This grant, offered by the Communications, Circuits, and Sensing-Systems (CCSS) Program, is for supporting innovative research in advanced circuit and system hardware, signal processing techniques, and network architectures. Its purpose is to enable next-generation cyber-physical systems (CPS) by integrating computation, communication, and sensing with physical domains. The program invests in micro/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), diverse physical, chemical, and biological sensing systems, neurotechnologies, and related circuits. The goal is to create new complex and hybrid systems for vital applications including healthcare, environmental monitoring, homeland security, intelligent transportation, and smart buildings. CCSS encourages proposals in emerging areas like high-speed communications, personalized health monitoring, secured IoT connectivity, and dynamic-data-enabled autonomous systems, leveraging real-time sensing and machine learning.

| Description: | The Communications, Circuits, and Sensing-Systems (CCSS) Program supports innovative research in circuit and system hardware and signal processing techniques. CCSS also supports system and network architectures for communications and sensing to enable the next-generation cyber-physical systems (CPS) that leverage computation, communication, and sensing integrated with physical domains. CCSS invests in micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), physical, chemical, and biological sensing systems, neurotechnologies, and communication & sensing circuits and systems. The goal is to create new complex and hybrid systems ranging from nano- to macro-scale with innovative engineering principles and solutions for a variety of applications including but not limited to healthcare, medicine, environmental and biological monitoring, communications, disaster mitigation, homeland security, intelligent transportation, manufacturing, energy, and smart buildings. CCSS encourages research proposals based on emerging technologies and applications for communications and sensing such as high-speed communications of terabits per second and beyond, sensing and imaging covering microwave to terahertz frequencies, personalized health monitoring and assistance, secured wireless connectivity and sensing for the Internet of Things, and dynamic-data-enabled autonomous systems through real-time sensing and learning.
