The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces solicitation 11-574,
"Sustainability Research Networks Competition." The preliminary proposal
deadline is Thursday, 1 December 2011.
The Sustainability Research Networks (SRNs) Competition is part of the
growing NSF investment in its Science, Engineering, and Education for
Sustainability (SEES) portfolio (http://www.nsf.gov/sees/). Challenges
associated with broadly based SEES goals will be met by supporting
fundamental science and engineering research and education needed to
understand and overcome the barriers to sustainable human wellbeing and
to forge reasoned pathways to a sustainable future. NSF, in partnership
with other agencies, international efforts, and the private sector, aims
to support members of the academic research community for projects that
produce discoveries and knowledge leading to environmental, energy,
social, and cultural sustainability.
NSF support will advance the frontiers of conceptual, empirical, and
computational research in science, engineering, and education so that
the nation has the knowledge base to inform policies on sustainability.
Proposed SRNs are expected to be multi-dimensional with regard to
disciplines and address fundamental issues that are likely to yield
significant new understanding and knowledge.
Preliminary proposal deadline: Thursday, 1 December 2011.
Full proposal deadline: 1 April 2012.
