TRAVEL GRANTS FOR TRAVEL TO IFIP'S WORLD COMPUTER CONGRESS 2000
A review panel consisting of members of the
Association of Computing Machinery and IEEE Computer Society is accepting
applications for partial travel support for U.S. citizens to the International Federation of
Information Processing's World Computer Congress 2000, which will be held in Beijing,
China, August 21-25. Pending NSF approval of ACM's grant request, the
travel grants will cover economy-class airfare up to a $1,700 maximum per
attendee. Applications are due by April 15, 2000.
Contact Fred Aronson at ACM for details, at aronson@acm.org.
DARPA SOLICITATION FOR BIOFUTURES PROGRAM
"The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has a new program called 'Fundamental Research at the [Bio:Info:Micro] Interface'. The goal of the program is to create interdisciplinary teams of researchers drawn from the fields of biology, information technology and microsystems technology and who are primarily from institutions of higher education...The information technology or [INFO] component of the program includes, but is not limited to, the disciplines contributing to the development of theories, algorithms, models and simulations, and scalable parallel and distributed systems." The deadline for proposals is March 31, 2000.

CISE SOLICITATION FOR EDUCATION INNOVATION PROGRAM
The NSF's Division of Experimental and Integrative Activities has an April 25, 2000, deadline for proposals for its Education Innovation (EI) Program. "The objective of this program is to stimulate innovative educational activities at the undergraduate level in the Computer Science and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) disciplines by encouraging the transfer of research results into the undergraduate curriculum. The program supports the design, development, testing and dissemination of innovative approaches for increasing the effectiveness of the undergraduate learning experience by integrating research results into undergraduate courses and curricula. The research may be ongoing or completed and may be drawn from any research project in the computer and information sciences and engineering fields."
