Strengthening American Infrastructure DCL


November 12, 2020

Dear Colleagues, GEO would like to bring your attention to Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), NSF 21-019, Strengthening American Infrastructure (SAI) released on November 03, 2020. The DCL invites Workshop and EArly Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGERs) proposals that incorporate scientific insights about human behavior and social dynamics to better develop, design, build, rehabilitate, and maintain strong and effective American infrastructure.  Proposals should reflect novel interdisciplinary and cross-Directorate approaches; however, each proposal submitted in response to this DCL must be grounded in a human- and/or social-centered approach to designing, building, and sustaining infrastructure.  Please review the entire DCL for deadlines and further detail.  Inquiries should be directed to NSF-SAI@nsf.gov.

The U.S. National Science Foundation propels the nation forward by advancing fundamental research in all fields of science and engineering. NSF supports research and people by providing facilities, instruments and funding to support their ingenuity and sustain the U.S. as a global leader in research and innovation. With a fiscal year 2023 budget of $9.5 billion, NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 2,000 colleges, universities and institutions. Each year, NSF receives more than 40,000 competitive proposals and makes about 11,000 new awards. Those awards include support for cooperative research with industry, Arctic and Antarctic research and operations, and U.S. participation in international scientific efforts.
