The National Science Foundation (NSF) is making significant changes to NSF account registration and management in FastLane and Research.gov. As of March 26, 2018:

• Users will be able to create, view and self-manage their own NSF account.
• Existing NSF account holders will perform a one-time information verification to migrate their existing account to the new NSF account system functionality
• Users with more than one account will need to select a single NSF account as part of that initial account verification process.

The CSDE community is sad to share news of Stanley Lieberson’s passing. Lieberson served as the second Director of CSDE. In the course of his lifetime, Lieberson advanced the study of population science through a broad range of research interests, including sociolinguistics, language conflict, factors that shape cultural change, and evidence use in non-experimental social sciences.
