Dear colleagues,
Please see the ACM History Committee competition announcement now posted. There are TWO key points --- first, that ACM-HC is keen on funding ACM-related topics. You need to make a case that your research project has a meaningful ACM connection. Many different types of projects have been funded in the past several years.
Second, for those of you who have received ACM funding, please MAKE CERTAIN to report all meaningful results stemming from it . . . Could be conference papers, dissertation chapters, published chapters and/or journal articles. ACM-HC is quite results-oriented, so your full and prompt reporting of results to Mary Hall, chair of the committee, will do a lot for keeping this source of funding for work in the field.
Thanks, Tom Misa

The Association for Computing Machinery, founded in 1947, is the oldest and largest educational and scientific society dedicated to the computing profession, and today has 100,000 members around the world. To encourage historical research, the ACM History Committee plans to make two types of awards. Travel grants of $2,500 support smaller projects, while a fellowship grant of $5,000 may support a larger or more demanding project. Projects should focus on ACM activities, including those of members, officers, and prize winners, or ACM's rich institutional history, including consideration of its organization, publications, SIG activities, and conferences. Successful candidates may be of any rank, from graduate students through senior researchers. The current and past winners of the fellowship can be found here.
An announcement of 2012 call for fellowship proposals can be found here (also as a pdf-format document here). Proposals are due by 3 February 2012.
