About this event
The U.S. National Science Foundation Growing Convergence Research (GCR) team is excited to announce an upcoming funding opportunity webinar. Convergence research is a means for solving vexing research problems, in particular, complex problems focusing on societal needs or deep scientific challenges. It entails integrating knowledge, methods, and expertise from different disciplines and developing novel paradigms that catalyze scientific discovery and innovation.
The GCR solicitation (NSF 24-527) targets teams who are embracing convergence as a means of developing highly innovative solutions to complex research problems. NSF funds interdisciplinary and convergence research through a variety of mechanisms. The aim of GCR is to cultivate and grow the earliest foundations of convergent approaches. As such, proposals submitted to this solicitation are expected to explore novel avenues not previously investigated that are at the forefront of advancing science through deep integration.
This webinar will begin with presentations, followed by a panel discussion with leaders of three current GCR projects and a Q&A session. Topics will include what GCR proposals and projects involve, why research teams may consider a submission to GCR, and how to create a convergence culture. The webinar will be recorded and available for later viewing on the NSF GCR website.
Please share this information within your institution and professional networks. To receive notifications of future solicitations and events, sign up here for the NSF GCR mailing list.
We look forward to your participation and engagement in this informative event.
