This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) describes opportunities available to CISE awardees to support the use of commercial cloud resources. NSF’s Cloud Access Program has established partnerships with commercial cloud service providers to provide awardees with cost-effective, flexible access to cloud-based resources with benefits such as no indirect cost for cloud computing resources resulting in significant savings, and automated updates on cloud credit use. This DCL aims to provide cloud computing resources to NSF-funded projects just-in-time as opposed to requiring PIs to budget for resources at the time of proposal submission, in the hopes of maximizing on the elasticity of the cloud and providing users with computing cycles when they need them. 

NeTS Potential Panelist Survey
We invite you to complete these surveys, which will be used to assist us in identifying potential panelists and ad hoc reviewers with expertise in wired or wireless networking for proposals submitted to the Computer and Network Systems (CNS) Core program or to other networking-related research solicitations. The information collected in these surveys is for internal NSF use only, and completing the surveys is voluntary. Responses are accepted on a rolling basis, and you may resubmit the survey in order to change or update information. Given the new academic year, we would also like to encourage you to forward these links to others, especially new faculty and faculty from underrepresented groups.

Beta test LaTeX samples for NSF research.gov submissions. An NSF working group has created an open source repository for collaboration on samples to use in the Research.gov Proposal Preparation system. The project is still evolving and the first version of the LaTeX samples are now available. Please note that these samples are not NSF-endorsed documents and are not official templates. These samples are not tested or supported by the NSF Research.gov development team. These LaTeX samples were created by a volunteer group of program officers. Output PDF files using dummy data were tested on the Research.gov demo site and uploads successfully. Samples were last tested in November 2021. You are welcome to try these, but it’s important to emphasize that this is not an official NSF release but rather the work by a volunteer group of program officers.

“Shattering siloed spectrum sharing mechanisms for future NRDZs” Workshop 
Date: November 16-17 
RSVP: https://forms.gle/MuDVohMzkdY6CRkT6 
More Information: http://www.cs.albany.edu/nrdz-ra/meetings/workshop2/ 
Details: National Radio Dynamic Zones (NRDZ) are being advocated for as a means to advance the state of wireless communications and to support the design of next generation wireless networks with practical, real-world, regional test sites. The utility of the radio spectrum depends on the harmonious coexistence of active communications systems, passive scientific systems, and orbital remote sensing systems. The state in spectrum coexistence mechanisms across these technologies is vastly different: from automated and measurement-driven spectrum allocation for commercial broadband to manual leases across scientific users, and disparate users are generally not aware of each other’s capabilities.

CISE Request for Information on Semiconductor Research and Education (NSF 21-112)
Date: Response Deadline September 30
The CISE directorate at NSF has just released a new Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) asking for input from members of the community who are directly engaged in, or might potentially benefit from, CISE related research and education in semiconductor and micro- and nano-electronics. This RFI takes the form of a survey form where we ask for specific information about how the community’s research and educational agenda would be enabled by the availability of new or different resources in this area. Given the diverse interests in the CISE community, and the broad reach of semiconductor, micro-, and nano-electronics, we are hoping for information from a wide variety of perspectives. Please take a few minutes and let us know how your research and educational activities intersect with these areas, and what challenges you see in this area. Also, please forward this DCL and RFI to other members of the community that you think would have valuable input.

CCRI Virtual Organization
The CISE Community Research Infrastructures program funds the creation and enhancement of infrastructures supporting the pursuit of focused research agendas across a variety of domains in computer and information science and engineering. These world-class infrastructures take many forms, from networking testbeds to emulation platforms to highly curated training datasets. The NSF also recently launched the Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure program supporting more expansive infrastructure projects requiring substantial facilities, equipment, hardware and software, and human capital. These investments expand the number and diversity of research infrastructure available to the CISE community, posing a potential challenge for researchers: how do I find an infrastructure that could enhance my future research?
To benefit the community further, the CCRI program launched the CCRI Virtual Organization (CCRI-VO). This project collects and consolidates information about the myriad research infrastructures supported by CCRI, and organizes that information on a central website established to help researchers identify and connect to infrastructures that can enable and facilitate future research efforts. On this site, a researcher can browse through profiles of different CCRI-funded efforts to see the resources that support specific CISE communities, or search the profiles by research area or other parameters to find the one most relevant to that individual’s interests. Each profile contains a description of that infrastructure and information on gaining access to that resource. Planned enhancements to the site include a reference list of computing research conducted using that infrastructure, and a library of key reports on computing research infrastructures and their benefits to the CISE community. The site will also list other research infrastructures related to CISE such as mid-scale research infrastructure projects associated with CISE to provide a comprehensive view. The project aims to raise awareness of the range and capabilities of the infrastructures available to CISE investigators, to avoid potential duplication of effort in the development of new infrastructures, and to assist researchers in leveraging these resources in proposed projects.

Research.Gov Collaborative Research Guidance
If you are submitting Separately Submitted Collaborative Proposals that include both RUI-eligible and non-RUI institutions: First select a relevant funding opportunity that accepts RUI proposals. The proposal title should include the “RUI:” designation, and it will be applied to all parts of the collaborative when the proposals are linked. The RUI certification(s) and Impact Statement(s) should be uploaded into the “Other Supplementary Documents” section by the Lead on the collaborative. NSF staff will correct the submitted proposal titles by removing the “RUI:” label from ineligible components of the collaborative before the proposal is assigned for review.

Dear Colleagues, 

Our special end-of-April newsletter includes the following topics: 

·         *New NextG Program* Resilient & Intelligent NextG Systems (RINGS), Proposal Deadline July 29 
·         *NeTS Request for Information* Request for Information on the Specific Needs for Datasets to Conduct Research on Computer and Network Systems, Responses due May 21

*New NextG Program* Resilient & Intelligent NextG Systems (RINGS) 
Date: Proposal Deadline July 29 
See: www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21581/nsf21581.htm & www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505904  
The RINGS program seeks to accelerate research in areas that will potentially have significant impact on emerging Next Generation (NextG) wireless and mobile communication, networking, sensing, and computing systems, along with global-scale services, with a focus on greatly improving the resiliency of such networked systems among other performance metrics. Modern communication devices, systems, and networks are expected to support a broad range of critical and essential services, incorporating computation, coordination, and intelligent decision making. Resiliency of such systems, which subsumes security, adaptability, and autonomy, will be a key driving factor for future NextG network systems. Resiliency in both design and operations ensures robust network and computing capabilities that exhibit graceful performance- and service-degradation with rapid adaptability under even extreme operating scenarios. The RINGS program seeks innovations to enhance both resiliency as well as performance across the various aspects of NextG communications, networking and computing systems. This program seeks to go beyond the current research portfolio within the individual participating directorates by simultaneously emphasizing gains in resiliency (through security, adaptability and/or autonomy) across all layers of the networking protocol and computation stacks as well as in throughput, latency, and connection density. 
In this program, NSF is partnering with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD R&E), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and a number of industry partners shown above. This program seeks to fund collaborative team research that transcends the traditional boundaries of individual disciplines to achieve the program goals.

NeTS Potential Panelist Availability Surveys
Please respond as soon as possible
We invite you to complete these surveys, which will be used to assist us in identifying potential panelists and ad hoc reviewers with expertise in wired or wireless networking for proposals submitted to the Computer and Network Systems (CNS) Core program or to other networking-related research solicitations. Please note that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, panels will be virtual. The information collected in these surveys is for internal NSF use only, and completing the surveys is voluntary.
