Opportunities for Support


Fellowship Opportunities that might match DIMACS visitors

This *summarizes* some of the sources of fellowships, postdocs, sabbatical support, etc that I have found and might be suitable to DIMACS visitors. It is meant to be complete, but it simply is not.

These are not completely screened for applicability. If you know of other programs, please send me enough info to share with others: Name, a way to contact, brief description of program, who qualifies.


NSF

To get the complete NSF documents, send email to
stisserv@nsf.gov
and includes message lines such as
get nsf9310
for each "File" you want.
Better yet, you can search the NSF files yourself by
gopher stis.nsf.gov
or open a Mosaic URL to:
gopher://stis.nsf.gov/1
Instead of relying on this, also contact:

Bruce Barnes, Acting Division Director, CCR (703)306-1910, bbarnes@nsf.gov

John Cherniavsky, Special Projects group in CISE, (703)306-1980 jchernia@nsf.gov

Ann Boyle, Div of Mathematics Research in MPS (703)306-1875 aboyle@nsf.gov

Mike Steuerwalt, Div of Mathematics Research in MPS (703) 306-1873 msteuerw@nsf.gov

Spud Bradley, INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM in Education and Human Resources Division (703) 306-1614 jbradley@nsf.gov

These are people who are familiar with DIMACS; Your could describe your interests and get their help directing you to specific program directors or calls for proposals.
