The National Science Foundation has released the program solicitation
"Sustainable Digital Data Preservation and Access Network Partners
(DataNet)" (Program Solicitation NSF 07-601).

The specific goals of this program are to support the development of a
small set of full-scale exemplars of new types of digital data
preservation and access organizations that (1) combine expertise in
library and archival sciences; computer, computational, and information
sciences; cyberinfrastructure; and domain sciences and engineering, (2)
develop models for economic and technological sustainability over
multiple decades, (3) engage at the frontiers of science and engineering
research and education as an information resource, an object of
research, and a research entity, and (4) work cooperatively and in
coordination to create a functional data network with revolutionary new
capabilities for information access, use, and integration without regard
to conventional barriers such as data type and format, discipline or
subject area, and time and place.

An informational meeting for prospective Principal Investigators will be
held from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Tuesday, 6 November 2007, in Room
595 National Science Foundation Stafford II Building in Arlington,
Virginia. The informational meeting will be webcast for remote viewing
and archived for delayed viewing. Details will be posted on the Office
of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI) website (http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=OCI)
