NSF Addressing Systems Challenges through Engineering Teams (ASCENT)
Posted January 26, 2022
Discipline(s): Engineering
The Addressing Systems Challenges through Engineering Teams (ASCENT) program is a strategic investment of ECCS that emphasizes new collaboration modalities among the various ECCS supported sub-disciplines. ASCENT encourages robust collaborations among the devices, circuits, algorithms, systems, and networks research communities to develop innovative projects. ASCENT seeks proposals that are bold and ground-breaking transcending the perspectives and approaches typical of disciplinary research efforts. ASCENT projects are expected to lead to disruptive technologies or nucleate entirely new research fields motivated by the most pressing societal challenges the global community faces.
Project budgets will range from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 for a period of four years.
Preliminary proposals are due March 2, 2022.
Full proposals, by invitation only, are due May 31, 2022.
