Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) Solicitation 17-576: Frontiers Projects Submission Window Dates
Date: Oct 13, 2017 2:00 am – Oct 20, 2017 7:00 pm
Submission Window Date(s): October 13, 2017 - October 20, 2017 due by 5 p.m. submitter's local time
FRONTIER Projects: Frontier projects, with total budgets ranging from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 for durations of up to five years, are well suited to multiple investigators (PI, co-PI and/or other Senior Personnel), and a team of students and/or postdocs.
- Frontier projects should be large, multidisciplinary, multi-organizational, and/or multi-institutional, and should provide high-level visibility to grand challenge research areas in cybersecurity. A Frontiers proposal should have a long-term vision, with objectives that could not be attained simply by a collection of Small or Medium proposals provided similar resources. Project descriptions must be comprehensive and well-integrated, and should make a convincing case that the collaborative contributions of the project team will be greater than the sum of each of their individual contributions. Rationale must be provided to explain why a budget of this size is required to carry out the proposed work.
- Since the success of collaborative research efforts are known to depend on thoughtful coordination mechanisms that regularly bring together the various participants of the project, a separate Collaboration Plan is required for all Frontier proposals. Up to 2 pages are allowed for Collaboration Plans. The length of and level of detail provided in the Collaboration Plan should be commensurate with the complexity of the proposed project. If a Frontier proposal does not include a Collaboration Plan, that proposal will be returned without review. Please see Proposal Preparation Instructions Section V.A for additional submission guidelines.
All Frontier projects must satisfy these additional requirements.
- All Frontier projects must be submitted to the CORE designation only.
- Prior to submission, the PIs must contact SaTC Program Officer Nina Amla to discuss the suitability of the project to the Frontier-scale competition.
- Frontier projects must include a project director or project coordinator to assist with management and collaboration. The budget must include associated costs and the collaboration plan should discuss the specific responsibilities of this position.
- Frontier projects must include actionable components that seek to increase participation of underrepresented groups in computing. These efforts to broaden participation can be undertaken by an individual PI or in collaboration with others, working within institutions, professional organizations, and/or community groups. Additional information on broadening participation efforts can be found below.
