NSF DEADLINES IN JANUARY

RESEARCH INITIATION AWARDS: January 15
     These awards go to individuals who have not previously
been principal investigators on federal grants.  An RIA award
provides a maximum of $60,000 over two years.  The proposal must
include a statement promising substantial institutional support.

RESEARCH PLANNING GRANTS: January 15
CAREER ADVANCEMENT AWARDS: January 15
     Research planning grants provide funds to a woman who has
not been a principal investigator on a federal research grant
to prepare an NSF research proposal.  Each grant provides a
maximum of $18,000 for one year.  Career advancement awards
provide a maximum of $50,000 for one year to expand research
opportunities for women whose careers are still developing,
possibly to acquire expertise in a new field.  For further
information, call (202) 357-7456.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM: January 16
     This program provides postdoctoral research associateships
in computational science and engineering at research institu-
tions with access to high performance computing systems.  The
applicant submits a proposal together with a host institution
and a named principal investigator who will serve as the
applicant's adivsor.  The host institution must match NSF
support equally.  For further information call (202) 357-7727.

The National Science Foundation has just established STIS, the
Science and Technology Information System, which provides
electronic access to NSF publications.  STIS allows the user to
search the full text of a publication and to obtain a copy
electronically.  There is no charge for connect time, and no
need to register for a password.  On the Internet, use the
command "telnet stis.nsf.gov" or "telnet 128.150.195.40".
Otherwise, use the dial-in lines (202) 357-0359 or (202)
357-0360 with even parity, seven data bits, at full duplex,
with a VT100 emulator.  At the "login" prompt, log in as user
"public".  STIS will ask you for your name, your address, and a
personal ID of eight or fewer letters.
