ai institutes solicitation

An example of such an acknowledgement would be: “This material is based upon work supported by the AI Research Institutes program supported by NSF [and USDA-NIFA, DHS, DOT, and/or VA per award letter] under Award Title and No. Proposers are cautioned that only a Grants and Agreements Officer may make commitments, obligations or awards on behalf of NSF or authorize the expenditure of funds. What is sometimes referred to as “core AI” research addresses, in general, the theory and methods that give rise to these target abilities and their implementation in machines. Knowledge transfer involves the exchange of scientific and technical information between the Institute and external non-academic stakeholders (such as industrial partners or public policy-makers) with the objective of applying that knowledge. To prepare and submit a proposal via FastLane, see detailed technical instructions available at: Before using Grants.gov for the first time, each organization must register to create an institutional profile. USDA-NIFA retains the right to make final determinations regarding matching requirements.Travel budgets for a representative from each participating organization in an Institute or planning activity for attending annual PI meetings should also be included.

Award recipients shall, upon request, make available to USDA-NIFA the policies, procedures, and documentation to support the conduct of the training.For information about USDA-NIFA’s implementation of Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research requirements, see For all multi-year grants (including both standard and continuing grants), the Principal Investigator must submit an annual project report to the cognizant Program Officer no later than 90 days prior to the end of the current budget period. An AI-based approach to agriculture can go much further by addressing whole food systems, inputs and outputs, internal and external consequences, and issues and challenges at micro, meso, and macro scales. Please note that the proposal preparation instructions provided in this program solicitation may deviate from the PAPPG instructions.Important Instructions: Due to the complexity of the proposals being submitted, use of FastLane to prepare and submit proposals is strongly encouraged. Travel and event budget should be included for a retreat of institute personnel as required in Special Award Conditions. AI is unlike most other technologies applied in this sector in that it is often less transparent and can indirectly influence the attitudes and decision making of the producers and consumers who have important ties to the food they eat. Collaborators and Other Affiliations information for participants listed in the first item under Supplementary Documents above who are not PIs, co-PIs, or Senior Personnel can be uploaded under Additional Single Copy Documents using Transfer File.Inclusion of voluntary committed cost sharing is prohibited.The following instructions apply to awards made by USDA-NIFA:For awards made by USDA-NIFA, Section 1462(a) and (c) of the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 (NARETPA) limits indirect costs for the overall award to 30 percent of Total Federal Funds Awarded (TFFA) under a research, education, or extension grant. No later than 120 days following expiration of a grant, the PI also is required to submit a final project report, and a project outcomes report for the general public.Failure to provide the required annual or final project reports, or the project outcomes report, will delay NSF review and processing of any future funding increments as well as any pending proposals for all identified PIs and co-PIs on a given award. There were also untended consequences on natural resource use, water and soil quality, and pest population expansion. Identify key members of the Institute Management Team and explain their specific roles and areas of responsibility. End-use products include: small molecules, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, biochemicals and biomaterials, macromolecules and nanomaterials, and commodity chemicals; while impacted technologies include: clean energy technologies, advanced manufacturing, and sustainable processes.Current discoveries and production of chemicals (including nanomaterials) are largely experience- and/or intuition-driven, requiring labor-intensive syntheses, separations, and characterization. Describe the contribution/role of partner organizations in the broadening participation plans.
