VIB is honored to organize an NSF Panel and one-on-one office hours with Program Directors in the field of Dynamics, Vibration, and Acoustics. This panel is organized by the Program Directors of the DCSD Program at NSF.
Program Director:
Marcello Canova, Ph.D.
Program Director - Dynamics, Control and Systems Diagnostics (DCSD); Boosting Research Ideas for Transformative and Equitable Advances in Engineering (BRITE)
National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI)
An Overview of the NSF DCSD Program
The National Science Foundation (NSF) offers multiple funding opportunities for scientists and engineers, both within disciplinary programs in Engineering and other directorates, and through foundation-wide cross-cutting initiatives. Within the Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) Division, 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. This Special Session will offer an overview of the DCSD program, highlighting funding opportunities for the research communities engaged in nonlinear dynamics, structural dynamics, vibrations, acoustics, fluid-structure interactions, and metamaterials. Participants will also learn about specific initiatives aimed at supporting junior investigators, along with essential guidelines for preparing proposals. Key aspects of NSF’s criteria for Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts will be discussed to aid in writing competitive proposals. The session will include a Q&A segment.
Estimated Duration: 90 minutes
Target Date(s): TBD.
