Cyber-Physical Systems

The National Science Foundation is seeking applicants for its Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) grant program. The program aims to develop the core research needed to engineer complex cyber-physical systems, spanning areas such as control, data analytics, machine learning, autonomy, Internet of Things, security, and verification. Proposals must include a research description, evaluation/experimentation plan, and project management and collaboration plan. The program has three classes of projects - Small ($600,000 max, 3 years), Medium ($600,001-$1,200,000, 3 years), and Frontier ($1,200,001-$7,000,000, 4-5 years) - with specific deadlines for the Frontier projects.

This grant opportunity is funded by the National Science Foundation, with potential collaboration from the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Transportation, and Department of Agriculture. Eligible applicants include academic institutions, research organizations, and other entities capable of conducting CPS research. Projects are expected to be performed at the applicants' research facilities across the United States.
