Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability NSF-Wide Investment (SEES)

Colleagues, I received this note from a friend at NSF. It's about the wide range of activities being undertaken at NSF to support research around sustainability. Please visit the link if you are interested, and feel free to contact me if you wish to pursue some of these opportunities.

NSF has a sustainability initiative, inviting collaboration across disciplines.  The PIRE program, which supports international collaboration, has a sustainability focus this year.  The opportunity demonstrates the commitment at NSF to problem-centered, cross-disciplinary work.http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504707  The RCN could also be particularly helpful for those who have ongoing research projects people wish to coordinate.  Some of our more junior colleagues might find the Fellows program especially appropriate.
