Cyberinfrastructure Training, Education, Advancement, and Mentoring for Our 21st Century Workforce (CI-TEAM) NSF 10-532

Internal Competition Completed

Principal Investigators Selected:

  • Gail Keenan, College of Nursing

Program Summary

The CI-TEAM supports projects that position the national science and engineering community to engage in integrated research and education activities promoting, leveraging and utilizing cyberinfrastructure systems, tools and services. CI-TEAM awards will prepare current and future generations of scientists, engineers, and educators to design and develop as well as adopt and deploy, cyber-based tools and environments for research and learning, both formal and informal. CI-TEAMS will also expand and enhance participation in cyberinfrastructure science and engineering activities of diverse groups of people and organizations with particular emphasis on the inclusion of traditionally underrepresented individuals, institutions.

Applicants can submit one of three types of proposals: 

  • Demonstration Project: Exploratory in nature and may be somewhat limited in scope and scale. These have the potential to serve as exemplars 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.
  • Diffusion Project: Expected to engage broad national audiences with research results, resources, models, and/or technologies. Implementation or Diffusion Projects 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.

Institutional limit: UIC can submit one proposal as lead institution. There is no limit on the number of proposals UIC can participate on as a subawardee.

PI limit: Principal Investigators (PIs), co-PIs, other senior personnel or investigators involved in FY05, FY06, or FY07-08 CI-TEAM Demonstration Projects funded by NSF are eligible to submit Demonstration, Implementation or Diffusion Projects to this competition. FY05, FY06, or FY07-08 CI-TEAM grants are not a prerequisite for submission to this CI-TEAM competition in either category.
