Dynamics, Control and Systems Diagnostics (DCSD)

The Dynamics, Control and Systems Diagnostics (DCSD) program supports fundamental theoretical, computational, and experimental research that is knowledge-driven or inspired by applications, focusing on the modeling, analysis, diagnostics, and control of the dynamic behavior of systems. The program invites proposals that match innovative research in dynamic systems with compelling applications. Proposals should articulate clear Intellectual Merit through the advancement of knowledge in one of the following foundational areas: modeling, analysis, diagnostics, control, and integration. • The DCSD program encourages principal investigators (PIs) to request the right amount of financial support necessary and sufficient to achieve the scope of a project and to justify this accordingly. • Proposals should also clearly describe the intended Broader Impacts of the envisioned work, beyond the scientific merits of the proposal. • The DCSD program is committed to broadening access and inclusivity in the research community. • To ensure that a project is appropriate for the DCSD program prior to the submission of a full proposal, PIs are strongly encouraged to send a one-page draft Project Summary to [email protected].
