Title
Strengthening the Cyberinfrastructure Professionals Ecosystem(SCIPE)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The overarching goal of this solicitation is to democratize access to NSF’s advanced
cyberinfrastructure (CI) ecosystem and ensure fair and equitable access to resources, services, and
expertise by strengthening how Cyberinfrastructure Professionals (CIP) function in this ecosystem.
It aims to achieve this by (1) deepening the integration of CIPs into the research enterprise, and
(2) fostering innovative and scalable education, training, and development of instructional
materials, to address emerging needs and unresolved bottlenecks in CIP workforce development.
Specifically, this solicitation seeks to nurture, grow and recognize the national CIP [1] workforce
that is essential for creating, utilizing and supporting advanced CI to enable and potentially
transform fundamental science and engineering (S&E) research and education and contribute to the
Nation's overall economic competitiveness and security. Together, the principal investigators
(PIs), technology platforms, tools, and expert CIP workforce supported by this solicitation operate
as an interdependent ecosystem wherein S&E research and education thrive. This solicitation will
support NSF’s advanced CI ecosystem with a scalable, agile, diverse, and sustainable network of
CIPs that can ensure broad adoption of advanced CI resources and expert services including
platforms, tools, methods, software, data, and networks for research communities, to catalyze major
research advances, and to enhance researchers' abilities to lead the development of new CI.
The SCIPE program is led by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) in the Directorate for
Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and has participation from other NSF
directorates/divisions, as described in Section II. Program Description, Programmatic Areas of
Interest. Not all directorates/divisions are participating at the same level, and some have
specific research and education priorities. The appropriate contact for the SCIPE program in any
directorate/division is the Cognizant Program Officer (PO) for the respective
directorate/division/office/program listed below.
All projects are expected to clearly articulate how they address essential community needs, will
provide resources that will be widely available to and usable by the research community, and will
broaden participation from underrepresented groups. Prospective PIs are strongly encouraged to
contact the Cognizant Program Officers in CISE/OAC and in the participating directorate/division
relevant to the proposal to ascertain whether the focus and budget of their proposed activities are
appropriate for this solicitation. Such consultations should be completed at least one month before
the submission deadline. PIs should include the names of the Cognizant Program Officers consulted
in a Single Copy Document as described in Section V.A. Proposal Preparation Instructions. The
intent of the SCIPE program is to encourage collaboration between CI and S&E domain disciplines.
(For this purpose, units of CISE other than OAC are considered domain disciplines.) To ensure
relevance to community needs and to facilitate adoption, those proposals of interest to one or more
domain divisions must include at least one PI/co-PI with expertise relevant to the targeted
research discipline. All proposals shall include at least one PI/co-PI with expertise pertinent to
OAC.
Prospective PIs contemplating submissions that primarily target communities relevant to
directorates/divisions that are not participating in this solicitation are directed to explore
instead the education and workforce development programs of the respective directorates/divisions.
[1] CI Professionals refers to the community of individuals who provide a broad spectrum of skills
and expertise to the scientific and engineering research enterprise by inventing, developing,
deploying and/or supporting research CI and CI users. Examples of CI Professionals include CI
system administrators, CI research support staff, CI research software engineers, data curators,
and CI facilitators,
tists and engineers who are not in traditional academic paths. See: Transforming Science

Title
Partnerships for Innovation (PFI)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) Program within the Division of Translational Impacts (TI) offers researchers from all disciplines of science and engineering funded by NSF the opportunity to perform translational research and technology development, catalyze partnerships and accelerate the transition of discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace for societal benefit.
PFI has five broad goals, as set forth by the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act of 2017 (“the Act”, S.3084 — 114th Congress; Sec. 602. Translational Research Grants): (1) identifying and supporting NSF-sponsored research and technologies that have the potential for accelerated commercialization; (2) supporting prior or current NSF-sponsored investigators, institutions of higher education, and non-profit organizations that partner with an institution of higher education in undertaking proof-of-concept work, including the development of technology prototypes that are derived from NSF-sponsored research and have potential market value; (3) promoting sustainable partnerships between NSF-funded institutions, industry, and other organizations within academia and the private sector with the purpose of accelerating the transfer of technology; (4) developing multi-disciplinary innovation ecosystems which involve and are responsive to the specific needs of academia and industry; (5) providing professional development, mentoring, and advice in entrepreneurship, project management, and technology and business development to innovators.
In addition, PFI responds to the mandate set by Congress in Section 601(c)(3) of the Act (Follow-on Grants), to support prototype or proof-of-concept development work by participants with innovations that because of the early stage of development are not eligible to participate in a Small Business Innovation Research Program or a Small Business Technology Transfer Program.
Finally, PFI seeks to implement the mandate set by Congress in Section 102(c)(a) of the Act (Broader Impacts Review Criterion Update) by enhancing partnerships between academia and industry in the United States, and expanding the participation of women and individuals from underrepresented groups in innovation, technology translation, and entrepreneurship.
This solicitation offers two broad tracks for proposals in pursuit of the aforementioned goals:
The Technology Translation (PFI-TT) track offers the opportunity to translate prior NSF-funded research results in any field of science or engineering into technological innovations with promising commercial potential and societal impact. PFI-TT supports commercial potential demonstration projects for academic research outputs in any NSF-funded science and engineering discipline. This demonstration is achieved through proof-of-concept, prototyping, technology development and/or scale-up work. Concurrently, students and postdoctoral researchers who participate in PFI-TT projects receive education and leadership training in innovation and entrepreneurship. Successful PFI-TT projects generate technology-driven commercialization outcomes that address societal needs.
The Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) track seeks to achieve the same goals as the PFI-TT track by supporting instead complex, multi-faceted technology development projects that are typically beyond the scope of a single researcher or institution and require a multi-organizational, interdisciplinary, synergistic collaboration. A PFI-RP project requires the creation of partnerships between academic researchers and third-party organizations such as industry, non-academic research organizations, federal laboratories, public or non-profit technology transfer organizations or other universities. Such partnerships are needed to conduct use-inspired research on a stand-alone larger project toward commercialization and societal impact. In the absence of such synergistic partnership, the project’s likelihood for success would be minimal.
The intended outcomes of both PFI-TT and PFI-RP tracks are: a) the commercialization of new intellectual property derived from NSF-funded research outputs; b) the creation of new or broader collaborations with industry (including increased corporate sponsored research); c) the licensing of NSF-funded research outputs to third party corporations or to start-up companies funded by a PFI team; and d) the training of future innovation and entrepreneurship leaders.
WEBINARS: Webinars will be held to answer questions about the solicitation. Registration will be available on the NSF Partnerships for Innovation website (https://www.nsf.gov/PFI). Potential proposers and their partners are encouraged to attend.
More Information
https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2023/nsf23538/nsf23538.htm
Submission Limits
There is no limit on the number of PFI-TT proposals an organization may submit to the deadlines of this solicitation. However, an organization may not submit more than one (1) new or resubmitted PFI-RP proposal to a deadline of this solicitation. This eligibility constraint will be strictly enforced. If an organization exceeds this limit, the first PFI-RP proposal received will be accepted, and the remainder will be returned without review. An organization may not receive more than two (2) awards from a submission deadline of this solicitation.

Title
Advanced Computing Systems & Services: Adapting to the Rapid Evolution of Science and Engineering Research
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The intent of this solicitation is to request proposals from organizations who are willing to serve as resource providers within the NSF
Advanced Computing Systems and Services (ACSS) program. Resource providers would (1) provide advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI)
resources in production operations to support the full range of computational- and data-intensive research across all of science and
engineering (S&E), and (2) ensure democratized and equitable access to the proposed resources. The current solicitation is intended to
complement previous NSF investments in advanced computational infrastructure by provisioning resources, broadly defined in this solicitation
to include systems and/or services, in two categories:
Category I, Capacity Resources: production computational resources maximizing the capacity provided to support the
broad range of computation and data analytics needs in S&E research; and
Category II, Innovative Prototypes/Testbeds: innovative forward-looking capabilities deploying novel technologies,
architectures, usage modes, etc., and exploring new target applications, methods, and paradigms for S&E discoveries.
Resource Providers supported via this solicitation will be incorporated into NSF’s ACSS program portfolio. This program complements
investments in leadership-class computing and funds a federation of nationally available HPC resources that are technically diverse and
intended to enable discoveries at a computational scale beyond the research of individual or regional academic institutions. NSF anticipates
that at least 90% of the provisioned resource will be available to the S&E community through an open peer-reviewed national allocation
process and have resource users be supported by community and other support services. Such allocation and support services are expected
to be coordinated through the NSF-funded “Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support” (ACCESS) suite of
services, or an NSF-approved alternative as may emerge. If this is not feasible for the proposed resource, proposers must clearly explain in
detail why this is the case and how they intend to make the proposed resource available to the national S&E community.
The ACSS Program especially seeks broad representation of PIs (including women, underrepresented minorities, and individuals with
disabilities) and institutions (including those that have not historically provided nationally allocatable cyberinfrastructure) in both the community
of resource awardees and resources users to continue growing the scale and diversity of the S&E community.

Submission Limits
Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization:1
An organization may submit only one proposal but may be a subawardee on other proposals responding to this solicitation. The restriction to
no more than one submitted proposal as lead institution is to help ensure that there is appropriate institutional commitment necessary for
responsible oversight, by the potential awardee institution, of a national resource.
Collaborative projects may only be submitted as a single proposal in which a single award is being requested (PAPPG Chapter II.E.3.a). The
involvement of partner organizations should be supported through subawards administered by the submitting organization.
These eligibility constraints will be strictly enforced in order to treat everyone fairly and consistently. In the event that an organization exceeds
this limit, the proposal received within the limit will be accepted based on the earliest date and time of proposal submission (i.e., the first
proposal received will be accepted and the remainder will be returned without review). No exceptions will be made.

Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST Centers)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
CREST Center awards provide support to enhance the research capabilities of Minority-serving institutions (MSIs) through the establishment
of centers that effectively integrate education and research. CREST Center awards promote the development of new knowledge,
enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of students historically underrepresented in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
Successful CREST Center proposals will demonstrate a clear vision and integration of STEM research and education and will align with the mission of the Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM (EES) with respect to the development of a diverse STEM workforce. CREST Centers
are also expected to provide leadership by meaningfully involving the efforts of those faculty, students, and postdoctoral researchers who are
traditionally underrepresented in STEM at all levels. Centers are required to use evidence-based and innovative strategies to address salient
broadening participation and workforce development issues, such as recruitment, retention, and mentorship of participants from
underrepresented groups. Successful proposals are expected to achieve national research competitiveness, broaden participation in STEM,
and generate sustained, non-CREST funding from federal, state, and/or private-sector sources.
Phase I and Phase II CREST Center Awards
Preliminary proposals are required for Phase I and Phase II projects. Thus, an invitation from NSF must be received before submitting a full
proposal. Both Phase I and Phase II CREST Center awards provide multi-year support for institutions that demonstrate a strong research
base. Phase I CREST Center awards provide funding for five years of research on a specific NSF-supported topic. If invited, institutions may
submit a Phase II CREST Center proposal requesting funding to continue research in the same disciplinary area as the Phase I Center or may
submit a Phase I proposal focused on a disciplinary area that is significantly different from those of the previous award(s).
CREST Partnership Supplements
CREST Partnership Supplemental funding requests are invited from current CREST Center awardees. Supplements support the
establishment or strengthening of partnerships and collaborations with active CREST Centers and other nationally or internationally
recognized research centers (including NSF-supported research centers), private sector research laboratories, K-12 schools, and/or informal
science entities, including museums and science centers, as appropriate. Such partnerships and collaborations should aid CREST Centers'
quest in advancing knowledge and education on a research theme of national significance.

Submission Limits
Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization: 1
2
Only one preliminary proposal may be submitted per eligible institution and due date.
Full CREST Center proposals are to be submitted only when invited by NSF in response to a successful preliminary proposal.
An institution may have only one active CREST Center award at one time, irrespective of focus area.
Institutions that have completed a Phase I or Phase II award in a disciplinary area may re-compete in other disciplinary areas that are
significantly different from those of the previous award(s). To be significantly different, the new project must also have new PIs, co-PIs, and
faculty investigators. The research to be supported cannot be derived from the previous award.
Institutions with active Phase I funding should submit the Phase II preliminary proposal by the due date before the full proposal is due and
prior to the expiration of their Phase I award. For example, Phase I CREST Centers ending in 2025 should submit their preliminary proposals
in 2023 to avoid disruptions in funding.

Centers for Innovation and Community Engagement in Solid Earth Geohazards
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Centers for Innovation and Community Engagement in Solid Earth Geohazards program supports university-based centers to advance
research on the fundamental solid Earth processes that underpin natural hazards. Centers will catalyze, coordinate, and produce
transformative research, lead innovation, and enable convergent approaches for systems-level insights that require the collective efforts of a
large group of individuals.
Centers focus on addressing major, fundamental science challenges for understanding solid Earth geohazards, primarily those related to
faulting, volcanoes, mass movements, and other dynamic processes. In particular, the Centers will advance understanding in one or more of
the priorities outlined in the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine decadal survey report The Earth in Time, including;
What is an earthquake? What drives volcanism? What are the causes and consequences of topographic change? and How can Earth science
research reduce the risk and toll of geohazards?
Centers will also foster different dimensions of community engagement to meaningfully improve the national welfare. Flagship community
engagement activities will take bold and creative action to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in the geoscience workforce and
expand the impact of fundamental research in solid Earth geohazards to inform and prepare a broader community. Centers will establish
partnerships to enable public outreach, hazard mitigation and other community engagement activities.
The Program has two tracks, both of which are described in this solicitation. Track I – Center Catalyst awards are intended to provide
resources to catalyze initiatives to develop future centers. These awards would support groups to develop the science, management, and
broader impact concepts for of a major research center. Track II – Center Operation awards are intended to support the operation of a fully
developed center.
In FY 2022 the competition will support Track I – Center Catalyst proposals to develop centers to address topics that focus on the fundamental processes that create solid Earth geohazards, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and/or other solid Earth or tectonic processes.
Track II – Center Operation proposals will focus on the operation of centers that will support frontier research in fundamental earthquake
processes. NSF intends to open future competitions for Track II- Center Operation support to proposals focused more broadly on solid Earth
geohazards.
