The National Science Foundation’s Directorates for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), Engineering (ENG), Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), and Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) are offering this grant. This grant, ‘Enhancing Access to the Radio Spectrum (EARS),’ is specifically for the purpose of identifying bold new concepts with the potential to contribute to significant improvements in the efficiency of radio spectrum utilization. Furthermore, it aims to enhance the ability for traditionally underserved Americans to benefit from current and future wireless-enabled goods and services. This department is seeking to fund innovative collaborative research that transcends the traditional boundaries of existing programs, particularly studies that span disciplines covered by two or more of the participating NSF directorates, fostering cross-disciplinary breakthroughs in wireless technology and accessibility.
