It is under the NSF-OCI soliciation which is software in any area
(biology, astronomy, physics, chemistry, math, ...). We were not planning
to ask for a programmer though. Just support for graduate students and
Sage Days and such.

They will be useful to explore further mathematical structures.

Best,

Anne

+1. The big question here is whether we have someone with both the
expertise and time to implement those features, and whether the grant
could help provide us such a person ...
