Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Full Proposal Deadline Date: June 14, 2021 The Broadening Participation in Computing Program (BPC) aims to significantly increase the number of U.S. citizens and permanent residents receiving post-secondary degrees in the computing disciplines and to encourage the participation of other underrepresented groups in the discipline. It seeks to engage the computing community to develop and implement innovative methods, frameworks, and strategies to improve the recruitment and retention of these students through undergraduate and graduate degrees. Projects that target stages of the academic pipeline through faculty ranks are encouraged. […]

The following is an announcement from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Software and Hardware Foundations Program Directors Nina Amla, Anindya Banerjee, and Sol Greenspan announcing an up to $87M (over several years) new funding opportunity called Principles and Practice of Scalable Systems (PPoSS).  The solicitation cites many articles, including the Computing Community Consortium‘s 2012″21st Century Computer Architecture,”  as examples that “have outlined the need for computational systems that enable emerging, large-scale applications without the benefit of Dennard scaling (the “post-Moore’s Law” era).” Dear Colleagues, We would like to wish you a very happy new year! New Program Announcement: The Principles and Practice of Scalable Systems (PPoSS) program is to support a […]

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is seeking applications for funding to conduct research and technology development leading to the introduction into practice of new and innovative tools to: Process large-scale computer networks for digital evidence in a forensically sound manner that preserves the probative value of the evidence that the computer network may contain; Process mobile devices voluntarily surrendered to law enforcement by witnesses or victims of an alleged crime, which will discriminate between data that are germane to that crime and data that are not, and which will only collect data that are germane; or Automatically detect children in […]

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) recently posted a new solicitation for the Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies (Cyberlearning) program. The following is from the Cyberlearning website. The purpose of the Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies program is to integrate opportunities offered by emerging technologies with advances in what is known about how people learn to advance three interconnected thrusts: Innovation: inventing and improving next-generation genres (types) of learning technologies, identifying new means of using technology for fostering and assessing learning, and proposing new ways of integrating learning technologies with each other and into learning environments to foster and assess learning; Advancing understanding of how people learn […]
