Title: What's Going On With Federal Funding for Computing Research

And Words from My Sponsor

Abstract:

The Computing Research Association is the Washington-based non-profit
looking out for the health of the computing research enterprise by
focusing on the people and money necessary to conduct computing
research.  This talk brings people up to date on what is going on
with research funding at the federal level and what CRA is doing to
improve the situation.  Then I turn to what CRA is doing in general
to support the people doing computing research and how students and
faculty can make use of these efforts.
