Sustainability Invitation Code: RFP-22-01

The goal of this RFP is to solicit proposals that aim to conduct research in information and communications technologies (ICTs) and their application towards more sustainable outcomes.

Budgets depend on the institution and geography, since costs vary. Research funds are to cover costs associated with:

Graduate or post-graduate student employment
Limited release time (1-2 months) for PI
Research support costs (e.g. equipment, laptops, incidental costs)
Travel associated with research (e.g. conferences, standards)
Overhead for research gifts is limited to 5%

Moneda: USD

The Applicant and Principal Investigator listed on a proposal must each be a full-time faculty or research staff member at a university or other research institution.
Students, adjunct faculty, or part-time faculty/staff may participate in the research and be listed on the proposal but may not be a Principal Investigator. To be eligible to receive an award, an institution subject to U.S. tax law must qualify as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
Non-U.S. institutions must provide proof of non-profit equivalency.
If a PI is approved for funding, Cisco Research will only fund a PI one proposal at a time and you will not be eligible to resubmit another proposal request until your funding has ended and your impact report is completed.
