A Message from CISE Leadership

Dear CISE community.

I am very excited to announce the new multi-agency Expanding AI Innovation through Capacity Building and Partnerships (ExpandAI)<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMjEuNjcwMDc0OTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2JldGEubnNmLmdvdi9mdW5kaW5nL29wcG9ydHVuaXRpZXMvZXhwYW5kaW5nLWFpLWlubm92YXRpb24tdGhyb3VnaC1jYXBhY2l0eS1idWlsZGluZz91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkifQ.y2NOoibv8xYa0Z9v9-44XjgFemlsRSqNdAKrRvC72Zs/s/381559306/br/148642979370-l> solicitation. The goal of ExpandAI is to significantly broaden the participation of Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) in artificial intelligence (AI) research, education, and workforce development through capacity development projects and partnerships within the NSF-led National AI Research Institutes<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMjEuNjcwMDc0OTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2JldGEubnNmLmdvdi9uZXdzL25zZi1wYXJ0bmVyc2hpcHMtZXhwYW5kLW5hdGlvbmFsLWFpLXJlc2VhcmNoP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSJ9.wNh34KJfRCiq982Xk6Q54NbAiFQCc-gdBFKjx7SedIs/s/381559306/br/148642979370-l> ecosystem. This funding is a great opportunity for MSIs to lead research that helps expand their AI capacity, so please get the word out to your networks and colleagues.
Second, a reminder about opportunities for grant supplements related to Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC).  In particular, principal investigators with current CISE Core awards with approved Broadening Participation in Computing plans (BPC plans) can apply for supplemental funding in order to allow projects to extend the reach of their current BPC activities or to coordinate and institutionalize BPC activities within their department or similar unit. The deadline for requesting these supplements is January 19, 2023. Please consider submitting one of these supplement requests, and also please help us get the word out within your networks and communities that might benefit from it. Please see Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) (nsf21571) | NSF - National Science Foundation<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMjEuNjcwMDc0OTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5uc2YuZ292L3B1YnMvMjAyMS9uc2YyMTU3MS9uc2YyMTU3MS5wZGY_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5In0.nImYs64hjnGD-SUkR-nPDKAQauznn6dFa86Nxgxr09I/s/381559306/br/148642979370-l> for details on how to apply for a Supplement.

Last but not least, I want to share that CISE will be hosting its Virtual Fall Advisory Committee meeting on December 16, 2022. Event details and agenda are forthcoming, but please save the date on your calendars.

Best,

Participant Support Costs: An Overview of Dos and Don’ts

Please join Research Administrators INC for a 90-minute session focusing on Participant Support Costs.  These costs require special treatment and clear communication throughout the award life cycle.

This NCURA webinar will help you understand what participant support costs are and why they are special.  It will: (i) address the rules and regulations governing participant support costs; (ii) talk about how to budget, set up, and manage participant support costs; and (iii) touch on audit considerations. So, if there have been instances where you have struggled to confidently validate the allowability of participant support cost or if you could simply use a refresher on the fundamentals, then this Participant Support Costs webinar is for you.

This webinar will provide you with the knowledge and fundamental framework needed to manage participant support costs going forward.
WHEN:   Tuesday, December 6th from Noon – 1:30PM (90 minutes)
To attend this webinar, please register here<http://research.ucr.edu/OrApps/Org/OrgEvents/Default.aspx?g=inc>.  (The ZOOM invite will be emailed to all registrants on the morning of the event.)
