Description
The Discovery Horizons program provides support for interdisciplinary research activities that advance at least two intertwined research disciplines with at least one of them outside the natural sciences and engineering (NSE). The program supports innovative research that bridges disciplines, fosters collaboration across academic fields and provides training opportunities for highly qualified personnel (HQP).
The Discovery Horizons application process has two stages: the LOI stage and the full application stage. All stages of the application must be submitted through the Convergence Portal. A limited number of applicants will be invited to submit a full application based on a relevance review of their LOIs.
