related activities, rather than to follow traditional patterns of graduate support through teaching assistantships that require substantial time on the part of the student. A graduate trainee can receive up to 33 months of non-teaching support from a VIGRE activity. The institution is expected to bear the cost of a graduate trainee's required teaching. Departments should demonstrate how the traineeships will improve the quality of the education their graduate students receive. The traineeships are not meant to promote expansion of graduate programs and should not replace existing institutional funding of research fellowships or scholarships.
Undergraduate Experience. In this program solicitation, the term "substantial learning by discovery" includes all activities that introduce undergraduates to the thrill of discovery and generate within them excitement for the mathematical sciences. Examples of research experiences include: faculty directed projects, whether involving one or many undergraduates, either during part of the academic year or the summer; internships in industry, business, or government laboratories; and participation in interdisciplinary research teams. Such experiences are intended to involve students in the creative aspects of mathematics in a non-classroom setting. They are also expected to enhance the development of students' communication skills, with particular emphasis on the presentation of mathematical concepts in both written and oral contexts. In all cases, it is expected that these undergraduates receive mentoring to stimulate their further interest in the mathematical sciences.
Postdoctoral Associates. Effective VIGRE activities better prepare postdoctoral associates for their future careers, whether in academia, industry, or government. It is expected that at the end of the postdoctoral experience, each associate will have a well-defined independent research program, well-developed communication skills, a broad perspective of his or her field, and the ability to mentor.
The postdoctoral program can provide opportunities not commonly found in mathematical sciences education and training, including interdisciplinary research experiences in connection with other departments and programs; participation in international research programs; internships in business, industry, or government laboratories; or participation in research institute programs suitably aligned with the associate's research interests. Postdoctoral associates are expected to teach (on average) one course per term while in residence at the sponsoring university. Over the duration of the postdoctoral appointment, this teaching should encompass a diverse set of instructional experiences. Likewise, it is expected that each VIGRE postdoctoral associate will submit a research proposal to a funding agency at some time during the course of the postdoctoral appointment. Mentoring to ensure that all postdoctoral associates become successful researchers, communicators and mentors is a critical element of a VIGRE postdoctoral program, as is interaction of postdoctoral associates with undergraduate and/or graduate students.
The typical VIGRE postdoctoral appointment is for three years, beginning within 18 months of completion of the Ph.D. Exceptions to the 18 month restriction require approval of the cognizant program officer.
Organization and Management: VIGRE provides funds to support postdoctoral associate positions in order to provide enhanced opportunities for research and advanced training; graduate research traineeships; and undergraduate research experiences. VIGRE expects extended participation in the VIGRE program from the entire departmental faculty, particularly in mentoring participating students and postdoctoral associates. Thus, the numbers of students and postdoctoral associates should reflect the capability of the department to provide them with appropriate resources for their education and training and participation in research. VIGRE will provide limited faculty salary for the purpose of organizing and managing the program
A successful VIGRE project will help attain the program goal of motivating more students to pursue advanced education in the mathematical sciences. It will:
This component will provide groups of researchers with related research goals in the mathematical sciences with funds to foster research-based training and education. The groups may include researchers and students from different departments and institutions, but the research-based training and education activities must be based in the mathematical sciences. The RTGs are expected to vary in size, scope, proposed activities and in their plans for organization, participation, and operation, but will all have the following characteristics:
Proposals may include support requests for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, postdoctoral investigators, visitors and consultant services, travel, conferences, and workshops. Other budget items that are deemed to be essential to the success of the proposed activities may be proposed.
The group of a successful proposal will have collaborating faculty with a history of research accomplishments. This group should have a history of working with students and/or postdoctoral investigators, and they should have a good plan for recruiting students who are US citizens, nationals, or permanent residents into their program.
Increasing the number of US citizens, nationals, or permanent residents entering the scientific workplace is the goal of RTG, therefore a substantial plan for involving undergraduates in a research training program will increase the probability of obtaining funding. When used in reference to undergraduates, the word "research" should be given its broadest interpretation.
This component will provide a system of mentoring devoted to points of transitions in a mathematical sciences career path that are critical for success from undergraduate studies to the early years in a tenure track position. The program may be a comprehensive department effort or a more focused endeavor involving a few faculty mentors and aimed towards a specific transition point or group of points. However, department-wide programs that include components for undergraduates, graduates, and postdocs, may be more appropriate for the VIGRE component.
The goal is to encourage the participation of research oriented mathematicians in the nurturing of students and those new to research as they change the intensity of their involvement in university mathematics. The range of activities can vary from preparing postdocs for an academic or industrial career to preparing talented high school students to begin the study of serious mathematics at a university. The MCTP component welcomes proposals for activities addressing diversity issues in the mathematical sciences workforce. Covering the full spectrum of these activities is not required but having a significant component directed at undergraduates is imperative.
Successful proposals will be those that provide ways to increase the number and the quality of training of U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents entering the scientific workforce with strong mathematical training including the number of degrees awarded in the mathematical sciences. Examples of critical transition points and some associated activities are given below. The list is not meant to be exhaustive.
The MCTPs will vary in size, scope, proposed activities, and plans for organization, participation, and operation, but will all have the following characteristics:
The categories of proposers identified in the Grant Proposal Guide are eligible to submit proposals under this program announcement/solicitation.
Eligible Participants: Participating undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral associates supported with NSF funds in EMSW21 must be citizens, nationals or permanent residents of the United States and its territories and possessions. For purposes of this solicitation, a postdoctoral associate is defined as a mathematical scientist within two years of having received the Ph.D. degree, regardless of the title of the position held.

Budget: $10,000,000
Number of Awards: 3 to 5
Award size: $400,000 to $1,000,000 per year
Duration: 3 to 5 years
Each proposal for the VIGRE component should describe a five-year program. Some awards might be made for 3 or 4 years only. Five-year awards will initially fund the first three years of the project. Funding for the remaining two years is not guaranteed, and is contingent upon a satisfactory outcome of a comprehensive third-year assessment by NSF. Funding after the first year is always subject to availability of funds. VIGRE funds will provide awards in amounts from $400,000 to $1,000,000 per year (including direct and indirect costs) to support the main activities for a duration not to exceed five years. A modest amount of additional funding may be available to support optional activities. (Funding for these activities may also be requested as a supplement at a later date.) In determining the number and size of awards, NSF considers the advice of reviewers, and availability of funds. It is projected that awards resulting from the competition will be announced in March each year.

The complete text of the GPG is available electronically on the NSF Website at: https://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?gpg. Paper copies of the GPG may be obtained from the NSF Publications Clearinghouse, telephone (703) 292-7827 or by e-mail from firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cover Sheet. So that your proposal is properly identified, select the number for the EMSW21 program announcement from the pull-down list. From the ensuing screen, select the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the Infrastructure program. In the title of the project, include the label "EMSW21-VIGRE", "EMSW21-RTG" or "EMSW21-MCTP" depending on which component the proposal addresses.
Project Summary (1-page limit). Provide a description of the activities that would result if the project is funded including comments on its objectives, people to be supported, and intended impact. The project summary should include the following information: name of the host institution/organization and of any other institutions/organizations involved; the group(s) of people to be affected; number of people involved; number of summer weeks or academic year activity. The EMSW21 component should be identified at the top of the summary page. The project summary must clearly address in separate statements (within the one-page summary): (1) the intellectual merit of the proposed activity; and (2) the broader impacts resulting from the proposed activity.
Recall the long-range goal of the EMSW21 program as stated at the beginning of this solicitation. Goals set for any proposal submitted to this program must be consistent with the overall program goal and help NSF achieve it.
For example, one goal might be to increase the number of U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents earning undergraduate or graduate degrees by a specifically stated percentage. Other possibilities might be to keep the number of U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent resident degree recipients constant, but to increase the percentage of these who go to the next stage of a mathematical career or improve the quality of the career paths they choose. Another possible goal might be to increase the number of U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents who receive doctoral degrees and accept a postdoctoral fellowship at a Group I department. Any definition of success can be used here and becomes part of the proposal that will be reviewed.
The management plan submitted in the proposal must contain a description of the actions that will be taken to achieve the goals set in the assessment plan. One basis for judging proposals will be the goals set and the likelihood that the actions described in the management plan will achieve them.
The project description for the VIGRE Component must include the following items.
The proposed project should have a five-year duration. Particular attention must be paid to the following items in preparing the description:
- Introduction. Discuss the vision, scope, objectives, and anticipated impact of the program, at the local institution and beyond. (Not to exceed 2 pages)
- Outcome of curriculum review. Describe the nature of the curriculum review and any planned or implemented changes based on it. (Not to exceed 2 pages)
- Proposed VIGRE project. Provide a discussion of the programs envisioned for graduate trainees, undergraduate research experiences, and postdoctoral associates. Proposals should describe the proposed mechanisms for interaction among undergraduates, graduate trainees, postdoctoral associates, and faculty, and how these mechanisms will achieve the VIGRE goals. Proposals should also describe how education will be integrated with research and ways in which the project will broaden the experience of the students and postdoctoral associates involved and enhance their career opportunities. In addition to research activities and the broadening of course work, describe activities such as industrial internships or arrangements with government laboratories, businesses, or other academic departments and how these activities contribute to meeting the VIGRE goals. Describe teaching requirements for the graduate trainees and the postdoctoral associates. Include a discussion of adequate mentoring for each of these activities. Discuss the proposed means of improving communication skills at all levels. Finally, include a discussion of how the VIGRE activities might affect students and postdoctoral associates not supported on VIGRE funds. (Not to exceed 15 pages)
- Recruitment and Retention. Describe plans for the recruitment and retention of students and postdoctoral associates as. Plans to motivate more students to pursue an education in the mathematical sciences should also be discussed. Specific provisions for the recruitment of U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents as well as women and members of other groups under represented in the mathematical sciences must be included. (Not to exceed 2 pages.)
- Organization and Management Plan. Describe the plans, procedures, and personnel for the development and monitoring of all aspects of the project. In particular, discuss plans to ensure appropriate mentoring of students and postdoctoral associates, as well as the roles of the faculty involved. Provide evidence of the faculty commitment necessary for the implementation of the proposed program. If the project involves international collaborations, industrial internships or arrangements with government laboratories, businesses, or other departments, then the proposal should discuss existing arrangements, any plans for expanding these arrangements, and the personnel involved in managing these linkages. If the proposal describes a joint project between two or more departments at the same institution, describe organization and management plans for the necessary interactions between the departments. (Not to exceed 3 pages.)
- Performance Assessment Plan. Each proposal should describe a plan to assess the progress towards the achievement of the VIGRE goals. This plan should describe the quantitative and qualitative information that will be used to monitor the VIGRE activities and determine necessary mid-course corrections. The performance assessment can also help prepare VIGRE sites for the comprehensive third year review that will be conducted by NSF. (Not to exceed 5 pages.)
- Dissemination. The VIGRE program is intended to have a positive impact at the national level on the mathematical sciences community. Broad dissemination of VIGRE site activities, experiences, and insights is critical to achieve this. Each proposal must include a plan for this dissemination. It is important to disseminate both successful activities as well as information on less successful activities and mid-course corrections. (Not to exceed 2 pages)
- Results from Prior Support. Existing VIGRE departments should include a summary of what has been accomplished with a previous VIGRE award. This should include information on career paths of VIGRE-supported graduate students and postdocs. (Not to exceed 5 pages)
- Post-VIGRE plan. The VIGRE program is intended to help stimulate and implement permanent positive changes in education and training within the mathematical sciences in the U.S. Thus, it is critical that a VIGRE site adequately plan how to continue the pursuit of VIGRE goals when funding terminates. (Not to exceed 2 pages)
The Project Description for the RTG Component (not to exceed a total of 15 pages) must include:
- a description of the group's research program;
- a description of a significant group effort to train students and postdoctoral associates in the context of a vigorous research program;
- a description of any new activities (courses, seminars, workshops, special programs, etc.) that will result from this support;
- a list of the faculty members involved with the group, together with a description as to how each individual will contribute to the training efforts of the group;
- an assessment plan with clearly stated goals and information on past achievements and future ambitions as discussed at the start of this section on the Project Description;
- recruitment and selection plans for the undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral associates who will be members of the group. In particular, describe plans for the recruitment and selection of students and postdoctoral associates who are members of under represented groups;
- plans for how the group will function to provide collective mentoring of the students, and how the resources will be allocated;
- evidence of past success in training graduate students or postdocs, including names and degree dates.

- a description of any activities (courses, seminars, workshops, special programs, etc.) that will result from this support;
- a list of the faculty members involved with the project, together with a description as to how each individual will contribute to the project activities;
- an assessment plan with clearly stated goals and information on past achievements and future ambitions as discussed at the start of this section on the Project Description;
- recruitment and selection plans for the participants. In particular, plans for the recruitment and selection of participants who are members of under-represented groups should be included.
- plans for how the project will function to enhance the transition of the participants, and how the resources will be allocated.
References Cited. A listing of references to pertinent literature is desirable.
Current and Pending Support. This form should be provided for all persons listed as Senior Personnel (limited to 12 people).
Biographical Sketches. The basic GPG guidelines for biographical material apply; however, senior personnel are encouraged to include other activities or accomplishments relevant to the proposed activities. Senior personnel include the principal investigator; the co-principal investigators, if any have been designated; and other faculty/professionals who are anticipated to serve in the project. The number of biographical sketches is limited to 12.
Graduate Trainees: EMSW21 funds will provide $25,000 per student for eleven months each year, with an allowance for tuition and fees of up to $10,500 per year per student. Stipends may be supplemented during non-teaching periods with support from other sources. The institution must bear the cost of the one-year teaching requirement for EMSW21 graduate trainees.
Undergraduate Students: The stipends for summer projects are expected to be at least $1,000 per month for full-time research, with academic year stipends comparable on a pro rata basis.
Postdoctoral Associates: The typical EMSW21 postdoctoral associate will have a 3-year appointment, but this appointment should not go beyond the expiration date of the EMSW21 award. An EMSW21 postdoctoral appointment must not exceed 3 years. The full-time rate for the university appointment should be at least $45,000 for the academic year. Funds can be requested in the proposal to pay for half this academic year stipend up to a maximum of $25,000 for a full-time EMSW21 postdoctoral associate. Postdoctoral associates who receive any support from EMSW21 funds must be full-time postdoctoral associates when in residence and supported by EMSW21 funds for at least half the academic year. Each EMSW21 postdoctoral associate is expected to teach, on average, one course per term. In addition, the grant will provide summer support for two summers at the rate of $10,000 per summer. The grant can be charged for the fringe benefits on that portion of the stipend paid by the grant. The associate is expected to apply to an appropriate external funding agency for support for the third summer. Funding for the postdoctoral appointments should include a total of $9,000 for the three years to cover travel, equipment, and supplies.
Note that this support of students and postdoctoral associates is in the form of stipends and, therefore, is not subject to indirect costs. The cost of students, postdoctoral associates, and any fringe benefits should be entered as Participant Costs in Section F of the budget page.
Faculty and staff salary may be requested only for the purpose of organization and management of the program. EMSW21 is a program for student training; as such faculty and staff salary must be limited to a small fraction of the entire budget, with the vast majority of funds directed at student and postdoctoral support.
For the VIGRE component proposals must provide the following supplemental information:
(1) Data indicating: (a) the number of baccalaureate degrees in the mathematical sciences awarded by the relevant department(s) in each of the past five years; (b) the number of full-time Ph.D. students for each of the past five years; (c) a list of Ph.D. recipients during the past five years, along with each individual's citizenship status, baccalaureate institution, time-to-degree, post-Ph.D. placement, and thesis advisor; (d) the names of postdoctoral associates (e.g., holders of named instructorships, 2- or 3-year terminal assistant professors) during the past five years, their Ph.D. institutions, postdoctoral mentors, and post-appointment placements; (e) the dollar amount of non-teaching (i.e., research assistantship) support of graduate students supplied by the university for each of the past five years and the anticipated changes in university support of this kind in the event of an award; (f) the dollar amount of funding by federal agencies for REUs, for graduate students and for postdoctoral associates in each of the past five years; (g) the anticipated size of the graduate program should this award be received. This data must be broken down by gender and ethnicity and the number of students who are U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents. This information will provide baseline data to be used in subsequent performance assessments.
Existing VIGRE institutions should also include data for five years prior to the beginning of their existing award.
(2) Letters of commitment by the institution and other sources in support of the project. If industrial internships are planned, letters indicating the willingness of the industrial organization and of individual industrial mentors (if known) to participate should also be included. These documents should be scanned and uploaded into the FastLane supplementary documentation section.
For the RTG and the MCTP component you must include data spanning the preceding 5 years concerning classes of students to be affected should a grant be awarded. This data must be broken down by gender and ethnicity and the number of students who are U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents. So, for example, an EMSW21 proposal that involves graduate students must include such data for the entire graduate student population of the department. Similar data on undergraduate majors is required should that be a group addressed by the proposal.
Since the activities in RTG and MCTP grants can vary widely, it is not possible to be specific regarding the types of data desired. Nevertheless the discussion of the data required for a VIGRE proposal can be seen as an indication of the depth and breadth of what is wanted. Inadequate data or data that is poorly presented will be negatively interpreted in the review process. All the data for RTG and MCTP proposals cannot exceed two pages.
For the RTG and the MCTP component you may include:
Letters of Commitment. Signed letters of commitment documenting collaborative arrangements of significance to the proposal should be scanned and placed in this section. Letters may be relevant where the awardee and performing organizations are different, where faculty or facilities of more than one institution are to be employed, or where international activities are arranged. Letters of endorsement are not permitted.
Proposers are reminded to identify the program announcement/solicitation number (04-600) in the program announcement/solicitation block on the proposal Cover Sheet. Compliance with this requirement is critical to determining the relevant proposal processing guidelines. Failure to submit this information may delay processing.
Cost Sharing:
Cost sharing is not required in proposals submitted under this Program Solicitation.
Other Budgetary Limitations:
Award sizes will be as follows:
VIGRE component- $400,000 to $1,000,000 per year
RTG component- up to $500,000 per year

Proposals must be submitted by the following date(s):
Full Proposal Deadline(s) (due by 5 p.m. proposer's local time):
Proposers are required to prepare and submit all proposals for this announcement/solicitation through the FastLane system. Detailed instructions for proposal preparation and submission via FastLane are available at: https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/a1/newstan.htm. For FastLane user support, call the FastLane Help Desk at 1-800-673-6188 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. The FastLane Help Desk answers general technical questions related to the use of the FastLane system. Specific questions related to this program announcement/solicitation should be referred to the NSF program staff contact(s) listed in Section VIII of this announcement/solicitation.
Submission of Electronically Signed Cover Sheets. The Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) must electronically sign the proposal Cover Sheet to submit the required proposal certifications (see Chapter II, Section C of the Grant Proposal Guide for a listing of the certifications). The AOR must provide the required electronic certifications within five working days following the electronic submission of the proposal. Proposers are no longer required to provide a paper copy of the signed Proposal Cover Sheet to NSF. Further instructions regarding this process are available on the FastLane Website at: http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov
Reviews of proposals submitted to NSF are solicited from peers with expertise in the substantive area of the proposed research or education project. These reviewers are selected by Program Officers charged with the oversight of the review process. NSF invites the proposer to suggest, at the time of submission, the names of appropriate or inappropriate reviewers. Care is taken to ensure that reviewers have no conflicts with the proposer. Special efforts are made to recruit reviewers from non-academic institutions, minority-serving institutions, or adjacent disciplines to that principally addressed in the proposal.
The National Science Board approved revised criteria for evaluating proposals at its meeting on March 28, 1997 (NSB 97-72). All NSF proposals are evaluated through use of the two merit review criteria. In some instances, however, NSF will employ additional criteria as required to highlight the specific objectives of certain programs and activities.
On July 8, 2002, the NSF Director issued Important Notice 127, Implementation of new Grant Proposal Guide Requirements Related to the Broader Impacts Criterion. This Important Notice reinforces the importance of addressing both criteria in the preparation and review of all proposals submitted to NSF. NSF continues to strengthen its internal processes to ensure that both of the merit review criteria are addressed when making funding decisions.
In an effort to increase compliance with these requirements, the January 2002 issuance of the GPG incorporated revised proposal preparation guidelines relating to the development of the Project Summary and Project Description. Chapter II of the GPG specifies that Principal Investigators (PIs) must address both merit review criteria in separate statements within the one-page Project Summary. This chapter also reiterates that broader impacts resulting from the proposed project must be addressed in the Project Description and described as an integral part of the narrative.
Effective October 1, 2002, NSF will return without review proposals that do not separately address both merit review criteria within the Project Summary. It is believed that these changes to NSF proposal preparation and processing guidelines will more clearly articulate the importance of broader impacts to NSF-funded projects.
The two National Science Board approved merit review criteria are listed below (see the Grant Proposal Guide Chapter III.A for further information). The criteria include considerations that help define them. These considerations are suggestions and not all will apply to any given proposal. While proposers must address both merit review criteria, reviewers will be asked to address only those considerations that are relevant to the proposal being considered and for which he/she is qualified to make judgments.
NSF staff will give careful consideration to the following in making funding decisions:
EMSW21 proposals will be examined by external merit review. Reviewers will be asked to interpret the two basic NSF review criteria in the context of EMSW21. In addition, they will be asked to place emphasis on the following considerations:
-- The appropriateness and value of the experience for the participants and the nature of participation in these activities;
-- The quality of the environment in the department and the institution, including the record of the Principal Investigator and other senior personnel in the proposed activities, the facilities, and the professional development opportunities;
-- The quality and appropriateness of the goals for the proposal and the assessment plan;
-- Appropriateness of the recruitment and selection plan, including plans for involving participants from underrepresented groups;
-- Quality of plans for participant preparation and follow-through designed to promote continuation of participant interest and involvement in the mathematical sciences; and
-- The plans for managing the project and evaluating outcomes and the appropriateness of the budget.
All proposals are carefully reviewed by at least three other persons outside NSF who are experts in the particular field represented by the proposal. Proposals submitted in response to this announcement/solicitation will be reviewed by Ad Hoc and/or panel review.
Reviewers will be asked to formulate a recommendation to either support or decline each proposal. The Program Officer assigned to manage the proposal's review will consider the advice of reviewers and will formulate a recommendation.
A summary rating and accompanying narrative will be completed and submitted by each reviewer. In all cases, reviews are treated as confidential documents. Verbatim copies of reviews, excluding the names of the reviewers, are sent to the Principal Investigator/Project Director by the Program Director. In addition, the proposer will receive an explanation of the decision to award or decline funding.
In most cases, proposers will be contacted by the Program Officer after his or her recommendation to award or decline funding has been approved by the Division Director. This informal notification is not a guarantee of an eventual award.
NSF is striving to be able to tell proposers whether their proposals have been declined or recommended for funding within six months. The time interval begins on the closing date of an announcement/solicitation, or the date of proposal receipt, whichever is later. The interval ends when the Division Director accepts the Program Officer's recommendation.
In all cases, after programmatic approval has been obtained, the proposals recommended for funding will be forwarded to the Division of Grants and Agreements for review of business, financial, and policy implications and the processing and issuance of a grant or other agreement. Proposers are cautioned that only a Grants and Agreements Officer may make commitments, obligations or awards on behalf of NSF or authorize the expenditure of funds. No commitment on the part of NSF should be inferred from technical or budgetary discussions with a NSF Program Officer. A Principal Investigator or organization that makes financial or personnel commitments in the absence of a grant or cooperative agreement signed by the NSF Grants and Agreements Officer does so at their own risk.
Notification of the award is made to the submitting organization by a Grants Officer in the Division of Grants and Agreements. Organizations whose proposals are declined will be advised as promptly as possible by the cognizant NSF Program Division administering the program. Verbatim copies of reviews, not including the identity of the reviewer, will be provided automatically to the Principal Investigator. (See section VI.A. for additional information on the review process.)
An NSF award consists of: (1) the award letter, which includes any special provisions applicable to the award and any numbered amendments thereto; (2) the budget, which indicates the amounts, by categories of expense, on which NSF has based its support (or otherwise communicates any specific approvals or disapprovals of proposed expenditures); (3) the proposal referenced in the award letter; (4) the applicable award conditions, such as Grant General Conditions (NSF-GC-1); * or Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) Terms and Conditions * and (5) any announcement or other NSF issuance that may be incorporated by reference in the award letter. Cooperative agreement awards also are administered in accordance with NSF Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions (CA-1). Electronic mail notification is the preferred way to transmit NSF awards to organizations that have electronic mail capabilities and have requested such notification from the Division of Grants and Agreements.
*These documents may be accessed electronically on NSF's Website at https://www.nsf.gov/home/grants/grants_gac.htm. Paper copies may be obtained from the NSF Publications Clearinghouse, telephone (703) 292-7827 or by e-mail from firstname.lastname@example.com.
More comprehensive information on NSF Award Conditions is contained in the NSF Grant Policy Manual (GPM) Chapter II, available electronically on the NSF Website at https://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?gpm. The GPM is also for sale through the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office (GPO), Washington, DC 20402. The telephone number at GPO for subscription information is (202) 512-1800. The GPM may be ordered through the GPO Website at http://www.gpo.gov.
Special Award Conditions:
While each VIGRE component proposal should describe a five-year program, some awards may be made for only three years. When an award is made for five years, initial funding will only cover the first three years of the project. Additional funding for the remaining two years will be contingent upon the satisfactory outcome of a comprehensive third-year assessment by NSF. Funding is always subject to availability of funds.
In addition the following special conditions will apply: the cognizant NSF program official must be notified prior to any reallocation of funds in excess of $25,000, or any reallocation of funds granted as participant support costs.
For all multi-year grants (including both standard and continuing grants), the PI must submit an annual project report to the cognizant Program Officer at least 90 days before the end of the current budget period.
Within 90 days after the expiration of an award, the PI also is required to submit a final project report. Failure to provide final technical reports delays NSF review and processing of pending proposals for the PI and all Co-PIs. PIs should examine the formats of the required reports in advance to assure availability of required data.
PIs are required to use NSF's electronic project reporting system, available through FastLane, for preparation and submission of annual and final project reports. This system permits electronic submission and updating of project reports, including information on project participants (individual and organizational), activities and findings, publications, and other specific products and contributions. PIs will not be required to re-enter information previously provided, either with a proposal or in earlier updates using the electronic system.

BALTIMORE—The Maryland Food Bank, the largest charitable food provider in Maryland, today announced that Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Brandon Williams will serve as an official spokesman and ambassador for the organization. Williams will use his personal story of food insecurity to help bring awareness to the food bank and its carefully-crafted programs aimed at meeting the immediate needs of Marylanders while finding long term ways to reduce hunger statewide.
"As a kid chasing my dreams on the field and in the classroom, I experienced firsthand what it means to be hungry," Williams said. "By sharing my story, I hope to help magnify the valuable impact the Maryland Food Bank has on families in need across the state."
As a Maryland Food Bank ambassador, Williams will dedicate his time and influence in various ways, including promoting the Ravens' annual Food & Funds Drive on November 27 at M&T Bank Stadium. Williams will also share his personal story and speak publicly about the issue of hunger in Maryland on behalf of the organization. Last season, Williams donated more than 500 pounds of food to the Maryland Food Bank through the Ravens' annual food collection and plans to take his support even further this year.
"We are excited and grateful to have Brandon help spread the word about hunger in Maryland," said MFB Interim Chief Executive Officer Mathew Whelan. "We know his perspective is one that many Marylanders can relate to, and we look forward to working with him to bring attention to the more than 760,000 people in our state who don't know where their next meal may come from."
Drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2013, Williams is one of the NFL's premier defensive linemen following an impressive 2015 season that resulted in career highs in tackles (53), solo stops (35), and sacks (2) for the NFL's eighth-ranked defense (337.4 ypg).
About the Maryland Food Bank
The Maryland Food Bank is a nonprofit hunger-relief organization, leading the movement to end hunger throughout Maryland. For more than 35 years, the Maryland Food Bank has partnered with communities across the state to distribute food to individuals and families in need. Through carefully-crafted programs, the food bank aims to meet the immediate needs of Marylanders while simultaneously working to find long term ways to reduce hunger statewide. Currently distributing more than 120,000 meals per day — nearly 44 million meals annually — the Maryland Food Bank will continue to expand its efforts until hunger ends.

ROCHESTER — The second annual Mouse Ear Gathering that was scheduled for today has been canceled due to an anticipated low turnout.
The event, which is designed to gather as many mouse ear-wearing enthusiasts as possible, brought 230 people together last year for the inaugural gathering. According to event organizer Sharon Wingate, to set a world record, as is the aim, more than 250 people would need to come together to top the current Guinness Book of World Records holder.
"I think it would be great to get Rochester into the book," said Wingate.
Low pre-event sign-up numbers led to the cancellation of the event, but Wingate said she hopes to hold the event later in the year.
"We're thinking in the fall, maybe we will have a better turnout," she said. She explained she believes the busy weekends and warm weather have led to the lessened interest in this year's event, which includes a 5K race around the city.
The event, which hopes to break the world record, raises money for the Give Kids the World program, which works with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help kids who wish to travel to Disney World.
It assists in helping children with life-threatening and terminal illnesses, and their families, in their quest to visit the park.
To find out when the event will be rescheduled, head to countears.us which will be updated as a new date is decided upon.

This is the first outfit this year where I've felt properly summery. We had a gorgeously warm (almost hot!) sunny day last Sunday, and we went up to Bristol for a family gathering at my cousin's new house. I adore this two-tone shirt from Asos (I've had my eye on it for ages, then a 20% discount voucher comes along and of course I go nuts) BUT a 1.5 hour warm car journey doesn't do anything for a freshly-ironed cotton shirt. I got out at the other end and looked like I'd had the shirt scrunched up in my bag for the entire trip. But here it is freshly washed and ironed for a photo shoot - don't say I don't spoil ya!
I have to mention the gorgeous combination of white with pale blue, coral and tan: Absolutely summer-delicious. It was really only through practicality that I wore the cropped trousers (comfy and loose enough for travelling, good length for a warm day), but the blue against the coral is summer perfection in my eyes.
Finally - earrings... If you look closely you'll see that these are mismatching silver and rose gold 'moon' earrings. I'm really into asymmetric earrings right now - who says they have to match?!
Do you have any creased clothing nightmare stories to tell? Do share in the comments!

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--China-based Xinxiang Shenma Zhenghua Chemical, a subsidiary of Shenma Group, plans to permanently shut down its 50,000 tonne/year polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plant in Henan in light of losses, a company said on Monday.
The company has suffered steep losses for several months, and the management seems to have no intention of running the plant again, which was shut down since mid-July for maintenance, the source added.
Prior to the shutdown, the company had operated the plant at very low rates, the source said.
In general, the shutdown is unlikely to have a significant impact on the spot PVC market because there is sufficient supply in the local market, market sources said.

One of the best things you can ever do is to study your credit card statement each and every month. By doing so, you will be updated with the latest trends on your credit report and be sure that there are no rogue charges on your card. With the new rules coming into play, card issuers must now send detailed annual statement in addition to the monthly statement, which they usually send.
Payments allocation
On the credit card statement, a column will be allocated to the list of purchases you made for the month with the transaction and posting dates clearly shown.
In the right column, the cost of each purchase you make is clearly displayed and converted into pounds in areas where the transaction was made in foreign currency. Any loyalty points through your card provider or bank will be shown on the top section of the statement.
Summary box
This is the section of the credit card statement where the most important features of your credit cards will be displayed. It could also serve as a reminder to you on all the features your credit card is capable of and any extra charges that you may incur from using the card.
Disputed transactions
Supposing you have a problem with some items you bought, the first step you should take is to try resolving it amicably with the retailer and if they refuse or are unable to help you, then you can make do with the legal protections you have on your card.
Errors and fraud
If you suspect any fraudulent transaction or mistake on your statement, do not hesitate to contact the credit card company as quickly as you can so that they can freeze the suspected transaction.
It is a good practice to check your credit card statement every month. Look for illustrative examples on the statement, and do not hesitate to contact your credit card issuer, if you are uncertain of something.

Renton Collision Center
Review for Renton Collision Center
Cindy N. on 07/13/2013
Cindy said the staff seemed so concerned to do exactly what she wanted. She was impressed with the way the business treats all of the customers. The bumper looks wonderful. When throwing something in the back the business indented the leather seat. The business has committed to making it right. Additional damages were found delaying the vehicle for 2 days.

Are there any free libraries available for performing HTTP requests and responses?
Are there any free libraries available for performing HTTP requests and responses?
Ah I think libcurl might be useful. I only need it to get the content from a page. It's for a data harvester.
If you only need source you can save it to a file:This works with visual studio. What compiler do you use?Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <windows.h> #include <urlmon.h> /* Or link to the library via the means you normally would do */ #pragma comment( lib, "urlmon.lib" ) int main() { char url[] = "http://www.google.com"; char sourceFile[MAX_PATH]; HRESULT hr = URLDownloadToCacheFile(0, url, sourceFile, MAX_PATH, 0, 0); if ( hr == S_OK ) { /* Read the file at sourceFile */ printf( "Source located at: %s\n", sourceFile ); } return 0; }
[edit] Sorry, first code I posted was C++

Sorry. Maybe someone else can help.
Though libcurl is easy to work with. And if your 'data harvester' needs to get fancier, ie using cookie manipulation, multi threading, etc, it'll be easier to do it with libcurl than other high level functions, I think.
Moved to Networking/Device Communication forum.

Sure, either use libcurl as mentioned above or call `wget`

Octopus Research, Part 2
You can catch up on Part 1 here. Presenting Our Information:After we found all the facts we were looking for, I typed them up in simple sentences. "near the ocean floor" became "Octopuses live near the ocean floor." Then I cut each fact into strips so each student would have one fact to add to our nonfiction book. I don't have a lot of time, but it you do, you could have students write the sentences and practice some nonfiction writing. Each student had one sentence and one book page. We talked about how to make our picture match our words and got to work. The did an awesome job! Adding Text Features:Like I said, the timing of this project … Continued

The choice of inoculum is key for aerobic granular sludge process development
The aerobic granular sludge process optimization is linked to the interdependence of process, biofilm and microbial scales. Stable dense fast-settling granules composed of bacterial guilds for the simultaneous removal of carbonaceous, phosphorous and nitrogenous loads are desired. In this study, two activated inoculation sludges were used to start-up aerobic granular sludge bubble column sequencing batch reactors, one from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) that removes carbon biologically, nitrifies, and removes phosphorous chemically, and one from a WWTP removing all nutrients (C-P-N) biologically. The use of the former inoculum in reactors with low upflow aeration velocity (0.018 m s-1) resulted in the wash-out of slow-settling filamentous bulking granules, dominated by heterotrophic filamentous bacterial strains (Leptothrix or Sphaerotilus sp.), independently from pulse or anaerobic acetate-feeding modes. Granules with relatively good settling properties could only be obtained at high aeration velocity (0.040 m s-1), however the granule cores were still dominated by filamentous Flexibacter sp. Well settling aerobic granules were obtained at low aeration velocity with the inoculation sludge from the latter WWTP in combination with alternate anaerobic feeding and aerobic starvation, indicating that the inoculum was of crucial importance for a stable aerobic granular sludge process operated with low impact process parameters.
Keywords: Aerobic granules ; Inoculum quality ; Bulking ; Shear stress ; Molecular ecology
