U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS): Science and Technology (S&T): Technologically Speaking Podcast

A recent topic on the Technologically Speaking Podcast was With Data Standards, You Know Exactly What to Expect. S&T program manager Norman Speicher discussed the urgent need for interoperability standards in response to the increasing effects of climate changethink floods or wildfires. Much of the response and recovery information that is gathered by flood sensors, wildfire sensors, and local agencies exists in unique and proprietary formats. Interoperability standards would allow these large amounts of data (that are already being collected) to be combined and shared, creating a clearer picture to prevent, plan for, and respond to emergencies. Tune in to hear Norman talk us through what happens when data cant be shared, as well as S&Ts collaboration with the Open Geospatial Consortium, which helps ensure that it can be in the future.&紳莉莽梯;Listen to this and previously recorded DHS Technologically Speaking podcasts

National Science Foundation Dear Colleague Letter (DCL): Bioinspired Design Collaborations to Accelerate the Discovery-Translation Process

To facilitate the translation of knowledge generated through research in the biological and engineering sciences to solutions and prototypes needed for societal and economic impacts, this DCL seeks to leverage current NSF programs to: 1) Encourage early-stage, transdisciplinary collaboration of two or more investigators doing research in biological and engineering sciences with the potential for bioinspired design applications; and 2) Accelerate the translation of research findings into projects with potential societal and economic impacts that could be ready for commercialization.

National Science Foundation Announces Upcoming Topics for 2023 Convergence Accelerator Solicitation

Building upon the National Science Foundation's (NSF) investments in foundational research, the NSF's Convergence Accelerator program, within the Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships or TIP, supports use-inspired solutions toward societal impact. The NSF's Convergence Accelerator program model comprises three phases: topic ideation, followed by convergence-research Phases 1 and 2. Teams funded by the Convergence Accelerator include multiple disciplines, a wide range of expertise, and cross-sector partnerships to stimulate innovative ideas and develop long-lasting, sustainable solutions to societal and economic challenges that are organized around the program's research track topics.  The tracks announced are Track K: Equitable Water Solutions, Track L: Real-World Chemical Sensing Applications, and Track M: Bio-Inspired Design Innovations.
