Subject: RIDIR: 2016 NSF Cyberinfrastructure Competition

NSF has published a new solicitation for the 2016 and 2017 competitions for RIDIR (Resource Implementations for Data Intensive Research in the SBE Sciences), NSF15-602 http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505168. 

The RIDIR Program supports the development of user-friendly large-scale next-generation data resources and relevant analytic techniques to advance fundamental research in SBE areas of study. Successful proposals describe products that have significant impacts by enabling new types of data-intensive research. These products should be fundamental and generalizable rather than narrow and specific. Database proposals should define and identify a resource that can be used to answer scientific questions that could not otherwise be addressed. Analytic tool development proposals should be directed towards the same goal of enabling researchers to address new and significant SBE science questions. Investigators are encouraged to think broadly and to create a vision that extends intellectually to more than one SBE area of research and potentially linking to other fields of science as well. 

It is anticipated that successful proposals may extend well beyond a single discipline. The relevance of the proposed work should be of interest to a broad intellectual community by virtue of its potential or actual generalizability or extendibility.

The deadline for proposals for the 2016 competition is February 29, 2016. Investigators are directed to the solicitation (NSF15-602) for the specific requirements of proposals to be submitted to the RIDIR competition.

Three RIDIR projects were funded in the 2015 RIDIR competition, with awards for each project ranging from $985K to $2.1M.
