Important Notice to Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 13-1, was issued on October 4, 2012 and is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 14, 2013. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 13-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Please be aware that significant changes have been made to the PAPPG to implement revised merit review criteria based on the National Science Board (NSB) report, National Science Foundation's Merit Review Criteria: Review and Revisions. While the two merit review criteria remain unchanged (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), guidance has been provided to clarify and improve the function of the criteria. Changes will affect the project summary and project description sections of proposals. Annual and final reports also will be affected.
A by-chapter summary of this and other significant changes is provided at the beginning of both the Grant Proposal Guide and the Award & Administration Guide.

SYNOPSIS
The Advanced Computational Reseach
(ACR) program focuses on the research and
enabling technologies needed to advance the state of the art
in high-end computing and computational science, and bring
advanced computational capabilities to bear on fundamental science
and engineering problems. Current focus areas include software
systems and tools, visualization and data handling, and scalable
algorithms. ACR also supports work on multidisciplinary analysis
and design, heterogeneous computing, web-based meta-computing,
computational steering and remote collaboration on high performance
computing applications. An area of growing interest is algorithm
scalabilty addressing such issues as latency-tolerant algorithms,
and research into means to handle complex multi-level memory
hierarchies.
The current Program Director for ACR is Xiaodong Zhang.
His home institution is the College of William and Mary, where
he is a professor of computer science. His area of expertise
is high performance computing and systems, with emphasis on memory
systems and distributed computing. While at NSF, however, he
intends to support excellent research in all areas as described
above.
