The Integrated Data Systems and Services (IDSS) program by the National Science Foundation supports large-scale projects that enhance data systems and services for science and engineering research. It funds projects that develop new systems, expand existing ones to a national level, or plan future projects. The focus is on projects that benefit multiple scientific disciplines rather than just one.
Who it's for: This grant is for organizations that can develop or expand national-scale data systems and services. It's suitable for those involved in data-intensive and AI-driven research, innovation, and education across multiple scientific fields.
