Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to alert you to a new Foundation-wide funding opportunity that may be of interest to some of you.
Through the Smart Health and Wellbeing (SHB) Program, NSF seeks to address fundamental technical and scientific issues that would support much needed transformation of healthcare from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive, proactive, evidence-based, person-centered and focused on wellbeing rather than disease. The issues to be addressed include, but are not limited to, sensor technology, networking, information and machine learning technology, modeling cognitive processes, system and process modeling, and social and economic issues. Effective technology-based solutions must satisfy a multitude of constraints arising from clinical needs, social interactions, cognitive limitations, barriers to behavioral changes, heterogeneity of data, semantic mismatch and limitations of current cyberphysical systems.
The high degree of complexity and broad range of the problems require multidisciplinary teams of scientists and engineers to identify and address barriers limiting quality of life, independence for chronically ill and elder individuals, and other aspects of wellbeing.
Fundamental technological advances are also needed to understand the impediments that prevent people from engaging in health-promoting life styles including diet and exercise and from participating in their healthcare decisions.
Proposers are invited to submit proposals in two project classes, which are defined as follows:
Type I: Exploratory Projects (EXP) - $200,000 to $600,000 total budget with
durations from two to three years; and
Type II: Integrative Projects (INT) - $600,001 to $2,000,000 total budget with
durations from four to five years
A more complete description of the project classes can be found at:

Please follow up with one of the cognizant program directors for any questions you may have.

Proposals may only be submitted by the following:
Universities and Colleges - Universities and two-and four-year colleges (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Such organizations also are referred to as academic institutions. Non-profit, non-academic organizations: Independent museums, observatories, research labs, professional societies and similar organizations in the U.S. associated with educational or research activities.
Good luck and best wishes,
