Rita Colwell: sea change at the NSF

If you had to choose one word to describe Rita Colwell, it would probably be ‘indefatigable’. A small woman who could easily pass for a decade younger than her 63 years, Colwell is renowned for her energy and ability to make things happen. These qualities should serve her well in her next job, as director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) — for which she awaits confirmation by the US Sen...

Looking at Software Sustainability and Productivity Challenges from NSF

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (ACI) (within the Directorate for Computer & Information Science, CISE) coordinates and supports the acquisition, development and provision of state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art cyberinfrastructure (CI) resources, tools and services essential to the conduct of 21st century science and engineering research and education. ACI supp...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) facilitate largescale identification of genomic variants that are associated with complex traits. However, susceptibility loci identified by GWAS so far generally account for a limited fraction of the genotypic variation in patient populations. Predictive models based on identified loci also have modest success in risk assessment and therefore are of limit...
