Title: Research and Education Programs at the National Science Foundation
Abstract: The National Science Foundation is refocusing its grant making on "transformative" research to encourage "high risk" projects at the cutting edge of research instead of "sure thing" projects that promised only incremental advances. The goal of the presentation is to provide an update on NSF funding opportunities and discuss the proposal review process. The presentation will include Control, Communications, and Computations programs and funding opportunities for International Collaborations. In addition, NSF's five-year initiative on "Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI)" and initiative on "Cyber-Physical Systems" to will be presented.
