The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking proposals to establish a Regional Anchor for the Southeast Region as part of its Convergence Accelerator program. The selected organization will be responsible for implementing the NSF Convergence Accelerator's program model and managing day-to-day operations, with a focus on enhancing regional competitiveness in research, innovation, and workforce development while addressing societal and economic challenges. This initiative is crucial for fostering multidisciplinary partnerships and promoting economic development within the Southeast Region, which includes North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Interested organizations must submit their proposals by November 21, 2024, and can contact Benjamin Patterson at bpatters@nsf.gov for further information. The program will operate under a flexible contracting mechanism and is expected to last five years, with significant funding available for research projects.
