Dear NBER Affiliates,
The National Science Foundation has an upcoming program
solicitation,Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC), that may of
interest. Please feel free to contact me or one of the NBER grants
administrators if you are interested in submitting a proposal in
response. I will paste an extract from the synopsis here, but the full
solicitation can be accessed by visiting
https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?WT.z_pims_id=505364&ods_key=nsf19564
, by visiting
https://www.nsf.gov/cise/scc/
or by searching for Smart and Connected Communities at nsf.gov.
A letter of intent is required by August 6, 2019 with a full proposal
deadline of September 6, 2019.
Best,
Alterra
Synopsis
Communities in the United States (US) and around the world are entering
a new era of transformation in which residents and their surrounding
environments are increasingly connected through rapidly-changing
intelligent technologies. This transformation offers great promise for
improved wellbeing and prosperity but poses significant challenges at
the complex intersection of technology and society. The goal of the NSF
Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) program solicitation is to
accelerate the creation of the scientific and engineering foundations
that will enable smart and connected communities to bring about new
levels of economic opportunity and growth, safety and security, health
and wellness, and overall quality of life.
For the purposes of this solicitation, communities are defined as having
geographically-delineated boundaries—such as towns, cities, counties,
neighborhoods, community districts, rural areas, and tribal
regions—consisting of various populations, with the structure and
ability to engage in meaningful ways with proposed research activities.
A “smart and connected community” is, in turn, defined as a community
that synergistically integrates intelligent technologies with the
natural and built environments, including infrastructure, to improve the
social, economic, and environmental well-being of those who live, work,
or travel within it.
The S&CC program encourages researchers to work with communities and
residents to identify and define challenges they are facing, enabling
those challenges to motivate use-inspired research questions. The S&CC
program supports integrative research that addresses fundamental
technological and social science dimensions of smart and connected
communities and pilots solutions together with communities. Importantly,
the program is interested in projects that consider the sustainability
of the research outcomes beyond the life of the project, including the
scalability and transferability of the proposed solutions.
This S&CC solicitation will support research projects in the following
categories:
S&CC Integrative Research Grants (SCC-IRGs) Tracks 1 and 2. Awards in
this category will support fundamental integrative research that
addresses technological and social science dimensions of smart and
connected communities and pilots solutions together with communities.
Track 1 is for budgets greater than $1,500,000 with no recommended
budget limit, and for up to four years of support. Track 2 is for
budgets not to exceed $1,500,000, and for up to three years of support.
S&CC Planning Grants (SCC-PGs). Awards in this category are for capacity
building to prepare project teams to propose future well-developed
SCC-IRG proposals. Each of these awards will provide support for a
period of one year and may be requested at a level not to exceed
$150,000 for the total budget.
S&CC is a cross-directorate program supported by NSF’s Directorates for
Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), Education and
Human Resources (EHR), Engineering (ENG), and Social, Behavioral, and
Economic Sciences (SBE).
