31 March | Dear Colleague Letter: Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Supplemental Funding in Computer and Information Science and Engineering
|
All Day
NSF
BPC supplements are intended to extend the reach of Broadening Participation in Computing plans. As part of the CISE BPC Initiative, broadening participation activities are an accepted and, in some cases, an expected part of the CISE research award portfolio. Certain awards for many CISE research programs require a meaningful BPC plan. Awards with BPC plans from the following programs are eligible to request BPC Supplements:
- Medium and Large awards in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE): Core Programs in its Computer and Network Systems (CNS), Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF), and Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS) divisions;
- Medium and Frontiers awards in Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC); and
- Medium and Frontier awards in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).
Budgets for Supplemental funding requests must be less than 20% of the original award amount; and not exceed $200,000 in total costs. Eligible Principal Investigators are strongly encouraged to contact both their cognizant NSF Program Director(s) and the BPC team at cise-bpc@nsf.gov to discuss their supplemental funding requests prior to submitting to NSF.
