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.

America's Media Makers: Production Grants
Sponsor: National Foundation for the Arts and the HumanitiesNational Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)Division of Public Programs
Amount: $100,000
View Record
http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/AmMediaMakers_production.html
Sponsor Type Federal, U.S.
Deadline Note The information in this record is based on the most current sponsor literature. The most recent deadline for this program was January 23, 2008. The record will be updated when new information becomes available.
Amount $100,000
Upper Amount $800,000
Amount Note Awards last for one to three years and may range from $100,000 to $800,000. In rare circumstances, awards may exceed this amount, depending on the scope, complexity, and reach of the production.

Chairman's special awards of up to $1 million are available for large-scale collaborative multiformat projects of exceptionally wide reach to the public.
Successful applicants will be awarded a grant in outright funds, matching funds, or a combination of the two, depending on the applicant's preference and the availability of funds.
Cost sharing is not required. NEH, however, is rarely able to support the full costs of projects approved for funding. In most cases, America's Media Makers grants cover no more than 50 to 60 percent of project costs. Cost sharing includes cash contributions to the project by the applicant and third parties, as well as in-kind contributions, such as donated goods and services. Cost sharing also includes gift money raised to release federal matching funds.
A grant from NEH for one stage of a project does not commit the endowment to continued support.
Under certain circumstances, a nonprofit organization may sponsor an independent producer, filmmaker or group who, without tax-exempt status, is not eligible to apply directly for a grant from NEH. The sponsoring organization, also called an umbrella organization, may provide the project with accounting services, office and editing facilities, fundraising assistance, and other administrative support, but may not carry out the project activities itself. Under this arrangement the umbrella organization is considered the grantee of record and assumes all attendant responsibilities of a grantee.
NEH will allow an umbrella organization to recover its costs for administering the award by charging an administrative fee of five percent of total project costs. This administrative fee may be charged instead of negotiating an indirect cost rate with NEH.
Eligibility Any U.S. nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt status is eligible, as are state and local governmental agencies. Individuals are not eligible to apply. Independent producers who wish to apply for NEH funding are advised to seek an eligible organization to sponsor the project and submit the application to NEH.
NEH generally does not award grants to other federal entities or to applicants whose projects are so closely intertwined with a federal entity that the project takes on characteristics of the federal entity's own authorized activities. This does not preclude applicants from using grant funds from, or sites and materials controlled by, other federal entities in their projects.

Abstract
The National Endowment for the Humanities' (NEHs) grants for America's Media Makers support media projects that explore significant events, figures, or developments in the humanities and offer creative and new approaches to humanities content. America's Media Makers projects promote active exploration and engagement for broad public audiences in history, literature, archaeology, art history, comparative religion, philosophy, and other fields of the humanities. NEH supports the development of humanities content and interactivity that excites, informs, and stirs thoughtful reflection and urges applicants to consider more than one format for presenting humanities ideas to the public. Grants for America's Media Makers should enable greater audience engagement with the humanities, encourage dialogue and discussion, and foster discovery-based learning across the age spectrum.

Production grants support the preparation of a program for distribution. Applicants must submit a script for a radio or television program or a prototype or storyboard for a digital media project that demonstrates a solid command of the humanities ideas and scholarship about the subject. The script for a radio or television program or prototype or storyboard for a digital media project should also show how the narrative elements, visual approach, and interactive design combine to present the humanities ideas. Applicants must have consulted with the appropriate scholars about the project and obtained their commitment as advisers. Finally, applicants must have recruited the media team, including at a minimum the producer, director, writer, and, for a digital media project, the interactive designer.

Abstract
The "Interactive Art" category of the Prix Ars Electronica cyber-arts competition is dedicated to interactive works in all forms and formats, from installations to performances. At the top of the agenda is artistic quality in the development and design of the interaction as well as a harmonious dialog between the content level and the interaction level - that is, the inherent principles of interaction and the interfaces that implement them. Of particular interest is the socio-political relevance of the interaction as manifested by its innate potential to expand the scope of human action. Jurors are looking forward to encountering innovative technological concepts blended with superbly effective design (usability).
This category is open to all types of current interactive works in any form, including installation, performance, audience participation, network projects, telepresence and -communication, virtual reality/ augmented reality and innovative interfaces.
Projects must have already been realized to the extent that they may be judged on the basis of documentation. Criteria for judging the works include the form of interaction, interface design, new applications, technical innovations, originality and the significant role of the computer for the interaction.

Abstract As part of the digital humanities initiative, these grants support national or regional training programs on approaches in humanities computing. Through these programs, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars using digital technology in their research and broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology applications relevant to the humanities.

The goals of the institutes for advanced topics in the digital humanities are the following:
1. Bring together humanities scholars and digital technology specialists from different disciplines to share ideas and methods that advance humanities research through the use of digital technologies
2. Reflect on, interpret, and analyze new digital media, multimedia, and text-based computing technologies and integrate these into humanities research
3. Prepare current and future generations of humanities scholars to design, develop, and use cyber-based tools and environments for research
4. Devise new and creative uses for technology that offer valuable models that can be applied specifically to research in the humanities

MEDIA.ART.RESEARCH AWARD

In conjunction with the 2008 Prix Ars Electronica, the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research will be awarding a prize honoring an outstanding theoretical work on the subject of “Interactive Artforms.”
Prix Ars Electronica Media.Art.Research Award wants to further scholarly investigation of media artforms that have not yet gotten established in the context of art museums or in the commercial art world, and of processual, conceptual and interactive art that assumes subversive, situational and committed positions at the interface of art, technology and society.

This new theory prize (prize money: 5,000 euros) is designed to accord due recognition to the important work being done by art historians and media scholars in the field of media art, which has emerged over the last two decades as an innovative, wide-ranging discipline in its own right. The great diversity and tremendous current relevance of this branch of artistic production call for theoretical and scholarly reflection on the historical significance of such artworks, on how to mediate audiences’ encounters with them and on their conservation. The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research has been pursuing precisely these tasks since its founding in Linz in 2005. The theory prize competition is meant to promote an international discourse centering on the theories, methodologies and standards of media art. Essential to this agenda is the necessity of defining terms and developing a theoretical framework in a way that affirms pluralism and emphatically rejects any sort of final categorization of such artforms.

The Leonardo Awards Program

Leonardo/ISAST, established in 1982, serves the international art community by providing channels of communication for artists, scholars, technologists, scientists, educators, students and others interested in the arts, with an emphasis on documenting the voices of artists all over the world who use science and developing technologies in their work. As part of our mission of encouraging the innovative presentation of technology-based arts, Leonardo/ISAST recognizes artists and organizations interested in the use of new media in contemporary artistic expression through cash awards given via the Leonardo Awards Program.


Leonardo-EMS Award for Excellence
Leonardo/ISAST is pleased to announce that Leonardo/OLATS and the Electroacoustic Music Studies Network (EMS Network) have awarded the Leonardo-EMS Award for Excellence to criticalartware (Jon Cates, Ben Syverson and Jon Satrom) for their paper “likn: A Flexible Platform for Information and Metadata Exchange” which they presented at the Electroacoustic Music Studies Conference in Beijing, October 2006. Read the full announcement.

Frank J. Malina Leonardo Award for Lifetime Achievement
When kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank J. Malina founded the journal Leonardo in 1968, he saw the need for an international channel of communication between artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. Following his vision, the Frank J. Malina Leonardo Award for Lifetime Achievement recognizes eminent artists who, through a lifetime of work, have achieved a synthesis of contemporary art, science and technology. Winners include Abraham Palatnik, Gyorgy Kepes, Nicolas Schöffer, Max Bill and Takis.

Leonardo Global Crossings Award
The Leonardo Global Crossings Award recognizes the contribution of artists and scholars from culturally diverse communities worldwide. The focus of this award is global pluralism within the emerging art-science-technology field. The award is part of the Leonardo Global Crossings Special Project, funded in part by the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. The First Leonardo Global Crossings Award was awarded in 2005 to Abdel Ghany Kenawy and Amal Kenawy, of Cairo, Egypt, a brother-sister team who have been collaborating on large-scale installations since 1997.

The Leonardo Award for Excellence
The Leonardo Award for Excellence recognizes excellence in an article published in the journal Leonardo. Excellence is defined as originality, rigor of thought, clarity of expression and effective presentation. The Leonardo Award for Excellence was originally established by chemist and inventor Myron Coler and publisher Robert Maxwell. Leonardo/ISAST has continued the tradition. Recipients include Rudolf Arnheim, Otto Piene, Charles Ames, Frieda Stahl, Donna Cox, George Gessert, Janet Saad-Cook, Alvin Curran, Karen O'Rourke, Eduardo Kac, Hubert Duprat and Christian Besson, José Carlos Casado and Harkaitz Cano, Bill Seaman, Arthur Elsenaar and Remko Scha, Steve Mann and criticalartware.

Leonardo New Horizons Award for Innovation
Leonardo/ISAST recognizes the challenges that artists face as they strive for exposure and recognition. These challenges are amplified for artists working with new media and new techniques---especially for those artists who are pushing the boundaries of the integration of art and technology. The LEONARDO New Horizons Award for Innovation was begun to recognize new and emerging artists for innovation in new media. Evelyn Edelson-Rosenberg, Jean-Marc Philippe, Jaroslav Belik, Peter Callas, Patrick Boyd, Christian Schiess, I Wayan Sadra, Kitsou Dubois, Gregory Barsamian, Graham Harwood, Ewen Chardronett and Critical Art Ensemble have received this award.

The Makepeace Tsao Leonardo Award
This Leonardo award is designed to recognize organizations and artists' groups that have increased public awareness of art forms involving science and technology, particularly through the sponsoring or curating of exhibitions. The award's namesake is Makepeace Tsao, biochemist, professor, gallery owner and artist who was a member of the Leonardo Editorial Board and an adviser to and benefactor of Leonardo/ISAST for 15 years. The first Makepeace Tsao Leonardo Award was awarded in 1998 to La Cité des arts et des nouvelles technologies de Montréal.



Details about the Leonardo Awards program
All awards in the Leonardo Awards Program are done by the nomination process. Candidates for each award are nominated by members of Leonardo/ISAST. Recipients are then decided by juries assembled by the Leonardo Prizes and Awards Chair.
