NSF’s Smart & Connected Communities (S&CC) solicitation invites strongly interdisciplinary, integrative research and research capacity-building activities that will improve understanding of smart and connected communities and lead to discoveries that enable sustainable change to enhance community functioning.

Note that this is substantially oriented to engineers and computer scientists, so learning-oriented proposals might need a strong partnership with those groups.

Also, a new Dear Colleague Letter: Opportunities for Research in Smart & Connected Communities summarizes the types of funding opportunities and activities that NSF envisions for FY 2017.
