Events, Resources and Contact Information

Office hours

The NSF Engines Program Team is hosting several office hour appointments throughout the application period to answer questions about the program and funding opportunity. Before signing up for an appointment, prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to watch the program overview video as well as read the funding opportunity and FAQ documents. It is often the case, that many answers can be found in these resources, leaving more time in office hours, to discuss more region/team-specific questions. Due to a large volume of requests and limited time slots, members representing the same regional team should plan to join the same office hour appointment.

Sign up for office hours.
Note: Office hours are available from August 8 to September 28, 2022.

NSF Engines Proposers’ Day

The NSF Engines Proposers’ Day was a virtual workshop held on August 1, 2022, for regional teams that submitted concept outlines and advanced to the next step as outlined in the program's funding opportunity. More than 2,700 team members attended the event, which was designed to help regional teams spanning all 50 states and four U.S. territories develop compelling proposals.

NSF Engines roadshow

The NSF Engines roadshow was a series of five regionally focused virtual events held during the spring of 2022 that served as jumping-off points for NSF Engine application discussion development. Each roadshow included an overview of the NSF Engines program, a panel discussion with leading innovation and technology ecosystem builders from across the country, and interactive breakout rooms for regional collaboration. Over 1500 people attended these events that covered all 50 states and U.S. territories.
