for studies of up to $500,000 on how to use dynamic spectrum sharing to mitigate those problems. Proposals to this opportunity do not need to include development of technical spectrum sharing solutions. These awards are for analysis of sites and applications
to identify opportunities, constraints, and requirements. Results of the studies will be used by NSF to help guide substantial future investment in implementing solutions and conducting extended field trials of spectrum sharing, so <b>participation in this
program may lead to enhanced spectrum access for the proposers’ scientific activity, instrument, or facility.</b> Interested proposers are encouraged to view the </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbcove.video%2F3D7Jo1j&data=04%7C01%7Ccarl.kutsche%40inl.gov%7C411b744de32742681b6808da0dd524e6%7C4cf464b7869a42368da2a98566485554%7C0%7C0%7C637837506352562616%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=oSY1t6K1mlN1wMsoY3tNd7yOd%2BTvQcNuGIF7eFZimKI%3D&reserved=0" title="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbcove.video%2F3D7Jo1j&data=04%7C01%7Ccarl.kutsche%40inl.gov%7C411b744de32742681b6808da0dd524e6%7C4cf464b7869a42368da2a98566485554%7C0%7C0%7C637837506352562616%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIj"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">recorded
