NSF is hosting a webinar to introduce and answer questions related to the new Future Manufacturing program solicitation (NSF 20-552) on Thursday March 26, 2020, from 1:00pm to 2:00pm EDT. Program directors will discuss the research thrusts, types of proposals, proposal requirements and evaluation criteria specific to this solicitation. If you have questions after reading the solicitation, please submit them to FutureManufacturing@nsf.gov.   After the event, copies of the webcast, captions, and presentation will be posted on the webinar event page. 

For Fiscal Year 2020, the NSF seeks proposals from multidisciplinary groups of researchers to address challenges in three thrust areas:  Cyber Manufacturing, Eco Manufacturing, and Biomanufacturing.  Interested researchers can find a description of the opportunity and a link to the details on the solicitation's web page, and the full details, requirements, and review criteria can be found in the solicitation itself. Letters of intent are due April 10, and full proposals are due June 5, 2020.
