Title: Dear Colleague Letter NSF 08-085 Date: 10/28/08 Dear Colleague, The purpose of this letter is to inform the mathematical sciences community that the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) currently is not accepting Vertical Integration in Research and Education (VIGRE) proposals. The VIGRE program is under review by a National Academy of Sciences committee and DMS is suspending the VIGRE program pending the outcome of that review. Please see the Revision Note in the relevant solicitation NSF 05-595.  VIGRE is one of three components of the DMS workforce program Enhancing the Mathematical Sciences Workforce for the 21st Century (EMSW21). DMS continues to welcome proposals addressing the other components of EMSW21: Research Training Groups (RTG) and Mentoring through Critical Transition Points MCTP). Please consult the DMS webpage for the full range of workforce training opportunities. Sincerely, Peter March Director, Division of Mathematical Sciences National Science Foundation
