AMMTO-BTO and OE FY22 Multi-Topic FOA: Subtopic 1.3: AI/Machine Learning for Aerostructures
Agencies
Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
Manufacturing of large scale aerostructures for energy applications, such as wind turbine blades, is currently very costly and energy intensive. Efforts to optimize design of large complex aerostructures can be very time-consuming. Machine learning (ML) utilizes computational tools to optimize processes, perform tasks, and make decisions/predictions. ML facilitates the analysis of large and complex data sets, such as those produced during the manufacturing of high reliability and/or high value components. The application of ML has the potential to significantly increase manufacturing speed, efficiency, and productivity in the United States (U.S.) aerospace industry.

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
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.

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
