Computational and Technology Research to conduct an integrated program in applied mathematical sciences, high performance computing and communications, information infrastructure, advanced energy projects research, and technology research, to address complex problems. Biological and Environmental Research to provide the information required to identify, understand, and anticipate the long-term health and environmental consequences of energy use and development, and to solve major problems in medicine, biology, and the environment. The sponsor provides support for activities in the field of microbiology, including support of lectureships, prizes, or courses related to the field, as well as for unusual publications or other activities in microbiology poorly supported by the usual government agencies. The sponsor does not offer conventional research, fellowship, or travel grants. Projects that explicitly focus on the role that microorganisms play in structuring or controlling complex systems are particularly encouraged.
Fellows serve as resources for teachers in science and mathematics instruction.
The sponsor invites proposals for investigations of system design approaches and principles addressing the requirements and characteristics of future high throughput, mixed traffic, highly mobile communication systems, with an emphasis on basic multidisciplinary integrative research. Visits may last from one day to two weeks. The sponsor supports basic and applied research in modeling and prediction of importance to naval operations. Proposals may be for fundamental, applied, or developmental support.
