"The NSF Directorate for Engineering (ENG) seeks to improve the quality of life and the economic strength of the Nation by fostering innovation, creativity, and excellence in engineering research and education . Specifically, ENG enables the Nation's long-term capacity to perform by: (1) investing in the creation of new engineering knowledge and the development of human capital within disciplines and at their interfaces; (2) making critical investments to enable an intelligent, agile and adaptable physical infrastructure for engineering research and education; (3) improving the quality and effectiveness of engineering research and education through the integration of and systemic reform of these processes; and (4) enabling knowledge transfer connections among diverse constituencies and communities. Areas of research include: chemical and biochemical systems; environmental engineering and sustainability; bioengineering and engineering healthcare; fundamental transport, thermal and fluid phenomena; the future of manufacturing; the design of innovative materials and building technologies; infrastructure resilience and sustainability; tools and systems for decision-making, robotics and controls; electronic, magnetic, photonic and quantum devices and component technologies; energy and power; computation, networking, communications, and cyber technologies to support the integration and networking of intelligent systems;; the and cross-cutting activities and special studies and analyses. ENG supports programs for Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI); Engineering Research Centers (ERC); Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC); and research instrumentation and research infrastructure, including the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) and the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI). Support is also provided for undergraduate student research, graduate research fellowships, postdoctoral fellowships, broadening participation in engineering, engineering education research, and workforce development. ENG also provides support for NSF-wide programs, including the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program and the Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Initiative (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science).
