Description
The Integrated Data Systems and Services (IDSS) program, administered by NSF’s Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure within the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, supports national-scale data systems and services for research, innovation, and education. It funds new infrastructure, transitions established systems to national-scale operations, enhances existing national infrastructure, and supports planning for future projects.
IDSS emphasizes integrated, accessible infrastructure that connects research data with computing resources, instrumentation, repositories, and other operational systems. Its goals include maximizing data use and reuse, supporting scientific openness and reproducibility, improving end-to-end data workflows, and developing the data infrastructure workforce. Areas of interest include connecting data sources with advanced computing and analytic environments, addressing AI-driven data integration needs, and enabling particular stages of the scientific data lifecycle at national scale.
