Requesting Future Topics for the NSF Convergence Accelerator
Learn about the Dear Colleague Letter (NSF 22-021) /Request For Information (DCL/RFI) and the program’s ideation process. Attendees will learn about the Convergence Accelerator’s model and fundamentals, designed to leverage a convergence approach to transition basic research and discovery into practice. The NSF will explain how the Convergence Accelerator’s ideation process is an opportunity to think big to address current and future national and societal challenges. This enables participants to shape their topic ideas around the NSF’s criteria and will help guide their experience in the ideation phase of the program.
