NSF Science and Technology Centers - Integrative Partnerships (STC)
Posted December 22, 2021
Discipline(s): Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences; Biological Sciences; Education and Human Resources; Geosciences; Mathematical and Physical Sciences
The Science and Technology Centers (STC): Integrative Partnerships program supports exceptionally innovative, complex research and education projects that require large-scale, long-term awards. STCs focus on creating new scientific paradigms, establishing entirely new scientific disciplines and developing transformative technologies which have the potential for broad scientific or societal impact. STCs conduct world-class research through partnerships among institutions of higher education, national laboratories, industrial organizations, other public or private entities, and via international collaborations, as appropriate. They provide a means to undertake potentially groundbreaking investigations at the interfaces of disciplines and/or highly innovative approaches within disciplines. STCs may involve any area of science and engineering that NSF supports. STC investments support the NSF vision of creating and exploiting new concepts in science and engineering and providing global leadership in research and education.
Proposed STC annual budgets may range up to $6.0M per year (5 years) of NSF support.
Preliminary proposals are required and are due February 1, 2022. Full proposals will be due on August 29, 2022.
