The National Science Foundation Civil Infrastructure Systems Grant supports research on engineering resilient and sustainable infrastructure systems, emphasizing systems engineering, design, risk analysis, and performance management. This program encourages proposals on infrastructure networks, transportation systems, and infrastructure management, while excluding structural engineering, materials research, and climate modeling. Researchers in excluded areas are directed to other programs within the NSF or different directorates. Applications focusing on intra- and inter-dependencies of infrastructure systems, behavioral considerations, and sustainability are welcome. Contact the NSF CMMI division for more information.

| Description:: | The Civil Infrastructure Systems (CIS) program supports research leading to the engineering of infrastructure systems for resilience and sustainability without excluding other key performance issues. Areas of interest include intra- and inter-physical, information and behavioral dependencies of infrastructure systems, infrastructure management, construction engineering, and transportation systems. Special emphasis is on the design, construction, operation, and improvement of infrastructure networks with a focus on systems engineering and design, performance management, risk analysis, life-cycle analysis, modeling and simulation, behavioral and social considerations not excluding other methodological areas or the integration of methods.This program does not encourage research proposals primarily focused on structural engineering, materials or sensors that support infrastructure system design, extreme event modeling, hydrological engineering, and climate modeling, since they do not fall within the scope of the CIS program. Researchers focused in these areas are encouraged to contact the Infrastructure Management and Extreme Events (IMEE), Geotechnical Engineering (GTE), Hazard Mitigation and Structural Engineering (HSME), Structural Materials and Mechanics (SMM), or the Sensors and Sensing Systems (SSS) program within CMMI. Additionally, researchers may consider contacting the Hydrologic Sciences program in the Earth Sciences Division (EAR) or the Physical and Dynamic Meteorology (PDM) program in the Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Division (AGS) of the Directorate for Geosciences. |
