Solicitation 4 for GENI Development & Prototyping

The GENI Project Office (GPO) is soliciting proposals for development and prototyping proposals.

Projects funded under this solicitation are expected to play a major role in advancing the maturity of GENI as it progresses through its “at scale” deployment phase. Proposers are invited to work with the GENI community to advance program goals.

• Improve GENI capabilities and usability through tool development.
• Validate and stress-test key GENI features via experiments and prototype services.
• Develop experiments, training, and educational materials that encourage the broader use of GENI throughout the university community – by research faculty, in the classroom, and in the dorm.
• Provide operational support to keep GENI available and reliable for a growing user community.
• Build community structures that will sustain GENI’s momentum beyond the project’s development phase.

For detailed information, please review the Solicitation 4 document​.
