Dynamics, Control and Systems Diagnostics (DCSD)

Supports fundamental research on the analysis, measurement, monitoring and control of dynamic systems.

Synopsis

The Dynamics, Control and Systems Diagnostics (DCSD) program supports fundamental theoretical, computational, and experimental research that is knowledge-driven or inspired by applications, focusing on the modeling, analysis, diagnostics and control of the dynamic behavior of systems. Proposals submitted to the DCSD program should articulate how the proposed work advances knowledge in at least one of the following foundational areas:

Modeling: mathematical frameworks to understand and predict the behavior of dynamic systems.
Analysis: theoretical and computational tools for discovery and exploration of salient properties of dynamic systems.
Diagnostics: methods to relate underlying causes to observed behaviors of dynamic systems.
Control: methods to produce desired behavior, or mitigate undesired behavior, in dynamic systems.

The DCSD program encourages principal investigators (PIs) to request the amount of financial support necessary and sufficient to achieve the scope of the proposed research and to justify this accordingly.

PIs are encouraged to send a one-page Project Summary to dcsd@nsf.gov to receive feedback from the Program Directors on whether the project aligns with DCSD program objectives.
