Project Grant 2625161

The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded the National Academy of Sciences $733,067 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to conduct independent analyses, convenings, and studies advancing computing research.

Over the three-year performance period through September 30, 2029, the National Academy of Sciences will convene leaders from academia, industry, and government to examine computing research frontiers, set priorities across fields including artificial intelligence and quantum information science, and address shared challenges spanning advanced computing systems, trusted and reliable systems, the innovation ecosystem, and education and workforce needs. The organization will sustain ongoing dialogue with the computing research community through focused meetings, workshops, expert issue papers on timely topics, and in-depth studies producing findings and recommendations where applicable. Results will reach researchers, educators, funding agencies, industry, and policymakers through public meetings, webinars, briefings, and National Academies Press reports to clarify research directions and guide infrastructure and workforce decisions. Work is performed in Washington, DC.
