Dear Colleagues:

A. BACKGROUND

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation of Australia (CSIRO) have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) concerning Research Cooperation on the Advancing Innovations for Empowering NextGen AGriculturE (AI-ENGAGE) Initiative. The MoC provides an overarching framework to encourage collaboration between U.S., Japan, India, and Australia research communities working at the intersection of emerging technologies and agriculture and sets out the principles by which jointly supported activities might be developed.

By 2050, the world’s population is anticipated to increase to an estimated 9.7 billion people, with corresponding increases in food demand and pressure on land and water resources. Many of the impacts of these trends will be

Dear Colleagues:

The U.S. National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) encourages the submission of proposals that advance biological research using Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) or AI/ML methods using biological data and systems.

To tackle grand challenge problems across the biological sciences, researchers increasingly are turning to the development and adoption of AI/ML methods. AI/ML includes any computational tool that mimics intelligence and the ability to learn from data to derive inferences. These methods are powerful tools for analyzing, synthesizing, and integrating large and complex datasets, developing predictive models, and designing and deploying bio-inspired innovations. Unique aspects of information processing in biological systems and the complexity of biological data can also inform and inspire new developments in AI/ML. In addition, AI-enabled research requires a trained workforce
