Advanced Technological Education (ATE)

With an emphasis on two-year colleges, the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program focuses on the education of technicians for the high-technology fields that drive our nation's economy. The program involves partnerships between academic institutions and employers to promote improvement in the education of science and engineering technicians at the undergraduate and secondary school levels. The ATE program supports curriculum development; professional development of college faculty and secondary school teachers; career pathways to two-year colleges from secondary schools and from two-year colleges to four-year institutions; and other activities. A secondary goal is articulation between two-year and four-year programs for K-12 prospective teachers that focus on technological education. The program also invites proposals focusing on applied research relating to technician education.

INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM (NSF)

The Advanced Networking Infrastructure (ANI) Program, through its Internet Technologies activity, supports the goal of accelerating R&D in strategic technologies. The purpose is to improve the operational or functional capabilities of the Internet and related collateral efforts for the benefit of the research and education community. Areas of support include but are not limited to complex network monitoring, problem detection and resolution mechanisms; development of automated and advanced network tools, networked applications tools or network-based middleware; and creation of usable and widely deployable networking applications that promote collaborative research and information sharing.

Scope: Proposed projects should enhance knowledge in unresolved Internet-related areas of discovery and development. The issues facing networking vary widely in complexity and scale, a fact which is expected to be reflected in proposed projects. In some instances, single investigator projects will be appropriate; for others, it may be necessary to mount a large team effort. While the full range is eligible for consideration, all proposals must provide a convincing rationale and justification for the level of effort proposed. Most awards are anticipated to fall between $50,000-$300,000 per year for up to three years. A request for projects ranging in size up to $1 million per year for up to three years will be considered if exceptional circumstances justify it. In all cases, the project must be designed so that its impact can be felt during the next two- to- five years. Cost sharing is encouraged. The amount of available funding per year for this activity is expected to be up to $5 million.
