<v Sharma, Vishal>So within NS.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/646-0
00:04:44.271 --> 00:04:46.231

00:05:07.351 --> 00:05:09.711
<v Sharma, Vishal>So how does the program define
communities?</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/705-0
00:05:11.261 --> 00:05:14.124
<v Sharma, Vishal>It's examples of where pastors

00:05:22.341 --> 00:05:25.381
<v Sharma, Vishal>So it's fairly expansive and its
emphasis and as the name</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/738-1
00:05:25.381 --> 00:05:27.741
<v Sharma, Vishal>implies, this is not a smart

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/756-0
00:05:27.741 --> 00:05:30.495
<v Sharma, Vishal>This is a smart communities

<v Sharma, Vishal>demographics.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/788-0
00:05:35.781 --> 00:05:39.272
<v Sharma, Vishal>In terms of examples of what a
community stakeholder could be</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/788-1
00:05:39.272 --> 00:05:42.708
<v Sharma, Vishal>on your SNCC project, this is
also fairly expansive and this</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/788-2
00:05:42.708 --> 00:05:45.581
<v Sharma, Vishal>list is just examples. I can be
broader than this.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/832-0
00:05:46.311 --> 00:05:49.984
<v Sharma, Vishal>You may engage with local state
government offices and agencies</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/832-1
00:05:49.984 --> 00:05:52.509
<v Sharma, Vishal>with NGOs, with utility
providers, facepass</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/832-2
00:05:52.509 --> 00:05:55.896
<v Sharma, Vishal>organizations, neighborhood
associations, advocacy groups.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/832-3
00:05:55.896 --> 00:05:58.938
<v Sharma, Vishal>You want to engage with
communities who can help you</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/832-4
00:05:58.938 --> 00:06:02.554
<v Sharma, Vishal>understand their real needs and
challenges and those needs and</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/832-5
00:06:02.554 --> 00:06:05.941
<v Sharma, Vishal>challenges to be driving the
fundamental science that you.</v>

00:06:06.031 --> 00:06:06.231
<v Sharma, Vishal>Doing.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/837-0
00:06:08.761 --> 00:06:09.881
<v Corman, David>Let me add one thing.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/849-0
00:06:11.421 --> 00:06:14.934
<v Corman, David>And this was a question we've
received an e-mail previously a</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/849-1
00:06:14.934 --> 00:06:15.501
<v Corman, David>community.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/857-0
00:06:17.301 --> 00:06:18.661
<v Corman, David>Is a geographic community.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/861-0
00:06:18.661 --> 00:06:19.301
<v Corman, David>There can be.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/866-0
00:06:19.301 --> 00:06:23.141
<v Corman, David>Your proposal can cover multiple
communities.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/871-0
00:06:23.261 --> 00:06:25.781
<v Corman, David>It is not simply a virtual
community.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/912-0
00:06:42.871 --> 00:06:47.814
<v Sharma, Vishal>So for the new solicitation of
the program, which is NSF 25527,</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/912-1
00:06:47.814 --> 00:06:52.448
<v Sharma, Vishal>there have been several changes
to the program changes that</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/912-2
00:06:52.448 --> 00:06:56.311
<v Sharma, Vishal>really do reflect essentially a
new solicitation.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/923-0
00:06:56.311 --> 00:06:58.626
<v Sharma, Vishal>This is not the same essence if
you're familiar with the</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/923-1
00:06:58.626 --> 00:06:58.951
<v Sharma, Vishal>program.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/941-0
00:06:58.951 --> 00:07:02.983
<v Sharma, Vishal>The same SNCC solicitation that
you might be familiar with, so</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/941-1
00:07:02.983 --> 00:07:05.991
<v Sharma, Vishal>several of the new changes that
have happened.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/953-0
00:07:05.991 --> 00:07:09.099
<v Sharma, Vishal>So we have a new funder within
NSF who is participating in</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/953-1
00:07:09.099 --> 00:07:11.471
<v Sharma, Vishal>this, which is the Director for
Geosciences.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/956-0
00:07:11.471 --> 00:07:12.511
<v Sharma, Vishal>Our wonderful colleague from.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/982-0
00:07:12.981 --> 00:07:16.341
<v Sharma, Vishal>Ransom is here today, so if we
have folks from the geosciences</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/982-1
00:07:16.341 --> 00:07:19.487
<v Sharma, Vishal>community, we look forward to
welcoming you as part of the</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/982-2
00:07:19.487 --> 00:07:20.181
<v Sharma, Vishal>SNCC program.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/990-0
00:07:20.261 --> 00:07:23.021
<v Sharma, Vishal>And if you have questions,
please share them with us.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1002-0
00:07:25.461 --> 00:07:27.547
<v Sharma, Vishal>During this webinar, or feel
free to reach out to us</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1002-1
00:07:27.547 --> 00:07:27.981
<v Sharma, Vishal>afterwards.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1046-0
00:07:28.501 --> 00:07:31.617
<v Sharma, Vishal>There is a change in the
interdisciplinary focus of the</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1046-1
00:07:31.617 --> 00:07:34.679
<v Sharma, Vishal>program. If you recall past
solicitations, the way the</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1046-2
00:07:34.679 --> 00:07:37.295
<v Sharma, Vishal>program defined
interdisciplinary research was</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1046-3
00:07:37.295 --> 00:07:40.634
<v Sharma, Vishal>as sociotechnical research which
required an integration of</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1046-4
00:07:40.634 --> 00:07:42.861
<v Sharma, Vishal>social sciences and technical
sciences.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1053-0
00:07:43.591 --> 00:07:45.671
<v Sharma, Vishal>The program is being a little
more expansive.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1062-0
00:07:47.221 --> 00:07:49.221
<v Sharma, Vishal>And its definition of
interdisciplinary research.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1082-0
00:07:49.221 --> 00:07:51.978
<v Sharma, Vishal>Now we are now asking for
integration of two or more</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1082-1
00:07:51.978 --> 00:07:55.204
<v Sharma, Vishal>disciplines that are relevant to
the primary funders for this</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1082-2
00:07:55.204 --> 00:07:55.621
<v Sharma, Vishal>program.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1106-0
00:07:56.061 --> 00:07:58.728
<v Sharma, Vishal>An example would be integrating
research and AI, machine</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1106-1
00:07:58.728 --> 00:08:01.770
<v Sharma, Vishal>learning and civil engineering,
and we'll talk a little bit more</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1106-2
00:08:01.770 --> 00:08:04.624
<v Sharma, Vishal>about what that means in the
context of the program and some</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1106-3
00:08:04.624 --> 00:08:05.701
<v Sharma, Vishal>of our upcoming slides.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1122-0
00:08:07.381 --> 00:08:10.956
<v Sharma, Vishal>We used to have two tracks for
our primary Pro proposal</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1115-0
00:08:10.221 --> 00:08:10.381
<v Ransom, Barbara L.>Yeah.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1122-1
00:08:10.956 --> 00:08:14.021
<v Sharma, Vishal>category, which is integrative
research grants.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1128-0
00:08:15.701 --> 00:08:17.301
<v Sharma, Vishal>That is now one track.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1134-0
00:08:17.871 --> 00:08:19.391
<v Sharma, Vishal>It's been solidified into one
track.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1152-0
00:08:19.391 --> 00:08:22.929
<v Sharma, Vishal>These are now three to four year
awards for the maximum budget of</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1152-1
00:08:22.929 --> 00:08:24.591
<v Sharma, Vishal>one and a half million dollars.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1176-0
00:08:25.191 --> 00:08:28.312
<v Sharma, Vishal>There is a new proposal category
called large scale research,</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1176-1
00:08:28.312 --> 00:08:31.081
<v Sharma, Vishal>which we'll talk about in the
upcoming slides as well,</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1176-2
00:08:31.081 --> 00:08:33.951
<v Sharma, Vishal>planning grants have been
renamed to development grants.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1183-0
00:08:33.951 --> 00:08:37.028
<v Sharma, Vishal>There is no major change in
their scope. It's just a</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1183-1
00:08:37.028 --> 00:08:37.551
<v Sharma, Vishal>renaming.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1204-0
00:08:39.101 --> 00:08:43.077
<v Sharma, Vishal>Irg and large scale research
proposals require preliminary</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1204-1
00:08:43.077 --> 00:08:46.784
<v Sharma, Vishal>proposals prior to full
submission. We will talk about</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1204-2
00:08:46.784 --> 00:08:47.661
<v Sharma, Vishal>that as well.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1223-0
00:08:48.641 --> 00:08:52.090
<v Sharma, Vishal>And the program has shifted to a
target date approach which we</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1223-1
00:08:52.090 --> 00:08:54.281
<v Sharma, Vishal>will also cover in the upcoming
slides.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1247-0
00:09:00.911 --> 00:09:04.528
<v Sharma, Vishal>So amongst these three proposal
categories for large scale</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1247-1
00:09:04.528 --> 00:09:08.391
<v Sharma, Vishal>research, the award duration can
be up to five years and up to</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1247-2
00:09:08.391 --> 00:09:10.231
<v Sharma, Vishal>award size of up to 5 million.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1250-0
00:09:10.471 --> 00:09:12.311
<v Sharma, Vishal>And these are just estimates.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1266-0
00:09:13.861 --> 00:09:16.954
<v Sharma, Vishal>But we estimate making one or
two of these awards on a yearly</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1266-1
00:09:16.954 --> 00:09:18.901
<v Sharma, Vishal>basis for integrative research
grants.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1291-0
00:09:19.101 --> 00:09:22.847
<v Sharma, Vishal>These can be up to four years,
an award size of up to 1.5</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1291-1
00:09:22.847 --> 00:09:26.917
<v Sharma, Vishal>million, and we estimate making
8 to 12 awards and development</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1291-2
00:09:26.917 --> 00:09:29.501
<v Sharma, Vishal>grants are one year for up to
$150,000.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1313-0
00:09:30.151 --> 00:09:33.667
<v Sharma, Vishal>An estimated 20 to 30 awards and
but this is all very much</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1313-1
00:09:33.667 --> 00:09:37.184
<v Sharma, Vishal>dependent on budgets that are
available and the quality of</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1313-2
00:09:37.184 --> 00:09:39.271
<v Sharma, Vishal>proposals that we receive as
well.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1319-0
00:09:44.601 --> 00:09:47.361
<v Sharma, Vishal>So research scope and primary
funders.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1369-0
00:09:48.941 --> 00:09:53.199
<v Sharma, Vishal>The program is is being and will
be very selective about what it</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1369-1
00:09:53.199 --> 00:09:57.261
<v Sharma, Vishal>chooses to fund. So proposed
research has to make fundamental</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1369-2
00:09:57.261 --> 00:10:01.323
<v Sharma, Vishal>contributions in two or more
primary areas of interest to the</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1369-3
00:10:01.323 --> 00:10:05.319
<v Sharma, Vishal>participating directors and
divisions in the program. In the</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1369-4
00:10:05.319 --> 00:10:08.661
<v Sharma, Vishal>context of an interdisciplinary
program like this.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1382-0
00:10:09.171 --> 00:10:12.116
<v Sharma, Vishal>That does not mean that we
welcome proposals from all</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1382-1
00:10:12.116 --> 00:10:12.771
<v Sharma, Vishal>disciplines.</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1423-0
00:10:12.771 --> 00:10:16.274
<v Sharma, Vishal>We welcome proposals from
disciplines that are represented</v>

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/1423-1

00:29:54.031 --> 00:29:56.911
<v Sharma, Vishal>So intellectual merit and

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/4002-1
00:29:56.911 --> 00:29:58.191

<v Sharma, Vishal>So the basic questions that

c03b6d81-c730-4ecb-8818-a2b6d5fca697/4047-1
00:30:12.252 --> 00:30:17.000
