The purpose of this solicitation is to provide a national computational infrastructure that will address the mission stated above. NSF envisions an Advanced Computational Infrastructure consisting of one or more leading-edge sites together with cooperating partners. Funding levels have not yet been set and will depend on expected overall funding levels for NSF at the time of award. The number of awards will be based on the quality and potential impact of the proposed partnerships. Each partnership will be funded through a single cooperative agreement, specifying the level of support for each partner.
