About the series
The NSF Convergence Accelerator Pilot (NSF C-Accel) seeks to accelerate use-inspired convergence research in areas of national importance by facilitating convergent team-building capacity around exploratory, potentially high-risk proposals. The initiative reflects NSF’s commitment to be at the cutting edge, supporting fundamental research while encouraging rapid advances through partnerships between academic and non-academic stakeholders. It will begin with three convergence tracks that align with two of NSF’s 10 Big Idea themes: (1) Harnessing the Data Revolution for 21st-Century Science and Engineering (HDR) and (2) the Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier (FW-HTF).
These three tracks are:
- An Open Knowledge Network (as part of HDR);
- AI and Future Jobs (as part of FW-HTF); and
- A National Talent Ecosystem (as part of FW-HTF).
Webinars to answer questions about the submission process or about the NSF C-Accel broadly will be held on March 27, 2019, and April 3, 2019, at 2 PM EDT. The details for these webinars (no registration required) are:
