The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced the Sustainability
Research Networks (SRN) Competition 2014 Focus: Urban Sustainability.
The document number for this competition is NSF 14-534. The proposal
deadline is 29 April 2014. The full solicitation may be found by
clicking on the '14-534' link at:
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503645.
The goal of the SRN competition is to bring together multidisciplinary
teams of researchers, educators, managers, policymakers, and other
stakeholders to conduct collaborative research that addresses
fundamental challenges in sustainability. The 2014 SRN competition will
fund research networks with a focus on urban sustainability.
Proposals should identify an ambitious and nationally important theme in
urban sustainability; present a creative and innovative research agenda
that builds upon existing work in this area; and describe how a network
of researchers and other stakeholders will be supported which integrates
a variety of disciplines, sectors, and backgrounds in order to create new
perspectives and yield significant new understanding and knowledge.
The SRN competition is part of the growing NSF investment in its
Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability (SEES) portfolio.
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 and
environmental well being and to forge reasoned pathways to a sustainable
future. NSF aims to support members of the academic research community
for projects which produce discoveries and knowledge that will inform
decisions 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.
Full proposal deadline: 29 April 2014.
