NSF’s Engineering Directorate funds foundational research in electrical, communications, and computing systems, including devices, circuits, systems, AI, and energy, through several focused grant programs.
The NSF Expeditions in Computing program funds large, multidisciplinary teams for up to $15M over seven years to pursue bold, foundational research that will shape the future of computing and information science.
NSF’s CISE Future Computing Research program funds projects advancing knowledge in computing, communications, and information science across multiple focus areas, with awards up to $1,000,000 for up to 4 years.
Research Challenge Grant, FY28 supports West Virginia researchers’ large STEM projects to strengthen institutional research capacity and improve competitiveness for NSF EPSCoR and other external funding.
Supports planning activities in EPSCoR-eligible regions to build research capacity and prepare for future E-RISE or E-CORE infrastructure proposals, focusing on coordination and capacity-building, not research data collection.
