NSF Campus Cyberinfrastructure Program Resources

The National Science Foundation (NSF) annually invests in coordinated campus-level networking and cyberinfrastructure (CI) improvements, innovation, integration, and engineering for science applications and distributed research projects through its Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) Program as well as other NSF CI funding sources. Projects that help overcome disparities in cyber-connectivity associated with geographic location, and thereby advance the geography of innovation and enable populations based in these locales to become more nationally competitive in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research and education are particularly encouraged. Science-driven requirements are the primary motivation for any proposed activity.

The following resources have been created and curated by The Quilt to encourage broad participation in the program by supporting Quilt member organizations and their communities of eligible institutions in NSF programs.

Current NSF CC* Solicitation: NSF 24-530
