Description
The
goals of the Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network
Collaborations (AccelNet) program are to accelerate
the process of scientific discovery and prepare the next generation of U.S.
researchers for multiteam international
collaborations. The AccelNet program supports
strategic linkages among U.S. research networks and complementary networks
abroad that will leverage research and educational resources to tackle grand
scientific challenges that require significant coordinated international
efforts. The program seeks to foster high-impact science and engineering by
providing opportunities to create new collaborations and new combinations of
resources and ideas among linked global networks.
This
solicitation invites proposals for the creation of international networks of
networks in research areas aligned either with one of the NSF Big Ideas or a
community-identified scientific challenge with international dimensions. AccelNet awards are meant to support the connections among
research networks, rather than supporting fundamental research as the primary
activity. Each network of networks is expected to engage in innovative
collaborative activities that promote synergy of efforts across the networks
and provide professional development for students, postdoctoral scholars, and
early-career researchers. There are two proposal categories covered by this
solicitation: Catalytic and Full-Scale Implementation.
