(FOA)-Dear
Colleague Letter: Supporting Transition of Research into Cities Through
the U.S. ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations Cities) Smart Cities
Partnership; March 1, 2020
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Department
of State Bureau of East Asia and Pacific Affairs
Description
Through
this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), the National Science Foundation's (NSF)
Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) together
with the Department of State's Bureau of East Asia and Pacific Affairs wishes to
notify the U.S. community of its intention to support the following high-impact
research-transition funding requests aligned with the U.S.-ASEAN Smart Cities
Partnership:
S&CC
research integrates social and technological dimensions and is targeted at one
or more communities. While S&CC research may eventually yield successful
outcomes in the targeted communities, when initially applied to new
environments and cultural contexts, new challenges will emerge. Such challenges
introduce an element of high risk where the solutions have a corresponding
potential for high impact in improving quality of life. Through this DCL, NSF
is specifically announcing its intention to support such activities, where the
"new environment" is within the ASEAN region. Supplemental funding requests and
EAGER proposals will provide support for periods of up to two years and up to
$300,000.
Both
supplemental funding requests and EAGER proposals are for PIs or project teams
that have demonstrated success or potential for success in their outcomes to
date. These activities must also involve high-impact research and advance smart
and connected communities in one of the ASEAN cities listed below, which are
part of the ASEAN
Smart Cities Partnership.
