As Connie said, R is already in the release.
As each release is released (SL 52, 53, 54) we put the latest version of
R at the time. But we do *not* put that latest version of R into the
errata section. That is because some people want to stay on the version
of R that they have, and some people want the latest version of R.
If you want the latest version of R, update to the latest version of SL.
If you want to stay at the version of R that you have, you can stay at
the version of SL that you are at.

Jimmy,
It is already in SL. It may not be the latest as R updates very
frequently.

Hello,
I am working already to create a repository of scientific packag=
es to
integrate with SL. If there are special requests (or better yet,
people that wish to help with packaging and maintenance), please=
let
me know.
We have some packages already in SCM (autobuilder hasn't been
configured to build these yet), but it will still a bit before w=
e can
get these released (again, nudging for some volunteers with scie=
ntific
app and RPM experience (or wanting to learn)).
http://www.infiscale.org/scire/
it would be great to get GRASS GIS (requires GDAL and PROJ4) packa=
ged
for ScientificLinux:
http://grass.osgeo.org/
In our community we receive often such request. I can help of cour=
se if needed.
Packaging notes are available at:
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install
Section would be "Geo".
Best
Markus
