GENIE:Future funding

Options for future funding
Please feel free to add new ideas, or start fleshing out proposals as appropriate.

n.b. if writing a GENIE science project, please include model maintenance and support costs in proposal in line with FEC. Between 1 day per month and 1 day per week is probably appropriate - please talk to Gethin as early as possible in the process of proposal writing.

Ideas for fundable GENIE projects:
i) Integrating impacts models into GENIE
 * UEA, Manchester, Andy Price
 * NERC
 * Model development on GENIE and CIAS side
 * BFG integration
 * Science done with outcome

ii) Infrastructure research and development
 * Rupert and Graham, Gethin, Andy Price
 * EPSRC
 * Concurrency, model ordering, module integration, ets

1-2 page preliminary proposal for each of the above - Martin and Rupert for (i), Gethin and Graham for (ii) immediately after easter (31st March)

Other ideas for GENIE projects
GAIAGem (just a name at the moment, but hey, it sounds good)

Evolutionary biology

Atmospheric chemistry scheme / dust module

Coupling existing models from elsewhere

Web based GENIE

Other income sources
Searching for sponsorship from e.g. Google or the Guardian for creating standalone GENIE 'toy' model for teaching / public exploration of the Earth-system. Integrate with Google pack? Martin to investigate
