A mini-workshop on preparing and submitting proposals for the NSF Smart & Connected Communities (SCC) program is being planned from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2018 at the Great Plains Room in the Nebraska East Union.
The workshop is designed to bring together an inter-disciplinary group of researchers in the engineering, computing, educational, and social sciences to form research teams for discussing potential research ideas that can mature into strongly competitive full-proposals for future submission to the NSF SCC program.
The NSF SCC program is a cross-directorate program and requires that each SCC proposal incorporate technological and social dimensions of smart and connected communities and include meaningful community engagement within the project.
For further information, contact Sunil Narumalani (sunil@unl.edu), Mark Riley (mriley@unl.edu) or Deb Hamernik (dhamernik2@unl.edu).
