CEDAR email: NSF’s 10 Big Ideas

[Astrid Maute]

NSF’s FY19 budget request
<https://www.nsf.gov/about/budget/fy2019/index.jsp> was recently released
and one of the highlights was a firm funding request for NSF’s 10 Big Ideas
<https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/index.jsp>.  To kick
start the investment into the Big Ideas, NSF has been releasing information
related to organizing and applying for funding.  In AGS, we see a role for
our community in a number of the Big Ideas:



   - Growing Convergence Research
   <https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2018/nsf18058/nsf18058.jsp>
   - Stimulating Research Related to Navigating the New Arctic (NNA)
   <https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2018/nsf18048/nsf18048.jsp>
   - Harnessing the Data Revolution
   <https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=244678&org=CI>
   - NSF INCLUDES (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners
   of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science)
   <https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505289&org=EHR&from=home>



There is also an obvious connection to Mid-scale Research Infrastructure
<https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/infrastructure.jsp>,
and NSF is still working through the results of the survey
<https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2018/nsf18013/nsf18013.jsp> that was released
last Fall in preparation for a competition.



The 10 Big Ideas are likely to be a priority for NSF for a number of years,
so we encourage the community to become familiar with the programs and
consider whether your research could be extended/enhanced through
participation.  We will keep you updated as opportunities evolve.



As always, please feel free to widely disseminate this information.



Thank you.
