[ESIP-all] National Science Foundation: Solicitation for proposals/cyberinfrastructure for sustained scientific innovation – Data and Software

[Annie Burgess]

*DEADLINE April 18: Solicitation for proposals / cyberinfrastructure for
sustained scientific innovation – Data and Software*

NSF has issued a solicitation for proposals for a Cyberinfrastructure for
Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) umbrella program that encompasses
the long-running Data Infrastructure Building Blocks (DIBBs) and Software
Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) programs.

OPP’s contact for the solicitation is Marc Stieglitz,
CSSIQueries at nsf.gov / (703)
292-2461

The CSSI umbrella program anticipates four classes of awards:

1. Elements (either Data Elements or Software Elements): These awards
target small groups that will create and deploy robust capabilities for
which there is a demonstrated need that will advance one or more
significant areas of science and engineering.

2. Framework Implementations (either Data Frameworks or Software
Frameworks): These awards target larger, interdisciplinary teams organized
around the development and application of common infrastructure aimed at
solving common research problems faced by NSF researchers in one or more
areas of science and engineering, resulting in a sustainable community
framework serving a diverse community or communities.

3. Planning Grants for Community Cyberinfrastructure (either Community Data
Cyberinfrastructure Planning Grants or Community Software
Cyberinfrastructure Planning Grants): Planning awards focus on the
establishment of long-term capabilities in cyberinfrastructure, which would
serve a research community of substantial size and disciplinary breadth.

4. Community Cyberinfrastructure Implementations (either Community Data
Cyberinfrastructure Implementations or Community Software
Cyberinfrastructure Implementations): These Community Software
Cyberinfrastructure Implementations focus on the establishment of long-term
hubs of excellence in cyberinfrastructure and technologies, which will
serve a research community of substantial size and disciplinary breadth.

This CSSI solicitation requests only Elements and Framework Implementations
classes of awards.

NSF anticipates future solicitations that address items 3 and 4 above,
namely, Planning Grants for Community Cyberinfrastructure and Community
Cyberinfrastructure Implementations.
