How/when will proposing organizations/teams expect responses from their Phase 1 Letter of Intent (LOI)?

The LOIs are for NSF merit review planning purposes only. NSF will not be providing feedback on LOIs or send invitations for submission of full proposals based on the LOI. However, proposers must submit a LOI by the deadline indicated in the R2I2 solicitation to be eligible to submit a proposal to the R2I2 solicitation.

What specific topics are covered in R2I2?

Any topic related to climate resilience is covered in R2I2. The proposers need to make a strong case for their particular idea and how it leverages fundamental research in climate and Earth system science to address climate challenges. As stated in the solicitation, “R2I2 will support community-engaged team science to co-design high-impact solutions to climate-related societal challenges that leverage recent advances in fundamental climate change and Earth system

GENERAL INFORMATION

What type of projects and PIs will the NSF TRAILBLAZER Impact Award (TRAILBLAZER) support?

The NSF TRAILBLAZER Engineering Impact Award Program will only accept single Principal Investigator (PI) proposals to perform transformative research in engineering. The PI’s research expertise and track record of creativity, innovation, and collaboration will be leveraged to propose bold new research directions distinct from previous or current research and convene and lead an effective team to conduct the proposed research activities.

The TRAILBLAZER program will support groundbreaking research projects that seek to significantly advance engineering research and innovation beyond what is currently being done in engineering and beyond the PI’s recent and prior research activities. In the Project Description, PIs must describe how the proposed new research area involves the development of innovative approaches designed to evaluate unconventional hypotheses. “Projects that are extensions of the PI’s ongoing or
