This is to let you know as soon as possible that the NSF CAREER/PECASE
Program Guidelines (NSF 97-87) are now available in ASCII version on the
NSF Web Site (http://www.nsf.gov) under "Documents Online"
(http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/1997/nsf9787/nsf9787.txt).
(This will be converted to html and made more attractive in the next few
days, and will be "linked in and to" as appropriate.)
Home Pages for CAREER and for PECASE have been created. These can be
accessed by clicking on 'Crosscutting Programs' on the NSF Main Menu
(http://www.nsf.gov), and then selecting either CAREER or PECASE.
Program announcements, press releases, and lists of awardees are available
there.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, the CAREER-FAQ is available there. You may find this
helpful in answering some of your questions about the CAREER and PECASE
programs.
More specific questions should be directed to Division CAREER Contacts,
listed in the CAREER/PECASE Program Guide.
For the Division of Information, Robotics and Intelligent Systems
(IRI-0502), the CAREER Contact is Dr. Howard Moraff <hmoraff@nsf.gov>,
703-306-1928.
Printed copies of the NSF CAREER/PECASE Program Guidelines (NSF 97-87) are
expected around April 15, and can be requested from <pubs@nsf.gov>.
Please note that there are two substantive changes to the program this
year.
** PROPOSAL DEADLINE is JULY 22, 1997.
This has been advanced from the October deadline of previous years. This
is a RECEIPT deadline.
** THE COVER SHEET OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY USING
FastLane.
This applies also to those submitting paper copies of the proposal. (For
those submitting the whole proposal electronically, of course, the cover
sheet is also submitted that way.)
Please address your questions about electronic submission to
<FastLane@nsf.gov> for assistance.
