Greetings,

 

Please see the announcement below regarding the NSF Strengthening the Cyberinfrastructure Professionals Ecosystem (SCIPE) funding opportunity. Harvard may put forward one nomination for this award. More information about the award and the internal selection process can be found in the synopsis and links below.

 

NSF Strengthening the Cyberinfrastructure Professionals Ecosystem (SCIPE)

Harvard Pre-Proposal Deadline: November 5, 2023

OSP Deadline, if selected: January 10, 2024. Departments or areas may require additional time for proposal review and submission. Please discuss a timeline with your grants administrator.

Sponsor Deadline, if selected: January 18, 2024

Award Amount: Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds.

 

The overarching goal of this solicitation is to democratize access to NSF’s advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) ecosystem and to ensure fair and equitable access to resources, services, and expertise by strengthening how cyberinfrastructure professionals (CIP) function in this ecosystem. NSF invites proposals that identify the emerging and outstanding community needs in training, education, and career development that require significant innovations and will result in transformative changes. 

 

Specifically, this solicitation seeks to nurture, grow, and recognize the national CIP workforce that is essential for creating, utilizing, and supporting advanced CI to enable and potentially transform fundamental science and engineering research and education and to contribute to the nation's overall economic competitiveness and security. All projects are expected to clearly articulate how they address essential community needs, provide resources that will be widely available to and usable by the research community, and broaden participation from underrepresented groups.

 

For the purpose of this solicitation, advanced CI is broadly defined as the set of resources, tools, methods, and services for advanced computation, large-scale data handling and analytics, and networking and security for large-scale systems that collectively enable potentially transformative fundamental science and engineering research and education. The SCIPE program is intended to encourage collaboration between CI and science and engineering disciplines. Activities funded through this solicitation are expected to span targeted, multidisciplinary communities and lead to transformative changes in the state of research workforce preparedness for advanced CI-enabled research in the short and long term. 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 the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC).

 

Prospective PIs are strongly encouraged to contact the Cognizant Program Officers in 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. Additional information about this opportunity can be found in the NSF solicitation.
