NSF – Computing Community Consortium (CCC): Defining the Large-Scale Infrastructure Needs of the Computing Research Community

Program Description:

This program supports the establishment of a Computing Community Consortium (CCC). NSF will support the CCC as a community proxy responsible for facilitating the conceptualization and design of promising infrastructure-intensive projects identified by the computing research community to address compelling scientific “grand challenges” in computing. The CCC will ensure broad community engagement in the identification of compelling research agendas and in the subsequent identification and refinement of related shared use infrastructure requirements.

Proposal must be submitted by an organization that is a consortium or that represents a consortium with a stake in basic research and education in computing. An organization may only submit one CCC proposal.
