Funding Opportunity:Computer and Information
Science and
Engineering (CISE) Research Initiation Initiative (NSF)
Sponsor:Directorate for
Computer and
Information Sciences and Engineering/NSF
With
the
goal of encouraging research independence immediately upon
obtaining one's
first academic position after receipt of the PhD, the Directorate
for Computer
and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) will award grants
to initiate
the course of one's independent research. Understanding the
critical role of
establishing that independence early in one's career, it is
expected that funds
will be used to support untenured faculty or research scientists
(or equivalent)
in their first two years in a primary academic position after the
PhD, but not
more than a total of five years after completion of their PhD. One
may not yet
have received any other grants or contracts in the Principal
Investigator (PI)
role from any department, agency, or institution of the federal
government, including
from the CAREER program or any other program, post-PhD, regardless
of the size
of the grant or contract, with certain exceptions noted below.
Serving as
co-PI, Senior Personnel, Postdoctoral Fellow, or other Fellow does
not count
against this eligibility rule. Grants, contracts, or gifts from
private
companies or foundations; state, local, or tribal governments; or
universities do
not count against this eligibility rule.
