Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering

Funds science that only computation or data could reach β€” and refuses anything using established methods on large datasets.

OpenNational Science FoundationUnited States

Simulation and large data have changed how science gets done, and this meta-programme exists to find the breakthroughs that come from new computational and data-analysis approaches rather than from applying old ones at scale.

It runs across NSF divisions and directorates. The intellectual driver can sit in one discipline or cut across several, and proposals are welcome in any research area the pa…

Scientific and engineering advances made possible by new computational and data-analysis approaches, in any research area the participating divisions support, where the computational or data-science component goes well beyond what an ordinary programme would include.
