Computer and Information Science and Engineering Research Expansion Program(NSF 24-536) Office Hours

With this solicitation, the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) is continuing its support of research expansion for Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). The goal of the CISE MSI program is to broaden participation by increasing the number of CISE-funded research projects from MSIs and to develop research capacity toward successful submissions to core CISE programs. MSIs are central to inclusive excellence: they foster innovation, cultivate current and future undergraduate and graduate computer and information science and engineering talent, and bolster long-term U.S. competitiveness.

The CISE Research Expansion Team will offer office hours, designed to answer questions from all potential applicants. Potential PIs from eligible Institutions and Co-PIs from all Institutions with established efforts in any of the sub-fields of the program are encouraged to participate.

During office hours NSF Program Officers will be available via Zoom to answer questions about the solicitation, proposal submission, merit review process, etc.
