National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has posted a grant opportunity titled "Design for Environmental Sustainability in Computing". This grant aims to address the environmental impacts of computing throughout its lifecycle, including design, manufacturing, operation, and disposal. The goal is to improve the sustainability of computing by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, depletion of resources, and creation of toxic byproducts. The grant seeks to fund projects that go beyond energy efficiency and focus on a broader range of sustainable outcomes such as metrics for greenhouse gases, volatile organic compounds, rare materials consumption, heat, wastewater, recyclability, and longevity. The NSF is looking for novel approaches at all layers of system stacks and all steps in their lifecycles, including hardware and network architectures, sustainability-aware algorithms, data management tools, and software and system design methods. The grant also encourages research on organizational and end-user decision making regarding the adoption, use, repurposing, and disposal of computing systems. The ultimate goal is to align sustainability with other metrics to increase both environmental sustainability and computing capabilities. Proposals that solely focus on performance and energy efficiency or use computing to advance sustainability in other sectors are not within the scope of this grant. The deadline for submission is September 13, 2024. For more information, visit the NSF Publication 23-532 at http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf23532.
