15-29 Sept 2025 | Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE): Core Programs, Large Projects

*Please note that this opportunity is only available every other year. The next submission window is in the fall of 2027.*

This solicitation invites proposals on bold new scientific ideas tackling ambitious fundamental research problems that cross the boundaries of two or more CISE core programs. These problems must be well suited to large-scale integrated collaborative efforts. Teams should consist of two or more investigators (PI, co-PI(s), or other Senior/Key Personnel) with complementary expertise. Investigators are strongly encouraged to combine their creative talents and complementary expertise to identify compelling and transformative research approaches where the impact of the results will exceed that of the sum of each of their individual contributions. Investigators are especially encouraged to seek out partnerships in a wide class of institutions that would together produce innovative approaches to the proposed research.
