Summary of the INSPIRE funding opportunity:* The INSPIRE awards program
was established to address some of the most complicated and pressing
scientific problems that lie at the intersection of traditional
disciplines. It is intended to encourage investigators to submit bold,
exceptional proposals that some may consider to be at a disadvantage in
a standard NSF review process; it is */not/* intended for proposals that
are more appropriate for existing award mechanisms. INSPIRE is open to
interdisciplinary proposals on any NSF-supported topic, submitted */by
invitation only/* after a preliminary inquiry process initiated by
submission of a required Letter of Intent (LOI). In fiscal year 2013,
INSPIRE provides support through the following three pilot grant
mechanisms:
* *INSPIRE Track 1.*This is essentially a continuation of the pilot
CREATIV mechanism from FY 2012, which was detailed for 2012 in Dear
Colleague Letter NSF 12-011
<http://nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12011/nsf12011.jsp>.
* *INSPIRE Track 2.*These are "mid-scale" research awards at a larger
scale than Track 1, allowing for requests of up to $3,000,000 over a
duration of up to five years. Expectations for cross-cutting
advances and for broader impacts are greater than in Track 1, and
the review process includes external review.
* *Director's INSPIRE Awards.*These are prestigious individual awards
to single-investigator proposals that present ideas for
interdisciplinary advances with unusually strong, exciting
transformative potential.
All NSF directorates and programmatic offices participated in INSPIRE in
FY 2012 and are continuing their participation in FY 2013.
*
LETTER OF INTENT (LOI) **DUE DATES*
INSPIRE Track 2 Inquiries: Letter of Intent Due Date February 20, 2013
INSPIRE Track 1 Inquiries (also for Director's INSPIRE Awards): Letter
of Intent Due Date March 29, 2013
Full proposal submission is by invitation only, based on evaluation by
NSF staff of the required Letter of Intent.
Regards,
The NSF INSPIRE Working Group
