NSF Trailblazer Engineering Impact Award for Innovative Engineering Research

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is inviting proposals for the Trailblazer Engineering Impact Award (TRAILBLAZER) program, focused on supporting innovative engineering research: - Government buyer: U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) - Purpose: Fund individual investigators for novel research projects in engineering - Priority research areas: - Artificial intelligence (AI) - Bioengineering - Quantum engineering - Robotics - Nuclear engineering - Eligibility requirements: - U.S.-based non-profit, non-academic organizations and accredited higher education institutions - Principal investigators must be tenured or tenure-eligible faculty (Associate or Full Professor) in an Engineering School/College, or hold an Engineering Doctorate - Only single principal investigator (PI) proposals accepted; no collaborative or multi-organization submissions - Funded projects will form a cohort and require participation in annual meetings - No specific OEMs or vendors are involved, as this is a research grant opportunity, not a procurement of products or services

Description

The NSF Trailblazer Engineering Impact Award (TRAILBLAZER) program supports individual investigators proposing novel research projects that address new areas of fundamental or applied research, catalyze new industries or capabilities, and/or address national needs or grand challenges in priority areas such as AI, bioengineering, quantum engineering, robotics, and nuclear engineering. The program supports engineers and scientists pursuing new research directions distinct from their previous work. Funded projects form a cohort with expected participation in annual meetings and other activities. The program is open to eligible institutions and requires a single PI proposal.
