Good luck! @ Isn't it a bit obvious to say that you will be doing computations which go beyond what has been done before?
@ You say that the previous NSF grant "has had a broad impact on mathematics" -- that should be justified or it just sounds like hype. [Later I see that you do justify this below, so all that's needed is a cross-reference here.] @ On the undergraduate's role I would emphasis what they will learn mathematically, and have the sytems admin role secondary. Whatever it will actually be like in practice, there will be people at NSF who regrd systems admin as menial... @ You describe your recent joint work with Mazur as "unpublished". Perhaps better to say "not yet published"? @ You'll need to explain the "web services" you will be running. They might not like it if they think that the machines could be used by anyone in the world, for not necessarily deserving work! @ I concur with Josh Cantor's comments (despite the "grinding to a halt" bit ;)) Which I later see is a quote! Fair though. @ Include "Compute all Q-curves ..." ? Thanks to Serre's conjecture we now know that these are all the "modular" elliptic curves over number fields. @ Reference [Cre97] needs updating (nott -> warwick) I hope they ask me to referee this one!
