4. The NSF has announced an awards competition for a new program titled High Performance Computing System Acquisition: Toward a Petascale Computing Environment for Science and Engineering. The university is eligible to submit two proposals, and UT research administrators have already designated a partnership between the university and Oak Ridge National Laboratory to submit one of the two. Any UT researcher interested in submitting a proposal to the program should review the NSF solicitation and contact Arlene Garrison (garrisosn@utk.edu, 865-974-6410), UT assistant vice president for research, at once.
Preproposals for ALL internal competition should follow the requirements of the internal announcement and should be submitted electronically to Arlene Garrison (garrison@utk.edu) and her assistant, Barbara Craddock (craddock@utk.edu). Contact the UT Office of Research at 865-974-6410 with any questions.
