Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

NSF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Institutes

NSF logoThe National Science Foundation (NSF) just posted a number of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Institutes: Accelerating Research, Transforming Society, and Growing the American Workforce Solicitation (NSF 20-503).

The National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes program anticipates approximately $120 million in grants next year to fund eight planning grants and up to six research institutes in order to advance AI research and create national nexus points for universities, federal agencies, industries, and nonprofits.

Earlier this year, the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) released their completed AI Roadmap, titled A 20-Year Community Roadmap for AI Research in the US. An HTML version is available here. This roadmap, led by Yolanda Gil (University of Southern California and President of AAAI) and Bart Selman (Cornell University and President Elect of AAAI), is the result of a year long effort by the CCC and over 100 members of the research community.

Grant proposals for the National AI Research Institutes program are due to NSF no later than Jan. 28, 2020, for Institute proposals and Jan. 30, 2020, for Planning grant proposals. See the NSF news release here and Frequently Asked Questions here.
