Supports establishment of biofoundries to catalyze understanding of biological or bio-engineered systems, while ensuring broad access to technologies, training and education, and enabling rapid translation of basic discoveries.

Supports the design and operation of a pathway service that manages the translation of research CI software innovations to production-quality services across NSF's advanced CI ecosystem.

In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) unveiled a set of " Big Ideas," ten bold, long-term research and process ideas that identify areas for future investment at the frontiers of science and engineering. The Big Ideas represent unique opportunities...

Supports translational research and education in all aspects of advanced cyberinfrastructure that lead to deployable, scalable and sustainable systems capable of transforming science and engineering.

Synopsis of Program: Despite decades of research, scientists do not fully understand the dynamic nature of pathogen and disease emergence. Emerging (and re-emerging) pathogens represent a continuing risk to national security because they threaten health (animal, human, and ecosystem) and...

Supports early-stage socio-technical partnerships focused on research data infrastructure ecosystems.

Supports research addressing cybersecurity and privacy, drawing on expertise in one or more of these areas: computing, communication and information sciences; engineering; economics; education; mathematics; statistics; and social and behavioral sciences.

An immersive, seven-week experiential training program that prepares NSF-funded researchers to bring technologies from the lab to the marketplace.

Supports principal investigators, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students in conducting research and collaborating with researchers at FDA on topics related to public health and emerging medical device technologies.

Supports networks that foster communication and new collaborations among scientists, engineers and educators who share a common interest in a new or developing area of science or engineering.

The Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) and Research Opportunity Awards (ROA) funding opportunities support research by faculty members at predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs). RUI proposals support PUI faculty in research that engages them in their professional field(s), builds capacity for...

Supports use-inspired research that addresses communities' social, economic and environmental challenges. Projects must work with community stakeholders on pilots that integrate intelligent technologies with the natural and built environments.

Supports the development of next-generation mathematical and statistical tools, and the theory underpinning those tools, to address computational or Big Data challenges.

The Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) program, jointly led by the CISE and ENG Directorates, supports research on robotic systems that exhibit significant levels of both computational capability and physical complexity. For the purposes of this program, a robot is...
