NSF: Unlocking Dataset Value for AI-Enabled Scientific Discovery
This program will advance scientific community datasets to enable scientific discovery and innovation using artificial intelligence (AI) and other methods. Its goal is to increase the value that can be derived from existing scientific datasets by leveraging novel methods and artificial intelligence (AI). Proposals should address dataset security and integrity. Governance and the process for scientific communities to contribute to the datasets should also be addressed. Proposals are encouraged to leverage existing resources.
Anticipated Funding Amount: $60,000,000 to $100,000,000
Apply by: Nov. 4
Seed Grants
IBB Team Seed Grant for Equipment Core Facilities Program
Created to give investigators an opportunity to try select IBB core facility equipment. Only one IBB investigator is needed per application. IBB investigators from Georgia Tech and Emory (who are adjunct faculty members at Georgia Tech) are eligible.
IBB Team Seed Grant Program
Created to bring IBB teams together to plan and submit large grant proposals. All collaborators must be IBB faculty members who hold regular appointments at Georgia Tech. This competition is a rolling submission and the committee will select up to four (4) awards for FY25 at $5,000 per award.
