The National Science Foundation (NSF) invites proposals for funding through their Ideas Lab: Engineering Technologies to Advance Underwater Sciences (ETAUS) solicitation. NSF’s Office of Polar Programs (OPP), along with other Directorates and Offices, are seeking proposals aimed to advance underwater sciences through the Ideas Lab.
An Ideas Lab is an intensive meeting that brings together multiple diverse perspectives to focus on finding innovative cross-disciplinary solutions to a grand challenge problem. The aim of this Ideas Lab is to bring together experts from diverse scientific and engineering backgrounds to develop innovative engineering technologies and solutions that will enable real-time and reliable sensing, communications, localization, navigation, and mapping of aquatic environments, including glaciers, rivers, lakes, and oceans, for scientific research and economic development in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner.
This Ideas Lab will seek and prioritize proposals which will measurably increase the diversity and participation of underrepresented minorities in STEM.
The "preliminary proposal" is simple - two pages primarily about the applicant and how they might work with a team during the Ideas Lab.
Preliminary Proposal deadline: 19 September 2022
