We want your ideas.
Requesting Future Topics for the NSF Convergence Accelerator



The NSF Convergence Accelerator issued a Dear Colleague Letter (NSF-21-012): Request for Information (RFI) on Future Topics for the NSF Convergence Accelerator program<https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21012/nsf21012.jsp> to capture national-scale societal impact ideas from the global community for fiscal year 2022. The RFI is the kickoff of the Convergence Accelerator’s ideation process. Selected ideas will be asked to submit a conference proposal to further develop the proposed idea and to gather insights into a final report to assist NSF in determining convergence research topics for 2022.



RFI DETAILS:

Participants from academia, industry, government, non-profit, and other sectors are encouraged to submit their ideas at http://bit.ly/NSF-21-012. Responses to the RFI are due by November 9, 2020.
