Research Coordination Networks (RCN)
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "Research Coordination Networks (RCN)". This grant aims to advance a field or create new directions in research or education by supporting groups of investigators to communicate and coordinate their research, training, and educational activities across disciplinary, organizational, geographic, and international boundaries. The RCN program encourages innovative ideas for implementing novel networking strategies, collaborative technologies, training, broadening participation, and development of community standards for data and meta-data. It is important to note that RCN awards are not meant to support existing networks or the activities of established collaborations, and they do not support primary research. Instead, the RCN program supports the means by which investigators can share information and ideas, coordinate ongoing or planned research activities, foster synthesis and new collaborations, develop community standards, and advance science and education through communication and sharing of ideas. The grant provides opportunities to foster new collaborations, including international partnerships where appropriate, and address interdisciplinary topics. The RCN program is open to non-profit, non-academic organizations, institutions of higher education, and others directly associated with educational or research activities in the U.S. The grant has an estimated total program funding of $12,500,000, with an expected number of 20 awards. The deadline for proposal submission is open-ended. For more information, please visit the [NSF Publication 23-529](http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf23529).
