= 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.
