Supports projects that promote, improve and disseminate responsible and ethical research practices in STEM fields, focusing on individual, organizational and cultural factors influencing ethical conduct across career stages and research environments.
In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) unveiled a set of “Big Ideas,” 10 bold, long-term research and process ideas that identify areas for future investment at the frontiers of science and engineering (see https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/index.jsp). The Big Ideas represent unique...
Supports large-scale, long-term projects that focus on creating new scientific paradigms, establishing new scientific disciplines and developing transformative technologies while engaging the full spectrum of diverse talent that society has to offer.
Supports research and education to overcome barriers and enable new manufacturing capabilities. Focuses on cybermanufacturing, eco-manufacturing and biomanufacturing.
Supports early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.
Supports intensive research by undergraduate students in any NSF-funded area of research. REU Sites engage a cohort of students in research projects related to a theme. REU Supplements engage students in research related to a new or ongoing NSF research award.
The contemporary research landscape is a collaborative and international enterprise requiring high level coordination among multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural teams. As such, the Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations program (AccelNet) values cooperation over competition. Program goals are to 1) leverage prior...
