Upper Amount $3,600,000
Amount Note There are three categories of proposals that may be submitted to this solicitation:

1. Single Investigator or Small Group projects -
These projects include one or more PIs at the same or different institutions, with project durations up to three years, and budgets of up to a maximum $500,000 total over all years. The majority of awards in this category are expected to have annual budgets of about $100,000 to $125,000 for three years. Approximately 70-95 of these awards are anticipated.

2. Team projects - These projects include two or more PIs at the same or different institutions, for durations of three or four years, with budgets ranging from $500,001 to $1,500,000 total over all years. These projects will support well-integrated investigations that cross topical areas described in this solicitation. Approximately 5 to 7 Team awards are anticipated.

3. Major Team projects - These projects include two or more PIs at the same or different institutions, for durations of three or four years, with budgets ranging from $500,000 to $900,000 per year. Awards will support well-integrated investigations of larger scope that cross topical areas described in this solicitation and/or extend beyond those topical areas to include related research and education challenges in other science and engineering fields. Awards supported at this level are expected to promise significant national or international impact. Principal investigators considering the submission of proposals in this category should consult a cognizant Program Director before submission. Up to two Major Team awards are anticipated.
Eligibility Applications may be submitted by universities and colleges; nonprofit and nonacademic organizations; for-profit organizations; and state and local governments.

Scientists, engineers, or educators in the United States and U.S. citizens may be eligible for support, provided that the individual is not employed by, or affiliated with, an organization.

NSF rarely provides support to foreign organizations. NSF will consider proposals for cooperative projects involving U.S. and foreign organizations, provided support is requested only for the U.S. portion of the collaborative effort.

NSF does not normally support research or education activities by scientists, engineers, or educators employed by federal agencies or Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs).

An investigator may participate as a PI, co-PI or Senior Personnel on at most two proposals but may participate in no more than one Single Investigator or Small Group proposal. In other words, if an investigator participates in two proposals, at least one of them must be a Team or a Major Team proposal. If an investigator fails to comply with these constraints, all proposals in which the investigator participates will be returned without review. It is therefore strongly advised that all investigators in multi-investigator proposals submitted in response to this solicitation check with their co-investigators to ensure that all are in compliance.

Abstract The Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program supports pioneering visions and transformative research agendas that explore the frontiers of networking, provide a better understanding of the dynamics of large-scale networks, expand networking capabilities and use, and help pave the way for the next generation Internet.

Since its inception, the NeTS program has continuously sought to ensure that its mission and scope is at the forefront of research. In previous years, the program identified core networking technologies worthy of further investigation, emphasized the importance of future Internet design, and encouraged groundbreaking research in broadly defined areas of networking. In FY 2008, the NeTS program is organized by research challenges, rather than core technologies, and emphasizes multi-disciplinary, holistic approaches that augment our knowledge about the design and deployment of robust, large-scale, heterogeneous networks.

This solicitation invites innovative, forward-looking research projects in the following five areas:

- Networking at the Edges (NEDG);
- Network Ecosystems (NECO);
- Aware Networking (ANET);
- Exploratory Networking (XPLR); and
- Future Internet Design (FIND)

Proposals may be submitted in one of the following three categories:

1. Small - projects with total budgets up to $450K and durations of up to three years (with maximum annual budgets of $150K).

2. Team - projects with total budgets up to $2.0M, and durations of up to four years (with maximum annual budgets of $500K).

3. Planning grants, workshops and other community building activities: Proposals in this category must be discussed with a NeTS program officer prior to submission. Planning grants will be funded at levels up to $100K per year for up to two years. Workshops in new or emerging areas in networking research and education will be funded at levels up to $50K for one year.
