Opportunity Information: Apply for 21 572
The NSF Convergence Accelerator program focuses on addressing major societal challenges in the U.S. through innovative convergence research. It operates in two phases and aims to turn basic research into practical solutions aligned with specific themes, known as tracks. For the 2021 cohort, two primary tracks are highlighted:
1. **Networked Blue Economy (Track E)**: This track aims to connect ocean sectors, promoting sustainable use and exploration of ocean resources through innovative tools and partnerships. Projects in this track will collectively work towards a more integrated and engaged approach to the Blue Economy, enhancing how stakeholders interact with ocean-related research and resources.
2. **Trust & Authenticity in Communications Systems (Track F)**: This track focuses on developing tools and educational resources to enhance public trust in diverse forms of communication, such as health information and news. The goal is to create a more reliable communications ecosystem by fostering partnerships and developing resources that improve the fidelity of information sharing.
Each proposal must demonstrate how it integrates into the overarching goals of its respective track rather than functioning independently. Proposals for Phase I must be submitted along with a Letter of Intent, detailing team composition, potential societal impacts, and deliverables. Successful Phase I projects may receive up to $750,000 for a 12-month period, which includes intense curriculum-driven activities designed to guide teams toward proof-of-concept outcomes.
If teams successfully complete Phase I, they may apply for Phase II funding of up to $5 million for an additional 24 months. Phase II projects must include well-defined partnerships and deliverables aimed at transitioning research into real-world applications. Progress will be assessed through regular meetings and reviews, with continued funding contingent upon performance.
The NSF Convergence Accelerator program emphasizes participation from organizations that serve minority populations and aims to broaden involvement in research efforts. Overall, the initiative encourages cross-sector collaboration to tackle significant national issues effectively.Apply for 21 572
