21st Annual NMU Programming Contest

21st Annual NMU Programming Contest

Students are invited to attend The Twenty-First Annual Northern Michigan University Invitational Programming Contest to be held on Saturday 28 March 2020 from 12:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. on the campus of Northern Michigan University (Marquette Co, MI).  Lunch will be served at 11:00 A.M. Dinner will be served immediately following the contest.

Twenty-One years ago, the computer science students at NMU thought it might be a good idea to hold a contest every spring to provide additional practice for the ACM contest held in the fall. The format of this contest is strongly based on the ACM model.

There is no entrance fee for your students to compete in this competition.  The contest, the fun, the food, and everything else are all free! 

Please visit the event website at http://philos.nmu.edu/NMUCONTEST21 .  A list of rules has been posted, and more information will be added to the site when it becomes available. There is no restriction on grad student participation; all registered students are welcome to compete.  However, grad student teams are ranked separately from undergrad teams.

Register by Thursday March 19 at

National Science Foundation (NSF) Statistics Research, Analysis & Data Visualization Opportunities – Reminder

https://zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/NSF-NCSES-2019-0001 and https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/NSF-NCSES-2019-0002

The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) — part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) — is the world’s premier source for data and information on the science and engineering enterprise. NCSES is one of only thirteen principal statistical agencies in the U.S. federal government.

This is an open opportunity to participants in a wide variety of fields including, but not limited to, Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Business Management, Communications and Graphic Design, Computer Sciences, Computational Biology, Demography, Economics, Engineering, Epidemiology, Finance, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Marketing, Mathematics and Statistics, Neurosciences, Physics, and Public Policy.

Participants may have the opportunity to be part of a data collection program, to search for and analyze key trends and patterns, and to visualize their analyses in novel and informative ways. Both independently, and as part of a team effort, participants may help define specific projects that will advance the Center’s ability to generate, document and analyze statistics on the science and engineering enterprise. Individual innovation and novelty in approach and techniques (including the use of non-survey data and methodologies) are highly desirable.

There will also be opportunities to collaborate with some of the world’s leading experts on the science and engineering enterprise and in fields such as statistics, survey methodology, and economics. These interactions will inform policy discussions related to the science and engineering enterprise, the federal data strategy, and potentially to support key NCSES and National Science Board products such as Science and Engineering Indicators; the National Patterns of R&D Resources; the Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering Report; and the Annual Business Survey, which includes data on R&D, innovation, technology and globalization, among others.

To learn more about NCSES, visit https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/. If you have questions, send an email to SciEdPrograms@orau.org. Please list the reference code of the opportunity in the subject line of the email. These opportunities are open until filled.

Solar Energy Innovators Program Opportunity – Reminder

https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/DOE-EERE-RPP-SETO-2019-2100

The purpose of the Solar Energy Innovators Program is to enable selected applicants to conduct practical research on innovative solutions to the challenges faced by electric utilities, energy service providers, and electric public utility commissions as the levels of solar energy, as well as other distributed energy resources (DERs), increase on the electrical grid.

Selected applicants, referred to as “Innovators” herein, will participate for up to two years at a Host Institution on one or more topics related to the integration of solar energy. The applicant to this program is the prospective Innovator. The applicant must identify a Host Institution and potential mentor at a utility, energy service provider, or public utilities commission (PUC) currently conducting research in an area related to the integration of solar energy onto the electricity grid. Host Institutions may seek potential Innovators that are eligible to apply to the program, but it is the potential Innovator, not the Host Institution or mentor, who submits the application and supporting materials to this site.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Applications are downloaded for review on the first of the month, and applicants can expect to hear whether they move to the next stage within 30 days. Subsequent selection process stages include telephone interviews of the applicant and mentor. The process from application submittal to Innovator start date is approximately 3 months.
