So from the requirements of this grant we fall under HCI innovation:

B. Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
A challenge in HCI is to make people more productive by augmenting their c
information devices and through human-machine interfaces, which provide th
environment for these gains. Human-computer interaction covers the design,
implementation of interactive computing systems for human use, specifically
one or more humans and one or more computational machines. It also deals w
performance of tasks by humans and machines, and innovative HCI technique
relate to HCI performance metrics. This topic includes the development of in
software that supports:
1.  Virtual/Augmented Reality for Immersive Environments 
2.  Representation and Visualization of Knowledge and Models

I forgot the attachment. You could download it from NSF website as well.
The GSBI application for 2007 is past, you may talk to them about sit-in or apply for 2008. It's a free program offered in August.

Couple of things you may already know:
1. Games in Education: http://www.educationarcade.org/
2. Google foundation is just formed, not sure their focus yet. But they have program to  support non-profit on Google search, nice way for get publicity and lower your marketing cost.

Take care.
