\section{Personnel}

The proposed research will require a significant amount of time and
effort to bring to fruition.  I have allocated funds to support a
postdoctoral researcher to carry out the majority of the work, along
with a month of my time for supervision and assistance.  The salary
amount budgeted allows for some flexibility in hiring; a new PhD would
not be offered the full amount.  This figure is in line with current
practice in the Syracuse Chemistry Department, and is actually on the
low end of salaries paid to junior researchers in NPAC.

The monies allocated to Technical Support provide for the day to day
operation of the computer infrastructure which is crucial to this
work.  This frees the researchers to focus on the science, and is more
cost-effective than if I had to do the work myself.

\section{Equipment}

I have budgeted funds in year 1 for the purchase of a desktop
workstation to support the postdoctoral researcher.  Other computing
resources which will be used to carry out the proposed research are
already available in NPAC or will be accessed remotely (see Section
\ref{chap:facilities}).

\section{Travel}

The travel budget includes support for one major conference a year to
present results of this work.  It also includes partial support for
one trip to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory each year to
facilitate collaboration.  While e-mail, phone, and fax can be very
effective communication tools in general, there is sometimes no
substitute for face to face discussions and close collaboration.
One particular example in this case will be work on incorporating
sparsity in the Global Array programming model, which will require
close cooperation with the author of the GAs.  The cost of such trips
will be shared with the Laboratory.

\section{Supplies} 

A modest amount is requested for materials and supplies.  This
includes basic computer and office supplies, telephone expenses,
paper, transparencies for presentations, diskettes, etc.

\section{Publication Costs}

Monies are requested to cover anticipated publication costs.
