Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (CDS&E) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (CDS&E) Important information for proposers and award recipients All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in the funding opportunity and in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and its supplements .
All NSF grants and cooperative agreements are subject to the applicable set of NSF award terms and conditions . NSF has updated its research security policies for NSF funded projects. Supports research that uses new computational and data science approaches to advance knowledge and accelerate discovery in science and engineering.
Supports research that uses new computational and data science approaches to advance knowledge and accelerate discovery in science and engineering. Large-scale simulations and the ability to accumulate massive amounts of data have revolutionized science and engineering.
The goal of the Computational and Data-enabled Science and Engineering (CDS&E) meta-program is to identify and capitalize on opportunities for major scientific and engineering breakthroughs through new computational and data-analysis approaches and best practices.
The CDS&E meta-program supports projects that harness computation and data to advance knowledge and accelerate discovery above and beyond the goals of the participating individual programs. The intellectual drivers may be in an individual discipline or cut across more than one discipline in various Divisions and Directorates.
A CDS&E proposal should enable and/or utilize the development and adaptation of advances in research and infrastructure in computational and data science. The CDS&E meta-program encourages research that pushes the envelope of science and engineering through computation and data, welcoming proposals in any research area supported by the participating divisions.
A proposal may address topics that develop or enable interactions among theory, computing, experiment, and observation to achieve progress on hitherto intractable science and engineering problems. Areas of emphasis for CDS&E vary by program. PIs are advised to consult the "related programs" links below before submitting.
The CDS&E meta-program is not intended to replace existing programs that support projects involving computation or the analysis of large or complex data sets using established methods. Rather, proposals submitted to the CDS&E meta-program must have a significant component of computational or data science that goes well beyond what would typically be included in these programs.
Any proposal submitted to the CDS&E program that is not responsive to this Program Description may be transferred to or reviewed within the context of an individual program. A proposal requesting consideration within the context of CDS&E should begin the title with the identifying acronym "CDS&E:". Supplement requests to existing awards may also be considered.
A CDS&E proposal should include substantive science, engineering, or computing research. Algorithm and pilot software development supporting science and engineering may also be appropriate, depending on the program. Proposers who seek to implement proven, existing methods into robust cyberinfrastructure are referred instead to the program on Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI).
A CDS&E proposal should be submitted to one of the "Related Programs" or Divisions by the associated submission window, deadline, or target date listed in the table below. In picking the most relevant program, PIs are advised to read program descriptions and solicitations carefully and consult with cognizant Program Officers before proposal preparation.
Proposal submissions outside the receiving program's scientific scope may be transferred to a different program or returned without review.

MGPV Travel Grant is sponsored by Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcanology Division. MGPV Travel grants support student travel to the annual GSA meeting. Applications are restricted to active graduate or undergraduate students who are the presenting authors of an accepted abstract at the annual GSA meeting.
Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) - 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This omnibus research funding opportunity includes various program elements, with rolling submissions for Earth Science research through August 2026. Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
NSF 26-514, 26-515 and 26-518 put $310 million and up to 850 awards on rolling submission with zero per-PI limits, while chemistry rations two proposals a year and materials rations one. The Engineering directorate ran this experiment eight years ago. When NSF tried it in Earth Sciences, proposal volume fell 59 percent. Here is what that history predicts, and how to use a directorate that is not counting your submissions.
Read articleNSF announced three more X-Labs topics on September 16, 2026 — Artificial Intelligence for Physical Systems is live, with Sequence to Function and Computation at the Limit of Physics coming this fall. The Q&A webinar is October 14 and an RFI on future topics closes October 30. The per-topic key-personnel restriction is what should be driving your team-building decisions.
Read articleNSF 26-521 folds eight materials programs into one solicitation carrying $100 million and 200 to 300 awards. Proposals are accepted anytime — but no individual may appear as PI or co-PI on more than one proposal per fiscal year across all eight programs. That single sentence reshapes how materials labs collaborate.
