Welcome to 2010 - the Year of Research 2.0!
We would like to wish the thousands of MyNetResearch members a Happy and Prosperous New Year. As 2009 recedes into history, we at MyNetResearch are reflecting on what was an exciting and eventful year for Research 2.0.

Research 2.0 is represented by Web 2.0-enabled collaborative platforms like MyNetResearch. From a standing start, MyNetResearch and similar platforms now have tens of thousands of members who have transitioned from the old way of conducting research to the more efficient and effective online approach. MyNetResearch is now home to over 12,000 users, who conduct their research, find collaborators, and share knowledge every single day.

The Innovators and Early Adopters have spoken and now the Majorities have begun to transition to the new research paradigm. Within a few years, it will be inconceivable to conduct research the old way, using email and a small number of local colleagues.

We welcome you to the new global research paradigm and are celebrating the new year with a Premium Membership Sale. For a limited time, you can buy a Premium Membership for up to 50% off our regular prices. Resolve to accomplish your research goals this year using the advanced MyNetResearch platform. Login and save on Premium Memberships.

Grants and More Grants
For those faculty interested in grants, take a look at these two interesting grant proposals:

(1) Operations Research  (OR) .

National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced a new Grant Competition - From the RFP:

"The Operation Research program supports fundamental research leading to the creation of innovative mathematical models, analysis, and algorithms for optimal or near optimal decision-making, applicable to the design and operation of manufacturing, service and other complex systems. In addition to the traditional areas of Operations Research which includes discrete and continuous optimization as well as stochastic modeling and analysis, new research thrusts include simulation optimization and self-optimizing systems that can observe, learn, and adapt to changing environments."

(2) Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation  (CDI)

National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced a new Grant Competition - From the RFP:

Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) is NSF’s bold five-year initiative to create revolutionary science and engineering research outcomes made possible by innovations and advances in computational thinking.  Computational thinking is defined comprehensively to encompass computational concepts, methods, models, algorithms, and tools.   Applied in challenging science and engineering research and education contexts, computational thinking promises a profound impact on the Nation’s ability to generate and apply new knowledge.  Collectively, CDI research outcomes are expected to produce paradigm shifts in our understanding of a wide range of science and engineering phenomena and sociotechnical innovations that create new wealth and enhance the national quality of life. 

CDI seeks ambitious, transformative, multidisciplinary research proposals within or across the following three thematic areas:  

• From Data to Knowledge: enhancing human cognition and generating new knowledge from a wealth of heterogeneous digital data;
• Understanding Complexity in Natural, Built, and Social Systems: deriving fundamental insights on systems comprising multiple interacting elements;  and
• Virtual Organizations: enhancing discovery and innovation by bringing people and resources together across institutional, geographical and cultural boundaries. 

$36 million will fund 30 grants. The key dates are:
