Limited (Internal) Competition
NSF – Cyberinfrastructure Training, Education, Advancement, and Mentoring for Our 21st Century Workforce (CI-TEAM) Solicitation NSF 06-548

Program Description

The FY06 expanded CI-TEAM solicitation seeks two types of project proposals, both aimed at the preparation of a diverse, cyberinfrastructure-savvy science and engineering workforce.

Demonstration Project: Exploratory in nature and may be somewhat limited in scope and scale. These have the potential to serve as pathfinders to effective larger-scale implementation activities in the future. Awards at levels up to $250,000 total with durations of 1 to 2 years.

Implementation Project: Generally larger in scope or scale and draws on prior experience with the activities or the teams proposed. These are expected to deliver sustainable learning and workforce development activities that complement ongoing NSF investment in cyberinfrastructure. Awards at levels up to $1,000,000 total with durations of 2 to 3 years.
