[Sigsti-l] NASA research funding opportunity : NOI due June 30th

[Joe Hourcle]

Sorry for the short notice -- this one almost snuck by me.

The Notice of Intent deadline for the 'Advanced Information Systems 
Research' is June 30th.  They've also had their budget cut in half:

(I say 'deadline', but from what I understand of the process, it's still 
possible to file a proposal without a NOI ... contact the program manager 
in the solicitation if you're interested, but timing's a problem)

AISR tends to focus on unproven research that has the potential to be 
applied to multiple scientific fields.  It's not direct physcal science, 
but research that would help the scientists do better science.  Issues in 
data finding, storage and mining qualifies, as well as knowledge systems, 
data visualization, etc.

For an examples of what sort of things have gotten funding, see the list 
of current projects presented at their last workshop:
