(FOA)-Cyberinfrastructure
for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI): Elements and Framework
Implementations; April 08, 2019
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
The
Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) umbrella program
seeks to enable funding opportunities that are flexible and responsive to the
evolving and emerging needs in cyberinfrastructure. This program continues the
CSSI program by removing the distinction between software and data
elements/framework implementations, and instead emphasizing integrated
cyberinfrastructure services, quantitative metrics with targets for delivery
and usage of these services, and community creation.
The
CSSI umbrella program anticipates four classes of awards:
·
Elements:
These awards target small groups that will create and deploy robust services
for which there is a demonstrated need that will advance one or more
significant areas of science and engineering.
·
Framework
Implementations: These awards target larger, interdisciplinary teams organized
around the development and application of common services aimed at solving
common research problems faced by NSF researchers in one or more areas of
science and engineering, resulting in a sustainable community framework
providing Cyberinfrastructure (CI) services to a diverse community or
communities.
·
Planning
Grants for Community Cyberinfrastructure: Planning awards focus on the
establishment of long-term cyberinfrastructure services, which would serve a
research community of substantial size and disciplinary
breadth.
·
Community
Cyberinfrastructure Implementations: These Community Software
Cyberinfrastructure Implementations focus on the establishment of long-term
hubs of excellence in cyberinfrastructure services, which will serve a research
community of substantial size and disciplinary breadth.
This
particular CSSI solicitation requests only Elements and Framework
Implementations classes of awards.
