Hi Xin Wei: Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Are you and Michael co-applicants?I’m looking forward to your grant. As for support material, yes, it’s required. The specs for it are below. Perhaps you could designate someone on the team to be charge of getting it together and in the format they require? Support Material (SSHRC RC)
List any samples of work you are submitting to illustrate your qualifications as an applicant or as a team and/or to illustrate the nature of your proposed research/creation. The instructions below explain exactly how you must present the support material. Samples will be sent to external reviewers in the eventuality that external reviewers are requested by the adjudication committee. However, due to technical challenges SSHRC cannot guarantee that the samples will be viewed. The adjudication committee will normally have very limited time per application to view, read or listen to samples of work provided. It is important, therefore, for applicants to present their material in the most effective manner: indicate clearly the order in which the material should be viewed by the committee and, where possible, present all of your material on a single CD, videotape, etc., edited in viewing priority. Note: Wherever feasible, written material (e.g., creative writing samples) will be sent to the adjudication committee for reading before the adjudication meeting. Choose one of the following arrangements:
- provide up to 3 works or 3 excerpts of works on videotape (VHS or SVHS), audio cassette, DVD, DAT, CD or CD-ROM. Note: Select the medium you feel best captures the work of you or your team;
- provide up to 20 slides;
- provide up to 3 excerpts of written material (overall maximum of 15 pages) drawn from a book or books, a manuscript, a catalogue, etc. (you may specify certain pages within publications that cannot effectively be photocopied).
Note: Any other samples or combinations of samples must be pre-approved by the program officer. Samples exceeding the stated types or limits without pre-approval will not be shown to the committee. Note: A specifications guideline for the multimedia platform and new media formats is available upon request. Presentation of samples
- Labeling: Clearly label your support material.
- Viewing order: List the material in order of suggested viewing priority.
- Link to assessment: Explain briefly how the material supports assessment of your application - both your proposed program of research/creation and your (or your team's) record of accomplishment.
- For videotapes, films, audio cassettes, CDs, DATs, CD-ROMs: Identify (1) the title of the piece/work; (2) the role of the applicant(s) or team member(s); (3) the medium; (4) the duration of the piece; (5) the year of production/creation; (6) which part of the material is to be presented to the committee; and (7) any special instructions or notes for viewing.
- For slides: For each slide, identify (1) the title of the work; (2) the role of the applicant(s) or team member(s); (3) the date of creation/production; (4) the medium; and (5) the dimensions of the work (where applicable).
- For print material: Label material with your name and identify (1) the title of the work or publication; (2) the role of the applicant or team member; and (3) the year of publication/production.
No. of Copies: Include at least one copy of the samples with your application. Return of material: A postage-paid and self-addressed envelope or box should be made available if you would like the the samples of work returned. Any samples of work not re-claimed in this way will be disposed of by SSHRC once the competition cycle has been completed.
Best,
Lyse

SSHRC does not take portfolio, but please send links to brief videos (2 mins?) that we can incorporate into a single video doc,
and put up on the web.
Jen will write up a TML blurb soon.
just started reading:
Graham, Beryl and Cook, Sarah, Rethinking Curating: Art after New Media, MIT Press, Cambridge, 2010, 354p. a few notes on what matters (beyond the technology):Following Graham and Cook, here "i define so-called new media as a set of behaviors, not as a medium" (xiv, forward by Dietz) "At one time, the new media of photography both changed the aesthetic understanding of painting and participated in the creation of a cultural understanding of (fixed) time and representation. At another time, the new media of video changed the aesthetic understanding of film while participating with television in the creation of a cultural understanding of (real) time and distance. The art most recently known as "new media" changes our understanding of the behaviors of contemporary art precisely because of its participation in the creation of a cultural understanding of computational interactivity and networked participation. In other words, art is different after new media because of new media ? not because new media is "next," but because its behaviors are the behaviors of our technological times." (xiv, Dietz)
lina
If there is any text I can review ahead of the meeting tomorrow, please forward.
Thanks!

Subject: Call for proposals for the Banff International Research Station 2012
La version française suit ci-dessous.
The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is now accepting proposals for its 2012 program. The Station provides an environment for creative interaction and the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the mathematical, statistical, and computing sciences, and with related disciplines and industrial sectors.
Full information, guidelines, and online forms are available at the new BIRS website:
http://www.birs.ca/
BIRS is hosting a 49-week scientific program in 2012. Each week, the station will be running either a full workshop (42 people for 5 days) or two half-workshops (each with 21 people for 5 days). As usual, BIRS provides full accommodation, board, and research facilities at no cost to the invited participants, in a setting conducive to research and collaboration.
The deadline for 5-day Workshop and Summer School proposals is September 27, 2010.
In addition BIRS will operate its Research in Teams and Focused Research Groups programs, which allow smaller groups of researchers to get together for several weeks of uninterrupted work at the station. September 27, 2010 is also the preferred date to apply for these programs. However, proposals for projects involving Research in Teams or Focused Research Groups can be submitted at any time -- subject to availability-- they must be received at least 4 months before their requested start date.
Proposal submissions should be made using the online submission form.

**********
La station internationale de recherche en sciences mathématiques de Banff (BIRS) lance un appel à projets pour son programme de l’année 2012. La mission de BIRS est de mettre à la disposition de la communauté scientifique internationale un environnement de recherche qui favorise les interactions et les échanges d'idées et de connaissances entre les membres des communautés mathématiques, statistiques, informatiques ainsi que leurs applications dans les sciences et dans le secteur industriel.
Des informations complètes ainsi que les formulaires à remplir en ligne sont disponibles sur le site Internet http://www.birs.ca/
Le programme scientifique de BIRS pour l'année 2012 sera composé de 49 semaines, chaque semaine consistant soit d'un atelier standard (42 personnes pour 5 jours) soit de deux demi- ateliers (21 personnes pour 5 jours). BIRS fournit aux participants invités l’infrastructure de recherche appropriée, ainsi que le logement et les repas dans un cadre convivial, propice aux échanges d’idées et aux collaborations scientifiques.
La date limite de pot des dossiers pour les ateliers et les écoles d'été est fixée au 27 septembre 2010.
De plus, BIRS continue de mener ses programmes de Recherche en Equipes (RIT) et de Groupes de Recherche (FRG), qui permettent à des équipes de chercheurs de se retrouver dans la station pour plusieurs semaines pour mener à bien un projet de recherche en collaboration. Les dossiers de demandes pour ces programmes doivent -de préférence- être déposés aussi avant le 27 septembre 2010. Cependant, les dossiers concernant ces deux derniers programmes (FRG et RIT) seront également acceptés à tout autre moment à condition qu’ils soient soumis au moins 4 mois avant la date à laquelle le projet est supposé débuter.
Les dossiers de candidature doivent être soumis sur Internet à l'adresse suivante:
