Topics
Context for federal support NSF as a research partner Opportunities at NSF Positioning Writing proposals to NSF Some recent changes and implications Bad news/Good news Questions and discussion
Larger Societal Context
The world is unsettled Economies are in crisis Political systems are in gridlock Institutions are dysfunctional
and The global environment/ecology is
out-of-sync
Funding for "CC" Research
State support

*subject to change without
notice; note HR 933
passed on 3/25/13
Ironies, Practical Consequences
Highly uncertain times demand solid science (trust in science is high)
Need more than marginal science and advancements (problems are urgent)
Must be aggressive and creative (competition is strong)
CC Science is Relevant and Important
Fracking and other energy-related research
Climate change and consequences: regional droughts, wildfires, insect epidemics, agric production, carbon balance, recreation
Urbanization, land-use change Management of public lands
Importance of NSF
Only agency whose sole mission is to support basic research ("non-mission")
Funding opps are at maximum
? Programs are evolving ? Step changes are possible ? Requires involvement and awareness ? Competition is high
