The document summarizes the capabilities of the MSI-CIEC portal, which allows users to tag web pages, search NSF awards by tag, and view profiles of NSF people. Key features include tagging web pages using a bookmarklet, searching NSF awards by auto-generated tags like year and directorate, viewing profiles of NSF people which include their projects and collaborators, and adding other portal users as friends. Future plans include connecting to other social networks and importing/exporting tags from other bookmarking services.
