Sustainable Vision
SUSTAINABLE VISION GRANTS are exploratory grants that will fund innovative educational programs that move ideas to commercialization for the benefit of the environment and people in need. Support will be given to programs that apply effective and sustainable technology entrepreneurship to address poverty and environmental degradation, and/or meet basic human needs such as clean air and water, nutrition, health care, and shelter.

Division of Electrical and Communications Systems
The DIVISION OF ELECTRICAL AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, (ECS), addresses the fundamental research issues underlying device technologies and the engineering systems principles of complex systems and applications. ECS also seeks to ensure the education of a diverse workforce prepared to support the continued rapid development of these technologies as drivers of the global economy. The research and education supported by ECS are fundamental to developing synergy between macro-, micro- and nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology in support of homeland security and the emerging new industries and economy of the 21st century. There are a number of funding opportunities available under this division; please refer to the following link: http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=ENG

Engineering Education and Centers (EEC)
The DIVISION OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION AND CENTERS, (EEC), supports centers that collaborate with industry to integrate research, education, and projects to promote innovations in engineering education and engage a diverse body of students in engineering research. These efforts integrate new knowledge across disciplines, accelerate technology development, and improve the capabilities and diversity of engineering graduates entering the technical workforce. There are a number of funding opportunities available under this division; please refer to the following link: http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=ENG

Division of Information & Intelligent Systems (IIS):
The DIVISION OF INFORMATION AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (IIS) supports science and engineering research and education projects that 1) develop new knowledge about the integration and co-evolution of social and technical systems, especially those that have the potential to transform learning and discovery and enhance quality of life and economic prosperity for all people; 2) increase the capabilities of human beings and machines to create, discover and reason with knowledge by advancing the ability to represent, collect, store, organize, visualize and communicate about data and information; 3) advance the state-of-the-art in the application of Information Technology (IT) to science and engineering problems; and 4) advance knowledge about how computational systems can perform tasks autonomously, robustly, and flexibly.

Computational Science Training for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS)
The goal of COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE TRAINING FOR UNDERGRADUATES IN MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES, (CSUMS), is to enhance computational aspects of the education and training of undergraduate students in the mathematical sciences -- mathematics and statistics -- and to better prepare these students to pursue careers and graduate study in fields that require integrated strengths in computation and the mathematical sciences.The core of the activity is long-term research experiences for cohorts of at least six undergraduates. Projects must focus on research topics that require interplay between computation and mathematics or statistics. Projects must be genuine research experiences rather than rehersals of research methods. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged, and appropriate mentorship from the disciplines involved is welcome.

Course Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI)
The CCLI program seeks to improve the quality of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education for all undergraduate students. The program supports efforts to create new learning materials and teaching strategies, develop faculty expertise, implement education innovations, assess learning and evaluate innovations, and conduct research on STEM teaching and learning. The program supports three types of projects representing these different phases of development, ranging from small exploratory investigations to large, comprehensive projects.

The Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Program
The BROADENING PARTICIPATION IN COMPUTING (BPC) program is intended to significantly increase the number of domestic students receiving post secondary degrees in the computing disciplines, with an emphasis on those communities that have a longstanding under representation in computing: persons with disabilities, women, and minorities. Included minorities are African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders.

Computer System Research Program (CSR)
The COMPUTER SYSTEMS RESEARCH, (CSR), program supports innovative research and education projects that have the potential to lead to significant improvements in computer systems by increasing our fundamental understanding of them. The CSR program is partitioned into two parts: The CORE areas which supports traditional CSR research and education topics; and the THEMATIC areas - which stimulates research and education in topics that are considered timely and of emerging importance.
