The Dynamics, Control and Systems Diagnostics (DCSD) program, offered by the National Science Foundation (NSF), supports fundamental research on the analysis, measurement, monitoring, and control of dynamic systems. The program promotes innovation in modeling, analysis, diagnostics, and control methodologies. Proposals submitted to the DCSD program should clearly identify and articulate innovative components in one or more of these foundational areas, and should be aligned with the disciplinary thrusts of the NSF's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI). PIs are strongly encouraged to contact DCSD Program Directors prior to full submission to ensure the project is appropriate for the program. The program does not fund research on sensing modalities or sensor development. Awards under this program typically range from $250,000 to $650,000, with project periods spanning 3-5 years. The awards predominantly support project grants focused on developing advanced technologies, exploring scientific phenomena, and creating innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges. Funding is open to a wide range of applicant types, including academic institutions, research organizations, and other eligible entities across the United States.
