Synopsis
CISE’s Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) supports research and education projects that develop new knowledge in two core programs:
- Computer Systems Research (CSR) program; and
 - Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program.
 
Proposers are invited to submit proposals in three project classes, which are defined as follows:
- Small Projects - up to $500,000 total budget with durations up to three years;
 - Medium Projects - $500,001 to $1,200,000 total budget with durations up to four years; and
 - Large Projects - $1,200,001 to $3,000,000 total budget with durations up to five years.
 
CSR proposals must be in the Small or Medium classes only; NeTS proposals may be in the Small, Medium, or Large class.
