<h4>Description</h4>
</blockquote>
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. <br>
