Please note the following:

Grants.gov and Adobe Reader - Use Adobe Reader 8.1.3 Only

Grants.gov retired all PureEdge proposal packages effective Thursday,
March 5th.  All proposals submitted to Grants.gov will now use Adobe
form packages. Adobe will release the latest version of their Adobe
Reader software version 9.1 on March 11, 2009. Adobe has also scheduled
the release of version 8.1.4, on March 18, 2009. 

Although Grants.gov allows three versions of Adobe for submissions, all
Clemson users should be using Adobe Reader 8.1.3 to download, view,
and/or enter data in Grants.gov proposal packages until further notice.
This version allows less errors upon submission than 9.0 or 8.1.2.

Please do not upgrade to other versions of Adobe Reader if you plan to
download, open, and/or enter data in a Grants.gov proposal package. If
you have already downloaded a newer version, please delete that version
and download version 8.1.3. Additional information and a link to
download can be found at

The NSF Division of Physics invites research proposals in the area of
Plasma Physics. The plasma physics program jointly with DoE funds
research in the fundamental physics of plasmas. Research areas include
plasma turbulence and shocks, turbulent and nonlocal, collisional
transport with and without strong magnetic fields, non-neutral plasmas,
cold plasmas, strongly-coupled and dusty plasmas, laser-plasma
interactions, ultra-short pulse and/or ultra-intense laser plasma
interactions, high-energy-density plasmas, and low temperature plasmas.

The Division of Materials Research has reissued a call for support of
national research facilities. The program supports the operation of
national user facilities: research facilities with specialized
instrumentation available to the scientific research community in
general and the materials research community in particular. These
facilities provide unique research capabilities that can be located at
only a few highly specialized laboratories in the nation. They include
facilities and resources for research using high magnetic fields,
ultraviolet and x-ray synchrotron radiation, neutron scattering, and
nanofabrication. Only 2 awards have been made in the program during the
past six years with significant price tags ($14 million in 2006 and $31
million in 2003), so the timing of this reissue and the Recovery Act
funding are oddly coincidental. Eligibility is unrestricted. More
information regarding PD 05-1743 is available at:
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5359

gm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5359> . 

The NSF Lower Atmospheric Observing Facilities Program consists of
planning, budgeting, coordination, and oversight of multi-user national
facilities that are sponsored by NSF for the geosciences research
community. Geosciences research often requires specialized facilities,
instrumentation and field support services to carry out scientific field
work that is needed to understand the complex, interdependent
geophysical processes, often covering remote areas of the globe. In
addition to sponsoring the facilities, LAOF provides allocation of pool
funding for approved facility deployments. Proposals may be submitted at
anytime. Eligibility is unrestricted. More information regarding PD
