Description
The Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) program enables flexible, responsive funding for projects that address evolving needs in research cyberinfrastructure (CI). The program emphasizes integrated CI services, measurable delivery and usage targets, and building sustainable communities. It supports three award classes:
- Elements: For small groups creating and deploying robust CI services to address specific scientific or engineering needs.
- Framework Implementations: For larger, interdisciplinary teams developing community frameworks to solve common research problems and deliver sustainable CI services.
- Transition to Sustainability: For groups implementing well-defined sustainability plans for existing CI with demonstrated scientific impact.
Projects must demonstrate significant scientific impact, community engagement, and long-term sustainability. Proposals should align with the priorities of relevant NSF divisions and are strongly encouraged to be interdisciplinary.
