About this opportunity

The National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering seeks applicants for foundational research in civil, mechanical, and manufacturing innovation with an application due date of October 5, 2076. Applicants are unrestricted; no cost share is required.

The opportunity encompasses four subprograms: Advanced Manufacturing, Design, and Operations (AMDO), supporting foundational research on advanced manufacturing, materials and service processes, and their integration into facilities and supply chains; Engineering for the Built Environment (EBE), supporting foundational research on civil infrastructure systems for prosperous, resilient, and safe communities; Intelligent and Interactive Dynamic Systems (IIDS), supporting foundational research on intelligent dynamic systems including engineered systems that interact with people; and Mechanics of Advanced Materials Systems (MAMS), supporting foundational research on deformation and failure in engineered and biological materials. NSF ENG anticipates a portfolio of awards with a range of budgets and durations; estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size and duration are subject to availability of funds.

NSF ENG prioritizes intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals are not required to promise near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor must they address later-stage development to be competitive.

The funding instrument is a project grant under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering). Applications must comply with NSF Grants.gov Application Guide NSF 24-006, effective for submissions on or after May 20, 2024. Standard NSF submission requirements apply, including mandatory forms (SF 424 R&R, budget, project description, NSF Cover Page), organizational SAM registration and UEI, and page limits of fifteen pages for project description and five pages for budget justification.

Synopsis

The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering (NSF ENG) supports foundational research projects for civil, mechanical, and manufacturing innovation through the following programs:

  • The Advanced Manufacturing, Design, and Operations (AMDO) program supports foundational research on advanced manufacturing, materials and service processes; their integration into facilities, supply chains, and other systems; and the optimal operation and design of these systems.

  • The Engineering for the Built Environment (EBE) program supports foundational research on civil infrastructure and civil infrastructure systems, from materials to network sciences, for prosperous, resilient, and safe communities.

  • The Intelligent and Interactive Dynamic Systems (IIDS) program supports foundational research to advance the science and engineering of intelligent dynamic systems, including engineered systems that interact with people.

  • The Mechanics of Advanced Materials Systems (MAMS) program supports foundational research on deformation and failure in engineered and biological materials.

NSF ENG anticipates a portfolio of ENG: Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) awards with a range of budgets and durations. Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds.

NSF ENG is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.
