New Program at NSF

CISE has announced a new funding opportunity administered jointly with
the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE).  The
new program is called ICES (Interface between Computer Science and
Economics and Social Sciences).  You'll find the all the details about
ICES here: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503549.  Be
sure to read the whole solicitation and click through to the
non-exhaustive list of example topics as well.  ICES seeks to fund
interdisciplinary work at one particular boundary between computer
science and economics & social sciences.  As always with anything new at
NSF, there will be lots of questions.   Email CISE/CCF Program Director
Tracy Kimbrel (tkimbrel@nsf.gov), SBE/SES Program Director Nancy Lutz
(nlutz@nsf.gov), CISE/IIS Program Director Sven Koenig
(skoenig@nsf.gov), or CISE/CNS Program Director Darleen Fisher
(dlfisher@nsf.gov) and we will do our best to answer the questions.  If
you're wondering "Is my project suitable for ICES?" be sure to include a
one or two page description with your email because that will help us
with the answer. The deadline for submitting proposals to ICES is
October 5, 2010.
