NSF Engines is committed to creating technology-driven innovation ecosystems throughout every region of the U.S., driving economic growth, addressing key societal challenges, and advancing national competitiveness.

Collectively, NSF Engines has three core functions:

  *   Use-inspired research and development
  *   Translation of innovation results to society
  *   Workforce development to grow and sustain regional innovation

The NSF Engines program provides up to $160 million in funding for up to 10+ years to establish each Engine. This funding opportunity<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjA1MDMuNTczNDU1MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2JldGEubnNmLmdvdi9mdW5kaW5nL2luaXRpYXRpdmVzL3JlZ2lvbmFsLWlubm92YXRpb24tZW5naW5lcz91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkifQ.xWaJS2hVvGpOyOOpq8DU0IYOMG1pxvjVRPMQWaeoNKE/s/381559306/br/130737466376-l> is a unique way to drive economic growth in regions that have not fully participated in the technology boom of the past few decades. NSF Engines embed a culture of innovation, form coalitions comprising a diverse set of sectors and organizational types—such as small businesses, two-year colleges, and minority-serving institutions—as well as demonstrate a strong commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.

Dear Colleagues:

We are excited to share the latest Research.gov proposal preparation functionality updates, together with information about NSF Public Access Repository (NSF-PAR) enhancements.

Beginning in January 2023, all new proposals must be prepared and submitted in Research.gov or Grants.gov. FastLane will no longer be a preparation and submission option. The National Science Foundation strongly urges proposers to prepare and submit all eligible proposals in Research.gov now, to support a smooth transition from FastLane proposal preparation and submission to Research.gov in January 2023.

New Research.gov Proposal Preparation Functionality Available May 2nd

New Postdoctoral Fellowship Proposal Type
·        The Postdoctoral Fellowship proposal type is available in Research.gov for proposals submitted in response to postdoctoral fellowship solicitations that do not contain reference letter requirements. The postdoctoral fellowship solicitations will be updated to include information about proposal preparation and submission in Research.gov.
·        To initiate a postdoctoral fellowship proposal in Research.gov, the proposer must first have the Postdoctoral Scholar/Principal Investigator (PI) role, which is different from the PI role.
·        Refer to the Postdoctoral Fellowship Proposals topic Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the Research.gov About Proposal Preparation and Submission<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017pyS6luLWYRXbfZFZCazdXFg2nMoy-w1-JFYX8Uv5o2ik-Z7IL078j0X8HHVkalYxOUrNyeXm_qUAK6xFxu1WWCImMuafpJ0h8qy3V3fTj2ib5O82jaobLFT2Wkb_iHIMODQ9X-nCsVgXfZRDBsSohsvAtL4BlXNMa12hjjjWxNbswzD8s3LgoLFXyyT_HRg&c=9x9S6XrJgV1rXDd9Kd8FXtSTC1YuX8B3QkLRIXrgnmqYphsqpXBFNg==&ch=fXBH3UMbsxSr_VqKMqpAq-7PSxzAuFjMvwiXWZR2CvN3oPifT09oNw==> page for instructions to add the Postdoctoral Scholar/PI role.

·        Postdoctoral fellowship program solicitations will only display in Research.gov and be available for selection for proposers preparing a proposal as a Postdoctoral Scholar/PI.

New Research.gov Proposal Features
·        Expanded Where to Apply Options: Proposers now have to the ability to choose additional Directorate/Division/Program options (i.e., secondary units of consideration) to direct proposals to NSF. Refer to the Managing Where to Apply topic FAQs on the Research.gov About Proposal Preparation and Submission<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017pyS6luLWYRXbfZFZCazdXFg2nMoy-w1-JFYX8Uv5o2ik-Z7IL078j0X8HHVkalYxOUrNyeXm_qUAK6xFxu1WWCImMuafpJ0h8qy3V3fTj2ib5O82jaobLFT2Wkb_iHIMODQ9X-nCsVgXfZRDBsSohsvAtL4BlXNMa12hjjjWxNbswzD8s3LgoLFXyyT_HRg&c=9x9S6XrJgV1rXDd9Kd8FXtSTC1YuX8B3QkLRIXrgnmqYphsqpXBFNg==&ch=fXBH3UMbsxSr_VqKMqpAq-7PSxzAuFjMvwiXWZR2CvN3oPifT09oNw==> page for additional information.
·        Project Data Form: The Project Data Form is now available in Research.gov and must be included in proposals for selected funding opportunities in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR)/Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE). See the Project Data Form topic FAQs on the Research.gov About Proposal Preparation and Submission<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017pyS6luLWYRXbfZFZCazdXFg2nMoy-w1-JFYX8Uv5o2ik-Z7IL078j0X8HHVkalYxOUrNyeXm_qUAK6xFxu1WWCImMuafpJ0h8qy3V3fTj2ib5O82jaobLFT2Wkb_iHIMODQ9X-nCsVgXfZRDBsSohsvAtL4BlXNMa12hjjjWxNbswzD8s3LgoLFXyyT_HRg&c=9x9S6XrJgV1rXDd9Kd8FXtSTC1YuX8B3QkLRIXrgnmqYphsqpXBFNg==&ch=fXBH3UMbsxSr_VqKMqpAq-7PSxzAuFjMvwiXWZR2CvN3oPifT09oNw==> page for details.
·        Separate Uploads of Multiple Supplementary Documents: Proposers can now upload multiple PDF documents in the Other Supplementary Documents proposal section and will no longer need to combine documents into a single PDF prior to uploading.

NSF Public Access Repository (NSF-PAR) Enhancements Effective May 2nd
·        PIs and co-PIs can now remove research datasets from NSF-PAR without assistance from the NSF Help Desk by disassociating the NSF award(s) from the dataset. Disassociating all NSF awards from a dataset removes the dataset from the NSF-PAR publicly facing search.
·        Deposit of dataset information in NSF-PAR remains optional, and there are no changes at this time to NSF’s Public Access policy or project reporting requirements.

Training resources are available on the Research.gov About Public Access<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017pyS6luLWYRXbfZFZCazdXFg2nMoy-w1-JFYX8Uv5o2ik-Z7IL078md-FVG-USNLsl1XjL60fs1dN80_ImAmZl2ZJqiXngV4675_mfzG0nugpHzB6GdqfSp3mYtC4Xq8PCP1jA70oHyms0ZS2rV1qErjCeEHAeImk8_NjAhDo6rHK3nrWqQAOxriiNUzmvTtl3nXVmOOs7VboKgOnGLcqD2qXyXycfSipySOkTg3z4ZMYvkZtgCXCzEEoZrVsznGMq9OWO-eS3D6ckoLOGlgsBxfGSXDzrbUxiYhxsG6KnRSLlWRcL0gLFy5x1Wfw91j0tLeIlvEOT_6-yIfFvRo9Nk2f3flgfxaNB54rIA9jE70Q3Py0klUtg==&c=9x9S6XrJgV1rXDd9Kd8FXtSTC1YuX8B3QkLRIXrgnmqYphsqpXBFNg==&ch=fXBH3UMbsxSr_VqKMqpAq-7PSxzAuFjMvwiXWZR2CvN3oPifT09oNw==> page.

The funding opportunity track focuses include:

  *   Track H: Enhancing Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities 

This track will converge a wide range of disciplines to include social sciences, behavioral sciences, engineering, computer science, ethics, and economics

to develop use-inspired solutions to enhance the quality of life, employment access, and opportunities for persons with disabilities (PWDs).

  *   Track I: Sustainable Materials for Global Challenges

This track will converge advances in fundamental materials science with materials design and manufacturing methods

with the goal to couple their end-use and full life-cycle considerations for environmentally and economically sustainable materials and products that address global challenges.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), an Australian Government agency, is partnering with the NSF Convergence Accelerator on Track I.

Australian researchers have the opportunity to be on multidisciplinary teams that submit proposals aligned to Track I.

  *   Track J: Food & Nutrition Security

This track will converge a wide range of disciplines to address intertwined challenges in supporting population health, combating climate change, and

addressing the nutritional needs of the most vulnerable by empowering youth, women, and disadvantaged communities.
