Opportunity Information: Apply for 17 571
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Directorate and specifically the Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF), offered the "Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF): Core Programs" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 17-571) to support research and education projects that advance fundamental knowledge in computing and communications. This is a discretionary grant program within the broader category of science and technology research and development (CFDA 47.070). In practical terms, the program is aimed at foundational, theory- and principles-driven work that can shape future computing and communication technologies, methods, and systems, rather than narrowly applied or product-focused development.
The opportunity is organized around three core research programs. The Algorithmic Foundations (AF) program focuses on the principles and theory of algorithms, including how computational problems can be solved efficiently, how performance and complexity can be characterized, and how algorithmic ideas can be applied across computing domains. The Communications and Information Foundations (CIF) program supports foundational research connected to communication, information, and related mathematical underpinnings, including how information is represented, transmitted, protected, inferred, and processed under real-world constraints. The Software and Hardware Foundations (SHF) program targets the foundations of computing systems from the software-hardware stack perspective, including principled approaches to building reliable, secure, efficient, and verifiable systems, and to understanding the fundamental limits and capabilities of software and hardware architectures.
NSF invited proposals only in two project classes under this solicitation, and proposals had to fit one of these classes. Small Projects could request a total budget of up to $500,000 for a project duration of up to three years. Medium Projects could request a total budget from $500,001 to $1,200,000 for a project duration of up to four years. The solicitation explicitly limits submissions to these Small and Medium categories for CCF core proposals, meaning other project classes were not allowed under this specific opportunity. Additional details on what differentiates these classes were referenced as being described in Section II (Program Description) of the full solicitation.
Administratively, the opportunity was issued by NSF with a creation date of July 2, 2017, and an original closing date of September 27, 2017. The listing indicates an award ceiling of $3,000,000 and an expectation of around 250 awards, which suggests a relatively large, competitive program with many funded projects spread across the core areas. Eligibility is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating that the precise applicant types were defined in the full solicitation text rather than fully captured in the brief summary fields. Overall, the program is designed to fund a broad portfolio of foundational research and education efforts across algorithms, information/communication theory and foundations, and software/hardware foundations, using Small and Medium awards as the standard mechanisms for supporting that work.Apply for 17 571
