Dear Colleagues,
We wanted to bring your attention to a new funding opportunity at NSF. The solicitation provides possibilities for collaborative linkages in research between social psychologists and engineering and computer scientists.
Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI)
Program Solicitation
Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) is NSF's bold five-year initiative to create revolutionary science and engineering research outcomes made possible by innovations and advances in computational thinking. Computational thinking is defined comprehensively to encompass computational concepts, methods, models, algorithms, and tools. Applied in challenging science and engineering research and education contexts, computational thinking promises a profound impact on the Nation's ability to generate and apply new knowledge. Collectively, CDI research outcomes are expected to produce paradigm shifts in our understanding of a wide range of science and engineering phenomena and socio-technical innovations that create new wealth and enhance the national quality of life.
CDI seeks ambitious, transformative, multidisciplinary research proposals within or across the following three thematic areas:
* From Data to Knowledge: enhancing human cognition and generating new knowledge from a wealth of heterogeneous digital data;
* Understanding Complexity in Natural, Built, and Social Systems: deriving fundamental insights on systems comprising multiple interacting elements; and
* Building Virtual Organizations: enhancing discovery and innovation by bringing people and resources together across institutional, geographical and cultural boundaries.
Two types of CDI awards will be supported as a result of the first (FY 2008) CDI competition:
+ Type I awards will require efforts up to a level roughly comparable to: summer support for two investigators with complementary expertise; two graduate students; and their collective research needs (e.g. materials, supplies, travel) for three years.
+ Type II awards will require larger (than Type I) efforts up to a level roughly comparable to: summer support for three investigators with complementary expertise; three graduate students; one or two senior personnel (including post-doctoral researchers and staff); and their collective
research needs (e.g. materials, supplies, travel) for four years. The integrative contributions of the Type II team should clearly be greater than the sum of the contributions of each individual member of the team.
Estimated Number of Awards: 30
In FY 2008, the number of Type I and Type II awards will be determined based on the results of separate review processes. There will be no Type III awards in FY 2008. In FY 2009 and beyond, subject to availability of funds, awards of Type I, II and III will be made based on the results of separate review processes.
Anticipated Funding Amount: $26,000,000
Pending availability of funds, a minimum of $26,000,000 will be available in FY 2008 for proposals submitted in response to this solicitation.
