The Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) program invests in coordinated campus-level cyberinfrastructure improvements, innovation, integration, and engineering for science applications and distributed research projects. Projects that help overcome disparities in cyber-connectivity associated with geographiclocation,andtherebyadvancethegeographyofinnovationandenablepopulationsbasedintheselocalestobecomemore nationally competitive in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research and education are particularly encouraged. Science-driven requirements are the primary motivation for any proposed activity. CC* awards will be supported in five program areas: Area (1) Data Driven Networking Infrastructure (Campus or Region), Area (2) Computing and the Computing Continuum (Campus or Region), Area (3) Network Integration and Applied Innovation (Small or Large), Area (4) Data Storage and Digital Archives, (Campus or Region), and Area (5) Strategy (Campus or Region). 

Eligibility: *Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following:   - Institutions of Higher Education <span>(see definition in PAPPG Chapter I.E.1.)</span>may submit proposals to any of the program areas.    NSF welcomes proposals that include efforts to broaden geographic and demographic participation in campus cyberinfrastructure. Proposals from minority-serving institutions and institutions in EPSCoR-eligible jurisdictions, along with collaborations between these institutions and those in non-EPSCoR jurisdictions, are encouraged.    Non-&shy;profit, Non&shy;-academic Organizations <span>(see definition in PAPPG Chapter I.E.1.)</span>may submit to program Area (1) <span>Data DrivenNetworking Infrastructurefor theRegion</span>, program Area (2) <span>Computing and the Computing Continuumfor theRegion</span>, program Area (4) <span>Data Storage and Digital Archives for the Region</span>, and program Area (5) <span>Strategy for the Region only</span>.    Collaborative proposals submitted as simultaneous submission of proposals from different organizations, with each organization requesting a separate award are not allowed. <span>Collaborative proposals must be submitted as a single proposal, in which a single award is being requested (with subawards administered by the lead organization)</span>.    For Area (1) Data-Driven Networking Infrastructure for the Campus, Area (2) Computing and the Computing Continuum for the Campus, and Area (4) Data Storage for the Campus, past and current recipients in these areas are not eligible to submit a proposal(s) to that area again for 5 years from the previous award start date.Any Campus-level proposal received from an organization having already received an award in this Campus-level area within 5 years will be returned without review. The five-year rule does not apply to any <span>proposal for the Region</span>in these areas.<a id="_anchor_1" name="_msoanchor_1" href="https://nsf-my.sharepoint.com/personal/7341121589_nsf_gov/Documents/Desktop/CCstar/Campus%20Cyberinfrastructure%20-%20Copy.docx#_msocom_1"><br /></a>
