Description
The ECosystem for Leading Innovation in Plasma Science and Engineering (ECLIPSE) program aims to advance fundamental plasma science research to address societal and technological needs. It fosters a multidisciplinary community spanning multiple NSF Directorates to support translational research at the interface of plasma science and technological innovation. The program encourages proposals that clearly articulate fundamental scientific challenges relevant to multiple NSF programs and demonstrate how resolving these challenges addresses specific societal or technological needs. It also promotes diversity and broad participation from under-represented groups in STEM.
