2. Exploratory Development (Dev): support activities that involve the validation of one or more unproven infrastructure designs and/or technologies, which, if validated, could enable transformative community research infrastructure in the future.
3. Medium Community Infrastructure (Medium): support the creation of new CISE community research infrastructure or the enhancement of existing CISE community research infrastructure.
4. Grant Community Infrastructure (Grand): support projects involving significant efforts to develop new CISE community research infrastructure or to enhance and sustain an existing CISE community research infrastructure
