- Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR): Institutes for Data-Intensive Research
in Science and Engineering - Frameworks (I-DIRSE-FW); May 7, 2019
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
This
solicitation is for Frameworks for Data-Intensive Research in Science and
Engineering (DIRSE) as part of the HDR Institutes activity. These Frameworks
represent one path of a conceptualization phase aimed at developing Institutes
as part of the NSF investment in the HDR Big Idea.
The
HDR Institutes activity seeks to create an integrated fabric of interrelated
institutes that can accelerate discovery and innovation in multiple areas of
data-intensive science and engineering. The HDR Institutes will achieve this by
harnessing diverse data sources and developing and applying new methodologies,
technologies, and infrastructure for data management and analysis. The HDR
Institutes will support convergence between science and engineering research
communities as well as expertise in data science foundations, systems,
applications, and cyberinfrastructure. In addition, the HDR Institutes will
enable breakthroughs in science and engineering through collaborative,
co-designed programs to formulate innovative data-intensive approaches to
address critical national challenges.
HDR
Institutes will be developed through a two-phase process involving
conceptualization followed by convergence. The conceptualization phase will be
implemented in FY 2019 via two complementary funding opportunities. The first
opportunity in FY 2019 will encourage individuals with compelling
data-intensive science and engineering problems and/or technical expertise to
self-organize into teams with the aim of developing innovative, collaborative
research proposals through an Ideas Lab process. The second opportunity in FY
2019, described in this solicitation, will encourage applications from teams of
researchers proposing frameworks for integrated sets of science and engineering
problems and data science solutions. The conceptualization phase will result in
two-year awards aimed at building communities, defining research priorities,
and developing interdisciplinary prototype solutions. NSF anticipates
implementing the subsequent convergence and co-design phase in the 2021
timeframe with awards that integrate and scale successful prototypes and new
ideas into larger, more comprehensive HDR Institutes that bring together
multiple science and engineering communities with computer and computational
scientists, mathematicians, statisticians, and information scientists around
common data science approaches.
