Subject: NSF Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Core Research Program (OAC-Core) - New Solicitation NSF 18-567

Dear Colleagues,

The Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) is pleased to announce its core research program solicitation, with the goals of supporting all aspects of advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) research that will significantly impact the future capabilities of advanced research CI, as well as the research career paths of cyber scientists and engineers. OAC supports translational research and education activities in advanced cyberinfrastructure that lead to deployable, scalable, and sustainable systems capable of transforming science and engineering research. Through this solicitation, OAC seeks to foster the development of new knowledge in the innovative design, development, and utilization of robust research CI. Areas of translational research (spanning design to practice) supported by OAC include systems architecture and middleware for extreme-scale systems, scalable algorithms and applications, and advanced cyberinfrastructure ecosystem. The OAC core research program supports and sustains advancements in multiple disciplinary areas spanning computer as well as computational and data-driven science and engineering with advanced CI thrusts. The OAC-Core solicitation is part of CISE’s coordinated core program solicitations.

Potential principal investigators (PIs) are strongly encouraged to contact an OAC cognizant program director listed in this solicitation with a 1-page project summary (with project overview, intellectual merit, and broad impact) for further guidance. OAC plans to hold a webinar for potential PI’s and will announce it in the near future.

Please help disseminate this further to your colleagues and via various relevant research community mailing lists.

Regards,

Sushil Prasad
Program Director, OAC

OAC-Core: NSF Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) Core Research Program - New Solicitation NSF 18-567

  *   Program Title: Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC): Research Core Program

  *   Submission Deadline: Nov 15, 2018

  *   Synopsis of Program:
The Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) supports translational research and education activities in all aspects of advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) that lead to deployable, scalable, and sustainable systems capable of transforming science and engineering research. Advanced CI includes the spectrum of computational, data, software, networking, and security resources, tools, and services, along with the computational and data skills and expertise, that individually and collectively can transform science and engineering. OAC supports advanced CI research to address new CI frontiers for discovery leading to major innovations, and supports the development and deployment processes, as well as expert services, necessary for realizing the research CI that is critical to the advancement of all areas of science and engineering research and education.

OAC research investments are characterized by their translational nature, i.e., building on basic research results and spanning the design to practice stages. They are further characterized by one or more of the following key attributes: multi-disciplinary, extreme-scale, driven by science and engineering research, end-to-end, and deployable as robust research CI. Areas of translational research supported by OAC include systems architecture and middleware for extreme-scale systems, scalable algorithms and applications, and the advanced CI ecosystem. Principal investigators (PIs) are strongly encouraged to contact an OAC cognizant program director listed in this solicitation with a 1-page project summary for further guidance. For foundational computer and information science and engineering research, PIs are referred to the core research programs of the Computer and Communication Foundations (CCF), Computer and Network Systems (CNS), and Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS) divisions of CISE.

Proposers are invited to submit proposals in one project class, which is defined as follows:

      Small Projects - up to $500,000 total budget with durations up to three years.
