This first webinar will focus on the topic: Scientific Instrumentation f or Sensing and Imaging. What: Introduction to the NSF X-Labs Funding O pportunity on Scientific Instrumentation for Sensing and ImagingWhen: Th ursday, May 28, 1-2:15 p.m. EDTRegister hereNSF X-Labs in this topic will target specific platform technologies in sensing, imaging and supporting t echnologies that will form the basis for revolutionary new capabilities in scientific discovery and technology sectors. An NSF X-Labs mission in thi s topic must be transformative, accelerating breakthrough R&D in scientifi c instrumentation towards creating or reshaping new lines of research and technologies. Successful teams will develop platform technologies, overcom e technical barriers facing sensing and imaging, demonstrate measurable im pact on the U.S. science and technology landscape, and position their tech nologies for widespread use and investment.Additional upcoming NSF X-Labs webinarsIntroduction to the NSF X-Labs Funding Opportunity on Quantum Syst ems: Interconnects and Integrated PhotonicsThursday, June 4, 2-3 p.m. EDTQ &A for NSF X-Labs on Scientific Instrumentation for Sensing and ImagingTue sday, June 23, 2:30-3:30 p.m. EDTQ&A for NSF X-Labs on Quantum Systems: In terconnects and Integrated PhotonicsTuesday, June 30, 2-3 p.m. EDT\n\nAbou t the series\n\nNSF X-Labs represent a bold, flexible, and outcomes-driven initiative designed to build and accelerate novel platform technologies c apable of unlocking entirely new sectors, including new fields of scientif ic inquiry. The program will support full-time research and development (R &D) teams focused on use-inspired scientific breakthroughs and foundationa l platform technologies that traditional university and industry labs cann ot easily address. NSF X-Labs teams will benefit from ambitious R&D goals, operational autonomy, milestone-based funding, and the ability to engage across academia, industry, national laboratories, and nonprofit sectors. N SF X-Labs will bet on ambitious, full-time teams working with urgency and purpose, and provide them with the structure, resources, and flexibility n ecessary to cultivate early-stage platform technologies that will accelera te breakthroughs and unlock entirely new sectors of the economy. For add itional assistance with accessibility and reasonable accommodations, conta ct rarequest@nsf.gov or call 703-292-8020 to request support. Please conta ct NSF at least 14 days before your meeting or event date for sessions las ting one day or less and 30 days in advance for sessions lasting two or mo re consecutive days to allow sufficient time to coordinate arrangements.
