Please disseminate widely - New NSF ERC solicitation, webinar, consults, and FAQ available! NSF Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) are prestigious 10-year awards granted to university consortiums in partnership with an Innovation Ecosystem. NSF funding exceeds $50 million, further amplified by co-funding from the partner IE, leading to substantial total awards. Each ERC adopts a system engineering approach to address high-risk, high-reward challenges with profound societal implications. 🔹 NSF now welcomes proposals - Submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) by Sept 3, 2024, and a 10-page preliminary proposal by Sept 30, 2024. Access the solicitation here: [Link to NSF ERC Solicitation](https://lnkd.in/eewyAz95) 🔹 Join the upcoming webinar to learn more about the Engineering Research Center Program and get your questions answered: [Link to Webinar](https://lnkd.in/ds4c3s35) 🔹 Book consultations with the NSF ERC Team for personalized guidance: [Link to Consultation Bookings](https://lnkd.in/dGwqPuiR) 🔹 Find answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ) here: [Link to NSF ERC FAQ](https://lnkd.in/dAfDpd83) 🔹 For additional queries or to schedule an alternate appointment, reach out to nsferc@nsf.gov.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today announced a competition for a new AI-focused Manufacturing USA Institute that will integrate expertise in AI, manufacturing and supply chain networks to promote manufacturing resilience. This is great news for the engineering community; concept papers are due Sept. 30. Thinking about submitting for this opportunity? Get a leg up! Leverage the future engineering research priorities identified in two of our recent #ERVAcommunity reports that anticipate the convergence of AI engineering and manufacturing! Download today: "Engineering the Future of Distributed Manufacturing" (https://lnkd.in/dswatq94) and "AI Engineering" (https://lnkd.in/gswDnBFT). #engineeringresearch #aiengineering #distributedmanufacturing https://lnkd.in/eHd8HCcq

Nice to see an engineering/technology solution to make the symptoms of menopause a bit more manageable. The upcoming report from ERVA's June visioning event, Transforming Women's Health Outcomes through Engineering, will identify priorities to catalyze a range of new tech and discoveries to bring welcome relief to women across all life stages. Watch this space! https://lnkd.in/e7a-Kfhk

Today's webinar is not to be missed. It will explore the report on AI Engineering, a generational opportunity to supercharge engineering for the benefit of society. ERVA co-PI Pramod Khargonekar of UC Irvine and Bea (Birgit) Braun of Dow will lead a discussion the report and the 8 research priorities the engineering community must tackle to catalyze action. The event is free but registration is required, so sign up now: https://bit.ly/4cQfPlP #ERVACommunity #engineering #AI

Great research leaders like Onyema Osuagwu help make our visioning events and the resulting reports valuable to the engineering community. Have you downloaded the report? Learn about engineering research priorities to advance AI engineering in the report: https://lnkd.in/gswDnBFT #engineering

ERVA Thematic Task Force members like Vijay Kumar, Penn Engineering, are the engines that power our visioning events. Vijay also serves on our Standing Council and co-led our first visioning event on addressing climate change. Our AI Engineering event would not have been possible without incredible leaders who volunteer their time for this work.
