Instrumentation Grants for Research in CISE Instrumentation Grants for Research in CISE provides support to groups with 2 to 5 participating projects for the purchase of research equipment, instrumentation, or software for research in CISE areas. For specific program information, see program announcement NSF 98-132 . Projects supported must be based upon a multidisciplinary research theme and organized around a diverse group of investigators from Ph. D.-granting institutions in the United States with appropriate research and teaching interests and expertise. For specific program information, see program announcement NSF 98-96 .
All institutions are eligible, with a limit of two proposals from each institution per year.
The TPES component will support research for methods and tools leading to the development of performance frameworks for modeling, measurement, analysis, evaluation, and prediction of performance of complex computing and communications systems, and of the applications executing on such systems. This includes programming models, new compiler and run-time technology, application composition environments, and debugging tools. Proposals to NSF from researchers at institutions in the United States are subject to standard NSF review procedures and will be processed by the CISE Directorate and by NSF's Directorate for Engineering. Proposals are accepted in all areas usually covered by the Directorate. For specific program information, see program announcement NSF 96-145 .
