NSF - Growing Convergence Research (GCR); May 8, 2019
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
This
GCR solicitation targets multi-disciplinary team research that crosses
directorate or division boundaries and is currently not supported by NSF
programs, initiatives and research-focused Big Ideas. Proposers must make a
convincing case that the research to be conducted is within NSF's purview and
cannot be supported by existing NSF programs and multidisciplinary initiatives.
Proposals involving convergence in areas covered by existing programs and
solicitations will be returned without review.
The
proposers should outline a five-year research plan delineated in two phases,
Phase I: years 1-2, and Phase II: years 3-5. Successful proposals will be
funded initially for two years and then each team's progress will be evaluated
based on a report and presentation that the team will make to a panel of
reviewers at NSF. Teams that show significant progress during the first two
years will receive funding for an additional three years. Interested
researchers may request up to $1,200,000 total for the first two years and
$2,400,000 for the last three years.
