Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
The
ERC program is placing greater emphasis on high-risk/high-payoff research,
larger societal impact, convergent research approaches, engagement of
stakeholder communities, and adoption of team science in team formation, in
response to the 2017 NASEM study recommendation. The ERC program intends to
support planning activities leading to convergent research team formation and
capacity-building within the engineering community. This planning grant
solicitation is designed to foster and facilitate the engineering community’s
thinking about how to form convergent research collaborations. To participate in
a forthcoming ERC competition, one is not required to submit a planning grant
proposal nor to receive a planning grant.
