  Greetings,

 The Science Program at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is excited to
 announce a request for ideas in the domain of Data Intensive Science.  This
 RFI is open now, here: *http://dis.ideascale.com*http://dis.ideascale.com

 The increasing volume and complexity of scientific data are overwhelming
 current research practices, and create additional barriers to an already
 challenged science infrastructure, workforce and funding landscape.  Many
 agencies and foundations are looking at ways to best combat the growing wave
 of challenges caused by today’s data deluge, and the Gordon and Betty Moore
 Foundation’s RFI on Data Intensive Science is intended to add to this
 growing body of thinking.  This RFI is being conducted in the open and for
 the benefit of anyone looking to navigate these areas.  The Science Program
 will review the ideas, comments and votes generated as we conduct our
 strategic planning processes this year.

 We encourage you and your colleagues to participate in this RFI through the
 middle of September, 2011.  Please note that this is not a proposal
 solicitation, and there is no promise of funding in this area. However, we
 encourage you to add your suggestions and comments here *
 http://dis.ideascale.com* http://dis.ideascale.com .  Your contributions
 will help the Science Program find areas of investment that can make the
 most difference in the domain of Data Intensive Science.

 If you would like more information on this request for ideas, please visit
 the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation’s web site at *
