NSF CISE Community Research Infrastructure (CCRI)

$50,000 to $5,000,000  Deadline: Anticipated June through September each year Track CCRI in Pivot

CCRI community awards provide infrastructure, tools, resources, and user services to support the associated research community in pursuing innovative research ideas to fruition. This could include equipment, testbeds, software, and data repositories needed to push the limits of computing, communications and information systems. CCRI awards are not meant to support resources used by only a single investigator, a single organization, or a closed group of organizations pursuing a common research agenda. Individual investigators or small groups of investigators may wish to consider embedding expenses for modest research equipment, datasets, or resources within their CISE research proposals.
