38-1 Cyber-Enabled Sustainability
Science and Engineering (CyberSEES)
(NSF)
The Cyber-Enabled Sustainability Science
and Engineering (CyberSEES) program
aims to advance interdisciplinary research
in which the science and engineering of
sustainability are enabled by new advances
in computing, and where computational
innovation is grounded in the context of
sustainability problems. Computational
approaches play a central role in understanding and advancing sustainability.
CyberSEES supports research on all sustainability topics that depend on advances
in computational areas including optimization, modeling, simulation, prediction, and
inference; large-scale data management
and analytics; advanced sensing techniques; human computer interaction and
social computing; infrastructure design,
control and management; and intelligent
systems and decision-making. Additionally, the widespread, intensive use of computing technologies also introduces
sustainability challenges and motivates
new approaches across the lifecycle of
technology design and use. NSF 13-500

Corps Teams grant is to give the project
team access to resources to help determine the readiness to transition technology developed by previously-funded or
currently-funded NSF projects. The outcomes of I-Corps Teams projects will be
threefold: 1) a clear go or no go decision
regarding viability of products and services, 2) should the decision be to move
the effort forward, a transition plan for
those projects to move forward, and 3) a
technology demonstration for potential
partners. NSF 12-602

38-9 The Educational Component of
the National Cooperative Geologic
Mapping Program (DOI)
The primary objective of the EDMAP
component of the NCGMP is to train the
next generation of geologic mappers. To
do this NCGMP provides funds for graduate and selected undergraduate students in
academic research projects that involve
geologic mapping as a major component.
Through these cooperative agreements
NCGMP hopes to expand the research
and educational capacity of academic programs that teach earth science students
the techniques of geologic mapping and
field data analysis. Another important
goal is to increase the level of communication between the Nation’s geologic surveys (both State Geological Surveys and
the USGS) and geologic mappers in the
academic community. We hope that this
improved communication will have two
results: 1) that the academic mapping
community will learn more about the
societal needs that drive geologic mapping projects at the USGS and State Geologic Surveys, and 2) more geologic maps
produced in academia will eventually be
made available to the public.

38-11 Dear Colleague: Sustainable
Chemistry, Engineering, and Materials
(SusChEM) (NSF)
The purpose of this Dear Colleague Letter
(DCL) is to draw your attention to the
opportunity for research and education in
the chemical sciences and engineering
related to sustainable synthesis, use, and
reuse of chemicals and materials under
the initiative of Sustainable Chemistry,
Engineering, and Materials (SusChEM).
For FY 2013, the participating divisions
are the Division of Chemistry (CHE); the
Division of Chemical, Bioengineering,
Environmental, and Transport Systems
(CBET); and the Division of Materials
Research (DMR). The Materials Processing and Manufacturing program in the
Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) will also
participate, and the Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) will collaborate on proposals with aspects relevant to the
geosciences, such as harvesting of elements and geological processes pertinent
to the development or fate of technological materials. SusChEM is a new emphasis area in the family of programs in the
NSF-wide Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability (SEES) initiative. As with all SEES programs,
SusChEM proposals must advance science, engineering, and education to
inform societal actions aimed at environmental and economic sustainability. Proposals are expected to take a systemsbased approach to understanding, predicting, and reacting to change. Proposals
should be submitted within the existing
submission window of the relevant program and under a title that begins with
‘SusChEM:. Proposals are welcome from
either multiple or single investigators.
Interdisciplinary and Collaborative proposals among Principal Investigators
(PIs) are encouraged and should be submitted to the most relevant program in
one division while identifying possible
co-review programs in the other divisions. NSF 12-097

38-13 East Asia and Pacific Summer
Institutes for U.S. Graduate Students
(EAPSI) (NSF)
NSF and selected foreign counterpart science and technology agencies sponsor
international research institutes for US
graduate students in seven East Asia and
Pacific locations at times set by the counterpart agencies between June and August
each year. These Summer Institutes
(EAPSI) operate similarly and the
research visits to a particular location take
place at the same time. Although applicants apply individually to participate in a
Summer Institute, awardees become part
of the cohort for each location. Applicants
must propose a location, host scientist,
and a research project that is appropriate
for the host site and duration of the international visit. An EAPSI award provides
U.S. graduate students in science, engineering, and education: 1) first-hand
research experiences in Australia, China,
Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore or
Taiwan; 2) an introduction to the science,
science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and 3) an
orientation to the society, culture and language. It is expected that EAPSI awards
will help students initiate professional
relationships to enable future collaboration with foreign counterparts. NSF 12498
