2006 IRIS Proposal
IRIS submitted its 5-year renewal proposal to the NSF this summer. The proposal came from a community-wide effort to document IRIS's success in facilitating advances in seismology and outline a program to fostering further development. Based on the theme "Cornerstone Facilities for Seismology and Earth Science", the proposal consists of 3 major parts
Project Description: A concise summary of the IRIS Consortium, the facilities that it operates, the science that is accomplished, activities proposed during the next five years, and a budget plan.
Program Descriptions: Synopses of each of the IRIS core programs (GSN, PASSCAL, DMS and E&O) and of IRIS Consortium Governance and Management, including the history, current status, and plans for each program.
Accomplishments: Two page summaries of recent advances in several fields of seismology and a topically-organized collection and one-page descriptions of research projects that used IRIS facilities or were otherwise facilitated by IRIS.
