Computer and Information Science and Engineering: Future Computing Research (Future CoRe)

The NSF CISE Directorate supports research and education projects that develop new knowledge in all aspects of computing, communications, and information science and engineering through the Future Computing Research (Future CoRe) programs. This comprehensive solicitation covers 11 research programs spanning algorithmic foundations, communications and information foundations, computer systems research, computing education research, cyber-physical systems, foundations of emerging technologies, human-centered computing, information integration and informatics, networking technology and systems, robust intelligence, and software and hardware foundations. The program anticipates a portfolio of awards with a range of budgets and durations, including projects of smaller scope, with typical projects being approximately $150,000 to $250,000 per year and 3 to 4 years in duration. Projects are discouraged from exceeding $300,000 in any single year. Both single-program focused research and interdisciplinary research spanning multiple programs are welcome.
