Convergence research is a means for solving vexing research problems addressing societal needs. It entails integrating knowledge, methods, and expertise from different disciplines and forming novel frameworks to catalyze scientific discovery and innovation. Convergence research has two characteristics: (i) it is driven by a specific and compelling problem, and (ii) it features deep integration across disciplines.
The URoL Big Idea aims to advance understanding of life across levels of organization and across scales of time and space. It also aims to develop research tools and infrastructure to approach ever more complex questions; to train the next generation of researchers to tackle questions that cross scales and disciplines; and to foster collaboration and convergent research in the life sciences. <\/li>
\nNNA seeks innovations in fundamental\nconvergent research across the social, natural, environmental, and computing\nand information sciences as well as engineering that address the interactions\nor connections between natural and built environments and social systems and\nhow these connections inform our understanding of Arctic change and its local\nand global effects. Sensing and data analytics are critical to furthering this\nunderstanding.
\nNSF INCLUDES aims to transform education and career pathways to help broaden\nparticipation in science and engineering. Projects span a number of broadening\nparticipation activities from STEM engagement and preparatory experiences for\nstudents and other community members to educator training to new academic\nprograms that expand access to STEM education.
\n<\/strong>QL aims to stimulate innovation and\naccelerate development of new quantum-based technologies by answering\nfundamental questions relating to quantum entanglement, coherence, quantum\nsystems engineering, algorithms, and quantum computing and communication\narchitectures.
