FOA-Harnessing
the Data Revolution (HDR): Institutes for Data-Intensive Research in Science
and Engineering; January 21, 2021
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
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 opportunities to position our Nation at the
cutting edge of global science and engineering by bringing together diverse
disciplinary perspectives to support convergent research. When responding to
this solicitation, even though proposals must be submitted through
the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) within the Directorate
for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), once received
the proposals will be managed by a cross-disciplinary team of NSF Program
Directors.
NSF's Harnessing
the Data Revolution (HDR) Big Idea is a
national-scale activity to enable new modes of data-driven discovery that will
allow fundamental questions to be asked and answered at the frontiers of
science and engineering.
This
solicitation will establish a group of HDR Institutes for data-intensive
research in science and engineering that can accelerate discovery and
innovation in a broad array of research domains. The HDR Institutes will lead
innovation 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.
