The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE): Core Programs, Large Projects". This grant aims to support research and education projects that develop new knowledge in computing, communications, and information science and engineering through core programs.
The grant is open to non-profit, non-academic organizations such as independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies, and similar organizations located in the U.S. that are directly associated with educational or research activities. Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) including community colleges accredited in the U.S. are also eligible to apply.
The grant supports projects within the scope of the participating CISE divisions' core programs, which include Algorithmic Foundations, Communications and Information Foundations, Foundations of Emerging Technologies, Software and Hardware Foundations, Computer and Network Systems, Networking Technology and Systems, Human-Centered Computing, Information Integration and Informatics, and Robust Intelligence.
Proposals should focus on bold new ideas tackling ambitious and fundamental research problems and should be well suited to a large-scale integrated collaborative effort. Teams consisting of two or more investigators with complementary expertise are encouraged to come together within or across disciplines and institutions to identify compelling, transformative research agendas.
The grant allows for total budgets ranging from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 and durations of up to five years. The deadline for submission is September 30, 2024.
