About CNS - Division of Computer and Network Systems (CISE/CNS) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Updates to reflect the new organizational structure of CISE are in progress. Some information on this page may no longer be current.
The U.S. National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) funds innovative research that advances the understanding and development of computer and network systems and their role in solving complex scientific, engineering and societal problems. CNS supports research and education in: Computer systems and networks. Hardware and software systems.
Future-generation computing and communication systems. Computer and information science and engineering (CISE) infrastructure. Secure and trustworthy cyberspace.
CNS provides grants to researchers and scientists working on innovative projects in various subfields of computer science, such as computer architecture, hardware and software systems, networking, wireless communications, cybersecurity, data science, cyber-physical systems, computing infrastructures, computing education and workforce development.
CNS funds foundational research and educational and workforce development projects through various programs and initiatives. These programs focus on different areas of core computer and network systems research, cybersecurity and cyber-physical systems research, and education and workforce development. CNS clusters invest in core computing and lead interdisciplinary programs that span across NSF directorates.
Networking Technology and Systems The Networking Technology and Systems program seeks to advance fundamental scientific and technological advances leading to the development of future generation networks. The program includes both wired and wireless network systems, from edge networks to cloud networks, to internet-scale, Internet of Things and other network systems.
The program seeks research that advances secure-by-design, high performance, robust and manageable networks. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Application-aware networking (augmented and virtual reality). Future internet architectures.
In-network computing and storage. Artificial intelligence and machine learning for networking. 5G and beyond wireless networks.
WAN, MAN, backhaul and access networks. Networking for serverless computing. Network management (including monitoring, measurement and traffic engineering).
Network performance (including latency and quality of service). Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace The Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace program approaches security and privacy as a socio-technical problem involving deep scientific and engineering challenges as well as vulnerabilities that arise from human behaviors. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Hardware security architecture/design.
Mathematics and statistics. Networking and intrusion detection. Social, behavioral and economic sciences.
Usability and human interactions. The goal of the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) program is to develop the core system science needed to engineer complex cyber-physical systems that people can depend on with high confidence.
CPS systems reveal crosscutting fundamental scientific and engineering principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements across all application sectors, including, but not limited to: Smart and connected communities.

Future CoRe (NSF 25-543) advertises $280 million and 400 to 600 awards across 11 programs, with a September 10, 2026 target date. The directorate behind it is running 43 percent below its own four-year average, $1 billion of NSF's budget is locked in a central account, and the two-proposal cap is enforced with no exceptions. Here is how to read the gap between what the solicitation promises and what the directorate is actually paying for.
Read articleNSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.

RET Supplements reach the same money for $15,000 a teacher and are not a competition.
