            Description

The far-reaching impact and rate of innovation in the computing and
information disciplines has been remarkable, generating economic
prosperity and enhancing the quality of life for people throughout the
world. But the best is yet to come!The Directorate for Computer and
Information Science and Engineering (CISE) has created the Expeditions
in Computing (Expeditions) program to provide the CISE research and
education community with the opportunity to pursue ambitious,
fundamental research agendas that promise to define the future of
computing and information. In planning Expeditions, investigators are
encouraged to come together within or across departments or institutions
to combine their creative talents in the identification of compelling,
transformative research agendas that promise disruptive innovations in
computing and information for many years to come. Funded at levels up to
$2,000,000 per year for five years, Expeditions represent some of the
largest single investments currently made by the directorate. Together
with the Science and Technology Centers CISE supports, Expeditions form
the centerpiece of the directorate's award portfolio. With awards funded
at levels that promote the formation of research teams, CISE recognizes
that concurrent research advances in multiple fields or sub-fields are
often necessary to stimulate deep and enduring outcomes.The awards made
in this program will complement projects supported by other CISE
programs, which target particular computing or information disciplines
or fields.
