Toward Defining a Broad Program Connecting to
Quarks/Cosmos Building on Existing Partnerships
Revolutionizing the way science is done through
advanced cyberinfrastructure. A basis for
restructuring the integration of international
research and education. Empowering Universities
in Research and Education Empowering teachers as
part of the research community Bringing
advanced cyberinfrastructure into the classroom
by using distributed infrastructure supported
for long times by Research programs. A true
symbiosis- MPS/CISE/EHR/INT

LHC and Global Infostructure US Agreement on 5
Principles

• The cost and complexity of 21st Century Science
  requires the creation of advanced and coherent
  global Infostructure
• The construction of a coherent Global
  Infostructure for Science requires definition and
  drivers from Global Applications (that will also
  communicate with each other)
• Further, forefront Information Technology must be
  incorporated into this Global Infostructure for
  the Applications to reach their full potential
  for changing the way science is done.
• LHC is a near term Global Application requiring
  advanced and un-invented Infostructure and is
  ahead in planning compared to many others.
• U.S. agencies must work together for effective
  U.S. participation on Global scale infostructure,
  and the successful execution of the LHC program
  in a 4-way agency partnership, with international
  cooperation in view.

Features Functional Demonstration Grids
Illustrates leadership in global grid
development, told in ways designed to reach a
large and important international
audience. Aligns project contributors and their
products (from different cultures) in a common
cause. Allows broader audience
(science/geology/biology) to be
contributors/testers. Serves as important
milestones in getting the LHC done. Provides
real world tests of new concept functionality
over 20 year timeframe. Points to what is
needed next. Thus, it is a very important
management tool.

NIST Abstract The science of particle beams is
rich and challenging. Particle beams are many
body systems with non-isotropic, non-thermal
distribution, exhibiting many collective
instabilities and self-organizing phenomena when
interacting with electromagnetic fields and
plasmas. Studies of these transitions from one
non-equilibrium state to another, has progressed
rapidly in recent years, but much remains to be
done. The impact of particle beam, or accelerator
science is extremely broad. Indeed, advances in
many branches of science such as the materials
sciences, nuclear science, elementary particle
science, to name but a few, are paced by advances
in accelerator science and technology. Much of
the work in these areas has come to reside in the
DoE National Laboratories. There is growing
realization that universities have a unique and
important role to play and that enhancing the
university role will result in significant
advances in accelerator science and development
and in their broad impact on other sciences. The
needs and opportunities are discussed herein.

FY 03 EPP Priorities

• Increase Funding for University Groups
• Support Ongoing Experiments
• Add Needed Funds to NSB Approved Activities
• All above based on peer review

21
Physics Fall Target Date

• The target date for proposal submissions to the
  Division of Physics that are competing for FY
  2004 funds is September 24, 2003.
• The above date does not apply to proposals sent
  to the Physics Division in response to
  Foundation-wide solicitations, such as the
  Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER July
  22, 2003) or Research Experiences for
  Undergraduates (REU) programs.
• There are two general merit review criteria
  approved by the National Science Board (NSB) and
  listed in the GPG (1) the intellectual merit of
  the proposed activity, and (2) the broader
  impacts resulting from the proposed activity. All
  proposals must separately address both of the
  merit review criteria in the Project Summary and
  should describe the broader impacts as an
  integral part of the narrative in the Project
  description.
• Please note that this is not a shift in the
  priorities or strategic vision of the Division.
  It is rather a call for greater effort in
  expressing the broader context of our work.

22
Summary

• We recognize the importance of doing LC RD
• We expect to put significantly more funds into LC
  RD in FY04
• We look forward to your next proposal(s)

Physics at the Information Frontier Program
Description This program provides support for
proposals in three subareas computational
physics, information intensive physics, and
quantum information and revolutionary computing.
Computational physics focuses on computational
problems in physics requiring significant
long-term code development, and/or medium to
large collaboratories involving physicists or
physicists interacting with applied
mathematicians and computer scientists.
Information intensive physics seeks to develop
rapid, secure and efficient access to physics
data stores rising from Petabytes (today) to
Exabytes (in 10 years) via heterogeneous and
distributed computing resources and networks of
varying capability and reliability. Quantum
information and revolutionary computing supports
proposals that continue to explore applications
of quantum mechanics to new computing paradigms
for physics.

• REPORT ON THE SEPTEMBER NEUTRINO AND
  SUBTERRANEAN SCIENCE WORKSHOP

• DECEMBER 2002 SUMMARY BOARD ON PHYSICS AND
  ASTRONOMY
• A deep underground laboratory can house a new
  generation of experiments that will advance our
  understanding of the fundamental properties of
  neutrinos and the forces that govern elementary
  particles, as well as shedding light on the
  nature of the dark matter that holds the Universe
  together. Recent discoveries about neutrinos, new
  ideas and technologies, and the scientific
  leadership that exists in the U.S., make the time
  ripe to build such a unique facility.

Revolutionizing Science and Engineering Through
Cyberinfrastructure Report of the National
Science FoundationBlue Ribbon Advisory Panel on
Cyberinfrastructure
http//www.cise.nsf.gov/evnt/reports/toc.htm Execu
tive Summary Excerpt Testimony from research
communities indicate that many contemporary
projects require effective federation of both
distributed resources (data and facilities) and
distributed, multidisciplinary expertise, and
that cyberinfrastructure is a key to making this
possible.... A few examples are the Network for
Earthquake Engineering Simulations (NEES), the
Space Physics and Aeronomy Research Collaboratory
(SPARC), the National Ecological Observatory
Network (NEON), the Grid Physics Network
(GriPhyN), the International Virtual Data Grid
Laboratory (iVDGL), and the High Energy Physics
Collaboratory for the ATLAS project
28
Report of the National Science FoundationBlue
Ribbon Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure
The Panels overarching recommendation is that
the National Science Foundation should establish
and lead a large-scale, interagency, and
internationally coordinated Advanced
Cyberinfrastructure Program (ACP) to create,
deploy, and apply cyberinfrastructure in ways
that radically empower all scientific and
engineering research and allied education.
