SaTC Perspectives
Ø SaTC contains four 'perspectives' under which proposals can be submitted: Ø Trustworthy Computing Systems Ø Social, Behavioral, and Economic sciences (SBE) Ø STARSS (hardware) Ø Cybersecurity Education
Ø Proposals can be submitted to one or more perspectives with certain limits
Ø One is designated as 'primary' Ø The primary perspective affects which NSF
Directorate will most closely examine the proposal

Want to be a panelist on an NSF panel? • Good reasons to be a panelist: Learn what makes a good
proposal; serve the community with your expertise! • Bad reasons to be a panelist: Money! (a few hundred $ +
airfare for reviewing 8-10 proposals and spending 1-2 days in Arlington VA)
• Eligibility: faculty, industry, government, postdocs • Non-US people can attend in person or by phone;
expenses are paid but no honoraria • Send a list of topic areas you’re interested/qualified to
review to [email protected] • Can’t review for the same program/size as you submit
(e.g., if submit a SaTC Medium, can review SaTC Small but not SaTC Medium)
• No guarantee that you’ll get selected!
Want to be an NSF Program Officer?
• Help set the direction for security & privacy research! • Rotators from universities and other non-profits are most
common • Must be from a US institution, but citizenship not required • For academics, after tenure • For others, 10+ years past PhD is most common • PhD is typical but NOT required (e.g., me!) • Typical stay is 2-3 years; max 4 years (except permanent
govt employees) • Talk to me!
