NSF Big Idea: Growing Convergence Research (GCR)

Convergence research is a means for solving vexing research problems, in particular, complex problems focusing on societal needs or deep scientific challenges. It entails integrating knowledge, methods, and expertise from different disciplines and developing novel paradigms that catalyze scientific discovery and innovation.

The U.S. National Science Foundation Growing Convergence Research (GCR) Program team is excited to announce an upcoming funding opportunity webinar. The GCR solicitation (NSF 24-527) targets multidisciplinary teams who are embracing convergence research as a means of developing highly innovative solutions to complex research problems.

Informational Webinar: 
In this session, Toolbox Dialogue Initiative will host a discussion with the NSF GCR Program team and past GCR awardees. Topics will include highlights from the revised solicitation, conceptualizing convergence, and operationalizing convergence. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session.
