28 Sept | NSF Boosting Research Ideas for Transformative and Equitable Advances in Engineering (BRITE)

NSF

This solicitation seeks proposals that enable experienced researchers with active research programs to take risks not typically associated with proposals submitted to core programs by pivoting to research areas where they have no proven track record, gaining knowledge from a different discipline and using it to forge new directions in their research field. PIs can also explore divergent, bold, and ambitious research ideas where the expected scientific outcomes are highly uncertain and the potential to transform a field is significant. This opportunity also allows experienced researchers with a hiatus in research activity to reestablish a foundation for sustained research productivity and broader impacts.
