Opportunity Summary:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funding opportunity titled "Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS): Core Programs" supports research and education efforts in the broader area of information and intelligent systems. It is offered through NSF's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), specifically the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS). The program is intended to advance fundamental knowledge and methods that shape how information is collected, represented, integrated, learned from, and used by intelligent or semi-intelligent computational systems, including systems that interact closely with people.
The opportunity is organized around three core IIS research programs. The Cyber-Human Systems (CHS) program emphasizes the tight coupling between computing technologies and human users, including how people interact with, depend on, and are affected by computational systems. The Information Integration and Informatics (III) program focuses on methods and systems for working with data and information at scale, including integration across sources, informatics approaches, and technologies that improve the utility and meaning extracted from information. The Robust Intelligence (RI) program targets the foundations of intelligence in computing, including approaches that make intelligent behavior more reliable, adaptable, explainable, and effective in real-world environments. Proposals related to computer graphics and visualization are explicitly welcomed and may be submitted to any of these three programs, depending on the specific research emphasis and intended contributions.
NSF invites submissions in three different project classes, which mainly differ by total budget and project duration. Small Projects may request up to $500,000 in total costs and can last up to three years. Medium Projects request between $500,001 and $1,200,000 in total costs and may run up to four years. Large Projects range from $1,200,001 to $3,000,000 in total costs and may span up to five years. The maximum award amount under this solicitation is $3,000,000, and NSF anticipated making approximately 200 awards under the opportunity. Additional details about how NSF defines these project classes, along with expectations tied to each scale of effort, are referenced as being available in the solicitation's Section II (Program Description).
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity under the federal assistance listing associated with NSF (CFDA 47.070) and falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The funding opportunity number is 16-581, and it was created on July 6, 2016, with an original closing date of November 16, 2016. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the solicitation indicating that applicants should consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification on who may apply.
